I can only assume that Snuffed by the Yakuza's "Trippin" is a literal representation of what it would sound like walking into a hardcore show out of your mind with a head-full of windowpane. If you don't know what that is kiddos don't go checking it out, drugs are bad, fun to read about but very very bad for you. Now back to this song that I fully endorse that suggests that we all take hallucinogens.
"Trippin" is a really interesting combination of off kilter drumming, odd delays and a powerful blast of energy that keeps the whole rickety roller-coaster going to the end. This is a vibe that is rarely heard and even rarer to pull off with this much skill and ingenuity.

I don't generally approve of people making lists as a way to pass time, but I received an e-mail from a former classmate who hit up my youtube channel not long ago that read, in part, "your favorite movies are a mélange of effin' weird and... even more effin' weird." Such precise articulation deserves both repetition and response; here is my explanation, briefly, of why I adore those movies I call my favorites.
The Fall - Tarsem Singh, 2006
I saw The Fall with a friend of mine who has one of those silly celebrity specific crushes on Lee Pace. Generally speaking, when I watch movies with her, we provide running commentary for each other's amusement. Watching the film, we were both speechless. We walked out of the mostly vacant theater on a summer afternoon and turned to each other as if to say "that was the best movie of all time." Needless to say, my friend found other things to appreciate about The Fall besides Lee Pace.
I don't want to spoil any of the movie. To put it as simply as I know how: The Fall is a film about the stories we tell to ourselves and each other; about the power of imagination in the reality of the mind; about images and childhood and adulthood. It's held together by the relationship between Roy (Pace) and Alexandria (Catinca Untaru, devastatingly good for such a young actress). Roy tells Alexandria his story, and Alexandria's interpretations of Roy's fantasies are visualized for the audience. These fantasy sequences were filmed in eighteen countries, often in places that have never before been captured on film. Tarsem's inventiveness as a director, honed over years of commercial and music video direction, conspires with Colin Watkinson's cinematography to make the most beautiful of film art.
The critics who didn't like this film (many, if rotten tomatoes is anything to go by) didn't get it either. Some have compared him unfavorably to Parajanov, citing the extensively tableaux visuals that dominate their cinematographic styles. Some of that is true, but only to a point, and I point to a distinct critical laziness and an even more notable dearth of soul that fuels some of these critiques.
If I ever have literary ability up to the challenge, I'll try to properly critique this wonderful movie.
Green Snake - Tsui Hark, 1993
Perhaps less daunting to explain than The Fall, Green Snake was one of the first Hong Kong movies that I genuinely fell in love with. It certainly wasn't among the first that I had seen, mind you. I'd been watching Hong Kong genre flicks for years, mostly because I enjoyed the insane energy and bizarre, anything-goes approach of the film makers. I'd seen movies like Ebola Syndrome (Herman Yau, 1996) but had yet to really watch those Hong Kong movies that had what some snotty/stuffy people call... I don't know, merit, or something along those lines.
Green Snake didn't exactly change that per se, but it made me feel absolutely awful that I had bought it specifically to laugh about the bad special effects and Tsui Hark's idiosyncratic directorial methods. Somehow, the weirdness of Tsui's direction works incredibly well. Even the special effects and visual gimmicks that would have aged poorly if seen in a different film seem to only add to the otherworldly, noticeably artificial world the movie is set in. The cinematography relies in separate contexts on pastel lighting schemes, soft focus and saturated filtering for evocative, moody visuals. When my brother watched it, a particular scene's editing and shooting reminded him of something that might be shot by Donald Cammell circa Wild Side. Certain moments reminded me of Russ Meyer at his coyest and most fun. That's no small praise.
(a digression: I know that comparing Tsui to other film makers like that can be annoying, as it seems that it is the only way that anybody ever bothers to write about him or his films. At least give me credit, though, for not being one of those people on whose mouth the word "Godard" begins to form at first sight of a jump cut.)
Adapted by Lillian Lee (author of Farewell My Concubine, among others) from her own novelization of the Madame White Snake story, the film retells the old tale with sensuousness unusual for a film based on such a traditional story -- probably owing more to Lee's take on the story than Tsui's input as producer/director/co-writer. A few film makers have taken classic tales and tried to make them understandable to contemporary audiences, updating them without changing the setting or the story. This, along with Li Han Hsiang's 1981 Tiger Killer, are the best of these to have come from Hong Kong.
An eclectic score -- elegiac Hong Kong pop, Bollywood style Hindi music, and more expectantly, traditional Chinese music -- shows how much care went into this film compared to so many other Hong Kong films (Hong Kong's film industry was once notorious for thieving music from Hollywood productions). Maggie Cheung and Joey Wong both put in wonderfully uninhibited performances, and the special effects have a charming quality in their quaint request for the suspension of disbelief.
I've sang the praises of this movie without actually saying anything about it. That's because I think you should watch it instead of reading about it. The Tai Seng dvd is okay, but if you can get the Mei-Ah dvd, its better picture quality is worth the extra money.
Night of the Hunter - Charles Laughton, 1995
Everybody now loves this movie. It's most famous line is referenced everywhere from Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing to Bruce Springsteen's song "Cautious Man." It's up there among IMDb's top 250 films, albeit far below such cinematic perfection as Star Wars, Terminator 2, The Matrix and The Dark Knight. Congrats IMDb, on such peerless taste.
Nonetheless, Night of the Hunter was not well received at the time of its release, doing so poorly with both critics and audiences that Charles Laughton -- long respected as a consummate actor who took his roles on stage and on film quite seriously -- never tried his hand at directing film again. Robert Osbourne generally caps showings of Night of the Hunter on Turner Classic Movies by pointing out what a great loss this is, but I don't know that I agree. There's no way that anybody could top a movie like this one, and Laughton's career as a director will always be one of unequivocal success, even if retroactively rewarded success.
And the movie itself? It's a nightmare. Shot in expressionistic black and white, with highly stylized acting to accompany: attempts to understand this film in terms of psychological realism simply won't pan out so well. In fact, I think much of the fawning the film now receives comes more from the poseurs who are much too eager to seem "in the know" than they are to genuinely understand weird or unusual film texts. Certainly the weirdness of the biblical references, both the visual and narrative, might prove daunting to some, but one gets the impression that most didn't pick up on it. The carefully staged acting -- especially the freakish performance from Robert Mitchum -- is unsettling, and not at all in keeping with what audiences expected when it was released, nor anything like what contemporary audiences are accustomed to seeing from popular actors.
Night of the Hunter was a perfect storm; a once in a blue moon coalescing of talent, luck, and ill fortune. Genuinely, there's nothing else like it.
Bells from the Deep - Werner Herzog, 1995
Ugh, I should have started with this one. Herzog directs a documentary about faith and superstition in post-Soviet Russia. There's so many weird images of exorcisms, Jesus impersonators, Pilgrims roaming about on thin ice (source of one of the film's controversies), a lonely bell ringer and as many other strange expressions of faith that one could find, that I find myself more or less in awe of the strangeness of it all. Herzog directed other films about religion, but this is my favorite. It probably should have been Aguirre or Fitzcarldo or Heart of Glass that filled this slot, if I were going for cult movie nerd cred, but I can't lie. This movie speaks to me; I just don't know how to speak about it.
Anyways, there's some other movies I consider to be favorites. I think I have Satoshi Kon's Millenium Actress on that list, and possibly Wong Kar-Wai's Chungking Express or Ashes of Time. All spectacular movies, but if I were to pick only my absolute favorite movies -- the ones I would choose to preserve from nuclear apocalypse or take to that rhetorical desert island that must be quite populated with people who were asked to go there with things/people -- it's these four. Also, I hate lists. So I'm ending this one now.

Poppy Flowers
|Vincent van Gogh
|65 cm × 54 cm (26 in × 21 in)
Poppy Flowers (also known as Vase and Flowers and Vase with Viscaria) is a painting by Vincent van Gogh with an estimated value of $50 million[1] to $55 million;[2] it was stolen from Cairo's Mohammed Mahmoud Khalil Museum in August 2010 and is still yet to be found.[3]
Egyptian officials erroneously believed they had recovered the painting only hours after its theft when two Italian suspects attempted to board a plane to Italy at Cairo International Airport.[4] The same painting had been stolen from the same museum on June 4, 1977, and was recovered ten years later[5] in Kuwait.[6]
The painting is small, measuring 65 x 54 cm, and depicts yellow and red poppy flowers.[7] It is believed that van Gogh painted it in 1887, three years before his suicide.[5] The painting, which is of a vase of yellow and red poppies, contrasted against a dark ground is a reflection of Van Gogh's deep admiration for Adolphe Monticelli, an older painter whose work influenced him when first he saw it in Paris in 1886.[8]
Reaction to theft
In October 2010, an Egyptian court found 11 culture ministry employees, including Deputy Culture Minister Mohsen Shalan, guilty of negligence of their professional duties;[3] they were freed on bail of about $1,750.[3] Egyptian billionaire Naguib Sawiris put up a $175,000 reward for information leading to the painting.

#1: "It really is!"
**awkward silence…
Whether you are a first year student or in the final year of your Masters, we have all encountered a situation similar to this. No matter how many times we tell ourselves not to get sucked into chanting the redundant mantra of university introductions, we constantly find ourselves in situations where the above conversation ensues. We all know that classrooms are breeding grounds for awkward situations, so let me apologize in advance if this article stirs up cringe-worthy memories.
|Image courtesy of rookiemag.com
Memories like that time your prof…actually, all of your profs, said, "I want each person to tell the class what they are studying, their favourite food, and something interesting about themselves." Suddenly, you felt as though you were the most boring person in the world, and you racked your brain for something to say that wasn't too haughty but not too boring either. Panic ensued when the person right before you took your idea and said what you were going to say, forcing you to blurt out some lame last minute thought so that you don't look like a copycat.
As much as you probably dislike teacher-made icebreakers, you must realize that this is a professor's desperate attempt at saving you from having to strike up an awkward conversation on your own. What about the classes where everyone is too afraid to participate, and the professor's question is left hovering ominously in the air, like a dark cloud of awkwardness. Or that time the professor made a joke and only one student laughed, a little too loudly. Yikes! Just the thought of these situations makes me shudder. You may be asking, so Niabi, what exactly are you getting at? I am saying that us students need to burn our conversation guidebooks and shake the dust from our thinking caps because its time for us to become more original when it comes to chatting.
Here are some tips to help you shatter the ice and as a bonus, I've added a few questions to help stimulate more interesting discussions when meeting new classmates:
1) "Good" is Not Good Enough:
Remember, if someone asks you how you're doing, don't just say good. Say that you are doing fantastic, or incredible and then tell them WHY. The key is to keep the conversation going right? So avoid making finalized statements. Instead, give your fellow classmate a longer answer to a simple question so that they get some prompts as to what you can both talk about next.
2) "Nice Shirt":
Start with a positive compliment. Regardless of whom you are talking to, being open and nice to another person will almost always be received well, unless you're talking to the Grinch. One thing will lead to another until eventually you both have something to talk about. "Where did you get the shirt from?" / "I love that place I shop there all the time!" / "What does that logo mean?"/ "You love Star Wars?! I love Star Wars!" etc.
3) Be open to new conversation:
This is a very important thing to keep in mind. No one is going to introduce themselves to someone who has their headphones in, or their arms crossed protectively in front of them. If you want others to reach out to you, make yourself look friendly and approachable. Smile at other people; make space for classmates who are looking for a seat. Why not say "Hey this seat is empty, come sit with me!"
4) Names Can Be Topics Too:
This can be as simple as "Your name sounds so cool! Does it have a meaning? Where you named after someone?" Who knows where the conversation will go?
5) "Would You Rather...":
Everyone knows how to play "Would You Rather", and pretty much everyone enjoys it, ESPECIALLY when the categories are funny or really difficult. Here are a few suggestions: Would you rather…
- Go about your normal day naked or fall asleep for a year?
- Be a dragon or have a dragon?
- Live one 1000-year life or live ten 100-year lives?
- Have hiccups for the rest of your life or feel like you need to sneeze and not be able to for the rest of your life?
- Always have to say everything on your mind or never speak again?
- Be able to fly or be invisible?
- Be 3 feet shorter or 3 feet taller?
- Have one wish granted now or 3 wishes granted in ten years?
6) "What do you think about (insert controversial topic here)":
Asking for someone's opinion on something is a sure way to get them talking, and if its something you both share a passion for, it is guaranteed that you will have something to talk about. Keep in mind, however, that there will be people who have opinions different to yours, so try to keep the topics carefree and impersonal.
7) What Would You Do Situation:
The options for this conversation starter are endless. From "What would you do in a zombie apocalypse?" to "What would you do if this was your last day on Earth?"
8) Conversation Starter Questions:
Yes, I admit that some are cliché, but these questions will lead to answers that are much more interesting than "I'm in my second year."
- Where did you grow up?
- Do you have any pets?
- Do you have any siblings?
- What are you most proud of yourself for?
- What age do you normally get mistake for?
- What are your pet peeves?
- Do you have any weird/hidden talents?
- What is the most beautiful place you have travelled to?
- Where do you want to travel?
- What do you like to do in your spare time?
- Do you have any allergies?
- Do you have any bad habits?
- Are you part of any clubs at the U of A?
- Do you have any phobias?
- What are your goals for the future?
- Do you think there is life out there?
- What's your middle name?
- Do you speak any other languages?
- Do you have a job?
- What makes you really happy?
So, if awkward silence is your style, then keep doing what you do, but know that if I sit beside you in class tomorrow, I'm ready to chip away the ice.
Do you have an awkward icebreaker story to share? Well we want to hear it! Feel free to join the party and leave a comment below!

She's a relentless optimist, hazardously curious, and tends to laugh a lot (her friends would say that she has a juvenile sense of humour). When not spending money she doesn't have on clothes, or jamming out to Reggaeton, you can find her in a movie theatre, reading a book that involves sword fighting and dragons.

Here is the border in close-up. The Dresden plate blocks are 13" square and the nine-patch blocks are 3" finished. The border is two 3" strips of background fabric with a 1" pieced strip in between. The pieced strip alternates squares of background fabric with the fabrics used in the Dresden plates. I didn't have much trouble fitting it all together, fortunately.
I think I am going to call this quilt Summertime. I have a small collection of chintz patterned china and Summertime, by Royal Winton, is one of favorite patterns. The colors in this quilt remind me of the china.
You can find quite a lot of this china on eBay.

Book of Saints – Maximian – 9 June
(Saint) Bishop (June 9) (6th century) A Sicilian by birth and a member of the monastic community Saint Gregory the Great established in his family mansion on the Coelian Hill. He served both Saint Gregory and his predecessor Pelagius as their representative at the Court of Constantinople, and in Rome for a time acted as minister to Saint Gregory. The latter appointed him Bishop of Syracuse and his Legate in Sicily, where the Saint died (A.D. 594) in the third year of his Episcopate. To the zeal, wisdom and virtues of Saint Maximian Saint Gregory bears eloquent testimony in his Letters, speaking of him as " a man of holy memory, a most faithful servant of God, a worthy Father of his Church, and after death a member of the Heavenly Choir."

Association of Mineworkers & Construction Union on behalf of Molefe and Impala Platinum Ltd (2014) 35 ILJ 1690 (CCMA)
It is procedurally unfair for the Chairperson of a disciplinary enquiry to formulate and add a new charge.
The employee was employed as a supervisor in the employer's accounts division. She was charged with two offences but found not guilty of either and was instead dismissed on a new charge formulated by the chairperson at the disciplinary hearing. The union, acting on behalf of the employee, referred a dispute to the CCMA alleging that she had been unfairly dismissed. The dispute was not resolved at conciliation and was referred to arbitration.
At arbitration it was the employer's version that during the investigation relating to the other two offences, the employee admitted having received a gift voucher from a supplier which she did not declare in terms of the employer's procedure. The employer admitted that the charge-sheet did not make specific reference to the failure to disclose receipt of the gift voucher but submitted that the employee had been charged with breaching the code of ethics (albeit in relation to a different set of facts) and evidence was led with regard to the vouchers. The chairperson was satisfied that a general interpretation of the code of ethics justified his finding. He considered her conduct to be a serious breach of the employer's code of ethics, particularly as the employee worked in the finance section which required a high level of trust.
The employee advised that she told the interviewer that a supplier had brought two gift vouchers to her and she kept one for herself and gave one to her supervisor. She made the disclosure in response to the interviewer's request that she raise any matter of concern, and was not told that it would be used against her in the future. The incident had occurred in 2010. Although the gift had not been recorded in the employer's gift register, she had not attempted to conceal it and had advised her supervisor about it.
The commissioner found the dismissal to be procedurally unfair because the employee was issued with a notice of enquiry which did not accord with the charge in respect of which she was eventually found guilty. The chairperson imported charges brought to his attention through extrinsic evidence which was not in support of the charges for which the employee was charged. He overstepped his mandate in this regard and displayed bias.
The commissioner found that the employee was unfairly dismissed and ordered her retrospective reinstatement.
Extract from the award:
Molapo, Commissioner:
[55] Section 188(1)(b) of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 as amended provides that:
'A dismissal that is not automatically unfair, is unfair if the employer fails to prove . . . (b) dismissal was effected in terms of a fair procedure.'[56] The applicant challenged the procedure and I find the dismissal procedurally unfair. This is mainly based on the fact that the applicant was issued with a notice to attend the hearing, which specifically informed her of the full particulars of the charges she was called upon to answer in the hearing. According to the notice to attend the disciplinary hearing, the applicant had the right to be afforded at least three days to prepare for her charges.
[57] The chairperson of the disciplinary hearing ticked in the affirmative under item 2 of the hearing procedure checklist, which contained a clause that he conducted the enquiry in accordance with the company's disciplinary code and procedure. However, the chairperson agreed during the arbitration that he found the applicant not guilty on the charges she was presented with and for which she had prepared a defence. He agreed that he dismissed the applicant for imported charges which were brought to his attention through extrinsic evidence which was not brought in support of the charges the applicant was charged for. The chairperson read the charges to the applicant and asked her if she understood the charges, yet in his conclusion he deviated from the very charges which formed the gist of his enquiry.
[58] The chairperson of the disciplinary hearing clearly overstepped his mandate by failing to make a determination on the material that was brought by the respondent before him and conveniently looked elsewhere to find wrongdoing on the part of the applicant. It cannot be correct that the applicant was afforded an opportunity to prepare for the imported charges in accordance with the respondent's disciplinary procedures. One can safely conclude that the chairperson displayed a high level of bias against the applicant by relying on irrelevant considerations in dismissing the applicant. The chairperson clearly did not comprehend the respondent's complaint and case against the applicant and instead substituted the respondent's complaint with his own. I find the applicant's dismissal procedurally unfair.

PC's Call of Duty Elite delayed
Sorry, stat-tracking PC friends, Call of Duty Elite for PC is not going to launch on November 8 alongside Modern Warfare 3.
The news comes from Activision's social media manager, Dan Amrich, who recently chatted with Beachhead Studios about the service.
"We're as committed as ever to the PC, but the need to ensure a safe PC environment is greater than ever. It's really extensive. We need more time to get there, so Elite on PC will not launch on Day 1. We're working our butts off to make it happen, but we won't release it until we know that PC gamers can enjoy Elite as it's meant to be."
Not to worry, though. Modern Warfare 3 is still on for a worldwide launch on November 8.

15 Most Romantic lines of all time- Literature says it the best
2015-01-16 13:18:21 | Archita Garg
-by Archita Garg "Perhaps they were right putting love into books. Perhaps it could not live anywhere else". –William Faulkner You know, there are times when love renders us speechless (literally). Poets in all centuries have written volumes about this thing called love. For all those times when you are out of words, we bring you the most romantic lines to say and write to your beloved and they shall forever be yours. Here, check out the most romantic lines that will create magic in your relationship. 1. "I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul." -Pablo Neruda 2."Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one's life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one's side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music, perhaps… perhaps…love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath." —Lucy Maud Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea3. "But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane." -John Green, Looking For Alaska 4. "Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you. And I'm thankful for that, Rose. I'm thankful. You must do me this honour, Rose. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise." -Jack Dawson (Titanic)5. "If I believe in death be sure of this it is because you have loved me, moon and sunset stars and flowers gold crescendo and silver muting." -E.E. Cummings, excerpt from "if I believe" 6. "If he loved you with all the power of his soul for a lifetime, he couldn't love you as much as I do in a single day." ― Heathcliff, Wuthering Heights 7. "…and yet her name was like a summons to all my foolish blood." ― James Joyce 8. "Women are made to be loved, not understood." ―Oscar Wilde 9. "She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there, leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together." - J.D. Salinger 10. 'After all this time?' 'Always,' said Snape. 11. "When he shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun." - William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet 12. "Seeing her sitting there unresponsive makes me realize that silence has a sound." ― Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper 13. "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet." -Plato 14. "The exhilarating ripple of her voice was a wild tonic in the rain." -The Great Gatsby 15. "You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you." - Jane Austen

Photos on the website are misleading

When I purchased the clothes set, the photo showed purple overalls and a lavendar sweater, hat, and shoes. They showed up hot pink. They are well made, but I never would have ordered hot pink, so I have taken them off and am using the overalls and white shirt only. It would be good to be more clear on the website.
Sweet but shoes don't fit
by Erin -
This is a really sweet outfit and my daughter LOVES the pink and purple colors. One issue is that the booties were two different sizes. Neither of them fits well on the doll (too small) and one I actually can't get on the foot of the doll at all. I would have to break and resew the top stitching to make them work. I felt like for the price the fit should have been better. However, these are handmade dolls so the size may vary and maybe our Bambino's feet are bigger than some of the others. Otherwise it is well made and we love the outfit!
Just What the Dolly Needed
by Cara -
It felt like a lot to pay for doll clothes, but after almost two years of owning our Bambino, I still hadn't gotten around to making her anything--and I feel good knowing someone is getting at least a decent pay for these lovely hand-knit items! M.M. does not exaggerate--the fuchsia is definitely vivid! I knew my daughter loved pink, so that wasn't an issue. And luckily, our booties fit just right, so overall, the outfit is perfect.

Go Wild on Safari
Do you have a wild side? Then take yourself on a thrilling adventure with the Go Wild on Safari slots game! The game aims to take you on your own miniature safari through fantastic reels and excellent bonuses. As well as entertaining elephants and cool crocodiles, you might also spot yourself some huge cash wins!
As you might guess, Go Wild on Safari is all about animals. As well as the usual card symbols found in almost every slots game, there is also a wide array of animals, including zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, elephants and monkeys. Each animal symbol glares or smirks at the player, and each one is wearing a tour guide's hat – with a humorous implication about what might have happened to previous tour guides who have dared to go wild...
The game puts a lot of focus on being fun and entertaining, with exciting bongo and whistle music playing whenever there's a spin. If you enjoyed playing games like Viper Active and Furry Friends, then there's a good chance you'll like this.
How To Play
In order to play Go Wild on Safari, first you need to set how high you want your stake to be. Unlike some other games, you don't get a choice of how many lines you want to be active – you are set at 20 lines per spin. Whatever you choose to set as your bet – a minimum of 1p and a maximum of 50p – will then be multiplied across all 20 lines. Once you've decided how much you want to wager, hit the SPIN button to start playing! The reels will start to move, and when they stop, you'll be able to see whether you've made any patterns, which will get you a win!
Free Spins Bonus
If you're looking to grab some speedy free wins, then watch out for the Scatter symbol, which takes the form of a jeep – similar to the kind you might ride on in a safari. When you get 3 or more of these in any position on the reels, you can enjoy up to 15 Free Spins, PLUS a multiplier on your bet of up to 50x. The maximum payout during these free spin rounds is 40,000 stake per line amount, meaning that depending what you've bet, you could win up to £20,000!
Wild Symbol
The other symbol you want to keep an eye out for is the Wild Symbol. This is very easy to spot, with the word WILD written in big white letters across it. There are two reasons to love the Wild symbol – the first is the massive payout it offers, as 5 wilds on a line will give you an amazing 40,000x multiplier on your line bet. But that's not all – Wilds act as a substitute for every symbol apart from the Scatter – giving you extra opportunities to wrack up multiple wins.
Available on Mobile
Go Wild on Safari is configured for mobile and tablet devices, as well as desktop. You don't need to download anything, simply access the game via the lobby on your phone, and you will find it already designed specifically to fit your mobile screen, so you can play wherever you want!
Return To Player
This game has a theoretical RTP of 95.32% which means for every £100 wagered it will pay out £95.32. Malfunction voids all pays and play.

In light of my upcoming first ever-Law of Self Defense Seminar to be held in Chicago in April (thanks to host David Lawson), I thought folks might find it interesting to read about an interesting self-defense court decision made each month–let's call it the "Illinois Self-Defense Case of the Month".
These are really SD cases, not 2A cases–except insofar as the 2A encompasses self-defense, which I would argue is a great deal–so if this is not the correct forum, please advise. Anyway, although this is already late March I've decided to backtrack to January, so this first case comes from the first month of the year. I'll try to get February up within a few days, then follow with March sometime the first week of next month. At that point I guess I'll assess whether folks here seem to find them interesting. If so, I'll keep doing them, if not . . . well, then not. 🙂
People v. White, 2014 IL App (4th) 120785-U (IL Ct. App. 2014)
January 8, 2014
The defendant, Emerald White, was found guilty by a jury of aggravated domestic battery and sentenced to 12 ½ years in prison.
The victim was her husband, James Phillips, whom she struck with her automobile, dragging him down the road and causing severe bodily injury, including subarachnoid bleeding in his head, fractures of the skull, neck and femur, and a perineal wound.
White conceded that she had deliberately struck Phillips with her SUV, but claimed that she had done so in necessary self-defense. The jury was read a self-defense jury instruction, but nevertheless returned a guilty verdict.
Facts in Evidence
In the early morning hours White was talking with her female friend McCarvey. The SUV was backed into McCarvey's driveway. McCarvey would testify that their conversation had finished and she had exited the vehicle when White saw someone approaching on a bicycle a block or so down the street. She testified that White expressed concern that it might be her husband, Phillips.
McCarvey described White as panicking, putting the car in gear, and taking off, fishtailing out of the driveway, turning in the direction of her husband, and striking him. In describing Phillips, McCarvey testified that he "looked mad" and "was just trying to speed down [the street] as if he was trying to catch [defendant] before she pulled off out the driveway." She also testified that it seemed as if James was "trying to get to the driver's side of the door."
In a pre-trial interview of White by investigators (while, ironically, White was visiting Phillips recovering from his grave injuries in the hospital), White stated that she was sitting in her vehicle outside her friend's house when she looked up and Phillips was riding his bicycle right in front of her. He was speaking, she said, and told the investigator that he was saying:
'Come here. Bring your a** over . . . ' He said, 'bring your mother f*cking a** here.' With a whole bunch of 'bitches" and what nots and stuff. . . . 'bring your mother f*cking a** over here b****.' But when I looked up and seen him, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go. I looked up and there he was. Well, sh*t was already started, but I just threw the b**** in drive and I went . . . I just went.
White stated that she floored the gas pedal, and her car "fishtailed out of the driveway and halfway up the block." Looking in her rearview mirror she saw that Phillips was lying in the road. She claimed she was trying to get away from him, but had not intended to run him over.
Two additional witnesses were Jasmine and Alex Jones. Jasmine testified that they saw White's car "pull out real fast and turn left" [in the direction of Phillips] and "the man that was standing at the end of the driveway got runned over." Jasmine further testified that the man on the bike had been doing "[n]othing" but "sitting on his bike" before he was struck.
Alex Jones testified that he saw a "white truck pull up the driveway" and hit a man who was on a bicycle at the end of the driveway. Alex would call 911, the audio recording of which was played in court.
Prosecutors also introduced into evidence recordings of phone calls that White had made while in prison. In the course of those calls White sought to induce Phillips to provide the police with statements that would put her in a favorable light. Specifically, she wanted Phillips to tell investigators that he had been "reaching into the car" or "reaching for the door." Such claims would contradict earlier statements Phillips had made to investigators, but White argued that didn't matter, becase "[t]he sh*t had to sound good for [her]."
Finally, the defendant introduced evidence at trial of various past incidents of domestic violence committed by Phillips against her.
The Law
White was permitted a self-defense instruction at trial, over the Prosecution's objections. Specifically, the judge instructed the jury that:
A person is justified in the use of force when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend himself against the imminent use of unlawful force.
However, a person is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself.
As noted, despite this instruction the jury found White guilty of aggravated domestic battery, and she was sentenced to 12 ½ years in prison, after which she appealed her conviction.
On appeal, the defendant argued that the self-defense instruction she received was incomplete because it failed to note that she could act in self-defense not just against a threat of death or grave bodily harm but also against a forcible felony [720 ILCS 5/12-3.2(a)(1)] or a vehicular invasion [720 ILCS 5/12-11.1].
For purposes of the reversal of a conviction, it is not enough that the trial court simply made a mistake, it must have been a mistake that mattered—in other words, one in which the outcome would have been different had the mistake not been made.
The appellate court here acknowledged that the trial court did not accurately instruct the jury on self-defense. They quote the elements of IL self-defense law from a state Supreme Court case, noting that the initial burden of production rests on the defendant:
[T]o instruct the jury on self-defense, the defendant must establish some evidence of each of the following elements: (1) force is threatened against a person; (2) the person threatened is not the aggressor; (3) the danger of harm was imminent; (4) the threatened force was unlawful; (5) he actually and subjectively believed a danger existed which required the use of the force applied; and (6) his beliefs were objectively reasonable.
People v. Jeffries, 646 N.E.2d 587 (IL Supreme Court 1995)
The correct jury instruction that should have been read to the jury at trial would have been:
A person is justified in the use of force when and to the extent that he reasonably believes that such conduct is necessary to defend [(himself) (another)] against the imminent use of unlawful force.
[However, a person is justified in the use of force which is intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm only if he reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent [(imminent death or great bodily harm to [(himself) (another)]] or (the commission of [a forcible felony]).
Further, Illinois statute 720 ILCS 5/2-8 defines the forcible felonies:
'Forcible felony' means treason, first degree murder, second degree murder, predatory criminal sexual assault of a child, aggravated criminal sexual assault, criminal sexual assault, robbery, burglary, residential burglary, aggravated arson, arson, aggravated kidnaping, kidnaping, aggravated battery resulting in great bodily harm or permanent disability or disfigurement and any other felony which involves the use or threat of physical force or violence against any individual.
Legal Analysis
White argued on appeal that Phillips was attempting to commit a forcible felony upon her, in the form of domestic battery and vehicular invasion.
The first difficulty with her argument is that domestic battery is a misdemeanor, not a felony. It is true that if convicted of domestic battery, Phillips' prior felonies would result in the offense being upgraded to a felony. The appellate court chose not to adopt this expansive approach, however. If not included in the list of forcible felonies above, they decided, it will not be considered a forcible felony for purposes of justifying the use of deadly force in self-defense.
Second, the appellate court decided that even if the domestic battery or the claimed vehicular invasion could theoretically count as a forcible felony for purposes of self-defense, the facts of this case are not sufficiently compelling to warrant a reversal on that basis. The appellate court noted that:
Here, the defendant acknowledged striking James with her vehicle. Two witnesses observed defendant's vehicle accelerate forward and trike James, who was on a bicycle at the end of the driveway. One witness observed James doing "[n]othing" but "sitting on his bike" before he was struck. The State's evidence further indicated defendant . . . tried to convince Phillips to add information to his statement.
This latter is a classical example of "consciousness of guilt" evidence, particularly damning to any defendant claiming self-defense.
In any case, the trial court's jury instruction, while incomplete, was "good enough," in the eyes of the appellate court. The jury was instructed that the use of force 'intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm" is justified if a defendant "reasonably believes that such force is necessary to prevent imminent death of great bodily harm." During closing argument her counsel argued to the jury that White struck Phillips with her vehicle because she was "panicked for her life," and feared "being beaten badly" by Phillips or "put in the hospital." The appellate court concluded that:
Under these circumstances, her self-defense theory was sufficiently presented to the jury. Any error by the trial court in failing to instruct the jury on a self-defense theory based on prevention of a forcible felony was harmless.
White's conviction and sentence were unanimously affirmed by the appellate court.

Why 'Job Swooshing' is Great for Job Searching
Never heard of "job swooshing" before? Well, it's a jobs creation phenomenon that occurs post-recession.
Ask anyone who has been in the HR, recruiting and staffing industry for decades and they'll tell you: Job swooshing is the first sign of recovery in the job market.
In a recent article I wrote for AOL Jobs, I explain why job swooshing is great for job searching (and what it means).

This past weekend, Breaking Bad cashed in big time at the Golden Globe awards with wins for both best drama and lead actor, with the inimitable Bryan Cranston finally getting accolades at the annual event for his fantastic portrayal of anti-hero Walter White. Anyone who has watched the show, which wrapped up last year, probably felt the kudos were well deserved – it truly was one of the best series to ever grace the airwaves.
What I liked most about Breaking Bad were how seemingly minor details were introduced in one episode, only to be revisited in later ones to further flesh out and illuminate the ongoing plot. It was these sorts of things – like Walter spelling out his birthday numbers with bacon – that really impressed upon viewers that the writers knew exactly what they were doing all along.
On the flip side, there's the Canadian wireless market. In discussing the federal government's long-running quest to bring more competition to the industry, most pundits – regardless of what end of the spectrum or ideology they subscribe to – have generally agreed that there's been little rhyme or reason coming out of Ottawa. By all accounts, Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his crew have been making things up as they go, as the current disarray seems to prove. Rather than Breaking Bad, it's been more like Lost – a show that didn't really make sense but promised an epic resolution, yet failed to pay off in the end.
But what if everyone is wrong and the government's plot really isn't like Lost? What if, like Breaking Bad, the whole situation really has been meticulously planned and crafted, and is in fact playing out perfectly?
I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out.
Back in 2006, the lobbying over the upcoming auction of Advanced Wireless Services spectrum was running hot and heavy. The main agitators for changing the status quo were Manitoba's MTS and Quebec's Videotron, owned by Quebecor. The two companies were seeking so-called set-asides, or a portion of licenses reserved solely for new players looking to enter the market, which Bell, Rogers and Telus could not bid on. Speculation was rife that the two companies would join forces and create a fourth national wireless company to take on the Big Three.
In 2007, then industry minister Jim Prentice granted the two companies' wishes with an announcement that a big chunk – 40 per cent – of the airwaves would in fact be reserved for new entrants. Industry insiders at the time attributed the set-aside largely to the efforts of one man: Luc Lavoie, chief lobbyist and spokesman for Quebecor, who also represented and was a friend of former Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney. If anybody was able to bend Harper's ear about the need for more wireless competition – and therefore a set-aside – it was him.
When the auction finally took place in 2008, a number of new companies emerged as big winners: Videotron in Quebec and (strangely) in Toronto, Shaw in Western Canada, the entities that would eventually become Wind and Mobilicity in a number of big cities, as well as Public Mobile in Toronto and Montreal. MTS won licenses in Manitoba, where it already had network, but somewhere along the way things changed and it decided against expanding outside its home province.
Prior to the auction, Videotron was reselling Rogers wireless service in Quebec to complement its own television and internet offerings. The company very much wanted to control its own destiny – not to mention its own cash cow – with a network of its very own, so its desire for spectrum was understandable. But it also mysteriously bought that block of spectrum in Toronto…
I remember asking Videotron executives about it at the time and they nonchalantly said it was a way to keep their options open. It could have been an inexpensive way to give Quebec customers free roaming in Toronto, a threat to wave over Rogers' head while Videotron got its own network up and running, or at the very worst, it would have been a valuable chunk of real estate that could later be resold to a needy buyer. Like the birthday bacon, we'll get back to this in an episode… er, a paragraph or two.
Meanwhile, strange things were afoot in Western Canada. Shaw, fresh off having bought a whack of spectrum licenses and shortly after the passing of Rogers cable magnate Ted Rogers, did the unthinkable – it bought Mountain Cable, right in the heart of Rogers' Ontario territory.
Rogers was very worried that this was the start of something bigger. "Mountain isn't a one-off deal," a lawyer for the company said. "Shaw intends to acquire further assets in eastern Canada."
Rogers countered with a move that was even more unthinkable – it sued Shaw, claiming the Western company was violating a non-compete agreement the two had to carve the country in half. Lawyers for Shaw incredulously responded by saying that no such deal existed, and that if it had it would have been illegal.
The courts eventually rejected Rogers' lawsuit, but then Shaw decided to scrap its plans to launch a wireless network. The company also then decided to sell Mountain Cable and its spectrum to Rogers for $700 million, although the spectrum part of that deal is currently in limbo because of the government's refusal to allow transfers to the Big Three. But clearly, any initial thoughts Shaw had about encroaching on its frenemy's territory – be it geographical or market – were quickly reversed, the detente resumed.
Rogers then struck a deal with Videotron to buy that bacon… er, Toronto spectrum for $180 million, but that agreement is also currently on ice because of the same government moratorium.
And now we come to the mid-season plot twists…
After years of recommendations from nearly all comers, the government finally loosened foreign ownership restrictions on telecom companies in 2012. One of the first takers on the new rules was Vimpelcom, which sought to establish full ownership and control of Wind. However, the Russian company eventually withdrew that request last year, reportedly because it was facing a rejection by the Canadian government on national security grounds. It seems the feds weren't (and still aren't) comfortable with a Russian company controlling a Canadian telecom concern – especially one that is using Chinese-built equipment.
And then, last fall, the government rejected a deal between MTS and Accelero Capital Holdings to buy Allstream, the Winnipeg-based company's national business lines unit. Industry Minister James Moore cited unspecified national security concerns were behind the rejection, but observers think it had more to do with the government's distaste for Naguib Sawiris, the billionaire Egyptian investor behind Accelero and who helped to originally start Wind. Sawiris also helped launch mobile service in North Korea, which could have been part of those national security concerns.
Throughout all of this, the government has maintained a desire – and belief – that a sustainable fourth national wireless player would emerge to challenge Bell, Rogers and Telus.
There are now rumours that Videotron may indeed be mulling a national expansion, perhaps by buying Mobilicity or purchasing spectrum across the country in this week's auction, or both. The question thus arises: given their past ties, what if the Quebec company has been the government's favoured fourth-player-in-waiting all along?
Perhaps MTS and Shaw caught wind of this long ago, which is why they gave up on their own wireless aspirations. Perhaps Wind and Mobilicity were set up as patsies who could build some networks and acquire some customers, to eventually be acquired cheaply by Videotron. Perhaps the 2008 auction was merely a stepping stone to get Videotron up and running. Perhaps the company's attempted sale of spectrum to Rogers was just a ruse that it knew would be rejected (wink wink). Perhaps the government – even though it was desperate for someone to come along and assume that fourth carrier role – axed the only real efforts to do so because they didn't go along with the preordained script. Perhaps even U.S. giant Verizon was somehow scared away by the possibility of this plot existing.
In a nutshell, perhaps everything that has happened over the past seven years has been specifically set up to clear the way for Videotron to go national.
The benefits would be obvious and numerous: the government would get its desired fourth player, and even better, it would be a home-grown Canadian one that would not just keep jobs in Canada, but also likely create them. The Conservatives would also get a nice political bump in Quebec, where they need it most, for elevating one of the local companies. Consumers in the rest of Canada, meanwhile, would get the benefit of a new player known for being an aggressive competitor within its home market. It would be a win-win for everyone. Of course, if Videotron did go national it would likely face serious retaliation from the others (Rogers cable in Quebec? Sure, why not), but that could be a minor plot point in this award-contending drama.
Such intricate and borderline genius schemes are obviously more the domain of highly proficient TV writers and definitely not governments, which is why this is all admittedly highly unlikely. Then again, in the battle between the government and the industry so far, the feds have been doing all they can to reassert their power, so anything – even in retrospect – really is possible. The only thing the Conservatives haven't done so far is appropriate White's most-famous quote, uttered in his own moment of puffery: "A guy opens his door and gets shot and you think that of me? No. I am the one who knocks."

Teen Mom 2 is getting better this season. Or maybe just this one episode was better. Between Chelsea, Jenelle, Leah, and Kailyn, it seems like there is finally some sort of independence going on for the girls.
Don't get me wrong. Jenelle was still a mess crying over Kieffer and the fact that no one would bail him out of jail on Christmas. She should have taken that as a sign (never mind that abusing her was the reason he was there in the first place). Of course she didn't. When it comes to Kieffer, Jenelle is a bit slow on the uptake.
Meanwhile, the other girls were similarly confused. Chelsea and Adam SEEM to be doing better. He has a job and is trying to be around. But he is still a raving jerk in many ways -- laughing when his baby falls over, saying he doesn't like Chelsea's father, grunting responses to all questions. In fact, with the exception of Leah, every one of these girls would be better off alone.
Chelsea, in particular, seems to be dying to give her daughter the two-parent home she never had. And while I get it -- it's hard to imagine what it must feel like to always have to shuttle between two parents -- it's also just not possible with Adam. He seems dangerously cold and mean. He withholds affection, can't communicate, and doesn't treat Chelsea OR Aubree well. He really needs to go.
Then there is Jenelle. Kieffer isn't even the baby daddy and he is one serious jerk who needs to go. His drama affects Jenelle and not in very good ways. When he is around, she can't focus on school or her baby or anything else. When he isn't, she goes in the right direction. So which is better? Obviously, she needs to be alone right now.
Kailyn's boyfriend Jordan seems OK and she is definitely doing the best with her independence, but even she could use some help in that department.
Even Leah and Corey, who I think should stay together (and whose breakup makes me sad), focused on this idea of the perfect two-parent home at the twins' birthday party. "They have mommy and daddy here," Leah said proudly. And while she is right that it's an accomplishment, there is nothing to suggest that being alone is always worse.
Maybe it's because my husband and I are in love and happy after 11 years. But I honestly can't imagine staying with someone just because I thought it was better for the kids. The reason we are together is love. We love each other and enjoy each other's company and are better together than apart. The same can't be said for these girls. So what's the point? Why bother?
The fact is, Chelsea and Jenelle would both be doing much better if they just let those boys fly. Chelsea's boyfriend is a jerk at best and possibly even dangerous. If she surrendered the fantasy, she would have much to look forward to with her daughter. For now, there is very little and the future looks bleak.
A two-parent home IS the ideal. But so is waiting until you're done with college and in a career before having a baby. They're already forging new ground and they would be much better off doing it alone.
Do you think Chelsea and Jenelle need to lose their men?

A Meriden truck-transport broker will spend a year and a day in federal prison for defrauding more than $600,000 from Connecticut manufacturers who relied on his shipping services, prosecutors say.
Digby Kerr, 50, also was ordered to serve three years of supervised release and to make $603,489 in restitution at his sentencing Monday in New Haven federal court following his March 26 conviction on one count of mail fraud, the Connecticut U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Kerr faced as long as 20 years in prison, authorities said. He is due to report to prison on July 23.
As previously reported, Kerr owned Transportation Cost Management LLC, which brokered shipping contracts between manufacturers and trucking companies, the FBI and prosecutors said.
TCM would get shipping invoices from trucking companies, process them, and forward the billing information to the manufacturers, who would then send funds to TCM to pay the trucking companies, authorities said. TCM would then send confirmation reports to the manufacturers indicating that payment had been made to the shippers. TCM drew fees for this service.
But from around Dec. 2016 to April 2017, Kerr admitted that he and TCM failed to remit more than $603,400 in payment funds that TCM received from four manufacturers to the trucking companies that transported goods for those victim producers.
Kerr also arranged for e-mailed confirmation reports to the victims, indicating their payments had been forwarded to the trucking companies.

Tom's music speaks for him, better than any words. Since his first recording in 1980 (Light of The World/NALR), Tom has created a body of sacred music that continues to nourish people of faith, and inspire singers and musicians from around the world. Known as a musician's musician, Tom's songs are at once sing-able, yet broad enough in scope to be interesting to those who play the music. A gifted composer, he is fluent in many styles, from simple to complex, jazz flavored to classically constructed to echoes of pop. It is music that is as enduring as it is engaging.
Tom Kendzia is a liturgical musician, composer, speaker, performer, author, and clinician who has been active in this ministry for over 30 years. In 2005, he celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of his first collection,"Light of the World."
Tom is regularly featured at national conferences, diocesan workshops, and parish events throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean. He has performed regularly in Ireland since 2002, and has been the guest conductor of the Irish Church Music Association Summer School, as well as an instructor at this annual event for the past 12 years.
Currently a liturgical consultant for William H. Sadlier, Inc., Tom also has been a consultant for several U.S. curriculum companies including Harcourt Religion, Our Sunday Visitor, and RCL-Benziger. National events at which he has presented include the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress, National Pastoral Musicians conference, National Catholic Educators Association, National Conference of Catechetical Leaders, Mid-Atlantic Congress, Federation of Diocesan Liturgy Committees, East Coast Conference for Religious Education, and New England Catechetical Conference. His articles have appeared in NPM magazine, Today's Parish, and Modern Liturgy.
Tom has over 30 recordings of liturgical and instrumental music, much of it published by OCP, including:
Like a River
Endless Is Your Love, winner of the 2007 Unity Award for Song of the Year
Lead Us to the Water
Clothed in Love, which won the 2004 Unity Award for both album and song of the year ("The Eyes and Hands of Christ"), and the title cut was the LA Congress theme song in 2001
The Ships That Sailed, recorded in Ireland
Make Us One
Get On Board, with ValLimar Jansen.
His newest recording of original compositions is Christ Within Me.
Having been in parish ministry since 1977, working in parishes in Connecticut, Arizona, and now Rhode Island, Tom is now the music director at Christ the King Parish in Kingston, RI. His published liturgical songs and hymns include: I, the Lord, Pieta, The Eyes and Hands of Christ, Stand By Me, Now Is The Time, Create In Me, Lead Us To The Water, Out of Darkness, Endless Is Your Love, Taste and See, Like A River, Faithful Cross, May The Road Rise Up, Christ Within Me.

Characterization of the Habitat of Ammodytes hexapterus (Pacific Sand Lance) in the San Juan Channel Sand Wave
Lopez, Jennefer
MetadataShow full item record
Ammodytes hexapterus or Pacific sand lance (PSL) are forage fish that spend most of their time buried in benthic substrate (Robards 1999). PSL exhibit a peculiar behavior of actively swimming into sandy substrates as a refuge to avoid predation (Gidmark et al. 2010, Robards 1999, Blaine 2006). A sand wave field was identified in the San Juan Channel, WA in 2004 and discovered to be a suitable habitat for PSL. The San Juan Channel sand wave field is non-uniform and is composed of different substrate types. While physical attributes of the sand wave field have been explored (Greene et al. 2011), there is little known about how PSL use various substrate types as habitat. I am asking the question: How does benthic substrate composition influence the abundance and distribution of Pacific sand lance in the San Juan Channel sand wave? Samples were collected from the San Juan Chanel sand wave with the use of a Van Veen grab. The abundance and size of PSL were examined in each grab as well as the substrate composition. There were apparent trends of PSL abundance decreasing as the amount of gravel increased, and increasing as the amount of sand increased in the sample (Fig 1). Substrate composition seems to not have an influence on PSL size (Fig 3, Fig 4). A map showing the different substrate compositions in different areas of the sand wave in 2013 shows the non-uniform composition of the sand wave (Fig 6).

DataGridView ReadOnly rows and columns in VB.NET
The DataGridView control can display rows of data from a data source. You can extend the DataGridView control in a number of ways to build custom behaviors into your applications. The ReadOnly property indicates whether the data displayed by the cell can be edited or not. You can set ReadOnly Property in three levels. You can make entire dataGridView as ReadOnly.
dataGridView1.ReadOnly = true
You can make entire row as ReadOnly
dataGridView1.Rows(index).ReadOnly = true;
You can make entire Column as ReadOnly
dataGridView1.Columns(index).ReadOnly = true;
The following vb.net source code shows how to make a row as Readonly in a DataGridView.
Imports System.Data.SqlClient Public Class Form1 Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click DataGridView1.ColumnCount = 3 DataGridView1.Columns(0).Name = "Product ID" DataGridView1.Columns(1).Name = "Product Name" DataGridView1.Columns(2).Name = "Product_Price" Dim row As String() = New String() {"1", "Product 1", "1000"} DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row) row = New String() {"2", "Product 2", "2000"} DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row) row = New String() {"3", "Product 3", "3000"} DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row) row = New String() {"4", "Product 4", "4000"} DataGridView1.Rows.Add(row) DataGridView1.Rows(1).ReadOnly = True End Sub End Class

Spontaneous trip always bears unexpected things. After accepted Miss. Afny's invitation to accompany her in her house in Tangerang, we –me, Arfi, Shindy and Nalini—walked away from campus to Palmerah Train Station. No preparing and bringing any cloth for tomorrow, Me and Nalini only brought what we brought today to campus for this surprised-trip. Absolutely, we didn't bring any underwear. Ok, I shouldn't write this one. But lucky us, Shindy borrowed us her clothes.
We didn't reach platform 2 when we have been in Palmerah Train Station. So, we lost Tanah Abang Train and we haved to wait until the next train coming. The plan was changed because we have known the last train which has destination to Tangerang would arrive in Duri at 21:35. We decided to go out from there and walked away to Slipi to get on bus.
It was not easy like we think before. We haved to cross here, there and there to reach where the right-bus-stop-area is. It was so tiring for me because I brought two bags, a ransel bag with a laptop in it and a handbag with tumblr and mineral water 1lt in it.
God still loves us. After crossed everywhere, we found out the bus. I got on the bus and direcly sat on my bench and put my bags down. I'm totally tired. But the trip has not been end yet. We haved to get on other public transportation to reach Miss. Afny's house. And did you know? We were lost during we got on angkot B02. The driver drove us to the wrong way. And it made us spending our money for paying double cost. So annoying!
After All of that has done, we arrived at Griya Kosambi which Miss. Afny's house is located at. We saw her, waiting us at her gate house with a lovely smile on her beautiful face. Finally... we arrived!
We told her everything was happen during our trip. We shared a lot of stories about campus condition until midnight. She really treated us well, like we are her children. After we wore pajama that is borrowed by her, we played UNO before we go to sleep.
Miss. Afny: How If we go out in the morning tomorrow? While we have breakfast, Nasi Uduk or Soto Ayam?
Us : Yes Miss! We love It!
In the fact.
09:30 AM. Yoshhhhh. We slept over! We slept at 03:30AM and It made us slept over. Bzzzzzz. We were so sorry to Miss. Afny. The plan was canceled because we slept over. To cover it, we finally cooked together and absolutely we divided jobs.
First for the breakfast, we made toasted bread with chocolate, banana and cheese in it. And for the lunch, we cooked 4 dishes, Sayur Sawi with Tahu, Gohun, Tempe Goreng and Ayam Tepung. All of it was so delicious. We ate the foods satisfy. Yummy!
Sadly, after it we haved to go back to campus because there was a class. From the deepest of our heart, We didn't want to leave Miss. Afny's house early. We still wanted to share everything with her, doing house activity, and studying with her. Huhuhuhu.
Life must go on. Before we go, she told us about the different rute because we wanted to take train. After she told us, we permited to her and say thanks. Yosshhh thank you Miss. Afny! Maybe next time we will accompany you again and we can cook together again.

Rightmove, the property website is now listing the average broadband speeds that can be expected at all the properties that it lists.
There are more than 1 million homes listed on Rightmove.co.uk and the importance of broadband speeds to buyers is very clear, with research done with over 3,000 Rightmove users showing that broadband details were ranked as more important for a property than the local transport links and what the schools nearby were.
Bernard Phillips from Rightmove, said:
"We're always considering new developments to our website and mobile platforms, to make sure we provide Rightmove users with the best property search experience and because we understand the benefits these have for our customers. The trial exceeded our expectations so it's become a permanent addition that further enhances our listings. We already offer a number of tools to help consumers make informed decisions about a property including local schools and transport links, and we're pleased to be the first to add data on broadband, something that has become ingrained in people's lives and an important factor when choosing a home."
On each property listing you just need to click on the "Check Broadband Speed" link to find what the average internet speed for that post code is. The speed will be displayed and explain what type of things you will be able to do on a broadband connection of that speed, for example if you will be able to have multiple people using the internet at the same time or if you can stream HD videos etc.

Hot topics in embedded control and measurement
Embedded World is one of the world's largest gatherings for embedded technology, bringing more than 30K people to Nuremberg, Germany from across the globe to experience the latest tech impacting the embedded industry. Here's a summary of what happened at the event, though our NI lens.
So why is time-sensitive networking so important for embedded this year? We address this directly in our TSN keynote at NIWeek 2016 last fall. Here's an updated transcript of that keynote, featuring our own Jamie Smith and Todd Walter, Intel's Kevin Stanton, and Cisco's Paul Didier. You can also watch the keynote above.
The internet of things (IoT) continues to capture headlines around the globe, as technology companies everywhere begin to leverage the opportunities and competitive advantages connected devices bring to business. 2017 will be a big year for embedded monitoring based on the industrial internet of things (IIoT): millions of connected monitoring devices providing big data about machine/grid performance. Embedded World 2017 in Nuremberg will give us a great look at how companies are leveraging the IIoT, and how the industry is adapting.
A human machine interface (HMI) provides the UI for data visualization and control of an embedded system, and roughly 80 percent of our embedded customers need an HMI for their application.
A great method for building remote HMIs (that can also scale to be used locally) is Web Services, a standard and open way to communicate with VIs over the Web.
