Q: HTML inside handlebars script no showing while using ember.js + kendo UI I'm working on a mobile web app using emberjs. I'm using kendo UI mobile for rendering components inside views, while using Ember.js to work with everything else. The problem is, html wrapped inside handelbars scripts isn't rendering while kendo is active (while new kendo.mobile.Application() is not commented).
Am I missing something?
Here is my code for the view:

Here is my code for the router:
apptest.Router.map(function() {
    this.resource('venues',{'path': '/'});
});

apptest.VenuesRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
    model: function () {
        return this.store.find('venue');
    },
});

here's the code for the application.js file:
var apptest = Ember.Application.create();
apptest.Store = DS.Store.extend({
    revision:13,
    adapter: DS.FixtureAdapter.create()
});

var app = new kendo.mobile.Application();

A: You probably should create your Kendo app after view has been rendered:
App.VenuesView = Ember.View.extend({
  didInsertElement: function() {
    var app = new kendo.mobile.Application();
  }
});

Also you may want to assign your app to the global variable instead to access it later:
window.KendoApp = new kendo.mobile.Application();

With No Timeline for Reopening, SF's Independent Venues Seek Lifeline
Sam Lefebvre
The Chapel on Valencia Street, a former mortuary turned music venue photographed on March 15, 2020, offered a parting note to the community. (Beth LaBerge/KQED)
When shelter-in-place orders went into effect eight weeks ago in California and the Bay Area, the booking agents, talent buyers, tour managers and promoters who comprise the live music industry scrambled to reschedule spring and summer concerts for as soon as this September.
"Everyone went, 'Okay, seven or eight months will be enough time,'" Tony Bedard, the independent rock and comedy promoter, said in an interview. Then came Governor Gavin Newsom's statement that the resumption of large gatherings is dependent on the development of vaccines, which likely will not be complete until 2021. "Now with the four-phase plan," Bedard said, "we know concerts are going to be last to restart, and I'm less confident about October every week."
With local music venues' economic hardship and uncertainty only growing more pronounced, many operators have joined the newly-formed National Independent Venue Association (NIVA).
NIVA's 1,500 members nationwide include historic venues such as First Avenue in Minneapolis, where Prince made a name for himself; the Troubadour, a home to the 1970s Los Angeles singer-songwriter scene; and D.C.'s storied 9:30 Club. In Northern California, its members number 70 venues and promoters, a mix of small- to mid-sized venues and promoters, as well as large outfits such as Another Planet Entertainment, the Oakland-based company behind the Outside Lands music festival.
Bay Area venues that have signed on to NIVA include Bimbo's 365 Club, Bottom of the Hill, Cornerstone Berkeley, DNA Lounge, the Chapel, Great American Music Hall, the Ivy Room, the UC Theatre, and many others. Local promoters such as Noise Pop, Ineffable Entertainment and the Stern Grove Festival are on board as well.
Bedard has already cancelled or postponed some 40 shows at independent venues, including Eli's Mile High Club, Starline Social Club and the Ivy Room. He's one of many local promoters and talent buyers in the difficult position of trying to financially endure an industry standstill and at the same time plan for its resumption—without knowing when that will occur or what it will look like.
Bedard worries that smaller venues without backing from Live Nation or Goldenvoice, diversified corporations with credit lines deep enough to weather the storm (though not without layoffs), will shutter before they're able to adapt. It could be "financially less ruinous," Bedard said, for venues to close than to continue operating at a loss whenever the concert restrictions lift.
NIVA, funded in part by ticketing companies See Tickets and Lyte, has retained the lobbyist firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld to represent its interests in Washington. In a letter to congressional leaders, NIVA board president Dayna Frank proposed various relief measures centered on tax relief, small business loan and mortgage and rent forbearance.
Due to public health concerns, venues were some of the first businesses to close and will be among the last to reopen, Frank's letter explains. Yet the initial federal economic relief programs "fail to sustain an industry like ours," it continues. "Without your help, thousands of independent venues will not survive to see the day when our doors can open to the public again."
Independent venues closing could also solidify the controversial expansion of Live Nation and AEG, parent company of Coachella promoter Goldenvoice, into the local concert market.
Live Nation, which operates the Fillmore Auditorium and the Masonic, can burn $150 million a month for the rest of the year "without any concern," company president Joe Berchtold told Billboard. And, separately from NIVA, the companies are lobbying for their own federal bailout.
Local promoters have concerns—not just about their unemployed workers, but also the risks of rescheduling concerts too soon and forcing repeat cancellations, not to mention overpromising fees for touring artists. If venues are only allowed to reopen with half or 25 percent capacity, for example, everyone stands to earn significantly less than initially expected. On top of it all is a big audience question: will anyone come out to shows?
Dan Strachota, talent buyer at the Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco, said he's increasingly postponing fall concerts to next year, even some originally slated for this past March or April. With potential capacity limitations, he says promoters booking touring acts are striking less-risky "door deals," where artists receive a percentage of total ticket sales rather than their usual guaranteed fee.
The Rickshaw Stop has joined on with NIVA, and Strachota is hopeful for some sort of federal aid. The Hayes Valley venue is ineligible for a Payroll Protection Program loan, he said, and has been denied for five other regional grants and loans.
Another problem is its ticketing provider, San Francisco company Eventbrite, has laid off 45 percent of its staff. "We're doing a lot of the work they were doing now," Strachota said, referring to customer service and refunds processing. The company, he continued, recently changed its policy nationwide to keep 100% of the money for tickets sold until five days after the shows occur. Naturally, no shows have occurred since the shelter-in-place order.
(KQED has contacted Eventbrite for comment.)
But along with federal aid, Strachota wants clarity from local and state officials around the resumption of live music, saying reopening guidelines should better distinguish between small clubs and stadiums. To that end, he's also a member of the Independent Venue Alliance, a new group formed separately from NIVA in part to represent local nightlife at San Francisco City Hall.
The Rickshaw Stop is raising a hardship fund for its workers, and recently sold alcohol to supporters at little more than cost, offering a free plus-one to a future gig with every curbside pickup. Strachota was happy to be reminded of the venue's audience, and to offer some staff a day gig. "It was the first time in six weeks I woke up without a sense of dread," Strachota said.
This story has been updated to more accurately reflect payouts from Eventbrite to the Rickshaw Stop.

Could you please help ?
Thanks.

A: This will help you to fix the problem.
Jboss and mysql connector

A: See https://zorq.net/b/2011/07/12/adding-a-mysql-datasource-to-jboss-as-7/

A: Is the version of driver. Change for a new version. Believe, is only it!!!
I changed the driver mysql-connector-java-5.0.4-bin.jar   for   mysql-connector-java-5.1.25-bin.jar, then the problem is solved.

A: For me, after checking over and over that all of the module.xml and standalone.xml parameters where right. I realised i was using mysql-connector-java-xxx-bin.jar ...Changed it to a non bin jar and it MAGICALLY worked :D


Yami has a special Kolkata connection!
Thread: Yami has a special Kolkata connection!
Actor Yami Gautam's fan following must be nationwide, but one person stands out among the crowd. Atul Sureka, a lawyer from Kolkata, has been such an admirer of the actor that now he has got her name tattooed on his arm to show her his love.
Atul got a chance to meet Yami for the first time in February 2017, and ever since, the actor has looked at him as a special fan - she really appreciates the fact that this man has followed her work, right from the time she debuted with Vicky Donor (2012).
"Atul lives in Kolkata and came to Yami's notice through social media. His constant appreciation of Yami work has impressed her a lot, and she makes it a point to meet him every time she visits Kolkata on a work-related trip. So much so, that now her team informs him when she's about to go to the city," says a source close to the actor.
Yami, who will soon be seen in Batti Gul Meter Chalu, is thankful to her fans for always encouraging her. "[Atul] really came across as a genuine fan and [he was] so shy. When I met him, he couldn't even look up and talk much. The biggest quality in a fan has to be about love and respect, and that's what I saw in him," says the actor.

Ask the Expert: Why do you need your wisdom teeth removed?
Q: "Why do you need your wisdom teeth removed?"
A:Although most people develop and grow 32 permanent adult teeth, many times their jaws are too small to accommodate the four wisdom teeth. When inadequate space prevents the teeth from erupting they are called impacted wisdom teeth. This indicates their inability to erupt into the proper position for chewing and cleaning.
If you do not have enough room in your mouth for your third molars to fully erupt, a number of problems can happen. Impacted wisdom teeth should be removed before their root structure is fully developed. In some patients it is as early as 12 or 13, and in others it may not be until their early twenties. Problems tend to occur with increasing frequency after the age of 30. Some of the possible problems related to not removing your wisdom teeth include infection, cyst formation, possible crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth.
If you do not have your teeth removed as a teenager or young adult, as wisdom teeth develop, the roots become longer and the jaw bone more dense. When it is necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth in your thirties, forties or beyond, the post-operative course can be prolonged and there is a higher complication rate. Treating these complications is often more difficult and less predictable than with a younger patient. Healing may be slower and the chance of infection can be increased. If your impacted wisdom teeth are not removed in your teenage years or early in your twenties and they are completely impacted in bone, it may be advisable to wait until a localized problem (such as cyst formation or localized gum disease and bone loss) develops. In general, you will heal faster, more predictably and have fewer complications if treated in your teens or early twenties.
Call 724-837-7770 if you would like a wisdom teeth consultation.

Q: Regex lookaround When all was simple we had a regex /[^A-Za-z0-9]/
Once matched, we would substitute in underscores
  American Football # American_Football
  Mini Golf         # Mini_Golf

However, we do not want it to match
  AR/ VR

I thought a neg lookbehind would work but alas...Why does the neg lookbehind not go back and make sure \/\s does not match?
 [^A-Za-z0-9](?<!\/\s)

Thanks

A: [^A-Za-z0-9](?<!\/\s) matches / in AR/ VR because it is not a whitespace preceded with /, see this demo:

You seem to want to only match an non-alphanumeric character between alphanumeric characters:
/(?<=[A-Za-z0-9])\W(?=[A-Za-z0-9])/

See this regex demo.
Details

*

*(?<=[A-Za-z0-9]) - right before, there must be an alphanumeric char

*\W  - a non-word char (non-alpha, non-underscore) char

*(?=[A-Za-z0-9]) - right after, there must be  an alphanumeric  char.

I just got a tiny tiny display.
The netherlands, city Helmond around 23:50pm local time.
July 02/03: Very bad interference from "nasty low cloud" but from 0100 - 0130 UT there was obvious NLC, exceptionally bright swirls visible through & between patches of stratocumulus to an altitude of 20 degrees between North by West and North North East (solid cloud to the west of that).
The best display i have ever seen last night started around 23-45 and lasted all through till dawn i packed up at 03-30.
Amazing photos and wonderful structure.Where were they taken?
Thanks paul and roman it was unfornuate you had pesky cloud to deal with paul especially when it was clouds you where interested in !!!!
no.2 image is taken from portmuck looking up the north channel and the points of light are the maidens light house,carrickfergus castle is the last two images roman i wonder if the inhabidents of it centuries ago witness similar displays?
Stunning images everyone ! A great display, looks a good year then.
Nice capture - I'd have been tempted to crop out half the black foreground. Where are you btw ? No location under your name.
Jul 10, 0144 UT. Canon 40D, 17mm, 2.5 sec at f/5.6, ISO 400.
The "bright" cloud stretching across the top of the frame is tropospheric cirrus cloud, probably a smeared contrail.
Awesome images well done all.
Beautiful shots from all of you!

Q: Latex missread the equation and provides an error I have an equation to be written. The equation I expect to have is this one:

\begin{align}
M &= \left\{
\begin{array}
\sqrt{1+0.6275 \frac{l^2}{Dt} -0.003375 \frac{l^4}{D^2 t^2}} if \frac{l^2}{Dt} \leq 50 \\
0.032 \frac{l^2}{Dt} +3.293 if \frac{l^2}{Dt} > 50
\end{array} \right.

\end{align}
Instead what I get is this:

I don't understand why. Also, I receive an error message when I run the code:
   missing delimiter (. inserted)

even if I inserted on purpose
\right. to close it.

What is the problem?

A: You have a big error: you're missing the mandatory argument to array.
However, there are better methods to accomplish what you want.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,mathtools}

\begin{document}

\begin{equation*}
M =
\begin{dcases}
\sqrt{1+0.6275 \frac{l^2}{Dt} -0.003375 \frac{l^4}{D^2 t^2}}
  & \text{if } \frac{l^2}{Dt} \leq 50 \\
0.032 \frac{l^2}{Dt} +3.293 & \text{if } \frac{l^2}{Dt} > 50
\end{dcases}
\end{equation*}

\end{document}

Some advice
Don't disregard compilation errors: you get several of them with that code. Don't use align for single equation displays.

Q: Open source UWP app, can I make the app identity public I have an open-source UWP app for which I want to use AppVeyor to automatically create the appxupload package for me.
I stumpled upon this instructions on how to configure the project to create the appxupload package without requiring the App_StoreKey.pfx certificate file.
Now I'm wondering if I can make these values, the app identity, public, or if someone can do any harm with them?
I mean these values right here.

A:
Now I'm wondering if I can make these values, the app identity, public, or if someone can do any harm with them?

Yes, they can. By all means distribute your project's source code - but anything that uniquely identifies you as a developer (and the publishing chain) must be kept secret because that's how consumers of the application can trust that a certain build they get really is from you, the original developer, and not a malicious third-party who modified the program to do something evil (e.g. upload users' contacts list to a spamming service) - if you were to make your signing files publicly available then anyone can imitate you.

Virginia Basketball Staff Update
Virginia's Jason Williford has been promoted to associate head coach and Orlando Vandross has been elevated to assistant coach, three-time National Coach of the Year Tony Bennett announced Tuesday (April 17).
Williford, who has served as an assistant coach for the past nine seasons under Bennett, has helped the Cavaliers capture three ACC regular-season championships, two ACC Tournament titles and six NCAA Tournament appearances. UVA has won 30 or more games in three of the past five seasons and reached No. 1 in the AP rankings this season for the first time since 1982.
A former Virginia player, Williford was an assistant coach at American University for four years and an assistant coach at Boston University for five years. American won the Patriot League Championship and participated in the NCAA Tournament in each of his last two seasons with the program. During Williford's final four years at Boston University, the Terriers earned an NCAA Tournament berth in 2002 and then participated in the National Invitation Tournament for three consecutive years.
A native of Richmond, Va., Williford is a 1995 graduate of Virginia. During his four years as a member of the UVA men's basketball team, the Cavaliers won the NIT in 1992 and participated in the NCAA Tournament three times.
"One of the best decisions I made when I first got the job here was to hire Jason Williford," Bennett said. "His loyalty to our program, his passion for the players and his ability to recruit made this an easy decision."
Vandross served the past three seasons at UVA as director of recruiting/player development. Vandross has 18 years of Division I coaching experience. From 2011-15, Vandross spent five seasons as an assistant coach for Charlotte after serving 13 seasons as an assistant at Boston University, including three as associate head coach.

Remember The Muppet Show? This goofy series, which aired from 1976 to 1981, was, at heart, an affectionate parody of vaudeville and variety shows. The humor was broad and cheeky, a mixture of puns, pratfalls, and pop-culture riffs made all the more absurd by the "actors" who delivered the lines: a prudish eagle with a monobrow, a spacey guitarist with yarn for hair. Though the show went off the air more than twenty years ago, the Muppets have remained ubiquitous, appearing in their own movies and animated shows, not to mention toys, video games, straight-to-DVD adventures, lunch boxes, and bed sheets. BOOM! Studios' Muppet Comics go back to the original TV show for inspiration, capturing the rapid-fire delivery and groan-worthy puns of those 1970s skits while borrowing a few pages from later Muppet projects such as Muppet Treasure Island.
King Arthur, BOOM's latest offering, follows the same formula as the Muppets' big-screen adventures: take a literary classic, cast Muppets in the lead roles, then interrupt the story with lots of wordplay and breaking-the-fourth-wall humor. The very first page of King Arthur gives readers a good taste of what's to come. The first panel, which is solid black, has two word balloons superimposed on it: the first sets the scene — "Britain without a king, a dark, foreboding place" — while the second, billed as an "editor's note," provides the rimshot — "Seriously? The Dark Ages weren't this dark. Give the artist something to draw or we're all out of a job!" This gag is immediately followed by Guy Smiley introducing Excalibur as if it were a product of the Franklin Mint, a "super-rare collectible stored in this fine, quarry-themed, weather-resistant casing for years!"
We're then introduced to Arthur (played by Kermit the Frog), a downtrodden page in the employ of Sir Sam, a pompous windbag. The two banter about unions, stimulus packages, and "turning pages" — you saw that coming, didn't you? — before Arthur is dispatched to find his boss a new sword. What follows is a very loose retelling of how Arthur came to free Excalibur from the stone, filled with plenty of lively set pieces that give each Muppet a turn in the spotlight.
As with the original show, some of the jokes are great and some are lame, but the breakneck pace prevents the duds from sinking the script. The layout is clear and easy to follow, with just enough attention to costume and background detail to establish the once-upon-a-time setting. Some fans may find the character designs lack the soft, organic quality of the original puppets, as artist Dave Alvarez has given Kermit and Fozzie a more elastic appearance. (Note that the cover is not representative of the interior artwork.) Others may find the use of computer lettering on signs and background details an unappealing shortcut that's not in keeping with the story's polished visuals. On the whole, however, the artwork compliments the script's antic, anything-goes quality, endowing the characters with a greater range of expression than their Muppet doppelgangers were capable of.
I'm a little puzzled that Muppet King Arthur is part of the BOOM! Kids line — not because the jokes are raunchy or inappropriate, but because so many of them depend on knowledge of politics and current events that it's hard to imagine many eight-year-olds guffawing about the merits of democracy versus monarchy. There are certainly gags that grade schoolers can appreciate, but young kids who might be excited about a Kermit-and-Miss-Piggy comic will find the script hard to parse. Muppet King Arthur works better for tweens and teens with a sophisticated sense of humor — if yours are quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail, they're good candidates — or adults who want to indulge their nostalgia for the original show.

Isn't it a great cover? Janice was always one of my favorite Muppets, so I enjoyed her cameo as the Lady of the Lake.
I just came across this post. I haven't read the comic yet, but felt compelled to comment on your assessment of the humor. Jim Henson never intended The Muppets to be for kids. That was their magic. They were able to capture the imagination, no matter what your age was. Adults can and do enjoy Muppets as much, if not more, than the kids.
So if the writing is as you say, it's spot on and I can't wait to read it to my kids.
I know that Henson didn't intend the original show for kids, Howefitz — I was old enough to have watched the original show when it aired!
My comments about the humor are meant to help librarians who are trying to decide if this series would be a good fit with their collection. BOOM! is marketing this series to kids, which I think is a little misleading; yes, it's absolutely inoffensive, but it isn't the kind of comic that a really young reader can enjoy on her own.

Now might be a good time to exit the Windows Insider Program
@anmol_112
Oct 3, 2018 at 10:00 GMT 2 years ago
Yesterday at the Surface Event, Microsoft confirmed that build 17763 is the final RTM build for Windows 10 version 1809 aka October Update. The build is already available for both Fast and Slow Ring users.
This means that users now have the opportunity to leave Windows Insider program if they're not comfortable testing the early builds of 19H1. Usually leaving Insider program means users will have to reinstall the public version of Windows 10 but right now the public version is the same as the Insider version which happens twice a year. Microsoft might still rollout some final patches to the build before finalizing it and moving to 19H1 branch. When this happens, you will have to wait till spring of 2019 to go back to public release without the clean install.
We don't know when Microsoft will push the first 19H1 build to Fast Ring so if you're uncomfortable testing it then make sure you leave the program as soon as possible. You can do so by going to Settings>Update and Security>Windows Insider Program and clicking "Stop Insider Preview Builds". However, this doesn't mean you can't join back but the first few builds of 19H1 will be rough and it's not recommended to install them on your daily driver. That said, you can come back to Fast or Slow Ring later on when the builds have been stabilized and there are no major bugs or issues.

Dům středního Polabí je místní dobová forma lidové architektury, typická pro poměrně velké území na rozhraní východních, středních a severních Čech.

Lokalizace
Zástavbu tohoto typu lze najít v oblasti vymezené přibližně Prahou ze západu, Semily na severu a Litomyšlí na východě. Jedná se o regiony Mělnicko, Boleslavsko, Turnovsko, Kouřimsko, Poděbradsko, Nymbursko, Jičínsko, Čáslavsko, Chlumecko, Novobydžovsko, Pardubicko, Hradecko a Chrudimsko.

Charakteristické znaky
Přestože se jednalo o domy v nejbohatších (etnicky) českých zemědělských oblastech, zástavba je typicky přízemní a patrové budovy jsou spíše výjimkou. Dům byl obvykle roubený, se sedlovou střechou, s předsazenou lomenicí, bohatě zdobenou zejména klasovitým skládáním prken, a u starších staveb ve vrcholu štítu s kabřincem, případně s polovalbičkou nebo makovičkou. V konstrukci roubení se mnohdy uplatňovaly trhanice, někdy byly domy omítané hliněnou omazávkou (tzv. v kožichu). Trojdílné dispoziční uspořádání domu bylo zpravidla komorového typu, tj. světnice, síň a komora (chlév byl obvykle samostatnou budovou, případně měl v téže budově samostatný vchod). Dům byl zpravidla orientován štítem do veřejného prostoru a v čelní fasádě měl dvojici oken, často sdružených. V hospodářské části tato dobová forma někdy tvořila patro, a to zbudováním sýpky nebo komory nad přízemním chlévem.

Stavby této dobové formy jsou doloženy od 16. až do 2. poloviny 18. století, kdy je postupně začaly vytlačovat stavby zděné, případně z vepřovic.

Architektonické varianty
Lze rozlišit dvě základní varianty domu středního Polabí:

Dům bez podsíně
Domů tohoto typu se do současnosti dochovalo poměrně málo, a to většinou s velmi jednoduše členěnými nebo jen svisle bedněnými lomenicemi. Jedná se například o:

 Venkovský dům čp. 13 v Nepolisech
 Roubené stavení čp. 1 v Lukové má zvalbený štít
 Dům čp. 5 v Kosicích má rovněž polovalbičku
 Dům čp. 40 v Kosičkách
 Venkovský dům čp. 79 v Kosičkách
 Dům čp. 24 ve Vápně - v rámci pozdějších stavebních úpravy byla mj. odstraněna původní rákosová střešní krytina
 Dům čp. 48 v Zachrašťanech
 Dům čp. 12 ve Vysočanech - hodnotná lomenice s nápisem na záklopovém prkně (dům umístěn ve dvoře za novostavbou)
 Dům čp. 13 ve Vysočanech - roubený dům byl obezděn, v 80. letech 20. století pak byla část roubení znovu odkryta
 Dům čp. 50 v Barchůvku
 Dům čp. 12 v Prasku - stavba s předsazeným štítem
 Dům čp. 47 v Sekeřicích
 Dům čp. 14 v Šaplavě
 Vesnická památková zóna Nové Smrkovice (několik staveb)
 Vesnická památková zóna Libeň (několik staveb, např. čp. 1, 2, 3, 4, 10)
Dům čp. 766 v Novém Bydžově má vedlejší světnici se samostatnou sedlovou střechou
Dům čp. 5 v Chmelovicích má zajímavou lomenici - horní třetina skládána klasovitě, spodní část ve střední partii svisle a v trojúhelníkových partiích diagonálně
Dům čp. 46 ve Volanicích - štít je předsazen před čelo přízemí, lomenice se střídavou klasovitou skladbou
Domy čp. 61, 62 a 138 v Ohnišťanech
Dům v Říční ulici čp. 76 v Chlumci nad Cidlinou má zvalbený štít
Dům čp. 14 ve Zdechovicích
Dům čp. 18 v Hrobičanech
Příklady starších roubených domů bez podsíně, které byly později obezděny nebo nově vyzděny:

 Dům čp. 35 v Pamětníku
 Dům čp. 14 v Písku
 Dům čp. 3 v Sekeřicích
 Dům čp. 43 ve Staré Vodě

Dům s podsíní
Polabský dům s podsíní se vyskytoval na území středního a východočeského Polabí, dosud je několik staveb zachováno především na Nymbursku. Zajímavé je, že podsíně se vyskytovaly především u malých usedlostí.

Zatímco v městské zástavbě sloužila podsíň typicky pro nabídku zboží a jako krytá komunikace podél domovních průčelí, ve vesnické zástavbě plnila zřejmě funkci dobře osvětleného a zároveň chráněného prostoru pro drobné práce (světnice mívala pouze malá okna a neposkytovala tak dostatek světla). Prostor byl ovšem využitelný jen v průběhu teplé části roku, čímž lze vysvětlit jeho uplatnění právě v klimaticky příznivém Polabí.

Zachovalou ukázkou tohoto typu domu je dům čp. 38 v Hlušičkách. Roubený dům je zvenčí omítnut. Předsunutý štít je vynesen na prodloužených trámech věnce domu a samotné loubí podsíně máš spíš dekorativní charakter.

Kovárna ve Starém Bydžově, rovněž s podsíní, byla postavená z trhanic a zbořená roku 1969. Její kopie je dnes postavena v Muzeu lidových staveb v Kouřimi.

Podobně chalupa s podsíní, která stála původně v Oskořínku čp. 65 na Nymbursku, byla v roce 2012 přesunuta do Polabského národopisného muzea v Přerově nad Labem.

Pfister, Michael ; Lucas, J. ; Hager, W.
Flip buckets are terminal spillway elements, generating free jets for energy dissipation. Deflectors are an alternative to flip buckets with constructional ease yet of similar hydraulic features. A first experimental study published at the 33rd IAHR Congress, Vancouver, investigated deflectorgenerated jets in terms of their air concentration characteristics. For jet impact onto a movable bed, the scour potential reduces as the jet air content increases. It was demonstrated that the jet air concentration development is a function of its relative black-water core length, depending on the approach flow parameters and the deflector geometry. Jet-generating structures are located at the end of spillways, where high-speed flow with considerable air transport prevails, affecting the jet parameters, such that additional experiments were conducted involving pre-aerated approach flow. The effect of pre-aeration on the air concentration development of deflector-generated jets is discussed and compared with un-aerated approach flow.

Snap's unusual structure has created breakthroughs but could it break the company
Femmy Lucas Last updated on January 7th, 2018
This fall, employees on the product team of Snap received a surprising message from CEO Evan Spiegel telling them to stop what they were working on. Plans have changed.
Since its stock price was falling and user growth was stagnant, Snap would undertake a mad dash to overhaul its flagship app. In just over six weeks starting in October, the company shifted 100 engineers to the project codenamed "Cheetah" aimed at simplifying Snapchat in a way that shifts its focus from big publishers back to close friends.
The result, which creates a separate, dynamic feed for content from your friends and another one for publishers and other users who don't follow you, is supposed to be rolling out to users although Snap is yet reveal when to expect it.
Snap has placed the redesign as a more evolved form of social media. "While blurring the lines between professional content creators and your friends has been an interesting internet experiment, it has also produced some strange side-effects (like fake news) and made us feel like we have to perform for our friends rather than just express ourselves," the company said in a statement.
The hub-and-spoke model means the company can sometimes iterate faster than its peers, cutting through internal politics to arrive at visionary breakthroughs. However, the model can also create bottlenecks that result in core complaints going unaddressed for months or years, confirmed by insiders. Among other consequences, Spiegel's more deliberate approach can put the company at a disadvantage to Facebook, which has not just cloned its most successful products, but has also rapidly iterated on them.
Furthermore, at Snap, Spiegel's priorities reign supreme, and everything else is secondary. Spiegel's instincts have also led the company astray. Former employees said Snapcash and Spectacles has cost the company time and money. Snap lost an eye-popping $443 million in the past quarter. The company's stock price has declined by $15 billion, or about 60 percent, since it went public in March.

Home BLOGS In the City Parlem?
In Madrid on September 27th, a ¿Parlem? sign was hung outside the Señora Rushmore advertising agency, highlighting the need for a mediation between the two governments. Since then, political parties including Podemos and Partido Nacionalista Vasco who, among others, came together in Zaragoza on September 24th to discuss the conflict in Catalunya, met again yesterday to propose the organisation of an international or national mediation. Following the meeting, Puigdemont mentioned mediation in his address to the public last night. However, the address was quickly followed by Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría who said that no mediation will take place until Puigdemont gets back on the 'legal path'.


Christopher Titmuss will facilitate the meditation group on the evenings in Totnes of Thursday, 11 January 2019 and Thursday 24 January 2019 starting at 7.30 pm and finishes around 9 pm.
We have a number of teachers who regularly lead the evening, giving some meditation instruction and Dharma (the Buddha's) teachings. We have close links with Gaia House, and many of our teachers also teach there.
The evening begins with some chanting, followed by 40 minutes meditation, some teaching and discussion – often ending with a short meditation and/or some more chanting.
Newcomers are always welcome. Please bring your own cushion or bench if you prefer to sit on the ground.
We suggest a donation of £3 to £5 to help pay for the costs of the room and teachers' dana (donation).

Tackling modern slavery is a job for everyone
20 Feb 2020 Ryan Miller Last updated: 20 Feb 2020
It's not very often that the public is at the forefront of dealing with serious crime. But, when it comes to slavery, we should all be vigilant.
Modern slavery is an underreported crime. The extent to which it is underreported is difficult to know. Both these facts are inherent.
This is because victims of slavery are generally reluctant or unable to come forward and speak with police. At the same time, those who perpetrate slavery try to protect themselves by keeping the crime hidden - whether behind closed doors or in plain sight.
According to the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner's strategic plan for 2019-21, an estimated 136,000 people in the UK are living in modern slavery (figures parsed from the Global Slavery Index).
That's an extraordinary figure - just over one in every 500 people.
Applying that same percentage to Northern Ireland provides an estimate of almost 4,000 people here living in slavery. That is a crude assumption but still serves some indication of the scale of the problem.
Yet according to the latest figures, covering the period between April and October 2019, the PSNI investigated 54 referrals to the National Referral Mechanism (the NRM is the framework for identifying and supporting victims of human trafficking and/or modern slavery). This was up from 33 referrals over the same six-month period in 2018.
Those living in modern slavery rarely reveal themselves to authorities. They live in fear. Those keeping them enslaved apply all sorts of pressure to ensure their crimes remain hidden. This can be coercion, threats of violence, actual violence, or a complete denial of real contact with the outside world.
Dealing with modern slavery requires other people to spot the signs.
In some ways, Northern Ireland has more robust measures to deal with slavery than other parts of the UK.
Per the Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner's current strategic plan: "Health practitioners are well placed to identify victims of modern slavery who may seek help for many kinds of mental or physical health problems."
This makes sense. Victims of slavery may have few contacts with statutory services, and few personal interactions that are not overseen by their captors.
Yet Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK where health professionals can refer directly to the National Referral Mechanism. Each health trust has a dedicated referral team.
The Commissioner's plan to take on slavery has four priorities:
Improving victim care and support
Supporting law enforcement and prosecution
Focusing on prevention
Getting value from research and innovation
Dame Sara Thornton DBE QPM, the current Anti-Slavery Commissioner, added: "My priorities rightly focus on victim protection and the prosecution of traffickers, but I also want to focus on the prevention of modern slavery and human trafficking. We need to do much more to tackle the systemic issues that allow the crime to thrive.
"There are encouraging signs that businesses are taking steps to reduce slave labour in their products and services, but much remains to be done. In particular we need to raise the awareness of consumers and citizens–we are often closer than we realise to the exploitation of others.
"Concern about the social cost of products and services needs to match our concerns for the environmental cost."
Public onus
The public's role here is paramount. That means everyone.
This is why the Department of Justice's messaging about modern slavery is focused on public awareness, asking people to "be vigilant for signs of slavery and trafficking happening in Northern Ireland."
This is why the messaging is keen to list some of the signs of modern slavery, namely:
Someone who is distrustful of authorities;
Someone who appears to be under the control of others;
An over-crowded house or flat;
Someone who is unsure of their address or the local area;
Someone who may not have cash because they can't keep the money they earn or
Someone who can't produce their passport or personal documents.
Claire Archbold, Director of Safer Communities Department of Justice, said: "I would appeal to people to be vigilant about the existence of modern slavery in Northern Ireland.
"The Department aims to prevent people from getting drawn into slavery by reducing the vulnerability of those who may be targeted by traffickers and enslavers; and ensuring that the general public is equipped to spot the signs of exploitation and report any suspicions."
It is unusual for justice officials to put so much effort into getting the public to engage with tackling crime. But modern slavery is an unusual crime.
This isn't about police failings. It goes to the nature of the crime. Modern slavery could be anywhere. It could be in your town, on your street, in the house next door. And victims tend to avoid the authorities rather than speak up. That's why public vigilance is so important.

ANGEL AND FAITH #16 Review →
Movie Review: THE DAY
"THE DAY," is a surprisingly good horror movie that makes the most of its bleak environment. Stripped down to the essentials, this post-Apoc B-movie-style film presents us with a group of ragtag survivors who are on the run. It's only later that we find out what it is that they're running from. The group is made up of just enough members to give us a Scooby gang. There are two women and three men. At first, you really can't tell them much apart since none of the actors stand out. Two of the actors may as well be twins: two mellow young guys with beards. It's not until we get some sense of conflict that one actor emerges from the pack. It's a scene early on in the movie, after the group has found the usual horror movie abandoned farmhouse to camp out in.
The two women have been sent out to forage. While they're out in the woods, one woman turns on the other. She complains to her companion that she had better learn to socialize, that she had better start speaking up, say anything, since they are all family now. The woman just stares back. And that is our rising star, Ashley Bell, who made her mark as the possessed Nell Sweetzer in "The Last Exorcism." In an impressive cast of actors, it's Ashley Bell by a mile. It's on her shoulders that this whole movie pivots. Bell knows how to brood and to build up tension. Before you know it, when she finally speaks, you are hanging on her every word. That, my friends, is not what usually happens in something that's just a B-movie.
Another point of distinction: Luke Passmore's script. There are plenty of clever twists in this film to keep any horror and film buff content. It is also noteworthy in how we are lulled into believing in these characters. The dialogue is earthy and what you'd expect from a group of young people, especially a group in a crisis. Director Doug Aarniokoski has created a musky and creepy world with little, if no hope, for survival with the light only coming from what the characters may still do to make sense out of it all. Because, remember, this group was running away from something and that something is determined to find them.
Shot in black and white, with muted colors (along with some full color flashbacks), "The Day" has the look and feel of an old scary movie as well as the intelligence to know how to take things further. It does push limits. There are some scenes where the violence is raised to a fever pitch. In lesser hands, that could easily have become too much but this movie strikes a good balance. If you stick with it, brave through the blood and gore, you'll see just what a gem it really is.
"The Day" enjoyed a successful world premiere at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival and was released in theaters earlier this year.
"The Day," from WWE Studios and Anchor Bay Films, is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.

Q: sum results in drupal webform grid I created a webform in drupal, and added a grid component in it.
The grid has 13 questions and 3 options (good, bad, terrible).
its like a poll and people come and answer the questions.
in results, i have sum for each option in each question.
what i need is sum for options in all of questions.
for example i need a sum row in grid footer!
i tried webform submissions in views, but it does not give me the data stored in grid.
needless to say i'm noob in php and i dont know how to make tpl.
image in this link says it all:
i need sum row in grid footer

A: If you have created your grid using a custom code, you can add required rows to as you do with normal html. Then you can calculate totals in javascript/jquery and set the totals into above added row columns. To access elements easily you have to maintain html ids and classes accordingly.
However if you can explain the full scenario, it will be easy for us to look at the drupal's point of view.

Pagani Huayra Tricolori is the Fabergé egg of the hypercar world
Somnath Chatterjee
You cannot accuse the Pagani Huayra of lacking in theatre or pantomime. The successor to the critically acclaimed Zonda, the Huayra, has seen various iterations over the years. Each one is wilder and even more extreme with a ruthless dedication to art and performance. Pagani Automobili has been known for that and is a major player in the hypercar business with its expertise in design, craftsmanship, and state-of-the-art composite materials. No one does carbon fiber in hypercars better than Pagani, as does the insane attention to detail that oozes from their cars.
The latest one is the Huayra Tricolori, and just like the Zonda Tricolore, this special edition is a tribute to the Italian Air Force Aerobatic Team. Revealed on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the Frecce Tricolori, only three examples of this hypercar would be built, thus making the € 5,500,000 + VAT list price a tad obsolete.
In 2010, to celebrate the 50 years, Pagani did the Zonda Tricolore, of which again only three examples were made. Pagani says that amongst all of the Zonda models, this is the most sought after. We would not debate that.
Back the Huayra Tricolore and the MB-339A aircraft of the National Aerobatic Patrol was the biggest inspiration for the design. It gets a new body designed from advanced composite materials. Simultaneously, the Pagani V12 engine has been updated for more, plus various aeronautics-derived technologies have been poured into the making of this special car.
Looking more like a fighter jet, the Huayra Tricolore has a new front bumper with side extractors, while there is also a new air scoop and a rear wing. Even the tail fin's shape is similar to the jet, while the new wheels mimic a propeller's design in a turbine.
There is a Pilot tube in the center of the front hood, an instrument that allows each aircraft to measure the macroscopic airspeed and, therefore, determine the aircraft's aerodynamic condition. Of course, the most recognizable bit is the livery, which is a tricolor.
The new Pagani V12 powers the Huayra Tricolore, the twin-turbo engine specially developed by Mercedes-AMG. The numbers are pure hypercar, and while not quite having the Chiron like 1000 plus hp, the 840hp and the 1100Nm of torque makes this one of the fastest cars since it is much lighter. The new chassis is made from the latest generation composite materials, such as Carbo-Titanium HP62 G2 and Carbo-Triax HP62, which has enabled considerable change to torsional and flexural rigidity.
The Tricolore is all about an emotive driving experience; hence the usual dual-clutch automatic gearbox has been binned in favor of a seven-speed sequential gearbox like the standard Huaryra (if such a thing exists).
However, more than all of that, the fact that something so mundane as the gear knob is carved from a single block of aluminum and carbon while then milled through a five-axis numerical control center plus finally hand polished with the special transparent treatment shows that how each Pagani car is made with painstaking craftsmanship hence elevating it to a piece of art rather than a mere motor car. There is nothing else like this on the market, and it is perhaps staying true to the purest expression of what a hypercar should be.
It is not about plain numbers or how fast it would go, as to how it achieves that speed with raw emotion, and how it makes you feel when you clap your eyes at it for the first time is ultimately more important. Job well done on that front, Pagani!
For me, the biggest luxury is the freedom to go anywhere at any-time and that is something which the humble automobile gives us. Been in love with cars for as long as I can remember and have been writing about them for nearly a decade now. Specialize in reporting about luxury and performance automobiles while having driven everything from a Ferrari to a Beetle!

Living in space doesn't come cheap. A report from NASA's internal auditor, inspector general Paul Martin, says the space agency has underestimated the cost of keeping the International Space Station running until 2024. In particular, buying flights to the ISS from private companies rather than Russia is expected to increase costs.
Last week, NASA awarded contracts totalling $6.8 billion to Boeing and SpaceX, who will begin launching astronauts to the ISS on board private spacecraft in 2017. The agency currently buys rides on a Russian Soyuz craft for more than $70 million a seat, but is under pressure from US politicians to resume launches from US soil.
NASA expects its annual spend on the ISS to increase from $3 billion to $4 billion over the next 10 years, with the largest increase coming from transportation costs. Martin says these estimates are unrealistic, because NASA is using the Soyuz price as a baseline for private flights and is likely to have to pay Boeing and SpaceX more than it pays Russia.
It may also have to stump up for more un-crewed cargo missions to the station if international partners don't maintain supply runs. The European Space Agency has already retired its cargo ships, and Japan and Russia have not yet committed to an extension past 2020.
Efforts to attract private research money to the ISS have also been unsuccessful. Martin thinks that private firms like pharmaceutical companies are put off by restrictions that grant the US government patent rights for any research done on the space station, and that NASA must push Congress harder for changes in legislation that would let firms retain their patents.


From the side, this looks very much like a GM product to me. For some reason.
Upfront, it is basically a bigger Santa Fe with more bits and chrome.
Here is what the new Palisade is based on: the Grandmaster Concept.
And yes, the Grandmaster should have become a Genesis SUV. Not a Hyundai.
Wow.... looks like a GMC Arcadia made love with an ugly Lexus grill.
Very nice. These guys are truly moving upmarket. Good for them. And if, to some eyes, it looks like the Acadia, if I were GM I would be worrying.
One of the worst front ends on a modern car. Almost has the Avalon beat.
That chrome is just putrid. Such lazy, dated detailing for it to (like a late 2000s pickup truck).
Ruins an otherwise fine looking SUV. Hyundai has fallen so far from their design grace a few years back. More messy, less taste.
Vince, This is a Russian CG. Not real at all.
I like the Telluride design better. This is not ugly. But to me the Teeluride looks more of a Truck.this looks like a GMC or old Saturn Outlook/Acadia. I like the Acadia.
Reminds me of the Chevy Traverse, not a bad thing to look like.
It looks upscale for a Hyundai. Lovely design and I like the grille. Every one is heading in the same direction anyway. And they just hired a Lambo/Bentley executive to head up their design. A V8 would be a stupid move however.


GatewayRedbirds.com • View topic - What's your Harper Hunch?
Post subject: Re: What's your Harper Hunch?
STL fans believing the top FA isn't worth it no matter what is so odd to me. People still believe STL bid against themselves for Holliday, one of the best long FA signings ever. They could have had Jason Bay AND Chone Figgins for the same price!!!
DeWitt/Mo would stay on 8-8 with the dealer showing a 6 and have convinced most fans it's the right move.
It doesn't matter which is which because they're all obviously offensive forces. If they were all a FA at the same time you could make an argument as to who should be signed, but it would matter because they're all [expletive] powerhouses. The thing is, only one of them is available right now. You don't have to trade top prospects AND assume the contract. You can just sign him.
The Cardinals are in a perfect spot to get Harper.
Take out the outlier on harper...was a fluke. Has never and will never come close again.
I'd take Machado. But his bat won't carry him when he moves to 1B, and he doesn't have Harper upside.
Harper doesn't have what some people believe Harper's upside is. He's in his mid-20s. If he was going to establish himself as a perennial MVP candidate he'd have done it by now like ARod, Bonds, Pujols, Trout and others before him.
Machado already has three seasons over 6 fWAR and one at 5. We don't need to dream on him to make him 3X better than a league average player, he's already there.
Those of you who are siding with the owners, do you think Cardinals tickets, or merchandise, or cable costs, will be cheaper in 2019 if we don't sign Harper? Did you believe the Cardinals FO in previous years when they talked about saving payroll muscle for the future, or keeping their powder dry for a big name free agent? If so, how many more years of them not signing a big free agent will it take for you to doubt that they've actually been lying since 2010 or so?
You must be on the wrong message board.
Not one person/zero posters have sided with any owner in this thread that I have seen.
"Take out the outlier year on Harper" is the worst and most tiring argument I've seen and is mostly used by the pro-owner crowd I've noticed. Hey even if you take it out, he's good as hell.
funny; just a few weeks ago, someone posted stats about a player over the last 3 years, and you said who cares about what someone did 3 years ago??
and saying he is not worth it, does not make someone "pro-owner" unless they have a comprehension problem.
I absolutely want the Owner to pony up the cash and sign Harper and Machado.
If he doesn't I will be upset, but I will still watch the games and follow the team and live and die by the scores.
I want the players to get every penny they deserve.

The Adler, lever-actions, regulations and the role of the SSAA
Presidents Message/National News
The SSAA, our members and licensed firearms owners have once again experienced a tumultuous few weeks of politics and negativity towards our chosen sport and pastime, with a new import Adler lever-action shotgun exposed to selective and biased media coverage.
When news of the Adler broke in June, it was reported in an audacious way using terms such as 'rapid fire' and 'new technology', which caused undue unrest with some politicians. The SSAA received many inquiries from concerned members regarding this negative media coverage, with some questioning possible restrictions extending to other lever-action firearms.
As the SSAA National President, I can assure members that the SSAA has been actively investigating the situation and has been in contact with the authorities regarding any proposed changes to current regulations. SSAA National will be meeting with the Federal Attorney-General's Department this month, where we will discuss this issue, along with the ongoing review into the technicalities of the National Firearms Agreement (NFA).
At a federal level, we have been assured by Justice Minister Michael Keenan's office that no decision has been made regarding the NFA. We have also been guaranteed that there will be consultation with key stakeholders including the SSAA and firearms industry representatives before any changes are made. Any recommendations will not be considered until the next Council of Australian Governments (COAG) meeting, scheduled for 2016. Update: A decision to temporarily ban the importation of the Adler lever-action shotgun was made on July 26 and we wrote an open letter to Justice Minister Keenan about the issue on July 27.
Members may be aware that we issued a press release raising our concerns about the media coverage surrounding lever-actions, and we have responded to many media calls. I also penned a frank and forthright opinion piece for a newspaper highlighting our concerns. The press release and my opinion column are available on our website, which has recently been revamped to a more modern, user-friendly and aesthetically pleasing platform.
While we note that some firearms groups have suggested there could be a ban on lever-actions, at this stage we do not believe this to be the case.
If members would like to contact their local MP, this would be a good opportunity to remind politicians that the resources and time of police and authorities would be better spent targeting the illegal firearms threat, rather than further onerous regulations against licensed, law-abiding firearms owners.
On another note, I would personally like to express my gratitude to our members for the solid and consistent support, particularly in difficult and challenging times. The SSAA is a broad church. We are proud to cater for the obvious sports shooters and recreational hunters, but more often than not, this goes hand in hand with a love of the great outdoors.
Many of our members also participate in recreational fishing, four-wheel driving adventures, boating, camping and other activities that allow them to enjoy the outdoors, in a society that sometimes relies too heavily on technology to provide entertainment. It is because of our members' love of the great outdoors that the SSAA can actively play a part in restoring and preserving the environment.
In a time when families are living in smaller houses and our cities are rapidly expanding, the concept of 'environment' is changing. We encourage our members to remain connected with the great Australian outback, the natural environment, and reap the physical, mental and overall health benefits that come with simply being outdoors.
I thank you for your unwavering support, and I can assure you that the SSAA will continue to actively protect our members' interests and freedoms as we have done since 1948.

Q: SP 2010 Custom Access Denied Pages - 403 error I've used the following powershell script to change the default access denied page for my web Application:
Set-SPCustomLayoutsPage -Identity "AccessDenied" -RelativePath "/_layouts/Custom/AccessDenied.aspx" -WebApplication "MyWebApp"

My Web Server (wfe) is behind an UAG server and I receive the following error:
This error (HTTP 403 Forbidden) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.
(My custom AccessDenied.aspx page is based on a custom application page OOTB VS2010)
Update:
When I copy paste the OOTB AccessDenied.aspx page and make a small change, this error does not come up and the page is displayed correctly...
It looks like an issue with the master page it's using, when using the simple.master I have no problems, when you try to apply a custom or default the error pops up

A: I had the same behavior on my site. (SP2010 Enterprise using Windows auth (NTLM)).
The way I solved it is to create a _layouts deployment project to deploy my custom401.aspx (will come back to it).
Updated my webapplication with:
$urlWebApplication = "http://myApp"
$pathPage401 = "/_layouts/myproject/custom401.aspx"

#Change 401 page for webapp
Set-SPCustomLayoutsPage -Identity AccessDenied -WebApplication $urlWebApplication -RelativePath $pathPage401

#Check if changed

Get-SPCustomLayoutsPage -WebApplication $urlWebApplication

IISRESET

For the aspx page, there are 2 important steps.:

*

*Make sure your page inherits UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase and not the default.

*Make sure the masterpage is referenced using:
MasterPageFile="~/_layouts/simple.master"

and not:
DynamicMasterPageFile="~masterurl/default.master"

as it will try to access resources on the site which will trigger the 403.
Beside that it's pretty straightforward.

A: By default VS.NET 2010 uses LayoutsPageBase as your base class. You need to modify it to UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase so that your custom access denied page is derived from UnsecuredLayoutsPageBase.
