- (A3 1.16) forceWeaponFire is no longer only limited to units, but can remote aircrafts weapon firing as well. Passed source unit should be the correct one who controls the weapon, if passed mode is "this", use the weapon name instead:
_weapon = (weapons _veh) select 3; _mode = (getArray (configFile >> "cfgweapons" >> _weapon >> "modes")) select 0; if (_mode == "this") then {_mode = _weapon;}; (driver _veh) forceWeaponFire [_weapon, _mode]; //Force a CAS fire a rocket.Currently this command is not available for land vehicle remote fire.

Last Month at the Federal Circuit - April 2006
Judges: Justice Stevens delivered the unanimous opinion of the Court. Justice Alito took no part in the decision.
In Illinois Tool Works Inc. v. Independent Ink, Inc., No. 04-1329 (U.S. Mar. 1, 2006), the Supreme Court ruled that the mere fact that a tying product is patented does not support a presumption of market power. The Court vacated the judgment of the Federal Circuit and remanded for further proceedings. Trident, Inc. and its parent, Illinois Tool Works Inc. (collectively "Trident"), manufacture and market printing systems that include a patented printhead, a patented ink container, and a specially designed but unpatented ink. Trident sells its systems to original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), who agree that they will purchase their ink exclusively from Trident, and that neither they nor their customers will refill the patented containers with ink of any kind. Independent Ink, Inc. ("Independent") developed an ink with the same chemical composition as the ink sold by petitioners. Independent filed suit against Trident seeking a judgment of noninfringement and invalidity of Trident's patents, and alleging that petitioners were engaged in illegal tying and monopolization under §§ 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act. 15 U.S.C. §§ 1, 2. After discovery, the district court granted Trident's motion for SJ on the Sherman Actclaims. It rejected Independent's submission that Trident necessarily had market power in the market for the tying product as a matter of law solely by virtue of the patent on their printhead system, thereby rendering the tying arrangements per se violations of the antitrust laws. Finding that Independent had submitted no affirmative evidence defining the relevant market or establishing Trident's power within it, the district court concluded that Independent could not prevail on either antitrust claim. On appeal, the Federal Circuit reversed the district court's decision as to Independent's § 1 claim, finding that it ran contrary to a long chain of Supreme Court decisions. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Federal Circuit, concluding that the mere fact that a tying product is patented does not support a presumption of market power. The Court noted that "[o]ver the years . . . this Court's strong disapproval of tying arrangements has substantially diminished. Rather than relying on assumptions, in its more recent opinions the Court has required a showing of market power in the tying product." Slip op. at 5. The Court further explained that the view that tying arrangements may have legitimate business purposes and be procompetitive ultimately prevailed in its jurisprudence. It thereby described the presumption of market power as "a vestige of the Court's historical distrust of tying arrangements." Id. at 8. As the Court explained, the presumption that a patent confers market power arose outside the antitrust context as part of the patent misuse doctrine, which provides a defense to patent infringement when a patentee ties the purchase of unpatented goods to the sale of a patented good. The presumption that a patent confers market power then migrated from patent law to antitrust law in International Salt Co. v. United States, 332 U.S. 392 (1947). In 1988, Congress amended the Patent Code to eliminate the patent-equals-market-power presumption in the patent misuse context. See 35 U.S.C. § 271(d)(5). The Court noted that although the 1988 amendment only expressly refers to the patent misuse context, and not to the antitrust laws, the amendment "certainly invites a reappraisal of the per se rule announced in International Salt." Slip op. at 12. The Court reasoned that if Congress intended to eliminate the presumption in the patent misuse context, it would be absurd to maintain the presumption under the antitrust laws, which can make the conduct at issue a federal crime punishable by up to ten years in prison. The Court further stated that "given the fact that the patent misuse doctrine provided the basis for the market power presumption, it would be anomalous to preserve the presumption in antitrust after Congress has eliminated its foundation." Id. at 13. Thus, the Court concluded that while some tying arrangements involving patented products "are still unlawful, such as those that are the product of a true monopoly or a marketwide conspiracy, . . . that conclusion must be supported by proof of power in the relevant market rather than by a mere presumption thereof." Id. Independent further argued (i) that the Court should endorse a rebuttable presumption that patentees possess market power when they condition the purchase of a patented product on an agreement to buy unpatented goodsexclusively from the patentee, or (ii) that the Court should recognize a presumption of market power when a tying arrangement involves the purchase of unpatented goods over a period of time, a so-called "requirements tie." The Court rejected both of these proposed alternatives, concluding that "the lesson to be learned from International Salt and the academic commentary is the same: Many tying arrangements, even those involving patents and requirements ties, are fully consistent with a free, competitive market." Id. at 16. The Court elaborated that "Congress, the antitrust enforcement agencies, and most economists have all reached the conclusion that a patent does not necessarily confer market power upon the patentee." Id. The Court therefore held that in all cases involving a tying arrangement, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant has market power in the tying product. It then remanded the case to allow Independent an opportunity to develop and introduce evidence defining the relevant market and proving that Trident possesses power within it.

And I have no pics to show (just yet...). I took a few on my dslr so maybe eventually ill make the time to upload them. We got literally JUST an inch. I was a little bummed it wasn't more but thankful at the same time bc K has to work regardless.
"Quick" recap from the weekend and update one Savannah Jane's sleep...
Friday and Saturday she slept till 5:30am and 4:30 am! (From about 11 the night before!) this was the most sleep we had seen since the first couple of months of her life. Both nights she slept in the swing. Sunday and Monday night she was up quite a bit as she was back in our room. Trying to decide if its our room or just the swing ;) -tonight she is back in the swing. She went down around 9:30p and was up at 11:30p-ish and I nursed her. She didn't go riiiight to sleep but she finally did fall back asleep without a fight. Almost like she was in a trance! (Again- in the swing).
Oh and Raleigh Grace has been so sweet as always- We had bible study today. Came home and was getting lunch ready when I hear Raleigh Grace in the other room " one two, this is the truth, God loves me and God loves.... SISSY!"
Melt my heart sweet girl!
Helping with dinner! She loves to help cook, clean, etc! :)
Double bath time. Always fun!
Sadly, Savannah Jane is still yanking on that ear! We go back Thursday for her SIX MONTH well visit and he will check her ears again! (Yes, she's now EIGHT months. Eek! Too many sick visits- we are finally getting in for a well one!)
And both girls napped AT THE SAME TIME today for... Get this... THREE HOURS (Savannah Jane) and FOUR HOURS (Raleigh Grace!). I was able to clean up, make some lunch, SIT DOWN to eat it, and make this matching shirt for Savannah Jane for valentines day!! :) I ha already made the one for Raleigh Grace ;) .
Yesterday (Monday) Raleigh Grace and I went to the park because it was 60° hehe
Sunday (26th): We went to our church for the first time as a family since Savannah Jane was born! It was wonderful! We ate at Panda Express and k surprised Raleigh Grace with a (cold) trip to the park! It was a beautiful but chilly day!
Savannah Jane turned 8 months old and also cut her FIRST TOOTH!!!!!!!

Two points on this : 1) If you have a big installation, and you share one instance of Velocity across all of your webapps via Tomcat's lib, you are asking for trouble, I think. I can't see much benefit to that other than desire to avoid multiple copies of the jar. If that is the case, and you want to keep your webapps partitioned, then use the separate instance runtime (which I think you are doing, Bojan). If *that* is the case, then I think you are safe, as nothing is a singleton in the separate instance, your servlet holds the reference to it, and when your servlet is recycled on the classloader change, then you let go of the refrerence to the vel runtime, and get a new one. All is well. 2) I still think we are adding unnecessary complexityh re the per-classloader dumping. KISS. geir On 9/9/01 9:29 PM, "Attila Szegedi" <email@example.com> wrote: > Hmm.

How long have you been at Saatchi and what is your main role?
I've been working with SAATCHI since '99 when it was based at Boundary Road. Given my main role as a director of exhibitions and acquisitions, I've been lucky enough to work on some amazing shows and collaborate with some inspiring artists.
What is it about the Saatchi gallery that defines you above other galleries?
I think that the Saatchi gallery has a particular knack of showing work that is visually arresting and compelling to look at, which engages visitors and urges them to find out more about it, and the contemporary art scene in general. We never just show work which needs any intellectual justification – we show work that requires an open eye and an open mind so that you can make your own decisions on it.
Frieze is around the corner, what does it represent to you?
Frieze is important in that London becomes an international epicentre for contemporary art along with every collector, gallery, artist, curator, advisor … for us it opens up fresh dialogues and hopefully discovering new artists that we will later show at the gallery.
For Frieze you will be opening the first female only show – 'Champagne life'.
Can you tell us a little about it?
'Champagne Life' takes its title from one of the works on display by the artist Julia Wachtel. The title used by Julia is originally taken from a song by the R&B artist Ne-Yo. It suggests prestige and affluence, qualities that have led to champagne being appropriated into Hip-Hop culture as a gauge of success. But when applied to this exhibition, which showcases the work of 14 emerging women artists, the irony becomes apparent, throwing into contrast the many long, lonely hours these artists spend in their studios with the perceived glamour of the art world.
Julia Wachtel, Champagne Life, 2014
Alice Anderson, Bound, 2011
Soheila Sokhanvari, Moje Sabz, 2011
What were your reasons for running an only female exhibition?
The gallery chose to run an all-female exhibition to celebrate its 30th anniversary year, as it has a long history of supporting emerging women artists. It seemed fitting to pay tribute to their important contribution to contemporary art, while also highlighting the fact that there is still an enormous amount to be done in order to address the disparity in gender representation in the art world. Women are definitely better represented in commercial galleries than they have been, but there is a long way to go for that change to be seen in museums, exhibitions and at auction, where the work of contemporary women artists commands far less than that of their male counterparts.That said the artists in the show appreciated that the title didn't define it as an all female show.
The countdown has begun for Frieze, what are your tips of getting through it?
Getting round Frieze, no tips, wear comfy shoes and keep going… I would suggest mixing it up so you don't get too overloaded. Take breaks visit the shows and the other fairs. Have fun!
What is your life mantra or favourite quote?
Mantra – less is more..
And finally we always like to find out what is your earliest memory of jewellery if you can remember and what was it?
First piece of jewellery: a carved piece of jade from my mother – I still wear it now. The twist, or 'pikorua' is a Maori symbol with design roots in nature. It's said to represent the path of life.
Thank you Philly!
Philly is wearing Bex Rox Love Token from the Venus Collection.
The Love Token dates back to 1788 and was engraved by prisoners of war as a token of love to their partners. Cast from real Love Tokens, hammered and crinkled in two sizes, they fit perfectly together. Available online.

"28/03/08 The A&E dept was ..."
About: University Hospital (Coventry) University Hospital (Coventry) Coventry CV2 2DX
Posted by Elaine (as ),
What I liked
28/03/08 The A&E dept was a calm enviroment.
Staff on reception were helpful and my brother inlaw was seen at once.
He was examined and usual tests were done including xray within one hour. Very efficient nurse and doctor. Thankyou
What could be improved
Car parking charges are too high especially for Pensioners. I urge the hospital management to review their policy, particully in A&E car parking, which could result in hours of charges.

Discover our top 4 bright ideas to style your home
with stunning Christmas lights, indoors and out.
Get inspired with brilliant Christmas decorations for festive
cheer, including string lights, light show projections,
rope lights, candles, and much more.
Decorative string lights aren't just for trees and front porches; wrap them around a picture frame
or mirror, use them to hang photographs on a wire with clothespins, or fill empty wine bottles with
a jumble of lights to create a beautiful centrepiece.
If you're more in the mood to keep up holiday tradition this year, be sure to plan ahead a colour
theme before decking out your indoors and outdoors.
When hanging your Christmas lights on your tree, aim for 100 bulbs for every 1.5 feet as a general
rule to start; you can always choose to add more layers for extra shine.
|Tree Height
|Number of Lights
|6 - 7 Feet
|400 - 700
|7.5 - 8.5 Feet
|700 - 1,000
|9 - 10 Feet
|1,000 - 1,300
|12 Feet
|1,500 - 2,000
Why not shoot a swirling spray of kaleidoscopic lights or snow flurries onto the exterior of your
home and property? It's a quick and effortless way to light up a large area!
Light show projection lights use super-bright LED technology, come in a variety of colours, and
swivel easily to any position or angle. Intricate details come to life against flat surfaces such as
your front porch, roof, or garage door.
For even bigger effect, use laser projectors to instantly blanket your home outdoors in bright,
dancing specks of light. Instead of spending hours hanging holiday lights, laser projectors such as
the Elf Light can set you up for the season in minutes. The Elf Light instantly projects thousands
of sparkling lights on home and landscape, making Christmas decorating a snap!
Rope lights are accent lighting that's flexible and easily shaped to become anything you imagine!
They work best as highlights, whether they're lined along the perimeter of your windows, doors,
and ceilings indoors, or when they help provide ambient lighting to along the edges of your garden,
deck or patio.
Feeling crafty? As a DIY holiday project this year, try crocheting a border around a string of rope
lights to create a lit rug, trivet, or placemat!
Looking for more ways to make your Christmas décor pop? Use net lights as an attractive room
divider in an open space or hang them overhead as a canopy outdoors, a perfect addition to set
the mood for party guests. You can also use them to drape over tree trunks, your entire lawn or
roof — Santa will be able to spot your house right away!
Nothing sets the holiday scene like the warm, flickering glow of a
beautiful set of candles over dinner.
Whether you're looking for battery-powered LED candles, a set of classic
tea lights, or romantic Christmas pillar candles, there are plenty of real and artificial
candles in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colours.
For a simple centrepiece, add a group of five candles in beautiful candle holders and surround them with
pine cones, cranberries, or sprigs of pine needles from your local Lowe's Winter Garden Centre.
Sprinkle some artificial snow to finish it off, or add sparkles in gold or silver for a touch of elegance.

Looking to get rid of your tablet and to turn to an all-in-one device? Then perhaps the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Bundle is the computer that you've been waiting for. The earlier Surface Pro and Surface Pro 2 had some design flaws that just didn't make the product great at being either a tablet or a laptop. The compromises were too great. Unlike earlier designs, the stand can be positioned at multiple angles so you can actually use it on your lap. The Surface Pro Type Cover is actually usable compared to earlier Surface Touch covers that couldn't keep up with fast typing. The 12" display is large enough compared to earlier Surface screens with 10" displays (good luck looking at Excel spreadsheets on that one) but small enough that it can be detached from the keyboard, used as a tablet, and not feel too heavy that your arms are going to fall off after 5 minutes. Windows 8 hasn't exactly been accepted by computer users. You'll be glad to know that the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 Bundle comes with Windows 10 which gets rid of some of the annoying features of Windows 8, an OS that couldn't quite decide if it wanted to be for a laptop or for a tablet. So for those who just want one device, consider the Microsoft Surface Pro 4 tablet laptop bundle.

Has Warren Buffett's Chinese Winner Turned Into a Stinker?
One of Warren Buffett's favored playthings/investments, Chinese car-and-battery maker BYD, is getting crushed this morning after a disappointing earnings report.
Li Lu, the man once seen as possible successor to Buffett, helped introduce the Oracle of Omaha to BYD. Buffett invested in BYD in 2008, and it looked at first like a winner, climbing more than six-fold.
Lately, though, earnings disappointments seem to have become commonplace for BYD. Earlier this summer, BYD shares plunged after a disappointing earnings report.
Buffett's company bought 225 million shares of BYD, or just under 10% of the company's stock, at a price of about $1.03 a pop, according to Berkshire regulatory filings. Even after a 64% drop in BYD's stock price in Hong Kong in the last year, Buffett's stake in BYD is still worth more than twice what he paid, or about $467 million.

"He looks good. I think he's on the way," Komets coach Gary Graham said. "Both goalies are going to get a lot of games here down the stretch. Our schedule has been a little bit weird the last few weeks to try to get either one in kind of a groove, so I've been trying to keep them both involved. Now down the stretch I think you're start seeing one guy get a 2-to-1, 3-to-1 ratio."
As well as Garrett Bartus had played this season — going 18-6-1 with a .907 save percentage and a 2.63 goals against average — that probably needs to be Nagle if the Komets are going to challenge for the ECHL's Kelly Cup. As Graham said, Nagle has the experience and he carried the Komets on a deep run last year. He also has the ability to win a game when his teammates aren't playing their best even in the postseason. At the very least, he gives them a chnace when sometimes they may not deserve it.
Nagle has done well since his return with a 7.-1-3 record, a 2.33 goals against average and .913 save percentage. Pretty good numbers, but he's still working on the consistency. He always talks about making incremental progress, and as long as he's moving forward everything is fine.
"I'm just trying to build off every game, get better every game," he said. "There still a lot of rust to get rid of before playoffs."
But it's starting to loosen up and fall to the side. He was sharp in every period Friday night, stopping a couple Oilers' breakaways, helping hold them scoreless on six power-play chances and generally erasing his teammates' mistakes. When he's on, he can control the whole game from his crease, slowing the pace when necessary, giving his teammates confidence and putting pressure on opponents to try perfect shots.
"He's the type of guy that you want to see him really take the bull by the horns and runs with this thing," Graham said. "It's still going to be a competition between the two, but obviously you saw how well he played tonight and I would expect to see the same on Sunday."
Yes, Nagle will start Sunday in Brampton which has been a very tough place for the Komets to play this season. It's just the place for him to step up again and help push his team toward a strong finish. When he's steady like he was Friday night, everyone else in an orange sweater seems to relax and play better.

I see girls with these guys. I never had a gf, and im 22. I just never felt attractive. Im like 5'6, black, muscular, baby face. Idk, maybe it because im shy. But idk, i just never bothered to approach girls because i don't think they find me physically attractive, plus im too shy anyways. I have a lot of friends though, make friends easily. I look confident, but i can just fake it well. Deep down inside im just that shy quiet kid like I've always been. Idk, just never felt secure enough to approach women. I over-hear girls at school talk about what they find attractive and I don't fit that bill of 6ft tall, hunky, etc, so i just never bother approaching women because of it.
Most Helpful Girl
Shyness is definitely whats holding you back. Girls like funny and friendly guys. A guy that is nice and can make her laugh. Thats what I personally find attractive in a guy... But if a guy is shy and holds back quite often because of his lack of confidence, then that makes him less approachable to women as they then feel like this guy probably doesn't want many people approaching them.00|00|0

In a big labor battle that has been developing out in San Francisco, concession workers at AT&T Park voted nearly unanimously — 97 percent — on Saturday to give their union the authority to call for a strike.
The stadium workers requested the authorization vote on Friday after expressing continued dissatisfaction over the lack of progress in their negotiations for a new contract with Centerplate INC., which is the firm that operates the concessions for the Giants and AT&T Park.
Will Kane of the San Francisco Chronicle has more:
The workers voted 500 to 16 before and after Saturday's home game against the Atlanta Braves to give UNITE HERE Local 2 representatives the bargaining tool, said Nischit Hegde, a spokeswoman for the union.
Workers will not immediately strike, but instead wait to see how South Carolina concession management firm Centerplate responds to the vote, Hegde said.
"People are very serious about what they need and they want to be taken seriously, and I think a 97 percent authorization vote displays how serious they are," Hegde said.
Around 750 stadium workers — including cashiers, cooks and suite attendants — are represented by the union. Each and every one of them has been working without a contract for three years.
With that in mind, you can certainly understand their uneasiness and the desire to get an official deal in writing. But a Centerplate spokesman insisted this week that despite the lack of a contract, the workers have been treated respectfully and beyond fairly.
From the Matier and Ross Blog:
Centerplate spokesman Sam Singer called the strike threat "unfortunate."
"The employees are highly valued by Centerplate," he said. But "they are among the best-paid in the industry, making $15 to $20 an hour, plus 100 percent of health care."
Centerplate and the union are scheduled to continue their talks next week.
Should the workers walk out, the stadium concessions would be staffed by management and other employees.
"There will be no disruption to any fans at Giants games," Singer said.
Honestly, those do seem like pretty fair conditions on the surface, but it's also being reported that the workers haven't received raises of any kind in several years and that Centerplate is seeking to cap their healthcare benefits.
Needless to say, we have a battle on our hands here. And all of this comes just four days after the Giants were ordered to pay $700,000 in back wages to clubhouse workers. The drama off the field and in the stands is overshadowing the excitement on the field, and that's a difficult thing to do when the team involved has won two of the last three World Series.

How It Is
How It Is by Samuel Beckett is in development as Gare St Lazare Ireland's next project and has received a number of research and development sessions as part of the company's residency at Everyman Theatre Cork supported by The Arts Council of Ireland, Cork City Council and University College Cork.
The creative team of director Judy Hegarty Lovett, performer Conor Lovett & sound designer/composer/performer Mel Mercier have held several development workshops and work-in-progress presentations at Everyman Theatre in Cork, where the company are Theatre Artists in Residence (Supported by The Arts Council, Cork City Council Arts Office and University College Cork Drama & Theatre Studies). Presentations have also been held at The Minghella Centre, University of Reading, Le Centre Culturel Irlandais and at Lincoln Centre, New York.
Samuel Beckett's last full-length novel How It Is remains one of his least known works. The three-part novel is presented in short unpunctuated paragraphs and appears to tell the story of a lone figure in a landscape of mud and darkness who drags with him a sack of tins and a tin-opener repeating, as he journeys, the words of a voice he hears inside and outside his own head. He encounters a fellow traveller, Pim, and a bizarre relationship ensues followed by Pim's escape. In a compelling innovation of form that pushes language to its limits, Beckett has created a work that is as evocative and emotionally charged as it is perplexing.
Having presented ten Beckett prose texts on stage, Gare St Lazare Ireland now bring this unique work to a wider audience through their work. The company are the worlds only company with a dedicated exploration of the work of Samuel Beckett through his prose, drama and radio drama.
Funding. Given the complexity of the work and the aim to present it in its entirety the company expect to spend up to 3 years in developing the work. We are currently seeking presentation partners and funding to bring this work to full production. A film of recent work-in-progress is available to potential producing partners and funders, on request from the company. Please contact us for for further information.

Sebastian and his colleagues were fantastic. They completed the required work quickly and to a very high standard. The price quoted was just right. The team turned up on time and cleaned up after themselves - leaving the area in a much better state than when they had started. I would have no hesitation in recommending Sebastian and his team, indeed we are looking for them to do further work for us, and we have recommended them widely to neighbours.
Very professional in all areas and did an excellent job. They shared some good ideas about the future development of our garden along the way too. We will be using them again in the future.
Excellent workmanship. So good in fact we have asked him to do a lot more work for us. Friendly, conscientious, clean and tidy.
Stuart worked very hard and finished the job to a high standard and a fair price. Would highly recommend

Are you? I say some of it is your fault for being too picky on your choice of guys and some isn't because your height should never be a negative.It should be a thing of beauty.
Most Helpful Girl
I honestly don't see my height as a bad thing when it comes to dating. A lot of guys say they prefer short girls, but most just don't care. While most of the attention I get comes from tall guys, even short guys approach me which I think is pretty cool.
When I was younger I was more insecure about it. Now the only thing is I feel self conscious wearing high heels.00|00|0
Why are heels such a big deal though? I mean it isn't real height, for a man worry about a woman in heels is silly lol. I think heels look better on a tall girl. For a short girl wearing heels it looks they are desperate to look a little taller. A tall girl wearing them just shows more of her lovely tall self.
- Show AllShow Less
don't because I'm sure you are pretty cute. Most tall girls are cute anyway :)
Haha cheers mate

A MOTORIST has told a court how he thought a van had come to the aid of a broken down lorry before he saw the driver being run over and killed.
Three motorists have been giving evidence of what they saw happen on the morning of February 15 when Trevor Allen was killed on Manchester Road.
Chester Crown Court heard this morning, Tuesday, how electrician Michael Taylor was driving to work when he saw Mark Slater's DAF lorry on the other side of the road with hazard lights on.
Mr Allen's Citroen Belingo pulled in front of the lorry and he saw Mr Allen approach the lorry with his hands up in the air.
But he then saw the lorry drive forward.
Mr Taylor said: "At that moment I thought the lorry was moving forward, I thought he was saying stop I have got something for you.
"The lorry got closer it wasn't stopping. Then it hit the victim.
"I saw his [Mr Allen's] hands moving but he couldn't get a grasp.
"He slipped under the wagon totally."
But bin wagon driver Kamil Miskiewicz who was behind Mr Taylor said he saw Mr Allen and Slater both get out of their vehicles to talk.
Speaking of seeing Slater's face as he drive past him having just hit Mr Allen he said: "I saw a bad face. In my opinion the face was like a 'nothing can stop me' face."
And finally Simon Feltham, who was driving home after having a round of golf at Birchwood Golf Club was cancelled, told the court what Slater told him when he stopped at the scene.
He said: "He look agitated, I wound my window down, he got out of his cab and he said "He started throwing things at my lorry, he started throwing things at my lorry and it all started back down at the lights."
Slater, aged 47, from Oldham, denies murder.
The trial continues.

Maximum token size
Dec 11, 2011 11:56 AM
Hi, in order to start a secure context there is token exchange right?
A typical scenario is:
token = new byte[inStream.readInt()]; inStream.readFully(token);
Now, I'd like to have a check for entered token size before actually read it, because an attacker could possibily enter a very big number and raise an out of heap memory error in JVM (I already tested it!).
So, my question is: how can token length vary? Is there a maximum value beyond I can state there's something wrong and not read incoming data at all?
I have the same question

Company Performance and the Two-Tier Board Structure: Empirical Evidence from France
This study's objective is to assess the impact of board structure on company performance in France, where companies are allowed to choose between a one-tier or a two-tier board structure and to verify the specificities of companies with a two-tier board. To verify the specificities of companies with a two-tier board, we analyze 250 large publicly traded companies and find that the two-tier structure does have a significant impact on long-term performance, measured by Tobin's Q, yet no impact on cash holdings. Supervisory board size and the percentage of shares controlled by supervisors also have a significant impact on performance. Our findings are consistent with agency theory.

(aged 29)
Krugersdorp, South Africa

|British Army
|Years of service

|Victoria Cross
Captain David Reginald Younger, VC (17 March 1871 – 11 July 1900) was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
Background and early military career[edit]
Younger was educated at St Ninian's School, Moffat and Malvern College (1885 – 1890). He was commissioned in 1891 and transferred to the Gordon Highlanders on 23 December 1893.[1] Promoted to lieutenant during the mid 1890s, he left for active service in South Africa following the outbreak of the Second Boer War in October 1899, and was promoted to captain on 14 December 1899.[2]
Younger was 29 years old, and a captain in the 1st Battalion, the Gordon Highlanders, British Army during the Second Boer War when the deed described below took place near Krugersdorp for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross (posthumously) after he died of injuries received during the Battle of Dwarsvlei on 11 July 1900: The Gordon Highlanders under Major-General Smith-Dorrien were ordered to march from Krugersdorp towards Hekpoot. About 15 km from Krugersdorp they were encountered by a commando under Vecht-Generaal Oosthuizen who opened fire from mountain ridges above the road. The battle was fierce and it was only after dark that the British managed to extricate their guns, wagons and wounded and limped back to Krugersdorp. The engagement was described by Major-General Horace Smith-Dorrien as their 'most trying fight of the whole war'.
His citation in the London Gazette reads:
This Officer, during the action near Krugersdorp, on the 11th July, 1900, volunteered for and took out the party which successfully dragged a Royal Artillery waggon under cover of a small kopje, though exposed to a very heavy and accurate fire at only 850 yards range. He also accompanied the second party of volunteers who went out to try and bring in one of the guns. During the attempt he was mortally wounded, dying shortly afterwards. His cool and gallant conduct was the admiration of all who witnessed it.[3]
See also[edit]
William Eagleson Gordon was awarded the VC for actions during the same engagement.
John Frederick MacKay who was awarded a VC for actions at Crows Nest Hill on 29 May 1900, was the man who "had dashed out from the safety of the right kopje, hoisted Captain Younger on his back, and carried him behind the left kopje under the concentrated fire of several hundred rifles."
Hugh Montague Trenchard was awarded the VC for actions during an engagement at the same location on 9 October 1900
In the Krugersdorp Cemetery, Captain Younger's headstone stands thirty paces away from the memorial stone to vecht-generaal Sarel Oosthuizen and his younger brother, korporaal Isak Johannes Oosthuizen (who died on 20 April 1902, a few days before the end of the war).
The battle of Dwarsvlei has also been referred to as Leeuhoek, Doornboschfontein and Onrus, all being names of farms in the area that the action took place on that day.

Jerusalem, Jan. 5 (Reuters): Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, heavily sedated and on a respirator, clung to life today after a severe stroke that is likely to create a huge vacuum in Israeli politics and the West Asia peace process.
Surgeons at Jerusalems Hadassah hospital said they stemmed the bleeding in the 77-year-old leaders brain in a seven-hour operation and described his condition as critical but stable.
Hospital director Shlomo Mor-Yosef, in an update several hours after surgery was completed, said Sharon would be kept in deep sedation and on a respirator for at least the next 24 hours to keep cranial pressure low.
Mor-Yosef did not say how much brain damage Sharon may have suffered from a type of stroke that is often fatal. Channel Two television said doctors would try to wake Sharon tomorrow morning to assess his condition.
Channel Two television, quoting a Hadassah hospital official for its information, later reported that the Israeli leader was not in a vegetative state and had retained brain and heart functions.
A cerebral haemorrhage, or bleeding stroke, felled Sharon yesterday in the midst of his fight for re-election on a promise to end conflict with the Palestinians. They lost their own iconic leader, Yasser Arafat, to a brain haemorrhage in November 2004.
Medical experts agreed the Prime Minister was unlikely to pull through without his faculties being seriously impaired. The chances that he could recover or return to full functioning after an incident like this are not good, Ziv Rosenbaum, a neurosurgeon at Beilinson hospital near Tel Aviv, said.
In Washington, US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice hailed Sharon, who orchestrated a Gaza pullout in September, as a gigantic figure in West Asian politics.
Sharon, has long been seriously overweight. He was hit by a mild stroke on December 18 and medical experts speculated that blood thinning medication prescribed last month may have caused the bleeding in his brain.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas telephoned Sharons office to inquire about his health and wish him a speedy recovery. Sharon had been due to undergo an operation today at Hadassah to repair a tiny hole in his heart thought to have caused the blood clot that led to last months stroke. Sharon, popularly known as The Bulldozer, spent several days in hospital last month.

Nicholas slammed the hood down on his Volkswagen Rabbit, and stared out into the night. He turned the collar up on his jacket, as the wind began to blow and a cold chill crept past the windbreaker. The road was bleak and lonely looking, as he searched up and down to try and spot any oncoming headlights. He was stuck, and hadn't a clue what was wrong with the damn car.
He shivered a little as he took stock of his situation. There was a blanket in the back, and he still had part of a sandwich but other than that, he was on his own.Ā It was a dark night, and he wasn't thrilled about suddenly being stuck on this lonely road, in the middle of nowhere. For a moment he cursed himself, wishing he had stopped at the gas station that was thirty minutes back.
Figuring on how fast he had been going, the damn place was a good 40 miles back. He sighed, knowing he would have to walk, but it wouldn't do to start off on that kind of trek in the middle of the night. Glancing at his watch he saw the time, and began to look around.
Off the road, a little ways ahead was a looming structure, that had to be a barn of some kind. Other than that it was nothing but empty fields, and long threatening fences. He didn't see any animals about but that didn't mean there weren't any. Nicholas wasn't what you would call animal friendly. Even dogs made him nervous, and the idea of being in the same room as a cat always gave him the willies.
His friends all laughed at him for his fear of cats.Ā Course none of them ever had his experience, so what would they know. Hell if they had, they'd be a bit paranoid of the damn animals themselves. He recalled that moment, shivering not from the cold wind but from remembering the pain. It had been a few years back, when he had a sleep over with a friend.
They didn't do anything, though he wished they had. The guy was friggin hot, and hung too. That was the cause of his feline hatred. He had been sleeping, dreaming of cocks, and specially his friend's cock, when he felt the piercing pain in his groin.
He woke up screaming, tossing the covers off his naked body. He cried out in pure agony as he saw the cat, taking a swipe at his erect cock. The claws were out and the damn cat that it was a new scratching post or something. Fuck it had hurt, and he still had a scar on his dick, from that little morning wake up.
His friend had laughed, which hadn't been pleasing, but that was 4 years ago. Ever since, he was not a fan of cats, but who would be if their dick had been used as a scratching post? Cat claws weren't exactly dull. Nicholas sighed, rubbing his groin as if to ease the painful memory. Twenty years old and he still woke up with the shakes after seeing a cat.
After another shake, and quick look around, he decided he'd make for the barn structure. Least it would give him some shelter, and the weather was not looking pleasant. It had been threatening to rain for several hours now, and he didn't want to get caught in it. The idea of staying in his car was a fleeting one. Sleeping in a Rabbit just wasn't comfortable for someone of his size.
Standing just over 6ft, he barely had enough leg room to sit and drive, never mind stretch out and sleep. The seats were comfortable, but they didn't go back far enough to let him recline. Then too, it was a standard, so no way he could stretch out sideways, so the barn seemed far more preferable.
Quickly he put together his backpack, with the blanket, a flashlight, and other essentials. Setting off to the barn, he looked back at his car, cursing it for breaking down in the middle of nowhere. Grunting he trudged the few yards to the fence, and gingerly crawled under two strands of wire to enter the field. He stood there for a minute, trembling a little, afraid of some unknown danger lurking in the darkness of the field.
It was not an easy trek to the barn with his fear keeping him company. Every rustle of the wind through the tall grass made him skittish, thinking something was there, but he knew it was just his paranoia. Approaching the barn he saw the peeling paint better, the rather neglected look of the structure. The huge barn door wasn't locked, and he quickly turned his flashlight on to peer inside, and saw nothing but stacks of hay all over. There was no animals inside as he stepped further in, exploring the large empty structure.
He felt very nervous as he stepped inside, his legs quivering as he surveyed his resting place for the night. There simply was nothing there, as he shone his light all over. Slowly his heart stopped beating like a jackhammer. His breathing was a bit more normal as he saw a hanging lantern, next to a pile of hay and straw. There was even an old blanket hanging by it, as he moved towards it.
It took him a few minutes, but eventually the lantern spluttered and he had light, allowing him to switch off the flashlight. Looking around the place didn't look too bad, as he made himself comfortable on the straw, the blanket thrown out to prevent the straw from digging into his back. It was rather warm as well, so he took off his jacket, to stretch out, rummaging in his backpack for a magazine he had inside.
Might as well be comfortable he thought, as he began to flip through the pages, staring at the glossy photographs of some nameless model. Nicholas quickly let himself get lost in the images of the young models. He liked sex, which was one reason why he was out on the road. A friend he knew lived out here, and he was going to spend a week visiting his friend, before spring break was over. He had lots of condoms in his backpack, because Colin was known for being unprepared in that department.
Mind you, you would think he'd have condoms in every room of his home, given how much Colin loved to fuck. He was a horn dog, without question, which is one reason Nicholas was going there for a week. Longer and he knew he'd be walking bow legged because Colin not only knew how to fuck, but he had the cock to do it with.
The anticipation of being with Colin, the naked guys in the photographs made him start to rub his crotch. It had been a long trip already, longer now thanks to his frigging car, and he hadn't had much of a chance to unwind. He loved to jerk off, did practically every morning when there wasn't someone else lying next to him. In that event, they usually helped him unwind, but out here, he would be lucky to even get a peep at some nice tight ass, or bulging package.
Hell, the guy at the gas station was a toothless old fart, and he didn't even want to think about what he would look like naked. Instead he concentrated on the magazine, and thinking of Colin, who at least had a good body to match his rather thick and lengthy penis. His hand was rubbing his cock, feeling it growing under his pants, when he heard the first peal of thunder. It boomed out, making him jump and the wind began to howl as a spring storm finally seemed to be happening. Nicholas looked up at the outside, seeing the darkness suddenly split open into a huge flash of light.
He shivered a bit, and stared out at the night. The lantern flickered a little, and he glanced over at it, when another peal of thunder boomed out. His body flinched, and as the lightning flashed across the sky, he recoiled. It was an eerie feeling, and he quickly stopped himself from shaking, feeling like a kid. The magazine shook in his hands, as he turned his eyes away from the scene being displayed outside, and returned to something more comfortable to contemplate, the picture of a naked twink, his cock jutting outwards, his hips shoved out, hands on hips, and eyes looking like they could melt butter.
The model was hot, and he could feel his own desire burning inside, as he hand once more began to stroke his cock. He felt the lust inside as he pushed and stroked his cock, then he put his hand under his pants, to let his fingers take hold of his throbbing cock. The pants were making it hard, so he quickly undid the button, and pushed the zipper down.
He pushed his pants open, and spread his legs a little, as once more he stuffed his hand down inside. He felt the warmth from his crotch as he took hold of his cock, and slowly began to stroke it, while thinking of the naked twink displayed across the page. The way his eyes seemed to look out at Nicholas made him sigh, the way his cock seemed to be staring out at him. It made him forget the thunderstorm outside, despite the peals of thunder and flashes of lightning
His mind was slowly relaxing, letting him think of Colin, of all the things they would do for the week. He knew Colin was one of those who felt no shame in walking around naked, who seemed to always be sporting a boner, which always wanted attention. He was really just a sex maniac, the way he could fuck and ten minutes later be ready to do it all over again. Colin was just insatiable, which is exactly what Nicholas wanted.
He closed his eyes, as he pulled his fully erect cock out of his shorts, to stroke it while he fantasized about Colin, about how he would let him spread his cheeks, enter him and pound his ass, until they both came. Colin didn't seem to get soft once he shot either, so it was always extra enjoyable to get fucked by him. To let him cum and then to keep on driving him, while he stroked off. The sensations were always worth the pain of taking Colin's monster sized cock, of having him pound his ass to the point where tears would roll down his face.
His hand was jerking on his cock faster as he thought about the last time he had been with Colin. The way he had twisted and turned his cock while it was buried deep inside of Nicholas' ass had been unreal. The pain he had felt, the pleasure that came with that pain, was still like it was only yesterday. He began to moan as he thought about that night, about how Colin had ploughed him for hours that night.
They had tried so many different positions, and he didn't have a favourite one either. Colin was a stud no matter what position he was in. With his legs tossed in the air, lying on his side, or on his belly, it didn't matter, as Colin knew how to work his cock inside, how to make Nicholas moan and groan with every thrust of that cock. It was like being driven, the foot to the pedal all the time. Colin had two speeds for fucking, fast and overdrive.
That night, he seemed stuck on overdrive. The speed in which he had pounded Nicholas, had made him cum several times in the evening's romp. The following morning he had felt totally spent, knowing that they both had fallen asleep from total exhaustion. His ass had hurt for days afterwards, so had his cock. He had jerked it so many times, that it was raw from all the action.
Now he was hoping for an entire week of that, but was stuck in some damn barn. He felt the annoyance, knowing that it was his need to get to Colin, that had been at the cause of it all. Even the image of the hot twink covered in cum wasn't a solace, as he kept his hand pumping his cock. He felt the warmth, that his hand was generating, as he kept going back to that night with Colin. The way he had spread Nicholas' cheeks, had even buried his face between them, while rimming him. Gawd, Colin's tongue had felt so frigging good as it licked at him, dug into him even. He had felt the tip curl as it was shoved into his hole, making him squirm and moan.
The tongue had dug deep into him, and the feel of Colin's face buried between his ass cheeks had made him reach underneath his prone body, to jerk at his own cock. Colin's hands had his cheeks open, spread wide and the fingers had dug deep into his soft flesh. He had felt himself tremble, as Colin's tongue licked at his flesh, had tasted him then entered him.
Nicholas felt his hand moving quicker. He glanced down to see the blur of his hand as it jerked his cock. The ache in his balls grew too, as he could still feel Colin's tongue licking at him, and he arched his head back, his body no longer his to command. His legs jutted outwards, his feet curling and cramping even as every muscle inside grew taut. He was like a fully wound spring as the memory of Colin's tongue made him suddenly groan, then cry out.
His hand was suddenly filled with hot sticky milk that came rushing out of his cock. Nicholas felt his body tremble, quiver and then explode. His eyes were closed shut, the sound of thunder dimmed by the roar of his hear thundering, as he shook. His cock had exploded between his fingers and he felt the sting of that spray against his chin, as his whole body seemed to have lifted up off the pile of hay.
His breathing was rapid and shallow, as he sunk back down onto the old horse blanket and pile of hay. His legs were numb, his arm ached from the way he was squeezing his cock, draining every drop out of it, as he thought about how it had felt, with Colin between his cheeks. The hot breath blowing on the tender flesh between the cheeks, the tongue deep inside his hole. His hand jerked again, as the last of his cum dribbled out, and the sound of thunder boomed out.
His eyes suddenly opened wide, as another flash of lightning lit up the sky. The barn door was open, and he saw the glare of white light as it flared, and then he grew rigid, as he saw the shadow of a figure in the doorway, illuminated by the flash of lightning. He gulped, his hand choking the top of his spent cock. His heart continued to beat wildly as he realized someone was standing in the open doorway of the barn. The figure had a wide brimmed hat on, and a long sleek yellow rain poncho over his body.
Nicholas just stared as he realized the man had a powerful flashlight in his hand, and was now slowly sweeping it in a horizontal position. His eyes bugged out more, ignoring the brilliant light as it passed over him, then moved back to hold him in its glare. He didn't move as the light held him motionless. His hand still held onto his cock, as he heard the man suck in his breath.
'What are you doing here?' the voice boomed out, strong and firm and yet there was something else in its tone, as the light moved down a bit, to fully illuminate Nicholas' tightly held

A string of Tory and Labour MPs have warned David Davis, the Brexit secretary, that businesses and financial markets are being spooked by his lack of a plan for leaving the EU.
Claire Perry, a Conservative former minister, said on Wednesday she was extremely concerned about the state of the pound and accused Davis of putting "narrow ideology" ahead of the national interest, while Ken Clarke, the former chancellor, said no foreign companies would invest until there was more clarity about the UK's future relationship with the outside world.
Chris Philp, a Tory backbencher, urged the Brexit secretary to reveal more details, saying there was a "danger some [businesses] may take decisions in the next two or three months" to pre-emptively scale back investment and move jobs. And the serial rebel Anna Soubry, a former business minister who attended cabinet, demanded a yes or no answer as to whether the UK would be in the single market.
The MPs raised their concerns during a Labour-led debate in the House of Commons on the need for greater parliamentary scrutiny of the process of leaving the EU before article 50 is triggered by the end of March.
Davis said it was "not black or white" whether the UK would stay in the single market and parliament could not expect to be given every detail of Brexit plans.
The government had a mandate to get the best possible deal, he said, but insisted he could go no further than talking about overarching aims because revealing the UK's top priority would prove "extremely expensive".
Those aims, he said, were: "Bringing back control of laws to parliament, bringing back control over decisions of immigration to the UK, maintaining the strong security cooperation that we have with the European Union, and establishing the freest possible market in goods and services with the European Union and the rest of the world."
He also hit out at businesses and countries who were creating a "Brexit blame festival" which, he said, was making employees unnecessarily nervous about the consequences of leaving the EU.
The debate was led by Keir Starmer, who said: "It's frankly astonishing that the government proposes to devise the negotiating terms of our exit from the EU, then to negotiate and then to reach a deal without a vote in this house.
"I have accepted, I've stood here and accepted, there's a mandate for exit. There is no mandate for the terms. It has never been put to the country. It has not even been put to the secretary of state's political party and it has not been put to this house. Where is the mandate on the terms?"
The government accepted Labour's motion in favour of "proper scrutiny", with a minor amendment about protecting its negotiating aims, but has not conceded that there needs to be a vote of MPs on the strategy.
Davis said MPs must not be allowed to veto the decision to leave the EU but would be given a series of debates before it happens. He also hinted that more details could be revealed at a later date on the proposed form of Brexit for MPs to discuss.
"I've asked the chief whip through usual channels for a series of debates so that the house can air its views," he said. "It would be very surprising if we had those debates without presenting to them something to debate."
Davis was supported by a raft of longstanding Eurosceptic backbenchers, such as Bill Cash, Peter Bone and Bernard Jenkin, and some Tory MPs were satisfied with the government's concession that there would be a series of debates.
However, others continued to press for a formal vote. Dominic Grieve, the former attorney general, said major treaty change should be approved by the Commons by convention, not just prerogative powers. He said his duty to his constituents transcended his duty to his party on the matter, accounting for his criticism of his own government.
Grieve was backed up by Clarke, who said it was essential to have both more clarity about what the government was planning and a vote on the strategy to be pursued.
"The pound has devalued to an extent that would have caused a political crisis 30 years ago," he said. "Nobody is going to invest in this country until there is some clarity about our relationship with the outside the world."
Perry made an intervention in favour of the single market, telling Starmer: "I would like to reassure you … that there are many of us on the government benches who will do all we can to preserve the benefits of access to the single market for our local constituents."
Nicky Morgan, the Conservative former education secretary, said she resented the implication from newspapers, ministers and "briefers and spinners at the heart of this government" that she was trying to block Brexit, and pledged to work even harder at holding the government to account over its role in leaving the EU.
She said she was "deeply concerned" that the cabinet had not been consulted on when article 50 would be triggered and spoke of her "heartbreak" that one of her constituents would find it difficult to carry on living in the UK as an EU citizen.
Soubry said the UK was in difficult and dangerous times, and that MPs had to be "brave and true to what we believe in", not bow to calls for lower immigration if they did not agree with that.
She called for the government to abandon its target of reducing immigration to the tens of thousands. "We cannot keep it. We know the reality. People come here to work and, in simple terms, who is going to do the jobs of the people who come here?" Soubry asked. "We should be making it clear we are open to business and open to people, as we always have been, because they contribute to this country not just in economic terms but in cultural terms."
Soubry spoke of a small UK firm that was in danger of going under, and others that had told her EU workers were returning to their countries of origin.
"We should be holding our heads in shame that this is a feeling that people have," she said.

Five-year-old Cory Nieves didn't like taking the bus to school in the freezing cold of New Jersey and one day decided to help his mother buy a car.
He set up a stand in 2009 and sold passersby hot cocoa, lemonade and cookies.
Although someone reported his business to the health department and shut him down for selling cookies in front of his home, almost five years later, Cory is now a fairly successful entrepreneur who is selling 1,000 cookies every weekend.
The 10-year-old fifth-grader is founder, CEO and head of distribution for Mr. Cory's Cookies, and he recently shared his incredibly inspiring story in an interview to MSNBC on MSNBC's "News Nation" hosted by Tamron Hall.
The pint-sized businessman explained Hall how he started out working off of cookie recipes he found online, but ended up creating his own formula that won him more customers.
The ingredients in his baked treats, Cory pointed out, are 75 percent organic and there are no added preservatives. They cost $10 for a dozen, and $34.99 for a platter.
"My favorite is the chocolate chip," he told ABC News in August. "I come up with all the recipes, and oatmeal raisin has no sugar added."
In 2012, Cory said, the business moved out of his home and into a commercial kitchen.
As successful as his cookie business may be, it is not the only thing on this ambitious fifth-grader's mind.
When Cory appeared on "The Ellen Show" in September, he revealed his future plans to the host, saying he wants to attend Princeton University when he graduates from high school.
Also, Cory is sort of a little fashion diva. He has more than 33,000 followers on his Instagram page and his fans simply love his sartorial choices.
As he told the Huffington Post in an interview, "Presentation is the key to success."
Watch Cory explain his business model to Tamron Hall in the MSNBC video below:

The latest release of my vadacl validation library for Angular 2 introduces a new feature: locale-based error message configuration.
The latest release of my vadacl validation library for Angular 2 introduces a new feature: locale-based error message configuration.
Version 0.0.7 of my sandbox GuildRunner Angular 2 application is a refactor of the sandbox Chapter form I created in the previous version. I refactored the form, which uses Angular's reactive form classes (FormControl, FormGroup, FormArray, and FormBuilder) to use a small validation library I created called vadacl.
The two main features of vadacl are:
It allows developers to set validation rules for the properties of a domain class at both the domain class level and the component level (because some validations are there to ensure the data can be persisted back to the server, and those validations should be set on the domain class so they are consistent throughout the application).
It gives developers the ability to set a "message" value that will be part of the metadata object returned from a validator when the data is invalid (which you can see in action in the refactored sandbox Chapter form).
The initial version of my TypeScript-based vadacl library for performing form validation in Angular 2 is now available on GitHub.
vadacl provides the following enhancements to the typical implementation of form validation via the reactive form classes (FormControl, FormGroup, FormArray, and FormBuilder):
Instead of configuring all of the validation in the component hosting the form, you can configure certain validations within the data object itself (validation rules that should remain consistent wherever the data object is used in your application), then add to or modify those validation rules in the component to create the final set of validations needed for a given form.
The vadacl validation methods add a "message" property to the metadata object returned when the form data fails validation. This "message" property value is the message meant to be presented to the user, and can be configured and/or overridden at multiple levels:
The Vadacl class, whether used as a superclass for your component or as a service, provides methods for providing an array of validator methods to the FormControls in your form and for displaying the validation error "message" values in your template, removing the need to add multiple DOM elements with "ngIf" directives to display each kind of validation error or to add code to your component to gather and translate validation failures into error messages.
vadacl is (currently) a small library contained in a single folder you can just drop into your Angular application. The GitHub repo contains that folder as part of a small Angular 2.1.1 application containing several working demos of vadacl in action.

Popular passages
Page 16 - Peace to all such! But were there one whose fires True genius kindles, and fair fame inspires; Blest with each talent and each art to please. And born to write, converse, and live with ease: Should such a man, too fond to rule alone, Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne; View him with scornful, yev with jealous eyes.
Page 11 - Oft she rejects, but never once offends. Bright as the sun, her eyes the gazers strike, And, like the sun, they shine on all alike. Yet graceful ease, and sweetness void of pride, Might hide her faults, if belles had faults to hide: If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all.
Page 21 - What modes of sight betwixt each wide extreme, The mole's dim curtain, and the lynx's beam; Of smell, the headlong lioness between, And hound sagacious on the tainted green; Of hearing, from the life that fills the flood, To that which warbles through the vernal wood! The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine ! Feels at each thread, and lives along the line...
Page 21 - Yes, I am proud; I must be proud to see Men, not afraid of God, afraid of me; Safe from the bar, the pulpit, and the throne, Yet touch'd and shamed by ridicule alone.
Page 19 - But why then publish? Granville the polite, And knowing Walsh, would tell me I could write; Well-natured Garth inflamed with early praise; And Congreve loved, and Swift endured my lays; The courtly Talbot, Somers, Sheffield read; Ev'n mitred Rochester would nod the head, And St. John's self (great Dryden's friends before) With open arms received one poet more.
Page 18 - Of all her dears she never slander'd one, But cares not if a thousand are undone. Would Chloe know if you're alive or dead ? She bids her footman put it in her head. Chloe is prudent — Would you too be wise ? Then never break your heart when Chloe dies.
Page 11 - True wit is nature to advantage dressed, — What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed; Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind.
Page 11 - For forms of government let fools contest, Whate'er is best administered is best.
Page 21 - Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent ; Breathes in our soul, informs our mortal part, As full, as perfect in a hair as heart ; As full, as perfect in vile man that mourns, As the rapt seraph that adores and burns. To Him no high, no low, no great, no small ; He fills, He bounds, connects and equals all.
Page 11 - Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never Is, but always To be blest; The soul, uneasy and confined from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come.

Best Time for Epidural
The best time to get an epidural is generally between 4-8cm but you can get an epidural at anytime during labor. If you get an epidural before 4cm it increases your chances of your labor stalling and needing pitocin to restart your labor. An epidural takes about 30minutes to take full effect so if it is gotten after 8cm it might not be effective during the most painful part of labor and during pushing. Do what feels right for you and ask your doctor for advice.

Im right there with you Kim :) both my pregnacies were induced so I got my epidural as soon as I was uncomfortable and in pain.
when i was giving birth to my daughter i had asked for an epidural and it didnt work but i had gotten it before 8 cm that was the worst pain ever.
