Sweet, crispy, cheesy, there is nothing not to love about these Hasselback sweet potatoes. And they are much healthier than the original Hasselback potato recipe.
I know you may love the classic Hasselback potato with all the butter and carbs, just thinking about it right now is making my tummy go off. However, I really don't think you'll be disappointed if you give this recipe a go. It has all those same elements that the classic recipe has, just in a cleaner way.
I can honestly say that I could enjoy this as much as the original Hasselback potatoes. And yes, I really mean that. I am not a foodie that lies about these things. If I don't like an ingredient, or if I don't think the healthy alternative recipe is as good, I will let you know.
What do the thin incisions do?
Now, this is what makes the regular baked potato, a Hasselback potato. It's all about getting those slices nice and crispy. Now, the thinner you cut the incisions, the quicker it will dry out in the oven. So basically, what I mean by that is, the thinner, the crispier.
So it's important to know this because if you have super thick slices, you won't get the best result. So keep those incisions thin and even.
Now, it's also important that you don't cut all the way through the sweet potato, and you could just try to carefully cut it but since a raw sweet potato is quite tough, you have to push the knife down harder to cut it. This gives you very little control as to how far you want to cut down. And, you're very likely to just cut all the way through that sucker.
A much better and easier way to cut the sweet potato is to put the handle of a wooden spoon in front of the sweet potato. That wooden handle will stop that knife from cutting through the whole potato. The image below explains what I mean.
How is this recipe healthier than the original recipe?
Sweet potatoes are an overall healthier option than regular potatoes.
According to Jamie Oliver (my absolute hero), sweet potato is high in fibre, and it contains 4 really important micronutrients. The first one is Vitamin C which is great for fighting disease, manganese which is great for your bones, potassium which is great for your blood pressure and thiamine which is good for your heart and nervous system. Now I am no nutritional expert, but I do think it's common sense to realise that incorporating sweet potatoes into your diet can only be very beneficial.
I also used olive oil as my fat source in the recipe. Which of course, is much healthier than adding a tone of butter. And to make things a little more interesting, I infused the oil with chilli and garlic, which worked like an absolute charm. That sweetness from the sweet potato just cuts through the chilli so nicely.
If you think that a little sprinkling will leave you with a nice cheesy result, you'll be disappointed. You'll open that oven door, only to find out that the cheese mysteriously disappeared. And you won't taste it much either.
That being said, I am not saying to pile a cheese mountain on top of the potato either. I am just saying be generous. The photo below gives you a good idea of how much cheese to add.
And as you can see by the end result, it almost looks as if I didn't even add that much because it just sinks down as it melts. So that is why it's important to be generous with the cheese.
I just used regular cheddar cheese but if you want a sharper flavour, you can use a more matured cheddar cheese.

These Hasselback sweet potatoes are a great, healthy alternative to the original recipe. A great way to incorporate vegetables into your dinner.
Pre-heat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees F).
Get your sweet potatoes and slice about half a cm across, but 3 quarters of the way down, making sure you don't cut all the way through.
Get your olive oil in a small pot or pan, then put on the stove on medium flame. Once the olive oil is nice and hot, add your garlic and chilli flakes. Fry for about 1 minute, then turn the heat off and let the garlic and chilli infuse in the oil.
Meanwhile, get your rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and a good pinch of salt in a pestle mortar. Then bash until the herbs start to bruise and the oils start to extract. Add the herbs to the flavoured oil and stir through.
Line a baking tray with baking paper or with an ovenproof wire rack and put your sweet potatoes on top. Brush your herby, garlic chilli oil all over the potatoes, then season well with salt and pepper.
Take your sweet potatoes out of the oven and carefully put your grated cheese on top (try to put some of the cheese between a few of the slices but be careful not to break the sweet potato's structure). Finally, sprinkle a bit of paprika over the top, then put back in the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
Once they are done, serve and enjoy ovenproof Hasselback sweet potatoes!
The thinner you cut the incisions, the crispier your sweet potato will be.
Put the handle of a wooden spoon in front of the sweet potato to make sure you don't cut all the way through the sweet potato.
Be generous with the cheese.
If you want a sharper flavour, you can use a more matured cheddar cheese.
Really? they're okay with the skins on? I always eat potato skin but sweet potatoes seem to have a thicker skin!
Omg this looks sooo delicious!!
I love sweet potatoes. Must try!!
Why in the world have I never thought to try hasselback SWEET potatoes!? These look beyond amazing. Definitely need to try!
Wow no worries my pleasure. So glad you liked them (: Thanks so much!
A few simple cuts can really transform a potato into something special! The blend of herbs and spices you used here sound particularly winsome.
Thanks, they make the potato go so nice and crispy after roasting.
These look pretty irresistible Nick! I never thought of smoked paprika with sweet potatoes– but it sounds like a perfect match–sweet & savory. And, of course, as always, your photos are amazing! thanks thanks. Happy 2018!!
that looks appetizing! Thanks for sharing.
That looks beautiful Nicolas! I love roasted sweet potatoes, especially with the skin on. They are also great that way in a Buddha bowl with a drizzle of tahini and lime dressing. I'm going to try your recipe for sure!

Q: Bing Maps Route Service CalculateRoute returns "An error occurred while processing the request." I've written a Silverlight class to consume the Bing Maps Routing Service.  I'm creating an array of Waypoint objects from lat/long data that I have stored in a database, and sending that to the CalculateRoute method of the webservice in order to get a route back, but I am unable to successfully get a route back.  The response always contains the error "An error occurred while processing the request."  I'm stumped.  Any ideas about how I could solve this or at least get a more helpful error/exception out of the service?  Here's the method that calls the service:
public void CalculateRoute(Waypoint[] waypoints)
{
 request = new RouteRequest();
    request.Waypoints = new ObservableCollection<Waypoint>();

    for (int idx = 0; idx < waypoints.Length; idx++)
    {
     request.Waypoints.Add(waypoints[idx] as Waypoint);
    }

    request.ExecutionOptions = new ExecutionOptions();
 request.ExecutionOptions.SuppressFaults = true;

 request.Options = new RouteOptions();
 request.Options.Optimization = RouteOptimization.MinimizeTime;
 request.Options.RoutePathType = RoutePathType.Points;
 request.Options.Mode = TravelMode.Walking;
 request.Options.TrafficUsage = TrafficUsage.TrafficBasedRouteAndTime;

    _map.CredentialsProvider.GetCredentials(
 (Credentials credentials) =>
 {
  request.Credentials = credentials;
     RouteClient.CalculateRouteAsync(request);
 });
}

I then have a callback that handles the response, but I have been unable to get a successful response.  I've tried making sure the maxBufferSize and maxReceivedMessageSize are set correctly and that timeouts are set correctly, but to no avail.  Any help would be much appreciated.

A: It appears that this line:
request.Options.TrafficUsage = TrafficUsage.TrafficBasedRouteAndTime;

was the culprit.  Apparently if you've got that option set and request a route for somewhere that doesn't have traffic data, it dies rather than just ignoring it.

Criminals at Your Front Door?
A blog posting by The Hill's Eric Zimmerman seems to confirm our worst fears about the 2010 Census.
Citing a new report by the Government Accountability Office, Mr. Zimmerman reports that the Census Bureau hired as many as 200 employees with criminal records that should have disqualified them for federal employment.
The problem was the result of poor finger-printing techniques by the bureau. According to the GAO, over 35,000 workers were hired for the recently-completed address canvassing process--despite the fact that their fingerprints could not be process.
Without clear, readable prints, the FBI could not complete a full background check on canvassing personnel. But the Census Bureau still hired the workers, and at least 200 criminals slipped through the cracks and participated in the canvassing effort.
However, it is unclear how much contact these individuals had with members of the public; during the canvassing operation, census workers compared actual addresses and residences with those in the existing database and made corrections. Census workers were required to knock on the door of each home as a part of canvassing, and provide information on the process if a resident answered.
Amid continuing concerns about the census--and those hired to conduct it--we forwarded a link to The Hill post (and the GAO report) to a former military colleague. Our friend (we'll call him Bob) worked for the Census Bureau earlier this year, after being laid off by a major corporation. He served as a Field Supervisor for the bureau, managing canvassing operations in nearly a dozen counties in the Mid-Atlantic Region. He has since moved on to an executive position at a non-profit organization. Here is Bob's reply:
Spook:
I read the blog post (and the GAO summary) with a great deal of interest, given my recent tenure with the Census Bureau. Can't say that I disagree with any of their findings. You'll note that the problems with canvassing went well beyond criminals who couldn't be identified through the background check. The GAO says the bureau has no clue when it comes to cost estimation, one reason that canvassing went over-budget by at least $88 million.
The fingerprint operation, based on my experience, was absolute chaos. We had to complete two fingerprint forms on each employee, literally the day before computer training was scheduled to begin. The prints were necessary not only for background checks, but also to log onto the hand-held computers (HHCs) used by canvassing personnel. Without their prints in the database, individual workers--known as "listers" in the trade--couldn't use their computers, which meant that canvassing would be delayed. We literally had 24-36 hours to get everyone in the system, so the door-to-door effort could begin. Lots of potential for mistakes--including sloppy finger-printing.
Now, consider the size of the effort. I was one of seven supervisors in my region. Each of us had seven or eight teams of listers that we were responsible for--anywhere from 110-135 personnel in all. Everyone was fingerprinted on the same day, and all of those prints had to be rushed to the district office, where other personnel literally worked all night to get them into the database --before they were sent to the FBI. In my experience, the background checks (based on fingerprints) didn't begin until well after the workers were in the field. Why not fingerprint workers at the time they were hired? No one could answer that one.
The problem with the prints can be easily explained: most of the supervisors charged with taking them had no experience in the process. As you know, there is a definite technique involved in recording clear, readable prints. Luckily, I had lots of practice from my days in the military. And, I instructed my crew leaders to find personnel with finger-printing experience in law enforcement or the military. If they didn't have anyone with those skills, I made sure that we had someone qualified to help them out. By Census Bureau standards, our prints were very good (at least, that's what my boss at the district office told me).
Interestingly, the fingerprints did reveal one individual with a questionable past. About two weeks into canvassing, I got a phone call from my supervisor, who told me that one lister's prints had resulted a "match" in the FBI database. Our procedures in that situation were very clear; the worker was immediately removed from the canvassing operation and placed in stand-by (non-pay) status. We collected the individual's equipment, and the lister was instructed to contact the FBI for resolution.
To this day, I have no idea what sort of "flag" was raised by the FBI background check. The individual was not arrested (so it wasn't anything like an outstanding felony warrant), but they never returned to work. So, to some degree, the process worked. But, by the time we identified potential issues with this individual, he/she had been on the job for at least two weeks, and visited scores of homes.
A few final points. The canvassing process was a rush job from start to finish. Originally, the operation was scheduled to last eight weeks, but we completed the task in less than 40 days. There was tremendous pressure to accelerate the job, to save money and make our bosses look good. While field workers (including supervisors like myself) were temporary hires, top managers at the district office were guaranteed 1-2 years of employment, at $20-25 an hour. Not a fortune, but considerably more than the $13.25 listers were earning. The regional office had a sizable, permanent civil service staff.
With the push to "get it done," efforts at quality control were often laughable. While we had a QC team that evaluated our work, many of those personnel were poorly trained. On multiple occasions, my field workers discovered QC checkers were evaluating the wrong area. Most were far less proficient with hand-held computers and maps than our production listers. We also found that some of our work "failed" because the original database was so screwed up that no one could figure it out.
Incidentally (as the GAO observes), this is the first census that used computers for field canvassing. Previously, the census bureau used paper lists and maps. As you might expect, we discovered plenty of "pencil-whipping" from the past operations. One of my crew leaders worked in both the 1990 and 2000 Census, and discovered mistakes in her area dating back at least 20 years. And remember: canvassing is supposed to correct those problems. With the rush to finish the job this time, we questioned whether any of our updates will actually wind up in the revised database. In other words, census teams in 2020 will still be fixing mistakes from 2010--or even earlier.
Lastly, a word about ACORN. There's been a lot of justifiable concern about that organization's relationship with the Census Bureau. But in my particular district, I couldn't find anyone who was associated with ACORN, or had been hired through that its local office. However, my district covered suburban and rural areas, so ACORN probably had little interest in our area. I can't speak for hiring in neighboring districts, which included major urban areas.
I can report that the bureau's hiring practices often bordered on incomprehensible. As we were wrapping up canvassing--and laying off staffers--the local HR office was still interviewing and offering jobs to new personnel. They were supposedly gearing up for the next phase of the operation. Never mind that it was 4-5 months away, and those recently laid-off workers supposedly had first crack at being hired for the second phase of canvassing.
Bottom line: my experience as a census supervisor was unique, to say the least. Lots of good people in the field; my crew included retired teachers, executives and military personnel; single moms, college students and even a retired NSA analyst. As a group, they were hard-working and extremely conscientious. Unfortunately, leadership above our level was often incompetent, populated by a bunch of yes-men (and yes-women) concerned only about protecting their own jobs, and kissing the ass of their boss.
Against that backdrop, it's not surprising that a few criminals wound up going door-to-door. If it's any consolation, listers were not allowed to enter homes during canvassing, even if residents asked them to come inside. However, we had at least one "census imposter" who tried to get into a local home during the operation--we found out only because the home owner knew one of my crew leaders and contacted him.
That's something else the Census Bureau doesn't like to admit; the decennial process also attracts con men and crooks who pose as listers, and trek through neighborhoods in search of potential victims.

Q: How should I set an image index of an ImageListBox item in a databinding scenario? I have a Document object that looks like this:
public class Document
{
    public Title { get; set; }
    public Extension { get; set; }
    public byte[] Data { get; set; }
}

The Extension is "pdf", "doc", "docx" and the like. This document is used for storing documents in a database (it's actually a DevExpress XPO object).
The problem I'm having is, I am binding a list of these objects to an imagelistbox, which has an associated image list of the icons to display for each file type. How can I set the image index on the imagelistbox item based on the Extension without storing the index in the domain object?

A: In WPF, I would have used the MVVM pattern to solve that issue : the XPO object wouldn't be directly used by the UI, instead a ViewModel object would expose the necessary properties so that they can easily be used in binding scenarios. MVVM is specific to WPF, but I believe the MVP pattern is very similar and can easily be used in Windows Forms. So, you could create a Presenter object which would act as an adapter between the UI and the XPO object :
public class DocumentPresenter
{
    private Document _document;

    public DocumentPresenter(Document document)
    {
        _document = document;
    }

    public string Title
    {
        get { return _document.Title; };
        set { _document.Title = value; };
    }

    public string Extension
    {
        get { return _document.Extension; };
        set { _document.Extension = value; };
    }

    public byte[] Data
    {
        get { return _document.Data; };
        set { _document.Data = value; };
    }

    public int ImageIndex
    {
        get
        {
            // some logic to return the image index...
        }
    }

}

Now you just have to set the DataSource to a collection of DocumentPresenter objects, and set the ImageIndexMember to "ImageIndex"
Disclaimer : I never actually used the MVP pattern, only MVVM, so I might have got it wrong... anyway, you get the picture I guess ;)

Q: BiodiversityR::accumcomp.long function not found I am trying to use the function accumcomp.long in the Biodiversity.R package in order to adjust my species accumulation curves in ggplot.
However, calling the function accumcomp.long gives me an error, suggesting that this function perhaps does no longer exists.
accum.long1 <- accumcomp.long(Accum.1, ci=NA, label.freq=5)

Error in accumcomp.long(Accum.1, ci = NA, label.freq = 5) :
  could not find function "accumcomp.long"

The function BiodiversityR::accumcomp.long
returns
Error: 'accumcomp.long' is not an exported object from 'namespace:BiodiversityR'

I am not certain whether this is an issue with the package, the way the package is loaded into my R space, or perhaps unrelated to the package simply the format of my data.
My community and environment files are of dataframe class. I have tried loading them as .csv files as well as .rda files, but the error remains.
??accumcomp.long

renders "No results found".
I am using R version 3.5.3 (2019-03-11)
Any suggestions as to what else I could try?
Thanks in advance!

A: I re-installed the package BiodiversityR and included force = T (as per this thread https://community.rstudio.com/t/could-not-find-function-error-even-though-fun-is-in-namespace-and-has-an-rd-file/91243). I then reloaded the package. I am not sure what force = T does, but the accumcomp.long function now works.

You are here: Home / Astrology / Stepping outside of time…into Eternity
Stepping outside of time…into Eternity
First published on 29 August 2008 · Last updated on 8 May 2015
On July 31, we went to a concert at Ravinia, our first visit to this outdoor classical music venue in several years. We left our house on the edge of Chicago's southwest side at 5:30 p.m., traveling from I55 to Lake Shore Drive to head north. We had prepared ourselves mentally for a long ride because of rush hour congestion and road construction, so we were able to relax in the car and enjoy the late in the day sunshine. The weather was perfect: sunny and summertime warm without being too hot or too humid for comfort.
After snaking past the Loop, traffic came to a halt. When it finally began to move again, we inched forward and saw the remains of a multi-car crash along with a host of police and rescue workers. Then the traffic began to move faster, and the sun, now low in the west, sent its nearly horizontal beams between the highrises on our left, across Lake Shore Drive, and into the lush green park beside Lake Michigan to our right.
At the top of the Drive, we turned onto Sheridan Road and followed its twists and turns through Chicago's far northeast neighborhoods of Edgewater and Rogers Park. Past dense clusters of highrises that gave the road the feeling of a canyon's floor, the energy shifted to an open feeling as we moved through blocks of low-rise, vintage apartment buildings. As we reached the end of Chicago and the beginning of Evanston, the buildings ended, affording us an unobstructed view of Lake Michigan sparkling to the right as its restless surface caught the sun's rays. To the left, all was immobility in Calvary Catholic Cemetery, where a profusion of huge, ornate grave markers evoked a giant green chessboard overrun with extra pieces.
Soon we found ourselves in the stretch of Sheridan lined with North Shore mansions, which called up memories of countless drives past these same houses in my childhood and later, after receiving my driver's license, as a teenager on outings with high school friends. Every trip through the area made me imagine life inside those mansions—not for their current inhabitants, but for their original owners from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Once again, traffic halted, this time because road construction had removed all southbound traffic (along with nearly the entire road) and reduced the northbound flow to a single lane. When we began moving again, our slow pace became a blessing because the way was narrow, and the dropoff at the edge of our lane was well more than a foot. Along the way, the bricks that had once formed this quite old part of Sheridan were thrown up into huge heaps of dark, dirty red.
As we drew closer to our destination, we entered the area of Sheridan Road called "the ravines," which gave Ravinia its name. The pavement became a narrow ribbon through deep, tree-covered gorges with houses perched here and there. The temporary darkness and seclusion cut me off from the present, plunging me deep into the time in prehistory when rushing water carved through the land to create the ravines. My inner trip back in time ended almost as quickly as it began, for soon the ground leveled out, the trees cleared, and the road curved west. We went a little way, turned onto Green Bay Road, and soon found ourselves passing beneath the rustic wooden sign announcing Ravinia Park. To my relief, we saw that the night's crowd was small and parking was easy. A glance at the time while taking our folding chairs from the trunk revealed it had taken us exactly two hours to reach Ravinia.
On entering the park, we headed left around the Martin Theatre, which was built in 1904 and would host the evening's concert. Looking up from the path, my eyes saw the top half of the theatre's west wall, shimmering an intense gold in the sun's final burst of light. Suddenly, a soul memory surfaced…something about the building's Arts and Crafts style and the sun's dying light made me feel this sight was familiar, probably from a prior lifetime that included the period around the turn of the 20th century. My steps slowed to let my eyes absorb the image and my heart drink in the feeling of being outside of time, in the realm of eternity, where all times and possibilities exist together.
After a moment that held forever in its fleeting existence, we turned away and walked onto the green expanse of the lawn. Nearly all those attending the concert had tickets for seats inside the theatre, as only about ten parties dotted the grass. My mind traveled back to my school days…my family lived five minutes from Ravinia, and we often spent evenings on the lawn among smallish crowds listening to classical music and occasionally to folk or pop music concerts. In high school, we children typically attended with each other or with our friends. The richness of those nights, and their later dwindling and ultimate disappearance as my adult life took shape, rose up together in my memory and deepened the spell that Eternity had begun casting over me as soon as we left home.
We placed our chairs on the grass and walked to a nearby pavilion to purchase dinner because the concert would be starting soon. The light was waning rapidly now, as the sun had sunk beneath the horizon; the theatre's west wall had lost all its shimmer and was sinking into gray insubstantiality, as if it would disappear completely until the sun rose the next morning to call it back into existence with its beams.
We were eating dinner as the concert began. Soprano Nicole Cabell, accompanied by pianist Susan Tang, opened with three songs by Liszt, followed by five Greek folk songs composed by Ravel. She closed the first half with four pieces by the 20th century Argentine composer Carlos Guastavino. About midway through, the jumble of sights and memories and music inspired me to walk the park while my husband finished his dinner. By now, the sky had turned milky in the twilight, deepening my impression of being in a world apart from everyday life, buffered from the outside by a cottony cocoon.
Every step took me past a building, a tree, or a section of the lawn that helped the past press its case for occupying my thoughts. My throat began to ache with the effort of holding my emotions in check. Many pasts began to fill me: the remembered past of childhood and teen years, the unremembered experiences that snapped to life with exposure to Ravinia's every facet, and the dimly sensed soul past of the turn of the 20th century. Stopping at a washroom, the Arts and Crafts architecture and the park's resemblance to a summer camp heightened this multi-layered, multi-time effect.
The music ended just before my walking tour did. Back by our chairs, my husband had stretched out on the grass, which was gradually growing damp with evening dew. Sitting in my chair, a firefly fluttered by, and in the distance, a leafy green tree lit from below looked like a white hydrangea in the strange mix of artificial light and deepening blue twilight. The first stars appeared against the murmurs of other groups' conversations and the flickers from their candles' flames.
As the second half began, Cabell left behind the first segment's older and sometimes heavier pieces for more recent songs that seemed closer to her heart and touched us more deeply. After three works by Andre Previn from Honey and Rue, she served up a trio of songs by Ben Moore that included the jaunty The Ivy-Wife and the carousel-like Bright Cap and Streamers. Edward Hammond Boatner's uplifting spiritual O What a Beautiful City followed. The formal program ended with the heartbreaking Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child and the joyous Ride On, King Jesus. Throughout, progressively louder cicadas accompanied Cabell outside as her pianist accompanied her inside, and once or twice a commuter train rumbled by on the nearby tracks.
Cabell returned to the stage and spoke briefly to the audience before giving two encores. Echoes of her perfect, polished, clear singing voice sounded in her speaking voice, which exuded grace, charm, and warm emotion as she thanked patrons and sponsors who have supported her artistry. It did not surprise me to learn later that she is a Libra, born 17 October 1977. Then she launched into Wouldn't You Like to be on Broadway? and What Good Would the Moon Be? from Kurt Weill's opera Street Scene, which features lyrics by Langston Hughes. She closed the evening with Puccini's famous O Mio Babbino Caro.
We stopped inside the theatre on our way out to admire its recent restoration and fulfill my need to anchor the Arts and Crafts inspiration for the evening's soul impressions into my consciousness. Heading back to the car, we agreed to take the Edens Expressway southward; as with our journey to Ravinia, the trip was slowed by construction and by a multi-car accident. Driving with the windows open and feeling the summer night, we decided to stop for ice cream. At the combination Baskin Robbins and Dunkin' Donuts on Elston Avenue in Chicago, a huge cicada with colorful wings was lying just inside the entrance. Although it probably was near the end of its life, my heart couldn't bear leaving it vulnerable to being stepped on, so we moved it outside out of harm's way.
More than four weeks have passed since our Ravinia experience, but the feeling of being outside time—or rather, in all times at one time—has persisted and pushed me to put its effect and its power into words. Although the title of Thomas Wolfe's novel tells us You Can't Go Home Again, my experience tells me we are souls who can go any where and to any time through the magic of memory, music, and emotion.

Ok so Hotmail is tired, and Gmail is wired. However, you've got so many people trained to use your old Hotmail address that you can't just leave it behind. Well Mysticgeek of How To Geek shows you that you can setup Gmail to both send and receive using your @hotmail.com, @msn.com or @live.com email addresses… but from within Gmail instead. Note this isn't the way that I do it, I have an OLD Hotmail account and it allows for email forwarding but this method should work for everyone else now that Hotmail has enabled POP access.
First go into your Gmail account and select Settings then click on the Accounts tab, now click on "Add a mail account you own".
In the next screen enter in the Hotmail or Live address into the Address field then click on Next Step.
In the next section we need to enter in the proper settings so the connections work. Enter in your username and password for your Windows Live account. Make sure the following settings are correct.
You can also select leaving a copy on the server and archive incoming messages, these settings are per your preference and will not affect the connection. When everything looks correct click on Add Account.
Note: If you want to leave your messages in your Hotmail account, make sure to select the option for "Leave a copy of retrieved messages on the server".
Next check "Yes, I want to be able to send mail as…" This will allow you to send email as your Hotmail or Live account then click Next Step.
Now you can verify or edit the name on the email or if you'd like replies to be delivered to another account enter in a different Reply-to address.
Finally Gmail will send a verification to your Hotmail or Live account.
Once you get the verification code enter it and click the Verify button and your done!
To send an email using your Hotmail account, just use the "From" drop-down when composing a new message.
Now you can Send and Receive your Hotmail in your Gmail Account! Thanks MysticGeek!
I ought to appear into this and it would be a difficult job to go over this totally right here.

Q: Content-based recommender system in R I am trying to build a basic content-based recommender engine based on movie genres, the data set is from MovieLens. Now I want to Simulate the real situation. If I build a new website, and have new users and items(movies) that I want to recommend to them, I am not sure what users' taste are. A cold start problem. My thought is to set the movies genres as categories, like comedy, thriller, etc. Now I just want to randomly recommend any type of movies to users and see if they are interested in specific kind of movie. In next step, how do I randomly recommend these movies to my uses? And how do I know the feedback is precise and positive? Thanks in advance
Here's the code I learn:
library(tidyr)
library(recommenderlab)
library(magrittr)
library(readxl)
setwd("C:\\xxxx")
movies <- read.csv("movies.csv", header = TRUE,sep=",",stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
ratings <- read.csv("ratings.csv", header = TRUE,sep=",",stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
genres <- as.data.frame(movies$genres, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
library(data.table)
genres2 <- as.data.frame(tstrsplit(genres[,1], '[|]', type.convert=TRUE), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
colnames(genres2) <- c(1:10)

genre_list <- c("Action", "Adventure", "Animation", "Children", "Comedy", "Crime","Documentary", "Drama", "Fantasy","Film-Noir", "Horror", "Musical", "Mystery","Romance","Sci-Fi", "Thriller", "War", "Western")

genre_matrix <- matrix(0,9126,18)
genre_matrix[1,] <- genre_list
colnames(genre_matrix) <- genre_list
#iterate through matrix
for (i in 1:nrow(genres2)) {
  for (c in 1:ncol(genres2)) {
    genmat_col = which(genre_matrix[1,] == genres2[i,c])
    genre_matrix[i+1,genmat_col] <- 1
  }
}

#convert into dataframe
genre_matrix2 <- as.data.frame(genre_matrix[-1,], stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
for (c in 1:ncol(genre_matrix2)) {
  genre_matrix2[,c] <- as.integer(genre_matrix2[,c])
}

Output:
The first movie belongs to Adventure, Animation, Children and Comedy categories

Q: Wrong if statement jquery So I have a counter which counts down to 0 so when it hits 0 I want it to do a pdo update. The problem is that the if statement lets the update happen on each page refresh and does not wait for the count to hit 0.
I have looked at the code and can not see where I am going wrong.
<?php   $timer = '20'; ?>
window.onload = function(){

(function(){
  var counter = <?php echo $timer ; ?>;

  setInterval(function() {
    counter--;
    if (counter >= 0) {
      span = document.getElementById("count");
      span.innerHTML = counter;
    }
    // Display 'counter' wherever you want to display it.
    if (counter === 0) {

        document.getElementById( "response" ).innerHTML = "

<?php
    $sqll = "UPDATE users SET coins=coins+? WHERE username=?";
    $q = $db->prepare($sqll);
    $q->execute(array('1',$_SESSION['username']));
    $sqll2 = "UPDATE websites SET clicks_left=clicks_left-? WHERE id=?";
    $q2 = $db->prepare($sqll2);
    $q2->execute(array('1',$row['id']));
?>

";
    }

  }, 1000);

})();

}

I have just fixed it buy using a parser

Thanks for the warm welcome tot he site tho.

A: Using jQuery try the following:
$(document).ready(function() {
    var counter = 20;
    setInterval(function() {
        if( counter == 0 ) {
            $.post("url/to/php");
        }
        else {
            $("#div_for_showing_counter").html(counter);
            counter--;
        }
    }, 1000);

This way you separate client side from server side. You can do whatever you want in the php file. If you need a callback or you need to pass data to the php file then simply modify the $.post to something like this:

The start of the new school year is the start of a new chapter. Students nationwide are checking out text books, registering for important classes, and signing up for clubs and organizations. But in the shuffle, what students are lost? What students are left out? What students are struggling with the transitions? How can educators and parents be aware of the signs?
The following articles are important resources to assist and inform. These groundbreaking findings will help us all become better learners, educators, and parents.
Part of diversity is assessing students abilities and backgrounds. The classroom does not block out the adversity that students face. The conversation surrounding mental health is beginning to pick up speed and it is important that we pay attention to these voices.
Many argue that diversity is not enough. Decolonization refers to the power struggle between students and teachers. Punitive education policies can discourage students from learning. Sharing responsibilities, establishing trust, and listening to students can help to undo some of the damage of colonization.
Toxic campus environments promote exclusion and isolation. This is unfair to the young women (and men) who experience trauma. College campuses must consider the needs of all students and not favor some over others.


The 2018 Concrete Research Innovation Forum, was an opportunity for industry and academia in Victoria to meet, discuss common issues and develop the Victorian knowledge base for concrete.
The event was designed to provide a platform for leading product specialists from the cement, aggregates and concrete industry to meet with principal academic researchers from around Victoria. In doing so, both can be informed of the issues current in industry, and learn of the breadth of research being undertaken into cement and concrete in Victoria.
With over seventy (70) attendees on the day, there was significant discussion on what issues are facing the industry (click here for what issues were identified) and engaging discussions from leading industry experts and academics. Copies of the presentations are available below.
Victoria's Lead Scientisit works across the Victorian Government to foster linkages and identify opportunities for economic outcomes by engaging with business, the research sector, government and the broader Victorian community.

Businesses in Alexandria, Missouri, work to clean up flood damage
As flood waters recede, businesses in Alexandra, Missouri are doing everything they can to get back on their feet.
Employees said the water washed all the products right off the shelves, everything from food to their cash registers. Workers put it outside for the insurance adjuster to look at. They said they can't believe it got this bad.
"We found out we had a little over two feet of water in this store," General Manager Sherry Ramirez said. 'We had not removed anything from the store, because we did not figure the water would get this high."
Employees at US 61 Oil, look at what's left of the store, following a flood that they said took a quarter of a million dollars from them.
"That's not even including our electronics," Ramirez said. "We're not even sure if our registers are going to work at this store. We could be talking even more, tens to a hundred thousand dollars just trying to retrace our electronics and fuel."
Ramirez said the water came faster than expected, leaving them to replace walls and clean up six inches of mud.
It's a similar story at their other store, Smokerz Outlet, where they said almost five feet of water made its way in.
"It was a disaster," Store Manager Tyler Sturm said. "This is the worst I've ever seen it and this is my third flood here. It's terrible."
Sturm said he's worried about the business.
"Customers are finding other places to go, it's just a disaster right now," Sturm said.
He said although they got a lot out of this store, they're still dealing with damage.
"We have to replace some paneling and display cases," Sturm said. "We had display cases float from the back to the front door."
In the meantime, Ramirez said they will continue to work 12 hour days so they can get back on their feet.
"It's just been really busy days for us and just trying to get everything cleaned up," Ramirez said. "It's been pretty stressful for a lot of us."
Employees said the're working hard in hopes of opening back up on Thursday.
Employees said both stores are under flood insurance. They're waiting on the insurance adjuster to assess the damage.They said once they're ready to open, the health department will come in and do an inspection.


I am using Elements 8 and it has always worked perfectly with my HP 8150 printer. I have now bought a C410b and my print speed has died.
It takes a minute from clicking on print for the print window to appear, then a minute to register any changes such as paper size, then another minute to actually start the printer. I can't live with 3 minutes per print!!
Something is wrong with your printer driver -- it's being slow to respond to the host application (Elements).
You need to contact the maker of your printer and see if they have updated drivers that fix the slowness, or advice on how to solve the slowness in their drivers.

I've come across one person who saved up, over a period of 20 + year, to a million dollars and I have read about people who got hired for a million dollar a year. On both occasion, it's the way they think that made them millionaires.
The energy needed to become a millionaire is the same than working at a job. We all have 24 hours in a day, it's what we do with the time we have that makes a difference.

By golly ... we have a tooth!
and yes ... my poor boobie found it I think the neighbours heard my screetch!
he has had a runny nose for four weeks now that really hasn't turned into any major cold just a constant faucet of SNOT! oh yeah gotta love those snot bubbles ... he plew one so big this morning that he was crossed eyed looking at it .. but it had popped by the time we got the camera!
My next question is ... how do you teach them not to bite when nursing now?
Oh I feel your pain!!!!
There are two factors at play with the biting. The one is that they're sort of just experimenting. They sometimes think it's funny when they get a nice reaction from you. Immediately remove him from the breast, tell him no biting, and don't let him nurse for a little bit.
The other thing is that they usually will not bite when they're really hungry. They can't properly latch and bite at the same time. So carefully watch his cues, do not attempt to nurse him unless you're sure he's hungry, and if he's coming to the end of a feeding, get him off the breast before he gets bored! I know it sounds crazy but the only times I got bit by Joe were when I tried to feed him and he wasn't hungry, or if he was done eating and wanted to "play".
the only times I got bit by Joe were when I tried to feed him and he wasn't hungry, or if he was done eating and wanted to "play".
Yep, that's my experience, too. Julia (with her one little half-tooth that has finally poked through!) will bite after she's finished eating and just playing around. Sometimes, I swear she does it on purpose just to get a reaction out of me -- seriously, she'll smile and laugh, then CHOMP I do the same as Katie, just take her off and say "we're done, we don't bite momma."
Same here. When J bites, he's either experimenting or playing. If he's clamped down (OUCH!), I pull him into my breast so he's forced to let go to breathe. Then I usually give him one more chance. If he latches, fine. If he plays or tries to bite again, the session's over.


Popular celebrity blogger, Noble Igwe known for his bluntness, has thrown major shades at Lola Rae who recently welcomed a baby together with fellow musician Tekno.
Noble Igwe Tweeted on Saturday, May 26, 2018, about leaving one's career to have a baby while the father of the child keeps moving his own career forward. Although, Noble Igwe didn't necessarily mention names, fans and followers believe he is referring to Lola Rae.
Tekno and Lola Rae are yet to respond to this.

Q: Limit checkbox in JSON Can anyone help me please, i've been trying to make some quizzes, and i put my questions in JSON file. then, i want to make answer for this quizzes in checkbox and the user must answer two checkbox options. my question is how to limit the checkbox so the user only answer two checkboxes and they can't choose more than two or just only one checkboxes? can i using if else in JSON? or should i put the questions in views instead JSON? or should i add content_url to link to the views file and putting some settings like limitation etc in views files? or anyone have any suggestion for my case? i'm using php with CI 3 btw and i'm still learning and sorry for my bad english because i'm not english speaker.
This is my code in json:
    "part": "question",
            "type": "choice_checkbox",
            "choices": [
                {
                        "choice_text": "A. Pasif",
                        "choice_variable": "A",

                        "choice_value": 1
                },

                        "choice_value": 1
                },

                }
            ]

A: If you have a question with multiple answers (choices), I would recommend you to make two different validations:
The first one in the client side, using Javascript.
The second one in CodeIgniter, creating a custom validation method. Without the code of your application it's not easy to make an example, but this could help:
HTML (part of the form you should submit)

Question 1:

<input type="checkbox" name="questions[0][]" id="choice_1_1" value="Choice 1 Value">
Choice 1 to Question 1
<input type="checkbox" name="questions[0][]" id="choice_1_2" value="Choice 2 Value">
Choice 2 to Question 1
<input type="checkbox" name="questions[0][]" id="choice_1_3" value="Choice 3 Value">
Choice 3 to Question 1

Question 2:

<input type="checkbox" name="questions[1][]" id="choice_2_1" value="Choice 1 Value">
Choice 1 to Question 2
<input type="checkbox" name="questions[1][]" id="choice_2_2" value="Choice 2 Value">
Choice 2 to Question 2
<input type="checkbox" name="questions[1][]" id="choice_2_3" value="Choice 3 Value">
Choice 3 to Question 2

Chavela, directed by Catherine Gund and Daresha Kyi, 2017, film still.
Celebrating its fifteenth year, the Way OUT West Film Fest (formerly the Southwest Gay and Lesbian Film Festival) in Albuquerque will include thirty-four screenings over ten days, from October 13 through October 22. Chavela (2017), a music documentary directed by Catherine Gund and Daresha Kyi, brings light to the life and career of Chavela Vargas, a Mexican lesbian folk singer and sexual outlaw, drawing on never-before-seen interview footage and recollections. Tom of Finland (2017), a Finnish biopic directed by Dome Karukoski, follows Touko Laaksonen (Pekka Strang) in post-WWII Helsinki, where heteronormative pressures to marry dictate the lives of many gay men. Instead, Laaksonen begins drawing men's bodies and finds fame and freedom in Los Angeles, signing his drawings "Tom of Finland" and eventually becoming a gay icon. In the documentary The Untold Tales of Armistead Maupin (2017), director Jennifer M. Kroot interviews writers and actors who were influenced by the beloved southern fiction writer, and Maupin reflects on his life as a pioneer for gay rights in AIDS-crisis-era San Francisco. In Francis Lee's God's Own Country (2017), a sheep farmer in rural Britain finds companionship with a Romanian migrant worker—a Yorkshire Brokeback Mountain. In addition to these award-winning films, the festival will present collections of short films in a variety of short programs categories: Silver Linings, films by LGBTQ elders; De Colores, which celebrates people of color on screen; Gender Fabulous, a set of films about trans and gender-nonbinary experience; and several programs by LGBTQ youth. Screenings will take place at Flix Brewhouse, South Broadway Cultural Center, and Guild Cinema in Albuquerque.

Mikhail Shchadov (1927–2011) was a Russian engineer who served as the minister of coal industry between 15 December 1985 and 24 August 1991, being the last Soviet minister to hold the post.

Early life and education
Shchadov was born in the village of Kamenka, Irkutsk Oblast on 14 November 1927. He graduated from Tomsk Polytechnic Institute majoring in mining engineering in 1953. He also graduated from the All-Union Financial and Economic Correspondence Institute with a degree in economics in 1965. The same year he also graduated from the Higher Party School which was attached to the central committee of the Communist Party.

Career
Shchadov began his career at the age of 15 working in a mine in Cheremkhovo as a site manager. Then he became the chief engineer and head of a mine. Next he was named as the manager of a trust, Mamslyuda, in 1961 which he held until 1963. From 1966 he worked at the Vostsibugol plant as deputy head and then head of the plant.He was made the general director of the Vostsibugol production association. In 1977 he was appointed deputy minister of coal industry and in 1981 first deputy minister. He was named the minister of coal industry on 15 December 1985, replacing Boris F. Bratchenko in the post. Shchadov served in the cabinet led by Nikolai Ryzhkov.

Shchadov's term was extended in March 1989. Just four days after this the mine workers started a large-scale strike. He remained in office until 24 August 1991 when he was fired due to his support for the coup against Mikhail Gorbachev. However, two months later in October 1991 Shchadov was appointed chairman of the board of the Credit Bank of Moscow.

Party career
Shchadov joined the Communist Party in 1947. He became a deputy at the Supreme Soviet in the 11th convocation and was a member of the Communist Party's central committee in the period 1986–1990.

In popular culture
Shchadov was portrayed in Chernobyl, TV mini series, dated 2019, but the show lowered his age and depth of experience in the coal industry for dramatic purposes.

2016 USTA Regs eliminate 2.5 men/mixed nationals
Thread starter kevrol

Just went through the 2016 regulations. Looks like very few changes. One thing that seems way overdue is the elimination of 2.5 men and 2.5 mixed at nationals.
Having seen men that are computer rated 2.5 players they should not be advancing to anything.

More likely that not it's because there's just not a significant enough pool of 2.5 men to make this worthwhile.
In terms of your comment about their level of play, to play devil's advocate one could argue the exact same thing about 3.0 - 5.5 levels also
Let's face it, at the rec level none of us are setting the tennis world on fire. We're all at varying degrees of crapiness.

Completely agree. However if you're a male who has the ability to walk and swing a racket you are a minimum 3.0 player. A true 2.5 male player is lucky if they don't hit every shot over the fence, let alone in the court. Whereas a 3.0 has at least a 50/50 chance of getting the average weak shot back in play.
S&V-not_dead_yet
I agree with Orange: if you're playing USTA, you should have a chance at the same post-season play. To do otherwise is to tell someone that they're not good enough so go home. What kind of message does that send? Not a very encouraging one, to my perception.
Taking that reasoning to its logical conclusion, someone can take that attitude with all rec players [ie anyone not making a living off of winning tournaments; in other words, only the top 100 or so players in the world]. There's always someone better than me who can look down at me and say "well, that's not REAL tennis".
Startzel
I think it probably has to do with the only 2.5s who are good enough for something like that are clearly cheating.
At least at 3.0 you'll likely find others at their level.
Moveforwardalways
Do 2.5 players even know the rules?
Moveforwardalways said:
Depends on the 2.5 players in question.
I know a 2.5 that knows more about tennis than I do! He is a 2.5 because he is 87 years old, not because he is new to tennis or ignorant of the game. I can only hope that I will also still be able to play at that age, regardless of what level it's at.
On the other hand, I know quite a few 4.5s who don't know the rules

I've seen quite a few former high school players sign up at 2.5 "because I haven't played in 10 years". They do know the rules - except the part about self-rating fairly. Eliminating nationals at 2.5 might help curb some of that behavior.
BeyondTheTape
If cheating was the case...i'd like to know the % of how many 2.5s were bumped up for the 2016 Year?
kylebarendrick said:
I've never even met one 2.5 let alone known "quite a few". Did they sign up at 2.5 because they were thinking about Nationals? If 2.5 Nationals were eliminated, wouldn't the same thing have happened at 3.0 [albeit less frequently due to increased skill level]?
Interesting again how Startzel's comment is about cheating whereas it didn't occur to me. Not saying either argument is correct, just that it's an interesting difference in thought process.
esgee48
Are there even 2.5 teams in NorCal? I do not recall if the team competitions even go that low. 3.0 IIRC is the lowest.
esgee48 said:
Indeed there are 2.5 teams. Not so many for men - maybe a handful. More for women - about 20 or so.
I did some random sampling on tennisleaguestats and there were a lot of regions with no 2.5 players [although that doesn't account for the unrateds]. In the areas that did have 2.5 Men, maybe they averaged 0.5% of the total. Not much of a group with which to hold Nationals.
lostinamerica
I didn't know there was a 2.5. I looked it up and the Caribbean won 2.5 mens. They have historically dominated low levels. Texas didn't even have a 2.5 team. I would think a section as big as ours would.
schmke
Here are some stats for 2.5s for you.
2014 year-end 2.5C - 11.7K
2015 18+ 2.5 teams - Over 1,300
Sections with fewest 18+ 2.5 teams:
Northern - 4
Hawaii - 7
SoCal - 8
Sections with the most 2.5 teams:
Southern - 545
******* - 133
Intermountain - 130
lostinamerica said:
No Men's 2.5, but 85 Women's 2.5.
schmke said:
Would be interesting to see the # of 2.5 men's teams since that is what they are eliminating. My guess is of those southern teams probably fewer than 60 of them would be men's teams. Seems to me the reason for eliminating them is there are so few men's teams competing there are so few teams that actually advance to nationals it's probably not a great experience for the teams that go.
Looking at the schedule from 2015 2.5 nationals there were 2 flights of 4 teams each for the men with one of those teams being a wildcard team from NorCal. On the women's side there were 17 teams. Mixed 2.5 Nationals had 4 teams. Seems to me lack of participation probably has as much to do with it as the level of tennis. Southern Sectional only had 3 men's teams compete to advance to Nationals (GA, LA and MS) and only LA had to beat more than 1 team to get to sectionals.

No disrespect meant at all, but I don't get why anyone would want to sandbag and try to play in 2.5 nationals. If you really aren't a beginner, what joy is there in saying you are the best beginner in the nation?
IA-SteveB said:
Completely agree, but how is that any different from wanting to sandbag at 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, etc... ?
What joy is there in saying you are the best 'not quite a beginner but not really any good either' player in the nation?
Point is, in terms of nationals, 2.5 players are driven by the same motivations as at any other level, whatever those motivations might be.

Quarks are essential parts of the Standard Model of Particle Physics,[1] the very successful theory of particles and fields that explains the workings of the universe. The Standard Model equivalent of the familiar periodic table of chemical elements is shown below. There are six types of quarks: Up, Down, Top, Bottom, Charm, and Strange shown in purple.
Normal matter is composed of neutrons and protons. Protons have two Up and one Down quark. Neutrons have two Down and one Up quark as illustrated in the image of a helium atom.

Lucido's civil asset forfeiture reform signed into law
LANSING, Mich. — Legislation sponsored by Sen. Peter J. Lucido reforming the process of civil asset forfeiture to ensure innocent Michigan residents don't lose their personal property was signed into law by the governor on Thursday.
"This is a commonsense and long-overdue reform that will protect the constitutional rights of innocent property owners," said Lucido, R-Shelby Township. "I appreciate the broad bipartisan support my bill received and thank the governor for signing it into law."
Senate Bill 2, now Public Act 7 of 2019, requires that an individual be convicted of or plead guilty to a crime before law enforcement can take ownership of personal property through the civil asset forfeiture process. Seized personal property will be returned if a person is not convicted of a crime.
