Q: Rails : How to create more than one form with a submit button, doing different functionality? I want to create more than one form with a submit button, with each submit button having a different action/functionalities to perform.
 How to achieve this?  For now all the submit buttons takes the create controller method as its action function. How to override this ?.  Can I give name to each submit button and redirect each button's action to different method in its controller file?
  How to do it ?    I'm using rail 3.0.1.

A: If you're using the form_for helper method, I believe it uses the new_record? method on whatever object you're passing it to determine the proper action it should point to. For example:
<%= form_for @page do |f| %>

If @page.new_record? evaluates to true, the form will POST to the create method on the PagesController. However, if it evaluates to false, it will POST to the update method on the PagesController.
You can override the URL the form POSTs to by doing something like:
<%= form_for @page, :url => { :action => "my_action" } do |f| %>

That will allow you to send the form data to a custom action. You don't have to change anything related to the submit buttons.
Hope that helps!


There are moments where you just hold your tongue, not because what the brain wanted you to spew out would have been horrendously wrong, but because the situation demands that the third party caught up in between the heated debate between the left and the right lobes of the brain should remain oblivious to their naivety and the friction that they have caused between the two faculties of mind. One side, the creative one says, 'Go on, let him have it', while the logical one tries to reason, 'You do this, and yourself step on a live mine'. It helps sometimes, keeping them in ignorance of their ill-perceived superiority from other species. I just wished they someday considered us to be of the same species, the higher one. The other times, I really wish my neurons' synaptic gaps were not so far apart, so that the impulses and prompt replies reached in the time frames when they would have the greatest punch in them. Presently, they are too slow and any disturbance that they try to cause in my voice strings just ends up in either hiccups or a short cough.
Being students, we have been up close with the Godly creations (pun intended), which the entire world sometimes refers to as one pillars of the nation. Now I don't know how many other pillars are there and in what health, or what other classes of people are given this herculean task of holding the structure of nation intact like Atlas holds the firmament but I do know that the magnificent pillars are either worn out, or are too few, and they are the ones who really bear the burden of quality maintenance. The newer ones, most of them if not all, are standing on infirm foundations, are almost hollow and need constant replacements lest the machinery might crumble like a stack of domino. I sometimes wonder, who ever coined that term, the pillars thing, either never actually went to our classes, or he was wise enough to coat sarcasm with some sugar, realizing the modern egotists getting into this profession. Probably, he was a diplomat par excellence or was suffering from acute shortage of good grades.
Being from an engineering background, one thing that has been gifted to me is the wisdom of scientists and the results that will work in the form of simulation programs and of course, the computer. Gone are the days of Thomas Elva Edison, when one had to do the experiment one thousand and one times to finally cause the bulb to glow successfully and stably. Now, before the actual implementation of any design, or even before investing in the hardware, we simulate. This simulation habit is sinking into our personalities such that we often simulate situations on the whims of whatever little imaginations we have. And we're not alone. It is intricately related to creativity, though on a different scale.
So while I was preparing for my hardware project presentations, these question were echoing again and again from an unknown source in my head.
Q. Why does this thing look so ugly?
A. Have you ever seen a man or woman without skin? Does that look pretty to you? Does a skeletal look pretty to you? I don't think so, and this, Sir, is yet to get its frame.
Q. Does it look beautiful to you?
A. Of course, I created it with time, toil, and money. Ask your mother or father how beautiful you are, though I am tempted to tell you otherwise, Sire. Did nobody tell you before? Oh I am really sorry.
Well there could be many bifurcations or trifurcations or many distributions and a whole tree of possible questions could be framed, but let's not get into details folks, just have the cream, and the chocolate.
Of all the other things that are expected of a good teacher, two are of utmost importance, as I have come to realize. First, a fairly good sense of humour is a must. No, it's not that a teacher should come to class dressed as a clown or crack jokes instead of doing what he is being paid to do, but he should not mind laughing with the children he's nurturing rather than bearing that unyielding look of a tormented soul. And secondly, well, this should be the Firstly, but well, let it be the way it is for now. So, secondly, a teacher should not have a mind that minds, and should not seek revenge upon the hapless dependants who barely stumble to tell the real truth about him/her. A tamed ego is what I am talking about.
Excerpt from the memories of words said and unsaid in a presentation.
Q. What do these R and L stand for?
Q. But according to convention and being an electronics engineer it looks more like Resistor and Inductor?
A. How un-engineerly of me. I'll surely make the suggestion to the author of the book I referred. I'll urge him to strictly abide by IEEE norms. But dear Teacher, the initials in your name, its R C written here, what does it stand for? Oh well, being an electronics engineer, it looked more like Resistive Capacitor to me. Why do You seem to be all charged up, Teacher?
How I wish my evaluators had a good sense of humour, or at least they should ask a damned technical question if they are so adamant on quality. But it seems they are more concerned about presentation syntax and semantics than engineering. Half filled pots make too much noise. I am not even a quarter full, but if you don't know something, keep mum. Why ask a stupid highly uncorrelated question that will only prove the fact that you don't know it. What happened to, 'Once a student, always a student', huh? Well, a restraint on the tongue gave me good grades, so no damage done, no issues, no ill-feelings. I shall speak no more, for now.
Look at us, running around. Always rushed, always late. I guess that's why they call it the human race.
My God...someone is really angry and my God, who gave you such teachers?
The "R C" bit was super hilarious, especially since a non-engineering me could grasp it all!
I guess teachers, who really are those in the actual sense of the term,do have a good sense of humour as well as no revengeful streaks...the others who do not confirm to these are there by sad circumstances and compromises.
I am not an Engineer but I can sympathise after all I studied one of the driest subjects known to humankind...accounts and audit...wonder why the smartest of the lot turn dumb as lecturers.
It pays to keep your thoughts to yourself even when comes to dumb bosses until you supercede them.
Not all are born with instant wit...it's a talent - one either has it or not.
May you find smarter bosses who know when to keep their mouths shut......enjoyed this literal "tête-à-tête" immensely.
Equally tough to find a teacher who knows his or her subject well enough!
According to Mr. Jairam Ramesh, the faculties at IIT/IIM's are not world class which basically implies that there is no world class teacher in India. Engineering is teaching me to look beyond and when you answered "Right and Left", it was something beyond. Perhaps we have to live with the sheer fact to do get the things ourselves.
And the quotes in this post are so much apt.
Very relevant issue. This is the scenario in every sector of education. Teachers spend better half of their lives on degrees they need to teach and then they vent out the frustration of those years on the students! Specially if you are in engineering field, you are sure to find some teachers who would rather be working in industry than be teaching and there are even some class of teachers who get reservation in government colleges and regret the students who are going to get a higher pay in once they are out of college! Yes, this is true. Education has long ceased to be a noble profession. Today it is a commerce and teachers are merely earning a living and not contributing to quality education.
Superbly written once again with all the quotes in the right places! loved the structure of the entire post!
Sad but true that teachers tend to lack a sense of humor, more so in India. it was one of the things that left me stunned when i first came here. I think professors in colleges abroad tend to be more relaxed in their approach and are more than happy to share a joke to lighten up the academic environment.
ps. i liked the kid in the switch.
You have touched a relevant topic... Forget sense of humour, most teachers are a frustrated lot and they take their personal frustrations out on students....Their is a lack of understanding and it comes from lack of interest. The malaise is deeper...We need institutions for teaching teachers.
It simply annoys when Teachers are of one such breed..
The kind of teachers that you said we must have are an almost extinct species... The last time i found teachers who were humorous and dint have a 'mind that minds' was in school..
4 years of engineering taught me that no one has a clue what they are teaching.. I dont regret it(which means i very well do) and life turned out ok.. so well and good!
I fully feel you, coz I'm sailing the same boat. Teachers are born to harass their students. This comment will never end if I started writing about them.
Well out of anger I too have written few dayz back about my teachers.
Well, I don't know who gave me those teachers. God has some whacky sense of humour :P Thank You.
Oh yes, that is what I have learnt, you gotta make it work, then you gotta get your head into it.
No Sir, projects are much fun here. In fact the best part of it all. Only the report making is the worst part.
Education is really in distress. Thanks for sharing the concern.
You've seen only lecturers here, not the teachers. There are a few, everywhere, loved.
I don't think institutions for teaching teachers can help, many get in engineering just because they had no other option, similar could be with that institute.
I don't remember anything from my past life, so I am not sure if the Gurukuls were the way they are projected in books. Even teachers seem to be good in stories.
They are rare breed, but lets not claim them to be extinct totally.
I also have seen the brighter side, I have seen teachers who wanted to be teachers and that itself changes things. I have studied from teachers who'd repeat again and again until each hand was raised high when asked, 'did you understand'. I have seen student friendly teachers, and I have seen teachers who are still willing to learn, even from us. In short, I have seen a big sun, and little black holes too.
Silence has great utility...and reflex control is what I've mastered coz of such teachers.
now, not only do i keep quiet when i am soo tempted to speak my mind out..but i have also developed the skill to nudge or signal the people i am giving my viva's with, prompting them to keep shut and not aggravate the situation.
Ignorance is a bliss anshul !
they were discouraging and selfish.
Can't ignore for long though..
Read you previous post...it could help.
yeah there exist some good ones too (You can always find exceptions), but they are hard to find.
and to the teacher too who lack a sense of humor!!
and then..Resistance and Inducter is all in the mind of ur teachers..why get to right and left!..
a nice post from you!!
Yeah, that is why I sometimes wish to keep my trap shut.
And yes, Admin is such a pain most of the times.
Both of the posts have been written by me, and I am already at mental peace, even while I wrote that, and even when I wrote this.
And it's great you were not a pet of teachers.
Maybe I lived in a blissful place where exceptions stumble upon alternately?
I don't need sympathies, I have no regrets. They shaped me the best they can. And what kind of engineering colleges make you recite words from books, I am happy we've had much more sensible faculty here.
The post begins with one or two paragraphs from which I was not able to make out what the problem was :( Ah engineering college teachers and I would write a book on them, the tone set to anger and frustration throughout and between the lines. Loved the RC part..! And its okay...luckily they dont follow you once u have passed out and gone and u'll never remember them...except when it appears on ur blogger dashboard !
This is the thing which almost everyone faces at some point or the other. Genuine teachers are hard to find. And what you said about having two qualities, is very true!
Keep writing, friend! would love to read more from you.
Anshul.. I truly understand the mess in your head. being an engineer myslef (Am i bragging :P), I know how much we hate those useless assignments, presentations, and moreover the Knowledge transfer sessions.
Had to prepare the resumes again with punishment of-course.
Can understand the frustration man..being an engineer myself. And often, many teachers make an already messed up situation far worse.
Oh yes, it could be.
Am glad that they don't follow up, though I might someday need to reread this post to live it again.
Writer , Teacher is still the noblest profession ever .
Awww, you write so well.
Every single time I read your posts I'm like :O literally. :) Haha.
We are not talking about the nobility of the profession, it's without doubt the best. We are talking about the ones who are into it, a large chunk of them.
And, what's with that 'Writer' thing.
Thanks for the link to the story on my blog. :-) I'm feeling much better now. Hope you're in good health.
Wow. U got smarter in the break I took!!

Here are the stories you shouldn't miss today:
A Turning Point in Syria
In northern Syria, there is killing and chaos. In Washington, there is criticism and concern over President Trump's latest big move on the world stage.
On Sunday, Trump ordered the withdrawal of the 1,000 remaining U.S. troops from the region, as a Turkish air barrage hammered at the Kurdish forces the U.S. has long counted on to fight Islamic State militants. Now the Kurds say they've been forced to turn to the Russia-backed Syrian government to stave off Turkey's attack.
Meanwhile, hundreds of Islamic State family members have escaped from a detention camp managed by the Kurds now battling Turkey. The U.S. has moved a small number of militants to facilities elsewhere, but thousands stand to walk free amid the chaos, and Turkey has shown little inclination in the past to inhibit them.
As former Trump administration Defense Secretary James N. Mattis put it: "ISIS will resurge. It's absolutely a given that they will come back."
Take It From a Former Moonie: Trump Is a Cult Leader
ONLY I CAN FIX IT
It might seem an outrageous proposition to compare Donald Trump to a murderous cult leader. And yet there are alarming parallels.
Steven Hassan
Updated 10.13.19 7:18PM ET / Published 10.13.19 5:11AM ET
Jim Watson/Getty
On the afternoon of Nov. 18, 1978, Jim Jones called his followers to the central pavilion of Jonestown, a sprawling outpost in the jungles of Guyana, and ordered them to drink a lethal mixture of cyanide and fruit punch. Over 900 people perished that day, more than a third of them children. As he lay dying of a bullet wound to the head—a less painful way to go than cyanide and one that he probably orchestrated—Jones told his followers that it was "all the media's fault. Don't believe them."
Those words, uttered so long ago, sound disturbingly familiar as we approach the 41st anniversary of Jonestown. We have a president who regularly disparages and blames the media, calling it "fake," "false," and "phony," and who calls journalists "enemies of the people"—epithets that seem especially frenzied in the wake of the whistleblower complaint and the launching of the House impeachment inquiry. It might seem an outrageous proposition to compare Donald Trump to a murderous cult leader. And yet there are alarming parallels. Like Jones and other cult leaders, Trump exhibits features of what psychologist Erich Fromm called "malignant narcissism"—bombastic grandiosity, a bottomless need for praise, lack of empathy, pathological lying, apparent sadism, and paranoia. In short, he fits the stereotypical psychological profile of a cult leader.
OATH TAKERS
If Trump Rage Brings 'Civil War,' Where Will Soldiers Stand?
Patricia Ravalgi
I have seen that profile up close. Over 40 years ago, while a junior in college, I was recruited into a destructive mind control cult, the Unification Church, popularly known as the Moonies after its leader, Sun Myung Moon. I rose rapidly through the ranks and was invited to attend meetings with Moon and his top aides, where we knelt and bowed to our leader Moon. Two years later, after three days straight of leading a fundraising team—selling flowers on street corners—I fell asleep at the wheel and woke up as I plowed into the back of an 18 wheeler. Fortunately, I survived. My family hired deprogrammers and, after five days, I realized I had been brainwashed.
Since then, I have devoted myself to studying mind control cults and helping families rescue loved ones from their clutches. I have learned that mind control is not a vague, mystical process but, instead, is the result of a concrete and specific and systematic set of methods and techniques. Cult leaders may seem crazy, but they are cunning masters of manipulation, employing an arsenal of these techniques to render their followers dependent and obedient. It's what I call the cult leader's playbook.
As I argue in my upcoming book, The Cult of Trump: A Leading Cult Expert Explains How The President Uses Mind Control (Simon & Schuster), Trump has gotten where he is today in large part because he has exploited tactics straight out of that playbook. These include his grandiose claims, his practice of sowing confusion, his demand for absolute loyalty, his tendency to lie and create alternative "facts" and realities, his shunning and belittling of critics and ex-believers, and his cultivating of an "us versus them" mindset. These are the same methods used by Moon, Jones, and other cult leaders such as L. Ron Hubbard (Scientology), David Koresh (Branch Davidians), Lyndon LaRouche (LaRouche PAC), and, most recently, convicted trafficking felon Keith Raniere (NXVIM).
Of all these tactics, the "us versus them" mindset is probably one of the most effective. From the moment you are recruited into a cult, you are made to feel special, part of an "inside" group in opposition to unenlightened, unbelieving, dangerous "outsiders." Playing on ancient human tribal tendencies, cult leaders extend this "us versus them" mindset outwards to an almost cosmic struggle.
Many campaigns—political, military, athletic—pivot around the idea of conflict between parties. Even in literature there is a hero and a villain. But cults take this human habit of viewing the world in binary terms and infuse it with a kind of all consuming passion, which they reinforce in the minds of followers using cliches, platitudes, lies, and endless repetitions. You come to believe that you are superior to the rest of the world. In fact, everyone who is not in the group is, at some level, in the words of the eminent psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, dispensable.
"As did LaRouche, Moon, and Jones, Trump sees a world teeming with enemies."
In the Moonies, we were told that we were heavenly soldiers engaged in a great struggle to take the world back from the forces of Satan, which included godless Communism and human-centered Western democracy. Our ultimate goal was to replace these godless human-centered forms of government with a god-centered theocracy, under Moon's leadership.
Jones, a self-professed Marxist, told his followers—who were often poor, black, and disenfranchised—that the enemy was racism, capitalism, and the American government. He took his followers to the wilds of Guyana to escape the clutches of the U.S. government, which was evil and out to get him.
For Hubbard, the enemy was psychiatrists and governments, and also non-Scientologists. He used a racist term to describe the latter—wogs—and essentially argued that they were inferior to true believers.
For LaRouche, it was a global conspiracy consisting of the Queen of England, Wall Street, Jews, and various intelligence agencies, such as the CIA. He and his followers wanted to defeat this evil cabal that was destroying the world, which only LaRouche could save.
Trump paints his enemies with a much broader brush. At rallies, he bounds on stage and tell his audiences how special they are—"I love you Indiana"—but it soon becomes clear that he has no "love" for anyone but Trump supporters. During his 2016 campaign, he would single out members of the audience—and even journalists—who he perceived as hostile and eject them, often to deafening cheers from his supporters. Shunning, humiliation, and ostracism are common methods for demonstrating who counts as "us," and what needs to be done about "them."

Conservatives Convince Themselves Clinton Will Run Again
Trump Rally Security Guards Are Itching for a Civil War
As did LaRouche, Moon, and Jones, Trump sees a world teeming with enemies: the "deep state," globalists, radical left-wing Democrats, socialists, Hollywood actors, the liberal media. And, of course, Muslims, Mexicans, and migrant caravans. He depicts all of them as wanting to destroy America—and him. Inspiring or creating fear of real or imagined threats overrides people's sense of agency. It makes them susceptible to the confident father figure, Trump, who promises to keep them safe—"Only I can fix it"—and makes them more compliant and potentially obedient. Some followers of Trump have gone so far as to believe that liberal Democrats, George Soros, and the CIA are involved in an international sex trafficking ring run out of the basement of a Washington, D.C., pizza parlor. One such follower actually brought an AR-15-style rifle into the pizza parlor and fired three shots. Fortunately, no one was injured.
"The dangers of mind control are greater now than ever due to the digital world we are so plugged into."
When I was in the Moonies, I was so indoctrinated that I was prepared to take up arms and die for the cause. I wasn't alone. My fear is that Trump might order his followers to take their weapons to the streets if he is not re-elected. In a recent tweet, he quoted his Christian Right ally, Robert Jeffress, that his removal from office "will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal." Worse still is the possibility that, if feeling sufficiently threatened, Trump might, like Jones, try to take others everyone with him, using his access to the nuclear codes. It's a dark scenario, but not entirely outlandish.
The good news is, I woke up and got out of a cult, as have millions of people. What I have learned in working with cult members, as I describe in my book, is that attacking their beliefs is doomed to fail. To help them recover their critical faculties, it is essential to develop a warm and positive relationship before teaching them about how mind control works. I often do that by showing how it operates in other groups, like the Jonestown cult or Scientology. We might use the same approach to heal the "us versus them" mindset of Trump's followers—and also of some of their more rabid opponents. Ultimately, the goal is to educate and inspire people to regain their capacity for critical thinking, and to free their own minds.
I have seen people throw off the mental and emotional shackles of many years—even a lifetime—of destructive conditioning. I believe that love is stronger than fear and that truth is stronger than mind control. But I also believe that the dangers of mind control are greater now than ever due to the digital world we are so plugged into. We ignore the lessons of history—of Jonestown and other destructive groups—at our own peril.

Samsung Galaxy S7 and Edge with problems after updating to Nougat
The Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge finally received the update to Android 7.0 Nougat. Many users have started receiving notifications for the update rollout. The update weighs around 1.2 GB and at first everything worked properly. However, some users who have already updated their Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge have detected some problems with the battery. A decrease in performance compared to the standard version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
That's right, one more problem, after all the time users have been waiting for. Not only do they indicate excessive consumption of battery life, reduced greatly than before, but also serious problems with the Wi-Fi connection, which is very unstable and often need to call manually. According to some analysts, the problem may be related to the use of quick charge technology, but as far as we know, it is not so. That battery problems have nothing to do with this feature. Meanwhile, other users, however, say they have a good performance after the update, even improved.
How to improve battery life
Android 7.0 Nougat is an important release, but it can always cause some small problems and that is why it may be useful to follow a little generic advice on how to improve the battery of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. First of all, an always useful suggestion in these contexts is to carry out a thorough cleaning of the cache of the cell phones, so that it is as light as possible (do not forget to make a backup). To do this, you must follow certain steps:
Turn off the device, press the start button at the same time as the volume and the power button. Go to 'Wipe Cache Partition' and select the 'Yes' option with the power button, where the 'Restart now' screen appears.
Some users claim that after this reset the battery of the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge has gained a greater battery life. It is a useful procedure, and it not only affects the update of Android 7.0 Nougat.

Covering the entertainment industry which includes reviewing movies, series, anime, comics and movies.
INDIA: Vipul Mohan is the General Manager of the Hotel Radisson Resort Goa (Baga) and a model. He is an ambitious and driven man who would not settle for an ordinary career path.
In an interview with Transcontinental Times, Vipul Mohan shed light on his modeling and journey as a hotelier, talked about his family life and many other things.
From the hotel industry to the world of modeling
Vipul was born on April 14, 1981, in Lucknow. He is an alumnus of the Institute of Hotel Management, Lucknow.
While he was studying, Vipul proved his mettle in a multitude of fields. Along with being in the hotel industry, Vipul has been in the modeling world for the past 5 years. Due to his experience and alluring looks, he bagged professional nods for ramp walks on versatile platforms.
When asked about his transition from the hotel industry to the modeling world, he said, "Hard work, passion, and dedicated efforts are irreplaceable elements of success."
He has participated in numerous print modeling shoots, ramp shows, and TV commercials throughout his modeling career.
Vipul's professional abilities have a track record of improving productivity, developing efficient operational processes, and boosting profitability in a cutthroat competitive environment.
Throughout his affiliation with various hospitality firms, he has also contributed to the opening and marketing of multiple global branded hotels. "I aim to maintain the group motivated by bringing a spotlight to new heights of performance every day," he said.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman. In Vipul's life, his wife, Isha, has been his anchor.
He enjoys spending time with his wife and daughters, Paavni and Ishanvi, when he has free time. "I also work with them to support the social, cultural, and academic growth of the economically weaker members of society," Vipul said.
In addition to his professional life in the hospitality sector, Vipul has also dedicated his life to social services.
He has been a member of NGOs and social organizations. He was primarily a member of the Rotary International Club of Dist 3054, where he worked as President.
Vipul believes that social services serve as key factors in developing a better society.
He also adds that by doing this, a positive change can be brought to the quality of life. His vision mainly links to promoting knowledge and sustaining society by independently generating job possibilities.
"Together, we see a world where people unite and take action to create lasting change — across the globe, in our communities, and in ourselves," he added.
Vipul considers youth as a pillar of the upcoming development in society. Giving a message to the young people, he said, "Challenges and difficulties are part of life. Even the most strong-minded person can become agitated by them when they suddenly arrive."
"Although there is no way to really prepare oneself for the unexpected. By purposefully stepping outside of your comfort zone and becoming comfortable with the uncomfortable, you can learn to welcome it cheerfully," he concluded.

The admission test of first year honors courses under the academic session 2018-19 of Jahangirnagar University (JU) concluded on Wednesday.
Like previous years, the university authority followed shift system admission test process under different faculties and institutes where around eight thousand students could participate in each shift till dawn to dusk.
However, a controversy has been drawn over the shift system admission tests process as the faculties did not allegedly maintain the same question pattern for each shift.
During analyzing result, it was found that most of the applicants have secured merit position from a particular that proves there were some problems in maintaining uniform question pattern, thinking concerned personalities.
A little number of students has placed in merit list from other shifts.
In 'A' unit test under Mathematical and Physical Sciences faculty, a total of 47 applicants from second shift have placed in merit list in top hundred positions for both males and females though the tests were held in eight shifts.
Analyzing the results, it appeared that a little number of applicants have secured position in merit list from other shift where only one candidates from eight shift have placed in merit list between top one hundred.
In 'C' unit test under Arts and Humanities faculty, most of the applicants from first shift have secured position in merit list.
Analyzing top hundred positions in the merit lists, a total of 56 male and 68 female applicants from first shift have secured position in merit list in science category where none applicants have secured position in 4th shift.
In 'B' unit tests under Social Sciences faculty, most of the applicants from fourth shift have secured position in the merit list.
Among the top 50 positions for both male and female, a total of 26 male and 24 female applicants get position from the fourth shift.
Meanwhile, students of Madrasah were reportedly discriminated in the admission test result under Arts and Humanities faculty (C unit).
Only11 seats for male and 2 seats for female students of Madrasah have fixed for them though total number of seat is 337.
About such controversy, this correspondent talked to deans of respective faculties.
Contacted, Dean of Mathematical and Physical Sciences faculty Professor Ajit Kumar Majumder said, 'We tried to make similar question pattern for each shift. None will raise question about our question pattern'.
Dean of Arts and Humanities Faculty Professor Mozammel Haque said, 'Maximum meritorious students may take part in a particular shift. Only for question pattern, students from a particular shift have secured position in merit list may not right'.
About the madrasah students he said, 'Generally the madrasah students are not interested to study in some subject in our faculty including Fine Arts, Drama and Dramatics, Philosophy etc though we gave them chance some of them in here'.
About the controversy, JU Pro Vice Chancellor (Academic) Professor Nurul Alam said, 'It is very tough to form uniform question pattern for each shift. We will consider such problems in future'.


Here we go again - Canalys says Xiaomi shipped more phones in India during Q2, Counterpoint Research gives the win to Samsung. CR attributes Samsung's success to the J-series phones – the Galaxy J2 and J8 alone account for 2 million sales (the J4 did well too). Another key part of Samsung strategy was launching more models than its competition.
Samsung's offline distribution channels helped push the company over the top and so did an aggressive marketing campaign centered on the Galaxy J phones. Counterpoint predicts that the second half of 2018 will remain a neck and neck race between Samsung and Xiaomi. The upcoming festive season will be interesting.
The Redmi 5A was the best selling phone, followed by the Redmi Note 5 Pro and Galaxy J6 (Canalys claimed that the Galaxy J2 Pro was Samsung's best-selling phone in India).
While not in the Top 5, OnePlus shipments grew a whopping 284% and the company dominated the premium (INR 30,000+) segment for the first time in its history.
Two companies that did place in the Top 5 are vivo and Oppo. But they should watch out for feature phones and Jio especially. The feature phone market grew 21% year on year, outpacing the 18% growth of the smartphone market. Keep in mind that in terms of units shipped, feature and smartphones are about equal.
Jio in particular went from essentially zero share in Q2 2017 to a whopping 47% in this year's Q2. Samsung seems to be the big loser in the feature phone market, it went from 27% to 9%, but Itel and Lava lost out too. The only other top brand to grow was Nokia, its feature phones went from 3% to 8%.


The microphone module consists of 2 digital microphones, which cooperatively scan the acoustic environment. A newly developed beamforming algorithm enables them to locate the speaker in one dimension. This acoustic directionality makes it possible to suppress background noise such as road noise or nearby conversations. This creates a very clear acoustic signal that needs only a minimum of digital rework. Overall, this produces a very clear, energy-rich voice signal while saving on processing power and energy.
The microphone module is controlled via I²C by the SIP module of an OGNIOS intercom; both the audio codec and the Class D amplifier are contained in the SIP module. In an OEM installation, the IP54 housing also protects against harmful environmental factors and the microphone openings are additionally sealed by IP67-rated membranes.

"The Real Housewives of Melbourne is awful, and I don't want to write about it anymore."
Rosie Waterland
From left: Lydia, Gina, Jackie, Andrea, Chyka, Janet.
Okay. I have some news. And it may upset some of you.
I'm resigning from Housewives.
It just got too gross last night, you guys. I was watching and writing notes like I usually do, and then Lydia called Gina a dog and I just stopped and thought, "Nup. I'm out." Because although that comment is what finally crossed the line for me, it was actually the climax of weeks of nastiness and bullying that I kept hoping was a one-off but ended up becoming the norm. And it gets to a point where you just can't make that level of cruelty entertaining.
Those of you who follow my recaps will know that I love cheesy TV. I loved recapping The Bachelor last year (and I'll do it again this year and hopefully every year until the end of time), and I was so psyched about doing The Real Housewives of Melbourne.
But recapping Housewives has not turned out to be a enjoyable experience.
And after last night, I just decided that I'd had enough, to be honest.
Here's what happened (as best as I can summarise the convoluted back-story of a reality TV drama): Basically, a bunch of the women don't like Gina. It started when she had an argument with Jackie. Then she was late to the tennis and used an expensive hand-towel that she wasn't supposed to or something. How very dare she, what a BITCH etc etc. I know – all standard Housewives-style drama.
But the nastiness towards Gina spiraled out of control. Seriously – it reached another level. I know that these shows are edited in a certain way. I know that they're loosely scripted and the producers probably had Gina turn up late to things on purpose to feed into the animosity towards her (also, she's a criminal barrister – the woman's got bloody places to be).
But, you can't edit behaviour that doesn't exist. You can't create a bitchy sound bite if someone doesn't say something bitchy in the first place. And after watching the show for eight weeks, you can tell when these women are reciting lines and when they're not.
And the stuff they've been saying about Gina was not written for them, that much is obvious. Editing or not, these women have behaved appallingly, and I'm not comfortable writing about it for a bit of funny weekly entertainment anymore.
I wanted to make it funny for you guys, I really did. I know that I have a bizarrely specific skill that involves watching reality TV shows and then writing down what happens in them in an entertaining way (I wish I'd been born with a voice like Beyonce but that's the way the cookie crumbled for me I guess), but even I was struggling to find a way to make these recaps fun without feeling extremely uncomfortable about participating in something… gross.
Bitching about Gina. As usual. (Except Chyka and Jackie, who, like the rest of us, just wanted to MOVE THE FUCK ON.)
It started with quiet jabs about Gina's appearance. The main culprits, Andrea and Lydia, would giggle about her looking like a drag queen, or make fun of her clothes, or the way she does her make-up.
Then there was the epic blow-up in last week's episode, where Janet, Andrea and Lydia spent an entire dinner just telling Gina everything they hate about her. Seriously – just yelling incredibly hurtful and personal things to her face while she quietly sat there. It was an awful piece of bullying, and as I pointed out last week, not pleasant to watch.

But, I had hoped last week was the frenzied nasty climax and that starting from this week those three awful women and their bizarre hatred for Gina would have petered out. There was seriously nothing left to milk from that storyline anymore anyway and I just wanted to get back to watching rich ladies get confused about non-rich things.
But, unfortunately, these women had barely scratched the surface of their nastiness.
Last night, Gina was referred to as a dog. A DOG. Also a woman with fleas. Then, Lydia said the line that pushed me over the edge:
"You've gotta understand what's triggered this (the fight). Because she's lonely. And she's so ugly. We're rich. And that would annoy her."
Ugh. I can't even. Lonely, ugly and not rich enough. Is that actually something that just came out of a 40-year-old woman's mouth?
That was the point where I stopped typing and thought "Why am I doing this? Seriously, why?"
The show is not so bad it's good. It's just bad.
The awful, awful bullies: Lydia and Andrea.
I get that in other versions of the franchise, the in-fighting between the women is what makes the show entertaining. But that's when there's actually something to fight about. The table-flipping and weave-pulling is about an issue.
I think the misstep in the Melbourne version is that in the absence of actual drama, the producers have framed Gina as a villain and told the other women to go after her blood. But, because she hasn't actually done anything to deserve their hatred, they've been reduced to targeting her personally – her looks, her clothes, her make-up, her hair, her personality, her job.
And watching a woman be incessantly bullied like that does not make for an enjoyable show.
The frustrating thing is, this show could have been so fun. The great fish-out-of-water stuff is so entertaining. Watching super rich, privileged women navigate their way through life is fascinating. And that's the stuff that makes the recaps so fun to write. It's all about gently making a bit of fun, while loving the endearingly clueless women who do ridiculous stuff every week.
Just this episode, Andrea got confused when a publisher told her that the book she's written for working mothers about how to keep multiple nannies organised might not be relatable to most women. Priceless!
And Jackie and her husband International Rock Star Ben Gillies planned the launch party for their cocktail line before even finalising a business plan. Hilarious!
There's so much good stuff there without having to resort to calling a woman an ugly dog.
It may just all be scripted. It may be tricky editing. I hope, for Gina's case, that it is. But that's just not the kind of show I want to watch.
That's not entertaining. That's not fun. That's just gross.

I don't want to go to bed with someone that's got fleas. She's crossed the line, she's got a gutter mouth."
Will you keep watching Housewives?

Ok so this show has arrived in Canada, I decided to watch it for the amusement as I have watched all the the Real Housewives that is going around and around. It started off ok and then there was Gina the sweet calm relaxed unprovoked Gina, then the ugly appalling malicious nasty jealous disgusting mean gits that call themselves rich sophisticated women, How shameful to treat a woman like I have watched them treat Gina Horrible to watch vile women. what possesses women to want to talk like that to another woman even if it's scripted it's not like they need the money is it they are supposed to be very rich.
Susan Bally 7 years ago
I have 5 children under 8, work full time, i have no family support, my husband works in the mines -4weeks on 5 days off, And one (thats right ONE) really really expensive babysitter whom i bow down to because its so hard to find a carer that is any good so i don't want to lose her.
So when I watch this show and Andrea, the vacuous venomous snake, I just feel physically ill.
I seriously just want to scratch her eyes out and I have never felt that way before.

HomeNewsIs Canada on Track to Legalize Edibles?
Canada's suggested edible bud regulations have been released by Health Canada and the 60-day procedure has come to a conclusion. The general public health agency is presently reviewing the answers.
Beneath the proposed national rules, one serving will be limited to ten mg of THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis, and every serving has to be separately wrapped.
For instance in a chocolate bar, every breakable square may contain 10 mg per for a total of 100 mg.
Pot intended for ingestion can't contain alcohol, have limited caffeine and arrive in a plain, child-resistant containers. The draft regulations state the products shouldn't be attractive to children and the packaging can not promote dessert or confectionery tastes — therefore no gummies shaped like bears.
The rules are an effort to address a few of the chief issues with edibles: making sure it doesn't pose a threat to public health, particularly for people that are underage.
"In different authorities, that legalized marijuana exactly like the countries from the U.S., among those issues, [together with ] legalizing edibles, were children. So children came to the kitchen watched this lovely well coloured bud edible and as children do, check it out," explained Dr. Jürgen Rehm, a senior scientist in the Institute for Mental Health Policy Research in CAMH.
But some are concerned the black market economy will continue to flourish with this kind of stringent regulations. In California, as an instance, which legalized recreational bud and edibles this past year, industry experts say the illegal market continues to boom.
1 big cannabis edibles maker in California says it has been hard to navigate inside the legal marketplace since there's so much rivalry in the illegal industry.
"People who are heavy users of THC and prefer to consume it, can consume hundreds or even tens of thousands of mg of THC in daily and so should they have products which can be found in the illegal market which are much more affordable and have a greater potency, they are going to tend to go towards this instead of paying more for less THC, that is exactly what they have used to eat," Bryce Berryessa explained the president of La Vida Verde.
Berryessa says that the body builds up a fairly speedy tolerance when eating edibles. Thus lots of people that are used to swallowing a greater volume of THC are still engaging in the illegal marketplace to acquire access to goods having higher potencies.
Rehm that has been focusing on the subject of mental health and cannabis intake states it is far better to get an incremental strategy in regards to edibles.
"The issue with edible bud is that folks aren't used to it. A good deal of the people as soon as they smoke marijuana. They think that the effects fairly fast. Together with edibles, the consequences can be afterwards. And folks say'Oh, I've done this edible bud and that I believe nothing' and they have more," Rehm said.
To avoid putting individuals in danger, it'd be better to begin with a minimal dose and after we've got clear signs the black economy is still flourishing, then we could reevaluate it, " he added.
Health Canada confirms they have obtained 7,000 answers from Canadians, business representatives, the states and the public health community on the projected edibles draft regulations. The agency is reviewing the opinions and contemplating where alterations can be created.
People from the marijuana business, however, are doubtful the government is likely to create the edibles deadline set for themselves. When it came to recreational marijuana, legalization was initially assured on Canada day, however the true date was not for a few weeks afterwards.

Q: Text border using css (border around text) Is there a way to integrate a border around text like the image below?

A: text-shadow: -1px 0 black, 0 1px black, 1px 0 black, 0 -1px black;

A: The following will cover all browsers worth covering:
text-shadow: 0 0 2px #fff; /* Firefox 3.5+, Opera 9+, Safari 1+, Chrome, IE10 */
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Glow(Color=#ffffff,Strength=1); /* IE<10 */

A: Use multiple text shadows:
text-shadow: 2px 0 #fff, -2px 0 #fff, 0 2px #fff, 0 -2px #fff,
             1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px #fff, 1px -1px #fff, -1px 1px #fff;

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  background: #222;
  color: darkred;
}

h1 {
  text-shadow: 2px 0 #fff, -2px 0 #fff, 0 2px #fff, 0 -2px #fff,
               1px 1px #fff, -1px -1px #fff, 1px -1px #fff, -1px 1px #fff;
}

test

Alternatively, you could use -webkit-text-stroke, which produces a slightly different result because it modifies the stroke width instead of adding additional shadows around the text. Despite the webkit prefix, it works in most browsers (including Firefox) as of 2022:
-webkit-text-stroke: 2px #fff;

body {
  font-family: sans-serif;
  background: #222;
  color: darkred;
}

h1 {
  -webkit-text-stroke: 2px #fff;
}

test

Also, read more at CSS-Tricks.

A: Sure. You could use CSS3 text-shadow :
text-shadow: 0 0 2px #fff;

However it wont show in all browsers right away. Using a script library like Modernizr will help getting it right in most browsers though.

A: I don't like that much solutions based on multiplying text-shadows, it's not really flexible, it may work for a 2 pixels stroke where directions to add are 8, but with just 3 pixels stroke directions became 16, and so on...
Not really confortable to manage.
The right tool exists, it's SVG <text>
The browsers' support problem worth nothing in this case, 'cause the usage of text-shadow has its own support problem too,
filter: progid:DXImageTransform can be used or IE < 10 but often doesn't work as expected.
To me the best solution remains SVG with a fallback in not-stroked text for older browser:
This kind of approuch works on pratically all versions of Chrome and Firefox, Safari since version 3.04, Opera 8, IE 9
Compared to text-shadow whose supports are:
Chrome 4.0,
FF 3.5,
IE 10,
Safari 4.0,
Opera 9, it results even more compatible.

.stroke {
  margin: 0;
  font-family: arial;
  font-size:70px;
  font-weight: bold;
  }

  svg {
    display: block;
  }

  text {
    fill: black;
    stroke: red;
    stroke-width: 3;
  }

  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="700" height="72" viewBox="0 0 700 72">
    <text x="0" y="70">Stroked text</text>

At the highest levels of athletic performance, either in training or in competition, world-class athletes expect a lot from their bodies. Muscular growth and strength depend on proteins, which are the building blocks of hard, powerful lean muscle tissue. Carbohydrates are needed to stimulate the production of energy, ensuring maximum performance levels during high-intensity sporting activities.
Building on the success of our original Muscle Milk formula, we've created Muscle Milk Pro Series in a delicious intense vanilla flavor. This unique formula combines a proprietary blend of protein sources (milk caseins and whey protein isolates), then adds in complex carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. The result is a flavorful beverage powder that mixes easily with liquids and is perfect for supplementing a balanced diet. Pro Series helps provide the protein needed for muscle growth and recovery, while the carbs support the production of energy in the form of ATP. Each serving contains 25g of protein and 9g of complex carbohydrates with 160 calories. The 2.54 lb. container makes it easy to take on the go, providing muscular and energy support wherever it is needed.
Muscle Milk Pro Series is designed to give athletes the proteins and carbs they need to perform at their very best. The intense vanilla flavor is a taste treat, offering a great way to supplement a balanced diet for the ultimate in performance gains.

The building work inside the library is moving along fast... and we are planning what to buy to make the new space fun, exciting, and a great place for you to read and enjoy!
In the meantime, it is great to be able to bring books to you, and really good to hear your feedback on the books in the box for each class. You are all choosing such interesting things!
You are doing a fab job Mrs Nicol in difficult circumstances!


We just came back from visiting the only diamond mine in North America open to the public. As you probably know, we are road tripping and backpacking/hiking quite a lot. I've tried my fair share of backpacks, but recently found my new favorite. The best backpack for work and adventure? My pick is: American Shield Backpack.
They sent me the one pictured above a few weeks ago, and it soon became my favorite. It has an inner 15″ laptop compartment, 8 small inner pockets, 1 front pocket, 2 external side pockets, 1 back pocket and 1 strap pocket. Enough room for pretty much everything. The American Shield Granite 25 Backpack I have boasts textile lining and Oxford Fabric, high quality straps, buckles, and zippers built to last.
And you know what? American Shield sent me another fashion backpack YOU can WIN on here! Just enter the Rafflecopter on the bottom of this post for your chance to win.
Back to road tripping. So especially since we remodeled a 1977 Scamp camper, we go see places even more often. Our most recent trip lead us to the Murfreesboro, AR, area. There are two things this small town is famous for: Trout Fishing, and DIAMONDS! Yep, you've read that right: You can find real diamonds in Arkansas.
After a medium successful fishing trip in the morning, I packed water, snacks, and diamond digging essentials (aka plastic containers due to lack of anything else) into my Granite 25 Backpack, and off we went.
The "Crater of Diamonds State Park" is a 911 acre state park in Pike County, Arkansas. The park features a 37.5-acre plowed field, the world's only diamond-bearing site accessible to the public. It's $10.00 for adults, $6.00 for children 6-12. Children 1-6 yr are free. Let me start off by saying: As long as you go in knowing that you will probably not find anything, this is a fun experience ;)!
I love rocks, and I saw a whole bunch of families having a great time searching the eroded surface of a volcanic crater for variety minerals and gemstones – and any rock or mineral you find is yours to keep. You may bring your own mining equipment to search with (no battery-operated or motor driven mining tools allowed), or rent tools from the park (the deposit is a bit pricey). Pretty much everyone said that the most and biggest diamonds were found by just walking around searching the surface, though.
At the visitor center you can view real, uncut diamonds and learn about the area's unique history and geology. At the "Diamond Discovery Center", you can learn more about rocks and minerals found at the park and how to search for diamonds using various techniques.
Did you know that diamonds come in all colors of the rainbow? We've learned that the three colors found here at the Crater of diamonds park are white, brown, and yellow.
Amethyst, garnet, jasper, agate, quartz, and other rocks and minerals naturally occur here. Park staff provide complimentary identification of rocks and minerals found at the park, as well as diamond mining demonstrations and other interpretive programs.
And now it's time for you to win your very own American Shield Backpack!
Just enter using the Rafflecopter below. Good luck!

I have a problem whith Facebook's login (or Dialogfeed) because the DialogFragment dont remain behind it when I "re-show" it.
What can I do to put/hide the DialogFragment behind the Facebook's login (or Dialogfeed) again?
or how can I remove the Facebook's login (or Dialogfeed) (if it's there)? (It´s a possible solution, the user should relaunch... doesnt matter)
thanks in advance
PD: more code of my app
when my main activity call my DialogFragment:
FragmentManager ft = getSupportFragmentManager();
                    DialogImage dialog = DialogImage.newInstance(user,index,title,url);
                    dialog.show(ft, "Mydialog");

LogginButton to login in FB inside layout that It´s inflate in my DialogFragment:
<com.facebook.widget.LoginButton
            xmlns:fb="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
            android:id="@+id/login_shareButton"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginLeft="20dp"/>

After user´s log I handle the action of LoginButton with:
share = (LoginButton) view.findViewById(R.id.shareButton);
        share.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {
            public void onClick(View v) {
              publishFeedDialog();
            }
       });

Then when I push this button can pop up the login window or the feeddialog.
So... my problem is when my app has opened the DialogFragment and the Login/DialogFeed and I rotate my device (handling manually in onConfigurationChanged()) and refresh the DialogFragment to landscape version, then the Login/DialogFeed hides behind the DialogFragment
resume: - Main activity calls DialogFragment
        --> DialogFramgent calls Login or FeedDialog (if user is login or not before)
        --> Rotate the device and refresh DialogFragment to Landscape version
        --> Login/FeedDialog is hidden and my app show my DialogFragment
        --> I can only close the DialogFragment to access Login/FeedDialog
        --> If I close it, and I try use the Login/DialogFeed --> error
 E/AndroidRuntime(1362): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Fragment DialogImage{4170ad00} not attached to Activity

Flare3D is a framework for developing interactive three-dimensional (3D) graphics within Adobe Flash Player and Adobe AIR, written in ActionScript 3. Flare3D includes a 3D object editor (the Flare3D IDE) and a 3D graphics engine for rendering 3D graphics. Flare3D runs on current web browsers utilizing the Adobe Flash Player, and uses Stage3D for GPU-accelerated rendering. Flare3D has not been under active development since late 2014.

Flare3D has been used to develop popular browser-based video games such as FarmVille 2 and CityVille 2. Flare3D is one of the first frameworks to make GPU-accelerated 3D applications practical for web browsers, and is similar in purpose and design to Away3D. Flare3D has been used to create 3D models in online applications, such as Space Designer 3D.

The Flare3D platform consists of a 3D world editor, a runtime engine, and a collection of plug-ins for various applications.

The 3D editor may be used to lay out 3D objects, and to generate compressed Flare3D binary packages of 3D models. Such 3D models and animations may be imported from third-party programs such as Autodesk 3ds Max, or Autodesk Maya, or other mesh-based 3D modeller. The 3D runtime engine is typically supplied as a closed-source SWC package, although small portions are released on the GitHub open-source website.

The Flare3D engine uses Stage3D for GPU-accelerated rendering, and contains support for rigid body physics, skeletal animations, and a proprietary GPU-shader language known as FLSL (Flare3D Shader Language). The engine also integrates with FLARToolkit (for augmented reality), Away Physics (from Away3D) and Starling (an Adobe project).

The Flare3D plug-in for Autodesk 3ds Max is provided for free, and enables one-click exporting of a 3D model from 3ds Max to the Flare3D file format. Animation data is also exported, for "Hierarchical" and "Skinned"-based animations. Texture data is automatically converted from unsupported formats to JPG and PNG formats which are supported by the Flare3D engine.

Flare3D has online help and a collaboratively-edited Wiki, forums, tutorials, examples, and documentation.

List of games
Flare3D is used in a number of commercial browser-based Flash video games.
 Dimensional Drift (by Cartoon Network)
 NetGuys (by Vodafone)
 CityVille 2 (by Zynga)
 FarmVille 2 (by Zynga)
 Chase Life (by Maruti Suzuki, ad advergame for the Alto K10)

We are called to Proclaim Jesus our Saviour
Call to Proclaim
The kindness and love of God for humanity have appeared in Jesus Christ.
In Him, the one true Saviour of the world, all people are called to union with God and one another to form the People of God.
Inspired by the Holy Spirit and out of concern for the salvation of all, Father Francis Mary of the Cross Jordan founded the Society of the Divine Saviour and gave it the apostolic purpose to announce to all people that Jesus is the Saviour.
The Constitution of the Society
Moved by the words of the Gospel: "Eternal life is this: to know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent," our Founder gave us the command and mission not to rest content until all people know, love, and serve Jesus as their Saviour.
And he said to them, "Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation"
Blessed Mary of the Apostles
Co-foundress of the Congregation of Sisters of the Divine Saviour.
Therese von Wüllenweber was born in Castle Myllendonk, Mönchengladbach, Germany on 19th February 1833. She went to the boarding school of the Benedic-tine Sisters in Liège, Belgium from 1848-1850. She attended Jesuit inspired parish missions in 1853 and 1857 and took part in a retreat in 1856; these made a great impression on her and fired her with a missionary vocation.
In 1857 in an attempt to clarify her vocation she entered the Sisters of the Sacred Heart in Bloemendaal, Netherlands. However, she left the order in March 1863 unable to commit herself to a congregation whose main purpose was education. In further attempts to try her vocation she spent short periods with the Sisters of Perpetual Adoration and the Visitation Sisters.
In 1875, in the presence of her spiritual director Dr. von Essen, she made a private vow committing herself to the mis-sions. In part of the former convent in Neuwerk she cared for orphans and gave the opportunity for older ladies to live a common life. However, it remained difficult for her to fully realise her vocation and she continued to search for a missionary community which she could join and put her resources at its disposal.
On 25th April 1882 she answered an advertisement placed by Father Bonaventura Lüthen for the Apostolic Teaching Society. The founder, Father Francis Jordan, visited her on 4th July 1882 and stayed for three days. He made a deep impres-sion on her and on 5th September 1882 she became the first female member of the first degree of the Apostolic Teaching Society.
In 1883 Father Jordan estab-lished a group of sisters in Rome but asked Mother Mary to remain in Neuwerk as a sister of the Catholic Teaching Society. However, problems occurred with the sisters in Rome and on 13th October 1885 they were separated from Father Jor-dan; they continue today as the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother.
In 1888 Father Jordan called Mother Mary to Rome. He found a house for the sisters in Tivoli and on 8th December 1888 she and two others received the habit from Father Jordan. On 25th March 1889 she made perpetual vows in the Sisters of the Catho-lic Teaching Society and was appointed superior. In December 1890 three sisters were sent to the first mission of the Society in Assam, India. By the end of 1892 there were about 50 sisters and novices in the house in Tivoli and they were being sent out to many different parts of the world.
In 1894 a typhus epidemic broke out in Tivoli and seven sisters died, this finally prompted the move to Rome. Mother Mary of the Apostles was unanimously elected as superior general at the first general chapter of the Sisters of the Divine Saviour in 1905. She died on 25th December 1907 after a short illness. In recognition of her personal virtues, trust in divine providence and commitment to the missions she was beatified on 13th October 1968. Her feast is kept on 5th September.


I did say that I would occasionally be posting NM related, but non-esoteric posts here and this is one.
My friend KC forwarded me an email today and I sadly learned that one of my favorite shops will be closing it's doors.
Since 1975 Martha's Body Bueno has been a fixture on Central Ave (old route 66) in the Nob Hill area. Inside there could be found all kinds of goodies, especially Martha's own line of all natural "lotions and potions."
I won't weep too much though, the new owner will be opening a shop called Seventh Goddess and will continue to carry Martha's line of goodies. Martha will continue her online store as well.
Bummer. I heard that Martha's might be gone soon on 94 Rock.


Professor Alan Irvine, a Consultant Dermatologist in Our Lady's Children's Hospital and Associate Professor of Dermatology in Trinity College Dublin, has been awarded the prestigious Marion B. Sulzberger, MD, Memorial Award and Lectureship for his work on eczema.
The Memorial Award and Lectureship is awarded to researchers that have made significant contributions to the understanding of clinical medicine via their basic research. Professor Irvine is only the second non-US based clinician-scientist to win the award.
Professor Irvine, an NCRC supported researcher, investigates the disease processes that lead to eczema (atopic dermatitis), the most common skin disease of children in the developed world. He primarily focuses on three aspects of the disease – genetic risk, the impact of infection with the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus, and the role of the immune system. In a breakthrough recognised worldwide, Professor Irvine identified mutations in a gene called filaggrin, which is important for skin barrier function, as a key contributing factor to the development of eczema. This research, carried out in collaboration with Professor Irwin McLean (University of Dundee), revolutionised how we think about the disease.
Professor Marion Baldur Sulzberger was the Chairman of the New York University-Bellevue Medical Centre, and later a professor of clinical dermatology at the University of California in San Francisco. He was also the founder of the Society for Investigative Dermatology, and president of the American Dermatological Association. The Marion B. Sulzberger, MD, Memorial Award and Lectureship was established by Mr Murray Gruber in 1983. The recipient presents a lecture during the Plenary session at the American Academy of Dermatology's Annual Meeting.

He had jumped into the golf boom, buying Fallen Timber, a hardscrabble course near Midway in Washington County, and turning it into Quicksilver Golf Club. He might as well have touched it with the philosopher's stone. The transformation was stunning. He had himself a tournament-quality course. Now, he had only to attract golfers.
As if on cue, the PGA Tour, the organization that brings you Phil Mickelson and the once-and-possibly-future Tiger Woods, et al., formed what it called the Ben Hogan Tour, a developmental tour for pros hoping to get to the "big tour." Sponsored by the Hogan equipment company, the Hogan was made to order for clubs like Quicksilver. Murphy leaped at his chance.
Murphy switched to the Senior Tour (50 and over) for five years. A number of PGA Tournaments were scattered through the last 10 or so years, among them the Pennsylvania Classic, the Marconi Classic, and the 84 Lumber Classic. The Mylan is scheduled to return in 2012. If the Mylan continues after that, it will be under a different tour name. Nationwide Insurance is ending its title sponsorship of the tour after that.
As the sponsors changed, the Hogan Tour became the Nike, then the Buy.com, and finally the Nationwide Tour.
It was a combination of accident and coincidence that first brought the Nationwide to Southpointe in 2010.
The Greenbrier Classic, at the Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., debuted on the PGA Tour in 2010, and that spelled the end of the Nationwide stop at the Pete Dye Golf Club at Bridgeport, W.Va. Tour officials decided that West Virginia was too small to support two tournaments in the same year.
Rod Piatt, owner and president of Southpointe Golf Club, was contacted by some Washington County officials: With the Pete Dye tournament gone, would he consider hosting a Nationwide tournament for charity in 2010?
Organizing a golf tournament is not like throwing a party. It's more like a military operation. The course has to be primped and preened. Grandstands have to be built, parking and transportation arranged, volunteers gathered (560 of them last year took a week's vacation and paid $30 for their tournament uniforms and the privilege of working for nothing), food laid out and pro-ams arranged. Also, a sponsor had to be found.
This was a lock for Piatt. Mylan is headquartered at the Southpointe business park, and CEO Robert Coury was just a step away. It was like going over to the neighbor's to borrow a cup of sugar. The Mylan Classic was born.
Despite running headlong into the Steelers, Pitt, high school football and the Pirates, the Mylan went swimmingly. This included raising money for charity, the sine qua non of the PGA Tour, the Champions Tour and the Nationwide Tour, all tax-exempt nonprofits. The 2010 Mylan raised more than $330,000 for regional charities. The bulk of it, over $277,000 — a record for first-time Nationwide events — came through the ANSYS Tickets Fore Charity, which benefited some 200 charities. In essence, this is a self-help program. The organizations sell tickets for the tournament and keep the net proceeds. ANSYS, a leader in computer aided design and simulation engineering — also headquartered at Southpointe — kicked in $35,000.
Somewhere, someone discovered that golf is good for business. Really good. Possibly the earliest example of this notion came in 1682, when the Duke of York decided to settle an argument with two English noblemen on the golf course. The bet was substantial. To their surprise, the duke chose for his partner not a fellow nobleman, but a lowly commoner named John Paterson, who happened to be a poor tailor from Edinburgh, and who, they discovered, also happened to be the best golfer around. Paterson was able to build a house with his winnings. Nobody could call the duke a hustler (that word hadn't entered the language yet), but the exercise was good practice for a man who would be king, which the duke went on to become, as James II.
Hustling remains the dark art of golf, but the game has long since settled into more conventional commerce — selling just about everything, creating image and drawing attention. For example, Augusta National Golf Club, founded in the teeth of the Great Depression, created the fabled Masters Tournament in order to attract wealthy members. Pinehurst, the North Carolina resort, started the Men's North & South Amateur to attract business. Golf is especially good at conveying an image of integrity and trust. This was a natural for Mylan.
Sponsorship is also an exercise in branding — getting one's good name known and keeping it there, which speaks to the other side of the equation: Mylan serves customers in over 150 countries and territories, and the tournament will reach some 125 million households worldwide through the Golf Channel.
The situation was a bit different for Rod Piatt. The Southpointe business park was already about 93 percent occupied even before the Marcellus Shale boom started in 2007 and turned the park into an energy capital. So renting space wasn't the goal. The tournament also would do little for Southpointe Golf Club, a private facility that doesn't have walk-up play. So hosting the tournament was a personal matter for Piatt.
Life was good for Kevin Kisner, but scary. Kisner, then 26 and a Nationwide sophomore out of Aiken, S.C., had trailed by three shots in last year's Mylan, and was about to enjoy his best finish in 25 starts. Say, second or third. But he was facing a mere four-foot putt for par on the final hole, a sure thing that a golfer can miss under the heavy pressure. He made it, for a bogey-free 67. But at first, he didn't realize what it meant to him.
"I didn't know I was going to win even when I made that last putt," Kisner said. Behind him, Geoffrey Sisk, who led going into the final round, was making a double bogey at the 17th. Then he failed to birdie the 18th. Said Kisner: "My whole world turned upside-down there in a minute." He had his first Nationwide victory, and the $108,000 first prize lifted him up on to the PGA Tour as one of the top 25 on the money list.
Three others from the Mylan Classic went on to the "big tour" in 2011 and chalked up rookie victories — Jhonattan Vegas, Brendan Steele and Keegan Bradley.
Steve Wheatcroft, from nearby Washington, Pa., playing under native-son pressure, faltered and tied for third, then got his first win early in June this year. He demolished the Melwood Prince George's County Open, setting all kinds of records and crushing the field. He shot 60 in the second round. He was leading by eight going into the final round and could have strolled in, smelling the flowers along the way. But he pulled an Arnie Palmer, instead. "I told my caddie I was going to put the pedal to the metal right from the start," Wheatcroft said. And he kept it there, right to the end. Even with the win in hand, he challenged the final hole, and eagled it for a 29-under-par 255 to win by 12.
"It was as good as it gets," said Wheatcroft, drawing a bead on a return to Southpointe, where he once cleaned clubs and stored carts.
The Mylan Classic returns to Southpointe Golf Club, Sept. 1 – 4.

Q: Lock free list with sync_val_compare_and_swap I'm trying to provide a thread safe way to update an object.  I've seen a few posts about it, but nothing that answers my question 100%.
What I want to do is maintain a pointer called 'm_First' to point at my data.  If someone calls get, I deference that pointer, returning a reference to the object it points at.
If Someone calls set, passing in a pointer to a new object, we add that pointer to our list and update m_First to point at the new object.
I store the objects in a vector, so that we can clean up memory when we are done.
Currently I have these members defined:
std::vector<MyObject*> m_List;
const MyObject* m_First;

First is intialized like this.
    m_First = m_List.back();
I want to allow multiple threads to read m_First, while multiple threads also write to m_First.
My class has two methods
MyObject& getMyObject() {return *m_First;}

void setMyObject(MyObject* newObj) {

  m_List.push_back(newObj); // add to list so we can later cleanup mem

  do {
    Node* oldHead = m_First;
  } while (!__sync_bool_compare_and_swap(m_First, *oldHead, *newObj));
}

What I am wondering is, returning *m_First in the get method thread safe.  i.e. Can I safely dereference this and return the reference to the object, while another thread is attempting to update m_First, or do I need to use some sort of atomic method for reading m_First.
Any advice/help would be appreciated.

A: In order to make sure that the value is read from memory and not from a register, you will need to do an atomic read.
There are different ways to achieve this. On some systems reading an aligned, word-size value through a volatile pointer cast like *(const volatile MyObject*)p will work. But since you are already using builtin atomic operations you could just make use of something like __sync_add_and_fetch with an add of 0.

A:
I want to allow multiple threads to read m_First, while multiple threads also write to m_First.

How will multiple threads write to m_First? If it's through setMyObject then they will all modify the m_List vector concurrently, which will be a data race and almost certainly corrupt the vector.

Can I still win my Florida car accident case if my memory of the accident now conflicts with things I might have said at the time of the accident?
In Florida you can still win your case if your memory now conflicts with what you said at the time of the accident. Specifically when it pertains to police reports. When an accident occurs and the police show up at the scene they take information from both drivers. They take background information and they also take information regarding what the drivers know about what happened and they take statements. Those statements are actually considered privileged. They fall under the accident report privilege.
As a result, those statements are not permissible to be shown or displayed or actually read in court. Anything that a party to an accident tells the police will never be seen in court. As a result, if your memory changes or new evidence comes to light and the facts somewhat change that police report cannot be used against you.

Home INFOtainment NASA has lost their ducks
NASA has lost their ducks
Sailors, fishermen and cruise passengers should be on the alert. If anybody spots a yellow rubber duck bobbing on the ocean waves, Nasa would like to know.
The US space agency has yet to find any trace of 90 bathtub toys that were dropped through holes in Greenland's ice three months ago in an effort to track the way the Arctic icecap is melting. Scientists threw the ducks into tubular holes known as "moulins" in the Jakobshavn glacier on Greenland's west coast, hoping they would find their way into channels beneath the hard-packed surface, to track the flow of melt water into the ocean.
"We haven't heard anything from them yet," Nasa robotics expert Alberto Behar told the BBC.
Also missing is a football-sized floating robotic probe equipped with a GPS positioning transmitter and powered by hi-tech batteries. It has failed to communicate its position. "We did not hear a signal back, so it probably got stuck under the ice somewhere," said Behar.
The experiment was intended to examine the movement of glaciers, which has speeded up in recent years. Scientists believe that melting water lubricates the bases of glaciers.
Although low-tech, the $2 ducks were chosen for their buoyancy and for their ability to withstand low temperatures. Nasa is offering a modest prize of $100 to the first person who finds a duck. The ducks have an email address stamped on them, together with the word "reward" in three languages, including Inuit. [via]

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei mocked the United States on Friday, following the mob invasion of the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday.
In a 50-minute televised speech, Khamenei said: "This is their democracy; this is their elections' situation."
In a tweet, also on Friday, the Iranian leader posted, "The US openly says its interests require instability in this region. The US wanted to start a civil war in Iran in 2009, & now God has afflicted them with the same predicament in 2021. The recent chaos reached a point where Congress members had to escape through secret tunnels."
In his speech, Khamenei also said that Iran is in no rush to see the United States rejoin the 2015 nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA. The United States withdrew from it in May 2018, reimposing sanctions lifted under it, along with enacting new sanctions as part of what the Trump administration has called a "maximum pressure" campaign.
"We are in no rush, and we are not insisting on their return," he said. "Our demand, which is both logical and rational, is the lifting of sanction."
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden has said the United States would return to the JCPOA if Iran returns to compliance, followed by further negotiations addressing additional issues such as the regime's ballistic-missile program.
