Yes, pixelArt: true is the one that actually solves this one.
You are not reusing the "animations" in a group, but the sprites themselves. So of course there will be no more items to get() after your 30th usage.
bunnymark not working on android 4.2.1?
Pixi works on stock android browser too, I can confirm that, 4.2.2 OS. However, filters do not seem to work. Edit: To clarify, pixi-based code can run on the stock browser, but I was unable to run the bunnytest as well. I do not know what exactly is the problem with that specific code.
Setting button to null does not delete the button though, be careful with that. The only way to get "rid" of it is to allow it to be garbage collected AKA removing each and every reference made towards it. But that is more of a general JS discussion, not exactly Pixi. Disabling the sprite's interactivity, as far as I know, removes the handlers too.
If I learned anything from the previous thread of mine ( http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/12676-need-help-with-spritesheets-and-pixijs/ ), it is the following: Say you use multiple files for the explosion and the ship. That means that you should be able to do the following: ship.image1 = new PIXI.BaseTexture(image1) //If the image1 is already an image, otherwise use BaseTexture.fromImage(src)ship.image2 = new PIXI.BaseTextrue(image2)Then, you declare the frames of animation from image 1, then from image 2: ship.frames1 = ;ship.frames1.push(new PIXI.Texture(ship.image1,new PIXI.Rectangle(....));ship.frames2 = ;ship.frames2.push(new PIXI.Texture(ship.image2,new PIXI.Rectangle(....));So when you initialize the ship, you will probably use the frame from your initial image, using something like this: ship.sprite = new PIXI.Sprite(ship.frames1);And when you will need to use the explosion, you can just setTexture your way through it, like this: ship.sprite.setTexture(ship.frames2) //..... or whichever number your explosion animation currently stands)Hope this helps. To clarify whether this approach works or not, I will try it out soon, and get back to you.
Thank you! This indeed was what I was looking for! Had to look around because initially, I was confused how to setup the sprite itself (in the other thread where a question similar was taken, you suggested that the frame1 was going to be the default (or first) texture assigned to the Sprite, and indeed, that worked! So thank you. This means that you have one more strong pixi.js-convert from now on One tiny thing, though. Instead of this: this.btexture = new PIXI.BaseTexture("warrior-sprites_2x.png");I had to use this: this.btexture = PIXI.Texture.fromImage("warrior-sprites_2x.png").baseTexture;I have no idea how or why, but nothing showed up on the code if I opened with the first option. The second, however, worked.
At a glance, this seems like the usual image problem, where you are indeed setting the image's source sooner than it could load, thus giving you problems. Usually, you first set the image. var picture = new Image(); Then you do an onload, specifying that your assets should be used only when loaded picture.onload = (code that deals with that, either flipping a switch or something else) Then you add the source. picture.src = "imagesrc.png"; Now, you gotta make sure to wait for the image to load before you make any references to this in your regular draws. If you omit to do that, the image will not pop up at all. Or does so only after reloads.
Hello! In the past year, I have decided to do a HTML5-based game, and I kept going at it ever since. Full production is something that is still a bit far ahead, but I managed to squeeze out every single little detail of canvas-related performance that I could find. Here are my experiences, tips, and all that jazz. 1.On buffers Simply using a buffer canvas (an invinsible one) and then drawing that to the screen instead of using image-> canvas is really, at first glance, not faster. The applications of this is not meant to be as simple as that, however. You want parallax scrolling? You want fancy effects generated from a multi-layered spritesheet? You can predict that is going to be needed? Then you can save processing time by using buffer canvases. There are all sorts of clever tricks to this. Imagine if you need to compile a 4-layered parallax background scroll in about...240 frames (4 seconds). You can process the picture, add the layers to a hidden canvas, frame by frame, in small parts. No single frame will make this buffering draw more than, say....50*50, once per frame. And then once it is completed (pre-painted), you can just draw parts of the buffered image, showing the user the parallax scroll in all its glory, by rendering it only once per frame. If you omitted this process, you will need to draw the bacgkround as it is moving N times, where N is the number of layers. This is just one trick. You can build animations from multiple layers, buffer it, and only draw one square (frame) instead of requiring multiple layers of composition and different draws over and over. Conclusion: buffer-canvases are good, when used with preparation. Just using them natively (for the sake of using them) is not a performance benefit. 2. Canvas size matters, especially (but not only) in mobiles. Never use bigger sized canvases than you would truly need. There is a directly testable performance gap between canvas sizes. Sounds like a no-brainer initially, but it is not. Logic would dictate that if I redraw an x*y size area of an 1200*800 canvas, that would be similar if I did the same redraw of an 1000*600 canvas, but it is not. Use clever positioning, CSS, background images if you want to be as optimal about this as you want to be. 3. The most important canvas optimization #1: Be smart about redraws. There has been many tutorials describing this. You should not redraw everything all the time. Multiple canvases are good because you do not need to clear/redraw stuff when one object moves. In my rpg game, there are currently 5 layers used. Background, UI-BG (frames) layer, character layer,puzzle layer, text layer. When the character moves around, it does it in a different canvas than the background. - 1) Only redraw animation frames when you need them to. Non-moving object? No redraw. - 2) Only clear (clearRect) when you need to. Be very precise about the areas needed to be cleared. Doing 5*(40*100) clears is usually better than doing one 400*100 clear. - 3) This has yet to be carefully tested - more like anecdotal evidence, but you need to organize your drawing like.....canvas 1: Perform all clears, all draws. canvas 2: perform all clears, all draws. DO not do canvas1 clear, canvas 2 draw, canvas 1 draw canvas1 clear canvas 3 draw canvas 2 draw canvas 1 clear canvas 4 clear. It is a performance loss. My own "camera" framework gets draw/clear commands thrown at it, and it keeps separate clear/drawQueries, and at the end of an animFrame, it draws all queries and clears all queries. Goes from canvas to canvas. I was afraid it is going to be convulted, but in a HTC Desire 310, I can achieve 30-60fps on my game, even without further resolution adjustments. And it has constant animations, parallax scrolling, moving puzzle, five layers. I am almost satisfied with it. Before I started optimizing the game, it crawled in single digits. 4. The main culprit behind slowdowns is usually the garbage collector. Seriously. I have looked at so many HTML5 Canvas/webGL games in the past few months, looking for answers, and most of them have the quick sawtooth performance that is painful to watch. Let us assume your game runs at 60fps. Theoretically. Now, with regular GC, you can get a visible slowdown every seconds, even if it is just a hitch to lower 50's. (60->57->51->60->51->etc.). You need to have a VERY carefully written code to eliminate this. Basically, no anonymous functions, no var declarations hundreds of times per frame, no spamming of new objects per frames. I could write pages on this - and if there is a relevant topic for it, I might. -,but this is the main part of it. 5. Be aware of smaller performance traps. Text rendering is one like that. Changing alpha value of a canvas again is. Doing translations is once again. (Better buffer both of these on a hidden canvas in a loading stage, and keep the alpha intact!). Do not use console.log on mobile versions, they will just throw exceptions sometimes multiple times per frames. What you started with is true: aim for the lowest amount of redraws and clears every frame. Find tricks to average these out and manage them that way instead of having busy and calm periods. I am right now at the end of my canvas "patience". I still love this little tech, but I am at a point where I am looking at just porting all that to webGL. Canvas support will stay in the game just in case, but it is clearly not going to be flawless on low-end mobiles for a few more years. It is going to be "fine" in better-than-average mobiles, average or better tablets and excellent on iPads/iPhones, viable on most modern desktop PC's. But you have to be careful about the resource uses.

The Christie Station Fire Subway Diversion (October 15-17, 1976)
(Last Modified on May 7, 2020 8:42 PM)
Text by James Bow
On October 15, 1976, near the end of the service day, an arsonist set fire to a bundle of newspapers in an empty car at the end of a train heading eastbound on the BLOOR-DANFORTH subway. When the fire was detected by the crew, the train was stopped at Christie station and everyone on board evacuated. The fire burned out of control and did tremendous damage to the train and Christie station. Ten passengers and three TTC employees had to be taken to hospital.
It took two days for over 200 TTC personnel to repair the damage to the station and clear the debris. During that time, subway service was shut down between St. George and Ossington station, forcing the TTC to rely on shuttle buses to ferry passengers between the two segments. This was one of the first times the TTC had to replace subway service for such an extended period of time. Richard Glaze and other photographers were on hand to capture a number of scenes over these two days as many buses plied the route.

PARKER CENTER
THE UCH DIFFERENCE
You are here: United Church Homes > Notes from the CEO > Transforming Aging Through Education, Innovation
Transforming Aging Through Education, Innovation
The Ruth Frost Parker Center for Abundant Aging was launched in 2016 to recognize United Church Homes' most generous benefactor and to create a learning and teaching center where professionals, caregivers, ministers and others can work together to improve the quality of life for older adults.
The late Ruth Frost Parker, a business and church leader from Sandusky, Ohio, gave generously to United Church Homes over the years. Her generosity supported educational scholarships, leadership development and capital improvements, especially to Parkvue Community in Sandusky.
At the center's second annual Symposium that was held Oct. 20 in Columbus, United Church Homes leaders and experts in the fields of gerontology, healthcare and geriatrics discussed Abundant Aging in the 21st Century.
Keynote speaker Dr. Laura Carstensen, a longevity and aging expert, professor of psychology at Stanford University and founding director of the Stanford Center on Longevity in Stanford, California, enlightened the crowd by debunking myths and misconceptions about aging.
For example, she discussed the ideas that growing older is associated with loneliness and unhappiness, and that only the genetically blessed live well and long. Instead, Dr. Carstensen said seniors today are living longer, healthier and more productive lives than previous generations. She also said there are psychological and emotional benefits to growing older. She helped us see how this phenomenon is changing the way we view older adults, support them and continue to integrate their wisdom and needs into our society.
The mission of United Church Homes — to transform Aging by building a culture of community, wholeness and peace — demands we must change the way we think about aging.
Given the changes in the area of aging services and the rising number of older adults, United Church Homes' Parker Center seeks to educate the public and provide intellectual dialogue about older adults, the opportunities available to them, the challenges they face as they age and the impact longevity has on their lives.
By gathering thought leaders like Dr. Carstensen and others whose work impacts various aspects of elder living — physical, social and spiritual — we can provide a safe place for interprofessional dialogue and plan future efforts that create age-affirming communities and supportive services.

Groups representing GPs have urged the profession not to vote for all-out opposition to the Health Bill at a BMA special representative meeting in London next week.
The emergency meeting, on 15 March, will debate the NHS reforms and shape the BMA's response to the Health Bill.
GP leaders from the BMA, the NHS Alliance, the Family Doctor Association (FDA) and the National Association of Primary Care (NAPC) called for GPs to try to influence the reforms, not block them.
Former RCGP chairman Professor Steve Field, who chairs a DoH stakeholder board that brings together leading GPs, said 'working and talking through issues is far better than standing up and threatening'.
His call comes as momentum against the Health Bill continues to build ahead of the BMA meeting.
A BMA poll last week found widespread opposition to the reforms among doctors. A regional BMA meeting in London last month rejected the Bill 'in its entirety', and some BMA members plan 'days of action' to disrupt the reforms.
Professor Field said GPs who have been calling for clinical commissioning for years are 'feeling pushed to one side'.
NHS Alliance chairman Dr Michael Dixon said opposing the whole Health Bill would be 'both inept and wrong'. 'GP commissioning is the best opportunity that will ever be given to general practice,' he said.
Last week, under pressure from the BMA, health secretary Andrew Lansley agreed to change the Health Bill so providers cannot compete on price.
GPC chairman Dr Laurence Buckman said the decision showed what talking with government could achieve. 'I ask those who want all-out opposition, what does that mean? We think we have to keep on talking to the government,' he said.
He warned the reforms 'will not go away' if the BMA takes a more aggressive stance.
FDA chairman Dr Peter Swinyard said if GPs do not help implement the reforms 'we will lose all the chances we have to improve services'.
NAPC chairman Dr Johnny Marshall said GPs' concerns will be heard if they 'aim to improve quality'. 'Price competition is a good example - we said we don't want it because it compromises quality,' he said.

The human being wishes to achieve nearness to the Creator through prayer. But Satan tries with all his faculties and stratagems to create hurdles in the way of the person's progress towards the goal. This he does to satisfy his instinct of jealousy. Satan is such an accursed creature that if he is unable to cause major impediments to the efforts of the person, he will satisfy himself even with small disturbances to the man. For example, if Satan is unable to turn a person into an infidel or hypocrite, he will satisfy himself with making the person commit lesser sins.
If man becomes proud and conceited, he will become a partner of Satan!
This wish of Satan too was also granted. In granting this wish Allah (S.w.T.) had a strategy in view.
Hadrat Adam (a.s.) beseeched Allah (S.w.T.) thus, 'O Creator! You have not only provided respite to this formidable enemy of my progeny till the Day of Judgment, you have also given him faculty to cause fears and temptations in the hearts of poor progeny! They will be helpless at the mercy of Satan!
Whenever Satan creates doubts in the hearts of men, the angels inspire virtue in their heart. Satan says, 'Don't go to the mosque!' The angel encourages the person to go there. Satan encourages the person to commit certain sins that he can make reparation later on. The angel says that the person might die before he expresses his repentance for the sins. And even if he expresses repentance there is no guarantee of acceptance by Allah (S.w.T.).
Give attention to your own hearts! Whether there are thoughts of good or of evil in your heart, you will always have doubts about these thoughts! When Satan upbraids you to commit a sinful act, the angels guide you against it. If Satan tries to prevent you from doing a good turn, the angels encourage you to go ahead with it.
All the people of the previous epochs had the doors of repentance open for them. But the conditions for acceptance of their penitence were very severe. It is the felicity of the presence of the Last of Prophets (a.s.) that his people, who are called the Ummat al-Marhooma (The Nation Dealt with Mercy), have a very wide door for repentance available to them. This concession is because their Prophet (S) is Rahmat lil Aalameen (A Mercy for All the Worlds) and Tauba, and its acceptance, too is one of the aspects of blessing.
Bihar al-Anwār, volume three, quotes a tradition of the Prophet (S)," Every person who repents for his past sins one year before his death, will be pardoned." Then said, "One year is too long a period. If a person repents for his sins a month before his death, he may be pardoned." The Prophet (S) further added, "One month too is rather a long period. If the person repents a day prior to his death, his sins might be pardoned." The Prophet (S) then said, "A day too is a long time. If the person repents at the moment of death, in the Barzakh (the Purgatory) or before Izrael looks into his eyes, the person might be pardoned by Allah (S.w.T.)." It proves that if a Muslim repents even while he is dying, he stands a chance of getting pardoned for his sins.
Blessed is the heart that is busy in the Remembrance of Allah (S.w.T.). Can the Blessing be more encompassing than what the Ummat al-Marhooma has been endowed with. Despite the evil presence of Satan and his temptations to men to commit sins, Allah (S.w.T.)'s Blessings are unfathomable!
Al-'ajab kul al-ajab, man najaa kaifa najaa?
The most amazing thing is the one who gets saved; how does he get saved?
It is very surprising that man escapes from the clutches of the powerful Iblīs.
Al-'ajab kul al-ajab, man halaka kaifa halaka?
The most amazing thing is the one who gets ruined; how does he get ruined?
After spending a long life the time for departure has come nigh. Perhaps it is the kindness of Allah (S.w.T.) that men get afflicted with disease and remain in this stage for some time before death. In this time they prepare themselves to meet their Creator. This is, perhaps, the reason that sudden deaths are considered a calamity. One who remains in the deathbed for a period, say a month, and doesn't awake to the fact and forgets to express penitence for his past sins before dying will be a very unfortunate person.


.aware is dead and frankly, it has been for quite some time. I want to keep it as a fond memory instead of turning more and more alien to something I once cared for, so very deeply. Do not mourn the content, the internet never forgets. Do not mourn me, I am happy where I am.

There are many people who think they have mastered the basic principles and by following certain habits they can be very successful. This might be true only up to a point but the habits of successful people must be underpinned by adherence to a few important, universal truths.
For achieving success in life, you must have a clear vision of what actually you want. This is the picture that you need to keep at the top of your mind and make efforts accordingly. Do something that you want to do and do it till you succeed in doing it.
It is very important that you have believe in your abilities and that you will succeed. It is because believing is a great power that can help you to get what you want. Therefore, stay away from negative influences that can make you doubt your ability to succeed.
You must know that your future is your own responsibility and the outcome you will have, will be solely based on the efforts that you will make. Therefore, if any mistake happens then don't blame others for it. Instead, see what you did wrong and how the problem can be fixed.
Positive affirmations are very important if you want to achieve your goals. Speak to your own self that you can achieve what you have in mind and if you cannot say that aloud, write them down on a paper.
Whenever you decide to reach your goals, stay committed to what you have in mind. Once you honor the commitment that you have made, you will find it easier to keep them and it will help you succeed in life.
One of the most important principles that can help you achieve success in life is not to give up until you have achieved what you desire. Some parts of your plan may not work but do not lose hope, instead, be willing to attain that in a different manner.
Giving others is also an important element that can help you succeed in your goals. Whatever dreams that you have, be willing to help others when they need it. You never know who will and what will connect you to your goals.

The DOE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications focusing on basic research in computer science that explores innovative approaches to creating distributed resilient systems for science. Such systems might be national or global in scale, linking geographically-distributed computing systems and scientific instruments, and might involve a large number of edge devices or sensors, but regardless, must manage computation and data in scalable and fault-tolerant manner. Important research challenges involve techniques for advanced middleware and operating and runtime systems, with this FOA targeting two research areas: 1) scalable system modeling, and 2) adaptive management and partitioning of resources. Advances in these areas will contribute to scaling-up our increasingly complex and interconnected scientific enterprise.
Research Areas Each pre-application and application must propose research that addresses one or both of the following research areas: 1. Scalable system modeling: The computational modeling of large, distributed systems is an important tool in understanding their behavior, both in normal operations1 and under anomalous conditions. Scaling these models on state-of-the-art computing systems to capture the scale of envisioned distributed scientific workflows and infrastructure is challenging [8]. Moreover, the kinds of system properties, including performance and resilience properties, and thus the associated requirements on system models, may be different for different scientific workflows. Pre-applications and applications addressing research on system modeling must describe the unknown system properties on which the model will provide insight, outline specific metrics and targets for those metrics reasonably necessary to provide the desired insight, and explain why it is reasonable to believe that the proposed approach, if successful, will reach or exceed those targets. 2. Adaptive management and partitioning of resources: Scheduling complex workflows on a single system, especially when the resources required for the workflow vary with time and/or the system provides heterogeneous resources, is a challenging endeavor. The scheduling and managing of resources across many systems for complex workflows provides even greater challenges. Moreover, the middleware and runtime and operating systems managing the execution, data movement, and other aspects of both the running and waiting workflows must simultaneously scale to support multiple large systems and be resilient to failures. The protocols and algorithms may include a combination of selfmonitoring and self-healing capabilities, but regardless, must have well-characterized stability properties in the face of uncertain operating conditions. Applications proposing research in this area must describe specific unknowns in the construction of middleware and/or runtime or operating systems achieving these goals and explain why it is reasonable to believe that the proposed approach, if successful, will shed light on those unknowns.

21C Reinvents Space, Adds More Dining Options
By Greg Horton
21C Museum Hotel recently opened Bodega, a coffee-shop-meets-bistro, to guests and walk-ins, and it will open a pool bar soon.
Mary Eddy's in the 21C Museum Hotel has always had great food, but the 6,100-square-foot space made it difficult to seat and serve efficiently. Seating was available from the bar to the very back of main dining, about a football field away, and the main dining space — a former manufacturing facility floor — was spacious in a way that made warm ambience an impossibility.
"The space was too large, too cold," said Alberto Abreu, the hotel's general manager. "We wanted smaller, warmer spaces, and we wanted to be front-facing for our community."
That community is the West Village complex that sits on the hotel's east and south sides, and Hall Capital has been developing a community that includes 21C, Jones Assembly, Stitch Cafe, the apartments and mixed-use space. The temporary closure of 21C due to COVID offered up the perfect opportunity to pivot, and instead of offering one cavernous, sprawling space, the team of designers and hoteliers came up with four separate concepts — from very casual to fine dining — that best utilized the space for hotel guests and community neighbors.
"We have roughly 900 neighbors down here, and we needed more food options," Abreu said. "What we had was already excellent, but the period from 3 p.m. to dinner was pretty dead."
The new Mary Eddy's reopened to much-deserved fanfare in October last year, after a very successful pop-up called Palm Lounge — elements of which will remain on various menus — but the rest of the space remained under construction. Mary Eddy's remains a dinner-only concept with an excellent bar, but a full-service hotel needs more comprehensive dining options, and Bodega is the first new concept to emerge after Mary Eddy's.
"This is the first concept in the 21C family to offer full coffee service," said Melanie Briley, director of sales and marketing for the hotel. "In that sense, we're a test run for the larger company. Every 21C has a great restaurant attached, but when people visit a boutique hotel, they want excellent coffee too, so we're very excited to provide this at Bodega."
The coffee-shop-meets-bistro aesthetic creates a warm, comfortable atmosphere that encourages guests to hang out, work, meet with friends and enjoy a full breakfast menu as well as grab-and-go options like a smoked pork burrito and pastrami sandwich. In fact, Bodega will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week, and the hotel now has a direct entrance to the space on Fred Jones Boulevard on the hotel's east side.
"We knew we needed to add a front-facing door to the apartments," Abreu said. "If we want to welcome in the community, we had to have an entrance that wasn't just the hotel's main entrance."
Sometime between July 19 and 21, the pool bar is expected to open. This space is the bulk of the old main dining and the bar seating that faced the open kitchen. Abreu said he expects the pool bar to be a popular choice at night and on weekends. There will be full cocktail service with a menu different from Mary Eddy's, as well as a third menu that will focus on burgers, wings, sandwiches and other elevated bar food. Some of the menu items were pulled from the old Palm Lounge menu. Nathan Cover, one of the city's young, rockstar bartenders, will be bar manager.
Both Bodega and the pool bar will be counter service, fast casual concepts, a model that makes staffing much more manageable during the current staffing crisis. It also reflects an intentional plan to create more casual, community-accessible spaces in the hotel. The pipe dream of any boutique hotel is that it becomes a destination for the local community and not just guests. With the three dining concepts, and the soon-to-be-completed pool, 21C has a chance to actually make that dream real.

One of my favorite things to do is to arrange music specifically for clients. Listen to my audio files for a couple of examples of songs that I have arranged for the wedding ceremonies of individual clients.
It was a pleasure to have Robert play at our wedding. He was on time, professional, extremely helpful before the big day, and his music was beautiful. It was the perfect addition to our day. Robert played at both the ceremony and reception and everything was flawless. I am so glad we picked Robert. Thank you for making our day perfect!
The sound of the classical guitar can provide the perfect atmosphere of elegance and intimacy for a wedding ceremony, dinner, wine tasting, or any other event. I enjoy working with clients to make sure the music is exactly what they want for their event.
Wedding Ceremonies are a particular interest of mine. I have been performing music for wedding ceremonies for more than 20 years, and I find it to be among the most rewarding and interesting work I do. Every wedding is as unique as the couple themselves, and I find the entire process of preparation for a wedding to be very satisfying. From working with the couple as they choose the ceremony music to the actual performance of the music on the couple's special day, I enjoy the whole process. It's always an honor to be able to help to create exactly the ambiance that a couple wants for their wedding.
Robert Brown, originally from Springfield, Ohio, studied at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, where he earned his Bachelor of Music degree, and at Southern Methodist University, where he earned his Master of Music degree. During these years, he earned a number of awards in international guitar competitions, most notably first prize at the Portland International Solo Guitar Competition in 1994. Robert has performed concerts on three continents as a soloist.
Robert lives with his wife and two children in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he serves as adjunct professor of guitar at the College of Mount St. Joseph, and teaches guitar at St. Ursula Academy. In addition to concerts and recitals, he also performs frequently for wedding ceremonies and other events, and since 2006 has been playing music for Saturday afternoon tea at the Orchids at Palm Court restaurant in the Hilton Cincinnati Netherland Plaza.
The only thing I need is a working electrical outlet. I bring everything else with me, including all sound reinforcement equipment.


Calc 4.4.0.3 (PortableApps version): when you copy and then paste a row, it doesn't paste the row height.
Column pasting works as always.
- the row height is not changed.
An additional observation: Copying a COMPLETE SHEET containing changed row heights and then pasting it into another sheet will correctly also paste the row heights.
Use group-area listeners during copy & paste if we can.
replicating tons of formula cells down the column.
Isn't that expected behavior ?
If the row height is explicitly set, then it no longer automatically adjusts.
If the row is set to optimal height, this removes the explicit setting, and it should adjust automatically to whatever changes in content.
With the explicit setting removed, doesn't the row height adjust automatically to the new content ?
difference between high and highest and severity is untouched.
Speed up pasting of single row onto multiple destination rows.
Arul committed a patch related to this issue.
Seems to be fixed in master.


When you are involved in any kind of legal dispute with regard to personal matters, including divorce, support, visitation or other, who you select to represent you is of critical importance. Many large law firms are extremely impersonal and you may rarely, if ever, speak to your attorney, but will be handled by a paralegal or other staff member.
As a former litigator in a large law firm as well as a former judicial law clerk, I have a lot of insight into the legal process and how to navigate the system on behalf of my clients. I take pride in my personal approach to cases, and understand just how important it is to those involved. As the outcome of the case will likely affect you for years to come, I will carefully prepare your case, whether a hotly contested divorce, prenuptial or other crucial matter, and my attention to detail and comprehensive understanding of the law will stand you in good stead.
Each case is as different as the people involved. Some can amicably end a marriage, while others suffer undue stress due to communication problems or even vindictive behavior. I carefully manage your case from the moment you become my client. I firmly believe that everyone deserves quality legal counsel, without overly expensive costs. I provide a free ½ consultation to those who wish to discuss their family law matter and determine how I will proceed on their behalf.

Vitamin D & Calcium Fail to Reduce Fractures
The Natural Medicine Journal reviewed a JAMA paper that analyzed 33 randomized clinical trials on the effects of Vit D and calcium on fractures. The results were quite surprising to a public that's been lead to believe that Vit D is the next best thing to sliced bread. Oh, wait, bread is also out of favor now isn't it? It seems like everything is being called into question these days. And that's as it should be.
The 33 trials that included 51,145 older than 50 years found:
No significant association of calcium or vitamin D with risk of hip fracture compared with placebo or no treatment.
No significant association of combined calcium and vitamin D with hip fracture compared with placebo or no treatment.
No significant associations between calcium, vitamin D, or combined calcium and vitamin D supplements and the incidence of nonvertebral, vertebral, or total fractures.
They concluded that the use of supplements of calcium, vitamin D, or both was not associated with a lower risk of fractures among older adults. These findings are the opposite of what practitioners of all persuasions have been telling people to do to prevent fractures!
The Natural Medicine Journal noted that recent reports suggest high doses of vitamin D increase the risk of falls in the elderly. Because of this risk a warning was published in the Nat Rev Endocrinol, Nov 2016 that vitamin D daily doses should not exceed 3,000 IU and serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D should not exceed 40-45 ng/mL in elderly individuals. I've recommended staying below 2,000 IU of Vit D per day and accepting 40 ng/mL as an effective level of 25-OH-D.
Even worse than Vit D and calcium not preventing fractures was the finding that the hip fracture risk tended to increase with calcium or vitamin D supplementation. The naturopath who wrote the Natural Medicine Journal article reminded readers that naturopaths do recommend vitamin K2 and strontium citrate in addition to the calcium and vitamin D. But he didn't even mention magnesium!
Here is an excerpt from The Magnesium Miracle (2017):
Susan Brown, Ph.D., director of the Osteoporosis Education Project in Syracuse, New York, warns that "the use of calcium supplementation in the face of magnesium deficiency can lead to a deposition of calcium in the soft tissue such as the joints, promoting arthritis, or in the kidney, contributing to kidney stones."[i] Dr. Brown recommends a daily dose of only 450 mg of magnesium for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.
Women with osteoporosis have lower-than-average levels of magnesium in their diets, according to survey reports. Magnesium deficiency can compromise calcium metabolism and also hinder the body's production of vitamin D, further weakening bones.
The following shows magnesium's multifactorial role in bone health:
*Adequate levels of magnesium are essential for the absorption and metabolism of calcium.
*Magnesium stimulates a particular hormone, calcitonin, that helps to preserve bone structure and draws calcium out of the blood and soft tissues back into the bones, preventing some forms of arthritis and kidney stones.
*Magnesium suppresses another bone hormone called parathyroid, preventing it from breaking down bone.
*Magnesium converts vitamin D into its active form so that it can help calcium absorption.
*Magnesium is required to activate an enzyme that is necessary to form new bone.
*Magnesium regulates active calcium transport.
*It is also important to mention that vitamin K2 plays an important role is helping direct calcium to the bones where it belongs.
With all these roles for magnesium to play, it is no wonder that even a mild deficiency can be a risk factor for osteoporosis. Furthermore, if there is too much calcium in the body, especially from calcium supplementation, magnesium absorption can be greatly impaired, resulting in worsening osteoporosis and the likelihood of kidney stones, arthritis, and heart disease as well as gall stones, heel spurs, and breast tissue calcification.
Most people, including MDs, do not understand the importance of balancing calcium and magnesium at the cellular level. Calcium cannot build bones or prevent osteoporosis without adequate levels of magnesium. It's as simple as that. If our bones are made entirely from calcium, they become brittle and can shatter, just like a stick of calcium carbonate chalk falling on the sidewalk. However, with the right percentage of magnesium, bone has the proper density and matrix that actually makes it flexible and more resistant to shattering. I'm afraid many elderly people are suffering bone fractures because they have too much calcium and not enough magnesium.

Here are some innovative uses for electronic qualified signatures.
E-justice systems should speed up communication between courts and other parties (lawyers, notaries and collection agencies) involved in legal proceedings. For example, data could be transmitted to the register court in this way. In order for the simplified access to courts and authorities to be kept legally secure, communication is safeguarded via our qualified signature.
Use of the qualified electronic signature provides the following benefits: Electronic exchange of documents and therefore easy further processing, protected communication, faster mailing route 24/7 and the associated cost benefits to you.
You can find more information on the pages of the EGVP portal.
Certain goods require corresponding supporting documents across the entire transport route, which must be signed by various units (creator, transporter, etc.) during transit. Qualified signatures can help save time and costs in these situations, in that the accompanying papers are mapped electronically and be provided with qualified signatures by those involved. Thus, mail transit times can be saved when it comes to obtaining special authorizations. In addition, paper archiving can be saved on and finding older documents can be simplified. Electronic waste consignment documents are specific variants of this.
In the maintenance and testing areas, reports are created that are used as proof of the services provided. In the case of systems with regular maintenance, there is a particularly large number of paper documents which must be archived and handed over to the new owner when forwarded/sold. By using the qualified signature, provision of proof is significantly simplified and cost benefits are created.

Q: Laravel email notification blade component is not rendering properly My Laravel email notification prints blade component names instead of html element names in the output. Example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

<:message style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; position: relative;">

# Hi,

<:button :url="$actionUrl" :color="$color" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; position: relative;">
Open
</:button>

See ya!

<subcopy style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; position: relative;">
If you're having trouble clicking the "Open" button, copy and paste the URL below
into your web browser: [http://localhost:3000/](http://localhost:3000/)
</subcopy>
</:message>

As you can see, there is a <:message> and a <:button> component in the output, but they should probably have been replaced with some html.
How can I fix this? I've tried publishing the notification views but that doesn't do anything. This is Laravel 9.
Edit
I understand there must be something wrong with my app, but I can reproduce this issue by doing the following (in my app):

*

*Generate a new notification with php artisan make:notification MyNotification --markdown=emails.my-notification.

*In routes/web.php, add:

Route::get("/test-notification", function () {
    return (new \App\Notifications\MyNotification)->toMail(new \App\User);
});

The output when visiting /test-notification in a browser is (if you view the source of the page):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">

<:message style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; position: relative;">
# Introduction

The body of your message.

<:button :url="''" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol'; position: relative;">
Button Text
</:button>

Thanks,

Laravel
</:message>

However, if I follow those two steps in a fresh Laravel 9 application, the output instead is:

So somewhere in my application, the resolution of blade components in markdown emails is disabled. I have run artisan view:clear to clear the cache. Maybe there are other caches in play?
I can also pinpoint that this problem was introduced when I upgraded Laravel from 9.34.0 to 9.35.0. I.e., with 9.34.0 the components resolve just fine, but in 9.35.0 and onwards I get the behavior described above.

A: This is embarrassing, but I will own my mistake in the hope it helps someone else. In an edit to my question I wrote

So somewhere in my application, the resolution of blade components in markdown emails is disabled.

Turns out I actually have this in my AppServiceProvider:
class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function boot()
    {
        // ...

        Blade::withoutComponentTags();

        // ...
    }

    // ...
}

So yeah, I explicitly disabled blade component tags and then forgot about it... Sorry for wasting your time.

A:
To display a component, you may use a Blade component tag within one
of your Blade templates. Blade component tags start with the string x-
followed by the kebab case name of the component class:
<x-button/>

<x-user-profile/>

If the component class is nested deeper within the app/View/Components
directory, you may use the . character to indicate directory nesting.
For example, if we assume a component is located at
app/View/Components/Inputs/Button.php, we may render it like so:
<x-inputs.button/>

Solution for grave dilemma
A DISPUTE over a graveyard in Ellesmere Port could soon be resolved.
The untidy state of the grounds at the old Christ Church upset a woman whose parents are buried there and sparked a row over who is responsible for their up-keep.
But Ellesmere Port Probation Service has expressed an interest in taking responsibility for the maintenance of the graveyard, which is owned by the YMCA.
If the idea was agreed, male offenders based at the hostel on John Street would take on the work to put something back into the community.
Probation services case manager Dennis Mahar said:
'It's a good idea and there is definite interest from us as we already do similar things and there are a lot of positives that can be gained.
'At the moment though it only remains a possibility as it all depends on protocol so I don't want to commit to anything until we have a better idea in the coming weeks.'
A YMCA spokesman said: 'Subject to an assessment of the grounds by ourselves and the Probation Service, it looks like the scheme can go ahead.'

Q: Jquery função .data Alguém me consegue esclarecer ou explicar me a diferença entre estas duas situações
$.data(this, 'timer')

Ou
$(this).data('timer');

A: Fazem a mesma coisa. O jQuery permite fazer a mesma coisa de maneiras diferentes, este é um bom exemplo disso.
Na documentação confirma-se isso:

Wearing a black ribbon on her head, Karishma Manandhar has joined the protest against the government. The protest against the government is going on for the last week when the government failed to comply with the agreement reached between the government and the film artists, last month. Karishma was one of the artists arrested on 17th January, 2013 in Kathamndu after the protesting film artists tried to lock Film Development Board office.
Karishma looked stunning in blue jeans and white sweater over a black t-shirt on January 17. On January 14th protest she was wearing a blue sweater.
The participation in the protest on January 14 was the first public appearance of the actress after returning from the USA.


sometimes I see a cool looking emblem and I sat " hey look how cool that is, I want to see it in a full view. let me just click on the name of the guy and.... oh wait I forgot it stays the same size" theres like a big open space to the right like utilise it. I know this isn't a big deal. but I'm like come in you put the emblem creator in and you can get cool stuff from that. just thought I'd say something because no one else (that I've seen) has. keep up the good work with everything else.
Interesting idea. Or they could create other ways to show off our flashy emblems on which we really spend sometimes a lot of time creating. Also in Tournament it should be like the team emblem on that VERSUS screen should be a smaller emblem next to our full size personal emblems going against the other guy from the other team.
Definitely been passed along before. In fact I just brought it up last week about the larger emblem options, and I can bring it up to the team once more!

Hitchcock's granddaughter recalls his love of…
Hitchcock's granddaughter recalls his love of Bay Area and Santa Cruz
By Mercury News | migration@dfmdev.com |
PUBLISHED: October 11, 2008 at 7:42 a.m. | UPDATED: August 14, 2016 at 3:19 a.m.
Tere O'Connell Carrubba is Alfred Hitchcock's granddaughter. Her spacious house, overlooking the ocean in Aptos, south of Santa Cruz, is filled with pictures of Hitch. In one set of framed photos, the director hoists Tere (pronounced "Terry") and her older sister, Mary, into the air. In their gingham dresses, they're cute as buttons. And the master of suspense looks like a regular grandfather.
Carrubba, daughter of Patricia Hitchcock O'Connell (the director's only child), grew up near Hitchcock in Los Angeles. But she also spent a lot of time with Hitchcock and his wife, Alma, at their Scotts Valley ranch, in the hills just outside Santa Cruz, with a spectacular view of Monterey Bay. The Hitchcocks purchased it in 1940, and it remained their getaway for about three decades.
I asked Carrubba, 54, to explain her grandfather's fascination with the Bay Area and Northern California. After all, many of Hitchcock's films — from "Rebecca" (1940) to "Family Plot" (1976) — were filmed in this region, which he described as having a magical quality. He particularly loved San Francisco, calling it a great place to set a murder mystery namely "Vertigo," released 50 years ago.
Q Can you explain your grandfather's connection to the Bay Area?
A He always liked it, especially San Francisco. It kind of reminded him of European cities, I think; it had that kind of flavor. And Scotts Valley, that's where he and my grandmother went to relax. They weren't a typical Hollywood couple. They didn't go to parties. Some of the people they made movies with would become friends, so Grace Kelly and her husband would come visit them in Scotts Valley. Ingrid Bergman, too.
Q How often were you in Scotts Valley as a child?
A We used to come up here all the time for holidays and summers. My grandparents were really good at bringing their granddaughters up for visits.
Q What would you do during your visits?
A Kid stuff. We'd play games — a few badminton games with our grandfather, which was interesting.
Q He didn't have an athlete's physique.
A No. He fell only once.
Q At badminton?
A Yes.
Q What else did he enjoy about life in Scotts Valley?
A He could be himself. He was an avid reader, so he would do a lot of reading while he was here. And he loved classical music, and he played his music really loud.
Q Can you describe the property?
A Large. There was a porch where he liked to sit, surrounded by redwoods. And there was a winery. And my grandmother had a horse, a palomino, named "Rhythm."
And do you know how my grandparents got here? Often they would drive, a 71/2-hour trip in those days. My grandmother would drive. They'd pack a picnic, and they'd actually pull over to the side of the road to have their sandwiches.
Q Your grandfather didn't drive?
A Never.
Q Why?
A He was afraid of the police.
Q How do people react when they find out Alfred Hitchcock was your grandfather?
A Most people say, "Oh, he must have been scary." But he actually had a really great sense of humor.
You know, as I got older, after "The Birds" and "Psycho," his popularity really sky-rocketed. One time he came up to my high school (in Los Angeles) for an event, and everyone was asking him for autographs; he never turned down an autograph, unless he was eating a meal. Anyway, I remember saying to him, "God, grandpa, doesn't that drive you nuts?" And he said, "I would be nothing without these people."
Q How often did you see him?
A We saw him at least once a week and on holidays. All the time when I was growing up.
Q What were family meals like in Scotts Valley?
A Usually we'd eat at the house. Sometimes we'd go to Stagnaro's — he loved fresh fish. So we'd go down to the Santa Cruz wharf, and they would take us somewhere for ice cream, too.
Q And in San Francisco?
A He loved Ernie's Restaurant (which Hitchcock included in "Vertigo"). It was one of those old-time, elegant restaurants with the red velvet walls. He kept his own wines in the cellar.
Q Is "Vertigo" one of your favorite Hitchcock films?
A I've seen it a lot.
Q Well?
A I like "Vertigo." After they re-mastered it a few years ago, I went with my mother; we did the film's European tour with Kim Novak.
Q What was that like?
A Oh, my God. They loved her. She was revered wherever she went. She's still very pretty and a nice woman. She was traveling, I think, with her granddaughter.
Q So what are your favorite Hitchcock movies?
A I like "The Birds." I remember being on the set (in Sonoma County). We got to be fairly good friends with Tippi Hedren.
Q Is anyone in your family in the movie business?
A My younger sister's a lawyer for DreamWorks. That's about as close as any of us got to the movies.

Chhota Bheem to go the 'Aladdin', 'Jungle Book' way (Lead)
Published on : Wed 01st May 2019, 06:24 PM
By Natalia Ningthoujam
New Delhi, May 1 (IANS) Chhota Bheem has been one of the favourite Indian cartoon characters among children since the launch of a series on it in 2008. Now it's set to have its own musical soon and a live action film in the coming years, says Rajiv Chilaka who conceptualised the character.
"After our animation movie ('Chhota Bheem Kung Fu Dhamaka') releases on May 10, we will have the exact date of the live action musical. As of now, we are looking at doing the stage show in 6-7 Indian cities.
"The cast and costumes are more or less finalised. We are kind of ready to go," Chilaka, CEO and Founder of Green Gold Animation, and director of "Chhota Bheem Kung Fu Dhamaka", told IANS in a telephonic interview.
A live action film on Chhota Bheem and his friends who explore and protect the village of Dholakpur is also being planned.
"In two-three years, we would like to do a live action film with the character (Chhota Bheem) and have a worldwide release. Right now, animated movies are getting made into live action movies, like 'Aladdin' is coming up. 'Cinderella' and 'The Jungle Book' have been made. We are glad that we have so many stories that we can make into live action movies," he said.
"We have done some experiments in '…Kung Fu Dhamaka'. In the end of the movie, there is a song — the title track — sung by Daler Mehndi. Its video will have animated characters dancing with Daler," he said.
For now, Chilaka is looking forward to the release of "…Kung Fu Dhamaka", which is set in China. In the film, Bheem and his friends set out on an adventure in the Land of the Dragon to participate in the biggest Kung Fu competition in the world.
"We are looking at releasing it in 450-500 screens in India. It will be released in English and Hindi," said Chilaka.
"We are also planning to release it in the Middle East. China takes a little time. Once the film releases in India, we will be screening it for them and will decide the appropriate time for release," he said.
The film will hit the Indian screens along with "Student Of The Year 2" and "Pokemon: Detective Pikachu".
"Animation is always a tricky market. But we know our film is really good and we have done a fantastic job. I am confident (of the film's success)," he said.
Chhota Bheem also has merchandise and shows apart from movies.
On the character's success, he said: "He has roots in Indian culture. Even the storytelling is about India and it automatically connects with the Indian audience. We show moral values and simple things, like touching feet of elders and celebrating Indian festivals."
