Q: How to print a text file thru Printer print data by using C# window services how to print a text file based on given filename through a printer automatically with out any manual hand work it was doing in C sharp window services, it was not working for me , any one give me suggestions .
using System.Management;

    private Font printFont;
    private StreamReader streamToPrint;

 private void GetPrinters(string fileName)
    {

ManagementObjectSearcher searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher("SELECT * FROM  Win32_Printer");

        string printerName = "";
        foreach (ManagementObject printer in searcher.Get())
        {
        printerName = printer["Name"].ToString().ToLower();
        if (printerName.Equals(@"\\chenraqdc1.raqmiyat.local\hp laserjet black chennai"))
            {
              Console.WriteLine("Printer = " + printer["Name"]);
                 if (printer["WorkOffline"].ToString().ToLower().Equals("true"))
                    {
                         // printer is offline by user
                        label1.Text = "Your Plug-N-Play printer is not connected.";
                    }

                    {streamToPrint = new StreamReader(fileName);

                    printFont = new Font("Arial", 10);
                    PrintDocument pd = new PrintDocument();
                    pd.PrintPage += new PrintPageEventHandler
                       (this.pd_PrintPage);
                    pd.Print();

                    streamToPrint.Close();
                    }
            }
        }
     }
            private void pd_PrintPage(object sender, PrintPageEventArgs ev)
        {
        float linesPerPage = 0;
        float yPos = 0;
        int count = 0;
        float leftMargin = ev.MarginBounds.Left;
        float topMargin = ev.MarginBounds.Top;
        string line = null;

        // Calculate the number of lines per page.
        linesPerPage = ev.MarginBounds.Height /
           printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics);

        // Print each line of the file.
        while (count < linesPerPage &&
           ((line = streamToPrint.ReadLine()) != null))
        {
            yPos = topMargin + (count *
               printFont.GetHeight(ev.Graphics));
            ev.Graphics.DrawString(line, printFont, Brushes.Black,
               leftMargin, yPos, new StringFormat());
            count++;
        }

A: You can do something like this...
Note : this is sample code how to print pdf file using c# window services, if you want to print the text files you can change this code
Windows Form with a Button (cmdGetPrinters) and a ListView
   (lstPrinters). The list view has two columns defined - "Property" and
   "Value" which would describe the printers installed on the local
   machine. The following code does the magic.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data; System.Drawing;
using System.Text; System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;
using System.Management.Instrumentation;

public partial class frmPrintDisplay : Form
{
 public frmPrintDisplay()
 {
      InitializeComponent();
 }

 private void cmdGetPrinters_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     ObjectQuery query = new ObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_Printer");

     ManagementObjectSearcher mo = new ManagementObjectSearcher(query);

     ManagementObjectCollection printers = mo.Get();

    foreach (ManagementObject printer in printers)
    {
        PropertyDataCollection printerProperties = printer.Properties;
        string printerPath = printer.Path.ToString() ;
        PropertyDataCollection.PropertyDataEnumerator test =
            printer.Properties.GetEnumerator();

        while(! (test.MoveNext()== false ))
        {
            lstPrinters.Items.Add(
                new ListViewItem( new string[]
                {
                    test.Current.Name,
                    (
                        (test.Current.Value == null) ?
                        "n/a" : test.Current.Value.ToString()
                    )
                })
            );
         }
      }
    }
  }

This image shows the result of this small windows app. Note the "Name" property, this will be used to send the text file to the printer. This is shown under the "ShareName" property of the printer. On a test machine, which is also in the same domain/workgroup,you have to  install a new network printer, and pointed the installation to look at the shared printer on the first computer. This in effect made the first computer a printer server, and you able to closelly replicate the setup for the client.
Now onto the test machine... The application above mentioned code building saves the text files into a temporary directory called C:\Program Files[Application Name]\Temp\
  using System;
  using System.Collections.Generic;
  using System.ComponentModel;
  using System.Data; System.Drawing;
  using System.IO;
  using System.Text; System.Windows.Forms;
  using System.Management;
  using System.Management.Instrumentation;

 private void print(ref DirectoryInfo tempDir)
 {
   try
   {
    foreach(FileInfo file in tempDir.GetFiles("*.pdf"))
    {
        file.CopyTo("\\\\XYZ\\Phaser77\\" + file.Name);
    }
   }
   catch(Exception ee){ }
 }

i hope it will helps you

As we know Cell Biology demands the attention of students in understanding Cell at Molecular Level and concrete basic understanding but once done it only gets easier from there. Mastering in Below MCQ Questions on Algae should boost your NEET entrance exam Preparation.
This article leads you to hundreds of solved MCQ on Algae which is important topics important from NEET standpoint and Other Entrance Exams. The MCQ below lists different topics with corresponding Algae MCQ, facilitating smooth learning and search experience.
Important Points to Remember about Algae :
Algae are the chlorophyll bearing simple, thalloid, autotrophic and largely aquatic (both fresh water and are marine) organisms.
Most of the algae consists of chlorophyll, but they do not possess true stem, roots and leaves. Today more than 30,000 species of algae are identified and studied.
Algae generally occurs in a variety of habitats: moist stones, soils and wood. Some of them also occur in association with fungi (lichen) and animals (e.g., on sloth bear).
The form and size of algae is highly variable. The size ranges from the microscopic unicellular forms like Chlamydomonas, to colonial forms like Volvox and to the filamentous forms like Ulothrix and Spirogyra. A few of the marine forms such as kelps, form massive plant bodies.
The algae can reproduce by three ways vegetative, asexual and sexual methods.
Algae are classified based on the type of pigments and food reserves presentin the particular species. The difference in the pigments play a major role in determining the habitat distribution of the particular algal species. The algae are divided into three main classes: Chlorophyceae, Phaeophyceae and Rhodophyceae.
Most of Algae are very useful to man in a variety of ways in daily life. Near about half of the total carbon dioxide fixation on earth is carried out by algae through the process of photosynthesis. As we know they are photosynthetic due to that they increase the level of dissolved oxygen in environment it means they are primary producers of energy-rich compounds and food for all aquatic animals.
Many species of algae such as Porphyra, Laminaria and Sargassum are among the 70 species of marine algae used as food. Some marine brown and red algae produce large amounts of hydrocolloids (water holding substances), e.g., Algin (brown algae) and Carrageen (red algae) which are used commercially.
Agar one of the commercial products obtained from Gelidium and Gracilaria are used to grow microbes and in preparations of Ice-creams and Jellies.

Q: How many ways can a drummer with a varying amount of limbs play? I'm looking at the amount of possible combinations of single stroke rolls using varying amount of limbs.
Let's use these letters for reference

*

*R is right hand.

*L is left hand.

*r is right foot.

*l is left foot.

There is one variation for one limb: R. There are two variations for two limbs: RL
 and LR. There are six variations for three limbs:

*

*RLr

*RrL

*LRr

*LrR

*rRL

*rLR

I won't list them all, but there are 24 combinations for four limbs. Here is the first one:

*

*RLrl

*RLlr

*RrLl

*RrlR

*RlLr

*RlrL

That leads to the following ratios: $1:1$, $2:2$, $3:6$ and $4:24$. That would leave me to believe the next pair of numbers to continue the pattern would be $5:120$.
Is there an equation that I can use to solve for number of variations using different numbers of limbs using only one limb once?

A: You are trying to count, for each fixed number $n$  the number of ways to arrange the numbers $1, 2, 3, \dots, n$ in a sequence, using each number exactly once.  These are called permutations of $1, 2, 3, \dots, n$.  The number of permutations of $1, 2, 3, \dots, n$ is called "$n$ factorial", written $n!$, and is equal to $n! = (n) (n-1)(n-2) \cdots (2) (1)$. The reason is that you have $n$ choices to fill the  first position, $n-1$ choices to fill the second position, etc.

A: The pattern you posted so far matches:
F(1) = 1
F(X) = X * F(X-1)

A: The problem with all of the other answers you've received so far, is that you only have four limbs.  Based on the rules you have implied in your question, I see no reason to assume that there is only one way for the first variation.  You could, for example, do "R", but you could also do "L", or "l", or "r"--so in this case, I count four possibilities, not one.
Similarly, for two limbs, you seem to ignore the feet, but give no reason why.  For three limbs, you ignore the left foot.
In the case of using all four limbs, with the exception of the fourth outcome (which seems to be a typo), all of the outcomes you enumerated use "R", "L", "r", "l" exactly once, but it seems that order is important--at least, it would be if you count 24 outcomes as you claim.
Finally, you ask:

Is there an equation that I can use to solve for number of variations using different numbers of limbs using only one limb once? (emphasis mine)

This is clearly problematic:  if you can use each limb only once, it is impossible to have a variation that uses more than four limbs, unless you are not human, or have extra limbs, or are counting some other appendage as a limb.  So you need to think about what you actually mean by this statement.
For what it's worth, I count 4 variations for a single hit on the drum, 12 variations for two hits, 24 variations for three hits, and 24 variations for using all four limbs.  Variations with five or more hits are not possible--you don't have five limbs to use.

With our digital generation, more and more advertisers are turning to the internet for advertising purposes. This doesn't mean print is dead. Advertisers are just looking for more creative ways to stretch their print advertising budget. Especially for the fashion industry and businesses who advertise in trade publications, print advertising is still relevant. Here are a few ideas for your next print advertisement and how you can make readers interested in your advertisements.
I think we can all say that QR codes may be phasing out. That doesn't mean you can't have your print advertisement be interactive with mobile devices. These ads work best for businesses that have some kind of technology component. This can be anything from downloading an accompanying mobile app, integrating Snapchat, or text message code offers. Volkswagen came out with a test drive print ad for Norwegian magazines back in 2011. Readers could download an app that let them "test drive" a car on the printed road in the magazine.
Solar power isn't necessarily a new piece of technology, but more and more advertisers are integrating it into their print ads. This is especially useful for companies in the environmental industry or even companies that utilize the sun for business. Nivea came out with a magazine advertisement for their new suntan lotion line that doubles as a solar phone charger for the beach. Another great idea would be to create a black and white ad that changes color in the sun.
We've seen several great examples of companies utilizing the page fold to their design advantage. This also gives you a whole two page spread that the reader will definitely see as they're flipping through their magazine. We've all seen those pharmaceutical ads that just spread across the fold and don't utilize it for creative design. One good example of creative fold use is Apple's 2011 ad for the MacBook Pro Ultra Thin. The design makes the reader feel like they're looking at a real laptop.
More and more brands are using powerful photography to speak for their products and services. This is especially apparent for non-profits and charities who work off human emotion to initiate a response from their ads. Visuals dominate in advertising and using them could make or break how well your advertisement performs. WWF released a magazine ad with a photo of a polar bear in an auto garage with the message that the environment can't be simply fixed like a car. Readers typically won't read a lengthy message on a print advertisement. Your photos and design must speak for themselves.

Go Cubs
On Wednesday, I was in my bank here in Los Angeles, next in line, and saw a customer laughing with the teller about how "if the Dodgers win tonight, we can clinch it on Friday!" I put aside my first thought to close my account -- we *were* in L.A., after all, so they're hubristic enthusiasm was understandable -- and comforted myself knowing that if the worst happened and Chicago did lose, Cubs fans had 108 years to know how to handle it, but if the Dodgers collapsed it would be a living hell.
And so, indeed, the Cubs won on Wednesday night and then again last night. So, instead of starting out Wednesday down two games to one with the possibility of losing the series and not even getting back to Chicago, they are up three games to two, needing only one more win as they head home to Chicago for the final two games.
Cubs fans have not just been waiting for 108 years to win a World Series...they have been waiting 73 years just to get a chance to PLAY in a World Series. Cubs fans are indeed diehard -- and the vast majority of them have never even seen their favorite team play in a World Series. Ever. Yet still they follow the team, religiously. Both at home (where they draw 3 million fans in the tiniest ballpark in the National League) and even on the road. And when the team is actually reasonably good, like this year, they are are maniacal, as they have been all season.
After the game last night, Cubs manager Joe Maddon was in the post-game press room. In response to a question, he responded in a tone as dry as sand -- "Saturday should be electric in Chicago. I expect a sell-out."
And yes, he had a twinkle in his eye and laughed.
To be very clear, as Cubs fan who knows the history well, I don't head into these final return home as anything even close to a lock. On Saturday, they face pitcher Clayton Kershaw, arguably the best pitcher of the past decade -- who shut the Cubs out on only two hits in his last game the other day. And so the Dodgers should be favored. And if that means the series is tied three games each with one left, the final pitcher for the Dodgers will be Rich Hill, who shut the Cubs out on just two hits in his previous game, following Kershaw.
So...it's still a serious battle. But being up three games to two and back home is a position that's a whole lot better than on Wednesday morning. And so...we hopes.
Go Cubs.
Fun Fact about Cubs President Theo Epstein. His grandfather & great-uncle, Philip and Julius Epstein, wrote the movie classic, Casablanca.
Here's looking at you, Cubs.
Okay, so here's a bonus video from last night's game. A significantly important play. Dodgers slugger Andrian Gonzalez is leading off the inning. He lays down a bunt -- and if he gets on then the Dodgers start the inning with a man on first and nobody out. But one of my faves, a very young up-and-coming player who I've been yammering about for three years, despite not quite yet breaking through bigtime...until this series, Javier Baez makes an incredibly one-handed off-balance play to throw Gonzalez out by half a step. (He was initially called safe, but the review overturned that.)
But it's an even better play than most people think. Even me when I initially saw it. When I first watched the play, I did so normally, with my eye on the ball, like most people. But because of that, I missed what made the play even more remarkable than it came across the first time. It's where Baez was playing – you see, because the Cubs have a shift on for Gonzalez, Baez isn't play in the middle of the dirt infield as he usually would be, but is playing all the way out on the outfield grass! And he comes racing all the way in from there to make the play. I totally missed that the first time. So, if you watch it here, force your eyes away from the ball, and re-focus them on short right field where Baez is. And then coming running all the way in.

As a Padre fan, the Cubs better beat the Dodgers. I am concerned, however, that a Cubs/Cleveland World Series might be a sign of the Apocalypse.
Robert Elisberg
You do understand, as I think I may have mentioned on these pages at some point, having driven down to San Diego and back to Los Angeles three times in 1984 to see the Cubs lose three straight games in the division series, I really couldn't care less what Padres fans want or are concerned about...
Now, I wasn't going to bring that up. I keep that in reserve for when a Cubs fan ticks me off. Always works. Not as well as reminding a Dodger fan how they lost three straight at home to the Padres in 96; giving the division to San Diego. Their eyes go funny and they get very quiet. The Padres might not have any World Champion banners, but they've always been real good playing the spoiler.
Besides, your GM was poached from San Diego and Rizzo was developed in the farm system. Shouldn't that be enough to let 84 go?
That's so adorable of you -- coming up with ways to tick off someone whose team hasn't won in 108 years...
By the way, just so you know, it doesn't really tick off most Cubs fans as much as you think. We hate it, but if we were ticked off by every loss or collapse, we wouldn't be able to function.
I'm reminded of walking into the San Diego parking lot after the final game. A car went driving back, and some guy saw my Cubs hat and leaned out, shouting, "HEY CUBS FANS -- YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WAIT *ANOTHER* 39 YEARS TO GET INTO A WORLD SERIES!!!" And I had the presence of mind to calmly shout back, "And if we have to, we will."
The GM originally came from Boston, where he worked with Theo Epstein. And the reason they got Rizzo is because he too had been on Boston, but Theo Epstein and Jed Hoyer taded him and said they *always* wanted him back.
I know its all about the Boston connection; but it was still a boneheaded move by the previous owners to show Hoyer the door when he tried to turn the Chicago offer into a better contract and then gave him Rizzo in that trade once he was gone. If a GM wants to trade for the same guy twice, it should be a signal to keep him. Hoyer and the current ownership group's willingness to spend money would have been a great combination.
It wasn't a bad trade at the time by the Padres. The Cubs sent them one of their top pitching prospects, Andrew Cashner. And Rizzo the year before had spent some time in the majors as a rookie and only hit. about .140. And he had just recovered from Hodgkin's Disease a couple years before. When Theo Epstein traded Rizzo from Boston to San Diego, he told him that "I'm going to get you back at some point." The fact that he and Hoyer thought so highly of him does say something -- but Cashner was pretty good, and Rizzo was no certainty, on several levels. As for Hoyer, I suspect he well may wanted to re-join Epstein, regardless of what the Padres did. Maybe not. Me, I'm glad how it all worked out...
I love Rizzo. He probably won't win the MVP this year, though he's a contender. But as great and versatile as Bryant is, and I suspect is the odds-on favorite, Rizzo is really the heart of the ball club, and the team leader.
Rizzo might not win the MVP; but the way he and the Cubs have been playing, he just might wind up being the World Series MVP. As quickly as Cleveland took care of Toronto, they very well could be ice cold when the series starts. It will be interesting to see how history analyses this series. The executives who engineered Boston's modern championships verses the manager who guided that team to those championships.

MLB 12: The Show has a new bag of Tricks
By: | PS3 News | December 10, 2011
Anyone that follows baseball and its video games knows that MLB: The Show is the cream of the crop, and it's only available on PlayStation. The latest iteration of the game is currently in development at Sony's San Diego studios and features some surprising new tricks.
For starters, the game is featuring enhanced Move support. While MLB 11 only featured Move support in Home Run Derby, MLB 12 allows players to use Move controls to play the entire game. That's right, now you can pitch, bat, field and base run with the PlayStation Move. While you can switch your batting stance or pitching arm according to the player you are utilizing, the Move will also allow you to play with the arm you're most comfortable using regardless of your player. So if you're right handed, feel free throw right handed even though you're pitching with Clayton Kershaw.
If you think that's cool, we haven't begun to scratch the surface. MLB 12 is also coming to the Vita. Utilizing the PS3 and Vita connectivity, games can now be started on the PS3 and then transferred to the Vita to continue your game, season, etc. The game on Vita is unique in that a lot of the presentation fillers in the PS3 version have been removed to speed up the gameplay and make it more friendly for playing on the go. That means you'll be able to get more innings in during your commute to... well wherever it is that you're going.

EU food safety agency criticizes rabbit cages
Today, the EU food safety agency criticized the use of conventional cages for rabbit farming in a new study. We welcome this report and call on the European Commission to use the latest scientific evidence and improve the lives of rabbits in the EU.
In the new report, released today, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) concluded that the welfare of rabbits is lower in conventional cages, compared to other systems. The key welfare issue for adult rabbits is that their movement is restricted. EFSA also concludes that organic systems are generally good.
This study follows a request by the European Parliament. In 2017, following an enthusiastic campaign by the supporters of Compassion in World Farming, the European Parliament called on the EU Commission to propose new legislation with minimum standards for farmed rabbits, and asked EFSA to produce this scientific study.
"Today, the EU food safety agency issued a scientific opinion, shedding light on the hard fate of the millions of rabbits, silently suffering in cages across the EU for all of their lives," said Olga Kikou, Head of Compassion in World Farming EU. "We call on the new EU Commission to listen to the advice of this agency and take measures to better protect rabbits. This includes proposing new, species-specific legislation for rabbits, which is lacking at the moment. This would be a big win for animals across Europe, as rabbits are the second most farmed species in the EU in terms of numbers."
"We also call on the new European Commission to ban cages for all animals, including hens, sows, calves, ducks and geese," Olga continued. "When caged, these animals live in similarly miserable conditions and cannot perform the most basic natural behaviors. The recent European Citizens' Initiative to End the Cage Age has made it crystal clear that EU citizens care deeply about farm animals, and that they want them out of cages. The EU must finally show leadership and do something about the concerns of its citizens."

Hannah says it's for the Gold Award. I say it's for the puppy. You decide.
I saw it first on a Facebook post by one of my granddaughters. "Hannah Claire Kelly is going to get a dog!!! SO HAPPY, life is good." Could it be really be? I thought any chance of that was kyboshed many years ago. But as I read the FB comments to her post, I realized it wasn't a done deal; at least not yet.
Hannah could have lived with that decision. That is until she read the story about a young lady who had trained a guide dog. It was the featured story in The Golden Link, a monthly magazine published by the Girl Scouts. The Texas teenager provided a foster home for a nine-week-old puppy; raising him until he was sixteen months old. During that time, she taught the dog 40+ commands and exposed him to many types of social situations. For this community service, she received The Gold Award—the highest honor you can receive as a Girl Scout.
Hannah had worked hard for her bronze and silver award. Now she knew how to get the gold. But the biggest hurdle to getting a dog (a golden retriever or a lab) would be her dad.

Published on 1 August 2021 6 July 2021 by Ewan MLeave a comment
I do love a Jean-Pierre Melville gangster flick, but you get to see enough of them that sometimes they just don't make much of an impact. Sure, there are the trenchcoats, the hats, the moody expressionist lighting picking out figures from the darkness, the sense of noirish desperation amongst these small-time gangsters, and then there's Belmondo, still fairly fresh off Breathless, still just a little too pretty to be a tough guy (though he can be pretty nasty). Then again I think he grew into his minimalist gangster films, and this one still has one foot in that old world tradition, the one that informed Bob le flambeur, of guys in rooms and shady dealings and an interest in the relationships between them rather than just the brute fact of a gun, a girl, a double-cross, a murder: the elements that Godard stripped his first film down to. Already there's this sense of these generic trappings, the guys in coats passing across the frame, and I think it's something that Melville hones in on, and perhaps I'm just being unfair here, but it's the kind of piece that I can't genuinely remember if I've seen it before, but it feels like the kind of thing I might have watched once.

If there's one thing I can credit the Criterion Collection with introducing me to, it's the whole gamut of French policiers and gangster films of the 1950s and 60s especially. Sure, I'd seen maybe a Melville, but now I feel like I'm starting to get through a lot of them, and this early feature by Claude Sautet, which has become somewhat overshadowed in film history by the contemporary work by the Nouvelle Vague, very much fits into the Melvillean tradition, if not being itself a source of influence for Melville as he went more abstractly noirish throughout the decade. It has the laconic soul of a western in the way this big guy gangster Abel (Lino Ventura) communicates through body language and scowls. He's on the run for a heist that's netted far less than expected, and the trail of cops leads to death, which is particularly difficult for Abel as he has two small kids to protect. There's a whole world between these characters that we already have a sense of, even before they speak, and when a young kid helps Abel out (Belmondo, fresh from Breathless), there's an extra frisson of concern because Abel doesn't know him and worries he's being set up. Of course there's paranoia and fear, but mostly there's just an easy sense of being amongst shifty guys all of whose futures are looking pretty bleak.

Published on 2 May 2021 28 April 2021 by Ewan MLeave a comment
I've always had this film pinned in my head — having seen it a couple of times 20 years ago — as one that's fun, and rewatching it again, it is, mostly. I feel like I should mention right up-front that there's a rather hideously racist interlude with Anna Karina in a painted yellow face making some mock-Vietnamese noises, and even if it's intended to be part of an anti-American satirical rehashing of the conflict in Vietnam, it can't help but disrupt the film's tone. Which is otherwise, as mentioned above, pretty playful. It builds on the saturated sun-drenched coastal resort colours of Le Mépris, and sets up some of the apocalyptic imagery that was to come in Godard's career (in Week End, most notably), as his two criminal-lovers on the run rehearse a sort of Bonnie & Clyde script with a metatextual commentary and little asides to camera, but Godard never repeats the same trick twice, making it feel even a little exhausting at times, as things head towards their colourfully bleak ending. The deeper socio-political dimensions are more evident in some of his other films, but Godard was always most playful about genre and film itself, creating his own playbook of self-referentiality, than about empathy for people's lives in the world (which may explain the yellowface). Certainly these characters never quite feel like much more than an author's conceits, but Anna Karina (and Belmondo too, in his way) has an ever-likeable charm that suggests more than the film sometimes does.

Criterion Sunday 408: À bout de souffle (Breathless, 1960)
Published on 21 March 2021 19 March 2021 by Ewan MLeave a comment
I'm sure we've all seen Breathless a lot of times (I've already reviewed it at greater length on this blog). Sometimes it feels like — though it's not — the first truly modern film, mainly because of its place at the head of the French New Wave, one that may not have even created that template (improvisational, street shooting, up-front love for American genre cinema), but certainly popularised it and had the most cool of those early works (works by Varda, Chabrol and Truffaut have better claims to being earlier). Watching it for the nth time (maybe the fifth, maybe the eighth, I'm not sure), it strikes me that I don't remember a lot of the shots and the scenes because it's very much not about plot. It's about attitude and style, about the jump cuts, and the posing that Belmondo does at the shrine of Bogart and the other tough guys of cinema (also, er, Debbie Reynolds it seems, with those exaggerated facial gestures she does in Singin' in the Rain), echoing this bravado with hollow quips about women's fecklessness — even though he's the one that can't stay still or keep any money on him. So all these guys with European names who drift through, details about a crime (he's on the run for killing a cop), just become background to a rehearsal of celebrity by Belmondo and Seberg, looking glamorous and catching the camera's light as they try to out-run the plot's machinations.
There's a series of five contemporary interviews from French TV, a couple with Godard, and one each with Belmondo, Seberg and Jean-Pierre Melville. It's striking how much more confrontational the one with Seberg is, as the interviewer constantly harps on at her career ups and downs, at a period in rehab, and just keeps on having a go at her, which seems unfair. Belmondo weirdly does his surrounded by sculptures, while Godard dons his customary sunglasses.
A more recent interview from 2007 with assistant director Pierre Rissient, and the DoP Raoul Coutard, as well as another with Donn Pennebaker, who talks about working with Godard himself later in the 60s, as well as the impact of Breathless. All add a little to an understanding of quite how Godard's working processes were, and how they were so different from what was accepted as usual at the time.
Mark Rappaport contributes a 20-minute piece about Jean Seberg. He made his own feature-length biopic, From the Journals of Jean Seberg, so he has plenty of research to draw on. She had a fascinating life, truly, which accounts for the several films that exist about her, but it seems like her early experiences with Otto Preminger weren't the most positive, and may have been a bad way to start out.
One of the many extras is a 10 minute visual essay written (but not spoken) by Jonathan Rosenbaum which picks up on just a few of the visual cues and links this work in with his earlier writing as a critic. For some reason the voiceover guy insists on saying "Irish shots" instead of "iris shots" or maybe I'm just mishearing him? Anyway, that's what I took from it.

Published on 28 April 2019 15 August 2019 by Ewan MLeave a comment
This very early film, Godard's third feature I believe, gets wildly disparate reviews, and I sort of land somewhere in the middle. It's a thin undertaking, like so much of JLG's work, a few recycled ideas stolen from books and film, made feature-length, and largely predicated on the on-screen allure of his leading lady Anna Karina. Of course, there have been less substantial reasons for making a film, and if it's going to be Karina mugging for the camera or doing little musical interludes (though this is not really a musical), then there are plenty of pleasures along the way. The fourth-wall breaking, the self-aware nods to cinema history, and the constant inventive staging and cutting mark out this period of Godard's work, and just on a formal level it's a pleasant undertaking. That said, Karina's character feels like little more than a cipher for her (fairly bland) male co-stars' sexual competition, as Brialy and Belmondo try to woo her, and so it ends up feeling overlong even at its shortish running length. Likeable, colourful, and playful, with an excellent Karina only hinting at her much greater work in Vivre sa vie (still my favourite of Godard's films)… but little more than that.

À bout de souffle (Breathless, 1960)
Published on 5 September 2013 19 March 2021 by Ewan M1 Comment
This post was written for the Debuts Blogathon jointly organised and hosted by Chris at Terry Malloy's Pigeon Coop and Mark at Three Rows Back (and can be read there with comments). Aside from presenting my thoughts on the film, in this case the debut of French director Jean-Luc Godard, it attempts to answer the questions they posed about "how your director of choice's first feature has impacted on their work. How have their subsequent films fared against their debut? Have they improved or steadily declined over subsequent features?"
There were, in 1960, certain ways of making feature films wherever you were in the world, methods that had been built up over the preceding half-century of filmmaking and which continue to endure to this day in mainstream cinema. The key thing about this debut film from young French film critic Jean-Luc Godard is that few of these methods were followed, though such rule-breaking might have had less effect had the film not also been an enjoyable pulpy retrofitting of familiar American imagery. One of Godard's famous aphorisms, which he attributes to D.W. Griffith, is that "all you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun", and here indeed there's a girl (Patricia, played by the American Jean Seberg) and a gun, generally wielded by gangster Michel Poiccard (played by Jean-Paul Belmondo). He's on the run, she hooks up with him: that's all you really need to know about the plot.
Referencing pulpy B-movies from the States was part of a deliberate strategy by a number of like-minded French critics making their first films all at the same time, loudly rebelling against the staid cinema of their fathers' generation. This movement became acclaimed as the nouvelle vague (or 'French New Wave'), and if François Truffaut gained a lot of early attention for his Les Quatre cents coups (The 400 Blows, 1959), it's Godard who set out a lot of what made this New Wave memorable and which define its lasting legacy. In his films in particular you can see a youthful passion for cinema combined with formal innovations showing a blatant disregard for classical techniques, often informed by a self-consciously revolutionary politics. Even in this very first film of Godard's can be seen a lot of what would later come to dominate his style.
First let's talk politics. Not party politics (of which there's plenty as Godard gets older), but la politique des auteurs. That phrase translates as "the policy of authors" in French, but the common translation of the term in the English language has been "the auteur theory", thanks to Andrew Sarris's writings from the 1960s onwards. It was a critical idea of Truffaut's that helped to shape the way that the New Wave first developed, as a director-focused movement, but I think its value has been overstated. In many ways it's a provocation like the Dogme 95 manifesto of Lars von Trier (and others), a way of focusing attention and signalling a change in methods from the mainstream. It has also helped to focus critical attention on the French New Wave, though similar changes in filmmaking practice were taking hold in various parts of the world at the same time, whether the Italy of Antonioni and Pasolini, or the American films of John Cassavetes.
The "auteur theory" is alluring for Godard's films in particular, which often seem like such personal expressions, but even in this very first film he liked to expose the mechanics of filmmaking. It starts here with Michel addressing the camera directly as if the audience is a passenger in the car he's driving. There's also a sequence later on when Michel and Pauline are walking and talking down the Paris streets, and all the passers-by can be clearly seen turning and staring at them and the camera. (This scene also neatly illustrates both the simple energy of just capturing a spontaneous and improvised scene directly — an energy that suffuses the film as a whole — but also the technical changes in filmmaking that had in part opened up the way for the nouvelle vague, as smaller and more portable cameras became available.) Only a few years later, in Le Mépris (1963), Godard would kick off the film by showing the cameraman Raoul Coutard backed up by his crew dollying down a track filming the actors while Godard read out the credits, and this kind of breaking of the fourth wall would become a regular feature of his films.
Not unrelated is Godard's habit for improvising dialogue. The script here is credited to Truffaut — and there was creative input too from Claude Chabrol (another critic and nascent filmmaker) — but that script was only apparently the outline of the film. The scenes as they play in the film were as often scribbled out by Godard himself, shortly before filming took place, and this would often be his method in future. Yet this personal inspiration (that of the auteur) is one that draws heavily on other texts and influences. There's scarcely a scene that doesn't quote the American cinema he so loved — whether it's Michel standing in front of a poster of Humphrey Bogart (The Harder They Fall), tracing his fingers around his lips as he imagines Bogart to do, or mimicking Debbie Reynolds' melodramatic mugging in Singin' in the Rain as he sits around Patricia's apartment. These are just two examples, though. There are many more allusions to Hollywood movies, and it's a habit that Godard would only extend, taking influences and presenting decontextualised quotations from film and literature like a magpie, until eventually entire films of his (such as Histoire(s) du cinéma) become playful interrogations of sources. Godard, more than most directors, has always remained a critic.
This first film also exposes some common techniques and themes that Godard liked to use. There are those long-takes of characters talking that do away with the classical shot-reverse shot construction, so here you have Patricia questioning Michel in the car while you hear his replies from off-screen. There are the sequence shots of couples in cramped domestic spaces bickering about meaningless topics, trying to escape one another (and the film's frame), but never succeeding. There's the fecklessness of male desire, and its betrayal by women — it's interesting in this regard that Patricia was explicitly noted by Godard as an extension of Seberg's character Cécile in Bonjour Tristesse, another young woman isolated in a world of unconstrained chauvinist desire (and she's great in both films). Yet if there's often in Godard's films a self-important male figure (like Jean-Pierre Melville's author at a press conference near the end) espousing generalisations about women, it's also often accompanied and set in juxtaposition to lacerating self-critique (Godard himself plays an informer in the film). And I haven't even mentioned the famous jump cuts.
But in 1960 none of this would mean very much if it was just another young director showing off his Brechtian or cineaste credentials, as so many like to do. The point is that around this time there weren't any mainstream filmmakers doing this stuff. Sure, there were occasional isolated examples of these techniques beforehand, but for Godard (as for like-minded young directors of the era such as Cassavetes) it was just the way he made films. It shows most of all in the looseness and jazzy rhythms of this debut, more akin to documentary than to feature films of the period. Godard would extend his interests as his career progressed, becoming ever more esoteric as his meaning became more opaque, but he was never more accessible than in this first, exciting despatch from the front lines of a new wave.
Next Up: Moving forward a couple of years, I will look at Vivre sa vie: film en douze tableaux (1962), an ever more Brechtian assemblage of beautiful women (Anna Karina) and the exploitative crassness of capitalism.

Q: How to use POST route as a middleware I have 2 routes

*

*users.js POST api/users

*auth.js   POST api/auth/confirmation
I want to use auth/confirmation as middleware in route /users
I have tried creating a temporary function and using res.redirect(...)
but it throws error Cannot GET ....
I can change the structure of the program to make it work, but I want to make it work this way by using another route as a middleware
Temp function that I tried

    checkk = (req, res, next) => {

        console.log('middleware')
        res.redirect('api/auth/confirmation')
        next()
    }

auth/auth.js

    router.post('/confirmation', (req,res)=>{
        //do something
    })

/users.js

    router.post('/', auth.checkk, async (req, res) => {
        res.send("user route")
    })

Exptected Output
middleware
confirm route (If some error occurs it will go back with response)
user route

I dont want users to hit /auth/confirmation endpoint by themselves but via /users.
Edit
I am using express-validator to check req body, and I want the middleware to check that
router.post('/confirmation', [
    check('name', 'Name is required').not().isEmpty(),
    check('email', 'Enter valid email').isEmail(),

A: You wouldn't use a route as middleware but instead a function. A common flow for your auth scenario is:

*

*User makes request to access secure route POST /users

*A first piece of middleware will set a user context e.g.:

function setUserContext(req,res,next) {
    // get user from session or decode a JWT from auth header etc.
    if (user) {
        // user will be available for the lifetime of the request
        req.user = user
    }
    next()
}

Use this middleware across all routes: app.use(setUserContext)

*A second middleware function can be applied to routes which need securing:

function requireLoggedInUser(req,res,next) {
    if (req.user) {
        return next()
    }
    throw new Error("You need to be logged in")
}

Apply to the users route: app.post('/users', requireLoggedInUser, (req, res) => { ... })
In this case you wouldn't have the confirmation route but instead two middleware functions.

According to the American company IBM, with the computing power that quantum computers will offer, it will be much easier for cyber criminals to break encryption. It is in this context that she set up the Quantum Safe Cryptography a few weeks ago. The American company advises the entire IT world to prepare for the impact.
In IBM's logic, the solution to the problem that quantum computing can cause is nothing but quantum computing. In the first sense, the first-glance advantage of this new technology is that it will easily solve some of the problems that are obstacles to computer progress. But as a double-edged sword, the aspect of the disadvantages should not be overlooked either. Because, indeed, it does have drawbacks to the use of quantum technology. The most likely of which. Encryption algorithms, like any other operation requiring some computing power, will then be subject to a vulnerability problem. "It promises to solve new problems, overtake supercomputers and be able to be used to easily break encryption algorithms and data security measures.
Indeed, modern encryption is based on the principle of factoring in prime numbers. According to experts, this method is interesting, because for two prime numbers given, regardless of their size, multiplying them together to find their product is easy. Conversely, finding the primary factors of this number is difficult and quickly becomes more difficult as the number to be factored increases. So far, no quick way to solve the problem of prime factors has yet been found. But that doesn't mean it's not possible to design. explains IBM Cloud Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Hillery Hunter. Of course with the quantum computer, arrived at this stage to an expected result is nothing but a matter of time.
IBM in this condition has decided to deploy a technology that will allow encryption that will withstand technological advance in order to counter quantum computing whose possibility of its use in the field of cybercrime is highly likely. The idea of course is to anticipate potential problems that will come naturally with the deployment of quantum computers. This solution from the U.S. company is part of a set of cloud computing services, which will be supported by quantum encryption. New features that will enable IBM cloud partners to improve data security is a better prepare for the future.
"As our reliance on data increases in the hybrid cloud age and the capabilities of quantum computing advance, the need for data privacy becomes even more critical. IBM now offers the most comprehensive approach to quantum security to secure the data available today and to help companies protect their existing data and protect themselves from future threats," said Hillery Hunter. She added: "Security and compliance remain at the forefront for IBM Cloud as we continue to invest in confidential computing and advanced encryption capabilities to help businesses of all kinds, particularly those in highly regulated sectors, secure their data."

Szerbia első világháborús részvétele 1914 augusztusában kezdődött meg, s a háború első konfliktusa volt.

Története

Előzmények
Az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia Bosznia-Hercegovina után Szerbiát is be kívánta kebelezni, így újabb területet szerzett volna a Balkánon.

1914. Szent Vid-napján (június 28.) Ferenc Ferdinánd és Szófia hercegnő vonattal érkeztek Szarajevóba. Azonban nem volt itt biztonságban a főherceg. A Fekete Kéz nevű terrorszervezet a főherceg meggyilkolására készült. Oskar Potiorek ezredes, Bosznia-Hercegovina elnöke várta őket a pályaudvaron. Az első autóban utaztak Fehrim Čurčić polgármester és dr. Gerde rendőrfőnök. A második autóval utazott a hercegi pár Oskar Potiorekkel és Harrah gróffal. Ezen a napon több tag is azon az útszakaszon volt, amelyen a főherceg elhaladt. 10:15 körül Nedeljko Čabrinović dobta az első bombát, de a bomba nem talált. Eric von Merizzi és Boos-Waldeck grófokat és 10 figyelőt a bomba azonban megsebesített.

Nedeljko Čabrinović ezután bevette a cianidot és a Miljacki-folyóba vetette magát. Közben 4 ember ült a parton (köztük 2 nyomozó) és kimentették őt a vízből.

A főherceg eközben megérkezett a városházára érkezett. Nemsokára távoztak és indultak visszafelé. Az autó sofőrje, a Ferenc József úton jobbra fordult. Ekkor Potiorek felkiáltott: "Mi ez? Rossz út." A sofőr visszafordult. A jelenet közben senki sem figyelt fel Princip-re a szerb anarchista diákra (a Fekete Kéz terrorszervezet tagja), aki hirtelen pisztolyt rántott és az autóhoz lépett. Gavrilo Princip, merénylőnek elég ideje volt, hogy betöltse a pisztolyát majd elsüsse. A lövés erősen a trónörökös testébe fúródott. Ferenc Ferdinánd mielőtt elvesztette volna eszméletét, Szófia hercegnőnek ezt mondta: "Szófia, drágám! Szófia, drágám! Nem fogok meghalni! Élni fogok a gyerekeink miatt!" A vezető az elnöki palota felé vette az irányt.

Gavrilo Princip maga ellen fogta a pisztolyt, de a jobb kezét ekkorra már lefogták, így nem tudta megölni magát. A bíróságon később 20 év börtönbüntetést kapott.

A hadba lépés
Július 23-án az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia felszólította Szerbiát, hogy tartsa magát az 1909 márciusában tett nyilatkozathoz, melyben az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchiával való jó viszony fenntartását ígérte, majd kiadta a júliusi ultimátumot. Válaszul a szerbek mozgósították hadseregüket, majd válaszoltak a Monarchia levelére, melyben átfogalmazva ugyan, de elfogadták az ultimátum 10. pontját, viszont a másik 9 pontot visszautasították, vagy hamis választ adtak rá. Az osztrák-magyar nagykövet a helyszínen visszautasította a szerbek válaszát, majd visszatért Bécsbe. Ezt követően a szerb tartalékosok véletlen átlépték a Monarchia és Szerbia határát a Temes folyónál, aminek következtében az osztrák-magyar csapatok figyelmeztető lövéseket adtak le. Az esetről készült túlzó jelentések győzték meg végül Ferenc József osztrák császárt, hogy hadat üzenjen Szerbiának.

További okoknak köszönhetően az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia és Szerbia közti vita egy nagyobb háborúvá nőtt, amelyet manapság első világháborúnak nevezünk. A háborúban részt vett többek közt Oroszország, Németország, Franciaország és az Egyesült Királyság is. A háború kitörését követően, az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchia egy héten belül szembekerült Oroszországgal is, ami a kor legnagyobb hadseregével rendelkezett. Ennek következtében a szerbiai front csak egy lett a monarchia határán zajló tömeges csatározások közül. Szerbiának tapasztalt serege volt, mely a korábbi két évben, két háborúban is részt vett, de emiatt kimerültté és rosszul felszereltté is vált. Ezekből kiindulva az Osztrák–Magyar Monarchiában úgy gondolták, hogy kevesebb mint egy hónap alatt le fogják győzni a szerbeket.

A szerbek stratégiája az volt, hogy minél tovább kitartsanak az Monarchia támadásaival szemben, és remélték, hogy közben az oroszok legyőzik a nagyobb osztrák-magyar sereget. Eközben a szerbeknek mindvégig figyelniük kellett a keleti szomszédjukra, Bulgáriára is, mivel a korábbi években többször is háborúztak velük (utoljára 1913-ban), így viszonyuk nem volt jónak mondható.

A háború elején a szerb hadsereg 180 000 fővel rendelkezett. A hadsereg parancsnoka Radomir Putnik tábornagy volt. Érdekesség, hogy a tábornagyot éppen egy budapesti kórházban kezelték, mivel elég rossz egészségi állapotban volt. Az osztrák-magyar hatóságok a kórházban le is tartóztatták a szerb tábornagyot, de később Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf, a Monarchia vezérkari főnökének személyes közbenjárása miatt végül elengedték. Von Hötzendorf ezzel lovagiasságát szerette volna bizonyítani, valamint arra számított, hogy egy beteg tábornok könnyű ellenfél lesz. Később kiderült, hogy ebben tévedett, mivel Putnik kiválóan irányította a szerb haderőt, még annak ellenére is, hogy szinte soha nem hagyta el különleges, ezúttal már szerbiai kórházi szobáját.

A remembrance ceremony was held at Witchford Village College on the site of the former RAF base. Picture: WVC
A remembrance ceremony was held at Witchford Village College on the site of the former RAF base.
Students, staff and parents gathered to pay their respects on November 11.
Year 7 students in their military, scouting and guiding uniforms attended the ceremony while all other pupils observed the two-minute silence across the college.
The college is built on the former site of RAF Witchford, which was in use during the Second World War.
Jo Gordon, from WVC, said: "We also honoured those who flew from RAF Witchford and of those the ten men who laid down their lives for our country.
"Tributes were paid to ex-students and parents who have been in, or are currently in our country's armed forces, and who might soon be placed in harm's way in defence of our country, our way of life and the freedom we all enjoy.
Chris Parsons played the Last Post, students Zak, Mateo, Tabitha and Abigail gave readings including the No.115 Squadron Battle Song - a squadron who flew from Witchford.
The college also officially open its new canteen facilities 'Witchford Mess' on Armistice Day.
Sue Aldridge from RAF Witchford Museum was "honoured" to cut the ribbon.
David Martin, chairman of the Ely Branch of the Royal British Legion, was also present to sign affiliation papers with principal Daniel Baxby.
Visitors were able to stay for refreshments made by Year 9 and 10 food and nutrition students.
Guests were treated to scones, vegetable soup and bread rolls followed by profiteroles.

Q: Is it fine to use sizeof operator in snprintf Is it fine to use sizeof operator with  "snprintf" ?
for example
   char cstring[20];
   snprintf(cstring,sizeof(cstring),"%s","somestring......");

A: Yes, it's fine, the specific case you posted is good except that you don't check the return value, so you won't know if the string was truncated.

A: It is fine in example you posted.
However, it's not fine in any case where array decays in to pointer:
void func(char s []) {
    snprintf(s,sizeof(s),"%s","somestring......"); // Not fine, s is actually pointer
}
int main(void) {
    char cstring[20];
    func(cstring); // Array decays to pointer

A: You can use the sizeof operator in the snprintf, but if the length of the string is bigger than the size which you have specified, then the remaining characters in the string will be lost.

A: Yes you can use. But if the string is higher than the sizeof value then the string is truncated. or up to the given value is stored in that array.

A: #include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
        char str[16];
        int len;

        len = snprintf(str, sizeof( str ), "%s %d %f", "hello world", 1000, 10.5);
        printf("%s\n", str);

        if (len >= 16)
        {
                printf("length truncated (from %d)\n", len);
        }
}

output:
=======
 ./a.out
hello world 100
length truncated (from 26)

/* You can see from the output only 15 char + '\0' is displayed on the console ( stored in the str ) */

/* Now changing the size of the str from 16 to 46 */

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{

        char str[46];
        int len;

        len = snprintf(str, sizeof( str ), "%s %d %f", "hello world", 1000, 10.5);
        printf("%s\n", str);

        if (len >= 46)
        {
                printf("length truncated (from %d)\n", len);
        }
}

output:
==========
./a.out
hello world 1000 10.500000


You might be wondering…what the heck is Kimchi? Kimchi is a traditional side dish and staple item in Korea. People in Korea consume about 40 pounds of Kimchi (per person) each year–it's generally eaten on the side with every meal. There's a lot of different varieties of Kimchi (over 300 depending on vegetables and spices used), but most of them use some blend of cabbage, chili peppers, garlic, scallions, and sometimes carrots. It always has some spice, which gives it it's signature bite.
What's So Special About Kimchi?
So why did I go out of my way to use it in a recipe and and present it to you here? Kimchi is a fermented food or probiotic food. This means it undergoes a process inside tightly sealed glass jars where bacteria convert sugars into other compounds in order to produce energy, grow, and thrive.
Sounds a little gross… bacteria in your food? Don't we usually try to avoid that? We most certainly do, but this is beneficial bacteria. Bacteria that has the ability to boost your immune system, balance your gut microbiome (bacteria in your gut), and improve your mental, physical and emotional health.
Do you want to learn more about why keeping your gut healthy is so important? Check out the video below. I also show you how I made the Kimchi Slaw.
Health starts in the gut. 70-80% of our immune cells are located in our gut. Our guts operate on their own and even send signals to our brain. This means that making sure you're keeping your gut healthy should be a priority. Fermented foods are one great way to do that.
1. Makes food easier to digest, which increases the amount of vitamins and minerals we absorb from them.
Since the bacteria start breaking down the food/beverage during the fermentation process, this makes the nutrients more bio-available and easier to absorb. We get as much as we physically can nutrient-wise from fermented foods/beverages.
2. Help to stave off cravings for sugar and heavily processed foods.
By consuming fermented foods, you are increasing the variety of good bacteria in your gut. This creates a balance and improves digestion and absorption of food. When we absorb more nutrients from our food, we avoid nutrient deficiencies that often cause cravings.
3. Boost levels of polyphenols and resveratrol, which makes them easier to absorb–these can help fight cancer.
The bacteria, called anaerobes, not only help breakdown down the food, but also create compounds that have anti-cancer and anti-oxidant properties, like the ones listed above. These are powerful antioxidants that can prevent chronic disease, help the aging process, and overall improve health.
4. Provide enzymes that help your body improve digestion and even help beneficial bacteria to grow.
Not only does eating fermented foods add in good bacteria to your gut, but they also promote the growth of more good bacteria by producing the enzymes needed. This creates a happy environment in your gut, which translates to mental, emotional, and physical balance.
When we add good bacteria into the gut, we are improving our immune health. The better the balance of good and bad bacteria in your gut, and the more variety you have, the stronger your immune system will be.
*I got the avocado oil mayo from Amazon. The harissa flavor is spicy and delicious! If using plain mayo I would add some cayenne pepper, paprika, and herbs.
1. Chop your cabbage then mix cabbage, carrots, and kimchi in a large bowl. Add in your mayo and mix until it's all even.
If you want to let me know how the recipe turned out, have questions, or just want to connect you can find me @amandamontalvord on Instagram and Facebook. You can also shoot me a quick email to amandamontalvord@gmail.com.

Do it now es una canción de Paul McCartney que forma parte de su álbum Egypt Station, publicado en 2018.

Historia
Do it now fue grabada en 2017, durante el proceso de confección del álbum Egypt station. Según el propio Paul McCartney, a medida que iba envejeciendo, recordaba frases de gente que lo había acompañado en algunos momentos de su vida, como maestros, amigos o sus padres. Su padre James McCartney decía «hazlo ahora» —  'do it now' en inglés— siempre que McCartney quería postergar las cosas. Incluso abreviaba la frase diciéndole únicamente «DIN». Paul McCartney decía bromeando que la palabra DIN le parecía un buen nombre para una compañía discográfica.

Para Paul McCartney, la canción hace referencia a un viaje imaginario que a él le hubiese gustado hacer pero que era necesario realizar en el momento. De acuerdo con el cantante, ideaba componer una canción con esta frase desde tiempo atrás.

Billy Sharp did plenty of talking following last month's game against Bradford City.
Attitude, age and former team mate Matthew Kilgallon all cropped-up during the conversation but one remark, delivered as an aside to a joke about how being handed the armband would supposedly stifle his attacking threat, really did stand-out.
A few days later, watching a re-run of Chelsea's 2-1 victory at Old Trafford which saw them wrestle control of the 2010 Premier League title race, a thought occurred to me. Is this, the number of leaders within Chris Wilder's squad, the real reason for their results this season? Rather, as is often suggested, more intensive training sessions or the manager's unashamedly old school approach?
United, who enter tomorrow's game against Charlton Athletic second in the table and unbeaten in league competition for nearly 14 weeks, underwent a dramatic makeover following Wilder's appointment during the close season. And, as a consequence, are a much more intimidating beast than the one which limped to an 11th placed finish last term. Wright, among 13 new players signed by the 49-year-old, might not grab the headlines like Fleck, Ethan Ebanks-Landell or even his skipper. But, going about his business in quiet, under-stated fashion, the former Oxford defender has made a series of game-changing interventions during United's impressive recent run.
United, despite failing to score their usual flurry of goals against Shrewsbury and Bury this week, have demonstrated great purpose, self-belief and resolve. When Carlo Ancelotti masterminded that pivotal win over Manchester United, he had numerous individuals - John Terry, Didier Drogba, Michael Ballack and Frank Lampard - who could impose their will on games. The two teams are incomparable in terms of talent but Wilder can probably say the same.
Simple instructions, conveyed face to face rather than via a tactics board or video analysis session, have undoubtedly benefited United's players this season. The coaching staff's willingness to treat them like adults rather than naughty schoolchildren has gone down well too. But these methods only work if, as Sharp revealed after that memorable tussle at Valley Parade, the right people are in the dressing room. Personality is key.
