Ballmer Sells $1.3 Billion of Microsoft Stock. Does He know Something We Don't?
By Preston Gralla
Steve Ballmer has sold more than 49 million shares of Microsoft stock worth $1.3 billion in the past several days, and plans to sell a total of 75 million shares by year's end. Does he know something we don't?
Reuters reports that the sale cuts his stake in Microsoft by about 12 percent, and that if he sold a total of 75 million by year's end, it would mean a reduction of 18 percent.
To squash rumors that the sale has anything to do with Ballmer leaving Microsoft, he released a statement which said:
"Even though this is a personal financial matter, I want to be clear about this to avoid any confusion. I am excited about our new products and the potential for our technology to change people's lives, and I remain fully committed to Microsoft and its success."
But when you're head of a company whose stock price has been stagnant for a decade, and there have been rumblings from those who want you to leave, it's inevitable that people will wonder about the timing of the sale.
Ballmer hasn't sold Microsoft stock in seven years, and the sale came just days before the launch of Windows Phone 7, which could be a make-or-break product launch. The future is clearly mobile, and given the success of both the iPhone and Android phones, this may be Microsoft's last chance in that market.
Like it or not, when a company CEO sells such a substantial amount of stock just before one of the most important product launches in the company's recent history, people will wonder whether there's a link between the two.
It's exceedingly unlikely that there's a direct link, though. And Ballmer is one of the most competitive people in the business world, so it's also unlikely that the sale means he's planning on leaving the company any time soon.
Still, the timing of the sale isn't good --- news about it is hitting the same day as the Windows Phone 7 product launch, and will compete for headlines. And it's inevitable that people will make a connection between the two events.
As for me, I don't expect the sale means Ballmer is leaving. It's just another example of his tone-deafness when it comes to public relations.


When I read a piece of literature that has won the Pulitzer Prize, I am hesitant to jump right in and give it the accolades every other publication seems to be giving it. I read The Goldfinch with this trepidation. My initial reaction was that this book is nearly 800 pages long and I will venture to say that the first 200 pages seemed slow; but as you read on, you'll understand why. Donna Tartt's character development is impeccable. Looking back, every word and seemingly-drawn-out conversations between characters were necessary to the story.
The book is well-written and while reading it, I understand why Tartt won the Pulitzer for this novel: she weaves drama, suspense, tension and philosophy all together in one beautiful, colorful tapestry. Tartt opens up the dialogue for meaningful conversations about fate, morality, art, love, and identity. Some of the paradoxes she offers (i.e. sometimes, you have to lose to win) remind of the Biblical paradoxes of Jesus ("the first shall be last and the last shall be first" or "whoever finds his life will lose it and whoever loses his life will find it" amongst a host of others). She even, bravely, poses the idea that the heart isn't trustworthy: "When in doubt—what do we do?—Be yourself. Follow your heart. But what if one happens to be of a heart that cannot be trusted?" (761). In a culture that is always preaching to "follow your heart", Tartt's question seem to pose a different sermon, a counter-cultural one.
Any fan of Russian Literature (Dostoevsky, especially) will get a kick out of the references that allude to Dostoevsky's The Idiot (or the New Testament of The Holy Bible, if you should venture to say). Tartt is justified in doing so because The Idiot speaks about a man who is so upright that it boggles the reader to know that despite the man's righteousness, he is still beaten, still wrongfully accused, tried, and imprisoned. Tartt then asks, "Can't good come around sometimes through some strange back doors?" (758).
Life is short. Fate is cruel, but not random.
Random is definitely not utilized in this novel. There are clever and intelligent twists and turns in these pages that assuage the anxiety left to me by former thriller novels that disappointed me as of late. In short, this is a great read. I suggest you read it carefully and although it is tempting to race through it because the book is so daunting in size, read it deliberately. I think you will really enjoy it.

I am using xampp local host mysql and executing queries in python using mysql connector.
Am i entering some character in the table name which is not allowed?
I read somewhere that enclosing table name in backticks solves that problem. But I get the same error even after doing that.
Edit: Okay, apparently you can't have a table name of more than 64 characters which seems to be the problem in my case. Is there a workaround for this?

A: Try this :-
create table 'DDB_CHANGE_via_mailbox_iocb_modifier_0x1_device_id_0x2_state_0x23_tran_up_error_0x0_flags_0x884e0000' (

Nutrition Truth: We've Swallowed Lies!
This is Easter week and I am spending the time preparing to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ with my family, so I'll make this post short and sweet! But I wanted to wish you a truly wonderful and blessed holiday.
I just wanted to share this brief 2 minute trailer below for the movie Fed Up which reveals how the food industry and the government have been misleading and confusing the public, which has resulted in the obesity epidemic and increases in chronic illnesses rampant in our country.
If you thought the problem was all with you – no willpower, not exercising enough – this will open your eyes to a truth you may not have been aware of.
What are your thoughts about what this clip shares about our food supply?
Spring has sprung! Perfect time for a 14-day spring cleaning diet reboot!

YES – I love the Michael Polan quote in the trailer, "the government is subsidizing the obesity epidemic." I always tell my husband, if the government really cared about the obesity epidemic, they'd start cutting corn and sugar subsidies. The price of all the garbage lining our grocery store shelves would increase. Intuitive farmers would start growing real food which would drive down the price of produce and increase the nutrition by decreasing the time between farm to table. Why did we just eat brussel sprouts from Mexico when they're in season in much of the US? Thank you for sharing this.
Yes Holly – and you said it well!!!


If you have noticed that Every day you getting a lot of emails from banks by their advertising agency regards to apply for Credit cards. you just need to open that email and click 'apply'. After that, you will get a new page in your Internet browser. You will need to fill all your details over the page and submit. You will automatically get a call from Bank and you need to verify over the call. Bank will send bank representative to collect all the documents. Bank will verify all the details at their end and check your eligibility If you are found eligible for the applied credit card, they will process it further. Within next few days, you will get your credit card at your address.
We've been using debit cards of multiple banks for several years now. But sometimes we keep encountering friends those are using credit cards of the same banks. Obtaining a credit card isn't that tough if you already have a bank account in the same bank. It gets even easier if you already have a salary account in a bank. If not, you need to maintain a savings balance in your account, this contributes to better credit history. There is no other secret for why your friends already own a credit card in the same bank as yours.
We frequently visit ATMs these days. Most of us have never paid attention to all the options we get on the ATM screen. One such option you see there is 'Apply for a credit card'. Next time once you visit an ATM, you must check that option & try putting a new credit card request. Rest would be taken care by the bank employees.
Also, you can apply for a credit card online using your net banking interface. Every bank has a 'service request' section. There you can make various requests with just click of a button. Not to ignore, you can make the same requests from your phone in the mobile banking application.
3: Call your bank customer care number and ask them to enroll you.
One of the simplest ways to get enrolled for the credit card is, contacting bank customer service directly. This option is very helpful if you find difficulty making requests online or using your ATM card.
You'd find customer service very helpful in processing your request. If you validate all the required criteria, it won't be a surprise to hold a credit card within a week's time.


An arrest can stay on your record even if you are not convicted of the crime. Through a Texas expunction, however, you may be able to ask the court to clear your criminal record of all files related to your arrest.
Criminal expunction attorney Patrick L. Hancock has helped many clients clear their records through the expunction process. With more than 25 years of experience achieving positive results for defendants in San Antonio and surrounding counties, Patrick Hancock understands what it takes to get an expunction.
Do you want to remove a criminal arrest from your record? Turn to a defense attorney who has been selected for inclusion on numerous top criminal defense lawyer lists, including Texas Super Lawyers (2007-2013) and The Best Lawyers in America (2006-2014). Contact the Law Offices of Patrick L. Hancock by calling 210-223-8844 or sending an email to learn more about criminal expunction.
When Can You Expunge a Criminal Record in Texas?
Prosecutors can also recommend expungement in certain rare circumstances.
What Are the Benefits to Texas Expunction?
You see the question everywhere, especially on job applications and rental applications: "Have you been arrested?" A "yes" answer can cost you a job, an apartment, even a school loan.
Today, you may be required, by law, to answer "yes" to that question, even if you were never convicted of your crime or you have been pardoned. If you get your record expunged, however, Texas law allows you to deny the arrest and answer "no."

The IRS has issued Notice 2015-54 where the agency announced it was going to be issuing regulations under IRC §721(c) that would override the general non-recognition rules of IRC §721 in a situation where a U.S. partner transfers property to certain partnerships with foreign partners. As well, the IRS will issue related regulations under IRC §482 to grant the IRS additional authority in such situations to revise the income recognition.
Generally a taxpayer who contributes property to a partnership under IRC §721 does not recognize income on that contribution. However, under §704(c)(1)(A) the partnership must allocate items to take into account the difference between the fair value and basis at the time of contribution.
Under the regulations governing IRC §704(c) a partnership is allowed to use a reasonable method to take into account such differences. Reg. §1.704-3 defines three methods that are generally reasonable. The nature of the rules are such that under two of the three methods (the traditional method and the traditional method with curative allocations) it is possible that not the entire difference (or potentially any of the difference) will be taken into account due to the effect of the ceiling rule that limits such corrections for these methods. Described roughly, the ceiling rule requires the use of an item of income or expense actually recognized on the partnership return to make these allocations.
However, the regulations allow, but do not mandate, the use of a remedial allocation method under Reg. §1.704-3(b)(1) which allows the partnership to make remedial allocations to take into account the ceiling rule, creating offsetting allocations to other partners, even though such items do not exist on the underlying return (only the event triggering recognition exists on the return). Thus, using this method, the difference will be taken into account simply by the creation of a correcting adjustment with an offsetting allocation to other partners.
The notice indicates that the IRS has become aware that some taxpayers are entering into partnerships with related foreign partners where, by use of methods other than the remedial allocation method, the gain inherent in the property when contributed ends up being allocated to the foreign partner. They may also use valuation methods for the assets that are inconsistent with fair market value methods.
The Secretary may provide by regulations that subsection (a) shall not apply to gain realized on the transfer of property to a partnership if such gain, when recognized, will be includible in the gross income of a person other than a United States person.
The proposed regulations will provide that the gain nonrecognition rules of §721(a) will not apply with regard to a transfer of property covered by these regulations (referred to as §721(c) property) is transferred to a partnership meeting the requirements to be covered (referred to as a §721(c) partnership) unless the "Gain Deferral Method" described in these regulations is used for the §721(c) property.
For these purposes, "related" is determined by reference to the rules under IRC §§267(b) or 707(b)(1).
The Section 721(c) Partnership adopts the remedial allocation method described in § 1.704-3(d) for Built-in Gain with respect to all Section 721(c) Property contributed to the Section 721(c) Partnership pursuant to the same plan by a U.S. Transferor and all other U.S. Transferors that are Related Persons.
During any taxable year in which there is remaining Built-In Gain with respect to an item of Section 721(c) Property, the Section 721(c) Partnership allocates all items of section 704(b) income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to that Section 721(c) Property in the same proportion (for example, if income with respect to an item of Section 721(c) Property is allocated 60 percent to the U.S Transferor and 40 percent to a Related Foreign Person in a taxable year, then gain, deduction, and loss with respect to that Section 721(c) Property must also be allocated 60 percent to the U.S. Transferor and 40 percent to the Related Foreign Person).
The reporting requirements described in section 4.06 of the notice are satisfied. The IRS intends to modify Schedule O, Transfer of Property to a Foreign Partnership, of Form 8865 (Return of U.S. Persons With Respect to Certain Foreign Partnerships), or its instructions, for taxable years beginning in 2015 to require supplemental information for contributions of Section 721(c) Property to Section 721(c) Partnerships.
The Gain Deferral Method is adopted for all Section 721(c) Property subsequently contributed to the Section 721(c) Partnership by the U.S. Transferor and all other U.S. Transferors that are Related Persons until the earlier of: (i) the date that no Built-in Gain remains with respect to any Section 721(c) Property to which the Gain Deferral Method first applied; or (ii) the date that is 60 months after the date of the initial contribution of Section 721(c) Property to which the Gain Deferral Method first applied.
A transfer to a domestic corporation is a transaction to which either §§351(a) or 381(a) applies.
The IRS also plans to issue regulations that will require such partnerships to extend the statute of limitations for all items related to §721(c) property to the eighth full year following the taxable year of the contribution.
The Notice goes on to describe potential revisions in other regulations to address these transactions.
The regulations will apply to transfers occurring on or after August 6, 2015, as well transfers occurring before that date resulting from check the box elections filed on or after August 6, 2015.


Renault says it might have to be as patient in trying to establish electric cars on the market as Toyota was over the introduction of hybrids.
Renault has 50% of the European electric vehicle market, although there is currently only a handful of competitors and the company's cumulative EV sales since introducing the first of four models 18 months ago are still only 29,000.
But Foucher believes EVs will start to gain more credibility this autumn when the Germans enter the market through BMW and Volkswagen and Ford also joins the fray.
She is also encouraged by the early success of the Zoe, which has notched up 6,000 sales in its first three months on the market – almost two-thirds of them in France – and is now available in 11 countries.
Zoe brings down the cost of EV ownership because it has been designed to use the same components as the new Clio where possible, and to go down the same production line at the Flins factory to the west of Paris.
In several countries there are also sizeable government handouts to encourage take-up. France offers buyers €7,000, while in the UK there is a £5,000 grant which brings the start point of the range down to £13,995. The Scandinavian countries are also helping to boost EV sales.

Q: For Each Element in Two Lists This is my code:
List<string> l1 = new List<string> { "a", "b", "c" };
List<string> l2 = new List<string> { "x", "y", "z" };
foreach (var item in l1)
{
    item = MyFunction(item);
}
foreach (var item in l1)
{
    item = MyFunction(item);
}

Is there a way to iterate both the Lists in a single foreach statement ?

A: Assuming the type of the List objects are the same you can use Concat.
foreach (var item in l1.Concat(l2))
{
    item = MyFunction(item);
}

A: You could use the Concat() function:
foreach(var item in l1.Concat(l2))
   item = MyFunction(item);

Be aware that reassigning the counter variable of an Enumerable-based loop can cause exceptions relating to changing the underlying IEnumerable.

A: Maybe something like this:
var mergedList = 11.Union(l2).ToList();
foreach (var item in mergedList)
{
    item = MyFunction(item);
}

The Union removes any duplicates. The Concat() method does not. So Union might be preferrable. It depends on the composition of the lists.

Have a problem opening a .SDLPROJ file? We collect information about file formats and can explain what SDLPROJ files are. Additionally we recommend software suitable for opening or converting such files.
What is the .SDLPROJ file type?
The filename extension .sdlproj represents the SDL Trados Studio Project (.sdlproj) file type that belongs to SDL Trados Studio (formerly, Trados by Trados GmbH), a world-class commercial CAT (Computer-Aided Translation) solution by SDL. Intended for professional translators, SDL Trados Studio provides a wealth of translator's tools and uses several XML-based formats of its own to handle translation data, projects included.
An .sdlproj file is an SDL Trados Studio translation project. It is a single XML document that binds together source and target languages, document segments, translation memories, metadata, and more. The SDLPROJ file does not stand alone, but comes with a set of associated folders and files in them that hold the actual project's data. Once an .sdlproj file is opened, the associated project is loaded in SDL Trados Studio and added to the project list, allowing further actions such as importing return packages (.sdlrpx). When SDL Trados Studio is forcibly shutdown, or if it encounters runtime faults while writing to an .sdlproj project file, the file often becomes corrupted and cannot subsequently be opened. In such cases, the project has to be re-created. Like other SDL Trados Studio-specific file types, the .sdlproj file type gets pre-associated with this software, once it is installed.

Special legislative session opens: A budget deal? Hardly
By Rob Mackay
OLYMPIA -- Monday was the first day of the Special Session in Olympia. But it doesn't appear that lawmakers are any closer to a deal on the state budget than they were just a few weeks ago when the regular sessions ended. The House and Senate remain about $1 billion apart.
"Now is the time for people to step up to the plate," Gov. Jay Inslee said at an afternoon news conference. "This is a new day and that requires a whole new order of consensus-building, which means being open to other people's arguments."
By law, the Special Session lasts up to 30 days, and based on the events of the first day, it appears they may take the full month. Lawmakers seem to be waiting for leaders to strike a deal. In the meantime, there really isn't much for them to do.
Inslee, of course, has sided with the House Democrats on raising more tax revenue to reduce the budget deficit. Inslee acknowledged, with some frustration, that little progress was made in the last few weeks.
The governor still insists that raising nearly $1 billion in new revenue is the best approach for adding money to public schools, something that's been mandated by the state Supreme Court.
"You just have to make a decision," Inslee said. "Is it more for important for a kid to get a degree in engineering today, or is it important for this particular industry to enjoy this particular tax break. That's just a value choice."
Leaders of the state Senate reiterated their position Monday -- that now is a bad time to raise taxes. They argue savings can be found by changing the way state government is run.
"We need to reform our way in Washington," said Sen. Rodney Tom, D-Medina. "You look unemployment insurance, worker's comp, we're simply not competitive with the rest of the country."
One small sign that progress might be happening is how the sides reacted Monday when they were asked whether they would be willing to compromise, to give up anything. The governor and Senate leaders both say they wouldn't negotiate in public. That's a change from just a few weeks ago, and suggests less posturing and more respect for close-door negotiating.

This semester, students from D. B. Dowd's course, Special Topics in Visual Culture: The Illustrated Periodical, visited the Dowd Modern Graphic History Library to engage with a variety of materials from various collections. Throughout the semester, the materials were used in lectures and discussions and featured in student presentations.
The research for the class was conducted at MGHL, where each student viewed specific items that related to their research. The topics were varied; we pulled everything from romance comics to children's magazines. The research was used to write an essay, which will be published on the MGHL blog in the coming weeks.
Class viewing of various original pieces published in popular periodicals from the Al Parker Collection, Henry Raleigh Collection, and the Walt Reed Illustration Archive.
An original piece from the Al Parker Collection and tear sheets from the Charles Craver Collection.

Scrolls are the decorative end of a rafter or beam. Sometimes you'll see them on curved braces as well. Scrolls are a nice way to add a decorative element to an entryway or an overhang as seen in examples of Scrolls Vermont Timber Works has fabricated in the past.
Finials are decorative wood ends that hang down from a Timber Truss. Finials come in a variety of common shapes including round, acorn, and square. Finials can also be highly customizable. Finials are a decorative element that can be added to Timber Trusses to add another element of style to a space, like a church or a lodge.
Corbels are decorative pieces of wood that help hold up a Truss. They can often be seen in churches as well as homes and can range from intricate and elaborate carvings to simpler designs.

The French Lieutenant's Woman (1981)
Director: Karel Reisz
Stars: Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons
I haven't read the source novel by John Fowles but I understand it's a particularly complex work, the sort of thing that leads people to suggest that it's not filmable. Usually what that really means is that it's not filmable by most. Other unfilmable books have actually come out pretty well on screen when the right director signs up: Terry Gilliam for Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, David Cronenberg for The Naked Lunch or even Zack Snyder for Watchmen. None of these are perfect but they're highly impressive and prompt the viewer to go find the original.
Here the director is Karel Reisz, Czech born but one of those angry young men of British cinema in the fifties, best known as a director for Saturday Night and Sunday Morning and as a producer of This Sporting Life. The writer is no less a name than Harold Pinter, a playwright whose work garnered him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005. With that in hand, I'm sure he's a little less fussed about not landing an Academy Award. This adaptation proved to be his first of two nominations, the second coming two years later for the semi-autobiographical Betrayal.
Beyond The French Lieutenant's Woman being our film, it's also a film within our film and these two levels tell pretty much the same story. In the film within a film, we're in Victorian England, watching Charles Henry Smithson. He's a scientist from London, a paleontologist who has come to Dorset to study rocks, but who in doing so has fallen in love with a young lady called Ernestina Freeman. Ernestina is a very proper young lady who follows all the social dictates of the day and is transparently decent.
Enter the French lieutenant's woman of the title, a mysterious young woman called Sarah Woodruff who rebels against such transparent decency. She captures Smithson's attention in no uncertain manner and draws him into her story, something she has refused to let anyone else do. She's an intelligent and educated woman, but one eaten up by a misery that she has become comfortable with, remaining by the Lyme coast watching for her lover who she knows will never return. Her fellow townsfolk look down on her as a whore or a tragedy, but really she's the subject of a mental illness that she holds dear and refuses to even attempt to cure.
And so this mild costume drama continually slips into a deliciously melancholy gothic tale. Out go the bitter and twisted old ladies of respectability, such as Mrs Poulteney, definitively portrayed by Patience Collier, who hires Sarah as a companion; and in their stead come the smothering gothic trifecta of destiny, darkness and lunacy. Out go the staid and proper mores and manners, where the appearance of decency rules everything; and in come passions roiling beyond anyone's control. The whole film palpably changes pace and texture as we switch between these two competing styles.
And there's yet a third style to compete, because thus far I've only talked about the film within a film. In the modern day we see Mike and Anna, the actors who play Charles and Sarah, run through a story with notable similarities to that of the characters they play. Mike is married rather than engaged, with kids to boot, and Anna has herself a Frenchman of her own, named David. Mike and Anna are in bed together the first time we see them, but the implication is that the connection is merely one of casual carnality. However the longer the film goes on, the more it turns into obsession that grows in parallel to the obsession of the characters they play.
This is known as a Meryl Streep film, hardly surprising as she plays the title character but for deeper reasons too. This was still early in her career and it helped to cement her stature as the leading actress of the day. Her previous film, Kramer vs Kramer two years earlier, had landed her an Academy Award, but only for a supporting role. Here she's very much a lead and the focus of the film, in a dual role no less, in which she has to switch between a Victorian Englishwoman and a modern American actress. She does a great job and the attention lavished on her is hardly surprising.
She wasn't the only point of attention, plenty rightly being given to director Karel Reisz, writer Harold Pinter, cinematographer Freddie Francis and a whole slew of people involved with the sets and the costumes. However Jeremy Irons seems to have been rather unfairly overlooked, with only a single nomination at the BAFTAs. Inevitably, Meryl Streep won. I felt Irons gave a stunning performance also, playing a double role of his own, and while Streep was only appearing in her sixth film, Irons was only appearing in his second.
At the end of the day, though, such a complex story has to be evaluated on its own merits, beyond the way it was acted or directed or lavishly built. And I'm intrigued enough here to want to read the book to find out what the original point was. This was a novel, by John Fowles, hardly a minor name himself, but a work of literature not of cinema. What I read into the story as portrayed on screen was not just a tale of obsession but a tale of artistry digging too deeply into role. As is made very clear by the last word of the film, we watch an actor becoming his character and that can be very dangerous indeed.
Charles isn't even a true method actor, but this feels like a story about the danger of being a method actor. I can't help but remember an odd one out on Have I Got News for You where Angus Deayton talks about how Robert de Niro spent three months working as a taxi driver to prepare for his role in the film of that name, and how it was a good thing he wasn't playing Driller Killer. That was a joke, of course, but it's the same point that The French Lieutenant's Woman seems to be making. It's a valid one and I wonder how the book raised it.

You didn't mention another star of the film - Lyme Regis itself. A place of longing, memory and sadness, Lyme Regis is Dorset's crown jewel.

Yep, it does look good. I spent a couple of holidays in Devon but I'm not sure I've ever stopped in Dorset. I kept thinking I recognised locations but I really didn't until the Windermere scenes at the end, a long way away from Lyme Regis.

When Catherine Masters, one of the oldest women in the country, noticed that the Queen was wearing the same yellow dress in the last five of the nine cards, she wrote to complain to Buckingham Palace.
Neither she or staff at the Grange Care Centre in Stanford in the Vale in Oxfordshire thought much more of it until a telephone call came from St James's Palace.
Only five minutes later a casually dressed Prince William, flanked by his protection officers, was at the home and talking recipes for shepherd's pie with Mrs Masters.
The woman, who was born in 1899 when Queen Victoria was still on the throne, said she told the future King his grandmother should wear some new outfits for the cards.
She said: "I told him I would like the Queen to have a new dress because the one she wears has been the same. I think either a blue or white one would be nice. We talked about a lot of other things as well. "He told me he liked making shepherd's pie and said he used a masher to mash the potatoes, but I told him he was doing it wrong – he should use a fork to fluff the potatoes."
The pair shared tea, scones and eclairs during the surprise meeting which was set up by Ed Vaizey, the local Tory MP, after a request from nursing staff at the home.
Wendy Mead, a senior nurse manager at the care home, said: "We received a call and within five minutes, Prince William had arrived. There were bodyguards everywhere. He stayed for about 40 minutes talking to Catherine about her past and history. It was fabulous.
"I received a letter saying Buckingham Palace could not arrange anything. I wrote to Ed Vaizey who organised the whole thing."
Mrs Masters has now been invited to a garden party with The Queen at Buckingham Palace on July 7. The pensioner, who has lived at the home for three years, has been married twice and had one son. She has two grandsons and three great grandchildren.

As I mentioned, I've been doing extensive reclamation of my blog archives in such a way that old headers get displayed. So you can see that in action for the Blog Archives from September 2002.
The first row is is a set of buttons: back one year, back one month, archives for the current year, then 12 buttons representing each of the months of the current year, then forward one month, and forward one year. If any of these are outside the range of content for the blog, the buttons are disabled.
For annual archives, I show the current header, though I'm not sure that's the right approach. Now that I've gotten to the point where I have so much content that it's hard to make it available, except with search, and it begs the question, who would want to read all that stuff? In any case from a design and user experience perspective I want to make it possible to get at that stuff if they would like to.
The next row is the header itself, which is self-explanatory.
And finally, the primary navigation is displayed, with a set of links representing what I think are the main parts of the site: blog, resume, drawings, portfolio, tag cloud, "popular stuff," flickr & twitter (both are outbound links and get little color circles representing the branded colors of those sites), then a link for contact.
The WordPress Graphical Post Count Visualization tool I built last year was a similar effort to give people a sense of how many posts there are.
Another idea I have is some kind of graphical way to communicate about what kind of blog content is contained. If I were to create a tool to read blog posts and then graphically represent the content therein, that might be a great thing to add to the annual archives. If we take a word count of a post, that may represent say, a block of a certain size. More words is a bigger block. If there are many anchor tags, what we may actually have is a giant list of links. If there are fewer, but still a long word count, that is more likely to be an essay. If there are many img tags, then perhaps what it is is lots of photos. If this could be condensed in such a way that's clean, you could quickly find longer essays of mine. Let's say we also have a metric for the number of comments and inbound links, perhaps adding a color, you might be able to find interesting conversations. I have not done research on tools to help visualize blog content, but I think of it a bit like Edward Tufte's sparklines.
On pages for individual blog posts, there is an additional row with "next" and "previous" links. If you view this post itself, you can see the previous link show up. Once more posts appear on the site there will be a "next" post link as well.
Joe Crawford blogged this at 8:17pm in 2011 in February. The 3rd was a Thursday. You are reading this 8 years later. Comment. There are 2 comments Tweet. Send email. It has hashtags→ PHP programming screenshot visualization wordpress .
Ans it definitely works for you Jennifer. The problem for me is unity of conception and navigation. Though I wonder if I'm seeking a solution in search of a problem.

Tennessee Tech 69, Milwaukee 58
Hartford 58, Rice 51
Dixon leads UCLA women over Saint Mary's 76-62
UCLA has really benefited from the return of Jasmine Dixon.
The fifth-year senior missed last season with a rupture to her right Achilles. She's still working her way back.
Dixon scored five of her 13 points during a decisive run in the second half and No. 14 UCLA beat Saint Mary's 76-62 on Saturday in the St. John's Holiday Classic.
''Jasmine Dixon is one of the most talented players on our team,'' UCLA coach Cori Close said. ''She needs to be that player for us who we can depend on night in and night out. She still hasn't played a full week in practice yet.''
Trailing 49-48 midway through the second half, Dixon sparked a 12-0 burst that lifted UCLA (6-1) to the victory. She had the first five points of the spurt.
''At that point I came in and tried to fill in the position that coach needed me to fill and do whatever I needed to do to get the lead for my team,'' Dixon said.
Dixon said her injury has physically healed, but she's still trying to regain her pre-injury form.
''I've been taking it day by day,'' said Dixon, who only played 16 minutes on Saturday. ''I'm working to get back to where I was before.''
Trailing 35-28 at the half, Saint Mary's rallied behind Danielle Mauldin. The junior scored 11 points in the first 10 1/2 minutes of the second half, including a free throw with 9:39 remaining that gave the Gaels their first lead since early in the first half.
The lead was short-lived as Dixon scored a layup and then had a three-point play in the key run.
Jackie Nared finally ended the 5-minute scoring drought for the Gaels, hitting two free throws to cut the deficit to 60-51.
That's as close as they'd get as Atonye Nyingifa had eight straight points to seal the win. Markel Walker had 15 points and 12 rebounds to lead the Bruins. Alyssia Brewer added 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Mauldin scored a career-high 26 points to lead the Gaels (6-3).
''She kept us in the game and was a critical part of what we're trying to do offensively,'' Saint Mary's coach Paul Thomas said. ''We just gave them too many easy opportunities. We just turned the ball over a couple times and they scored easy baskets and they got offensive rebounds and putbacks."
''We can't do that, we all know that. We can't do that for our team to be successful. That's the difference in the game. If we learn from it then we'll be good when it counts and that's towards the end of the season.''
The Bruins play St. John's in the championship game Sunday. The Gaels face Tennessee Tech in the consolation game.
''Playing games like this will help us for the NCAA tournament,'' Close said.
The Gaels fell to 1-3 against the Pac-12 this season. They beat Oregon, but fell to Washington, Cal and now UCLA.
St. John's won the opening game of the tournament beating Tennessee Tech 58-46. Shenneika Smith had 15 points, eight rebounds and seven assists for the Red Storm. Amber Thompson added 12 points, seven rebounds and four blocks.

Q: Is there an arraylist in Javascript? I have a bunch of things I want to add into an array, and I don't know what the size of the array will be beforehand. Can I do something similar to the c# arraylist in javascript, and do myArray.Add(object); repeatedly on it?

A: You don't even need push, you can do something like this -
var A=[10,20,30,40];

A[A.length]=50;

A: JavaScript uses dynamic arrays, no need to declare the size beforehand
You can push and shift to arrays as many times as you want, JavaScript runtimes will handle allocation and garbage collection automatically for you

A: There is no ArrayList in javascript.
There is however ArrayECMA 5.1 which has similar functionality to an "ArrayList". The majority of this answer is taken verbatim from the HTML rendering of Ecma-262 Edition 5.1, The ECMAScript Language Specification.
Defined arrays have the following methods available:

*

*.toString ( )

*.toLocaleString ( )

*.concat ( [ item1 [ , item2 [ , … ] ] ] ) When the concat method is called with zero or more arguments item1, item2, etc., it returns an array containing the array elements of the object followed by the array elements of each argument in order.

*.join (separator)
The elements of the array are converted to Strings, and these Strings are then concatenated, separated by occurrences of the separator. If no separator is provided, a single comma is used as the separator.

*.pop ( ) The last element of the array is removed from the array and returned.

*.push ( [ item1 [ , item2 [ , … ] ] ] ) The arguments are appended to the end of the array, in the order in which they appear. The new length of the array is returned as the result of the call."

*.reverse ( ) The elements of the array are rearranged so as to reverse their order. The object is returned as the result of the call.

*.shift ( ) The first element of the array is removed from the array and returned."

*.slice (start, end) The slice method takes two arguments, start and end, and returns an array containing the elements of the array from element start up to, but not including, element end (or through the end of the array if end is undefined).

*.sort (comparefn) The elements of this array are sorted. The sort is not necessarily stable (that is, elements that compare equal do not necessarily remain in their original order). If comparefn is not undefined, it should be a function that accepts two arguments x and y and returns a negative value if x < y, zero if x = y, or a positive value if x > y.

*.splice (start, deleteCount [ , item1 [ , item2 [ , … ] ] ] ) When the splice method is called with two or more arguments start, deleteCount and (optionally) item1, item2, etc., the deleteCount elements of the array starting at array index start are replaced by the arguments item1, item2, etc. An Array object containing the deleted elements (if any) is returned.

*.unshift ( [ item1 [ , item2 [ , … ] ] ] ) The arguments are prepended to the start of the array, such that their order within the array is the same as the order in which they appear in the argument list.

*.indexOf ( searchElement [ , fromIndex ] ) indexOf compares searchElement to the elements of the array, in ascending order, using the internal Strict Equality Comparison Algorithm (11.9.6), and if found at one or more positions, returns the index of the first such position; otherwise, -1 is returned.

*.lastIndexOf ( searchElement [ , fromIndex ] ) lastIndexOf compares searchElement to the elements of the array in descending order using the internal Strict Equality Comparison Algorithm (11.9.6), and if found at one or more positions, returns the index of the last such position; otherwise, -1 is returned.

*.every ( callbackfn [ , thisArg ] ) callbackfn should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to the Boolean value true or false. every calls callbackfn once for each element present in the array, in ascending order, until it finds one where callbackfn returns false. If such an element is found, every immediately returns false. Otherwise, if callbackfn returned true for all elements, every will return true.

*.some ( callbackfn [ , thisArg ] ) callbackfn should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to the Boolean value true or false. some calls callbackfn once for each element present in the array, in ascending order, until it finds one where callbackfn returns true. If such an element is found, some immediately returns true. Otherwise, some returns false.

*.forEach ( callbackfn [ , thisArg ] ) callbackfn should be a function that accepts three arguments. forEach calls callbackfn once for each element present in the array, in ascending order.

*.map ( callbackfn [ , thisArg ] ) callbackfn should be a function that accepts three arguments. map calls callbackfn once for each element in the array, in ascending order, and constructs a new Array from the results.

*.filter ( callbackfn [ , thisArg ] ) callbackfn should be a function that accepts three arguments and returns a value that is coercible to the Boolean value true or false. filter calls callbackfn once for each element in the array, in ascending order, and constructs a new array of all the values for which callbackfn returns true.

*.reduce ( callbackfn [ , initialValue ] ) callbackfn should be a function that takes four arguments. reduce calls the callback, as a function, once for each element present in the array, in ascending order.

*.reduceRight ( callbackfn [ , initialValue ] ) callbackfn should be a function that takes four arguments. reduceRight calls the callback, as a function, once for each element present in the array, in descending order.
and also the length property.

A: In Java script you declare array as below:
var array=[];
array.push();

and for arraylist or object or array you have to use json;
and Serialize it using json by using following code:
 var serializedMyObj = JSON.stringify(myObj);

A: With javascript all arrays are flexible.  You can simply do something like the following:
var myArray = [];

myArray.push(object);
myArray.push(anotherObject);
// ...

A: Try this, maybe can help, it do what you want:
ListArray

var listArray = new ListArray();
let element = {name: 'Edy', age: 27, country: "Brazil"};
let element2 = {name: 'Marcus', age: 27, country: "Brazil"};
listArray.push(element);
listArray.push(element2);

console.log(listArray.array)
<script src="https://marcusvi200.github.io/list-array/script/ListArray.js"></script>

A: just use array.push();
var array = [];

array.push(value);

This will add another item to it.
To take one off, use array.pop();
Link to JavaScript arrays:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array

A: Arrays are pretty flexible in JS, you can do:
var myArray = new Array();
myArray.push("string 1");
myArray.push("string 2");

A: Use javascript array push() method,
it adds the given object in the end of the array.
JS Arrays are pretty flexible,you can push as many objects as you wish in an array without specifying its length beforehand. Also,different types of objects can be pushed to the same Array.

A: Just use array.push(something);. Javascript arrays are like ArrayLists in this respect - they can be treated like they have a flexible length (unlike java arrays).

in Dutch employment terms and conditions
Amendments to the NOW scheme with effect from 1 June 2020
From 1 March 2020, the Emergency Bridging Measure for Sustained Employment applies. Also known as the NOW scheme. As of 1 June 2020, this scheme will be continued for a period of four months.
Below I list the changes to the NOW scheme as of 1 June 2020. Partly, I also report what remains unchanged. For more information about the NOW scheme until 1 June 2020, I refer you to my blog Emergency Bridging Measure for Sustained Employment .
As of 1 June 2020, it remains unchanged that the scheme will not be at the expense of employees' unemployment benefits.
Furthermore, it remains unchanged that a loss of turnover must be expected of at least 20% and that the contribution to the wage costs amounts to a maximum of 90% of the wage bill. The allowance for wage costs can be applied for from 6 July 2020 up to and including 31 August 2020 at the UWV.
The expected loss of turnover of 20% must relate to a continuous period of four calendar months in the period from 1 June to 30 November 2020 inclusive. Employers can choose whether they calculate the loss of turnover over the measurement period starting on 1 June, 1 July or 1 August 2020. This must always be a continuous period of four months.
For companies applying for the NOW scheme for the second time, the period must be in line with the period chosen in the first period. For example, if a company has applied for the NOW scheme for the period starting from 1 March 2020 up to and including 31 May 2020, this company – if it now applies for the NOW scheme again – will have to do so for the periode starting from 1 June 2020 up to and including 30 September 2020.
For example, if a company has applied for the NOW scheme for the period starting from 1 May 2020 up to and including 31 July 2020, this company – if it now again applies for the NOW scheme – will have to do so for the period starting from 1 August 2020 up to and including 30 November 2020.
The allowance will continue to apply to the full wage and salary bill in the sense that the employer's contribution and the accrual for holiday allowance and the accrual for pension are also included up to a fixed amount. Until 1 June 2020, a lump-sum surcharge of 30% was calculated for this purpose. From 1 June 2020, a lump-sum surcharge of 40% will be applied.
The advance once again amounts to 80% and this time is based on the wage and salary bill for the month of March 2020.
Prohibition on profit distribution, distribution of bonuses and repurchase of own shares
For the NOW scheme from 1 June 2020 onwards, an employer or group using the NOW scheme may not distribute profits to shareholders, may not distribute bonuses to the board of directors and management, and may not repurchase own shares. This prohibition applies for 2020 up to and including the shareholders' meeting at which the annual accounts are adopted in 2021.
This prohibition also applies to other companies and institutions that do not work through a shareholders' meeting, such as cooperatives. For them, this prohibition applies up to and including the meeting at which the annual accounts are adopted in 2021.
The prohibition does not apply to dividends, bonuses and shares for 2019, as the decisions on these had already been taken, but were not paid out until 2020.
As far as bonuses are concerned, this will be limited to bonuses that are paid out to the board and management. The prohibition does not extend to other personnel working in the company who may be paid variable bonuses. Bonuses include both profit-sharing and other bonuses.
The prohibition only applies to employers who receive a subsidy amount for which an auditor's report is required. The amount of that amount is not yet known.
Dismissal of employees
If an employer applies for an allowance and, during the period covered by the application, dismisses one or more employees for business economic reasons, the wage calculation is still corrected by the wage calculation of the employee(s) for whom dismissal has been requested for business economic reasons. Until 1 June 2020, this was increased by 50% as a fine. This fine will disappear. This relates to dismissal applications submitted in the period from 1 June 2020 up to and including 30 September 2020.
The protection against dismissal will remain in place. This means that the rules for dismissal due to business economic reasons, such as permission for dismissal from the UWV (Employee Insurance Agency), and the rules regarding transition compensation will continue to apply. The obligations from the Collective Redundancy (Notification) Act will also remain in force. Under the Collective Redundancy (Notification) Act (hereinafter referred to as: CRNA), applications for dismissal of 20 or more employees must always be reported to the trade unions, as a result of which consultations can be started.
In order to be eligible for the new NOW scheme, employers must state when applying for the NOW scheme from 1 June 2020 that, if the CRNA applies, they will consult with the trade unions about the intended dismissals for a period of 4 weeks and will not submit the application for dismissal until 4 weeks after the notification on the basis of the CRNA has been made.
The subsidy will be reduced by 5% if the employer makes a CRNA notification in the period from 30 May to 30 September 2020 inclusive and submits a request(s) to the UWV for the dismissal of 20 or more employees in the period from 1 June to 30 September 2020 inclusive. This reduction of the subsidy can be avoided if an agreement is concluded beforehand with the trade unions or the employee representation.
Employers applying for the NOW scheme from 1 June 2020 will be obliged to encourage their employees to undergo training. Employers will make a statement about this when applying for the NOW scheme.
To support the initiatives of the social partners, the governement is allocating 50 million euros for this purpose, which will enable people to follow online training and development advice free of charge from July 2020 in order to adapt to the new economic situation.
Employers commit themselves to pay 100% of the salaries. An application for the NOW scheme is open to both employers who have already submitted an application in the period from 1 March 2020 up to and including 31 May 2020 and employers who are applying for the NOW scheme for the first time.
