Teaching & PhD supervision
Undergraduate teaching
Dr Perkins teaches courses on contemporary Japanese society, Japanese cinema, the radical politics of the 1960s, and research methods.
I work on the history of Japanese student politics, Japanese media, and HE pedagogy. I am also interested in social and political theory (both Japanese and beyond), memory, international relations and borders.
1. The pre and postwar Settlement Movement in Japan
In the 1880s, an Anglican clergyman and staff and students from Oxford University set up a 'settlement house' in the East End of London. Conceiving poverty as a moral problem, their goal was live with the poor to raise their cultural standards, and thus pull them out of the cycle of destitution. The idea soon spread to the United States, where settlement houses sprang up across the country.
That the settlement movement would travel across the Atlantic is no surprise: there was rich exchange between the UK and US in the late 19th century, and the values underpinning the movement – namely a particular protestant understanding of the relationship between morality and work – were shared. But what is perhaps less expected is that the settlement movement also travelled to Japan. Settlement theory was discussed at length in Japan in 1921 by Oobayashi Munetsugu, and was put into practice by students at Tokyo Imperial University in the wake of the 1923 Great Kantō Earthquake. The movement then flourished for over a decade, before coming to an end in the late 1930s, only to restart again in the early postwar era.
But how was settlement theory and practice adapted to the Japanese context? What were its goals, methods, successes and failures? And what can this example tell us about the global circulation of ideas regarding social responsibility, the state, and welfare in the pre and postwar period?
2. Japan-Korea Relations in Popular Culture
This project looks at the cultural consititution of the relationship between South Korea and Japan, with a particular focus on literary and cinematic flows between the two nations at the time of normalisation of relations in 1965.
3. Pedagogy in East Asian Studies (with Dr Daniel R Hammond, University of Edinburgh)
This project investigates 'ways of thinking and practising' in East Asian Studies in order to understand variations in institutional cultures of East Asian Studies, and to enhance teaching practice. Our initial investigation was funded by Edinburgh University's Principal's Teaching Award Scheme

The original location of the Lancaster Moravian Congregation was 30 W. Orange Street, Lancaster, PA, from 1746 -1967.
From 1967-2014, the congregation resided at 1460 Eden Road, Lancaster, PA. After a long period of discernment, in March of 2014 the congregation sold the building and began renovations to their current location, 227 N. Queen Street, right above the bus station.
This location was ready to be moved into in October of 2015. The new space was named The Moravian Center of Lancaster, which is home to the Lancaster Moravian Congregation and the Moravian Center Adult Day Program.
In that more than 270 year history, the congregation has been served by 56 clergymen. In November of 2017, after a brief period of time without a pastor, the congregation called Mandy Mastros, a new graduate of Moravian Theological Seminary and a licensed social worker, as the pastor for the congregation and the chaplain for the adult day program. She joins the staff of administrative assistant Donna Schilke and bookkeeper Therese Walton.
A Worldwide Church – Today, there are more than one million members of the Moravian Church in the world. Most of them live in eastern Africa. Other major Moravian centers include the Caribbean basin (U.S. Virgin Islands, Antigua, Jamaica, Tobago, Surinam, Guyana, St. Kitts, and the Miskito Coast of Honduras and Nicaragua), South Africa, Winston-Salem, and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. The church in North America numbers only about 60,000 (including Canada, Alaska, Labrador). We are geographically broken down into 19 Unity Provinces, in addition to Mission Provinces and Unity Undertakings.
We recognize mission as more than an obligation; it is a defining call of our relationship with God and with our fellow neighbor. To live our call to mission, Moravians understand that action, rather than mere intention, is essential. Moravians also understand mission as bringing people to Christ, rather than to Moravian membership, as the primary goal. We currently have missions throughout the world. Lancaster Moravian Church assists these missions through donations to Board of World Missions.

Celebrating 20 Years – Kimberly Woodside, Real Estate Tax Strategist
By Taylor Valdes, Administrative Assistant | April 13, 2017
Welcome to the fourth installment of our "Perkins Milestones" anniversary series, which explores our employees' career paths and their time at Perkins. (If you missed our other anniversary posts, check out our blog to scope them out.)
At a young age, Kimberly developed a desire to help people thrive and a love of real estate and community building. Her family, starting with bare land, built a variety of different businesses on their farm: donut shop, convenience store, and an ice-cream parlor to name a few — all in addition to the production and care of 20,000 chickens, horses and cows. Growing up surrounded by entrepreneurs, Kimberly was raised with a can-do attitude and keen interest in business.
While attending Oregon State University to study business, Kimberly's father suffered a massive stroke, so she put her studies on hold to assist her mother with the financial aspects of the family's businesses. Years later, Kimberly is still helping businesses with their finances. Her kind and friendly nature makes everyone feel like family. For 20 years Perkins & Co has been fortunate to have this caring and clever dynamo on our team. We recently asked her to reflect on her time at Perkins, and here's what she had to say:
Q: How did you first hear about Perkins?
My professors in college recommended Perkins as a good alternative option to the Big 4.
Q: What attracted you to Perkins?
I was attracted to the size of the firm, the people and the firm's reputation.
Q: What was your first project at Perkins & Co and in what industry was it?
When I first started at Perkins, I was doing both audit and tax work. However, the most memorable projects are from my time as a senior. Tim Kalberg was my supervisor, and we worked on tax returns for a premier new & used store fixture supplier and a prominent high-rise commercial office building in downtown Portland. At the time, those were two of the most complex returns to prepare; they involved crazy work papers to track the various book/tax differences and reconciliations of accounts. The work was further complicated by the fact that Tim used Lotus and 12 column paper work papers, while I only knew Excel. Our team for these projects definitely burned the midnight oil to make things work and ensure the projects were completed on time.
Q: What do you like most about working at Perkins?
I adore the people — both internal at the firm and the clients. We have a smart group and great teams to work with. We also have awesome clients. The sophistication of the interconnected services we can provide allows us to do a better job and make our work more fun! It's great to be able to simply walk down the hall and get answers to, or brainstorm about, complex or unusual issues.
Q: What's your best memory at Perkins (so far)?
That's a tough one. Some of my favorite memories include the family picnics and the fun activities we do as a firm. Back in the day, Cheryl Perkins, our former president, hosted family picnics at her house where people could water ski and the kids giddily played in the mud. I also enjoyed playing on the city league softball team and participating on our firm's Hood to Coast teams for five consecutive years.
Also, let's not forget the delirious moments in busy season. After you've worked very long hours you say and do some silly things—like wearing one blue shoe and one black shoe to work—and can't help but laugh at yourself.
Q: What's one thing you wish you knew before entering "the real world" about the accounting profession?
To be honest, I wish I had known how rewarding a career at an accounting firm could be. You're surrounded by smart, dedicated, creative (yeah, who ever thought accountants and creative would be in the same sentence), and, surprisingly, very competitive people. You often hear only about the long hours you're expected to work during busy season.
Q: What advice would you give to younger accountants or individuals entering the accounting field?
Know yourself and what drives you. Learn the business of accounting and what makes a firm successful and you, too, will be successful. You'll be surprised how important soft skills are versus technical ones.
Q: What do you look for in a candidate who's looking to join Perkins &Co?
Personality. For me it's important that a candidate has a sense of humor — it gets us through some crazy times, as I mentioned earlier. Someone who's naturally curious and self-motivated is extremely important too. Be motivated to learn for yourself and to learn about the clients and their needs; that's why we do what we do…to help clients reach their goals and build their legacy.
There's no doubt Kimberly is a legacy-builder; we've had the benefit of experiencing that first-hand! Kimberly has been integral to building Perkins' reputation as the go-to firm for the accounting needs of local commercial real estate and construction businesses. Her focus on real estate building a community versus just a building gives her work depth and breadth. She brings skill, experience and a lot of heart to everything she does. Thank you for your great work, Kimberly!

Quartet Records and MovieScore Media presents the CD premiere of Laurent Eyquem's score for sweeping historical miniseries.
Clash of Futures is an eight-part series exploring the dramatic era of the 1920s and '30s. It follows the fates of extraordinary men, women and children from France, Germany, Italy, Great Britain, Austria, Sweden, Poland and the Soviet Union using their own diary entries, letters and memoirs. These are people drawn into the war by their convictions, who with their loves and decisions bring the history of Europe with all its contradictions to life.
The trumpet is the symbolic instrument holding together the decade-spanning adventure. From the haunting sound of the Harmon Cup Trumpet to the solemn voice of the classic trumpet, it's soulful sound takes us on a journey from the emergence of jazz in Europe at the end of World War I, to the ascendance of Nazism and Fascism, through to the military marches in 1939.
The score was recorded with the Berlin Film Symphonic Orchestra in the legendary Babelsberg Studio and the choir, heard in the final piece of the album, was recorded in Prague. The package includes liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score.


- Imagine boarding a bus, but instead of looking for a seat, rushing to look through a microscope.
The BioBus is a mobile science lab, an energy-friendly "green" bus that is powered by the sun, wind, and left-over vegetable oil.
It is stopping off at schools throughout the city, and recently pulled up in front of PS 54 on Willowbrook Road.
—known as "Dr. Ben"—who conceived of, and operates, the bus.
Dubin-Thaler received a doctorate degree in cell biology from Columbia University four years ago. When he graduated, he decided he wanted to bring science to grass-roots communities. He bought a 1974 San Francisco Transit bus through Craigslist, and converted it into the BioBus. It's equipped with computers and microscopes, and functions as a science lab on wheels.
His aim is to give every child the opportunity to study science, not just from textbooks, but hands-on and up-close. "The BioBus was my way to bring the excitement that I felt about science to students across New York," he explained.
The students at PS 54 got to see daphnia, which are crustaceans that are equipped with a transparent shell. They were able to see the daphnia's heart beating, its digestive system and learn about how it moves and its place in the food chain. They were also able to look at their own skin cells, hair cells, and fibers from their clothing under the high-powered microscopes that were attached to large screens.
Then Dr. Ben talked to students about how the bus runs on reprocessed vegetable oil, oil that they've seen their moms and grandmas use to cook. He spoke to them about wind and solar energy.
Students were both excited and inspired by the BioBus visit.
said that being on the BioBus and doing experiments made her "feel like a real scientist."
"It's awesome," was how fifth-grader Jason Bonoan described the experience. "I wish more people could see this bus," he added.
thought the BioBus was "a once in a lifetime experience in elementary school."
also hoped that "more and more students would get a chance to see this cross-country lab."
, PS 54 science content specialist, who learned about the BioBus through the media.
During the school year, Dr. Ben brings the bus to more than 30 schools around the city. When he's not at a school, he will park the bus at various New York locations and open it to the public. The project is funded by major corporations, private donations and grants. Other scientists have volunteered to be part of Dr. Ben's program.


For those of you who may be in Melbourne next week I will be giving a short presentation on Photography in Iceland as part of the AIPP Australian Institute of Professional Photography's annual Decathlon event. The Decathlon is an opportunity for ten invited speakers to each give a ten minute talk with ten slides about any given topic they wish. The event is great fun and will be held at the AIPP National offices next Wednesday the 24th of April at 6:00pm. You can register to attend on the AIPP website.


Originally the writer side of the PIPE code was mapping the supplied user data into KVM and then signalling the reader side. The reader side would then copy the data out of KVM.
The concept Alan codified is quite different: Instead of having the originator map the data into KVM, simply supply an array of vm_page_t's to the target and let the target map the data into KVM. In the case of the PIPE code, Alan used the SF_BUF API (which was originally developed by David Greenman for the sendfile() implementation) on the target side to handle the KVA mappings.
Avoiding the KVM mappings and the related kernel_object manipulations required for those mappings saves a lot of cpu cycles when all you want is a quick mapping into KVM.
On SMP, KVM mappings generated IPIs to all cpus in order to invalidate the TLB. By avoiding KVM mappings all of those IPIs go away.
When the target maps the page, it can often get away with doing a simple localized cpu_invlpg(). Most targets will NEVER HAVE TO SEND IPIs TO OTHER CPUS. The current SF_BUF implementation still does send IPIs in the uncached case, but I had an idea to fix that and Alan agrees that it is sound… and that is to store a cpumask in the sf_buf so a user of the sf_buf only invalidates the cached KVM mapping if it had not yet been accessed on that particular cpu.
For PIPEs, the fact that SF_BUF's cached their KVM mappings reduced the mapping overhead almost to zero.
Now when I heard about this huge performance increase I of course immediately decided that DragonFly needed this feature to, and so we now have it for DFly pipes.
But it also got me to thinking about a number of other sticky issues that we face, especially in our desire to thread major subsystems (such as Jeff's threading of the network stack and my desire to thread VFS), and also issues related to how to efficiently pass data between threads, and how to efficiently pass data down through the I/O subsystem.
Until now, I think everyone here and in FreeBSD land were stuck on the concept of the originator mapping the data into KVM instead of the target for most things. But Alan's work has changed all that.
For threaded VFS we can change the UIO API to a new API (I'll call it XIO) which passes an array of vm_page_t's instead of a user process pointer and userspace buffer pointer.
So 'XIO' would basically be our implementation of target-side mappings with SF_BUF capabilities.
We can do away with KVM mappings in the buffer cache for the most prevalient[sic] buffers we cache… those representing file data blocks. We still need them for meta-data, and a few other circumstances, but the KVM load on the system from buffer cache would drop by like 90%.
We can use the new XIO interface for all block data referencse from userland and get rid of the whole UIO_USERSPACE / UIO_SYSSPACE mess. (I'm gunning to get rid of UIO entirely, in fact).
We can use the new XIO interface for the entire I/O path all the way down to busdma, yet still retain the option to map the data if/when we need to. I never liked the BIO code in FreeBSD-5, this new XIO concept is far superior and will solve the problem neatly in DragonFly.
We can eventually use XIO and SF_BUF's to codify copy-on-write at the vm_page_t level and no longer stall memory modifications to I/O buffers during I/O writes.
I will be able to use XIO for our message passing IPC (our CAPS code), making it much, much faster then it currently is. I may do that as a second step to prove-out the first step (which is for me to create the XIO API).
Once we have vm_page_t copy-on-write we can recode zero-copy TCP to use XIO, and won't be a hack any more.
XIO fits perfectly into the eventual pie-in-the-sky goal of implementing SSI/Clustering, because it means we can pass data references (vm_page_t equivalents) between machines instead of passing the data itself, and only actually copy the data across on the final target. e.g. if on an SSI system you were to do 'cp file1 file2', and both file1 and file2 are on the same filesystem, the actual *data* transfer might only occur on the machine housing the physical filesystem and not on the machine doing the 'cp'. Not one byte. Can you imagine how fast that would be?
And many other things. XIO is the nutcracker, and the nut is virtually all the remaining big-ticket items we need to cover DragonFly.
So this is kinda like if the Wright brothers woke up one morning with a vague idea how to build a Saturn V?

What is Sandtray Play Therapy?
Sandtray therapy has been around for almost 100 years. It was first developed by Margaret Lowenfeld, a British Pediatrician and Psychiatrist. But actually, it was the children in Dr. Lowenfeld's playroom who took miniature figures and put them in her sand box, creating "worlds" in which they played with life situations that were troubling them. Recognizing the wisdom of these children, Lowenfeld developed protocols and named her intervention the World Technique. In the years that followed, many clinicians continued to build on Lowenfeld's work, perhaps most notably Dora Kalff, a Jungian Analyst. To this day, the Jungian roots of symbolic play are at the heart of Sandtray play therapy.
Today's Sandtray Play Therapist will provide three things to clients. First, he or she will have a large assortment of miniature figures which can be used to embody a full array of life experiences. Second, there will be trays filled with sand in which the client can create a "world". And most importantly, the Sandtray Play Therapist will have undergone comprehensive training. Sandtray Play Therapy is not learned in a day or a week, but rather it is an engaging process of personal and professional development which begins with the first training and continues to deepen and unfold over a lifetime!
Who Benefits from Sandtray Play Therapy?
Sandtray Play Therapy has long been established as a therapeutic technique for adults and adolescents as well as children.
Albert Einstein is quoted as saying "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it." That statement captures the usefulness of Sandtray Play Therapy with adult and adolescent clients. Using miniatures in the sandtray provides access to a deeper level of consciousness and allows the client to "play with" this deeper understanding and apply new insight to solving life problems.
With our growing understanding of brain science, we now know experiential therapies are preferable in the treatment of trauma. Sandtray Play Therapy is a sophisticated experiential approach that does not feel "childish" and therefore is attractive to adults and adolescents in treatment for trauma-related challenges.
Children are naturally drawn to Sandtray Play Therapy! The non-directive, creative method is an effective and safe way for children to share their inner world. Children under the age of 11 do not have the thinking and language skills to engage in adult-like problem solving. Sandtray Play Therapy is one of many play therapy techniques used to treat children. The following video demonstrates why children need play therapy instead of traditional talk therapy.

England in Sri Lanka: Touring party all clear after being retested for Covid-19
England's touring party were sprayed with disinfectant upon their arrival at Hambantota airport
England's touring party in Sri Lanka have passed coronavirus tests having been retested after all-rounder Moeen Ali's positive result on Monday.
All of the players and staff had a lateral flow test and PCR at England's base in Hambantota.
England can start restricted training on Wednesday, and the touring party must undergo a third test on Thursday.
Moeen tested positive on arrival in Sri Lanka and is isolating for 10 days at the team hotel in Hambantota.
The original accommodation he was due to go to in Galle had building work on-site and the alternative option was not up to standard as per the protocols. He returned on Tuesday evening and is now staying in a separate wing away from the England team.
Fellow all-rounder Chris Woakes was deemed as a possible close contact, having shared a car to the airport with Moeen in the UK. He tested negative but will continue to isolate in his room.
Meanwhile, BBC Sport has learned Sri Lanka, who lost the second Test against South Africa in Johannesburg on Tuesday, will not face a 10-day quarantine period upon their return to the country.
They will fly back on a chartered flight and, as they are transferring from one bio-secure bubble to another, a quarantine period has been deemed unnecessary.
They are expected to have PCR tests before being cleared to play in the two-Test series that starts in Galle on 14 January.

I used to buy a brand name filament (Colorfabb), because every generic, no-name filament I tried was not good enough. I thought I'd take a chance on some from filaments.ca, and to my surprise, it is ever bit as good as Colorfab. I have only printed a few things with it so far, so I hesitate to say it's the best I've tried, but it may well be. I LOVE to save money on filament, and it's especially sweet when it's good filament. Nice work, guts!

In his Manna Fest program entitled "Your Fiery Trial – Know the 'E' Factor" (3/21/2021), Perry Stone, citing 1 Peter 1:1, began by stating that the word "strangers" (parepidēmois, or παρεπιδήμοις, in Greek) used there referred to those of other nations; "pilgrims", or Gentile believers living throughout the nations. This is a perfect example of someone with little to no theological training trying to explain meaning. The fact of the matter is that the writer of 1 Peter, whoever he really was (and it may have been Peter) was not addressing his letter to Gentiles who lived among Gentiles. But that is the inference made by Mr. Stone here. It is not a logical inference, but that never stops any televangelist from spouting any sort of nonsense they desire, after all. No, in actuality, the writer was addressing the same people that the first evangelists always reached out to – former Gentile proselytes to Judaism. At no time did any of them ever reach directly out to non-Jewish persons.
But, most who have studied this won't tell you that. Look, even some of my former professors, whom I greatly respect, will dispute me on this. But the real truth is that everywhere any of the apostles went, they focused their attention on those who were already a part of Jewish Synagogues. They went into what is known as the Diaspora and sought converts from among those, mainly focusing on proselytes to Judaism from among the nations. So, in effect, Mr. Stone almost had it right, but just didn't have it quite right. Jewish people who lived among the nations were often referred to as "strangers" or "sojourners". Frankly, even into late medieval times people from other "nations" were still referred to as "strangers" when they settled into England (some of my own ancestors among them). They didn't have to be Jewish; they just had to be "other".
Now, one may try to counter what I have stated here by pointing out that Peter himself, according to the book of Acts, did go to the Roman Centurion, Cornelius. Surely, one might say, he was not Jewish, right? Well; wrong. The passage in Acts actually explains, for those who understood when the book was actually written, that Cornelius was, in fact, a proselyte to Judaism. How so? This is done by referring to him as a "God fearer" and emphasizing all of the good works he had done. The very term "God fearer" simply meant that he was a proselyte to Judaism.
Well then, someone else may counter, what about Paul's visit to Athens? Surely, one might say, the people he encountered there were not Jewish. After all, they seemed to better fit the mold of Greek philosophers. And, in fact, that is exactly how they are portrayed by the writer of Acts. However, one can see, by reading the passage, that Paul had not sought them out, but just happened to be out in the public square, if you will, when he encountered them. The place where they were gathered – the Areopagus – was exactly the area where anyone would go to promote one's own philosophy and hope to gain followers. It would also have been the one place anyone would go for any sort of entertainment, or to take part in certain court hearings. In so many words, it was, naturally, the place where people gathered. Paul would have certainly gone there. All that being said, I consider this event to have been entirely made-up by the writer to explain how Paul got from Northern Greece and Macedonia to Corinth. He could hardly have avoided Athens, after all, right? But, I don't believe he actually ever went there because of one critical factor. As I explain in my first book, Apocalypse and Armageddon, he made no attempt to establish a church there as he had done everywhere else he went before he was imprisoned. For me, that demonstrates that this event was an invention of the writer.
In the end, one has to eventually come to understand that the entire scenario of Paul, or any other apostle, going around the empire reaching directly out to Pagans is a myth. That is simply not what happened, and one can see it simply by reading the very book of Acts. In every single case, even after Paul swore he would never go into Jewish Synagogues in the Diaspora again, that is exactly what he did in the very next instance. That proselytes were easy fruit to pick, so to speak, since they had not yet fully converted to Judaism (it was a process that took time and effort) seems obvious. Regardless, Jewish people in the Diaspora were habitually referred to as "strangers" or "sojourners" because they were not seen as permanent residents, so this is in no way unique to whoever wrote 1 Peter and it in no way refers only to Jewish proselytes from among the nations. It refers to any Jewish person who was living among the nations – anywhere.

Santa can't decide between the naughty or nice list for the child in this free, printable Christmas letter. He suggests that the child behave kindly during the holidays in order to get the best presents.
Well, today is the day that I make up my list of naughty and nice children. Some kids are easy to put in one column or the other. A lot of the nice kids listen to their parents, do their homework and chores, and play nicely with their siblings. You've been difficult to place, though, and I haven't decided whether you should go in the naughty or nice column.
According to my records, you try to do nice things, and I think that's great. I see here that you do a good job of helping your parents around the house. Keep it up! However, I do have another list of some pretty naughty behavior, most specifically the recent "Incident" that shall go unnamed.
I'll be watching you for the next few weeks up until Christmas to make sure I put you in the right column. If you're looking for a way to bump yourself up onto the good list, you could ask your parents for ideas. I'm sure they'd love to help you out.
Best of luck—I'm rooting for you!


My name is Nathalie and I live with my family in Beirut, Lebanon. Alexandra, my daughter (seen on the right), is 4 years old. She has had her vaccines against meningitis type A, C, W but she contracted the Type B.
Alexandra was a perfectly healthy little girl until that Saturday.
She woke up on November 19th 2016 with a little fever.
She came to our bed and complained about a sore throat.
I gave her Advil and she went back to sleep.
She woke up at around 9 am. She wasn't good. Very sleepy. Barely answered my questions. I assumed it was a flu!
I called her Doctor. He told me to continue with Panadol.
I felt something was not good I don't know why.
In the late afternoon at around 5pm I called him again. He said he would meet me at his clinic. By that time she started having small little violet dots on her stomach. They were very small.
Her feet started hurting. She vomited.
We arrived to the Doctors. Her clinical exam was ok but the violet spots pushed him to send me to the ER.
At 10pm the first blood tests came out normal but our paediatrician had an instinct.
He started antibiotics by intravenous injection (IV) and told me we should spend the night at the hospital.
At 2am that night I heard Alexandra make a small noise. I felt she was not good. The nurses came. They took her blood pressure. It was very low. All her body was blue.
We were taken to Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Alexandra wasn't good at all. The doctors told us it was very critical.
Her kidneys stopped working. She started to swell up.
We had to be transferred to another hospital to start dialysis.
In order to do so she had to go through surgery to put a catheter in her stomach. Her platelets were very low!
We spent 1 month in ICU and more in the hospital.
Today Alexandra is doing great. The doctors call her a living miracle. We are very lucky and we thank God for the chance we had.
However, in Lebanon meningococcemia doesn't exist. People don't know what this disease is. The Bexsero® vaccine is still not available.
As CoMO say, with this disease we have to Trust our Instincts. If we hadn't the story would have been a lot different!

Q: How to get Windows recommended display scaling? via this can get current display scaling
var dpiRatio = DisplayInformation.GetForCurrentView().RawPixelsPerViewPixel;

but, I need recommended display scaling

Is it possible to get this value?
Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

A: This setting is the screen DPI, or dots per inch.
Read it like so:
float dpiX, dpiY;
Graphics graphics = this.CreateGraphics();
dpiX = graphics.DpiX;
dpiY = graphics.DpiY;

I don't think it's possible at the moment for the X and Y values to be different. A value of 96 corresponds to 100% font scaling (smaller), 120 corresponds to 125% scaling (medium) and 144 corresponds to 150% scaling (larger). However, users are able to set values other than these standard ones.

A: In the current state of the new Windows 8/10 System Configuration Window. Not all settings are accessible via an API.
Here u can find information in general about DPI scaling Link
But for ur current question - 'Recommended' is just a calculation in between the physical monitor resolution, it's dpi and the OS dpi. I wasn't able to find the actual calculation but maybe ur able to find it yourself.

A: Use:
ResolutionScale resolutionScale DisplayInformation.GetForCurrentView().ResolutionScale;
double factor = (double)resolutionScale / 100.0;

Yesterday I made this yummy soup for dinner. This smells awesome and tastes delicious. Apart from haing excellent smell and taste we have to look at the another important and intresting feature of this recipe. It is healthy and can be had with roti(Indian Bread) or Bread or Rolls. We had with toasted white bread. You can also have this soup with out any bread. You can modify this recipe to your taste, that is you can add more spices or reduce the spices and cook. You can even choose your favorite vegges also. That is why I like this soup a lot. Try it and you will ike it for sure.
I am making the mild spicy version of this recipe. you can prepare it to you taste by reducing or increasing the amout of ingredients. Wash and soak Kidney beans and Black eye peas for about 4-6hrs.
Now take a pressure cooker and add Kidney beans, black eye peas, chili, carrot, tomato, cauliflower and cook it for 3 whistles by adding required amout of salt. When all the pressure escapes from the cooker open it and mix well with spoon. Serve hot.
Prepere tempering (talimpu/thadka). For this heat 2tbsp of oil in a pan and add 1tbsp of cumin seeds and 1/2tbsp of fresh garlic crushed. When the garlic turns golden brown mix with the cooked soup. You can also add 1/4tbsp cumin powder and 1/4tbsp of coriander powder and cook it again.
Garnish with coriander/cilantro and serve hot.

Isaiah, one of the great Hebrew prophets, the son of one Amoz; was a citizen of Jerusalem, evidently of some standing, and who flourished between 750 and 700 B.C.; like Amos (q.v.), he foresaw the judgment that was coming on the nation for its unfaithfulness, but felt assured that God would not altogether forsake His people, and that "a remnant," God's elect among them, would be saved—that though the casket would be shattered in pieces, the jewel it contained would be preserved. See Hebrew Prophecy.

A T Painting
An expedition to London and Salute.
The weekend of 25th and 26th April 2015, the Antediluvian miniatures team launched an expedition to London to participate go to the War gaming show 'Salute'. We took this rare opportunity to do some sight seeing and visit some of the places that have inspired the range of miniatures currently under development. Firstly there was the obligatory visit to the Natural History Museum, the dinosaur room was packed full of enthusiastic families, while some of the displays are a little out of date in terms of more recent understanding of dinosaurs, it is clear that the appeal of these fossilised bones endures through the generations. It was good to get to see the iconic Diplodocus which graces the entrance hall of the museum, as he or she will soon be replaced by another exhibit. We also enjoyed seeing some models of the Crystal Palace Megalosaur which ours is inspired by.
The show on Saturday was in the massive ExCel building. Stuart at Studio Miniatures was kindly displaying our Megalosaurus and Iguanodon sculpted by Andrew May, alongside the master casts of our new 'Adventurers' sculpted by Matthew Bickley, as well as his own popular ranges and the Claymore Castings ( another of our projects) . We collected the Adventurers at the show and they are now on their way to be put into production moulds, we hope to have these available for sale by early June. This was also the first opportunity for people to buy the Iguanodon, which is now available on our Shop page. We had a great time at the show catching up with friends old and new, looking at all the weird and wonderful exhibits and enthusing about lost world adventures.
The day after the show we didn't quite feel up to the London Marathon which was on, so we went south to crystal palace park instead where the sculptures by Benjamin Waterhouse Hawkins are still exhibited. These have been the inspiration for our first dinosaurs in the range, and it was wonderful to get to see them in person.

La dinastia Ahom (1228–1826) regnò sul regno Ahom (attuale Assam) per circa 600 anni. La dinastia fu instaurata da Sukaphaa, un principe shan di Mong Mao, che raggiunse l'Assam superando i monti Patkai. Il dominio della dinastia sul paese terminò nel 1826 con il Trattato di Yandaboo quando l'Assam passò sotto il controllo della Compagnia britannica delle Indie orientali.

Nelle cronache medievali, i re di questa dinastia venivano chiamati Asam Raja, mentre i sudditi del regno li chiamavano con il termine shan Chaopha (Chao: sovrano, principe, Pha-cielo), o con il corrispondente termine della lingua ahom Swargadeo a partire dal XVI secolo.

Call Of Duty Has A New Mobile Game, Here's How To Play It On Android Right Now
By Oliver Haslam | December 15th, 2018
Call of Duty fans love to get their FPS on, and now they have another way of doing exactly that thanks to the arrival of the Call of Duty Mobile beta. Assuming they're Android users, of course.
With PUBG and particularly Fortnite causing a stir in the gaming space, some may be forgiven for thinking that more traditional shooters like Call of Duty are waning in popularity, but that's simply not the case. Activision has joined forces with Tencent Games to release Call of Duty: Legends of War, a first person shooter that is designed specifically for the Android platform. The game takes the Call of Duty that we are all familiar with and gives gives it the mobile treatment.
There's a multiplayer element just as you might expect these days, but here's also a zombie mode that supports both multi and single player gaming. Unfortunately, the world of mobile gaming pretty much guarantees that here will be in-app purchases throughout, but that's a given at this point.
Tencent Games and Activision have soft-launched Call of Duty: Legends of War in Australia, and while in-app purchases aren't live just yet, it's likely they'll be activated once the game is available worldwide.
If you want to get your COD on before the game is officially ready for everyone outside Australia, you can download the version 1.0.0 beta and try it out for yourself right now. There are, however, some hoops to jump through, with the folks at XDA here running through exactly what needs to be done. If you've side-loaded APK files of Android games before, you should be familiar with the process.
If you do go through with the installation, be sure to pop off a few rounds for me!

DANISH CRAFTSMANSHIP
Table no. 119admin2019-12-04T15:50:09+01:00
Shown variant: Solid Oak
Table No. 119 is designed for life. From family meals, working from home and homework, to meals with friends and family gatherings – life happens around the table.
Table No. 119 is designed as a practical solution for homes where space is limited. It offers seating for four people but with two extension leaves it offers seating and table space for more.
Table No. 119 is inspired by Bernh. Pedersen & Søn's table No. 148 from 1958 and taps into the essence of Danish Modern with its clean lines, functional design and expert Danish craftsmanship. Made from solid oak or walnut, each considered piece highlights the natural beauty of the grain and structure. Its design features rounded legs and a solid frame that offer a supportive and sturdy base.
The table comes in two sizes (Ø105 and Ø115) and every piece is made in Denmark and individually numbered on final assembly.
Bernh. Pedersen & Søn, a Danish furniture maker, has a long and strong tradition in furniture and cabinetmaking stretching all the way back to the company's start in 1902. Through three generations the family firm has created and sold classic Danish furniture to many parts of the world. The period 1950 – 1970 in particular was characterized by some of the most stunning and well-executed pieces in Bernh. Pedersen & Søn's history. Especially the classic mid-century sideboards and daybeds designed by Danish furniture designers, including the Danish world-renowned Johannes Andersen, Svend Aage Madsen and Kurt Østervig who were – and still are – highly valued by customers worldwide.
In 2015, great-grandson Thomas Bernhard Pedersen re-established the company and started focusing exclusively on relaunching some of the exquisite furniture designed in the 50's and 60's.

Q: ReactCSSTransitionGroup doesn't seem to be applying animations I'm working on my first React app, and I'm trying to get a simple fade transition working between "pages" (top level components I am adding and removing). I'm working off what seems to be the very straightforward example here
My render method looks like this:
render: function() {
    var currentPage;
    switch (this.state.currentPage) {
        case pages.DASHBOARD:
            currentPage = <Dashboard />;
            break;
        case pages.PROFILE:
            currentPage = <Profile />;
            break;
    }

    var currentPageDiv =
 {currentPage}
;

    return (

            <ReactCSSTransitionGroup transitionName="pageChange">
                {currentPageDiv}
            </ReactCSSTransitionGroup>

    );
},

and the CSS looks like this:
.pageChange-enter {
  opacity: 0.01;
  transition: opacity .5s ease-in;
}

.pageChange-enter.pageChange-enter-active {
  opacity: 1;
}

.pageChange-leave {
  opacity: 1;
  transition: opacity .5s ease-in;
}

.pageChange-leave.pageChange-leave-active {
  opacity: 0.01;
}

When the state updates the page transitions to the other page as it should. But the transition just "pops" identically to the way it did before I added the TransitionGroup code (so it seems the TransitionGroup code didn't have any functional effect). What noob mistake(s) am I making?

A: Change your key to a simple string instead of the React component you currently have. For example:
var currentPageDiv =
 {currentPage}
;

Might a handful of lawsuits in the Northwest states open existing bedrooms to roommates, houses to in-law apartments, and neighborhoods to new rooming houses? It's a question Sightline has long pondered. Today, we have part of the answer, in a legal analysis of occupancy limits' susceptibility to judicial review.
First, a review of the backstory. Skip ahead, if you're already in the know.
Occupancy limits have no justification.
they are untethered to dwelling size.
Besides, cities have separate crowding rules, expressed as square feet or rooms per inhabitant.
They are badly targeted and morally objectionable if justified as an antidote to crowded street parking, elevating access to free parking for some people over access to affordable housing for other people.
Because occupancy limits do not do what their proponents purport, the real motivation for occupancy limits is likely the one thing that occupancy limits do powerfully, which is to exclude low-income people from neighborhoods.
A handful of jurisdictions in Cascadia have eliminated occupancy limits or raised them to high-enough values that they are less constraining, but most cities have not. Few seem willing to even consider the issue, hidden from public view as it is in the fine print of local land-use rules.
It sounds good, but it's a curious argument: aren't students people? Aren't they youth? It's a dated argument: we know now that suppressing population density makes for more traffic and air pollution, not less. And it's a classist argument, focused on the idyll of fortunate families raising children among other fortunate families amid "the blessings of quiet seclusion" where "yards are wide" (in other words, expensive). The ruling affirms that localities may write land-use rules to exclude people who cannot afford to live in a single-family neighborhood unless they double up with roommates. That's not exactly "family values" or "youth values" so much as it is class values.
A year later, the Supreme Court extended its own distinction between family members and roommates. It ruled that a community could not restrict members of an extended family from sharing housing. Cities across the United States revised their occupancy limits to eliminate bans on extended family members. Canadian land-use rules now reflect the same principle.
The pro-family bias of these decisions may have reflected mainstream views in the mid-1970s; it is now an anachronism. Household structures have changed dramatically in the intervening years, with high divorce rates, delayed marriage and childbearing, extended lifespans, and the proliferation of cohabitation, melded households, domestic partnerships, and shared housing. US housing laws now make it illegal to discriminate against potential tenants or buyers on the basis of their family status, yet land-use codes persist in precisely this kind of discrimination. State courts in jurisdictions including California, Michigan, and New Jersey have since thrown out roommate caps entirely. Cascadian courts have not yet followed their example.
The crux of the legal issue in federal courts has been whether occupancy limits violate a "fundamental right." Courts set a higher bar for laws that impinge on fundamental rights than they do for other laws. They put the burden of persuasion on the government, rather than on challengers of the law, and they expect the government to show that the law furthers an important public interest by means that are substantially or even narrowly related to the interest. For cases involving no fundamental right they use a "rational basis test," which means they give great latitude to legislative bodies, saying, in effect, "we may or may not think your policy is a good solution to the problem you set out to solve, but we're not going to second-guess you, because our job is to protect fundamental rights, not evaluate the effectiveness of legislation. All we ask is that the law is at least plausibly related to solving the problem." In the critical 1970s Supreme Court decisions, the judges found a fundamental right to live with family members but not with others.
Thus, unless the US Supreme Court goes against its precedents in future cases, federal courts will be unwelcoming venues for legal challenges to occupancy rules. State courts, however, are more promising.
As of 1999, the last time anyone did a comprehensive legal scan of state court rulings on occupancy limits, approximately 22 states had ruled on whether occupancy limits for unrelated persons are legal (see "Belle Terre and Single-Family Home Ordinances," below in case law). While state courts interpreting their own state constitutions are under no obligation to follow the reasoning of the US Supreme Court interpreting the US Constitution, the vast majority of states have followed the lead of the Belle Terre ruling; they have upheld occupancy limits for unrelated adults.
However, California, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York have gone their own way, throwing out occupancy limits as unconstitutional. None of these states broke from the US Supreme Court by finding a fundamental right in their state constitution's due process clause that concerns unrelated adults. Instead, Michigan, New Jersey, and New York used rational basis review but found occupancy limits to fit so badly with their purported purpose that the courts invalidated them. (It's not hard to see why, considering all we argued above.) Indeed, one of the main differences between states that upheld occupancy limits and those that did not was that states that upheld occupancy limits gave more deference to the legislative bodies that passed them.
States that struck down occupancy limits found an inadequate relationship between the means and the end. The courts found that the occupancy limits were both over-inclusive and under-inclusive: the limits both included and excluded more people than they should have. For example, an occupancy limit is under-inclusive when an objective of an occupancy limit is to preserve ample street parking, but the law would not include a family of ten, all of whom have their own cars. The court in New Jersey remarked that more precise methods are available. A caveat: successful over-inclusivity or under-inclusivity arguments are rare because federal courts usually do not use under-inclusivity or over-inclusivity arguments when undergoing rational basis review.
Unlike the other states, the California court did not rely on the theory of fundamental rights (which stems from the due process clause). Instead, it relied on its state constitution's explicitly stated right to privacy. It thereby triggered strict scrutiny, the highest level of scrutiny in constitutional review. To pass the strict scrutiny test, the court must find that the law furthers a compelling government interest and is narrowly tailored to achieve that interest. In Santa Barbara v. Adamson the court decided that the government may regulate uses of homes but not the occupants of a home. In short, the government has no compelling interest in deciding who may share a dwelling: whom Californians choose to live with is a private matter, protected by the state constitution from city council regulation.
No state court in Oregon or Washington has yet ruled on occupancy limits. Among states, four out of 22 is not an encouraging win-loss ratio, but the California ruling would loom large in any legal challenge in the Northwest, not only because California is the Northwest's coastal neighbor and the largest and most influential of all states but for three other reasons.
First, Washington's state constitution, like California's but unlike Oregon's, has especially strong protections for its citizens' right to privacy. Section Seven of the state constitution enshrines privacy rights deeply in state law. Most of the case law on Washington's right to privacy deals with government surveillance, warrants, and other "search and seizure" issues, not with definitions of family, so no guidance is available on how state courts might respond to an argument like that in Santa Barbara v. Adamson. Still, an argument from an explicit constitutional guarantee of privacy is built on bedrock, not the shifting sands of a rational basis test.
Second, both Oregon and Washington's Fair Housing Acts are more extensive than their federal counterpart. The federal version bans discrimination against tenants or home buyers on several bases, including race, religion, and family status (that is, having minor children) but not marital status. Oregon's and Washington's laws, however, do include marital status. Consequently, in both states, a landlord may not discriminate against two prospective tenants because they are unmarried, yet almost all cities in both states discriminate explicitly against unmarried adults through their occupancy limits. In Seattle, for example, an extended family of eight can share a big, old house like the drafty, seven-bedroom one where one of us (Alan) grew up in Seattle's Denny-Blaine neighborhood. If an adult child marries, that new, ninth family member is allowed to move in. If, however, the same adult child wants her partner to move in without benefit of a marriage license—the exact same living arrangement—it would violate city law. Although localities are not covered by the Fair Housing Act, state courts might consider the act's prohibitions in deciding whether to consider freedom from discrimination on the basis of marital status a fundamental right.
Third, Oregon and Washington, like California, have long valued tolerance and individual liberty perhaps more than most states. This West Coast culture of "live and let live" has been reinforced in recent decades by dramatic changes in household structures and social norms around what constitutes a family. Many northwesterners would object to local governments having any say in who shares their dwellings, if they knew such rules existed. Judges might defer to legislators on such matters, but they might not. They are not isolated from shifting social norms.
Legal challenges to occupancy limits in the Northwest states might fail. That risk is substantial. Only one-fifth of state court challenges have prevailed. Still, losing such challenges would leave the region's housing shortage no worse than it already is, and even unsuccessful lawsuits might spark public debate that would stimulate reform in some cities. Occupancy limit reform is otherwise at a standstill. What do advocates for more housing, more inexpensive housing, and more compact, walkable neighborhoods have to lose?
What they have to gain—what all of Cascadia stands to gain—is tens of thousands of additional dwellings in otherwise idle bedrooms, in new in-law apartments and backyard cottages, and in new rooming houses. What other modest set of actions—a lawsuit or two each in Oregon and Washington, in this case—have even a one-in-five chance of creating tens of thousands of new, unsubsidized, affordable homes?
Gamble v. City of Escondido, 104 F.3d 300 (9th Cir. 1997) (Federal appeals court stating that preserving neighborhood character was legitimate interest in denying a group home permit).
Moore v. City of East Cleveland 431 U.S. 494 (1977) (Ruled that cities cannot restrict extended family members from sharing housing based on substantive due process violation).
Village of Belle Terre v. Boraas, 416 U.S. 1 (1974) (allowing occupancy limits for unrelated adults).
Two law review articles are especially helpful: Belle Terre and Single-Family Home Ordinances: Judicial Perceptions of Local Government and the Presumption of Validity 74 N.Y.U. L. Rev. 447, and Five is a Crowd: A Constitutional Analysis of the Boston Zoning Amendment Prohibiting More Than Four College Students From Living Together, Suffolk Law Review (2013). This site on California occupancy laws is also a good resource.
Samir Junejo, an attorney and former Sightline intern, conducted the legal research for this article.
This kind of post is why I love Sightline. A couple of questions and a comment.
How do we know that homeowners aren't already violating these laws, other than using (rising) rental prices as a very rough proxy? That kind of data is critical if you're asserting that a legal challenge could be in order.
I want to point out that many people are not good landlord material. Having an empty bedroom in your home or space for an ADU in your backyard doesn't mean you should rent it out. I listen to very sad and sometimes infuriating landlord-tenant dispute stories from small claims court, where my partner mediates cases. I'm inclined to think that any maximization policy should account for this.
Sometimes on walks through our Capitol Hill neighborhood we take the alleyways. Many (possibly the majority) of the ADU conversions I see were once garages. That tends to push parking onto the street. Which may increase demand for free parking. I haven't seen this tension addressed and it strikes me as problematic for a lot reasons, especially when it happens in neighborhoods like CH that are a patchwork of SFH and MFH. It's easy to find free parking near 17th Ave E and Aloha but difficult to do so just two blocks over on 15th Ave E (or appears so; I don't drive, but there is usually on-street parking available on 17th, not so on 15th). Do ADUs influence the high cost of free parking?

An eight-year-old cat is the equivalent age of a 50-year-old person. When humans reach this stage in their life their doctor will recommend screening for various age-related conditions such as cancers, kidney and liver abnormalities, gastrointestinal and heart conditions. Blood work, urine testing, x-rays and blood pressure measurement and other diagnostics can catch disease and age changes early. We recommend the same for your cat.
Early detection of kidney, liver and thyroid diseases, to name a few, allow us to administer the appropriate treatments to make your cat comfortable, and help extend their life.
How often should my senior cat visit the veterinarian?
Even though you may believe your pet is healthy, there are many age-related disease processes that do not show any outward sign until the disease is quite advanced. More advanced diseases can be more difficult to treat and are not always as responsive to treatment as diseases diagnosed early. We recommend annual visits for all our feline patients. Cats with ongoing chronic medical conditions may require more frequent visits for follow-up tests two or three times a year. Geriatric patients (14+ years of age) or those with advanced medical conditions should be seen at least every six months.
After performing a thorough physical examination of your cat and asking a few questions, the doctor will develop a treatment plan for you cat. Some diagnostic testing may be required to determine the cause of the weight loss. Tests may include: blood and urine tests for internal organ function, blood pressure, x-rays or ultrasound.
As they age, you may notice a change in your cat's mobility and activity levels. You may need to provide easier access to food and water bowls, and the litter box. Some older cats may have more difficulty grooming themselves. You may need to brush them more regularly and bring them in for regular nail trims.
For less active cats, you may wish to provide more interactive types of toys to keep them moving and stimulated.
Your cat's nutritional requirements will change as they age. Part of their annual examination will include a discussion about diet and body condition.
A few of the more common senior cat health problems we treat regularly include: kidney disease, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, dental disease, urinary infections, heart conditions, obesity, and arthritis. Regular check-ups for senior cats are recommended so that we can catch these common ailments at an earlier stage and provide them with a better quality of life in their senior years.
What are some signs my senior cat may display if they are feeling unwell?
Cats are experts at hiding signs of pain or weakness. Often, their behaviours will change very gradually over time and you may not notice it until it becomes more pronounced. If you notice any changes in your cat's behaviour, appetite and feeding habits, litter box habits, grooming habits, a reluctance to jump up or climb stairs, please call us.

Women pensioners urged to check if they are owed payments
Tens of thousands of women have potentially been underpaid their state pension, according to research by LCP
The State Pension is intended to support people who have left the workforce, after years of hard work and National Insurance contributions. The sums people are entitled to will vary based on these contributions, but the full new state pension amount stands at £175.20 per week. It is, however, worth noting the government states: You may get less than the new full state pension if you were contracted before April 6, 2016.
There has, however, been a revelation in recent months which will affect some women, and taking action this New Year is key.
Research undertaken by the firm Lane, Clark and Peacock (LCP) has shown tens of thousands of women have potentially been underpaid their state pension.
Women are now being urged to check their state pension sum, as complex rules could mean some have missed out.
Under old state pension system rules, married women were able to claim a basic state pension sum at 60 percent of the full rate based on the National Insurance contributions made by their husband.
However, some women have conveyed they did not receive a letter to let them know about the issue, and have therefore been affected by underpayment.
The Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) is now checking its records to determine which women have been affected by the matter.
It has urged women to come forward and contact the government if they believe themselves to have been affected.
The report by LCP, has also encouraged women to take action immediately to claim the sum to which they are entitled.
In most instances, women have been paid the amount to which they are entitled, but there have been some discrepancies.
Back in 2020, Peter Schofield, the permanent secretary at the DWP told the Work and Pensions Select Committee 11,000 cases have been received.
