There was a shed break in Bere Regis on Sunday night / Monday morning but thankfully the owners had an alarm and the offenders were scared off before they could steal anything.
A shed break may not sound like the biggest crime in the world but they can incur quite a large financial loss, so it is worth taking some simple precautions such as security marking your property and fitting adequate locks.
If you would like additional crime prevention advice please contact your local Neighbourhood Policing Team via the force website or by calling 101.


A look at one of the modern world's most dominant and compelling art forms, this book would not be complete without covering comedy's dark side. Homing in on the scandals that have surrounded some of light entertainment's biggest stars, the book tells it as it is, featuring quotes from those that were there at the time. It reveals how the devoted laughter of fans never seemed to be enough for these moody, prickly, ego-driven entertainers, how they would constantly seek more thrills when the curtain came down, how offstage antics of certain comedians would make even rock stars blush, and the number of comedians who have had to deal with paternity suits would make a book in itself. This book addresses the question Are comedians naturally dysfunctional, or does the stress and pressure of the job make them dysfunctional? It takes a particularly odd person to want to pursue comedy as a career, and, as this book reveals, the behavior of comedians once they are successful in their chosen career makes them even odder. From Russell Brand slashing his chest onstage to Jo Brand trashing a friend's car on the motorway, Bruce Dessau has heard it all.
Bruce Dessau is a respected comedy journalists who contributes to many publications including the Guardian, the Evening Standard, and Time Out. He is the author of Rowan Atkinson, has chaired the Edinburgh Comedy Awards panel twice, and has regularly served on the judging committee.

Line 3 of the Dalian Metro (R3; )  is a rapid transit line running from southwest to northwest Dalian. It was opened on the 8 November 2002. This line is  long with 12 stations.

Line 3 is almost completely at grade or above ground;  is elevated,  is underground and  is at grade. Six stations are elevated, and the remainder are at grade. Transfers to trams and trains are possible at the Dalian Railway Station.

The northern area of the city, where the Economic and Technology Development Zone is located, is not well-served by buses. The metro line beginning at the downtown commercial center (near the Dalian railway station) runs through five administrative districts of the city and serves as an express transport between the northern (developing) region and the downtown area. The line extends northward to Golden Pebble Beach (Jinshitan Scenic Area), a national scenic park  from the city center. The Jiuli branch route was opened on 28 December 2008. The branch route connects central Dalian with Jinzhou District (金州区) with fourteen stations from south to north. The branch begins at Dalian Development Area station and stretches northwest ending at Jiuli station.

All stations have side platforms. Tracks in the platform area have no ballast (gravel); however, tracks outside the station are on ballast. All stations are covered by a combination of transparent corrugated sheets and a concrete roof.

In October 2017, most station names were re-translated from Pinyin into conventional English.

Since 18 November 2021, operation schedule of the branch section has changed to only Dalian Development Area - Jiuli, branch trains no longer run through Dalian Railway station, to allow testing of trains of line 13, and through trains between line 3 branch and line 13.

Q: Nginx unable to resolve IP Addresse set using lua plugin I have setup nginx as a proxy server. It should basically forward the HTTP URL to particular IP address. The following is my configuration
worker_processes  1;
error_log logs/error.log;
events {
    worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
server {
        listen 8080;
        location ~ ^/db/([-_a-zA-Z0-9/]+)/series {
set $token $1 ;
            set $upstream1 " ";
            content_by_lua 'length = string.len(ngx.var.token)
                if length < 8 then
                    ngx.say("Invalid token (less than 8 characters)")
                    return
                end
                local count = 0
                for i=1,8 do
                    count = count + string.byte(ngx.var.token,i)
                end
              in_server = {
                    [0] = "10.0.0.1:8086",
                    [1] = "10.0.0.2:8086",
                    [2] = "10.0.0.3:8086",
                    [3] = "10.0.0.4:8086",
                    [4] = "10.0.0.5:8086",
                    [5] = "10.0.0.6:8086",
                    [6] = "10.0.0.7:8086",
                    [7] = "10.0.0.8:8086"
            }
            ngx.var.upstream1 = in_server[count%7]
';
            proxy_pass http://$upstream1;
        }

    }
}

The upstream variable is set to an IP address based on the type of token.  The logic is sound, I have tested in lua separately. But everytime I query nginx server , I get the following error :
2016/05/09 17:20:20 [error] 32680#0: *1 no resolver defined to resolve  , client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET /db/rustytoken/series?&q=select%20%2A%20from%20foo%20limit%201 HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080"

I am not sure, why does it need a resolver If am sending a direct IP Address. Anyways, I added the following in location directive
resolver 127.0.0.1

And installed dnsmasq to resolve domain names. It still couldnt. I get the following error instead.
2016/05/09 17:14:22 [error] 32030#0: *1   could not be resolved (3: Host not found), client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "GET /db/rustytoken/series?q=select%20%2A%20from%20foo%20limit%201 HTTP/1.1", host: "localhost:8080"

A: You should use "rewrite_by_lua" instead of "content_by_lua"
because you set $upstream1 " " , so you have to rewrite it.

A: You shoud use https://github.com/openresty/lua-nginx-module#balancer_by_lua_block
instead of content_by_lua.
See some examples here https://github.com/openresty/lua-resty-core/blob/master/lib/ngx/balancer.md
Nginx config is not executed linearly.
Here is the best tutorial I know - http://openresty.org/download/agentzh-nginx-tutorials-en.html
Update
Another possible solution:
set_by_lua_block $upstream1 {
       length = string.len(ngx.var.token)
       if length < 8 then
             -- cannot use this API here, you should add error processing
             --ngx.say("Invalid token (less than 8 characters)")
             return
       end
       local count = 0
       for i=1,8 do
            count = count + string.byte(ngx.var.token,i)
       end
       in_server = {
            [0] = "10.0.0.1:8086",
            [1] = "10.0.0.2:8086",
            [2] = "10.0.0.3:8086",
            [3] = "10.0.0.4:8086",
            [4] = "10.0.0.5:8086",
            [5] = "10.0.0.6:8086",
            [6] = "10.0.0.7:8086",
            [7] = "10.0.0.8:8086"
       }
       return in_server[count%7]
}

An auto service chain is driving business forward in Warwick with the acquisition of a new autocentre in the town.
Commercial property agents Harris Lamb snapped up the former First Stop tyre fitting and auto servicing unit on Emscote Road on behalf of Mr Tyre Ltd, having been tasked with identifying a suitable site within the region.
Neil Harris, Director at Harris Lamb, said: "We have been working with the chain to identify a suitable location in the Warwick and Stratford area for some time, so when this opportunity came to the market, we acted very quickly on to secure it.
"The 6,000 sq ft site was already used for the tyre fitting and auto servicing, meaning that minimal fit-out is required, and having negotiated a ten-year lease on behalf of Mr Tyre, the business is now in occupation of the premises.
"Mr Tyre is a real Midlands success story, starting out as a single garage in Sutton Coldfield in 1971. Over the past few decades, it has developed to become a respected independent chain with 35 depots reaching as far north as Farnworth and to Worcester in the south, and we're delighted to have helped it acquire its 36th branch," he added.


If you're in a service business, you know how important it is to have a steady supply of new customers. The Internet has opened up a whole new world of lead generation, allowing companies to set up systems that will deliver a constant stream of highly-targeted prospects.
Rather than generating leads through a traditional outbound marketing campaign, the Internet offers the ability to intercept people who have already made the decision to purchase but have not yet selected a vendor. These "organic" leads tend to have a significantly higher conversion rate.
We maintain a number of lead generation sites in a variety of vertical markets and geographic areas. We make those leads available on a shared or exclusive cost-per-lead basis. We're actively expanding our exposure in this area, so please contact us if your business can benefit from a stable source of high-quality targeted leads.
If you prefer to set up your own lead generation site, we can help you with that too.

Depending on your age, the thought of retirement may or may not have crossed your mind but I think it's an important topic to discuss whether you are 23 or 53. Northwestern Mutual's 2018 Planning and Progress Report conducted a survey on what Americans have saved for retirement and found that a third of the repondents had less than $5000.00 set aside, and the average saved was $84,821.00. On top of that 46% of adults don't have any plans to prepare for the likelihood of them ouliving their savings! Looking at the image below, where do you fall in the scale?
If Northwestern's findings have motivated you to ask what can be done to help, I believe home ownership can be a good option depending on housing costs where you live. Every 3 years the Federal Reserve conducts a Study on Consumer Finances (SCF) and the latest report recently released shows that the average networth of a home owner is now 44x ($231,500.00) that of a renter. ($5,500.00).
Building equity in your home is a way of forced savings that can be available for any emergencies or unexpected expenses. Home owners also have the advantage of any price appreciation since the time the home was bought. A tax deduction may be another benefit for those that itemize, and for those so inclined a home may also be incoming producing by getting a roommate.
The other good thing to know about home ownership is that free help is available in the form of low down payment loans and home buyer grants. Buying a home is easier than many people think and with all the benefits it provides it makes sense to explore this option as the foundation to help build your networth and boost your retirement.

Ok- obviously not art related at all, but I've looked all over the internet and couldn't find anything helpful so I thought it might be useful information to put out there.
As some of you know, we are using the car crash as a cue and trying out life without owning a car. Unfortunately, we are not people who don't need a car at all and so we have been using City Car Share as well as renting cars about 3 days a month. We're also renting a car for 5 weeks to drive to and around Utah.
So- 5 weeks of buying insurance at $13 a day is a lot. What other options are out there, you ask? Well, there are Named Non-Owner policies. These policies are for people who drive either rentals or other people's cars. It is an insurance plan for the person, not the car. However, you can only do this for cars that you do not own.
Need to prove you're right? Check the internet.
We've all had the moment of having an argument and going to the internet to prove (or disprove) your theory. Oliver's made a quick solution for every situation or discussion. Argument over. The internet has proved your point.
Want your full name? Just use a period for every space.
If it seemed at all confusing before, with periods and no periods, Oliver's made it easier. Now just go to http://istotallyright.com/ and there is a little form to fill out and it will make you the link as you fill in the form. Click the link and you are good to go.
Welcome to a new day for optimism.
The end of the year is always crazy- holidays, getting sick, and a TPG release. But for some reason, this year it seemed even crazier. Maybe in part because our car was totalled by a drug-crazed lunatic, we did a show in LA and we were leaving for the holidays even earlier than normal. When we got to my parents house, we got crazy sick, but in the end had a long, forced rest that we badly needed.
And now it is a new year!
*Another year of making great projects happen! TPG9 already in the works!
*We're taking the car crash as a cue and testing out life without owning a car.
*We are going to let more people know about TPG. One way or another. We love this project- it needs to be able to sustain.
*Finish some projects and organize our life.
*Perhaps we will unveil our next level of TPG projects. TBD.
To all those whom have submitted this round, we are very sorry that we haven't fulfilled our promise to make our decision by the end of October. We will be working on it this week and will get back to you soon. Thank you for your patience. We've had some life events pop up that have postponed our decision.
While I couldn't do too much sitting when I hurt my back, I could do some standing activities. So I made fig-plum jam and have ever since been enjoying this tasty treat: blue cheese and warmed fig-plum jam on crackers. I know this isn't really in the spirit of this blog, but I love this so much, I thought I would share.

For the fourth time in as many years, a group owned by a trio of Montreal businessmen has appealed to the CRTC for an extension on their deadline to launch a new AM radio station, claiming that unforeseen circumstances have caused delays but assuring the commission that they've been resolved and the station is months away from launch.
On Wednesday, the CRTC announced that it will grant an extension, until June 30, 2017, to 7954689 Canada Inc. (TTP Media) to launch its English talk radio station at 600 AM, first authorized in 2012.
As it did with the 940 AM station a year ago, the extension was granted despite the previous extension being declared "final" by the commission. Though the previous extensions, despite being requested for only a few months, were given for a full year, this one is limited to June 30, after the group said it should have the station on air by June.
This is the first official communication from the otherwise very quiet group for a year now, so we have some information on what is causing the delays, and what their short-term plans are.
The bigger issue has related to the transmitter itself. The group finally came to an agreement with Cogeco Media to buy all the assets of the former CINW 940 and CINF 690 transmitter site in Kahnawake, and signed a new lease with the land owner, Frances Montour. The details of the lease are redacted, but it appears to go until 2022, with clauses for renewal beyond that.
It didn't take long after the agreements were signed in late September and early October for the 940 transmitter to be brought back to life, at first to do on-site testing, antenna tuning and impedance matching, and later full on-air testing.
You'll notice the station refers to itself as "La superstation". Time will tell if it lives up to that tagline.
For the English station at 600, there's more work needed than turning the switch back on and transmitting again. The towers that were set to work at 690 have to be re-tuned for 600, and the transmitter itself needs to be sent to the factory to be reset to the new frequency. On top of it all, parts for AM transmitters aren't as easy to find as they used to be, and nowadays must be custom made, which causes more delays.
Concernant la station AM 600KHz, l'envergure des travaux techniques est beaucoup plus complexe. Celle-ci sise e?galement dans les anciennes infrastructures de Cogeco Me?dia Inc. ope?rant a? la fre?quence 690KHz. Par contre, un changement de fre?quence est requis afin de diffuser a? la fre?quence 600KHz. Ces changements touchent l'essence me?me du site de diffusion. L'e?metteur doit e?tre partiellement re?-expe?die? a? l'usine afin d'e?tre re-synthonise? a? la nouvelle fre?quence. Le syste?me de phasage doit comple?tement e?tre redessine? afin de diffuser a? la nouvelle fre?quence d'ope?ration. De plus, ces deux stations (600 & 940) coexistent sur le me?me site de diffusion. Ce qui entraine des complexite?s supple?mentaires quant a? la conception du syste?me.
Afin de proce?der aux diffe?rentes modifications du syste?me de diffusion de la station AM 600Khz, nous avons contacte? diffe?rents manufacturiers. Base? sur les re?ponses des soumissions obtenues, il semblerait que certains manufacturiers ont de la difficulte? a? obtenir les pie?ces requises pour effectuer la conversion dans les de?lais prescrits.
Je vous confirme cependant que les travaux sont de?ja? entame?s et que la conception est pratiquement termine?e. Par contre, la rarete? des pie?ces d'e?quipement AM est une re?alite? de nos jours. Les pie?ces sont maintenant faites sur demande et les de?lais de livraison sont beaucoup plus longs que par le passe?. Il est assez fre?quent de rencontrer des de?lais de livraison de 12 a? 16 semaines.
Suite aux informations cite?es pre?ce?demment, nous estimons qu'il sera possible d'effectuer les modifications du syste?me de diffusion du 600KHz seulement au printemps 2017. Nous demandons donc une extension de la date de mise en service jusqu'au 30 juin 2017.
The application makes no mention of administrative or on-air aspects of either stations, including launch dates, on-air talent or studio location. So we'll just have to continue to wait.
The CRTC has very little to lose by granting an extension. For the most part few (if any) groups are interested in operating in the AM band anymore, so there is no real huge lineup behind these guys to snap up the license and do something with it. If TTP happen to get things done in time and put a station on the air, it would be a big deal for the CRTC. Big AM Launches are pretty much a thing of the past these days.
The CRTC has also set the bar extremely low (scant mm off the floor) when it comes to the definition of "launched". The current 940 is launched pretty much as I suggested, a computer in a room somewhere playing fully automated whatever. Even that happened pretty solidly after the deadline, but the CRTC doesn't seem to care. Getting station actually on the air on AM seems so rare that they are willing to toss the rule book out the window and smile while doing it.
Getting station actually on the air on AM seems so rare that they are willing to toss the rule book out the window and smile while doing it.
There aren't any rules to toss out the window in this case. The standard conditions of licence for commercial AM radio stations don't have a minimum requirement for local programming, nor did the commission impose one as a condition of licence for that station, though the decision notes a "commitment" to 100% local programming. Assuming TTP Media meets that commitment when it unofficially launches and through the rest of its (now much shorter) licence term, it probably won't be an issue at renewal.
The basic rules of "you must be on the air by this date or lose the license" has been tossed out… TTP seem to be the masters of extensions more than anything, and considering they let one license lapse, it seems pretty surprising that the commission would continue to grant them extension after extension on the other ones.
If there were no rules to toss out, anyone could just set up an AM transmitter and blast away.
That's pretty much the case now. FM stations have stricter conditions of licence, but for a commercial AM station you can do just about anything you want programming-wise.
They're running commercials now. We heard some this afternoon.
The equipment at the CFNV site is a Nautel solid state transmitter and not some crusty old equipment that you allege.
Put a name behind your comment if you want to be taken seriously.
I hope the French station will not be like the late 91,9 fm. We want a real alternative radio. Because 98,5 fm is very boring and soft.
What's going on on this station we only listen to music, no talk radio!!!!!
Well we are like close here to launch date or some sort of on air testing by June 30!
Still any news of anything, studio location, poaching of personalities, hiring somebody to run 940?
A real mystery or maybe keeping the competition guessing and on their feet..??
Media Man : I hope, because there is an ad on their website that seems to say that will be an Talk-radio (opinion). But what personality could face Paul Arcand? I hope they will hire young radio host. Because Paul Arcand became very very soft.
Prediction: 600 will sign-on the week prior to June 30 with English-language 80s-90s music and will remain that way for as long as needed until they have their ducks in a row, if ever.
I think that by "ducks in a row" it's more like "until a buyer is found". I think TTP is hoping that one of the major players that isn't in Montreal may come along and want to get in the easy way. They will have two built stations ready to go with no legacy programming.

That would be a pretty stupid business model. And the CRTC likely wouldn't accept such a sale since it would go against its licence trafficking policy.
According to Industry Canada, the station now has a call sign: CFQR (the former call letters, from 1966 to 2011, for 92.5, now CKBE-FM).
Nice..although I was hoping they could get the old CFCF calls.
I was hoping they could get the old CFCF calls.
– CIQC is used by an FM radio station in B.C.
CINW and CINF are still available, though.
I thought CFCF-DT and CFCF were separate calls. As would CFCF-FM (which CFQR originally was).
CFCF 600 broke off from CFCF-12 in the late 80's. It became CIQC in fall 1991.
So that means a radio station can't use a call sign if a tv station has it in Canada? I thought they could, but I guess I was wrong. I'm not sure they'd want the CINW or CINF calls…although it would have been interesting to see that used for 940 again.
So that means a radio station can't use a call sign if a tv station has it in Canada?
Generally, yes. There are exceptions, mainly grandfathered cases where the two stations once had common ownership.
Interesting turn of events with the call sign news. Does this mean testing to start soon and then on air like 940 is doing now.
But how soon after will the news talk programming start, staff hiring and /or poaching of big names, studio location..
Right now it's a laptop out of a back office..


Let's Encrypt makes it easy for any website owner to obtain a free, valid SSL certificate.
apache: Authenticate using Apache web server.
nginx: Authenticate using Nginx web server.
webroot: Authenticate by writing to root dir of a running web server.
standalone: Authenticate using a standalone web server.
Personally, I found the most useful authenticator is standalone. It doesn't require Apache or Nginx being installed. Nor does it touch webroot of existing web servers. It also facilitates cert renewal because the standalone web server configuration is unlikely to change.
If you specify multiple domains, then all of them will be included in the cert.
When configuring web server, use fullchain (not cert) as the cert and privkey as the private key.
After revoking a cert, certbot will ask whether also delete it. Usually you should choose Yes.
The certbot documentation is here.
It's relatively easy to understand how it works. The agent generates a key-pair, sends the public key to Let's Encrypt CA. It then proves to Let's Encrypt CA that it owns the domain and the private key by accepting challenges from the CA.
Now the agent has an authorized key-pair. Requesting, renewing and revoking certificates are simple.
Finally, it's worth noting that: certs from Let's Encrypt are only valid for 3 months. Thus the website owner needs to renew it regularly to keep them valid.


Mathematically gifted students have needs that differ in nature from those of other students. They require some differentiated instruction, defined by Tomlinson (1995) as "consistently using a variety of instructional approaches to modify content, process, and/or products in response to learning readiness and interest of academically diverse students." Yet recent studies have found few instructional or curricular modifications in regular elementary classrooms (Archambault et al., 1993; Westberg, Archambault, Dobyns & Salvin, 1993). In grades 9-12, students may be able to select honors, advanced, and AP courses; however, even in these more homogeneously grouped classes there is a range of differences that need to be acknowledged.
Why should we do anything different for mathematically gifted students?
Gifted students differ from their classmates in three key areas that are especially important in mathematics. These are summarized in the table below.
1. Pace at which they learn 1. The sequential nature of math content makes pacing an issue.
2. Depth of their understanding 2. Deeper levels of understanding and abstraction are possible for most mathematical topics, so differentiation becomes important.
3. Interests that they hold (Maker, 1982) 3. If the interest is snuffed out early, the talent may not be developed.
Mathematically gifted students differ from the general group of students studying math in the following abilities: spontaneous formation of problems, flexibility in handling data, mental agility of fluency of ideas, data organization ability, originality of interpretation, ability to transfer ideas, and ability to generalize (Greenes, 1981). No list of characteristics of the mathematically gifted includes "computational proficiency," and yet at levels prior to Algebra I, this is commonly used as the criterion that determines who gets to move on to more interesting material. Furthermore, there is a myth that gifted students don't need special attention since it is easy for them to learn what they need to know. On the contrary, their needs dictate curriculum that is deeper, broader, and faster than what is delivered to other students.
Mathematics can be the gatekeeper for many areas of advanced study. In particular, few gifted girls recognize that most college majors leading to high level careers and professions require four years of high school math and science (Kerr, 1997). Students may drop out of math courses or turn toward other fields of interest if they experience too much repetition, not enough depth, or boredom due to slow pacing.
An Agenda for Action: Recommendations for School Mathematics of the 1980s (NCTM, 1989, p. 18) says, "the student most neglected, in terms of realizing full potential, is the gifted student of mathematics. Outstanding mathematical ability is a precious societal resource, sorely needed to maintain leadership in a technological world." By 1995, when the NCTM created a Task Force on the Mathematically Promising, not much had changed (Sheffield et al., 1995).
What do the Curriculum Standards of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) say we should do about mathematically gifted students?
The NCTM Standards do not mention gifted students explicitly but recognize that students are not all the same. For all students, the Standards place a greater emphasis on areas that traditionally have been emphasized for the gifted. All students are now expected to complete a core curriculum that has shifted its emphasis away from computation and routine problem practice toward reasoning, real-world problem solving, communication, and connections. "The Standards propose that all students be guaranteed equal access to the same curricular topics; it does not suggest that all students should explore the content to the same depth or at the same level of formalism" (NCTM, 1989, p. 131). At the high school level, additional topics are suggested for "college-intending" students. The Report of the Task Force on the Mathematically Promising recognizes that there are special issues relating to the education of the mathematically promising student (Sheffield et al., 1995) and has made recommendations that include the development of new curricular standards, programs, and materials that encourage and challenge the mathematically promising.
What should be done to differentiate curriculum, instruction and assessment for the mathematically gifted in the regular classroom?
Historically there has been debate about the role of acceleration versus enrichment as the differentiation mode for mathematics. Most experts recommend a combination. The following are suggestions for differentiating for the mathematically gifted by using (1) assessment, (2) curriculum materials, (2) instructional techniques, and (4) grouping models. These opportunities should be made broadly available to any student with interest in taking advantage of them.
Give pre-assessments so that students who already know the material do not have to repeat it but may be provided with instruction and activities that are meaningful. In the elementary grades, gifted learners still need to know their basic facts. If they do not, don't hold them back from other more complex tasks, but continue to work concurrently on the basics.
Create assessments that allow for differences in understanding, creativity, and accomplishment; give students a chance to show what they have learned. Ask students to explain their reasoning both orally and in writing.
Choose textbooks that provide more enriched opportunities. Unfortunately, curriculum in this country is mainly driven by textbooks, which are used about 80% of the time (Lockwood, 1992). Math textbooks often repeat topics from year to year in the grades prior to algebra. Since most textbooks are written for the general population, they are not always appropriate for the gifted. Several series that hold promise for gifted learners have been developed recently under grants from the National Science Foundation; they emphasize constructivist learning and include concepts beyond the basics.
Use multiple resources. No single text will adequately meet the needs of these learners.
Be flexible in your expectations about pacing for different students. While some may be mastering basic skills, others may work on more advanced problems.
Use inquiry-based, discovery learning approaches that emphasize open-ended problems with multiple solutions or multiple paths to solutions. Allow students to design their own ways to find the answers to complex questions. Gifted students may discover more than you thought was possible.
Use lots of higher-level questions in justification and discussion of problems. Ask "why" and "what if" questions.
Provide units, activities, or problems that extend beyond the normal curriculum. Offer challenging mathematical recreations such as puzzles and games.
Provide AP level courses in calculus, statistics, and computer science or encourage prepared students to take classes at local colleges if the supply of courses at the high school has been exhausted.
Differentiate assignments. It is not appropriate to give more problems of the same type to gifted students. You might give students a choice of a regular assignment; a different, more challenging one; or a task that is tailored to interests.
Expect high level products (e.g., writing, proofs, projects, solutions to challenging problems).
Provide opportunities to participate in contests such as Mathematical Olympiads for the Elementary School (grades 4-6), Math Counts (grades 7-8), and the American Junior High School Mathematics Exam (grades 7-8) or the American High School Mathematics Exam (grades 9-12). Give feedback to students on their solutions. After the contests, use some of the problems as the basis for classroom discussions.
Provide access to male and female mentors who represent diverse linguistic and cultural groups. They may be within the school system, volunteers from the community, or experts who agree to respond to questions by e-mail. Bring speakers into the classroom to explain how math has opened doors in their professions and careers.
Provide some activities that can be done independently or in groups based on student choice. Be aware that if gifted students always work independently, they are gaining no more than they could do at home. They also need appropriate instruction, interaction with other gifted students, and regular feedback from the teacher.
Provide useful concrete experiences. Even though gifted learners may be capable of abstraction and may move from concrete to abstract more rapidly, they still benefit from the use of manipulatives and "hands-on" activities.
How can technology support the needs of the gifted?
Technology can provide a tool, an inspiration, or an independent learning environment for any student, but for the gifted it is often a means to reach the appropriate depth and breadth of curriculum and advanced product opportunities. Calculators can be used as an exploration tool to solve complex and interesting problems.
Computer programming is a higher level skill that enhances problem solving abilities and promotes careful reasoning and creativity. The use of a database, spreadsheet, graphic calculator, or scientific calculator can facilitate powerful data analysis. The World Wide Web is a vast and exciting source of problems, contests, enrichment, teacher resources, and information about mathematical ideas that are not addressed in textbooks. Technology is an area in which disadvantaged gifted students may be left out because of lack of access or confidence. It is essential that students who do not have access at home get the exposure at school so that they will not fall behind the experiences of other students.
What is the responsibility of schools and teachers in developing giftedness in mathematics?
Classroom teachers and school districts share the responsibility of addressing the needs of gifted students.
Teachers need training and support in recognizing and addressing the needs of the mathematically gifted.
Teachers who teach mathematics to gifted learners need a strong background in mathematics content. If the school has only a few students with special needs and does not have such a teacher, a mentor from outside the school should be located to work with individuals.
A coordinated curriculum plan needs to be in place so that the mathematical experiences for students are not duplicated or interrupted from one year to the next.
The school should have an organized support system that includes resource books, technology, and human resources.
Regular mathematics classrooms that offer sufficiently challenging and broad experiences for gifted students have the potential to enrich the learning community as a whole since other students will be interested in attempting, perhaps with help, some of the more challenging tasks. If math classes offer diversity in assignments, products, and pacing and monitor student needs, all students will be able to work at their own challenge level.

I think i found the reason. I fixed and will have a look ingame if the problem is fixed. If there are other bugs/problems please tell me. I don't want to reupload one fix after the other.
I do the install right and the menu changes, but when I get in game it is standard battlefront! please help!
As you can see, the RC hud isn't there while the stock one is.
Readme wrote: This Side Mod will also change your menu interface. If you don't like it you can remove it by deleting/renameing/replacing the rcm\data\_LVL_PC\shell\rc_interface_shell.lvl file.
Please notice that some features, such as the HUD, are onyl available on 1920x1080.
I didn't see that, my bad. But maybe you should do it by aspect ratio like Marth's code, that way more people can use the hud.
Strange. I use 1366x768 and the HUD works just fine. I mean I read the readme and was like, "Hmm, I guess I could change the resolution so I could see it." When I got in game, I forgot to change my normal resolution that I use, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference as the custom HUD still showed up for that resolution.
My HUD looks the same. Is that bad?
The big problem are not the hud icons, most resolutions will go with the one from 1920x1080, the problem are the health and energy bar. On every resolution they are displayed a littlebit at an different position. And it looks terrible if the bars are not 100% at the excat positions. I need to have the correct position on 5th value after the ","
I see that this is realy bad for you but it would be a very hard work. You can try to rename the 1920x1080 files to 1024x786. Ot will not work for 4:3 monitors, but maybe it will work on your 16:9 monitor with lower resolution.
Please give me a feedback if this is working on any other resolution than 1920x1080. If so i'll add it to the V1.1.
If it is not working i'd need some experient modders for each resolution to make new ingame (the most important work) and floatingicon fix files.
1366x768 seems to be working, Anakin. I'll confirm it as soon as I can, though, to be sure. I don't wish to give you false information.
best way to find it out is the energy, run untill he cannot anymore. directly after he stops you should see the energybar again. if not it is out of the window. I had this for the health bar a while ago and it was really odd that the healthbar shows no health but i was still alive.
i uploaded the new Version 1.1 to ModDB. Waiting for authorisation now. I already updated the download link on the frontpage. So have a look at modDB.
- Wrist Vibroblade shouldn't have that large of a push value for the dummy explosion. To stagger units, I've found that a Push value of 2.5 and a PushRadius value of 1.5 works perfectly. (Those are the values I use for Incinerate's explosion, which staggers enemy targets perfectly.) Additionally, I feel like either the weapon's fire animation start is delayed by like 0.35 seconds or the weapon has an InitialSalvoDelay of like 0.35. If anything, the InitialSalvoDelay should be like, 0.1 at most probably. Lastly, its ordnance ConeLength value should be significantly decreased, probably to 2.5, and its ConeAngle value should be no greater than 115.
- Electrostaff shouldn't have push values in the combo config - the constant pushing is really irritating. Try changing all of the Push values to 2.5; if it staggers targets, perfect, but elsewise, you should probably just set the values to 0.0 or comment them out.
- The weapon ammo text should be white and its backdrop darkened.
- Each team's ticket count (reinforcements) text should have a dark backdrop.
- ACP Array Gun's fire sound should be louder.
- The load screen tip text backdrop texture should be somewhat darker.
That's all I have to report for now. I'll continue to test and provide feedback later.
Thank you for your report. I added some of the suggestion to my v1.3 ToDo-List.
I noticed that delay, too and it realy disturb me. When changing it, i'll have a look at the other values, too.

I understand completely why you don't want to change it, but you need to do what Pandemic failed to do and begin to consider usability versus original design/visual style. Yes, RC's health backdrop is that color, but in SWBF2, you can't easily see your health without having to really look closely at the health bar. What you should actually do is make the health bar the same color as the bar in RC, so instead of making it light green, you should make it a very bright cyan/white just like in RC. I understand that you like it how it is, but from a graphic design perspective, that shade of desaturated green blends in way too well with that shade of grey, and as such, from a gameplay perspective, the player will have a difficult time quickly doing what should never be difficult in any video game ever: seeing how much health they have. In conclusion, design should always be the highest priority in any video game in almost all cases and you should try to make the effort to put player experience over that of your own.
At the very end of the day, it's ultimately your decision to make, but if you want more players to actually *enjoy* playing your creation, you should take what I said into consideration at the very least. While developing MEU, I cannot begin to state the number of bad design choices that I chose and preferred over better ones. Thankfully, WULF helped force me to see how and why those design choices were bad and then he persuaded me to change them. With every single suggestion, every time I gave in to considering and applying the suggestion and actually tried it out, I preferred the change and kept it, realizing that it was for the better.
The healthbar in RC actually is green, but it's not at this position.
In RC it's the shild bar, and not the healtbar but i decided to not make the healthbar the way it is in RC, because it's very short, and so you cannot see that detailed how much health you lost.
It doesn't have to have three colors; it's easy to make it so it's only one!

What a great round up. I had read about the Dutch fellow but haven't seen most of these others. I'll have to go read more about them. They sound inspiring. What I loved about the Dutch one was proof that one person can make a difference.
I think another way to help kids is to encourage them to stand up and be heard. I have found it very empowering for my boys (and me!). My youngest wrote an impassioned letter to the California Fish & Wildlife asking that trapping of bobcats be banned. Yesterday, it was and he felt like he made a difference. I have also taken them to #NoKXL rallies where my oldest grabbed the microphone and gave an impromptu speech. Next week, one of my boys and I are meeting with our local assemblyman to ask him to vote for the California bill to divest from coal. I hope that these things will let kids see that they can make a difference.
So true! That's awesome your kids are already green activists.


Logos are unique symbols, icons, or marks designed and adopted by a company or organization as a brand representation.
Why are logos vital for marketing?
You may be wondering, why is having a logo so important and how can a picture tell people about your company? First, a logo is a piece of art, and it can be extremely cool. So cool that they have become status symbols, fashion statements, and iconic emblems all over the world. Second, logos are designed to not only be a visual representation but also to tell the story of your brand. Your brand is your company's customer-perceived personality, reputation, quality, and value all wrapped into one. Your logo represents all of those.
You see, human communication is highly visual. In fact, 80% of what we learn and 93% of what we communicate is visual. So, literally, out of sight is out of mind. A well-designed logo allows you to take advantage of our visual dependency—creating a highly-memorable brand representation. And, let's face it, with today's incredibly cluttered communication channels, we must cut through the fog and be seen!
With the right design, strategy, and implementation a logo evolves—symbolizing your brand's story and reputation, giving your organization a face and personality. Connect with your audience with a simple glance, without whispering a word. You see, The beauty of having a great logo is simplicity. It doesn't need sound bites, copy, or video to connect with an audience. They also complement your promotional efforts, giving your audience a visual connection to each of your messages, creating public recognition throughout your marketing campaign, industry, community, and target audience.
At DVS, we take your logo design very seriously. Our creative team is compiled of artists, designers, and marketers who collaboratively design your logo. Together, we not only craft an aesthetically capturing piece of art—we design a logo that represents your brand and speaks to your audience. To do so, we use the following process for each of our designs.
We start by listening; discussing your vision, company, brand and more. The primary objective is to ensure that we have captured the look, feel, and representation you want for your logo.
Next, we research and review your competition and the history of your company. Here we gain an understanding of the tone of your industry so that we can create a unique and suitable design. We also look at your past branding, building upon your previous efforts (sometimes, we decide to start fresh).
Now it's time to let our creativity shine—we come together to discuss and choose several directions to take your design. We use our research and your input to come up with 15 – 20 ideas of what your logo could be.
Time to let the artists work. Our designers go old school, breaking out the pencil and paper hand sketching our ideas into drafts. We then take our best designs and digitize them, seeing how they look on screen, print, and anywhere else you desire.
Here we show and tell; we present our best designs that fit your future marketing efforts. Most importantly, we get your feedback, seeing what you like and do not like about our designs.
We head back to the drawing board, literally, to adjust our designs to your feedback. This process can take 1-5 versions, but we don't stop until we get it just right.
After a few presentations and adjustments, we reach Eureka! You love it, and we have our final design.
Lastly, we provide you with your logo, delivering vector files and a brand guide. We also sit with you one last time, giving you advice and best practices for using your logo throughout your marketing efforts. Of course, we can help with those too.
At DVS, our creative team is a combination of innovative polymaths who design with passion and intelligence. Let us create a logo that represents your brand, speaks with integrity, and connects you to your audience.


I started the MND Clinic at Beaumont Hospital in 1994. The clinic began in collaboration with the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association, and was originally staffed by myself and Bernie Corr, Clinical Nurse Specialist in MND. Since then, the clinic has grown in size. We now have specialists in Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy and Nutrition, and have access to Respiratory Medicine and Palliative Care services. The clinic takes place on the second, fourth and fifth Thursdays of the month, starting at 11.30 and running until around 8.00pm.
Everybody is seen by myself, with one or two Research Fellows in attendance if the patient permits this. We do not have junior house staff in attendance at the clinic. We receive referrals from all over the country, and pride ourselves on having a waiting list of less than 2 weeks. The ethos of the clinic is that while MND is a tragic and life-threatening condition, we must recognize that life is to be enjoyed, and quality of life preserved, regardless of the disability. We believe that visit to the MND clinic should be a positive experience, and our aim is to ensure that everybody who attends leaves the clinic feeling better than when they came in. We value personal interaction, friendship, flexibility and humour.
Anybody with MND is welcome to attend the clinic, once we receive a referral from a general practitioner. We are delighted to see people for a second opinion if the person with MND, their consultant and / or their general practitioner requests this. And as we appreciate that travel to the clinic can be arduous for those living outside of Dublin, we frequently co-manage people with their local neurologists. We also provide home visits by our Specialist Nurse (Bernie Corr) and or Research Fellows, all of whom are carefully chosen experienced doctors with a special interest in MND, a warm and empathic personality, and an understanding of the importance of maintaining the ethos of what we foster.

A huge legal battle awaits producer Dinesh Vijan after he has allegedly refused to share the profits of 2018's surprise hitStree with his co-producers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK(known as Raj-DK) who also happen to be the film's creativehelmers.
A source very close to the development says the battle threatens to get very ugly as Vijan has failed to live up to his contract.
"As per the contract, Dinesh Vijan was supposed to share 50 percent of the profits with Raj-DK , if and when the film became profitable. Stree went on to become far more successful than expected , having earned more than a 100 crores at the Indian boxoffice. Vijyan seems to have got second thoughts over the profit-sharing when he saw the kind of money the film has made," says the source.
According to sources Vijan has not shared any of the Stree profits with his co-producers.
Sources say Raj-DK have a water-tight contact.
"They are surprised how Vijan though he could get away with this. Stree was Raj and DK's project from the start. They created the entire project and brought Rajkummar Rao on board as the lead actor. They would've directed the film themselves if it wasn't for prior commitments. So they put their assistant Amar Kaushik on to the directorial chair. But Raj and DK were on the sets every single day looking into the nitty-gritty," says the source, adding that Dinesh Vijan came into the picture very late.


Father and son fishing: Both hook their first Miami snook!
The Snook bite has remained strong and consistent in the same areas . Tarpon fishing around the many dock lights has been very good will small sub 40 inch fish the norm. The large Beach Tarpon have charged up to the North to Intercept and attack the many bait fish and mullet pods that are coming south around Palm Beach. Today September 26, 2018 I have already heard that the mullet are coming into Port Everglades. So hold on tight because some serious fishing is about to happen!!
We started out looking for the sunset bite on the Snook and it didn't take long. We located the first bunch of Snook on the Lowrance side scan unit and dropped our offering. Almost immediately we had the first hook up and the Snook came boat side just as the sun was starting to set.
Late Summer Monster Snook Frenzy!

Divorce is the method used for couples who are unable to cooperatively negotiate and settle their terms of divorce. Each party hires their own attorney. Typically, grounds for divorce are neglect of duty and/or incompatibility. There are other more serious grounds for divorce. However, the court usually does not give great weight to fault when deciding a divorce settlement.
After the contested divorce is filed, there can be a temporary support hearing. The court will then allow attorneys a period of time to "discover" each party's assets and liabilities. The courts strongly encourage parties to make full, complete and transparent financial disclosure. Typically there are two or three pretrial hearings conducted by the court in order to ensure that each party has made full financial disclosure and then to encourage settlement negotiations. The courts and most attorneys strongly favor negotiated settlements. If the parties are able to come to terms, a settlement agreement or separation agreement will be submitted to the court for approval. At that point, the contested case is generally converted to an uncontested matter, scheduled for hearing, with procedures similar to the end result of a dissolution of marriage. Where the parties are unable to settle, the case can ultimately go to trial.

Q: Incorrect Syntax Near '(' can anybody tell me why the following code produces the error:
cQueryIS = "UPDATE Additional (StaffEUPN, Class, Additional1, Additional2, Additional3, Additional4,AdditionalLarge1, AdditionalLarge2, AdditionalLarge3, AdditionalLarge4)  "

cQueryIS &= "VALUES (@cSTEupn, @cClass, @cAdditional1, @cAdditional2, @cAdditional3, @cAdditional4, @cAdditionalLarge1, @cAdditionalLarge2, @cAdditionalLarge3, @cAdditionalLarge4) "

cQueryIS &= "WHERE StaffEUPN = '" & cStaffEUPN & "' AND Class = '" & cClass & "'"

However this code works:
cQueryIS = "UPDATE Additional SET StaffEUPN=@cSTEupn, Class=@cClass,
Additional1=@cAdditional1, Additional2=@cAdditional2, Additional3=@cAdditional3,
Additional4=@cAdditional4, AdditionalLarge1=@cAdditionalLarge1,
AdditionalLarge2=@cAdditionalLarge2, AdditionalLarge3=@cAdditionalLarge3,
AdditionalLarge4=@cAdditionalLarge4  "

cQueryIS &= "WHERE StaffEUPN = '" & cStaffEUPN & "' AND Class = '"
& cClass & "'"

I am a bit confused as the way I did it first works fine on an INSERT command and only causes the error on an UPDATE.
Here is the rest of the code:
        Using dbConnectionSQL As New SqlConnection(dbConnectionString)
            Using comm As New SqlCommand()
                With comm
                    .Connection = dbConnectionSQL
                    .CommandType = CommandType.Text
                    .CommandText = cQueryIS
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cSTEupn", cStaffEUPN)
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cClass", cClass)
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditional1", ProvisionAdditional(1))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditional2", ProvisionAdditional(2))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditional3", ProvisionAdditional(3))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditional4", ProvisionAdditional(4))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditionalLarge1", ProvisionAdditional(5))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditionalLarge2", ProvisionAdditional(6))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditionalLarge3", ProvisionAdditional(7))
                    .Parameters.AddWithValue("@cAdditionalLarge4", ProvisionAdditional(8))
                End With
                Try
                    dbConnectionSQL.Open()
                    comm.ExecuteNonQuery()
                Catch ex As SqlException
                    WriteToLogFile("Update Additional", ex.Message.ToString())
                    MsgBox("Update Additional - " & ex.Message.ToString())
                    Exit Sub
                End Try
            End Using
        End Using

A: Because in your first example, you're using INSERT syntax on the UPDATE command. In the second sample, you're using correct UPDATE syntax.
The syntax for INSERT and UPDATE are different. You should read the docs, but generally:
INSERT INTO <Table> (Field1, ..., FieldN) VALUES (Value1, ..., ValueN)
vs.
UPDATE <Table> SET Field1 = Value1, ..., FieldN = ValueN WHERE <Condition>

There are some more ways you can use this, but basically that's it.
