In the Name of God, Amen
I, Matthew Martin of Wivenhoe in the County of Essex, Esquire, being in good health of Body and of Sound and disposing Mind and Memory, for which I bless Almighty God, do this Twenty third Day of May in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and forty eight, make this my last Will and Testament in manner following.

Seventy-six years in and Paul McCartney could be forgiven if he decided to hang up his bass and coast the final few miles along the long and winding road. Happily, such a concept appears to be alien to him. Egypt Station is his 17th solo release; apparently the well is far from dry, and there's still plenty of songs left in him. While some of his contemporaries are making a fast buck off a greatest hits tour, a farewell romp or enjoying their retirement, McCartney's drive to continually release new music can only be commended.
Egypt Station finds him moving forward; songs that cast a backwards glance do so in an effort to make sense of it all. I Don't Know opens with the line "I got crows at my window, dogs at my door… what am I doing wrong?", and it's the voice of a man who knows that he's closer to the end than the beginning. But there's a resolve here; he's still got lessons to learn and there's still time to get things right.
Confidante, a song apparently written about a guitar that until recently went unused for a long period, could be also be read as him talking about his relationship with his former bandmate John Lennon. It sees him addressing the past with stark honesty. It's probably no coincidence that People Want Peace, a Macca spin on Give Peace A Chance, follows it.
And there's life in the old dog yet. Come On To Me, the ubiquitous radio hit, wears a smile on its face and presumably in its trousers. It's a typical McCartney feel-good stomper that proves that libido doesn't disappear the moment the bus pass arrives. In a similar vein is Fuh You, a song written in collaboration with pop's current golden boy Ryan Tedder (Taylor Swift, Beyoncé). Considering that two of pop's sharpest minds were involved, it's probably one of the album's weakest moments. Despite McCartney's way with a melody (it's definitely an earworm), this is pop by numbers – the roots are most definitely showing.
That slight misstep aside, McCartney is keen to embrace the here and now. Working with Rhianna and Kanye West on FourFiveSeconds not so long ago, bringing in Tedder and working with producer Greg Kurstin (Chvrches, Sia, Kylie Minogue) are less the actions of a man desperate to appear current than those of someone who stays connected.
There's evidence of this in a number of Egypt Station's stronger songs. Back In Brazil proves the point of McCartney's magpie-like opportunism, and talks about embracing and being influenced by other cultures. Who Cares was inspired by the supportive relationship that Taylor Swift has with her fans and addresses cyber-bullying. It's a fairly straight-up rock number, introduced with a squall of feedback, but the message holds firm: "Who cares about you – I do". Yes it's a bit syrupy, but then, there's always been a bit of the sweet stuff coating his songs. Despite Repeated Warnings might be an exception to that however, as it takes on Donald Trump and the threat of climate change without a spoonful of sugar in sight.
Despite tackling some of the big issues of the day, McCartney at his most reflective and personal is when he's at his best. Happy With You is a love letter to his life right now. Looking back over getting stoned and drinking too much, he borrows from Mother Nature's Son, and embraces the ageing process, finding love and enjoying making the most of life. It's a theme that carries over into the most Beatles moment on the album, Do It Now, a song that takes his father's advice to get on with living life and seize the day. Thankfully, McCartney appears to be grasping the nettle and squeezing the most out of life and his apparently never-ending songbook. A definite thumbs up.

Q: Kotlin jetpack compose, Divider before my first item with LazyColumn and Surface i'am new to jetpack compose and i really liked it. But ran into a problem :
I want to create a card and inside of it, i would like to display a list of item with divider between them. I was almost able to achieved it :

And here is my code :
Box(modifier = Modifier.background(Color(0xFFf4f4f4))
    .fillMaxSize()
    .padding(top = 20.dp)) {
    Card(
        modifier = Modifier
            .fillMaxWidth(),
        shape = RoundedCornerShape(20.dp),
        elevation = 5.dp
    ) {
        val colorNamesList = listOf("Red", "Green", "Blue", "Indigo")
        LazyColumn() {
            itemsIndexed(colorNamesList) { index, item ->
                Surface(modifier = Modifier.clickable { println(item) }, color = Color(0xFFf2f2f2)) {
                    println(item + index)
                    Text("Item at  $item", modifier = Modifier.height(50.dp).align(Alignment.Center).padding(top = 15.dp), color = Color.Black)
                        Divider(color = Color.Black.copy(alpha = 0.2f), modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 80.dp))
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

The problem is that i dont know why but i got a divider on the top of my card before my first item, i searched a lot and tried few things but i couldn't find how to remove it.

A: Changed Surface to Column and added a condition to show Divider only in between items.

Company NewsIndustry NewsDecember 30, 2022by Patrick Hindert2022 The Structured Settlement Year in Review
To paraphrase humor columnist Dave Barry, the best thing one can say about the structured settlement market in 2022, it could have been worse.
2022 Structured Settlement Premium Production
Total 2022 structured settlement production during the first three calendar quarters was $3.95 billion which exceeded the 2021 total of $3.08 billion for the same period by approximately $870 million. Using a fourth quarter production ratio comparable to 2021, estimated full year 2022 structured settlement premium might reach, or even exceed, $5.44 billion – which would approximate the average annual structured settlement premium for the years 2007 to 2021.
These results cheered some industry leaders. When the National Structured Settlement Trade Association (NSSTA) hosted its virtual Fall Conference on November 3-4, 2022, the message was positive and optimistic: "Structured Settlements are Cool Again! Production is up, interest rates are up and courts are finally open."
Is the Glass Half Empty of Half Full?
Following multiple years of historically low interest rates, COVID court lock downs and depressed premium production, perhaps these anticipated 2022 results indeed are worthy of celebration.
Despite signs of innovation and growth during 2022, however, other developments occurred during 2022 raising questions about the potential for sustained future industry growth.
This article highlights some 2022 structured settlement industry developments (both positive and negative) and, for comparison, also sets forth reasons Independent Life was able to continue its success during the past 12 months. The article also questions two basic assumptions about how the industry will generate future premium growth and suggests an alternative mindset for achieving future success.
Structured Settlement Industry Developments
In-Person Conferences – Both the National Structured Settlement Trade Association (NSSTA ) and the American Association of Settlement Consultants (AASC ) hosted in-person conferences after COVID-related year-long interruptions. Each association supplemented their in-person conferences with virtual conferences and/or webinars. The quality and quantity of available structured settlement education continued to improve during 2022.
NSSTA CSSC Program – Following a 25-year affiliation with the University of Notre Dame, NSSTA launched a new Certified Structured Settlement Consultant (CSSC ) Program hosted in Austin, Texas in partnership with the University of Texas. The program included pre-session webinars taught by industry leaders as well as classes by Texas professors and 500 pages of course materials. 48 students participated.
Women Leaders – The Women's leadership organizations of both NSSTA (Women's Caucus ) and AASC (Alliance for Women) have generated energy, ideas, mentorship and leadership within their respective associations. As one result, "diversity" has become an increasingly important educational theme and value within the structured settlement industry.
New Products – Several new products were introduced into the structured settlement market during 2022 including both structured settlement funding products and technology products. Independent Life introduced one of each with additional innovations planned for 2023. This year, we launched iStructure , the first uncapped index-linked structured settlement annuity for which we have already received over $120 million of annuity premium. To enhance and support iStructure, as well as our traditional fixed structured settlement annuity product, Independent Life also introduced Mosaic, our new state-of-the art administrative and quoting system.
NPRM Withdrawal – On October 13, 2022, CMS withdrew a proposed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking [NPRM] which would have clarified "existing Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) obligations associated with future medical items related to liability insurance (including self-insurance), no fault insurance, and workers' compensation settlements, judgments, awards, or other payments." This four-part Independent Life series – discusses the risks and opportunities for structured settlements presented by MSAs including increasing industry reliance on WCMSAs.
Gallardo v. Marstiller – In this 2022 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court held "[t]he Medicaid Act permits a state to seek reimbursement from settlement payments allocated for future medical care." The ruling extends the Court's 2006 Ahlborn decision. Although its consequences for plaintiffs and structured settlements are not yet certain, the case could encourage states to enact laws allowing state Medicaid reimbursement from settlements of future medical costs that never actually occur. This case and the NPRM withdrawal both emphasize why government benefit knowledge has become increasingly important for structured settlement and settlement planning professionals.
IRS GLAM – Earlier this month, the IRS released a copy of a "General Legal Advice Memorandum" ("GLAM"), an internal IRS document, attacking structured legal fee arrangements. Since the Childs case was decided in 1994, structured legal fees have offered contingent fee attorneys a method to defer their fees and related income tax liability. Structured legal fees have also represented an important submarket for structured settlements. Although not a statement of law, and perhaps a misinterpretation of the law, the GLAM suggests the IRS may attack deferred attorney fees arguing: 1) Childs was wrongly decided; and 2) the independent contractor exception to IRC 409A does not apply.
Factoring – Factoring is not a new development, but it continues to negatively impact the primary structured settlement market. Having devoted enormous resources to achieve a proposed legislative solution that has not solved the problem – enactment of IRC Section 5891 and state structured settlement protection acts – NSSTA's new supplemental solution focuses on educating judges. This Independent Life article – summarizes why neither strategy has worked and identifies alternative strategies including Independent Life's Payee Protection Policy.
MICRA Amendment – Thanks primarily to the efforts of attorney Nick Rowley, California in 2022 amended its Medical Injury Compensation Reform Act (MICRA) including portions of MICRA's periodic payment of judgments act. Since first enacted in 1975, MICRA had been controversial as unfair to medical malpractice victims. MICRA featured the first periodic payment of judgment statute in the U.S. The most significant 2022 amendments impact non-economic damages and attorney fees. However, the MICRA amendments also increase from $50,000 to $250,000 the minimum judgment required to request periodic payments.
Founded in 2018, Independent Life has been the only structured settlement annuity provider to increase its premium production every year for the past four years including the first 9 months of 2022. Although final year results have not yet been tabulated, 2022 will be Independent Life's best year ever by far.
How have we achieved this accomplishment? How is Independent Life different from other structured settlement annuity providers? How have we successfully competed against eight other life insurance companies who are not only larger and nationally recognized but have been in the structured settlement market longer than us?
Our strategy is simple, powerful and potentially transformative for the entire structured settlement market.
Independent Life began its history as the only annuity provider that specialized exclusively in structured settlements. In this unique and competitive market, we have provided our agents and their customers with deep expertise, unparalleled access, market-leading underwriting and consistently competitive pricing, plus turnaround times for cases that have redefined industry standards.
Second, Independent Life continuously improves and innovates. Past innovations have included Settlement Nation, a top rated plaintiff attorney podcast, our Payee Protection Policy and a Duration Compensation Model. To enhance and support iStructure, we also introduced Mosaic, our new state-of-the art administrative and quoting system.
Third, we are plaintiff focused. In collaboration with settlement professionals, we want to achieve the best outcome for the plaintiff, given the constraints of the overall settlement. We are not anti-defense. In fact, our more effective solutions can produce lower settlement costs for the defense.
Our unique business model and strategy, our continuous growth and our financial strength have allowed Independent Life to attract world-class partners like LKCM Headwater Investments, KKR's Kilter Finance and Hannover Re USA. As a result, we also anticipate additional innovations plus new product features, market applications and premium growth during 2023 and beyond.
Industry Growth Strategies
What about rest of the structured settlement industry? Within the existing legislative and regulatory framework, what are the strategies for achieving sustained growth of structured settlement annuity premium? Here we will discuss two prominent industry strategies – and challenge the industry to identify alternatives.
Higher Interest Rates – Rising tides are said to lift all boats. Many structured settlement professionals assume (or hope) recent interest rate increases will continue and the "rising tide" analogy will hold true for interest rates and structured settlements. Indeed, interest rates have increased during the past 12 months. The average 30-year Treasury Bond Yield during 2021 was 2.06% compared with 3.10% for 2022 (thru December 28). And this yield increase, in fact, may explain some of the recent structured settlement annuity premium increase during the same period. Do interest rates, however, really represent a dependable gauge and passive strategy for the future?
Consider the following structured settlement premium numbers matched with the average 30-year Treasury Bond Yield for the same year. For the 14-year period from 2008 thru 2021, the directional change in annual premium (increase or decrease) matched the directional change of the interest rate seven (7) times and moved in the opposite direction seven (7) times:
Three conclusions seem apparent: 1) Predicting future interest rates is a fool's game; 2) historically, structured settlement premium annual directional increases and decreases do not regularly match similar directional changes in interest rates; 3) anticipating that higher interest rates will increase structured settlement premium does not represent a dependable growth strategy.
Medicare Set-Aside (MSA) Arrangements
As detailed in Independent Life's recent four-part MSA series, an estimated 49% of current structured settlement cases now represent workers' compensation (WC) MSAs. The premium generated by WCMSAs may approximate only 14% of total annual structured settlement annuity premium.
Regardless of premium amount, the WCMSA submarket has become both a strategic imperative and a strategic risk for defense brokers who write the large majority of these cases.
WCMSAs represent a strategic imperative because they represent the only type of structured settlement where brokers can still demonstrate a predictable (almost certain) cost savings to defendants – as much as 30% on average compared to lump sum funding according to some structured settlement MSA experts.
The primary basis for this WCMSA structured settlement cost savings results from the CMS present value methodology which provides an inherent cost advantage versus lump sum because annuities incorporate their own discount rate.
However, unlike the legislative structured settlement tax exclusions incorporated into IRC Sections 104(a)(1) and (2), the significant submarket defining WCMSA structured settlement cost advantage depends upon CMS internal policy. It could disappear at any time. In fact, the basis for this cost advantage is no longer available in writing.
Therefore, when CMS withdrew the proposed Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) on October 13, 2022, the result potentially represented a double loss to the structured settlement market. As discussed in this prior article , the proposed NPRM might have permanently defined an inherent structured settlement funding advantage not only for WCMSAs but also for liability MSAs, a market many industry experts believe could be at least as large as the WCMSA market.
Although NSSTA, AASC and the National MSP Network (MSPN) each recognize structured settlement funding of MSAs as an educational and lobbying priority, industry cooperation now seems imperative.
During 2022, structured settlement annuity premium has increased somewhat but has not caught up with industry optimism – which itself may not be justified by existing industry strategies designed to generate sustained growth in the context of current industry challenges.
These challenges, as well as existing opportunities, need to be more fully and openly discussed so that better solutions can be identified and selectively implemented. New business models, products and market opportunities do exist, as Independent Life continues to demonstrate. Ignoring and/or rejecting new ideas, or new ways to do business, however, is not a formula for future innovation and growth.
Why has success, at least success defined by sustained annuity premium growth, continued to elude the structured settlement industry since 2001? Something must be wrong and needs to change for the industry's success profile to change.
This earlier Independent Life article suggested that success may depend, at least in part, on mental mindsets (individual and collective) and contrasted the metaphorical mindsets of "soldiers" and "scouts."
Unlike soldiers, who defend their beliefs against perceived threats, with a scout mindset, there is no such thing as a "threat" to beliefs. This means an individual or group is always open to changing their mind in response to new information or new ideas.
The structured settlement world has changed dramatically since 2001. Consider the possibility that some individual, or even collective, mental maps of structured settlements, which may have been accurate in 2001, are no longer accurate or helpful to achieving industry growth.
With that possibility, and over 20 years without sustained industry growth, consider, as we look forward to 2023: is the structured settlement industry dominated by "soldiers" or "scouts"? Does the structured settlement industry really understand or "see things as they are" in its own market? Is the industry capable of changing its mind in response to new information or new ideas? How else would you explain more than 20 years without sustained industry growth?

very prompt and easy to talk to. there were two other boosters before him but i think he did better than the first two. will absolutely order again and refer.
He was a great booster, always played well and didn't tilt. Gave my some advice during certain games on what I should do. Even skyped with me to help make games easier.
Booster is great. Very friendly and helpful when possible. Boost took longer than expected due to holidays but overall good experience. Recommend him for future boosts and coaching.
Fast and consistent performing booster. Fastest service I've received, while also being the highest rating service I've received. Much recommended.
Probably one of the best boosters on here...quick work and friendly!

I was listening to Tech News Today from December 11, 2015. One of the topics they covered was fitness tech. As I had just included some of those in my recent blog post, I was interested to hear what they had to say. The major point I came away with was, they're not going to do any good, if you don't use them. So, I think it's worth spending a few minutes looking at what might motivate you or a potential fitness tracker as gift recipient to actually use any given tech device to set and meet exercise/fitness goals. This seems important as Americans as a whole seem to be becoming more sedentary and more prone to subsequent health issues. How do we get and stay moving?
What would it take for you to add a fitness tracker or other device to your life on a daily basis?
Comfort? Some of the guests on Tech News Today complained about the first version of the Microsoft Band feeling like a shackle. That's probably not going to be something you're going to want to wear on a regular basis.
Where do you want to wear it? Clip on? Wrist band? Clip ons can be difficult for women who wear a lot of dresses. Where do you clip it? If you clip it on the waist band of jeans, it can fall off. But some people don't like things on their wrists or they work at jobs where a wrist band could get in the way.
If you are considering a wrist band, does it work with what you're wearing? That's a nice thing about smart watches with interchangeable watch bands or fitness trackers that can fit into different bands.
What kind of information do you want from the device? Just an idea of progress toward your goal? Do you want additional functionality? Heart rate? Time? Notifications? The more info you want or need, the more you're headed into smart watch functionality. Basics can be handled by fitness trackers.
Do you set your own goals and stick to them? Are you self motivated?
Do you like awards or celebrations for meeting your goals? One of the things I really liked about Nike Fuel Band was the multi colored lights that would dance across the black band when I reached my goal. I also liked the little guy on the app who would cheer me. Fitness Tracker on Apple Watch gives you awards for meeting your weekly goals. These little motivators are enough to get me to go a little bit further than I would otherwise.
Do you do better with social motivation? Fitbit has a lot of users so it's generally pretty easy to put together a group where you can track each other's progress. That can be useful whether you're competitive by nature or just like to know there are others working out too.
Do you use a fitness tracker? If so, which one(s)? What do you like and/or dislike? Any thoughts or recommendations for someone looking to get started or try something different?
Okay, it's December. Time for our annual roundup of tech gadgets. I'm only highlighting the ones that I find particularly interesting. There are countless other options. You can find many of these in the review and best of links I've included.
The Apple iOS vs. Google Android war continues. Some people have changed sides this past year. The Blackberry and Windows competitors have faded even more from the scene.
The latest iPhones are the 6s (starts at $649 for 16 GB) and 6s Plus ($749 for 16 GB). Yes, they come with new features. What was particularly interesting to me this year was Apple's upgrade program and attempt to distance the hardware from the carriers by offering financing directly from Apple. The prices quoted above do not require contracts with mobile carriers.You can get good deals on the previous year's models the 6 and 6 Plus.
While Samsung, LG, HTC and others continue to put out models of Android phones, this is the year when some of the most interesting models were not available in stores or from carriers. A number of these phones have customizable cases. These are all prices for unlocked phones that do not require contracts with carriers.
OnePlus 2 ($389 for 64 GB) may not be the flagship killer it touts itself as but it is a nice piece of hardware at a reasonable price.
Google Nexus 6p (starts at $499 for 32 GB) 6 inch phone made by Huawei. The only negative I've heard is the battery life does not measure up against iPhone 6s Plus. Other than that, it has great specs.
2015 was the year of the Apple watch but there were also new models and updates in Android wear and fitness bands.
Apple Watch comes in three basic flavors - Watch Sport, Watch and Watch Edition. It starts at $349 for the Sport and can go as high as $12,000. It's a watch, fitness band, notification center and can even allow you to send and receive calls and texts. You need to have an iPhone to pair with it.
Google Store seems to have a nice assortment of Android Wear. As is often the case in the Android world, I find the breadth of choices somewhat overwhelming so I couldn't presume to pick which would be the best option. Most are round which many people find preferable to square. It's hard to tell just how bulky they are from photos. I did notice that Moto G has a model for women. The nice thing about Android is that apart from hardware differences, if they're running Android wear, the software and apps should be similar across devices. These also need to be paired with a smart phone running Android 4.3 or higher but can perform many of their functions on wifi. I was interested to see that some will apparently work with iPhones as well. There is a website you can go to on your smart phone (Android or iPhone) to check and see if it's compatible with Android Wear - g.co/WearCheck. Reportedly my iPhone 6 Plus will work with a number of Android Wear watches.
Fitbit now makes a wide range of devices ranging in price from $59.95 for a wireless activity tracker to $249.95 for a fitness super watch. They connect to mobile apps that run on Apple iOS, Android and Windows Phone as well as a Dashboard that runs on Windows and Mac OS.
I had a Fitbit Force that I had to give up because it gave me a horrible rash. There are reports of similar problems with the Charge and Surge. But I used a Flex for quite some time with no ill effects. My only complaint was that the device itself offered very little information on steps or distance progress. It needs to sync with a smart phone or computer for data. Once I got the Apple Watch, it was no longer needed. But I think it can be an inexpensive way to motivate one to exercise.
Jawbone UP is the other major fitness tracker. It ranges in price from $49.99 to $129.99. The bracelets are fairly attractive. You can see the UP2 on the left. The higher priced ones include heart rate monitoring and one even pairs with Amex for payments.UP pairs with a number of different apps you can run on your Android or iOS smart phone.
Apple iPads - Apple came out with a new iPad model this fall the iPad Pro, a 12 inch tablet that starts at $799 for 32 GB. Like the name, this is arguably meant for professionals - for artists who will enjoy the new Apple pencil at $99, those who will use it as a laptop replacement with keyboard at $169. You're easily looking at $1000. For that price you can get a Macbook.
The iPad Air wasn't updated this year. The current iPad Air 2 starts at $499 for 16 GB. You'll want more memory than that. The iPad Mini was updated. iPad Mini 4 starts at $399 for 16 GB. You can get the earlier iPad Air at that same price.
Google Pixel C is the new top of the line Google addition to the Android tablet line. It's gotten rave reviews for the hardware. The only criticisms I've heard are about the dearth of great Android productivity apps for tablets. I've personally always found Android tablets to be less useful as laptop replacements than iPads or Google Chromebooks that start at $169. But Google Pixel C is a beautiful 10 inch tablet that starts at $499 for 32 GB. The full size keyboard sells for $149.
Microsoft Surface Pro 4 is the current top of the line tablet from Microsoft. It starts at $899 for 128GB / Intel Core m3 with 4 GB of RAM. They tend to talk in more conventional computer specs. You'll also want a keyboard starting at $129.99. It runs Windows 10.
Amazon Fire Tablets - Amazon offers 4 basic versions of tablets ranging from the Amazon Fire starting at $49.99 to the Fire HD 10 starting at $229.99 for 16 GB (on sale as of this writing for $179.99). There are pros and cons to Amazon's tablets particularly in comparison to its flagship rivals. You're probably not going to be able to use Amazon Fire as a desktop replacement or even as much of a content creation device. But they're great for consuming Amazon content. They do run a number of apps available from the Amazon app store so you can do email and other tasks on them. As long as your needs and expectations aren't high, you may find them a good value.
Tablets and smart phones have indeed supplanted e-readers for most as the devices of choice for reading e-books. But for those who want a dedicated e-reader there are still some out there from the usual suspects. There will no doubt be sales during and after the holidays.
Amazon Kindle - Amazon has 3 basic Kindle models: Kindle starting at $79.99, Kindle Paperwhite starting at $119.99 and Kindle Voyager starting at $199.99. It also sells a Kindle for Kids bundle at $99.99 which includes a cover, accident protection, no ads and some other features.
Barnes & Noble Nook is down to one e-reader with Android tablets occupying the rest of the line. The Nook GlowLight Plus is available at $129.99.
Amazon, Apple, Google and Roku all put out new versions of their streaming devices in 2015. Amazon and Roku offer either sticks or boxes. Amazon and Apple added voice searching to their devices this year - Alexa and Siri respectively. Google still offers the cheapest options - Google Chromecast or Google Chromecast Audio for $35/each. For that price, you don't get a remote, you use a tablet or smart phone to control your audio or video. Apple offers the most expensive, Apple TV at $149. Which device you choose will probably be determined by where you buy your content.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depends on how you look at it), most of the highly anticipated Virtual Reality headsets people have been talking about and eagerly anticipating over the last year or more are still in development. Some have planned release dates for early 2016. These are primarily of interest to gamers but will no doubt have other uses as well. Try not to look hopelessly geeky in any of these contraptions.
Oculus Rift - this is the device that has created the most buzz and excitement. It has a planned release date of Q1 2016 with no information on price.
Sony Playstation VR is supposed to arrive sometime in 2016. No price has been set. It will work presumably with Sony Playstation 4.
HTC Vive was set to come out by the end of 2015. It's now been delayed until 2016 with preorders in February and commercial availability in April.
Microsoft Hololens is possibly more augmented than virtual reality. Right now they're gearing strictly toward developers and taking applications for the Development Edition at $3K each. Not likely to be a toy for the masses any time soon.
Samsung Gear VR is available for purchase now for $99. It can only be used with current Samsung Galaxy phones: Galaxy Note5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+. If you have any of those phones and are interested in VR, it can be yours.
Google Cardboard is my VR device. The New York Times sent me one free as a subscriber. Here's some information about NYTimes' foray into VR. It will be interesting to see what kinds of content and uses there are for this technology in the future. It's still early days.
Amazon Echo has become one of my most used devices. You simply wake it up and ask a question: Alexa, what time is it? Alexa, what's the weather like? You get the current temperature and forecast. Alexa, what's new? You get the NPR news brief and/or any others you've set up on the app. Alexa, who won the Seahawks game? You get who played and the final score. Much better than Siri usually who just sends me on a web search. I also like that I can ask for music: Alexa, play Dave Matthews Band. I get shuffled songs from my music collection as well as anything else from Prime Music. I can also ask for genres: Alexa, play classical music. If I have books that I'm currently reading from Audible, I can pick up where I left off: Alexa, read my book. You can use it with other Internet of Things devices in your home such as WeMo to turn lights on and off. I find I use the Echo far more than I would have thought. It is more useful if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber and/or a regular Amazon customer as it has more content to access. Regularly priced at $179.99 on Amazon. It does go on sale fairly frequently.
On the tech gadget list for many this Christmas: Hoverboards and Drones. I can't say I know enough about them to have any opinion other than, I wouldn't buy one. But here are some articles so you can read up if you're interested.
Tech Advisor - Best quadcopters 2015/2016: Best drones with cameras for first-person view and aerial photography - a UK site but has extensive information and reviews. Of course, the laws will be different.


was felt to be of no use for new times, for a humanity come of age, proud of its rationality and anxious to explore the future in novel ways. Faith thus appeared to some as an illusory light, preventing mankind from boldly setting out in quest of knowledge.
Faith was thus understood either as a leap in the dark, to be taken in the absence of light, driven by blind emotion, or as a subjective light, capable perhaps of warming the heart and bringing personal consolation, but not something which could be proposed to others as an objective and shared light which points the way" (Pope Francis, Encyclical Lumen Fidei, June 29, 2013, nos. 2-3).
Yet recent Eucharistic miracles, subjected to modern technical analyses, shine a light that confirms the fundamental precepts of the faith and remind science that it cannot provide explanations for all of reality. These miracles provide proof of the objective real presence of the Body and Blood of the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
On August 18, 1996, Father Alejandro Pezet celebrated the Mass in the church in the center of the commercial district in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He had finished distributing Holy Communion, when a woman alerted him that someone had discarded a host in the back of the church. Going to the spot, the priest found the defiled host. He placed it in a little container of water that he then placed in the tabernacle of the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament. On Monday, August 26th, on opening the tabernacle, he saw, to his great astonishment, that the host had become a bloody object. He informed Bishop Jorge Bergoglio, the future Pope, then auxiliary bishop of Cardinal Quarracino. Bishop Bergoglio gave instructions to have the transformed host be professionally photographed. The photographs, taken on September 6th, clearly show that the host had become a piece of bloody flesh, and had significantly grown in size. For three years, it remained in the tabernacle, and the entire matter was kept secret. But, observing that the host suffered no visible decomposition, Bishop Bergoglio decided to have it submitted to scientific analysis.
In Lanciano, in the Abruzzo region of Italy, a similar miracle took place around 750. A Basilian monk was having difficulty believing in the real presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. He prayed constantly for relief from the uncertainties that caused him such pain. One morning, still assailed by doubt, he began the celebration of Mass before the habitants of a neighboring village. Suddenly, after the consecration of the bread and wine, what he saw on the altar made his hands tremble, and he remained completely speechless for a moment that to the parishioners seemed an eternity. Then he gently turned towards them and said: "O happy witnesses to whom the Blessed Lord, to refute my disbelief, willed to reveal Himself in this Blessed Sacrament and make Himself visible to our eyes. Come see our God so near to us: behold the Flesh and the Blood of our Beloved Jesus Christ!" The host had become flesh, and the wine blood! That very day, the rumor of the miracle traveled throughout the village like a fire sets a forest ablaze, and just as quickly, reached the neighboring villages and spread all the way to Rome.
This miracle remains visible for us today: the host become flesh, and the wine become blood, have remained perfectly intact for more than twelve centuries. In 1970, the Archbishop of Lanciano and the Provincial Superior of the Conventual Franciscans at Abruzzo, with permission from Rome, asked Professor Edoardo Linoli, director of the hospital in Arezzo, to conduct a thorough scientific examination of the relics from the miracle that had occurred twelve centuries before. On March 4, 1971, the professor presented his conclusions: 1. The "miraculous Flesh" comes from the muscular striated tissue of the myocardium (heart). 2. The "miraculous Blood" is real blood, as indisputably proven by chromatographic analysis. 3. The flesh and the blood are human, and immunological tests show that both belong to the blood type AB—the same blood type as that of the man of the Shroud (of Turin) and the type most characteristic of Middle Eastern populations. 4. The proteins in the blood are distributed in the identical percentages found in normal fresh blood. 5. No histological analysis found any trace of salt infiltrations or preservative substances used at the time for the purpose of embalming.
Let us note again that when liquefied, the Eucharistic blood of Lanciano (which is normally dried) retains all its chemical and physical properties without deteriorating in any manner whatsoever. Whereas normally, fifteen minutes after ordinary human blood is drawn, all the biological activities cease irreversibly.
The medical report, published in the Sclavo Notebooks (Collection #3, 1971), aroused great interest in the scientific world. In 1973, the chief Advisory Board of the World Health Organization appointed a scientific commission to verify Professor Linoli's conclusions. Their work lasted fifteen months and five hundred examinations were carried out. The commission declared that it was living tissue showing all the clinical reactions found in living beings. Since the 8th century, the flesh and blood of Lanciano have remained as if they had just been taken that very day from a living being. The summary of the commission's work, published in New York and Geneva in December 1976, acknowledged that science, aware of its limits, was confronted with the impossibility of providing an explanation.
Other experts have compared the lab reports written following the miracle of Buenos Aires with those produced for the miracle of Lanciano. These scientists, who did not know where the samples had come from, concluded from the reports that the two samples had come from the same person.
In the encyclical Lumen Fidei, Pope Francis writes, "Slowly but surely, however, it would become evident that the light of autonomous reason is not enough to illumine the future; ultimately the future remains shadowy and fraught with fear of the unknown. As a result, humanity renounced the search for a great light, Truth itself, in order to be content with smaller lights which illumine the fleeting moment yet prove incapable of showing the way. Yet in the absence of light everything becomes confused; it is impossible to tell good from evil, or the road to our destination from other roads which take us in endless circles, going nowhere." (no. 3). To avoid this evil, we need faith: "There is an urgent need, then," the Pope declares, "to see once again that faith is a light, for once the flame of faith dies out, all other lights begin to dim. The light of faith is unique, since it is capable of illuminating every aspect of human existence. A light this powerful cannot come from ourselves but from a more primordial source: in a word, it must come from God. Faith is born of an encounter with the living God Who calls us and reveals His love, a love which precedes us and upon which we can lean for security and for building our lives. Transformed by this love, we gain fresh vision, new eyes to see; we realize that it contains a great promise of fulfillment, and that a vision of the future opens up before us. Faith, received from God as a supernatural gift, becomes a light for our way, guiding our journey through time" (ibid., no. 4).
In confirmation of the faith of the Church, the Lord wished to give the world a new proof of His love with another Eucharistic miracle in 2008, a miracle with features quite similar to those of the miracle of Buenos Aires. On October 12th of that year, Father Jacek Ingielewicz celebrated Mass at the Church of Saint Anthony of Padua in Sokó?ka, Poland, in the presence of two hundred people. During the distribution of Communion, a host fell to the ground. Father Jacek picked it up and placed it in a small silver liturgical vessel filled with water so that the host would dissolve, and put it in a safe in the sacristy. For after a host is completely dissolved, the body of Christ is no longer present.
according to the current state of knowledge in biology, we cannot explain this phenomenon scientifically." Also very intrigued by the way the heart tissue was connected to the consecrated host, she declared that "this extraordinary phenomenon of inter-absorption of the heart muscle tissue with the host, observed under the microscope and also by electron microscopy, proves that no human manipulation of the sample could have taken place." In fact, the structure of the myocardial fibers and the structure of the bread were so tightly bound that no human intervention could have caused it (cf. Professor M. Sobaniec-?otowska's statement in the report, "The Eucharistic Miracle of Sokó?ka," Lux Veritatis, 2010). Moreover, the blood from the host had the same characteristics of the blood from the Shroud of Turin and the miracle of Lanciano (group AB).
After having officially declared that the tissue visible on the host was truly miraculous, Archbishop Ozorowski placed the host in an exposed monstrance for the devotion of the faithful in a chapel in the church of Saint Anthony.
whether during the celebration of the Mass or outside it" (Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 286). "There is a particular need," wrote Saint John Paul II, "to cultivate a lively awareness of Christ's real presence, both in the celebration of Mass and in the worship of the Eucharist outside Mass" (Apostolic Letter Mane nobiscum Domine, October 7, 2004, no. 18). To this end, "Like the woman who anointed Jesus in Bethany, the Church has feared no 'extravagance', devoting the best of her resources to expressing her wonder and adoration before the unsurpassable gift of the Eucharist. No less than the first disciples charged with preparing the 'large upper room', she has felt the need, down the centuries and in her encounters with different cultures, to celebrate the Eucharist in a setting worthy of so great a mystery.
Though the idea of a 'banquet' naturally suggests familiarity, the Church has never yielded to the temptation to trivialize this 'intimacy' with her Spouse by forgetting that He is also her Lord and that the 'banquet' always remains a sacrificial banquet marked by the blood shed on Golgotha" (Encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia, Holy Thursday 2003, no. 48).
The sacrifice of the cross and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one and the same sacrifice. The priest and the victim are the same; only the manner of offering is different: in a bloody manner on the cross, in an unbloody manner in the Eucharist" (Compendium of the CCC, no. 280). Since all the graces necessary for our salvation ensue from the Sacrifice of the Mass, "The Church obliges the faithful to participate at Holy Mass every Sunday and on holy days of obligation. She recommends participation at Holy Mass on other days as well" (ibid., no. 289).
Padre Pio possessed the gift of making others pray. One lived the Mass" (Fr. Narsi Decoste, Padre Pio).
It fortifies us for our pilgrimage in this life and makes us long for eternal life. It unites us already to Christ seated at the right hand of the Father, to the Church in heaven and to the Blessed Virgin and all the saints" (ibid., nos. 292 and 294).
Eucharistic miracles are undeniable facts. They place us before the great Reality: God exists, He became flesh, He is present and active in our history, He exposed Himself to suffering and death, to destroy death and give us Life! The happiness we all seek depends on our relationship of love with Him alone! In the encyclical Fides et Ratio, Saint John Paul II wrote: "Different philosophical systems have lured people into believing that they are their own absolute master, able to decide their own destiny and future in complete autonomy, trusting only in themselves and their own powers. But this can never be the grandeur of the human being, who can find fulfillment only in choosing to enter the truth, to make a home under the shade of Wisdom and dwell there. Only within this horizon of truth will people understand their freedom in its fullness and their call to know and love God as the supreme realization of their true self" (no. 107).
Let us draw from the Eucharist the strength we need to follow Jesus on the path of eternal life!


An employee was kicked early Feb. 14 during an armed robbery at Inserection at 4227 Blanding Blvd.
One of the two men who raided the adult merchandise store also kicked a computer before stealing cash.
Police said two employees and four shoppers were in the store at 12:48 a.m. when two men ran in. One, head and face covered with a hooded sweatshirt and blue bandana, pointed a gun at a 35-year-old employee and ordered him to get on the floor.
The second jumped over the counter and kicked the employee in the head, then kicked the computer, but he wasn't done. He whipped out a collapsible police baton and hit the employee again before opening the cash register.
One of the four shoppers hit the floor when he saw the pair come in, and another said the entire robbery took less than a minute. The employee who was attacked claimed he had no injuries and declined medical attention. As for the store's security camera system, kicking the computer apparently disabled it, police said.


Unification Days – every day's a holiday!
On this day in 1990 the great divide between East and West Germany, the front line between Soviet and Western ideologies for over four decades, was erased in an instant. Germany became one nation for the first time since 1945.
The reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990 followed the dramatic destruction of the Berlin Wall on November 9 the previous year.
The West's discontent lay partially in the economic struggle they had shouldered since 1990, adapting to both a new European Union and the weaker economy of the East. In the East, on the other hand, though they may have lacked fancy cars and TVs during the Soviet era, many missed the security that socialism afforded.
Unity Day doesn't provide a solution to economic woes, but it offers something more than that. An opportunity to declare something that for many decades was forbidden in Germany: pride in one's country.
The expression of national pride, something taken for granted in much of the rest of the world, was a big no-no during the half-century following World War II.
On October 3, as Oktoberfest nears its end, the ban on pride is lifted for a day. From the snow-covered peaks of Garmish-Partenkirchen, to the white cliffs of Rugen, to the harbors of Hamburg, to the phoenix that is Leipzig, Germans come together to celebrate what they all have in common.

Virginia Tech freshman center Trevor Thompson will transfer, per ESPN college basketball writer Jeff Goodman.
Virginia Tech freshman 7-footer Trevor Thompson will transfer from the program, his father, Ryan, told ESPN. Look for HM's to get involved.
Thompson, a native of Indianapolis, graduated from Ben Davis (Ind.) High School before spending a post-graduate year at St. John's Northwestern Military Academy, according to his profile page on hokiesports.com.
IU could potentially pursue Thompson, given his in-state ties, the NBA's interest in freshman forward Noah Vonleh and the Hoosiers' lack of proven big men.
Don't be surprised if the big boys try to get involved with Virginia Tech 7-foot frosh Trevor Thompson. Teams like KU, Ohio State, IU, etc.
Vonleh is almost unanimously considered a top-10 prospect for the 2014 NBA Draft and if he were to declare for the draft, sophomores Hanner Mosquera-Perea and Peter Jurkin would be the only players taller than 6-foot-8 on IU's roster. Mosquera-Perea averaged 2.8 points and 2.1 rebounds in 7.7 minutes per game as a sophomore. Jurkin has been limited by injuries and has only played 18 minutes as a Hoosier.
Thompson, a 6-foot-11, 210-pound center, averaged 5.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.2 minutes per game for the Hokies last season. He appeared in all but one of Virginia Tech's games in a season in which the Hokies (9-22, 2-16) finished last in the ACC. Thompson played a season-high 35 minutes against then-No. 6 Duke on Feb. 25 and recorded 15 points and six rebounds.
The IDS contacted Mark James, Thompson's high school coach at Ben Davis High School, via email Saturday afternoon. James said he knew Thompson was asking for a release from Virginia Tech but he doesn't know what the former Hokie is looking for in a program. James said he and Thompson's father, Ryan, have been playing phone tag all day.

Low-FODMAP diet & quiescent IBD
Dec 17, 2019 - E-Mentoring in IBD | Volume 12 • 2019
Can a low-FODMAP diet address persistent GI symptoms in IBD patients with quiescent disease?
Editor's Bottom Line
FODMAP restriction appears to be a useful strategy for IBD patients with symptoms but no evidence of disease activity.
Cox SR, Lindsay JO, Fromentin S, et al. Effects of Low-FODMAP Diet on Symptoms, Fecal Microbiome, and Markers of Inflammation in Patients With Quiescent Inflammatory Bowel Disease in a Randomized Trial. Gastroenterol. Epub ahead of print October 2, 2019; https://doi.org/10.1053/j.gastro.2019.09.024.
A small body of research indicates that limiting intake of fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols (FODMAPs) can reduce luminal water, colonic gas and distension in IBD patients with quiescent disease and persistent symptoms. In this study, investigators in the United Kingdom randomized 52 patients with quiescent Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis to follow either a low-FODMAP diet or a sham diet for 4 weeks. In addition to having IBD, eligible subjects met Rome III criteria for diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D), mixed subtype IBS (IBS-M), unsubtyped IBS (IBS-U), functional bloating (FB) or functional diarrhea (FD) at baseline. Patients were on a stable medical regimen and had not used antibiotics, probiotics or prebiotics during the eight weeks preceding the study. Several groups of patients, including those with extensive colon resection, bile acid malabsorption and constipation-predominant symptoms, were excluded.
Results showed that 52% of those in the low-FODMAP group reported adequate relief of intestinal symptoms after four weeks, compared to 16% of those adhering to a control diet (P=0.007). At four weeks, both bloating and flatulence were significantly less severe in the low-FODMAP diet group than the control diet group. Those in the low-FODMAP group had a mean 67-point reduction in the IBS-severity score (IBS-SS), compared to a mean 34-point reduction in the control group, although this was not statistically significant. Patients adhering to a low-FODMAP diet had higher scores on the health-related quality of life index after four weeks (81.9±1.2 vs. 78.3±1.2; P=0.042). While the low-FODMAP diet significantly decreased the abundance of Bifidobacterium adolescentis, B. longum, and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, all of which are believed to regulate the immune response, a low-FODMAP diet did not affect microbiome diversity or markers of inflammation.
Study Design: Single-blind, sham-controlled trial
Funding: The Kenneth Rainin Foundation
Setting: Multicenter
Level of Evidence: 1b (Oxford Levels of Evidence)
The summary and conclusion in this issue of E-mentoring in IBD pertains to the manuscript(s) being reviewed, and should be considered in the context of what is already known surrounding the topic and incorporated into practice as deemed appropriate by the individual learner.

*The New Yorkers* at City Center, 3/22/17
I saw *The New Yorkers* at City Center on 3/22. It was presented by Encores!, a group that stages forgotten Broadway shows. This is a show from 1930 with songs by Cole Porter and a book by Herbert Fields, based on a story by E. Ray Goetz and Peter Arno. Arno was a brilliant cartoonist at The New Yorker magazine, so the title of the show is no accident that way - - it's about the whole New Yorker scene, it's like it stepped out of the magazine. The essay in the program said that the show is seen as an early example of cross-branding.
I really enjoyed it. The overture was the highlight of the show, I don't know that I've ever been able to say that before. The delicious orchestrations were by Josh Clayton and Larry Moore, who know their way around a 1930s dance band. The harp doing its glamorous bit, the saxophones in harmony, the strings swooping, an elderly gentleman deftly playing the bass, a less elderly gentleman strumming on the old banjo.
I'll give you the briefest sketch of the plot: a society girl meets a bootlegger at his speakeasy and the two of them fall in love. The first scene takes place in the club - - her father shows up with his young floozy girlfriend, followed by his wife with her young stud boyfriend. The stud says, "What is your husband doing with that girl?" and the wife says, "There comes a time in a man's life when he has to pay a girl $50." Oh, did I laugh.
The first number, "Go to your dance," started off well enough, Mylinda Hull was the nightclub chanteuse and she sang and danced with style. But then it turned into a big production number and choreographer Chris Bailey just kept piling shit onto the stage: apricot chorines doing the shimmy, tall slim young men in tuxes holding fuchsia chairs aloft, the chanteuse howling full tilt, and the Andrews Sisters over on the side. This is what I call the Grodie Stew method of staging: my Aunt Karen used to clean out the fridge, use up all the leftovers, add a few new things and some daring spices and call it dinner. Her kids (the acerbic Heidi and Kent) called this Grodie Stew.
Tam Mutu was the bootlegger. He has a nice voice, he's good looking, can dance a little, he was fine. Ruth Williamson was the leading lady's mother, she was funny, sort of a Charlotte Greenwood type (I wonder if Williamson would be thrilled or mortified if she heard I described her that way). Kevin Chamberlin played the Jimmy Durante role, and he was working really hard up there, but it really only works for Jimmy Durante.
Cyrille Aimée sang the best-known song from the show, "Love for sale." Here's Annie Ross singing it - - the way she sings the word "smirk" at 0:43 is one of the highlights of recorded music:
I don't know how this is possible, but in Aimée's performance of the song, she overplayed underplaying. It was kind of fascinating. But I didn't like it.
Scartlett Strallen was the leading lady. I liked her dancing much more than her singing. The producers of the show had to fill it out a bit, so they bussed in numbers from surrounding Porter shows - - she sang "Night and day" and it went like this:
Only YOU beneath the MOON
And UNDER the SUN
It was tiresome. She did a better job with the last song in the show, "I happen to like New York." Here's the one and only Bobby Short doing the song at the Cafe Carlyle:
That song, in a sense, was the inspiration behind this revival: Encores! did a concert a few weeks after 9/11 and Donna Murphy sang that song and brought down the house. The artistic director of Encores! made a note of that and wondered about the show it came from. And there you are.


Limos4 brings you some of the basic and most interesting and unbelievable facts regarding limousines. ''Technically'' the first limousine dates back to 1902 and its design was based on the passengers' privacy, thus the driver seat was in the front of the car, outside the main compartment. The only thing that protected the driver from bad weather was a covered roof. Although the partition concept is still present, today it is only a divider which can be pulled up or down electronically.
The name ''limousine'' comes from the French region – Limousin, as the original driver compartment resembled the region's traditional outfit, a cloaked hood worn by shepherds as the protection from harsh weather.
The first stretch limousine was built around 1923 in Arkansas by the Armbruster∧Company and became popular with the big bands like the Glenn Miller orchestra or Benny Goodman orchestra that used it to travel together, with all their equipment – which is why the limousine eventually acquired the nickname of ''big band bus''.
Limousines were the first vehicles to use air conditioning, even though it was an optional feature at first. The system, however, was inefficient as it took up half the trunk space and could not provide a way to measure the temperature.
The longest limousine in the world is a 30.5 m-long Lincoln, designed and manufactured in California by Jay Ohrberg. Created for the advertising purposes only, the 26-wheeled limousine has numerous features, including a swimming pool and a king-sized bed. This luxury giant has even made it to the Guinness Book of Records.

Justice League: Zack Snyder version of the powerful new black and white trailer
senegal November 17, 2020 senegal
You are firmly waiting for the version Justice League Has Zack Snyder reviewed and corrected it? The director shared a new trailer on Tuesday that will help him wait for its release in 2021.
• Also read: Justice LeagueJared Leto Recaps Joker Role in New Version of Zack Snyder
• Also read: Guardians of the Galaxy: Chris Pratt takes the Star-Lord role again. Thor: love and thunder
A two-minute video in completely black and white also includes a few seconds of material you haven't seen before.
And, as in the previous trailer released in August, the image is once again a mythical Hallelujah De Leonard Cohen.
A new version of the Justice League, directed by Zack Snyder, will be released next year as a series of four episodes via the HBO Max platform. The director started working on the original work before leaving the work due to the death of her daughter.
Film director Joss Whedon was hired at the time to complete the filming on time. However, the final version shown in the film did not meet the expectations of fans.
A little later, the community started a movement asking the public to release the "Snyder Cut" of a feature film, which is supposed to be darker than the version being played in the theater. Warner Bros. Finally nodded a little early in 2020.

Q: How to get value of char pointer from Python code wtih ctypes I want to use C library on Python.
Then, I want to get message ( char* ) from C library fanction.
I wrote these codes.
I got result value(double* result_out) , but I didn't get message.
This code shown "c_char_p(None)".
Any ideas?
I use Python 3.6, and Ubuntu Bash.
C (libdiv.so):
#define ERROR -1
#define OK     0

int div (double x, double y, char *msg, double *result_out) {
    static char *err_msg = "0 div error";
    if(y == 0) {
        msg = err_msg;
        return ERROR;
    }
    *result_out = x/y;
    return OK;
}

Python:
from ctypes import *

lib = cdll.Loadlibrary('libdiv.so')
errmsg = c_char_p()
result = c_double(0)
rtn = lib.div(10, 0, errmsg, byref(result))

if rtn < 0:
    print (errmsg)       # None
else :
    print (result.value) # OK.

A: To return a value as an output parameter, you need to pass a pointer to the value type returned.  Just like you used double* to receive a double, you need a char** to receive a char*:
#ifdef _WIN32
#   define API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#   define API
#endif

#define OK     0
#define ERROR -1

API int div(double x, double y, char** ppMsg, double* pOut)
{
    static char* err_msg = "0 div error";
    if(y == 0)
    {
        *ppMsg = err_msg;
        return ERROR;
    }
    *pOut = x / y;
    return OK;
}

In Python, you'll also need to declare the argument types, or Python will marshal the values to C as c_int by default, which will break double and may break char* depending on the pointer implementation of your OS:
from ctypes import *

lib = CDLL('test')
lib.div.argtypes = c_double,c_double,POINTER(c_char_p),POINTER(c_double)
lib.div.restype  = c_int

errmsg = c_char_p()
result = c_double()
rtn = lib.div(10, 0, byref(errmsg), byref(result))

if rtn < 0:
    print(errmsg.value)
else:
    print(result.value)

Output:
b'0 div error'

A: The primary problem here is that your C is busted. Assigning a value to the msg argument doesn't do anything visible on the caller's end (just like if you'd tried to assign to an argument in a Python function).
If you want to actually make the error message string available to the caller of div, you need to take a char**, not a char*, and assign to *msg. On the Python end, you'd pass something like byref(errmsg).
Aside from that, you need to set the argtypes and restype on lib.div, or Python won't know how to pass arguments correctly.


Fishbowl recently stumbled across what we believe is the first permanent blog from a Washington Postie: Columnist Joel Achenbach's Achenblog.
Besides being a bit heavy on the strange name puns (in addition to Achenblog, there's Achenchat), the blog deserves some applause for being relatively "real," and offering some decent insight into how journalism is conducted in the District.
Aspiring journalists are always asking me, "How did you become such a famous writer, in addition to being a sparkling conversationalist and an extraordinarily manly man?" The first part is easy. Good writing comes from good reporting. And good reporting sometimes comes from standing around, waiting to get lucky. You want to put yourself in the position where luck will bump into you. The single best place to get lucky is in the halls of the Capitol. You will never get an appointment with a Senator, but on a good morning, hanging around, cooling your heels, you might bump into 10 of them, and they will usually let you tag along on the subway tram as they zip between the Capitol and the Senate office buildings. Sometimes you can follow them right into their inner sanctum. Once, during the Clinton impeachment, Orrin Hatch took me into his office and played some of the music he'd composed. He sang along, swaying back and forth. The things you discover from just standing around!
Joel's blog reminds Fishbowl of another entry into the blogosphere by one of D.C.'s top reporters.
Are there any other D.C. media personality blogs out there we don't know about? Drop us an email: garrett AT fishbowldc DOT com.

Q: Why do I get an error when trying to install Crystal Reports for VS 2010? This is the error message I get:

"Error 1904. Module C:\ProgramData\Macrovision\FLEXnet
     Connect\6\dwusplay.dll failed to register. HRESULT
     -2147024894. Contact your support personnel."

I think I am installing the right thing, since I downloaded it from this link.
It installs pretty well at first but just before the setup ends, that error message occurs.
It's my first time using Crystal Reports (because I need it for a database project ) so I really don't know how to check that error. Also, I'm still a beginner. I already have Visual Studio 2010 installed. I also tried clicking Ignore when this error happens but this results in Crystal Reports not really installed (it says installed but I can't find it in the Programs list) therefore I can't use it. I tried clicking Retry but the error message still shows (of course). I'm using Windows 7 Starter 64-bit on an Acer laptop. I tried searching about this error on Google but I can't seem to find any solutions for this. What am I missing here? Please guide me.

A: This Error happened to me when I was installing Crystal Report Run time on Production Server. I have checked the dll dependency using dependency walker and found that few dll are missing. Searched the reason for the missing dll and installed the required package. In my case, installing VC++ Redistributable gave the required dll. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Crystal Report package after that. We can call regsvr32 on the failed to register dlls as well.
Reference : Win 7, 64 bit, dll problems

A: The program wont be at Programs list. Go to Visual Studio, right click on your project, add new item and check if you have "Crystal reports" under "Reporting".
