Q: Where is my mistake? Cannot delete or update a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails I'm trying to delete brands and vendors from my database, they are related to each other and brand is related to a product, I'm deleting these relationships before doing the final delete (at least I think I am) and I'm getting this error and I'm not sure what I'm missing. Originally in the brand model there was no relationship to the product, the relationship was in the product model. I've added the relationship to the brand model with no luck, still the same result.
Table structure
Schema::create('vendors', function (Blueprint $table)
        {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('image')->nullable();
            $table->timestamps();
        });

Schema::create('brands', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('name')->nullable();
            $table->integer('vendor_id')->unsigned();;
            $table->foreign('vendor_id')->references('id')->on('vendors');
            $table->timestamps();
        });

Schema::create('products', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('code');

            $table->timestamps();

            $table->foreign('brand_id')->references('id')->on('brands');
        });

Models and Relationships
class Vendor extends Model
{
    protected $hidden = ['created_at','updated_at'];

    public function  brands(){
        return $this->hasMany(Brand::class);
    }
}

class Brand extends Model
{
    public function vendor() {
        return $this->belongsTo(Vendor::class);
    }

    public function products() {
        return $this->hasMany(Product::class);
    }

}

class Product extends Products
{
    public function brand()
        {
            return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class);
        }
}

Destroy Functions in the Controllers
Vendor destroy function
public function destroy($id)
    {
        DB::beginTransaction();
        $vendor = Vendor::findOrFail($id);
        $vendor->brands()->delete();
        $vendor->delete();
        DB::commit();

    }

Brand destroy function
public function destroy($id)
    {
        DB::beginTransaction();
        $brand= Brand::findOrFail($id);
        $brand->vendor()->delete();
        $brand->products()->delete();
        $brand->delete();
        DB::commit();
    }

Product destroy funcion
public function destroy($id)
    {
        $product = Product::findOrFail($id);
        DB::beginTransaction();
        $product->sizes()->detach();
        $product->tags()->detach();
        $product->fields()->detach();
        $product->countries()->detach();
        $this->removeProductImage($product);
        $product->exportationFactors()->delete();
        $product->delete();
        DB::commit();
    }

when I try to delete a Vendor I recieve this error
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update
 a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`sondel`.`products`, CONSTRAINT
`products_brand_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`brand_id`) REFERENCES `brands`
(`id`)) (SQL: delete from `brands` where `brands`.`vendor_id` = 1 and
`brands`.`vendor_id` is not null)

and when I try to delete a Brand I have basically the same error
SQLSTATE[23000]: Integrity constraint violation: 1451 Cannot delete or update
a parent row: a foreign key constraint fails (`sondel`.`brands`, CONSTRAINT
`brands_vendor_id_foreign` FOREIGN KEY (`vendor_id`) REFERENCES `vendors`
(`id`)) (SQL: delete from `vendors` where `vendors`.`id` = 1)

A: Add onDelete('cascade') on every $table->foreign('<Column>') you have.
Example:
$table->foreign('vendor_id')->references('id')->on('vendors')->onDelete('cascade');

Then no need to delete all the children first, just delete the parent.

A: If you want to always delete all child relationships when deleting a record, you can do it in the boot function of the model on the deleting method. Something like this:
Vendor Model
class Vendor extends Model
{
    public static function boot() {
        parent::boot();
        // when you are deleting a Vendor, also delete all related brands
        static::deleting(function($vendor){
            $vendor->brands->each(function($brand) {
                $brand->delete();
            });
        });
    }

    protected $hidden = ['created_at','updated_at'];

    public function  brands(){
        return $this->hasMany(Brand::class);
    }
}

Brand Model
class Brand extends Model
{
    public static function boot() {
        parent::boot();
        // when you are deleting a Brand, also delete all related products
        static::deleting(function($brand){
            $brand->products->each(function($product) {
                $product->delete();
            });
        });
    }

    public function vendor() {
        return $this->belongsTo(Vendor::class);
    }

    public function products() {
        return $this->hasMany(Product::class);
    }
}

Product Model
class Product extends Products
{
    public static function boot() {
        parent::boot();
        // when you are deleting a Product, also delete/detach all you need
        static::deleting(function($product){
            /*
            $product->sizes()->detach();
            $product->tags()->detach();
            $product->fields()->detach();
            $product->countries()->detach();
            $product->exportationFactors->each(function($exportationFactor) {
                $exportationFactor->delete();
            });
            */
        });
    }

    public function brand()
        {
            return $this->belongsTo(Brand::class);
        }
}

Then in your controllers just delete the record corresponding to each controller.
Vendor destroy function
public function destroy($id)
{
    DB::beginTransaction();
    Vendor::findOrFail($id)->delete();
    DB::commit();

}

Brand destroy function
public function destroy($id)
{
    DB::beginTransaction();
    Brand::findOrFail($id)->delete();
    DB::commit();
}

Product destroy funcion
public function destroy($id)
{
    $product = Product::findOrFail($id);
    DB::beginTransaction();
    $this->removeProductImage($product);
    $product->delete();
    DB::commit();
}

A: The problems you are having is in the products table, There is 2 ways you can solve this problem:
Solution 1:
Just like Yovi's answer states, you could simply add onDelete('cascade') to your foreign key on your brands & products table.
brands table:
$table->foreign('vendor_id')->references('id')->on('vendors')->onDelete('cascade');

products table:
$table->foreign('brand_id')->references('id')->on('brands')->onDelete('cascade');

Then your controllers destroy method should look like this:
vendor destroy function:
public function destroy($id)
{
    $vendor = Vendor::findOrFail($id);
    $vendor->delete();

}

brands destroy method:
public function destroy($id)
{
    $brand= Brand::findOrFail($id);
    $brand->delete();
}

Solution 2:
If you want to delete your rows manually, you just have the wrong order set on your destroy methods. You must first delete the youngest child starting at products -> brands -> vendors. Your methods should look like this:
Vendor destroy function:
public function destroy($id)
{
    DB::beginTransaction();
    $vendor = Vendor::findOrFail($id);

    foreach($vendor->brands() as $brand){
        $brand->products()->delete();
    }

    $vendor->brands()->delete();
    $vendor->delete();
    DB::commit();
}

Brand destroy function:
public function destroy($id)
{
    DB::beginTransaction();
    $brand= Brand::findOrFail($id);
    $brand->products()->delete();
    $brand->delete();
    DB::commit();
}

Overall I find solution 1 to be a lot cleaner.


As social media continues to infiltrate our daily lives, we rely upon it for more and more. Whether it be communication, news, shopping or entertainment, platforms such as Facebook are increasingly worming their way into every niche imaginable. For businesses in search of new customers and brands who want to gain visibility, performing well on social media is essential.
It is arguably impossible to achieve explosive and sustainable growth on social media without both a strategy and a set of tools to monitor progress. As it turns out, there are dozens of formidable utilities available that can help brands keep an eye on their social media enterprises. Below, we'll look at three top contenders that can help your brand grow on social media even more.
For those who are looking for the tried and tested, Mention is one of the oldest social media monitoring utilities available. With a free trial available and plans for as little as $29 per month, Mention provides a monitoring solution that largely revolves around search functions. With this utility, brands can scour all mentions over the past 24 hours and discover what people are saying about the brand on Facebook, Twitter and a host of other platforms. This utility also integrates easily with apps such as Slack, making it easy for groups to integrate data and results with existing work-related tasks.
Some utilities for monitoring social media only focus on individual platforms, but nevertheless do their precise jobs effectively. TweetDeck is an absolutely free utility for monitoring social media activity and is well-known among those who use Twitter as a premiere solution. Given that Twitter is one of the more common venues for user-brand communications, keeping an eye on what's happening there just makes sense. TweetDeck works by pinging links, tweets and relevant mentions directly to your desktop or mobile device, making it easy to always see the bigger picture.
For brands and businesses that are both larger and have an extensive social media presence, the Brandwatch tool is a highly useful utility. Designed at its core to make the interdepartmental marketing game more streamlined, organizing workflow via Brandwatch is easy. Incorporating an array of social media metrics and analytics, even the pickiest of marketing gurus and data geeks will be pleased with the analytic offerings it provides. From demographic breakdowns to information valuable for market research, this premium solution ($500 per month) is the end-all, be-all for big businesses.
Generating buzz and attention on social media is about more than just pinging links and content to your audience. A key element in growing and succeeding revolves around analyzing your existing performance. These three utilities each offer specific benefits for specific brands, whether your audience is large or small.
Do You Know How Many Links You Have on Twitter?

Biografia
Originario di una famiglia di rango senatorio proveniente dalla Campania (forse da Abellinum o da Pompeii), Livineio era sicuramente imparentato, anche se non è sicuro in che modo, con Lucio Livineio Regolo, da identificare forse con l'amico di Cicerone esiliato attorno al 58 a.C., ma in ogni caso pretore prima del 43 a.C. (e forse prima dell'esilio), e con il figlio omonimo del precedente, da identificare probabilmente con il legatus legionis di Cesare durante la sua guerra d'Africa nel 46 a.C. e in ogni caso quattuorvir monetalis tra 43 e 42 a.C. e probabilmente praefectus urbi temporaneo sotto il secondo triumvirato.

Ben poco è certo della carriera di Livineio. È stato ipotizzato che fosse lui il tresvir monetalis attestato per il 10/9 a.C., così come anche il praetor peregrinus del 2 a.C. In ogni caso, Livineio sembra aver goduto di buoni rapporti con i Calpurnii Pisones, a loro volta vicini a Tiberio: fu verosimilmente questa vicinanza a promuovere Livineio, primo della sua famiglia e attorno ai 50 anni, al consolato come suffetto dal maggio al luglio del 18 insieme al figlio del princeps Germanico, impegnato in Oriente. L'ultima attestazione di Livineio lo testimonia come difensore, insieme a Marco Emilio Lepido e a Lucio Calpurnio Pisone, di Gneo Calpurnio Pisone al processo intentato contro di lui nel 20 dagli amici di Germanico.

Dopo il processo, Livineio scompare dalla storia; è però noto un Livineio Regolo di rango senatorio, espulso dal senato prima del 47 ed esiliato dal tribunale senatorio nel 59 in seguito ai violenti scontri tra Pompeiani e Nocerini in occasione di giochi gladiatorii dati da lui stesso a Pompeii: considerata l'età, è verosimile che questo fosse il figlio del console del 18.

Q: German character ß uppercased in SS I figured out, that "ß" is converted to "SS" when using uppercased(). But I want compare if two strings are equal without being case sensitive.
So when comparing "gruß" with "GRUß" it should be the same as well as when comparing "gru" with "Gru".
There is no uppercase "ß" in german language! Because I don't know which other characters aren't available in the corresponding languages, I could not filter all the caracters, which have no 1:1 uppercased opponent.
What can I do?

A: Use caseInsensitiveCompare() instead of converting the strings
to upper or lowercase:
let s1 = "gruß"
let s2 = "GRUß"

let eq = s1.caseInsensitiveCompare(s2) == .orderedSame
print(eq) // true

This compares the strings in a case-insensitive way according to
the Unicode standard.
There is also localizedCaseInsensitiveCompare() which does
a comparison according to the current locale, and
s1.compare(s2, options: .caseInsensitive, locale: ...)

for a case-insensitive comparison according to an arbitrary given
locale.

A: Well, "GRUß" is non-sensical in the first place for the reasons you state. You can't throw arbitrary data at a computer and expect it to process it in a sane way :-) If you have to deal with invalid input, you should probably have a preprocessing phase which cleans up crap you know about.
Having said that, this works (Swift 3.0):
let grusz = "GRUß"
let gruss = "GRUSS"
if grusz.compare(gruss, options: .caseInsensitive) == .orderedSame {
   print("MATCHES")
}

Every year since we moved into this apartment overlooking Stan Wadlow Park in the fall of 2005, I've looked forward to the last couple of days of June and the makeover the park below us receives in anticipation of East York's Canada Day celebrations. I've taken pictures of the slow transformation most of those years; in 2009 a strike caused the cancellation of the event and, for some reason I can't explain, in 2008 I simply didn't photograph the events at all. Tomorrow, July 1, is the really big day around here as the view from our balcony of the midway and other activities is incredible, surpassed only by the eye-level fireworks display that counts as not-to-be-missed for as long as we do live here. I'm a bit concerned about the scope of the midway this year, however, as this picture was taken at dinnertime tonight and as of this writing - about 9PM - there have been virtually no additions to what you see in the photo above. I realize that many of these ride and midway technicians are used to working through the night to get everything set up and today was not the best day to work outside due to the heat; however, this is the most incomplete I have ever seen the park as the sun has set on June 30. I guess I'll have to see what happens when we get up tomorrow for the parade.
Every year since we first moved into the area the midway seems to get a little smaller. It's entirely possible that all the trucks that are going to arrive are already here and that's quite disappointing. I tried to find out where the funding comes from for the day's activities, but have so far been unable to uncover that information. In any event, it's easy to imagine that wherever the budget comes from it's likely been cut a little each year like many other activities in this city. The East York Canada Day celebrations have always been among the biggest and the best in Toronto and it would be a shame to see them die out completely, so I hope they begin to bounce back in the next few years. In the above picture you can see that the rides and booths were very sparse last July 1 and I was quite shocked when I realized that they were done setting things up at this point. If you look closely near the top of this picture, in left field on the baseball diamond behind the midway, you will see the fireworks being prepared for the evening's display. Hopefully this will give you some idea of just how incredible our vantage point is for that show.
Another nice ingredient of the Canada Day Celebrations here in East York is the Kiwanis pool, nestled between the rink and the school at the edge of Stan Wadlow Park. Some years the pool hasn't opened until July 1, but this year it was ready to go last Saturday and has been well-attended this week, especially during the recent heatwave. It was closed the summer of the strike but also the year following when a contractor who had been hired on to refurbish the pool over the winter and spring bailed on the project when it was too late to bring in somebody new to get it up and running for the summer. That was an awful blow for many of the people around here, especially in this building because there is no air-conditioning (unless you buy your own). The repair job and re-landscaping, once they were finally completed, are fantastic; it's just a shame it took two years to complete the project.
One last glance out the window, now that the sun is set, and I see no more trucks on the field. Technicians were working by flashlight a few moments ago but even those have been extinguished right now. I have a bad feeling that this will be the smallest midway yet.
I'll take some pictures of the parade and the fair itself tomorrow and post them on a new blog piece. If it happens to be raining, I'll fake it with pictures from last year. Either way, there will be photos.
Before I sign off, I want to wish my good friend Alex a very happy 40th birthday today. It's also Sarah's mom's birthday, as luck would have it, so a happy birthday to her as well. Two of my favourite people in the world having birthdays on the same day. Very special!
Very interesting to compare the views of the midway and fair from year to year!
Thanks, Sar! I don't know what happened in 2008 that caused me to not film the assembly of the midway, though. Very strange.

Jonathan BAUER-MONNERET – Best French Sommelier 2014
Jonathan Bauer-Monneret : a Wine prodigy crowned in 2014
Best French Sommelier 2014
Experience in Luxury hotels and Fine-dining restaurants
Owner on his own place in Toronto since 2018
Born on the 25th July 1985 in Strasbourg, Jonathan went on to study at Illkirch hotel school. He initially wanted to become a cook but changed his plans and, guided by his taste for contacts and sharing, chose to be a wine waiter.
He quickly mastered the different vineyards of the Alsace region in northern France and in 2006 he joined our wine waiter team at the Constance Hotels Experience. Jonathan now has a fantastic knowledge of the wines of the new world – but he's always learning and increasing his expertise while working alongside Jérôme Faure.
"We work at the Blue Penny Café with a wine list of 300 French wines and some 300 more from different countries of the southern hemisphere," says Jonathan. Jonathan is determined, ambitious and always smiling – and he loves his work.
From the title of Best Young Sommelier of France – Duval Leroy Trophy in 2009 to Best French Sommelier in 2014
When the results were announced, Jonathan Bauer-Monneret, who was attending his first final, showed great joy. Having already won the title of Best Young Sommelier of France – Duval Leroy Trophy in 2009, his talent has now brought him another step higher.
The Alsatian aged 29 who works at Restaurant Spring in Paris has his name registered on the list of winners, five years after he got the title of Best Young Sommelier of France.
A discreet enthusiast who masterly played the finals in Beaune, in the heart of Burgundy, and welcomed by the BIVB.
In autumn 2009, Jonathan Bauer-Monneret surprised the fans of contests by winning the title of Best Young Sommelier of France—Duval-Leroy Trophy. He then used to work in the Indian Ocean, within the Mauritian group Constance. "It was my first job after my studies at the vocational school Alexandre Dumas in Illkirch-Graffenstaden. That is where I used for the first time my complementary mention sommellerie that I passed at Antoine Woerlé's side. Jérôme Faure, Prince Maurice head sommelier, supported me when I talked about this contest …"
A few months later, the man from Strasbourg came back to France, beside Manuel Peyrondet, at Royal Monceau and tried his luck at the elders' contest. With a lukewarm result. Semi-finalist in Fontevraud, he attended the finals in the audience. "Two years later, in Marseille, I didn't do better!"
Youth in power
This year, at last, he was in the last batch of candidates and experienced the thrills of finals played in front of a public. And in the theatre La Lanterne Magique that was full with 500 persons and real supporters of the candidates, Jonathan Bauer-Monneret held the pressure.


While Xamarin is an attractive option for creating mobile applications in Visual Studio, it doesn't mean that getting started is easy. For example, while you can target iOS devices with Xamarin, you'll need a Macintosh computer on your network to handle compiling your application. I'm going to avoid that issue in this article, but I'll cover everything else you need to know.
Before starting your Xamarin project, I recommend installing some version of Visual Studio 2017 -- it has the best support for Xamarin. For this article I'm using Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise Edition (thanks to the MVP Reconnect program -- I'm too cheap to pay for it). However, Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition is free and has everything you need.
The alternative in Visual Studio 2017 to .NET Standard Project is Shared Project (in earlier versions it's a Portable Class Library or PCL Project). Standard Project is a better choice because Shared Projects provide no IntelliSense support for using XAML to define your Xamarin.Forms (and XAML is a great way to design your Xamarin.Forms).
After you've made your choices, clicking the OK button creates your Visual Studio Solution.
Because I only targeted Android devices, my solution only has two projects in it: A standard project named HelloWorld and a project targeted for the Android platform named HelloWorld.Android. Had I picked iOS or Windows, I would have ended up with additional projects targeted for each of those platforms.
Your Android project gets its Xamarin support through a set of NuGet Packages. With NuGet Packages it's usually a good idea to make sure that you have the latest versions. However, if you try to update the Xamarin packages that are flagged in NuGet Manager as having updates, you may find that you can't install the packages.
The problem is that, to use the latest versions of the Android NuGet Packages, your project has to target the latest version of the Android OS. To set your project to use the latest version of the Android OS, open your Android project's properties, select the Application* tab and, from the Compile Using Android Version dropdown list, select the latest version of the Android OS (I picked Oreo).
But you may not want to move to a more recent version of the Android OS. The more recent the version of Android that you target, the fewer devices that your application is guaranteed to run on (not that your application won't run on every Android device – it's just not guaranteed to run). Rather than changing your project type, you can try different versions of each of the various NuGet packages that are marked for update until, by trial and error, you find the latest version that you can use of each.
You're also going to need install the appropriate Android SDK. With Visual Studio 2017 you can use the Android SDK Manager (available from Visual Studio's Tools > Android menu) to download and install the SDK. If you're not using Visual Studio 2017, you can get the SDK with Android Studio and then run the SDK manager from your Windows Start menu.
Once the SDK is installed, in the SDK manager's Tools tab, check to see if any items are flagged with "Update available." If you find any click the n Updates Available button in the lower left-hand corner (n will be the number of updates available). On the following dialog, click the Install Updates button and, on the next dialog, the button that says that you accept the relevant license. While I was on the Tools tab, I also chose to install all the versions of the Android Build Tools by checking them off and clicking the Apply Changes button.
You've now got a Xamarin project that's ready to accept code and run. I'll walk through creating and debugging a Hello, World project in an upcoming column.

I have Admin rights and have used AdRotate for over a year without many challenges. Today I am not seeing the normal AD EDIT screen when i click on Ad to modify it. That section is just blank. Please help!
If it's just blank that usually means an error of some kind.
Check the servers error_log file for details on that.
I have the same problem when I'm using php 7.1, it works as expected with php 5.6.
@jonny check your servers error_log file.
The topic 'Ad Edit not displaying' is closed to new replies.


Lots of loss and sadness in the world this week, but here's just the thing to pick up your spirits - another episode of Just A Bit Outside! We start with a goodbye to a couple athletes we lost, as well as a salute to Travis Lulay for his retirement, and wondering what could have been. We even talk a little baseball, as the biggest free agent domino finally fell. Is he overpaid, or are the Phillies now the team to beat?
In hockey, we take a step back from the brink with our view on the Canucks. Has the recent slide really been that bad? Should the cartel be in danger of losing their hold on power? Have the results this season been surprising? We do a little comparison with the current GM and the greatest Canucks GM, and the retrospect may surprise you. All this and a shout out to an old coach, plus our best and worst in Garbage Time!

G77 and China Stress South-South and North-South Cooperation
By Adriano José Timossi*
NEW YORK (IDN) - A review of the economic situation with a focus on the recent developments in the world and the economic, social and environmental challenges faced by developing countries in particular was the main topic in the deliberations and declaration adopted at the 41st Ministerial Meeting of Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the Group of 77 (G77) and China on September 22 at the UN headquarters in New York on the side-lines of the UN General Assembly.
Ministers were deeply concerned about the uneven progress achieved in fulfilling the interrelated internationally agreed commitments made at numerous UN conferences in the economic, social and environmental fields and by the lack of satisfactory progress in this regard.

G20 Summit Unlikely to Change the World for the Better
By Samantha Sen
HAMBURG (IDN) - The moment said almost all at the G20 summit in Hamburg July 7-8. The heads of government were gathered in a hall, they were requested to turn around towards a presentation. All looked in the direction required – except for U.S. President Donald Trump. And so everyone was looking one way, the U.S. President another. He turned around after a nudge.
Which is where the 'almost' comes in. Momentary symbolism on offer like this has to stop somewhere. Trump was given that nudge by British Prime Minister Teresa May. It isn't May trying to turn Trump towards a consensus with other leaders; she's looking her own other way herself. And she refused to raise climate change with Trump in the course of a 50-minute bilateral meeting; she only raised it informally after that meeting had ended.

The ACP Celebrates 42nd Birthday and Reflects on the Future
By Klara Smits
BRUSSELS (ACP-IDN) – The African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) Group of States commemorated 'ACP Day 2017' on June 2, reflecting on "development partnership" with the European Union (EU), which it described as "a multi-dimensional and transformative experience".
These issues were discussed in two panels. But in greater detail in the book – The ACP Group and the EU Development Partnership: Beyond the North-South Debate – launched on the occasion. The book constitutes a systematic and critical assessment of the nature, evolution, and prospects of the development partnership between the 79-member African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) group of states and the 28-member European Union (EU).

Why Developing Countries Strive to Embrace e-Governance
Following are extensive excerpts from the opening remarks by the Secretary-General of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP) at the high-level E-Governance Conference on 30 May 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia.
BRUSSELS (IDN-INPS) – Many institutions and organizations (public and private) in developing countries, such as ACP (the African, Caribbean and Pacific) countries, have embraced the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to address the various opportunities and challenges in the context of their respective development strategies.
UN Chief Underscores the Need to Invest in Africa's Youth
By Jutta Wolf
BERLIN | TAORMINA (IDN) – The Group of Seven (G7) leaders has in its 'Taormina Communiqué' underscored that "Africa's security, stability and sustainable development are high priorities". But it has yet to respond to UN Secretary-General António Guterres' specific call for the need to invest in young people, with stronger investment in technology and relevant education and capacity building in Africa.
The two-day G7 summit in Italy, in which the leaders of six other industrial nations – Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the U.S. also took part, concluded on May 27 in Taormina, a hilltop town on the east coast of Sicily, Italy.
Foreign Aid Not the Answer for Africa
By Ntsoaki Nkoe
MASERU, Lesotho (IDN) – Research indicates that the African continent as a whole receives roughly 50 billion dollars of international aid each year – yet instead of drastically improving the living conditions of those living below the poverty line, this aid often makes the rich richer, the poor poorer and hinders economic growth, not to mention catalysing the vicious cycle of corruption.
Economist Dr. Moeketsi Majoro – former Minister of Economic Planning in Lesotho who has also worked at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) – believes that after the many mistakes made in aid operations, donor countries have now learned lessons about how their generosity had been turned into supporting dictatorships, undermining domestic economic activity and creating dependencies.
Access of African Youth to Labour Market Receives Boost
By Justus Wanzala
NAIROBI (IDN) – The African Union (AU) in collaboration with the government of Germany has established an initiative to help young Africans acquire practical skills for meeting the needs of labour markets.
The aim is to strengthen their occupational prospects in view of the continent's unemployment crisis.
Most hit are young people, with around 60 percent of the unemployed under the age of 25. Key players in implementation of the initiative are the New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and the German government's Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation, as well as the German KfW Development Bank. NEPAD is a socio-economic development flagship programme of the AU.
Paris Summit Gives Global Lessons in Transparency
By A.D. McKenzie
PARIS (IDN) – If you have always suspected that politicians around the world tend to belong to certain cliques and to have attended particular schools, there is now a digital tool being developed to confirm (or deny) your suspicions.
Called 'Cargografías', this was one of the many data instruments presented at the Open Government Partnership (OGP) Global Summit that took place in Paris from December 7 to 9 and brought together government and civil society representatives working for greater transparency in the public interest.
"The idea is that citizens have the right to know about public officials," said Pablo Pignolo, a Uruguayan software analyst and developer who works on Cargografías with colleagues from other Latin American countries.

Japan Moves Prestigious Africa Conference to Kenya
Analysis by Kingsley Ighobor
NEW YORK (IDN | Africa Renewal) - To many Africans, Japan is a country acclaimed for economic and technological prowess. Johnson Obaluyi in Lagos, Nigeria, says Toyota, the ubiquitous automotive manufacturer, comes to mind whenever Japan is mentioned. For Kwesi Obeng, a Ghanaian living in Nairobi, Kenya, it is technology. Beageorge Cooper, a consultant for the World Bank in Monrovia, Liberia, says she thinks of Japan as "a former world economic power".
But it's a different matter when Africans are asked about Japan-Africa relations. "I will have to read up on that," says Cooper. "I think we are importing their Toyotas," recollects Obaluyi. "They support research into tropical diseases in Africa," says Obeng.
Such scant knowledge of the full gamut of Japan-Africa relations hardly reflects the true picture on the ground, considering that it was as recently as 2013 that Japan's Prime Minister Shinzō Abe announced a whopping $32 billion five-year support for Africa's development projects.

Ceres awarded patent in Australia for trait that increases crop yields
Agribusiness Topic
Philip Joens Author
By Philip Joens Friday, January 22nd, 2016
Thousand Oaks-based Ceres Inc., an ag-biotech company, was awarded a patent in Australia for a trait that allows growers to increase yields without increasing crop inputs like fertilizer.
The patent extends intellectual property protection to the Australian market of a key gene that Ceres has licensed to a multinational crop developer. It covers uses of the gene in crops such as corn, soybeans and wheat among others. For Ceres, it's a small victory as the company tries to stay afloat during a corporate restructuring.
Ceres plans to offer seed companies a license to the technology in crops not already licensed. Experimental results have demonstrated significant yield increases in several plant species, the company said in a news release.
Since its founding in 1996, Ceres has lost $332.1 million. Between 2012 and June 2015, Ceres cut its staff from 96 to 44 employees worldwide. The only profitable years in the company's history were 2003, 2005 and 2006.
For years, Ceres invested heavily in developing bio-fuels made from sorghum in Brazil. In June, the company announced a restructuring plan to focus the company's resources on developing seeds for food and forage crops like alfalfa and corn.

Recently we faced this issue with one of our WCF Rest service. This service is working fine with http and we converted the same to use https using server certificate. Server certificate is added to the Trusted Root certificates store in both server and in client.
Client uses the following code, where it creates a HttpWebRequest and add the certificate to the request.
But when the GetResponse executes, it throws the excepttion "Could not able to establish trust relationship". We are able to browse service from Client side browser.
Client is accessing the WCF service using IP address (eg:- 134.25.122.45) of the server[eg:- https://134.25.122.45/TestService/service] and the certificate issued to[Verify the Issued to attribute of the certifiate] the name of the system(eg:- testServer.domain.com). Once we changed the WCF service URL with server name[eg:- https://testServer.domain.com/TestService/service] it starts working.
This entry was posted in WCF and tagged certificate, https, WCF. Bookmark the permalink.
I tried to access the service from a different machine by giving the IP of the server ie where the wcf service is running. But the service is not accessible. Any help?

Specimens shall be taken from the in-place work or from test panels, and shall be taken at least once each shift, but not less than one for each 50 cubic yards (38.2 m3) of shotcrete.
When the maximum-size aggregate is larger than 3/8 inch (9.5 mm), the test panels shall have minimum dimensions of 18 inches by 18 inches (457 mm by 457 mm). When the maximum-size aggregate is 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) or smaller, the test panels shall have minimum dimensions of 12 inches by 12 inches (305 mm by 305 mm). Panels shall be shot in the same position as the work, during the course of the work and by the nozzlemen doing the work. The conditions under which the panels are cured shall be the same as the work.
The average compressive strength of three cores from the in-place work or a single test panel shall equal or exceed 0.85 f 'c with no single core less than 0.75 f 'c. The average compressive strength of three cubes taken from the in-place work or a single test panel shall equal or exceed f 'c with no individual cube less than 0.88 f 'c. To check accuracy, locations represented by erratic core or cube strengths shall be retested.

Bugatti Chiron will cost a bank breaking $2.5 million
When the Bugatti Veyron was first unleashed a decade ago, in 2005, the hypercar took the world by storm. Crowned by the Guinness World Records as the fastest street-legal production car in the world with a top speed of 430.9 km/h, the Veyron was considered to be the undisputed champion in the ring, until now. Bugatti has just spilled a few more details on the predecessor of the Veyron. Christened the Chiron, in honor of the famous Bugatti racer, Louis Chiron, this upcoming hypercar will pack a quad-turbo 8.0 liter W16 engine that churns out a whopping 1,480 bhp and 1106 lb.-ft. of torque!
What does this mean when it comes to speed? The Bugatti Chiron will touch the speeds of above 460 km/h! The car will zip past the 100 km/h mark in below 2.3 seconds, making it a lot quicker than the good old Veyron! Also, Bugatti will build 500 Chirons, producing 50 cars more than the Veyron. What will it take to bring home the swanky new Bugatti in the near future? A bank account packed with approximately $2.471 million, given the fact that the car is expected to come with a price tag of 2.2 million euros.

Madona z otrokom (italijansko: Madonna col Bambino e angeli ali Lippina) tudi Uffizijska Madona je slika italijanskega Datum, ko je bila narejena, ni znan, vendar se večina zgodovinarjev umetnosti strinja, da je bila naslikana med zadnjim obdobjem Lippijeve kariere, med letoma 1450 in 1465.  Je eno redkih njegovih del, ki ni bilo narejeno s pomočjo njegove delavnice in je vpliven model za poznejše upodobitve Madone in otroka, vključno s tisto Sandra Botticellija. Slika je razstavljena v galeriji Uffizi v Firencah v Italiji, zato jo umetnostni zgodovinarji pogosto imenujejo "Uffizi Madona".

Ozadje

Fra Filippo se je rodil leta 1406 v Firencah v revni družini, kjer je bil njegov oče mesar. Z bratom je že zgodaj vstopil v samostan. Kasneje v življenju so ga premestili v samostan v Pratu in tu se je zaljubil v nuno Lucrezio Buti, s katero je imel dva otroka. Na več težav je naletel, ko so njegovi pokrovitelji trdili, da Fra Filippo ni izpolnil svojih pogodb. Njegovi glavni pokrovitelji so bili Medičejci.

Zgodovina
Naročilo in točen datum izvedbe slike nista znana. Leta 1457 je Giovanni de' Medici želel podariti ploščo neapeljskemu kralju in naročil Fra Filippu, da jo poslika. Fra Filippo, ki je takrat delal v Pratu, se je odločil, da se bo začasno vrnil v rezidenco v Firencah, da bi delal na tem projektu. Fra Filippo je Giovanniju napisal pisma, iz katerih je razvidno, da je slikar projekt opustil zaradi pomanjkanja finančnih sredstev. Čeprav umetnostni zgodovinar Ulmann meni, da je Fra Filippo predstavil Uffizijsko Madono Giovanniju, da bi se mu zahvalil, ker je deloval kot posrednik med njim in neapeljskim kraljem, Edward C. Strutt trdi, da je to prepričanje napačno. Vendar tudi navaja, da je bila Uffizi Madona po vsej verjetnosti narejena okoli obdobja, medtem ko je Fra Filippo bival v Firencah. To dokazujejo tudi tehnike, ki jih je Fra Filippo uporabil pri uresničevanju te slike: bleda izvedba in drzne barve poudarjajo, kako je na slikarja vplivala tehnika fresko poslikave. Ker je takšne tehnike pridobil z delom v stolnici v Pratu, veliko preden se je preselil v Firence, Strutt verjame, da je moral Fra Filippo to sliko izvesti po času, ko je delal v stolnici.
Madono tradicionalno poistovetijo z Lucrezijo Buti, tako kot pri večini Fra Filippovih Madonn.

Druga možna interpretacija slike je, da je nenavadna velikost morda povezana z osebnim dogodkom, kot je rojstvo njegovega sina Filippina (1457): če pa bi Filippina izbral za model angela v ospredju, bi plošča lahko izvira iz leta 1465.

Napis iz 18. stoletja na zadnji strani plošče priča o prisotnosti slike v takratni medičejski vili, Villa del Poggio Imperiale. 13. maja 1796 je prišla v zbirko Gran Ducal v Firencah, ki je osnova bodoče galerije Uffizi.

Opis

Uffizijska Madona je povezana z okusom nove dobe, saj je Madona »ljubkejša in bolj modna kot katera od Filippovih prejšnjih Madonn«. Skupina Madone in otroka je nenavadno za to obdobje postavljena pred odprto okno, za katerim je pokrajina, navdihnjena za flamskim slikarstvom. Madona sedi na stolu ob oknu hiše, ki stoji na vrhu hriba, ki ponuja pogled na zapleteno pokrajino 'ravnic, oddaljenih gora, mesta in zaliva'. Oči so ji usmerjene navzdol in roke v molitvi sklenjene pred otrokom Jezusom, ki ga ob njej držita dva angela. Ima prefinjeno pričesko z mehko tančico in biseri: ti elementi skupaj z njenim kostumom predstavljajo eleganco sredi 1400-ih in so bili ponovno uporabljeni v številnih delih iz 15. stoletja v Firencah. Kot v mnogih renesančnih slikah so tudi Madonini lasje obriti višje, ker je bilo »čelo predmet posebne lepote«, okrašeno z »žareče, lepo postavljenim biserom«.

Ta Madona spominja na druge Madone istega umetnika. Na primer, je tesno povezana s Fra Filippovo Madono na Pittijskem tondu, vendar ji manjka 'patetične dekliške ljubkosti' in ima bolj 'ženstveno in zrelo vrsto lepote'.

Angel na desni je eden najbolj radovednih delov slike: gledalca gleda z porogljivim nasmehom, bolj izrazitim nagajivim kot serafsko dovršen. Njegova poza ne spominja na angela in zdi se, da ne igra svoje vloge, temveč se zdi, da je pravi otrok.

Tehnika
Veliko okno, postavljeno za Madono, pomaga zmanjšati vrzel med gledalcem in figurami, ki so prav tako zelo blizu ravnine, da pomagajo gledalcu, da se počuti kot del slike.

Fra Filippovo fresko ozadje iz časa v Pratu vpliva na to sliko od barvanja in nepazljivosti do podrobnosti. Barve so nanesene v krepkih potezah, ki so skorajda neodvisne druga od druge, kar kaže, da si je Fra Filippo »zelo malo prizadeval, da bi zagotovil harmonično mešanje različnih odtenkov«, kar je značilno za freske. Sestava slike je piramidalne oblike, ospredje in ozadje pa sta razporejena na način, ki nakazuje, da so metode Donatellove šole vplivale tudi na Fra Filippa.

Iz njegovih prejšnjih slik je razvidno, da je na Fra Filippa vplival Masaccio. Vendar je Masacciov chiaroscúro izginil v Uffizijski Madoni, figure so zdaj osvetljene z mehkim sijajem z ostrimi sencami. To močno zmanjša občutek volumna, ki je bil značilen za prejšnje slike Fra Filippa.

Simbolizem
Ta slika vsebuje verske simbole: zunaj okna so skale in morska obala, ki so v florentinskih renesančnih slikah ponavljajoče teme. Morska obala najbrž aludira na naslov Device Marije 'zvezda morja in pristanišča našega odrešenja', skale pa aludirajo na zgodbe preroka Danijela.

Interpretacija

Angel na desni je bil od nekdaj posebnega pomena za umetnostne zgodovinarje. Marylin Lavin trdi, da je treba Uffizijsko Madono »razumeti kot predstavitev poroke Kristusa in Device Marije«. Kot je dejala Barnaby Nygren, Lavinovo razlago zagovarja dejstvo, da Madona ne drži otroka, temveč se mu predstavlja. Vendar Bernard Berenson trdi, da »odnos med nevesto in ženinom ni v razmerju med Devico Marijo in Kristusom, temveč kot posamezno pobožno dušo in Boga«. Nazadnje Jonathan Jones trdi, da je Madona »ena najlepših renesančnih slik« in primer humanizacije religije, ki sega do  Giotta. Po njegovem mnenju je Fra Filippo s to sliko prikazal odnos med Madono in otrokom kot prava mati in dojenček.

Dela Filippa Lippija
Dela leta 1460


A 44 year old man known with hypertension was brought by ambulance to the emergency department because of sudden onset increasing signs of angina pectoris.
Initial assessment on the ECG showed ST-elevation aVR, aVL and I, suggestive of myocardial ischemia (of the proximal LAD). An emergency coronary angiography was performed. This showed an occlusion of the proximal LAD (see white arrowhead in image below), which was treated by primary PCI (result of the PCI is seen in the second image). Maximal CK values in this patients were 8100 U/l, suggestive of a large myocardial infarction with substantial myocardial cell loss. A second elective PCI of a significant stenosis in the distal RCX (see circle in second image and result after PCI in the third image) followed a few days later. After these therapeutic interventions, images of the myocardium were obtained by echocardiography and MRI. Results and considerations will be discussed below.
The global LV systolic function directly after the myocardial infarction was moderately decreased with a left ventricular ejection fraction of 38%. This was mainly due to akinesis of the apex and anteroseptal wall (see movie clips below). Also note the spontaneous contrast forming in the LV apex. These findings were confirmed by strain values and MRI imaging, as shown below.
Strain imaging in the acute phase shows abnormal deformation patterns in the affected myocardial segments due to ischemia. Peak systolic values are mostly reduced in the apex. Also anterior and septal segments of the basal myocardium show a decrease in peak systolic strain (indicated by the yellow circles in the first figure).
Post systolic shortening (PSS) occurs in multiple regions, but then again most evident in the apex and anterior wall (see blue arrows and bulls-eye plot in second figure). During early systole, when LV pressure rises systolic shortening will occur in healthy myocardium. Because of the reduced ability to generate active force, ischemic myocardium tends to lengthen just before systolic shortening. In the apical region there is early systolic lengthening (ESL) without signs of myocardial contraction, so this seems the most affected region in the acute phase. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) measured directly after revascularization is a strong predictor for LV ejection recovery and LV remodeling when using the cutoff values of respectively -12.9% and -12.8%. The value of GLS in the acute phase is -7.9% so this exceeds the cutoff value for LV remodeling.
The following image of the defromation in the APLAX view clearly shows the different characteristics of the transmural acute myocardial infarction.
Three months later the ultrasound was repeated. It showed extensive defects in apical and anteroseptal regions of the LV. These regions also showed extensive wall thinning, suggestive of transmural infarction. LVEF on 3D was 45%.
Strain values obtained 3 months after PCI procedures of the proximal LAD and RCX present deformation improvement of regions surrounding the myocardial infarction. Peak systolic strain remains reduced in the apical and anterior segments, while other regions showed slightly decreased to normal values. Patterns of the post systolic shortening are similar to the acute phase. The persistent PSS in the infarcted regions reflects transmural scarring. In general, PSS assumes to reflect inhomogeneities in regional myocardial tension but there is still no consensus whether it is caused by prolonged contraction, delayed relaxation, or elastic recoil after systolic bulging. In this case there is transmural scar (see CMR below) and therefore the PSS is induced by elastic recoil.
Early systolic lengthening still exists and is now more outspoken in anterior part of the septum than in apex.
In this case GLS tends to be a good predictor for LV myocardial changes. The predicted LV remodeling occurs indeed with wall thinning in the apex and anteroseptal segments.
This all taken together, the myocardial infarction is located in the apex and anterior region of the septum which correlates well to the areas supplied by the LAD.
One month after the myocardial infarction, delayed enhancement occurred in anteroseptal and septal parts of the basal myocardial region.
When comparing extend of the affected myocardium derived from MRI images with longitudinal peak systolic strain values of the different myocardial segments a relation is visible. In segments with less negative peak systolic strain the range of infarction is more transmural. Appreciate the corresponding delayed enhancement short axis images of the LV with the corresponding segmental longitudinal peak systolic strain values. There is a very close relation between the amount of transmurality of scar and the longitudinal strain values. Positive strain values are exclusively seen in the segments with transmural infarction.

Muslim Personal Law Reforms Action Group calls: Release Marsoof report on Muslim Personal Law
The Committee on Parliamentary Business which met yesterday morning (18), under the patronage of Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena decided to convene Parliament today (19) and tomorrow (20)....
Friday, September 23, 2016 - 01:00
The Muslim Personal Law Reforms Action Group (MPLRAG) has called for the release of the report on Muslim Personal Law (MPL) reforms formulated by the Committee headed by Justice Saleem Marsoof.
The 16 member Committee was set up in 2009 by the then Justice Minister Milinda Moragoda in the view that "certain reforms to the Muslim personal law was urgently needed".
The Committee's report thus has been pending for the last seven years.
With a new Constitutional reform process currently being undertaken the MPLRAG points that this was a valuable opportunity to look into reforming MPL.
On August 24, 2016, a group of 15 Muslim women appealed to Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe and the rest of the sub-committee drafting the Fundamental Rights Chapter of the new constitution.
They appealed that Article 16(1) is repealed to ensure that the new Constitution is the supreme law of the land and that fundamental rights and gender equality are ensured for all citizens regardless of religion or ethnicity. They averted to the State's responsibility to protect the fundamental rights of all its people irrespective of age, gender, ethnicity, religion or any other identity markers.
However, certain conservatives groups among the Muslim community – while acknowledging that there were major problems with the Muslim Marriage and Divorce Act (MMDA) and its implementation – claimed that repeal of Article 16(1) is not necessary because the Muslim community will reform its own personal law "from within", to address concerns of women and girls.
"It is important for the community in general and Muslim women in particular to know the outcome of the Committee's deliberations and as to how it compares with the protection and equality that Muslim women and children can avail of by calling for repeal of Article 16(1) in the new Constitution," stated the MPLRAG in their statement.
"Therefore, we appeal to the members of the MPL Reforms Committee, Justice Minister and Judicial Services Commission to inform the Sri Lankan Muslim community as to when the report is expected to be finalised. Also given its relevance to the constitutional reform discussion outlined above, we kindly request that they immediately share the salient outcomes of the reform discussions to date pending the release of the final report," they added.
Many Muslim women and girls are not only affected directly by discriminatory provisions within the 1951 MMDA, but also as a result of the sub-par Quazi court system with untrained and unqualified Quazi judges.
Some of the major discriminatory practices of the MPL with regard to women include; no minimum age of marriage, no requirement of mandatory (and written) consent from the bride, different conditions of divorce for men and women, the provision for wife and child maintenance decided arbitrarily by Quazis, the disqualification of women to be Quazis by the Act, no mandatory requirement of qualifications or mandatory training for Quazis on MMDA and it allows the practice of polygamy without requirement of consent from the wifes or wife to be.


Forcible Entry and Detainer is a legal action which a rightful owner may take to remove tenants from his property. It may be used in the Residential Landlord and Tenant situation where the tenant refuses to leave. It may also be used after Foreclosures and Trustee Sales against a former owner. This is a legal action which must be done according to law. Properly done, you will receive a court order directing the sheriff to come and evict the tenants. For experienced help, you are urged to contact a Phoenix real estate attorney from the legal team of Schern Richardson Finter .
As a landlord, this is an action which is an unpleasant necessity. You have your own bills to pay, including perhaps a mortgage. You cannot rent to a paying tenant until the non-paying tenant is removed. In the case of foreclosures or trustee sales, you are the new owner of the home or building and you want to put it to use. For this to occur, the tenants must be evicted first.
The proper procedure is that you give the tenants a 5 to 7 day notice with an order to quit. If they fail to do so, you file a lawsuit for forcible entry and detainer and serve the tenants. The court hearing can usually be scheduled on short notice. At the hearing, the only question will be whether the tenant has a right to possession. If not, the court will order the tenants to leave within 5 days. If they fail to do so, the sheriff is given authority to remove the tenants and give you possession.
We are experienced at helping landlords and rightful owners take possession of their property with eviction processes. If you require forcible entry and detainer proceedings, we urge you to contact us. We are skilled at evictions of tenants from both residential and commercial property including landlord and tenant and foreclosure situations.

Metabolic Nutrition is a leading nutrition and supplement company dedicated to all things health and fitness. From endurance training and muscle building to athletics and everyday health, Metabolic Nutrition has a range of great-tasting, top-quality nutritional supplements designed to maximize performance. Blue Wheel Media worked with Metabolic Nutrition to not only create stylish and distinct web site design, but also created a full-circle approach, utilizing photography, video, content and visual styles leading to an on going comprehensive digital marketing campaign.
To understand Metabolic Nutrition's market, Blue Wheel Media conducted research and market analysis to recognize and identify opportunities. Using this information, Blue Wheel identified industry trends and competitors' strengths and weaknesses which allowed us to help Metabolic own a distinct branding, look and messaging.
Blue Wheel Media launched a campaign titled "Unleash Your Superhero". This involved our coordination and direction of a photo shoot in Las Vegas, NV with top photographer Bazza Holmes. The finished photography included spliced images to represent an unenthused average person on the left and someone who is able to Unleash Their Superhero on the right, implying the strength and energy you can accomplish after taking Metabolic products.
As part of the creative direction for Metabolic Nutrition, Blue Wheel Media helped re-birth Metabolic Man – the company mascot. Initially, Metabolic Man was lacking a distinct origin story or mission. Blue Wheel Media's design team laid out and illustrated Metabolic Man's story, a comic showing the journey Metabolic Man took to become the superhero he is today. This character was then integrated full circle with the event mascot, mini metabolic man promo items, and a user generated #hashtag content campaign.
Blue Wheel helped strategize, design, launch and manage an ongoing ambassador program, called the Hall of Heroes. We negotiated and continue to work with fitness influencers with social followings on instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. We then integrate these heroes and their story into the overall marketing and content strategy, showing how they unleash the superhero in their life, as well as working with them to promote Metabolic Nutrition product.
As part of the rebrand launch, Blue Wheel strategized, architected, designed and developed a fully responsive e-commerce website. The design focuses on the clean, sleek style the new photography lent as well as energy and movement to spice things up. The site includes instagram API integration, an M-Lab content house home to dozens of videos and on going informational content, full e-commerce representation of the Metabolic product line, and more.
