Q: Get Firebase Error: No Firebase App '[DEFAULT]' has been created when using React-hooks-testing-library with jest I using Firebase auth in React, and I try to test it with react-hooks-testing-library. The code I write is working. But when I try to test with react-hooks-testing-library I get this error:

FirebaseError: Firebase: No Firebase App '[DEFAULT]' has been created
, call Firebase App.initializeApp() (app/no-app).

Here is my actual code:
useAuth.tsx
const defaultValue = {
     .. some value here
}

const AuthContext = createContext(defaultValue)

const AuthContextProvider = (props) => {
    const auth = useFirebaseAuth()

    return (
        <AuthContext.Provider
            value={auth}
        >
            {props.children}
        </AuthContext.Provider>
    );
}

const useAuth = () => {
    return useContext(AuthContext)
}

// I will like to test the function and behaviour inside this hooks, useFirebaseAuth() here
export default function useFirebaseAuth() {

    const [user, setUser] = useState(null)

    const loginWithEmailPassword = (email: string, password: string) => {

        const auth = getAuth() // the error point to this line!!!

        //this code I followed the Firebase docs
        return signInWithEmailAndPassword(auth, email, password)
            .then(res => {

            }).catch(error => {

            })
    }

    const signUpWithEmailPassword = () => {

    }

    return {
        user,
        loginWithEmailPassword,
        signUpWithEmailPassword
    }

}

export { useAuth, AuthContextProvider }

Inside this hook will have 3 item, which user, loginWithEmailPassword, signUpWithEmailPassword
Here is my test
useAuth.test.tsx
import React from 'react'
import { renderHook, act } from '@testing-library/react-hooks/native'
import useFirebaseAuth from '../useAuth';

// Here I tried to mock the auth function of Firebase
jest.mock('firebase/app', () => {
    return {
        App: () => ({
            app: mockGetApp
        }),
        auth: () => ({
            signInWithEmailAndPassword: mockSignIn,
            createUserWithEmailAndPassword: mockSignUp
        })
    }
})

const mockInitializeFirebase = jest.fn()
const mockSignUp = jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve())
const mockSignIn = jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve())
const mockGetApp = jest.fn()

jest.mock('../../utils/initAuth', () => {
    return {
        app: mockInitializeFirebase
    }
})

describe('useAuth Hooks testing', () => {

    test('Login with Email and Password', () => {
        const { result } = renderHook(() => useFirebaseAuth())

        console.log(result)

        //arrange it, confirm the initial state
        expect(result.current.user).toBe(null)
        expect(typeof result.current.loginWithEmailPassword).toBe('function')
        expect(typeof result.current.signUpWithEmailPassword).toBe('function')

        const email = 'abc@gmail.com'
        const password = '123456'
        // here act
        act(() => {
            // The problem come from this line
            result.current.loginWithEmailPassword(email, password)
        })
        // here assert
        expect(mockSignIn).toBeCalledWith(email, password)

    })
})

So when I fired the loginWithEmailPassword(email,password) function, it keep showing No Firebase App error. But in my project I already have this file, which is initialize the Firebase app already.
./initFirebase.tsx, here  already initialize the app, and called it in index.tsx
import { initializeApp, getApps, getApp } from "firebase/app";
import getEnvVars from '../environment'

const env = getEnvVars()

interface firebaseType {
    apiKey: string,
    authDomain: string,
    projectId: string,
    messagingSenderId: string
}

let firebaseConfig: firebaseType;

if (env !== null) {

    const { apiKey, authDomain, projectId, messagingSenderId } = env
    firebaseConfig = {
        apiKey: apiKey,
        authDomain: authDomain,
        projectId: projectId,
        messagingSenderId: messagingSenderId
    };
}

export const initFirebase = () => {
    if (getApps().length === 0) {
        initializeApp(firebaseConfig);
    } else {
        getApp()
    }
}

So the error is only happened in test, so I think I should mock the initializeApp function and call it somewhere in the test. But I dont know how to do that.
I just get started in testing field. Somebody that have experience please give some help.
Here is the question:

*

*What happened to my code and test that make the error occured?

*What should I do in order to solve this error?
Thank you in advance.

A: Solved this by mock it like this:
const mockSignUp = jest.fn(() => {
    return Promise.resolve({
        user: {
            uid: "fakeuid",
        },
    });
})
const mockSignIn = jest.fn(() => Promise.resolve({
    user: {
        uid: "fakeUid"
    }
}))

const mockGetAuth = jest.fn()

jest.mock('firebase/auth', () => {
    return {
        getAuth: () => mockGetAuth,
        signInWithEmailAndPassword: () => mockSignIn,
        createUserWithEmailAndPassword: () => mockSignUp
    }
})

Noted by this:
getAuth: ()=> mockGetAuth the 3 function there, this will mock as getAuth() in firebase to the mockGetAuth function I defined.
Then in test I can called the mock function like this:
// here check the mock function
mockSignIn(mockGetAuth, email, password)
expect(mockSignIn).toBeCalledWith(mockGetAuth, email, password)

I am supposed to be doing a sharing session this upcoming Thursday at the Idea Factory for the Secondlife Community meet.
To be honest, after hearing the discussion at the E27 unconference, and seeing participants with their scepticism and disbelief, I'm not very confident about talking this Thursday, in front of all the technophiles I saw on the attendance list. Especially with Cory Ondrejka, the Chief Technology Officer of Secondlife being there.
But I think that during these events, many people focus on the economics and technology segment. I believe that behind every mode of communication, there is a human element. So to prevent myself from mumbling incoherently during the event, I think I should give the topic just a little bit of thought.
Experiencing relationships in the metaverse. Or more specifically, Secondlife Relationships.
I believe that the feelings that experienced online, could affect a person in real life. These feelings does not necessarily have to be romantic feelings, it also includes the feelings that you get when you get to know the people online, whether it be from blogs, instant messages, virtual worlds or other alternative sites.
Some time back while I was in cybertown, a well loved resident passed away due to her illness. I remember the genuine feelings of grief. There was a eulogy and everyone remembered the good memories and happy moments that they had of her. The feelings of loss, the feelings of sadness, these are all real even if we do not meet these people in real life.
So why should Secondlife relationships be any different from real life relationships?
In Secondlife, I've seen how easily and quickly on how two individuals from a relationship with each other. I think that this is largely because people have the freedom to express themselves more. They fashion their avatars as how they wanted it to look and they control how they want themselves to portray. Moreover with the awareness that the metaverse is a platform as opposed to real life, people are less inhibited.
But as quickly as these relationships are formed, many of them are quick to dissolve too. A casual survey done in Secondlife shows that the average duration of a SL relationship lasts about a month.
Perhaps these relationships in the metaverse are seen as disposable. With over 4 million registered users in secondlife, there are always many other avatars that one can go to. Moreover, these residents can control their world as real as they want it to be, or to keep their relationships strictly online.
There has been stories of partners turning out not to be as what they describe to be – some are married, some even not being open about their actual gender. It's very difficult sometimes to differentiate the truth in the metaverse because of the lines of transparency here.
The dilemma begins when a partner believes the representation of an avatar to be exactly the same as it is in real life. If they are happy in-world, would it be considered cheating when they find the truth about their partners?
I think the most important element in online relationships is maturity. Each individual needs to trust each other and to be truthful about their situation and always remember that behind every avatar, is a real person.
At the same time, there are also many couples who traversed from online romance to real life romance. It isn't easy, and it may not be for everyone. But I believe that with trust, patience, faith and strong commitment to each other, the relationship will eventually work out in the end.
Thanks to Secondlife, there has been real life partnership and matrimonies. And that's a good thing. It shows that no matter how advanced technology is, there will always be a human element prevailing.
Falling in love is natural. And emotions are what makes us, human. The metaverse is thus another avenue where we can express, emote and relate.
I like exploring and socialising in secondlife. When I first started SL, I'm very impressed by the graphics, how it looked and how very intereactive the entire world was. Just coming from a VRML metaverse, it was very very different.
I was wondering if you were interested in exchanging links? If you are, please contact me on my blog.
You and CartCart featured very prominently with your AVs even! Singapore's first SL superstars, eh?
I'm going to laminate this article … hahahaha!!!
, So what if you are in a real life relationship, and the other half of the relationship is talking to girls, and saying things that should not be said. should that even be done? Shouldn't if you have a partner in real life, play the game with them and partner with them?
Behind every Av, and computer is a real person that may or may not take everything serious And to me if you are saying things that you should say to your other rl gf or bf, to me is wrong, because you are saying those things to rl people. I think if you play the game then you should keep you rl out of it, especially when you in a rl relationship.

CCC to sign mega Oman deal
Athens-based Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC) is preparing to sign the largest construction contract ever awarded in Oman.
The deal which is expected to be between $2.3bn-2.6bn covers the construction of the Omagine development to the north of Muscat, in which CCC is an investor.
To date, the largest construction contract awarded in Oman is the $1.8bn deal secured by US-based Bechtel, the local Bahwan Engineering and Turkey's Enka for the construction of the new passenger terminal at Muscat International airport.
The Omagine mixed-use project will be built on 1 million square metres of beachfront land 10 kilometres north of Muscat.
The construction contract signing will follow the signing of a development agreement with the government last year. "It took a few years to negotiate the development agreement with the Ministry of Tourism that is representing the Government of Oman, and 2 October this year we signed a development agreement with the government," says Sam Hamdan, President of Omagine.
The largest element of the project is the residential zone that will have 2,164 freehold properties, which will be a combination of apartments, townhouses and villas. The concept masterplan also includes hotels, a five-star hotel with 250 rooms and 30 suites, and one or two four-star hotels, each with 250 rooms and 30 suites. Rounding out the hospitality component of the development are 600 chalets: 300 with two rooms; 300 with one room; together with 724 serviced apartments.
There will also be more than 46,000 square metres of office space and more than 46,000 sq m of retail, together with restaurants, cafes and a cinema.
The Omagine project is being developed by a special purpose vehicle (SPV) known as Omagine. It has three primary shareholders, the Office of Royal Court Affairs holds 25 per cent, CCC holds 15 per cent, and the remaining 60 per cent is owned by US-based Omagine Inc.

For our first Dining With the Stars event for 2011, Bendigo Young Professionals Network in conjuction with Telstra County Wide is very proud to present Kelly Cartwright as our speaker.
Kelly's is a story of courage and inspiration, especially rare in one so young. At the age of 15, Kelly was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer and had to have her leg amputated above the knee for the best chance of survival. After learning how to walk all over again on a walking prosthesis, Kelly decided she wanted to learn how to run; she was then fitted for a carbon fibre running leg and started running competitively. In the August of 2005 Kelly tried out for and was accepted as a member of the Emerging Talent squad for Beijing or London. In July last year Kelly ran an A qualifier which allowed her to represent her country in Beijing. For Kelly, it was an experience of a lifetime and finishing 6th in the Final was also a great achievement. But that wasn't enough for Kelly! Since Beijing she has taken that extra step with her training and broke the World record in the 200m at the Afrafura games in 2009 and Australian Record for the 100m. A week of training for Kelly involves 3 to 4 track session, 3 gym session and a couple of pool sessions.
In August last year Kelly completed one of her toughest challenges yet when she became the first above knee amputee to successfully climb Mt Kilamanjaro. Kelly says it was one of the best experiences of her life as well as being the hardest both mentally and physically.


April is Oral Cancer Awareness Month, and Charlotte Dentistry® is helping its patients better understand this disease and treatment as part of the event.
Alcohol abuse has been identified as the second largest risk factor for oral cancer, behind tobacco. Alcohol can dehydrate the mouth, causing cell damage, and nutritional deficiencies that can come from heavy drinking may also lower the body's ability to utilize antioxidants to prevent cancerous cells from forming.
Alcohol abuse can also lead to cirrhosis of the liver. A symptom of this disease can be a change in mouth and throat tissues, and while researchers are still studying this phenomenon to see if there is a link with oral cancer, there seems to be evidence suggesting this.
When used in conjunction with tobacco (as it often is), alcohol can be an especially troublesome carcinogen. The dehydrating effect makes it easier for the carcinogens in tobacco to penetrate cell walls, enhancing their impact.
But even if you've used alcohol and tobacco to excess, you can still make changes. Eliminating tobacco, and eliminating or reducing alcohol intake can immediately reduce oral cancer risk.
In fact, within 10 years, you can reduce your risk of oral cancer to that of any other non-smoker or non-drinker. Something, certainly, to consider.

A rare vintage original large promotional negative of George Lazenby in his starring role as James Bond in the 1969 movie.
The black and white negative would have been likely used by National Screen Services to print the images that could be order via the Exhibitors Campaign Book for press and release promotion in 1969.
In very fine condition having been retained within it's original sleeve since issue.

Q: How to fix tableview from loading cells in the same row? I am setting up tableview programmatically, I am constructing a setting page with sections, but for some reason my cells loads on the same row, maybe there is something easy I am missing, I need help to fix this problem here is a snapshot for what I am getting.
My intent to create a static custom cells, I had initially structured custom cells to load without the dequeueReusableCell use, but it loaded the cells again on the same row, I tried using array of cells configure each row with switch cases and had the similar result, and I ended up going with very simple array of strings and configure cells within cellForRowAt but also it didn't work.
import UIKit
class SettingsVC: UIViewController, StoryboardCoordinator , UITableViewDataSource, UITableViewDelegate {
    //MARK: - Variables
    var tableView = UITableView()
    weak var coordinator: MainCoordinator?
    let settings = ["Password Lock", "Unlock With TouchID", "Access Your Location?"]
    //MARK: - TableView UI configuration
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int {
        return settings.count
    }
    func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int {
        return 1
    }
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell {
        let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: "cell", for: indexPath) as! SettingsRow
        cell.switchView.rowTitle.text = settings[indexPath.row]
        return cell
    }
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, estimatedHeightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
        return UITableView.automaticDimension
    }
    func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, heightForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGFloat {
        return UITableView.automaticDimension
    }
    override func viewDidLoad() {
        super.viewDidLoad()
        setup()
        tableView.delegate = self
        tableView.dataSource = self
        tableView.register(SettingsRow.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: "cell")

A Christmas tree is a decorated tree, usually an evergreen conifer such as spruce, pine, or fir or an artificial tree of similar appearance, associated with the celebration of Christmas. The modern Christmas tree was developed in medieval Livonia (present-day Estonia and Latvia) and early modern Germany, where Protestant Germans brought decorated trees into their homes.
Step 19: Set the Christmas tree card aside and lay the second print out, the backing card, on a flat surface. Take a ruler and line the edge of it up against the center fold line of the backing card and score down the center with your paper clip.
Firstly I just wanted to say a Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers. Hope you all have a wonderful time ^_^ I have had quite a few requests for Christmas pixel popup cards. There are three designs below if you fancy having a go at making some. I tried lots of designs out.
Hi! I'm Jessica Dayon (Instagram @jessicadayon) and I'm so excited be a first time chef in the Moda Bake Shop as part of the Countdown to Christmas. Today I am sharing a tutorial for my 6 inch Mod Christmas Tree block. I have been making these trees like crazy lately.

The fact of the matter is that stress is invariably an automatic companion of modern day living. Most medical studies show that stress is one of the top causes of a host of diseases and conditions ranging from hypertension to indigestion. Severe, constant incidence of stress can not only cause disease, it can also speed up the aging process.
Massage therapy is one of the best ways to relieve stress. Because massage therapy is holistic in nature, it can benefit overall wellbeing and also has the capability to tackle specific health issues faced.
For instance, a general relaxation massage, also called a Swedish massage, is done purely for the purpose of relaxation and overall sense of wellbeing. Whereas sports massages and medical massages are designed to tackle specific problems areas.
In technical terms, massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, and tendons to provide a boost to a persons sense of wellbeing and health. The benefits of massages are not restricted to athletes or people with conditions like lower back pain and arthritis. Rather, massages work marvelously well as a general therapy for fitness, health, and rejuvenation for people of all age groups and health conditions.
Massages have multiple beneficial effects. First and foremost, massages can provide relief for aches and pain. Be it a baby boomer after a day of tennis or a person after a hard days DIY job, nothing quite relieves your body aches like a massage.
Regular massages can help decrease anxiety levels and greatly improve the quality of your sleep. Massage therapy can also help you maintain high energy levels throughout the day and increase concentration levels. For those working long hours or jobs that are physically demanding, massage therapy can help bring down fatigue levels and help rejuvenate you.
Sports massages are massages geared to the needs of athletes. They focus specifically on those parts of the body which get overused in the course of athletic movements. Sports massages are most commonly used to aid athlete recovery after an event, promoting flexibility, improving endurance, reducing fatigue, and reducing the chance of injuries.
The most notable aspect of sport massages is that they are explicitly designed to help to decrease muscle soreness and improve your range of motion.
Medical massages are performed with the specific goal of improving conditions that have been diagnosed by a doctor. These are typically performed in facilities which are accredited for medical massages and in accordance with doctor advice.

Great post Holly. I had no idea Dan Walsh had written so many novels. Each mini-description is delicious.
Thanks Sheri. As you can see, I loved them!
How exciting for you to interview your favorite author. Thank you for introducing him to those of us who weren't aware of his books. Strangely enough, I'm writing a novel with a similar theme of family issues/dysfunction. Thank you also for the great tips for editing our work.
You're welcome Lori. Thanks for stopping by.
Great interview! Thanks for sharing it with us. The books have definitely grabbed my attention. I know I've seen his name thrown around before. I'll have to go check them out after such rave reviews.
Thanks Katie. I'm sure you'll enjoy Dans books. I did.
Thanks. I'm sure you'll enjoy the read. Thanks for stopping by.
My brother is in prison for something he only did half of. (Meaning he's guilty of a crime, but not what he was convicted of. He has 4.5 years still to go and has been in there for over two already.) When he looks at life passing him by, or has to spend visiting time disciplining his ten-year-old son, he feels very weak and powerless. The piece at the bottom will really speak to him, so I copied it into the letter I'm writing. If you get a chance, pray for him. Mark Ashcraft. And thank you for sharing!
Christina Berry Tarabochia On the Threshold JUST released!
Thank you for sharing! I wrote an email to both you and Dan so you would know how that last part will help a Christian brother who's feeling weak.
Great post, Holly! I really enjoyed Dan's Skype session with our chapter as well. Thanks for the interview and all the other juicy tidbits in your post.
Holly, so sorry for not reading these comments sooner. Thought I had it set to alert me, but it didn't happen. Got Christina's email (how I found out). Anyway, once again thanks for such a great blog post. And Christina…thanks for sharing about your brother. I can't imagine such a trial. Praying my words will encourage his heart. One thing that really blesses me is how many of Paul's most powerful words were penned when he was in chains, shut off from everyone. God's Spirit is still able to minister life to us and use us, regardless of how pointless our suffering may seem at times.
Christina, Amen to what Dan just said. Thanks for coming by again, Dan. Your books are a blessing to so many!

Linear particle depolarization ratio is presented for three case studies from the NASA Langley airborne High Spectral Resolution Lidar-2 (HSRL-2). Particle depolarization ratio from lidar is an indicator of non-spherical particles and is sensitive to the fraction of non-spherical particles and their size. The HSRL-2 instrument measures depolarization at three wavelengths: 355, 532, and 1064 nm. The three measurement cases presented here include two cases of dust-dominated aerosol and one case of smoke aerosol. These cases have partial analogs in earlier HSRL-1 depolarization measurements at 532 and 1064 nm and in literature, but the availability of three wavelengths gives additional insight into different scenarios for non-spherical particles in the atmosphere. A case of transported Saharan dust has a spectral dependence with a peak of 0.30 at 532 nm with smaller particle depolarization ratios of 0.27 and 0.25 at 1064 and 355 nm, respectively. A case of aerosol containing locally generated wind-blown North American dust has a maximum of 0.38 at 1064 nm, decreasing to 0.37 and 0.24 at 532 and 355 nm, respectively. The cause of the maximum at 1064 nm is inferred to be very large particles that have not settled out of the dust layer. The smoke layer has the opposite spectral dependence, with the peak of 0.24 at 355 nm, decreasing to 0.09 and 0.02 at 532 and 1064 nm, respectively. The depolarization in the smoke case may be explained by the presence of coated soot aggregates. We note that in these specific case studies, the linear particle depolarization ratio for smoke and dust-dominated aerosol are more similar at 355 nm than at 532 nm, having possible implications for using the particle depolarization ratio at a single wavelength for aerosol typing.

Midtown Centre: Nation's First Office Park For Sale
July 25, 2014 0 comments Print Article
Last year, Metro Jacksonville's Ennis Davis wrote about the history of the nation's first suburban office park, conceived and built here in Jacksonville. Today, Midtown Centre is on the market again, so we follow up on the park's current status.
Among higher profile historic sites in Jacksonville, a property that can go easily unnoticed is Midtown Centre, the nation's first suburban office park.
In the 1950's, the idea of building an office park in the suburbs seemed absurd, but not to Ira McKissick Koger (1912-2004), who had Midtown Centre constructed just off of Beach Blvd, away from the thriving hub of downtown.
Today, the office park spans 763,000 square feet with 31 buildings on its campus. Since the park has been around for so long and many new additions have found their way onto the grounds, Midtown Centre doesn't give the impression that it's been around since 1957. Occasionally, there are signs — the dated architectural styles of form-follows-function office buildings from previous decades stand next to the more modern structures. The building at 1914 Beachway Rd is an eccentric looking historic structure, a time capsule for the futuristic and occasionally odd designs from the 1960's. Once surrounded with glass windows that have been long since painted over, the building now sits unused. Two of the original buildings are still standing today at 4539 Beach Blvd and 4519 Beach Blvd.
According to the Director of Leasing, John Fish, there are around 160 tenants and the office park sits at 70% capacity. Some of the largest tenants include the call center management company GC Services, the Florida Department of Children and Families, and Juvenile Justice. Several of the tenants focus on child-based services. Fish said that a third of the tenants are federal, state, and local government, and about 10% of the tenants are non-profit. Although there are a number of empty buildings, occupancy has remained stable. "The key thing here is retention," Fish said, citing a close knit community that strives to keep the area safe and accommodating.
The community at Midtown Center is seeking to renovate and revitalize the area, including upgrading "existing features" of the buildings, adding crosswalks and sidewalks, and additional landscaping. Midtown Centre doesn't give much of an indication of its history or its location, so signs that more clearly mark the office park are part of the community's plan to improve the area.
In the midst of these plans, the owner of the office park, D Group Equities, has put Midtown Centre up for sale. When asked about the listing, executive vice president Desirée Dubón said that D Group's "priorities are pulling us in different directions," and that they are looking to "diversify location wise."
D Group Equities is based out of Puerto Rico. Dubón says that D Group Equities saw a "good opportunity to expand on what [the previous owner] started."

Allegations that a company fraudulently obtained two patents from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO), in order to monopolize the market for NAND flash memory, were not supported by evidence of fraud, the federal district court in Oakland, California, has concluded. The company's motion for summary judgment was therefore granted (Giuliano v. SanDisk Corp., April 29, 2016, Armstrong, S.).
NAND flash memory is a type of non-volatile Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory used in a range of final flash products, such as mobile phones, tablets, GPS, portable and home gaming systems, and personal computers. SanDisk Corp., the self-described "global leader in flash storage solutions," moved for summary judgment against Walker Process claims that it fraudulently obtained two patents (the '338 and '517 patents) from the PTO in order to monopolize the market for NAND flash memory. SanDisk moved for summary judgment.
Fraud, prior testimony. The plaintiffs claim that SanDisk falsely represented to the PTO during the '338 reexamination that SanDisk knew that latch 721 was a two-way latch, but nevertheless argued the exact opposite to the PTO. However, the plaintiffs mischaracterized the testimony on which they relied, the court found. Contrary to the plaintiffs' arguments, SanDisk's witnesses testified that: (1) in the context of the '338 patent, latch 721 is intended to represent a one-way latch to perform the permanent inhibit function; (2) that every latch is defined by the function it is intended to perform, and that such function cannot be determined exclusively from the graphical depiction of the latch in the patent; and (3) that it is improper to construe the '338 patent based on isolated language in the specification and that, upon construing the language of the patent as a whole, a person of ordinary skill in the art would understand that claim 27 teaches a one-way latch. There was consequently no misrepresentation of fact, the court concluded.
Fraud, prior art references. SanDisk also was accused of deliberately withholding prior art references during the reexamination of the '338 patent and prosecution of the '517 patent. In particular, the plaintiffs claim that other patents teach a "permanent inhibit" limitation, and that had those prior art references been presented to the PTO, it would have concluded that the permanent inhibit limitation disclosed in the disputed patents was not novel.
The plaintiffs, however, made no effort to construe any claims of the disputed patents, and further did not provide any explanation or analysis of the prior art references from which the court could ascertain whether they would have materially affected the PTO's conclusions. The mere fact that prior art references apparently included a program-inhibit feature, without more, is plainly insufficient to show that the PTO would have deemed the disputed patents invalid had those references been disclosed, the court found. Because the technology underlying the disputed patents was not easily understandable and was beyond the comprehension of an ordinary layperson, the court alternatively found that the absence of expert testimony to support plaintiffs' arguments was fatal to their claims. Lastly, the court determined that the plaintiffs failed to offer any evidence that SanDisk intended to deceive the PTO. Summary judgment was therefore granted against the Walker Process claim and remaining theories of antitrust liability.
The case is No. C 10-2787 SBA.

Q: Request headers bag is missing Authorization header in Symfony 2? I'm trying to implement a custom authentication provider in Symfony 2. I'm sending a test request using Fiddler and printing all headers server side; well, Authorization header is missing.
Am i doing something wrong?
GET /RESTfulBackend/web/index.php HTTP/1.1
Authorization: FID 44CF9590006BF252F707:jZNOcbfWmD/
Host: localhost
User-Agent: Fiddler
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: it-it,it;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3

Listener just prints the headers and quits:
class HMACListener implements ListenerInterface
{
    private $securityContext;

    private $authenticationManager;

    public function handle(GetResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $request = $event->getRequest();
        print_r($request->headers->all());
        die();
     }
}

Response is missing Authorization header:

Array
(
    [host] => Array
        (
            [0] => localhost
        )
    [user-agent] => Array
        (
            [0] => Fiddler
        )
    [accept] => Array
        (
            [0] => text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml
        )
    [accept-language] => Array
        (
            [0] => it-it,it;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
        )
)

A: Authorization header is used for http basic authentication which is discarded by apache if not in valid format. Try using another name.

A: You must add this code to a virtualhost tag
It will not work if you put it in a Directory tag.
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} ^(.*)
    RewriteRule .* - [e=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%1]

A: Another option that worked for Apache 2.4 when other options did not was to set the CGIPassAuth option in the relevant <Directory> context, like this:
CGIPassAuth On

According to the documentation, it is available since Apache 2.4.13.

A: Akambi's answer didn't work for me, but found this answer in the php website:
"Workaround for missing Authorization header under CGI/FastCGI Apache:
SetEnvIf Authorization .+ HTTP_AUTHORIZATION=$0

Now PHP should automatically declare $_SERVER[PHP_AUTH_*] variables if the client sends the Authorization header."
Thanks derkontrollfreak+9hy5l!

A: The verified solution worked for me at the time to get the Authorization header through. However, it generated an empty Authorization header when there was none in the incoming request. This is how I solved it:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .+
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

A: I had the same problem when writing a public API with custom Authorization header. To fix the HeaderBag I used a listener:
namespace My\Project\Frontend\EventListener;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\HeaderBag;

use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\GetResponseEvent;

/**
 * Listener for the REQUEST event. Patches the HeaderBag because the
 * "Authorization" header is not included in $_SERVER
 */
class AuthenticationHeaderListener
{
    /**
     * Handles REQUEST event
     *
     * @param GetResponseEvent $event the event
     */
    public function onKernelRequest(GetResponseEvent $event)
    {
        $this->fixAuthHeader($event->getRequest()->headers);
    }
    /**
     * PHP does not include HTTP_AUTHORIZATION in the $_SERVER array, so this header is missing.
     * We retrieve it from apache_request_headers()
     *
     * @param HeaderBag $headers
     */
    protected function fixAuthHeader(HeaderBag $headers)
    {
        if (!$headers->has('Authorization') && function_exists('apache_request_headers')) {
            $all = apache_request_headers();
            if (isset($all['Authorization'])) {
                $headers->set('Authorization', $all['Authorization']);
            }
        }
    }
}

and bound it to kernel.request in the service definition:
services:
  fix_authentication_header_listener:
    class: My\Project\Frontend\EventListener\AuthenticationHeaderListener
    tags:
      - { name: kernel.event_listener, event: kernel.request, method: onKernelRequest, priority: 255 }

A: Another solution is to change your PHP handler to run PHP as Apache Module instead of as CGI application.

A: We should authorise this header "Authorization" on the server side,
it's also simply done with nelmioCorsBundle

nelmio_cors:
    defaults:
        allow_credentials: false
        allow_origin: []
        allow_headers: []
        allow_methods: []
        expose_headers: []
        max_age: 0
        hosts: []
        origin_regex: false
        forced_allow_origin_value: ~
    paths:
        '^/api/':
            allow_origin: ['*']
            allow_headers: ['Authorization']

A: If you're using apache and you already have a header override set in your .htaccess file but you're still getting 401 errors
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Authorization} .+
RewriteRule ^ - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%0]

Then make sure you enable config overrides in your VirtualHost. Set the value to All for the AllowOverride parameter in the Directory tag
<VirtualHost *:80>
    ...
    <Directory /var/www/***>
        AllowOverride All
        ...
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

Don't forget to restart apache after making changes

MLB uniform maker switches to producing medical masks, gowns
Philadelphia Phillies' Bryce Harper runs to first during a spring training baseball game against the New York Yankees, Monday, March 9, 2020, in Clearwater, Fla. (AP Photo/Carlos Osorio)
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The Bryce Harper jersey that could have been worn this baseball season by the biggest Philadelphia Phillies fan is now a protective mask in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Fanatics, the company that manufactures uniforms for Major League Baseball, has suspended production on jerseys and is instead using the polyester mesh fabric to make masks and gowns for hospitals in Pennsylvania and nearby states.
New York Yankees and Phillies pinstripes were still in vogue on baseball's scheduled opening day — only stitched on the protective wear made by the apparel company.
Michael Rubin, the founder and executive chairman of Fanatics, was watching TV last week when he was struck by the idea to turn the 360,000-square foot facility in Easton, Pennsylvania, into a factory for the COVID-19 virus fight.
While Rubin considered how he could make it happen, St. Luke's Hospital in Bethlehem reached out to Fanatics late last week about the possibility of the company manufacturing masks. PennsylvaniaGov. Tom Wolf and Attorney General Josh Shapiro each contacted Rubin over the weekend and told Rubin the state was in "dire need" of more masks and gowns.
Fanatics developed a prototype that was approved by the state's emergency agency and by Tuesday the company halted production of all baseball jerseys.
Rubin, a limited ownership partner of the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers and NHL's New Jersey Devils, said he had the blessing of MLB commissioner Rob Manfred to stop producing jerseys.
"We've got a million yards of fabric that we make these baseball uniforms from, what would you think if we take that fabric and make masks and gowns," Rubin told The Associated Press. "He immediately said, 'Great. I want to do it immediately. The most important thing is we've got to help the heroes on the front line and baseball can help play a role in it.'"
So with Manfred's support, production on the $300 jerseys for Harper, Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts and the rest of baseball's brightest stars was stopped. The company makes the uniforms for MLB and Nike.
Fanatics stated fashioning masks and gowns on Tuesday and Rubin hoped to produce nearly 15,000 masks and gowns a day. Rubin, whose Reform Alliance lobbies for changes to state probation and parole laws, said the demand was for 95 percent masks. The production plant had been shut down as a nonessential business but about 100 workers have returned to work for Fanatics.
The company is making Level 1 masks, used for low-risk, nonsurgical procedures that are for single-use only.
Rubin said Wolf told Fanatics they would pay for the masks and gowns. Rubin, though, said he spoke to Manfred and Fanatics teamed with MLB to provide hospital uniforms at no cost to those in need in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York.
Rubin, who has a net worth of $2.3 billion according for Forbes, said it would cost Fanatics about $3 million to make the masks and gowns and the company would produce at least 1 million over the course of several months.
And if you are one of the few Phillies fans left who doesn't have a Harper jersey but want one?
"I think we've got them, but I'm not 100% sure," Rubin said with a laugh. "I know we can get a mask and a jersey made from one."
There was a bit of a dust-up this week when the Devils and 76ers did an about-face on cutting salaries for employees making more than $100,000. A day after announcing the temporary 20% pay cuts because of the economics effects of the coronavirus pandemic, the teams' co-owners rescinded them.
"As an organization, I don't believe we got right up front," Rubin said. "But I believe we got it right. I think people who know me, know I'm a transparent person. I believe when you get something wrong, you just kind of fix it. Ultimately, as an organization, we fixed it. I'm proud the organization came together and did the right thing by our employees. I think we'll be rewarded by our employees who will feel we did the right thing. We got to the right place."
But when it comes to Fanatics assisting in the coronavirus fight, Rubin added, "we're less worried about manufacturing jerseys and more worried about just saving lives."

Die Einsäulenpagode () oder auch "Ein-Pfahl-Pagode" genannt, ist eine der ältesten Pagoden in Hanoi. Sie ist wegen ihrer außergewöhnlichen Bauweise ein Wahrzeichen der Stadt. Ursprünglich 1049 von König Lý Thái Tông als 3 m langer Holztempel auf einem Baumstamm erbaut, steht die Rekonstruktion der Pagode heute auf einem Betonsockel, der aus dem künstlich angelegten See ragt.

Geschichte
Der Legende nach erschien dem kinderlosen König Lý Thái Tông im Traum die auf einer Lotusblüte sitzende Göttin der Barmherzigkeit, Quan Âm (auch Guanyin), und überreichte ihm einen Sohn. Als er kurze Zeit später tatsächlich Vater von Lý Nhật Tôn (späterer Herrschername Lý Thánh Tông) wurde, ließ er diese Pagode aus Dank in Form einer Lotusblüte erbauen. Nachdem sie mehrfach zerstört wurde, zuletzt von den Franzosen 1954, wurde der ursprüngliche Baumstamm, der durch Fäule nicht mehr gerettet werden konnte, durch eine Betonsäule ersetzt. Auf einem Betonpfeiler in der Mitte eines kleinen Sees ruht das Gebäude und ist über eine Treppe für die Gläubigen erreichbar.

Im Jahr 2014 wurde die Pagode restauriert und war während dieser Zeit nur bedingt zugänglich.

On Friday, my mother in law handed me a big box of chocolates and said, "I read your blog - happy Commonwealth Day!" How fabulous is that? You'll never hear any disparaging mother in law jokes from me, no siree.
According to my calendar, today is the "Journee internationale de la francophonie" (International Speakers of French Day). May I just take this opportunity to say that I speak French and that I'm pretty sure this event also involves a gift of chocolate. I don't have any proof of that at hand right now, but give me enough time and I'll find a link to speaking French and chocolate gifts.
On a totally unrelated subject, I am getting really bored with what I eat for breakfast. I usually have an egg with toast, or a bagel and cheese, or cereal, or once in a blue moon (usually when we've had overnight guests) we go all out and cooks us a full English breakfast. Any ideas for interesting and yummy things to eat for breakfast? I'm not a huge fan of sweet things first thing in the morning, so please, no mention of Pop Tarts or toaster struedel. Thanks.

Sugar Bowl Prediction: # 8 Ole Miss vs # 7 Baylor
The Sugar Bowl is one of the most intriguing games of the bowl season. No.7 Baylor (11-2) and No.8 Ole Miss (10-2) both come into the game with four-game winning streaks that included huge wins. For Baylor, it was the Big 12 title win over Oklahoma State, and for Ole Miss, it was a convincing win over Texas A&M.
Each team will look to approach the offseason as a hot schedule that will ensure a final Top 10 ranking and eventual pre-season Top 10 ranking in 2022.
Here are the predictions of the Irish Breakdown team.
BRYAN RISKELL, EDITOR
Prediction: Ole Miss 27, Baylor 17
Baylor have been a solid defensive team all season and the Rebels played much better defense throughout the final stretch, allowing just 17.8 points in their last four games, which included wins over Texas A&M, Mississippi. State and Liberty.
Ole Miss has been an explosive offense in the first five games of the season, but has averaged just 27.6 points in the last five games. Rebels were able to regain health during downtime and quarterback Matt Corral decided to play in the Sugar Bowl. That decision from Corral made me respect him a lot, and I see him come out on a high note, even against a defense like Baylor's.
The Bears are a fundamentally strong and physical football team, but I'm not sure if they have enough firepower to beat the Rebels. It'll be competitive throughout, but I expect Ole Miss to come out this one with a solid fourth quarter.
VINCE DEDARIO, FOOTBALL ANALYST
I think this one could be a really fun game to watch and I'm looking forward to it. I love what Baylor brings to the table on both sides of the ball, but I also LOVE watching Lane Kiffin's offense get to work. I think Kiffin's offense will be too much for the Baylor Bears in this one. The Ole Miss defense will also be a country heard as I think they will give some shortfields to the offense and in turn some easy scores.
RYAN ROBERTS, IB RECRUITMENT
Prediction: Baylor 45, Ole Miss 27
Ole Miss is one of the weirder double-digit winning teams I've seen. There are holes everywhere. Without a lot of high-quality analysis Baylor is just a better football team.

The Cabin is the first — and only — center for readers and writers in the heart of Southwest Idaho (and yes, we're housed in an actual cabin).
This actual cabin was constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corp in 1940 to honor the 50th anniversary of Idaho's statehood. It served as the offices for the State Forestry Department and the Soil Conservation Corp until 1990, at which point the building didn't do much besides deteriorate. The City of Boise acquired it in 1992.
By the mid-1990s, the city didn't seem to know what to do with the cabin, so it was slated for possible demolition. However, a group of local writers saw past the disaster and reimagined the building as a gathering place for Boise's readers and writers. They agreed to renovate and preserve the historical structure in exchange for a 30-year lease. In 1996, the Log Cabin Literary Center was born.
Over the past 22 years, The Cabin has experienced more than a name change. Writers as renowned as Anthony Doerr have led Summer Writing Camps. Cultural icons like Gloria Steinem, Michael Pollan, Cheryl Strayed, and David Sedaris have graced our local stages. The next generation of poets, writers, and free-thinkers have gotten their start in the comfort of their own classrooms thanks to Writers in the Schools. The Cabin has incubated all manner of experiences that ask all of us to think about the power of literature.
Now, The Cabin is the hub for the literary arts in the state of Idaho. We provoke discussions and challenging conversations, spread the joy and craft of reading and writing, and invest in the literary community with the hope of creating human connections through words. Our workshops, lectures, readings, camps, publications, and other activities forge community through the voices of all readers, writers, and learners.

Heather Locklear to Face New Charges for Allegedly Attacking Deputy and EMT
by Alberto Luperon | 5:12 pm, August 30th, 2018
Actress Heather Locklear is going to face new charges because she allegedly attacked a deputy and EMT back in June, according to TMZ. She has to deal with one misdemeanor count of interfering with a law enforcement officer, and two counts of misdemeanor battery.
Officers booked her in June for battery on an officer and emergency personnel. At the time, the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said she got into an argument with family and friends. Deputies tried to separate her, and she kicked one of them, authorities said. Then they wanted to medical clear her since she seemed intoxicated, but then she kicked an EMT, deputies said.
Her attorneys of record did not immediately respond to Law&Crime requests for comment Thursday afternoon.
The new charges are just another step in the actress' ongoing problems. A week before her arrest, she was allegedly hospitalized after allegedly threatening to kill herself. Authorities did not discuss the specifics of the call, but confirmed they did interact with a person who had medical trouble.
"At that location we contacted a person who had medical needs, and they were treated by the Ventura County Fire Department, and they were later transported to a local hospital," Capt. Garo Kuredjian told PEOPLE. "There was no criminal activity. The person was not arrested."
Back in February, Locklear was arrested for allegedly attacking a boyfriend and cops. The domestic violence charges were dropped in March, but other counts remain pending.
Ventura County criminal court records obtained by Law&Crime show that she faces four counts of battery upon an officer and emergency personnel, and one count of resisting, obstructing, and delay of a peach officer or EMT in connection to the February allegation. She is shown to have entered a not guilty plea in the first count of battery upon an officer.

Ritual Incorporated: An essay on Sascha Hughes-Caley's Negotiations with the Other Side by Roksana Filipowska

Ritual Incorporated: An essay on Sascha Hughes-Caley's Negotiations with the Other Side
by Roksana Filipowska
YES, AND (Goa), archival photograph and shaped frame, 38"x15"x2", 2016.
Since 1945, a monumental bronze sculpture of the hypnotist Abbé Faria punctuates the old Government Secretariat in Panaji, the Indian state of Goa. Known as a pioneer of the scientific study of hypnotism, Abbé Faria was a Catholic monk who grew up in Portuguese administered Goa during the 17th Century. He eventually moved to France, participated in the revolutionary battalions of 1795, and introduced the West to hypnotism in 1819.
Abbé Faria drew on traditional Yogic healing practices and Western enlightenment thinking to publish treatises on autosuggestion, lucid dreaming, and hypnotism's ability to guide another's thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Simultaneously hailed as an innovator of therapy and dismissed as a charlatan, Abbé Faria is commemorated in a sculpture depicting him performing hypnotism. He stands with outstretched arms, below him, a woman lies with eyes closed, her torso drawn upwards as though pulled by an invisible magnet. Here, hypnotism is a relational act between the figure of Faria and his patient, with the charged empty space between them.
A photograph of this sculpture opens Sascha Hughes-Caley's Negotiations with the Other Side, an exhibition on the distillation of ritual in western culture and moments of liberation within failed cultural belonging. Taken by the artist during a trip to India, the photograph is cropped to feature the cloudy sky surrounding the figures of Abbé Faria and the fallen woman. The sky appears flattened into a patch of color that both delineates and connects the figures—it is the chasm within which negotiation, or the attempt to think outside oneself and identify with another, can take place.
A keen observer of corporate culture, Hughes-Caley salvages images from branding tactics of profit-driven efficacy and restores their ability to bring distant geographic and cultural entities into conversation. One example is Hughes-Caley's selected frame for this series of photographs: a white hard-edged outline of yoga pants. The abstracted yoga pant appears an icon of erasures—a dilution of the yogic tradition into an industry of wellness and discrete self-actualization retreats that rejuvenate the vacationer for return to work.
Yet the interplay of the photograph and frame invites the viewer to inhabit the image despite how far removed its subject is, suggesting that bodies offer alternative ways of understanding and remembering culture. Seen as a whole, photograph and frame constitute a shape evoking the practice of yoga. Individual bodies become figures whose rooted feet, balanced body, and upward stretched fingers unite earth with sky. Hughes-Caley plays with the frame's function of demarcating the image and its connotation of yoga pants to transmute the photograph into an elastic surface that can be stretched and fit tightly—though perhaps still uncomfortably—around one's body. The image of Abbé Faria and the fallen woman recalls the traumatic and colonial origin of Western appropriation of Indian tradition. History remains the excess in the cut of the frame.
Blossoms, airbrushed acrylic and polypropylene on archival photograph, 17" x 20", 2016
Hughes-Caley explores the limits of compression further by airbrush painting directly on the glass of several exhibited photographs. Display glass, valued for its transparency and protective quality, is here employed as an active agent that the viewer must negotiate to access the image. In one work depicting the erotica section of a store in India, the airbrushed paint obstructs a photograph while also adding a colorful and glimmering texture. The paint enacts the censure of sexuality according to cultural norms, simultaneously offering sensual pleasures for prohibited desire.
still from Bow, found footage; audio collected by Rosetta's Plasma, Consortium (RPC) of Comet 67P/C-G, 01:28, 2016.
While Hughes-Caley's photographs and sculptures explore the compression of signifiers and desires, her video and performances slow down instances of western ritual and public shame to expose their cracks. Bow, for instance, features found footage of a wreath falling on the Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovich's head during a public ceremony in 2010. Hughes-Caley slowed the video down to reveal the president's gestures of shame—he involuntarily rubs his head and smiles meekly before regaining his composure. Though brief, these gestures interrupt the carefully orchestrated ceremony to disclose the farce in ritual displays of political power. Several recordings of the event are accessible on YouTube and each video has several thousand views—a measurement of pleasure in witnessing a head of a state show human flaw and embarrassment.
In S6 E20 of the Finale Series, a steady and deliberate close-up of a seated woman is accompanied by a monologue about self-love. Yet the relationship between the image and its soundtrack remain unclear: Whose monologue is it? Is it really the silent woman who "speaks" and owns its narrative? Who does it address? In its ubiquity, does it belong to everyone and no one at the same time? Hughes-Caley's displays a mastery of staging what Marc Augé termed the "non-place," or sites that hold an excess of information yet a lack particularity, such as international airports, highway rest stops, or supermarket chains. Rather than focusing on place, Hughes-Caley mines contemporary entertainment and self-help manuals to create a montage of non-image and non-music—the utterances and tropes that act as filler in 21st Century culture. In S8 E19, the brown marbled wall behind the woman evokes the stock background of school and work photo shoots; the bland, inoffensive and anonymous piano and guitar score, meanwhile, is plucked from the same genre as elevator music that loops indefinitely while one waits for the next available representative.
still from S8 E19, video, 2:51, 2015.
Navigating nondescript images and soundscapes of manufactured authenticity, Hughes-Caley's crafts characters that attempt to access lifestyles unattainable to them. There is the unemployed Shelly Newhall and the yoga teacher Shanti Paz—two fragile female figures who experience public shame in their search for career success, everyday survival, and human connection. Appearing across Hughes-Caley's photography, video, and performance, these characters manifest what Lauren Berlant calls "cruel optimism," a relational dynamic where individuals create attachment toward desired object-ideas even as they inhibit the possibilities for their attainment.
still from Interview #3: Shelly Newhall, video, 6:41, 2015.
With every job interview, Shelly gets one step closer to a job but farther away from her own happiness. She maintains the fantasy that being a productive member of western society results in self-acceptance, even as she entwines herself further in a culture that remains hostile towards her. In one video, Shelly recites her hirable skills as though reading from a script while her gestures betray her dissatisfaction with the spoken narrative. In observing the moments that these fantasies fray, the viewer catches glimpses of alternative ways of living in the present—vulnerable moments when one is liberated from the blind pursuit of success.
still from Shanti Paz on the True Self, video, 6:20, 2014.
In one performance as Shanti Paz, Hughes-Caley conducts a guided meditation that unravels into cacophonies of cries—she offers her listeners a catharsis more stressful than serene. In another work, Shanti travels to India in search of enlightenment, yet remains removed from her experience by staging trip highlights for her Instagram followers. Like the fallen woman undergoing Abbé Faria hypnotism, Shanti relinquishes her agency even as she pursues self-improvement. A feminist strain of tragicomedy runs throughout
Hughes-Caley's work and Negotiations with the Other Side appears to stage the following question: what if the fallen woman laughed? The resonance of this laugh could shatter the myth of authenticity, offering the ground for a new relational dynamic.
Roksana Filipowska (PhD candidate in History of Art, University of Pennsylvania) works at the intersection of art and science. Her dissertation, "Polymorphous Plasticity: artists' experiments in plastic as speculative thought, 1965-1975," analyzes emerging aesthetics of the Anthropocene and the relationship between theories of plasticity and the material properties of new synthetics at the end of the 1960s. She has co-curated the 2015 "Biocode: Performing Transgression after New Media" conference, co-organized Listening (to) Cyborgs, a media archaeology workshop on sound technologies, and is a current Doan Fellow at the Chemical Heritage Foundation in Philadelphia.

Expert Reviews for the Newest Albums
in Rock, Alternative, Hip-Hop, EDM, and More
The Dear Hunter – Migrant
by Nick Freed
Casey Crescenzo has recorded four full-length albums as The Dear Hunter (three of which are the first half in a planned six-part series), as well as a novel based on the albums' mythology. His latest album, Migrant, stands alone. It's Crescenzo's first time working outside of the structure of a concept album and while it reaches the grandiosity of his previous releases, the results are uneven.
Most of what's worthwhile in Migrant fades out halfway through the album. The build of opener "Bring You Down" has an imperceptible anxiety to it that sits right on top of your chest. It's never quite relieved until the first chorus of "Whisper", when Crescenzo screams, "I think that we've all made our gravest mistakes / On the greatest intentions that we're too stubborn to let go!" The cascading cymbals that follow form an unhindered scream, releasing tension to help the listener relax and enjoy the ride.
But from that point on, Migrant doesn't quite hold the summit. "Shame" features a change in tone with its bossa nova beat, and "An Escape" pops and explodes in all the right places. Then things stray into mimicry with "A Kiss of Life" riding a My Morning Jacket influence, and "Girl" tipping into Black Keys-style production and sound. After that, the songs laze into a self-indulgent largeness, too much instrumentation drowning out uninspired filler.
The Dear Hunter could have had an album of heart-slamming, vein-popping heft, but instead Migrant feels like two unattached EPs. The meandering, navel-gazing second half diminishes the succinct and undeniable power of the first.

Opening Prayer: New every morning is your love, great God of light, and all day long you are working for good in your world. Stir up in us the desire to serve you and to devote each day to your Son, or Savior Jesus. We praise you with joy, loving God, for your grace is better than life itself. Once again you have sustained us through the darkness and blessed us with life in this new day. Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days. In your tender compassion the morning sun has once again risen upon us, to shine on us in our darkness and to guide our feet into the paths of peace. For this and your many mercies, we give you thanks. Amen.
Journal: How has God's grace appeared in your life recently? How is it doing a work within you? How is he asking you to show grace to those in your life and world?

Maybe I'm the last one on earth who uses ReplayGain.exe 0.84, but if not, does anyone else experience the following error from replaygain.exe: Can't decode 'anyfile.mpc' ? Some incompatibility with mppenc 1.15v maybe ?
Another related question: in the meantime, I intended to use Foobar2000's integrated replaygain writer, but such files read by Winamp show 0db values. How come ?
DEATH mentioned to me that I should include a note on the download page that you need mppdec.exe to use replaygain.exe, but I forgot, and indeed now I'm paying . Note will be added in a few minutes.
About Winamp, we'll have to check that out.
Oh well :blush: How come I never noticed that before ? Thanks for the input.
Any help with using ReplayGain with Winamp?
Willpower is not a force - determination is simply being fully convinced of effective insights.
let me quote: "Musepack will need to update their plugin."
Perhaps they have made an API which allows plugin developers to pass the replaygain values to winamp's global replaygain control.
There is no intention by any Musepack developer to update the existing plugin, which is old and not even libmpcdec based.
You can feel free to quote me: Instead of forever ignoring the first format implementing proper, format built-in ReplayGain and ApeV2 (which was developed especially for it) support, after all these years Winamp should do a little work of their own and write their own libmpcdec based plugin, like the developers of 30+ other players who already have.
First of all, I'm not a Winamp developer or "fanboy" or sth. I just use it, because it's the only player that can do (almost) anything I want, out of the box. Yes, I tried foobar.
I didn't know that the current plugin isn't developed anymore, because there were some bugfix releases.
It's a relatively easy task for any dev wanting to get involved as the plugin would just be some code glue between winamp sdk and libmpcdec.
unfortunately, I don't have any programming knowledge. but it would becertainly cool to see this coming some day.
jang0: Winamp's developers like to make any possible excuse not to support something, except if it's very easy, like supporting unbased anti Musepack troll propaganda. Remember the senseless trouble they were giving people who merely requested MP4 support?
Don't worry, Winamp's developers most probably don't know how to use SVN, and neither do the other llamas. Feel free to look at our Trac/SVN and see just how dead it is.
Refer to Lefungus's post, and refer to the latest SV7.2 code which enables very fast, proper seeking. Expect a final release in several days.
Contrary to what they try to tell you, Musepack doesn't "need" Winamp, and neither do all the developers who either left, or got fired by AOL. That's just the typical Winamp reaction nowadays, they think people actually depend on them.
I realize you only want to further Musepack support, jang0, I point no complaint at you, and not at Winamp either, they can't help it.
Thread closed, further Winamp discussion belongs on Winamp's forums.
