Stories and experiences from our voluteers - straight from the heart.
Today in the Manthan session, the classrooms were painted with a new air of excitement; the kids were learning about First-Aid with the mentors demonstrating the working theory of the medical box. With regards to environment, we discussed types of pollution and the black effect they are leaving on the atmosphere. The children also had fun sheets related to the above topics and such topics which were always considered a monotonous discussion for the students, for the first time were enjoyed and fathomed by the students. Out of the box we also introduced a personality development session to embellish and sharpen those kids as much as we could. Considering the present need for a morally uplifted society we even had a fruitful discussion on moral values. In the society today we not only need some doctors or entrepreneurs but also some good humans without whom the picture of our society is incomplete. It's a must for the developing generation to recognize the need for moral values embedded in their characters. That was all for the Manthan session and the Rainbow session proceeded with Dance, Skits, Art & Craft, Science models , games and the best in the row-F.U.N. !
A little innocence sparkling in that pair of little eyes, wrapped in fragrance of joy and fervor and a waving desire to learn.
That's all for the day, all I hope is that these students someday ruffle their wings and fly high.

Q: Converting .cs class file to .dll I am trying to convert the famous BingSearchContainer.cs class file to .dll so that I can use it in a vb.net project. I have read and followed every single step mentioned in here
http://footyntech.wordpress.com/2011/07/27/creating-and-using-dll-files/
however when I compile it gives me several errors shown in the bottom screenshot

I also tried to change the .NET Framework from 3.5 to 4.0 and vise versa, but without luck.
Any thoughts or suggestions ?

A: You have to reference the required assemblies used by your code, e.g. System.Data.dll. With the command line Compiler you do that with the switch /r
csc /target:library /r:System.Data.dll /r:System.Data.Services.Client.dll /out:Student.dll BingSearchContainer.cs

For every data type that is missing you have to check in the MSDN in which assembly this data type is and add it to the list.

A: From this article:
http://weblogs.asp.net/sreejukg/archive/2012/07/04/integrate-bing-search-api-to-asp-net-application.aspx
It looks to me like you're missing this part:

To build the code file you need to add reference to the following
  library. System.Data.Services.Client

On my system at least, this assembly is located at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0\System.Data.Services.Client.dll
So you will need to go get System.Data.Services.Client from there and copy it to your local build folder. Then add /reference:System.Data.Services.Client to your command line for csc. Or, of course, just use Visual Studio and use the .NET tab of "Add Reference..." for the project to add a reference to System.Data.Services.Client.

Q: Drupal 8 module routing page not found? I have a simple question, I want Drupal to route this page but keep getting this error:
"The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later."

The drupal error log displays this :
"InvalidArgumentException: Class "\Drupal\dblogin\Controller\DbloginController::reddb" does not exist. in Drupal\Core\DependencyInjection\ClassResolver->getInstanceFromDefinition() (line 24 of C:\drupal_sites\drupal-8.6.2\core\lib\Drupal\Core\DependencyInjection\ClassResolver.php)."

The code I have implemented for this is:
dblogin.reddb:
  path: /admin/reddb
  defaults:
    _title: 'DBlogin'
    _form: '\Drupal\dblogin\Controller\DbloginController::reddb'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

and in \src\Controller\DbloginController.php
<?php
namespace Drupal\dblogin\Controller;
use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;

class dbloginController extends ControllerBase {

public function reddb() {
      $build = [
        '#markup' => $this->t('DB Login'),
      ];
      return $build;
}
/**
 * replacement process callbacks.
 */
}
?>

I have also tried to just make it return "hello", but to no avail.
<?php
namespace Drupal\dblogin\Controller;
use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;

class dbloginController extends ControllerBase {

    public function reddb() {
        return "hello";
    }
    /**
       * replacement process callbacks.
    */
}
?>

Could anyone help me out here? Thanks in advance!

A: Name of class should same in routing and controller file. You should make changes in code like
<?php
namespace Drupal\dblogin\Controller;
use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;

class DbloginController extends ControllerBase {

    public function reddb() {
        return "hello";
    }
    /**
       * replacement process callbacks.
    */
}
?>

in routing.
  requirements:
    _permission: 'administer site configuration'

A: There are two Issues with your module which I can see from code.
1) In your routing file. Please replace your code with below lines.
dblogin.reddb:
  path: '/admin/reddb'
  defaults:
    _title: 'DBlogin'
    _form: '\Drupal\dblogin\Controller\DbloginController::reddb'
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

2) In your controller. The file name and classname of your controller should be same everytime. So you controller code would be.
<?php
namespace Drupal\dblogin\Controller;
use Drupal\Core\Controller\ControllerBase;

class DbloginController extends ControllerBase {

public function reddb() {
      $build = [
        '#markup' => $this->t('DB Login'),
      ];
      return $build;
}
/**
 * replacement process callbacks.
 */
}
?>

A: error:
_form: '\Drupal\dblogin\Controller\DbloginController::reddb'

It must be:
_controller: '\Drupal\dblogin\Controller\DbloginController::reddb'

Dismissal of Marriage Contracts
Marriage contracts have become more prominent in recent years, as many individuals wish to protect their money or assets before they enter into marriage with their significant other. Although a marriage contract can deal with more than just monetary arrangements, the most contested area of any marriage contract, unsurprisingly, tends to be about money.
In a recent case before the Ontario Superior Court, Odorico v. Odorico 2021 ONSC 7290 (CanLII) ("Odorico"), debates the validity of a marriage contract. Section 56(4) of the Family Law Act R.S.O. 1990, c F.3 ("FLA") governs challenges to all domestic contracts and sets out specific circumstances in which one might challenge or set aside their contract. The party challenging the marriage contract, Ms. Odorico, submits that all the factors under section 56(4) of the FLA are present in her claim. Further, Ms. Odorico submits that she was under duress and lacked the free will to create a valid marriage contract.
Duress or undue influence is a particularly difficult claim to make. The basic premise of duress is where there is a significant power imbalance between the parties. A common example in family law could be a partner in an abusive relationship, where the abuser has the power to coerce their partner due to fear of retaliation. The onus lies with the party claiming duress to prove that these circumstances existed, resulting in them involuntarily signing the marriage contract.
In the case of Odorico, Ms. Odorico asserts that Mr. Odorico flatly stated he would not proceed with the marriage ceremony if Ms. Odorico did not sign the marriage contract. Under the circumstances presented in Odorico, the court found that Ms. Odorico would have felt some "discomfort and pressure"; however, the circumstances are not so extreme as to meet the threshold for duress. Accordingly, the court concluded to uphold the marriage contract as a valid document.
The court closes by harshly stating, "Ms. Odarico is now experiencing the remorse of a party who has signed a marriage contract and seeks to leverage her litigation position in the aftermath of a separation". However, unlike buyer's remorse, there is no return policy once you sign a marriage contract.

Human Rights First Names New Chief Executive
NEW YORK—Human Rights First announced today the appointment of Elisa Massimino as the organization's new executive director and chief executive officer. Massimino is one of the nation's leading human rights advocates.
"Elisa's career has been marked by her ability to bring people together and achieve concrete results on behalf of human rights," said Bill Zabel, Chair of HRF's Board of Directors. "Her sound judgment and deep knowledge of the field have gained her the respect of opinion leaders, policy advisors and elected officials from across the political spectrum."
In May 2008, the influential Washington newspaper The Hill, named Massimino one of the top 20 public advocates in the country. A 2007 profile of Massimino in The Hill attributed her success to a blend of idealism and pragmatism:
"'She has great judgment, great passion, drive and knowledge," the chief counsel and staff director of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Bruce Cohen, said. 'She has everything you would like in an advocate. Her humanity comes through, [but] she is not lecturing us on human rights; she trying to get Congress to do the right thing.'…. 'She speaks truth to power and she does it eloquently and self-effacing[ly]' Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.) said. 'She is in this for the victims . . . I have always counted on her to be a real beacon of truth and hope.'"
As Washington Director of Human Rights First for more than a decade, Massimino distinguished herself as one of the most prominent and effective voices on human rights in the country. Massimino served as the organization's chief advocacy strategist and point of contact with U.S. government leaders, international diplomats, and the media. She testifies frequently before Congress on a range of international human rights issues and writes extensively for legal and mainstream publications.
Michael Posner, President of HRF said, "As Human Rights First marks its 30th anniversary, we are very lucky to have Elisa take the helm. Her keen intellect, exceptional political judgment, ability to get things done and dedication to human rights make her ideally suited to lead Human Rights First forward into our next 30 years."
Massimino has been at the forefront of a campaign to shape political and popular opinion on the detention and interrogation of prisoners and the need for a single, humane standard of prisoner treatment across all U.S. government agencies. Jane Mayer, in her widely acclaimed book The Dark Side, credits Massimino with being "instrumental" to the national debate on these issues. "Massimino quietly put together a stunning coalition of retired military dignitaries . . . to support the restoration of the Geneva standards in the treatment of prisoners." Massimino, the daughter of a submarine commander, led this informal coalition of nearly fifty retired generals and admirals in meetings with the majority of the 2008 presidential candidates and many members of Congress.
Massimino holds philosophy degrees from Trinity University (B.A.1982) and Johns Hopkins (M.A. 1984), and a J.D. from University of Michigan Law School (1988). She has taught international human rights law at the University of Virginia School of Law and currently teaches human rights advocacy at Georgetown University Law Center.
Human Rights First is a leading human rights advocacy organization based in New York City and Washington, DC. The organization works in the United States and abroad to create a secure and humane world –advancing justice, human dignity, and respect for the rule of law.
Massimino will assume responsibility for the organization's overall leadership and strategic direction in September.

"Mostly, we authors must repeat ourselves--that's the truth. We have two or three great and moving experiences in our lives--experiences so great and moving that it doesn't seem at the time that anyone else has been so caught up and pounded and dazzled and astonished and beaten and broken and rescued and illuminated and rewarded and humbled in just that way ever before.

"The Tarrant Literacy Coalition brings together educational systems, businesses, faith-based organizations and social service agencies to seek out best practices and advocate on behalf of the hundreds of thousands of adult North Texans who need to improve their reading and math skills." Robert Earley, President/CEO JPS Health Network
Literacy and Learning is a program funded in part through United Way of Tarrant County that provides training and technical support for literacy volunteers from local community and faith based programs. Click to read about our initiative to spark innovation and build a strong network of literacy providers.
As a community, we have the opportunity to educate the 1/5th of adults in the Tarrant County area who lack sufficient literacy skills to succeed in today's complex job market. At the Tarrant Literacy Coalition, we work to facilitate information-sharing about literacy, enhance networking within the literacy community, and promote collaborative programming with organizations and businesses.
Adult low literacy feeds unemployment, increases the number of families in need of public assistance, and significantly increases the population in our correctional institutions. It also weakens an individual's ability to reach his or her goals, a family's ability to provide for its children, and can decimate an entire generation.
"Literacy is the building block of a healthy and sustainable community." - Jill "J.R." Labbe, Former Fort Worth Star-Telegram Editorial Director
The Coalition was created because a diverse group of people in the Tarrant County area recognized that in order to address the growing need for additional literacy services, a coalition must be established to bring together the entire community. Through the leadership of the United Way, led by the efforts of Sue Matkin, the Coalition was established and a Board of Directors was recruited in early 2009. The organization received its 501(c)(3) non-profit status in March 2009.
Since that time, the Coalition has continued to grow and build the capacity of literacy programs in and around Tarrant County. As a result of the progress toward its mission, the Coalition was named a United Way agency in January 2010.

"Tarrant Literacy Coalition's leadership in this tremendous endeavor is an investment that provides an unparalleled return in the future of our great city." - Mike Moncrief, Former Fort Worth Mayor
The Tarrant Literacy Coalition empowers adult learners and those who teach them with high quality literacy services and resources so businesses can hire, people can work and families can thrive.
Our vision is to make appropriate and accessible services available to every adult who wants to become literate.
By launching new programs and improving the quality of existing programs, the Coalition works to provide new opportunities for determined adult learners to attend classes and prepare them for productive and meaningful lives as literate citizens.
Elizabeth's Story
Elizabeth came to Tarrant Literacy Coalition in the fall of 2013. She enrolled in the Project BEST high school equivalency class. No one knew that it would take her almost 5 years to pass the exam that would change her life.
Flor's Story
Flor enrolled in Project BEST after attending English language classes at another program. Her goal was to earn the High School Equivalency certificate and then enroll in community college. Today, she is a successful businesswoman intent on changing the lives of others by sharing what she learned in class.


I've been using my aquapod for about two months now. It was great when they were still a bit wobbly as it gave the the support and now it stops Otis attackign Ava too much as it separates them. However not sue at ten months how much longer you'll get out of it. If you're a member of a twins club ask around if anyone has one second hand.
Having said all this I love mine it just makes bathing them easier.
I have just starting using the duo aquapod and love it. My twins are 6.5mths and just ready for it, but they are quite close and not sure how long it will last, but I do think it is great and my two look at each other, smile and giggle as well as play with the bath toys together.
We're planning on buying the Duo Good to hear stories!
I can't comment on the Duo as I only have one baby, but we have the single and it is utterly fantastic and has transformed bathtime. My LO loves to sit and play with his toys and splash about and it means my back doesn't hurt quite so much as I'm not bent over supporting a stone and a half of baby!!
I have the duo and it is great. The girls really love sitting opposite each other and playing. It certainly makes bath times more fun although you still need 2 people. I also sometimes take 1 seat out so they can ly down and kick too. My girls are 8mths now and it is only really now I use it as they are more confident sitting up.
We've had our duo for a few months now and it's been great. The kids love sitting and playing in the bath and it's helped loads with the transition from the baby bath into the big bath for them.
The only downside was that they were a bit too close to each other after a while (my guys are pretty tall for their age) and in the end, the mat started falling apart anyway, so now we just use the seats and move them a bit further apart from each other.
I'd say definitely a worthy investment!
Fab, had just looked at it myself last week but its a bit early for mine yet as they're only five and half months but will definately get one.
We are definatly getting one of these, can't wait for the splashing to begin!!!
My friend has one of these and it is great - although it still doesn't help them to like their hair being washed!!!

PGFD PROFILE - New Bomb Squad Member - Brandon Goff
Bomb Technician is one of the most sought after positions in our Department and is perhaps the most difficult to attain. The Prince George's County Fire/Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department's Bomb Squad is one of 480 accredited squads throughout the country. Of that number, approximately 50 are operated by fire departments. The Fire/EMS Department's Bomb Squad covers events and areas outside the realm of a firefighter's usual duties.
Before being considered as a member of the Bomb Squad you must first be a Fire Investigator. This duty entails passing a thorough background check and additional training. Prince George's County Fire Investigators are a highly experienced and talented group that has received several awards for their work including the arrest and conviction of two serial arsonists. It is considered an honor to serve among the men and women that have earned the reputation for being among the best arson investigative group in the country.
Before an individual is even considered for this assignment, he or she must first be a fire investigator; complete arson school; undergo seven months of rigorous preparation in the County Police Training Academy; and attend a six-week training course at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Hazardous Device School (HDS). This is exactly the career path Brandon M. Goff followed to get where he is today.
Fire Chief Eugene A. Jones congratulates Brandon Goff on
his promotion to Fire Fighter/Medic Lieutenant in June 2010
Fire Fighter/Paramedic Lieutenant Brandon Goff, a 12-year veteran of the Fire/EMS Department, is cross-trained as both firefighter and paramedic and has served at several stations throughout Prince George's County. In March 2008, he was assigned to the Fire Investigations unit in the Office of the Fire Marshal, which is under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Scott Hoglander. As a fire investigator, his responsibilities include determining the origin and cause of a fire. In cases where a fire has been deemed criminal in nature, Lieutenant Goff launches an investigation in an effort to identify a suspect. This process involves collecting evidence; maintaining the chain of custody, and completing an accurate report.
Goff attended the FBI HDS in Huntsville, Alabama
Lieutenant Goff, now a certified bomb technician, recently became a member of the Department's Bomb Squad. After six long weeks in Huntsville, Alabama, he successfully completed HDS. One of 23 students in the class, Brandon's day began at 6:45 A.M., with a bus ride from quarters to the training grounds. The typical instruction included basic electronics; explosives and demolition; x-ray technique and interpretation; robot operations; Weapons of Mass Destruction and suspicious packages; locating, disposing and rendering safe.
Goff commented about his experience at HDS, " Twenty-two others shared
this journey with me, and for six weeks we were family."
When asked to describe his experience while in Huntsville, Brandon stated, "Of all my professional preparation, including the fire and police academies, HDS is by far the best training I've received since being hired in the Fire/EMS Department. There was never any down time; every day was a full day of learning, practical exercises, or evaluation. Twenty-two others shared this journey with me, and for six weeks we were family. Some were from as far as California and Iowa, others as close as Georgia and Tennessee. One person represented a Fire Marshal's office, another was from the FBI, and the remaining twenty individuals were from police departments. I was the only person representing a fire department. Each of us is now part of a much larger family of approximately 2,500 bomb technicians throughout the country. Obviously, due to the nature of the bomb squad's business, I really can't say much about what I actually did in school. But, I can say that what I learned is just the tip of the iceberg, as it relates to this profession." Lieutenant Goff also commended his instructors, former military EOD and civilian bomb technicians, all of whom he believes are very knowledgeable in their blocks of instruction.
Goff goes through a vitals check on his first call as a member of the
Bomb Squad on Kentucky Avenue in District Heights.
Brandon Goff recently operated on his first "bomb call." Although now skilled in the basics, he realizes there is much more to learn and experience as a bomb technician. Prior to completing HDS, his role with the bomb squad was restricted to driving the truck to incidents; assisting squad members with donning and doffing their bomb apparel; setting up certain equipment; and occasionally processing x-rays. Expressing his 'post graduation' feelings about responding on a call, Goff exclaimed, "It's like being called up out the minors and into the pros! I suit-up and go down range to examine the suspicious package or an improvised explosive device (IED), take an x-ray, disrupt the device, operate the robot, and cover VIP details and more."
There are several veteran members of the Department on the Bomb Squad. Some are assigned to Fire Investigations, while others work in various areas throughout the Department. Regardless of their current assignments, each is diligent to maintain his or her bomb technician certification. Bomb technicians receive an additional 9 percent in special duty pay, but Goff doesn't feel the extra pay is what makes being a member of the squad special. "I think the true benefit is the training and skill that not too many people have. "There aren't as many bomb technicians in the country as there are police officers, firefighters, and paramedics," he says.
Bomb Squad Member Goff wears the protective equipment
required to approach the suspicious package located in the
basement of a house in District Heights.
To the men and women in our organization who aspire to be members of the Bomb Squad, Lieutenant Goff advises, "Pay attention to positions and/or opportunities to transfer into the Fire Investigations unit of the Marshal's office. Once assigned to this office, becoming an investigator and attending the County Police Academy is mandatory to be considered for the Bomb Squad. That's exactly what I did. I applied and was selected, went through a police academy, completed origin and cause, and finally on to HDS."
Brandon Goff, 32 years-old, is originally from Alexandria, Louisiana. When he's not working, he enjoys hanging out with family and friends; beta testing games for Sony; attending auto shows, sporting events and concerts; and taking in a movie with his wife. His future goals include maintaining his certifications for paramedic, fit testing, law enforcement and bomb technician. He sees himself progressing up the ranks as far as he can go, even Bomb Commander. Brandon plans are to seize every opportunity for continuing education and training, including K-9 School (bomb or accelerant dog). He is currently working toward obtaining a college degree; with 60 credits under his belt, he's halfway there.
Brandon and wife Kristina are expecting their first child in March. He desires to be a great husband and dad, and looks forward to the day when he can retire and move back south.

PGFD PROFILE - New Bomb Squad Member - Brandon Gof...


Since taking support from the long-term base level of ₹170 per mmBtu in late February 2017, the MCX-Natural Gas contract has been on a medium-term uptrend. After retracing 50 per cent Fibonacci retracement level of the contract's prior downtrend, it encountered a key resistance at around ₹215 in early April. Last week, the contract took support at around ₹195 and bounced up, gaining 5 per cent. It now faces resistance level of ₹215 ahead. The daily relative strength index is on the brink of entering the bullish zone from the neutral region. A strong break above ₹215 will alter the intermediate-term downtrend and take the contract higher to ₹230 and ₹240 in the medium term. A further rally beyond ₹240 can take the contract to ₹250 and ₹264 in the long run. However, if the contract fails to move beyond ₹215, this can keep it moving sideways in the band between ₹195 and ₹215 for some time. A downward break of ₹195 can pull it down to ₹180 and to ₹170.

Q: Blank under footer No matter how hard I tried, there's still a blank under the footer of my project.
"Stuck like glue.":(
Here is the code: http://jsfiddle.net/XxB6Y/13/
I know there must be something wrong, but I do not know where. Please, help me.
Thank you so so so much.

A: You use height:100%; on a number of elements. Take those off, and the footer space will go away.
In this case, if you need to set the height, try to use pixel units, rather than a percentage.

Q: Unity InjectionProperty generates null property The various posts here do not show why every time I attempt to use the InjectionProperty() construct in Unity 2.0 (April) it never populates the properties in my resolved instance.  They are always null.  I can see in the debugger that the object is created, but the first reference to the property that is supposed to be injected is always a null reference exception.  There must be something very fundamentally wrong in what I am doing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have traversed many paths on the Internet to determine how to use Unity to do Property Injection, and I still end up with an instantiated object with a null property that is supposed to be injected.  So it dies.
There are several issues:
1) Where are these PropertyInjector objects visible in the debugger?  No amount of mining has revealed these, so I cannot determine if they are 'ready to inject'.
2) The object with the property does indeed instantiate via Resolve but it never gets a property value (the property is an ILog object).
I am at my wit's end, which admittedly might be a short piece of rope, but what the heck is going on with this?  Any insights.
Here's the  code:
// (Unity 2.1, May something or other drop, so I think this is the latest )

public class RuntimeFilesRepository:IFilesRepository
{
...
...
...

// A customized version of the standard Log4Net ILog

public ILog Logger {get;set;}
...
...

 public RuntimeFilesRepository()
{
...
...

// INJECTION NEEDS TO HAPPEN BEFOE THIS, BUT NEVER DOES, SO THIS IS A NULL OBJECT

Logger.Debug("I do like my CaesarSalad with the extra chicken");

}

// and the registration looks like this:**

public void WireUp()
{

...
...

// a container

        ParentContainer = new UnityContainer();

// this thing is really helpful!!!

//  [https://github.com/dbuksbaum/unity.extensions][1]

        ParentContainer.AddNewExtension<**TypeTrackingExtension**>();

// and the Logger type

        ParentContainer.RegisterType<ILog, Log4NetLog>("Logger",
                                                 new InjectionFactory(
                                                     factory => LogManager.GetLogger("Visual Element Migrator")));

// and an instance of an ILog.  It can be referred to as 'LoggingService'
// to use as a resolved parameter to inject

 ILog Logger = ParentContainer.Resolve<ILog>("Logger");
        ParentContainer.RegisterInstance("LoggingService", Logger, new LifeTimeManager());

...
...

//various Logger log statements from the resolved ILog object work here as we plod along, by the way

...
...

// then the next statement works, type is registered, shows up in the debugger,
// but where the heck are the injection properties???

    DataServicesContainer.RegisterType<IFilesRepository,RuntimeFilesRepository>(new InjectionProperty("Logger", Logger));

// I have tried 3 different variants of the above InjectionProperty() to no avail.

// runtime files repo, want a singleton
// allow Unity to resolve the  RUN TIME files repositoryand hold onto reference

// DOES NOT WORK.  Apparently instantiates RuntimeFilesRepository,  but does not inject the ILog to the Logger property

            var filesRepo = DataServicesContainer.Resolve<RuntimeFilesRepository>();

// *never gets here where I try to register the object so it can be REUSED in other contexts....*

            DataServicesContainer.RegisterInstance<IFilesRepository>("FilesRepositoryDataService", filesRepo,  new LifeTimeManager()); // to inject, singleton

...
...
// lots more of the same sort of class register and instantiate stuff
...
...

}

I do see in several locations that marking a property with
 [Dependency]
seems  to be required, and other places where it says those markings will be overridden by the use of the InjectionProperty object in code.  Discussion is ambiguous.
I am  greatly afeared that Unity = DisUnity
and I may have screwed myself even trying to use it.
