Looking at Newspapers is a wonderful example of creative differentiated teaching across all levels (E1-L2). A detailed lesson description, resources and introductory PPT are included. The lesson uses Kipling's "What and Why and When, And How and Where and Who" to help students analyse newspaper reports and interview other students, or their teacher, to create their own reports.

Experience authentic Icelandic springtime. Take an active part in this magical season of rejuvenation with a local farmer. The Wilderness Center is an authentic and peaceful hideaway, located right by the edge of Northern Europe's biggest wilderness. English speaking guided tour for 4 days, departures in May.
Right from the pickup we do easy hike up by beautiful canyons to Hengifoss Waterfall, with its interesting and visual geology. After the hike we make a short stop to view the exhibition at Vatnajökull National Park, visitors centre. We arrive at the Wilderness Center to have lunch, check in and get familiar with our new home for the next days.
After lunch, we join the farmers at the sheep stable. It is lively there now since it is a lambing season.
Next, we get a guided tour through the adventure exhibition, getting a taste of the history and adventures of the highlands.
Dinner (local food) will be served in the cosy and authentic environment at the Wilderness Center. Spiced with local stories.
We start the day by getting spoiled with both Icelandic and International breakfast. Next, we go fishing for trout with local farmers, laying nets and enjoying the nature. At lunch traditional lunch pack is served on open fire.
We investigate Pink-footed geese nests by the river, collect eggs and learning about these interesting birds and how they are connected with the Highland life in the old days.
Now it is time to check the trout nets and handle the fish.
We arrive back at the Wilderness Center for dinner, and those who like can check on the newborn lambs in the stables.
After breakfast, we go scouting for wild reindeer and get to know these animals and their history. Don´t forget your cameras!
After lunch, we visit traditional Icelandic turf houses. Some of them are still used for sheep farming.
In the afternoon guests can choose to ride Icelandic horses or bike to the Cablebox. The Cablebox was used in the old days to cross the glacier river. It has been rebuild so those who dare can try out this special transport. At the same spot, we take a look at the abandoned farm that holds many interest and fun stories.
Now the group prepares with the local chief - dishes with Icelandic specialities. Follow by a food feast, local music and singing in the authentic common room area.
After delicious breakfast, we pack our things and take a tour to Húsey. A unique place by the ocean, with black beaches, seals with their young ones. The birdlife is vibrant around the farm, especially at this season.
After lunch, we visit Borgarfjörður Eystri, a home to puffins, elves and lonely mountains.
At 19:00 we have to be back at Egilsstaðir Airport to fly back to Reykjavik.

After releasing her exclusive line of lip glosses, liners, and matte sticks, Kylie Cosmetics has sky-rocketed Kylie Jenner even higher in the social world. Her first kit, which featured lipstick and liner, sold out in less than a minute after it hit her site leading it to actually crash due to the overload of customers late last year.
The youngest of the Kardashian/Jenner family previously told Teen Vogue that she would base the future of her line on what customers wanted. She lowkey hinted that she would be adding more products to her line such as an eyebrow, eyeshadow, or contour kit. Well she has been expanding her business over the past few months, now having well over 15 different lip colors, but Kylie has also been working on a surprise for all her fans and makeup lovers.
After Snapchatting that she would be revealing something in regards to her line on Sunday the secret is finally out!
"KYSHADOW Bronze Palette" read her story as of Monday morning. Yes, she has released a new eyeshadow - the palette consists of nine different colors.
If you follow Kylie on Snapchat then you've probably already seen it, but if not, she gave all of her viewers a sneak preview of the new colors in the Bronze Palette. The eyeshadow will be available Tuesday at 3pm pst, but if you really want one you better be staring at your computers and have your fingers warmed up well before that because these bad boys are almost guaranteed to sell out just as fast, if not faster, than her first Lip Kit.

To Do Lists and the Nathan Brown story continues
November 03, 2011
If only I knew then what I know now about using Legacy's To Do List.
In Marian Pierre-Louis' webinar yesterday, Brick Walls: Cracking the Case of Nathan Brown's Parents, she used a variety of indirect evidence to identify Nathan Brown's parents. Although, as she put it, "there was no smoking gun" to be completely certain, she put together a very strong case. Now I'm more excited than ever to try to find the missing piece of evidence to strengthen her argument.
Today while reviewing Nathan's Chronology, I noticed that I had not recorded any land transactions while he lived in Woodstock, Connecticut. Often, the initial purchase of land in a new area would state where the buyer lived previously. Wouldn't it be amazing if I found a land record where it listed him as "from Swansea, Massachusetts," the possible birth place Marian identified? If so, it would certainly tie the two locations together and solidify the case.
Next I reviewed Nathan's To Do List I had compiled in Legacy. I noticed that back in September 2000 I did search for him in the Woodstock land records. However, in the "Task Description" below, it appears that I was more interested in learning when he left Woodstock than when he initially arrived.
The "Results" section shows that I did find several Nathan Brown entries but none of the time period (pre-1791) when he would have come to Woodstock.
Ugh! Somewhere I should have recorded the timespan that I searched. Did I search from 1749 through 1867, or did I only search from 1800-1810? Genealogical best practices suggests that we always record what we searched for, how thorough our search was, and indicate any anomalies with the records. Do this even if you did not find anything in your search. You will save yourself hours of duplicate research if you are thorough in your use of Legacy's To Do List.
So, this weekend I'm off to the Mesa Family History Center (about a 60 minute drive) to "re"search these land records. And this time, I'll be sure to be thorough with recording my findings.

I'm finally caught up.
After a couple of days where things went a little wonky with my #daily365 schedule, I'm now up to date with my projects. Because of the brewing events of the past couple of days, I felt that a 2-for-1 was appropriate for this catch-up session. So, without further ado:
Some notes on the CSED
If you live in the vicinity of the NY/NJ/CT/PA area, you're likely aware of the double wallop of snow the area (generally speaking) is going to hit with the next couple of days. Although yesterday was a pleasant enough day (weather-wise), today is an entirely different story altogether, and I think the images for 2/24 and 2/25 speak for themselves.
Hope you enjoy this glimpse into my last couple of days. As always, your thoughts and feedback are welcome, and appreciated.

iPen teased in Apple patent
The folks at Apple have once again pushed out a patent for a device they've never before suggested they'd go through with, this time an "iPen" complete with haptic feedback and a speaker. This device has been discovered by Patently Apple will likely never see the light of day, but was indeed filed by inventors Aleksandar Pance and Omar Leung for Apple back in the fourth quarter of 2010 and was published by the US Patent and Trademark Office today. Have a peek at what might have been – or what may be in the near future.
The Apple iPen was meant to work with a tablet device (or Koala pad, whatever the device you're seeing here would have ended up being), and would work with an active application and operating system between drivers on both the pen and the device its writing on. This means that there's one whole heck of a lot more going on here than in the majority of the stylus devices we see today save perhaps Samsung's solution with the S-Pen on the Galaxy Note: Samsung Galaxy Note for AT&T Review.
One of the bigger things holding Apple back from doing anything like this, from creating a pen at all, is the fact that it'd have to be a detachable piece of hardware made to work with the main piece of hardware: the tablet. The closest we've come to this sort of situation on a mobile device from Apple has been the SIM card slot on the iPad and iPhone – and it pushes in essentially flush with the device in the end.
"An input device capable of generating haptic feedback may help a user navigate content displayed on the display screen, and may further serve to enhance the content of various applications by creating a more appealing and realistic user interface." – Apple Patent
This iPen has a haptic actuator down the middle, a transmitter and sensor up near its head, and a receiver down by its tip. Between the controller/driver and the receiver, you've got your demodulator/decoder, and the whole thing is powered by what appears to be a relatively small battery at the back end. This device is very likely not going to lead to much of anything, much less an addition to the next iPad or iPhone. Keep on dreaming, lovers of the stylus, or just go get a Samsung device.

"How to take a good nude selfie" is one of the questions that has grown in popularity the quickest in the modern day, and the rapid rise of OnlyFans in 2020 (and continuing into 2022) has only made it even more pressing.
Getting involved in OnlyFans can often be a complicated topic.
First, you have to decide whether it's right for you.
If you do sign up, you need to make sure your profile is set up properly and you have the right kinds of content.
From there, you need to jump into promoting your OnlyFans as much as possible.
Eventually, you'll be earning enough that you can start to use professional account management services so that you can keep growing while spending much less time – but those early days will take a lot of time and consistency.
We've written some in-depth guides on those topics to help you make as much money from OnlyFans as possible, so don't forget to check those out if you haven't seem them yet:
- Who Should Start an OnlyFans?
- How to Create & Optimize an OnlyFans
- How to Promote Your OnlyFans Account
- How to Promote Your OnlyFans on Instagram
- Instagram Account Management Services
However, there's one thing some people forget:
You can do all of the above to a high standard, but if you don't nail the basics, you're always going to struggle.
By "the basics", we mean basic sales tactics, how to talk to potential customers via DM, and most importantly, how to take a sexy nude selfie.
We're sure we don't need to explain why this is important – the simple fact is the higher quality your content, the more subscribers you get, the longer they subscribe for, and the more tips they send.
On the flipside, low quality images will just lead to your fans leaving in droves, wasting your promotion efforts. and reversing any growth you manage to achieve.
There are amateur level nudes that look like you've never done it before. These are all over the internet and don't catch anybody's attention.
There are higher quality nudes that somebody might send to their partner. These can work well in a lot of situations.
But there are also professional quality nudes that can make almost anybody say DAMN! These are incredibly rare.
For OnlyFans creators looking for long term growth, only that last type is good enough, and no amount of time spent perfecting your craft is too much.
You may think that some other people are just naturals and that you'll always suck, but instead of taking that attitude, learn from those people you think are great and don't be afraid to imitate their techniques!
We'll start right here by taking you through our favourite tips on how to take a hot nude selfie!
First, we need to get you mentally and physically ready, and set the scene!
The first thing you'll want to do is decide on the type of photos you're planning to take. It could be fully nude for your OnlyFans, partially nude to use for promotion, or fully clothed for purposes such as brand modelling or influencer marketing.
If we're talking specifically about OnlyFans content, it's a good idea to created themed sets that are different to what you've offered before. This helps keep your content fresh and prevent long term subscribers from getting bored.
If you've decided on a certain theme, try looking for models online who have done similar things before and see if you can learn anything from them, such as the angles, outfits, and backgrounds that work.
You should also think about your best assets, and how you can emphasize them – finding successful models with similar body types to yours can provide a wealth of ideas for this.
Once you've planned all of that and have a decent idea what you're doing, it's time to start getting ready:
Remove any Unwanted Hair!
Obviously, how much you need to shave depends on the images and videos you're planning to take.
If you're focusing on your face/upper body it might just be a case of some eyebrow plucking, but you may also want to do your bikini line for some more risque shots, or potentially everything if you're going fully nude.
Remember, do what makes you feel sexy and don't worry about what anyone else thinks – if you don't want to shave and prefer the natural look, that's up to you!
If you're reading this guide hoping to learn how to take a nude selfie as a guy, this might also be about keeping your facial hair nice and trimmed – but once again, a beard or stubble can be a sexy look in itself, so don't feel pressured.
Make Up for OnlyFans Content
When applying make up before taking nudes, it's a good idea to use a bit more than you usually would. Remember, images and videos are 2D, so some of the depth of your features will be lost otherwise.
Applying more makeup than usual can help to highlight tose features more clearly and make your eyes and lips stand out.
A thicker layer of foundation is likely a good idea too, as it can help to hide any blemishes and give you a more even skin tone across all of the images.
Red lipstick is a classic because it really helps your lips to stand out, and when combined with fake eyelashes and dark eyeliner, can give you an awesome old-school pinup model look.
You may prefer a more natural style, which can be achieved just by using some lipgloss, mascara and a lighter eyeshadow.
These are probably the two most popular makeup styles for OnlyFans creators, but you can also go way more unique if you like – bright, neon style colours might be your style, or maybe you want to go real dark and gothic – as long as it looks good, highlights your features, and suits your content, you're good to go!
It goes without saying that if you're trying to use OnlyFans anonymously and won't be posting your face at all, that you can avoid this section entirely.
Hair Styling for OnlyFans Shoots
How you want your hair will depend on the content you're creating.
If you're doing body photos or videos in the bath, it might be enough to simply tie your hair up and keep it out of the way.
It could just be a quick custom selfie for somebody that's focusing mostly on your body, in which case there is no need to waste time doing too much – just take care of any stray hairs and you'll be fine.
But if you're doing a full photo shoot, we would highly recommend working on the volume of your hair to a high standard to make it wild and sexy. This will elevate the standard of the entire shoot and improve the framing of your face too!
For brief custom videos, you could even go for the "wild" look, offering the implication of a recent "encounter" shall we say.
All of these ideas will help to improve your content and make them more attractive, memorable and authentic in a way that your subscribers might not exactly be able to put their finger on, but will certainly feel the benefit from!
Choosing Your Outfits
If clothes are part of your content plan, which they may well not be, pick out a few pieces of clothes in advance.
Your aim should be to tease and show off your best qualities, while also leaving something to the imagination. This is even more the case if you're taking photos to be used as previews, promotion or marketing.
In that case, they really need to grab people's attention and turn them on, while also making them wonder how much more they could see by subscribing to your OnlyFans.
The more unique content you can create, the better a position you'll be in, so don't be afraid to play with different lingerie to switch it up!
Things like:
- Negligees
- Bustiers
- Stockings & suspenders
- Garters
- Lace bras
- Push up bras
When it comes to the bottom half, stick to things like thongs, lace underwear, or even some sexy shorts – avoid old worn out underwear for obvious reasons and stay away from baggy stuff too, as even if it's new and cute, it won't show off your figure enough.
Bright coloured or even neon underwear is often a great move, as it will stand out alongside your skin tone and draw attention to the parts you want people looking at.
You can also add further props and accessories beyond underwear to spice things up such as:
- Ties or schoolgirl skirts
- Baggy button up shirts
- Necklaces (to highlight cleavage)
- High heels (always sexy!)
- Glasses
Of course, this is without going into the weird and wonderful worlds of fancy dress, cosplay and the like.
If those are things that interest you, a whole universe of outfits opens up – from Disney characters and cheerleaders to anime characters and real life celebrities – and you can make a successful OnlyFans accounts purely by specialising in such a category like this, if enough people fantasise about that character!
If you're wondering about how to take a good male nude selfie, great outfits can include:
- A tank top or vest to show off your physique
- A button up shirt with some undone buttons to show off your chest
- A similar range of costumes and fancy dress outfits from builders and lumberjacks to police and firefighters!
Setting the Scene: Locations & Background
When you first start creating OnlyFans content, a lot of it will likely be done at your home/in your bedroom.
Considering the "boudoir" nature of the content and the convenience of taking photos at home, this is not an issue.
You can also make some really great content at home, especially if you get creative with lighting, take photos in the shower, use props like couches and beds, take themed shots in the kitchen or garden (nude in an apron anyone?) or even take images against a plain wall.
There is a lot of mileage you can get out of doing things like this to keep things fresh from the comfort of your own home.
However, if you keep doing this in the long term, people will eventually start to get bored and want to see something different.
Your fans love to see you in different situations and places, and explicit content in public places or outdoors in nature is particularly exciting as it adds an element of risk as well as encouraging them to fantasise about what might happen if they stumbled across you….
If you live in the city, this can be tough, but still not impossible, as you can get some sneaky selfies on the street or on a building roof.
If you can get to the countryside, your options for this increase a lot, as you can take some awesome shots in woods, fields, and other natural beauty spots.
If you create couple content this is also a great way to spice up the usual "acts" and add a more risqué edge to them.
Setting the Scene: Cleaning Up!
If you do decide to do your shoot at home, it's important to tidy up first. It's not just to make the image as clean and tidy as possible, but also to avoid distractions.
You don't want strange objects in the back of your photos that will attract attention away from you.
You also don't want any general clutter such as dishes, cups or large, distracting wall hangings making the whole placed a bit too "lived in".
A simple example is clearing your nightstands if you're taking photos on your bed, or removing any wet towels if you're in the bathroom.
TIP: It's usually a good idea to take photos of the area you're going to be photographing yourself in (without you) first, so that you can see what it looks like on screen. This will allow you to spot things you might not have otherwise and make small adjustments before beginning.
If you're using a mirror for your selfies, ensure you wipe it down with a glass cleaning spray, and potentially wipe your camera lens too – dirt and grime on either of these things can reduce the quality of your images and add weird marks that look like blemishes on your skin.
When it comes to lighting, natural lighting is always better than electrical lighting – it softens you and gives you more naturally bright and even features.
As a result, the best time to take nudes at home is likely close to midday, with wide open curtains and blinds (if privacy allows for this!).
If natural lighting isn't available, overhead lighting should still be avoided – if you can afford special lights made for this purpose such as ring lights, they will look much better. If you can't, then even a lamp will be better than the shadows cast over your features by overhead lighting.
Coloured lighting can also be an amazing way to give your images their own unique aesthetic, and when blended with brightly coloured underwear, can help to create a really striking look.
Taking Your Photos
A huge part of knowing how to take a tasteful nude selfie is knowing your camera settings and your best angles.
If you have a high quality camera we would recommend checking out this guide to camera settings.
Phone Camera Tips for OnlyFans
However, even if you're simply using your smartphone (like most OnlyFans creators do), there are still some useful settings that can help give you more options.
For example, the timer setting is a goldmine and will allow you to take a wide range of photos and angles that would otherwise be impossible. Changing the focus is also a necessary skill that will improve your results.
We would highly recommend investing in a tripod, as this combined with the timer setting will allow you to take photos from almost any angle you can imagine.
These days, there are also a ton of amazing filters you can use – in Instagram, Snapchat, and even in your phone's camera settings.
Just don't use them 100% of the time, as people love to see your natural face too!
Ensure You Have Privacy
While we covered this briefly already, it's important not to forget this as you don't want somebody unexpectedly walking in on you mid shoot.
If you're shooting in the middle of the day, this might mean staying away from windows to avoid peeping toms.
It could just be as simple as ensuring your door is locked to avoid people you live with from walking in unannounced!
Of course there's a much more innocent side of it too – if you have pets, it's time to lock them out of the room for a while, to avoid any wagging tails or mischievous kitties in the background of your content!
Objects matter here too – think about framing and try not to show messy rooms, weird objects or anything else that's gonna draw attention away from your hoe-ness.
Set the Mood
It's important to set the mood before starting your photoshoot.
It's a good idea to look at yourself in the mirror first to remind yourself of what you like about your body, to focus on your favourite assets and think about how to emphasize them.
If you feel self conscious or nervous, this will show in the end result – so embrace your self love, and don't be afraid to drink a little wine or smoke a joint if you think it will help you to loosen up.
You could also put on some relaxing music, or themed music to suit your shoot.
If you're creating custom content to meet somebody's request, take this time to think again about what they're looking for and how you can go the extra mile to make the ideal content for them.
If it's more general content for your OnlyFans feed or social media – have a think about what you want to achieve with it and how you're going to do that.
Focusing on Your Best Features
Take a look at yourself in the mirror and decide what you like most about your body. It needn't be the cliché six pack or chest for men, or boobs or butt for women (although it might be!).
It may seem like some of your favourite models and creators have a borderline magical ability to focus on their assets and make themselves look incredible, but this is just experience and they all started where you are right now.
Instead of feeling that you'll never match what they can do – go through their images with a fine tooth comb and figure out how they're achieving what they are. You can learn a lot simply by looking at photos from an accomplished model or creator and trying to hit similar angles.
There are some real simple tips worth keeping in mind, for example if you're taking a face selfie, put your camera slightly above your face so that it's looking down on you.
This has the effect of making your face look thinner and longer, and also gives you the opportunity to include some of your body in it.
If you're wondering about how to take a nude butt selfie, a great tactic can be to take a photo over your shoulder in the mirror. This has the double benefit of helping to make your back curve more than usual and tensing your butt cheeks to make them as round, firm and perky as possible.
Best Poses for Nude Selfies
One of the most important things you can learn is your best angles. If you're here learning how to take a tasteful nude girl selfie, this may simply mean showing yourself in your best light or focusing on your favourite body parts.
For those looking for how to take a great male nude selfie, this can still be the case, but on the other hand, if you're going for a dick pic it could be more effective to try a low angle which will make everything appear larger.
Either way, you can use camera timers, selfie sticks, tripods, a friend, or even professional photographers to achieve this. When you find a pose that suits you and shows off your assets in their best light, you will likely start to make that pose an ongoing part of your arsenal.
Just be sure not to use the same poses too much, as fans will love to see you in different positions and in ways they haven't seen you before.
However, sometimes you don't have time or access to any of the above to help you, and are stuck to simply taking selfies of yourself.
Here are our tips for how to take an amazing nude (or semi nude) selfie:
1: Keep your body in the "S-curve" shape.
The S-curve is a selfie classic that you've almost certainly seen before, even if you didn't know what the model in question was doing.
It goes like this:
- Arch your back as much as you can so that your butt is pushed as far backwards as it will go and your breasts are sticking out in the forward direction. This will force your body into an hourglass shape, accentuate your boobs and butt, and is a fundamental part of how to take a good nude boob selfie.
- Lift your chin up high. Then, lift it even higher than you think you should. This will feel super awkward at first and may seem like a strange and unnatural thing to do, but it'll keep your neck, cheeks and face looking slim and narrow, and it stops weird effects like your face throwing a shadow over your neck, or shadows on your collarbone.
- Push your shoulders back. This will make your breasts more prominent and appear larger in relation to the rest of your body.
Take note of the example photos above and where their phones are situated too – it's much better to put your phone/camera out to the side in order to prevent it from covering your face whenever possible (unless you are on OnlyFans anonymously, in which case cover away!).
2: Try lying down on your stomach on a bed, bench or similar, and taking a selfie from this angle with a priority on your chest, ass, legs, or whatever else you may want to show off.
This is a very common option for nude pictures, and why not? If you were sending your real partner a nude image there's a good chance you'd be in bed or otherwise lazing around.
It also helps stir the imagination of the viewer and allows them to picture themselves being right there with you.
The options are broader than you might think too – you can lie on your stomach and hold your boobs to take a great boob selfie. You can take a great ass shot from behind like the center option above. Or you can go all out with a full frontal, spread eagle kitty shot. There are a lot of options!
3: Get creative with props, themed content and costumes.
The more unique and eye-catching the better. No matter how attractive you are or how great you are at taking photos, images of your body in different poses can only keep people engaged for so long before they move on.
Popular ideas for this include cosplay, colourful wigs, fancy dress, BDSM/bondage focused content, and more. It can even tie into more specific fetishes such as bimbofication, female domination etc.
It is smart to try things that directly relate to your fans and your target audience here. For example, if your content is focused on gaming and anime and your fans are mostly nerds, you're going to get a much better response from a cosplay selfie than you would if your fans were all fitness enthusiasts. In that case, a gym photoshoot would be a lot more effective!
This can also help subscribers and fans to relate to you more and feel comfortable talking to you about specific topics, which is win win!
4: Keep your face in mind, and ensure it's relaxed and happy
If you're trying to show off your body in your OnlyFans content, it can be pretty easy to overlook your face, but this is just as important, if not more important in some cases.
Resting bitch face is something we can all be guilty of! While it certainly isn't something to feel self conscious or ashamed about, it could well make it harder for fans to relate to you as a person. However, this is exactly what you want them to do, since fans who relate to you subscribe for longer and tip more.
Avoid looking into the camera lens. This makes it a little too obvious that a camera is in the room and makes it all just appear like a manufactured selfie. If you're looking elsewhere, you come across more natural, and it feels to viewers like they are getting a private view into your life.
For a "professional model" type look, you could close your eyes slightly and stare off into the distance.
If you're going for a more explicit image such as content with toys or hardcore videos, you may want to do an orgasmic expression to really sell how much you're enjoying what's happening.
However, in many other types of content, especially selfies, you will struggle to do better than a smile.
A real, natural, unforced smile is the sexiest thing in the world.

Hessian Landgrenadierregiment
Hierarchical Path: Seven Years War (Main Page) >> Armies >> Hesse-Kassel Army >> Hessian Landgrenadierregiment
Origin and History
A militia unit was created in 1707 as the Landgrenadierregiment. In 1760, this militia unit was converted into the Grenadierregiment initially intended to serve as garrison to free up the regular troops for service.
The regimental Chefs were:
- in 1761: Blome
- in 1762: von Wülkenitz
- in 1763: Müller
Service during the War
In the spring of 1758, Hessian militia were assembled and used, along with Hanoverian jägers, to guard the roads of the country.
On July 31 1760, the battalion took part in the Battle of Warburg where it was deployed in the second line of the centre between Ossendorf and Menne.
Hessian troops wore a uniform in the Prussian style including the grenadier and fusilier hat.
|Neck stock
|black (maybe red)
|dark blue with 6 large brass buttons arranged 2-2-2 on the chest; 2 smaller brass button on the right side at the waist; 1 brass button on each side in the small of the back
|black fastened with small brass buttons
|Leather Equipment
Troopers were armed with a sword (brass hilt), a bayonet and a musket which was fitted with a leather carry strap.
Other interpretations
Brauer illustrates a grenadier mitre with blue back piped white. For 1769, Bornemann depicts a similar mitre cap. Other sources (Thalmann, Böhm and various Handschrift) illustrating grenadiers of this unit between 1769 and 1787 depict a mitre cap with blue back and a red headband all piped white.
Officers wore the same uniform as the privates with the following distinctions:
- a black tricorne laced gold
- a white neck-stock
- a dark blue coat without shoulder strap and turnback
- a gilt gorget
- a silver silken sash with red flecks
NCOs wore the same uniform as the privates but had no shoulder strap and a golden edging on each cuff. They carried the Prussian style partizan. The standard staff was black.
By the Seven Years War the convention of wearing reversed colours had disappeared. The Garrison regiment drummers now wore a simpler version of the usual drummer uniform. They had the same dark blue coat but only white and red livery lace placed around the 'swallows nests' on the shoulder.
Drum barrels were of polished brass and were decorated with the Hessian Lion. The drum cords were white and, for this regiment, the rim was a pattern of alternating red and white diagonal stripes with a thin sky blue stripe edging every diagonal.
To the present day, a definitive reconstruction of the Hesse-Cassel colours during the Seven Years' War is non-existent. All existing publications are mostly speculative. The Leib (colonel) colour was probably white.

A draw is on the cards after South Africa finished day three on 61 without loss, still 17 runs behind Bangladesh with two days to play in Chittagong.
Dean Elgar (28) and Stiaan van Zyl (33) will continue batting on Friday after bad light stopped play early on Thursday.
The duo looked comfortable on a wicket which continues to deteriorate and favour the bowlers. Unfortunately for Bangladesh, their bowlers haven't been able to create a breakthrough as the visitors edge closer to start building a target.
Time, however, is running out and the possibility of this Test having a winner gets smaller every time there is a rain delay. Barring a total batting collapse on either side, this one is heading towards a draw.
South Africa had earlier on Thursday bowled out Bangladesh for 326, their highest ever Test score against the Proteas. It gave them a decent lead of 78 runs after the SA bowlers struggled throughout the morning to get regular wickets.
It was a frustrating session after lunch for the visitors as Shakib Al Hasan (47) and Liton Das (50) shared an 82-run partnership. Simon Harmer finally broke the stand after he had Al Hasan caught by JP Duminy.
Mohammad Shahid came to the crease and decided to put the bowlers under pressure by attacking them from the outset. He especially went after Simon Harmer and reached 25 off 19 balls before he was caught in the outfield by Stiaan van Zyl trying to go big.
Shahid's innings accelerated his team's lead to 63 and allowed Das to reach his first international Test fifty.
Although Hashim Amla dropped a catch in the slips towards the end, Dale Steyn managed to claim three wickets to close in on 400 Test victims. He needs just one more to get there and will become only the second South African after Shaun Pollock to reach the milestone.
Elgar and Van Zyl will be minded to give the middle order the best platform possible on Friday as the likes of Faf du Plessis, Hashim Amla, JP Duminy and Quinton de Kock are all under pressure to score runs.
Erasing the deficit before losing a wicket will go a long way to setting up the rest of the innings.
Van Zyl will also be looking to convert his start into a big score as he tries to establish himself at the top of the order.
With Reeza Hendricks also in the Test squad Van Zyl will know his opportunities are few to prove he belongs as an opener.

2007 GMC Yukon XL Denali--Front Lip Removed
Denali snow
Originally uploaded by istargazer.
I bought 17" winter rims this season in anticipation of getting chains for my YDXL but I'm happy to discover that even with our record-setting snowfall this year, I've had no problems getting around very deep snow conditions.
The only problem I had was going in snow that was deep and icy enough to rip off the black plastic lip under the front bumper. One side had ripped off making the mounting hole slightly bigger than the screw that held it in. I didn't want to risk having the entire lip rip off and losing it somewhere on the road, so I took it off. I'll re-install it in the spring.

What do pop superstar Beyoncé and the annual Galway Cathedral novena have in common? A suggestive press release would suggest a lot, so The Irish Catholic went to investigate.
In May 2003, Beyoncé released 'Crazy in Love' which went straight to the top of the charts and has subsequently become one of the most performed songs of the last decade.
According to the singer, the hit record speaks "about how, when you are falling in love, you do things that are out of your character and you do not really care because you are just open".
The lyrics refer to a state of romantic obsession. Being crazy in love means that you are prepared to do crazy things for the person or persons you love.
More than two centuries before Beyoncé released her single, an Italian preacher was using the same language to talk about God. The preacher was St Alphonsus Liguori, founder of the Redemptorists.
He used the phrase pazzo per amore to describe God's 'crazy' love for humanity.
It turns out this will be just one of the many topics Redemptorist preachers will be speaking about during the nine day novena in Galway which begins next week.
Something special
Fr Martin Whelan, who is based at Galway Cathedral, believes there is "something special" about this time of year. "Spring time, just before Lent… January can be quite sleepy month so the novena creates a genuine sense of occasion. In a way it is a start to the year in terms of energy and enthusiasm," Fr Whelan said.
The novena itself is a massive event, not just in the life of the Church, but in the life of Galway city, with an average of 10,000 people passing though the cathedral daily.
"The novena is a massive operation. A whole culture has built up around it. As an institution it's solidly supported by the people of Galway," Fr Whelan said.
While the Redemptorists are the facilitators, it's all hands-on-deck for the cathedral staff and volunteers for the nine days. Read Full Article

Total Internal Reflection
Application ID: 71841
The bidirectional formulation of the Beam Envelopes interface can be used not only for counter-propagating wave simulations but also for waves propagating to up to two directions.
In this model, an almost collimated Gaussian beam is excited at the left boundary and exhibits total internal reflection (TIR) at the interface of two media on the sides and gets out the domain from the right boundary at 20 mm away.
This is useful for virtual reality (VR) simulation.
This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
however, additional products may be required to completely define and model it. Furthermore, this example may also be defined and modeled using components from the following product combinations:
The combination of COMSOL® products required to model your application depends on several factors and may include boundary conditions, material properties, physics interfaces, and part libraries. Particular functionality may be common to several products. To determine the right combination of products for your modeling needs, review the Specification Chart and make use of a free evaluation license. The COMSOL Sales and Support teams are available for answering any questions you may have regarding this.

Was it the cooling of the universe? Naively, I would expect the lowering density to work against star formation.
We can't observe the population III stars directly so our knowledge of them is based upon computer modelling. The modelling shows that the main problem is getting the collapsing clouds of hydrogen to cool enough to become dense.
It might seem a bit odd to require that the clouds cool, because after all we want the forming star to get hot enough for fusion to start. The trouble is that we need massive (much more massive than a single star) gas clouds to become dense enough for star formation to start. For this we need a way for the collapsing cloud to shed energy, but hydrogen atoms aren't very good at this and the early universe was mostly hydrogen and helium with only trace amounts of heavier atoms.
In today's gas clouds the cooling is mainly due to molecules and heavier elements. The mechanism is that collisions excite rotational, vibrational and electronic states, and these decay by emission of photons. The end result is to radiate away the kinetic energy (i.e. heat) of the cloud.
In the early universe this couldn't happen because there weren't any molecules or heavy elements. Localised cooling only became possible when the average temperature became low enough for hydrogen molecules to form. Once hydrogen molecules built up to a significant level they could start converting kinetic energy to photons so it could be radiated away.
And that's what set the timescale for the first star formation. The average temperature had to fall enough for hydrogen molecules to form.

Microsoft Building New Browser Based on Chromium ⇥ petri.com
Brad Sams, Petri:
With the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft tried to build a new browser that was based on their Trident rendering engine that we now know as Edge. But the browser has failed at its objective, to create a Microsoft-built browser that could compete with the likes of Chrome and Firefox.
Because of their lack of momentum since the release of Windows 10, the company is announcing a significant change today, they are building a new browser that is based on Chromium. And the company is bringing the new browser to every platform: Windows 7, 8, 10 and even MacOS.
While the company is not commenting on any timeline for availability aside from a preview build in early 2019, the basics are this: it's building a new version of Edge, based on Chromium, that will be updated at a cadence that is not tied to Windows updates. Further, this app will not be in the Microsoft Store and will be serviced outside of that platform.
Chromium is already the most popular rendering engine in terms of worldwide browser share on any platform. This decision only builds upon that dominance, and it could lead to more websites built just for Chromium.
It's funny, though, that the new Internet Explorer really is going to be the new Internet Explorer.

Suspected ritualist arrested with fresh human head in Ibadan
Men of the Oyo State Police Command have arrested a suspected ritualist, Mr. Taju Olalekan for being in possession of a fresh human head.
Olalekan was arrested at Modina area, Idi-Aro, Ibadan, at about 6.30 a.m., last Sunday.
The command made this know in a statement issued on Tuesday by its Public Relations Officer, Mr. Adekunle Ajisebutu.
He said that the arrest of the 32-year old suspect followed information by members of the public who were curious about his strange and suspicious movement and raised the alarm.
"Consequently, policemen attached to the Idi-Aro Police Division mobilized and promptly raced to the scene where the suspect was eventually arrested with the exhibit.
"During interrogation, the suspect disclosed that the exhibit was given to him by an accomplice younger brother, Saheed Olalekan, who is currently on the run. Investigation also revealed that the suspect and his cohort have been dealing in human parts.
"Previously, two human skulls were sold to undisclosed clients. The latest recovered part was meant for a yet- to- be- identified pastor in Ibadan.
"The State Commissioner of Police, Abiodun Odude, has directed the Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department (CIID), Iyaganku, to take over the case with a view to carrying out diligent investigation and prosecution", he said.

The Blue Marble: What We Know For Sure…
"We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience." – Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
The Noblest Death…
When we think of earth, most of us don't imagine the magnificent vision of the blue marble; a picture of our earth taken by the crew of Apollo 17 in 1972. By the same token, when we think of life, we rarely add its definitive companion – death. What we know for sure is that all who live, eventually die. The bigger question is: which do you fear most, life or death?
Many, many years ago, in a town anchored by the blue marble, where how a man died was more revered than life itself, there lived three men. When a man died nobly, the town celebrated his death for seven days. If a man didn't, then a perfunctory burial took place quickly and without any pomp and circumstance. Now you may ask, how did the town make its determination? Well, read on.
Each of the three men I mentioned earlier believed his path was destined and noble. In fact, each man believed that if he performed certain actions and paid certain dues to the gods, the leaders, and his fellow men and women, his death would be noble and the town would celebrate his demise. The first man was a rich merchant in Khmer who traveled for trade. He was successful, he gave alms, he cheated his customers sometimes, but washed his sins away in the temple by donating huge sums of money. He believed all people who weren't rich were lazy or stupid.
The second man was a holy monk at Angor Wat whose life was full of study and practice. He was a devoted sadhu and prayed without ceasing. He hated people he considered sinful meat eaters, and fantasized about orgies and someday ruling the guileless idiots beneath him who had no respect for sadhus or prayers.
The third man was a poor sweeper at the temple who neither traveled nor studied. He did his job without expectation of praise or blame. He welcomed all to the temple without judgment. He focused on his work and gave it his best; his heart filled with gratitude. When he died, a blue pearl leaped from his third eye and merged into the depth of the blue marble… More on the story & on our Duo Blog Hops below! 🙂

"Die happily and look forward to taking up a new and better form. Like the sun, only when you set in the west can you rise in the east." Rumi
His was the noblest death of the three because he understood that it isn't what you do in life that matters, it is how you do it… He swept the temple courtyard ever mindful of what he was doing. What do you fear most? Are you living your best life or worrying about your demise?
What we know for sure is that we will all eventually die. Perform your duties as if the world is watching and remember that no matter what we do, we are all One. Trust, believe and live your life as if every breath is your last.

Dear Eliz,
How many time we have to celebrate funeral rites?
I remember New Orleans, Haiti, third: Fukushima.
Let's hope, that we are glad, when we are on the other side …
you said my article
R: river-washing-off-sorrows
was disturbing,
but I thought you are near to Eastern philosophies, religions, rites?
29/03/2011 12:39 am
Dear Frizztext,
You are right… I am and it was! Who knows what prompts the heart to touch on these topics again and again. Perhaps the equally disturbing world events? the realities of our lives? Elizabeth Taylor's death? The joy of birth? Dear One, even I don't know, I just go with the flow and the rest follows. It is not meant to be sad; just a fact of life plus I liked the three men short story when I read it, so I made some changes and added another level to flesh out the story and add more meaning….
Thank you for your feedback. It is not meant to be sad, but a reminder to live with joy and passion, no? 🙂
29/03/2011 5:07 am
I hope so… It would terribly sad if it didn't! 🙂
Hi, all!

the Bible says, in Colossians 3:23
Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters…
I think, whatever we do…we are doing for someone greater, or something greater than ourselves…that is what elevates…being led out of our human bodies and selfishness…into the light of love
29/03/2011 5:14 am
Indeed, our work should be for the greater good … beyond our own desires and expectations. Yet, God exists in all these human forms that we treat well or poorly… The temple sweeper had an eye for both pure service and equal treatment of others. Thanks for your feedback Jane…
It would be a wonderful shopping experience if all came to the table with the same conviction. More service, less meanness…
By the way, I have not been able to access your blog to leave you comments… Don't think it's a server problem because I have access to others… 🙂
Thanks again for your insights and feedback!

My philosophy is, I don't want to outlive my usefulness. So I feel a need to live fully and purposefully. When my purpose is over I will pass on. That said, I know I cannot learn all that I need to learn in one go round, so I will be back to learn more.
Good post! thanks.

Years ago, I read something that kind of relates to this. I think it was in, "Messages from Michael", a book of channeled material. One thing Michael said was, the rich man is often a young soul. The old soul is his gardener. I've never forgotten that. And, it makes a lot of sense to me, because the old soul knows how little there is to be gained from material wealth and the pursuit of same.
And I have long believed that it isn't so much what you do, but how and why you do it. That's my working theory, anyway.

You plan to come back Barbara? I don't! I do want my life to have meaning and be productive.
I love this post too and the underlying message about service and our attitude.
But why do a lot of fables pick on the rich? There are rich people who are virtuous, right?
I suspect it is more about selfihness and greed than their wealth.
The beauty of the story is its simplity and mystical quality.
You are a skilled storyteller and should put something together.

Hi Elizabeth. I signed up for your two week blog hop although I'm not sure how it works!

It's sad, in a way, that to really soak in the gift of life we must compare it to the ultimate fear of every living thing which is death. To savor the fragrance of a single rose, we must have experienced the loss of scent. I know it is true that we should live life to the fullest each day but reality interferes with that goal. If I could give myself just five minutes to drink in life's blessings each day, maybe I could find it in my soul to be a better person. One without the seven deadly sins chasing me. This is what I come away with today. Thanks Elizabeth.

Every day I wake up, looking forward to interacting with others in a joyful and positive way. I know I am fortunate to be blessed with such a positive outlook on life. It really makes all the difference. Whether you are cleaning out the toilet, researching a cure for cancer, writing a children's book, cashiering at a local food market…if you do it with a joyful heart to the best of your ability…you have found the secret of success!
I'm back home, Eliz…had a wonderful time…and eager to share. Thanks for a wonderful story and a great post!
29/03/2011 8:04 pm
Enjoyed reading the "Blue Marble"and the three men. Very well written. It is true, we need to live our life in having compassion for others, being joyful in a positive way. Live life the best we can each day !! Brings hope not only to ourselves, but for others around us.
29/03/2011 8:14 pm
Sorry, EOF, but this is a comment to the Mirth post which wouldn't let me post past your 27th post!? Anyway, yes we do have to find happiness even in the small things. I take care of it this way: my Mexican immigrant students provide me with much pleasure and since my kids are grown, I treat them to dinner out, movies, and books. We live at the shore, they live at the shore and every day in the summertime when both of their parents are working–they sit in the house and watch T.V. I buy them clothes from the thrift store too–gosh–it all makes me feel good!

ORANGE, Calif. / CNN — Four people, including a child, were killed in a mass shooting at an office complex in Orange, California, on Wednesday, officers said.
A fifth person was taken to a hospital in critical condition with a gunshot wound, Lt. Jennifer Amat said.
"Tonight around 5:30 p.m. officers arrived to a call of shots fired at the area of 202 W. Lincoln," Amat said. She also noted that officers encountered gunshots at the scene.
An officer-involved shooting occurred and a suspect was taken to the hospital, Amat said. The suspect sustained a gunshot wound and is in critical condition, she said.
The department did not give any other information about the suspect or about the victims.
"I can tell you that we haven't had an incident like this in the city of Orange since 1997," Amat said. "It's just such a tragedy for the victims, their families, our community, and our police department."
One firearm was recovered from the scene, Amat said.
The FBI Los Angeles division confirmed it responded to the shooting, but that the Orange Police Department was leading the investigation.

After a major water event damages your home or business, it can be easy to consider only the water pooling around your ankles as the problem. However, simply shop-vacuuming the water up and transporting it away from the house is only dealing with half the problem.
Whether the building has flooded due to a natural disaster, severe weather, pipes bursting or a loss of power to drainage systems, standing water in the home or business will inevitably lead to some rather expensive and potentially dangerous consequences. Once you've called in a professional team to clear away the water, a secondary process should begin immediately. This process is known as Structural Drying & Dehumidification.
In the wake of flooding and water damage to a building, the remaining water can hide behind walls, inside wall and ceiling cavities, below the floors and many other places that you may not initially think of. Though materials such as wood and drywall may appear dry once the bulk of the standing water has been removed, these materials are able to retain significant amounts of moisture. This lingering moisture will find hiding places within the ducts and HVAC system, sabotaging the humidity control function that would normally keep a building at the correct humidity level. If left unattended, this moisture will eventually damage any non-moisture-resistant material within the building. Such materials include documents, keepsakes, walls, and wallpaper, wood surfaces, clothing, linens, and even furniture. Nothing is safe from mold and mildew in an overly humid environment.
Once the bulk of the water has been removed from a property, technicians will enter with specialized equipment meant to help them assess the extent of damage done to the home. In this way, they are able to locate where the sources of water are, and machinery will be moved in to extract moisture from the air and building materials.
It's important to remember that mold can begin its lifecycle within 48 hours of a water event, so it's crucial to the health and safety of your property to have dehumidification and drying performed as soon as possible.

A typical application consists of more than one module and can even be as complex as you want. To make it faster and a little easier to graphically create an application, you would need a good functioning environment like Microsoft Visual Basic. Using it, you can create a new project or you can open an existing one.
To create a Visual Basic project, you can display the New Project dialog box. To open the New Project dialog box:
In the New Project dialog box, select Visual Basic Projects, select the type of project, give it a name, specify its directory, and click OK.
The instructions created for a Visual Basic project are written in plain English in a language easily recognizable to the human eye. After creating the file(s) of a project, you would compile the project to get an executable that becomes ready to be distributed to your users.
To compile and execute a project in one step, on the main menu, you can click Debug -> Start Without Debugging. Although there are other techniques or details in compiling (or debugging) and executing a project, for now, this is the only technique we will use until further notice.
As opposed to creating a new project, you can open a project that either you or someone else created. To open an existing project:
This action would display the Open Project dialog box. This allows you to select a project and open it.
With Microsoft Visual Studio, you can add one project to another, instead of starting one anew. To add a project to an existing one:
Any of these actions would display the Add New Project dialog box. You can then select the type of project In the middle list, give a name to the project, and click OK. In the same way, you can add as many projects as you judge necessary to your solution. When a solution possesses more than one project, the first node in the Solution Explorer becomes Solution 'ProjectName' (X Projects). The ProjectName represents the name of the first project and X represents the current number of projects.
When you are using more than one project in the same solution, one of the projects must be set as the startup. The project that is set as the startup has its name in bold characters in the Solution Explorer. You can change and use any project of your choice as the startup. To do this, in the Solution Explorer, you can right-click the desired project and click Set As StartUp Project.
When a solution possesses more than one project, you can build any project of your choice and ignore the others. To build one particular project, you can right-click it in the Solution Explorer and click Build.
There are two main ways you will manipulate an object of your application, visually or using code. In future sections, we will explore details of visually designing a control. Code of an application is ASCII text-based, written in plain English and readable to human eyes. For an application, you can use any text editor to write your code but one of Visual Studio's main strengths is the code editor. It is very intuitive.
The Code Editor is a window specially designed for code writing.
The Code Editor is divided in 4 sections:
The top section of the Code Editor displays tabs of property pages. Each tab represents a file. To add a new file to the project, on the main menu, you can click Project -> Add New Item...
Once in the Add New Item dialog box, in the middle section, click the type of file you want to create, type a name in the Name text box, and press Enter. After the file has been created, it is represented by a tab in the top section of the Code Editor. In the same way, you can add as many files as you judge them necessary. To access a tab:
By default, the tabs display in the order their files were created or added to the project, from left to right. If you don't like that arrangement, click and drag its tab either left or right beyond the next tab
The top-left section of the Code Editor displays a combo box named Class Name. As its name indicates, this combo box holds a list of the classes ( and structures) that are created in the current file. You can display the list if you click the arrow of the combo box:
Each item of the Class Name combo box displays the name of its type associated with its parent as implemented in the code.
The top-right section of the Code Editor displays a combo box named Members. The Members combo box holds a list of the members of classes. The content of the Members combo box depends on the item that is currently selected in the Class Name combo box. This means that, before accessing the members of a particular class, you must first select that class in the Class Name combo box. Then, when you click the arrow of the Method Name combo box, the members of only that class display:
If you select an item from the Method Name combo box, the Code Editor jumps to that members and positions the cursor to the left of the member.
Code is written in a wide area with a white background. This is the area you use the keyboard to insert code with common readable characters. The Code Editor uses some colors to differentiate categories of words or lines of text. The colors used are highly customizable. To change the colors, on the main menu, you can click Tools -> Options... In the Options dialog box, in the Environment section, click Fonts and Colors. To set the color of a category, in the Display Items section, click the category. In the Item Foreground combo box, select the desired color. If you want the words of the category to have a colored background, click the arrow of the Item Background combo box and select one:
In both cases, the combo boxes display a fixed list of colors. If you want more colors, you can click a Custom button to display the Color dialog box that allows you to "create" a color.
Microsoft Visual Basic is a programming environment that allows you to create various types of applications. In our lessons, we will mostly create graphical applications, also called Windows applications or Windows Forms applications.
A Windows application primarily appears as a rectangular object that occupies a portion of the screen. This type of object is under the management of the operating system, Microsoft Windows. Based on the functionality of Microsoft Windows, for an application to become useful, it must be opened. An application must have an entry point. On a C/C++ application, this entry point is a function called main. On a Win32 application, this entry point is a function called WinMain. In the Visual Basic language, this entry point is a function named Main.
Although you can directly create a graphical application when starting your project, if you had created a console application, you can still easily transform it into a Forms application:
If you are working from a text editor, to compile at the Command Prompt, you use the vbc.exe compiler. The vbc compiler is free from Microsoft. You likely have it already on your computer. If not, download the .NET Framework from the Microsoft web site (there is no way you can follow these lessons if the .NET Framework is not yet installed on your computer). Find out where your .NET Framework folder is because that folder contains the vbc compiler. By default, its path is C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.21006
You should add the path of the vbc.exe to the Environment Variables's Path. To start, select the path in the top combo box of the file utility and copy it (to the clipboard). Open the Control Panel. From Control Panel, click System and Security:
In the next window, click System:
In the next window, click Change Settings. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced property page, then click Environment Variables:
Under System Variables, click Path. Click Edit:
First check whether the path had been added already (there is no reason to add it again). If the path doesn't exist yet, press the right arrow key, type the semi-colon, then paste the path. Click OK, OK, and OK.
Before compiling the project, open the Command Prompt and switch to the folder that contains the file. To compile, type vbc followed by the name of the file and its extension. An example would be:
vbc Exercise.vb
Then press Enter. To execute the application, type the name of the file and press Enter. Here is an example:
Windows Forms is a technique of creating computer applications based on the common language runtime (CLR). It offers a series of objects called Windows Controls or simply, controls. These controls are already created in the .NET Framework through various classes. Application programming consists of taking advantage of these controls and customizing them for a particular application. To exploit these controls and other features of the .NET Framework, there are various types of applications you can create, including graphical applications (Windows Application), web-based applications (ASP.NET Web Application), console applications (Console Application), etc.
The objects used in a Windows application are stored in libraries also called assemblies. As normal libraries, these assemblies have the extension .dll (which stands for dynamic link library). In order to use one of these objects, you must know the name of the assembly in which it is stored. Then you must add a reference to that assembly in your application.
To add a reference to an assembly, on the main menu, you can click Project -> Add Reference... You can also right-click the name of the project in the Solution Explorer and click Add Reference... Any of these actions would display the Add Reference dialog box from where you can click the reference, click Select and click OK. If you don't see the reference you are looking for, you can locate it on another drive or directory using the Browse button.
There are two broad categories of objects used in a Windows Forms application: the forms and the controls. A form is the most fundamental object used on an application. It is a rectangular object that uses part of the computer desktop to represent an application. A form is based on the Form class that is defined in the System.Windows.Forms namespace created in the System.Windows.Forms.dll assembly. Every GUI application you will create starts with a form. There are various techniques you can use to get a form in your application:
The primary means of getting a form into an application consists of deriving one from the Form class.
The form is the object that gives presence to an application. Once you have created the (primary) form of your application, you can get it ready to display on the screen. This is taken care of by the Application class equipped to start an application, process its messages or other related issues, and stop the application.
The Application class provides the overloaded Run() method that can be used to start a program. One of the versions of this method takes a form as argument. This form must be the first, main or primary form of your application; it will be the first to display when the application comes up.
Before building the project at the Command Prompt, switch to the folder the contains your file. To compile, type vbc followed by the name of the file and its extension. To execute, type the name of the file that contains the Main() function and press Enter.
Normally, to compile, you would type csc, followed by either /r: or /reference:, followed by the names of the DLLs that contain the objects you are using in your code, followed by the name(s) of the file(s) that contain(s) your code and its (their) extension(s). To indicate that you are creating a graphical application, after the list of DLLs but before the name(s) of the file(s), type either /t:winexe or /target:winexe.
Remember that, after compiling, to execute, type the name of the file that contains the Main() function and press Enter.
Besides the windows and functionalities we reviewed earlier, when you work on a project, there are other features that become available.
The Server Explorer is an accessory that allows you to access SQL Server databases without using the physical server and without opening Microsoft SQL Server:
The items of this window display in a tree. To expand a node, you can click its + button. To collapse it, click its - button.
The Solution Explorer is a window that displays the file names and other items used in your project:
The items of this window display in a tree. To expand a node, you can click its + button. To collapse it, click its - button. To explore an item, you can double-click it. The result depends on the item you double-clicked.
The Solution Explorer can be used to create a new class, a new folder, or a reference. To perform any of these operations, you can right-click a folder node such as the name of the project, position the mouse on Add and select the desired operation. You can also perform any of these operations from the Project category of the main menu.
Besides adding new items to the project, you can also use the Solution Explorer to build the project or change its properties. If you add one or more other project(s) to the current one, one of the projects must be set as the default. That project would be the first to come up when the user opens the application. By default, the first project created is set as the default. If you have more than one project, to set the default, right-click the name of the desired project in Solution Explorer and click Set As StartUp Project.
The Solution Explorer also allows you to rename or delete some of the items that belong to your project.
The Class View displays the various classes used by your project, including their ancestry. The items of the Class View an organized as a tree list with the name of the project on top:
The Class View shares some of its functionality with the Solution Explorer. This means that you can use it to build a project or to add new class.
While the Solution Explorer displays the items that are currently being used by your project, the Class View allows you to explore the classes used in your applications, including their dependencies. For example, sometimes you will be using a control of the of the .NET Framework and you may wonder from what class that control is derived. The Class View, rather than the Solution Explorer, can quickly provide this information. To find it out, expand the class by clicking its + button.
On a form, the client area is the body of the form without the title bar, its borders and other sections we have not mentioned yet such as the menu, scroll bars, etc:
Besides the form, every control also has a client area. The role of the client area is to specify the bounding section where the control can be accessed by other controls positioned on it. Based on this, a control can be visible only within the client area of its parent. Not all controls can be parent.
Application programming primarily consists of adding objects to your project. Some of these objects are what the users of your application use to interact with the computer. As the application developer, one of your jobs will consist of selecting the necessary objects, adding them to your application, and then configuring their behavior. There are various ways you can get a control into your application. If you are using Notepad or a text editor to add the objects, you can write code. If you are using Microsoft Visual Basic, you can visually select an object and add it.
To create your applications, there are two settings you will be using. If a control is displaying on the screen and you are designing it, this is referred to as design time. This means that you have the ability to manipulate the control. You can visually set the control's appearance, its location, its size, and other necessary or available characteristics. The design view is usually the most used and the easiest because you can glance at a control, have a realistic display of it and configure its properties. The visual design is the technique that allows you to visually add a control and manipulate its display. This is the most common, the most regularly used, and the easiest technique.
The other technique you will be using to control a window is with code, writing the program. This is done by typing commands or instructions using the keyboard. This is considered, or referred to, as run time. This is the only way you can control an object's behavior while the user is interacting with the computer and your program.
A Windows control is a graphical object that allows the user to interact with the computer. The controls are as varied as the needs and goals are. Because there are so many controls for various purposes, their insertion to an application and their configuration are left to the computer programmer. The Toolbox is the accessory that provides most of the controls used in an application:
By default, the Toolbox is positioned on the left side of the IDE. To change that position, you can drag its title bar away and dock it to another side of the IDE. The Toolbox also uses a default width to show the items on it. If the width is too narrow or too wide, you can change it. To do this, position the mouse to its right border and drag left or right.
When Microsoft Visual Studio is set up, it installs in the Toolbox the most regularly used controls. If you are working in an environment that creates only a particular group of applications and there are controls you hardly use, if you want, you can remove them from the list. To remove a control, right-click it and click Delete.
Besides the objects in the Common Controls section, other controls are left out but are still available. Some of the left out controls were created with the .NET Framework but are not installed by default because they are judged hardly used. To add one or more of these left out controls, right-click anywhere in the Toolbox and click Choose Items... In the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box, click the .NET Framework Components tab, then click the check box of the desired control before clicking OK:
In addition to custom .NET controls, some other objects called ActiveX controls were used in previous versions of Visual Basic or Visual Studio and are available. To take care of compatibility issues, most previous ActiveX controls were reconfigured and adapted to be used in a .NET application. To add some of these left out controls, right-click anywhere in the Toolbox and click Choose Items... In the Choose Toolbox Items dialog box, click the COM Components tab, select the desired control before clicking OK
When you start a Windows Application, it provides various controls on the Toolbox so you can choose which ones are appropriate for your particular application. Controls can be set by categories based on their function or role. A container is a control whose main purpose is to host other controls. To design it, you pick up objects from the Toolbox and drop them where desired. The Toolbox organizes its items in categories and each category is represented by a button:
If the available list of categories is not enough, you can add a new section of your choice. By default, Visual Studio hides some categories because they are judged hardly used. To display these additional sections, you can right-click anywhere in the Toolbox and click Show All:
If you still want an additional tab not included in the list, you can add one (or more). To do that, right-click anywhere in the Toolbox and click Add Tab. You would be prompted to provide a name. After typing the new name, press Enter.
To use an object of a particular category, you can first click its button. After selecting a category, it displays its items. In each category, a particular button called Pointer is selected by default. This simply indicates that no item in the group is currently selected.
By default, the items in each category are organized as horizontal wide buttons:
Alternatively, you can list the items of a category as buttons of a list view. To do that, you can right-click anywhere in the category and click List View to remove its check box:
When Microsoft Visual Studio is installed, it adds the buttons in a somewhat random order. In the beginning, this can make it difficult to find a particular control when you need it. If you find it more convenient, you can arrange the list of controls in any order of your choice. You have two main options. To change the position of an item in the list, right-click it and click either Move Up or Move Down. Alternatively, you can arrange the items in alphabetic order. To do that, right-click anywhere in the Windows Forms section and click Sort Items Alphabetically:
Once you have rearranged items alphabetically, the Toolbox forgets the previous arrangement and you cannot restore it. Alternatively, you can right-click the button of a control and click either Move Up or Move Down.
