Q: Same-width lines in multiline text in CSS3 I'm trying to make multiline text the same width using CSS3 and no JavaScript.
To illustrate what I'm looking for, let's take this sentence:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry.

When displaying this text in a narrow container it breaks across multiple lines like this:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and
typesetting industry.

What I'd like to do is have it break something like this:

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of
the printing and typesetting industry.

The length of each line is almost the same now.
Is this possible using CSS alone? If not, how else would this be possible?
P.S. The text I'd like to be styled this way is not constant, so fixed width solution won't work.

A: This will not be an exact solution. But this is might be the closest you can reach with CSS alone.
You can use text-align:justify along with word-break:keep-all to make all the lines except the last one take the entire length of the container.
The length of the final line may or may not be close to the length of the container depending on the text.
Using a resizable container to show the same.

$(function() {
  $("#container").resizable();
});
#container {
  width: 350px;
  height: 200px;
  border: 2px solid #ccc;

  text-align:justify;
  word-break:keep-all;
}

As we move from using Curves to using Surfaces in a model, we can now begin to represent objects we see in our three dimensional world. While Curves are not always planar ie. they are three dimensional, the space they define is always bound to one dimension. Surfaces give us another dimension and a collection of additional properties we can use within other modeling operations.
A Surface is a mathematical shape defined by a function and two parameters, Instead of t for Curves, we use U and V to describe the corresponding parameter space. This means we have more geometrical data to draw from when working with this type of Geometry. For example, Curves have tangent vectors and normal planes (which can rotate or twist along the curve's length), whereas Surfaces have normal vectors and tangent planes that will be consistent in their orientation.
Surface Domain: A surface domain is defined as the range of (U,V) parameters that evaluate into a three dimensional point on that surface. The domain in each dimension (U or V) is usually described as two numbers (U Min to U Max) and (V Min to V Max).
Although the shape of the Surface by not look "rectangular" and it locally may have a tighter or looser set of isocurves, the "space" defined by its domain is always two dimensional. In Dynamo, Surfaces are always understood to have a domain defined by a minimum of 0.0 and maximum of 1.0 in both U and V directions. Planar or trimmed Surfaces may have different domains.
Isocurve (or Isoparametric Curve): A curve defined by a constant U or V value on the surface and a domain of values for the corresponding other U or V direction.
UV Coordinate: The Point in UV Parameter Space defined by U, V, and sometimes W.
Perpendicular Plane: A Plane that is perpendicular to both U and V Isocurves at a given UV Coordinate.
Normal Vector: A Vector defining the direction of "up" relative to the Perpendicular Plane.
NURBS Surfaces are very similar to NURBS curves. You can think of NURBS Surfaces as a grid of NURBS Curves that go in two directions. The shape of a NURBS Surface is defined by a number of control points and the degree of that surface in the U and V directions. The same algorithms are used to calculate shape, normals, tangents, curvatures and other properties by way of control points, weights and degree.
In the case of NURBS surfaces, there are two directions implied by the geometry, because NURBS surfaces are, regardless of the shape we see, rectangular grids of control points. And even though these directions are often arbitrary relative to the world coordinate system, we will use them frequently to analyze our models or generate other geometry based on the Surface.
Polysurfaces are composed of Surfaces that are joined across an edge. Polysurfaces offer more than two dimensional UV definition in that we can now move through the connected shapes by way of their Topology.
While "Topology" generally describes a concept around how parts are connected and/or related Topology in Dynamo is also a type of Geometry. Specifically it is a parent category for Surfaces, Polysurfaces, and Solids.
Sometimes called patches, joining Surfaces in this manner allows us to make more complex shapes as well as define detail across the seam. Conveniently we can apply a fillet or chamfer operation to the edges of a Polysurface.
Let's import and evaluate a Surface at a Parameter in Dynamo to see what kind of information we can extract.
Surface.GetIsoline returns the Isoparametric Curve at a U or V Coordinate - note the isoDirection input.

Colorado coronavirus latest: March 30: Denver firefighters test positive for COVID-19
COVID-19 is in Colorado - we'll continue to post updates and headlines on how Colorado is being affected by the virus.

COLORADO, USA — Cases of COVID-19, a disease caused by a new strain of coronavirus, began popping up in the United States in January. On March 5, the first case was announced in Colorado.
Each day, we will post a new blog that will track the daily changes in Denver and throughout Colorado as we get them.
RELATED: Colorado coronavirus latest for March 31
WHAT TO KNOW RIGHT NOW
2,627 cases in Colorado, 414 hospitalized and 51 deaths. Get the latest from CDPHE.
Colorado issued a statewide stay-at-home order that began Thursday morning and will be in effect until at least April 11. (Some local orders remain in place and might be more restrictive.)
10 Denver firefighters have tested positive from the disease.
Two Coloradans in their 40s are among those who have died of COVID-19, according to the governor's office.
In a news conference, Gov. Jared Polis said the state is starting to see the impact of social distancing measures such as closing bars and restaurants, and there are 60 percent fewer vehicles on the state's roads.
> Read updates from March 29 here.
Ten Denver firefighters test positive for COVID-19
Denver Fire Department spokesman, Greg Pixley, confirmed to 9NEWS that ten Denver city firefighters have tested positive for COVID-19.
Pixley said he doesn't know where the firefighters were or how they were exposed to the virus.
"There are a lot of unknowns about how people are affected by this – it could be they visited King Soopers recenlty, or interacted with a person a couple of weeks ago," he said.
All ten firefighters who tested positive are under quarantine. Pixley added that firefighters have been faced with the danger of contracting the virus throughout the country, including Denver's firefighters.
Inmate in Denver tests positive
An inmate has tested positive for COVID-19 at the downtown Detention Center the city said.
Per COVID-19 protocols, the inmate has been isolated in the medical unit of the jail and is being monitored by Denver Health medical staff. The housing unit the inmate was being held in has been decontaminated, the city said.
Employees that develop symptoms have been instructed to report to their supervisor and will follow the city's COVID-19 employee protocol.
Colorado seeing the impact from social distancing, Polis says
At a news conference Monday, Gov. Jared Polis said the state is starting to see the impact of social distancing measures such as closing restaurants, bars and schools, and limiting gatherings of large groups.
The average time in which the number of cases double statewide is now approaching five days, instead of every other day, as it was toward the beginning of the pandemic, Polis said.
The governor urged Coloradans not to panic, saying that 80% to 85% of people who get COVID-19 will not require medical attention.

RTD offers grocery delivery service to Access-a-Ride customers
On Monday, RTD started grocery delivery service for its Access-a-Ride customers, to help people with disabilities to get food without having to leave their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. No fare is required for those customers to use the service.
RELATED: RTD offering grocery delivery to Access-a-Ride customers
The grocery pickup is available from King Soopers, Safeway, Community Ministry Southwest food bank, Senior Hub Senior Solutions, and Adams County Food Bank. Additional options could be added later would be posted to RTD's website.
Normal Access-a-Ride services will still be available for essential purposes.
Clarification from the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) regarding filing for unemployment
CDLE Deputy Executive Director Cher Roybal Haavind said, "No one needs to cancel their claim or file a new one if they already filed. The biggest worker group we are trying to communicate with is self employed/independent contractors and we are asking them to NOT file claims yet as we are not able to process them yet."

Colorado Springs King Soopers employee tests positive for COVID-19
An employee, who worked at the King Soopers at Academy and Woodmen (6930 N. Academy) tested positive, according to El Paso County Public Health. That person last worked at the store on March 28.
Out of an abundance of caution, Public Health is alerting anyone who may have been at this King Soopers location on the following dates:
"Based on our assessment of the situation, and the fact that this individual worked several days while experiencing symptoms, we felt it was important to make people aware," said Dr. Robin Johnson, El Paso County Public Health Medical Director. "While there is no need to panic, we encourage people to monitor for symptoms, and to follow the steps outlined below should they begin to feel ill."
Public Health learned of the situation late Sunday evening and began working with the store immediately to discuss sanitation and cleaning procedures.
King Soopers has been diligently following all disinfecting guidelines from local, state and federal public health agencies, and has been regularly disinfecting and cleaning.
Childcare tuition credit for essential workers
The state on Monday announced that it would provide a full tuition credit for all essential workers for childcare services. Workers exempt from the stay-at-home order include health care workers, public safety, sanitation, grocery workers, child care providers, educators and more.
The 100% tuition credit will provide child care to all essential workers until May 17. The list of essential workers who will be covered by this care, as outlined in the order, includes:
Critical Manufacturing
Critical Retail
Providers of Basic Necessities to Economically Disadvantaged Populations
Critical Services Necessary to Maintain the Safety, Sanitation and Critical Operations of Residences or Other Critical Businesses
Vendors that Provide Critical Services or Products, Including Logistics and Technology Support, Child Care and Services
The program is aimed at serving families in need of child care in order to continue to perform their critical duties. Parents who have options to keep their children at home with a family member or have other arrangements are encouraged to use those. Emergency child care provided through the Collaborative is for when all other non-group care settings have been exhausted and families have no other options.

A 20-Year Maximum for Prison Sentences

Yes, Drudge had this. I think that it's rather interesting.
Gentrification isn't just taking place in working-class neighborhoods. It's happening to jobs, too.
Walk around parts of Brooklyn, Portland or Pittsburgh, and you'll find stylish cocktail bars, barbers and the occasional butcher shop staffed by young, college-educated employees. For an affluent segment of today's urban economy, these jobs have been revalued from low-status semi-manual labor to glamorous occupations, says sociologist Richard Ocejo.
In his new book "Masters of Craft: Old Jobs in the New Urban Economy," Mr. Ocejo examines the forces driving a resurgence of occupations such as butcher and bartender among young middle-class urbanites. A similar dynamic is at work with a handful of other jobs, including craft brewer, bookbinder, furniture maker and fishmonger.
The Labor Department projects that between 2014 and 2024 the number of bartenders and barbers in the U.S. will grow 10%, while butchers will see a 5% increase, compared with a 7% job growth for all occupations over the same period. Median pay for these jobs was less than $30,000 a year in 2016.
Millennials are drawn to these occupations, in part, as a reaction to "the ephemerality of the digital age," says Mr. Ocejo, a sociology professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the City University of New York Graduate Center.
Distinct from many of today's most vaunted jobs in fields like information technology and financial services, these trades "are based in using your hands, with actual tools and materials, to provide a tangible concrete product," he says.
Interesting--and pretty much in line with what Mike Rowe has said for a while.
While it is good to see people wanting to work with their hands and to acquire manual skills, it will only be a matter of time till an illegal shows up willing to do the job for half price.
What we really need is for young people to learn to be plumbers, electricians, machinists etc. these are skills that never grow old.
Those are more the skills that Mike Rowe has been pushing for. He takes a lot of flack from liberals when he talks about not everyone needs or should have a college degree.
Finding HVAC techs in my area is fruitless!

Dr. Marvin Hall '77
Charles Stapleton '78
Professional Achievement Award 2012
The award recognizes an alumnus for continued pursuit of intellectual growth and exploration of creative ventures in a chosen field, resulting in notable career success and recognition.
During 26 years at the University of Memphis, Dr. Julia Heath had been a faculty member honored nationally for her teaching of economics, chair of the economics department for nine years and, beginning in 2002, director of the university's Center for Economic Education.
Last year, asking herself "What else can I do?" but not interested in other potential administrative jobs at Memphis, she decided to move on.
That move brought the Bellefontaine, Ohio, native and 1978 Bluffton graduate back to the state last March as director of the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center.
"Professionally, it was time" for a change, says the 2012 recipient of Bluffton's Professional Achievement Award. But it was also a good time personally, with her daughter graduating from high school and preparing to leave for college this fall in Philadelphia, and considering the prospect of returning to her home state.
"I liked the idea of coming back to Ohio," says Heath, who heard an admissions pitch for Bluffton as a high school student and enrolled without ever having visited campus. Among other things, she liked the sound of its focus on teaching—a feeling reaffirmed by her experience with faculty as a double major in psychology and sociology.
"What Bluffton did for me was raise the possibility that teaching was a calling," she says, explaining that "it has everything to do with who you are" rather than what you do.
She was particularly influenced by Kay Hardesty, a sociology faculty member who interested her in pursuing a doctorate. Her Ph.D. field changed first from sociology to operations research and then to economics, when Heath was smitten by a required microeconomics theory course that she was taking in the summer at the University of South Carolina "to get it over with," she says.
Completing her doctorate in 1986, she began her teaching career at Memphis. Her honors there included the Thomas W. Briggs Foundation Excellence in Teaching Award and the Distinguished Alumni Award for Teaching. In addition, she was named Financial Literacy Educator of the Year by the Tennessee Bankers Association in 2006 and by the National Association of Financial Literacy in 2008. And in 2010, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching recognized Heath as Tennessee Professor of the Year.
Also at Memphis, she started the Smart Tennessee financial literacy program, along with the Center for Economic Education.
The Smart Tennessee program, now for children in kindergarten through eighth grade, teaches students "how to make a good decision about money"—which she says is what they need to know first about finance. She maintains that students should be learning the opportunity cost of their economic decisions, meaning what they give up as a result of those decisions. While teaching basics like checkbook balancing is fine, she adds, "it does come down to choices and what are the consequences of choices." That kind of financial education, she says, will empower students and help them better participate in the broader economy as adults.
Toward the same end, Heath helped lead successful efforts to bring about Tennessee laws that require high school students to pass a one-semester, financial literacy course—beginning with this year's seniors—and year-end, financial literacy testing of students in grades 5 and 8.
Economic education, including teacher training, is central both to the center she directed at Memphis and the one she now heads at Cincinnati. There, the Economics Center also has a research function, producing economic analyses for corporations, governments and nonprofits. "This is an opportunity to explore what economic education can be with more resources at my disposal," she says of her new position.
But Heath will continue to teach one course each spring as well, and is also writing two economics-related columns per month for the Cincinnati Enquirer, one of them for young people.
"The way I teach has changed, but I'm still teaching, because that's who I am," she says.

NEWMARKET — The third-grade class at Newmarket Elementary School showed off their knowledge to parents at a science fair, held Wednesday night. This was the second year for the fair, with 100 students participating.
"The students were able to choose any topic that interested them," said third-grade teacher Diane Hughes, who had the first science fair last year in her class and this year expanded it to the entire grade. "They were able to do an invention, a science experiment with hypothesis, data and conclusion, a collection of something, research to a topic or question they wanted to know about, or a model. Their exhibit included a display board."
Popular experiments this year included animals (turtles, gorillas, butterflies, pandas, lions, fireflies, sharks and newts), plants, models of bridges, a volcano, catapult and guitar.
"The students learned so much about their topics," Hughes said.
"Through sharing with their peers, facts of all types and a variety of topics were learned. The scientific process was reviewed by those doing experiments, which is important in our curriculum. The kids said they enjoyed working with their parents on their projects and how they got to do some things that they don't normally get to do. Most importantly, the kids felt very proud of what they did. Working hard to meet success is a great lesson."


The game Call of Cthulhu is a role playing game, based on the writings of H. P. Lovecraft. Having been a fan of the writings and of the game, i have a long history with the game and his fiction, the game published in 1981, by Chaosium. The game is in simple terms a role playing game with a horror theme. Unlike most role playing games that use a horror theme, CoC (one of the more common acronyms for the game) seeks to create the feel of playing in a horror story, and like when one reads a horror story, one feels a controlled horror for enjoyment. one doesn't read horror stories or play role playing games for other than enjoyment…but one isn't going in like a member of an elite team determined and able to beat the baddie so much.
one's goal in CoC is to thwart the evil as one can, but at risk, one is not wanting to fight the big bad monsters if at all possible…mortality and sanity of the characters are on the table. the characters investigate, and try to stop the evil but if at all possible before the true evil is released.
Characters in CoC lose their lives or sanity (or both) at a remarkable rate in the game, but that is to a point part of the game. but again, these results only mean something if the players care about their characters.
I will elaborate a bit more in a post soon overlooking Lovecraft's writings and the themes of the game. These themes, however, form an undercurrent in the game and are part of what make it so fun.
I also may be starting a Call of Cthulhu campaign in the near future and will include session summaries/wrapups. The players and schedules are to be determined at this point.

Mixed reactions for postponing of seismic testing at Donkin Mine
'; htmlCode += '
'; htmlCode += ' '; htmlCode += ' '; htmlCode += '

'; jQuery("#storyPlayerNav").append(htmlCode); }
Published Saturday, November 18, 2017 7:55PM AST
After a sudden decision to postpone controversial seismic testing at the Donkin Mine in Nova Scotia, Maritimers are expressing both caution and relief.
The company operating the mine, Kameron Coal, announced Friday that it's putting off the polarizing project until 2018.
The company faced significant public backlash from both fishermen and First Nations who argue the tests would harm fisheries.
Fishermen's representative, Herb Nash says he's relieved the project has been put off.
"We're tickled pink with it," he says. "We couldn't be happier that Kameron Coal stopped it, right now and we really appreciate their effort."
The decision came shortly after a heated public meeting was held Tuesday in protest of the two weeks of seismic testing planned in the waters surrounding the mine.
The company made its decision despite studies presented by the Department of Fisheries and oceans biologists, indicating the seismic blasts wouldn't seriously harm fisheries.
Gary Taje is an international representative for United Mine Workers of America and he feels the turn of events could hurt the mine in the short term, but will eventually even itself out.
"They have good data to pull on and I don't think it will have a big impact on the future of that mine to hold it off for a year," Taje says.
Kameron Coal says its seismic testing will go ahead as planned sometime next year despite any backlash. Nash says he's hopefully they'll be able to come up with a solution by then.
"I'm hoping we can deal with them before next year," says Nash. "I'd love to meet with them with a few more fishermen because they are good people."
He's hopeful they can find middle ground shared by the chair of the Donkin Mine community liaison committee.
Paul Carrigan from the committee says he thinks an agreement will be reached.
"I think they will continue to get pushback from fishers," Carrigan says. "At the same time, if these tests have to be done in order for the mine to move forward and for safety in the mine."

M2 is the ultimate sativa high. It is a perfect example of what a sativa is supposed to feel like. When older smokers reminisce about how cannabis doesn't feel like it did back in the 60s and 70s, this is what they are referring to. M2 is an opportunity for younger generations to experience what an exceptional sativa feels like. The shown flowering time varies because clones flower much faster on this strain than plants grown from seed.
M2 is the ultimate sativa high. It is a perfect example of what a sativa is supposed to feel like. When older smokers reminisce about how cannabis doesn't feel like it did back in the 60s and 70s, this is what they are referring to. M2 is an opportunity for younger generations to experience what an exceptional sativa feels like.
Sometimes you want the perfect strain to hike, socialize, talk and laugh. Sometimes you want a creative boost to create art or listen to music. M2 is the ultimate strain for those purposes and it has no anxiety inducing effects. It is one that makes you aware of the warm sun on your face and makes colors more vivid. To this date, I have never smoked another strain that has come close to such a perfect sativa high. This is one strain I know I will have for the rest of my life because of its value to me.
M2 is a cross of four landrace sativas and the original Haze mixed in, which was a mix of landrace sativas bred by the Haze brothers some time ago. The high is clear as a bell but powerful. One of the attributes that makes this landrace cross so unusual is that there is none of the anxiety inducing traits so common to pure sativas. The smell/taste is unique and hard to describe. The best way to describe it is a refreshing lemon type smell.
M2 takes 14 weeks to flower but worth every bit of it. She is a heavy yielder and makes up for the time. The breeder that made this cross said he was regularly getting 8 ounces a plant in 3-gallon pots. Some phenos will be more airy buds typical of landrace sativas and others will have good density. A couple phenos will finish in 11 weeks but I don't think anything can touch the phenos that take 14 in terms of high.
I originally found M2 from meeting another grower, Greg. He emailed me and we ended up talking on the phone about genetics. He had told me about M2 and said he had been working on it for the last 40 years. Two other well-known breeders (to remain unnamed) approached Greg and asked him if they could release M2 under their brand. Lucky for us, Greg chose Elev8.
As a lifetime career, Greg traveled throughout the world working as a photographer. Over the years, he had opportunities to smoke some sativas that he thought were some of the best in the world. When he found that special landrace, he would collect and keep seeds.
Each time Greg does a cross, he would label the future breeding seed stock for reference. When he felt he had finally perfected it, that seed batch was labeled simply as "M2".
M2 is technically not a landrace because it is a cross of four landraces. It is a combination of landrace genetics. Because it is so close to its original landrace heritage, it didn't seem right to give it a commercial sounding name. I decided to just release it as "M2".
Two friends that I gave samples to both told me that the effect is unlike any other cannabis they have smoked. They said it felt like something else.
this is the most unique smoke ever. the taste is like no other, has a fairly strong lemon taste and smell. The high is very nice and potent. Overall its an impressive plant. Growing has been a little bit of a challenge as the branches are fairly weak for the decent size buds that it has. I have had to support the main trunk along with all the out reaching branches. IT LOVES the light, the more the better for this bad girl. Well worth the wait time if you ask me. The people that I have let try it, and this has only been a few as its so good I have kept most for myself, have loved it and stated its like no other strain they have ever tried. I plan on growing more when I get the funds to buy more seeds.

Mindoro Secures up to $1.3m Loan and Amends Earn-In Terms
CALGARY, ALBERTA, June 24, 2013 - Mindoro Resources Ltd. (TSXV: MIO; ASX: MDO; Frankfurt: WKN 906167) is pleased to announce that it has signed a secured promissory note to receive up to CAD $1.3 million from joint venture partner TVI Pacifc Inc. The loan will be used to fund operations for the next twelve months and finance an initial acquisition payment to Minimax Mineral Exploration Corporation for the remaining 25% interest in the Agata project.
Mindoro is negotiating to acquire the additional interest from Minimax, which will give Mindoro a 40% interest in the Agata high iron laterite direct shipping operation (DSO), limestone DSO operation, and Agata processing operation, once TVI earns its 60% interest in these projects. As previously disclosed in Mindoro's press release of February 13, 2013, the Agata nickel project is being advanced under the following two stage development objective:
Stage 1: undertake feasibility study and permitting for a DSO project, leading, subject to economic viability, to commencing a DSO operation in late 2013.
Stage 2: advance preferred processing technology to pilot testing, followed by a definitive feasibility study by the end of 2013. As disclosed in Mindoro's June 6, 2013, press release, TVI has commenced pilot-plant testing which will further define the technological parameters to be used in producing a Bankable Feasibility Study.
Terms of the Promissory Note
Mindoro may receive up to CAD $1.3 million from TVI pursuant to an agreed upon schedule of monthly draws. Funds will be repayable within twelve months of the first draw down; however, there is no minimum draw down amount and funds, plus interest, may be repaid at an earlier date without penalty. Mindoro will accrue interest at the greater of 15% per annum or TVI's cost of capital for funds obtained for this purpose. The promissory note is secured by shares in Mindoro's wholly owned subsidiary, MRL Nickel Philippines Inc.
Joint Venture Amendments
Mindoro and TVI have also agreed to amend the following terms of the original joint venture agreements, as previously disclosed in Mindoro's July 6, September 7, and September 27, 2012, press releases:
TVI's contributions to the Agata Mining Joint Venture and Agata Processing Joint Venture will be for shares in the applicable joint venture, rather than as paid in capital, with such shares to be issued as earned and placed in escrow until TVI's full 60% interest is earned. TVI will not retain any interest in the Agata Mining Joint Venture if it withdraws prior to commencing a DSO operation and will not retain any interest in the Agata Processing Joint Venure if it withdraws prior to completing a Definitive Feasibility Study.
TVI's minimum spending commitments pursuant to the Pan de Azucar Joint Venture agreements are extended by one year, from December 31, 2013, to December 31, 2014.

Tony Climie

Orpen Portraits in the Canadian
War Memorials Collection
by Robert F. Wodehouse, Curator of War Art
Sir William Orpen is represented in the Canadian War Memorials Collection by eight portraits. Seven of these are paintings of General Sir Arthur Currie and five divisional commanders together with Major Willis-O'Connor, ADC to General Currie. The eighth portrait is of Captain Reginald C. Hoidge, MC and Bar, an airman who was one of the early Canadian aces.
The choice by Lord Beaverbrook of Major William Orpen, Army Service Corps, to paint these portraits for his scheme for the Canadian War Memorials was an obvious one, as even before 1914 Orpen was one of the leading artists of his day. He was born at Stillorgan, co. Dublin, 27 November 1878, the fourth and youngest son of Arthur Herbert Orpen, a Dublin solicitor. He was an infant prodigy and entered the Dublin school of Art at the age of 11 and, at 17, the Slade school of Fine Art where he came under the critical encouragement of Henry Tonks. Fellow students were Augustus John and Ambrose McEvoy, both of whom were to become outstanding portrait painters and who were later to join him in contributing to the Canadian War Memorials scheme.
Success came quickly, backed as he was by the recommendation of John Singer Sargent, and he rapidly became a successful portrait painter. He was elected ARA in 1910, and his pictures in the ensuing years were among the main attractions of the exhibitions at Burlington House. For the first few years of the war Orpen limited his contribution to painting portraits for the funds of the Red Cross. With other famous painters he auctioned blank canvases on which the buyers' portraits were later painted, and the sums received were given to the Red Cross funds. However, by the end of 1915 more direct national service was demanded and through the influence of Sir John Cowans, then Quartermaster-General, for whom he was painting a portrait, he obtained a commission in the Army Service Corps. At Kensington Barracks London he conscientiously and effectively performed routine office work until the end of 1916. At that time he was among those selected as a war artist by Charles Masterman, a liberal politician who was put in charge of war propaganda by Asquith. Masterman liked the idea of reproducing paintings in his publications and recognized at once that artists could do what photographers could not. (1)
This early group included Muirhead Bone, Eric Kennington, Francis Dodd, James McBey, Paul Nash, and C. R. W. Nevinson. (2) With the assistance again of Sir John Cowans, he was promoted major and sent off to France. It was felt that this rank would facilitate amicable relations at the higher headquarters where he was destined to work.
In France in 1917 he painted energetically portraits of generals and privates and much of that superb record of war as he saw it, which he donated after the peace to the Imperial War Museum. It was early during this time that he met Lord Beaverbrook who was to prove such a friend in the summer of 1918. At this later date Orpen had been returned to England after a series of indiscretions and it was only at the insistence of Lord Beaverbrook, then head of the Ministry of Information, that he was permitted to return to the front in 1918. (3) After the armistice he became the official artist at the Peace Conference and painted a famous series of portraits and groups. It is worth recalling that, after nine months of work, he forfeited a commission of some £ 2000 when he replaced some forty eminent faces painted against the grandiose surroundings of Versailles with a coffin flanked by winged putti and two gaunt wraiths from the trenches. He called the painting To the Unknown British Soldier in France. This was his way of showing his displeasure at the contrast between the manoeuvering in high places and the misery and fatalities at the front. The painting caused considerable controversy. It had to be revised before being hung at the Royal Academy and was finally only accepted by the Imperial War Museum, minus putti and mad soldiers.
After the war Orpen resumed his successful career, being elected RA in 1919. He died at the relatively young age of 53 in 1931, worn out by hard work and hard play. Orpen was probably the most successful artist of his time. With nearly six hundred portraits to his name he assumed the position in the public eye which Sargent, and before him Millais, had occupied.
In his book, An Onlooker in France, begun during his time at the Peace Conference, Orpen relates how he first met Lord Beaverbrook at the dockside in Boulogne, some ten minutes before boat departure time, 'Are you Orpen?' 'Yes sir,' 'Are you willing to work for the Canadians?' 'Certainly, sir,' 'Well that's all right, jump in, and we'll go and have a drink,' It would appear that the initial plan was to have Orpen paint a portrait of General Currie together with a battle picture. (4) There is also mention in the files of a planned group of the Headquarters staff in France. (5) Certainly the seven military portraits by Orpen now in the collection would have formed the basis for such a group. In his book he records how in the autumn of 1917 he went up to Paris several weekends at odd times and painted Generals Burstall, Watson and Lipsett and Major Willis-O'Connor. However, the portraits of Watson, Lipsett and O'Connor are dated 1918, He makes no mention of when or where he painted General Currie or Generals Loomis and Macdonell, although again the latter is dated 1918, During the winter he also painted Brigadier-General Seeley who commanded the Canadian Cavalry Brigade; and he gives an amusing description of Sir Alfred Munnings in action. This picture is now in the Imperial War Museum.
The portraits of the six generals comprise a group of some historical importance, for it marks the first time that all four divisions in the field together with the Canadian Corps itself were commanded by native-born Canadians, Three of them, Burstall, Loomis and Watson, came from the province of Quebec, either Quebec city or Sherbrooke. Macdonell and Currie were from south-western Ontario, at Windsor and near London respectively; Burstall and Macdonell, graduates of R. M. C, had seen service in South Africa and were in the regular force at the outbreak of war. The other three had had varied careers in contracting, journalism or real estate and had risen from the ranks of the militia. General Lipsett is also an historic figure as he was the last British officer to command a Canadian division in the field and, while in Canada as Staff Officer for Western Canada from 1911 to 1914, had instructed General Currie and others at Militia Staff courses. Major Willis-O'Connor had been twice wounded before being made ADC to General Currie. After the war, he became senior ADC to Lord Byng and a succession of Governors General and was a well-known figure in Ottawa until his retirement from the army.

Can I Make Smores In The Microwave? | Can You Microwave?
Q: I am hosting a cub scout group on Friday, and I want to give them something fun to munch on while they are having their meeting. I want to make smores, but it is too cold for everyone to go around a campfire, and we have an electric stove. Can I make smores in the microwave? Is it possible?
A: Making smores in the microwave is a memory to be had by many children. For whatever reason these sweet, gooey snacks always hit the spot, and they are very easy to make.
To make smores in the microwave, you'll first want to get your graham crackers, chocolate, and marshmallows together in one place.
The only part that can be microwaved is truly the marshmallow. Place a single marshmallow on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 10-15 seconds. It will inflate until it is big and fluffy, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can (and will) explode all over your microwave.
Once big and fluffy, quickly take it out and assemble the smores.
Allow to let sit at room temperature, it will allow the chocolate to melt, or you can serve immediately.
It is possible to make more than one marshmallow in the microwave, but the critical point is that the marshmallows will be hot enough to melt the chocolate.
Making smores doesn't have to be a summer exclusive treat. Make them up at any time and enjoy these sweet little treats.


A variety of models have been developed to simulate the behavior of electroactive elastomers. As with all modeling applications, there are varying levels of uncertainty associated with measurement limitations and lack of knowledge of the constitutive behavior. Methods of quantifying this uncertainty have been explored previously using Bayesian statistics under uniaxial mechanical loading. The research presented here expands prior developments to quantify constitutive model uncertainty under multi-axial mechanical loading at different electrostatic fields. Specifically, we experimentally characterize and simulate transverse loading of a pre-stretched membrane under different electrostatic fields. We also quantify the dielectric response from electric displacement versus electric field loops. Bayesian statistical methods are employed to quantify modeling uncertainties in light of the data conducted on the 3M elastomer, VHB 4910.

Malaysia: Inauguration Apostolic Nunciature
Symbolizes Friendly Ties Between Malaysia and Holy See
November 24, 2017 04:53ZENIT StaffPope & Holy See
This structure "symbolizes the friendly ties between Malaysia and the Holy See," said Archbishop Giovanni Angelo Becciu, substitute of the Secretariat of State, at the inauguration November 23, 2017, of the new Apostolic Nunciature in Kuala Lumpur.
"The new Nunciature is a sign of the Holy See's international mission and its solicitude for the Catholic community in this nation, as well as for the good of all the Malaysian people," the Archbishop said. "The Church's activity in the international community is inspired by the Gospel precept that calls us to love God and neighbor."
Address of greetings of Archbishop G. Angelo Becciu
Your Eminence, My Brother Bishops,
Dear Priests and Religious,
Your Excellencies, distinguished Civil Authorities
and Members of the Diplomatic Corps,
It is my great pleasure to be here today and to convey to all of you the cordial greetings of His Holiness Pope Francis as we gather for the inauguration of the new offices and residence of the Apostolic Nunciature in Malaysia. I greet in particular Cardinal Anthony Soter Fernandez and Bishop Sebastian Francis, President of the Bishops' Conference, together with His Excellency [the Deputy Foreign Minister], here representing the Prime Minister and the members of the federal government. In a special way I bring the greetings of Pope Francis to His Majesty Sultan Muhammad V, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong XV. The building we dedicate today has been made possible by the support of the Bishops' Conference and of all those who are convinced of the importance and significance of establishing a permanent site of the Apostolic Nunciature in Malaysia. To all I express His Holiness's heartfelt gratitude.
In this structure, which symbolizes the friendly ties between Malaysia and the Holy See, I would like to offer some brief reflections on the importance of that relationship. The new Nunciature is a sign of the Holy See's international mission and its solicitude for the Catholic community in this nation, as well as for the good of all the Malaysian people. Our meeting reminds us of the importance of both diplomatic relations and religious values for building harmony and peace within the human family.
The Church's activity in the international community is inspired by the Gospel precept that calls us to love God and neighbor. It finds expression in efforts to encourage peace-making through the promotion of dialogue and mutual understanding, respect for the dignity and rights of the human person, and commitment to integral human development and progress. It also includes concern for the proper care of our natural and human habitat, as an essential part of our collective responsibility towards our common home. In this regard, I am pleased that the new Nunciature has been built according to the principles of Malaysia's Green Building Index. It thus represents a modest but real contribution to that integral ecology advocated by Pope Francis in his encyclical Laudato Si'.
An Apostolic Nunciature can be thought of as a kind of conduit. It allows the cares, concerns and needs of the local Churches and communities to be shared with the Pope, and in turn allows his pastoral concern for all parts of the world to find effective expression. As you know, the universal ministry of the Pope is an expression of the Church's solicitude for all humanity. Her contribution ranges from practical concern for the poor, to aid in healthcare and education, and to the cultural, intellectual and spiritual enrichment of society. While respecting the variety of competences found within the social, cultural and economic spheres, the Church seeks to offer insights and values helpful in promoting liberty, justice and peace within the family of nations.
This inauguration ceremony reminds us that physical structures and legal frameworks are important and necessary components in the work of diplomacy. Yet its foundation stones are individual persons, each endowed with specific and complementary qualities and gifts that contribute to the delicate art of peace-building and the promotion of the common good. Malaysia's involvement in the ASEAN organization, for example, and the Holy See's assistance in the area of mediation between nations, depend on the contribution of committed diplomats.
In this regard, I would like to acknowledge the work of Archbishop Joseph Marino, the first Apostolic Nuncio to Malaysia, as well as his dedicated staff. I think too of His Excellency Bernard Giluk Dompok, Malaysia's first resident Ambassador to the Holy See, who played an important role in the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2011 – the year that saw the significant visit of the Prime Minister to His Holiness Benedict XVI.
The Holy See regards with respect the richly diverse religious and cultural heritage of the Malaysian people. As in other countries with multi-cultural communities, such diversity – rather than an obstacle to solidarity – can be a positive stimulus to greater dialogue and mutual understanding. Malaysia's Federal Constitution, while expressing the importance of Islam to national identity, has enshrined the values of equality and freedom of religion. These fundamental human rights are vital building blocks for ensuring harmony and friendship between people of different customs and traditions.
Harmony, unity and solidarity are built up by practical steps and signs of good will. As Pope Francis often emphasizes, love has no boundaries, and all concrete acts to support others actively, help to remove barriers that divide people, forge bridges of social harmony, and sow seeds of concord within and between communities. An essential role in this process is played by education. The Church's commitment to the education of the young serves not only the local Catholic community, but also represents a contribution to the wider good of Malaysian society. A sound education will encourage that culture of encounter that privileges dialogue, mutual understanding and solidarity as the way to peace.
The inauguration of this new Nunciature, and the desire of Malaysia and the Holy See to deepen the friendly ties we enjoy, are signs of our shared goal: to construct a more fraternal world where concord, justice and peace can flourish.
It is an honor for me to be present at this auspicious moment in relations between Malaysia and the Holy See and to renew the prayerful good wishes of Pope Francis that all will find here, in "Peter's house", a friendly welcome and words of encouragement. I entrust this building, and all who carry out their service within it, to the care and protection of the Almighty.

Q: simple calculator app, presents SIGABRT error when I add new button I'm new to Objective-C programminga nd X-Code so please bear with me. I copied code from a book about objective C to make a calculator class and it's working wonders. Then it asked me as part of the exercises to add a convert button to convert a fraction to a double and print it. The thing is that when I press the convert button, the app stops and I get a message saying that the program received a SIGABRT signal.
Here is the button code:
-(IBAction)clickConvert //convert method
{
if ( [myCalculator accumulator] != 0 ){
    displayString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%e", [myCalculator convertResult]];

    display.text = displayString;

    [displayString setString:@""];
}}

The convertResult code:
 -(double) convertResult
{
double convertedFraction;
convertedFraction = [accumulator convertToNum];

return convertedFraction;
}

(accumulator is a Fraction object that contains the value of the mathematical operation done on the 2 operands)
and the ConverToNum function:
 -(double) convertToNum
{
if (denominator != 0)
    return (double) numerator/denominator;
else
    return NAN;
 }

everything else in teh app works fine, so it must be a problem with what I've done......can anyone help? I've been searching online all day, but I read completely different stuff about this SIGABRT error. Thank you for your help

A: If displayString is an NSString, then there is no setString setter.  Just assign the string to displayString.
Instead of
[displayString setString:@""]

do:
displayString = @"";

Edit:
You say that displayString is an NSMutableString.  In that case, your first assignment to displayString:
displayString = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%e", [myCalculator convertResult]];

assigns an immutable object to the displayString pointer.  I don't know why the compiler isn't complaining about that.  Then when you try to call setString on displayString, the actual type of the object is NSString even though you have declared the pointer to be an NSMutableString.  To fix this, try:
displayString = [[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%e", [myCalculator convertResult]] mutableCopy];

or:
[displayString setString:[NSString stringWithFormat: @"%e", [myCalculator convertResult]]];

or:
displayString = [NSMutableString stringWithFormat: @"%e", [myCalculator convertResult]];

When the government moved the army decisively against the LTTE in July 2006, it did the right thing, and there was no other viable alternative left. The peace process since February 2002 was not working and the LTTE was making a mockery of the peace effort by amassing arms and ammunition and blatantly violating the ceasefire agreement (CFA).

Concrete formwork uses support structures and molds for making concrete constructions that are molded into molds. There are several types of formwork used in the construction, which usually vary depending on the requirements of the construction and the challenges. The formwork is used in making molds from wood, aluminum, steel or preformed forms into which the concrete is poured. This is then cured, cleansed, or, if retained, it is left as a member of the layout. The formwork enables the contractors to cast and assemble the major parts of the construction that are needed to be strong and support the construction such as floors and walls, with smaller parts of the construction such as stairs relatively fast.
There are different types of auxiliary building materials, such as concrete coatings used in construction. A good importer and building materials supplier knows the importance of these kinds of materials. The classic wooden formwork uses wood and chipboard to form the fixing mold. This method is more economical than other methods, but somewhat less successful because wood is not as strong as steel or metal. However, on complicated segments of buildings requiring great attention to detail, woodworking is still widely used. Designed systems of formwork use prefabricated molds made of metal frame, usually aluminum or steel. The projected formwork is cheaper and faster for use than conventional formwork. Frames are incredibly strong and rarely require replacement, reducing costs.
Thanks to the design of the formwork, their structure is faster and requires less labor, which again saves money. Simple structures can be built with usable plastic molding systems, which consist of strong, lightweight, interconnected systems. Brick is usually used for supporting parts of the structure. This form of formwork consists of insulating cement forms that are filled with reinforced cement and once placed, left in the container. In the formwork of the concrete, concrete is used for pouring into the formwork methods for making structures or their parts. Concrete is made of cement blended with some other substances and in combination with water in the mixture.
After addition of water, this mixture is subjected to hydration, which is the reaction between this cement and water, which leads to the hard cement material that is then used for the structure. When cement is mixed, this success and quality of this cement in structures is known as workability. Concrete can be made on different attributes depending on the amount of water, type of water, shape, how long this cement is hydrating, and the amount and type of cement contained in this mixture. The quality of this cement is reduced if too much water is involved, which causes this cement to be different from other substances that make up the concrete mixture.
