WATCH: First look at the epic World War I drama, 1917
A scene from the 1917. (1917/Universal)
Cape Town - Sam Mendes, the Oscar-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to his World War I epic, 1917.
At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic's George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones' Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers— Blake's own brother among them.
The film is directed by Sam Mendes, who wrote the screenplay with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Showtime's Penny Dreadful).
1917 is due for release in South Africa in January 2020.

Any mum will tell you there's no predicting a bub's arrival, as original Hi-5 member Charli Robinson found out last month. The TV presenter and her partner welcomed their daughter four weeks early, just after Christmas.
The pair has finally released the first pictures of their precious bundle of joy – Kensington Claire, who is named after Liam's late father Ken.
Little Kensington made her early entrance into the world on December 27, after Charli's water broke on Boxing Day.
Despite doctors hoping they could delay the birth, Kensington had other plans and arrived after 15 hours of labour weighing a teeny 2.4 kilos. The 37-year-old new mum reveals that she sang Mariah Carey's, 'All I Want For Christmas' to her belly on Christmas day. It seems her little princess heard her!


Sorry I'm a little late on my blog income reports! But today, here they are!
October and November were absolutely crazy. I spent all of October preparing for our wedding and finishing my upcoming book, and I spent all of November well, getting married, going on our honeymoon, and moving into our new house!
LOL I did three of the most stressful things possible (writing a book, getting married, and moving/closing on a new house) all at the same time. I'm a genius, I know.
I was a complete crazy person during these months.
But I survived, and I'm so glad that's all over with.
Regardless of all the complete lunacy that surrounded my life in October and November, I still managed to bring in income from my blog.
So yea, not too bad for the craziest months of my life!
Now why do I share this with you guys? Because I think I'm soooo cool? Yea, definitely not.
I share it with you guys because I want you to know that it's totally possible to make money doing something you love.
When I first started blogging, I didn't even know making money online was a thing.
Today, It's just an amazing feeling to be able to pay my car payment with the money I make off the blog.
I actually just finished reading #GirlBoss for the first time, and I LOVED it! I've got so many ideas floating around in my head, and I'm more inspired than ever to keep learning and growing and making this blog profitable.
Do I have 100,000 page views? Um…nope!
But yea, some people think that it's impossible to make money blogging without these kinds of astronomical page views and social media followings.
I say, that's a bunch of crap.
Making money as a blogger isn't easy, though.
I tell everyone I know that it's like I work two jobs.
I have my day job, and when I get home around 5:30, I've got more work to do.
If I'm not writing posts, I'm taking photos. And if I'm not taking photos, I'm sending/responding to e-mails. When I'm not doing that, I'm reading other blogs and learning from what other successful bloggers are doing.
So no, it's not like I just make tons of money in my sleep, putting in no effort.
Successful bloggers are NOT lazy people.
They're some of the hardest working peeps that I know.
We're constantly going after new opportunities, and our blogs and our brands are constantly on our minds.
And that's coming from someone who started off with 3,370 page views in January of this year.
Significant progress can be made!
You just have to sleep a little less.
And in case you haven't heard, I've been offering 1-on-1 coaching sessions via phone to help bloggers take their blogs to the next level. So if you're interested, I'd love to chat with you! $25 for a one hour session. Would love to share any advice I can give you, and make a new friend along the way! Contact me here for additional info.
Rock on, Girl Boss! Love the honest and doability of your post. Blogging is hard work if you want to make a business of it and most people pass it off as an insignificant hobby. Little do they know. Good luck with your December!
I love reading peoples blog income posts. It makes me more motivated!
Also, I got married two weeks after I started a new job… I understand the crazy!
I love that you say bloggers aren't lazy people. Although I'm not making an income from blogging, I find that blogging (as a career) is very difficult. I cannot imagine how you do it while working another job, but it's so great to read success stories on people who are accomplishing and chasing their dreams. Congrats to you for doing so!
Wow, I loved reading this! You've given me hope!
I have been following you on IG (@garaytreasures) and saw your image for today and had to come on by. Other blogger Income reports really motivate me. I have made a couple hundred dollars each month these past two months like crazy various ways like you and it is hectic but definitely worth it. I hope I only get to make more per month as the new year rolls in. Thanks for the inspiration and congrats on your marriage, home and book.
Great! I have not made nearly that amount yet, but I've really just got started my monetization journey!
We're hustlers, all right! I feel like the work never ends, so I'm really impressed that you still did well during those crazy months. Definitely have to read Girlboss now–I've been wondering about the hype!
Thank you for sharing! I am always curious to see how people can actually make money blogging.
I love that you post this because it provides me with motivation to just keep my eyes open and not try to accomplish everything at once. Thanks for the insight!
YES this is awesome! Keep up your hard work lovely!
I love posts like these! I am actually going to make $600 in blogging income this month and I am stoked.
Thanks for sharing! I love seeing how others make money from their blog. I just started making an income from mine within the last couple months so it's super motivational to see how much others are making and how they're doing it.
I feel you on being SUPER busy as a blogger. Now that I have some good content I really need to work on the monetizing part of my blog…. A little something for all my time would be MUCH appreciated.
Omg i know how you feel trust me. I spend a lot of time blogging but im not seeing super awesome results with my blog income. I only made $240 last month which I guess is good for being a new blogger but I would like to increase that somehow.
Anyhow, I have updated you on The Ultimate List of Blogger Incomes!
I cannot believe how much work it sounds like to maintain a blog like yours. Do you have 29K total views or is that what you get every single month?
I need to look through your blog, but how do you get money from your blog? You just write sponsored posts?
This post makes me so happy! I just started my blog http://www.MillenniMama.com and I'm happy for every single view I get (obviously not many) but I feel like theres so much pressure to have thousands and thousands of views. This really put things in perspective and makes me feel a lot better so thank you so much!!

A very unique bean shaped belt bag, handcrafted at a local Polish workshop. Made with fully organic cowhide leather and exclusively tanned with natural plant products. Leather is strongly waxed, making it water resistant and stretchable. BELT and STRAPS included in the pack to transform into shoulder bag or beltbag. Pressed company name outside. ATOMY uses Lean Manufacturing to achieve short lead times, high quality products and rational use of resources to not produce waste. The smallest patch of skin that remains is being used to create smaller accessories.
Leather requires special care and attention to serve a long time and not miss its aesthetic value. Be sure to check CARE department to learn everything about leather goods maintenance.
ATOMY was founded in Gdansk, Poland by Monika Szymańska and Ula Skłodowska. As we know, Atomy are essential components of matter, which combine to form various molecules. Using this as inspiration, the ladies of ATOMY see their pieces as leather modules, which were designed in order to assemble them together and be played with. Every product can operate individually or combined to form a completely new piece, depending on your vision. All products are designed in an ergonomic way to not produce waste. The smallest patch of skin that remains after cutting material is being used to create smaller accessories. Monika and Ula believe that making conscious shopping choices has a positive effect not only on the environment, but also on ourselves. Items that surround us are more significant and serve us much longer, if they carry more personal value. ATOMY focuses on local production in Poland - using only regional materials and plants. This supports local creativity, which is not only an investment in the community, but also defines consumer awareness. All ATOMS are sewn by hand and made based on your specific vision.

Q: select query where clause with more than 1 value I have a column named ast_code

which I have already retrieved to a string variable. I'm trying to run a select query using a where clause based on the string value that I stored in that variable.
Here's the code I tried:
public void grid()
{
     datatable dt = new datatable();
     SqlDataAdapter adapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
     SqlCommand command = new SqlCommand();
     try
     {
     command.Connection = myConnection;
     command.CommandText = "SELECT code, name from table.menu where code <> '"+ ast_code + "'";
     adapter.SelectCommand = command;
            adapter.Fill(ds);
            adapter.Fill(dt);
            myConnection.Open();
     }
        catch(Exception ex)
        {
            MessageBox.Show("error" + ex);
        }
        myConnection.Close();
     gridControl1.DataSource = dt;
    }

When I ran the query, it returned no results unless the value in the string variable only contained one value (e.g. 0110300).
I then tried to transform the contents of the variable:
 ast_code = a.Replace(';',',').Replace(' ','\'');

but it returned an error due a missing '. Don't mind the a; it was a parsing variable value. I have already tried to store them to a list but that isn't working properly, either.
What I need to do is generate a where clause that can handle multiple values.
UPDATE
iam using @rbr94 suggestion ast_code = a.Replace("; ", "', '");
 command.CommandText = "SELECT code, name from table.menu where code not in '"+ ast_code + "'";

it works when iam using the top string value, but for the second row `string value give me an error

A: The error you get results from wrongly setting the ' in your where clause. I give an example:
You have a string like this: 0110300; 0110370
Then you use  ast_code = a.Replace(';',',').Replace(' ','\''); and this results in this: 0110300,'0110370. When you use this in your where clause it is obvious that this won't work:
where code <> '0110300,'0110370'

First of all use WHERE NOT IN and then you need to do the following:
C#:
ast_code = string.Format("'{0}'", a.Replace("; ","', '"));

SQL:
 where code NOT IN (" + ast_code + ")

 //results in
 where code NOT IN ('0110300','0110370')

This sets ' before and after your ast_code string. Then you replace your ; and the space after it with '; ' so that each value is encapsulated with ' marks on both sides.
This will result in this: '0110300', '0110370'

A: I think you have to use NOT IN in your statement like this:
command.CommandText = "SELECT code, name from table.menu where code NOT IN ('" + ast_code.Replace(";", "','") + "')";

A: so, my solution to my own problem is that first iam splitting it to store in a list<>
so iam just directly store the ast_code = a
and then the code i use to store
  string[] code_asst = ast_code.Split(';');
  List<string> clean_code_asst = new List<string>();
  foreach (string s in code_asst)
        {
            clean_code_asst.Add("'"+s.Trim()+"'");
        }
  string types = string.Join(",", clean_code_asst.ToArray());

for the query i use is
  var sql = "Select code from table.menu where code NOT IN ("+types+")";
  command.CommandText = sql;

Popular singer-actress Camille Metoyer Moten is a fun-loving, free-spirited soldier of faith.
That faith got tested starting with an April 2012 breast cancer diagnosis. After treatments and surgeries over two years she gratefully proclaims, "I am healed." Anyone unfamiliar with her spiritual side before discovered it once she began posting positive, faith-filled Facebook messages about her odyssey and ultimate healing, which she attributes to a Higher Power.
Metoyer Moten decided cancer was an experience she couldn't deny.
That extended to shares about weight gain and radiation burns.
Mainly, she was a vehicle for loving affirmations in a communal space.
What support most touched her?
"Probably just the amount of prayer," says Metoyer Moten, whose husband, Michael Moten, heads One Way Ministry. "Every time I said, 'Please pray,' there were people right there, and sometimes they would put their prayer right on the post, which was awesome. Some of the encouraging things they would say were really special. The Facebook people really did help to keep me lifted and encouraged and they said I did the same for them.
The sharing didn't stop at social media exchanges.
She's now writing a book from her Facebook posts.
She even believes she came out of it a better performer.
Fellow performers David Murphy and Jill Anderson walked with her on her journey. Now that they're battling their own health crises (Murphy's vision problems and Anderson's MS), Metoyer Moten is there for them.
She's glad her saga helps others but doesn't want cancer to define her.

Blogger Jo Middleton shares her favourite way to wrap Christmas presents.
First up, credit where credit is due - I had never even thought of having a Christmas wrapping theme until I met my lovely friend Kathie. Kathie opened my eyes to the wonder that is a wrapping theme, and I can honestly say it makes what could be a chore into something rather magical. This theme is inspired by her - I hope you love it as much as I do.
So what do you need to create an old fashioned Christmas post theme for your presents? Well, the beauty of this theme is that you actually need to spend very little, which is a good thing as this time of the year, I'm sure you'll agree.
Brown parcel paper - make sure you buy this from the envelope/packing section rather than just picking brown paper from the Christmas wrapping section - you'll get a lot more for your money.
Old Christmas stamps - I went to my local stamp shop and got a mixed bag of hundreds of stamps from around the world for less than £5. I then just picked out the Christmas ones, but you could use any.
Next, add your string if you haven't already. Start at the front, cross over at the back, and come back round to tie a bow.
Then have a look through your stamps to choose your favourites. Two or three in a group work well.
Stick your stamps onto the top right corner of your parcel, and add your own watermark for extra authenticity. If you have any Christmas ink stamps, you could use those here.
And there you have it, your Christmas parcel is complete! As promised, it's a very cheap and easy theme to make, but very effective. Nobody is going to be disappointed when you hand out your presents this year - not while they are still wrapped up at least!
Do you do anything special with your wrapping? If you have a theme, let us know on Twitter and Facebook.

Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI)
AHRI is a Biomedical research Institute in Ethiopia which is working in tuberculosis, HIV, malaria, Leishmaniasis, training and reaserch capcity building. AHRI is undergoing reform to transform itself to be an institute embracing research agenda which will have direct impact in development and transformation of population in Ethiopia and Africa. Involvement with EACCR will help AHRI to achieve it mission through capacity building and collaborative projects addressing regional and continental health issues. Besides AHRI can contribute to EACCR members through provision of training in Bioethics, GCP, and biomedical informatics. AHRI has played a key roll in institutionalizing Bioethics and is the home office for PABIN ( Pan African Bioethics Initiative)
Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) has got its name from the Norwegian physician, Gerhard Henrik Armauer Hansen, who first described the leprosy bacillus (Mycobacterium leprae) for the first time on 28 February 1873 and indeed was first to link a chronic infectious disease in humans to a microorganism. This happened in 1873, nine years before Robert Koch presented M. tuberculosis as a cause of human tuberculosis. It is a government institute for modern biomedical research particularly related to mycobacterial infection.
AHRI was founded in 1969 through the initiative of the Norwegian and Swedish Save the Children organizations seconded by the Ministry of Health of Ethiopia . The choice of Addis Ababa and Ethiopia for this endeavor came through the long-lasting good relation between the Nordic countries and Ethiopia .
But there were other site specific reasons as well. AHRI was erected next to a large hospital (ALERT – All Africa Leprosy Rehabilitation and Training Center ) for leprosy patients with both in-patient and a large out-patient service. This hospital was connected to a leprosy control unit, which was responsible for the field control of leprosy in the surrounding region with approximately 10 million inhabitants. In addition, a center for training of leprosy workers was also present on the large compound and thus the idea was that a combination of patient care, field control, research and training would make a dynamic composition.
When AHRI was founded, cellular immunology was starting to enter biomedical research on a large scale and immunological approaches have since then dominated the research profile of AHRI.
More than 350 papers in peer reviewed journals have been published from AHRI during its 37 years of existence. In addition, it has also produced a substantial number of theses and dissertations from international and Ethiopian scholars in biomedical research.
Among the more important scientific contributions that came out of AHRI/ALERT is the description of the mechanism of action of high dose steroids in reactional leprosy and the demonstration that specific immunological unresponsiveness in lepromatous leprosy could be reversed by up regulation of cytokines. AHRI/ALERT was also involved in demonstrating the first cases of Dapsone resistant leprosy which led to the WHO initiative of multi-drug treatment (MDT) of leprosy.
The first Director of the Institute was Prof. Morten Harboe, a nestor in mycobacterial research and a member of AHRI Board until 1996. Dr. Tore Godal, subsequently Director of The UNICEF-UNDP-World Bank-WHO Special Programme for Research and Training in Tropical Diseases (TDR) and later Executive Secretary of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) was its director from 1970-1975. Subsequent Directors included Dr Göran Kronvall (1973-75), Dr Ayele Belehu (1977-83), Dr Gunnar Bjune (1984-85), Prof Sven Britton (1985-86) (1997-99), Dr Rolf Kiessling (1986-88), Dr Dominique Frommel (1988-93), Dr Häkan Miörner (1993-95) and Dr Fisseha Haile Meskal (1999-2002). The current Scientific Director is Dr Howard Engers (2003-), formerly Vaccine Discovery Research Manager, Disease Coordinator (Leprosy, Dengue) and focal point for Research Capability Strengthening, Ethics Review and Initiative for Vaccine Research (IVR) at TDR.

How do you come up with good A/B test ideas?
Do you look over your website and take a guess? Perhaps you do a Google search and look for test ideas that others are using? Many people take these approaches, and come up with a "test checklist" to work their way through.
The most important reason why those methods are inefficient is that they're just guesses and anecdotes from other people. They're not based on any form of solid data from your own website, they're more of a "throw things at a wall and see what sticks" method.
If you're going to test in this fashion, you need to prepare yourself for a significant fail rate. Wouldn't you rather set yourself up with a clear process that helps you to prioritize areas for testing?
In order to do this, you need to base your test ideas upon data that you have already. This doesn't completely eliminate guesswork, but it means that when you devise a test, you're basing it on data, or educated guesses, not something you plucked from the internet or thin air.
How can you find that data and generate good test ideas?
At a glance, Google Analytics can seem quite overwhelming. There are many potential data points, and it can be difficult to know where to begin. To narrow it down, think about the key actions you'd like website visitors to take. Where are those happening, or not happening?
Your aim is to identify pages on your website that have the best potential for improvement through testing. This avoids simply testing random pages or testing pages that already perform very well and won't see a significant uplift.
The pages you should prioritize for testing include those that have high amounts of traffic, but overall poor performance (people aren't doing what you want them to). These might include landing pages and specific steps in your funnel where visitors are dropping off.
Top landing pages Landing pages with a lot of traffic, but high bounce rates.
User flows See where users go after their initial entry. Look for common drop-offs.
Conversions per browser Do some browsers perform much better than others? Could there be something in how your website renders in particular browsers?
Conversions and bounce rate per device Find out which devices get more conversions and which need improvement.
Site speed Identify pages with high traffic and slow loading speeds.
New vs. Returning Visitors (Per Channel) New vs. returning visitors in itself is not especially useful for testing, but it becomes more useful if broken down into marketing channels. Particularly pay attention to the channels that get more returning visitors.
One simple (and often relatively quick) way of finding useful test ideas is to get quality feedback from your website visitors. This means evaluating your website by testing it with users who are representative of your "ideal" user.
You will want to ask questions about the user experience, get users to complete key tasks (like finding a specific product and checking out), and find out what they have to say about things they like or dislike.
The feedback you gather, particularly on anything they find difficult or dislike, can be very valuable for devising tests to look for better conversions. There are several services out there that can help you run usability testing if you don't have the time or are not sure where to begin with setup. Check out sites like Hotjar (which actually covers several features we mention in this post).
These follow along similar lines to usability testing, except that usually, you would ask just one question on a page, to give yourself a better chance that a visitor will answer it. Usually, you would devise the question so that it closely aligns with key goals for the page.
Of course, not every visitor will answer your question, but the hope is that enough will so that you get a reasonable amount of data. Just be careful to ensure your question is relatively simple to understand and answer.
You can expect that somewhere around three out of ten of your A/B tests will be "winners" – demonstrating a significant uplift. However, those that were losers don't have to be written off as a waste of time – there is plenty to be learned from a losing test.
Put that data from those tests to use. A/B testing is an iterative process and should be repeated to be effective. For example, where a test was too close to call, you analyze the results, tweak the treatment and devise a new hypothesis. You are able to narrow down what your customer preferences are, and get more ideas for further testing.
Mouse tracking is useful for recording and analyzing what people do on your site with their mouse – what are they paying attention to?
There are a few different tools available to install that can help you with this. As a general rule, areas that show up in red mean there is a lot of action, while blue means slim to none.
How far (or if) people scroll down the page.
This sort of data allows you to think about elements such as where features are placed on the page, or what people pay the most attention to.
Mouse tracking is one form of heat map – there are also those that track eye movement to analyze what captures the attention of the user. The point is that you can capture details that you won't know from simple analytics reports. The data is very visual and easy to understand.
Session replays are another good way to collect feedback directly from the user. You can use software that records user sessions, showing you exactly where they went, what they did, and what the outcome was. These are a great way to discover which parts of your website users seem to have the most trouble with. Do you notice common patterns with people getting stuck?
If you have a chat app enabled for your website, most of the time when customers reach out, it's about some kind of question, frustration or confusion, right? This makes those chat transcripts a valuable source of raw data for potential testing ideas. What do you get a lot of questions about?
Even general queries can provide a testing opportunity. Perhaps it's time to update descriptions so that they answer more of the questions you get? How many people might abandon the website because they can't find an answer?
Successful A/B testing doesn't happen off the cuff, it is based upon research and the use of solid data to generate good test ideas.
Rather than taking a guess or running tests because someone on the internet had success with the same kind, look to the various sources of data you have at your disposal, to formulate likely hypotheses.
You can always expect that some tests will not be successful, but basing tests on data can greatly improve your success rate.

Driverless cars are a "potential lethal weapon," but could make surveillance "more effective and easier," the FBI claims in an internal report surfaced by the Guardian.
Risks highlighted by the FBI include the ability for "bad actors" to "conduct tasks that require use of both hands or taking one's eyes off the road which would be impossible today." Other concerns include the potential ability to override safety features and the creation of self-driving bombs, the Guardian writes.
Sadly, the Guardian did not release the FBI report in full.


This artist's rendering shows the tidal disruption event named ASASSN-14li, where a star wandering too close to a 3-million-solar-mass black hole was torn apart. The debris gathered into an accretion disk around the black hole. New data from NASA's Swift satellite show that the initial formation of the disk was shaped by interactions among incoming and outgoing streams of tidal debris.

Tomb KV7 in the Valley of the Kings was the final resting place of ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II ("Ramesses the Great") of the Nineteenth Dynasty. It is located in the main valley, opposite the tomb of his sons, KV5, and near to the tomb of his son and successor, Merenptah, KV8. Unlike other tombs in the area, Tomb KV7 was placed in an unusual location and has been badly damaged by the flash floods that periodically sweep through the valley.

Decoration and layoutEdit
Map of KV7
KV7 follows the bent-axis plan of tombs of the earlier Eighteenth Dynasty. The burial chamber has a sunken central area and a vaulted ceiling. Much of the decoration has been damaged beyond repair – its section of the Valley is particularly susceptible to flash floods – but it would have been decorated with the standard Book of Gates, Amduat and Litany of Ra.
The mummy was relocated to the mummy cache in DB320, and the tomb was reused in the Third Intermediate and Roman periods for burials and by early tourists.

Willow Springs International Raceway (WSIR), the "Fastest Road in the West" is the oldest purpose-built road course in North America and has remained virtually unchanged since its creation in 1953. The 2.5 mile nine-turn track earned its nickname from its medium to high-speed corners including the infamous Turns 8 and 9. While not the most technical track out there, "Big Willow" puts the mechanical and aero grip of a car to the test while high horsepower cars can see over 160mph. Because of this, the average speed of a car is faster here than almost any other track in the country. The words "ballsy" are often thrown around when talking about WSIR.
While the straightaway speeds and corresponding brake application can vary greatly between a Spec Miata and my 800hp NSX, it is important to find a static point (no rocks, cones, or rabbits) to judge your braking points at. While I had significant threshold braking from over 160mph, a lower horsepower car might only briefly 'brush' of the brakes. In both cases a reference point is crucial for having consistent entry speeds that will lead to improved lap times.
Most of the turns at WSIR are long sweeping corners that really bring out the steady-state balance of a car. I often see people who are new to the track turn-in too quickly and have overly aggressive steering inputs. It is important to be smooth and turn in with much slower hands than you are use to around the long corners of this track.
Turn 1 is a 90 degree left-hand corner with a lot of banking to it that can sling-shot you through the corner when using the banking effectively. Turn in a little early with VERY slow hands while trailing off the brakes to load the right side of the car up. Tighten your hands to get down to the apex curbing while starting to apply maintenance throttle. Stay close to the curbing for a long apex and use the added grip from the banking in the middle of the corner to get the majority of the turning done. Depending on the balance and power of the car, squeeze to full throttle. Once you can see down the next straight, slowly release the car to track out. It's important to not track-out early since the banking falls away at the end of the corner. Make sure to "release" the car to track-out, you don't want the car to be bound-up, scrubbing the front tires with a lot of steering input at track-out.
Enter the corner from the middle-to-left side of the road. It's not always necessary to turn-in from the edge of the road but it's important to not 'creep' to the right side of the road before the turn even starts. Turn in with slow hands to load the suspension up so it's stable and not 'wallowing' around at the apex. Apex early and in the middle of the turn, slowly let the car drift 1-1.5 car widths from the right side of the road (which I did not do in the video). Pick up maintenance throttle and be patient to tighten the line to the second apex which is pretty late in the corner and almost blind until you get there. Slowly tighten the line back to the right side of the road as you apply full throttle and apex just when you can see the next straight. Since the road looses camber/banking at the end of the corner, it is important to have a late apex and release the car to track-out. It is not necessary to track-out all the way to the left side of the road, but it is very important to get back to the right side of the road to set up for braking into T3.

Like it or not, Valentine's Day is almost upon us and if you're in a relationship, you're probably just starting to brainstorm a plan for the big day. Now, some people aren't particularly in love with this lovey-dovey holiday, but others take it very seriously. When deciding how to celebrate with your significant other, of course you could always just ask them how they want to spend the day, or you could consider making a plan for them based on their zodiac sign. Seriously! Your zodiac sign can impact everything from your personality traits to your likes and dislikes, so here are 12 Valentine's Day date ideas based on people's zodiac signs.
I personally love all things zodiac and usually read a horoscope or a zodiac sign analysis and think "This is so me." Zodiac signs can explain a lot about your personality, they can give you insight to compatibility between two people, and can also shed light on a person attitude towards a holiday like Valentine's Day. Certain signs are more skeptical and practical (I'm looking at you Capricorn and Sagittarius) while other signs are super romantic and feel all the feels (Hi, Libra and Taurus!) So when making your plans for this Valentine's Day take a look at your honey's horoscope zodiac sign to find some sweet inspiration!
Aries is confident, competitive, and loves to win, so chances are they'll have something epic planned for their loved one this Valentine's Day. And then, naturally, they expect the love to be returned. The best way to pamper Aries on V-Day is to literally pamper them with a spa day! Nothing is more indulgent than a day at the spa that includes massages, facials, mani pedis, and whatever else Aries' big heart desires. Even if your budget is more strip mall nail salon than glam hotel spa, Aries will still feel totally decadent and adored.
Taurus is organized, dependable, and loves to stay in their lane. That being said, they're also one of the most emotional and sensual signs of the zodiac, which means that Valentine's Day is a BFD to them. Combine Taurus' love for following the rules with their emotional nature and create a romantic scavenger hunt for them! Taurus will relish following clues to your first date spot, to a boutique where a small gift awaits them, and finally to your favorite local restaurant. Taurus' sense of pride at accomplishing the treasure hunt will leave them truly starry-eyed.
Gemini is impulsive, excitable, and extremely charming, and can be both thrilling and frustrating romantic partners. They're intoxicating with their passion for adventure and their undeniable charisma, yet their inability to stick to a decision, opinion, or hair color can sometimes leave their partner throwing up their hands. So, this Valentine's Day, put three options of date ideas in a hat and have your flighty Gemini pick one blindly. Whether they choose a movie date, a whiskey tasting, or a home-cooked dinner, they'll feel the thrill of leaving their (and your) V-Day fate to chance.
Cancer is creative, spontaneous, and super devoted to those they love and trust. Cancer can be very cautious when it comes to opening their hearts and lives to another person, but once you're in — you're in. Valentine's Day is a special day to Cancer because they value their relationship and bond with their significant other very deeply and love any excuse to celebrate it. Since Cancer's home is a safe and treasured place for them, stay home this Valentine's Day. Order in, decorate with flowers, and light some scented candles. Just spending time face to face with your Cancer will mean the world to them.
Leo is bright, energetic, and loves to be in the spotlight. That's why this sign, perhaps more than any other sign, appreciates showmanship and bravado. This Valentine's Day, get your Leo all dressed up and take them to a magic show! Even though your Leo won't be the center of attention, they'll enjoy marveling at magic tricks, and there's also a pretty good chance that they will be chosen out of the audience to help in a trick or two.
Virgo is loyal, hardworking, and practical, so they rarely splurge on themselves. However, Virgo really does appreciate the finer things in life and loves being pampered, having new experiences, and of course — being with their sweetie. For Valentine's Day this year, book a night at a local hotel. It's an extravagance, but one that makes the day truly feel like a special occasion. There's nothing quite like sleeping in a hotel bed, soaking in a deep tub, and ordering up some delicious room service to make Virgo feel like the only star in the sky.
Fancy Valentine's Day dinners were basically made for Libras. This sign is particularly in love with love, thrive in relationships, and love to be on equal footing with their partners. They will likely have something sweet and thoughtful to give their honey, but they definitely enjoy being pampered in return. Now, a fancy dinner might mean a restaurant with a set menu for the evening, or a well-planned and prepared menu for a home-cooked, candle lit meal. Either way, your Libra will love the gesture of a special occasion.
Scorpio is intense, emotional, and deeply passionate, which means they can sometimes assign way too much meaning to a specific day or event. That's why this is the zodiac sign most likely to be very "meh" about Valentine's Day. That doesn't mean they want to sit home alone staring at the wall, so instead of doing something classically V-Day like a fancy dinner out, take your Scorpio to an escape room! That way they can focus their intensity on getting out within the time frame, instead of dwelling on expectations and perhaps ending the night disappointed.
Sagittarius is intelligent, curious, and loves adventure, so while their intellect tells them that Valentine's Day is a holiday created to sell chocolates and card, their curiosity and sense of adventure can still find pleasure in celebrating V-Day with a new experience like seeing a play or a musical. Theater scratches Sagittarius' cultural itch, and is a great excuse to get all dressed up.
Capricorn is ambitous, disciplined, and wise, and they can also be fairly pessimistic — which they'll say is just being realistic. So Valentine's Day can feel frivolous and silly to them, and spending a ton of time and money might not necessarily be satisfying to them. Capricorn values concrete, tangible things so this Valentine's Day, plant a tree in your honey's honor. By adding to a national forest or a national park, Capricorn will love knowing your gift to them actually helped make the world a better place.
Aquarius is friendly, optimistic, and driven to make the world a better place for everyone. They can also be a little detached, and don't assign a lot of meaning to a holiday like Valentine's Day. Aquarius would be really happy to celebrate Valentine's Day by doing something worthwhile, like volunteering. I know, I know… volunteering might not seem particularly "fun," but spending a few hours helping those less fortunate actually will make both of you feel really good.
Pisces is artistic, creative, and emotional. While they love philosophy and endless deep talks, they also really like to get their hands dirty and create something. For Valentine's Day book up lesson on at a pottery studio. Your honey can learn a new skill, create something and feel connected to the earth, what with all that clay under their fingernails.
However you and your sweetheart decide to celebrate (or not celebrate) Valentine's Day this year, just rememeber that it's a time to focus on your relationship, your love for each other, and the connection you continue to build. While flowers, chocolates, and magic shows are super fun, love is what really matters.

Q: CSCore: possible, to cut audio files Is it possible to cut an audio file using CSCore-Library? For example I want to start a mp3 on second 20 and stop it on second 50 and I want to generate a new mp3 file, which does that.

A: There are two ways to cut a mp3 file.

*

*Parse the mp3 file to get all mp3 frames. Copy the frames you don't want to be cut out and paste them into a new stream.

*Decode the whole mp3 file and re-encode the data you don't want to be cut out.

The first method has the disadvantages that it is more complicated than method 2 and that you can't cut the mp3 precisely. That means, that you are restricted to the size of the mp3 frames.
The second method would be exactly what you are looking for. But there is one big problem: MP3-encoding is only supported since Windows 8. That means that you can't use this method in Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7.
--> I would recommend you to use any third-party components like lame, ffmpeg,...
Anyway... an example for method 2:
private static void Main(string[] args)
{
    TimeSpan startTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(20);
    TimeSpan endTimeSpan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(50);

    using (IWaveSource source = CodecFactory.Instance.GetCodec(@"C:\Temp\test.mp3"))
    using (MediaFoundationEncoder mediaFoundationEncoder =
        MediaFoundationEncoder.CreateWMAEncoder(source.WaveFormat, @"C:\Temp\dest0.mp3"))
    {
        AddTimeSpan(source, mediaFoundationEncoder, startTimeSpan, endTimeSpan);
    }
}

private static void AddTimeSpan(IWaveSource source, MediaFoundationEncoder mediaFoundationEncoder, TimeSpan startTimeSpan, TimeSpan endTimeSpan)
{
    source.SetPosition(startTimeSpan);

    int read = 0;
    long bytesToEncode = source.GetBytes(endTimeSpan - startTimeSpan);

    var buffer = new byte[source.WaveFormat.BytesPerSecond];
    while ((read = source.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) > 0)
    {
        int bytesToWrite = (int)Math.Min(read, bytesToEncode);
        mediaFoundationEncoder.Write(buffer, 0, bytesToWrite);
        bytesToEncode -= bytesToWrite;
    }
}
