Thank you for the great software!
I have an scrolling issue since 2.18. Could you please help me?
Until 2.17, I was able to scrool window by wheel during drag and drop (that is, holding left mouse button) in case I assign "Mouse Wheel Up"/"Mouse Wheel Down" on the "Wheel Up"/"Wheel Down". It is really convenient to drag something to out of the shown area. For example, drag a file to a far folder on the tree of the Explorer, also drag an e-mail to a far folder on the tree of Outlook.
However, on 2.18 and 2.18.1, it does not work. At the moment I move the wheel during drag and drop, the drag is canceled in spite of I am holding the left mouse button, and the dragged item is released.
I prefer the behavior of the 2.17. I guess the new feature of 2.18 affects to "Mouse Wheel Up"/"Mouse Wheel Down". Could you please support any compatibility option?
Having, checked, I don't believe it works better - that is it aborts the drag here too. Interestingly without XMBC, when dragging, (certainly in explorer) it does not allow scroll while dragging. I guess the question I need to as myself now is why did it work in 2.17? (its not an intentional change) and is it a change in XMBC or Windows explorer.
Thanks for letting me now.
EDIT 2: OK no it works in 2.17 when wheel up/down is mapped to wheel up.down, just not when mapped to "nothing (don't intercept)"... Odd but gives me something to go on.. Leave it with me.
Thank you for taking a look, Phil.
without XMBC: keeps drag, without scroll.
wheel up/down(2.18~), No Change, Scroll Window Up/Down: aborts drag, with scroll.
Now I understnad the siduation. I am happy if the 2nd behaviour is supported officially.
The good news, I found the change in 2.18 that caused this change in behavior.
The bad news, I don't really understand why the change causes this problem. However, I can revert that particular change though and I hope it wont cause any problems elsewhere.
This will get fixed in the next version - the only question is, do I release a 2.18.2 or just add it to the changes in 2.19 (for which I will run a Beta program so the actual release will be some time away). How desperate are you to have this fixed? Would you be happy running the beta with this fix (and all the other changes as they happen).
NOTE: I haven't actually started 2.19 beta yet so this will be the first change in there - and possible the only one in beta 1 (so you could run with that without any risk).
I don't know if I ever used or use mentioned feature. Why it got changed, maybe intentionally, but rather by mistake. Anyway I think you should wait to end of month to see if something more differently working won't come up. If not then you can release last update, so 2.18.2 and start another Beta, or if that is only one thing to correct and ayusuke is fine with you can implement is only to incoming Beta.
But then the majority of users use only a subset of what XMBC can do (not least myself - I hardly use any of the advanced funky stuff I have added for the likes of you!) - and therefore when "fixing" something for one person, its quite easy to break something that someone else is using (intentionally or not).
I asked the question of how important it is because I want an answer from the OP. - not everyone else as its clearly not important to anyone not relying on the way XMBC worked in 2.17 . I will make my decision based on that answer. And anyway at the end of the month, I'm on holiday so I wont be doing anything around then!
I appreciate for the work, Phil!
No problem for me to use beta. I am also happy to join in the development as a beta tester.
The "wheel scroll during drag" is important for me. XMBC is the only software which can do this and works on Windows 10 as far as I know. I agree it seems strange to remap mouse wheel up/down to the wheel up/down. Because I really want this, I had much trial and error efforts among many mouse utilities. Finally I found XMBC with the configuration.
I put the fix in to 2.18.2 that I released yesterday.
Does it work again now?

Losing my sense of taste for a time a while ago, I invited our metropolitan daughter to bring me Christmas goodies that might, in passing, shock a numbed palate to respond.
Exotic savouries, pastes and unguents assembled from Dublin delis (establishments smelling deliciously, I remembered, of salamis and pungent cheeses) had chilli as a constant ingredient, from merely piquant to head-blowing on the Scoville scale of heat.
My taste later restored (perhaps all on its own) and the chilli toned down, the Christmas deli hamper became a family tradition. Among its salty pleasures has been a regular jar of lumpfish caviar, the modest gourmet’s echo of oligarch party fare.
Lumpfish – more properly lumpsucker fish, Cyclopterus lumpus, common around the coasts of these islands – has pelvic fins that shape into a sucker and bony plates on its sides. Baby fish, somewhat toad-shaped, are now, it seems, widely regarded as “cute” and kept as pets in aquariums.
They have found a new, better use as cleaner fish in salmon farms, plucking off the parasitic sea lice as perfectly palatable copepods. Millions of them are now employed globally, sometimes replacing the wrasse rockfish first selected for the job. A lumpsucker farm in Shetland, for example, supplies lumpsucker cleaner fish raised from eggs supplied from a caviar factory in Iceland.
An adult female lumpsucker can reach 60cm. Coming inshore to spawn, she sticks herself firmly to a rock, impervious to Atlantic swells and storms. She lays a large mass of eggs – up to 136,000 – and then retires to deeper water, leaving the male to look after them for weeks.
The more I learn about lumpfish caviar the more I’m now inclined to forgo this Christmas morsel (best washed down, I’m told, with vodka). Female fish caught with inshore gill nets, notably along coasts of Greenland and Iceland, are gutted for their roe, then discarded overboard. The eggs are taken ashore in barrels to be desalted and salted again to market taste, pasteurised and dyed red or black, with EU-approved preservatives.
How, after all, did I think ersatz “caviar” was produced at prices a fraction of the real stuff from wild sturgeon of the Caspian Sea? Beluga caviar retails at up to €10,000 a kilo; in a current Dublin comparison, 100g of lumpfish caviar costs €5.45 and 30g of beluga €289.80.
The latter’s glistening black pearls, popped between one’s teeth, are said to taste delicately of “walnuts and cream” rather than something exquisitely, differently fishy, which is what one might have hoped.
Sturgeon are an ancient family of 24 species, armoured with rows of bony plates. Barbels beneath a pike-like snout feel around for food on the bed of sea or river. Left alone to grow for a century or more they can become the largest freshwater fish in the world, nearing the bulk of the ocean’s basking shark.
But they have rarely been left alone. When the USSR broke up, its management networks collapsed and fishermen in the Caspian Sea’s coastal states (Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan) embraced free enterprise as fast as they could set their gill nets. By 1997 illegal trade and unsustainable harvesting had prompted a tangle of international controls.
Fewer than 100 beluga a year are now taken legally from the Caspian and shared between Russia and Iran, on the sea’s southern shore. Other small wild stocks survive precariously in Europe, and species of Siberian sturgeon have been introduced in some big lakes and rivers.
But land-based farming for caviar has grown intensively since the 1980s, ranging from the United States to China. The biggest caviar factory in the world was opened last year in Abu Dhabi, as part of the UAE’s diversification from oil.
Setting up a caviar farm is costly, as captive female sturgeon can take years to start producing eggs. Traditionally, wild fish have been slaughtered for them, like the lumpfish, and their veal-like meat readily marketed. Aquaculture has brought more refined and repeated harvesting of eggs from the same living fish, by varying methods of delivery.
Ireland once had wild sturgeon, like the stuffed one on display in the Natural History Museum in Dublin, caught in 1890. As one of Ireland’s “lost species” it appears in Whittled Away, the recent book from the wildlife conservationist Pádraic Fogarty. As he relates, the European sturgeon, Acipenser sturio, was possibly “commonplace” up to the 18th century and breeding in Irish estuaries.
The most thorough historic research, by Dr Declan Quigley of Dingle, found confusion between the European sturgeon and migrant Atlantic sturgeon from North America. Tracing 243 Irish newspaper reports of sturgeon since 1738, he concludes that landing one (often from salmon nets) was a relatively rare and newsworthy event. The last sturgeon, weighing 105kg, and captured in 1987, off the Kish Bank Lighthouse, was sold wholesale at €112 a kilo.

So I'm fairly new to C# and enjoying it quite a bit, but I'm a bit stumped on where to go to accomplish what I want to do.
I want to write a desktop application that has a list of items (that the user can add or remove from), and display that list with a current status (ie. True or False). The status should update on the application when a rest request is automatically sent and the status changed.
The current status is stored on a remote server with a Restful API (JSON) that I'm currently connecting to and getting updates just fine using a simple class library I wrote to speak to it (using JSON.Net) and a console application.
I'd like to transition my console application into Windows Forms or WPF. I have basic experience with both, although more with WPF – I can put together a fairly simple application that views data or allows data updates within the context of the application, using data binding.
I'm having trouble though with allowing the UI to be used to add/remove items from the list, while still looping through those items and updating any status changes on the UI.
I know this is a pretty vague question – but given what I'm trying to do – what area should I research and study to move forward?

Detecting the bottom in Echograms is often essential, because either the soudner detected bottom is not good enough or it simply wasn't exported. The sounder detected bottom can be particularly bad if the data is either very noisy (e.g. impulse or transient noise, from other equipment) or contains a lot of lost pings, due to bad weather conditions. If bottom correction is bad because of noise, it is recommended to first clean the data using a Background or TVG filter, an intermittent noise (spikes) filter and a transient noise filter. The latter two filters are available in Echoview since version 7. If the data contains a lot of lost pings, resampling might help cleaning the data a bit. Bottom detection should then be done on the resulting echogram.
9 different settings can be set to customise the algorithm: Start depth (m), Stop depth (m), Minimum Sv for good pick (dB), Discrimination level (dB), Backstep range (m), Peak threshold (dB), Maximum dropouts (samples), Window radius and Minimum peak asymmetry.
The scripting module can be used to detect the bottom on a selected variable, with custom settings.

The Doomsday Clock has been pushed up to two-and-a-half minutes to midnight.
The Doomsday Clock has moved half a minute closer to midnight, with a panel of scientists and scholars in agreement that humanity is closer to annihilation than we have been in decades.
First introduced in 1947, the Doomsday Clock is a measure of how close we are to destroying the planet, taking into account factors including nuclear weapons, climate change and—as of today—cyber threats. The 12 o'clock hour represents the destruction of human civilization, and the clock is now the closest it has been to midnight since 1953, after the Soviet Union and the US tested their first hydrogen bombs.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists magazine set the clock for the first time 70 years ago, and it has been adjusted 21 times since to reflect the changing level of danger from nuclear, environmental and other factors. In its announcement today, the Bulletin made it very clear that Donald Trump and his science-resistant administration are a major part of why the clock has been pushed forward.
"The Bulletin is extremely concerned about the willingness of governments, including the new US administration, to discount science and empirical evidence during their decision making process," said Bulletin chair Lawrence Krauss. "Facts are stubborn things, and they must be taken into account if the future of humanity is preserved." Krauss also denounced Trump's "careless rhetoric about the use of nuclear weapons," calling his words "destablizing."
"We are, more than ever, impressed that words matter," Krauss added. "Words count."
Though the bulk of the Bulletin's announcement focused on the heightened nuclear threat and volatile dynamics between the US, Russia, North Korea, China, Pakistan, and India, there are plenty of other reasons to be alarmed. The panel called attention to climate change, noting the planet's worryingly high recent temperatures and rising sea levels, and also acknowledged the new threat posed by cyber attacks.
If you're looking for a bright side in all this, the Doomsday Clock does provide a scientific justification for your '90s nostalgia: We've never been safer than we were in 1991. The clock was set at 17 minutes to midnight then, following the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty at the end of the Cold War.

first introduced in 1947, the doomsday clock is a measure of how close we are to destroying the planet, taking into account factors including nuclear weapons, climate change and—as of today—cyber threats. the 12 o'clock hour represents the destruction of human civilization, and the clock is now the closest it has been to midnight since 1953, after the soviet union and the us tested their first hydrogen bombs.
the bulletin of the atomic scientists magazine set the clock for the first time 70 years ago, and it has been adjusted 21 times since to reflect the changing level of danger from nuclear, environmental and other factors. in its announcement today, the bulletin made it very clear that donald trump and his science-resistant administration are a major part of why the clock has been pushed forward.
"the bulletin is extremely concerned about the willingness of governments, including the new us administration, to discount science and empirical evidence during their decision making process," said bulletin chair lawrence krauss. "facts are stubborn things, and they must be taken into account if the future of humanity is preserved." krauss also denounced trump's "careless rhetoric about the use of nuclear weapons," calling his words "destablizing."
"we are, more than ever, impressed that words matter," krauss added. "words count."
though the bulk of the bulletin's announcement focused on the heightened nuclear threat and volatile dynamics between the us, russia, north korea, china, pakistan, and india, there are plenty of other reasons to be alarmed. the panel called attention to climate change, noting the planet's worryingly high recent temperatures and rising sea levels, and also acknowledged the new threat posed by cyber attacks.
if you're looking for a bright side in all this, the doomsday clock does provide a scientific justification for your '90s nostalgia: we've never been safer than we were in 1991. the clock was set at 17 minutes to midnight then, following the signing of the strategic arms reduction treaty at the end of the cold war.
have you had nightmares about trump and nukes yet?
what will get us first: the oceans or the nukes?

Drugmakers have lots of practice when it comes to helping wary clinicians accept change, which is something AI companies could use assistance with, Nathalie Le Prohon, healthcare VP at IBM Canada, said at a recent roundtable discussion in AI hub Montreal.
“Pharmas have been able to introduce constantly new treatments, new paradigms, new ways to treat. They can certainly help address that resistance to change” that’s sure to come as AI increasingly infiltrates the healthcare sphere, she pointed out.
Pharma can leverage its relationships in other ways, too. The industry has “long, established relationships to clinical centers, and access to that would be a key thing for any startup or any midsized company,” said Mitchel Benevoy, CEO and cofounder of Corstem, a company working on AI-powered tools for cardiac analysis. “Their network is strong and robust,” he added.
Other AI startups, such as Aifred health—one of many in Quebec, which is looking to increase life science investment to $4 billion by 2022 as part of its recently unveiled strategic plan for the sector—just need raw, anonymous clinical trial data to train their algorithms, aifred’s director of scientific partnership, Sonia Israel, said. She and her colleagues at Aifred are looking to use machine learning to predict which patients will respond best to specific depression therapies.
Of course, fledgling AI companies would be happy to take pharma’s dollars, too.
“What’s slowing down the transformation is effectively money to deploy some of those great ideas,” Le Prohon said.
Some companies have already invested in AI partnerships, though its still early days for collaborations between the two sectors. Novo Nordisk, for one, in late 2015 inked a pact with IBM Watson to analyze the Danish drugmaker’s wealth of diabetes data.
But if pharma’s smart, it may want to hang onto some of those dollars to bring AI specialists in directly. Exporting data is “difficult to do,” and it’s not the way pharma companies—who generally opt to hire on in-house expertise—have “been working in the past,” said Sébastien Lemieux, principal investigator at the functional and structural bioinformatics research unit of the University of Montreal’s Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer.

A flashlight is used for many purposes; it is a very useful tool as it helps us in various ways. They are available in almost all homes, offices and factories. People use it during blackouts, emergencies, for safety and security, and even while playing some games; basically any time you need to see in a dark space, you’ll grab your handy flashlight.
The Maglite XL50 and Maglite XL100 are two powerful flashlights manufactured by Mag Instrument Inc., under the brand of Maglite. This company first introduced their flashlight to the market in 1979. Earlier, people didn’t really regard flashlights as a reliable item as they used to last for just a short span of time, and the average use time didn’t justify the cost of the batteries. After few days of usage, people dumped it because those days, flashlights were of very inferior quality and didn’t usually last very long. After several spending years on research to provide better flashlights to the public, Mag Instruments Inc. started perfecting the design of the flashlight by applying unique technology.
The Maglite XL50 LED flashlight is a very user friendly flashlight; it performs really well as compared to many other flashlights that are available in the market today. This heavy-duty quality flashlight has a deceptively sleek and compact design, so it can easily fit into your pockets. The Maglite XL50 also has a convenient holster, in case you want to put it away safely without the worry of damaging the flashlight.
The Maglite XL50 has an LED beam that can be adjusted from spot to flood mode, meaning the beam can be manually changed ranging from a pinpoint sharp beam of light to a widely dispersed, softer beam. These flashlights are made using the MAG-LED technology, which is very advanced, so you can be assured of having nothing excellent, durable quality in not only the shaft of your flashlight, but the bulb itself as well. One interesting feature is that it has Intelligent Energy Source Management (IESM,) which means that this flashlight monitors the brightness and power usage of the device continuously; it monitors the balance between them to make sure that the balance is optimum. They are: (i) High Power, (ii) energy savings to up to 25% power and, (iii) Emergency Safety Strobe.
Maglite XL50 vs. Maglite XL100 – Which Flashlight is Better?
Lumens - XL50 puts out 104 lumens as opposed to the 83 of the XL100.
Settings – The Maglite XL50 has 3 light settings: high power, 25% power and strobe, whereas the XL100 offers 7: normal, strobe, nightlight, signal, 25% power, lockout and variable power.
Maximum Distance – The max effective distance the beam of the XL50 is approximately 145 meters as compared to the 134 meters of the XL100.
Batteries - Both the flashlights use 3 AAA batteries.
Running Time – When used at its highest setting, the XL50 has a battery life of about 8 hours and 45 minutes; at low power it can last as long as 35 hours. The XL100, on the other hand, when used at its highest setting has a battery life of about 5 hours and 15 minutes; at its lower setting that number climbs to 20 hours.
While the Maglite XL50 seems to offer a simpler, more efficient light source, in no way is that to be interpreted as the Maglite XL100 is an inferior flashlight. Both Maglite models are high quality, high efficiency flashlights that offer their users the means to light up the dark, no matter the circumstances. In truth, the difference between the two lights merely means that it is up to the needs of the consumer to choose the model Maglite that best suits their needs. For instance, in addition to the multiple settings the XL100 offers, it also has an accelerometer. The Maglite XL100 LED flashlight is optimal for those looking for a little more out of their flashlight than just a steady beam, whatever those needs may be.
So it really is dependent upon the needs of the consumer which Maglite model is right for them; both the XL50 and the XL100 have the same sturdy, high-quality, dent and scratch resistance shafts and superior LED bulbs that make them the leaders in the flashlight industry. You just really can’t go the wrong way when choosing between the Maglite XL50 and the Maglite XL100.
