![]() ![]() Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division Washington, DC 20540 USA. Chop Suey.” 2 Li Hung Chang never misses the Sunday Journal. At one cosmopolitan place in Shanghai he found a sign, “American style cooking. A traveler in the East made this discovery. But the truth remains, chop suey is not Chinese. There is all the mystery of the orient in its composition. Talk about chop suey is full of the fear that it is not “authentic.” As early as 1912, the San Francisco Call reported that chop sueyĭoes sound Chinese. 1 The humble dish played a key role in their success, yet “chop suey” became an insult, a put-down for things which are mixed together when somebody thinks they ought to be pure. Chang’s, there were more Chinese restaurants in the United States than McDonald’s, Burger Kings, and KFC outlets combined. By the end of the twentieth century, if you include franchise chains such as Panda Express and P.F. Chop suey rose from obscurity in the late nineteenth century to become one of America’s national dishes and one of the main ingredients in the spread of Chinese restaurants in North America during the years when Chinese families and entrepreneurs spread Chinese cookery outside China by adapting to new conditions and inventing new forms. The career of chop suey turns out to be a Cinderella story in reverse: chop suey is the ugly sister whose foot will not fit into the glass slipper.

The controller/controls don't seem to be working 100% as intended. However, I have issues when trying to use them in Oculus Link. The Touch controllers which came with my Quest 2 seem to work 100% fine when running native apps no latency issues, no dropouts, all controls working as intended afaik.

I also changed the GetScriptFileNames to leverage the file names stored in the web.config file rather than something passed via the querystring. Next, I removed the use of querystring parameters in favor of values passed into the constructor. First, I changed the class so it can handle both CSS and JavaScript files by adding the type parameter to the CacheResult constructor. I do however want to point out a few changes I made to his code. For completeness, I include the code below. This method uses the techniques mentioned in the beginning of the article by Khaled Atashbahar. The heavy lifting is completed by the ExecuteResult method within custom CacheResult class. It passes in the key name of the files to render, the version it should use as well as the type of content (CSS or JavaScript) it will be rendering. Here we see that our CacheContent method invokes a ControllerExtension method called RenderCacheResult. Return CacheControllerExtensions.RenderCacheResult(key, version, type) Public CacheResult CacheContent( string key, string version, string type) Return new CacheResult(keyname, version, type) ( string keyname, string version, string type) Public static CacheResult RenderCacheResult Public static class CacheControllerExtensions M圜ombiner.ProcessRequest(context.HttpContext) ( this._keyname, this._version, this._type) ScriptCombiner m圜ombiner = new ScriptCombiner Throw new ArgumentNullException( " context") Public override void ExecuteResult(ControllerContext context) ![]() If ( type.ToLower().Contains( " javascript") ) Public CacheResult( string keyname, string version, string type) Next, let’s take a look at our cache controller. = A name value to inform whether we are handling a CSS or JavaScript request. If we use JavaScriptInclude in our URL, we will combine all the JavaScript files in the value list. Here we see we have a key name for CSS and a key name for JavaScript. First in my master page, I place the following markup. To this end, let’s get right into the code and show how this works. When using a path to an HTTPHandler in my markup that was not registered with my IContollerFactory factory, DI, MVC and the HTTP handler were not playing nicely. In addition, I was using Structure Map dependency injection. I wanted to stay consistent with MVC pattern by leveraging my routes. I use a lot of the same techniques but the main difference is that I use a custom Controller and ActionResult rather than a HttpHandler to handle the minify/combine/render. The impetus for this article was based on the article by Khaled Atashbahar. In short, we can ensure our clients have the necessary upgraded JavaScript files in order execute new functionality and not the files stored in the browser's cache. This becomes increasingly important when using AJAX techniques within an application that introduce new features and functionality. Similarly, it will show how we can force a client side refresh of the same CSS and JavaScript files (meaning we don't have to change our file names). The goal was to improve overall performance on the client side. More specifically it will show how to deliver compressed, minified, combined and cached CSS / JavaScript files in the context of an ASP.NET MVC application. This article will present a technique for delivering CSS and JavaScript files to a client within an ASP.NET MVC application. ![]() ![]() ![]() Haffner also included a provision which would prevent signature gatherers from being paid on a signature-by-signature basis, as he argued this could incentivize fraud.ĭeputy Secretary of State Trish Vincent spoke in support of the bill, which she said her office helped draft and which she said would create efficiencies for the secretary of state. “We believe it imposes unnecessary, and in many cases, superfluous regulations of initiative petitions that are simply intended to draw out the process and make it harder,” she said. Most successful campaigns are so costly because they require campaigns to hire signature-gathering firms, which can employ people from anywhere in the country.ĭenise Lieberman, director and general counsel for the Missouri Voter Protection Coalition, said the residency requirement was unconstitutional. “This would ensure Missourians are in control of our Missouri constitution,” Haffner said. His bill would add a residency requirement for those paid to be signature gatherers, meaning only Missouri residents, or those who have lived in the state for at least 30 days, could participate. Haffner wants to keep non-Missourians out of the signature gathering process. Residency requirements, more power to state officials In 2023, voters in Ohio rejected a GOP push to make the initiative petition process harder by 13 percentage points. ![]() Plus, Licklider added, most attempts to make initiative petition processes more difficult in other states have failed. He said hiring signature collectors, who often come from out of state, is difficult because the job is often underpaid and “a miserable existence.” “It is horribly expensive and complicated as the dickens to pass an initiative petition.” said Licklider, whose organization pursued successful ballot campaigns in 20. His organization has vowed to spend big to defeat any initiative petition changes Republicans place on the 2024 ballot. Sam Licklider, a lobbyist with Missouri Realtors, opposed all three pieces of legislation. The path to successfully landing an initiative on the ballot usually costs millions of dollars and months of litigation Missouri law requires petitioners hoping to amend the state constitution to collect more than 171,000 signatures from registered voters in six of Missouri’s eight congressional districts by May. Missouri’s ballot initiative process – which gives citizens a pathway to amending the state constitution – is already grueling, those familiar with the process testified Tuesday. Mike Haffner, a Republican from Pleasant Hill, re-filed legislation he put forward last year that would invalidate signatures on a petition if the ballot language changes. “To change the constitution of the state of Missouri, there should be broad support statewide, and I would submit broad geographic support,” Lewis told his colleagues during a hearing in the house’s elections and elected officials committee. Ed Lewis of Moberly put forth two bills looking to require any amendments to the state constitution receive a majority of votes statewide and in a majority of the state’s congressional districts.Ĭurrently, a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot through the initiative petition process only requires 51% to pass. ![]() One of the campaigns has already reported raising $2 million to bankroll its efforts, amplifying the sense of GOP urgency to get changes to the process done before any abortion amendment goes to voters. Hanging over the proceedings, though hardly discussed on Tuesday, were a pair of initiative petition campaigns seeking to put an amendment on the statewide ballot rolling back Missouri near-total ban on abortion. ![]() Republican lawmakers’ latest attempt to change Missouri’s century-old initiative petition process was met with widespread opposition Tuesday. ![]() ![]() ![]() For example, if you’re applying to Harvard and have a 1200 SAT® score, it’s unlikely you’ll get in since Harvard’s average score is typically over 1500.
