NFL Draft Prospects – 2019 Bowl Game Preview: December 27th
By Daniel Valente
The NCAA's leading rusher? A talented receiver from USC? A talented pass rusher from the Big Ten? A huge offensive tackle prospect? Viewers will see it all today as many highly touted prospects will leave it all on the field today.
Military Bowl: North Carolina vs. Temple – 12:00 p.m. EST, ESPN
He is a long way from getting drafted but what a year it was for North Carolina's freshman quarterback Sam Howell. Over 3000 passing yards, 35 touchdowns and just seven interceptions. Howell will not be a draft prospect for a few years but just sit back, relax and watch him get to work.
North Carolina running back Michael Carter on the other hand may be in play come draft day. No decision has been made on his future yet but the junior running back is coming off a big year in which he rushed for 919 yards on 159 carries.
One player from North Carolina who will undoubtedly be involved in the 2020 NFL Draft is defensive end Jason Strowbridge. The senior has recorded 10.5 sacks and 22 tackles for a loss during his collegiate career and was also invited to the 2020 Senior Bowl. Pass rush has not been his forte but he has the size to fill in among the defensive line.
Let's talk about the most compelling player on North Carolina's roster – Chazz Surratt. Surratt started off as a quarterback before making the switch to linebacker this season and he could not have had a better first year at his new position. The junior linebacker finished with 110 tackles, six sacks and one interception. According to Sports Illustrated, this was Surratt's first time playing linebacker since his freshman year in high school, though it would be hard to tell based on his on field production.
Temple always has a few players that catch steam during the pre-draft process and Quincy Roche could be that guy this year, should he declare. Roche ate alive opposing offensive lines this season, recording 13 sacks and 18 tackles for a loss. The 2019 AAC Defensive Player of the Year may be flying under the radar to the general public right now but do not count on that for much longer as the draft approaches. He will have his first chance at getting his name out there in this year's Military Bowl.

Pinstripe Bowl: Michigan State vs. Wake Forest – 3:20 p.m. EST, ESPN
Defense is not just a part of the game at Michigan State, it is a part of its culture and reputation. With yet another strong defense, the Spartans allowed just 22.7 points per game this season.
Kenny Willekes is a brick wall on the end of the Spartans' defensive line. He is a tough player to run at and he can also get after the quarterback. With 48 career tackles for a loss, Willekes has totalled the ninth most tackles for a loss in Big Ten history. The senior defensive end has also been a pain for quarterbacks, recording eight sacks in back to back years.
Quick but undersized, Antjuan Simmons is the head at the top of the Spartans' linebacking corp. Simmons is an athletic linebacker who led the team with 81 tackles and 15 tackles for a loss but his small 216-pound frame will surely be concerning.
The biggest concern for Wake Forest will be Spartans' defensive tackle Raequan Williams. This is a guy who opposing teams have to game plan against and always keep an eye on. Williams has the size and strength to get a good push on the interior and he is quick enough to burst into the pocket. In his final year as a Spartan, Williams recorded five sacks and seven tackles for a loss. The transition from college to the pros could be a very rewarding one for Williams if he is slotted and developed in the right system.
Michigan State also has a few notable among the offensive line such as guard Kevin Jarvis and tackle Luke Campbell.
There are ball hawks and then there is Wake Forest cornerback Essang Bassey. Do not believe me? Just check the ACC record books. Bassey has recorded more passes defended than any other play in ACC history. With 43 passes defended and five interceptions, Bassey is one of the more opportunistic defensive backs in this year's class.
Wake Forest has a dynamic athlete at quarterback in Jamie Newman. He has the arm and the legs to survive in the new generation of quarterbacks in the NFL. Newman passed for 2693 yards this season along with 23 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. With the NFL trending towards quarterbacks with big arms and mobility, Newman checkmarks both those boxes as he is not afraid to throw to any area of the field and he has the mobility to escape opposing pass rushes. His footwork needs a tad work but Newman is a quarterback that will attract a lot of curiosity.
Texas Bowl: No. 25 Oklahoma State vs. Texas A&M – 6:45 p.m. EST, ESPN
It is true, everything is bigger in Texas and there will not be a bigger talent in the Texas Bowl than Oklahoma State running back Chuba Hubbard. The sophomore running back had a season for the ages as he led the NCAA in rushing yards with 1936 and led the Big 12 in rushing touchdowns. His efforts earned him the accolade of Big 12 Player of the Year while he also finished eighth in Heisman voting. Hubbard has not decided whether he will enter the NFL Draft yet but should he choose to do so, he is almost certainly a late day one to early day two pick.
On defense, make sure to focus on linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez after he led Oklahoma State in tackles. Rodriguez moved from safety to linebacker and the move seemed to pay dividends to his production.
Texas A&M will counter with an explosive running back of their own in Isaiah Spiller. While still a freshman, Spiller has been very effective for the Aggies this season, rushing for 869 yards and nine touchdowns.
At quarterback, the Aggies will roll out Kellen Mond who is a dual threat. Mond can tire out a defense through the air or on the ground. Still a junior, Mond nearly racked up another 3000-yards passing this season while throwing for 19 touchdowns to nine interceptions. He also scampered his way to 383 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Holiday Bowl: Iowa vs. USC – 8 p.m. EST, FS1
USC is going to throw the football a ton and you can bet that a lot of those passes will be in the direction of Michael Pittman Jr. Iowa is going to have to be very careful as Pittman has been chewing up defenses this year. The middle of the field is free real estate for the USC senior receiver as he has made a living there this season. At 6'4, Pittman is a very talented prospect as not only can he be an effective receiver over the middle but he is also a very physical downfield threat. He shows great ability to high point the football and has strong hands. No player in the PAC-12 had more receptions (95) or receiving yards (1222) than the USC receiver.
https://media.giphy.com/media/eGy0VsAHV1GSTOOolS/giphy.mp4
The biggest name on USC, both in talent and in sheer size is tackle Austin Jackson. The 6'6, 310-pound tackle is one of the top prospects that will come out of the PAC-12 this year, that is if he decides to declare. If he does, he will be scouted heavily by teams looking for their tackle of the future.
Now, if Jackson can contain Iowa's A.J. Epenesa, that would certainly do wonders for his draft stock but it will not be easy. Epenesa is one of the most dangerous pass rushers coming out of the Big 10 Conference and will be a tough matchup for the USC tackle. Jackson will have his hands full when he deals with a pass rusher that has recorded 19.5 sacks over the last two seasons. Epenesa can beat tackles with a bull rush or with his hands as he demonstrates great technique with his arms.
Cheez-It Bowl: Air Force vs. Washington State – 10:15 p.m. EST, ESPN
It is fitting that Washington State is taking on Air Force as the Cougars have unleashed an air force of their own this season. The Cougars are averaging nearly 40-points per game this season and the sole reason for that is their quarterback play.
Anthony Gordon replaced Gardner Minshew this season and boy, did he ever let it fly. Gordon completed over 70-percent of his passes for over 5000-yards on his way to 45 touchdown passes. While most quarterbacks will garner attention due to their arm strength, Gordon wins with finesse. He can really make a lot of great passes in the intermediate areas of the field with a pretty touch pass. UCLA learned first hand how deadly Gordon can be with his touch passes after he tallied an astonishing nine touchdown performance against them.
The two biggest beneficiaries of Gordon's talent have been receivers Brandon Arconado and Easop Winston. Arconado had a breakout campaign with 67 receptions and 942 receiving yards though his availability for the Cheez-It Bowl is in question as he deals with a wrist injury. Winston finished just a hair under Arconado with 927 receiving yards and will definitely suit up for this contest.

The Corgi conversion was done as a project to see just how simple I could power it and still have the ability to run on two-rail or overhead to produce a good-looking, inexpensive, practically indestructible car that the kids can run. It represents the three-year-old Kenosha Electric Trolley line (which uses ex-Toronto PCCs). Q-Car trucks and poles, a couple of pieces of hardware store metal and off it runs in one evening - even including a fairly well detailed interior. It needed very little tweeking or run in, just loosening the truck mounting nut to allow for our "less than perfect" trackage. The Corgi uses the Q PCC trucks, two-spring trolley pole, and the (B153) trolley hook, which is mounted on a wooden spacer as on the 1:1 scale Kenosha cars. Low-speed operation was perfect and extremely smooth - something we've come to expect from Q-Drives. It has power enough to pull scale buildings down the layout.
The 751 took lots longer to convert, but there is more to it as well. It is a heavily modified St. Petersburg static model. The design goals were hidden wiring and electrics - as much as possible, smooth running and prototypical head and tail lights. Old hands around Milwaukee told me that these cars had a stop light that lit just as the car's doors opened. Designing a circuit to do this wasn't hard, but designing one that was both bi-directional and small enough to hide underneath the 750 was. The stop light is a drilled-out Milwaukee style light from Q-Car (CS156) with a Walthers lens. The St. Petersburg headlight now has a clear lens to magnify the smallish lamps required by the cast-resin St. Petersburg construction.
The trucks are NWSL Magic Carpets with 26" wheels mounted in modified Q-Car CS257 Laconia side frames (the triangle ends were cut off to look closer - and to clear the underbody equipment) . These trucks are a little long in wheelbase, but fitting the Magic Carpets still required filing a slot into the truck frame. [The correct trucks are now available - see (CS265) - Editor] The trucks pivot on steel T-Nuts set into the resin floor with shim-brass wear/contact surfaces. Floor height ended up about a scale 2" high because of shoe horning everything under the floor. Poles on the car are four-spring B121s - not a bad match to Milwaukee's, if a little shorter, but they worked great. By the way, we usually use a brass ferrule set into the roof for the pole mounting. This has the advantage of making the poles removable as well as allowing 360-degree pole spin with no back pressure from the wiring, and no broken wires inside the car body.
The St. Petersburg car ran nicely, with only a slight problem on some of the guard rail clearance on the NWSL drive gear. But this will be easy to fix as the guard rail is there only for appearance and the car would move over the interference, with a little noise as it walked on the gear. Our portable layout has a couple of 32' scale turns, but the short 750 car handled those easily.
I calculated once that at a six-hour show in Kenosha last Summer, one of our PCC cars with Q-Car trucks and trolley pole ran about 720 loops, or about 196 scale miles - the equivalent of about 4 REAL miles, or more than twice around the actual Kenosha streetcar loop! It did this without dewiring or derailing, which indicates pretty darned good running gear since it was running on our three-section, portable layout that has the above mentioned 32' radius (scale) turns.
Building the TMERL Stop Light Circuit Click to see diagram.
The Milwaukee 751 car model had minimal space for circuitry, so designing a stop light circuit that worked prototypically and could hide out of sight under the car was a challenge. As a traditional double-ended streetcar, the head and tail lights had to work properly regardless of the direction of travel. The basis of the circuit is the conventional "trolley reverse" circuit using a positive overhead wire and negative, grounded tracks. Though the circuit could be modified to run with two-rail, it would be somewhat more complex.
The diode stack of 1N4001s that provides the constant voltage for the lamps may look at first like it doesn't make sense. What makes it work is that each of the diodes blocks current flow completely in one direction, and conducts in the other direction with a constant voltage of about 0.7v across each diode. This is the characteristic that makes the constant voltage lighting work, producing about 1.4v across the lower two diodes in the circuit for each direction. The diodes immediately below the dashed line are steering diodes to make sure that only the headlight and tail light bulbs for the proper direction light up.
Below the dashed line, the diode stack drops the voltage to the motors by about 2.1 volts. Unfortunately, experimentation proved that it took more voltage than that to operate the stop light relay before the car started moving, so extra diode pairs were required. Depending on the exact motors and other components used, more pairs of diodes may be needed to delay the motor start. In the case of the car I was building, the motors started moving at about 1.5v, but the relay for the stop lights took about 3.75v to pull in. So it took a five diodes in each direction (or, 3.5v total) to provide the correct balance. This means the car starts rolling at around 5 volts, though the lights will be on from the time the power pack provides around 3 volts.
The stop light relay circuit contains two small steering diodes to provide the positive voltage from either trolley pole and a 2.4v zener diode to make the voltage cutoff very sharp. The zener seems "backwards" in the circuit because it is there to block completely when the voltage across it falls below 2.4 volts. Otherwise, the relay would stay pulled in down to about 0.5 volts - far below where the lights would have turned off. The relay used is an ultra miniature design intended for telecom use measuring only 3/8" x 1/4" x 3/16". All of the electronic components are available from the Digikey Company of Thief River Falls, MN .
The stop lights are wired to the normally closed contacts of the relay so they are disconnected once the voltage increases to the point where the relay pulls in. This provides the proper action of having the stoplight fully on until the car starts to move (on the prototype cars, the stop lights were on when the air brakes were set and doors open). The directional nature of the stack of 1N4001 diodes assures that only the lamps for the direction of motion will light up. Because of the steering diodes, the relay will only work with the overhead positive - if the polarity is reversed for some reason, the car's stop light for the given direction will stay on, but everything else works correctly.
Technically, the 5v relay used in this circuit is run at a voltage over its normal coil voltage, though its official continuous rating is 200% (10v). Since we never operate continuously at top speed on our model railroad, this was considered to be acceptable. If the car is to run at full voltage (12v or higher) for an extended periods, a small resistor would need to be wired in series with the 270 ohm relay coil - and more diodes would have to be added to the motor delay circuit to compensate.
A smaller or high efficiency motor might require some adjustment to the number of diodes, or might even require a load resistor (like a 12-14v lamp) to be wired in parallel with the motor to draw more current. For this car, the 280 mA (0.28 Amp) current draw of the pair of Magic Carpets worked fine.
I have been learning from every project I work on. My background in engineering helps a bit in construction and planning, but I've had lots of good advice from folks with long experience, particularly my fellow members of The Milwaukee Electric Railway & Transit Historical Society, Brian Siegl and Jack Gervais. They are also responsible for our portable model layout.
"Russian" TMER&L 751 Webster Safety Car.
An update on that "Russian" TMER&L 751 Webster Safety Car. Last year, I got the St. Petersburg model running with modified Laconia sideframes standing in for the TM M35AB's. The Laconia's looked and worked great, even though very slightly longer in wheelbase. Now that Q-Car is producing the actual M35 arch-bar sideframes, I decided it was time to update the car to the exact prototype trucks. Result: the car looks just about perfect - and works great. Only down side is that it isn't so easy to see the great detail on the white metal truck castings since TM had the habit of painting everything underfloor on these cars with their usual invisible black paint.
It did take considerable filing on the bolsters to get the Magic Carpets III into the new, even more compact trucks, but the results are worth it. Just as on the prototype, the power trucks are completely underfloor with the traction motors entirely within the trucks. For technical reasons, I had to go to 28" wheels on the new and improved version. Our club's portable layout was designed with "compromise" guard rails on the city loop trackage - necessary to allow both the old, Lionel-style giant wheel flanges and current, close-to-prototype, 0.135" flanges to operate reliably on the same trackage. But the slightly high guard rails inside the flangeway turned out to be the same height as the drive gear on the Magic Carpet III equipped with the 26" wheels. These ran OK, but, at a couple of points, you could hear the streetcar "walking" along on the drive gear, which caused it to slip and jerk a little. The extra 0.020" clearance is just enough to avoid that problem. Now the Magic Carpets operate smoothly down to a crawl - just what you want in a streetcar.
Two things that we've settled on lately that differ from what we've heard elsewhere are T-nuts and sleeve-mounted trolley poles. Especially on the resin-floored cars, it is awfully tough to get a screw to stay in them without putting a nut on the inside of the car. The resin is too soft to hold a tapped thread worth a darn. To avoid this, we've taken to epoxying a #4 T-nut (available from model airplane suppliers) into the floor as the truck mounting screw. The Q-Car bolsters normally are supplied with a #3 screw, but no one seems to make a T-nut in this size. This means drilling out the bolster very slightly from a #3 [Editor: 3-48] to a #4 [Editor: 4-40] screw clearance, but the truck is then solidly attached to the floor with the screw going into steel threads on the car. It makes taking the trucks off for normal servicing far less nerve wracking, since the blind nut means you don't have to open the car every time you need to do a minor fix.
Alternate Pole Mounting: The other one is a trick I picked up from long-time TM modeller Jack Gervais, though it probably didn't originate with him. That is to NOT mount trolley poles using the supplied screws, but to cut a short brass sleeve to glue into the roof as a bushing and use a length of #2-56 threaded rod on the pole itself instead of a screw. Now the electrical connection can be soldered to the sleeve - which never moves - and the pole can be removed or exchanged easily. The result is that the wire to the trolley pole never breaks and the pole turns with no back tension from the wire. The only caution is to make the screw a little longer than the relatively thin roof sleeve or you will be chasing the pole across the room when it dewires. With this arrangement, I always remove the poles when transporting the models and never have a problem with the poles or cars getting damaged.
Thanks to Q-Car for the great products that make trolley modelling far more enjoyable. The detail parts make realism possible, and give people a real flavor of what these cars looked like and what they did - and do, in an increasing number of cities. I wonder how long it will be before the kids in this trolley hobby are asking us about the old days when San Diego ran those boxy UD1s from the 1980s?


A recent review article compiled and showcased the scientific evidence supporting the use of nasal irrigation, an Ayurvedic medical tradition that dates back in medical literature to the early 20th century.
A mild saline solution in warm water is inserted into one nostril and drains out of the other nostril. This can be administered using a low-pressure device such as a spray or squirt bottle or using a gravity-based pressure such as a netti pot.
The exact mechanism of action has yet to be completely understood. The proposed physiological possibilities are that nasal irrigation improves nasal mucosa function by direct clearing, elimination of inflammatory mediators and improve mucociliary function.
What conditions is nasal irrigation good for?
In preventive studies, nasal saline irrigation was found to be protective with patients having fewer infections, shorter symptom duration, and fewer days of symptoms vs patients who did not perform nasal irrigation.
There is strong evidence that nasal irrigation is effective adjunctive treatment in chronic rhinosinusistis (Runny nose or nasal congestion lasting more than 12 weeks). In a Cochrane review of nasal irrigation demonstrated that daily use was associated with a 64% reduction in overall symptom severity, significant decrease in use of saline sprays, decrease in antibiotics as well as significant improvement in quality of life.
The evidence is limited and less conclusive in the following conditions. Despite these findings it is strongly recommended in consensus guidelines that a trial of nasal irrigation should be performed as the benefit far outweighs the risk as long as you do not have any contra-indications.
Fewer than 10% report mild self-limiting adverse effects which include sensation of ear fullness, stinging of the nasal mucosa, and rarely epistaxis (nosebleeds). No serious adverse events have been reported.
If stinging of the nasal mucosa is significant ensure you have prepared the saline solution correctly. A higher concentration than desired can produce these symptoms. All other symptoms can be normal when first initiating the practice of nasal irrigation and should cease after several treatments once the mucous has been thinned and easier movement and flow of the irrigation will result. If these symptoms persist after several treatments you should consider ceasing the practice.
Conditions associated with increased risk for aspiration: significant intention tremor or other neurologic or musculoskeletal problems.

Rhapsody in Brass - Dean Goffin
Rhapsody in Brass is in three movements and was written for the British Open Championships in 1949, held at Belle Vue in Manchester. The contest winners were Fairey Aviation Works Band under the baton of Harry Mortimer. Eric Ball came second with Ransome & Marles and Stanley Boddington 3rd with Munn and Felton Band. Rhapsody in Brass had the unusual distinction of being written as a test piece by a Salvation Army composer. Eric Ball's Resurgam was the only other piece to achieve that dual personality in that era.Dean Goffin was born in 1916 in Wellington, New Zealand, son of Henry Goffin, a Salvation Army officer and composer. At 19 he was appointed Bandmaster of the Wellington South Band and when World War II started, he enlisted in the New Zealand Armed Forces where he became Bandmaster of the 20th Infantry Battalion and later the 4th Brigade Band. During the time he served with them in the Middle East and Europe, he composed and arranged numerous pieces among which Rhapsody in Brass and the march Bel Hamid, later adapted for Salvation Army use and renamed Anthem of the Free.After the war, Dean kept on composing and his work was featured by the Wellington South Band. Later he transferred to Timaru for another job and became Bandmaster there. He was studying music at the time and as he wanted to take part in a competition for devotional selections for Salvation Army use, he sent some of his compositions to the International Headquarters. When Rhapsody for Brass was chosen as the test-piece for the British Open Championships, people at the Salvation Army started asking questions about the lack of publications of his work. It was discovered that the pieces submitted for the competition didn't meet the exact criteria. Among these pieces was one of his most appealing works The Light of the World which was published a year later, in 1950, the same year as he completed his Bachelor of Music studies at Otagu University.After entering the Salvation Army Training College in Wellington with his wife, Marjorie, Dean was in 1956 appointed National Bandmaster in the British Territory. Later he became National Secretary for Bands and Songster Brigades and in this period he organised the yearly festival in the Royal Albert Hall and was responsible for the national music schools in the UK. Dean returned to his home country in 1966 and to mark the centenary of the Salvation Army in New Zealand he was knighted by the Queen in 1983. Sir Dean Goffin died on 23 January 1984.

Rhapsody in Black - Andi Cook
Rhapsody in Black - Andi Cook - 10'40'' - BVT126 The primary inspiration for this work comes from the composer's first encounter with the genre of Symphonic Metal - the opening track of the 2004 Nightwish album 'Once', entitled Dark chest of Wonders. The combination of full orchestra, operatically trained female vocals and the raw power of a Scandinavian metal band was a potent mix that instantly had me hooked.That same dark and powerful sound is one that a brass band can generate, and I've tried to capture that in this composition. Heavy Rock/Metal as a genre is arguably fifty years old now, but symphonic metal is a newer concept, and I feel possibly the one that can bridge the gap between two musical styles very dear to me.Composer Gilbert Vinter had explored through music the connotations that different colours held for him, and his movement Purple from 'Spectrum' gave me an idea for the structure of 'Rhapsody in Black'. Andi Cook explored the different connotations of one colour within his own life, black being an easy choice due to the personal dichotomy of the black leather jacket he wore to the rock club on Friday night and the black suit jacket and tie he wore to the concert hall the next day.To avoid repetition the word 'black' is omitted from the five movement titles, each of which is a different episode. '...as Thunder' is a furious argument between two people - the top and bottom of the band - set against the backdrop of a storm, with lightning flashing outside while barbs, insults, sarcasm, tears and even violence is traded inside. Following that '...Satin and Pearls' is an old black-and-white movie with a wistful character to it as if we're looking back a screen icon with fondness long after their career or even their life has ended. '...as the Raven's Wing.' is deliberately gothic and funereal, hinting at Edgar Allen Poe's similarly named poem, with undertones of death and afterlife. The shift into F/C Minor (band pitch) represents the descent - alive - into the grave that Poe had a paranoid fear of his entire life. Family and friends standing around grieving, oblivious as we're lowered into the earth despite frantic attempts to make ourselves heard. '...and Chrome' is an unashamed motorcycle reference with all its born-to-be-wild, open air, high speed and freedom overtones. In a deliberate contrast to what went before it continues several of the same motifs though this time in the major key. Lastly, we reprise the second movement with '...as the Night Sky' which is simply the feeling of walking home under the summer stars, with someone important - who that is, is left to the listener, but a walk under the stars is always that bit special.There's an old saying that very few things are black and white. I hope this work will prove that even black alone isn't quite as simple as it's often made out....'Rhapsody in Black' is dedicated to the composer's friend and mentor John Roberts, who shares his love of both brass and rock.

Brothels sponsor Greek soccer team
Sarah Hofmann Contributor
An amateur Greek soccer team in the same state as most of its bankrupt nation — strapped for cash — has redefined being "hard up" for money. The team's new financial sponsor? Not one, but two local brothels.
In return for wearing pink jerseys with "Villa Erotica" and "Soula's House of History" printed on them, the team enjoys perks such as "special time" at the brothels after games if they win. Plus they get to keep playing, of course.
Prositution is legal in Greece, but the community's feathers are still ruffled, reports the New York Daily News. Sadly for the team's collective mojo, they've lost four games in a row.

How do I get started working as a Professional Developer on SharePoint? Here's a brief outline of the options.
First you need to have prerequisite skills in .NET Development and in particular ASP.NET Development. SharePoint is built on those technologies and most everything you do in SharePoint is using .NET and ASP.NET with additional functionality, and additional API's.
SharePoint installed on your local development machine and this means you need to run Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008. VPCs are available here. There is a SharePoint one, or you can get a smaller base and add WSS or MOSS to it.
Get Visual Studio 2005 Professional or above, the Visual Studio 2005 extensions for Windows SharePoint Services 3.0, v1.1 and the Visual Studio 2005 extensions for Windows Workflow Foundation (Visual Studio 2008 support is planned for June 2008).
Get the WSS SDK and the MOSS SDK. They are also available online for WSS and MOSS.
Start Visual Studio on your Windows Server machine that has SharePoint installed and create a new Windows Console Application. Yes there are SharePoint project templates, but I'm going for a fast first SharePoint program here and we don't need them yet.
If you are on Windows Server 2008 then make sure you started Visual Studio by right click and run as administrator.

Sir William Temple, 1st Baronet (1628 – 1699) was an English statesman and diplomat. He attended Cambridge University but did not graduate, choosing instead to travel throughout Continental Europe from 1648-1654.[1] Following his marriage to Dorothy Osborne, Temple became a diplomat and was awarded a baronetcy in 1666.[2] In 1668, he became Ambassador to the Netherlands, where he helped negotiate the Triple Alliance between England, the Netherlands, and Sweden. He would later help negotiate the end to the Dutch War, and the marriage of Princess Mary and William of Orange.[3] Temple wrote extensively. His most famous work is Observations upon the United Provinces, a history of the Netherlands,[4] and he also wrote many shorter essays on a wide range of subjects, including trade in Ireland, "popular discontents," "health and long life" and "ancient and modern learning."[5]
Inscription, title page, volume two.
"In both his political and literary careers, he showed himself a keen and perceptive student of human nature, and this, perhaps, shaped both his strengths and his weaknesses: as a statesman he was a capable and reliable subordinate for the likes of Arlington and Danby, rather than an independent power broker; as a writer he was readable, intelligent, and stylish, rather than deeply profound."[6]
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Temple's works. 2.v. fol. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his son-in-law, Thomas Mann Randolph. Brown's Bibliography[7] lists the 1750 edition based on the copy Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.[8] George Wythe's Library[9] on LibraryThing indicates "Precise edition unknown. Two-volume editions were published at London in 1720, 1731, 1740, 1745, and 1750." Because we don't know the exact edition Wythe owned, the Wolf Law Library chose to purchase a copy of the first two-volume edition (1720).
Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy
Bound in contemporary leather with design pressed on front boards. Modern leather spine with title and column number gilt embossed. Signed "D. Anderson, St Germains" on the title page of volume one and "David Anderson, St Germains" on the title page of volume two. Purchased from Sequitur Books.
Images of the library's copy of this book are available on Flickr. View the record for this book in William & Mary's online catalog.

A: У вас что-то со структурой данных. Вы пытаетесь парсить List (GenericTypeIndicator<List<String>> t = new GenericTypeIndicator<List<String>>() {};), тогда как у вас по факту HashMap. Т.е. вам надо как-то так:
GenericTypeIndicator<Map<String, String>> t = new GenericTypeIndicator<Map<String, String>>() {};
Map<String, String> map = dataSnapshot.getValue(t);

If you're a Californian, you are well aware that certain parts of the state are prone to wildfires and the recent drought is worsening the situation. These wildfires consume hillsides of brush that have been dried by the California heat and lack of rain. They destroy everything in their path, including homes, cars and other property. The worst wildfire season in years is now forcing many Californians out of their homes and has caused them to face destruction of their houses and other prized property. What should homeowners know about insurance coverage in the event of a wildfire?
It is important for those who live in areas at risk of wildfires to be sure they have the proper insurance coverage. Amy Bach, executive director of United Policyholders, a nonprofit group that helps consumers with insurance issues, urges homeowners who live in these areas to double-check their policies to ensure they have adequate coverage to rebuild their home if it is destroyed. Although damage to your home from a wildfire is covered by a standard homeowner's insurance policy, this coverage may not be enough. You can take your policy limit and divide it by your home's square footage to get a rough estimate. If the number is less than $200 per square foot, you're probably underinsured and should consider buying more coverage. You should also be sure you have "code upgrade" coverage, which helps cover the cost of bringing your new home up to the latest building standards.
In general, damage to your home from a wildfire and any other sort of fire is covered by a standard homeowner's insurance policy. Repair and cleaning of smoke-damaged furniture and water damage from firefighting efforts are also covered. The amount a policyholder receives depends on how much coverage was purchased and the deductible — the amount paid out of pocket, before the policy pays. If you live in a fire-prone area, your homeowner insurance premium may be affected. However, some insurers may offer discounts for homes in communities that have taken steps to reduce wildfire damage.
Additionally, a standard policy covers "additional living expenses" in the event of a disaster, including a fire, which includes the cost of living away from home if there's a mandatory evacuation, or if the home becomes uninhabitable. These costs include hotel bills, meals out and other expenses while the home is being rebuilt, plus the purchase of new clothing. It is advised that you save receipts to document your expenses. Coverage for additional living expenses varies by insurer, but policies often provide coverage for 20% of the total insurance on your house.
Do you have any other advice for homeowners in wildfire-prone areas? How would you advise clients who are looking to buy in these areas?


Robert Louis Stevenson's classic 1883 novel established the entire genre of pirate swashbucklers, so naturally it had been filmed in the silent era—five times, in fact. However, none of these older films have survived, so the earliest adaptation we have is this one—but this one's all we need. It's a wonderful film that has a lot going for it, but what makes it endlessly re-watchable is the larger-than-life performance of Wallace Beery as Long John Silver.
Conversely, alas, it has one major liability that, despite Beery's best efforts, makes the modern viewer cringe and wince: the inclusion of Beery's co-star, child actor Jackie Cooper, as young Jim Hawkins. To be fair, Cooper delivered exactly what was asked of him, which was to be painfully over-earnest and sentimental, like every other 1930s child star. It's just that by current standards and sensibilities, the performances of 1930s child actors like Jackie Cooper, Shirley Temple, and their ilk, are so God-damned grating that you just want to fast-forward right past them.
All right, we got that little rant out of the way. On to the movie: Treasure Island is a pretty close adaptation of Stevenson's novel, which means it starts slowly, with the first act involving the fugitive pirate Billy Bones at the Admiral Benbow Inn that establishes the backstory. Fortunately this production has the great Lionel Barrymore (brother of John) in the rôle of Billy Bones, and he leaves no scenery unchewed in a bravura performance that ends in his death from equal parts terror and rum. But in death he unwittingly bequeaths to Jim Hawkins the map to the plunder buried on Treasure Island, and avast! We're off to the Caribbean.
But how to get there, eh? Eh? Enter Squire Trelawney as played by Nigel Bruce (later to be Dr. Watson to Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes—harrumph, harrumph!). He takes Jim off to Bristol Port, perfectly depicted with a forest of masts above a row of docked ships. On the Bristol wharf we meet Long John Silver, and from there on the rest of the film belongs to Wallace Beery. Silver is the original engaging scoundrel, and Beery plays him broad, smiling, squinting, rolling his eyes and looking around furtively, making sure the audience is in on the joke of his duplicity from the beginning. Jim Hawkins and Squire Trelawney are completely taken in, allowing Silver to pack the crew of the "Hispaniola" with pirates. But Captain Smollett (craggy Lewis Stone, whom we last saw in the 1923 Scaramouche) isn't fooled by Silver's smarmy ways, and spots him as a cunning rogue.
But by that time they've arrived at Treasure Island, and it's mutiny, mates, so serve out the cutlasses! The plot adheres closely to the twists and rapid reversals of the novel, and the action scenes are staged well, their imagery striking and memorable. The tense scene in which Jim Hawkins is pursued around the drifting "Hispaniola" by a wounded pirate, Israel Hands, is particularly fine. One can almost forgive the swab for letting Jackie Cooper survive!


The study is being conducted by the Colorado School of Public Health, University of Colorado Denver in partnership with the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Healthcare providers currently providing care to women in the Denver Metro and surrounding areas are eligible to participate.
Participants will be asked to complete a survey at two different time points. The survey will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. After completing the first survey, participants may be asked to view one brief (30-45 min) web-based training module. There is a 50% change of being asked to view the training module. The module can be downloaded and viewed at each participant's convenience. We ask that the module be viewed within 1-2 weeks of enrolling in the study. Participants will be asked to complete the same survey again approximately 6-8 weeks after the first survey.
Providers will be compensated a $15 gift card for each survey completed. If selected to view the web-based module, participants will receive CME credit upon completion of the modules (pre- and post-test required). All participants will have the opportunity to view the materials free of charge at the conclusion of the study.

as i write this, i can taste the goodness that jospehine shared with me the other week. this is so so so good. and so simple. for me, i could eat this as a lunch or share the love and serve as an appetizer at a dinner party.
Roasting bell peppers over a flame takes courage and patience. But the result is rewarding. Once roasted, the sharpness of the pepper has faded and the natural sugars have intensified. The flavor of the roasted peppers is intensely rich, sweet, and juicy. The texture is soft and velvety. When you work with a technique like this, you don't really need to do much but watch the fire do the work.
Starting with 2 whole bell peppers. Place them directly over a flame of a gas stove.
You can do this over a gas or charcoal grill too.
Turning them frequently, until they are charred and blistered on the outside. They won't look too edible, but the black stuff comes off in a minute. While they are roasting, cut your fontina slices.
Take the peppers from the fire and place immediately in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them sit and "sweat" for about 15 minutes. The heat from the fire and the moisture from the pepper will sweat the skin loose.
After the 15 minutes are up, uncover the plastic wrap and remove the peppers from the bowl and peel the blistered skin off with a piece of paper towel or your hands if they are cool enough to handle.
It will be messy, but the skin should come off easily. Once the skin is cleaned off, cut the pepper open, remove the stem and the seeds from the inside and you're done.
2. Cut the peeled roasted bell pepper into strips (somewhere between 1-inch to 1 1/2-inch wide). On a big serving platter, place the pepper strips on the patter, drizzle with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and season with salt and pepper (just eye ball the amounts. Rustic style!) At last, top the dressed and seasoned pepper strips with the fontina cheese strips. The amounts of the pepper strips decide the amount of the cheese strips. If you are a cheese lover, be my guest and use more!
Fontina cheese is very mild. It tastes creamy and lightly nutty. It is like a cross between provolone and gruyere. It goes really well with the roasted pepper and balsamic vinegar.
It is also important to use the fresh roasted peppers soon. They can be stored in the refrigerator for a day or two, but they are best freshly roasted. Also, washing the peppers after you have peeled off the skin will cause them to lose some of their flavor...so don't.
These roasted peppers are super versatile. You can add them to salad, pasta, sandwiches, and hummus. Just in about any dishes you like!
i never try recipes i find on blogs but for you, josephine, for this, for fontina; i will.
sounds amazing. as usual. We love Jo.
Add this to the list of reasons I hate my electric stove.
I just put them in the oven under the broiler, much easier, then put in a paper lunchbag to cool down!

Former Texas Agent Faces Up To 20 Years For Fraud
TYLER, Texas (AP) — A former insurance agent in East Texas faces up to 20 years in prison for a $5.5 million medical investment scam to raise cash for his personal use.
Robert B. Hahn of Tyler pleaded guilty Thursday to wire fraud and money laundering in a federal plea deal in Tyler.
Prosecutors say Hahn since 2007 falsely claimed to represent some East Texas doctors. Hahn deceived dozens of investors into believing the group was raising capital for health care facilities and other medical uses, with a 20 percent annual return.
Prosecutors say Hahn lied and no doctors were part of his scheme. The 64-year-old Hahn kept investors fooled by, at times, returning some funds to them falsely labeled as interest or earnings.
No sentencing date was set for Hahn.

Q: Python: Update value of element in heapq If I have a heapq which contains some elements like:
import heapq

class Element(object):
    def __init__(self, name, val):
        self.name = name
        self.val = val

if __name__ == "__main__":
    heap = []
    e1 = Element('A', 1)
    e2 = Element('B', 65)
    e3 = Element('C', 53)
    e4 = Element('D', 67)
    ...

    heapq.heappush(heap, e1)
    heapq.heappush(heap, e2)
    heapq.heappush(heap, e3)
    heapq.heappush(heap, e4)
    ...

    #IF I want to take elements from the heap and print them I will call:
    while heap:
        new_e = heapq.heappop(heap)
        print new_e.name + ' ' + str(new_e.val)

Suppose I have 50 elements on the heap. And I want to change the value of element e3 from val = 53 to val = 0. So this is NOT the top element of the heap. I also don't want to remove other elements from the heap.
How can I make such update?

A: This is an old question, but in case someone sees this in the future and is looking for answers...
The new implementation of heapq for Python3 includes some helpful notes on how to update heap elements, essentially using it as a priority queue.
https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/heapq.html#priority-queue-implementation-notes
Essentially, you can make a heap of tuples, and Python will evaluate the priority based on sequential comparisons of the tuples. Since a heap in Python is basically just a standard list with the heapq interface used on top, the docs recommend possibly having an additional dictionary which maps your heap values to the index in your heap (list).
So for your original question:

Suppose I have 50 elements on the heap. And I want to change the value
  of element e3 from val = 53 to val = 0. So this is NOT the top element
  of the heap. I also don't want to remove other elements from the heap.
  How can I make such update?

The basic steps for updating elements in the heap following the above logic would be:

*

*Check dictionary to get the index of the element you want to update (after checking that the element is in the dictionary + corresponding heap)

*Update the value in the heap

*Call heapq.heapify(heap) which runs in O(N). Alternatively, if you know your update will update the value by +/- 1, you could potentially just swap the position of the element you're trying to update with the element above or below it.

Edit: Here's a similar question with more answers: How to update elements within a heap? (priority queue)

A: After identifying the index of your desired element you can call heapify on the whole heap to restore the heap. Identifying the index is the hard part since you need to keep track of where each element lives in the heap after every heap operation, and I think the easiest way to do that would just be a custom implementation of heaps.
import heapq
h = [[1, "A"], [65, "B"], [53, "C"], [67, "D"]]
heapq.heapify(h)
# assume you know index of element C is 2
h[2][0] = 0
heapq.heapify(h)

Interestingly, CPython's heapq implementation  has internal methods _siftup and _siftdown. Using _siftup should be faster in practice but not in time complexity than calling heapify on the whole heap, since heapify will call _siftup n/2 times but only log(n) elements should actually get swapped.

A: It is difficult to run your code because there is no output.  However, I tried a few things:
In the heapq module, heap[0] is always designated the smallest item.  In your case, 1 is the smallest item.  Therefore, changing this value from 1 to 5 should theoretically be easy. I tried heapq.heappop(heap) which should return the smallest value.  Thus, as you said in your question, "I want to update val of element I don't know which in turn it is", this method gets you the smallest value automatically (I assume from your question that you want to substitute the 1 since it's the smallest value, as it is coupled with the name First)  However, when I try to run your code myself I received <__main__.Element object at 0x103c15dd0> so you should try to fix your code so that you can print output, same thing goes for print heap[0], same error type.  Then, once you are no longer receiving this kind of error, at the end of your code block try:
s = heapq.heappop(heap)

print heapq.heapreplace(5, s)

Using this approach, I get the following error: TypeError: heap argument must be a list
Therefore, if you can figure out how to convert s into a list, then this should work.  Perhaps someone can edit my answer to add this code.
Hope this helps.
SELF-EDIT:
Add this to the end of your code block, the [] turn it into a list, which is what heapq wants as input.
s = heapq.heappop(heap)

print heapq.heapreplace([5], [s])

This returns the value 5 in the output.
Going back to the output issue, if you specify what you want you want the output to look like, I can try to help you more.

Q: How to rebuild Poetry environment from scratch and force reinstall everything? Poetry has some stale dependencies because the use of develop = true packages. Poetry cannot figure out on its own that dependencies have been updated. How do I force Poetry to reinstall everything in its virtualenv to work around this issue?

A: The official documentation recommends the poetry env remove command, which uses the following syntax:
poetry env remove /full/path/to/python
poetry env remove python3.10
poetry env remove 3.10
poetry env remove test-O3eWbxRl-py3.10

As with the accepted answer this will need to be followed by poetry shell and poetry install to recreate the environment and reinstall dependencies.

A: These instructions are only for Linux/macOS for Windows Subsystem for Linux. For the Microsoft Windows shell, please use your own command-line knowledge to apply these instructions.
Recreating Poetry environment
Do the following in the folder with pyproject.toml:
# Stop the current virtualenv if active or alternative use
# `exit` to exit from a Poetry shell session
deactivate

# Remove all the files of the current environment of the folder we are in
POETRY_LOCATION=`poetry env info -p`
echo "Poetry is $POETRY_LOCATION"
rm -rf "$POETRY_LOCATION"

# Reactivate Poetry shell
poetry shell

# Install everything
poetry install

Recreating Poetry environment with different Python version
Poetry may refer to your installed Python version, so you might tell it to change its link to your python interpreter as well:
# Make Poetry to use python 3.9 from Homebrew, installed earlier
poetry env use `which python3.9`
poetry shell
python -V

Python 3.9.9

Kudos to this tip about removing the virtualenv.
Fixing damaged poetry command
If the poetry command itself is damaged and no longer runs, you can reinstall Poetry by:
which poetry

/Users/mikkoohtamaa/.poetry/bin/poetry

Then remove this and install:
# macOS
rm -rf /Users/mikkoohtamaa/.poetry

# Linux
rm -rf ~/.local/share/pypoetry/

# Download and run Poetry install script
curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org/ | python3 - --force

Q: Jquery AJAX button call in Umbraco BackOffice Hi I just created a simple new option for umbraco backoffice, it is a simple html page which displays a button to click.
Simple form
This button should send an ajax call to an UmbracoApi, but the request never reaches the webapi. Below the Api Code:
API Code
The Ajax call is a simple Jquery Ajax call in the event click of the html button.
I'll appreciate any help you can provide me, in order to complete this ajax call.

A: I think yor problem is the way you are calling it:

*

*not sure if url casing not same as Controller and action will cause routing failure or not, but might as well make then the same

*you action is binding a primitive type, from my understanding of webapi - primitive type will check at querystring otherwise specifically tell it to look at body
more info about this, checkout https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/web-api/overview/formats-and-model-binding/parameter-binding-in-aspnet-web-api
so base on above two statement, try change your call to:
$("#btnGetData").click(function() {
    $.ajax("http://localhost:44302/Umbraco/Api/StripeBackOfficApi/GenerateLockBoxile?date=" + $('#txtDate').val(), {
            type: "GET"
        }, cache: false, success: function(data, status, headers, config) {
            if (data) {
                alert("Done!");
            }
        }, error: function(jqXHR, timeout, message) {
            console.log("Error: " + message);
        }
    });
});
