This would only limit the game. I understand what you're trying to achieve, but I highly believe this change would only be met with recentment.
To list a few problem:
Scenario 1: Someone with the worst stats picks Carry.
Problem: You are unable to pick carry yourself and must thus rely on him
Scenario 2: Two people picks Carry. He picks Clinkz and Bounty // He picks PA after they picked CK // He picks PL and the enemy picks ES.
Problem: Your carry fails to make good combinations or counters, or it's necessary for you to pick an extra carry
Scenario 3: You are unable to pick LC because you already have a carry, but the enemy team just picked Huskar.
Problem: Some carry heroes have more team roles than just being pure damage. Some support heroes have more team roles than just being pure support.
Scenario 4: You select initiate. The lane combination however requires you to pick an extra support.
Problem: You are now forced to follow a system rather than making a rational choice based on your own knowledge and experience.
my replay :
i just started the main Idea , and every new Idea have many problems that can improve
sc 1 : i think there should be some new report meta that at the end of game we can have a report role for every match
for example : every player have two button under hero icon in match detail
for carry : [Good carry ] [ bad carry ]
am played so bad in game and everybody in team click on [ bad carry ] after several reports his Carry score will decrese and he wont able to play carry for few days or just 24 hr or he only can play carry in Nomral match
same as all roles
roles should have score
sc 2 : i think that part of my idea was bad , wich that role sup cant pick carry
becuase we know all heros can play all roles
so this role score is key of this soultion
for example if a sup role wants to pick carry he need premison from mates
he request picking sven , then 2 player should accept then he can pick it .
guys this idea will change basicly the pick phase
i think this Role score will fix many issues
and Role score will be show in pick phase
Carry : 5.6/10 Sup :7.8/10 Mid : 2.4/10 .. . .
and this score is based on people [ good {role}] [ bad {role}]
this idea is Raw , we should cook it togheter
question : How will this save dota from dying? If anything it will just kill it. Queue times will be much longer, not to mention this will be highly exploitable.
replay : more Queue Time but better quality . and i mean u can check 3 boxes
like this :
■ Core ☐ support ■ Roaming ■ Mid ☐ Offlane ☐ Carry
and its will be fine
in best situation game will find in 3 min
but if its took too long
game will find with old factors
comment : Okay stop right here.
I think you are overthinking your idea right now. Of course every problem can be solved, but sometimes the best way to solve it is not to create it in the first place...
Because you are now creating an ever increasing complex system (which there was no actual demand for in the first place) that will create more question marks the further you go for each point you adress.
It's a downward spiral which will continously have more and more factors to consider, the player community, the game mechanics etc, until finally the eventual answer will be a No.
Thank you for your enthusiasm tho
replay : men
this is very bad for Dota 2
in pick phase u dont know what is ur mates role
even if we dont force anything
there should be an option that show ur Role just a simple GUI with no effect on picking
but with Role Score may many problems fix
we are not creating problems , there is problems already
1. games with no support
2. mid fights
3. two jungler
4. Random pick in last or 4nd pick
5.all carry games
6.stupid frist picks like picking carry frist or midder , or pick meepo frist
7. Ez feed with courior and no one cant stop him
8. everyone can ez Ruin whole game
and . . .
and if people determine ur Role , it would be great
no more fights for mid
coz x player have 9/10 Role score of mid and Y player have 4/10 role score of mid

A change in the membership of a key Maryland Senate committee could hand Gov. Martin O'Malley a long-sought victory on a measure to foster development of a wind power industry off Ocean City.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller has replaced Sen. C. Anthony Muse on the Finance Committee with Sen. Victor R. Ramirez, Miller's office confirmed Thursday. The switch, which replaces one Prince George's County Democrat with another, was first reported on the Washington Post's web site.
Muse was one of three Democrats who joined committee Republicans in firmly opposing O'Malley wind bill last year. Finance Committee Chairman Thomas M. "Mac" Middleton, a Charles County Democrat, said that with Ramirez on the panel, the chances that O'Malley will win approval of his top remaining environmental priority are much improved.
Miller said this week that he expects the wind legislation to be approved this year -- the third time O'Malley will have backed such a measure. But the Senate president's office said last night that the switch was not made solely for the purpose of advancing one bill.
Muse will replace Ramirez on the Judicial Proceedings Committee, which handles such highly contentious issues of crime and punishment as the death penalty. Both Ramirez and Muse are considered to be opponents of the death penalty repeal, so the change would not change the panel's current 6-5 lineup against repeal.
Muse would become the second African-American on Judicial Proceedings, along with Baltimore's Sen. Lisa Gladden, the vice chair. Miller said he has heard criticism that black senators were underrepresented in that panel.
The Senate president has said that if O'Malley can muster the support on the floor to pass a repeal bill, he will find a way to get the measure to an up-or-down vote.
Muse, elected in 2006, has more seniority than the freshman Ramirez, but the new Finance member is generally regarded as more of a team player. Last year, Muse ran a quixotic primary campaign against U.S. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin, losing badly after receiving little support from his Democratic colleagues.
A call to Muse was not immediately returned.
Senate Minority Leader E. J. Pipkin, an Eastern Shore Republican who sits on the Finance Committee, said his party would continue to fight the wind bill and wouldn't concede that it has the votes to pass.
Pipkin, who said wind power was too expensive and runs the risk of turbine damage in storms such as Sandy, called O'Malley's proposal "one of the dumbest" he's seen in the 10 years he's been in Annapolis.

Frank Paul Schubert / Rudi Fischerlehner – Willing Suspension Of Disbelief
After years of playing together in different duo and band situations and many hours spent discussing music and life, Frank Paul Schubert and Rudi Fischerlehner decided to record some free improvisations in their shared studio in Berlin.
"Willing Suspension of Disbelief" is the outcome of that effort. All the music on the album was recorded in one afternoon, and it´s also all the music recorded that afternoon, in the order it was played, unedited.

The Ethics was a philosophical work on ethics by Benedict de Spinoza, written in Latin and published in the Netherlands in 1677.
Gary Mitchell considered this reading to be "longhair stuff" when James Kirk tried to interest him in it at Starfleet Academy. Infused with psionic energy at the galactic barrier in 2265, a mutated Mitchell viewed the work on a library-computer screen in sickbay and found it "simple – childish almost."
Discussing Spinoza with Kirk, Mitchell had just been reading Part IV, the proof of Proposition XXXVII, which stated: "The good which every man, who follows after virtue, desires for himself he will also desire for other men, and so much the more, in proportion as he has a greater knowledge of God." (TOS: "Where No Man Has Gone Before")
In 2366, The Ethics was listed as the general knowledge file 3069 on the library computer of USS Enterprise-D. The android Lal studied the book as part of her instruction into the nature of humanity. (TNG: "The Offspring")
Appendices Edit
Background information Edit
The 21st century translation of the Latin title drops the word "The" from the title, naming it simply "Ethics". The original Latin title is "Ethica".
For remastered TOS, certain pages from Ethics were considered to be added into the episode. VFX Line Producer Michael Okuda said of the literary work, "We tracked it down, we got the text and we really wanted to put it into the screen [....] We wanted to splash it on, frame by frame, to show Gary reading it, but... just couldn't make it happen." (Starfleet Access for "Where No Man Has Gone Before", TOS Season 1 Blu-ray special features)

Item #3108
60 days. Green Beans (also called Snap Beans) have the best flavor when picked fresh from the garden. Royal Burgundy has delicious purple pods that are amazingly easy to grow and find among the backdrop of green foliage. It grows better than other bean types in cool weather, is very disease resistant and unlikely to be challenged by pests. Also a good container variety.
This packet sows two 6-foot rows.
Seedling Image
Days to Emerge:
Seed Depth:
Seed Spacing:
Row Spacing:
When to sow outside: RECOMMENDED. 1 to 2 weeks after average last frost, and when soil temperatures are 65°F or warmer. Successive Sowings: Every 7 to 14 days up to 60 days before first fall frost. NOTE: In very hot summer areas, sow as recommended above but skip the heat of summer as daytime temperatures consistently above 90°F will cause bean flowers to drop off (no bean formation).
When to start inside: Not recommended
Harvesting: Royal Burgundy beans are ready to pick when the pod "snaps" or breaks in half cleanly. This is when seeds have just begun to form and the pods are 5"-6" long. Hold stem with one hand and the pod with the other hand to avoid pulling off branches, which may continue to produce. At season's end, plants are great compost material if not diseased.

Data Sheets
Frequently Asked Questions
Before You Buy
Different optical cables are needed for different applications. Before you select a cable to interconnect fiber devices, make sure that the following things match:
Mode: Single Mode or Multi Mode.
Wavelength: For example, 850 nm, 1310 nm, or 1550 nm.
Note: The above properties cannot be converted or changed by a cable.
When you select a cable, make sure that the cable ends (for example, LC, SC, ST, or MT) match the fiber media devices.
Simplex and duplex ends are available for most connector types. Simplex cables have the connectors separate, where duplex cables have the transmit (TX) and receive (RX) connectors joined together.
It does not matter which diameter or OM classification the cable uses, as long as it meets the mode requirement.
When you use fiber devices and cables, make sure that the same fiber standards are being used on either end of the fiber network.
Prior to installing this device, ensure that your operating system is up to date (for example, you have installed the most recent service pack).

Experiencing sharp pain or pressure on one or both sides of your head?
Do you feel like your surroundings are moving or shifting around you?
Our proprietary T-Scan technology allows our doctors to precisely assess your mouth and jaw for dental imbalances during opening, closing, and chewing, right down to the amount and direction of the force exerted by each individual tooth.
Dental imbalances often cause chronic muscle tension and inflammation, which can in turn limit your head and jaw movement. Our doctors measure and monitor the movement range of your head and jaw to more accurately determine the most effective treatment plan for your symptoms.
Headaches can occur for many different reasons �� in order to find the source of your headaches and determine if the TruDenta treatment process will be effective for you, your TruDenta doctor will speak with you in detail about your past headaches and their specific symptoms.
Your TruDenta doctor will locate the latent trigger points in your face and neck that restrict motion and contribute to jaw imbalances �� these knots of tense muscle are often missed without a thorough examination.
Jaw or head trauma can cause a variety of hidden changes in the jaw, neck, and face that may later manifest as stiffness, pain, or headaches. By cataloging any possible sources of damage, your TruDenta doctor can more effectively focus your treatment plan.
Therapeutic ultrasound treatment returns circulation to chronically sore and strained muscles by providing gentle heat and increasing blood flow, while the targeted sound waves break up scar tissue and deep adhesions.
Manual trigger point therapy decreases and eliminates pain and tension in latent and active trigger points by breaking up muscle knots and increasing blood flow in order to decrease inflammation.
Our transcutaneous microcurrent stimulation therapy reduces muscle spasms and their accompanying pain through low-level electrical signals. It also decreases lactic acid build-up and encourages healthy nerve stimulation.
Our cold laser therapy decreases pain and inflammation and accelerates healing of muscle and joint tissue 25 to 35 percent faster than usual, while helping to rebuild natural nerve function.

Just a week after a huge Thanksgiving Day bust up between her former boyfriend Gabriel Aubry and her main squeeze Olivier Martinez, Halle Berry is trying to unload the very home where the fight went down. According to the Los Angeles Times, Berry is shopping around the Hollywood Hills West home for $15 million off of the MLS as a pocket listing.
Berry's house features five bedrooms, a swimming pool and spa, a 5,900-square-foot main house and a 1,400-square-foot guest house. The home also boasts a motor court, which is where the fight occurred that sent both Aubry and Martinez to the hospital.
The Times reports that the actress bought the house in 2005 from actor Frankie Muniz for almost $6 million.

It is sad to say that this is my final blog, as I have completed all of classes, turned in my Capstone paper, and will be graduating with my Master's in Counseling Psychology on June 5th! Tomorrow is my last day at internship, so I've been busy all week saying goodbye to my clients and co-workers. I co-lead a women's substance use group and they were so thoughtful in our group last night—everyone signed a card and the members brought me cupcakes and a plant (the plant is a pink polka dot plant and literally is pink…couldn't have asked for a more appropriate plant for myself)!
On my last day of class on Monday my seminar professor took us to get pizza, which was fun and great to sit and socialize with my classmates outside of the classroom! That night our program organized a catered dinner for everyone in the M.A. Counseling and M.A. Forensic programs. It felt so nice to see everyone in one room and to say goodbye to all of my wonderful professors! I was completely shocked when the director of my program announced that they were starting an annual award to honor a student that demonstrated leadership in the program and they chose me. Everyone applauded for me and I was given a beautiful plaque that I can hang up in my future office. It was such an honor and I felt appreciated for all of the hard work I put in to participating in volunteer opportunities at school and representing my classmates as their class representative. What a great way to end my experience at MSPP! Here are some pictures of the dinner:

This summary has been archived and will not be updated, because the summarised document is no longer in force or does not reflect the current situation.
Critical infrastructure protection
The European Commission proposes measures to strengthen the European Union's (EU) prevention, preparedness and response to terrorist attacks on critical infrastructure.
Communication from the Commission to the Council and the European Parliament of 20 October 2004 – Critical Infrastructure Protection in the fight against terrorism [COM(2004) 702 final – Not published in the Official Journal].
The European Council of June 2004 asked the Commission and the High Representative to prepare an overall strategy to strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure.
This communication gives an overview of the actions taken by the Commission to protect critical infrastructure and proposes additional measures to strengthen existing instruments.
The potential for catastrophic terrorist attacks that affect critical infrastructure is increasing. The consequences of an attack on the control systems of critical infrastructure could vary widely. It is commonly assumed that a successful cyber attack would cause few, if any, casualties but might result in the loss of vital infrastructure service. For example, a successful cyber attack on the public telephone switching network might deprive customers of telephone services while technicians reset and repair the switching network. An attack on the control systems of a chemical or liquid gas facility might lead to more widespread loss of life as well as significant physical damage.
The failure of part of the infrastructure (even in different European countries – see the example of electricity blackouts in Europe over the past two years) could lead to failures in other sectors, causing a cascade effect because of the synergistic effect of infrastructure industries on each other. A simple example might be an attack on electrical utilities where electricity distribution is disrupted; sewage treatment plants and waterworks could also fail as the turbines and other electrical apparatuses in those facilities might shut down.
Critical infrastructure can be owned or operated by both the public and the private sector but, in any case, the public sector has a fundamental role to play in making it secure.
Definition and criteria for identifying critical infrastructure
Critical infrastructures are those physical and information technology facilities, networks, services and assets which, if disrupted or destroyed, would have a serious impact on the health, safety, security or economic well-being of citizens or the effective functioning of governments in European Union (EU) countries.
Critical infrastructure includes:
The communication also suggests three criteria for identifying potential critical infrastructure: the extent of the geographical area that could be affected, magnitude and effects with respect to time.
EU countries must list the infrastructure critical to them, according to an EU harmonised formula and in conjunction with the organisations or persons in charge of security.
As regards security management, the first thing to note is that it is impossible to protect all infrastructures against the threat of terrorist attacks. However, by applying risk management techniques, attention can be focused on areas of greatest risk. Security management is a deliberate process of determining the risk and deciding upon and implementing actions to reduce risk to a defined and acceptable level, at an acceptable cost.
Progress so far in protecting critical infrastructure at European level
As a complement to the measures that have been taken at national level, the EU has already adopted a number of legislative measures setting minimum standards for infrastructure protection in the framework of its different policies. This is notably the case in the transport, communication, energy, occupational health and safety, and public health sectors.
A further step towards communication security is being made with the creation of the European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). In addition, in sectors like aviation and maritime security, inspection services have been created within the Commission to monitor the implementation of security legislation by EU countries.
European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection
The EU must focus on protecting infrastructure with a transnational dimension. A European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) will be set up with a view to identifying critical infrastructure, analysing vulnerability and interdependence, and coming forward with solutions to protect from, and prepare for, all hazards. The programme should include helping industrial sectors to determine the terrorist threat and potential consequences in their risk assessments. EU countries' law enforcement bodies and civil protection services should ensure that EPCIP forms an integral part of their planning and awareness-raising activities.
A Critical Infrastructure Warning Information Network (CIWIN) that brings together critical infrastructure protection specialists from EU countries should be set up as soon as possible. This infrastructure warning network should assist the Commission in drawing up the programme.
In conclusion, the goal of EPCIP and the duty of the Commission would be to ensure that there are adequate and uniform levels of protective security on critical infrastructure, minimal points of failure and tested rapid reaction arrangements throughout the EU.
Background and follow-up
On 17 and 18 June 2004, the European Council asked the Commission to prepare an overall strategy to enhance the protection of critical infrastructure. In response, the Commission published this communication on 22 October 2004.
The Commission's intention to propose a European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) and a Critical Infrastructure Warning Information Network (CIWIN) was accepted by the European Council of 16 and 17 December 2004, both in its conclusions on prevention, preparedness and response to terrorist attacks and in the Solidarity Programme, adopted by the Council on 2 December 2004.
Throughout 2005, intensive work was carried out on the EPCIP. On 17 November 2005, the Commission adopted a Green Paper on a European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection.
On 15 September 2005, a decision on the financing of a pilot project containing a set of preparatory actions with a view to strengthening the fight against terrorism was adopted.
Lastly, the Commission presented on 12 December 2006, a proposal for a directive on the identification and designation of European critical infrastructure and a common approach to assess the need to improve their protection. On the same day, it adopted a communication on a European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection. These documents give a clear idea of how the Commission proposes to address the issue of critical infrastructure protection in the EU.

Just because a law isn't being enforced doesn't mean it can't still bite you — in the wallet, anyway.
In the international driver's license furor now straining relations between the Sunshine State and the Great North, insurance appears to be the rub.
Though a chastened Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles said that it would not enforce a law approved by state legislators last year requiring that foreign drivers in Florida have an international driving permit, Canadian and American insurance experts continued to warn snowbird drivers without the permit that they are risking a big financial hit in case of an accident.
As a function of the way their country handles insurance, the vast majority of Canadians tooling around Florida this winter season have the same basic policy — Ontario Automobile Policy 1 or similarly named coverage, depending on the province where it was issued.
A clause in that policy could allow a carrier to balk on a claim from a driver who has no international permit: "The insured shall not drive or operate or permit any other person to drive or operate the automobile unless the insured or other person is authorized by law to drive or operate it."
The Insurance Bureau of Canada on Friday was strongly discouraging "any insurer from using the amended Florida Statute as a reason to deny coverage on the basis that the non-resident driver was not authorized to operate a motor vehicle in the State of Florida."
At the same time, though, the insurance group's spokesman, Pete Karageorgos, was appearing on a Toronto-area TV show to warn snowbirds to get the permits in order to play it safe on their trip south.
Reached minutes before that appearance on "Square Off," Karageorgos told the Herald-Tribune that Ontario 1 clearly states that drivers "have got to be authorized by law. So that is a statutory provision an insurer may use to deny a claim."
A similar warning came from the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.
"You must be authorized to drive in whatever location you are driving in," said commission spokeswoman Kristen Rose. "If you're not, claims may be denied."
All's well?
Meanwhile, those who want to make sure Canadians keep their trips on track are pointing to the Florida highway department's statement on Valentine's Day as a reason to consider all well.
"Whether you fly or drive to Florida, visitors can be assured that the Sunshine State is doing business as usual," it reads. The Florida Highway Patrol "will defer enforcement of a law that requires visitors from outside the United States to have an International Driving Permit to drive lawfully in Florida."
Pointing to the statement, Avis Budget Group spokesman John Barrows said the permit issue was moot.
"The state of Florida has reversed its position and so it's business as usual for Avis and Budget," Barrows said in an email. "International customers can continue to rent using their valid native country driver's license just as before."
But some American insurance experts weren't so sure.
"I wouldn't say it is a moot point," said Jessica Brady, spokeswoman for Tampa-based AAA Auto Club Group. "The temporary fix is Highway Safety saying they won't enforce it, but that does not mean the issue is resolved."
Confusion abounds
Canadians seeking to comply with the new law have been streaming into Canadian offices that provide the international driving permit.
The forms are available online and in all AAA offices in the United States, said Kristine Simpson, a spokeswoman for the automobile organization's Canadian counterpart, the CAA.
But the trick is that all the forms filled out by Canadians already residing or traveling in Florida must be mailed or sent by courier to the CAA to be processed.
That will take a week, possibly two.
"We are trying to do them as fast as we can," said Simpson, who recommended using a courier service to send the completed forms and the Canadian $25 application fee to the CAA.
Her advice is not likely to mollify many Canadians who were caught off guard this week by the rules, which quietly went into effect on Jan. 1.
In Venice, winter residents John and Terry Blahut of Mississaugua, Ontario, were shocked to read in the Herald-Tribune Friday of the insurance risk they have been running since January.
"We feel that because of the repercussions of this legislation, we are not valued," Terry Blahut said.
The couple bought a condominium in Venice in 2000 and have been regular winter visitors each year since.
"If I were a seasonal renter, I wouldn't come back to Florida," Terry Blahut said.
It was not just Canadians confused by the messages emanating from Florida and Canada regarding their retreat to southern warmth.
Olivia Allder renews her temporary six-month Florida driver's license every year when she returns to Sarasota from her home in the United Kingdom. With her U.K. license, she has never had issues driving around Sarasota County during her stay in Florida.
But the uproar over the international driver's permit left her stumped just weeks before she is scheduled to leave for Florida's Gulf Coast.
"Will the sheriff's office honor U.K. licenses in the same way as they have done the Canadian ones?" she asked.
She likely doesn't have to worry about being arrested, but she will have to be guided by her own insurance policy or the one she gets from her rental car company regarding her potential insurance risk.
No simple solutions
Local and state tourism are unhappy about this cloud of uncertainty just as they are trying to capitalize on the biggest boost for tourism-related businesses of the year, the so-called high season.
"The statute wasn't on our radar screen because the language suggested it had nothing to do with tourism," said Kathy Torian, a spokeswoman for Visit Florida, the state's tourism agency. "We can't really guess how many of our 14 million annual visitors this will affect if it will be enforced, but it's possible many of those visitors will decide to go somewhere else."
At least one Southwest Florida legislator said there is no question the requirements of the law will be deferred, but fixing the offending law is more complicated.
To revise the particular sentences addressing the international driving permit, legislators are likely to pass a "glitch bill" when they reconvene this spring, said state Sen. Nancy Detert, R-Venice, chairwoman of the senate's tourism and commerce committee.
But, based on legislative cycles, that still means no official fix until July.
"It is ridiculous," Detert said of the law. "I hope I didn't vote for it."
Canadians fear insurance implications of state's new driving rule
Just because a law isn't being enforced doesn't mean it can't still bite you — in the wallet, anyway.

CoaXPress is a new digital interface technology capable of sending power, General Purpose IO, commands and image data at (very) high speeds.
With CoaXPress, a camera can be connected to a system using just one standard coax cable. Contrary to most high performance interface solutions like Camera Link which use stiff cables up to 10 meters in length, CoaXPress supports lengths up to and over 50 meters with a very flexible coax cable.
In addition, data rates far beyond Camera Link (Full) can be handled. This makes CoaXPress very suited for Plug and Play interfacing in current and future applications.
CoaXPress was developed by Adimec and EqcoLogic. EqcoLogic's proprietary equalizer technology enables the use of standard coaxial cables also at ground breaking data rates.
"We are very proud to bring this enabling interface to the market. This cost effective scalable solution supports high data rate transmission over a simple coax cable. I'm sure that this will excite the industry and we expect that this interface will evolve into a standard", states Andries Hofman, CEO of Adimec.
Equipment Manufacturers are looking for components and solutions that will give a competitive edge to their business and facilitate the ever more demanding system requirements in today's markets.
Just Smit, President of Sales & Marketing at Adimec states, "CoaXPress will help equipment manufacturers to accomplish their goals in the future by offering reliable high data rate image transmission by a simple, long and flexible cable especially with pan-tilt and other moving camera heads.
Adimec introduces CoaXPress technology to the market via the OPAL camera family. The new cameras in the OPAL series are fully Camera Link compatible while eliminating the drawbacks of Camera Link cabling on length, flexibility and ease of integration by using CoaXPress technology as an internal interface.
With Adimec's OPAL cameras, you are now able to transfer image data, include power and apply general purpose IO and camera commands over one single standard RG59 coax cable up to 50 meters length. If needed, bridge even further distances without repeaters or hubs by using higher quality coax cables.
Simplify your connectivity infrastructure. Utilize our excellence in imaging in accuracy, throughput and connectivity with our OPAL Camera Link cameras with CoaXPress technology.

What Is a Hamiltonian Circuit?
A Hamiltonian Circuit is a cyclic Graph (or sub-graph) such that each vertex can only be accessed in a single path. They also contain all the vertices in the given graph. As such, all Graphs containing Hamiltonian Circuits have at least three vertices. Hamiltonian circuits are cyclic graphs with n vertices and edges. As such, each vertex in the circuit has a degree of two.
There are a number of different theorems that can be used to determine the Hamiltonicity of a graph. The two simplest theorems to look at are Dirac's Theorem and Ore's Theorem. Dirac's Theorem states that a simple graph has a Hamiltonian circuit if it has at least three vertices, all of which have a degree of at least number of vertices/2. Ore's Theorem states that for a simple graph with at least three vertices, the graph has a Hamiltonian circuit if each pair of vertices that are not adjacent have a combined degree greater than or equal to the number of vertices.
Finding Hamiltonian Circuits in Unweighted Graphs
Based on the above properties of Hamiltonian circuits, let's examine an algorithm to find these circuits in unweighted graphs. Kruskal's algorithm to find a minimum spanning tree is a good place to start because it deals with reassembling edges on a graph. Simply by applying Kruskal's algorithm with a couple checks, finding a Hamiltonian circuit in a graph becomes pretty simple. Simply reassemble the edges such that no Vertex has a degree of two, and that no circuit is created. Order the vertices based on degree, and deal with the vertices of degree two first using Kruskal's algorithm. This helps assure that at the end, no additional vertices will have a degree that isn't two. Next, deal with the vertices of degree greater than two. For each vertex, choose an edge that satisfies the above conditions. Repeat until any edge choice would violate the tree property.
Wait, the purpose of the algorithm is to find a Hamiltonian circuit though? By the time this portion of the algorithm finishes, the final result will be a singly-linked list with a head and tail node. Every other vertex will have a degree of two. Simply connect the head and tail nodes to complete the Hamiltonian circuit.
Travelling Salesman Problem
The goal in finding Hamiltonian circuits in weighted graphs is to find the circuit with the lowest total cost. This is also called the Travelling Salesman Problem, and it is considered an NP problem, meaning there is no known polynomial time solution. In this section, we will explore the Held-Karp algorithm, which is the best known solution, solving the Travelling Salesman Problem within 0.5% of the optimal solution. It has a runtime complexity of O(n2 * 2n).
The Held-Karp algorithm works by finding a Vertex such that the sum of the distances across its two lowest-cost Edges is less than that of any other Vertex. It then finds the minimum spanning tree along the remaining Vertices using Prim's algorithm, which is essentially the same as Dijkstra's algorithm except it doesn't violate the Tree property. The other constraint it places is that no Vertex can have a degree greater than two in the final Hamiltonian circuit.
My Held-Karp implementation uses my Graph implementation found here.

If you're stuck for lingonberry recipe ideas, then let me suggest you this creamy lingonberry cheesecake. A friend of mine came over for a coffee about a fortnight ago, bringing me a large tub of lingonberries she had picked herself. Although I've got some good stand-by lingonberry cake recipes (some of them here on the blog: lingonberry and chocolate cake, Swedish lingonberry cake), I wanted to try something new and different. Using my regular cheesecake filling, I came up with this lingonberry cheesecake recipe.
As all cheesecakes, this is best made a day before you want to serve it, so it is completely cool and set.
Lingonberry cheesecake
Serves 6 to 8
100 g butter, softened
85 g caster sugar (100 ml)
1 large egg
175 g plain flour (300 ml)
0.5 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
450 g full-fat cream cheese (1 pound)
85 g caster sugar (100 ml)
2 large eggs
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
finely grated zest of half a lime
100 g lingonberries (about 1 cup)
First, prepare the pastry. Cream butter and sugar. Mix the dry ingredients, then mix into the butter mixture together with egg. Press the pastry onto the base and sides of a buttered 26 cm springform tin. Put into the fridge to rest for 30 minutes.
Prepare the filling: Mix all ingredients - if you wish, you can use an electric mixer for that (though stirring thoroughly with a wooden spoon does the job as well, as long as the cream cheese and eggs are at room temperature). Pour into the pastry base.
Scatter the lingonberries on top.
Bake in a pre-heated 180 C /350 F oven for 30-35 minutes, until the filling is almost set and the cake is light golden brown on top.
Let cool completely before trasnferring onto the serving plate.

Insane?!?! No, you can't be insane, because that is something I would totally decide to do, but maybe only a few weeks before I would want it to be finished (but I don't have kids to care for). Good luck to you as you complete it, you will get it done no problem! I can't wait to see what it looks like-I really love the colors you have chosen.

Congratulations on all fronts!

My 10 year anniversary is next month. Supposedly it is all downhill from there. Will see.
I have a quilt my mother made when she was pregnant with me and now that I quilt and have been pregnant I realize how crazy that was (it's NOT a small quilt) BUT it makes me cherish it even more. Does that count as the first quilt I ever made???

I was just thinking about your wedding yesterday! I was thinking of how impressed I was at the incredible decor and ideas you put together, and that even back then, ten years ago (WHATT?!?! Yeesh.), you stood out among anyone else I knew for your vision and talent. It was like a Martha event, but better. I've always admired you for that, but I don't think I ever said so. And for your amazing rack in your wedding dress, but I think I probably mentioned that already.
And now I have so much more to admire you for, too.
- February 10, 2012 at 1:35 PM
Congrats on the anniversary! I would LOVE to have your scraps but I'll settle for the name of the print on the bottom of the pile.

good gravy, woman, you ARE crazy! but if anyone can do it, it would be you. those colors are crazy good!
what kind of design are you planning? i'm anxious to hear more!

Okay. Holy flipping cow. You are very very pregnant. How could I have missed that. Apparently I never check in on anyone's blogs anymore. And you're making a quilt for your man?! You're making me tired girl. I had to write you a note on this post cause I don't want to enter a fabric giveaway. The last thing I need is more fabric. I've been sewing but it's little bits and that feels good. Hope that you and yours are well. By my estimation you are gonna pop in another few weeks. Then you will be very very busy, indeed. Big hugs! I am so happy for you!

Hi all,
I am building a DAL for my mysql database intensive WPF project. The UpdateCommand for the table adapter i have set its text with parametes as input
UPDATE design_details
SET id = @id
Where (id=3)
when i execute this query in Query Builder the @id parameter is taken as null no matter i set its value in Query Builder Parameters GUI and so in database also its set as null.
But when i give direct value to id like
UPDATE design_details
SET id = 1
where (id=3)
database is updated as expected with id set to 1.
I tried various ways and could not find why this happens.
Plz someone help me with this.

Pixie Lott Reveals Justin Bieber Gushed About 'Beautiful' Selena Gomez
Justin Bieber may be Instagramming endless snaps with model after model, but that doesn't mean he'll ever forget the beauty of his first lady love, Selena Gomez.
British singer Pixie Lott recently revealed that she ran into the Biebs in Monaco earlier this year, and the two were both gushing about the 'Come & Get It' singer.
"When I was in the South of France I bumped into Justin Bieber and we were both talking about how elegant and beautiful [Selena] is," Lott reportedly told the Metro newspaper (quote via Contactmusic).
So… what does this mean in terms of a Jelena reunion? Bieber was in the South of France in May, just a few months after he and Gomez had a romantic getaway in Texas in March. And as of June 2014, the forever on-and-off again couple seemed to be back on, going on dates, attending parties and even Bible study together. Of course, Bieber has been Instagramming countless pictures with models recently, but even he is aware of what that looked like, captioning one shot, "Don't even start with the dating rumors."
Whether or not Jelena is back on for sure, Bieber always has swoon-worthy words to say about Gomez -- and Pixie Lott's revelation only further proves that.
Beliebers, Selenators and Jelena shippers, what do you think of Justin Bieber gushing about Selena Gomez?

EEK! Nice photos, that first guy looks upset though! haha
haha, I thought he was smiling!
Gorgeous shots! That one of the clear iridescent jellyfish is magical. It can be so hard to get shots that don't have reflections or people in the way, so congrats. 🙂
Thanks, that means a lot coming from you!
~good times!~
Amazing pictures! I love all the jellyfish pictures, especially the one in grey. And the one above it. And the orange fluffy one. And all the rest…
haha, thank you!
Wow, these are great photos! The guy in the top photo has a great face!
Thank you! He was quite photogenic.
OMG the jelly fish ones! These are all so gorgeous.
Jelly fish are a lot weirder than I thought. Thanks!
These are incredible photos! What kind of settings did you use?
Thanks, and it's hard to say as I adjusted them with each photo.
Thanks for posting the undersea creature photos. Love them.

Q: Why didnt anybody in the Press Conference ask robin questions about his managerial philosphy, is he a stat guy when looking at matchups etc…. Do we have any info besides what was asked in the PC?
A: The beat guys asked that in a separate interview session. He didn't commit to one exactly, but he said he had to see how the roster develops. Sounded like he has the traditional leadoff man, move runners over approach, but has no issues playing big ball if that's what the roster dictates.

It took a "ninja effort" to pull Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' wedding off.
The 38-year-old "Two and a Half Men" star stopped by "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Wednesday, where he recalled the various lengths he went to in an effort to keep his July 2015 nuptials as private as possible. "That was sneaky," host Ellen DeGeneres, 58, told her guest. "You got married, and every time you've been here or Mila's been here, you've been really cagey about the whole thing. And then you went and got married without any of us being invited!"
Kutcher explained that he and Kunis were concerned about helicopters trying to snap pictures of their intimate ceremony, which would've ruined the atmosphere. "It's a legitimate concern," he said. To throw paparazzi off their trail, he said, "I was, like, posting things on social media that were in different locations to avoid that, because we didn't want to be screaming our vows at each other and be like, 'Forever! 'Did you say never?' We didn't want to do that thing, so we went really under the radar with it."
U.S. & World
In addition to talking about his summer wedding, Ashton also gave an update on his 17-month-old daughter, Wyatt Kutcher. "She loves dancing. She's down with dancing. I mean, if I sing 'The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round,' she loses it. That's her thing. She just loves it when the wheels go round. We go to the playground and she gets on the little steering wheel on the playground thing, and the wheels go round. She gets excited," the actor said, adding that she has "mostly one move" down pat.

Ashton also shared a picture of Wyatt wth Ellen, which he'd previously posted on social media.
