Robert Wiene (27. dubna 1873 Vratislav – 17. července 1938 Paříž) byl německý filmový režisér a herec židovského původu narozený na území dnešního Polska. Proslavil se filmovým hororem Kabinet doktora Caligariho (Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari), který natočil roku 1919, a který je považován za zakladatelské dílo filmového expresionismu. Z dalších snímků zaujala jeho adaptace Zločinu a trestu Fjodora Michajloviče Dostojevského nazvaná Raskolnikow (1923) či horor Orlakovy ruce (1924). S pádem expresionismu a koncem němého filmu na konci 20. let 20. století jeho sláva pohasla. Po nástupu nacismu k moci odešel do Spojeného království a posléze do Francie, kde spolupracoval mj. s Jean Cocteauem a kde před začátkem druhé světové války také zemřel. Jeho otec Carl Wiene a bratr Conrad Wiene byli známí herci.

The city of St. Louis is best known as the "Gateway to the West" because it was the starting point for the westward movement of settlers in the United States during the 1800s. Symbolic of the city's nickname, the Gateway Arch was built in the mid '60s. At 630 feet, it remains the tallest monument built in the United States, and it continues to remind us of those trailblazers from the past and the journey they chose to make.
St. Louis was the last big city that many settlers encountered in which they could load up on supplies before venturing further west. It became a traveling hub for the various settlers, hunters and others migrating to the West. In fact, many entrepreneurs made their fortunes in St. Louis by selling products to the people heading west.
Like those westward settlers, modern homeowners are exploring new horizons — not on any trail but within their homes instead. With an average home value of $96,000, it's a buyer's market in the St. Louis metro area, meaning that it typically takes homes longer to sell because buyers have the bargaining power, according to Zillow. Therefore, many St. Louis homeowners are staying put and enhancing their lifestyles with home improvements.
One popular way to upgrade a home is by updating the bathroom. When replacing the bathroom floor with new tile or stone, it's the perfect time to add radiant floor heating. Homeowners will especially enjoy this upgrade during those cold St. Louis winters.
In order to get the best return on investment, homeowners will want to keep their renovation costs as low as possible. Luckily, adding electric floor heating to an average-sized bathroom is budget friendly!
This St. Louis homeowner installed a 1.5- by 27-foot TempZone™ Flex Roll in their 93-square-foot bathroom (see floor plan) for under $500. The roll cost exactly $486, which comes out to just $12 per square foot. The roll was cut, turned and free-formed to fill 40.5 feet of available floor space with 15 watts per square foot of radiant heat.
Of course, the cost of the material isn't the only thing that should be kept low. The cost to operate the system should also be taken into consideration. To heat this bathroom for four hours a day, it only costs 11 cents a day, according to WarmlyYours' Energy Use Calculator. Furthermore, it only costs about $20 to heat the room during the coldest month of the year, according to WarmlyYours' Heat Loss Calculator. For the entire year, it costs $88.22 to operate the system. The Heat Loss Calculator considers the desired room temperature, sealing factor, surrounding rooms and insulation factors to estimate whether radiant heat can be the sole source of heat in a room and how much it will cost to operate.
Like the city of St. Louis, in-floor heating can be a gateway as well. Most of the time, once a homeowner experiences radiant heating, they can't go back to living without it. Instead, they're more apt to expanding in-floor heating to many other rooms within their home and even in different formats!
For instance, a bathroom can make use of radiant heated floors as well as towel warmers and mirror defoggers.
WarmlyYours offers a range of seven different towel warmers to suit any bathroom's style. We also sell various mirror defogger sizes that simply adhere to the back of a mirror to ensure a fog-free appearance at all times.
For more information about the various radiant heating solutions that WarmlyYours has to offer, please visit www.warmlyyours.com.
You can also get a floor-heating quote online using our Instant Quote tool. By entering information about your project, the tool will tell you what products are recommended for your room and how much they cost.
To get a custom installation plan for your space, you can also submit a floor plan online or send it to your account manager via email (sales@warmlyyours.com) or fax (800-408-1100). Getting a SmartPlan™ installation plan will make sure you have all the information you need to get your project started, so be sure to start smart!
Plus, if you plan to install your in-floor heating system yourself, you can feel free to give our technical experts a call with any questions. Our experts are available 24/7 at 800-875-5285 to assist you.

Q: Understanding flow of execution in a program I'm creating a stopwatch that stops after hearing a clap. My first function with the stopwatch object should call the second function, draw, and should stay in that function, continually listening until  vol > 0.3. Then, it should return and stop my stopwatch. However, while the volume seems to register, my function never returns and stops the stopwatch. What part of the flow of execution am I not understanding? How can I make my first function stop the stopwatch once the volume hits the threshold in my draw function?

function callStopwatch() {
    var watch = new Stopwatch(timer);
    watch.start();
    if(draw()){
        watch.stop();
    }
}

function draw() {
    let flag = false;
    var vol = mic.getLevel();
    if(vol > 0.2){
        console.log("true"); //created to check whether sound detection is working
        flag = true;
    }
    return flag;
}

A: I see three problems with your code:

*

*You shouldn't call draw() from other functions. P5.js automatically calls the draw() function for you 60 times per second. You shouldn't call it yourself.

*You shouldn't return anything from the draw() function. Because draw() is called automatically and not by you, the return value is simply ignored.

*You're never calling your callStopwatch() function anyway.

I think you probably want to refactor your code. Use the P5.js flow to your advantage. Specifically, P5.js calls the setup() function at the beginning of your sketch, and it calls draw() 60 times per second. Use that structure to structure your logic.
Here's a skeleton of how I would approach it:
var stopwatch;

function setup(){
  stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
  stopwatch.start();
}

function draw(){
  var vol = mic.getLevel();
  if(vol > 0.2){
    stopwatch.stop();
  }
}

Sightings of the Silents or indications of their presence in Series 5:
The Eleventh Hour – While hanging from the TARDIS, the Doctor looks up into into it and for a couple of seconds had a confused look on his face. Also, just how did Tennant's Sonic get in that room? ALSO When Rory and Amy exit the elevator on the second floor of the hospital, rory glances behind him at something, but when he looks back towards Amy, he shakes his head like he forgot something. It is at about 42:49 . In the scene at the end of the episode where Amy goes into the TARDIS for the first time, there's one point where she leans back on the console and is looking around the room. The camera is pointed towards her face, so we can't see what she's looking at. She looks around with a sort of awe-struck smile, but then her eyes linger over something and her expression turns into a look of horror. She starts breathing really quickly, and turns as if to get the Doctor's attention, but as soon as she's facing him she just asks, perfectly normally, "Why me?", as if she'd completely forgotten about what she'd seen. Also, she flicks a TARDIS button/switch/lever at this point. Accidental Amy, or something meaningful?
The Beast Below – at around 9:25, a black figure walks past Amy; she looks confused/scared for a couple of seconds, then shrugs it off.
Victory of the Daleks – Near the end after the Daleks escape, the Doctor moves slowly backwards, as he gets near to the green framed window/doorway he looks to his left with a shock. The camera then switches to Amy and Churchill who both stare to the Doctor's left with a look of shock before Amy continues on as normal with the line "Doctor, it's OK you did it, you stopped the bomb."
The Lodger – At 21:47 for a couple of shots Amy looks in the distance or at the screen, and gasps, then she shouts for the Doctors attention, but he doesn't listen. She looks away and shakes it off.
Vampires of Venice – at the end when Rory, Amy and the Doctor are standing by the TARDIS, the TARDIS door is open and then shuts on its own.
The Big Bang – there are cloaked figures behind the Sarcophogii in the museum; a third figure moves out of shot at the edge of the screen at about 13:31
AHAHA!
Good one @Doctor who star 100

And (having watched the episode) I have proof that I shouldnt have taken the message "one of the regulars will die" so LITERALLY!! If it had to be permanent, rory would have ben my candidate, then again, I do find Alex Kingston rather a pansy of a performer. The way she say those lines, so annoying to watch. But that's really a different topic. 😉
It was to shock the viewers , give the man OH MY GOD moment in the season opender, something Steven Moffat says, you wouldnt normalyy expect from a Season-opener. (Usually they tend to be, rompy and light hearted. Just look at the Russel T davies series's for confirmation of this, as Davros might say).

Agricultural inputs supply is mostly driven by private sector, though in fertilizer, Government imports and distributes at subsidized prices.
Inadequate flow of information on products' use and benefits through the trade chain.
Weak enforcement of inputs quality standards has led to proliferation of substandard products and counterfeits.
Lack of adequate financial capacity of traders to sufficiently stock for the peak periods.
Increasing farmer education and discernment leading to demand for quality inputs.


I got chatting to Arnold Smit on the plane to Parliament this week about the future of South African cities. He represents the Centre for Business in Society at the University of Stellenbosch Business School. Long ago I became concerned about the long-term future of cities in the world and South African cities in particular, because the general population and most city fathers do not understand the crisis into which we are heading. Smit made the point to me that you probably only need about 4% of society to fully understand the crisis, but the trouble in SA is that often it's not the correct 4% of leadership that understand. If local and provincial government, let alone national government do not grasp the world crisis, then we are simply not going to be able to respond until it's too late.
Personally I don't like scaremongering. The old apartheid government put me off that kind of politics. With the racial epithets being thrown around at present over the new employment equity laws, I have avoided writing on my perspectives on race this week. I'll keep that article for when we are not in the middle of electioneering.
However, my first concern about the impending city crisis is that people seem to relegate the discussion to green issues, which must be looked after by those people with green fingers and degrees from Oxbridge. You can even see this view reflected in Wikipedia: "sustainable city, or eco-city is a city designed with consideration of environmental impact". Now, the term "sustainable city" has to mean "eco-city" which is a pity. That's far too narrow a scope for the problem we face.
The crisis in our cities is we cannot sustain our cities with current practices in the full sense of sustain, including, (but not limited to) financial planning, spatial and town planning, roads and storm water infrastructure, water, electricity and sewer installation and recycling as well as the human migration and sustainable employment practices. It's not just a green revolution that we need. The environmental crisis is but a subset of the problem. With current practices, our cities are not sustainable financially either. Nor can we control people movements and job opportunities, which makes spatial and urban planning very difficult.
Let's tackle infrastructure first. Most large modern metropolitan conglomerates were built around 100 years ago, or greatly enlarged around that time after the advent of motorised transport, creating the typical American suburbia. It has taken us roughly 100 years to realise the headache we have built as a result. Environmentalists have listed the challenge for us as being a depletion of resources. The resources of the planet are being consumed to maintain our cities faster than we can replace them. The typical example quoted is how London would die as a city if the air and shipping routes were cut off. There would not be enough produce to keep the city alive and the city would die, being strangled by a lack of natural and processed resources.
However, the other half of that equation is missed in the green debate. The problem in a nutshell is that the pipes and cables and drains of cities installed 100 years ago are now decaying and in need of repair. Cities around the world require more and more money for maintenance and replacement of infrastructure to maintain services such as water, electricity, sewerage and garbage removal. And here's the problem: without raising taxes in an unsustainable fashion, how do we replace that ageing infrastructure without compromising something else? Inevitably political decisions have to be made. Unrealistic increases are avoided and above-ground visible service delivery is compromised to replace the essential services below the ground that carry our water and so on.
at the CIDs in SA were not a result of business nodes needing to fix the funding gap caused by the current government in SA, (the need to siphon off funds for the townships where services had never been properly installed). I was walking back to my hotel in Manhattan from a church service one Sunday morning with my head down as it was snowing on Madison Avenue and as I picked up my head to look for traffic at the intersection, there was a man in an overall with a sign on his back "Madison Avenue Business Improvement District," and the penny dropped instantly.
Cities have tried various means to deal with the big three issues – urbanisation leading to a growing housing need, limiting the insatiable increase in the need for service infrastructure and the growing safety and security needs that have arisen. One key solution has been to force high-rise instead of further urban sprawl, by legislating an urban edge to the city and preventing new developments outside that set perimeter. The City of Johannesburg approved such a perimeter some years back to loud applause from all parties.
However, the ink was barely dry when the city itself was forced to violate its own legislated urban boundary. Why? We have an added problem in South Africa. Many of our people still live in shacks and we have to provide access to affordable housing. That alone bedevils the equations. The limiting of urban sprawl makes the service infrastructure cheaper and simpler to maintain because many more individuals are paying towards the maintenance of one metre of pipe or cable if you go high rise, than if you spread out. However, building high-rise is also expensive and we are in a hurry. The ANC realises it is sitting on a ticking time bomb. If it cannot build sufficient low-cost houses for the poor in a short time, the country and the ruling party could face a Mubarak-scenario. The homeless may revolt and bring down the government – and not through the ballot box, which is the preferred method. When you are in a hurry to build low-cost housing for large numbers of rapidly urbanising underemployed workers, you can't afford high rise. It's just too costly and takes too long. End result – RDP housing. But how do you build RDP housing in cities like Johannesburg, Durban or Cape Town, where the available land located close to the work opportunities is limited? You are forced to go further and further out to find more cheaper land.
This creates untold complications. Johannesburg had to violate its own urban boundary within 12 months of approving it. This made the commitment to high rise, meaningless. The cost of the new pipelines and electrical infrastructure had to be taken from elsewhere, usually from maintenance of roads, sewers, storm water drains, street cleaning, park maintenance and the like. Still not enough money – sell off the parks and open spaces. The Rosebank library and park in Johannesburg is apparently now quietly up for sale and an official reportedly told the local ward councillor, "it's because the council needs the money". Carefully add up how much parkland has been sold off in Johannesburg over the past 10 years and you will be amazed. The opposition is constantly fighting the sale of a park or open space because concrete jungles are not good for societies.
I haven't even spoken about the transport nightmare this creates. If you build houses in Diepsloot or Zandspruit, or even Cosmo City (Thabo Mbeki's flagship project) you soon realise there are no BRT buses, Gautrains or any other real public transport to feed those areas. Taxis take over and the environment takes a hammering because of the pollution of too many fossil-fuel burners on the roads. Then, of course, you have to widen the roads, build bridges for cars and pedestrians and you never really get to laying the pavements – the cost/benefit analysis kills you… every time. In simple terms, while you are laying the pipes in "Norweto", the roads in Bertrams and security in Hillbrow collapse, not to mention the litter in Illovo or the uncut grass in Delta Park.

Several years ago, on the ITN Source website, there used to be VERY detailed listings of Dave Cash Radio Program episodes, which suggested that these survived. (or at the very least the PasBs did which were then typed out and made viewable on their public database). No longer, as these episode listings don't appear anymore.
However, I once made an enquiry about one of these episodes which was then referred to someone at HTV, who said these episodes no longer existed. I'm not entirely convinced by this so was hoping someone on here might know the status of what does and doesn't survive in relation to this interesting show from the early 1970s.

You'll probably find a thread about this on the forum. From what I recall, the conclusion was that Dave Cash holds the prints of most (all?) of the series, as well as the rights. That would probably be why HTV knew nothing about it.
Can anyone confirm that this is the case? I remember Dick Fiddy turned up at least one edition himself some years ago so prints seem to be floating around out there. I remember the series myself from the time.

Don't tell me-it's a different show!
Last Edit: Jan 24, 2013 18:52:50 GMT by John Green
Yes, it's a TV show. Dave Cash loosely plays himself in it, playing discs at a radio studio, which acts as a kind a link to clips and promos of bands performing. That Lost Shows listing seems to confirm my thought that the series exists in the hands of Mr.Cash. Can anybody confirm this for sure though?

I remember this in the Tyne Tees area. It had the same slot there that Lift Off had. A friend of mine really took the p**s out of me because I said I'd watched it. Don't know why, for a 10 year old, it had some way cool bands on it.

I spoke to Dave Cash some time ago and he said he had no idea what had happened to the series as he would like to see it himself. i gave him some pointers to where he might find it but don't think he had any success? From what I remember he said, the pilot was a different format to what the series to turned to be and was an hour long IIRC and was shot a considerable time before the series. Europe & Florida apparently showed more episodes than the UK and some ITV companies either showed it when it was out of date or not at all. I put what I knew on the IMDB.
Thanks Peter. Well, it's a bit of a mystery then! As Lost Shows lists the series as complete though, I wonder if Chris Perry can comment if he's reading this?
So both ITN and HTV don't seem to hold any copies, nor apparently does Dave Cash as Peter Stirling says. So where are these shows now?
This is why I was really quite amazed to discover two shows were held by Kaleidoscope, the first concrete proof I've had for years that two episodes do actually exist. I may also have located someone with a copy of a third show but how many were made and how many have yet to turn up is a complete mystery to me.
If Kaleidoscope can get permission to show one of these programmes it would be the first time one has been seen in full in over 40 years. Let's hope this gets the ball rolling and other episodes can be located, come on Ray, do your best.
By the way, does anyone have the detailed listings of the Dave Cash Radio Program that they would care to share here? I'm sure a few of us would find them most interesting...

Hmmm...the plot thickens. Thanks to all for the input into this thread - most interesting...and somewhat mysterious.
These DCRP eps were listed on the ITN Source site but they didn't actually licence them. Think requests were then forwarded to HTV people for them to handle.
My info suggests that the HTV archive was moved to the SWFTA in Plymouth some years ago, but a check by a librarian there could not locate any paperwork suggesting the boxes sitting in a warehouse contained any DCRP material. Frustrating.
This was the only thing I copied and pasted somewhere that I can find from emails sent more than 5 years ago. But a can number and other details suggests this survives...somewhere.

There shouldn't be any doubt that at least something exists of the series as I saw one episode at a screening some years ago now. Not sure if it was a Kal or MBW event. One of the music clips featured in it was a Beatles rooftop performance of Get Back (a different edit to that seen in the Let It Be film though). I seem to think it was in b/w as well, although the show was colour.
It's a mystery but we need really to hear from Chris on this one now...

It went out Wednesdays in London Area titles were a bit strange a monkey turning volume up/down etc
Just seen The BFI lists the pilot and also that it was shown in 1972.
i don't reckon (maybe wrong) that the pilot was ever shown ? as I think this dates from 68-69....and I think an hour long?
HTV I think showed the series when the records were starting to chart, but other regions showed the series when they were well out the chart.
Not all the time but they used a fair bit of guerrilla filming (ie,no permission sought just out the back of the van with the camera and back in asap) and pursuaded Gene Pitney to sing '24 Hrs from Tulsa' on the M4 Severn Bridge...no idea if that was in a vehicle or outside LOL.
The Sweet's 'Alexander Graham Bell ' was filmed in the Barbican car park because Cash lived there at the time, but by the time many regions saw it Sweet were onto Wigwam Bam.
13 episodes shown in the UK are here

Using a trim tray when trimming your bud can help you to keep a lot of the loose THC. Also you will be more efficient with a proper workstation and it can enhance your productivity. I would recommend a trim tray to anyone who handles a lot of weed trimming, or needs to trim regularly. Trim trays can make long hours of trimming more comfortable and more enjoyable. If you're looking for the best trim tray you may want to consider a few options. Trim trays come in several different designs so you may want to find what works best for you.
First of all this Trim Bin by Harvest More is a great way to increase your productivity while trimming. This trim tray includes two bins that help you to trim and collect pollen. The top bin has a 150 micron stainless steel screen that's non-removable and allows only the finer grade pollen to fall through the screen.

There are built in wrist rests with pads that will provide a comfortable spot to rest your hands while trimming. Also there is a disposal chute that can be used for a few things. This smaller trim tray is a great lap station for trimming weed. I would recommend this to anyone who needs a trim tray but doesn't need a large one. If you're looking for a unique design that works well, this might be the best trim tray for you.
Here is another excellent trim tray made by Honey Bee. This two level trim tray offers a pollen filter and a bottom tray to catch it in. The 150 micron stainless steel screen is great for catching loose marijuana materials and filtering the kif to the bottom.

We are nurses. We witness joy and sorrow and amid what is all in a day's work, we thrive in the service of others. It fulfills us. Nursing teaches us how to be better human beings. In a world where selflessness has become a sign of weakness, it is now more than ever that we need to step up and model the art of compassion.


I wish I could just write out what I really want. I wish I had the ability to even say it, beyond feeling it. Beyond thought. It's very sad, to harbor an "untold want" a la Walt Whitman. Hard, too. To feel something so strongly yet, be unable to act on it. Makes me feel like a child all over again. Or, a prisoner. Perhaps I am a little of both.
Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to feel like this? To know exactly what you want and need but to be powerless to do anything about it, let alone utter it aloud??? And then, and then...even if miracles occurred and the stars aligned, my untold want may not be possible. Or, feasible. Practical. Pragmatic. At best, the thing I want (yet cannot speak) seems insane. But, I've never been happier than when I went a little crazy.
"Crazy" is relative though. To have never done what others considered irrational, imprudent and erroneous would have been a sign of true madness on my part. For, how can one have never experienced joy yet somehow turn away from it when it knocks on your front door?
No, I'm not crazy for wanting or needing joy. It is the world that has gone mad, expecting its victims to be silent, and somehow, satisfied with that silence. Why do we have mouths? Tongues? Throats? Vocal chords? Lungs? And a diaphragm? Why do we have a complex brain capable of creating words, and languages...so many languages? Why? Can anyone tell me???
Do you want to know why the world is the way it is? Why there is so much mental illness? So much misery?
Control. Distraction and control, to be exact. The less happy we are, the more money we need to spend to fix it. To distract ourselves from it. To escape reality for just a few hours. In that way, money does buy happiness. It buys everything. Even love. You don't need money to feel that rare connection with another person. But you do need dollars (and sense) to maintain it. Or at least, to buy the shelter needed to house it. And, the food needed to sustain it.
Shakespeare said music was the food of love. I tend to agree. When I experienced real love, it was as if it were set to a sound track. Like a movie. Only better. Because it was real. And, really happening to me. Voices of angels danced lightly in my ears. Letters from their language appeared in my mind's eye. When that happened, bodies disappeared becoming pure energy. Pure light. Two souls, not two people. Merging together as one. The greatest of all quantum entanglements. Transcending space and time.
It's not exactly like picking out a new car. You can't swipe right and expect to find it again either. This lifetime emotion comes but once in a lifetime. For the expanse of yours. More's the shame.
See??? Pure sadness. At least I can say I've felt something pure. Innocent in its purity, too. Beautiful. Unique. Special. How can something so incredible also be the cause of so much sorrow? I really don't know. All I know is that I'm like a ship floating on a sea of tears. I dreamt of a sinking ship years before I found what is now lost. A parent of three children drowned in the dream. Funny how time reveals the truth in our dreams. Today, I recognize that it was not existing children that belonged to someone else...it was three children that were supposed to belong to me. And, I was the parent who drowned.
Sometimes I wonder if I've died and just haven't realized it yet. I imagine that's how death is. Quick. Unwitting. Like walking into a grocery store for milk. Or, putting gas in your car.
No wonder I'm so sad, so frustrated. I'm more akin to a disembodied voice, clacking away on digital keys. But the response is only ever an echo. My own voice, haunting me. Taunting me.
You want to know what the saddest thing about all this is?
It didn't have to be this way. Humans. Always so eager to give up their happiness. If I could teach the world one lesson, it would be that fear is but an illusion. The real truth is in your heart, not your mind.


What is the Best Type of Bean Bag Refill for You? A Detailed Comparison!
What is the Best Type of Bean Bag Refill for You?
It is a known fact that bean bags have become an increasingly popular item to own in Singaporean homes. Comfortable, funky, and pretty, what is there not to like about them? While the records of Masons Home Decor does show that there is actually a substantial market of Singaporeans who purchase a bean bag solely for home decor purposes, there are many others who would actually love to snuggle in one on a daily basis!
Being so light and easy to carry has resulted in some users bringing their bean bag to every part of their home or office they go to. Do this for 5 to 7 years and you may realise that the beads or filling in your bean bag will start to lose its volume. When this happens, do not panic!
There has also been much debate on EPP vs EPS bean bag refills. We have here today in detail, the types of bean bag refills available in Singapore, so that you may determine which would suit you best!
Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) beads are the most popular option when it comes to selecting a bean bag refill, especially in Singapore. It is a man made plastic processed to be in the form of tiny beads in the diameter of 3 to 5 mm. Known for its durability and good heat conducting properties, they are also commonly used to cushion fragile hardware and contain piping hot food takeaways (as Singaporeans would say, 'dapao').
Being a man made plastic, EPS is highly resistant to heat and moisture, ensuring the bean bag user a comfortable rest.
Very lightweight and would definitely fly uncontrollably in the presence of wind. 95 to 98% of the composition of EPS is actually air.
Despite its light weight, it is extremely rigid. It is able to withstand human weight without losing its shape through compression for at least 5 to 7 years. The EPS Bean Bag refill from Masons Home Decor is known to last for at least 10 years.
Environmentally friendly because it is recyclable.
Expanded Polypropylene (EPP) is another plastic material that is easy to reshape when introduced to a certain degree of temperature. Upon solidifying while it is being cooled, it becomes extremely strong, durable, and resilient. While it has many benefits over the earlier talked about EPS, EPP bean bag refills are avoided due to some worrying issues.
Extremely strong and durable. Definitely capable to handle any sort of human mass, and would even pop back into shape when intentionally crushed. It is highly unlikely that EPP will lose its volume, even when used over a period of more than 10 years.
It is indeed true that EPP is a tougher material. This also means it is more dense. Your bean bag will be at least a third heavier when filled with EPP (as compared to EPS).
Being tougher and denser, EPP beads are going to be much more firm than EPS beads. As you take your seat on your bean bag, you may not feel that moving around within your seat is that easy anymore. This is due to the fact that the EPP beads are going to be extremely rigid. Comfort may be compromised.
EPP beads are proven to be a fire hazard.
Compressed foam has evolved into memory foam over the years, due to the emergence of technology. This material is used mainly for bean bag chairs or loungers to provide a very firm yet comfortable experience. It is a type of Polyurethane Foam that reacts to body heat to provide the user with optimum comfort.
Memory foam molds to a warm body to accommodate to the shape of the body.
High ergonomic properties that are perfect for maintaining preferred body posture.
Not suitable for bean bags of irregular shapes.
Unsuitable if you wish to snuggle and move within your seat along with the beads within your bean bag.
After a period of 5 years, memory foam may not recover to its original shape. Therefore, it is more suitable for individual use only.
Micro beads are made from the most common type of plastic in the world – Polyethylene. They are manufactured to be no more than 1 mm in diameter, and can be comfortable to fill bean bags that are meant to be extremely firm.
As mentioned above, it is ideal for bean bags if you want them to be firm, rigid, and hard.
Micro-beads are really tiny, having them compacted into a bead bag would result in it to be much heavier than when filled with any of the bean bag fillings discussed above.
If you are looking for a rigid bean bag, you would have found your solution. But if you would prefer a bean bag to be something you can snuggle into, this option of filling is not the one for you.
We do hope you have enjoyed this informative article about bean bag refills! Do share this post if felt it was helpful! Stay tuned for more tips regarding home decor!

Homonymie d'unités militaires


Ever since I was a child I really, really, liked nice furniture and interesting plants. As a third grader, 9 years of age, I founded an environmental club in my school. It was a board on which everyone could post their ideas on how we could improve the cleaning of our environment, the nearby park, and our schoolyard; we even had our own police there for a little while, targeting the litter bugs! So ever since I can remember I was concerned about the environment and the preservation of our planet.
I decided to study architecture as it was the logical link to my two great loves… architecture was also the closest link to furniture design I had in my home town, while I decided to continue my self-education/experiments in my own garden.
Soon after enrolling to university I realised I found myself in architecture!
I loved it! In 2009 I received the Best Student Award for interior design from the Architectural Association of Nis and the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Architecture Nis for the design of a scuba diving tours agency. My design consisted of lots of underwater plant life and furniture.
By this time I had already fallen deeply in love with buildings, their form, their design, their structure, and the purpose they serve and will serve in preserving the environment and the planet for future generations, and in 2010 I decided to embrace this passion fully. I did this by carefully choosing my majors to be in sustainable building construction, living interiors and landscape planning so as I could incorporate as much living organisms into my designs as possible. In December of that year I graduated with the best mark attainable, 10 out of 10 in all subjects.
My diploma thesis was called "Zero CO2 Hollywood Mansion", and dealt with the introduction of sustainability and environmental preservation into the homes of popular Hollywood A-listers, wanting to involve a social issue into my thesis, a one of stars being impersonated in real life. I wanted to point out that if funny and perhaps immature behaviour can be used and manipulated so as to help the planet's preservation, this would not be such a bad thing after all. For example, like when after Angelina Jolie adopted her first child, the adoption rates in the entire western world skyrocketed by 30%, this wasn't a bad thing. Now, 5 years later, there's another example involving the same actress and breast cancer screening, where the percentage of women going for a screening went up 30% in the wake of Jolie's activism. My point was to argue that if we could somehow grab the attention of a famous Hollywood celebrity, we as the people that care about this planet, green architects and environmentalists, would be able to reach a far greater audience than working on hundreds of individual green projects, as many more people would want to have a green and sustainable house that would respect the environment and help save the planet. For this to happen all we would need is one very popular figure, just one, that could rewrite history. Don't forget we are a generation raised on television, computers and all types of electronics, and are easily influenced (and manipulated) for better or for worse.
With this project I later applied for the Holcim Awards for sustainable construction and received a Certificate of Participation 2011 for "Conceptual design for zero CO2 Hollywood mansion" California, United States, project in the "Next Generation" category.
It was at Gramont Inzenjering that my journey as an architect began, and until 2012 I worked there first as an intern and later as Architect. In 2012 I was promoted to the position of Research Architect.
Whilst working simultaneously on my diploma thesis and as an Assistant Architect at Gramont Inzenjering, I became (re)acquainted with an old/new love of mine, water. Water management, wastewater treatment and management, and water preservation, to be precise.
As an environmentalist, my first look at Gramont's wastewater treatment plant filled me with excitement. I knew I had to learn more on the subject and wanted to research further in order to push the boundaries and explore them closely. My efforts didn't go unnoticed and during the development of my diploma thesis I chose LA as the location for my mansion, meaning great water shortages and a need for water preservation. Soon the opportunity to delve even deeper into this topic arose. Together with the main water engineer at Gramont Inzenjering, I successfully explored the option to transform their 5000 ES unit for wastewater treatment into a single house unit, producing the perfect cherry on top for my Zero CO2 Hollywood Mansion design.
This challenging experience led to my new engagement and further improvement and interest in the field of water preservation and in 2011 the idea for my PhD thesis was born. In December of that year I met with my now mentor Prof. Georg Hauger in Vienna, and arranged for the beginning of my PhD studies, my new raison d'être.
It has everything I am interested in, all my loves bound together: architecture, land and water preservation, the environment, landscape design, and plants. My PhD is on afforestation of the Sahara desert, as you might have guessed from the title; developing a sustainable solution for irrigating vast desert landscapes to slowly influence the local climate which in turn will influence the global climate to mitigate the effects of global warming. Thinking globally acting locally in all its glory.
It was a dream come through and my hobby had turned into my profession now that I had managed to fully incorporate plant life into my engineering and architectural designs. With everything that I have I am trying, and will continue to try, to save this planet for us and for our children, making it each day a healthier and better place to live. Soon, I will receive my doctorate degree from the Technical University of Vienna and I am looking forward to engaging on an even deeper level with the challenges of our time.
My little gardening experiments that led me down this path in the first place have also led me to a new and interesting symbiosis between plants and furniture, check it out here, my very first edible sustainable painting.

Homo Gastronomicus
Tasting the British Enlightenment ... one venison pasty at a time
Robinson Crusoe Quote
"He preferred, however, "gourmandization," was an idolater of a certain decent, commodious fish, called a turtle, and worshipped the culinary image wherever he nozed it put up."
---The Contradiction (1796)
Confessions of an English Turtle-Eater
In 1755, the weekly periodical The World published an "insider's account" of an English turtle-feast.[1] To call it unflattering would be an understatement; the piece viciously satirized the gastronomic obsession that had suddenly afflicted high society.
The World only ran for a few years, yet the two penny periodical reputedly had a high circulation. Much of the content involved some sort of playful social critique intertwined with a moral lesson; the editor, Adam Fitz-Adam, attempted to be "witty when I can, and instructive when I dare."[2] Readers most likely would have treated the piece as entertainment more so than as investigative journalism. But when there's smoke, there's fire; after all, separating fact and fiction was a far more ambiguous enterprise in those days.
What went down at a metropolitan turtle feast? If you will remember from a few posts ago, back in 1744, when Lord Admiral George Anson's scurvy ridden crew lay stranded off the coast of Panama, sharing fresh-caught turtle was described in glowing terms. The meat was abundant and readily shared among all ranks of the crew. Even the superstitious Spanish prisoners were encouraged to give it a try. Sharing food together –– done with cheerful, convivial swagger –– turned a distant tropical island into a home away from home. Ah yes. The good old days.
By 1755, the party was over. Or more accurately, turtle feasting had degenerated into an exclusive libertine bacchanal replete with fetishistic rites and rituals. The uninitiated narrator watches the host of the turtle-feast carefully fold his turtle clothes around his body "like a nightgown," alluding to the loose fitting Roman attire of Apicius's day.[3] Forks and knives are substituted for customized cutlery inventions –– "fine saws, chisels and instruments of different contrivance, as would have made a figure in the apparatus of an anatomist" –– designed to scrape the calipash dry.[4] Finally, the turtles are treated more like sacrificial victims than food. Turtle-shells –– "trophies of his luxury" –– adorn the gates of the host's house. Six turtles swim around a giant cistern erected in one of the rooms. But instead of seaweed or algae, these naturally vegetarian creatures fatten in England on a leg of mutton per day.
The craze for "new foods" might have
started with Apicius: the 1st century
Roman foodie
There was certainly something a little cannibalistic about maintaining a sea turtle in England, but actually eating one, as we soon find out, turns men into figurative beasts. "The plunderers were sensible to no call but their own appetites," the narrator observes; they ate with "eagerness" and "rapacity," trying to stuff their faces with the best parts before the rest of the company could get to them. The formerly gracious host, meanwhile, has "taken care of nobody but himself."[5]
The more brutish the men appear, the more we as readers are invited to sympathize with the plight of the poor turtle. For example, the young initiate recoils in shock when he first glimpses the enormous turtle lying in the kitchen, still alive despite having been "cut and two full twenty hours." Things go from bad to worse when a "jolly negro wench" appears out of nowhere and callously sprinkles a handful of salt over its body, provoking "such violent convulsions, that [the narrator] was no longer able to look upon a scene of so much horror and ran shuddering out of the kitchen." We learn that hundreds of innocent turtles are violently killed during the arduous reptilian middle passage from the West Indies, their shells dashed against one another during storms. It's hard to see the turtle's plight as disconnected from the slave's.[6]
What should we make of this literary representation of turtle feasting? In my opinion, mid-century obsessions with turtle feasts underscored widespread cultural anxieties about foodism. They warn us that knowledge and appreciation of fine food does not prime people to appreciate the finer things in life. Instead, all notions of civility go out the window.
In fact, turtle eating was often talked about as if it were an addiction. After a bad day in the stock market, one fictional stockbroker finds temporary solace in a turtle seasoned with cayenne pepper, which "operated so strongly, that his heart was dilated, his spirits were exhilarated…"[7] It's likened to a mind-altering substance rather than a meal. When it came to the turtle overdoses, satirists had a field day. In George Lyttleton's Dialogues of the Dead, an historical foodie Charles Darteneuf fantasizes about coming back to life simply to taste green turtle fat, pledging "to kill myself by the Quantity of it I would eat before the next morning."[8]
According to his friend Alexander Pope,
Darteneuf's or "Darty's" favorite food was ham pie
Eating turtle effectively turns back the clock on the civilizing process, but it also called into question what counted as food. Now, during the 18th century, the jury was out when it came to the exact flavor of turtle. Some argued that it tasted like beef; others posited that it the flavor was closer to veal or lobster.[9] Still others found it utterly disgusting.
If turtle became so popular, why not alligator?
Where did the madness end?
Rowlandson, "Sir Joseph Banks about to eat an Alligator, or the Fish Supper"(1788)
But if turtle wasn't universally accepted as food, its skyrocketing popularity raised some red flags. Turtle was more than just an acquired taste imported from abroad; it opened up a Pandora's box full of limitless gastronomic possibilities that threatened to destroy the bonds of a common culture. No longer were men satisfied with the roast beef of old England at their feasts; in the sea turtle, nativists suspected a "conspiracy of Creolian epicures to banish [roast beef] from the island."[10] And if sea turtle could so easily become a culinary rage, who was to say that the English palate couldn't be reconciled to an alligator? How could tradition survive within a relentless quest for novelty?
With all this bad press, turtle risked losing its status as a delicacy.
[1] If you'd like to read it yourself, the article is called "A Humourous Account of a Turtle Feast and a Turtle Eater," in The World 123, May 8, 1755.
[2] Fore more on The World, see Patricia Demers "Sir Edward Moore" Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, online edn, Jan 2008.
[3] Apicius was the Roman bon-vivant who lived in the 1st century BC. In 1705 F.R.S. and antiquarian Martin Lister edited and privately printed a cookbook supposedly authored by him, sparking off vigorous debates among intellectuals about what kinds of foods Britons should be eating. His name became associated with insatiable gluttony and love of luxury during the 18th century.
[4] Did "turtle clothes" actually exist? I have yet to find any evidence of real turtle eating uniform. Most likely this simply meant loose-fitting clothes. The only other reference I have found comes from "A Scene of Shades" published in the General Evening Post, October 11, 1770. This article tells the story of fictional "Common Councilman Guzzledown" who announces "because I knew there was to be a great deal of turtle, I put on my light drab frock and gold-laced scarlet waistcoat that laces down the back." If you are a textile historian with any knowledge of 18th century turtle-clothes, please get in touch!
[5] This account isn't the only turtle-feast to turn men into ravaging monsters with no sense of hospitality. In 1770, a disappointed guest at a corporation dinner wrote an angry letter to the General Evening Post, reporting that entire tables received only empty platters and empty turtle shells because the people served first had eaten it all.
[6] I've always wondered if there is a critique of the slave trade hidden in this indictment of turtle feasting. Fitz-Adam reconstructs a topsy-turvy world where reptiles seem more human than men. And after all, it's hard to deny that the turtle's body seems to symbolize a failed economic and moral system associated with the West Indies. In 1755, these kind of critiques were ahead of their time.
[7] John Hall Stevenson, Yorick's Sentimental Journey, continued vol 2, (London, 1774) 27.
[8] George Lyttelton, Dialogues of the Dead (London, 1760). Darteneuf actually existed; he was a member of the Kit Kat club and died before turtle-eating had penetrated Great Britain. You can find out more about him in Philip Carter's article "Charles Dartiquenave," Oxford Dictionary of Nationanl Biography, online edn, Jan, 2008.
[9] The only reference to turtle's resemblance to veal and lobster comes from James McWilliam's A Revolution in Eating (New York: Columbia University Press, 2005) who references Richard Bradley, a gentleman traveling in Barbados during the 18th century and found it "extremely pleasant either roasted or baked." Many contemporaries believed that turtle tasted fresher and better in the West Indies.

The aftermath of a road accident is never a pleasant event, even if the damage caused was as minor as a dented bumper.
It may be hard to concentrate on the details after a shunt, but if you have to make a claim on your car insurance, you'll need to know what to report, when and the key information that you'll need.
Failure to do so accurately could invalidate your claim or drastically reduce the payout you are entitled to.
It is advisable to contact your insurance company and tell them about the accident as soon as you can after the event, even if you do not want to make a claim.
Most car insurance policies specify a time period in which they expect you to report an accident. These time periods can be anything from 48 hours up to in some cases two weeks.
Check the wording of your policy carefully after an accident as if you fail to report it within the allotted time period the insurance company is under no obligation to continue with your insurance claim.
If your car has been involved in a collision with another vehicle, the insurance company will want you to provide the details of the other drivers.
Try to provide the most thorough details that you can, including the vehicle registration of any other cars, the name, address and telephone numbers of the other drivers and their insurance company details also, although the name of the insurance provider is usually enough.
Once you have given the insurance company details of the other parties involved in the accident, you'll need to explain to them precisely how the accident happened.
You need to give them as much information about the accident as you can, as it will help them to not only process the claim but also, if necessary, make a judgement as to who was the cause of the accident.
When you contact your insurance company they will be able to offer you advice in how to take your claim forward should you wish to do so.
Depending on the level of insurance you have in place you may be entitled to free legal representation and a courtesy car whilst your vehicle is being repaired.
The insurance company will be able to contact the insurance companies working for the other people involved in the accident and it is left up to the companies to resolve the matter in a fair and reasonable manner.
You can make a claim on the insurance of the other driver following an accident if it can be determined that the other driver was either fully responsible or partially responsible.
If it is proved, you may be able to use the other driver's insurance to claim for some or all of the following: repairs to your vehicle; recovery of the excess amount on your insurance policy; loss of earnings after an accident and personal injury costs.
Specialist companies will usually be appointed by your insurance company or broker who will assist in managing each element of your losses.
@mandm. report this to the police. You will then have a case number to enable your insurance companies to take further action.


Do you think of glory as being another name for heaven? Psalms 73:23-25, "Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." How many times have you said or heard Christians talk of death as being "received unto glory," which is a phrase borrowed from this Psalm. When the Christian dies, he will be taken into God's presence, and in His presence will be naturally surrounded by God's glory.
Defining what Glory is and what it means is tougher than I thought and to explain it to someone who never has seen the glory of God in His creation or has never experienced the wonderful presence of Jesus Christ is like trying to explain a sunrise over the ocean to someone who is blind.
Because God is the creator of all, including us and is Holy, the glory of God is the manifest beauty of his holiness. It is the going public of his holiness. His holiness is what he is as God that nobody else is. It is his quality of perfection that can't be improved upon, that can't be imitated, that is incomparable, that determines all that he is and is determined by nothing from outside. It signifies his infinite worth, his intrinsic, infinite worth, his intrinsic, infinite value.
The Lord Jesus Christ has done so much for me, can you declare that too?
Its about desire, do you have this desire?

Before I attempt to reinvent the wheel. Has anybody converted the get_results.php into an asp script?
I see a lot of people online asking for it, so not sure why ispring has not already converted the php into asp, but if someone has, please post.
actually converting to asp was much simpler than I thought.
the problem I am having now is the detailed report xml file. The instructions on ispring say to simply parse the xml, but no examples in code how to do that. Any ideas on where I can find that information, is someone doing that right now?
I'm sorry but we do not provide any code examples on how to parse the xml.

New book: "WhatsApp Retail" out now!


I enjoyed the pick up service at the airport, the drive to The Landing with a stop off at the grocery store.
I found your taxi service to be very reliable with polite and trustworthy drivers.
The driver also stopped at a look-out area so that we could get a photo. See photo at the bottom of the page.
The drop-off to the airport was sad. The driver was expedient and great.
Best of everything. Thank you for all of your help.


For over 35 years,offering unique merchandise & designs for your home, and garden, while providing clients with our "Very Best" in quality, service, product and maintenance. All packaged with our personal care because we love what we do for you!
Who would have thought 40 years ago that in 2015, I would be a laborer of love instead of an executive for a major department store? I lived the traveling, non-stop, office environment for 18 years and I loved every minute of it.
My retail history, mentors, work ethic, along with my family profile, prepared me for this revised career undertaking. In 1992, I became sole owner, manager, buyer, salesperson, and refinisher of the store.
I made changes according to customers, as well as my own evolving needs, desires, and trends. Today, technology leads our lives, but to this day I am more involved in the "doing" – being on the front lines, loving the journey, seeing first-hand the finds when I purchase, or the results of my designs and our efforts whether they be in a customer's home or in their gardens.
I believe what has driven me to all the shop business revisions over the last three decades (whether it is selecting interior or exterior merchandise or expanding into garden service) is my own love for my home – an 1876 farmhouse that I purchased in 1983.
• October 10, 1980 - Purchased this business. Original name was "Vicar Antiques & Collectibles" located at 693 Washington Rd. in the heart of the Mt. Lebanon, PA business district.
• Early 1980s - Revised name to "Vicar Antiques & Gifts" to encompass current items and reproductions (i.e. greeting cards, lampshades, candles, gift ideas).
• 1986 - 1998 - I dabbled in to gardening and grew to love it.
kick-start this additional business effort.
• November 2007 - Expanded interior shop space to include an adjacent vacant showroom, and officially revised our name finally to "Vicar Home & Garden", encompassing all our interior and exterior updates.
Our passion can be yours!
I've gone through having renovations in 1991, 2000, and 2007 — extending from updating the interior, to revamping the entire exterior, to transforming the landscape and the entire garden…go figure.
Subconsciously, the business experienced its changes roughly within the same period.
As Steve Jobs once wrote, "The only way to do great work is to love the work you do." That has been our living motive long before I heard this quote.

Obama Won't Answer Whether Or Not He'll Leave The U.S.
Zara Zhi
In October, Josh Earnest, The White House press secretary, skirted around reporters' questions about whether President Barack Obama would leave the U.S. if Donald Trump took over his job in January.
Now that the billionaire businessman and reality star has won the election, Obama has still not given a clear answer.
At a press conference aboard Air Force One on Oct. 24, before last week's shocking election result, Earnest told reporters Obama would "spend a significant amount of time" campaigning for Hillary Clinton and other Democrats, Politico reported at the time.
When asked if Obama would leave the country if Trump were to be elected, Earnest responded with, "He's working very hard to make sure that nobody has to leave the country as a result of an electoral outcome that the president doesn't support."
Earnest also said at the time that Trump is unfit to lead the country.
"Make sure she wins big" Obama reportedly said at a fundraiser in California on Oct. 24." Send a message about who we are as a people, send a clear message about what America stands for."
"We want to win big," Obama continued. "We want to win big. We don't want to just eke it out -- particularly when the other guy's already starting to gripe about the game is rigged."
Likewise, Trump criticized Obama's campaign against him.
"This guy, all he does is campaign," Trump told a rally in St. Augustine, Florida. "He ought to go back and try and get some jobs for our country."
"All he does is campaign," Trump continued. "We have an incompetent president. We have a president that doesn't know what he's doing."
After Trump's shocking win on Nov. 8, the republican president elect reversed his earlier promise to repeal Obamacare, also known as the Affordable Care Act, by stating he plans to keep parts of the act, BCC reports.
On the campaign trail, Trump said Obamacare was a "total disaster" and "a catastrophe."
During his hour-and-a-half meeting with Obama on Nov. 10, Trump said he has reexamined dismantling the ACA.
"I told him I will look at his suggestions, and out of respect, I will do that," Trump said at Trump Tower, according to The Wall Street Journal. "Either Obamacare will be amended, or repealed and replaced."
His surprise decision may have come after 100,000 applicants signed up to join Obamacare the day after the election.
Around 22 million Americans would be without health insurance if the bill was revoked, BBC reports.

I'm trying to build a flow to insert a CSV file to a table I'm able to read the file correctly but when I try to load it with the InsertDatatable object but at the time I select the ProviderName it fails even when using any of the both options available for Oracle.
Exception occurred: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.
Exception occurred: System.Data.OracleClient requires Oracle client software version 8.1.7 or greater.
What am I missing? How I can make it work?
Please verify the version of .Net Framework, and the version of Oracle client software installed. It sounds like these might be running older releases that we are not recognizing.
I've seen this problem once before, but with a different component that uses the Oracle thick client rather than the ODP.NET drivers.
Go to the Oracle Client folder.
On security Tab, Add "Authenticated Users" and give this account Read & Execute permission.
Apply this security for all folders, Subfolders and Files (IMPORTANT).
Don't Forget to REBOOT your Machine; if you forgot to do this you will still face the same problem unless you restart your machine.
Again, not sure if this will apply to Javelin since it uses different drivers.
Under the Oracle client directory I have a tnsnames.ora file with the entry to connect to our development db server. But I'm not sure on how to specify to use this TNS entry.
It looks like this error is a known issue, which is discussed in https://comm.support.ca.com/kb/ora12154-tns-could-not-resolve-the-connect-identifier-specified/kb000004745. Please review this knowledge document and let us know if this does not resolve your issue.
I've done what the document says and copied over the tnsnames.ora over the GTDatamaker folder but it keeps appearing the error.
And this is when it is getting executed from Javelin so I don't know if it should go on another folder or somewhere else.
Also I don't know what string I should put under the DataSource property I've put "SERVER=GLDDAPPS" but I don't know if that is sufficient for the tool to go, check the TNSNAMES.ora file for the entry.
Just to clarify, the document states that the tnsnames.ora file should be placed in both directories. You mentioned you copied it to GTDatamaker. Could you please verify the file also is in C:\Grid-Tools\TDoD\TDoD_ConfigEditor\libraries?
I'll need to check on javelin to see if there is another directory used by it.
I'm running Javelin on my local machine so I don't have TDoD installed, only Datamaker and Javelin.
Are you still experiencing this issue ?
Hi Ryan, I am not having this issue anymore.
It seems that I only have to put the name of the connection and not the whole string.
