Q: Force download mp3 links in safari with content-disposition:inline I need to force download mp3 files from box.com. Unfortunately, Box adds content-disposition:inline header to all responses and there is no way to change this or set custom mimetype for file. So browsers stream file instead of downloading. And I cannot use any server-side solutions to change response headers for traffic reasons (all downloads should be done directly from box.com).
For Chrome/Chromium I can use html5 download attribute for <a>, but safari does not support it (tested with 5.0.4 on mac).
So what can be done for Safari? Maybe there are some JavaScript tricks or something?

A: Can you add a line to .htaccess to set the type?
AddType application/octet-stream .mp3

octet-stream will force a download.

WG to Offer ACA Compliance and Reporting Webinar on October 6
Regulations, Affordable Care Act, Health Care
Western Growers is hosting a webinar on Thursday, October 6, to help you avoid tax penalties and remain in compliance with the latest Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements.
Under ACA, employers with 50 or more full-time employees and equivalents must offer qualifying health benefits coverage to full-time employees and dependents at least once per year.
But did you know there are Employer Mandate penalties? Do you understand the appeal process if you receive an Employer Mandate Penalty notice? Did you know that if any of your full-time employees obtain subsidized health insurance exchange coverage, you will receive an exchange notice and may be subject to a tax penalty? Do you understand the pros and cons of filing an appeal? This webinar will help you address all those questions!
Being apprised of new ACA rules is one thing; making sure you've made requisite changes and can avoid tax penalties is another. In this webinar, you will learn:
Why employees might still seek a subsidy and what to do if a federal or state exchange notifies you
When to appeal and other options if you receive an exchange notice
What to look for in a plan to make sure you are compliant with ACA guidelines
What exposure to risk of penalties you may have and what changes you can make to avoid them
New updates about ACA reporting for reporting year 2016
Date: Thursday, October 6, 2016
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. PST
Speakers: Richard Hines, Large Group Regional Sales Manager, WG Insurance Services. Bio.
Jonathan Alexander, General Counsel, WG Assurance Trust. Bio.

In late January, an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) at the ITC tossed Barnes & Noble's mostly antitrust-related, conspiracy-theory-based, "patent misuse" claims against Microsoft ahead of trial in order to focus on the more relevant parts of the Android-related patent infringement investigation. Previously, the ITC staff ("Office of Unfair Import Investigations", OUII), which participates in many investigations as a third party representing the public interest, had already advocated that dismissal. And today, the Commission, the six-member decision-making body at the top of the U.S. trade agency, has fully backed the ALJ (and, by extension, the OUII).
SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that the U.S. International Trade Commission has determined not to review an initial determination ("ID") (Order No. 32) of the presiding administrative law judge ("ALJ)") granting complainant Microsoft Corporation's ("Microsoft") motion for summary determination as to respondents Barnes & Noble, Inc.'s and barnesandnoble.com, LLC's (collectively, "Barnes & Noble") first affirmative defense of patent misuse. The Commission has also granted Barnes & Noble's motion for leave to the Commission to consider respondents' late filed exhibits to their petition for review of the ALJ's ID.
Just to avoid misunderstandings: the second sentence doesn't mean a partial victory for B&N but makes its defeat even greater. It means that B&N's request for a review was denied even though material it belatedly provided was generously taken into consideration (it could have been left unconsidered for failure to meet a clear deadline).
An all-star team of lawyers was unable to convince even one of three different "layers" of the ITC (staff aka OUII, judge, Commission) that its "patent misuse" theories were even worth being discussed at a trial. Even if they had been admitted to a trial, they could have failed there, but by not even deeming them worthy of trial time, the ITC has shown that B&N's claims must be lacking in a fundamental legal sense.
Therefore, I would be very skeptical of the prospects of any (legally possible) subsequent attempts by B&N, such as raising the same "arguments" in a federal lawsuit or appealing today's Commission determination to the Federal Circuit, to resuscitate accusations that are, at this stage, dead in the water.
Whether Barnes&Noble will be found to infringe any of the three Microsoft patents still at issue in the ongoing investigation is another question. Right before the trial started, the ITC staff (OUII) recommended a finding of no violation, but it sometimes changes its position after the evidentiary hearing, and at any rate, the ALJ and, subsequently, the Commission are not bound by the staff recommendation in any way.
By the way, the fact that the ITC staff sides with B&N, at least before the trial, on the question of a violation shows that it's clearly not biased against the Nook maker.
From a strategic point of view, the decision on B&N's "patent miuse" claims is, however, much more important. Microsoft has many patents that read on Android (it is asserting more than two dozen patents against Motorola in different litigations, mostly in the United States but some of them also in Germany). It can always start new lawsuits over additional patents until B&N agrees on the need to take a license (as 70% of the market already has). But for the reasons I outlined before, B&N will hardly make headway with its primary defense, "patent misuse", in any jurisdiction.
Anyone who doesn't like Microsoft's Android patent licensing program has to oppose the patent system as a whole. Without patents, there wouldn't be patent licensing. As long as there is a patent system, Microsoft is allowed to do what it is doing. That's how one could paraphrase the ITC's outright dismissal of B&N's accusations.
Patent licensing and litigation can give rise to antitrust-based affirmative defenses, or even antitrust intervention, but the legal hurdle is rather high for the use of non-standard-essential patents to constitute abusive, anticompetitive conduct as compared to the use of standard-essential patents. There are valid reasons, from a policy point of view, for this. Patents that are not standard-essential can be worked around, even if features may have to be dropped or hobbled. The patents that form parts of standards can also be worked around before the techniques they cover become a mandatory part of an industry standard. A statement recently issued by European Commission Vice President Joaquín Almunia explains this fact, and other related considerations, very well. Let me add that the very process of standard-setting generally raises antitrust issues (because it typically means that the leading players in an industry sit down at a table and use their collective market power to define a future standard others are forced to implement), while a company's independent filing of a patent application is, per se, not a competition issue.

120 million batteries are purchased every year to power various devices and appliances in Switzerland. Approx. 68 % of these batteries are recycled, however, too many are still being disposed of in household waste. Valuable metals are lost as a result. By law, used batteries must be returned to retail outlets or taken to collection points.
The legislation differentiates between portable, automotive and industrial batteries. Accumulators are also classified as batteries. Batteries of all types are hazardous waste.
Portable batteries are very common and used in numerous electrical and electronic devices which are operated independently of mains electricity. Automotive batteries supply power for vehicle starters, lights and the ignition. Industrial batteries are used for a wide variety of industrial and commercial purposes. These also include batteries for electric vehicles and all batteries that are not included in the other two categories.
Ecological assessment
Batteries consist of valuable raw materials like iron, nickel, manganese, zinc and lead. Thanks to very strict limit values, they contain at most traces of harmful heavy metals like cadmium and mercury. The extraction of the raw materials from natural deposits has harmful impacts on the environment. The submission of batteries for recycling by consumers reduces the volume of new raw materials required. Despite the increased use of lithium, this light metal is still not recovered today.
Solar-powered devices, equipment with mains connections and rechargeable batteries (accumulators) offer possible alternatives to disposable batteries. The use of rechargeable batteries is recommended in devices that require a lot of power (toys, mobile telephones, MP3 players, digital cameras, torches, photo flashes). They can also be used in devices that do not require much power, however this is less worthwhile (remote controls, calculators, kitchen clocks). Disposable batteries usually last months or even a year in such devices.
Of the 120 million portable batteries (approx. 3,500 tonnes) sold annually, approx. 68 % are collected separately and recycled (recycling rate 2016: 67.8 %). The rest, that is 35 million batteries, are disposed of in household waste despite the fact that this is prohibited. Valuable metals are lost as a result.
Consumers are obliged to return waste batteries to a retail outlet or other collection point. According to the law, all suppliers of batteries, from large-scale distributors to kiosks, are obliged to take back waste portable batteries free of charge. Many communal collection points also provide containers for battery recycling.
Particular care must be taken when using lithium-ion batteries, which are used in model-making (e.g. model aeroplanes and boots). They usually take the form of angular packs of battery cells which have a connecting cable and no solid cover. Such batteries do not have any security mechanism and should be returned to specialist retailers. If they are placed in household battery collections, in the worst-case scenario, they can cause smouldering fires. If model-making batteries are included in sets of mixed batteries, they should be removed and disposed of separately for recycling. Lithium battery fires are best extinguished using sand.
Waste automotive and industrial batteries must also be collected separately and submitted for recycling. Their return to retail outlets or other authorised collection points is free of charge for consumers.
Disposal/recycling
Portable batteries have been recycled in Switzerland since the early 1990s. The recycling plant recovers iron, manganese, zinc and mercury and converts the pollutant substances that arise in the process into a non-damaging form. Nickel-cadmium, lithium-ion and lead batteries are separated prior to processing and sent to specialised companies for recycling, usually located abroad.
Authorised waste disposal companies collect automotive and industrial batteries and export them for recycling. Lead, plastics and battery acid are recovered from automotive batteries, and various metals are recovered from industrial batteries, depending on the type of battery involved. Exports of waste batteries are only allowed to OECD and EU states and authorisation from the FOEN is required. Exporters must demonstrate that the subsequent processing is environmentally friendly.
A prepaid disposal fee covers the cost of the collection, transport and recycling of waste batteries. The fee is included in the purchase price. It is set by the federal authorities based on the battery type and weight.
The organisation for battery recycling in Switzerland INOBAT, administers and spends the prepaid disposal fee on behalf of the FOEN. The INOBAT uses the proceeds from the fee to promote the return of batteries. The organisation also acts as a registration office for all batteries that are placed on the Swiss market.
The legislation contains provisions for the exemption of certain types of batteries from the prepaid disposal fee. The precondition for this is that the sector in question has a functioning collection system and secure financing system with a high return rate. This condition is considered as fulfilled for automotive batteries which have a return rate in excess of 95 %.
The INOBAT has the task of achieving this aim through the provision of better information in retail outlets and effective public awareness-raising.

Wagner becomes Lycoming's 26th Academic All-American
A LycomingFootball.com Photo
WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Senior Erik Wagner (Warriors Mark, Pa./Tyrone Area) is the fourth Lycoming College football player to earn First Team College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-American honors, as the tight end is the 26th athlete at the college to earn the honors, the organization announced on Wednesday, Dec. 13.
Wagner, a team captain, was a two-year starter for the Warriors at tight end. This season, he notched a career-high eight receptions for 42 yards and he was also the team's top special teams' tackler, with six stops. He finished second on team with nine special teams tackles in 2016.
A two-time MAC Academic Honor Roll pick as a biology major, the high school quarterback played multiple positions in his career for the Warriors, including safety and linebacker before finding a home as a tight end during his junior year.
Wagner is the football team's ninth Academic All-American, joining Tom Vanaskie (DB, 1974), Paul DeJoseph (DB, 1980), Mike Kern (DL, 1985), Jeff Mahalik (DB, 1992), Mitch Marzo (LB, 2000), T.J. Chiarolanza (K, 2010), Craig Needhammer (RB, 2014), and Austin Mital (OL, 2016).
Wagner is the Warriors' second Academic All-American in the calendar year, as senior Brandon Conrad(Bloomsburg, Pa./Bloomsburg Area) earned third-team honors in the at-large sports category in the spring. He is only the eighth student-athlete in program history to earn First Team Academic All-American honors and is the first since wrestler Isaiah Britton earned the honors in 2011.
To be eligible for the Academic All-American award, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 15,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA, covering all NCAA championship sports.
The Warriors finished 4-6 overall and 4-5 in the MAC, tying for sixth, under 10th-year head coach Mike Clark.

This week's focus is on our home victories over Ebbsfleet United and Solihull Moors that see's the Reds sitting pretty at the summit of the Vanarama National League table.
Wrexham AFC Website posted an update about Build The Budget. For our two league homes games in December all income above budget will be ring fenced and go directly to BuildTheBudget for Dean's first team playing budget as we plan our assault on the second half of the season.
The National League Website took quotes from our YouTube interview with assistant manager Andy Davies after our 1-0 win over Solihull Moors. Andy says Wrexham will not get carried away with sitting top of the pile at this stage.
Locally, the Leader covered both wins. They descibe Wrexham as playing well for the majority of the game against Solihull but say the reds didn't kill off the game with a second goal.
The Daily Post were present for Andy Davies' interview. The assistant took the press conference after the Solihull game and said the Dragons are not getting carried away with being top. The Post also reported on both games.
The Wrexham AFC Media Team posted a podcast from both games - well worth a listen as always!

Q: How to install apoc for neo4j? According to https://neo4j-contrib.github.io/neo4j-apoc-procedures/, one only needs to download the binary jar from  http://github.com/neo4j-contrib/neo4j-apoc-procedures/releases/3.1.0.3 to place into the folder "Neo4j CE 3.1.1\plugins".
I did so. However, I was unable to call "call apoc.help("apoc")" from the http://localhost:7474/browser/.

A: If you installed neo4j using a Windows or Mac installer (which most people do), and not from a zip or tar file, then the plugins folder should be in your database folder, not in your neo4j installation folder.
Here is a related answer with a little more detail: https://stackoverflow.com/a/42357481/974731.

A: according to documentation:
there are 2 types of APOC

*

*APOC Core

*APOC Full

first one included in the installation folder($NEO4J_HOME/labs) and for the second one u need to download it("Make sure that the first two version numbers match between Neo4j and APOC").
if u want to go with APOC Core just copy $NEO4J_HOME/labs/apoc-...jar file to the $NEO4J_HOME/plugins
and for APOC Full download the package then put it into $NEO4J_HOME/plugins directory. finally restart.
linux command for APOC Core assuming neo4j installed in /var/lib/neo4j:
sudo cp /var/lib/neo4j/labs/apoc-4.3.0.3-core.jar /var/lib/neo4j/plugins/
sudo chown neo4j:neo4j /var/lib/neo4j/plugins/apoc-4.3.0.3-core.jar
sudo systemctl restart neo4j

A: I'm using Red Hat Linux specifically Oracle-7 and here is how I got it working

*

*Download the apoc-<version>.jar into the /var/lib/neo4j/plugins directory

*chown neo4j:neo4j apoc-<version>.jar

*chmod 755 apoc-<version>.jar

*Open the neo4j.conf at /etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf and replace the line #dbms.security.procedures.whitelist=apoc.coll.*,apoc.load.* with dbms.security.procedures.whitelist=apoc.coll.*,apoc.load.*,apoc.* and save it.

*Restart the Neo4j service by issuing the command systemctl restart neo4j
Note: Make sure that you have the right version of apoc jar downloaded. I'm using the neo4j version 3.5.5 and the apoc jar version I'm using is apoc-3.5.0.3-all.jar. Alos make sure that you have the dbms.directories.plugins=/var/lib/neo4j/plugins uncommented in the /etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf

Many of you may know me. I may have taught you, your kids, or someone you know. I have been a teacher at Journey Middle School for 12 years. In those 12 years, I have never felt compelled to write a letter to the newspaper. Tonight, as I watch the news and listen to the radio, I feel like I owe it to you to let you know why I voted to escalate our job action.
If you are watching and listening to the media you undoubtedly are thinking teachers are walking out on Monday because we want a raise. Who doesn't want a raise? That would definitely be nice. However, I want you to know that I sat in a meeting today where the vast majority of teachers in the room agreed we would gladly take money off the table if the government were willing to negotiate on the issues we feel are the most important.
When I first started teaching I had 24 students in my class, and three students with special needs. Over the last few years, those numbers have both increased alarmingly. In recent years I have had between 30-35 students, and up to nine students with special needs in one room. This does not even include those undesignated students who are not working at grade level, or those with special social or emotional needs. In order to cope with these increasingly challenging classes, I just work longer and harder. I work with kids at lunch hour and after school, and I adapt and modify what I am teaching to try to reach as many students' needs as possible. I don't mind because I feel what I am doing is important and valuable, and worth it when I can help kids feel successful.
I teach math. In my classes I have to teach to multiple different levels and learning styles. I can do it because I am passionate about math, and I just work longer and harder. I tutor at lunch and after school and I run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to help those who need it, every single class. It doesn't take a mathematical genius to figure out that in a class of 30 or more, in a 50-minute period, with a 20-minute lesson or activity, there will be less than one minute per student if I divide up the time left equally among them. It just simply doesn't add up to an acceptable situation. I voted to escalate job action because if they make my classes any larger and put more students with special needs in them, with no extra support, then I quite simply don't think I could do it. I can barely do it now.
I spend thousands of dollars on my professional development. When I told my students the government wants to let my employer tell me what I should do for my professional development, and then evaluate me on how much I learned; they were incredulous.
I coach volleyball at Journey. I run practices one day a week and take students to games on another day. I love coaching because I get to know kids outside of the classroom, and help them learn to play and enjoy a game I have played my whole life. I had to cancel our game that was scheduled on Wednesday. I was near tears all day as I tried to reconcile my desire to support my team, with my need to support my union. When I voted to withdraw all voluntary services if Bill 22 is passed, I did so with a heavy heart. I voted to do this because I feel like taking a stand right now is so important and I pray that it will be worth it.
As we head into a time where emotions are running hot and people are looking for someone to blame, please remember there are more teachers out there like me, than not. I do not want to be on strike. I want to be in my classroom with my students. I just want my classroom to be one where every person's needs are met, including my own. I just want a fair contract that supports the needs of students and teachers. I want the government to act with honesty and integrity and to remember that we live in a democratic society.
I wanted to write this letter to this community that has become my home. I wanted you to know why I will walk out on Monday, and why I voted against my heart and with my head to escalate job action. I did it for you and me. Because we matter.
On the way out the door today, one of my students told me that she hopes that she gets to come back to school soon because she loves it. Me too.

Roughriders apologize to beef producers for ad that showed fans eating Beyond Meat burgers

The Saskatchewan Roughriders organization has distanced itself from an A&W ad that showed fans of the football club sinking their teeth into Beyond Meat burgers , after the commercial drew ire from ranchers.
The ad, which was filmed outside Mosaic Stadium during a Rider game, left a bad taste in the mouths of some ranchers. Enough so, it prompted the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association to reach out to the Riders after getting calls from producers.
Roughriders apologize to beef producers for ad that showed fans eating Beyond Meat burgers Back to video
"They were concerned about the Roughrider brand being leveraged to support the products in the commercial," said Chad MacPherson, the association's general manager.
Within 24 hours of contacting the Riders, members made the short walk from the association's headquarters on Regina's exhibition grounds to Mosaic Stadium for a meeting with the club.
The Roughriders chief brand officer, Anthony Partipilo, also wrote a letter addressing the complaints, which was posted on the Stock Growers Association's website. The letter explained the commercial was not intended make it appear the football club was withdrawing support for the beef industry, and that the Riders were not involved in its production.
"We understand this is a very sensitive issue for your membership and for Canadian ranchers and we apologize for any distress this may have caused," wrote Partipilo in the letter.
Partipilo said the Riders met with A&W last week to voice concerns about the ad. According to Partipilo, A&W said the ad was not meant to convince people to "stop eating beef." Partipilo said A&W's intent was to attract customers who normally don't eat beef for personal, dietary or religious reasons.
The letter went on to say the meeting was an opportunity to clear up misinformation that had been circulating about the ad.
Partipilo explained A&W is a corporate partner with the club, and has permission to use Roughriders branding in its advertising. Partipilo also said the people seen in the ad were real Roughrider fans and not paid actors.
"The fans featured in the commercial were approached by A&W as they came to the stadium for the game. They were not actors, but actual people voicing their opinion on a food product," said Partipilo.
When asked why the association wanted to meet with the Riders and not A&W, MacPherson said the chain has the right to promote its products "whether we agree with them or not or how they're promoting them." How much involvement the Riders had with the commercial was the question on producers' minds.
MacPherson said the meeting was cordial and productive. A follow-up meeting is scheduled to take place next week. Partipilo's letter said the club is willing to learn more about how it can help stock growers.
"We were appreciative of their openness and willingness to talk to us and hear concerns and to continue with the dialogue and see how we can work together going forward," said MacPherson.
A&W Canada could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
On Thursday, A&W Canada provided a statement to the Leader-Post regarding the ad. The company said it is reaching out to the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association to address their members' concerns. A&W said it remains an advocate of Saskatchewan beef, and that it buys "millions of pounds" of Canadian beef each year.
Here is the full statement:
"We are reaching out to the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association to address their concerns. It is important that they know we are advocates of Saskatchewan beef and our beef burgers firmly remain the most popular choice on our menu in the province. As a Canadian company born in the prairies, we appreciate how important agriculture is to Saskatchewan communities. Our commercial that celebrated Rider Nation and featured fans enjoying a Beyond Meat Burger runs for a few days more before we switch to a new campaign that features a new menu item for Saskatchewan: a 100% Prairie-Raised Bison burger.
A&W buys millions of pounds of Canadian beef every year and Saskatchewan is one of our largest sources of high-quality Canadian beef, a supply we constantly look to increase. We are proud of our ties to the Saskatchewan ranchers and farmers who also supply us with chicken, wheat, mustard and canola.
We have 46 restaurants in Saskatchewan, with the 47th opening in Saskatoon this year and the 48th to open next year in Regina. Many of our franchisees grew up on local farms and several are still farmers themselves. Our restaurants are staffed with 1,500 great Saskatchewan residents, and we have a long-standing commitment to giving back to Saskatchewan, including raising over a million dollars for MS in the province and a $5 million commitment to the Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence at the University of Saskatchewan."

Macomb Promotes Michigan's Defense Industry
Arsenal of Innovation
Macomb County delivers marketing materials promoting Michigan as the "Arsenal of Innovation"
In our previous issue, we reported that we were awarded a grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation to launch a statewide campaign to support and grow Michigan's defense industry.
Part of the grant included developing a new website, publishing a brochure and creating a video. To find the best-qualified vendor, an RFP was created and published on the Michigan Inter-governmental Trade Network. There were 15 responses from marketing agencies across the state. Each was reviewed and scored by a panel that included department Executive Director Stephen N. Cassin, Assistant County Executive Melissa Roy and Michigan Defense Center (MDC) Director Sean Carlson.
After much consideration, including one-on-one interviews with the top five candidates, Skidmore Studio of Detroit was selected. For several weeks they worked in close collaboration with Macomb County, the Michigan Defense Center (MDC) and the MDC's Marketing and Communications Task Force, which is made up of community partners involved in the defense industry. Collectively, we all banded together to provide necessary data, content and photographs that help brand the message that Michigan is the Arsenal of Innovation. The task was completed in time for a targeted launch at the Association of the U.S. Army (AUSA) Exhibition and Conference in Washington D.C., where we shared exhibition space with Automation Alley and 12 companies from Michigan.
See the newly created materials for yourself:

About Jay I. Kislak
Those of us who grew up in the Northeast thought American history began in 1620, when the Mayflower landed at Plymouth Rock. But decades before that, the Spanish settled St. Augustine, and even earlier, the French came to what is now Jacksonville [Florida]. Equally important are the native civilizations of the Americas--sophisticated cultures that thrived here long before Columbus.
-- Jay I. Kislak, Collector
More than a collector, Jay Kislak is a discoverer. His inquisitiveness and thirst for knowledge have inspired a lifelong love of books. Mr. Kislak and his wife, Jean, are avid collectors with far-ranging interests and the connoisseur's eye for quality.
Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, Mr. Kislak graduated from the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania in 1942 and served as a naval aviator during World War II. After the war, he entered the real estate brokerage and mortgage banking business founded by his father in 1906.
Early in his career, Mr. Kislak moved to Florida and began a fifty-year exploration of the early history of his new home. Attracted to rare maps and books, he began amassing a comprehensive collection on early Florida, the Caribbean, and Mesoamerica. Over the years, his interest deepened, and he acquired many rare books and manuscripts, focusing especially on the early years of European exploration.
Mr. Kislak and his wife, a former art curator, expanded their collecting to include artifacts produced by indigenous civilizations before Columbus. As a book collector, Mr. Kislak was intrigued by the art of the Maya--a highly literate culture that developed a complex system of hieroglyphs used to record their history in various ways: on architectural elements, pottery, personal items, as well as in books.
With Jay Kislak's gift to the Library, thousands of books and artifacts will become available to researchers and the public, through scholarly and education programs and exhibitions.

The guest book is a traditional part of any wedding. Books, though, can be put in a shelf and forgotten about, and all the happy sentiments your guests left will be lost to the dust bunnies.
Vintage typewriters, note cards and even puzzles will bring out the creativity of your guests and serve as an awesome keepsake that you can see and use every day. Some are obvious, like wall art, while others can become part of your new home, such as quilts, benches and decorative stones.


Lady Fraise (LF): When and why did you start taking pictures?
Bolega Niki (BN): I started dealing with photography 10 years ago. First I was interested in make-up photography the most and this set me off towards it.
LF: Do you work as a full time photographer?
BN: Yes, I've been working for 9 years as a photographer and I have no regrets. I am very lucky because I can do a job I truly love.
LF: How did you learn about the background and basics of photography?
LF: What do you like photographing the most?
BN: I like photographing people the most. Mainly composed portraits, but nowadays I'm shooting food more often because I became the photographer of Lila Füge magazine and I also really like that a lot.
LF: What do you think you can learn from photography?
LF: Is there something a picture can give you that other things can't?
BN: I don't see the point in comparing photography to other things. It gives each person something else. The most important thing for my photos is to make an impression on people. It is the best feeling when someone tells me that a picture of mine made her think or feel something.
LF: What would you advise to a beginner photographer?
BN: I would advise him or her to practice a lot. Anywhere, anytime. This profession is about learning all the time, and you can only progress if you are constantly taking pictures. We can never be good enough so I think being humble is the most important.

Patterns of cerebral-cortex messenger-rna expression
Bernal, J.
Godbout, M.
Hasel, K. W.
Travis, G. H.
Sutcliffe, J. Gregor
Journal of Neuroscience Research Journal
A pool of 163 clones, isolated by screening 60,000 members of a Macaca fascicularis cerebral cortex cDNA library with a cortex-minus-cerebellum subtracted probe prepared by the phenol enhancement method, was analyzed by Northern blot hybridization studies. One hundred fifty-three of these clones corresponded to 22 RNAs whose abundance was at least 2-fold higher in cerebral cortex poly(A)+ RNA samples than in samples of cerebellar poly(A)+ RNA. Seven of these RNAs, represented by 131 clones, were undetectable in cerebellum. Only 10 of the 163 clones proved to be false positives. The abundance of several of these cortex-enriched RNAs was altered in Alzheimer's disease brains. Several RNAs that were present in cerebral cortex but undetectable in cerebellum were generally enriched in telencephalon, although none was restricted to the cortex. One of the cortex enriched RNAs, whose nucleotide sequence is presented, encoded monkey preprocholecystokinin. Overall, this study provides insights into the powers and limitations of subtractive hybridization and into the patterns of gene expression in the central nervous system.

On average, people would need to consume about two thousand calories to stay healthy. That value can fluctuate depending on your weight, metabolism, muscle mass, level of activity, and many others. It is a known fact, however, that eating a lot of extra calories would lead to unwanted weight that will eventually cause some health hazards down the road. That is the reason why many companies in the food industry, McDonald's included, are working towards dishes that serve less calories but are still satisfying and delicious.
For those who would like to prepare such meals at home, there is a book that contains some great tasting recipes that can be applied at any day of the week, and at any time of the day. This will allow them to live healthier lives without having to starve themselves. These dishes also contain the required nutritional values so that they will not get left out when it comes to proper nourishment that the body needs. What is this book, and how can it be acquired? This article will try to explain all of this in detail.
The book is called 400 Calorie Fix, and this is intended for people who would like to have a decreased intake of calories in the meals that they eat every day. The 400 in the book's title does not only pertain to the number of calories, but also to the number of recipes available in this guide. Packed with four hundred delicious meals, this will add a lot of variety in your meals, allowing you to eat whatever you like without having to repeat the same dishes over and over.
This book is best for those who would need to go for restricted calorie diets, especially those who are overweight or obese. This will greatly help in controlling your weight, and there have been reports of people losing ten to fifteen pounds within just two weeks of eating the meals prepared using this guide. Also, this book is not a fad diet, as you are not restricting yourself to just certain types of foods. Also, the wide variety of dishes available is amazing, and it will be months before you even have to repeat a meal.
Not only are the dishes here good for you, but they taste well as well. Thus, you would not feel as if you are undergoing a diet, and you would look forward to preparing your next meal. These dishes can also be prepared at any time of the day, and in larger quantities, you can prepare healthy foods for everyone in the family. The instructions for each recipe are very clear and detailed, and there would be no guesswork involved. Lastly, the ingredients required are easy to acquire and are fairly cheap, so you can prepare foods that are delicious, nutritious, and delicious all at the same time.
If you want a cookbook that will help you control your weight, then this is the product for you. It contains over hundred meals that are easy to prepare, and are very satisfying indeed. There would be no more need for you to starve yourself and risk hunger cravings that would lead to overeating, and when combined with a proper exercise regimen, you can easily lose weight and take you off that plane of risk when obesity is concerned. You can order this great book online at a cheap rate, and you can start eating healthy in no time flat. This is probably the easiest and best way to lose that excess flab, which is why you should grab this opportunity while you still can.

St. Nersess Armenian Seminary is a seminary under the auspices of the Armenian Church of America, which is the American branch of the Armenian Apostolic Church. Since 2015, it has been located in Armonk, New York. It is the only Armenian theological seminary in the Western hemisphere. It was an idea of Archbishop Tiran Nersoyan, who served as the first dean. He felt that the then 19 priests in the Armenian Church in America could hardly support the more than 30 parishes and first proposed a seminary in America in 1947. The seminary is named after St. Nerses IV the Gracious, Catholicos of All Armenians from 1166 to 1173.

It was founded in 1961 in Evanston, Illinois and was the first Armenian seminary in the United States where it was originally affiliated with Seabury-Western Theological Seminary in suburban Chicago. in 1967, the seminary moved to New York, to bring the seminary closer to the geographical center of the diocese and to forge stronger ties with other churches of the East. Starting during this period the seminary became affiliated with St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary with whom it has maintained a close relationship, including a joint visit to his Holiness Karekin II, Catholicos of All Armenians. In 1978, the seminary purchased their own building in New Rochelle.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the seminary, a symposium on Armenian and Christian near East worship traditions was held, later collected in book form.

In 2012, a new campus was planned and built for the seminary in Armonk, New York which would open in 2015 and was formally dedicated the following year.

The seminary offers two graduate degrees, a Master of Divinity in conjunction with St. Vladimir's and a Master of Arts in Armenian Christian Studies. It also regularly offers exchange programs with the Armenian Patriarchate of Jerusalem's Sts. Tarkmanchatz School.

The seminary has published the St. Nersess Theological Review an Armenological publication since 1996. The journal is the  is the only English language academic journal dedicated to the study of Armenian Christianity.

Prezacor® was founded by two physicians, Dr. Gary Karpf and Dr. Robin Karpf. Together, they conducted ground-breaking research on how distortions in the physio-electrical properties of various tissues are intrinsically associated with pain.
Using their findings, Dr. Gary Karpf developed new technology designed to harness the body's own electromagnetic fields, while Dr. Robin Karpf designed the initial products for use in clinical trials. James Pachence, an experienced entrepreneurial manager of medical devices, recently joined the Prezacor team to organize its business strategy and provide commercial development expertise.
The Prezacor scientists created a thin, flexible semi-conductor device that can accept an electrical charge, act as a capacitor (holding a charge for a significant period of time), and then release the accumulated energy at lower frequencies and intensities. Our scientists found that this unique broad-area surface electrode, which they dubbed the Energeze® Patch, delivers low wavelength energy when placed on the body that produce a soothing relaxation response.

2 Underlying results are stated before exceptional items and intangible amortisation.
3 Throughout this announcement we refer to a number of alternative performance measures which are defined in the Glossary on page 36 of the full release.
"I am delighted to be able to report another very successful year for Ashtead with rental revenue increasing 21% and underlying pre-tax profit increasing 21% to £927m, both at constant exchange rates.
Our end markets remain strong and are supported by the continued structural changes in our market as customers rely increasingly on rental while we leverage the benefits of scale. We continue to execute well on our strategy through a combination of organic growth and bolt-on acquisitions, investing £1.2bn by way of capital expenditure and £392m on bolt-on acquisitions in the year.
Our strong margins and lower replacement capital expenditure are delivering good earnings growth and significant free cash flow generation. This provides us with significant operational and financial flexibility, enabling us to invest in the long-term structural growth opportunity and enhance returns to shareholders while maintaining leverage within our target range of 1.5 to 2.0 times net debt to EBITDA. We have spent £200m under the share buyback programme announced in December.
Analysts and bondholders have already been invited to participate in the analyst meeting and conference call for bondholders but any eligible person not having received dial-in details should contact the Company's PR advisers, Maitland (Audrey Da Costa) at +44 (0)20 7379 5151.
Group revenue for the year increased 16% to £3,706m (2017: £3,187m) with strong growth in each of our markets. This revenue growth, combined with our focus on drop-through, generated underlying profit before tax of £927m (2017: £793m).
The Group's strategy remains unchanged with growth being driven by strong organic growth (same-store and greenfield) supplemented by bolt-on acquisitions. Sunbelt US, A-Plant and Sunbelt Canada delivered 20%, 13% and 152% rental only revenue growth respectively. The significant growth in Sunbelt Canada reflects the acquisition of CRS in August 2017.
Sunbelt US's revenue growth demonstrates the successful execution of our long-term structural growth strategy. We continue to capitalise on the opportunity presented by our markets through a combination of organic growth (same-store growth and greenfields) and bolt-ons as we expand our geographic footprint and our specialty businesses. We added 62 new stores in the US in the year, around half of which were specialty locations.
Rental only revenue growth was 20% in strong end markets. This growth was driven by increased fleet on rent, with yield flat year-over-year. Sunbelt US has made a significant contribution to the clean-up efforts following hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. While it is difficult to assess the overall revenue impact of these efforts, we estimate that these events resulted in incremental total rental revenue in the year of c. $100m. Average physical utilisation for the year was 72% (2017: 71%). Sunbelt US's total revenue, including new and used equipment, merchandise and consumable sales, increased 18% to $4,153m (2017: $3,525m).
A-Plant generated rental only revenue of £344m, up 13% on the prior year (2017: £304m). This was driven by increased fleet on rent, partially offset by yield. The adverse yield reflects a combination of product mix and rate pressure in the competitive UK market. A-Plant's total revenue increased 13% to £472m (2017: £418m).
The acquisition of CRS in August 2017 more than doubled the size of the Sunbelt Canada business. The underlying business performed strongly with rental revenue growth of 20% and, with the addition of CRS, Sunbelt Canada generated revenue of C$223m (2017: C$77m) in the year.
We continue to focus on operational efficiency and improving margins. In Sunbelt US, 50% of revenue growth dropped through to EBITDA. The strength of our mature stores' incremental margin is reflected in the fact that this was achieved despite the drag effect of greenfield openings and acquisitions. This resulted in an EBITDA margin of 50% (2017: 50%) and contributed to a 20% increase in operating profit to $1,293m (2017: $1,081m).
A-Plant's drop-through of 36% reflects its greater proportion of specialty businesses and ongoing integration of recent acquisitions. This contributed to an EBITDA margin of 35% (2017: 37%) and an operating profit of £70m (2017: £72m), representing a good performance in a competitive market.
Reflecting the strong performance of the divisions, Group underlying operating profit increased 16% to £1,037m (2017: £898m). Net financing costs increased to £110m (2017: £104m) reflecting higher average debt levels. As a result, Group profit before amortisation of intangibles, exceptional items and taxation was £927m (2017: £793m). After a tax charge of 32% (2017: 34%) of the underlying pre-tax profit, underlying earnings per share increased 22% to 127.5p (2017: 104.3p). The reduction in the Group's underlying tax charge from 34% to 32% reflects the reduction in the US federal rate of tax from 35% to 21% with effect from 1 January 2018, following the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The cash tax charge was 10%. This reflects the lower federal tax rate in the US from 1 January 2018 and full expensing of capital expenditure from 27 September 2017.
Exceptional net financing costs of £22m (including cash costs of £25m) related to the redemption of our $900m 6.5% senior secured notes in August 2017. After the net exceptional charge of £22m (2017: £nil) and amortisation of £43m (2017: £28m), statutory profit before tax was £862m (2017: £765m).
The exceptional tax credit of £401m consists of principally a credit of £402m arising from the remeasurement of the Group's US deferred tax liabilities at the newly-enacted US federal tax rate of 21% rather than the historical rate of 35%. As a result, basic earnings per share were 195.3p (2017: 100.5p).
Capital expenditure for the year was £1,239m gross and £1,081m net of disposal proceeds (2017: £1,086m gross and £917m net). Reflecting this investment, the Group's rental fleet at 30 April 2018 at cost was £6.6bn. Our average fleet age is now 32 months (2017: 29 months).
We invested £392m (2017: £437m), including acquired debt, in 17 bolt-on acquisitions during the year as we continue to both expand our footprint and diversify into specialty markets.
We expect a similar level of capital expenditure next year, consistent with our strategic plan, which anticipates high single digit to low teen growth through to 2021.
Sunbelt US's pre-tax return on investment (excluding goodwill and intangible assets) in the 12 months to 30 April 2018 was 24% (2017: 22%). In the UK, return on investment (excluding goodwill and intangible assets) was 11% (2017: 13%). In Canada, return on investment (excluding goodwill and intangible assets) was 11% (2017: 6%). For the Group as a whole, return on investment (including goodwill and intangible assets) was 18% (2017: 17%).
As expected, debt increased during the year as we continued to invest in the fleet and made a number of bolt-on acquisitions. This was partially offset by £140m of currency translation benefit as sterling has strengthened since 30 April 2017. During the year, we spent £161m on share buybacks.
Net debt at 30 April 2018 was £2,712m (2017: £2,528m) while, reflecting our strong earnings growth, the ratio of net debt to EBITDA was 1.6 times (2017: 1.7 times) on a constant currency basis. The Group's target range for net debt to EBITDA is 1.5 to 2 times.
The Group's debt package remains well structured and flexible, enabling us to take advantage of prevailing end market conditions. Following the issue of the 4.125% $600m senior secured notes due in 2025 and the 4.375% $600m senior secured notes due in 2027, and the redemption of the 6.5% $900m senior secured notes in August 2017, the Group's debt facilities are committed for an average of six years.
At 30 April 2018, availability under the senior secured debt facility was $1,115m, with an additional $2,329m of suppressed availability – substantially above the $310m level at which the Group's entire debt package is covenant free.
In accordance with our progressive dividend policy, with consideration to both profitability and cash generation at a level that is sustainable across the cycle, the Board is recommending a final dividend of 27.5p per share (2017: 22.75p) making 33.0p for the year (2017: 27.5p), an increase of 20%. If approved at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting, the final dividend will be paid on 14 September 2018 to shareholders on the register on 17 August 2018.
a progressive dividend with consideration to both profitability and cash generation that is sustainable through the cycle.
Additionally, we consider further returns to shareholders, balancing capital efficiency and security with financial flexibility in a cyclical business and an assessment of whether it would be accretive to shareholder value. In this regard, we assess continuously our medium term plans which take account of investment in the business, growth prospects, cash generation, net debt and leverage.
In December 2017, we announced a share buyback programme of at least £500m and up to £1bn over the following 18 months. At the date of this announcement, we have spent £200m under this programme and now expect to spend a minimum of £600m.
All our divisions continue to perform well in supportive end markets. Thus, with a strong balance sheet to support our plans, the Board continues to look to the medium term with confidence.
The responsibility statement below has been prepared in connection with the Company's Annual Report & Accounts for the year ended 30 April 2018. Certain parts thereof are not included in this announcement.
the Annual Report and financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and understandable and provide information necessary for shareholders to assess the Group's performance, business model and strategy.

Do you know who you are? Perhaps you've embarked on a journey to discover your authentic self just as I have after I was diagnosed with breast cancer…for the second time.
Too often, it is easier to only show the parts of yourself you feel will be accepted and judged appropriate.
This month is about mothering yourself. So reclaim your life and jump back in with power and passion.
Treat yourself with Tender Loving Care and no more being the good girl who wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings or disappoint anyone else so you settle for the fuzzy end of the lollipop. Yes, the world needs followers as well as leaders.
Why does it always have to be about one person winning and everyone else loses?
It's not about winning or losing; it's about respect and awareness.
It's not about judgment and who is right…it's about everyone being heard.
So when is it "appropriate" to speak up about what you want?
Let the world know it's your turn to be heard. As convenient as it would be to have people read your mind and not have to tell them what you want, you're just going to have to speak up.
Regardless of whether your "office" is on Market Street, Main Street, Wall Street, or behind the wheel of a mini-van barreling down Any Street, this "Voiceless Syndrome," presents a common dilemma.
You have to speak up…to reclaim your life.
Don't look at your life and wonder…what part of it is mine?
It's your life…claim time for yourself to live a life unleashed.

Q: Embed HTML table in email Is it possible to send a table (coded in html) as the body of an email so that the recipient is able to view the table (parsed and displayed).
For example, I want to be able to send this as the body of an email:

             col1
             col2

So that the recipient sees col1 col2.
I've read in some places that it's not possible and that I must use the table creator provided by the email service, but I'd just like to confirm to see if it's possible or not.

A: This will depend on the recipient's email client.  Some display in HTML, others only display plain text.

A: You can not directly use HTML or Body tag when you embedding HTML in c# string as it already going to display inside HTML Page. Below is a simple table format.
        body += "
"

        body += "
"
        body += " Name :  	"
        body += "" + Name + "	"
        body += "
"
        body += "
"
        body += " Application ID :	"
        body += "" + ApplicationID + "	"
        body += "
"
        body += "
"
        body += " Passport No :	"
        body += "" + PassportNo + " 	"
        body += "
"
        body += "
"
        body += " Voucher No. :	"
        body += "" + VoucherNo + "	"
        body += "
"
        body += "
"
        body += " Date :  	"
        body += "" + PDate + "	"
        body += "
"
        body += "

"

You can also do styling like below
Example
body+="Hello World!	"

A: You can send an email with a table inside it containing data. Just make sure you style it as a 'table containing data'. Use this as an example.
This is if you are building an email.

    head

      body

           data
           info

A: You can create the table in HTML, open it up in a browser and copy & paste it into Outlook (based on the extra information you've provided in comments)
Outlook will make sense of your HTML, and provide in the same format as you pasted it.
If the client is using a text only e-mail (less likely nowadays - with most smartphones parsing HTML emails) then it will just appear a similar way to:
Header| Header 2 | Header 3
Test  | test     |  Test
Test  | test     |  Test
Test  | test     |  Test

Without any styling.

A: Some years ago I found that you can insert a table in the email body when using Thunderbird.  Since then I have switched to mutt. So, out of curiosity, I created a table in html by using latex2html on a simple latex table. I then opened the mutt editor to create an email and copied and pasted the html code into the mutt editor and closed it to go to the mutt compose menu. Before sending the email, I used Ctrl-t to edit the content type and change it from "text/plain" to "text/html". Upon sending the email and opening it in gmail in a browser, the table appeared exactly as I would have wanted.
So, in summary, one can paste an html table into the mutt editor (vim, in my case) and just change the content type before sending it.

Monitor webcams and surveillance cameras.
Pry into the lives of dozens of subjects.
Interact (or not!) with fun, cruel, horrific, surprising, dramatic or sci-fi themed narratives.

Browse through social networking profiles and online stores — and use chat logs, email tools and more!
Manage your resources: Will you spend all your savings on buying more "cages," or will pay rent? Are you healthy enough to work? How many sleepless nights can you stand before collapsing from exhaustion?
Make choices that affect the outcome of the game's climactic ending.
Do Not Feed the Monkeys will be available on Steam (Windows) in 2017. Pricing and exact launch date will be announced at a later date.

Congrats to @thecivilwars! You make Nashville proud! Also, best of luck to @davebarnesmusic tonight!


Apple introduction of Swift, a new programming language for the OS X and iOS platform, has sparked some interest from the developers' community. In just a couple of days, almost 500 questions have been already asked on Stack Overflow, while a GitHub query shows that there are already about 350 repositories written in Swift.
Apple has made freely available on iTunes "The Swift Language Reference" ebook. Accessing iTunes requires an Apple device, though, but there is a chance to learn the language for anyone else, too. The same content is indeed also available on Apple website in HTML format. Given the novelty of the language, this ebook is definitely the fundamental resource and covers all the aspects of the language, including interoperability with C/Objective-C.
Possibly one the most precious resources out there to read the news about the language and in-depth posts about its features.
From RayWenderlich.com, a short presentation of some of the new features that Swift introduces from the perspective of an Objective-C programmer: type inference, generics, switch statements, and constness.
The collection of Swift tutorials available on Ray Wenderlich's site is already big and covers the basics of the language, as well as simple apps written in Swift and using several iOS frameworks.
Mike Ash explores "a few Swift features that are interesting and unusual from the perspective of Objective-C."
Step by step guide by Mark Petherbridge describing how you go about creating a bridging header to be able to use an Objective-C class from Swift.
A five-part series tutorial by Jameson Quave to start developing iOS apps with Swift from the ground up. The tutorial covers the following topics: creating an "hello world" app; making web API requests and parsing the resulting JSON; best practices using protocols and delegates; interactive table views; async image loading and caching.
Another resource from RayWenderlich.com summarizing the most important Swift syntax in one page. It covers: class implementation, methods declaration, object instantiation/use, variable declaration, control flow, strings/array/dictionary quick examples.
Comparison between Swift and Scala syntaxes covering control flow structures, expressions, declarations, patterns, and types.
A basic comparison of C# and Swift Syntax. Also, don't miss the discussion on r/programming.
The aim of this blog is to understand how functional elements of F# and Scala can (or can't) be implemented in Swift.
A post dedicated to closures in Swift and how they can be used to build filter, map, and reduce sequence operations.
A library for functional programming that defines purely functional data structures and functions.
