The symbols and elements used in the chosen logo for the Jaro Archdiocesan Commission on Mission.
Here is the explanation of the symbols and elements used in the chosen logo for the Jaro Archdiocesan Commission on Mission. We thank Sem. Kenneth Gadian of the Society of St. Paul and of the Parish of Saint Catherine of Alexandria, Leon, Iloilo for the meaningful layout and catechism behind the concept of his artwork for the logo of Jaro Co-Mission.
NEW APPOINTMENTS IN THE ARCHDIOCES OF JARO
We are pleased to announce to you the new set of clergy appointments in the Archdiocese of Jaro effective on July 10, 2021.
Let us continue to pray for our clergy, most especially those who have been recently ordained to the presbyterium, that the Lord may guide and help them in their mission to the flock entrusted to their care. Congratulations, Fathers!
"Let me always be your child, oh God…"
Don't stay in the pains of frustration. It slows down your pace to move on unless you decide to let go from hanging on.
You are a child of God. Even before you were formed in a womb, you were already a family of his own. You have been owned by him, so avoid all means to lose this endowment of having his protection and strength. Your struggles are God's test for you to make firm your determination to go through life's difficulties. He is in control and when the time comes when your loads are heavy to bear he lifts the other end for you. Never falter with your trust in him as he stands strong as your guiding pillar amidst any destructive torrents that may destroy the serenity of your soul. You have been inscribed in the palm of his hands and no amount of fear can ever topple that covenant he has made with you as his ward. God will always be the strength of your heart and the fullness of your being a child, only if you allow him to be your father. He's the ultimate family you've got.
The world may turn its back on you but never by a God who made a family with you.

"NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD…"
There is more to life than just focusing your attention to the worries that surround you. It helps not but develops the stress.
Know that with God nothing is impossible. Live with the assurance that you are more than just the food you eat and the clothes you wear. The weariness will truly wear you out when you worry much of these provisions outside the context of your total reliance in God. You tend to focus more on your competence to provide your necessities than realizing that someone values you more than how you assess your essentials in life. When God asks you to seek first his kingdom and his righteousness as he will take care of your needs, it would be more than enough of a guarantee to let go of your anxiety. He knows your needs even before you ask him, and he is much aware of all your concerns even unspoken. In his own timing he knows what's best for you. In your own weakness he will always be your strength, and he will be your voice even when you lost the words to speak in your humbled silence. In times of this uncertainty, there's no one to turn to than trust him to do something new.
God makes a way and he works in ways you cannot see.

Q: Using PHPexcel reader convert int value to datetime and print it correctly require_once 'PHPExcel.php';
require_once 'PHPExcel/IOFactory.php';

//Values

$var=$val[2];   //the date value is in the 3rd column
echo date('d/m/Y H:i:s', PHPExcel_Shared_Date::ExcelToPHP($var));
echo "

The problem i am facing is converting a int time value read from a excel file to mysql datetime format to be inserted into DB.My excel file has values like
19-09-2015  00:00:00 which when i am using the above code converts to
19-09-2015  02:00:00 which is 2 hours more than the value in the excel data,this is happening for all the date values, 2 hours extra seem to be getting added,how do i make it print the correct value.

A: There is clearly something wrong with your tiers timezones. Check the timezones of PHP (you can start at corresponding PHP documentation) and MySQL, and make sure they match.

"Sometimes, carabaos also need a break from the farm and truly, this is their day -- a day for fashion and fun the carabao way."
Painters usually use canvass to showcase their talents in painting but the case in Vigan is different because Carabaos turned to be the canvass. This event is a part of the Viva Vigan Festival of the Arts 2012. A collection of events and festivals under one mother festival that happens usually at the last week of April and the first week of May.
The young and the old, everyone showcased their talents and with this event, it showed that age doesn't matter. As long as you have the passion for the arts, you can create an exceptional product.
On a street called Nueva Segovia, several Carabaos (whose colors are gray to black) turned to be a colorful work-of-art. The carabao painting started as early as 7 am and to note, the work to be done was not an easy task because the carabao painters were just able to finish it after 8 hours or more.
Every painter seemed so busy and focused but their efforts were not in vain because the products of their creativity have made watchers, tourists, visitors and the like to stand in awe as they are watching the transformation of the carabaos.
As I watch the carabao painters, I know it was not an easy task. It really requires passion and dedication to learn the art of carabao painting and as I observe them, they seemed to be enjoying what they were doing.
At first the carabao whose color is usually gray or black was painted first with white -- the dark animal turns to be an angelic white, lol!
Now, I have no more words to say so I will be overdoing this post with a lot of photos, I am speechless, lol. Please enjoy the photos.
There you have it the lovely Carabaos of Vigan. Sometimes, carabaos also need a break from the farm and truly, this is their day -- a day for fashion and fun the carabao way.
Ganun ba Mai? actually naisip ko rin yun lalo na ung mga masasabi ng animal rights advocates.
aintto | Hello there! It usually happens every April 28, or 29, or 30. It depends, This years (2013), it happened last April 29. :) Tapos na siya.
hi edmar, would you know kung kelan ang carabao painting this year? thanks!
hi there... forgot to ask earlier. tapos na ba yung carabao painting?
aintto | Yup, it's May 04, 2015 - Monday, 8 AM, Nueva Segovia Street ang venue.
thanks much! will be there.

Q: Obtain DNA substrings wrt their original orders I'd like to get the substrings of long DNA sequences
For example, given:
1/ATXGAAATTXXGGAAGGGGTGG
2/AATXGAAGGAAGGAAGGGGATATTX
3/AAAAAATTXXGGAAGGGGXTTTA
4/AAAATTXXATAXXGGAAGGGGXTXG
5/ATTATTGTTXAXTATTT

the output is to be:
1/TXG    -  TTXX
2/TXG     -
3/       -  TTXX
4/TTXX  -   TXG
5/             -

I tried the following regex pattern:
(TXG|TTXX)

and it works, and the results are put in a list but I don't know how to retrieve the order of each result that has appeared in the original sequences. That is,
whether TTXX and TXG appear first and second respectively as in sequence 4 but second and first as in sequence 1; and in 2nd  and 3rd results, that is harder because match-xx function call doesn't offer an index of the substring which it took from the sequence in question. Thank you for your insights.

A: How about:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dump qw(dump);

my %res;
while(my $line = <DATA>) {
    chomp$line;
    while($line =~ /TXG|TTXX/g) {
        push @{$res{$line}}, "found $& at pos:".(pos($line)-length($&));
    }
}
dump%res;

__DATA__
ATXGAAATTXXGGAAGGGGTGG
AATXGAAGGAAGGAAGGGGATATTX
AAAAAATTXXGGAAGGGGXTTTA
AAAATTXXATAXXGGAAGGGGXTXG
ATTATTGTTXXXTATTT

output:
(
  "ATTATTGTTXXXTATTT",
  ["found TTXX at pos:7"],
  "AATXGAAGGAAGGAAGGGGATATTX",
  ["found TXG at pos:2"],
  "AAAAAATTXXGGAAGGGGXTTTA",
  ["found TTXX at pos:6"],
  "AAAATTXXATAXXGGAAGGGGXTXG",
  ["found TTXX at pos:4", "found TXG at pos:22"],
  "ATXGAAATTXXGGAAGGGGTGG",
  ["found TXG at pos:1", "found TTXX at pos:7"],
)

A: What if you put 2 matching functions?
my $result="";

$result.="TXG" if(/TXG/);
$result.="TTXX" if (/TTXX/);

print $result;

A: perl -ne'($a)=/(TXG)/gc;($b)=/\G.*(TTXX)/;($a,$b)=($1,$a)if$a and not$b and/(TTXX)/;m{^(\d/)};printf"$1%5s -%5s\n",$a,$b'

Viewing the May 1, 2014 Ontario Budget Through A Disability Accessibility Lens – Chock-Full of Missed Opportunities to Ensure Ontario Becomes Fully Accessible to People with Disabilities by 2025
With a real possibility of a spring 2014 Ontario general election in the air, the Ontario Government unveiled its 2014 Ontario Budget in the Legislature on May 1, 2014. How does this Ontario Budget look when viewed through a disability accessibility lens? We regret that this is yet another glaring example of opportunities missed.
The May 1, 2014 Ontario Budget includes nothing specifically targeted at or even mentioning accessibility for persons with disabilities. It refers several times to an over-arching Ten-Year Plan for Ontario's jobs and economy to grow. Yet there is no indication in the Budget that the Government is taking this huge opportunity to ensure that removing and preventing barriers against persons with disabilities is a core part, or even a small part, of that Plan.
This flies in the face of the 2011 election pledge by then-Premier Dalton McGuinty. His August 19, 2011 letter to us stated: "We are integrating accessibility as a fundamental principle when it comes to making vital decisions that affect the daily lives of Ontarians."
The Budget never says that the Government's Plan will ensure that disability accessibility will be incorporated throughout infrastructure spending. The Budget refers to focusing on spending on infrastructure with special mentions of public transit and hospital construction. It also refers to investing in technology in schools.
We get no assurance in this Budget that all new schools, hospitals and public transit facilities and stations, built as a result of the Government's massive new infrastructure program, will be fully disability-accessible. We get no assurance in this Budget that any new information technology acquired for schools will be usable by teachers and students with disabilities.
The Budget does not commit that the new billion dollar Jobs and Prosperity Fund will only be available to companies that have accessible workplaces and that produce goods and services that are accessible for persons with disabilities.
Neither new accessibility reforms to the Ontario Building Code nor all the accessibility standards enacted under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act will ensure that this will occur, even if the Government effectively enforced them to the letter. We have seen no concrete action to keep the Government's 2011 commitments to us that disability accessibility will be a requirement in all infrastructure spending, including information technology infrastructure.
The Government must at long-last keep its commitments about ensuring that accessibility is part of all vital Government decisions.
Below we set out key excerpts from the Ontario Budget speech, from a disability accessibility perspective. Each is glaring for its omissions. It is not too late for the Government to fill this gap. It requires no new spending. It just requires the Government to actively plan to spend the allocations from this Budget in a smarter way.
We know from painful past experience with the Government that this will not happen, unless the Government makes disability accessibility a large, highly visible, prominently profiled requirement. The May 1, 2014 Ontario Budget does just the opposite.
Follow us on Twitter. Get others to follow us. And please re-tweet our tweets! ! @AODAAlliance.
Learn all about our campaign for a fully accessible Ontario.
Key Excerpts from the May 1, 2014 Ontario Budget Speech
* "Mr. Speaker, our government's plan is threefold. We will create jobs and grow the economy by investing in our people. We will build modern infrastructure. We will support a dynamic and innovative business climate."
* "Our government is making Ontario's schools and hospitals among the best in the world. We will continue to make the investments necessary to strengthen them because they are a top priority.
And our collective energy, talent and resources as a government will continue to be spent creating opportunity and jobs. That includes strategic investments in our schools and in our hospitals… Our social services .. And of course … transit, roads, bridges, highways and other important infrastructure throughout the province."
* "Mr. Speaker, going forward, to help secure new investments, we are creating a new $2.5 billion Jobs and Prosperity Fund. This 10-year fund will help Ontario attract investment in new and growing sectors."
* "Mr. Speaker, that is why we are investing over $130 billion in total in infrastructure over the next 10 years. Whether it's a light rail transit line in Ottawa… Or the expansion of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay … Or a new hospital in London … Or roads, bridges and other infrastructure projects throughout the province."
* "Fostering a Fair Society
Mr. Speaker, 60 years ago my parents came to this country for the opportunity that it brought. They could start their own small business … and provide a more secure future for their children. But it went further than that. Like many new Canadians, they were grateful and wanted to give back … especially to others who needed support. And I'm here today because I think it is the job of government to provide the ladder and a steady hand to help people climb up and achieve their full potential.
Beginning in July 2014, we are increasing the maximum annual Ontario Child Benefit (OCB) per child to $1,310, enhancing the incomes of half-a-million families. As part of our plan to ensure that all Ontarians have the opportunity to succeed, and share in the benefits of a strong economy, we will also propose to index the OCB to inflation. Mr. Speaker, it is expected that the number of seniors in Ontario will almost double over the next two decades.
As part of this Budget, we are making it easier for seniors to stay safe, active and engaged in their communities by doubling the size of the new Seniors Community Grant Program. This program helps seniors continue their learning in areas like technology and develop a stronger sense of social inclusion.
And Mr. Speaker, improved economic opportunities are essential to ensuring that Aboriginal people can work and thrive. In this Budget, we are introducing a new Aboriginal Economic Development Fund, which will include an investment of $25 million. The fund will support Aboriginal communities in the development of long-term economic strategies, and provide grants for Aboriginal businesses and fund regional skills-training programs.
Mr. Speaker, we are also expanding low-income health benefits for children and increasing social assistance benefits. And to help our youngest, we are expanding the Student Nutrition Program so that more children in school have access to a healthy, balanced breakfast to start their day.
Our government has also made changes to the tax system to help low- to moderate-income people with their expenses. We have enhanced property and sales tax credits … And combined the payment of credits into the Ontario Trillium Benefit.
Mr. Speaker, our Province has a progressive Personal Income Tax structure where higher tax rates apply as taxable income increases. To continue funding programs in a fair and balanced way, the Province proposes that those with the greatest ability to pay contribute more through their taxes. In this Budget, we are proposing further tax changes that would affect only the top two per cent of Ontario tax filers — those individuals with taxable incomes over $150,000.We propose that, beginning in January 2014, the taxable income threshold for the top tax rate be lowered to $220,000, and a new one percentage point higher tax rate for incomes between $150,000 and $220,000 be introduced. Ninety-eight per cent of tax filers in Ontario would see no change in their taxes as a result of these changes.
Mr. Speaker, this Budget will contain measures to help all Ontarians. Including francophone Ontarians. Measures that provide opportunities … and celebrate culture by commemorating 400 years of francophone presence in Ontario. And we also have to be fair.
We now have more Early Childhood Educators … We have more people accessing developmental services …And we've invested heavily in home care … Which has expanded the need for Personal Support Workers in Ontario… The people doing these jobs are critically important. In this Budget, we are investing in them. To ensure that those who care for our children, our elderly and our most vulnerable will be properly supported in return."
* "We will invest in new technology in the classroom to support improved student achievement … And by 2025, we will have an education system that seamlessly integrates learning from early years to adulthood."
* "Mr. Speaker, we are committed to a health care system that puts patients first and responds to their needs."
* "We are investing in health care services in the home and the community so more options are available to patients close to home and where they are most comfortable.
And we are investing more than $11 billion in major hospital expansions or redevelopment projects over the next 10 years. This will support more than 40 projects currently underway or being planned."

AH, the Audi A1 – the gateway drug to a life hooked on the four rings. Come for the A1, stay for the A3, A7, Q5, Q8... and so on. This is how they getcha folks, so be careful.
Audi knows the A1 has to be good if it's going to convert another person to 40 years of driving its cars. With that in mind, it isn't like a lot of superminis on the market – hastily knocked together to meet high demand from youngsters and city dwellers.
The build quality is as good as any other in the range, and there is a wealth of choice when it comes to engines and all the other things we expect from high-standard motors.
Included in that is a dual clutch (PDK) gearbox, which is a £1,500 optional extra for all engines other than the range-topping (for now, until the next generation S1 turns up) 2.0-litre turbo.
The engine I drove was the 1.0-litre turbo petrol – good for 114bhp – which in my mind is all a car this size needs.
It has got enough hustle to elude dangerous National Express coach blindspots, and it homes in on gaps in chocka traffic with ease.
The ride is poised and settled and the steering nicely weighted.
Browse the Audi website and you'll be told the A1 starts at around £18,000 – lumpy enough in itself, but no self-respecting Audi driver shops in the bargain aisle.
Audi itself predicts only five per cent will buy it in poverty spec. My test car cost – wait for it – £29,930 with all the extras. Thirty big ones for a supermini? Do me a favour.
The elephant in the room is the fact that, underneath, the A1 is a VW Polo. It looks much sexier, granted, but even the highest spec non-GTi Polo costs £18k.
If it were me, I'd save my money and buy the Polo GTi for £21,000.
It might not look as good, but it's the same car with more fun built in.
Still, if you care about these things the Audi A1 is the supermini to help you stand apart from the Ford Fiesta drivers.

Q: BitConverter.ToUint16 giving incorrect value? My code is designed to extract the two middle bytes in a 4-byte message, then append the two middle bytes to form a 16 bit unsigned integer. Unfortunately I'm having problems with BitConverter.ToUint16 - my code doesn't seem to work correctly with it.
I've attached an image of the code and the relevant local variables below.
In this particular example, the central bytes are '10' and '152' in decimal. In binary, these are 00001010 and 10011000. That means the uint16 (numberIn) should be the decimal representation of 0000101010011000, which is 2712. Unfortunately the value the program finds is 38922.
What's going on?!

A: .NET uses little endianness so 00001010 10011000 is 38922. (00001010b +  10011000b * 256)

January 2009 | By Max Oliva, Professor at IE Business School
Business schools are playing a crucial role in the evolution of social responsibility. Having proved how important it is, they now face the challenge of how to develop it further.
CSR has evolved considerably in recent years. It has gone from being a stand-alone concept to being more and more aligned with business, with clear added value. Now that the "CSR, yes or no" debate has finally been won, we are in the "how" phase, rather than still talking about Friedmanâ??s theories (1.)
Business schools play a key role, from the dissemination and evolution of the concept, to involvement in the various conversations, how it should be integrated in the business strategy, how it should be gauged and managed, which parameters should be used, etc.
All this without losing sight of the role they play in putting talent in contact with the business world. On the one hand, business is interested in CSR as a strategy; 70% of businesses consider it a way to stand out from their competitors (2.). As far as talent is concerned, the increase in the number of people searching for work that not only satisfies economic and professional career requirements but that also offers the potential for contributing to society has increased by more than 70% over the last five years (3.)Hence, concepts such as social entrepreneurs, who have a social and/or environmental mission, use market strategies to fulfil targets for social change; the development of products and services aimed at the base of the pyramid (4.) , such as microcredits, socially responsible investments, eco-intelligent design and public-private alliances find a place in the curricula of many business schools and are in increasing demand.
For a more detailed strategic examination of these issues, we have considered the concept from three strategic angles: knowledge, commitment and diffusion. Knowledge is a fundamental part of any business school and of research in specialised centres and their integration into the subjects taught on programs in every academic area, such as strategy, marketing, finance and organisational behaviour; it also provides the opportunity for specialising in this field, with optional subjects such as the creation of social corporations, social marketing, business and sustainability, among others.
As far as commitment is concerned, our aim is for students, alumni and professionals to have the opportunity to make a direct contribution to the conversation through groups such as Impact and EcologIE, with internships in NGOs, with social entrepreneurs or businesses. Finally, we have strengthened relations with third parties whose experiences complement IE Business School in CSR and the creation of social corporations.
Business schools not only contribute to the conversation by generating new concepts and ways of doing more sustainable business, but also, by serving as a link between enterprise and talent, they complement the development of management skills with a significant focus on sustainability, which will be an increasingly essential requirement for managing businesses.

NFDA calls on Government to allow private HGV-MOT testers
"A move to allow private HGV-MOT Testers could only be a step in the right direction", said Sue Robinson Director of the National Franchised Dealers Association (NFDA), which represents franchised car and commercial vehicle retailers across the UK.
Following David Cameron's recent Cabinet reshuffle, the NFDA has written to new appointee, the Rt Hon. Andrew Jones MP, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for the Department for Transport (DfT) to discuss the pressing need to allow private testers to carry out MOTs on HGVs.
"This would not only bring the HGV-MOT service in line with the current system for car and van MOTs, but create greater flexibility for business", continued Robinson.
"Whilst the introduction of new private Authorised Testing Facilities throughout the country has enabled vehicles to be both prepared and checked at the same time, ministry testers are still restricted to their standard working hours. Businesses are also hindered by the travel time it takes to reach testing stations, which unnecessarily increases the time a vehicle is out of action and reduces a business's operational abilities. The government is also losing money paying for travel costs.
"New private testers would allow businesses to operate 24 hours per day, throughout the year, whilst maintaining a high level of safety standards on UK roads. Although some have claimed private testers are less likely to fail vehicles, this is not reflected by Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) figures. In 2013/14, 40% of all cars, vans and passenger vehicles were failed; the number rose to 50% for Class 7 Goods Vehicles. These tests are done by private authorised garages. I see no reason why this cannot be applied to HGVs."

After upgrading to Windows 10, many users reported a new SYSTEM (Z:) drive appeared on their computers. Since there isn't much information available on this mysterious drive, every time Windows 10 users see this partition appear on their machines, they fear they're under a virus attack. Rest assured, this isn't the case.
Tens of thousands of users viewed this particular forum thread, but Microsoft's vague answers only deepened the mystery around the Z: partition.
Like others, the Z drive mysteriously appeared in the file manager of my Windows 10 Surface 2 Computer. Trying to access it was denied. Used diskmgmt.msc as suggested and, although multiple recovery areas were listed, none had any letter and Z was absent from the list.
The Z: drive appears for no apparent reason and as users confirm, there is no security tab to take ownership and gain access to the content of the partition. When users try to access it, a pop-up window displays the following message: "You don't currently have permission to access to folder".
Also, this disk doesn't show up under the Disk Management window. Many users also report that the Z: drive appears and disappears randomly. Windows 10 users tried various solutions to find out if this drive is malicious or not. They scanned it with Malwarebytes and ran Chkdsk, but no errors or viruses were detected.
Fortunately, HP explained why Windows 10 adds the Z: drive, shedding light on this mystery.
That new drive labeled (Z: ) is the restore partition which is added to give you the option of restoring back to your previous version of windows. It is nothing to worry about, and should not be deleted.
In a nutshell, this partition should never have appeared on users' computers. Indeed, it should exist on Windows 10 machines, but it is supposed to be hidden. It appears that a bug randomly makes this drive visible, causing much stir among Windows 10 users.

The Best Moments from SpaceX Launches in 17 Spectacular Images
SpaceX creates breathtaking images of space and space infrastructure as it continues its mission to revolutionize space travel.
By Jessica Miley
SpaceX via Twitter
Since SpaceX was formed in 2002, it has been breaking records and making headlines for its ambitious plans for space travel and research.
SpaceX is headed by PayPal founder and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk.
Musk carries a reputation for being singularly focused on his ambitions and dreams. Musk who made roughly $1.6 million when he sold PayPal to eBay in 2002.
With the goal to reduce the cost of space travel, SpaceX was founded the same year Musk sold PayPal to eBay in 2002.
Like all good startups SpaceX is very good at self-promotion and between Elon Musk's private Twitter and Instagram accounts and the company's Flickr stream, SpaceX has provided us with a huge catalog of stunning images.
Ranging from the power of their numerous rocket launches to the wonder of space, we have selected some of our favorite SpaceX images for you to enjoy.
The PAZ mission, building space broadband
On the 22 February 2018, SpaceX launched one of it's Falcon 9 rockets carrying some very important payload.
On board was a Spanish radar imaging satellite called PAZ along with two prototype satellites that will form part of a test of SpaceX's new low Earth orbit broadband network.

The Falcon Heavy Launch, stepping into history
SpaceX operates the world's most powerful operational rocket, the Falcon Heavy.
The huge rocket successfully launched on February 6th, 2018 at 3:45 pm.
The historic launch was watched by thousands of people all over the world both in person and via a live stream link. The rocket is actually made up of three Falcon 9 rockets strapped together.
As SpaceX aims to reduce costs of flights by reusing rockets, all three thrusters were expected to land again on earth.
Two out of three made it home. Thrusters LZ1 and LZ2 made it back to earth without a hitch, landing in sync back at the Kennedy Air Force Station.
The third thruster was scheduled to land on a SpaceX ocean-based landing pad called "Of Course I Still Love You", however, the thruster did not make it.
Ohh my god @ChrisG_NSF & @NASASpaceflight! Remote number one from Falcon Heavy! pic.twitter.com/aj4ly8Cr5r

The GovSat-1 Mission delivering a satellite
On the 31st January 2018, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the GovSat-1 satellite to a Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
The GovSat-1 Satellite is the first satellite from GovSat, a public-private partnership between the Government of Luxembourg and the satellite operator SES.
The Zuma Mission: a big secret
While SpaceX is generally happy to share lots of information about its missions, one mission is so secretive, no one can confirm the details.
What we do know is that a Falcon 9 rocket left Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on January 7, 2017, with a payload built by defense contractor Northrop Grumman intended for low earth orbit.
The customer is an unidentified U.S. intelligence agency.
This is SpaceX's third secretive mission. SpaceX has previously launched an X-37B space plane for the U.S. Air Force and an NROL-76 spy satellite for the National Reconnaissance Office.
The Iridium Missions: 75 satellites building a constellation
SpaceX has carried out four missions carrying payloads for Iridium, a global leader in mobile voice and data satellite communications.
The last mission Iridium-4 carried a set of 10 satellites from a series of 75 total satellites that SpaceX will launch for Iridium's next-generation global satellite constellation, Iridium® NEXT.
The next mission is expected to happen in March 2018.
ISS Resupply Missions: The Dragon carrying 6,400 pounds
SpaceX rockets perform critical re-fuelling missions for the International Space Station (ISS).
To complete these missions a Falcon Heavy Rocket sends a Dragon spacecraft to low-Earth orbit carrying fuel and supply for the base.
The Dragons typically carry 6,400 pounds of supplies and payloads to support the work of the astronauts aboard the ISS.
SpaceX has an agreement to complete twenty re-supply missions between Earth and the International Space Station under its first contract with NASA.
The contract means the USA now has a way to be an integral part of the resupply mission, as the Dragon is the only uncrewed vehicle capable of returning a payload.
Reuse and Recycle: a Focus for SpaceX
SpaceX has the ongoing goal of reducing the cost of space launches and space exploration.
It has achieved this in part by building rockets that are reusable. The Falcon Heavy booster is designed to land back on earth after launch.
SpaceX says the booster forms about 70% of the total cost of a launch, so by reusing these boosters, they are able to save themselves and their customers millions of dollars.
The boosters are programmed to return to land either close to the original launch site or on to one of two remote drone-ships acting as landing pads.
The two drone-ships called 'Of Course I Still Love You' (OCISLY) and 'Just Read the Instructions' (JRTI).
OCISLY services launch from Port Canaveral and JTRI is ready to recover boosters from launches at Vandenberg.
The relatively cheap cost of a SpaceX launch has created some fierce competition among the world of space startups.
United Launch Alliance is working hard to drop the cost of its Atlas 5 rocket to bring it into the zone of SpaceX pricing.

A post shared by Elon Musk (@elonmusk) on Feb 6, 2018 at 3:23pm PST
The future of SpaceX
SpaceX has big plans for the future. According to their website, they have more than forty missions already planned for the near future.
Elon Musk also has his eyes set on Mars, he hopes there will be a mission to the red planet before 2025.

Théodore Fivel
Le Commissariat/Le Confort Moderne
These were Théodore Fivel's first solo shows, marking his formal debut as an artist. Fivel's background is mainly in performance—in 2009, he founded the Parisian cabaret group Le Grand Bizarre—and this inflected both exhibitions in some intriguingly theatrical ways.
In "Mais! Où est ma scène?" at Le Confort Moderne in Poitiers, there were just six pieces, but Fivel's goal was to create an entire environment. At the entrance to the exhibition was I See You, I See Thru, I See True (all works 2010), a spray-painted mural of two great golden eyes. The piece is indicative of one of Fivel's chief concerns: the reactivation of pagan symbols and myths by way of up-to-date materials, techniques, and attitudes. Having crossed this literal and symbolic threshold, a viewer then entered a darkened environment, in which the pieces were very hard to make out. Most striking was Sand #92185, a bright painting made of colored miniature sand dunes, installed horizontally on a plinth (like a fantastic little disco desert) and lit from above by a skylight. On the walls were three pieces, all more or less lost in the shadows: Chie mère, a digitized photograph made of nine square panels, assembled edge to edge to form a larger square and depicting an abstracted nude woman on all fours wearing a mask; Cryyyyy, a monumental black mask with painted golden tears; and Tuniques, four tunics placed side by side with sleeves crossed and surmounted by flesh-colored latex masks instead of faces. In a separate room in the back was Pyramide All, a tiny pyramid made of sand, perched on a colorful base and lit by a laser at its peak; smoke swirled around this miniature monument in the darkness.
Noteworthy was Fivel's willingness, even eagerness, to use the most kitsch or cabaret elements, at the expense of the integrity of the individual pieces, and reducing the potential, on the part of the viewer, to make a disinterested judgment. Fivel also disrupted the traditional viewing experience by way of his fascination with the occult, seizing on the word's literal meaning, "hidden," and orchestrating environments accordingly in actual occlusion. But as a result, the works were generally more convincing as stage design than as art; the exhibition's effect was mainly of pampered slickness, as if at a club or cabaret; the show was neither committed (that is, mad) nor sophisticated enough to compel assent.
At Le Commissariat in Paris, with an installation called Illuminati Hall, Fivel combined very similar elements to much greater effect. He blocked off the gallery so that viewers had only the storefront window to look at, and this was covered to just above eye level with a wooden board and a zigzag pattern made of white tape. The angles of the taped zigzag rhymed with a wavelike accumulation of sand at the bottom of the windowsill (and makeshift picture frame); sand also spilled out from below the wall onto the street. If one had climbed up and attempted to peer over the cardboard, one would have seen still more sand; similarly, the mail slot in the gallery door to the left gave a glimpse of the space inside, blocked off and filled above ground level with sand. Again, Fivel's occult leanings insist on something that is literally hidden, but whereas in Poitiers the attempt to orchestrate an environment was hampered by the more traditional exhibition format and the tackiness of the individual pieces, at Le Commissariat there was only the situation, which spilled out into the street, activating the environment as an element in an urban theater.

The Best Valuable Free Apps For Your Windows 11 PC | Screen Rant – Screen Rant
Microsoft has outfitted the Windows 11 OS with a plethora of applications, but these free PC apps take its capabilities to a whole new level.
Microsoft Windows 11 is an excellent operating system, but it can be even better with the help of these free and valuable PC applications. While the operating system comes with many pre-installed apps, it still lacks some integral features that many people need to complete their daily productivity tasks with ease. However, the beauty of the PC as a platform is that a fix for every problem is always available.
Windows 11 was released as a successor to the popular Windows 10 OS. Soon after its launch, it received some initial flak for not being compatible with older-gen PC hardware. Despite that initial hiccup, the Windows 11 OS came into its own a few months later. The latest version of the OS works well and offers the same level of performance as its predecessor. Windows 11 also introduced many new features like AUTO HDR, a redesigned UI, revamped Windows store and more. However, despite these changes, Windows 11 is still missing a couple of essential apps.

Thankfully, over the years, PC software developers worldwide have made some of the best applications that users can download and use to streamline their workflow. These apps include an intuitive streaming software, a writing assistant, an improved search tool and more. The best part is that all these applications are free and help significantly to improve the experience of using a Windows 11 PC.
Recording and streaming can be a challenge. OBS makes these processes easy. Its easy-to-navigate interface is a welcoming feature for new PC users. Furthermore, the free PC streaming software also has an auto-configuration wizard, which automatically selects the best setting based on the task at hand. Users can choose the resolution, FPS, and recording quality of their footage through OBS for easy optimization. OBS is also available for free on Steam, which is very convenient.
Search on the Windows 11 is a little bit slow. For most PC users, it is easier to search the entire internet instead of their own device. This is precisely where the free search app Everything comes in. It is a powerful and helpful tool to search and locate any file on a Windows 11 PC at lightning-fast speed. Everything also allows users to search for a specific file type, thus enhancing the search operation. The app also has the cut, copy, paste feature built into it so users can easily manage their files.
To get the most out of a computer, a user must know their PC, and the HWiNFO is an awesome tool for doing so. It reveals details of all the components in a computer and how they're working at any given time. Users can use it to check the performance of their CPU, GPU and memory. HWiNFO also has a feature that allows users to log data in the background while their computer finishes any particular task. Once completed, it delivers in-depth information regarding power consumed, the maximum temperature reached, and more by the CPU and GPU.
GPU overclocking is often the first step PC users take as they begin their journey of tinkering with other components. Mainly because overclocking a GPU has an immediate effect on improved gaming performance. Meaning with a little bit of tinkering, PC users can get more life out of their old GPUs. However, this procedure is not without its drawbacks. Overclocking a GPU beyond its limits can physically destroy it along with other components in a PC. Thankfully Heaven is a life-saving tool that PC users can use to check the stability of their GPU overclock. It runs a pre-defined graphic scene to check the performance of a GPU in any given state.
For users who need to reply to many emails or inquiries daily, Espanso is a lifesaver. It is an open-source text expander that allows users to skip typing similar sentences repeatedly. With Espanso, users can create various templates for replying to different cases. It also has a search bar allowing users to search for any specific snippet that they're looking for. Furthermore, since it is an open-source app, users can install personalized packages according to their needs. It is an application with enormous potential, but its text-expanding feature will suffice for most users.
According to scientific studies, staring at screens during nighttime reduces melatonin production, the hormone responsible for managing the body's sleep-wake cycle. It is especially bad for people who feel extra productive during the night or who have to work late due to a special project. The free Windows 11 app f.lux works to solve this exact issue. It changes the color of a computer screen depending upon the time of day. During the night, it'll set the screen's color tone to warm, and during the daytime, it'll restore the screen to its original state. It quietly works in the background and slowly changes the screen color as the night dawns. It is one of the most useful Windows apps out there.

Living Portrait: Robert Briggs
Third in series of portraits by George Etheredge
Living Portrait: Robert Briggs Third in series of portraits by George Etheredge Check out this story on citizen-times.com: http://avlne.ws/1MNlLuu
Asheville Published 11:56 a.m. ET March 19, 2015
Robert Briggs(Photo: George Etheredge/Special to the Citizen-Times)
For March's Living Portraits series, freelance photographer George Etheredge is exploring the connection between some of Western North Carolina's oldest residents with the landscape they have lived in their entire lives.
While looking for places or people to photograph, I often drive aimlessly down windy mountain roads searching and hoping to find a conversation or small insight into the mountain landscape that surrounds me.
On one of my countless miniature road trips I ended up in Barnardsville, where I met Robert Briggs and his wife Pam, who run the Giving Tree Gift and Thrift Store in between working their day jobs. The store is dedicated to helping the community by providing affordable prices on mostly recycled goods.
When I met Robert, he was cooking hotdogs for his son and a friend over a fire in the green space next to the store. Robert was very open and kind, talking with me about the area and his life while he prepared the small meal for the kids.
Even in our fast-paced, technological world, there are people who still prefer to live in slower communities built on tradition. "God and family is what is important," Robert said.
Robert is a native of Weaverville, where he is a welder by trade.
"We are at least a fourth-generation family to this region of Western North Carolina," he said. "My father worked for 25 years and retired from Square D back when it was common to maintain the same job for your entire working career."
Robert finds gratitude and happiness in the mountain landscape and can't dream of finding anywhere better to raise a family and spend his life.
"I will always consider this my home, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere else," Robert said. "This area is home to me; it holds my heart and is full of memories of family and friends and growing up in a small town.
"It offers just the right amount of the four seasons, where we can enjoy the mountains and what they have to offer. We are fortunate enough to live in an area where people still know each other by name and where communities still pull together to help out one another when in need."
Robert continued: "Everything is important in some aspect, you just need to know how to prioritize them. There is a time when a simple garden hoe is important when it's time to raise crops. A car is important to get you to work and back; however, God and family will always take first place in what really matters."
Robert talked about the growth in people coming to Barnardsville, attributing it to the desire for a simpler way of life. But the move away from the hustle and bustle of a city has its limitations in the form of fewer jobs and more poverty.
"Even though the population is growing, this area has been able to maintain its small town atmosphere, where you can still walk down the street and recognize your friends and neighbors that you grew up with," he said.
Robert considers his ability to live in the mountains with a family he loves greater than anything.
"There are many ways to measure a man's wealth, (and) perhaps if a bank account is measured, you may consider it poverty," he said. "If you measure how much love that a man has for his family and for his creator, you will find riches that are not of this earth.
"It will depend upon whose opinion you are asking. I am of the opinion that many Appalachian (people) are richer beyond measures."
Robert believes people who choose to live in the mountains do it not for material possessions but to live off the land, devote time to their family and serve their God.
"It has become a new and popular lifestyle for many to have the means to raise their own healthy foods and share them with their neighbors as well," he said. "More and more it is becoming a deliberate choice and a desirable way of life rather than what may have before seemed like unfortunate circumstances.
"It's an Appalachian heritage where roots still grow deep and you raise your family to know that they are loved regardless of what material things you possess."
Each month, a local photographer hosts the Living Portrait Series, choosing a theme and different subjects to photograph and interview each week.
The goal is two-fold: to share and champion work by local photographers, and to foster a greater understanding of the people and perspectives in the community.

During the past several years I have researched and documented more than two dozen murders involving Staten Island and/or Staten Islanders. Many have been quite unique. The following is a killing that occurred in Manhattan with the killer attempting to utilize a series of Staten Island transports in an effort to permanently discard of the body. While his explanations for committing the crime and his actions were certainly exceptional, it is here once again proven that unreciprocated love will lead many individuals to behavior that is neither rational nor amusing.
Victim disposal is problematic for members of the killing community. Now here was a novel idea. Slay someone in Manhattan. Bind their lifeless body in cords and drapes. Hail a cab. Board the Staten Island Ferry. Disembark on said island. Hail another cab and head for the Elizabethport Ferry. Go aboard another ferry, this time sailing for New Jersey. All of this while lugging a recently deceased dead body—borough to borough no less. An interesting detail, or one of the more interesting, and odd, details of this narrative is that no one questioned the man's carry-on luggage until he arrived at the Elizabethport dock (today known as Howland Hook, corrupted from the Dutch name of Holland Hook).
Eulogio Lozado emigrated from the Philippines to the United States in 1909. Upon his arrival in the United States he enlisted in the Navy where he served four years. Around 1920, Dr. George McAuliffe hired him through an employment agency. Enraptured with Blossom Martin, the more she expressed disgust at his overtures, the more he obsessed about obtaining her love.
The packaged body of Blossom Martin weighed approximately 140 pounds. When unpacked by the police she was fully clothed. Blossom was doubled up, trussed with a clothesline rope, covered in brown paper and wrapped in the portiere torn from a window of the McAuliffe home. One cab driver was so concerned about Lozado's hefty package that he offered to help the burden bearer. Lozado declined the suggestion. The killer's original intention was to drop the body over the side of the Staten Island Ferry as it crossed the New York Harbor, but so many people stared as he struggled with his load he abandoned this scheme. It seems Lozado had boarded the "Theater Boat" which included a throng of day trippers returning from Broadway performances. When he arrived at Saint George Lozado sought and found a cab to bring him to Holland Hook. Stepping onto the boat he headed directly to the rail where he began to heave his load over the side. Ticket collector Anthony Maffe, who had been observing the little man and his big bundle since he exited the cab, ran up and prevented Lozado from releasing his burden. Maffe claimed that the look of fear on Lozado's face informed him that a body was in the wrapping, so he pinned the man's arms behind his back and yelled for assistance. Several deckhands responded, a rope was located, and Lozado himself was bound and nicely wrapped to await the police.
The ferry terminal at Saint George, Staten Island where Eulogio Lozado landed with his "unique" bundle. Postcard, circa 1910s.
Blossom's mother, Mrs. Harvey Martin of Troy, New York, told reporters that during a recent visit her daughter had confided that Lozado threatened to kill her with a revolver or by strangulation. Lozado had in fact fired a shot at her prior to the murder. When Blossom reported the event to Gervais McAuliffe he replied that he would take the gun from Lozado. Furthermore, he informed Blossom that there was no need to report the incident to the police. The medical practice did not need that kind of publicity.
In addition to his other heartaches concerning Blossom Martin, Lozado was greatly disturbed by a male suitor who often took the young woman on auto drives and other outings. He was indignant about the relationship and often "scolded" Blossom for seeing the man. The Filipino denied that he murdered Blossom because he was jealous of this relationship. Instead he claimed to have killed her while she was attempting to stab him with a knife. Lozado insisted it was self-defense. But Lozado was in fact so fixated on Blossom Martin that he had bought her a three hundred dollar diamond engagement ring. Even though she had spurned all of his romantic advances the deranged man still believed Blossom would marry him.
With the arrest of Eulogio Lozado police questioned whether he was responsible for the death of seventeen year old Ream Constance Hoxie. The teen was murdered by a man who answered an ad for a room rental at her West Eighty Ninth Street residence during February 1920. Miss Hoxie was cruelly slammed over the head with a club or crow bar and then strangled in the same manner as Blossom. The murderer also bore a keen resemblance to Lozado while the office and home of Dr. McAuliffe was not far from the Hoxie address.
The jury refused to accept Eulogio Lozado's account. After ten and a half hours of deliberation at 2:30 a.m. on November 3 they announced that the house servant was guilty of murder in the first degree—a decision that brought an automatic death sentence.
Eulogio Lozado was not smiling now. A tortured man he was incarcerated at the Sing Sing Death House. The nurse killer refused to sleep. He was hallucinating that his captors would take him in a slumbering state to the execution chamber. To avoid this end he believed he had to stay awake. The only rest he realized was when his eyes would no longer stay open and he passed out. In response a lunacy examination was called for to determine Lozado's sanity. Investigators determined that he was sane. On June 3, 1924, the Court of Appeals upheld Lozado's conviction. The death sentence would take place. Lozado was now taking his situation in good stride or he really was insane. His mood having taken another turn Lozado's spent his days laughing for hours.
Before removal from his cell for electrocution guards discovered a magazine bound with string and fastened at the ends with hardened chewing gum. Lozado refused to divulge his plan for the tool but prison staff firmly believed it was a bludgeon that could, if used, inflict damage. In the end Lozado's chuckling and chortling had ceased, and he was calmly escorted to his electrocution. He even ate a hearty dinner. A few hundred dollars and a paltry number of possessions were included in a last minute will compiled by the killer. Near the end he told Father Cashin "I am poor and a dark man, so I don't think there is much hope for me."[x] Eulogio Lozado was belted into the electric chair and pronounced dead at 11:15 p.m. It was July 24, 1924.
On the anniversary of Blossom's murder commencing around 1959, her brother Charles took out a memorial notice in the Times Record of Troy, New York, Blossom's hometown. Each year the memorial featured poetry or acknowledgement of the number of years since her demise. In addition, Charles always expressed his love for Blossom and the fact that he missed her. These notices were published until at least 1973, the fiftieth anniversary of her murder. They always appeared on June 8, the day Eulogio Lozado brutally strangled Blossom Martin.

Myolie Wu Hang-yee (born 6 November 1979) is a Hong Kong actress and singer. She is previously managed by Hong Kong TVB television station and Neway Star. In 2011, she won Best Actress for her role in Curse of the Royal Harem, Most Favourite TV Female Character for her role in Ghetto Justice and also "Extraordinary Elegant Actress" at the TVB Anniversary Awards 2011, making her the first ever Triple TV Queen of the year. Wu left TVB in 2015.

Early years
In her schooling days, Myolie Wu received high school education in Boarding School at Methodist College Belfast, Northern Ireland. She later returned to Hong Kong and attended the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, majoring in Biochemistry.

During her first year in university, Wu took part the Miss Hong Kong pageant in 1999 and clinched second runner-up. Shortly afterward, she signed on to TVB as a full-time contracted artiste and withdrew from school.

Career

Acting
In her early years, Myolie Wu started out as supporting characters in television serials. Her acting began to gain recognition through her breakthrough performance in Golden Faith, in which she portrayed the mentally challenged younger sister of Gallen Lo. Her role was well received by the audience and she was awarded the Most Improved Female Artiste Award at the 2002 TVB Anniversary Awards.

Wu was offered her first lead role in Survivor's Law in 2003. In the same year, she also starred in the classic TVB drama Triumph in the Skies alongside veteran actors Francis Ng and Flora Chan. Both series received high viewership ratings and she soon rose to popularity.

In 2005, TVB aired five drama serials in which Wu was lead actress. She received further acknowledgement for her acting in the hit series Wars of In-Laws where she played the shrewd daughter in-law of Liza Wang. The same serial was also what sparked her ongoing rumours with co-star Bosco Wong.

In 2007, Wu was paired with Mainland actor Feng Shao Feng in the TVB-CCTV joint production The Drive Of Life. The couple was well received by fans. She also starred as Chow Lai-Man in the second installment of War of In-Laws, Wars of In-Laws II in the same year.

Wu took another step in her acting career in 2009 by filming her first Mainland drama Beauty's Rival in Palace, in which she guest-starred in for five episodes and was once again paired with Feng Shao Feng. The drama achieved a high viewership rating and her performance was well-praised. She continued to film her second Mainland series Happy Mother-in-Law, Pretty Daughter-in-Law as lead actress the same year and gained widespread popularity in Mainland China.

She also filmed her third Mainland drama Racecourse alongside boyfriend Bosco Wong in late 2010. The series was their third collaboration portraying a couple.

In 2011, Wu starred in TVB dramas The Rippling Blossom, Ghetto Justice, and Curse of the Royal Harem and all three series were listed as Top 5 in viewership ratings of the year. She was crowned "TV Queen" at the 2011 TVB Anniversary Awards after being awarded Best Actress in a Leading Role for her role in Curse of the Royal Harem and My Favorite Female Character for her role in Ghetto Justice. She was also voted by the audience as the Most Extraordinary Elegant Actress (Bosco Wong won the male equivalent) during the awards, making her the first ever TVB actress to win 3 awards at the same award ceremony. By the summer of 2015, after 16 years with TVB, Wu decided not to renew her contract with TVB to explore new prospects. Despite former TVB actors heavily critical of TVB's treatment towards their stars, she only offered her gratitude and bid farewell to the station. With the support of her fellow TVB actresses, Wu opened a bridal studio business as part of her venture into business.

Music
Myolie Wu took the first step in her singing career through singing the theme song for her television series War and Destiny in 2007.

She then signed on to the music label Neway Star in 2008 and released her first EP entitled Evolve. In 2009, she released her second EP Loveholic and held her first solo mini-concert. The concert version Liveholic of her EP Loveholic was then released in early 2010.

She continued to sing theme songs for TVB's television series.

Personal life
Myolie Wu is best friends with Nancy Wu, Paisley Wu, Elaine Yiu, Mandy Wong and Selena Lee. They had formed the friendship group "胡說八道會" and filmed a travel show together.

After ending her 8-year relationship with Bosco Wong, Wu began dating British born Philip Lee in 2014. They got married in December 2015. It was announced on 14 May 2017 via Instagram that she was expecting her first child with her husband. On 13 October 2017, Wu gave birth to the couple's first son, Brendan, which she announced via Instagram. On 21 June 2019, she gave birth to their second son, Ryan. In 2020, she announced she is pregnant with their third child. On 4 April 2021, she gave birth to their third son, Liam.

Athos Busi of Bologna, trading as Officine Meccaniche Busi, built frames for mopeds and scooters in which a variety of engines were installed.
In 1952 they began production of lightweight Moto Nettunia motorcycles with unit construction 4-speed two-stroke engines of 125 and 160cc which have a distinct similarity to those by Sterzi. Early models had friction disc rear damping, it is possible there was a 1954 model with plunger rear suspension, and by 1956 or so they had modern hydraulic rear dampers. Front suspension was telescopic. There are records at dati.acs which show a Busi logo above Nettunia 125 on official documents, and another submitted November 1951 with just the Busi logo, for all the world a BMW logo with a trident embossed upon it.
They also built smaller machines, the Nettunia 98 being powered by a 98cc two-stroke engine possibly from Parilla. It had a rigid rear end and light telescopic forks, and a sprung solo saddle.
NB. Sources vary, with formation dates as early as 1940 and closure in 1952.

Q: @Autowired bean is null in Test Listener class This question was asked before Using Autowired in a TestExecutionListener class for BeforeClass junit however it wasn't answered. I am facing the same problem but haven't figured out the solution
Example: I am getting null mapper.
public class CustomExecutionListener extends AbstractTestExecutionListener {

@Autowired
private Mapper mapper;

@Override
public void beforeTestClass(TestContext testContext) {}
... some code...
}

Test Class: Note: AppConfig contains the Mapper Bean defined.
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners(listeners = {DependencyInjectionTestExecutionListener.class, CustomExecutionListener.class})
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {AppConfig.class})
public class AccountControllerTest {
....
}

A: Dependency injection is not supported for TestExecutionListener instances.
Dependency injection is only supported for test instances.
Thus, if your CustomExecutionListener needs to access a bean from the ApplicationContext, it will have to look it up manually -- for example, like this:
public void beforeTestClass(TestContext testContext) {

    Mapper mapper = testContext.getApplicationContext().getBean(Mapper.class);

    // ... some code...

}

Regards,
Sam (author of the Spring TestContext Framework)

A: You can also try this: Mapper mapper = Mappers.getMapper(Mapper.class);


Today we recognize Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, an important civil rights leader and overall humanitarian. It is through his life and dream that many of us, including myself, are able to live the lives we have today. I hope that everyone recognizes this and takes the day to honor his memory and legacy. It is also important that those of us who have children take the time out to teach them the importance of this day. If you can, use the time off to perform community service and help improve the lives of others. I'm about to do just that, so I hope everyone has a fantastic day!

Q: WWF components for ASP.NET - any out there to view workflows? we use Windows Workflow Foundation internally on a large data manipulation and loading operation. Some of the workflows are complicated and take, with their sub-workflows - significant time, up to a total runtime for the main workflow of arounr 3-4 hours at the moment. THis is expected.... but it would be nice to be able to see where a workflow is.
We have an ASP.NET front end for the operational users. We would lvoe for them to be able to open a page showing a specific running workflow instance in a visualization with basically presenting a way to see the status of the activities (i.e. which activity executed, which is currently executing). No editing is required here . the idea is purely one of not having a black box 3 hour run. We are writing log entries internally which can be seen, but as always, a picture says more than a thousand words, and a visual presentation would definitly be better for them.
Anyone knows of any suite of components for asp.net (preferably mvc) that can visualize a server side running workflow? Editing is NOT required.

A: This is perhaps not exactly what you are looking for...
I am not aware of any ready-made components but perhaps you can built one for your self using WF designer. See this sample that hosts workflow designer on server side, capture the image and shows it on the page. It uses custom tracking services to depict which activity has run. Unfortunately, its a dated article and I am not sure if similar approach can work in .NET 4 (AFAIK, workflow designer has changed in .NET 4).
In case designer can not be hosted then you may try painting workflow activities/nodes by custom code. You have to use tracking to see the workflow state.

Bad driving a disease and can be cured Chinese doctor says
Impact Lab > Business > Bad driving a disease and can be cured Chinese doctor says
Business, Health & Fitness, Science & Technology News
Dr. Jin Huiqing says you can treat bad driving like a disease you can diagnose before the driver even gets near a car.
Someone is killed in traffic every five minutes in China and one entrepreneurial doctor has an unusual approach for making roads safer. He says to treat bad driving like a disease you can diagnose before the driver even getting near a car.
Dr Jin Huiqing has spent nearly three decades trying to figure out why some motorists seem more accident prone than others. He has translated his research into a lucrative business selling his road safety program to Chinese municipalities. At least one city using his methods reports a dip in traffic deaths.
He has studied the records of thousands of Chinese bus, van and cab drivers, put dozens through neurological tests, examined hundreds of blood samples. Since last year, he has even been trying to find gene markers for bad drivers.
"Cars can be fitted with the highest levels of equipment : safety belts, air bags, and so on. Roads can be more regulated. But people, how can you help them become better?" Jin said in an interview in the central city of Hefei, where he is based. "People still need to be controlled, they must face restrictions."
Jin tries to target the root cause of crashes by identifying the physical or psychological traits of poor drivers, such as risk-taking or poor response time under stress, and keeping them off the streets or ensuring they get adequate training.
The cost of traffic casualties is so high that accident prone people should at least be barred from driving commercially, he said.
Similar studies have sparked debate among researchers, with many dismissing the findings as too uncertain . As for taking a genetic approach, the logical extreme could limit someone's right to drive based on their DNA clearly a politically unfeasible notion.

Q: Google Cloud Dataflow UDF adding numeric schema I am using Dataflow to connect Google Cloud Pub-Sub and BigQuery. My Pub-Sub messages are in JSON form and have a field called Temp with the temperature in degrees Celsius. I am trying to add schema for the temperature in Celsius and Fahrenheit called TempC and TempF to the BigQuery table as well as the timestamp. The code correctly adds the timestamp, but not TempC and TempF.
I copied the code into an HTML document with some sample JSON text and it works fine there.
Is there something weird where the UDF can't create numeric schema?
My UDF in javascript is:
 /**
 * A transform function which adds the timestamp and converts temp from c to f
 * @param {string} inJson
 * @return {string} outJson
 */
function transform_udf1(inJson) {
  var obj = JSON.parse(inJson);

  var timestamp = getTime();
  var tempc = parseFloat(obj.Temp);
  var tempf = tempc * (9/5) + 32;

  obj.Timestamp = timestamp;
  obj.TempC = tempc;
  obj.TempF = tempf;

  return JSON.stringify(obj);

}

function getTime() {
    var d = new Date();
    return d;
}

A: I was able to work around it by performing the conversions in javascript on my website.
