Let me know when you find out what happened to the audio for song. In the meantime I just moved it temporarily down the list until you get it playing again so that it doesn't stop the player when it gets to your song - songs that don't play do that.

"With a light and airy falsetto vocal style, Gary Tipping, is standing on the forefront of musical mastery. This independent artist from the United Kingdom is far from elementary when it comes to his music styling.
Gary is a self-taught musician that has natural talent. His guitar and keyboard is the playground in which his esoteric lyrics find a home. This soulful singer has an innate ability to connect with his listener through the leaps and bounds of ballads. With powerful introductions and hearty melodies each song provides an in-depth look through sound into this artist's deepest thoughts. Writing and producing his own music is only a small portion of the talent and genius behind this British phenomenon. His acoustic/folk genre is only a corner of his capabilities.


As a wedding blogger it is easy to get lost in all the beautiful details, those finishing touches that so often give a wedding wow factor and makes me want to publish them on these pages. But occasionally a celebration comes along that reminds me exactly what a wedding is really all about. Something that is quite easy to forget when you're in the midst of choosing colours, menus, dresses, flowers, favours and songs. But that without, a wedding quite simply does not happen: love. And that's just what Emily & Ben's wedding did when I saw it. Simple but heartfelt, whatever it may lack in details, it more than makes up for with laughter, love and the most beautiful photographs by Brown Paper Parcel…..
My little sister was my best lady. She is the complete opposite to me (is totally fashion and an absolute babe!) and I didn't want to put her in anything she would hate. So I gave her free reign. The only rule I gave her was no red. We looked for ages for her dress, and she kept finding things she almost liked but would say "I feel like a bridesmaid". Finding something that she felt like herself in and would wear again was important. She found her dress at Zimmerman, and it looked amazing with her Wittner heels.
"The best adivce I was given was actually from my sister. It's super lame, but she kept saying "You do you". It helped me to realise that it was our day and what we wanted was best, not what tradition dictates or family expects.
Congratulations to the happy couple Emily & Ben, you planned the perfect day! And a big thankyou to their photographer Jess of Brown Paper Parcel who captured the smiles, tears, love & laughter so beautifully. If you would like to see more of her wonderful work do take a peek at Bambi & Aden's DIY backyard wedding right here on CVB, or head over to her website www.brownpaperparcel.com. You can also find and follow her on Instagram, Facebook and Blogspot.
If Emily & Ben's day has you smitten and looking for more ideas for an intimate celebration, you might want to take a look at this rustic Autumn affair, or this beautifully heartfelt Jewish wedding, and how about this 1930s inspired city wedding, or this rustic elegant celebration will charm your socks off!

Q: C# : changing listbox row color? I am trying to change the background color of some rows in a ListBox. I have two lists that one has names and is displayed in a ListBox. The second list has some similar values as the first List. When clicking a button, I want to search the ListBox and the second List, and change the color of the ListBox for those values that appear in the List. My search in the ListBox is as follows:
for (int i = 0; i < listBox1.Items.Count; i++)
{
    for (int j = 0; j < students.Count; j++)
    {
        if (listBox1.Items[i].ToString().Contains(students[j].ToString()))
        {
        }
    }
}

But I don't know which method to use in order to change the appearance of a ListBox row. Can anybody help me?
**EDIT: **
HI I wrote my code as follows:
private void ListBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
    e.DrawBackground();
    Graphics g = e.Graphics;
    Brush myBrush = Brushes.Black;
    Brush myBrush2 = Brushes.Red;
    g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Silver), e.Bounds);
    e.Graphics.DrawString(listBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font, myBrush, e.Bounds, StringFormat.GenericDefault);
    for (int i = 0; i < listBox1.Items.Count; i++)
    {
        for (int j = 0; j < existingStudents.Count; j++)
        {
            if (listBox1.Items[i].ToString().Contains(existingStudents[j]))
            {
                e.Graphics.DrawString(listBox1.Items[i].ToString(),
                e.Font, myBrush2, e.Bounds, StringFormat.GenericDefault);
            }
        }
    }
    e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}

Now it draws my List in the ListBox, but when I click the button first, it shows in red only the students that are in the List and when I click on the ListBox it  draws all the elements. I want that it will show all the elements , and when I click the button it will show all the elements and the element found in the List in red. Where is my mistake?

A: I find solution that instead of using ListBox I used ListView.It allows to change list items  BackColor.
private void listView1_Refresh()
{
    for (int i = 0; i < listView1.Items.Count; i++)
    {
        listView1.Items[i].BackColor = Color.Red;
        for (int j = 0; j < existingStudents.Count; j++)
        {
            if (listView1.Items[i].ToString().Contains(existingStudents[j]))
            {
                listView1.Items[i].BackColor = Color.Green;
            }
        }
    }
}

A: You will need to draw the item yourself.  Change the DrawMode to OwnerDrawFixed and handle the DrawItem event.
/// <summary>
/// Handles the DrawItem event of the listBox1 control.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender">The source of the event.</param>
/// <param name="e">The <see cref="System.Windows.Forms.DrawItemEventArgs"/> instance containing the event data.</param>
private void listBox1_DrawItem( object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e )
{
   e.DrawBackground();
   Graphics g = e.Graphics;

    // draw the background color you want
    // mine is set to olive, change it to whatever you want
    g.FillRectangle( new SolidBrush( Color.Olive), e.Bounds );

    // draw the text of the list item, not doing this will only show
    // the background color
    // you will need to get the text of item to display
    g.DrawString( THE_LIST_ITEM_TEXT , e.Font, new SolidBrush( e.ForeColor ), new PointF( e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y) );

    e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}

A: I think you have to draw the listitems yourself to achieve this.
Here's a post with the same kind of question.

A: Once you've added your listbox item to your form, change DrawMode with OwnerDrawFixed option from the Properties panel. If you forget to do this, none of the codes below will work. Then click DrawItem event from the Events area.
private void listBox1_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
   // 1. Get the item
   string selectedItem = listBox1.Items[e.Index].ToString();

   // 2. Choose font
   Font font = new Font("Arial", 12);

   // 3. Choose colour
   SolidBrush solidBrush = new SolidBrush(Color.Red);

   // 4. Get bounds
   int left = e.Bounds.Left;
   int top = e.Bounds.Top;

   // 5. Use Draw the background within the bounds
   e.DrawBackground();

   // 6. Colorize listbox items
   e.Graphics.DrawString(selectedItem, font, solidBrush, left, top);
}

A: First use this Namespace:
using System.Drawing;

Add this anywhere on your form:
listBox.DrawMode = DrawMode.OwnerDrawFixed;
listBox.DrawItem += listBox_DrawItem;

Here is the Event Handler:
private void listBox_DrawItem(object sender, DrawItemEventArgs e)
{
     e.DrawBackground();

     Graphics g = e.Graphics;
     g.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.White), e.Bounds);
     ListBox lb = (ListBox)sender;
     g.DrawString(lb.Items[e.Index].ToString(), e.Font, new SolidBrush(Color.Black), new PointF(e.Bounds.X, e.Bounds.Y));

     e.DrawFocusRectangle();
}

A: I find the solution for listbox items' background to yellow. I  tried the following solution to achieve the output.
 for (int i = 0; i < lstEquipmentItem.Items.Count; i++)
                {
                    if ((bool)ds.Tables[0].Rows[i]["Valid_Equipment"] == false)
                    {
                        lblTKMWarning.Text = "Invalid Equipment & Serial Numbers are highlited.";
                        lblTKMWarning.ForeColor = System.Drawing.Color.Red;
                        lstEquipmentItem.Items[i].Attributes.Add("style", "background-color:Yellow");
                        Count++;
                    }

                }

A: How about
      MyLB is a listbox

        Label ll = new Label();
        ll.Width = MyLB.Width;
        ll.Content = ss;
        if(///<some condition>///)
            ll.Background = Brushes.LightGreen;
        else
            ll.Background = Brushes.LightPink;
        MyLB.Items.Add(ll);

Annotation is the systematic marking of a text. It allows you to absorb more information from reading and reviewing in less time. When properly used, annotation can make any book more understandable. It doesn't matter if it's about calculus or Shakespeare.
To properly annotate a book you need to have a plan. The last thing that you want to do is start highlighting everything on the page. After all, the point of marking your book is so that you can review a chapter without having to reread the whole thing.
Annotation will make your book like an easy to read road map. It will tell you what the important attractions are and how to get there.
These are the tools you will need.
• Highlight important passages, but remember to highlight as little as possible.
• Do not highlight a paragraph when a sentence will do.
• Do not highlight an entire sentence when a couple of words will do.
• You goal is to simplify the ideas of the text. This will help you to review at a glance.
Which color you use for which purpose doesn't matter. Just remember to be consistent.
• Use your pen for writing questions. If you are reading your book and find that you are wondering what is going on, write yourself a question. Many times questions will be answered later in the book or your instructor can answer them. It is important that you write down your questions so that you can be sure that you get them answered.
• Before a quiz or test you can go back through your text and test yourself, especially if you went back and wrote down the answers to your questions.
• Use your pen for writing paragraph summaries. In the margins of the text write a note to yourself about the meaning of the paragraph. The note will be short and in your own words. This will allow you quick comprehension during a review session.
You can use your pen to jot down symbols in your text. Symbols are used instead of words or phrases because they can be recognized at a glance and take up a lot less space. Keep in mind that these are only examples. Effective annotation marks are unique to the user. Markings will also vary depending on the type of text.
The most important thing to remember about annotation is that it gets its meaning from you. The more thought you put into your annotation, the clearer your readings will become to you. Choose your owns style; pick colors and symbols that mean something to you. When you have applied these techniques to any of your readings, you will learn more information faster. Just remember to keep it simple.


Does Your Website Speed Really Affect Google Rankings?
On the off chance that you visit a site and it takes ages to stack, what do you do? In the event that you resemble me, you will either leave the site or you will open another program tab and inquiry another site.
Along these lines on the off chance that your site sets aside a long opportunity to stack, at last you will lose guests. Individuals just won't will keep an eye out for your site to stack.
This is one of the drawbacks about the web – it makes everybody fretful! We hope to get what we need in a split second and holding up only a couple of more seconds is irritating!
Since Google's aim is dependably to convey the best locales to those utilizing their web indexes then a moderate webpage won't be viewed as useful for individuals.
On the off chance that you have bunches of huge pictures, these can extremely back off your site. On the off chance that those pictures are not giving a basic ordeal to your guests, it may be smarter to expel them or make them littler.
Truly Matt Cutts states that under 1% of sites are influenced by Google executing changes to do with site speed. The impact of speed has less of an effect on your hunt rankings than your real substance does.
In this manner despite the fact that it is an interesting point you ought not invest as much energy in this contrasted with ensuring your substance is great quality. The substance truly matters.
Google needs to give a decent client encounter and along these lines whatever they can use to specifically enhance a sites client encounter is something they are exploring different avenues regarding. Focusing on site speed is only a little piece of this.
Keep in mind that it doesn't make a difference what speed your webpage loads, if the substance on there isn't furnishing individuals with the data they are hunting down then your site speed is insignificant at any rate.
What Is A decent Speed?
As per David Amerland who is a specialist on website improvement, a great site speed is a score of 55 or more out of 100. Presently the issue is that your score will change contingent upon the site speed testing programming or instrument you use! David's proposals depend on Google's free site speed checker.
On the off chance that you're not seeing the outcomes you need with your online endeavors, it may be down to what you're really moving. I have found that when you make your own data items you are unmistakably increasingly fruitful yet you have to prop the energy up and get items out rapidly.

Review by Ginrai
Xenomorph provided for review by the ToySource. Click on the link to get your Xenomorph Lurker!
1979's Alien is one of my favorite movies of all time, but I didn't actually see it until I was a teenager. I saw its sequel, Aliens, however, when I was 7 years old. Yeah, it's more of an action movie than a horror movie, but it was a visceral experience that left an indelible mark on my young imagination. Ripley is awesome, but of course what is seared into everyone's brain is the xenomorphs, disgusting acid-drooling monsters from hellspace. Oh, and that android dude getting ripped in half. But mostly disgusting acid-drooling monsters from hellspace.
In 2013, Sega released a video game loosely based on the movie, Aliens: Colonial Marines. In 2015, newcomer Hiya Toys (you pronounce this just like "Hi-Ya!" you scream when you do a karate chop) released a series of 1/18 scale (think the little G.I. Joes or most Star Wars figures) Xenomorphs based on the aliens from Sega's game. A couple of action figure fans started Hi-Ya in order make nice, high quality 3.5" toys based on pop culture licenses. Hiya has more licensed toys in this scale in the works.
Right off the bat you may notice that even though this toy is based on the game based on the second movie, the Xenomorph Lurker is largely inspired by the "Big Chap", the monster from the original film. You can tell because this starbeast has a clear dome on its head which shows a hint of a humanoid skull in the front. I did mention that the first Alien movie is my favorite, right? This is right up my alley.
It is designed to be slightly larger than your average 3.5" action figure so it can loom over them the way a good Xenomorph should. Frankly, the level of detail is surprising for such a tiny toy. The sculpt is very nice and the glossy finish does an excellent job of approximating the slimy exoskeleton the creature.
The Lurker comes with a stand resembling the kind of metal grate you see a lot inside of spaceships and colonies in the movies. It does a good job of anchoring your figure so you can take advantage of the articulation, which is quite good for such a small figure. I'm especially impressed by how well-hidden the joints are. The head is more posable than the S.H. MonsterArts "Big Chap", but the weird fins on its back lack the movement of the larger toy. That isn't a huge loss, but I'm slightly disappointed that the wrists can only swivel without any up or down motion.
I do really appreciate the tail, though! Inside it is a long, flexible metal wire so you can twist it any way you want It's just like one of those old bendy toys! This is easily my favorite feature of Hiya's rendition of the Xenomorph. Not only is it valuable for articulation, you can also use it to support the body in lots of poses so you don't have to use the stand. Very nice.
The toy isn't really that top heavy, despite the giant head and those pointy things on the back, but the tail compensates anyway. Note also the little spurs on the heels. They are a nice touch.
The joints are stiff but not too stiff. They stay right where you put them. You can even make your xenomorph do push-ups! Not that I think xenomorphs are super into calisthenics
While I do really like the design of the head and the mouth looks good, with pretty decent paint on the teeth, I really wish there was an option for the tongue with the second mouth on it to stick out. The ReAction figure can do this. If it was unworkable to cram a tiny mechanism in there, another option would have been a swap out part or an alternate head, but it's not a huge loss.
Did I mention the toy can easily balance on one leg if you use the stand? I'm really impressed with the great poses you can get out of this toy.
The Lurker also comes with a closed Xenomorph egg (sometimes called an "ovomorph". It's just a simple static plastic accessory to go with the alien action figure itself, but it has a nice slimy appearance and a good level of fidelity to the source material.
I'm not a huge fan of the base sculpted into the the egg itself, though. The greenish paint makes it appears to be a grassy floor at first glance, but a closer look reveals that it's kind of a wormy tendril covered thing. It seems off, but this is a minor nitpick.
Also included with the Lurker is a facehugger accessory. It's a small static figure with no articulation at all, but it captures the look of the creature from the film, even if it's a little simple.
The design is good, including the nasty-looking knuckles and suggestive air sacs. in terms of coloring, it's pretty much a flat grayish color, but I don't think a complex paint scheme or anything more than a wash is really necessary.
The underside of the facehugger has the gruesome detail you expect despite the small scale of the monster. My only complaint about the facehugger is that it doesn't have the bendy tail of the larger Lurker itself, but that's probably a budget thing.
You also got a pretty good selection of alternate hands for your xenomorph, but I don't think they are that different from each other. Still, what else are you going to do with xenomorph hands? It's not like they ever play musical instruments, hold weapons, or shake hands!
My copy of the Lurker had some quality control problems with the alternate hands. As you can see from the pictures, there's some weird red-colored chunky mold flash stuck to three of the hands that I couldn't get off. Maybe I will try to attack it with a hobby knife later, but it's kind of a pain. In fact, there's some of this red flash on the knuckle of one of them, so that one has an aesthetic blemish, too. One of the other hands also had a wrist that was missing paint and bent whenever I tried to put it into the socket and just would not work. All of the wrist pegs are a little soft and can be slightly difficult to insert, but this one was far worse. Hopefully I just got unlucky and this is a problem most won't experience. It seems like the Boiler and Soldier reviewed by chachipower did not have these sorts of issues.
While you can certainly sic your Lurker on your G.I. Joes, Micros, or even Robotech figures, I really recommend the Super 7/Funko Alien ReAction figures. It's true that the ReAction figures do have an Alien figure, but the Hiya Lurker has 35 years of toy technology on it. The human figures still go well with the Lurker, nonetheless.
Quality control issues and minor quibbles aside, this is a really nice little action figure. It's perfect to make your galaxy a long time ago and far, far away a place no one can hear you scream.

Collaboration AstraZeneca´s Efficient Way to New Drugs
Discovery Sciences, a department at AstraZeneca´s research unit in Mölndal just south of Gothenburg, has grown in importance during recent years.
Its goal is to discover compounds for disease treatment that are based on new knowledge of the human genome, cell structures and human proteins. A research effort that is extremely complex and technically demanding. In this respect collaboration across functional and geographic boundaries is a key enabler. "Success will only come our way if we can combine internal collaboration across our research units with external partnerships at regional, national and global levels," says Peter Nyström, Site Manager at AstraZeneca in Mölndal.
X-ray diffraction of membrane bound proteins. Sounds complicated? Well, that's exactly what it is. The barely understandable words are never the less an important motivator to AstraZeneca's focus on Discovery Sciences. It all boils down to identify and understand how different compounds bind to proteins present at the surface of cells in the human body to discover new cures to our diseases. The research represents the fundamental and most basic part of the emerging possibility to produce new medicines that can enhance the future for millions of patients.
AstraZeneca in Mölndal employs about 170 researchers at Discovery Sciences, many from Sweden but also a whole range of scientists from abroad covering a number of different nationalities. The researchers we meet are a typical example: Niek Dekker, the Netherlands, Stefan Geschwindner, Germany and Margareta Ek, Sweden. All three are aiming to find the molecules that can influence human cells and deliver better cure for severe pain, life threatening obesity and lung ailments such as COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease).
A more open approach
"A lot has happened in recent years that's dramatically has brought this kind of science forward. But at the same time tools and techniques have become so extremely complicated that we at AstraZeneca now has to work by open processes and collaborate, with other companies, and with the academic world," says Stefan Geschwindner. A good example of this is in the research of proteins that bound to our cells protective outer
membrane. Cell surfaces are filled with a vast number of receptors at which substances coupled to proteins can be fed into the cell itself and affect the way it operates. Today this is an unbeatable way to introduce drugs that will work exactly where they should. But how will one find the right proteins that will administer the right drugs? "We obviously start from the problems that the patients in healthcare experience. The concrete ideas then stems from scientists, practicing doctors - and from large databases of potential medicinal substances that the company has sampled during many years," says Margareta Ek.
Particle accelerators sometimes do the job
In short the scientists try to determine the exact structure of the proteins found. They crystallize the compound together with the target protein and then expose these crystals to high intensity X-ray diffraction to be able to solve the three dimensional structure. Knowing
how a compound binds to its target protein is an enormous help in the further optimization of such a compound to a novel candidate drug.
Although AstraZeneca in Mölndal do have advanced X-ray detectors, these do not always manage to produce the energy levels that fully enable them to "see" the details of the protein structures.
"If this problem occurs we collaborate with the ESRF in Grenoble, France, and apply their gigantic particle accelerator for the job," says Niek Dekker.
The future spells collaboration
There are also plenty of partners closer to home than Grenoble and other parts of the world. The Gothenburg region provides many opportunities. For example; Chalmers University of Technology, Sahlgrenska University Hospital and the University of Gothenburg; all are close collaborators to AstraZeneca. Stefan Geschwindner tells us:
"In collaboration with Chalmers Innovation we are for example eveloping methods to achieve higher concentrations of cell binding proteins and, in principle, we will be able to identify only a single protein binding molecule at a time, giving us more exact measurements".
Another example is the collaboration with the University of Gothenburg, together with ten other laboratories in Europe, where the aim is to develop new computerized analysis methods providing a better way to identify the cell membrane binding protein structures.
An additional objective for AstraZeneca in Mölndal is to open its corporate databases, containing research results of a vast number of substances, to researchers from many universities. "We are convinced that collaboration is the key promoter to achieve a successful delivery of new medicines in our increasingly complex world of research," says Site Manager Peter Nyström.

Adolescent offenders' current whereabouts predict locations of their future crimes
Where adolescents currently spend their time is highly predictive of where they will commit crimes in the near and distant future, according to a study published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE by Wim Bernasco from the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) and VU University Amsterdam.
By Prof. Wim Bernasco | 28 January 2019 | Spatial and Temporal Crime Patterns, Life-course
Recent advances in the analysis of human mobility have confirmed that human spatial behavior follows remarkably regular and predictable daily and weekly cycles, that can be explained by two simple mechanisms. The first mechanism is preferential return, the propensity to return to locations frequently visited before. The second mechanism is spatial exploration, the tendency to visit new locations nearby familiar ones. The reported study investigated whether preferential return and spatial exploration also apply to criminal conduct, and can explain and predict the locations of future crimes.
Whereabouts of adolescents are concentrated and highly predictable
A sample of 843 adolescents in The Hague, the Netherlands, reported their hourly whereabouts during four days. In line with findings from other sources and populations, their locations were concentrated and predictable. They spent about 75 percent of their time in their two most visited locations (typically home and school), their action radius was limited to 3.2 km, and the predictability of their whereabouts was 96 percent.
During the subsequent four years, 70 of the participants were apprehended by the police for committing one or more crimes. Together they committed 165 crimes. The mobility patterns (measured at the start of these four years) of the offenders were generally similar to those of the non-offenders.
Likelihood of crime raises with visiting frequency and declines with distance
As predicted from the mechanisms of preferential return and spatial exploration, offenders tended to perpetrate crimes in and around locations they had visited before, including locations where they previously offended. The likelihood of crime raises with visiting frequency and decreases with distance from previously visited locations.
The findings show that the high predictability of human mobility applies to offending and to offenders as well, and help us understand and forecast where they will commit future crimes. They may be applied in criminal investigations, as they can help police prioritize suspects based on the locations of the offences they committed.

A Litomyšl staff member will arrive at the airport to meet everyone at the marked meeting point on the map of the airport in Terminal 2 at 3:00 p.m. (15:00) to ensure that everyone who will be taking the bus is present before departure. S/he will be holding a sign with "Litomyšl" written upon it (for the meeting place, click to enlarge the map at the bottom of the page). If your plane touches down close to 3 p.m., please proceed to the meeting point immediately; the bus will wait for you until you have cleared passport control, customs and get your luggage. If your flight's arrival is delayed for more than one hour the bus will have to depart out of consideration for other arriving students, who have been waiting and/or had a long flight to Prague. Please see "If Your Flight is Delayed and you Miss the Bus" instructions below. Student with arrivals scheduled after 3 p.m. must make their own travel arrangements to Litomyšl.
If your flight arrives early, go to the EU Cafe (marked on the map), which opens at 6:00 am to wait for the bus. You can get coffee, food and refreshments there while you wait.
If Your Flight is Delayed and You Miss the Bus or if Your Flight Plans Do Not Coincide with the Bus Departures.
Flight cancellations and delays are not an infrequent occurrence these days, so the bus will wait for delayed flights which land no more than an hour after 3:00 p.m. (15:00) If your delayed flight lands no later than 4 p.m. (16:00) the bus will wait for you long enough for you to clear passport control, customs and get your luggage. Here is some helpful information so you know what to do in case you arrive too late to catch the bus to Litomyšl on Sunday.
If your scheduled flight arrival is after 3:00 p.m. (15:00), you can either follow the instructions below on how to take the train to Litomyšl, or you can take a car. Some students typically arrive in the late afternoon or early evening, and once the staff has everyone's travel plans, we can book a taxi which 3-4 people can share. A car to Litomysl is approx. 5,000 Kc, so chances are that you will end up paying 1,000 - 1,500 Kc for the trip if you prefer this option.
First, call the master class office to let them know about your delay when you arrive at Václav Havel Airport Prague.
Second, take a train from Prague Main Train Station (Hlavní Nádraží) to Česká Třebová.
Express Bus: To get to the Main Train Station, take the express bus from the airport (the first one runs at 4:40 a.m., the last one at 9:10 p.m.). The fare is 50 Kč.
Taxi: Alternatively, go to the Main Train Station with an authorized taxi, which has a fixed price to downtown Prague. Contact counters of taxi and car operators are located at the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 and 2. Departure points are displayed in front of arrivals halls. AAA and other companies have an exclusive contract with Prague airport to have a fleet of taxis waiting, and guarantees that you will get to your destination at regulation prices, which range from 325 Kc to 530 Kc depending on traffic, but under any circumstances may not exceed 550 Kc. Speak to the taxi supervisor representative inside the arrivals area and tell them you're going to the Main Train Station. The representative will give you a ticket with the details and 20% off the return trip. Do not use unauthorized taxis, as you will most likely be charged a far higher fare.
Train: When you get to the Main Train Station, buy a ticket to Česká Třebová, which is about 250 Kč for a one-way 2nd class ticket. Trains run frequently, but an EC train is recommended, because it cuts travel time from 2:12 hours to 1:40 hours. The timetables from Prague Main Train Station are on this webpage, so you can print out train departures from Prague to Česká Třebová between 3 p.m. until 9 p.m. (arriving no later than 11 p.m.). In the From window enter "Praha" and in the To enter "Česká Třebová. " Once you purchase your ticket and know your train number and departure time, call the master class staff and ask them to call a taxi for you to take you to Litomyšl since it is doubtful anyone will speak any English in Česká Třebová. Furthermore, a taxi may not be waiting at the train station on a Sunday evening. It's about a 15 minute drive to Litomyšl, and will cost about 400 Kč. Picking up a taxi without a reservation will most likely result in a substantially higher fare.
Third, you can also hire a car to take you from the airport to Litomyšl.
Taxi: Master Class staff can arrange for a car to Litomyšl for you upon request. Also, you can call Bohemia Prague Airport Transfers, at (+420) 773 066 880 (the same number can be used to send a SMS message). There is English-speaking staff at this number. The cost for the trip will be around 4,500 Kč based on a recent inquiry. Make sure to have them confirm the price when you reserve the car. There may be a 1-2 hour waiting time for the car to arrive, so SMS the company right away when your plane touches down if you know you've missed the bus and want to take a car. The trip takes about 2 ½ hours.
Fourth, in the very worst case scenario go to a hotel and arrive the next day.

Family finances: Save for college while saving on taxes
Kiplinger's Money Power November 23, 2021 The maximum amount you (and your spouse, if you file jointly) can deduct varies by state. (Dreamstime/TNS)
If you're goal is to save for college, a 529 plan is the smart way to do it.
Earnings in the account grow free of federal and state taxes, and the beneficiary of the account (your child, grandchild, the child of a friend or even you) can use the money tax-free for college tuition, room and board, and fees.
All states (except Wyoming) and the District of Columbia offer a 529 plan. More than 30 states and D.C. also offer a state income tax credit or deduction for contributions to a 529 account. Many plans require you to make your contributions by Dec. 31 to take a deduction for the year, although some give you until the tax-filing deadline.
The maximum amount you (and your spouse, if you file jointly) can deduct varies by state. For example, New York residents filing an individual New York State tax return can deduct contributions to a New York 529 plan of up to $5,000 per year, and a married couple filing jointly can deduct up to $10,000 per year, according to Savingforcollege.com. In Pennsylvania, the limits are $15,000 for individuals and $30,000 for couples filing jointly.
Some states also have additional enticements for residents to save. A total of 15 states now offer matching contributions, seed money or other financial incentives for residents who invest in their 529 plans. For example, Colorado's CollegeInvest 529 plan will match contributions up to $500 a year for five years, as long as the beneficiary is 8 years old or younger when the parents sign up and the family's adjusted gross income is 400% or less of the federal poverty level ($106,000 for a family of four).
Although these incentives may encourage more families to opt for a 529 plan in their home state, you should still shop around, with a focus on plans with low fees and solid investment options, says Emory Zink, an associate director at research firm Morningstar. That's especially true if your state doesn't offer a tax break for contributions — or if your state offers a tax deduction for contributions to any other state's plan.
Most of the states that offer the tax break let you take it only if you contribute to your own state's 529. However, several states — Arizona, Kansas, Missouri and Pennsylvania — give you the break for contributing to any state's account.

"We have been hosting this environmental conference since 1994, and the reason for that is because we recognized from the very beginning… there is a need for the attorneys and the environmental professionals to come together so we can exchange information to learn about programs and policies that improve our environmental compliance within the West Coast region," Darren Jump, Counsel, Western Area.
This year's symposium focused on several topics regarding Camp Pendleton's environmental security program. The first objective was to develop a greater appreciation for the state's role and federal facility responsibilities in environmental and land use compliance. Also, to create a forum for diverse environmental and land use compliance professionals to freely exchange practical information. Finally, to create a welcoming environment for diverse education and to connect experienced professionals in establishing and enhancing professional relationships.
"The nature of what we are trying to do here [utilizes] the land on MCB Camp Pendleton to the best of our ability, to expand the training opportunities, continue to be stewards of the installation's property and be a good neighbor to the outside community," said U.S. Marine Corps Col. Joseph D. Williams, chief of staff, MCI-W, MCB Camp Pendleton.

It's a new year. A time to reflect on the past and look forward to what we'd like to do or accomplish in the future. Perhaps, because of the holidays, you haven't had a chance to just sit down and relax. Or the thoughts of planning for this year, personally and professionally, is causing a little stress in your life. I'd like to encourage you to take a moment right now. To sit quietly. To relax your shoulders. To really breathe.
A multitude of studies have been conducted showing the benefits of conscious breathing. Breathing is a unique visceral function, (as compared to digestion, cardiovascular, endocrine) because though it is automatic like other bodily functions, it also can be voluntary. For thousands of years, yoga has incorporated conscious breathing into the practice. Today modern science recommends this exercise alone or accompanied by mediation, for physical, emotional, and mental health.
There are several reasons one should take a moment or two to really focus on the breath. The nervous system is improved because of the increase of oxygen in the body which nourishes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The whole body benefits because the nervous system controls the rest of the body. Immunity is also boosted because circulation is improved, the thymus gland is supported and stimulated. Oxygenation of the brain helps reduce mental stress, while deep breathing allows the body to shift from a "fight or flight" response to a state of calm, as it affects the parasympathetic nervous system. Lastly, for those who have made the resolution to lose weight, breathing increases muscle and helps with weight control.
For those of you who are new to conscious breathing and don't know where to start, here is a simple exercise.
Inhale and count to 5.
Hold for a count of 3.
Exhale for a count of 8.
Hold for a count of 1.
You may repeat once or up to 5 minutes.
Focusing on your own breathing can have a significant impact on your whole well-being, emotionally, mentally, and physically. Commit this year to self-care. It will benefit you personally and professionally. Anytime you find yourself not able to concentrate, sense a little stress, or are "under the weather", take a breath. A deep, cleansing breath. And feel renewed.

Today is Memorial Day; Monday, May 25th. Traditionally it's consider the beginning of Summer…BBQ's, a long weekend, and great sales.
I, however, prefer to remember those men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for this great country – their lives. I am truly grateful to them; you and I benefit from the Freedoms we have as Americans because so many have fought and died to preserve our Constitution and The Bill of Rights.
I haven't personally known anyone who died while serving in the military. I've read lots of stories and viewed many movies – from the Revolutionary to Civil to WWI and WWII to Korea to the wars which have taken place in my lifetime. I admire the courage, the conviction, and the conflict of the American soldier – whether he willingly went off to fight or not. The heartache of leaving those he loved. The fear he had to face. The anger towards death & evil he witnessed.
I live in a community where I see soldiers almost every day. A week or so ago I thought to myself, "how can I express my gratitude?" And so I decided that I would like to bless a woman who knows the pain of losing her husband because he gave the greatest gift he could give…his life for others. I can never express fully how grateful I am, but I hope my small gesture will help in the healing process – I am offering a complimentary Relaxation Facial (60 minutes).
Please share….I have mentioned this on my Facebook page, but so far I haven't heard from anyone. She may contact me at 360-381-3989, texting ok.

Effects of TV Morphology on Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair Outcomes
The researchers sought to describe tricuspid valve morphology and assess its impact on procedural results and clinical outcomes in edge-to-edge transcatheter tricuspid valve repair.
Transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) procedures for patients with either a 3- or 4-leaflet configuration were found to be similarly successful. These findings were published as research correspondence in JACC Cardiovascular Interventions.
Patients (N=129) who underwent edge-to-edge TTVr for severe tricuspid regurgitation at the Heart Center Leipzig in Germany between 2016 and 2019 were retrospectively assessed. Commissures were determined in 30°-steps in the transgastric short-axis view, and leaflets were defined as a fold of tissue between 2 commissures. TTVr was successful if regurgitation was reduced at 30 days.
Patients had a 3-leaflet (64.3%), 4-leaflet (34.9%), or 2-leaflet (0.8%) morphology. The sole patient with a 2-leaflet morphology was excluded from further analysis.
Most patients with 3-leaflet and 4-leaflet morphologies had functional tricuspid regurgitation (92% vs 93%). The anteroseptal commissure was located at 150° among 70% and 69% or at 120° among 17% and 31%, respectively.
The maximum posteroseptal commissure was at 0° among 46% of the 3-leaflet group and at 30° among 58% of the 4-leaflet cohort. The anteroposterior commissure was at 240° (52%) and anteromural commissure between 210° and 240° (47%).
Among the patients with a 4-leaflet morphology, the posteromural commissure was at 330° (53%).
Patients in the 4-leaflet cohort were more likely to have a coaptation gap >7 mm (22% vs 8.5%; P =.035) and tended to have larger coaptation gaps (median, 4.5 vs 4.0 mm; P =.077) and larger right ventricular-mid diameters (mean, 44.9 vs 43.0 mm; P =.18).
Technical success was observed among 87% of the 4-leaflet and 94% of the 3-leaflet morphologies (P =.19). The failed procedures among patients with 3-leaflet morphology were determined to be due to lack of optimal leaflet grasping (n=2), leaflet perforation (n=1), acute single leaflet detachment (n=1), and device embolization (n=1). The failed procedures for the 4-leaflet group were due to lack of optimal leaflet grasping (n=3), chordae-related complications (n=3), and Chiari network (n=1).
No intraprocedural deaths or emergency surgery occurred.
Although the 4-leaflet configuration was associated with increased chordae-related complications, TTVr rates of success were not significantly different on the basis of leaflet morphology.

Mass. Alert: Bad "Pandemic Bill"
Mike Adams at Natural News first brought this to our attention. The Massachusetts Senate has passed a bill that violates the very rights that Massachusetts residents fought and died for during the Revolutionary War. The action now moves to the Massachusetts house. We hope our Massachusetts readers will take action to prevent this very bad legislation from becoming law.
The Senate bill (Pandemic…Response Act) says that during a declared public health emergency police may arrest you without warrant if they have "probable" cause to think you are not complying with orders, including verbal orders, from the public health commissioner or local public health authority. You can then be imprisoned for not less than 30 days or fined $1,000 a day. Any order is considered valid if issued "in good faith". You may also be detained for as long as necessary for the public authorities to "convey information to you regarding the disease". You must also furnish whatever identifying information about yourself is requested.
The bill further states that public authorities have the right to enter your home without your consent, to "investigate" your home, to "decontaminate" it, to close it, and to require your evacuation from it. You may also be ordered to submit to a physical examination, treatment, or vaccination. You may refuse the examination, treatment, or vaccination while the authorities obtain a judge's order. Meanwhile you will be quarantined. Quarantine (for an indefinite period of time) might be in your home, but the state has the right to move you from your home and "confine" you in "other private or public premises". Even if confined to your home, it may of course be impossible to obtain food without violating the quarantine.
The state is authorized to demand your personal medical records. Such information shall be kept confidential "except" when the public authority deems it "necessary" not to keep it confidential.
The state may require all licensed health practitioners and even social workers to carry out assigned orders. They may be forced to administer vaccines. Anyone not complying will lose their license. None of these personnel if volunteering will be liable for any of their actions.
The state may also "restrict or prohibit assemblages of persons". No one of course objects to sensible measures such as dropping mandatory attendance at school during a pandemic, but an unlimited right to prohibit assembly clearly violates the first amendment of the constitution. Our founding fathers from Massachusetts would be astonished beyond measure to read this Orwellian legislation from the cradle of our liberties.

Home Pentagon weighs sending Stryker combat vehicles to Ukraine
The U.S. is considering sending Stryker armored combat vehicles to Ukraine in an upcoming aid package to help Kyiv fend off an expected Russian spring offensive, according to two people familiar with the discussion.
The news follows the Biden administration's announcement last week that it will send 50 Bradley Fighting Vehicles, a powerful tracked armored vehicle that carries an autocannon, a machine gun and TOW missiles.
The Strykers may be part of the next tranche of military aid, according to a Defense Department official, who like others asked for anonymity to discuss internal deliberations ahead of an announcement. The administration could announce the package, with or without Strykers, late next week around the time of the next Ukraine Defense Contact Group meeting in Germany.
The people stressed that no final decision has been made, and the administration could decide to send the Strykers in a future package instead.
"We have no announcements to make at this time," said Pentagon spokesperson Lt. Col. Garron Garn. A spokesperson for the National Security Council did not comment by press time.
Strykers would be another capability boost for Kyiv's rapidly growing arsenal and would help meet a critical need for armor, as concerns grow that Russia is planning a second mobilization for a major new offensive in the coming weeks.
While Strykers are not as powerful or protective as tanks, the eight-wheeled armored fighting vehicle built by General Dynamics Land Systems can operate in snow, mud and sand, though off-road mobility is somewhat limited by its lack of tracks.
"Ukrainians need armored personnel carriers and short of other countries providing it, is what we have in inventory," the DoD official said. "Not as good as a Bradley for a tank fight, but good to protect infantry and get up close to a fight."
The U.S. has already sent Ukraine thousands of combat vehicles, including Humvees and mine-resistant vehicles used to move troops on the battlefield. But Strykers could offer a balance between a tank and an armored personnel carrier.
Army operators say the wheeled vehicle moves more quietly than a Bradley and note that it can ferry more troops, nine compared to six in a standard M2.
The vehicles were deployed regularly to Iraq with U.S. infantry battalions where they allowed U.S. troops to move quickly along paved roadways while offering more protection than a Humvee, along with a .50caliber machine gun operated remotely by a soldier inside the vehicle.
Ukraine already operates a similar vehicle, as the first of a planned 39 Canadian Armoured Combat Support Vehicles — a Canadian version of the Stryker also built by General Dynamics — started to arrive in Ukraine in recent weeks. The vehicles were initially purchased for the Canadian armed forces, but in June Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he was diverting their delivery to Ukraine.
The U.S. has sold 60 Strykers to Thailand, and North Macedonia is buying 16.
Sending powerful armored vehicles such as the Bradley and Strykers could be a precursor to providing tanks. But Western nations remain stuck in much the same place they have been for months — debating who goes big first.
"There's a strange back and forth with the Europeans where any time anyone asks, the Europeans they say, 'Well, you know, the U.S. should go first.' And the administration said, 'Well, we want the Europeans to go first or we want to do it together.' And the Ukrainians are just saying, 'For the love of God, just give us the tanks,'" said a person familiar with those discussions.

April 7, 1904: Baltimore Sewer System. "Baltimore was one of the last major cities on the east coast to construct a proper sewer system. The City's inability to install sanitary sewers until 1915 tarnished the appeal of what was otherwise a successful city. Several commissions throughout the nineteenth century formulated plans for a sewer system for Baltimore, but were unsuccessful because of economic conditions and fighting between political parties.
Lacking a sewer system, Baltimore relied primarily on privy vaults (cesspools) for waste disposal until the early twentieth century. Privy vaults are holes dug 3 to 75 feet deep, though most were quite shallow. Baltimore's sandy soil was ideal for privy vaults, making the method the most economically viable form of waste disposal. It was estimated that in 1880, with a population of 350,000, over 80 thousand privy vaults were in use in the City.

Angry Anna : Gaming Version Of Anna Hazare Against Corruption
Just few days back, I have posted the India Against Corruption mobile apps which are designed to support Hazare Anna. And now Anna Hazare is here in his gaming avatar too. called Angry Anna. Angry Anna is a game based on the theme of the popular game Angry Birds.
Also Check : Support Anna Hazare With Mobile Apps Now
Just like the Angry Birds, Angry Anna is also having a story and mission to play game. In this game, corrupt politicians are stealing the money of the India and you have to play Angry Anna against them.
The various birds of the Angry Birds are replaced with the Anna Hazare and his team members. And the pigs are swapped with the politicians of India. Angry Anna game also shows Baba Ramdev as part of the Anna Hazare's team which is not that correct.
Angry Anna is having the four levels to play. The number of the politicians and Anna Hazare and team are added according to the progress of the game. And you also get the support message "We have not included scores in the game. Our intention is to build a game to garner support for Anna Hazare, who is fighting against corrupt politicians in India, and let people vent their frustration against corrupt leaders", if a user fails to complete the last level.
So, what you are waiting for? Just play the Angry Anna and support Anna Hazare in a new way on http://www.angryanna.com/.

Q: Installing libmp3lame to work with FFMPEG on raspberry pi I am using the moviepy module with python 3.2 on my RPi 2. It uses FFMPEG to read and write the video, so I installed FFMPEG using these instructions to the letter. Now when I run the program, it says that my video export failed because FFMPEG didn't find the libmp3lame codec that it needs. How do I got about installing the libmp3lame codec onto my RPi 2 (running Raspian Wheezy)?
I think I have to reinstall FFMPEG to install the codec.. how do I do that correctly?

A: First, install lame mp3 with
sudo apt-get install libmp3lame-dev

and then recompile/build ffmpeg including the --enable-libmp3lame flag
./configure <other-configure-options> --enable-libmp3lame

Question: How Can I Manage Client Expectations?
How can I manage client expectations to avoid last-minute conflict? What are some best practices for communicating with clients and managing a project to avoid any clashing over deadlines and deliverables?
Chelimar Miranda is vice president of operations for iHealthSpot. Chelimar joined iHealthSpot in 2011 and has been instrumental in the evolution of the company into a leader in healthcare practice marketing. She leads the digital marketing and website production departments, shepherding a myriad of projects through all stages of discovery, design, development, and deployment.
I have found that when managing a large project, complicated project, or difficult clients, things go a lot more smoothly with a weekly meeting with the client. I schedule a recurring meeting once a week right away. If there's nothing to discuss, the meeting gets canceled, or it's a five-minute catch up call.
On this call you are able to prioritize, set/adjust expectations, and adjust the timeline as needed. Regular contact also helps create a one-on-one relationship that can sometimes make the client more understanding when there are snags. I also create timelines when needed and a shared Google document with notes and "homework" that we update on the weekly call.

New police unit to face 'Paris-like' terror attacks
DPA/The Local - [email protected] • 16 Dec, 2015 Updated Wed 16 Dec 2015 16:48 CEST
Germany's newest anti-terrorist police unit had its day in the spotlight on Wednesday, just weeks after the Paris attacks that prompted its formation.
The clumsily-named "Evidence-gathering and Arrest Unit Plus" (BFE+) will support the existing elite anti-terror group GSG 9 in the event of a terrorist attack.
Its 50 officers – who will be boosted to 250 next year - will join in hostage rescues and other "tough situations", Federal Police chief Dieter Romann said.

Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere told journalists at BFE+'s base near Berlin that the unit was the first lesson to be drawn from the devastating attacks that killed 130 people and injured dozens more in the French capital on November 13th.
"The security services have to adapt themselves" to the new elevated level of security threat, de Maiziere said.
He added that as well as the BFE+, the Federal Police was also recruiting large numbers of new officers.

## Display settings

* Extend the primary display to the slave monitor.
* Display resolution - 1600 x 1200, refresh rate - 60 Hz.

## Before running

<mark>Set FORP USB button box mode to "HID NAR BYGRT"</mark>

Open `narps` directory in Octave GUI.

## Training

Run the script `training` in command window of Octave GUI.

Enter the subject number when prompted.

## Scanner task

Run the script `protocol` in command window of Octave GUI to run the protocol.

Enter the subject number and run number when prompted.

## How to quit

Press Escape when the gamble is on screen.

## Responses

* Four responses - index-finger key if you "strongly accept" to the gamble, middle if "weakly accept", ring if "weakly reject" and pinky if "strongly reject".
* For training sessions, U, I, O and P respectively for each of the above-mentioned responses.

## After the acquisition

* `Outputs` folder contains `.txt` files: trial-by-trial info about trial type, subject response, response time and onset times.

* `logs` folder contains `.log` files: each run's trial-by-trial info is appended in this file for each subject.

### Data extraction

* Run `paradigm_descriptors.py` as follows:

    ```
    python paradigm_descriptors.py
    ```

* This will create BIDS compliant `.tsv` events files from the `.txt` files in the `output_paradigm_descriptors` folder.

* If there are multiple `.txt` files for the same subject and same run, the script adds a suffix '(`some number`)' to the `.tsv` files.

* But to avoid confusions at a later stage, you must first delete unnecessary `.txt` files.

## Design

* 4 runs
* 64 trials in each run (~7 sec for each trial, 7.5 min for each run)

## Software info

* Modified for Octave 5.2.0, psychtoolbox-3 (3.0.17, Debian flavor).
* Primary script `protocol.m` and `training.m` for training session.

Windows XP To Live Still Longer
By Stuart J. Johnston
In a reversal of its earlier stance, Microsoft officials confirmed that customers will be able to downgrade from Windows 7 to Windows XP for a year and a half after the new system ships, or until the first Service Pack drops — whichever comes first.
While some industry observers the modified downgrade policy is a change for the better, at least one analyst says Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) still hasn't enough to provide options for enterprises.
The downgrade option is also not available to all Windows 7 users: Downgrade rights apply to purchasers of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate, so the option isn't available to customers who buy Windows 7 Home Premium.
Additionally, customers who have either Software Assurance subscriptions or Enterprise Agreements with Microsoft can continue to get the downgrade as long as they want.
Microsoft first disclosed that Windows 7 customers would have downgrade rights to XP— instead of just to Window Vista — back in April.
Previously, the company had set the cutoff date for downgrading to XP at six months after Windows 7's ship date, which is currently set for October 22. That would have cut off availability of XP downgrades on April 30, 2010.
Now that's been extended. The latest that Microsoft will enable XP downgrades will be the end of April 2011.
"Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate customers will have the option to downgrade to Windows XP Professional from PCs that ship within 18 months following the general availability of Windows 7 or until the release of a Windows 7 service pack (SP), whichever is sooner and if an SP is developed," a Microsoft spokesperson told InternetNews.comin an e-mail.
Rolling back the clock
There are reasons why customers might want to weigh their options when it comes to keeping Windows 7 or downgrading to XP. One significant shortcoming: mainstream support for XP expired on April 14. Microsoft's "extended support" is still available for the operating system, although that includes only security patches for free — other support requires payment. That offering runs until August 8, 2014.
While the newest policy change may please some customers, it doesn't address the needs of many, according to Michael Silver, research vice president at Gartner.
"It's still bad … they didn't fix it right," Silver told InternetNews.com. "There's still no firm end date, so companies won't know when downgrade rights expire."
That can play havoc with companies that need to meticulously plan, make preparations for, and deploy Windows 7.
So what should Microsoft do?
"They can give a firm date that's far enough out that organizations can get their applications tested," Silver said. "A date would be better so that customers would be able to deploy Windows 7 by the time downgrade rights expire."
Paul DeGroot, research vice president for channels and licensing at Directions on Microsoft, takes a different view on the latest change.
"The six-month timeframe doesn't fit anybody's time scale," DeGroot told InternetNews.com. "With 18 months, a lot of the problem has been removed."
Still, the new policy's uncertainty is a problem for him, too.
"I would have liked to have seen Microsoft say [expiration] is whichever comes later, because we don't know when SP1 is going to come out," DeGroot said.
