The way of the Ice Cream Ninjas
After excluding the Ice Cream Ninjas parlour in Tyger Valley from my Top Five Ice Cream Spots blog, I was challenged to a taste fest by Head Ninja Anton Fester, and soon realised my error.
Located conveniently on the ground level of the Tyger Valley Shopping Centre's Food Court, the brightly coloured ice cream dojo, uh parlour, is inviting and impressive. Balls of frozen dessert seem to fly about but, fear not, this is just the ninjas at work, showing off their stunning martial arts skills as they mix your personally chosen ingredients into a tasty delight on a frozen slab.
With more than 100 000 possible combinations and a variety of toppings to choose from, my fellow taster and I found it virtually impossible to choose one. Luckily Anton was on hand to help.
Our White Cloud (vanilla ice cream, white chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate brownie and cookie dough), Nutty Latte (coffee ice cream, fudge, pecan nuts and caramelised cashews) and It Takes Two To Mango (raspberry sauce, mango ice cream, almonds and pineapple) were DIVINE!
Having been humbled by my gobsmacking adventure, and swearing on my waffle cone that I would never again omit the Ice Cream Ninjas from such a blog, I sat down for a chat with Anton, my newly discovered sensei:
What trade were you in before?
I worked for a major tobacco company for about 10 years before I was retrenched. My last position was in the marketing department.
When and how did the idea for the Ice Cream Ninjas concept come to you?
Once I had heard there would be a restructure and that my role was affected, I decided it was my way out of corporate, and started looking at the food industry. I realised three things about franchises: they are expensive, all the best sites are taken, and there is no room for creativity. I thought back to an ice cream shop I went to in New York (I seriously hadn't thought about this place in about four years) and googled it. They were looking to expand internationally and for $2m I could hold the master franchise for SA. This was a bit too rich for my liking. After more research I realised there were more chains that used the same concept of mixing things into ice cream on a frozen slab. I clicked that the concept wasn't exclusive, and that was my in. I used all my experience in marketing to create the Ice Cream Ninjas brand.
How do you plan on expanding the business this year?
From three places: opening more shops, increasing the number of events we do with our mobile unit (weddings, birthdays, corporate/brand events), and increasing our product offering (we already do gourmet ice cream cakes, and milkshakes are next)
What has been your most inspired ice cream creation?
The most inspired creation has to be the Eye of the Tiger. It has wasabi peas and ginger mashed into crème ice cream. It is definitely punches above its weight class. *insert Rocky music*
Your most memorable client satisfaction experience is?
There have been so many spectacular reactions to our ice cream that it's hard to choose one
If the Mother City was an ice cream designed by your team, what would she be and why?
Cape Town would have to be chocolate, coffee and crème ice cream with koeksisters, pecan nuts and a brownie. We would call it the Ma se City.
The ice creams are representations of the diversity of Cape Town, the koeksisters are deliciously sweet, the pecans add an amazing texture and the brownies are ... well ... they're just amazing like the city!

Hi, Everyone:
Does anyone know anything about orthogonal and symplectic groups
associated to Gl(n,R)? I am using symplectic/orthogonal in what I think
is the standard sense; I mean, we have an R-module R_M (left- or right- ), and
symplectic /quadratic forms q_S , q_Q respectively . Then the symplectic/orthogonal group
associated with (R_M,Q) is defined to be the subgroup of Gl(n,R) that preserves q_S, resp. q_Q.
I have checked Artin, I Hungerfor(d) Algebra--even Schaum's :) .
Thanks for ideas, refs.

The 8 Greatest Eddie Murphy Movies of All Time
#4. 48 Hrs. -- Soren Bowie
In his very first film role, Eddie Murphy pioneered a genre. 48 Hrs. set the tone for every other buddy-cop action movie in which the buddies privately hate one another and sometimes punch each other in the face. Lethal Weapon, Tango and Cash, Rush Hour, Bad Boys and just about every other movie where a no-nonsense cop reluctantly teams up with a smartass owe their existence to 48 Hrs.
"There's just so much character conflict!"
But the movie's success is almost directly attributable to Eddie Murphy. While Nick Nolte is good as a surly, jaded detective, moviemakers figured out pretty quickly that, in the blueprint for Eddie Murphy cop movies, the partner is interchangeable. The Beverly Hills Cop franchise, for instance, is just a variation on the same formula someone discovered with 48 Hrs.
Caught on film: The exact moment Nick Nolte became expendable.
It's ironic then that the first movie proving that Eddie Murphy could be paired with any nameless white cop(s) contains so much generality and overt racism against black people that entire scenes are missing when it shows up on basic cable. Nolte's character is very careful about not letting a single epithet slip through the cracks, calling Murphy everything from "spear chucker" to the more confusing "watermelon." But all that bigotry only makes the most iconic scene of the movie that much more enjoyable: Eddie Murphy schools an entire bar full of cowboy rednecks by mocking their accents, their silly hats and their ignorance. It's enormously gratifying to watch him command control of a room where everyone could literally hate him to death. He insults them so hard that they're too disoriented to fight back. That scene is a testament to the fact that Eddie Murphy never needed chemistry with anyone else on camera; he could carry an entire scene by himself and make us love him for it.
#3. Shrek -- Cody Johnston
DONKEY! Everyone loves Donkey. Kids, adults, whatever's between kids and adults. Heck, even Shrek loved Donkey, and he hated everything and everyone. You can say it was Fiona, but Donkey is the one who finally warmed Shrek's heart. And that was all thanks to the vocal talents of the great Eddie Murphy. He was not only hilarious, but he also gave us some truly heartfelt moments that made us want to hug Donkey and punch Shrek. Or, in our darkest moments, to donkey-punch Shrek.
"Wait, Donkey, we've changed our minds."
It was Eddie Murphy's erratic, hyperactive vocal stylings that made Shrek a hit. Kids didn't flock to the theater over and over because they thought Mike Myers did a great Scottish accent and couldn't wait to watch the green guy go through some significant character development. They went because a talking donkey named Donkey said funny things in a funny way. In the way only Eddie Murphy could say them. Murphy has made a career of being a living cartoon, often playing multiple characters in the same film. Each character has a different voice, but they all have the same basic quick-talking, hyperactive energy. Unbeknownst to him, Murphy's career had been training him to be the voice of one of the most popular cartoon characters ever in one of the most successful animated franchises of all time.
He was Donkey the whole time.
There's a reason Donkey is No. 21 on Empire's list of 50 Best Animated Characters and Shrek is nowhere to be found. Because Eddie Murphy's Donkey stole the show, like Eddie Murphy's characters always do. He's simply the best. That'll do, Murphy. That'll do.
#2. Delirious -- Kristi Harrison
22. Eddie Murphy was 22 years old when he recorded the 1983 stand-up special Delirious. Sometimes we forget that when you're talking about Eddie Murphy, you're talking about a prodigy, like Mozart, or the band Prodigy, but if they were younger. At an age when most of us are filling out our first Wendy's applications while Mom and Dad mail out the college graduation invitations, Eddie Murphy held the whole country in the palm of his dazzling, hilarious hand. Delirious was the moment when Eddie Murphy took America to the back room and made sweet but nasty love to her for 70 whole minutes.
"Hey girl."
And here's the thing: We can watch Eddie be Eddie delivering other people's lines, and he's going to do a good job, because he's Eddie. He's entertaining to watch. I'll sit here and wait all day for you to name another stand-up comedian who transitioned to movies as successfully as Eddie Murphy.
(Eight hours later.) But Delirious was the first (and maybe best?) time Eddie gave us his own lines -- and they're good. This is Murphy before he grew up. This is the kid who saved Saturday Night Live with the sheer force of his personality, who could nail everyone from Elvis to James Brown and talk about Stevie Wonder like Stevie Wonder was a back alley hobo. Who does that? Besides members of the Stevie Wonder Is Secretly a Back Alley Hobo Society, I mean?
Name any other great stand-up comic, or plain ol' comedian for that matter, and there's a good chance the guys (or guy-ladies) had at least a decade of experience under their belt before the camera ever caught them in action. And none of them, not one, is going to bring you the poetry of the Ice Cream Song and Dance. Which I will do to this day if you give me some ice cream.
Wanna lick??? PSYCH!
#1. Raw -- John Cheese
I was 13 years old when Eddie Murphy released his second standup feature, Raw (also known as "not the red leather outfit -- the blue one"), and it single-handedly changed the way I thought about comedy. In that set, he used the word "fuck" 223 times, which landed it in a spot on top of the hidden porno magazines in every teenage boy's bedroom. It was the crudest stand-up set I had ever seen, and without it, my writing would be much different from what it is today. No one did it better. Not George Carlin. Not Bill Hicks. No one. Raw defined how a feature comedy film should be paced, delivered and edited. It was perfect.
We did feel mildly cheated that he didn't once dance with zombies.
If you ever think about getting into stand-up and you want to see how the masters do it, look up Murphy's story about the time Bill Cosby, whom he had not yet met, called him to give him a lecture about his use of profanity. Or the last 10 full minutes of Raw, where he does an impression of his drunken father that starts off as the vulgar, ridiculous rants of a drunk and then slowly transforms into a surreal landslide of bullshit, which includes his father recounting his childhood where they had to eat cakes made out of Etch-A-Sketches and wear suits made out of Twister mats.
And there was no icing for the cakes.
The man made profanity an art form, but the most impressive part about Raw is that if you take away all of the "fucks," "shits" and "pussies," it's still just as funny. That is the mark of true genius.

6 Important Things You Won't Believe Were Invented in Comics
Comic strips are generally regarded as throwaway entertainment, largely because they exist in such a disposable medium. Most of them end up wrapped around fish or used as emergency toilet paper. Yet for all that, comics have contributed a surprising number of enduring words, phrases, and traditions to modern society. For instance ...
#6. The Words "Goon" and "Jeep" Come from Popeye Comics
Elzie Segar via Rcsinnovations
It turns out that if you've ever been cut off in traffic by some big goon in a jeep, you can lay it all at the feet of one man: Popeye's creator, Elzie Segar. Since the Venn diagram of low-level gang members, jeep owners, and comics historians probably isn't too well-populated, we're guessing that not many people know where those words really come from ... but that's what we're here for.
In 1933, Segar created Alice the Goon, a new villain for Popeye to punch while high on vegetables. Alice was a hulking monstrosity who served as enforcer for Popeye's enemy the Sea Hag, and in fact came from an entire race of Goons.
Elzie Segar via Thecurseandthecure.co.uk
Their abundant pubic hair makes any type of clothing except hats redundant.
The word itself wasn't new: People had been "goons" as a synonym for "idiots" for decades, but Segar's character gave it a second, more sinister meaning. Since Alice the Goon was essentially a hired thug, by 1938, the word was being used in reference to hoodlums hired to break up unions, and that usage persisted -- to the point where today, when someone mentions a "goon squad," it's a cinch that they're talking about crooks, rather than morons.
Elzie Segar via Comicscube.com
The alternative "procurer of male prostitutes for sea witches" meaning never caught on.
But there's more. Three years after Alice first showed up, Segar introduced another bizarre character destined to expand the English language: Eugene the Jeep, a small critter that looks like an awkward-to-produce cross between a giraffe and a dog who can do things like teleport, walk through walls, climb on ceilings, and basically just tell the laws of physics to go fuck themselves.
Elzie Segar via Tvsinopse
It has many powers, not the least of which is having breast fingers.
Eugene the Jeep became a popular member of the highly successful comic strip and cartoons. When servicemen were introduced in 1941 to the new off-road vehicle that could seemingly go anywhere and do anything, they immediately began calling it a jeep, since such a thing seemed about as magical at the time as an omnipotent animal from a higher dimension. A couple of years later, the name was trademarked by an auto company, and it currently belongs to Chrysler.
So the next time someone tells you that jeep comes from "GP" or "general purpose," simply show them this video of R. Lee Ermey calling them morons and explaining what we just told you. That oughta shut them up.
#5. "Yellow Journalism" Was Named After the Yellow Kid
Shitty sensational journalism is a proud hundred-year-old tradition. In fact, some experts pinpoint the exact moment when editors stopped giving a shit about truthful reporting to 1895, when William "Real-Life Citizen Kane" Hearst bought The New York Journal and started competing with Joseph "Winner of Zero Pulitzers" Pulitzer's New York World. The two newspaper magnates vigorously tried to outdo each other with more sensational reporting and less accuracy, probably because dick-measuring contests hadn't been invented yet.
One of the most prominent battles between the two papers (and the one that eventually came to define their whole style of journalism) arose from an unlikely source: The Yellow Kid, history's first successful comic strip character.
Featuring that winning combination of whimsy, racism, and child drunkenness.
Starring in the strip Hogan's Alley by R.F. Outcault, the Kid was a street urchin whose pidgin slang thoughts would inexplicably appear on the yellow nightgown he always wore. His massive popularity in the World did not go unnoticed by Hearst, who dickishly lured Outcault away by offering him his weight in $100 bills.
Undaunted, Pulitzer simply hired someone else to continue the strip in his own paper, meaning that for a while, there were two competing Yellow Kid comics running simultaneously. For comparison, that would be like if Bill Watterson had decided to only let certain newspapers carry Calvin & Hobbes and the other papers brought Garfield's Jim Davis in to do his own blander, shamelessly commercial version.
"He thinks the lasagna is alive. How droll."
As it happened, this fight was raging at a time when people were starting to criticize Hearst's and Pulitzer's shady practices. The editor of another New York newspaper, after trying and discarding the phrases "new journalism" and "nude journalism" as boring and factually inaccurate, respectively, settled on "yellow-kid journalism," later shortened to just "yellow journalism." And all because no one was willing to let go of that little jug-eared bastard. The phrase stuck, and we're still using it today to describe shitty rags that abuse alarmist headlines and exclamation marks.
As for the Kid, his popularity waned, and he languished in obscurity for a century, until Joss Whedon, of all people, revived him for a time-travel story in Marvel Comics' Runaways. And gave him superpowers, because obviously. We're looking forward to his inevitable cameo in the next Avengers movie.
Runaways Vol. 2 #30
Bruce Willis is already clearing his schedule.
#4. One Cartoonist Came Up With the Phrases "For Crying Out Loud," "You Tell 'Em" and More
Sportswriter and comic strip pioneer Tad Dorgan is best known for something he probably didn't do: He's often credited with coining the name "hot dog" for a frankfurter while attending a 1901 baseball game, but it was most likely in existence before then. Clearly miffed about missing the boat on that one, Dorgan overcompensated by going on to invent pretty much every other piece of American slang for the next 20 years.
Dorgan, whose words-per-strip average was somewhere in the low hundreds, is credited with coining or popularizing terms like "hard-boiled," "For crying out loud," "You tell 'em," and "drugstore cowboy," among many others. Here's part of a 1919 strip that might be the first written use of the word "dumbbell" as an insult, as said by a talking dog with spectacles:
Can you feel the historical significance?
A lot of Dorgan's expressions are now outdated, of course -- you're probably not giving a "cake-eater" the "ol' 23 skidoo," or talking about how the movie you just saw was the "cat's pajamas" -- but at the time, they were so popular that one of his jokes, "Yes, we have no bananas," was made into a major hit song during the Roaring '20s.
More recently, Dorgan gained relevance again when Vice President Joe Biden said "That's a bunch of malarkey" on TV (since you apparently can't say "stinking heap of bullshit" in a live debate), thus sending thousands of viewers to the Internet to find out what the hell that is. If they dug deep enough, those people then found that it was Dorgan who first popularized the term in his Indoor Sports strip, although he originally spelled it as "malachy." Here's a detail from the strip:
Ironically, Joe Biden can throw a case of scotch 200 yards.
Who knows ... without Dorgan's contribution to American slang, Biden might have been forced to go with a ruder word or just break a chair on the other fellow.

Flotation Experiment
- Bathtub or sink
- Lightweight objects corks, feathers, plastic lids or caps, sponges
- Heavier objects paper clips, pencils, buttons
Fill the bathtub or sink with water. Set all the objects nearby within your child's reach. The object of this activity is to see which objects float and which ones don't. Some may float for a while and then sink. Some small objects may sink immediately, while some large objects stay floating. Make a guessing game out of it. Before putting the item in the sink, guess if it will sink or float. Ask your child questions: Why do you think this object is sinking? What makes this float? Then notice if the water goes up on the side of the sink when an object is added. Let your child hold each object in his hand, determining if it is heavy or light. Have him hold one object in each hand and say which is heavier.

Disagreements aside, some spoiler notices posted in the latter sections of this thread would be appreciated.
BBC Amercia is still 5-6 episodes behind the brit schedule.
HGervais wrote:Yes I knew that. I think I posted that information in one of the TV watching threads. I'm all for building excitement in the franchise but I can't help but wonder if changing the schedule for Doctor Who is a way to help give Moffat more time to work on his Sherlock series...which as you know was a HUGE hit for BBC this summer and left us with a mother of a cliffhanger.

Enterprise Zones
The Government's 2011 Budget announced proposals for Enterprise Zones (EZ) to promote business growth; the Birmingham & Solihull Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) designated an EZ in Birmingham City Centre in April 2011. The EZ reflects clusters of sites which provide growth opportunities, and is structured to both promote the development of strategic sites and support smaller businesses.
Within the EZ, businesses will be granted a rates discount of up to 100% for a maximum of five years. This will be administered by the local authority then reimbursed by central Government, meaning there will be no direct cost for Birmingham City Council. This will offer a significant saving for many small businesses.
Discounts are limited by EU state aid law, up to a de minimis threshold; the equivalent of approximately £55,000 per year or £275,000 over 5 years. The local authority is required to ensure that businesses do not receive greater levels of support. Each business will receive discounts for five years from the start of its occupancy in the Zone, providing it enters the Zone by April 2015.
Bills for 2012 should be adjusted to reflect this discount. However, if you require further information either in respect of a possible reduction in the amount of Business Rates payable or other benefits of your business being located in the Enterprise Zone, then please contact the Enterprise Zone Team on email@example.com or by visiting www.birmingham.gov.uk/ez

staged or not, what we ultimately see is an unlikely work of surreal art
beautiful composition
Umbrella size in comparison with the tiles of the pavement is noticeably small. I wonder if they really are the pedestrians captured from above!
Nice one!
Sorry, but it looks fake to me. The scale of the umbrellas is wrong when you compare it to the block paving, the tiled edging of the grass, the grass and the bushes. The umbrellas should be bigger.
LOVE Aerial Geometry, especially the contrasting colors and shapes.
LOVE the aerial geometry here, great contrast if colors and shapes.
Love the textures, color and shapes, fascinating, looking down on geometric designs, like great tile art.
I couldn't believe, and looks fake to me... no offence please but this is what I am thinking looking at the photo. Umbrella looks very small compare to tiles on the walkway/pavement. Is this really a a real photo?
Beautiful Snap..!
Very cool.
Nice. But where is the rain?...
Immediately I recognized Milan pavement. Amazing pavement, big pinkish and red granite tiles.
A well staged geometric photo:The umbrellas are too exact, for it not to be. But like I said it takes effort and planning to get any kind of shot. And this one turned out impressive,even without the rain. j.e.s.........
Mankind re-constructing nature into geometry. This is a cloudy day so there are no shadows to make the trees and umbrellas settle into the ground but it is very real. And very artistic.
Pavement is not wet, or is it sunny. Umbrellas open only for the photo. Would've appreciated more if...
Браво Ралица. Много гот :)
Well balanced.
Nice picture ! The view from above is always different !
fantastic.... congrats... :) Sri
Sorry, it somehow does not look real.
Sorry to think about - but looks like umbrellas sizes doesn't somehow fit - hard to believe this is NOT a fake...
love it . congratulation
@Mike Jackson I have seen block paving near Milan Cathedral and size absolutely matches because those blocks are huge. I think the photograph is shoking due to cloudy all mighty all directional light causing no shadows.
@Pareshkumar Chaudhari Out of this, what I find strange is that, even with clouds, you'd expect some shadows somewhere around the umbrellas. They seem to be just on the ground.
show me person walking with umbrela large as elephant... if it's not that size - are the persons underneath dwarfs?

let be the equation $ y-f(x)=0 $ the idea is to get $ s=g(y) $ that is x as a function of 'y'
can this be made by a root finding algorithm ?? i mean you treat $ y $ as a numerical free parameter and find the roots of $ y-f(x)=0 $ in general these roots will depend on 'y' so we can represent every solution of $ y-f(x) $ for different parameters of 'y'
for example in Newton's method
$ x_{n+1} (y)=x_{n} (y)- \frac{y-f(x)}{-f'(x)} $

I'm interested to know what would be best the option from a UX perspective. I have a table in which i need to decide if i should edit each row with inline editing where you can click on each item in the row and edit seperately or all at once with a modal popup.
In-line, and here is why. When you separate the user from what they are doing in a pop up, they lose the connections of items, their detail, and placement. It takes them a few moments to re-orientate themselves.
When a user is separated from the product they take a moment to re-connect all those bits of information in their head and then start.
With in-line editing it is very straight forward.
Adam, that's a great question. However, you are not limited to just 2 options here - inline and popup window. The third option is to have a page to edit/create a record, and also combination of inline+page/popup.
I like Jon's answer a lot.
There is another aspect to be considered - multi-record editing. Clearly, if you want to allow the user to edit multiple records at the same time, the inline method does not work. Consider iTunes, or some other (better) music ID3 tag editor. Sometimes you need to correct the name of a song - inline editing is perfect for that (though you do have the challenge of disambiguating between a click to select the record, a click to play the track, and a click to edit the specific field). Sometimes, you want to select all the tracks in an album and change the genre. For this it's nice to multi-select the rows and then invoke an editor dialog (CMD+I does it in iTunes) where you can then fill in one or multiple fields and only those fields will then be updated for the entire record. (iTunes' implementation of this, while functional, is not immediately intuitive).
From the perspective of the developer, if you have a limited amount of time and can only implement one input method, you need to consider whether you're going to launch with multi-record editing enabled or not. If you will, then opt for the dialog: you take a bit of a usability and performance hit, but you can save yourself a ton of time coding.
I hate to say this, but if we're just sticking to those two ways of handling input, your best bet is to implement them both, and find an intuitive way (better than itunes at any rate) to allow the user to enter into inline editing mode (Microsoft's F2 is the pits too, though at least they're fairly consistent about it), and for the user to enter into multi-record mode.
One last thing to consider: for inline editing to work, you need to have visibility into all fields of the record in your tabular display. If you're allowing your users to hide columns, or are only choosing to show a subset of the editable fields, you have no choice but to implement some kind of editable "detail view".
While inline is preferred, I'd add that it really depends on the type of application and user task.
In my experience, bulk edits are very important for enterprise applications and this is where it helps to get the user to multi-select items and then perform a bulk action. Inline in this case becomes very limiting because it doesn't make repeatable edits easy.
So some questions to consider would be- how big is the table? Is there pagination? different views? What actions would the user most likely and most frequently have to perform on the table data? Are such tables used to present data in other areas of your product?

Did Napoleon Bonaparte ever try capturing what is today considered modern day Israel? Did he ever visit the land independently of capturing it?
In 1799, Napoleon went from Egypt where his bases were, through modern Israel to Acre (Acco) 1799. In Acre he attempted a siege, lost it, and returned to Egypt. Acre was the Northernmost point he reached in Israel.
Napoleon was not in Israel before of after 1799. Other places he passed through in Israel were: Gaza, Jaffa, Haifa, Mount Tabor, River Jordan.
Modern Israel, Egypt, Palestine and Syria were all part of the Ottoman Empire during the time of Napoleon. Under him, the French led an expedition from Malta to Egypt, which later travelled through modern Israel, capturing several port cities on the way.
The answer is then yes, Napoleon tried and succeeded in taking a couple of cities in what is modern Israel, though they were only briefly held and his real objective was to take Egypt.
He did not ever return to the Middle East.
It should be noted that there are several places today in Israel today in which one might find Napoleon's legacy, such as the cannons on Mount Carmel in Haifa pointing towards Acre.
Yes. Napoleon did take several coastal cities in what is today considered modern day Israel. You can read about it here.
Modern Israel (1949–) did not exist during the life of Napoleon (1769–1821).

Éminence Organic Skin Care Celebrates First Anniversary of Inspiring Environmental Initiative
After just one year of partaking in the Forests for the Future initiative, a program to help "restore and rebuild the environment, one tree at a time," Éminence Organic Skin Care has planted an astounding 1.5 million trees around the world.
The Forests for the Future initiative was begun to help counteract deforestation and its effect on climate change. Millions of acres of trees are lost every year to make way for farming, industrialization and human development across the globe. But Éminence is determined to make a difference with this environmentally conscious program that plants a tree for every retail product sold. The 1.5 million trees that the skin care company has planted in the first year alone is enough to generate oxygen for 6 million people.
"We are thrilled to be partnering with Éminence Organic Skin Care for their Forests for the Future initiative, where they plant a tree for every product that they sell. We are dedicated to planting trees around the world to not only support the environment, but to affect change in developing countries by providing guidance for agroforestry with members of each community," says John Leary, Executive Director of Trees for the Future. "Since partnering together in 2012, the donations from Éminence have helped us plant over 1 million trees with communities in such areas as Burundi, Uganda and Ghana. It's an incredible achievement that is changing thousands of lives in developing countries."
According to Boldijarre Koronczay, President of Éminence Organic Skin Care, "Our future is dependent on our actions today. We provide natural and organic products that come from the earth. Without these gifts from Mother Nature, we would be unable to produce our quality products. We are committed to protecting our environment and implementing green initiatives and practices to inspire our partners and customers to think about tomorrow, today."

Sometimes it's nice to put down the chalice, for once, and realize that Bob Marley was not the second coming of Jesus, or a hippie, for Chrissake. He was a flawed man! A new biography tells us just how flawed.
For full background on Bob Marley, please see one of the many fine books about him. There are a lot! The latest biography, Chris Salewicz's Bob Marley: The Untold Story, includes the following examples of Bob's un-Jesus-like behavior, per Robert Christgau's review in Salon:
- Womanizing. Duh.
- Bob "delivered the occasional beatdown" and had thugs on the payroll who did the same.
- He failed to recognize how evil Robert Mugabe was.
- "Salewicz reports [Marley] watched the private executions of three men who'd tried to assassinate him shortly before his 1976 Smile Jamaica concert — a comeuppance that came down a week or so after his 1978 One Love Peace Concert."

Southington football final moved to Monday night
Due to icy conditions leading to safety concerns at West Haven High School and still dangerous travel in the area, the CIAC Class LL football final between Southington and Fairfield Prep has been
tentatively postponed to Monday at 7 p.m. at West Haven.
A decision on whether or not the game will be played on Monday evening will be made no later than Monday morning at 10 a.m.
The winter storm that forced the original postponement of the game on Saturday left ice on the bleachers at West Haven, making the venue currently unsafe for spectators. Many area roads are also still being cleaned, making travel to the game difficult.

Is there a two-handed gun outside of Megaton in Fallout 3? Where can I find one?
Outside of Megaton, to the left behind where the saloon would be (facing in towards megaton) there is a 'hollowed out rock'. I don't think it shows on the pip boy, but if you move your cross hairs over it, it will say something like 'Open hollowed out rock'.
There are 2 or three molerats around, at least at lower levels.
Inside is some food, a note and a sniper rifle with some ammo. Can't remember if there was anything else there.
edit: removed ascii map because I can't make it work :P
check the fallout wiki here: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Hollowed_rock
I'm pretty sure you can find some decent weapons in Springvale school just northwest of Megaton. There's probably a hunting rifle or two, possibly even an assault rifle. It's chock full of raiders, but that's usually my first stop to pick up weapons, ammo, and a bit of loot. If you're careful you shouldn't have to take on more than one or two raiders at a time.
I'm assuming you really mean "where are the closest two-handed guns to Megaton"; see my comment to the question. If so, you don't even have to leave town. Accept Mr. Burke's offer to detonate the bomb, turn him in to Lucas Simms — don't say you're kidding, you'll lose the option of telling him later — and you'll be able to take the sheriff's Chinese Assault Rifle after the scripted sequence.
If you don't care about negative karma, you could also just kill Lucas Simms or Jericho right off the bat; each of them carries a Chinese Assault Rifle. If you do get to loot Lucas Simms's corpse for whatever reason, you'll get his house key; the game doesn't make it clear, but the same key opens the Megaton armory, which contains lots of weapons including some more two-handed guns. Beware, there's also a Mister Gutsy guard inside, and he'll take low-level characters apart pretty easily.
Like everywhere. Hunting rifles and assault rifles are very commonplace everywhere, not just Megaton.

Why Girls Prefer Pink
Aug. 20, 2007 -- Girl's preference for pink may have developed for evolutionary reasons rather than just a passion for fuchsia.
A new study shows that men and women have natural color preferences. Blue is the overall favorite for both, but women prefer a redder or more pinkish shade of blue than men.
Researchers say this predilection for pinker hues may have evolved because of women's traditional role as the gatherer, allowing them to pick out the red, ripe fruit from a sea of green in the forest.
"Evolution may have driven females to prefer reddish colors -- reddish fruits, healthy, reddish faces," says researcher Anya Hurlbert of Newcastle University, England, in a news release. "Culture may exploit and compound this natural female preference."
Proving a Preference for Pink
In the study, researchers asked a group of more than 200 adults to quickly pick their preferred color from a pair of colored rectangles on a computer screen.
"Although we expected to find sex differences, we were surprised at how robust they were, given the simplicity of our test," says Hurlbert.
Although both men and women had a natural preference for "bluish" contrasts, the study showed women's top choices were at the reddish end of the hue circle.
Specifically, researchers found women preferred colors in the reddish-purple region of the color spectrum, while men's preference shifted towards blue-green.
"On top of that, females have a preference for the red end of the red-green axis. And this shifts their color preference slightly away from blue towards red, which tends to make pinks and lilacs the most preferred colors in comparison with others," says Hurlbert.
Researchers say the next step will be to test the color preferences of infants to separate the "nature vs. nurture" element of color preference.
As for the universal preference for blue, "I can only speculate," says Hurlbert. "I would favor evolutionary arguments again here. Going back to our 'savannah' days, we would have a natural preference for a clear blue sky, because it signaled good weather. Clear blue also signals a good water source."

While searching through Mathoverflow, I found out a fourier analytic proof of the Isoperimetric Inequality.Also, by google search I found a fourier analytic proof of Quadratic Reciprocity theorem.I know of the fourier analytic approach used by combinatorialists like Ben Green. But what are the other fourier analytic proofs of some of the well known classical theorems other than what I have mentioned above specially those which admit a starkly different proofs.
Hermann Weyl's delightful proof that for irrational $\alpha$ the sequence of values $k\alpha$ mod $1$, $k \in {\bf N}$, is uniformly distributed in $[0,1]$ deserves a mention. It's so simple I can summarize it here. First we check that for any nonzero $n \in {\bf Z}$ we have $$\frac{1 + e^{2\pi i n\alpha} + \cdots + e^{2\pi in(k-1)\alpha}}{k} \to 0$$ as $k \to \infty$. This is just a simple computation since the numerator is a geometric series. For $n = 0$ the displayed fraction reduces to $\frac{k}{k} = 1$. Since $\int_0^1 e^{2\pi i nx} dx = 1$ or $0$ depending on whether $n = 0$ or $n \neq 0$, it follows that $$\frac{1}{k}\sum_{j=0}^{k-1} e^{2\pi i nj\alpha} \to \int_0^1 e^{2\pi inx} dx$$ for all $n \in {\bf Z}$. Setting $x_j = j\alpha$ mod $1$ and taking linear combinations then yields $$\frac{1}{k}\sum_{j=0}^{k=1} f(x_j) \to \int_0^1 f(x) dx$$ for any trigonometric polynomial $f$, and by straightforward approximation arguments we get the same conclusion, first for any continuous function $f$ on $[0,1]$ and then for $f = \chi_{[a,b]}$. But with this $f$ the left side becomes the fraction of values $j\alpha$ mod $1$ for $0 \leq j \leq k-1$ which lie in $[a,b]$ and the right side becomes $b-a$, so this is just the statement of uniform distribution.
The sign of the quadratic Gauss sum $\tau$ can be obtained from the spectrum of the discrete Fourier transform $\Phi$: the trace of $\Phi$ gives $\tau$, and $\det\Phi$ distinguishes $\tau$ from $-\tau$.
Recall that for an odd prime $p$ the quadratic Gauss sum can be defined by $$ \tau = \sum_{n=0}^{p-1} \zeta^{n^2} $$ where $\zeta = e^{2\pi i / p}$. It is elementary that $|\tau|^2 = p$ and that $\tau$ is real or pure imaginary according as $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ or $p \equiv -1 \bmod 4$. In fact $\tau$ is always $+\sqrt p$ in the former case, and $+i\sqrt p$ in the latter, but this is notoriously tricky to prove.
One trick is to recognize $\tau$ as the trace of the discrete Fourier transform on ${\bf C}^p$, which has matrix $$ \Phi = (\zeta^{mn})_{m,n=0}^{p-1}. $$ Now $\Phi^2$ is the matrix whose $(m,n)$ entry is $p$ if $m+n \equiv 0 \bmod p$ and $0$ otherwise (this is tantamount to discrete Fourier inversion). This matrix has eiganvalues $+1$ and $-1$ with multiplicity $(p+1)/2$ and $(p-1)/2$ respectively. Hence $\Phi$ has eigenvalues $i^k \sqrt p$ ($k=0,1,2,3$) with multiplicities $m_k$ satisfying $m_0 + m_2 = (p+1)/2$ and $m_1 + m_3 = (p-1)/2$, and then $\tau = \sum_{k=0}^3 m_k i^k \sqrt p$. Since we already know $\tau$ up to sign there are only two possibilities: if $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ then $m_0$ or $m_2$ is $(p+3)/4$ and the other three $m_k$ are $(p-1)/4$, while if $p \equiv -1 \bmod 4$ then $m_1$ or $m_3$ is $(p-3)/4$ and the other three $m_k$ are $(p+1)/4$. We are to show that the odd man out is always $m_0$ in the former case and $m_3$ in the latter.
In each case we can decide the correct choice by computing the sign (a.k.a. argument) of $\det \Phi = p^{p/2} \prod_{k=0}^3 i^{k m_k}$. We can do this because $\Phi$ is a Vandermonde matrix, whence $\det\Phi$ has the product expansion $\prod_{0 \leq m < n < p} (\zeta^n - \zeta^m)$. Each factor $\zeta^n - \zeta^m$ is a positive real multiple of $\exp((m+n+\frac12)\pi i)$. It soon follows that $\det\Phi = i^{(1-p)/2} p^{p/2}$ (we already knew $\left|\det\Phi\right|$ because each eigenvalue has absolute value $\sqrt{p}$), and conclude as desired that $\tau = \sqrt{p}$ when $p \equiv 1 \bmod 4$ while $\tau = i\sqrt{p}$ when $p \equiv -1 \bmod 4$.
[This looks like a known but not very well-known argument that is easier to rediscover than to find in the literature. What is the original source?]
There are two very extensive monographs on this subject, more precisely, its relationship to convex geometry: by Groemer (Geometric applications of Fourier series and spherical harmonics) and Koldobsky (Fourier analysis in convex geometry).
Let me speak about the "Triumph of Fourier" according to the words of Laurent Schwartz in his autobiography. The Fourier transformation is a handy tool to characterize regularity of functions.
Let $u$ be a distribution on some open subset $\Omega$ of $\mathbb R^n$. A consequence of the Paley-Wiener theorem is that a point $x_0$ in $\Omega$ is not in the singular support of $u$ whenever there exists a neighbordhood $U$ of $x_0$ such that $$ \forall \chi\in C_c^\infty(U), \forall N\in \mathbb N,\quad\vert\widehat{\chi u}(\xi)\vert\vert \xi\vert^N\in L^{\infty}(\mathbb R^n). $$
That notion can be refined to define the ($C^\infty$) wave-front-set, as a subset of the cotangent bundle (minus the 0 section): a point $(x_0,\xi_0)\in \Omega \times\mathbb S^{n-1}$ does not belong to the wave-front-set of $u$ whenever there exists a neighbordhood $U$ of $x_0$, a neighborhood $V$ of $\xi_0$ on the sphere such that $$ \forall \chi\in C_c^\infty(U), \forall N\in \mathbb N,\quad\vert\widehat{\chi u}(t\xi)\vert t^N\in L^{\infty}((1,+\infty)_t\times V). $$
The wave-front-set (WF) can be used to detect the various directions of singularities: for instance $$ WF(\delta_{0})=\text{\{0\}}\times (\mathbb R^n\backslash\text{\{0\}}) $$ but with $H=\mathbf 1_{(0,+\infty)}$ the Heaviside function, $H(x_1)$ in $\mathbb R^n$ is also singular at 0 but the structure of the singularity is quite different and indeed with $\Sigma=${$x\in \mathbb R^n, x_1=0$} $$ WF(H(x_1))=\Sigma\times\text{\{$0\not=\xi\in \mathbb R^n, \xi_2=\dots=\xi_n=0$\}} $$ which is the conormal bundle to $\Sigma$. The first projection of the wave-front-set is the singular support.
That definition can be extended to Sobolev regularity (spaces based on $L^2$), analytic regularity (more generally Gevrey) and is the only way to express the propagation of singularities for linear waves.

I am trying to run
gedit from an SSH terminal on Windows, connected to an Amazon EC2 instance running Ubuntu 12.04 Server and I am getting this error:
Cannot open display:
How do I fix it?
Since you are using Windows on your side, you will need an SSH-client that runs a local X server on Windows to run graphical applications from the server remotely on your screen.
From experience, I would recommend the free MobaXTerm which has this functionality built-in. Please download it and give it a try:
If you get any errors, that's because sometimes a minimal server image may not be set up to allow X-forwarding into it. In that case, please comment and I'll help you solve it; I've done this with lots of minimal VPSs running Ubuntu/Debian.
So you are connecting from your home pc (let's call it your machine) to a server (let's call it server) via ssh? You want to start a program with a graphical window on the server via your machine? If that is correct than by all means read on.
Let's call the program to start
Window on your machine's screen
If you want to see and use gedit's window on your remote machine but start in on the server, you will want your shell session to look like this:
Don't mind the warnings, they are normal - the gedit window will pop up on your remote machine's screen like it would look on the server. The trick is to use the "-X"-option as in
This assumes that you're using an SSH client that supports X11 and that your server has an X-server running (some without a need for GUIs don't run an X-server). Especially on windows this might be an issue as most windows terminal programs don't have X. As izx stated the MobaXTerm is one of the many SSH clients for windows that has an X-Server though.
For a server lacking X11 however, you'd have to install it.
On the server's screen
You can also start an instance on the screen of your server by calling gedit like this:
You have to substitute the right value instead of
Here the most common scenario for that not to work would be if the Server lacked an X11-Server but than it wouldn't have a monitor connected to it or have no graphical user interface and you'd not be reading this :D.
A bit of theory
I'm no expert in this, but the way I think it works is, that each physical screen, i.e. each monitor connected to an individual computer gets a running number in the form of
This number is assigned by the X-Window-System aka X11. That is a layer to provide a network and basic graphical interface that Unity, Gnome, KDE and the like can build upon.
You can see how many displays a given machine has and what numbers are in use by running
*Note: I suppose there is a better way than this for-loop.
If all else fails
Use a shell text editor.

Let S be the set of all ordinal-definable real numbers and let A(S) be the statement that S is denumerably infinite. If ZFC is consistent, it has been proved (by A. Levy) that it remains consistent if we adjoin A(S) to it as a new axiom-so let us assume that this has been done. Now S has a natural well-ordering inherited from the well-ordering of the class of all ordinal-definable sets. Let O(S) be the ordinal number of this natural well-ordering of S. My question is, how does the size of O(S)-which must be very large indeed-compare with other large denumerable ordinal numbers, such as the smallest non-recursive ordinal number (in the sense of CHURCH/KLEENE) or some of the so-called "admissible" ordinal numbers?
The class HOD consisting of the hereditarily ordinal definable sets is transitive proper class inner model of ZFC, and your assumption A(S) amounts to the assertion that $\mathbb{R}^{\text{HOD}}$, the set of reals of this model, is a countable set in the ambient set-theoretic universe V. The shortest enumeration of this set in HOD, however, has the order type of the continuum of HOD, which we may denote $\frak{c}^{\rm \text{HOD}}$, and this would seem to be (one natural interpretation of) the ordinal to which you are referring.
Although your assumption means that this ordinal is countable in the ambient universe $V$, we may also consider it inside the inner model HOD, where it is simply the continuum. Thus, from the perspective of HOD, the ordinal is very large indeed by the standards that you have mentioned. In particular, HOD thinks that it is much larger than $\omega_1^{ck}$, the first non-computable (non-recursive) ordinal, and also that it is admisssible, and a limit of admissibles and a limit of limits of admissibles, and so on. In particular, it is a cardinal in the constructible universe L, since it is a cardinal in HOD, which contains L.
And once we know that HOD thinks those things, then it follows that our universe V also agrees, since those properties about this ordinal are absolute from HOD to V, since HOD computes the L hierarchy the same as we do in V.
Finally, let me point out that the forcing method allows us enormous flexibility in controlling the precise value of this particular ordinal. Namely, suppose that V is any model of ZFC and that $\delta$ is any cardinal of $V$ with uncountable cofinality and above the continuum. First, by a theorem of Solovay, there is a forcing extension $V[G]$ in which the continuum becomes exactly $\delta$; one simply adds $\delta$ many Cohen reals. Next, by a theorem of MacAloon, there is a further extension $V[G][H]$ not adding any reals in which the reals of $V[G]$ become ordinal-definable in $V[G][H]$; one may do this by forcing to code the individual reals into the GCH pattern high above $\delta$. Finally, we may perform collapse forcing to build a model $V[G][H][K]$ in which $\delta$ becomes countable. If the reals of $V[G]$ were coded into the GCH pattern up high, this last step will preserve those reals as ordinal definable, and it will create no new ordinal definable sets since it is almost homogeneous forcing. Thus, the $\mathbb{R}^{\text{HOD}}$ of $V[G][H][K]$ is the same as $\mathbb{R}^{V[G]}$ and it will have cardinality $\delta$ there. Thus, we have arranged your ordinal to be exactly $\delta$ in $V[G][H][K]$, a model satisfying your assertion $A(S)$. But $\delta$ was an arbitrary cardinal with uncountable cofinality above the continuum in $V$.

Marvin Smith: Remembering A Legend
By Ben Deatherage
(Photo Courtesy of Madman Photography)
Of all the drivers to grace the Cottage Grove Speedway one of the most popular pilots was Marvin Smith. Marvin not only was well liked but he was also a very skilled driver. In his career he would achieve four championships at the Cottage Grove Speedway including the 1990, 1992, and 2005 seasons in the 360 Sprint division and the 2006 Limited Sprint title. He was also the 1990 Coors Silver Bullet Series champion, which was a series that toured exclusively in just the state of Oregon.
Following in the footsteps of his father Lowell, who was also a flagger at Cottage Grove Speedway for a period of time, Marvin started his career sharing a car with his brother Dale. Starting in the Stock Car ranks Marvin eventually would get involved with the Sprint Cars in the 1980's and travel across the Western United States, including running with the Northern Sprint Tour, to some of the biggest races in the country.
Marvin also had the role of car owner on a couple of occasions. He would get involved in Kage Kart racing by purchasing his daughter Kim an entry. In later years Marvin would have his brother Dale drive his Sprint Car. In 2013 he, along with his brother Dale, were inducted into the Cottage Grove Speedway Wall of Fame.
Throughout his career Smith would win a total of sixty-nine features which is second on the all-time win list of the modern era. On July 7th, 2006 he would pull off a rare feat by not only winning the Limited Sprint feature but also the 360 Sprint main event. The final time Marvin would race would be at the Cottage Grove Speedway on July 7th, 2012 for the Scott Bangle Memorial in tribute to his long-time crewman who passed away that year.
During his racing tenure he would have his loyal pit crew standing by him and giving him the best car they could prepare so Marvin could win. In return Marvin never forgot to mention his pit crew members one by one either in victory lane interviews or postseason banquet speeches.
Don't miss the Marvin Smith Memorial Grove Classic this Saturday May 28th and Sunday the 29th. All Ladies eighteen or over get into the races for FREE on Saturday night.

10 Best Family Destinations for Learning Experiences
3 of 11
High Desert Museum, Oregon
In the hip, eco-friendly town of Bend, this unusual learning center offers several living history displays about daily life on the Oregon Trail. Kids get a chance to help with chores and learn to churn butter, split wood and dip candles. There's also a working sawmill from the 1800s and a ranch house to explore. The museum is home to rescue animals native to the Northwest, including bobcats, lynx, falcons, Gila monsters and rattlesnakes. Other more traditional exhibits illustrate the fine arts of the region, the work of fur traders, and the difficulties of life on the Trail.

What kinds of disabilities should be considered when designing a web course?
Universal Design is the best approach to designing a web course. Using this approach plans for disabilities as well as learning preferences by making the content accessible in ways that make it usable by the majority of students. e-Learning Center staff can help you plan for Universal Design in your online course content.
Categories of disabilities that can affect Internet usage include: visual, hearing, mobility, cognitive, and seizure. Web design efforts should either eliminate or minimize information barriers in each of these areas for individuals with disabilities. Some examples include:
- Providing a text equivalent of a graphic (visual)
- Offering a transcript of an audio lecture (hearing)
- Removing the time constraint from an online test (mobility)
- Adopting a consistent uncluttered web site design (cognitive)
- Removing flashing or flickering content (seizure)

Think about the last time you went to book travel online. Do you remember the number of searches you conducted? Options you compared? Transactions you made? You probably are not aware of the terabytes of data you have created from your search that the online travel platform you are using has to process. Like most end users you are just interested in a tool that is easy to use and produces fast results.
Pentaho customer, TravelTainment is very familiar with this use case as a leading provider of software solutions for the travel industry. TravelTainment's solutions are integrated with major international travel portals across Europe such as opodo.de, tui.de, expedia.co.uk and thomascook.fr, as well as thousands of travel agencies in more than 30 countries.
With the continually booming online travel market, TravelTainment's different clients such as tour operators and travel portals, require more insight into their data and reporting to help them plan promotions and other services. Before using Pentaho, the company had acquired a set of legacy systems that had grown around individual products with only limited reporting capabilities. As a result, reporting was inefficient and time consuming for IT.
TravelTainment chose Pentaho Business Analytics for its self-service reporting and ability to manage big data sets. It enables enrichment, reporting, analysis and visualization of TravelTainments very large data volumes in such a way that also non-technical users can easily understand them. With the new solution, the company runs reports three times faster and with more flexibility than before and can now, for the first time, offer its clients user-friendly, self-service and ad-hoc reporting services. This also means that TravelTainment's developer team can fully concentrate on its main business, rather than having to serve as a service desk for reporting.
TravelTainment is using Pentaho for reasons beyond it being open source-friendly. They are using it with their big data environment, which includes Apache Hadoop MapReduce, and for low-latency data access they are using Apache HBase. For detailed data they are using Infobright as an SQL-based self-service interface. They are now planning to use Pentaho Data Integration to easily load, process, and extract data in Apache Hadoop.
"Pentaho Business Analytics fits perfectly into our open source Big Data environment. The outstanding self-service analytics and reporting capabilities help TravelTainment build out expertise and offer better reporting services to our customers."
— Ibrahim Husseini, Director of Data Warehouse, TravelTainment

Punk Noodles

Punk Noodles is a Chinese noodle chain seen in Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
In GTA III, "Chunky" Lee Chong pushes SPANK through a Punk Noodles stand in the pedestrian-only section of Chinatown, until he is killed by Claude on orders from Joey Leone. In GTA Liberty City Stories, Toni Cipriani can work for Punk Noodles as a delivery boy in a side mission using a Faggio bearing the chain's livery. Once complete, Toni will have 25% more health, indicated by a plus (+) to the left of his health bar, and they begin to pay protection money. In GTA III, it has a factory located in Pike Creek, Shoreside Vale, but in 1998, the building is the Holy rev. Joe's Flophouse.
- Punk Noodles is obviously a parody on the name "Pot Noodles", a company that makes instant noodles.
- In the beta of GTA III, instead of the diner, there was a park in its place.
- Punk Noodles is one of the first places you see in Liberty City Stories as it's where Toni gets off the Coach.

(October 8, 2012)--A one-day class slated for Wednesday will teach interested community members how to perform hands-only CPR.
Heart of Texas Regional Advisory Council (HOTRAC), in conjunction with Hillcrest Baptist Medical Center, Providence Hospital, McLennan Community College and Air Evac Lifeteam, will implement the program by holding 10-minute group classes with each group not to exceed 10 people.
Participants will then be encouraged to teach another small group for ten minutes.
According to HOTRAC, the chance of survival decreases by 7 to 10 percent for every minute that follows an incident in which CPR is not given.
On Wednesday, community members are invited to Providence Hospital, outside of the cafeteria, from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m.
Hill Regional Hospital will also be providing the Take 10 Hands-Only CPR sessions from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.
To take part in sessions at Richland Mall, visit the women's Dillards court beginning at 2 p.m.
Residents in West will also have an opportunity to receive the training by visiting the Air Evac Lifeteam at 505 Meadow Drive. Training is throughout the day.
For an evening time, visit First Baptist Church at 501 N. Marable in West beginning at 7 p.m.
To schedule a class on a different day, contact HOTRAC at (254) 202-8740.

Unanswered: Ext Template for question
Hi all,
I wish display a key value in my JSON Object, there is a example
{key} returns empty.
My Ext Template :
<tpl for="kids"> {key} : <tpl for="kids.key"> {name} </tpl> </tpl>
My Json Object :
{ 'kids' : { 'Boys' : { 'name': 'Georges' } } }
I've tried everything, but i can't display the value {key} ( here, Boys ).
I've looking in docs and post topics, but no solutions is available
Any Help ?
23 Nov 2012 2:01 AM #2
Wouldn't that just be {Boys} instead of {key} in your tpl?
23 Nov 2012 2:22 AM #3
My JSON Object is more complex, sometimes it's 'Boys' sometimes it's 'Girls'
I need the key's dynamic value.
23 Nov 2012 2:26 AM #4
How the tpl works is that it tries to match whatever is in {...} (in the tpl) with the data object being passed to it, so you may have to define {Boys} and {Girls} in the tpl then.

Beech Bend Park owner Dallas Jones remains behind bars on a contempt of court charge stemming from the ongoing Beech Bend Road dispute.
Jones and former Court of Appeals Judge Matt Baker have been locked in a legal battle over ownership of a disputed 900-feet section of Beech Bend Road for almost a year.
In August, Special Judge Tyler Gill ordered that the disputed road not be altered in any way until the case is resolved. Tuesday, Gill ruled Jones had violated that order by paving a section of the roadway.
Jones says his construction crew was paving a section of the road inside the park, and ended up with a partial load of asphalt left. Jones says he instructed the workers to spread out the remaining asphalt on the road, but did not intend to violate the order.
In his ruling, Judge Gill said the 30-day jail sentence imposed on Jones was to combat the "growing anarchy" displayed in the case.
Jones' attorneys say they will appeal the decision.

Martin Belam makes an interesting point when he writes The word click will become a generational marker. I was thinking about this – how much longer will the mouse or touchpad be considered essential?

Ralph,Both my proposals are correct XML and should be parsable by any conforming XML parser. Just changing the tags will not work because any text that contains "&", "<", or ">" will still confuse an XML parser.Regards,GregOn May 26, 2009, at 8:25 AM, Ralph Castain wrote:Yo Greg
I'm slow, but it did hit me that there may be a simpler solution after all. I gather that the problem is that the user's output could have tags in it that match our own, thus causing tag-confusion. True?
My concern is that our proposed solution generates pidgin-xml which could only ever be translated by a specially written parser. Kinda makes xml a little moot in ways.
What if we simply change the name of our tags to something ompi-specific? I could tag things with <ompi-stdout>, for example. This would follow the natural naming convention for internal variables, and would avoid any conflicts unless the user were truly stupid - in which case, the onus would be on them.
Would that resolve the problem?

In life, nothing is ever easy...
While the XML output is working well, I've come across an issue with stdout/stderr. Unfortunately it's not just enough to wrap it in tags, because it's possible that the output will contain XML formatting information. There are two ways to get around this. The easiest is to wrap the output in "<![CDATA[" and "]]>". This has the benefit of being relatively easy, but will fail if the output contains the string "]]>". The other way is to replace all instances of "&", "<", and ">" with "&", "<", and ">" respectively. This is safer, but requires more processing.
"Ick" immediately comes to mind, but is hardly helpful. :-)
I am already doing some processing to deal with linefeeds in the middle of output streams, so adding these three special chars isn't -that- big a deal. I can have a test version for you in the next day or so (svn trunk) - I am on reduced hours while moving my son (driving across country).
Let's give that a try and see if it resolves the problem...

Checker and the Derailleurs (Paperback)
Beautiful and charismatic, nineteen-year-old Checker Secretti is the most gifted and original drummer that the club-goers of Astoria, Queens, have ever heard. When he plays, conundrums seem to solve themselves, brilliant thoughts spring to mind, and couples fall in love. The members of his band, The Derailleurs, are passionately devoted to their guiding spirit, as are all who fall under Checker's spell. But when another drummer, Eaton Striker, hears the prodigy play, he is pulled inexorably into Checker's orbit by a powerful combination of envy and admiration. Soon The Derailleurs, too, are torn apart by latent jealousies that Eaton does his utmost to bring alive.

6 Adorable Spider Behaviors You Slowly Realize Are AAAAAHHH!
#3. Jumping Spiders Raving It Up (Then Boning Mid-Air)
Some spiders live their entire lives at an endless, sex-fueled rave. No, we're not talking about X-based tactile hallucinations. Some jumping spiders actually have built-in glow sticks, and they even use them to dance:
"As if dressed for a psychedelic rave, jumping spiders sport glowing patches on their bodies to lure in eight-legged mates, a new study finds."
And it gets better.
"But how?" you ask, "How is being an eight-legged predator that is also basically a living glow stick not the best thing ever?"
Well, easily enthused reader with confusing and frightening life goals, read on: Not only do jumping spiders use this UV dance to attract mates, there's one species that follows up by boning ... in mid-fucking-air. No other species of spider -- or really anything short of birds and nymphomaniacal Hawkmen -- does that. It goes like this: Dude dances, girl dances back a little, dude takes the sign and advances, girl drops a spider line, then they both climb down the sex-rope and begin banging right out in the open air like horny trapeze artists.
Via Akio Tanikawa
No spider porn here -- you'll just have to picture them fucking.
Yep, Portia spiders are the spiders you want to be, if you want a life of partying and glow-arms and Parkour-style aerosex.
Well, if you're a lady Portia, that is.
Because mid-copulation, the female twists around and eats the male, often before he's even finished. So how do they reproduce? Why, she simply harvests and saves his sperm for later.
Via Livescience.com
Let's not get any ideas, ladies.
#2. Cuddling
The whip spider, so named for the two front legs that have evolved into whiplike appendages, looks like a horrifying cross between a crab and Shelob from The Lord of the Rings. So what does this monster use those whips for? To scourge their enemies? To snare prey out of the air? Kinky spider sex? Nope: They use them to pet their children.
Via Wikimedia Commons
Wait, no, we misspelled "AAAHHHGG!"
The whip spider's feelers extend three to six times the length of their bodies, have full range of movement and are "capable of delicate tickle movements." And look: How adorable! The babies like to cuddle their mommies back, too.
Via Fox News
Not many displays of familial love make you itch just by looking at them.
It's not just a necessity of habitat, either. If you take them out of their home environment and put them in any new one, the family will all immediately run back together and start stroking each others' bodies and whips with their feelers. It's a fuzzy-wuzzy image of familial love that most of us have only seen at the end of '80s sitcoms and in stock photos.
Via News.cornell.edu
It's like Thanksgiving, only with human eyes as the entrees.
But of course, when they turn into teenagers, they all hack each others' goddamn limbs off.
#1. Teamwork
Ahhh, teamwork: From roommates tag-teaming the dishes, to good friends helping you move, to families bringing in the groceries together, it's teamwork that best defines us as human beings. You can find teamwork at the heart of every good relationship, every charitable impulse and yes, also in the hideous writhing claws of our spider friends.
Via Texasento.net
Consider your nightmare tax paid in full.
Though cooperation isn't totally unheard of in arachnids, it is a rarity, and Theridion nigroannulatum practically embodies it. This species of spider opts not to go it alone, and instead lives as a nice, big ol' family, just teamworking it up like nobody's business.
Aw, that ...
