ProductHTML Builder (front-end)
Posted 4 years ago Byspysofly
Integration of HTML builder into my wordpress website
by spysofly / October 27, 2014, 2:41 am
awesome development!! So thanks for this first of all
I just have a question. I want to integrate this into my wordpress website. I believe the only option I would have is implementing it via iframe either into a page or into a modal/lightbox. I would love to have it integrated as regular page but will run into troubles because of the page height as I belive I cant set the height of an iframe to 100% and I want to avoid having to use 2 scrollbars to navigate within the page where html builder will be located…
I was wondering if you could give me a tip, what the best practice would be to implement this script into my wp theme.
Please let me know.
Thank you!!
Best regards,
I have just tried to implement and output the script in an iframe, but for some reason it always opens as full/blank window rather than in my wordpress page.
do you know why?
Hi Hans,
Unfortunately, HTML Builder was not built with Wordpress integration in mind and therefor making this happen could be pretty difficult I'm afraid.
I'm am more of a front-end developer, rather then PHP/Wordpress developer so I'm afraid I can't be of much assistance here :(
If you could show me a page where you have the Builder setup within an iframe I might be able to see if there's some CSS which you could apply to make it render properly.
Hi! Thanks for your reply.
I dont think my issue has anything to do with wordpress itself. Please have a look at www.yahost.co.uk
On the very top of the page you will see a link which I called "Free Sitebuilder"
Your application is actually embedded into an iframe on this page:
but instead of opening in the page as iframe, it simply somehow breaks out of it, and shows your script over the full browser window.
I have done exactly the same thing with a standalone php script, which is right next to that link and is called "Support Login" and works without problems.
Other than that, your script works perfectly and is really wonderful :)
It would be really great though if I could somehow open it as iframe within my website.
Any ideas?
Thanks again... really appreciate your help
Best regards,
Hi Hans,
Just had a look, but the sidebuilder loads fine and looks fine to me?
the builder is totally fine. but i was hoping i can get it to open within the iframe. for some reason it opens in a blank page, altough its supposed to open within my wordpress page.
the builder somehow opens in a blank window anyway. do you know why?
That's hard for me to see from here; when looking at your homepage and checking the "Site Builder" link, it's linked to "http://www.yahost.co.uk/sitebuilder/" which is simply the install of your Builder script. I don't really see how iframes are in play here...
If I would want this to open as part of a Wordpress page inside an iframe, I would create a new page template file which has nothing but an iframe with it's src pointing the the Builder script. Then create a new page using this page template and finally point your "Site Builder" link to this new page.
Thats exactly what I did. I just figured out what the problem was - the wp pagename and the name of the folder on the server for your software were the same. instead of opening my wp page with the iframe in it, it opened the folder location on the server. i changed the foldername and it worked. somehow the navigation of your software dissapears on the left side though.
do you think there is anything i can do about that? if fixing it is too much work, i will consider to just open the iframe up in a lightbox....
would be great if it could somehow work though..
thanks for support!
best regards
Hi Hans,
Just had a peak, but the navigation and entire Builder appears ok to me, pls see the screenshot here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3624455/screenshot.png

Harsh weather, especially the monsoons, rob you hair of natural luster and moisture. A good oil massage on a regular basis however, will help improve blood circulation in the scalp, hence strengthening the hair from the roots, and preventing hair fall.
Conditioners contain de-tangling ingredients that on one hand, keep your hair smooth but on the other, lead to accumulation of grease. Which is why, you should opt for dry shampoo! It comes in the form of sprays and powders that soak up extra oil from the hair and scalp.
Shampoo your hair gently and do not, we repeat, do not wash it off vigorously. Instead, rinse it out gently throughout the length of your mane. Scrubbing too hard leads to hair breakage and damage. Also, always follow it up with a conditioner!
If you've been experiencing considerable hair fall lately and all your attempts seem futile, you're probably unaware of how your diet is affecting you. Consume Vitamin C rich fruits like oranges and lime that support iron absorption, the lack of which causes hair fall. Stock up on protein with chicken - the building block of the body. It helps strengthen hair as well.
Turn to Salicylic acid for help – Apply post-shave products that contain this ingredient, as it actively treats razor bumps, exfoliates and moisturizes your skin. In addition, take antibiotics suggested by your dermatologist to speed up the healing process.
Ghee or clarified butter acts as a natural lip hydrant. Slap on some before going to bed every night and wake up to healed, soft lips. Also, invest in a good quality lip balm for when you're on the go – make sure it contains SPF of at least 15.
In your teenage years, your skin starts breaking out into pimples and acne because of all those biological changes. So remember, water is your ultimate saviour. Wash your face regularly, preferably with warm water and a mild face wash. Also, drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and sebum production under control.

NSW Police in Queanbeyan, Monaro area using controversial suspect list
Posted Monday, 20th November 2017
Dr Vicki Sentas speaks to The Canberra Times (5 November 2017) regarding her recent report into the NSW Police's Suspect Targeting Management Plan (STMP).
"[It's a] crime prevention program that targets people, both adults and young people, who have committed offences in the past as well as people who may not have committed offence but police otherwise may think they might commit a crime," Ms Sentas said.
She went on to say, "They have stopped and searched people on the STMP without having a lawful basis."
"For many young people on the STMP who predominantly don't commit violent offences ... [it] might generate more offences ... like swearing at police because of the frustration of being constantly under police attention."

Mexican authorities investigate reports of tiger sighting
MEXICO CITY – Reports of an escaped tiger have put Mexican authorities on alert nine months after another Bengal tiger fled into a mangrove forest and disappeared.
An official at the environmental protection department in the Attorney General's Office said Thursday that inspectors were sent to the Gulf coast state of Campeche, where residents of the town of San Francisco Koben reported seeing a tiger. The species is not native to Mexico.
The official was not authorized to be quoted by name. He said inspectors had not seen the beast despite patrolling the area by day and using cameras with sensors at night.
The area is covered by jungle and is near coastal wetlands.
A tiger escaped in November from a restaurant in the southern state of Guerrero and apparently killed five cows.

Editor's Note: This post was first published on August 22.
Every once in a while, media outlets like to publish features on the "shocking" revelation that certain conservative personalities aren't heartless monsters after all (perhaps out of a desire to appear less one-sided). Today's example comes from the Daily Beast, where Matt Latimer introduces readers to a kinder, gentler Ann Coulter than they're used to:
When informed she could not participate in a political conference if she kept a commitment to speak to a group of gay Republicans, Ms. Coulter told organizers just what they could do with their conference. Noting that she speaks to all kinds of groups whose views she does not necessarily agree with—"the main thing I do is speak on college campuses, which is about the equivalent of speaking at an al Qaeda conference"—Coulter, in her own style, stood for something that conservatives are supposed to believe in: the free exchange of ideas. Few, of course, have exercised that particular privilege with more vigor than the woman who famously labeled Katie Couric "the affable Eva Braun" of the liberal movement.
Well, okay, maybe "gentler" was a poor choice of words, but you get the point. For Coulter, protecting marriage is an important political issue, but it doesn't extend to hating homosexuals and/or people who disagree. Ironically, that's not the case for the activists on the other side.
Lately, in fact, Coulter has been making a habit of getting on the bad side of the right's Dwight Schrutes, even at the risk of alienating some of her book buyers and website subscribers. She was, for example, an early and outspoken opponent of the Obama birther movement, calling its adherents a collection of "cranks." And in response to commentator Bill Kristol's haughty demand that Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele resign because Steele criticized the military surge in Afghanistan, Coulter turned the tables. "Bill Kristol Should Resign," she wrote, thus fearlessly taking on one of the Grand Poobahs of today's GOP and provoking a needed debate within the conservative movement over the dangers of supporting every military action at every time under every circumstance.
Ann's attack on Birtherism was indeed an important stand against idiocy on the fringe Right, and it showed yet again that the Right is more principled and responsible than the Left. Her defense of Michael Steele, however, left much to be desired, because, among other reasons, the bit about "supporting every military action at every time under every circumstance" was a transparent straw-man. Last time I checked, we were involved in a grand total of two wars, both of which Coulter supported—hardly a large enough sample size to determine whether or not "neo-cons" support a state of "permanent war."
[O]ne of the carefully guarded secrets of Ann Coulter world is how much she is not hated and—dare one say it—even liked by many within the dreaded liberal elite. Well-credentialed members of the mainstream media privately extol her. Among her friends is the decidedly unconservative talk show host Bill Maher, on whose cable program she frequently appeared. "Unlike so many people in America, she was not afraid to get booed," Mr. Maher once said of his pal.
This was always one of the things I couldn't figure out about Coulter—not that she could possibly be friends with people who disagree, but that she could extend that courtesy a miserable, disingenuous creep like Bill Maher. Wishing Glenn Beck dead? Smearing Pope Benedict as an ex-Nazi? Scapegoating parents for the failures of education bureaucrats? Sorry, Ann, but I just can't imagine how you stomach the guy.

Creating a new application (Android, of course)
- This assumes you've installed:
- Eclipse
- Android SDK and tooling
Naming your Android Project
- Here you will specify:
- Application Name
- Project Name
- Package Name
Choosing default images, clip art, and text
- This is how you might brand your application
- We will just choose defaults
Choosing the default Blank Activity
- We will build everything from scratch, rather than have the tooling give us a master/detail interface.
- We will simply add one listview control
Choosing the default Activity Name
- Naming our activity.
- This will result in how some of the main user interface files and code are named
Viewing the default project that was created by the Eclipse wizard
- We will now start editing code and building the interface
Running the default Android Template
- Let's run application just to see the default Hello World interface
- We will add our own code shortly.
Viewing the running project
- This is just to verify that all the tooling is working.
- Frankly, the emulators are not entirely reliable.
- In many cases, I had to run my samples more than once to see a correct result.
Working with the ListView Control
- Adapters & ListView Controls
- A ListView receives its data via an adapter.
- The adapter also defines how each row is the ListView is displayed.
- The adapter is assigned to the list via the setAdapter method on the ListView object.
- Android provides several standard adapters; we will use ArrayAdapter
- ArrayAdapter can handle data based on Arrays or java.util.List.
Opening a text editor and adding our ListView Control
- We will now add our ListView control
- It is a simple case of modifying this XML file
Implementing the ListView Control
- We simply need to paste in the following code.
activity_main.xml <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent" > <ListView android:id="@+id/mylist" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" tools:context=".MainActivity" > </ListView> </RelativeLayout>
Modifying MainActivity.java - adding "import" statements
- I will present the whole source code module (MainActivity.java) shortly
- These import statements are needed for the listview
- More will be needed for the httpclient code that is needed to call into Azure Mobile Services
Adding code to onCreate()
- onCreate() is the startup method where we can add some code.
- We will populate the listview control with some simple strings.
- In the next section we will call into Azure Mobile Services to get data
- But first let's understand the listview control.
- We will first add some code to add items to the ListView control.
- Notice the following:
- We get the id for the ListView control so we can talk to it (note 1)
- Create a string array of what we will add to the listview (note 2)
- Create a ArrayAdapter and associate the strings from the previous step. (note 3)
- Associate the ArrayAdapter with the ListView control (note 4)
Viewing the application so far
- Our simple example is working so far.
- Follow these steps:
- From the menu, choose Run/Debug As/Android Application
Download the httpclient library
- Follow these steps:
- Link is in the upper lift.
- It will be a zip file.
- Extract httpclient-4.2.1.jar to a folder.
- Navigate to the folder.
Copying the httpclient library to our project
- This is needed because we will be calling into Azure Mobile Services.
- httpclient.jar contains the code that allows use to make http calls into our Azure Mobile Service
Editing the code to call into the Azure Mobile Service
- The array values will now be populated with values we get from the Azure Mobile Service.
- A few things to note:
- The URL that the Android client will call:
- public static final String kGetTodosUrl = https://brunotodoservice.azure-mobile.net/tables/TodoItem;
- Recall the brunotodoservice is something we defined when we created our Windows Azure Mobile Service.
- public static final String kGetTodosUrl = https://brunotodoservice.azure-mobile.net/tables/TodoItem;
- The URL that the Android client will call:
Opening the AndroidManifest.xml file
- We need to allow internet connectivity for our application.
- This is done in the AndroidManifest.xml file
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" package="com.example.androidandmobileservices" android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" > <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission> <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="8" android:targetSdkVersion="15" /> <application android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@style/AppTheme" > <activity android:name=".MainActivity" android:label="@string/title_activity_main" > <intent-filter> <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" /> <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" /> </intent-filter> </activity> </application> </manifest>
- Our application will fail without this line.
- It is required.
Adding code to MainActivity.java
- You will now modify MainActivity.java to call into Azure Mobile Services
- You will two things from the portal to write this code:
- The URL for Azure Mobile Services
- The Application Id for Azure Mobile Services
- There are many important statements to add
package com.example.androidandmobileservices; import android.os.Bundle; import android.app.Activity; import android.view.Menu; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; import android.widget.ListView; // Add these import statements import android.util.Log; // for logging import org.json.JSONArray; // for JSONArray import org.json.JSONObject; // for JSONObject import java.io.InputStream; // for reading the response as bytes import java.io.BufferedInputStream; // for reading the response as buffered bytes import java.io.BufferedReader; // for reading bytes in a buffered manner import java.io.InputStreamReader; // for reading bytes into BufferedReader import java.net.HttpURLConnection; // for HttpURLConnection import java.net.URL; // for URL public class MainActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.activity_main); // Define needed constants: (1) url to our mobile service; // (2) service app id (from Azure Mobile Service Website) final String mobileServiceUrl = "https://brunotodoservice.azure-mobile.net/tables/TodoItem"; final String mobileServiceAppId = "FIoFunrUPBDhaFmmEXFHJCZoFEZILW45"; try { // Start building the request object to get the data URL url = new URL(mobileServiceUrl); // Build a request object to connect to Azure Mobile Services HttpURLConnection urlRequest = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection(); // Reading data so the http verb is "GET" urlRequest.setRequestMethod("GET"); // Start building up the request header // (1) The data is JSON format // (2) We need to pass the service app id (we get this from the Azure Portal) urlRequest.addRequestProperty("Content-Type", "application/json"); urlRequest.addRequestProperty("ACCEPT", "application/json"); urlRequest.addRequestProperty("X-ZUMO-APPLICATION", mobileServiceAppId); // We hold the json results JSONObject[] todos = null; // The listView control that will populate with data ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.mylist); try { // Prepare some objects to receive the bytes of data // from the Azure Mobile Service InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream( urlRequest.getInputStream()); BufferedReader bufferReader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader(in)); // responseString will hold our JSON data StringBuilder responseString = new StringBuilder(); String line; // Loop through the buffered input, reading JSON data while ((line = bufferReader.readLine()) != null) { responseString.append(line); } // Convert responseString into a JSONArray JSONArray jsonArray = new JSONArray(responseString.toString()); // Will hold an array of JSON objects todos = new JSONObject[jsonArray.length()]; // values is very important. It is the string array that will // get assigned to our ListView control. String[] values = new String[jsonArray.length()]; String s; // Loop through the objects. The ultimate goal is to have // an array of strings called "values" for (int i = 0; i < jsonArray.length(); i++) { todos[i] = jsonArray.getJSONObject(i); values[i] = todos[i].get("text").toString(); } // Create an array adapter using the string array called "values" ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, values); // Assign adapter to ListView listView.setAdapter(adapter); } catch (Exception ex) { Log.e("MainActivity Failure", "Error getting JSON from Server: "+ ex.getMessage()); } finally { urlRequest.disconnect(); } } catch (Exception ex) { Log.e("MainActivity Failure", "Error opening HTTP Connection: " + ex.getMessage()); } } @Override public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) { getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu); return true; } }
- We are now finished and have learned the following lessons:
- How to setup our Azure Mobile Services
- How to add tables, insert data to a relational database
- How to use http to issue GET and POST commands
- How to use low-level tooling (Fiddler) to interact with Azure Mobile Services
- How to create an Android application to read data from Azure Mobile Services.

In 1917 the zipper was developed and, of course, these made for a terrific seal for the rectangular sleeping bags allowing an individuals body warmth to remain trapped longer consequently keeping them warmer on those cold winter season evenings. Basically the term resting bag essentially suggests a safety bag for someone to rest in.
If the sleep bags that you are taking a look at have not embraced the EN requirement, do not flip out. You could go by their temperature level measurement. The only difference is that these dimensions are to be used as a guideline just and do not think about the male/female distinction. Obtain a rest bag with added loft and also a reduced temperature level number if you're like me as well as are usually chilly whenever you sleep. The reduced the number, the cooler the exterior ambient temperature level can be where the bag will keep you cozy.
When choosing a sleeping bag you'll wish to ask yourself a few concerns. First, ask on your own if you'll be camping in winter or if you're simply a weekend warrior in the summer season. Second, ask yourself if any time you'll be going on severe explorations to very chilly environments as this might create the demand for a mummy bag. Third, ask on your own what does it cost? you wish to spend and this will certainly assist limit your selections. There are rectangle-shaped resting bags for ones and also guys specifically created the shape of a woman's body. Discovering the one that fits you is not that difficult and also there are many selections available. Typically mummy bags are more pricey than the traditional design as well as most of the moment you'll be completely fine with conventional rectangular sleeping bags.

Well, the tradition continues. We headed out to the Orr Family farms this weekend. The weather was nice and mommy was feeling good. It was our first trip out as a family of 4! I have to say that it all went well! Hudson is such a good baby--we are beyond blessed! Here are the photos!
First stop, as always, the Carousel.
Here is Hud, taking in all the sights and getting some fresh air! I cannot tell you how good the sun felt to me that day!
Our friend Bailey was there as well. Daisy and Bailey had the best time, and they seriously wore Chris out!
Isn't this so sweet? Let me just tell you what an amazing husband/father Chris is. He has been a HUGE help, even though his schedule can be hectic! I LOVE watching him with the kids, and there is nothing he'd rather do on a Saturday than spend it with his family! We love you daddy.

Let me tell you a love story. A kind and gentle man was deeply in love with his bride to be. He put her first in everything he did. He did everything perfectly to prepare for their wedding day.
This man's name was Jesus. He has been waiting for you, male and female. His bride isn't perfect though. She has failed many times, but he forgives and forgets. A smile covers His face and His arms are open wide, waiting to embrace you! His ears are listening to hear you say, Jesus, I love you, please forgive my mistakes. I want to share my life with you, I know my life may be short now, I know you have been patiently waiting for me. In Jesus's eyes, you are now perfect. The bride and groom become one, his righteous has now become yours also.
Jesus from this day forward I will love you with all my heart, mind and soul. For you are now written in my family tree as I am in yours, never to be erased. Jesus, your judgement of me is now over, for by you I am in right standing. My Spirit and your Spirit are united in agreement. I will never be alone, if I fall, my groom will be there to lift me up. I will take one step at a time until it is time to move into my new home with my groom.
Congratulations to us both.
Your bride to be, soon.

On ———
Dear Officer ——,
On November 20, 2012, my husband who was the Resident Faculty Leader of Summit Hall was arrested for Domestic Battery. I would like to take some time to express some concern to you about the police handling of that case.
My husband had thrown a bowl at me, which shattered against my foot and resulted in a very serious injury that left me in a cast for a month. I called 911 because I was panicked. At that point, he had been battering me regularly for a very long time. As I'm sure you know, domestic violence victims generally don't report it until the behavior has become very, very dangerous.
I spoke with Officer —–, and my husband spoke with the other officer whose name I don't remember. Officer —— asked me if my husband had ever hit me before, and I admitted that he had, but I begged Officer —— not to arrest my husband, as I loved him and did not want him to lose his job. Officer —— then asked me to describe the events as they had occurred, and I said that I was walking away from my husband, and he threw a bowl at me. Officer —– said "I understand. These things happen. Things get crazy. It happens with my wife and me too."
I did not say this, but I thought "Do you beat your wife too?"
Despite my serious injury, Officer —— then said that they would send my husband to his parents house for a couple of days to "calm down." He then asked me if he could see my driver's license. When I stood up, I was unable to walk. I hobbled into the other room to get my driver's license.
At that point, the other officer saw my foot. He said "Ma'am, can I look at your foot?" As he was looking at my foot, he looked to Officer —– and said "That's bad. That looks broken." The other officer then asked me what had happened.
Again, I described the events as they had occurred, I was walking away, and he threw the bowl at me. Officer —— then said, "Well, did he just knock the bowl off of the counter and it hit your foot?"
I was confused because I had just described what had happened, and I said "No, he threw the bowl at me."
The other officer then asked if my husband had a phone number they could reach him at, and I realized that they were going to arrest him. They went outside and waited for my husband to return, and during that time, I called my husband and told him they were going to arrest him. My husband then left his phone on, either on purpose or by accident, and I could hear everything that happened. The other officer said, "Did she hit you too?" My husband said no. The other officer then said "Because we can arrest her too."
At that point, both my husband and I had told our stories, neither of us had said anything about me hitting him, and still, the officer offered to arrest me. I have researched this issue, and I have learned that an officer is never supposed to make that kind of suggestion if it is not brought up on its own.
Later, when my husband returned from his arrest, he told me that he had written a statement where he admitted to throwing the bowl. Officer —–, however, wrote a statement where he said that my husband had knocked the bowl off of the counter and it hit my foot. This was in direct contradiction to what both the victim and the offender had stated. I do not know if Officer —-= was trying to protect my husband, or if he was trying to protect himself because he realized that he never should have sent my husband away, but he was clearly trying to protect someone.
The conduct in this situation was so egregiously wrong, unethical, and reveals a lack of training in regards to domestic violence. Domestic violence can happen at all ages, and it is important for campus police to be trained in that area.
When I spoke with Officer —–, I still loved my husband and wanted to remain married to him, so I didn't want him to arrest my husband, but that is symptomatic of the domestic violence relationship, and I was clearly in a dangerous situation. It was Officer —-'s responsibility to protect me, and instead of protecting me, he protected a violent and dangerous man.
I have since left and divorced my husband, and I live in another state. The past 14 months have given me the time and perspective to see how wrong the situation I lived in was, and also, how much police misconduct contributes to the pervasive and systemic problem of domestic violence in our country.
I hope that you will deal with this issue, and I am going to work to educate others about my situation so that this does not happen to someone else in the future.
Kelly Sundberg
I will have an internal affairs investigation start and one of command staff should be in touch with you. We will keep you posted on our investigation. Thank you for contacting me.
Ms. Sundberg,
I am Lt. —– with the West Virginia University Police Department. I am an investigator that has been forwarded a copy of an e-mail that our department received, reference concerns you had with the campus police handling of domestic violence, particularly an incident in which you were involved with in November of 2012, reference case # 12-0016621. I have been assigned to formerly investigate this complaint.
I have included in this e-mail a copy of our form for filing a report of complaint against police personnel, which I will need you to complete and send back to me. I will also need to speak with you sometime to verify your identity and clarify details of your complaint. It is my understanding that you are now residing out-of-state, so I will need you to give me a call at your convenience at the number listed below, as I do not have a current contact number for you.
Lt. ———-
[Scheduling and logistical stuff redacted]
Hello, Lt. ——-,
Ms. Sundberg,
I have been authorized to send you a copy of the report along with a copy of the criminal complaint. They are attached to this e-mail. Any further questions or communications regarding this matter should be directed to my supervisor, Capt. ——–.
[I never saw this police report until after the case was settled (two years later), and it is full of falsehoods from the police officer, including that I declined to show up for court (I didn't even know that court was happening because no one, including the prosecutor, informed me.) Caleb also told me that he had written a statement in his own handwriting where he admitted to having thrown the bowl at me, but, despite that, the police officer said that Caleb had accidentally knocked the bowl off of the counter (though he had contradicted himself in his own report).]
Ms. Sundberg,
An internal investigation was conducted by Lieutenant ——- into your allegations of inappropriate and/or unprofessional police conduct against Sergeant—– concerning UPD Incident Report #12-0016621, Domestic Battery.
Both Sergeant ——- and the other involved officer, Sergeant ——–, were interviewed. Lt. —–= also spoke with you. At the conclusion of this investigation the facts show that all applicable department policies and State of WV laws were adhered to by both of our officers. No wrongdoing was found.
At the conclusion of this investigation, I find that your complaint is unfounded.
If you need or desire additional information please schedule an appointment with Chief ———— and myself at ——-.
Dear Major ——–,

(Sun Times Wire) A man who accidentally shot himself early Tuesday outside his Logan Square neighborhood home was arrested after police found guns and a variety of drugs inside the home.
Frank Rousary, 46, told officers he was taking out his trash about 2:35 a.m. in an alley outside his home in the 1700 block of North Talman when he heard shots and felt pain, according to Chicago Police. Investigators later determined that he had accidentally shot himself in the back.
Officers investigating the shooting found multiple weapons and drugs inside his home, including methamphetamine, heroin, oxycodone, cocaine, MDMA, psilocybin and marijuana, police said.
Rousary was taken to Illinois Masonic Medical Center in serious condition, police said. He was arrested at the hospital at 12:40 p.m. and charged with one felony count each of unlawful use of a weapon by a felon, possession of more than 900 grams of heroin and possession of less than 5 grams of meth.
He was also charged with five felony counts of possession of a controlled substance and a misdemeanor count of cannabis possession, police said.
A bond hearing was scheduled for Rousary on Wednesday, but police said he would not appear in court because he remained hospitalized.

Any template on Envato marketplaces can not be exposed for sale if a Help file (document explaining how to deal with template) is absent. Therefore, following this term all templates do include a document assisting a client to understand the structure of the template and related points.
In depth
Help file and code itself especially, are two main keys in understanding how template works, how to edit it and what not to overlook. Studying the code is obligatory if one wants to edit the template. Help file provides a buyer with many tips and notes in order to ease buyer's work on template. This should be enough. If a buyer does not know basics of html no Help file will help. In fact, buyers often ask questions and complain that support is not provided while they have full access to the code–main assistant in template editing.
First thing the buyer must know is that additional free support is optional and may be provided by an author and may be not. The price of templates is very low while quality is very high. To demand additional time of an author considering the price would be at least impolite. But, very often the authors do care to reply questions.
Important is a type of question. All pre-sale questions are welcome. I reply all pre-sale questions and my replies help a potential buyer to decide for or against the purchase. I reply all questions related to the structure of template as well as questions about options and possibilities. But questions type "how to" could not be answered. If a template does not include some certain feature while I am asked how to add it–this question is quite out of scope of the template and the reply can not be provided for free. However, any type of customisation I am ready to make if I have time, naturally. Such work takes my time, effort and demands my knowledge. Naturally, it must be paid on. If a buyer wants me to help with customisation he/she must send me files and payment. My hourly rate is $40.
Type I. Examples of questions which are replied as a part of free support (and replied with pleasure)
Can you please give me more info on the PayPal buttons. You say all you need to change is the ID? When I go to PayPal to set up a shop item it gives me the option to use a customized button but I need to insert the URL of my button. I am guessing there is no URL as yours is probably an html5 button???
very nice template! 2 questions if I may: 1. is it ready by any chance to support RTL (you know… hebrew) 2. if i would like to make some (small) changes (like placing the 2 'go up' and 'go bottom' buttons at their natural location (bottom and up part of the page), would it be all done via the HTML editor? do you give any support for that? thank you
Does this work with adsense? It wouldn't interfere with the jquery in this template? When I added adsense to the template I'm using now, it stopped my jquery from working. I just don't want to run into the same problem here.
Hello Just purchased your template. I have Blogger Hosted through Google. I wasn't aware that I could access FTP with google. Do I have to have a separate host for this template to work?
Type II. Examples of questions which can not be replied as a part of free support
I want to retain the top 'coloured' heading for mobile devices. When the page resizes, I want them to stay above each section, instead of going to the right of the section. Which section in the "small800" css file do I need to edit?
Ok one more question. On the Contact page you have a submit button. How to I code this to send the form to my email?
Ok when i put images into the site what is the best way to code them?
Please, when you are going to ask me a question, define for yourself which type of questions it matches and if you see that it is about customisation, fixing mistakes made by you, or adding new features take into consideration the payment for my extra work and time. Thank you!

B0L1 is a beamline for developments of new light sources and their applications. At present, it is used to generate laser-Compton gamma rays of 1- 40MeV. These are generated by backward Compton scattering with relativistic electrons in NewSUBARU and photons from external lasers. The gamma ray beam is a very unique light source having the positive characteristics of tunable energy, quasi-monochromaticity, tunable polarization and beam directivity.
The gamma ray is used in various studies: photo-nuclear reaction, electron pair creation, nuclear transmutation and CT-imaging.
Layout of the BL01 is shown in Fig.BL01-(2). Nd:YVO4(wavelength 1µm、0.5µm) and CO2(wavelength 10.6µm) lasers are used. The lasers are set in the experimental hall and their beams are introduced by mirrors into the NewSUBARU ring. The Nd:YVO4 and CO2 laser beam is collided head-on into an electron beam at position (A) and (B), respectively. The generated gamma rays are used in the shielding hutch. NaI and plastic scintillation counters, a Ge detector, neutron scintillation and imaging plate are used for measurements and Linear Amp. Rate Meter and MCA are used for data acquisition.
|Nd:YVO4 laser
|wavelength 1.064µm, 5W : CW-100kHz (Pulse width 8ns)
wavelength 0.532µm, 4W : 10kHz-100kHz (Pulse width 8ns)
|CO2 laser
|wavelength 10.52-10.57µm, 20W
|He-Ne laser
|beam alignment
|Ti-Saf laser
A mirror is set in the vacuum tube of the BL1 to introduce the laser beams. The generated gamma rays transmit through the mirror and the window, and are extracted into the shielding hutch.
Because energy of laser Compton gamma ray depends on its scattering angle, we can use quasi-monochromatic gamma ray by using only beam center with a collimator. The lead collimator with a 6 or 3mm diameter hole and 10mm thickness is set on a remote controlled X-Y stage.
Gamma ray energy spectra can be measured by the Ge detector with MCA. The measured spectra represent the convolution of the detector response function with the gamma ray energy distribution. To obtain the original energy distribution, corrections by simulation are needed.
There is a shielding hutch to use the gamma ray. Its side view drawing and photograph are shown in Fig.BL01-(3). A gamma flux of 6x106 photons/sec with energies of 6-17MeV is generated when the electron energy and current is 1GeV and 250mA respectively, and the laser power of Nd laser (1µm) is 4W. In the hutch, the gamma ray beam size is 10mm at a distance of 19m from the collision point without the collimator. Sample targets should be placed inside the hutch and the gamma ray must be irradiated them with closing the hutch door.

After spending a day in Illinois with Dad's brother's family, we left for Maryland for the coming 50th wedding anniversary celebration of Dad's parents, John and Margie. Most of the family was gathering in the Baltimore area for a celebration on October 20… exactly 50 years from the day they wed.
The Friday before, we gathered at Uncle Joe's house for preparation for the celebration. There was a large tent set up in the back yard. It was a lot of fun to work with the family in getting the food preparation, decorations, party favors, and cleaning that needed to be done.
Saturday was the big day! Last minute preparations kept us on our toes until the guests began to arrive. Many of them hadn't seen the family in years and lots of good conversation took place. The meal began and visiting continued until the program.
The program began by playing a recording of the wedding vows. Then Grandpa and Nana got up and sang "My Tribute" and "Through it All." There was music by Mrs. Linda Greasley, Uncle Scott (who sang a song that he had written for Nana), grandson Myles and great-grandchildren Jay and Alexis sang "Jesus Loves Me," and our family sang/played a couple of songs. Deborah was able to sing a song that she had written as a gift for Nana and Grandpa.
After the guests left, it was family picture time!
It was a wonderful celebration and . Thank you, Grandpa and Nana, for your encouraging testimony of 50 years of faithfulness to each other and to the Lord. Thank you for the godly heritage that you have given us. May God richly bless you!
On Sunday, our family gave a missions update at Faith Bible Church in Elkridge, where we also sang a few songs and taught children's church.
The following Monday, we spent the morning driving around seeing places that Dad used to go when he was growing up. We even stopped at the park where he played soccer and played a little family football game, and then some of the younger ones ran up and down the hill that Dad's soccer coach used to train the team. We spent the afternoon/evening with Uncle Joe again and said our goodbyes.
Tuesday morning we pulled out for North Carolina… watch for our next post!

I can't believe it's been almost a year since I posted anything on this blog! I feel as though I should make excuses but, hey, I've just been doing other things and it's gone to the back of my mind. It happens I guess.
I'm still going strong with Ubuntu. My laptop is upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10 and NetBeans 6.8 and that's where I do most work in terms of examples for training courses. My old desktop machine is currently running Xubuntu 9.10 until I get round to a much-needed motherboard and CPU upgrade. That will probably become a test bed for Ubuntu 10.04. The headless server box is on Ubuntu 9.04 with all of the GUI stripped back so it's more like Ubuntu Server. It was running Oracle XE and Glassfish v2 but I replaced those with MySQL and Tomcat as I've not been doing much with EJB. Most of the work done by that box is RAID1 file service, DNS and Subversion
I've nothing against Microsoft operating systems per se but I don't miss the rebooting and what always seemed a painful process of upgrading on Vista. ;)
The past few weeks have been spent looking at Spring 3.0, particularly Spring MVC. I am really liking the new features, especially the simplified web development, and I'll try and get a few posts together over the next month or so.
ps. Just discovered an unpublished draft post from last October about Hibernate and multiple bags. There was probably a good reason why I didn't publish it at the time but it seemed to make sense, so up it went.

Mowing a massive yard with a push reel mower is like bringing a knife to a gun fight.
Instead of fighting turf wars alone, bring the whole gang to mow down up to 11 feet of grass in just one pass.
Gang mowers are built with a gang of three, five or seven reels, giving you a manicured lawn in a fraction of the time.

Energy companies - just reading the script
A phone call from an energy provider (not ours)
Me: "Hello [company name]"
Girl: "Hello is that [company name]?"
"Yes it is how can I help you"
"This is [energy company] I'm contacting you with regard to energy usage by [company] at [unit]"
"Ah yes they'll be leaving at the end of the month"
"So are you going to take responsibility for the energy usage"
"Well we're the landlords"
"Yes I know you're the landlords, that's why we're calling you"
"Well yes we're the landlords what other choice do we have? Can we say no and not have to pay anything?"
"Yes you can; but then we'd disconnect you"
"So we don't really have a choice... okay I 'll suppose we'll have to work out a landlord's rate and only pay for electricity used"
"No you'd have to pay the standing charge too"
"No a landlord's rate where you pay a higher rate for electricity, but no standing charge"
"I don't know if we do that"
"That's okay I know [rival company] does we'll just switch to them"
"Well I don't know about rates that'd be the sales team; I'm from the [team] that's all I deal with"
"You don't think that given your sole job is to contact people in this situation that it might be worth finding out if you do a rate that only applies to the situation about which you are calling?"
"I don't do rates that'd be the sales team"
Marvellous. Seriously why is this person there; you could do this with an automated system... "Hi this is [energy company] calling you about [robotic voice - location] if this applies to you press 1 now...." and then pass on the details to the sales team.

I've always been impressed by those who started honing their talents from a young age. Well, Camille is one of those people! She knew from a very young age that she wanted to play the flute AND dance. (When I was a kid, I had no idea what I wanted to do other than run around and play!) Camille not only started both dance and playing the flute, but she stuck with them- clearly she has a passion for these creative pursuits! I had a great time taking her pictures and documenting the things so unique to her! What a fun session!
Brandon {High School Senior}
I took Brandon's sister, Brooke's, engagement pictures late last year and was happy to get the chance to take her brother's pictures as well. Engagements and graduating seniors? What could be better than commemorating such big moments in people's lives through photographs? This young man has plans to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, followed by college. He loves to wake board and slalom ski, amongst other crazy things. I've come to the conclusion, I am a big wimp- I could never do either of those! But I did love to hear all about it and learn some of his tricks of the trade- very cool stuff! 🙂

Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 Review: A Decent Tab With Solid Build Quality
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 might not border on revolutionary just yet but it would be a nice option to consider when you are out shopping for tablets.
The Tab has a solid build quality which has been coupled up with a vivid display and that display has been backed up with a remarkable battery life.
If you factor out cutting edge technology then you might want to consider putting the Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 in the top 5 of your tablet choice.
The Tab 4 10.1 stands out from the rest of the Tab 4 family in just about every way. Its light weight plastic body has a fake leather texture and a chrome trim that encircles the perimeter of the body. Also, if you prefer larger displays, larger than a 7 or 8 inch display then the 4 10.1 has got you covered there as well with its 10.1.
The plastic body had me worried there for a while as well as I'm sure you guys were, but Samsung I think was aiming for a lighter tablet so that you may use it for more hours before you get tired of holding the big thing. Despite the plastic body, the tablet has a solid build and feels good when you're holding it.
The unique factor that sets it apart from the other tablets is the fact that they used Dual Speakers on the 4 10.1. Usually when it comes to speakers, there is always an issue of clarity regardless of their loudness.
But, both speakers left and right have excellent quality and clarity. The speakers have been placed in such a manner that you would never accidentally cover them up with your hands if you're in portrait or landscape mode.
The display is indeed bigger on the Tab 4.10.1 but the resolution remains untouched at 1280×800. However, it is still perfectly usable and you would hardly notice any pixels when you are using the device. Perhaps if you look closely you might see them. Like all Samsung panels the display is bright, vivid and colorful making the Tab fun to use and consume media.
Like we mentioned above, the device does not have cutting edge technology. It is a mid-range tablet with 1.2Ghz Quad core processor, 1.5GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. Though some features like Web-browsing have room for improvement, other things like gaming and opening up applications are still pretty good on it.
The battery, which is an area of great importance when it comes to tablets but Samsung has been known to make good quality battery which usually last more than a day of moderate to heavy usage. The Galaxy Tab 4.10.1 has 6,800 mAh battery which could last you more than a couple of days with moderate to heavy usage.
Moving over to the only flaw in the Tab: The camera. At 3.0 Megapixels around the back, taking photos from it might not be your first choice but you could use it when you are out of options. The results of the pictures you take will be good outdoors when the sun is up or inside a well lit room but it would not fair well otherwise.
The Galaxy Tab 4.10.1 is available for $349.99. Currently there is only a Wi-Fi version of the Tab but there will be 3G/LTE versions arriving later in the year.

Global GNSS processing based on the raw observation approach
July 6, 2017 • 543 Views
Workshop 2017 - Sebastian Strasser - GNSS processing similar to that of the IGS analysis centers (AC) is performed at Graz University of Technology (TUG) using the raw observation approach. This new approach offers some benefits compared to well-established approaches, such as a straightforward incorporation of new observables due to the avoidance of observation differences and linear combinations. GNSS products generated at TUG currently comprise GNSS satellite orbits and clocks, station positions and clocks, and code and phase biases. To evaluate the new approach, products generated using the GPS constellation and observations from the IGS station network are compared to those of the IGS ACs. The comparisons show that the products generated at TUG are on a similar level of quality to the products determined by the IGS ACs.

Now what else would you like to know? -- Rumi, from 365
Nirvana, Here and Now by Josh Baran
With some realization comes imperceptibly,
but somehow they need convincing. They have changed, but
they do not notice it. Such non-spectacular cases are often
the most reliable.
-- Nisargadatta Mark Scorelle posted to Wisdom-l
Since the seed does not contain anything
other than the seed, even the flowers and the fruits are of the
same nature as the seed: the substance of the seed is the
substance of subsequent effects, too. Even so, the homogenous
mass of cosmic consciousness does not give rise to anything other
than what it is in essence. When this truth is realized, duality
-- Yoga Vasishtha
From "Teachings of the Hindu Mystics," © 2001 by Andrew Harvey
by Bob O'Hearn
The Choral Symphony, including "Ode to Joy," was Ludwig van Beethoven's ninth and final symphony. When it
premiered in Vienna on this date in 1824, Beethoven himself
co-conducted the orchestra and chorus. He was already deaf by
this time, and witnesses to the event reported that Beethoven
apparently several measures behind the performance
continued conducting the piece even after it was completed, not
stopping until a singer turned him around so he could see the
audience on its feet, thunderously applauding.
Quote: "Everything will pass and the world will perish, but the Ninth Symphony will remain."
Beethoven - Ode An Die Freude / Ode to Joy #2
08:11 Just Listen version on YouTube
The understanding that everything is
illusive is not the final
one. It is an essential stage but only a stage. Ultimately you will
understand that the form and separateness of a thing are illusory, but
the thing-in-itself is not. That out of which these forms appear is
not different from them, hence Reality is one and the same in all
things. This is the paradox of life and a sharp mind is needed to
perceive it. However, to bring beginners out of their earthly
attachments, we have to teach first the illusoriness of the world, and
then raise them to a higher level of understanding and show that the
world is not apart from the Real. That Thou Art unifies everything in
essence. But this final realization cannot be got by stilling the
mind, only by awakening it into full vigour again after yogic peace
has been attained and then letting its activity cease of its own
accord when thought merges voluntarily into insight. When that is
done, you know the limitations of both yoga and enquiry as successive
stages. Whoever realizes this truth does not divorce from matter--as
most yogis do--but realizes non-difference from it. Hence we call this
highest path the "yoga of nonduality." But to reach it one has to pass
through the "yoga of philosophical knowledge."

Shortcut to Nirvana
I loved it too, Aum Shanti
- Did you happen to see the movie - Shortcut to Nirvana - Aum
Shanti had the feeling of that movie - here is a link below. When
I read online about Shortcut to Nirvana, I wanted to see it so I
emailed the director if he knew if he was coming to MN. It turned
out that about 6 months later he would be there. He had no one in
particular to hook up with in MN so we planned to meet. I brought
my very good sadhana buddy ( for her birthday) and my sangham of
about 7 of us and we met with him after the movie for dinner. The
director is Italian and spoke for about 15 minutes before the
move began which competed with the movie - he was such a complete
delight, with his accent, telling how he payed for the movie with
$60,000 of credit cards, a story of going for the gusto. His arms
and hands doing as much as his mouth.

New Milarepa Movie
Milarepa depicts the humble beginnings of the man who was to become Tibet's greatest saint.
A true story based on centuries-old oral traditions, a youthful Milarepa is propelled into a world of sorrow and betrayal after his father's sudden death. Destitute and hopeless,he sets out to learn black magic - and exact revenge on his enemies - encountering magicians, demons, an enigmatic teacher and unexpected mystical power along the way. But it is in confrontation with the consequences of his anger that he learns the most.
Photographed in the stunning Lahaul-Spiti region of Northern India, Milarepa offers a provocative parallel to the cycle of violence and retribution we see consuming today's world.

If you follow interior designer and blogger, Erin Gates of Elements of Style, she recently launched her new book, Elements of Style Designing A Home & A Life (she's currently on her book tour). Let me just say, this book is one to have in your home! And, I'll tell you why (btw, my opinion is my own).
First, let's talk about the design of the book itself. It's classic black and white look with gold is stunning. The stripes and floral pattern (and of course some leopard) are elements that make this book so attractive. I love everything about this book; even the size; not too big and not too small. Even if you don't follow Erin on her blog, a trip to the bookstore and seeing it on the shelf will definitely grab your attention.
You can tell how much work Erin put into making this book her own. Like she said, there isn't anything like it out there on the market. This book is so organized (and you know how much I love organization). The contents are organized by room and it starts off with the entry and ends with the sunroom and outdoor spaces. And, with the introduction to each space, a sectional cover page is decorated in different pattern and design (genius). She shows us designs from her own home as well as some of her clients.
One room I absolutely love, is a living room design with touches of pale pink. I am gaga over the color palette! Those wing back chairs and chevron pillows are EVERYTHING!! I envy the person who is enjoying this space. Here's the room:
|Image via Elementsofstyleblog.com
I'm almost done reading the book; I'm not just looking at the pretty pictures. I love Erin's stories and humor. I was fortunate to meet Erin and her husband, Andrew at a book signing on Thursday evening. It was held at Canvas Home Store in NYC (which is a great store). The Gates couple are such an amazing pair. Andrew was chatting with everyone on line and Erin was engaging before getting down to business. They make such a cute couple and it's crazy that we know so much about them by reading her blog. The blogging world has made it so popular for women like Erin to get such recognition. She is truly inspiring; as an interior designer and as a person. It was such a great experience!
|The happy and hawt couple!
I arrived at the Canvas Home Store early, so that I could check out the store before the book signing. I purchased a few items and received a promotional discount (yay)!
Dauville Charcoal Pebble Dish in Gold (view details online)
|This piece I will add to my bedroom redesign
Dauville Bottle Coaster in Gold (detail online). But there are many uses for this item around your home; i.e., a candy dish, change dish, small jewelry items or a candle.
So, if you don't own a copy of Erin's new book, it's a must to add to your collection; or to give as a gift. You can purchase through Amazon or find at Barnes and Noble.
