Table 2 Production of Sulphuric Acid in the Countries of the European Community Sulphuric acid is produced in all the countries of Europe with the major producers being Germany, Spain, France, Belgium and Italy. These countries accounting for 70% of the total European production.
Highly efficient MECS® SULFOX™ plants can desulfurize a wide range of waste streams, recovering salable sulfuric acid using a distinctive wet process.
This project is prepared according to the requirements of chemical engineering department, and it's also a preliminary study of sulfuric acid production plant.
BAT Reference Document on the Production of Sulphuric Acid 5 Preface The European Sulphuric Acid Association (ESA) and the European Fertilizer Manufacturer Association (EFMA) have prepared recommendations on Best Available Techniques (BAT) in response EU Directive on integrated pollution and control (IPPC Directive) .
Types of Acid Plants There are three basic types of sulphuric acid plants: Sulphur Burning Acid Regeneration Metallurgical Acid regeneration plants include plants that decompose spent sulphuric acid into SO 2 and H 2O to be regenerated in to fresh acid and plants that take waste sulphur gases (H 2S, CS 2) to produce acid.
Sulphuric acid derives from the contact process from the sulphur-containing process gases of the primary smelter.
Introduction PS3 is the first sulfuric acid plant with a heat recovery system(HRS) in OCP, this plant start up in 2000 with a capacity of 2300tpd (MECS-double absorption sulfur burning sulfuric acid plant). The environmental design was made to meet a value of 417ppmv SO2 in stack gases and 0.075 kh H2SO4/MT H2SO4.
Sulfuric acid plant equipment. Founded as a part of a company that owned, operated, designed and built sulfuric acid plants, Jacobs has viewed equipment design from the plant owner's perspective and has focused on developing equipment designs that provide superior performance, reliability and ease of maintenance for our clients.

ISIS's Second Comeback: Assessing the Next ISIS Insurgency
By Jennifer Cafarella with Brandon Wallace and Jason Zhou
*Updated July 23, 2019
The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) is not defeated despite the loss of the territory it claimed as its so-called 'Caliphate' in Iraq and Syria. It is stronger today than its predecessor Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) was in 2011, when the U.S. withdrew from Iraq. AQI had around 700-1000 fighters then. ISIS had as many as 30,000 fighters in Iraq and Syria in August 2018 according to a Defense Intelligence Agency estimate. ISIS built from the small remnant left in 2011 an army large enough to recapture Fallujah, Mosul, and other cities in Iraq and dominate much of eastern Syria in only three years. It will recover much faster and to a much more dangerous level from the far larger force it still has today.
[Download the full report here.]
The slow-motion reduction of ISIS's territory and strength initiated by President Obama and continued by President Trump gave the group plenty of time to plan and prepare for the next phase of the war. It had a plan to recover ready before the "caliphate" fell and has been executing it during the anti-ISIS campaign conducted by the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), and the U.S.-Led Anti-ISIS Coalition. ISIS deliberately withdrew and relocated many of its fighters and their families from Mosul, Raqqa, and other important cities into new and old support zones in Iraq and Syria. ISIS's forces are now dispersed across both countries and are waging a capable insurgency. ISIS retained a global finance network that funded its transition back to an insurgency and managed to preserve sufficient weapons and other supplies in tunnel systems and other support zones in order to equip its regenerated insurgent force.
ISIS began reconstituting key capabilities in late 2018 that will enable it to wage an even more aggressive insurgency in coming months. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi asserted greater operational control over his forces in Iraq and Syria in June 2018 and is reconstituting command-and-control structures. ISIS is also reconstituting its capability to detonate waves of Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIEDs) across Iraq and Syria - the signature of its early campaigns leading up to the conquest of Fallujah and Mosul in 2014. It has already detonated VBIEDs in liberated cities including Mosul and Raqqa. ISIS also resumed standardized media releases in July 2018, indicating that it has rebuilt key media capabilities.
ISIS's insurgency will grow because areas it has lost in Iraq and Syria are still neither stable nor secure. In Iraq, ISIS has systematically eliminated village leaders and civilians who cooperated with anti-ISIS forces. Its goal is to weaken resistance and to fuel the population's distrust of the Government of Iraq. It has re-imposed taxes on local populations in its historical support zones, displacing civilians and de facto controlling small pockets of terrain in Iraq. In Syria, ISIS is waging a three-front insurgency against the U.S.-backed SDF, the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, and Al Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Its campaign degrades governance structures and halts reconstruction efforts, contributing to the perpetuation of state failure and violence in the Syrian Civil War.
ISIS will seek to reestablish territorial control in Iraq and in Syria. It will likely succeed if the U.S. withdraws. American support on the ground in Syria coheres disparate SDF elements that would almost certainly fracture if the U.S. leaves. The U.S. presence in Eastern Syria enables vital intelligence and air operations that could not be replaced if America withdrew. It also deters Turkey from invading northeastern Syria, which would at minimum cause the SDF to pull forces away from the Middle Euphrates River Valley to defend against Turkey in the north, creating even more space in which ISIS could re-emerge. A strong and capable SDF in eastern Syria is also necessary to prevent ISIS from using Syria as a base to fuel its campaign in Iraq.
ISIS's next breakout success could be even more devastating than its 2014 campaign. Its external provinces outside Iraq and Syria are contributing resources to its insurgency in those countries while giving the organization renewed global momentum. ISIS declared the start of a new global campaign called the 'Battle of Attrition' on May 31, 2019. Its propaganda instructed its forces to seize terrain temporarily as a way to attrite their opponents. ISIS's ability to campaign simultaneously abroad and in Iraq and Syria gives it new opportunities. Its successful reconstitution of a physical caliphate in Iraq and Syria would produce new waves of ISIS attacks in Europe and dangerously legitimize ISIS's narrative of inevitable long-term victory.
The U.S. is repeating a critical mistake by deprioritizing this effort at a pivotal moment when our gains are at their most fragile. The U.S. must take immediate steps to dampen ISIS's resurgence in Iraq and Syria, including halting and reversing America's ongoing withdrawal from Syria. More American support to the SDF will be necessary. American partners and allies should contribute, but it must recognize that it is the only country with both the ability and moral clarity to lead this effort. The U.S. should also prioritize and expand humanitarian aid operations to help dampen the appeal of ISIS, especially among the large traumatized underage population living in displacement camps across the Middle East. These actions can help reduce the rate and scale of ISIS's regrowth and provide the U.S. the time required to develop a more robust strategy truly to defeat ISIS and establish the conditions that will prevent another reconstitution.
Turkey will oppose increased American support to the SDF. The U.S. should focus its efforts on increasing the strength and capability of Arab SDF elements, which do not threaten Turkey as much as the Kurdish elements. Supporting these Arab groups will enable the U.S. to better combat ISIS's insurgency, which is strongest in Arab areas, and will also decrease the SDF's overall reliance on the Kurdish forces that Turkey opposes. The U.S. should condition increased support to the SDF on reforms of its behavior to ensure that it represents both Arabs and Kurds regardless of whether or not they support the political ideology of the SDF. These steps alone will not appease Turkey but they can reduce the likelihood that continued American efforts to find a durable resolution to the problem of ISIS in Iraq and Syria lead to increased tensions and the risk of conflict.
*Correction (July 23, 2019): The authors have retitled the assessed current phase of ISIS operations based on a review of statements released after the publication of this report. The report stated that ISIS announced a new global campaign titled "Battle of Attrition" on May 31, 2019. The authors assessed at the time of publication that this announcement signaled the conclusion of the "Soldiers Harvest II" campaign. ISIS in fact continued to use "Soldiers Harvest" to refer to its ongoing operations after this report's publication. The authors still assess that ISIS has entered a new phase of military operations. The new phase has been marked by a more aggressive focus on attrition that exploits the conditions set during the previous campaign. Therefore, the campaign that occurred between July 2018 and May 2019 is now titled "Soldiers Harvest II (A)" and the campaign underway since May 2019 is now titled "Soldiers Harvest II (B)."


Volunteering is such a a rewarding experience, especially when it is approached with a positive attitude. This semester I gave some of my time volunteering with a group from the Newman Center here on the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's campus helping serve the hungry of my community at Matt Talbot Kitchen. I chose to volunteer at Matt Talbot because I believe in the cause and it is so rewarding to physically see the fruits of your labor with the smiles and thank you's.
People should give back to their community because it helps put things in perspective. While volunteering at Matt Talbot, I realized how blessed I truly am with my family and stable situation. Volunteering helps you look at life through different lenses and makes you see how small your problems really are. My daily problems, trials, or tribulations are nothing compared to what some people in my community and other places have to go though on a daily basis.
In addition to this, volunteering makes me take more ownership for the community that I am in. Instead of just living in the community, when you volunteer you realize that you are PART of the community which is an incredible feeling that I hope more people get to be a part of.

Review quote
'...Farrington et al. have amassed a broad collection of pertinent and insightful case studies. With a practitioner amongst their number, the authors have accessed sources from within sport and sports journalism that are often lacking from studies of this sort, particularly in the case of journalists. The authors (generally) criticize not individual writers but look to highlight trends in coverage and assess their likely causes/contexts and implications...Taking all of this into account, then, this is a book that journalists (both budding and more established) as well as media researchers can get a good deal out of.'

Milford is a town of just under 10,000 people near the coast of Delaware and the city of Lewes. The population is growing very rapidly as the area's beaches, lower taxes, and proximity to Baltimore and Washington attract retirees and others looking for a less frantic pace of life. Photos of Milford and Mispillion River courtesy of Wikipedia and Tim Kiser.
Real estate prices have been gyrating in the past few years, ranging from a median of almost $200,000 in 2011 to just over $120,000 in early 2012, $180,000 in 2013, and down to about $170,000 in mid 2014. There are active adult communities here and in neighboring towns like Lewes (see Delaware Directory using "Best Places" link above or the Find a Community feature at top right).
It is on Delaware's southern coast and beautiful Beaches with it's many upscale Restaurants and loads of activities without the hassel of the beach area traffic.
Lacking Large shopping Malls. Closest Mall is 24 miles North in Dover, but Tanger Outlets just down the Highway 10 miles in Rehoboth.
Active, Fun, Foodies, Beach loving people, Golf enthusiasts, Boating and Fishing types.
Local Business, Boutiques, Restaurants, Farmers Markets, Tourists, close proximity to the Beaches.
A four season area with very Moderate Winter temps. Rarely any snow to speak of.
Milford has a local Theather company, Art Gallery, various Restaurants from fine dining to pizza. Farmers market all summer long, numerous festivals on the RiverFront.
Milford has Bayhealth Hospital in town, Multi Million dollar Medical Campus being built on Coastal Highway in Milford right across from Hearthstone Manor Community. Will house all Medical needs from Inpatient to outpatient to Dr. Offices to address all needs. Also two other Major Health care facilities near by. BeeBee Medical Center in Lewes and Kent General Hospital within minutes of Milford.
The closest airport is in Salisbury about 50 miles away. And Philadelphia International Airport, Philadelphia PA is hour north.
Several sources report that the crime rate is well above the national average. Prospective residents should investigate throughly.
Milford has a new hospital and I heard (unconfirmed) that a Medical Campus is being built. At this time, however, it can be difficult to find Primary Care Physicians as their numbers are limited. Some practices in the area are not accepting new patients.
What is the town of Milford like? Are there half decent restaurants and cultural opportunities in the area?

"It all starts with belief in yourself and what you bring to the table"
Joshua Smith, senior Vice President at Advantage xPO, Dallas, Texas (United States of America)
"As I progressed through my career I took a couple of bold steps. Those big leaps of faith moved me away from the status quos and a level of comfort into the moment where I thought, 'What have I got myself into!' But then I realized that you can accomplish anything if you put your mind to it, build a plan, and engage with the right people. I think taking bold steps starts with confidence and belief in yourself. You might not have the right tools at the moment, but you should always remember that you can surround yourself with people who can help and develop you. People who can get you to the point that you need to be. I always kept that in mind."
Giving it a spin
"I was 24 years old and I had just graduated in marketing. I worked as a waiter and bartender and wasn't really sure what to do with my career. My wife put me in touch with Pro Staff, where I could get a job in a marketing role on a temporary contract. I didn't really know what temporary employment was, but I gave it a spin. After a while I was offered a full-time job as a talent manager at Pro Staff. I didn't know anything about recruiting or the industry. So I did a bit of homework, and I rolled the dice."
The big leaps of faith I took moved me away from the status quos.
"The most overcomer story for me is probably when I had the opportunity to take up a role in sales in 2007. It was quite scary. The thought of cold-calling someone to drum up a conversation and generate a business opportunity made me very anxious. But I had a young family, and I knew that being in the sales arena gave me the opportunity to really grow my income, just based on my own performance. So I took a risk and went on faith. Again."
On my bucket list
"I never dreamed I would have such an abundant career. Over the years I promoted a couple of times. At some point I put becoming senior vice president on my bucket list, but I never thought I would reach that milestone at the age of 38. The fact that I have been given this opportunity, that the executive team of our combined company structure felt I'm the right person to lead Advantage xPO (part of Staffmark Group) into the next chapter is very humbling. It's also exciting because Advantage xPO has such a great opportunity to become a leader in our industry."
My greatest examples
"Through the years I worked with and led many wonderful people. And I was never shy in asking for help. In my professional life Candice Winterringer had the biggest influence on me. She was senior VP of Contingent Workforce Solutions and was very nurturing to me. She was very focused on separating me from my weaknesses and developing my strengths. She taught me humility. I think it's a characteristic that should be in every leader's toolbox."
"In my personal life my late brother Jeffrey Smith was my biggest example. We were not just brothers, we were best friends. He taught me that there is a career and a home life and how to combine them in a balanced way. He showed me how to be a good father, that you should be intentional with your wife and family."
Family is everything
"Family is the most important thing. At the end of the day you come home from work and family is what you got. In the latter part of my career I started to take note of that. I started to grow. Soon after I started at Pro Staff we had our first child. A couple of years later our second and third. My career responsibilities were increasing as well as my family responsibilities. So I had to be able to strike a balance."
"I found balance through trial and error and with the help of my brother. I came to a point where I learned that a lot of imbalance comes from a lack of self-discipline. You know, I can find a reason to work till ten o'clock every night. But the reality is that some work will still be there the next day. Especially those non-functional, non-critical types of tasks that are really interfering with family time. I still work very hard, but I'm more directive and smarter in how I manage my time."
"I try to be intentional in everything I do. So when I'm working I make sure I'm focused on work. I remove distractions. When I'm not at work, I make sure I'm intentional with my family."
At the end of the day you come home from work and family is what you got. In the latter part of my career I started to take note of that.
Raising up
"Our family is big on experiences. We are our own biggest fans and spend more time together than apart. We go to the beach and to the mountains. We love the outdoors and vacations. All three of our kids are involved in sports. My wife and I are sports parents, and I'm very active in coaching at my sons' sports. I find it very important to my development to work together with other parents. And it's great to see that we are raising up our sons as young men who are humble and respectful. As for myself, I'm active in fitness and softball."
My biggest lesson to others
"I realize that my story, starting as a temp worker and becoming senior vice president at the age of 38, is inspiring to others. I think one of the biggest lessons I try to teach others is that if you believe in yourself and what you bring to the table, it doesn't matter what others do or have done. What matters is what you can do. That's something I communicate and try to live out with my people."

Environmental Impact of Fossil Fuels
The environmental effects of using fossil fuels can have a serious impact on the quality of life. The process of burning fossil fuels combines carbon in the fuel with oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide (CO2) that is released to the atmosphere. This is true for all fossil fuels and more so with coal and oil. The United States produces over 6 billion tons of CO2 each year that is released into the atmosphere; 35% of this is from coal-fired power stations.
Today, carbon dioxide levels are at historic high levels, the evidence of which can be traced back 420,000 years from analysis of ice cores taken at Vostok, Antarctica. Carbon dioxide is a natural constituent of the atmosphere, but it is also a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. It is not a simple matter to sequester carbon dioxide and prevent it from getting in the atmosphere, so levels will continue to build for the foreseeable future until economic and reliable carbon capture can be implemented.
Carbon dioxide capture is an ongoing research area, and commercial scale CO2 capture has been tested in a 25 megawatt (MW) coal-fired plant in Alabama, with over 100,000 tons of CO2 captured to date.
Carbon dioxide gets the most attention for burning fuels, but other pollutants are also released. When gasoline is burned in a motor vehicle, it produces carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas, and releases nitrous oxides, ozone, and benzene.
Coal is not pure carbon or hydrocarbons; it also contains small amounts of sulfur and other toxic materials that are released when it is used as a fuel. Sulfur dioxide is another atmospheric pollutant that contributes to forming acid rain and the acidification of oceans and lakes.
Coal burning also results in fly ash in the form of a fine residue, which gets in the atmosphere, and bottom ash, which is the residue in the burners. Coal ash also contains traces of poisonous heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, and mercury; these pollutants are hazardous to human health, as well as fish and other wildlife.
Atmospheric CO2 gets most of the attention, but another aspect to increases in CO2 is acidification of the oceans. When atmospheric CO2 is absorbed by water, it creates acid. There is clear evidence of an increase in the acidity of the world's oceans, which will ultimately have very serious consequences to marine life, particularly shellfish, coral reefs, and certain types of plankton at the bottom of the food chain.
The shells of shellfish can dissolve in a more acidic environment, and corals stop building reefs. The loss of corals will have profound effects on the marine food chain, ultimately affecting fisheries.
In addition to pollution caused by burning fossil fuels, the process of obtaining these fuels has led to some major environmental disasters, such as the infamous Exxon Valdez spill and the British Petroleum (BP) Gulf of Mexico oil spill. Coal has been particularly hazardous to obtain.
Even natural gas, which is the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels, contributes to environmental damage and health problems. Not all methane in natural gas burns, so some methane is released to the atmosphere. The overall impact of greenhouse gases is determined by several factors, including the residence time in the atmosphere—a longer residence time has a greater impact. Ton for ton, methane has a greater impact as a greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide; however, it has a shorter residence time and there is much less methane released than carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide has an average residence time of over a century before it is removed, whereas methane's residence time is only ten years. The net impact on global climate change is higher for carbon dioxide than for methane. The burning of fossil fuels adds carbon dioxide and methane (as well as other pollutants) to the atmosphere.
In appliances such as stoves, natural gas contributes to significant indoor pollution because stoves are generally not vented to the outside, thus trapping the gas inside. This can create a health hazard, particularly for people with respiratory problems.
Obtaining natural gas via a technique called hydraulic fracking is controversial. Fracking has its origins in a natural process where fluid seeps into rocks, and the resulting pressure breaks the rocks and enables natural gas and oil to find an easier path to seep out.
Human fracking consists of drilling a well over a mile below the earth's surface to reach shale deposits. The drilling rig then turns the drill horizontally and drills another 4,000 feet through the shale deposit. The final step in this process is to pump millions of gallons of water, sand, and chemicals into the well to shatter the shale, which allows trapped natural gas, oil, propane, and butane to the surface where it is captured and sent through existing transportation pipelines. Sometimes material injected into the shale is a mixture that includes sand, ceramics, or sintered bauxite as a fracturing fluid, or it may be in the form of a foam, gel, or gas.
The procedure is considered to be controversial because it is not possible to know all of the environmental effects associated with fracking, but there is evidence of natural gas contamination of groundwater in Pennsylvania and there may be other potential environmental impacts, such as effects on the water table. There is also evidence that fracking has been responsible for two rather small earthquakes in England in the spring of 2011.
Water usage and disposing of warm water with all fossil-fueled power plants, and with thermal cycle power plants in general, are also issues. In any heat engine, the temperature difference between the heat input and the heat rejected is related to the work done. A greater efficiency is obtained when the temperature difference is higher.
Water is the most widely used coolant for power plants because it has very high heat capacity and can remove heat efficiently. Water is an excellent coolant, but steam-operated power plants require massive amounts of cooling water. One method of cooling, called once-through cooling, takes water from a source (usually a river) and puts warmed water back into the source. The warmed water can have a deadly effect on aquatic life.
A widely used alternative to river water for cooling is evaporative cooling, which uses huge quantities of water. Waste heat is removed by evaporating the water in large cooling towers rather than returning it to its source. Water is a precious resource, so it is an issue that must be considered for power plants.
In drought conditions, such as those that occurred in the summer of 2012, the lack of water at some power stations required several power plants to cut back production. In hot dry summers, this problem becomes especially acute, with power plants, farmers, ranchers, and fisheries all competing for this valuable resource.

Mexico City: US President Donald Trump's threats to modify economic and immigration policy toward Mexico have sparked fears among the US expatriates in the country, a media report said on Thursday.
The American community living in the western Mexican state of Jalisco fear confrontation, Efe news reported.
Terry Vidal, executive director of the US citizens' society on the shore of Jalisco's Lake Chapala, said he and his compatriots were concerned not only about Trump's threats but about how the Mexican government would react.
"It scares us to see what's happening because Mexico is not going to take that easily and they're already planning some kind of reprisal to protect their own rights. And we don't like that," Vidal said.
The Lake Chapala Society chief, who has been living in Mexico for almost a decade and is married to a Mexican, said Americans don't want a confrontation since it could lead to expressions of hatred against them.
"There's a big possibility but we're also hoping that everything's going to be okay," he said.
The towns along the shore of Lake Chapala have some of the largest US expatriate communities in Mexico. Most Americans are elderly and only want a nice, quiet place to retire.
According to the National Immigration Institute, 7,000 foreigners live in the area, most of them in Ajijic.
During the winter, up to 14,000 Americans and Canadians flee their chilly northern homes to take refuge in the little town on Mexico's largest lake, where the climate is said to be like a paradise.
Mark Gulko left Florida with his wife and moved permanently to Ajijic several weeks ago despite the fact that Mexico's relations with the US are uncertain given the new US political climate.
He said he does not share Trump's characterisation of Mexican migrants to the US as "rapists" and "criminals," saying his hosts are "marvellous people".
He accepts the possibility that measures against immigrants the US President could take might spark a backlash.
"I hope that Mexicans … realise that not all of us Americans have the same point of view and think like Trump. We're all different," he said.

Q: i7 Notebook with 4:3 or at least 16:10 screen? I am sick and tired of my widescreen 16:9 MacBook (running mostly Windows anyway). Does anyone know any new (= i7, i5 CPU) notebook with a 15''-16'' inch screen in the 4:3 or at least 16:10 format?

A: There are several, most of them Apple though (means the internal keyboard might not be what you expect and you need to bring your own Windows license).
I used this german site, should give you an overview at least.

A: The vast majority of OEMs have had to move to 16:9 simply because it's getting hard to get 16:10 panels that are acceptably priced for inclusion in a laptop; about all you can find these days are higher end IPS panels, etc.  It's even worse with 4:3 displays, especially if you want something bigger than a netbook.
I know Lenovo still has a 14" 16:10 (ThinkPad T410).

Tim Blair has done a great job of pulling together the latest updates on the killer tsunamis that have devastated the Indian rim. He's been on it since the story broke. IMO, it's an example of blogging at its best.
The nature of this story doesn't lend itself to bloggers as newsbreakers. But alert bloggers, like Blair, can aggregate stories and photos and point readers to more remote web sources.
Wikipedia also has comprehensive coverage.
There's some chilling amateur video here.
Not surprisingly, though, there isn't much in the way of live blog reports from the scene. Blogger Dare Obasanjo criticised Robert Scoble for questioning this lack of live blogging when the disaster was unfolding.
But the New York Times sees it differently:
For vivid reporting from the enormous zone of tsunami disaster, it was hard to beat the blogs.
The so-called blogosphere, with its personal journals published on the Web, has become best known as a forum for bruising political discussion and media criticism. But the technology proved a ready medium for instant news of the tsunami disaster and for collaboration over ways to help.
[...] Howard Rheingold, the author of "Smart Mobs: The Next Social Revolution," about the use of interactive technologies like text-messaging to build ad hoc coalitions, said that using blogs to muster support for aid was a natural next step. "If you can smartmob a political demonstration, an election or urban performance art, you can smartmob disaster relief," he said.
One veteran of the online medium said he was initially "a little disappointed" in the reports he got from the blogs. Paul Saffo, director of the Institute for the Future in California, said that with the widespread use of digital cameras and high-speed digital access, he was expecting to see more raw video and analysis.
He said that upon reflection he realized that it was difficult to get information out of hard-hit areas and that putting digital video online is still the domain of "deep geeks" with significant resources. "This brought home to me just how far we have to go," he said.
For my money the wires and various foreign bureaux led the running. Media organisations have encouraged firsthand reader feedback via email on their websites, but you can expect blogs to kick up a gear when more witnesses get safe and get online access.
The occasional exceptions are photo blogs. The Age used pics from here on the front page today.

Chanel spring/summer 2021

17 best looks from Chanel spring/summer 2021
By Weiqi Yap
As Paris Fashion Week comes to a close, Virginie Viard presents a Hollywood-influenced collection for Chanel's spring/summer 2021 show at the Grand Palais
Spring/summer 2021 has been a season of phygital fashion, from blended reality presentations to purist runway shows. After two virtual collection reveals, Chanel has opted for the latter this season, staging its show at the Grand Palais—possibly its last at the historic site in the near future as the venue prepares to shut for major refurbishments. But Paris and Chanel have an inextricable relationship, over at the newly reopened Palais Galliera, a retrospective exhibition, 'Gabrielle Chanel: Fashion Manifesto', chronicles the milestones and work of Gabrielle Chanel. Paris can't escape Chanel, and vice versa.
But this season saw Virginie Viard paying tribute to another major city—you might know it as La-La Land, Tinseltown, Los Angeles. Whichever moniker it goes by, the city is known for one thing: Hollywood. Synonymous with glitz and glamour—but also fame and folly—the city has had a long love affair with the silver screen. Enlisting the help of photographers Inez & Vinoodh, Chanel produced a cinematic short featuring the work of French directors, Jean-Luc Godard, Louis Malle and Jacques Deray, as well as French actresses, Anna Karina, Romy Schneider and Jeanne Moreau. This close collaboration with cinema was by no means a random draw from the Chanel hat of themes—Gabrielle Chanel herself was a costume designer for directors such as Luchino Visconti and Roger Vadin. Earlier this year in April, the brand seemed to already drop hints of this spring/summer 2021 focus, releasing an episode of its 'Inside Chanel' video series exploring Chanel's relationship with the world of film and cinema.
As a nod to the city, the set of the show featured a Chanel-ified iteration of the city's iconic landmark, the Hollywood sign. Logomania was a key sigil of the collection, with Chanel emblazoned in every thinkable permutation: plastered all-over chiffon maxi dresses, bedazzled across the chest, tessellated on the sleeves, and again in movie-poster style typefaces on high-slit skirts. Itty bitty bags have also landed on Viard's radar, as actually functional arm candy, but also as dangly belt charms.
For a season that has largely felt stranger than fiction, the references to Hollywood feel simultaneously apt and removed from reality. Seeing models emerge from behind the massive Chanel sign, almost as if they were actresses themselves coming out of the shadows of Hollywood—one can't help but wonder if there's more to Viard's vision than meets the eye.

Q: An error occurred creating the form. See Exception.InnerException for details. The error is: Object reference not set to an instance of an object I get this error when attempting to debug my form, I cannot see where at all the error could be (also does not highlight where), anyone have any suggestions?

An error occurred creating the form.
  See Exception.InnerException for
  details.  The error is: Object
  reference not set to an instance of an
  object.

Dim dateCrap As String = "Date:"
Dim IPcrap As String = "Ip:"
Dim pcCrap As String = "Computer:"
Dim programCrap As String = "Program:"

Dim textz As String
Dim sep() As String = {vbNewLine & vbNewLine}
Dim sections() As String = Text.Split(sep, StringSplitOptions.None)

Dim NewArray() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split(vbNewLine)

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    textz = TextBox1.Text
End Sub

A: The error is here:
Dim textz As String = TextBox1.Text

and here:
Dim NewArray() As String = TextBox1.Text.Split(vbNewLine)

and possibly here:
Dim sections() As String = Text.Split(sep, StringSplitOptions.None)

You cannot initialize a member like this because this code is basically executed in the constructor, before TextBox1 (or any other control/property) is initialized, hence it is Nothing.
Put all initializations that refer to controls inside the Form_Load event – that's what it's there for.

A: Turn off "Just MY Code" under debugging section on the "Options>General" tab. That'll show you where the exact error originates.

A: I had the same symptoms - couldn't even start debugging, as the error appeared before any of my code started to run. Eventually tracked it down to a resize event handler:
Private Sub frmMain_Resize(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Resize
ArrangeForm()

End Sub
As soon as I removed the handler, the error disappeared. The odd thing is that it had been running for about 3 weeks (while I developed other parts of the code) without any problem, and just spontaneously stopped working. A ResizeEnd event handler caused no problem.
Just posting this in case anyone else is unfortunate enough to encounter the same problem. It took me 8 hours to track it down.


More and more businesses of all sizes are using social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter and Foursquare, as a way to better engage customers and increase sales. However, just having a Facebook page or a Twitter account is no guarantee of success. So to find out how small businesses (and larger ones) can successfully use social media to enhance their customer relationship management (CRM) and improve sales, I spoke with two social media CRM (or social CRM) experts, Pamela O'Hara, the co-founder and president of BatchBlue, the maker of BatchBook social CRM software, and Margaret Donnelly, the vice president of marketing and business development at JitterJam Social CRM.
1. Use information gathered from social media sites and your CRM system to help you target your marketing to key segments.
2. Monitor sites like Facebook and Twitter and Yelp to uncover potential customers and find out which customers are influencers.
3. Similarly, monitor leading social media sites, as well as forums that are pertinent to your business or industry, to learn what customers are saying about your brand and your products (for better or worse).
4. Think of your company blog and your Facebook page (as well as sites like TripAdvisor, if you are in the hospitality business) as customer service tools — especially for countering negative comments.
5. Think of your Facebook and Twitter followers as a free focus group, for trying out new product ideas.
6. Use social media sites and your company blog to build community — and seek out new opportunities.
7. Use sites like Foursquare, Facebook, and Twitter to offer friends, fans, and followers exclusive promotions and discounts.
8. Use social media sites, as well as blogs and forums your customers are likely to visit, to establish yourself as an expert people want to buy from.
10. Use YouTube to educate your customers, by posting helpful how-to videos about your product(s).

The Theory Of Everything Brought Stephen Hawking To Tears
By Brent McKnight | 6 years ago
Watching a biopic of yourself must be a strange experience. Seeing what is ostensibly your story, played out by actors and actresses, all of whom are much better looking than you are in reality, seeing key events form your life rendered dramatically, that all sounds quite surreal. Do you get sucked up into the story like every other audience member (ideally anyway), or do you sit there mutter "that's not how it happened" to yourself for two hours? In most of these cases, the subjects in these films are long dead, so this is a moot point, but sometimes they're still with us, as is the case with the new Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything. If you wondered how the renowned physicist responded to this film, the answer is, he was moved to tears.
James Marsh's (Man on Wire) film recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, where it earned a ton of praise, specifically for Eddie Redmayne (Jupiter Ascending) in the lead role as Hawking. Based on a memoir of the same name by Jane Hawking (played by Felicity Jones), Stephen's wife, the film depicts the life of the two from their early days at Cambridge through Stephen's deteriorating health and some of his most important work.
In advance of the TIFF screening, Hawking was able to see a sneak peek, and what he saw on screen left him in tears by the time the credits rolled. As a filmmaker, you probably have to take that as a sign that you did something right in your movie. This piece of information dropped during a Q&A session that followed the festival screening, and Redmayne shared some of his thoughts on what it was like playing one of the most brilliant human beings to ever live. That doesn't sound like there's any pressure or anything.
When Redmayne first met Hawking, he said the cosmologist was less than impressed with what he saw before him. The actor was so nervous that he just started rambling and spewing nonsense. At one point, he even noted that the two share an astrological sign, they're both Capricorns. Given that Hawking is a hard scientist, you can imagine how he might react to that, and he said, "I'm an astronomer, not an astrologer."
Redmayne also shared how went about preparing to depict the man's life on screen. Not only did he study Hawking's story in great detail, but he met with ALS patients to better portray the physicality of his struggle with the motor-neurone disease, and also employed a choreographer to map out Hawking's gradual physical decline as it played out throughout his life. Hawking even granted the production the right to use his voice synthesizer, which, over the years, has become so instantly recognizable.
The result is, as Hawking reportedly said after the screening as a nurse wiped the tears from his eyes, "broadly true."
If you haven't already, check out the trailer for The Theory of Everything, which opens in a wide release on November 7. If the early buzz out of Toronto is any indication, we could be seeing more of this one come awards season, especially for Redmayne.

You may have the best website in the world, but if nobody can recognize or remember your brand name, you won't have any luck generating or retaining a recurring audience. When you first launch your site, one of your first priorities should be building initial brand awareness—but how can you build awareness for a brand that didn't exist yesterday?
The secret is to use unconventional tactics; surprises and novelty are linked to memory, and can spread brand recognition faster than conventional means.
Be creative with your business and domain name. Your name should suggest what your business does in some way, and should be simple enough that it's spelled the way it sounds. Beyond that, you'll want to defy your industry conventions and avoid names that sound too typical for a business like yours. Plus, a weird or unconventional brand name will be cheaper (and available) as a domain, and easier for customers to remember when they want to revisit.
Name a star after your business. Is your business out of this world? You might consider naming a star after it. There are lots of stars out there—over 200 million in our galaxy alone—so why not immortalize your business by naming a star after it? The move is a bit obscure, but will cater to any audience interested in space or astronomy, and is sure to get you some raised eyebrows from everyone else.
Name a town after your business. If a star is too far away, you could consider naming a town after your business (and yes, that is possible). For a period of time, at least, Half.com managed to get the city of Halfway, Oregon to rename itself to Half.com. The company paid $110,000 for that right, and it only lasted a year, but it must have worked—the company was acquired by eBay just a few months later for $300 million.
Stage a publicity stunt. Publicity stunts are a bit risky, but if they pay off, they could lead to instant recognition of your brand. There are too many amazing examples here to name, but the Drum has a concise list of some of the best publicity stunts of our era. Some of these include the Uber ice cream promotion, Lyft taking advantage of "Back to the Future" Day, the Red Bull space jump, and Greenpeace scaling the statue of Christ the Redeemer.
Get the attention of a celebrity or influencer. You could also get initial attention by winning the praise or recognition of an important celebrity or influencer in your industry. Obviously, it's difficult to make these connections if they don't already exist, but offering something valuable could sweeten the pot.
Ride on the coattails of another business or organization. Finally, you could try to ride the coattails of another business or organization—like how "Dumb Starbucks" became an overnight sensation when it decided to obnoxiously parody the most successful coffee chain in America. You could also go a less antagonistic route by working together with a bigger brand on a collaborative project, or volunteering for a local organization to earn some extra press and visibility.
The real secret to effectiveness with unconventional tactics is knowing what works and what doesn't; you should be plugged into your ROI at all times. SAP's marketing analytics software offers all the tools you need to ensure your unconventional strategies hit the mark.

Пам'ять і похвала князю Володимиру - твір давньої української літератури (повний заголовок пам'ятника: "Пам'ять і похвала князеві руському Володимиру, як хрестився Володимир і дітей своїх охрестив, і усю землю Руську од кінця й до кінця, і як хрестилася бабуня Володимирова Ольга раніше Володимира. Списано Яковом Мніхом").

Найдавніша редакція «Пам'яті» не збереглася. Той текст, що відомий сьогодні, на думку дослідників, є компіляцією з власне «Пам'яті» і так званого "Древнього житія Володимира" з літописними замітками. Іноді перед ним ставлять самостійний пам'ятник - Похвала Ользі. Відновити історію створення «Пам'яті» складно, тому що всі списки пізні (XV-XVII ст.), а сама «Пам'ять», як і "Древнє житіє", на думку вчених, відносяться до XI ст. Найповніше дослідження було проведено О. Шахматовим, але не було завершене.

Власне «Пам'ять» була написана Яковом Мніхом саме пізніше в кінці XI ст. Для стиля Якова характерні складні синтаксичні періоди, ритмічна організація тексту. Він широко використовує асонанси, текст будується не тільки на співзвуччях і римуванні закінчень, а й на співзвуччі подібних префіксів (пра-, при-, пре-, про-) і коренів у словах, що відносяться  до різних частин мови (дієслово, іменник, прикметник, прислівник). За жанром твір Іакова - панегірик.

Частина «Пам'яті» від слів "Блаженний же князь Володимир, онук Ольги, хрестився сам і дітей своїх і усю землю Руську охрестив", що іноді переписувалася окремо, А. І. Соболевський запропонував назвати "Древнім житієм". Але в перших фрагментах цієї частини присутні всі характерні літературні прийоми Якова, за змістом вони тісно зв'язані з попередніми, безсумнівно, що належать Якову. На це вказував і Шахматов у "Розысканиях", пізніше він повернувся до точки зору Соболевського. Виділення житійної частини в «Пам'яті» певною мірою умовне і спирається тільки на випадок окремого існування "Древнього житія". Але тому що текст практично не відрізняється від того, що знаходиться в складі «Пам'яті», то скоріше можна говорити про вибірку з «Пам'яті». У цій частині викладаються основні події князювання Володимира, але не в правильному хронологічному порядку, а за довільно розташованими періодами. Спочатку говориться про військові походи Володимира після охрещення, потім розповідається про взяття Корсуня вже хрещеним Володимиром. Далі іде докладна розповідь про смерть князя, розрахунок років його життя після охрещення і коротка хронологія основних подій його життя після охрещення. Після цього автор повертається до опису подій до охрещення теж у рамках короткої хронології. Цього разу відправними точками є смерть батька Володимира - Святослава і єдина календарна дата - вокняжіння Володимира в Києві  11 червня 978 року. Границі текстів, що належать, безсумнівно, Якову і можливому другому авторові, не виявлені. Висловлювалися різні точки зору на те, коли могла бути створена компіляція (від XI до XV ст.). Очевидно, ще до XV ст. у «Пам'ять» була вставлена "Похвала Ользі".

Житійна частина «Пам'яті» є важливим джерелом по історії Київської Русі, тому що її укладач користувався не «Повістю временних літ», а попередніми її зведеннями (за припущенням Шахматова - «Найдавнішим зведенням» 1039 року), ранніми замітками житійного характеру про Володимира, а можливо, і усними переказами. У викладі історії князювання Володимира «Пам'ять» сильно розходиться з версією, прийнятою в «Повісті временних літ». Так, згідно з «Пам'яттю» Володимир прийшов до влади 978 року, а не 980, хрестився в Києві в 987 року, а не в 988 у Корсуні. Ця версія згадана в літописанні як невірна, але в наш час більшість дослідників вважають  правильною саме її.

Питання про особу Якова спірний. Макарій вважав його тим ченцем Києво-Печерського монастиря, якого Теодосій 1073 року хотів бачити своїм спадкоємцем. Йому ж він атрибутував "Сказання про Бориса і Гліба", але такому припущенню суперечать спостереження над стилем обох творів.

Oil prices extended their gains after a report showed US crude stockpiles fell by the biggest margin since December and were down for the fifth straight week.
Inventories of US crude fell by 5.25m barrels in the week ended May 5, according to the Energy Information Administration. That topped forecasts for a draw of 1.9m barrels. This was the largest streak of back-to-back declines in US oil stocks since September.
The larger-than-expected drop came alongside weaker imports, which averaged over 7.6m barrels per day last week, down by 644,000 barrels per day from the previous week. At 522.5m barrels, US crude oil inventories are near record levels.
Meanwhile, the report also showed that stocks at Cushing, Oklahoma decreased by 438,000 barrels, compared with expectations for a draw of 419,000 barrels.
Following the release, West Texas Intermediate, the US crude marker, was up 2.5 per cent to $47.03 barrel, while Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 2.4 per cent to $49.90 a barrel.
Despite expectations that Opec and Russia will extend their oil output cuts into the second half of the year, crude continues to trade below the $50 a barrel mark. Markets have grown anxious amid concerns that US production and the oil cartel's exports are undercutting production curbs. Moreover, concerns about a slowing Chinese economy have also dampened oil sentiment.


Cat Bates Sister Clasp Key Ring | Portland Dry Goods – Portland Dry Goods Co.
Crafted in Maine, the Sister Clasp Key Ring features a leather band for hooking to your belt loop or purse and finished with Cat Bate's signature sister Clasp.
Hand carved master. Lost wax cast in Rhode Island. This kind of mechanism is also referred to as a gangent hook, kissing clip, or brummel hook. When I was a kid my father first showed me how to make them using bolt cutters and chain links. The sides pass through each other when the slots are lined up precisely perpendicular to each other.
It takes a little practice at first, and soon becomes natural.


Quilts made from T-shirts are a great way to preserve memories and commemorate events such as graduation. The T-shirt material is stabilized and then cut into squares that are then sewn into a quilt top. Designs for this kind of quilt is as varied as your imagination. They can be assembled in a mosaic which takes advantage of all the different sizes of designs or logos involved. Or they can be assembled with sashing and corner stones if you do not have many T-shirts. You can make a nice throw size quilt with 9 T-shirts. The price for making T-shirt quilt includes cutting and stabilizing the shirts, sewing the block together with or without sashing, using an Edge to Edge quilting design and binding the quilt.
I ask my customers to provide a good quality 100% cotton quilting fabric for the back, binding and sashing and a quality 100% cotton or 80/20 blend for batting. Or I can provide for cost of materials. If you choose this option I will ask for a deposit of $150.
I can quilt an Edge to Edge quilt design on a T-shirt Quilt you have assembled for .02 a square inch.


Its October baby and I cannot be happier as its my favourite month of the year! Birthday is just four days away (Oct 7) and all I can think of is what to wear on the D-day. So, while scrolling through my Instagram the other day, I came across this page Chiaro by Devika Kalia and fell instantly in love with her designs. On being approached for a collaboration, there was no way I could say no to such a talented designer.
Each and every garment at Chiaro is unique in itself and projects an amazing work of art. What I loved more about the designs is that all outfits are made in a way that they enhance the feminine side of each woman.
Personally, I loved the way the dresses fit me! Trust me, I usually have a hard time with readymade garments – their measurements just don't seem right, but Chiaro gave me no reason to complain.
See the pictures and let me know if you like them!
The colour, the dramatic sleeves, the flow, everything about this dress is so gorgeous. I haven't worn anything like this on the blog before but after this, I feel change is definitely good!
This pink one-shoulder dress is completely different from the first one yet so perfect in its own way. It fits like a dream and the slit on it just adds an oomph factor which makes it so perfect for a date with your loved one.
Also, pink being one of my favourite colours, this dress has surely made it to my top list.
Since the colours are so vibrant, I've kept the makeup simple with classic smokey eyes and matching lips. Minimal accessories because I wanted just the dresses to steal the show and nothing else.


I did some more research. The fire take splace at 3:26, when the final switch is thrown. I believe it references March 26th, 1954, the date of the first detonation of a Hydrogen/Thermonuclear bomb(I haven't seen anyone talk about this at all...). This, along with 61|5491, is probably enough to confirm that there's definitely something going on here involving the A-bomb.
So how does the bomb tie in to everything? I believe that Leah represents humanity-as a whole. And "birdie", war, or the incentives to instigate war. This is why Leah is faceless-she was never supposed to be an individual with unique and defining features. The fire is supposed to be the aftermath of the Hydrogen Bomb. Humanity "slept it off" and ignored the issue. The critical thing to understand here is that the first H-bomb was several hundreds of times more powerful than the first Nuclear Bomb-truly able to wipe out the world. And that's precisely what happens.
The map. I've noticed that China, the USSR/Russia, and the USA disappear first. It'd make sense that they'd be the first nations to be annihilated in a global atomic war, due to political and tacticla reasons. And the last patches on the map to remain are central African nations, generally considered politically obsolete. Instead of nations being lost to the bombs, however, the map could also signal the sequence in which the nations receive nuclear weapons. Historically the USA, China, and the USSR were the first to have nuclear capabilities. And it makes sense that lesser nations due to technological issues and weak economic abilities would get them last. The bronze globe had an odor coming off of it. That's to say that humanity is rotten, or Earth is sick with radioactive fallout.
The ending? To be honest, this theory doesn't quite explain it either. She shot something-the gun was clearly not pointed at herself nor birdie, but down-and disappeared. So did birdie. All I could some up with is that she shot the world. Literally. Humanity wiped itself out with the bombs, and war naturally died as well. Or, alternatively, she emptied the gun-humanity dearming the nuclear bombs. Birdie no longer carried her because war no longer had a grip over humans, who after all the destruction and bloodshed finally came to their senses and made peace.
There is also this other theory that I came up with. The picture of the cells used is thta of the real-life bird flu. It could mean that instead of nuclear apocalypse the world is threatened by an epidemic. Thus, birdie would be the flu, whose being over Europe would mean that it's infected the continent. Leah would then be a scientist who's desperate for the cure. I theorize that she's an adult, but sees herself as a child because of all the death and destruction around her. Children were blissfully oblivious to many matters and being younger was a desperate means by which she attempted to cope with the world's end. But in the end I prefer the A-bomb theory, since those dates and times being there is pretty much undeniably referencing the nuclear bomb. At the same time though, the usage of the bird flu image could not have been a coincidence-Kan checks his image sources.
Again, all open to interpretation, as the man himself said, but this is what I believe, any thoughts?

Q: Search and write data from one file to another I need to write a C program to fetch data from one file and write it to another file, without using user defined functions. My requirements are to:

*

*Search customer details by Name.

*Store the transaction data (paid amount) in another text file.

I did the code to search by name. But its not working,
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main () {
   char name[10], nic[10], mobile[10];
   char fname[10], fnic[10], fmobile[10];
   char choice;
   int amount;
   FILE *cfptr;

   printf("Enter search type  - \n 1. NAME \n 2. NIC \n 3.MOBILE \n ----> ");
   scanf("%c", &choice);

        printf("Enter search text : ");
        scanf("%s", &name);

        cfptr = fopen ("customer.dat", "r");

        while (!feof(cfptr)){

            fscanf(cfptr, "%s %s %s", fname, fnic, fmobile);

            printf("Read Name |%s|\n", fname );
            printf("Read NIC |%s|\n", fnic );
            printf("Read Mobile |%s|\n", fmobile );
   }
   fclose(cfptr);
   scanf("%d", &amount);

   return(0);
}

customer.dat File
Shan    100012  200202
Marsh   121213  667675
Kim     126573  663412

This code is not complete asI cant filter the single name assigning
if(name == fname)

as am getting

assignment to expression with array type error

Can any one complete me the code to search and save to another file so I can do the amount calculation part?

A: few comments:

*

*when scanning the choice, read it as an integer and not as a character.

    scanf("%c", &choice); // change to scanf("%d", &choice);

*single '=' is an assigment, you meant comparison which is double '=='

    if(name = fname) // comparison is if(name == fname)

*in order to compare string, do not use '==' operator. use strcmp or implement an equivalent of strcmp.

A: int Search_in_File(char *fname, char *str) {
    FILE *fp;
    int line_num = 1;
    int find_result = 0;
    char temp[512];

    //gcc users
    //if((fp = fopen(fname, "r")) == NULL) {
    //  return(-1);
    //}

    //Visual Studio users
    if((fopen_s(&fp, fname, "r")) != NULL) {
        return(-1);
    }

    while(fgets(temp, 512, fp) != NULL) {
        if((strstr(temp, str)) != NULL) {
            printf("A match found on line: %d\n", line_num);
            printf("\n%s\n", temp);
            find_result++;
        }
        line_num++;
    }

    if(find_result == 0) {
        printf("\nSorry, couldn't find a match.\n");
    }

    //Close the file if still open.
    if(fp) {
        fclose(fp);
    }
    return(0);
}

A: Thanks for the effort, As with changes, I have changed my code as below and its working. Without checking with the name, I alternately checked with the nic.
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void){
    int nic, n, mobile;
    char name[30];
    FILE *aPtr;

    aPtr = fopen("Details.txt","w");
    if(aPtr == NULL){
        printf("File cannot be opened");
        return -1;
    }
    printf("Enter nic to search - ");
    scanf("%d", &n);
    fscanf(aPtr, "%d %-s %d", &nic, name, &mobile);

    while(!feof(aPtr)){
        if(nic == n){
            Printf("%d %s %d \n", nic, name, mobile);
        }
        fscanf(aPtr, "%d %s %d", &nic, name, &mobile);
    }
    fclose(aPtr);
    return 0;
}

Q: How to delete everything between two duplicates in an array? I am finding an augmenting path between two nodes using depthfirst and tracking the traversal along the way. However, I need to be able to delete everything between two duplicated indices in the traversal list. So if the list looked like
[1,2,4,3,7,4,6] where the start is 1 and the target is 6, I would need to output
[1,2,4,6]
I was thinking I could just use splice from the position of the first instance of the value up to the second, but I am having a hard time keeping track of when I find duplicates.
Any help would be awesome

A: Try this.
array1 = [1,2,4,3,7,4,6,8,9];
array2= [];
start = 1;
end = 6;
array3 = array1.slice();

array1.splice(array1.indexOf(end) + 1, array1.length-1);  // Remove extra elements after End Value i.e after 6

array1.forEach((element,index)=> {
    if(element>=start && element<=end) {
        if (array1.includes(element,index + 1)) {
            array2 = []
            array2 = array1.slice(
            array1.splice(
                array1.indexOf(element) + 1,
                array1.indexOf(end)- array1.indexOf(element)))
                return
        } else {
            array2.push(element)
        }
    }
});
array2.push(end);


Grzybowo is a mid-size village situated 6 km northeast of Wrzesnia on the road Wrzesnia-Witkowo. The impressive ramparts are clearly visible approx. 400 meters to the west from the elementary school, which is housed in an old manor of the Lutomski family (see the red dot on the map). It is one of the largest fortified settlements built in the early Middle Ages in Great Poland. The site covers an area of approx. 5 hectares. Even today, some segments of the ramparts reach a height of 8.5 meters above the moat. They are overgrown with old trees and dense bushes that has slowed erosion and contributed to the excellent preservation of the site (see aerial photo). The fortified settlement was surrounded by a number of villages (open settlements).
The archaeological excavation in Grzybowo has been conducted by Mariusz Tuszynski, author of this WWW site, on behalf of the Poznan Society of Friends of the Sciences. Dr. Zofia Kurnatowska from the Polish Academy of Sciences acts as the scientific consultant.

Philip Levine
January 10, 1928 -
Category: Poet
Subcategory: American Poet
But most commonly, it's one poem that I work on with a lot of intensity.
If that voice that you created that is most alive in the poem isn't carried throughout the whole poem, then I destroy where it's not there, and I reconstruct it so that that voice is the dominant voice in the poem.
I'm afraid we live at the mercy of a power, maybe a God, without mercy. And yet we find it, as I have, from others.
I'm seventy-one now, so it's hard to imagine a dramatic change.
My father died when I was five, but I grew up in a strong family.
Back then, I couldn't have left a poem a year and gone back to it.
My temperament is not geared to that of a novelist.
My sense of a poem - my notion of how you revise - is: you get yourself into a state where what you are intensely conscious of is not why you wrote it or how you wrote it, but what you wrote.
I realized poetry's the thing that I can do 'cause I can stick at it and work with tremendous intensity.
The irony is, going to work every day became the subject of probably my best poetry.
Meet some people who care about poetry the way you do. You'll have that readership. Keep going until you know you're doing work that's worthy. And then see what happens. That's my advice.
For sure I once thought of myself as the poet who would save the ordinary from oblivion.
No one can write like Vallejo and not sound like a fraud. He's just too much himself and not you.
I was very lucky to have a mother who encouraged me to become a poet.
But I'm too old to be written about as a young poet.
There'll always be working people in my poems because I grew up with them, and I am a poet of memory.
I listen to jazz about three hours a day. I love Louis Armstrong.
My mother carried on and supported us; her ambition had been to write poetry and songs.
Now I think poetry will save nothing from oblivion, but I keep writing about the ordinary because for me it's the home of the extraordinary, the only home.
I'm saying look, here they come, pay attention. Let your eyes transform what appears ordinary, commonplace, into what it is, a moment in time, an observed fragment of eternity.

Poll: Would you be interested in a second club night (potentially Thursday)?
This is a poll to gauge interest in having a second club night in the week. The initial proposal is to have it on a Thursday evening (booking slot permitting).
This is purely an additional evening and is in no way designed to replace a Tuesday evening. We understand that some people will only be able to attend one evening, some will be up for attending both, if this goes ahead. All are welcome on either evening.
Please encourage all fellow club members to vote in this poll. We need as many people to respond as possible to get a good idea of numbers.
Please feel free to add any discussion points in this thread.
I voted no - just purely personally, I struggle to find one free evening a week for gaming, yet alone two. I know there are plenty out there who would relish another evening each week though.
I voted yes but I would likely attend one or the other, I struggle to to get down as it is presently and the second night would be a nice alternative.
It's a no for me. Cannot do two nights and other arrangements have been made to keeps Tuesday night free for gaming. Eg Thursday is football training for my youngest and I take him.
I voted no only because I wouldn't be able to go a 2nd time in a week, not that I wouldn't want to! I may very occasionally go to a different night if I couldn't make a Tues.
Sounds like there is a lot of interest in a 2nd night so is worth a trial run.
I voted yes - currently I tend to go swimming or play Hockey on Thursday nights, but when the current season ends and Thursdays are free I would be interested getting in a second night some weeks.
Said yes - as give an alternative to when can't make a Tue. However think a trail would be beneficial as do not want to dilute Tues at the expense of an extra night.

Q: Blazor server class library not copying files in wwwroot I created a Blazor RCL class library that contains some base scripts/icons/styles in wwwroot to be added to the main app's wwwroot folder when deployed.
As mentioned in the documentation, files are supposed to be copied automatically into wwwroot/_content/My_RCL_Class/.
When I package my solution (that includes my RCL as well as the main app project) via docker some of the files included in wwwroot are indeed present, but not all - I checked project config file and all files are marked as content - Do not copy.
How can I ensure files located in the RCL's wwwroot folder are indeed copied to the _content subfolder?
