Benedict Cumberbatch has a meltdown
Hidden cameras catch members of the public having a nibble of Chocobatch
Chocobatch devoured
TV's "dishiest drama actor" received a good 'Easter licking' following public display as fans went into meltdown - WATCH THE VIDEO!
A life-size chocolate sculpture of the acclaimed actor Benedict Cumberbatch has been left in ruins following several assaults from over eager fans across the Easter weekend.
It was installed at a busy London shopping centre to celebrate the launch of TV channel Drama on the new on demand service uktvplay.co.uk, following a national poll which named the star as Britain's dishiest dramatic actor.
The sculpture was secretly filmed with hidden cameras across the weekend which caught shoppers in the act as they licked, chewed and chomped their way through Cumberbatch's confectionary counterpart.
Following the installation, Chocobatch, as the sculpture has been affectionately named, was left with missing ears, bow tie, fingers and parts of his head. Security believe all the key evidence has been eaten.
The hidden camera stunt was performed to celebrate the launch of TV channel Drama on UKTV's on demand service, uktvplay.co.uk.
The prank involved installing a life-sized chocolate model of the Sherlock star over the busy Easter weekend in London's Westfield Stratford City shopping centre. Producers worked through the early hours of the morning to place hidden cameras in strategic locations to capture the best reactions from unwary shoppers.
Adrian Wills, General Manager of Drama said,
In celebrating the launch of Drama on UKTV's on demand service, uktvplay.co.uk, we wanted to have a bit of fun with one of the stars of the channel and one of Britain's most loved actors - Benedict Cumberbatch. We knew a chocolate statue of the drama actor may prove tricky to resist so this was an experiment in many ways. Fans clearly couldn't keep their hands off him - he's been ravaged!
#Chocobatch tweets

So far, so good for Hawkeye State's new pro-life bill
Charlie Butts (OneNewsNow.com)
Iowa's ban on abortions at 20 weeks has been challenged, but the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has lost the first round in court.
Governor Terry Branstad has signed into law a bill that bans abortions starting at 20 weeks. Jenifer Bowen, spokeswoman for Iowa Right to Life, tells OneNewsNow it features some add-ons that make the bill different than other states'.
"What that included was a 72-hour or three-day waiting period for a woman seeking an abortion, as well as the opportunity to view her ultrasound, view its heartbeat, [and] informed consent basic legislation was also added," Bowen explains.
But the ACLU believes it is such a hardship for a woman to wait 72 hours and review information provided on the possible physical and psychological consequences of abortion that the organization filed suit in Polk County District Court.
"They sought an injunction on the bill, and thankfully, the court ruled in favor of life, and they actually denied Planned Parenthood's request for the injunction," the pro-lifer reports.
And it took Judge Jeffery Farrell less than 72 hours to issue his decision. The lawsuit could go to trial at a later date, unless Planned Parenthood drops it. So far, 20 states have laws that bar abortions starting at 20 weeks, while the bills in three more states have been challenged in court.
Numerous Planned Parenthood closures not missed
Evidence continues to mount proving that the Trump administration was right about his decision to defund abortion giant Planned Parenthood.

Film submission Amandus STUDENT
Amandus Student is the international student film competition at the festival. The competition aims to be the grandest and most important film competition for student films in the Nordic Region.
The deadline for film submissions is January 10th 2020.
A prestigious jury will select the winners, and they will be announced at the prize ceremony Friday April 3rd. The Amandus Prize Ceremony will honor all the film talents that are gathered at the festival.
To be submit a film to the main competition, you need to be logged in. You can register on this page.
Submission to the other main competitions, Amandus Ung and Amandus Junior, is at the moment only available in the Norwegian site.
The film has to be a student film
Amandus – Lillehammer International Student Film Festival defines a student film as a film made in association to a educational institution and that is made by students. The competition is not limited to films made at film schools: A film made in relation to other subjects are also welcome. The film is directed, written, produced and conducted by students. Help from non-students is allowed, though they should be limited to guiding and non-creative contributors. Actors in the film do not have to be students, and neither do the music composer, if the film has originally composed music.
The film has to be associated to the Nordic Region
The festival will initially only accept film submissions of films made in the Nordic Region, which is Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland, in addition to the associated regions like Greenland, Faroe Islands and Åland Islands. If the film is not made in this region, but has a strong connection to one or more of the countries (e.g. film makers are originally from one of these countries), exceptions will be considered. Please elaborate in the submission.
Use of copyright protected music in films
When you submit a film to the competition, all the rights for use of copyrighted material has to be in order. If you use a music track that you don't own yourself, you need to have this clarified with the artist or the producer.
NCB is the Nordic company that is administrating the rights for the use of music tracks. See their website for more information.
We encourage every film maker to use royalty free music, or, even better, originally composed music.
What do you need for the film submission?
Before you proceed to the submission form, please have this information ready:
General information about the film (title, duration, language, production year)
A film description that can be used in the catalog. Try to make a nice and short description of the film that makes the readers want to see it. The text cannot exceed 1000 characters.
Which educational institution the film is attached, and any other production companies that has been involved.
A screener of the film
Any promotional material that is available (image/poster, social media profiles, website etc.). This is optional and can also be sent at a later time.
The screener
There's no point of submitting a film if we aren't able to see it. The easiest way to submit a screener is to use a streaming service like YouTube or Vimeo. On YouTube you can choose to make the film unlisted when you upload it, so only the ones with the URL link gets access to the film. With Vimeo you can also password protect the video. Remember to give us the correct password so we are able to get in. Note that Vimeo has a maximum limit of 500 MB on the free version. To upload bigger files, you need a payed version. Remember that this is only meant as a screener for the selection committee to see in beforehand. The film doesn't need to have maximum resolution or the best quality for this purpose (but if the film is admitted to the festival, we would like a copy with maximum quality). You can also use other services to send the file, like Dropbox, Google Drive, WeTransfer or Filemail. We would then prefer that the file size doesn't exceed 1 GB.
Submit your film here!

Injured Andrew Harrison powers Kentucky to Sweet 16
By Lorenzo Reyes March 23, 2014 9:44 pm
BY GARY MIHOCES
(Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY Sports)
ST. LOUIS — No, it wasn't a Willis Reed moment. But freshman guard Andrew Harrison of Kentucky did tough it out with an elbow injury to lead his team to a win over previously perfect Wichita State.
In the 1970 NBA finals, Reed took the court for the New York Knicks despite a torn muscle in his thigh. He played only briefly but inspired his team to a win.
Harrison hurt his right (shooting) elbow battling for a loose ball late in Kentucky's second round win against Kansas State. Coach John Calipari said it was iffy whether Harrison would play against Wichita State.
He did play and led the Wildcats with 20 points.
"Once you get your adrenaline flowing, it felt fine," said Harrison. "But it was still a little painful."
Harrison's twin brother, Aaron, who scored 19, said he never doubted his brother would be out there.
"I've known him for quite awhile," Aaron kidded. " … I knew he was going to play. He wasn't going to sit out this big of a game."
Calipari said there was uncertainty while Harrison was being iced up the day and night before the game.
"The (athletic) trainer slept with him. Not in the same bed with him, but he was there in the room with him. The ice was on."
Harrison played with a blue sleeve on his elbow.
"Without him obviously you know now it would have been a different game," said Calipari. "We couldn't have won the game. So I am happy he played."

One of the most interesting challenges of developing an emulator is that both the target hardware and most of the target software start out as black boxes. As often mentioned within emulation circles, the first step to developing an emulator for a console is getting unsigned code running on real hardware. While running unsigned code on the GameCube can be a bit of a pain, requiring custom hardware or a mixture of the broadband adapter and certain games, the Wii has one of the most robust homebrew environments of any console. Just about anyone can download devkitpro, write their own homebrew, and run it on the Wii.
The truth is that Dolphin is mostly used as an emulator for retail games, but it can also be a useful step for testing homebrew and hacks. After all, when running in Dolphin, users can pause execution, dump RAM, and poke memory without the need for a USB Gecko. While the golden age of Wii homebrew has long passed, several game hacks are still under active development and the Wii remains one of the easiest game consoles to jump into and develop software. Because homebrew can rely on behaviors that games wouldn't ever want to do, even the simplest of projects can stumble into emulator bugs.
Developers kind enough to make their homebrew open source give Dolphin developers an interesting way of debugging issues. It's one of the rare cases where the software being debugged isn't a black box! This greatly cuts down how much effort and expertise is needed to debug what is happening in an issue - instead of mapping out what a game is doing through assembly, we can just look at the source code! Users who write tests that break Dolphin and provide source code give us a much easier look than trying to reverse-engineer what closed source software is doing.
This month, two bugs were discovered that, to our knowledge, do not affect any retail software! Thanks to homebrew projects, these bugs are now a thing of the past. In addition to that, Dolphin on Android has seen a myriad of improvements since our article earlier this month, and netplay saw some new features to make setting up games easier along with a new mode to reduce latency in three/four player matches!
Dolphin Progress Report: April and May 2018
Users of Dolphin may have noticed that things look a little bit different in the GUI. That's right, mid-April DolphinQt was unleashed to the masses as the default GUI! It hasn't been without some expected headaches and growing pains, but, overall most of the features are working and the transition is going along as smoothly as we could have hoped. For those having problems, the DolphinWx.exe is still included and will be updated with all the core changes.
Considering that we spent a whole monthly article on Qt, let's get into some actual emulator changes. In between the mountain of Qt changes has been an explosion of progress and fixes hitting everything from CPU edge-cases to Vertex Loader fixes! With that, please enjoy this month's notable changes!
The Legend of Dolphin: A Lens Between Worlds
Chapter 1: The Will of the Old Gods¶
Within the Kingdom of Dolphin, a legend has been passed from generation to generation. While many of the facts have long turned to myth, fragments of this tale are echoed to this day.
This tale began way back in the ancient times known as "2003" when the Old Gods sought to create a wondrous tool that would allow denizens of the PC realm to peer into that of the GameCube dimension. Behind …
While a lot of our focus goes into the core emulation experience, we also recognize how important it is for users to be able to use the emulator. Dolphin now has several different User Interfaces (UIs) that are used across several platforms. A UI serves many purposes at the same time: from giving users access to the most important options, to relaying information to the users as they're using the program, and sometimes even communicating to developers what the program is doing at a given time.
This month, UI takes center stage, as DolphinQt, Dolphin Android, and even Dolphin Android T.V. UIs all saw big improvements!
June was a month where a lot of important features were merged, but few of them had to do with actual emulation. Every emulator has its own philosophy and goals. While the primary goal is usually to emulate the console at hand, many emulators place secondary goals on various features and ideas. One of Dolphin's secondary goals is to make using the emulator as simple of a process as possible. There are lots of features that try to simplify things, like the Game INI system, support for real …

Is the Confederate Monument Area Really Owned By Caddo Parish?
Matt Parker
Erin McCarty
There has been a HUGE debate for years over who owns the land the Confederate Monument in Downtown Shreveport sits on. The Parish believes they own the land. The Daughters of the Confederacy believe they are the rightful heirs.
Yesterday, attorney John Settle filed a lawsuit in Caddo Court and is asking a judge to decide who owns the land. The Parish claims they own the land due to frontier rights. The opposition claims that patch of land belongs to the family of Larkin Edwards. Settle told KTBS that before there is a fight about the statue, the issue of ownership of the land should be decided first.
But, in the not so distant past, it appears that the Daughters of the Confederacy has lost this fight once already. Back in 2011, the Caddo Commission wanted the Confederate Flag removed from the area on which the Confederate Monument sits. After much discussion and argument, it was determined then that the parish owned the land all along, and not the Daughters of the Confederacy.
From that fight, it was determined that that the deed itself never actually went to the Daughters of the Confederacy. And that discovery is what allowed the Caddo Parish Commission to removed the Confederate flag at that time.
In fact, during the removal of the flag, the Commission actually worked hand in hand with the Daughters "when taking down the flag and pole, because the 'Daughters' group owned them, just not the land."
So does this settle the argument? Is a lawsuit and court case necessary? I guess we'll see what happens in the near future.

This is the Node module for communicating with Tessel by the commandline, pushing code and controlling network settings / configuration, or for programmatically interacting with Tessel.

```
npm install tessel
```

## Module API

You can interact with Tessel programmatically.

```js
var tessel = require('tessel');
```

### Module
This module creates a single-threaded local server to which multiple processes can connect to a single Tessel over USB, as well as a `TesselClient` object that acts as a connection to the Tessel.

```
var tessel = require('tessel-client');
```

 # Object  tessel.descriptors
Hash of USB descriptors.

```
{
  TESSEL_VID: 0x1d50, TESSEL_PID: 0x6097,
  TESSEL_OLD_VID: 0x1fc9, TESSEL_OLD_PID: 0x2002,
  NXP_ROM_VID: 0x1fc9, NXP_ROM_PID: 0x000c
}
```

 # tessel.connect( port, host ) → TesselClient
Connects to a local Tessel server.

 # tessel.connectServer( path, callback(err, port) )
Connects a detached child server to a Tessel USB port. Returns the port at which the local Tessel server is listening.

 # tessel.detectModems( callback(err, paths) )
Retrieve the path of each Tessel connected by USB in an array.

 # tessel.selectModem( onnotfound(), callback(err, path) )
Interactive menu for selecting a Tessel to connect to. Will continue to poll until a suitable client is found, calling the `onnotfound` callback (perhaps continuously). Once a device is found, if multiple options exist, user is prompted for a selection. Then the `callback` is passed the path of the chosen device.

 # tessel.acquire( [path, ], callback(err, client) )
Acquires a Tessel client, either interactively (via `selectModem`) or directly given the supplied `path`. The callback is passed a `TesselClient` object.

 # tessel.bundleFiles( relpath, args, files, callback(err, bundle) )
`relpath` is the starting path of the application relative to root. `args` is the `process.argv` array. `files` is a map of tessel filesystem paths to local filesystem paths from the computer. This function returns to the callback with a bundle that can be deployed to Tessel.

### `TesselClient` object
Created by `tessel.connect`.

 # DuplexStream  client.stdout
Stream of output from the client module.

 # client.send( json )
Sends a message to be read by `process.on('message', callback)` by the child script.

 # client.wifiStatus( callback(err, wifiStatus) )
Returns the status of the board's Wifi. `wifiStatus` has the properties "connected" and "ip".

 # client.configureWifi( ssid, pass, security, [opts,] callback(err, wifiStatus) )
Connects to the given Wifi network. `security` can be one of "wpa2", "wep", or null. `pass` can be null if no security is chosen. `err` is true if the network could not be connected to. An optional `opts` object allows an integer `timeout` number to be specified in seconds.

 # client.deployBundle( tarbundle, opts, onScriptStart(err) )
Deploys a tar bundle of code to the device. `opts` can have a flag `save` to write the bundle to the local filesystem, or `flash` to flash the device instead of running from RAM.

 # client.erase()
Erases internal flash on the device of any running code.

 # client.stop()
Stops the current script.

 # client.deploy( filepath, argv, onScriptStart(err) )
Given a file path, automatically deploys the file and its nearest directory with a `package.json` file to Tessel.

 # client → emits "script-start"
Emitted when a client script starts.

 # client → emits "script-stop"
Emitted when a client script exits.

The Yugoslav army leadership comes under growing scrutiny as more mass graves are exhumed.
The discovery of another mass grave in western Serbia last week added more weight to the war crimes charges leveled against Slobodan Milosevic in The Hague. But whether the ultimate target of these revelations, spearheaded by the Serbian police ministry, is Milosevic, Yugoslav president Vojislav Kostunica or army chief General Nebojsa Pavkovic, is harder to fathom.
President Kostunica is locked in a political struggle with Serbian prime minister Zoran Djindjic over the command structure of the Yugoslav army, VJ. Kostunica has shown no intention of changing its leadership, despite growing evidence of the military's involvement in covering up crimes against Kosovo Albanians during the NATO bombing in 1999.
On Saturday July 14, a Serbian police ministry official, Captain Dragan Karleusa, told journalists that a freezer truck, containing between 50 and 60 corpses, was pushed into the reservoir of the hydroelectric plant at Perucac, western Serbia, in April 1999. Seven corpses immediately floated back to the surface and were removed. Two days later the remaining bodies floated up.
The Belgrade daily, Danas, published on July 16 eyewitness testimony phoned in to the newsroom by an anonymous reservist. "It was night time, I saw a freezer truck being pushed into the lake," he said. " They previously lowered the water level. Then they fired a rocket into the truck to sink it. But the corpses began to emerge from the hole the missile made. They took them out and buried them in the estuary of the river Derventa, near the village of Rastiste."
The reservist said that the bodies that appeared on the lake two days later were buried in a separate grave, next to the first. He said the operation was characterized as a "state secret".
A senior police officer told IWPR that witnesses to the incident were first threatened and then paid 20 German marks to shut up about it. "That's true," confirmed a government official who did not want his name known. "The witnesses of the horror near Kladovo were silenced in the same way."
Kladovo in eastern Serbia is the site of another atrocity against Kosovo Albanians involving a freezer truck (BCR No. 256, 15-Jun-01). That truck, found on 7 April 1999 on the bed of the Danube, contained more than 50 bodies of men, women and children.
These civilians may be among the bodies buried at the mass grave uncovered in Petrovo Selo, 11 km west of Kladovo. On June 29, district public prosecutor Miroslav Srzentic said 74 corpses had been dug out, though there were no children among them.
According to IWPR's source in the Serbian government, a third freezer truck filled with Albanians was sunk in the Danube in April 1999, not far from Djerdap hydroelectric dam. "We have the witnesses," he said, "and the investigation will follow soon."
The locations of all four episodes are within easy reach of the N752 highway that links Kladovo, via Nis, with Pristina.
The same source said VJ members drove some of the freezer trucks, "Do you know what their officers told them to do? Collect the bodies in a pile, splash them with petrol and burn them. When they found that not everything would burn, those young men had to load them onto trucks with shovels."
Three VJ soldiers, responsible for the grisly task, are currently in the Military Academy Hospital in Belgrade. In their medical records - which IWPR has read - doctors say the men are suffering from grave psychological disorders "caused by the burial of corpses".
Meanwhile, the excavation of another mass grave continued at the Serbian interior ministry training ground at Batajnica, 18 km northwest of Belgrade, according to Djordje Alempijevic from the Institute of Forensic Medicine. Alempijevic conducted forensic work at the first mass grave in Batajnica in June, when between 36 and 38 corpses were exhumed.
"We are still identifying the spots and initial digs," he said. "We removed the surface, and it is evident that something is there. We found some human bones. But I cannot predict how many corpses could be there."
Investigators from The Hague tribunal are attending the exhumation. Prosecution spokeswoman Florence Hartmann said that they will remain in Serbia until all the bodies brought from Kosovo and buried in Batajnica have been counted. "Our goal is that the complete truth should be established," she added.
Over ten hours of video footage was shot during the exhumation of the first mass grave in Batajnica in early June. An edited tape was passed to the prosecution in The Hague shortly before Milosevic's extradition.
And the secrets are still spilling out. On July 17, Serbian police minister Dusan Mihajlovic told a press conference that three brothers named Bytyqi, all US citizens of Albanian origin, were among bodies exhumed at Petrovo Selo.
"In one of the two investigated graves, three male corpses were found with their hands tied and eyes covered," said Mihajlovic. "These bodies were more preserved than others, and there were firearm wounds in the region of their heads." The written verdict of a judge in Kursumlija, dated 27 June 1999, was found in the jacket of one of the corpses. It sentenced them to 15 days imprisonment for violating their foreigners' stay permits.
The killings of the Bytyqi brothers and the others in the grave clearly took place after the Kumanovo peace agreement was signed, ending the conflict in Kosovo.
None of this bodes well for Slobodan Milosevic, but nor can General Pavkovic or President Kostunica himself feel entirely at ease. Kostunica consistently blocked Milosevic's extradition and is now resisting moves to replace Pavkovic. Kostunica also appears ambivalent about the bodies now being dug up from mass graves across Serbia.
When the Serbian police claimed that these are the remains of Kosovo Albanians, the president condemned the statement as "premature and irresponsible". He urged the Serbian Justice Ministry not to hand the bodies over to the UN in Kosovo "because they could be victims of Serbian nationality".

At CHG Studios, I am dedicated to my customers who appreciate handcrafted lampwork beads and jewelry. I envision, design and produce each lampwork bead individually in my home studio in Powell, Ohio. The jewelry pieces I create reflect both exceptional quality and distinctive design. My one of a kind beads are also available in sets for others to share in the creation of original jewelry pieces.
Initially my jewelry was available only at Shows & Events at fine art festivals in Ohio and nearby states. My pieces are now available for purchase at a few galleries and stores in central Ohio and in Michigan, and now, directly from my studio through this website. Please select the category from the SHOPPING links at the left.
While shopping from the website, keep in mind that the items shown are representations of the items which you will receive. Each glass bead is handmade and unique, and though the size and color of each bead will remain mostly uniform, there will be some variation from the items pictured. Also, color monitors are different and the actual colors may appear different on yours.
Additionally, the Bali-style sterling silver beads and clasps shown in the photographs are a representation of the Bali-style sterling silver beads and clasps which you will receive in your piece. The beads and clasps will all be of the same high quality, style and size, but may vary in some of the finer details.
I have been creating jewelry for almost ten years and have been lampworking for over nine years. Travels to Colorado, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and Florida have allowed me to learn extraordinary bead and jewelry making techniques from other well-respected and unique artists. Fortunately the learning experience never ends! To find out more about me or the instuctors who have shared their inspiration with me, see the About the Artist page.
In addition to featuring my handcrafted lampwork glass beads in my jewelry, my pieces also contain handcrafted sterling silver beads from Bali, India and Thailand; Swarovski™ crystals and pearls from Austria; semi-precious gemstone beads and freshwater pearls imported from various countries worldwide; ceramic beads from Greece; and the best quality toggles and findings available in sterling silver and 14k gold filled.


17, April 2015: Over the last decade and in the coming decade, it is believed that the technological standards and the kinds of products offered would touch newer heights. With launch of electric vehicles and alternative fuel transportation, the future does seem to be very exciting. Unicycles, Monocycles, or the electric self-balancing scooters are among the products, which are there in the market and promise to transform the way we travel. Airwheel is one such company, which has already made the move to offer its range of electric-powered and advanced cycles and scooters. The company is based in USA and is currently exporting its products to more than 20 different countries. It has already taken drastic promotional steps to launch its products and aggressively market them.
The company is known to offer self-balancing electric scooter, unicycle, and monocycle. Recently, the Japanese media channel, Tokyo Broadcasting System Television had organized an activity named &Happy in Sydney, Australia. The electric unicycle manufactured by Airwheel was the main purpose of the entire activity and gave a lot of visibility for the company to offer it in the Australian Market. In the organized activity, the interviewed man who was a part of the entire activity said that he enjoyed the overall experience, which came with a range of challenges. It inspired him so much that he went on to buy the Airwheel electric monocycle. It just took him some time to practice and steer the monocycle in a very easy manner. The man also mentioned that he had seen the device on the internet and had been pretty eager to try it ever since.
Presently, the company has been offering limited number of products in the Australian market and this platform has given it a tremendous boost in terms of visibility. It is expected to launch all its products in the country and would come up with other promotional campaigns and demonstrations in future. Airwheel has been in the business from 2013 while its R&D process dates back to the year of 2004. In order to know more about the products they offer or buy any of them or even request a demonstration, customers can get in touch with them through their website. The website also offers all the relevant videos, descriptions and information about all the products the company offers.
Airwheel is a company, which specialises in the manufacture and export of innovative products. The product portfolio includes the unicycles, mono-cycles, and the self-balancing scooters. The company established in 2013, it has expanded across 20 different nations. For more information about their products, customers can visit their website.

LEXINGTON, KY, October 22, 2021 /24-7PressRelease/ — The National Association of State Chief Administrators (NASCA) announced the appointment of Christi W. Branscom as President of the Executive Committee to fill the remainder of the term vacated by Brom Stibitz of Michigan. Branscom, who previously served as Vice President of the Executive Committee, is the Commissioner of Tennessee's Department of General Services. As Commissioner, Branscom oversees all divisions within the Department of General Services.
Branscom, the first female to serve as President of NASCA's Executive Committee, is a dynamic leader who will contribute greatly to the national association and its continued success. Branscom will be tasked with advancing the association's mission to improve state government operations and engage in shared thought leadership. "It is an honor and a pleasure to step into the role of President of NASCA's Executive Committee," said Branscom. "NASCA serves as a valuable venue for state chief administrators and their teams seeking to strategically transform state government operations, and I'm excited to have a hand in achieving this mission."
A native of Knoxville, Branscom began her career in public service as the Senior Director of Public Works for the city of Knoxville and was later promoted to serve as Deputy to the Mayor and Chief Operating Officer. Branscom was the first female in Knoxville history to hold those positions. Before joining the public sector in 2012, Branscom was COO, General Counsel, and Principal Managing Real Estate Broker at Partners Development, where she enjoyed a successful career for over 20 years.
Branscom is a graduate of the University of Tennessee, where she graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Science in finance. She then attended the University of Memphis to receive her Juris Doctorate. Branscom was the 2014 recipient of the University of Tennessee Accomplished Alumni Award. She's also a 2009 graduate of Leadership Knoxville, a 2017 graduate of Leadership Tennessee, and a fellow of the Knoxville Bar Foundation.
Commissioner Branscom maintains a philanthropic commitment in her community and has served on the boards of numerous non-profit agencies and organizations supporting the arts. Most notably, Branscom raised over $25,000 for the Cancer Support Community (CSC) by running marathons, an organization Branscom has been involved in and supported for many years. In 2016, she was an honoree at the American Cancer Society Hope Gala.
Currently, Commissioner Branscom serves on the Dean's Advisory Council for the University of Tennessee Haslam College of Business, the Leadership Tennessee Board of Directors, and the Thistle Farms' Board of Directors.

How many of you have a favourite YouTuber that you love to watch? That you freak out over if you miss a video?
Yeah, that would be me. I watch a lot of videos about books mainly (BookTubers), but in the last few months have discovered some awesome non-book related channels. I am often seen leaping out of bed in the morning to see if Alfie (PointlessBlogTV) has uploaded his daily vlog yet. Most times there's a new one up, and I will have my coffee "with him." It's something I look forward to...I don't know why. Possibly that's a strange habit. But it's something I enjoy, so it can't be that bad, right?

Q: A tale of two DropDownLists (that behave differently despite being configured identically) Ok, I'm about to go crazy here, because the reversed definition of insanity is doing the same thing and getting different results.
For the given ASPX:
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl1" runat="server" DataSource="<%# DataContext.Items1 %>"
DataValueField="Id" DataTextField="Text" AppendDataBoundItems="false"></asp:DropDownList>
<br/>
<asp:DropDownList ID="ddl2" runat="server" DataSource="<%# DataContext.Items2 %>"
DataValueField="Key" DataTextField="Value" AppendDataBoundItems="false"></asp:DropDownList>

You would think that both DropDownLists would behave similarly - that is, upon postback, both would go through the same exact lifecycle and work normally.   After all, the only difference is that they use different datasources (both IEnumerable<Whatever>) and access different properties for the Text/Value fields.
So I expect that on a postback (via form submit), by the time Page.LoadComplete executes, both the DDLs should have loaded 1) loaded their Items via the DataSource and 2) loaded their state (SelectedIndex) from the postback data.
Unfortunately, that is not the case.   What I am seeing is that ddl1 will execute LoadViewState (loads Items) then LoadPostData (sets SelectedIndex), but ddl2 does not execute LoadViewState - only LoadPostData.   At which point ddl2 is now incorrect since if it doesn't have Items then it ignores the value from LoadPostData.
So I am flabbergasted.  I have cleaned the solution and restarted VS2010 several times, i've added EnableViewState="true" to ddl2, and yet the inconsistent behavior persists.
Can somebody shed some light here as to why the DropDownLists behave differently despite being configured nearly identically?
CLARIFICATION
My page is drastically more complicated than 2 DropDownLists, I only specified 2 in the example for clarity's sake.   There's actually 42 DDLs, 7 checkboxes, 5 textboxes, and 2 listboxes
UPDATE
I tried
A) swapping datasources/fields - no diff
B) using the same datasources/fields - no diff
C) Removing ddl1 - ddl2 started working again!
D) Added ddl3 (a copy of ddl1) - neither ddl2 or ddl3 worked
So I think I'm hitting against some sort of ViewState size limitiation here - i'm going to recode some of my DropDownLists such that they don't store the Items in the ViewState, but instead reload it from the DataSource prior to LoadPostData.

A: The simplest explanation tends to be the most likely to be correct. So if everything is the same except for the data source, then the problem lies in the data source. Alternatively, it works with one so the problem is having two. Have you tried:

*

*loading two drop down lists using the same data source (both the good one and the bad one?)

*loading a single drop down list on the page pointing to the bad data source?

Hope this helps.

A: Similar to @theoretical's answer, another thing to check/try:
Ensure that "Key" and "Value" are defined as properties on DataContext.Items2.  Make sure they're not public data fields, but actually are properties; some of the .NET controls (Repeaters, I think) look explicitly and only for Properties when doing reflection.
Maybe temporarily switch ddl2's DataValueField and DataTextField settings to be the same as ddl1, to help narrow down the possible issues.
You've got me curious as to the root cause of this issue - good luck!

A: I don't know for sure what the problem is, but my guess is that I had 1 too many form fields, which caused ddl2 to not be stored correctly in the ViewState.
So I created a LightDropDownList which subclassed DropDownList and used that for ddl2.   The LightDropDownList disables ViewState, and calls DataBind() during OnInit.   The way the normal DDL works is that it loads the Items from the ViewState, sets the selected item on LoadPostData, and then the Items get overridden when the Page databinds.   So I could eliminate the need to store all the Items data in the ViewState simply by manually calling DataBind.   That way when the LoadPostData method gets called, the DDL has its Items loaded and therefore the selected item is correctly set.

Top 5 Quarterbacks and the Watches They're Sporting
Posted on October 27, 2017 by David Williams
Photo By: Keith Allison
So maybe you can't get behind a certain team or a certain player. But you can get behind their watch choice. Because no matter what jersey they're wearing, part of being a professional athlete is being able to sport some pretty cool gear on and off the field.
Quarterbacks have to make decisions all the time, under pressure and in front of millions of people. Not only are these guys some of the highest paid people in the country, they're also household names with a great deal of respect. Oftentimes professional athletes are targeted to be ambassadors for big time luxury brand names they don't even actually like, that's not the case for these guys. For the top quarterbacks in the nation right now, it's all about what watch speaks to them.
Dak Prescott: Rolex Datejust 41
The Cowboys got a bit of a surprise with the young Prescott who managed to satisfy even some of the toughest critics at the age of 23. After being crowned 2016's Rookie of the Year, he donned a Rolex Datejust 41 at the ESPYs. Prescott chose his with a jubilee bracelet, which is an apt choice for the fancy award ceremony. He also adorned it with a diamond bezel, customized just for him. If you're interested in the Datejust model, you'll be pleased to know that it comes with different dial styles and widths, and different metals. It recently debuted a 904L stainless steel option, which is some of the toughest stainless steel you can buy. It features Chronergy benefits as well, which is Rolex's way of giving you a quality power reserve of around 70 hours.
Tom Brady: TAG Heuer
Tom Brady has a more official relationship with TAG Heuer than Prescott has with Rolex. He's an official ambassador and has been advertising the strength of their watches for the past few years to his many (many) adoring fans. Considering he's one of the most well-known and liked quarterbacks with a string of wins beneath his belt, it's safe to say he isn't going to endorse a product that he doesn't personally believe in. In fact, the brand wanted his input when they designed the Tom Brady Special Edition Heuer 01 Chronograph. When he won his fifth Super Bowl, Brady received a special TAG Heuer Carrera Tourbillon that commemorated his impressive history of winning.
Cam Newton: Rolex Yacht-Master
If you're not used to seeing Newton when he's not leading the Panthers to victory, you may just do a double take when you see his fashion sense. There's a lot to be said about how a man dresses. It's not just the clothes that set him apart, it's the way he presents himself in those clothes. Newton may have some bold choices in terms of how he dresses, but he tones it down a little when it comes to his watch. The Yacht-Master is a simple style that honors those who love the water, and it it's a perfect choice to help Newton pull off all those wild hats and neon colors he's been known to wear.
Aaron Rodgers: Patek Phillippe Calatrava
This is definitely not the only watch the Green Bay Packers quarterback owns — he owns watches from all kinds of luxury makers in his collection. We chose this one for its pure elegance and timeless style. It's not easy to make a watch that's beloved by each new generation, yet Patek Phillippe managed to do it. The profile of this watch manages to impress both the owner and his companions without making the wearer feel ostentatious. Rodgers has always been honest about his ideas that bigger is often better, which is why some of his watches reflect that sentiment. But there are also times that call for something a little understated, which is when the Calatrava can really shine.
Russell Wilson: Rolex Daytona
The Daytona that Wilson owns was first seen in Wilson's app (he designed his own video app for Seahawk's fans to get a better idea of his lifestyle.) The exact one that he owns isn't even made anymore because Rolex replaced the steel tachymeter bezel with the ceramic bezel. It's not necessarily a surprise to keep seeing Rolexes on this list. (In fact, it was hard to find a QB who didn't have a Rolex.) From the time quarterbacks are young, it's likely the brand name that comes most often. To a certain extent, all luxury watches serve a small symbol of success, so it stands to reason a Rolex would be that symbol for so many.

Q: C# Learning for a Beginner : To do a project without having read big concepts After 3 years working as an IT Support Technician, I decided to change of field and get to Programming.
I am learning C# through the Wrox Beginning Visual C# 2008 book, that I use as guideline.
I have read the whole POO part (inheritance, Polymorphism,....delegates,...).
I have started the second part which is Windows Programming (Winforms)
I know that lots of you recommend to do some working applications in order to practice, but how can I do some personnal projects if I haven't even started concepts like SQL Server, LINQ or Network Programming, WPF, WCF.... Those topics are enumarated at the end of the book.
I am just trying to find the best method : Should I first finish this book and then start to code, or should I just do a project without having read the hot topics  or jump straight forward to those topics.
I dont know if you see what I mean as english isn't my first language. But if you don't I can improve my explanation.

A: Start coding. Trial and (t)error is the way to go. Use the book as a reference if you find yourself needing something that you haven't learned.
When you went to driving school, did you just read about driving? ;)
Edit
A bit more elaborate answer. Books are great if you can read straight through them and remember everything. But most often you can't. Someone else suggested that you start with a project and that is a great way to go.
But ALWAYS stop every half hour or so and read your code again. And be naughty. Yell at yourself if your code looks like something developed by my 85 year old grandma.
Beautiful code  is very important.
It's easy to read and most often well designed. If your code ain't, don't start code again until you have refactored it into something more well structured. You could always post your code here at stackoverflow to get refactoring suggestions. There are plenty of experts here eager to help you.
And that's the best way to learn.

A: You should code as much as possible. If you have no programming background or experience I suggest starting with a few small projects:

*

*A calculator: start with the four basic operations and when everything is working add a few more functions and graphing.

When you learn a little about databases:

*

*A blog engine: from the database generate a HTML file. Create interfaces to add a new post to a database. This doesn't need to be a web application: you can make an WinForms app that will generate a set of HTML files.

When you learn a little about networking:

*

*An IRC client. The protocol is simple to be implemented and can be fun to write your own client.

And, after that, start your own little personal side projects. It should help you to learn better.

A: The main problem in your situation is that you most probably copy-pasted the examples found on the book. This is not enough.
You need to get your hands wet. I saw other fellow posters here suggesting 'complex' (for your level) applications. I would follow a simpler path. I know you are eager to start developing your own projects, but you need to have an understanding on how to "talk" to the machine and how to "use" the language.
Don't set the bar too high or you will be frustrated. A simple application will do. Start with a windows form and a button. Alter the form's properties on your own. Search and discover using the GUI (Visual Studio).
once you feel enough comfortable, write code for your first event. You don't need something fancy; a MessageBox.Show() is perfect for this. When you're done with handling your button's click event, explore other events and/or objects.
Whatever you do don't get into algorithms and other components yet. Progress slowly and only when you feel comfortable.
Ask, discover, google, experiment, advance.
Good luck and welcome.

A: I don't think you should assume that you need a project that requires linq or SQL or networking or WPF... if you're a beginner you'll get challenge enough just writing a calculator, or a simple in-memory address book, or hangman, or something of that scope.
If you choose small projects like these, you're also more likely to complete the project successfully - which is a big help when you're learning.  You're also likely to be able to concentrate on one or two programming techniques at a time, which means you'll learn better.

A: The application you write doesn't have to do anything really useful, it's just important to get code down and start playing with it. You learn more from your own mistakes than you ever would from a book.
Start by throwing controls on a form and making them interact, then move on to file IO, maybe reading text or an image from a file and putting the data into one of the controls. Then modify the data and save it back again. Go in small steps and extend your code. The knowledge will come quickly.

A: You should also consider reading a book about development in general. These books help you in understanding software development and can prevent you from making mistakes you might make otherwise.
A good book to read about that is Code Complete 2, this book covers everything you might need to know (from the startup phase of a project to debugging etc). This book is also recommended for reading by experienced developers. I read this book after a couple of years of development and it learned me quite a lot (it also stated some obvious things I already knew, but that did not matter).

A: I'm a beginner too , but the thing that's really helping me , is writing application (simple ones of course) , and -the important thing- ask about what you don't understand or want to understand here in stack overflow , this site really helped me to understand many things....people here are really good :D

A: My recommandation ot read article about important topics if you dont want to read whole books by this way you can get more infomation about the concepts and coding details>
You get good amount of article on : CodeProject

A: You could read open-source projects, rather than books.

A: Write a simple calculator with WinForms. Plenty to learn there.

A: My experience has shown that it is usually too dry to just read a book without do some coding in the meanwhile to apply the things you just learned.
If you hesitate to start over with your project at least try the samples given in the book.
It is like really getting in touch with the things that are just written down in the book.
BTW: Your English is fine - but I'm not a native speaker either.

A: If you can invest about $200, go to LearnVisualStudio.net
Your investment will pay off FAST!.
I learn better from videos (since you get to see it happen). Books are good if you want to get into concepts. Also, you can search on YouTube for short helpful tutorials.
Good luck!

A: First:
I would suggest doing some exercises from here first:
http://projecteuler.net/index.php?section=problems&page=1
It's extremely useful to have some "smart" skills in programming. Spend 2-3 weeks on these kind of problems to understand the basics.
You'll meet a lot of projects where it's necessary to "think about the problem" and analyze it deeply rather than drag and drop a control to a form. And some of these problems will open up your mind.
Second:
Continue with OOP. Start with simple projects where inheritance, polymorphism etc is involved and database basic stuff is required (like: build a library application or an medical tool).
Third:
Go further with web or desktop programming stuff and start a complex application.
(to practice linq, sql server, etc)
Happy coding.

A: Personally, i'd recommend the "Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Step by Step" book by John Sharp. As well as discussing how to program in abstract terms, there are also samples and activities that you can "code along" with the book.
This is the third edition of the book; there is also a version for 2008 (.NET 3.5) and 2003, if you want to go back to previous versions of C# and the .NET runtime. Each book covers the basics, however, so you can pick up any of them and get started.

A: In my opinion, there arn't many people who can code and being successful in projects without professional training. There are, but I wouldn't expect to be one of them.
Of course you can learn to write your own small apps, that is not so hard, but this is far from professional and will fail because of maintenance problems. If you "decided to change field", you might want to become a professional programmer.
So if you don't want to get frustrated after years of learning by doing and from books, I suggest to go to some courses at least.
Edit: As an example: I know people who still are misusing object oriented concepts after three years of studing computer science and a few years of practice. These are the basics, not the special technologies like WCF, WPF etc. It's a long road. Don't make it by foot.

A: I would like to recommend "Watch n Learn" method :)
Watch some videos and start coding...
"How Do I?" Videos for Visual C#
"New to Development"
"Visual C# Developer Center"
Read only if you stuck at any point...
Happy Coding ... n learning...

A: Why are you jumping into the deep end?
Granted everyone has a different rate of learning, if we put this to one side for a moment.
We still have to learn certain things in a particular order.
Its like trying to understand how a car engine works without first understanding what a car is.
In much the same way, you have to progress your conceptual ideas towards programming enlightenment.
Start off small, then solve more and more complex puzzles as you get better. Also sometimes go back and re-solve things in a better way if you have learnt something new..

A: Start by programming data structures by looking at high-level design specifications...not very formal but like a wikipedia article. There are tons of open source examples that you can take a look at but I would do that after you've coded it yourself.
Start with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_tree
In my opinion this is the best exercise to reinforce good OO concepts before moving on to design patterns (Gang of Four). You'll soon see patterns that all technologies and frameworks implement. Also, if you learn data structures and their associated algos then you'll be good for about 40% of the CS GRE :D
After this I would take Vitor Py's suggestion and make a couple of simple projects for yourself with a clear goal in each case and finish them. And lastly, look at lots of opensource projects that are widely used. You'll notice what are the best naming conventions, indentation styles, where to comment and general coding guidelines that teams tend to work better with.
Hope this helps!

A: You can use what you already learned with a simple project that interact with the user and do a calculation. That way you won't have to use a database.
In university we never used a DB in any course except the one on SQL. I know it's hard to figure out now because in a real working world almost every application has a database.
Try to do a simple apps, like I just did for my wife that needed to enter a amount and then have taxes calculated for her.
Also if you're able to read french, here is the best lab tutorial I've ever seen.
It start out small with a console output and finish with a complete web application with a 3-tier layer.
link text

A: Yes just start coding.  Think of things you would want or simple games that you would like to do and research and trial and error till you get somewhere on it, even if you don't finish you will learn.  I would image that that book has some code snippets in there you can try out and play with as well.
Also check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx right at the top they just put up some videos (click the desktop icon at the top) that are really good. You can search on there to find lots of info and also if you scroll down and click on Beginner Developer Learning Center there are lots of great videos in there as well.
Something else you might want to check out is an article in http://hackermonthly.com/hackermonthly-issue1-revised.pdf called "2 Steps to Becoming a Great
Developer."
Oh and this isn't C# but C++, but it will get you understanding the basic concepts of object oriented programing.  http://www.youtube.com/user/antirtfm?blend=1&ob=4  These videos are great and the guy who made them put a lot of time into them.

A: For best results, Practice the Concepts with the examples given in the book. Once you find the essence of those concepts then you need to Implement them in your Project.
If you are strong at the fundamentals, then you can easily digest the Advanced concepts like WCF, WPF etc..
SO FIRST  start practicing the Fundamentals... with the given examples from which you will learn more about the Visual Studio Tool, C# Syntaxes, Common errors, how to resolve the occurred issues.

A: If you are changing career then you should attempt to get funded by your current employer for training. Alternatively, try to get enrolled on an evening part-time course in a local college that offers programming modules.
If, in your current role, there is scope for you to automate some daily tasks through writing some small apps / scripts / VBA+Access(oh the horror) then go for it. I would then try to get into a team as a junior programmer where you can be mentored and learn how to program enterprise-quality code and learn about all the "other" stuff that goes along with programming  such as design, testing, deployment, builds, shipping, debugging etc. Then, after a couple of years, you could move on to a position as a software developer / programmer. Throughout the journey, all the books and videos suggested will help you along and improve your skills, improving along the way.
It's a funny industry really. It's a science and an engineering discipline and an art-form and anyone can call themselves a developer/programmer with no formal qualifications. Some of the worst programmers I've ever come across have BSc and MSc in Computer Science. Strange, strange industry...

A: When I am learning a new language I always do some of the problems at http://projecteuler.net/[Project Euler][1] this helps to make sure you understand the basic logic behind the language, and as it you can solve them using console apps you don't have to worry about a UI

A: I suggest you to start reading CLR via C# - Jeffrey Richter. I bet there's no other author who explains .NET better. There are quite a few samples in the book you can give a try.
Since you say you're a novice ... then Head First C# would also be a suggested reading
Regards


Root and fruit, savory and sweet, enjoy apples and onions together in autumn recipes, and learn about growing onions from sets, how to overwinter onions, and all about caring for apple trees.
Apples and onions bring the sweet and savory to fall.
Mulch around young apple trees with hay or straw, and let it decompose to add fertility.
Start onions inside, four seeds per soil block, and then transplant them outside in clusters.
After their tops flop over, pull and lay onions out in the garden bed to dry in the sun.
They're both essential autumn crops that you can store in winter. One grows half-buried in the soil; the other hangs from one of Mother Nature's most picturesque trees. And within their respective categories, apples and onions each hold a position of importance — no cook should ever be without them.
As shoppers, we know that varieties of onions come in several colors: red ones sweet and mild, white-skinned ones with a bit more bite, and tan ones super-flavorful. As a gardener, you learn other distinctions, too. In the South, where summer days are shorter, people grow "short-day" varieties of onions that can form bulbs as soon as there are 10 to 12 hours of daylight. Northerners grow "long-day" varieties of onions, suitable for a colder climate and 14- to 16-hour summer days. Vidalia, Georgia, gave a name to super-sweet onions, thanks to its low-sulfur soil; however, the short-day cultivar that many folks grow is 'Yellow Granex.' 'Walla Walla Sweet' is a cold-hardy long-day onion from Walla Walla, Washington, an intrinsically sweet cultivar bred for size, mildness, and juiciness.
Onions are also classified by timing and use, an important matter for the gardener-cook. With some planning, you can eat homegrown onions year-round, planting in spring for storage onions and in late summer for overwintered ones. The simplest way to plant onions is growing onions from sets; just pop them into fertile soil, 3 to 4 inches apart in a row. But growing onions from sets offers you little choice of cultivar, and these often aren't in the best shape after sitting on garden-center shelves, so at our farm in Maine, we grow all our onions from seed, starting onion seeds ahead in compressed soil blocks, four seeds per block. We begin stating onions seeds in March for our main-season crop and in late August for the overwintering onions.
You can protect your overwintering onions under low tunnels made of translucent plastic film stretched over hoops of electrical conduit. 'Walla Walla Sweet' is great for this purpose, but for us, a cultivar called 'Bridger' does even better. We start using them as soon as lovely, succulent bulbs form in late spring, just as the stored ones have become unusable. The low-tunnel onions will keep until the main crop is ready in fall.
By early August, the main-season plants' tops flop over, which means it's time to pull them and lay them in the bed, foliage intact, to dry in the sun. After that, move them to a dry surface, under cover, to begin curing — a step that will extend their storage life. From there, store them in a cool, dark, dry room, not a moist cellar.
In the kitchen, a little raw onion goes a long way — in salad, in salsa, on a burger — but with cooked onions, the more the better. I add them to zucchini for personality, and to brassicas, such as kale, for sweetness. Even turnip greens taste great sautéed with onions. Few foods caramelize as deliciously as onions do, especially when butter is involved. Look what they do to hash browns! Consider the almost-meaty intensity of onion soup. In fact, what's any soup or stew without onions? Even onions by themselves are great, sliced in half at the waist, topped with a pat of butter and pinch of thyme, and baked until tender. The only un-wonderful thing about onions is the stinging and weeping they inflict on your eyes when you handle them. Hold them under a faucet while peeling, and you'll have won half the battle.
If I could grow just one tree, it would be an apple tree — two of them, actually, paired for surefire pollination. The right cultivars will give you a lifetime of use, and each part of the country has specific apple varieties that thrive there. For us, on the coast of Maine, the winners are 'Golden Russet' and 'Northern Spy.' Even in states that are warmer than classic apple country, you can choose apple varieties with a low chilling requirement. Consult your extension service or a local expert. See what your neighbors grow. Visit pick-your-own orchards, taste the apples, and talk with the owners.
Caring for apple trees is an art, but several simple actions can help them succeed. Protect young trees from mice, voles, and borers by encircling them in collars of aluminum screen, stapled together along one edge. Prune them yearly, preferably while dormant, by removing dead or damaged wood and by lopping off the unproductive "water sprouts" that grow straight upward from horizontal branches. Eliminate branches that cross or rub one another, as well as any that grow inward toward the trunk. The goal is to open up the center of the tree to sun and air. Sustain nectar-rich flowers, such as mint and asters, that support pollinating insects and natural predators. Avoid toxic sprays and dusts. Mulch the ground under the trees with hay or straw, and let it decompose there for extra fertility.
Early-bearing apple varieties, such as 'Summer Rambo,' are great for late summer pies. But the types I prize most are excellent keepers, such as my 'Golden Russets,' which provide homegrown fruits at a time when only imported ones are for sale. Turn them into pies, tarts, cakes, crisps, and cobblers — but apples aren't just for dessert. My favorite savory uses for them include chicken soup with apples, curry with apples, salad with apples, and bread toasted under the broiler with apples and cheese on top. And over a lifetime partnership with my trees, I will no doubt come up with many more.
