A South Carolina father is being accused by police of letting his 1-year-old daughter burn to death inside the back of his flaming vehicle while trying to flee officers on foot after a highway chase.
Imhotep Osiris Norman, 26, of Spartanburg, is now facing a homicide by child abuse charge stemming from the incidents alleged to have unfolded Friday. If convicted on the felony charge, he could be sentenced anywhere from 20 years to life in prison, The State newspaper reports.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol says officers first attempted to pull over Norman at around 10 p.m. in Greenville County after he was clocked doing 67 mph in a 45 mph zone. When Norman reportedly failed to stop, they gave chase and noticed that smoke and sparks were coming from his vehicle while it was barreling along Interstate-85.
The car eventually caught fire and Norman abandoned it, taking off on foot, according to Fox Carolina.
The station reported firefighters who arrived on-scene shortly afterward extinguished the blaze and found the body of a toddler in the car’s back seat. Spartanburg County Coroner Rusty Clevenger identified the victim as Xena Rah'Lah Norman, the suspect’s 1-year-old daughter.
Norman later was tracked down and arrested by police, and a bag that he allegedly threw out of his car’s window during the pursuit was found to contain illegal drugs, Fox Carolina reported.
During a court hearing Saturday, in which Norman was denied bond, he claimed his car was out of control and that it “wasn’t on fire” when he got out of it.
“It was going by itself,” Norman told a judge. “I couldn’t hit the gas or the brakes or anything anymore. When I hit the brakes in it, I just kept going the same amount of speed."

A point of contention, does what you put on your skin get absorbed into your blood stream? The answer is a resounding YES!
Depending on the substance up to 60%, and sometimes more, can be absorbed through your skin and into your blood stream. It is how nicotine patches and birth control patches work.
Deborah Burnes wrote a pretty great article on skin absorption that can be found at the following Huffington Post link and below.
Remember to be conscious of what you put on your skin and stay away from Aluminum and Propylene Glycol!
You might have heard that sure, parabens and other chemicals in your skin care are bad if ingested, but they can’t penetrate your skin so you don’t have anything to worry about. The fact is, much of what we place on our skin is absorbedinto our bloodstream. Just think about nicotine and birth control patches. We administer effective doses through the skin to our bloodstream, enabling us to forgo a daily oral pill in lieu of a patch that prevents pregnancy. Or a patch that keeps nicotine in our system without the side effects of smoking, allowing us to wean off of an addiction. While there may be some chemicals that are too large to enter our bloodstream, many are small enoughto penetrate. In 2005, the Environmental Working Group published a combination of two studies that found toxic chemicals in the umbilical cord blood of newborn babies born in the U.S. in the fall of 2004. They screened for more than 400 chemicals, and an astounding 287 toxins were detected within the umbilical cord blood of these newborns. Of these 287 chemicals, 217 were neurotoxins, and 208 are known to damage growth development or cause birth defects. These toxins included mercury, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), polybrominated and polychlorinated dibenzodioxins and furans (PBCD/F and PBDD/F), perflorinated chemicals (PFCs), organochlorine pesticides like DDT and chlordane, polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), polychlorinated napthalenes (PCNs), polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and many others. These study results have been largely ignored by the media.
Since we know without debate that some chemicals can and do enter your bloodstream through topical application, I you’re better off doing your best to avoid all known harmful chemicals on the chance they are entering your bloodstream.
3. Baby shampoo: Do your homework well when choosing baby shampoo (and all baby products)! A chemical called 1,4-dioxane is all too common in most brands. Product tests released by author and researcher David Steinman found 1,4- dioxane in more than 12 different best-selling brands of both shampoo and bubble bath. And 1,4-dioxane is cited as aprobable carcinogen by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and as an animal carcinogen by the National Toxicology Program. Unfortunately, this is a clear-cut example of the hidden dangers that lurk in your products that are not listed on the label. Because 1,4-dioxane is produced during manufacturing, the FDA does not require for it to be listed as an ingredient on the labels of products.
Parabens are taking all the heat and getting a bad rap. Parabens are used to preserve products, and the jury is still out on how harmful they are, but if we don’t need to be exposed to them, then why put ourselves in that position? Even if a product replaces parabens, they may use an equally bad or worse preservative, so check to see what the substitution is.
These have the same problem as parabens; they are getting all the heat while their substitutes are equally bad or worse.

Of all the things Marty McFly and Doc Brown revealed in Back to the Future, the one thing they skipped was the future of showing movies. Oh, they knew about laser projection and stuff like that but they sure didn’t see how that would help get us to 3D movies. Well, here are some coming attractions for tomorrow’s cinema.
Marrying laser technology and projector technology has been around since well before Doc and Marty set off on their time trek. It was actually invented in the 1970s. The problem until now has been laser projectors have still had to rely on a combination of a lamp to provide illumination and some sort of digital processing technology to translate the image you see on the screen. The lamp also needs a spinning color wheel to generate different colors that can create distortions. Eventually, the color wheel breaks down, and the lamp fades. The lamps emit lots of heat and are reliant on mercury, a substance known to be environmental unfriendly to say the least.
Solution? A new way to project called Laser/LED Hybrid technology. This form of illumination is a solid state, so the color wheel is gone, and so are the ghostly distortions. Solid state also means no heat-producing, energy-sucking lamp made of environmentally toxic mercury is necessary.
The real surprise is that the Hybrid LED laser projector is brighter. Old laser projectors needed as many as 30 lasers to reach 3000 lumens. The new solid state laser projectors require far fewer lasers to provide the same brightness.
Okay, so movie houses are about to replace their bulb-based laser projectors with new fangled solid state laser projectors – what’s the big deal?
The big deal is more than lower operating expenses and higher energy savings. The big deal is image quality and the next step in image projection – 3D movies! 3-D requires higher levels of light and color precision than any bulb-based digital projector can handle.
New Hybrid LED laser projectors use light modulator chips, one for red, green and blue beams, the colors necessary for digital projections. This allows precision color beams to be created for each pixel which allows for more subtle images and far more subtleties in light projection.
There are currently two competing technologies doing this: one from Texas Instruments, the other from Sony. Either are capable of projecting colors at over 4000 different brightness levels per pixel.
By broadening the spectrum of the light bandwidth, the projectors of the future will be able to drive more shades of color onto the screen. They’ll be able to provide levels of brightness and darkness the human eye is naturally capable of detecting. They’ll be able to make 3-D more lifelike and 2-D more dynamic. All with cool precision-regulated laser light.
In the end, it is a big deal because it will allow us to make movies that are even more real to us than they already are. Something Doc Brown and Marty McFly’s future never saw.

Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus gestures after scoring a goal during the English League Cup semi-final first leg match against Burton Albion, at the Etihad Stadium, in Manchester, England, on Jan. 9, 2019.
Gabriel Jesus scored four as defending champions Manchester City destroyed third-tier Burton Albion 9-0 in their League Cup semi-final first leg, a record margin of victory in the competition’s last four.
League One Burton, managed by Nigel Clough, the son of former Nottingham Forest boss Brian Clough, must endure another 90 minutes at their own ground on Jan. 23 before City formally books its place in the final.
Hundreds of Burton fans arrived late after their buses were stuck in motorway delays and, after this mauling, they might well wish they had turned around and gone home.
City, which beat Championship (second tier) side Rotherham United 7-0 on Sunday, is set to face the winner of the other semi-final between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, which Spurs lead 1-0 from the first-leg.
Manager Pep Guardiola fielded a strong starting lineup and City quickly established its dominance with Kevin De Bruyne steering in a header from an excellent lofted ball from David Silva to open the scoring in the fifth minute.
Burton should have drawn level in the 12th minute but Marcus Myers-Harness wasted a glorious chance, shooting wide when left unmarked at the back post.
From then on it was a painful night of attempted damage control for the team from the Midlands.
Jesus opened his account on the half hour, heading in from close range after Leroy Sané’s shot had been blocked by keeper Bradley Collins, with the ball popping up invitingly for the Brazilian.
Four minutes later, Jesus made it 3-0 with a low drive that went in off the post. Then Ukrainian Oleksandr Zinchenko added the fourth with a lofted shot from nearly 30 metres out.
Jesus completed his hat-trick in the 57th minute with a header from a Riyad Mahrez cross before substitute Phil Foden made it 6-0 in the 62nd – slotting home after Collins had blocked a Jesus shot.
The seventh – and Jesus’s fourth – was a clever flick from close-range after Sané had once again burst into the area on the left flank.
Burton was completely unable to defend that part of the field and even with Sané subbed off, Mahrez broke into that area and his low cross was turned in by Kyle Walker to make it 8-0.
City’s biggest ever margin of victory was a 12–0 FA Cup win over Liverpool Stanley in 1890. The Blues beat Huddersfield Town 10-1 in the old Division Two in 1987.

Making an informed choice about oil changes just got easier, thanks to new research on the quality of engine oil. AAA found that synthetic oil outperformed conventional oil by an average of nearly 50 percent in its independent evaluation, offering vehicles significantly better engine protection for only $5 more per month when following a factory-recommended oil change schedule.
According to AAA research, very few vehicles require synthetic oil, but all vehicles can benefit by using it. At an oil change service, many drivers are offered a choice between conventional or synthetic oil.
However, in a companion AAA nationwide survey of U.S. drivers, 44 percent are either unsure (27 percent) or do not believe (17 percent) that the more expensive synthetic oil is better for a vehicle’s engine. Reasons cited for regularly choosing the cheaper, conventional oil include feeling that synthetic oil is too expensive, offers no benefit, that the upgrade to synthetic oil is an unnecessary up-sell by a repair facility, or they are simply not offered the choice.
Switching from conventional oil to synthetic oil will cost the average driver $64 more per year, or an extra $5.33 per month. A survey of AAA’s Approved Auto Repair facilities reveals that the average cost of a conventional oil change is $38, while a synthetic oil change is $70. For those that change their vehicle’s oil themselves, the average cost of 5 quarts of conventional oil is approximately $28, while synthetic oil is $45. AAA’s survey also shows that vast majority (83 percent) of service professionals select synthetic oil for their personal vehicles.
The hesitation to select synthetic oil may stem from American distrust in repair facilities. Another recent AAA survey found that two-thirds of U.S. drivers do not trust repair facilities, with most citing concern over the recommendation of unnecessary services. Those looking for a trusted repair facility are urged to consider one that meets AAA’s high standards, including, technician certifications, ongoing training, financial stability, facility cleanliness, insurance requirements, rigorous inspections and customer satisfaction through the AAA Approved Auto Repair (AAR) program. To locate a shop in your area, visit AAA.com/AutoRepair.
Oil quality comes down to the oil’s ability to withstand the extreme conditions that exist inside the engine. The greater the resistance to deterioration, the greater protection of vital engine components.
Synthetic oils offer additional protection for your vehicle, particularly if it frequently tows heavy loads, operates in extreme temperatures or is driven in stop-and-go traffic.
Conventional oil that meets a manufacture’s specifications will not harm a vehicle’s engine. Always ensure that any oil used in your engine meets the internal performance standards required by the vehicle manufacturer.
Always follow the oil change interval provided by the vehicle manufacturer. This can be found in the owner’s manual, or the on-board oil life system.
AAA’s full research report, fact sheet and additional supporting materials can be found at www.NewsRoom.AAA.com.

Francois Hollande was elected French President in May 2012 on the promise of ‘reverting the unemployment curve’ using growth policies.
Three years later, the promise has not materialised. Unemployment in France is at historic highs. The latest jobless figure has reached the symbolic threshold of 3.5 million, writes Dr Emmanuel Martin.
Long-term unemployment increased by 10 per cent in one year. And that is only for category A in the mainland. The latest figure for all categories and all territories is more than 5.5 million.
This ties in with figures of rising business bankruptcies which are up 7.6 per cent in the first quarter of 2015.
A combination of unwise policies and constantly changing business rules is creating legal uncertainty. This is highly toxic for investment and risk, and has caused this tragedy. The new, but very modest, ‘supply’ turn is far from enough.
It is time for French politicians to really wake up.
The International Monetary Fund has pointed out the need for reforms in the French labour market where rules currently hinder competitiveness. The complexity of the the French labour code and the costs it forces upon entrepreneurs, ends up being a pro-unemployment guide. Even the redistribution measures, thought to benefit companies, are ignored by many businesses because they are so complicated and can lead to tax inspectors being sent out. The labour code, which regulates employment and trade union law, needs rethinking.
The IMF is right, but there is more.
French economist Bernard Zimmern said France lacks ‘gazelles’ - the fast-growing small companies which could create jobs. But for them to raise money is still complicated in France - more so than the UK, for example - because French tax rules penalise investors.
France must reduce its overall public spending as this is stifling not stimulating the economy. And, more and more people are hiding their activities in the informal sector to escape paying taxes and contributions and to avoid red tape.
But, as always in a post-election year, local taxes will increase. This is a symptom of the lack of sound management of taxpayers’ money.
Public spending will never be reduced until accountability is included in the French democratic process. This is the deep reform France has to undertake.
The shameful fact is that the big spenders of taxpayers’ money shield themselves from such accountability.
President Hollande has two years before the next elections. He will probably do nothing and use the fight against terrorism or global warming to fill the void. But this will not solve France’s economic woes.

Once Donut has been added to your Slack team, you can begin inviting Donut to the channel(s) you'd like to use it in.
In this article, we'll cover how to add Donut to a private channel. With a private Slack channel, users must be invited in order to join and the channel will include a lock icon next to its name. These channels are for discussions that are not open to your entire team.
Go to the channel you'd like to add Donut to and type "/invite @donut". Donut will then DM you to finish the set up – this is where you'll set the frequency of pairings for your team. Don't worry, you can always view or change the settings later in your dashboard at donut.ai.
1. Because private channels are only visible to members, you cannot initiate setup of a private channel from the dashboard. It must be done through the Slack channel.
2. Only people in the private channel can see and edit pairing settings in the dashboard after Donut has been added to the channel.

Providing employment and career opportunities is also a key focus for Ribbonwood NZ.
After almost 40 years in the forestry industry, harvesting more than 250,000 truckloads of stumpage logs and returning millions in sales to its clients, Ribbonwood NZ can justiﬁably say that it is one of New Zealand’s most experienced independent forest harvesting and marketing companies still in existence.
New Zealand-owned and operated, Ribbonwood NZ is also one of the country’s largest independent purchasers of standing commercial and private forests, woodlots, land and trees.
Ribbonwood NZ has competitively tendered and purchased many commercial forests from New Zealand’s biggest corporate owners, managing to unlock additional value and supply chain efﬁciency.
Passionate about the industry that he has worked in for the last 30 years, Ribbonwood NZ’s managing director Pete Smith says the company’s hallmark is its focus on performance delivery and transparent accountability in tandem with the integration of its operations and nurturing of its own people and long-term customer relationships. “We care about the result as much, if not more, than our clients.
There is no difference in how we approach and carry out forest harvesting, be it one of our own or that of an independent client.
“We constantly buy standing trees and forests ourselves to insure we’re always invested in the industry and retain an intent to create wealth for owners and stakeholders” Providing employment and career opportunities for those who ultimately make it happen is also a key focus for Ribbonwood.
Ribbonwood’s partnership structure in developing a new generation of logging crew owners and cartage contractors has been the industry benchmark and led to founding director Kevin Goodman being recognised with the FITEC (Forest Industries Training and Education Council) Outstanding Industry Contribution award in 2007.
“Part of that award recognition was the culmination of 30 years dedication to developing people and identifying the need to create a succession model that matched the sustainability of plantation forestry itself,” explains Pete.
Having endured 40 years in an industry that has provided its fair share of difﬁculties Pete envisages the environment and health and safety being one of the industry’s key challenges going forward.
New Zealand owned Ribbonwood NZ is one of the New Zealand’s most experienced independent forest harvesting and marketing companies.
Following the recent Tolaga Bay storm it became crucial to allocate time towards ﬁnding appropriate solutions on red-zoned and steep classiﬁed land to manage the harvest wisely.
Pete says much is made of the dangers of forestry through the media, however he believes the industry is well advanced and continues to positively evolve.
Concerned about health and safety within the forestry industry, Ribbonwood developed Linksafe for the forestry industry to formalise the work it was doing helping other contractors and small businesses with their health and safety systems.

The Lions Club of Annandale was organized on March 23, 1948 under the sponsorship of the South Arlington, Virginia Lions Club during a dinner held at the George Mason Hotel in downtown Alexandria. On May 4th of that year, the 30 original members of the Lions Club of Annandale met at the Annandale Methodist Church for its formal chartering ceremony and initial charter night celebration.
Back then, Annandale was a tranquil rural community with several gas stations, a couple of small restaurants, a variety store, a new volunteer fire department, an elementary school, several churches, a Grange (i.e., agricultural lodge), and little else. For a time, the club held its meetings at the Little Tea House in Arlington, however attendance was dropping off and a new meeting place was needed. The Annandale Baptist Church came to the rescue by allowing the Club to have its dinner meetings there. In December, the meeting place changed again -- this time to the Dardanelles Restaurant in Falls Church.
By the end of the first year, there were only 12 of the original members left and the Club was in financial difficulty. The situation was serious -- Lions International was discussing with the District Governor the possibility of rescinding the Clubs Charter. But then Lion Erk Worden was elected as the new club President--he agreed to be President if Lion Vic Ghent would serve as Secretary. During that second year, they and several other Lions worked energetically to rebuild the Club on a firmer foundation. Their enthusiasm sparked the Annandale Lions to pull together for the purpose of collectively serving the Annandale Community. The Club now had defined its mission -- a legacy that has continued for over a half century.
During the ensuing years, the club helped the community through its transition from a modest rural crossroads to the bustling urban center that it is today.
For example, in its first decade, the club became involved with many community projects such as: establishing an address system for street numbering that was ultimately adopted by Fairfax County, expanded throughout the county and continues in use today; purchasing and installing many of the original street signs for the Annandale community; developing and maintaining a response map for the fire department; equipping the playground and a clinic room at the Annandale Elementary School; purchasing raincoats for the local school safety patrols; sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop, Explorer Post, and a baseball team; purchasing tables and chairs for the Annandale Library; endowing a room in the Fairfax Hospital (now a part of the maternity ward); and supporting overseas relief efforts.
As the community grew and developed over the ensuing 40 years, the Club's service activities evolved to meet the community's changing needs and priorities. The Club carried on numerous activities and projects. For example, the club purchased sections of bleacher seats and lighting for Annandale High School, supported the construction and outfitting of a physical therapy room at the Northern Virginia Training Center for the Mentally Retarded, constructed a children's playhouse at the Annandale Christian Community for Action's Day Care Center and landscaped its Elder Care Center; and purchased a special camera to make Fluorescein Angiograms of the eye's retina for the Virginia Lions Eye Institute at Fairfax Hospital.
The Lions Club of Annandale has also been instrumental in establishing several service programs and sponsoring other Lions Clubs within the Multiple District. For example, in 1960, the Club joined with a several other Lions Clubs to establish a Lions Youth Camp in District 24-A. In 1967, Annandale's Lion Merlin McLaughlin provided the driving force which resulted in the adoption of the Leader Dog program throughout Virginia.
In 1979 Annandale's Lion Peter Bianchi became the first technician on the Lions Sight and Hearing mobile screening van. The Lions Club of Annandale has also sponsored the formation of four new clubs in the District; Baileys Crossroads Lions Club (February 1954), Springfield-Franconia Host Lions Club (July 1954), Alexandria-Lincolnia Lions Club (March 1964), and the Annandale Lioness Club (November 1981). In addition, three Annandale Lions have been elected and have served as District Governors within Multiple District 24. They are: Lion Leland Hayden (1954-55), Lion William Frogale (1961-62), and Lion Merlin McLaughlin (1965-66).
On the lighter side, one of the Clubs most memorable fund raising events was sponsoring a rodeo many years ago on the grounds of the Annandale Elementary School. Although the members of the Club at that time were known to have a good line of bull, they were not prepared for the real thing. Several members had up-close and personal experiences (narrow escapes) with a couple of particularly active (mean) and large bulls during that extraordinary event. One of the bulls came close to demolishing the fence and escaping from the ring. However, quick thinking saved the day when a member employed his truck to shore up the fence, thus preventing the bull from escaping and raising havoc within the community. Although the rodeo didn't generate much profit, it remains our most memorable, but never repeated, fund-raising event.

Core element: Loading StringGrid from a CSV textfile.
This page is dedicated to the memory of the wonderful English actress Ann Emery, 1930-2016. I believe that her wonderful realization of the role of "Grandma", and the support she gave to all around her, especially the children, were large parts of the phenomenal success of the original London production of the musical "Billy Elliot".
You can see her as Grandma in the DVD of the show, "Billy Elliot Live".
I learned the sad news of her death while creating this page.
Lazarus provides a way to load CSV files. I would presume that Delphi does too. (If it doesn't, I believe that my way of loading them would work there.) I'll show it to you.
So why write another? I wrote it because I was misled by something I read in an official reference, late September 2016. I've kept, and am promoting, what I've done because I don't like an aspect of the "easy" answer.
This might be a good time to download the zip file with the sourcecode for my CSV- to- StringGrid loader. It has a compiled .exe to play with.
Or you can just examine the sourcecode, below.
You will also find an "How To" guide, over at my Open Office tutorials, which covers using a CSV file consisting of multiple records to append those records to a database table.
A CSV FILE is a collection of RECORDs, which are each made up of one or more FIELDS.
The first record has three fields, the second has four.
Within a record, a FIELD SEPARATOR indicates where one field ends and the next begins. The comma has traditionally been used for this (CSV derives from COMMA Separated Values), but other characters, including the non-"printing" TAB character (ASCII 9) are often used. The field separator in the examples is a comma.
Multiple field separator characters:In the SheepdogGuides version, only the specified field separator is treated as a field separator. In the Lazarus version, spaces also count as separators. (Subject to the separator-as-data considerations we turn to in a moment.) So, in the SheepdogGuides version, the following record has 4 fields, but in the Lazarus version it has 5, "Monarch" and "Butterfly" being deemed to be "separated".
Separator-as-data: There is a way around "the problem.... in the Lazarus version. With a bonus.
The SheepdogGuides approach is less flexible... and more predicable. I kept saying "at 01 Oct 16", because I am tempted to add the "enclose a thing in quotes, and it becomes one field, regardless of contents" feature, but it won't be happening any time soon.
There's a discussion of some of the whys and wherefors in the thread at http://forum.lazarus.freepascal.org which the link will take you to.
1) The programmer determines the size of the StringGrid, at design time, in the LoadFileToStringGrid. If sgData.ColCount is set to 7, the StringGrid will have 7 columns.
3) Because of the "OR (bColIndexL>8)" just mentioned, the SheepdogGuides version, as at 01 Oct 16, can't handle records of lots of fields. The "8" was picked more or less at random. It has to be larger than (maybe "equal to" okay" the number you assigned to sgData.ColCount. When this code is More Better, I suspect that the cure of one of these shortcomings will also cure the other. At the moment, the "problem" is not severe if while you are writing applications with the code you know basic things about the CSV it will be working with. But it is untidy, I know.
Trimming: What about spaces at the start and end of anything else between the field separators?
... it won't show "hi". Without trimming the second field's value would be "SPACE-B-u-g". Dumb computer. But CONSISTENT, and easily predictable computer.
No datum vs datum is "nothing": Here's a brain bender for you. It is along the lines of the old "if a man says "I can stop working now" five miles from the nearest woman, is he still wrong?"
What is the difference between a bank account for Joe Bloggs which has nothing in it, and the situation where Joe doesn't have the account? Quite significant, when you put it like that!
... the last cell will be empty because you didn't put anything there.
... then you would be saying "Put Owl in the first cell, NOTHING in the second cell, Bird in the third, and Vertebrate in the last.
Arcane as it sounds, it matters.
In the SheepdogGuides version, there's a remmed out line that you can restore to the code which will put "null" (or other text of your choosing) into any cell which had a "nothing" put in it, so you can tell which those cells were, vs the ones that were not accessed at all. (Search on "then sOneField:='null'").
The last line: Does it matter if, after the last printing character in the CSV, the person entering the data pressed the Enter key?
In the Lazarus version, empty lines at the end of the CSV are ignored. It even ignores lines with just spaces. (But not a line with a comma).
The SheepdogGuides version will "see" the line created by each "enter", add an empty row.
Column width adjustments: At one point, after the Lazarus version had loaded all of the records into the StringGrid, it adjusted the width of each column to make it just wide enough for the longest entry in that column. It doesn't do that any more.
The Lazarus version was not doing any width adjusting at 01 Oct 16... which is a good thing, inspired me to change the SheepdogGuides version.
Why "take out a feature"? Because it won't always be wanted. And if you DO want the feature, be it for the Lazarus or SheepdogGuides way to fill the StringGrid, just call the StringGrid's "AutoSizeColumns" method, if you want the widths adjusted.
By the way... sorry... until I can get to addressing all the "issues" of Fixed Columns (or rows) in a StringGrid, I have to ask you to set those properties to zero, if using my Load and Save. (In a nutshell: those columns ARE in the "cells[x,y] world, just like all the other cells of the StringGrid... but they are OUTSIDE of what you can "reach" at run time with mouse clicks or arrow keys.
The related propterties are usually set to zero or 1. When set to 1, you get the things where column titles/ row numbers typically go, at the top and on the left.
At 01 Oct 16, if you read about CSV stuff at http://wiki.freepascal.org/CsvDocument, it sounded like you had to "add stuff" to your basic Lazarus IDE.
Go along to http://wiki.freepascal.org/Grids_Reference_Page for lots of good stuff about grids in general, which will help you work with StringGrids.
I hope this section doesn't grow much. It is for odds and ends which have occured to me since writing the code you see here.
It may be that a blank line in the file of records to be appended will terminate the loading of records from that into this. I don't aspire to make my code idiot PROOF. Idiot resistant will do. Rather than re-write the code, I will rely on users to notice the shortfall, visit the CSV file, and figure out what is wrong and fix it.
And so to the sourcecode! I try to keep in step what is here and what is in the .zip file with .exe, sample data, and full sourcecode, forms files, etc which you can download. Sometimes they get out of step though. I would be grateful if you let me know of anything puzzling that you encounter. Maybe you can save the next person the hassle of scratching heads?

text: The art of body piercing goes way back to the rituals of many indigenous tribes. Over the past few decades, the number of people interested in body piercing has grown. Some piercing are forms of style and fashion, some are significant changes made to your body to make a personal statement, and some are simply for aesthetic reasons. Whatever your motivation for getting a body piercing, it's best to fully educate yourself before you get pierced. It's very important to have a comprehensive understanding of the different options available to you, how to take care of your piercing afterward, and how to make the best decisions regarding your particular body modification.

So in the beginning of last month I mentioned some projects I wanted to finish for October, and we pretty much managed to reach our goal.
As you can see there are dark borders around the new doors, the old doors had wider frames so the new ones are not reaching the painted part of the walls.
Also while removing the old frames some parts of the plaster work fell off, so it will need to be plastered and then I will paint the walls (and hang that annoying cable neatly back to the wall too).
From the inside you can see better what I mean with the plaster work, their are some gaps and ugly bits. This will all be fixed this month, in combination with the bathroom revamp I mentioned last month, I will come back to that in a bit. I was also not able to make the stone path to one of the sheds, which I hoped to finish in October but did not manage, fingers crossed for this month!
Another project I showed last month was this chair, it took aaaaages to prepare for upholstery. The wood had many holes of the previous upholstery jobs and the frame needed some extra support. I've sanded, filled and varnished it many many times in a span of several weeks before I could actually paint it.
It got all fresh and pretty after a nice white paint and it was finallyyyyy ready to become an armchair again.
New webbing, filling, foam and tender loving care.
I hand cut and sewed many meters of double piping, it took me hours but the result made it all worth it.
Tadaaaa! We looove the results, I am still banging my head for forgetting to take a picture of its original state before removing the old fabric and filling, it was a very sad sad chair.
We covered it with a vintage quilt, very Americana with the color scheme, and super cheerful without being girly.
The back side is a happy checkered fabric, all sides are cheerful and we spent many extra hours to make it pretty in each and every small and big detail. I will be listing it later today to join our other furniture pieces.
So back to this month and the bathroom I mentioned before. When two guys will come to plaster around our two new doors they will also do so work in our sad sad bathroom.
And good luck with the bathroom remodeling!
I'm totally in love with the armchair! Great job!
And keeping my fingers crossed that you'll reach your goals in November!
You've been busy again! Love the chair!!!
Wow, Estella, so much work and so beautiful results!!!

Want to find talented employees faster? Save time reviewing resumes and performing background checks by letting a staffing company do the work for you. Thanks to their extensive network of connections, the best recruiters can find great candidates in days instead of weeks. As a bonus, they have a better likelihood of reaching those passive candidates who are in high demand.
Staffing shortages can lead to a drop in productivity while stressing out current staff members who have to put in extra hours. One of the benefits of working with a recruiter is they can deliver flexibility with regard to workforces. Whether you need new full-time employees, or short-term hires to help out during the busy season, recruiters can help you adjust your workforce based on demand.
When you hire temp workers, they have the chance to observe your company and try out the role in the short term before committing to something more permanent. If everyone is satisfied with the arrangement after the trial period is over, you can arrange for a long-term placement. The reduced turnover will save you both time and money.
If you’re searching for your next great employee, don’t hesitate to contact Accurate Personnel. We find talented applicants based on your specific qualifications and requirements. Additionally, we screen every employee so you know they’re up to the task. Ready to get started? Call today or submit a job order for our staffing services online.

Please feel free to comment in any way, your opinion is important!
What % of what's shown in the video is Marketplace / Free sourced Assets?
The 2D retro looking HUD doesn't really add anything, it lets the game down.
It blocks the screen and breaks immersion too! Could the HUD be a popup?
Suggestion: An obvious one to look at for ideas maybe is Halo.
But I'm reluctant to steer you / imply this is like the only Bible etc.
Looking really nice man, all seems pretty smooth! In terms of feedback I have two quick points that you could consider.
The first is that I agree with franktech's statement about the HUD. I know that this is just WIP but something you should think about later down the line is a unique HUD that sets the style for your game. The design of this can completely change how the game looks and feels for the end user and make your game instantly recognisable from a single screenshot; currently for me it doesn't fit the world you have created or give your game a distinctive style.
The second is that I love your invisibility and time-warp effects, however I think the rings are maybe a little too obstructive/harsh (maybe a design choice?). I am not sure exactly how it would play out without seeing it, but I would experiment with making these rings slightly wider and feather//fade the edges so that the world appears to be warping rather than shrinking rings on the screen? Like I said I'm just trying to picture this in my head without any evidence in front of me but It's something to look into!
Besides these suggestions it looks great, keep up the hard work!
P.S. How are you handling the ammo/weapon switching currently? Is the ammo stored in the character controller while the weapons spawn and destroy or are the meshes just hidden and disabled etc? Cheers!
Thank you SergeantStudios for your feedback. The HUD problem and the time warp effect were the 2 biggest concerns I also had and since you and Franktech saw the same problems it means they must both be changed. Until now I wasn't sure but now it is very clear.
About your question...the weapon is a skeletal mesh component which I change based on the value of an index (index 0 is the first weapon..index 5 the last one...there are 6 weapons working right now but in the video you can see only 2). I made a print screen of the weapon switching function. As you can see, when the index changes i have to set a new skeletal mesh, a new animclass and a new static mesh.
Yeah not to worry, it's good that you know yourself they can be improved and in reality it is only visual...the mechanics look pretty tight!!
Ah perfect!! I'm playing around with an inventory of my own just now so it's good to get some insight into how other have successfully managed. Yours seem like a pretty stable set-up, is the ammo just stored on each individual weapon then?
For every gun I created a different ammo (which is of course a blueprint) with different properties (different damage, speed, size), so here is the same, depending of the index I spawn different bullets (ammo). The only connection between ammo and weapon is the index...so depending of the current index I know what weapon to set and what bullet to spawn from that weapon. Is that what you were asking ?
Great! Thanks for the clarification. Makes total sense, I have a similar approach to my own code. Best of luck with your game and hope to see more progress soon!

I have a 1982 chevy c10 pickup and I want to replace the 305 motor with a larger one. What would you suggest for the larger motor and where would be the best place to find one?
A 350 would bolt in without any mods. As far as the source that depends on your budget. Rebuilt ones aren't too bad on price for that and if you want used you gamble. Could look around local classifieds and call some salvage yards. If buying private party its a good idea be able to hear it run, or else be a victim buying a blown motor. May even find a running vehicle with one that is a good engine but a bad vehicle. Pull the motor and make some money back by scrapping the rest of it.

Werewolves, Vampires, Zombies, and Humans are nice, but let’s just run some numbers.
How Much Life Loss Can You Expect from Sin Prodder and Sorin?
In this deck, the expected converted mana cost of a revealed card is 1.17. That’s not a lot, so even if your opponent would always choose to lose life to Sin Prodder’s ability, the card is likely worse than Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh in a red aggro deck.
The expected converted mana cost of a revealed card from this deck is 1.87. That’s better, but still not a huge amount. Even if your opponent would always choose to lose life to Sin Prodder’s ability, it seems worse than Tireless Tracker in a red/green midrange deck. There are some exceptions—for instance, if you need Sin Prodder to enable delirium or if the format is filled with lumbering creatures so that menace is super valuable—but overall I’m not a fan. To make things worse, Sin Prodder’s trigger is a punisher mechanic that gives the opponent a choice, which is a huge drawback.
Note that this was just a quick analysis as the expected converted mana cost does not tell the entire story. The variance is huge and, moreover, the value of a card can depend on its converted mana cost. But the expected value still provides a useful indication.
Turning to Sorin: that card is always good. The life loss is only incidental, but in a midrange deck, you’re a very small favorite to shoot down an opponent who starts at 4 life with 2 activations.
How Many Instants and Sorceries Do You Need for Thing in the Ice?
An application of the hypergeometric distribution, based on a deck with 60 cards with a certain number of instants/sorceries, gives us the following chart.
When I have Thing in the Ice in my deck, I would want to be 90% sure I have seen at least 4 instants/sorceries in the top 15 cards. These numbers are a bit arbitrary, but in the context of a Standard deck, they correspond to turn 6 on the play, where I have seen 3 extra cards via card draw spells. This 90% requirement for the top 15 cards corresponds to a deck with at least 23 instants/sorceries, which seems like a good number to aim for.
How Likely Are You to Hit Delirium?
There are a ton of nice delirium cards in Shadows over Innistrad, and they yield interesting deck building challenges. The likelihood of achieving delirium in a reasonable time frame (which is like producing a 4/5 Tarmogoyf) depends on a lot of factors, such as how quickly your creatures die and how easily you can get cards of a certain type into the graveyard.
Any math I do will be riddled with assumptions, but it can still help to get a feel for the new mechanic. I’ll start off by considering a Constructed deck where you have N cards of each non-tribal type and determining how likely it is to see at least four different card types in your top X cards. So if N=4, then this is a deck with 4 lands, 4 creatures, 4 sorceries, 4 instants, 4 planeswalkers, 4 artifacts, and 4 enchantments. All of these cards are assumed to go to the graveyard easily, so I’m talking about 4 Evolving Wilds, 4 Insolent Neonate, 4 Duress, 4 Fiery Impulse, 4 Nissa, Voice of Zendikar, 4 Hedron Archive, and 4 Dead Weight. The rest of the deck consists of lands and creatures that, for simplicity, never go to the graveyard. I won’t claim that this is perfectly realistic, but for this deck, I want to know the probability of drawing at least four different types of graveyard-bound cards in the top X cards.
So in this elegant setting with a 4-of graveyard-bound card of each type, you can achieve delirium in most games with reasonable consistency.
Of course, for actual Constructed decks, you typically run more than a few creatures and lands, and they may head toward your graveyard reliably if you have plenty of self-mill cards like Gather the Pack or discard enablers like Jace, Vryn’s Prodigy. Moreover, you may not run certain card types, such as artifact or planeswalker, at all. So for the next analysis, let’s suppose that you always have a creature and a land in your graveyard guaranteed. We can then re-run the numbers where you have N cards of each of the three remaining card types (enchantment, instant, and sorcery).
So in this setting where you need to find at least two of the three remaining card types, it will be substantially more difficult to reliably achieve delirium if you only have 4 sorcery, 4 instant, and 4 enchantment.
There can be endless variations and calculations, and in the end a lot depends on how easy it is to get card types into your graveyard (not just your hand) in real games of Magic. But as a starting point, this exploratory analysis points me in the direction of building a deck with at least 6 instants, 6 sorceries, and as many different card types as possible.
Starting with the upcoming Pro Tour Shadows over Innistrad in Madrid, there will be a change to the best-of-five playoff matches in the Top 8 of Pro Tours: the second game will be another pre-sideboard game. So you only get to sideboard from game 3 onward.
This change is fine with me. In a normal match of Magic, you play 33.3% pre-board games and 66.7% post-board games, assuming the match goes to game 3. Since 40% pre-board games and 60% post-board games matches those numbers more closely than 20% and 80%, respectively, the addition of a second pre-board game seems okay.
P2Q + P2(1-Q)Q + P2(1-Q) 2Q + 2(1-P)PQ2 + 4(1-P)P(1-Q)Q2 +(1-P) 2Q3.
Not the most elegant formula, but at least it allows me to plug in the reasonable numbers of P=0.7 and Q=0.4 for an Affinity-style deck to obtain a match win percentage of 53.8%. That’s not overly dominant, so decks that are particularly strong pre-board don’t have a huge edge. I probably won’t take this Top 8 change into account when selecting my deck for the upcoming Pro Tours.
What is the Probability of Hitting with Duskwatch Recruiter?
This card hasn’t received a lot of excitement, but it’s a strong 2-drop that is good early and good late. It allows for the very reasonable sequence of Duskwatch Recruiter on turn 2, an activation and transformation on turn 3, and a 5-drop creature on turn 4. But regarding that activated ability, how often can you expect to hit at least 1 creature?
So, for most Standard decks, you’ll have about a 3/4 probability of getting a free card. Taking into account that you get a choice if you hit more than one, I’d argue that the activated ability is better than that on Azure Mage. Combine that with an impressive 3/3 on the back side, and you have a card with serious Constructed potential.
This has got to be one of my favorite cards in the set. From the Greek tris (three), kai (and), deka (ten), and phobia (fear), the name captures the fear of the number 13. Beautifully, in the picture of the card, there are 13 tools on the ceiling, 13 log in the stove, 13 bloody spots on the wall, 13 stones in the arch, and 13 broken pieces on the ground.
The number 13 has long been considered unlucky in western culture. For instance, Friday the 13th is a day where many superstitious people expect bad luck. This more specific fear of that particular day also has a name: paraskevidekatriaphobia. Just rolls off the tongue, doesn’t it?
Well, it could get even worse, as fears regarding the number 13 aren’t the only numerical fears that have led to a name with Greek origins. Irrational fear of the number 666 (the so-called number of the beast) is known as… hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia.
Try saying that thirteen times in a row.
As for the playability of Triskaidekaphobia, I don’t see Standard prospects because it’s a little too awkward against an opposing painland to work. But it could act as a reasonable win condition in Limited. I haven’t gotten to see the card in action at my prerelease, so I’m curious to learn about other people’s experiences. If you have any fun Triskaidekaphobia stories to share, then please do so in the comment section of this article!

My favorite song on Fight Songs isn’t really a fight song, or even a love song really, and it sure as hell isn’t alt-country either.
What it is, however, is a song that combines both Rhett Miller’s penchant for clever lyrics and his ability to write a plaintive melody line that sticks in your head.
If the Old 97’s breakthrough album, 1997’s Too Far To Care, was both an amplification and expansion of their alt-country roots, then the follow-up, 1999’s Fight Songs, was a conscious effort to break out of alt-country once and for all.
Instead, they moved more towards straight out rock ‘n’ roll, while still keeping one foot in the alt-country world, with the opening track on Fight Songs, “Jagged” as a near-perfect transition. As well as one of their very best songs.
Hailing from Dallas, Texas, the Old 97’s have been putting their raucous spin on what we used to call alt-country for 25 years now.
Featuring ageless lead singer Stuart Ransom “Rhett” Miller II, a former teenaged songwriting prodigy who retains a gift for slightly dirty one-liners, and guitarist Ken Bethea, who alternates hooks and snarling leads, they’ve remained remarkably consistent during that time: you could pick up literally any Old 97’s album from any part of their career and walk away humming.
Even on the AM radio in 1973, you could tell just how weird and fucked-up the production of “For The Love of Money” was.
First off there was that bassline: weirdly echoing around itself; simultaneously creating and filling space around itself. And in fact, it was so unique that bassist Anthony Jackson ended up with a partial songwriting credit, which probably changed his life forever, as “For The Love of Money” is yet another one of those songs that has never left popular culture.

The City Council passed a Construction & Demolition Debris Ordinance effective February 1, 2007.
Projects having a building permit valuation greater than or equal to $50,000 are required to divert at least 50% of the debris generated by the project from going to a landfill. This includes all construction, demolition and/or renovation projects within the City. Although not required, the City encourages projects with a valuation of less than $50,000 to recycle at least 50% of the debris generated.
Required documentation of compliance: The project applicant is required to submit a completed and signed Debris Recycling Statement (DRS) prior to the issuance of a building permit. Prior to the start of construction/demolition, the project applicant is required to submit a Drop Box – Dumpster Application. Richmond Sanitary Service, the City’s franchised waste hauler, will work with the project applicant to ensure that at least 50% of the debris generated is recycled. Richmond Sanitary Service will verify that the contents of the drop box were recyclable and recycled and submit to the City an accounting of the weight and types of materials diverted.
Do not place non-recyclable material in the C&D recycling drop box! Please note that if the drop box intended for the collection of mixed recyclable debris is contaminated with debris that is not recyclable, the contents of the box will be treated as waste (non-recyclable material) and taken to the landfill. As a result, you will forfeit your eligibility to receive a rebate for half the cost of the box through the Incentive Program and will be responsible for the full cost of the box.

The question of what is, and what is not, part of international law is fundamental in shaping its current form and its development. Traditionally, treaties between states and state practice were seen as the primary means with which to create international law. However, the definition of what the sources of international law are, and how they operate, has been questioned in significant ways. Particularly this has been seen in the more recent developments in the notion of customary international law, which stands alongside international treaties and instruments as a key foundation upon which international law is built. This book provides a key inquiry into all the recognised, or asserted, sources of international law. It investigates the impact of ethical principles on the creation of international law; whether 'soft law' norms come into being through the same sources as binding international law; and whether jus cogens norms, and those involving rights and obligations erga omnes have a unique place in the creation of international legal norms. It studies the notion of 'general principles of international law' within international law's sub-disciplines, and the evolving relationship between treaty-based law and customary international law. Re-examining the traditional model, it investigates the increasing role of international jurisprudence, and looks at the nature of international organisations and non-state actors as potential new sources of international law. The book provides a perfect introduction to the law of sources, as well as innovative perspectives on new developments, making it essential reading for anyone studying or working in international law.
This book revisits the theory of the sources of international law from the perspective of formalism. It critically analyses the virtues of formalism, construed as a theory of law ascertainment, as a means of distinguishing between law and non-law. The theory of formalism is re-evaluated against the backdrop of the growing acceptance by international legal theorists of the blurring of the lines between law and non-law. At the same time, the book acknowledges that much international normative activity nowadays takes place outside the ambit of traditional international law and that only a limited part of the exercise of public authority at the international level results in the creation of international legal rules. The theory of ascertainment that the book puts forward attempts to dispel some of the illusions of formalism that accompany the traditional sources of international law. It also sheds light on the tendency of scholars, theorists, and advocates to deformalize the identification of international legal rules with a view to expanding international law. The book seeks to revitalize and refresh the formal identification of rules by engaging with some tenets of the postmodern critique of formalism. As a result, the book not only grapples with the practice of law-making at the international level, but it also offers broad theoretical insights on international law, dealing with the main schools of thought in legal theory (positivism, naturalism, legal realism, policy-oriented jurisprudence, and postmodernism). This paperback edition features the author's discussion of this book on the EJIL Talk blog.

A manhunt yesterday was safely resolved after police were able to locate a Perry County man who had removed his court ordered home monitoring GPS unit.
31-year-old David Templin was arrested Tuesday after he removed his ankle monitor device and led police on a brief game of cat and mouse that began in Perry county and ended here in Dubois county.
Templin who is facing pre-trial charges stemming from an incident in March in which he allegedly impersonated a public safety official at a home where police were investigating a battery. During that time Templin reportedly told police he was a first responder however was unable to produce appropriate credentials. In the March incident police said that Templin was carrying a handgun in his waistband and found an AR-15, high-capacity clips and a police radio in his vehicle he had arrived in to the scene.
Yesterday (April 17, 2018), Tell City Police Dispatch receive a call from the Perry County Community Corrections around 10:22 a.m. that Templin had cut his GPS ankle monitor off. Templin had been on home monitoring with the Perry County Community Corrections program following his March arrest.
A warrant was issued Tuesday morning for Templin on Escape, police report that he was known to be carrying a weapon.
Tell City Dispatch were able to track his phone and notified neighboring law enforcement that Templin was heading into the Jasper area in a red 1995 Lincoln Town Car.
Jasper Police were posted near schools as a precautionary measure. As the manhunt continued fellow agencies assisting in the search included: Jasper, Huntingburg and Ferdinand Police along with the Dubois County Sheriff Dept. and Indiana State Police.
While police continued to search the Jasper area Dubois County Sheriff Deputy Wade Pierce located Templin just before 1:30 p.m. near the county highway garage on State Road 162.
Deputy Pierce conducted a traffic stop on the ’95’ Lincoln and was able to safely take Templin into custody.
During a search of Templin, Deputy Pierce found a 9mm Glock Pistol in his front pant waist band. A further search of the vehicle lead police to locate two other rifles, ammo, camping gear, food and a pet dog.
Perry County Sheriff Alan Malone had also been tracking Templins phone and arrived quickly to the traffic stop with other officers scene.
Templin was taken back to the Perry County Sheriff Department for further investigation while his Lincoln was towed by Uebelhors Wrecker and his dog was housed at the Dogwood Animal Clinic.

ROME/WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - All packets of pasta and rice sold in Italy will have to include labels of origin showing where the produce was grown, the government ruled on Thursday, in a move it said was aimed at protecting local farmers.
The agriculture and industry ministers signed a decree ordering the new labeling policy, saying it would run in an experimental fashion for two years, and criticizing the European Union for not introducing the measure across the 28-nation bloc.
"We are putting Italy in the vanguard of Europe when it comes to labeling as a competitive tool for the Italian (agriculture) sector," Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina said in a statement.
Canadian exporters and farmers fear the move will depress prices in Canada, the biggest global exporter of durum, the wheat used to make pasta. It would require Italian pasta makers to segregate supplies by country, adding to costs.
Annual Canadian sales to Italy are worth an estimated C$248 million ($197 million), based on average export volumes and International Grains Council price data.
The government decree said that pasta packaging must reveal where the wheat was grown and milled into semolina for pasta-making. Rice packaging will state where the rice was grown, treated and packaged.
Industry Minister Carlo Calenda said most Italian consumers wanted to know the origin of their food, adding that it was important to promote Italian farmers.
"We want to emphasize the importance of 'Made in Italy' and the quality of our production in order to compete with greater strength on international markets," he said in a statement.
The Canadian government is seeking clarification from Rome and assessing Italy's trade obligations under the World Trade Organization and free trade agreement between Canada and the European Union, a spokesman for Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay said. There is no indication that Italy's move has affected trade yet, he said.
Cam Dahl, president of Cereals Canada, whose members include Cargill Inc and Richardson International, said he expected Italy's labels to take effect early next year.
"That would unquestionably harm our exports," he said.
Italy is Canada's second-biggest durum export market so far in the 2016-17 crop marketing year as of May, importing 676,000 tonnes. The United States is also a significant durum producer.
Italy may be subject to infringement proceedings from the European Commission, a process aimed at member states which breach EU law, according to Dahl.
