There are many stringed instruments, but the cello and violin are two of the most easily identifiable. The violin is more famous than the cello. The cello is played differently than the violin. The cello is played sitting down and between your knees. You hold the bow differently when playing the cello and a violin.
Find out what makes a cello different from a violin in this article.
Cello Vs. Violin
The main differences between cellos and violins are their size, how they are played, and the sound they make.
There are several more distinctions. In the following sections, we'll cover each of these in detail.
1. Size Difference
Violins and cellos come in different sizes. So that learners of all levels and professional musicians can use them. There is a full size, 7/8th size, 3/4th size, half size, and even smaller versions for very young learners. Remember that these fractional sizes are not an exact measurement of the instruments. They are just a way to show the approximate differences in sizing between the violins and cellos.
Full-sized Violin
A full-sized violin is about 23 inches tall from the endpin to the scroll. This measurement may vary depending on the age and maker of the violin.
Full-sized Cello
A full-sized cello is about 47.6 inches long from the base to the scroll.
A cello is twice the height of a regular violin. It is because the cello has a longer endpin that makes it taller.
The cello is wider and has a fuller body than the violin. Both instruments have similar-looking bodies, which act as chambers to make sound echo.
2. Weight Difference
A standard violin weighs approximately 0.88 pounds, the same as an iPad Air. On the other hand, a traditional cello can consider more than or around five pounds, about the same as a standard-sized bag of flour in the United States.
3. Material Used
Cellos and violins are usually made of a mix of different types of hardwood.
Factors Influencing the Type of Material Employed
The materials used to make each instrument are determined by a variety of criteria, including the following:
A luthier is a person who makes stringed instruments. Antonio Stradivari is one of the most famous luthiers in history.
He and other luthiers use their woodwork skills to make strong instruments that look good and are strong. Most importantly, the instruments sound great.
Maple and Spruce
Many luthiers prefer to use a combination of maple and spruce when constructing a violin. Maple is used for the violin's neck, ribs, and scroll.
Ebony, Ivory, and Willow
The fingerboards on modern violins are made of ebony by luthiers. Ivory fingerboards are found on older violins. Spruce or willow wood is used for the sounding chamber and face panel.
Cellos are often made with similar hardwood combinations, but ebony or maple are mainly used for the back and sides.
Laminated Wood or Composite Board
Laminated wood and composite board are used to make cheaper stringed instruments. Remember that the sound quality of mass-produced cellos or violins is usually not as good as expensive instruments because of the more affordable materials.
4. String Gauge and Length
A cello's strings are much longer than a violin's. The diameter of cello strings is also bigger. Cello strings are also thicker in diameter. Violin strings are much thinner and shorter and are strung under more tension, which causes them to have a higher pitch.
It is worth mentioning that cello strings are also under tension, although they are thicker and longer than violin strings. When compared to their thinner counterparts, the thicker strings make sounds with a lower frequency.
5. String Tuning Differences
To better comprehend their similarities and differences, you must attempt to master each instrument. The C string on a cello is an octave lower than the G string on a violin.
6. Violin vs. Cello – Bow
Both violins and cellos have bows that look a lot alike. Both are made of tropical hardwood, which usually comes from Brazil. You could also use carbon fiber or a composite.
Some musicians use black horsehair for their bows because it has a coarser feel and better grip against the strings. Horsehair, preferably white, is used for the bow's actual hair.
One difference between a cello and violin bows is the length. The cello bow is shorter than the violin bow and has a larger surface area of horsehair.
You need a wider surface of horsehair on bigger strings. Cellos have a more significant gap between the wooden stick and horsehair, so they can be more sturdy when you play them.
The violin bow is thinner and longer than the cello bow. There is also less space on the violin bow between the wood stick and the horsehair. There may be differences in how each bow is made, but both bows are used similarly to create the sound a musician wants.
7. Playing Position
The cello is played while sitting down, whereas the violin can be played in different positions.
The instrument must be held between the musician's legs. The strings will have an outward orientation. The neck and scroll will be positioned on the shoulder of the musician's dominant hand. The instrument's body will rest against the upper body of the musician.
It is necessary to play the cello bow from the side. It must be held in a horizontal position and pulled across the strings. It will provide the desired noise.
Most cello artists play the instrument while sitting down. It is more comfortable and customary. On the other hand, some modern artists and street musicians may play the cello standing up for better showmanship or if the performance calls for it.
The violin has a more versatile playing style because it can be played while standing or sitting. The violin will be on your shoulder, and the strings will face up. You need to hold it in place with your chin or jawbone.
Some modern classical players use a shoulder rest to lift the instrument higher. The instrument might also have a chin rest to keep it from moving.
The violin must be held between your chin and shoulder so it does not move. It may initially feel strange, but it will become more natural with time and practice.
8. Compositional Requirements
Violin, viola, cello, and double bass are four-stringed instruments. The violin has the highest pitch and is regarded as a soprano instrument. The lowest-pitched instrument is the cello, which is classed as a tenor. The viola falls in between the two with an alto classification.
A cello can be used in a string quartet, but it will usually take the bass or alto role because of its flexible range.
Because polyphonic music has different needs, the rules for writing music have changed. Luthiers construct instruments with the inherent musical scale in mind.
9.Transportation
The portability of a violin may be an issue, considering its size and weight. A violin can fit snugly inside a hard case and can be transported in virtually any mode of transportation. This option is more manageable, even for a child.
Cellos are bulkier than guitars. They need a safe way to be transported. But with modern technology, they can be transported like guitars- over the back.
However, navigating crowded public transport areas, tight spaces, or subway stations with stairs may be challenging while carrying a bulky cello.
Cellos and violins are both string instruments but are different in size. The average person can distinguish between the two based on their relative sizes.
Cellos and violins are both played similarly, but they sound different once they are played. To better comprehend their similarities and differences, you must attempt to master each instrument.

Frequently Asked Questions About Violin vs. Cello
Is It Easier To Play Violin or Cello?
People who have tried both the violin and cello say that the cello is less difficult. It is because the cello is in a more natural position. The violin's Position can initially feel unnatural, but accomplished violinists assert that it becomes natural with practice.
Is the Cello or Violin Better?
The sound of the violin is higher than the cello. The violin can get squeaky when playing in 7th and 8th Positions. You might even have to play in a higher position if you get more advanced. The cello has a deeper and richer sound. Music is written and read in bass clef when it is for cellos.
Why Are Violins Better Than Cellos?
The violin is a practical choice because it is less expensive than the cello, smaller, and more portable. Additionally, many appreciate the violin's range and tone, similar to the human voice.
Is Cello the Hardest Instrument?
Cello is one of the most challenging instruments to learn. It requires much practice and commitment to learn how to play.

Q: Changing the selected Vaadin tab on the client side In order to simplify (and make 'prettier') navigation in a site I am buildilng, I am making a Silverlight component which will allow users to change the selected tab in a Tabsheet.  I noticed an option for hiding the tabs of a tabsheet (tabsheetName.hideTabs()).
Is there a way to change the selected tab using Javascript?  If so, my Silverlight navigation component can execute the Javascript.
The only other thing I can think of is to write a custom GWT component.  The Vaadin manual explains how to do this but it does not look trivial.
Thanks.

A: You could try creating a generated mouse click event using JS and firing that on the tab element.
You'll of course need the reference to the correct DOM element, but using a debugId for the TabSheet should make it possible.

We are still digesting the series of summitry that took place in the past few months between North Korea, the United States, and South Korea.
We rightly recognize the historic nature of the president of the United States meeting with the North Korean leader. But more than 50 years ago, there was another meeting between big personalities over the issue of Korea that was just as historic but is all but forgotten today. And while the international environment has changed drastically since, the lessons that the meeting offers to summit goers today is critical.
Our guest today, KEI Vice President Mark Tokola, has just written an essay on this event using declassified state department documents.

Chicago Red Stars Trade International Spot For Draft Picks
CHICAGO, Ill. (June 23, 2015) – The Chicago Red Stars announced today that they completed a trade with the Washington Spirit. Chicago traded one of their international player spots for the remainder of the 2015 season and the 2016 season in exchange for Washington's second and third round picks in the 2016 National Women's Soccer League College Draft.
This is a favorable trade for Chicago, as they have been a draft savvy team for many years now. The Red Stars selected Julie Johnston in 2014, who went on to win NWSL rookie of the year in her first season and is currently a defender for the U.S. Women's National Team in the FIFA Women's World Cup. In the 2015 draft Sofia Huerta was selected, and she has already had a tremendous impact on the team. Huerta was the first NWSL player to ever win back-to-back Player of the Week awards; she also won Player of the Month for May 2015.
Chicago Red Stars, founded in 2007, are one of nine professional clubs in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). The team boasts players from the U.S. and Canadian Women's National Teams, in addition to some of the top international players from around the world. For more information on the Red Stars and to purchase tickets, please visit the team's official website.

2021 outlook strong, but COVID-19 a wildcard
Wealth industry set for rapid growth in 2021: APIR
Active strategy driving strong small caps returns
MEDIA RELEASE: Developments in the United States with Biden's presidency, and the status of the COVID-19 vaccine globally, will have a key influence on markets in 2021, and there is quiet optimism with long term investment themes and insights remaining intact, according to Bennelong boutiques Kardinia Capital, 4D Infrastructure and Quay Global Investors.
Kardinia Capital portfolio manager, Kristiaan Rehder says he is optimistic on the outlook for the Australian market, with a few provisos.
"As we know markets don't move in a straight line and there are a number of things we are keeping our eyes on.
"First are events in the US following the presidential election. In the lead-up to the election there was a huge amount of uncertainty which saw money come out of the market. This was more due to the desire for a clear outcome, rather than views on who would win the election. While the incumbent is still challenging the election outcome, markets have looked through this and we are seeing a lot of cash coming back into the market.
"A significant development has been US President elect Joe Biden's announcement of his COVID-19 advisory panel. Several of the members are already talking quite openly about the potential for state by state lockdowns, which is a risk factor for markets to consider.
"Secondly we are watching investor sentiment which is currently elevated. History has shown us that when sentiment is high, it's a good time to take a more cautious stance.
"Third is the vaccine development. The recent announcements on this front have clearly been great news but we are keeping in mind the huge effort that will need to be made from a manufacturing and logistical supply chain viewpoint, before any vaccine will have an impact. It will take time."
But he says jurisdictional responses to the unprecedented economic impact of COVID-19 have been strong.
"Central bank support including QE will certainly underpin markets going forward.
"We are also starting to see markets and companies open up. Despite the issues in Europe with a second or even third wave, countries such as Germany are using a much more targeted approach than they did during the first phase of the pandemic. There is increasing momentum to open up, and this will continue to provide a tail wind for stocks locally that will benefit such as Qantas, Flight Centre and Star Entertainment."
4D Infrastructure's Sarah Shaw remains positive on the opportunity for global listed infrastructure in 2021 and beyond. "While the pandemic will likely prevail longer than was hoped, we believe the global economy will ultimately emerge stronger for the experience. The pace of recovery was always going to be dependent on the policies undertaken during the crisis. Fortunately, the economic response from governments and central banks around the world has been massive and continues to grow and this is supportive of a recovery.
"The huge amount of fiscal and monetary stimulus is still to be fully felt in economic terms with a big chunk of that spending focussed on badly needed infrastructure investment around the globe, including the energy transition. In fact, once we move past the worst impacts of the virus and the world's economy returns to a more stable environment, infrastructure, in all its forms, will be essential to the global economic recovery and returning society to a 'new normal'.
"We believe that there is no global growth recovery without roads, railways, pipelines, power transmission networks, communication infrastructure, ports and airports".
In the meantime, she says, infrastructure can be positioned to capitalise on the prevailing environment.
"Infrastructure has two distinct and economically diverse sub-sectors – User Pays and Essential Services (or utilities). Active management of these two sub sectors allows you to position an infrastructure portfolio for all stages of the macro and market cycle. Essential Services are a fundamental safe haven in weak economic environments (2020) while User Pay assets are correlated to growth with an inflation hedge (the recovery)."
Looking beyond COVID-19 she says the long-term infrastructure growth thematic remains intact and has actually been enhanced by COVID-19.
"Quite separately to the COVID-19 response, replacement spend, population growth, environmental considerations, and demographic trends (especially the emergence of the middle class in emerging markets) will all drive infrastructure spend over coming decades.
"COVID-19 has not changed this but rather has enhanced the opportunity – government stimulus programs are fast-tracking infrastructure investment, increasingly stretched government balance sheets will see a greater reliance on private sector capital, and a currently low interest rate environment is supportive of infrastructure investment and valuations.
"But for equities to continue to rally we need to see a COVID-19 vaccine approved and effectively deployed around the world. This remains a risk to equity market recovery. Another risk is that governments and central banks prematurely take their feet off the 'Go' peddle before the global economy has the opportunity to properly get back on its feet.
"Regardless, significant value has emerged across the infrastructure universe. The COVID-19 'event' will, we believe, prove to be a huge buying opportunity sector wide and the market will recover strongly once contained."
Chris Bedingfield from Quay Global Investors says that while listed real estate had been particularly negatively affected by the COVID-19 outbreak and by lockdowns, there are already signs that the headwinds are being reversed.
"Real estate companies were impacted not just by the lockdowns but also by being asked by governments to shoulder some of the burden of the economic impact, for instance by cutting rents to affected businesses.
"A successful vaccine should help to reverse some of these headwinds, and we are already starting to see this priced in to some sectors.
"In addition, there have been some winners during 2020 from the lockdown, such as data centres, self-storage and industrial property and single family homes, although some of these sectors aren't as common in Australia.
"Our view is that the real estate sector is under-priced and that there will be good opportunities in 2021.
He also flags the importance of the monetary and fiscal stimulus program efforts from the government and central banks.
"This is providing a permanent repairing of household balance sheets which will reverberate long beyond 2020. Effectively the stimulus packages are setting up consumers for the next few years.
"We are already seeing the effect of this in house prices, which have been holding up extremely well, not just in Australia but also in the US and UK. We will also see this flow through to the retail sector."

New Drivers Forced to Take a Children's Hospital Designed "Virtual Driver Assessment" Program
Civil Liberties / Law Enforcement / Travel and Transportation
What business does a children's hospital have in deciding who gets to drive a vehicle? Apparently a lot.
Last month The Center Square revealed that the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and their spinoff company Diagnostic Driving are convincing DMV's to get new drivers to take a virtual driver assessment before they take an on-road licensing exam.
"This program allows for assessing new license applicants' driving skills in conditions associated with common serious crash scenarios, Suzanne Hill, the program director for the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) Research Institute, told The Center Square in an email. The Ohio Department of Public Safety (DPS) teamed up with the hospital to create the program."
Ohio's DPS is forcing new drivers to take CHOP's mandatory virtual driver assessment program.
"The state will install 400 virtual driving assessment systems throughout the state as part of Gov. Mike DeWine's Ready, Test, Drive! program. All 57 driver examination locations will be equipped with the systems as will many driver training schools. According to a study by the CHOP, these programs are an effective way to predict which drivers lacked the skills to pass an on-road examination."
As The Center Square noted, "all prospective drivers will have to take the virtual driving assessment before completing the on-road examination."
Virtual driving assessments will follow new drivers regardless of age
"The virtual driving assessments will not replace on-the-road examinations (ORE), but all prospective new drivers, regardless of age or training experience, will be asked to conduct a virtual driving assessment immediately prior to their in-car driving test. Feedback from the assessment will then be provided after the ORE – regardless of the ORE's outcome – outlining skills needing improvement, such as maintaining a safe distance between vehicles, changing lanes properly, or merging safely into traffic."
Ohio's virtual driver assessment program is about creating "feedback" or a database on every new driver.
How can Ohio force new drivers to take a virtual assessment program based on a single study done by the very company that created it?CHOP's for-profit "Virtual Skills Assessment" (VSA) program smacks of real-time surveillance and predictive policing of new drivers.
"Simulation software allows for safe and reproducible exposure to the most common serious crash scenarios and real-time measurement of performance. The first application of this software in Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles (OBMV)'s licensing centers demonstrated its ability to predict ORE performance, as well as its practical implementation in state licensing center workflows."
Conducting virtual drivers tests of new drivers and predicting how they will drive in the future could be used to raise driver's insurance premiums before they ever get behind the wheel. It could also be used in determining how much of a fine they might get for speeding in the future.
The Highland County Press warns that the Ohio DMV will use Virtual Skill Assessment scores to track future accidents and moving violations.
"In addition, Ohio – Ready, Test, Drive! will use non-identifying driver data from the virtual driving assessments combined with drivers' future crash and citation information to identify weaknesses in Ohio's overall driver training curriculum. Examining new drivers' pre- and post-licensure driving trends will allow Ohio to make data-driven enhancements to the statewide training curriculum to better prepare future drivers."
Is this is a portend of what is to come? How long will it be before virtual driving assessments teach new drivers how to interact with law enforcement?
For the past few years states like, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Maine and Texas have been teaching motorists and students how to talk to law enforcement.
In Texas, high schoolers have to pass a "Flashing Lights" curriculum that gives drivers a set of behavioral expectations of interactions with law enforcement!
Imagine being refused a drivers license because you failed to pass the behavioral expectations of interactions with law enforcement section.
Forcing new drivers to pass virtual driving assessment programs or how to interact with law enforcement takes what is left of our freedoms and crushes them.

'The Lucy Show': Parley Baer Often Guest-Starred on Two of Lucille Ball's TV Shows

Parley Baer, the actor best know for playing Mayor Roy Stoner on "The Andy Griffith Show," had a career that spanned more than five decades. During that time, he was a go-to choice for roles that required someone who projected authority. As a result of his prowess in this area, he made multiple appearances on two different Lucille Ball television shows, "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy."
Baer's characters ranged from doctors to senators, but they almost always had him playing an authority figure.
"The Lucy Show" ran from 1962-1968, and throughout that time, Parley Baer appeared in five episodes. He played a different character in most of them, showing up as both a judge and a colonel over the years.
In "Here's Lucy," running from 1968-1974, Baer made two appearances. Both times he played the character of Dr. Cunningham.
Parley Baer's 'The Lucy Show' and 'Here's Lucy' Episodes
In an episode of "The Lucy Show" titled "Lucy, the Meter Maid" from 1964, Parley Baer shows up as the judge. In the episode, Lucy works as a meter maid and lets the power get to her head. She eventually writes Vivian up for a bunch of traffic violations, which Vivian then contests in court. Baer's judge is quickly fed up with Lucy's behavior.
"Well, perhaps some of these charges have been provoked… and exaggerated!" says Parley Baer's judge character during the episode.
In an episode of "Here's Lucy" titled "Lucy's Vacation" from 1971, Lucy wants to go on vacation to Palm Springs. Unfortunately, she has used up all of her time off, and the only way she can go is if she gets fired. She tries to figure out ways to get Harry to fire her, but he simply won't. Why? Because Parley Baer's character, Dr. Cunningham, has advised Harry to treat her nicely.
In another one titled "Lucy's Bonus Bounces" from 1971, Baer's Dr. Cunningham once again gives Harry advice. This time, he advises Harry to give Lucy a raise. Lucy doesn't understand why she's being given the raise, and a cycle of paranoia ensues.
Baer's guest appearances on "The Lucy Show" and "Here's Lucy" marked a small stretch of his lengthy career, but they were indicative of the types of characters he most often played.

If you liked Whiplash back in 2014, you would want to put a ring on La La Land. Director Damien Chazelle, who has a knack for framing tune-and-beat-crazed young talents at his focus, continued to write about how the path leading to prestige and musical fulfillment is capable of such devastating consequences to insiders. By the way, let us congratulate this 32-year-old genius on his own Oscar.
The two movies, if put together for comparison, should not be primarily considered with any similarities in outbursts of built-up tension, or the like. Instead, we are bound to contemplate on what people, under given circumstances, are forced to sacrifice during the journey into maturity and stability (if there is actually any of the latter). In Whiplash, Fletcher gave up his humanity and became a sadistic, foul-mouthed instructor in the hope of pushing his students towards true greatness. The main character, Andy Neiman, then gradually crawls back into seclusion after a series of tantrum-throwing, followed suit by a robotic breakup with his girlfriend. The purpose is to prove Neiman's passion for drumming and that his growth and achievement, despite the obvious indication of luck and any negativity shed by Fletcher, is worthy of recognition.
And here, Mia and Sebastian are driven apart by their individual endgame. They are not selfish and narcissistic; the tragedy here is the desire to actualize their own definition of success is forcefully crushing. Unknowingly, the couple was set for a collision course since day one.
La La Land, as a whole, resonates with its target audience. As a matter of fact, if you don't find any harmony in the movie's jazz music, Technicolor's 60s vibrant tones, old-school musical camera work, and themes of inspiration, aspiration, hope, compromise, desperation, and disappointment, there is a high chance you won't get ahold of its storyline.
La La Land is not a love story –in a technical sense at least (story is not the same as plot). It is a musical dramedy revolving around passionate individuals of youth and ambition, and the romantic relationship we witnessed only serves as another deeply memorable episode next to many side adventures. Within this purview, the love between Mia and Sebastian further explores an overarching cinematic theme: things that we are willing to pay on the path to personal success. Still, a lot of backlashes have been coming from the body of audience who tend to project their rose-colored expectation unto everything in sight.
This attitude stemmed from the modern view on Romanticism. Initiated back in the middle 1700s as an artistic movement that encouraged people to live in accordance with nature, intuition, and sentiment, Romanticism gradually filled itself into pop culture. In fact, it is quite hard to separate Romanticism from any of the famous stories we have grown to love, even sci-fi classics like Star Wars. It arrives at a common and pure idea to embrace the beauty of nature, admire heroic acts, and yield to surges of emotion. However, there is another toxic aspect of this idealism, which has been unconsciously taken advantage by conventional romcoms. It is the willingness to give up on everything in life just to have a family with the person you think you love at that moment (after spending months getting cozy with only the positive side of their characteristics).
Modern romantics get fixated on this kind of storytelling and could not care less for the characters' rationality; sometimes, they are not even aware of rationality at all. The story of Mia and Sebastian seem to fall into this category of usual romcoms for them, so some might have expected the couple to mope around after the fallout of their relationship, only to reunite after one person makes the first move. Actually, Sebastian does, but the rest of their relationship still works out on its almost perfect balance of reasoning and romance. That is why they say they are always gonna love each other. After all, this love is of intimate admiration; Mia would not love Sebastian if she did not look up to his musical enthusiasm, and vice versa (with Mia's love for acting). Adoring each other, they walk abreast on their briefly shared path with enduring compassion and respect.
Set in the wryly cruel flamboyance of Los Angeles' "dream land", the movie talks about the aspiring, talented youngsters, who always strive and thrive from the bottom of the food chain. They engage in that struggle on a daily basis (as in the fantastical opening) and end up making apparently necessary (but not necessarily proper) decisions. They are us. The stories are relatable – that is how Chazelle made it tick.
In John Wick: Chapter Two, the consistencies in tone and style have been applied to a shift in storytelling, as we see John demonstrates better skills against a more deadly and intimidating force of evil.

'El Chapo' paid ex-Mexican president $100 m bribe:trial witness
World Americas
The allegations are among the most explosive to emerge from Guzman's trial in US

El Chapo a scapegoat, lawyer tells New York jury
'El Chapo' paid ex-Mexican president $100 mln bribe -trial wit-ness
Accused Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman once paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, an ex-Guzman associate testified on Tuesday that he previously told U.S. authorities.
Alex Cifuentes, who has described himself as Guzman's onetime right-hand man, discussed the alleged bribe under cross-examination by Jeffrey Lichtman, one of Guzman's lawyers, in Brooklyn federal court. Asked if he told authorities in 2016 that Guzman arranged the bribe, he answered, "That's right." Reuters could not immediately reach Pena Nieto or his former spokes-man for comment. He has previously denied taking bribes.
His former chief of staff, however, took to social media to reject the accusation.
"The declarations of the Colombian drug trafficker in New York are false, defamatory and absurd," wrote Francisco Guzman in a post on Twitter, adding that the Pena Nieto government "locat-ed, detained and extradited" the Mexican kingpin.
The allegations are among the most explosive to emerge from Guzman's trial, which began in November and has so far fea-tured testimony of lower-level corruption.
Guzman, 61, was extradited to the United States in 2017 to face charges of trafficking cocaine, heroin and other drugs into the country as leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
Cifuentes testified that he had told U.S. prosecutors that Pena Nieto initially reached out to Guzman, asking for $250 million. Cifuentes told the prosecutors that the bribe was paid in Octo-ber 2012, when Pena Nieto was president-elect, he testified.
Cifuentes also said testified that Guzman once told him he had received a message from Pena Nieto saying he did not have to live in hiding anymore.
Lichtman had promised jurors in his opening statement last No-vember they would hear how Mexican drug kingpin Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada bribed Pena Nieto and another former presi-dent as part of a scheme to frame Guzman. He said Zambada was the real boss of the cartel.
Pena Nieto at the time called the claim "completely false and defamatory." U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan, however, refused to allow Guzman's lawyers to question Zambada's brother about the alleged bribes last year.
It was unclear how Cifuentes' testimony, which appeared to im-plicate Guzman, could be used to defend him, though Lichtman homed in on inconsistencies in Cifuentes' memory. Cifuentes admitted that at a meeting last year, he told prosecutors he was no longer sure of the exact amounts of the bribes, but did not elaborate.
Pena Nieto was president of Mexico from December 2012 until November 2018. He was once a rising star in Mexico's long-dominant Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, and was the former governor of the state of Mexico, the country's most populous.
But the president ended his term a much diminished figure, pummeled by conflict-of-interest scandals, rampant crime and a lackluster economy.
While Pena Nieto himself was barred by law from running for second term in 2018, his centrist party suffered a historic defeat at the polls as leftist President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador won in a landslide, relegating the PRI to the role of a marginal player in the new Congress.
Captured by Pena Nieto's government in February 2014, Guz-man broke out of prison for a second time some 17 months lat-er, escaping through a mile-long tunnel dug right into in his cell.
The jailbreak humiliated the government and battered the pres-ident's already damaged credibility, though Pena Nieto person-ally announced news of the kingpin's third capture when he was again arrested in northwestern Mexico in January 2016.
Colombian-born Cifuentes is one of about a dozen witnesses who have so far testified against Guzman after striking deals with U.S. prosecutors, in a trial that has provided a window into the secretive world of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the world's most powerful drug trafficking organization.
Cifuentes earlier on Tuesday had also testified that Guzman asked an associate to pay a $10 million bribe to a general. The witness said the bribe was never paid and Guzman subsequently ordered the associate killed, though the hit was never carried out.

Paris Hilton Will Keep the Ring
By Jo Davis November 21, 2018
As we all know, Paris Hilton's engagement to Chris Zylka has come to a tragic end, much to the crushing devastation of fans everywhere. But on the upside, everyone can now watch the drama that comes with such a fallout. Hilton has already taken to Instagram to reassure everyone about how great she is.
A post shared by Paris Hilton (@parishilton)
However, rumor has it that Paris hasn't given back the $2 million ring that Chris Zylka presented to her. Zylka wants it back. Apparently, he's hoping she'll return it of her own accord. The law in California says that whoever ends the engagement (in this case, it's Paris) relinquishes the rights to the ring. Although, one of the other rumors in circulation is that Zylka got an awesome deal on the ring because of Paris's jewelry hookup. If you're at all curious, here is what the engagement ring looked like:
A post shared by Greene & Co. Diamonds (@greeneandco)
As I'm drinking my nightly glass of chardonnay, I can only certainly see where the problem lies. I don't care if that thing cost $2 million. It's a fucking ugly ring. I'm sorry, but it really is. It doesn't have to do with how gaudy that ring looks (and it definitely is), but what is this fascination with pear-shaped jewelry? It's not proportional and it just looks wrong.
Also, if you're at all superstitious, one such engagement ring legend states that pear-shaped engagement rings are bad luck. The shape resembles a tear-drop, which means, sad wife and sad life. Well, that would explain a lot. They got off to a bad engagement right from the beginning and it was all downhill from there. Tell your next fiance to get a less cursed ring, Paris.
But I still maintain that these two just fucking forgot they were supposed to get married.

Discussion in 'Archived Threads 2001-2004' started by rich r, May 9, 2002.
Has anyone considered or designed anything for Adire's new Maelstrom 18" I am considering this sub over the tempest due to it high effiency and low end response.
Would this sub be suitable for a 50/50 HT/Music setup!!
I am concerned with the lack of tight bass this sub might be able to produce??
I was considering using the Maelstrom but even Adireaudio told me it wasn't totally geared towards HT.. I think it is more of a driver for a nightclub speaker or something like that.. Tempest goes deeper.. YOu might want to wait for the new drivers Adire has coming out..
they are designing a new driver with double the throw of the other drivers (tempest/shiva/maelstrom). I think the brahma is more designed for car audio. The new drivers are the equivalent of the Brahma but are for HT and don't rely so much on cabin gain. I think Dan W said they will be about $300 for the 15".. it will perform as good or better than 2 tempests in 1/2 the enclosure volume.. I think Dan said around 6 cubic ft tuned to 17 or 18hz will kick serious a**.. the preorder, apparently will start next month.. Im in for 2 of them to replace my tempest. hope this helps Rich.
I think the new Brahma could do the job in a SMALLER box. But I think the TEMPEST is MUCH better for this duty and it is less than HALF the price of the Brahma.
I have a Tempest Sonosub (210 Liters) tuned to 16 Hz with dual 3inch flared ports and this thing REALLY REALLY ROCKS for BOTH HT and Music. It could get tighter sound for music but not that much and since i do 70/30 (HT/Music) then it works very well for my application.
Is this the Driver they were discussing on the "Perfect Sub" thread? if so, then this thing will be just like they said " PERFECT"! The Supreme Being of ALL subs !
I just completed my Maelstrom this weekend (finally) and have only done subjective tests on it. I have it in 275 liters tuned to 22Hz powered with 350 watts and it is LOUD. This driver is actually really good with music, although, that is not what I designed it for, I designed it for punch for home theater and that is what I have. My Tempest in 225L would go a bit lower but the Maelstrom goes louder.
With that being said, I will probably build another sub using the upcoming 15" driver discussed in the "perfect subwoofer driver thread". I need to build a smaller sub that I can possible move to a different listening position in my room because where my current sub sits I have a rather large null in my listening area. Even though I keep getting bigger and louder subs I don't increase my SPL much at my listening area.
Kyle, any idea on when the preorder is for the new Adire Uber-15?
Jeffrey, I would estimate a preorder to begin around the first of June.
Mike, I'll tell you what, the Tempest is a very tough driver to beat for the money and power requirements. The biggest advantage this new driver has over the Tempest is almost the output of 2 Tempests in about half the size needed for those 2 Tempests. It will also sound a little cleaner because of the new XBL^2 motor, although I can't say for sure since I havent heard it yet.
In all honesty, if you can live with the size and second dual Tempest sub I would go that route since you have already purchased the first two Tempests.
Looks like I'll be building the "twin towers of power" in the future. No room for a 2nd in my current room.
Does anyone know if there will be a 12" driver in this new Adire series, or just a 15"?
The 15" was all that was planned...but when the 15" gets out, and if it starts making some good sales...and a 12" version is requested as well...never know.

Q: SharedPreferences in Android Studio Clicker App Not Working I am creating a simple clicker program. I am clicking a pear picture and then it increments by 1 and displays that. I want to save this number so I they can click and then completely exit the app and when they return the same number they left off at is still there. This is my code but yet it still does not save that pears int when I restart the app.
CODE:
    package pearclicker.pearclicker;

    import android.content.SharedPreferences;
    import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
    import android.os.Bundle;
    import android.view.View;
    import android.widget.ImageButton;
    import android.widget.TextView;

    public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ImageButton imageButtonPear;
    TextView showValue;
    int pears;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        showValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.countText);
    }

    public void PearIncrease(View v) {
        SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("PearCount", MODE_PRIVATE);
        SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();
        editor.putInt("pearCount", pears);
        pears++;
        if (pears == 1) {
        showValue.setText(pears + " pear");
            editor.putInt("pearCount", pears);
            editor.apply();
        }
        else {
            showValue.setText(pears + " pears");
            editor.putInt("pearCount", pears);
            editor.apply();
        }
    }

}

A: Your code is doing fine when clicking the button to increase the value of your pear. but you're doing nothing in your onCreate() so you think that the SharedPreference is not storing the value of pear when you restart the app..
to do that you need some modification to your code.
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    ImageButton imageButtonPear;
    TextView showValue;
    int pears = 0;

    SharedPreferences pref;
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences("PearCount", MODE_PRIVATE);

        showValue = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.countText);

        pears = pref.getInt("pearCount", 0); // This will get the value of your pearCount, It will return Zero if its empty or null.
        showValue.setText(pears + " pears");
    }

    public void PearIncrease(View v) {
        editor = pref.edit();
        pears++;
        showValue.setText(pears + " pears");
        editor.putInt("pearCount", pears);
        editor.apply();
    }
}

Télemachos (řecky Τηλέμαχος, také přeložen jako Telemachus či Telémakhos; doslovně "daleký bojovník") je postava z řecké mytologie, syn ithackého krále Odyssea a jeho manželky Pénelopy. Jeho dobrodružství jsou popsána v Homérových eposech "Ilias" a "Odysseia", ve kterých se o něm vypráví od dětství až po bujné mužství. Prvním čtyřem knihám Odyssey se také někdy říká Telemachie.

Odyssea
Télemachos se narodil přesně v den, kdy jeho otec Odysseus byl povolán jít bojovat do Tróje. Aby se vyhnul rukování, Odysseus začal simulovat šílenství: zapřáhl do pluhu vola, zoral pole a oséval ho solí. Na tento trik mu však brzy přišli. Rek Palamédés mu položil před spřežení malého Télemacha, zabaleného v plenkách, a Odysseus samozřejmě zastavil. Tím prozradil, že má všech pět pohromadě – a měl je po celou dobu války: byl nejlepším rádcem vrchního velitele a jeho prozíravosti se rovnala jen jeho odvaha, která mu vynesla titul "bořitel měst".

Když Télemachos vyrostl a jeho otec byl pryč z domu více než 20 let, zjevila se mu náhle
bohyně Athéna. Vzala na sebe podobu moudrého Mentóra, Odysseova přítele a Télemachova rádce, a odešla do přístavu. Tam přikázala plavci Noémonovi, aby připravil rychlou loď. Vyzvala Télemacha, aby do ní vstoupil, potom seslala příznivý vítr a celý den a celou noc s ním plula, až přistál v písečném Pylu. Starý král Nestór se nad návštěvou velmi zaradoval, nebyl mu však s to pomoci, protože sám o Odysseovi nic neslyšel. Poradil mu však, aby se vypravil do Sparty ke králi Meneláovi, a za průvodce mu dal svého syna Peisistrata.

Ve Spartě mu král Meneláos prozradil, co se dozvěděl od mořského starce Prótea: že jeho otec žije, ale na ostrově nymfy Kalypsó, která mu brání, aby se vrátil domů.

Télemachos se zprávou nesmírně potěšil, ale protože nikdo z lidí nevěděl, kde leží Kalypsin ostrov, nevěděl si rady. Ve spánku se mu opět zjevuje bohyně Athéna a radí mu vrátit se zpět
do Ithaky dříve než mu matčini ženichové rozkradou celý dům. Télemachos se spěšně vrátil do Pylu a nasedl na loď. Když připlul zpět k prvnímu mysu skalnaté Ithaky, vystoupil na břeh a loď poslal obvyklou cestou domů. Pak se vypravil k chýši pastýře vepřů Eumaia, aby se u něho skryl, a poslal matce zprávu o návratu z daleké cesty.

Eumaios uvítal Télemacha s obrovskou radostí. Před jeho chatrčí seděl vetchý stařec,
který ihned vstal, aby uvolnil místo královu synu. Télemachos po chvíli poznal, že je to
jeho hledaný otec Odysseus. Nelze říci, kdo měl větší radost ze shledání, jestli syn nebo
otec. Společnými silami pak vytvořili plán, jak se zbavit všech nápadníků ve svém domě.

Télemachův příběh je odděleným článkem hlavních událostí, ale zároveň zobrazuje důležitý
moment v jeho životě. Vzhledem k tomu, že byl vychováván převážně matkou a služkou, nebyl
nikdy schopen se stát řádným dospělým mužem. Například, když přemýšlí jak se zbavit ženichů,
poradí mu Mentés, syn tafijského krále, aby svolal sněm. Poprvé od Odysseova odjezdu se
tedy na Ithace koná sněm a v něm si Télemachos hořce stěžuje na své útrapy brekem. Télemachos se tedy nikdy nedočkal mužství podle řeckých tradic, a je tedy sporné, zda se vůbec stal "mužem" do konce eposu.

Další informace
Podle pozdějších bájí si vzal za ženu Nestorovu dceru Polykastu, podle jiných fajáckou princeznu Naušiku, nebo konečně kouzelnici Kirké. O Télemachovi bývá často psáno i v dalších literárních dílech jako jsou například: The Adventures of Telemachus, Son of Ulysses (1699) autora Francoise Fénelona nebo Odysseus (Ulysses) od Jamese Joyce.

Q: Class 'SimpleXMLElement' not found I am trying to use digital ocean spaces in my php7 laravel project. The code is pretty simple to just load a file and copy it to the directory. Everything works on my local machine but fails on my digital ocean server with this error

Class 'SimpleXMLElement' not found

Even on digital ocean server, if I use tinker to run the same storage commands, it works fine. What can be the issue?
My get_loaded_extensions() returns
get_loaded_extensions()
[
     "Core",
     "date",
     "libxml",
     "openssl",
     "pcre",
     "zlib",
     "filter",
     "hash",
     "pcntl",
     "Reflection",
     "SPL",
     "session",
     "standard",
     "mysqlnd",
     "PDO",
     "xml",
     "apcu",
     "calendar",

     "xmlrpc",
     "xmlwriter",
     "xsl",
     "zip",
     "Zend OPcache",
   ]

so it looks like xml and simplexml are installed. As suggested by the link, php-xml and php-simplexml should be installed. Do I need to install something separately?
Also, my file upload code looks like this
public function uploadNew($file, $title, User $user)
    {
        if (!File::directoryExists($user->username)) {
            Storage::makeDirectory($user->username);
        }
        $completeFileName = $user->username.'/'.$title.time();
        Storage::put($completeFileName, file_get_contents($file), 'public');
        $this->url = File::baseUrl().$completeFileName;
        $this->title = $title;
        $this->user_id = $user->id;
        $this->save();
        return $this;
    }

    public static function baseUrl()
    {
        return 'https://'.env('DO_SPACES_BUCKET').'.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/';
    }

    public static function directoryExists($directory)
    {
        $existingDirs = Storage::directories();
        return in_array($directory, $existingDirs);
    }

A: Finally, I just had to follow the same answer I have mentioned in question.  installed php7.0-xml and simplexml had to be installed and apache server restarted to get it to work. So, even if your loaded extensions show xml and simplexml as installed, you might still need to install the php7.0-xml and simplexml.

A: You have to put \ slash in front of SimpleXMLElement (in laravel) in order to call xml element class
$url = "https://abc.xyz.com";
$response = file_get_contents($url);
$xmlDoc = new \SimpleXMLElement($response);

A: To fix this, install the latest version of php-xml, run this:
sudo apt-get install php-xml -y

Don't forget to restart apache:
sudo systemctl restart apache2

A: check the version of installed php using:-
$ php -v

If it's version 7, then install php7.0-xml
if it's version 7.2.*, then use php7.2-xml package on your machine along with php.

A: I solved running this command
sudo systemctl restart php-fpm

A: Just install php-xml package.For reference, just install all the additional php libraries:
apt-get install php-pear php7.2-curl php7.2-dev php7.2-gd php7.2-mbstring php7.2-zip php7.2-mysql php7.2-xml

A: Try
use SimpleXMLElement;

before calling the class.

A: I just had to restart apache2 after installing
systemctl apache2 restart

Breathing in History at Blythe House: Dr Nelson's Inhaler
May 13, 2016 September 7, 2016 Leave a comment
"Dr Nelson's Inhalers" make up one of the largest single groups of historical inhalation and respiration devices in the Wellcome Medical Collection, currently housed at the Science Museum in London. Alongside other devices for treating pulmonary ailments like early nebulizers, nasal inhalers, and medicated cigarettes, there are 12 intact examples of the Nelson Inhaler of various designs, sizes, and age. This is testament to the popularity of the device and to its widespread availability in the 19th century. Likewise it is a sign of the growing need for reliable treatments as rapid urban development across Europe led to a peak in respiratory ailments like asthma and consumption. Simple inhalation devices like this had a profound impact on improving the lives of thousands of patients in the 19th century.
Environmental pollutants, industrial working conditions, and the spread of chemicals in middle-class consumer articles – even articles seemingly as banal as wallpaper – were a cause of almost constant suffering throughout the 1800s. In the Medical Times and Gazette, the London Fog in 1873 that killed 273 people as a result of bronchial complaints was reported as "one of the most disastrous this generation has known"[1] and Mark Jackson has reconstructed a series of communications in letters to the Lancet and other medical journals looking for cures for these environmental diseases.[2] Charles Dickens is only one of the most famous voices to speak of suffering from asthma in the nineteenth century. In a letter to his sister-in-law Georgina on 7th August 1857, he writes: "I have had an excellent night (a little opiate in the medicine) and have had no return whatever of the distress of yesterday morning". Elsewhere, Dickens refers to fits of coughing early in the morning, so that the dramatic response to a dose of opium (laudanum) is diagnostic of asthma. In a letter he wrote to his daughter Mary, dated 29 March 1868, he writes: "I have coughed from 2 or 3 in the morning until 5 or 6 and have been absolutely sleepless. Last night I took some laudanum, and it is the only thing that has done me any good."[3] Unveiled in 1861 and first marketed with an announcement in The Lancet in 1865,[4] "Dr Nelson's Improved Inhaler" sought to provide a reliable form of therapy for pulmonary and bronchial ailments of this sort.
"Dr Nelson's" was not the first inhaler in history, but it was revolutionary for its ease of use and patient-friendliness as well as for its industrial production, distribution, and widespread marketing. Like its immediate predecessor, the Mudge Inhaler, the Nelson device deployed the inhalation of steam to deliver medication directly to the lungs. Inhaled therapies had been used for the treatment of pulmonary conditions and psychotropic effects for well over 4,000 years, and the inhalation of vapours is documented in Egyptian, Indian, European, and East Asian texts. In the modern period inhalation became increasingly noted as a therapeutic form in the late-18th century, and John Mudge's invention of a simple pewter inhaler in 1778 can probably be seen as the first widespread medical device for inhalation, at least in Britain. Its principle, like the Nelson Inhaler following it, was direct drug delivery using steam particles to transport diluted volatile substances to the trachea, bronchi, and lungs, where they were to be absorbed. The adaptation by Jean Sales-Girons of large scale droplet dispersers, then being used in thermal spas, to create portable nebulizers led to a renewed interest in steam inhalations for ailments like asthma and the croup in the mid-nineteenth century.
The inhaler was first presented at a meeting of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society on May 28th 1861 and was apparently the product of a medical practitioner's empirical experience rather than applied scientific design.[5] The most likely inventor of the device was Thomas Andrew Nelson, who qualified in Edinburgh with a dissertation on "Phthisis pulmonaris" in 1834, before relocating to London where he lived and worked until his death in the area of Regent's Park, at first in Wimpole Street, then in Nottingham Terrace off York Gate.[6] He was the only Dr Nelson who held a Fellowship at the RMCS in the period in question and it is notable that in the geographical area favoured by the Harley Street establishment, he was surrounded by highly-respected physicians and experts in respiratory disease and treatments like Sir Charles Scudamore, himself a leading member of RMCS. The RCMS offered a network with collective experience and the ability to empirically test the inhaler's therapeutic efficacy.
"Dr Nelson's Inhaler" was introduced to the market with some delay by S. Maw & Son Co. from their London base in Aldersgate Street in 1865. The decision of the inventor to work with Maw & Sons is also easily understood. The company was at the forefront of manufacturing and supplying medical equipment to British hospitals and medical practitioners in Victorian Britain.[7] Its reputation was such that it was featured in the 1862 Exhibition, where a range of its ceramic inhalers were displayed. Maw & Sons were particularly well suited to making ceramic instruments as John Hornby Maw (Charles' uncle) left the business and was settled in Shropshire by 1850, where his new business designed and manufactured encaustic tiles first in Worcester, then in Brosely, and finally Benthall. With these family connections to the ceramics industry and their own manufacturing and marketing expertise, S. Maw & Son were an obvious partner with a reputation for quality.
"Dr Nelson's Inhaler" was featured in The Lancet, The Medical Times and Gazette, and the British Medical Journal and became popular with self-medicators and professional physicians alike, playing no small part in the acceptance of inhalants for the first time in the British Pharmacopoiea in 1867. Its popularity can be seen in contemporary peer reviews by medics like William Abbotts Smith, who recommended the device from his clinical experience in the Finsbury Dispensary and the Metropolitan Free Hospital, which both treated London's poor and most vulnerable bronchitic patients.[8] The device was one of the first suitable for the kind of commoditization of therapy and self-medication for which the wealthier classes in the era were renowned, and it also remedied some of the technical difficulties associated with inhalation therapies identified by contemporary critics. Given its relative ease of use, its clinically affirmed reliability, and its recommendation by leading practitioners and authorities of the day, it is unsurprising that "Dr Nelson's Inhaler" makes up one of the largest single groups of historical inhalers in museum collections across Europe today.

A fun but very familiar journey

Review: Pokémon Sword & Shield
Pokémon Sword & Shield represent the start of the eighth "generation" of Pokémon, and the first all-new traditional Pokémon RPG experience for a home console. Games that move from portable consoles to the big screen can often experience growing-pains, and Pokémon is no exception – Sword & Shield can feel regressive in some areas. That's not to say that they're not good, though – there's yet to be a truly bad Pokémon RPG, and both fans and newcomers will find plenty to like about this latest release.
The set-up is the same as always – you're a young kid who leaves their home town hoping to become the region's best Pokémon trainer. The game's new setting, Galar, is based on Britain, and it's pretty gorgeous – it's the first game in the series to feature horizons you can lovingly stare into. You need to travel to the eight gyms scattered across the region, catching and training Pokémon (about 80 of them new to this generation) until you're eventually ready to face the Galar champion. If you've played a Pokémon game before, don't expect any major deviations or innovative storytelling, or anything as wild as Pokémon Sun & Moon's journeys into other dimensions. This is a more traditional experience.
Some elements that the series is known for have been pared right down. There are fewer items to unlock, and unlike the Switch remakes of Red & Blue you can't release your Pokémon from their Poké Balls and have them follow you. Don't expect any real degree of exploration or puzzle solving during your journey either, outside of the mild challenges posed by some gyms before the final battle (and even these are largely abandoned later). The few cave environments you explore are kept short, and for most of the game you're travelling in straight line between each new town.
Cutting down on these elements doesn't just make the adventure a bit less exciting, it makes the whole experience feel less altruistic as well. In past games, you weren't just trying to become the champion – you were foiling evil organisations, fixing broken elements of the world, doing good along the way. While there are still some traces of that in Sword & Shield, they're relegated until right near the end of the game, so there's less of a clear sense of purpose to the first 20-odd hours. That's not to say that the adventure isn't plenty of fun, though—as always, it's hard not to get attached to the creatures that are fighting for you, and the fun, well-animated designs make it easy to love your team. It's also extremely easy, though – I finished the game without ever being beaten.
Where Sword & Shield excel is in the actual process of catching and training your Pokémon. The big new addition this year is the Wild Area, a huge open space that's full of wild monsters to catch. Early on, many of the monsters you encounter here are over-levelled and cannot be caught; it's satisfying returning later with all your badges and finding that now nothing is off limits. Better yet, if your Switch is connected to the Internet you can see other players in the Wild Area too, and even team up with other players for a new type of battle called a 'Dynamax Raid'. In these battles, the Pokémon you're battling against are transformed into giants, making them extra hard to take down. You have this power too, in certain instances throughout the game, and it's pretty exhilarating watching your favourite creature grow huge before attacking with extra-powerful moves.
If you're a returning expert, Sword & Shield has some interesting tweaks for higher level play, and are designed to make it a bit easier to assemble and train a really powerful team. This is a good thing, since Pokémon is such a social activity, and trading and battling with friends is still a huge part of the series' success. I found myself using the online 'Surprise Trade' option often, which lets you send a Pokémon of your choice to another player somewhere else in the world and receive whatever they sent you back. Often, I'd receive common Pokémon, but plenty of users sent me critters that are very hard to find and catch, much to my delight. Surprise Trade speaks to the generous spirits of other players, and makes you feel connected to a wider community.
In many ways these games feel transitional, like slightly lesser entries in the Pokémon canon that will serve as the basis for a much stronger follow-up. But Pokémon is a comfort-food series for a lot of people, and like a bowl of hot chips, it's easy to keep picking away at it even if you've had better.
Pokémon Sword & Shield are out now on Nintendo Switch.

Maxwell isn't at all surprised to find out that her crush Brandon volunteers at a local animal shelter. He's such a sweet guy—of course he wants to help those adorable puppies! Then Brandon tells her that the shelter is in danger of closing, and Nikki knows she can't let that happen. Especially when she discovers a shocking secret about Brandon that makes keeping that shelter open more important than ever. So Nikki and her friends Chloe and Zoey enter an ice skating competition to help raise money for the shelter, but (big surprise) MacKenzie has to stick her nose in and cause trouble so that she can be the one to swoop in and save the day. No way will Nikki let that happen: She'll just have to come up with some extra creative ideas this time!


This one day course will be conducted by Adventure Out for CAWA members. It has been specifically designed to address the situations we commonly find ourselves in so that the skills you take away will be directly applicable and utilise the gear usually carried on single and multi-pitch climbs.
The rescue outline below has an individual focus for a climbing pair. It will not include a team rescue approach employing complicated equipment and complex rigging systems, although all of the skills taught do align with the large scale rescue techniques.
Introduction elements for both self and partner rescue session.
The methods outlined will be taught with minimal equipment (improvisation), with a focus on developing knowledge that provides the safest solution/s.
Self-Rescue Skills: Developing personal knowledge and skills.
How to rig a Belay Anchoring system that is quick, efficient and ready for any potential rescue (less than 30 second change process).
Escaping a jammed (compromised) belay anchoring system (poor and or incorrect rigging set up). A poor belay set up creates a secondary challenge that consumes time and requires self-escape before conducting a rescue for your partner.
Cost: $95 per member (Normally this would cost $375 per person).
The low cost reflects AO kindly providing a special rate along with a further subsidy by CAWA.
CAWA members have already received notification about this course by email but there are still a few spots left.

Q: cells merge when exporting to excel in rdlc I have an rdlc report in my application. The report looks good when seen on the web page, but when I choose the option of exporting to Excel, I get some columns merged in more than one cells. I don't want columns to be merged. How can I prevent this. I already saw this post, but the link provided in this post is not working.
Any help with this issue will be appreciated.

A: As the post you shared suggested, this is usually down to cells/textboxes not aligning in your report design.
SSRS will attempt to replicate the layout that you see in the report preview (or webpage in your case). To do this it will add additional columns to provide the correct spacing and then will merge cells that cross those boundaries.
Make sure that all your textboxes align with no horizontal gap etc. For example, if your report contains a table/matrix and a textbox with a title. Make sure that the title textbox starts and finishes exactly in line with a cell in the table/matrix.
Note that cells will still be merged if they cross the boundaries of columns (e.g. the title in this example, might be merged across several columns depending on it's width).
Sticking with our title scenario, if you need to stop it from merging under any circumstances then you could try this (untested).
Create two textboxes, one wide enough to fit the title in and another that is the same width as other data that shoudl be in the same column in the final excel output. For example, if you have a table with 6 columns, the first textbox will be the same size as those 6 columns but the smaller version will be aligned with the first table column only.
Set the location of both these textboxes to the same location (so they overlap).
Then in the hidden property set one to be hidden when Globals!RenderFormat = "EXCELOPENXML" and the other when this expression is not true. This way the short textbox will only get rendered when exporting to excel, and the logn one will only get rendered to screen.
Depending on version SSRS etc you will have to decide which render format(s) to check for.
See here for documentation on RenderFormat

The backtracking algorithm that would come to this outcome has been described here [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Oct/0599.html]. Would it make sense to reopen that debate?
Your overall point that  and  should behave the same is correct.
Solving the inconsistency is great, thanks. That being said, I'm still interested in solving properly the fallback issue.

The legend who is Peter Johnston called time on an eight year career serving on the committee today and he will be a great loss indeed. Peter has played a significant role overseeing a multitude of projects during his tenure and fittingly goes out on a high after assisting with the successful car parking and painting development. His will be big shoes to fill and all at Wetherby tennis club thank him for his considerable efforts. Peter is also stepping down from his voluntary work with North Yorkshire Railways but will still be seen around the club on court. He is keenly still enjoying social and coaching and hoping to force his way into Harry Full's new York three mixed team next summer.
It's been a pleasure having you on the committee Peter and we can't thank you enough for all your great work during this time. Good luck with your retirement and keep enjoying your tennis sir.

Thanks to a High Court ruling on March the 27th, Telefonica – O2's parent company – is now required to produce the names and addresses of their broadband customers who Golden Eye International believe spread Ben Dover films across peer-to-peer file sharing networks, allowing the firm to seek damages.
In the landmark case, the Chancery Division of the High Court ordered that a portion 9,000 IP addresses, which Golden Eye (co-founded by the man behind Ben Dover Productions, and Julian Becker, commercial director of Optime Strategies Ltd., in 2009) have targeted as illegal sharers be identified. However, the judge added Lindsay Honey's (aka Ben Dover) intention to demand £700 from each of the O2 customers highlighted as unlawful filesharers was "unsupportable" and would only grant access to O2's data on the understanding this demand would be dropped from the letters.
Despite O2's fight against the case, on the grounds that it had to protect its customers' details, judge Mr Justice Arnold granted Golden Eye International access, but only to data relating to those accused of sharing Ben Dover Productions' films via BitTorrent. Twelve other adult studios were involved in the case, but they've not been granted the same access. The court rejected their applications but found in favour of Ben Dover Productions, saying that "the claimants' interests in enforcing their copyrights outweigh the intended defendants' interest in protecting their privacy and data protection rights".
The other applications for O2 customers' personal details, relating to other producers, were rejected by Mr Justice Arnold because Golden Eye International intended to pursue alleged unlawful downloaders and take 75 per cent of any damages paid. Which, according to the judge, "…would be tantamount to the court sanctioning the sale of the intended defendants' privacy and data protection rights to the highest bidder." The twelve other British studios involved in the case included Easy on the Eye, SweetMeats and One-Eyed Jack Film productions. The ruling, that Golden Eye didn't have the rights to sue for profit on their behalf, may yet be challenged.
The judge added the letters which Golden Eye International intended to send to the named individuals, demanding payment of £700 or face court action, was "capable of causing unnecessary distress because it could be read as an implicit threat of publicity once proceedings have been commenced".
Instead, the court ruled Golden Eye must allow O2 customers fair opportunity to show they'd not committed copyright infringement. Any remittance for infringement of Ben Dover Productions' copyright would need to be negotiated on a defendant-by-defendant basis as well.
A spokesman for O2 said, "Clearly we respect the court order and will therefore be co-operating fully." The telecoms firm will cross-reference a fraction of the 9,124 IP addresses that were originally detected infringing adult studios' copyright against its customer database and supply personal details to Golden Eye. Like other UK ISPs, O2 is required to keep logs of the IP addresses assigned to all customers for a year.
Consumer Focus' chief executive Mike O'Connor, who was allowed to intervene in the case on behalf of the O2 customers, said that although personal details will be released, the case had helped to protect internet users from so-called speculative invoicing by placing a greater burden of proof on the claimant.
The claim of 'speculative invoicing' by copyright holders pursuing reparations from illegal sharers of their content is not unknown in the UK. It's closely associated with ACS:Law, the now defunct firm of London solicitors which sent out around 20,000 letters alleging unlawful file exchanging and demanding payment on behalf of film and computer-game rights holders. ACS:Law's founder, Andrew Crossley, was later found guilty by the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal of seven charges of conduct unbefitting a solicitor.
In January Crossley was suspended from acting as a solicitor for two years and was ordered to pay more than £76,000 in costs. This followed a series of attacks on ACS:Law's computer systems by hackers acting for Anonymous, who published the firm's internal emails – including BT customer details – online. ACS:Law ceased trading soon afterwards, with Andrew Crossley telling a court he'd also received death and bomb threats.
