Gombe, town and traditional emirate, southeastern Gombe state, northeastern Nigeria. Gombe emirate was founded in 1804 by Buba Yero (Abubakar), a follower of the Muslim Fulani leader Usman dan Fodio. The emirate headquarters of Gambe was established in 1824 and renamed Gombe Aba ("Old Gombe") in 1841. The emirate prospered until the 1880s, when religious warfare and the encroachment of British colonial rule brought severe disruption to the area. The emirate capital was moved in 1919 to Doma, which was then renamed Gombe.
Lying in the wooded savanna lands of the Gongola River basin, the area is mainly inhabited by the Fulani, Bolewa, Tera (Terawa), Tangale, Hausa, Kanuri, Waja (Wajawa), and Tula peoples. Important market centres in addition to Gombe town include Kumo, Deba Habe, Pindiga, Dukku, and Nafada. The multipurpose Dadin Kowa Dam has been constructed on the nearby Gongola River.
Gombe town is a major collecting point, especially since the opening of the railroad in 1963, for peanuts (groundnuts) and cotton and is a local trade centre in sorghum, millet, cowpeas, cassava (manioc), beans, onions, and tobacco. Its people keep cattle, goats, sheep, horses, and donkeys and practice the traditional crafts of weaving and dyeing cotton. The presence of limestone deposits led to the building of a cement factory at nearby Ashaka in the early 1970s. Modern textile manufacture in Gombe town also began in the early '70s, and a seed-oil mill has been built. The town is served by a national technical teacher-training college and an Arabic teacher-training college. Gombe is located just south of the railway from Bauchi to Maiduguri and on the secondary highway between Bauchi and Kumo. Pop. (2008 est.) town, 194,809.


This year, Vytautas Magnus University is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its re-establishment.
On this occassion, we share with everyone special moments captured in photographs during these 25 years.
In the spring of 1989, the idea of re-establishing Vytautas Magnus University was brought to fruition by Lithuanian and diaspora scientists after over a year of development,. On 28 April, the Act of the university's reestablishment was proclaimed, which meant the union of two separately-operating steering groups. Thus, a new page in history was turned. On 6 July1989, prospective students of the University took their entrance exams. 177 first-year students, chosen from 805 candidates, were accepted by the university. On 1 September, with a solemn meeting at Kaunas State Musical Theatre, the first school year of the re-established Vytautas Magnus University was commenced. The university became the first autonomous higher-education school in the former Soviet Union.
On 24 May 1990, the re-established Senate's members voted in Kaunas and Chicago, choosing the first rector of the re-established Vytautas Magnus University — Algirdas Avižienis, Professor of Informatics at the University of California, Los Angeles. Later the University was governed by professors Bronius Vaškelis (theatre studies), Vytautas Kaminskas (informatics), and Zigmas Lydeka (economist).
Professors from various foreign universities and Lithuanian higher education institutions, as well as Lithuania's academy institutes, became a part of the re-established university's academic community. Among them were Kazys Almenas, Milda Danytė, prelate Kęstutis Trimakas, priest Arvydas Žygas, Vytautas Kavolis, monsignor Vytautas Kazlauskas, Rimas Vaišnys, Rimas Kalvaitis, Kęstutis Ignas Skrupskelis, Viktorija Skrupskelytė, prelate Antanas Rubšys, Romas Vaštokas, Kęstutis Paulius Žygas, Julius Šmulkštys, Alfred Erich Senn, Vytautas Kubilius, Antanas Tyla, Norbertas Vėlius, Aleksandras Vanagas, Vladas Stauskas, Zigmas Zinkevičius and others.
In the first year, the studies at the university took place in three rented buildings. Courses of mandatory English and informatics were introduced. In 1990, the university became a member of the European University Association (EUA). Doctoral studies were launched at VMU and the tradition of awarding honorary doctorate titles was restored in 1991. Two years later, the first class of Bachelor's degree students graduated. This was followed by the revival of the awards of honorary professor degrees and the graduation of the first Master's degree students in 1994 and 1995, respectively. In 1998, the first modern university library and reading rooms were opened. In another two years, the Lithuanian Emigration Institute was founded with the aim of gathering archives of Lithuanian citizens scattered around the world and organising research on diaspora and emigration. In 2001, Dr. Aldona Gaškienė and Dr. Remigijus Gaška started providing support to to Lithuanian students in Punsk, financing their studies at the university. VMU joined the university exchange program Campus Europae in 2003 and signed the Great European Universities Charter the following year. In 2008, together with the University of Latvia and Tallinn University, VMU founded the Baltic Graduate School for Social Sciences and Humanities.. Three years later, the university opened the President Valdas Adamkus' Library-Museum. In the QS World University Rankings 2012 / 2013, VMU was ranked among the top 700 universities of the world. On 17 November 2013, VMU honorary doctorate was awarded to the United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
In 2014 Vytautas Magnus University organises studies at 10 faculties, 4 institutes and 22 study centres; scientific research and project activities are conducted in 36 priority research fields, covering the arts, biomedicine, as well as the humanities and social sciences. The university's study programs are prepared and taught by prominent Lithuanian scientists, artists and public intellectuals — professionals in the fields of modern philosophy, history of diaspora and ideas, linguistics, political sciences, international relations and regional studies, human rights, social comparativistics, media and creative industries, professional arts, international finances, informatics, natural and environmental sciences, etc. More than 26,000 students have graduated from the university over the 25 years of its existence.
Last year the university took it upon itself to establish a global Lithuanian university. The goal of this initiative is to encourage scientists and students in Lithuania and elsewhere in the world to engage in cooperation and cultural exchange, to bring together the Lithuanian diaspora and draw in those who are interested in modern-day Lithuania, its livelihood, traditions and culture.
Having significantly contributed to the education of the new generation of Lithuanian citizens, Vytautas Magnus University now looks towards the future, full of optimism and hope. In this university, we recognize the importance of the creative ambitions and inner motivation of every member of the community, not just their studies. As an active and modern institution which nurtures the principles of artes liberales, Vytautas Magnus University seeks to develop personalities in Lithuania and around the world who would follow the principles of freedom, openness, responsibility, creativity, community, academic excellence and autonomy.


PARIS -- The maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars has finalized its $2.5 billion takeover of General Motors European brands Opel and Vauxhall, and named new management to chart an attempted turnaround plan.
France-based PSA Group said in a statement Tuesday that the new executives would present the plan in 100 days. Opel s chief said it is aiming for a return to profit in 2020 and reach a 6 per cent operating profit margin by 2026, after years of losses.
The carmakers hope to save up to 1.7 billion euros annually thanks to the takeover, notably on purchasing and research and development.

According to the World Health Organization between 10%-30% of medicines, in Africa, Asia and South America, are counterfeit or sub-standard, affecting the health of millions of people. Currently, there is no effective way to check the quality of a medicine at the point of care, leaving many with treatable diseases at risk. The goal of this study is to identify UV-Vis (240nm - 500nm) absorbance patterns that would indicate if a drug is sub-standard or counterfeit. UV-Vis spectroscopy was selected as the method for testing due to the maturity and availability of the technology. Pure Acetaminophen and Tylenol were used as controls for proof of concept. Samples were prepared by dissolving different combinations of the pure active ingredient and adulterants such as cement, rice flour, vitamin C and lactose in three different types of solvents (H2O, 0.1 M HCl, 0.1 NaOH). Various concentrations (ranging from 0.01mg/ml to 0.04mg/ml) and mixing ratios were analyzed using a UV-Vis Spectrophotometer. It was found that adulterants significantly decrease the absorption of acetaminophen at 245nm by interacting with its benzene ring, while showing a slight increase in other parts of the spectrum. UV-Vis scans show that the amount of change in absorbance at specific wavelengths, coupled with characteristic wavelength shifts produced by different solvents, can be used for detection of counterfeit drugs. The methods presented here could be used for quality control of medicines at or near the point of care in parts of the world at higher risk of encountering defective pharmaceuticals.


Super intense, big bold flavour with little to no acidity. Spicy aroma with thick burnt caramel and chocolate tones. Monsoon Malabar, being a very low acid bean is an exotic coffee from South-West India. The green coffee beans are exposed to the moisture laden monsoon winds and rain for a period of 3-4 months causing the beans to swell and lose their original acidity. This creates a wonderfully smooth coffee with spicy, chocolate notes supported by an earthy low acidic richness. We have medium roasted this exceptional coffee to bring out the best of its characters, giving you a unique and satisfying flavour experience.

This thread can be found in every coin forum - so why not also here Find it always exciting to see how others think it is.
That's why I just wanted to divide it into two. And each time I assumed that we are still in the bear market.
How much $ do you estimate the coin to be at the end of 2018? Reasons? Between 0.5$.
Reasons? Inflation has dropped extremely. Inflation has fallen extremely. As well as the popularity slowly gets bigger of the project. As well as we are close to the open launch of the Exchange, so I think we will be quite close to the 1$ by then - despite bear market. But, the coin / the project should easily make it into the top100 by then, above all, coins of comparable exchanges are also in the top100 - despite smaller / fewer projects as far as the coin itself is concerned.
How much $ do you estimate the coin at by mid-2019?
On the one hand, I think that the ETFs, as well as more interest in the crypto market, will generally increase the market again. We will then (hopefully) have the dry spell behind us.
Accordingly, the Bitfineon stock exchange is growing more and more, the inflation is very low...the coin has chances to be in the Top50 - therefore the interest in the project gets more and more into focus.
End of 2019: 20 $ at least, if ambitious roadmap is accomplished without delays.

Expect U-shaped global economic recovery after Covid-19 pandemic: Poll
Global funds recommended an increase in bond holdings to the highest level in seven years, at the expense of stocks, and said the recovery in the coronavirus-hit world economy will be U-shaped, a Reuters poll showed.
US stocks surged on Wednesday as hopes for an effective Covid-19 treatment prompted a broad rally and helped traders shrug off bleak gross domestic product data and words of warning from US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell.
But the April 16-30 poll of 34 fund managers and chief investment officers across North America, Europe and Japan – with over $2.5 trillion assets under management – showed a recommended cut to equity allocations to an average 45.1 per cent of their model global portfolio from 45.9 per cent in March. That would be the lowest in seven months.
Another focus has been the unprecedented fiscal and monetary policy from world governments and central banks to soften the economic damage. The European Central Bank at its news conference due at 1330 GMT on Thursday is expected to expand its bond-buying programme.
While the yield on benchmark US 10-year Treasuries US10YT=RR has held around 0.6%, the poll suggested an increase to bond holdings to their highest since the poll series started in early 2013, to 43.3 per cent from 43.1 per cent last month.
"The recent moves in stocks are not justified by any concrete development either in the form of a vaccine breakthrough or on the economic front. The coronavirus lockdowns are here to stay for now and as such the risk is more to the downside for stocks," said a global chief investment officer at a large U.S. fund management company.
"As for the bond market, it is not pointing at a V-shape or strong recovery and instead it is still signaling risk and very supported by the Fed purchases."
Responding to an additional question, 60 per cent of fund managers, or 12 of 20, said the global economic recovery would be U-shaped. Four respondents said it would be more like a tick mark and the remaining expected a W- or L- shape.
None expected a V-shaped recovery, a strong rebound from the deep contraction taking place right now.
"We expect the recovery to take a U-shape, with a long bottom phase and a likely slow recovery at the end of 2020 or beginning of 2021. This would depend on the evolution of the virus and the length and severity of lockdown measures," said Pascal Blanqué, chief investment officer at Amundi, Europe's largest asset manager.
Those findings line up with a separate Reuters poll of economists, which showed the global economy would suffer its steepest contraction on record this year, with a longer, U-shaped recovery more likely.
"At the moment it looks like the virus and associated mobility restrictions are going to remain for a while. Governments and citizens are wary of renewed outbreak and are likely to only partially reopen economies in the near term," said Benjamin Suess, director at UBS Asset Management.
"Therefore, a gradual normalization of economic activity is the most likely scenario but others remain possible."
The US economy suffered its sharpest decline in 11 years last quarter, with GDP contracting at a 4.8 per cent annualised rate, marking the end of the longest economic expansion on record.
Another Reuters poll of economists predicted the worst is yet to come.
On Wednesday, the Fed said the ongoing pandemic would "weigh heavily" on the near-term outlook and posed "considerable risks" for the medium term.
"We think we are very far from out of the woods, with still huge amounts of uncertainty and markets will remain very much sentiment-driven," said Kevin Thozet, a member of the investment committee at Carmignac.
"With market breadth having already become extremely low, we maintain a limited exposure to equities and remain ready to take a more defensive bias if necessary."
In response to an extra question, more than 85%, or 18 of 21 fund managers, said the risk was skewed more to the downside for stock prices over the next three months.
"The risks are skewed to the downside for stock prices, which are driven by material uncertainties. Furthermore, economic data and corporate earnings have great scope to shock on the downside," said Craig Hoyda, senior quantitative analyst at Aberdeen Standard Investments in Edinburgh.
When asked about bond yields, 75 per cent of 20 respondents said the risk was skewed more to the downside.
"Bond market volatility is very high. Yields are already very low, but they could drop further if economic activity disappoints and central banks flood the world with cheap money," said Trevor Greetham, head of multi-asset at Royal London Asset Management.

Toppers Pizza:
Toppers Pizza Introduces New Chief Development Officer To Drive Brand's Future Growth
By: Toppers Pizza | 0 Shares 54 Reads
After growing Smashburger to more than 350 units, David Biederman Utilizes Strong Pedigree to Guide Toppers' Growth Momentum
October 12, 2016 // Franchising.com // Whitewater, Wis. – Toppers Pizza has celebrated a lot of important milestones lately. So far in 2016, the brand has added four new locations to its rapidly growing franchise system and signed three additional multi-unit development franchise deals that will ultimately open up 41 new locations for business. Six of those units will be in North Carolina, 13 will be in Colorado and Wyoming and 22 will be located in Virginia and Maryland.
Now, as Toppers continues to embark on its quest to gain the upper hand in a competitive industry, the brand is proud to announce the recent hire of David Biederman as chief development officer. As a key member of the leadership team, Biederman's job is to spearhead the brand's continued growth in both new and untapped territories throughout the country.
"The more I learned about Toppers and the more I spoke with the brand's founder and CEO, Scott Gittrich, the more excited I became to be a part of this brand. Toppers has the maturity and experience of a legacy brand with the fresh attitude and spirit of a start-up. The quality and sizing of the products make us relevant for any occasion and set us apart from all competitors in the space. Our next generation technology platform will rival the leaders in not just the pizza and restaurant space, but all sectors of e-commerce. Finally, the way we operate our restaurants is proof that a commitment to strong values leads to equally strong profit."
A seasoned restaurant veteran, Biederman brings with him decades of experience. Most recently, he served as Chief Development Officer for Smashburger. While he was at Smashburger, he helped the brand grow to more than 350 locations in less than 9 years, working in both corporate and franchisee development. Prior to Smashburger, Biederman held leadership roles in both operations and innovation at Quiznos. At McDonalds, as a Senior Director of New Concept Development, Biederman helped develop, build and operate new concept restaurants for the venerable chain.
Now, Biederman is hoping to bring that same experience with emerging brands to grow the next big concept in both pizza and franchising - Toppers.
"Our goal is to continue to show more and more pizza fanatics that they don't have to settle for mediocre pizza. But in order to do so, we need to keep upping our game so that we're better than the big chains in every way. It's a never-ending process of growing and evolving, and that applies to the backbone of Toppers' system, too - our franchise development process," said Scott Gittrich, founder and president of Toppers Pizza. "We're excited to bring David and his expertise in driving brand growth to the Toppers team. Our motivating force has always been to provide a better pizza, quicker delivery and unmatched customer service. Now, we're taking a major step forward as a brand by focusing more of our efforts on adopting a meaningful development strategy."
Biederman sees a lot of similarities between his work at Smashburger and his new role with Toppers. He notes that both are brands in a saturated segment – and both are brands innovating, recreating and redefining their respective segments in a revolutionary way. Biederman is eager to take what he learned while driving Smashburger to national success and apply it to Toppers.
"Toppers is backed by an impressive 25-year history, strong leadership and a strong following of customers. This is a next-generation company suited for next-generation franchisees," Biederman said. "This is just the beginning for Toppers, and I'm eager to position this unparalleled opportunity in front of the right people to help propel the brand to a national presence."

Toppers is committed to quality and consistency throughout the system, and plans to maintain corporate ownership of 25 percent of all locations while the brand expands to continuously improve on best practices and product development.

The open internet has fostered unprecedented creativity, innovation, and access to information and to other kinds of social, economic, cultural, and political opportunities across the globe. The technical means used to block access to information online often dangerously undermine the stability and resiliency of the internet. Internet shutdowns must never be allowed to become the new normal.
In November 2016, ACHPR adopted a resolution on the right to freedom of information and expression on the internet in Africa, which noted its concern over "the emerging practice of State Parties of interrupting or limiting access to telecommunications services such as the Internet, social media and messaging services, increasingly during elections." ACHPR/Res. 362(LIX).
through public disclosures on policies and practices impacting users. We are happy to assist you in any of these matters.
 An internet shutdown is defined as an intentional disruption of internet or electronic communications, rendering them inaccessible or effectively unusable, for a specific population or within a location, often to exert control over the flow of information. See more here.

Yarisa Smith knows she has a good travel agent.
"He's made cruises and European trips special," says Smith, a manufacturer's representative from Dallas. "His itineraries and attention to detail have made every trip flawless. He's even managed to successfully intervene when acts of God have waylaid my plans."
Yet you might not know by looking at Clark Mitchell, who works for Dallas-based Strong Travel, whether he's the real deal. Yes, his agency is cited as a source for its travel expertise by mainstream news outlets. It also prominently lists its membership in Virtuoso, an exclusive travel agency consortium.
But until now, there's been no instantly recognized certification that says an agent is legit. That may be about to change.
At its annual convention in San Diego this summer, the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA), a trade organization, introduced a new certification called the Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) program. Agents must successfully complete courses in ethics, law, marketing, sales and negotiation, among others, to display the ASTA VTA check mark logo on their sites or business cards.
"The Verified Travel Advisor program is our standard for educational excellence," says Zane Kerby, ASTA's president. "Earning the VTA certification is another way to increase trust — to show the consumer that you've demonstrated your ability and willingness to put your customer first."
In a world of confusing — and often meaningless — agent certifications, will VTA stand apart? It's too soon to know, because the program is brand new. The key will be enforcement, industry observers say. Most of the current certifications are pay-for-play. In other words, an agency can purchase all the badges and memberships it needs. To become the travel equivalent of a "Good Housekeeping" seal of approval, ASTA will need to hold agents accountable to a high standard, which would mean removing the check mark from a bad agent, if necessary.
In the meantime, there are plenty of other signs that your agent is on the up-and-up.
A Travel Institute certification: This is the rough equivalent of having a degree in travel. The institute's most common designation, CTA, or Certified Travel Associate, requires at least 12 months of experience and builds sales and planning skills, such as creating travel itineraries, handling customer service requests, building destination knowledge and understanding business ethics. Another Travel Institute designation, Certified Travel Counselor (CTC) focuses on management skills such as conflict management, negotiation and behavior training. Keeping your certification means completing annual continuing education classes, but there's no formal, consumer-facing process for identifying and expelling agents who fail to meet institute standards. In other words, a CTA or CTC designation means agents are trained, but not necessarily competent.
An IATA number: The International Air Transport Association, a trade group, accredits travel agents by issuing them a numerical code. The code gives agents access to the group's billing settlement services and also acts as a kind of seal of approval for consumers. But all you have to do to get an IATA number is qualify and pay. The organization doesn't attempt to verify any of your agency skills. Instead, an IATA number is just a sign that you're a serious agent.
A consortium or franchise membership: Belonging to a major travel industry consortium, an organization of agencies that have joined to increase their buying power, can also be a sign that your agent means business. For example, Virtuoso bills itself as an "invitation only" consortium with "established criteria for sales minimums." Also, being part of a franchise such as Travel Leaders can be an indication that your agent is for real. These large travel companies have a valuable brand to protect, so they have a vested interest in making sure their employees and members provide quality service.
Is there a way to know for sure? No, at least not yet. Consider an agent's membership in ASTA. The logo may mean the agent is serious enough to spend $330 a year on membership and that he or she has agreed to abide by the organization's code of ethics. But there's a vast gray area between extraordinary customer service and unethical practices. The ASTA logo doesn't necessarily mean you've found a highly skilled agent, which is one reason the organization has developed the new program.
The real seal of approval is yours.
"The best credential you can have is a referral from a friend," says Elaine Carey, a travel agent affiliated with Travel Experts, which is based in Whispering Pines, N.C. Indeed, a little due diligence can take you a long way. And once you've found someone you like, your word-of-mouth referral is worth more than any certification, seal or endorsement.
That's what Ann Wolfer discovered when she decided to use a travel agent at a large international travel company for her vacation to Cozumel, Mexico.
The agent looked good on paper and had all the right credentials, but when it came time to book, the adviser simply ran a Web search for available hotels in Mexico.
Talking to the agent "changed nothing," says Wolfer, who works for the military in Aberdeen, Md. Looking back, she wishes that she had found an expert on Mexico, perhaps someone recommended by one of her friends.
In the long run, no check mark is likely to replace word-of-mouth.

Q: Header checkbox can not be checked when clicked in jQuery Grid I have a jQUery Grid I added checkbox manually in the header(without using multiselect properties).
Now I would like to do header checkbox in jQuery Grid should be checked and unchecked when clicked.
Can anyone kindly suggest me a reasonable solution?
 function showDepartmentGrid(id) {
    $('#list_department_div').append('

');
    $("#list_department").jqGrid({
        data: eventReceiveDepartments,
        datatype: "local",
        colNames:[
            **'<input type="checkbox" onchange="checkAll(this)" name="chk[]"/>',**
            dictWords['user_department'],
            'eventId',
            'belongingDepartment',
            'department'
        ],
        colModel:[
            **{name: 'receive',
                class:'chcktbl',
                cellEdit: true,
                edittype: 'checkbox',
                sortable:false,
                align: 'center',
                editoptions: {value: "true:false"},
                formatter: "checkbox",
                width: '40',
                formatoptions: {disabled: false}
            },**
            {name:'departmentName',width: 170},
            {name: 'eventId', hidden:true},
            {name: 'belongingDepartment', hidden:true},
            {name: 'department', hidden:true}
        ],
        multiselect: false,
        height: 500,
        width: 250,
        shrinkToFit:false,
        rowNum: receiveDepartments.length,
        //caption: 'User master',
        //rownumbers: true,
        caption: dictWords['user_department'],
    });
}

**function checkAll(ele) {
    var checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    if (ele.checked) {
        for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
            if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                checkboxes[i].checked = true;
            }
        }
    } else {
        for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
            console.log(i)
            if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                checkboxes[i].checked = false;
            }
        }
    }
};**

I tried this way, set alert message in the checkAll function as well, alert message has shown but checkbox has not checked.(For more specification kindly check the **  ** portion code)

A: Finally I resolved the issue.I have added id and class field inside Input of (colName)
colNames:["<input id='headCheck' class='hdCheck' type='checkbox'/>" ]

Not need to add any array in name field.
Then inside of jquery grid, in load complete method I wrote checked unchecked logic for header checkbox.
         loadComplete: function () {
            //header checkbox made clickable
            $('.hdCheck').parent().removeClass('ui-jqgrid-sortable');
            var allRows=[];
            allRows = $('#list_department').jqGrid('getDataIDs');
            if ($("#headCheck").change(function(){
               if ($(this).is(':checked')){
                    isAllDepratment= true;
               }else{
                    isAllDepratment= false;
               }
               allRows.forEach(function(id) {
                    checkUncheckDepartment(id,isAllDepratment);
               });
           }));
        }
    // This method responsible for checked each row checkbox depends on 'rowid'
    // which satisfied my requirement.shared if helps anyone.
    function checkUncheckDepartment(rowid, isAllDepratment) {
       var list = kmcUI.getjqGridList({id: '#list_department'});
       var data = list.getRowData(rowid);
       for (var i in receiveDepartments) {
         if (data['eventId'] == receiveDepartments[i].eventId &&
           data['belongingDepartment']==receiveDepartments[i].belongingDepartment &&
           data['department'] == receiveDepartments[i].department
            ) {
            if (isAllDepratment == true){
                receiveDepartments[i].receive = isAllDepratment;
                list.setRowData(rowid, receiveDepartments[i]);
                break;
            }else{
                receiveDepartments[i].receive = isAllDepratment;
                list.setRowData(rowid, receiveDepartments[i]);
                break;
            }
        }
    }
}

A: The commented  part in the code is this line:
var checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');

With this line all the checkboxes are get including the header one and is set according to the condition.
Another thing is that you will need to stopPropagation, since in the header of jqGrid is attached another click event. So in order this to work, you will need first to pass
add a class in your checkbox and pass the event parameter and second to return e.stopPropagation(); at end of your function.
...
colNames:[
    '<input type="checkbox" onchange="checkAll(this, event)" class ="myclass" name="chk[]"/>',
...

and the function can look like this:
function checkAll(ele, e) {
    var checkboxes = document.getElementsByTagName('input');
    if (ele.checked) {
        for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
            if(!$(checkboxes[i]).hasClass('myclass')) {
                if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                    checkboxes[i].checked = true;
                }
            }
        }
    } else {
        for (var i = 0; i < checkboxes.length; i++) {
            if(!$(checkboxes[i]).hasClass('myclass')) {
                if (checkboxes[i].type == 'checkbox') {
                    checkboxes[i].checked = false;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    e.stopPropagation();
}

HomeSportsSoccerMen's soccerPataia, Drexel sour Owls' opener
Pataia, Drexel sour Owls' opener
An early Dragons goal in the first overtime doomed the Owls in the season-opener, as they fell, 1-0.
30 August 2014 Steve Bohnel Men's soccer, Sports
Even after returning seven starters that exceeded expectations in the newly-formed American Athletic Conference last season, men's soccer proved it still has work to do this fall, dropping its opening test to Drexel Friday.
"We knew this was going to be a tough game," coach Dave MacWilliams said, following the Owls' 1-0 loss. "And I keep telling our players, 'We haven't won a game yet this year. We can't keep relying on what we did last year, we have to focus on this year.' Hopefully, this wakes us up."
Drexel, a team that won the Colonial Athletic Association Conference title en route to a 9-8-4 finish last fall, found its deciding breakthrough just 2 minutes, 31 seconds seconds into the first overtime period when junior forward Joaquin del Rosario found space down the right-hand side of the field and fired a cross to senior midfielder Michele Pataia. Pataia kept his composure as he stood just outside the six-yard box, and as Owls senior goalie Dan Scheck raced off his line and tried to block the shot, the Dragons' product of Saint German, France deposited a low drive under Scheck and handed Drexel the winning tally.
It was the culmination of a turn of events for the Owls, as they had outshot the Dragons 9-5 in the opening half. However, after halftime, Drexel adjusted to even the shot count at 13 apiece by the end of regulation.
Temple had its chances, but couldn't find the one finishing touch that Drexel found early on in the first 10-minute overtime period.
"The first half, we definitely had more chances," sophomore defender Stefan Mueller said. "We created more opportunities that we should've ended the game with, and unfortunately, they came around to bite us in the butt."
Save the game-winner, the back line of Mueller, Robert Sagel, Jonah Williams, and Matt Mahoney played solid defensively, shutting down several Dragon attacks before they could get into Temple's penalty box.
One area that could give Temple's defense trouble this season lies in the counterattacks. Left back Stefan Mueller and right back Matt Mahoney like to push up the field, and if the defensive midfielders don't fill in those vacant spots, Temple is susceptible to allowing goals in those situations.
Sophomore defender and co-captain Robert Sagel said it's something that he thinks will improve with time.
"We're still starting to learn from each other," Sagel said. "We're starting to get in the groove a little bit. It will get better. It's the first game of the year, we'll learn from it."
On the offensive side of the ball, Temple had arguably its best chance of the match midway through the first half. Drexel's sophomore goalie, Tyler Afflerbach, had come off his line after making an initial save. He couldn't reach the ball, and the Owls' sophomore midfielder Dinho Zwane appeared to have a shot on an open net.
But soon after Zwane fired right inside the right side of the penalty box, Drexel's senior defender, Robert Liberatore, kicked the ball off the goal line, preventing what would have been the match-winning goal in regulation.
MacWilliams, in his 15th season as the Owls' coach, has prided himself in the way he teaches his teams to defend, and said he saw the significance of that play in the match's ultimate outcome.
"A goal changes the complexity of the game," MacWilliams said. "If we have scored early, the other team may now have to chase the game a bit. They have to open up a little bit more, take a little more risks."
MacWilliams added that whenever the Owls were close to scoring, the final touch or pass wasn't good enough to get the job done. Much of that has to do with Temple's inexperience at the collegiate level.
"You got four or five freshmen starting today [for us]," MacWilliams said. "So it's going to take a little time for us to get used to things…Continuity and chemistry are things we're still working on."
Temple will look to rebound Sunday when it faces Sacramento State at 2 p.m. at Ambler.

Bowen's views were strongly contested by a man of uncommon ability, Robert Carter, also of Cambridge, who wrote a series of papers in the Boston Atlas (1850) in defence of Kossuth and his party; and these papers, being reprinted in a pamphlet, were said to have caused the refusal of the Board of Overseers to confirm Bowen's nomination as Professor of History. Three years later, however, he was appointed Alford Professor of Natural Religion, Moral Philosophy, and Civil Polity, a position which he held until his death.

As a result they distinctly influenced the national literature; much, for instance, of the power now attributed to Emerson being really the unconscious result of the total movement. Fame is very chary of personal rights; it is difficult to erect a new altar. Everything tends to concentrate on a single name, and just as for years every good thing said in Boston was ultimately attributed to Holmes or Motley or Tom Appleton, so one sees to this day phrases credited to Emerson which really belonged to Alcott or Parker or Hedge. The late John S.

Hortense Anna Stephanie von Gelmini Edle zu Kreutzhof, verheiratete Freifrau Droste zu Hülshoff (* 14. April 1947 in Bozen, Südtirol, Italien), ist eine Musikerin, Malerin, Schriftstellerin und ehemalige Orchesterdirigentin.

Leben und Werk

Kindheit und Studium
Aus der Südtiroler Adelsfamilie Gelmini von Kreutzhof stammend, wuchs Hortense von Gelmini als Tochter des Gutsbesitzers und Importkaufmanns Johannes Anton von Gelmini Edler zu Kreutzhof und der Grafikerin und Malerin Erika von Gelmini in Salurn und Kirchzarten auf. Auf Grund früher Klavierkompositionen wurde sie bereits im Alter von 14 Jahren an der Hochschule für Musik Freiburg immatrikuliert und studierte später Dirigieren bei Herbert Froitzheim und Francis Travis, Komposition bei Wolfgang Fortner, Klavier in einer Meisterklasse bei Carl Seemann sowie Cello, Trompete und Klarinette.

Dirigentin und Pianistin
Als Dirigentin war sie vor allem in den 1970er-Jahren aktiv. 1969 gründete sie das Kammerorchester Orchestra Gelmini, konzertierte mit dem Orchester in Deutschland, auch mit Solisten wie etwa der Pianistin Fany Solter, und spielte Schallplatten- und Rundfunkaufnahmen ein, darunter eine Aufnahme mit Werken von Schostakowitsch, Roussel und Genzmer. Ab 1974 wirkte Gelmini als Gastdirigentin u. a. der Nürnberger Symphoniker, der Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz, der Hofer Symphoniker, des Sinfonieorchesters des Südwestfunks und – in dieser Position dort als erste Frau –  des Mozarteum-Orchesters Salzburg. Sie trat u. a. im Großen Festspielhaus Salzburg auf und arbeitete mit Künstlern wie Ludwig Güttler zusammen. 1980 beendete sie ihre Dirigentenkarriere. Ihre CD-Aufnahme von Anton Bruckners Nullter Symphonie mit den Nürnberger Symphonikern wurde 2000 für das Festival Bruckner-Marathon in Carlsbad (Kalifornien) ausgewählt, das sich zum Ziel gesetzt hatte, "some of the greatest Bruckner conductors" vorzustellen.

Sie wurde in Fernsehporträts des Bayerischen Rundfunks (1975), des Südwestfunks (1975) und des WDR (1980) vorgestellt und war 1975 Gast in der Talkshow Der heiße Draht mit Joachim Fuchsberger. Neben Rezensionen der Fachpresse über ihre Arbeit als Dirigentin erschienen Berichte, die noch heute als Beispiel für Sexismus gegenüber Dirigentinnen gelten. Der Journalist Stefan Aust interviewte sie zum Schwerpunkt Emanzipation der Frau.

Neben ihrer dirigentischen Tätigkeit war sie auch als Pianistin tätig und führte auch eigene Klavierkompositionen wie Tetrade unio mystica (1967) und Ich wär' so gern enthoben (1982) auf.

Schriftstellerin
Gelmini schreibt Bücher mit Essays und Gedichten zu primär christlichen Themen. Darunter das 1981 erschienene Buch Einblicke, eine illustrierte Sammlung von Essays, einer phänomenologischen Abhandlung und ersten Gedichten, in dem sie u. a. auch ihr Verständnis von Musik, den Musikbetrieb und das Dirigieren von Orchestern reflektierte. 1999 erschien in der Edition L das Werk Augenblicke christlicher Besinnung mit einer Auswahl von 92 Gedichten. Seit 2002 veröffentlicht sie ihre Bücher in dem von ihr gegründeten Verlag LPV-Hortense von Gelmini.

Bildende Künstlerin
Ab 1976 schuf Gelmini Gemälde und theologisch-philosophisch inspirierte Gemäldezyklen. 1977 nahm der Kunsthistoriker Franzsepp Würtenberger einen Abschnitt über sie in sein Werk Malerei und Musik auf und eröffnete es mit ihrem Gemälde Pfingsten. Ab 1981 entwickelte sie drehbare Altarretabel, z. B. in St. Michael (Rheinfelden-Karsau) sowie in Kirchzarten (Kapelle des Neuen Friedhofs am Giersberg), und erhielt Aufträge zur künstlerischen Gestaltung von Kirchen. Ihre Altarmalerei sieht sie als "Biblia pauperum" (Armenbibel); die einzelnen Gemäldetafeln stellt sie "aufs Eck" und bringt dadurch "das Kreuz auf die Fläche", so entsteht eine "Kreuzesikonostase". Seit 2001 stellt sie auch Computergrafiken und Atelier-Kunstdrucke her. Ihr künstlerisches Œuvre umfasst ca. 900 Bilder und Zeichnungen und wurde in zahlreichen Einzelausstellungen in städtischen und kirchlichen Galerien unter dem Titel "Christlicher Glaube in Bildsymbolik", u. a. beim 85. Katholikentag 1978 im Historischen Kaufhaus in Freiburg, gezeigt sowie in Büchern, Zeitschriften, Drucken und Kunstpostkarten veröffentlicht. Gelmini gestaltete St. Michael in Beuggen-Karsau (Innen- und Außengestaltung, Altarbilder, Kreuzweg), die Friedhofskapelle in Kirchzarten (Altarbilder, Altartisch, Ambo, Sedilien, Weihwasserspender) und die Burgkapelle auf Burg Meersburg (Altarbilder). Einer ihrer Gemäldezyklen wird in einem Schulbuch verwendet.

Beziehung zwischen Musik, Literatur und Kunst
Gelmini räumt keiner der Künste einen "Primat" über eine andere ein. Berührungspunkte innerhalb ihres Schaffens gibt es, indem sie sowohl Gedichte als auch Gemälde zu gleichen Themen schuf. Beispielsweise dirigierte sie 1974 die Vier Temperamente von Paul Hindemith, Motive, die sie 1985 auch in vier Bildern malte und 2005 in vier Gedichten umsetzte. Ihr Gemäldezyklus Gehirnmusik – in memoriam Anton Bruckner (1982) enthält ein Bild namens Synästhesie und zeigt eine Verbindung von Denken, Musik und Malerei auf; er wurde unter dem Titel Sieben Fühlstücke 2007 von Hans-Josef Winkler vertont und am 15. Januar 2012 in der Schwartzschen Villa in Berlin-Steglitz uraufgeführt. Sie selbst schuf nach dem Tod von Otto Gillen Federzeichnungen zu dessen Gedichten, die im Buch Maria Frau der Frauen publiziert wurden. Die Fotocollage-cover all ihrer Musikvideos und -Audios im Internet schuf Hortense von Gelmini selbst.

Privates
Seit 1978 ist sie mit Wilderich von Droste zu Hülshoff verheiratet, mit dem sie den Sohn Benedikt hat. Sie wohnen seit 2005 in Horben bei Freiburg im Breisgau. Gelmini führt den Verlag LPV-Hortense von Gelmini und leitete bis 2013 den von ihr gegründeten land- und forstwirtschaftlichen Betrieb mit angeschlossener Brennerei in Horben.

Stiftung Libertas per Veritatem
1993 wurde in Freiburg von Silvia Berk die gemeinnützige Stiftung Libertas per Veritatem gegründet. Seit 1999 ist Gelminis Ehemann Vorstand der Stiftung, deren Zweck es ist, durch das Werk Gelminis einen Beitrag zur Erhaltung christlicher Grundwerte in der Öffentlichkeit zu leisten. Hierfür unterhielt sie von 1994 bis 2006 in Freiburg die nichtkommerzielle Galerie Kunstsammlung Hortense von Gelmini, in welcher Ausstellungen ihrer Werke, Vorträge und Lesungen stattfanden.

The historical use of astragalus for immune support has been backed up by studies suggesting that it may help maintain healthy white blood cell and interferon activity.
Research highlighting a potential value in supporting immune function in influenza sufferers have made elderberry one of the most popular resistance supplements. The impressive flavonoid profile is especially worth noting in this respect.
Numerous studies have demonstrated that the sulphur compounds in garlic are active against a wide range of harmful microbes. This evidence supports the historical use of garlic in maintaining healthy resistance.
Research suggests that olive leaf exhibits considerable immune supportive and antimicrobial activity, warranting its common use in assisting the body's ability to combat bacteria,, viruses and yeast/fungi.
The flavonoids and phenolic acids in elderflower are associated with its common use in supporting the body during a cold. Elderflower may help encourage bronchial secretions and perspiration (which may help accelerate the removal of the virus).
Beta glucans, polysaccharide compounds prevalent in maitake mycelia, have been the subject of numerous studies highlighting remarkable immune supportive properties. Although this polysaccharide group is abundant in certain other species of fungi and plants, maitake beta glucans are possibly the most heavily researched to date.
SRB provides many nutrients that may support resistance, most notably inositol hexaphosphate (IP-6).
In addition to its anti-microbial properties, cayenne may promote healthy sinuses and encourage perspiration in a beneficial manner when the immune system is challenged.

On To Chicago: Rediscovering Robert F. Kennedy
Available in Digital Format here
Bedlam erupted among 1,500 ecstatic supporters when Bobby and Ethel Kennedy appeared. Looking tanned and rested, he stepped to the rostrum and pulled from his breast pocket an envelope on which he had jotted some notes. Giving a brief speech intentionally so he could wrap up the evening and get to the party, he congratulated his vanquished primary opponent, Eugene McCarthy, called for Party unity, and expressed hope that his campaign might end the divisions in America. . . . Bobby finished his remarks extemporaneously: We are a great country, an unselfish country, and a compassionate country. And I intend to make that my basis for running. Pausing until the cheers died down, he added, so my thanks to all of you, and now it is on to Chicago and let s win there.
The 1968 election was and remains spellbinding. Unlike modern presidential campaigns, where a dozen or more unknowns vie for debate stage sound bites, that year nine titans battled for the presidency. Fifty years later, most people are unaware that in a single race former Vice President Richard Nixon, California Governor Ronald Reagan, President Lyndon Johnson, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, New York Governor Nelson Rockefeller, Senator Eugene McCarthy, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, former Alabama Governor George Wallace, and Michigan Governor George Romney all squared off for the White House. The shocking assassination of Robert Kennedy on the night of his California primary victory left a gaping hole in history. and for five decades left this unanswered question: What if?
On to Chicago answers for history based on facts, not on idealized or romantic notions what likely would have happened if RFK had lived to go on to Chicago, the city that hosted the tumultuous 1968 Democratic National Convention. On to Chicago is a heavily researched and sourced work that twists the arc of history with facts that will appeal both to fiction lovers as well as pure history aficionados, because so much of it is true. With nearly one thousand endnotes online that confirm how much of this story mirrors reality, many revelations will surprise even the most dedicated history buffs.
James Rogan is a law professor, author, and a former Member of the United States House of Representatives from California. As a freshman member of the House Judiciary Committee, Rogan was chosen to help lead the prosecution in the impeachment and U.S. Senate trial of President Bill Clinton.

Q: Показать содержимое одного div в другом div без его копирования Суть такая, что на странице есть две одинаковые формы которые имеют ajax-валидацию. Но срабатывает она только на одной из них, так как идентификаторы формы одинаковые. Одна форма показывается при нажатии на кнопку в раздвигающемся блоке, а вторая при нажатии кнопки и во всплывающем окне.
Вопрос: как можно сделать так, что бы загрузить форму только один раз, а при нажатии на кнопки просто ее показывать с привязкой всех событий к ней?
Спасибо
A: Интересный вопрос.
Как вам такой вариант?

Кнопка на форме

Обработка будет такой:
Если окно всплыло, то атрибут type делаем "window" иначе "page"
$('#anybutton').click(function(){

if ($('#uniqueid').attr('type')=='page') alert('Clicked from page');
else alert('Clicked from window');
});

A: «Как сделать» — много вариантов. Уточните, чего при решении вы хотите избежать: в какую часть кода не залезать, а в какую можно, например.
Вариант, предполагающий, что событиями нажатия кнопок вы рулить можете/готовы.
Форму плагином выводить один раз, в скрытый div и сразу поменять все id на временные, напр. дописать префикс: elementId -> tmpl_elementId. При "нажатии кнопки" для раздвигающегося окна, или второй, для всплывающего, jQuery.clone() блок формы в соотв. раздвигающееся или всплывающее окно + менять id на "рабочие" для RS_Forms. Причем, по закрытии его, или "Отмене", надо стирать содержимое соотв. окна, чтобы не было конфликта со вторым.
A: Никаких временных атрибутов не надо, если у вас уже есть переменная указывающая на форму, то вы просто можете переместить ее используя .append() или .html()
$(function () {
    var $form = $('#first form');
    $form.submit(function () {
        if ($form.find('input:checkbox:not(:checked)').length > 0)     ('#errors').text('не все галочки поставлены').show(200).delay(2000).hide(200);
        else return true;
        return false;
    });
    $('#to_first').click(function () {
        $('#first').append($form);
    });
    $('#to_second').click(function () {
        $('#second').html($form);
    });
});

A marvelous small abalone Corian® sample. You need to order no more than 3 samples to qualify for free delivery.
Corian® is a high-tech surface created to offer a higher performance alternative to conventional surfacing materials, renowned for exceptional versatility, beauty and almost limitless application for residential, public and commercial environments, both indoor and outdoor. From kitchens to lighting, home automation systems to touch control surfaces, bathrooms to the skin of buildings and furnishing and fashion accessories, the "alchemy" of Corian® can be found in an extensive and expanding range of everyday products, systems and designs.
Corian® is a synthetic, solid, nonporous, surface countertop material. One its many advantages is that the countertops feature a nearly seamless joint. It is also extremely durable and easy to maintain. Corian is stain, heat, and sunlight resistant.
For everyday cleaning, use soapy water or widely available cleaners.
Remove exccess detergent with a soft cloth, rinse surface with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
If necessary use a microfibre cloth and rub over the surface with an ammonia based cleaner, then rinse with water.
This procedure will remove most dirt and residue from your Corian® surfaces.
Always clean using a circular motion, from the front to the back, then side to side, overlapping the circles until the entire area has been cleaned. Do not use abrasive or mild abrasive cleaners on high gloss or dark surfaces.
Be aware that limescale can build up if water is left to dry on the surface.
To prevent this, it is important to wipe the surface completely dry with a microfibre cloth after spills and cleaning. Some colours of Corian® may require more frequent cleaning to maintain uniform finish.


So, like most people, I'm not the biggest fan of winter. But, I love snow. I figure if it's going to be cold, it might as well be pretty. And you can't beat snow photos. Just like the postal service, snow doesn't stop the newspapers from running. So I set out in my snow boots (best investment I've ever made) and walked around downtown to find people out and about during the Winter Storm Saturn or "Snowquester" or whatever dumb name they gave it a couple of weeks ago.
