This past Thursday evening I attended the Lorne Trottier Public Science Symposium. It's a highfalutin name for either a very important or completely useless question, depending on who you ask. The audience in the package Leacock 132 lecture theatre, I would guess, consider it to be the former.
The universe must be the way it is, and it's just lucky that it supports life at all.
There are an infinite number of universes, so one suitable for humans was bound to show up eventually.
The discussion largely ignored the third option, which was fine by me. As for the first two, though, there were some interesting points made. As many people see this question as being highly controversial, especially with you involve intelligent design, I found the most significant statement of the night to be "There is no controversy, only questions," from Leonard Susskind.
Fine tuning of the universe is a significant part to the problem, and is often used as proof of intelligent design. One of the scientists on the panel (I forget which) made a good analogy to water. We often talk about how if ice were heavier than water (as is the case with most other substances) all the oceans and lakes would be frozen solid and life wouldn't be able to survive here. Whether that's true or not, it's based on the idea that the densities are parameters we could have arbitrarily set. However, now that we have more knowledge of atomic physics than a hundred years ago, we can see that water and ice density is not an arbitrary parameter at all but a consequence of something more fudamental. Thus, it's quite likely that the many arbitrary parameters people point to to claim fine tuning are just manifestations of something deeper that may yet be explained and nothing special at all.
Similarly, one panelist (either Susskind or David Gross) provided an example that two years before the discovery of DNA, someone published a paper proving that there was no way enough information could be coded in a cell to be passed on to create new generations. With a little more understanding this biological miracle isn't so miraculous afterall. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the water molecule analogy is apt here as well, to explain the supposed irreducable complexity of biological systems. Yes, proteins and their functions are incredibly complicated, but it's all just atoms and fundamental forces scrammbled together in chemical reactions. As Douglas Adams said of evolution, "We may never know precisely what steps life took in the very early stages of this planet, but it's not a mystery." No controversy, only questions.
However, I noticed a complete lack of addressing the question of (in the case of number two) where the infinite number of universe came from in the first place, or why, if there is a single unified theory (as implied by number one), it's that particular unified theory and not some other. Well, Paul Davies did address it for a moment, but only to acknowledge the problem — that no matter which position you took there still seemed to be a appeal to something outside the universe.
It actually boils down to the question of why there's something here at all and not nothing. A few weeks ago my dad posited at the dinner table that the most important question people ask themselves is "who am I?" or something of that ilk. My reply to that wasn't a well formed philosophical question and nothing interesting could come from asking it. I still believe that. Interestingly, the response David Gross gave to the question "why is there something and not nothing?" was that it wasn't a well formed physical question and nothing could come from asking it. "What is nothing?" he asked.
Originally, I posed that question as being much more important than simply "who am I?" and it probably is the biggest question there is, in a sense, but I realise that Professor Gross is right in his suggestion that there's no point in thinking about it yet since it is so far outside the realm of what science can say. Perhaps sometime it will be within reach, but not today, and probably not for a long time.

Why the Energy Transition Will Be So Complicated
The degree to which the world depends on oil and gas is not well understood.
By Daniel Yergin
To appreciate the complexities of the competing demands between climate action and the continued need for energy, consider the story of an award—one that the recipient very much did not want and, indeed, did not bother to pick up.
It began when Innovex Downhole Solutions, a Texas-based company that provides technical services to the oil and gas industry, ordered 400 jackets from North Face with its corporate logo. But the iconic outdoor-clothing company refused to fulfill the order. North Face describes itself as a "politically aware" brand that will not share its logo with companies that are in "tobacco, sex (including gentlemen's clubs) and pornography." And as far as North Face is concerned, the oil and gas industry fell into that same category—providing jackets to a company in that industry would go against its values. Such a sale would, it said, be counter to its "goals and commitments surrounding sustainability and environmental protection," which includes a plan to use increasing amounts of recycled and renewable materials in its garments in future years.
But, as it turns out, North Face's business depends not only on people who like the outdoors, but also on oil and gas: At least 90 percent of the materials in its jackets are made from petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas. Moreover, many of its jackets and the materials that go into them are made in countries such as China, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, and then shipped to the United States in vessels that are powered by oil. To muddy matters further, not long before North Face rejected the request, its corporate owner had built a new hangar at a Denver airport for its corporate jets, all of which run on jet fuel. To spotlight the obvious contradiction, the Colorado Oil and Gas Association presented its first ever Customer Appreciation Award to North Face for being "an extraordinary oil and gas customer." That's the award North Face spurned.
Read: Ultra-fast fashion is eating the world
Different people will draw different conclusions from this episode. Central to the response to climate change is the transition from carbon fuels to renewables and hydrogen, augmented by carbon capture. This was highlighted at the historic COP26 climate conference in Glasgow, Scotland, which emphasized the need for urgency and a greater ambition on climate backed by a host of significant initiatives, including carbon markets, and country pledges of carbon neutrality by 2050 or a decade or two thereafter. The North Face story, however, offers a difficult reminder that the energy transition is a whole lot more complicated than may be recognized.
A New Energy Crisis
As if to remind us of the complexities, a most unwelcome guest appeared on the doorstep of the Glasgow conference: an energy crisis that has gripped Europe and Asia. Energy crises traditionally begin with oil, but this recent one has been driven by shortages of coal and liquefied natural gas (LNG). That sent prices spiking, disrupting electricity supplies in China, which then led to the rationing of electricity there, the closing of factories, and further disruptions of the supply chains that send goods to America.
In Europe, the energy shortages were made worse by low wind speeds in the North Sea, which for a time drastically reduced the electricity produced by offshore wind turbines for Britain and Northern Europe. Gas, coal, and power prices shot up—as much as seven times in the case of LNG. Factories, unable to afford the suddenly high energy costs, stopped production, among them plants in Britain and Europe making fertilizers needed for next spring's agricultural season.
Trailing the other fuels, oil prices reached the $80 range. With a tightening balance between supply and demand, some were warning that oil could exceed $100 a barrel. Gasoline prices have hit levels in the United States that alarm politicians, who know that such increases are bad for incumbents. That—along with worsening inflation—is why the Biden administration asked Saudi Arabia and Russia to put more oil into the market, so far to no avail. The administration then announced, on the eve of Thanksgiving, the largest-ever release of oil from the U.S. government's strategic petroleum reserve, in coordination with other countries, to temper prices.
Is this energy shock a one-off resulting from a unique conjunction of circumstances? Or is it the first of what will be several crises resulting from straining too hard to bring 2050 carbon-reduction goals rapidly forward—potentially prematurely choking off investment in hydrocarbons, thus triggering future shocks? If it's a onetime event, then the world will move on in a few months. But if it is followed by further energy shortages, governments could be forced to rethink the timing and approach to their climate goals. The current shock offered just such an example: Although Britain is calling for an end to coal, it was nevertheless forced to restart a mothballed coal-powered plant to help make up for the electricity shortage.
Read: When the climate crisis becomes unignorable
Jean Pisani-Ferry, a French economist and sometime adviser to French President Emmanuel Macron, is among the most prominent voices pointing to the consequences that could result from trying to move too fast. In August, before the current energy crisis began, he warned that going into overdrive on transitioning away from fossil fuels would lead to major economic shocks similar to the oil crises that rocked the global economy in the 1970s. "Policymakers," he wrote, "should get ready for tough choices."
A Different Energy Transition
The term energy transition somehow sounds like it is a well-lubricated slide from one reality to another. In fact, it will be far more complex: Throughout history, energy transitions have been difficult, and this one is even more challenging than any previous shift. In my book The New Map, I peg the beginning of the first energy transition to January 1709, when an English metalworker named Abraham Darby figured out that he could make better iron by using coal rather than wood for heat. But that first transition was hardly swift. The 19th century is known as the "century of coal," but, as the technology scholar Vaclav Smil has noted, not until the beginning of the 20th century did coal actually overtake wood as the world's No. 1 energy source. Moreover, past energy transitions have also been "energy additions"—one source atop another. Oil, discovered in 1859, did not surpass coal as the world's primary energy source until the 1960s, yet today the world uses almost three times as much coal as it did in the '60s.
The coming energy transition is meant to be totally different. Rather than an energy addition, it is supposed to be an almost complete switch from the energy basis of today's $86 trillion world economy, which gets 80 percent of its energy from hydrocarbons. In its place is intended to be a net-carbon-free energy system, albeit one with carbon capture, for what could be a $185 trillion economy in 2050. To do that in less than 30 years—and accomplish much of the change in the next nine—is a very tall order.
Here is where the complexities become clear. Beyond outerwear, the degree to which the world depends on oil and gas is often not understood. It's not just a matter of shifting from gasoline-powered cars to electric ones, which themselves, by the way, are about 20 percent plastic. It's about shifting away from all the other ways we use plastics and other oil and gas derivatives. Plastics are used in wind towers and solar panels, and oil is necessary to lubricate wind turbines. The casing of your cellphone is plastic, and the frames of your glasses likely are too, as well as many of the tools in a hospital operating room. The air frames of the Boeing 787, Airbus A350, and F-35 Joint Strike Fighter jet are all made out of high-strength, petroleum-derived carbon fiber. The number of passenger planes is expected to double in the next two decades. They are also unlikely to fly on batteries.
Oil products have been crucial for dealing with the pandemic too, from protective gear for emergency staff to the lipids that are part of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Have a headache? Acetaminophen—including such brands as Tylenol and Panadol—is a petroleum-derived product. In other words, oil and natural-gas products are deeply embedded throughout modern life.
A New "North–South Divide"?
There's another complexity beyond the technical challenge. Call it a new "North–South divide." The original divide emerged as an economic struggle in the 1970s between the developed countries of the Northern Hemisphere and the developing countries (and former colonies) of the Southern Hemisphere. That was the decade when OPEC burst onto the global scene, with the price of oil very much at the center of the battle. The rancor of that divide was reduced over time with the advance of globalization, the rise of emerging markets, and increased economic integration.
A different divide is beginning to develop today around differing perspectives on how to tackle climate change. It once again pits the developed world against developing countries, but the contours are different. For the developed world, as Glasgow demonstrated, climate is an overwhelming imperative—often described by political leaders as the "existential" question. While also deeply concerned about climate, developing countries face other existential questions as well. In addition to climate, they struggle with recovering from COVID-19, reducing poverty, promoting economic growth, improving health, and maintaining social stability.
For India, it's a question of "energy transitions"—plural—which reflects the fact that its per capita income is only one-tenth that of the United States. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has announced very ambitious goals for wind, solar, and hydrogen, and has set a net-zero target for 2070. Yet at the same time, it has said it will continue to use hydrocarbons to achieve its immediate priorities. As the government put it in an official report, "Energy is the mainstay of the development process of any country."
"Our energy requirements are vast and robust. Mixing all exploitable energy resources is the only feasible way forward in our context," Dharmendra Pradhan, until recently the minister of petroleum and natural gas and now the minister of education, told me. "India will pursue the energy transition in our own way."
So while the European Union debates whether natural gas has any appropriate role in its own future energy program, India is building a $60 billion natural-gas infrastructure system to reduce its reliance on coal, thereby reducing stifling pollution for its urban population and bringing down carbon-dioxide emissions. It is also delivering propane to villagers so that they don't have to cook with wood and waste any longer, and suffer resulting illnesses and premature death from indoor air pollution.
A similar point was made by Nigeria's vice president, Yemi Osinbajo, when I spoke with him this year. "The term energy transition itself is a curious one," he began. "We sometimes tend to focus on one element of the transition. But in fact, that energy transition itself is multidimensional" and must take "into account the different realities of various economies and accommodat[e] various pathways to net zero."
Osinbajo is particularly worried about European banks and international financial institutions "banning" the financing of hydrocarbon development, especially natural gas, owing to climate concerns. "Limiting the development of gas projects poses big challenges for African nations, while they would make an insignificant dent in global emissions," he said. Natural gas and natural gas liquids, he continued, are "already replacing the huge amounts of charcoal and kerosene cookstoves that are most widely used for cooking, and thus saving millions of lives otherwise lost to indoor air pollution annually."
Aissatou Sophie Gladima, the energy minister of Senegal, put it more pithily: Restricting lending for oil and gas development, she said, "is like removing the ladder and asking us to jump or fly."
Moreover, a number of energy-producing developing countries depend on exports of oil and gas for their budgets and social spending. It is not obvious what would replace those revenues. In October, a top U.S. government official warned American companies of "regulatory actions" and other potential penalties if they made new investments in African oil and gas resources. Yet there's no ready alternative for Nigeria, with a population of more than 200 million and a per capita income that's one-12th of the United States', and which depends on oil and gas exports for 70 percent of its budget and 40 percent of its GDP.
Read: The energy crunch, in six paragraphs
"Africa did not cause climate change, and its role in emissions is very small," says Hakeem Belo-Osagie, a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School focusing on the business and economy of Africa. "Covid has wrecked [the] finances of many African countries, and African countries cannot be expected to cut fossil-fuel production, as it is essential to the finances of several African countries."
Will a new North–South divide lead to a fracturing in global policies? For an early indicator, look at what happens in the next two years on global trade. The growth of trade and the opportunities it presented to developing countries have done much to ease the original divide. But signs of the new tensions are certainly there. Europe is moving to establish a "carbon border adjustment mechanism," which is a complicated name for what is essentially a carbon tariff. It will be assessed according to "carbon intensity"—that is, the amount of carbon expended in making a product. Europe sees these tariffs as a way to ensure that its policies and values on climate change are adopted globally, while providing protection to European industries that face higher costs because of carbon pricing. The EU is starting with tariffs on a limited number of goods but is expected to expand the list. The Biden administration is also mulling carbon tariffs. Yet developing countries regard the moves as discriminatory and an effort to impose Europe's policies on them.
The 2015 Paris climate conference established the "what"—the goal of carbon neutrality. COP26 in Glasgow resulted in major steps forward on the "how"—achieving the goal. But when it comes to the energy transition itself, we may still have much to learn about the complexities that lie ahead.

Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd: Hazard fires the Blues to the brink of the title
April 18, 2015 May 15, 2015 Crippy Cooke
Chelsea winger Eden Hazard scored against Manchester United in the Premier League on Saturday evening, as Jose Mourinho's side ground out a valuable 1-0 win at Stamford Bridge to boost their title hopes, reports BBC Sport.
Manchester United started strongly in the first-half, and came close to scoring earlier on from forward Wayne Rooney. But the England international's effort curled wide of the target, and Chelsea eventually took advantage in the opening 45 minutes.
The always deadly Eden Hazard was put through on goal, and cleverly slipped the ball through the legs of United goalkeeper David De Gea to give Chelsea the lead. The Belgian's goal was key for the Londoners, as they know had something to hold onto, and were already set up to nullify the attacking threat of United.
Manchester United enjoyed long spells of possession, but struggled to find the breakthrough against a resilient Chelsea defence. Manager Jose Mourinho set his stall out to keep the top-four hopefuls quiet, and the gameplan was working effectively in the second-half, as Louis van Gaal's side could not create a clear cut opportunity despite the superior possession.

According to Counterpoint Research, Samsung has overtaken Apple in the premium ($400+) smartphone segment. Samsung has grown its share from 20% to 47% from May 2012 to May 2013, while Apple's share has dropped from 73% to 38% during this span. Let's take a deeper look at these figures.
The figures above are slightly misleading because the Galaxy S3 launch occurred at the end of May 2012, while the Galaxy S4 launch occurred in late April 2013. Therefore, Samsung's market share in May 2012 is much lower than expected and the growth looks more pronounced. While this does not affect the overall dynamics in the market, we may be able to get a better picture if we had a look at shipments instead of market share.
Since all current iPhones are priced above $400, we can use the market share chart with quarterly shipment data to estimate the size of the premium smartphone market. For May 2013, we can use my iPhone shipment estimates as a base.
As the chart above shows, iPhone shipments are virtually unchanged over the past year, while Samsung's shipments in the $400+ segment have seen strong growth. This is to be expected as Samsung's combination of branding and large screen smartphones are a much better fit the premium mobile computing usage segment. The interesting part here is the growth of the "Others" segment, i.e. vendors other than Apple & Samsung.
The chart above shows the ratio of premium ($400+) smartphone shipments from other vendors to Apple's and Samsung's shipments. While the share of "Others" in the premium smartphone market doubled from 7% in May 2012, to 15% in May 2013, the pattern with respect to Apple & Samsung is quite interesting. In May 2012, premium smartphone shipments from "Others" were just 10% of Apple's shipments and about 35% of Samsung's shipments. By May 2013, the shipments from "Others" had grown to nearly 40% of Apple's shipments and remained at 32% of Samsung's shipments.
This clearly highlights that the "Others" have maintained Samsung's growth pace, even after taking into account the late S3 launch, and have far outpaced Apple's growth. Even though Q2 is usually one of the iPhone's weaker quarters, the significance of this trend cannot be overstated. It is important to note that this data is based on May shipment figures, i.e. the first month of Galaxy S4 shipments. There have been reports that demand for the Galaxy S4 has been slowing faster than expected, similar to the trend we saw with the iPhone 5. Therefore, the figures in subsequent months could be even more skewed towards the "Others". However, the most important factor to note may be the state of the $400+ smartphone market itself. As I mentioned in the "Profit Share Trap", the biggest threat to Apple & Samsung is from "good enough" smartphones from smaller vendors. In the early stages, this competition may come from $400+ smartphones, but as we move forward, I expect to see greater cannibalization from lower priced phones ($250-$350). This means that the $400+, premium smartphone market may begin to lose its relevance in a year.

Options remain for the Trump administration after another setback this week in its ongoing legal battle with Obamacare.
The Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) requires most companies to cover birth control at no additional cost. Exemptions are available for religious organizations, but the Trump administration wanted to allow more categories of employers – including publicly traded companies – to opt out if they have religious objections.
California argued that the change could result in millions of women in the state losing free birth-control services, leading to unintended pregnancies that would tax the state's healthcare and other social programs. A divided Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with California on Thursday.
"The Trump administration can either choose to have the full panel of Ninth Circuit judges to hear the case, or they can go directly to the Supreme Court," answers Abraham Hamilton III, legal counsel for the American Family Association.
Should the Trump administration go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court, don't expect a quick ruling from the justices, says the attorney.
"It's not likely that it would be a part of this immediate term before the Supreme Court," says Hamilton. "It would more than likely be in the next term to hear the case."
The Department of Justice said in court documents that the rules were about protecting a small group of "sincere religious and moral objectors" from having to violate their beliefs.
California's lawsuit to block the changes was joined by Delaware, Maryland, New York, and Virginia.

The Footwear you will find on these pages is made by a reliable artisan company founded in 1967 by Armando Mazzarolo, the father of the current owners. Our long lasting shoes are a result of combining new technology with knowledge and experience learned from our father.
The name "Armond" comes from the first name of the founder, Armando, who learned how to make quality shoes in an important shoe factory in Montebelluna.
After learning his craft, Armando opened a shoe store, in order to understand what a customer looks for when they buy a pair of shoes. With the knowledge and experience gained, he started production in 1962, making boots to a high standard of quality.
From the beginning, the company grew steadily due to its craftsmanship and high quality standards. To this very day, only the best leathers and materials are used. Every step of the productions having the personal attention of the owners.


The context of the quote I posted last night is important.
But self-affirmation and self-emptying are not opposites, because we can never give away what we do not have. We are unable to give ourselves in love when we are not aware of ourselves. We don't ever come to intimacy without having found and claimed our identity. Jesus lived thirty years in a simple family. There He became a man who knew who He was and where He wanted to go. Only then was He ready to empty Himself and give His life for others. His is the way of all ministry. Through long and often painful formation and training, we ministers have to find our place in life, to discover our own contribution, and to affirm our own self: not to cling to it and claim it as our own unique property, but to go out, offer our services to others, and empty ourselves so that God can speak through us and invite others to new life.
This issue of claiming identity is important... We talked about it in one of my classes last year. The need to wrestle with identity really never goes away. It is why we need alone time sometimes. Wrestling with my identity means facing what I don't want to accept about myself, making a conscious choice not to bury it but instead to use it as a resource for personal growth and change and even for the work that I do with others. It's not always an easy thing to do.
So, is this in the vein of Jung's shadow archetype? Meaning then, that we must truly see and accept our darker natures before we can become whole? Not because the darkness holds anything pretty, but because we need to see it in ourselves before we can change it or control it, or, even, use it for good purposes.
We talk a lot about the shadow side. The concept has a lot of merit.

Hope you find this post useful. Your story reminds my story, I started my blogging journey when I am in 8th class. At that time you too know there is a shortage of Internet connection and also I don't know about SEO.
After a certain amount of time, I got to know What is SEO. I started learning but due to lack of internet, I was failed.
And haven't tried next time to learn. In my college time, I make money through blogging but that time was like I am shooting in dark. I don't know what I am doing.
Then simply I start tracking with the results and know how it works.
It's a long story :D.
BTW thanks for adding a valuable comment.

Recall that during testing macOS Mojave cupertinos abandoned this feature due to communication problems.
In addition, in the fourth beta version of Mac OS 10.14.1 developers from Cupertino have paid attention to the various bug fixes and minor bugs, and worked on the stability of the desktop operating system.
It is worth noting that a few days ago authorized developers have access to the fourth beta versions of other Apple operating systems. However, many believe that the release of the final versions of iOS 12.1, macOS 10.14.1, tvOS 12.1 and 5.1 watchOS will be held before the end of this month.

Jakob Nielsen is a leading web usability consultant He holds a Ph.D in human computer interaction from the Technical University of Denmark in Copenhagen He is also the principal of the Nielsen Norman Group which he co founded with Dr Donald A Norman former VP of research at Apple Computer Before starting NNG in 1998 he was a Sun Microsystems Distinguished Engineer Nielsen founded the discount usability engineering movement for fast and cheap improvements of user interfaces and has invented several usability methods, including heuristic evaluation He holds 79 United States patents, mainly on ways of making the Web easier to use.Nielsen has also given his five quality components of Usability Goals, which are Learnability, Efficiency, Memorability, Errors as in low error rate , Satisfaction.
I'm sure this was a great book when it was written, and there are still several nuggets of wisdom that a UI person can get out of it. However, it's difficult to wade through of all of the dated material to get to them.I honestly can't recommend this book at this time. Web technologies advance at such a rapid rate, and there are so many other books out there, that I just think it's in the reader's best interest to focus on something more current.
Despite its 1999 publication date, this is a still-applicable guide to designing usable websites. It examines numerous examples to highlight the most critical design issues at the page and site levels, showing how they can work together to create an effective design. Anyone interested in an introduction to the foundational principles of web usability will likely find this an accessible and worthwhile read.
I read it back in 1999 and it was a great way to see the perspective of the user when designing websites. Things have changed so much, and even though some of the ideas in here endured, this book is really like reading something from the past, to help remind you of how far things have come. It will still sit on my shelf and remind me to focus on usability in all design.
I believe this book is now too outdated. Web trends and standards have moved far beyond what is discussed in this book. If anything, this book functions more as a web design history lesson. I would recommend Don't Make Me Think (Revisited) by Steve Krug if you're learning about web usability and design.
Great book, lots of good lessons on designing usable web interfaces, but the author's emphasis on spartan design seems a bit dated given the pervasive availability of broadband connections. The 1 second rule seems a good one, but I think that the kb limit for any one page could be revised upward.
Good book, but if you've read some other material about general usability this book isn't going to tell you much more. The most important thing to retrieve from this book is that you should always aim to a simple and efficient interface, reducing the clutter and stuff that may overload the short-memory of the web user.
Usability gnome Nielsen is best known for this work. It's still taken a decade for the basic insights he had to be effected in web projects. For example only in very recent times has content been considered alongside and as part of design, instead of being decoupled at every opportunity. Still relevant and worthy.
This was the textbook for a web design course I took back in 2001. The analysis of websites for good and bad, was very helpful in developing a critical eye for my own designs. I agree with other reviewers that it is now dated, however I still browse it now and then, for a historical perspective on web design.
Usability is a separate animal from CRO and Neilsen has had this game on lock way before it was ubiquitous and popular. The book is old and less relevant and basic on page usability has become much more common, but still a decent over view of the big ideas behind it.
Apparentemente è un manuale molto tecnico, in realtà i principi dell'usabilità di Nielsen si possono applicare a molti campi e costituiscono quasi un'Estetica pragmatica e attuale.Un po' ripetitivo e maledettamente costoso.
Uno de los libros que debes leer si estas en el negocio de los sitios Web, algunas cosas se alejan de la realidad, aunque siempre es bueno conocer primero las reglas para saber cuando se pueden romper.
This book was actual 15 years ago. It is still actual for you if you have no idea about how all this things work. The most valuable content for me was the set of the website screenshoots from the past =) All other things are pretty banal.
Wonderful! I love that recommendations are so thoroughly research-based not just what "looks" good but what is effective. Reminds you what is really important -- the user! While this has been around for awhile, I still see a lot of user-unfriendly sites out there.
I've been hearing about this "game-changing" book for years, and finally picked it up on a bargain rack. Its hard to judge its impact in the late 1990s, but it doesn't hold up well, and Nielsen's tone is pretty irritating.
Read this thinking it would help me with my current project, but it's way too dated to be useful. Would be interesting to see this updated, especially for mobile, but I found that I already knew most of the stuff in here.
I read this meany years ago. But it was very handy as a reference for when I was writing my Master's Thesis.I especially appreciated the pictures of sites and how Jakob broke them down into parts for discussion.
Il testo sacro dell'usabilità web.
I find it astounding that this book was first written in 1997. So much is still so useful. I especially recommend this book for anyone working in e-learning.
my guru!!!!!!!!!!! everyone should learn how to make effective web from here.

When and where the rain will come to the Central Valley
by: Marcela Chavez
FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – The wintery weather conditions continue in the Central Valley bringing more snow in the mountains (from six to 18 inches above 5000 feet and two to four feet above 7000 feet) and a flood watch in effect for the San Joaquin Valley from Wednesday morning until Friday morning.
The wet-weather set to hit California prompted the state Office of Emergency Services to unveil its plans on how state officials will manage the incoming storm. That press conference can be viewed in the video player above.
According to KSEE24's Chief Meteorologist A.J. Fox, after a quiet Tuesday with cloudy skies, the Central Valley will experience scattered showers in the north portion and some snow in the mountains for Wednesday morning.
Then heavy rainfall from Wednesday night around 10:00 p.m. until Thursday morning with potentially cooler air that could form thunderstorms.
The National Weather Service (NWS) says there is a flood watch in effect for the entire forecast area – except for the Kern County desserts and higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada. Federal forecasters say this could be due to a combination of the precipitation coming and the saturated soil from previous rainstorms – with an added potential of rock slides.
Forecasters warn that excessive runoff may result in flooding in rivers and other poor drainage and urban areas.


Coudal Partners is a design and advertising studio located in Chicago. One of the products they sell is the popular Field Notes Brand memo and notebooks.
So if you're trying to market a new version of a notebook you sell, what sort of video would you create to convey the quality that goes into each notebook? I'm pretty sure your first thought wouldn't be the video they created – but I know it goes a long way to convincing me that Coudal puts the utmost care and effort into the creation of their notebooks if they're willing to put this much effort into the promotional video.
Maybe the most obvious way to market your product isn't the best way. How could you present a different aspect of your product to highlight the strength, quality or design of your product?

Q: Get list of points affected by drawLine() or QLineF How do I get a list of points/coordinates that the drawLine() function affects? For example if I have
QLineF line(10.0, 80.0, 90.0, 20.0);
QPainter(this);
painter.drawLine(line);

I want to get the list of QPoint coordinates that the drawLine() will draw. I'm aware of Bresenham's line algorithm, however I need this to work in a more general case where I can set different QPen and QBrush:
painter.setPen(QPen(myColor, myWidth, Qt::SolidLine, Qt::RoundCap));

I also need it to be consistent with other programs that might draw lines with same end points and parameters, but without Qt, so I want to end up with the same result, and without off-by-one differences.
Note: This is different from this question, because I need ALL pixels that are going to be affected by the drawing function, not just the vertices of polygon/path.
Update: I think it is possible to subclass QImage or QPainterDevice and QPaintEngine to catch all "setPixel()" operations. Could anyone prove otherwise or confirm and maybe even write a short code to do that?

A: Not sure of your performance requirements but you could render the line off screen then look at the image to see what pixels were painted. Here's an example that prints the pixels painted between a 3 pixel line on a 400x400 image from 190,190 to 210,210.
When you work with QImage, be sure to use the scanLine() function for performance reasons.
#include <QCoreApplication>
#include <QImage>
#include <QPainter>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QImage image(400,400,QImage::Format_ARGB32);
    QPainter painter;
    painter.begin(&image);
    painter.fillRect(0,0,400,400,QBrush(Qt::white));
    QBrush brush(Qt::black);
    QPen pen(brush, 3.0);
    painter.setPen(pen);
    painter.drawLine(190,190,210,210);
    painter.end();

    for (int i=0;i<image.height();i++) {
        const uchar *scanLine = image.scanLine(i);
        for (int j=0;j<image.width()*4;j+=4) {
            if ( scanLine[j] == 0 ) {
                qDebug() << "pixel" << i << j/4 << scanLine[j];
            }
        }
    }

    return (0);
}

A: The exact pixels covered will not necessarily even be consistent within a Qt program.  It will be different if you turn on anti-aliasing on the QPainter, it will be different if you draw to a QGLWidget, and it might be different depending on which platform the program is running on, because Qt has different QPaintEngine implementations which do not necessarily produce exactly the same output.
In short, what you're asking for just isn't possible.  You can only ever find the pixels covered by a particular paint operation, and you can only do that by taking the approach suggested by mzelina.

Weng Wenhao (; 26 July 1889 – 27 January 1971) was a Chinese geologist and politician. He was one of the earliest modern Chinese geologists, and is regarded as the founder of modern Chinese geology and the father of modern Chinese oil industry. From May to November 1948, Weng served as President of the Executive Yuan (Premier) of the Republic of China.

Life
