Seoul, South Korea Culture and Transport
By franciscogardening January 22, 2022 Asia 0 Comments
According to Physicscat, Seoul is home to more than 100 museums, including three national and nine official municipal museums. The National Museum of Korea is the most representative of museums, not only in Seoul, but of all those in South Korea. Since its inception in 1945, the museum has created a collection of 150,000 objects. In October 2005, the museum moved to a new building in the Yongsan Family Park. The National Folk Museum is located on the grounds of the Gyeongbokgung Palace in the Jongno-gu district and uses replicas of historical objects to illustrate the popular history of the Korean people. Bukchon Hanok and Namsangol Hanok are old residential neighborhoods consisting of traditional Korean Hanok houses, parks, and museums that allow visitors to experience traditional Korean culture. The War Memorial, one of nine municipal museums in Seoul, offers visitors an educational and emotional experience of the various wars Korea was involved in, including themes from the Korean War.
The Seoul Art Museum and the Ilmin Art Museum have preserved the look of the old building that is visually unique among the modern and tall building neighbors. The former is operated by the Seoul City Council and sits next to the Gyeonghuigung Palace, a royal palace from the Joseon dynasty. For many Korean film lovers around the world, the Korea Film Library is in charge of the Korea Film Museum and the KOFA Cinematheque at its main center which is located in Digital Media City (DMC), Sangam-dong. The Tteok and Kitchenware Museum and the Kimchi Country Museum provide information on the culinary history of Korea.
The Hello! Seoul Festival is a seasonal cultural festival held four times a year in spring, summer, fall and winter in Seoul since 2003. It is based on "Seoul Citizens' Day," celebrated in October every year since 1994 to commemorate the 600-year history of Seoul, the country's capital. The festival is organized under the Seoul Metropolitan Government.
Namsan Park offers hiking, recreational activities, and views of downtown Seoul's skyscrapers. The N Seoul Tower is located here. Seoul Olympic Park in Songpa-gu and was built to host the Olympic Games Summer 1988. The 10-level Wongaksa Pagoda is located in Tapgol Park, a small public park with an area of 19,599 m2. The areas around the streams serve as public places for recreation and recreation. The Tancheon stream and its surroundings serve as a large park with footpaths and bike paths. Cheonggyecheon, a stream that runs about 6 kilometers through central Seoul, is popular with Seoul residents and tourists. The Seoul metropolitan area accommodates six major parks, including the Seoul Forest, which opened in mid- 2005.. The Seoul National Capital Area also contains a green belt to prevent the city from spreading into neighboring Gyeonggi Province. These areas are often sought after by people looking to escape urban life on weekends and during vacations.
Seoul is also home to the world's largest indoor amusement park, Lotte World. Other recreation centers include the Olympic and World Cup stadiums and the City Hall public field.
Seoul offers one of the most advanced transportation infrastructure in the world that is constantly expanding. Its system dates back to the time of the Korean Empire, when the first tram lines were laid out and a railway between Seoul and Incheon was completed. Seoul's main tram line ran along Jongno until it was replaced by Subway Line 1 in the 1970s. Other notable streets in central Seoul include Euljiro, Teheranno, Sejongno, Chungmuro, Yulgongno, and Toegyero. There are nine metro lines, stretching for more than 250 kilometers, with an additional line planned.
The Seoul bus system is operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Government, with four primary service bus configurations available in most parts of the city. Seoul has several large intercity / express bus terminals. These buses connect Seoul with cities in South Korea. Seoul Express Bus Terminal, Central City Terminal, and Seoul Nambu Terminal are located in the Seocho-gu district. In addition, the Seoul East Bus Terminal in Gwangjin-gu and the Sangbong Terminal in Jungnang-gu operate in the east of the city. To reduce air pollution in the metropolitan area, the municipal government has been trying to convert more than 7,000 of Seoul's diesel-powered buses to run on natural gas.
Seoul has an extensive subway network that connects all the neighborhoods of the city and its surroundings. With more than 8 million passengers per day, Seoul is one of the busiest subway systems in the world. The Seoul Subway has 12 lines, serving Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi and northern Chungnam Province. In addition, in order to cope with various modes of transportation, the Seoul Metropolitan Government employs various mathematicians to coordinate subway, bus and transit schedules on a calendar. The different lines are run by Korail, Seoul Metro, Seoul Metropolitan Rapid Transit Corporation, AREX, and Metro 9.
Seoul is connected to major cities in Korea by train. Seoul is also linked to major Korean cities by the KTX high-speed train, which has a normal operating speed of more than 300 km / h. The main railway stations are:
Seoul Station, Jung-gu: Gyeongbu Line (KTX / Saemaul / Mugunghwa-ho), Gyeongui Line (Saemaul / Commuter)
Yongsan Station, Yongsan-gu: Honam line (KTX / Saemaul / Mugunghwa), Jeolla / Janghang lines (Saemaul / Mugunghwa)
Yeongdeungpo Station, Yeongdeungpo-gu: Gyeongbu / Honam / Janghang lines (Saemaul / Mugunghwa)
Cheongnyangni Station, Dongdaemun-gu: Gyeongchun / Jungang / Yeongdong / Taebaek lines (Mugunghwa)
Seoul has two international airports. Gimpo International Airport, formerly in Gimpo, but annexed to Seoul in 1963, was for many years (since its original construction during the Korean War), the only international airport serving Seoul. Other national airports were also built around the time of the war, including Yeouido.
When it opened in March 2001, Incheon International Airport on Yeongjong Island in Incheon changed the role of Gimpo Airport significantly. Incheon is now responsible for almost all international flights and some domestic flights, while Gimpo only serves domestic flights, with the exception of flights to Tokyo International Airport (Haneda) in Tokyo, Osaka Kansai International Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. This has led to a significant drop in flights from Gimpo Airport.
Meanwhile, Incheon International Airport has become, along with Hong Kong, a major transportation hub for East Asia.
Incheon and Gimpo are linked to Seoul by roads, and to each other by the Incheon International Airport Railway, which is also linked to Incheon Line # 1. Gimpo is also linked to subway (Line # 5 and # 9). The Incheon International Airport Railway, which connects the airport directly to Seoul Station in downtown Seoul, was laid out. Shuttle buses also transfer passengers between Incheon and Gimpo airports.

Steels containing 0.25% carbon, 0.03% sulfur and 0.3 to 1.2% manganese were melted and quenched at various temperatures between the final stage of solidification and 400°C. The number, volume fraction and distribution of sulfides were investigated in connection with the grain boundary and dendritic structure.
Sulfides were grouped into two categories; the first was crystallized by a eutectic reaction and the second was precipitated from solid steel. The increase in manganese content and cooling rate was favorable to the formation of eutectic sulfides. These were mainly distributed at grain boundaries and interdendritic regions. On the other hand, precipitated sulfides increased in number as the manganese content and cooling rate decreased. These sulfides were classified into the colony type and non-colony type. The former was observed mostly at grain boundaries, and the latter tended to be precipitated within grains and dendrite arms.


If you read our latest post, you'll know that recently we have been doing a lot of interesting work around the relationship between digital inclusion and public libraries. As part of this, we thought it would be really helpful to get out there and go on a few visits to understand more about the benefits and practicalities of offering wifi in libraries.
We visited a couple of libraries in London and East Sussex to capture what the offers are in places with different demographics and speak to staff members and a few users about why they go to libraries and what could be done to make them even better.
1. Increased broadband in rural areas. In rural areas in East Sussex, there is currently limited broadband access. Many people do not have a home computer as they can't rely on broadband provision. However, by the end of 2015, it is projected that 96% of households in the area will have broadband. The library predicts that there will be a large requirement for support and assistance among a population that is generally older, rural and non-digital.
2. Digitisation of government services. Some libraries are already seeing an increase in demand due to an increase in digital services, and are seeing referrals from public service providers such as Jobcentres. Other libraries are "waiting in anticipation" for the rush of community members coming for help as public services digitise. "We're waiting for the tipping point. We probably are not seeing the full state of demand yet".
Libraries that had installed wifi reported an increase in footfall as a result. Smaller libraries were even struggling to cope with the demand; for example, one staff member said that "every windowsill is crammed with people using a laptop or tablet". Staff in libraries without wifi believed that they were losing potential customers because they could not provide a digital offer expected by their customers and they are "turning people away because we don't have wifi".
We learned that people tend to come to the library to access the internet, even when they have home access. This is motivated by various reasons including wide resources on offer such as printing and borrowing books and the opportunity to interact with other people in their local community.
For some libraries such as the one in Southwark, good transport links make it a popular place for commuters through the area to use. People running small businesses and students often camp out for hours on end.
There are some communities that have no computers by choice; however, they come in to use wifi in the library when absolutely necessary, for example doing school work or applying for something online. Parents who want to limit their children's internet use find the library to be a very appealing place, as it offers a safe space, limit on use and filters or restrictions.
For some people, the library may be the only way to access the internet.
Although the benefits of wifi in libraries are clear, sometimes there are practical considerations that aren't always as clear. Some practicalities appear to be simple but in reality are a lot more complicated. For example, libraries need a sufficient number of accessibly located plugs for people to charge their devices if they want to use the wifi for an extended period of time. Staff in libraries where wifi had been installed mentioned that design and layout were important considerations and had to be given careful thought in order to maximize the benefits of wifi. As one library staff member observed, "space is as important as computer access". In one area, a librarian said that wifi was being put into their larger sites only, as some of the smaller libraries would not be able to contain demand.
Another consideration is the use of fixed terminals versus space for users to use mobile devices. PCs are needed for users who don't have their own personal devices and for important services such as printing. Again, space is noted as a big issue to putting wifi in libraries as it can potentially exclude a certain user group. On the other hand, the use of PC terminals often knocks out study space for other library users. These are some of the issues that arise, however there is an argument that wifi could make the library space more flexible and therefore more inclusive.
Some more considerations include choice of wifi provider. This relates to the ability to brand login pages, to create an association with the library, security and filtering of content and customer support.
In East Sussex, we met a woman with a fifteen year old son who runs a small business, a free range egg farm which delivers produce locally. While she does her deliveries she drops her son at the library "because it's safe". She's "always looking for a place to leave him while doing deliveries".
They have no electricity at their home, let alone internet access and her son is home schooled. He "reads a lot of books" which he downloads onto his kindle however the only way he can do this is from the library. The mother would like if it the library offered free wifi that could be accessed reliably, easily and safely for her son and safety is a big concern. She particularly likes the library because computer use is time restricted and content is filtered.
However, her son isn't the only one who benefits from the library. She uses the computer terminals to check emails, looking up information for her business and recently, she renewed her car tax online. She says "A library is an important part of the local community" and says she relies on the library as it is the "only place I can access the internet".
We also met a man in East Sussex who spends around 6 hours a day in the library. He says the free wifi connection at the library is the key reason for him visiting. He is unemployed and so he brings his laptop and uses the free wifi to access the internet and to search for jobs. He also uses google maps to work out where potential jobs are and how to get to interviews. He says it's "better to be here than at home" however also says "if it wasn't free I would be at home". He uses his own laptop to do his work and has recently started applying for benefits online as he "had to do it on the internet". As English is his second language, he finds online forms "very tricky" but is hesitant to ask for any help from library staff as he "doesn't want to be in trouble" and is already grateful for the free wifi at his disposal.
He thinks that free wifi in all libraries is a "good idea" and a "good economical thing" for people. He says the internet gives people "an advantage for everything".

COMIC BOOKS & THE TWILIGHT ZONE VisuaLecture at New York Wintercon!
Saturday, December 2 @ 2pm
Resort World Casino, New York
Did Rod Serling, creator and head writer of the legendary TV series The Twilight Zone, read EC Comics? According to Serling's widow, Rod was "...an admirer of fantasy and horror tales...his library was full of books by Poe and Lovecraft, Shelley and James, and work by their 'great-grandchildren,' published in Fantasy & Science Fiction, Galaxy and If." But did Rod's library include comic books too, like the (in-)famous 1950's EC horror and science-fiction titles with their shocking twist endings that so many Twilight Zone episodes resemble? Illustrator, comic book historian and Twilight Zone scholar Arlen Schumer (author/designer of the coffee table books The Silver Age of Comic Book Art and Visions from The Twilight Zone) will answer that question with his tantalizing VisuaLecture, "submitted for your approval."

Concrete cutting in Mission Viejo is usually done by experienced professionals who use machines of superior grade to accomplish their task. The services of reliable contractors are widely appreciated by clients for flexibility, reliability and cost effectiveness. Expert contractors do keep a team of experienced professionals who can carry out the process with utmost smoothness. They are immensely experienced in this field and have ample knowledge in this domain. Moreover, the professionals keep a tab on the client choices and execute the projects undertaken to the fullest satisfaction of clients. They also take care of the projects to be executed on time. The cutting of concrete is usually done with the help of a diamond-embedded saw.
The saw used in concrete cutting is also known as the consaw or a road saw. It can cut through masonry, concrete, asphalt, brick, tile and other solid stuff. The saw is a small handheld cutoff saw or a big walk behind saw or a normal saw of other styles. This saw is generally powered by pneumatic or hydraulic pressure, electric motors or gasoline. The blades that are used on the saw are usually diamond saw blades that are used for the purpose of cutting asphalt, stone, concrete etc. Abrasive cutoff wheels can also be used on the cutoff saws for cutting stone and steel.
The amount of friction that is generated during concrete cutting in Mission Viejo of hard substances generally requires the cooling of blades with water to prolong their life and decrease the amount of dust. The concrete core drills can be carried out in any orientation – horizontal, vertical or even upside down through the ceilings made of concrete. The core drill bit includes a steel tube with diamond segments, which are brazed or laser welded on the drilling tip. The core bits are mounted on the circulating shaft of different varieties of concrete core drilling systems. Most of the core drills are attached to a stand, which is usually fastened on to the floor or wall.
There are different kinds of handheld devices also, which are used in concrete cutting. They have unlimited uses with the extensions. A solid cylindrical core or slug of concrete is eliminated from the hole once the drilling is done. The applications of concrete core drilling are virtually endless. The core holes are used for utility penetrations like plumbing, heating and electricity and also they may even be used for the venting of furnaces as well as clothes dryers. The structures can hence be prepared for HVAC ducts, phone lines, fiber optics and more with the use of drills.
In the process of demolition and alteration, concrete saws are usually required for the cutting of hard concrete. In concrete cutting, structures may be remodeled, pipes and wires to be passed through any concrete barrier or sewage might have to be accessed under the concrete floor of the basement etc. One should also make sure that the job of concrete drilling is performed by an expert concrete floor drilling company or experienced professionals. Whatever the need is, make sure that the company selects the most appropriate cutting saw and they are able to handle the equipment well to assure safety and desired finish. Do not try to drill concrete on your own, which may end up in danger or total mess.


"Some people have been coming to Uganda. Malong (Paul) and others. They come and talk to our people. They want to start a war because they claim Salva Kiir is being controlled by some elders. But should that be cause for war?" said the Museveni.
Drawing from the American example of the Continental Army of George Washington that emanated from the" No taxation without representation" before leading to the American War of Independence, Museveni said a good political idea would cause followership and ultimately victory.
Museveni was accompanied by Gen Moses Ali, the First Deputy Prime Minister, Betty Bigombe, a technical adviser, and Maj Gen Proscovia Nalweyiso, the Senior Presidential Adviser on Security and Defence.

MIDNIGHT SPECIAL * *
Starring Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Kirsten Dunst, Jaeden Lieberher and Adam Driver. Written and directed by Jeff Nichols.
Creative writing instructors often tell their students to try and begin a story as far into the action as possible. Jeff Nichols' Midnight Special begins even later than that, dropping us in around what might be the midpoint of most other movies and asking the audience to play catch-up for the rest of the running time. At first this is a thrilling proposition: In a franchise era besotted with backstories we've become so accustomed to preludes and prologues that the stark immediacy of Nichols' opening sequence feels like a friendly jolt.
Two men careen down the highway in a muscle car with a creepy-looking kid wearing swimming goggles in the backseat. They're obviously running from something or somebody, but we don't know who or what. We hear an Amber Alert go out for the boy. These guys have a police scanner, bulletproof vests, and they've even packed night vision gear so they can speed through the darkness without their headlights on. Cue the opening title.
This is a hell of a way to start a picture, but it also writes a check that the rest of Midnight Special can't cash. For awhile there's an intellectual excitement to the process of watching the film — crucial plot information trickles out in dribs and drabs, but never in expository scenes for the benefit of the audience. Folks in this movie tend to talk like there isn't a camera around, referencing things we don't know about and nodding somberly. I've never seen a picture in which so many people use the word "it" on so many occasions without offering us the slightest clue what "it" is they're referring to.
After some detective work we surmise that the men in that speeding car are Roy (Michael Shannon) and Lucas (Joel Edgerton), old childhood friends who have just sprung Roy's son – that would be the kooky kid with the eyewear – from some sort of doomsday cult run by Sam Shepard. The FBI has gotten involved, and now the NSA is here too in the form of a hunky-dorky investigator played by Adam Driver playing Jeff Goldblum.
The child, named Alton, is unique in ways that seem to shift according to the demands of Nichols' screenplay. He's allergic to sunshine but can shoot bright beams of light from his eyeballs that induce some sort of ecstatic hallucinations in bystanders. He hears radio waves in his mind and turns green grass brown just by standing on it. Most alarmingly, Alton can bring spy satellites crashing to Earth when he gazes up intently at the night skies.
The slow-drip plot mechanics lead us to assume all our questions will eventually be answered, but what makes Midnight Special so damn frustrating in the end is that most of them aren't even asked. For reasons never explained, Shannon and his wife (Kirsten Dunst) need to bring Alton to a set of specific geographical coordinates that have already somehow been figured out by Driver in a eureka moment that doesn't make a lick of fucking sense. (He literally circles numbers on a dry erase board and we are left with no idea how he arrived at this discovery that the entire climax of the movie hinges upon.)
Basically, Nichols has Frankensteined the scripts for Close Encounters and E.T. with a little bit of John Carpenter's Starman thrown in there for good measure. (Not for nothing is Shannon's true-believing, half-mad Dad named Roy, and I'm pretty sure Driver recites one of Peter Coyote's lines from E.T. verbatim.) But Midnight Special lacks the warmth that made those earlier pictures soar. This is a glum bit of business, with a few more nods to the original Terminator movie than were perhaps necessary. What's also missing is a sense of wonder.
I enjoyed Jeff Nichols' 2013 breakthrough hit Mud, but one must admit that for a movie starring Matthew McConaughey as an escaped convict living on a boat that's stuck in a tree while embarking on a foolhardy chivalric quest, his meat-and-potatoes shooting style was a bit prosaic for the material. Midnight Special suffers from a similar flatness, along with some tragically underfunded special effects.
At least the acting's swell, with Michael Shannon and Kirsten Dunst filling up all those pregnant pauses with layers you won't find anywhere on the page. I'm not sure that scary Shannon was the optimal choice for a guy who is supposed to symbolize pure paternal love, but then again maybe that's what makes him so fascinating. Roy's final moment with Alton has a sudden, stinging gravity and is one of the few in Midnight Special that can be called understated instead of just underwritten.

Q: Loading a php snippet on a modal with an ajax call and posting from the form causing to call it multiple times In a form I have a modal skeleton--meaning the modal body is empty. I designed number of on the fly add(for dropdowns) form and loading with a ajax post call like
    var scriptname,initiator;
    $(".launch-add-form").click(function(e){
         scriptname=($(this).prop('id')).split("-")[0] ;
         initiator=$(this).prop('id');
         $.ajax({
            type:"post",
            url:"<?=site_url()?>/admin/commoncontroller/getform/",
            data:{csrftoken:cct,scriptname:scriptname}
         }).done(function(res){ $("#modalBody").html(res) ;})

    });

Which returns any script that matches the script name and render the response to the modal body. Well now from modal i fill the form and save it which properly works but the problem is on the main form there are multiple drop-downs and each have
      .launch-add-form class

Well, if I save with one drop down and try to do with other, then the ajax save call is being called like in geometric progression...1st 1 call than 2 calls then 4 calls...
Can anyone help please?

A: I guess you are assigning the onClick event multiple times.
try unbinding any clic event before adding a new one:
$(".launch-add-form").unbind( "click" );

so your code will be:
    var scriptname,initiator;

    $(".launch-add-form").unbind( "click" );

    $(".launch-add-form").click(function(e){
         scriptname=($(this).prop('id')).split("-")[0] ;
         initiator=$(this).prop('id');
         $.ajax({
            type:"post",
            url:"<?=site_url()?>/admin/commoncontroller/getform/",
            data:{csrftoken:cct,scriptname:scriptname}
         }).done(function(res){ $("#modalBody").html(res) ;})

    });

Biografia
Elizabeth era la più anziana delle figlie di Colin MacKintosh, un fruttivendolo, e di Josephine Horne, un'insegnante. La sua formazione scolastica iniziò alla Royal Academy di Inverness, per poi concludersi con il diploma di insegnante di educazione fisica conseguito all'Anstey Physical Training College di Erdington, frequentato dal 1914 al 1917.

Terminati gli studi, dopo una breve esperienza in una clinica di fisioterapia a Leeds, Elizabeth segue le orme della madre dedicandosi all'insegnamento. Lavora in diverse città tra cui Liverpool, Oban, Eastbourne e Tunbridge, dove si soffermerà più a lungo. Queste esperienze fornirono molti spunti all'autrice, che in alcune opere riprodurrà ambientazioni simili a quelle in cui si trovò a lavorare, o trarrà ispirazione da eventi accaduti durante la carriera scolastica. Ne è esempio l'opera del 1946 Miss Pym Disposes in cui un incidente accaduto in palestra durante il periodo di insegnamento ad Oban verrà utilizzato come causa di un decesso.

Nel 1923 Elizabeth interrompe l'attività di docente per dedicarsi alla cura della madre malata e del padre. La sua produzione letteraria inizia in questo periodo; nel 1929 pubblica sotto lo pseudonimo Gordon Daviot, le opere "Kif" e "The Man in the Queue" (Tra la Folla). Kif, il racconto delle difficoltà di un ragazzo arruolatosi durante la Prima Guerra Mondiale e poi caduto in una vita votata al crimine, venne accolto dalla critica in maniera fredda, forse a causa del gran numero di opere esistenti, ambientate durante il primo conflitto mondiale.

La scelta dell'autrice di utilizzare uno pseudonimo maschile probabilmente è da addebitarsi alla convinzione di poter godere di maggiori possibilità di pubblicazione presso gli editori sotto questa identità. Se ancora si dibatte sul motivo della scelta del nome Gordon, meno spazio all'immaginazione viene lasciato per quanto riguarda la scelta del cognome Daviot, probabilmente dovuta a una località in cui la famiglia MacKintosh era solita trascorrere le vacanze durante l'infanzia di Elizabeth.

Romanzi Gialli
The Man in the Queue (1929) segna la prima apparizione del detective Alan Grant e narra le indagini di quest'ultimo impegnato nella risoluzione di un caso di omicidio avvenuto in un teatro del West End londinese. Pur presentando caratteristiche non convenzionali per i romanzi polizieschi del tempo, l'opera venne accolta positivamente dalla critica, aggiudicandosi il premio offerto dalla casa editrice Dutton.

La produzione di romanzi gialli continuò nel 1936 con la pubblicazione di A Shilling for Candles, scritto sotto lo pseudonimo di Josephine Tey, scelto in onore del cognome di una bisnonna vissuta nella contea di Suffolk. L'opera in questione ha sempre come protagonista il detective Grant, questa volta però affiancato nel processo di indagine da una giovane ragazza di nome Erica Burgoyne. Quest'ultima si distingue per la sua arguzia e per il coraggio nel contrastare le ipotesi proposte da Grant. Le peculiarità di Erica spingeranno il regista Alfred Hitchcock a basare le vicende di Giovane e Innocente (Young and Innocent) sulla giovane protagonista del romanzo.

Nel 1946, ancora con lo pseudonimo di Josephine Tey, viene pubblicato Miss Pym Disposes. L'ambientazione del romanzo è chiaramente ispirata all'istituto frequentato dall'autrice negli ultimi anni della formazione scolastica, ovvero l'Anstey Physical Training College di Erdington. Quest'opera non ha Alan Grant come protagonista, ma l'ex insegnante di francese Lucy Pym, trovatasi al centro di un caso di omicidio mentre teneva una lezione in una scuola su un best seller da lei scritto. L'indagine si chiuderà con un clamoroso errore della protagonista, che finirà per accusare un innocente.

The Franchise Affair del 1948, riprende il motivo dell'accusa ai danni di persone innocenti. In quest'opera il detective Grant appare solo all'inizio, le indagini del caso al centro della narrazione verranno svolte dal protagonista Robert Blair.

In Brat Farrat, uscito nel 1949, si ripresenta la tematica della solitudine del protagonista e delle apparenze ingannevoli. Una peculiarità del romanzo è l'assenza di una figura che ufficialmente svolga le indagini sul caso in questione. La scoperta della verità giunge attraverso le deduzioni e le scoperte del protagonista che in primis si era servito di menzogne, spacciandosi per un'altra persona, per avere l'occasione di migliorare la propria vita.

Nel 1950 viene pubblicato To Love and Be Wise, che ha sempre Grant come protagonista. In questo romanzo però avviene un cambiamento: mentre nei romanzi precedenti entravano in conflitto l'elemento logico tipico della professione di Grant con le intuizioni derivategli dal suo istinto, ora questi due elementi si equilibrano. Nel romanzo verranno inoltre messi in luce alcuni aspetti della vita privata del detective che non erano mai stati approfonditi in precedenza, come l'amicizia con l'attrice Marta Hallard.

Il romanzo giallo più celebre di Elizabeth MacKintosh viene pubblicato nel 1951: La figlia del tempo (The Daughter of Time), che ha per protagonista l'ispettore Alan Grant. Questa volta però egli non svolge le indagini direttamente sul campo, ma da un letto di ospedale in cui è confinato a causa di un infortunio ad una gamba. Preso dalla noia della convalescenza, il poliziotto si troverà ad indagare su uno dei crimini più efferati della storia inglese: l'uccisione di Edoardo V e del fratello nella Torre di Londra. Di questo vile atto era stato incolpato il re Riccardo III, ma Alan Grant dimostrerà che il sovrano era del tutto innocente.

L'ultima opera di questo genere attribuita a MacKintosh è The Singing Sands, pubblicata postuma, dopo il ritrovamento della bozza dell'opera. In quest'ultimo romanzo il detective Grand, quasi in via di lasciare Scotlan Yard, viene presentato in preda a ad attacchi di panico e claustrofobia, minato da una sorta di depressione. Il cliché del detective impavido e sicuro di sé viene abbandonato, a favore di un personaggio che mostra la sua vulnerabilità, e che può essere interpretato anche come simbolo di un'inedita ambiguità sessuale, mai manifestata nei romanzi polizieschi del periodo.

Opere Teatrali
La produzione letteraria di Elizabeth MacKintosh conta anche una dozzina di opere teatrali, composte tutte con lo pseudonimo di Gordon Daviot. La più celebre è Richard of Bordeaux (1932). Il protagonista, John Gielgud, affermerà di essere rimasto molto colpito dalle abilità di MacKintosh, che sarebbe riuscita a migliorare il personaggio di Richard, creato da Shakespeare, donandogli un tocco di ironia e humor. L'opera fu messa in scena nel 1933 al New Theatre di Londra. In questo periodo l'autrice venne citata in tribunale per plagio da un biografo di Richard II, il quale sostenne che l'autrice avrebbe copiato le caratteristiche attribuite al protagonista, da lui originariamente definite.

A Richard of Bordeaux seguirono The Laughing Woman e Queen of Scots, che però riscossero un minore successo.

Morte
Nel 1950 o 1951 l'autrice scoprì di essere malata in maniera incurabile; non rivelò la sua condizione medica né agli amici più intimi né ai familiari. Morì il 13 febbraio del 1952 durante un viaggio verso Londra.

Q: Why static final variables are accepted in local classes? I've googled this extensively to no avail. I cannot seem to wrap my head around this concept. Why are static final fields accepted in local classes? Such as the following example below:
public void sayGoodbyeInEnglish() {

        class EnglishGoodbye {
            public static final String farewell = "Bye bye";
            public void sayGoodbye() {
                System.out.println(farewell);
            }
        }
        System.out.println(EnglishGoodbye.farewell);
        EnglishGoodbye myEnglishGoodbye = new EnglishGoodbye();
        myEnglishGoodbye.sayGoodbye();
    }

In class EnglishGoodbye the variable farewell is allowed? Why? I'm confused. Why is that allowed but no static variable? I understand why it cannot access the members of the enclosing scope unless they are a compiler time constant as those variables cease to exist when the function ends but the class may not. Right? Im just confused on this.
Thanks!

A: It's not, in general.
But farewell is a special kind of static final: one whose value is a constant, as defined by JLS 15.28. That means that it's not being initialized at that location, which is what's actually disallowed in non-static classes (including local classes), as per JLS 8.1.3.
The JLS states this explicitly (and in bold font) in 8.1.3 (note the "unless" part):

It is a compile-time error if an inner class declares a member that is explicitly or implicitly static, unless the member is a constant variable (§4.12.4).

If you change that line to either remove the final modifier or make the expression non-constant (for example, new String("Bye bye")), then you'll get the compilation error you expect:
Test.java:5: error: Illegal static declaration in inner class EnglishGoodbye
            public static final String farewell = new String("Bye bye");
                                       ^
  modifier 'static' is only allowed in constant variable declarations
1 error

A bit more:
The reason this is allowed is that constant variables are treated specially by the compiler. In particular, it's allowed to inline them -- the resulting bytecode doesn't have the farewell field at all! If you decompile the class (javap -c YourClassName), you'll see something like this:
public void sayGoodbyeInEnglish();
  Code:
     0: getstatic     #2                  // Field java/lang/System.out:Ljava/io/PrintStream;
     3: ldc           #3                  // String Bye bye
     5: invokevirtual #4                  // Method java/io/PrintStream.println:(Ljava/lang/String;)V
     ...

The above corresponds to this line:
System.out.println(EnglishGoodbye.farewell);

It's a bit daunting, but notice that "3:" line. The program isn't loading the value of the field farewell, it's loading constant #3 (which it note in a comment is the String "Bye bye") (you can see a list of the bytecodes on wikipedia).
Because farewell is a constant variable (and not a "real" static member), and thus can be inlined in the code, it doesn't matter where you define it -- the variable's lifecycle is essentially that of the whole JVM, not any one class or instance, and thus it can be declared anywhere.

Brett's First Cut: Obama on birthed issue - "Let's get serious"
Hillary Resurrects Birther Fight, Cali Drought Could be Indefinite, Syrians Invade Boise. These stories and more on "The First Cut" with Brett Winterble at 2 p.m. - 6 p.m.
"I think most people were as well," Obama said Friday in the Oval Office before a meeting he convened with a bipartisan group of elected officials and business leaders to discuss his trade agenda.
"And my hope would be that the presidential election reflects more serious issues than that."
"For 5 years, he has led the birther movement to delegitimize our first black president," said Clinton. "Donald's advisers had the temerity to say he's doing the country a service by pushing these lies. No, he isn't."
Despite resistance by Idaho's top political leaders, 118 Syrian refugees have moved to the Gem State since last Oct. 1, all of them settling in Boise, according to new data from the State Department.
Compared with larger cities, Boise took in a disproportionate share, accepting more than twice as many refugees as New York, with 9, and Los Angeles, with 45, combined.


We're working on a PC desktop software for financial professionals. Our users tend to be very detail oriented and extremely cautious of errors.
We have a new feature that allows our customers to import financial data from a 3rd party.
Upon a successful import, each newly updated file will open in their desktop and it will show the new data.
At this point our users may assume that the data import is complete and proceed with closing the files.
But, if they close the file without saving - the data will be lost. There is no "undo" - they would need to repeat the entire import process again.
We want our customers to know that they must save these files in order to keep the new data.
We're going to display "Warning" messages after users click on the close button.
Please advise which option you think would be more effective in making sure our customers don't make the wrong choice.
Correct your design rather than trying to solve this with an error message.
Imported data most likely should be saved automatically, without requiring an additional user action.
Even if you do need an explicit save action for some reason, you should save the program state so the data is not lost when they close the program--if they close without saving, they should see a partially completed import with the data there the next time they open it.
Not sure why you want users to explicitly 'save' if it's that critical. As dan1111 mentioned in previous answer, you may want to consider autosaving/revisit information flow for this task.
That said, if you need explicit saving, option B is better than option A. Popping up two dialog boxes is confusing in most warning dialogue cases. It's advisable to provide all the necessary information before the user selects a certain option.
Also, name your action buttons what they do rather than Yes/No. Using Save/Delete instead of Yes/No could also solve user's confusion of which actions they are agreeing to. Hope this helps!

Wilda's in downtown Redding closes; Churn Creek location still open

Wilda's in downtown Redding closes; Churn Creek location still open Wilda's co-owner Bret Speers said parking was an issue, and last summer's Carr Fire also didn't help business downtown.

A year and a half after it opened, Wilda's in downtown Redding has closed.
"It's with heavy hearts that we announce the closing of our Downtown location. Thank you all who supported our journey back Downtown," the restaurant posted on Facebook.
Wilda's on Churn Creek Road in the Shasta Center remains open, and co-owner Bret Speers said his east Redding location is doing well.
"We do more in an hour at Churn Creek than I do here all day," Speers said Wednesday morning outside his shuttered downtown location. "So, I have been paying to stay open for the past year and a half every day. It was just too much, and I don't know how to change it."
Wilda's opened in Cascade Square in February 2018 after a long build-out to get the anchor space ready. The restaurant announced it was opening a downtown location in June 2016, but it took nearly two years to make it happen.

Initially, Speers said he would partner with Jeff Garrett, who co-owns Lumberjacks and Jeff's California Cattle Co., on the downtown location. But the partnership dissolved, and Speers and his wife and business partner, Dayna, moved forward with their plans.
It marked a return to downtown for Wilda's. The restaurant was established in October 2011 on Placer Street a few blocks west of Cascade Square, but it quickly outgrew that spot and the Speers family decided to relocate to Churn Creek Road.
The original Wilda's on Placer Street today is home to Ma Der Ma Der Sap House & Grill.
The Speers family said they had hoped returning to downtown would bring in their west Redding customers who missed the Placer location. They also believed downtown Wilda's would benefit from the law offices and other businesses that populate downtown Monday through Friday.
Despite being across the street from California Street parking garage, Speers said parking was an issue for his downtown location.
"People can draw their own conclusions," he said.
What's more, last summer's Carr Fire has been difficult to overcome. Speers, who took out a disaster relief loan, said business at his downtown restaurant was still reeling from the fire.
Parking problems were not not something Speers believed they would encounter before they returned to downtown.
"We have everything we didn't have at Placer," Speers told the Record Searchlight in February 2018. "Parking, better air conditioning and two bathrooms, thanks to Starbucks."
Starbucks originally occupied the corner spot soon after Cascade Square opened in 2006.
Other tenants that have operated in the anchor spot have been Spoon Me yogurt, which had the longest tenure at five years before it closed in 2016. Prior to Spoon Me, Code Red, a pizza-by-the-slice restaurant, was there.
The Speers family opened Wilda's in 2011 in part as a tie-in for their gourmet mustard business.
The restaurant was almost an immediate hit, thanks in large part to its Buddha Bowl. A testament to the bowl's popularity is the fact that some other local restaurants have added a variation of the dish to their menus.
Wilda's also was featured on California Dream Eater, which posted its 2016 visit to the popular restaurant on YouTube.
Asked about the many developments coming to downtown, including a new Shasta County courthouse and the Market Center, a four-story mixed-use building where Dicker's department store used to be, Speers said he can't wait.
"I don't have the resources," Speers said. "This one's (downtown Wilda's) bringing the entity down."

PATRIOTS: Belichick preparing for a first
Glen Farley The Enterprise @GFarley_ent
With Mike Vrabel standing on the sideline across from him, Sunday's matchup at Tennessee will mark the first time the Patriots' Bill Belichick has gone head-to-head in a coaching matchup with a former player of his.
FOXBORO – Ultimately, Bill Belichick believes Mike Vrabel's rightful place is in Foxboro.
"He was a great player here," said Belichick, "one that hopefully will be recognized into the Patriots Hall of Fame. I certainly think he deserves to be there."
On Sunday, he'll be standing on the sidelines, guiding his 4-4 Tennessee Titans against Belichick's 7-2 Patriots at Nissan Stadium in Nashville in what will be a first for the Patriots' veteran head coach – the first time he's ever gone head-to-head with one of his former players.
Hired by the Titans in the wake of Mike Mularkey's firing on Jan. 15, two days after the team's 35-14 AFC divisional playoff loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium, Vrabel brought 18 years of NFL experience to the post – 14 as a player (including eight in New England) and four as an assistant coach with the Houston Texans, most recently as their defensive coordinator last year.
Lured away from Pittsburgh as a free agent in 2001, Vrabel spent more than half of his playing career in New England, appearing in 125 regular-season games with the Patriots (starting 110) and another 18 in the postseason (all starts), contributing to the organization's first three Super Bowl championships.
Vrabel's stay in New England came to an end in 2009 when he was part of the deal that sent quarterback Matt Cassel to Kansas City in exchange for a second-round draft pick, a move that caused a strain in his relationship with his former coach.
"I can't deny the fact I played there for eight years and we had a lot of success," Vrabel told reporters in Tennessee on Tuesday. "Bill was my coach. He traded me to Kansas City and we didn't talk for a couple of months, maybe a year. Then we became friends and I used him as a resource when I started my coaching career. I still talk to him a lot now.
"This week, we're competitors. We're always competitors as far as I'm still coaching and so is he. I guess it's unique from that standpoint. As far as how much of his philosophy is in me, I think that spending time there, I think there's some similarities that I believe in and that you grow as a player believing in. But then I think that we have a completely different personality. I respect his friendship, I respect his guidance and leadership when I played there. But now we're competitors. We have to do everything we can to try to beat the Patriots."
Vrabel broke in to coaching at his alma mater, Ohio State, as the Buckeyes' linebackers coach in 2011 and served as their defensive line coach from 2012-2013.
"Mike's got a lot of great qualities," Belichick said Wednesday. "Great player. Tough mentally and physically. He's smart. Got a real passion for the game. He's in great condition, could go all day, loved to play, loved to practice. Great leadership.
"I think all those things transferred when he went to coach at Ohio State and then down to Houston and now in Nashville. I have a ton of respect for Mike. I think he's been a great coach and he could be a great coach, great head coach."
As for Belichick's contention that Vrabel (who still has ties to the area; son Tyler is a freshman offensive lineman at Boston College) belongs in the Patriots Hall of Fame, his time may come, but it's yet to arrive. Vrabel was nominated by the Patriots Hall of Fame committee for selection in each of the past two years but lost out in the fan vote, first to cornerback Raymond Clayborn in 2017, then to offensive tackle Matt Light this year.

GasBuddy predicts that in 2023, gasoline prices in Tampa will peak at $4.45 per gallon | Florida News
Trends Herzog Trend Monday 02nd January 2023 11:09 AM
PHOTO BY ADOBE
Boston-based GasBuddy, in a yearly outlook released last Wednesday, predicted pump prices would average $4.25 to $4.65 a gallon in Miami, $4.15 to $4.55 in Orlando and $4.10 to $4.45 in Tampa.
As average gasoline prices have returned above $3 a gallon in Florida, a tech firm that monitors the fuel industry predicts prices above $4 a gallon in 2023.
The peaks, barring unexpected changes, would likely occur in the summer, followed by "normal seasonal fluctuations" with prices falling after Labor Day. GasBuddy predicts the national average will drop back down to around $3.17 before the start of 2024.
The average price for a gallon of regular unleaded last Thursday in Florida was $3.12, while the national average was $3.16, according to the AAA auto club.
Average prices hit $5 nationally and $4.89 in Florida in June before declining steadily for much of the rest of the year. Prices began to rise this week after falling below a Florida average of $3.
Patrick De Haan, head of oil analysis at GasBuddy, said in the report that it's "highly unlikely" for a 2022 repeat, but "thunderstorm clouds" remain.
"2023 will not be a cakewalk for motorists. It could be expensive," De Haan said. "The national average could top $4 a gallon as early as May — and that's something that could last for much of the summer driving season."
National gasoline prices could fall below $3 a gallon in February, climb to $3.99 in June, stay above $3.80 through the summer, and decline at the end of the year.
GasBuddy's forecast does not assume "a severe recession", but that "some level of economic reset will limit demand for oil". He cited the uncertainty of China easing COVID-19 mandates, OPEC trying to balance oil markets by cutting oil production and Russia's continued war in Ukraine.
"The East Coast remains highly sensitive to Russia's war on Ukraine, as European countries seek supplies of oil and refined products elsewhere, putting upward pressure on prices on the East Coast," says The report.
Other "unforeseen obstacles" could include pipeline closures and weather issues, such as hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico.
For the year, the national average is expected to be $3.49 per gallon, compared to an average of $3.96 in 2022.
At this rate, the average US household is expected to spend $2,471 on gasoline in 2023, up from $2,748 in 2022.
GasBuddy, which acknowledges that its forecasts are not evangelical, predicted the national average to be $3.99 this year, its lowest margin of error since the first annual forecast in 2012.
The company said its "forecast has been higher than the actual result eight out of 10 years, with only two years, 2018 and 2021, in which the forecast was lower than the actual result."
GasBuddy noted that prices are subject to seasonal increases and decreases related to refinery maintenance in the spring and fall and the Clean Air Act, which slowly removes certain pollutants from fuels.
Spring servicing comes as refineries run out of stock of winter-blend gasoline for more expensive summer-blend. Over the past decade, average price increases of 35 cents to 85 cents have been attributed to the change.
The average Florida unleaded price was just below $3 a gallon for most of the Christmas weekend. The West Palm Beach area had the highest average price on Thursday at $3.29 a gallon, while the Panama City area had the lowest average at $2.92.

A Lustrous Affair with India
by AFP/Palash Kumar, May 11, 2004 | Destinations: India / New Delhi

NEW DELHI, April 27, 2004 - India's annual fashion week kicked off Tuesday with a risque set showing off dashes of skin in traditional costumes as Indian designers seek a bigger chunk of the global haute couture market.
Top designer Rina Dhaka's autumn-winter collection, called "a lustrous affair with India," featured gold, silver and mirror embroidery on skirts, slacks, lingerie and Indian blouses with skin peeping through cuts and nicks. Her outfits had flesh-toned and ivory capris, bra tops, skirts and catsuits. "It is a very, very Sex and the City girl look," said leading New Delhi fashion critic Anshu Khanna, referring to the sultry US television show.
"Very, very naughty with the cuts and the holes here and there. But this is Rina Dhaka." Dhaka is among the 57 designers who will participate in the Lakme India Fashion Week, billed as India's largest design event.
Prospective buyer Danielle Arauga from the Jofima clothing stores in Portugal said that while Dhaka's collection could work, Indian designers had a long way to go. "India is becoming very hot for the European market, but not all the designers are good," she said. "There is no sense of style. It's a confused mix and match of everything. I would probably go for one part of it, which is the embroidery, but not the whole."
And even within India, fashion forecaster Harleen Sabharwal predicted Dhaka's creations on whites, greens and browns would be a wide shade apart from next year's styles. "2005 would be a return to basics involving Indian sensibility, simplicity and elegance," Sabharwal said. She noted the popularity of Jassi, the plain-looking and mild-mannered office woman who is the heroine of a leading Indian sitcom. "We already see how Jassi has come like a fresh of breath of air. We will see more of that," Sabharwal said.
Jewellery designer Naina Balsaver, showing off a collection said to be inspired by the Raj colonial era, said fashions were set to "explode outside India."
"It's a dichotomy that the works are fabulous, but the designs are all western," she said.
Clothing designer Wendell Rodericks said the cream and white colours at the fashion week's opening were "very good."
"When the lights went off, you could only see the shimmering bodies. Very sexy," Rodericks said.
Despite priding itself on being a top force in international beauty pageants, India's haute couture exports account for only 12 million dollars a year. The government hopes events such as the Lakme India Fashion Week can boost exports by up to 30 million dollars annually over the next five years.

Q: Java-Selenium WebElement is not found error I have some problem with selenium.
I want to send some String content to an element on my web with id= "source" and submit it
here is my code
driver.get("http://hiriji.com/");
        WebElement viet = driver.findElement(By.id("source"));
        viet.sendKeys(content);
        viet.submit();

it works well, until the content is too big.
after
viet.sendKeys(content);

the web suddenly change to 404 error page.
So it got an error at
viet.submit();

My question is how to ignore this error and continue with the below code.
I don't need to send all content to the web, if it is too big it can be ignored...
the stacktrace said:

A: Just check for content's length.If its length is beyond your limit dont let form submit.
if(content.length()<=acceptableLimit)
viet.sendKeys(content);
    viet.submit();

A: possible reason: after operation
driver.get("http://hiriji.com/");

you do not get all the elements which are supposed to be loaded on the page.
Add implicit wait     driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5,TimeUnit.SECONDS); to verify I'm right or not
driver.get("http://hiriji.com/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5,TimeUnit.SECONDS);
 WebElement viet = driver.findElement(By.id("source"));
        viet.clear();
        viet.sendKeys(content);
        viet.submit();//or as alternative try to click on 'submit' button
