Surgical procedures performed at the bedside in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia were documented using paper anesthesia records in contrast to the operating rooms, where an anesthesia information management system (AIMS) was used for all cases. This was largely because of logistical problems related to connecting cables between the bedside monitors and our portable AIMS workstations. We implemented an AIMS for documentation in the NICU using wireless adapters to transmit data from bedside monitoring equipment to a portable AIMS workstation. Testing of the wireless AIMS during simulation in the presence of an electrosurgical generator showed no evidence of interference with data transmission. Thirty NICU surgical procedures were documented via the wireless AIMS. Two wireless cases exhibited brief periods of data loss; one case had an extended data gap because of adapter power failure. In comparison, in a control group of 30 surgical cases in which wired connections were used, there were no data gaps. The wireless AIMS provided a simple, unobtrusive, portable alternative to paper records for documenting anesthesia records during NICU bedside procedures.

A contested divorce with children is a situation where one or both spouses dispute or disagree with one or more, of the many arrangements needed in a divorce and with the custody of the minor children. It only takes one unresolved issue to turn an otherwise uncontested divorce into a contested divorce.
A contested divorce proceeding takes much longer to resolve and often includes higher levels of stress and higher legal fees, which further add to the already high-stress levels associated with a divorce.
With a contested divorce, spouses will have to go through numerous steps before the divorce is finalized. This includes more involved and complicated discovery and tertiary costs related to the investigation to gather facts, depositions, or expert witnesses if it comes to that.
During the settlement phase, it is still possible—and typically encouraged—that spouses are able to resolve their issues. In the meantime, however, the divorce case is on a one way "conveyor belt" headed straight to trial. If settlement fails, the final destination is a Trial where a Judge—a complete stranger—decides what is best for you, your life, and kids.
In a contested case, our office prepares for trial at the same time settlement negations are taking place so that your case is adequately prepared for trial should the need arise. It is often said that a divorce trial is usually expensive. The truth is the day of the trial itself is relatively inexpensive compared to the months leading up to trial due to trial preparation.
While we do encourage our clients to settle if it is reasonably in the realm of possibilities, we still represent our clients to the best of our ability and prepare for trial in the background in the long run. However, sometimes settlement is just not possible.
During a divorce trial, both side's attorneys will get an opportunity to question both spouses, under oath; present exhibits; question witnesses; make their case; and give closing arguments. After the trial is over, the Judge will take the facts under advisement for a few days—or even weeks. Once the Judge has made his ruling, a final Decree of Dissolution will be signed by the Judge, which will officially divorce the parties and settle all disputed issues between the two divorcing parties.
Divorce is complex. Therefore, spouses in a contested divorce should definitely speak with an experienced divorce lawyer at RS LAW, L.L.C. who can inform them of their legal rights and ensure they are fully protected.

Weekly Tech Business Recap: RIM's PlayBook Premiering July 31, Netflix Takes a Nosedive
Subscribe to Wallstcheatsheet.com
Canadian investor Prem Watsa's Fairfax Financial Hld Sub's (FRFHF.PK) stake in Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) rises to 51.9 million shares, with a total value of approximately $351 million, which comprises 9.9 percent of the company. Watsa calculates that RIM's is undervalued, and recovery could take between three and five years.
Don't Miss: Will Bitter Patent WAR Erode Apple and Samsung's $5 BILLION Relationship?
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) intends to launch up to 5 or 6 tablet SKUs, including one for a 10″ model, reports Staples' United States' retail head. The various SKUs could represent unique tablet models, or perhaps versions of the same tablet that differ only slightly. Chatter regarding new Kindle Fire models is rife, although it has not stopped sales estimates from getting revised downwards from competitive fears, and reports of share loss. Lab 126, which is the Amazon division responsible for the Fire, has been hiring quite assertively.
Vringo, Inc. (AMEX:VRNG) shares are jumping, perhaps due to a column from SA's John H. Ford, who contends that Vringo could deliver gigantic returns if it can get even a modest royalty rate on Google search advertising revenue through a patent it owns for ranking search and ad results. The analyst also thinks that recent developments in Vringo's company's infringement suit against Google, AOL, and others have been positive.
AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has made three-year agreements with the Communications Workers of America which cover more than 18,700 employees. The union says that the contracts, which include annual wage and pension rises, do not include any major concessions on its part.
It's a complex patent infringement situation in an Australian court, as Samsung (SSNLF.PK) says that it has cancelled an agreement with the chipmaker Qualcomm, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) to not sue it or its customers for using its 3 gigabyte patents, following Apple, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) filing suit over the Galaxy Tab. Qualcomm's chips are utilized in 3 and 4 gigabyte iPad models, along with the iPhone 4S. Samsung's cancellation of the deal might have affected Qualcomm's decision to restructure its operations, to protect its huge IP licensing division.
Don't Miss: DOJ Strikes at Apple and Case Critics.
Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) is said to be in talks with France Telecom (NYSE:FTE), plus other European carriers, regarding exclusive launches, along with sharing the proceeds. The ongoing discussions mark a point of departure from Nokia's traditional strategy of reaching as many sales points as possible, and could be born of desperation to bring some hype to the autumn intro of its pricey Windows Phone 8 model.
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares are down modestly on Monday, following ComScore and others claiming that the company has experienced a significant growth slump in United States. This possibility has Jason Helfstein at Oppenheimer concerned that Facebook might miss its second quarter revenue estimates, to be posted on Thursday, as he forecasts that domestic advertising growth will decline to a paltry 7 percent from the first quarter's 27 percent, with international growth at 32 percent, which would be down from 48 percent over the same period. On the bright(er) side, the analyst concedes that his figures do not take the firm's nascent mobile ad sales into account.
Unlike its counterpart in the U.K., a German court has issued an European-wide ban on Samsung's (SSNLF.PK) Galaxy Tab 7.7 for resembling the iPad, but at the same time it refused to do the same for the 10.1N. Somewhat separately, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is seeking $2.5 billion in damages for Samsung's use of its IP, plus future royalties of $31.14 per unit to license its design IP along with 3 software patents.
Don't Miss: Here's How Apple Is BEATING Google Fair And Square.
Research In Motion's (NASDAQ:RIMM) PlayBook tablet in a 4 gigabyte LTE version will finally arrive on July 31st, according to MobileSyrup. The product will reportedly feature a dual-core 1.5 gigahertz processor, dual cameras, and 32 gigabytes of storage, for $550.
Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) and the European Commission are said to have reached a settlement outline of the latter's antitrust inquiry. The rumored arrangement will likely follow new concessions from Google which extend the proposed PC search remedies to mobile devices along with other platforms. However, Google's stateside struggles with the Federal Trade Commission do not seem close to being resolved.
Shares of the mortgage and real estate information provider CoreLogic, Inc. (NYSE:CLGX) shatter their 52-week high after the firm once again exceeded expectations for its second quarter results, helped along by a 28.5 percent rise in revenue from its mortgage origination services division, driven mostly by increased demand for credit and tax services.
Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) April sales in China wildly exceeded expectations and helped to bring a strong earnings per share beat despite of declining American iPhone sales. Observers are now wondering if the same Chinese factor could reoccur, as the country's 3-gigabyte base increased by 118 percent year-over-year in June to 176 million subs, and smartphone growth has been huge as well. Impressive sales in iPads and a boost to margins from low prices in flash memory haven't exactly hurt Apple, either.

Shares of Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) slide as investors analyze the impact of VMware's acquisition of Nicira, which currently has minimal sales, but its working model targets the elimination of proprietary Ethernet switches from firms such as Cisco and Juniper, supplanting them with commodity gear managed by its software. Cisco is currently developing a similar process, but its main priority remains the sales of its proprietary Nexus and Catalyst switches.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) reaches a patent cross-licensing arrangement with Amdocs Ltd. (NYSE:DOX) which should result in payments being sent back to the former. The deal in part covers Amdocs' use of Linux servers in its data servers, and if using the open-source operating system is deemed to violate Microsoft's IP, then the number of companies Microsoft could target would appear to be without limit.
Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) is being said by observers to be paying a new attention to detail, no matter how Windows 8 will be received. The firm reports that it's utilizing a wide range of techniques to enhance Windows 8′s graphics performance by 2 to 5 times that of comparable Windows 7 hardware. Everything from a high definition video to text rendering is covered in the claim, which might not herald good news for graphics chip vendors Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA) and AMD, since it might induce more mainstream PC users to consider that integrated graphics are good enough.
Analysts are bearing down (no pun intended – maybe) on Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Tuesday afternoon results. Bill Shope at Goldman commented that "Our sense is that Apple's management spent more time discussing macro pressures than in any other quarter over the past decade." Shope also disliked the size of the iPhone slowdown and Apple's fall in its gross margin, although he predicts that margins will bounce back in the iPhone-loaded December quarter. In the meantime, he reduces his price target to $790 but keeps his Buy. Other analysts have defended Apple, and say that investors might look ahead to the next-gen iPhone and iPad Mini. William Blair mentions that the shares trades at only 9 times the fiscal year 2013′s earnings per shares estimate (excluding cash). Sterne Agee keeps a $780 price target, but is concerned that the new iPad's retina display is affecting profits.
Shares of Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) were down about 25 percent in late afternoon, following word that the company's second quarter DVD subscriber losses exceeded its domestic streaming gains, plus its guidance for a 1 million to a 1.8 million third quarter rise in domestic streaming subscribers that makes full-year guidance for 7 million additions appear unlikely. In addition, the firm's guidance for another 600,000 to 900,000 DVD losses was also worrying. In spite of all this, Netflix contends that it's driven to move into continental Europe, even if such a push wipes out near-term profits.
Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN), is selling off ahead of Thursday's second quarter report. The company's Euro exposure is weighing on many investors, as are Kindle sales plus the impact of the state sales tax collections problem. Citi maintain its Buy, and believes that investors should focus on Amazon's potential to double its share of domestic online retail during the next decade. Nomura forecasts that the company will post another quarter of margin improvements, as it collects the benefits from giant warehouse investments.
Positive results from Broadcom Corporation (NASDAQ:BRCM) and other chips companies are helping to rally stocks from that sector, as are several suppliers to Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which initially dipped on the fiscal third quarter miss. Cirrus Logic, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRUS), has more than a 60 percent exposure to the former, but its shares spiked as well. There are at least two possible causes for this mini-phenomenon: the Street expects that Samsung will make up for any iShortfall, and/or investors are less bothered by Apple's iPhone shipments, than its margin and active server page declines.

Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR) and Riverbed Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:RVBD) shares make up for their lackluster performances in the spring, by continuing to fly following the posting of second quarter results and issuing better-than-feared guidance. Reaching a partnership linked to Riverbed's application delivery controller technology didn't exactly hurt, either.
Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) is abandoning a software project that it had hoped could compete with Google's (NASDAQ:GOOG) Android, say sources. The Linux-based software platform, code-named Meltemi, would have supplanted Nokia's Series 40 software, but a large cost-cutting drive is said to have caused the company to let it go.
Don't Miss: Google Challenges Apple's Map App With 3D.
Shares of discount carrier MetroPCS Communications, Inc. (NYSE:PCS) jump through the roof, subsequent to second quarter results that greatly exceeded depressed expectations. The firm lost 186,000 subscriptions during the period and saw churn rise 30 basis points to 3.4 percent, but investors had already been expecting such numbers. What was apparently not expected was that MetroPCS' average revenue per user would move higher to $40.62, or its cost per gross addition to fall $44 quarter-over-quarter to $191, or its adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization to rise $215 million quarter-over-quarter to $477 million. Leap Wireless International, Inc. (NASDAQ:LEAP) shares also jumped, in sympathy.
E2open (EOPN) is not enjoying the best of initial public offerings Thursday. The shares were first priced at $15, opened at $14.14 and are trading in late afternoon in the mid-$13 range; this performance contrasts with those of other recent enterprise technology IPOs. E2open is a relatively small member of the supply-chain management software market, and worries might be afoot regarding its ability to compete over the long run with such firms as SAP and Oracle, as they accelerate development of their cloud investments.
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares plummeted over 10 percent after-hours after disappointing earnings. Facebook booked a net loss of $157 million, or 8 cents per share in the April-June period, primarily due to stock compensation expenses. That compares with earnings of $240 million, or 11 cents per share, in the second quarter a year ago. Revenue grew 32 percent to $1.18 billion from $895 million a year ago. Adjusted earnings of $295 million, or 12 cents per share.
Don't Miss: Facebook is Zynga's New Punching Bag.
In the meantime, Zynga's (NASDAQ:ZNGA) crashed 38 percent after yesterday's horrific earnings miss.
Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) Mac OS X 10.8 is out, and its iOS-like features are igniting intense debate, although so far the feedback is mostly positive. Good Technology calculates that iOS comprised 70.8 percent of the firm's second quarter enterprise mobile device activations, which is lower than the first quarter's 79.9 percent, but it still far exceeds Android's (NASDAQ:GOOG) 27 percent. Separately, the next iPhone will be delayed because of Qualcomm Incorporated's (NASDAQ:QCOM) 28nm baseband chip shortage, says China's First Financial Daily.
Zynga's (NASDAQ:ZNGA) second quarter faux pas is now history, but Pac Crest questions whether it took part in some pre-IPO financial machinations that pushed its game monetization up to unsustainable levels so as to make its offering more attractive. At any rate, monetization has shrunk, and the analyst believes that Zynga will have to increase spending to sets things right. A problem with that is that research and development already comprise 52 percent of revenue.
Don't Miss: Facebook Phone? Zuckerberg Doesn't Think So.
Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) shares are down Friday after meeting understated estimates along with reporting significant slumps in payments growth, Western user growth, and domestic advertising impressions, plus large spending rises. So far, analysts remain more positive than not (which did not happen with Zynga). Needham predicts that mobile monetization should improve as advertisers become more used to the platform. Goldman believes that advertising costs per impressions will grow by 10 percent this year and 13 percent in 2013. Topeka points out Facebook's rising average revenue per user and success with Sponsored Stories. However, Barclays is displeased with the lack of second half guidance, and Capstone still frets over declining growth in Facebook's most accretive markets.
Shares of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) climb strongly post-earnings, as an increasing gross margin outweighs worries regarding top-line weakness and aggressive spending. Margin gains are now accruing from the increasing sales of e-books, Amazon Web Services server/storage capacity, and third-party merchandise. Goldman forecasts that these trends will lead to Amazon's operating margin bottoming later in 2012, and hitting 3.7 percent next year.
A123 Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:AONE) shares collapse Friday, subsequent to word that Qualcomm Chief Executive Paul Jacobs has stepped down from the company's board, a move which he explained was to focus more on his day job. In view of A123′s dubious financial position, it could be that investors are looking for an excuse to get out.
Groupon, Inc. (NASDAQ:GRPN) and eBay, Inc. (NASDAQ:EBAY) shares take advantage of Amazon's stellar second quarter report on Friday, perhaps getting fuel from Amazon's impressive sales of 3rd-party merchandise, much of which is sold by small businesses. Groupon is being heavily shorted, and has been beaten down in recent weeks on a list of worries, along with poor analyst commentary.
Don't Miss: SOCIAL MEDIA: $1 Trillion Value Added or Tech Bubble 2.0?
Improving European markets are said to be helping Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) rally more than 20 percent this week as value investors are betting that the firm can become stable. A website in China recently reported that Nokia will reveal two Windows Phone 8 models at its Sep. 5th Nokia World event, and its also rumored that Nokia WP8 devices could go on sale soon afterwards.
Research In Motion Limited (NASDAQ:RIMM) shares closed up more than 5 percent on the day, possibly due to the top-line beat posted by contract manufacturer Celestica's (NYSE:CLS) second quarter results. Celestica is fading out its RIM business, but in the second quarter, RIM comprised 17 percent of Celestica's sales. That number is a bit down from 19 percent in the first quarter, but better than some observers might have feared.

In our special column this time, we are pleased to host an interview with Mr. Nick Brown, Communications Director, Bureau Veritas Marine & Offshore who says that by accident or luck, PR and communications felt right for a career in shipping, which is a indispensable part of the modern world trade, both a challenging and important industry.
Mrs Shaw says that studying for her professional qualifications was a worthwhile career investment, even if it impacted negatively her social life for a short time. Also, she suggests to only focus on the important things and delegate others when necessary. Overall, it is important to 'work to live not live to work' she concludes, meaning that it is worth putting family, and friends first as much as possible.

Since opening its Greek office in 2010, based in Piraeus, IRClass has been actively engaged with Greek shipyards and owners to offer its full range of classification services.
When it comes to ship recycling, transparency is the top priority, SSI argues; in this regard, it is important shipowners to share information on their ship recycling policies and practices, allowing their data to tell their story. Responsible ship recycling is an important part of being a responsible industry, SSI concludes.
While the voting procedure for the 2019 GREEN4SEA Awards is open, Mrs. Sarah Zitouni, Business Development Manager, Lean Marine, notes that shipowners need simple, efficient and green solutions to comply with the environmental challenges and explains how its "FuelOpt™ system may be perceived as such a solution by shipowners.

            var sourceStream = new FileStream(
                filePath,
                FileMode.Open,
                FileAccess.Read,
                FileShare.Read,
                bufferSize: 4096,
                useAsync: true))
        {
            var sb = new StringBuilder();

            var buffer = new byte[0x1000];
            int numRead;
            while ((numRead = await sourceStream.ReadAsync(buffer, 0, buffer.Length)) != 0)
            {
                var text = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer, 0, numRead);
                sb.Append(text);
            }

            return sb.ToString();
        }
    }

Now if I understand my own code correctly, the Select statement is creating an IEnumerable<Task> where each task is awaiting a corresponding task from the tasks variable populated by the preceding for loop. This IEnumerable<Task> is then passed to Task.WhenAll.
I would expect that due to the await x; yielding the thread, there would be ample opportunity for the UI to repaint to reflect the changed label content but for some reason it is only updating after all the tasks have completed. Even adding a Task.Delay(1000) doesn't seem to affect the behavior.
What am I missing?

A: The code is running on an operating system that doesn't support asynchronous file operations, so FileStream.ReadAsync is running synchronously, despite having Async in the name and returning a Task.  Since the method is running synchronous, all of the methods that await it are also running synchronously, which ends up being all of the code you've shown.
Since you need this operation to run asynchronously, in order to not block the UI thread, you have no choice but to use Task.Run to call ReadTextAsync (or ReadAsync if you prefer) to ensure that the operation actually runs asynchronously.

b flat dorian scale piano
So it's a mode of B flat major which is when you start on the second note of the scale. Eb is the subdominant of the scale. This subtonic chord's root / starting note is the 7th note (or scale degree) of the B-flat dorian mode. © 2020 Copyright Veler Ltd, All Rights Reserved. Finally, letter c could be used to indicate that it is Db major chord in 2nd inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord IIIc. Home > Musical Modes > Major Scale Modes > Dorian Mode > B-flat Dorian. A scale that is rooted somewhere else is known as a mode. Looking at the Triad chord table, the name of the triad chord quality having major(M3) and perfect(P5) note intervals is major. , but obviously the note names will be different for each mode / key combination. Should each triad that we build be called major, minor, augmented, or diminished ? Learn how to form all types of scales. The chord symbol III could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is Db major chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B-flat dorian mode chord IIIa. The modes that have a subtonic as the 7th note are dorian mode, phrygian mode, mixolydian mode, aeolian mode and the locrian mode. Learn how to form all types of scales. To do this, the first column we used in this step, Db, will be moved to the final column of the table. The note interval name for the 3rd note / scale degree is therefore major, also called M3 for short. The chord symbol vio could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is G diminished chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B-flat dorian mode chord vioa. More details of this interval are at Db-perf-5th. More details of this interval are at F-perf-5th. The roman numeral for number 2 is 'ii' and is used to indicate this is the 2nd triad chord in the mode. Finally, letter c could be used to indicate that it is Bb minor chord in 2nd inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord ic. Repeating this for the 5th note / scale degree, the distance between C and G is 7 half-tones, and the note interval name is perfect (P5). To decide the name the chord quality, each step below will use note intervals to calculate how many half-tones / semitones / piano keys between the root and the 3rd (and 5th). The white keys are named using the alphabetic letters A, B, C, D, E, F, and G, which is a pattern that repeats up the piano keyboard. Here's the B flat melodic minor scale on the treble clef. a treble or bass clef), there is no possibility of having 2 G-type notes, for example, with one of the notes needing an accidental next to it on the staff (a sharp, flat or natural symbol). The roman numeral for number 7 is 'VII' and is used to indicate this is the 7th triad chord in the mode. For this mode, all notes have a match, and so the Match? It is in upper case to denote that the chord is a major chord. C is the supertonic of the B-flat major scale. Instead, III could be followed by the letter b to indicate that it is Db major chord in 1st inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord IIIb. Scale Degrees. And so the complete triad chord name prefixes the root note, Eb, onto this quality, giving us the Eb major chord. The B-flat dorian chord III is the Db major chord, and contains the notes Db, F, and Ab. This step applies the B-flat dorian mode note positions to so that the correct piano keys and note pitches can be identified. It is in lower case to denote that the chord is a minor chord. 1st note is always tonic, 2nd is supertonic etc.) This mediant chord's root / starting note is the 3rd note (or scale degree) of the B-flat dorian mode. To identify the triad chord note names, use the 1st, 3rd, and 5th columns / scale degrees, which are notes C, Eb, and G. For the 3rd Interval (note 2 on the diagram) the distance between C and Eb is 3 half-tones. As I said, there are 4 minor scales, but this is the one which is used predominantly in jazz - the Dorian … F-sharp) or a flat(eg. The note interval name for the 3rd note / scale degree is therefore minor, also called m3 for short. Instead, ii could be followed by the letter b to indicate that it is C minor chord in 1st inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord iib. To do this, the first column we used in this step, Eb, will be moved to the final column of the table. The B-flat dorian chord IV is the Eb major chord, and contains the notes Eb, G, and Bb. More details of this interval are at Ab-maj-3rd. Dorian Mode in B flat is a minor scale with a major sixth interval. The chord symbol ii could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is C minor chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B-flat dorian mode chord iia. It is in upper case to denote that the chord is a major chord. i. For the 3rd Interval (note 2 on the diagram) the distance between Ab and C is 4 half-tones. Instead, VII could be followed by the letter b to indicate that it is Ab major chord in 1st inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord VIIb. of 3 (last column). For a quick summary of this topic, have a look at Mode. To identify the triad chord note names, use the 1st, 3rd, and 5th columns / scale degrees, which are notes Bb, Db, and F. To identify the triad chord quality that has these notes, begin by counting the number of half-tones / semitones between the root and each of the notes. Then list the 7 notes in the mode so far, shown in the next column. Every white or black key could have a flat(b) or sharp(#) accidental name, depending on how that note is used. This step shows the ascending B-flat dorian mode on the piano, treble clef and bass clef. F is the dominant of the scale. Since this mode begins with note Bb, it is certain that notes 1 and 13 will be used in this mode. And so the complete triad chord name prefixes the root note, F, onto this quality, giving us the F minor chord. More details of this interval are at C-perf-5th. This step shows how to identify the notes and the name of a triad chord whose root note is the. To do this, the first column we used in this step, C, will be moved to the final column of the table. The table below shows the B-flat dorian mode, ordered to show the 4th note as the first column in the table. Finally, letter c could be used to indicate that it is Eb major chord in 2nd inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord IVc. B minor and D major scales have the same sharp key signature. So assuming octave note 8 has been played in the step above, the notes now descend back to the tonic. The key signature of B minor scale has 2 sharps: F♯ and C♯. More details of this interval are at C-min-3rd. Repeating this for the 5th note / scale degree, the distance between Eb and Bb is 7 half-tones, and the note interval name is perfect (P5). This step shows the white and black note names on a piano keyboard so that the note names are familiar for later steps, and to show that the note names start repeating themselves after 12 notes. Bb is the octave of the scale. The chord symbol IV could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is Eb major chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B-flat dorian mode chord IVa. The chord symbol VII could be followed by the letter a to indicate that it is Ab major chord in root position (ie not inverted) - B-flat dorian mode chord VIIa. The note interval name for the 3rd note / scale degree is therefore minor, also called m3 for short. Instead, vio could be followed by the letter b to indicate that it is G diminished chord in 1st inversion - B-flat dorian mode chord viob. Here's the Bb major scale on piano. This can be seen by looking at the Mode table showing all mode names with only white / natural notes used. This completes the set of all triad chords that harmonize with the B-flat dorian mode.

Q: Calling x64 C++ DLL from C#, process hangs (update) I'm porting a managed C++ DLL (MecDll) from x86 to x64.
test code in C#:
[DllImport("test.dll"), System.Security.SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
public static extern int getseven();
[DllImport("MecDll.dll"), System.Security.SuppressUnmanagedCodeSecurity]
public static extern int getsevenmec();

Console.WriteLine("{0}" , getseven() );
Console.WriteLine("{0}" , getsevenmec() );

code in test.dll:
extern "C"
{
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall getseven() {
return 7;
}
}

Code added to MecDll.dll:
extern "C"
{
__declspec(dllexport) int __stdcall getsevenmec() {
return 8;
}
}

When I run the test, I get the 7 printed from the test.dll and then process just hangs on a black window.
I see in process explorer that the dll is loaded.
The test C# code is compiled with any CPU and the DLL's with x64.
Any ideas?

A: it was a constructor of a static variable, inside the constructor there was a == between a socket and a defined negative number, adding (DWORD) before the negative number to the define fixed the issue.
thanks Ben

Cranbrook city council debates proposed Wildstone development
Trevor Crawley
Cranbrook city council held off on moving forward with a proposed apartment development in Wildstone until additional details are ironed out between the proponent, city staff and the public.
Mayor and councillors discussed the proposed development, which includes three four-storey apartment structures totalling 237 units, during first and second readings of proposed amendments to the Official Community Plan and zoning bylaw on Monday night.
However, council opted to put the process on pause to allow for an opportunity for the developer to meet with staff in a public forum where a more fulsome discussion around some of the issues raised by nearby residents can occur.
"With what we were presented with here, and with all the letters from the strata members, there's been some points brought up that aren't in our report and I think, realistically and conscientiously, myself, I would rather have a meeting with the developer, where he can explain to us, in his terms, what his plans are," said Mayor Lee Pratt, during the debate.
"We can ask the questions, and certainly, there's been some points brought up that aren't in our report. So now that we've been made aware of that, we can get clarification from the developer and our planning and engineering department and then I think we have a more educated point on making a decision whether we want to proceed."
The property, just under three hectares in size just east of Wildstone Drive, is being developed as a rental housing project by Crowne Pacific Development Corp. Specific amendments to OCP and zoning bylaws include changes permitting a rental apartment category, as well as increasing the density of the lot from 102 to 237 dwelling units.
The proposal includes three apartment buildings with a mix of unit sizes, as well as a clubhouse on a lot just north of the water feature on Hole 12.
However, the council agenda package included a number of letters from residents in Wildstone neighbourhoods such as The Whims, Boulder Creek and Legacy Lookout who are opposed to the proposed development.
Common themes from residents in opposition included traffic access in case of emergencies, given that there is only one entrance and exit from Wildstone, as well as traffic safety, given Wildstone Drive is a gravel road at the proposed site.
Other concerns raised in the letters of opposition include the fact that residents of the development won't be paying into strata fees, the potential impact on neighbouring property values from a market-rental development, and the fit within the neighbourhood plan.
Council voted to hold a meeting with the developer and senior staff through a Committee of the Whole meeting, where the public can tune in to a livestream and watch both sides discuss the issues. That meeting has yet to be announced, but will be posted on the City of Cranbrook's website when a date is set.

CPS chief meets with alderman over Whittier protest
October 13, 2010 (CHICAGO)
Parents and activists involved in the protest want the building to be renovated and used as a library instead of being torn down as planned. They say after Chicago Public Schools chief Ron Huberman met with Alderman Danny Solis Wednesday he asked to see parents' demands in writing.
Protesters say they feel like they're now being listened to and the sit-in could end soon depending on Huberman's response.
