We are Harper Adams Marrow - A student run branch of Anthony Nolan. Marrow exists in over 55 universities and we sign people up to the bone marrow register.
People with leukaemia, and other blood cancers, sometimes need a bone marrow or stem cell transplant to survive. Only 1/3 of people can find a match in their family - the rest need an unrelated donor. However there are millions of different tissue types, and so it can very hard to find a match. Without a donation of healthy stem cells, the patient will die.
By getting more people on the register, we increase chances of finding a match for someone.
We run clinics throughout the year on campus, signing people up to the bone marrow register.
We are one of the newest Marrow groups in the country. We also aimt to do lots of fundraising too, as it costs £100 to put one person on the register, so we raise as much as we can to fund this.
Finally, as all good socieites do, we like to have amazing socials, to reward ourselves for all the hard work we do.
By volunteering with us, you can help at clinics and fundraisers, and really make a difference. You need to attend a training session first, so email us as harperadams@ukmarrow.org to find out when these are.

So, that Billie Eilish, hey?
If you have no idea who we are talking about, you're not alone, but the 17-year-old California-bred singer/songwriter is pretty popular right now.
Apparently, she is this year's buzziest new pop star, and her song When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? "connects goth ideas across generations".
With angsty, introspective lyrics that don't shy away from issues of mental health, she endeared herself to a devoted audience during her breakthrough years in the late 2010s when she was still just a teenager. On the heels of a sold-out headlining tour, she issued her debut album, 2019's When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Eilishgrew up in a household of actors and musicians and was home schooled along with her brother Finneas O'Connell (the Slightlys). At the age of eight, she joined the Los Angeles Children's Choir, developing the soulful vocals that would later appear on her early singles. After the release of the pop-leaning "Six Feet Under" and "Fingers Crossed," Eilish made her breakthrough with "Ocean Eyes," produced and co-written with her brother Finneas and released by Interscope.
You clearly grew up in a household of actors and musicians when your brother is called Finneas. You can read the rest of that bio here.
Cool, if that's your thing.
Look at us, learning to appreciate Billie's music together.
By the way, she's done pretty well on the money front, and Seventeen estimates that she is worth somewhere between $5 and $6 million.
At that age, I was scraping together coins to buy a bottle of Tassies from the 7-Eleven.
If you want to learn more about the pop star sensation, the Atlantic did an excellent piece on her last week, which you can read here.


While the vessel was loading at an unnamed Gulf port, a bridge and lock were damaged.
As a result the vessel was unable to leave the berth until 14 days after she had completed loading.
The Owners claimed damages for detention from the Charterers for the period of delay.
The arbitrator, Ian Kinnell QC, found the warranty applied to entry but not departure, following London Arbitration 11/97 (1997) LMLN 463.
In the absence of other authority, Mr Justice Robin Knowles CBE, found the warranty to include departure, as a matter of ordinary language.

Q: Problemas com cache no google chrome Estou fazendo umas alterações num site e essas alterações envolvem páginas em ASP Clássico e Javascript. O que está passando é que sempre altero o javascript, salvo e jogo ele no meu servidor ele não atualiza. Ele sobrescreve o antigo, porém quando vou utilizar as alterações realizadas ele continua referenciando a versão anterior. Para resolver isso tenho sempre que reiniciar a máquina, aí sim, as alterações feitas são utilizadas. Como eu sempre trabalho com o Dev Tools do Chrome aberto, eu marquei a opção Cache Disabled, mas mesmo assim não funcionou, só reiniciando a máquina. Alguém sabe o que tenho que fazer para resolver esse problema que me incomoda? Reiniciar um máquina hoje, demando pelo menos entre 5 a 20 min, fazendo isso umas 10 a 15 vezes por dia, isso é um tempo perdido muito grande.

A: Se o Cache disabled não funcionou vou orientar a limpar o cache manualmente ou mesmo usar uma extensão para limpar o cache sempre como o Cache Killer.

A: o problema está resolvido, mas uma coisa não conseguir entender. Possivelmente já estivesse assim e só agora notei. O seguinte: Eu dou Ctrl+R, Ctrl+F5, Recarregar e nada. Bem, fiz isso ontem e nada dava certo, continuava com o arquivo .js não atualizado. Bem, depois de uns 20min observei que funcionou. Fiz outra atualização no arquivo e fiz todo esse processo e não atualizou. Aí lembrei dessa espera, deixei lá e depois de uns 30min, fui testar e funcionou. Hoje a mesma coisa aconteceu, logo alguma coisa que eu não sei o que é está tipo, "travando" a atualização e depois, sei lá o que, funciona. Talvez seja possível que nem precise descarregar cache, ou seja, depois de um tempo o próprio browser reconhece as alterações. Parece estranho, mas é isso que está acontecendo aqui. É só esperar que volta a funcionar. Tudo isso sem reiniciar a máquina. Closed case.

Rawlings never complained about the size of my house – ET Mensah
Wed, 4 Aug 2021 Source: www.ghanaweb.com
•There have been speculations that Rawlings was astounded by the size of ET Mensah's house
•ET Mensah says it is not true as Rawlings never made a comment about the size of his house
•ET Mensah served as Sports Minister under Rawlings' government
Enoch Teye Mensah (E.T. Mensah), a minister under the Rawlings administration has denied speculations that then-President Jerry John Rawlings got dumbfounded the first time he visited his house.
In what could best be described as a Ghanaian political tale, Rawlings is said to have been shocked by the size of E.T. Mensah's Tema residence.
Upon seeing the edifice Rawlings is said to have exclaimed in Ga "kw3 Nii oshia n3" to wit Nii, is that your house?
When E.T. Mensah appeared on Metro TV Good Evening Ghana on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, a viewer sought clarity on the issue by sending a text to the show.
Mr Mensah in his response said no incident like that ensued between him the late Jerry John Rawlings.
He confirmed that Rawlings visited his house on few occasions but never did the size of his house become a topic.
"It's not true. Absolutely not true. He's been there a few times. Even when Prof died I hosted him there a few times. They said there was an automatic gate but in those days there none here in Ghana," he said.
E.T. Mensah was a member of parliament for Ningo-Prampram from 1997 to 2017 where he was unseated by his protégé Sam Nartey George.
He served in different ministerial portfolios in the Rawlings and Atta Mills administrations.
He also served as Chief Executive Officer of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly.

Casting Rumors For Love & Hip Hop Atlanta!
Let's take a quick poll, shall we? What would you rather watch–the original Love & Hip Hop or the astonishingly crazy, can't look away train wreck that is Love & Hip Hop Atlanta? I don't even need to tally the votes. VH1 needs to learn that if it's going to air a scripted, polished soap opera while calling it a reality show, we need to see more craziness a la Joseline. Am I right?
While most viewers are politely watching this season, I can't help but think that they are doing so out of respect for the new member of the L&HH franchise. If we're going to watch fake reality television, the network should be decent enough to give us more ridiculous drama. Is that asking too much? Apparently not…read on!
Vibe Vixen is reporting that VH1 is already revamping its Atlanta addition…even as the original show continues to air. At least they are thinking of us…
The show is reportedly courting Chavante Che Mack, who is touted as a Stevie protege, and DJ Traci Steele from Atalnta radio station Hot 107.9. This wouldn't be nearly as newsworthy if the two women weren't connected to the man everyone loves to hate–Stevie J. He knows how to rile up those around him, that's for sure!
Insiders are claiming that after Stevie stole the show on the franchise's first season with a pregnancy scare with Joseline and love hectagon including longtime love Mimi Faust, Mona Scott Young wants to cash in on more of Stevie's music scene. Up until typing that I'd forgotten that Stevie has an actual music career.
It's no secret (at least among RT readers) that Atlanta has far surpassed New York in terms of the franchise's popularity. It will be very interesting to see what the new casting situation brings to the table. More drama will be at the forefront, of that I have no doubt!

America's number-one game is back!
Watching an NFL preseason game in comparison to a regular-season game is like night and day. All 32 teams are in many ways showing why the NFL game is, by a wide margin, America's number-one sport.
In the early 1980s, the NFL passed Major League Baseball (MLB) as the number-one-viewed game in the United States. As we know, MLB may have fallen even further behind in 2018 because of dwindling numbers. One factor could be that 75 percent of the NFL players are Black, while only eight percent of MLB players are American-born Black.
The controversial protests by some players during the national anthem the last two years, ignited by quarterback Colin Kaepernick, have been a source of division among the owners, fans, some media and players. Some sports fans were irritated with the players' choice to protest and their right to do so.
Vikings players, you may have noticed, have stayed away from even talking about the swirling protest, much less taking a knee.
Many claim it's not how you start but how you finish but the Vikings' 24-16 victory over San Francisco Sunday was important. This week, the team will travel to Green Bay for an early Division tussle that will test which team can take early control of the NFC North.
Green Bay rallied to beat the Bears Sunday night in the two teams'197th meeting. If the Packers, celebrating their 100th season, were to win, they would be 2-0 in the Division.
This Vikings team, however, with quarterback Kirk Cousins and this dominating defense —that forced four turnovers against the 49ers — has the potential to be among the best in franchise history. Their eyes as a team are clearly on the big prize.

11th SPA, (8/3/2003 – 3/7/2009)
12th SPA, (3/8/2009 – 4/13/2012)
Note: The SPA is supposed to be elected every five years, which means that the 9th SPA should have ended in May 1995; however, we mark its end with the death of Kim Il Sung as no sessions of the 9th SPA were held after his death and the 10th SPA elections were delayed.)
A short statement from the KCNA last week announced that "the 6th session of the 12th Supreme People's Assembly will convene in Pyongyang on the 25th." The Invisible College of North Korea Watchers immediately went into overdrive, speculating on why the leadership would call an unusual—but not unprecedented--second session for this year. Before turning to that issue, its worthwhile backing up and taking a look at the nature and history of the SPA, summarized in the table above.
As with China's National People's Congress and the Soviet Union's Supreme Soviet, the Supreme People's Assembly is nominally an elected legislative body and the formal source of state power. In line with the concept of democratic centralism, however, the SPA is effectively appointed. The party nominates a single slate of candidates that is then elected with 99 percent unanimity. The North Koreans take their voting seriously; such results are designed to demonstrate the overwhelming strength of the party.
As with the party congress, the legislative significance of the full SPA—miniscule to begin with—underwent a secular decline as Kim Il Sung consolidated power. As can be seen above, early sessions of the SPA would last a few days at least and even include debate. Following the death of Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il suspended meetings of the SPA altogether. When meetings resumed, both their duration and frequency continued to fall until they met less than once a year and for no more than a day.
But that does not mean that the SPA meetings are insignificant. Regular SPA sessions convene in April to pass decisions taken by the leadership into law, including the budget and personnel decisions, such as the staffing of the cabinet and nominally state bodies such as the National Defense Commission. But both regular and irregular meetings have also been used to signal policy, institutional and even constitutional changes, including those connected with the two successions in 1990-93 and now 2010 to the present. The SPA is in effect a mechanism for communicating the overall policy direction to the government, party and population as a whole.
Given that no one really knows anything about what will transpire later in the month, the best we can do is outline the possibilities (drawing on conversations organized by the indefatigable Chris Nelson).
Constitutional amendments. We have absolutely no evidence that this may be in the works, but it is has to be put on the menu as an outside possibility. The North Korean constitution was adopted in 1948 and then revised in 1972, 1992 (setting the stage for the first transition), and 1998 (consolidating that transition). During the passage of power from Kim II to Kim III, the constitution was further amended in both 2009 and at the first session of the SPA in April of this year (We commented at length on this meeting). If the regime really wanted to signal a change in course, it could enshrine some of the new measures in a constitutional revision, but given the frequency of recent tinkering we put this as an outside possibility.
Institutional changes. The constitutional changes that set the stage for Kim Jong Un's assumption of power also overlapped with a speech to the party leadership that suggested an increasing role for the cabinet in policy implementation. Recent reporting by the Voice of America cites unnamed intelligence analysts claiming "a process is underway to strip North Korea's military of its control over major economic policies and place them under the Cabinet." The SPA could attempt to signal such changes.
Personnel changes. We commented at length on recent personnel changes, and particularly the purge of Ri Yong Ho. SPAs have been used to announce major personnel changes. Yonsei's John Delury pointed out to us that these might include: filling Ri Yong Ho's vacant spot on the National Defense Commission; replacing Premier Choe Yong Rim, who was promoted at the 2nd annual session of SPA in 2010 and thus reflects the late Kim Jong Il team; or bringing in new faces in conjunction with reform announcements.
Policy changes. Most speculation, however, centers on the non-mutually exclusive possibility of new reform legislation. As we have emphasized repeatedly, the evidence with respect to the reforms remains thin, consisting of three disconnected bits: reforms of investment legislation at the very end of the Kim Jong Il era; several speeches Kim Jong Un has made that remain highly contradictory; and reports of pilot reforms in the agricultural sector. Despite the highly centralized nature of the North Korean system and the tremendous discretion exercised by the leadership, any change in policy would still have to be codified in laws and directives; indeed, for a system in which the rule of law is so weak, North Korea is surprisingly legalistic. Our bet is that such legal measures are likely to be on offer, perhaps multiple bills covering differing elements of economic policy.
For other coverage, Choe Song-hun has a particularly good overview at The New York Times that is worth reading closely.

Q: How to remove unnecessary "and" in inflect num to words python package I'm using the python package inflect to convert numbers to words. I would like to know how I can have inflect convert the numbers the right way without unnecessary "and" in the end result.
Here's my code
from datetime import date
import inflect, sys
def main():
    print(time_check(input("What's your DOB?: ")))

def time_check(check):
    p = inflect.engine()
    year, month, day = check.split("-")
    year, month, day = int(year), int(month), int(day)
    dob = date(year, month, day)
    diff = date.today() - dob

    # Convert days to minutes & then use inflect to convert the number to words
    ans = p.number_to_words(diff.days*24*60)
    return f"{ans.capitalize()} minutes"

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

When I input "2021-10-10" as my Date of Birth(DOB), ans will become
ans = p.number_to_words(525,600)

This will then print "Five hundred and twenty five-thousand, six hundred minutes" but I don't want that as that is partially incorrect.
I want my code to print "Five hundred twenty five-thousand, six hundred minutes" without the "and".
I know I can use the replace method to replace the "and" with an empty string, but I don't want to do that. I want the inflect python package to convert numbers to words using this right way.
I hope you guys can understand the problem here & hope to get your help.

A: Just set andword in number_to_words() as it is 'and' by default. See the inflect documentation for more details.
p.number_to_words(diff.days*24*60, andword = '')

This will print the following directly (for 2021-10-10):
Five hundred twenty-five thousand, six hundred minutes

Why Cataracts?
The HelpMeSee Difference
HelpMeSee is a US-based, international nonprofit making great strides every year toward our goal of eliminating the backlog of cataract-caused blindness and vision impairment. More than 100 million people suffer from cataracts, 20 million bilaterally blind, 90 percent of them living in the developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America where we work. In these countries there may be just one ophthalmologist per million residents … or none.
In just the past six years, working with more than 300 surgery partners whom we have trained in live surgery and with our courseware, as well as trained community health professionals, HelpMeSee has developed standards and tools for cataract surgery that ensure maximum patient safety and successful outcomes. This has resulted in sight-restoring operations for more than 250,000 people, often in impoverished, rural locations, who had otherwise no hope.
At present, HelpMeSee is well on our way to developing a unique, virtual-reality, cataract-surgery simulator with which we expect to train 30,000 surgery specialists by 2030 to perform this life-restoring, low-risk, low-cost operation.
Locally sustainable health solutions are at the center of our campaign, and the only way to provide the ongoing care needed to end cataract blindness is by increasing the number of local specialists. That's why we place an emphasis on training and empowering local partners.
We have worked closely with medical professionals on the ground to standardize the quality of care, the medical supply chain and evaluation practices to create a replicable model for eye care worldwide. Thanks in part to the revolution in mobile and cloud-based technologies, we can deploy our outreach and monitoring tools to partners in any part of the world and see results in real time.
The challenges to end cataract blindness are numerous – too few surgeons, low patient awareness, limited access to quality instruments and facilities, etc. So HelpMeSee focuses on a comprehensive solution to cataract blindness, one which includes surgical training, patient outreach, and support for sight-restoring cataract procedures. Our technology-driven solutions are built address all dimensions of this global health crisis.
The inspiration for the HelpMeSee campaign began in the late 1970s. It was then that Albert L. Ueltschi dedicated himself to fighting blindness in the developing world. He was convinced that training for local specialists serving their own communities was the answer.
As founder and leader of FlightSafety International, the world's foremost aviation training company, he thought that he had the skills and dedication to make a difference. Today, FlightSafety is part of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. FSI is a global leader in aviation simulation technology training, providing more than 3,000 individual courses for 135 aircraft types, using more than 300 simulators to serve customers from 154 countries.
Al also co-founded and led Orbis International for 30 years. A global non-profit best known for its "Flying Eye Hospital," Al Ueltschi lead the effort to outfit the original McDonnell Douglas DC-8 airplane and later, its successor, the DC-10 wide body. For the first time, volunteer ophthalmologists could reach out to all corners of the globe to treat avoidable blindness of all types and strengthen eye care practices in developing countries through training.
Al realized that while the Flying Eye Hospital program continued to do great work, it lacked the scalability needed to provide access to the millions of cataract-blind, which is the single largest cause of treatable blindness.
It wasn't long into the new millennium when he began investigating the possible use of high-fidelity simulation technology and other aviation instructional techniques to train highly skilled cataract specialists to solve the problem of access to cataract treatment. Al co-founded HelpMeSee with his son, Jim Ueltschi, with a singular purpose: to eliminate cataract blindness.
He brought to HelpMeSee more than a half a century's experience in simulation-based aviation training to successfully design and develop a virtual reality eye surgical simulator to train to proficiency 30,000 cataract specialists.
Al passed away in October 2012, but not before signing the Giving Pledge along with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. Together with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the A.L. Ueltschi Foundation and the Jim Ueltschi Foundation collectively contributed the start-up costs to launch the HelpMeSee campaign to eliminate blindness caused by cataracts.

Cornucopianism is the idea that continued progress and provision of material items for mankind can be met by similarly continued advances in technology. It relies on the belief that there is enough matter and energy on the Earth to provide for the population of the world, which appears adequate to give humanity almost unlimited room for growth.

The term comes from the cornucopia, the "horn of plenty" of Greek mythology, which magically supplied its owners with endless food and drinks.  Adherents are called "cornucopians" or sometimes "boomsters", in contrast to doomers, whose views are more aligned with Malthusianism."

Theory

As a society becomes more wealthy, it also creates a well-developed set of legal rules to produce the conditions of freedom and security that progress requires.

In Progress and Poverty written in 1879, after describing the powerful reproductive forces of nature, the political economist Henry George wrote, "That the earth could maintain a thousand billions of people as easily as a thousand millions is a necessary deduction from the manifest truths that, at least so far as our agency is concerned, matter is eternal and force must forever continue to act."

Julian Simon was one of the best known cornucopian thinkers in modern times who suggested in his book, The Ultimate Resource, published in 1981, that humans have always found a way in the past to develop and enhance past resources over virtually any roadblock. He suggested that while resources may come and go, the knowledge that can come from a bigger population, and thus more manpower/intellect, humanity would continuously be able to find newer sources of energy. Simon did argue however that in order for humans to seek innovation and new sources of energy, free markets must be present to place value on sources of energy through their price to produce and use. Once the price of a certain resource become too high due to lack of supply, it would encourage new research into alternative sources to seek cheaper energy.

Description by an opposing view

Stereotypically, a cornucopian is someone who posits that there are few intractable natural limits to growth and believes the world can provide a practically limitless abundance of natural resources.  The label 'cornucopian' is rarely self-applied, and is most commonly used derogatorily by those who believe that the target is overly optimistic about the resources that will be available in the future.

One common example of this labeling is by those who are skeptical of the view that technology can solve, or overcome, the problem of an exponentially-increasing human population living off a finite base of natural resources.  Cornucopians might counter that human population growth has slowed dramatically, and not only is currently growing at a linear rate, but is projected to peak and start declining in the second half of the 21st century. However, more recent projections have the global population rising to 11 billion by 2100 with continued growth into the next century. Furthermore, it always has in the past, even when population was increasing at a far faster rate.

Criticism
Lindsey Grant accuses cornucopians, especially Julian Simon and Herman Kahn, of making arguments with logical flaws, omissions and oversights and of making assumptions and choosing methodologies that ignore or dismiss the most critical issues.

Regular exercise and a vegan lifestyle help with a positive, energetic outlook, especially when performing.
Alissa White-Gluz proves health and rock'n'roll can coexist
Life on the road is tough. Now consider the toughness level of a woman in a Heavy Metal band, touring the world, and singing extreme vocals in a predominantly male genre of music—from the road crew and fellow musicians to the fans. It's a lifestyle with many casualties, both mental and physical.
"There are two types of people: those who are cut out for this life and those who aren't," says Alissa White-Gluz, lead vocalist for Arch Enemy. The blue-haired, wailing- banshee beauty was back in her hometown to play an evening slot at Heavy Montréal. "Some people have talent and practice every day but if they can't tough it on the road, it's probably not going to work out for them. It's a rough life."
Alissa spoke with Montréal enSanté moments after her adrenaline-fuelled set at last year's festival and a day after her 30th birthday. "It's just a number to me," she admits, adding that with a decade of performing under her belt she feels quite a bit wiser and more mature than most of her peers.
As for all of the trappings of a Heavy Metal lifestyle, she puts the notion of partying 24/7 to rest. "We're so dedicated to this band we don't abuse our bodies. We have to perform the next day so we keep it professional. There are some bands who can party every night and pull it off but we've done something like 260 shows in the last 18 months and that's not counting all the flying, running around, the photo shoots and media obligations, so we have to eat right, get enough sleep and exercise, simple as that."
And it helps that her boyfriend often joins her on tour. "It alleviates the mental grind of touring, for sure. We get to work out together every day with the help of an adjustable bench, some block weights, skipping rope, and yoga mats. None of it takes up much room on the tour bus."
Regular exercise and a vegan lifestyle help with a positive, energetic outlook, especially when performing. Returning to her hometown to sing and bang her head (not literally) on the main stage was a dream come true for the West Island girl who still rents an apartment in the city.
"I was looking forward to this show the most, and not just for me but for the whole band," she says. "Montreal is always a receptive audience when it comes to Metal music. And it was so nice to have my mom and my sister and my roommate on the side of the stage. A part of me was thinking, 'Oh no, there's so much more pressure now.' But the love from the audience, especially a Montreal audience, really made it cool."

Q: Dragging and dropping an object causes Firefox 33.1 to jump to an invalid URL EDITED: I didn't make this clear enough before...
I am developing an application using jQuery and AngularJS. Part of the app involves dragging a element and dropping it onto another. The problem is that when I srop the element, Firefox tries to load a new URL, which it tells me is invalid.
I have managed to replicate the problem in Plunker:
 http://plnkr.co/edit/PGYH67vKp2WoT7xbZTcs?p=preview
JS:
var app = angular.module('plunker', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  var dragElement = document.getElementById("dragElement");
  dragElement.addEventListener("dragstart", dragstart);

  var dropBox = document.getElementById("dropBox");
  dropBox.addEventListener("drop", drop);
  dropBox.addEventListener("dragover", dragover);

  function dragstart(e) {
    e.dataTransfer.setData("Text", e.target.attributes["data-drag"].value);
    e.dataTransfer.effectAllowed = "copyMove";
  }

  function dragover(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
  }

  function drop(e) {
    alert("dropped");
  }
});

HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title></title>
    <link data-require="jqueryui" data-semver="1.10.0" rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.10.0/css/smoothness/jquery-ui-1.10.0.custom.min.css" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />

    Drag me to the red box in Firefox

If you go to the bottom of the javascript to the function drop(e) and then comment out the alert, the browser tries to go somewhere else. Leave the alert and the page stays put.
This only happens in Firefox. Chrome, IE and Opera work fine. Safari won't let me drop, but that's a different story.
Many thanks!
Craig

A: Have you tried using the Profiler in Chrome - this could give you some insight into where the request is being generated. However, it sounds like a deep seated Firefox issue to me.
EDIT: OK got it....
You need to add e.preventDefault(); to the drop function as well as the dragover.

A: I had the same problem:
I first used setData/getData("something", "somethingelse"), which worked perfectly (in Firefox, but not in Internet Explorer...), and then replaced "something" by "text". After that, I had the same problem you described. Using event.preventDefault() in the ondrop callback (not only in the ondragover callback!) helped me, as Jon Arnott suggested.

Q: C - recursive permutations in lexicographical order I am trying to make permutations of strings with up to 8 characters. The problem is it must be done with recursion and it must be in lexicographical order. I found one solution with the recursion but it only works for 4 characters max. After that, it starts to mess up again.
void swap(char* a, char* b){
    char temp = *a;
    *a = *b;
    *b = temp;
}

void recursion(char* arr, int start, int n){
    if (start == (n-1)){
        printf("%s\n", arr);
        return;
    }

    for (int i = start; i < n; i++){
        recursion(arr, start+1, n);
        swap(arr+start+1, arr+n-1);
        int j = start+1;
        while (j < n && arr[start] > arr[j]){
            j++;
        }

        if (j >= n){
            continue;
        }
        swap(arr+start, arr+j);
    }
    swap(arr+start+1, arr+n-1);
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char arr[9];
    char charakter;
    int m = 0;
    while (scanf("%c", &charakter) != EOF){
        if (charakter == '\n'){
            break;
        }
        else if (isalpha(charakter) || isdigit(charakter)){
            arr[m] = charakter;
            m++;
        }

        else{
            fprintf(stderr, "Error!\n");
            return 100;
        }
    }

    arr[m] = '\0';

    int n = strlen(arr);
    int start = 0;
    recursion(arr, start, n);
    return 0;
}

Any idea how to fix the recursion function?

A: Your solution is strange, have a look here and here a fix:
void recursion(char *arr, int start, int n) {
  if (start == n) {
    printf("%s\n", arr);
    return;
  }

  for (int i = start; i < n; i++) {
    swap(arr + start, arr + i);
    recursion(arr, start + 1, n);
    swap(arr + start, arr + i);
  }
}

here a proper solution:
#include <ctype.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

static void recursion(char *str, size_t n, size_t max) {
  if (n < max) {
    recursion(str, n + 1, max);
    for (size_t i = n + 1; i < max; i++) {
      char tmp = str[i];
      str[i] = str[n];
      str[n] = tmp;
      recursion(str, n + 1, max);
      str[n] = str[i];
      str[i] = tmp;
    }
  } else {
    printf("%s\n", str);
  }
}

int main(void) {
  char str[42];
  errno = 0;
  if (scanf("%41s", str) != 1) {
    if (errno != 0) {
      perror("scanf()");
    } else {
      fprintf(stderr, "no input");
    }
    return 1;
  }

  recursion(str, 0, strlen(str));
}

In this lecture organised by M+, Manuel Rabaté, Director of Louvre Abu Dhabi, discusses the building of this twenty-first-century encyclopedic museum as 'a museum of experimentation, and a museum of meeting points'.
Louvre Abu Dhabi opened in November 2017 following a decade of planning and construction. It is the result of a collegial effort between France and the United Arab Emirates to create a visionary museum that inherits the tradition of the French institution while embracing the multicultural dynamics of the Arab world. This aspiration pervades the Jean Nouvel–designed building, which features a low-slung dome that evokes the architecture of a mosque and a mausoleum. The dome is pierced with openings and resembles interwoven palm leaves assembled into a lattice, proposing a contemporary reading of a traditional form. At the core of the museum's mission is the notion of universal human values, which is enacted through collecting and programming activities that bridge the Louvre's long history with the distinctive cultural context of Abu Dhabi. Manuel Rabaté is deeply connected with Louvre Abu Dhabi, through his work at Agence France-Muséums to lay the groundwork for the project, and now as the museum's first director.

Q: MySQL connection ip changes from the specified ip address I have a MySQL database running on a networked computer. I have had no trouble connecting to it in the past. Suddenly, however (after a restart and a weekend), I get
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'x.x.x.y'.

This is exceptionally odd as I am trying to connect by:
mysql -h x.x.x.x -u root

For some reason my the ip address (the final couple digits after the last '.') I am attempting to connect to changes from what I type in.
I am running Ubuntu 12.10.
EDIT: The remote connection is up and ping-able. Mysql is also function properly on the computer.

A: You will need to reset the password.

First start the mysql server instance or daemon with the --skip-grant-tables option. (security setting)

Then Execute these statements.
# mysql -u root mysql
mysql> UPDATE user SET Password=PASSWORD('your_new_password') where USER='root';
mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

Finally, restart the instance/daemon without the --skip-grant-tables option.

You should be able to connect with your new password.

# mysql -u root -p
Enter password: your_new_password`enter code here`

Hope this helps.

A: The IP address/hostname you type in after the -h flag is that of the MySQL server you are connecting to.  The IP address/hostname in your error message is that of the computer you are connecting from.  Likely you had a change in a dynamically-allocated IP address and your user account is not set up to allow access from that account.

National loo upgrade to woo tourists
By SHI JING | China Daily | Updated: 2018-01-20 10:27
The Wangjiangyi No 001 toilet located in Lujiazui area stands out as a tourist attraction. It has a leisure space where people can enjoy the scenery of the nearby riverside region. GAO ERQIANG / CHINA DAILY
Experts say that pleasant toilets don't just mean better living standards for the population - it is also a boon for tourism
In order to achieve its goal of becoming an internationally recognized travel destination, Shanghai has embarked on a number of tourism projects such as Disneyland.
But its efforts do not just include high-profile venues - the city has also preened itself in other areas that are closely related to daily life.
Toilets, for instance, are an integral part of the city's strategy to draw tourists.
For the past three years, Shanghai's authorities have been going to great lengths to improve the state of its public toilets. According to the Shanghai Working Committee on Children and Women, there were 8,700 public toilets in operation in the city as of the end of last year, among which 2,600 were rated as environmentally friendly.
In a public commentary by Wan Zhe, chief economist at the International Cooperation Center which is affiliated to the National Development and Reform Commission, toilets are said to have a significant impact on the tourism economy.
The move to create better spaces for people to relieve themselves is in line with the central government's call for a "toilet revolution" in the country. During a meeting with the country's tourism administrators and companies in late November, President Xi Jinping applauded their efforts in improving the state of public toilets all over the country, stressing that poorly maintained restrooms can impair the standard of living.
In Shanghai, some of the public restrooms have even been turned into tourist attractions. For example, the panda-themed toilet in Shanghai Zoo was last year widely recognized as one of the best public toilets in the city. The move to include information about pandas on the walls of the restroom was applauded by children and their parents.
Meanwhile, the Duolun Road public toilet, which is located at the east entrance of Luxun Park in northeastern Shanghai, has been rated as the most beautiful toilet in the city for three consecutive years since 2014. The 38-square-meter space features a special ceiling that helps to ventilate the area naturally and it even provides commonly available medication, reading glasses and umbrellas for users.

Rep. Cedric Richmond Will Attend Trump's Inauguration
By Anitra BrownIn NewsPosted January 19, 2017
[contentblock id=1 img=gcb.png]
With 65 members of Congress so far—including several members of the Congressional Black Caucus—opting against attending President-elect Donald Trump inauguration Friday, today CBC Chairman and U.S. Rep. Cedric Richmond announced via a statement that he will attend the 58th Presidential Inauguration.
"I have decided to attend the ceremony marking the peaceful transfer of power from one of the greatest, most underappreciated presidents in the modern era to Donald Trump," said Rep. Richmond, who represents Louisiana's 2nd congressional district, which includes much of Orleans Parish. "My attendance is in no way an endorsement of the President-elect or the destructive, divisive rhetoric that has defined him throughout his campaign and transition."
Richmond says he will not be attending the event to celebrate, but rather to "move the ball forward for the underserved throughout this country" with the expectation that President elect Trump will "gain a better understanding of his obligation to be President for all Americans."
Several members of Congress reportedly decided weeks ago against attending the inauguration; however, an increasing number vocalized their plans not to attend Trump's big day recently after the President-elect took to Twitter to disparage a venerable civil rights activist and U.S. Rep. John Lewis after the Georgia Democrat announced that he would not attend the inauguration because he did not consider Trump the legitimate President, citing Russia's interference with the election and that he would.
Of course, Trump took to Twitter to respond, tweeting the following:
"Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results," Trump tweeted Saturday morning. "All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!"
That tweet drew a strong reaction from many of Lewis' colleagues in Congress, with lawmakers from New York to California also taking to social media to chide Trump and declare their intent to forego the inauguration, with some using the #StandWithJohnLewis.
In his printed statement, Richmond says he respects the decisions made by other members of Congress, adding
"I have a deep respect and understanding for the personal decisions made by each member of our caucus," Richmond adds. "As chair, I have a responsibility to take every opportunity to educate the incoming president on the problems faced by our constituents, and the thoughtful solutions our members propose. Also, I feel obliged to say goodbye to the first black president, who was continually disrespected over the course of his time in office. He deserves our gratitude and support."
Here is a running list of Congress members who are planning not to attend the inauguration:
Terri Sewell, D-Ala.

'Hate monger': Obama defines who is eligible for asylum
On Wednesday's episode of " Pat Gray Unleashed," Pat read President Donald Trump's new policy that outlines who is eligible for asylum and he also played audio of former President Barack Obama's definition from 2014.
Pat read the criteria that asylum-seekers must meet, according to Trump's definition of a refugee.
1. An alien who demonstrates that he or she applied for protection from persecution or torture in at least one of the countries through which the alien transited in route to the United States, and the alien received a final judgment denying the alien protection in such country.
2. An alien who demonstrates he or she satisfies the definition of "victim of a severe form of trafficking in persons" or an alien who is transited in route to the United States through only a country or countries that were not parties to the 1951 convention relating to the status of refugees.
Click here to watch the full clip.
According to Pat, Trump was not the only person to "hate" like that. He played footage from 2014 of former President Barack Obama parroting the same sentiment.
According to Obama:
"We permit a certain number of refugees into the United States based on fairly narrow criteria. Typically, refugee status is not granted just based on economic needs because a family that lives in that neighborhood or poverty is typically defined fairly narrowly.
You have a state, for example, who was targeting a political activist and he needed to get out of the country for fear of prosecution or even death. There may be some narrow circumstances in which there is some humanitarian refugee status that a family might be eligible for.
If that were the case, it would be better for them to be able to apply in-country rather than take a very dangerous journey all the way up to Texas to make those same claims.
But I think it is important to recognize that would not necessarily accommodate a large number of additional migrants."
"What a hate monger," Pat joked.

People often ask me what my favorite Chinese cookbook is, and I never can give a simple answer. For one thing, I collect them, and have well over a hundred different titles at this point, some of them brand new, in-print books, and others out of print, some of them even vanishingly rare.
For another thing, I like different books for different reasons. Some books are excellent teaching manuals; they give the beginner excellent instruction in the fundamentals of the art of Chinese cookery. Other volumes teach one aspect of Chinese cookery, such as dim sum, and do it well. Some are great generalized cookbooks, while others focus on a particular single regional cuisine. Some contain clear photographs illustrating techniques and ingredients, others have beautiful scenic photographs, while others are not illustrated at all.
One commonality to all of the cookbooks I favor, Chinese or otherwise, is that they give a great deal of cultural information.
Every recipe has a story, and my very favorite cookbooks are written by authors who are not only excellent cooks and teachers, but also accomplished storytellers. That is why nearly every book on this list, with a few exceptions, are not only good cookbooks for those setting out to learn Chinese cuisine, but also darned good reads for anyone interested in the culinary arts in general. Without further ado, here are some of my favorite Chinese cookbooks meant to instruct beginners, in no particular order, which I think will be helpful and entertaining to beginning and intermediate cooks.
The Key to Chinese Cooking by Irene Kuo: This excellent comprehensive cookbook is unfortunately out of print; however, used copies are easily found at good prices via Bookfinder, Amazon, or eBay. Kuo's precise prose carefully explains the techniques of Chinese cookery in an easily understandable step-by-step format that is illustrated with clear line drawings. Comparable in scope and detail to Julia Child and Simca Beck's Mastering the Art of French Cooking,, this text is very strong on learning technique, particularly proper cutting and ingredient preparation. With over three hundred recipes (for both simple and complex dishes), many of them requiring simple ingredients, this gem is a perfect introduction to Chinese cooking, even for cooks who have limited access to an Asian market. Each recipe is clearly written and includes relevant cultural and historical information, as well as thorough background on ingredients and successful substitutions.
The Modern Art of Chinese Cooking by Barbara Tropp: Another great introduction to the Chinese kitchen, The Modern Art of Chinese Cooking stands as an enduring legacy of the late writer, chef and restaurateur, Barbara Tropp. Not only was Tropp a great chef and teacher, she also told great stories of her experiences in China, many of which were humorous or poignant. In addition, her clear instructions delineate the hows and whys of Chinese cookery, while presenting recipes which are not only authentic in flavor, but are still quite accessible to Western palates. Some readers may criticize her instructions and methodology for being long-winded and needlessly wordy, but I disagree. Her explanations of technique are not wordy, but -complete- with the sort of clear writing necessary to explain complex series of tasks to rank beginners. Anything less thorough runs the risk of losing new cooks. My one quibble with this book is that it lacks sufficient photographic or line-drawing illustrations. Many people learn visually, and I have found in my years of teaching that some students can read a passage of text one hundred times and still have trouble folding a wonton or cutting grass-like slivers of ginger, but when I show them how just once, they understand it completely, and can take their first steps in replicating the action immediately.
Yan-Kit's Classic Chinese Cookbook by Yan-Kit So: For those who learn visually, this heavily-photograph laden cookbook is the answer to a prayer. Every technique outlined in this book by Yan-Kit So's simple, elegant prose, is illustrated by clear, close-up color photographs. Most recipes are similarly illustrated, though not all of them, and every unusual ingredient, particularly the fresh and dried condiments and vegetables, are also photographed. However, this is not just a photographic reference book; it is also a very well-written overview of modern Chinese regional cookery that includes recipes famed in China and abroad. An extremely useful book, this one is destined to be well-thumbed and bespattered with soy sauce and various other condiments from becoming indispensable in the kitchen.
The Breath of a Wok by Grace Young: Some may think this is an odd choice for a beginner's Chinese cookbook, and in some ways it is. However, I think it is very useful for a student to understand the history and the culture surrounding a cuisine at the same time as they learn the more practical aspects of it. In this light, The Breath of a Wok makes much more sense; it is both a personal and historical view of the culture surrounding the development and use of woks in Chinese cookery. The recipes included in the book are an eclectic mixture of homestyle cooking and restaurant fare, with examples of traditional interpretations and modern innovations. In a sense, this very stunningly illustrated book is a testament to the enduringly ancient, yet flexible nature of Chinese cookery, both in its homeland and around the world. In addition to narrative about the wok in history, there is extensive information on how to find and buy one in the here and now, as well as instructions on how to cook in one on a modern American stove to most effectively attain wok hay–the elusive fragrance that comes from high heat and oil-seasoned metal.
The Chinese Kitchen by Deh-Ta Hsiung: This book is less of a cookbook, and more of a reference work on the ingredients common to the kitchens of China. Liberally illustrated with clear photographs, Hsiung's text is encyclopedic in scope and very easily read and used by a beginner. Filled with cultural information, cooking tips and with recipes for each ingredient entry, The Chinese Kitchen gives the beginner a verbal and visual reference point to many of the unfamiliar staples, foods, condiments and packaged goods at the neighborhood Asian market. The descriptions are written so as to give plenty for the curious beginner or intermediate cook to chew on without being overwhelmingly technical, and the photographs, whether of the ingredients themselves, of finished dishes or of Chinese open air markets, are enlightening and inspiring. I cannot recommend this book enough–it is one that I return to often as a cook, a writer and a teacher.
There we have it–my favorite Chinese cookbooks for beginners. Look for further entries in the future on the subjects of Chinese cookbooks for advanced cooks, for instruction on regional cookery and cookbooks on specialized topics.
Until then, happy reading, cooking and eating!
I am like this about Indian cookbooks. I collect them, and on my recent trip to India came back with a BIG bag of them to mull over. Ahhhhhhhhh…..
This is great for me. I'm not experienced at all with Chinese cooking, and I'm very interested in it. Growing up, my mother did all the Chinese cooking in the house, and did it wonderfully. I'm sorry I didn't pay closer attention to her. I'm going book shopping!
Thanks for this really informative article. I'll see what I can find on Amazon.
Diane–I collect Indian and Thai cookbooks, too. I just don't have as many of them as I do Chinese cookbooks!
I am glad to see that the list has been useful to everyone! Happy book hunting!
Fuscia Dunlop's Land of Plenty is also great for various levels. Her Chinese recipes are fantastic and beat restaurant food anyday. I've heard good things about her new Hunan book too.
Kady, I love both of those cookbooks–I have reviewed them both here, in fact! I am going to include them in another list of favorite Chinese cookbooks. I was going to do a general "my favorite Chinese cookbooks" post, but it just kept going, and going, so I decided to break it up into several categories.
Dunlop's works will go into the "regional Chinese cookbooks" category.
Wow! I just got "The Chinese Kitchen" by Deh-Ta Hsiung, and realized to my great pleasure it is by the same publisher, and in the same format as one of my favorite cookbooks – "The Indian Spice Kitchen" by Monisha Bharadwaj. That one is sadly out of print (mosre sadly so since mine fell in the sink and is now all battle-scarred and water stained and pages warped from water). Both seem to be less cookbooks than GREAT reference books. Sensual photos, practical advice, clear descriptions of spices and how they are used.
I love it. Thanks again for steering me to it.
I am glad you like that book, too. I also have Monisha Baradwaj's book, too, and love it as well.
They are both awesome, and I am glad you have them both. They are some of the best resources out there.
Thanks for the advice on beginner books. I just ordered Kuo's and Yan-Kit's from Ebay for under $20 combined(including shipping).

The capsule line was unveiled in a Miaou branded pop-up location inside of Opening Ceremony's LA store on June 20th where items will be on display through June 26th, and later be available for the duration of the season at Opening Ceremony New York, as well as online.
The line launched by Alexia Elkaim, a recent Parsons School graduate, has quickly reached cult status thanks to a strong social media presence boasted by the likes of Gigi Hadid and Paloma Elsesser.
Last month, Miaou also unveiled a campaign film starring Travis Scott and the Gucci Gang, as well as hosted a pop up store in New York's SoHo neighborhood during New York Fashion Week, back in February.
Although the brand began with jeans, Elkaim plans to continue to introduce a range of pieces.
Opening Ceremony was founded in September 2002 in New York by Carol Lim and Humberto Leon.
