Pimps Up, Hos Down!
"Hip-hop culture is no more or less violent and sexist than other American cultural products,� Sharpley-Whiting argues.
In the wake of Don Imus being fired for his racist comments about Black women, there have been renewed complaints in certain African-American circles about gangsta rap for its similar demeaning depictions of females. Therefore, you probably couldn't ask for a more timely release of a book than "Pimps Up, Ho's Down: Hip Hop's Hold on Young Black Women� by T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting.
Its author, a model-turned-professor and director of the African-American and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University, not only has her finger on the pulse, but shares a cornucopia of novel insights here. Most folks are already familiar with the well-aired complaints about hip-hop by such monitors of American culture as Stanley Crouch and Bill O'Reilly. What makes Ms. Sharpley-Whiting unique is not only that she's a Black female but that she admits to being conflicted as a fan of the controversial genre.
Capable of dissecting the subject from the inside out and from a variety of angles, she serves up a string of salient insights in the process, such as when echoing Imus' self-defense that gansta' rap is merely a reflection of generally-accepted values. "Hip-hop culture is no more or less violent and sexist than other American cultural products,� she argues. "However, it is more dubiously highlighted by the media as the source of violent misogyny in American youth culture.�
Highly recommended as a seminal tome likely to usher in a promising new era of honest intellectual debate about the imminent head-on collision between hip-hop and emerging, black feminist thinking.     Â
Pimps Up, Ho's Down: Hip Hop's Hold on Young Black Women. by T. Denean Sharpley-Whiting. NYU Press. Hardcover, $22.95. 206 pages. ISBN: 0-8147-4014-9
Excerpt from the Prologue (pg. xviii): "I believe we have reached a fascinating, and predictably retrogressive, moment in American pop culture regarding class, gender, and race. As a member of the Hip-Hop Generation, I am continually intrigued by the ways in which hip-hop sets the tone for how women, myself included, think and act...
This is not a book that chronicles rap lyrics and sexism. That line of inquiry has been vigorously pursued and will continue to be a touchstone for dialogue about hip-hop generation men and misogyny… Rather Pimps Up, Ho's Down aims to cast the net wider and deeper…
The book addresses the male-dominated culture of hip-hop and the various ways in which young black women connect with that culture… I recognize that the madness visited upon Hip-Hop Generation black women comes as much from their own communities as from without.
Sexual vilence, sexism, beat-downs, sexual dishonesty, anti-lesbianism, and the legacy of color prejudice all hammer away at self esteem… This book attempts to explicate where hip-hop culture contributes to these distinctly female difficulties.�

Texas fishing, hunting report
There are many opportunities that are now taking place for both hunters and fishermen. Teal season will end this Sunday, Sept. 30, but dove season is open in both the central and south zones. The archery whitetail season opens annually on Oct. 1, followed closely by the regular waterfowl season and the regular deer seasons.
The early part of the early teal season proved to be excellent for most of hunters. When the season opened, there were swarms of bluewings hereabouts. Whenever the first cool front moved through, many of the birds moved on further south. According to Shane Chesson, chief guide for the Drake Plantation Outfitters, there are still some birds here but not as many as there were earlier. The four-bird-per-hunter limit is continuing to be reached, but it is taking a little longer to finish out. That's normal. The teal are only stopping in our area for a short time, anyway.
It has always amazed me how the bluewing teal could be the first ducks to migrate into our area in late August after being the last ones to come back through here. Many times there are still bluewings hereabouts into late February and early March. Yet they make it to their nesting area, raise their duckling to flying age and return by late August.
The dove hunters had some great shooting when the South Zone opened. The action was hot and heavy in most areas especially south of Winnie in the fields between Highway 124 and Anahuac. After the opening couple of days, the birds moved to other locations. That's why it could be an advantage to hunt with an outfitter. These folks will have several places to take hunters that are holding doves. In fact, some outfitters offer morning duck hunts and afternoon dove hunts.
I talked to Judy Brooks, owner of the Winkle Ranch near Llano, about what hunters could expect in that part of the Hill Country. Since last year's drought, there has been ample rainfall for the growing of the green plants that the deer thrive on. The ranchers have rounding up cattle and observing the wildlife at the same time. The deer, according to Brooks, seem to be in really good shape after last year's tough summer. Archers should do well now, and the regular season will likely be well above average. The fall and winter deer conditions always depend upon the rainfall.
There are ample Rio Grande turkeys. They seem to have had a good nesting with good survival rates. Some of the hens have several of this year's hatchlings with them. As always, the feral hogs are still around in good numbers. There are, if anything, more of them than ever. Many hunters are now preferring the feral hogs to the deer.
I would hope that most of the deer hunters have already made their plans. If not, there are some good opportunities later in the season during colder weather. By the way, Brooks said there is only a fair acorn crop in their area.
On the fishing scene, we are into the most productive time of year for most anglers. According to pro guide Will Kirkpatrick, the Rayburn action has been super for black bass. First thing in the mornings and before dark, topwaters are king. At other times, the crank baits and spinner lures do well. The watermelon-colored plastic worms or lizards have also been taking bass.
There is some other great saltwater action taking place. As is normal this time of year, Lake Sabine, East Bay and Big Lake in Louisiana are yielding super catches of speckled trout and redfish. There is lots of seagull activity in all of the areas. Even redfish are surfacing chasing shrimp.
Carey and Curtis Cuccia of Nederland helped Ryan Broussard try out his new boat. They headed just off the Louisiana beach to land a hefty catch of tripletails. They went specifically for the tripletails and they scored well.

And so Bitmob's analysis of online reaction to the big three E3 keynotes draws to a close, with a look at how a select group of people felt about Sony's big announcements.
To recap: Bitmob writer Andrew Hiscock sat down in hardcore gaming board NeoGAF last week and followed the user's reactions to the big E3 press conference announcements. Every positive or negative comment was noted, and the relative buzz then collated and placed into this snazzy graph.
You can read the Nintendo and Microsoft ones here and here.
The Sony one is interesting because the company's biggest reveal - its motion controller - drew the most scorn, while Final Fantasy XIV seemed to excite the crap out of people (at least, it did until they found out it was an MMO).

text: "The Paris shooting event on the eve of the French election had various telltale signs pointing to its contrivance and staging. The event was widely distributed by the mainstream media whores. That 'over-kill' practice often is a prominent sign of staging. The event also took place just prior Sunday's French political election. Staged events have specific propaganda motives for their pre-planned public 'appearances.' One does not have to be a Sherlock Holmes to figure-out crimes against peace. The simple logical (reasonable) practice of 'connecting the dots' is often adequate in determining staged false flag events (aka, false realities, hoaxes, psyops)……………."

Does not walk gently
By Beastly Titan on Thursday, November 16, 2017If you are looking for an exceptionally comfortable truck that can tote and tow this is certainly a great one to consider. I was sold primarily on the solid construction and sheer comfort. the interior materials feel high quality and are a pleasant step away from the constant plastic of other vehicles. I can easily fit 3 full sized adults in the back seat with no complaints. The seats offer a folding option that lets them disappear and a flat loading deck remains. This is great for cargo that needs some climate control. There is also plenty of storage including lockable storage in the cabin and in the bed. The infotainment is a disappointment that Im hoping Nissan will improve with simple software updates. For a vehicle of this price with an upgraded stereo this one feels like an afterthought and I should have been more critical of this on the lot before I bought it. The steering wheel controls seem dated and random. The power out of the engine is strong and it will move this beast quickly and confidently. The visibility is outstanding, and the mirrors are large. Fuel economy is in keeping with the sticker, but that isnt the reason to buy this vehicle.

sports car pickup truck
By Mr Crit on Tuesday, June 25, 2019purchased the 2017 Titan mainly for its 100,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. I think today's pickup trucks are all very good and the only way to tell the differences is to drive them all back to back (not likely). I bought a new Titan crew cab SE in 2004, 13 years and 249,000 trouble free miles later I gave it to my youngest son and after a few months he decided to buy a 2018 Titan crew cab and loves it. My 2017 PRO4X Titan, with every available option, is very quiet, rides nicely and handles like a sports car. Other than a few tenths of a second, fraction of a inch here and there, there is very little difference between the brands...except in this case, the warranty is far and away the best...100,000 miles bumper to bumper ! In this case the difference IS the distinction.

Love this truck
By mac33182 on Thursday, July 11, 2019Love driving this truck. Could use a little better gas mileage, but I get 19-20 driving around my little town with 2wd. Great family truck, lots of room, and quiet on the road. Been extremely dependable for me. Will definitely consider buying another - eventually.

Congratulations on the new job. I think the key is to not sober up between parties, that way you can keep the hangover at bay. And once the hangover kicks in, it could be a good idea to send Baby Sunshine somewhere out of ear shot.

Good luck, hope to hear about a new range of strange characters and situations. So what if you didn't drink? All you can eat BBQ meat?
My bro worked for a US company for a bit, and he said that they were so obsessed with only spending money on things which directly benefited the company they wouldn't pay for a company xmas party. And the company makes billions of dollars a year. They didn't want to spend a few thousand on employee training, and this where their employees are well paid, well motivated and well educated. He left after 6 months.

Aimless - I think there's crappy companies from every nation out there. The one your brother joined seemed really stingy, this one is a major one and I expect it to be quite normal. Besides, they all have to adapt to Japanese business standards
Martin - But on the other side was WONDER WOMAN?! Isn't she worth more than a blonde?
Jeffrey - Haha, I'm out since long ago, living in the countryside of Chiba now (check the "buying a house" series)
Will - Yep, keep those liver transplants coming!
Fernando - Best of luck getting a new and better job. I will miss Cpt. Awkward though, I've known him for many years now and have developed some affection for him
BiJ - No, longer hours, similar pay and all that but more room to grow (organizationally and profesisonally), time to do something new

|Phase 1 Phase 2
Children with anxiety disorders are often characterized by an unmet need for treatment however, in special populations such as Latino and rural youth, such disparities are compounded by the effects of culture and geographic isolation. More specifically, barriers related to language, stigma, and access often lead to lower rates of utilization and poorer outcomes among children in need of mental health services (Alvidrez and Azocar, 1999; McCabe et al., 2002; Myers et al., 2008; Vega et al., 2001). These findings are disappointing given abundant data supporting the effectiveness of cognitive behavior and behavior therapies for children with anxiety disorders (Barrett et al., 1996; Beidel et al., 2007; Kendall & Southam-Gerow, 1996; Walkup et al., 2008). Efforts to examine feasible methods to deliver evidence-based treatments to children with anxiety disorders are critical in order to extend quality care to underserved groups. The goal of this R34 is to address these disparities, by translating and tailoring an existing child anxiety cognitive behavior therapy program (The Cool Kids Outreach Program; Lyneham and Rapee, 2006), to fit the needs of Spanish-speaking rural families and examining the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability and safety of implementing this intervention using varying modes of delivery.
A pilot study for children (age 8-13) with anxiety disorders (i.e., separation anxiety disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias) will be conducted and 40 children will be randomized to two service delivery modes which represent varying levels of therapist contact: 1) 20 families will be randomized to a telephone-based, therapist-supported CBT program, and; 2) 20 families will be randomized to a more minimal contact bibliotherapy condition (primarily CBT self-help materials). All families will be recruited from primary care settings, given its defacto mental health service status. Feasibility and clinical outcomes will be measured at baseline, midtreatment and post-treatment. Additionally, during exit interviews, participants (as well as those who may have dropped out of the program) will be asked to discuss the perceived usefulness, acceptability, and impact of the intervention. This pilot study will provide important data regarding the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability and safety of the intervention conditions as well as the opportunity to pilot procedures that will be used in a larger effectiveness trial with rural Latino youth.

Experimental: Child Anxiety Program by Telephone
The child anxiety program by telephone is an adaptation of Ron Rapee's Cool Kids Outreach Program (Lyneham and Rapee, 2006) for child anxiety, with appropriate adaptations made to meet the needs of rural Latino families (including a Spanish translation). This is a parent mediated program, where parents are taught how all the skills of cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) and how to apply these skills to these children's anxieties. Children are also expected to participate, however all direct contact that a therapist may have, is with the parent only.
Behavioral: Therapist-Assisted by Telephone
Parents will receive educational workbooks and ongoing support over the phone from a child anxiety specialist to learn how to use cognitive behavioral therapy skills to manage their children's fears and worries.
Experimental: Child Anxiety Program- Self Help
Families randomized to the Self-Help CBT condition will receive program materials along with instructions for completing weekly assignments. Specifically, they will receive the same materials as families in the telephone-based condition however in the self-help group, parents and children are expected to read the materials for that week and complete the workbook activities without planned therapist involvement. Instead they will be given the option to initiate a telephone call to the therapist, if they have questions or need extra support.
Behavioral: Self-Help
Parents will receive educational workbooks to learn how to use cognitive behavioral therapy skills to manage their children's fears and worries independently. Parents will have the option to access support over the phone from a child anxiety specialist.
- Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire [ Time Frame: Pre-treatment and Post-treatment (maximum of 6 months after randomization) ]
The aim of this pilot study is to understand issues of feasibility rather than formal hypothesis testing.
The construct of acceptability will be evaluated by parents' reports on Consumer Satisfaction Questionnaire (March et al., 1999). Overall mean scores reflecting at least "above average" ratings (5 or greater on Consumer Satisfaction) will be considered acceptable.
- Barriers to Treatment Participation Scale [ Time Frame: Pretreatment & Posttreatment (maximum of 6 months after randomization) ]Overall feasibility will be defined as the ability to complete the study procedures and goals in the proposed time frame. Further the feasibility of the program will be evaluated by participants' report on the Barriers to Treatment Participation Scale (Kazdin et al., 1997); overall mean scores reflecting that "barriers" were "never a problem, occasionally a problem or sometimes a problem" will be considered acceptable.

DirtTotem necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 49 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Dirt Totem Productions
Dirt Totem Productions is a film and television production company primarily focused on the web series market. Our first series was The Sanctum, which can be found on http://www.koldcast.tv/#/show:the_sanctum - it's a dark, edgy series about superheroes with drug addictions. Our second series will be coming out this fall, and it's about a post-apocolyptic future AFTER the zombie hordes have been tamed. It's as dark as the Sanctum, but it also has episodes that are pure comedy.
Not all of our series will be sci-fi/fantasy oriented, however - we have a comedy series in pre-production that takes place in a modern day baseball stadium, in the comedy vein of Scrubs. We also have a few animated ideas we might like to try out in the next couple of years, so we will want the logo to be broad enough to cover a wide range of different story ideas.
The company name comes from a description of our founder, who was told "you're so grounded, it's like your Indian totem is dirt," but we DO NOT want a totem pole or any Indian/Native American themes. We're looking for something that expresses the fundamental nature of dirt, how creativity grows out of a grounded place like plants grow out of dirt.
Our target audience is everyone, but especially ages 16-50, all ethicities, and as our series are on the web, all countries. Each show will have a different demographic, obviously, but as a company we'd like to have them all fit comfortably under our wings....
In the future, we will very likely move into the television and film markets. Those markets have a longer history and therefore the logo needs to be robust enough to attach itself to an Academy-award nominated film. We should be so lucky.
Our previous logo was a seedling growing out of rich, loamy soil. While it was lovely, it made us look like a seed catalog.
Our website (which we will run a new contest for in a few months), will have a background of dark dirt with little hidden prizes in it, like colorful tin toys from the 1920's, foreign coins, laser guns... little pockets of awesome in the soil. The logo should complement that idea, without looking like a seed catalog.
While we don't want to put any barriers to creativity, we would be surprised if a cartoon-style logo was the winner - it might be better not to waste your time in that direction.
We want "Dirt Totem" to be a part of the logo, but it's up to you whether "Productions" is or not.
We need a vector-based image as well as a .psd image.
We need a black and white version of the image as well as a color version.
We are not looking for an animated logo, but the logo will most likely be animated in the future, so something with an intrisic need to change or move would be helpful, though not necessary (i.e. balloons rise, apples grow and rot, trees rustle in the breeze, balls bounce - although none of those are meant to be suggestions for the logo, just an idea of what we mean by intrinsic movement).
And again, NO TOTEM POLES.
We will be looking at the logo entries daily and providing commentary regularly. Good luck!

LONDON (Reuters) - GlaxoSmithKline has appointed one of its top European executives as the new head of operations in China, amid a corruption scandal there that has rocked Britain's biggest drug maker.
Herve Gisserot, senior vice president for Europe, will take over as general manager from Mark Reilly, who will remain with the company as a senior member of the management team, a spokesman said on Thursday.
Reilly, currently in Britain, will continue to help lead GSK's response to the Chinese government's bribery investigation - but the spokesman declined to say whether he would travel back to China.
Reilly has been working at GSK's headquarters on the outskirts of London since arriving from China in early July for what people familiar with the situation said at the time were routine meetings.
"From what we understand and have been told by the authorities there are no allegations of wrongdoing against Mark (Reilly)," the spokesman said.
Gisserot will transition over the coming weeks into his new role, where his prime focus will be to ensure that GSK's China business continues to operate as smoothly as possible.
At the same time, travel restrictions on GSK's finance head for China, Steve Nechelput, which had prevented him from leaving the country, are believed to have been lifted, the spokesman added.
Nechelput will continue in his role as finance director for GSK China and will remain based there. News last week that Nechelput had been stopped from leaving China sparked concern about the scale of the probe facing GSK, although GSK said he had not been questioned or detained by authorities.
Chinese police have detained four Chinese GSK executives in connection with allegations that the drug maker funneled up to 3 billion yuan ($489 million) to travel agencies to facilitate bribes to doctors and officials.
GSK has admitted that some Chinese executives appeared to have broken the law but Chief Executive Andrew Witty said on Wednesday that head office had had no knowledge of the alleged wrongdoing.
Witty said the "deeply disappointing" episode appeared to involve certain senior local staff working outside GSK systems. He has commissioned law firm Ropes & Gray to carry out an independent review into what happened.
In addition to running much of Europe for GSK, new China head Gisserot has also acted as president of the French pharmaceutical industry trade body LEEM, a position the group said he would give up at the end of August.

Aussies queered the pitch of England in WACA
Anxious and nervous England require further 310 runs to save their dominance in Ashes, they have already missed their match winning batsmen, without any resistance. Australian bowlers and their batsmen were on the same page of England's devastation. Michael Hussey's outstanding 116 runs gave a winning platform to his team, Hussey produced a remarkable stand of 113 runs with his another star Shane Watson, despite Watson missed his wicket just 5 runs short of his century, his 95 runs was the factor, Australia in the winning mode. It was the great display of vigorous bating skills from both these players, which was responsible, visitors are now in completely tatters. Australia gave final milestone of 391 runs to England in third session of third day of third battle.

In the past few months I had fallen victim to dining out ennui, meaning I often ended up at Sichuan restaurants or something within a 2-block radius of my apartment. So one night, following the recommendation of my friend Sandra, Jacob and I took a 20-minute cab ride to Qin Tang Fu, a restaurant specializing in Shaanxi cuisine.
What most intrigued me about this spot, other than the decor of all low kiddie-sized tables and chairs, was the Shaanxi rice wine. It was slightly sweet, almost non-alcoholic, and immensely more drinkable than the stronger rice wines I've tasted. (Obvious disclaimer: I am not a fan of Chinese rice wine.) It reminded me somewhat of horchata, or makgeolli, though Sandra puts describes it best on her website as "a grown-up's version of soybean milk."
Most people who have experienced street food in Beijing, Shanghai, or Xi'an will recognize roujiamo, a Shaanxi specialty consisting of a pita-like bun filled with fatty pork and shredded vegetables. The version at Qin Tang Fu is much bigger than street versions, and contains no chili sauce. In the front window, however, you can watch the cooks knead the buns and bake them on a coal-heated drum.
Shaanxi food is also known for its liberal use of vinegar and garlic. Chewy hand-pulled noodles and wide flat spinach noodles both come doused with vinegar, garlic, and optional chili sauce. Vegetables are frequently doused with vinegar and garlic. (Note to anyone contemplating this place for a first date: NO.) The favorite dish of the night was a star anise braised chicken dish that, although much uglier than in the picture menu, was so tender and juicy neither of us cared.
Flash forward to two weeks later, the morning of our departure to San Francisco. We had just dropped off some kitchenware at my cooking school and had time for a quick last Chinese meal before the long flight. We were surrounded by Sichuan restaurants but nothing jumped out. Stacey, who co-owns The Hutong, suggested a Guangxi restaurant across the street.
The rustic charm of the interior once again sucked me in. Not only were there cute wooden chairs and traditional flowery costumes decorating the walls, but the waitstaff changed the music from Snoop Dogg to Chinese folk music while we were eating. Ah, the power of quaintness.
(Guangxi is the province to the west of Guangdong, a.k.a. Canton, and has cuisine that also emphasizes light, non-spicy sauces.)
Our pork-stuffed fried tofu puffs came with a mild chili garlic sauce. There was also a stir-fried pork and snowpea dish that was a less fatty version of twice-cooked pork. And the Cantonese side of me came out when I insisted on a big vat of chicken feet and mushroom soup. (Or maybe it the side of me that was freezing from the 19 degree Fahrenheit temperatures outside.)
I drank the soup and took a few bites of the chicken feet, thinking both of my childhood love of sugary dim sum claws (fong zhao) and, later, an acquired Western aversion to the stuff. The soup was wonderful and warming, but also made us wonder...would war break out if the rest of the world stopped exporting all its chicken feet to this country?

Everyone is familiar with tree controls: every time you open Windows Explorer, you see file system hierarchy as a tree. Another kind of tree is used by some programs, such as installers, to allow you to select options to install. When all options of a particular subtree are selected, you will see checkbox with a check mark (); when no options in a subtree are selected, the checkbox next to the subtree root displays an unchecked checkbox (); and when only some of the options in a subtree are selected, you will see what is known as tri-state checkbox ().
Surprisingly, there is no direct support for tri-state checkboxes in MFC's CTreeCtrl. The closest you can get is to create a tri-state image list for your tree. While this will work, it does not give you the complete visual effect of XP themed checkboxes, such as hot-state appearance () when the mouse is hovering.
While I was researching tree controls and how to add tri-state checkboxes, I came to understand that the tree control - like the list control - can be enhanced with many useful features and nice UI effects by mechanism of custom draw. This led me to take next step: adding HTML support to tree items. It was easy to see how this would be possible, since I had just completed my XHtmlDraw article.
Before long I sketched out requirements of my new tree control:
Of course, Smart Checkboxes are optional - you can have checkboxes without using Smart Checkboxes.
To begin with, let me show you the demo app:
This dialog allows you to choose source of data for tree. It can be text file or XML file (files are stored as resources, see my XResFile article for details). There are two choices for each file type - one is complete list, the second is partial list with ten items in each main node, to make debugging easy.
When you click on button, here is what you see:
Here are main features:
To refresh list, just click button again.
This dialog uses built-in CXHtmlTree::FindItem() function to search for item text. An option on dialog lets you checkmark all matching items, which you can observe using Show Checked dialog.
Note that background color will be set as background of the entire tree control (via SetBkColor()). However, individual items can have their backgrounds set independently of this, either by using SetItemTextBkColor(), or by using HTML:
To see full list of supported HTML tags, including how to use web links and APP: links, please refer to my XHtmlDraw article.
The following functions support item and tree colors and text attributes:
You can enable checkboxes for tree (using SetHasCheckBoxes()) independently of enabling Smart Checkboxes (using SetSmartCheckBox()). When checkboxes are enabled, an internal state image list is created for various checkbox states. This creation is performed in CreateCheckboxImageList() (see CreateCheckboxImageList.cpp). For each possible state, a bitmap is created (using David Zhao's excellent CVisualStylesXP class), for both cold and hot states. Obviously this implies modal processing, but since I can use CTreeCtrl::SetItemState(), keeping track of item state is not too complicated. Furthermore, I have designed image list so that common state transitions are simple. In following table, you can see that going from "cold" state to "hot" state involves OR'ing with 8, and going from "normal" state to "disabled" state involves OR'ing with 4.
Here are functions implemented to support XHtmlTree checkboxes:
XHtmlTree supports standard Windows keyboard navigation techniques:
Here are functions implemented to support XHtmlTree navigation:
It is easy to initialize XHtmlTree in one statement:
m_Tree.Initialize(m_bCheckBoxes, TRUE)
XHtmlTree supports standard tooltips via CToolTipCtrl, and also supports HTML tooltips, displayed with Eugene Pustovoyt's excellent CPPToolTip class. Here is example of how HTML tooltips can be used:
Here is HTML used for this tooltip:
This is all standard HTML, except for the <bmp idres=133 cx=110 cy=92 mask>, which specifies bitmap to be read from resource id 133.
OK, so where is HTML coming from, since it is obviously not the item text? XHtmlTree provides a new SetItemNote() function, which attaches optional note text to an item. The note text (when it exists) is used instead of item text for tooltips. This is true for both standard tooltips and HTML tooltips. However, keep in mind that standard tooltips have hard limit of 80 characters.
#define XHTMLTOOLTIPS
If you include HTML tooltips, you must include additional files in your project - see How To Use section below for details.
One final point about tooltips: you have option of dynamically changing a tooltip when it is about to be displayed. A notification message (WM_XHTMLTREE_DISPLAY_TOOLTIP - see Notification Messages below) gives you chance to use SetItemNote() right before tooltip is displayed. To give example, in XHtmlTreeTestDlg.cpp, you will see this code (condensed here):
LRESULT CXHtmlTreeTestDlg::OnDisplayTreeToolTip(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM)
XHTMLTREEMSGDATA *pData = (XHTMLTREEMSGDATA *)wParam;
HTREEITEM hItem = pData->hItem;
CString strText = m_Tree.GetItemText(hItem);
// check if this is 'Galgo Español (Spanish Greyhound)'
if (_tcsncmp(strText, _T("Galgo"), 5) == 0)
// set new note for this item --
// zero tip width will use default width
_T("This is alternate text. ")
_T("For standard tooltip, it is limited to 80 characters."),
return 0; // return 0 to allow tooltip to be displayed,
// 1 to prevent display
In the demo app, this is what you will see:
For all notification messages, the wParam parameter is pointer to XHTMLTREEMSGDATA struct:
struct XHTMLTREEMSGDATA
HWND hCtrl; // hwnd of XHtmlTree
UINT nCtrlId; // id of XHtmlTree
HTREEITEM hItem; // current item
The lParam parameter depends on specific message. The following messages are sent to XHtmlTree parent:
Starting with version 1.4, XHtmlTree supports drag & drop. The following drag & drop facilities and operations are implemented:
#define XHTMLDRAGDROP
For all above messages, a pointer to XHTMLTREEDRAGMSGDATA struct is sent as lParam parameter (this might be NULL in the case of WM_XHTMLTREE_END_DRAG message).
struct XHTMLTREEDRAGMSGDATA
HTREEITEM hItem; // item being dragged
HTREEITEM hNewParent; // proposed new parent
HTREEITEM hAfter; // drop target - item being dragged will
// either sequentially follow this item,
// or hAfter specifies the relationship
// (TVI_FIRST, TVI_LAST, etc.) the
// dragged item will have with hNewParent.
// Note that TVI_xxxx constants are all
// defined as 0xFFFFnnnn, with the 16
// high-order bits set.
BOOL bCopyDrag; // TRUE = dropped item will be copied;
// FALSE = dropped item will be moved
The application may respond to these messages with either FALSE (indicating that proposed action may continue), or TRUE, indicating that proposed action is not permitted. When sent in response to WM_XHTMLTREE_BEGIN_DRAG and WM_XHTMLTREE_END_DRAG messages, a return code of TRUE will terminate drag. When sent in response to WM_XHTMLTREE_DROP_HOVER message, a return code of TRUE will cause the no-drop cursor to be displayed.
Since the default return code - in the absence of a message handler - is 0 or FALSE, it is not necessary to implement handlers for any of these messages in order to enable drag & drop.
To try out separators yourself, you can use right-click menu in demo app:
The following separator facilities and operations are implemented:
To integrate XHtmlTree into your own app, you first need to add following files to your project:
Files marked with † must be set in Visual Studio to Not Using Precompiled headers.
If you want to use HTML tooltips, then you must also include these files:
And finally, if you want to include XML functions, then you must include these two files:
Then declare variable for CTreeCtrl object, and change its type to CXHtmlTree:
CXHtmlTree m_Tree;
Now you are ready to use CXHtmlTree in your project.
There are three compile-time options that control what XHtmlTree features are included. These options may be selected by editing XHtmlTree.h, by including them as #define statements (for example, in stdafx.h), or by defining them via IDE (in VS2005, go to Project | Properties | Configuration Properties | C/C++ | Preprocessor | Preprocessor Definitions; be sure to do this for All Configurations).
The following table shows what source modules need to be included for each compile-time option (including the case where no options are selected, which is what is used in MinDialog demo):
The files needed for drag & drop (XHTMLDRAGDROP) are the same ones listed under None.
Here are attribute names expected by LoadXmlFromXXXX functions:
You can load XML from a resource, a file, or a memory buffer, and you can save XML to a file.
Here are functions implemented to support XML:
Here are links I have mentioned in this article. I have also included links to my articles on CodeProject, which I have used in demo app.

HTREEITEM hRoot = GetRootItem();
while (hRoot != NULL)
SetCheck(hRoot, bCheck); // Check the parent node!!
// Get next root node
hRoot = GetNextItem(hRoot, TVGN_NEXT);
It sounds as if there is a redundant call to PreSubclassWindow(). First, though just make certain that your PreSubclassWindow() method looks something like this:
void CHyperButtonEx::PreSubclassWindow()
ModifyStyle(0, BS_OWNERDRAW); // make the button owner drawn
//create the tooltip
m_ToolTip.UpdateTipText(_T("Click Here!"), this); //default tooltip if one not set
Now this code is from a button class I wrote a couple years ago, so yours may need to call CTreeCtrl::PreSubclassWindow() instead, but everything else should be the same.
If your code looks OK and you still have the problem, then check your DoDataExchange (DDX) Map at the top of your CPP file. If there is a map entry for your tree control (ie. DDX_Control(pDX, IDC_XTREE_SOMETHING, m_myTreeControl)), comment out this line (add // to the beginning of the line) and this may solve your problem. I have found DDX to cause the redundant call to PreSubclassWindow() problem with other objects (CBitmap buttons using AutoLoad, etc...)

Isolate the mRNA transcriptome in 15 minutes with Dynabeads mRNA Direct Kits
15 minute mRNA isolation protocols are made possible by magnetic Dynabeads coupled with Oligo(dT)25. Dynabeads mRNA isolation beads specifically capture mRNA molecules from virtually any crude lysate. Magnetic bead handling and consistent results makes Dynabeads mRNA Direct Kits the best choice for automated mRNA Isolation.
There is no need to isolate Total RNA when the desired molecule is mRNA
Only 1–5% of the Total RNA content of cells is actually mRNA. Dynabeads mRNA purification kits and technologies target only the mRNA molecules and pull them directly out of solution. Compare this to Total RNA purification methods where up to 80% of the RNA yield is ribosomal RNA. Dynabeads mRNA purification kits isolate the mRNA Transcriptome you need free of contaminating ribosomal RNA, tRNA, miRNA, siRNA, non-Poly-A RNA and pre-processed RNA.
Cited in over 5,000 publications
Dynabeads mRNA purification methods have been proven to be extremely versatile, sensitive and consistently reliable. Dynabeads mRNA Direct Kits capture just the transcriptome and are the preferred choice upstream of all applications that depend on the robust and sensitive isolation of extremely pure mRNA.
Whether you are isolating the mRNA Transcriptome for Next Generation Sequencing or simply interested in mRNA isolation for cDNA synthesis and cloning, the Dynabeads mRNA Direct Kits give you a representative, ultra-pure and highly reproducible window into the mRNA Transcriptome.

How direct mRNA Isolation using Dynabeads works
The method relies on A-T base pairing. Short sequences of oligo-dT are covalently bound to the surface of the Dynabeads and will hybridize to the polyA tail of mRNA, allowing simple and rapid magnetic isolation (15 minutes). RNase inhibition together with stringent hybridization and washing steps ensure the isolation of pure, intact mRNA from crude samples, without the use of strong chaotropic agents.
The protocol is sensitive, flexible and can easily be scaled up or down to suit specific sample sizes, even down to single cells. This allows the detection of mRNA by RT-PCR from highly specialized cells. The isolated mRNA can be eluted in very small volumes and is suitable for use in all molecular biology applications. It is not necessary to elute the target off the beads since they do not interfere with downstream enzymatic reactions. The bead-bound oligo-dT can serve as a primer for reverse transcription and synthesis of first-strand cDNA, allowing direct RT-PCR and the construction of solid-phase cDNA libraries.
The inherent benefits of magnetic handling allow for easy washing, separation and concentration of bead-bound material without any need for centrifugation or columns. The lack of magnetic remanence combined with the excellent dispersion abilities also meet the demands required for automated systems and microfluidics.
These Dynabeads are available as stand-alone beads and as part of mRNA isolation kits with buffers and solutions for easy mRNA transcriptome isolation.

'After a fairly lengthy beta test period, UK TV streaming service TVCatchup has graduated its Android app from beta, and launched it on the Google Play Store. The app, like the TVCatchup website, allows license fee-paying Brits to watch live online streams of many of the country's free-to-air TV channels -- currently over 50, the app claims. We've been using the app throughout its beta test phase, and we've found it to be just as reliable as the website.
Note that you'll need to be in the UK to download this app, and that it won't work if you're not on a UK ISP or mobile network. Also, if you want to stay on the right side of the law, you'll need to hold a TV license to view live broadcasts.
With that out of the way, Brits can head to the Google Play link above to download TVCatchup for Android. It's free and ad-supported, and you'll need a phone or tablet running at least Android 2.2.'

In a mobile phone, the analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) converts an analogue baseband signal to digital baseband. Because component size and power drain are important for phones, a single ADC might need to cover multiple frequencies and wireless standards (for example, GSM and Bluetooth). The ADC must consume as little power and chip area as possible and use as few components as possible. It must also be resistant to noise, nonlinearities, and manufacturing tolerances. These requirements combine to create difficult design challenges. We designed an ADC that meets these requirements by using noise shaping to reduce chip area and power consumption.
Speed of simulation is key to the success of a project involving a completely new design. To determine the impact of real-world effects and manufacturing tolerance on our design, we needed to run multiple parameter sweeps. To complete these in a reasonable time frame, we needed rapid system simulation, which is why we used system-level design with MATLAB and Simulink.
As a mixed-signal device, an ADC is vulnerable to circuit imperfections like noise, nonlinearity, and coupling mismatches. Because sigma-delta architectures are considered very robust against these imperfections, they are widely used in ADCs. The sigma-delta modulator shapes quantization noise and pushes it outside the bandwidth of interest, where it is removed by FIR filtering. The order of the sigma-delta determines the noise-shaping properties: the higher the order, the better the noise shaping. However, after the second order, these circuits become unstable and can go into oscillation under certain conditions. In practice, we use second-order sigma-delta modulators to get a stable system. Most second-order systems have two integrators in the circuit, each with its own amplifier. The amplifiers consume a lot of power and chip space. Our goal was to redesign the sigma-delta circuit so that it used just one integrator and one amplifier.
The ADC Architecture
We devised an architecture based on error feedback and noise shaping. Error feedback architectures have been used in digital-to-analogue conversion (DAC) and noise shaping for some time, but combining them into one circuit is novel.
We inserted DACs where necessary into this feedback architecture, and converted the architecture to an ADC structure. We inserted a first-order sigma-delta modulator in the loop that will requantise the noise introduced by the first quantiser. Once this quantization noise has been digitised, we can operate on it using noise-shaping DSP functions. Because so much of the processing now takes place digitally, this design can be tuned for different frequencies and bandwidths by changing the digital filter coefficients. The design has just one integrator, and therefore just one amplifier.
Investigating Noise, Manufacturing Tolerances, and Impairments
Although my team works primarily at the architectural level, our role includes making certain that designs work in the real world, which means that we have to simulate the effects of manufacturing tolerances, noise, and nonidealities. This circuit was to be manufactured using a 65 nm CMOS process optimised for digital circuits, which meant we had to simulate circuit imperfections introduced by the manufacturing process. For example, we wanted our quantiser to quantise uniformly, but we knew that, in practice, there would be some deviation from this ideal. Similarly, the DACs would have manufacturing imperfections that might affect overall system performance. We modeled noise and nonidealities such as thermal noise, 1/f noise, coupling effects, slew rate, and amplifier gain bandwidth limitations. Our system-level simulation work included all these impairments.
To investigate the interaction of all these factors, we ran Monte Carlo simulations in Simulink using parameter sweeps. We characterised the circuit with a series of Gaussian curves showing how different input parameters affected performance. We could then see how sensitive our design was to different factors and how much variation the design could withstand while remaining within our specification. For example, it might be able to withstand a 5% variation in one component but only a 1% or 2% variation in another. The magnitude of some circuit values was an issue, too. For example, a large capacitor in one of the DACs would be less affected by variations than a smaller capacitor. In addition to the technical requirements, we had manufacturing yield goals that related to profitability—for a given price point, we knew we would have to attain a certain manufacturing yield, which meant that our circuit model had to be resistant to certain levels of manufacturing tolerance.
We had to consider how these variations affected noise shaping. For example, a circuit mismatch might lead to an unwanted third-order harmonic, which would lead to our noise shaping circuit placing noise within our signal spectrum.
Monte Carlo simulations are computationally expensive and time-consuming, but they are absolutely essential to determining whether a design is feasible. The need to run these studies determined our choice of design tools. SPICE simulations are accurate but take a long time to run, making parameter sweep–based simulations prohibitively time-consuming. Simulink runs much faster than SPICE, meaning we can get answers back very quickly and iterate our design. With SPICE, we would have to choose the first design that worked. With Simulink, we can choose the best design.
Our final Simulink design gave us the performance we wanted and was robust to manufacturing tolerances. The quantization noise as output by our model is shaped as we wanted.
Using the Simulink Model as an Executable Specification
Our Simulink model acted as an executable specification for the next stage of our design for both analogue and digital designers. The analogue designers used the Simulink model to guide their SPICE development. The model clearly and unambiguously showed the behavior we wanted to achieve. The designers used it to gauge the effect of different analogue circuit choices on overall system performance. For example, if their design had a certain mismatch, they ran the Simulink model with this mismatch to check that the system as a whole stayed within its specification.
From the beginning, we were careful to build our Simulink model so that it would translate easily to VHDL code. For example, we built the FIR filters in Simulink using only delay elements, gain coefficients, and adders. Our Simulink model mapped cleanly to a fixed-point RTL representation: Our digital designer was able to look at the Simulink model and quickly write the VHDL code to match. The goal, of course, was to reduce the scope for errors. We verified our design by comparing the outputs of the VHDL code and the Simulink model, and checking whether the VHDL code was bit-accurate to the Simulink model.
Results and Next Steps
To verify our design, we produced a number of test chips. Lab results agreed with our simulations, showing that our ADC design actually worked. Because of the novel nature of our design, we applied for and were granted a patent on the technology.
Because our system-level design approach rapidly gave us results for this project, we used the same design methodology on subsequent projects.

Surprising Uses for Common Household Items
Olive oil and coconut oil may be great for cooking, but it's their uses outside of the kitchen that will really help you stretch your dollar. With just a few drops, you can remove eye makeup, fix a stuck zipper, or silence squeaky hinges. You won't have to buy pricey makeup remover or greasy spray ever again.
And before you recycle those old newspapers, try crumpling them up and putting them in your travel bags for a few weeks to eliminate any stale, musty odors. This works for other smelly containers, too. Simply change out the paper every week or so until the odor disappears.
Lastly, Alka-Seltzer can do more than just relieve your heartburn. You can also use it to clean stubborn stains on your cookware. Simply soak your pots and pans in hot water, drop in five tablets, and after one hour any burnt-on food will come right off.
Put these tips to good use, and you'll be able to keep your home eco-friendly and budget-friendly, as well.

This apartment is situated on this new resort in Kapparis just minutes from the sandy beaches and coves. An added benefit to this property is satellite TV.
Communal pool, childrens pool and parasols.
About the area
Varvara Gardens is located in the Famagusta district on the Eastern side of Cyprus. The coastline boasts some of the best sandy beaches with its shallow, clear, turquoise blue waters and white powdered sand offering a range of popular family resorts, quiet coves, bars, clubs and restaurants.
The Famagusta District
Paralimni (2 minutes drive) is the largest town in the area with at least two large supermarkets and many shops, both modern and traditional. Two beautiful churches sit in the main square, where you can also sit and enjoy a leisurely drink watching the world (and the locals) go by.
Pernera/Protaras (10 minutes drive) are another two local resorts well worth a visit - it has all the usual commercial resort amenities including 'Fig Tree Bay' and beach.
Larnaca (45 minutes drive) is also worth a visit in its own right - it boasts a palm-lined seafront and Marina bustling with cafes, tavernas, shops and bars. There is also a scenic fortress castle, now used as the town's summer cultural centre. Larnaca's main shopping area is Zenon Kitieos Street, a typically busy road of small shops, with a colourful fruit and vegetable market at the far end.
Nicosia (75 minutes drive) is the capital of Cyprus and straddles Southern and Northern Cyprus - a beautiful modern city with an ancient town wall - take your passport and you are able to enter to the Northern side of the city where you will be able to truly appreciate the difference in each part's development in the last 35 years.
Cape Greco (10 minutes drive), the eastern-most point of Southern Cyprus, is a protected National Park with stunning scenery which offers such tremendous peace and tranquillity that seems a million miles away from the resorts. It is a place also popular with divers.
There are several Greek villages in the area all worthy of a visit to get a glimpse of traditional Greek Cyprus.
If you don't want to bother with a hire car, there is a frequent bus service which operates between all of the above, there are also coach tours.
A pedestrianised coastal path lies along the entire length of the coast from Protaras, into Ayia Napa, past Nissi Bay and on towards Ayia Thekla - ideal for walkers and cyclists.
The Ayia Napa / Nissi Beach area.
Nissi Beach is located on the south-eastern tip of the sun-drenched island of Cyprus. This world famous horseshoe bay is known as one of Cyprus's most beautiful beaches (15 mins drive from the apartment). The sand is white and the crystal clear waters are calm and shallow, perfect for children to play in or adults to soak and relax. If you enjoy doing something a bit more energetic the amazing selection of water sports will keep you busy. There are numerous beach bars and restaurants to cater for everyone's tastes, from lively music to watching the perfect view.
Also here is one of Europe's biggest water parks.The park is packed with attractions for all ages. It is well worth spending a whole day here.
There is plenty to do in the evenings. The resort has many top quality restaurants with enclosed play areas, so you can enjoy a romantic meal while your children play in easy view. Most bars show sporting events and have evening entertainment, from live music to Karaoke - and the children will love the nearby fun parks.
The cosmopolitan resort of Ayia Napa is only 3km away (15 mins walk/3 mins taxi) Far enough for a good nights sleep but close enough for a little adventure. Although Ayia Napa is well known for its lively nights, it has become very family orientated and hosts a large number of amazing restaurants and chic bars.
The harbour at Ayia Napa is also within walking distance. Boat trips can be taken from here. It has it's own beautiful beach with some of the best fish restaurants nestled on the harbour overlooking the small, colourful, local fishing boats.
The beautiful Ayia Napa Monastery imposes over the town. It was here that the icon of the Virgin Mary was discovered and the cave turned into a site of worship for the locals.

The Fazoobs are four musical aliens from the Planet Koozebane who auditioned for a spot on The Muppet Show in episode 208.
The puppets used for the Fazoobs appeared in the background in a few first season episodes, including "Make a Song" with Avery Schreiber in episode 116, Ben Vereen's number, "Pure Imagination", in episode 117 and a few Fazoobs can briefly be seen cackling in the audience among the Muppet monsters in episode 119.
Cute, the trumpet fazoob, and Cannon[1] perform "Isn't This a Lovely Day" in episode 504.
After The Muppet Show, some of the Fazoob puppets appeared in other Muppet productions:
- The round, purple Fazoob with the green fin (seen in the right hand corner of the picture) also appeared during the opening of the first "Tales from the Vet" sketch on Muppets Tonight, on Mopatop's Shop, in the 1984 storybook Bo Saves the Show, and the wedding finale in The Muppets Take Manhattan.
- The yellow-headed Fazoob with a red body (seen at the left of the picture) appeared in the wedding finale of The Muppets Take Manhattan and as a producer on Muppets Tonight.
- Cute appeared in the wedding finale of The Muppets Take Manhattan, an episode of Mopatop's Shop and the opening theme for "The Ghost of Faffner Hall".
- All four Fazoobs appear as enemies in The Muppets Movie Adventures.
