This past year, Little Fish took a music class and after one of his first classes, he brought home a worksheet to sort instruments by family. I thought this would make a great sorting mat activity, which you can download here. We also expanded on this activity by watching videos of each type of instrument in use and Little Fish enjoyed this immensely. Below, I have included one video for each instrument in our sorting mat activity to get you started. Hope you enjoy!!

Steve Bruce reckons Aston Villa fans will be saying these six words in years to come
The Sheffield Wednesday boss is gearing up for a big reunion today
Gregg Evans
'He didn't do a bad job'.
That's what Steve Bruce reckons Aston Villa fans will one day be saying about his time in B6.
Supporters forced the 58-year-old out with boos and jeers during a difficult start to the season.
But the now Sheffield Wednesday boss, who is gearing up for today's reunion, believes he can look back on his time with pride.
"I think people will look back in a few years, when the rawness has gone away, and think ' he didn't do a bad job'.
"I inherited a team that had taken 17 points from the season before, one of the worst records ever in the Premier League.
"They hadn't won at home for 18 months, had to get money in, and there's only Burton, Millwall and Ipswich who spent less than we did in 2018 but we got into the play-offs.
Steve Bruce finally says something Aston Villa fans will agree with
"When people analyse it, they will see I did a difficult job under difficult circumstances, that's for sure."
Bruce had to deal with a number of problems after the play-off final.
The club was in serious danger of going into administration and planning for this season was heavily delayed.
"It would have been nice to keep Sam Johnstone and Robert Snodgrass.
"As soon as that play-off final finished, the club descended into chaos.
"We had to go to work late.
"But the players we got, they're good players.
"It was only a matter of time before they got going.
"McGinn hit the ground running in his first game if you remember,
"When you change around a total team, you need time to settle in.
"I can make as many excuses as I want, it's not me.
'I can back it up' Steve Bruce hits back at his Aston Villa critics
"But time goes against you in this game.
"We've seen up the road at West Brom, a man lose his job when they're fourth.
"It's the way it is now.
"I've had 900 games after this week and Villa is a part of that journey.
"But it's gone now."

All around the world, the business of international trade is evolving. Being the centerpiece of international trade, freight forwarders are confronted with new challenges every day. A majority of freight forwarders have continued to adapt their strategies and product solutions to cope with the competitive pressures and market forces. Their strategies are being increasingly shaped by consumer demand for real-time information, proper documentation and visibility, urging forwarders to step up their investment in technology in order not to get left behind. In this wake of technological advancements in trade, The Ghana Institute of Freight Forwarders in collaboration with Mentlo.com is unveiling the GIFFERP System; A collection of technological implementations designed to place its member companies on a higher pedestal and to enable them compete shoulder to shoulder on the international front. The GIFFERP System includes a Freight and logistics management system, to allow member companies to manage all their shipments and company operations in one place. It includes modules for Client management, Shipment management(Air, Ocean, Land), Invoicing, Real-time notifications, Project Management etc. The system also includes management tools and direct channels of communication between member companies and the association. This is to ease the burden of regulatory activities like registrations and renewals with the association while also ensuring compliance with customs regulations and other stakeholder requirements. The GIFFERP System and its unveiling offers numerous benefits to GIFF Member companies. The unveiling also means each member company will receive Login credentials to the GIFFERP System. The credentials will be sent directly to the Corporate Representatives of each member company, who will then be able to make requests through the system for their staff members to be added to their company accounts. In addition, seminars will be organized for members to enable them understand the system. Once companies have set up accounts on the system, they will be be able to immediately harness the power of cutting edge technology to streamline their processes, increasing revenue, efficiency and customer satisfaction. For more information about how to take part in the rollout, do not hesitate to reach out to the GIFF National Secretariat.

For desperate Romney, debates could be last chance
3 Oct, 2012 16:01

US President Barack Obama and rival Mitt Romney will square off on live TV for the first of three debates Wednesday night, and as the polls continue to favor the incumbent, these upcoming arguments might be the GOP challenger's last chance.
Mr. Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts and co-founder of Bain Capital, remained towards the top of the Republican Party's race for a nominee in the months leading up to his nomination in August at the GOP National Convention in Florida. Less than two months before Americans will line up at polling places to cast a ballot in the 2012 presidential election, though, Romney is quickly realizing that a bi-partisan race is a different kind of animal. Gov. Romney is currently behind President Obama in both mainstream polls and politically-divided key states alike, leaving Wednesday night's debate and the two that follow perhaps his final opportunity to earn the American people's endorsement. In a series of tracking polls conducted through the weekend by Reuters/Ipsos, President Obama leads Gov. Romney by 7-points in questions about both jobs creation and economic management, an accomplishment of especial significance given that the Republican candidate's campaign throughout 2012 has largely emphasized his career in the private sector. Elsewhere, the president leads Romney on issues relating to taxes and Social Security by the double-digits, Reuters reports. Any gaffes during Wednesday's debate could easily cost Romney his chances at recouping his losses so soon before Election Day, and analysts on both the left and right agree that the governor will have to be on his A-game starting immediately if he wants to convince Americans he can run the country."I think he's got to have a pretty convincing win," David Yepsen, director of the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University, tells Reuters. "He's had a bad few weeks and he needs to change the narrative of the campaign." Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist, suggests more Americans might be willing to open up to the president's opponent if they can see past a liberal smoke screen that has left Romney unable to penetrate left-leaning yet undecided voters. Even that number is dwindling fast, though, with an Associated Press-GfK poll released last month revealing that only 7 percent of likely voters haven't decided on a candidate."Americans who are thinking about voting for Romney need to hear from him about how he would change the country for the better," Bonjean says. "They're leaning toward the devil they know, which is President Obama. Romney has to knock it out of the park by showing the contrast between himself and Obama." During Wednesday's debate in Denver, Colorado, Romney will have 90 minutes to square off against President Obama, and the broadcast is expected to reach upwards of 60 million Americans. Undoubtedly, it will be maybe the biggest chance yet for Romney to turn around a sinking campaign. The only question is, can he? Some say it's possible, but are unsure of exactly how probable."I don't think Romney can change the entire trajectory of the campaign at the debate," Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons tells CBS. "But he can jump-start that change.""The stakes are enormous for Mitt Romney," Steve Schmidt, a Republican strategist who advised 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain, tells CBS. "He goes into the debate behind, after a difficult summer, a failed convention, and a series of self-inflicted wounds in September. The hour is growing short to make up ground and come from behind in the swing states where he needs to win if he wants to become elected president."Gov. Romney and Pres. Obama will debate twice more before Election Night: once on October 16 and again on October 22.

Nell'ambito dell'apparato respiratorio le alte vie respiratorie sono costituite dalle prime vie d'immissione dell'aria ambientale. Attraverso esse l'aria può raggiungere le basse vie e quindi gli alveoli polmonari, ove ha luogo lo "scambio alveolocapillare".

Delle alte vie respiratorie fanno parte: cavità nasale, seni paranasali, cavità orale, faringe, epiglottide e laringe.

Funzioni principali delle alte vie respiratorie
Le alte vie respiratorie hanno diverse funzioni:

Funzione anatomica
La più importante funzione delle prime vie aeree è quella di permettere un adeguato afflusso ed efflusso dell'aria, passaggi che avvengono passivamente durante le due fasi respiratorie. Durante la fase di inspirazione, il motore che permette il movimento dell'aria verso l'interno è dato da una differenza di pressione negativa tra le cavità toraciche e l'aria ambiente. Viceversa avviene durante la fase espiratoria. Per le alte vie questa è quindi una funzione passiva.

Funzione protettiva
L'aria ambientale è un miscuglio eterogeneo di diversi gas (azoto 78%, ossigeno 21%, anidride carbonica 0,03%), vapore acqueo, polveri e particolato, microrganismi, agenti virali. Di per sé quindi essa non è adatta a penetrare nell'organismo senza che vi sia una adeguata funzione di filtro e di difesa. Durante l'inspirazione risulta fondamentale proteggere l'albero respiratorio a valle, attraverso diversi sistemi che attuano un controllo delle particelle in entrata. Essi sono:
 Le ciglia e i peli a livello della cavità nasale, bloccano il particolato grossolano (particelle con diametro ≥ 10 µm) contenuto nell'aria.
 Il muco a livello della cavità nasale e dei seni paranasali. Consente la cattura e la pronta espulsione dei microrganismi, dei corpuscoli e delle polveri che siano trattenute già ad un primo livello nasale. Il muco viene secreto in quantità aumentata durante le infezioni delle prime vie aeree, soprattutto nei seni paranasali ove si accumula prima di essere espulso (casi di rinite e sinusite).
 L'epiglottide consente la netta separazione delle vie digestiva e respiratoria evitando l'inappropriata inalazione di particelle di cibo durante la deglutizione.
 Le tonsille (palatine, faringee, tubariche, linguali) attuano un'importante protezione immunitaria a livello della mucosa dell'orofaringe.

Funzione di scambio termico
Oltre ai sistemi che controllano la composizione dell'aria, esiste anche una capacità, seppur limitata, di controllo sulla temperatura dell'aria in entrata. L'aria ambientale è generalmente più fredda dei 37 °C corporei. Una parziale funzione di scambio termico si ha a livello nasale e soprattutto paranasale, ove la sottomucosa presenta numerosi capillari a stretta vicinanza con la superficie. Lo scambio di calore per fenomeno di conduzione favorisce così il riscaldamento dell'aria verso valori più ottimali per l'albero bronchiale e la superficie dell'alveolo.

Funzione di fonazione
La funzione di fonazione è resa possibile durante l'espirazione, dall'aria in uscita. La colonna d'aria che esce rapidamente proviene dall'albero bronchiale e viene convogliata verso la trachea. Da qui avviene il passaggio attraverso la laringe, la quale è da considerarsi l'organo centrale nella formazione della voce. All'interno della laringe si sita infatti una struttura a strettoia formata dall'anteposizione di due piani muscolari legamentosi coperti da lembi di mucosa. Tali legamenti e le rispettive mucose formano le corde vocali. Il passaggio della colonna d'aria attraverso la strettoia comporta la formazione di un'onda di vibrazione nella colonna d'aria stessa (come accade nelle canne di un organo). La vibrazione così ottenuta è però di scarsa energia e non sarebbe facilmente percepibile dall'orecchio umano. È quindi necessaria la presenza dei seni paranasali i quali sono ampie cavità situate all'interno delle ossa facciali, comunicanti con la cavità nasale. In queste cavità la vibrazione della colonna d'aria viene enormemente amplificata comportando la formazione del timbro della voce. Le corde vocali, e la laringe in generale, sono invece responsabili della tonalità della voce, che può variare a seguito della contrazione dei muscoli laringei che tendono o meno le corde vocali stesse ampliando o riducendo l'apertura della strettoia.

Two years on from the terrorist attack on Israelis at Bourgas Airport, justice is still pending
Written by Clive Leviev-Sawyer on July 17, 2014 in Bulgaria - Comments Off on Two years on from the terrorist attack on Israelis at Bourgas Airport, justice is still pending
On July 18 2014, it is two years to the day since a terrorist bomb attack at Bulgaria's Bourgas Airport killed five Israelis, a Bulgarian and the bearer of the bomb and left more than 30 people wounded.
It is also a year to the day since the unveiling of a monument to the victims of that terrorist outrage, found by a Bulgarian-led international investigation to have been the work of the military wing of Hezbollah.
That monument, and the declaration by the European Union of Hezbollah's military wing as a terrorist organisation, are among the few specific outcomes as the bringing to justice of those who targeted an Israeli tourist group on their way to a Bulgarian Black Sea summer holiday resort is still awaited.
Information has filtered out over the past two years, some through official announcements and the rest in local media reports that more than once have got it wrong.
Something is known about the names and faces of those that investigators found to have been involved in the terrorist attack, and that are now being – and for some time have been – sought to face court in Bulgaria.
Visiting Israel in May 2014, Plamen Oresharski, occupant of the prime minister's chair in the Bulgarian Socialist Party cabinet, said that there was progress in the investigation into the attack but did not elaborate, the Jerusalem Times reported at the time.
A few weeks earlier, unconfirmed reports in the Bulgarian media said that the bearer of the bomb had been Algerian-born, had lived for some time in Morocco and had been trained in Hezbollah camps in southern Lebanon. He is said to have met two Lebanese men alleged to have been accomplices in the July 2012 Bourgas Airport terrorist attack while studying at university in Beirut.
Other reports at the time said that one of the key links in the investigation was a money trail from Hezbollah to cash withdrawals made from ATMs in Bulgaria by one of the alleged accomplices.
Interior minister Tsvetlin Yovchev said in April that the identity of the bearer of the bomb was known, but he declined to disclose it, saying that this was within the discretion of prosecutors.
Two months earlier, Prosecutor-General Sotir Tsatsarov said that a third accomplice had been identified.
Previously, two alleged accomplices were identified, said to be in Lebanon but, respectively, holders of Australian and Canadian passports.
The alleged suspects being sought at Meliad Farah, also known as Hussein Hussein, born on November 5 1980, an Australian citizen, and Hassan El Hajj Hassan, born on March 22 1988, a Canadian citizen.
Between June 28 and July 18, they were noted in the areas of Rousse, Varna and Nessebur, Sunny Beach and Ravda, Bulgaria's Interior Ministry said.
Investigators suspect that the two checked into hotels and other places of accommodation using false identities: Brian Jeremiah James, Jacques Philippe Martin and Ralph William Rico. They also hired cars using these identities.
The individual who died in the bombing – it is not publicly known whether he detonated himself or whether the TNT he was carrying was detonated by remote control by another member of the group – is known publicly to have used false identification in the name of Jacques Philippe Martin.
In Bulgaria, the formal investigation is proceeding, with the timeframe for it extended to December 2014.
Prosecutors and investigators are, understandably, refusing to comment to the media on progress and details regarding the investigation. Nothing has been heard of what became of requests to Lebanon for the suspected accomplices to be handed over to Bulgaria for trial.
Anyone facing charges under the anti-terrorism provisions of Bulgaria's Penal Code would, if found guilty, face from 15 years to life or life without parole. In the case of the terrorist attack in Bourgas, the charges would likely relate to all six deaths – the five Israeli citizens and the Bulgarian.
In the two years that have passed since the atrocity targeted against the Israelis, there have of course been other changes – on the security front.
After the terrorist attack, security measures for Israeli tourist groups were tightened considerably.
Separately, Bulgaria has proceeded with plans to set up an anti-terrorism centre under the State Agency for National Security. A report earlier this week by daily Sega said that the State Agency for National Security will be able to collect information about all individuals departing or arriving in Bulgaria, including their first, middle and last names, origin and destination, addresses, credit card numbers and reserved seat numbers. The data will be entered into the new anti-terrorism centre under the agency.
And so this year will see its ceremonies, on July 18 and again, on July 24 – the latter date because it is the anniversary on the equivalent date on the Jewish calendar.
All that is lacking is a court date, and among the unknowns is when – and if – that date will come.


Detective Samantha Woodhouse, returns home to Essex County for the first time since graduation to deal with the unexpected death of her father. She soon discovers that her father's demise is one in a series of suspicious deaths over the last several years starting with the disappearance of fellow student Katie Owens. Battling hallucinations, insomnia and her own personal demons, Sam struggles to uncover the disturbing truth of what really happened to Katie.

Q: Retrieving Images from SQL Server in Android When I add the images to res>drawable and display it using an array to display them in listview it works fine. But how can retrieve the images from SQL Server database.
This is my MainCourse.java which is the main.java like to display the images.
package com.example.lenovo.redcabins;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;

/**
 * Created by Lenovo on 4/27/2017.
 */

public class MainCourseList extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
    private final Activity context;
    private final String[] itemname;
    private final Integer[] imgid;

    public MainCourseList(Activity context, String[] itemname, Integer[] imgid) {
        super(context, R.layout.maincourse, itemname);
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

        this.context=context;
        this.itemname=itemname;
        this.imgid=imgid;
    }

    public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
        LayoutInflater inflater=context.getLayoutInflater();
        View rowView=inflater.inflate(R.layout.maincourse, null,true);

        TextView txtTitle = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.lbl_maincourselist1);
        ImageView imageView = (ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.img_maincourse);
        TextView extratxt = (TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.lbl_maincourserlist2);

        txtTitle.setText(itemname[position]);
        imageView.setImageResource(imgid[position]);
        extratxt.setText("Description "+itemname[position]);
        return rowView;

    };

}

This is my Main Course List java which contains array adapter to display images
How can I display the images from SQL Server?
I know that I have to create a connection class and i know the way to do it. And the image type I have used to store my data is 'image'. How can I change it to array form. I'm a beginner

A: use **Model Class**
class ImageData{

private String title;
private String Des;
private Uri uriImage; //store uri here
private String Base64; store image in form of string .!

}

public class BitmapConvertorUtility {

public static String encodeToBase64(Bitmap image, Bitmap.CompressFormat compressFormat, int quality)
{
    ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOS = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    image.compress(compressFormat, quality, byteArrayOS);
    return Base64.encodeToString(byteArrayOS.toByteArray(), Base64.DEFAULT);
}

public static Bitmap decodeBase64(String input)
{
    byte[] decodedBytes = Base64.decode(input, 0);
    return BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(decodedBytes, 0, decodedBytes.length);
}

}

Bitmap image= BitmapConvertorUtility.decodeBase64(imageStr);

now You Just need only one Object list To populate your all data.!
load your all data in Object then at it to list  and pass it to adapter.!
You can Store Images By decoding to Base64, or Store Uri of Your Images in Sql Server and load them using their uri and pass them to Glide or Picasso  to load.!

A: As i have knowledg, there is no way to get all images in array from sql server to android.

Clips From Last Night: Dr. Amador on the mind of Christopher Dorner; Terry Probyn sends kind words to rescued Alabama boy Ethan and his family
As the manhunt for accused gunman Christopher Dorner continued, on Thursday evening "Piers Morgan Tonight" welcomed Dr. Xavier Amador to the program, inviting the the founder and director of the LEAP Institute to share his expert insight and perspective on the mind of an individual said to have targeted and killed three people related to the police force in California:
"It's vindication," said Amador regarding Dorner's motive behind the killings. "He accuses the LAPD of taking away his naval career, his relationship with his mother, with his sister, of ruining his life. It's psychotic thinking."
Talking live with Piers Morgan via Skype, the author and psychologist offered further analysis of the dynamic between the police force, and the man for whom they're searching:
"The LAPD are hunting him down," continued Amador. "They're his target. And the LAPD are, you know, understandably concerned not only for public's safety, but their own safety. They've been singled out."
Meanwhile, on the heels of the dramatic FBI rescue from earlier in the week, during which a six-year-old boy was rescued from a kidnapper, on Thursday the host called upon Terry Probyn to provide some context.
The mother of Jaycee Dugard, the 11-year-old who'd been abducted and held prisoner by a convicted sex offender for 18 years, Probyn spoke of the recovery facing a family who's child is a victim of abduction:
"If anything, I would just tell mom and family to take your time and, you know, protect your privacy and give yourself time to come out of the shock that I experienced," advised Probyn, referencing the mother of six-year-old Ethan, who had been held in an Alabama bunker by abductor Jimmy Lee Dykes.
Since emerging from captivity in 2009, Probyn says Dugard and the rest of her family has been recovering through the help of "family" and a "trusted source to help the healing process."
Offering one final bit of advice based upon her own experience, the guest added:
"I just say take your time. Do the healing process and rely on trusted support such as the national center."
Watch the clip and listen to the interviews as Amador takes viewers inside the mind of the LA gunman, while Probyn tells Morgan, "I share that mother's [Ethan's] joy. I share her heartache."

Christofour
I am really disgusted about the answers the former LA Police Chief gave to Piers Morgan on the firing of the now disgruntled ex-Police Officer now turned Gunman who is on the run. How could he the Police chief not remember the ex-cop.?? The gunman is so unique for his size. The Police Chief is a liar.!!! This is the abuse, racism, and discrimination all Black People go through in work places where this "country club" mentality exists or goes on. I have been through it before. It is also very wrong for the ex-cop to kill innocent people. The ex-cop should have gone on CNN or any of the News networks and presented his case. I think that would have won him sympathizers and public support. Now it is too late.
I'm not condoning Dorner's actions, but here is a food for thought.
– You got officers ruining people's lives with false charges.
– You got officers that get away with beating people.
– You got officers that mangle people do to recklessness.
– You got officers shooting people that weren't a threat.
– You got officers that kill people because of poor judgment.
A majority of them get away with it; no apology, no reprimands, no personal responsibility, and they don't have to answer to no-one.
Now, who's dangerous? Which of the two is a bigger threat to society, the few bad ones still wearing the uniform getting away with atrocities towards citizens or the one who has a vendetta against his former corrupt colleagues?
For the last few weeks Piers Morgan's primary question is why anybody would need an assault rifle with more than 10 rounds for protection. Today, as an ex cop and trained navy sharp shooter looses his mind because of what the legal system did to him, we here in Corona CA would love to have an assault rifle with a 100 round clip at our disposal should this guy come through our door. We (with our children) are on Pins and needles wondering where Dorner will show up next and you can bet we will need more than 10 rounds to bring him down if we don't get shot 1st. 30-100 rounds may be the only advantage somebody has against his skill and expertise running crazy here with a death wish and a promise to kill cops and others. This is an evolution of a society, people are evolving to take action against others with all of their anger as the system fails good hard working people. It will be many many years before humans evolve away from this kind of violence, and in the mean time, us honest, hardworking folks will need to protect ourselves from the folks that decide to "check out" of society and allow their anger to take over. As these types of crimes increase and people resort to taking action into their own hands, we need to take note on the reasons they fall onto their path. The legal system fails good people and will drive others to this type of behavior in the future....and the foreclosure and divorce rates will fuel this new evolution of a society toward violence. Any good man that had the legal system destroy him in a divorce knows the pain of the legal system stripping everything they have from them.....this Dorner situation is very similar stripping him of his life. I dont condone his actions, but I understand how 1 can feel they need to take action after the system fails them.

This situation just demonstrates how easy it is for weapons to be in the hands of those that shouldn't have them. You wouldn't need an AR, if you didn't have to worry about someone bursting through your front door loaded up with weapons.
I agree with one thing you say though – that the 'system' is obviously failing. So many people feel on these forums have absolutely no faith in law enforcement agencies to protect them, which is a very serious problem that obviously needs addressing.
Even so, I have to point out that in countries like Australia and the UK, there are people with severe untreated mental problems and drug -abuse problems, but still the homicide rate is a fraction of what it is in the U.S. And I'm not just talking gun homicide, I'm talking total homicide. And yes, Australia and the UK's population is smaller than the U.S. but even when you multiply the number to even it out with the US population, it's still a fraction the U.S. homicides.
People always say that if guns are outlawed (and yes, I know that Piers doesn't even want guns outlawed, only particular types), that only outlaws will have guns. But in societies where there are less guns, it is much harder for criminals and mentally unstable people to get hold of them.

So Piers, how do you like your new fan? Here is what he had to say about you.
Christopher Dorner on Piers Morgan
"Give Piers Morgan an indefinite resident alien and Visa card. Mr. Morgan, the problem that many American gun owners have with you and your continuous discussion of gun control is that you are not an American citizen and have an accent that is distinct and clarifies that you are a foreigner. I want you to know that I agree with you 100% on enacting stricter firearm laws."
I pray for the families of the LA Police. I hope they got their AR´s in time so they can defend themselves. I would not want take this guy on with only a pistol.
Erik, I'm sure that as a journalist, Piers knows exactly what was in Dorner's manifiesto. I wonder why so many people are behaving as if his mentioning Piers in it somehow disproves the need for stronger gun laws. It still doesn't. He's still a crazy guy with several guns. Without the guns he'd just be a crazy guy and far less dangerous.

No one talks about the "Battle of Athens" In 1946 armed citizens fought the tyranny of a corrupt local government

It's my mother's 85th birthday today. Happy Birthday! I hope you have a wonderful day.
Thanks Kate. I read out all the birthday wishes to her over the birthday dinner. She was very touched by everyone's kindness.
That is lovely. She is lucky to have her family so close for a celebration like that.
Some of us 🙂 My sister was in town from France where she lives. My other sister lives in UK and not due out for a few more weeks. I was the only of her 3 sons able to be there. And there was a friend of my parents from the UK there too. But that kept it small which was a good thing.
Yes, small is good and there is a chance for another celebration later on, too.
Like mother like son with the camera? Happy birthday to a very elegant looking lady.
Hi Sherry – she has never been obsessed by cameras, so not quite. But she used to take quite a few photos.
Happy Birthday to you mother. I hope she had a lovely day.
Thanks Yvonne – she seemed to have a very nice day. We went out and had dinner with a few family, it was a nice evening.
Happy Birthday to your mother! I see a camera near her. Does she enjoy photography like you?
Hi mithriluna – she does like to take pictures, though I don't think she takes many these days. Some of the best family photos from decades past are taken by her.
Please convey my birthday wishes to you mom!
OK! I'll be seeing her later today.
I have fond memories of meeting your folks last year.
It was a nice time – I'm glad we could do that.


More questions on urban foxes?
Check our urban fox pages.
Are urban foxes hungrier following the introduction of wheelie bins or the new rubbish collection system?
Should I feed the foxes in my garden?
Far from it: a recent study in Bristol, UK, estimated that each night there is a minimum of 150 times as much food available as is required by the foxes. Of course, they compete for this with badgers, hedgehogs, and some domestic pets, but there is still a considerable food surplus available to the foxes.
TopAre urban foxes hungrier following the introduction of wheelie bins or the new rubbish collection system?
This is a myth: foxes rarely scavenge from litter bins, and so the introduction of animal-proof bins or changes to the rubbish collection system has no significant impact on the local foxes.
TopShould I feed the foxes in my garden?
Do not try to get the foxes to take food from your hand, since they may then frighten other people by approaching them for food or, even worse, get into the habit of entering houses. Leave the food in the garden or a nearby piece of waste land and watch from a distance.
Also, do not feed too much. It will make the foxes dependent on you. Also, it will encourage the foxes to hang around rather than go off foraging and can lead to excessive damage and fouling in your neighbours' gardens. This can cause unnecessary conflict and, in extreme cases, has led to the neighbours employing a pest control company to kill the foxes you are feeding. Avoid potential problems by being considerate to your neighbours.

RuPaul inducts a new member into the Drag Race Hall Of Fame (though we all know who the true winner is)

Here's what's happening in the world of television for Thursday, March 15. All times are Eastern.
RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars (VH1, 8 p.m.): Tonight, RuPaul crowns a winner, baby, and either Shangela, Kennedy Davenport, Bebe Zahara Benet, or Trixie Mattel will win a coveted spot in the Drag Race Hall Of Fame. But the portrait that's hung to the right of Alaska Thunderfuck's will necessitate an asterisk, because its subject got there without having gone through the third season's clear frontrunner and honorary winner, BenDeLaCreme. DeLa's four-week top-two streak was impressive, but true reality-competition victory is measured in the impression you leave, and the terminally delightful queen left hers in a streak of correction fluid a few weeks ago, in a self-elimination of reputation preservation. No matter the outcome of the finale—which will see the return of the eliminated contestants, so hopefully we haven't seen the last of the real champion yet—Oliver Sava's already dubbed DeLa the winner, and that's good enough for us.

Q: Java 8 list to existing map I have a map Map<Id,Map<Obj1,Obj2>> existingMap and List<Obj1> list;
I need to add list values to map as key and new Map as value.
I tried to do something like:
existingMap.putAll(list.stream().map(x->x.getId()).collect(
Collectors.toMap(x, x -> Map<Obj1,Obj2>::new);

How should I write it? And how can use parameterized constructor against default?

A: One more way can be transformation applying collector:
List<Id> list = ...
Map<Id, Map<Obj1, Obj2>> extension = list.stream().collect(
        toMap(
                identity(),
                value -> new HashMap<Obj1, Obj2>()
        )
);

existingMap.putAll(extension);

you have to add the following imports to make it work:
import static java.util.function.Function.identity;
import static java.util.stream.Collectors.toMap;

A: Try:
list.forEach(e -> existingMap.put(e.getId(), new HashMap<>()));

Still uses functional Java 8 features, same effect.
for-loop equivalent:
for(Id id : list)
    existingMap.put(id.getId(), new HashMap<>());

Problems with your code:

*

*Map is an interface, and can't be instantiated. Use a concrete implementation like HashMap or TreeMap for example.

*Collectors#toMap accepts two Functions. If you want to use your format, you'd need:
Collectors.toMap(x -> x, HashMap::new)

Notice the lambda x -> x instead of simply x.
Edit: Of course, you can use Function.identity(), which is more verbose, instead of x -> x, but depending on your needs this may be more expressive.

FACT-BASED 'SHELTERED,' 2018's WINNER OF THE ALLIANCE/KENDEDA COMPETITION, UNFOLDS AS WWII THREATENS EUROPE AND AN AMERICAN COUPLE SCHEMES TO RESCUE JEWISH CHILDREN.
The Alliance Theatre world premiere of "Sheltered" runs March 1-25 at Actor's Express in West Midtown, 887 West Marietta St. NW. Details, tickets HERE or at 404.733.5000.
ALIX SOBLER NEVER WANTED to be seen as a political playwright. The New York writer and occasional performer is no fan of telling people what to think.
Sobler, with her script Sheltered, is the latest winner of the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition. The 15-year-old program, the only one of its kind in the nation, helps student playwrights make the transition to professional theater and gives each year's winner a fully staged world premiere.
The Alliance's annual KENDEDA WEEK, featuring staged readings of plays from four runners-up, is a highlight of the Atlanta theater season. The readings are free. SCHEDULE HERE. Space limited. Reserve seats HERE.
Sobler and director Kimberly Senior took a break from workshopping Sheltered at Washington's Kennedy Center to talk about it.
"The current political climate in our country," Sobler says, "sort of clicks into line with pre-WWII." Sheltered, a 90-minute drama based on a true story, follows a Philadelphia couple's quest to save children from the Nazis.
Perhaps the most important question it raises is this: Is separating children from loving homes, even in wartime, the best option?
That question first struck Sobler when she was reading about Syrian refugees. She then discovered the story of Eleanor and Gil Kraus, who, in 1939, navigated red tape and criticism at home to rescue 50 children, ages 4 to 14, from Vienna. They brought the children to the United States and placed them with foster families until their parents could immigrate. Many were never reunited with relatives. "Of course, I took some artistic license," Sobler says.
That sort of license seems to serve her well. In The Secret Annex (2014), for example, Anne Frank survives World War II and moves to New York to write her memoir, but the only publisher interested wants incessant rewrites. The Great Divide, which digs into a 1911 tragedy among workers at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory on the lower east side of Manhattan, won the 2015 Canadian Playwriting Competition.
Sobler and Senior, a Chicago-based director, are of like minds.
Amanda Drinkall, a Chicago actor, and John Skelley from New York play Evelyn and Leonard Kirsch, the couple based on the Krauses.
The two hadn't met before partnering on this project, but now consider themselves inseparable, a sister act birthed by Alliance artistic director Susan V. Booth, who put them together.
"We call it Jewish geography," Senior says, half-joking and referring to their common backgrounds and lifestyles.
The two share something else, as well: a belief in the power of being female.
"Women have been left off our history books," Sobler says, "because we didn't start wars or, with some exceptions, run governments.
As she's written more, her subject matter and understanding of political theater have expanded. With few exceptions, she says, her work reflects the political climate of a certain time.
It seems appropriate then, that she learned of her Kendeda win in January 2017 while traveling by bus to the Women's March in Washington, D.C. Sheltered bested 61 other entries from playwrights at the best graduate schools in the country — Carnegie Mellon, Columbia, the New School for Drama, NYU Tisch and Yale, among others.
She joins a list of Kendeda winners that includes some heavyweight names — Bekah Brunstetter (who produces and writes TV's "This Is Us"); Jiréh Breon Holder (whose 2017 Too Heavy for Your Pocket was subsequently staged off-Broadway; Mike Lew (the first to make the Alliance mainstage — two years after his Kendeda win — with 2015's Tiger Style!); and Tarell Alvin McCraney (an Academy Award winner for Moonlight and now playwriting chair at the Yale School of Drama).

Soft-iterative Magnitude Demodulation, Proc IEEE Global Communications Conference - GLOBECOM, Austin - Texas, United States, Vol. -, pp. - - -, December, 2014.
Magnitude modulation (MM) techniques applied to single carrier (SC) transmissions provide the potential for gains in power efficiency by reducing the signal's peak-to-average power ratio, allowing efficient power amplification at the transmitter's side. This paper presents an accurate analytical model to measure the intrinsic symbol error rate (SER) due to MM distortion for systems employing high-order constellations and proposes a new feedback based soft-iterative magnitude demodulation (SiMD) scheme for the receiver with proper estimation of the MM factors used in transmission in order to compensate for the MM distortion introduced at the transmitter. It is shown that this technique allows the design of MM highly power efficient SC transceivers with high spectral efficiency.

Q: Custom Control Doesn't Update in Visual Studio Designer I'm creating a custom control that lays out radio buttons (No it doesn't have to be radio buttons.  I'm just trying to learn how to do this so I can make some more complex stuff down the road that may contain multiple lists of controls) which are added through the Items property (similar to some other controls).
I can build the project, drag this onto a form from the component panel and add radio buttons via the Items property. Unfortunately this is not updated in designer unless you either:

*

*Rebuild the project 2-3 times

*Close and reopen the form in designer

At first I had the logic that puts these on the form contained in the constructor after Initialize but that wasn't working so I moved to to Form_Load.
What am I missing?  The above options are just short term workarounds, not solutions.

            this.ResumeLayout(false);

        }

        #endregion

    }
}

A: You should't use the Load event or the constructor, because when you add the control with the designer tool an instance of the UserControl is created and the Load event is fired. In your case when this happens _item is still empty. Another issue is that there are some problems serializing a list, so I'd use an array:
public partial class RBLTest : UserControl {
    private RadioButton[] _items;

    private int leftSpacing = 100;
    private int topSpacing = 25;

    public RBLTest( ) {
        InitializeComponent( );
    }

    [DesignerSerializationVisibility( DesignerSerializationVisibility.Content )]
    public RadioButton[] Items {
        get {
            return _items;
        }
        set {
            _items = value;

            int curLeftPos = 0;
            int curTopPos = 0;
            foreach ( RadioButton rb in _items ) {
                rb.Location = new Point( curLeftPos, curTopPos );
                rb.Size = new Size( 85, 17 );

                curLeftPos += leftSpacing;

                if ( curLeftPos > this.Width ) {
                    curLeftPos = 0;
                    curTopPos += topSpacing;
                }

                this.Controls.Add( rb );
            }
        }
    }
}

The result in the Form Designer:

A: The reason is that you are adding controls to the ControlsCollection only in the Load event. Here is a tutorial on creating container controls in WinForms that I googled:

A prototype of the Kinetoscope was demonstrated to a conference of the National Federation of Women's Clubs visiting the Edison studio on 20 May 1891, with the quick demo film Dickson Greeting, resulting in a lot press coverage. The device was first publicly demonstrated at the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences on 9 May 1894.
A meeting with Muybridge for a possible collaboration, in February 1888, seems to have triggered the motion. Initially, experiments centered on an apparatus that would have 42,000 microscopic pinhole images on a celluloid sheet wrapped round a cylinder, just like phonograph cylinders, to be viewed via a magnifying lens on the finish of a conical tube. This concept was deserted by the tip of 1889 and a system based mostly on Anschütz's rotating disc Electrotachyscope was investigated for a short time. After Edison had visited Étienne-Jules Marey, additional experiments focused on 3/4 inch strips, very similar to Marey was utilizing in his chronophotography cameras on the time. The Edison company added sprocket holes, presumably impressed by Reynaud's Théâtre Optique.
Several movement picture pioneers found the probabilities to report and current their chronophotographic work on rolls of movie. Émile Reynaud seems to have been the first to current motion footage by way of the projection of long strips of clear photographs.
Max and Emil Skladanowsky screened short movement photos with their "Bioscop", a flickerfree duplex construction, starting as part of a preferred selection program on the Berlin Wintergarten theatre from 1 to 31 November 1895. On 21 december, their movies have been screened as a single occasion in Hamburg.
The colour growth was aided by the breakup of Technicolor's close to-monopoly on the medium. The final stand of black-and-white films made by or launched through the most important Hollywood studios got here within the mid-Nineteen Sixties, after which using colour movie for all productions was effectively obligatory and exceptions had been only not often and grudgingly made. Chronochrome's colour high quality was spectacular, as surviving specimens attest, and because the three frames had been uncovered and projected simultaneously, Kinemacolor's shade bombardment and colour fringes around shifting objects were avoided.
The Personal History Of David Copperfield Ratings & Reviews Explanation
Television, video and video games are carefully associated applied sciences, but are traditionally seen as completely different media. Historically, they were typically interpreted as a threat to the movie business that have been countered with improvements in movie theatre screenings, similar to colour, widescreen formats and 3D.
Per the production code these homosexual villains must be punished by the regulation in order to coincide with the code's rule stating that movies could not place crime above regulation.
The production code not solely affected what was minimize from films containing homosexual characters, but additionally typically removed them completely.
An example of the enforcement of the production code is the character Joel Cairo within the 1941 movie The Maltese Falcon.
In the unique novel the character is clearly homosexual, although in the movie his homosexuality is made imprecise.
Such photographic strips only became commercially obtainable several years later and Donisthorpe seems to have been unable to provide motion pictures at this stage. In January 1833, Joseph Plateau, who had been engaged on similar experiments for years, was inspired by Faraday's new enter and revealed a letter about his recently found variation with transferring figures – later known as the Fantascope or Phénakisticope. The illustrated example of a pirouetting dancer demonstrated that this weren't just images transferring around that changed the apertures in Faraday's experiment, but how the pictures might additionally seem to perform their actions in one place. This fast intermittent presentation of images of successive phases of an action would supply the basis for a lot of later motion image applied sciences (together with cinematography). However, the probabilities of the Fantascope were restricted to the loops of pictures that could be drawn or printed on a cardboard circle.
The censorship code steadily became liberalized during the Fifties and 1960s, till it was replaced by the current classification system established by the Motion Picture Association of America in 1968. Digital cinematography, the process of capturing movie pictures utilizing digital image sensors quite than via film inventory, has largely replaced analog film know-how. As digital technology has improved in recent years, this apply has turn into dominant. Since the mid 2010s many of the motion pictures internationally are captured in addition to distributed digitally. During late 1927, Warners launched The Jazz Singer, which was principally silent however contained what is usually regarded as the first synchronized dialogue (and singing) in a characteristic film.
The digital camera would have a mechanism to move photographic plates one after the other previous a lens and shutter to be uncovered for the necessary time and then dropped or carried into a receiver. The recorded images could be printed at equal distances apart on a strip of paper. The strip was to be wound between cylinders and carried past the eye of the observer, with a stroboscopic system to show each image momentarily.
When they arrived in Paris, they caught the second screening of the Lumière Cinématographe on 29 december 1895 and consequently the booked Bioskop screenings at the Folies Bergère for january 1896 have been cancelled. The brothers took their Bioscop on tour all through Germany, The Netherlands and Scandinavia, however they struggled financially and give up the Bioscop screenings in 1897. Max Skladanowsky continued with related enterprises, like sales of flip books and amateur cameras. Soon after he launched his phonograph in 1877, Thomas Alva Edison was confronted with ideas to mix it with moving photographs. He by no means showed a lot interest, however eventually he registered a caveat for "an instrument which does for the Eye what the phonograph does for the Ear" in October 1888.
Plateau advised in a letter to Faraday that the principle may discover modified applications in, for instance, phantasmagoria. The term "photoplay", generally used within the early days of cinema, displays the concept of motion photos as filmed plays. Technologies used for the theatre, such as stage lighting and all types of special results have been automatically adopted for use in front of cameras.
However, as a result of the digicam's three lenses couldn't all photograph the scene from exactly the identical viewpoint, topics that had been too near the camera would exhibit color fringes if the registration of the three projected images was optimized for the background of the scene, and vice versa. A methodology of notching the prints to set off automated adjustment of the projection optics was invented, however expert supervision of the presentation was nonetheless a requisite. The movies were seldom screened outdoors of Gaumont's personal cinemas and the system soon fell into disuse.
1910s: Early Movie Industry
The early sound-on-disc processes such as Vitaphone have been quickly superseded by sound-on-film methods similar to Fox Movietone, DeForest Phonofilm, and RCA Photophone. The development satisfied the largely reluctant industrialists that "speaking footage", or "talkies", had been the long run. A lot of makes an attempt had been made before the success of The Jazz Singer, that can be seen in the List of movie sound systems. The proliferation of tv in the early Nineteen Fifties contributed to a heavy mid-century push for shade throughout the film business.

As its name suggests, Volusia Countys city of Edgewater features a gorgeous waterfront location just south of New Smyrna Beach near the Indian River. Similar to neighboring cities like Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet, Edgewater relies heavily on tourism. Despite this, Edgewater real estate is surprisingly affordable and varied, offering single family homes, gorgeous condos, vacant land and plenty of commercial real estate. Professionals often choose Edgewater because of its convenient proximity to Interstate 95.

Q: Grep for next blank line after line number I have a large file which contains tables of different tab separated data. The different tables are separated by a blank line.
I have the line number of the start of a particular table and I need to retrieve the whole table.
How can I use grep (or something similar) to get the line number of the next blank line after a specific line number?

A: Use sed for this, this should do the trick:
sed -n '1,/^\s*$/p' file

Just replace the first number before the comma, in this case 1 with the line number, demo to print each table from a given line number:
$ cat file
one
two
three

five
six
seven

nine
ten
eleven

$ sed -n '1,/^\s*$/p' file
one
two
three

$ sed -n '5,/^\s*$/p' file
five
six
seven

$ sed -n '9,/^\s*$/p' file
nine
ten
eleven

Using the -n option to turn of default printing of every line and the p flag sed prints from the line number to the first line that matches the regexp where:
^     # Matches the start of the line
\s*   # Matches zero or more whitespace characters
$     # Matches the end of the line

Using the format sed -n 'A,Bp' where A and B can be either lines numbers or regular expression you can print subsections of files easily.
To print just the line number of the next blank line with sed do:
$ sed -n '1,/^\s*$/{=}' file | tail -1
4

$ sed -n '5,/^\s*$/{=}' file | tail -1
8

$ sed -n '9,/^\s*$/{=}' file | tail -1
12

Or just printing where all the blanks lines are
$ sed -n '/^\s*$/{=}' file
4
8
12

Getting the next blank line number with awk doesn't require using tail:
$ awk 'NR>=1 && /^\s*$/{print NR;exit}' file
4

$ awk 'NR>=5 && /^\s*$/{print NR;exit}' file
8

$ awk 'NR>=9 && /^\s*$/{print NR;exit}' file
12

$ awk '/^\s*$/{print NR}' file
4
8
12

If it makes it clearer for you, you can pass a variable in with awk using -v
$ awk -v start=1 'NR>=start && /^\s*$/{print NR;exit}' file
4

$ awk -v start=5 'NR>=start && /^\s*$/{print NR;exit}' file
8

$ awk -v start=9 'NR>=start && /^\s*$/{print NR;exit}' file
12

A: Perl makes this simple. To extract all the lines from line 31 to the next blank line in some_file:
$ perl -wne 'print if 31 .. /^$/' some_file

A: one way with awk:
awk -vs=$sta '{ok=NR>=s}ok&&!$0{exit;}ok&&$0'

$sta is a variable, which stores the start line number. if we test with sudo_O 's input example with start line nr=5, it looks like:
kent$  sta=5

kent$  echo "1
2
3

5
6
7

9
10
11"|awk -vs=$sta '{ok=NR>=s}ok&&!$0{exit;}ok&&$0'
5
6
7

note that sed's address will include the boundary ,which means, the empty line after the target table will also be printed out. This awk one-liner won't print it. well it depends on what you want in output.
EDIT in case you just want to get the next empty line number
awk -vs=$sta 'NR>=s&&!$0{print NR;exit;}' file

A: Here in the below command 5 is your known line number of the table
perl -lne 'exit if(/^$/ && $.>5);if($.>=5){print}' your_file
