Dominican nun shares 'signs of life' with hearing
Dominican Sister of Peace Shirley Bodisch has seen some incredible things in her 30 years of fellowship with deaf Catholics, but one decades-old memory still moves her.
During Masses in the chapel of Baton Rouge's Catholic Deaf Center, a deaf worshiper would carefully watch the hearing interpreter translate the spoken liturgy into sign language. After processing the interpreter's visual cues, the deaf man would relay the Mass' proceedings to his deaf-and-blind parents by placing the corresponding hand and finger signs onto their palms.
"The mother would be on one side and the father on the other, and the son would be ambidextrous, signing the Mass to both his parents simultaneously," recalled Sister Shirley, 68. "I would watch him and be totally astonished. What a gift he was to them! The love that went into that!"
Breaking down communication barriers between the deaf and hearing worlds continues to inspire Sister Shirley, an American Sign Language (ASL) instructor with the People Program, the Congregation of St. Joseph-founded program of enrichment courses for students aged 50 and older.
During the six-week summer session, Sister Shirley's class of six hearing students will focus on learning the ASL gestures related to the home, clothing and travel.
"I'm amazed at how much they learn because it's very hard. The older you are, the harder it is to pick up a language," said Sister Shirley, who donned a yellow cap and shirt during a recent class to teach her pupils the sign for that color.
Armed with illustrated handouts, the students – some first-timers and others more advanced – learned the ASL signs for concepts such as "drawer," "window," and "kitchen," folding their new vocabulary into full sentences by the end of the hour-long class. They concluded by completing a word-search puzzle, an activity Sister Shirley uses to sharpen her students' visual acuity.
"Some of them struggle and others just sail on," Sister Shirley said. "We go slowly so that everyone has a chance to be able to improve their skills."
An unexpected calling
A native of Boston who moved to Gulfport at age 12 and entered the convent at 18, Sister Shirley spent the first 20 years of her ministry teaching religion and social studies to hearing students at elementary schools in Louisiana and Mississippi, and at St. Mary's Dominican High. A ministerial change of direction came "clean out of the blue" in 1982: Father Miles Kearney, pastor of St. Francis de Sales Parish for the Deaf in Baton Rouge, asked Sister Shirley to come on as his associate. At the time, she had no experience with the deaf or ASL.
"I said, 'God, if I can learn this language well, then that will be a sign from you for me to go ahead into this ministry; but if it's a struggle for me to learn it, it will be a sign that you don't want me to go,'" said Sister Shirley, who immediately "fell in love with the language" during classes at St. Mary's Dominican and Delgado Community colleges.
"I found it very easy to learn," she recalls.
Eager teachers
Early on in her new role, the deaf would pull Sister Shirley into their meetings to immerse her in ASL, patiently correcting her when she made mistakes.
"(The deaf) were my best teachers," Sister Shirley said. "My vocabulary expanded by watching them and asking them questions. It took me about four years of interacting with them on a daily basis (to become fluent)."
When Father Kearney was reassigned, Sister Shirley was appointed by Baton Rouge Bishop Stanley J. Ott to direct the center, which included a school of religion for Catholic students attending the nearby state school for the deaf. Sister Shirley built up her parish base by teaching the deaf to serve as Mass lectors, extraordinary ministers of holy Communion and altar servers, by decorating the chapel to reflect the changing liturgical seasons, and by holding socials after the "bilingual" signed and spoken Masses.
"It was so successful that eventually hearing people from nearby communities started to come," Sister Shirley recalled. "They enjoyed, I think, the smallness of the parish, as well as the participation that went on, and they began to learn some of the signs for themselves."
Returning to New Orleans in 1990, Sister Shirley kept up her signing skills during a seven-year stint as vocation director for the Dominican congregation. On weekends she facilitated Bible studies at deaf centers in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Lake Charles, Gulfport and at St. Gerard's Catholic Deaf Center in New Orleans, founded in 1971 as the state's first parish for the deaf and a continuing apostolate of St. Francis Xavier Seelos Parish in Bywater.
"I-10 was my office," chuckled Sister Shirley, adding that while a subsequent nine-year position on the Dominicans' leadership council took her away from regular work with the deaf, the People Program expressed interest in her special skills in 2010.
"A lot of hearing people think signs stand for English words, but they don't," said Sister Shirley, addressing her current class of students at the People Program's main campus on Lakeshore Avenue. "People who were born deaf, or who went deaf at a very early age, do not think in English because they've never heard English words," she said.
For example, the sign for "home" is made by touching the side of the mouth and then touching the top part of the cheek – to convey the concept of "home" as the place where one eats (mouth) and sleeps (cheek).
The altogether different concept of "house" is signed by tracing the outline of a physical roof and walls.
"Deaf people live the same way as hearing people do," Sister Shirley said, "but in a world where they don't hear what's going on."

The Olissippo Lapa Palace has three sections. The original Palace, built in 1870, was completely renovated in 2003, with craftsmen recreating by hand furniture in the 18th century styles of the Portuguese monarchs João V, José and Maria I.
The Garden and Villa wings continue this classic Portuguese theme and here the sumptuous decor is informed by a more modern sensibility. In the Garden wing you'll find spacious rooms on the first to the third floors facing the garden and the swimming pool; on the fourth to the sixth floors the rooms have views of the pool, garden, river and the city. For larger parties these rooms can interconnect.
The larger, beautifully-appointed Palace Deluxe Rooms are situated on the higher floors of the original Palace and afford magnificent views of the river, city and/or garden from their balconies and terraces. Rich fabrics and superior furnishings contribute to the tasteful elegance of these palatial rooms, each of which feature individual decoration. Exquisite details complement the whole, from the handsome marble en-suite bathrooms to the superb array of room amenities. Connecting rooms are available upon request.
All these rooms are spacious and have balconies to enjoy the charming views. Their large, opulent marble bathrooms are well equipped and have double basins. And you'll find all the modern amenities. Air conditioning keeps you comfortable whatever the weather, and all the rooms have internet access and safes. The 24 hour room service allows you to indulge any craving – day or night – and is just another example of the inimitable style of the Lapa Palace.


The possibilities for IoT might be boundless. Find out areas where architects can prepare for and take advantage of an increasingly connected world.
Although the Internet of Things (IoT) is still new, enterprise architects should plan now for a more connected future rather than catching up with the integration challenges after the floodgates have opened. "It's not a matter of where IoT is entering but where isn't IoT going to push into the enterprise," said Mike Walker, a research director at Gartner Inc.
Gartner predicts that 26 billion IoT units will be installed by 2020 and that these units will lead to a staggering $1.8 trillion surge in the global economic climate. "There is a technology explosion occurring with Internet of Things right now, and that will only continue to occur," Walker said.
Walker expects some of the primary entry points for enterprise IoT to be customers, employees, company strategists and suppliers. Customers will adopt wearables, virtual reality and robotics. Companies will use enterprise IoT for new business models, such as banks, manufacturers and healthcare seizing opportunities to further monetize existing services and create new ones. Suppliers will strive to improve intimacy with customers, collect data and create compelling experiences to attract and retain customers.
It's not a matter where IoT is entering but where isn't IoT going to push into the enterprise.
Mike Walker, research director,Gartner Inc.
Rohan Joy Thomas, a measurement and instrumentation research analyst at Frost & Sullivan, expects IoT to revolutionize the transportation, consumer electronics and utilities industries. In the transportation industry, the need for interconnectivity between vehicles and remote diagnostics capabilities has taken automotive after-sales by storm. The emergence of the eCall initiative in Europe is helping make connectivity between cars ubiquitous. "This will result in demand for specialized sensors and network operators and therefore the need for specialized testing equipment," Thomas said.
Another area with great potential is connected homes and connected work. Thomas sees a major trend toward real-time maintenance and troubleshooting. Smart homes and smart metering are gaining considerable traction around the world. "As the trend becomes more widespread, there are requirements for an interface that can bring all this together on a single platform," Thomas said.
In many cases, enterprises need to think about the architectural implications of connecting to consumer-oriented devices, said Tom Kerber, director of research at Parks Associates, an industry analyst firm. Small businesses often acquire residential products and apply them to their business. Security systems, thermostats and lighting are leading IoT applications that cross over from residential to business. Building management systems, energy management platforms and HVAC systems within the commercial world are often connected to a cloud service that allows for remote operation and support.
Information architecture and management should be top of mind with IoT initiatives being heavily information centric, said Gartner's Walker. The area of most impact is in the integration space. The challenge for most organizations will be translating the enormous amount of noise into meaningful insights.
Walker said the critical considerations for enterprise architects include information flow rather than protocols and technologies, risk management, information security -- but ensure it is in the context of the scenario and risk profile, and SOA, which architects should combine with the necessary IoT-enabled services. Architects should also remember that IoT standards are still in their infancy. They should be prepared for change because technologies, standards and business opportunities will be more fluid than before.
The interoperability architecture needed will be different from traditional architectures. Each layer of the integration architecture will extend or introduce a new set of technologies and considerations.
Management: Open Mobile Alliance's device management and machine-to-machine specifications.
The first question many enterprise architects consider is how to get a product online. They face an immediate problem that can be solved with an Internet connection. Once the product is online, the second-order implications become clear, said Zach Supalla, founder and CEO at Spark IO, which provides an open source toolkit for IoT devices.
Connecting a washer or dryer to the Internet might make it easier to diagnose problems and send out repairmen. It's also easier to do things like track detergent consumption. That's where integration starts to become important, Supalla said. Speed isn't just about being "first to market" -- it's about getting something into customers' hands that works and can be iterated quickly toward better versions of the product.
An opportunity exists for concepts from Agile software development to be adopted in hardware, now that hardware is coming online and behaving more like software, Supalla said. By combining rapid prototyping tools like 3-D printing and computer numerical control milling (to make it easier to iterate on physical hardware) and over-the-air firmware updates (to make it easier to iterate on the embedded software within the device), it becomes possible to apply continuous delivery to hardware.
Organizations should consider a cloud-based integration strategy rather than depend on a hardwired interface, said Parks Associates' Kerber. This makes it easier to implement value-added services and expose those services via APIs. These can form the building blocks of value-added service applications, which make it easier to take advantage of new opportunities.
The market will shift from centralized control systems to a more distributed intelligence model, where the intelligence is at the edge of the network and devices use information to automatically make smart decisions on the owner's behalf. Kerber suggests that enterprise architects adopt a robust API strategy and SDK for integration with value-added services.
The growth in new devices will accelerate the ongoing disaggregation and decentralization of stacks and architectures. The enterprise is quickly migrating to a world where new services rely on thousands of servers, tens of thousands of integrated devices, and hundreds of thousands of mobile phones or tablets.
Daniel Kador, co-founder and CTO of Keen IO, an IoT analytics service, said, "Integration time is going to be seen as the most important metric for the enterprise. Businesses that target getting up and running quickly for specific use cases are going to be more and more popular."
Building a successful ecosystem of IoT-enabled services requires the enterprise architect to think about using new software and services in an intelligent way. Kador said, "Don't solve problems that have already been solved. Take advantage of the ability to gather and analyze data across entire fleets of devices. And don't let that flood of data ruin your organization's ability to be intuitive and design-focused."
How is your organization preparing for IoT?
IoT comes with great benefits and the organization is looking into operation efficiency, safety of products, market timing, potential overhead cost reductions and location tracking as ways of preparing for the system. It is important that any organization looking into IoT first realize the impact of the system and prepare for the same before implementing the same as it has particular departments that it considers fundamental in deploying this system.
On the small company indie side of film production, it's been a pretty ad hoc affair based on getting to it later.... The big companies and major players tend to be a bit behind the curve on this, but they're scurrying to catch up to the inevitable. Given the recent Sony hack, their IT departments may not be up to the task.
IoT devices need to have a standard management plugin and greater security before organizations will integrate them into business processes.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, robert53. Is your organization contemplating integrating IoT devices?
We will be replacing our building security with IoT devices connected to a private network this year. Last year we put IoT sensors into our data centers to monitor power and cooling. The first issue we needed to overcome was routing the private data from all data centers to a central location. We may have to look into IPv6 for our IoT devices this year since our private networks are becoming full.
Sounds interesting, robert53. I hope your replacement project goes without a hitch!


I can finally blog about the Food Network Challenge because it aired today! I was an assistant to the oh so talented Amber McKenny of Sweet on Cake in Napa. We filmed this challenge in January and since I had so much fun I came back as a lead for another challenge which will air in October. Let's just say, the stress as a lead doesn't even compare to the stress as an assistant. I swear these challenges took 3 years off my life! I told Amber I'd go back as her assistant, but as a lead... I have to think about that.We make a killer team and our cake rocked! Honestly, I thought we should have won. But, Orlando's winning cake was pretty amazing. Here is a snap shot of the us and the cake. The coolest part...we got to meet Joan Cusack.

The 33085d6328e4.patch compiles but the test gives a segfault.
I have tested the original version, however instead of segfault I got exception (wrong map name). The fixed version were compiled for me, and the test passed.
It would be nice to make it possible for the user to walk on the tree, or at least iterate on the edges of a path between two nodes. Currently it cannot be done. It might be enough to provide a public access to the order data.
Beyond the current minCutMap(), it might be useful to have a possibility to iterate through the edges of a cut like this.
If the value of a minimum cut is std::numeric_limits<Value>::max(), then the minCutValue() and minCutMap functions will not work correctly. I guess, it can be fixed by changing the value comparisons in the if statements from < to <= when looking for the minimum value element on the path.
Isn't this bug appear at other places in the algorithm?
outside the for cycle and make it empty at each iterations.
minCutMap(s,t, cut) should consistently set cut[s] to true and cut[t] to false.
[5ecf45167d4e] implements the ideas above, unfortunately with no documentation.
Could anyone tell me why do we have an init()/start() separation in the public API? Does it have any practical use?
Tha attached bundle file contains three changesets.
[924887566bf2] is the original port of Janos + the bugfixes added by deba ([926295286bdb]) + some more added by me the have make distcheck run.
[ccd2d3a3001e] is the implementation of the ideas above, plus a thorough revision of the doc.
[e72bacfea6b7] renames GomoryHuTree to GomoryHu.
[d6b40ebb2617] is a doc improvement on the top of [e72bacfea6b7].
I think the bundle file and this changeset should go to the main branch.

Opening in November, Rhythms and Reflections marks Fabienne Verdier's first solo exhibition in London and will feature large-scale abstract paintings produced over the last year. These include recent work from the Walking Paintings series as well as a new group of paintings, Rhythms and Reflections, which mark a noteworthy change of direction.
Transformations in Verdier's physical and performative creative practice in recent years can be seen most vividly in the new title series. These paintings were made following Verdier's return to France from a period of intense experimentation spent as the first visual artist-in-residence at The Juilliard School in New York in 2014. The creation of both music and painting simultaneously awakened in Verdier a profound awareness of vibration and the rhythm of melodic phrases.
In the Rhythms and Reflections works, Verdier balances her on-going exploration of gesture with a consideration of the pictorial surface as a whole and consequently the creation of a sense of space and depth. Multiple layers of glaze are initially built up, adding a translucency and vibrancy to the surface of each canvas. Definition is given to an abstract plane of broad monochromatic brushstrokes through a series of vertical drips of paint that Verdier resolutely incorporates into the composition. A departure from her previous practice, the new works on the whole are less about the physical act of painting and more about the consideration of a rhythmic layering, nomadism and sudden events of mark making.

Landmannalaugar, Iceland (courtesy Arianna Russo)
Did you go somewhere interesting this summer? Did you discover a place that piqued your curiosity? Did you seek out, or stumble onto, an interesting environmental (hi)story?
We asked, you answered. And supplied captions.
Here are some of the submissions from our loyal and adventurous readers.

The Skógafoss is one of the largest waterfalls in Iceland. Legend has it that the first Viking to settle in this area buried a treasure in the cave behind the waterfall. (1 August 2018)
Landmannalaugar is located in the Highlands of Iceland. It is known for its geothermal baths and its beautiful landscape. For centuries, weary travellers would use these geothermal hot springs as a form of relaxation after long excursions. (2 August 2018)

I was in Nassau, Bahamas for a week, and I got the opportunity to visit a national park called "Primeval Forest." As the capital of the Bahamas, Nassau has experienced intense tourism as well as mass exploitation of its forests. Combine this context with me reading up on debates around "pristine wilderness,"and you got me thinking about how nations have developed discourses on what is "natural" and where that boundary ends. It was a great trek, though we were told that people would come looking for us if we did not arrive back at the entrance in one hour and thirty minutes! Multiple sinkholes scattered throughout(140 to be exact), with poison wood, and limestone caverns made for one unforgettable experience.

Tadoussac is at the confluence of the St. Lawrence and the Saguenay Rivers in Quebec. The mix of water from the two rivers and the Atlantic ocean creates a nutrient rich habitat for all kinds of sea life. Tadoussac has a long history of continuous economic use by Innu nations, fur traders, and the pulp and paper industry. Hôtel Tadoussac, the large red building at centre, was built in 1864 as a tourist resort. Now the whole area is a mecca for whale watching – belugas, humpbacks, right whales, and others gather here to feast on krill in the summer months.
I visited Tadoussac this summer as part of a French language course. Quebec was in the midst of its hottest July on record. The heat, and the tumultuous weather that came with it, made me wonder how human relationships with this spot will change in the future. Tadoussac and the surrounding marine environment are protected by Parks Canada, but these protective measures cannot control industrial activity upriver, or the steady the warming Atlantic Ocean.

I love stopping in Cabano, QC for some of the prize-winning cheese at Fromagerie Le Detour. As authentic as Grey Owl himself. As exciting as @alanmaceachern's hike to nearby Lac à Foin. Almost.
Lunch with my PhD advisor at McCrackens Landing on beautiful Stony Lake. I drove, he sailed. No e-boats in sight, but the Tesla charging station & propane tanks evoked @awatson8381's work in #envhist#energyhistory

One day you're gone away forever. Your footprints will be erased from the path of the earth. Would anybody seriously miss you?
Some people will still find you on Google. But will anyone really miss you?
I feel empty when I think that everything in this world will be as usual when I will not roam on the landscape anymore. Birds will sing as they do today, flowers will blossom as they do today. Everyone besides me will wake up with a shiny face.
Some of my Facebook friends have passed away in recent time. Friends expressed wrote condolence notes on their walls. It seemed to me like a routine as people wish happy birthdays.
People show their condolences for sometimes when someone passes away. But those sympathies are short living. People forget dead people very fast.
I know the reality of life and death. We are born with sentences. We don't know when sentences will be executed.
I will die sooner or later. I often wonder how my family and friends will remember me when I am gone. I don't think that they will remember my death anniversary as they remember my birthday.
This thought gives me pensive sadness. I will not feel anything when I don't live anymore. But I can't live with the fact that people will not miss me, the world will not feel my absence.
I am here only in the present. I was not here yesterday, I will not be here tomorrow. My footmarks will disappear from the landscape sometimes. It is hard to accept that I don't have any significance. My existence does not mean anything in the world.
We all want to lasting achievements that prevail after our deaths. We want to have name and fame. If we don't have something significant, we at least build a house or something like that. We expect that our accomplishments will remain after death. We want our legacies to pass on to the next generation.
But whatever we do, people don't remember us the way we want to. Death is obvious; it does not scare me much. I have a hard time accepting the brutal truth that nobody will miss me when I am gone.
The world is a beautiful but brutal place. We are good at showing compliments. We greet our friends and families; we hug them when we meet. They express their love and feelings for you. They congratulate you on your achievements.
All compliments and well-wishes are empty curtseys. People do these as long as you are physically present. When you are gone, everything is gone.
Even when you are alive, you can not count on anyone when you are in need. You are on your own. You are alone in the crowd.
People have compassion, empathy, and kindness for one another although our own interests come first.
You can live in a mansion but after death, you will get a nameplate on your grave.
We are doing and planning things for the future. We are not giving considerations to the possibility of our deaths in plannings. We are pretending as if we are immortal.

Q: Solving an equation in quaternions How to solve equation $x^4=1$ in quaternions?
I know how to solve that equation in complex numbers but I have no idea how to do it in quaternions.
I have also a question about general way to solve equations in quaternions.  And is there similar theorem to fundamental algebra theorem which connects degree of polynomial equation with number of quaternion roots of that equation?
EDIT:
My task was to find roots $x^2+1=0$
EDIT2:
How to prove that $x^2+1=0$ has infinite number of roots?
I represented x as $a+bi+cj+dk$ and get equations: $a^2−b^2−c^2−d^2=−1$ and $ab+cd=0$, $ac−bd=0$, $ad+cb=0$. Is it worth to solve that or is there a smarter way?

A: Let me consolidate my two comments into an answer that may be a bit clearer to the OP.
You want to find all the roots of the polynomial $x^4 - 1$ in the quaternions $\Bbb{H}$. Note that $x^4 - 1 = (x^2 - 1)(x^2 + 1)$, just as in $\Bbb{R}$ or $\Bbb{C}$ and note that $\Bbb{H}$ has no non-trivial zero divisors: if $X, Y \in \Bbb{H}$, then $XY = 0$ implies $X = 0$ or $Y = 0$. So $X^4 -1 = 0$ iff either $X^2 - 1 = 0$ or $X^2 + 1 = 0$.
For a general element $X = a + bi + cj+ dk$ of $\Bbb{H}$, where $a, b, c, d \in \Bbb{R}$, we have the identity:
$$
X^2 = (a + bi + cj+ dk)^2 = a^2 - b^2 - c^2 - d^2 + 2a(bi + cj + dk)
$$
which you can verify by multiplying out using the formulas $ij = k$, $jk = i$, $ji = -k$ etc.
Thus, comparing cooefficients, $X^ 2 - 1 = 0$ iff:
$$
a^2 - b^2 - c^2 - d^2 = 1 \\
ab = ac = ad = 0
$$
From the first of those equations, we must have $a \neq 0$, but then from the other equations we must have $b = c = d = 0$, implying that $a^2= 1$. So the only solutions to $x^2 - 1 = 0$ are the quaternions $X = \pm 1$.
Likewise, if $X^2 + 1 = 0$, we must have:
$$
a^2 - b^2 - c^2 - d^2 = -1 \\
ab = ac = ad = 0
$$
And then the first equation tells us that at least one of $b$, $c$ or $d$ is non-zero, from which one of the the other equations will tell us that $a = 0$. So the solutions of $x^2 + 1 = 0$, are the quaternions $X = bi + cj + dk$ where $b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 1$.
Putting that all together gives us all the solutions of $x^4 + 1 = 0$: they are the quaternions $X$ such that $X = \pm 1$ or $X = bi + cj + dk$ where $b^2 + c^2 + d^2 = 1$.

A: Since all the coefficients are real, the roots will have the form $a+bu$ where $u$ is any pure imaginary/vector quaternion whose squared components sum to unity, and $a,b$ are the values for which $a+bi$ is a root in $\mathbb{C}$. Note that real roots with $b=0$ remain discrete.
Thus for instance if $(1+i)/\sqrt2$ is a root in $\mathbb{C}$, they you have quaternion roots of the form $(1+u)/\sqrt2$.

A: There is a continuum of ways to imbed the (algebraically closed) field $\mathbb C$ into the Hamiltonian quaternions. Namely, letting $j(a+bi)=a+bi+0j+0k$ be the "obvious" imbedding, for every non-zero quaternion $\beta$, $\beta\cdot j(a+bi)\cdot \beta ^{-1}$ is another imbedding of a copy of $\mathbb C$.

Q: Can Visual Studio 2008 work with Team System 2005? I would like to upgrade my team from VS2005 to VS2008 without touching the version of Team Server which is 2005.
Is that possible?
And if so, how do I tell VS to recognize TFS?
Currently in my VS2008 options menu, I don't have any source control to choose from.

A: VS 2008 works fine with TFS 2005.  There are a couple of exceptions in the Team Build area (which changed massively between 2005 and 2008) but otherwise you will be able to do everything you need to do from the Visual Studio 2008 client.
You need to ensure that you have the 2008 version of the Team Explorer installed to add TFS functionality into Visual Studio.  The 2005 version only installs into Visual Studio 2005.  To download the 2008 version see the following link
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=0ed12659-3d41-4420-bbb0-a46e51bfca86
Note that if you have previously applied SP1 of Visual Studio 2008, then you will need to run it again once installing Team Explorer.
For what it is worth, I would encourage you to upgrade to TFS 2008 on the server side as soon as you can.  TFS 2008 works fine with client connecting from Visual Studio 2005 machine but it has some significant performance improvements and the Team Build functionality is much improved.

A: Yes, you can... (We're doing that here too)

*

*Tools -> Connect To Team Foundation Server

*"Add..."

*Enter IP / hostname

A: Yes, that works fine. If you install the Team Foundation Client from the TFS 2008 DVD on your VS machine, you can connect to both TFS 2005 and TFS 2008 servers. If you don't have access to a TFS 2008 DVD (note that the trial should be fine), installing the 2005 client on VS 2008 should also work, but I've never personally tried that.

A: Do you have the Team Foundation Client installed?
If you have the Team Version it should be residing in the TFC folder on your installation DVD. (I don't know why it isn't an option in the installer)
It is also possible to download the TFC from Microsoft (for free), there is an SP1 version on Microsoft Downloads.

Today I was invited to attend a Bushcraft session by Denbighshire County Council's ambassador scheme.. We were welcomed by Jamie who moved to the area two years ago to live and set up The Wild Bush craft Company and his gorgeous dog Brew. Jamie who is orginally from Scotland, was a ranger in Loch Lomond before starting a similar business working with youth groups in Hampshire with his Welsh wife Sheena seven years ago.
Our morning was split into three skills, starting a fire , baking bread outdoors and axe throwing. I was curious to see how these three skills would marry up. There was more to fire lighting that I had orignally thought. First we were shown how to collect some tinder from the bark of some Silver Birch which apparently is natures natural fire lighters, because of the natural oils infused in its bark. We were then shown how to collect varying sizes of kindling in order to sustain the fire once lit. Jamie's experience of working with groups shows in the patience he had with our group as we struggled to spark the fire. Finally those flames took hold and we all cheered as we gently placed the the neat bundles of kindling on top of the tenuous flames. Jamie went on to explain in cooking our prey, fire developed us as humans, as our guts shrunk as we no longer needed them to eat raw meat our brains grew and we developed through the ages, fascinating stuff! I for one, will no longer take my matches for granted.
Each group was then show how to create a pot holder to boil some water for a well earned cuppa.
It was then time to get our hands sticky with the bread making, using a simple recipe and a stick to cook them over the open fire we soon had ourselves some Bannock bread. It was a lovely experience chatting around the open fire, gently toasting our bread to the sound of birdsong and a distant steam train, with a gentle nudge every now and again from Brew who wanted me throw his stick.
Before we left, Jamie ( with a touch of Rollo from Vikings) gave us a quick lesson in axe throwing, which was suprisingly satisfying although I think we all needed some more practice before we would have any chance of hitting the bullseye.
If you fancy a go at any of these activities or some wild camping visit the website for online booking and prices.

Husband of late BBC presenter to share experiences at wellness event
The husband of BBC presenter Rachael Bland will be at the wellness event of the year to share his experiences of the last 12 months since she died from breast cancer.
Rachael died on 5 September last year, two years after being diagnosed with incurable breast cancer.
She was part of the award-winning podcast You, Me and the Big C, when her and co-hosts Lauren Mahon and Deborah James discussed their own experiences of cancer.
Steve Bland will join a host of inspirational speakers at the Being Well Festival at Ricoh Arena on Thursday 24 October which aims to promote happier, healthier lives by educating people about their health and general wellness.
As the first anniversary of his wife's death approaches, he said: "I miss Rachael every day. Since she died, we have had our wedding anniversary, her birthday in January, Christmas and Valentine's Day so dates are always coming up that are going to have extra poignancy.
"When September 5 arrives, I will cross that bridge when I come to it and not worry too much in the days leading up to it about how certain things are going to feel. I won't be overthinking it too much."
Steve has been invited to speak at the Being Well Festival by BBC Midlands Today presenter Mary Rhodes, who is Chair of the Breast Cancer Haven Development Board, and he believes it is important to carry on Rachael's work.
"When Rachael died there was interest in her story and I took the decision that I didn't want all the great work she had done to no longer have an impact because I would have felt really bad," he said.
"She did so many amazing things to change the narrative around cancer, death and serious illness and I felt I had a responsibility to carry it on because people really responded to her story.
"When Mary got in touch, I thought the festival seemed like a great, positive event and I'm looking forward to getting involved."
Steve is also working on future editions of the podcast You, Me and the Big C which will soon be released.
He added: "I helped Rachael to put it together when she first had the idea of the podcast last year because I was a producer at BBC Radio 5 Live and she was a presenter there.
"I joined Lauren and Deborah last November on an episode to talk about how I was getting on and we had a great deal of positive feedback from listeners saying why didn't I get involved permanently.
"I get on really well with Lauren and Deborah and I think I have brought a different perspective and it seems to work."
The Being Well event will give visitors the opportunity to shop at a 'wellbeing marketplace', take part in activities and taster sessions, receive one-to-one advice on health and wellbeing and attend a special ticketed lunch.
Breast Cancer Haven, which will benefit from funds raised throughout the day, operates from seven locations across the UK and provides emotional, physical and practical support for anyone affected by breast cancer including one-to-one therapy and counselling for family and friends.

Stock markets have continued to show declines in the last month, while fixed income and gold have acted as defensive assets. Good, but less dynamic confidence data, the political risks deriving from the protectionist policies that could trigger a trade war between the United States and China and, lastly, the normalisation of monetary policy by the principal central banks, are the main risks. Expensive valuations will lead to lower returns and greater volatility. Gabriel Noguera, from the Customer Strategy Department, presents the investment perspectives for April in this video. You can keep up to date with the latest financial markets news on the "Sabadell Inversor" website.


The photo would soon be picked up by several other accounts associated with white supremacy.
On September 5, alt-right Twitter user @stevetweets13 tweeted the picture of the pregnant woman and wrote, "Why would a French sexual health book use a white woman having a black baby as their example? It's not the default picture anyone starts with, is it?" They added, "Someone said 'make the baby black'. Why is that?" The tweet received over 1,000 "likes" and was retweeted over 500 times.
Other white supremacists on Twitter, both English and French, followed suit, tweeting the photos and claiming it was part of a sinister plot to replace white Europeans.
It wasn't just English-speaking white supremacist websites and forums that latched onto the book, however.
Today, even something as innocuous as a cartoon depicting a mixed-race family can be seized upon by white supremacists and woven into a grand conspiracy about a mythical plot to eradicate whites. And thanks to the power of social media, it can happen in a matter of days.

The Clayton Conundrum
The Clayton ConundrumThere is something that I like to call "Schottenheimer Consciousness," which is the surprising and unhappy realization that no matter how talented you …
There is something that I like to call "Schottenheimer Consciousness," which is the surprising and unhappy realization that no matter how talented you are and no matter how hard you work and no matter how clearly you seem to see the future, your story will not turn out the way you planned.
Marty Schottenheimer was a great football coach. He was not a good football coach. He was a great one. Schottenheimer unknowingly had spent all his life preparing to become a great football coach. He grew up in the heart of steel and football country, Canonsburg, Pa., McDonald, Pa., places like that, just outside of Pittsburgh, where football gets into your lungs, where Lujack and Namath and Blanda and Unitas and Ditka and Marino and Kelly played, where coaches like Chuck Knox and Bill Cowher and Marvin Lewis and Mike McCarthy grew up on the game. Schottenheimer went to Pitt. He was a linebacker and a special teams madman in Buffalo. He became the defensive coordinator for the New York Giants when he was only 33 yeas old.
He intended to win championships as a coach, that's why you do that stuff, and Schottenheimer knew he had it in him, knew that he had the talent to motivate and the empathy to understand how players felt and the raw power to make a team play together as one.
He took over a Cleveland Browns team that was a mess, a team that had missed its brief window and had lost its way. He took that team and molded it into a tough unit that made few mistakes and won on special teams, and they made consecutive AFC Championship Games. They lost both in utterly heartbreaking fashion.
But, this is important, this was before Marty had achieved Schottenheimer Consciousness. He still thought of himself as a great young coach who would win championships. He got into a nasty conflict with Browns owner Art Modell -- as people did -- and left for Kansas City, a team that had made the playoffs once in 17 years, a city that had lost all interest and all hope. There were officially 30,000 people at the last Chiefs home game before Schottenheimer was hired.
He and general manager Carl Peterson built a winner, not just on the field -- the Chiefs had winning records in Schottenheimer's first nine straight seasons and made the playoffs in seven of them — but in how they turned Kansas City back into a football town. Suddenly, every game sold out. Everyone wore red. A waiting list for season tickets was rumored to be 50,000 deep. The Chiefs home game experience -- with the parking lot tailgating and extraordinary noise at Arrowhead Stadium -- was overwhelming; Schottenheimer's teams almost never lost at home.
And then -- in 1995 and 1997, when the team was at its peak, 13-3 both years, best record in the conference both years, smashmouth Martyball both years, favored to reach the Super Bowl both years -- they lost heartbreakers in the playoffs. At home.
And now, he was gaining Schottenheimer Consciousness, beginning to realize that he might not be the hero of the story after all. Maybe he wasn't a championship coach. Maybe he was the guy who, in the end, could put together good teams but couldn't win it all. That punched a hole in his gut, and in 1998 -- in an effort to counteract the storyline -- he changed everything about the way he coached, he backed off his old-fashioned discipline, he renounced his conservative ways, he talked about getting yards in "chunks." He let his players express themselves in ways that would have made the old Schottenheimer lose his mind. On paper, it seemed sensible enough; you have to change and keep up with the times.
It wasn't sensible. The team melted down, utterly melted down, and when the season ended, Schottenheimer quit football to spend more time with his family.
He gave it a couple more tries, spending a year in Washington, then taking over a Chargers team that had become a fiasco. He did in San Diego what he had done so often before. He molded a great team. He led the Chargers to a 12-4 season. They promptly lost to the Jets in overtime. He led the Chargers to a 14-2 season, best record in football, LaDainian Tomlinson set the touchdown record, everything was lined up. And they lost to New England when one of their players didn't have the good sense to just go down after intercepting a pass.
And that was that. Schottenheimer was 63 years old, and that Patriots game was the last he would coach. He won 200 regular-season games, seventh all time, He's the only one of the top eight not in the Hall of Fame, and he probably won't get there, even though his 61% winning percentage is better than Tom Landry, Chuck Noll, Marv Levy and other Hall of Fame coaches. He was a great coach. But as his career went on, he came to realize that his story, fair or unfair, was exactly what he did not want it to become, the story of the coach who could not quite win when it mattered most.
Now, finally, we can talk about Clayton Kershaw.
Last week, Clayton Kershaw delivered what was, by game score, his best pitching start ever in the postseason. He was crazy efficient against Atlanta, jamming eight innings, two hits, three strikeouts and 85 pitches into a tight Dodgers' 3-0 victory. He was pulled from the game because starters don't finish games anymore, certainly not in the playoffs, but a surprising fact emerged afterward.
That was the first time that Kershaw had ever thrown more than seven innings in his 20 postseason starts.
That's just weird, right? True, starters don't throw complete games. True, the great task of the modern postseason is figuring out EXACTLY when your pitcher has lost effectiveness and to take him out two batters before that happens. But Clayton Kershaw, the pitcher of our generation, already one of a handful of the greatest pitchers in baseball history, had never pitched into the eighth inning of a playoff game? So weird.
That said, he'd had some interesting seven-inning outings before. One of them was impeccable, a two-hit suffocation of the Cubs at Wrigley Field in 2016. The others were very good. In Game 1 of the World Series last year, he struck out 11 and allowed a single run on an Alex Bregman homer. He struck out 12 Braves in Atlanta back in 2013. He gave up three hits and one run in New York against the Mets in 2015.
[caption id="attachment_23340" align="aligncenter" width="452"] The Dodgers are just 12-9 in Kershaw's postseason starts.[/caption]
He had a good six-inning start at Wrigley last year where the only run he allowed was a Kris Bryant homer. And then he had a couple of odd six-inning starts that look pretty good on paper but didn't turn out all that well in real life. He threw six innings without giving up an earned run against Atlanta in 2013, but he gave up two unearned runs by pitching sloppy baseball -- he gave up two hits and threw a wild pitch to make a mess of Adrian Gonzalez's error. The Dodgers came back to win that game late.
And he threw six innings without giving up an earned run against St. Louis. But again he gave up an unearned run that he sort of earned. He gave up a leadoff double to David Freese, who moved to third on a passed ball (that's what made it an unearned run). He then allowed the sacrifice fly. The Cardinals won that game 1-0.
Anyway, those seven starts before last week made up the good part of Clayton Kershaw's postseason work, and they're just not that good. They'd be good for mortals, yes, but for Clayton Kershaw? No. We who admire him try to play those games up -- see, Kershaw is sometimes Kershaw in the playoffs. The bad stuff is small sample size. It's bad luck. It's poor defense. It's bad managing. It's the quirky nature of the game. Just wait til his next outing.
But Schottenheimer Consciousness is slowly coming over us. This is a guy who has led the league in ERA the last five times he has thrown 175 innings in a season. This is a guy who has won three Cy Young Awards, finished second twice more, has led the league in wins (three times), WHIP (four times), strikeouts (three times), ERA+ (four times), shutouts (three times), complete games (two times), Fielding Independent Pitching (two times) and the complicated but very revealing Situational Wins Saved (six times). This is the legend, the modern day Koufax, the modern day Gibson, the modern day Grove ...
And even when he's been GOOD in the playoffs, he hasn't been all that good.
And then there are the bad times. There have been a staggering number of bad times. I was in Los Angeles, Game 1 of the 2014 Division Series, when Kershaw gave up a home run to the Cardinals' second batter, Randal Grichuk, but then settled down, retired the next 16 in a row. Yes, that's Kershaw, that's the force, but then he gave up a homer to Matt Carpenter with the Dodgers up 6-1. OK, fine, whatever.
The next inning, Clayton Kershaw got rocked like I've never seen a great pitcher get rocked. He gave up four hard-hit singles in a row. What the heck was happening? He struck out Pete Kozma. OK, he's back, but no, he gave up a single to Jon Jay. Another strikeout. Up came Matt Carpenter with the bases loaded. Kershaw gave up a rocket double that scored three runs; Kershaw was then mercifully pulled from the game (Pedro Baez came in to complete the farce by giving up a home run that smacked the loss on Kershaw's back).
People said that Kershaw was tipping his pitches. Maybe he was, but as others have pointed out, you don't have to tip hanging breaking balls and middle-middle fastballs. They get crushed no matter what.
There was the shocking World Series game last year against Houston, when Kershaw was staked to a four-run lead, blew it after giving up a three-run homer to Yuli Gurriel, was promptly staked to a three-run lead, which he helped give back by walking back-to-back hitters in the bottom of the inning before getting pulled. Kenta Maeda gave up a three-run homer -- it's true that Kershaw's teammates never seem to bail him out.
But why does Clayton Kershaw need to be bailed out so often?
He was, as mentioned, really good against the Cubs in Game 2 of the 2016 NL Championship Series; but you can't mention that without mentioning that he was blah in Game 6, when the Dodgers faced elimination. He gave up two in the first (one an unearned run but, again, kind of earned) and another one in the second and a home run in the fourth, and the Dodgers never stood a chance.
It's a staggering postseason life. The Dodgers are 207-109 in games that Kershaw has started in his regular-season career; they win two-thirds of the time that the guy pitches. From 2014 through 2017, those four seasons, they won 83 of the 108 games he started, that's 77% of his starts, more than three-quarters of the time.
In the playoffs, the Dodgers are 12-9 in his starts, 13-13 overall when he pitches, and here's the craziest part of all -- the later the series goes, the worse it gets.
Dodgers record in games when Kershaw starts:
Game 7: 0-0 (0-1 overall)
Game 6: 0-2
He's never started a Game 7 (he pitched well in relief in last year's lost World Series Game 7). He's 0-2 and had two un-Kershaw starts in Game 6. He was not good in one of his Game 5 starts.
Small sample sizes all, but ... well, we just saw Hamilton again on the National Tour. It was somehow as amazing an experience as the first time around, I'll tell you about that later, but Hamilton ends with those haunting words:
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story
On Friday night, Kershaw was awful. He was, as usual, hurt by his defense, particularly the defense of his catcher, Yasmani Grandal. But he was given a one-run lead, and he somehow allowed a bomb of a home run to a relief pitcher named Brandon Woodruff, and then he pitched uneven, unhappy baseball -- hits, walks -- he was pitching such haphazard baseball that the Dodgers had to get him out of there in the third inning.
And by now, he knows. He has achieved Schottenheimer Consciousness. This is his story. He's an all-time great regular-season pitcher. That phrase "all-time great regular-season pitcher" is as hurtful as it is complimentary. But he knows it now, and this is why it will be tough to change the story. He likely will never again take the mound in the playoffs without that history being in the foreground, all those postseason failures chasing him like something in a nightmare. If he has a great postseason outing, there will be the "Has Kershaw finally stared down his postseason demons?" question, and then if he has another great postseason outing, maybe the question will become more of a statement, and then if he has ANOTHER great postseason outing ...
But does he really have THREE great postseason outings in him? He's 30 now, his arm is older, he hasn't thrown 200 inning since 2015, his stuff isn't nearly as electric. And what is a great postseason outing anyway? Will six shutout innings really change Kershaw's story? How about seven? As good as Kershaw was against Atlanta last week, he only struck out three, and mostly just mesmerized a shellshocked young Braves team that was still trying to get its arms around the notion that they're actually good. After all, Hyun-Jin Ryu was even more dominant the day before.
Point is: I'm a Kershaw guy, and I don't want there to be a Schottenheimer anchor weighing down the memory of Clayton Kershaw's awesome career. But I didn't want it weighing down Marty's career, either. This is where we are. Kershaw's greatness doesn't transfer to October. Why? Many people are happy to guess. The rest of us hope that it turns, but more and more we realize that it probably won't.

Q: Input box that list values for a select box Can someone help me find a way when i type a text in an Input text (eg: cars ), and the name of cars (bmw, Chevrolet, etc..) is listed in a select box.
do some one have an idea or an example?

A: jQuery UI has an autocomplete module:
http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/

A: If you are familiar with jQuery and Ajax, this can be performed very simply. You watch the input of the text box and fire off an Ajax request once it reaches a stage you are happy with. The return of the Ajax query is them used to populate a drop down box.
Below is an example of this in practice. You'll need to either have jquery on your server, or reference a copy held within a CDN (such as Google). I've had to edit it a bit in order to protect the innocent, but with a couple of more lines it'll work fine.
The only item you'll need to figure out yourself, it by what means should Ajax be called and therefore your drop down list be populated. I've used it after so many characters, once a text pattern has been recognised, and as well as a hoover off event. The choice is yours.
JAVASCRIPT
<script language="JavaScript" src="./js.jquery.inc.js"></script>

Q: Try/Catch Blocks and Following Statements I'm having some issues with my code below. In this program, I input the description, units, and price of an item. I made two custom exception classes for the possibility of the user inputting a negative number. When I run the program, the catch statements do work, but what I find weird is that the statements after the catch block still execute as well. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the program not supposed to execute statements after the catch statement if there is an exception? I was under the impression that the only way to do that was to use a finally block. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  import java.util.Scanner;

public class RetailItemDemo
{
    public static void main (String[] args)
    {
        Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
        RetailItem item = new RetailItem();

    System.out.print("Item description: ");
    item.setDescription(keyboard.nextLine());

    try
    {
        System.out.print("Units on hand: ");
        item.setUnitsOnHand(keyboard.nextInt());

        System.out.print("Item price: ");
        item.setPrice(keyboard.nextDouble());
    }

    catch (NegativeUnitsException nue)
    {
        System.out.println(nue);
    }

    catch (NegativePriceException npe)
    {
        System.out.println(npe);
    }

    System.out.println("\nThe item is a  " + item.getDescription());
    System.out.println("There are " + item.getUnitsOnHand() + " units on hand");
    System.out.println("The item price is " + item.getPrice() + "\n");
 }
}

A:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the program not supposed to execute
  statements after the catch statement if there is an exception? I was
  under the impression that the only way to do that was to use a finally
  block.

I'm afraid you are wrong. The point of try-catch is that we execute some code in the try that might fail. If an exception is thrown, then we handle the failure in the catch block, then carry on as normal (rather than propagating the exception to a higher level, possibly exiting the entire program), executing any further code after the catch block.
Code in a finally block is executed regardless of whether an exception is thrown. This is used for closing resources (such as open files) that need to be cleaned up whatever happens.
If you want to skip everything after the exception is thrown, then there is no point handling the exception with try-catch. You would be better off handling the exception at a higher level (though in your example you are already at the top level i.e. main).

A: When a method throws an exception inside a try block it skips all the other methods in the try block, executes the catch block and then resumes from the next line after the catch block.
To prevent this, add a System.exit(0); to the catch block
If you also have a finally block, it gets executed even if you close the program in the catch block.

A: Java uses the termination model of exception handling which basically behaves as you experienced it:

further processing in that method is terminated and control is
  transferred to the nearest exception handler that can handle the type
  of exception encountered
  from here: http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=464630&seqNum=4.

When the exception handler (catch block) finishes processing the execution continuous at the first line of code after the try/catch block.
In the resumption model of exception handling, after the exception is handled the flow returns at the place which the exception was thrown and the program continuous from there.

A: Use System.exit(0); within the catch block.

Early edition, including the "Prince"
Machiavelli, Niccolò. Tutte le opere.
No place (Geneva?), "1550" [but c. 1635].
4to. 5 parts in one volume. 8, 320, (4), 106 pp., (1 blank f.), (16), 280, 152, 158 pp. With 5 repeated title vignettes (woodcut portraits) and double-page-sized woodcut in the text. Contemporary vellum with ms. spine title. Edges sprinkled.
Early collected edition of Machiavelli's works, including his famous "Principe", the work with which he "founded the science of modern politics" by analysing Cesare Borgia's much-admired "mixture of audacity and prudence, cruelty and fraud, self-reliance and distrust of others" (PMM). This is the so-called "testina" edition, named after the author's woodcut portrait on all the half-titles. It is this very reliable redaction which is used by all quotations of the "Crusca". Five variant editions are known, all bearing the fictitious year of printing "1550" on the title page, through which the (most likely) Swiss publishers intended to circumvent the Papal prohibition. The present variant is usually regarded as the fourth (Bertelli/I.: "Databile al 1635-46"). Contains: 1) "Delle historie fiorentine"; 2) "Il Principe"; 3) "Discorsi"; 4) "Dell'Arte della Guerra"; 5) "L'Asino d'Oro" and other works.
Variously browned throughout due to paper (as common). From the library of Georg Philipp Helberg, secretary to the Electoral church council in Heidelberg and a member of the enlightened secret society "Deutsche Union" (his autograph ink ownership, dated 1787, on the title page).

Eduardo Chivambo Mondlane (Manjacaze, África Oriental Portuguesa, 20 de junio de 1920-Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, 23 de febrero de 1969) fue un sociólogo, antropólogo y presidente del Frente de Liberación de Mozambique desde 1962 hasta su asesinato en 1969.

Educación

Era el cuarto de 16 hermanos, hijo de un jefe tribal, de la tribu bantú de los tsonga. Mondlane nació en el África Oriental portuguesa en 1920. Hasta los doce años trabajo cuidando rebaños de cabras. Asistió a varias escuelas primarias antes de entrar en una escuela suizo-presbiteriana. Se le prohibió asistir a la escuela secundaria en Mozambique ya que en esa época estaba acabando la escuela primaria y las leyes coloniales portuguesas indicaban que era demasiado mayor para entrar.

Este hecho y otros le mostraron lo que significaba vivir en una sociedad oprimida. Como no podía estudiar en Mozambique se marchó a Sudáfrica, donde estudió en una escuela parroquial en Lemana, en al región de Transvaal. Pasó un año en la escuela Jan Hofmeyer de Trabajo Social e ingresó en la Universidad Witwatersrand, en Johannesburgo, pero fue expulsado del país un año después, en 1949, cuando se instauró el Apartheid.

Mondlane se trasladó a Estados Unidos para continuar sus estudios. En 1951 ingresó en el Oberlin College, en Oberlin, Ohio, empezando como júnior. En 1953 obtuvo el graduado en antropología y sociología. Continuó sus estudios en la Universidad de Northwestern en Evanston, Illinois. Mondlane obtuvo un doctorado en sociología de la Universidad de Northwestern y se casó con Janet Rae Johnson, una mujer de Indiana que vivía en los suburbios de Chicago.

Regreso a Mozambique
En 1962 fue elegido presidente del recién formado Frente de Liberación de Mozambique o FRELIMO, que estaba formado por grupos nacionalistas más pequeños. En 1963 estableció la sede del FRELIMO fuera de Mozambique, en Dar es Salaam, en la vecina Tanzania. Con el apoyo tanto de las potencias occidentales como de la URSS, el FRELIMO empezó en 1964 una guerra de guerrillas para intentar obtener la independencia mozambiqueña de Portugal que desembocaría en la Guerra de Independencia de Mozambique.

Durante los primeros años del FRELIMO su liderato estaba dividido: la facción encabezada por Mondlane quería luchar no solo por la independencia, sino para instaurar un régimen socialista; Marcelino dos Santos, Samora Machel y Joaquim Alberto Chissano y la mayor parte del Comité Central del Partido compartían su punto de vista. Sus oponentes, entre los que destacaban Lazaro Nkavandame y Uria Simango, deseaban la independencia, pero no un cambio fundamental en las relaciones sociales: esencialmente la sustitución de la élite blanca por una élite negra. La posición socialista fue aprovechada por el segundo congreso del partido, celebrado en julio de 1968. Mondlane fue reelegido presidente y se estableció la estrategia de seguir una guerra prolongada con el apoyo de la población civil.

En 1969 recibió un libro-bomba en el secretariado del FRELIMO que lo mató. Después de que en los años 1990 se descubiera la existencia del Gladio, se averiguó que una sección portuguesa del Gladio había sido la causante del asesinato de Mondlane.

A principios de los años 1970 los 7000 guerrilleros del FRELIMO habían tomado el control de la mayor parte de las regiones centrales y del norte del país a pesar de estar combatiendo contra unas fuerzas portuguesas de unos 60.000 hombres. En 1974 la caída de la dictadura de Salazar en Portugal trajo un cambio en la política colonial el 25 de junio de 1975, cuando Portugal traspasó el poder al FRELIMO y Mozambique se convirtió en estado independiente.

La muerte de Mondlane en 1969 fue sentida como si de un funeral de estado se tratara. El funeral fue oficiado por su compañero de clase en Oberlin y amigo, el reverendo Edward Hawley, quien dijo durante las ceremonias que Mondlane "...dejó su vida por la verdad de que un hombre ha sido hecho para la dignidad y su autodeterminación."

En 1975 la Universidad Lourenço Marques, que recibía el nombre de la capital colonial, Lourenço Marques, fue rebautizada como Universidad Eduardo Mondlane, ubicada en la capital Maputo.

International students treated to a little slice of England as they're welcomed to DMU
Hundreds of students from around the globe were treated to their own little slice of the English countryside as they arrived at De Montfort University Leicester (DMU) this week.
The Venue@DMU was transformed into an idyllic country scene complete with picnic tables covered in gingham tablecloths, fabric bunting, strings of lights, trees and the sound of birdsong to mark the start of International Welcome Week.
The students, who had jetted in from all corners of the globe over the weekend, then had picnic hampers delivered to their tables full of treats such as sandwiches, sausage rolls, scones, carrot cake and lemon curd-filled shortbread.
Thousands of international students arrive at DMU each summer to start their studies and the university organises a week of activities to welcome them in their new surroundings including social events, tours of the city, a day trip to Shakespeare country and advice sessions covering everything from registering with a doctor to opening a bank account.
They then join with the rest of the new starters for Freshers' Week which kicks-off this year on September 22.
Sarah Badibanga and Ida Nyang arrived in Leicester from Norway on Sunday and are looking forward to the start of term. They met up on DMU's Facebook page a few weeks earlier.
Sarah, who is studying Software Engineering, said: "I had heard about Leicester and how good DMU was so I wanted to come here for sure. I arrived yesterday so I have not had the chance to see too much yet, but I'm really looking forward to Freshers' Week."
Ida, who is studying Fashion Buying and Marketing, added: "I'm looking forward to Freshers' of course but I am also looking forward to starting the course, getting to know the city and making new friends."
Catherine Cheng, from Liaoning, China, is spending the next two years studying Business Management and Law.
She said: "I like Leicester. I need to buy lots of things for our house and Wilko was the first place I went to! What do I think so far? I think the cakes in England are delicious."
Her friend from Liaoning, Jazmine Shi, who is on the same course, said laughing: "There are so many other Chinese here! But there are lots of other people from all over the world too. I think Leicester is a really good place to live.
"I know the course is going to be a lot of hard work but I really want to get a first."
Ike Mwithiga, from Nairobi, Kenya, is studying Architecture for the next three years. He said: "I like Leicester because it is not predominantly white and not predominantly Asian. It is a perfect balance. I have done a bit of exploring and I think I will feel at home for the next three years.
"I am studying Architecture and I want to explore the cultural influences on building design and I am interested in how it is implemented in Leicester. The city is good because it is not all modern and it is not all old so it has the perfect mix of buildings to study."
Mia Lappalainen, from Finland, is studying Contour Fashion. She said: "They do not offer a course like this in Finland and I have come to Leicester because I think there are so many more opportunities for me here. Finland is so tiny.
"I have heard that the course is a lot of hard work but when I was at school I studied for 12 hours a day so I am used to it."
Serena Strok, from Amsterdam in The Netherlands, is looking forward to starting her Arts and Festivals Management course. She said: "I've always wanted to come to the UK and the campus here is lovely. When I get my degree I either want to organise my own festival or become a wedding planner."
Ranice Mah, from Malaysia, is studying Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Science. She said: "I must admit it is a bit confusing at the moment as I only arrived on Saturday - and it is quite cold. It was about 30-plus degrees in Malaysia. Leicester is a lot cheaper than I expected. I am looking forward to joining societies and meeting lots of new friends."

Phillip has bonding done to his upper front teeth years ago. Through time, as the bonding chipped and stained he repaired them. Because the bonding was originally placed long ago, the borders were rough and causing moderate/severe gingivitis. Phillip upgraded his smile with 12 porcelain veneers. Now his smile looks picture perfect and his gums are healthy.

  public int Id { get; set; }

  public string Name { get; set; }

  public string PhotoEncoded { get; set; }

  public string Description { get; set; }

  public void AddPhoto(byte[] content, string fileFormat)
  {
    PhotoEncoded = string.Format("data:image/{0};base64,{1}",
      fileFormat.Substring(1,fileFormat.Length-1),
      Convert.ToBase64String(content)
    );
  }
}

But i want to send only url. The problem is that I don't know how to make a file available via url. How do I do that in ASP.NET Core?

A: I finally figured it out! You just have to make a ContentController which will serve individual files and use File() method in ControllerBase:
[ApiController]
[Route("[controller]")]
public class ContentController : ControllerBase
{
   [HttpGet("project/{id}/{fileName}")]
   public async Task<IActionResult> GetProjectThumbnail(int id, string fileName)
   {
       try
       {
           return File(await _projects.GetThumbnailAsync(id, fileName), "image/jpeg");
       }
       catch (Exception ex)
       {
           return StatusCode((int)HttpStatusCode.InternalServerError, new ErrorResponse(ex));
       }
   }
   //...
}

After that, I can access a thumbnail via url: https://efolio.com/content/project/1003/1.jpg


Traveling, further exploring the USA and enjoying with their host families ... This is the way our 5 th Primary School students spent their Fall Break holidays.
All of them took part in very exciting and interesting activities such as visiting Colorado, Missouri, Arkansas, Chicago and the Grand Canyon. However, others stayed and visited the area nearby.
One of the most successful destinations has been "Silver Dollar City", an amusement park located in the State of Missouri. Not only did they enjoy different rides, as the roller coasters, The Power Cake and Thunderation, but they also tried typical food and watched shows.
Another top destination was Colorado, where they enjoyed both picturesque landscapes, and the first snowfall this year.
In addition, after enjoying their time during the holidays and the hard back to school, our students visited the "Gilcrease Museum" and learnt a bit more about the history of Native Americans. Really exciting!
En resumen, todos los niños están tendiendo una experiencia increíble que recordarán el resto de sus vidas.
