Q: Run an update program immediately after ClickOnce install I've got a small WPF application which is being deployed to a client soon.  One of the prerequisites is Sql Express 2008, and the clickonce installer handles that part nicely.  My issue is that, after installation, I need to be able to unzip a backed up SQL DB, restore it, and set some user privileges.  I have the SQL and the code needed to do this, but I can't seem to figure out how to inject it into the clickonce install process, or how to force it to run some kind of "update" right after installation, before loading up the application.  Is there any way to do this?

A: Consider checking IsFirstRun in your application and performing additional setup at that time. Using this method you can do just about anything you want.  Here's a snippet from a webpage with more details:

Use IsFirstRun to determine whether
  you need to perform any one-time
  initialization operations the first
  time your application runs.

A: Did you have a look at this? You could create a custom action.
I am not sure whether or not you will have/need elevated permissions but it might be worth a try,

Savage Drift
by Emmy Laybourne
Dean, Alex, and the other survivors of the Monument 14 have escaped the disaster zone and made it to the safety of a Canadian refugee camp. Some of the kids have even been reunited with their families and are making tentative plans for the future. Then, Niko learns that his lost love, Josie, has survived …
For Josie, separated from the group and presumed dead, life has gone from bad to worse. Trapped in a terrible prison camp with other exposed O blood types and traumatized by her experiences,she has given up all hope of rescue.
Meanwhile, scared by the government's unusual interest in her pregnancy, Astrid – along with her two protectors, Dean and Jake – flees the camp to join Niko on his desperate quest to be reunited with Josie.
In a stunningly fierce conclusion to the Monument 14 trilogy, author Emmy Laybourne ups the stakes even more for a group of kids who have already survived the unthinkable. Can they do so one last time?
'Monument 14 is raw, honest, gritty, and full of emotionally taut storytelling. I had to hug so many
kittens after reading it that the pet store asked me not to come back." Lish McBride, author of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer

expanded in 1913, 1923, and 1928.
The store received a modernistic make-over in the
1960s with the opening of the Midtown Plaza

Such a nice store. Macy's and Bon Ton don compare!
I worked at Midtown and Marketplace and still miss the people and the store!
Karen Colizzi Noonan 30 July, 2011 18:35
I worked in Geneva, Eastview and Long Ridge. Met my husband in Geneva - got engaged in the stock room! (SO romantic! LOL) Many good memories of people and parties and Christmas rush season. It will never be this way again, i'm afraid.
The Eastview store will soon begin to be renovated/rebuilt into what will become a lavishly-appointed, upscale nationally reknowned retail store whose venerated,famous name will soon be revealed to the public sometime in the next few weeks.
I,too worked for McCurdy's, in their downtown Flagship store in 1968 in the Boys department on the Third floor while in school. I was thrilled to take the vast majority of my little paycheck & save it in order to gift my parents & little brother with fine clothing & exquisite, henredon furniture for our family. I always derived the most pleasure by GIVING to my loved ones rather than for just myself. They were thrilled knowing I sincerely cared for them.
My favorite part of downtown McCurdy's was the Book Department,Bakery & Counter Restaurant found on their granite-paved Main Floor. Their whipped cream cakes,French pastries & Almond-paste tea cookies were always freshly baked & tasted excellent! Their sister "Fashion Specialty" store, the very elegant, venerated B.Forman Co., a four story Rochester version of Bergdorf Goodman, had it's own Dior Boutique, exquisite designer fashions of the highest caliber,deeply-golden-foil covered gift boxes, a home gift gallery that would satisfy & astonish the biggest design snob, & mens & childrens departments that endlessly delighted!The store displays & advertising were as sophisticated as any Manhattan stores,if not even more so! It was a very stylish French Deco limestone building gold elevator door,gold entrance doors,with marble & limestone main floor paving,bronze Louis XVI glass Vitrines,high ceilings, French inlaid wood panelled portals, a main floor designer shoe department so elegant(25' ceilings,heavy crown & wood inlaid wainscot paneling, huge white carved wood chandeliers with yellow shades,built in banquettes & Louis XVI white fauteil chairs) it would make any Nordstrom look like an airport waiting room!!
I WORKED AT MC CURDYS FROM 1950 TO 1957 AS ASST BUYER OF BOYS DEPT. AND THEN HOUSEWARES DEPT. THEN I LEFT TO LIVE IN CALIF.

I have recently come across a beautiful coat labeled B. Forman Co. Rochester, New York. I have been trying to do a little research on the brand but I cant seem to come up with much. The little information I have found on the brand has just left me wanting more!! I do believe that this coat is over 75 years old.... if anyone can provide me with any information I would greatly appreciate it. This item may belong in a museum. The coat is being very well taken care of and is in beautiful condition.
stacyk 12 October, 2017 21:57
BForman was bought out by McCurdy's in the 90's. It started as a tailor shop in early 1900's. It evolved into a high end woman's clothing store. Benjamin Forman was an Austrian immigrant/ tailor. They made beautiful clothes.
Hello, Lucky Girl!
I've only just stumbled across this site, so my reply comes a few years after you posted your question. I grew up in the Rochester area when Foreman's was still an important local store. Yes, it was considered to be quite upscale. The original store must have been in the city, but I remember them best for the beautiful two-story store they built next to Pittsford Plaza. The secret me story was open in the center, overlooking the first floor from all sides. When Foreman's closed there, Barnes & Noble booksellers bought the building and they kept the floor arrangement, with the two-story open center. B&N liked the look so much that they adopted it for future stores. Our local B&N store in southeast Michigan looks just like the old B. Foreman store. So, if you want a taste of Foreman's, stop by your local Barnes & Noble!
BAK 05 March, 2012 00:12
B Forman was a specialty department store in Rochester New York. I will be adding an exhibit on the store soon. You might wish to search the newspaper pages at fultonhistory.com where you will find many Forman ads.
I remember the Geneva store. I wrote my very first check as an 18 year old kid when I purchased a sport coat there. It was a good store and a part of upstate NY history.

I worked at McCurdy's from 1973 until 1984, ending up as Store Planning Director. I'm grateful to the senior management group for letting me develop professionally and in letting me help with a portion of the company's direction. Gil McCurdy maintained a paternalistic environment for all employees and thanks to his interest in all areas of retail operation, not just the merchandise buying and selling, I had opportunities that I would not have had with most retail companies. Thanks for good memories and the foundation for a great career.
I worked at McCurdy's from many years starting around 1968 when I worked part-time in the toy department. By 1972, I became an Assistant Buyer to John Irish for Toys, Sporting Goods, Luggage & Cameras. Later I moved to the Northgate store where I worked as the supervisor of the Mens, Young Mens and Boys depts. A couple of years later, I moved to Long Ridge where I supervised the same departments and later also became supervisor of part of the Budget Store.
I left McCurdy's around 1980 to help build the Computer dept for Leon's Typewriter and Supply in downtown Roch. Later I moved to The Computer Store on Monroe Ave, where I eventually started and ran their educational sales dept.
In 1986, I abandoned the cold for South Florida, where I still live.
My father was the buyer of the Carpet Dept and eventually retired from there. My brother also worked at McCurdy's as an asst Buyer and then as a Buyer for several depts.
My Grandmother was the hostess in the Tea Room Rest for many years. Later she worked as the cashier at the McCurdy's Coffee Break Rest on the 1st floor.
I remember fondly the opening of Midtown Plaza, Long Ridge and Eastview Malls. Coffee at the Midtown Terrace restaurant and lunch in the Oak Room or Garden Room.
For us McCurdy's was a family affair and great memories of days long gone.
Does anyone know if there are photos of the annual cristmas tunnel exhibit at mccurdys ?
John Armstrong 02 September, 2013 20:38
I worked at all the Rochester B. Forman stores from 1973 to 1994. I left 5 months before the whole thing went down. I don't care who says what, I think both McCurdys & Formans could have been saved if the right people ran the show. The wrong people were put in charge and look what happened.
anyone know of a recipe for mccurdy's cheesecake? we had them make a cheese cake wedding cake for us in 1978...so good
Does anyone know who Princes Daphne was. McCurdy's name is on a pair of shoes I have and there is writing saying that says Daphne last Princess. Any information would be kind and helpful! Thank You! The sounds like it was a very special place to shop.
redargyle 15 July, 2014 13:59
I believe McCurdy's owned B. Forman as well, as they both went away at about the same time.
anonoymus 18 October, 2019 01:02
B.Formans was opened in 1911 and was passed along through several generations of family members.
In 1962, B.Forman and McCurdy's opened the Midtown Plaza as a joint venture. At the time, B.Forman was equally owned by brothers Maurice and Frederick Forman. Fred died unexpectedly, leaving his half of the company to his wife who wanted to dissolve the company. In the meantime and to avoid dissolution, Maurice tried to buy Freds share from his widow. Numerous Lawsuits ensued which were settled when McCurdy's stepped in and purchased the B. Forman in 1968. After B. Forman and McCurdy's closed in mid-1994, there was an effort was made to revive the B.Forman store by other investors. A few months after closing the new B Forman store and operated for a little more than a year before closing for good..
I HAVE 2 STORE DISPLAY FIGURES FROM EITHER MCCURDY OR B FORMAN STORES BEFORE THEY CAME DOWN..... THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC...! WHO WOULD I CONTACT THAT WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THEM?
I collect McCurdy memorabilia and would like to see them. Text me pictures at 503-580-9961 or email me at rustycheddar@gmail.com My name is Russ McCurdy
Susz 13 February, 2019 17:15
Russ ..do you have the recipe for the Mccurdy chocolate cake? Baked goids there were heavenly.
I have a beautiful fur stole that is labeled B. Forman. Is there anyplace I can check regarding the history of who made their furs?
I have a monogrammed sterling silver tea set with McC on all pieces. My grandmother was Margaret McCurdy's business partner in interior design.
I remember a nice lady who worked second floor coat department for years downtown, Lee Cavallaro. What a great salesperson and lady. I miss McCurdy's!
Mensaman 12 February, 2016 15:51
I worked at Northgate in Toys and Furniture when I was in high school - got my very first paycheck from McCurdy's! (Those "payroll taxes" came as quite a shock!) Sometimes when I'm in today's department stores I the difference between them and good old McCurdy's hits me. What happened to "civilization"?
Does anyone have their Cheese cake recipe ?? I would like to make it for my 92 year old aunt its all she talks about.
Is there a place to read the history of McCurdy's especially the McCurdy family associated with the store? We are the McCurdy's of NJ and PA. Thank you very much for your help.
BAK 02 May, 2017 14:43
I can update this site with material I have just found telling some of the history. If you care to email me at bakgraphics@comcast.net, I can share some news clipping with you in the future as I extract the material to write a comprehensive history as I have done for a number of other stores.
I LOVED shopping at McCurdy's! and their Bakery was so awesome! They used to sell cut out cookies about a half inch thick! I bought my very first expensive leather purse (Stone Mountain) there back in 1977. I still have it...somewhere! The window displays with the "live" manequins. When I got my first apartment. I bought my bed there! My sister-in-law bought her wedding dress there! I miss those days!
McCurdy's bakery was the best! They made our wedding cake in 1970; it was divine white almond white cake with almond icing. We especially loved the lemon cake made with lemon curd and toasted sliced almonds!! If anyone has that recipe, I'd really love it!
Johanna Lehane, jhlehane@comcast.net
I have a full length formal evening black velvet coat with just a label inside that reads McCurdys,of Rochester. The sleeves are puffed at the shoulder and very tapered to the wrist. There is one button at the waist and one at the neck. There is a large hood when pulled onto head folds back to reveal a floral vine of pale gold beads and sequins. I would like to know time period it is from. Sincerely newtcj@aol.com

Does anyone have a picture of the McCurdy's Holiday Gift Box top with the Xmas tree on it?
I have the gift box. The top is torn.
I loved McCurdy's Dept. Store in downtown Rochester...I would meet my mother there for lunch while I was working in Midtown Plaza...I loved their bakery and their very plain but delicious Maple Walnut Sponge Cake...I've been searching for a recipe to make that wonderful cake and haven't found it yet...If anyone knows the recipe...I'd love to have it if you could share it? I even ordered my Wedding Cake from their bakery in 1992...I miss the store but still have all my wonderful memories!
I worked at the midtown McCurdy's (1976-1978) as a cashier/hostess at The Garden Room Restaurant. The Garden Room was located on the 2nd floor, next to the Oak Room, that was a preference for the business men of Rochester. In The Garden Room, there was a lovely fountain in the middle of the restaurant. The menu featured everything from fruit cups, shrimp cocktail, sandwiches, soups, to steak and fried shrimp dinners. And also wonderful desserts. The dessert that was most popular in the restaurant was their amazing cream puff pastry, which was a huge cream puff filled with vanilla ice cream and topped with hot fudge. The restaurant also featured fashion shows, and for the children, yearly Christmas and Easter breakfasts with Santa and the Easter bunny. One year I was lucky enough to be appointed the Easter bunny in the show which featured Miss Rita from Romper Room. (she was a magical person). Another year I was Santa's elf. Mr. Salerno was the manager of both the Garden Room and Oak Room restaurants. He was a hard worker, very kind, and very fair. Mr. (Gilbert) McCurdy was a towering man, who exuded quiet authority. I remember being surprised to see him waiting in line along with his employees at the security desk where we were required to have our packages checked before punching out for the evening. Being only 18 years old when I started working there, I remember feeling offended to have my purchases checked before I caught the bus home to my apartment, until the night that I saw Mr. McCurdy in line in front of me, and he had his own packages checked before leaving for the night. The candy department at McCurdy's was legendary, and I'll never forget trying a chocolate covered pretzel for the first time there. The cakes, pies, cookies and pastries in the bakery were amazing. I bought my first bottle of perfume there, Jontue, and wore it on my wedding day. It had just come in, and the girls were giving out samples of it. I still wear it today. McCurdy's had a strict dress code for their employees, which included requiring women to wear stockings with their dresses. We had to be well groomed and our clothes in line with current fashion. The McCurdy's generously gave each employee yearly allowances for clothes that we could buy at deep discounts, and if the item happened to be on sale, the discount came after the sale price. McCurdy's will always hold a very special place in my heart, not just for my experiences working and shopping there, but also because it is where on my 20th birthday, my boyfriend picked me up after work and proposed to me. We are about to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. I will always miss McCurdy's & Co. and will always treasure my memories.
Miss Vivian 29 April, 2018 15:53
I loved reading everyone's memories of McCurdy's and B. Forman's...I worked in Midtown in the B. Forman Office Bldg. for 10+ yrs. and would have fun shopping on my lunch hour at both stores.. I loved the lady who just told us about her work experiences at McCurdy's and now celebrating her 40th Wedding Anniversary...Do you remember that Maple Walnut Sponge cake they use to sell in their bakery? It was shaped like a loaf cake I think? I would love the recipe for it if anyone knows of it??? My wedding cake was made here in 1992 and was wonderful...I miss all those days gone by but nice remembering them and reading others comments...thanks, Miss Vivian viviangginder@aol.com
Loved the bakery's Danish coffeecakes - where did all the recipes go when they closed?
I recently moved into a house with some things left behind and stored. I came across a brown mid-length/long fur coat with a McCarthy tag on it. It has been stored in a zippered dress bag. I'm looking to get some history and saw there mat be some museum or display of some sort.....if they are interested, it's theirs.
Remember McCurdys Teen board, we modeled and did public service projects for them.

Sensory-friendly vaccination clinics offer calm setting for kids in Waterloo Region
New sensory-friendly vaccination clinics are offering a calmer environment for kids getting their COVID-19 vaccine in Waterloo Region.
The region partnered with KidsAbility to open several sensory-sensitive clinics in Waterloo and Cambridge.
"The whole goal is to make it so anyone who wants an immunization has a barrier-free experience," said Debra Tak, a nurse with the Region of Waterloo. "This definitely will help take some of the overwhelming feelings out of the factor."
The clinics are an alternate option for kids like 10-year-old Jevon Bromley, who went to a mass vaccination clinic before deciding to try a sensory-friendly location.
"I think I can get it but I'm a bit scared to because I'm afraid it's going to hurt," Bromley admitted.
"I think it's really important because fear of needles is a real thing and we have to be conscious that everyone who wants to be vaccinated should be able to do so in a setting that is comfortable and kind and caring," said Jevon's mother Stephanie.
Jevon didn't end up getting his shot on Sunday but did book another appointment to return and try again.
Staff said each child can take as much time as they need and will be taken to their own room once they're comfortable with getting the shot.
"We've had some kids that have been there an hour and a half. It's taken them that long to be ready. We've had some kids that have had very strong reaction to the idea of being vaccinated and we're okay with that," KidsAbility CEO Linda Kenny told CTV News. "We'll just do whatever it takes to help that child be successful."
The clinic is open for anyone aged five to 17, with an option for family members to get vaccinated at the same time.
Anyone looking to book an appointment can do so on the Region of Waterloo website.

'Abolitionists' Documentary Series About Rescuing Kids From Sex Slavery Shopped

'Severance': Britt Lower To Star In Apple Drama Series
The efforts of Tim Ballard, former CIA and Homeland Security agent, and his nonprofit Operation Underground Railroad team to combat child trafficking worldwide are being documented in The Abolitionists, a 10-episode hourlong documentary series being shopped by EveryWhere Studios, the company of David Calvert-Jones, Dan Angel and veteran TV executive Tom Mazza.
For 12 years, Ballard served as a U.S. Special Agent for the Department of Homeland Security, helping infiltrate and dismantle trafficking organizations that kidnapped children and forced them into sex and labor slavery. Frustrated by the red tape when chasing predators beyond U.S. borders, Ballard left his government job in 2013 to start O.U.R. Since then, he and his team of mostly volunteers — who call themselves the Abolitionists because of parallels to the movement to end slavery — have done missions with the cooperation of foreign governments and police departments in Haiti, Columbia, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Mexico and other locations. Ballard recently testified before Congress in support of pending sex trafficking legislation.
Early on, an investor came on board, offering money to film O.U.R.'s operations. The process started with a feature-length documentary, The Abolitionists, produced by FletChet Entertainment, which chronicled the launch of O.U.R. and its first two "jumps" (the documentary has had private screenings and is yet to be released theatrically.) The cameras kept rolling, with 1000 hours of footage documenting 11 completed operations in eight countries resulting in more than 250 victims rescued and 30 traffickers arrested. FletChet's Chet Thomas and Darrin Fletcher approached EveryWhere Studios and teamed to produce a 10-episode series, which is being taken out to networks, along with the documentary, which could serve as an opening chapter in its original or a cut-down format.
Showtime Acquires Human Trafficking Docu 'Dreamcatcher' - Sundance
The series was often filmed guerrilla-style because the sting operations are done undercover, with Ballard and his team assuming fake identities to lure the perpetrators. Here is an ABC piece on one of Ballard's jumps, and below is a CBS News story on him.
Thomas and Fletcher serve as writers/directors and executive producers, with Thomas as the producer on the ground accompanying Ballard and his people on missions. EveryWhere is distributing the series, with Mazza, Calvert-Jones and Angel also executive producing along with Gerald Molen (Schinder's List).
While the completed series is being shopped, O.U.R. is still in action, as is The Abolitions TV crew. The next jump is being planned for next month, and the hope is to be able to expnad operations to Europe soon. The task the men and women face is daunting — according to grim statistics, every 30 seconds a child is sold as a sex slave somewhere in the world, and about 2 million children are being trafficked as sex slaves today.
"No project has ever moved me in my career the way The Abolitionists did," said Mazza, former president of Sony and Paramount TV. "These are true heroes, Tim Ballard is today's Chris Kyle. To see the show was quite remarkable — it's a mission for me as much as it's a business."

Léa Seydoux will miss The French Dispatch Cannes premiere.
The actress' future attendance at the festival is up in the air as well after testing positive for COVID-19.
Seydoux has been fully vaccinated but she tested positive while working on a film, her publicist Christine Tripicchio confirmed to the Associated Press on Saturday.
She is asymptomatic and isolating at home in Paris, hoping that negative tests on consecutive days could allow her to still attend the festival in the south of France.
Seydoux was set to be one of the most ubiquitous stars at Cannes this year. She stars in four films at the festival, including three that are vying for the top Palme d'Or award — an honor she shared in winning with 2013's Blue Is the Warmest Color.
At Cannes, Seydoux stars in Wes Anderson's The French Dispatch; in Arnaud Desplechin's Deception; in Bruno Dumont's France; and in Ildikó Enyedi's The Story of My Wife.
On Saturday, Cannes organizers heralded the success of the festival, which is requiring either proof of full vaccination or a negative test within 48 hours for entry to the festival hub.
Masks are required inside theaters.
Cannes is also testing around 4,000 people daily.
Frémaux, artistic director of the festival, said Saturday there were zero positive tests on Friday.

Q: Showing English and Gujarati text on the same page | Font issue I have an application, where the text is in English and Gujarati language. The English and Gujarati text is there on the same page. like:
Name/નામ

Now the problem is that if I have Verdana or some other font in the body tag applied through css, the font is applied on the Gujarati text as well and the text is sometimes not visible correctly, as my application uses absolute positioning (and the texts are in some div).
If i use shruti font, then English text is not displayed correctly.
Applying Verdana in Name and shruti in નામ is not feasible as I will have to change my application a lot for that.
Please let me know a alternative/solution.

A: A simple solution would be to surround your Gujarati content with a span which has a language-specific class  assigned to it.
...

You can then set the CSS so that Verdana is applied to all elements but the elements with the gujarati class name.
body { font-family: Verdana; }
.gujarati { font-family: shruti; }

This way you do not have to modify all your content, just the Gujarati part.

Band Introduction
Doindie Team
DOINDIE PICKS #2
We at DOINDIE are always trying to produce new and engaging content to inform our readers about the local scene. DOINDIE Picks is the latest addition to our ever-expanding content. It's an open secret … but we here at DOINDIE are a collective of Korean underground music maniacs. We all have our favorite bands and can be found at venues all over the place every week. A lot of us play instruments too and are even in bands. One overarching thing we have in common is a desire to introduce the local indie scene to more and more people. DOINDIE Picks will be a regular series of short, random articles written by various members of the team in which we chat about whatever takes our fancy. Basically, we just want to let you know what we've been enjoying recently.
Il-Hwa's Pick : This Years Festivals
I am really looking forward to this year's rock festivals. After going to what turned out to be pretty much a 'mud' festival at Valley Rock Festival in Ansan last year I promised myself that I would not go back, no matter who was playing. However, the festival has moved back to Jisan for this year's installment, so I'm thinking of breaking my vow. At the moment, they've only announced a few of the bands who will be appearing at the festival, but there is nothing that stands out on the lineup for me at the moment. Whoever they announce, it will be hard to compete with Summer Sonic in Japan, who recently announced Radiohead as their headline act.
I don't need much from this year's festivals, but I really hope that Sakanaction play at Pentaport this summer. Pentaport always pick a few bands from Japan, so I have my fingers crossed that this year they bring over this awesome band. I like everything about their song <新宝島/Shin Takara Jima>. The title, the music video and song itself are all right up my alley, so I'm hoping they are invited and looking forward to seeing who else is on the Pentaport bill.
* DOINDIE is putting together as much informations as we can for this year's festivals in Korea. Check them out what we have so far here : Click
J-Myeon's Pick: Seoul Moon
Honestly, I am one of the few males who writes articles for DOINDIE, so I wanted to avoid choosing a female artist as my DOINDIE pick. It seemed like too obvious a thing to do. After reading the uproar created by a certain band member's comments on twitter, however, I decided to take the plunge, erase all the stuff I had written and write a new article introducing a new all-female three-piece band called Seoul Moon instead. If the person responsible for that remark had attended just one of Seoul Moon's four concerts to date then he would know that there are in fact more men than he imagined here in Korea spending their hard earned money on and enjoying live music culture (and not prostitutes as he suggested).
Last year we really saw female artists stand out head and shoulders above the rest all across the cultural domain, especially in the indie music world where we saw bands and radical solo artists such as St. Vincent and FKA Twigs coming to the fore and making a big impact. There were also bands like the three-piece sister band Haim and the female duo U.S Girls getting invites to some of the biggest festivals in the world. It feels to me like girl power is alive and strong.
And now, in Hongdae we have Seoul Moon making their entrance. The band is made up of ByeBye Badman bass player Lu-LI Lee, 24 Hours lead guitarist Hyemi Kim and female drummer Hyemin Shin. The three of them are all the same age and all studied applied music at Dongduk Women's University together, but until now have all followed separate musical paths. Even though the band has not yet released any music under the moniker of Seoul Moon, the few shows they have played across February and March to showcase their new songs were packed. One of the things that was most interesting for me was that, just like in a girl group idol live video, there were loads of male fans at the show screaming and singing along to the songs.
Of course, one of the things that makes the band appeal to everyone is that they look super cool standing on stage together dressed in their trendy clothes like leather or embroidered jackets. However it's not just that. Their music is pretty damn good as well. Their skills as live performers and their fresh / lively guitar pop music, with it's roots in house music will be enough to get anyone, male or female, bobbing along to. Seeing as they have not yet released any material it is probably too early to judge them fully, so we don't yet know if they will be a flash in the pan, trendy band, or if they will become a really great guitar pop band. However, we do know at least one thing, they will save loads of male music fans from getting involved in the murky world of prostitution, that's a fact.
Wonbi's Pick: Sonic Boom X Armadillo's Podcast (featuring HASH)
A leisurely weekend with an indie music podcast is how I would like you to imagine another way you can enjoy the indie scene. The podcast I'm talking about is called 'Sonic Boom X Armadillo'. It has been around for a long time now, and originally started out called Sonic Boom Live, but has now joined forces and teamed up with Armadillo for an even better experience. I first learned about this broadcast when a band I liked, called Won, were guests on the show. Since then, whenever a band I like or a band I am curious about have been on as guests, I've made sure to listen in. One of the best things about the podcast is that it's broadcast live from a studio, so bands often play live sessions when they go on as guests.
I was chilling at at home one weekend when I suddenly thought of Sonic Boom Live. I was lying face down on the floor listening to an episode featuring a band called Hash. The band is made up of three members, singer Heo-Kyun, Hwang-Lyn on bass and Junghun Yoo on guitar. Their name originated from the SNS hashtag phenomenon. Just like the hashtag, Hash is a band that talks about a wide variety of topics from all over the world.
Despite having nothing special planned I had a great weekend thanks to the band's high quality live performance (which was so good it almost sounded like I was listening to the CD), the band's witty conversation and the podcast host's exuberant laughs. Make sure you take a listen to 랩말라이브 [Rap Mal Live] episode 1, where you can listen to Hash's <Stay Me Out of You> which will be on their full length album due out soon.

Q: Saving image from UIImagePicker to Sqlite DB So what I'm doing is the user is picking an image from the camera roll and I'm setting an imageView with that image. So far so good. Now I need to save this image to my Database.So when the view loads next time I have that chosen image again. Problem is my image view is not being set with the image.Probably because its not being saved properly to my database. From what Ive read NSData is best to use and its what I'm using but no success. Can someone help fix my problem?
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info{

    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:nil];
    fsImageView.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
    fsUIImage = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
    imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(fsUIImage);
    [self saveImageToDatabase];

}

------Here I save my image to the DB-------
-(void)saveImageToDatabase{

    [self openDB];

    sqlite3_stmt *newstatement;

    int originalTotalCount = sqlite3_total_changes(db);

    NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"UPDATE Annotation SET image = '%@' WHERE title ='%@'", imgData, fsTitleName];
    if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, [sql UTF8String], -1, &newstatement, nil) != SQLITE_OK) {
        NSLog(@"%s: prepare failed: %s", __FUNCTION__, sqlite3_errmsg(db));
    } else {
        if (sqlite3_step(newstatement) != SQLITE_DONE) {
            NSLog(@"%s: step failed: %s", __FUNCTION__, sqlite3_errmsg(db));
        } else {
            int rowsUpdated = sqlite3_total_changes(db) - originalTotalCount;

            NSString *message;

            if (rowsUpdated == 1)
                message = @"Updated one row";
            else if (rowsUpdated == 0)
                message = @"No rows updated";
            else
                message = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Updated %d rows", rowsUpdated];

            NSLog(@"%@", message);

            sqlite3_step(newstatement);
        }

        sqlite3_finalize(newstatement);
    }
    sqlite3_close(db);

}

------Here I pull my image from the DB------- Gets called when viewLoads..
-(void)setImage{

    [self openDB];

    NSString *sql = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"SELECT image FROM Annotation WHERE title = '%@'",fsTitleName];

    sqlite3_stmt *statement;

    if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(db, [sql UTF8String], -1, &statement, nil) == SQLITE_OK){

        int rc;
        if ((rc = sqlite3_step(statement)) == SQLITE_ROW) {
            char *field1 = (char *) sqlite3_column_text(statement, 0);
            NSString *field1Str = [[NSString alloc]initWithUTF8String:field1];
            imgData = [field1Str dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
            [fsImageView setImage:[UIImage imageWithData: imgData]];

        } else if (rc != SQLITE_DONE) {
            NSLog(@"%s: sqlite3_step failed: %s", __FUNCTION__, sqlite3_errmsg(db));
        }
    } else {
        NSLog(@"%s: sqlite3_prepare_v2 failed: %s", __FUNCTION__, sqlite3_errmsg(db));
    }

    sqlite3_finalize(statement);
    sqlite3_close(db);

}

A: In your case your getting image from UIImagePicker successfully and converting it into NSData to be stored in sqlite, the only problem your facing is storing the NSData into sqlite.
Saving NSData into sqlite database requires it to be saved as bytes in sqlite, so either you store NSData in bytes or convert it into Base64 string and then strore the Base64 string in sqlite.
To store NSData in sqlite as bytes you can refer below links:
1) How to retrieve string from NSData stored in sqlite?
2) Retrieve nsdata from sqlite stored in Blob data type for iPhone App
To store NSData in sqlite as Base64 you can use below Base64 library which is very easy to use.
https://github.com/nicklockwood/Base64
Now to convert a NSData to Base64 just use below code:
NSString *aStrData = [theNSDataObject base64EncodedString];

And then after you fetch it from database convert back the Base64 string to NSData like below:
NSData *theNSDataObject = [aStrData base64DecodedData];

I prefer using Base64 string is a good way, so if in future if you want to send the image to any web service you can send it in base64 format also.

A: // Use this Code for insertion
  NSString *insertSQL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"INSERT INTO <Table Name> (Image) VALUES (?)"];

        const char *insert_stmt = [insertSQL UTF8String];

        if(sqlite3_prepare_v2(contactDB, insert_stmt, -1, &statement, NULL)== SQLITE_OK)
        {

            sqlite3_bind_blob( statement, 1, [imageData bytes],(unsigned int) [imageData length], SQLITE_TRANSIENT);
        }

// Use this Code for retrieving
if (sqlite3_open(dbpath, &contactDB) == SQLITE_OK)
    {

        NSString *querySQL = [NSString stringWithFormat:
                              @"SELECT * FROM <Table Name>" ];
        const char *query_stmt = [querySQL UTF8String];

        if (sqlite3_prepare_v2(contactDB,
                               query_stmt, -1, &statement, NULL) == SQLITE_OK)
        {
            while (sqlite3_step(statement) == SQLITE_ROW)
            {

                int blobBytesLength = sqlite3_column_bytes(statement, 1);
                NSData *blobData = [[NSData alloc]initWithBytes:sqlite3_column_blob(statement, 1)length:blobBytesLength];

                UIImage *imagetest = [[UIImage alloc] initWithData:blobData];//this is your Image
          }
       }


Carol Bulman, CEO and president of Jack Conway & Company Inc., was appointed to the New England Advisory Council of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston.
Bulman has led the real estate company founded by her father since 2008, and brings 34 years of experience in the Massachusetts housing and mortgage industries to the position. Under her leadership, Conway acquired six realty firms to expand its footprint from Swampscott to Cape Cod, and established its own mortgage, insurance and move management divisions.
Thomas Lavelle, executive director of the Federal Reserve Bank's New England Advisory Council, said he invited Bulman to join his group because of her "civic-mindedness" as a business leader in Massachusetts.
Bulman is also a trustee for the South Shore Hospital Foundation and a past member of the board of trustees for Bridgewater State University. On a national level, she serves on the board of directors for Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, a global relocation network of 550 independent realty firms in the U.S. and abroad.
The 10-member NEAC is comprised of CEOs from different industries representing every New England state. The group meets four times a year to discuss economic conditions, monetary policy and other topics of common interest to the Council and the Federal Reserve.


I love the idea behind Beautycontrol Countercontrol collection because it's meant to mattify the skin without drying it out. As someone with oily skin, I find that the more I try to mattify my skin, the dryer it looks and sometimes it actually because more oily as a result. My skin overcompensates for the intense dryness by actually producing more oil which is the opposite of what I want.
The three products I tried from the Countercontrol collection are the Instant Matte Toner ($36), the All Over Acne Treatment ($49), and the Matte Effect Gel Cream ($49). Of these, I have to say that my favourite was the All Over Acne Treatment. With 2% Salicylic Acid, this treatment is the perfect way to keep skin matte and clear. Salicylic Acid goes inside pores to actually help counter oil production and keep the pore clean. That's how it works to minimize breakouts and I find that it's the one product that's easy to add into my skincare regimen that makes a difference on oil production and on acne.
The toner was great for getting rid of residue on my skin but I find that if I'm going to go to the trouble of using a toner, then I want it to be something that will actually have active ingredients in it which will hydrate or peel my skin. This toner has witch hazel and aloe juice which can be calming, but not what my skin needs. The Matte Effect Gel, unfortunately, wasn't matte enough for me so there was no point in me using it. It was hydrating, but I'd prefer a lotion if that's what my skin needs. The Matte Effect Gel is actually a little shiny and it even made my makeup glowy. Also, for some reason, I felt like I was oily very soon after I used it, so I don't think that it even absorbed any oil or had an effect on how much oil my skin was producing.
I enjoyed using the toner, the All Over Acne Treatment, and then sunscreen on top as my go-to skincare regimen for the morning, and use retinol, as usual, for the night.

Youth migration into and within australia
Brownhill, S, 2017, 'Youth migration into and within australia'. in: The Shifting Global World of Youth and Education. Routledge, London, pp. 213-224
© 2018 selection and editorial matter, Mabel Ann Brown; individual chapters, the contributors. With surging numbers of migrants and students on short-term visas, Garnaut (2015) asserts that Australia faces 'a range and scale of policy changes not seen since World War II'. This chapter sets out to explore those young people who migrate into the country as international students and the effects that this has for both them and domestic students. The chapter will also consider population drifts within Australia from country towns to cities, and from the inland to the coastal regions, examining the reasons for the prominent out-migration of young people from remote areas of the country to the cities (Alston, 2004).

SOULFUL NEW COUNTRY ARTIST RAYNE JOHNSON SIGNS WITH VERGE/ONErpm FOR DISTRIBUTION
Up-and-coming country music artist Rayne Johnson is the latest act to sign a deal with Mickey Jack Cones, president and COO of Verge Records—the label arm of global music company ONErpm. Johnson's first single under his new label, "Real Dang Good," will be released to all streaming partners on Wednesday, Oct. 7 in advance of its radio add date on Monday, Oct. 12. Pre-save the song HERE.
Verge is partnering with Mark Liggett, president of Mountain Road Records, to roll out Johnson's single, using ONErpm for distribution. Liggett says he and his team see Verge and ONErpm as "the perfect partners who share our vision to a T for Johnson."
Johnson enthusiastically agrees. "I'm honored to be working with Mickey Jack and his crew," Johnson says. "'Real Dang Good' is a song everyone can relate to, especially in this day and time. We all have those tough weeks and need someone or something to pick us up, and who better than that girl (or guy) you didn't even know you were lookin' for?"
Cones is equally excited about the deal. "Rayne is quite simply an incredible talent who deserves to be heard!"
An Ohio native, Johnson has opened for Country artists Hunter Hayes, Kelly Pickler, Riley Green and Randy Houser, among others. He has released three singles in the last two years, the latest of which, "Front Seat," was embraced by Country radio earlier this year. It landed on Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase Country Aircheck charts and was well received by fans and critics alike, garnering an impressive 24 million cumulative streams and becoming the only true indie record to crack the national country top 40 in the last five years.
For more information, visit RayneJohnson.com and check him out on Facebook and Instagram.
About Rayne Johnson
Rayne Johnson has a work ethic that is unparalleled. Working for more than a decade on the railroad, Rayne still found time to successfully pursue his passion for music after a 40+ hour week. This dedication pays off as he gears up to release his next single, "Real Dang Good," via Mountain Road Records/VERGE. After years of paying his dues with live performances and in local cover bands, Rayne's smooth but expressive tenor started winning a larger audience in 2019 when his first two releases—the playful "Laid Back" and the heartfelt "Front Seat"—began making noise on streaming and radio. A fun-loving tune in which the narrator tells his ex how good things have been for him since they split, "Laid Back" gained significant attention on streaming services, racking up nearly 2 million plays in its first few months. The reception was so strong that Boston radio began playing his debut radio single "Front Seat" before it was officially released. "Front Seat" has since become one of the most talked about and reactive songs of 2020 as the only Indie record to crack the national country top 40 in over five years, garnering more than 24 million cumulative streams. Based on the success of "Front Seat," Rayne was signed to Mountain Road Records in the summer of 2020. Label president Mark Liggett said, "We are very fortunate to find an artist the caliber of Rayne Johnson who checks every box needed to be a star in the Country format."
Verge Records, an independent label founded in 2006 and the genesis of global music company ONErpm, relaunched in June 2019 with music producer, publisher and artist manager Mickey Jack Cones at the helm. Verge Records is based in Nashville and utilizes ONErpm's global presence to sign talent and leverage opportunities for the Verge roster, including a radio trigger for tracks that reach set streaming and video metrics.
About Mountain Road Records
Founded in 2020 by veteran music manager and producer Mark Liggett, Mountain Road Records signed their first artist Rayne Johnson earlier this year. The independent label, based in Cincinnati, OH, has a team of experienced radio promotion executives -- Maurisa Pasick, Tara Shayne and Dan Pearson -- at the helm who have a proven track record of breaking artists through to the mainstream.

13.00 : A SYMPHONY CONCERT
Relayed from the National Museum of Wales
QCHUMANN was writing his music to Faust during several years. As early as 1844 he studied Goethe's book, and wrote a good deal of the music for his Scenes from Faust. The Overture was written last, in 1853. The work was first performed (without this prelude) in 1849, but the complete Scenes only came out thirteen years later.
HAYDN'S Symphony owes its name to the fact that the composer chose it for performance at an Oxford concert in 1791, when the University conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Music. It is typical Haydn music, delightfully fresh and spontaneous, and full of humour.
There are four Movements in the Symphony, the style of each strikingly in contrast to that of the others.
The FIRST MOVEMENT, beginning with a slow
Introduction, breaks, after a pause, into a quick, spirited pace, and so continues throughout its course.
The SECOND MOVEMENT, the slow one, is really an Air with Variations, but the song-like, expressive theme is treated very freely, and sometimes practically disappears.
The THIRD MOVEMENT is the usual Minuet and Trio.
The LAST MOVEMENT is just an exhilarating express-speed dance.

WE call this ' The Drumroll ' Symphony because it opens with a kettledrum rumble—a sort of call to attention. (Its key is E Flat. and its number in the new Breitkopf Edition is 103).
The work is planned in the usual four Movements, and the chief point of distinction in it is that in every Movement at least one of the Main Tunes is a folk-song of Haydn's native Croatia ; and very jolly tunes most of them are. Listen, for instance, to that dainty pair that dance into the FIRST MOVEMENT one after another and substitute themselves leaders in its game—a game that sounds so simple that you would think anyone could keep it going, but that is really so finely and scientifically put together.
A serious SECOND MOVEMENT, consisting of a short series of Variations on a theme, follows ; then there is a dainty, prim little MINUET (with a middle part that seems to have escaped from the governess's eye and sought a quiet corner, for a flirtation, perhaps ?), and a lively LAST MOVEMENT, splendidly engineered, and sounding perfectly spontaneous and immensely contented.

Six actions Biden should take to hold the ICC and Palestinian leaders accountable
The International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague issued an illegitimate and politicized decision on Friday, falsely claiming that it has jurisdiction to open an investigation focused on false allegations of Israeli "war crimes."…writes David Milstein.
The judges and guests of the International Criminal Court at the opening of the ICC judicial year on Jan. 18, 2019, in The Hague. Credit: International Criminal Court.
The Feb. 5 ruling is the latest development in the Palestinian Authority's diplomatic lawfare campaign against Israel. The P.A. is also engaging in economic warfare in the form of BDS, supporting terrorism through incitement, glorifying violence, and making payments to terrorists and their families.
In a video statement released by his office, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blasted the decision. "The ICC has again proved that it is a political body—not a judicial institution," he said. "The ICC ignores the real war crimes and instead pursues the State of Israel, a state with a strong democratic government that sanctifies the rule of law, and is not a member of the ICC."
He went on: "In this decision, the ICC violated the right of democracies to defend themselves against terrorism and played into the hands of those who undermine efforts to expand the circle of peace. We will continue to protect our citizens and soldiers in every way from legal persecution. … When the ICC investigates Israel for fake war crimes, this is pure anti-Semitism."
He concluded: "The court, established to prevent atrocities—like the Nazi Holocaust against the Jewish people—is now targeting the one state of the Jewish people. First, it outrageously claims that when Jews live in our homeland, this is a war crime. Secondly, it claims that when democratic Israel defends itself against terrorists who murder our children [and] launch rocket on our cities, we're committing another war crime. Yet the ICC refuses to investigate brutal dictatorships like Iran and Syria, which commit horrific atrocities, almost daily."
Though the Biden administration also condemned the ICC decision, there are indications that it wants to reverse the strong policies against the ICC adopted by its predecessor, the administration of former President Donald Trump.
Instead, however, Washington should take the following actions to impose consequences on the ICC and the Palestinian leadership:
First, it should implement Trump's Executive Order 13928 to impose additional sanctions, such as the blocking of property and revoking of visas of "ICC officials, employees, and agents, as well as their immediate family members" who are part of this decision against Israel.
Trump firmly asserted that "any attempt by the ICC to investigate, arrest, detain or prosecute any United States personnel without the consent of the United States, or of personnel of countries that are United States allies and who are not parties to the Rome Statute or have not otherwise consented to ICC jurisdiction, constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and I hereby declare a national emergency to deal with that threat."
His administration then imposed sanctions on ICC Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and her aide, Phakiso Mochochoko, for launching an illegitimate investigation into alleged "war crimes" by U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Israel expressed support for the U.S. sanctions. But the European Union, along with more than 70 countries, announced opposition to them.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration is now reviewing those sanctions and may acquiesce to the pressure campaign to lift them as part of a softer approach to the ICC. This would be a big mistake.
Second, the Biden administration should use Trump's E.O. 13938 to impose sanctions on individual P.A. leaders who have been materially assisting or providing support for this charade against Israel. After acceding to the 2015 Rome Statute, P.A. leader Mahmoud Abbas appointed a 45-member "higher national supervising committee," chaired by the late PLO Executive Committee Secretary General Saeb Erekat, to pursue legal action against Israel in the ICC.
Erekat told Palestine TV that the committee was made up of the "the complete spectrum of Palestinian political factions," including Hamas, the PFLP and DFLP—and that P.A. Foreign Minister Riyadh al-Maliki served as its official liaison to the ICC.
In other words, the P.A. has been collaborating with members of State Department-designated foreign terrorist organizations that seek the destruction of Israel to provide material against it to the ICC. This is in addition to public statements by Abbas, al-Maliki, P.A. Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh and Hamas encouraging and lauding ICC actions against Israel.
Third, the Biden administration should make it clear that will not re-engage with the Palestinian leadership, and withhold financial assistance to the Palestinians, until Ramallah ends its lawfare campaign against Israel and officially withdraws from the ICC—as both Burundi and the Philippines have done in recent years.
Fourth, the Biden administration should reverse its intention to reopen diplomatic missions that were closed by the Trump administration. One such mission is the PLO office in Washington, which was closed in compliance with the law that prohibits a PLO office unless the president can certify that the Palestinian leadership is not supporting ICC actions against Israel. In the case of the PLO mission, he was unable to do so.
Unfortunately, the Biden administration is trying to reopen the PLO office, by working to amend a law signed by Trump stating that the PLO office would provide jurisdiction for U.S. courts to hold the PLO and P.A. accountable in cases where they have already been found liable for supporting terrorism against U.S. citizens. Congress should ensure there are no changes to U.S. law, stand with American victims of Palestinian terrorism and keep the PLO office closed in response to its hostility towards Israel.
Fifth, the Biden administration should not keep its campaign promise to reopen the U.S. Consulate in Jerusalem to serve Palestinians—and if it does, Congress should block any funding for it. The Trump administration made the right move by closing it down and merging it with the new U.S. embassy complex in Jerusalem.
The Palestinians should not be treated to a separate American diplomatic mission in any part of Israel, especially Jerusalem, which the U.S. recognized as Israel's eternal capital—in compliance with the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995. Furthermore, the U.S. Senate voted late Thursday night to keep the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem and not return it to Tel Aviv.
Sixth, the Biden administration and Congress should encourage U.S. allies that are top financial backers of the ICC—such as Brazil, Japan, France, Germany, Canada, United Kingdom and Italy—to withhold funding, along with the countries that filed amicus briefs arguing against ICC jurisdiction.
The ICC, which is going after Israel unjustly while it wouldn't even investigate China for the mass detention and persecution of Muslim Uyghurs and other religious minorities, is a broken, corrupt political institution. The Biden administration needs to take all the above measures against it and the Palestinian leadership—for the protection of U.S. national security interests and allies, including Israel.
David Milstein served as special assistant to the U.S. ambassador to Israel and as a legislative aide in the U.S. Senate.

Zachtronics Releases Six-Player Free-For-All Solitaire Game And It Looks Chaotic
Many may not associate solitaire as a multiplayer affair, but that hasn't stopped indie developer Zachtronics from combining your grandmother's favorite time killer with extra buddies. In a surprise release yesterday, the studio behind such titles as Infinifactory and Opus Magnum made Nerts! Online available for free on Steam for everyone to enjoy.
Taking the idea of something like Solitaire Shodown (which used to be included in MSN Messenger more than a decade ago) and upping the player count, Nerts! pits players against each other in a race to complete a game of solitaire. The fastest wins and the others have to slam their heads in disappointment as being beaten by an old woman.
The main reason this game is free is likely because Zachtronics didn't create the idea. As explained on the Steam store page, "Unlike the rest of our solitaire games, we did not invent Nerts. We learned about it from our artist Kyle, who has played it for years, and started playing it after lunch in the Zachtronics office. Over time we added more to it, including house rules, longer tournaments, and even a theme song."
The game isn't supported by microtransactions or anything scummy, but owning previous Zachtronics titles will unlock different card backings for play. That's some kind of incentive to pick up the other games by the studio, though it's hardly what you'd call a monetization method. Still, I'd happily pay $5 for a title like this. I've wanted to play Solitaire Showdown on PC again for ages and this looks to bridge the gap.
