Q: Printing pages from 7 to 17 by lpr How can you print pages from 7 to 17 by lpr?

A: Masi, the command IS documented on your Ubuntu box, in the online-help for CUPS. Visit
http://localhost:631/help/options.html?TOPIC=Getting+Started&QUERY=#PAGERANGES
to see what I mean.

A: lpr -P myprinter -o page-ranges=7-17

where myprinter is the name of your printer

A: man lp has the -P option for page range:
    -P page-list
        Specifies which pages to print in the document.  The list can contain a list of numbers and ranges  (#-#)  separated  by  commas,
        e.g.,  "1,3-5,16".   The  page numbers refer to the output pages and not the document's original pages - options like "number-up"
        can affect the numbering of the pages.

Here is a full command I use often:
lp -P 5-22 -o media=A4 -o number-up=2 -o sides=two-sided-long-edge -o fit-to-page R-ints.pdf

Penguins rally from down 3-0 to end Islanders' streak at 10
By James O'BrienNov 7, 2019, 9:57 PM EST
The New York Islanders didn't end Thursday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins empty-handed, but the Islanders didn't get the win.
Despite starting the third period with a 3-0 lead, the Islanders couldn't keep their outstanding winning streak going. It concluded at 10 consecutive wins, as the Penguins scored three times in the third period (over a span of just 7:10) and then clutch Bryan Rust scored the OT-winner, pushing the Penguins to that 4-3 OT victory.
On one hand, it stinks for the Islanders to lose to a divisional rival in the Penguins, even if Isles fans still have the recent trash-talking point of that first-round sweep. A dazzling Matt Murray save showed how close the Islanders were to making it go to 11.
On the other hand, the Islanders managed to draw a point out of the proceedings, so now they're 10-0-1 in their last 11 games. If there's bitterness in seeing it all end beyond regulation – one can almost hear the "they're still undefeated at real hockey" gripes – three of the Islanders' first four wins during the streak happened beyond regulation (two in OT, one in a shootout).
It would likely be unfair to put too much blame on Semyon Varlamov for this loss. While the Penguins punctured him late in the game, maybe there was an element of it being a matter of time until Pittsburgh broke through, as they generated a 39-23 shots on goal advantage, and had more SOG in each period.
The Islanders have often controlled quality (high-danger chances) while giving up quantity (shot volume) during that 10-game streak, but the Penguins applied a lot of pressure, taking an 11-6 high-danger chance advantage at 5-on-5, according to Natural Stat Trick.
So … it has to sting for Barry Trotz to see his defensive system yield a loss after the Islanders built a 3-0 lead, but when the Islanders zoom out, they might see some silver lining.
They also get a chance to avenge this loss. The Islanders will have a home-and-home series (at Pittsburgh on Nov. 19, home on Nov. 21) to get back at the Penguins for ending this historic streak.

Borders, Mobilities, and Governance in Transnational Perspective
Richard Staring and René van Swaaningen
Despite the dominant notion that people are now allegedly living in the "era of globalization," accompanied by rosy stories about a "global village," borders have never lost their significance. On the contrary, the importance of borders has grown significantly under recent global and European crises. Not only have the number of borders increased, but borders also have become fluid as they moved outside national territories in order to protect countries, as well as political and economic unions, against the perceived threats of transnational organized crime, pandemics, unwanted migration, and terrorism. This externalization of borders through (financial) support and bilateral agreements with other countries led to a relocation of borders far beyond the geographical borders of nation states. In addition, borders have been renewed, reinforced, (temporarily) reactivated, and transformed. Specific attention is paid to some developments surrounding borders, including a responsibilization process on border control, in which governments increasingly stimulate or enforce private parties to take up responsibility in controlling their companies, and ultimately their borders, with respect to irregular migration and crime. Borders are also embodied in different kinds of measures and policies of nation-states that guard access of welfare state provisions, and through the merging of criminal law and immigration law (i.e., crimmigration). Finally, the "border industry" means business for construction, infrastructure, biometrics, and identity technology companies, as well as for security forces, research institutes, aid organizations, and human smugglers. The commodification of borders is an ongoing process as envisioned not only in popular culture as music, literature, reality TV and movies, but also in borders that have become important touristic attractions. The framing of borders through this commodification process as inevitable and as a necessity in turn expresses and legitimates current state agendas.

Q: Replace Django Objects in a list with their corresponding id i have a list of django objects
a = [<ItemBatch: Iphone>, <ItemBatch: Iphone>, <ItemBatch: Iphone>]

Can I replace the objects with their id in ORM?
What I need:
a = [3,5,6]

How can I do that?

A: The primary key is stored in the pk attribute. You thus can just map it with their pk, for example with list comprehension:
a = [item.pk for item in a]
Or you could use attrgetter from operator, in combination with map and list:
from operator import attrgetter

a = list(map(attrgetter('pk'), a))

A: If you only need the id, maybe you can optimize the ORM Queryset to request only this information.
ItemBatch.objects.values_list('id', flat=True)

Along the bluffs just west of the Waterfront, the Mesa has come into its own as one of Santa Barbara´s premier neighborhoods. With some residences built in the 20s, the Mesa´s primary development took place after World War II when affordable tract homes for veterans were built. A large number of these original 1950s tract homes have since been rebuilt or beautifully remodeled to accentuate the vibrant Santa Barbara lifestyle the area affords today. Cap Code, Contemporary, Cottage, Ranch and Mediterranean are amongst some of the most popular new home designs.
Beach and outdoor lovers are directly in line with their passions on the Mesa. Shoreline Park, La Mesa Park, and the Douglas Preserve provide great beachfront gathering, walking and scenic venues. Two of Santa Barbara´s favorite beaches lie next to the Mesa, Leadbetter Beach and Henry´s Beach. Here local residents can be spotted sailing paragliding, kite boarding, windsurfing, surfing, paddle boarding and enjoying Santa Barbara´s outdoor paradise year round.

Ete Davis takes on the challenge to turbo charge Engine
Posted by: Emma Hall in Ad Tech, Agencies, Creative, News 10 days ago	0
Ete Davies, who left AnalogFolk last week, has been appointed to replace Matt Edwards as CEO of Engine's creative and experience design division. This is the bit that used to be WCRS, Partners Andrews Aldridge, Synergy and Slice.
It looks like a good hire for Engine, which is in need of new blood after some high profile departures since a restructure killed off its well known agency brands in January.
Matt Edwards resigned without a job to go to at the end of June after 14 years working at the agency's various guises, while Simon Peck quit in May after 20 years – and only a few months into his new role as chief client officer. Founder Robin Wight also stepped down in March.
Jim Moffatt, European CEO, Engine said: "Ete is a rare type of modern leader who can build culture, shape new offerings and drive innovation, but importantly given his background he speaks the language of the broad spectrum of capabilities that Engine has to offer. He is a connector – of ideas, of people and of specialisms, and someone who knows how to get things done. His reputation precedes him, and I am excited to see what he can do with the firepower of a business like Engine behind him."
Davies, who joins Engine in September, previously worked at AKQA, DDB and Digitas, and has a good track record on new business — landing clients like Nike, Danone, and Pepsi at AnalogFolk. Crucially, he's not afraid to speak out on industry matters, including diversity and inclusion, which should make him a good front man for Engine, which is in need of a voice and personality after ditching its agency brands.
Ete Davies said: "I've long admired Engine. It's a full stack offering, but with creativity firmly at its heart. It's everything clients need, all under one roof. I'm excited to be joining Jim and the rest of the team and feel privileged that they've invited me to help shape Engine's future."

Just because someone has an opinion, it doesn't necessarily mean that they should be taken seriously. We all have that friend or co-worker, might be the nicest person you could meet, but they occasionally say some batty things. Maybe it's something big, like they think the world is flat. Maybe it's something small, like they swear they can help you fix your car, despite an overwhelming lack of automotive knowledge. The vaping community is no different, and if you're a newbie looking to shop vape, you might occasionally get some bad information.
One of the great things about our community is the fact that the vast majority of people are knowledgeable and willing to share their thoughts. But once in awhile, new vapers hear something that's...well, a little goofy. If you're learning about the world of e-cigarettes, read on for some of the most common bits of bad advice you might hear.
"For your first device, get the most powerful one."-Okay, this is like telling someone buying their first car that the should get a Ferrari. We know, there are folks out there that absolutely love the technical aspects and try to add on as much as possible. That's great, but beginners don't need to spend hundreds of dollars or buy a top-of-the-line vaporizer. There are lots of reasonably priced starter kits that are simple to use, and allow you to get comfortable with the vaping technique.
"Buy e-juice with the highest amount of nicotine possible."-One of the great aspects about e-liquids is that they are available in varying nicotine strengths. We like that since it gives former smokers the option to calibrate their nicotine delivery. But if you choose an e-juice that has heavy nicotine levels, you run a very real risk of giving yourself nicotine poisoning. Most people find that they need less nicotine in their e-juice because their bodies absorb it differently from smoking. We recommend starting at a middle level, then adjusting up or down depending on your preferences.
"Spare batteries are a waste of money."-Most vapers you'll talk to have experienced a time when they pulled out their trusty e-cig for a puff, only to discover that their battery was stone dead. A wise move is to buy a backup battery or two and have them on you just in case. However, don't overcharge them, since they can lose their charge capacity. Also, make sure to use your spare batteries on a weekly basis in order to keep them functional.
"It's not that important to clean your vaporizer."-This kind of advice you should run away from at top speed. Over time, residue from e-liquid can build up on the walls of your tank. This not only forces your e-cig to work harder to draw out vapor, but also reduces the quality of the flavor of your e-liquid. On a regular basis, make sure you're cleaning not just the tank, but also the wick and coils. That way you can avoid getting a foul burnt taste in your mouth.
Companies have gone out of business and countries have fallen because people listened to someone who didn't know what they were talking about. Make sure to do your homework before buying. If you have questions, reach out to professionals for solid information.

Mississippi Bill Would Take Step Toward Treating Gold and Silver as Money
By: Alan Mosley|Published on: Jan 24, 2023|Categories: Federal Reserve, State Bills|
JACKSON, Miss. (Jan. 24, 2023) – A bill filed in the Mississippi Senate would make a sales tax exemption on the sale of gold and silver bullion and coins. Passage into law would relieve some of the tax burdens on investors, and would also eliminate one barrier to using gold and silver in everyday transactions, a foundational step for people to undermine the Federal Reserve's monopoly on money.
Sen. Jeff Tate (R) introduced Senate Bill 2708 (SB2708) on January 16. The legislation would exempt from sales tax the sales of platinum, gold, and silver bullion that are valued solely upon their precious metal content, whether in coin or ingot form.
This bill is similar to two other bills SB2019 and HB23 that would also repeal the sales tax on gold and silver.
KNOCKING DOWN BARRIERS
Currently, 42 states have eliminated sales taxes on gold and silver bullion. Repealing sales taxes on precious metal bullion takes a step toward treating gold and silver as money instead of commodities. Taxes on precious metal bullion erect barriers to using gold and silver as money by raising transaction costs. As Sound Money Defense League policy director Jp Cortez testified during a committee hearing on a similar bill in Wyoming in 2018, charging taxes on money itself is beyond the pale.
"In effect, states that collect taxes on purchases of precious metals are inherently saying gold and silver are not money at all."
Imagine if you asked a grocery clerk to break a $5 bill and he charged you a 35-cent tax. Silly, right? After all, you were only exchanging one form of money for another. But that's essentially what Mississippi's sales tax on gold and silver bullion does. By eliminating this tax on the exchange of gold and silver, Mississippi would treat specie as money instead of a commodity. This represents a small step toward reestablishing gold and silver as legal tender and breaking down the Fed's monopoly on money.
"We ought not to tax money – and that's a good idea. It makes no sense to tax money," former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul said during testimony in support an Arizona bill that repealed capital gains taxes on gold and silver in that state. "Paper is not money, it's fraud," he continued.
The impact of enacting this legislation will go beyond mere tax policy. During an event after his Senate committee testimony, Paul pointed out that it's really about the size and scope of government.
"If you're for less government, you want sound money. The people who want big government, they don't want sound money. They want to deceive you and commit fraud. They want to print the money. They want a monopoly. They want to get you conditioned, as our schools have conditioned us, to the point where deficits don't matter."
Practically speaking, eliminating taxes on the sale of gold and silver cracks open the door for people to begin using specie in regular business transactions. This marks an important small step toward currency competition.
The effect has been most dramatic in Utah where United Precious Metals Association (UMPA) was established after the passage of the Utah Specie Legal Tender Act and the elimination of all taxes on gold and silver. UPMA offers accounts denominated in U.S.-minted gold and silver dollars. The company also recently released the "Utah Goldback." UPMA describes it as "the first local, voluntary currency to be made of a spendable, beautiful, physical gold."
The United States Constitution states in Article I, Section 10, "No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts." Currently, all debts and taxes in Mississippi are either paid with Federal Reserve Notes (dollars) which were authorized as legal tender by Congress or with coins issued by the U.S. Treasury — very few of which have gold or silver in them.
The Federal Reserve destroys this constitutional monetary system by creating a monopoly based on its fiat currency. Without the backing of gold or silver, the central bank can easily create money out of thin air. This not only devalues your purchasing power over time; it also allows the federal government to borrow and spend far beyond what would be possible in a sound money system. Without the Fed, the U.S. government wouldn't be able to maintain all of its unconstitutional wars and programs. The Federal Reserve is the engine that drives the most powerful government in the history of the world.
The passage of SB2708 would remove one of the tax barriers that hinder the use of gold and silver as money in Mississippi.
Repealing taxes on gold and silver also takes the first step in the process of abolishing the Federal Reserve system by attacking it from the bottom up – pulling the rug out from under it by working to make its functions irrelevant at the state and local levels, and setting the stage to undermine the Federal Reserve monopoly by introducing competition into the monetary system.
In a paper presented at the Mises Institute, Constitutional tender expert Professor William Greene said when people in multiple states actually start using gold and silver instead of Federal Reserve Notes, it would effectively nullify the Federal Reserve and end the federal government's monopoly on money.
"Over time, as residents of the state use both Federal Reserve notes and silver and gold coins, the fact that the coins hold their value more than Federal Reserve notes do will lead to a "reverse Gresham's Law" effect, where good money (gold and silver coins) will drive out bad money (Federal Reserve notes). As this happens, a cascade of events can begin to occur, including the flow of real wealth toward the state's treasury, an influx of banking business from outside of the state – as people in other states carry out their desire to bank with sound money – and an eventual outcry against the use of Federal Reserve notes for any transactions."
Once things get to that point, Federal Reserve notes would become largely unwanted and irrelevant for ordinary people. Nullifying the Fed on a state-by-state level is what will get us there.
SB2708 has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee. It must be scheduled for a hearing and pass committee with a majority vote in order to continue on in the legislative process.

This sentence seems right to me. Does anybody here know what a moon cake is in French? Mononymous persons can't apply for a job. I wrote down his phone number on a scrap of paper. Tell us your impressions. I don't know what Norman's house looks like. You prayed that your children would forgive you. Could you make an exception? Kitty promised to send the check by mail. Judge wanted to win Patricia back.
Let's cut to the chase. These articles are "hors taxes". Marty is good at writing. We don't know. You've already eaten the cake? Where do we go now? None of Serdar's classmates knew his last name. Where did the money come from? I can trust him to a certain extent. You know yourself best.
I iron my clothes almost every day. Don't you think Moore's good-looking? He was framed by his wife. You used to do so when you were a university student. I was going to call him. "Do you see this girl?" said the lady of the house, pointing to Elsa. "I wish to adopt her for my daughter. Make me a copy of her, which we can send to her native village instead of herself." His speech was intolerably dull. We have carried on a correspondence for years. We must do something for Carsten. His cousin, whose name I have forgotten, was a nurse.
This phrase should only be used colloquially, never in a formal setting. I don't really understand it myself. She didn't buy the ticket after all. Maybe nobody wants to leave. Helge didn't even love Lyndon. A Canadian teenager has discovered a lost Mayan city. I'm at home. There are 40 students in my class. Hey, where did you two come from? I'll try to do it.
He clapped his friend on the shoulder. Pierette is still a virgin. This isn't funny anymore. Lightning precedes thunder. What kind of story do you want to hear?

This is strictly about business. Secure your own mask before helping others. When you quote a stupid text, do not forget the context. I'm doing this job to help a friend. I wonder what it would be like to be Steven. Henry certainly talks a lot. Troy did a fine job. I'm trusting you. Monica looked down at his glass and saw that it was still half full. I feel in my bones that the party will be a great success.
I'm here not to look for happiness but to find it. I saw an old friend of mine. Rusty tried to act like nothing was wrong. Sanjeev and Clay will have their 13th wedding anniversary soon. Even if it rains, I'll go swimming tomorrow. I ate lunch two and a half hours ago. I laughed like you were like those people that we weren't able to make Czechoslovakian. Duncan told me that he didn't want to go with us. They had to pass the tradition on to the next generation. She's thinking about getting married.
This is the key that opened that door. I want to know how he manages to make such good use of his time. Beth was looking forward to meeting him, but he never showed up. I wish I'd kept up my Chinese. I need it for my job. I didn't for a moment believe them. My job is designing shoes. Who are they sending? I bought several audiotapes of folk songs. Your refusal to help complicated matters. Martin wasn't popular.
Did you say three? I'm toying with the idea. I was the only one who didn't know Matti had been in prison. We ought to take the teacher's advice. It took me several hours to program it. A work like "In This House of Brede," which tells the story of a successful businesswoman who enters a convent in middle life, is as interesting--and for the same reasons--as a story that takes place on a planet orbiting a distant star. I forgot all about him. What's the weather like now? Let's sing together. Merat works at a health food store.
Why are we sitting here? The most essential for our people are unity, interethnic consent, and political stability. He is well paid. Rajendra is quite different from what I expected. I love you more than him. Ten policemen were assigned to patrol that area. Do you work with him? Many children will be going from door to door saying "Trick or treat?" on Halloween night. I would do anything for them. I think it's obvious, don't you?

Woman claims Texans star is father of her unborn child
On behalf of Law Office of Roland R. Esparza, P.C. posted in Child Support on Saturday, February 1, 2014.
Anytime a man and a woman in San Antonio have a child together but decide to go their separate ways, the child can be the one who ends up suffering. On top of the fact that the child may not have the love and support from both parents, sometimes, one of the parents may not want any relationship with the child at all. However, parents are legally obligated to support their children no matter what.
Houston Texans star running back Arian Foster is facing a lawsuit from a woman who claims that the NFL star is the father of her unborn child and that he has already attempted to sway her to have an abortion. According to reports, Mr. Foster has filed a response to the woman's suit but details of that response have not been publicly reported.
According to the suit, the woman claims to have DNA proof that Mr. Foster is the father of her child, with whom she has been pregnant for 17 weeks. In her suit she is said to be seeking child support and a restraining order to keep Mr. Foster from making further attempts to convince her to abort the baby. She is also seeking undisclosed damages for emotional distress.
If Mr. Foster is indeed the father of this unborn child, then a judge could rule that he is responsible to pay the woman child support. When one parent decides to neglect his or her financial obligations to his or her child, then the custodial parent may want to seek the help of an experienced child support attorney.

A dialog box will pop up, and you'll see a Search YouTube box. Type in the name of the video you want to search for and hit Enter.
A list of videos related to your search will appear. Scroll through until you find the video you're looking for, select it, and then click the Insert button at the bottom.
PowerPoint will add the video to your slide, and you can move and resize the video however you'd like and add your desired transition and animation effects.
If you want to preview the video, right click on it and select Preview from the menu. The video thumbnail will appear, and you can click the play arrow to see how it looks.
NOTE: If your video doesn't insert correctly after following these steps, double-check that you have installed the required Office updates.
You can find more information about required updates and versions here.
Not an option with older version of Microsoft PowerPoint.
Requires a reliable internet connection.
For the next two steps, you will need to find your video on YouTube first before adding it to your presentation.
After you've found your video on YouTube, click Share under the video, and then click Embed from the list of sharing options.
A new window will open with an embed code and several embed options. You can change when the video starts playing, choose to show or hide the player controls, and enable or disable privacy-enhanced mode. Once you've chosen your options, select and copy the entire embed code at the top.
In PowerPoint, select your slide and click on the Insert tab at the top.
A dialog box will pop up, and you'll see a Paste embed code here box. Paste your code in the box and press Enter.
You can use the controls to move and resize the video however you'd like and add your desired transition and animation effects.
More control over the playback of your video.
A slower process than inserting with the URL.
The first step is to insert a picture into your presentation that you can link to the address for your YouTube video. You can select a picture you already have, or you can take a screenshot of your video and use it as a preview of the video's content.
If you already have a picture: Insert the picture onto your slide by selecting your slide, clicking the Insert tab at the top, clicking the Pictures option, and selecting your picture. You can skip to step 5.
In PowerPoint, right-click and Paste the image onto your slide. You can adjust and resize your image if you need to.
Now, right-click on the image you pasted (or inserted), click on the arrow next to the Link option, and select Insert Link from the side menu.
Go back to your video on YouTube and copy the video's URL.
In PowerPoint, paste your video's URL into the Address box at the bottom of the Insert Hyperlink window and click OK.
Your image is now linked to your video on YouTube. When you get to the slide with your video, your browser will open YouTube.com and play the video from there.
You can control which image displays as your video preview.
Leaving PowerPoint to go to YouTube could interrupt the flow of your presentation.
Copy the URL of the video you would like to insert into your PowerPoint.
Select the slide you want to add your YouTube video to and click on the Insert tab from the top ribbon.
On the far right of the Insert options, you'll see a Video icon with a drop-down arrow. Click the icon and select Online Movie… from the list of options that appear.
Paste the URL into the box that pops up and click Insert.
PowerPoint will insert the video into the selected slide. From here you can move and resize the video however you'd like and add your desired transition and animation effects.
If you want to preview the video, you can click the play arrow in the video and see how it looks.
Having only one method makes it a simple process.
This method doesn't let you configure the playback for your video.
First you'll need to download the video onto your computer using a website like www.youtubnow.com.
To embed the video into your PowerPoint presentation, simply select the slide you want your video to play on and click the Insert tab at the top.
Click the Video icon at the far right and select Video on my PC… (or Movie from File… on Mac).
Locate and select your video, click the Insert button, and then make any necessary adjustment to the video's size, position, or transitions.
Downloading your video requires extra steps.
No options for configuring playback.
Once you have embedded your YouTube video into your PowerPoint presentation, make sure you run the presentation to ensure your video looks and plays how you want it to (F5 on Windows or Shift + Command + Return on Mac). You'll want to do this well in advance of presentation day so you aren't caught off-guard with playback errors.
Click on the drop-down menu next to Start.
Now your video will begin playing as soon as the slide you've embedded it on appears.
Select the video and click on the Playback tab that appears at the top under Video Controls.
In the Video Options group you'll see a Loop until Stopped option. Click the white box to turn on the looping feature.
With this feature turned on, your video will continue playing until you advance to the next slide.

Q. What to expect at first ultrasound after IVF treatment?
The first ultrasound can be expected after four to five weeks after the embryo is implanted into the uterus of the woman. But if in case your consultant suspects it to be an ectopic pregnancy or finds similar symptoms, then he can perform the ultrasound early. The ultrasound after IVF treatment is performed to see whether the uterus is functioning well with the presence of a pregnancy.

Q. What causes FSH to release?
FSH stands for Follicle-stimulating hormone. FSH is a glycoprotein gonadotropin which is secreted by the anterior pituitary gland in response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) which is released by the hypothalamus. However, the rise in follicle stimulating hormone i.e. FSH stimulates the growth of the follicle in the ovary.


Research published by the British Educational Research Association has revealed that Black Caribbean, Pakistani, Black African and Bangladeshi pupils are less likely to be entered into higher-tier mathematics and science tests than their white counterparts. The results were derived from a quantitative study of 15,000 14-year-olds by Warwick University.
The research has confirmed that black pupils are discriminated in the education system, the causes of the discrimination have been either been attributed to the perceived behaviour of black pupils or institutional racism. Black education support groups have now called for the government to take action against racism in schools.
However not everyone agrees that institutional racism is the root cause of the problem. Speaking to the Guardian newspaper Tony Sewell, an education consultant and columnist for the Voice newspaper, said "there is a link between behaviour and academic outcome. It doesn't mean that's evidence of institutional racism. It's evidence that we need to address properly the complex reasons why black Caribbean pupils behave badly. We can't just say it's white racist teachers."

Q: jvectormap USA pulling data from json I'm trying to insert data into var usa_markers from a json file, it looks OK but data is not displayed on the map.
this is my code:
    // USA Map

$.get('map.json', function(data) {
       var usa_markers = data;
       console.log(usa_markers);

    var usa_options = {
        map: 'us_mill_en',
        normalizeFunction: 'polynomial',
        backgroundColor: '#fff',
        regionsSelectable: false,
        markersSelectable: false,
        zoomButtons: false,
        zoomOnScroll: false,
        markers: usa_markers,
        regionStyle: {
            initial: {
                fill: Colors.byName('blueGrey-200')
            },
            hover: {
                fill: Colors.byName('gray-light'),
                stroke: '#fff'
            },
        },
        markerStyle: {
            initial: {
                fill: Colors.byName('blue-500'),
                stroke: '#fff',
                r: 10
            },
            hover: {
                fill: Colors.byName('orange-500'),
                stroke: '#fff'
            }
        }
    };

    $('#vector-map').vectorMap(usa_options);

});
The code that does work, looks like this:
var usa_markers = [{
            latLng: [40.71, -74.00],
            name: 'New York'
        }]

A: solved it... just had to add JSON.parse to the data

Q: After splitting i want to have condition on the length of the splitted string var myNew = myRegex1.Split(strTargetString);
                    if ((myNew[1].Trim()).Length > 12)
                    {
                       myNew[1]= (myNew[1].Substring(0, 9))+"..";
                    }                        }
                    _model.Add(new ScoresModel()
                    {
                        NameTeam1 = (myNew[1].Trim()),
                        ScoreTeam1 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[2].Trim()),
                        NameTeam2 = (myNew[3].Trim()),
                        ScoreTeam2 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[4].Trim()),
                        Round = (myNew[5].Trim()).Substring(1, myNew[5].Length - 2),
                        URL = item.ItemLink
                    });

Here above is my specification. after splitting the string into 5 parts. i want to apply a check on the first splitted string whether its length is greater than 12. If it is, then to trim it to 10 characters and append ".." (two dots) behind string.
* But after trimming code it is giving error in below method on myNew[1], myNew[2], myNew[3], myNew[4], myNew[5].
* Error is The name myNew does not exist in current context.
_model.Add(new ScoresModel()
                    {
                        NameTeam1 = (myNew[1].Trim()),
                        ScoreTeam1 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[2].Trim()),
                        NameTeam2 = (myNew[3].Trim()),
                        ScoreTeam2 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[4].Trim()),
                        Round = (myNew[5].Trim()).Substring(1, myNew[5].Length - 2),
                        URL = item.ItemLink
                    });

A: I think you want this:
var myNew = myRegex1.Split(strTargetString);
                    if ((myNew[0].Trim()).Length > 12)
                    {
                       myNew[0]= myNew[0].Substring(0, 10)+"..";
                    }
_model.Add(new ScoresModel()
                    {
                        NameTeam1 = (myNew[0].Trim()),
                        ScoreTeam1 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[1].Trim()),
                        NameTeam2 = (myNew[2].Trim()),
                        ScoreTeam2 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[3].Trim()),
                        Round = (myNew[4].Trim()).Substring(1, myNew[4].Length - 2),
                        URL = item.ItemLink
                    });

A: Try this :
var myNew = myRegex1.Split(strTargetString);
_model.Add(new ScoresModel()
{
    NameTeam1 = myNew[0].Trim().Length > 12 ? myNew[0].Trim().Substring(0, 9)+".." : myNew[0].Trim(),
    ScoreTeam1 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[1].Trim()),
    NameTeam2 = myNew[2].Trim(),
    ScoreTeam2 = Convert.ToInt32(myNew[3].Trim()),
    Round = myNew[4].Trim().Substring(1, myNew[4].Trim().Length - 2),
    URL = item.ItemLink
});

The split result is 0-indexed ;) like this, you don't set the first element of the array, just use it.
Be careful when you test your string with Trim, if you don't use it later (for substring), you may have a error if string begin with space..


THERE WAS NOTHING PARKER LIKED BETTER THAN A great party. Well, almost nothing. He did like winning a ball-busting polo match and the satisfaction of a great grape harvest.
He stared out at the party he'd arranged for his brother's birthday. The band blared out a brilliant cover of "Stand by Me." Dancers shouted and raised their hands over their heads on the dance floor, and Beau gave him a thumbs-up from across the room.
But his thoughts weren't caught up in the swirl of lights, pulsing music and celebrating dancers.
Five minutes before the first guests had arrived, Juliet's email had arrowed into his life, upsetting the smooth facade he preferred to show to the outside world.
He hadn't heard from Juliet since the day of the Sommelier shoot, two and a half months ago. Except for her formal thank-you for his donation to the seal rescue center. On letterhead. Typed.
A week later he'd sent her the email announcing the party for the First Flight launch. He'd added a postscript reminding her that if she ever needed him, all she had to do was ask. She'd responded by checking the response box that said Not Attending.
Though he appreciated what social media made possible for marketing his business, he preferred old-fashioned, face-to-face communication. It left less to interpretation.
He didn't blame Juliet for taking off without saying goodbye. Just as he couldn't be angry with his sister. He regretted his insensitive remarks, but by the time he'd heard of their conversation, the damage had been done.
Perhaps Zuri's truth-telling had been for the best. He wasn't relationship material. And a woman like Juliet deserved a man who was.
After the wine launch, he'd thrown himself into hard riding, harder work at the vineyard and crafting the perfect elaborate party for Beau's birthday. As if the fiendish buzz of busyness would salve the regret that tugged at him.
He skirted the dance floor and walked along the rose-lined garden path that led to his library. A tap of his finger and Juliet's message lit his computer screen.
Her simply worded email alarmed him.
I need you for a matter of great importance. Come to Zantos. I'll explain when you arrive.
The three short sentences were already pulling him across the thousands of miles to Greece. Knowing her, she'd had to swallow her pride to even ask him for help.
He owed her. Big-time. More than she knew.
The magazine cover and five-page article had shot First Flight and his vineyard to world prominence. He'd sold out the vintage and had orders for the next. The cover photo of him and Juliet kissing had gone viral. No one could buy publicity like that.
He stared at the cover he'd had framed to hang on the wall of his library. Like a sentinel guarding a world beyond his grasp, the cover glared at him, mocking him.
How could memories be both delicious and disturbing at the same time?
He could still feel the lushness of Juliet's lips and the heat of her skin beneath his hand. He'd loved the spunky way she'd sparred with him. Loved? Maybe too strong a word. He wasn't sure he was cut out for that fine emotion.
He ignored the voice of warning whispering in the depths of his mind as he put his fingers on the keyboard. She'd asked for help, he would give it.
With a few clicks, he had a reservation for a flight to Athens the next evening. And a flight out to Zantos Island after he had time to clear customs. Another few clicks, and a few typed words that didn't reveal any of the mixed emotions roiling through him, and he'd informed Juliet of his arrival.
