Marta María Rivera de la Cruz (Lugo, 4 de junio de 1970) es una escritora, política y periodista española en lengua castellana. Desde 2021 es consejera de Cultura, Turismo y Deporte del Gobierno de la Comunidad de Madrid.

Biografía

Hija del periodista lucense Francisco Rivera Cela, estudió periodismo en la Facultad de Ciencias de Información de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid (1988-1993); allí mismo haría un posgrado. En esa época integró el equipo fundador de la revista literaria electrónica Espéculo.

Desde su primera novela la ha acompañado el éxito. Comenzó su carrera literaria en 1996 con El refugio, que resultó ganadora del II Premio de Novela Corta Joven y Brillante. A partir de entonces, paralelamente a seguir escribiendo novelas, ha publicado obras juveniles, cuentos y ensayos, además de incursionar en el guion cinematográfico. Las siguientes novelas obtuvieron algunos galardones relevantes: el Premio Ateneo Joven de Sevilla de Novela en 1998 por Que veinte años no es nada —en la que relataba la pasión irrevocable que Luisa siente por un famoso escritor, Cósimo Herrera, veinte años mayor que ella—; con En tiempo de prodigios, resultó finalista del Premio Planeta 2006, que dos años después había alcanzado para entonces una venta de 130.000 ejemplares, convirtiéndose en una de las obras más populares de los últimos años.

Marta Rivera de la Cruz ha desarrollado también actividades como editora: fue responsable de la antología Cuentos clásicos de Navidad (Espasa, 2003) y del libro La ciudad de las columnas, de Alejo Carpentier, publicada en 2004 por la misma editorial y para el cual escribió una introducción.

Es profesora de escritura creativa en la escuela de creación literaria Hotel Kafka de Madrid y colaboradora habitual de diversos medios, tales como El País Semanal, el programa de radio Al sur de la semana de la cadena COPE, La Sexta Noche (2013-2014) y Más vale tarde (2013-2014) en La Sexta, No nos moverán y Al Quite en Castilla-La Mancha Televisión (2013-actualidad) y Un tiempo nuevo en Telecinco (2014-actualidad).

Ha sido miembro del partido Ciudadanos de la Comunidad de Madrid hasta el 7 de mayo de 2021, día en el que se dio de baja del partido.

Rivera fue diputada en el Congreso de los Diputados entre 2016 y 2019. Posteriormente fue elegida consejera de Cultura y Turismo de la Comunidad de Madrid en el Gobierno de coalición PP-Cs presidido por Isabel Díaz Ayuso. Tras la ruptura del pacto de gobierno en marzo de 2021, Marta Rivera fue cesada en su puesto al igual que el resto de consejeros de Ciudadanos. Posteriormente, Rivera se dio de baja del partido y tras las elecciones a la Asamblea de Madrid de 2021, la reelegida presidenta Isabel Díaz Ayuso la volvió a nombrar consejera de Cultura, Deporte y Turismo.

A pesar de escribir exclusivamente en castellano, en 2013 fue seleccionada por Secretaría General de Igualdad como  única representante del mundo de las letras para homenajear Cantares Gallegos de Rosalía de Castro en el 150.º aniversario de su publicación.

Posiciones
Rivera de la Cruz apoyó públicamente en febrero de 2008 las tesis de «Galicia Bilingüe», organización a favor de la derogación inmediata en la comunidad autónoma de Galicia del Decreto 124/2007, regulador de la aplicación de la Ley 3/1983 de normalización lingüística en el entorno educativo.

American Bridge 21st Century Statement on the Georgia Gubernatorial Election
As the GOP gears up for the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election, they will have to contend with an ugly, divisive primary that will require candidates to embrace deeply unpopular positions while the Democratic Party unites behind Stacey Abrams.
Here's why Georgia Republicans are in trouble:
A messy, chaotic Republican primary exacerbated by Trump's revenge tour. After Democrats picked up Georgia and two U.S. Senate seats, Georgia Republicans are struggling with an unpopular governor seeking reelection and a former President hell-bent on seeking revenge. The Georgia GOP will have to deal with the ire of the former president and the potential fallout if failed former Senator David Purdue decides to enter into the race.
The embrace of out-of-touch, politically toxic policies opposed by the majority of Georgians. Kemp and Republican leadership at the state level have refused to expand Medicaid, forced through a restrictive voter suppression bill, opposed access to safe, legal abortions, and fought against vaccine mandates.
A Democratic Party united behind Stacey Abrams. After running a historic campaign in 2018, Stacey Abrams mobilized millions of voters to flip Georgia blue in 2020 and she will do so again in 2022. With her leadership, Democrats are united in our fight to ensure every child has access to quality education, every worker has affordable healthcare, and every Georgian can share in the benefits of an economy that leaves no one behind.
"After years of failed leadership at the state level thanks to inept Republican politicians, Georgians are ready for change," said American Bridge 21st Century President Jessica Floyd. "The distinctions between the two parties could not be more clear. While Republicans are embroiled in an ugly primary filled with nasty political attacks, Democrats are united in our efforts to flip Georgia blue. And while Republicans refuse to expand Medicaid, have passed the most egregious voter suppression laws in the country, and continue to oppose reproductive rights, Democrats stand for access to quality health care, affordable child care, and an economy that works for all."
"Now, with Stacey Abrams leading the gubernatorial ticket, Democrats are prepared to mobilize millions of voters through an unparalleled grassroots movement that will build upon her historic campaign in 2018 and the party's triumphs in 2020."
During the 2020-2021 Georgia Senate runoffs, American Bridge 21st Century invested nearly $10 million in a paid media program targeting rural voters and partnered with grassroots groups like 1000 Women Strong that helped register and mobilize voters in Georgia's pivotal 2nd Congressional District.
Ahead of the 2022 midterms, American Bridge launched Bridge Together, a new initiative that aims to support grassroots organizations in Georgia, Arizona, and Pennsylvania that will build sustained engagement before election day. In addition to this voter engagement program, American Bridge launched a $100 million paid media campaign that features small business owners and parents in key states like Georgia who have been helped by President Biden and congressional Democrats' economic agenda.

COVID Scare Hits SVP
Superstar Mahesh Babu's fans are eagerly waiting for the actor's upcoming film Sarkaru Vaari Paata. The movie is in the production stage for the last one and a half years. The COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdowns are affecting the works of this film.
A few days back, it was announced that the first song from the film will be out during Sankranthi festive season. However, the makers now stated that they are unable to release updates due to the prevailing COVID-19 situation.
The makers have released an official press note the other day. "Due to the unforeseen turns of events outspread of COVID within the team, there would be a delay in the updates of Sarkaru Vaari Paata," it was stated in the note.
"Further communication would be given at the soonest possible. Hope you understand. Wish you all a very Happy Sankranthi. Stay home. Stay safe. And mask up," the makers further added.
It has to be noted that Mahesh Babu, the film's lead actress Keerthy Suresh and music director Thaman have been tested positive for the coronavirus recently.
Thus, fans have to wait a bit longer to witness the music album and other updates of Sarkaru Vaari Paata.

Q: Using a non-COM object from a COM dll A Visual Studio C++ solution is made of 2 projects both in C++:

*

*Client  produces a client.exe

*Algo produces a algo.dll

Client and Algo communicate together via a COM Layer, hence Algo is a COM dll.
I want to add a function in Algo.dll and call it directly from Client, avoiding the COM Layer, but did not succeed to solve the "unresolved symbol" link errors when building the Client.exe

What was tried ?
In the Algo project, I've added the LIBRARY_EXPORT preprocessor definition and the following files:
TestFile.h
#ifdef LIBRARY_EXPORTS
#    define LIBRARY_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#    define LIBRARY_API __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

extern "C"  LIBRARY_API bool __stdcall TestFunction();

TestFile.cpp
extern "C"  LIBRARY_API bool __stdcall TestFunction()
{
    return true;
}

In the client project, there is a call to TestFunction();
I get an link error when building the client:
unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) bool __cdecl TestFunction(void)
Apparently, I do not get correctly how to export/import my function.

A: You need to add algo.lib to the linker input files of client.exe

Home » Omega-3 claims losing share in dairy segment
Omega-3 claims losing share in dairy segment
By Monica Watrous
DUIVEN, THE NETHERLANDS – Omega-3 claims are slipping in the dairy sector, according to Innova Market Insights, a market research firm.
While the number of dairy products with omega-3 claims has increased over a five-year period, their share of total dairy launches, excluding dairy alternative drinks, has dipped to 1.5% in 2013 from 2.4% in 2008.
"While awareness of the potential health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids has risen over the years, recent tightening up of claims legislation has tended to decrease the use of this type of claim in relation to specific benefits," said Lu Ann Williams, director of innovation at Innova Market Insights. "Terms such as 'high in omega-3s,' 'contains omega-3s,' 'rich in omega-3s,' have continued to be used, but links to heart health, brain and cognitive health, eye health, etc. have been much less in evidence, with companies relying more on existing consumer knowledge about potential benefits."
Approximately 70% of Americans are aware that omega-3 fatty acids may promote heart health, according to the 2013 Food & Health Survey from the International Food Information Council Foundation.
Driven by a higher interest in functional and healthy products, North America boasts the largest number of dairy launches with omega-3 messaging, representing nearly 35% of the global total, as well as the highest share in terms of total dairy launches, with 3.8%, ahead of the Asian market with over 2.6%.
Interest in omega-3 fortified milks has risen in the United States, where nearly 8% of milk launches featured omega-3 claims, compared with the global figure of 3% in the year ended October 2013.
Yellow fats and milks account for just over 80% of global launches using omega-3 or DHA claims in 2013. Omega-3 claims were featured in just over 10% of yellow fats introductions, while 3% of milk product launches included the claim.
In April 2013, Boulder Brands launched from its Smart Balance brand blended butter sticks with omega-3 fatty acids. The sticks contain real butter and a blend of palm fruit, canola and purified fish oils, plus plant sterols to "help block cholesterol in the butter," according to the product's packaging.
Positioning of yellow fats has changed in recent years, with cholesterol- and heart health-related claims giving way to more generalized health descriptors, Innova said.
"Although product activity in omega-3 fortified dairy products has been rather less in evidence in recent years, clearly there is still interest in the sector and potential for further development, particularly considering the wide range of different health benefits associated with it," Ms. Williams said.
Food Products Ingredient Applications Trends Dairy Dairy Ingredients Fats and Oils
F.D.A. prohibits some omega-3 claims
Researchers put omega-3 oils found in fish into plants
Flax, chia, algae show potential in omega-3 market
Baking seen losing share to 'new age' snacks

Day 20 – 2/4/08
We're having a problem with a juror! Someone said something to a relative. Judge says there's nothing terrible about that.
Albee is arguing to let the juror go, even if the comment was innocuous, such as the length of the trial.
Judge-people have invested 22 days in the trial. He's done his duty. The statement may be inaccurate.
Judge not going to dismiss the jury willy-nilly.
A poster posted on CNN. Said that she was the sister of one of the jurors. Judge got a hold of her, and now wants to talk to her brother, the juror. (Re: Jean Casarez)
Jean is now talking about the sister of the juror posting on TTV boards - Judge wants to read all the posts and blogs about this.
Judge is reserving his decision until he reads all the blogs himself. Then, he'll decide if he should call the juror in. (Sister posted she thinks Mark is guilty and had tons of questions to ask after the trial). More on this later.
Cross continues~
Albee asks Det. Ratzburg about Julie's date book - some of the entries for certain dates. Did Julie attend all those activities she entered? Det. Ratzburg doesn't know.
Week of Dec 7 - Things about "Little Bears" being the daycare Douglas went to. Det Ratzburg didn't know what "Little Bears" was.
Activities Julie wrote in seemed to be more for her kids, not necessarily hers. Except for the book club scheduled for the 7th.
Going now to the recorded interview in April 1999. Portion in interview (not shown last week) where Mark is crying....
Objection - this is hearsay. Judge sustains, even though Albee of course fights. Goes to his demeanor. Judge still sustains. Judge instructs jury.
Teehee, Albee cries now.
Sidebar. Court is on break, but alas, arguments ensue.
Albee still not giving up on being able to put in Mark's tears in the 4/99 interview, and other things Mark said. Makes Mark look like a less trustworthy person.
Albee is trying to get in some of Mark's self-serving statements without Mark having to get on the stand. He's just dying to get testimony in about weepy Mark.
Jambois comes back strong - Albee is foreclosed from getting in anything outside the stipulated amounts of the interview they had agreed on.
Judge asks if Mark takes the stand will that still be inadmissible? No, said Jambois, drool dripping off his chin in anticipation of Mark on the stand.
Jambois said that what Albee wants to get in about Mark is irrelevant because it's hearsay. Judge agrees.
Jambois strong on not allowing in the portion of the interview where Mark cries because it is hearsay. And it's outside the stipulation of the parts of the interview the attorneys agreed on.
Now Judge says he agreed with Albee's statement, but he's going to sustain the objection.
Judge states that he does not embrace Jambois' theories about it coming up at a later time.
Albee now says he wanted the whole video, but he stipulated to what was shown!
He has a problem with not showing more because he has a problem with Aaron Dillard's testimony, so he wants it in.
Now they're going in to whether or not Aaron Dillard saw that transcript - Albee is going to try and prove he did. Jambois said the only way they'd be able to prove it is if Mark gets on the stand and says he showed it to Aaron Dillard.
Woo - it's a dog fight!
Albee calls Aaron Dillard a liar, and the only thing he has to prove is that Dillard had opportunity. Jambois said the only thing Dillard said he read was a few newspaper articles......
Judge said he's not letting this in. Albee says the only thing he has to prove is Dillard had opportunity to look at that transcript. He was on the same cellblock.
Judge asks Albee what he is going to bring in re: Dillard's statement to prove he had opportunity to read that transcript.
Page 142 - mentions about Mark rolling Julie over, the pillow in her face.
Jambois says Albee will include Mark saying he didn't call EMS because "Julie didn't want me to". Judge asks how this relates to what he's going to prove about Aaron Dillard.
Albee is going to try to get in Mark's self-serving statements in that transcript as much as he can under the guise of trying to prove that Aaron Dillard had opportunity to see the transcript. Judge calls him on it!
Jury back in. Albee still on cross exam of Det Ratzburg.
Albee asks about interview of Joan Colby/Wise in Appleton. Former secretary of Ed Klug.
Objection - hearsay. Judge says it sounds "hearsay-ish" Side bar. Sustained.
Det. Ratzburg gave Ms Colby some advice - she should not talk to defense investigator. Is Det Ratzburg aware that both parties have the right to interview witnesses - yes. But witnesses had said that they had been harassed by defense investigators ENOUGH TO CALL THE POLICE!!!
Albee irate! Yelling at Ratzburg! Objection!
Albee said his investigators have the right to ask questions, right? Ms Colby said they had left a voice mail, not that she had been harassed.
Did Ms Colby feel harassed? Did she express that? No.
By telling her that she shouldn't speak to the def investigators he was interfering with the def' ability to investigate.
He said that he had told her to beware because Appleton police had been called because of harassment.
Albee getting stymied on this - calling for speculation and hearsay.
Is Det. Ratzburg aware of any specific complaints of harassment? Yes - Klugs did.
Now Albee is stuck on getting Det. Ratzburg to say that he deprived the defense of investigation of witnesses. Accuses Det. Ratzburg of OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE! Det. Ratzburg says he didn't tell her not to talk to def investigators, he cautioned her. There had been issues about def investigators contacting other witnesses and harassing them. He did not tell her not to talk to them.
Det. Ratzburg says Albee is putting words his mouth.
Now we're back at hearsay because of what happened that was harassment of witnesses.
What did the Klugs say the defense investigator did? He was in their driveway, ringing their doorbell, parked down the street, watched them. Klugs didn't know who he was, they were scared.
Re-direct
Goes to April, 1999 videotaped statement by Mark Jensen.
Det. Ratzburg saw the video taped statement, does he think he was too harsh on Mark Jensen? Objection. Overruled, but Jambois changed the question...
About the videotaped questioning of Mark Jensen about sexual issues... raised the issue of Kelly.
Who's Kelly? Mark: This was all work stuff. You're over my head here.
Mark said: She is my bosses' secretary.
Is this all work related? Doesn't look work related....."Beat on my drums all day"
Det. Ratzburg just was asking and trying to beat down Mark to get him to answer about Who Kelly was. He wanted to know about Kelly because of possible motive.....
Mark lied to Det. Ratzburg over and over and over again. He'd tell a little bit of truth. Det. Ratzburg doesn't feel he was too hard on Mark in this issue.
Jambois reading lines of e-mails between Mark and Kelly, that Det. Ratzburg asked Mark about in his relationship with Kelly.
Is it a common thing for a suspect to weave truths and lies into answers of questions in a police interview? Yes.
Jambois pointing out Mark's lies in the police interview about his relationship with Kelly. Mark is evasive and outright lying about his relationship with Kelly in that interview. Jambois is asking Det. Ratzburg about his questioning of Mark, and if it was proper investigative procedures.
Reading lots of the transcript lines. All lies by Mark about his relationship with Kelly prior to Julie's death.
Mark indicated in December of '98 that Julie didn't use the computer that much. Mark said Julie used it for Quicken, and that He used it for work.
Back to the April interview - Det. Ratzburg asked Mark about what he had said in December about Julie's computer usage, that she didn't use it (except for Quicken). But there is a lot of stuff about poisoning information and about Paxil. Mark said he had no idea what that is - NO.
Ratzburg said to Mark - "Am I wrong - you said she never really messed with the computer?" Mark said he had charting programs for work.
When asked about the poisoning info - Mark said, "She used it".
First time Mark disclosed that Julie used the computer (except for Quicken) was after he was confronted about the poisoning info in that April '99 interview.
Now Jambois asks about the photos left around the house - what was on them? They were pictures of a female and a penis. Didn't see the face of the male, but did see the face of the female. And an erect penis.
Some didn't appear to be actual photos - maybe doctored, or a photocopy. Judge needs clarification. Is this a photographic image or drawing? They were images out of a magazine, or off the internet. Originally a true-life representation of something picked up by a camera.
Some were photocopied pictures. Perhaps printed out by a computer printer.
Pics left around the Jensen house appeared to be photos and some appeared to be photocopied or printed material. Items that were not photographs were depictions of penis/female/sex act. These were on both photo paper and regular copy paper.
Items left around Jensen house could have been printed out from a computer printer.
Items 255 and 256, Julie's log. "Mark's computer does not have photo generating capacity", written in Julie's hand.
Jambois trying to get to the possibility of Mark's computer to print out photos...... Ratzburg doesn't have that kind of info.
Less than 10 images found around the Jensen house in '97/'98. Det. Ratzburg doesn't remember the quality, but he remembers they were consistent - depicted a female and a man's penis.
Ratzburg's purpose for asking about the photos was to further the investigation into what caused Julie's death. Questioned Mark Jensen thoroughly, trying to get him to tell the truth.
Mark said in the interview that he got them in the mail - sometimes he didn't show Julie because they would upset her.
Mark said he got pictures that had Julie's face in them!
Ok, now Court breaks for lunch. And there is argument going on about the photos being from Mark's work computer. Jambois says he can prove that Mark's computer can print out photos.
There it is again - 2800 penises! Judge asks if they are photos of just penises or of sex acts.
Jambois says he hasn't looked at all of them but Ms Gabriel has.....because she had to, of course, for the trial's sake.
5350 Sexual images. Including ejaculation and oral intercourse. Penises with rulers next to them.
There are also women who are preparing to having oral sex.
(Sounds like Markie did a little cut and paste on the pictures!)
Mr. Albee is stammering more than usual. He's very stressed.
Albee tries to but in, but gets a smack down by the judge. LET HIM FINISH!
Jambois is tying Mark's obsession with penises and fellatio with the pics left around the Jensen house. He's trying to get those 2800 penis pics entered into evidence......
Jambois says these are absolutely admissible because Mark despised Julie and wanted to make her miserable, and that is absolutely germane to the case against him.
Albee says no, no, no.
Judge has looked briefly at the photos. "Penis" is the center of all the pictures, one way or another. Nobody here seems to know what a "thumbnail" is!
Albee says the photos don't provide a motive.
Judge feels they could because they were used for harassment.
Albee says it could not be used for identity of harassment. These are 2000-2002, not earlier. They have no contemporaneous police reports about the original pictures. This is nothing but a smear campaign. Mr. Jensen is not unique in his use of pornography.
Mr. Cook says these aren't ALL the pictures. Judge would like to know if there are any pictures of females. Cook said that he hasn't looked at all the photos.
Judge says he doesn't think even homosexuals would have such a collection of pictures.
Judge: The fact that the pictures are from 2002 makes them inadmissible.
Jambois quotes from Kosman's testimony about the nature of the pictures. There was a huge quantity of these photos. One of Julie's "talking points" to police was that Mark's computer didn't have graphic capabilities. She obviously talked to Mark and is reporting what he told her. There are many porno sites starting July 16, 1998. In 1999, Mark destroyed his work computer.
Judge: Points out to Albee that this won't make Mark look so bad since he's already said that millions and millions of people go to these sites.
Albee says he didn't do enough voir dire of the jury because he didn't think this would come in due to judge's ruling.
Judge doesn't think the jury will be "pushed over the edge" by more info. He rules against the 2002 pix coming in.
Here's the story on the problem witness:
Evidently, the Judge received an e-mail from the Moderator of TruTv's board that had copies of the posts in question. It went something like this.....
Poster - I wish this trial would hurry up and be over so I can get my life back!
Sister of Juror - My brother thinks that too, and he's on the jury.
Post..
Poster - You should delete your post, or PM CW to have it deleted, it's not an appropriate thing to say if your brother is on the jury!
Some other poster - Yeah, and I'm sending this to Mr. Albee (which they obviously did)
Judge Schroeder took back his earlier disparaging remarks about posters, and said that the poster was responsible and conscientious to tell that sister poster to remove her post!
Jury called back.
Albee asks if Ratzburg knew about "things" on the computer 12/3/98 prior to Julie's death. He says "yes," and that's why he seized the computer immediately.
Albee is asking about Julie's use of the computer in 12/98. Julie's use of the computer for Quicken is not in any of his reports. He may have information in the April recorded statement. Written statement 12/6/98 summarization doesn't have anything about computer usage.
Albee: Officer Kosman saw more of the photos? Yes
Did he try to track down if they were really photos? No.
(Just heard: Prosecution is going to do a rebuttal case. (Jean Casarez) They may call a psychiatric expert.)
Jambois displays all Jensen's computer history. He reads some sites, which shows mixture of topics, normal and x-rated. (p.149)
(p.148) There are work sites mixed with x-rated sites.
(p. 147) More adult sites and work-related sites
And so on, and so on.
The Judge summarizes by saying the decedent had partial use of the computer. She also mentioned in her letter that Mark was an avid surfer of the internet.
He wants to know when the sites were accessed.
Jambois states the times and indicates non-work hours.
Albee says all the dates stated are in July. These don't have poison sites.
Judge: Prosecution says Julie is not using the computer, defense says she is computer literate.
The Judge says the jury could decide, based on 2002 work sites, that it is more likely Mark did the same site at home, and THEREFORE, he is the origin of the harassing photographs.
Judge decides that the 1998 searches are admissible as to who was using the computer and the source of other pictures.
2002 pictures ARE ADMISSABLE as proof that it is likely the defendant used the home computer because of the similarities of topics.
Albee says that they aren't "that similar."
Judge will give a proper precautionary instruction.
(Atty's will each draw one up)
Albee doesn't think any instruction will function, but he will write something tonight.
Albee wants to help pick the pictures! Jambois doesn't want to show them to the jury. Cook will only give general information about the content of the files, but Mr. Albee can feel free to ask how many of each!
Jambois also wants Cook to go through the history of the home computer.
On the stand, Martin Koch who works for the State Crime Lab. At one point, he was a computer evidence analyst. He has a background in chemistry and is currently assigned to analyzing drug cases. He has had extensive training since the mid '90's.
Brad Hallard did the original work. Mr. Koch reviewed it and came to his conclusion. Able objects to evidence as heresy and 6th Amendment violation. The Judge asks Koch how he relies on the information. Koch says its SOP. Judge overrules objection.
Koch goes on to explain how the process they use to collect the data.
Main objection is overruled. The continuing objection will remain as long as this topic is being discussed.
Continues his objection.
Discussion of Hallard's turning on computer 12/17/98.
193 files had date changed.
Other files were created.
Some data could have been overwritten.
It wouldn't alter data not overwritten.
If the data was recovered, it wasn't altered.
1998 write block technology did not exist. They used DOS boot disk. Some write block technology was used in ENCASE program.
Shadow 2 program developed in 2002 was revolutionary. Write blocked and the user could use the computer as a normal user.
The Jensen computer is in the courtroom and will be hooked up!
The contents of the hard drive will not be disturbed.
Koch examined the computer with Shadow 2.
(We are in for a great deal of technical testimony here!)
Mr. Koch is giving a great deal of information as to how cookies work, how index.dat files are created, what a 3rd party cookie is.
Last written date on computer 12/17/98 when computer was last turned on.
Koch was able to find that the history was regularly deleted.
Double deleting of History files might happen because the user didn't remember if it was deleted and deleted it again.
It would seem Mark didn't want Julie to know about the files!
So in late November '98, just a few minutes after midnight, someone went into Internet Explorer for about 20 minutes, deleted their history and got out of IE. Then went back in a few minutes later for less than a minute and then got out again.
Talking about files created on November 29, 1998, and deleted afterwards. The files weren't deleted because of the 20-day auto file dump, but were intentionally deleted through someone clearing the history.
Mercifully we are done for the day!
So folks, are you shaking your head? Can you believe some of the stuff we are hearing?
ritanita and Intrepid took the helm today. Many thanks Intrepid and ritanita!
Sprocket and I took the Bobby Cutts trial. Watch for the entry very soon.

Concerns New EU-Turkey Deal will see Increased Use of Immigration Detention
This month has seen a troubling shift in the EU as more and more people seek safety in Europe.
Last year, the EU set up border reception centres, called 'hotspots'. Located on islands in Greece, the hotspots aimed to register and screen migrants before swift transfer to the Greek mainland, with special processes in place for vulnerable individuals, such as children. Importantly, deprivation of a person's right to liberty was no part of this process.
However, this changed with the new EU-Turkey deal, negotiated on March 18. Now the hotspots aim to "implement returns to Turkey" and shortly after the agreement came into force the hotspots were transformed into closed detention facilities. At this stage it is unclear if those returned to Turkey will be subject to further detention.
In response, the UN Agency for Refugees (UNHCR) redefined their role in the EU-Turkey deal, saying the hotspots have now become mandatory detention, while Medicine Sans Frontiers (MSF) suspended some of their activities calling it "mass expulsion".
This EU pressure and move to detain in the first instance comes at a time when both Greece and Turkey had moved to limit the use of immigration detention over the past two years.
This move by the EU to push and promote mass border detention and deportation follows similar moves in other regions in the northern triangle with the Plan Frontera Sur and continued offshore processing on Nauru by Australia.
These regional and multilateral arrangements highlight how critical it is that civil society is supported and mobilised to respond to these developments. It is clear that national advocacy approaches alone are insufficient given the regional and international elements at play.

Solar Power Purchase Agreement signed at Port Kembla
Go back Next news story Saturday, July 21, 2018
At a signing ceremony today at Port Kembla Steelworks, BlueScope and its partners ESCO Pacific and Schneider Electric announced a landmark seven-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), where BlueScope will offtake 66% of the 133MW of energy generated from ESCO Pacific's Finley Solar Farm.
The 500,000 solar panel farm to be located at Finley, in the Riverina of NSW, is expected to be online by mid-2019. The ground-mounted solar farm will be located on a 300 hectare site which is almost half the size of Port Kembla Steelworks.
"Our approach to energy has always been about balancing the 'Trilemma', whereby we have access to affordable and reliable energy whilst reducing emissions where we can – which is why we support the intent of the National Energy Guarantee (NEG), says John Nowlan, Chief Executive, Australian Steel Products.
"This PPA is one of Australia's largest corporate offtake agreements, and is the largest with a solar farm to date, and complements our firm electricity supply arrangements, which provide the reliable electricity supply we need for manufacturing processes that must operate 24/7. The PPA will help keep downward pressure on our energy costs, and will support the gradual transition to renewable energy. The volume under the agreement is equivalent to 20% of BlueScope's total Australian electricity purchases.
"BlueScope supports Australia's 2030 emissions target, including the government's target to reduce electricity sector emissions by 26% on 2005 levels by 2030. By investing in solar energy, we are helping accelerate the decarbonisation of the electricity grid by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by around 300,000 tonnes of CO2e each year. This is comparable to taking 90,000 cars off the road and is enough to power 60,000 homes."

I do know that males in Polynesian and Asian communities can put on a form of skirt and dress, my point was more that many of the readers of my articles don't fall into these classes, so while is it good that NZ is accepting of those cultures and their social attitudes, it would not help the European viewers who are nonetheless caught dressless. There are many 60s very best ladies to selected from the housewife, assume Betty Draper's model on Madmen or June Cleaver and Lucille Ball, the workplace lady, Joan Harris Holloway additionally of Madmen or and the bombshell, suppose Bettie Page and Marilynn Monroe to get inspiration from.

WITH summer time on the way, many households and pals are beginning to think about reunions and group holidays. Does anyone else have any cruise plans for this yr, if that's the case I would love to listen to the place you are going and which cruise line you have chosen to take your voyage! The subject that she requested me to speak about on the podcast was some of our superb and thrilling adventures of being chosen or selected for various events whereas at Walt Disney World.
So that you've got an inventory of issues to see and do, to consult with during your cruise. Definitely their objective is get you, as a Disney visitor, to purchase photos, photo CD's, even merchandise. The good news is that Disney has responded to visitors about how inefficient it may be to journey from park to park, particularly when paying for Park Hopping privileges.
For example, Carnival Cruises is providing a 7-day ALL INCLUSIVE Rock Cruise to the Caribbean for $848. Unless otherwise specified, Disney cruise low cost costs quoted listed below are per adult, primarily based on double occupancy, and do not embody taxes, charges, port expenses or excursions. And, since DCL has the highest cruiser return charge of any cruise line, they will begin to be a bit extra stringent with the perks.
E book by a specialty web site, resembling Holidays to Go, Cruise or through a travel agent who focuses on cruises. For instance, on the Norwegian Cruise Line, groups occupying eight rooms or extra can get $30 to $50 per person off the total fare, along with a sure variety of facilities. There are six Company D places at the Walt Disney World Resort, and all offer a wide variety of products, private services and Cast-unique merchandise.

Jill-e makes high-quality, designer leather-based digicam baggage for ladies which are feminine and purposeful, so you possibly can photograph for work or pleasure with ease. But first, I wish to let you know why accessories are necessary and what they tell about our personalities. With digicam accessories resembling a tripod, cleansing material, SD card and card reader, you possibly can carry all your moments along with you every time and share it along with your family members everytime you need.
And set you again lower than £50 so as to add it to you travel accessories for ladies" package. Though since the apply of tight-lacing corsets (which was still rampantly standard in the South) strengthened a lady's sense of dependency, as she may hardly dress or undress herself without assistance, it is difficult to argue that women had been anything however slaves to their garments.
Once we travel, large suitcases and large journey luggage will not be the one necessities we'd like. So I can see why many women would carry at the least a small bag, as a result of girls's clothes is tighter fitting than males's, and we do not have sufficient room in our pockets which is absolutely quite a disgrace. I journey for business, and I agree that means I pack for business is very different than how I would pack for a personal trip.
Now that males were getting back from war, there was no cause for girls to continue participating in the work pressure, although that did not stop some women from working no matter what men needed to say about it. To fight the worry that women would steal jobs away from males, propaganda started to be launched detailing the wonderful, romantic best of a life at dwelling.

Here's an odd thing. Having experienced such cold weather on holiday in July, I went to take a look at the Met Office maps and graphs, and the UK mean temperature map for July 2015 was a bit of a surprise – it was quite rosy and warm-looking.
The map of anomalies, however, told a different story: That was more like what I was remembering – colder than normal in most of the country. I suppose most people would forget it and move on. Having checked other months there was a similar picture and I got to thinking about the choice of (actual) temperature range for each of the colour bins.
The coldest temperatures in Scotland on the map used the second coldest blue colour bin, the warmest around London used the second warmest red one, but the average temperature falls in the light pink colour for the range 14-16 °C. Would it not have been more honest to use the white colour for the average temperature? The entire country's temperatures could still have been represented without presenting an overly rosy map.
But this is only one month. Let's look at a few more. Is there a clear rationale in how actual temperatures are represented by specific colours on the maps, or is there a bias towards an overly rosy picture?
For August (UK average just below 15°C – light pink bin) actual temperatures are represented by an over dominance of pinks, suggesting warmer temperatures when the anomaly maps tell different story.
For earlier in the year, looking at actual temperatures, you'd be forgiven for thinking January 2015 (UK average just below 4°C – light pink bin) was very warm in Britain, when actually, from the anomaly maps, it was just average.
Conversely May 2015 (UK average just over 9.5°C – light pink bin) looks very warm, when it was much colder than average.
But then these two types of maps are meant to tell a different story. One end of the country is generally warmer than the other and the upland regions in Scotland will always be cold, but how much of the map should be pink or blue, and does it matter? For anomaly maps, the colour bins are standard covering a narrow one degree range, but for actual temperature, the bins are broader covering a two degree range. Still the choice of which bin colour represents the dominant map colour will bias the map. Is there any logic that would explain the choice?
While I think of it – is it not just a little absurd to have dark blue and dark red representing <-6°C and >8°C respectively in January, but <+6°C and >20°C in July. Green and yellow are used successfully on other temperature scales to represent intermediate colours.
The maps go back to 2001 and, generally, looking at average months, warm months, and those that are colder than normal, the average temperature seems to be represented by that rosy light pink colour. The maps and the bins representing each temperature category tend not to change. That means in a really warm month – the average temperature will jump to the dark pink bin and – yes – the map will be screaming red.
What about a few really cold ones – remember December 2009 and December 2010?
Dec 2010 – average UK temperature was just less than -1°C – colour bin: light-mid blue – a 'coldest on record' month.
Hehe. These months sure shook things up a bit, actually forcing the use of white as the bin colour for representation of the average temperature. And that is the point – looking at the maps, way back to 2001, generally the map and the colour bins don't change and the most frequent colour used for 'average' is light pink.
I blame that Met Office obsession with climate change.
This entry was posted in CAGW, Climate, Weather and tagged Met Office, Temperatures. Bookmark the permalink.
If they were expecting above average temperatures to become more common, then presumably it would be logical to move the 'average bin colour' towards the blue end, not the red, in order to leave more space.
ah but that wouldn't look as warm and Joe Public might not believe the Global Warming hype.

The kidnappers release the Greek Metropolitan of Aleppo Pavlos and Bishop Johanna Ibrahim
The two Orthodox bishops, who were kidnapped in war-torn Syria last night, were released late in the afternoon. Armed rebels abducted, on the border between Turkey and Syria, the Greek Metropolitan of Aleppo and brother of the Patriarch of Antioch, Pavlos, and the city's Bishop Johanna Ibrahim.
AFP has disseminated the information received from a Christian organization called "L'oeuvre de l'Orient" ("The product of the Orient" – author's note).
"The two bishops are already in the Orthodox Church "St. Elijah" in Aleppo," stated its members in their communication to the news agency.
Earlier, the opposition in Syria had accused the government in Damascus of organizing the kidnapping and denied any involvement in the case.
"They have kidnapped us and are taking us to a place that is close to the border between Syria and Turkey," read the message Metropolitan Pavlos had sent to his closest associates late last night. The fate of the two bishops was unknown from that moment until late afternoon on Tuesday.
A little earlier, the Syrian Orthodox Church confirmed the information. Some time ago, Metropolitan of Volokolamsk, Hilarion, had said that the two bishops had been kidnapped by groups of Wahhabi "who have been armed and financed by the foreign powers that have imposed the civil war in Syria."
The specific Chechen rebels in Syria are known as Chechen djihadists and according to the Russian Bishop, they have undertaken to exterminate all Christians in the region. The Maronite Church has spread similar information as well.
In September last year, Bishop Johanna had told Reuters that hundreds of Christian families had left Aleppo to escape the fierce fighting between the rebels and the forces of the regime of Bashar al-Assad.
"Aleppo has not experienced such critical and difficult moments in its modern history. Christians are mass victims of violent attacks and kidnappings. Their families pay huge sums to redeem them," he had said for the global agency.
For his part, the Greek Metropolitan of Aleppo Pavlos had said in January that the critical point was for the uprisings in different countries known as "Arab Spring" not to shake the centuries of religious diversity in the Middle East.
The Greek authorities were immediately informed of the kidnapping. The head of the Greek Orthodox Church Jerome was in constant contact with Prime Minister Antonis Samaras and Foreign Minister Dimitris Avramopoulos, who is in Brussels for a meeting of the foreign ministers of NATO member countries.
Both Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and Pope Francis I called for the release of the two hierarchs.
Metropolitan Pavlos was ordained in 2000 becoming the spiritual mentor of the Metropolitan of Aleppo, half of which is in Syria, and the other half - in Turkey. He is considered one of the most active bishops of the Antiochian Patriarchate; the founding of parishes and monasteries, and the establishment of dormitories for students at the University of Aleppo being some of his acts.
About ten days ago, a missile was fired at the Archbishop's house.

The original story idea for Ninja Express was far different than what became the final version. It's original title was "Animanga" and the central characters were going to be a male 10-year-old mech pilot and a kunoichi who was his childhood best friend that had magical pet.
The second version took on the title of Ninja Express but was going to be focused on the team being a clan of down on their luck ninja trying to make a living in a world where ninja are nearly forgotten. The biggest difference in this version from the final version was that Yuki had a far smaller role in the series and she was Otaki's little sister and not Sayaka's. This concept met with a few logistical issues and eventually evolved into what Ninja Express is today.
Otaki has lived a life of mediocrity; only experiencing adventure vicariously through the heroes of his favorite anime and video games.
Upon entry into high school he decides to break free of his existence as one of life's side characters and take the spotlight for himself. His plan: join his school's ninja club, the Ninja Beast Assassination Squadron!
Unfortunately for Otaki he neither has physical prowess, latent talent, nor tactical skill required by the squadron and he fails to make it into the Ninja Beasts. A series of events lead Otaki to join his school's new start up ninja club, Ninja Express. Now, under the harsh tutelage of Sayaka Katsuragi, Otaki trains to become a ninja so that one day he can be a person worthy of standing alongside the heroes he has grown up to admire.
Sayaka is the eldest daughter and heir to the Katsuragi ninja clan. In recent years her clan has fallen on hard times, but Sayaka has a plan to restore her clan to prosperity. Upon entry into high school she forms a ninja club named Ninja Express to attract new recruits and potential clients. With her younger sister Yuki and her childhood friend Emomaru as her club's founding members, Sayaka leads her club as its president.
Sayaka is cool and calculating, always keeping a level head even in the most dire of circumstances. In spite of her young age she has mastered hundreds of ninja weapons and techniques. She is an excellent strategist, using her intellect and wit to trick far more powerful foes to fall prey to her masterfully laid traps. She is completely obsessed with living the life of a "true ninja" and makes no time for anything else, which has served as both a benefit and a problem for her.
Emomaru serves as the vice-president of Ninja Express. He is a skilled ninja that has trained alongside Sayaka since middle school. He rarely shows emotion and it often falls to him to be the team's voice of reason. His calm expression hides the sorrow of his past, a past that has led him on a quest for vengeance against a man known only as "THAT Guy".
Besides his extensive knowledge of ninja weaponry, Emomaru has the ability to animate his shadow into a being known Kagemaru, a living shadow that fights in his stead. With such an arsenal at his disposal, he is the top fighter of Ninja Express. This fact has fostered a one-sided rivalry on the part of Otaki.
Yuki is a bright and energetic middle school student who, due to her age, is an unofficial member of Ninja Express. Though she is Sayaka's younger sister, she holds little interest in pursuing the life of a ninja. She prefers sleeping in late rather than participating in Sayaka's early morning training sessions; a luxury that often eludes her these days ever since Otaki joined the team — he needs a lot of extra training.
Yuki's fighting style revolves around the shuriken embedded in her head. Through an unfortunate accident, the shuriken has become infused with Yuki's chakra and she has the ability to control its trajectory with her mind as well as create illusions of it to confuse her foes.
Taiga is a second year high school student and the final member of Ninja Express. He is the only non-ninja member of the club.
Before joining Ninja Express, Taiga was president of a martial arts club during his freshmen year. At the end of the year he organized a fighting tournament among his members, a tournament which left him as the sole survivor. For reason unknown to him he couldn't find new members the following year… enter Sayaka. The two struck a deal in which he would join Ninja Express and allow Sayaka to use the club room in exchange to still be allowed to use the room for his training.

Scientists use supercomputer to create 'first living robot'
Posted - January 16 2020 00:37
The xenobots can survive in aqueous environments without further vitamins for days or weeks - making them appropriate for inner drug supply.
"These are novel living machines", said computer scientist and roboticist Joshua Bongard of the University of Vermont.
Xenobot usually do not appear to be traditional robots - they don't have any shiny equipment or robot tools.
This makes the "birth" of an entirely new living organism previously unknown to mankind. The xenobots could potentially be used toward a host of tasks, according to the study, which was partially funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, a federal agency that oversees the development of technology for military use.
Various practical usages for the xenobots have been proposed, including clearing human arteries, cleaning microplastics from the oceans and gathering radioactive waste. But those robots may not have any metal components if some researchers have their way.
It may be years of research before that happens, but the universities of Vermont and Tufts have been able to generate these "entirely new life forms".
The results of the new research were published January 13 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. And just as evolution works in the natural world, the least successful forms would be deleted by the computer program. The researchers say that is deliberate - this "organic machine" can obtain issues typical robots of metal and plastic cannot. But determining how the cells' genomes are altered when they're used to make these machines instead of frogs is actually part of the reason the machines are being built. While the scientists say they don't evolve-and in fact, can be programmed to die at a certain point by modulating how much food reserves they're given-the biological machines could theoretically be weaponized, and it's possible that the A.I. that designs their parent models could be programmed with nefarious intentions. The researchers, led by doctoral student Sam Kriegman, the paper's lead author, would assign the computer certain tasks for the design - such as achieving locomotion in one direction - and the computer would reassemble a few hundred simulated cells into different body shapes to achieve that goal. Then, using tiny forceps and an even tinier electrode, the cells were cut and joined under a microscope into a close approximation of the designs specified by the computer.
What the team created is a body form never seen in nature.
Using living tissue is often controversial, and in future work scientists may move towards using mammalian cells to allow robots to exist outside of water.
Those millimeter-wide reconfigurable organisms were shown to be able to move and explore their watery environment for days or weeks, according to the study. Nevertheless, Xenobots could lead to more discoveries and start an uncharted future. The researchers used a supercomputer running the evolutionary algorithm and tested thousands of 3D designs to discover the most feasible structures for the Xenobots. We can surely quibble about whether or no longer or no longer these robots qualify as being surely alive, but they're most surely a precursor to totally shaped artificially constructed lifeforms. What's more interesting is that the live robots were sliced into half and surprisingly, it stitched itself and kept going.

Tag archive for "Clams Casino"
It's always great to see young artists help each other get a foothold in the tough industry of music. Here Clams Casino aids up and coming singer Mikky Ekko on his single "Pull Me Down" by providing his tried and true otherworldly production. It's also awesome to hear his music used backing something other than hip-hop. Check out more from Mikky Ekko HERE and be on the lookout, he's on the rise.
This weekend is the always enjoyable Pitchfork Music Festival in downtown Chicago and we are stoked to be attending yet again. Some awesome acts we're looking forward to you ask? How about Japandroids, The Field, Clams Casino, Cults, Sleigh Bells, Kendrick Lamar, King Krule… I think you get the picture. Check out the playlist below to get excited, or see what your missing.
Just when you thought Lana Del Rey's "Video Games" had reached critical mass Orlando producer Luminary Youth drops a fresh sample giving it a rebirth. File this guy next to Clams Casino, Star Slinger, and your other favorite distorted, choppy instrumental hip-hop producers. If you're into this track you'll dig his newly released Unwritten Future EP which is available for free download for a limited time HERE. Definitely check out my next favorite "Never Alone" while you're there.
Two of our favorite artists come together in this track. Lo-fi hip-hop producer Clams Casino remixes the cumulus Washed Out's "Amor Fati" creating something exactly between. Enjoy this one, I am.
The latest installment of The Adult Swim Singles Program is a new track from hazed out producer Clams Casino. On "Wizard" Volpe sticks to his guns with blown out bass and fuzzed up hand claps, but in lieu of a distorted sample to provide the melody he shows his own keyboard prowess with an array of layered synths. Listen below and download HERE.
Yet another artist I've been sitting on for a while, 23 year old New Jersey hip-hop producer Michael Volpe. Under the moniker Clams Casino, Volpe makes based-out beats for the likes of Lil B and Soulja Boy. Through the use of obscure sample manipulation he creates blown out ambient beats that would be more easily compared to How to Dress Well than Timbaland. Casino's recently released 13 track mixtape of instrumentals–aptly title Instrumental Mixtape–has been making heavy rounds through the blog scene and will be followed up on June 27th with Rainforest EP. Listen to a few of our favorites below and head HERE to download Instrumental Mixtape.
