Sending HOPE...at home and to the ends of the earth!
Wondering About How you can get involved?
Arbol International - planting trees. harvesting hope.
Joe and Mary Jo Ferrante are all about living the gospel of Jesus Christ, all the time, 24/7—in the marketplace, in their home, in the streets, with their friends, with people who know Christ and with those who are not Christians.
The focus of their formal ministry is teaching on "The Extravagant Love of the Father." For 25 consecutive years, Joe has logged over 100,000 air miles. He claims his second home is on United Airlines. Mary Jo accompanies him when feasible.
For many years, the primary venues of their teaching were Discipleship Training Schools (DTS) located at Youth With A Mission bases. Since 2006 that has expanded to include many Korean DTS schools in New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, and South Korea. Most of their students are full-time business people (which for Koreans often means 50-60 work hours a week) who then attend DTS evenings and/or weekends. Ministering to people with such a high level of commitment has been a deeply humbling experience for the Ferrantes.
In the last few years they have partnered with another ministry, this one in England, "A Call to Business." Their vision is to help men and women realize that being in business is as much a calling to full-time ministry as doing church work. The Ferrantes are part of the Call To Business leadership and presentation team at conferences in Europe several times a year.
Thank you for supporting, praying for, and believing in the multifaceted ministries of Joe and Mary Jo Ferrante—revealing Jesus no matter the cultural setting, no matter the occasion.


Had mentioned that long positions for the day can be taken above 10625 and short positions can be taken below 10605 . Nifty initially triggered our short trade and completed all targets .
Had mentioned in the previous post "Now this week Nifty needs to break and sustain / close above 10585 for a test of 10610 - 10615 initially and above it till 10635 - 10655 .Similarly Nifty needs to break and sustain / close below 10540 to test 10520 - 10515 initially and below it till 10495 - 10475 ." , and Nifty triggered our weekly long trade and made a high of 10638.35 this week testing our next targets of 10635 - 10655 .
Now in the coming session Nifty needs to break and sustain above 10595 to test 10605 - 10610 initially and sustaining above it we can see a further upmove till 10620 - 10630. Similarly breaking and sustaining below 10580 we can see a test of 10570 - 10565 initially and breaking and sustaining below it we can see a further correction till 10555 - 10545. The target range has narrowed down a lot in the past few sessions and we should see a trending move in the next 2 sessions .

Watch: Sarah Sanders Sends Dire Warning To Canada, Claims Trump Will Take Action Against Them
On Monday, during a White House press briefing, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders sent a threat to Canada, warning them to gear up for a financial battle with the United States.
"We've been very nice to Canada for many years, and they've taken advantage of that," Sanders said. "Particularly taking advantage of our farmers and at the G7."
She pointed out that Donald Trump "proposed that they get rid of all tariffs and drop all barriers and have really great trade and they refused that. And escalating tariffs against the United States does nothing to help Canada."
Sanders then claimed that Canada has been hurting American workers for years.
"The president is working to fix the broken system and he'll continue pushing for that," she said.
Take a look at the video clip below:

ECOR & DSM-Niaga: Two Scale-Ups Reaching New Heights Together
Follow the Fibers,
enabling your Circular Economy ambitions!
DSM-Niaga & ECOR: Two Scale-Ups Reaching New Heights Together
Two ambitious scale-ups with two innovative technologies. Combine them together and the possibilities are infinite. "One plus one is not two in this equation but eleven." That is what DSM-Niaga and Ecor experienced. Read below how directors Chris Reutelingsperger (Niaga) and Eric Logtens (Ecor) talk about their cooperation, market disruption, awareness around sustainability and circularity.
BY: JOYCE DE THOUARS (TRANSLATED BY ECOR)
Large bags filled with hemp and jeans lay on the floor of Ecor's R&D facility in Venlo, Cradle-to-Cradle capital of The Netherlands. Here they press panels or sheets out of these materials, using water, pressure and heat. Take two sheets, honeycomb cardboard and traditional veneer wood, glue them together with DSM-Niaga glue and you have an endless recyclable desktop.
Thanks to the innovative adhesive technology, the materials can easily be separated at the end of the use phase. By bringing them back into the production process new panels can be made using the same adhesive technology. This keeps the value of the materials at their highest possible level, as it should be in a circular economy.
"I did not know what a circular economy was," admits Reutelingsperger. "Until it turned out that I have been working on it for years. I just did not know it was called that way." Circular thinking is in Reutelingsperger's DNA. As a hobby he developed technologies with which materials can be continually reused and recycled. It grew into a company: Niaga, an anagram of again. Since DSM's fine chemicals company became involved, they started developing a scalable technology for fully recyclable carpet. This is how the DSM-Niaga joint venture was established.
Logtens is responsible at Ecor for the worldwide marketing of panels or sheets made from cellulose in residual "waste" streams. The potential is enormous, because the panels can be used for many applications: from ceiling tiles and marketing stands/displays to kitchen cabinets. The development of this technology took no less than nine years, it's now time to bring in revenue, "You can imagine that the level of ambition is very high, if you have been patient for the first dollar turnover", says Logtens.
"I did not know what a circular economy was, until it turned out that I have been working on it for years"
Both companies are busy scaling up and finding even more applications for their circular technologies. An important step in this is finding the right partners. The CE100 program of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation proved to be a suitable platform for finding 'like-minded' parties. The program is aimed at bringing together various stakeholders to accelerate the transition towards a circular economy. "Everybody there has the same ambition and we stimulate each other's creativity and ideas", reflects Logtens. It was there that the first contact between Ecor and DSM-Niaga was made.
New applications through collaboration
Not long after, the companies investigated possible ways for cooperation. The technologies were combined and tested in different applications, such as furniture. Logtens shows a kitchen door as an example: "The structure is two Ecor panels with a honeycomb cardboard in between. But for us to able to recycle these back into our production process to make new ones, there should be no oil-based paint or an adhesive that doesn't allow us to separate the materials". Lamination with DSM-Niaga adhesive is the perfect solution.
In order to understand the potential impact, think of everything that is made from chipboards: kitchen cabinets, office interiors, table baths. The hard-to-reclaim chipboards are often glued together with glue containing toxic substances such as phenol and formaldehyde. "By replacing these panels with Ecor panels glued together with Niaga-glue, the incinerator and landfill is now a thing of the past", says Logtens.
More collaborations and research for the development of fully recyclable products is on the program. The door is open to designers with fresh ideas for beautiful concepts, products and applications to broaden adoption of the technology. The starting point of the cooperation between DSM-Niaga and Ecor is 'Easy to do business with'.
Market disruption
It is a beautiful story and sounds very logical. How do you realize the ambition? And how do you get adaption by the market? Logtens replies resolutely "It is not an ambition, it is a reality, but most people have not seen it yet".
However, he does not expect the transformation to come from traditional industry, such as in Ecor's case, for example from the furniture industry. "A disruption almost never comes from the industry to which it relates, it almost always comes from outside. Those guys from Uber were not taxi drivers and those from Airbnb were not Hilton", compares Logtens. Ecor does not operate in the traditional way, for example by selling to wholesalers, but works directly with its end users. As a result, they skip the middlemen and also remain in control of the material flows needed to make the sustainable impact and their business model work.
"A disruption of an industry almost never comes from the industry to which it relates, it always comes from outside"
Reutelingsperger has a different view of the Logtens Uber analogy: "We were not the 'taxi drivers' but we did need the 'taxi companies' to validate our process." DSM-Niaga developed a technology for a fully recyclable polyester carpet. The carpet backing, the glue and the top are of the same material. This makes it possible to endlessly recycle the carpet, in contrast to traditional carpets that consist of several materials. A carpet made from polyester backing with nylon and wool fibers from DSM-Niaga can also be recycled, because the adhesive technology makes it easy to disconnect the materials.
"Our technology was so new that nobody believed it works," says Chris. Ultimately, American carpet producer Mohawk took on the role of validating the process. Every day thousands of square meters of the carpet are produced. "And now you see that the industry looks at it differently", Chris concludes. But ultimately it also applies here: the end user must also participate. This requires a higher awareness and better understanding of sustainability and circularity among both companies and consumers.
Sustainable awareness
Three carpet samples are laying on the table. A traditional carpet, a 100% bio-based carpet and the polyester carpet. "When people have the choice between a biobased carpet or a polyester carpet, many think the former is the most circular", says Reutelingsperger. "However, it is the polyester carpet that is endlessly recyclable."
"If you have an idea, do not start with the apple. Try to make a passion fruit out of it "
An increasing number of consumers are willing to pay more for a sustainable product. The problem is that it is not always clear what is really sustainable and circular. Reutelingsperger shows a packet of 'boxed water' that he bought for $5 in New York. "Under the masses, the cash register is ringing," he growls. "You can pack water in glass or in PET plastic, but not in paper. Of course you can make toilet paper from the paper, but that is not the same as packaging. "And that is what a circular economy is all about: what happens to materials at the end of a product's life cycle? "If I am a carpet producer, I want to continue with carpet," says Reutelingsperger.
From start-up to scale-up
It is remarkable that both companies are on the eve of scaling up after years of development. Many start-ups don't even get to the scale-up phase. What is that about? It starts with a really great idea, and not many people have those. Reutelingsperger calls it the 'apple theory'. "If you ask people to write down as much fruit as possible in 30 seconds, everyone comes with apple, and then pear comes, and then comes banana. Try to make it a passion fruit what comes out. "
A lack of discipline and perseverance is also common. Reutelingsperger compares it with a child who learns to walk: "Before a child can walk he or she falls 3,500 times. Most people fall three times and then think: that hurts, it does not work. "
Logtens adds that a good business model is crucial. "Even if you have such a wonderful technology, the business model has to work." For Logtens, that means looking through the eyes of the customer and not through the eyes of the company. Success is measured beyond turnover and profit margins. "It's also about how many jobs you have created, what you do on a micro-economic level, carbon footprint, and so on.".
Speed is an important factor with which companies can distinguish themselves. It's a feature that many start-ups have, but larger companies can also switch or pivot quickly. The collaboration between DSM-Niaga and Ecor proves this. "The combination of the two technologies has been validated in an extremely short timeframe looking from the perspective of DSM but this is for us normal" explains Logtens. It shows that speed is more important than the size of a company if you want to take major steps towards a circular economy.
"There are still a lot of people and organizations who think that the big companies are against the little ones. But it's about the fast against the slow "
Logtens states: "There are still a lot of people and organizations who think that the big companies are against the little ones. But it's about the fast against the slow. "Reutelingsperger agrees. Moreover, it is precisely through the cooperation between small and large companies that wonderful things happen. Reutelingsperger talks from experience. With Niaga, Reutelingsperger had a technology with huge potential in his hands but only in collaboration with DSM he was able to further develop and make it ready for scaling.
Reutelingsperger looks back when the project was in danger of being discontinued. A project with knowledge institute TNO to develop the glue for carpet went wrong. Reutelingsperger: "You can have a recipe for a product but to scale that same recipe from one liter to 20,000 liters, you'll have to do a lot to get there." It is a huge step that comes with huge investments. That drove Reuterlingsperger to look for strategic business partners. "We have called all kinds of large companies such as ICI and AkzoNobel. DSM was the only one who wanted to hear our story".
The resulting joint venture DSM-Niaga and the cooperation with Ecor is 'not an ambition, it's a reality' and this is just the beginning.

Options for metallic colours are Scale Silver, Aquamarine Blue, and Manganese Grey; whereas Deep Black and Oryx White are the two pearl-effect colours that are available at no additional cost.
Erik Winter, Managing Director of VPCM, is pleased to kick-start 2022 with the launch of the upgraded Passat R-Line, "The Passat is built on a successful combination of class and performance, which makes it the sedan of choice for the sophisticated both globally and locally. We have retained the unique features of the Passat R-Line but fine-tuned its performance, so that it becomes an ideal partner for the discerning driver."

Local Community Organization Bails Pregnant Black Mother Out of Jail for Mother's Day
Published on Thursday, 17 May 2018 15:26
Written by Staff Report
26-year-old Deshay Murphy received an early Mother's Day gift when her $30,000 bail was posted allowing her to be released from Los Angeles County's Century Regional Detention Facility for women in Lynwood several days before Mother's Day. The mother of a 4-year-old daughter, Ms. Murphy is 8 ½ months pregnant and had been incarcerated since April 13, 2018, when she was arrested following a family domestic dispute. Murphy's release was a coordinated effort of the National Black Mama's Bail Out Day campaign #FreeBlackMamas that will give incarcerated mothers around the country an opportunity to spend Mother's Day with their families and build community through gatherings that highlight the impact of inhumane and destructive bail practices on local communities. Murphy joined her attorney and community organizations to discuss the National Black Mama's Bail Out Day Campaign and call attention to the unfair cash money bail system and bail reform efforts.
"Ms. Murphy's case illustrates the unjust impact of pretrial detention on Black families, said Los Angeles Community Action Network executive director Pete White. "Upon hearing of her case, LACAN immediately identified Ms. Murphy as someone we needed to help so she could return to her 4-year-old daughter, resume pregnancy in a safe environment, and be home for Mother's Day."
White says LACAN hosted a baby shower for the expectant mother last Friday.
Since May 2017, over 14,000 people have donated to bring nearly 200 mothers home to their families and communities in Oakland, Los Angeles, St. Petersburg, Montgomery, Memphis, Durham, Atlanta, Houston, New York City, Little Rock, Charlottesville, Charlotte, Kinston, Birmingham, Baltimore, Philadelphia, St. Louis and the D.C. area. Locally in Los Angeles, community organization Los Angeles Community Action Network (LACAN) teamed up with Creative Artists Agency to raise the money to bail out Ms. Murphy.
"The current money bail system traps Black people and keeps us in bondage," said Patrisse Cullors, founder of Dignity & Power Now. "It's that much worse when you are pregnant and vulnerable. We believe no pregnant person should sit in a jail cell under any circumstances. Let's commit to freeing our folks who are languishing inside of prison because they are poor."
UCLA Professor and Million Dollar Hoods Project lead researcher Kelly Lytle Hernandez added, "In California, most of us have the right to freedom before trial. But that right comes at a price--money bail. In most cases, the price of freedom will never be refunded. Therefore, we are charging people for their constitutional right to freedom. It is time to rethink our money bail system. Nothing less than justice and freedom are at stake."
Lytle Hernandez is the author of "City of Inmates," a chronicle on how native elimination, immigrant exclusion, and black disappearance drove the rise of incarceration in Los Angeles.
The National Bail Out collective is a formation of Black organizers who are committed to building a community-based movement to end pretrial detention and ultimately mass incarceration and includes Southerners on New Ground, the Movement for Black Lives, Color of Change and other groups that have worked to raise nearly $1 million to bail out people all over the country.
The #FreeBlackMamas campaign highlights the impact of pretrial detention on Black families and how states like California's bail system unfairly punishes the poor.

Dragon Pants 2
I made DragonPants 2 on a dare. You see, my friends and I were studying Architecture in Barcelona, and my friend Brian got totally addicted to this little shockwave game called Last Christmas 2
He said, "Hey Lars, you make flash games all the time, right?" And I'm like, "Um... yeah, sorta." And then he said, "Why don't you make a game that's as good or better than Last Christmas?" And, with the gauntlet thrown, I did my best. I drew sketches over the last month we were still in Barcelona and planned enemy patterns and behaviors, then when we went home for the Christmas break I got started.
I based the game off of a previous (and less successful) project I'd made, Dragon Pants (now known to posterity as "Dragon Pants One.")
Each year I had a tradition of making cheezy christmas cards in Flash. This year I made a vertical scrolling shooter about Dragons and their quest for the eternally sacred, wholly immaculate Pants. (That's "Trousers" for those of you who take tea as a meal and pronounce "Butter" with a glottal stop.)
I think it turned out pretty good. I got good reviews over at Derek Yu's The Independent Gaming Source, though he demanded a lot more levels, adding, "and while you're at it, get me a beer!" I was honored by the praise, and to his credit, the game is fairly short. Also, I have not yet gotten him a beer. I will be fixing that one day. :P

I am able to do drag-and-drop that results in an item added at the end of table  but I can't figure out how to place it in between rows, based on where I release the mouse button.

A: Create a rowFactory producing TableRows that accept the gesture and decide by the mouse position, whether to add the item before or after the row:
@Override
public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
    TableView<Item> table = new TableView<>();

    Button button = new Button("A");

    // d&d source providing next char
    button.setOnDragDetected(evt -> {
        Dragboard db = button.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.MOVE);
        ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
        content.putString(button.getText());
        db.setContent(content);
    });
    button.setOnDragDone(evt -> {
        if (evt.isAccepted()) {
            // next char
            button.setText(Character.toString((char) (button.getText().charAt(0) + 1)));
        }
    });

    // accept for empty table too
    table.setOnDragOver(evt -> {
        if (evt.getDragboard().hasString()) {
            evt.acceptTransferModes(TransferMode.COPY_OR_MOVE);
        }
        evt.consume();
    });
    table.setOnDragDropped(evt -> {
        Dragboard db = evt.getDragboard();
        if (db.hasString()) {
            table.getItems().add(new Item(db.getString()));
            evt.setDropCompleted(true);
        }
        evt.consume();
    });

    TableColumn<Item, String> col = new TableColumn<>("value");
    col.setCellValueFactory(new PropertyValueFactory<>("value"));
    table.getColumns().add(col);

    // let rows accept drop too
    table.setRowFactory(tv -> {
        TableRow<Item> row = new TableRow();
        row.setOnDragOver(evt -> {
            if (evt.getDragboard().hasString()) {
                evt.acceptTransferModes(TransferMode.COPY_OR_MOVE);
            }
            evt.consume();
        });
        row.setOnDragDropped(evt -> {
            Dragboard db = evt.getDragboard();
            if (db.hasString()) {
                Item item = new Item(db.getString());
                if (row.isEmpty()) {
                    // row is empty (at the end -> append item)
                    table.getItems().add(item);
                } else {
                    // decide based on drop position whether to add the element before or after
                    int offset = evt.getY() > row.getHeight() / 2 ? 1 : 0;
                    table.getItems().add(row.getIndex() + offset, item);
                    evt.setDropCompleted(true);
                }
            }
            evt.consume();
        });
        return row;
    });

    Scene scene = new Scene(new VBox(button, table));

    primaryStage.setScene(scene);
    primaryStage.show();
}

public class Item {

    public Item() {
    }

    public Item(String value) {
        this.value.set(value);
    }

    private final StringProperty value = new SimpleStringProperty();

    public String getValue() {
        return value.get();
    }

    public void setValue(String val) {
        value.set(val);
    }

Q: What is the correct way to use async/await in a recursive method? What is the correct way to use async/await in a recursive method? Here is my method:
public string ProcessStream(string streamPosition)
{
    var stream = GetStream(streamPosition);

    if (stream.Items.count == 0)
        return stream.NextPosition;

    foreach(var item in stream.Items) {
        ProcessItem(item);
    }

    return ProcessStream(stream.NextPosition)
}

And here is the method with async/await:
public async Task<string> ProcessStream(stringstreamPosition)
{
        var stream = GetStream(streamPosition);

        if (stream.Items.count == 0)
            return stream.NextPosition;

        foreach(var item in stream.Items) {
            await ProcessItem(item); //ProcessItem() is now an async method
        }

        return await ProcessStream(stream.NextPosition);
 }

A: When I add code to make your example more concrete, I find two possible ways for the recursion to turn out badly. Both of them assume that your data is pretty big and require specific conditions to trigger.

*

*If ProcessItem(string) returns a Task that completes before it is awaited on (or, I assume, it completes before the await finishes spinning), the continuation will execute synchronously. In my code below, I have simulated this by having ProcessItem(string) return Task.CompletedTask. When I do this, the program very quickly terminates with a StackOverflowException. This is because .net's TPL "Releases Zalgo" by opportunistically executing continuations synchronously without regard to how much space is available in the current stack. That means that it will exacerbate the potential stack space issue that you already have by using a recursive algorithm. To see this, comment out await Task.Yield(); in my code sample below.

*If you use some technique to prevent TPL from continuing synchronously (below I use Task.Yield()), eventually the program will run out of memory and die with an OutOfMemoryException. If I understand correctly, this wouldn't happen if return await were able to emulate the tail-call optimization. I imagine that what is happening here is each call generates something like a book-keeping Task<string> and keeps generating them even though they could be coalesced. To reproduce this error with the sample below, ensure you're running the program as 32-bit, disable the Console.WriteLine() call (because consoles are really slow), and ensure the await Task.Yield() is uncommented.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

// Be sure to run this 32-bit to avoid making your system unstable.
class StreamProcessor
{
    Stream GetStream(string streamPosition)
    {
        var parsedStreamPosition = Convert.ToInt32(streamPosition);
        return new Stream(
            // Terminate after we reach 0.
            parsedStreamPosition > 0 ? new[] { streamPosition, } : new string[] { },
            Convert.ToString(parsedStreamPosition - 1));
    }

    Task ProcessItem(string item)
    {
        // Comment out this next line to make things go faster.
        Console.WriteLine(item);
        // Simulate the Task represented by ProcessItem finishing in
        // time to make the await continue synchronously.
        return Task.CompletedTask;
    }

    public async Task<string> ProcessStream(string streamPosition)
    {
        var stream = GetStream(streamPosition);

        if (stream.Items.Count == 0)
            return stream.NextPosition;

        foreach (var item in stream.Items)
        {
            await ProcessItem(item); //ProcessItem() is now an async method
        }

        // Without this yield (which prevents inline synchronous
        // continuations which quickly eat up the stack),
        // you get a StackOverflowException fairly quickly.
        // With it, you get an OutOfMemoryException eventually—I bet
        // that "return await" isn't able to tail-call properly at the Task
        // level or that TPL is incapable of collapsing a chain of Tasks
        // which are all set to resolve to the value that other tasks
        // resolve to?
        await Task.Yield();

        return await ProcessStream(stream.NextPosition);
    }
}

class Program
{
    static int Main(string[] args) => new Program().Run(args).Result;
    async Task<int> Run(string[] args)
    {
        await new StreamProcessor().ProcessStream(
            Convert.ToString(int.MaxValue));
        return 0;
    }
}

class Stream
{
    public IList<string> Items { get; }
    public string NextPosition { get; }
    public Stream(
        IList<string> items,
        string nextPosition)
    {
        Items = items;
        NextPosition = nextPosition;
    }
}

So, I guess my two recommendations are:

*

*Use Task.Yield() if you aren't certain that the stack growth of recursion will be interrupted by something else.

*As suggested already, avoid recursion if it doesn't even make sense for your problem in the first place. And even if it makes a clean algorithm, avoid it if your problem size is unbounded.

A: While I have to say upfront that the intention of the method is not entirely clear to me, reimplementing it with a simple loop is quite trivial:
public async Task<string> ProcessStream(string streamPosition)
{
    while (true)
    {
        var stream = GetStream(streamPosition);

        if (stream.Items.Count == 0)
            return stream.NextPosition;

        foreach (var item in stream.Items)
        {
            await ProcessItem(item); //ProcessItem() is now an async method
        }

        streamPosition = stream.NextPosition;
    }
}

Recursion is not stack-friendly and if you have the option of using a loop, it's something definitely worth looking into in simple synchronous scenarios (where poorly controlled recursion eventually leads to StackOverflowExceptions), as well as asynchronous scenarios, where, I'll be honest, I don't even know what would happen if you push things too far (my VS Test Explorer crashes whenever I try to reproduce known stack overflow scenarios with async methods).
Answers such as Recursion and the await / async Keywords suggest that StackOverflowException is less of a problem with async due to the way the async/await state machine works, but this is not something I have explored much as I tend to avoid recursion whenever possible.

Q: C# IReadOnlyList protection instantlly subverted by downcast, or am I missing something? Given the below:
Is it truly the case that if an IReadOnly(of T) was conceived from an extant MutableEquivalent(of T), that simply casting to the mutable version allows full access, and changes to an object others may rely on to have static elements/count? The output below shows my "THIRD INJECTION" string, despite iterating through a read only collection. Is it just manners and self control that prohibit casting a readonly collection down? Are you supposed to see the interface provided, and bear its restrictions, cast-invariant, due to type alone? Thanks for any clarification on what this interface and others like it truly promise/guarantee.
EDIT- This is not a duplicate of IReadOnlyCollection<T> vs List.AsReadOnly() since I didn't mention List.AsReadOnly() in my question, nor IReadOnlyCollection. Those were introduced by responders. This was a question on underlying mutable list exposure when behind an IReadOnly interface. There are some overlaps in some comments, but a question such as "What does IReadOnly actually do for its underlying mutable List(of T)?" duplicates the spirit of my question. Not "What is the difference between these two entities pertaining to read only?", since I only mentioned one.
static class Program
{

    public static void Main()
    {
        List<string> hack = (List<string>) READONLY;
        hack.Add("THIRD INJECTION");

        foreach (var s in READONLY)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(s);
        }
    }

    public static readonly IReadOnlyList<string> READONLY = new List<string>{"@0", "@1"};

}

A: From your comment:

I didn't realize the interface was more a loose protection for a programmer rather than a 'const'-esque' barrier to mutation. … I assumed, incorrectly, that a downcast from a readonly to mutable would be an invalid cast.

An interface isn't intended as "protection" of any sort, at all. It is simply a promise to implement specific features.
The benefit of IReadOnlyList<T> is one of semantics and now, with generic type variance in C#, flexibility. The semantic benefit allows you to expose a list in a way that expresses the intent to only read it and not modify it.
The flexibility comes in, because the type parameter can be made covariant. This allows implicit conversions from IReadOnlyList<T1> to IReadOnlyList<T2> where T1 inherits T2.
It is up to the implementor of the interface to decide whether true immutability is provided or not. If you want a collection to be truly immutable, you would use ReadOnlyCollection<T> as the implementation for IReadOnlyList<T>, instead of List<T>. You can pass any IList<T> implementation to the ReadOnlyCollection<T> constructor, and the new object will expose that IList<T> object's data without allowing modification (directly…you can always, of course, cheat with reflection, even with a object that is truly immutable and not just a wrapper like ReadOnlyCollection<T>).
With any interface, you are always only dealing with a specific object, which has a specific type, that type always implements some functionality, and can always be cast to the original type, as well as any other interfaces it might implement.
It would be a mistake to think of interfaces as in any significant way a form of protection. They aren't. They just express what an object is able to do.

A: The underlying collection of READONLY is a mutable list, this is the reason that the cast actually succeeds when creating the hack variable. READONLY is read-only for any of its consumers, but the underlying list can still be mutated.
UPDATED: As Sir Rufo pointed out, exposing the list by way of list.AsReadOnly() will prevent hard casting.

Q: Compare ID and value of each sheet then compile all ID and add value into the final sheet I am asking help to compare the gene expression value in different time point experiments, with either Excel or VBA to compare then generate report sheet.  Each sheet (time points) contains two columns: Gene ID and Value and the gene ID may not be the same in each sheet (time point: 1H, 4H and 8H.. etc.).  In the report sheet (sheet4), I would like to have all Gene ID (column 1) and values of each time points (column 2, column 3, column 4). Thus the final sheet (sheet 4) will include all Gene ID from each of the sheets into the column 1, the expression value of sheet1(value1), sheet2(value2) and sheet3(value3) will be in the column2, column3 and column4 of the sheet4.  I use "vlookup" of excel can add the expression value into the sheet4 after comparing/lookup the ID, but I do not know how to add the GeneID together for all sheets.
It will look like:
Sheet1 (1H):
(title) GeneID, Value1
Eco, 2;
Xmo, 4;
Sheet2 (4H):
(title) GeneID, Value2
Eco, 6;
Hmm, 8;
Sheet3 (24H):
(title) GeneID, Value3
Xmo, 10;
Ama,12;
The final sheet4 (summary):
(title) GeneID, Value1, Value2, Value3
Eco, 2, 6, (blank);
Xmo, 4, (blank), 6;

Surely that's not a jackleg cabin?
We are delighted to confirm the order for a very special jackleg cabin, built to our unique new full Clearview Woodland specification. We introduced the smart and distinctive thermowood cladding option across the range for 2014, and this is the very first jackleg cabin to be constructed to this specification.
Our clients, who have bought a normal standard cabin from us previously in 2012, were searching for the accommodation space of a jackleg cabin, without that look. They were very impressed by the aesthetics of the Clearview Woodland modular range, and by the fact that this "permanent building" aesthetic could be specially engineered into a jackleg cabin.
The building will have the jacklegs removed and a full wooden skirt installed on site. With beautiful full length windows, a door canopy and full thermowood cladding to ground level, the building will have the look of a smart modern permanent structure. It will be a jackleg version of the modular building illustrated, yet with all the installation advantages jackleg accommodation provides.
We're intrigued and excited by the order, as we're sure this special bespoke "secret jackleg" variant will create interest for lots of other clients looking for distinctive high quality cabin sized accommodation in the future.

Abstract: Polar molecules offer long-range anisotropic interactions, which are fundamental to a wide variety of phenomena, from ferrofluid behavior to the folding of proteins. Recent demonstrations of cooling and trapping polar molecules have made it possible to study these particles in the quantum regime, making them highly attractive for applications such as quantum information storage and exploring novel condensed matter phases. In this talk, I will report on the quantum control of dipolar fermionic NaK molecules, which we have synthesized in the ground state at ultracold temperatures as low as 300 nK. Using microwaves, we have coherently manipulated not only the rotational states of the molecules, but also the nuclear spin degree of freedom. I will present our observation of nuclear spin coherence times on the scale of 1 second, and discuss its implications for quantum memory and probing new physics via Hertz-level precision spectroscopy.

Abstract: If the dark matter consists of axions, some of it will condense into axion stars, which are gravitationally bound Bose-Einstein condensates of axions. If an axion star accretes enough axions to exceed a critical mass, it will collapse. The fate of a collapsing axion star has not been established. One possibility for the remnant is a much denser axion star in which the attractive forces of gravity and axion pair interactions are balanced by the mean-field pressure of the axion Bose-Einstein condensate. A nonrelativistic effective field theory for axions can provide insights into the fate of axion stars. The collapsing process of axion stars and the possible denser remnant produce unique monochromatic radio-frequency signals at odd-integer harmonics of the fundamental frequency set by the axion mass.

Intel and Micron Technology on Thursday finally announced the opening of a $3 billion Singapore fab at which they will manufacture their NAND flash memory.
In the works since 2006 and originally intended to open in 2008, the opening of the IM Flash factory was rescheduled in 2010 because of the global financial crisis. According to the companies, the fab has opened a month ahead of the schedule detailed last year. Intel and Micron said that the Singapore location was chosen because of the available pool of workers (the plant is expected to employ about 1,200 people), proximity to the supply chain, and easy accessibility to water and power sources.
The factory will begin by producing a few thousand 300mm wafers per week, and ramp to up to as many as 25,000 within the next two years. The wafers will initially be created using the companies' current 25nm production process, with plans to switch to a recently announced 20nm process by the end of the year. The memory produced is intended for use in smartphones, tablets and netbooks, digital cameras, music players, and other mobile devices.
Approximately 18 percent of the NAND Flash chips produced at the Singapore plant will be used by Intel, with the remaining 82 percent going to Micron.
The new fab joins two that Intel and Micron already run in the United States: one in Manassas, Virginia, and one in Lehi, Utah, which PCMag visited last year.

bipolar series versus parallel wiring [Archive] - CNCzone.com- Largest Forums for CNC Professional and Hobbyist alike!
What are the trade offs between wiring a bipolar stepper motor series or parallel? Reason I ask is that I've noticed that most motors over 200 oz/in are greater than 3 amps. I'd like to find the stongest motors that work with the xylotex driver board and it's rated at 2.5 amp max. if the motors are wired series then (from my limited understanding) the necessary amps is divided in half. I'm assuming there is a tradeoff here somewhere I just haven't seen it described.
I've got some PacSci 253 oz-in motors for my Xylotex. I've ran them, but I don't have my router built yet. They are rated 2.3a series. The trade off is parallel wiring will give you more top speed (actually more torque at high speeds, which translates to higher top speed). Series will still give you full torque at low speeds, but you won't be able to go as fast.
ahh... I figured there was a trade off somewhere.
Couldn't one simply use a lead/ball screw with fewer turns per inch to to get a relatively high feed rate while keeping one's motor in the better part of its torque band?
what is the intended size of your router? also material to be cut?
That's what I'm going to do. I've got 1/2-8 2-start acme leadscrews (4 turns per inch). But doing this involves another tradeoff. You need more torque to move a given load. But, the higher lead screws are more efficient, so you might get a little bit back.
These can handle up to 55V, which will raise your top speed. But then you'll spend more on the power supply. I'm assuming you're looking at the Xylotex for it's bang for the buck.
My router will be about 30"(y) x 48"(x). These are useable cutting area. The actual machine is more like 40x60. I'll be cutting wood most of the time. I've got a new PorterCable 2-1/4hp router for it.
I've seen a lot of guys here and elswhere using Xylotex boards and 100-150oz motors getting anywhere from 30-60ipm rapids. I'm hoping for at least 80ipm rapids, And I'd like to cut at least 50 or 60ipm. Oh yeah, I have 2 of those motors on my X-axis, so 500-oz-in to move the gantry. I've got a Xylotex 3-axis + single axis board.
You are right about the xylotex=cheap thinking.
From what i've read the xylotex seem to be the best bang for the buck.
obviously I want to minimize cost but I want maximal performance.

(55a) Catalytic Reduction of CO2 into Solar Fuels Via Ferrite Based Redox Reactions
Group: Spring Meeting Poster Session and Networking Reception

CO2 is considered as the major greenhouse gas and its continuous emission from various sources such as chemical industry, automobile exhaust, combustion of fossil fuels and others leads to one of the major environmental issues i.e. global warming. It is highly important to work towards the reduction in the excessive discharge of CO2 and also the utilization of the liberated CO2 towards value added products. In this regard, one of the promising options is to reduce the CO2 into CO via ferrite (doped iron oxide) based thermochemical redox cycles performed using concentrated solar energy. This produced CO can be combined with the H2 produced from the water splitting reaction via similar ferrite based thermochemical cycle to yield into syngas which can be further processed to liquid fuels such as Methanol, Diesel, and Kerosene via the Fischer-Tropsch process. It is highly important to note that the ferrite materials were considered as the bench-mark for the production of hydrogen via water splitting cycle, however; their utilization towards the CO2 splitting reactions is not yet investigated in detail. Hence, in this study, various ferrite based materials (transition metal doped iron oxides) such as Ni-, Zn-, Co-, Mn-, Mg-, and Cu-ferrite were synthesized via sol-gel method. After characterizing the composition, morphology, surface area, and other physico-chemical properties, the derived ferrite materials were tested towards thermochemical CO2 splitting using a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The ferrite powder was thermally reduced at 1400oC, while the CO2 splitting reaction was performed at lower temperatures (800 to 1100oC). O2 and CO release was further monitored by gas chromatography. The synthesized ferrite materials were compared with each other and also with the ceria based materials based on their redox reactivity and thermal stability by performing multiple thermochemical thermal reduction and CO2 splitting steps.

Dhaka's nights hotter than surrounding areas
Urbanisation, greenhouse gas emission, high-rise buildings and population density are among major factors behind rise in Dhaka temperature
RAFIQUL ISLAM AZAD, Dhaka
Night temperature of the capital city of Dhaka remain one to two degree Celsius more than that in the surrounding areas. So, city dwellers feel comparatively less cold even during winter, according to meteorologists.
They identified massive urbanisation, industrialisation, greenhouse gas emission, human activities, high-rise buildings, and density of population as major factors behind the rise in temperature in the 400-year-old city.
Dhaka's night temperature remains higher than that in surrounding areas like Tangail, Faridpur, Madaripur, and Cumilla.
"Dhaka is known for its heavy traffic. There is severe emission from vehicles, but the scope of releasing the harmful gas is very poor. This causes the temperature to rise in the city," the country's leading meteorologist, Dr Abdul Mannan, told The Independent.
Referring to a recent study of the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO), Mannan said world temperatures have been gradually increasing due to climate change and maximum concentration of carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere.
Mannan, who works for the Bangladesh Meteorological Department (BMD), said the temperature in the country, including in Dhaka, has been increasing over the years.
Referring to differences in temperature in Dhaka and its surrounding areas, Mannan said the BMD yesterday recorded a minimum temperature of 16.2 degrees Celsius in Dhaka, 14.7C in Faridpur, 14.6C in Madaripur, 13C in Cumilla, and 13.5C in Tangail.
Another meteorologist, AKM Nazmul Hoque, said urbanisation, industrialisation, and greenhouse gas emission are the main reasons behind the increase in the temperature of Dhaka.
He also said it is normal to feel less cold in Dhaka at this time. "In our study, it is normal. We feel such cold at this time every year," he added.
The lowest temperature recorded in Dhaka so far this season was 16.2 degree Celsius yesterday, while it was 9.8C in Tentulia, he noted.
Hoque said the temperature in Dhaka and northern and eastern parts of the country varies due to the geographical position and location of ridge of sub-continental high.
Replying to a question, Hoque said there may be one or two light to moderate cold waves in the northern and eastern parts of the country anytime after the middle of this month.

49,957 words.
Need to cross some more tees and dot some more iiiis (eyes). I'm feeling a little silly, cause I'm nervous. It has come time for me to begin my search for readers to proof my manuscript. I could not, for the life of me, come up with an idea for a post, so I decided to post Chapter Two of my tentatively titled book:
Eddie Green: Star of Stage, Screen, Radio and Television
Chapter Two: A Good Man Is Hard To Find
While continuing to perform as a magician, in 1916, Eddie wrote a silent movie titled, Eddie Green's Rehearsal, which gives an early indication of the direction in which Eddie was heading. This movie was directed, produced and distributed by Eddie, the cast was Eddie. The movie was about a man by the name of Eddie Green, who is desperate to get into show business. Eddie borrows a friend's clothes and car, and goes to an audition. He tells jokes, sings and generally performs to an encore. This scenario proved to be prophetic.
The movie did not actually make it to the big screen, at least not in its original format, and not until 1939, but it had enough merit to warrant a mention, in the form of a "clipping," which was placed in a folder at the Margaret Herrick Library, a non-circulating reference and research library devoted to the history and development of the motion picture as an art form, where I found it in 2015, sixty-five years later.
About a year after Eddie wrote his silent movie, The United States entered World War I. Eddie was twenty-six years old when he reported to his draft board. I have not found out yet, where he may have been stationed. However, the information on his draft registration card provided me a good source of information. Listed was Eddie's address at the time, 1405 Ten Pin Alley, in Baltimore, Maryland. Research showed me that Ten Pin Alley was, literally, an alley, located in what was then Ward 5, a part of East Baltimore, which, though dirty and crowded, was basically the only place in which poor blacks were allowed to live. Noted also on the card, was his occupation, actor, his place of employment, the Standard Theatre in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the fact that he was married and had a child.
Eddie's place of employment in 1917, the Standard Theater was owned by a Mr. John T. Gibson, a native of Baltimore, who also ran Gibson's Auditorium Theatre on South Street and made good money booking Black vaudeville acts on the national "chitlin circuit." Stars such as Bessie Smith and Ethel Waters, also performed at the Standard. Ticket sales at the Standard helped make Gibson the "richest black man in Philadelphia."
While at the Standard, Eddie dropped the magic tricks from his act. After catching one of his shows, a stage manager told Eddie to, "Get rid of the paraphernalia and just do comedy, you are really funny." Eddie took the man's advice and began performing strictly as a comedian, eventually adding singing and"soft shoe" dancing to his routine.
It was during this time, that Eddie wrote the his first of his twenty-nine songs, "A Good Man is Hard to Find, " which he copyrighted on December 28, 1917, in Chicago. "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is a bluesy type of song, explaining what a woman should do when she manages to get a "good" man. Six months later, Eddie sold his song and on June 2, 1918, the song was copyrighted by Pace and Handy Music Publishers (Home of the Blues), and went on sale as a piano roll in the Fort Wayne Gazette.
"A Good Man is Hard to Find" became a hit. January 4, 1919, Eddie got his first top billing as an entertainer, though his name, as the songwriter, was in tiny print. The name of the song was in big, bold letters right at the top of the Billboard page. The Billboard listed the song as "a 1,000,000 copy hit, sure fire applause getter for any singing act or combination on the stage."
Marion Harris, a popular singer, most successful in the 1920s, the first widely known white singer to sing jazz and blues songs, recorded the song in 1919 for Victor Records. Miss Harris's recording has been digitized at the Library of Congress Packard Campus for Audio Visual Conservation.
Eddie decided to put together a company of eighteen actors, which he called the "Deluxe Players," and as owner and manager of the "Deluxe Players," he began to tour the south, featuring his song, "A Good Man is Hard to Find," performing in places such as Tampa, Florida and St. Louis, Missouri. Eddie and his company were a sensation in St. Louis at the Booker Washington Theater, as was printed by the St. Louis Argus, January 9, 1920: "Green with his droll humor, and his coterie of performers made a big hit during a previous performance at this house." The show bristled with tuneful melodies, graceful and eccentric dances and a barrel of side-splitting comedy."
Eddie's song caught the attention of Miss Sophie Tucker, one of the most popular entertainers at that time, known as, "the last of the red hot mammas." While performing in the Sophie Tucker Room in Reisenweber's in New York, Miss Tucker sang "A Good Man is Hard to Find" every night for ten consecutive weeks, and "will continue to use it until her engagement terminates." Miss Tucker said that, "A Good Man is Hard to Find" is "the best blue number she has ever used." {Photo 1. Caption: Sophie Tucker Says.}
This song has been recorded as a blues number, a fox trot and a swing number, by such greats as Wilbur C. Sweatman's Jazz Orchestra, Les Brown and his Orchestra, Louis Prima and his Orchestra, Jess Stacy and his Orchestra, Dorothy Loudon with the Honky Tonks, William's Cotton Club Orchestra, Muggsy Spanier, the Alabama Red Peppers, "Fats" Waller, Bessie Smith, Frank Sinatra, Rosemary Clooney, Cass Daley, Big Maybelle, Brenda Lee, Nancy Wilson, and Carol Channing, to name a few, and a version of the song has been heard in Woody Allen's recent film Blue Jasmine, and even more recently in HBO's 2015 presentation of Bessie. As was Sophie Tucker before her, Bessie Smith was instrumental in popularizing, "A Good Man Is Hard to Find."
As I write this, I am realizing that, as the years went by, Eddie must have been aware of the impact this song had on people. At the time he wrote this song, though, he probably had a need for whatever money he received when he sold it to Pace and Handy. The popularity of this song, did, however, announce the arrival of Eddie Green, and with his talent for getting laughs, and his willingness to work for what he wanted, Eddie was on his way up.
End of Chapter Two
Hey, thanks for stopping by.

The government sees the rising fuel prices and falling rupee as a "small storm" for an otherwise robust Indian economy which it expects to sail through due to various steps, a senior Finance Ministry official said on Thursday.
"Wherever we have control, we are trying to do those things to sail over this crisis. For example, curtailing non-essential imports is one of them, boosting exports is another, and reducing petrol and diesel consumption one of them," he said.
"It`s a conservation issue. We are doing solar in a big way in India because solar is the future of India. So long-term solution to this petrol, diesel crisis is moving to non-conventional resources. Already our dependence on petrol and diesel has reduced quite a bit."
He said India is on a path of sustainable growth and still a preferred destination for foreign direct investment (FDI).
The government had on Wednesday hiked import duty on as many as 19 products, including air conditioners, household refrigerators and washing machines, to curb the import of non-essential items to check the burgeoning current account deficit.
The official said the list of import items on which duty was raised was done after scrutiny of essential and non-essential items, and after duly considering which items were available locally.
Among the 19 items was also aviation turbine fuel (ATF) on which the duty was raised to 5 per cent from earlier 0 per cent.
The official said that India is producing most of the ATF required and so the duty hike would not escalate airline fares.
"Of the total usage of ATF consumption of Rs 30,000 crore, imports is of only Rs 1,100 crore, which is miniscule and will not impact the ATF price," he said.

UFO Activity over Melbourne, Australia Alarms Family
by Pat Regan
February 14, 2013 18:36 EDT
I was recently contacted by a lady, wishing to be known simply as 'Laura'. She and a family relative (step-daughter) witnessed a UFO over Wheelers Hill, Melbourne, Australia.
Date and Time: Friday, January 4th, 2013. 10.15 pm.
Weather conditions: Still and clear with no clouds.
Laura informed me of the following:
"It looked like a bright star with a bluish tinge in the sky but it then started to move. We thought maybe it was a helicopter but there was no noise and then it just stopped and appeared to hover. It stayed there for ages. We kept checking up on it and it didn't move. We were freaked and then eventually got tired and went to bed. The next night it was gone. Just before we saw that we also saw a bright light travel at a constant speed…once again no noise."
Laura explained to me that it was most certainly was not an aircraft. Via her own localised research she discovered that some other people in a neighbouring suburb reported seeing what may have been the same UFO.
The witness continued:
"It just went overhead and continued on until it eventually disappeared. I have been researching heaps since that night and I get the feeling that sightings are on the increase."
Laura was so perturbed at the sighting that she has not been able to sleep properly since that night. She also advised that the event 'scared' some members of her family and that it had thrown many questions into her mind. This is quite a typical and understandable reaction when people witness such an inexplicable thing as a UFO. Laura also informed me that a few minutes after the UFO was seen a mysterious blue flash of alarming magnitude was seen nearby.
Incidentally, some researchers advise that Melbourne receives UFO reports at a rate of one per week. However, many others go unreported as they are too ambiguous to record. More activity here as well:

Before the internet took over the world….
The printed copy of the Yellow Pages commanded a monopoly on ad spend for businesses of all sizes and was the marketing staple of every tradie wanting to make themselves known in the local area.
But times, they are changing, and internet-connected smartphones have been altering the face of marketing for the last couple of decades. Most marketing budgets are moving towards online portals, while physical media advertising revenue dwindles every year.
In 2012, surveys revealed that only 15% of consumers did not use the internet to search for a new business.
Those numbers mean that at least 85% of people looking for a new business turned to the internet first to do their research, and that was six years ago. Smartphones are now even more accessible, and internet enabled.
For tradies, the move towards making themselves available online via a website is even more crucial.
A tradie's website doesn't need to be flashy or complicated; for most trade businesses a simple, low-key site is often the best solution.
Here are a few of the essentials a tradie website must include if it is to be effective in attracting new business.
If a visitor has found your business by typing a search into Google or one of the other search engines, then it's reasonable to expect that they want to get in touch with your business.
Ensure your contact details are prominent on the front page. A dedicated contact page will also give customers an easy form to fill out with their phone number, email address and enough room for a brief message so that you can get back to them as soon as possible.
Google has been harping on about mobile first design for a while now, so if your website doesn't transition well to the small screen – technically referred to as a mobile responsive design – then it will get booted from the search results page.
Google also officially stated that the number of smartphone search queries have recently overtaken desktop; probably because a mobile phone is always handy, and searches can take place while sitting on the bus, plane, train, and let's face it, the porcelain throne as well.
An always-on smartphone also means there's no reason to wait for the desktop to boot up just because they want to get in touch with their local plumbing service.
When your webpage is telling your visitor how great you are you can validate your statements with a few testimonials from previous customers. These can be text only, but if you can convince one of your favourite customers to sit down in front of a camera and speak from the heart about how fantastic your services are, then the testimonial will be all that more convincing.
Smartphones of today can also produce an excellent quality video, so there's no expense for extra equipment.
Sounds easy, but you'd be surprised at how many tradies don't make their services clear to the searching customer.
Let your visitors know exactly what you do in your business.
List all your services in the one place so they receive a good overview of your experience and qualifications, and whether or not you can help them with their problem.
While tradies websites need to be precise and straightforward, a few other pages can help your customers as well.
An About Us page can tell a brief story about how you got into the industry, your level of experience, and make you more approachable in general.
And don't forget a nice professional picture of you and the team. It's one of those small things that simply has a way of putting customers at ease and get that phone ringing.
A FAQs page may also provide answers to the most common questions about your services and what they can expect. FAQ pages are worth their weight in gold because every question they answer is time you don't have to spend on the phone.
Websites are now the first contact for over 61% of Australians looking to do business with a tradie or business local to them.
You don't need a flashy, complicated (and expensive!) website, but you do need a professional looking presence on the web if you are to remain competitive in today's digitally connected world.
