Q: Android Thread Exception? i got thread exception in android , what i intend to do is, while clicking a button i started a thread going to dynamically invoke the handler ,handler update the text view with integer value , while reaching integer 10, i going to stop the thread and have to show an alert ,but it will cause an error, what i possibly doing is shown below
public class sample extends Activity implements Runnable{

public Camcorder()

            authalert3.create().show();
            counterThread.stop();

         }

    }

the error is thrown at counterThread.stop();
Anyone suggest me , how to solve this error.

A: You don't stop threads by calling counterThread.stop. This method is deprecated. In your case, by setting counterFlag = false; your thread should be stopping itself.
You will also be getting an exception if you click twice on your button: you cannot call start on a Thread that has already been started. You must create a new instance of that Thread and start that new instance (stop the old instance before if necessary).
You can see that SO answer for some sample code on how to create/stop threads: Android thread in service issue. I suggest that you also read some tutorial on Java Threads (this is not specific to Android).

Additionally I think that you don't need a thread at all, you are doing nothing complicated and thus you could simply use the handler to do all the work:
private static final int MSG_REFRESH_UI = 0;
private static final int MSG_UPDATE_COUNTER = 1;

private int counter = 0;

Handler handler = new Handler(){
    public void handleMessage(android.os.Message msg) {
        if (msg.what==MSG_REFRESH_UI) {
           String tes=shours+":"+smin;
           time.setText(tes);
           test();
        } else if (msg.what==MSG_UPDATE_COUNTER) {
           counter++;
           if (counter<10) {
               calculate(counter);
               handler.sendEmptyMessageDelayed(MSG_UPDATE_COUNTER, 1000);
               handler.sendEmptyMessage(MSG_REFRESH_UI);
           }
        }
    };
};

public void onResume() {
    handler.sendEmptyMessage(MSG_UPDATE_COUNTER);
}

public void calculate(int counter2) {
     if (counter2<10) {
         smin = "0"+counter2;
     } else if (counter2<60) {
         smin = ""+counter2;
     }  else{
         hours++;

         counter=0;
         smin="00";
         if(hours<10){
             shours="0"+hours;
         } else {
             shours=""+hours;
         }
     }
}

A: This will stop the thread at 10
    while(counterFlag)
         {

             System.out.println("The time starts at : "+counter);

             Thread.sleep(1000);
             calculate(counter);
             counter++;

             if(counter == 10) counterFlag = false;
         }

it's almost a year now since EP14.3 Part 2 was added to the official sakray server.
i already play on some server with that 'new' skills, but sadly they still don't appear on my n° 1 info site RMS.
I think I saw them in rAthena in last October/November, I don't add skills or classes immediately because they tend to get frequently adjusted when they first came out.
I plan to add in the rebellion stuff in the near future, I will be sure to include these as well.
Honestly, before I consider the idea, how many 3rd job servers out there that promotes the usage of the 3rd job change quests. With limited time and resource I choice to give priority to work that will benefits the most people. I have to admit knowing that there are official quest guides available somewhere else and that writing paragraphs isn't my interest (you can tell my Engrish isn't that good ...), I tend to put those off for as much as possible.
Okay, I'll look into that.

Jordan Scavone and being Might-E
by K.C. Hill | Jan 14, 2016 | 0 comments
Jordan Scavone is a storybook newcomer who is making some really good, really smart decisions about how to write and market his first book, Might-E!, which he plans to expand into a series.
It's exciting to see this first project from him, and I have no doubt we'll be reading much more from and about Jordan in the future. He's got a great outlook and lots of energy.
A Bit about Jordan
Jordan is a colorblind university student who works at a daycare center for kids. His favorite shoes are DC "The Flash" Converse hightops, awesome and thoroughly worn-through as they are. His favorite food is his mom's homemade beef stew and his favorite place to be is the zoo.
When I asked about his writing background and the type of material he wrote before Might-E!, this is what he had to say: "I've done a lot of script writing. I studied Film quite a bit during my undergraduate work, and I write and produce modern audio drama online.
"But I've now learned that I've been writing picture books since I was about four. My mother just moved out and she found a box of stuff that I've written (and poorly illustrated). The books range from aliens, animals, evil janitors and more."
Our Interview
CA: What was your inspiration for writing Might-E?
JS: My inspiration came from the many children I see come into the daycare where I work, and struggle with their parents, or an inability to open up away from home. I wanted to give them something to see themselves in, and to know that they can be mighty.
CA: How was the contract arranged with your illustrator, Caitlyn Knepka?
JS: I actually retain all rights to the images, and Caitlyn was payed upfront for her work.
I worked with Caitlyn through my Project Manager (at Mascot Books) at first, but we now talk quite frequently. She was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was quick, efficient, and open to criticism/ideas. I was actually given a packet of many different illustrators my publisher has worked with and was asked to choose at least three, however when I opened Caitlyn's I knew from the first image that I would not work with anyone else.
I would love to – and hope to – work with Caitlyn for a long time. If I have the chance to put out more books she is the first (and probably only) artist I'll call.
CA: How was working with Mascot Books?
JS: I have a good relationship with them. I've spoken with many staff members via email, from the CEO, or marketers, sales people, and two project managers. I've spoken on the phone with multiple people as well, and they are always very professional and understanding.
I decided on them [Mascot Books] because they specialize in working with unagented or first time authors (which I'm both of) so it seemed like a great fit.
CA: What gives you the deepest sense of pride with this project?
JS: That children actually like it. I was worried that despite being relatable (to me at least), that toddlers, preschoolers, and school age children wouldn't be interested in the book.
CA: When and how do you write?
JS: I write everywhere! My main workspace is actually my kitchen pantry. I turned it into a writing space as well as a recording studio for when I do audio mixing and voice acting (something I do in my spare time).
I do a lot of my writing between graduate school classes, on break at work, or at local diners around town. I love to sit at a restaurant early in the morning when they are slow, and just write.
CA: What turned out to be the most challenging task in getting your book together and on the market?
JS: Page breaks. Making sure each page break (either page turns or not) was fluid and interesting. Each page needs even the smallest amount of tension to propel the reader forward, and making sure that each page works in the way was much harder than I anticipated.
CA: What are your long-term plans?
JS: I hope to continue to write and eventually write professionally and not stop. I want to give the world more stories, and I want to continue to attempt to inspire and bring joy to everyone.
My greatest inspiration is the power of the story, especially when looking at fairy tales and the power of the oral tale.
[About] the utilization of social media, it has really aided in the sales and distribution of Might-E! I can only hope that this continues. The more sales I can make the quicker I can produce new books.
CA: If you could read your book to anyone, who would it be?
JS: Living, it would be someone like John Lassiter of Pixar. I think he'd really enjoy the book. Non-living, it would probably be my Grandpa Scavone on my dad's side and my Grandma Holmes on my mom's side. I think they both would also really like it, and be grateful that I had created it.

Parking Lots and Garages


Pictures of you partying it up with Stupid. Pictures of you wearing a shirt that says, "I'm with Stupid" and that points to a mirror with another picture of you taking the original pic of yourself.
Your personal life. What events you attend. Who you hang out with. Who you let it all hang out with.
Religious stuff. Political stuff. A whole lot of stuff. That's what Facebook's all about. Your entire friggin' life, right down to what TV shows you dig and what websites you read, all over it.
Luckily, FB is fairly decent about allowing you to keep things private.
On the surface, Google+ may seem like another Facebook. Another giant social network to share your life on.
But it is absolutely not!
At least, you should be aware of a few things before you go blasting posts to Google+ like you do on Facebook.
Firstly, if you use Gmail, or someone you email uses Gmail, your picture and a link to your Google+ profile will show up over there. Yep. That means they have one-click access to whatever you post on that particular social network.
While stalking someone out on Facebook might seem creepy, clicking a link in your email doesn't.
Secondly, if you're a professional writer, blogger, or anyone who's creating content on the web, it will do you well to setup Google Authorship. Get credit for your work all around the web, not just on your own personal blog, as long as you have everything setup correctly. That said, once you start getting that credit, people will have access to your Google+ profile.
Yes, you can keep some things private.
So keep that in mind the next time you want to post pictures of yourself wearing your cat's sweater…maybe that's better left for the 'Book and keep your G+ nice and clean.

Pianist Michael Barton Plays for Audience of Monkeys in Thailand
Pianist Michael Barton is happy for listeners -- even an audience made of monkeys. He recently played for a group of macaques in Thailand. He said, "I think that I was surprised to play the piano and find they were actually eating the music as I was playing it, eating and pulling the stools to pieces. But you know this is an incredible opportunity and I wasn't going to let those things distract from the project which is to play music for these wonderful macaques."

5 things to watch on the Lansing River Trail
Kate DuHadway
Maintenance, public safety and regional collaboration were key themes at the annual Friends of the Lansing River Trail meeting Monday evening, where more than 100 people gathered at the Lansing Center to talk about the future of the Lansing River Trail.
Now in its second year as a official nonprofit organization, here are five things the friends group will be working toward in the future:
•Trail maintenance. In a survey conducted by the Friends of the Lansing River Trail earlier this year, the majority of respondents listed "basic maintenance" of the trail as their first priority. Know of a spot on the trail that's in disrepair? Contact the city of Lansing's operations department at (517) 483-4161.
•More money for parks and trails. In 2014, Ingham County voters passed a $3.5 million per year millage for parks and trails in the county. Kevin Shaw, who founded the Friends of the Lansing River Trail group, said the Ingham County Board of Commissioners is commissioning an independent consultant determine where that money should be spent. Weigh in by finding and contacting your commissioner at ingham.org.
•Addressing flooding. Shaw said another top priority for survey respondents was addressing frequent flooding on the trail, particularly in the area near Potter Park Zoo. He said a possible solution would be to build a boardwalk over problem areas. For now, you can find out if and where there is flooding on the river trail by visiting www.lansingrivertrail.org.
•Signage and visibility. A major goal of the Friends of the Lansing River Trail group has been to increase visibility for access points along the trail, Shaw said. Last month, the group installed a new sign at Maguire Park, where three branches of the trail meet. Shaw said the group will continue to seek funding for some 16 "gateway arches" at major access points along the trail, which would increase the trail's visibility in the community and make it easier to find and access.
• Connections to existing trails and regional collaboration. Utilized by recreational users and commuters alike, city leaders spoke about expanding and connecting the river trail to other trails in the area. In his remarks Monday, Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero spoke about the Lansing River Trail as a regional asset, emphasizing the need for regional collaboration.

Q: How to retrieve all data points in a Cosm datastream? Given a datastream like https://api.cosm.com/v2/feeds/61916/datastreams/random5.json, I'd expect to be able to page through all the datapoints in a feed like so:
GET ?start=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z&interval=0&offset=0&limit=1000
GET ?start=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z&interval=0&offset=1000&limit=1000
GET ?start=1970-01-01T00:00:00Z&interval=0&offset=2000&limit=1000
...

But there does not appear to be an offset parameter, and Cosm requires a start and an end parameter that are no further than 6h apart. Do I really need to issue thousands of requests (i.e. one or more for each 6h interval, starting from the beginning of time), or is there a better way?

A: At the moment, the way to paginate through every point is, as you say, to use interval=0, with the max per_page of 1000 and to split the request up into 6 hour chunks.
We're looking at increasing these limits now that our back end storage can handle it.
Sorry I can't give a better answer right now, but this should improve.

A: By setting the "interval" argument to the API, it seems to be possible to specify durations up to the maximum indicated by the documentation (up to an interval of 86400 seconds which supports a duration of up to a year).
This jsFiddle example shows a duration of approximately 3 weeks when used with an interval of 3600 seconds with a URL of the form:
http://api.cosm.com/v2/feeds/79903/datastreams/Temperature.json?start=2012-10-15T08:00:00Z&end=2012-11-08T00:00:00Z&interval=3600&limit=1000


Let's see now...First things first. Happy birthday, Lynda!
I want to thank Renee for mentioning me in her interview for The Journal Interviews, as well as being an interesting look at one of the most interesting (and certainly best-loved) journallers of all.
Meditations of the Abyss has a excellent new look. Good deal, Becke! Are you going to be one of those journalkeepers who change their look with every new month?
Speaking of changing looks... I hope everyone likes the small changes I made to the main journal page, and hope that those who might have had troubles before will have an easier time of it. I toyed with getting rid of the starry background altogether, and just using the blue stars I use to seperate sections in the journal entries occasionally against a black background. Laziness won out, though. Let me know your opinion on that, okay?
I stole the way I redid some of the web rings from Tammy in Words and Thoughts, with some modifications. Thanks, Tammy! I liked the stark simplicity of it. Some of my web rings require some pictures on their links, as part of being accepted into the ring--so I tried to keep those. I don't think I violated the rules on any of the others. If any of the ringmasters of those webrings find I have violated their rules...I must admit I didn't go reread all their rules again...please let me know and I'll restore the pictures.
However, I am reviving Redwine again with a new entry.
Boy, I'm tired. Usually I have little trouble getting to sleep, but a combination of an active child (Jamie) and an active wife (Barb, of course) has left me pleasantly and agreeably sleepy. I probably only got four hours' sleep last night. I also went swimming two hours tonight with the boys. which gives you that deliciously languid feeling.
I can remember closing my eyes, and watching the lightshow behind the eyelids, as random neurons fire and seem to send flashes of light, usually inbetween the afterimages of bright things I've seen while awake. I'd get fascinated by the fireworks when I closed my eyes...a miniature thunderstorm enacting behind my eyelids.
I'd be too fascinated to sleep. Then I'd tell myself not to get interested...which of course, is like telling a little kid to sit in the corner and not to think of elephants. I'd get all nervous and tense, telling myself not to think of anything, to fall asleep. Thus I was keeping myself awake.
I can remember waking up at night at my grandmother's, looking out the screened window, looking at the full moon, wishing I could fall asleep. I was only nine or so, and Pop would insist that the lights stay out. Sometimes I'd be up till two or three in the morning. My grandmother's house was an old monstrosity, full of radiators that hissed and odd noises in the middle of the night. I wasn't afraid. I was just kept awake by the constant racket. The lights would be out,and I would stare outside.
There was a girls' dorm next to my grandmother's house, for a Baptist Bible College. Sometimes I would look, hoping to see the Holy Grail of young boyhood, a naked girl, a furtive exhibitionist changing in front of a window, flashing the neighborhood. I never did, of course. Not too many amateur strippers attend Baptist Bible Colleges. More's the pity.
But then, even then...I was an optimist.
Watching someone else sleep is the ultimate test in a relationship. My father used to fall asleep in his black Naugahyde E-Z-Boy recliner, open-mouthed and slackjawed. The most awful snoring I ever heard would erupt from him, and the worst part was, he would often do it around nine or nine-thirty, when programs worth watching were still on. We would stand it as long as we could, and then we would shake him awake and ask him to please,please, please go to bed.
Half the time he would get up, fix himself another vodka martini, and sit back down, now alert...for fifteen minutes, tops. Then his eyelids would droop, and his neck would relax, and his mouth would open, and it would start all over again. It was like having a lion constantly roaring in your den.
Unfortunately, the snoring, at least, is heriditary...or so they tell me, at least. There may be a reason Barb's much more of a night owl than I am.
"What does Daddy sound like when he sleeping? Do Daddy sleeping."
Everybody laughed, and even I smiled.
Having to force myself to sleep, luckily, has not been my problem in recent years. Even before we had kids, I seemed to sleep better. Maybe I just needed someone to share the bed with.
Now, if only I could get my kids to sleep on schedule. Jamie and Brian would stay up all night if they could. Eric tends to conk out early, but to wake up very early. Getting them coordinated is a never-ending battle. So I've learned to grab my sleep when I can.

Matt Taibbi, a prominent journalist who has written critically of Wall Street, is back in the pages of Rolling Stone magazine with a lengthy report on a JPMorgan Chase whistle-blower.
Alayne Fleischmann, a former due diligence manager for JPMorgan who was laid off in 2008, says that she witnessed "massive criminal securities fraud" in the bank's mortgage operations during the period leading up to the financial crisis.
In 2012, Ms. Fleischmann began working with federal prosecutors in California who were pursuing a criminal inquiry. The bank was also facing a number of civil investigations into its mortgage practices.
Ms. Fleischmann recounts a number of warnings she gave to JPMorgan executives. In 2006, Ms. Fleischmann says a superior told her to stop sending emails on mortgage deals. She also says that she told Greg Boester, a managing director, that she objected to high-risk loans being rated as low-risk securities. In 2007, Ms. Fleischmann sent a letter to another managing director, William Buell, warning of problems with the loans.
These conversations were recounted in a statement of facts that were part of the civil settlement and in an earlier Wall Street Journal article, but no employees are mentioned by name.
As part of that settlement, JPMorgan backed down from demands that prosecutors drop the criminal inquiry. Mr. Taibbi offers a theory that the settlement included "a tacit agreement from the DOJ not to pursue criminal charges in earnest." He cites the Justice Department's failure to conduct a follow-up interview with Ms. Fleischmann last year. She says that investigators finally interviewed her this summer.
Mr. Taibbi writes that Ms. Felischmann's interview could violate a confidentiality agreement that she signed upon leaving the bank.
An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the source of the assumptions about what Alayne Fleischmann's cooperation with investigators would mean in the government's case against JPMorgan. Matt Taibbi later wrote on Twitter that the idea of the Justice Department using her testimony as leverage in a civil case "was more my inference than hers." He also added that Ms. Fleischmann "does not explicitly say she violated" a confidentiality agreement. The article also misstated her title. She was a former due diligence manager for JPMorgan, not a securities lawyer.

Straight roads aren't uncommon of course, but not many have histories that go back as far as these two that cross the Erie Canal in Western New York State.
Joseph Ellicott was the resident general agent of the Holland Land Company, which owned the 3.3 million acre tract that today is Western New York State. It was his job to survey and to sell the land in this region to settlers. Before these "base lines" could be surveyed, the trees had first to be cleared so the surveyor could see and direct his partner holding an upright pole called a "surveyor's rod" in the distance. A team of ax-men worked ahead of them all the way, and in many areas their work was kept cleared by pioneer residents who used their openings as roads.

A commission with two elements : An outdoor sculpture project for children using natural and found materials from the shore. With the help of six artists, the group created huge and exciting sculptures that formed part of the Multi Media Environmental Sculpture Project. Produced in association with Saothar Ealaíne Artists Group, Udarás na Gaeltachta and Earagail Arts Festival. Taking their inspiration from elements in the surrounding landscape and using natural and found materials, the artists have created living and floating sculptures.

The Incredibles – known in their ordinary lives as the Parr family – get VIP treatment in this sequel, moving out of a shabby hotel and into an ultra-modern home. Mr Incredible, or Bob, discovers that staying home and looking after the kids – Violet, Dash and baby Jack-Jack – is more difficult than saving the city. This feeds into a sentimental message left implied rather than directly stated: that being a good parent is the greatest superhero act of them all.
The result is the freshest and sassiest superhero blockbuster of the year, made with genuine belief that an audience's allegiance to a brand should not be taken for granted.
Be sure to watch Incredibles 2 at Event Cinemas.

AkzoNobel launches 24-hour challenge to fight climate change
By James B. Osborne on April 7, 2022 Auto services
AkzoNobel announced the launch of an initiative to collectively accelerate the reduction of carbon emissions in the paints and coatings industry.
The company has invited partners from across the value chain to participate in its Collaborative Sustainability Challenge, a new Paint the Future initiative that aims to develop a common approach to tackling climate change.
Scheduled for May, the 24-hour event will involve senior executives and next-generation leaders from a select group of partners – including suppliers and customers – who will engage in open discussions in a non-confidential environment.
"Successfully combating the impact of climate change is everyone's responsibility," said Thierry Vanlancker, CEO of AkzoNobel. "Having set science-based sustainability targets to halve our carbon emissions across the entire value chain by 2030, we are fully committed to achieving it. However, we know that the only way for us to achieve this ambition – and play our part in limiting global warming to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – is to work with our partners.
During the event, participants will delve into the following areas:
Energetic transition – Inspire partners towards decarbonization processes and the transition to renewable energy sources
Process efficiency – Increase the efficiency of material use and reduce the energy needed to apply and cure paints and coatings
Solvent emissions – Reduce the number of solvents emitted across our entire value chain
Circular solutions – Increase the use of circular solutions in paints and coatings, both upstream and downstream
"There are unprecedented challenges that we all have to overcome," said Klaas Kruithof, chief technology officer of AkzoNobel. "Achieving this will require collaborative innovation across the industry. We want to challenge ourselves and our partners to collectively identify opportunities in the areas we will discuss, resulting in one real winner: our planet.
The upcoming Collaborative Sustainability Challenge will build on the success of Paint the Future, which has already established a strong collaborative innovation ecosystem with startups, suppliers, universities and customers.
"Paint the Future has revolutionized innovation in the paints and coatings industry, and this challenge is a natural progression as our science-based sustainability focus is clearly driving innovation," said Vanlancker. "It's about challenging ourselves and our partners every day to be better global citizens and to protect the future of our planet, which is fundamental for our own people. Planet. To paint. approach to doing business.
The AkzoNobel Collaborative Sustainability Challenge is set to take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, May 17-18, 2022.

All about family ... and motorcycles
Harley-Davidson MC enjoys 20 years or success in the city
By KIM NOWATZKE - For The News-Dispatch
MICHIGAN CITY — After two decades, the Harley-Davidson Shop of Michigan City continues to cruise into the future with its homey atmosphere, friendly staff, community commitment, and the level of service their customers know they can rely on.
The motorcycle dealership at 2968 N. U.S. 421 is one of six Harley-Davidson shops in Indiana owned by brothers Mike and Mark Forszt. These include Harley-Davidson of Kokomo, Harley-Davidson of Valpo (Valparaiso), Indy West Harley-Davidson (Indianapolis), Harley-Davidson of Bloomington, Indiana; and Hunter's Moon Harley-Davidson (Lafayette).
General Manager Jeff Haggerty considers the Michigan City location the most family-oriented.
"We're the only one in the group with a fireplace – we have a very homey and quaint atmosphere," he said.
Harley-Davidson Shop of Michigan City also has two German shepherd mascots: Harley and Chopper. The Forszts rescued them as 6-month-old puppies from Lakeshore Paws, an animal rescue organization in Valparaiso.
Haggerty has more than 20 years with the company, and Parts Manager Tom "Fish" Fisher has been at the Michigan City location for 18 years.
"It's a good atmosphere to work in – it's a fun job," said Office/Finance Manager Katlyn Slater, who joined the team 12 years ago.
Service Manager Joline Kochopolous, who started at the shop in April 2015, especially feels right at home there.
"She came in as a little girl with her parents and now she works here," explained Slater.
Tee Bettelyoun, the motor clothes department manager, began at Harley-Davidson Michigan City in 2014. Motorcycle Technicians Bill Pegg and Jerry Denton, in addition to Salesperson Al Bock, complete the local team.
"We have a lot of fun here – we enjoy our jobs and our customers. We laugh a lot. A lot of customers just come out and hang out," said Slater.
"It's a destination," said Keith "Katfish" Jones, the general manager of Honda of Michigan City. "One thing about it is we have fun here – it's a great atmosphere."
The Honda dealership is also owned by the Forszts and shares the same building as the Harley-Davidson dealership; the arrangement is unique to the Michigan City location. The Honda dealership looks forward to also celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2020.
Jones, who began with the Honda team 10 years ago, is a Michigan City native as well as Parts Manager Bob Schmitt, who began six years ago. The shop employs four others.
Honda of Michigan City sells motorcycles (both street and dirt bikes), ATVs, scooters and side by sides while Harley-Davidson of Michigan City offers their extensive line-up of motorcycles from sportsters to touring bikes.
Both the Harley-Davidson and Honda shops offer pick-up and delivery services, financing options including extended service plans and tire and wheel coverage, winter storage, and experienced service departments.
Customers will find a wide assortment of motor clothes for adults, children and even pets, functional riding gear, accessories, and other gift items at Harley-Davidson of Michigan City.
"If Harley makes it, we most likely can get it," said Slater. "We can look at five other stores, so we have a lot of inventory to pull from."
Shirts with customized backs featuring graphics exclusively for Michigan City are a popular item at the Harley-Davidson dealership. Some include the Washington Park Beach lighthouse, the Dunes and even the Indiana State prison.
"You can't buy those at any other dealership," Slater said.
In addition to general maintenance, inspections and repairs, the shop provides customizing services such as when a customer wants to add a backrest, saddlebags, or extra chrome to a bike. Those who are looking for a custom paint job can drop off their Harley at the Michigan City location for the service to be completed at Harley-Davidson of Valpo.
Haggerty said customers visit the Harley-Davidson Shop of Michigan City from Michigan City and La Porte, East Porter County, and Southwest Michigan.
"Just off of I-94, we get a lot of travelers because of where we're located," he said.
Harley-Davidson of Michigan City is active in the community through several public events. It celebrated its 20th anniversary on Aug. 10 with bands, food, a beer garden and vendors. The shop held a successful second annual Trunk or Treat on Oct. 26 despite rainy conditions.
Today is the 20th annual Blue Ball Run & Chili Cook-Off where bikers complete a ride, which takes 1.5 to 2 hours, to five stops, and then return to the dealership to enjoy hearty chili.
"It's always our biggest turnout for an event," said Haggerty.
The shop has also supported Michiana Humane Society, the National Veterans Awareness Ride, Run for the Wall, Guardian Riders, the Michigan City Fire Department, local high schools, and other non-profits. As in past years, Harley-Davidson of Michigan City will once again be working with Toys for Tots to provide holiday smiles for children.
Harley-Davidson Michigan City is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and closed Sunday and Monday. For more information, go to www.hdmichigancity.com, look up "The Harley-Davidson Shop of Michigan City," and "harleydavidsonmichigancity" on Instagram. The dealership may also be reached at 219-878-8885.

Wings and Wheels was a major airshow and motorsport event held since 2005 at Dunsfold Aerodrome which is home to Formula Woman and to BBC's motoring show, Top Gear. The aerodrome is now known as Dunsfold Park and owned by The Rutland Group. It is also home to a number of aircraft including the Vickers Vimy replica, NX71MY, which was retired to Brooklands Museum in November 2009. Wings and Wheels was officially cancelled in 2019 due to the economic climate.

Charities
The show was held in support of local charities including Brooklands Museum, Cranleigh Village Hospital, CHASE and Help for Heroes and The Surrey Community Foundation.

Aircraft
The flying display always had a strong theme of Hawker and British Aerospace (BAE Systems) products, a reflection of the aviation history of both Brooklands and Dunsfold. There was also always a number of warbirds such as North American P-51 Mustangs, Douglas Dakotas and North American B-25 Mitchells reflected the interesting history of this World War 2 airfield which served postwar as a Hawker aircraft factory and flight test airfield from the 1950s until 2000.

Pittsburgh company faces questions, lawsuits about wearable defibrillator
Updated: 6:35 PM EST Feb 14, 2019

Investigative Reporter
WEBVTT >> ZOLL, THE COMPANY THAT MAKES THE LIFEVEST, SAYS IT HAS SAVED THOUSANDS OF LIVES, BUT THE FIRST INDEPENDENT STUDY OF THE LIFEVEST FOUND NO EVIDENCE THAT IT MEETS ITS PRIMARY GOAL , REDUCING THE RISK OF DEATH FROM A SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST. WHAT'S MORE, ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES FOUND HUNDREDS OF CASES INVOLVING PAIN, PANIC AND IN SOME INSTANCES, EVEN DEATH, WHERE PATIENTS SAID THE LIFEVEST MALFUNCTIONED. >> THESE ARE THE BURNS 11-YEAR-OLD NATALIE PEZZANI SUFFERED WHEN HER MOM SAYS HER LIFEVEST TRIGGERED FOR NO REASON. >> SHE SCREAMED AND I RUN IN AND SHE SAYS, MOM IT'S BURNING. SO, I PULLED OFF THE VEST, GREEN GOO WAS COMING OUT OF THE PADS AND IT LITERALLY BURNED HER. >> RACHEL PEZZANI SAYS SHE AND HER DAUGHTER WHO HAS A HEART CONDITION SUFFERED THROUGH MORE FALSE ALARMS BEFORE THEY GAVE UP ON THE LIFEVEST. EVEN 4 YEARS LATER, RACHEL SAYS HER DAUGHTER IS STILL TRAUMATIZED. >> EACH TIME IT WOULD GO OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, SHE'S WAKING UP FREAKING OUT NOT KNOWING IF HER HEART IS STOPPING. >> YOU MAY BE FAMILIAR WITH AUTOMATED DEFIBRILLATORS LIKE THIS ONE. YOU CAN FIND THEM AT MANY OFFICES, AIRPORTS AND OTHER PUBLIC BUILDINGS, BUT UNLIKE THIS AED, THE LIFEVEST IS SOMETHING CARDIAC PATIENTS HAVE TO WEAR 24/7. THIS IS THE LIFEVEST, SHOWN HERE IN AN ANIMATION PRODUCED BY ZOLL MEDICAL, WHOSE WEARABLE DEFIBRILLATOR OPERATION IS BASED IN O'HARA TOWNSHIP. >> IT DETECTS ARRHYTHMIAS AND CAN DELIVER TREATMENT SHOCKS TO THE HEART WHEN NECESSARY. >> BUT, AN FDA DATABASE SHOWS THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ALLEGING THE LIFEVEST MALFUNCTIONED. THE FDA CALLS THEM INAPPROPRIATE DEFIBRILLATION EVENTS. RACHEL PEZZANI IS AMONG THE DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO REPORTED BURNS OR RASHES. LAST YEAR, THE FDA ISSUED A SAFETY WARNING AND ZOLL ISSUED A RECALL AFTER A PATIENT WEARING A LIFEVEST DIED. IN THAT AND OTHER CASES, PATIENTS GOT A WARNING THAT THE VEST NEEDED TO BE SERVICED BUT THE FDA SAYS ZOLL'S WARNING DID NOT ALERT PATIENTS THAT THEY COULD DIE OR BE INJURED IF THE VEST WAS NOT REPLACED IMMEDIATELY. IN A STATEMENT ON ITS WEBSITE, ZOLL'S PRESIDENT SAYS A SOFTWARE REVISION CORRECTED THE PROBLEM, BUT THE COMPANY IS STILL FACING WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUITS IN FLORIDA AND ILLINOIS FROM FAMILIES OF PATIENTS WHO SAY THE LIFEVEST FAILED TO DELIVER A SHOCK DURING CARDIAC ARREST. ZOLL DENIES ANY WRONGDOING AND IS CONTESTING THE LAWSUITS. DOCTOR MARK ESTES IS A CARDIOLOGIST AT UPMC WHO SPECIALIZES IN ARRHYTHMIA. >> THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES IN WHICH PATIENTS HAVE DIED SUDDENLY WITH THE DEVICE IN PLACE AND THERE HAVE BEEN QUESTIONS AS TO WHETHER THE DEVICE ACTUALLY DETECTED AN ARRHYTHMIA OR NOT. >> WHAT'S MORE, A FIRST OF ITS-KIND MEDICAL STUDY LAST YEAR COMPARED AT-RISK CARDIAC PATIENTS WHO WORE A LIFEVEST WITH THOSE WHO DID NOT. THE ARRHYTHMIC DEATH RATE WITHIN 90 DAYS WAS 1.6% FOR THE PATIENTS WEARING A LIFEVEST AND 2.4% FOR THOSE WITHOUT A VEST. THE STUDY FOUND THE LIFEVEST DID NOT LEAD TO A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER RATE OF THE PRIMARY OUTCOME OF ARRHYTHMIC DEATH. DOCTOR ESTES REVIEWED THE STUDY FOR ACTION NEWS INVESTIGATES. >> THERE WAS NO DIFFERENCE AT THE END OF THE DAY IN THE PRIMARY OUTCOME OF DYING FROM AN ARRHYTHMIA BETWEEN THOSE WITH THE DEVICE AND THOSE WITHOUT THE DEVICE. >> SO THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THE DEVICE DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH THESE PATIENTS? >> THAT'S CORRECT. BASED ON THE TRIAL THE DEVICE , DIDN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. >> ZOLL REFUSED OUR MULTIPLE REQUESTS FOR AN INTERVIEW, BUT THE COMPANY POINTED TO ANOTHER STUDY FUNDED BY ZOLL THAT SAID THE LIFEVEST WAS 96% EFFECTIVE AT TREATING PATIENTS WHO SUFFERED A RAPID LIFE-THREATENING HEART RHYTHM AND ZOLL CONNECTED US WITH DAVID SMITH A KANSAS MAN WHO SAYS OF THE LIFEVEST -- >> WELL, IT SAVED MY LIFE. >> HE WAS ASLEEP WEARING THE VEST WHEN THE ALARM WENT OFF WAKING HIS WIFE. >> BY THE TIME SHE CALLED 911, THE LIFEVEST ADMINISTERED A TREATMENT. >> HE SAYS THE VEST SHOCKED HIM AND RECALIBRATED HIS HEART RATE. >> IF NOT FOR MY VEST, MY WIFE WOULD BE HERE AS A WIDOW. I WOULDN'T BE HERE TALKING WITH YO >> ESTES SAYS HE DOES NOT OPPOSE INDIVIDUAL PATIENTS USING THE LIFEVEST AFTER CONSULTING WITH THEIR DOCTOR. WHAT THE SCIENCE DOESN'T SUPPORT THAT IT SAVES LIVES, BUT IT MAY BE VERY REASONABLE FOR AN INDIVIDUAL PATIENT SPEAKING WITH THEIR PHYSICIAN TO ACCEPT THE RISK AND THE BENEFIT. >> FOR RACHEL PEZZANI, AFTER SEEING WHAT HAPPENED TO HER DAUGHTER, THE RISKS ARE SIMPLY TOO GREAT. >> THEY NEED TO GO BACK AND REDESIGN THIS THING. THEY NEED TO PULL THIS AND THEY NEED TO EXPLAIN TO PEOPLE WHAT THIS IS ACTUALLY DOING TO THEM. >> SO, WHAT IS THE ALTERNATIVE? DOCTOR ESTES SAYS PEOPLE SHOULD IMPROVE THEIR CARDIAC HEALTH LONG BEFORE A WEARABLE DEFIBRILLATOR MIGHT BE NECESSARY. >> WHAT DOES THE DOCTOR SAY PEOPLE SHOULD DO TO IMPROVE THEIR CARDIAC HEALTH? >> NO SURPRISE HERE -- REGULAR EXERCISE, NO SMOKING AND A HEART-HEALTHY
A wearable defibrillator vest that warns you if you're going into cardiac arrest has been called a lifesaver.But Action News Investigates has learned the Pittsburgh company that makes the so-called LifeVest is facing accusations that it does not work as promised.Natalie Pezzani was just 11 when she suffered burns after her LifeVest triggered for no reason, according to her mother."She screamed and I ran in and she says, 'Mom, it's burning.' So I pulled off the vest, green goo was coming out of the pads and it literally burned her," said Rachel Pezzani.Pezzani said she and her daughter, who has a heart condition, suffered through more false alarms before they gave up on the LifeVest. Even four years later, Rachel said her daughter is still traumatized. "Each time it would go off in the middle of the night, she's waking up freaking out not knowing if her heart is stopping," Pezzani said. Unlike automatic defibrillators, a LifeVest is supposed to be worn by cardiac patients 24 hours a day.The LifeVest is made by Zoll Medical, whose wearable defibrillator operation is based in O'Hara Township, outside Pittsburgh.A video of the LifeVest, produced by Zoll, said, "It detects arrhythmias and can deliver treatment shocks to the heart when necessary."But an FDA database shows thousands of complaints alleging the LifeVest malfunctioned. The FDA calls them inappropriate defibrillation events. Pezzani is among the dozens of people who reported burns or rashes. Last year, the FDA issued a safety warning and Zoll issued a recall after a patient wearing a LifeVest died.

A wearable defibrillator vest that warns you if you're going into cardiac arrest has been called a lifesaver.
But Action News Investigates has learned the Pittsburgh company that makes the so-called LifeVest is facing accusations that it does not work as promised.
Natalie Pezzani was just 11 when she suffered burns after her LifeVest triggered for no reason, according to her mother.
"She screamed and I ran in and she says, 'Mom, it's burning.' So I pulled off the vest, green goo was coming out of the pads and it literally burned her," said Rachel Pezzani.
Pezzani said she and her daughter, who has a heart condition, suffered through more false alarms before they gave up on the LifeVest. Even four years later, Rachel said her daughter is still traumatized.
"Each time it would go off in the middle of the night, she's waking up freaking out not knowing if her heart is stopping," Pezzani said.
Unlike automatic defibrillators, a LifeVest is supposed to be worn by cardiac patients 24 hours a day.
The LifeVest is made by Zoll Medical, whose wearable defibrillator operation is based in O'Hara Township, outside Pittsburgh.
A video of the LifeVest, produced by Zoll, said, "It detects arrhythmias and can deliver treatment shocks to the heart when necessary."
But an FDA database shows thousands of complaints alleging the LifeVest malfunctioned. The FDA calls them inappropriate defibrillation events. Pezzani is among the dozens of people who reported burns or rashes.
Last year, the FDA issued a safety warning and Zoll issued a recall after a patient wearing a LifeVest died. In that and other cases, patients got a warning that the vest needed to be serviced, but the FDA said Zoll's warning did not alert patients that they could die or be injured if the vest was not replaced immediately. In a statement on its website, Zoll's president said a software revision corrected the problem.
But the company is still facing wrongful death lawsuits in Florida and Illinois from families of patients who said the LifeVest failed to deliver a shock during cardiac arrest. Zoll denies any wrongdoing and is contesting the lawsuits.

Su-Laine, I wouldn't worry about your memory too much. I didn't quote all of the places the DITA 1.1 spec. only talks about filtering using metadata elements. There are a bunch of those too.
I agree that the TC needs to decide how this should work and that we should rewrite portions of the DITA spec. to reflect that decision, whatever it is.
"In its discussion of conditional processing it repeatedly refers to attributes,and only attributes."
Sorry for the confusion. I'd forgotten what the spec actually says. But we should make a decision about how to clarify the spec, because right now it seems to be waving its arms but without prescribing things that processors should handle in a standard way. It's good to know that the OT and Arbortext Editor are working the same way.
experience level attributes of the audience element.
This attribute [platform] is equivalent to the platform element for the topic metadata.
This attribute [product] is equivalent to the prodinfo element for the topic metadata.
This attribute [otherprops] is equivalent to the othermeta element for the topic metadata.
publication, management, or metadata elements in the topic prolog.
Now having said this, Arbortext Editor doesn't allow filtering based on metadata elements. But I've always thought that we should.
