Q: Convert hex string to bytearray and write to file I wrote one app using C# to read data from a serial port and show the data on a textbox in hex string format. Finally, I saved all data to a binary file. If data is big (maybe > 20mb) it throws an out of memory error. How can I solve this? Here is my code:
private void btn_Save_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    SaveFileDialog save_log = new SaveFileDialog();
    save_log.DefaultExt = ".bin";
    save_log.Filter = "Binary File (*.bin)|*.bin";
    // Determine if the user selected a file name from the saveFileDialog.
    if (save_log.ShowDialog() == System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK &&
        save_log.FileName.Length > 0)
    {
        try
        {
            string hexString = Content.Text.ToString();
            FileStream stream = new FileStream(save_log.FileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
            stream.Write(Hex_to_ByteArray(hexString), 0, Hex_to_ByteArray(hexString).Length);
            stream.Close();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
        }
    }
}

private byte[] Hex_to_ByteArray(string s)
{
    s = s.Replace(" ", "");
    byte[] buffer = new byte[s.Length / 2];
    for (int i = 0; i < s.Length; i += 2)
    {
        buffer[i / 2] = (byte)Convert.ToByte(s.Substring(i, 2), 16);
    }
    return buffer;
}

A: You're creating the byte array twice. Also, the .Replace over such a long string doesn't help. You can avoid all this:
try
{
    var stream = new FileStream(
        save_log.FileName,
        FileMode.Create,
        FileAccess.ReadWrite);

    WriteHexStringToFile(Content.Text, stream);

    stream.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
}

private void WriteHexStringToFile(string hexString, FileStream stream)
{
    var twoCharacterBuffer = new StringBuilder();
    var oneByte = new byte[1];
    foreach (var character in hexString.Where(c => c != ' '))
    {
        twoCharacterBuffer.Append(character);

        if (twoCharacterBuffer.Length == 2)
        {
            oneByte[0] = (byte)Convert.ToByte(twoCharacterBuffer.ToString(), 16);
            stream.Write(oneByte, 0, 1);
            twoCharacterBuffer.Clear();
        }
    }
}

Also, take a look at Encoding and/or BinaryFormatter which might do all of this for you.
Update:
First of all, please note that your whole idea of storing megabytes of data in a string is a nonsense, and you shouldn't do that. You should process your data in smaller parts. Because of this nonsense I'm unable to provide you with a working demo (on IDEONE for example), because of resource limitations of online compilers. I've tested the code on my machine, and as you can see I can even process 50 MB strings - but it all depends on the amount of memory you have available. If you do such things, then on every machine it will be easy to reach the limit of available memory. And the methods you ask about in this particular question are irrelevant - the problem is because you fill your memory with tons of data in your Content.Text string. When memory is almost full, the OutOfMemoryException can occur at almost any place in your code.
You can view the whole picture in your browser to see all the details.

A: Use IEnumerable.  That will avoid the large byte array.
I don't know what is in Content.Text.  If it's a byte array, maybe you can change
static internal IEnumerable<byte>Hex_to_Byte(string s)

into
static internal IEnumerable<byte>Hex_to_Byte(byte[] bytes)

and modify the code a bit
FileStream stream = new FileStream(save_log.FileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
foreach( byte b in Hex_to_Byte(hexString) )
    stream.WriteByte(b);
stream.Close();

    static internal IEnumerable<byte>Hex_to_Byte(string s)
    {
        bool haveFirstByte = false;
        int firstByteValue = 0;

        foreach( char c in s)
        {
            if( char.IsWhiteSpace(c))
                continue;

            if( !haveFirstByte)
            {
                haveFirstByte = true;
                firstByteValue = GetHexValue(c) << 4;
            }
            else
            {
                haveFirstByte = false;
                yield return unchecked((byte)(firstByteValue + GetHexValue(c)));
            }

        }

    }
    static string hexChars = "0123456789ABCDEF";
    static int GetHexValue(char c)
    {
        int v = hexChars.IndexOf(char.ToUpper(c));
        if (v < 0)
            throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("c", string.Format("not a hex char: {0}"));
        return v;
    }

From the Rebbetzin's Desk
Teaching / Seminaries
Thoughts with Jewish Insight
From the Rebbitzen's Desk
Want to keep yourself really alive? Follow these examples...
It has been so long since we were in touch. It's only a little over a week, but so much has happened.
Rav Sheinman ztl isn't with us. In spite of his advanced age, he was until very recently very much part of live here in Eretz Yisrael. At the age of 100, he was still involved in establishing new kollels. I was somewhat skeptical (not too shocking for those of you who know me…). I thought that perhaps it meant allowing the administration to use his name. I asked my son what his participation actually entailed. It meant that he chose the staff, took responsibility for the funding, and until very recently came to deliver lectures and words of encouragement and/or mussar, usually on a weekly basis.
My vicarious connection to him came through my son Chaim. He volunteers in an organization called Lev L'Achim, which means giving your Heart to your Brothers. It reaches out to various populations. The entire country is divided into districts (under the general supervision of Rabbi Sorotzkin). Chaim's district is Ramel-Lud. It is one of the lowest socio-economic districts in all of Israel. He reaches out to street kids (just as an aside, the Lud bus station is the country's wholesale drug capital). That means organizing the kind of classes that they will want to attend-there has to be food, fun, and content. They often straighten out, marry, and have kids who go to Torani schools, and break the cycle of ignorance, spiritual apathy, poverty and crime that began when their grandparents arrived in Israel close to 70 years ago. It also meant a monthly meeting with Rav Shteinman, who would listen to the month's events and add new insights and new goals. And yes, new demands.
"What about the women?" "What about the guys who got married before they learned enough to live Torah lives?" "What about all of the parenting and educational issues that are going to come up when young people who never had real examples of parenting raise their own kids". There was follow up. "Would one on one work better with the women?" "Call it a kollel! Their learning is valuable". "Shiurim on parenting and chinuch aren't enough. Who can they reach by phone?" Chaim brought his "kids" to meet the Gadol. They were always received with the greatest warmth and affection. Some of the kids broke out of the cycle beyond anyone's wildest expectations. They went on to real yeshivos, and one of them actually came back to the Chanukah party (the year's biggest bash) to make a siyum HaShas.
Rav Shteinman was also the address for more standard families who found that they had a child who needed a new framework. In fact, he forbade the yeshivos to expel a child (no matter how much of a misfit the child and the school actually were) until another school was found.
Just about two months ago, when my sem. visited Bnei Brak we met the Rav's daughter, Rebbitzen Berlin (who passed away just a few weeks after we visited). She was light hearted, charming, greeted each girl with a warm handshake and told us about what growing up in her father's house was like. They had very little materially, but they always felt rich. Part of the reason was that their mother was an expert in turning clothes that had seen better days into fashion items, but still more was due to the feeling of love and tranquility that turned their lifestyle into a choice for more, rather than a life in which having was more important than being. I was in the States when Rav Shteiman passed away. Ironically, I was on my way to Las Vegas…..
I never actually made it to Vegas. I made the mistake of booking my ticket via Spirit Air. I knew that something was wrong as soon as I told Chaya Ertal, the woman who drove me to the airport from La Jolla, asked which airline I was on. Her expression when I said Spirit said it all. In case I didn't catch on, she said, "Oh, it will probably be alright" in the kind of tone you usually hear outside of the O.R. in an emergency room. She wisely waited until I checked in and even when she left she kept her phone on. It was only after several hours that the pilot announced that there was a problem with the starter (planes have starters?) and that at some point the mechanic should come. I wasn't able to get a booking on any flight that would get me to Los Vegas before Shabbos, so I called Chaya who not only came to the airport Friday afternoon when she had a house full of guests for Shabbos, but she also arranged a new flight for me for motzei Shabbos since I wouldn't be leaving from Vegas.
You may reasonably wonder why I am telling you this story. Most of you have your own airport/airline tales. The real reason (other than it being cathartic) is that it occurred to me when reflecting on Rav Shteinman, how unappreciative we are to the great people who surround us. Some of them are famous, but many of them are not. Chaya Ertal isn't well known, but she is the real deal.
The next to last day of Chanukah, I gave my sem girls a treat. We were originally supposed to go to Shmuel HaNavi's tomb. Thank G-d the Arabs departed from their usual level of rioting and violence when things don't go their way. We didn't know how they would respond to Trump's announcing that he would move the embassy, and later his "shocking" statement that the Kotel is not only part of Jerusalem, but that it will never be given away by the Jewish people. We decided to stay close to home for the next couple of days.
Instead of Shmuel HaNavi, we visited Rebbitzen Sarah Finkel, Rav Nosson Tzvi Finkel's ztl mother. What a personality. She came to America as an infant, and was raised in St. Louis (this is over 95 years ago). Her parents moved there so that her father could work as a shochet (shomer Shabbos jobs were hard to come by), and you took what you could get wherever it brought you. Although girls didn't go to after school "cheder", she did. She later married her husband, who had studied in some of the world's greatest yeshivos (he had simchah from Chevron). Life in the States couldn't have been easy for him either. They still managed to bring up their children with an amazing and committed level of love of Torah. My students asked her how she pulled this off. They key was not only love, but also acceptance. Not only being a good role model, but also absolute honesty with the kids. Although she and her husband had a successful catering business, they knew the art of being materially successful without turning into materialists. She is ambitious. I met her years ago when she was an avid shiur goer. She paints, writes cook books, and receives guests with charm and dignity. Our visit ended with many of the girls buying her cookbook, prints of her portrait of her son, and getting her brachah for their futures. It's worth noticing this sort of person if you want to keep yourself really alive.
I have my sem's Chanukah party and Sarah Hemley's (Neve about 8 years ago) wedding, so this will be it for now.

Mr. Gilmore
With all of the talk of race, I've been thinking a lot about my experience growing up in San Jose, California, back when San Jose was known for orchards instead of silicon and software.
San Jose, when it still had orchards
Most of San Jose, and certainly the part I grew up in, was pretty white. The east side of town was where the "Mexicans" lived. North of downtown was a section called Japantown that had managed to reform after the relocations during WWII. All of the gardeners and nurserymen in town were Japanese. There were a few Chinese and very, very few black people. The blacks were up in Oakland, San Francisco, Richmond, not Santa Clara Valley. Later, when I first bought a house in Santa Clara Valley I saw that the deed had a clause (no longer enforceable by then) prohibiting sale to blacks. My parents had of course inherited some racial attitudes, but there weren't many occasions for them to pass them strongly on to me. I only saw black people occasionally on TV, and until the Civil Rights Movement, it would probably be someone like Louis Armstrong on a variety show. I remember once we were driving not far from our house in the family car with the dog and there was a black man walking down the street. We were all surprised, and probably stared at him. I don't think I had seen a black man outside of TV before that. The dog went crazy barking at him, probably because she had ever seen anyone that looked like that before.
The first black man I ever actually met in person was a middle school music teacher. A friend played the cello and I thought maybe I wanted to as well, so Mr. Gilmore tried to show me how, putting little stars on the fingerboard for the notes I had learned. Later in 8th grade, Mr. Gilmore was my homeroom teacher for long enough to be recorded in this picture of me with my 8th-grade class.
Mr. Gilmore with my 8th-grade class
I didn't think all that much about it at the time because I was just a middle-schooler. But much later reflecting on it, what an unusual experience that was to have, the first black man I met was a gentle authority figure who was fond of classical music. It may have helped keep me from being overly susceptible to the negative stereotypes the culture imposed. I would love to be able to say that Mr. Gilmore was my favorite teacher and we got on famously, but it wasn't like that. He was fine, he was just another teacher, I was just another of his students.
As the years have gone by it has dawned on me more and more what an experience that must have been for Mr. Gilmore, the only black teacher in an all-white school in an all-white suburban neighborhood. It was so easy for me, it could not have been easy for him. I feel bad that I never found out his story.
Pixar's next film, originally slated for June 19th was delayed due to Covid-19
I work for Pixar Animation Studios and Pixar's next film is called Soul. It's already finished and just waiting for its release date. The main character of Soul is a black middle-school music teacher. I just can't stop thinking of the connection. I don't know if Mr. Gilmore is still alive. He'd probably be in his 80's if he is. I so much want to talk to him. I want to thank him. I want to ask him what it was like for him, if he would be willing to tell me.
I want to take him or give him tickets to see Soul. If he has kids or grandkids, take them to see Soul. These days, I live very near that school I went to, and a neighbor works for the same school district. I'm going to see if I can track down any information about Mr. GIlmore through the school or the district. I hope
I can find some trace of him.

This book explores an approach to social robotics based solely on autonomous unsupervised techniques and positions it within a structured exposition of related research in psychology, neuroscience, HRI, and data mining. The authors present an autonomous and developmental approach that allows the robot to learn interactive behavior by imitating humans using algorithms from time-series analysis and machine learning.
The first part provides a comprehensive and structured introduction to time-series analysis, change point discovery, motif discovery and causality analysis focusing on possible applicability to HRI problems. Detailed explanations of all the algorithms involved are provided with open-source implementations in MATLAB enabling the reader to experiment with them. Imitation and simulation are the key technologies used to attain social behavior autonomously in the proposed approach. Part two gives the reader a wide overview of research in these areas in psychology, and ethology. Based on this background, the authors discuss approaches to endow robots with the ability to autonomously learn how to be social.
Data Mining for Social Robots will be essential reading for graduate students and practitioners interested in social and developmental robotics.


LOS ANGELES (AP) - Model Keri Claussen Khalighi has come forward to accuse Def Jam Records mogul Russell Simmons of sexual misconduct in 1991 when she was 17 years old.

Q: Count immediate child div elements using jQuery I have the following HTML node structure:

How do I count the number of immediate children of foo, that are of type div? In the example above, the result should be two (bar and baz).

A: In response to mrCoders answer using jsperf why not just use the dom node ?
var $foo = $('#foo');
var count = $foo[0].childElementCount

You can try the test here: http://jsperf.com/jquery-child-ele-size/7
This method gets 46,095 op/s while the other methods at best 2000 op/s

A: I recommend using $('#foo').children().size() for better performance.
I've created a jsperf test to see the speed difference and the children() method beaten the child selector (#foo > div) approach by at least 60% in Chrome (canary build v15) 20-30% in Firefox (v4).
By the way, needless to say, these two approaches produce same results (in this case, 1000).
[Update] I've updated the test to include the size() vs length test, and they doesn't make much difference (result: length usage is slightly faster (2%) than size())
[Update] Due to the incorrect markup seen in the OP (before 'markup validated' update by me), both $("#foo > div").length & $('#foo').children().length resulted the same (jsfiddle). But for correct answer to get ONLY 'div' children, one SHOULD use child selector for correct & better performance

A: $('#foo > div').size()

A: $("#foo > div").length

jQuery has a .size() function which will return the number of times that an element appears but, as specified in the jQuery documentation, it is slower and returns the same value as the .length property so it is best to simply use the .length property.
From here: http://www.electrictoolbox.com/get-total-number-matched-elements-jquery/

A: var divss = 0;
$(function(){
   $("#foo div").each(function(){
    divss++;

   });
   console.log(divss);
});

A: With the most recent version of jquery, you can use $("#superpics div").children().length.

A: $("#foo > div").length

Direct children of the element with the id 'foo' which are divs. Then retrieving the size of the wrapped set produced.

A: $("#foo > div")

selects all divs that are immediate descendants of #foo
once you have the set of children you can either use the size function:
$("#foo > div").size()

or you can use
$("#foo > div").length

Both will return you the same result

A: var n_numTabs = $("#superpics div").size();

or
var n_numTabs = $("#superpics div").length;

As was already said, both return the same result.
But the size() function is more jQuery "P.C".
I had a similar problem with my page.
For now on, just omit the > and it should work fine.

A: $('#foo').children('div').length

A: $("div", "#superpics").size();

A: Try this for immediate child elements of type div
$("#foo > div")[0].children.length

How can it be 14 years?
Every year on this anniversary I struggle with how to honor her memory. Nothing prepares you for this. But this year I am grateful to DZ Restaurants. On Sunday, May 18th, Boca Bistro in Saratoga will donate 30% of your check to the Catie Hoch Foundation. All you have to do is hand in the flyer.
Catie very much wanted other kids to have as much fun as she did during treatment. So if you decide to go to Boca Bistro, please know that you are honoring the memory of a little girl who got the most out of life. And with your support, we will be able to help other kids take a break from cancer.
To those of you who read my blog, thank you for the support and caring you have given me over the years. And to those who will help me honor Catie on Sunday, I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I want to compliment you on the photos. I'm a reader but I am also a visual learner. As a cookbook collector, I am constantly complaining about and will not buy a cook book that is all talk and few pictures. I want to SEE the finished dish and the ingredients please . Good job.
Wow, thank you Paula!! I have sooooo much to learn when it comes to food photography, so hopefully the photos will look better and better the more practice I get. I also like seeing lots of photos on blogs or cookbooks, so I make sure to have several for each post, especially for posts about baking.
Hey there! Thought I would come over and have a peek at your blog! YUM! This looks DELICIOUS! My grocery store sells the end pieces in a separate box and it is about 1/2 the price of the lowest price bacon. What a BARGAIN! Anyway, I can't wait to try this dish. Thanks for sharing!
Hey there Wendi!! Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad to know you have the inside scoop on on those beautiful little end pieces. I don't know why I have never seen them in my stores, maybe I've overlooked them because I didn't know what they were. People would be chomping at the bit to buy it if they knew how good it was, and then the price would go waaay up.

Anonymous angered by Documentary maker.
Some symbols are just more important than others, they have a meaning that is recognized world wide.
One of these easily identifiable symbols is the Guy Fawkes mask used by Anonymous hacktivists both to conceal their identities and to inspire curiosity and respect from outsiders. This symbol is borrowed, changed and used in various ways and the hackers of Anonymous are generally not concerned, but one usage of the mask in particular has Anonymous members angry and outraged.
Travis Doering, a Canadian producer and casting agent based in Vancouver, has angered Anonymous in part through his association with a movie called "Hacked: Illusion of Security". The picture associated with the movie on imdb features a Guy Fawkes mask, but Travis himself seems to have no love for the global hacking collective.
In an interview with the Vancouver Observer to promote his the current project, a TV show called "Hacked" in April of 2012, Travis gave some insight into his "association" with Anonymous:
"I then began working with a penetration tester who I met in the IRC and using what we learned from the Anonymous IRC channel we warned potential targets and offered our services to fix vulnerabilities that Anonymous had discovered."
So while Travis implies to some that he was a member of Anonymous it seems that he was in fact spying on the participants of their chat (an act that would make one a "snitch" in hacker circles) and informing companies that they were being hacked. It is unclear whether Travis made money by engaging in this behavior, but what is certain is that it is much easier for administrators to detect and identify hackers if they have forewarning of attacks, it is unknown whether any arrests resulted from Doering's action, but it is a distinct possibility.
Anonymous responded to these previously unnoticed connections by publishing a paste which outlined their grievances with the producer, who responded on Twitter from his account @hackfilm to say that he believed he was morally justified in his dealings with Anonymous.
Since 2012 Travis has consulted on hacking for popular Canadian time travel Sci-Fi series Continuum, the James Bond movie Skyfall and has worked on a number of other projects including a planned documentary about whistleblower Edward Snowden that has since been cancelled. It could be said to be ironic given Travis' history with Anonymous that he chose a man who is facing prison for breaking security and taking data to make a documentary about.
Perhaps hacker culture anthropologist Gabriella Coleman summed up the humorousness of the situation best on twitter when she wryly observed that perhaps "what someone needs to do is make a movie on this white hat doing a film on blackhat hacktivists".

LOL @ people who call Anonymous "hackers."
Gary Arnold Fowler February 21, 2014 At 9:58 pm
"Anonymous" can be anybody and everybody, from any and all walks of life. We each have our own beliefs and talents. I myself work strictly with hardware, networking, and security. Others are white hat, grey hat, or black hat hackers/programmers, or a combination thereof, dependent upon given applications.

I believe that all government is corrupt to the core, and serves no
Marx would disagree on the capitalism part, and his predictions have all come true. Hell, a governing body (geverment) is the only thing keeping capitalism in check (when it's not corrupted by corporations), not a free market or whatever you would conceive in such a role in an "anarcho-capitalist society".

Anonymous has turned into nothing but a money scam. It's Occupy people running one WePay after another that disappear after they get to a certain amount. They're even asking you to give them Bitcoins. But they hate capitalism. Such hypocrites. If you give them a dime you're stupid. And that "rescue the dogs" Fund they've got going? That's a scam too. They don&#
Anonymous sits around doxing people all day but think they should have the right to be anonymous. What a joke! And take your Marxism and shove it.

Why become a PRCA rodeo?
Producing a successful rodeo requires dedication, long hours and hard work by local committee members, and a commitment from the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association in Colorado Springs, Colo., to provide the necessary assistance.
Committee members know their communities and understand what is needed to attract local spectators. From establishing lucrative purses and acquiring top stock, which in turn usually draws the best cowboys, to building publicity and working with the media, the PRCA knows the best methods of producing a successful rodeo.
The PRCA staff works year-round to provide services vital to the success of any rodeo, including a central entry system, rodeo administration, professional judging, media relations assistance, sponsor information, and points/membership services. Operating under its current administrative model, which took effect in 1988, the PRCA sanctions approximately 650 rodeos annually in the United States and Canada.
A PRCA membership consisting of contestants, stock contractors, contract personnel and rodeo committees elects representatives to executive councils. PRCA directors representing the various member-groups are chosen by the elected executive council members. Rodeo committees are represented on the board of directors by two members chosen by the five-person rodeo committee executive council.
The PRCA has approximately 9,000 members and sanctions rodeos in 39 states and four Canadian provinces. Total prize money offered by PRCA rodeos surpassed $35 million in 2005, and total attendance was estimated at more than 24 million. Now, more than ever, television is playing a larger role in attracting new viewers, while retaining and entertaining long-time fans.
With support from the PRCA, committee members know they will attract the best athletes and toughest stock, provide the largest purses possible and present the most professional productions, backed by a uniform judging system.

Manon Fontaine, from arts to wildlife conservation
After a long and successful career in arts design, Manon Fontaine changed the brushes and the puppets to binoculars and animals' tags. Keep reading if you want to know why and how an artist in her 40s managed to turned into an international all-round wildlife conservationist.
Who is Manon Fontaine?
I am a very curious, optimistic, and a keen learner. Nature and outdoor life are a big part of who I am, as I grew up in a remote area of Canada. I also love diving because I am fascinated by the greatness and the beauty of the ocean.
When did you start diving?
In the Philippines in 2005. I was completing my MA in museology (the study of museums), and I decided to travel with my partner around South Korea in the winter for few months. My partner needed beach time in the Philippines before flying back, so I began with the Open Water diving course (starting course). Diving had always fascinated me, but I had never tried it before since I generally took time off for hiking. From that moment, I just fell in love with diving.
Why do you work in conservation?
I love conservation because it involves working outside. I especially enjoy the direct contact with nature, wildlife and the physical field work. I like hiking in remote areas, traveling at sea, and working to protect environment and wildlife.
What were you working on before switching to conservation?
In my first career, I worked for about 20 years in theatre and the movie industry as a scenic artist, designing and constructing puppets, props, costumes, and sets. At some point, I developed some occupational health issues and I decided it was time to change. I am a lifelong learner and never stopped studying, so the decision to go back to school in a nature related program was quickly taken.
How did you manage to make that change?
First, I focused on what I really wanted to do. I like working outside in direct contact with nature, and even if it may look like as a drastic change, over the years I have never stopped studying the subjects that interested me. It slowly built up a clearer view of my new goals, and once I discovered the type of work I specifically wanted to do, I followed the appropriate steps.
I did not want to go back to university to get an office job but I wanted to become a field technician. I decided to study renewable resource management and conservation in the Yukon (Canada), where I started working in the field.
Up north, fieldwork is seasonal, so during the off-season I continued my training, updated my certifications and started volunteering for international conservation projects. It gave me a lot of hands-on experience with a wider variety of terrain and species.
What were the main difficulties you encountered and how did you overcome them?
It was quite hard to get the first working contract. I was a newly-trained technician trying to get hired in a physically challenging domain in a northern and remote part of the world. I had to be self-confident, well trained, very competent and keep very fit. I had all the required certifications and a great sense of humour, which always help.
What was your first paid job in conservation?
My first paid job was as a student co-manager of a conservation hatchery. We were working together with a local First Nation to restore a population of Chinook Salmon in one of the Yukon River tributaries. This position was supervised by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), which helped me to gain enough experience to apply and get hired as a DFO aquatic science technician.
I worked in that position with 4 species of adult Pacific Salmon returning to the Taku River, a transboundary river flowing from Northern Canada through Alaska. During those years I participated in a long-term mark and recapture program, doing surveys, monitoring (ex. size, age, weight, etc.), opening/closing camp, driving jet boats, maintaining equipment, vehicles, etc. Overall, things got much easier when people started knowing me and I was getting valuable field experience.
Where in conservation have you worked during these years?
As I came out of the Renewable Resource Management program, I worked in the Yukon and Alaska. I had my first international volunteering experience in wildlife conservation in Costa Rica, collaborating on two projects: the first one involved working with adult turtles to record their biometrics and remove parasites; in the second one, we worked on birds and wild cats. A year later, I volunteered on a PhD project in the Sonoran Desert (Arizona) gathering information on wildlife (burrows, tracking, scat).
I participated in a few scientific diving projects, which allowed me to get numerous training and certifications. In Mexico, I monitored juvenile fish and lionfish; in the Philippines, I surveyed seagrass and fish while doing my dive master, and in Indonesia I studied marine science and was trained as an eco-diver.
Later, I also studied ornithology in college, but it took many years before being able to work with birds. My first bird-related contract was in the Yukon, followed by two different PhD projects, one in Argentina near LaPlata (flickers and song birds), and the second one in the Bohai Bay area in China, surveying shorebirds.
For the past few years, I have mostly been living on the southern West Coast of Canada in British Columbia, where I have been working at sea or underwater. I was recently certified as an Occupational Diver and an at-sea fisheries observer. I am presently looking to volunteer in diving and bird projects.
Are most of these jobs or internships paid?
Most of the experiences abroad are not paid, though they usually cover lodging, food, training and sometimes transportation. The work I do in Canada is paid.
Which kind of jobs and main tasks have you performed?
Identifying, counting, measuring and recording data of birds, fish and wildlife.
Monitoring environmental data in the field
Writing reports, preparing protocols and liaising with governmental agencies, local First Nations and conservation organisations.
Performing scientific outreach, building up partnership, and networking are also important aspects of my work.
Now, I am seeking for new jobs. My last job was as a Scuba Claus on Christmas, in which I was diving in the Georgia Straight Exhibit of the Vancouver Aquarium. One of the main tasks was to introduce the local marine life to children.
Which jobs are you planning to apply for now?
I already started applying for commercial diving and wildlife technician-related jobs. However, I would like to find a position that would be at least 80% on the field, in contact with, wildlife, and a combination of land, underwater, and at sea work.
What are the best and the worst parts of your job?
The best part of my work is to be outside in direct contact with animals and like-minded optimistic people. The worst part would be the politics, budget cuts, and short-term vision.
Which key steps have you taken to be successful in your conservation career?
When opportunities arise, I just go for it. I do what I love to do, and I am really involved in what I am doing when I am doing it. I believe everyone must find their motivation and passion. I also try to look at both, the big picture and the smaller details to better understand the issue and what I can do.
What recommendations would you give to someone who aims to switch from a different professional path to work in conservation?
I think the main thing is to find what your personal best way is. For example, as a lifelong learner, I love being trained, trying new things, and reading scientific papers.
So, for me enrolling into a program with hands on training and fieldwork volunteering are just my way to go. Find what you are passionate about, be curious, get informed, and always keep on learning. If you see a position you are interested in, look at the prerequisites, see what is missing for you and find the way to get the right training and experience.
As a 51-year-old occupational diver and fish and wildlife field technician, I know I have to be very fit (I run, do strength training, Qi Gong etc.), up to date with all of my training and certifications (SVOP, First Aid, Swift water Rescue, Diving…), and expand my expertise. So next I want to learn more about marine mammals and get the proper training to do surveys.
Do you now feel more confident to start and pursue your career switch into wildlife conservation? If that is the case, visit Manon's LinkedIn profile where you can directly contact her for some feedback and advice. Also, do not forget to explore the Conservation Careers website, especially jobs for careers switchers. Your wildlife dream job might be a click of distance from this blog.

I decided to show you all what inspires me to lose weight.

Q: Server.mappath (NOT) and domain folder outside the webspace It is possible to connect to a MS-Access mdb that is sitting outside of IIS on a regular domain folder? We have a company-wide share (S:) and am trying to do a quick a dirty connection to an mdb in a folder there. like this:
Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
odbcName = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & server.mappath("S:/share/Workspaces/IntranetData/Departments/IT/public_datasignatures.mdb") & ";"
conn.mode=3
conn.open odbcName,"",""

what would I use instead of server.mappath for physical locations?
Thanks for any help,
JM

A: You don't need Server.MapPath since you have a full path; but:

*

*I imagine that s: will only be a mapped drive from a user login, not from IIS

*you'll need to reference the full network path, e.g. \servername\share...

*the account that IIS runs under will need network access to that share on the other server

You would be far better served (no pun intended!) importing that .mdb into SQL Server and connecting to it that way.

A: You don't need to map at all, since you already know the exact location, so:
odbcName = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=S:/share/Workspaces/IntranetData/Departments/IT/public_datasignatures.mdb;"


Courtney Cox before and after plastic surgery, botox.
Just a few years ago there began to start a whisper about Courtney Cox and the way her appearance started to change, most noticeably the tightening of her face and disappearance of wrinkles.
Naturally everyone thought plastic surgery was the culprit and once those rumors began to hit the fan, Courtney Cox came clean in an interview with Marie Claire magazine.
"Botox? I think it's fantastic and also horrible. I mean, they've come up with this stuff that can make you not look angry. But you have to use it sparingly…"
"I went to this doctor once and he was like, 'Oh, let me do it just here and here and here.' And I was miserable. I mean, I'm an actor, I've got to be able to move my face…"
"When people start messing with their foreheads and can't lift their eyebrows, that's weird. It's not that I haven't tried Botox – but I hated it."
Courtney Cox makes it sound like she's done with getting botox injections, however from the looks of her current photos i would guess that she still makes regular visits to the doctor.
And then came the rumors of Courtney Cox and breast implants, so stay tuned.
sorry but all your pics show me ,is a woman without any makeup & one who is made up for an outing on the town. most women do look different without our war paint.
Of course most people look different without makeup- but you can clearly see that she has had plastic surgery- and there's nothing wrong with that, everybody does it. You can tell by how smooth her skin is, and her lips, especially.
Cortney is gross either way. Not attractive at all.

by the way, The Layla album was written and recorded after Bobby Whitlock and the other guys had finished working on George Harrison's album. An interesting side note about Bobby talking about Bell Bottom Blues:
Whitlock did not get a songwriting credit for this, but has no hard feelings: "That's part of the ego thing. Had I been credited on 'Bell Bottom Blues,' that would have meant I had more songs on the Layla album than Eric. At that time he had a massive ego trip going. In 2000, Eric played with me on a show. We did 'Bell Bottom Blues' and a couple of other songs. We actually played with all the other bands that night; Giants is the DVD that's out of that show. I didn't say anything to anyone about me having written 'Bell Bottom Blues,' I think it's just something everybody knows.
and some more stuff you don't care about:
Memphian Bobby Whitlock was an integral and important member of Derek and the Dominoes. Clapton sang this song on the album, but it is Bobby's - I've seen the royalty checks. Bobby also sang on all of the songs in this album - his voice is the soul in the background and his two solo songs on the album are "Thorn tree in a Garden" which is about a lost pet (long story) and "Keep on growin", which was covered by Sheryl Crow for the "Boy's on the Side" soundtrack. If you listen to "Let it Rain", Bobby is the background singer singing along with Eric - Eric met him when Bobby was with Delaney and Bonnie. He also was dating Patti Boyd's sisten when Eric was trying to lure Patti from George Harrison. Check out his website at . When Layla was used in "Goodfella's", it was a big resurface for the song > the piano part at the end is Bobby and Jim Gordon playing head-to-head and it was composed by Bobby.

EO AFRICASpace AcademyOn-line CoursesSoil Moisture from Space
6th EO AFRICA R&D Facility Online Course
Date:March 6 – 31, 2023
DEADLINE FOR APPLICATIONS:February 17, 2023
Introduction to the course
Soil moisture (SM) plays a crucial role in land-atmosphere interaction processes. It determines the partitioning of rainfall between surface runoff, and groundwater recharge in the Water Cycle and the partitioning of incoming solar radiation between latent heat and sensible heat in the Energy Cycle. In water applications, soil moisture information can be used in agricultural monitoring, drought and flood forecasting, forest fire prediction, water supply management, and other natural resource activities for drought and flood monitoring.
Microwave remote sensing is a useful tool for estimating soil moisture over large areas. The aim of this course is to make participants grab the knowledge and estimate soil moisture information by utilizing existing (and future) passive and active microwave observations.
This online course will provide participants with the necessary theoretical and practical knowledge on electromagnetic radiation and its interaction with materials, (passive) radiometry and thermal emission, and (active) radar equation, backscattering and SAR image processing. It will introduce radiative transfer model (also called Tau-omega for passive microwave for land) and water-cloud model (active), as well as corresponding retrievals of soil moisture. The lectures will be combined with hands-on exercises in including soil moisture estimation by using existing satellite EO products (e.g., Sentinel-1 SAR and SMAP radiometry.
Course consists of pre-recorded lectures (presentations with voice-over, selection of webinars and exercised (data and guiding descriptions). MoodleCloud will be used as learning platform including a forum for QandA. Zoom will be used as interactive platform for live-sessions.
The participants need to have basic programming skills in Python.
Having studied the online course on Cloud Computing and Algorithms for EO Analyses would be beneficial. Note: Access to both courses will be given to those selected to attend the Soil Moisture from Space course.
The course will be offered to a maximum of 65 participants. Selection will be based on relevant academic background and employment. We will strive to have a gender-balanced and country-balanced group of participants. Preference is given to candidates working as (Ph.D.-) researchers, post-doc, and university staff. Selection will be made four weeks before the course starts to provide early access to prerequisite online courses on Cloud computing and EO.
The online course will have live introduction and Q&A sessions on: [ All CET-times which is UTC+1 ]
Monday, March 6, 10:00 AM
Friday, March 10, 16:00 PM
You must be a member of EO AFRICA Community to be able to register.

Creating the Distillery
Home » Archive by category "Front Page Box"
Category Archives: Front Page Box
The history of distilling on the Ballindalloch Estate dates back to the early 1820's when a distillery was built at Delnashaugh, above the junction of the rivers Avon and Spey near where the Delnashaugh Hotel stands today.
It was under the stewardship of Sir George Macpherson-Grant, the 3rd Baronet of Ballindalloch, that distilling on the Estate was firmly established. As co-founder of Cragganmore distillery with John Smith in 1869, Sir George was clearly a man for whom distilleries held a special place in his heart.
Sir George also enjoyed a close association with Robert Hay, who built Glenfarclas distillery on the North side of the Estate. His final direct involvement with a new distillery was the building of Speyside Distillery in Kingussie in 1896.
It can very much be said that the building of Ballindalloch Distillery is a return to the industry for the Macpherson-Grant family.

Visiting the Distillery
Sadly at the moment we are not in a position to welcome visitors to the distillery, and expect this to be the position for some time yet. Due to the building size and layout, we are not able to physically comply with even the most limited COVID-19 social distancing requirements. We will of course keep you updated on any changes to this situation through our website and Facebook page.

September 30, 2015 Front Page Box, The Distillery admin
The idea of building a distillery at Ballindalloch began late in the summer of 2011. The old steading was viewed by Estate owners Clare and Oliver Russell as an embarrassment and certainly not representative of Clare's ancestral home. After looking at a number of different ideas, they decided that a distillery would be the perfect solution both for the old steading and for the long term benefit to the Estate. A number of conversations took place with some leading industry figures, together with their sons Guy and Edward, with the decision taken a year later to commit to the project. Plans were then put in place to turn their dream into a reality.
Over the next two years, work was carried out to renovate and fit out the old farm steading next to the Estate's Golf Course from the near derelict state it was in. Working on a building that dates back to the 1820's required attention from a small group of skilled group of craftsmen. From the stonework to the slates on the roof, the woodwork to the interior decoration, the family were committed to the use of local trades wherever possible.
From the very outset, the production of our whisky was always destined to be "hands on". With a clear commitment to tradition, the Single Estate nature of our process allows us to control every aspect of whisky making. From the barley we grow at our Home Farm to draff fed back to cattle across the Estate, we craft our whisky in a way that generations past would have recognised.
The result is a distillery that has a look and an attitude more akin to the traditions so rarely seen today.

With several decades of combined experience, the team at Ballindalloch use their skills to craft the finest spirit with traditional attitudes at heart of all that we do.
Colin Poppy – Distillery Manager
With over 16 years of production experience, based initially at Auchroisk and later moving to Knockando, Colin oversees all aspects of production. From the very first Mash in September 2014, to the selection of casks today, he sets out the building blocks that form the basis and progression of our spirit character.
With a natural ability to embrace the science behind whisky making, Colin has a commitment to producing an outstanding spirit that fits the profile needed for our long term maturation needs.
Davey Norquoy – Distillery Assistant
Davey has been in the whisky industry since the 1980's when he took up the role of Kilnman at Highland Park. He moved onto being a Mashman, then Stillman often spending time covering at Scapa Distillery. David finished his time on Orkney as Warehouse Supervisor for Highland Distillers. Moving to Macallan in 2000, again as Warehouse Supervisor, Davey took the decision in 2017 to return to the hands on nature of whisky production that he first experienced at the beginning of his career.
Ian McMurdo – Distillery Assistant
Ian joined the whisky industry in 2012 as Bottling Team Leader for William Grant and Sons. Over the following 5 years, time was spend at both Strathclyde Business Park and Glenfiddich Distillery overseeing the bottling of a number of their brands. Before joining Ballindalloch, Ian was responsible for overseeing the distilling and bottling at Glen Grant. With a strong engineering background and a desire to be involved in the day to day production of whisky, Ian is now able to apply his skills to a manual production environment.
