It sounds like things aren't going so well over at Gilt in the New York Palace Hotel, even in spite of that kick it got from featuring the Gossip Girl grilled cheese sandwich on its menu. Yesterday we received a goldmine of a press release that we can only categorize as high comedy. It begins: "The bar at Gilt is more than just the place to be seen – it's a sexy dining and imbibing experience unto itself...the bar at Gilt is architecturally stunning, with dramatic lighting meant to set the mood." Oh but that is just the beginning. Key words and phrases used to describe the cocktails and the space: "decadent", "innovative", "futuristic" "awe-inspiring", and "envy-worthy". And then there's this line: "Your sweet tooth will be crying out for more once it gets a taste of David Carmichael's desserts." But let's just take a look at the release in full:
"The bar at Gilt is more than just the place to be seen – it's a sexy dining and imbibing experience unto itself. Situated in the historic New York Palace Hotel, the bar at Gilt is architecturally stunning, with dramatic lighting meant to set the mood.
It is a decadent treat that doesn't totally break the bank. The bar at Gilt is a must-see destination with over 40 wines by the glass and a grand selection of innovative cocktails.
The cocktails at Gilt mimic the feel of the New York Palace Hotel. Those wishing to evoke the old-world glamour of the opulent 1882 Villard Mansion can enjoy classic cocktails such as the Sidecar with Courvoisier VSOP, Cointreau, fresh lemon juice and a sugar rim and the Kir Royale with Edmond Briottet Crème de Cassis de Dijon and Brut Champagne.
Others who desire a more futuristic experience, like the design of the bar at Gilt itself, can enjoy modern cocktails like the Muse Vert with Hendrick's Gin, Junmai Ginjo Sake, cucumber juice and Tarragon and Chef Lee's Bourbon Smash with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, fresh mint, lemon and a sugar rim.
Now open seven nights a week, the bar serves as a perfect complement to Chef Christopher Lee's avant-garde, yet still accessible cuisine.
The fare offered at the bar is whimsical and delicious. The famed Gossip Grill – "You Know You Love It" featuring black truffles and fontina cheese is a critic's choice and the Thin Crusted Pizza with lamb merguez, olives, feta cheese and roasted tomato sauce will satisfy any palate.
Your sweet tooth will be crying out for more once it gets a taste of David Carmichael's desserts. The Strawberry Rhubarb Crumble with vanilla puff chips and chantilly takes advantage of in-season ingredients. The Sicilian Pistachio Mille Feuille with Orange Scented Crème is a refreshing end (or beginning) to wonderful night out.
It is awe-inspiring, it is envy-worthy, it is Gilt."

Asus Unveils Tiny 1200 Watt Power Supply with 16-pin PCIe 5.0 Power Connector
By Anton Shilov published 5 January 22
Compact systems get 1.2 kW of power with an Asus Loki SFX-L power supply.
(Image credit: Asus)
Asus has introduced the industry's first SFX-L 1,200W power supply unit and it comes equipped with a 16-pin auxiliary PCIe 5.0 power connector. The PSU is designed for ultra-high-performance compact systems that use high-end power-hungry CPUs and graphics cards.
The Asus ROG Loki family of ATX-compliant modular PSUs is set to be available in 1200W, 1000W, 850W, and 750W versions, all of which come equipped with a 16-pin PCIe Gen5 auxiliary power connector that can deliver up to 600W of power to high-end graphics or other kinds of accelerators. Traditionally for high-end PSUs, the ROG Loki lineup uses low-ESR Japanese capacitors and supports 'a slew of protection mechanisms.'
Cooling is one of the primary challenges associated with designing such a powerful PSU, so Asus had to use truly high-quality components and cool them efficiently. Still, it remains to be seen how loud the PWM-controlled fan is under high loads.
As for efficiency, the highest-end 1200W ROG Loki power supply carries the 80 Plus Titanium badge (which means that it is at least 90% – 94% efficient under a 20%, 50%, and 100% load for 110V and 94% - 96% efficient under a 20%, 50% and 100% load for 230V). By contrast, the remaining PSUs carry the 80 Plus Platinum badge (which means they are at least 89% - 94% efficient, depending on input voltage).
Asus plans to start selling its ROG Loki SFX-L PSUs this year, but it hasn't disclosed when it will arrive or what the recommended prices will be. All power supplies will be covered with a 10-year warranty, whereas the RGB LED will be backed by a three-year warranty.
Although hardware developers pay close attention to the energy efficiency of their products these days, high-end parts are slowly gaining power consumption since there is cut-throat competition in the high-performance PC market. To that end, even compact gaming PCs are slowly gaining power consumption. To power such systems, all new 1,000W+ SFX/SFX-L PSUs are needed even for compact systems. It looks like Asus is the first to offer one.
One thing to note about SFX-L PSUs is that they are 3 cm deeper than SFX power supplies, so they do not fit into typical Mini-ITX cases that follow the form factor guidelines completely. Meanwhile, they will fit perfectly into gaming Mini-ITX chassis that has plenty of space inside.

* Two WS2811 fused and buffered outputs.
* Real Time Clock for Standalone.
Dave, what type of connector for the WS2811 strings? I dont see the 4 pin european type connector like on the V2 boards.
Would you be able to run LOR controllers off the RS-485 output and also run a few WS2811 strings from the other outputs at the same time/off the same PiCap? Would you need a LOR dongle attached to the PiCap to run the LOR controllers? Thank You!
Is it using the DMX or the LOR protocol? It appears that you can select between 3 separate protocols. Why even mention the LOR protocol if you are just using DMX. While LOR controllers can understand DMX, you cannot use the built in functions when using DMX. It's too bad that PixelNet wasn't included in this selection.
The three listed outputs (LOR, Renard, DMX) all use different pinouts.
The jumpers make that change. Since RS485 is a Differential signal, the +Data and -Data must be on the correct RJ45 pins to work.
The RS-485 output on this board connects to the Pi's onboard serial port, so it can actually be used for any serial output that FPP supports, which includes PixelNet, LOR, Renard, DMX, GenericSerial, and even Triks-C if the UI was updated to list the device name for the onboard serial. There is only one serial output though, so it will only support one Pixelnet universe.
I understand that but there are 3 jumpers. Two if them can control the position of the pins that the data lines are on so what is the purpose of the third?
One universe is all I need for this purpose. Is there any documentation on any of this?
Captain Murdoch, if the RasPi serial port controls the output on the PiCap (independent of the WS281X out), I see that it would allow all those protocols, including Pixelnet (4096 channels). The jumpers just make sure the +data and -data are on the correct pins inside the RJ45 jack.
I'll edit my earlier post.
And, the third jumper is for a ground line.
Checkout this thread http://falconchristmas.com/forum/index.php/topic,3399.msg54720.html#msg54720 for info on the changes you need to make to disable the serial console and set the port to allow DMX and Pixelnet. I want to get a script setup to automatically apply these changes, but that may way until v2.0.
Thank you for the explanation, this is a versatile board, very excited to use it!
I have two questions about this cap, maybe I missed this information.
1. What version of RPi is it compatible with?
2. Can the cap power the RPi?

Richard Hooker (25 March 1554 – 2 November 1600) was an English priest in the Church of England and an influential theologian. He was one of the most important English theologians of the sixteenth century.  His defence of the role of redeemed reason informed the theology of the seventeenth-century Caroline Divines and later provided many members of the Church of England with a theological method which combined the claims of revelation, reason and tradition.

Scholars disagree regarding Hooker's relationship with what would later be called "Anglicanism" and the Reformed theological tradition. Traditionally, he has been regarded as the originator of the Anglican via media between Protestantism and Catholicism. However, a growing number of scholars have argued that he should be considered as being in the mainstream Reformed theology of his time and that he only sought to oppose the extremists (Puritans), rather than moving the Church of England away from Protestantism. The term "Anglican" is not found in his writings and indeed first appears early in the reign of Charles I as the Church of England moved towards an Arminian position doctrinally and a more "Catholic" look liturgically under the leadership of Archbishop William Laud.

Youth (1554–1581)
Details of Hooker's life come chiefly from Izaak Walton's biography of him.  Hooker was born in the village of Heavitree in Exeter, Devon sometime around Easter Sunday (March) 1554. He attended Exeter Grammar School until 1569.  Richard came from a good family, but one that was neither noble nor wealthy.  His uncle John Hooker was a success and served as the chamberlain of Exeter.

Hooker's uncle was able to obtain for Richard the help of another Devon native, John Jewel, bishop of Salisbury.  The bishop saw to it that Richard was accepted to Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he became a fellow of the society in 1577. In addition to his assistance securing admittance, Jewel also agreed to fund Hooker's education.  On 14 August 1579 Hooker was ordained a priest by Edwin Sandys, then bishop of London. Sandys made Hooker tutor to his son Edwin, and Richard also taught George Cranmer, the great nephew of Archbishop Thomas Cranmer.  In 1580 he was deprived of his fellowship for "contentiousness" having campaigned for the losing candidate (Rainoldes, a lifelong friend who would become a leader of the Puritan party and participate in the Hampton Court Conference of 1604) in a contested election to the presidency of the college.  However, he recovered it when Rainoldes finally assumed the post".

London and marriage (1581–1595)
In 1581, Hooker was appointed to preach at St Paul's Cross and he became a public figure, more so because his sermon offended the Puritans by diverging from their theories of predestination.  Some ten years before Hooker arrived in London, the Puritans had produced an "Admonition to Parliament" together with "A view of Popish Abuses" and initiated a long debate which would last beyond the end of the century.  John Whitgift (soon to become Archbishop of Canterbury) produced a reply, and Thomas Cartwright a reaction to the reply. Hooker was drawn into the debate through the influence of Edwin Sandys and George Cranmer.

He was also introduced to John Churchman, a distinguished London merchant who became Master of the Merchant Taylors' Company.  It was at this time, according to his first biographer Walton, that Hooker made the "fatal mistake" of marrying his landlady's daughter, Jean Churchman. As Walton put it: "There is a wheel within a wheel; a secret sacred wheel of Providence (most visible in marriages), guided by His hand that allows not the race to the swift nor bread to the wise, nor good wives to good men: and He that can bring good out of evil (for mortals are blind to this reason) only knows why this blessing was denied to patient Job, to meek Moses, and to our as meek and patient Mr Hooker."  However, Walton is described by Christopher Morris as an "unreliable gossip" who "generally moulded his subjects to fit a ready-made pattern," and both he and John Booty give the date of the marriage as 1588.  Hooker seems to have lived on and off with the Churchmans until 1595 and, according to Booty, he "seems to have been well treated and considerably assisted by John Churchman and his wife".

Hooker became rector of St. Mary's Drayton Beauchamp, Buckinghamshire, in 1584, but probably never lived there. The following year, he was appointed Master of the Temple in London by the Queen (possibly as a compromise candidate to those proposed by Lord Burleigh and Whitgift). There, Hooker soon came into public conflict with Walter Travers, a leading Puritan and Reader (lecturer) at the Temple, partly because of the sermon at Paul's Cross four years before, but mainly because Hooker argued that salvation was possible for some Roman Catholics. The controversy abruptly ended when Travers was silenced by the Archbishop in March 1586 and the Privy Council strongly supported the decision.

About this time, Hooker began to write his major work Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity, a critique of the Puritans and their attacks on the Church of England and particularly the Book of Common Prayer.

In 1591, Hooker left the Temple and was presented to the living of St Andrew's, Boscombe, Wiltshire to support him while he wrote. He seems to have lived mainly in London but apparently did spend time in Salisbury where he was subdean of Salisbury Cathedral and made use of the Cathedral Library.  The first four volumes of the major work were published in 1593, with a subsidy from Edwin Sandys, and apparently the last four were held back for further revision by the author.

Last years (1595–1600)
In 1595, Hooker became rector of the parishes of St. Mary the Virgin in Bishopsbourne and St. John the Baptist in Barham, both in Kent, and left London to continue his writing.  He published the fifth book of "Of the Laws" in 1597.  It is longer than the first four taken together. He died 3 November 1600 at his rectory in Bishopsbourne and was buried in the chancel of the church, being survived by his wife and four daughters.  His will includes the following provision: "Item, I give and bequeth three pounds of lawful English money towards the building and making of a newer and sufficient pulpitt in the p'sh of Bishopsbourne." The pulpit can still be seen in Bishopsbourne church, along with a statue of him. Subsequently, a monument was erected there by William Cowper in 1632 which described him as "judicious".

Works

Apart from the Lawes, Hooker's lesser writings, which are few in number, fall into three groups: those related to the Temple Controversy with Travers (including three sermons); those connected with the last writing of the last books of the Laws; and other miscellaneous sermons (four complete plus three fragments).

Learned Discourse of Justification
This sermon from 1585 was one of those that triggered Travers' attack and appeal to the Privy Council. Travers accused Hooker of preaching doctrine favourable to the Church of Rome when in fact he had just described their differences emphasising that Rome attributed to works "a power of satisfying God for sin".  For Hooker, works were a necessary expression of thanksgiving for unmerited justification by a merciful God. Hooker defended his belief in the doctrine of Justification by faith, but argued that even those who did not understand or accept this could be saved by God.

Hooker also expresses in this work the classic ordo salutis that recognises the distinction between justification and sanctification as two forms of righteousness while at the same time emphasising the role the sacraments have in justification. Hooker's approach to this topic is seen as a classic example of the Anglican via media.

Of the Lawes of Ecclesiastical Politie

Of the Lawes of Ecclesiastical Politie is Hooker's best-known work, with the first four books being published in 1594. The fifth was published in 1597, while the final three were published posthumously, and indeed may not all be his own work.  Structurally, the work is a carefully worked out reply to the general principles of Puritanism as found in the "Admonition" and Thomas Cartwright's follow-up writings, more specifically:
 Scripture alone is the rule that should govern all human conduct;
 Scripture prescribes an unalterable form of Church government;
 The English Church is corrupted by Roman Catholic orders, rites, and ceremonies;
 The law is corrupt in not allowing lay elders;
 "There ought not to be in the Church Bishops".
Of the Lawes has been characterised as "probably the first great work of philosophy and theology to be written in English". The book is far more than a negative rebuttal of the puritan claims: it is (here McAdoo quotes John S. Marshall) "a continuous and coherent whole presenting a philosophy and theology congenial to the Anglican Book of Common Prayer and the traditional aspects of the Elizabethan Settlement".

Quoting C. S. Lewis, Stephen Neill underlines its positive side in the following terms: hitherto, in England, "controversy had involved only tactics; Hooker added strategy. Long before the close fighting in Book III begins, the puritan position has been rendered desperate by the great flanking movements in Books I and II. ... Thus the refutation of the enemy comes in the end to seem a very small thing, a by-product."

It is a massive work that deals mainly with the proper governance of the churches ("polity").  The Puritans advocated the demotion of clergy and ecclesiasticism. Hooker attempted to work out which methods of organising churches are best. What was at stake behind the theology was the position of Queen Elizabeth I as the Supreme Governor of the Church.  If doctrine were not to be settled by authorities, and if Martin Luther's argument for the priesthood of all believers were to be followed to its extreme with government by the Elect, then having the monarch as the governor of the church was intolerable.  On the other side, if the monarch were appointed by God to be the governor of the church, then local parishes going their own ways on doctrine were similarly intolerable.

In political philosophy, Hooker is best remembered for his account of law and the origins of government in Book One of the Politie. Drawing heavily on the legal thought of Thomas Aquinas, Hooker distinguishes seven forms of law: eternal law ("that which God hath eternally purposed himself in all his works to observe"), celestial law (God's law for the angels), nature's law (that part of God's eternal law that governs natural objects), the law of reason (dictates of Right Reason that normatively govern human conduct), human positive law (rules made by human lawmakers for the ordering of a civil society), divine law (rules laid down by God that can only be known by special revelation), and ecclesiastical law (rules for the governance of a church). Like Aristotle, whom he frequently quotes, Hooker believes that humans are naturally inclined to live in society. Governments, he claims, are based on both this natural social instinct and on the express or implied consent of the governed.

The Laws is remembered not only for its stature as a monumental work of Anglican thought, but also for its influence in the development of theology, political theory, and English prose.

Scholastic thought in a latitudinarian manner

Hooker worked largely from Thomas Aquinas, but he adapted scholastic thought in a latitudinarian manner.  He argued that church organisation, like political organisation, is one of the "things indifferent" to God.  He wrote that minor doctrinal issues were not issues that damned or saved the soul, but rather frameworks surrounding the moral and religious life of the believer.  He contended there were good monarchies and bad ones, good democracies and bad ones, and good church hierarchies and bad ones: what mattered was the piety of the people.  At the same time, Hooker argued that authority was commanded by the Bible and by the traditions of the early church, but authority was something that had to be based on piety and reason rather than automatic investiture. This was because authority had to be obeyed even if it were wrong and needed to be remedied by right reason and the Holy Spirit.  Notably, Hooker affirmed that the power and propriety of bishops need not be in every case absolute.

Legacy
King James I is quoted by Izaak Walton, Hooker's biographer, as saying, "I observe there is in Mr. Hooker no affected language; but a grave, comprehensive, clear manifestation of reason, and that backed with the authority of the Scriptures, the fathers and schoolmen, and with all law both sacred and civil." Hooker's emphasis on Scripture, reason, and tradition considerably influenced the development of Anglicanism, as well as many political philosophers, including John Locke. Locke quotes Hooker numerous times in the Second Treatise of Civil Government and was greatly influenced by Hooker's natural-law ethics and his staunch defence of human reason. As Frederick Copleston notes, Hooker's moderation and civil style of argument were remarkable in the religious atmosphere of his time. In the Church of England he is celebrated with a lesser festival on 3 November and the same day is also observed in the calendars of other parts of the Anglican Communion.

Trump Is Running Hundreds Of Facebook Ads Praising Himself For The Killing Of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani
Within three days of the drone strike, the Trump campaign was using it to build support for his reelection.
By Alex Kantrowitz
Alex Kantrowitz BuzzFeed News Reporter
Posted on January 7, 2020, at 5:07 p.m. ET
President Donald Trump's reelection campaign is wasting little time capitalizing on the assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
Just three days after the death of the head of Iran's Quds Force, the president's reelection campaign began to run hundreds of ads praising Trump for ordering the killing — a decision that had been declined by presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
As of Tuesday, Facebook had taken down a few dozen of the ads, some of which appeared to violate the site's policy against using fake buttons in ads. Facebook did not respond to a request for clarification.
"Thanks to the swift actions of our Commander-in-Chief, Iranian General Qassem Soleimani is no longer a threat to the United States, or to the world,'' read one ad. "Take the Official Trump Military Survey TODAY to let me know what you think of my leadership as Commander-in-Chief."
The survey, meant to collect contact information for future outreach, contained questions like "Do you stand by President Trump in his decision to take out the very dangerous Iranian terrorist leader, Qassem Soleimani?" At the end, it asks respondents for their name, zip code, email, and phone number. Those who provided their phone number, according to a footnote, consented to receive texts, automated calls, and phone calls from the president's reelection campaign and the Republican National Committee.
The Trump campaign did not return a request for comment. It is typically very active on Facebook, having spent $2.3 million on more than 33,000 different ads over the past 30 days, according to the Facebook ad library report. Active ads about the Soleimani killing, as of Tuesday, made up 590 of those placements at an undetermined cost.
Over the past 30 days, the Trump campaign has far outpaced its Democratic rivals in terms of the number of ads placed on Facebook. The nearest challenger is Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, who has paid for approximately 14,000 ad placements, followed by billionaires Michael Bloomberg and Tom Steyer.

We'll find your happy place!
Imagine a most marvellous mansion, your dream house is here in Yass!
Lisa Herbert24 November 2019
An imposing, unpretentious country manor on acres near Yass. Photos: Supplied.
They say to dream of living in mansions and palaces predicts increased opportunity in life. Also that you should look at areas of your life that have not been developed or explored – there is a sense of need for a 'project'.
If that is the case for you, we present 1380 Cooks Hill Rd, Yass.
Offered for auction on 7 December, this is a stunning country mansion. Rarely does a magnificent homestead such as this one come on to the market.
Wide hallways, a wide stairway and a wide life awaits.
Generally very tightly held or passed down within families, properties like this are notoriously difficult to get your hands on.
This is a totally grand and imposing three-storey mansion, conveniently situated on a sealed road, on approximately 38.83 Hectares (95.95 acres) of land. The property is just 12 minutes drive from Yass township, 50 minutes from Canberra and three hours from Sydney.
An impressive nine bedrooms in this Yass Valley mansion, with French doors throughout the house.
A magnificent 1890s, double-brick homestead with a tower, formal lounge and stunning dining hall, polished floorboards, magnificent central staircase and wide verandahs. The home is placed on excellent grazing country, with good shade timber.
The impressive house contains no less than nine oversized bedrooms, fourteen fireplaces, two adjoining kitchens and three bathrooms plus a separate butler's pantry and storeroom.
Other features of this rambling, romantic edifice include a stunning grand internal staircase, huge wrap-around verandah on the second story and, to top it all off, giving the structure wonderful character, a spectacular 'widow's walk' viewing platform on the upper story.

Scale and grandeur meet you as you enter.
Water is via an almost lake-sized dam and there's approximately 144,000 litres rainwater storage underground.
An original barn and other outbuildings need some work, but have plenty of character and potential for stables or perhaps a venue/accommodation situation.
No less than fourteen fireplaces.
The house needs some love, but there is plenty to fall in love with. With some renovation, there is unlimited scope for expansion and business opportunities such as accommodation, AirBnB experiences, country weddings, wellness centre, or simply your own healing retreat.
Deep in the Yass Valley, in NSW's Southern Tablelands.
The current land has supported an ongoing small farm enterprise with sheep, cattle and horses.

Colonel Luis Florentino Juan Manuel Silvestre de los Dolores de la Carrera y Verdugo (1791 – April 8, 1818) was a Chilean military officer who fought in the Chilean War of Independence. Together with his brothers José Miguel and Juan José, they were some of most important leaders of Chilean struggle for independence during the period of the Patria Vieja ("Old Republic"). The Carrera family is of Basque origin.

Life
Luis Carrera was born in Santiago, the youngest son of Ignacio de la Carrera y Cuevas and of Francisca de Paula Verdugo Fernández de Valdivieso y Herrera. Carrera completed his first studies at the Convictorio Carolino, the best school in the country at the time. In 1813 – at the beginning of the Chilean War of Independence – he participated in the first encounter between the Patriot and Royalist troops at the Battle of Yerbas Buenas, as a commander of an artillery platoon. That same year he also participated in the disastrous Siege of Chillán, one of the most negative early experiences for the nascent Chilean Army, where after a long siege of the Spanish troops that were barricaded inside the city, the army had to withdraw in the midst of winter that same year. He also fought in the defense of Talca.

After the Spanish reconquista, the Carrera brothers were exiled to Argentina but continued campaigning from exile. On November 21, 1814 he killed Brigadier Juan Mackenna, one of the strongest supporters of General Bernardo O'Higgins, in a duel in the city of Buenos Aires. He was arrested and tried but later freed. Eventually, Luis was taken prisoner and executed in the city of Mendoza together with his brother Juan José by the military of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata in 1818.

Q: C# Wait for user input to continue with function I have a function where I need user input to do A or B.
if(userinput == "Confirm"){A}
else {B}
My question: Do I have to use dialogs, or may I use a panel with the message and two buttons for this?
What I have: Panel with textbox (message) and two buttons (confirm, cancel)
If yes, How may I accomplish that?
If no, how do I even use dialogs? (just point out a link)
(if you don't get my point so far, keep reading)

1) User fills a form
2) If that field is not unique on the database, it just get validated to be compatible with it
3) If that field is unique, or a primary key, however, it searches the database for the information connected to it
4) After getting that information, it checks if any other field built for that intel, is filled or empty
5) If that form has anything in it that the user has inserted, the system has to ask if it updates the form with the intel it just got, or if it fills only the empty fields, and keeps those which are not empty.
6) The function continues validating

A: You can use forms and manage DialogResult value. For doing that you have to make a new form where you want user to input. Then manage this way:
YourForm form = new YourForm();

if(form.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    MessageBox.Show("This is the input" + form.textBox1.Text)
}

More help in here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/es-es/library/c7ykbedk(v=vs.110).aspx

A: Let's say you have 2 buttons in your new form :
Button okButton = new Button();
Button cancelButton = new Button();

Assign click event for them :
okButton.Click += OnClick;
cancelButton.Click += OnClick;

Then inside your OnClick() method :
void OnClick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if(sender == okButton)
        this.DialogResult = DialogResult.Ok;

    this.Close();
}

Now you can use it like:
if(new MeForm().ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
{
    // user clicked OK
}
else
{
    // user clicked cancel
}

My Little Scythe is a shoe in for release this year
May 4, 2018 - 6:47am
My Little Scythe is a competitive, family-friendly, adventure, Euro game based on the enormously successful Scythe board game.
"...each player controls 2 animal miniatures embarking upon an adventure in the Kingdom of Pomme. In an effort to be the first to earn 4 trophies from 8 possible categories, players take turns choosing to Move, Seek, or Make. These actions will allow players to increase their friendship and pies, power up their actions, complete quests, learn magic spells, deliver gems and apples to Castle Everfree, and perhaps even engage in a pie fight." [source]
My Little Scythe is designed by Hoby Chou and his daughter, Vienna Chou, with artwork by Noah Adelman and Katie Khau. The game supports 1-6 players, aged 8+, and can be played in 45 mins. My Little Scythe was originally a fan created, print-and-play game that won the 2017 BoardGameGeek Best Print-and-play Game Award. It combined the theme of My Little Pony with gameplay mechanisms from Scythe. Considering the licensing hurdles with having to obtain the rights to produce a My Little Pony themed game, Stonemaier Games chose to theme the game in a different universe of their own making where players control cute pets going out on adventure. Pre-orders are available on the Stonemaier Games website for a limited time. The game will be pre-released at GenCon and GenCan't 2018 and will see retail release August 17th, 2018.
