Tafseer of the Quraan
Israel Metaphorically Defeated in Gaza
by Ismail Salami
(Wednesday, November 21, 2012)
"In a colossally miscalculated act, Israel launched military strikes on the enclave because they thought that Hamas would soon run out of missiles and rockets supplies and that the city would soon fall prey to dereliction and destruction. However, they were disillusioned to see that things did not happen as they preferred and that even their impenetrable Iron Dome was not that advanced to intercept the torrential salvo of Iranian-made Palestinian missiles."
At a time when the beleaguered Gaza became haunted by Israeli bombs and the innocent women and children were brutally killed by Israelis, US President Barrack Obama together with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a journey to a number of South East Asian countries including Myanmar the land of pagodas and jungles, a poverty-stricken country which has recently witnessed a state-sponsored ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population in the Rakhine region.
Obama prided himself of being the first sitting American president to visit the country in the high hopes of consolidating the changes which have taken place in the country. With the promise of more financial assistance, Mr. Obama vowed to "support you every step of the way."
Some international groups have viewed Obama's visit to Myanmar with cynicism and criticism, believing that the trip is a premature reward for a country that still incarcerates political dissidents and persecutes Muslim minority.
Critics argue that Obama's trip may be regarded as an endorsement of a despotic regime.
Myanmar refuses to recognize Rohingya Muslims as citizens and says the only solution to the crisis is to send the one-million-strong community to other countries.
The government has systematically persecuted the Rohingya Muslims for years, deprived them of their basic human rights and brutally killed them in throngs in recent months.
I for one entertained the hope that Obama would seriously bring up the plight of the benighted Muslims in Myanmar and the systematic persecution of this minority. However, much to everyone's chagrin, Obama only made a perfunctory reference to the issue and instead extended a hand of friendship to Burmese President Thein Sein and made a personal pilgrimage to the home of the opposition leader Daw Aung San Suu Kyi whose efforts in the past for the liberation of the country were massively dwarfed by her abject ignorance of the carnage of Myanmar Muslims.
This apartheid attitude is not limited to the Burmese Muslims. It is more markedly discernible in dealing with blockaded Gaza which is considered the largest virtual prison in the world.
That Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi has thrown his full-throated support behind the Gazans and has slammed the Israeli strikes against the defenseless people there was certain to provoke ire from Washington which looked on Egypt as a peace-brokering agent between the two parties. Hence, US diplomats have urged him to refrain from taking sides and instead strive towards a Zionist-friendly truce. It seems that Morsi will not have the luxury of supporting the Gazans and ignoring the demands of Washington. In fact, Egypt has to pay a heavy price for defending the Gazans i.e. risking "losing billions of dollars in US military and economic aid."
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a conservative voice of high caliber, warned Egypt on Sunday to "watch what you do and how you do it.… You're teetering with the Congress on having your aid cut off if you keep inciting violence between the Israelis and the Palestinians."
Israel has reportedly pounded Gaza over 1,500 times since Wednesday while Palestinian resistance fighters keep raining down their rockets and missiles on the southern Israeli cities of Nirim, Ein Hashlosha and Ashdod as well as the southern region of Eshkol. So far, over 130 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,000 injured in the Israeli attacks.
The invasion of Gaza was a colossal mistake and it will definitely damn Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu though some may vainly believe that the whole situation will prove to be in the best interests of the bellicose premier. Further to that, the invasion of the defenseless city and the killing of the innocent Palestinian women and children will only open up a wound exacerbated by Israeli animosity towards the Muslims in the world.
Despite all this, in a commendable move, some 100 prominent Israeli intellectuals have signed a petition, calling for a long-term ceasefire with the Hamas government. Dubbed as "We have to talk", the petition calls for a long-term ceasefire and for talks, either directly or through an international mediator, "because the residents of the South, like the people of Gaza, have the right to look up to the sky with hope and not with fear."
In a colossally miscalculated act, Israel launched military strikes on the enclave because they thought that Hamas would soon run out of missiles and rockets supplies and that the city would soon fall prey to dereliction and destruction. However, they were disillusioned to see that things did not happen as they preferred and that even their impenetrable Iron Dome was not that advanced to intercept the torrential salvo of Iranian-made Palestinian missiles.
When Israel found the situation too precarious to handle, they pleaded with their powerful lobby on Capitol Hill to help craft a Zionist-friendly truce. To this end, Clinton travelled to Jerusalem, Ramallah and Cairo in an effort to hammer out an agreement between the two sides and resolve the conflict. An Israeli source said Hillary was expected to meet Netanyahu on Wednesday. A State Department official says:
"Her visits will build on American engagement with regional leaders over the past days - including intensive engagement by President Obama with Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Morsi - to support de-escalation of violence and a durable outcome that ends the rocket attacks on Israeli cities and towns and restores a broader calm."
Needless to say, the truce supported by Washington and some regional regimes such as Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia will not ensure the rights of the Gazans and there is no guarantee that Israel will not re-tread its gory path of mayhem.

DUA FOR LEARNING THE QURAAN
It has been mentioned in some narrations that if you want to have the strongest memory , then recite the following Dua before you start learning the Quraan or any other material that you would like to memorise or remember
بِسْمِ اللهِ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَلَا إِلآهَ إِلَاَّ اللهُ وَاللهُ أكْبَرُ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّة إِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ عَدَدَ كَلَّ حَرْفٍ وَيُكْتَبُ أَبَدَ الْلآبِدِيْنَ وَدَهْرَ الدَّاهِرِيْنَ وَصَلّى اللهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ

Myanmar struggles to reach earthquake victims
SINT KU, Myanmar: Myanmar rescuers struggled on Monday to bring help to outlying villages hit by an earthquake that aid agencies say has killed at least 13 and caused a bridge and mine to collapse.
A series of powerful aftershocks rattled nerves after Sunday's 6.8-magnitude quake, which sent terrified people running from their homes in Myanmar's second-biggest city of Mandalay and surrounding villages.
Authorities said they were providing help to victims including those without shelter after more than one hundred homes were damaged but that communication problems made it difficult to assess the scale of damage and reach more remote areas.
Villagers in settlements north of Mandalay told AFP on Monday they had yet to see rescue teams following the quake, which left dozens injured and also damaged monasteries and public buildings.
"I have never felt such a big earthquake in my life. Everybody is terrified," said Win Tint, the head of Khu Lel village near Sint Ku township.
Local people had tried to salvage Buddha statues from a damaged monastery but fled in panic when aftershocks began, he said.
Some 40 buildings in the village were damaged in the quake and while there had been no serious injuries in the village, residents had been forced into temporary shelters set up in the fields.
"The situation is quite bad. No rescue team has arrived here so far," he said.
Following the initial jolt, which was felt as far away as the Thai capital Bangkok, the US Geological Survey (USGS) recorded two further strong quakes of 5.8 and 5.6-magnitude.
A United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) report Sunday said government departments had indicated "significant damage to houses, infrastructure and public buildings, including primary and secondary schools, monasteries and pagodas in various locations".
At least 100 homes were said to be damaged in two townships, it said, adding the government's Relief and Resettlement Department had responded by providing tents.
OCHA said Myanmar government reports suggested seven people had been killed, four were missing and dozens injured in the quake.
The UN's chief in Yangon, Ashok Nigam, said stocks of relief aid were stretched, given the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Rakhine state in western Myanmar where communal unrest has forced more than 110,000 people to flee their homes.
"Depending upon what response is required, we will have to assess at that point... but yes, we do have a very intense emergency going on in Rakhine and the stocks are low," he told AFP.
A situation report from Save the Children on Sunday put the number killed at 13, including four labourers who plunged into the Irrawaddy River near Sint Ku when the steel structure of a large, partially built bridge collapsed.
Six more people were killed in Sint Ku township, including two who died when a gold mine caved in. Damage to a monastery in the nearby village of Kyauk Myaung left two people dead and a further fatality was reported in Mandalay, it said.
Residents in Mandalay fled shaking homes and hotels in panic, but no major damage was reported in the city. Construction standards are generally poor in the country formerly known as Burma, one of Asia's most impoverished nations.
The quake comes little more than a week before US President Barack Obama is due in Myanmar on a historic visit, as the West rolls back sanctions to reward dramatic reforms under President Thein Sein.
More than 70 people were killed in March 2011 when a powerful 6.8-magnitude quake struck Myanmar near its borders with Thailand and Laos.
Aid workers praised the country's regime for its speedy response to that quake, in contrast to the handling of previous natural disasters by the junta which had ruled the country for decades.

Add Some Scent To Your Life
On one occasion Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam sat in Masjidun Nabawee with the Sahaba Radiyallahu Anhu around him. They asked him: "O Nabi of Allah, are there any things from this world that is beloved to you?" Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam replied: "Three things have been made beloved to me: 1) Perfume 2)Women and 3) the coolness of my eyes is Salaah."{ Nasa'i}
Nabi Sallahu Alaihi Wasallam would apply Itr at different times of the day as well as for different occasions. He would apply Itr when he would meet delegations, when going to the Masjid for Salaah, when going for the Jum'ah Salaah and for the Eid Salaah. He would also apply Itr in the latter portion of the night when he would awake to perform the Tahujjud Salaah.
There are different types of Itr that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would use. He would use Oud and Mask. Sometimes he would mix these two. He would also use Amber, fragrant flowers(Raihana) and spoke highly about the rose. He said: "If someone presents a flower to you, you should never refuse it. Sometimes Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam would mix Oud, Musk and Amber with olive oil.
Never the less, if we use any sweet smelling fragrance we will be fulfilling the Sunnah of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam. However, we should try and use the fore-mentioned types of Itr as the more we follow the Sunnah the closer we will be to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam.

Cleaner turns into a millionaire overnight
A sweating Bangladeshi cleaner earning less than Dh1,000 a month was busy sweeping the ground just outside the Grand Mosque in Saudi Arabia when an old man rushed forward and hugged him. With tears in his eyes, the man began crying when he told the cleaner that he is his brother and that he would give him millions.
The incident is not part of an Asian movie. It happened in Makkah on Friday, which the cleaner described as the "most beautiful Friday in my life."
The cleaner had come to Saudi Arabia to flee his repressive brother, who usurped his share from a family inheritance and sent him to jail many times. At first, he could not recognise his elder brother because of his shaven head and pilgrimage dress.
People who know the cleaner stared in surprise as the old crying pilgrim nearly strangled him with his hugs and kisses. Their surprise quickly turned into curiosity as the old man started to recount the story to his brother's friends.
They were told that the cleaner is not that poor man as he looks. He hails from a wealthy and prestigious family at home but that he left his family after his older brother denied him his SR17-million share (Dh16.8 million) of the inheritance.
But what made the old man return to his senses and decide to give his younger brother his rights back.? His answer was that he could not stop feeling guilty for years and that he believes he suffered from cancer because of his oppression of his brother.
He told them he had wanted to go to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage for many years but that he had not known he would meet his brother in the Gulf Kingdom.
"The old man told the crowd who gathered to see this dramatic scene that he and his brother hail from a very rich and prestigious family, including former cabinet ministers and dignitaries……he spoke to them in Bangladeshi language through his young brother who spoke Arabic fluently," Sabq newspaper said.
"After he finished relating their story, scores of men surrounded the cleaner to hug him and congratulate him on the new wealth."
The paper quoted the pilgrim as saying he felt much better after he met his brother and performed pilgrimage, adding :"I don't see just a brother but one of my sons…perhaps he is dearer to me than all my sons….I pray to God that I will be able to compensate him all these years of deprivation and oppression."
The cleaner told the paper that he decided to return home immediately and to "turn this page of hunger, loneliness, deprivation and torment for being away from home."
"I will never forget what I have been through in my country and here…I will always remember the poor and I promise to support and help them because I know poverty and its harms," the paper quoted him as saying, adding that he had memorized a large part of the Koran during his stay in Saudi Arabia.
Sabq said the two later went together to a nearby restaurant and invited the cleaner's friends to have a meal with them.
"A Saudi man who has known the cleaner for a long time whispered to a friend at the restaurant 'I have always given money to this cleaner but I have never known I was helping a millionaire."

Take Maximum Benefit from the Blessed Days
While we anxiously wait for the day of Eid, we need to be aware of the unique period of the Islamic calendar we are passing through. In the next few days two great acts of worship will be observed, which cannot be performed at any other time of the year.
The first of which is Hajj. It cannot be performed at any other time of the year. Other forms of worship can be performed at any time. Salaah is obligatory 5 times a day but voluntary Salaah can be performed throughout the day. Fast is obligatory in Ramadhan but voluntary fast can be kept throughout the year. Zakaat is obligatory once a year but charity can be given at any time. However, Hajj can only be performed on specific days. If one observes the rites of Hajj: standing on Arafaat, spending a night as Mudhdalifah, pelting of the Jamaraat etc. at any other time, it will not even be considered as a valid form of Ibadah. It has to be done in the specific days appointed by Allah and only then, will it earn reward.
The other act of worship is Qurbaani for which Allah has given us 3 days of Dhul Hijjah i.e. 10, 11 and 12. If anyone wants to perform Qurbaani outside these three days it will not be possible. Yes, as a form of Sadaqah one can slaughter an animal and distribute the meat but that will not be Qurbaani. Qurbaani can only be made in these 3 days. This is how Allah has given distinction to this time of the year.
In view of these virtues and the Ahadith stating the auspicious nature of the first 10 days of Dhul Hijjah, the Ulama have concluded that after Ramadhan-ul-Mubarak these ten days are the most superior time of the year when rewards of Deeds increase.To capitalise on the blessings of these days there are some acts of worship we can engage in:
1-We should fast as much as we can and in particular we should fast on the day of Arafah- the 9 the of Dhul Hijjah. Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said that if someone fasts on the day of Arafat I am hopeful that Allah will expiate his sins of one year before and one year after.(Ibne Majah)
2- Increase in the Dhikr of Allah in general. A specific Dhikr to be recited is the Takbir of Tashreeq which begins with Fajr on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah and continues till Asr on the 13th of Dhul Hijjah.
3- Perform Tahajjud Salaah- The worship of one night is increased to the worship of Lailatul Qadar(the night of power)
4- Offer the Qurbaani-Aaisha Radiyallahu Anha says that Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam said: During the 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah there is no action more loved by Allah Ta'ala than the blood shed from Qurbaani. On the day of Qiyamah those who made Qurbani will come forward with the hair, horns and hooves of these animals. The blood of the Qurbani is honourably accepted by Allah before it reaches the ground. Therefore make Qurbaani with a happy heart. {Trimizi}
May Allah grant us the ability to take maximum benefit from these days. May Allah grant us the blessings of these days and give us strength to fulfil his commands.

Hurricane Sandy Racking Havoc
At least thirteen people have been killed as super-storm Sandy slammed into the New Jersey coastline and hurled a record-breaking 4-meter surge of seawater at New York City.
The storm damage is projected at about $20 billion. It could prove to be one of the most devastating natural disasters in U.S. history.
The full extent of the storm's damage across the region was unclear. Heavy rain and further flooding remain major threats over the next couple of days as the storm makes its way into Pennsylvania and up into New York State. Our animosity for the American war mongering regime should not allow us to rejoice at the difficulties of the general public. May Allah help and protect all in America and elsewhere!
Fulfilling the need of a fellow Muslim
Hajj is without doubt among the most virtuous deeds in Islam. Unfortunately we all are not able to fulfil this great act of worship every year. It has become very difficult to receive accrediting for Hajj and we may not have the financial means or physical ability. This should never make us despondent. Allah Ta'ala out of his sheer kindness to us has not deprived us of this reward. We are able to do certain actions for which we will be granted the reward of an optional Haj
One such action has been mentioned by Imam Hasan Al-Basri Rahimullah. He said: "Your proceeding to fulfil the need of a fellow Muslim is better for you than one Haj after another!" (By Zabeedi (rahimahullah) in Sharhul Ihyaa, vol.6 pg.292)
Let us go out today and help someone either financially, physically or just with a kind word.

Q: Save video to disk from WebRTC MediaStream in Node I'm building an app where the user can connect to the server through a WebRTC (I'm using simple-peer library both server-side and client-side to set the peer-to-peer connection).
Once the client and the server are connected, the client app stream the user camera and micro to the server.
Now, I want to save the streamed data to the filesystem server-side as an MP4 video file.
I hear about ffmpeg  and fluent-ffmpeg to achieve this but i don't know how to use them.

*

*Server side code to set up the peer connection

const Peer = require("simple-peer");
const wrtc = require("wrtc");

const peer = new Peer({ initiator: false, wrtc: wrtc, trickle: false });

peer.on("error", (err: any) => console.log("error", err));

  peer.on("signal", (data: any) => {
    if (data.type === "offer" || data.type === "answer")
      dispatchMessage(JSON.stringify(data));
    // if (data.renegotiate || data.transceiverRequest) return;
  });

  peer.on("connect", () => {
    console.log("CONNECTED");
    peer.send(JSON.stringify("HELLO DEER PEER FROM SERVER"));
  });

  peer.on("data", (data: any) => {
    console.log("data: ", data);
  });

  peer.on("stream", (stream: MediaStream) => {
    console.log("-------Stream received", stream);
  });

  peer.on("track", (track: MediaStreamTrack) => {
    console.log("-------trackEvent:", track);
  });

*

*Client-side code

const stream = await window.navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia({
    video: { width: { ideal: 4096 }, height: { ideal: 2160 }},
    audio: true,
});

const p = new SimplePeer({
    initiator: isInitiator,
    trickle: false
});

stream.getTracks().forEach(track => p.addTrack(
    track,
    stream
));

// Here I set up the listeners for the peer connection

Pete Barrow: It is still true that catches win matches
FORGET the texts, forget the facebook broadcasts, quite simply forget Kevin Pietersen – there was a much more simple reason why England lost the three-match series against South Africa.
Pete Barrow
One of cricket's oldest adages – which was drummed into all of us who have played from the moment we started out at school – is that catches win matches.
As England have risen to the top in all forms of the international game we are all able to point to key innings or great spells of bowling, but throughout all this it has been some very safe pairs of hands in the field that have been the bedrock of success over recent seasons.
A side that fields sharply and holds their catches tends to have a bond and a confidence that is arguably more important than the actions of individuals.
So a quick summary of why England were replaced as the game's top test side by South Africa goes like this.
First test at the Oval Hashim Amla is dropped by England skipper Andrew Strauss at first slip on 40 – Amla goes on to make a further 271 runs.
Second Test at Headingley and Alviro Petersen is on 29 when he is put down at second slip by Alistair Cook and added 153 more runs to his score.
In the final Test at the Oval wicketkeeper Matt Prior misses a chance to remove Amla on two and the batsman ends up with 121.
And also at the Oval AB de Villiers enjoyed a partnership of 95 with Amla making 43 after Jimmy Anderson put him down on eight.
Whatever conclusions the England camp come to in the wake of the series, I would suggest the first thing they do is get out on the field and work on tidying up their fielding – particularly their catching.

Faith community rallies outside Supreme Court in call to uphold right to choice
by Anthony Moujaes |	published on Mar 3, 2016
As the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments today, March 2, in what is considered the most significant case on abortion in decades, leaders of the United Church of Christ joined people of faith and the religious community to rally for the reproductive rights of women and to urge the eight justices to protect abortion access.
Denominational leaders, past and present, supported an interfaith effort of more than 80 religious organizations that affirm the right for women to access safe, legal abortion care. That effort has support from 19 faith traditions, including Catholic, Episcopal, Muslim, Jewish, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Unitarian Universalist communities.
"I want to signal my strong support for the rights of women to have fully funded and readily accessible health care options for all matters relating to their reproductive health," said the Rev. John C. Dorhauer, UCC general minister and president. "I am profoundly disappointed in what appears to be a concerted effort to remove choice and access from women, leaving them with fewer and fewer options. I call upon people of faith, of good will, and of conscience to remain vigilant against all efforts to dismantle women's health options."
Dorhauer was also one of 1,300 faith leaders to sign an amicus brief — a legal brief to the court from those with an interest to the case, but not a party to it — that argued that "many religious traditions recognize and support the moral right of each woman to make her own decisions about her pregnancy in accordance with her faith and conscience."
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in the case Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt, which challenges a Texas law that could close more than 75 percent of abortion clinics in the state. But without the vote of Justice Antonin Scalia, who died in February, the court could be evenly divided on the matter, 4-4. That outcome would mean the lower court decision would stand and Texas law HB2 would remain in effect.
The denomination has supported reproductive justice issues since the 1960s, and the General Synod of the UCC has adopted nine resolutions and statements on a woman's freedom of choice.
After the Supreme Court's landmark decision in 1973, Roe v. Wade, legalized abortion in the U.S., the UCC has joined with other faith groups to speak in support for women's equal and fair access to abortion and family planning services.
The Rev. Linda Jaramillo, previous executive for UCC Justice and Witness Ministries, said reproductive justice is an issue the denomination has "held strong" since the first General Synod resolution on the topic in 1971. Jaramillo also doesn't want to see social policy shifts that "turn back the calendar 50 years on women's rights."
"What occurs to me, and what concerns me, is this continual picking away at the right for women to make a choice. Lower courts are limiting women's choice on such minor things that seem minor, but actually turn into major barriers. The dismantling of Roe v. Wade would be a tragedy for the country," said Jaramillo, who is one of many UCC representatives on the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Justice.
"People may not realize what this limitation could mean. Those most marginalized by financial constraints are the most impacted, because they don't have access to better care," she said. "The Supreme Court hearings are a way for us as people of faith to step up and call for the rights of women, and for them to make choice about their reproductive health."
A decision on the case is expected sometime before the end June.

Mix FM Salvador é uma estação de rádio brasileira concessionada no município de Camaçari, porém sediada em Lauro de Freitas, ambas cidades do estado da Bahia. Opera no dial FM, na frequência 104.3 MHz, sendo afiliada à Mix FM. Pertence ao Grupo Lomes de Comunicação, que controla diversas emissoras de rádio na Bahia e em Sergipe. A emissora é originada do dial AM, onde operou na frequência 1050 KHz. Seus estúdios estão localizados no bairro de Vilas do Atlântico, em Lauro de Freitas, e seu sistema irradiante está localizado na BA-099, no bairro de Abrantes, em Camaçari.

História

Rádio Metropolitana (1987–2007)
A emissora foi fundada em junho de 1987 como Rádio Metropolitana, sendo sediada em Camaçari. Inicialmente, operava na frequência AM 1050 quilo-hertz. Em 1997, a emissora passa a ser controlada pelo mesmo grupo que também administrava a TV Camaçari na cidade, integrando a Rede Camaçari.

No final da tarde do dia 16 de dezembro de 2004, funcionários da emissora invadiram a sede da Rede Camaçari para protestar contra atrasos de salário. A Rádio Metropolitana, juntamente com as então emissoras irmãs Camaçari FM e TV Camaçari, foi retirada do ar, e os funcionários afirmaram que as emissoras só teriam as atividades normalizadas após o pagamento dos salários.

Aquisição pelo Grupo Lomes e multiplas afiliações (2007–2017)
A rádio foi adquirida pelo Grupo Lomes de Radiodifusão em 2007, devido aos diversos problemas financeiros enfrentados pela Rede Camaçari. A partir de sua aquisição, a emissora passa a ser a primeira afiliada à CBN na região de Salvador, em março.

A afiliação da CBN com a emissora dura até 5 de dezembro de 2009, quando a emissora assume a nomenclatura Rádio Notícias. A nova fase da emissora tinha comando do pastor e deputado federal Milton Barbosa, e tinha programação essencialmente religiosa, com várias congregações dividindo espaço na programação. A emissora também transmitia um programa jornalístico apresentado por Ruy Spinola. No entanto, a emissora interrompe suas atividades em meados de 2010.

Em janeiro de 2012, após 2 anos fora do ar, a emissora retoma as suas transmissões e se afilia à rede Jovem Pan. A afiliação é mantida até 2014, quando a emissora passa a ser uma afiliada da Transamérica Hits.

Em 2017, é encerrada a afiliação com a Transamérica Hits, e a emissora passa a se chamar Rádio Regional. No entanto, acaba por ser desativada para iniciar o processo de migração do AM para o FM.

Rádio Globo (2018–2021)

Em janeiro de 2018, foi confirmado que a futura FM passaria a ser afiliada à Rádio Globo. Em 30 de novembro de 2018, encerrado o período experimental, a emissora é oficialmente reinaugurada, contando com uma nova sede.

Em 2019, a emissora passa a ampliar a sua programação local, e deixa de transmitir parte da programação da rede para estrear a versão local do Tá Rolando Música, na faixa vespertina. No mesmo ano, com o reposicionamento da rede, passa a adotar o formato popular.

Digital FM (2021–2022)

Com o fim da rede, em junho de 2020, a Rádio Globo Salvador passa a operar de forma 100% local, junto com a Rádio Globo Feira de Santana. Em 5 de abril de 2021, passa a ser chamada de Rádio Globo Digital, iniciando assim o processo para a transição de marca. Em 1 de agosto, a emissora adota oficialmente a nomenclatura Digital FM, e lança uma nova programação.

Mix FM (2022–presente)
Em 18 de fevereiro de 2022, foi confirmada a afiliação da Digital FM com a Mix FM, promovendo o retorno da rede em Salvador e no estado da Bahia quase dois anos após a desafiliação da Baiana FM, em 2 de julho de 2020. A estreia da nova afiliada estaria prevista para o mês de março. Em 29 de abril, foi confirmado que a estreia oficial ocorreria no dia 16 de maio. A fase de expectativa iniciou no dia 1 de maio com músicas e chamadas da estreia, porém ainda citando o nome Digital FM.

No dia 13 de maio, às 13h, a emissora entrou em rede com a Mix FM para realizar testes antes da estreia oficial. No dia 16, deu início à programação local às 6h com o Jornal da Mix, tendo programação musical local das 8h às 11h e 19h às 21h. No mesmo dia, ocorreu a estreia oficial, às 18h, durante o Mix Tudo.

Programas
Além de retransmitir a programação nacional da Mix FM, a Mix FM Salvador produz e transmite os seguintes programas:

The Commander of the Confederate Secret Service Camp 1710 requests the honor of your presence at the 86th Annual Helldorado Days Parade on 23 October 2016 in Tombstone, Arizona Territory CSA. If you wish to rent a horse, please contact Curt Tipton. Please RSVP if you plan to attend. See Flyer below for more information.


Looting and rioting in England. Revolution and civilian massacres in Libya and Syria. Northern European countries itching to secede from the Union in order to effect an efficient Eurozone workout. Emerging elements of the third millennium, the tech revolution and global trade are flowering and festering into a glorious, yet tawdry and tremulous new modern age.
The San Diego redistricting process rumbles along, on a bumpy road whose hopeful terminus is a place of constructive representation free of gerrymandering. Bumpy roads are literally par for the course. Our lovely community is faced with macro-economic uncertainty and unprecedented financial weakness at the levels of federal, state and local governments.
As the world seems to be falling apart, La Jolla is showing signs of coming together. Tuning up at the music festival, jitterbugging at concerts in the park, wading with friendly sharks, going on picnics, cycling, swimming, surfing, toasting the green flash at a coastal cookout all tend to evoke happy days and a sunny atmosphere. This summer's cycle of community cultural events, fine weather and even finer civic meetings is bringing new encouragement and hope to the heart of this volunteer.
Assisted by Maryam Baksh and a busy board of directors, the La Jolla Village Merchants Association's new executive director, Rosemary Murrieta, is directing the organization along the lines of success and true community sustainability under the catchphrase "Bring the Village back to La Jolla." In addition to creating special events and methodically attracting and supporting healthy new businesses, the group is building a new website and bringing friendly, beautiful, posh green village branding to a hopeful new La Jolla generation. The group is resolutely pursuing community partnerships, infrastructure improvements, beautification, and a sweeping new set of green initiatives aimed at further developing La Jolla as a uniquely pleasing, healthy, friendly, fascinating, fashionable, fun and sustainable community.
The venerable La Jolla Town Council (60 years old this year) is tasked with the mission to be a unifying voice for La Jolla. Working with dedicated trustees, newly appointed Executive Director Valerie Strocco is boosting morale all around, creating and anchoring successful initiatives and coordinating steady flight for the Town Council as it laboriously lurches back towards financial solvency.
In both organizations, a fine cast and crew of hardworking employees, volunteer citizens, trustees and directors is increasingly evolving into a vital, dynamic and demographically representative gang of La Jollans all working together, pooling and pulling together, synch and swim.

Glassy Glebe Road Project Wins Office Building of the Year Award
February 6th, 2013 | Category: Featured News
Located in Arlington, Va., 800 North Glebe Road, which features more than 78,000 square feet of glass, was named the 2012 Speculative Office Building of the Year by the National Association of Industrial and Office Properties, Northern Virginia in the four stories and above category. The award was presented to developer and owner The JBG Companies of Chevy Chase, Md. Designed by architect Cooper Carry of Alexandria, Va., Owatonna, Minn.-based Viracon supplied the glazing for the project. Other team members included Clark Construction Group LLC of Bethesda, Md., and Minneapolis-based Harmon Inc.
The building façade features a glass curtainwall with stainless steel accents. The 10-story, mixed-use office building has 316,000 square feet of Class A space and features a 10-story curtainwall façade. For the façade and other parts of the building, VRE15-59 and VRE1-46 were used in vision and spandrel sections, allowing for views down North Glebe Road and Wilson Boulevard.
The project earned LEED Gold certification from the U.S. Green Building Council for utilizing a variety of sustainable materials and meeting high-performance criteria, such as maximized daylighting and views.
"From the beginning, we knew that 800 North Glebe would be special," says Kevin Anez, director of marketing for Viracon. "It is an honor to see so much of our glass on such an innovative, responsibly-designed building."

Macheca organizes paramilitary 'club'
Group of 'white citizens' backs overthrow
of Republican government in Louisiana
Joseph P. Macheca, a produce importer and steamship line owner allied with Louisiana conservative Democratic interests, on the evening of September 9, 1874, called to order an organizational meeting of the white supremacist Cosmopolitan Democratic Club of the City of New Orleans.
A press report by the Daily Picayune indicated that the meeting, held at Royal and Orleans Streets, drew a large number of "foreign citizens," including immigrants from Italy, Austria and Spanish-speaking countries. (The Royal and Orleans location is behind the landmark St. Louis Cathedral and about one city square from the Orleans Ballroom, where Macheca's violently racist Innocenti organization regularly met six years earlier.)
The new group supported a resolution that was starkly racist:
Whereas it behooves all good citizens to take part in the approaching campaign, in order to redeem the State of Louisiana, and relieve her from the present usurpation - Be it resolved, That we, as white citizens, do form ourselves into a Democratic club, to be known as the "Cosmopolitan Democratic Club" of the city of New Orleans.
Daily Picayune, Sept. 10, 1874.
At the time - the Reconstruction period following the Civil War - a liberal Republican Party (known in the South as "Radical Republicans" and "Black Republicans") encouraged African American voter registration, while an entrenched conservative Democratic Party fought to maintain the status quo. Backed by President Ulysses Grant, a Republican-dominated Congress in Washington, D.C., and the federal military, Republicans controlled the postwar Louisiana state government (the "present usurpation" referred to in the resolution). Within New Orleans, the Democratic establishment embraced white immigrants, then arriving in increasing numbers, in an effort to offset the new voting power of the Republicans.
When the Cosmopolitan Democratic Club elected officers, Macheca was selected as grand marshal. Today that position would be the ceremonial leader of parades, but it had a more military function in 1874. All present at the meeting must have recalled Macheca's leadership of the Innocenti's bloody marches through African-American neighborhoods during the 1868 election season.
The military purpose of the Cosmopolitan Democratic Club became evident less than a week later, as "Captain Macheca" and his men participated in a large-scale insurrection against Republican state government. The revolt was organized by the Crescent City White League, a network of paramilitary groups (like the Cosmopolitan Democratic Club) that was led by former Confederate officers.
Macheca's force played a pivotal role in routing state militia and New Orleans Metropolitan Police in the September 14, 1874, conflict recalled as the Battle of Liberty Place. The victory was short-lived, as federal troops were quickly moved into New Orleans to restore Republican control.

New Orleans removes Liberty Place monument
Early this morning (Monday, April 24, 2017), city of New Orleans workers dismantled and removed the Liberty Place monument, commemorating the 1874 battle between local conservative militias and Louisiana's Reconstruction Era government.
The battle occurred after the validity of state election results was questioned by both major political parties. Rival election boards announced the election of different governors, and competing state legislatures were assembled. For months, the political situation worsened as rival groups prepared for armed conflict.
Joseph P. Macheca, the subject of Deep Water: Joseph P. Macheca and the Birth of the American Mafia, captained a force of Sicilian immigrants that played a pivotal role in the battle and helped conservative Democratic "White League" forces to rout the well-armed Metropolitan Police, comprised largely of Republican-aligned African Americans and led by superintendent Algernon Badger, and a Republican state militia commanded by former Confederate General James Longstreet.
Following the battle, U.S. President Ulysses Grant ordered federal troops into New Orleans to restore Reconstruction government control. The conflict has been referred to as the last battle of the U.S. Civil War.
Liberty Place monument at its original location,
the "neutral ground" median on Canal Street.
The "Liberty Place" monument - a 35-foot white stone obelisk - was installed in the center of Canal Street in 1891. (In that same year, Macheca and ten other men held at Orleans Parish Prison were attacked and murdered by a mob.) A white-supremacist message was inscribed upon the structure decades later. Controversy surrounded the monument and its racist inscription. That inscription was subsequently covered by a carved stone plaque dedicating the monument to those killed on both sides of the 1874 conflict.
Due to a Canal Street construction project 28 years ago, the obelisk was removed. There was a considerable argument over whether it should be replaced. Several years later, it was installed at a less visible location on Iberville Street. It remained a divisive symbol for the community.
The Liberty Place monument was the first of four Confederate Era monuments scheduled for removal in the city. New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu told the press yesterday (April 23), "There's a better way to use the property these monuments are on and a way that better reflects who we are."

The old man was accompanied by his grandchild. He is nothing but a poet. The thermosiphon is turned off. He respects you. I was curious to know why people had been staring at me. We have reports to write. You'd better ask Jeffrey. You should take an umbrella with you. I'd like an honest answer. I never said it was such a big deal.
The floor was very cold. A bulldozer was used to level the lane. I'd like a Bloody Guido. I just flew in on business. Good afternoon. Excuse me, I'm looking for the Loreta. She slipped her arm into his. I asked them to come. God must love the rich or he wouldn't divide so much among so few of them. This is my last review. It's ready.
What's bugging Adrian? I don't want to go if you don't go with me. I came in early. This agreement was confirmed by three companies. What's his name? I can't tell you how I love you. They can't assist you if you don't have your receipt. Is this good enough for you? Jon readily accepted the offer. Those children are potential customers.
She would like to have another cup of coffee. Don't speak to Giles like that. What will your husband do for three days in Prague? What're you up to? How many of your students are here? Do I have permission? I had the strangest dream last night. You need to tell me the truth. No matter what you do, you must follow the correct order. Tony can run fastest in our class.
I think you shouldn't tell Myrick the truth. Are those guys from your school? You haven't been waiting all that long. Are you responsible for this? I have gray hair. I feel wonderful. I don't want to talk about it. You have a good reason to be angry. This is infuriating. Products, whose prices have been reduced, are not returnable.
She never managed to pay the bill on time. I wonder what all of them have in common. I think I can come over this afternoon. I'd like one ticket, please. I was in the front seat. Which one of you is Blair's doctor? Gail never knew my name. I share your concern. I should've gone there with you. Do you want to learn or not?
All they had to do was show up on time. Is there any part of my life Belinda didn't tell you about? Edinburgh is my favourite place in the world. There's something going on. Don't put the table so close to the wall. How long are you going for? Don't squeeze any more into the trunk. Some people are afraid of spiders. How many sentences can you translate per day? I've cooked you a nice hot dinner.
And his disciples put their faith in him. I've only been waiting for five minutes. I love the feeling I get when the wind rustles between the trees and tenderly stirs all around me. Horst is getting stronger. Your efforts are futile. Kristian believed everything I told him. He figured out a principle. What the hell are you doing in here? Why wouldn't it work now? I must have gained some weight. My jeans' button is really tight.
The ship soon came into view. I want her fired. Hwa urged Justin to resign. Quite a few people turned out for the event. It couldn't just be a coincidence. We should make sopa paraguaya. We're going to the bar. Thirdly, if you don't put in the effort and challenge difficult things, there is nothing in the world at which you will succeed. Drinking alcohol on the street or in parks is illegal in most of the United States. I went to the shop.
Winnie probably thought I wasn't going to be here. Archie exercises. Teresa boarded a bus bound for Boston. They detest Renu. The house costs double what it did before. He draws straight lines. How do you travel to work? This is an old book. How many people? Then they picked dandelions and put them in their ears.


A former speechwriter for President Bill Clinton and the executive director of the Citizenship and American Identity Program at the Aspen Institute, Liu is one of the nation's most important thinkers. Born in Poughkeepsie, New York, to Taiwanese parents, Liu is the founder and CEO of Seattle-based Citizen University which promotes bottom-up citizen power, stronger leadership, respectful dialogue and positive change.
My friend has learned a lot about power, and he shares the lessons in his new book, "You're More Powerful Than You Think: A Citizen's Guide to Making Change Happen." The idea came from a TED talk that Liu gave in August 2014 that has now been viewed more than 1 million times.
In the book, Liu uses simple but useful analogies to break down what power is, where it comes from, why you need it, and how you get it. From his vantage point, Americans are fulfilling an ancient Chinese curse by living in interesting times – making our way through an age when the old rules don't apply. Amid the collapse of familiar institutions and crumbling of power structures, we are in uncharted territory. And change is happening, on both the right and the left. From the election of Trump to "Black Lives Matter" and the Dreamers, ordinary people are doing extraordinary things.
No argument here. But I'm interested in deliverables, and what is being accomplished. The slogan of every movement is something like: "We have power. Respect us." That doesn't mean it's true.
Still, I sensed that, after years of fishing in the pond of ideas, Liu had hooked a big one. And so I tracked him down on his book tour so he could tell me about it.
Arguing that insurgents really have very little power to affect change, I asked him about what we see in any congressional race where you either have an incumbent who is a shoo-in for re-election or an open seat with an establishment-backed preferred candidate who steamrolls the competition.
The way Liu sees it, there is more to measuring political impact than the numbers on the scoreboard. For instance, he said, while Sanders didn't manage to pry the Democratic nomination away from Hillary Clinton, he did succeed in "shifting the debate" and advancing his issues.
Since he worked in the White House, I asked Liu when Washington became this place where good smart people go to do nothing. He laughed.
For Liu, getting things done begins with getting out of your comfort zone and meeting people with different views.
This sounds familiar. It's what Sen. Robert Kennedy, in a famous speech in South Africa, called the "numberless diverse acts of courage and belief" that shape human history.
Liu's latest act of courage and belief is that he has written an important book on a topic – power – that Americans need to understand better. He has a message for us. And we'd be wise to listen.

Former Herald owner, golf club in clash over South Auckland rezoning plans
Justin Latif | Staff writer
Ex-member of the exclusive Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club and former New Zealand Herald owner Michael Horton has broken ranks with his former golf-playing peers to call out the club on plans to reduce the amount of rates it pays.
Retired newspaper publisher Michael Horton and a small group of concerned South Auckland residents are crying foul over a golf club's request to rezone its property.
The Papatoetoe-based Royal Auckland and Grange Golf Club (RAGGC) wants to change 80 hectares of its beautifully manicured land from its current residential zoning to be an Open Space – Sport and Active Recreation zone, which people have until December 17 to make submissions on.
Michael Horton, a former member of the 125-year-old golf club, has spoken out against the move, given the rezoning doesn't change the public's access to the land and it relieves the club of a hefty rates bill.
"My main concern [if this plan change goes ahead] is they will occupy 80 hectares of prime land in the middle of South Auckland. There should be an opportunity for the public to use the space, that's heavily subsidised by the ratepayer, in an area which has very little public amenity," he told The Spinoff.

Respect Our Community Campaign (ROCC), a group of local residents from the Papatoetoe, Ōtāhuhu and Māngere area who speak up on issues they believe are detrimentally impacting it, say the land is perfectly located for housing, given its proximity to Middlemore hospital, schools, a railway station and the motorway.
"I don't see why we should be subsidising these guys," said ROCC's Donna Wynd. "If it's zoned residential, they should be paying residential rates, and the land should be used for housing."
Horton, who is best known for his involvement in Wilson and Horton Ltd, the former publisher of the New Zealand Herald, of which he was managing director for 27 years, said the plan change follows on from the club's large redevelopment project that has cost $66 million so far.
"I've been in conflict with them for about five years over the whole thing," he said. "I initially opposed what they wanted to do, because they initially said it would cost $13 million, and then it ended up being a $66 million project. It's a massive expenditure for a game of golf. They're not building a hospital or something, it's just a game of golf."
Prior to applying for the plan change, the club sold off sections of its land, then redeveloped its site to increase the course from 18 to 27 holes, while also building a brand new clubhouse. Horton says the dispute turned toxic and he finally quit the club earlier this year.
"Their response to me felt pretty violent. When I've gotten up at meetings to suggest what they're doing is inappropriate, I've been met with boos and hisses. It's all pretty ugly," said Horton.
"There's a bunch of guys who, regardless of cost or anybody else, were going to do what they wanted to do, because they wanted to create the best golf course in Australasia and they wanted the kudos for it – that's my assumption of it.
"When you see the course, it's a joke, really. It's got years of settling in before you even get a first-rate course. But these guys who took control have very little experience of business or golf course management or anything other than their egos."
Horton's ideal outcome would be for part of the course to be turned into a public park.
"The additional area where the extra nine holes is to be completed should instead be made available to residents who live in one of the country's most deprived and under-resourced populations," he said.
According to Grant Hewison, a lawyer who specialises in the Resource Management Act and a supporter of ROCC, it would be very difficult to force the club to use its private land for anything other than what it wishes, but council needs to understand what is lost if the plan change goes ahead.
"While the owners of land zoned for residential purposes probably cannot be legally compelled to use it for the purposes of residential housing or publicly accessible park, in a housing crisis, they should be paying for the opportunity cost of not doing so," said Hewison.
And he says the legal argument for denying this plan change is clear.
"Auckland Council should turn down this proposed plan change as it will result in the loss of an area of residential zoning that is well located in relation to well-established community and transport infrastructure. Residential use is the most efficient and economic use of this land. This also aligns with the National Policy Standards on Urban Development and the Auckland Unitary Plan Regional Policy Statement, which aim to develop a well-connected compact urban form."
We have put a number of questions to RAGGC chief executive Rob Selley, and he has provided this response: "The club has always, and continues to, pay council rates. [And] no, the plan change does not relate to the construction of the clubhouse and golf course. They are already built."
Auckland Council has not responded to requests for comment.
The public can make their submission here.
Turning tragedy and trash into business triumph: The Saia Latu story
What to consider before fleeing Auckland for a small country town


Some apparently serious things are so absurd in themselves that it is hard to determine whether to laugh heartily at them, or cry for humanity. Or something of both. Religionists tend to produce some of the more compelling "parodies of themselves." Like the new Palestinian viral video "How to Stab a Jew". You just can't make this stuff up.
I understand this video is vile. But I think perhaps being horrified by it is the less healthy and effective response. Muslims want us to watch this video and be outraged and intimidated. But what if we just laughed at Islam instead? What if we refused to take seriously people who actually believe that Satan pees in your ear if you fall asleep during prayer? Wouldn't that be better?
Whatever you do, try for a moment to see that "How to Stab a Jew" like everything else done by Islamic extremists is a calculated attempt to look big and tough. Islamic men like the biggest watches, the biggest phones, the biggest cars. Think they're compensating for something? We need to stop feeding this garbage by being intimidated.
And that doesn't stop with Palestinian Jew-stabbing videas. When Kim Jong-whoever tells us all about how big his missile is, can we just laugh? When some people who may or may not have been from North Korea threaten violence in theaters over a movie as stupid as The Interview, can we just laugh? When Putin bare-backs a horse bare-chested, can we just laugh?
Sure, take things seriously. But take the right things seriously. Let's respond to terror with effective, calculated, reasonable, and defensive force, and leave off all this feckless outrage. Seriously.

Q: ion-nav-view with nested ion-nav-view not working I have a strange problem with ion-nav-view nesting. When I load the application in a browser, I can see the URL is getting changed to /app/menu, but no contents from menu.html appear on the page. The page is blank.
Following is the code snippet
index.html

 <ion-nav-view></ion-nav-view>

app.js
.config(function ($stateProvider, $urlRouterProvider) {
  $stateProvider.
    state("app", {
    url: "/app",

  })
    .state("app.menu", {
    url: "/app/menu",
    views: {
      "page-content": {
        templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
        controller: "MenuController"
      }
    }

  });

  $urlRouterProvider.otherwise("/app/menu");
})

default.html
<ion-view>
    <ion-content>
        <ion-nav-view name="page-content"></ion-nav-view>

Profile

       </ion-item>
      </ion-list>
    </ion-content>
</ion-view>

If I change the code in default.html to following it works.
<ion-side-menus enable-menu-with-back-views="false">
  <ion-side-menu-content>
    <ion-nav-view name="page-content"></ion-nav-view>
  </ion-side-menu-content>
</ion-side-menus>

Does than mean ion-nav-view either need tab or ion-side-menus? Can't it work with ion-view?

A: Try change the code:
.state("app.menu", {
url: "/app/menu",
views: {
  "page-content": {
    templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
    controller: "MenuController"
  }
}

to
.state("app.menu", {
url: "/menu",
views: {
  "page-content": {
    templateUrl: "templates/menu.html",
    controller: "MenuController"
  }
}

in hrefs continue write #/app/menu

EDIT:
Forgot to mention earlier, problem is non-linear; mostly quadratic, but occasionally may need non-quadratic constraints + non-quadratic objective

A: There are many packages, mostly with Matlab interfaces, like SDPT3, SeDuMi, and CVX. I believe the first two have their backends in C. The websites of these projects link to other packages. What language did you have in mind?

Q: Can't use variable from public Form2 in private void? namespace Bus
{
   public partial class Form2 : Form
   {
      public Form2()
      {
         InitializeComponent();
         string selectedItem=listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
      }

      private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         groupBox1.Text=selectedItem;
      }
   }
}

When I run this, I get an error for selectedItem in private void saying that  selectedItem does not exist in the current context.
Why is that? If I declare the string in public Form2(), shouldn't others be able to use it since it's public?

A: selectedItem is a local string for your Form2's constructor only. You need to either create it as a field or property for all components of your Form2 class to be able to access it.

A: define selectedItem as property or field:
namespace Bus
{
   public partial class Form2 : Form
   {
      public string selectedItem {get; private set}
      //private string selectedItem;

      public Form2()
      {
         InitializeComponent();
         selectedItem=listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
      }

      private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         groupBox1.Text=selectedItem;
      }
   }
}

A: Well, selectedItem is a local variable and can be used  locally only,  within the constructor scope in your case. Convert it into property:
namespace Bus
{
   public partial class Form2 : Form
   {
      public Form2()
      {
         InitializeComponent();
      }

      public String SelectedItem {
        get {
          if (null == listBox1.SelectedItem)
            return "";

          return listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString()
        }
      }

      private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         groupBox1.Text = SelectedItem;
      }
   }
}

A: You need to make it a class level field
namespace Bus
{
   public partial class Form2 : Form
   {
      private string  selectedItem;

      public Form2()
      {
         InitializeComponent();
         selectedItem=listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
      }

      private void listBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         groupBox1.Text=selectedItem;
      }
   }
}

A: there are a number of things you need to consider here
firstly any variable created inside a method can only be used inside that method
because of this you need to upgrade it from a local variable to a class variable
secondly how are are going to upgrade it it can be done in several ways
Field : this is generally used to things that are only needed inside the class not outside (though they can be declared public this is not best practice)
eg
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    private string selectedItem;

Property : Properties are used when fields need to be used outside the class or when you need addition control over what happens when data is got or set
eg
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    public string SelectedItem{get;set;}

Static : this is when you need to access the variable from every instance of a class not just the one its set in, static can be either a field or property
eg
public partial class Form2 : Form
{
    public static string SelectedItem{get;set;}

which you need is dependent on what you need to accomplish
also just because a class is public doesn't mean everything on it is public,
you might have things on it that are only useful inside the class (private)
only in the class or its descendent (protected)
only inside the project (internal)
or accessible to everything (public)
so you must set the access on each method or property separately (if you don't it will default to internal), properties allow you to set this for both the get and the set separately so you can have a property that anything can read from but only the class itself can change

The Earthquake PN-2515 is a universal surround speaker designed to complement the Platine Noire system. Not limited to one application, the PN-2515 can easily be used to create 2.1, 3.1, 5.1 and even 7.1 systems. In addition to its great flexibility, the PN-2515 integrates a new oval shaped bell port with aerodynamic lines that increases its sound quality and bass output. Extruded lines improve the way the air flows over the surface of objects, just like cars and planes. In the case of reflex ports, they offer a significant improvement over typical flare or circle ports by reducing air flow turbulence at each end of the port; so you get less sound degradation and less compression at high sound levels.
The PN-2515s versatility will allow consumers or installers to create several different systems for different applications, especially since it can mounted vertically or horizontally. And in addition to its flexibility, integrating these extravagant surround speakers into existing music or theater systems is easier than ever. Now your number one go to brand for "high-end" systems in Town homes, Condos, Apartments and even large Single Family Homes is a clear choice.
Reflex design with new aerodynamic oval shaped bell port, for fantastic sound quality and natural sounding bass.

Q: Handsontable change cell color with respect to the next cell of next column I have a handsontable as follows:
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#example1grid").handsontable({
    colHeaders: [],
  });

  var data = [
    ["2008", 10, 11, 12, 13],
    ["2009", 20, 0, 14, 13],
    ["2010", 30,35, 12, 13]
  ];

  $("#example1grid").handsontable("loadData", data);

});

What I need is:
My column B having values : 10,20,30 and column C -> 11,0,35
If value in cell C > value in cell B then background-color of cell B should be red else background-color of cell cell B should be green.
So in Result Cell B with values 10,30 -> RED and 20 -> Green
Check the fiddle: FIDDLE

A: Try:
$(document).ready(function () {

    $("#example1grid").handsontable({
        colHeaders: ["", "Kia", "Nissan", "Toyota", "Honda"],
      });

      var data = [
        ["2008", 10, 11, 12, 13],
        ["2009", 20, 11, 14, 13],
        ["2010", 30, 15, 12, 13]
      ];

      $("#example1grid").handsontable("loadData", data);
        //$('td').css('background-color', 'red');
    });
    Handsontable.hooks.add('afterRender', function(){
      var f = $('.htCore').find('tbody tr td:nth-child(2)');
      var s = $('.htCore').find('tbody tr td:nth-child(3)');
         f.each(function(i,v){
         if (s.eq(i).text() > $(v).text()) {
           $(v).css({'background':'red'});
         } else {
           $(v).css({'background':'green'});
         }
         });
    });

http://jsfiddle.net/2ra8gwa7/1/
or :
  $("#example1grid").handsontable("loadData", data);
    //$('td').css('background-color', 'red');
});
Handsontable.hooks.add('afterRender', function() {
var d = this;
var col1 = d.getDataAtCol(1);
var col2 = d.getDataAtCol(2);
$.each(col1,function(i,v){

 if (col2[i] > v ) {
  $(d.getCell(i,1)).css({'background':'red'});
 } else {
 $(d.getCell(i,1)).css({'background':'green'});
 }
});

http://jsfiddle.net/L77wjmk9/

A: Per my comment about a non DOM manipulating solution, here is one using native Handsontable methods:
http://jsfiddle.net/zekedroid/2ra8gwa7/2/
The important bit is the renderer. When trying to apply different rendering behavior, rather than manipulating the DOM after render, you should use these custom renderers:
function colorRenderer(instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
    Handsontable.renderers.TextRenderer.apply(this, arguments);

            // get reference to data
    var data = instance.getData();
    // grab the value of the current row at the column we want to compare to
    var valueAtC = data[row][2];
    if (valueAtC > value) {
        td.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
    } else {
        td.style.backgroundColor = 'green';
    }

    return td;
};

As you can see, all we have to do is apply this renderer to the B column only and so whenever any cell on that column is rendered, it'll check for the value at that same row, but on column C. Then we apply the changes to the td directly which ensures all Handsontable methods have access to THIS DOM element and not a manually manipulated one!


Ariana Grande dropped her latest single — "No Tears Left to Cry" on Friday.
It's the first single she has released since the Manchester, England terrorist attack that took place at Grande's concert in May 2017 and killed 22 people.
In the music video for "No Tears Left to Cry," the final scene shows Grande sitting in the grass and a bee briefly flies away.
Fans think the bee is a nod to the Manchester attack, since the worker bee is a symbol of the city and included on the Manchester coat of arms.
Ariana Grande released her first single since the Manchester, England bombing that took place at her concert in May 2017— and her fans are convinced that the "No Tears Left to Cry" music video includes a tribute to the attack.
At the very end of the music video, Grande is seen sitting on a field of grass and throwing a ball for a dog to fetch. As the dog chases it, a bee appears and flies out of the frame.
After fans watched the video, many were quick to point out that particular scene, and say that the bee is a nod to the Manchester attack.
In Manchester, the bee is a symbol of strength and hard work. Its origin dates back to the Industrial Revolution that took place in the 1800s and is part of the Manchester coat of arms.
Fans have been taking to social media to praise the singer for including a bee in the video.
After a terrorist attack occurred at Grande's Manchester concert last year, the singer suspended her Dangerous Woman World Tour. It was also reported that some of Grande's backup dancers got bee tattoos in honor of the incident.
Grade later held a benefit concert,re-released "One Last Time" as a charity single, and released a live version of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." The concert raised millions of dollars for the We Love Manchester emergency fund, but Grande has remained relatively clear of the spotlight since then.
Most recently, she performed at a March For Our Lives rally in March 2018.
With the release of "No Tears Left to Cry," it is speculated that Grande will release her fourth studio album later this year.

The petrol version of the Volvo V40 Cross Country has been launched in India at Rs 27 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The V40 Cross Country T4 is the new entry-level model for the Swedish manufacturer and has been launched to cash in on the growing popularity of premium compact crossovers in the Indian market.
The V40 Cross Country T4 is powered by a Ford-sourced 1,596cc turbocharged four-pot GDTi engine. While this engine is internationally offered in two states of tune, the sole variant launched in India produces 178bhp and 240Nm of torque, which has 0-100kmph time of 7.7 seconds and a top speed of 224kmph. This engine comes mated to a six-speed automatic transmission.
Aesthetically, the V40 Cross Country T4 is identical to the other diesel variants, and it continues to sport the futuristic design. The interior of the V40 Cross Country has been designed with a strong emphasis on ergonomics and comfort. It is available with a new, fully graphic instrument cluster that be customised in three graphic themes - Elegance, Eco and Performance. It also gets a seven-inch touch screen display with 'Sensus' infotainment system, which enables telephony and internet connectivity, along with a number of other functionalities in the car.
Volvo cars are highly regarded for their safety features and the V40 Cross Country is no different. It comes with a host of safety systems like lane keeping aid, blind spot information system (BLIS), cross traffic alert, road sign information support, speed alert function, active high beam technology, adaptive cruise control, distance alert, queue assist function, pedestrian and cyclist detection and pedestrian airbag technology. The Volvo V40 Cross Country can also alert and automatically brake in case it detects a risk of collision with another vehicle in front.
The V40 Cross Country T4 petrol is Volvo's first car to sport a sub-Rs 30 lakh price tag and will be given the responsibility of driving up the volumes in the Indian market. With this price tag, the V40 Cross Country competes with other niche hatchbacks and crossovers like the Mini Countryman, BMW 1 Series and the Mercedes-Benz B-Class.

Disclaimer: I have in the past been called an Apple fanboy. I resent that term on the basis that I like Apple for a very good reason: they take design seriously. I've been using the iOS7 beta for the past few months, and I've got some definite opinions.
Being a front-end web developer in the current time means that I have to take mobile seriously. I feel like it's an investment not only in my skill set, but also in the future-proofing of the sites I create. This being the case, I installed the beta the second it was available, as Apple is by far the leader in the mobile web. Yes, I know that there are more Android devices, but Apple users visit the web on their devices far more than their Android counterparts. We clear on this? Good.
While I was expecting most of the changes (I watched the Keynote live), having them in my hand and affecting the way I use my device makes them much more tangible and real. There are a lot of tech folks out there who are critiquing the initial beta like they would a final version of the software, but I am trying to look beyond the obvious kinks and see where Apple truly intends to go with their new OS. That's why I'm writing this after using iOS7 (in beta) all summer. Long story short: I like what I see.
For a beta, there's a lot of polish.
Seriously, I've used beta software in the past (including a few of the previous iterations of iOS) and I have to say, the level of fit and finish in iOS7, especially considering that everything is more or less brand new, is quite astounding. It's all in the details—things like showing the phone's background wallpaper through a pressed button in the phone app, dynamically changing the color of the text in the OS and sensing where each icon is on your screen when you zoom in and out make everything quite dynamic.
It's much more personal than any previous version of iOS.
While I hesitate to use too many emotional terms when describing software, iOS7 has a much more personal and approachable feel than the previous version. Everything adapts to your usage style and visual choices seamlessly. My iPhone feels much more like my iPhone and less like one of millions.
The progressive betas have eliminated almost all major issues.
While I love a lot of the new visual treatments and features, there have been plenty of hitches as development progressed this summer. However, the Gold Master is going to be more or less pristine—of that we can be sure. Apple is far too much a lair for perfectionists to allow any less. Especially with Sir Ive at the helm.
The changes are more than visual.
It's quite obvious visually that this is a major overhaul of iOS, but the changes are more than superficial. Apple added a ridiculous 1500 developer APIs in iOS7, so it's obvious that they are addressing more than the look and feel—they're continuing to push the use-cases for apps beyond what both other mobile OSes and the web are capable of.
A lot of apps are about to change their design style.
Regardless of anyone's opinion on the matter, Apple is not only an innovator, but also a style-leader. When they change the way that they're designing, be it hardware or software, many folks follow suit. This is particularly true in the area of app design. When iOS was heavily skeumorphic (iOS6 and previous) a lot of apps followed suit. Now that it's about to get a whole lot flatter, expect many app designers to adopt this approach as well.
The line between mobile and desktop will start to blur even more.
Apple, Microsoft and Google are all going this route—integration is the new technological black. However, Apple is probably the biggest influencer in the trio, as their ecosystem is arguably the most well maintained. As they further integrate iOS7 and its devices with the OSX ecosystem and its accompanying Mac hardware, expect for the two to continue becoming more similar to each-other, and for the industry to follow suit.
This is a make it or break it moment for Apple.
While change is usually a good (and necessary) thing, Apple is risking a lot here. Apple has as many fans as it does because users find their products easy to use. If iOS7 doesn't keep that ease of use (in my opinion it does, but I'm a dyed-in-the-wool techie), they're going to risk losing a large portion of those users to another mobile camp.
Regardless of any issues that are possible, I think that Apple is on the path to being an innovator in software again. iOS7 is definitely a combination of innovation and playing catch-up, but it's a massive step in the right direction. After almost 5 years of progressive enhancement, I'm excited to have something brand new - and yet familiar - to play with.

Jack took an interest in how Rouse's supermarket worker Jordan Taylor was filling the refrigerator with juice and milk cartons, and Jordan worked with him for over 30 minutes to teach him the new skill.
Jack's family says he is not very verbal, but they watched in wonder at this heartwarming interaction.
In a blog post on Love What Matters, Jack's brother Delaney says "instead of ignoring him or making an excuse as to why he couldn't help," Jordan allowed Jack to be a part of it "and didn't stop until Jack was satisfied."
The friendly customer service, they say, was an act of pure kindness, and one they will not soon forget. "That's pure, raw selflessness," Delaney says. "Let's find out who 'Jordan' at Rouse's on Drusilla is and hook him up with something awesome."
In fact the family has started a Gofundme page to help raise money to send Jack's new friend Jordan, who loves math and may want to be a teacher one day, to college.

A jaritataca, também chamada jaguacacaca, jaguaritaca, jaratacaca, jaratataca, jaritacaca, jeratataca, jeritataca, maratataca, maritacaca, maritafede, maritataca, tacaca ou cangambá (nome científico: Conepatus semistriatus) é um pequeno mamífero carnívoro da família dos mefitídeos (Mephitidae). Pode ser encontrada desde o sul do México até a região centro-sul da América do Sul. No Brasil, ocorre da região Nordeste. É comum nos cerrados, campos, caatinga, matagal de floresta seca e, ocasionalmente, florestas tropicais. A União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza (UICN) a classificou como espécie pouco preocupante (LC) em 2016. Apesar disso, se sabe que atropelamentos, a fragmentação e perda de habitat, predação por cães, uso de pesticida, comércio de pele e caça para subsistência (como medicamente e alimento) são ameaças à manutenção da espécie.

São animais pequenos, com cerca de 40 centímetros de corpo e 20 de cauda, pesando de 1,6 a 4 quilos. Sua cabeça é arredondada, o focinho é longo e sem pelo, o corpo é compacto e as patas dianteiras são negras e com garras longas. Sua cauda é volumosa e com coloração negra perto da base e branca na porção distal. Tem como arma de defesa a secreção de um líquido de odor bastante desagradável, que é produzido por uma glândula anal. Notívagos, solitários e onívoros, se alimentam principalmente de carcaças, frutos, insetos e outros invertebrados e pequenos vertebrados como anfíbios e serpentes, sendo imunes ao seu veneno.

Descrição
São animais pequenos, com cerca de 40 centímetros de corpo e 20 de cauda, pesando de 1,6 a 4 quilos. Têm a coloração preta ou marrom-escura, com uma listra branca saindo da cabeça antes de bifurcar no dorso e seguir paralela até a base da cauda. Sua cabeça é arredondada, o focinho é longo e sem pelo, o corpo é compacto e as patas dianteiras são negras e com garras longas. Sua cauda é volumosa e com coloração negra perto da base e branca na porção distal. Tem como arma de defesa a secreção de um líquido de odor bastante desagradável, que é produzido por uma glândula anal.

Distribuição e habitat

A jaritataca pode ser encontrada desde o sul do México até a região centro-sul da América do Sul. No Brasil, ocorre da região Nordeste. É comum nos cerrados, campos, caatinga, matagal de floresta seca e, ocasionalmente, florestas tropicais como a Mata Atlântica. Apresenta tolerância a ambientes perturbados, além de ser encontrada em áreas agrícolas como canaviais e eucaliptos.

Comportamento

As jaritatacas são animais notívagos e solitários. Onívoros, se alimentam principalmente de carcaças, frutos, insetos e outros invertebrados e pequenos vertebrados como anfíbios e serpentes, sendo imune ao seu veneno. Unem-se ao sexo oposto apenas durante o período de reprodução. A gestação dura cerca de 60 dias, podendo nascer de 4 a 5 filhotes.

Conservação

A União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza (UICN) classificou a jaritataca como espécie pouco preocupante (LC) em 2016. Apesar disso, se sabe que atropelamentos, a fragmentação e perda de habitat, predação por cães, uso de pesticida, comércio de pele e caça para subsistência (como medicamento e alimento) são ameaças à manutenção da espécie.
