Q: How to avoid typecasting or object class checking in state design pattern? I am implementing a state manager to control an object state pattern. My StateManager has a property currentMode, which can be of type PenState, EraserState, ZoomState (all subclasses of State).
But, in the receiver side while fetching currentMode, how can I avoid typecasting? what is wrong with the design? what is correct way to do it?
State *state = [StateManager sharedManager].currentMode;
if([state isKindOfClass:[PenState Class]]) //how to avoid this type checking
{
    penState *penState = (PenState*)state;
    CGSize penSize = penState.size;
}

My classes
@interface PenState : State

@property(nonatomic,strong) NSString *color;
@property(nonatomic,assign) CGSize size;

@end

@interface StateManager : NSObject
{

}
@property(nonatomic,strong)State *currentMode;

@end

Updated:
Do I need to maintain enum's in State Class
    typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, Mode)
    {
        None = 0,
        Pen,
        Eraser,
        Zoom
    };

@protocol StateProtocol <NSObject>
-(Mode)toolbarMode;
@end

@implementation WriteState

-(Mode)toolbarMode
{
    return Pen;
}

@end

A: The point of the state pattern is that the states should be interchangeable from the point of view of the state machine, so each state should conform to a protocol (or perhaps in your case a superclass should present the common interface) which provides all of the common requirements. As such, all of your states (your tools) should accept a size and an action which uses the specified size, either setting the size of a pen and drawing a line, or setting the zoom size and executing the zoom.
Where there are differences in the state you could do a class check, and this should be relatively uncommon and in relatively specific code. If the code is specific then you should usually know the class that is expected so you can just typecast.
Inheritance and protocols can be used to create subsets of your states too, so you can have tool states (with size), but also drawing states (with colour) for example, and then you can continue to typecast to the super class / protocol and not be concerned with each specific implementation class.

These new color operations can be used to add more flexibility to how your sprites are rendered, and no longer requires custom code when moving from XNA to Desktop GL.
Color operations can be previewed quickly through the Glue preview window (aka GlueView). The best way to learn about how these work is to create a sprite and test out different combinations of color operations and color values.
This change introduces a few minor breaking changes. If your project is experiencing any problems see the sections below for fixes.

The (confusing) ColorOperation.None has been completely removed from FlatRedBall. Conceptually, every graphical object must have a color operation, and ColorOperation.None was internally treated as ColorOperation.Texture . If your code uses ColorOperation.None , you can either convert it to ColorOperation.Texture , or you can make the ColorOperation a nullable if you need to distinguish between a specifically set value and an uninitialized value.

Seeing the Magic
Open a School for Children in the Himalayas
Join our mission to make a film, to help Nubri Monastery in Nepal open a school for children in the Himalayas
The primary reason we are making this documentary is 'caused based'. Nubri Monastery wants to build a school to educate and empower the children of the Himalayas, surrounding the Monastery. This school will provide an education, a spiritual base and a safe haven for young kids. As there is a problem in Nepal with child sex-trafficking, this school will be a much needed resource for families and children.
The film will document the journey of Nuptul Rinpoche, and his quest to build and open this school to help children. The prayer is that this professional film will get out into the world, and attract the support to complete the Monastery's vision.
The old saying comes to mind, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, give a man a fishing rod and you feed his family for life.'
The money that we raise will buy many fishing rods, and cast an intent for support out into the world for many years to come.
Thank you for your heartfelt support; let's create a loving miracle for Nepal.

We are in love with up and coming music duo Priory, we learned all about their unquestionable dedication to music and what they've got coming up!
Brandon and I started playing music together 10 or 11 years ago. We both moved into the same old dirty flophouse. It didn't have a usable kitchen and didn't really have a bath, but there were about 10 of us living there so rent was really cheap. The one thing we did have was musical gear, which is when I first started playing. It clicked right away and we wrote a couple songs within the first two days of living together. We went our separate ways for a bit, but when we both got back together the same connection was there and we started this band.
What's the competition like in Portland to be a musician?
We don't look at music like a competitive sport. There is definitely room for every type of musician and type of band. For that it is a great place to create. There are so many amazing artists living within the city. It's really inspiring to be there.
How does Portland influence your music?
Portland is where we live, but to be totally honest we locked ourselves away in the studio and did this record on our own terms.
Why the name Weekend for your EP?
'Weekend' was the first song that we released off this new album. It made the most sense because of the radio play feedback we've been getting on it.
Where can we buy/listen to EP?
There's a couple of sites streaming the EP right now. You can listen on Spotify or buy on iTunes.
Dead or alive, We love the greats; Joe Strummer, David Bowie, Elvis Costello. We are both drawn to artists that write prolific amounts of material.
We are currently on our way to Life is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas. Many more shows on our way back to Portland. We will be on tour for the next two years!

Series - Barely Breathing Ballerina
Miguel Munoz Barruos
Can Bailey Return to Work And Avoid A Relapse? (Barely Breathing Ballerina E4)
Bailey Vincent, professional dancer and deaf culture advocate, is still recovering from a complicated triple surgery. She hoped it would address the cystic fibrosis symptoms that have been limiting her ability to lead and perform with her ballet group, Company360, but the road back has been rough.
In this episode, Bailey discusses how recovering from this surgery has been particularly slow and tedious so far, perhaps because this is the third time she has been operated on in the span of a month. "It has really been hard. You feel like you look different, and your vanity comes into play," she reflects. "Behind the scenes I'm honestly feeling a lot worse than I am going to show."
Despite her discomfort, life won't slow down to make it easier. She is still taking care of her two girls, teaching her classes, choreographing a big show, and running her dance company. Her parents are concerned about her jumping back into a full schedule when she isn't close to feeling 100% yet. "Listen to your body and listen to your parents," her Dad advises. "We love you so much so please don't push it."
When Bailey gets to her first stop, a photo shoot for a new "ghost themed" dance routine, it's exhausting. Bailey struggles to finish the shoot, not having as much energy as she is used to. She then moves on to her studio where she tries to dance and teach at her usual pace. Although she starts out pretty strong, after a while Bailey can barely move, and ends up having to teach mostly from the sidelines. After class, her sister Corey expresses concern and worry for her, and Bailey confesses how torn she feels. "It's super frustrating as the Choreographer and Artistic Director to not be able to run rehearsal the way I want to which means giving 100%, dancing completely full out," she says, "It's really difficult to feel like I'm holding back when I'm expecting my dancers to do the same for me."
See how Bailey copes with the stressful decisions facing her... keep working and risk a relapse and another health decline ... or … listen to her sister and parents, take a break, and let herself heal?

Torn earlobes are common, and easily fixable requiring no down time – you can immediately return to work and your daily activities. The procedure to fix torn earlobes usually takes less than an hour, making this a perfect lunch hour procedure!
Earlobes usually tear in one of two ways. The first is by simply wearing earrings that are too heavy. This type of tear happens very slowly, usually over several years. The second type is when an earring gets pulled, causing the earring post or wire to rip through the bottom of the lobe. This type can often be caused by baby hands grabbing at their mother's jewelry, or by an earring getting caught in something such as clothing.
How is a torn earlobe repaired?
There are several ways to repair a torn earlobe. The procedure will depend on the type of tear you have as well as if you would like your piercing repaired or re-pierced. The most common procedure uses what is known as a z-plasty repair. Z-plasty allows the scar to heal more easily and to be less noticeable however, you will need to wait six to twelve weeks before you can re-pierce your ears. Surgeons use this common technique with various incisions to minimize scarring.
What can I expect after I have had a torn earlobe repaired?
Recovery from a torn earlobe repair is quite easy. You will be able to return to all of your normal activities immediately. It is important to keep your earlobes very clean. You may be given antibiotics to reduce chances of possible infection. Depending on the type of repair performed you may be asked to refrain from wearing earrings or re-pierce your ears for a couple of months.
All surgeries come with some level of risk, such as infection or hematoma (bleeding under the skin), however these complications are rare.
If you suffer from torn earlobes, miss wearing your favorite earrings or feel self-conscious, we encourage you to learn more about earlobe repair procedures and to call our office at 732-641-3350 and we are happy to provide any additional information or schedule your appointment with Dr.Boris Volshteyn, our board certified plastic surgeon.

Putting on weight? Blame your fat friend
OBESITY is "socially contagious", with people who have an overweight friend facing a dramatically increased risk of becoming similarly fat.
A study of more than 12,000 people found that if someone was obese, the chances their friend would also become obese increased by 57 per cent.
Their sibling's risk of obesity would also increase 40 per cent and their spouse by 37 per cent.
The researchers, from Harvard Medical School and the University of California, said this suggested obesity was "socially contagious", spreading from person to person in a social network. But they said the greatest effect was not among people sharing the same genes or household, but among friends.
Professor Nicholas Christakis, co-author of the study, said: "It's not that obese or non-obese people simply find other similar people to hang out with. Rather, there is a direct causal relationship." He said the connection was not as simple as saying that friends adopted each other's lifestyles. "It's more subtle than that," he said.
"What appears to be happening is that a person becoming obese most likely causes a change of norms about what counts as an appropriate body size.
"People seem to think that it is okay to be bigger since those around them are bigger and this sensibility spreads."
The research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, covers a period of 32 years. James Fowler, a co- author of the study, said: "Consciously or unconsciously, people look to others when they are deciding how much to eat, how much to exercise and how much weight is too much.
"Social effects, I think, are stronger than people realised.
When we help one person lose weight, we're helping many." He added: "We've not only shown obesity is contagious, but thinness is contagious too."

From Graham: 'The following appeared in The Times yesterday, 09/04/19':
Donald Trump's allies often compare claims of Russian collusion to "a badly written spy novel". Now one intelligence analyst thinks they might be right.
Euan Grant, a border control consultant who has worked in former Soviet republics, has spotted some striking similarities between the Steele dossier on Russian collusion and a Cold War-era thriller.
Ikon, a 1983 novel by the Scottish author Graham Masterton, is about a president whose predilection for prostitutes and unusual sexual requests leaves him susceptible to Russian blackmail.
In another twist, Masterton told The Times that his book was inspired by Ronald Reagan's brother Neil, who told him that the former US president suspected the Russians were "forever trying wheedle their way into various structures of US politics".
Mr Trump vehemently denied allegations that he hired prostitutes to urinate on a Moscow hotel bed, as outlined in a dossier compiled by the former British spy Christopher Steele. The Mueller inquiry in the US recently concluded that there was no collusion between Mr Trump and Russia in the 2016 election.
Mr Grant, a former strategic intelligence analyst at Customs and Excise, said: "I read Ikon in 1983 and the premise is that every US president since the Cuban missile crisis had been fatally compromised by the Russians. A key part of the plot is that a presidential candidate in the US is vulnerable to blackmail precisely because of the same kind of lurid sexual practice that allegedly Trump went through.
"It wouldn't be the first time a blackmailing intelligence agency has got an idea from a book."
Mr Grant, who was born in Greenock, advised the European Commission on border control in Ukraine. He is concerned about Russia's attempts to undermine western governments but sceptical about some of the outlandish conspiracy theories about Mr Trump.
Masterton, the Edinburgh-born author of more than 100 novels, said the lurid blackmail plot was "probably just a figment of my imagination" drawn from his years as editor of the adult magazines Mayfair and Penthouse UK. But he said there was a "strange possibility" that his novel went on to inspire the sources who informed the Steele dossier. He said: "This kind of extraordinary thing does happen. It was very popular at the time, really well received, sold a lot of copies, and was translated into Polish and Czech.
"In the strange world of intelligence, a lot of it is not intelligence at all. It's just a lot of imagination, wishful thinking, conspiracy theories, and ideas that agents may have picked up from books and almost come to believe is true."
Masterton said he used to go drinking with Neil Reagan near San Diego. "Neil was often very grumpy about Ronald and used to say things like, 'My brother is president of the USA and all I got for my birthday was this lousy necktie.'"
From Graham: 'Stranglehold, the short horror story that I co-authored by Dawn Gorham Harris will be launched in its Greek edition on April 6 at the Fantasmagoria festival in Thessaloniki.'
From Graham: 'Three Katie Maguire crime thrillers have so far been published in German by Festa Verlag, and more are on the way! Right now I am writing Katie #11, as yet untitled.'
From Graham: 'The Third Annual Graham Masterton Written In Prison Award is launched in Poland today, April 1. We are inviting inmates of all of Poland's penal institutions to write 1,000-word short stories on any subject. There will be prizes for the ten best, and we are hoping to publish an anthology of the winning stories from the first three years of the contest.
'The prizes will be presented at Wolow Prison near Wroclaw in September.
'Special thanks to Marcin Dymalski and Iwona Bawolska, who make the contest possible, and also to Robert Kuchera the Warden of Wolow Prison for his enthusiasm and support.'
From Graham: 'Easily one of the most touching dedications I have ever been given ... especially since the book is so brilliant. It's Number One in the non-fiction bestseller list in Ireland!'
From Graham: 'Sebastian Sokolowski's horror magazine Okolica Strachu, which is easily the best in Poland, has just been published. It is full of great stories and fascinating articles about horror, as well as the short story "Stranglehold" written by Dawn G Harris and me.'
From Graham: 'From April 19 - 21 I shall be attending Trolls et Legendes, the fantasy festival in Mons, Belgium. I shall be promoting the French-language edition of Ghost Virus as well as signing any other French-language editions that readers bring along.
'A bit of stop-press ... Bragelonne will be bringing out a new edition of Ritual in French and promoting it at over 70 book festivals this year under their new line called "Bragelonne Terreur".'
From Graham: 'The Greek anthology of short stories which features "Stranglehold" co-authored by me and Dawn G Harris will be launched this Saturday March 6 at the Polis Art Cafe in Athens at 6:00 pm (if you feel like going!) and it will be promoted at various venues around Greece before a major launch at the Fantasmagoria horror and sci-fi festival on April 6-7 in Thessaloniki.
'The book is called Stranglehold in Greek (actually "noose"). (I had thought it was called "Rock" but blame that on Google Translate).'
From Graham: 'Thanks to Inge and Frank Festa at Festa Verlag my books have been selling very well in Germany and I am hoping to have new German-language editions out soon.
'I visited Leipzig to "meet and greet" with German readers and also to say hello to Johann Sebastian Bach.
'Here is a link to a German-language review of my work.'
From Graham: 'A new Greek horror anthology has just been published with the creepy tale I wrote with Dawn G Harris "Stranglehold" as its lead story. The title of the book translates as Rock, although I'm not sure if this means "rock" as in "Gibraltar" or "rock" as in "'n'roll".'
From Graham: 'My friend Dr Sabina Brennan, a famous neuroscientist from Trinity College Dublin, has had her first book published today (March 7). 100 Days To A Younger Brain tells you how to sharpen your thinking and defer possible dementia.
'The book came about after both Sabina and I were appearing last year on the RTE afternoon TV show in Cork - The Today Show With Maura and Daithi (I was talking about my Katie Maguire thrillers.) After I heard her speak about brain health I asked her if she had ever considered writing a book on the subject. She never had, so I asked her to write me some sample chapters and a synopsis, and I found her an agent in London.
'She sent me the book chapter by chapter to approve, and when it was finished it was picked up by Orion Spring, the health and welfare division of Orion publishers. It has been featured with a double-page spread in the Daily Mail and there will be an interview in The Times.
'Along with Dawn G Harris, the author of Diviner, Sabina and I are now developing a series of books to help parents cope with children's mental challenges, such as depression, self-harm, bullying and brain injury. Sabina describes how her book came to be written in a very gracious acknowledgement in the beginning.'
This is where Graham will be visiting in May:
Two of Graham's books are available in this month's Amazon (UK) Kindle monthly deals, Living Death (£1.99) and Ghost Virus (£0.99).

From Graham: 'Dawn G Harris (the author of Diviner) gave me a present tonight that I will treasure always ... a 1927 copy of Edgar Allan Poe's Tales of Mystery & Imagination ... the book that inspired me when I was only 10 years old to write my first horror stories.'
From Graham: 'I have just received my copies of Infekcja, the Polish edition of Plague of the Manitou. This is the latest struggle between Harry Erskine and Native American demons, and will enable Polish readers to complete their collection of Manitou madness!'
From Graham: 'A lunch yesterday at Rules, London's oldest restaurant, to thrash out ideas for a new co-authored book with Dawn G. Harris, Camilla Shestopal (our agent), Dr Sabina Brennan and me. And some oysters!'
From Graham: 'I had a great time meeting French readers and friends at Noeux-les-Mines fantasy and horror book festival on Sunday 10th Feb. I don't know how many copies of the French-language edition of Ghost Virus I signed, but it was a lot! The young Belgian publishing company who have brought it out, Livr'S, are incredbly enthusiastic and they are doing everything they can to build up my sales in France again after a long hiatus during which horror did not sell at all well. A new generation is emerging who have been brought up on fantasy and horror games and they are extremely keen on anything supernatural and scary!'

THE DEVIL IN GRAY
By Graham Masterton
In a town still plagued by ghosts of the Civil War, there is a serial killer on the loose. Recently, there have been a series of particularly grotesque and seemingly random mutilation murders, all of which took place in locked rooms. The only tip authorities have received comes from a young girl with Down syndrome who supposedly witnessed the killer in action. The Devil in Gray is a dramatic and suspenseful story, dotted with elements of the supernatural—making it a great fit for the big screen.

The Hoop Project in Gallipolis City Park.
GALLIPOLIS — Gallia's three-on-three basketball tournament, The Hoop Project, will be returning July 21 and 22 with age brackets for children and on into adulthood.
The Hoop Project has traditionally been a double-elimination style tournament bracket. The deadline to register is July 14 at 9 p.m. Referees will be available for every game and professional medical staff will be on hand. The event has been recognized in recent years as being the largest operating event held in Gallipolis City Park.
The event was originally organized by the Downtown Revitalization Project with a goal to generate revenue for local businesses and provide entertainment to attract visitors to Gallipolis. It has featured a variety of attractions in the past. Youtube viral performer Froggy Fresh performed before crowds last year. This year bounce houses and food are being discussed for Saturday events.
In the first year, the event had 65 teams sign up, then 75, then 115 and 2016 had 155. Pugh said the event has grown every year and upcoming years made need to reconsider logistical needs given the size of the event. Last year, the event featured around 180 teams with six players each.

Non-communicable diseases news
"Listen first" is the theme for this year International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking, which is observed each 26th June. The campaign includes the recommendation of "listening to children and young people" as "the first step to help them grow healthy and safe, decreasing risk behaviors and drug use".
"Listen first" is a campaign being developed by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), to promote evidence based universal prevention programmes, favoring communication in various contexts, such as family, school or health services.
In the region of the Americas, Antigua and Barbuda, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, are participating in this initiative.
The Pan Americna Health Organization, at the regional and country level, and through alliances with strategic partners, is strengthening national capacities for the development, implementation and evaluation of health and drugs policies, promoting the integration of care in health networks, to improve the access and quality of services. On the International Day against Drug Abuse and illicit Trafficking, PAHO ratifies its commitment to accompany and support Member States to achieve the UNGASS 2016 agreed health recommendations, in pursuit of a comprehensive and balanced approach on the drug problems in the region of the Americas.
Public health dimension of the world drug problem
Drug use, drug use disorders and related health conditions are major public health concerns. Addressing the world drug problem is essential for promoting health, and peaceful and inclusive societies, and realizing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Member States of the region of the Americas must face enormous challenges in relation to the use of psychoactive substances, especially among the youth, such as the prevention of use, access to quality treatment, the management of emerging issues relating to new substances or the epidemic of adverse effects by the abuse of opiates, among others.
At the special session of the General Assembly of the United Nations _UNGASS, devoted to the world drug problem, it was stressed the importance of addressing this problem from a comprehensive and balanced approach.It was recognized that the respect for human rights is vital to protect the health and welfare of humankind. Everyone has the right to drug treatment and care. Not as an "addict", nor as a "drug user" - but as a human being.
The public health strategies and the health sector have an important role in mitigating drug-related harm at all levels. Health workers can have a positive influence on children and youth, identify risk behavior and intervene timely, simply and effectively. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) have this year signed a memorandum of understanding, to assist countries in the implementation of the health related recommendations of the UNGASS.
The celebration of the International Day against Drug Abuse and illicit Trafficking was established by the UN in 1987, to emphasize the need for strengthening actions in support to an international community free of drugs, in all countries.
This year, the celebration motto is "Listen first" recommended by "listening to children and young people" as "the first step to help them grow healthy and safe, decreasing risk behaviors and drug use".

Abstract Long-term exposure to drug may alter the neural system associated with affective processing, as evidenced by both clinical observations and behavioral data documenting dysfunctions in emotional experiences and processing in drug addicts. Although many imaging studies examined neural responses to drug or drug-related cues in addicts, there have been few studies explicitly designed to reveal their neural abnormalities in processing non-drug-related natural affective materials. The present study asked abstinent heroin addicts and normal controls to passively view standardized affective pictures of positive, negative, or neutral valence and compared their brain activities with functional MRI. Compared to normal controls, addicts showed reduced activation in right amygdala in response to the affective pictures, consistent with previous reports of blunted subjective experience for affective stimuli in addicts. Furthermore, in two visual cortical areas BA 19 and 37, while the controls showed greater responses to positive pictures than to negative ones replicating literature findings, the addicts showed the opposite pattern. The results reveal a complex pattern of altered processing of non-drug-related affected materials in addicts showing both heightened and blunted neural responses in different brain regions and for different stimulus valence. The present study highlights the importance of brain imaging research on drug addicts' processing of affective stimuli in understanding disruptions in their emotion circuitry. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Эстонская кухня () — традиции приготовления пищи и национальные блюда эстонцев. Под национальными блюдами часто подразумевают, в первую очередь, типичные блюда крестьянской кухни до середины XIX века. Однако и в более поздние времена некоторые блюда стали традиционными и широко распространёнными; кухни других народов приспосабливались к местным традициям.

История

Сильное влияние на эстонскую кухню в разные времена оказали немецкая, шведская и русская кухни. В сравнении с латышской и литовской, эстонская кухня более «морская».

Писатель и гурман Карл Мартин Синиярв:

Пищевое сырьё, технология и композиционные приёмы эстонской кухни довольно просты, вкус натуральный. Из сырья самыми характерными являются картофель, рыба (особенно салака), свинина и мясные субпродукты, молоко, сметана, капуста, горох, крупа и чёрный хлеб. Еда простая и питательная, порой жирная. В традиционной эстонской кухне продукты преимущественно варятся в жидкой среде, обжаривание применяется редко. Эстонская кухня мало использует приправы и пряности. Кроме соли и лука традиционно употреблялись укроп, петрушка и тмин; майоран в кровяные колбасы, лавровый лист и душистый перец в холодец. Своеобразие вкуса достигается в результате необычных сочетаний пищевого сырья (рыба со свиным салом, горох с молоком). Общий вкус и аромат эстонской кухни — натуральный, слегка кисловатый, молочный.

До XIX века эстонская кухня не отличалась разнообразием. Ржаной хлеб являлся основным продуктом питания. Само слово «хлеб» () на эстонском обозначает и пищу и пропитание вообще. С хлебом были связаны различные приметы. Круглый год, наряду с хлебом, основной пищей эстонцев была солёная салака. Пили квас или простоквашу, к праздникам варили пиво. До наших дней популярна кама () — комбинированное толокно из муки, смолотой из предварительно обжаренных семян ржи, овса, ячменя и гороха, которое смешивалось со свежим молоком или простоквашей. В некоторых регионах ели овсяный кисель с холодным молоком или с маслом.

Крестьянин летом уходил на поле во время восхода и первый раз ел в 8—9 часов утра. Днём обедали в поле, ели хлеб и солёную салаку. Главной едой дня был ужин в 8—9 часов вечера и к ужину собирались все жители крестьянского дома. На ужин готовили гороховый или бобовый суп, в среду и в субботу кашу из крупы или муки. Только после отмены крепостного права, когда поля стали располагаться вблизи дома, появилась возможность готовить горячую пищу и днём, главной едой стал не ужин, а обед.

Разнообразие в рацион эстонцев вносили праздничные и обрядовые блюда. К празднику на столе появлялся серый хлеб сепик ().
На Рождество и к Новому году делали колбасы, изначально с начинкой из круп, позднее с добавлением крови. Считалась, что эта колбаса — кишки, наполненные крупой — приносит в дом счастье и довольство. В день свадьбы, но и в другие праздники, обязательно подавали холодец (). На смотрины новорождённого приносили ячменную кашу или оладьи из ячменной муки.

С середины XIX века, когда эстонцам стал известен картофель, он вытеснил многие блюда и занял второе место после хлеба. Во второй половине XIX века благодаря развитию экономики и торговли значительно расширился выбор сырья и разнообразились технологии приготовления пищи. Важным периодом развития эстонской кухни было начало XX века до 1930-х годов, когда в связи с экономическим развитием, расширением международных связей, появлением женских журналов и курсов гастрономии стало формироваться новое, немного более изысканное и разнообразное слоение эстонской кухни. На праздничном столе наряду с традиционным холодцом появились паштет и разные салаты. Дома стали готовить разные консервы.

Современность
В советский период эстонская кухня через государственную систему общественного питания подвергалась влияниям русской, кавказской и даже среднеазиатской кухни.

После восстановления независимости международные контакты страны стали расширяться и традиционная кухня стала терять популярность. Но, например, на Рождество эстонцы и по сей день ставят на стол холодец, кровяную колбасу с соусом из брусники и жаркое из свинины с квашеной капустой, выпекают традиционное рождественское печенье пипаркоок. К Масленице () выпекают сладкие булочки со взбитыми сливками вастлакуклид (). А вечером в Иванов день (, отмечается 24 июня), воздух над Эстонией наполняется ароматом шашлыка и гриль-колбаски.

Сегодня в традиционный эстонский «холодный стол» () обычно входит маринованная сельдь со сметаной, холодец, взбитый паштет из печени, картофельный салат, салат росолье (), маринованные огурцы и тыква, рулетики из ветчины с начинкой, фрикадельки под майонезом и фаршированные яйца. Такое праздничное меню до сих пор предпочитают особенно в сельской местности.

Особое место в эстонской кухне занимают молочные продукты. Молоко, простокваша, йогурт, творог и домашний сыр входят в повседневный рацион питания. Типичный завтрак — каша, омлет или бутерброды, в последнее время также мюсли с йогуртом. Довольно много пьют кофе, предпочитая сорта светлой жарки скандинавского типа.

Супы — достаточно распространённое блюдо. Наиболее распространены картофельные, капустные и гороховые супы. Мясо отваривается обычно одним куском, остальная часть состоит из картофеля, капусты или гороха, моркови, перловой крупы или макаронных изделий. В гороховый и бобовый суп добавляют копчёную свинину.

Характерными для эстонской кухни являются смешанные крупяные, овоще-крупяные и овощные каши, например, каша из перловки и картофеля мульгипудер (). В качестве основного блюда иногда может являться каша из картофеля или отварной картофель с густым соусом из жира, муки, бульона или сливок и кусочек мяса, мясного фарша или колбасы. Популярное блюдо мульгикапсад () — квашеная капуста, приготовленная со свининой и перловой крупой.

Из овощей на первом месте по употреблению стоит картофель, на втором — капуста и горох, затем морковь и брюква. Свёкла используется редко, главным образом в свекольном салате и в салате росолье. С начала 1990-x годов употребление картофеля стало снижаться, больше стали есть рис и макаронные изделия. Повышается популярность разных полуфабрикатов.

Больше других видов рыб в эстонской кухне употребляются салака и килька. Эту рыбу жарят и делают из неё запеканки, заливая яично-молочной смесью и пересыпая мелко нарезанным укропом. «Таллинские кильки» () пряного посола пользуются большой популярностью. В приморских частях Эстонии используют камбалу, во внутренних районах рыбные блюда приготовляют из щуки и леща, у Чудского озера из снетков и ряпушки. Горячему копчению подвергают в основном салаку, леща, угря.

В мясных вторых блюдах преобладает нежирная свинина. Эстонская кухня использует метод медленного отваривания больших кусков мяса () в толстостенной посуде либо в духовке, либо в печи на углях. Оно используется для вторых блюд обычно с отварным картофелем. Из печени готовят вторые блюда, отваривая её в сметанно-сливочном соусе. К мясным блюдам относится также популярный холодец из свиной головы и ножек, который подаётся с отварным картофелем или с хлебом.

В ассортимент традиционных сладких блюд входят хлебный суп, густой кисель со взбитыми сливками или молоком, взбитый манный мусс из фруктового сока, творожный крем с вареньем, яблочная запеканка, буберт, а также блины с вареньем и разные пирожные.

Q: Avoid extra linebreak at the end of modified "proof" environment This question is related to How to change the word "Proof" in the proof environment?.
I would like that the proofs in my document begin with "Proof. ---", instead of the standard "Proof." by default. But if I try to modify this setting, whatever solution I tried, I also get an extra line break at the end of the proof (and the \qed is placed on the extra blank line).
Here is a MWE:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{enumitem}

\newtheorem{theo}{Theorem}[section]
\renewenvironment{proof}{{\noindent \itshape Proof. ---}}{\qed}

\begin{document}

\begin{theo}
  My theorem.
\end{theo}

\begin{proof} In two steps:
  \begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
  \item The first step
  \item The second step
  \qedhere
  \end{enumerate}
\end{proof}

\end{document}

As you can see in this MWE, the "Proof. ---" is correctly set, but I get an extra new line. I tried some solutions (found on SE) to remove the extra new line, but it seems that none of them is compatible with the "renaming" of proof environment. How can I do both?
Thanks!

A: A solution: using the xpatch package to modify only the \@addpunct instruction. This is working:
\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{xpatch}

\makeatletter
\xpatchcmd\proof{\@addpunct{.}}{\@addpunct{.} ---}{}{}
\makeatother

\newtheorem{theo}{Theorem}[section]

\begin{document}

\begin{theo}
  My theorem.
\end{theo}

\begin{proof} In two steps:
  \begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)]
  \item The first step
  \item The second step
  \qedhere
  \end{enumerate}
\end{proof}

\end{document}

Have you heard that VR porn cannot be edited? So actress is required to have impressive and uninterrupted vr anal sex for 25 minutes with a partner whom you won't see. Because the partner will be you. The face of the actor at such moments is rarely seen, and the shooting is as close as possible to what the viewer would see if the actress had sex with him.
What Are the Challenges?
When you put on a helmet, your reality goes away;
You no longer watch movies on the computer, you teleport to the room to the actress;
Your hands are not occupied with a keyboard or mouse;
You don't contemplate on the fantasy from the outside, you are inside it.
So production studios have a lot to do in terms of purchasing expansive equipment and choosing proper actors to play because the process of one intercourse can't be stopped.
Why Users Like It?
The clients' erotic escapism, in the opinion of many experts, is the future not only of pornography but also of technology in general. Because the whole history of porn goes hand in hand with the history of innovations. The first almost always became the unwitting herald of the second.
Market experts recognize that any new product that makes it easier for users to access pornography is moving faster than others. People willing to pay for porn popularize technology. They reduce its costs.
Behind VR Adult Movie Shooting
People are biologically predisposed to the contemplation of erotic pictures. Our connection with them comes from time immemorial. Let's remember our Neanderthal ancestors. The diversity of their cave images can be described in one word: "Vulva." Scientists claim that cavemen masturbated to these drawings. The practice of depicting naked women goes back thousands of years, which becomes apparent after five minutes in an art museum.
We now like our forefathers in the era of daguerreotypes and cinematographs – instantly put a new invention at the service our desire to observe how other people have sex. At the same time, smart producers have accumulated mountains of content that could be easily repurposed for new needs: they took the film, cut it, edit it, and sell it to the porno site. But with sex in virtual reality, this is a way another story. This is a combination of content, soft, and gadgets. And quality content plays the first role.
So if you fan of such porn, just know: this is a product of really hard teamwork.

Q: How do I ensure that the user can see the whole list? I have a list in row 2 of 3 in a grid. The grid is defined as following:
<Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
    <RowDefinition Height="Auto"/>
</Grid.RowDefinitions>

My ListBox:
<ListBox Foreground="Black" x:Name="MainListBox" Margin="0,0,0,0" ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalAlignment="Center">
    <ListBox.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal" Margin="0,0,0,0">
                <TextBlock Foreground="Black" Text="{Binding Placement}" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" Width="45" />
                <TextBlock Foreground="Black" Text="{Binding Username}" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" Width="160"/>
                <TextBlock Foreground="Black" Text="{Binding Score}" Style="{StaticResource PhoneTextExtraLargeStyle}" Width="160" TextAlignment="Right" />
            </StackPanel>
        </DataTemplate>
    </ListBox.ItemTemplate>
</ListBox>

In the first row I have the title, and in the last I have a ad (taking 100px). Listbox gets populated in a WebClient DownloadComplete.
Currently my list holds 10 items, but I can only slide down to number 5,4 (I see the top of row 6).
Height is not defined in my listbox

A: you must set height of listbox. then it can scroll to every item


As part of the AdNews Annual 2018, celebrating 90 years of AdNews, we featured a range of perspectives from an assortment of brands, leaders and top marketers, to share what creativity means to them and how important it is. We also asked some to throw in a future–gazing thought or two on how advertising could shape out in the next 90 years.
Stan was founded in 2014 and has 80 staff in Australia. We hear from Stan head of brand Diana Ilinkovski.
Stan as a brand was founded on the inherent principles of being entertaining, transparent, straight–talking, reliable, premium and world–class, with a cheeky Australian edge. If Stan was to be personified, it would be someone you can trust and relate to, like a friendly neighbour. From the moment Stan came into the market with our pre–launch campaign in late 2014, every piece of creative and every consumer touchpoint has been wrapped in those brand principles.
In order to create a local market for streaming in Australia, research told us that an accessible personality was important for our brand and our creative; where previous digital distribution of content seemed overwhelmingly technical and difficult for audiences to engage with. Hence, our launch campaign, featuring internationally acclaimed star Rebel Wilson, was centred on the insight that we didn't need all the bells and whistles to communicate what Stan was, but rather show Australians what Stan has to offer in a simple and fun way. Working with long–time agency partner, Richards Rose, we have continued to build this brand identity through subsequent ad campaigns, such as 'Unicorn', the testimonial style 'I'm with Stan' and most recently 'Hungry Eyes', which was created on the platform of 'irresistible entertainment'.
Effective advertising led by strong creative is a huge focus for us at Stan, especially for our original productions where we are creating every single asset. From the moment a script is in development, our marketing, content and creative teams are developing all facets of the campaign in line with Stan's core brand principles.
In tandem with this, Stan also brings the best content from around the world back home to Australians, for which we build bespoke messaging and collateral to maximise appeal in our local market.
We are fortunate that as an entertainment brand we can push the boundaries when it comes to creative. We are selling something that appeals to everybody — pure entertainment and escapism. Our job is to help audiences find where they want to escape to.
The next phase of our advertising will focus on the emotional connections and feelings our subscribers have with our shows, and harnessing their desire to share that. That excitement to watch the next episode, feeling as though you know the characters personally, reactions to cliff–hangers — there's nothing more powerful than when consumers are hooked on a show and they just want to talk to people about it.
All of us at Stan see a future where our audiences have even more power and control over what they want to watch — and how they want to watch it — and we embrace that. As a disruptor in the traditional media industry, we know that the companies who use their creative energies to be adaptable and agile enough to meet the changing demands of audiences are the companies that will thrive in the future.


What is a Private-Label Hotel Booking Engine?
Direct booking engines are booking systems that are used for one exclusive hotel property or hotel brand. This type of system sells reservations from that hotel or hotel chain exclusively, and either connects to or acts as the in-house reservation management system. Private-label direct booking engines are branded with the hotel's branding exclusively, and makes no mention of the company that built the application.
Affiliate booking engines allow a website to sell the inventory from another brand on their website. For instance, a business travel blog might add a sidebar to their site where users can book their business travel. In private-label affiliate hotel booking engines, that sidebar would look like it was just another part of the business travel blog The business travel blog would earn a commission on each sale made through their sidebar.
Travel portal booking engines sell hotel reservations from many properties and multiple wholesale suppliers. These sites market themselves as discount travel sites where users can find great rates on hotel rooms and other travel products. Private-label travel portals are systems that are built by a travel technology company but branded by another company that is going to market the inventory.
Building a hotel booking engine is complicated. It's not enough to have an amazing interface – there is also the underlying architecture that powers search, determines rates, and secures transactions. For travel portal booking engines, there is also hotel mapping and integrating multiple suppliers' APIs. All of this back-end functionality is extremely complex and takes a lot of time to build correctly. It can take years and millions of dollars to build an adequate hotel booking engine from scratch.
However, private-label hotel booking engines usually take only a few months to launch under a new brand, saving lots of time and (therefore) money. Additionally, they usually they come with maintenance agreements which preclude the buyer from needing in-house developers.
For private-label hotel booking engines that serve as travel portal booking engines, which sell hotel rooms from multiple hotel brands and suppliers, there is also the issue of acquiring and managing inventory. Some private-label hotel booking engines provide inventory along with the hotel booking engine software, and some do not.
Each supplier has their own process for establishing a business relationship, but generally the process to acquire inventory independently involves putting down a deposit ($10,000+) and proving that the new reseller is credit worthy. Rates, commission, and markup on reservations need to be negotiated as well. The whole process can take 6 months or more to complete, and then the buyer can start integrating the supplier's API into their booking engine.
A travel portal hotel booking engine needs to include hotel aggregator technology to be able to merge inventory from multiple suppliers through the process of hotel mapping. This is a very complicated process because, even though each supplier can sell inventory from the same hotel brands, each supplier has their own pictures, contact information, descriptions, and prices for a given hotel. The duplicate information on a single hotel needs to be merged together to produce a single hotel listing on the travel portal hotel booking interface.
