Please Support My Quarterly Fundraiser: I'm Hoping to Raise $3500 (£2400) for My Guantánamo Work
Please support my work!
Dear friends and supporters,
It's that time of year, and I hope that, if you value my work, you can help me out.
Exactly ten years ago, I began working full-time on Guantánamo, first writing my book The Guantánamo Files, and then, since May 2007, the 1,919 articles about Guantánamo I have written so far, which are all published here.
Every three months, I ask you, if you can, to make a donation to support my work on Guantánamo and related issues. I'm hoping to raise $3,500 (£2,400) for the next three months, which is just $270 (£180) a week for my regular writing about Guantánamo, telling the prisoners' stories, and campaigning to get the prison closed.
If you don't already know, I need to let you know that most of my work is reader-funded. I receive no institutional funding for this website, and I really can't continue to do the work I do without your support. Any amount will be gratefully received, whether it is $25, $100 or $500 — or any amount in any other currency (£15, £50 or £250, for example). PayPal will convert any currency you pay into dollars, which I chose as my main currency because the majority of my supporters are in the US.
So if you can help out at all, please click on the "Donate" button above to donate via PayPal (and I should add that you don't need to be a PayPal member to use PayPal). You can also make a recurring payment on a monthly basis by ticking the box marked, "Make This Recurring (Monthly)," and if you are able to do so, it would be very much appreciated.
Readers can pay via PayPal from anywhere in the world, but if you're in the UK and want to help without using PayPal, you can send me a cheque (address here — scroll down to the bottom of the page), and if you're not a PayPal user and want to send cash from anywhere else in the world, that's also an option. Please note, however, that foreign checks are no longer accepted at UK banks — only electronic transfers. Do, however, contact me if you'd like to support me by paying directly into my account.
We are now in the 15th year of operations at Guantánamo, and although President Obama recently delivered a plan to Congress for the prison's closure before he leaves office, it is by no means certain that Congress will cooperate with him, or that, if necessary, he can do it without lawmakers' support.
As a result, we need to keep up the pressure on the Obama administration to get Guantánamo closed once and for all. I continue to campaign for Guantánamo's closure — through the Countdown to Close Guantánamo, for example, and through my regular reporting, including my detailed scrutiny of the Periodic Review Boards — and with your help I will continue to do as much as I can, through my writing, research, campaigning, media appearances and personal appearances, to work towards Guantánamo's closure.
With thanks, as ever, for your interest in my work. As mentioned above, I honestly can't do what I do without your help, and I will be very grateful if you can make any kind of donation to support me.
Andy Worthington is a freelance investigative journalist, activist, author, photographer, film-maker and singer-songwriter (the lead singer and main songwriter for the London-based band The Four Fathers, whose debut album, 'Love and War,' is available for download or on CD via Bandcamp — also see here). He is the co-founder of the Close Guantánamo campaign (and the Countdown to Close Guantánamo initiative, launched in January 2016), the co-director of We Stand With Shaker, which called for the release from Guantánamo of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in the prison (finally freed on October 30, 2015), and the author of The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison (published by Pluto Press, distributed by the University of Chicago Press in the US, and available from Amazon, including a Kindle edition — click on the following for the US and the UK) and of two other books: Stonehenge: Celebration and Subversion and The Battle of the Beanfield. He is also the co-director (with Polly Nash) of the documentary film, "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantánamo" (available on DVD here — or here for the US).
Please also consider joining the Close Guantánamo campaign.

My friends, it's that time of the year when I ask you, if you appreciate my work on Guantanamo and related issues, to make a donation to support me. I'm hoping to raise $3500 (£2400) to keep me solvent for the next three months, and as a journalist and campaigner whose work is largely reader-funded, I hope you understand that I really can't do what I do without your financial support. All donations – however large or small – will be very gratefully received. Click on the link for the "Donate" button via PayPal.

If anyone can help it will be very welcome. It has just occurred to me that I've been working full-time on Guantanamo for ten years – and three days! On Mar. 4, 2006, the Pentagon was obliged to release thousands of pages of documents about the prisoners, which was the start of my full-time research for my book The Guantanamo Files: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/04/politics/04gitmo.html

Some background about the emigration from Asturias
Thousands of Asturians emigrated to Argentina, Mexico, Cuba and other parts of 'the Americas' in the 19th and 20th century. Many of them found their new home in these countries. Only around 5% of them returned.
Casas de Indianos
The returning emigrants were called Indianos. They built large mansions reflecting their newly acquired wealth. These houses and gardens bear little resemblance to the local Asturian architecture. Indeed, they are more similar to homes found in Buenos Aires, Havana, or Mexico. In the town of Colombres alone, there are 68 of these Casas de Indianos.
Asturian Emigration Museum
An optional visit of this ancestry tour in Asturias is the 'Indianos Archive' or Emigration Museum in Colombres. This museum is situated in a typical Casa de Indianos built in 1906 by a returning emigrant from Mexico. In this museum you find various artifacts related to the Asturian emigration. For example, travel tickets, posters announcing ship departures and photographs of various Asturian associations formed in the new world.

Your new make-up ally. How does Lashcode work?
Can you imagine a day without wearing make-up? I can't, although, I have to admit that I'm used to applying very minimalistic one. Mainly because of little time I have at my disposal but also because I don't want to overburden my face with many cosmetics that might clog my skin pores. However, there is one product I can't resign from – a mascara that defines my eyelashes perfectly.
I find a mascara to be this kind of product that should be always close at hand. Also, for me it's a product thanks to which I can leave my home without full make-up yet with my eyelashes defined. Does Lashcode fulfil this task?
Lashcode application is very pleasant because the mascara doesn't leave smudges on the eyelids, it doesn't clump my lashes together and is really good at separating the hair. Just amazing, isn't it?
According to the producer, all of the above-mentioned is the result of the velvet formula and the precise brush. I have to tell you that this wand is truly out of the common. On one hand its shape, it looks just regular but, on the other hand, its silicone bristle is thick enough and is really elastic. Basically, the entire brush is flexible thanks to which it bends to adjust easily to the shape of the eye. Definitely, it's easier to coat eyelashes with such an applicator rather than by using a stiff brush, which can harm our eyeballs if we wield it unskilfully. Beautifying eyelashes with Lashode is just simple.
The effect of Lashcode is something I couldn't obtain by using other mascaras. Just by applying one coat my eyelashes become extended, fuller and covered with a velvet, intensively black layer. They look really natural and at the same time the eyelashes are very expressive and enhanced. Even without full make-up, without eye shadows and eye-liner, Lashcode gifts my eyelashes with a very feminine shape. When I apply two coats, I get, as I call it, the party look. Thanks to this, I can resign from false eyelashes completely.
The lifespan of Lashcode deserves to be discussed in a separate paragraph because this is one of the mascara's features we find the most important, don't we? I can tell you that Lashcode coats hold out the entire day, and the effect it delivers remains unchanged no matter the time of the day (whether it is very early in the morning, or late at night). It is completely flake-free and smudge-free despite not being waterproof. In my opinion, Lashcode mascara is a cosmetic of a great quality.
I'm amazed because I was slowly getting fed up with changing mascaras. I wanted to find this one, good product and so far I think I've managed to accomplish my personal mission. Lashcode mascara fulfils my expectations when it comes both to the effects and the lifespan. The price is also bearable because I bought many mascaras of similar cost which, to be honest, were suitable just to throw them out. Luckily, the story with Lashcode ended up differently!
The biggest (positive) surprise are the caring features of the mascara. It has never crossed my mind that it's possible to take care of my eyelashes during day therefore, I'm positively surprised that Lashcode contains a set of nourishing substances that improve eyelash condition always when I'm wearing my make-up. After a few first weeks I noticed that my eyelashes became stronger and more flexible. Also, I notice less of them falling out. Actually, I also find my eyelashes longer but probably it's just the consequence of their condition improvement.
Would I recommend Lashcode? Of course, I would! I think that this is a beauty product suitable for every woman who expects from a mascara to be reliable and deliver profound effects. Lashcode is something more than just make-up – it's eyelash beautifying at their very core.

Quickie (Animated Feature) Reviews: Coco and Ferdinand
Posted by Hannah Buchdahl aka Mainstream Chick on December 14, 2017
First things first. Disney-Pixar's Coco is way better than Ferdinand and will probably win Best Animated Feature at the 2018 Oscar ceremony in March. So if you have to pick just one, Coco is the better bet, especially for anyone aged seven and up.
Coco tells the story of a 12-year-old boy named Miguel (voice of Anthony Gonzalez) who aspires to be a great musician, just like his idol, Mexican legend Ernesto de la Cruz. But Miguel's family has long banned music in the house, because they believe that Miguel's great-great-grandfather abandoned the family, including his young daughter Coco, to pursue a career in music. Great-great-granddad's been cut out of all the family photos and doesn't get honored –let alone acknowledged – during Mexico's annual 'Day of the Dead' (Dia de los Muertos) celebrations. As that big day approaches, a mysterious chain of events lands Miguel in the Land of the Dead, where he meets up with several of his ancestors. They are a cheery bunch of skeletons who have the power to send Miguel back to the Land of the Living. But they impose one condition: Miguel must agree to give up music once and for all. He refuses, and takes off in search of the one other relative who may be able to get him home: his great-great-grandfather.
Along the way, Miguel encounters Hector (voice of Gael García Bernal), a down-on-his-luck skeleton who sees Miguel as his ticket to visiting the other side, and skeletal superstar de la Cruz (voice of Benjamin Bratt), who is just as popular among the dead as he was among the living.
There's one major plot twist you sort of see coming, and another that seems a bit harsh for a Disney-Pixar narrative. But all-in-all, Coco is a delightful, heartwarming and colorful movie about the power of family, culture, traditions and dreams. Considering it's from the same folks who brought you Finding Dory, Inside Out and Toy Story, it's not surprising that Coco hits the right notes with its characters, story and heart. The movie features a stellar all-Latino cast and at least one big song that could stick in your head straight through awards season: "Remember Me."
Whereas Coco is likely to stick with you, Blue Sky's Ferdinand will not. It's a relatively sweet animated movie that is enjoyable enough – for kids and adults – while you're in the theater, but will vanish from your consciousness before you can say olé!
Set in Spain (where bullfighting fans still claim the bloody spectacle is part of its national heritage), Ferdinand tells the story of a giant bull with a big heart who doesn't have the same ambition to fight as the bulls he's been raised with. After a typically tragic twist of animated animal fate, a young Ferdinand (voiced by John Cena) runs away from the bull farm and finds a loving home on a farm that grows flowers, not fighters. He's basically a typical family pet that happens to get really, really big. One day, poor Ferdinand gets stung by a bee and goes off on what looks to others like a rampage through town (cue the bull in the china shop). He ends up getting captured and sent back to his old digs, where he catches the eye of a retiring matador, El Primero who is looking for just the right bull for his final fight in the ring – and his final trophy head. (yikes!)
The movie is inspired by the children's book, "The Story of Ferdinand" by Munro Leaf and Robert Lawson. I never read it, though I suspect the tag line works in print as well as on-screen: You can't judge a bull by its cover. Ferdinand is a comedy adventure that hints to the gory nature of bullfighting while focusing on farm animal antics. There's even a dance-off with three obnoxious German horses that live on the farm next door. It doesn't do much to advance the plot, but it is mildly entertaining, as is the appearance of Lupe, the so-called "calming goat" (voiced by Kate McKinnon) who nominates herself to be Ferdinand's personal trainer. The movie has its cute and heartwarming moments. But it's no Coco.

Russell Crowe suits up for Superman 'Man of Steel'
KERRY O'SHEA
Russell Crowe in costume for Superman 'Man of Steel'Google Images
Russell Crowe was recently photographed on the 'Man of Steel' set in his character's new and updated costume. In the film, Crowe is playing the character of Jor-El, Superman's biological father.
Crowe's costume features robe-like garments in rather drab colors and what appears to be a cape down his back. EOnline points out how the updated costume is a "far cry" from that of Marlon Brando's in the 1978 version of the film. In it, Brando was sporting an "ultra-white" ensemble for his depiction of Jor-El.
Russell Crowe lost over 16lbs on a tough new exercise and diet regime

Michael Shannon to play super villain in Superman movie
The earthy and metallic color scheme does appear to work in conjunction with that of Superman's new costume, EOnline draws attention to. Henry Cavill (the new Superman) and his new suit have also come under scrutiny for perhaps stepping too far away from the original depictions of Superman.
The new installment of Superman'Man of Steel' is set to hit theaters in June of 2013. Until then, the public will just have to wait for more sneak peeks of the design of the new costumes.

In it had happened, Joseph Poorgrass said
In Hardy's novels, fate plays quite a major part. Throughout 'Far from the Madding Crowd', he hints at Fanny's misfortune and, ultimately her death. In one scene at the Malthouse, Joseph Poorgrass, Laban Tall and Billy Smallbury were discussing Fanny's disappearance, and the conversation suddenly changed to the question of how had she died. They all speculate on how it had happened, Joseph Poorgrass said 'tis burned', Laban Tall said 'tis drowned' and Billy Smallbury said 'tis her father's razor'.
Drowning indicates that her death was an accident, being burnt to death indicates either an accident or foul play, and finally, a razor could indicate that she had committed suicide. At this point in the story it wasn't a particularly important bit of speech, but looking back on it, this is Hardy's way of hinting at her death. He also hints at Bathsheba's misfortune with the men in her life, but not as often as he hints at Fanny's fate. In chapter forty, Hardy gives us many instances in which fate is hinted at, and that is only on the first few pages.
We Will Write a Custom Essay about In it had happened, Joseph Poorgrass said
Chapter forty is a good chapter to look at because it is the chapter before Fanny actually dies. The first instance is in the second paragraph, which says 'shutting out every speck of heaven', it is a peculiar metaphor to describe the sky, and one that further adds to the suspicion of Fanny's death. The other is in the next paragraph, where she herself says 'I shall be in my grave before now', and in the next chapter she does. 'Afresh dead leaves' is another example of doom and gloom, 'not a sound of life' another.
Over these few pages there is a very high concentration of these kind of phrases and words. They help to build up to something by hinting at the future, and so we can predict the events (fate). After Fanny dies and Troy buries her in the churchyard, if you excuse the pun, Hardy puts the final nail in the coffin. It was raining very heavily and the water collected up on the roof of the church, ran down the side, down the gurgoyle and straight onto Fanny's grave. It completely destroyed her grave.
The flowers were damaged by the amount of rain pressing down on them and swept away by the stream of water flowing from the gurgoyle's mouth, as was the mud. All that Troy had done for Fanny had been thrown back in his face, this probably the best example of a mockery of fate in the entire book. Allegories Hardy uses allegories in his novel to convey different social ideas. In 'Far from the Madding Crowd', it works on two levels of understanding, if you are older and more worldly then you can see that Fanny is obviously pregnant, but if you are younger then you won't understand this and your innocence is preserved.
Another is that when Joseph escorts Fanny's coffin back to Weatherbury, nature becomes an allegory of the attitudes people have towards Fanny Robin, the fog becomes the barrier between Fanny and what is right, the gloom indicates the peoples' feelings towards her and all the death and doom and gloom phrases like 'the hollow echo' and 'strange clouds' portray the emptiness that Fanny felt. Hardy uses such literary devices such as this because in the time that he wrote it, it was considered an outrage to be pregnant and not married.
Because of this, Hardy disguised this fact until he could no longer do so, and so to offend as fewer people as possible, we must take into account the fact that this novel was first printed as a serial in a family magazine called 'Cornhill'. After I had read through the entire book, I re-read chapter forty, and on doing so I came to a few of my own conclusions. Namely that chapter forty was an allegory for Fanny dying.
The way she is getting further and further to Casterbridge, where she is safe and 'there is light' is reminiscent of heaven. Her dog is like an angel, her guide on the way there, but in the end of the chapter it was stoned away. I am not sure as to whether it was an allegory or not, it would make for an interesting debate. Pathetic Fallacies A pathetic fallacy is when nature or inanimate objects are credited with human emotions, which basically amplifies the mood of the scene.
In chapter forty-two, when Joseph Poorgrass is escorting Fanny's coffin to Weatherbury, there are many examples of this. Such phrases portraying nature's hostility to him and the coffin are 'a startling quiet', 'unfathomable gloom' and 'dead silence'. This indicates the fact that even nature is against her. The wagon wheels signify Joseph's nervousness. It is quite eerie, the adjectives he used indicate a kind of ghost-like presence, he does this by using words and phrases like: 'no perceptible motion', 'loomed', 'unfathomable gloom', etc.
This creates a very gloomy and tense atmosphere, not dissimilar to that of the atmosphere in chapter forty when Fanny is on Casterbridge highway, one of impending doom and isolation. The weather is used as a good descriptive device to display emotions and attitudes. 'Strange clouds', 'fog' and 'scrolls of mist' are used effectively in the same chapter to display the forthcoming events between Bathsheba and Troy concerning Fanny, the deceit and lies Troy had spun, which he could no longer deny or push away with the flick of his hand.
The phrases and words used create a very overcast effect of death. Twists, Turns, Cliffhangers and Subtle ends to Chapters In thinking about these factors in the story, we must remember once again that the story was published in segments in a magazine. Therefore, to keep egging the reader on, cliffhangers and other devices along the same lines are needed to keep the interest going. There must be a suitable end to each segment that is sufficient in action and suspense to make the reader come back for more.
Examples of this are when Fanny re-appears in chapter thirty-nine and Troy arranges a meeting, when Fanny inadvertently breaks up Bathsheba's marriage with Troy and when Fanny's grave is decimated. It is for this reason that some chapters are more action-packed than others; if there is a lot of action or a twist in the tale then this may have been the end of a segment. One of these twists is when Troy leaves Weatherbury to go out and work on the high seas. It is totally unexpected and an interesting way to finish Troy and Bathsheba's marriage.
Hardy got our hopes up again when Fanny resurfaced in chapter thirty nine and met Troy, we were given the false hope that things might work out between Fanny and Troy, but a couple of chapters later she died. Another such twist is when Troy re-appears at the 'Sheep Fair', and later gets shot by Boldwood. I found these bits very interesting, and helped to keep my interest. I was quite intrigued to see what would happen to Troy and Bathsheba eventually, and also what would happen to Fanny in the end, although I didn't have to be a genius to work out that she was going to die at some point in the novel.
An interesting twist was when Fanny was buried and you thought that all was done and dusted, but no Hardy was not finished with her yet, he had to destroy her grave before she could be left alone. Pathos Hardy writes his novels with a certain amount of pathos. Some of the things he writes will invoke you with sadness or pity, especially the ones involving poor old Fanny Robin (or Bathsheba in some of the later chapters). Fanny Robin has to be pitied. She is a poor homeless young girl, madly in love with a flirtatious soldier.
She is promised marriage, and she messes that up by going to the wrong church and on arriving at the right church, Troy decides he has had enough and leaves. She is pregnant without a husband, which was seen as a terrible thing at the time, and, after losing Troy, she gets him back only to die, child and all. A truly sad and pitiful story, her youth and innocence were the death of her. The saddest thing of all was the fact that nobody paid for her to have a bell toll or even for a grave for her.
This is very sad, even in death she is truly alone, and if you notice, in chapter forty-five, even Fanny's grave was on its own (a pathetic fallacy), and to a certain extent, hidden from the view of the public, just like her pregnancy. Fanny's life, from the small part of it we saw, was riddled with sadness, deception and broken promises. She didn't even find happiness in her grave for more than a day before nature wreaked havoc upon it. I couldn't work out whether Hardy wanted the reader to pity Fanny or just look on her as a young woman who was led astray. He gives statements that support both sides of the argument.

Q: How to log out External Authentication Schemes like Facebook in ASP .NET MVC Core? I have a ASP .NET MVC Core app and I am implementing a very simple login page where I use IdentityUser to let the user login with Username, Email and Password. I also am using External Authentication Providers such as Facebook as well. Normal login/logout is working as it should. And when it comes to facebook, the login works fine:
 public IActionResult FacebookLogin()
    {
        AuthenticationProperties authProps = new AuthenticationProperties
        {
            RedirectUri = Url.Action("Index", "Home")
        };

        return Challenge(authProps, "Facebook");
    }

But I have problem to logout when I am logged in using Facebook. Here is my logout code:
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Logout()
    {
        await _signinManager.SignOutAsync();
        return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
    }

No matter what I do, I cant logout when I'm logged in using Facebook
Any Help appreciated.
It is worth noting that I have a partial view as follows:

Whenever I login with facebook it the IsAuthenticated flag is set to true, but when I log out it is never set to false

A: Thanks to @R.Richards for sharing on older post. You can see it here
I opted to use the following code in my Logout Action Method:
Response.Cookies.Delete(".AspNetCore.<nameofcookie>");

In my Startup.cs and in Configure method:
 app.UseCookieAuthentication(new CookieAuthenticationOptions
        {
            AuthenticationScheme = "ApplicationCookie",
            AutomaticAuthenticate = true
        });

        app.UseFacebookAuthentication(new FacebookOptions
        {
            AuthenticationScheme = "Facebook",
            AppId = "App_ID",
            AppSecret = "Secret_Id",
            SignInScheme = "ApplicationCookie",
            AutomaticAuthenticate = true
        });

and in my AccountController in the Logout action method:
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<IActionResult> Logout()
    {
        await _signinManager.SignOutAsync();
        Response.Cookies.Delete(".AspNetCore.ApplicationCookie");
        return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
    }

Perhaps there's some symbolism in this shirt I saw in Jiangmen, China, today on International Women's Day.
More about what I saw here today . . . tomorrow.
Thanks to the mother for encouraging the child wearing the dress, who I hadn't noticed at first, to join in.
One recent post referenced a sign at the Zhuhai Port Plaza underground shopping mall. A more recent post referenced a new mobile phone from Xiaomi marketed as being great for selfies. While looking for something else, I realized I had a photo of something which brings these two topics together: a dress on sale for 35 yuan (about US $5.30) at the Zhuhai Port Plaza.
Among other possibilities, the "Selfie" dress would be fitting for somebody interested in taking a meta-selfie.

Breaking News...Scientology To Blame for Tom & Katie's Divorce!
Afraid Tom Would Ship Suri
To Radical Scientology Org
The final straw in Katie Holmes' decision to file for divorce was that she was convincedTom Cruise was going to send 6-year-old Suri away to a hardcore Scientology organization known as Sea Organization ... sources connected with Katie tell TMZ.
Sea Org, as it is known, is where the highest levels of Scientology are taught and kids as young as five can be sent to live there ... without their parents -- and our sources say Tom is a big fan.
Our sources say Katie and Tom had been arguing over Suri's indoctrination into Scientology -- and we're told the Sea Org was the flashpoint.
The Sea Org has been often compared to a boot camp and several ex-Scientologists (including Oscar winner Paul Haggis) have been outspoken against its military-like conditions. The Freewinds, the massive Scientology boat that was the location of Cruise's infamous birthday party in 2004, is entirely staffed by Sea Org members.
According to the official Scientology website, members of Sea Org sign "a one-billion-year pledge to symbolize their eternal commitment to the religion and it is still signed by all members today."
Katie herself has first-hand knowledge of the Sea Org. When Holmes and Cruise first hooked up in 2005, Jessica Feshbach, a prominent Scientologist who had been with the Sea Org since 1994, was transferred and became Katie's assistant/Scientology chaperone. Feshbach, in one of Katie's first interviews after getting together with Cruise, was described by a writer for W magazine as "cold-eyed" and "a third-wheel."
In the end ... we're told Katie felt the only way to save Suri from being shipped off to Sea Org was to file for divorce and seek sole legal custody.

Q: Undefined Method 'metadata' when uploading using mongoid-paperclip gem Can't find out why I'm getting this when trying to upload files with Mongoid and Paperclip.
undefined method `metadata' for #<ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile:0x10625e930>

I'm running the following (latest of paperclip, mongoid-paperclip and aws-s3):
gem "rails", "3.0.6"
gem "mongoid", "2.0.1"
gem "bson_ext", "1.3.0"
gem "paperclip"
gem "mongoid-paperclip", :require => "mongoid_paperclip"
gem "aws-s3",            :require => "aws/s3"

I've seen places recommending adding the following to an initializer for things that appear to be similar.  I've done this, but to no avail.
if defined? ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile
    ActionDispatch::Http::UploadedFile.send(:include, Paperclip::Upfile)
end

Anyone else encounter this?

A: I have the the uploader:
class Image
  include Mongoid::Document
  embedded_in :imageable, polymorphic: true
  mount_uploader :file, ImageUploader
end

Which is used in all my classes containing images, such as:
class Shop
  include Mongoid::Document
  embeds_one :logo, as: :imageable, :class_name => 'Image', cascade_callbacks: true
end

Then in the form looks like this:
<%= form_for @shop do |f| %>
  <%= f.fields_for :cover do |u|%>
    <%= u.file_field :file %>
  <% end %>
  <%= f.submit 'Save' %>
<% end %>

I think this is a pretty neat way to handle the problem.

A: As I said above, I had a similar problem with Mongoid, Carrierwave and GridFS.
My solution is super hacky but it worked for me.
I had an Image class which is where my image was mounted
class Image
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Mongoid::Timestamps

  field :title
  field :image
  field :order

  mount_uploader :image, ImageUploader
  embedded_in :article
end

class Article
  include Mongoid::Document
  ...
  embeds_one :image
  ...
end

My carrierwave uploader wanted the attributes sent to it with the key of the mount uploader (image).
Image.create( :image => image_attributes)

But the article's new/edit form created something that looked like:
:article => { :image => #ActionDispatch... }

instead of
:article => { :image => { :image => #ActionDispatch... } }

so my solution was to change the name of the field in the form to
file_field :article, :photo

and then add a photo setter to the article class that created an image
model Article
  include Mongoid::Document
  ...
  def photo=(attrs)
    create_image(:image => attrs)
  end
end

I tried this with image= but it infinitely recursed and did evil things.
I also tried this
file_field "article[image]", :image

without the setter and it didn't raise an exception but it also didn't save my image.
as far as i know, paperclip is pretty similar in these regards.  Maybe this will work for someone or someone can clean up my mess

Bayern vs. Leverkusen Preview: Champions Fancied for Winning Start
August 16, 2017 Gareth McKnight 0
Bayern Munich begins defense of their Bundesliga title Friday when they host Bayer Leverkusen at the Allianz Arena.
The reigning champions are heavy betting favourites to secure their sixth league championship in a row and are odds-on to make a winning start against Leverkusen. The bet365 app has Bayern priced at around 2/9 to extend their unbeaten run against Leverkusen to five games.
Bayern have strengthened their squad this summer by signing James Rodriguez from Real Madrid and Corentin Tolisso from Lyon, but they will be without Xabi Alonso and Philipp Lahm who have both retired.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti faces a few selection headaches for the game with Rodriguez, Jerome Boateng, and Juan Bernat all ruled out. Captain Manuel Neuer is recovering from a foot injury, while Thiago Alcantara and Javi Martinez are unlikely to play.
Bayern still boast plenty of firepower, with the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Thomas Muller, and Arjen Robben all fancied to score the first goal. Lewandowski bagged 43 goals in all competitions for the club last season and is just 2/1 to open the scoring against Leverkusen.
Bayern won the corresponding fixture 2-1 last term and can be backed at 8/1 for a repeat performance on Friday.
New Leverkusen boss Heiko Herrlich will be keen to improve on last season's disappointing 12th place finish.
Herrlich's side needed extra-time to see off Karlsruhe in the first round of the DFB Pokal last week, and the 5/1 on offer to beat Bayern looks rather short when you consider that performance. Striker Stefan Kiebling and centre-back Tin Jedvaj are set to miss the game, but brothers Sven and Lars Bender should both be available for selection.
Bayern have historically dominated games against Leverkusen on their home patch, winning 30 and drawing six of their 39 previous meetings. They also won 19 of their 25 Bundesliga matches at home since the start of 2016 (W19 D5 L1), with 16 of those victories by two goals or more.
Odds of around 33/1 for Leverkusen to repeat their 2012/13 heroics and record a 2-1 success are a measure of the task they face on Friday.
Bayern have been hugely impressive in their opening matches over the past two campaigns, beating Werder Bremen 6-0 last season and 5-0 the year before.
The total goals market lists over 4.5 goals during the game at 11/4, and that could certainly pay dividends.

When Rackspace went private late last year, we did so mainly because, at this point in our history, we need to make major, long-term investments in the capabilities our customers are demanding. And that's just what we're doing.
Today, we announced that we've reached agreement to purchase Datapipe, a leading provider of managed services across public and private clouds, managed hosting and colocation.
Based in Jersey City, New Jersey. Datapipe has 825 employees who work at 11 offices in the U.S., U.K., and Asia. It has 29 data centers in nine countries across the U.S., U.K., continental Europe, Asia, the Pacific and Latin America.
We expect to obtain financing and regulatory approvals for this transaction by the fourth quarter of 2017. Once that happens, this will be the biggest acquisition, by far, in Rackspace history. And it will have a big impact on our ability to deliver the multi-cloud services that today's customers are demanding. They want us to give them expert, unbiased advice, and manage their applications on whichever clouds will best meet their unique needs. They want us to serve them at scale, from data centers and offices across the globe. And they want the world's best customer experience, across digital tools and results-obsessed customer service. Our mission is to meet those needs — today and as they evolve.
While this transaction will make Rackspace larger, we will retain the nimbleness, accessibility, and responsiveness that customers of both Rackspace and Datapipe cite when they explain why they choose us over the giant systems integrators and divisions of telephone companies.
The world's leading provider of multi-cloud managed services.
The world's leading provider of managed public cloud services: across all the hyper-scale infrastructure providers: the Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, and Microsoft Azure.
The world's leading provider — now by a wider margin — of the managed hosting and private cloud solutions that more companies are using as they move out of their corporate data centers, in search of better performance, agility, and cost efficiency.
As we've learned more about one another, leaders of Rackspace and Datapipe have been struck by how similar our two companies are. Both are known for engaged employee cultures, technical expertise, exceptional customer service and profitable growth. Both are leaders in the Gartner Magic Quadrant assessments of providers of managed cloud services, and in industry rankings by Forrester and other leading analyst firms. Rackspace intends to build on the industry leadership the two companies have established in reliability and support, to create a new level of end-to-end customer experience.
Experience serving public sector customers, including the U.S. Departments of Defense, Energy and Treasury, and the U.K. Cabinet Office, Ministry of Justice and Department of Transport. Datapipe has achieved coveted FedRAMP and FISMA certifications.
Data centers and offices in key markets, including the West Coast of the U.S., Brazil, mainland China and Russia, where Rackspace today has little or no presence — and where our multinational customers want us to serve them.
Software and tooling that will help us better serve enterprise customers: e.g., ServiceNow orchestration and automation, e-bonding with customer ticketing systems.
More robust professional services for customers that want to migrate to managed public cloud.
Traditional colocation services across four continents, to reduce cost and risk for customers moving applications out of their corporate data centers.
Managed services on the Alibaba Cloud (the largest in China).
Deep experience in managed multiple major workloads for large enterprises. While Rackspace today serves a majority of the global giants in the Fortune 100, our acquisition of Datapipe will enable us to serve even more of the needs of enterprise and midmarket customers. Datapipe manages multiple major workloads for big customers including Johnson & Johnson, McDonald's and Rubbermaid.
Managed services for enterprise applications, including those in the Oracle and SAP ecosystems, which we added with our recent acquisition of TriCore Solutions.
Managed services for applications used in digital marketing, ecommerce and web content management.
Deep experience in Microsoft, VMware and OpenStack private clouds, including new service offerings for Azure Stack and VMware Cloud on AWS.
Rackspace will lead a thoughtful and thorough integration process, working with leaders from both companies. Throughout this process, we will take special care to maintain and enhance the customer experience that has differentiated both Rackspace and Datapipe from our competitors.
Like most transactions of this size, ours will require multiple regulatory approvals in the U.S. and abroad. We expect it to close sometime in the fourth quarter of this year. We'll keep you posted on our progress, and look forward to delivering the best service yet to the customers of both companies.

Vineglorious! Switzerland's Wondrous World of Wines, by Ellen Wallace
Pierre Latine P Gex.jpg
Posted by sfw.pro
By Laurent Probst, December 20th 2015
The tone is set as soon as we enter the courtyard at La Pierre Latine estate in Yvorne. "Come in, and let's have a glass" at only ten o'clock in the morning. The conversation is launched rapidly. And before talking of the winemaker, we take an interest in the public figure. For Philippe Gex is a major personality in the region.
He was a former governor of the Guillon Brotherhood for whose magazine he signed a lively chronic. He just recently stepped down from his position as the mayor of the town of Yvorne and knows all the details of the links between the world of wine and politics. And those links are important in a rural town with eleven hundred inhabitants and still more than two hundred jobs directly related to wine.
A liberal at heart, our man, after being a town counsellor in the early eighties, had returned to the management of his estate. That was until Jacques Deladoye, his predecessor as mayor, very attached to the idea that there should be a winegrower at the town council, manages to convince him to return to politics.
With good humour he tells us the story of his election, a post he left in June 2015. He does not regret having resigned although he thoroughly enjoyed being a mayor for fourteen years.
Today released from his mandate, he is devoted to his own business and family. Also he now likes to see everyone come to him for a discussion rather than a complaint. "Especially the citizens who did not differentiate the public role and from the man a few months ago." He appreciates that this barrier fell as soon he stepped down.
The conversation then moves to his estate. His father, who died early, in 1982, left him a little less than two hectares of vines, which were processed by the cooperative in town.
After producing his own first Pinot Noir vintage in 1987, he now possesses 17 hectares of vines and 23 more are rented. "I am the smallest of the large winegrowers in the region," he tells us with a smile. Surely he has good business acumen.
If the estate of La Pierre Latin enjoys a good reputation, Philippe Gex is also proud to be the co-owner of the Clos du Crosex Grillé. On top of being an exceptional terroir, it has an exceptional history. It used to belong to Suzann Churchill a relative of Winston Churchill, which had acquired it in the 1840s with her husband Aimée Cuénod, a banker in Vevey.
Friendship means a lot to Philippe Gex. He offered the keys to the "capite" (a small hut in the vineyards) of Crosex Grillé to his friend Andrea Scherz, the general manager of the Gstaad Palace Hotel, who likes to come to the "Clos de Gstaad" (pronounced "Close to Gstaad" because the vineyard is the closest on a straight line from the Bernese resort) and there is always a supply of bottles for him and his friends hidden in the hut.

Christmas is, undoubtedly, one of the most festive and tradition-filled holidays of the year. Perhaps you and your family make gingerbread houses or have an annual Christmas movie marathon. Whatever the tradition, there is one thing you will most likely eat during the most wonderful time of the year: Christmas cookies. They come in all kinds: Christmas trees, presents, snowflakes, snowmen, and the list goes on. They are delicious and nostalgic of the jolliest season of the year. The end of the first semester can be very intense. Homework, tests, quizzes, sports practice, games can all take time away from eating Christmas cookies. How can an Ursuline student get a Christmas cookie? Luckily for all Ursuline students, Christmas cookies are within reach. These five bakeries offer some delicious Christmas cookies, and are located close to Ursuline, so you can quickly grab one in between study sessions.
Bird Bakery, located in Highland Park Village, is known mostly for their signature cupcakes, but their main focus this season is upon their delicious Christmas cookies. The cookie itself is a soft, almond-vanilla sugar cookie, with a hint of cherries to it, topped with a cherry-vanilla frosting. It is a true, traditional Christmas cookie. Currently, their two cookie designs are a sprig of holly and a snowman. They also have gingerbread cookies! Bird Bakery, out of all the bakeries around Dallas that offer Christmas cookies, is the only bakery that offers gingerbread cookies. The ginger is not overpowering, and each little cookie has a smile.
Jen's Place Bakery and Café's cookies are massive. The cookie is a true sugar cookie: light and airy. They currently carry Christmas tree and snowmen cookies. The cookies are, by far, the largest of the bunch. They are larger than your hand, so they definitely have the best value size-wise. However, these cookies are quite crumbly, so make sure to have a napkin nearby!
Tart Bakery, on Lovers Lane, has over twenty kinds of Christmas cookies. They are definitely the best designed, featuring Christmas sweaters, reindeers, snowflakes, ornaments, candy canes, Christmas stockings, Santas, gingerbread, snowmen, and winter hat cookies. The cookie is a shortbread, so it is buttery and not very crumbly, unlike most shortbread cookies. There is a good amount of frosting, and the designs are super cute.
Crème de la Cookie in Snider Plaza has snowmen and Christmas tree cookies. The cookies are a traditional sugar cookie with vanilla frosting. The Christmas tree cookie has green glitter and sprinkle ornaments.
Celebrity Café & Bakery, located on Preston and Royal Road, has a changing variety of cookies. Each day, the designs vary but the taste is the same. The rotating variety of the cookies is definitely a high point.
Overall, each bakery sells delicious Christmas cookies that shouts "Christmas!" However, some bakeries outdo the rest. The best value for a cookie would be Jen's Place Bakery and Café, because although the cookies roughly cost the same, the cookies are huge, so you are getting more cookie for your dollar. The best traditional cookie would be Bird Bakery, because of their traditional almond-vanilla cookie that has a hint of cherry to it. Last but not least, the best designed cookie would be Tart, because of the twenty designs they carry daily. All cookies cost from $3.25 to $3.75. But, no matter where you go, these Christmas cookies will be delicious and will help you to have a merry day.


When the subject of salt lamps comes up, the first thing that comes to mind is Himalayan salt lamps. The Himalayan salt is a rock that is mainly found in the Punjab area of Pakistan and it has the amazing properties of aiding in air purification by the generation of negative ions.
These lamps have steadily gained popularity recently thanks to their immense health benefits. Even though there might not be sufficient scientific evidence yet, the numerous user reviews are enough testament to the effectiveness of these lamps in indoor air purification.
Metal basket salt lamps are a type of salt lamps where the salt rock chunks are placed in a sort of metal basket and then a bulb fitted in the center of these chunks. The main idea for using metal baskets is to increase the surface area and so maximizing the production of negative ions.
What Makes a Good Salt Lamp?
There are as many metal salt lamps as there are needs. The list above covers a wide spectrum of all these divergent needs. You should be able to find one that meets your unique taste.
For a soothing experience and a great decorative piece for your home, the metal basket salt lamps from any of these ten, can be a great choice for you.
With over 2,500 customer reviews, this is one of the most popular metal basket salt lamps on Amazon. The lamp is made from hand-mined salt crystals from the Himalayan. It comes in a tall and round structure with a black polishing coated finish. It is fitted with a 25 watt bulb together with UL approved lamp and cord features.
You can also choose the color, whereby orange offers the perfect ambiance.
This metal salt lamp comes in a size of 7" x 6" x 6", priced reasonably, and includes 1 wire mesh lamp. The basket is shaped in a nice and unique handcrafted design. The crystal salt chunks produce negative ions in an evenly distributed manner in the basket.
The use of a low wattage bulb exudes a serene warm glow without using too much electricity.
This is another reasonably priced salt metal lamp and it comes in various designs including flower patterns, Buddha, Bagua, Star, Angel, Sun, Cross, Leaf, Jesus and Snowflake. It comes in the 5" x 5" x 5" dimensions and the rock salt chunks are perfectly placed in the basket.
It comes in the 5" x 5" x 5" dimensions and the rock salt chunks are perfectly placed in the basket.
This salt lamp is tall and measures 6" x 4.5" x 4.5" and reasonably priced. It includes 1 wire mesh frame, and air purification is provided by the salt chunks.
As This lamp is an embodiment of the rich Allies history. As the ancient oceans separated and dried up, they left lots of brine deposits which got buried in the earth from which Crystal Allies Himalayan Salt Lamps lamps originates.
Slightly higher priced that some of the other lamps, this lamp is a handcrafted item and is nicely decorative. The salt chunks are neatly placed inside the basket and on lighting the lamp; there is a soft glow as the chunks go about ridding the air of any toxins. The negative ions produced help curb Dust, Bacteria, Pet Dander, Radiation, Odor, Insomnia, Allergies, Sinus, Depression, Migraines, Anxiety, Fatigue, Colds, ADHD, and asthma.
This metal lamp is quite tall at 8" x 6.9" x 6.8" and that is probably why the designers added a wooden base to ensure its stability. The salt chips are used to fill up the basket and a fitted bulb inside glows soothingly, perfectly allowing the salt to function towards air purification. Added features include its electric wire, and certified cables.
Over 250 customers have posted positive reviews of this lamp.
This metal basket salt lamp is also available in varying designs, example fan, circle, flame, and more. It is tall in structure, and this one is designed in the form of a cylinder basket.
Reasonably priced, this lamp also has a natural lighting and the dimension is 8.1" x 5.7" x 5.3". It can be placed anywhere in the home and still look great.
The designers of this metal lamp really outdid themselves in making a beautiful lamp. It therefore comes as no surprise that it only has only 5 star reviews from all past customers – never mind the fact that it has only 2 reviews. The basket is glass-made, with a wooden base. Priced reasonably, it is lightweight and can be placed anywhere in the home.
When light up, salt lamp not only emits a soft glow but also emits negative ions as well. Negative ions are used to treat illnesses and improve health by restoring air quality and neutralizing positive ions.
Handcrafted with the Neem wood base, this product offers a different look from the other products, naturally ionizing the air around when the light is on. It is not very tall in structure, but designed uniquely with a polished exterior.
Placing salt lamp in an area you use frequently can energize you. The negative ions it produce purify the air, reduces the effects of dust, bacteria, allergies, pet dander, asthma, odor, sinus, fatigue and even colds. It may also relieve symptoms of anxiety and Insomnia.


Long time on black screen while loading.
When I launch squad from steam the initial small loading screen with the logo passes fairly quickly. From there I get the little cut scene contained within the squad logo. After this is when I tend to sit with a black screen for 2 or more minutes before the usual controls display graphic shows up, at which point I wait another minute or so before being brought to the main menu. I get the same problem when I go to load into a server, a minute or two of black screen followed by a minute or so of the controls graphic before finally getting into a match. I have no issues running the game smooth as butter once I'm actually in (almost 100hrs of gameplay show no issues with the in game performance). I am running the game from a HDD not an SSD as I don't have the available funds to upgrade that, not that it appears it would make a difference. Two of my roommates have the game, one runs it off an SSD and one also runs off an HDD and both have drastically faster loading times than me. Any idea whats up? Some specs of my rig that may apply?: 1TB HDD (defragmented routinely) Intel i5 8GB ram GTX960 Thanks a lot for any suggestions guys!
Centerline is off, for a reason?
http://imgur.com/a/vPhxI As this gallery will show, all scoped weapons and launchers have a different center line, either horizontally or vertically. Is this intentional? Here's 2 examples from the album.
Hello! Since the closed beta for squad leaders, and now in the current patch for Squad on Steam, whenever I enter a server my screen is a bright green color. I am not sure how to get rid of it, or why it the issue persists. When I mess around with the gamma bar in settings, the screen's green brightness lessens just a little bit when I turn gamma to maximum, but it still remains. The pictures I am linking are with the gamma on maximum--if it weren't on maximum, it is impossible to see anything. Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Does anyone happen to know the reason for this issue or what I can do to fix it? Thank you.
This is my first topic post here, guys! I've used the search function and didn't find anything directly related to what I'm about the suggest. They're pretty minor things anyways. Injured Debuffs - I think it'd be nice to have some hefty injury effects on player movement, aiming and visibility. Where the player was hit and how badly should be the main focus, methinks. For example, if you are hit in the leg, your character might move with a limp, and therefore aiming while moving will be harder, as well as the loss of the ability to sprint fast. Getting hit in the arms would affect aiming (even when standing still, or prone without a bipod) and getting hit in the head or having a grenade explode near you would affect visibility (flashing red vignette, blurriness, other psychedelic effects). Basic torso injuries should cause shaking and lesser versions of the debuffs mentioned above. I think that this will be an addition to the realism that Squad is aiming for. As for death screens - I think it'd be interesting to shy away from the classic "time until REALLY dead" countdown style, and do something a bit more interesting and intense. I was thinking along the lines of a heartbeat which starts to slow down over time and varies depending on how badly you are injured. It could even speed up when a defibrillator shocks you (if those are added at all, I wouldn't be rattled if they weren't). Another small thing is that I'd like sound to be muffled when dead or unconscious, instead of pristine or gone entirely. Same goes for grenade hits and basic injuries. The latter paragraph was pretty much entirely assuming that a revive style system is going to be added, or at least unconsciousness. If that isn't going to be added, the only part to be acknowledged is the part about audio muffling. Hell, these things might already be basic planned for features (or already in the game for all I know) but I thought it was worth suggesting. I'm all for the little details in these kinds of games.
Squad 'Battle Recorder' Suggestion is for a feature that is the equivalent of Battlefield 2's Battle Recorder. Might be hard to produce one and cause many bugs but there's some ammount of uses: Catching Cheaters, Exploiters and so onDev usage as trailerPlayer footage for game promotionBug catchingPossibly other usesIf it was to be done then try to include a rewind feature or timeline (looks at Battle Recorder with angry face). Obviously not an essential to the game but it does have it's uses in the long term yet it wouldn't be unexpected for SQUAD to not have the feature as the competition doesn't tend to have the feature as far as I'm aware.

All time classic colour that could suit your everyday wear. Maybe for times when you do your grocery shopping or somewhere casual, instead of wearing a gold bangle, a silver bangle would be suitable for the occasion.

Your Tax Money Shouldn't Go To Clean Up Homeless Make Them Do It!
City leaders in California's capital city are poised to spend $400,000 to fund cleaning crews tasked with picking up trash at homeless encampments.
In a 6-0 vote on Tuesday, the Sacramento City Council approved the funds to hire employees and trash disposal equipment, including a Gator-style vehicle to clean up human waste, the Sacramento Bee reported.
The employees will dispose of trash collected by the city's Downtown Street Teams in the downtown and River District, according to a staff report.
The street team currently collects trash outside the city's homeless shelter. The team is composed of homeless volunteers or those at risk of becoming homeless.
Two more teams will launch this winter using state funds received by the city, said Emily Halcon, coordinator of the city's homeless services, but more funding would be needed to expand the program, she said.
In San Francisco, leaders created "poop patrols" to clean up human waste as the city grapples with an increasing homeless population.
Leave Classic Movies Alone Rudolph Isn't Sexist!
Fill a sack with trash, present it at collection site, get a chit, go to food line, eat. Those unable to do so are referred for medical assessment and appropriate care. City gets cleaned up, homeless and bums get some self-esteem back. Everybody wins.

Investing Advice And InformationBull Market Alert HotlinesA "20% Off" Sale On A Global Blue Chip
Do You Own Your Own Life?
A "20% Off" Sale On A Global Blue Chip
Munich-based Allianz Insurance (AZ) is Europe's largest insurer by premium income. Like other insurance giants, Allianz ran into trouble in the early part of the decade when it was hit by high claims and the 2000-to-2002 bear market. Allianz was also hurt by a botched 2001 acquisition of investment bank Dresdner Bank. The insurer has been in investors' doghouse ever since.
But here's why I think Allianz could be in for a solid bounce over the next few weeks, as investors reassess the prospects of this global giant.
First, Allianz recently reported more than €10 billion ($13.18 billion) in full-year operating profit, on record revenues of €101 billion. That got analysts in attendance so excited that they rapped their tables in applause. More importantly, the analysts boosted their profit projections through 2009. Even normally squeamish J.P. Morgan Chase raised Allianz to a "buy."
Second, Allianz is a classic European restructuring story. And successfully wringing inefficiencies out of bloated European behemoths is one of my favorite — and profitable — investment themes. Since arriving in 2002 to clean house, Allianz's CEO Michael Diekmann has trimmed layers in company management and diversified the distribution channels of the company's traditional insurance business.
Diekmann has also developed a business strategy to diversify the revenue base of Allianz away from its traditional reliance on property and casualty insurance by increasing its share of profits from higher-margin units like asset management and banking. Diekmann's goal over the next five years is to get property and casualty down to below 50% of operating income.
Exclusive Do You Own Your Own Life?
Third, despite Allianz's strong results, the stock remains unloved by investors. But that is about to change. With its shares valued at only 9.77 times analysts' estimated per-share earnings for 2007, Allianz is trading at a full 20% discount to global insurers. That makes Allianz the cheapest stock among its European peers.
Diekmann has also adopted an "underpromise, overdeliver" style to managing expectations concerning Allianz — a very smart move, in my view. With analysts uniformly agreeing that the earnings guidance given by Diekmann is conservative, there may be some upside surprises in store for investors. And it's precisely these types of surprises that get stocks back into investors' good graces. Just a narrowing of the discount would give Allianz a significant upside from its current levels.
So buy Allianz (AZ) today at market and place your initial stop at $18.30. That means for every $100 you risk on this trade, you would buy 40 shares — paying approximately $832, based on Friday's closing price of $20.80.

Q: 'Auto' value in binding property 'width' Must attach to the property Width, what I'm doing this:
     <ColumnDefinition Width="{Binding Path=TabPanelWidth, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" />

-
     public float TabPanelWidth
     {
         get {return (float) GetValue (TabPanelWidthProperty);}
         set {SetValue (TabPanelWidthProperty, value);}
     }
     public static readonly DependencyProperty TabPanelWidthProperty = DependencyProperty.Register ("TabPanelWidth", typeof (float), typeof (BivTabControl), new UIPropertyMetadata (null));

But I need a possibility to set not only fixed values, but the values which are expressed in XAML as Auto, 0.5*, and the like.
Any ideas?

A: Your TabPanelWidth property must be of type GridLength. With GridLength you can set auto/star size using GridUnitType.
In fact, I wonder why binding to a float works at all.

A: Use the same datatype instead of a float, it's called GridLength.


Greece is a wonderful country which you should visit if you ever have the chance. However, while there you will probably desire to stay in touch with your friends and family, without paying a fortune in data roaming charges. Luckily, you can now do this by taking advantage of one of the numerous solutions available, that will aid you to save lots of money.
All you need to do is acquire a prepaid Keepgo Data SIM card which can be used in 64 countries and travel destinations around the globe.
Pre-loaded with 1,024MB of mobile internet data.
Send and receive emails, make internet calls using VoIP applications, browse the web, use GPS and Google Maps navigation and more.
Compatible with any unlocked GSM device, including Android and iOS smartphones, tablet PCs, USB modems, WiFi hot-spot routers and more.
For AT&T locked devices please contact us for additional information.
24 Hour Support to assist you around the clock.
There is one more thing that you will need to consider before you depart.
You have to make sure that your phone is unlocked, because if it is not, it will not support a Greece wind SIM card. Generally, when you sign a contract with a certain service provider, you are given a brand new handset, along with a SIM card, and this contract will influence you greatly on a determined period of time. For instance, for the next couple of years, you will not be able to opt for the services of a different provider, and the cellphone which has been given to you is locked, which means that you cannot insert another SIM card, unless you unlock it first. With that being said, you will most probably need to unlock your mobile phone, to be sure that it will work with Keepgo SIM card.
Many people enjoy spending time abroad, but only very few afford spending thousands of dollars on the roaming fees. Therefore, the best solution is to purchase the Lifetime 1GB Internet SIM for Europe, Asia and Americas or Lifetime 1GB Mobile WiFi Hotspot for Europe, Asia and Americas, because this way your costs will be reduced, you will get to keep your number, and you do not need to sign any sort of contract. You will be able to hear the voice of you loved ones whenever you want.

Q: App force close due to uncaught exception I'm new to Java so, I think in order to prevent this error from appearing I'll have to write a Handler thread? Using try and catch? How do i do this?
Here's the code to help you out.
Thanks :)
package android.app;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.R;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;

public class AndroidActivity extends Activity{

     /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);

        Button next = (Button) findViewById(R.id.Start_CoolWhapp);
        next.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View view) {
                Intent myIntent = new Intent(view.getContext(), activity2.class);
                startActivityForResult(myIntent, 0);
            }
        });
    }
}

A: Ok so there are a few things
First make sure all activities are in your manifest file like so:
<activity android:name=".AndroidActivity " android:label="@string/activity_name"></activity>
<activity android:name=".activity2" android:label="@string/another_activity_name"></activity>

You may need more attributes than that but that's the basics.
I do not know why you need "startActivityForResult" as I cannot see the code but if it is just another activity with a layout with Views then you can alter your code like so:
Intent myIntent = new Intent(CurrentActivity.this, NextActivity.class);
CurrentActivity.this.startActivity(myIntent); //you do not have to use CurrentActivity.this to use startActivity however I am trying to show where context is coming from

Make sure activity2 has a layout and that the layout exists.


One of the joys of being a property owner is the chance to decorate your home in accordance with your taste and personality. Well-placed artworks have the power to transform a space, improve the overall look of your home, but selecting the correct piece can be a complicated and intimidating project. To help you in this process we've rounded up 3 things you should consider when buying artworks for your home.
Start by considering where are you going to put the artwork. It's important to consider the size and style of the room. This will help you identify pieces that are suitable for the place. You don't want to overcrowd a space with a too-large or complex artwork but you also don't want a small painting or photo to get lost in a big room. When it comes to style don't be afraid to mix things to add visual interest – consider a contemporary piece for a traditional space and vice versa.
Art should be bought for both personal pleasure and whether you would like to make a good investment, so think about how much you are willing and able to spend. If you have a small budget, decide if you want to spread it over few pieces or focus on buying a single statement piece. Those of you who have a generous budget can decide if you want to shop for established artists whose work is at a premium.
When it comes to actually buying art, the first important rule is "buy what you like." Don't buy a piece of art just because the artist is trendy or well-known. Ultimately, you are going to look at this piece every day for the rest of your life, so make sure you love it. That said, part of the fun of buying art is learning and cultivating your taste. Explore related images or artists to ones you already like — you might just discover something you love even more!
