A great deal of discussion at technology conferences involves success - what's the next big thing, how great and smart we all are, and so on. So for a while I've wanted to start to discuss the opposite and explore the lessons of failure, as I suspect that when some project succeeds, it's hard to identify exactly what made it happen, but when something goes wrong, it's pretty obvious.
Over the few years I've built a number of things, some of which succeeded spectacularly, a few of which did ok, and many that sank directly under the waves without making so much as a splash. I like to pretend that I've learned a thing or two from those failures.
So at this year's Foo Camp, I ran a session called "That Sucked" which allowed people to bring up some hairy problem they had, and how they solved it. As we went through various problems I tried to identify the true source of blame and note it on the board. Not to anyone's suprise, a great deal of angst centered around databases and encoding (especially Unicode). An especially painful story from David Heinmeier Hansson about both had everyone nodding in comisery, and Paul Graham recounted his first encounter with printf debugging.
After the session, a number of people approached me to talk about things they were too embarassed to bring up in group, many of which which were even better. I would love to see an entire meeting about this stuff, as it seems like lots of painful lessons could be applied to all. But barring that -- anyone got any particularly good stories?

Mirvish Village Public Art Plan Pays Tribute to the Site's Past
Westbank Corp's Mirvish Village redevelopment, now under construction at the former Honest Ed's site in Downtown Toronto, has been largely praised for the way it approached the planning process. Because the site was special to so many Torontonians, community consultations and design refinements continued for almost two years before reaching the development plan's final version. Residents wanted a worthy successor to the fine-grained retail and unique streetscape environment that Honest Ed's and the adjacent Mirvish Village previously embodied. As construction on the development progresses, Westbank is now starting to give us a better idea as to what's in store for the public realm.
Westbank founder Ian Gillespie announces Frank Stella project, image from the UrbanToronto Forum.
Last night at a Westbank event for another of their projects—KING Toronto—it was revealed that world-renowned artist Frank Stella has been commissioned to design a number of public art pieces to bring life to the neighbourhood. Stella has worked with the Mirvishes in the past, designing the entire decorative scheme for the Princess of Wales Theatre, making him a fitting choice for the job.
Inspiration for the project, Stella says, was drawn from a piece of his previous work; Damascus Gate, a 50 foot painting that was displayed in David Mirvish Books—one of the Mirvish Village's most popular businesses—for 35 years. The painting, part of Stella's Protractor Series that focuses on angles, curves and fluorescent colours, first premiered at the opening show of the Mirvish Gallery in 1963 and was later displayed at the Art Gallery of Ontario, before retiring to the independent bookstore until its closure in 2009.

Mirvish Village will have a number of Stella-designed sculptures that, like the original painting, will use a combination of abstract geometric shapes and bright fluorescent colours. The sculptures offer a more modern take on the original painting's concept, similar to how the redeveloped Mirvish Village will modernize the traits of its previous iteration.
Stay tuned, we will keep you updated as the construction and formation of this unique site progress over the next few years. You will find several more images of what's coming in our database file for the project, linked below.

Homeless community protests Berkeley homeless services system

Berkeley issues dispersal order to homeless community occupation at Old City Hall
A tent city sits in the median at the intersection of Adeline and Ward streets in Berkeley, as members of the homeless community continue to protest the Hub — the city's homeless services system — for its alleged inefficiency in providing homeless Berkeley citizens with housing and other services.
The demonstration began last week when protesters set up tents outside the Hub's office, according to mayoral candidate and protester Guy "Mike" Lee. After police cleared out the encampment last Friday, the protesters moved their tents to the median where they have remained since Monday.
The Hub was established in January of this year to replace the city's prior system of providing homeless services, which involved funding a variety of different non-profit agencies, according to city spokesperson Matthai Chakko. Chakko stated that the city switched to the new system because the former system had been confusing for some people who needed services and often resulted in people with the most need going without assistance.
The Hub is intended for those members of the homeless community who are most in need of services, such as those who suffer from chronic homelessness, disability or mental illness, according to Chakko.
Mike Zint, founder of First They Came for the Homeless, explained how a disabled homeless woman involved in the protest has not received housing from the Hub, despite her physical disability. Zint said he believes there to be a disconnect between the homeless and the Hub staff regarding their situation and the services they require.
"We've been snubbed by the Hub," Lee said.
Lee alleged that the Hub has not been providing services, including the allocation of housing, to members of the homeless community and that the Hub has not notified them of other options available to them.
According to the Hub's website, the organization matches homeless individuals with appropriate housing and provides services for navigating the housing process or gives referrals to other services depending on the level of need of the individual.
"Getting services to people who are homeless is not easy work," Chakko said. "It takes repeated and sustained effort … to get them housing and things they need. The staff at Hub work very hard to deliver services that people need."
According to Lee, many of the homeless individuals involved in the protest have tried to obtain housing through the Hub's intake process but have not had their applications or paperwork processed. Chakko said that aspects of the Hub's intake process, including the completion of paperwork, is required by the federal government in order for the Hub to receive funding.
Lee also complained that the Hub places some of the homeless in housing outside of Berkeley.
Former chair of the Berkeley Homeless Task Force Genevieve Wilson stated that the Hub is unable to provide housing in Berkeley due to the limited number of buildings available for housing in the city.
"The Hub is sort of stuck because they exist to help move people into housing, but they don't build housing stock themselves," Wilson said. "They can advocate for more housing stock but ultimately city has to get behind building more affordable housing."
Zint stated that if the tent city is raided, they intend to continue their protest outside the homes of Mayor Tom Bates and the City Council members.
"Don't deny us the ability to shelter ourselves," Zint said.

A video version of this tutorial can be viewed at the Corel Discovery Center. In this part of the series on Enhancing your Photos for Social Media you will learn how to use the Blemish fixer, Tooth Brush, Red Eye remover and Skin Smoothing tools to improve the quality of your profile pictures.
1. Open the photo in PaintShop Pro and make sure that the Edit tab is active.
2. Select the Makeover Tools from the Standard Toolbar.
The Makeover tool options will show up at the top of the screen in the Interactive Properties bar.
3. Click on the Blemish Fixer tool and then zoom into the area you're going to be working on by rolling your mouse wheel forward or by using the Zoom tool at the top of your screen. The size of the tool can be changed so that the inner circle exactly covers the blemish or mark. The outer ring is used to sample color that will fill the inner ring and make the spot disappear.
4. After the adjustments are complete you can zoom back out.
5. To whiten teeth, select the Toothbrush tool and then click once on the teeth to see instant whitening.
In this example the default Strength of 50% is used but if the image you're working with requires more or less correction, the strength can be changed in the Interactive Properties menu.
6. The Red Eye Remover is located in the same area as the Makeover tools in the standard Toolbar. After clicking on the tool, zoom into the area you're going to be working on.
7. Place the circle over each pupil and click once; this will instantly darken the area. The size of the red eye removal tool can be adjusted so that it matches the pupils.
8. Skin smoothing eliminates wrinkles, bumps, bruises and rough areas, giving a portrait a nice finishing touch. To do this, click on the Adjust menu and then select Skin Smoothing.
With Preview on Image checked, adjust the Amount of smoothing by dragging the gage between 1 and 100. In this example set the amount of smoothing to 50%. You will be able to see the results taking place on the image and then click OK.
Using Makeover tools and skin smoothing feature appropriately can make any profile photo, from Facebook to LinkedIn, appear as professional as a magazine model shoot.

For the last two years I've made extensive use of the nVidia Quadro FX 5800 GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) to crunch through trillions of calculations required in my antenna simulation and design work. I'm now in the process of upgrading one of my workstation computers accept an even more powerful GPU solution; the nVidia Tesla C2070. The compute power of these devices is simply mind-blowing. For example, the C2070 has 448 CUDA cores, 6 GB of RAM and can push through in excess of 1 Tera FLOP (Floating Point Operation) per second. The Quadro is an older model with only 240 cores and 4 GB of RAM but it's still 10 to 80 times faster than my dual quad-core Intel Xeon machine on the antenna calculations! Simply amazing!
More amazing is that nVidia markets even higher performance GPU's to gamers. Cards such as the nVidia GeForce GTX 590 are even faster than Tesla and Quadro for gaming applications. The difference is that Tesla and Quadro are aimed at scientists and engineers who demand ultra reliability, super efficient double precision calculations, and larger RAM memories to hold simulation data. The latest Tesla cards also use ECC (Error Correction Code) memory to help ensure that simulation results are not polluted by the occasional random memory error. None of these factors matter for gamers so the GeForce cards are substantially cheaper and sold to the masses at retail outlets such as Best Buy.
Now, what does any of this have to do with the security of your data? Well, there are several things to consider. Each somewhat tangentially affecting either your security or your computer's reliability.
First, as I mentioned in this post, hackers are using these video card / GPU solutions to hack your passwords using brute force. Next time you're walking down the aisle at Best Buy or browsing Tiger Direct perhaps you'll take notice and see how cheap this incredible computing power has become and take to heart my message to use really good passwords!
Second, it occurred to me that many of you may want to consider buying one of these new video cards to improve your gaming experience or the responsiveness of your CAD programs at work. Who knows, some of you may even want to start experimenting with hacking passwords? Whatever your end use, I wanted to remind you that adding such a potent video card / GPU may require you to upgrade your power supply as well as your motherboard and cooling capabilities. As you can imagine, the faster we compute, the more power we draw. The newest GPU cards have substantial power requirements. Consider that the older Quadro FX 5800 is specified at 189 Watts, the Tesla C2070 at 235 Watts, and the GTX 590 an astonishing 365 Watts!
which has all the common CPU's, video cards, and accessories in a database so you don't have to look up specs on every device in your computer. Once you know you've got enough power, you should confirm that the power supply can provide sufficient current and has the proper connectors to support the graphics card. You'll also need to determine if your motherboard has the proper slots to accept the card. Most high-end video / GPU cards need a PCIe X16 slot. If you don't have one you're probably looking at a motherboard / CPU / memory upgrade too which probably signals the need for a whole new computer.
Lastly, even if you're not in the market for a new graphics cards, you are well advised to check the power budget of your current computer to make sure your power supply is adequate to handle whatever devices you've added to it since you bought it. An overloaded power supply is a potential failure point that can impact your data so I suggest you take a moment now to check it out!
I've added an article on building a GPU Workstation that my also be of interest.

In ceiling speakers can be the difference between a good sound system, and a great one. In order to get the best in ceiling speakers for you, there are a few different things you should take into consideration.
Whilst I do like a traditional set of speakers, there is something attractive about having your speakers subtly placed throughout the ceiling and walls of your house. The right set of speakers can be as effective, if not better than the traditional ones you might be used to. And, you have the added bonus of them not clogging up your lounge or taking up precious space in your bedroom.
If you're looking to improve the listening experience in your home, you're in the right place.
Editor's Note – Are Ceiling Speakers Actually Any Good?
Can I use in wall speakers in my ceiling?
What is the difference between a two-way and a three-way system?
Do I need a three-way sound system, then?
What does directional speakers mean?
How many in ceiling speakers does my room need?
Before you choose your in ceiling speakers, you'll want to consider which brand and warranty will suit you best. Of course, going with a reputable brand like Polk or Klipsch will ensure that you won't need to worry about your speakers breaking, which can be a concern for many. I won't recommend any speakers here that I haven't personally used or thoroughly investigated myself.
If you have read any of my other posts on the website, then you'll know one thing; I love Polk. I've used their products in many of my projects already, and I actually use these speakers in my own home so I have little trouble recommending them to you guys.
If there's one thing that I like about the RC80i's, it is the high quality material that they are made from This separates these speaker from the competition. The cone is a mineral-filed polymer composite, and the surround is made from rubber. This is a nice surprise, as many in ceiling speakers use foam for the surround,which doesn't have the longevity that rubber does.
You can swivel the tweeter to any 15 degree angle, which is good if you want to specifically target an area of the room or if you have an awkward angle for where you want to install your in ceiling speaker. This is great, and increases the clarity that you'll get throughout your home, which is of utmost importance.
By using high quality materials to put these speakers together, Polk have produced probably the best in ceiling speakers that you" be able to find on the market within it's price range.
Top quality materials used help to create some of the clearest quality sounds you'll find at all frequencies. Unlike some other ceiling speakers, these don't struggle to deal with lower frequencies and are capable of producing some pretty comprehensive bass.
The warranty that you get from Polk is very comprehensive. I've returned products to them in the past with no trouble whatsoever.
You don't need a room full of these speakers to get a good sound; two or four of these would be ideal With some less powerful speakers, you'll need 6 or more to get a decent sound flowing through your household.
For speakers that are of such high quality in general, I wish they'd have put a bit more effort into the grill. It's pretty flimsy, and you have to be ultra careful if removing the grill for any reason.
The templates are kinda small, so you might need to do some improvising if you're install these in ceiling speakers yourself. personally though, I would advise you get someone else to install them unless you have some prior experience with install audio equipment.
Scattered 4 of these around your ceiling and you'll have a great cinema experience. Polk speakers are the best.
Pyle produce some of the better quality budget speakers, finding a pretty good line between cost efficiency and creating a quality speaker. You don't want to cut corners too much and go for the very cheapest speakers, otherwise you'll end up with a terrible sound that might not do the other speakers in your system justice.
With a 1 inch titanium dome tweeter, you can be sure that you'll get some good, responsive sounds when playing things at a higher frequency. This is especially important for watching movies, as the quality of the dialogue that you'll get from these ceiling speakers is particularly impressive.
Available in both a 6.5 inch and 8 inch setup, this pair of in ceiling speakers is a great option for those who don't want to break the bank. They're 125 watt (each) speakers, which should be sufficient for the majority of people; my rule is not to get anything less than 100, just incase you do need that extra power at some point.
For the best performance for any in ceiling speakers, you'll want to use them as part of a set up with some in wall speakers and a good in wall subwoofer.
Price-wise, I don't think that you can get much better than these without increasing your budget substantially. I'd be surprised if you could find better speakers at a cheaper price than this.
They're really easy to install, and the manual is pretty clear if you're new to audio equipment.
As two way speaker systems go, they produce some good quality high and mid-range frequencies. Usually with speakers, this is the most common complaint in terms of sounds, as unlike a three way system, there's only one tweeter. If you don't understand the difference between a two-way and a three-way system, click here.
This might just be me being a bit picky, but I actually think that this set up is pretty ugly. I know, they're in wall ceiling speakers; you can't see the majority of them. But people will notice ceiling speakers pretty quickly if they walk into a room, as they're not something that's common in every household. Specifically, the grills on this set aren't particularly attractive, in my opinion.
Whilst the high frequencies are great, I don't think the woofer is as good as it should be. It can struggle with lower frequencies, which isn't something I'd expect of any of my speakers.
If you are on a tight budget, then you'll struggle to find a better option than the PDIC60T.
Why get one in ceiling speaker when you can get five, right? Whilst they might not be the very best quality, you could do a lot worse than this five-set from Acoustic Audio. These subtle speakers would be a good addition if you're trying not to overpower the room with sound and want a speaker that will go unnoticed.
A couple of things that I like about these speakers. Firstly, they use soft dome tweeters, which is something that I particularly like as opposed to titanium. Secondly, they don't cut too many corners, and use rubber surrounds when many cheaper speakers won't spend the same amount on production quality.
Although to be honest the quality is lacking a little bit; for example, they use polypropylene cones (which is technical term for plastic, in case you're wondering) which I don't particularly like, this does enable them to produce the speakers at an absurdly low price. As with anything, you kind of get what you pay for. So if you're after a cheap budget option, then these speakers would be a good option.
With this option, you're getting 5 in-ceiling speakers for what you might pay for just one elsewhere. So if you don't have a massive budget, or you want to set up your whole house with speakers, then you could go with these from Acoustic Audio.
They are relatively small and compact, which means that you can use them without worrying about whether they will destroy the ambience and color scheme of your home. They wuld actually be ideal for use in a small business like a coffee shop or restaurant, where a nice level of music is played and they can subtly fit into the interior design.
If you set these up with a good subwoofer, you'll get a pretty good quality of sound rippling throughout your household.
I do think that these speakers don't have the high quality sound of other speakers, though they are significantly lower in price. If you have the budget, you could consider going for something of a higher quality, but these will do fine if you don't want the very top end speakers.
They only go up to 25 watts per speaker, so if you like pumping music throughout your entire house, then you really will need to look at a more powerful option.
Are they good for a basic television system that you'll watch on medium volume? Yes, they're great. Are they good for fast paced action movies and music with heavy bass? Most certainly not.
Whilst I don't advise scrimping on speakers, this five-set is good for anyone looking to pick up a cheaper option.
A common question that I'm asked by my friends and family in regards to ceiling speakers; is it really necessary? Well, it's actually a much debated thing in the audio industry whether it's even worth putting ceiling speakers in. Many audiophiles will argue with you that ceiling speakers are just a waste of time. I however, tend to disagree with them; ceiling speakers can make up an integral part of a great sound unit.
Whilst I wouldn't get just in ceiling speakers on their own, if you match them up with some top quality in wall speakers and a good subwoofer, you'll be well on your way to having a comprehensive sound experience.
Although most speakers are two way speakers nowadays, I had to pick a decent three way speaker for those who love their mid-range frequencies to be on point. You won't find any better than the Yamaha NS-IW280CWH.
If you are wondering what the difference is between a two way and a three way system, essentially it is just that the three way system had an additional tweeter to deal with the mid-range frequencies. I go into a bit more detail here.
With a solid tweeter that is easy to swivel, you won't have any difficulty directing the speaker if you aren't happy with the dispersion area that you're currently filling. What separates this speaker from the others? Well, it uses SoundMax technology. SoundMax is a Taiwanese company who have specialized in audio and computing for many years, and in fact you've probably used some of their technology unknowingly already. They produce high quality goods and they have a really great track record, so you won't need to worry about your speakers breaking.
They're actually available in both a 100 watt and 120 watt variation. Although we'd advise you to get the 120 watt if you like loud music, they are significantly more expensive so bear that in mind.
They have swivel tweeters, which means that they're able to disperse sound around your house easily and volume will carry itself.
They are available at a pretty reasonable price. Don't forget that these speakers come in pairs, not individually. You'll probably be best off ordering 4 or 6 of these ceiling speakers for the best effect.
They pair up beautifully with a good subwoofer.
They aren't as good with low frequencies as some of the other in ceiling speakers that I've listed here. In general, ceiling speakers aren't designed to deal with deeper sounds and are better at carrying the sound through a room. Though in an ideal world, they would do both.
Klipsch are another of my favorite companies around, though their products do tend to run at a slightly higher price than what I'd like to invest. If you have the extra cash to invest in better quality, then I'd advise you have a look at the R-1650-C as an option for your in ceiling speakers.
They're really easy to install, although you might have a few issues getting the screws in properly as this isn't particularly easy. There's only five screws, but they are very difficult to get in properly, so be prepared for a bit of a struggle!
There's great debate about what the best materials you can use to make your speaker are. Often, a lot of the cheaper brands with use plastic as opposed to metal and a variety of other materials. Although these speakers are made from polymer, they aren't lacking in quality and they're actually pretty well-made. It's all about the manufacturing in my opinion, less so of the materials.
If you're wondering, the mesh cover is also paintable, though I personally don't like doing that and prefer to leave all of my speakers as they naturally appear.
The grills for the R-1650-C are undoubtedly the best you'll find. I've found more often that not, companies put a lot of effort into the design and audio of the speaker, only to use cheap material grills which ruin the speakers whole aesthetic. This isn't true for the R-1650-C, which has nice looking and durable aluminium grills that you won't need to worry about bending out of shape.
They're moisture resistant, which means you can use them anywhere throughout your house. Ever wondered about having a full blown karaoke set-up in your bathroom? Well, you can install these speakers in your bathroom pretty easily and don't need to worry about the moisture destroying them.
Directional tweeters are handy for those who want to aim their sound in a specific way.
I mean, this setup is kind of expensive seeing as you'll more than likely need to get at least 4 of these. You could get two for just your bedroom, but four would be more advisable and six would be ideal. Klipsch is known for being the higher-end quality of these types of cheaper audio products, so don't expect to be finding any bargains.
Honestly, there's not much else that I can find wrong with these speakers; if you have the budget, I'd advise you to go ahead and test these out, you won't be disappointed.
High performance speakers at a reasonable price.
The M-8C makes up a full sound system from Micca, along with the M8-S which is a great choice as a center channel speaker.
Whilst Micca isn't usually my first choice when installing speakers in my own house, I certainly wouldn't be averse to using their speakers in any setup. They produce some great quality products, and the M-8C is a good example of that. I would say that they're the direct competitors to the RC80i's and are extremely similar, and there isn't much between the two.
Like usual, I like the 1 inch soft dome tweeter that you'll get in these M-8C's. They just produce some pretty awesome sounds, and if there's one thing that gets on my nerves, it's distortion; you won't get any of that with these. Although it's common for ceiling speakers to struggle with bass, that isn't a concern with the M-8C's due to a 8 inch poly woofer that's built for high excursion.
One thing that tends to confuse people in a technical sense is the term crossover. For example, the M-8C's are advertised as having a 6 decibel crossover network, but if you're not familiar with these terms, it can be kind of confusing to understand what's meant by this. If you want to understand more about crossovers, click here.
I do like the design of the M-8C's, especially if you are looking to match them with other Micca products and complete a whole room with them. You won't find many better products within this price range, I assure you.
The M-8C's are really stylish in comparison to some of the other in ceiling speakers. There isn't a great deal you can do with the grills of a speaker, but they do look very good.
From a price perspective, they are available at a really good price. They're always in comparison with the Polk Audio speakers, of which they're a tad bit cheaper at the time of writing.
Although I prefer hard dome tweeters, the silk dome tweeter that the M-8C's uses produce a really great quality sound.
The sound quality that these produce could be better, especially at higher frequencies. In ceiling speakers aren't designed to deal with lower frequencies, but these do a pretty good job at that. It's the mid-range frequencies where they tend to struggle, which is unusual for smaller speakers like these.
Due to their relatively low power, you'll want at least 4 or 6 of these speakers to get full effect. This can out the price up a little bit, which isn't ideal.
Set a few of these up with the M-8S and a good subwoofer and you'll have a complete sound system that you'll be proud to show your friends.
Remove the grill and the cover off the front of the speaker. To do this, there should be a small tool included to help hook the front grill of your speaker off. If not, use a knife or screwdriver and edge it around the surface, in the same way you would open a tin of paint.
Place your template on the ceiling, and carefully draw the template onto the ceiling.
Use the box cutter, or a regular blade, to etch around the edges of the circular template. Doing this will make it much easier when using your keyhole saw to cut out the drywall.
Get your keyhole saw, and slowly cut around the template. This will cause a significant amount of mess, so you might want to wear some goggles and lay some sheets down if you don't want to destroy your carpet.
Check if your speaker fits comfortably in the hole cut. Hopefully, it should fit perfectly into the hole that you have cut for your speaker.
Wiring is probably the hardest part of this whole process; you need to make sure that you put your positive and your negative in the right places. If your speaker fits, slowly connect the wires to the speaker.
Insert the speaker, and use the four screws that are situated in the speaker into the wall. Before I place the speaker in, I'd advise that you clean up any dust situated in the wall and line the edge of the whole with masking tape. This way, you minimize the chance of any vibrations forcing any dust into the speaker.
That should be about it! Before you replace the cover and grill, you can aim the tweeter in any way that you would like.
It's not always easy to understand some of the more complex terms that are used within the audio industry if you're not an audiophile yourself. I'd advise you to check out the website a bit more, as I do try and answer a few questions on every post. Here are five of the most common questions I get asked when regarding in ceiling speakers.
Usually, all surround speakers like in wall and in ceiling speakers are the same. There may be the odd occasion where some speakers are specifically designed to work better in your ceiling, but the majority of the time both types of speakers are interchangeable.
In a two-way system, you would have a tweeter and a woofer. The woofer deals with anything low frequency, usually below 2000Hz (a subwoofer would deal with anything below 200Hz, if you're wondering). The tweeter deals with anything above this, or any high frequency sounds. For example, the flute would be played through the tweeter, whereas a tuba would be played through a woofer. Simple, right? But what about anything in-between? Well, this is what a three-way system was designed for. It introduces a mid-range driver, that is designed to deal with anything between the high and low frequencies.
No, more than likely not. Just because it's a three-way system, it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to get a better sound. In fact in my experience, at lower budgets I get just as good, if not better sound quality out of my two-way systems.
Usually, this question is asked about directional speakers, sometimes referred to as angled speakers. It essentially refers to the tweeter, which can be directed or angle in a certain way to aim the flow of sound coming out of the speaker in a different way. This is what is meant by a 15 degree swivel tweeter; the tweeter can be directed in a specific way to flow sound in that direction.
Although there's no hard and fast rule to this, you'll usually need at last a pair of in ceiling speakers in your home. It does depend on what other speakers you have; for example, if you have a good subwoofer and a pair of in wall speakers, you might only need two in ceiling speakers to complete your setup. However if you have less speakers, or if you're doing this for a particularly large room, then you will probably need 4 or 6 speakers.
All in all, these are just a few of my favorite ceiling speakers that you'll want to think about if you're looking for high quality performance in your house.


Heart with flowers and coin edge. This piece has a long chain so it can be worn close to your heart. There is a space in the middle for option of engraving and a plaque on the back featuring the hallmark.
This is one of my favourite pieces, I have my sons name and date of birth engraved onto mine, its extra special because the hallmark on the back is dated for his first birthday year 2017. I have made it in such a way that should there be any more bambinos come along I can add charms with more inscriptions. Hallmarking cannot be dated retrospectivly.

Q: How to get rid from the same id in while loop when submitting form using ajax I am submitting form using ajax in the while loop but because of loop the same form id is using many times , so as a result the form is submitting only once . I think i have to make unique id every time in the loop for the form but don't know how.
Here is my code so far,
<?php
$get_cmt ="SELECT * FROM comments WHERE post_id = $post_id ORDER BY id DESC";
$query_cmt = mysqli_query($db_conx,$get_cmt);
while($row_cmt=mysqli_fetch_array($query_cmt,MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
$comtr_id = $row_cmt['comtr_id'];
$comment_id = $row_cmt['id'];
?>
            <form id="subcmt_smt" method="post">
            <textarea name="subcmt"></textarea>
            <input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $comment_id;?>" name="comment_id">
            <input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $pager_id;?>" name="comtr_id">
            </form>
<?php } ?>
<script src="jQuery v2.1.1"></script>
<script>
$("#subcmt_smt").submit(function(e) {
            var form = $(this);
            var url = form.attr('action');
            e.preventDefault();
             $.ajax({
             type: "POST",
             url: "submit_subcmt.php",
             data: form.serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
             success: function(data)
            {
             alert(data); // show response from the php script.
            }
        });
      });
 </script>

submit_subcmt.php
<?php
$comtr_id =$_POST['comtr_id'];
$comment_id =$_POST['comment_id'];
echo $comtr_id;
echo $comment_id;
?>

A: To illustrate the comment I made above you could try something similar to this perhaps.
<?php

    $get_cmt ="SELECT * FROM comments WHERE post_id = $post_id ORDER BY id DESC";
    $query_cmt = mysqli_query($db_conx,$get_cmt);

    while( $row_cmt=mysqli_fetch_array($query_cmt,MYSQLI_ASSOC) ){
        $comtr_id = $row_cmt['comtr_id'];
        $comment_id = $row_cmt['id'];

?>              <!-- use a class attribute here -->
                <form class="subcmt_smt" method="post">
                    <textarea name="subcmt"></textarea>
                    <input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $comment_id;?>" name="comment_id">
                    <input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $pager_id;?>" name="comtr_id">
                </form>
<?php
    }//end loop
?>

<script src="jQuery v2.1.1"></script>
<script>
    /* and assign event handlers to form objects with this class as per above */
    $("form.subcmt_smt").submit(function(e) {
        var form = $(this);
        var url = form.attr('action');
        e.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "submit_subcmt.php",
            data: form.serialize(),
            success: function(data) {
                alert(data);
            }
        });
    });
</script>

A: Try this.
 <?php
   $get_cmt ="SELECT * FROM comments WHERE post_id = $post_id ORDER BY id DESC";
   $query_cmt = mysqli_query($db_conx,$get_cmt);
   while($row_cmt=mysqli_fetch_array($query_cmt,MYSQLI_ASSOC)){
   $comtr_id = $row_cmt['comtr_id'];
   $comment_id = $row_cmt['id'];
 ?>
        <form class="subcmt_smt" method="post">
        <textarea name="subcmt"></textarea>
        <input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $comment_id;?>" name="comment_id">
        <input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $pager_id;?>" name="comtr_id">
        </form>
   <?php } ?>
   <script src="jQuery v2.1.1"></script>
    <script>
   $(".subcmt_smt").submit(function(e) {
        var form = $(this);
        var url = form.attr('action');
        e.preventDefault();
         $.ajax({
         type: "POST",
         url: "submit_subcmt.php",
         data: form.serialize(), // serializes the form's elements.
         success: function(data)
        {
         alert(data); // show response from the php script.
        }
    });
   });

Sorry fellas. Been distracted with life of late.
I don't want to p-off the latest-thinking P-Ltd motor evolutionaries BUT I agree with your Club sticking with 58mm motors that commonly come with RtR offerings.
Last edited by properchopper; 03-24-2019 at 02:49 PM.
We had a very un-heated (at all, zero tantrums of any kind, from anybody, I swear) discussion about this. We've tried a bunch of different motors. Even some custom fabricated stuff. Those didn't put you on the podium. The consensus was that there aren't any 60mm motors that were real contenders.
The point I kept missing when discussing a 60mm limit previously was that there "could" be in the future. When we were at 60mm we all conceded that 62mm was a different animal. Despite nobody racing them we all accepted that 2 measly mm from 60 up to 62 was going to be next level. Why couldn't 2 measly mm from 58 up to 60 be significantly better? The answer is that obviously it "could" be. Just hasn't been made yet. Take the tech inside a Proboat 1500 or 2k and push it out to 60mm. Same animal? Probably not.
The vast majority of successful boats that we've seen had motors well under 60mm. 58mm gave us a little fudge factor. It would give us (MMEU) a cushion for manufacturing hiccups but was close to what was being actually raced successfully at national level events and at the club level. Is 58 right? Who knows? We're still learning. Same was true when the original NAMBA limited rule set was adopted. Educated guesswork. I do know that our guys aren't arguing about it at all so that's a good sign.
Frankly my first ranking in Ltd racing preference is the low cost availability of power plants & yup I, like many of us have a pile of previously OK motors.
Of course the "as manufactured" codicil hasn't been re-introduced so that leaves the door open for some "experimentation"
Me too. Burnt to a crisp.
I know you've heard this multiple times Tony. It's an old discussion but for our club members that weren't privy to the history........the trouble with "as manufactured" was teching it. Without completely disassembling and in some cases destroying the motor you couldn't know if it was right. So it wasn't done. Teching was basically look at the motor. Looks right. That's one of the myriad of problems we had with the original rule set. I'm not suggesting we had cheaters. I doubt we did. Just saying we wouldn't have known if we did. It allowed others to point fingers and make unfounded accusations.

ALBUM REVIEW: CocoRosie – Heartache City
CocoRosie's new album is a stripped back and stark affair with brilliant songwriting
By Lee Hammond on Tuesday, December 8th, 2015
Lost Girl Records
www.cocorosiemusic.com
The wonderfully eclectic CocoRosie's sixth album is packed with their trademark quirky sound.
There's a stripped back and stark feel to Heartache City that allows the sisters' brilliant songwriting to shine through. With their voices taking on otherworldly tones, especially in Bed Bugs, where there is also a rare glimpse of delicacy and sweetness. However, it is at a distinct contrast to the bleak Lost Girls, which epitomises the sisters' incredible storytelling; a truly grim tale of unsavoury characters, delivered with effortless conviction and heart.
The sombre tales are a staple of the album, which are emphasised by the beautiful yet raw arrangements. Despite the odd dose of sweetness, Heartache City is exceptionally dark, ethereal and filled with sadness.


• This Little Baby May Have Died But Why Should She be Incinerated for Heat?
A mom in New York City was willing to make the ultimate sacrifice – she was willing to sacrifice her own life for someone else.
I was in Charlotte, North Carolina last week and have amazing news from that city. But first, there is even better news. Already in this 40 Days for Life campaign, we've had reports of 321 babies that have been saved from abortion! Praise God for His mercy and love!
This Little Baby May Have Died But Why Should She be Incinerated for Heat?
The revelation that British hospitals have been burning thousands of aborted and miscarried babies as clinical waste and in some cases to heat the hospitals has caused official consternation, but it is hardly surprising.
The modern social justice movement can be described as a loose union of movements that oppose institutionalized injustice in various forms—racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and many more.
A baby in India was born with his heart outside of his chest and his parents are desperately trying to fundraise for enough money for a lifesaving medical procedure he desperately needs.
Their numbers aren't what they used to be. The downward trend of dwindling abortionists is a problem that's plagued the abortion industry for decades. Following Roe v. Wade, the number of abortionists in America rose, ultimately peaking at an all-time high of 2,908 in 1982.
Over the years, the United Nations has succumbed to the advances of population control and abortion advocates with an agenda to defy the fundamental right to life to the peoples of all nations.

It certainly looked like the woman had no interest in going inside. So they turned away and sat in the garden for a while. Carrie and Laura smiled at them, prayed quietly, and kept watch with the children.
After a time, they walked towards the door again. The man walked up the steps, but the woman stopped, threw her bags down and started crying. She kept looking at the vigil participants' faces … and the children. "We were just being there," Carrie said.
They approached the door one more time and the woman still refused to go in again. This time, they left and did not return. The volunteers prayed that this woman would continue to be brave and refuse to abort her child.
"It was profound to be there, keeping watch," Carrie said. "It is a very sad place to be in the world, but we were there — being light in a dark place.
Today's devotional is from Rev. Ben Sheldon, president emeritus of Presbyterians for Life.
We pray for the gift of openness to children.
God's intention is that we multiply and fill the earth. One of the most perni-cious lies that sociologists have foisted off on the public is that the earth is be-coming overpopulated.
What kind of a sadistic god would cre-ate the earth and human creatures on it, only to have them literally repro-duce themselves into oblivion?
The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our divine Creator, has commanded us to multiply and fill the earth and far from letting the popula-tion get out of control, He has, in fact given his human creatures a dominical role over all the lesser creatures.
The "birth control" movement, which had its beginnings with Margaret Sang-er in the early years of the last century, has led, in many parts of the world, to a birthrate that is drastically below the normal replacement rate.
God's Word assures us that children are a blessing, that they are a reward of faithfully trusting and serving God and that they are the crown of their parents' old age.
He help us to accept the gift of children and give him thanks for every baby who is born into the world.
Father of mercy and grace, we thank you for the gift of our children. Grant that every fiber of our being may re-joice when a new baby, our own or any else's, is born into the world. Help us to welcome them as we would welcome you, for whenever a new baby is conceived, another life to bear your image and another voice to praise and worship you, is beginning. In Christ's name we pray. Amen.
Go to Confession and decide for holiness.
Day 6 of our Novena to St. Isidore and St. Faustina for the grace to understand and love Confession!
Sorrow for sin has two aspects, two slants as it were, one backwards and one forward. Looking back, the penitent regrets and detests sin; looking forward, he determines to avoid it.
If we truly hate sin, we shall do all in our power to avoid it. If, however, we are unwilling to use the means, we deceive ourselves if we fancy that we will the end. Pilate wished to release Our Divine Savior; and he willed it, he could have released Him at once.
If we are determined to avoid our sins, we will obey the Lord and His Word. We will place His desire for us above our own desire, and try our best to obey Him. We may not succeed all the time but our attempt to obey Him will keep our heart connected to Him. Our confessions will do us good, not harm, if we are determined to obey. We also know that the enemy will try to dissuade us from confessing, and from a firm purpose of amendment, but if we resist him, he will flee. Our trusting and humble prayer and desire to do God's will will disarm him.
Dear Lord Jesus, we ask you to give us a true understanding of the necessity and grandeur of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Help us to recognize You in the confessional, waiting for us, waiting to forgive us and embrace us with Your love and mercy. We need forgiveness. Help us to find our way into Your arms.
St. Leopold Mandic, pray for us.
Father Slavko Barbaric, pray for us.

It's not a good sign for an abortion clinic's future when even the abortionist quits. Diane Derzis is infamous in the south as the owner of abortion clinics from Mississippi to Georgia–which keep having problems or being shut down. Now it looks like her Columbus Women's Health Organization in Georgia will be her next abortion facility destined to die a slow death.
Plan B: It's not just a contraceptive?
As the "Hobby Lobby case" (aka Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. v. Sebelius) is underway at the Supreme Court in our nation's capital, this may be a good time to review what all the fuss is about.

Real Madrid narrowly avoided setting a new club-record goal drought as they fell to their fourth defeat in five games with a 2-1 loss to Levante at the Bernabeu.
Head coach Julen Lopetegui went into the match with plenty of speculation over his position, and his team were 2-0 down within the first quarter-hour courtesy of Jose Luis Morales' strike and a penalty from Roger Marti.
Marcelo's strike with 20 minutes remaining kept Madrid's hopes of a recovery alive, and ended the club's run without a goal in all competitions at 480 minutes. It had been reported that this surpassed a previous record barren run of 464 minutes, set in 1985. However, that run of 23 years ago extended to 495 minutes, and remains the longest in Madrid's 116-year history.
Before Marcelo struck, Real's last goal in any competition had come in a 1-0 victory against Espanyol on Sept. 22, with them failing to score in their following games with Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, CSKA Moscow and Alaves.

The Unicorn club has a new member, and this time it hails from Europe.The Paris-based long-distance ride sharing company BlaBlaCar has raised $200 million in its latest Series D round, bringing its total funding to date to over $300 million. With a fresh $1.6 billion (1.4 billion euro) valuation, the nine-year-old startup has joined the ever-expanding list of billion-dollar startups and stands out as one of the most well-funded young tech companies in Europe.While often compared to Uber due of its ride-sharing concept and commission-based model, BlaBlaCar focuses on a different market. Trips on its platform average 220 miles in distance, and therefore the price per mile is about 20 to 30 times lower than a regular Uber ride, according to CEO Frédéric Mazzella. It competes more directly with regional bus lines and trains rather than taxis or other intra-city car-sharing services such as Uber, Lyft, and the like. One other key difference from Uber is that BlaBlaCar drivers don't make a profit beyond sharing the costs, which has enabled the company to expand without running into regulatory issues in most markets.

Health NHS and social care complaints Complaining about the NHS Who you can go to when you have a problem Reporting concerns to a regulatory body
Health and adult social care regulatory bodies - reporting professional misconduct or concerns about fitness to practise
NHS and adult social care is usually very good and most people don't have any problems. But occasionally things can go wrong. This page tells you about how to complain to the regulatory body of a health or care professional.
Complaining about professional misconduct or fitness to practise
It's usually best to raise general concerns or complaints about health and care professionals directly with them or their manager, or with the body that buys or commissions the service. However, you could raise your concerns to a regulatory body if:
their behaviour or level of competence is so serious that your safety is at risk, or
they are not fit to practise.
repeated poor performance, calling into question their professional competence
dishonesty about something which has gone wrong, or falsifying medical records
sexual relationships with patients
false claims to qualifications
breaking confidentiality.
All health and care professionals must be registered and regulated by their regulatory body. Each regulatory body has a code of conduct which sets out the standards which are expected of the professionals they register. If someone seriously breaks the code, their regulatory body could take action against them. Remember however that it's not the role of regulatory bodies to investigate complaints which don't call into question a health or care professional's fitness to practise, however serious the problem may be.
To make a complaint, write to the relevant organisation, giving as much information as you can about the issue that's concerning you. The organisation will let you know what their particular complaints procedure involves. Details of how to complain about misconduct are usually included on their website.
You can make a complaint to a regulatory body even if you've also made a complaint under the NHS or adult social care complaints procedure. However, if an investigation has already started under the complaints procedure, the regulatory body may decide to wait for the outcome of this procedure before deciding what, if anything, they should do.
Check whether there are time limits to raise concerns with a regulatory body. For example, the General Medical Council, which investigates complaints about doctors, says that they can't usually investigate concerns about something that took place more than 5 years ago unless it's an exceptional case and it would be in the public interest to investigate it. If your concern is over 5 years old, they will ask you to:
tell them why you didn't raise it with them before, and
explain why it's in the public interest to investigate the matter now.
What they can do
The regulatory body can:
issue written advice, warnings, or reprimands
set out conditions, for example, limit the kind of work that the professional can do, or require them to do further training
in serious cases, strike the health or care professional off the register so that they can no longer practise.
What they can't do
Professional bodies can't usually:
give you a detailed explanation of what happened to you - this can only come from the individual or organisation concerned
order a doctor to provide the treatment you want
give you compensation or help you with a claim for compensation
fine the professional
make a professional apologise to you.
Contacting a regulatory body
For the contact details of health professional bodies, see leaflet 'Who regulates health and social care professionals? [ 0.79 mb]
There are organisations that can help you with a complaint to a regulatory body, for example, local Healthwatch or the charity Action against Medical Accidents (AvMA) which provides free specialist medico-legal advice including advice on making referrals to professional regulators.

In the Move
No, not "on the move" (although I definitely was); I spent from 2012 to 2014 moving -- out of my old home, into temporary quarters while I decided where to move next, to Durham, NC (where I had lived in the 1990s), and through a few duds here. And in all the moving, my web page didn't get the attention it deserved. So I'm making amends here by highlighting some of my clients whose success stories got less attention than they should have during the transition.
Sal Subasinghe attended UW's Law Fair here in Seattle. He learned that his engineering degrees and experience would offset a low LSAT score. His CLEO acceptance and his attendance at my to my Intro to Law School program offered hope of moving up a bit, and that work paid off.
Sal managed to turn his stellar performance at CLEO and his engineering background into a seat at Houston. This was definitely a dream school for him.
2012: Sal has achieved the unheard-of — straight A's, all "Best Paper." UH Law is inventing an award to give him!
2018 Update: Sal is working for King & Spalding, a major biglaw firm, specializing in securities fraud claims and stockholder class actions.
Karl Neumann is a champion student for adventurousness. He spent three weeks touring the east coast to decide whether he wanted to spend three years there. He missed his plane accidentally-on-purpose, because he just couldn't see enough of Boston, New York, Philly and DC. Ka Sandra Rogiér's mother offered her hospitality to Karl in DC, and likes him so much she calls him "my other son." A special thank you to KaSandra for helping arrange a place for Karl to stay, to Mom for being so open-hearted, and to Karl, for being the kind of guy whom people like to help.
Karl turned his CLEO performance into a seat at Illinois! It doesn't offer the excitement of the east coast, but it's too good a school to pass up.
2012 update: Another wow — Dean's List! And apparently there were a lot more Dean's Lists, because Karl graduated magna cum laude, and is working for Cozen and O'Connor, specializing in Aviation cases -- a good thing to be doing in Boeing territory.
Elizabeth Jones got a quick admission to Cleveland Marshall to take some of the stress off, then a seat at Pacific-McGeorge in May. And in August, she got into Connecticut, winning the annual last-minute pool. She was already driving the U-Haul when the call came. I still remember the comedy. I got a phone call from then-Dean-of-Admissions Karen DeMeola, asking if my client still wanted the seat. And I knew that she had planned to start the drive from Southern California that day.
I called her and asked, "So, have you started driving?"
"Yes, but only about a half hour ago; we got a late start."
"Oh, good. Instead of heading for Sacramento, would you like to drive to Hartford, CT?"
Dad was driving the other car, a coffee stop was made, and the GPS was set for a much longer ride.
Elizabeth's now providing representation in employment law at Casper & DeToledo.
Dean Fleyzor
Dean attended the DC Forum with us. I have two clear memories of the day before the Forum in 2010. One is of his walking Embassy Row with me and Erika and astonishing both of us with his knowledge of every flag and an anecdote about the country's history, politics, or scandals. The other is the look on his and Erika's faces as I whizzed backwards on my wheelchair-walker through the sculpture at the Corcoran Gallery.
He got accepted at New York Law School, Widener and a few others, but the winner was Baltimore — I think the choice was based on "least likely to snow."
2013 Update: Dean just wrote me,
"Baltimore turned out to be a great decision for me. I love the school and the city. Last summer I interned for a bankruptcy law firm and decided I found certain civil law subjects too boring for me. This summer I will be interning for the Honorable Lynn K. Stewart, who will be on a felony docket in the Circuit Court of Baltimore City. UB's clinical program accepted me to work under Rule 16 as a practicing student attorney. Through this program, I will work under an Assistant State's Attorney and prosecute my own cases for a semester. A long way from the Dean you met long ago, I'm sure!
And since then, Dean's come even further; he's now working for the Pro Bono Resource Center of Maryland.

Journalists and academics bear the brunt of the massive crackdown on freedom of expression in Turkey. Scores of them are currently subject to criminal investigations or behind bars. This website is dedicated to tracking the legal process against them.
Information on this website is compiled by Punto24 (Platform for Independent Journalism) from open sources.
Deniz Yücel
Deniz Yücel, German Die Welt newspaper's correspondent in Turkey, was arrested in February 2017 in connection with a probe into the leaked e-mails of Minister Berat Albayrak, who is also President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's son-in-law.
On 27 February 2017, 13 days after his arrest, the Istanbul 9th Criminal Judgeship of Peace ruled to jail Yücel pending trial on charges of "terrorism propaganda" and "inciting animosity and hatred" in his newspaper articles.
Yücel's detention sparked diplomatic tension with Germany. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has repeatedly said that Yücel was a German spy and a terrorist and that he will not be extradited to Germany.
Yücel's lawyers have filed applications on his behalf with both the Turkish Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights.
In early July, news reports said that an indictment into six journalists who were first arrested in December 2016 in connection with the leaked e-mails of Berat Albayrak was completed and submitted to a court. The indictment did not list Yücel among the defendants and stated that Yücel's case was separated from the case file, notwithstanding initial reports that he was sought for arrest as part of the same investigation.
On 5 July 2017, the European Court of Human Rights notified Yücel's lawyers that his application has been communicated to the Turkish government and that it gave the government until 24 October 2017 to present its defense. It also announced that the German government has been invited to state its opinion on the application of Yücel, a national of both Turkey and Germany.
On 16 February 2018, Yücel was released from pre-trial detention, after a court accepted an indictment into Yücel, formally opening trial proceedings, and ruled to release him pending trial. Yücel is charged with "terrorism propaganda" and "inciting the public to hatred and animosity" in the indictment.
Hours after he was released from Silivri Prison, Yücel left Turkey for Germany on a private plane.
The first hearing of Yücel's trial was held in his absence on 28 June 2018 at the 32nd High Criminal Court of Istanbul. Yücel's lawyer requested his immediate acquittal saying he was on trial for his journalistic activities. The court rejected the request for Yücel's acquittal, although it agreed that Yücel can give his defense statement abroad. The next hearing in the case will be held on 20 December 2018.
The second hearing in Yücel's trial was held on 20 December 2018 at the 32nd High Criminal Court of Istanbul. Yücel, who returned to Germany after being released from detention in February, was not in attendance. In its interim ruling at the end of the hearing, the court ruled to wait for Yücel's defense statement to be taken in Germany and adjourned the trial until 11 April 2019.
The third hearing in Yücel's trial in absentia took place on 11 April 2019. P24 monitored the hearing. Lawyer Veysel Ok told the court that Yücel was to make his defense statement on 10 May in Berlin and requested for the trial to be adjourned until after Yücel's statement is taken. Accepting this request, the court adjourned Yücel's trial until 16 July.
The fourth hearing in Yücel's trial took place on 16 July 2019 at the 32nd High Criminal Court of Istanbul. The presiding judge announced that the court had just received the Constitutional Court's ruling concerning the individual application of Yücel, in which the top court ruled in favor of Yücel. Yücel's lawyer asked the trial court to render its verdict in line with the Constitutional Court ruling and without waiting for Yücel's defense statement, taken in May in Berlin, to be sent to the trial court. In its interim ruling, the court decided to wait until they receive Yücel's statement and adjourned the trial until 17 October 2019.
The fifth hearing of Yücel's trial in absentia took place on 17 October 2019. Yücel was represented in court by his lawyer Veysel Ok. The presiding judge informed those in attendance that the court received Yücel's defense statement in between courtroom hearings. The prosecution then asked the court to hand over the case file for the preparation of their final opinion. In its interim ruling, the court ruled to hand over the case file to the prosecution and adjourned the trial until 13 February 2020.
Constitutional Court application
On 28 June 2019, the Constitutional Court issued its judgment concerning the application on behalf of Deniz Yücel, who remained in pre-trial detention in Turkey for a year before being released by the trial court's decision in February 2018.
In its judgment, dated 28 May 2019, the top court's Second Section ruled that Yücel's pre-trial detention violated his rights to personal liberty and security, enshrined in Article 19 of the Constitution, and the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of the press, enshrined in Articles 26 and 28.
Compensation case
Following his release, Yücel filed a compensation case against the Turkish government, seeking TL 2,980,000 in damages for his unlawful arrest and detention in 2017.
The 17th High Criminal Court of Istanbul rejected the case on 25 September 2018. Yücel's lawyer appealed the ruling with the 19th Criminal Chamber of the Istanbul Regional Court of Justice, an appellate court, which ruled on 8 May 2019 that the damages Yücel suffered due to his arrest and pre-trial detention be determined. The appellate court ruled to send the case file back to the trial court for a retrial.
The retrial took place on 12 September 2019. Yücel, who lives in Germany, did not attend. He was represented by his lawyer, Veysel Ok. At the end of the hearing, the court rejected the case once again.

We all know energy efficiency is key to a better and brighter future. Learning more about how to reduce your energy usage gives you the power to conserve for our community, and save money on your utility bills.
The average house uses energy for the following tasks-with percent of annual energy use.
Save 3-5% of your heating and air conditioning costs for each degree you set your thermostat – below in winter and above in summer – your normal setting.
Heat and cool your home as needed by adjusting the thermostat accordingly when you are sleeping or when no one is home. Also, consider installing an ENERGY STAR® qualified programmable thermostat to make these adjustments easier.
Proper insulation helps keep your home warm during winter and cool during summer. Check the insulation levels in your attic, ceilings, exterior and basement walls, floors, and crawl spaces to see if it meets recommended levels.
You may be losing energy when heating and cooling your home through air leaks. Check for, then caulk and weather-strip, holes and cracks around your walls, ceilings, windows, doors, light and plumbing fixtures, switches, and electrical outlets that can leak air into or out of your home.
Make sure your appliances and heating and cooling systems are properly maintained; check owner's manuals for recommended maintenance.
Water heating is the third largest energy expense in your home, and typically accounts for about 12% of the energy consumed in your home. You should turn down the thermostat on your water heater to 120 degrees, or the warm setting, and insulate it and your pipes.
About 80-85% of the energy used for washing clothes is used to heat the water; reduce this by washing full loads only – and using cooler water with cold-water detergents. Lowering the temperature setting from hot to warm cuts a load's energy use in half.
Clean or replace air return filters two to three times during summer and winter. On your outside unit, keep fins and coils clear from debris; you can also save energy by planting trees or shrubs to shade your unit.
In the summer, close drapes, curtains and shades during the day to prevent warming sunlight from entering – particularly on the south and west sides. Do just the opposite during winter daytime, but close drapes, etc. to help block out cold air during winter evenings.
Increasing lighting efficiency is one of the fastest ways to decrease your electricity bills. Turn off lights in rooms not in use; check lighting needs and use patterns for ways to use controls such as occupancy sensors, dimmers, or timers; and, replace heat producing 75-watt incandescent bulbs with 20-watt compact fluorescent (CFL) bulbs, and receive the same amount of light for just a quarter of the energy – CFLs also last about ten-times longer.
Keep heating/cooling vents clean and unobstructed including arranging furniture for air to flow freely.
Keep fireplace dampers closed tightly when not in use.
Ceiling or portable fans typically make you feel 6 – 8 degrees cooler, which allows higher thermostat settings and more energy savings.
Do not place lamps, TV sets, clothes dryer or other heat producing articles or activities near your thermostat; it senses the heat and can cause your air conditioner to run longer and more often.

Imaging harmonisation project resumes after COVID-19 pause
After a pause due to COVID-19 regulations, the harmonisation study to calibrate DPUK's network of eight brain scanners has restarted.
One of the state-of-the-art PET-MR scanners in the DPUK network. (Image: University of Manchester)
The study involves scanning the brains of 45 volunteers on each of the PET-MR scanners and comparing the images to ensure each scanner is properly calibrated.
The sophisticated PET-MR scanners combine two types of brain imaging technique: positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI scans show a clear image of the brain, while PET scans reveal the biological workings of the brain. Combining the two enables the physiological responses from the PET scanner to be visualised over a sharp MRI image.
The DPUK Imaging Network features eight of these PET-MR scanners, situated in hospitals and universities across the UK. Once all eight scanners are synchronised, it will allow researchers to run nationwide studies because they can guarantee that brain scans on each machine will be directly comparable to all others in the network. This will enable research on a scale previously unseen in the field of dementia.
The harmonisation study is being spearheaded by a team at University of Manchester, led by Dr Julian Matthews and Professor Karl Herholz. Dr Matthews said: 'It is really great news that we have restarted scanning once more. The last year has been especially challenging, dealing both with the implications of COVID-19 as well as enforced changes relating to radiotracer supply. So it has been particularly pleasing to see how the network of eight scanning sites has pulled together to meet and overcome these challenges.'
The harmonisation study was launched in early 2020 and was well under way when it was temporarily halted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdown restrictions meant it was no longer possible for members of the public to visit the centres to have their brain scans.
Now, the study has been given the green light to invite volunteers back. Teams in Newcastle and Edinburgh have already resumed, with successful PET-MR scans of volunteers at the end of April.
Project manager Victoria Rhodes-Bradford said: 'This study has demonstrated the value of a UK-wide PET-MR imaging network, with all sites working closely together, sharing their knowledge and expertise to help achieve the study's aims.' Professor Herholz added: 'We hope that the close collaboration between all eight centres formed by this effort will build a strong base for future use of the DPUK Imaging Network in clinical research into dementia and other diseases.'
The aim of the DPUK Imaging Network is to provide researchers with the tools to detect dementia in its earliest stages before symptoms appear. This is because this window of time – known as pre-clinical dementia – is when treatment can be most effective. Brain scans reveal the inner workings of the brain and will provide dementia researchers with crucial insights into the formation, progression and potential treatments of dementia.

Q: Google Sheets Script: Get Multi-Col/Row Named Range from Current Cell From other examples, I have a function that returns the name of a Named Range for the current cell - but only if the range consists of a single cell.
I started trying to parse the starting and ending Col and Row of the range, but ran into problems as soon as cols went to more than one character, eg "AA".
Then I thought that if I could get the cell's "R1C1" notation, I could use getCell() to test if it exists in the range. However, I can't find an equivalent function of getA1Notation() to get the R1C1 of the current cell. How is it obtained pls?
function c_GetCellNamedRange() {
  const ui = SpreadsheetApp.getUi();
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
  const cell = sheet.getCurrentCell().getA1Notation();
  ui.alert("Current Cell: " + cell);

  //get all the name ranges of the spreadsheetsheet
  var namedRanges = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getNamedRanges();
  // loop through all the names range of the sheet
  for(i=0;i<namedRanges.length;i++){

/*
    // this only works if range is a single cell! How to loop through?
    if(namedRanges[i].getRange().getA1Notation() == A1Notation) {
      rangeName = namedRanges[i].getName();
      break;
    }
*/
    // get the current cell R1C1 notation, then use getCell() to test if
    // it exists in the named range?
    //var rv = namedRanges[i].getCell(cell.getRow(), cell.getColumn())
    var rv = namedRanges[i].getCell(cell.getRowIndex(), cell.getColumn())
    if (!rv ) {
      rangeName = namedRanges[i].getName();
      break;
    }

  }

  if ( !rangeName ) rangeName = "none"
  ui.alert("Current Cell:   " + cell + " \r\n\r\n Named Range:   " + rangeName);
}

A: You can get the row index and the column index of a cell using getRow() and getColumn(). Then you can use that to write its R1C1 notation:
const r1c1Notation = `R${sheet.getCurrentCell().getRowIndex()}C${sheet.getCurrentCell().getColumn()}`;

A: If I understood you correctly you want to loop through each cell of a named range to compare the A1 notation of the cells with a variable

*

*To do so, you can use the method range.getCell() withinh a nested loop - since the range is a 2-D object.

*One of the ways to establish the height and width of the range is to use the methods getRow(), getLastRow(), getColumn() and getLastColumn().

Sample:
function myFunction() {
  const sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet();
  var namedRanges = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getNamedRanges();
  var A1Notation = "B5";
  for(var i = 0;i < namedRanges.length; i++){
    Logger.log(namedRanges[i].getRange().getA1Notation());
    var range = namedRanges[i].getRange();
    var rangeWidth = range.getWidth();
    var rangeHeight = range.getHeight();
    for (var j = 1; j <= rangeWidth; j++){
      for (var k = 1; k <= rangeHeight; k++){
        var A1 = range.getCell(j, k).getA1Notation();
        if (A1 == A1Notation){
          rangeName = namedRanges[i].getName();
          break;
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
