Q: Multiple simultaneous processes within one thread in java I have an app which will listen to four channels of input audio (These four channels can be from completely different sources).
My question is how to implement this efficiently.  At first I tried simply nesting the following code:
 try (TargetDataLine line = (TargetDataLine) m1.getLine(info1)) {
         line.open(format1);
            line.start();

within each other for the four channels.  This worked, however, if one source is stopped or disappears, this will prevent all child TargetDataLines from executing.
I then realized that wanting individual control, it may be better to create a thread for each input.  (I am taking an audio buffer, then deinterleaving  to get the desired channel, then converting to a float for this array to then be processed later).  So I went about doing this and had four instances of the thread running the code.
However this seemed to make the application run a lot slower, and other processes on another thread started taking a lot longer. (notably, a process I had representing a meter for the incoming audio channel went from taking about 20ms to process up to 3100 ms to process!),
audioInput(String name, String audiointerface, String selectedchannel, String totalchannel ){
    threadName = name;
    interfaceName = audiointerface;
    selectedChannel = selectedchannel;
    totalChannel = totalchannel;
}

public void run(){
   synchronized (audioInputMonitor){
    System.out.println("audipInput1 Threrad is running");
    while (continuousLoop){
        while(!pauseInput){
        try {
            System.out.println("captureaudio method loading");
            captureAudio1();
            System.out.println("Finished capture method");

        } catch (ParseException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(audioInput.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        } catch (LineUnavailableException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(audioInput.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    }
    while (pauseInput){
        try {
             System.out.println("t is waiting");
             audioInputMonitor.wait();
             System.out.println("t finished waiting");
        } catch (InterruptedException ex) {
             System.out.println("Interrupted waiting");
        }
    }
}

public void start(){
    System.out.println("Starting " + threadName);
    t = new Thread (this, threadName);
    t.start();
}

I then created four instances of this thread.  captureAudio() is a running process which opens a targetdataline with a given format for the variables sent to audioInput at the top of this code.  This process is then on a continuous loop always feeding a stream to the buffer.
Ideally, I only want to run three threads,  my application thread, one for audio IO, and one for processing the data. Is it possible to have one thread, and in that create four instances of a class which are running on a continuous loop simultaneously?  I am struggling to see how to do this efficiently. Else was I correct to begin with and need to nest four sets of start line, one within another to keep them in the same thread.

Q: MS SQL String - HTML breaking/random spaces Good morning
I have an ms sql query which builds an HTML table in a cursor. It's quite a large table (4 cols x > 100 rows).
It seems to be randomly inserting spaces inside some of the table tags like: < /td> - the tag is then being displayed in the output (sending the html/full string to email) rather than rendering the html.
The first 20/30 rows seem to be fine then there are 3 or 4 random tags throughout the table.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ivo van Hove, the world-renowned theater director, and Internationaal Theater Amsterdam visit Taiwan for the third time, bringing with them Kings of War, one of the most important and internationally well-received works of the company so far, after winning standing ovations with Othello and The Fountainhead in his previous trips. Ivo van Hove combines three Shakespeare's texts, Henry V, Henry VI and Richard III, into a single play to explore leadership and leaders' charisma. Kings of War emphasizes neither the historical background of the war between England and France nor the power struggles within the royal family, but instead focuses on the three kings who ruled England during the wartime as well as their ruling styles when confronted with the ultimate decision upon national crises. Will they reign from a feeling of empathy and justice, or on the contrary, be led by unbridled lust for power?
Scenographer Jan Versweyveld, long-term partner of the director, draws his inspiration from Winston Churchill's war room and constructs a space of secret chamber with multiple references according to the changes of its layout. Realtime and pre-recorded video footages intertwine with the setting and plots, enriching the narrative perspectives and also sharply pinpointing the core of dramatic conflicts. Eric Sleichim, the composer for The Fountainhead, designs the soundtrack of ceremonial moments with apocalysptic sound impressions of war and chaos to depict the mental landscapes of the three kings.through the headphones. It aims to explore how the audiences' movements help create the visual and audio perceptions and how the perceptions contribute to building an atmosphere of intimacy in the public domain.
In an era where the line between public and private domains gradually blurs and dissolves, the form of theater is also renovated continuously. Roland Auzet's immersing sound theater would make you re-consider the distance and relationship between individuals, space and society through overhearing the dialogues and private conversations of desires via headphones.


How can Southampton can grow its technology industry?
SOUTHAMPTON civic, business, and academic leaders will today discuss how the city could become a centre for artificial intelligence and smart automation.
As part of Southampton City Council's Future of Work in Southampton inquiry, the port city's digital economy growth will also be a topic on the agenda.
This discussion was tabled, the authority says, after the panel was informed that in the UK, jobs in the digital tech sector rose 13.2% between 2014 and 2017.
They were also told that new automation technologies in areas like artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will also create some totally new jobs in the digital technology area adding an additional £232 billion to the UK economy by 2030, making it one of the nation's biggest commercial opportunities.
Hence, experts will discuss how Southampton could benefit from this.
Civic chiefs say that the city has recently been identified as a technology 'Super Cluster' based on the level, concentration and growth of tech sector employment in the city.
The meeting – which is open to the public, will see the panel consider what more can be done to help support the growth of the digital technology sector in Southampton enabling the city to become a centre for AI, smart automation and the digital economy.
A number of guests have been invited to the inquiry meeting to inform the discussion.
They include Thomas Frame, managing director of digital consultancy Etch Group which only last week expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of the Hampshire agency Moov2.
Founded in 2006 by Mr Frame, Etch Group is a networked collective of specialist agencies whose national clients include Mind, Old Mutual, Maserati, the BBC and British Airways.
The acquisition of Holbury-based Moov2 follows on from the buy out of London-based digital agency Big Radical in 2017.
The meeting starts at 6pm in Conference Room 3 at the Civic Centre.

The most common concern of an older woman not wanting children, is that her younger man does. Over the years, I have received countless emails on this subject. The older woman is distraught with fear that she will lose her younger man, if she doesn't comply. It's a difficult transit for both parties.
The question of children, or not, can be a known deal breaker. I have researched this issue for over a decade and the variations on its outcome still amaze me. I've seen men leave the older woman they loved. They chose a younger woman for the sole purpose of having children. I've also seen the frustration many of those men encountered. They reported the price of gaining a family, was felt in the loss of their former level of communication and intimacy. I have seen younger men move on altogether. I've also seen younger men who walk away, only to return years later resigned to not having children, in lieu of having the older woman they truly love.
The most important thing for any woman, is to be true to herself. If the reason for having children is simply to please another, it is NEVER a valid reason. Everyone, including the children, will suffer for this choice. It must be a decision that is authentic and true, for all parties concerned. To seek to comply to another's wishes, will always backfire. It smacks of insecurity and desperation.
If your younger man is firm on the fact that he wants children, and you do not, then you must act in accordance with your inner truth. Yes, it maybe the best of all possible relationships. But, if it isn't in alignment with your heart's desire, it will never be good in the long run. Be true to yourself, above all. Even if this choice carries the risk of losing your partner— it is more important not to lose yourself.
But take heart. There is much more that can and will happen in the time that passes. I've seen older women make this choice, and then discover another partner who is in agreement with their lifestyle choice. I've seen the original younger man return. In order to be our best selves in any relationship, we need to be true to our inner guidance. We need to speak our truth, and live that truth. As far as I know, this is the only life we have. It is ours to create as we see fit for our personal expression. Never compromise your heart's desire for any man, or any one. No one gains in the end. By taking a pro-active choice to live your truth, no matter what the outcome, you will ultimately be happier. In the realm of living that expression, you will draw in all the right people and situations. Life goes on, and with greater results, when you are designing your highest reality.

Station Głomno was een spoorwegstation in de Poolse plaats Głomno. Het station lag aan de in 1866 geopende spoorlijn van de Ostpreußische Südbahn van Koningsbergen (sinds 1946 Kaliningrad) naar Lyck (nu Ełk) en verder naar Białystok en Brest-Litovsk.

Na 1945 werd Głomno het laatste station voor de grens met de Sovjet-Unie. Tot 1991 reden er nog personentreinen. Naar Kaliningrad vond tot 2001 alleen nog goederenvervoer plaats. Vanuit de Oblast Kaliningrad tot Głomno lag eveneens het Russische breedspoor.

IP Law Daily Inventor's challenges against USPTO were time-barred or based on mistaken statutory interpretation
Inventor's challenges against USPTO were time-barred or based on mistaken statutory interpretation
By Brian Craig, J.D.
In a challenge brought by an inventor with approximately 400 pending patent applications alleging that the USPTO acted unlawfully in denying his petition for rulemaking, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that while the federal district court in Nevada improperly dismissed the case for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, the challenges are either time-barred or based on mistaken statutory interpretation. The court found that most challenges to the 2014 amendment to Manual of Patent Examining Procedure were time-barred because the amendment was not substantive and did not restart the statute of limitations period (Hyatt v. USPTO, September 24, 2018, Hughes, T.).
Gilbert Hyatt is the named inventor on more than 70 issued patents and approximately 400 pending patent applications, all of which were filed before June 8, 1995. Due to numerous amendments, those pending applications contained approximately 115,000 total claims as of August 2015. In June 2016, the applicant filed suit challenging the denial of his petition for rulemaking in Nevada district court under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The complaint alleges that the USPTO's adoption of Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP) § 1207.04 was arbitrary and capricious, and in excess of statutory authority. The district court granted summary judgment and dismissed all of the claims, determining that it lacked subject matter jurisdiction. The applicant appealed to the Federal Circuit.
Subject matter jurisdiction. The Federal Circuit first analyzed whether the federal district court in Nevada properly dismissed the action based on subject matter jurisdiction. Although Congress has granted the Federal Circuit and the Eastern Virginia district court exclusive jurisdiction to review final Board application decisions, this grant does not apply to APA challenges to the USPTO's denial of petition for ruling. Accordingly, the federal district court in Nevada improperly granted summary judgment based on lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
Claim preclusion. The Federal Circuit then analyzed whether the applicant's prior unreasonable delay barred his claims under claim preclusion. The parties disputed whether the prior case involved the same set of transactional facts. Here, the two sets of claims relate to different sets of facts. The applicant's unreasonable delay claims arose from the USPTO's reopening of prosecution for 80 of his applications in 2013. In contrast, his present claims arose from the USPTO's denial of his petition for rulemaking in December 2015. This petitioning process is completely independent of the USPTO's application examination process. In addition, the two sets of claims could not have been conveniently tried together. Thus, the Federal Circuit determined that claim preclusion does not bar the applicant's claims.
Time-barred claims. The Federal Circuit then analyzed whether the challenges to the denial of the petition for rulemaking are time barred. The court found that the argument contending that the USPTO promulgated MPEP § 1207.04 without providing public notice and an opportunity to comment is time barred. The court also held that the USPTO's 2014 amendments to MPEP § 1207.04 did not restart the statute of limitations because the amendment did not substantively alter the rule. A procedural challenge to an agency rulemaking under the APA accrues at the time of final agency action. For substantive challenges, the right of action accrues either when the agency makes its initial decision or at the time of an adverse application of the decision against the plaintiff, whichever comes later. While most of the arguments are time-barred, the court concluded that the argument alleging MPEP § 1207.04 violates 35 U.S.C. § 6(b)(1) is timely.
Mistaken statutory interpretation. Because the other claims are time-barred, the Federal Circuit only considered the merits of the claim that the USPTO unlawfully denied his petition for rulemaking because MPEP § 1207.04 violates 35 U.S.C. § 6(b)(1) which requires the Board to "review adverse decisions of examiners upon applications for patents pursuant to section 134(a)." In analyzing the plain meaning, the Federal Circuit held that the mandatory language indicates that the Board does not have discretion over whether to review an examiner's rejection of an application. The USPTO's rules allow applicants to seek review of examiners' final rejections before a higher authority with the Board. Nothing suggested that the USPTO cannot impose conditions on the Board's ability to reach the merits of an appeal or delay the appeal. Allowing examiners to reopen prosecution does not deprive applicants of their right to appeal final examiner rejections because reopening prosecution cannot circumvent the Board's review. Once the examiner adds a new ground of rejection, the applicant may immediately appeal it along with the old grounds. Here, there was no evidence in the record that, in the wake of that decision, USPTO examiners have repeatedly reopened prosecution of the applications for the purpose of further delaying Board review. Therefore, the court held that the claims are barred based on the plain meaning of the statute.
This case is No. 2017-1722.

WASHINGTON, DC — Today, the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM) sent a letter signed by 93 bipartisan mayors from 29 states and the District of Columbia to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen calling on her to drop the proposed expansion of the "public charge" rule.
See the full text of the updated letter here.
"The U.S. Conference of Mayors in June unanimously adopted policy opposing the Trump administration's proposal to penalize lower income immigrant families by denying them visas and green cards because they have received vital non-cash benefits to which they are legally entitled. The proposed changes are creating unnecessary fear and confusion throughout our cities now and will hurt our people, our cities and our nation by limiting immigrants' growth and economic prosperity. The U.S. Conference of Mayors will do everything possible to stop this proposed policy from taking effect," said Columbia (SC) Mayor Steve Benjamin, USCM President.
"I'm a strong believer in self-sufficiency. I also believe it's right to support people during the most desperate times of their lives and provide them a reasonable opportunity to thrive in this country. Historically, our nation has flourished as a result," said Rochester Hills (MI) Mayor Bryan Barnett, USCM Vice President.
"This proposal is another perversion of our most basic values. It is un-American to penalize families for seeking help, plain and simple. On behalf of the ultimate city of immigrants, I pledge to join other Mayors from around the country to fight this with everything we've got," said New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, Chair of USCM's Cities of Opportunity Task Force.
"The Trump Administration's proposed adjustments to the public charge policy is an attack on otherwise law-abiding immigrant families. By radically expanding the list of programs considered, this proposal deliberately places an obstacle to lawful status before immigrant families, including those with U.S. citizen children, who qualify for and access critical benefits and services. This will inevitably lead to more poverty, hunger, and unmet healthcare needs for Providence residents. I'm proud to join a wave of national leaders in opposing this proposal and ask the Administration to withdraw its misguided proposal," said Providence (RI) Mayor Jorge Elorza, Co-Chair of USCM's Immigration Reform Task Force.


A number of Wasserman's agents photographed at the agency's L.A. headquarters, including 2018 'Most Powerful' inclusions Joel Wolfe, Thad Foucher, Adam Katz, Doug Hendrickson and Darren Matsubara.
The sports agency business is booming as ever-increasing media rights deals continue to pour profits into professional sports leagues, raising salaries and making seven-figure athlete contracts the norm. The firms featured in Forbes' 2018 ranking of the World's Most Valuable Sports Agencies have negotiated a collective $45.7 billion in current professional athlete contracts, netting more than $2.35 billion in commissions, an increase of almost 10% over last year.
Leading the way for the sixth consecutive year is Los Angeles based Creative Artists Agency (CAA), whose $9.3 billion in contracts under management is more than double its next closest competitor. With a $900 million uptick in deals over the last year, the agency now stands to earn $348 million in commissions from its clients — a $30 million increase from 2017. Perhaps more impressively is the rise of CAA's individual practice areas: the agency's football ($4.1 billion), basketball ($2.3 billion) and hockey ($1.9 billion) divisions rank No. 1, and its baseball ($1 billion) division ranks No. 3. CAA's football division by itself would be the fifth most valuable agency in the world.
CAA once again lands 11 agents on the World's Most Powerful Sports Agents list, including three in the top 11: No. 9 Pat Brisson (hockey), No. 10 Todd France and No. 11 Tom Condon (football). Among CAA's biggest deals include Robinson Cano's $240 million deal with the Seattle Mariners, Karl Anthony Town's $187 million deal with the Minnesota Timberwolves, Matt Ryan's $150 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons, and Sidney Crosby's $104 million deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins. In total, CAA has sixteen clients signed to contracts worth more than $100 million.
Moving up to the No. 2 most valuable agency this year is Wasserman , whose $3.7 billion in contracts net $175 million in commissions, representing a respective $1 billion and $40 million increase over last year. Founded in 2002 by Casey Wasserman, grandson of legendary talent agent Lew Wasserman, Wasserman has steadily climbed the sports agency business ranks, representing more than 750 athletes across football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, and golf. In addition to the sports included in these rankings, Wasserman represents top Olympic athletes and is unmatched in women's sports such as the WNBA (Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Breanna Stewart, Brittany Griner) and the NWSL (Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe).
Wasserman lands five agents on this year's World's Most Powerful Sports Agents list, including No. 12 Joel Wolfe and No. 18 Adam Katz (baseball), No. 29 Thad Foucher and #46 Darren Matsubara (basketball), and #42 Doug Hendrickson (football). Among the agency's top deals are Giancarlo Stanton's massive $325 million contract with the New York Yankees (the largest deal in all of professional sports), Russell Westbrook's $233 million contract with the Oklahoma City Thunder, and Andrew Luck's $124 million dollar contract with the Indianapolis Colts. Wasserman also expanded its soccer division with the purchase of European agency Mondial Promotion, giving it the strongest soccer division of any multi-sport agency in the world. Likewise, it has increased its hockey practice by acquiring equity in No. 31 Orr Hockey Group earlier this year.
Moving down a spot to No. 3 on this year's list is Excel Sports Management . Founded by in 2002, Excel is home to the No. 2 basketball, baseball and golf practices. While the agency only has three agent's in the top 50 — No. 4 Jeff Schwartz (basketball), No. 6 Casey Close (baseball), and No. 43 Mark Steinberg (golf) — its commission-per-agent is also by far the highest in the industry at $48.2 million each (which is also almost 50% greater than the list average).
This year's top 10 includes an equal split between large conglomerated multi-sport agencies like No. 4 Octagon and No. 7 Independent Sports & Entertainment , as well as single sports practices like No. 5 Boras Corporation (baseball) and No. 6 Gestifute (soccer). Octagon had a strong year, moving up a spot to No. 4 with $28 million in additional commissions, buoyed by phenom Stephen Curry's $201 million deal with the Golden State Warriors as well as solid numbers from their golf and tennis athletes.
There are three new agencies in this year's rankings: No. 19 YouFirst Sports, No. 33 Key Sports Management and No. 40 Tandem Sports + Entertainment. YouFirst Sports, a European soccer agency, acquired the remnants of ASM, the agency which came under scrutiny during the FBI's investigation into college basketball corruption. One of the biggest climbers in this year's agency rankings is RocNation Sports — headed by mogul Jay-Z — which rose eight spots to No. 25 with the negotiations of massive new contracts for clients such as Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley.
The 41 agencies featured in this year's rankings represent more than 3,600 clients, which equates to some 60% of all professional athletes in the four major US sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA). In fact, the five largest conglomerated sports agencies in the world (CAA, Wasserman, Excel Sports Management , Octagon and Independent Sports & Entertainment ) by themselves represent more than one-third of all professional athletes — proof of the incredibly high barrier to entry in the sports agency business.
The valuations in these rankings were compiled through extensive research into the client rosters and contracts negotiated by each agency in the team sports of basketball, football, baseball, hockey and soccer. The total contract value under management for each sport was then multiplied by the maximum agent commission (or average where no maximum exists) as allowed by each respective players' association. Such rates are as follows: NFL (3%), NHL (4%), NBA (4%), MLB (5%), FIFA (10%). Thus, agencies are ranked in order of the maximum commissions obtainable from the negotiated contracts, instead of the total value of the contracts. In tennis and golf, sports agents do not make commissions from their client's on-court/course earnings, but only from the marketing dollars they help generate, for which they receive an average of 20%.
While agencies also earn income from negotiating marketing and endorsement contracts for their clients in the big five sports, the overall value derived from any such deals is negligible for the average player. While no concrete data exists, Forbes estimates that average professional athlete may make an additional 1% to 2% of their overall player contract in endorsement earnings, and their agents earn just 20% to 25% of that.

San Francisco-based Envivio is slated to join Ericsson's TV and media business. The company makes software to process and distribute Internet protocol-based video.


Germany has a leading position in the development of mechatronic systems. However, manufacturers often face the following contradiction: on the one hand they themselves manufacture high-tech for the production of tomorrow and on the other hand due to the high diversity in their own production they become fragmented with to manual processes. The lack of interconnectivity complicates the cross-process and cross-domain horizontal value creation, as well as innovative interactions with industry 4.0-solutions on the shop floor. According to experience reports, today's IT-solutions are often too complex, inflexible and heavyweight. This results in an inability to scale under economic conditions and no effective support for decentralized process composition by using intelligent tools. To close this gap and thereby to obtain technological leadership, it requires a shop floor -oriented co-innovation.
By providing very low barriers of entry as well as high value and usefulness, the ScaleIT approach aims at making cyber-physical system modules, such as intelligent tools, a key factor on the shop floor of smaller companies. For this purpose, the project researches the integration of hardware components by software based adaptation and composition mechanisms. The mechanisms are built upon web technologies and an app concept, leading to responsive designs and semantic mash ups. The latter are refined for the integration of intelligent tools, the adaptation of HMIs and dynamic data stream composition on the shop floor. These are intended to encourage the use and the development of innovative hardware solutions.
Manufacturers in the domain of mechatronics (Zeiss 3DA, RoodMicrotec, fine metal, digiraster, SICK) will develop and test intelligent tools, which are characterized by low investment costs (low infrastructure investments, opportunistic implementation strategies, manageable software costs due to the app store principle, low socio-technical barriers of entry) as well as high flexibility and customizability. These companies are supported by a group of innovative IT-SMEs in the domains of gateways (Ondics), monitoring (Bull) and HMIs (Smart HMI). The research partners (KIT, FhG, Uni Stuttgart) contribute new dynamic approaches for hardware connectivity and also data and interface adaptation to the project.
Within the project, concrete processes of the user companies serve as a basis for a holistic and economic view of the entire system. Application scalability is at the core of the research even in the concrete use cases. However, this scalability is not limited to sheer scalability along size, but also implies the scaling regarding the staff's qualification as well as the scaling of simple isolated solutions and informal ad-hoc processes horizontally to complex value creation chains.
The results of the project will serve as a "showcase" demonstrating how intelligent tools, as the core of industry 4.0-solutions, can be lucratively used in the production.

I-T Olympics underway at ISU
Some 350 young computer experts from 40 Iowa high schools are ready to duel today in Ames at the annual statewide I-T Olympics.
Doug Jacobson, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Iowa State University, says the teens will be taking part in three categories of information technology, the first of which involves Lego-block robots each team has carefully assembled for battle.
Jacobson says, "The robotics competition is sumo wrestling and they each come with a sumo-wrestling robot and they place the robots on the mat, start 'em up and they have to find their opponent and try to push them off the mat."
The students are also showing off their gaming designs as they've created entertaining, educational games that teach science and math to middle schoolers. Jacobson says the most popular event during the two-day I-T Olympics involves internet security, as the students are setting up servers and tweaking their electronic firewalls to fend off hackers.
The cyber defense competition has the kids very excited, he says, as it's a very fast-growing field that gets a lot of media attention due to new attacks, viruses and worms that can strike a company or the country. Jacobson says the kids thrive on the competition and trying to best other teams from around the state, but he admits there's an underlying motive in the contest.
"During the Olympics, we'll have companies there that'll be able to talk to the kids about potential careers," Jacobson says. "We'll have people from universities and community colleges to talk to them about the educational path that they would take and the whole goal is to get more kids interested in I-T and eventually into the I-T workforce."
Competition in all three events runs today from noon to 8 P.M. and tomorrow 8 A.M. to 6 P.M. at I.S.U.'s Hilton Coliseum.

Ah, to be in Vienna at Yuletide. Streets sparkle with the lights of the Christkindlmarkts, the traditional markets that spring up for the season. Skaters circle the rink outside the picturesque Rathaus (City Hall). Merrymakers warm their hands on cups of gluhwein (mulled wine). What could possibly be missing?
Freedom of speech no longer exists in Austria, as definitively proven by the Vienna high court. This week, a judge upheld the conviction against Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff on the following charge: "denigration of religious beliefs of a legally recognized religion." In simplest terms, this means that Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff speaks the truth about Islam, and in Austria, as in other nations across the Western world currently transitioning to sharia (Islamic law), speaking the truth about Islam is not tolerated, and, more and more, is against the law.
Another entry in the Iraq "journal" -- a column from February 2004, reposted below.
The set-up: It's nearly one year after the US invasion, and nearly eight years before US troops finally withdraw from Iraq. We are at a turning point only we don't know it. In fact, the charade is becoming untenable even before the props are all in place. Looking back, naive US hopes for "equal rights" in Islamic Iraq promoted around a "women's center" in Karbala (described below) are emblematic of the policy failures to come. Almost symbolically, the following month in March 2004, the center's leading proponent, Fern Holland, a 34-year-old CPA employee, would be shot and killed by men in Iraqi police uniforms.
"How democratic will Iraqi democracy be?"
After roughly 100 Iraqi exiles, sheiks and clerics gathered in a fortified and air-conditioned tent in Iraq this week to begin piecing together their country's future, U.S. Central Command headquarters released a 13-point summary of the meeting that included the outcome of the historic first vote in Saddam-free Iraq. The Iraqi proto-body voted to meet again in 10 days, and also voted on a string of high-minded resolutions.
This second piece in my "from the vault" retrospective dates all the way back to 2002. It stands as a reminder of how assiduously George W. Bush played Islamic booster-in-chief after 9/11 -- a role that did great damage in confusing and stifling national debate. Meanwhile, though, in 2002 I'm still holding out at least some faint hope for Islamic reform, which I later came to realize would be nice and everything but was no strategy for Uncle Sam to hang everything on. This column also marks what may be the first appearance of one of this blog's all-time faves, Abu "Has George Bush Ever Actually Read the Koran?" Qatada. NB: Khaled Abou El Fadl, referred to below as an "outspoken liberal Muslim," has since been unmasked as a stealth jihadist. Oh well.
"Something to contemplate this Ramadan"
German engineering giant Siemens AG is adding heft to its campaign to win more business with the U.S. government by appointing former U.S. Gen. Stanley McChrystal to a supervisory role.
The company is expected to announce Monday that the retired four-star general will chair a board overseeing a newly created unit aimed at securing more and bigger contracts with the federal government.
What's the old line: Old soliders don't fade away; they just become ... lobbyists?
Writing a weekly column is much like keeping a journal. It preserves thoughts and events of the day that would otherwise slip or blur in memory. Now that US forces have withdrawn from Iraq, I decided to look back on some of my many weekly entries on the topic to see if any of them might be of use in taking stock of what happened -- and what didn't happen.
Here, from the vault, is a column published almost exactly 5 years ago to the day on something that had just been newly announced in Washington: the "surge."
12.23.06: "The pitfalls of `victory' in Iraq"
Sure, let's go ahead and say this new "troop surge" being bandied about Washington comes off, and tens of thousands of additional American troops pacify enough of Iraq to pull off what President Bush this week called the Iraqi dream -- "a stable government that can defend, govern and sustain itself."
I wish I could find the perfect label for the depths of denial and the heights of delusion manifested in Frederick and Kimberly Kagan's latest declarations on Iraq, published this week in The Washington Post as "opinion."
"Fantasy," is more like it. The premise of these two military advisers closely associated with the "surge" strategy in Iraq is that Western-style nation-building there failed not because the policy was an exercise in hothouse academic utopianism (leftist cant) that withered in the real-world conditions of the Islamic Republic of Iraq, but because the exercise didn't go on long enough.
Even as our troops withdraw after eight fruitless years, the husband-wife team still sees "American core interests" in Iraq, including "ensuring that Iraq contributes to the security of the Middle East, rather than undermining it through state collapse, civil war or the establishment of a sectarian dictatorship."
Is that all? Ensuring that Iraq doesn't collapse, enter civil war or establish a sectarian dictatorship requires an indefinite occupation on a colossal scale (why?) or the total transformation of Iraqi Man (read: Muslim Man), which is the Frankensteinian basis of "winning hearts and minds," the cornerstone of counterinsurgency theory (COIN).
If I were a psychiatrist I could find the perfect label for the depths of denial or the heights of delusion that manifest themselves in Frederick and Kimberly Kagan's latest declarations on Iraq published in the Washington Post as "opinion." "Fantasy" is a more like it. Their premise is that the American nation-building exercise in Iraq failed not because nation-building is pure academic utopianism (leftist cant) that withers in real-world conditions (Islam), but because the exercise didn't go on long enough.
They pre-emptively score Prez Obama for the happy talk that's the predictable outcome of his meeting today with Iraq's Maliki. Fair enough. The image of Iraq he is sure to present, they write, "is a mirage." But if we're talking about disconnection from reality, the Kagans have once again pulled their own plug.
Sapper Elijah Bond, 24, was born in Havant, Hampshire and grew up in St Austell, Cornwall. He joined the Corps of Royal Engineers in August 2008. He died from wounds sustained from an IED in Afghanistan on Thursday.
"It was whilst on an engineer reconnaissance patrol helping to plan vital infrastructure for the local population that he paid the ultimate price."
Last month, I noted that Democratic Sens. Claire McCaskill of Missouri and Jim Webb of Virginia had written to national archivist David S. Ferriero on Nov. 7, asking him to open the records of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, which Ferriero has summarily sealed for 20 years. Guess what? Webb's office tells me it still hasn't received a reply. Where's Wikileaks when you need it?
It's been about a year since the furor crescendoed over Wikileaks (see here, here, here, for example). Actually, "furor" is too mild a term. This was baying for blood. (Charles Krauthammer and Mike Huckabee talked about "execution," while Sarah Palin practically called in a drone strike herself.) Then and now, I consider the revelations of lying, incompetence and betrayal of foundational principle, as revealed by the Wikileaks organization's massive dumps of classified documents, to be a public service.
Question: When the Libyan "military" comes to US staff colleges -- a real possibility-- do they get to bring their flags of al Qaeda with them?
This is a joke, right? I'm dreaming, aren't I? Either give me a pitchfork, or wake me up when it's over.
The United States is in discussions with Libya over ways to help rebuild the country's military, which the U.S. military considers essential to unify the country and bring rival militias under national control.
"We are working closely with the Afghan government to wean the Afghan economy off international assistance and lay the foundation for sustainable, private-sector-led growth."
-- Thomas Nides, Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources and cheerleader for "the New Silk Road."
From Pakistan's The Nation: "OIC, Russia and China Put Weight Behind Pakistan"
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), China and Russia rallied behind Pakistan expressed "deep shock" over Nato airstrikes that left 24 Pakistani soldiers dead and called for an investigation into the incident.
Afghanistan: "Unfortunately, the Expectations of the People Have Not Been Met"
Dunno why I never thought of it before, but Hillary Clinton, with her diplomatic background in cattle futures, Whitewater and shaking down donors to her husband's library-foundation in exchange for political favors, is perfectly attuned to the needs and desires of corrupto-stans and baksheeshlands....Uh-oh.
"Afghans Say Assistance Will Be Needed for Years," the NYT reports from the Bonn conference on Afghanistan. As in $10 billion per year until 2024, says Karzai. But there's a problem: Most of the money goes down the drain and/or into McMansions -- Mo-Mansions? --in Dubai for corrupto-klepto-baksheesho-crats.
Speaker after speaker — including Mr. Karzai — described corruption and poor governance as obstacles to the country's development, factors that have caused reluctance among many countries about sending aid, especially given the economic crises in Europe and the United States.
Had a chance to speak with Frank Gaffney on Secure Freedom Radio yesterday about Afghanistan, what they're calling the New Silk Road, what I'm calling "the new Afghan man," COIN, three cups and more.
C.W. Callahan, chief of staff for Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, who set the September 14, 2011 guidelines prohibiting visitors to "wounded, ill, and injured partners in care" from giving away or using Bibles in the hospital.
Walter Reed National Military Medical Center said they are rescinding a policy that prohibits family members of wounded military troops from bringing Bibles or any religious reading materials to their loved ones.
"Hey Jack, which way to Mecca?"
Having written countless columns and blog posts arguing that the see-no-Islam counterinsurgency strategy (COIN) has led to failure in two wars in the umma and the dhimmification of the U.S. military, it's almost funny to see the debate more or less officially joined over my recent column on what appears to be simply the gross-out, PG-13 movie topic of peeing toward Mecca. Or, rather, not peeing toward Mecca.

Danielle Lloyd was abused as a teenager like Rihanna
By Larry Putzgerald March 3, 2009
In an upcoming documentary, UK model Danielle Lloyd reveals that she too was the victim of abuse as a teen. Lloyd says she was in a two-year relationship with a guy who beat her so badly one time that she was sent to the hospital.
The glamour model admitted she thought her abusive ex was a 'lovely, generous' person when they first met, but she soon fell victim to his controlling behaviour.
She said: 'He'd call me a slag. Soon he started hitting me.
'Every time, he'd cry and say it wouldn't happen again. Towards the end he was hitting me near enough every day.'
Following her final attack, Danielle lost consciousness and woke up surrounded by blood.
She recalled: 'I'd been out cold for three or four minutes… there was blood all over me, all over the bed, all over the walls.'
Danielle eventually split with her ex and sought counseling. Afterward, life couldn't have gotten better. She went on to win Miss Great Britain only to have her title stripped when she posed for Playboy. Now she dates soccer players and continues to show her tits. If Danielle can do it, Rihanna can too. One day she may even date an LT or a Tom Brady. Dare to dream, Rihanna. Just like Danielle did!

Dorico 5 Most Wanted
Michel_Edward January 21, 2023, 2:23pm #358
Thank-you for that.
I tried it out and it works beautifully.
And I feel incredibly stupid not having realized this worked that way. It would have saved me SO much time!!!
I will amend what I had originally written then!
An extra option would be nice:
Being able to define, project-wide, or program-wide, where exactly end-points of lines (and glissandi) end up.
For example, I wouldn't want a line to end touching a staff line. It creates a certain visual confusion, so a bit of white space would be nice.
However, this will vary depending on whether the diagonal line is coming from above or from below.
Obviously, from above I would want it ending a bit higher than the target note, and not exactly parallel to the notehead.
And coming from below it would need to end slightly below the target notehead.
This would also apply to the starting notehead, where the diagonal line would begin higher if going up, and lower if going down.
Romanos January 23, 2023, 1:29pm #359
I would love it if, when inputting onto both staves of a choir reduction instrument simultaneously, four voice textures would ignore the default split point and always assign 2+2 top down.
cparmerlee January 23, 2023, 2:11pm #360
Romanos:
always assign 2+2 top down
I could see that being very useful. As a more general request, maybe there could be a way to designate exactly how many notes to put on each staff when entering into multiple staves. Generally speaking, when I use that (amazing) feature, I just want one note per player. But every once in a while, I wish I could put 2 notes into one of the staves. It is a rare thing for me, but if they are handling the 2+2 case, why not also handle the 1+2+1+1 case and others? This could come up on string parts with double stops.

Support for Greek letters in Academico
Aleatoric Notation
Possibility to set a style for the cover page(s) across projects
Audio File(s) playback + possibility to depict spectrum and/or waveform for music with electronics
OSC send/receive to integrate with SuperCollider
Warnings when there are inconsistencies (like change of divisi within a system)
Ricardo_Teles January 24, 2023, 10:05pm #363
As a suggestion, there is already something implemented in Dorico, in the current version, which can be improved, in my opinion.
It's "Play all chord notes when one is selected".
With some implement (improvement) for this function, it would be possible to hear 4-way Block chords written for a BigBand…
To improve this feature, I would like to suggest a possibility to create a shortcut to enable/disable it. Also, it would be great to use the left and right keys (arrows) to be able to play a specific selection of instruments (more than one instrument, in the current version this one only plays the selected instrument).

dspreadbury January 24, 2023, 11:43pm #364
Ricardo, I think you're basically asking for scrub playback, which has been requested many times and which is on our list of things we plan to add in future versions.
Ricardo_Teles January 25, 2023, 12:51am #365
Yes Daniel, scrub playback is the idea.
AMazedBrane January 25, 2023, 4:59pm #366
Don't know if this has been asked or not, but being able to pick a custom background color for frames (text frames especially) would be great (unless I missed something for now it's possible for the text to have BG color but not the whole text frame, which would allow more "appealing" layouts when doing methods/instructional stuff)
johnkprice January 25, 2023, 6:39pm #367
You could create a graphics frame, fill it with a solid color graphic, create a text frame on top of the graphics frame, and enter the text you want:
thanks for the workaround !
Will probably use that until it's implemented, but it might be tedious as there's no magnetic layout for frames so getting them the same size and position takes extra steps…
Which leads me actually to the next request that is magnetic layout for frames
Derrek January 25, 2023, 8:35pm #369
Size and position of frames should be editable by numeric settings in the Properties section of the lower panel.
yeah I know that, it's just that it's very tedious to do that for each frame versus a magnetic layout or being able to duplicate frames (like having a "duplicate" shortcut/right click for instance or just with cmd-C/cmd-v)
Wensleydale January 26, 2023, 10:48am #371
When you enter a note by pressing its letter name on the computer keyboard, I understand that by default Dorico puts it in the octave where it is closest to the previous note. I would suggest that this rule should be overridden if it would put the note outside the range of the instrument in question.
EDIT: maybe also if it would put the note higher than a note in a higher voice, or lower than a note in a lower voice? But I suppose it might not be clear whether one voice is "higher" than another, at any rate if there are more than two voices.

Coronavirus cases surge 27% in New York. Here are the latest figures.
Mike Stucka , Joseph Spector | New York State Team
Watch: Gov. Andrew Cuomo discusses COVID plan in Rochester
Gov. Andrew Cuomo gave a COVID-19 briefing in Rochester on Nov. 25, 2020.
Joseph Spector, Albany Bureau Chief
New coronavirus cases leaped in New York in the week ending Saturday, rising 27.3% as 43,615 cases were reported.
The previous week had 34,272 new cases of the virus that causes COVID-19. On Saturday, New York's infection rate hit 4.27%, the highest since May.
New York ranked 42nd among the states where coronavirus was spreading the fastest, a USA TODAY Network analysis of Johns Hopkins University data shows.
"We are entering a challenging period of sustained COVID-19 spread across this state," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in a statement Saturday.
"It's up to you, your neighborhood and your community to slow the spread. Our micro-cluster strategy can target very small areas with restrictions, so the actions each of us take and the actions our neighbors take may seem small, but they make a big difference."
Cuomo pointed out that New York still has one of the nation's lowest infection rates in the nation and its highest testing capacity, with more than 200,000 tests per day.
New York's microclusters with the highest infection rates, which includes parts of Westchester and Monroe counties, had a positive testing rate of 5.65% on Friday and outside the focus zone areas was 3.45%
In the latest week, the U.S. added 1.1 million cases of coronavirus, a decrease of 3.9% from the week before. Across the country, 16 states had more cases in the latest week than they did in the week before.
Within New York, the worst weekly outbreaks on a per-person basis were in Chemung, Erie and Allegany counties.
Adding the most new cases overall were Suffolk County, with 4,003 cases; Erie County, with 3,886 cases; and Brooklyn, with 3,849. Weekly case counts rose in 58 counties from the previous week.
The worst increases from the prior week's pace were in Suffolk, Nassau and Monroe counties.
>> See how your community has fared with recent coronavirus cases
The share of New York test results that came back positive was 3.3% in the latest week, compared with 2.9% in the week before, a USA TODAY Network analysis of COVID Tracking Project data shows.
In the latest week, 1.3 million tests were administered in the state compared to 1.8 million the week before
Experts say it is important to look at the share of tests that come back positive, not just case counts, to get a better idea of whether the rate of new infections is changing or if differences in testing are playing a role.
>> Track coronavirus cases across the United States
The World Health Organization says places should be conducting enough tests to have fewer than 5% coming back positive. Places where the percentage is higher could struggle to complete contact tracing soon enough to prevent spread of the virus.
Across New York, cases fell in four counties, with the best declines in Columbia, Franklin and Lewis counties.
In the state, 218 people died in the latest week. In the previous week, 286 people died.
A total of 634,438 people in New York have tested positive for the coronavirus since the pandemic began, ranking fifth among states, and 34,514 people have died from the disease, either confirmed or suspected, which is the most in the nation Johns Hopkins University data shows.
In the country, 13 million people have tested positive, and 266,047 people have died.

The April Club Day of the Oakleigh Go Kart Racing Club is this Sunday (29th April 2018). Please check the details on the Race Entry page for more details.
The Monash University team will be using the track and facilities at Oakleigh this Thursday March 8 2018 from 7:30am to 5:00pm. The track will be available for OGKRC members to use as normal.
The first club day of 2018 is finally here. Head over to the race entry page to view all race day details.
Due to the unavailability of key personnel on Saturday 24 2018 we have had to change the February Club Day to be Sunday 25 2018 (Day Meeting Only).
We apologize to our members who may have made arrangements or wanted to run under lights but unfortunately without Officials we are unable to run our race meetings.
Here we are for Day 2 of Junior Top Guns in 2018 – a cloudy Saturday with a forecast that includes the phrases "rain" and "hail" – so look out! There might be more exciting weather on the way. We also need to thank the generous sponsors of our Top Guns meeting who include Page Bros RV, Baron Karts, Melbourne Kart Centre, Kerbrider, Kingston Trophies, J&A Kart Tuning, Shamick Racing and of course DPE Kart Technology for their generous donation of the Arrow chassis that will be drawn following tonight's presentation – their support has covered many years of Junior Top Guns. See the end of the report for details of the lucky winner!! Also the shots that are part of the report are provided by Andrew Daley of AKD photography – see more of his work at AKD photos on the internet.
I don't think anyone turned a wheel with a slick on it last night, so let's hope we get at least some dry racing today. Qualifying began on a wet track but the rain had stopped, by the time we went racing it was damp but not raining.
Note that at the end of each class I have listed the overall winners who are decided by the results from both nights of racing. Please also note that while the combined results are confirmed, the report itself lists karters as they crossed the line and subsequent penalties may have changed the race result.
Here we are again at Oakleigh in January – it's Junior Top Guns time. I found myself reading the start of the 2017 Friday report when I got to the track today, and was struck by the similarity in the weather a year ago – humid, hot, and then just as Qualifying was getting set to begin it poured with rain – same in 2018. By the time Clerk of Course Adam Bourke finished Drivers' Briefing today he was shouting to be heard above the rain drumming on the grid roof. Better than the days when we didn't have a roof I guess!
This must be about the 15th year Oakleigh has run Junior Top Guns and it remains a great way to kick off the year. Young karters get the chance to race under lights and generally blow the cobwebs out. Lots of competitors have gone on to bigger things. I can remember watching Matthew Brabham race Junior Light here and Junior Clubman; many others have had a crack at Top Guns at Oakleigh and below I have included a shot of a young Scott McLaughlin in his 2008 breakout year in karting. He began the year by winning Junior Clubman at Oakleigh's Top Guns then went on to win the Vic Open in the same class – and has since done one or two other handy things in motor racing! Who knows what the future holds for this year's KA3 winner.
In the lead up to the 2018 Junior Top Guns races, the track will be closed to all senior drivers from 5pm Wednesday January 10 2018. The track will reopen for normal use on Sunday January 14 2018.
The 2018 racing calendar has been updated.
The track will be closed from 7 pm Tuesday January 9 2018 for urgent track maintenance.
It is expected that the track will reopen as normal at 8 am Wednesday January 10 2018.
Entries for the 2018 Junior Tops Guns are open, and the supplementary regulations are available for download.

Q: How to make Additional css changes global all across the web pages on WordPress website? So, I have my website on WordPress and I'm using Astra theme. I have implemented certain changes using Additional CSS, but the changes seem to have implemented over the homepage only and not on other pages so how do I make the similar changes all across the website?
This is my website https://www.decodedigitalmarket.com
Thanks!

A: I'm not sure exactly what the selectors in Astra or elementor but, you'll have blocks of css like:
#post-423 > header > h1 {
    display: none;
}

If I wanted this specific rule to be sitewide I'd remove #post-423 > from that. If you provide us some of your custom CSS rules we could make a specific answer.


HIGGINSVILLE, Mo. — The Tipton Cardinals had one top-four finisher Saturday at the Class 1 District 3 Tournament.
Drew Loganbill took fourth place at 138 pounds, finishing with a 2-2 record to qualify for the Class 1 state tournament, which begins Saturday at Mizzou Arena.
After dropping his semifinals match with a loss by fall to North Callaway's Jadon Henry, Loganbill sealed a berth at state with a win by fall in :54 against Trenton's Dakota Wendt in the consolation semifinals. He ended districts with a loss by fall to Marceline's Mason Barnett in the third-place match.
Loganbill has a season record of 25-15.
The Cardinals had three wrestlers come up one win short of qualifying for state: Chris Corley at 152, Caleb Myers at 170 and Ian Clifford at 285.
Corley won back-to-back wrestleback matches by fall before losing by fall to Missouri Military Academy's WrayVauze Givens in the consolation semifinals. Corley finished 2-2 at districts.
Myers lost by fall in his semifinal match, as well as in the consolation semifinals, to finish 1-2 at districts.
In his only match Saturday, Clifford lost by fall to Macon's Caden Phillips to go 0-2 in districts.
Other district finishers for the Cardinals include Evan Kuttenkuler at 113 (0-2), Louis Tricarico at 120 (0-2), David Sutton at 132 (0-2), Nakoda Savage at 160 (0-2), Daniel Sutton at 195 (0-2) and Levi Bryant at 220 (0-2).
Tipton finished 14th in the team standings with 24 points. Marceline was the district champion with 205.5 points, while Brookfield took second with 129.5.

The Honor 10 Lite is interesting for its appearance with a virtually frameless screen, productive filling, proprietary technology GPU Turbo 2.0 and an intelligent dual camera.
Honor 10 Lite is equipped with an elongated 6.21-inch display with an aspect ratio of 19.5: 9 and a resolution of 2340×1080 pixels. Front camera rendered in a small teardrop-shaped notch, which does not take a lot of space. Like all the latest devices of the company, the novelty supports some functions to reduce the load on the user's eyes. Also, in the settings, you can enable smart resolution changes to increase device autonomy.
The smartphone is built by the eight-core processor Kirin 710, made on 12-nm process technology. The chipset includes an independent image processing module and a digital signal processor that speeds up the processing of photos and improves the quality of images.
