A Light in the Darkness of Lent
As I make my way through the season of Lent again this year, my thoughts return to a visit I made to Jerusalem in January. If I close my eyes I can summon in an instant the twisting labyrinth of streets in the Old City, its narrow thoroughfares crowded with orthodox Jews, robed Muslims, Israeli soldiers, and Christian pilgrims from around the world.
In the midst of the crowds, the Via Dolorosa, the "Way of Sorrow," marks the path followed by Jesus from the Roman judgment court to Golgotha. Was this the exact route taken by Jesus? Probably not, say historians. But as with so much in the Holy Land, exactitude is not the point. Jesus did walk through the city of Jerusalem on his way to be killed, and then, as now, the Old City was a bustling place, full of the heady aroma of spices, the playful antics of children, and the banter of shoppers. The everyday activities of the world did not stop for that tortured journey, and neither does the Old City keep quiet for the pilgrims who follow the Via Dolorosa today.
On my own walk along the Via Dolorosa, I struggled to maintain a sense of reverence while dodging street carts and brushing off the enticements of eager merchants. Even after I reached the route's end at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, I found myself distracted, for this church built on the site where Jesus is said to have been killed, entombed, and resurrected is one of the most curious holy sites I've ever visited. It's not a church in the conventional sense, but rather a series of shrines. Inside its massive front door, visitors climb the stairs to Golgotha, a spot marked with a gilded and highly ornamented Greek Orthodox altar. Descending the stairs, they pass by the Stone of Unction, which commemorates the spot where Jesus' dead body was anointed and wrapped for the grave, and then enter the sepulchre itself.
On the days I visited, the church was filled with people speaking languages from around the world. Amid the crowds, clergy members from various denominations bustled back and forth, immersed in a complicated set of rituals that didn't seem to involve anyone but themselves. The lighting was subdued, making the flickering candles of the various shines even more evocative and mysterious. And at the center of the building was a long line of people standing in front of the sepulchre, patiently waiting to enter the tomb itself.
The time-worn icons and shrines were impressive, but another part of the church appealed to me even more: a spare and unadorned room that held a somewhat-woebegone altar. To one side was the entrance to a small cave hewn out of rock. "According to tradition, this cave is the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea," a guide had told me on my first visit to the church. "All the crowds go to the sepulchre, but I think this spot may well have been the place where Jesus' body was laid."

I returned several times to that spot at the back of the church, not caring overmuch whether the guide's surmise was true. It was quiet there, for one thing, the noise of the crowds in the main sanctuary nearly inaudible. And I was mesmerized by the small oil lamp that burned inside the cave, its light creating a halo of radiance in the darkness.
As I journey through this year's Lent, I am beginning to understand why the darkness of that cave spoke so urgently to my heart. Resurrection is far more likely to occur in a place like this than amid the noisy hubbub of crowds. Rebirth needs darkness and quiet. We need darkness and quiet, in this season of Lent most of all.
Through this somber season, the memory of that small lamp has become my talisman. "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it," wrote the author of the Gospel of John. We still struggle to comprehend that mystery, do we not?

I found myself recently contemplating the concept of the Intelligent Enterprise. More specifically I pondered the importance of mobile as a channel, as a platform for new business models, as an enabler for the oft over-used term digital transformation.
Let's not get too philosophical here – as you know I'm a mobile guy, so my pondering was not so much about whether mobile was fundamental to the intelligent enterprise. Instead, I wondered if people realize how critical it is to get their mobile strategy right.
SAP TechEd, SAP's annual technical event for learning, collaboration, training and education can be a tremendously valuable vehicle for creating or refining your mobile (and digital overall) experience strategy, and with a little preparation you can make 2018's experience in Las Vegas even more worthwhile.
The first question that you might have is "What sessions should I take"? The answer is ALL OF THEM, of course! And this year with the introduction of Learning Journeys to TechEd curriculum, finding mobile sessions has never been easier. Learning Journeys are designed to focus on a specific persona, with a tailored curriculum designed to meet that persona's needs and fulfill his/her personal and career objectives. I recommend reviewing all of the SAP TechEd Learning Journeys for TechEd as a first step towards TechEd enlightenment.
SAP Cloud Platform Mobile Services is SAP strategic solution for enterprise mobile application development. Mobile Services enables customers, partners and SAP to build, deploy and run enterprise ready mobile apps that provide consumer grade user experience with enterprise integration, security and supportability. It shouldn't surprise you then, that all sessions related to Mobile Services can be found in the Consumer-Grade Experience Journey. More specifically, you'll want to check out the CGE4: Build Mobile Apps for the Digital Enterprise journey. These are the sessions you want to take! if you simply must look at the journey now, go ahead. We'll be here when you get back.
The next question you might ask is "Who do I talk to?" I'm glad you asked!
I'd like to introduce you to the mobile superheroes; the folks at TechEd Las Vegas who can answer all your questions about mobile. Keep this list handy and you'll find yourself completely "in the know"!
Mark's involved in lots of different mobile topics, from SAP Mobile Cards, mobile dev kit and the native SDKs. He's involved in pretty much everything from a customer adoption perspective. If there is something, anything, blocking your adoption of SAP Cloud Platform Mobile Services, you need to talk to Mark!
Please read this blog for information about other user experience and design sessions at TechEd Las Vegas.
I look forward to seeing each and everyone one of you in a couple weeks in sunny Las Vegas!

DOVER, Del. – His car parked on the track because of a late-race red flag, Carl Edwards had time to catch replays on the big screen of the crash that wiped out other Chase drivers. Edwards could only think about how lucky he was that he would get away from Dover unscathed.
"This place has great potential for disaster," he said.
Edwards avoided trouble on the track Sunday to win at Dover International Speedway, but he found it in the garage. The No. 99 Ford failed the postrace inspection because the right rear fender was too low, and NASCAR this week will likely hit Edwards with a fine and dock him crucial points.
NASCAR spokesman Ramsey Potson said there was no evidence of intentional tampering.
"This is a height violation. It is not one where we believe the structure of the body has been manipulated," he said.
Edwards had dodged the smoke, the skids and the wrecks win his first Chase race in two seasons and vault five spots to third in the Chase for the tightened championship standings.
Now it's all in doubt.
The probable penalty will only further jumble a points race that has the top six drivers separated by a mere 18 points. Jeff Gordon seized the points lead, with Tony Stewart second. Jimmie Johnson, who led the standings entering the day, fell to fourth.
"It was a crazy day at Dover and somehow we came out of it with the points lead," Gordon said.
It sure was crazy. All he has to do is ask Kurt Busch, Matt Kenseth or Denny Hamlin. Smoked or smashed cars derailed their pursuit for a Nextel Cup title and the race was a disaster for most of the championship field.
Edwards' surge late at Dover helped him avoid a massive wreck with 14 laps left that affected Chase contenders Martin Truex Jr., Kurt Busch, Kyle Busch, Johnson and a few other drivers in the 400-mile race on the concrete track.
Kurt Busch's car hit the wall on the straightaway and ricocheted back on the track and into Reed Sorenson. The big crash left Truex's crumpled car on the track while the race was red-flagged for nearly 12 minutes.
The cars can be repaired. The damage done in the points race in the pursuit for the Nextel Cup title might be too much to overcome for some of the drivers.
"It's tough when everybody puts a lot of hard work into building these cars, and to just have one little problem like that took out a lot of cars," Kurt Busch said.
Busch was far from the only driver who ran into trouble.
Matt Kenseth's car was smoking and Denny Hamlin was fuming. Johnson and Kevin Harvick had tire woes. One by one, drivers in the Chase dropped back and dropped out.
That left Edwards as about the only Chase drivers left standing in the race that had 13 caution periods. Only four Chase drivers finished in the top 10 after they filled the first seven spots last week at New Hampshire.
"I think right now this Chase is turning into what people predicted," Edwards said. "The depth is such that I think you're going to have to win races."
Greg Biffle was second and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third. Mark Martin and Kyle Busch rounded out the top five in a Car of Tomorrow race.
Once the second race in the 10-race Chase was over, the points differential among the top seven drivers was minuscule, guaranteeing heated jostling for positions down the stretch.
Gordon holds a two-point lead over Stewart and leads Clint Bowyer in sixth by 18 points.
"There were a lot of good cars today that are in the Chase that had a bad day and not having a bad day is what you've got to do," said Stewart, who was ninth.
Edwards, who also leads the Busch Series, won the 100th career race for owner Jack Roush.
"There's going to be a lot of twists and turns in what remains, but today we're going to celebrate," Roush said.
Kenseth, Edward's Roush Fenway Racing teammate, had the car to beat all race and was absolutely dominating, even with an alternator problem early on. He was running up front until a busted valve cooked his car and his shot at victory. Kenseth went from running for a victory to just hoping he could salvage a top-10 finish.
But seconds after the race went back to green with 27 laps left, smoke blew out the back of the car and he was forced out of the race, finishing a woeful 35th.
Kenseth, the 2003 champion, still has never won a Chase race.
"We were in a good spot to win the race and we were in a good spot to gain some points for the championship," Kenseth said.
It just wasn't to be. He was just added to the list of top Chase drivers who had their title hopes all but finished.
Hamlin wrecked with Kyle Petty and the two drivers got into a brief skirmish in the garage. Petty slapped Hamlin's helmet as he walked away from the driver.
"You smack me in the helmet and I'm going to punch you in the face," Hamlin said. "So I'd like for him to call me some time this week."
Hamlin placed 38th — the worst of all Chase drivers — and is stuck in 12th place in the standings, effectively ending his bid for a championship.
Bowyer followed his first career victory last week at New Hampshire with a 12th-place finish and fell from fourth to sixth in the standings.
Other Chase results had Jeff Burton finish seventh and moved up three spots in the standings to eighth. Gordon was 11th and Truex and Johnson were 13th and 14th; Harvick was 20th; Kurt Busch 29th.

Expression of a constitutively active Stat6 in vivo alters lymphocyte homeostasis with distinct effects in T and B cells
Heather A. Bruns, Ulrike Schindler, Mark Kaplan
Pediatric Pulmonology, Critical Care, & Allergy
IL-4 is a critical cytokine in the regulation of immune responses and genesis of atopy. Engagement of the IL-4R activates multiple signaling pathways, including the transcription factor Stat6. Stat6-deficient mice demonstrate the importance of this factor in lymphocyte proliferation, gene expression, and Th cell differentiation. Recently, a mutant Stat6 (Stat6VT) was generated that is transcriptionally active independent of IL-4 stimulation. To determine the ability of a constitutively active Stat6 to mimic IL-4-stimulated responses, we have generated transgenic mice expressing Stat6VT under control of the CD2 locus control region, restricting expression to lymphoid populations. The phenotype of Stat6VT transgenic mice is similar, but not identical, to IL-4 transgenic mice, suggesting a critical role for Stat6-independent signaling pathways in the generation of some IL-4 responses in vivo. The expression of a constitutively active Stat6 in vivo increases surface expression of IL-4-induced genes and increases serum levels of IgG1 and IgE, compared with nontransgenic mice. Stat6VT expression increases Th2 differentiation in vivo and in vitro. Stat6VT expression also dramatically alters homeostasis of peripheral lymphocyte populations resulting in decreased CD3+ cells and increased B220+ cells, compared with nontransgenic littermates. Altered T and B cell populations correlate with an activated phenotype and increased cell death in transgenic T cell, but not B cell, populations. Together these results suggest that expression of a constitutively active Stat6 has distinct effects on B and T lymphocytes.

Background:An important part of examining the adequacy of measures for use in ethnically diverse populations is the evaluation of differential item functioning (DIF) among subpopulations such as those administered the measure in different languages. A number of methods exist for this purpose.Objective:The objective of this study was to introduce and demonstrate the identification of DIF using item response theory (IRT) and the likelihood-based model comparison approach.Methods:Data come from a sample of community-residing elderly who were part of a dementia case registry. A total of 1578 participants were administered either an English (n = 913) or Spanish (n = 665) version of the 21-item Mini-Mental State Examination. IRT was used to identify language DIF in these items with the likelihood-based model comparison approach.Results:Fourteen of the 21 items exhibited significant DIF according to language of administration. However, because the direction of the identified DIF was not consistent for one language version over the other, the impact at the scale level was negligible.Conclusions:IRT and the likelihood-based model comparison approach comprise a powerful tool for DIF detection that can aid in the development, refinement, and evaluation of measures for use in ethnically diverse populations.

Dutch EDM DJ Producer Sander van Doorn
November 29, 2017 Posted by PrimeEV Artist Profile, EDM
Dutch EDM DJ Producer Sander van Doorn was born in February 1979 in Eindhoven, Netherlands. He started his musical career in 1995 at the age of seventeen. Enamored with his brother's Roland Groovebox 303, Sander began his journey into electronic music. He borrowed his cousin's records and his brother's Groovebox and learned his craft.
Musical Style
Sander has created his unique sound and style. He style has ranged from tech house and progressive house to vocal electro house to trance and tech trance. It's impossible to appoint one specific genre to him; his music gets influenced by a vast spectrum of factors.
He is a producer at heart and started DJing to generate exposure for his productions. He continues to be an immensely prolific and diverse producer, with his prodigious solo output plus extensive collaborations helping him to amass millions of plays on YouTube and Spotify. 'Gold Skies' for example has picked up well over 60 million streams alone, making for one of the biggest hits of his career so far. His A&R skills show no sign of faltering either with his DOORN Records imprint unleashing a steady stream of big names and hot new talents alike.
2017 saw him launch his intoxicating alias Purple Haze, dedicated to a "sharper, darker, rougher" sound. He unveiled the project at Ultra Music Festival with a spectacular audio-visual live show that vividly brought to life his new concept. Later in the year, he released the debut Purple Haze album, SPECTRVM: a riot of dark trance and tough techno with some standout vocals to boot. Rather than taking luster away from his usual SvD sounds, the new project has created a positive, synergized feedback loop in his studio.
Too often I've seen artists lose their focus when they try to combine too many different sounds, but I get so much creative energy from working on this project that it's added to the creative flow for Sander van Doorn.
It's just the start of Purple Haze, with some very big plans in the works — and with such a positive reaction from fans, more material is hotly anticipated.
Today, Sander has performed thousands of shows in every corner of the world and released numerous solo records, yet he is still part of a group of innovative and progressive artists. Sander's creative process exists of re-inventing musical styles, taking risks in regards to the sound he creates and most importantly staying ahead of the masses. Regular appearances at world-beating clubs and festivals like Creamfields, Tomorrowland, UNTOLD Festival and Electric Daisy Carnival pepper his hectic diary which sees him plays to tens of thousands across the globe every month.
Sander has three full-length albums, numerous hit-singles, remixes of the world's most prominent artists, and sold-out gigs in all major venues and festivals worldwide. He has a successful record label and a weekly radio show named Identity. Sander van Doorn continues his musical journey into the heart of fans around the world.
He headlined Night Shift on the Eden Terrace at Nocturnal Nightclub, Miami, alongside residents Joseph Areas and Snay & Gin in 2010.

Labor FAQs – Family Medical Leave Act
Q: Does the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) guarantee paid time off?
A: No. The FMLA only requires unpaid leave. However, the law permits an employee to elect, or the employer to require the employee, to use accrued paid leave, such as vacation or sick leave, concurrently with some or all of the FMLA leave. Requiring employees to exhaust paid leave concurrently with FMLA leave means that the employee cannot be out for twelve weeks FMLA leave and then have, for example, two weeks vacation in addition.
Q: What if the employee has been employed for a total of more than a year, but had a break in service and has only been back at work for seven months. Is the employee eligible for FMLA leave?
A: If the employee has been employed for at least a year AND worked for 1250 hours in the last twelve months, yes. For example, if the employee was employed for three years, left the company for four months and came back and has only worked seven months, but has completed 1250 hours in those last seven months, the employee would be eligible for leave, assuming it is for a qualified reason.
Q: Does workers' compensation leave count against an employee's FMLA leave entitlement?
A: It may. FMLA leave and workers' compensation leave can run together, provided the reason for the absence is due to a qualifying serious illness or injury and the employer properly notifies the employee in writing that the leave will be counted as FMLA leave.
Q: Who is considered an immediate "family member" for purposes of taking FMLA leave?
A: An employee's spouse, children (son or daughter), and parents are immediate family members for purposes of FMLA. The term "parent" does not include a parent "in-law." The terms son or daughter do not include individuals age 18 or over unless they are "incapable of self-care" because of mental or physical disability that limits one or more of the "major life activities" as those terms are defined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Q: Are employees required to furnish medical records for leave due to a serious health condition?
A: No. However, you may request that the employee provide a medical certification confirming that a serious health condition exists.
Q: What can an employer do about an employee who needs intermittent leave for continuing treatment by a doctor?
A: The employer can require the employee to schedule appointments in the manner least disruptive to the employee's work. For example, if the treatment can be scheduled outside of the employee's regular work hours, the employer may require the employee, if possible, to scheduled appointments so as not to interfere with work.
Q: What can an employer do about the health insurance premiums paid by the employer while an employee was out on leave if the employee does not return to work?
A: If the employee fails to return to work for a reason unrelated to the need for the leave, for example if the employee decides not to return by choice, then the employer can seek to recoup the employer's portion of the health insurance premiums from the employee.
Q: What if an employer hears that an employee on leave does not intend to return to work at the end of leave?
A: An employer may require employees to report periodically on their status and intent to return to work while on FMLA leave, provided that the employer's policy regarding requiring such reporting is not discriminatory. Therefore, it would be a good idea to have an across the board policy requiring employees on leave to certify their intent to return to work at the end of their leave. It would probably be discriminatory to only require women on leave for the birth of a child to provide such a certification.

Q: Navbar is jumping When any of the links in the menu is hovered the whole bar just jumping, I can'r figure out what to do((
here is css code, sorry if it's messy, im new to this.
.nav{
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    text-align: center;
    padding-right: 48px;
    padding-top: 12px;
}

.nav li{
    display: inline;
}

.nav a{
    display: inline-block;
    padding: 10px;
}

a {
    color: #fff;
    font: 25px/1 Courier New, monospace;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 15%;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

a:link {color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;}
a:visited {color: #fff; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal;}
a:active {color: #fff; text-decoration: none;}
a:hover {font-family: Courier; color: #600080; text-decoration:none; font-weight: none;text-transform: uppercase; position: sticky;}
a:hover { font-size: 215%; }

A: The cause of the problem is this here:
a:hover {
  font-size: 215%;
}

As your font-size increases it makes the a element larger which makes your li and nav larger. There's various ways you can address this problem. One of the easiest way is to accommodate for the growth of a. If you inspect the element on hover the element becomes 122px (in my example). If I set a min-height the larger a size is accommodate for and "shifting" won't occur:
a {
  min-height: 130px;
}

Now this may not work for you if your links are either dynamic or translatable. You could use scale rather than increasing the font-size which makes the element grow in place without pushing it's parent's dimension:
a:hover {
  transform: scale(2.15);
}

body {
  background: #333;
}

.nav {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  text-align: center;
  padding-right: 48px;
  padding-top: 12px;
}

.nav li {
  display: inline;
}

.nav a {
  display: inline-block;
  padding: 10px;
}

a {
  color: #fff;
  font: 25px/1 Courier New, monospace;
  text-decoration: none;
  width: 15%;
  vertical-align: middle;
}

a:link {
  color: #fff;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: normal;
}

a:visited {
  color: #fff;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: normal;
}

a:active {
  color: #fff;
  text-decoration: none;
}

a:hover {
  font-family: Courier;
  color: #600080;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-weight: none;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  position: sticky;
}

a:hover {

As the UK continues facing economic uncertainty, with Brexit causing chaos, it has been claimed that people have been forced to turn to second charge mortgages.
Thistle Finance, specialist packager, remarked that they have seen a 12% year-on-year increase in the fourth quarter of 2018 in second charge mortgage activity.
They also noted around 25% of total loans that were arranged were partly or fully used to help people cover their self-assessment tax bills, which were payable before the 31 January 2019 deadline.
"It's common knowledge that the seconds market is thriving and the fact that people don't want to jeopardise extremely low mortgage rates is certainly a key driver in this.
"What stood out in the fourth quarter, however, is how a far larger number of people than usual were using second charges to pay off their tax bills.
The Finance and Leasing Association (FLA) released a report last month, in which their figures revealed that the second charge market grew in December 2018, for the sixth month in a row.
According to them, new agreements increased by 13%, from 1,584 in December 2017, to 1,792 (£80m) in December 2018.
Total number of new agreements for 2018 stood at 23,529, which was 7% higher than the total for 2017, with a value of just over £1 billion.
The FLA said it expects the market to see further single-digit new business growth in 2019.
"Brexit has certainly caused uncertainly. As a result, fewer people are moving property and instead are looking to do home improvements.

Q: what exactly is 'manifest' option which is related to a MSI file created from Installshield? KNOWN THINGS :
When a .msi is built, a manifest is built into it. The manifest defines, among other things, the resources (including privilege elevation) the .msi needs to install successfully.
UNKNOWN THINGS :
1.Can this Manifest option be set anywhere in Installshield with Administrator privilege as default ?
2.Is this Manifest option coming into play only for Windows 7 ?

A: Your known things are incorrect. The manifest goes into an exe file. Since Windows Vista (which InstallShield first supported in InstallShield 12 or so), there's an additional marker in this manifest that indicates required elevation levels, and is respected by Windows Vista and Windows 7 so far. Since about InstallShield 12 (definitely by InstallShield 2008), there's an option on the release grid that lets you specify that the setup.exe bootstrap requires administrative privileges.
However for custom actions, this is not necessarily the correct approach, any more than wrapping your arm in several layers of gauze is the correct response to a mosquito bite. Generally it is much better to schedule custom actions that require elevated privileges as "deferred in system context." In this location they run with those privileges (with the exception of a Windows 7 per-user install, or a pre-Windows Vista unelevated unadvertised install). Before InstallShield 12 or so, there are several built-in custom actions that InstallShield did not do this for, and those can cause issues when run from a non-elevated context.

A: The manifest file that you talk of first made an appearance in WinXP. It has nothing to do with InstallShield itself, although you could use a custom action to manipulate it. Not that there is a need to though, it is not the sort of file that you need to be changing. If you have an automated build process then maybe you should think about making any required changes with that process, rather than as part of the install.

Q: Qt cant open new window I have a program that in the main opens a window with user list and 2 buttons, when one button is pressed it should close/hide the main window, and open a new window (in this case MarkdownEditorUi class).
But when I do the .show() comand, the new window does not appear, and I don t know why, int the main (opening the main window works), but in the main window opening a second window does not work.

*

*I do in the method: FirstCplusPlusQt5Program::buttonMarkdownAction()
CreateEditMarkdownNoteUi markdownEditor;
  markdownEditor.show();          //show markdown editor window
  this->hide();
But the markdownEditor dont/open show a new window. And i know in the debug that the code is executed.
Am i doing something wrong? It was based in windows created in the Qt Creator. I should work.
Also: when the new window is invoked in the main, it works, and the code is exactly the same. I dont understand why it doesn't work in the main window, but works in the void main();
Code
Main
int main(int argc, char *argv[]){

    RuntimeContainer r(20);
    r.insertLog("Start main","Starting everything ", Log::PROGRAM_STARTUP);

    cout << "Fist log inserted in main memory: \n> Name--> " << r.getLogList().getLogByIndex(0).getName().toStdString() << " \n--> Description: "<< r.getLogList().getLogByIndex(0).getDescription().toStdString();

    QApplication app(argc, argv);
    FirstCplusPlusQt5Program w;

I already tried the solutions given in another threads of stack overflow and dont work and i dont understand why (How to open a new window from the main window in Qt?).
Thank you for the help in advance

A: The problem is the object is getting out of scope.
In main function the window open and stills openned due the event loop app.exec();. It's preventing reaches the end of the scope of your main function until the program ends and the event loop returns the exit code.
To work around this problem without too much changes in your code you can create the class with new  and get rid of the problems with scope, set a parent to this class to enable auto delete or set explicitly the setAttribute(Qt::WA_DeleteOnClose); with the same purpose.
Also remember that if all windows are closed and QApplication::quitOnLastWindowClosed() == true; the entire application will be closed, so if necessary call QApplication::setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(false); and exit your application explicitly using QApplication::quit(); for example:
CreateEditMarkdownNoteUi *markdownEditor = new CreateEditMarkdownNoteUi(this);
markdownEditor->show();

A: You use:

ui->setupUi(this);

If you want your ui-design be set up on a new window, this should be this new window. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/12182145/4599792 .
I doubt however if it is smart or possible to have two windows of QMainWindow type within the same application. So let your ui-design run within a QWidget window, but not within QMainWindow window.


When it comes to writing my characters, I'm all about layers. Occasionally, I'll dive in and start writing scenes, especially ones I've been excited to write, but I like knowing my characters and how they'd react in their situation. One of the main reasons Lucy of Gifted is 21 years old is because I knew I couldn't make her under 21–specifically because Lucy would never have the balls to sneak into a bar and drink underage. Lucy is brave, but not reckless (not usually, anyway) and is all about abiding rules and laws. It's how she and her family stayed safe as gifted out in the human world for all those years.
Shrek, the original onion layer, agrees that layers make a character.
For whatever reason, Gifted sort of simply came together for me. I mean, I worked hard on it and edited thousands of times to tie up all my loose ends, but sometimes it simply wrote itself through my fingers, my subconscious secretly piecing things together without my even realizing it. More importantly, the characters were almost a no-brainer. I knew almost immediately who they were, their roles in the story, what they looked like, and how their relationships with Lucy would evolve. I knew exactly how each person would react in any given situation. They were already old friends of mine and they nearly jumped off the page for me. I only had one major change with the characters–Renata, the Earthshaker we see a handful of times throughout, was actually a main player. I decided there were already lots of characters, so I scooted her to the background (though I kept in her big moment during a fight scene). After a while (like after the 2nd draft), I finally wrote everything down about the characters–their families, tics and habits, all of it. I made sure I knew those guys inside and out. And it took several layers that even led me to their secrets I might not have found otherwise had I not dug a little deeper.
When I say layer a character, I mean that's my method of writing. I'd been having some difficulties with the WIP lately. When working on SuperNova, I couldn't figure out why I was having such a blasted hard time with the characters. I could picture them in my mind, but I didn't know them yet. Every scene I wrote sounded flat because despite my physical movements and settings, the voices were simply neutral. I could've traded them in for anyone. The last thing I want is Nova getting confused for Lucy. So last week, I took a step back and realized I'd skipped a step that I didn't really have to do for my Gifted characters right away. I'd been so worried about getting the story out on paper that I didn't take a good look at my characters, didn't interview them or consider their thoughts and feelings.
Sorry, I know that's like the world's worst Mad Lib, but you probably get the general idea (plus I know all the answers to those questions and I refuse to give spoilers before the first draft is even done!) 🙂 Once I'm done with the first layer, realizing who they are, I can move on to the next: placing them in scenes. Because I've already set up everything, I add in specifics, such as their facial expressions (reactions), tics (like Lucy's finger tapping), or emotional reactions (Delia's cookie problem). I also get little ideas within those scenes on how to move forward. Sometimes I get thrown for a loop, but often it leads to a helpful dose of detail later on in the book.
I have no doubt that layering sounds a little strange to some, just as other techniques might baffle me. However, it's working for me in this strange little system. It's like I've put all the ingredients together and now it's time to bake the cake (I've got dessert on the brain). The point is, no matter how a writer composes their story, it's important for us to know our characters inside and out. When they talk to you, write everything down! It doesn't matter if family history or a random event in their life doesn't make the cut–it makes the characters who they are. Those ideas shape them just as any of our pasts shape us. Brainstorming is fun and you'll put all the pieces together eventually. Even if the details don't make it into the story, it helps us to create our world and its people.
This is amazing. I'm writing a book at the moment, an idea I had a few days ago and I haven't started actually writing the chapters yet. I've been trying to flesh out everything before diving in, getting to know my characters etc. and this has really helped! I'm going to spend my morning really getting to know them.
Awesome! I read everywhere to "interview" them–down to the last detail, you can figure out who they are by continuously asking them questions. It's a huge help! I'm so excited to meet your characters!!

Children on the autism spectrum require special teaching methods, additional guidance, and general support from their teachers to reach their full potential. If you teach a child on the autism spectrum, consider implementing one or more of these tips for a more inclusive and supportive learning experience.
Help other children understand that "different" does not mean "worse." If you are teaching in an inclusive classroom, other children may not understand what autism is or why one student is being taught differently. When introducing a student with autism, stress that he or she wants the same things as all other students: to be accepted, to make friends, and to learn alongside their peers.
Use visual aids. Children with autism often have trouble understanding abstract concepts. Using visual aids, pictures, and models to communicate classroom rules or lessons can help children with autism more clearly understand what they are expected to do or say in certain situations.
Communicate clearly. Young children with autism may have trouble grasping figurative language or tasks with multiple steps. When working with a child with autism, avoid using figurative language, instead favoring short sentences with concrete terms.
Keep learning spaces the same. If you've ever been a substitute teacher in a different classroom, you probably remember how nerve-racking, anxiety-inducing, or even downright scary entering a new environment can be. Children with autism are often resistant to change, and unexpected changes in environment can amplify anxiety. Keeping your learning environment the same can help children with autism focus on their lessons instead of becoming distracted.
Be aware of sensory issues. Many children with autism have sensitivity issues concerning certain colors, scents, and sounds. Using neutral hues and keeping your classroom free of excessive perfumes and other odors can help keep children with autism from experiencing sensory overload.
Are you interested in learning more about teaching in an inclusive classroom? The Teacher's Academy offers online professional development for teachers in Philadelphia that is Act 48 compliant.

of the Fox Covert
The Fox Covert had rather humble beginnings from around 1966 where a couple Mr and Mrs Young used to run it. The Young's did cattle transporting for the local farmers and also ran the Half Moon. The Half Moon was the precursor to the present name that the pub took on from it's new owners.
In the words of Brian who has been in when he was about 11 years in 1966 'A bar was non-existent and when you walked in the pub it resembled more of a living room'. A woman, Mrs Young used to come around from an interior room that adjoined the main hall serving the clientele, who were mainly farmers from around the area, drinks.
Then there was a brief spell where the Half Moon was left empty. And then it went up for sale.
A chap named Herbert Wood who ran the New Inn down the road from the Half Moon bought it in the late 60's. He then set about changing the place.
A long bar was added as part of the modernisation. And the horse stable and pig sty that was at the end of the property was developed into a restaurant.
It was sometime in 1968 that The Half Moon was re-christened as The Fox Covert. It was also around this time that the Kirklevington Country Club came along which hosted acts like Rod Stewart and Long John Baldwry.
Chris who was then the area manager for Vaux Breweries, bought the pub along with this wife Sue and ran it till early 2018. They made extensive renovations and moved the bar to the central and knocked off all the partitions to make it one long open spaced pub.
Nicola and Jane who have both worked for at the Fox Covert since their teens eventually took over after Chris and Sue. They are both passionate and excited to offer existing and new customers an excellence in service that they've come to be accustomed to. Joanne and Jimmy, the managers, like other staff have had a long term association with the Fox Covert.
Set on the fringes of the sprawling housing estate of Ingleby Barwick, The Fox Covert warmly extends its welcome to everyone to come and enjoy the hospitality that we offer.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Aug. 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Plug and Play Travel & Hospitality is expanding its offering to Europe with a new corporate innovation model. This practice intends to bring startups directly to the headquarters of participating corporations through a series of deep dive innovation days. These deep dive innovation days will act as the filtration process for choosing relevant startups to participate in future corporate innovation programs.
The founding partners include Swissport, Star Alliance, Brussels Airport Company, and Vienna International Airport. On September 10th, Plug and Play will host one of the first innovation days at Brussels Airport focused on Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), Baggage-as-a-Service (BaaS), biometrics, sustainability, and smart airports/smart cities.
"The purpose of why we created this new model is to drive results when corporations and startups engage with Plug and Play. When we bring startups to a corporation's headquarters, it gives them an opportunity to involve all of the different decision-makers in identifying new startups and technology providers they will work with, invest in, or acquire," said Jordan Bray, Head of Corporate Partnerships for Plug and Play Travel & Hospitality.
"This partnership is a clear sign of Brussels Airport's ambition to continuously improve and innovate in order to deliver the best services to its clients, passengers and airlines. This will give us continuous access to the latest developments in all areas of aviation/airport business," explains Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport Company.
"Our partnership with Plug and Play is an important step towards our vision of becoming the world's most digitally advanced airline alliance by delivering more seamless journeys to our global customers," said Jeremy Drury, Star Alliance Director Digital & Technology Services. "The workshops hosted with Plug and Play provide us an exceptional understanding of future digital trends both inside and outside the travel ecosystem and allow us to find corresponding startups with which to partner to take the customer experience to the next level."
Simon Messner, EVP Performance & Innovation at Swissport International, said, "New technologies emerging from startups are an important piece of our innovation strategy and to identify them we've been partnering with Plug and Play for over two years. We are delighted to see a program launched closer to our European operations."
"Innovation will make travelling much more convenient, by cooperating within the global network of Plug and Play we want to attract and support new business ideas to work in Vienna International Airport, to meet our ambition as a frontrunner in air travel improvements," welcomes Vienna International Airport CFO, Günther Ofner, on the launch of Plug and Play Travel Europe.
Prior to each event, partners are asked to identify specific technologies, opportunities, or problem statements that they are looking to explore through innovation. Between 12-15 startups will attend and pitch how their product/service has the potential to solve industry problems. These events will act as a filtration process for partners to determine which companies they would like to engage with through pilots, proof-of-concepts, commercial deals, partnerships, investments, and/or acquisitions.
Headquartered in Silicon Valley, Plug and Play is a global startup ecosystem bringing together airports, airlines, hotels, and the rest of the industry to drive open innovation through its Travel and Hospitality Program. They recently expanded to include travel-specific programs in Europe, Shanghai, Singapore, and UAE.

Q: Removing track from playlist call deleteContainer instead removeFromContainer When I am trying to remove tracks from users playlist, controller send SOAP request with method deleteContainer, i.e.:

  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

But I can see there is a method removeFromContainer and I assume this method should be used for removing tracks from a playlist.
I have this problem in Android APP and in MacOS Sonos App. And I am removing tracks, not playlists. When removing playlists, it calls the same method deleteContainer but with the right ID, i.e.: PLAYLISTS:PLAYLIST:23952
Am I wrong? In which case method removeFromContainer will be used?

A: The way playlist editing was designed, the controller expects the individual playlist containers to be of itemType "playlist". The way to fix the behavior you are seeing above, is to set each of the individual playlist containers to itemType "playlist".

Since the parent container has an itemType of "favorites", the children will also inherit the favorites behavior and you will still be able to have the content of the individual playlists refreshed upon the getLastUpdate call. You could also include the containsFavorite node within mediaCollection and set the value to true for the individual playlists (see documentation here on containsFavorite: http://musicpartners.sonos.com/node/83).
We will investigate internally the behavior when an itemType other than "playlist" is used for individual playlist containers. Let us know if you have any further questions.


RIS has always taught discipline in a unique way. The discipline taught in RIS International cannot be matched by any other institution because here, discipline is not imposed, but understood.
From day one this institute instils in its pupils self-control, truthfulness, unselfishness and frankness.
This novel approach does create a misconception in some minds and SPS International is considered "less disciplined" at times. However, it is an indisputable fact that a majority of the Modernites have turned out to be super successful in their lives. Indomitable self confidence has become a the hallmark of a Modernite.


We've been watching Breaking Bad, which means hand sewing and binding time . . . which means both the Orange Consequences Quilt, and the Red Christmas Scrappy Trip are FINISHED!!!!
The UFO list is getting smaller and the "done" pile is getting bigger!
Love how bright that orange quilt is. And it's always good to be working your way through your UFO list!
Well done! That Orange is really quite striking!
All looking fab. Isn't Breaking Bad incredible - in very sense of the word?
What great finishes. Well done.
Beautiful finishes - I love the bright rich colours in Orange Consequences (and those lovely rose blocks in it!) :) I have to admit that I've never seen an episode of Breaking Bad - I bought the DVD's for my son a while ago but have never watched it myself, lol.


Guitars for Vets was so thrilled to have been selected as the charity of choice for a fundraising campaign facilitated by Worldwide Music Ventures, Long and McQuade & country music artist Dwight Yoakam between 3-8 March 2018.
This Guitars for Vets awareness campaign ran over the course of sold out concerts in each of the following cities: Kamloops, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Lethbridge and Calgary; and touched the hearts of thousands more across the country through social and traditional media. During each concert, Guitars for Vets hosted an information booth where thousands of pamphlets, Guitars for Vets logo guitar picks and contact cards were handed out. Since these concerts, the program has seen a significant increase in Veteran-student applications.
Long and McQuade/Yorkville Sound had also donated 5 beautiful Epiphone Casino Burst Guitars that were graciously signed by Dwight Yoakam and auctioned at each performance. The autographed guitars were a highlight of the concerts, and ultimately helped raise over $15,000 for Guitars for Vets, as well as a priceless amount of awareness.
Dwight Yoakam has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide, and is a 21-time nominated, multiple GRAMMY Award winner. Dwight has 12 gold albums and 9 platinum / multi-platinum albums, with five of those albums topping Billboard's Country Albums chart and another 14 landing in the Top 10. Nearly 40 of Yoakam's singles have charted on Billboard, with 14 peaking in the Top 10.

These partnerships developed as both Google and officials with the four state governments recognized that the public is increasingly turning to search engines like Google to access government services, but that a significant share of the information on state agency websites is not included in its index of information sources on the web. As a result, many online government services can be difficult for the public to find.
"Connecting citizens with their government by offering the public better access to public sector information and services is consistent with our broader vision – to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful," said Eric Schmidt, Google's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "These partnerships are among many that Google is pursuing with government agencies to better serve the public."
California joins Arizona, Utah and Virginia as one of the first states to partner with Google to improve accessibility of their online services.
"California state government provides tremendous resources online for the public to learn about our great state" said California Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger. "Our partnership with Google will empower Californians to know more about our government and provide better access to services and helpful information."
To improve access to state agency websites, technology managers in the four states increased the amount of state information that is accessible through a Google search.
This means job seekers in Utah can now search on Google for employment in the state and find job postings provided by the state's Department of Workforce Services. In Virginia, search engine users interested in the region's colonial history can now find a greater variety of online resources provided by the Commonwealth's archive, the Library of Virginia.
"Transparent digital government is a top priority in Virginia," said Tim Kaine, Governor of Virginia. "Our goal is to provide easy, quick and intuitive citizen access to every government resource. Google is helping us to achieve it."
Looking up information on education and health services in California has also become easier, as agencies in the state have begun opening their databases to search engine users. For Arizona home buyers, a Google search for real estate professionals now leads to records in the Department of Real Estate's database of licensed agents.
"Government must be innovative in order to offer the best possible services to citizens," said Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, Chair of the National Governors Association. "Through this Google partnership, Arizona is continuing to fulfill its responsibility to make state government as open and accessible as possible to the public."
While taking the step of opening more web pages to their citizens, the four states have also upgraded the search tool offered on some of their agency websites to encompass the full range of government information a citizen may be seeking. Using the Google Custom Search Engine™ service, the states of Virginia and Utah now provide visitors to Virgina.gov and Utah.gov the ability to search for information from all sectors of government. Now, a tourist considering a visit to either state can conduct one search to find information on parks and recreation, whether provided by a federal, state, or local government source.
Google has helped state officials implement these website improvements at no cost to the states. The Custom Search Engine service is free to government and private sector website owners.

Anthony Rouchier
Anthony Rouchier, aka A.P.P.A.R.T, is a French composer and musician who combines tango, electro, rock and classical music.
He opened up to music, starting with the guitar and studying electro-acoustics at the National Conservatory of Nice and at the CIRM (International Center for Music Research), then in Musicology at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis .
His first album Nu Tango, released in 2003, was born from an order for a group of 8 dancers from the Opéra National de Paris; he got a taste for it, embarked on the electronic adventure, and music for dance took an important part of his work.
A.P.P.A.R.T play live his music in France, in Europe and up to Japan; as musician, this stage logic was essential for him as much as composition.
Anthony Rouchier has released 8 albums, more than 50 creations for dance whether contemporary, classical or neo-classical. He also composes for the theater and creates several soundtracks for images, documentaries and video clips, as well as numerous artistic collaborations with independent and major labels.
Today, Anthony Rouchier's music seeks to find its rightful place in film music, part of the rhythmic and percussive work of composers like Jerry Goldsmith or an ambient and electro-acoustic universe like Cliff Martinez, who are two important and unconscious references of his work, where the feelings and the dramatic frame are at the base of his musical creations.
