Google appears to be redesigning Glass to make the wearable computer look less nerdy and more like ordinary eyeglasses.
With the company's computerized eyeglasses, users can take photos and video, view maps and weather reports and read news stories with a tiny see-through display screen that sits above the user's right eye.
That display screen, as helpful as it is, also draws attention to users wearing Glass. Some users have complained that Glass looks dorky, while some businesses, including a cafe and a casino, have banned people from wearing them in their establishments for fear that users might be surreptitiously recording others.
Now it appears that Google is working to give Glass wearers a look that would more easily blend in with regular eyeglass wearers.
The company last week received a U.S. design patent for a wearable display device that is part of the eyeglasses, but that doesn't stick out in front of them.
The new computer, which would be built into the frames of the glasses would give users an image, like a map or weather forecast, in front of or in the right lens.
However, it's unclear whether Google will use the new design.
"We hold patents on a variety of ideas," a Google spokesperson said in an email to Computerworld. "Some of those ideas later mature into real products or services, some don't. Prospective product announcements should not necessarily be inferred from our patents."
While creating Glass without a separate display screen could make the wearable computers more marketable, it also could fire up a privacy storm with people concerned that they would no longer be able to distinguish computerized eyeglasses from regular glasses.
"Google Glass has other problems, like being pointless and annoying, but making you look like a total geek is part of the problem, so changing the look is good," said Ezra Gottheil, an analyst with Technology Business Research. "Being undetectable is a problem too, however. People are getting pretty upset about potentially being videoed without their knowledge& I imagine some will call for some kind of notification that a recording is being made, and a penalty for disabling it."


Watch Eaten Alive! (1980) online for free full movie and streaming film in English with HD quality. One of the less gruesome cannibal tales. A woman is searching for her missing sister and she finds hope in the folly of a dead hit-man who has a film on him. The film shows some sadistic torture and a brief cameo by her sister taken by a documentary film crew who obviously didn't make it out. She then leaves for the jungle joined by cannibal film regular Robert Kerman (playing Mark Butler), where they meet up with the standard Cannibal tribe and a Jim Jones like cult leader. Of course escape is next to impossible with the always-hungry cannibals waiting them out and the crazy followers of the suicide cult leader ready to eat them on command.

Neolithic Site 32km SW of St. Louis. In upper Mississippi valley, 2.5km west of Mississippi River, at confluence of 4 North American drainage basins (upper Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Tennessee rivers). Where 30% of American contiguous land mass is drained.
Mastodon remains were identified, including butchering and human presence.
Laurentide ice sheet appears to have reach its max about 350km to east. By time of occupation (estimate, early neolithic), glacier tied 800km north (present day upper Great Lakes basin). The site was probably situated in mixed deciduous (oak, hickory) forest, mixed with prairie grasses. 127meters above sea level. The sites axis is oriented southwest to northwest, 2300 square meters. There is a 20m high limestone bluff in the north. With unobstructed views of the Mississippi River south east, and rock creek valleys to the south and west.
Founded by French/Creole fur trader, and St. Louis co-founder Pierre Chouteu in 1790s. The earliest known excevations were in 1839, by Albert Koch. Who recovered a American Mastodon (mammut americanum) for display at his St. Louis museum. Numerous others began excavation including businessmen who opened a museum at the site around 1900. And, Smithsonium archaeologists who couldn't declare what was cultural remains, and introduced there after. Modern era of professional investigation began in 1970s, when government bought, in preparation to convert the mastodon state historic site.
7 discrete strata were identified including extinct and entact large mammals: mastodon, long nosed peccary and Harlans ground sloth. Numerous species of small vertebrates, and a large fire pit with Harlans ground sloth.
Though relatively few artifacts were recovered, apart from mastodon, presence of diverse abundant animal species,(white tail, fish, amphibians, reptiles (turtles, birds, small mammals), suggests site was adaptable to environmental conditions.

Chautauqua Park Swinging Bridge Number 2
Bridge Documented: April 13, 2013
Pedestrian Walkway Over Vermillion River
Pontiac: Livingston County, Illinois: United States
Metal Wire Cable Suspension, Fixed
1898 By Builder/Contractor: Joliet Bridge and Iron Company of Joliet, Illinois
Not Available or Not Applicable
4 Feet (1.22 Meters)
Main Span Count Not Available
This bridge is one of two similar suspension foot bridges in this park. They are noted for their attractive latticed towers. This bridge retains a plaque on top of the tower indicating it was built by Joliet Bridge and Iron Company. These bridges are two rare examples of bridges known to be built by this noteworthy Illinois bridge builder that are not truss bridges. The bridges do not have any stiffening trusses or girders, which means that the deck can move a fair bit under load. Bridges with these characteristics, including these two, are often called swinging bridges.
This bridge has main cables that, unlike the other bridge, appear as though they could be original (or at least are a lot older). The suspenders appear to be original. The deck is currently wooden with wooden railings, none of which are original. It is not known if this deck replicates the original design. The original railings on the bridge likely were less tall and massive. The method of supporting the deck appears to continue to follow the original design. The suspender cables end in straps that hold wooden floor beams. Turnbuckles can be found on the suspenders which would have allowed for adjusting the length/tension of the suspenders slightly as needed. The bridge's towers retain excellent historic integrity and do not appear altered. This bridge has lost its builder plaque however. It is assumed however that it was built at the same time by the same company as the other bridge since the design is identical.

Education and Home
The 6-year HS plan for an independent Phl started during Commonwealth era
A POINT OF AWARENESS - Preciosa S. Soliven (The Philippine Star) - February 12, 2015 - 12:00am
(Part III of Reaching Manhood in the Last Years of K to 12)
Acquiring independence is a natural effort from birth to six years old. This is Pillar I – Learning To Be of UNESCO's 21st Century of Education. Our experience of conditioning preschoolers, rich and poor alike, to work has been successfully replicated for almost 50 years in Regions 1, 2, CAR, 3, 4A and 4B. The Montessori system recognizes the psychological capacity of mankind to acquire three levels of independence through work in a Prepared Environment. Therefore it is urgent to re-engineer our traditional education from Pillar I to Pillar II – Learning To Learn for 6 to 12 year old grade schoolers, and Pillar III – Learning To Earn for 12 to 18 year old high school students, to culminate in the employment of all Filipinos.
From the Commonwealth period to the post-war republic
The Philippines was prepared for technical education (vocational technical) for senior high school in the early part of the 20th century to foster our sustainable development in time to be granted independence. Unfortunately, World War II critically injured our progress.
High schools with skill training and the Philippine School of Arts and Trade (PSAT) were created by the American school supervisors during the Commonwealth days of 1910, when we were a colony of the United States. In other words, the schools during the American governance providing the 6-year high school was already in place as technological training with proper tools was injected into the curriculum to make Filipinos truly independent and self-sufficient.
By 1946, when independence was finally granted, the Americans turned over the Department of Education to the government that expanded it to include Culture and Sports, hence DECS. It was responsible for the governance and supervision of Basic Education from primary school (Grade I to VI) to secondary school (first year to fourth year), a total of ten years, excluding preschool. Provided as well was the alternative branch of vocational high school. DECS was so vast that it also looked after the Bureau of Tertiary Education for collegiate courses.
DECS activities were usually copies of the USA trends in education. I wonder then why "work education" already injected into the DECS curriculum, even before independence was officially bestowed in the Philippines, was not pursued comprehensively as America has done. US secondary high schools incorporate farm skills, automotive and even forensic science. My grandson in La Habra, Los Angeles attended such a high school where he chose to work in its forensic laboratory. This particular science training is so crucial in making the US police force and FBI very effective. Forensic is missing in our police and NBI training. Every local government needs competent fire fighters, street and parks maintenance personnel and landscapers. We do not see any technical high school offering these courses. Thus, crimes and public accidents are always on the rise all over the country.
I suspect, DECS began deleting technical education not only due to lack of budget but because our government is so dependent on grants and donations from other countries.
Travel grants to voc-tech high schools to USA, Australia and Europe
Martial Law was declared in 1972, interrupting my two-year-old weekly TV show "Montessori for Everyone." This allowed me to make use of travel grants like that of the US State Department travel program in 1977. A knowledgeable guide accompanied me. Our first visit was to the Philadelphia Farm High School. Courses in butchery trained the students to butcher their cows in the farm. Various cuts of fresh beef filled up their meat shop and were very saleable. The floral arrangement course and kennel care readily employed the students to work in florist shops and pet veterinary clinics. During lunch, student cooks and waiters were busy in the popular dinette.
The School of Performing Arts in 2nd Avenue in New York, where Liza Minnelli graduated had a busy ballet core, where students wore out 3 pairs of ballet toe shoes within 6 months of training for the yearly ballet concert. Students learning various instruments trained to complete a symphony orchestra. I ran into the worst snow blizzard then. In spite of this, a visit to the Lincoln Talent School was arranged so I could interview the faculty members who helped young musicians, ballet dancers, and young theater stars to graduate high school without interrupting their busy schedule of rehearsals. Each student was given a weekly assignment of work in all subjects every Monday. These had to be finished and submitted by Friday. Obviously, teachers accommodated each student individually to suit their regular performing arts activities.
In 1981, I received a cultural travel grant to all the federal states of Australia. At the Sydney Farm High School, the students were responsible for a big poultry of chickens and a large sheep herd, which they entered in farm competitions. The teachers did not just make lesson plans, but actually authored books for the subject they taught. The Melbourne Technical High School taught Window Dressing to students who practiced and dressed up mannequins in four cubicles that were exact copies of department store windows. The welding laboratories had both male and female students. In Canberra, I visited a popular small ranch owned by an Italian family, which attracted city folks. It had stables of horses and raised a flourishing vegetable and fruit farm that provided fresh ingredients to its country-style restaurant.
When I sat in the Executive Board of UNESCO and eventually became the Secretary General representing the Philippines, I took advantage of visiting several technical high schools around France, Germany, and Denmark. In the suburb of Paris was the St. Germain du Pres Farm High School, where horticulture and animal husbandry were offered. The French government was generous in giving loans to the farmers on the main condition that they had to finish first the ten-month agriculture training together with the high school students. The Ecole Culinaire in the center of old Paris was a very busy school, where well-known chefs taught French Cuisine, Patisserie, and Food Service. Student cooks wearing leather holster of culinary tools worked on 6 ovens at the school brasserie on the ground floor, where numerous customers could see them. Each of the culinary chefs authored their books. Two Filipino students, one a bartender, were helping prepare a cocktail party for a business company within the school itself.
The German system for their secondary schools, which DepEd often refers to, uses a simple dual track program allowing the average, or below average, students to receive technical training for immediate employment. They earn much more than the intellectually advanced students who follow the academic track that leads them to a degree course in the university. This system is employed in England, France, Italy, and Scandinavia.
At Saarbruchen town, which borders France, I observed a popular technical high school funded by a Christian foundation. It allows immigrants, most of whom are older, to learn and train in any employable skill.
The German government is determined that all immigrants should be fully employed instead of being a burden to the state. Students produce fine furniture products that command a high price. The landscape training course includes bricklaying and care of horticulture plants. Housekeeping is taught in a real two-storey house complete with living room, dining room, bedrooms, toilet and bath and kitchen. The canteen operation involved a lot of students.
UNESCO emphasizes secondary technical education to meet the UNMDG 2000-2015, particularly in Asia
When UNESCO trimmed its budget, the ten ASEAN countries focused its project among themselves, thus saving money on traveling. This included the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei Darussalam and East Timor which were members of the Jakarta Regional Office of Science, while Singapore, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam and Bangladesh were under the Bangkok Regional Office of Education.
The SEAMEO Regional Center for Technical Skill Training is in Brunei Darussalam. This is where we should send our technical skill trainers to learn the principles and practice of professional welding, house construction, furniture making, industrial garment sewing, culinary training and hotel service. (When we joined the 6th ASEAN Skills Competition held there in Sept. 7-9, 2006, our Filipino contestants won in the Table Setting, Welding and IT competitions.) The center is a big complex of buildings, which houses construction skills in a huge laboratory. It was there that I saw three types of electric wires wounded for house construction. Beside this were the carpentry and plumbing sections. The Brunei government has a generous budget for technical high schools to give average students access to sustainable employment.
Jakarta, Indonesia was the site of our UNESCO Conference on Vocational Education. The government has provided sufficient budget to set-up several cottages offering practices in small hotel management. At the Beauty Culture Department, students were all busy practicing hair-perming on ladies, who I learned later on were their mothers. The Spa section is fully equipped for massage, facial treatment, manicure and pedicure. Batik dying for fabrics and painting, for which Indonesians are well known, was housed in another department.
Thailand models a country which struggled to recover from economic depression
During the Asian economic regression of 1997, Thailand was hard hit, referring it as the "Tom Yam Kung" crisis. By 1998, the O.B. Montessori Center started a student and teacher exchange program with Kasetsaart University. We partnered with their well-known horticulture professor, M.L. Charuphant Thongtham, to guide us in setting-up our 5-hectare horticulture and botanic park in Sulsugin, Alfonso in Cavite. A descendant of King Rama IV, he was appointed director of the Royal Project in Chiang Mai, where he worked closely with His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit. Here, training the Mongs, the mountain tribesmen to plant a vast plantation of ornamental weeds, he succeeded in developing a 30M baht dry flower arrangement business. The mountain people earned enough to buy their own motorcycles or pick-up trucks.
He also introduced me to the King's model of "self-sufficiency farm" using half a hectare to one full hectare land complete with vegetables, ornamental plants and fruit trees, fishpond, and bamboo grove. This helped Thailand recover economically because the farmers could sustain their basic needs, while being able to sell their extra products at the market.
According to him, the government gave a four-storey building to Kasetsaart instead of doling out to the university fragmentary budgets. The one condition imposed was that they would help the common people turn their food technological training into profitable businesses.

Q: How do I display this div using jquery when a button is clicked I have a video on my website that autoplays on website load. I want add a button to the page so that when the button is clciked, the div containing the video will popup.
Here is the code ;

                    <video muted="" loop="" playsinline="">
                        <source src="https://example.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/VERB_Showreel_V06-1-1-1.mp4" type="video/mp4">
                    </video>

How do I make this video play as a popup when a button is click
Edit: I am looking to recreate video hero on https://verbbrands.com/

A: You can try to mark it as display: none and edit that.

$(function() {

const $popup = $("#popup");

$("#open").on("click", function(event) {
  $popup.removeClass("hidden");
});

$("#close").on("click", function(event) {
  $popup.addClass("hidden");
});

});
.hidden {
  display: none;
}

  YOUR POPUP CONTENT GOES HERE
  <button id="close">Close the popup</button>

<button id="open">Open the popup</button>

A: You can do it in several ways:
Youtube or Vimeo
document.getElementById('clickme')
    addEventListener("click", function () {
        var iframe = document.getElementById("myiframe");
            src = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k4pTeHclChA";
        //$iframe.prop('src', '').prop('src', src + '?autoplay=1');
        iframe.src = '';
        iframe.src = `${src}?autoplay=1`;
    });

We just change the source and append ?autoplay=1 to it.
HTML5
document.getElementById('myvideo').play();

A: I think this is what you are after. The CSS may need tweaking for your site but the base functionality is there. in this configuration the video is always a pop up which is the same as the video on https://verbbrands.com/

$(function() {
  const maxWidth = 360; //the width the video will be unmuted
  const minWidth = 200; //the width the video will be when muted

  //set the video to the small width
  $('#my-video').prop('width', minWidth);

  $("#my-video").on("click", function(event) {

    event.preventDefault(); //prevent video from being pasued when clicked on

    if($('#my-video').prop('width') == maxWidth){ //if the video is already at max width
         $('#my-video').prop('muted', 1); //mute the video
        $('#my-video').prop('width', minWidth); //set to smaller width

      //change the classes
      $('#my-video').removeClass("PanelFloatCenter");
      $('#my-video').addClass("PanelFloat");
    }else{ // the vidoe is in small state

      $('#my-video').prop('width', maxWidth);  // make video large
      $('#my-video').prop('muted', 0); //unmute the video
      //change the classes
      $('#my-video').removeClass("PanelFloat");
      $('#my-video').addClass("PanelFloatCenter");
    }

  });

});
.PanelFloat {
        position: fixed;
        overflow: hidden;
        z-index: 2400;

        right: 30px;
        top: 20%;

    }

.PanelFloatCenter{
    position: fixed;
    overflow: hidden;
    z-index: 2400;
    top: 50%;
    left: 50%;
    margin-top: -100px;
    margin-left: -100px;
}

the sky is far away.
and un-formed shapes into bodies.
of drawn curtains, silent bodies.


Now that I have finally overcome the two-hour delay just to retreat from the parking lot at Phoenix International Raceway...On a day when three Indy 500 champions battled to see how they would fare against the finest taxi cab drivers in the free world, it can safely be said that when Sunday's N-word race here ended the "Northern Aggressors" had pretty much had their collective tails kicked. Every one of them.
Yeah, it's not usually a good idea to judge everyone by a single race, but this is PIR – a relatively flat track that has no two turns a like. It's like a street course except shorter and with all of the turns are being left-only. Sorta. To the point, this is the kind of track where actual driving is required, so those in the open-wheel "mass exodus" should have had above-average odds to put together a good show.
OK, here's the view from my vantage point in the Section 3 grandstands.
Montoya – Pablo is wrapping up a relatively successful year, and most would agree he can certainly hold his own as a stock car driver. And I'm not just saying this because he spent the first half of the race trading paint with "Junior" Earnhardt. Shocking to see Montoya driving aggressively, I know. He finished 17th, and Ganassi starts running Chevys instead of Dodges that's probably going to be as good as it gets for him.
Hornish – If you ever saw any episodes of "Driver X" last year then you will understand Sam's problem: like many of the contestants on that show, Sam hasn't figured out how a 3500-pound car with minimal downforce deals with it's tires. Every time there was a pit stop Sam – being a few laps down – would be placed next to the leaders on the restart, and he would drive right with them for a handful of laps before dropping like a stone. To his credit, he finished the race without incident in 30th.
Carpentier – Same problem as Sam, but worse. Not only was he struggling with grip a few laps after each pit stop, but the side of his car kept taking on more of the blue paint of the SAFER barriers at PIR. Puh-TREEK ended up 33rd.
Villenueve – "Jack" spent much of the day racing alone, but when he did get in traffic he had disastrous results. Just as much blue paint as Carpentier, right up until the time he wrecked himself into the Harry Potter lookalike in the #9 car. Say hello to 41st place.
Sam also raced in the Busch series race on Saturday, going about 20 laps before losing it and wrecking. Dario Franchitti was a non-factor in the same race, but did manage to make a HUGE save after being tapped by another driver. His car immediately spun a 360, but Mr Judd saved it from ever touching the wall or leaving the track. So as long as those behemoths don't get up in the air he should be alright.
And although it's not a sign of doom for the N-word, there were noticeably less sponsor promotions than last year. For example, one branch of the US military had a rock wall for kids to climb last year that was gone this year, and while there were previously a half dozen "get your picture in the car" deals there were only two in 2007. Granted it's still light years ahead of the sponsor activation in the IRL, but it would seem the N-word has reached it's acme of popularity.
This may be partially due to the fact that the events are still far too long. If you're going to race four hours with only one on-track lead change then it should be expected that at least a third of the crowd will be gone by the time the race is done. Then again, extrapolating that out indicates if they made the races EVEN LONGER it might help smooth out the traffic situation out next year.
Great idea! Longer races to min traffic hassles. I like where you are going with this.
Ah, you gave yourself away with the title. South of Maryland, that incident is known as "The First Battle of Manassas."
To be fair, the back half of the field in the N-word racing series needs new drivers too.

Email Marketing in 2020: What we've learnt
Improve Your Emails with Dynamic Content
Sending a monthly email to your whole list of newsletter subscribers might give you good returns, but technology advances for a reason.
Using clever techniques on your campaigns is where you'll really start seeing the rewards. Here, we have a favourite, more advanced feature of email marketing that should get you aspiring for bigger and better...
What is dynamic content?
Dynamic content is automatically merging information or products into email marketing campaigns based on customers' specific individual attributes, whether these be explicit (demographic information for example) or behavioural (based on previous click or website behaviour).
Traditionally, email marketing requires details of a few attributes - perhaps just industry, and company size for B2B, or age and gender for B2C. Dynamic content requires much more detail, and for that you need to collect information from your recipients.
In order to begin, you'll need clean data that you can begin to profile according to preference and behaviour. Don't worry if your data isn't complete, it's more important that it's responsive. You can fill in the gaps during data gathering. Look at other sources, such as a recipient repeatedly buying a similar type of product, or signing up for new product updates: these are both starting points for dynamic content.
You'll need to think about what sort of data you'll need to gather in order to be able to set up dynamic content. For example, history of your recipients can be used, especially if you have kept data on previous purchases, browsing history or notes on conversations you've had with them.
If you know the interests of your recipients, or their attitudes, then this knowledge can be used for dynamic content. Similarly, if you know other demographics such as geographic location, income or employment status these too can be used.
How to gather data?
A simple way to gather data is to use a survey, but completion rates will be low without the use of an incentive. Another way to gain small amounts of additional data is to use a poll, or a 'one-question-survey'. Busy people are more likely to answer one quick question when they're on your site or responding to an email, rather than wade through a longer survey.
Bear in mind that your intended recipients are not naive; they will be put off by intrusive questioning at point of sale or when they sign up to an email. Keep it subtle and short and you won't risk alienating your audience.
Targeted, tailored email marketing - creating dynamic content
When you have profiled your audience, and seen where you can gather data on their activities and preferences, you can plan how you will implement your content strategy.
The use of dynamic content is almost limitless. Some examples include:
Content based on links to website browsing behaviour with subsequent emails based on the product pages visited by the user
Content based on previous website purchases with up/cross sell opportunities
Tailoring content or images to job, sector, age, gender, even marital status if you hold that data on your recipients
The trickiest thing with dynamic content is setting it up, but once you have it's easy to manage. Mix dynamic content and lifecycle techniques together, and you're laughing!

Q: Exploring an MySQL file using HSQLDB sqltool I have a MySQL file that I would like to explore using sqltool. I do not want to deploy a MySQL database because I only need to run a few queries on the data; I do not need persistence.
I understand that sqltool will allow me to create an in-memory database and run queries on it. This is perfect for my use-case, but how do I make it accept the MySQL dialect of SQL?
Additionally, is the process the same for other dialects such as Postgres SQL?

A: You need to deploy a MySQL database.
The HSQLDB SqlTool allows you to connect to a MySQL server using the MySQL JDBC driver, or to any other database server such as PostgreSQL using the relevant JDBC driver.
The SqlTool also allows you to create an in-memory database when used with HSQLDB, but this type of database is different from a MySQL database.


I was searching for some reference / documentation / link if we can use arcpy to access secure ArcGIS Server map/image services for geoprocessing analysis. This geoprocessing script is exposed in the form of geoprocessing service and is accessed by different web applications. I have used a Arcgis server connection file to work it out somehow but different applications use standard url format i.e., 'http://serverName:Port/arcgis/services/ImageServices/ABCTest/ImageServer ' and our security module deals with individual user connections rather than a standard connection file.
Kindly, share any reference or your experience in this regard and if it is even possible? Thanks in advance for your help and support.

Q: Request generated in KSOAP2 Status 400 works in SoapUI Hi I'm developing an app which consume a web service. I can request it correctly in SoapUI, but the same request generated in Android Studio with KSOAP2 Library receives an HTTP Status 400.
The request generated:
<v:Envelope xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:d="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:c="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:v="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
     <v:Header>
       <n0:UserId xmlns:n0="http://www.webservice.com">user</n0:UserId>
       <n1:Password xmlns:n1="http://www.webservice.com">pass</n1:Password>
     </v:Header>
     <v:Body>
         <n2:GetAgenciaInfoRequest xmlns:n2="http://www.webservice.com">

         </n2:GetAgenciaInfoRequest>
     </v:Body>
</v:Envelope>

This is my call from WebService.class
    SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
    //envelope.dotNet = true;
    envelope.implicitTypes = true;
    envelope.setAddAdornments(false);
    envelope.headerOut = new Element[2];
    String UserId = "user";
    String Password = "pass";

    Element username = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "UserId");
    username.addChild(Node.TEXT, UserId);
    envelope.headerOut[0] = username;
    //h.addChild(Node.ELEMENT, username);
    Element pass = new Element().createElement(NAMESPACE, "Password");
    pass.addChild(Node.TEXT, Password);
    //h.addChild(Node.ELEMENT, pass);
    envelope.headerOut[1] = pass;

    envelope.setOutputSoapObject(request);

    HttpTransportSE ht = new HttpTransportSE(URL);

    ArrayList<Object> sol = new ArrayList<Object>();
    try {
        List<HeaderProperty> headerList = new ArrayList<HeaderProperty>();
        headerList.add(new HeaderProperty("Content-Type", "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8"));
        ht.debug = true;

        ht.call(" http://www.webservice.com/IService1/GetAgenciaInfo", envelope, headerList);

   } catch (Exception e) {

        Log.d("dump Request: " ,ht.requestDump);
        e.printStackTrace();

  }

I don't know why is receiving Status 400 when i paste request in SoapUI and works properly and it's difficult to diagnose but any help will be appreciate. The Stack trace only say me the 400 error.

A: The problem was the URL i tried to user and the content-type.
Note: Try to consume WS in Soap-Ui and copy the URL used in the top of the request window. Maybe it's not necessary the URL finished in ?wsdl.
The content-type appears in the request to, in the RAW tab.


As has been widely publicized and discussed, the American Psychiatric Association (APA) has recently issued a revised version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), a book sometimes termed a "bible" for mental health professionals. The manual might better be called a dictionary, as it aims to provide a vocabulary established by general (though not unanimous) agreement among mental health professionals so that they can productively discuss how best to help people who exhibit disabling emotional and/or intellectual conditions.
The diagnostic labels and the lists of elements for each that appear in the manual are the product of votes taken at general conclaves held, often decades apart, by the APA after recommendations are made by committees assigned to explore current research and experience around specified types of emotional and/or intellectual dysfunction. As its authors would be the first to admit, the DSM's resulting diagnostic categories and constituent elements are far from perfect and, while intended as a tool to help clinicians, should be used with skepticism and with a heavy dose of direct and personal clinical judgment.
Clinicians are advised that their observation and clinical judgment may warrant the application of a diagnosis even if the subject's symptoms do not meet all of the DSM criteria, "as long as the symptoms that are present are persistent and severe." Because the purpose of the manual is to provide a reliable common language for professionals engaged in treatment and research, however, the user is cautioned not to veer too far from its listed criteria lest they become meaningless.
The new updated manual, DSM-V, is the first to be issued since 1994. It will include a number of uncontroversial changes meant to update the categorization of disorders based on research and usage in the last two decades. An example of such a change is the use of the term "intellectual disability" in place of "mental retardation." In connection with that change, the manual will call for diagnoses to be based less on IQ scores and more on clinical assessment of an individual's functional abilities – a welcome change to those who advocate for services for persons with cognitive impairments.
The new version will also include some controversial changes that have caused anxiety and concern among those who perceive that they will be directly affected. Chief among those changes is the deletion from the DSM of categories associated with autism that previously carried their own lists of diagnostic criteria: Asperger's Disorder; Childhood Disintegrative Disorder; and Pervasive Developmental Disorder, NOS. The sense of those who support these changes is that the common elements among these disorders warrant using only one diagnostic category, Autism Spectrum Disorder, with diagnosticians indicating a level of severity once they determine the presence of the elements that support the diagnosis.
Many parents, advocates, and affected individuals, however, have voiced concern that the removal of these specific categories of autism from the DSM will result in some individuals' losing the diagnostic definition altogether and, along with that, losing the services for which the diagnosis may have previously qualified them.
Since it will take time for research to build data specifically focused on such a new category, and particular service strategies will need to be borrowed from previous experience with other comparable disorders to address the needs of those who may shift, for example, from PDD-NOS to SCD, some wonder whether the latter will simply become a label without reliable treatment options for the foreseeable future.
Many issues will likely arise for parents and advocates as new DSM diagnostic categories and their ramifications are discussed in the process of evaluating children and developing IEPs (or not) for them. We expect to return to this subject in later posts as the process unfolds. At the outset of this transition, though, we would suggest that participants keep in mind the very real difference between DSM-V diagnostic categories and the definitions of "disabilities" in the state and federal statutes that govern our work.
The criteria for eligibility for special education and/or related services, as set forth in IDEA and in Massachusetts' (and probably most states') special education laws and regulations, do not refer to the DSM. In fact, those definitions are generally broader than what appears in the DSM, and accordingly should provide greater access to services.
Likewise, while many different diagnoses found in the DSM-V to describe emotional disorders are based on lists of elements specific to each, the definition of "emotional impairment" under IDEA and Massachusetts law is broader.
Put another way, being diagnosed with a mental illness under a DSM-V category would probably be sufficient to satisfy the definition of "emotional impairment," but would not be necessary if the student otherwise fits the following definition from both federal and state regulations: "the student exhibits one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects educational performance: an inability to learn that cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors; an inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers; inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances; a general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression; or a tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems." 603 CMR 28.02(7)(f) (referencing 34 C.F.R. 300.8(c)(4)).
To the extent that IDEA's or state law's definitions of disabilities are broader than those that appear in DSM-V, a district's attempt to insist that a student meet DSM-V criteria would have to give way as illegally narrowing eligibility for special education.
There will be more to come on the subject of DSM-V as a factor in special education process. Watch this space!

There is no doubt that Costa Rica produces some of the best coffee in the world. Its temperate inland climate coupled with consistent and good rains and high altitudes provide the perfect environments for coffee plants to thrive.
The complex flavors accompanied by rich aromas and a superb taste give Costa Rican coffee an edge over many other coffee producing countries.
As a coffee lover, barista or connoisseur, it is always great to know where your coffee comes from and what makes it special. Here we discuss the different elements that make Costa Rican coffee beans the best, the most ideal ways to roast them, the best ways to brew them and also highlight 10 best products to give you recommendations.
Special Points
Flavor Profile – There is a huge variety of flavors to choose from when it comes to Costa Rican coffee as it mostly depends on the particular region of the country the coffee comes from. But with the Costa Rican coffee flavor profile you will mostly get fruit, citrus, chocolate, peach, vanilla or honey flavor notes.
Also, the processing method determines the flavor profile. For example, washed coffee has a clean and mild taste with honey/milk chocolate notes while honey processed Costa Rican coffee has less acidity and a sweeter taste with molasses and honey tones.
Varietals – Costa Rican coffee is 100% Arabica but there are different varietals of the coffee grown across the country. The most common of these varietals are Typica, Caturra, Bourbon, Gesha, and Villalobos.
Processing – You can get both dry and wet processed Costa Rican coffee depending on the region and estate you get it from. Most of this coffee is washed and drum dried, but there is also a lot of honey processed coffee from Costa Rica.
History of Planting Costa Rican Coffee
Photo: ticotimes.net
Costa Ricans have been growing coffee for many centuries now, and the first Arabica beans to be grown in the country we brought over through Ethiopia in 1779. But there are some conflicting accounts as to actually when coffee was first brought to Costa Rica with some historians claiming that it can from Cuba in 1808.
However, it is evident from different historical accounts that in the late 1700s and early 1800s the authorities in Costa Rica put a lot of effort in encouraging more people to venture into coffee production. This efforts even included giving out free land to anyone that intended to start farming coffee.
And by the 1820s the country had already begun exporting coffee beans with Panama being their main market at the time. In 1932, they expanded their market to Chile which would then repackage the coffee before selling it to the Britons.
1933 saw another important milestone for the Costa Rican coffee industry which was the formation of the Institute of the Costa Rican Coffee that was tasked with protecting farmers. And by the 1970s, the coffee produced in the country had increased tremendously.
How It Is Produced
Costa Rica produces around 1.5 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee every year, but like with many other coffee producing areas, the volumes will differ from one year to the other.
In recent years, 2012 was the most productive year for the coffee sector in Costa Rica as it produced more than 1.6 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee.
Unlike other countries like Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia where you can get both Robusta and Arabica coffee, in Costa Rica, it is illegal to grow any coffee that is not 100% Arabica. However, this Arabica coffee is available in several varietals that include Typica, Caturra, Bourbon, Gesha, and Villalobos.
Also, like many other coffee growing areas, most of the coffee in Costa Rica is produced by small scale farmers with farms that are less than 12 acres. There are more than 80,000 of these small scale farmers, but there are also some large coffee estates with hundreds if not more acres of coffee.
Costa Rica's climate and soil are perfectly suited for the growth of coffee, and the country also gets more than enough rain every year.
The rich, volcanic soils are fertile enough to provide a highly conducive environment for coffee growth while the cold mountains and availability of just the right amount of shade make the environment even more conducive for coffee growth.
The high altitudes that are often between 3,900 and 5,600 feet are also ideal for coffee growth and the temperatures in most coffee growing regions in the country range between 63 and 73 degrees.
Major Coffee Growing Regions
But, not every part of Costa Rica has the ideal coffee growing conditions mentioned above. There are 8 main coffee producing regions in the country and each produces beans with their own distinct flavor.
1. Orosi – Orosi coffee is famous for its more balanced flavor profile, but it is also one of the reasons some coffee lovers will criticize coffee from Costa Rica with being too plain. However, if you do not like strong coffee, you will love it.
2. West Valley – With coffee from the West Valley, you can expect to get flavors that can be described as peachy and honey with some vanilla hints. The climate here is never extreme regardless of the season or time of year.
3. Central Valley – The Central Valley region in Costa Rica is characterized by distinct rainy and dry seasons in different times of the year. And the beans produced here are more balanced and with a flavor profile that is more on a chocolaty side and with hints of fruit flavors.
4. Tarrazu – Tarrazu region produces some of the best quality coffee in the whole of Costa Rica. What makes the coffee great is the fact that the beans have some of the most desired flavor tones which include chocolate, orange, and vanilla. Coffee from Terrazu is quite expensive.
5. Brunca – With the high humidity and tropical climate in Brunca, you get coffee with flavor profiles that are characterized by notes of citrus.
6. Guanacaste – The Guanacaste region is characterized by a mountainous terrain with high altitudes which means you get stronger coffee than most other parts of the country. Coffee drinkers often describe the smooth coffee beans produced here as having a light acidity, slight bitterness, and some salty notes.
7. Turrialba – Because of the active volcano in Turrialba, this region has some of the most fertile soils in Costa Rica and they grow some mild tasting and great smelling coffee beans. These beans also have very minor acidity and you can rightfully describe them as delicate.
8. Tres Rio – Like Turriabla, the soil in Tres Rio is also very fertile also due to the active volcano in the area. With these fertile soils, you always end up with milder coffee beans with a lighter and more balanced flavor.
How It Is Roasted
Well, like with any other coffee beans, you can roast your Costa Rican coffee beans how you like if you prefer to buy them as green beans. However, there are certain roasts that always go well with beans from certain regions.
With Costa Rican Coffee you cannot go wrong whether you go for a dark, medium or light roast as the beans seem to take either of these roasts well.
If you prefer a dark roast, these coffee beans will give you a nice and smooth dark roast with some amazing flavors while a medium roast helps to provide a pleasant sweetness and emphasize a full body and the light roast provides a clean taste with sweet and mild acidity.
Best Brewing Methods
Given that the majority of Costa Rican coffee beans are washed, you can brew them in a variety of ways. But the traditional way of making coffee in Costa Rica will entail using a coffee sock which is a cloth filter that looks like a sock and is suspended on a wire frame to drip coffee into a mug.
Other great methods of brewing this amazing coffee are espresso, pour over and the French press. With pour over, you can highlight the mild acidity in the coffee while with espresso and French press you can highlight the balance of flavor and body when using medium and dark roast coffee beans.

Celebrities lose work, students sue U.S. colleges in admissions scandal
By Lisa Richwine
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Hollywood actress Lori Loughlin was dropped by a TV network and her daughter lost a sponsorship deal on Thursday, while students sued prestigious universities in growing fallout from a massive college bribery scandal.

Crown Media Family Networks, the company that owns the Hallmark cable channel, cut ties with Loughlin, its "Garage Sale Mysteries" star, after she was charged in the scandal, it said on Thursday.
"We are no longer working with Lori Loughlin and have stopped development of all productions that air on the Crown Media Family Network channels" involving the actress, the company said in a statement.
Hallmark's announcement followed an earlier one from LVMH's Sephora beauty chain, which said it was ending its partnership with Loughlin's daughter, Olivia.
Olivia Giannulli, the 19-year-old daughter of the "Full House" star and designer Mossimo Giannulli, is a social media "influencer" who goes by the name Olivia Jade online.
Products from her makeup collaboration had been removed from Sephora's website by Thursday afternoon. It was not immediately clear whether her products were available in stores.
A representative for Olivia Giannulli could not immediately be reached for comment.
Loughlin and her husband were accused on Tuesday of paying $500,000 in a scheme that involved cheating on college entrance exams and bribing athletic coaches to help Olivia and her sister, Isabella Giannulli, get into the University of Southern California (USC), according to court documents.
Loughlin and her husband were taken into federal custody and later released on separate $1 million bonds on Wednesday.
DENIED A FAIR SHOT
Lawsuits began emerging on Wednesday, a day after federal prosecutors said a California company made about $25 million from parents seeking spots for their children in top schools, including Georgetown University, Stanford University and Yale University.
Fifty people, including 33 parents and athletics coaches, have been criminally charged in the nation's largest known college admissions scandal. The accused mastermind, William Singer, pleaded guilty to racketeering charges.
In one civil lawsuit, Stanford students Erica Olsen and Kalea Woods said they were denied a fair opportunity to win admission to Yale and USC because of alleged racketeering, and said their degrees from Stanford will be devalued.
Singer and eight colleges were named as defendants in the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages including refunds of application fees paid to the schools over seven years by unsuccessful applicants.
Another lawsuit filed by Joshua Toy and his mother said he was denied college admission despite a 4.2 grade point average, and seeks $500 billion of damages from 45 defendants for defrauding and inflicting emotional distress on everyone whose "rights to a fair chance" to enter college was stolen.
The defendants in that case include Singer and accused parents, including "Desperate Housewives" actor Felicity Huffman, Loughlin and Giannulli, and TPG Capital private equity partner William McGlashan Jr., who was fired by the firm on Thursday.
"These class-action cases are opportunistic creatures of lawyers trying to obtain a windfall," Donald Heller, a lawyer for Singer, said in a phone interview.
Lawyers for the other plaintiffs did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Both lawsuits were filed in California. More lawsuits are likely.
Prosecutors said Singer used his Edge College & Career Network and an affiliated nonprofit to help prospective students cheat on college admission tests and bribe coaches to inflate or create athletic credentials.
The Stanford case is notable because it is among the country's most prestigious and selective universities, admitting just 4.3 percent of its applicants last year.
But Olsen and Woods said their degrees are "now not worth as much" because prospective employers might question whether they were admitted on merit or through bribes by parents.
A Stanford spokesman said the university is reviewing the lawsuit.
TIP THAT LED TO FRAUD DISCOVERY
The original tip that led to uncovering the college scandal stemmed from an unrelated securities fraud probe into Morrie Tobin, a Los Angeles resident who prosecutors said engaged in "pump-and-dump" stock market schemes, a person familiar with the matter said on Thursday.
Tobin, who pleaded guilty on Feb. 27 to conspiracy and securities fraud charges, told authorities a Yale University women's soccer coach had sought a bribe in exchange for helping his daughter get into the Ivy League school, the person said.
That now-former coach was Rudy Meredith, who agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud charges.
The FBI after receiving the tip secretly recorded a meeting between Meredith and Tobin in which he sought $450,000 in exchange for recruiting her for a spot on the soccer team, according the person and related court records.
At the meeting, Meredith accepted $2,000 cash as a partial payment, according to charging documents.
Brian Kelly, a lawyer for Tobin, declined to comment. Meredith's lawyer did not respond to a request for comment.

Q²M CLAY is a mild clay-bar making it suitable for all paints surfaces. It comes in a handy 100g block that is comfortable to use or even split making it very cost effective. GYEON recommends using Q²M CLAYLUBE with Q²M CLAY to get the best results and allow it to glide over the surface.
Q²M ClayLube has extreme slickness which reduces friction and prevents the clay from 'grabbing' and marring the surface, instead the clay will slip over it to reveal smooth paint. Ideally used with Q²M CLAY for best results, but it can be used with any clay bars, cloths or discs to lubricate. Q²M ClayLube can be diluted down as far as a 1:10 ratio, which offers great economy, without impacting on its high performance and still allowing good lubrication for the clay to do its job.
Wash the car before claying. When using, provide sufficient lube – Q²M ClayLube is recommended. Keep out of reach of children. Always use clay in a cool, shaded place.

English Press Releases
Welcome address by Pu Lal Thanhawla, Hon'ble Chief Minister of Mizoram
Respected Madam Soniaji,
On the occasion of the beginning of the celebration of 125th year of the largest democratic party in the world, the Indian National Congress in Mizoram, I, on behalf of the Government and the people of Mizoram, as also on my own behalf extend to you a very warm and hearty welcome. We feel delighted and no less honoured to get you in our midst once again.
The foundation stone which you have just laid has been named Rajiv Gandhi Sports Stadium in fond memory of our beloved leader, the late Shri Rajiv Gandhi. Madam, you may kindly recall that when you visited Mizoram in July, 1986 the youth of Mizoram received you at various places with placards which read 'Give us world class sports stadium, we shall give you world class players'. Rajivji responded positively. This project is going to be the culmination of the wishes of the youth and that of the positive response of Rajivji.
As a member of an illustrious family of the country, you carry with you a legacy and tradition of that family, the tradition of abiding interest in the well - being and progress of the tribals, the backward and the disadvantaged sections of the society. And the people of Mizoram, therefore, hold you in special love, respect and high esteem.
Madam, we acknowledge with deep appreciation the contribution you had made in the unprecedented victory of the party in the last Assembly elections, the elections to the Village Councils where we won 80% of the Councils; followed by the Lok Sabha election which we won handsomely. Your presence itself was a great inspiration. I assure you that we will try to live up to your expectation and that we shall not be found wanting in sense of purpose; in redeeming our pledges made to the party and to the people of Mizoram. We are also determined to live up to the expectation of the people of Mizoram and ensure corruption free and transparent Government.
You have been generous and magnanimous to us in Mizoram, extending your helping hand wherever sought for. You have always heard our pleas and requests for financial and institutional support from the centre in matters concerning all-round progress and development of our poor state. We extend our deep gratitude and at the same time, hope that this unflinching support would continue to be there in the coming days.
I would particularly refer to your unstinted support in getting our flagship programme, the New Land Use Programme appreciated and approved by the Centre. The NLUP aims at effecting co-ordinated, balanced and inclusive development and economic empowerment of the rural poor. At the same time, this programme aims at afforestation and environmental improvement. May I humbly submit that NLUP is a modest but bold and positive step towards achieving a goal so dear to respected and beloved Rajivji who dedicated his services toward wiping out tears from the eyes of the poor and to give them political and economic powers as an equal stake holders in the process of growth. With your blessings and that of our able Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh, this small step, I am confident, will be a big stride forward.
Madam, we do not want to don the robe of a beggar with a begging bowl for all time to come. We want to be self-reliant as quickly as possible. But there are countless hurdles on our way forward. We need hand-holding from you. Our appeal to the Centre has been : "Help us now to ultimately help you." This appeal may be heard with sympathy and understanding. In this we can and shall bank on your good self.
History, I am sure, will record with appreciation, the imaginative and humane faced leadership of the party, particularly of Rajivji, in bringing back peace to this part of our great country, shattered by two decades of violence. Because of Rajivji's wise guidance and the sacrifice of Congress workers, Mizoram is now an island of peace. We shall preserve it. We are determined to do that. We know we can. More so because we shall have your blessings. May I recall and reminiscence with reverence and appreciation that immediately after the Peace Accord was signed, your entire family with Rajivji and the children traversed the length and breath of Mizoram by road under rain, sunshine and bad roads; stopping at every village and entering into dilapidated houses, interacting with the poor villagers who admired and adored you all the way. Rajivji's amiable and sociable disposition, ably supplemented by yourself, has endeared all of you to the Mizo people.
May I take this opportunity to express our wholehearted support to your policy of Women Empowerment which I feel should be appreciated by lawmakers and by one and all for the interest of the country. We also appreciate and support your reservation policy for women.
Once again, I thank you Madam, for having spared this time to visit Mizoram inspite of your extremely busy schedule. That only confirms your love and concern for this state and its lovely people. May the Lord grant you good health and long life to serve the teeming millions for many more years to come.
Thank you, Jai Hind.
Lal Thanhawla

DeChambeau is the latest first-time winner of the JDC
Bryson DeChambeau enjoys the rewards for his first PGA Tour win at the John Deere Classic.
SILVIS, Ill. – Illinois golf and Bryson DeChambeau seem to be a perfect fit. DeChambeau won the U.S. Amateur at Olympia Fields in 2015 and now he's also the champion of the John Deere Classic. The JDC, in fact, produced his first victory on the PGA Tour.
Few doubted that DeChambeau would be a budding star on the PGA circuit after he win at Olympia Fields. He even followed that up by winning the NCAA title that year. Few golfers have pulled off that double.
After turning pro, though, DeChambeau was hardly an immediate hit. Though he did have a tie for second at this year's Puerto Rico Open, he also went through a stretch in which he missed 10 straight cuts.
The John Deere Classic, though, changed the perception of the colorful 23-year old. He found TPC Deere Run to his liking in a beautiful week of golfing weather and notched that elusive first PGA Tour win. It wasn't easy, though. He needed to shoot 30 on the back nine to overhaul Patrick Rodgers, the leader after 36 and 54 holes.
DeChambeau caught Rodgers with a 14-foot birdie putt on the 18th green. DeChambeau's putt barely caught the right edge of the cup and dropped as Rodgers was walking down the adjacent 17th fairway. Both were at 18-under-par at that point.
Rodgers didn't stay there for long. He found his tee shot on the par-5 seventeenth behind a tree and had to chip out. The chip wasn't good, either. It ran into the rough on the right side of the fairway 205 yards from the cup.
DeChambeau lines up his putt on the 18th green.
His third shot wound up on the green but in a most difficult spot – with a bunker blocking his path to the cup. Rodgers had to take the unusual method of chipping on the putting surface to get at the hole, but his fourth shot took a bad bounce, leaving him six feet away. When his par putt lipped out Rodgers' time at the top of the leaderboard was over, and DeChambeau could celebrate.
"It felt like a long time coming, though I'm only 23,'' said DeChambeau, who alternated tears of joy with boisterous victory comments after play was done while Rodgers – still looking for his first PGA Tour win – dealt with another near-miss.
"I had an aggressive mindset on 17,'' Rodgers admitted. "I felt like if I made birdie that would probably put the tournament away.''
Then he heard the roar from DeChambeau's birdie putt dropping at No. 18, and that changed his mindset.
Rodgers tried to get back a share of the lead with a birdie on the 18th, but his play wasn't up to it. His drive finished in the right rough with a tree again blocking his shot to the green and his second rolled over the putting surface. The birdie try from there was a good one, but the ball stopped a foot away. That made DeChambeau the tenth first-time champion on the PGA Tour this season and the 19th player to make the Quad Cities tournaments his first PGA Tour victory.
Then he coaxes the 14-foot putt in, just inside the right edge of the cup.
At the awards ceremony on the 18th green DeChambeau broke down at the mention of the late Payne Stewart, who also got his first win in the Quad Cities in 1982. DeChambeau somewhat patterns himself after the colorful Stewart, who went to college at Southern Methodist before DeChambeau arrived there and – like Stewart – got into the Quad Cities event on a sponsor's exemption.
DeChambeau is a bit different than Stewart, though. He plays clubs of the same length and is very analytical about his game. Stewart was more a free spirit prior to his death in a plane crash.
"`I try to take a complex game and understand every variable,'' said DeChambeau. "That's very difficult to do. The one who came closest was Tiger (Woods). He probably figured it out for quite a while. I was a physics major in college, and I go after golf in a very scientific way.''
And now it's time to celebrate.
When it works he looks like a genius – and this time it worked.
The final round was not good news for the two Chicago players to make the cut. Wheaton's Kevin Streelman made double bogey on the first hole, wound up shooting a 2-over 72 and fell 26 places into a tie for 44th place. He won't be seen on tour again until August's PGA Championship.
Northbrook's Nick Hardy was paired for the second straight day with Ben Hogan Award winner Maverick McNealy, the only other amateur to make the cut. They started the day tied, and McNealy ruled the final round 69-71 to be the tourney's low amateur.

Toronto gardeners have a few consistent problems. Among them: gardening on sand or gardening on clay.
Clay presents the problem of poor drainage. Yet, clay is loaded with plant nutrients that merely need to be unlocked to nourish plant roots.
Sand, however, is inert – without nutritional value. It does provide excellent drainage. In fact, it's like gardening in a sieve. Everything wet runs right down the drain.
On our street, at the top of a hill in the Upper-upper-upper Beach, our soil is sand. Beneath about six inches of Norway-maple-root-infested topsoil (more on that in another rant) is feet – feet! – of yellow sand. It's the old shore of an ancient lake.
And did I mention the Norway maples? That means the garden falls into the dreaded category known as dry shade, one of the worst possible sentences for a gardener.
My garden is now nearly 20 years old. That means I've loaded 20 years' worth, literally tons (or tonnes, for you metric folks), of compost, manure, wet peat moss (always use wet peat moss), mulch, and occasionally topsoil into the soil to help it retain moisture and nutrients. It's a Sisyphean task.
• Lady's mantle (Alchemilla) [mixed with variegated Polygonatum or solomon's seal at right]. This frilly edging plant has leaves like an old-fashioned caplet and frothy chartreuse flowers. The leaves also hold pearls of rain and dew.
• Lily of the valley (Convallaria). Be careful where you plant this, as it can run on surface of the maple roots and soon colonize everything. But the pips are easily dug up.
• Shallow-rooted plants such as Iris, unless the shade is dense. Irises need some sun on their roots – the rhizomes should sit on the surface of the soil – in order to bloom well.
• Hostas. I have more than 25 varieties in my small garden. Hybridizers have created an amazing array of leaf colours and shapes to choose from. Some have scented flowers.
• Day lily (Hemerocallis). Also beloved of hybridizers, so plenty of choices so you can have blooms throughout the season. Learn from my mistake and don't plant the common orange day lily (H. fulva) which spreads indiscriminately. Other modern cultivars are much better behaved, the flowers have more substance and, again, many are scented.
