The commercetools platform HTTP API provides an interface for programmatic access to the data stored on the platform and associated functionality. While the API can be used directly, for experimentation or custom integration solutions, we recommend taking a look at our available client libraries and SDKs, which provide a more comfortable development experience.
In order to provide the best possible Service Level Agreement (SLA) and minimal latency, the commercetools platform API is provided in two different regions: Europe and United States.
These regions are completely isolated from each other and no data is transferred between them.
Platform accounts
Platform accounts created for one region are not valid for the other regions. A signup is required for each region individually:
- Europe:
- United States:
In case you need advice in which region your project should be located, please contact commercetools support.
The commercetools HTTP API is hosted at the following URLs:
- Europe:
- United States:
All requests to endpoints should be prepended with these URLs.
The Machine Learning endpoints use different hosts, which are listed with each endpoint.
Disallowed requests
Requests to the HTTP API are blocked if any of the following conditions are true:
- The combination of request URL and headers is longer than about 15KB.
- The request method does not allow a body, but the request has one.
- The request contains an upgrade header.
- The HTTP version is unknown.
It is strongly advised to use the host and domain names in your applications instead of hardcoding any IP address of the API hosts. IP addresses can change any time without prior notice.
The HTTP API requires a valid authorization token for all requests. For more information, see Authorization.
Some endpoints provide alternative scopes for each API operation. In addition to these, the
manage_project:{projectKey} scope is always implicitly valid. This scope grants full API access for all operations within a project.
The majority of the HTTP API endpoints consume and produce standard
application/json payloads. To ensure that payloads are encoded correctly, use
Content-type: application/json in your HTTP header when sending
POST requests.
When consuming a JSON repsonse, ignore any unrecognized fields encountered in JSON objects of responses, or deal with them in a way that does not cause the client application to crash. The API assumes clients behave properly and considers the addition of new fields to be backwards-compatible with respect to existing clients. In addition, client applications should not rely on the presence of undocumented fields. Fields returned by an endpoint that are documented can be renamed or removed at any time without prior notice.
Some resources contain an
id field which uniquely identifies a resource. The ID is generated by commercetools when creating a resource.
Some resources have a string field
key which also uniquely identifies a resource. The
key identifier is always
assigned to a resource by the client.
Update Guarantees
The API provides different update guarantees for different kinds of requests.
Strong Consistency
Each resource provides read-after-write consistency. Read-after-write consistency means that when you update an entity, wait for the successful response, and then read the same entity, you see the changes you just made.
Eventual Consistency
Some updates are not visible immediately after the update. For example, if you update a discount, updating the discount itself provides read-after-write consistency, but the prices on all affected products are updated after a delay. When you read a price immediately after the discount, you may read an the old value and not the updated one. If you wait a bit, and retrieve the price again, you will read the new value.
Similarly, after updating a product the Product Projection Search index is updated after a delay. If you retrieve a search result immediately after an update, the result may not reflect the updated product. When trying later, the search index will be updated.
These delayed updates provide an
Eventual Consistency guarantee. It means that after a delay, what you can read reflects all past updates.
These delays can vary depending on the amount of data to update. We do our best to keep these delays as small as possible.
Optimistic Concurrency Control
Many API resources use optimistic concurrency
control to prevent lost updates when making changes to existing data concurrently.
These resources have a
version attribute.
When sending (partial) updates to these resources, the expected
version of a resource is sent as a part of the request.
After making an update, the HTTP response body contains the new version of the resource. An API client must wait for the new version before sending follow-up requests.
Background processes and other events can also change a resource's version number without any requests sent from an API client directly to the resource. Do not rely on a consistently incremented version number.
The API does not use
ETag and
If-Match HTTP headers
for the purpose of optimistic concurrency control.
If a version mismatch occurs, the API returns a 409 HTTP status (Conflict) error.
All API access is over HTTPS. API authorization uses ↗ OAuth2 bearer tokens. See the section on authorization for details.
All HTTPS traffic is secured through Transport Layer Security (TLS). The relevant certificates are signed by trusted authorities. At any point in time, we will rely on a trusted root certificate. It is the API user's obligation to keep their systems updated regarding SSL/TLS capabilities as well as trusted root certificates. The server certificate as well as intermediary certificates of the certificate chain are transmitted as part of the TLS handshake.
Please note that it is actually possible to connect to the API via HTTP (without SSL/TLS). You will, however, receive a
404 error including an HTML body response on every attempt.
It is not necessary to actually support the full set of SSL/TLS features listed here (or stop supporting other features), especially the ciphersuites, as long as one valid combination exists. The TLS handshake includes a "negotiation phase" that chooses the best combination that both client and server support.
Be aware that our certificates may at times support more features in transition periods. However, only the specifications listed below are reliable. You must not rely on other SSL/TLS features even if they currently work.
- Ciphersuites:
- Versions: TLSv1.2
Note: With this setup, we are following recommendations for modern compatibility by the Mozilla Foundation. Our API is, however, only bound to what is detailed out above.
Query Features
Common query features include sorting, paging, and reference expansion. Certain aspects of these features are standardized across all parts of the API as described in the following sections.
In order to filter results, Query Predicates allow to express complex queries on many resources.
Single Resource Query Response
Query responses for single resources only return a single, top-level JSON object.
For query responses of requests supporting paging via
limit and
offset, the following common
top-level fields are returned:
offset- Number
The offset supplied by the client or the server default. It is the number of elements skipped, not a page number.
limit- Number
count- Number
The actual number of results returned in
total- Number - Optional
The total number of results matching the query.
This field is returned by default.
For improved performance, calculating this field can be deactivated by using the query parameter
results- Array of results
facets- Object containing FacetResults - Optional
meta- Object containing supplementary information about the results - Optional
A query endpoint that supports sorting does so through the
sort query parameter.
The provided value must be a valid sort expression.
The default sort direction is
ASC. The allowed sort paths are typically listed on the
specific query endpoints.
Here are some examples of sort expressions:
name desc
dog.age desc
If multiple sort expressions are specified via multiple
sort parameters,
they are combined into a composed sort where the results are first sorted
by the first expression, followed by equal values being sorted according to
the second expression, and so on.
Note: The sorting is case sensitive.
Queries on collections of resources can optionally provide paging functionality
limit and
offset query parameters, thereby allowing clients to request
a certain page of the complete query result.
The maximum number of results to return from a query can be set using the
query parameter. Allowed is a value between
1 and
500. The default limit on most query endpoints is
The offset into the results matching the query can be set using the
query parameter. An offset of
0 is the default value indicating that no results should be skipped.
Note: When iterating on all elements from an endpoint (for example to import/export all products), using offset for that is not appropriate:
- when an element is inserted at the same time, request with next offset value might return already processed elements.
- using a large offset can lead to performance problems.
In cases where you want to iterate over all elements while avoiding
offset you can follow this alternative approach instead:
- Query for a limited result in which the elements are sorted by their ID.
- Iterate with the same query, but starting with an ID that is greater than the last ID from the previous step in order to get the next chunk of elements.
The following pseudo-code demonstrates how to iterate on all elements returned by an endpoint, using chunks from 100 elements at each iteration:
Resource Timestamps
Many resources exposed on the API contain the
createdAt and the
lastModifiedAt timestamps.
Those timestamps are automatically set by the server on creation or on modification of the resource. They can be used as predicates and for sorting in queries.
Reference Expansion
Reference expansion is a feature of the resources listed in the table below that enables clients to request server-side expansion of Reference resources, thereby reducing the number of required client-server roundtrips to obtain the data that a client needs for a specific use-case.
Reference expansion can be used when creating, updating, querying, and deleting these resources.
|API Extensions
The JSON snippet below is taken from an
Example-Product representation that contains two references: one to an
Example-Product-Type and one to an
Without Reference Expansion you'll get such a representation as response from the query endpoints.
With Reference Expansion you'll get the expanded objects embedded into the product by an additional
obj field as shown in the following JSON snippet:
All query endpoints that support reference expansion provide an
query parameter which can be used to specify one or more
expansion paths.
Expansion paths define the full path to the reference in a resource. Expansion path format:
refFieldName- expands a reference field named
refFieldNamelocated at the root of the resource
refArrayFieldName[*]- expands all references contained in the array of references named
refArrayFieldName[0]- expands the first reference in the array of references named
objFieldName.refFieldName- expands the reference
refFieldNamecontained in the object
objArrayFieldName[*].refFieldName- expands the reference
refFieldNamein all objects contained in the array
The query for the
Example Product introduced before - including both expansion paths - would look like this:
A more complex example is to expand all categories within a found product.
The expansion path would be:
The query would thus look like this:
The expansion path can also point to references in expanded objects.
Note that expansion of references does not cause requests to fail if not all of the references can be expanded (e.g. because the referenced resource cannot be found). The server will try to expand as much as possible but never beyond what the client requested. It is up to the client to decide which referenced resources it deems critical for completing a specific use-case, e.g. by either treating it as an error or by simply not rendering / returning the missing information.
Data Erasure of Personal Data
In some countries, particularly in the EU, you are required by a law such as the GDPR to erase personal data of a customer on request, also known as "Right to be Forgotten".
A default
DELETE request may not clean up all data, both visible at the HTTP API layer (e.g. personal data may be part of messages) and invisible (the commercetools platform internally keeps logs for some time, to reconstruct data in case of faulty system behavior).
Endpoints that store personal data therefore offer a parameter for
DELETE requests called
dataErasure. If set to
true, the commercetools platform guarantees that all personal data related to the particular object, including invisible data, is erased, in compliance with the GDPR. You are, however, responsible for identifying and deleting all objects that belong to a customer, and deleting them.
The parameter is available for:
Personal data MUST NOT be stored in objects other than the ones listed above.
Partial Updates
For partial updates to existing resources, a common approach used by the HTTP API is
to accept a custom patch format in the form of a list of resource-specific actions that
need to be processed. The request method for partial update requests is usually
PATCH might also be supported in the future.
The general request representation (patch format) of a partial update request is as follows:
id- String - Optional if part of the URL The ID of the targeted resource.
version- Number - Required if the targeted resource is versioned The expected current version of the resource on which to apply the changes.
actions- Array of resource-specific actions - Required
Example Request
The concrete actions that can be used on a specific resource are documented together with the resource.
All actions provided in a specific resource's patch format are generally freely combinable in a single request. Furthermore, such update requests only succeed or fail as a whole, i.e. unless explicitly stated otherwise, the result of all actions sent in the request is applied to a resource or none at all, if any of the actions fail.
Not all updates or state transitions of a resource may be freely composable with one another in a single HTTP request. For those updates, other endpoints may be provided to handle only a specific update or state transition in a single HTTP request.
Correlation ID
A Correlation ID is a unique identifier of a single action or event (such as checking out a cart), allowing to trace the action across multiple systems. For example, a mobile app makes a request to its backend, that backend makes another request to the commercetools platform, and the commercetools platform makes yet another request to an API Extension. If the mobile app sets a Correlation ID, and the backend forwards it to the commercetools platform, it'll also be forwarded to the API Extension. Therefore, the action can be followed through the logs of all four systems.
Correlation IDs are strings that may only contain alphanumeric characters, underscores and hyphens and have a length of 8 to 256 characters. UUIDs can be used to ensure uniqueness.
The HTTP header
X-Correlation-ID is used to propagate the Correlation ID on HTTP requests and responses. If a client does not provide a Correlation ID for an HTTP request, the commercetools platform generates one.
When contacting our support regarding a specific request, please also include the Correlation ID as it allows us to look up the request more quickly.

CONCORD, N.C. — A rope strung over the front stretch at Charlotte Motor Speedway snapped and fell last Sunday, injuring 10 fans, damaging racecars and stopping the 54th running of the Coca-Cola 600 for about 27 minutes.
Fortunately for Nascar, the speedway and Fox Sports, which was responsible for the rope that was used to position an aerial television camera, track officials said no one was seriously hurt. So the main damage was to a showcase event for Nascar.
That has been a theme all season for Nascar, which entered 2013 with high hopes and a publicity blitz for its new Gen-6 racecars, designed to look more like manufacturers' models. They were supposed to improve racing and bring fans back to the sport.
But the talk this season has not been so much about the racecars, or even the races. It has been about Nascar and safety. Or Nascar penalties and appeals. Or Nascar's decisions to fine drivers — or not.
Now it's about Nascar and a rope.
"We always want it to be on the racing action and the drivers and the teams," Brian France, Nascar's chairman and chief executive, said when asked if the focus was where he wanted it this season. "I think we have had great story lines if you look throughout the first part of the year, with different rivalries popping up, very, very close racing action at a number of venues. California in particular was just a spectacularly good event for us."
"That would be our preference," he added, "to have all of the events focus on that."
But the enduring memory of the March 24 race in Fontana, Calif., was the driver Denny Hamlin's sustaining a compression fracture in his lower back after hitting an inside wall and being flown by helicopter to a hospital. Hamlin, a contender for the title, missed four races.
That ended perhaps the best story line of the season: the growing rivalry between Hamlin and Joey Logano. They were battling for the lead on the last lap when they crashed.
Hamlin has since implored Nascar to add steel-and-foam Safer barriers on all walls around tracks, putting the issue of driver safety back in the forefront of the sport's concerns. On Friday at Dover International Speedway, the four-time Cup champion Jeff Gordon joined the chorus, saying he had a difficult week after hitting an outside wall at Charlotte that had no Safer barrier.
The safety of drivers and fans has been a recurring theme. The season-opening Daytona 500 in February was nearly overshadowed by a crash the day before, when Kyle Larson's racecar went airborne, hit the catch fence and sprayed debris into the Daytona International Speedway stands. At least 28 fans were injured.
Add them to the 10 who were hurt at Charlotte last weekend, and it has not been a good year for Nascar fans.
Early last month, the driver Ryan Newman criticized the sport's sanctioning body for its decision to send drivers back on the track at Talladega Superspeedway after a rain delay resulted in a Cup race's finishing in near darkness. Newman, involved in a late-race crash after the restart, questioned Nascar's decision on live television and added: "That's no way to end a race. That's just poor judgment in restarting the race, poor judgment. I mean, you got what you wanted, but poor judgment and running in the dark and running in the rain."
Interestingly, Newman was not fined for his comments. But Hamlin was fined $25,000 in March for a rather mild analysis of the Gen-6 car after the Phoenix race, saying it was difficult to pass.
"I have no idea what drivers can say," said Kyle Petty, a veteran driver turned broadcaster. "I don't think Denny Hamlin said anything wrong. It was a comment, and he was comparing this year to last year and that's his point of reference. It was not negative. I didn't think Denny did anything and he gets fined.
"Then Ryan jumps out and just blasts everybody in earshot about the darkness, about the racing, about everything, and he doesn't get fined. To me, the sanctioning body is like the Supreme Court on pornography: 'We'll know it when we see it.' But they're the only ones that know it because nobody else knows it."
The all-powerful Nascar? Maybe not. In another odd story to this season, Nascar's appeals panel has overruled the organization after major penalties were handed down to Penske Racing and Joe Gibbs Racing in separate incidents in April.
Penske's Brad Keselowski and Logano were cited for illegal car parts at Texas, but their crew chiefs' suspensions were shortened to two weeks from six. Matt Kenseth of Joe Gibbs Racing was found to have an illegal engine part after winning at Kansas, again leading to major fines, suspensions and point penalties. Much of that was reduced on appeal.
"It's something you can have happen over the course of 365 days," said Robin Pemberton, Nascar's vice president for competition, "and we had a 30-day run in there that almost felt overwhelming at times. It beat on all of us a little bit. We just kind of got wore out."
The Texas race on April 13 might have been the nadir for Nascar. It had to answer questions about sponsorship from the National Rifle Association during a heated gun control debate in Congress and after Nascar reached out to support victims of the Newtown, Conn., school shooting. That was followed by Keselowski's scathing criticism after Nascar found the illegal car parts. He was not fined.
There is an upside to Nascar's making headlines so often.
"Some weekends you talk about the spectacular race," Gordon said before the Charlotte races. "Other weekends you are talking about the drama and things that happen off the track. In this world today, with social media and just the Internet in general, I think any kind of buzz is a good thing."

A "well meaning" lady walked over to me during a restorative yoga class the other day. She asked if I was the one who was coughing. I froze. And then she offered me a cough drop. I politely thanked her but declined because all a cough drop does is make me afraid I'm going to choke.
Hi scarrier3 and thanks for your post. Interesting little anecdotal story – glad to hear you were gracious through it all. We do appreciate your input! Leon (site moderator)
Relieved that I am not alone. Constant clearing of throat, cough, worse at times. Pretty much constant cycle of antibiotics and prednisone tapers every couple of months. Three inhalers and singulair. Very frustrating. Where can I buy one of those sweatshirts?
Hi tincansailordeg2 and thanks for your post. I'm sorry to hear the struggles you're having with this cycle of coughing. If it helps, you can rest assured, that here, in our online community, you are not alone!
If you look back in Kerri's article, you'll see there is a link to the sweatshirts you've asked about.
Hang in there!

Sometimes, I wonder why Rioters no longer respond to us, but the answer has become more apparent.
It's really not that they stopped caring (Maybe partially) But it's because boards collectively witch hunt what isnt in their favor. I've been active on boards for about 2-3 years now. And generally speaking, there's a lot of bias. You get people ignoring statistics because they're biased for their main (I actually recently made a post to see how biased boards would get with someone who is doing really good right now and is stat check) It's ridiculous like it really is no wonder why they stopped giving a fuck about boards when half the time we dont even look at stats. Also final note, Most of my posts get derailed because "haha egirl" Legit I have had discussions derailed by them "screenshotting my pool of champions" Like oh it mUST be because she's an egirl and she knows nothing!!!!! No it's because none of the male champions entice me to play them past lv 4 aside from teemo and veigar Fuck these boards sometimes honestly.

What: St. Jude's Children's Hostpial Vinyl Canvas Tote, $32
Why: There's been quite a ruckus this year about canvas totes that do double duty as luxury It bags and environment-friendly finds. And while the Anya Hindmarch-led revolution is a fantastic step forward for fashionable awareness-raising, there are more causes out there that you can champion while supporting your shopping addiction.
Take this vinyl-coated Hindi-print tote from the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital Hope Catalog. One hundred percent of the proceeds from everything sold benefit St. Jude's, one of the world's leading treatment and research centers for children with catastrophic diseases, primarily pediatric cancers. This fashionable black and white damask tote is roomy and waterproof, and, yes, you can fill it with groceries (or your wallet and keys, your day's shopping take, your must-have riding-the-train literature…).
It may not be the year's premiere It Bag, and you may not spot any celebs toting it, but it's a steal at only $32 — perfect for everyone on your gift list — and you can feel good about contributing to a fabulous cause. Now that's something that never goes out of style.

Ok. I have suggested earlier that people try doing the tutorial, and try copying things from other abilities already programed and given an example of that. I am afraid that I don't know where to start with such a general request as "how to set up a script"... What have you tried already and what specifically is giving you trouble?

I think jack-slash is a lot like me on this one, and I probably should've explained this earlier ...
I don't know anything about writing computer code. And I realize that as a result, some of the things possible in the editor will not be so possible for me. I'd like to learn some of that stuff eventually, and for that reason I thank you Lawful_g, for the lengthy and involved post you provided for me, even though I don't understand a word of it yet. As for the tutorial, I didn't see anything there that I couldn't figure out from knowing the game rules and the fact that I've also worked with the M&M data set.
What I am able to do at this point is hit the buttons that give us choices, and fill in spaces for plain text. So I can add in Spells really easy, and some Feats, too. The Feats that give me a problem are the ones with a prerequisite. 'Cause when I hit the prereq button, I can get this selection menu that looks great, but when I choose from it, I must need to type something else with it (before? after? both?).
Like I say, I'd like to learn the advanced steps sometime. But I don't expect anyone on these boards to give me a full-on free computer programming class, either, so if that's ultimately what I need, I'm probably out of luck. What I am most interested in at the moment is maximizing the utility of what I do know how to do, and recognizing what is within that limit and what isn't. Going back to my "Swashbuckler" Grace example, I created something in "Class special" the other day, and still it didn't show on the character sheet. Does this mean a script is necessary? I was thinking (hoping) that a script only really needed if I wanted the program to do the math, when all I was shooting for at this point was a notation.
Thanks again for your help; I hope letting you know where I'm at on the learning curve makes it a little less frustrating to work with me!

Hey there Inviticus, I also am like you and not a programmer. Even if you were though I beleive the scripting language used by the Lone Wolf guys is created by them (If this isnt true, please corect me). that being said I feel your pain. The one aspect of HL that makes it such a great product is also its greatest weakness, that is that it is highly flexible. I run into problems with code all the time trying to create feats or prestige classes. So far I have been able to muddle through using code examples and pulling information from other HL files. I was extremely lost with HL until I attended a training session at Gen Con last year. I attended one this year as well and earned some new stuff. Although Colen showed me how to create a class variant, which I am still struggling with.
But to address the problem you are having, sometimes a solution comes down to coding. If you are having problems, and it sounds like you are, it might be easier to get some one on one information/help. I can offer my meager knowledge for this, but I might not have the module you are working with. But i can most likely work with the code lawful_g has provided. So if you would like I can take a harder look at the class you are trying to create, but I dont want to promise anything.
On a side note, there is a growing amount of user content available that Lawful_g, Brodin, and myself have created. Just check under the Her Labs User forum for details. But I invite everyone to add user content, eventually all of a game systems content will be available for all users. Which in turn should reduce problems people have with creating content.

I know just how you feel Invictus, I started exactly where you are, and you might have noticed that I still clog this forum with questions pestering mghel. Most of all, don't give up, I learned basically everything I know by trial and error or help from others on the forums since I started.
I'll try to give you some basic pointers, and I'll rely on wiser heads to correct me where I am wrong.
You mentioned that you ability "Grace" is not showing when you add the swashbuckler class? I think you might have a problem with bootstraps. Once you have created both the class and the class special, you need to link them so that when you add the Swashbuckler class in HL, it brings the grace ability with it.
The link is called a bootstrap, and you can accomplish it through the editor by highlighting the class you made (make sure it is the class not the class level tab) and then clicking on the Bootstrap button in the upper right. That should bring up boxes, which you type in the unique id for the ability you want to bootstrap (Say, "cSwaGrace" for this example). You can hit the button (Click to add another bootstrap) so you can add other class abilities too. This is the basic way that you build a prestige or normal class, by creating the abilities and bootstrapping them to the class.
For class abilities the level they are added depends on the entry in the class special for "Level Requirement" and that is all you should need for Swashbuckler. In some other cases (usually when a class gains a certain feat at a certain level) you might have to add a Condition to your bootstrap, which I won't go into here, but does much the same thing.

The script used is not custom, at least I don't think. It is XML, which I had never used or heard of before I picked up HL. Here i'll give a detailed explaination of the previous code I provided, and hopefully that will provide some insight for you, Invictus.
var result as number
~ The above tells hero lab that we are going to create a variable named "result" and it is going to be a number. The general formula for this sort of thing is "var XXXX as number" and we can put any non-reserved word in the place of XXXX. If it is reserved, you will get an error later.
if (hero.tagis[Encumbered.Medium] + hero.tagis[Encumbered.Heavy] <> 0) then
result = assign[Helper.SpcDisable]
elseif (hero.tagis[Hero.MedArmor] + hero.tagis[Hero.HeavyArmor] <> 0) then
result = assign[Helper.SpcDisable]
~ The general form HL uses for if/then statements is
"if (some Mathmatical relationship) then
the result
the result is only performed when some Mathmatical relationship is true. You can nest if/thens within each other to make very specific requirements to execute the result, but each of them needs to have it's own "endif" statment. Also not that if you are not nesting them, but performing them in sucession, the 2nd and all others should be "elseif".
The "hero.tagis[Encumbered.Medium]" is important as well. "hero" tells the program where to look (on your hero, obviously), "tagis" specifies that it is checking to see if a certain tag ("Encumbered.Medium" tags referred to in scripts are in []) exists and if so it will return a 1.
result = assign[Helper.SpcDisable] is a command to assign the tag "Helper.SpcDisable" to the grace ability (rendering it non-functional and greyed out), since this is the second part of an if/then it will only be carried out when the first part is true.
"done" tells the eval script to stop whatever it is doing and get out here. It is only safe to use as the second part of an if/then. If you use it outside of there, all code after it will not be read or carried out.
~ Get the bonus based on our level
var bonus as number
var level as number
level = field[xTotalLev].value
if (level >= 20) then
bonus = 3
elseif (level >= 11) then
bonus = 2
bonus = 1
~ Here we set 2 new variables, and defined level based on the value of the field "xTotalLev". Then, depending on what the value of level was, we set the value of bonus. This is a common script you will be using a lot, for just about anything that varies with level.
~ Note that the bonus is a Competence bonus, so I have changed what was previously .field[Bonus] to .field[BonComp]
container.child[vRef].field[BonComp].value = container.child[vRef].field[BonComp].value + bonus
~ Here is where my knowledge gets a little fuzzy and I tend to fiddle around a bit. I am not sure what "container" means but it is the starting point. I think of a "." as sort of an arrow to the next level, so .child[vRef] means "from container go down to vRef" and .field[BonComp].value means "go to the field BonComp and get it's value".
The first part (container.child[vRef].field[BonComp].value) is specifying what we are looking at, and then we set it = to the current value + the bonus we defined before.
There, that completes my little demo. Any questions?

Lawful_g, could you please edit your post to change the:
result = assign[]
statements to use:
perform assign[]
That's the current standard, and I'd rather not teach a new user the old way of doing it.
Also, X = X + Y (like your container[vRef] example, can be replaced with:
X += Y (or -=, *=, /+) to save a bit of typing.
The other usage of var is:
var XXX as string
which tells the compiler you want a string (letters and words) variable. That won't be used as much by the user, but is occasionally needed when you want to generate some text output.
Sorry to hit you again, but as a reminder, competence bonuses in d20 don't stack, so you shouldn't simeply add something to it.
There are macros available to help you with the non-stacking bonuses:
#enhancementbonus[pick, bonus]
#competencebonus[pick, bonus]
#applybonus[type, pick, bonus]
#applypenalty[type, pick, bonus]
In all those cases, pick is the reference of what you want to modify; hero.child[vRef] is the proper way to access the reflex save.
bonus is the new value, and type is the field you want to modify (which sort of thing it is), for example: BonComp, BonEnhance, BonMorale. For the complete list, open up the help page from your editor and go to the "Reference Information" link.
For your competence bonus example, you could either use:

Thank you very much for helping a new user - that sort of help from the more experienced users is what got me through my first data file for Armybuilder.
Other new things in the scripting language:
You can replace:
if (XXX) then done endif
doneif (XXX)
~ If we're not shown, just get out now if (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0) then done endif
~ If we're not shown, just get out now doneif (tagis[Helper.ShowSpec] = 0)
The corresponding code for feats is this:
~ If we're disabled, do nothing doneif (tagis[Helper.FtDisable] <> 0)
In prerequisites, you often need the same sort of thing:
if (XXX) then @valid = 1 done endif
validif (XXX)
The other new convention to cover is that if you have a prerequisite that consists of:
if (XXX) then @valid = 1 endif

Wow. Look at all that info! It's obviously going to take some time to digest it, but the cursory once over sure looks like the kind of thing I was looking to know. Thanks to everyone that has replied since my previous post!

So far i've got 41 Complete Warrior General feats entered and working once all the feats from the book are entered complete they will be available on the website.
As ChiefWeasel has stated there is a growing user content that myself, Lawful_g and Chiefweasel have entered.
The coding techniques used in them are starting points for the weirdness of the splat books!!

You'll find quite a bit of documentation on the scripting language and how to utilize it within the Authoring Kit documentation. It's all in a wiki for easy reference, and much of the above details provided by others will be found in the wiki. Here's a link to the pertinent section within the wiki:

With so many universities in the USA that offer a wide range of courses, it can be an overwhelming task for you to decide on the best universities to apply.
You may have more than one university to apply, but you can attend only one school. It is always better to analyze each university methodically to shortlist your top universities.
You might want to consider the following parameters that influence your selection of best US universities:
Quality of education
The US has one of the world's best education systems. The universities offer excellent programmes in all disciplines they have. A degree from the best universities are recognised world-wide for its excellency.
Read to know, why you should choose USA for higher education.
University rankings
Universities in the US are ranked based on factors like research, student acceptance, placements after graduation, academic reputation and so on. So, you may carefully select the school based on these prime factors.

Top universities in the US: State guide
Tuition fees/ affordability
One major question that stresses your decision making process is about the affordability of the course/programme. The tuition fee at the US universities can be a staggering 5 digit number. It can be rather daunting to pay such huge amounts of fees. You can apply for scholarships, funds or grants, or take a loan to fund your education.
Read to know the cost of education in the US
Cost of living
Cost of living in the US is comparably higher and it depends on the location of your college. The required budget for accommodation, food, books and other expenses may make a total of approximately $60,000. Hence, plan your expenses according to your budget.

On-campus recruitment
Every US university has a career service center which will help you prepare for interviews and getting jobs. Companies in the US will offer you an internship first, and not a job directly, unlike here in India. These career centres typically have a Career Fair, where you would get a chance to drop your resume at a company's recruitment centre.
Internship opportunities
International students are eligible to work for 1 year in Curriculum Practical Training. There are some schools which allow students to work during all the semesters. It is better for students to opt for schools that offer Curriculum Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT).
Read to know how make the best of your time overseas
Campus life and on-campus student experience
Find out if the schools has a residential campus, as living on campus is more affordable than off-campus and is more convenient. On campus facilities include utilities, cable TV, and wireless internet access and other services like laundry, computer labs, exercise facilities, a volleyball court and many more.
Campus infrastructure
The campus infrastructure plays a vital role for a convenient stay at the US. Most of the universities have housing facilities, transportation, fitness centre, safety, health and wellness facilities.
Considering all these parameters to choose a college/university in the US could make your time at the US worth-while and you might end up having the best experience in your lifetime.

Pedestrian Struck, Killed North of Square
Gus Philpott
Woodstock Advocate
December 4, 2007
The after-closing time, Sunday morning, fatal accident on Clay Street, north of the Woodstock Square, is certainly a tragedy. A bunch of friends head to a bar for drinking and leave their cars at home. That's smart.
But then they walk home - in the street. Apparently, walking "with" traffic, rather than against it. Even though there was a sidewalk. "The sidewalk was slick." So what?
This is not meant to excuse alleged drunken driving and leaving the scene of an accident by the driver who hit and killed one man and injured another. But streets are for vehicles. Sidewalks are for pedestrians.
How were the pedestrians dressed? Dark clothing? Hard to see under good conditions. Probably nearly impossible to see by a driver who is believed to have been drinking.
The blood-alcohol content of the driver will be released by the Woodstock Police Department, and the BAC of the pedestrian who died should also be released.
About two months ago, at a monthly Coffee with the Chief, a question was asked about joggers who run in the street. One of the police officers informed the audience that there is a state law against pedestrians in the street if there is a sidewalk available.
The partiers belonged on the sidewalk, slick or not. Or, if they did walk in the street, they should have been walking facing street, not "with" traffic where they would not see vehicles coming up behind them. I wonder if the P.D. charged them with walking in a street. Had they not been in the street, any driver of a vehicle would have passed them by without contact.
At what bar(s) had the partiers been drinking? What was their own state of inebriation? Were they merely walking home, or were they horsing around in the street? And at what bar(s) had the driver been drinking, if he had?

It's a little too late for the sadly defunct Opel Australia, but over in Europe the Astra GTC now sports a more powerful version of its 1.6 litre turbo inline four, taking it even closer to the performance of its bigger brother the Astra OPC.
While the 2013 Astra GTC had 132kW underfoot, the 2014 GTC gets its wick turned up to a respectable 147kW.
Not quite enough for entry to the hot hatch club these days, but still enough power to get the GTC to 100km/h in 7.9 seconds.
The powertrain changes haven't been limited to just power either. Fuel efficiency and refinement have been addressed, with consumption dropping to 6.6 l/100km from the previous model's 7.3 l/100km, and twin balancer shafts smoothing out engine vibrations.
The performance boost strengthens the Astra GTC's position as a warm hatch.
With a similar front independent suspension as the Astra OPC and the same slippery two-door bodyshell, it's the perfect middle ground between the hard-core OPC and the more pedestrian models in the Astra range.
It doesn't come cheap though. In its home market of Germany the 2014 Astra GTC is priced at €25,500 - roughly AU$39,000.
Last year Holden slipped the previous Astra GTC's 132kW turbo 1.6 under the bonnet of the Cruze SRi, so will 2014 see the warm Cruze adopt the new GTC's 147kW mill? We'll have to wait and see.

One of the best inventions of humankind is electricity. The world as we know today is dependant on electricity. Electricity is used in homes, offices, factories and industries. All our gadgets and devices operate on and are charged with electricity. Our lives have become a lot more convenient because of electricity. With all the electrical appliances and gadgets surrounding us, we can accomplish a lot of tasks faster and more accurately than ever before.
While all these sounds good, there are certain things that make electricity dangerous. It can be harmful to your appliances if not handled the right way. There are certain steps that can be taken for avoiding electrical hazards. Some of them are mentioned below.
Get rid of defective wiring
Damaged wiring is a threat to your safety. Most electric accidents happen due to faulty wiring in and around the area. To avoid this kind of electrical hazard, make sure to get durable and water resistant wires for wiring the house.
Use trusted voltage stabilizers
There are voltage stabilizers for all kinds of electric appliances. Make sure to use the best stabilizers for protecting your electrical appliances. A trustworthy stabilizer not just keeps your appliances safe, it accounts for the overall safety of your house. Denen stabilizers are the best stabilizers when it comes to protection from voltage fluctuations and electrical accidents.
Keep electrical outlets out of children's reach
If you have children in your house or neighbourhood, make sure to place electrical outlets in a place which is not accessible to them. As you cannot monitor children's' activity all the time, keeping electrical outlets and other electrical appliances out of their reach is really essential.
Be careful when handling electrical equipment's
Oftentimes you take the initiative to solve minor electrical issues at home. While having a little know-how about handling electrical appliances is really helpful, you need to take extra precaution when handling electrical equipment's. A little mistake on your part can make disasters happen. Be extra careful when handling electrical equipment's and you will be fine.
Proper placement of extension cords
Extension cords help us in getting extra connections in the house. However, mishandling and misplacing of this helpful device can make it a reason for disasters. Electric shocks or accidents happen when extension cords are placed in the wrong places. Make sure to have the extension cords placed in places where there is no chance of tripping over. Also, make sure that you do not use a single extension cord for multiple devices.
With proper handling and precautionary steps, electrical hazards can be avoided. Make sure to follow the above steps and keep your house and appliances safe from electrical hazards.

My wife and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary January 2017. Sue is an Arizona native
and had been a math instructor at Mesa Community College since 1997; she has been teaching since
1986. She retired from teaching in 2015, and now is a freelance digital media specialist.
I am from Mississippi and am a project
manager at Honeywell International, Inc. I have
lived in the valley since 1986. To learn more about Sue, check out her website
at Tech4MathEd.com
Sue and I have always believed we should be helping others, but had not found our niche. We have worked in children's programs and small group ministries over the years, but college students with needs are recurring events in the life
of my wife, both before we married, and in our lives today. We have met abandoned students, destitute single parents, students caring for younger siblings with no parent in sight, along with students in countless other difficult situations. We have provided limited assistance when we have been able. In 2009, we made our effort official with the incorporation of the non-profit organization The North Star Bridge Project. We have many friends who have come along beside us to encourage us and help us move forward. We are eternally grateful for their support.
We have found our North Star…to help you build a bridge to success so you can get some of life's basic needs out of the way and focus on your higher education.
Take time to read The North Star by Peter H. Reynolds. This wonderful children's book is about finding your own path in life. It has been an
inspiration to our family over the years, and is the inspiration behind the
name of our organization. If you have children, you should read it to them. It may quickly become your favorite, too!
The author is a long time friend of Sue's, and has graciously offered to create all
of the artwork for our non-profit, along with standing beside us as our Vice President. To learn more about Peter H. Reynolds and all of the amazing things
he is involved in, please click on the link that will take you to his website: Meet
Peter H. Reynolds
If you are still wondering who we are, I understand. I can give you facts and figures that say a lot, but mean little. Write us if you have questions. We'll answer them as best we can. This organization is our gift to those in need. If
you feel passionate about helping these students as well, we could use your assistance.

Grief works its way out in different ways. I do much of my thinking by talking with friends, then writing it out in a journal. It's not exactly therapy (so don't try sending me the bill after reading this) but it does help clarify things. The events and memories of the last few days will take time to process, to try and understand exactly what was going on from the time Jill suddenly fell sick- and work out what, if anything, I've learned from it all.
Several thoughts are knocking around my head. One is about the conversations with just a few of the hundreds of grateful people whose lives were obviously touched by Jill. Some were helped by her campaigns against sexual violence. On the day of the funeral, many wore something purple, to remember this. Others were just individuals she met who found her a good companion when life was difficult. These encounters might have gone unnoticed, but each was just as significant as the more public things she did.
Another thought came from the world of fantasy, particularly the quivering pen of Mark Gatiss, whose melodramatic script for the last episode of BBC's Sherlock gave his character the following lines:
"Heaven may be a fantasy for the credulous and the afraid, but I can give you a map reference for hell."
That's dark. Gatiss is a horror fan, but that laboured quote possibly sums up the feelings of many people in early 2017- but it's not the whole story. Jim Butcher, another fantasy writer, suggests something different. In 'Blood Rites', one of his characters (a vampire) suddenly exclaims:
"You can have everything in the world, but if you don't have love, none of it means crap," he said promptly. "Love is patient. Love is kind. Love always forgives, trusts, supports, and endures. Love never fails. When every star in the heavens grows cold, and when silence lies once more on the face of the deep, three things will endure: faith, hope, and love."
And the greatest of these is love," I finished. "That's from the Bible."
First Corinthians, chapter thirteen," Thomas confirmed. "I paraphrased. Father makes all of us memorize that passage. Like when parents put those green yucky-face stickers on the poisonous cleaning products under the kitchen sink."
Jim Butcher's point is that Evil cannot handle anything to do with genuine Love. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has never understood it. Most people think St Paul's words from 1 Corinthians refer to marriage because they're often used at weddings, but that wasn't his purpose. Paul was writing to a small community of Christian believers, who were trying to work out what it really meant to be alive and open to what Jesus might be saying to them, in 1st century Corinth. So Paul wrote to them about Love, the real thing that does so much to contain and heal the rampaging effects of Evil.
20 centuries later, those words came back to me at Jill Saward's funeral service, when I saw those people wearing purple. She was an ordinary person who used a horrendous personal experience to do extraordinary things by the grace of God, so Evil didn't have the last word.
To rephrase Mark Gatiss, I wonder if Heaven is actually a place where you'll find the curious, the broken, the forgiving, the courageous and the compassionate- and it doesn't have to wait until we die for any of us to see it. As long as there are people like Jill around, Heaven may be closer than we think. Last Tuesday, I could have given you a map reference for catching a glimpse of it in Lichfield.

Customized theme settings panel
Selection of article formats
Library of all shortcodes (through plugin)
Colour plot variations
Customized widgets
Widgetized footer Places
Demo content and widget settings
Easily add custom CSS
Translation files for easily making a multilingual site

CSSIgniter has additionally created two plugins that are used to bring some of the functionality to the topics and the websites that are built together. This implies that if you do use these features on your website, and decide to modify theme provider later on, you can still keep those elements on your site intact, providing the plugins are still busy.
Using the Themes from CSSIgniter
To try out the functionality of the topics from CSSIgniter, I took the newly published Uberto, that can be described as a beautiful blogging theme for WordPress, for a test drive.
As soon as you've signed up as a client, either for access to a single motif or all 60 topics, the themes you have access to may be downloaded from the member area of the website.
One nice feature I noticed right away was that you can download past versions of a motif.
It is also possible to quickly access the documentation for every theme and get the sample content.
Once the theme has been triggered in your website you can either import the demo content, and in the case of Uberto contains pages and posts, as well as the widget settings, or go straight to the theme preferences control panel to prepare the theme.

CSSIgniter Theme Options Control Panel
The user interface of the motif settings is fairly close to the native WordPress UI, making it easy to use, while also helping it to integrate fairly well into the remainder of the admin dashboard on your website.
During the control panel you get access to the following configurations, although these could vary depending upon the CSSIgniter theme you are using:
Publish logos and favicon
Colour options: choose a color scheme or set custom colors
Display options: excerpts and featured image managing |}
Archive options: number of articles to display
Set up social media integration
Google Analytics, Feedburner, and BuySellAds integration
Insert custom CSS
There is not a whole lot that you could do via the motif options control panel, compared to some feature-heavy topics on the market, but if you appreciate simplicity and a lack of bloat, then those topics will be appealing to you.
The theme settings panel also includes quick links to the documentation and support pages on the website for the subject you are using.
If you do choose to import the sample content, then your site will be populated using a choice of posts, and other content, each with image place holders that will help you to get a better feeling of how the theme functions.
As previously mentioned, one of the common attributes shared with the CSSIgniter themes is the built-in colour variations. These permit you to modify the main colour scheme on your site simply by selecting an option from the dropdown menu.
The motif alternatives for the CSSIgniter themes is user friendly and give you a reasonable quantity of control over how your website appears.
Support, Documentation and Solutions |}
Each theme includes its set of documentation that's stored online. The files walk you through the installation process for the subject and explain how to use it, with additional information on some of the innovative theme-specific capabilities.
In the first instance support is supplied via the members only encourage forums. Just customers can get the forums, making it a location to find questions that have already been answered or post your issues directly associated with the CSSIgniter topics.
There is also a general section with frequently asked questions, reviews, and suggestions for new topics and features.
When browsing the forums it seemed that the topics were responded to fast with helpful answers being submitted by the service staff. But to test the service that I did post a few questions that arose when installing and using their subjects.
Both questions that I posted in the forums have been responded to quickly from the service staff. In 1 instance I was given the essential code to create the changes I wanted, and at the other I had been provided with a URL to the relevant documentation on the website. I was delighted with the timely and helpful responses in both cases, especially considering this took place on the weekend, even outside office hours.

Book Review | Dealing with a Teenager is a nightmare. The moment they a kid lands the teenager tag, they start acting on their own. Sometimes there seems to be no end to their mood swings. But who knows the teenage turmoil and the resulting Teen-aches are more difficult on the Teenager than on the parents!
Two years ago during the summer vacation, my until now calm and lovable daughter declared, "I want to act in films and I have got offers". It was a rude shock for my entire family because she was just 13 and we never imagined she would put her foot down and insist upon pursuing what she described as her ambition, passion and dream. It set off a chain reaction leading to an entire upheaval in my family. I didn't know what had happened at that time. How I dealt with the situation requires a book of my own. But right now, my job is to tell about the book I just finished reading, Sudesna Ghosh's "What Would I Tell Her @ 13".
The book deals with your little daughter turning 13 and entering the most beautiful yet most dangerous 7 years of her life. Ms. Ghosh has done a lot of research and presented us with this interesting book. It has 14 chapters and interviews with 17 eminent women who talk about themselves, about teen-aches, about body image, about peers, about parents, about careers and about sex. You can see these women as the role models for your daughter, based on her choice of career. You can see every one of these women talking about issues a girl @13 starts faces and their ways of tackling the situation.
The book is divided into 13 chapters, and since each chapter deals with a specific issue; let I take one chapter at a time and share with you how reaching 13 affected the lives of these women, and how they tackled the advent to a new phase in their lives.
Chapter 1: Hello Independence deals with the new-found 'Teen' status of a girl, the expectations and reality of a girl. It is followed by the Shikha Uberoi's Story, where the eminent Tennis star talks about her decision to enter the WTA tour and the aftermath. This is an extremely worthy piece by a Tennis star I have admired.
Chapter 2: The Power of Confidence talks about how self-esteem and confidence make a difference in what a 13-year-old will turn out to be as she grows up. Anjali Raina's Story tells us how a 13-year-old who wanted to be writer went on to head the Harvard Business School India Research Center [HBS IRC].
Chapter 3: Discovering Your Voice guides both the parents and the teenaged daughter how to deal with her fears, her ambitions and choice of career. Guide and suggest and do not force your opinions on her is the message. Avantika Akerkar' Story is about a free-spirited girl who found the Indian education system of rote teaching difficult. How she survived it and went on to be a Consultant in transforming human potential is an interesting journey.
Chapter 4: Newer, Bigger Goals describes the 4 kind of students and the ways they respond to success and failure. Meher Pudumjee's Story is the most down to earth story and she has grown up to be the Chairperson of Thermax Limited.
Chapter 5: The First Crush obviously deals with first crush and also the first heartbreak and how to deal with them. Helpful for both parents and the teenager. Malini Agarwal's Story tells the story of the Beauty Blogger , of Ms. Malini.com fame and her life with crushes, bullies and also about 'Catfishing' on social media. Another very informative piece. BTW, a catfish is someone who pretends to be someone else. That's they're using Facebook or other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue deceptive online romances.
Chapter 6: Friendship and Cliques: Explains the reality of cliques in school and college, peer pressure and the final worth of friendship. CNN IBN's Suhasini Haidar's Story is the most friendly of all the stories. I loved the lines, "Love, heartbreak, relationships are words that sound like they last a lifetime. They don't. The friendships and memories do." Suhasini Haider is the daughter of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy , and has surely transformed as a confident, independent adult.
Chapter 7: Staying Safe Offline & Online is a very useful piece on the "dos and donts" for a girl and how parents can monitor her activities without being offensive and Eavesdropping on her. Anjali Sharma's Story deals extensively on staying safe. No wonder it comes from a reputed lawyer.
Chapter 8: Boys Vs Girls is an account on the gender bias prevalent in the country and the ways to deal with it. Komal Sood's Story is the experience and words of wisdom on dealing with gender bias by a hyper successful Fashion designer.
Chapter 9: Everybody wants to be Size Zero gives a scary picture of girls suffering from eating disorders like Anorexia Nervosa and the Size 0 craze. Rashmi Uday Singh's Story urges kids to junk the junk food. Ishi Khosla's Story is an account of an eminent nutritionist about what to eat, when to eat and how to eat.
Chapter 10: Choosing Your Role Models gives a detailed concept of teenagers finding role models from peers to seniors to icons. How kids can pick wrong role models and how to correct the anomaly. A good account. Tanusree Shankar's Story is a hyper-emotional story of the deeply religious Ms. Shankar and her devotion to her art, her family and husband.
Chapter 11: Making Downtime Positive is about How to use spare time and how to develop personality along with ? We get a few tips here. Preeti Vyas's Story is the story of a compulsive travel addict and multi-tasking lady who sells kids' books.
A Special Feature of Fun in the Kitchen with Pooja Dhingra teaches a fun recipe for little girls.
Chapter 12: Discovering Your Inner Compassion exhorts kids to value the life of others. It also asks the elders to appreciate kids for good work done but to reward selectively. Author Rimi B Chatterjee's Story of Demons and Angels in our mind is perhaps the most difficult to understand for a kid though it could be pretty useful for the parent.
Chapter 13: Terrible Tantrums is obviously about the insecurities and tantrums of teen ache. Some ascribe them to be resulting from teenage turmoil as well, where much is happening in the body and mind of the teen. How to deal with them ? Definitely worth imbibing the points here. Sheena Misra Ghosh's Story is sane advice of a Clinical Psychologist on how to deal with tantrums. Very informative piece again.
Chapter 14: Surviving Child Sexual Abuse is perhaps the most important part of this very useful book. Pranaadhika Sinha Devburman' Story is that of a Royal Family kid who suffered multiple instances of child sexual abuse and how she survived. She gives a detailed list of approach to manage a case of sexual abuse.
The 188 pages book ends with "Who's Who", which gives a brief introduction to all the women interviewed by Sudesna Ghosh as part of her research.
But this book isn't without deficiencies. The author has definitely missed out big time when she went on her research work. She has stayed in the Metros or big towns, among the upper middle class, mostly with elite business or military background and those who were fully or partially educated outside India. There isn't a single middle class or lower middle class icon that has come out of the government schools and from poverty ridden background.
It isn't as if we don't have such examples. There are many of them in India. I suspect it was a mistake borne out of the urge to cater to the upwardly mobile groups. But India still is a burgeoning lower middle class nation with over 90% of the girls not having the freedom even to talk to boys of the same age without being haunted by the moral police.
I hope Ms. Ghosh corrects this anomaly with a follow-up on women who have made it big by climbing the ladders from the lower middle class. There also is a little jarring in the form of one of the interviews being all about 'I, Me and Myself' by a lady who had precious little to contribute except talking about herself and how she hated to lose. But again, this piece is necessary to understand what makes snobbery.
Leaving out these minor hitches, with no doubts whatsoever; "What Would I tell Her @ 13" is an extraordinary effort and a fabulous reading stuff. Why? as they say : Women irrespective of their status often undergo the same emotional turmoil. That apart, parents irrespective of their status suffer the same concerns and challenges the moment their little girl steps the 13. I found the book , not deficient in the information it aims to offer : That's how to manage her @ 13 .
I would definitely recommend this to all parents and growing up girls, not only 13 but even older ones. Any one who can understand English, can benefit from it.
My Rating : 4 out of 5 Stars
Editor's Note : I read the book as well. That's why I want to add a little to this review. Many a times we encounter or are blessed with a girl who is not the typical girl stereotype of our society. Since the protective instincts of a father come to fore the moment he sees his girl talking to a boy, that's why most parents in India want to have a girl who walks in the line of her nose. That's no distractions, just Study. Although the notion is not completely misplaced, but not all individuals are the same. As parents one has to respect that individuality. A situation understandably unnerving even for the most loving parents, as they want their daughter to focus on studies for the next seven or eight years, and leave other distractions to a later age. For me ,the book tells parents how to deal with a girl who is conscious about her looks as well. The book offers the idea that it's not difficult to raise a teenage girl who wants to be good at everything. Remember, what you see as distractions today, can be real strengths in her life as an adult. All you have to do is guide her properly during her most confusing years — Her Teen.

THE RED TURTLE. Animated Film. Directed by Michael Dudok de Wit. Rated PG (Mild themes). 81 min.
This is a French-Belgian-Japanese animated film directed by Dutch-British Animator, Michael Dudok de Wit, and it has seven different production companies behind it. Three of the major ones include the famed Japanese Production Company, Studio Ghibli. It is truly a multinational film.
Except for the odd grunt or desperate cry, this fantasy film is wordless, and it won the "Un Certain Regard Special Prize" at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival. It tells the tale of a man marooned on a deserted island who battles a giant red turtle, that gives him reason for living. The movie is creatively visual and aural. A musical score expresses the mood of the film effectively throughout.
A nameless castaway, with no clear identity, struggles to survive after waves from a stormy sea, wash him onto a deserted island. The only clues to the man's past rest in his dreams. In one of his dreams, for instance, he imagines a string quartet playing classical music at low tide, which suggests he is a man with a cultured past. The man builds a wooden raft to try to escape from the island, but the raft is destroyed all the time by a huge, red turtle, swimming in the water, which breaks his raft into pieces, forcing him to return each time to the shore. The film keeps its action to a minimum, as it builds up its allegorical thrust.
The red turtle symbolises the help the man needs to learn to cope with, and pass through, the different stages of life. The island represents the world outside, where, those who inhabit it, are given the opportunity to experience companionship, and eventually find contentment and love.
When the man is unable to use his raft to get away and gives up, the turtle follows him to shore, and lies in the sand. The man attacks the turtle in frustration, and leaves it upside down to die on the beach. Guilt-ridden about what he has done, the man relents and tries to revive it. The turtle magically turns itself into another form that gives deep meaning to the man's future life.
The film is all about the struggle to find happiness, to hold onto hope, and to find the will to survive. With the help of the red turtle, which symbolises change to come, the man finds a female companion and together they raise a family. The movie as a whole is anchored to the trials, tribulations, challenges, and joys of human life. Beginning with the isolation and loneliness of a ship-wrecked person, one man is given the opportunity to develop into a better human being, and the red turtle is the means of helping him to become that person, and to find the strength to be a loving husband and father. While this happens, a cast of crabs frolic in the sand, and a bale of turtles stand guard to watch over what the man is trying to do, and to protect him.
The Director of the film (Michael Dudok de Wit) combines Studio Ghibli's style with Western computer techniques, and makes wonderful use of Japanese animation. Ghibli images are typically drawn very simply, and the film uses hand-painted scenes to create the feel of extraordinary sharpness of colour and form. Variations of a single hue (especially green and blue) often fill the entire screen. The same technique was used in the 2015 Ghibli film, "When Marnie was There", and this film, like that one, makes exquisite use of silhouettes, sharp-edged contours, and vivid images - sometimes drawn just in black, white, and grey. The use of "shadow animation"' is a special feature of the film, where animated figures project long shadows to dramatise the effects.
This is a highly imaginative film, that is extraordinarily creative, and rich in metaphorical significance. The maturity of its themes might make the movie more suitable for older viewers than for younger ones, but its images are ravishing, its direction is masterful, and the tale the film tells is inspirational. This is a film not to be missed.

A few months ago, I downloaded this Xbox360ControllerDriver, which I believe it was the .11 Version and was working fine by the time.
Recently, I bought a new wired Xbox 360 controller, thinking that it would be the easiest and fastest to hook up with the iMac. When I first plugged in the controller into the computer, the Xbox360ControlllerDriver recognised it very well. Although, the program I was trying to use the controller with didn't recognised it at all, which led me to download the new version of the Driver, the .14 version.
After downloading and installing the Driver, I've got the following error:
`Preferences Error: Could not load XBox 360 Controllers preference pane`
Obviously doing this was not the solution; I downgraded to de previous version of the Driver, the .11 version which did not give positive responses and upgraded back to the .14 version. After several failed attempts, I started a research on how make it work with the Yosemite. Turns our I did the opposite.
Somehow by surfing in the internet, I found what appeared to me the solution to my problem, which include some terminal codes like
sudo nvram boot-args="kext-dev-mode=1" and
sudo kextcache -m /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches/Startup/Extensions.mkext /System/Library/Extensions
Without success, after applying all the previous codes and rebooting the computer for several times and also deleting the previous version of the software before installing the new one and more, I come to you wise people hoping for a solution.
