One time not long ago, under the foreboding glow of moonlight, Scott Sakuta was almost murdered by a tarpon.
Bodine Electric Co. of Chicago, IL., has a 97-year history of fine-and medium-pitch gear manufacturing. Like anywhere else, traditions, old systems, and structures can be beneficial, but they can also become paradigms and obstacles to further improvements. We were producing a high quality product, but our goal was to become more cost effective. Carbide hobbing is seen as a technological innovation capable of enabling a dramatic, rather than an incremental, enhancement to productivity and cost savings.

Coral mark a splendid Super Sunday of all-star scuffles by picking out a derby dabble of the day for punters, as Manchester City and Manchester United continue to duel for that last top four Premier League place, with this clash their last chance to wound one another in the Champions League spot race.
There is a very generous price of 13/5 for bitter inter-city enemies the Citizens and United to end evenly at the Etihad, which looks worth a weekend wager when considering the current form of both clubs.
Ahead of this season, many in Manchester will have hoped that this late campaign clash could have been a potential title decider, but instead this encounter is set to be a scrap for fourth.
Both Northwest clubs have underwhelmed due to inconsistencies this season, which has made them exciting for neutrals, but far from winning machines.
In particular, Man City have secured just two wins in normal time of their past five frays in all competitions and, despite a dramatic spot-kick Capital One Cup triumph, have looked rather lacklustre.
Manuel Pellegrini's men have stumbled to two draws in as many of their last games, failing to find the net in either. While, Man Utd have not fared much better, as Louis van Gaal's guys are without a win in four fixtures, including also ending evenly in their last two.
Customers only need cast their minds back to the reverse on the Red Devils' patch back in October, to remember how the build-up to the battle only resulted in a toothless 0-0 scoreline.
The Red Devils have recorded 13 draws in normal time across all competitions so far this campaign, including against City, Liverpool, Leicester City and versus West Ham United twice, hinting at an inability to finish opponents off in high-stakes clashes.
While, the Sky Blues have split the spoils on eight occasions in 90 minutes, also against the likes of the Hammers, Reds and Foxes, with three of those in their previous six outings.
So, backing a draw on the blue half on Manchester looks fantastic value at 13/5 indeed!

Abstract: This study shows that, in the United States, the effects of monetary policy on credit and housing markets have become considerably stronger relative to the impact on GDP since the mid-1980s, while the effects on inflation have become weaker. Macroeconomic stabilization through monetary policy may therefore have become associated with greater fluctuations in credit and housing markets, whereas stabilizing credit and house prices may have become less costly in terms of macroeconomic volatility. These changes in the aggregate impact of monetary policy can be explained by several important changes in the monetary transmission mechanism and in the composition of macroeconomic and credit aggregates. In particular, the stronger impact of monetary policy on credit is driven by a much higher responsiveness of mortgage credit and a larger share of mortgages in total credit since the 1980s.

Surgeons and truck drivers may soon have something in common
DavidEWilliams May 6, 2016 May 6, 2016
Climbing into the future
Many Americans feel economically insecure. Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders have latched on to these feelings, and both fault free trade agreements for stripping the country of good, steady jobs. Trade agreements are a convenient scapegoat, but the big threat to jobs is technology, not trade.
Over the past decades, technology has reduced the need for labor in many fields. Robots can perform repetitive, manual work like welding cars. Enterprise software and databases have replaced paralegals and bookkeepers. Computers can answer the phone and provide customer service.
As great as these dislocations have been, much bigger change is on the horizon. For example, there are more than 3 million professional truck drivers in the US; the industry pays pretty well, especially for a job that doesn't require a college education. But often lost in the discussion of driverless cars is the concept of driverless trucks. It might take 10 or even 20 years, but driverless trucks will eventually be the norm, lowering costs while putting millions of truck drivers out of work. (Driverless cars will throw all the Uber drivers out of work as well.)
Believe it or not, surgeons face a similar threat. Surgeons have long used robotic tools to assist them, but historically the tools relied on surgeons' manual skills. That's changing, even for challenging procedures.
A new study demonstrates that robots can be used for soft tissue surgeries, even though these are tricky compared with surgeries on solid structures such as bones.
From Johns Hopkins University:
The researchers developed a robotic surgical system called the Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot, or STAR. It features a 3D imaging system and a near-infrared sensor to spot fluorescent markers along the edges of the tissue to keep the robotic suture needle on track. Unlike other robot-assisted surgical systems, it operates under the surgeon's supervision, but without hands-on guidance. (emphasis mine)
The researchers compared STAR with expert surgeons using various methods:
"No significant differences in erroneous needle placement were noted among all surgical techniques," the researchers wrote, "suggesting that STAR was as dexterous as expert surgeons in needle placement."
The researchers say that the tools won't replace humans but will "expand human capacity and capability." How do they know that? I predict that in fact these robotic tools will cut down on the need for human surgeons.
Furthermore, once surgery robots get better than surgeons, robotic surgery will become the standard of care. It will be unethical to use a human surgeon when a safer, better alternative is available.
As a middle-aged management consultant with specialized knowledge and strong relationships, I'm not worried that robots are going to take my livelihood away. But I do worry a lot about the younger generation and wonder what will happen to their career prospects, economic growth, and our society.

The Louisiana Tigers in the Gettysburg Campaign, June-July 1863
Previous works on Confederate brigadier general Harry T. Hays's First Louisiana Brigade -- better known as the ""Louisiana Tigers"" -- have tended to focus on just one day of the Tigers' service -- their role in attacking East Cemetery Hill at Gettysburg on July 2, 1863 -- and have touched only lightly on the brigade's role at the Second Battle of Winchester, an important prelude to Gettysburg. In this commanding study, Scott L. Mingus, Sr., offers the first significant detailed exploration of the Louisiana Tigers during the entirety of the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign.
Mingus begins by providing a sweeping history of the Louisiana Tigers; their predecessors, Wheat's Tigers; the organizational structure and leadership of the brigade in 1863; and the personnel that made up its ranks. Covering the Tigers' movements and battle actions in depth, he then turns to the brigade's march into the Shenandoah Valley and the Tigers' key role in defeating the Federal army at the Second Battle of Winchester.
Combining soldiers' reminiscences with contemporary civilian accounts, Mingus breaks new ground by detailing the Tigers' march into Pennsylvania, their first trip to Gettysburg in the week before the battle, their two-day occupation of York, Pennsylvania -- the largest northern town to fall to the Confederate army -- and their march back to Gettysburg. He offers the first full-scale discussion of the Tigers' interaction with the local population during their invasion of Pennsylvania and includes detailed accounts of the citizens' reactions to the Tigers -- many not published since appearing in local newspapers over a century ago.
Mingus explores the Tigers' actions on the first two days of the Battle of Gettysburg and meticulously recounts their famed assault on East Cemetery Hill, one of the pivotal moments of the battle. He closes with the Tigers' withdrawal from Gettysburg and their retreat into Virginia. Appendices include an order of battle for East Cemetery Hill, a recap of the weather during the entire Gettysburg Campaign, a day-by-day chronology of the Tigers' movements and campsites, and the text of the official reports from General Hays for Second Winchester and Gettysburg.
Comprehensive and engaging, Mingus's exhaustive work constitutes the definitive account of General Hays's remarkable brigade during the critical summer of 1863.

The only winning move is to play —
Shall we play a game? WarGames gets interactive reboot from Her Story dev
It's an interactive game, not a movie, but the 1983 classic will be reimagined for today.
Nathan Mattise - Dec 6, 2017 5:40 pm UTC
Didn't expect to see this today (but glad it happened).
As various creators look toward the new year, December seems to bring with it a new trailer every day (Batman Ninja? Altered Carbon? Black Mirror just this morning before a December 29 launch). But one teaser stood out from the fray this morning—because when you invoke WarGames, we nerds pay attention.
Before some readers instantly panic, no, the 1983 Matthew Broderick hacker classic is not being rebooted verbatim for the big screen. Instead, Her Story writer/dev Sam Barlow will modernize the tale for 2017-2018 and turn it into an "experimental interactive series" (which is how Barlow describes Her Story).
"With #WarGames I was thrilled to take the questions raised by the original movie and ask them again in a world where technology has fundamentally changed our lives," Barlow said in the game's press release. "I am excited to introduce viewers to the new hacker protagonist, Kelly, who represents the breadth of modern hacker culture and its humanity. As viewers help steer her story, I hope they will fall in love with her as much as the #WarGames team did."
As Barlow's quote hints, the story this time centers on a young female hacker played by Jessica Nurse (Scandal). On Twitter, Barlow noted the concept started before 2017's North Korea-US nuclear drama (before the 2016 election even) but that the message will clearly resonate today. Despite the very real subject matter, Barlow said ensuring that the new #WarGames kept the fun ethos of the original became a top priority ("Broderick's charisma and the optimism of him and Sheedy in the face of Professor Falken's nihilism and the logic of the Cold War was the core of that movie for me," he tweeted).
If Her Story is any indication, #WarGames players can expect to spend a lot of time with new protagonist Kelly.
Most of Her Story looked like this: what is this woman thinking? Figuring that out is half the fun.
Wait, what's Her Story?
Her Story is a compelling new type of interactive storytelling
If the mention of WarGames excites you but Her Story leaves you frantically Googling, fear not. The 2015 full-motion video (FMV) title ended up in our Top 10 Games of the Year for good reason. Barlow and lead actor Viva Seifert showed how underrated and underutilized this retro gaming format is for complex storytelling. It was the kind of engaging whodunnit (and whatdunnit) that compelled both gamers and non-gamers to push forward in order to unravel the game's central mysteries. As Gaming Editor Kyle Orland described the concept:
Her Story takes place entirely within the creaky interface of a late-'90s database terminal, complete with a cathode ray tube screen that reflects the fluorescent lights behind you. A pair of readme files teach you how to search through the database, which consists entirely of transcribed video clips of a young woman responding to police questions (the questions themselves have been lost). You're not given any details or direction for what to do with this mountain of unearthed evidence, but the first default search term—the word "murder"—gives some clue as to what's going on.
Don't be fooled, though; "what's going on" is not as simple as just figuring out whether the woman on camera is guilty or innocent. The story of one murder eventually opens up to include other potential homicides, cases of mistaken identity, childhood trauma, incomplete physical evidence, complex psychosexual personality quirks, and the vagaries of memory and fantasy itself.
Her Story ended up being almost equal parts movie as it was game. As the player/viewer, your only interactions involved figuring out new search terms to try plugging into the database engine in order to unlock more interview clips (this is more engaging than it sounds, trust us and try it). The database included more than 300 clips, allowing players/viewers to shape and guide the experience.
The trailer and press release for #WarGames doesn't offer much detail beyond a 2018 release date and the information above, but it's likely a safe bet to assume some limited player/viewer interactions will similarly steer this new adaptation. Barlow mentioned on Twitter that early cuts of the game have been shown to younger kids (aka the core of the original WarGames fanbase), and the results leave him confident the wider audience will enjoy it as much as Her Story.
We had a rough cut screening and some kids high-concepted it as a YA Homeland or a Teen Blacklist, and I'm very down with that. First person to throw out 'Ms. Robot' loses ten points.

The Nation team was to play the Mombasa County Government team on Friday but the match was rescheduled to Saturday and Coast Media FC coach Kevin Odit hurriedly called some of his players to play the game against the Nairobi team.
Nation FC completed a successful trip to the Coast when they won their two matches at the modern Bomu and Uwanja wa Mbuzi stadiums in Mombasa on Saturday.
Nation FC started their tour by registering an easy 4-1 victory over Coast Media FC during a hurriedly arranged friendly match at Bomu Stadium in Mombasa on Friday in the tour supported by Capricorn Group, an integrated facilities management company.
We are happy the media side agreed to play us despite such a short notice," said Nation FCc team manager Elias Makori, who also promised to invite the Coast media team for a friendly match in Nairobi.
Odit rued lack of match fitness for his side's thrashing.
Nation FC too haven't been training lately but only playing friendlies and in the corporate Left Foot League.
"We didn't know about the game and that is why we missed the services of many of our regular players," said Odit.
Nation scored their goals against Coast media team through Sammy Mumicha, Isaac Ochieng, Athman Mashuhuri and John "Jontes" Ohuma with the Coast team's consolation goal netted by Brian Otieno.
In their second match at Uwanja wa Mbuzi Stadium Saturda morning, the Nation team maintained their winning form after hammering previously unbeaten Mombasa County Government team 6-3.
It was a sweet revenge for the Nation team which lost 3-2 to their hosts during their first visit some months ago at the same venue.
The visitors got their goals through Isaac "Mbappe" Ochieng, who netted a hat-trick, Sammy Mumicha, Joseph "Pogba" Wasike and Andrew Abuodha.
Hajj Ramadhan, Nicholas Otieno and James Mutua replied for the home team.
Nation team coach John Ashihundu said he was happy with the way the team played in both matches.
"I'm happy to have ended our tour on a winning note and I hope we'll continue to perform well in our next friendly and competitive matches," said Ashihundu.

How a Divisive Movie Franchise Still Persists in the #MeToo Era: A New Look at I Spit on Your Grave and I Spit on Your Grave: Déjà Vu
"ISOYG's careful research and analysis makes for an insightful and enjoyable read throughout, and Maguire's clear-sightedness enables him to pull off the difficult feat of treating the subject matter seriously (as one would expect) without the book ever becoming dry and humourless."
~ Jon Towlson, Starburst Magazine
In conjunction with today's release of I Spit On Your Grave: Déjà Vu—a Meir Zarchi directed sequel film— this week, we are featuring a series of guest posts by David Maguire, the author of I Spit On Your Grave. In this post, Maguire discusses the controversial film's messages in the age of gender-awareness and the #MeToo movement. At the same time, he defends the film franchise against critics and the vision behind the sequel's appointing of a surprisingly female-empowered cast.
One of the main observations in my book about I Spit On Your Grave (released 2018) was just how resilient this 40-year-old film had become. Despite its numerous battles with the censors and mauling by critics, the picketing of its screenings by feminists and the politicians who had deemed it a corrupting influence on society, it has somehow managed to spawn a remake, two sequels to said remake—an official remake, an unofficial sequel, and countless imitations.
As a perfect example of how this film stubbornly refuses to be buried, today, the original finally gets the official sequel it deserves, reuniting original director Meir Zarchi and original star Camille Keaton in the only true continuation of the story of cinema's most lethal lady vengeance Jennifer Hills. The story sends Hills hurtling back to where it all began—to face the wrath of the families of those she murdered. Kidnapped along with her daughter, it's a tense game of "hunt or be hunted" against a lethal gang of degenerates overseen by a violently unhinged matriarch.
Now the first thing that a lot of people are going to ask is—why does this film, the poster girl of the 1980s 'video nasties', a film which focused on the brutal gang-rape of a beautiful career woman at the hands of a group of degenerate misogynists, even necessitate a sequel, let alone one that's coming 40 years later? In the current climate of #MeToo, Take Back The Night, and a growing tide of female empowerment, isn't the release of such a sequel a gross miscalculation of judgement? If the film doesn't receive such comments I will be very surprised.
"In the current climate of #MeToo, Take Back The Night, and a growing tide of female empowerment, isn't the release of such a sequel a gross miscalculation of judgement?"
But what is interesting about this film—and I had the pleasure of seeing an early cut of the film last year—is how it actually revolves around three strong, empowered female characters. The action is motivated by them—whether it's Jennifer Hills and her daughter Christy (played by current scream queen Jamie Bernadette) fighting for survival, or Becky (Maria Olsen) and her single-minded obsession with revenge. This is a rarity in the horror film, particularly the rape-revenge genre, where the perpetrators of the violence are usually male.
Like the original and its reception, Déjà vu—I am convinced—will merit a wide amount of controversy. Some will argue that is the sole rationale for its existence; and yet there is a huge audience of fans for the original 1978 films—a lot of whom are female—who have been crying out to know what happened to Jennifer Hills after she motor boated into the sunset all those decades ago.
Whatever your thoughts are regarding Déjà vu (and I do encourage you to check it out) and the 'franchise' that I Spit On Your Grave has become, one thing is for certain—it has no doubt divided opinion for 40 years, and it will undoubtedly do so for at least another 40. Love it or loathe it, this is one film that refuses to be buried.

The arrival of the new BMW Motorrad C evolution electric scooter marks the start of a new chapter in the urban mobility segment for BMW Motorrad. The two conventionally powered maxi scooter models – the C 600 Sport and C 650 GT – already succeed in combining the superb ride qualities of a motorcycle with the specific agility of a scooter and the design's inherent comfort. The new electrically powered C evolution now goes even further by fusing riding fun and dynamism with the benefits of zero-emission performance to create a whole new experience on two wheels.
The BMW Motorrad C evolution electric scooter is powered by a drive-train swing arm with liquid-cooled permanent magnet synchronous motor via a toothed belt and ring gearing. The rated power output is 11 kW (15 hp), with a peak output of 35 kW (47 hp). This enables the C evolution to achieve a top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph, electronically limited) and gives it better acceleration than some maxi scooters powered by engines with displacements of 600 cc or more.
Supreme safety thanks to synergies with BMW Auto-mobile.
As part of the BMW Group, BMW Motorrad was able to harness synergies with BMW Automobile during development of the C evolution. Besides adopting the same energy storage modules and electronic componentry used in the BMW i3, this was particularly beneficial for electrical safety, which is to passenger car standard. The C evolution is the first electrically powered two-wheeler to meet the ISO 26262 standard for functional safety and the ECE R100 standard governing high-voltage safety, both of which have been ratified by the leading car makers.

Errrr I think I spawned a miniature David Bailey!!!!
I took LOTS of photos of the sun today. Newly sprouted daffodils. Washing on the line. A never ending blue sky with not a cloud in sight.
I got bored of taking photos that I wasn't in, so I held the camera out at arms length and took a self portrait. Great if I wanted a close up, but I'd wanted to get the landscape in.
Remembering that Aaron CAN take photos I gave him the camera (Sony Bloggie).
He only took THESE 3. Not one duff one!
Even in the first you can tell from my mouth, that I am shouting at him to take the photo, not realising that he is doing JUST THAT!
First here is what I was taking by myself. Not bad but no landscape and no blue sky, and that was the case despite me trying EIGHT times... only the facial expressions changed LOL!
So for anyone who had their nose to the grindstone today, or for anyone who did not look out the window, it was a GLORIOUS day, and we managed to get two loads of washing on the line AND it did dry!
We only got in at 18:30 JUST as it was getting cold and windy. Beautiful right up until then though.
WHAT! We had minor glimpses of the sun so JEALOUS!!! We did manage a lovely walk though. Very good pictures! I hope my wee man shows such skill!
I use a Sony Bloggie at the moment too & from the look of these photos Aaron is already better with it than I am! Impressive!
Oh he takes some amazing photos, even with my Sony Cybershot too, which is amazing as there is a few seconds delay before the exposure. Adults always press the button and lower the camera, unless I tell them otherwise but not so with Aaron, PLUS he always takes clear photos which means he has a steady hand. Remarkable.
Always immpressed with the photos he takes and I have never given him any feedback or tips.
I swear I have given birth to David Bailey I swear!


There is joy in repetition. Repetition that goes beyond my perceived limits. Repetition that on paper sounds like something that would not be possible for the person I think I am.
What most struck me on this particular evening was the transparency, and clarity of intention, that marked each work.
Dance Odysseys at the 2013 Edinburgh Festival with reviews on 20 dance works by Scottish Ballet, Scottish Dance Theatre, Gelabert Azzopardi Companyia de Dansa, James Cousins and Rosie Kay. Also thoughts on 4 rare films and links to much video material and many other reviews. It's big!
Kevin O'Hare, Director of The Royal Ballet, announced today that Matthew Golding is to join the Company as a Principal in February 2014. His first performance will be on 27 March dancing alongside Natalia Osipova in The Sleeping Beauty.
The most successful pieces of the evening are – perhaps not coincidentally – those least directly indebted to McGregor's movement volcabulary and compositional style.
Amid all the fuss about the costumes, the choreogaphy paled… What a joy, then, to see a section of Western Symphony, with those marvelous frou-frou tutus by Karinska and that euphoric outpouring of Balanchine's' crisp, witty steps.
A major triumph throughout the work is a seamless integration of dance with all other theatrical elements.
English National Ballet is encouraging people in the UK to join in with International Pirate Day*, the annual event held on September 19… and herald the arrival of the pirate ballet Le Corsaire.

BOISE, Idaho – Consumer and public health advocates are applauding the latest pledge by a fast food chain to phase out its use of chickens raised on antibiotics.
Kentucky Fried Chicken has announced that by the end of 2018, all chicken purchased by the company will be raised without having received any of the antibiotics that are important to human medicine.
Matthew Wellington, field director of the National Antibiotics Program for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group (PIRG), says the move makes sense, given the global concern about the rise of antibiotic-resistant superbugs.
"Consumers across the country should certainly be happy that KFC, a major actor in the marketplace, is moving away from the use of antibiotics," he states. "It's a big step forward for public health."
Farmers use antibiotics to grow chickens faster and prevent diseases in crowded conditions. Reuters has reported that some poultry producers are turning to sanitizing wipes and bacteria-reducing fog to keep birds healthy.
Wellington says PIRG has been active with other consumer groups in asking national chains to end their use of poultry raised with antibiotics, but he says KFC's move is in an entirely different league.
"Their size – they're one of the biggest chicken buyers in the country – their commitment could actually lead to a majority of the U.S. chicken industry no longer raising chickens with medically important antibiotic use, or the routine use of those drugs," he states. "And that would be a major shift."
Currently, Wellington says about 70 percent of the medically important antibiotics sold in the U.S. are purchased for use on livestock and poultry.


__FACT:__Until 2001, some childhood vaccines included thimerosal, a preservative containing ethylmercury. (Thimerosal isn't gone from all vaccines — it's still present in some influenza formulations. But none of the vaccines routinely required for school admission contains thimerosal as a preservative.)11 Mercury, of course, can cause neurological damage. But there's scientific consensus that the amount once used in vaccines — around 50 micrograms per 0.5-ml dose — was far short of toxic. And autism rates have continued to climb, suggesting that there's either a different cause or, more likely, that a better understanding of the condition has increased diagnoses. A comprehensive review of the research, conducted in 2004 by the prestigious Institute of Medicine, found no evidence of a connection between vaccines and autism. None.
MYTH 2: Giving too many vaccines overwhelms a child's immune system.
FACT: This argument echoes the "too much of a good thing" chestnut, but there's no science behind it. With millions of vaccines administered every year, a handful of allergic reactions do happen. But severe cases are so rare that the CDC cannot calculate a statistical risk for the population — the numbers are just too small.
MYTH 3: Vaccines cause diabetes.
FACT: This idea relies on the flawed work of one doctor, who gathered data on a slew of vaccines and failed to follow standard study protocols. No other study — including those using the same data — could reproduce the results. The CDC and the Institute of Medicine have both dismissed any possible link. This argument also ignores the obvious and well-established fact that diabetes rates in children are climbing because obesity rates are climbing.
MYTH 4: Vaccines are no longer necessary, because the diseases are no longer a threat.
FACT: The opposite is true. Because of vaccines, diseases that once killed millions are now invisible. But if only a few families stop vaccinating, the illnesses could reemerge in a community. And the diseases are horrible — mumps and Haemophilus influenzae type b cause meningitis, which can lead to deafness, epilepsy, and cognitive impairment. Measles can lead to encephalitis, blindness, and death.
FACT: By any measure of scientific consensus, there is total agreement: Vaccines are safe, effective, and necessary. Twelve studies have shown that the measles/mumps/rubella vaccine is safe. Many other studies have disproved the theory that the Hib shot is toxic. The few dissenters get lots of attention, but it's always the same old names.
1. An earlier version of this story suggested that no childhood vaccines contain thimerosal. In fact some versions of the influenza vaccine, which is not typically mandated for children's admission to school, does contain the preservative. Go here for a further explanation.


To be able to certify a fire detection installation, you need the right fire test materials to perform a fire test to make sure that the installation will alarm when necessary. The Dutch standard NEN 2535 describes a wide variety of fire testing methods.
SenseTek has an extended program of fire test materials to correctly perform the tests that are described in the NEN 2535. We also have equipment available to functionally test detection equipment and ancillaries. With the use of this equipment the location of air movement can be made visible so that the correct mounting position of detection equipment can be found easily.

Database I/O Actions
====================

Anything that you can execute on a database, whether it is a getting the result of a query
(`myQuery.result`), creating a table (`myTable.schema.create`), inserting data
(`myTable += item`) or something else, is an instance of
<api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction>, parameterized by the result type it will produce when you execute it.

*Database I/O Actions* can be combined with several different combinators (see the
[DBIOAction class](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction) and [DBIOAction object](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$), which is also
available under the alias `DBIO`, for details), but they will always be executed strictly sequentially and (at least
conceptually) in a single database session.

In most cases you will want to use the type aliases [DBIO](api:slick.dbio.package@DBIO[+R]:DBIO[R])
and [StreamingDBIO](api:slick.dbio.package@StreamingDBIO[+R,+T]:StreamingDBIO[R,T]) for non-streaming and
streaming Database I/O Actions. They omit the optional *effect types* supported by <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction>.

> {.note}
> In the code examples below we assume the following imports:
>```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#imports
> ```
> If you're new to Slick, please start with the [Getting Started](gettingstarted.md) page.

Executing Database I/O Actions {index="execute,Action;Action,execute"}
------------------------------

`DBIOAction`s can be executed either with the goal of producing a fully materialized result or streaming
data back from the database.

### Materialized {index=materialize}

You can use `run` to execute a `DBIOAction` on a Database and produce a materialized result. This can
be, for example, a scalar query result (`myTable.length.result`), a collection-valued query
result (`myTable.to[Set].result`), or any other action. Every `DBIOAction` supports this mode of
execution.

Execution of the action starts in the background when `run` is called. The calling thread is not blocked. The
materialized result is returned as a [Future][Scala Futures] which is completed asynchronously as soon as the result
is available:

```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#materialize
```

### Streaming {index=stream}

Collection-valued queries also support streaming results. In this case, the actual collection type
is ignored and elements are streamed directly from the result set through a [Reactive Streams]
`Publisher`, which can be processed and consumed by [Akka Streams].

Execution of the `DBIOAction` does not start until a `Subscriber` is attached to the stream. If multiple
`Subscriber`s subscribe to the same `Publisher`, each one triggers an *independent execution* of the
action.

Stream elements are signaled as soon as they become available in the streaming part of the `DBIOAction`. The end of
the stream is signaled only after the *entire action* has completed. For example, when streaming inside a transaction
and all elements have been delivered successfully, the stream can still fail afterwards if the transaction cannot be
committed. The `Subscriber` is notififed of this failure.

```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#stream
```

When streaming a JDBC result set, the next result page will be buffered in the background if the
Subscriber is not ready to receive more data, but all elements are signaled synchronously and the
result set is not advanced before synchronous processing is finished. This allows synchronous
callbacks to low-level JDBC values like `Blob` which depend on the state of the result set. The
convenience method `mapResult` is provided for this purpose:

```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#streamblob
```

> {.note}
> Note: Some database systems may require session parameters to be set in a certain way to support streaming without
> caching all data at once in memory on the client side. For example, [PostgreSQL] requires both
> `.withStatementParameters(rsType = ResultSetType.ForwardOnly, rsConcurrency = ResultSetConcurrency.ReadOnly, fetchSize = n)`
> (with the desired page size `n`) and `.transactionally` for proper streaming.

Composing Database I/O Actions {index="session,pinned;pinned,session;transaction"}
------------------------------

`DBIOAction`s describe sequences of individual actions to execute in strictly sequential order on
one database session (at least conceptually), therefore the most commonly used combinators deal with
sequencing. Since a `DBIOAction` eventually results in a `Success` or `Failure`, its combinators,
just like the ones on `Future`, have to distinguish between successful and failed executions. Unless
specifically noted, all combinators only apply to successful actions. Any failure will abort the
sequence of execution and result in a failed `Future` or *Reactive Stream*.

The available DBIO combinators are a purely functional subset of Future combinators. You should be
familiar with [working with Scala Futures][Scala Futures] before diving into DBIO combinators. Since the
result of a database action is usually a Future, this knowledge is required anyway for composing database
results and other asynchronous code.

### Sequential Execution

The simplest combinator is [DBIO.seq](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@seq[E%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[_,NoStream,E]*):DBIOAction[Unit,NoStream,E])
which takes a varargs list of actions to run in sequence, discarding their return value. If you
need the return value, you can use <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@andThen[R2,S2%3C:NoStream,E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[R2,S2,E2]):DBIOAction[R2,S2,EwithE2]>
to combine two actions and keep the result of the second one. If you need both return values of two
actions, there is the <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@zip[R2,E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[R2,NoStream,E2]):DBIOAction[(R,R2),NoStream,EwithE2]>
combinator. For getting all result values from a sequence of actions (of compatible types), use
[DBIO.sequence](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@sequence[R,M[+_]%3C:TraversableOnce[_],E%3C:Effect](M[DBIOAction[R,NoStream,E]])(CanBuildFrom[M[DBIOAction[R,NoStream,E]],R,M[R]]):DBIOAction[M[R],NoStream,E]).
All these combinators work with pre-existing `DBIOAction`s which are composed eagerly:

```scala src=../code/DBIOCombinators.scala#combinators1
```

If an action depends on a previous action in the sequence, you have to compute it on the fly with
<api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@flatMap[R2,S2%3C:NoStream,E2%3C:Effect]((R)=%3EDBIOAction[R2,S2,E2])(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[R2,S2,EwithE2]>
or <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@map[R2]((R)=%3ER2)(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[R2,NoStream,E]>.
These two methods plus <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@filter((R)=%3EBoolean)(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[R,NoStream,E]>
enable the use of *for comprehensions* for action sequencing. Since they take function
arguments, they also require an implicit `ExecutionContext` on which to run the function. This
way Slick ensures that no non-database code is run on the database thread pool. This ExecutionContext should be
provided by your application or framework (e.g. [Akka] or [Play]).

> {.note}
> Note: You should prefer the less flexible methods without an `ExecutionContext` where possible. The
> resulting actions can be executed more efficiently.

Similar to [DBIO.sequence](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@sequence[R,M[+_]%3C:TraversableOnce[_],E%3C:Effect](M[DBIOAction[R,NoStream,E]])(CanBuildFrom[M[DBIOAction[R,NoStream,E]],R,M[R]]):DBIOAction[M[R],NoStream,E])
for upfront composition, there is [DBIO.fold](<api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@fold[T,E%3C:Effect](Seq[DBIOAction[T,NoStream,E]],T)((T,T)=%3ET)(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[T,NoStream,E]>)
for working with sequences of actions and composing them based on the previous result.

### Error Handling

You can use <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@andFinally[E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[_,NoStream,E2]):DBIOAction[R,S,EwithE2]>
to perform a cleanup action, no matter whether the previous action succeeded or failed. This is similar to using
`try ... finally ...` in imperative Scala code. A more flexible version of
<api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@andFinally[E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[_,NoStream,E2]):DBIOAction[R,S,EwithE2]>
is <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@cleanUp[E2%3C:Effect]((Option[Throwable])=%3EDBIOAction[_,NoStream,E2],Boolean)(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[R,S,EwithE2]>.
It lets you transform the failure and decide how to fail the resulting action if both the original
one and the cleanup failed.

> {.note}
> Note: For even more flexible error handling use <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@asTry:DBIOAction[Try[R],NoStream,E]>
> and <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@failed:DBIOAction[Throwable,NoStream,E]>. Unlike with
> <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@andFinally[E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[_,NoStream,E2]):DBIOAction[R,S,EwithE2]>
> and <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@cleanUp[E2%3C:Effect]((Option[Throwable])=%3EDBIOAction[_,NoStream,E2],Boolean)(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[R,S,EwithE2]>
> the resulting actions cannot be used for streaming.

### Primitives

You can convert a `Future` into an action with [DBIO.from](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@from[R](Future[R]):DBIOAction[R,NoStream,Effect]).
This allows the result of the `Future` to be used in an action sequence. A pre-existing value or
failure can be converted with [DBIO.successful](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@successful[R](R):DBIOAction[R,NoStream,Effect])
and [DBIO.failed](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction$@failed(Throwable):DBIOAction[Nothing,NoStream,Effect]), respectively.

### Debugging

The <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@named(String):DBIOAction[R,S,E]> combinator names an
action. This name can be seen in debug logs if you enable the `slick.basic.BasicBackend.action` [logger](config.md#logging).

### Transactions and Pinned Sessions {#transactions}

When executing a `DBIOAction` which is composed of several smaller actions, Slick acquires sessions from
the connection pool and releases them again as needed so that a session is not kept in use
unnecessarily while waiting for the result of a non-database computation (e.g. the function passed to
<api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@flatMap[R2,S2%3C:NoStream,E2%3C:Effect]((R)=%3EDBIOAction[R2,S2,E2])(ExecutionContext):DBIOAction[R2,S2,EwithE2]>
that determines the next action to run). You can use <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@withPinnedSession:DBIOAction[R,S,E]> to
force the use of a single session, keeping the existing session open even when waiting for non-database computations.

All [DBIOAction combinators](api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction) which combine database actions without any non-database
computations in between (e.g.
<api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@andThen[R2,S2%3C:NoStream,E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[R2,S2,E2]):DBIOAction[R2,S2,EwithE2]>
or <api:slick.dbio.DBIOAction@zip[R2,E2%3C:Effect](DBIOAction[R2,NoStream,E2]):DBIOAction[(R,R2),NoStream,EwithE2]>
applied to two database computations) can fuse these actions for more efficient execution, with the side-effect that
the fused action runs inside a single session, even without `withPinnedSession`.

There is a related combinator called
<api:slick.jdbc.JdbcActionComponent$JdbcActionExtensionMethods@transactionally:DBIOAction[R,S,EwithTransactional]>
to force the use of a transaction. This guarantees that the entire `DBIOAction` that is executed will
either succeed or fail atomically. Without it, all database actions run in auto-commit mode. The use of a transaction
always implies a pinned session.

```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#transaction
```

> {.warning}
> Warning: Failure is not guaranteed to be atomic *at the level of an individual* `DBIOAction` that is wrapped with
> `transactionally`, so you need to be careful where you apply error recovery combinators. An actual database
> transaction is only created and committed or rolled back for the outermost `transactionally` action. Nested
> `transactionally` actions simply execute inside the existing transaction without additional savepoints.

### Rollbacks

In case you want to force a rollback, you can return `DBIO.failed` within a `DBIOAction`.

```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#rollback
```

JDBC Interoperability {index=JDBC}
---------------------

In order to drop down to the JDBC level for functionality that is not available in Slick, you can
use a `SimpleDBIO` action which is run on a database thread and gets access to the JDBC `Connection`:

```scala src=../code/Connection.scala#simpleaction
```

If you need to access state of the database session across multiple `SimpleDBIO` actions, make sure to
use `withPinnedSession` or `transactionally` accordingly (see [above](#transactions)).

David Wells's perfect game and near-perfect record remain tough to overshadow. But last night, as he took the mound against the Chicago White Sox, Wells was hardly the center of attention.
Wells, practically Ruthian in his presence since his perfect outing against Minnesota on May 17, was reduced to a supporting player when it seemed that a twinge in his pitching shoulder could open the way for the major league debut of the Cuban defector Orlando Hernandez.
El Duque, as the onetime great for Cuba's national team is known, arrived from Columbus with a four-year, $6.6 million contract, a 7-1 minor league record and great expectations.
It was a lot of attention to overcome. But Wells managed in his own inimitable way, first proving healthy enough to start, then good enough to pitch eight innings in a 6-3 victory over Chicago.
With that, the Yankees, 39-13 and winners of 8 of their last 11, swept the two-game series. And for a second straight day they were greatly helped by a porous Sox defense. For the game-winning blow, a three-run homer hit by Derek Jeter in the fifth inning, came after Chuck Knoblauch reached base on a two-out error by the Sox second baseman Ray Durham.
The Yankees cannot relate, so tight is their defense, so deep is their pitching.
Even as Wells (8-1) wended his way toward tying his career-best eight-game winning streak, Hernandez was relegated to a seat in the general manager's box in the upper environs of Yankee Stadium.
Hernandez stayed there for five innings, leaving when told he would not return to the Class AAA Columbus Clippers but would pitch tonight for the Yankees. David Cone, originally scheduled to start, has a cut on his right index finger from a bite by his mother's puppy.
The only one seemingly not fazed by the situation was Wells, who was resilient and sharp.
Unlike in the perfect game against the Twins, Wells did not prove to be unfathomable, just unbeatable as he pitched eight innings and allowed just three runs on seven hits, walking one and striking out eight. Wells gave way to Mariano Rivera in the ninth and the right-hander captured his 11th save with a perfect inning.
Chicago first baseman Wil Cordero also found the seats. But the Yankees and Wells were saved because the Yankees hitters, quiet in the homer department early in the season, are also finding the proper range of late.
Paul O'Neill showed that in the first inning, hitting a two-out solo homer off the Sox starter and loser, Mike Sirotka (6-5). After Belle tied the score in the second and Cordero homered to put the Sox up in the third, the Yankees regained the lead with a four-run fifth.

Coach Wallin says 2019 Swans team could be the best yet
Swans powerhouse Tommy Cossens is back to his brilliant best. GEORGE VARTABEDIAN
by Pam McKay
Pam McKay
AFL: Rivals beware. Mark Wallin believes the 2019 Yeppoon Swans could be the best yet.
It's an ominous warning from the coach of a team that is already considered one of the greatest in AFL Capricornia history.
The Swans have won 61 games straight on their way to claiming four consecutive flags.
They are closing in fast on BITS' unbeaten run of 65 games and, understandably, are red-hot favourites to become the first team to ever win five straight premierships.
The mighty Swans have picked up this year where they left off in 2018.
They hammered the Whitsunday Sea Eagles 173-nil in the Central Queensland Cup on March 3 before posting a 120-point win over the Hervey Bay Bombers in a pre-season trial a fortnight later.
BIG YEAR: Yeppoon Swans coach Mark Wallin addresses his players during last weekend's pre-season trial game against the Hervey Bay Bombers. GEORGE VARTABEDIAN
Wallin knows the signs are pointing to another big year for his champion outfit.
"We've had a terrific pre-season - we've had two wins, everybody's done everything right and we've come through injury-free," he said.
"Nearly every other year we've got major injuries out of our pre-season but this year we've pretty much got a full list to pick from.
"This is probably the first time in my time as coach that we could go in with our full strength side in Round 1."
Wallin does not like to draw comparisons between his teams past and present but when pressed said this was "potentially the best of the lot of them".
"We've got the likes of Tommy Cossens and Matt Wallin fit and at full strength, Leigh Cossens is in the best form of his life, Alex Chapman's back at the club and we've picked up Trevor Johnson, a big centre half back from WA who's a great asset," he said.
Leigh Cossens, pictured in last year's grand final, is in top form. Matt Taylor GLA010918AFLM
"Jamie Garner is killing it in the ruck. He's had an exceptional start to the season. He was best on ground in the CQ Cup game and was probably close to our best again against Hervey Bay.
"Sammy Nicholls is back, Sebastian Kilpatrick is back, these are all premiership players of the club.
"It's a scary thought but we are really strong at the moment."
The Swans are excited about hosting BITS in the season opener on Saturday, March 30.
"I know Boyne Island, they're a bit of a class act so I'm sure they'll come up here pretty strong," Wallin said.
"Obviously their record is on the line. If they can't beat us in this game they're not going to have another chance to defend it, they are going to have to rely on other teams to do it."
Wallin will be urging his players not to get ahead of themselves when they run on to Swan Park for the Round 1 clash.
"We just need to get out there and follow our processes and our rules.
"I'm sure if we do that right we'll get the job done and probably get it done quite comfortably, I reckon."

I came to East Campus last fall feeling like Benjamin Braddock in The Graduate: I had more freedom and opportunities than I could ever have imagined laid right before my feet and no idea what to do with them. (Granted he had just finished college and I had just started, but just go with it). People were building in the courtyard and in their rooms, wiring circuits onto the hall walls, painting their own walls, cooking, coding, and playing Ultimate Frisbee out by the Green Building. I felt overwhelmed and aware of all the things I didn't know how to do, but I very quickly got over it once I started talking to people and participating.
That same fear appears quite often when I'm hosed, and it stings every time. MIT definitely has moments of nirvana, but when you feel sad, stressed, or suffocated by all the work, it really hits you hard and without mercy.
I've found the cure to be buried within the people I've known in the past year. I love all of them, but I want to talk briefly about one group I grew close to last semester. The first night I was psetting in the lounge, they said hello to me even though they either didn't know me that well or had never seen me before. The second night, a few took me up to the top floor of the Green Building. We sat down in a dark classroom, looked down at the hazy streets and white lights of Cambridge, and wondered who else might be awake. Within a week, I knew almost everyone and felt completely comfortable crashing in the lounge or joining in on an episode of Game of Thrones. I opted to transfer a little later and got accepted. For reasons I will never understand, these people took a chance on me. It means more to me than I can say.
Like I said, MIT is a place of two extremes, and growth in such an environment often occurs slowly and painfully. But the people I live with are my family here, and when I'm with them, the growth doesn't feel nearly as painful. It's the little things (a hug, a friendly card or plate of cookies, a conversation about life, or just seeing someone's face) people do that make this possible. That's how it should be.

Seen Sridevi's All Heart Pic With Husband Boney Kapoor Yet?
She also posted another picture of herself and Boney Kapoor, this time captioned: "My number 1." For this Diwali party, Sridevi opted for a Manish Malhotra sari and a spectacular Gems & Jewels palace kundan and emerald necklace.
Sridevi summed up the festive week's fashion of the Kapoor ladies by posting few more pictures of herself, and her daughters Jhanvi and Khushi (both in Manish Malhotra couture).
Sridevi was last seen in MOM, which was produced by Boney Kapoor. Jhanvi is gearing up for her Bollywood debut too and is often spotted outside a dance rehearsal studio in Mumbai. Jhanvi's debut is being handled by Karan Johar and it is reportedly the Hindi remake of Marathi film Sairat.
Sridevi is Boney Kapoor's second wife. He was earlier married to Mona Shourie and together they had two children - son Arjun Kapoor (also an actor) and daughter Anshula.

UPN's Ostroff Looks For Flow, Consistency
In UPN President of Entertainment Dawn Ostroff's first development season, the goal was to add some flow to the struggling network, because Mondays urban comedies weren't doing flowing an audience into Tuesday's Buffy
block, which in turn didn't flow into Wednesday's sci-fi night and so on with Thursday's Smackdown!
So this season, fixing flow became job one.
Now Mondays and Tuesdays will comprise sitcoms, with UPN's most popular show, One on One, moving over to anchor an otherwise all-new Tuesday lineup. That will be followed by what appears to be the network's most promising new show All of Us
and Rock Me Baby
and The Mullets, a show that Ostroff says is "like [the movie] Dumb and Dumber but even dumber."
UPN still has a flow problem on Wednesdays, although it hopes The Mullets
will attract young men who watch Enterprise
at 8 p.m. ET. Sci-fi action thriller Jake 2.0
follows in the tough 9 p.m. time slot.
Ironically, UPN picked up all its comedies from Warner Bros. Television, the same studio that is producing 100% of rival net The WB's new shows.
Thursdays and Fridays remain intact, with WWE Smackdown! on Thursdays and movies on Fridays.

Barges and Bargemen
By Barrie Trinder
The carriage of goods in river barges was for centuries one of the principal forms of commercial transport in Britain. This book is the result of 40 years' research into river navigations that have left few paper records. The author focuses on the River Severn between the Worcestershire ports of Bewdley and Stourport, and the medieval weir near Welshpool that marks the uppermost limit of boating, a stretch where the river remained 'in a state of nature'. Dr Trinder traces the fascinating history of river trade from 1660, through its heyday during the Industrial Revolution, when such key commodities as Manchester textiles, Coalbrookdale iron castings, Birmingham hardware, and Hanley and Burslem pottery were all transported via the Severn, to its gentle decline in the late 19th century as other modes of transport took over. A wide range of documentary, archaeological and pictorial sources combine to create an absorbing picture of the colourful lives of barge owners and watermen, in addition to illustrating how the navigation was devised and operated. Complemented by superb illustrations, this book makes essential reading for both transport historians and those interested in the social and economic history of the West Midlands and the Borderland. Family historians, too, will be delighted by the author's ground- breaking analysis of the linear riverside community that extended from Gloucestershire, through Worcestershire and Shropshire, into mid-Wales.

New Caisse Populaire opening in West Ferris
The announcement last week by Caisse Populaire Alliance was certainly good news for North Bay and more specifically, the residents of West Ferris. The closure of the last banking branch in that end of the City earlier this year, was seen as a loss of services to those who actually like to deal with people. We all get that it was due to change in banking habits, on-line and mobile banking and continued automation that was the decision maker, but it still left a mark. Fast forward to last week and the void will soon be filled.
The entire team from Caisse Populaire Alliance really demonstrated their commitment to this community by announcing the opening of their second branch, expanding to the Nipissing Plaza in the very near future. The confidence and investment shown by the Caisse will see a full service branch offering both personal and business banking services, in both official languages. New employment opportunities will be created and another vacancy, filled. Congratulations to Norm and the entire team at the Caisse for the early Christmas present, for West Ferris residents.
Last week also saw the Film and Television Industry join with the City of North Bay for a press conference, to dispel many of the rumours circulating in our area around the use of fake snow. Both sides echoed the need to ensure that any and all environmental concerns are addressed, as well as confirming the industries commitment for continued filming and television production, in this area. The economic impact for our communities is important and co-operation and communication will be key to ensuring this industry continues to grow.
The Fall Economic Statement delivered by our MP, Finance Minister Vic Fedeli on Thursday, was not a complete surprise given the deficit numbers that were outlined earlier this year, in the Auditor General's report. A number of changes forthcoming in the next budget for small business, is welcome news for a sector that has taken its hits over the past few years. Tax and regulatory reforms, red tape reductions and a complete overhaul of the apprentice programs, signal that the Government is serious about the statement that the Province is "Open for Business". We know that there will be changes and that economic recovery will not be without some tough decisions having to be made. Not all will be happy or agree with every decision however, we have to grow and any help for this sector will assist on the road to economic recovery.

Q: ASPXAUTH cookie not being stored after CORS request I've been asked to write a javascript/HTML front-end to connect to a set of WCF services.  I can use Postman to hit the Logon service and I can see that on a valid logon, two cookies are set .ASPXAUTH and ASP.NET_SessionId.
When I hit the same service from my javascript code, I get a 200 response and in the network section of Chrome developer tools, I can see the Set-Cookie header in the response for each of the two cookies.
However, the cookies do not get stored in the browser so subsequent requests to the server fail because they lack the cookie credentials.
The client app is on a different domain (https://localhost:44357) than the server (http://localhost:3101) so CORS is in play.  The client call is made using aurelia-http-client which is a wrapper around XMLHttpRequest.  I'm using .withCredentials() which is supposed to add the credentials: true header.  You can see that it is being included:

The Server is configured for CORS like so:
protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin","https://localhost:44357");
    if(HttpContext.Current.Request.HttpMethod == "OPTIONS")
    {
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods","GET,POST,OPTIONS");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers","Content-Type,Accept,credentials");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials","true");
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age","1728000");
    }
}

What am I missing?  Why aren't the cookies from the WCF Server being stored by the browser?

A: In playing around, I found that moving the Access-Control-Allow-Credentials header outside the if statement did the trick.
protected void Application_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin",...)
    //Had to move this line outside of the if statement
    HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Credentials","true");
    if(...)
    {
       ...
    }
}

Q: How to open TeXworks' TeX root pdf result with arara? Until now I've been using TeXworks to edit my .tex projects. When the project is divided in several subfiles I can use % TeX root=my_main_file.tex directive in order to compile the main file and not the one it's being edited. Once the file is compiled my_main_file.pdf is shown in TeXworks' pdf viewer.
Yesterday I decided to test arara because I also wanted to use its clean rule. After installing it and (more or less) reading the manual I don't know how to automatically open my_main_file.pdf after typesetting my_subfile.
arara typesetting engine is declared with $fullname --verbose --log and view PDF after running is marked.
Rule %arara: pdflatex on my_main_file.tex works as expected: main file is processed and viewed.
Rule % arara: pdflatex: {files: [ my_main_file ] } on my_subfile.tex works almost as expected: main file is processed but nothing is shown in viewer.
What am I missing?

A: First of all, thanks for giving arara a try. :) We are working on the new 3.x series, which will hopefully be the best version ever. :)
When you mark the View PDF after running option when configuring the tool, TeXworks will monitor the current  file expecting for changes. If you run arara on foo.tex, TeXworks will wait for changes in that specific file. Now, when we call arara on another file, TeXworks is not aware that it's another file that's being processed, hence not displaying the PDF preview.
We can easily "fix" (technically, it's not a fix, it's just a "Hey, TeXworks! I'm running foo.tex, but my main file is bar.tex.") this behaviour by adding the following TeXworks directive in our subfile.tex file:
% !TeX root = mymainfile.tex
Hello world

That should do the trick. :)
The arara directive is not even needed in the included files.
When we use the % !TeX root directive provided by TeXworks, the current $fullname variable is set to mymainfile.tex, so arara will read the directives in mymainfile.tex instead of the current file.
As egreg mentions in the comment, it's also advisable to include another TeXworks directive, % !TeX program=arara, in the secondary file just to make sure arara will run. Maybe arara isn't selected in the program list. :)
