Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct
LInk Qt framework to an MFC project
Hello, I have compiled the source of the Qt framework using the visual studio compiler, linked everything in the settings dll, libs and headers, and after I tried to create a simple message box in the MFC project but had no luck, the compiler shows this error: error LNK2019 unresolved external symbol... (link error). Not sure why it show me this error because the dll and libs are set in the project properties. Can you help me out? Thanks in advance
it would be helpful if you show the actual linker errors.
And why an MFC project?
That normally do not link to the needed Qt dlls.
Also why did you compiled your own Qt?
Is is static or what is special about it?
Error 2 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "_declspec(dllimport) public: virtual __thiscall QMessageBox::~QMessageBox(void)" (__imp??1QMessageBox@@UAE@XZ) referenced in function "public: virtual void * __thiscall QMessageBox::`scalar deleting destructor'(unsigned int)" (??_GQMessageBox@@UAEPAXI@Z)
It's just for learning. I have an MFC old project (used it for learning MFC) and now I just want to use the Qt ui in MFC project, to learn something new. No, the application is not static. So compiling was not a good idea(
in the InitInstance fucntion (MFC) I'm just trying to create a QMessageBox: QMessageBox *p = new QMessageBox
Ok seems you are not linking to the Qt dlls.
Also how will you handle the event loop?
Do you create a QApplication object also?
Mixed MFC and Qt might be really hard.
@mrjj No I'm not creating a QApplication object. Do I have to create it in order to make a test QMesssageBox?
I red that creating a secondary thread solves the issue, and also I checked that I will have to re-write the MFC signals so that Qt UI would be able to catch them. But in fact I do link to them, In visual studio I set the Reference path to the Qt\bin folder, also I have installed Qt visual studio plugin
Yep you need QApp
The visual studio plugin is not ment for MFC projects. not sure it
work with that. never tried.
The error says its not linked. So check compiler output etc and see if you can spot something.
@mrjj that's a run-time error. And I have a compile time, I mean that even If i'll create a Qapplication object nothing changes. Why it does not see the dll? Have you tried to connect Qt to MFC? Thanks in advance.
mrjj Lifetime Qt Champion last edited by mrjj
That is what happens if i make a msg box before the application.
You will get the same if it linked and ran.
Sadly i never tried to mix MFC and Qt as what would be the point?
Both are for GUI so one is enough.
But i understand you do it for learning. I dont have visual studio IDE so cannot tell you
if you have added it to the right place.
You could post some images of the dialogs involved and hope that someone can spot
what is wrong.
@mrjj at first I'll try to link Qt libs to a console application, and after will continue with MFC
@mrjj did you link Qt to a Visual Studio console project? If yes how did you do that, because I'm having problems with it. Thank you
UPD: got it working.
But receiving this error:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "".
Yes the link shows how the author links a dlls to his project.
But its 2010 VS so dialog might have changed.
@mandruk1331 said in LInk Qt framework to an MFC project:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
That is because it cant find the dlls.
very normal case when people click the .exe outside of creator.
@mrjj I have connected Qt to MFC. Thank you! It now compiles and works

Route planning and the generation of a travel diary are consolidated in an intuitive operation. The starting point is always the travel route with its waypoints. Once en route or on returning from your journey, you can directly record and document your experiences for the respective waypoint. Simply write a commentary and upload a couple of pictures and bingo! If you experience something special in a particular place, which you would like to share or record, simply add a new waypoint and make the relevant commentary. In this way you create your personal travel diary with your experiences and photographic souvenirs as your journey progresses.
Two different presentation formats make it easier for you to find your way:
In the "compact view" the individual waypoints are presented in the form of a list. This gives you an overview of your route and you can simply adapt these, add new waypoints or change the order of the waypoints. The compact view also lets you find quickly the waypoint, for which you want to note your experience.
The"diary view" presents the travel route with your commentaries and photos in an attractive lay-out, which makes reading your experiences inviting. In this view you can do more work on the design, by processing texts and adding or deleting pictures and in this way you create your very own personal travel diary. If you wish, you can share these experiences with the Free on Tour community or your friends in line with the slogan: a shared pleasure is the best pleasure!

The Front-Surface Mirror is the result of a vacuum deposition of aluminum on optical-select glass. It is generally used for scientific instruments and cinema effects. In operation, the Front-Surface Mirror projects a high-quality image reflected off the first surface of the mirror, as opposed to the back surface typical of a household mirror. Because of this first-surface reflection, there is no refraction or distortion of an image.
The Front-Surface Mirror is protected by a hard quartz overcoat, which also enhances the reflectivity to 92% reflection in the center of the visible spectrum. It is available in thickness ranging from.025" (micro-glass), to 3/16". PANCRO will customize parts when order an is accompanied by a drawing.

Quote of Note | Murray Moss
"Italian architect Gio Ponti's 'Parete Organizzata' illuminated wall organizer would ordinarily be categorized as Design, primarily due to the fact it has an obvious function, whereas, curiously, Kasimir Malevich's design for a ceiling, in spite of the fact that it too has a function, is normally categorized as Art. Flat Art is normally hung on the wall; Design rarely is. Yet in our installation of these two works at Phillips, the Ponti is mounted on the wall, and the Malevich is placed on an easel, in space. As a result, are they both 're-departmentalized'? Do we allow the wall to become a determining factor in establishing what is Art and what is not?"
–Murray Moss, in the incredibly beautiful catalogue for "Moss, the Auction: Dialogues Between Art and Design," on view through October 15 at Phillips de Pury & Company in New York

I've drank some…
And this one is the best I've ever had! Your comic is so sweet and exciting! I am really enjoying watching Esther and Maria's interactions. I just scream "ASK HER OUT!!" over and over. Yet, it's nice to see them just enjoying each others company and their friends being supportive but not pushy. It's all just super sweet. I love when Maria's friend went with her to ask Esther for more study time. Ahhhhh! too cute!
I am so fond of magical comics and adventures! I just love seeing how different writers/ artists interpret the theme. I think the writing and the art is so awesome and you two have done an amazing job! The story is coming along nicely and I am hooked!!! I am invested in seeing what happens with Esther and Maria and also to learn more about the world! And the art makes me swoon. So many lovely colors and compliments. Everything looks well thought out and designed.
Great work and great comic. I can not wait to see more!
Keep up the hard work and being creative!

Small Business Can Succeed!
Small businesses are the backbone of the American economy. Typically a small business is defined as having fewer than 200 employees. Of all US businesses, it is estimated that more than 99% are small business. Nationally, small businesses:
Create 75% of all new jobs
Employ 52% of the business workforce
Produce 51% of our nations private sector gross domestic product (GDP)
Generate 96% of all the US exported goods and services
Include 7 million women and minority-owned firms
Provide about 67% of "first job" opportunities
Produce more than half of the innovations in products
As you can see, small businesses do succeed. Do you have what it takes?

Great statistics! And it's so important to know the numbers — we can make much smarter decisions when we can see where our income is coming from, where it's going, what's working and what's not.
And not only the USA. Here in NZ small business represents 80% of the business and when I visited India I met mainly small businesses. And small businesses need to do the accounting – otherwise they don't know where they are. But accounting is only one part and concentrating on the bottom line has gotten too many companies in trouble. People are what needs to be concentrated on – the buyer, the staff and the community. The bottom lime then takes care of itself but still needs accounting for
Thanks for the reminder that small business are the backbone of our economy. And I love the paradigm shift of accounting as a secret weapon. Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing the stats on small business. I have believed for a while now that it has been big business that was a big part of getting us into this economic mess, and it will be the small business that will pull us out!
I enjoy being a small business and entrepreneur, helping others to succeed is my passion. I meet so many others, especially the wonderful people in our TLC Club that all have the strong, positive and determined mindset to help each other succeed.
Your tip on knowing your company's financial status is very important and I agree with that 100%.
Great statistics and true! Small Businesses are the way to go. Large corporations (my opinion) have gotten us into this mess and small business will get us out!

The European Union has pledging to give the Palestinian Authority 15 million euros to cover the salaries of public employees—salaries that leader Mahmoud Abbas cut to keep up the P.A.'s payments to imprisoned and released terrorists, wounded terrorists and the families of dead terrorists.
Abbas has declared that the P.A. is "obligated" to continue rewarding the terrorist prisoners and families of so-called "martyrs."
Earlier this year, Israel decided to withhold from the tax money it collects on behalf of the P.A. an amount equaling the sum the P.A. pays to terrorist prisoners. These prisoners include mass murderers and heads of terror organizations. In response, the P.A. has refused to accept all the tax money, amounting to over 50 percent of its budget, thereby inflicting a serious financial crisis on itself.
To overcome this crisis—and in order to have money available to continue to pay the terrorists in full—the P.A. cut the salaries of its public employees by 50 percent.
According to the Palestinian Media Watch NGO, Abbas then turned to Europe for money, claiming Israel was responsible for the P.A.'s self-inflicted crisis.
The European Union has now answered his appeal.
E.U. Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy & Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn stated to the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee of P.A. donor countries in April: "We are all aware of the fiscal crisis the P.A. is facing and of the potential human, social and security consequences. Both sides need to move towards a solution. Israel's decision to withhold clearance revenues violates current arrangements. At the same time, we do not support the system of Palestinian payments to 'prisoners and martyrs.' "

SAN ANTONIO – Several Texas metros will need more apartments by 2030 to keep up with demand, according to a new study.
Dallas-Fort Worth will need an additional 266,296 units; Houston will need 214,176; and San Antonio will need 53,890.
An estimated 28 percent increase in apartment availability ranks San Antonio 11th among the top 50 in terms of percent increase in demand by 2030. The area has an estimated 195,198 apartments.
The study, commissioned by the National Multifamily Housing Council and the National Apartment Association, cited an aging population, international immigration, and declining home purchases as driving the increase in demand.
Nationally, 4.6 million new apartments will be needed by 2030 across all price points.

For an overview of the basic Tasks functionality watch the Getting Started video Getting Started 6 - Tasks. This will give you a good idea of how tasks are setup in Overture and how best to manage them.
Task Categories are selected during the Add Task process by opening the dropdown at the bottom of the form labelled Choose a category.
It's a good idea to get your task categories setup as early as possible especially if you work with a team and you need all members of the team to be able to correctly label their tasks. Categories for tasks can be setup from the Overture settings section, head over to Settings then select Tasks from the sidebar.
On this page you can see sections for adding your custom Task Categories and also sections where you can add Default tasks that will be automatically added to your bookings or events when you add them to the calendar. For now we will look at adding Task Categories.
It's easy to Add or Remove these categories. To add simply click the Add Field type the name you require and hit enter on your keyboard to save. In the screenshot below you an see I have added the categories Contract and Invoice. To remove a category just click on the bin icon at the end of the category row.
Back over at the tasks form you can see that the Categories menu now includes the further categories added.

Review: Persona 4
Pages 1 2 NEXT
Persona 4 is an addictive and unusual RPG that should not be missed. Oh, and did we mention that it's really, really weird?
*sigh* and I won't get a chance to play it until friday evening...
Stupid Canadian release date delays.
The way you described the game, reminds me of Psychonauts :)
But I didn't have the chance to play it (yet).
Digital Devil Saga was fun: 'Should I kill this person or just eat them?'
As a big fan of the Shin Megami Tensei series I got to buy this one.
Yes it was fun at times. Especially when Cielo talked. I just love that guy.
It sounds great. I looked it up on metacritic...it's for PS2? Too bad both of mine are broken :(
It was a lot more fun when you learned Iron Stomach; when you first start, the game seems to pick a certain character that always gets sick when you feed.
Square Enix have confirmed they're publishing it in Europe but I'm still gonna have to wait a while for this to come to the UK. Looks like it'll be worth it though, and I have Persona 3 FES to keep me going.
I didn't like the first one, but DDS2 was some kinda brilliance with an awesome skill system, really cool battles, hella awesome visuals and one of the best plots I've ever seen in gaming.
With the exception of the music, it kinda sounds like a Mother/Earthbound game that's rated M...
... I'm definitely intrigued.
That almost acurately describe Persona 3 actually. Haven't played 4 yet so I can't confirm that, but it's likely true.
They are a little less overtly silly than Earthbound though. and a LOT more Jpoppy, despite the Jpop Soundtracks in Persona being exceedingly well composed and not really gratting at all.
I have the battle music stuck in my head right now.
I loved the first one more than any other JRPG released to date, missed the second entirely and then was less than thrilled with the third. While Persona 3 wasn't bad, the characters seemed a lot more 'cute' than the original and the gameplay seemed limited in exploration and repetitive in tasks. Four looks a bit more promising, but considering the massive let-down I experienced from the third, how would you compare the two?
Sorry for the boring history lesson, this question's open to anybody who's played the games.
Another great review, and only mildly spoilerific. I don't know if I'm getting this one or not. Is the music really that repetitive? I've never been able to enjoy a JRPG with bad music, I don't know why. I think it's because JRPG's tend to be all about story and atmosphere, and music is vital to both of those, particularly the latter.
Also, is Context Sensitive ever coming back? I found that column to be particularly entertaining.
This isn't like any RPG music you've heard before, trust me.
My only complaint in 10 hours of game play is the fact they made the fusion puzzles from 3 into a Social Link (man I hate those so much). Other then that this improves on 3 in every way, and shouldn't be missed even if you're only vaguely interested in JRPGs.
I'm aware of that, I did play Persona 3. I did notice that the soundtrack to this game was much shorter than that of the previous title, but I didn't think much about it until reading this review. I can see it getting a little irritating.
To answer a few questions:
1. P4 is less cutesy than P3 simply because you're attempting to track down a serial killer. It's nowhere near as dark as, say, SMT: Nocturne, though.
2. The music isn't bad, it's just omnipresent. You WILL get it stuck in your head. The same song plays every time you get in a fight, and you'll get in hundreds and hundreds of fights. The other songs are less obtrusive, but that one...yeah, there's just no escaping it.
3. Yes, Context Sensitive will be coming back, just in a new form. :) Oh, and I kept the spoilers to an absolute minimum. Oh, the stuff I wanted to say.
This is listed as not going to be out in Europe until the second quarter of next year...I guess that gives me time to finish Persona 3, since I only started playing it recently.
It still doesn't seem as weird as Person3:FES (Or the original, for that matter). You fight a Jesus Demon, for Christs's sake (See what I did there? Ha... I'm so pthetic). Anyway, yeah, I'll have to get this game... later, in the summer, when I'm home, and have access to a PS2.
Speaking of this...
Has anyone else in Canada had trouble getting ahold of this? I have. So far it hasn't come in to any stores, it's "on order" but it hasn't arrived. Usually it doesn't take this long.
Music to Nocturne: http://ca.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=C500F04ECB528E42
Music to DDS: http://ca.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=D770BA0516B26E2D
Just so you can compare to the earlier stuff.
I'm not that far in yet, but I like the music a lot more in P4 and am finding it less aggravating. Overall it seems more poppy and less pseudo-jazzy.
Just got this game. I now have to properly welcome it.
Oh and don't get me started on my explanation of Persona 3
Stop me when it gets to weird, right so your a special kid who a robot battle girl sealed the embodiment of death inside your soul so that the world would be saved, later when you are older you are transferred to a new school and placed in a special dorm where you sign a contract with the creepy kid only you can see.
Then creepy hand rape things appear at an hour that exists between each day that normal people don't notice cause they transform into coffins.
The only way to make these Persona stronger is to become friends with the boys (and with the exception of the online gamer girl who turns out to be your teacher, and the lolita) and boyfriend to all the girls.
Then a dog and little kid join you around the time Hippie/Revolver/Vampire Jesus arrives with a nerd and a Gothic Lolita, Then the Robot Battle Chick joins you.
In short, Wake up, Go to school, save the world.
Conclusion: Only the Mother series can reach this level of mindfuckery.
I allways loved that the reason you can't use a gun was simply that it would SUCK to make THAT mistake in battle seeing as the Evoker to use your Persona is, well a Gun, that shoots trauma, lord knows what happens when you use it on a normal person, and in the heat of battle you don't wanna pull the wrong gun when your going to shoot yourself in the head.
Be lucky you can play at all. It's only on PS3, isn't it?
What Friday? I'm playing it now.
No it's on PS2
Son of a- sold mine last year. *Growls*
Well... That sucks then doesn't it.
Yes, the music. I liked it well enough to tolerate more than 100 hours of Persona 3 FES, but it drove my sister nearly to siblicide.
"Please, for God's sake just play Grand Theft Auto 4 already, ANYTHING. I'll pay you!"
Don't new 80gb PS3s come with software-based backwards compatibility? The PS website has a compatibility list for 80gb (60gbs have near-perfect hardware BC, heh) models, and Persona 3 FES is on that list. From that I assume that Persona 4 would also fit.
No the removed BC with the new versions, we are waiting for them to realize that was dumb and return it. your former player base doesn't have the drive to upgrade to the PS3 if your old PS3 games don't work on it.
By the way, does anyone else think "M Rated Pokemon" is a pretty good description of the Persona system?
Meaning the collecting of Persona's? nope I would say Digimon World 2 is closer, especially how you have to merge them to get stronger Persona.
Like Thanatos, Satan (THAT Satan) and Messiah.
This game seems like a definite 'do want' in my book but thanks to advent of what is known as college and the misery it caused me, my psyche has been battered and reformed in ways that I can't even begin to comprehend. In essence, I've become skeptical about EVERYTHING, even Persona 4. *cry*
Still, I'll buy if only to play it later when I'm not acting like such a mope.

By JIM KINNEY
SPRINGFIELD - The unemployment rate in Greater Springfield rose last month to 9.1 percent compared with 8.3 percent in May and 5.8 percent in June 2008.
"What that doesn't count is the underemployed, all those people who are working part-time but would rather be working full-time," said Ellis S. Delphin, director of programs and services at CareerPoint, a one-stop job center in Holyoke. "It also doesn't reflect all those people who stopped looking for jobs because they are frustrated."
There were 31,263 unemployed people last month in Greater Springfield, according to statistics released Tuesday by the state Executive Office of Unemployment Assistance. That's up from 28,644 in May and 20,042 in June 2008.
The state Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development released the following unemployment figures for June:
Greater Springfield:
9.1 percent
Greater Amherst:
6.7 percent
Greater Greenfield:
8.8 percent
8.7 percent
The number of people with jobs was 313,112 in June, down from 314,439 the month before and 327,002 in June 2008.
Robert W. Smith, director of policy and planning for the Executive Office of Labor and Workforce Development, said industrial cities such as Springfield and Holyoke are the hardest hit by the recession.
"These cities came into the recession sort of in a recession. They were already having tough times," he said.
Construction workers accounted for 20.8 percent of those without jobs in May, the most recent month for which industry-by-industry numbers are available, said Rexene A. Picard, executive director of FutureWorks, a one-stop career center on Federal Street in Springfield. Manufacturing was second at 19 percent.
"Unfortunately it continues a trend that we've seen of the production, manufacturing sector decreasing," she said. "And they are good-paying jobs."
Unemployment also went up in the Amherst area from 4.1 percent in May to 6.7 percent in June, a change the state blamed on seasonal fluctuations. The Amherst-area unemployment rate was 4.8 percent in June 2008, also according to the state.
In the Greenfield area, the unemployment rate was 8.8 percent in June, up from 7.8 percent in May and 5.6 percent in June 2008.
Statewide, the seasonally unadjusted unemployment rate increased to 8.7 percent from 8 percent in May and 5.2 percent in June 2008. The national rate was 9.5 percent, up from 9.4 percent in May and 5.6 percent in June 2008.
Picard said 16,585 job seekers came to FutureWorks looking for jobs in the fiscal year that just ended July 1. That was 6.5 percent higher then the 15,570 job seekers who came to the center in the previous fiscal year.
The number of job openings posted was 3,531, 38 percent lower than the 5,701 jobs posted in the previous fiscal year.

Criticism over Tayside beaver trap plan
- Published
Campaigners have hit out at plans to trap escaped beavers that are now living wild on rivers in Tayside.
Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH) announced earlier this week that it intended to recapture up to 20 beavers that have escaped from private collections.
Naturalist Derek Gow said the plan was "ill considered and profoundly wrong".
But SNH said it was necessary for the animal's welfare and because their release had been illegal.
A formal trial reintroduction of beavers is currently under way in Knapdale, Argyll.
The escaped beavers are currently living on the River Tay and its tributaries in Perthshire and Angus.
Mr Gow said: "If Scottish Natural Heritage decides to move against this population then they will do so for reasons which have nothing to do with welfare and little with legality.
"Their action will be principally inspired because they are the 'wrong beavers' in their reckoning.
The naturalist, who quarantined the animals released in the Argyll trial, said the trapping plan was being done to "quietly assuage" landowners and to protect a "perceived threat" to the Knapdale project.
Some of the feral beavers in Tayside have bred since their escape
Campaigners, who have set up a Facebook group calling to "save the free beavers of the Tay", are concerned a trapping trial that captured adults only would leave young kits to fend for themselves.
Mr Gow added that he believed the beavers will be killed rather than rehoused as there was no zoological facility in Britain or Europe with the capacity to keep them.
Animal welfare
SNH told BBC Scotland the organisation had been advised that the two 18-month-old kits were be capable of survival without their mother.
A spokesman said: "Had the keepers of these animals fulfilled their responsibility and prevented their escape in the first place, we would not be in this position.
"That is why we are now liaising with the keepers of beavers to ensure that their collections are appropriately kept with regards to both security and their welfare.
"The fact remains that leaving these animals in the wild would mean choosing to ignore well-established wildlife legislation. This is not something that SNH, or any other government organisation, can do."
SNH said the animals needed to be recaptured because the Scottish government may decide to abandon the reintroduction of beavers after the Knapdale trial.
The spokesman added that the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland would house the captured animals until permanent homes could be found for them.

Well, I decided one day that my life wasn't busy enough, so I took a trip to home depot and bought some tools. Shortly there after, I realized it wasn't enough tools, so I bought some more, and then a few more after that. Somewhere along the process I decided I needed to actually use them. So I built a few things. Maybe they are not the most "square," or maybe they are not "structurally sound," but I built them, and that feels good enough.
The first one is a cat house. I decided my cat needed a refuge from the dog. I bought some wood at H D*, big mistake. This wood started falling apart, cracking, warping, (insert bad thing here). You name it, the wood did it. So after all was said and done, it didn't look very inviting. And cats can be picky. So I got in the car once more, and bought some MDF to remedy the situation. It helped, a lot, but it still has some problems.
I plan on making a new one in the future. A couple new features to add to it, and an exercise wheel, because my cat is getting fat now that he doesn't have to always run from the dog.
Inside there is a ramp, and I attached two bells, for the cat to play with on the front. All the floors have carpet, and one of the ceilings, (my girlfriend did the carpet…(I hope she doesn't read this)). On top, I took his bed that use to be on the floor, and used velcro to attach it.

Clinical Research Trials
Clinical research trials help us evaluate new cancer drugs and treatments, as well as discover ways to prevent disease. As a participant in a clinical trial, you can have early access to promising therapies before they are widely available.
Gibbs Cancer Center is currently participating in more than 150 cancer trials as part of our commitment to offer you the most advanced, state-of-the-art cancer treatments possible.
Your cancer team will keep you informed about clinical trials that may improve your quality of life or help you live longer. If there is a clinical trial that applies to your particular type of cancer, your treatment team will evaluate your eligibility to participate. We will consider the trial's parameters, the type and stage of your cancer, and your overall physical and medical condition.
Team members will explain in detail the potential benefits and risks of a trial. The final decision to participate in a clinical trial is always up to you.
Why Participate?
As a participant in a clinical trial, you have the chance to help prevent, treat or even cure cancers for future patients, while getting expert medical care for yourself. You'll receive additional care and monitoring that goes beyond standard cancer treatment.
Gibbs staffs the largest research and clinical trials team in the Upstate, with specially trained research nurses and support staff as well as doctors, technicians, social workers and other specialized medical professionals to carefully monitor your health before, during and after the study.
You will be paired with a research nurse who has extensive experience working with people who have cancer. Your nurse will coordinate your care, provide compassionate support and keep you informed about everything that's happening.
As we strictly follow meticulous protocols, your safety will always be our most important consideration.
Without clinical trials, we would not have the improvements in cancer care we have today. By choosing to join this important investigational process, you become part of something larger than yourself. You're able to transcend your own illness and contribute to the greater good by helping to improve future treatments, possibly for yourself, a family member or friend.
Our Research Networks
Gibbs Cancer Center & Research Institute is one of the largest cancer research centers in South Carolina. We collaborate with a number of organizations to provide our patients with the broadest possible access to clinical trials.
Our affiliations include:
- Upstate Carolina Consortium NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP), integrates three affiliates who together have a well-established history of NCI participation. Affiliates include Spartanburg Medical Center, Bon Secours St. Francis Hospital and AnMed Health Cancer Center. Upstate Carolina NCORP broadens the reach of clinical trials so people can participate while remaining in their own communities.
- Guardian Research Network, a nationwide collaborative of nearly 80 hospitals in 10 states aimed at accelerating the clinical trial and drug development process. It works to bring advanced therapies to people in their communities so they can participate in clinical trials without traveling to distant medical sites.
- Duke Cancer Network, which provides our patients access to additional clinical trials and offers educational support for our researchers.

Saw a Super-Tiger .074 at a local model shop. It is rigged for RC with
2 adjuster screws (idle & high rpm) and throttle lever(for the servo) .
Since Control Line is basically full throttle flight only, why could i
not make and attach an an "adjuster rod" connected to the
engine's throttle lever ? The salesman seemed discouraging to the idea.
1. I would have to attach glow wire.
2. I would start it on low RPM, and adjust throttle lever upward to nearly full throttle for C/L flight and fly it until fuel exhausted.
Is there anything i am missing here other than crafting and attaching
a throttle lever?? or Is there something peculiar to RC throttle engines
and their operation??

On Wednesday, I did a post on some of my favorite Bruce Springsteen covers, by women. In it, I asked for suggestions for more, and people came up with so many good covers — many of which I had not heard before — that I decided to put together this follow-up post, compiling videos for them.
Since a couple of people have brought it up, I want to mention that I did not include Patti Smith's "Because the Night" since she co-wrote it, and I therefore consider it a collaboration, not a cover.
Also, in some cases, people suggested videos for which YouTube videos do not seem to be available, so I was not able to include those.
(10/15/16 Update: I have now added a Part 3 as well).
(1/1/17 Update: I have now added a Part 4 as well, plus an index to the entire series).
(7/2/17 Update: I have now added a Part 5 as well).

The HMA VPN client for Windows and Mac offers several options to connect to a random VPN server.
You have 3 general random connection options, which are:
- Connect to a random server (not recommended)
This connects you to a random VPN server from HMA's complete list of servers around the world.
This is not recommended, since it can connect you to a server that is located far away from you; possibly resulting in lower speeds and connection quality. We recommend to instead use the next method ->
- Connect to a random server (Custom)
This option connects you to a random VPN server from a list you need to define yourself in the "Country Selection" tab. To do this, first select "Connect to a random server (Custom)" in the dropdown list. Then switch to the "Country Selection" tab and check all servers you would like to have in this custom list.
Using this method is recommended, because you can select your favorite / fastest servers, and leave out servers you don't use or need. This provides a better connection quality and speed, when servers are nearby located.
- Random 10 closest servers based on geographic distance
This option connects you to one of the 10 VPN servers that are closest to your physical location and should therefor also be the fastest servers for you. If the country selection itself does not matter for you, this option will connect you to the nearest servers.
Besides those, you also have random server connection options for each country that has at least 2 VPN servers; e.g.
- Random North America - United States of America
- Random Europe - United Kingdom
- Random Asia - Singapore
etc. - so if you wish to connect to a random server from a specific country, just look for the random server option of the corresponding country.

Surge in prices boosts drug industry profits
Brad Dixon
14 July 2015
An investigation by Bloomberg News, published earlier this year, has found that in recent years the increases in the prices of competing prescription drugs rose in lockstep by about the same amount at the same time. "Contrary to the consumer's ideal in which bare-knuckled rivals cut prices to grab market share," the report notes, "competitors in branded pharmaceuticals often drive each other's prices higher."
The news outlet surveyed drug brands with at least $350 million in U.S. sales in the past year. Drug companies evade anti-trust laws by independently following each other's drug price increases, as opposed to active collusion. This practice is known as "shadow pricing."
For example, Bloomberg found that the prices of the long-lasting injectable insulin drugs Lantus (marketed by Sanofi) and Lemivir (sold by Novo Nordisk) have increased in tandem 13 times since 2009. Similar price increases were found for the shorter-acting insulin drugs, Humalog (Eli Lilly) and Novolog (Novo Nordisk).
The news outlet found that at least 30 brand-name pharmaceuticals sold in the U.S. have more than doubled their price tags in the past 5 years. They include: Xyrem, a treatment for narcolepsy symptoms marketed by Jazz Pharmaceuticals (350 percent price increase); Epipen, sold by Mylan to address allergic reactions (223 percent); Premarin Vagina Cream, sold by Pfizer to treat menopausal symptoms (218 percent); Synthoid, a thyroid hormone marketed by AbbVie (149 percent); and Welchol, a treatment for high cholesterol sold by Daiichi Sankyo (139 percent).
Drug companies contacted by the news outlet responded with a litany of excuses, arguing that discounts and assistance programs, or simply the "significant value" the drugs provide their customers, justified the enormous price hikes.
The Bloomberg report follows a number of studies highlighting the skyrocketing costs of prescription drugs.
A recent article published in the journal Neurology found that treatments for multiple sclerosis now cost seven times more than they did in 1995, far above the rate of inflation. The lowest-priced treatment currently stands at $50,000 a year. According to the researchers, "the simplest explanation is that pharmaceutical companies raise prices of new and old MS DMTs [multiple sclerosis disease modifying therapies] in the United States to increase profits and our health care system puts no limits on these increases."
Likewise, a study published in March by pharmacy benefits manager Express Scripts found that 2014 witnessed the highest annual increase in drug spending in the U.S. since 2003. Spending by commercially insured patients rose by 13 percent. Driving much of the increase was spending on Hepatitis C medications, which grew by 742.6 percent in 2014 compared to the previous year. For example, the hepatitis C treatment Harvoni (marketed by Gilead), with an estimated patient population of 3 million, is priced at $33,000 for a 30-day prescription.
Generic drugs, which are supposed to provide a lower-cost alternative to branded drugs, have seen similar price hikes. The Chicago Tribune reports that the price of the 50 most popular generic drugs rose from $13.14 per prescription in 2010 to $62.10 in 2014—an increase of 473 percent.
The pharmaceutical industry argues that these exorbitant drug prices are necessary for it to recoup the costs of research and development, including the costs incurred during the three phases of clinical trials necessary for FDA approval.
Calculating the costs of producing a new drug requires taking into account a number of complex variables. To ensure that an industry-friendly figure was arrived at, drug makers helped finance the formation of the Tufts University Center for the Study of Drug Development in the mid-1980s. Starting in 1991, a group of economists at the center led by Joseph A. DiMasi have regularly issued estimates of the cost of producing a new drug that inevitably inflate the figures. Thus, according to the Center, the cost of producing a new drug was $114 million in 1991, $802 million in 2001 (or $1 billion in 2013 dollars), and $2.6 billion in 2014.
However, the Tufts estimates make a number of unwarranted assumptions, resulting in an inflated figure that is then promoted by the pharmaceutical industry and its trade association, PhRMA.
The 2014 figure was derived from data provided by 10 pharmaceutical companies based on 106 randomly selected drugs that entered human testing between 1995 and 2007. Information on the study's methodology is limited to a PowerPoint presentation released by the authors.
The $2.6 billion figure includes both the estimated cost of drug failures and opportunity costs of capital.
"Because the R&D process is marked by substantial technical risks," says DiMasi, the principal investigator of the study, "the expenditures incurred for many development projects that fail to result in a marketed product, our estimate links the costs of unsuccessful projects to those that are successful in obtaining marketing approval from regulatory authorities."
The Tufts study arrived at a figure of $1.4 billion for average out-of-pocket costs (including failures). It then doubled the price tag by including $1.2 billion in "time costs," or returns that investors forgo while the drug is under development. That is, the figure eliminates all financial risk from the equation.
The figure, moreover, ignores the role that public research institutions and universities play in subsidizing much of the basic research that undergirds drug discovery and development. Additionally, the study fails to consider the tax credits and other incentives offered to drug makers working on "orphan diseases."
Depending on how the companies do their bookkeeping, marketing expenses may also be included in the estimate. Even areas that could be viewed as legitimate R&D expenses, such as clinical trials, are often themselves simply marketing ploys. So-called "seeding trials," for instance, are clinical trials conducted not to establish the safety or efficacy of a drug, but simply to get physicians used to prescribing it. A particularly egregious example of this practice by the pharmaceutical company Parke-Davis (now a subsidiary Pfizer) was highlighted in a 2011 article in the journal Archives of Internal Medicine, which reassessed the company's "study" of the seizure drug Neurontin.
While the Tufts figure continues to be touted as a justification for high drug prices, the pharmaceutical industry maintains the highest profit margins of any industrial sector (including banking), with an average of 20 percent in 2013, according to the BBC. That year, drug maker Pfizer reported a 42 percent profit margin, while Hoffman-La Roche, AbbVie, GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and Eli Lilly all saw profit margins of 20 percent or more.
An analysis of the corporate filings of the 11 largest drug makers between 2003 and 2012 by the lobbying group Health Care for America Now (HCAN) found that these drug companies pulled in $711.4 billion in profits over the course of 10 years. In 2012, the companies made $83.9 billion in profits, a 62 percent increase over the 2003 figure.

White Galaxy Nexus Stars in Unboxing Video
Today is a pretty good day for Android enthusiasts as the white Samsung Galaxy Nexus has officially gone on sale at retailers in the United Kingdom. Now, that doesn't mean that those of you in the United States can't pick one up. You can. You'll just have to buy it in unlocked form from a retailer like Negri Electronics who is selling it for $650 off-contract. If you're seriously thinking about doing that, an unboxing video has arrived showing the beast off.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was released globally last year with Verizon in the United States playing host to the 4G LTE version of the smartphone. The white model is not a 4G LTE smartphone. Instead, it's the GSM 3G model so don't expect to see data speeds that can get up to 10 times faster than 3G.
Don't believe me? Check out this video below:
Point is, it might be in your best interested to check out the 4G LTE version before your splurge for those one.
We thought that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus was one of the best Android smartphones to ever grace shelves and because the GSM model is only a little different, you can expect the same quality.
Spec-wise, it features a 4.65'' HD Super AMOLED display which boasts 720p resolution or 1280×720. It will have a 5MP camera up in the front. A front-facing camera for video chat. It'll also have a 1.2GHz dual core processor and HSPA+ 4G connectivity.
In addition, it features Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, Google's new operating system, right out of the box.
You can see it all in this white Galaxy Nexus unboxing video:
There's no sound unfortunately, but the video tour will probably provide you with the eyes-on that you've been waiting for.
Before you buy, you'll also want to read our full review of the Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus which will also help give you better idea about what you might be getting into should you buy one of these.
Just remember, the white model is not 4G LTE.

TACHS Exam
Learn about the TACHS Test
Practice TACHS Test
Taking the TACHS Exam is an important step in the right direction for your son or daughter. The reality is, that any Catholic High School they select is going to provide them with quality education based on solid Catholic values. Several of our teachers offer TACHS review classes outside of school. When we asked them to provide us with a review that your child could conduct online, they were more than happy to provide us with the two sample tests in the left hand column. We would like to personally thank both Mrs. Kadu and Mrs. Lambert for putting these documents together.
Please note, that while these practice tests are a good source to use in preparation for the exam, they are not meant to substitute any other study mechanisms your child is currently using.
Are you registered for the TACHS Exam yet? Registration is easy and can be done online. Please visit the official TACHS Exam website through the link below to learn more.
Did you know that St. Joseph by-the-Sea gives out more academic scholarship money to 8th grade students than all the other Catholic High Schools on Staten Island combined? We strive to keep our tuition costs low in order to offer the most advanced Catholic Education to the largest pool of applicants.
TACHS Test Frequently Asked Questions:
1) Do you have to put Sea first in order to gain admission?
We reccommend putting us first, and here's why. Our school gives out the most scholarship money among Catholic High Schools on the Island. Therefore, those who put us first, have a better chance of not only getting accepted, but also receiving financial compensation. The other reason we reccommend putting Sea first is because we accept both boys and girls, and therefore need to balance our acceptance ratio for each. Schools that accept only boys or only girls are more liberal with accepting students that put them as second choice because it isn't neccessary for them to balance their freshman class the way we need to here at Sea.
2) Is it true that St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School has the lowest tuition?
Yes. We strive to keep our costs low, and are proud to say that we have the lowest tuition among Catholic High School's on Staten Island.
3) Do you consider students who do not do exceptionally well on the TACHS Exam, but do however demonstrate high marks in general in their current school?
We are aware that not all students are great test takers. Should a circumstance arise where a student does exhibit high grades throughout his/her elementary carreer, and for some reason does poorly on the TACHS, our door is open for conversation. Be advised that we will use report cards as well as the reccommendation of your child's current principal in our deliberation.
Should you have any other questions, comments, or concerns please do not hesitate to call us directly at (718) 984-6500. We wish your child nothing but success in all their future endeavors.

To my knowledge I was running the standard firmware from Samsung FROYO.BOJS4, last night I updated two apps (farm tower HD and 3g watchdog). This morning I rebooted the phone and all the shortcuts on the home screen have gone, my contacts have disappeared (I should / hope I have them backed up at work) but the strangest thing is in settings the firmware is reported as FROYO.BOJS5!
I connected via USB to PC running Kies which says I have the latest firmware version which is FROYO.BOJS4, why is it reported differently in both places?
Only other strange things that I've noticed is that the first time I went to the market it looked different skin wise but this seems to have corrected itself since and lastly on booting the phone, when the security pattern is to be entered the phone vibrates once, then twice moments later - the usual signal to let you know some software has crashed but it doesn't say what it is. Any ideas / help would be much appreciated!

Any poem respected by Edgar Allan Poe to the extent that he would include it in his personal explanation of poetry should be exceptional, but 'Bridge of Sighs' by Thomas Hood is with certainty the best poem I have ever read. A reflective work, it tells the story of a young woman without a love in the world, but suggests there was a passion behind her dramatic suicide. The narrator blames the girl's self-destruction on her being a fickle woman, 'One of Eve's family' (l. 27)and implies that her death was spurred by incredible loneliness. He admonishes the man who finds the body of this Ophelia ignore her sins, and simply admire her beauty and bravery, and pity her bad lot in life.
In the first 2 stanzas, each alternating 3- and 2- foot lines with an 'abab' rhyme pattern, the narrator uses a steady and simple rhythm to establish the somber, introspective mood of the poem.
A feeling of pity for the beautiful but obsessive subject is set. Every line of the poem is begun with a single trochaic foot, with iambs completing the line. This emphasizes the first syllable, and I feel, gives a driving force rather than a rolling tune to the poem.
The next stanza first hints at the nature of the woman's death, describing her sodden clothes. 'Take her up instantly,/Loving, not loathing.--'(ll.13-14) says the narrator, asking the finder of the body to feel only warmth for this poor girl. These two lines prepare the reader for the next two stanzas, which exhort the discoverer of this cadaver to not focus on 'her mutiny' and sin in suicide, but admire her loveliness and 'Think of her mournfully,/Gently and humanly;' (ll. 16-17). The rhyme scheme of these longer stanzas is irregular but lyrical and leads neatly...

American Axle to set up $40m plant in Thailand
American Axle & Manufacturing Holdings Inc said on Thursday it planned to invest $40 million to build its first plant in Thailand as part of its drive to expand production in Asia, reported Reuters.
The 120,000 square feet (11,150 sq metre) plant, located on the Hemaraj industrial estate in the eastern province of Rayong, will begin production in April 2010, John Bellanti, its executive vice president for worldwide operations, told a news conference.
The Thai plant, the company's third in Asia after those in China and India, will supply all the driveline products it makes to General Motors Corp for 90,000 units of pickup trucks and SUVs a year, Bellanti said.
Detroit-based Axle has restructured its business at home, where it is battling a steep drop in sales of trucks and SUVs for which it produces parts, and is now focusing on overseas markets where there is potential for growth, Bellanti said.
The new Thai plant is expected to create about 230 engineering and manufacturing jobs, the company said.

First off:
Postby Wheelerof4te » 2018-04-27 18:43
Inspired by this old post and the recent update on Buster's release status, I would like to re-visit this topic. We are currently in 27th of April, 2018th. Ubuntu 18.04 has just been released, and it's looking more user-friendly than ever.
Then maybe the OP should be using Ubuntu ?
I saw in the thread, "user friendly", and someone said:
""user-friendly" is one of those words i can never write without quotes."
it's just wrong.".... Not just wrong, but it is just a opinion.
For example, in my opinion (not worth much), but any way, Ubuntu is not at all "user" or "admin" friendly, 2nd compared with MS windows, that has to be the most user unfriendly system I have ever tried to use, and it is even more of a nightmare to administer and install. Linux Mint, takes 3rd place, or ties with
Ubuntu, as far as user unfriendly, Another very admin unfriendly system is CentOS, all though once the system administrator gets through the install, it is possible to configure it so that it is relatively user friendly for the end user.
Most "end users" or users are not qualified to be installing any Operating System, I don't care if it is MS windows, Ubuntu, Liunx Mint, or what ever.
Debian can be installed and setup to be very easy to use, so that it is a extremely "user freindly", how ever it is not something just anybody can do, the person installing it should be capable of installing and administrating the OS, other wise they are going to set up what could be a very "user unfriendly" system.
So with all that said, if the OP or anyone else feels Debian is to complicated for the to install and setup, and they are unable to set up a "user friendly" system
then they should use what ever is easier for them, or find a qualified technician
to install and set up the system.
Setting up a "user friendly" system also depends on who the "user" or "users" will be, for example in a office situation, and the secretaries are the main users, all you really need to do is give them a menu, with the options to use the programs they need to use, you can even configure the Debian system to look and feel like windows, if that will keep the secretaries (end users) happy....
Then recently I read somewhere here on this forum, a link to some article about MS windows now including Linux and even Debian, if one chooses, I don't know how true that is, nor exactly how they work that, don't care really, I guess it is some kind of Virtual environment or something, but heck, If your end users must have certain programs that can only be run on Windows, it is not that hard to set up a Virtual Machine, and have Windows as a guest system, one could even include starting the VM in the menu options they give the users. Example: "Start-windows",... the user just selects and "clicks" it, and the windows guest starts up,...
My granddaughter , now almost 7, thinks Debian is very user friendly, and it is , for her, the desk top has all her "icons", all she has to do is click the one she wants, it could be a game, or if she wants FaceBook, there is a icon for that, the browser (Fire fox-esr), she just clicks the icon,...nothing complicated.
The point is , Debian can be as "user friendly" as the system admin wants to make it,...
And if you are not qualified to install and set up a "user freindly' system, then don't, find someone qualified to do that for you, or take the time to read and study, and then you can install and setup what ever OS you want, and you can make it as user friendly as you need.
The Debian developers give you a good OS, but how can they possibly decide
what setup and configuration will be best for the "users", this is something the system admin needs to do, according to the "users" needs and limitations.

STB Engineering has many years of experience in the bulk outloading sector. We can deliver telescopic loading chutes for dust-free loading of bulk solids into trucks, tankers, railcars, ships and stockpiles.
Our telescopic loading spouts are carefully designed to maximise safety and eradicate material losses, reduce dust pollution and eliminating problems with local authorities.
Hennlich Engineering is the leading manufacturer of telescopic loading spouts – we have been producing them since 1996. Their bulk loading spouts eliminate dust, eradicate material losses and increase safety when working with bulk solids. They design, manufacture and deliver telescopic loading spouts for dust-free loading of bulk solids into tankers, railcars, trucks, ships and stockpiles.
Each bulk outloading spout design is determined by the following:
- product being handled
- product characteristics (abrasive, corrosive, explosive, hygroscopic etc.)
- loading rate
- particle size
- product bulk density
- Retracted and extended length
- Operating temperature (ambient, product)
We have three types of loading chute to suit your needs: tanker loading spout; truck/wagon/open pile loading spout; combined loading spout. We are also happy to create customised solutions for your bulk solid loading needs. For example: Want to load more efficiently?
A loading spout with a spreader is the best choice!
This unique spout is used for loading light products that leave an empty space in the tanker when they are gravity loaded. That makes shipping more expensive.
The spreader's motor is situated in the bottom of the loading spout and is operated by a frequency convertor that assures the material is spread evenly into the tanker.
Contact STB Engineering to discuss your needs.

Remember me
Lost your password?
If I say, "Hello," it is not a stretch to think that the answer will be something like…well… "Hello."
However, if I say, "Hello" to a dead person, a two-way conversation may hit a wall.
Greeting, let alone conversing with, a dead person might be considered by some to be anything from quirky to insane.
What IS the difference between talking to a dead person and talking to a live one? The first thing that comes to my mind is that dead people don't reply. And yet, Christians have been talking to dead people for centuries.
The Christian conversation with "dead" people starts with talking to Jesus.
You might respond, "But Jesus isn't dead!" and I would say, "Aha, you're making my point!"
It seems to me that the difference between talking to a dead person and talking to a live one is a faith matter! More specifically, it has to do with whether one believes life exists after death. And this is at the root of who Jesus is, what He did, where He is now and what He means to us.
But to say that faith explains the difference between talking to a dead person and talking to a live one is an easy-sort-of, almost cop-out or expected type of answer to what is a very tough nut to crack. And while it may not be an easy answer to a cop out, Jesus, through Luke, Cleopas and the Emmaus story, shows us a path to absorbing this elusive thing, faith.
Along the road, Jesus explained about Himself from the scriptures, but the Apostles still did not understand who or what He was. But they did not have to wait long for their eyes to be opened, and it was Communion, the Eucharist, that opened them.
Jesus revealed the formerly hidden messages of Scripture. He showed Himself to be The Christ of the Old Testament. And even more amazingly, the Apostles eyes where opened to knowing that this was Jesus there with them! He had risen from the dead! And maybe now with our eyes newly opened by such things as the elucidation of the Scriptures and the "Breaking of the Bread", we will be able to see Christ's victory over death too.
It is as if with Christ, a Holy atomic bomb blows open the graves and, opposite to a bomb of death, brings life to all those who have died.
This, oddly, brings in the title topic of "weird" looking icons.
It is the "weird" look of icons that emphasizes and articulates the concept of people being dead-but-not-dead! The idea that someone could be dead-but-not-dead is the one taught in Emmaus (and in all of the Resurrection messages of Jesus).
The way people are depicted in icons is, on the one hand, visibly decipherable as being completely human and like us. Yet on the other hand, iconographic, artistic flair portrays these dead-but-not-dead people in an abstracted, stylized way that proclaims in a poem for the eye that these people are in heaven. For an artist to paint a portrait of someone who is dead-but-not-dead presents a formidable challenge. The answer is revealed as being that "weird" look expressed in Orthodox iconography.
As such, we have a double, mysterious blessing for finding the faith to talk with "dead" people.
The mystery of being dead-but-not-dead is revealed in Jesus-explained Scripture and in the mystery of the "weird" art of Orthodox iconography!

I've been producing art since early childhood. I've been producing art as an adult child, professionally, as an iconographer for several decades now. Now, I have taken to writing down some thoughts.

If St. Paul had a Cheers, it'd be Half Time Rec. The well-worn watering hole on Front Avenue is a place out of time. With Friday meat raffles, pull tabs, and pre-recession tap prices, it could exist anywhere or in any era, and it'd still be the first place you'd go for a burger and a beer. Take your dad here to celebrate his retirement. Take your cousin here to celebrate her 21st birthday. If you're a human being with a mouth and a wallet, you'll feel like you belong.

During last 84 days, an old Cuban fisherman Santiago goes to the sea but cannot get any fish. His small friend Manolin continues to help him, although his father prohibits to do this. But the old and young men still see each other and speak about this and that. At 85th day old fisherman again goes to the sea as always on his small sailboat. This time he is being lucky and catching such big marlin, that nobody saw before. Next several days a big fight takes place between the man and the fish. Finally Santiago manages to exhaust and kill the huge fish. But marlin takes boat far away into the sea. It's very hard to take the catch to the shore, too many sharks want to get a helpless flesh.

A damp and windy day in Macclesfield, did not prevent personal bests by Chorley athletes at the North of England Track and Field competition.
The newly formed ladies 4x100 relay squad of Eluned Smith, Holly Ainscow, Anya Townsend and Kath Townsend achieved a brilliant fifth place.
New athlete Holly achieved a fourth place in the 100m A race, and went on to gain valuable points at 200m, javelin and triple jump events.
As always, Eluned competed strongly and achieved PBs in long and triple jumps, discus and shot putt. Junior Anya achieved PBs in discus and shot, but just missed out on top spot in the javelin.
Multi-event specialist, Ian Gouldthorpe achieved a PB in javelin of 29.01m, as well as very good results in 100m, discus, shot, long and triple jumps.
Just back from injury, Rick Cordwell and John Wright were happy to compete well in the 100m, 200m and 400m sprints, as well as several field events. With all middle distance runners missing, Simon Townsend ran in the 800, 1500 and 5000m races.
The 4x100m relay team of John, Ian, Simon and Rick managed to get the baton around to just be beaten to 7th position.
The driving rain and thunderous skies warned off athletes for the final 2012 Chorley Park Series race although it relented more-or-less during the race.
Of those brave enough to venture forth it was marvellous to watch two Chorley athletes racing for first place with junior male Adam Sciacca eventually getting the better of Keith Johnston.

This trend has stayed true for over 50 years, and this time would also not be an exception.
With areas like space exploration, artificial intelligence, the internet of things, and a few others getting more research and an heavy influx of funding, the markets and everything as we know it could change.
What is unknown always brings with it new possibilities. So we should brace ourselves for a whole new revolution, for we may never know which direction it could come from.
Preparation is everything, and the next batch of world $ billionaires would turnout from this.

In Africa, especially Nigeria, entrepreneurs are always too slow to spot opportunities, or maybe the opportunities cost too much to take advantage of. But having rare knowledge would ultimately keep you prepared for the right time to act.
Not all wealthy people would maintain their status for a long time. There's a reason a younger generation with no cash in their pockets, but a dream and will, bigger than the elites could ever have, always eventually end up replacing them in the society, with no possibility of them ever catching up to regain their status and control.
If you're cash crunch or have some capital, do this instead:
Don't chase business ideas in this economic crisis. It's a tad too risky if the idea fails and you end up in a worse situation than you already are. Chase rather, business opportunities, acquire a rare but highly valuable skill, and STUDY social psychology, personal development, and business books LIKE HELL! So that when we're out of the crisis and a new era of things set in, you may have rare knowledge and some capital to solve the problems that everyone was too busy to even have the hindsight to spot.
Besides, "when preparation meets opportunity, success happens!"
