Unemployment as a Psycho-Social Stressor during Economic Recession. Well-being in employed vs. unemployed workers in Iceland.
Kallar atvinnuleysi í kreppu fram sálfélagslegan streituþátt? Samanburður á líðan vinnandi og atvinnulausra einstaklinga á Íslandi.
The level of deprivation of latent and manifest functions of employment (Jahoda, 1981) during economic recession and high local unemployment was explored with resulting health-related outcomes. Strain and stress factors in employed vs. unemployed workers were compared, with age as a constant (35-45 years). Results indicated no significant group-differences on latent deprivation, quality of sleep, circadian rhythm, napping or depression; on the other hand, manifest or financial deprivation and health-related quality of life differed significantly among groups of employed and unemployed workers. Locus of control and gender were found to be significant mediators in the relation between stress and strain variables.

Susan Boyle is scheduled to hit Dancing With the Stars, but don't expect her to shake a tail feather. The crooner is set to sing Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah.
The choice isn't likely to cause any last minute drama, unlike Lou Reed's Perfect Day. That track from her new album turned her America's Got Talent visit into more of a nightmare than perfection.
Back in early September, Boyle was set to perform Perfect Day on America's Got Talent, but according to TMZ, Lou Reed is a Boyle-hater and he denied her the right to perform his song. The story went that a heartbroken Boyle ran back to London in tears.
Reps for Reed, however, refuted that angle, saying the denial was simply a clearance glitch. Legally, the song had been cleared for performance in the UK, but not in the States.
Whatever went down, Boyle isn't going to let the AGT drama stop her.
Boyle will take the DWTS stage Tuesday night to perform Hallelujah, with pro dancers and real life couple Jonathan Roberts and Anna Trebunskaya accompanying her.
DWTS isn't anything new to Boyle. She sang her record-breaking hit, I Dreamed a Dream, on the show last November to promote her album of the same title.
Now, the breakout star has another album to promote and it's already a bestseller!
Boyle's new album The Gift goes on sale November 9, but it's available for pre-order on Amazon. When the pre-order was announced a few weeks ago, The Gift immediately shot to number one on Amazon's bestsellers chart!
Tonight, ten celeb contenders will get their Dance on. Teams still in the game are Kyle and Lacey, The Situation and Karina, Brandy and Maksim Chmerkovskiy, Florence Henderson and Corky Ballas, Bristol Palin and Mark Ballas, Rick Fox and Cheryl Burke, Margaret Cho and Louis Van Amstel, Audrina Patridge and Tony Dovolani, and Kurt Warner and Anna Trebunskaya.
Dancing With the Stars airs Monday at 8 p.m. on ABC and the Dancing With the Stars results show with Susan Boyle airs Tuesday at 9 p.m.

The University of California, Riverside, was recognized this week as one of the top 150 universities in the world with the release of the annual Shanghai Jiao Tong University Academic Ranking of World Universities.
Overall, UCR was placed in the 101â"150 range among the 500 ranked schools. The survey, which uses transparent methodology and reliable data and bills itself as âthe most trustworthy precursor of global rankings of the worldâs top 500 universities,â does not provide numerical rankings outside the top 100 schools.
Other highlights included a ranking of 59th in the world in papers published in the publications Science and Nature, with the measurement being taken over a five-year-period. UCR was ranked 78th in the category of âhighly cited researchers,â which takes 21 different subject categories into consideration.
UCR received high rankings in several broad subject fields, including:
76â"100 in life & agricultural science
101â"150 in engineering/computer science
101â"150 in natural sciences and math
In narrower subject fields UCR ranked:
51â"75 in chemistry
101â"150 in physics
151â"200 in computer science.
Earlier this year, UCR was ranked 35th overall in the Leiden Rankings, an annual survey by the Centre for Science and Technology Studies at Leiden University that measures per capita scientific impact.

I'm quite new to java and mxj programming and y try to make a simple opengl GUI drawing linesegments with mouse. That's why i have to translate screencoordinates of an array of segments in opengl coordinates, but when i try to use the screentoworld method like that:
Atom[] a = render.send("screentoworld", new float[] {(float)this.a.xe, (float)this.a.ye, 0.0f}); float worldpoint_a[] = new float[] { a[0].toFloat(), a[1].toFloat(), a[2].toFloat() }; outlet(0, worldpoint_a); //for debugging
i can't recover anything but 0. 0. 0. from outlet 0.
My java class is constructed like the exemple cycling 74 jitgldock and a function bang():
public void bang() {
for (int i = 0; i < Drawn.size() - 1; i++) { sketch.send("reset"); Segment tempor = (Segment) Drawn.get(i); tempor.Display(); } render.send("erase"); render.send("drawclients"); render.send("swap");
and i make the coordinates translation in the Segment.Display() method.
Is there something i do wrong, or special render (jit.gl.render) attributes to set up or a very strict way to do this in order to make the screentoworld translation efficient?

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.
Got it!Was told to "shut up" but he attempted to tell 2nd officer what he saw. 1st officer then cuffed/arrested him..was released same night since has no prior arrests. He is scheduled for a pre-trial intervention & is a college student with no $. Should he ask for a court appt. attorney or just go on his own. He hopes it will be dismissed since there are witnesses that he wasn't involved in the fight. He should have obeyed the "shut up" but had no idea he would would be arrested with no involvement in the fight. He is also scheduled to meet with solicitor but not sure why or what to expect. This was in Fulton County, GA.
He should definitely be represented by an attorney. If he cannot afford an attorney, he should request the opportunity to apply for the services of the public defender.
Whether the prosecutor will elect to pursue the case or agree to a dismissal will depend on how the police officer portrays your son's actions in the incident report and other evidence that may be available to the prosecutor (such as video recordings). He very well may qualify for a pre-trial diversion program that could result in the charge being dismissed and possibly expunged after he meets certain conditions. Eligibility for a diversion program depends on the facts of the case, his record and other factors.
I recommend that he speak with me, or another experienced attorney, if he would like to discuss his case in more detail. If he does not wish to engage the services of a private attorney, he should definitely request the services of a public defender and not try to go through this process alone.
DISCLAIMER: This answer does not constitute legal advice and no attorney client relationsip has been, or will be, created until a valid engagement agreement is signed. No duty arises from this posting. Answers posted here are general and made with limited knowledge of the actual facts of your case. Always speak with an attorney licensed to practice law in your jurisdiction if you wish legal advice specific to your case.
Thank you. Since he isn't a minor and has no income (full time student), will he quilify for a public defender? Also, he is scheduled to meet wit hthe solicitor but not sure why. Should he ask for a public defender first?
If he has no income or assets sufficient to be able to afford an attorney pursuant to the court guidelines, he should qualify. I can't say for sure, but it sounds like he would based on what you have posted. His court appointed attorney would probably not want him meeting with the prosecutor without the attorney having an opportunity to determine if that is in his best interest. Generally, the attorney would be the one negotiating with the prosecutor. I am not sure if you are suggesting that his case is on the court's calendar for a pre-trial conference or if the prosecutor requested a private meeting outside of court. The prosecutor may want to speak with him to get his side of the story or to determine if he would be a good witness against the others charged related to the fight. His attorney would be able to ascertain the purpose of the meeting. Remember this is all general advice, as I do not know the specifics of your son's case.
He asked for a public defender but was instead scheduled to speak with the solicitor...again, have no idea why. At the arraignment (?) after the arrest, he was told he qualified for the Pretrial Intervention and at most would get community service and then charges dropped. He is to meet with the solicitor this week and then the pretrial intervention is July 23. Just don't want him having to pay a fine or even do community service if, indeed, he isn't guilty of the charges. Will tell him to call tomorrow and at the very least verify why he is meeting with the solicitor before he has a public defender. Again, thank you for your help.
It sounds like they are offering him the pre-trial diversion program in Fulton that is done before the case is sent to the prosecutor's office to be formerly accused. His "meeting" may be to show progress on meeting the conditions of the diversion program. If completion of the conditions will result in the charges being dropped and the case expunged from his record, he really needs to think about whether he wants to fight the case or take the deal presented to him. They probably gave him a card with the court date on it. That card may have a number he can call to request clarification regarding the program. I hope it works out for him.
Your statement that your son is "scheduled to meet with the solicitor but not sure why or what to expect" should be indication enough to you that your son needs a lawyer. The prosecutor is not on your son's side and if the prosecutor believed your son should have never been arrested, he/she could have dismissed the case without your son ever having to go to court. If you have the means to help with I would hope you would hire him a lawyer as your son will get much more personalized service from a private lawyer than a public defender. Please contact me if you would like to discuss his case in detail. 404-812-4305.
I agree that an attorney is needed. If you are interested, I answered a very similar question yesterday and discussed the disorderly conduct statute. It can be found in the link below:

10 teams with something to prove in Week 2
South Carolina (Jadeveon Clowney): Overhyped or out of shape? Maybe neither. Regardless, the performance by South Carolina's All-America defensive end and would-be Heisman candidate in the season opener was widely panned. Clowney finished with three tackles and three quarterback hurries against North Carolina, but cameras and critics seemed to focus on his apparent fatigue working against a hurry-up offense in hot, humid temperatures, and fans who'd anticipated more helmet-popping highlights were sorely disappointed. It's more than a little unfair – Clowney wreaked havoc on many plays, even when he wasn't creating Heisman moments or even stats. Sack Aaron Murray a couple of times, force Todd Gurley to fumble, and we'll forget about Week 1.

What's Luck got to do with it?
I'll be doing another talk for Skeptics in the Pub on Wednesday 28th March at The Bootlegger in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire at 8pm. I'll be telling you all about 2006 - the very odd year in which I set out to see if there is a way to prove or disprove the existence of Luck. It took me the whole year to gather enough results to form any kind of a theory and I found myself doing very strange things in the name of 'science':
If that doesn't draw you in (and, let's face it, it probably won't), then I could mention that The Bootlegger always has a good selection of gravity-fed real ales from the nearby Rebellion Brewery in Marlow and OVER 100 bottled beers from all around the world. Plus, it's right opposite High Wycombe train station (Chiltern Railways) and just 40mins from Marylebone! And there will be a great crowd there from the Wycombe SITP group.
That's it. Sales pitch over.

Taylor Momsen: Music Video Vixen
Posted Tuesday April 9, 2013 2:28 PM GMT
Taking care of some career duties, Taylor Momsen showed up on the set of her new music video in New York City today (April 9).
The former "Gossip Girl" starlet looked goth gorgeous as she primped before going before the camera and rocking to a Pretty Reckless track.
When she's not tearing up the stage with her hard rock band, Taylor is hard at work as the face of the Material Girl clothing line.
Hand selected by Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon (she's the head honcho of the company), Momsen recently did photos and video for their forthcoming ad campaign.
Enjoy the pictures of Taylor Momsen filming her new music video in NYC (April 9).

Counter admiral
Naval officer ranks |
Flag officers |
Senior officers |
Junior officers |
Counter admiral is a rank found in many navies of the world, but no longer used in English-speaking countries, where the equivalent rank is rear admiral. The term derives from the French contre-amiral.[1]
In modern navies that use it, rear (counter) admiral is generally, although not always, the lowest flag officer rank (in the German Navy, for instance, Flottillenadmiral ranks below Konteradmiral; in the Royal Canadian Navy, contre-amiral/rear admiral ranks above commodore).
Portugal and Brazil[edit]
In the navies of Portugal and Brazil, the rank of contra-almirante is the lowest of the permanent flag officer ranks. In the Portuguese Navy there is a flag officer rank below that of contra-almirante, the rank of comodoro (commodore), but this is only a provisional appointment, assigned to some captains.
Until the end of the 19th century, the present rank of contra-almirante was named chefe de esquadra (chief of squadron), both in the Portuguese and the Brazilian navies.
Contre-Amiral is the OF-7 rank of the Marine nationale.
Konteradmiral is an OF-7 two-star rank equivalent to the Generalmajor (en: Major general) in the German Army and the German Air Force.
See also:
Former USSR and Russia[edit]
Kontr-Admiral was the lowest flag officer rank of the Soviet Navy and is the lowest flag rank of the Russian Navy, similar to an OF-6 officer.

I had a D&C three weeks ago today for a 12w5d pregnancy and we sent the tissue to be tested hoping for some answers as to what caused the M/C. We received the results yesterday that the "specimen was contaminated", therefore no testing was able to be performed. What does this mean?? How could this happen?
As if the loss of my IP's precious little boy wasn't bad enough, now we'll never know what happened.

OMG how horrible!!
I would definitely look into it further. This is not something that they should be allowed to say "oops, oh well."
I am so sorry your specimen wasn't prepared so you could find an answer to your questions. We had genetic testing on our fetus last April and found it was incompatable with life trisomy 9. It just sucks you will never know.
Are you and your dh going you a genetic counselor or having your own blood tested for chromosomal abnormalaties? It might help. Even seeing a genetic counselor might help answer some questions. Press your doctor for answers on what else can be done to find out what happened.
I bet they wound up testing your tissue rather than the fetus, that seems to be what usually happens when people don't get any result.
You might want to pose your questions up on the genetic board.
Hi Sirell,
I am so sorry you weren't able to get answers but unfortunately this is somewhat common. I had a consult with my RE this week and he said that most often, results come back that they weren't able to get a reading. To actually have an "answer" is more unusual acc to my RE.
My results came back genetically normal female, which means they could have tested my tissue and not the baby's. It stinks, but there are so many unknowns in this process.
I'm so sorry for your and your IP's loss.Nan75 (30); DH (31)
TTC #1; Dx: Unexplained

I am so sorry you did not get more information. I know exactly what you are feeling. I was 14 weeks 4 days when I lost my baby. My results also came back "contaminated." What an awful word. As time has gone by I know that the results would not have changed the way I feel. Regardless of the reason, we have lost our children, and in comparison with the rest of the world, that puts us on the sucky side of the statistics.
I think I remember you from the due date boards when I was pregnant. You are doing a wonderful thing helping women have babies.

Thank you, everyone!
Tracy, just exactly what does "contaminated" mean? Does that mean that someone used something unsterile during the process somewhere? Was the tissue not shipped correctly to the lab for testing? We all just really need some answers here and no one seems able to provide them.
I am so sorry! I know how you feel. I had a D&C in December and waited almost four weeks for results. Finally I called my RE to find out what was going on. He had to call the lab and track it down, only to find out that they never did the testing! They did some sort of test to confirm that there was placental tissue, but nothing else. I was devestated. It's not like they can draw my blood again or something. Once the specimen is gone, it's gone forever! You have trust your doctors and the laboratory so much in this process, and it's just an awful feeling to find out that you've been let down or that something feel through the cracks. I am still upset about it. Knowing the results would not have changed how I felt about the miscarriage, but I really just wanted to know if there was a specific cause and what the odds were that this could occur again, other than the general odds of having a miscarriage.
Hopefully you will never have another miscarriage, but I know if I do, I will be extra diligent about my instructions and following up quickly (or having my DH follow up) to insure that the specimen is tested properly.
I hope that the next time works for you. Good luck!- LouHoo (38); DH (42)

"You want to be Robin." Jaybird considered it. Ever since Ethiopia – the Joker (he still felt a thrill when he remembered beating that green head in) – he hadn't been the epitome of fitness. His arms always hurt – wouldn't hold – his back creaked, and his eyes wouldn't focus for long.

The Bank of England's "emergency" policy of ultra-low interest rates marked its second birthday yesterday when the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee voted for the 24th month to leave rates on hold, and also to keep the £200bn programme of quantitative easing unchanged. The apparent calmness of policy, however, belies what the Bank admits is an "unusually wide range of views" on the MPC, which split four ways in January.
The decision came as further evidence emerged of a strengthening in the manufacturing sector of the economy. Market expectations of a rise of 0.25 percentage points in Bank Rate to 0.75 per cent at the May MPC meeting hardened yesterday, as by then GDP in the first quarter of 2011 will be known, as will the contents of the 23 March Budget. Much attention will focus on the minutes of the MPC session, to be published in 10 days' time.
The Office for National Statistics said yesterday that its index of production showed that manufacturing output rose by 1 per cent in January, more than compensating for December's 0.1 per cent drop. Industrial production more widely, which includes North Sea oil and gas, rose by a smaller 0.5 per cent, reflecting the way households cut back their energy usage after the extraordinarily cold winter. Year on year, manufacturing activity was 6.8 per cent higher than a year ago – the best growth rate since 1994.
Graeme Allinson, the head of manufacturing at Barclays Corporate, said: "It remains somewhat disappointing that we are still seeing little in the way of major capital expenditure or M&A activity amongst Britain's manufacturing sector this year."
Yet the service sector – comprising 70 per cent of the economy – remains much weaker by most accounts. The National Institute for Economic and Social Research, a well-respected independent body, said yesterday that output in the economy more broadly rose a little in February, and by 0.2 per cent in the three months ending in February. However,"the underlying quarterly growth rate of the economy remains below its trend and the output gap is likely to be widening".

I have seen an outrunner used on on an RK fan. I think it was an AXI 2212-26, which I happen a to have a 2212-20 motor sitting around.
Their website shows the fan and motor and details. http://kress-jets.com/outrunner.htm Looks intresting. Chris |

IIRC, from one of the threads here it's operating range is under 30k.
I did have some CD motors for my EDF-50's that spun over 50k. I'm sure it would be easy to make a double to suit this fan perfectly. Just who is going to make a one off for testing? I tried this for EDF-55's and WPF's to great success but my conclusion is that one man's goals are anothers starting point. And on which rotor???? The main motivators in this thread right now are going for a speed goal. Most other alfa users are looking for the perfect compromise with minimal thought process. With most lipo users limiting themselves to 3s, the 2025-5300 is pretty good and not much else compares. 4s+ is still being tracked down. Justin |
I'm just waiting for good weather now. First the maiden then the speed runs. I was skiing today in the rain/snow/slush, came home soaked to the bone. They say Sunday is going to be more clear,.... yeah right.
Trouble with 4S is space, for me anyway. The batteries I can use wont fit but the batteries I cant use will fit. Sux. I'm thinking or removing the battery/radio tray from the F-86 and lowering it so I can use the right packs. Dangerous work though, I could wreck the foam. Chris |
Hello! It rained today so it was a perfect time to go to the AMA show!
My wallet got its butt kicked! Got some stuff to play with now! 2 wemo mini480 units 1 of them with an astro020 in it! a phx castle link cable so I can play with the ESCs on the computer. And (you'll like this)a Neu 1105/2Y motor. Efficiency is over 85%, 5200kv,30Amp rating, 4pole motor. Now I have to debond the mega/2! but 1st I have to test the mega/2 again. I talked at length with a castle creations rep(formerly in tech support)and he said I shouldn't be even close to having a timing problem w/ 6 poles so he gave me a couple things to try, softest cutoff and disable current limiting. also said changing frequency would do nothing. The wemo rotor hub is larger than the alfa like Turbonut said so I'll be using the kyosho rotor for testing. Bruce ps Chris, you can remove the bottom of the cockpit for more room. |
I was looking at that motor, isnt it too large in daimeter to fit?
Do you remember his name? I can believe it would do nothing as he said since it would not work at all for me until I changed the setting. In the end after the software update to both the Castle Link and the ESC it does work but I have yet to return the Freq. setting back to the original default. I still want to do some more runs on the bench and I'll see if its true. Chris |
I guess you're right Chris, The can is slightly larger than the mega and I don't think I can machine the tube any larger than it already is...I'll have to put it in the mini480 or something like the entire stator assembly from the 480 into the alfa, we'll see.
The guys name was Shawn, said he turns a 28pole motor at 30,000rpm! Said he used to be in tech support or something. I had asked him if changing the frequency would help my cutting out problems around 60,000rpm and he said nope! I think you were experiencing a different problem than mine as I had full ampflow all the time. I found my WPF cutdown kyosho rotor at least now I can try that!. |
Hi Guys,
Had an interesting Sunday afternoon reading your thread. I'm messing around with the Mig fitted with a Mini AC 1215/12 and a cut down Wemotec Mini fan 480 impellor with a Jeti 30 advance plus. Ran it with 3s 1750mah and got a good flight but the pack got real hot. Then flew with 4s 2100mah pack and the thing went ballistic. Vertical roll til out of sight !! The ESC then cut, and subsequently totalled the Mig trying to get it back deadstick to the field......car in between model and field stopped it nicely !!! I'm fairly new to all this and you guys seem to be into the mathematical nitty gritty, but I will be interested to hear how you get on !! Sounds like I'm not too far out in my rooky guess work ! Mig number 2 is complete (with Nav lights) but I am waiting for a bigger ESC to arrive. Also got FlightPower EVO20's to experiment with. One 3s 2500 and one 4s 1800. |
Sorry you crashed your MiG. Sounds more like you smoked the motor rather than the ESC just cutting out. Suggest you see if it still runs and if it does you need to check the ampdraw(use 3S to test)My last himax shorted the windings so on 3S it ran but was pulling 35amps instead of 22amps! ie. no good...
I've no experience with the miniACs so can't comment on that. Not sure if the Astro (in a alfafan) can spin at 50-60,000 continously without throwing a magnet. It is a very good motor in the minifan.(30,000rpm or so.) Saw the flightpowerEVOs at the show yesterday, They look awesome! Bruce |
Some good news! 4S Mega16/15/2 w/stock alfa rotor
I disabled the current limiting on the cc phoenix45 ESC and it worked!!!!
WOT and no cutouts! Amp reading after flight and this setup is only drawing 25.1amps! After the pack warmedup it seemed as fast as my (over the limit)2025/5300 on 4S setup. At last I can fly WOT the whole flight! Motor is cool afterward! |
Thats really cool, I'll have to try that then. Only 25A? Interesting.
Yeah, Shawn is a very nice guy, I have known him personally for many years now. Chris |

The Clean Air Act is a lengthy and complex federal law containing many provisions to improve and protect the outdoor air quality in the United States.
It gives the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) the responsibility for setting national ambient air quality standards to protect public health, while giving states the job of determining how best to meet those standards.
The EPA also has the task of developing tailpipe standards for new cars and trucks and national emission standards for many kinds of industrial activities, including those that contribute to acid rain and toxic air pollution.
States, in turn, have the responsibility to ensure compliance with emission standards by industry.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection is the lead agency responsible for implementing the Clean Air Act in Florida. The Department is assisted in this effort by county air pollution control agencies in Broward, Dade, Duval, Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, Pinellas and Sarasota counties.
Note: The federal Clean Air Act should not be confused with the Florida Clean Indoor Air Act, the purpose of which is to protect the public health, comfort, and environment by creating areas in public places and at public meetings that are reasonably free from tobacco smoke.

Desktop Widgets are small applications that provide frequently used functions such as an alarm clock, a calculator, a text box linked to Google etc. They can also decorate the desktop.
On Mac OS, there is a famous desktop widget engine, Konfabulator. It lets users create widgets using JavaScript. On PC, there is a widget engine too, DesktopX. And there is also a Java based platform independent desktop widget scripting engine, DeskBlox. They both are very good commercial software.
This article will describe another way to create desktop widgets on PC using embedded IE browser. It can turn HTML pages, Flash movies, Java applets and ActiveX controls etc. into desktop widgets. Very easy to use and free.
But if opened the normal IE window that has title, scroll bars and thick border as desktop widget, the desktop would look very ugly. Therefore IE must be embedded into a container program to make it look like merged into the desktop. See figure 1.
Figure 1.
But sometimes we do want to see the widget name in window title and access functions from the menus, so we can show and hide the window title similar to the way Windows Media Player does. That is when mouse enters the widget, show title and menu, when mouse leaves the widget then hide them. See figure 2.
Figure 2
On the left, the widget container has the mouse moved in, on the right is the container without mouse.
The white area is the embedded IE browser. Around it there is a light gray border. This is a very important area that acts like a handler to let the user drag or move the widget. Of course, its color can be customized to be the same as that of the desktop to visually hide this area.
Here is the summary of requirements for the container program.
To choose C# to code is not because only C# can do this job, actually it can be done in Delphi and VB6/VC++ as well. Maybe this widget container in unmanaged code is better in terms of deployment. But I happened to have downloaded Borland C# Builder personal version, a very nice tool, and most importantly I found the references for customizing embedded IE browser from Code Project. They are,
By Wiley Technology Publishing
By Nikhil Dabas
These two articles demonstrate how to remove scroll bar and 3D border by implementing the IDocHostUIHandler interface and they have sample code as well.
From the source zip of Nikhil Dabas's article, we can find the required MsHtmHstInterop.dll, but not mshtml.dll. It can be found from the famous RSS aggregator SharpReader's deployment package. Named partial.mshtml.dll, it is a better, compact version of mshtml.dll; good enough to only access the IDocHostUIHandler interface and the IHTMLDocument2 interface.
I have included these two DLLs in the source download of this article. By referencing to them, we can use them like,
using mshtml; using MsHtmHstInterop;
Of course before using them, you should have already created a WinForm with IE ActiveX control on it and some menus...
Next is to implement the IDocHostUIHandler interface on the main form.
public class Form1 : System.Windows.Forms.Form, IDocHostUIHandler { #region IDocHostUIHandler implementation .... #endregion }
The code in the region IDocHostUIHandler implementation is same as the code from Nikhil Dabas's article, except a little difference in function GetHostInfo.
IDocHostUIHandler implementation
void IDocHostUIHandler.GetHostInfo(ref _DOCHOSTUIINFO pInfo) { pInfo.dwFlags |= ( 0x08 /*DOCHOSTUIFLAG_SCROLL_NO*/ | 0x04 /*DOCHOSTUIFLAG_NO3DBORDER*/ ); }
The two magic numbers do all customization tricks we need that are to remove scroll bars and 3D border.
Pretty straight forward, in the mouse enter event show title and menu and in the mouse leave event, hide the title delayed; that means not to hide immediately, but through a timer giving it a 3 seconds to avoid the title disappearing suddenly.
To hide the title and menu is to set new value to the WinForm's Region property. The method also can be used to create irregular shaped window.
#region show / hide title private void Form1_MouseLeave(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { this.timer1.Enabled = true; } private void Form1_MouseEnter(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { showTitle(); this.timer1.Enabled = false; } private void hideTitle() { GraphicsPath gPath = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath(); int hh = (this.Height - this.ClientSize.Height); gPath.AddRectangle(new RectangleF(10, hh, this.Width-20, this.Height-hh-10)); this.Region = new System.Drawing.Region(gPath); } private void showTitle() { GraphicsPath gPath = new System.Drawing.Drawing2D.GraphicsPath(); gPath.AddRectangle(new RectangleF(0, 0, this.Width, this.Height)); this.Region = new System.Drawing.Region(gPath); } private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { hideTitle(); this.timer1.Enabled = false; } #endregion
Here is a simple code to handle a simple pattern.
for (int ii = 0; ii < args.Length && args[ii][0] == '-'; ++ii) { if (args[ii].Equals("-html") && ii + 1 < args.Length) { htmlfn = args[++ii]; } else if (args[ii].Equals("-width") && ii + 1 < args.Length) { try { ww = Convert.ToInt32(args[++ii]); } catch {} } ...... }
It can read parameter value pair in a form of -param value,
e.g. -html clock.htm -width 200 -height 150
We can also use some existing more powerful command line parsing tool, such as
By Ray Hayes
Method used is from,
Concept is to switch the mouse hit to WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN by using Win32 APIs.
#region move window while drag in the client area private void Form1_MouseDown(object sender, System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs e) { ReleaseCapture(); SendMessage(Handle, WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN, HTCAPTION, 0); } public const int WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN = 0xA1; public const int HTCAPTION = 0x2; [DllImportAttribute ("user32.dll")] public static extern int SendMessage(IntPtr hWnd, int Msg, int wParam, int lParam); [DllImportAttribute ("user32.dll")] public static extern bool ReleaseCapture(); #endregion
Up to now we have had all solutions to handle the four major requirements.
You can download the source file to build with Borland C# Builder. In case of using VS.NET, you need to create a project and add the WinForm.cs to the project and set reference to MsHtmHstInterop.dll and partial.mshtml.dll manually.
If you don't want to compile the source, then just open the demo zip and start to create desktop widgets.
After the coding fun, more fun time to create widgets.
-height 240 -width 250 -html html\cal.htm -bgcolor #000080
Repeat for every widget.
Note: usage of command line parameter
I didn't create attractive looking widgets, but just went here to grab two widgets quickly, calendar and clock to prove the concept of this article. If you put pictures and animations into the HTML, the widgets will be more prettier for sure.
IE is the perfect host for desktop widget applications. By tweaking its UI, we created a generic widget container. Next time when visiting http://www.dynamicdrive.com/, http://www.jars.com/ or http://www.flashkit.com/ or many other web sites, if you find interesting DHTMLs, Flash movies, Java applets, ActiveX controls, you then can make them widgets on your desktop using the program in this article. Have fun.

Last week we went to celebrate our friend's daughter 16th birthday. (She had the party with her friends a day before). I was the one who suggested the menu: romanian meatballs on BBQ! This is so good!
I felt bad for the neighbors when I have seen the huge amount of smoke but I have to admit that it wasn't an impediment to have lots of them.
Punishment: one week of only salads after!
As some of you already know I have started a new job recently. I'm steel in the training period especially for the software. This is the only reason that I'm so behind with uploadings or comments. I will try to catch up as soon as I will be more comfortable in my new environment.

These are sobering times for Food & Drink Group, which runs the Jamies watering holes in the City as well as the Henry J Bean's bars. Last year's results bitterly disappointed the stock market. Now it has admitted that the current year is unlikely to offer much solace.
The group seems to have suffered a number of misadventures. No wonder the shares have been subjected to a ferocious pounding. Its City reputation is in tatters and the possible merger or takeover chairman Stephen Thomas alluded to in January appears to be the only way FDG can escape its misery.
Thomas, who also heads the Luminar night-club chain, said the group was "sub-scale" and needed a "substantial corporate transaction". There is gossip, which has been denied, that he intends to take Luminar private. Maybe FDG could head that way, too.
The No Pain, No Gain portfolio alighted on the shares early last year. At that time the company seemed to be doing well. It appeared to have put its unfortunate past behind it and was expanding cautiously. The year's pre-tax profits had emerged at £928,000 and a maiden dividend paid.
The City confidently anticipated profits of more than £1m in the year ended September. And the shares hit 287.5p but then shaded as worries surfaced about consumer spending cutbacks.
Still, in October FDG said trading had been satisfactory with sales up 2.4 per cent and year's results would be in line with expectations. Then it all started to unravel. In December, the figures were delayed because finance director Urvashi Parekh was on compassionate leave. But profits would, confirmed the company, be in line with estimates.
It was, however, a further delay that really set alarm bells ringing. Suddenly it emerged that unexpected costs had been identified and profits would be around the £600,000 mark. In the event they came out at £561,000 (including property profits of £402,000) and, of course, the dividend was scrapped.
Last week came the hardest blow. "Worsening trading conditions" were taking their toll and although things were expected to improve, this year's profits would be "significantly below" stock market hopes which, at one time, were around £1.2m.
So what has gone wrong? The current year was bound to be difficult but it is last year's dismal performance that has caused dismay and seriously damaged the group's City reputation. From October to January, profits went from satisfactory to poor. Parekh has not returned from leave and has resigned. Stephen Smith has taken her place.
With redundancies an everyday fact of life in the City, the group's Jamies bars were clearly under threat in its current year. In the good times, Jamies and other chains increased their City exposure. Now they have fewer customers to tap and those still in work will not be quite so free spending as in the past. Even where job losses are not an influence, the general impact of the credit crisis is likely to hit FDG and other drink retailers.
At one time FDG was known as Hartford. It enjoyed quite a glamorous stock market run with some big-name backers. The portfolio scored when it bid successfully for one of its constituents, a restaurant company called Montana. Its then high-flying shares priced Montana at 340p a share. But the takeover heralded more difficult times. Its shares started a long decline. The portfolio managed to escape at 285p, achieving a £2,800 profit.
If it had accepted Hartford shares it would probably have suffered an even more wounding setback than it is now enduring.
Besides a change of name, FDG's revival included a massive consolidation with one share replacing no fewer than 136.
The shares are now around 32p compared with the portfolio's 241.5p buying price. I cannot, I feel, tolerate another laggard. The portfolio was caught out badly when Lennox shares were suspended and is suffering a substantial loss on Wyatt. So I have decided to wave a not-so-fond farewell to FDG, swallowing a rather unpalatable loss. I can only apologise to any investor who followed the portfolio into such a disastrous investment.
Indeed, the whole affair represents a double whammy. For the £2,800 profit so gleefully banked when Montana, a little Plus-traded company running American-style restaurants, was absorbed, has been comprehensively eliminated by FDG's performance.

Bode Miller is likely done as an Olympian. He tweaked his knee during a giant slalom run and had to withdraw from the finals of that event. The bronze he earned in the super-G is likely his last Olympic event, since he'll be 40 in Pyeongchang 2018.

Oh thank goodness. My life is saved. I, of course, recently bet it on the assumption that more Firefall videos would drop this week, and became quite disconcerted when maniacally grinning mercenaries started showing up outside my house with calendars counting down to Friday. Happily, however, I've been saved by the Dreadnaught, who sounds like the cheeriest of fellows. Bask in his muscular, minigun-toting glory (read: a hail of unstoppable bullets) after the break.
OK, so who's with me in thinking that looked like the raddest thing? I mean, a teleport shot? Followed by an actual, factual, nearly literal thunder dome that forces opponents into closer-quarters combat? And a gravity distortion ability that could – at least, in theory – be used to rain down fire from on high? That's completely wild. Also, he has siege tanks for shoes.
While writing this, I've also realized that me gushing about new classes in these sorts of videos has become A Thing as of late. So, of course, I spent 45 minutes wallowing in shame, tearfully lamenting the fact that my brain's synapses have become frozen – no longer able to form the psyonic lightning that is an original thought. Or just regular old psyonic lightning, for that matter.
But then I realized something: that's not the case at all (I hope!). It's just been a really great year for original class ideas. I mean, people look at games like Call of Duty and think multiplayer shooters have stagnated, but then – here in oft-overlooked PC F2P land – we have Firefall, Tribes, MechWarrior, PlanetSide 2, and tons more pumping out some brilliantly inventive ideas. So hooray! It continues to be an amazing time to be a PC gamer. Just like always. Because our hobby's the best hobby.

Is a Twilight actress dating an American Idol contestant? Apparently so -- Nikki Reed was recently spotted with AI finalist Paul McDonald, according to E! News. We're confused, though -- last we knew, Reed was dating Paris Hilton's ex, Paris Latsis.
The two met at the Red Riding Hood premiere in early March. Cameras were rolling as Reed blushed when she met the singer, fangirl style.
"You're amazing," Reed told McDonald. "I'm blushing, I should go."
McDonald took the compliment with style -- but it turns out he didn't know who she was.
"Was she a famous actress or something? I'd hang out with her!" McDonald asked. Guess he's not a Twi-hard.
The two have been hanging out ever since -- and she's apparently calling McDonald her boyfriend. They've had to pursue a relationship via Skype because Reed's still filming Breaking Dawn in Louisiana and McDonald's in L.A. for Idol.
And it turns out that Reed isn't the only Twilight star with an American Idol love interest. Sources say that Taylor Lautner has been Skyping with finalist Lauren Alaina. Maybe -- another source says it's not true.
"Taylor has only said hello to some of the Idol contestants when he has been in the same room as Nikki when she has been Skyping with her boyfriend. He has not Skyped one-on-one with any of the Idols."
Hmmm...we're thinking there's more to this story. We totally want more Twilight/Idol match-ups so the contestants can do a Twilight-themed night.

By Fred J. Robledo, Staff Writer
South Hills story: South Hills High School softball coach Scott Fisch wasn't too concerned when the Huskies finished the season with a split against Charter Oak, who didn't make the playoffs. The Sierra League is that deep, and so is the CIF-Southern Section Division 3 playoffs, which made South Hills' come-from-behind 9-2 victory over visiting California even more meaningful in Thursday's first round. South Hills (18-7) advances to Tuesday's second round against Lakeside, a 7-6 winner over Mira Costa at a site to be determined by a coin flip.
Notes: Bishop Amat opens day with easy 3-0 win over Paramount; St. Lucy's does it again, knocks off Burroughs 1-0 behind a solid performance from pitcher Danielle O'Toole, who threw a one-hit shutout … Courtney Gano has a big day in Bonita's 8-7 cliffhanger; Britney Rodriguez had two doubles and Syndey La Follette hit a two-run homer in the Huskies' 9-2 win over California and in Duarte's 3-2 loss to Alhambra, Duarte is protesting over Alhambra's alleged illegal pre-game batting practice. Our reporter, Keith Lair covered the game and says Duarte has a strong case…Long Beach Wilson won a thriller over West Covina, 3-2.

Arroyo 1, Immaculate Heart 0
South El Monte 16, West Valley 11, 8 innings
Azusa 11, Mary Star of the Sea 2
South Hills (18-7) advances to Tuesday's second round against either Lakeside or Mira Costa at a site to be determined by a coin flip. California finishes the season 13-11.
"I've been telling our players all year welcome to Division 3," Fisch said. "The Sierra League prepared us for games like this because we've been in games like this all year. When we fell behind, we didn't panic, we had a big inning and that got us going."
South Hills pitcher Sydney La Follette had a big day, throwing a four-hitter with three hits, including a two-run homer in the sixth that iced it.
Junior catcher Britney Rodriguez batted leadoff for the first time this season, Fisch explaining with so many coaches pitching around or walking the UCLA recruit, that he wanted her to have at least one good at-bat.
Well, she had more than that.
Rodriguez doubled home a pair of runs in the fourth that gave the Huskies a 3-2 lead, which was the turning point. Rodriguez added another double and scored twice and Lexi Robles had a pair of hits to lead the Huskies.
"Britney has so much pressure on her, everyone knows who she is and sometimes we rely too much on her," Fisch said. "It was great to see her get that clutch hit, but even better to see so many others step up. We can't rely on one person, that won't do it in the playoffs."
California capitalized on a couple South Hills errors in the first inning to take a 2-0 lead — Samantha Duran and Chloe Michery both scoring.
Ironically, California gave it right back, committing an error in the fourth that led to five unearned runs and South Hills' 5-2 lead.
Vanessa Molina's two-out grounder gave the Huskies' life, reaching first on an error and putting runners on first and third.
Sabrina Perez followed with an RBI single, Rodriguez doubled in two, Robles singled home a run and Sam Nieves doubled home two more.
South Hills added four runs in the sixth, punctuated by La Follette's two-run homer.
The runs came in bunches, something the Huskies did plenty of in last year's postseason run.
"Every time the other team takes the lead and it gets later in the game it's scary," La Follette said. "But my team always has my back and gets clutch hits in key situations."
California pitcher Trish Trujillo went the distance, but gave up 12 hits.

MFC Industrial Completes Acquisition of 100% of Compton
Sep 12, 2012, 07:30 ET from MFC Industrial Ltd.
NEW YORK, Sept. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- MFC Industrial Ltd. (NYSE: MIL) ("MFC ") is pleased to announce that its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary has acquired the remaining common shares (the "Shares") of Compton Petroleum Corporation ("CPC") not already owned by MFC or its affiliates pursuant to a compulsory acquisition under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta). As a result of such acquisition, MFC and its affiliates now own 100% of the issued and outstanding Shares. The total consideration paid by MFC for the Shares under the takeover bid and compulsory acquisition was approximately $33 million. All dollar amounts herein are in Canadian dollars.
• |
As at June 30, 2012, CPC had a book value of $227.6 million. |
• |
CPC had estimated proved and probable natural gas, natural gas liquids and oil reserves of 76,172 Mboe as of December 31, 2011. |
• |
CPC has future tax benefits. |
• |
In addition to its developed properties, CPC also has an undeveloped land bank. |
• |
MFC expects to recognize negative goodwill in its financial report for the period ending September 30, 2012. |
• |
This acquisition expands MFC's global commodities platform and is in line with MFC's investment goals. |
CPC is actively engaged in the development and production of natural gas, natural gas liquids, and to a much lesser degree, crude oil in western Canada.
In recent years, CPC has been experiencing significant liquidity problems, but it has a good asset base and experienced operating personnel. Its financial position had deteriorated because of, among other things, low natural gas prices, the use of short-term debt to finance long-life assets and very high general and administrative expenses.
CPC's principal assets are its resource properties, with total proved natural gas and oil reserves of 50,890 Mboe and total proved and probable natural gas and oil reserves of 76,172 Mboe as at December 31, 2011 as estimated by its independent reserves evaluators, GLJ Petroleum Consultants Ltd. These reserves, being purchased at a discount to book value, represent an important addition to MFC's global commodities and resources platform.

$502.9 million | |
Average production for the six months ended June 30, 2012 |

These figures represent estimated reserves as at December 31, 2011 and do not reflect production, additional wells or property dispositions in 2012, including the disposition of its Bigoray property. Reserve life index was based on then current production of approximately 12,500 boe/d. | |
(2) |
As reported by CPC in its unaudited financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2012. |
The amount attributed to CPC's development and production assets as at June 30, 2012 is based on the estimated recoverable amount of development and production assets by CPC at such time, using a 10% discounted cash flow of reserves by cash generating unit, as determined by external reserves evaluators and a price forecast for oil and natural gas as at June 30, 2012. The net present value should not be considered the current market value of the reserves or the costs that would be incurred to obtain equivalent reserves.
We estimate that, upon being fully tied-in to the production base, additional wells completed in 2012 may increase production by up to 7%.
The following table sets forth selected financial data respecting CPC's financial position as of June 30, 2012 and is based on its financial report for the six months ended June 30, 2012, a copy of which is available under its profile on SEDAR at www.SEDAR.com.
CPC'S SELECTED FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS As of June 30, 2012, all amounts in thousands | |
Book value |
$ 227,573 |
Total assets |
587,819 |
Hedging exposure |
None |
CPC's properties are principally located in the Deep Basin fairway of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin in Alberta, Canada and provide multi-zone potential for future development and exploration.
LAND POSITIONS As of June 30, 2012 |
Southern Plains, Alberta, Canada: |
• 448,000 gross acres with an 87% working interest |
• 270 + developed drilling locations |
Niton, Alberta, Canada: |
• 89,600 gross acres with a greater than 70% working interest |
• 250 + developed drilling locations |
354,993 net undeveloped acres |
In addition to its development and production assets, CPC also holds a land bank of approximately 448,000 gross acres in the Southern Plains area of Alberta, Canada, which provides a multi-year, low risk drilling inventory at 2 to 4 wells per section (i.e. one square mile). This area offers opportunities rich in gas, natural gas liquids and oil and provides upside potential through its multiple zone development opportunities and contiguous land blocks.
The following table summarizes CPC's natural gas and crude oil wells as of June 30, 2012:
WELLS (net interest) As of June 30, 2012 | |
Natural Gas (producing) |
915 |
Natural Gas (non-producing) |
22 |
Crude Oil (producing) |
53 |
Crude Oil (non-producing) |
9 |
Total Wells |
999 |
The above table does not reflect property dispositions made after June 30, 2012, including the sale of its Bigoray property.
Future drilling may consist primarily of infill drilling. We have over 500 potential well locations. Due to the known performance of neighboring wells, the per well development costs, operating costs and production volumes can be estimated with some confidence. As such, gas production from new drilling can be planned in a targeted manner and in light of market conditions.
We also have the ability to shut-in certain producing wells during periods of low market prices, and to re-open such wells during more favorable market conditions.
We may undertake a program of rationalization of wells, including potential acquisitions of other distressed companies or assets or selling or trading individual well interests with other operators to maximize operating efficiencies in the field.
PROCESSING FACILITIES AND INFRASTRUCTURE As of June 30, 2012 |
Callum and Cowley Gas Processing Plant |
McLeod River Gas Processing Plant

CPC has not experienced any significant environmental spills, releases or incidents with any material financial impact. |
It has not experienced any material non-compliance actions, litigation or adverse reputational issues related to environmental regulations. |
Well abandonment and reclamation costs are accounted for in reserve calculations and accrued for in the financial statements. |
All crude oil operations use conventional methods and CPC has no involvement in the Alberta Oil Sands. |
The following table sets forth summary information regarding future tax benefit pools of CPC as of December 31, 2011, along with corresponding annual allowable utilization rates.

MFC will now complete a fair value assessment of CPC and measure the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at their fair value. We expect to recognize negative goodwill arising from the acquisition in our consolidated financial statements for the period ending September 30, 2012.
After the acquisition, MFC plans to move to trend pricing to measure the carrying values of CPC's assets. The trend price method is an acceptable valuation method in the natural gas industry, which reflects anticipated price movements in the foreseeable future, thus reducing short-term cyclical fluctuations.
MFC's initial goals with this acquisition are, amongst other things:
• |
Hedge the acquisition price risk to reduce exposure to the volatility of natural gas prices |
• |
Re-finance CPC's existing bank debt to coincide with the actual economic life of its assets |
• |
Sell non-core assets and reduce general and administrative costs to bring them into line with our future plans |
• |
Rationalize capital expenditures, well operations, and processing facilities to maximize the long-term value of the assets |
• |
Implement an opportunity fund, which will allow strategic investors from Asia to participate in the development of CPC's long-term projects |
Michael Smith, Chairman of MFC, commented: "We are pleased to announce the completion of our acquisition of Compton as this acquisition enhances our investment and strategic growth objectives.

Where applicable, barrels of oil equivalent ("BOE") amounts have been calculated using a conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation.
The natural gas and petroleum reserves contained in this press release have generally been prepared in accordance with Canadian disclosure standards, which are not comparable in all respects to United States or other foreign disclosure standards. For example, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") requires oil and gas issuers, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only "proved reserves", but permits the optional disclosure of "probable reserves" (both as defined in SEC rules). These terms are defined differently under the Canadian and SEC rules. Accordingly, proved, probable and proved plus probable reserves disclosed in this press release may not be comparable to United States standards. Probable reserves are higher risk and are generally believed to be less likely to be accurately estimated or recovered than proved reserves. In addition, under Canadian disclosure requirements and industry practice, reserves and production are reported using gross volumes, which are volumes prior to deduction of royalty and similar payments. The SEC rules require reserves and production to be presented using net volumes, after deduction of applicable royalties and similar payments.
Further, CPC's estimated future net revenue from its reserves are based on forecast prices and costs, whereas the SEC rules require that reserves be estimated using a 12-month average price, calculated as the arithmetic average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the 12-month period prior to the end of the reporting period. As a consequence of the foregoing, CPC's reserve estimates and production volumes in this press release may not be comparable to those made by companies utilizing United States reporting and disclosure standards.
