Chromecast with Google TV - easy way to smarten your dumb TV
I love streaming. During lockdown there wasn't much else to do but watch some TV. We had cut cable long ago, so we used our Android Box or the Roku. The Roku was way easier to use... but I think I just found something that really puts it to shame interms of simplicity.
The Chromecast with Google TV.
Sure, I've had a Chromecast for a while, and it is simple. Have something on your phone, blam, cast it's there on the TV. Except, I need that app to cast... and sometimes I'd found that when I queued up a bunch of YT clips to watch, when I go back to my phone - it's saying it's not casting any more. Little quirks, but definitely liveable.
With the Chromecast with Google TV, no more quirks, just an easy intuitive operation, all for just $69.99CAD.
Now, let's just get something out of the way first. If you've been around the Google world as long as I have, you'll recognize Google TV as the old "Logitech Revue" (which used the Google TV) .. I liked that thing. A bit clunky by today's standards.
From there, Google abandoned that and came up with Android TV, and I had picked up the Nexus Player.
The interface from the Nexus Player and the controller are very similar too.
So I was so happy to try this out. See how the simple add of a controller makes it a whole new experience.
It plugs in just like a Chromecast, just slightly larger, and the USB plug in it'll need can't be just from the back of the TV port like a CC, you'll need to use the wall plug for this.
Now, when thinking of how to plug in the new CC, I don't think there's an option for 'black' (there's pink and tourquoise also), so up against all the black cords going to the TV, there'll be this strand of white. /ocd eye twitch
Setting it up was very easy.
Just like other Chromecasts in the past.
In moments it's up and running and then has the screen on. Now, you 'log in' to it with your account and then it ties most of those apps it has on it to that Google log in. It remembered some of my logins, but tbh, most of the streaming services my wife actually has, and she changes the passwords a lot, so I had to get her help to log into all the different streaming we have: Netflix, Disney+, Prime, CBC Gem, Global, etc...
Once your services are logged into, you can then have that home screen filled with recommendations - and then click one and it'l ltell you how you can watch it (via Prime, or rent on Google Play Movies, etc...).
Best of all is the remote. It's small (that part does have me a bit afraid it might be 'too small') and very simple. I love that it has the power, volume AND input selector for your TV (part of the set up guide). I've pretty much put other remotes away now.
It's all so intuitive. There is no mystery as to how it works, or what you need to do to make it work.
Even if you mess up how to use the Assistant feature on it - it'll remind you to press and hold it.
The only downside I've found so far with it is that unfortunately it's all locked to one 'profile'. I wish there could be an option to switch accounts in the settings. Just like how you can for Netflix or Prime... I can see why they didn't need to - but then all the Youtube video plays get 'logged' as my account.
Or, like I don't use Global, so maybe on my profile all I need are Netflix, Youtube and Gem, but on my wife's she'll want Disney+, Prime, Global. Less clutter.
Oh well... apparently it's coming. Right now you can create a 'kids' profile, so you can not have to worry about your kid getting access to shows they shouldn't or mucking up your Youtube algorithms.
All in all, if you don't have a new smart TV, and many of them have Google TV built in, then this is a great option for just $70.

Q: Excel VBA - Unable to duplicate worksheet in another workbook From a workbook, I am attempting to open another workbook, duplicate the master worksheet in that workbook and rename it. The problem being that no matter what I try it doesn't seem to work when I Copy the master sheet.
Attempt One - Using the copy method.
Sub individualStats()

  'Initialize
  Dim app As New Excel.Application
  app.Visible = False
  Dim objWorkbook As Excel.Workbook
  Set objWorkbook = app.Workbooks.Add("S:\MH\Stats\Jordan Individual Stats.xlsm")

  'Test if Worksheet exists already
  Set wsTest = Nothing
  On Error Resume Next
  Set wsTest = objWorkbook.Worksheets("Test Worksheet")
  On Error GoTo 0

  'If worksheet does not exist then duplicate Master and rename
  If wsTest Is Nothing Then

    objWorkbook.Worksheets("Master").Copy After:=objWorkbook.Worksheets(Worksheets.count)
    ' ^ This is the line I get the error on.
    ActiveSheet.Name = "Test Worksheet"

  End If

  'Save and close workbook.
  app.DisplayAlerts = False

  objWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:="S:\MH\Stats\Jordan Individual Stats.xlsm", FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
  objWorkbook.Close SaveChanges:=False
  app.Quit
  Set app = Nothing

  app.DisplayAlerts = True
End Sub

I have marked the line I get the error on. The error is
"Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range."
Attempt Two - Calling a Macro from the Workbook
Inside of the "Jordan Individual Stats.xlsm" workbook I have created this Macro.
Sub duplicateMaster()
   Sheets("Master").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)
   ActiveSheet.Name = "Test Worksheet"

End Sub

This sub works completely fine if I run it within that workbook.
But when I try to call this module from the original workbook it doesn't work.
...
If wsTest Is Nothing Then
    Application.Run ("'S:\MH\Stats\Jordan Individual Stats.xlsm'!duplicateMaster")
End If
...

The error comes up on the line in the duplicateMaster module on the line         "Sheets("Master").Copy After:=Sheets(Sheets.Count)".
The error is the same "Run-time error '9': Subscript out of range."
How can I fix this?

A: objWorkbook.Worksheets("Master").Copy _
    After:=objWorkbook.Worksheets(Worksheets.count)

here Worksheets.count will refer to the active workbook, but not in the new instance of Excel you created. It will instead refer to the active workbook in the instance where your code is running.
Try this:
objWorkbook.Worksheets("Master").Copy _
    After:=objWorkbook.Worksheets(objWorkbook.Worksheets.count)

You don't need to create a new instance of Excel to do this, and not doing so will prevent this type of easily-overlooked problem.

Hamlet's plans to rebuild a portion of Starke Street this month are largely dependent on the weather. Plans call for the road to be rebuilt from Plymouth Street north to U.S. 30, with drainage improvements and a new sidewalk along the west side of the road. The work is scheduled to take place the last week of the month, to coincide with spring break at Oregon-Davis Schools.
There were also concerns about impacting traffic heading to the Starke County Co-Op, but town officials say a slight delay in the project wouldn't have much of an effect, since the heaviest traffic isn't until harvest time.

This class discusses the basic concepts that are required to create and stream video to website visitors.
Frame Rate is the number of pictures shown per second. 15fps is the lowest you should go. 30fps is the best. The bigger the fps the bigger the end video file.
Any $100 video software at Best Buy and a 4 year old computer will do fine.
Encode your video file to the format required by your video player, or hosted video platform.
Encode your video to the smallest (least quality) you can because you will get charged depending upon the size of the video.
HTML 5 vs. Flash = A false argument. HTML 5 will not be completely ratified until 2020. 98% of all Internet connected devices have Falsh installed. ONLY iPod/Pad/Phone's do not support Flash.
Progressive Download — The video file fully download to your computer. This is the easiest to setup. You cannot skip around in a video. You use ALOT of bandwidth.
Pseudo Streaming — Like Progressive Download, but you can skip around in the video. this requires a specially configured server.
Real Streaming — Only the video being watched is downloaded. You can skip around in the video all you like.
Real Time Bit Rate Switching — This means multiple copies of the same video file are created at different resolutions. The player and server sense you Internet speed and then provide the quality of video that will play best for you speed.
YouTube — is very easy to use and free, but you are limited to 10 minute videos and he delivery quality isn't always the best.
Platform Charge — You are charged based on storage on the servers based either on size of video files or the numbers of them.

The traditional avgolemono with chicken is our usual go to when it comes to having a quick and easy soup that is comforting while at the same time delicious. Recently we got a mixer in our house (gift from the parents) so we were curious to see how our avgo sauce would turn out while using this super motor that could mix it all up for you. Now, an important part of making the sauce is building up a froth while you beat the eggs. When doing this by hand, that means that you have to mix for a long time at a fairly decent pace. Sheesh, my arms are aching already. Okay so I'm not saying we'll never do it the old fashion way, but once you go mixer…well, you know the saying. This beautiful, cherry red mixing machine takes the eggs and turns them into a frothy cloud that is exactly what you picture when you think avgolemono. WOW.
With this new found technique we decided to make our homey soup but instead of chicken, we chose to load the pot with a ton of veggies! Using veggies is so easy and it honestly provides so much flavor depending on the ones that you pick out. The tomatoes give it acidity (especially because I like to pick ones that are less than fully ripe), the onion gives it a nice bite, and the celery adds a beautiful peppery flavor that is unmistakable. Top it all of with the frothy avgo and it's just fabbuulloouuss. Today I had it for lunch and I paired it with a pita that was topped with zattar mix, an herb mixture that is almost sweet and sour (we will make this for the site too so that you can try it).
I am such a soup fan…it's a little lame at times. It's one of those meals I can have whenever, all of time. Poor Kenton. If I am in a lazy mood he knows what my suggestion for dinner will be, soup or tacos. I can't help it! At least with this recipe though, I know I can switch it up and still get something scrumptious. Not to mention, it stores nicely so you can have it night after night Lucky me! Try it out and enjoy.
P.S. You can add any vegetables that you want…I sometimes even add bok choy. Have fun and Kali Orexi!
Over medium heat, combine onions, garlic, and olive oil in deep pot. Cook for 5min or until onions become translucent.
Add ALL remaining ingredients to soup base.
Cover and simmer for 25-30min or until veggies are tender.
Add eggs to bowl and beat for 4 to 5 minutes. If using flour, add during this step.
Take 2 ladles of hot broth from soup and slowly pour into egg froth, mixing. This is important. Don't forget this or the eggs will curdle.
Add back into soup dish and stir!

Biden administration to America: Prepare to die from COVID-19
Evan Blake@evanblake17
Since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant of COVID-19 a "variant of concern" on Friday, world governments have responded with essentially no measures to stop its global spread except for limited travel restrictions. As of Sunday evening, 159 cases of the Omicron variant have been sequenced on every habitable continent except South America.
Much remains unknown about the variant, but initial data from southern Africa indicates that it is likely more transmissible than the Delta variant, which is itself far more transmissible than the wild type of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. In Gauteng Province, South Africa, where most Omicron cases have been detected, new hospitalizations have more than tripled in the past two weeks alone. Given that the Omicron variant possesses over 50 mutations, with 32 on the virus' spike protein, many scientists have warned that it could be the most vaccine-resistant variant so far.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, pauses while speaking during a Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee hearing on Capitol Hill, Thursday, Nov. 4, 2021, in Washington. (AP Photo/Alex Brandon)
Due to inadequate genomic sequencing programs in the United States, it is likely that the Omicron variant is already spreading undetected in the country. This coincides with a deepening surge of the Delta variant, which has killed over 165,000 Americans in the past four months and infected millions.
The rapid spread of the dangerous new variant has been met with demands by scientists for urgent measures to stop the spread of the disease.
But appearing on the Sunday morning talk shows, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the chief medical advisor to President Biden, rejected any lockdown measures, and even mask or vaccine mandates, to stop the spread of the Omicron variant and the pandemic more broadly.
Under conditions in which over 414,000 Americans were officially infected with the Delta variant over the past week, Fauci told ABC News that it was "too early to say" whether such measures would be needed. Fauci made clear that the position of the White House is that nothing should be done until the Omicron variant has swept over the entire country.
As with the Trump administration throughout 2020, the Biden administration's categorical opposition to implementing these measures is solely motivated by economic considerations. As news spread Friday of the dangers of the Omicron variant, the stock markets suffered their greatest loss of the year. In the White House, discussions are not about saving lives, but rather what will happen on Wall Street on Monday and how they can best delay any action until the Christmas shopping season is over.
On NBC's Meet the Press, Fauci stated in the most categorical terms that the Biden administration opposes any attempts to eliminate or eradicate COVID-19. Asked by host Chuck Todd, "Is it pretty clear this is now an endemic [sic]? I mean, how does this end any other way?" Fauci replied, "You know, we certainly are not going to eradicate it. We've only eradicated one virus, and that's smallpox. Elimination means there's none of it in the country, like we have now with polio and with measles. I don't think we're going to be there with this."
Fauci agreed with Todd that the virus will become "endemic" and reiterated the unscientific mantra of the Biden administration that vaccinations alone will lower infections and deaths to an "acceptable" level. "It's not going to go away," he said. "The lower we get it, the better off we'll be. And you get it that low when you get the overwhelming majority of the population vaccinated and boosted. So, like I've said multiple times, Chuck, it's in with our own grasp of how we're going to be able to live with the virus."
These statements and the overall response of the Biden administration to the Omicron variant were roundly condemned by leading scientists. Dr. Jorge Caballero, formerly of Stanford University, tweeted a clip of the interview and commented, "I've seen enough. We need bold strategic changes, and the current WH COVID Response team isn't up to the task."
Fauci has served as the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) since 1984 and is a trusted representative of the American ruling class. His explicit opposition to elimination and eradication is consciously directed against the growing support for this strategy within the working class and among the most far-sighted scientists.
The elimination strategy, which has been advocated continuously by the World Socialist Web Site, entails the universal deployment of all public health measures, including mass testing, contact tracing, the safe isolation of infected patients, the use of high-quality masks, improved ventilation, travel restrictions, the rapid vaccination of the world population, and the temporary closure of all schools and nonessential workplaces with full income protection for all affected workers. The largest country to successfully employ this strategy is China, which has continuously stamped out minor outbreaks in a population of over 1.4 billion people since effectively eliminating the virus in March 2020.
The Biden administration's stated opposition to this strategy is based on definite class interests. The American ruling class has openly embraced a homicidal policy that they know will lead to ongoing mass death. They have accepted that an entirely preventable new cause of death has emerged, SARS-CoV-2 and its variants, which will continue to evolve and become more dangerous unless the virus is eliminated.
Substantial sections of the ruling elite view the death of elderly and retired workers from COVID-19 as a positive good. For years before the pandemic, there were growing calls to reduce the costs of pensions, social services and medical care by lowering life expectancy. The most explicit formulation of these aims was a 2014 article by Ezekiel Emanuel in The Atlantic, titled, "Why I hope to die at 75." The article had the sub-head, "An argument that society and families—and you—will be better off if nature takes its course swiftly and promptly."
Emanuel, who briefly served on Biden's COVID-19 Advisory Board, is getting his wish. In the first year of the pandemic alone, life expectancy declined by 2.2 years for adult males in the US, the worst decline since official records began to be kept in 1933.
In all essentials, the Biden administration has continued the pandemic policies of the Trump administration. After forcing open schools in major Democratic-led cities throughout the spring, Biden discouraged mask-wearing and social distancing and oversaw the ending of the federal moratorium on evictions, while relying on vaccines as a magic bullet to stop new infections. The Delta surge proved by July that this strategy was totally unviable, but the White House continued with the same vaccine-only approach, setting the stage for the present disaster.
The Biden administration's stated opposition to the elimination of COVID-19 in the face of a deadly new surge of the pandemic demonstrates the imperviousness of capitalist governments around the world to the demands of scientists and the public for the preservation of human life. The emergence of the Omicron variant demonstrates that those in power will continue to let the virus infect masses of people and mutate until the whole Greek alphabet has been used up, with each new variant having potentially catastrophic consequences.
Above all, the financial oligarchy is terrified that a movement will develop in the working class demanding lockdowns, akin to the wave of wildcat strikes that caused the initial lockdowns in March 2020. The closure of schools and nonessential workplaces, which could save millions of lives if conducted as part of a comprehensive global elimination strategy, would curtail the extraction of surplus value that lies at the heart of the capitalist production process. Any impingement on the personal wealth accumulation of the billionaires, who have amassed over $2 trillion since the start of the pandemic, cannot be tolerated.
Following the world's leading scientists, the WSWS has continuously warned that the only way to prevent the development of more dangerous variants such as Omicron is through a strategy aimed at progressively eliminating the virus in every country until all human-to-human transmission is brought to an end. The starting point of this strategy is a popular rejection of the policies that have been implemented to date, including "herd immunity" and the idea that "mitigation" policies—such as relying on vaccination alone—will end the pandemic.
By definition, there is no national solution to the pandemic. The fight to eliminate COVID-19 must be coordinated globally by workers taking matters into their own hands. The guiding principle of this mass movement, encompassing millions of workers, youth and progressive sections of the middle class, is that human lives must take unconditional precedence over corporate profits.
The fight to eliminate COVID-19 globally requires the most comprehensive exposure of the financial interests that have determined policies throughout the pandemic. For this reason, the Global Workers' Inquest into the COVID-19 Pandemic called by the World Socialist Web Site is all the more critical and must be systematically developed in every country. The same criminals responsible for the policies that have killed an estimated more than 12 million people globally are now threatening to unleash another wave of mass death throughout the world. This must be stopped and those responsible must be held accountable.

Primate Ayodele: Nigeria's next president will be free from scandal, not old and not too young.
By Christian Chukwu
Leader of INRI Evangelical Spiritual Church, Primate Elijah Ayodele has revealed how the next president of Nigeria in 2023 will look like.
According to Primate Ayodele, the next president of Nigeria is one who is free from scandal and the person is not old and too young.
The clergyman made this revelation in a statement signed by his Media Aide, Oluwatosin Osho.
He said: ''God said that the rotational system will not give Nigeria what they want. Nigeria wants good leaders. This will be someone who is ready to sacrifice so many things for the country. There will be a lot that will surround who will become the next president of Nigeria. The person will not be too old or too young. The person will have a clean bill of health from scandals. Of course, the Igbo will find it difficult and tough. They will come up with propaganda in order to keep them in the race.
"In the 2023 election, Nigeria will want to pick the best candidate. The Northern states will be divided; some will support the South while some people will support the North. Governors from the Southern states will not speak with one voice. The Governors will be divided on personal grounds.
"APC and PDP will do everything possible to reach consensus so that it won't cause problems. The pattern of the Southerners will be very firm while that of the Easterners will be very weak. They will make moves but they won't achieve their expected desires. Of course, the two leading parties will make bold moves that will make the 3rd party re-strategizes their plans.
''I foresee that whoever wins the 2023 election will be given the mandate freely given by the electorate. The spirit of God says Buhari is ready to handover and will not interfere or dabble into the affairs of who becomes the next President. The government and the Electoral Umpire will do what is right and this will make Buhari to be honoured. There is no doubt, there will be smooth transition and whoever i

Now reading: Ricoh R8 Concise Review
Ricoh R8 Concise Review
Published Mar 14, 2008 | Lars Rehm
1 Previous
2 Design and Operation
Design and Handling
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe is generally credited as the originator of the phrase 'less is more' and it is likely that at least some of the members of the Ricoh design team are admirers of this master of modern architecture's work. The R8's design can confidently be described as minimalist. It is dominated by straight lines and a distinct lack of any ornamental features.
Its shapes and the distinguished finish of the metal surfaces on the camera body give the R8 a true luxury appearance. The build quality matches the looks. The R8 feels rock solid, no flexing or creaking. It is available in black or silver. The top plate is solid aluminum and especially nice, just be careful you don't scratch it. It might be worth investing in a bag or pouch as well when buying an R8.
The camera is very slim indeed for its zoom range - around 27 mm thick (just over an inch) when powered down (the lens extends by around 28mm when you turn it on). This is achieved by a double retracting system on the lens. Thanks to its protrusion-free design the R8 fits most pockets without any problems. It easily makes the 'compact' camera bracket but is probably slightly too sizable to earn itself the 'ultra' prefix as well.
Despite the camera's boxy shape and sleek surfaces, one-handed operation of the shutter release and zoom rocker is not a problem. This is largely down to the useful rubberized grip that wraps itself around the camera's edge. The R8 is also weighty enough to never feel unstable in your hand.
Key body elements
The main mode dial sits on the top plate, just to the right of the shutter release/zoom rocker combination. There are five positions (auto, movie, scene mode and two custom settings). To the left of the shutter release is the main power (on/off) button.
The ADJ button (actually it's more like a joystick) is located underneath the review button. A press will take you to the Adjust mode. Here you have access to exposure compensation, WB, ISO, image quality and size and AE/AF target shift. The menu is customizable, so you can swap these functions for others which might be more useful to you. The ADJ button is also used to navigate menus and to change macro and flash settings.
Right below the ADJ controller you'll find the menu button, the combined delete/self timer button and the DISP button. By pressing the latter you can change the amount of information displayed on the LCD.
The built-in flash has a range of around 0.2 to 3.0m (W) or 0.25 to 2.0m (T) using auto ISO.
The optically stabilized lens (CCD shift) uses a double retracting system to squeeze the very useful zoom range of 28-200mm (35mm equiv.) into a fairly compact camera. When zooming or focusing it can be quite noisy though.
The R8' screen is simply superb; razor-sharp, fast and bright enough to see in almost all conditions except direct sunlight. The viewing angle is very wide as well and at 460,000 pixels it's one of the highest resolution 2.7-inch screens currently on the market.
The R8 ships with a rechargeable DB-70 battery that's good enough for about 270 shots (CIPA standard). The SD card slot is under the same spring-loaded door at the camera bottom. There is a small 24MB internal memory.
The USB and AV-Out connectors are hidden under a rubberized door on the side of the camera.
Controls & Menus
The Ricoh R8 is a compact camera and as such has a relatively limited amount of external controls and buttons. Nevertheless the Ricoh designers have managed to create a user interface that allows quick access to all important shooting parameters. The menu structure is clear and intuitive, new users will be up to speed in very little time. An added benefit of the interface is its customizability. You can tailor elements of the menu for your needs and you can even save two sets of shooting parameters and access them via the control dial on the top plate.
As usual there are several options available for the amount of information displayed on-screen - from a totally uncluttered 'live preview only' to full shooting information (as shown here). There is also a grid option which should help avoid crooked horizons.
Half-press the shutter release and the camera will calculate exposure (AE) and focus (AF) indicating the AF area(s) used and the aperture/shutter speed chosen. You'll also get a warning if camera shake is a danger.
You can choose a 1:1 format as one of the image size options. Obviously you could simply crop the image on your computer but this way you get the proper '6x6' feeling when framing your shot.
There is also a manual focus option. Operation can be a bit cumbersome (the zoom rocker doubles as focus lever) but manual focus can be useful, especially for macro work.
The excellent Adjust menu is accessed by pressing the ADJ button. It gives you a customizable set of quick menus for anything from AE compensation to white balance, ISO and metering. You can define up to four of these mini menus using the setup menu (the fifth - AF/AE target shift - cannot be removed or changed). Settings are adjusted using the ADJ button. It's fast and intuitive.
In the shooting settings menu you'll find three pages of options covering everything from file size/quality to focus, metering, bracketing and image stabilization. There's also an interval timer, time exposure and fix minimum aperture option. Here you will also find the settings which can be accessed via the ADJ button.
In playback mode you can choose the level of information by pressing the DISP button, from none to full shooting information and histogram (as here).
There is also a blinking highlights play mode which is useful when shooting high contrast scenes.
There is a 4x5 thumbnails option in play mode.
To check details in your images you can zoom in up to a 16x factor.
The R8 offers in camera levels adjustment. It works pretty much the same way as in Photoshop or similar imaging applications to get the best result out of the images you've already taken.
The in camera white balance compensation is a pretty uncommon feature on a compact camera. If your WB is completely off this feature won't save your images (it works with jpg rather than raw data and therefore only gives you limited leeway) but it's good enough for some ad-hoc color correction on the go.
The Playback Settings menu is pretty basic. Apart from the usual slide show, resizing, printing and copying options it also includes the levels and WB adjustments plus a skew correction function (for photographing documents and white boards, ideal feature for industrial espionage).
The 4 page setup menu is home to the usual camera options (screen brightness, date and time etc). There are also a fair amount of customization options in here, plus an unusual 'step zoom' setting. This makes the zoom move in 7 discrete steps (28mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 105mm, 135mm and 200mm).
In the setup menu you will also find the option to save your own custom settings. You can then access them via the mode dial.
Last but not least there are a few scene modes (accessible via the mode dial) including face detection mode.

Norvic Challenge races from Thorpe to Salhouse
Staff and friends of the Norvic Clinic cycled, ran and canoed as they took part in an annual team triathlon event that has now raised over £10,000 for charity.
The Norvic Challenge saw teams of three line-up at the Thorpe St Andrew clinic, which is part of Norfolk and Waveney Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust, for the event in aid of charities in Zimbabwe and India.
The teams cycled 7.5 miles from the clinic to the Fur and Feathers pub in Woodbastwick, ran from there to Salhouse Broad and canoed half a mile around the broad.
No individual prizes were on offer but there were a range of team challenges, with the City Crusaders taking the overall prize.
It was the third time that the event had taken place, with the main aim to raise money for charities, the El Shaddai Charitable Trust and the Just Children Foundation.
Sharon and Tony Freeman, staff at the Norvic Clinic, have supported the El Shaddai Charitable Trust ever since they met street children in Goa, India.
The pair were inspired to help and are now supporters of the charity that has set up children's homes, shelters and aid programmes for children.
The Just Children Foundation works with street children in Zimbabwe, where some of the Norvic Clinic staff are from.
Members of staff at the clinic were so touched by the stories of experiences with street children that they decided to hold a charity challenge for them. In 2009 they raised £2,282, last year they raised £3,593 and this year they were able to raise £4,759. Sharon Freeman, of the Norvic Clinic, said: "A big thank you to everyone that took part in the Norvic Challenge, it was a fantastic day and very much appreciated. I'd like to thank Toby and the guys at Salhouse Broad for supporting this event every year. It would not be possible without their help.
"As well as providing much needed help to the Just Children Foundation in Zimbabwe and El Shaddai in India the day is a lot of fun for hard-working NHS staff."
The race was supported by Canoe Hire Centres, Salhouse Broad and Barnes Brinkcraft.

I want to introduce you to a model of health care that will change your life. Naturopathic Medicine is a form of functional medicine. It is a century-old practice which integrates conventional and alternative approaches to health care. Naturopathic medicine concentrates on prevention and finding the underlying causes of disease. Naturopathic doctors utilize dietary and lifestyle counseling, and natural therapies, including herbal medicine, European biological medicine and bio-identical hormones to promote health and eliminate the causes of disease.
Dr Berman will look at you as a whole person and look at how each system of your body works with the other systems. She will help you to identify the underlying causes of disease rather than only treating the symptoms, although symptomatic relief will be part of your treatment plan. Dr Berman will decipher the issues that have led to the development of your health issues. Treatment and prevention methods will then be developed and implemented for you, on an individual basis to address the underlying issues.
The functional medicine approach is a partnership between the patient and the doctor. Dr Berman works with people who are committed to healing. She puts time and energy into each patient and expects that you will also put in the time and energy for your own healing. The goal of this partnership is to bring you back to health as well as to teach you about the core principles of health maintenance and prevention of disease.

Ben Mendelsohn is in early negotiations for 'Ready Player One'
Home, News, News Articles, William Tarashuk
By Will Tarashuk
@WillTarashuk
Australian actor, Ben Mendelsohn who is best known for his work in the Netflix original series, "Bloodline", is in talks to join Steven Spielberg's new movie "Ready Player One". The rumors are that he will play the main antagonist for the film but it has not been confirmed as of yet.
"Ready Player One" is set in a dystopian future where most of the population jacks into an online virtual reality world called Oasis and gets to do everything imaginable. After the creator of Oasis dies without any heirs a massive scavenger hunt filled with clues based on the creators favorite movies, games, books, comics, and so on. Whoever solves the puzzle wins Oasis and becomes the richest, most powerful person on the planet.
The movie is based off the novel by the same name by Ernest Cline. The main character is named Wade Watts. Watts is a poor orphan with a heart of gold. Olivia Cooke will play his love interest, named Art3mis, who is also him competitor.
The majority of the film takes place in the virtual world of Oasis so that leaves plenty of opportunities for CGI and other special effects to give the film some added flavor. "Ready Player One" hits theaters on December 15, 2017. Mendelsohn can next be seen in "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" later this year.

Winter citrus is out in the stores giving us warm bursts of flavor on cold and blustery days! This winter citrus salad features pale navel oranges, deep orange cara caras, and dark red blood oranges. Next time you're out, pick up a variety of oranges, a couple of avocados, and a package of mixed greens because it's time to make some salad!
Recently, when I was at the supermarket, I saw they had bags of blood oranges. Score! I snagged a bag without another thought. Then I walked by the rest of the citrus display and saw cara cara oranges. Awesome! I needed a few of those as well. I wasn't sure what I was going to make, but I knew I needed them.
And I knew that, even if I didn't come up with a new recipe, I had all sorts of citrus recipes already. Recipes like a Blood Orange Bourbon Smash or a Cara Cara Bundt Cake or Cod with Cara Cara Salsa. All great recipes! But, of course I was going to come up with something new. 🙂 That's my job!
Which meant the only question was – sweet or savory? Hmmm. Since I recently developed some Meyer Lemon Muffins (another great winter citrus) and I've been playing with my new donut pans and I've been working on a Valentine's treat, I'm a bit sugared out. So, savory it was!
When I'm thinking about recipes and trying to decide what to make, I often flip through my old papers and notes of recipes and meals long past and see if anything strikes my fancy or inspires me. This time I came across an old note about a blender made citrus vinaigrette, which was a perfect! I'd make a sliced citrus salad over mixed greens with a dressing that used a whole orange (minus the rind) to give the most citrus-y punch possible.
Once I had the dressing and concept of the recipe figured out, I needed to fill in the details. Specifically, the crunchy and creamy details! These are important details in a salad since they are the difference between a good salad and a great salad.
For the crunchy part of the salad, I chose nuts and I went with sliced almonds since I thought they would work most harmoniously with the sliced oranges. They provide just enough crunch without being too much.
Tip: Ripen avocados on the counter and then move them to the refrigerator once they are fully ripe to keep them from over-ripening. They will keep in the fridge for 3-5 days.
Blood oranges are layered with cara cara oranges and navel oranges over mixed greens in this vibrant and healthy winter citrus salad.
For the vinaigrette: Zest both the lemon and the orange and then cut off the rinds from each. Cut each into sections, removing all the seeds. Add the lemon pieces, orange pieces, zests, shallot, salt, pepper, and honey to the blender. Pulse and blend until the fruit is smooth and liquid. Then, with the blender running, slowly add the olive oil in a steady stream. The dressing will be thick. Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. You will have about 2 cups of dressing.
For the salad: Cut the rinds off of all the citrus - blood oranges, cara cara, and navel orange. Then slice the oranges through their sections into wheels. Halve the avocados and slice them the long way, then sprinkle them with a little kosher salt.
Fill the salad bowl with the mixed greens, then layer on the oranges, avocados, sweet onion, and almonds. Drizzle the salad with about 1/2 - 2/3 cup of the dressing and serve. Store the remaining dressing in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Use any mix of oranges and sweet grapefruits you find in the store.
To toast the almonds, I baked them at 350F for about 4 minutes.
If you want to add a little more flavor to the salad, toss the greens with some kosher salt before you layer them into the salad bowl.
I had to smile the minute I saw your post title. 🙂 Your salad is very similar to the one I attempted last week. Even the vinaigrette! 🙂 I didn't put shallots in mine but will try next time. Anyways, I tried taking photos of my salad and it didn't go well at all! At the end I figured it wasn't my day and crossed it off of my TO DO list for now :). Your photos look million times better than mine did :).
Oh yes? I guess great minds think alike! Too bad your pictures didn't come out though. 🙁 Some days just don't go as you wish. I've had a few of those recently myself!

January 23, 2007 -- Mark L. Morris Jr., DVM, Ph.D., pioneer researcher, educator, mentor and worldwide authority on animal nutrition, died January 14, at his home in Topeka, Kan., at the age of 72.
Dr. Morris served as trustee and vice-president of scientific activities for the Denver-based Morris Animal Foundation (MAF), which was founded by his parents, Mark and Louise Morris, in 1948 to improve the health and well-being of companion animals and wildlife. Through his guidance, MAF has become the world's largest, non-governmental, non-profit organization funding humane animal health studies with more than 1,300 studies funded since its founding.
"Dr. Morris was committed to ensuring that his father's vision of a foundation to improve the health and well-being of animals would carry on into perpetuity," said Patricia N. Olson, D.V.M., Ph.D., Morris Animal Foundation president/CEO. "We are grateful for Dr. Morris's hard work in growing the foundation and feel privileged to have worked with such a fine veterinarian and animal lover."
Dr. Morris dedicated his life's work to improving the lives of animals through nutrition. After receiving a DVM from Cornell University, College of Veterinary Medicine in 1958 and a Ph.D. in veterinary pathology and nutrition from the University of Wisconsin in 1963, he returned to Topeka, Kan., to enter the family business, Mark Morris Associates (MMA).
"His passion for the lives of all animals changed veterinary nutrition to what it is today. He worked with great energy and drive, and when he saw a need, he developed a solution. The entire veterinary community has lost a good friend, valuable contributor and mentor," said Lon Lewis, DVM, Ph.D., retired veterinary nutritionist and colleague.
In the beginning, Dr. Morris continued the work of his father, Mark L. Morris Sr., DVM. Considered the founder of veterinary clinical nutrition, Dr. Morris Sr. had proven that an animal's disease could be treated through nutrition. This revolutionary idea led him to formulate the first therapeutic diets for dogs and cats, called Prescription Diet® pet foods, and it also created a new discipline of veterinary medicine. Dr. Morris Jr. went on to greatly expand this line of diets, as well as to develop the Science Diet® line of products, which were the first premium pet foods for healthy dogs and cats. Additionally, he changed the way animals in zoological collections were fed by pioneering the ZuPreem® line of diets, the first nutritionally complete diets for these extraordinary animals.
"My grandfather was a visionary in clinical nutrition, but it was my father, Mark Morris Jr., who turned my grandfather's vision into reality, and then went on to realize his own vision by greatly expanding the body of knowledge about animal nutrition and providing innovative, quality diets for the health of all animals worldwide," said David R. Morris, president of Premium Nutritional Products, Inc., that now owns the ZuPreem line of diets for exotic pets and zoo animals.
Over his lifetime, Dr. Mark Morris Jr. researched and developed more than 150 products, most of which are still on the market today. MMA provided innovative product research and development, and Hill's provided the production, sales, marketing and distribution. The partnership was a profitable one, propelling the growth of Hill's Pet Nutrition, now owned by Colgate Palmolive Company to one of the largest pet food manufacturers in the world. Dr. Morris retired in 1988 following the sale of MMA to Colgate Palmolive Company.
Dr. Morris published widely and most notably is an original co-author of Small Animal Clinical Nutrition, the standard textbook now translated into five languages and used to educate veterinarians throughout the world. Additionally, he taught an entire generation of veterinarians about animal nutrition by lecturing at U.S. and foreign colleges of veterinary medicine, as well as speaking at more than 200 veterinary meetings around the world.
Dr. Morris was a founding member and on the board of regents of American College of Veterinary Nutrition. Other professional scientific organizations include the American Veterinary Medical Association, American Animal Hospital Association and the American Association of Veterinary Nutritionists.
Following his retirement, Dr. Morris was active in many philanthropic organizations, primarily by helping to manage their investments. His commitment to education and other civic activities spanned more than four decades.
He leaves his wife of nearly 50 years, Bette M. Morris; Ph.D., two sons, one daughter and five grandchildren.

State Probes Southern California Edison for Possible Role in Deadly Woolsey Fire
The Woolsey Fire in Ventura and Los Angeles counties is one of three large fires burning in California
By City News Service	• Published at 4:24 pm on November 12, 2018
The Woolsey fire began Thursday and burned from eastern Ventura County south into Malibu
Full containment is not expected until Nov. 17
Some residents were allowed to return home, but new evacuation orders were in effect for Calabasas
Southern California Edison is being investigated by state regulators for its possible role in the massive Woolsey Fire burning in Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
According to CPUC, electrical infrastructure may have suffered malfunctions near ground zero of the blazes.
On Thursday, SCE issued an alert to the CPUC that a substation circuit near the Woolsey Fire origin "relayed," or sensed a disturbance on the circuit, just two minutes before Cal Fire said that the devastating fire began.
The utility said personnel have not being able to access the area where the fire reportedly began.
"The CPUC is monitoring the fire conditions throughout the state, in coordination with our partners from Cal Fire and Cal OES. CPUC staff will incorporate Edison's incident report into its investigation to assess the compliance of electric facilities with applicable rules and regulations in fire impacted areas," CPUC spokeswoman Terrie Prosper said on Monday. "The CPUC staff investigation may include an inspection of the fire sites once Cal Fire allows access, as well as maintenance of facilities, vegetation management, and emergency preparedness and response. Cal Fire is the first responder and determines the sources of ignition of the fires and the way that the fires spread."
The agency is also investigating PG&E for its possible role in the Camp Fire in Butte County, which has burned 113,000 acres and resulted in at least 29 deaths, the report said.
The Woolsey Fire has burned more than 91,000 acres in Los Angeles and Ventura counties with an estimated 370 structures destroyed and at least two people killed. As of Monday afternoon, the fire was 20 percent contained.

Greetings from Los Angeles where the swaying palm trees and gentle desert breeze have me in a dream-like state. Contributing to my bliss is the fact that tonight, I'll have the privilege of seeing The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan in concert, neither of whom I've ever seen live before. How do you even begin to wrap your head around that? I don't know, so I'm not trying. What I am doing instead is dining al fresco, wondering about the sartorial stylings of my favorite rock stars (like The Beatles) and plotting to wear a black and white sequin bustier to see The Stones inspired by my research for this post. All in a day's work.
Ok, next after the Beatles: Mick Jagger. I'm just going to give this verdict up front: Mick Jagger has style, flare, panache, pizzaz, elan, whatever you call it- he has it. Let's examine the photographic evidence, shall we? However, before we go one step further, can we pause to thank the fashion designer whose genius mind conceived of the embroidered silk dinner jacket in the feature image? That is a victory for all of us. Also there is 0% chance I'm not trying red on purple sometime soon, thanks Mick.
In red, gold, green, and every color in between. Sound like a verse from the Rolling Stones? It's not.

"The costume helps you be the performer, but it also helps you keep your feet on the ground when you take it off."
Costume: a most interesting choice of words, no? It would seem to me we wear clothes to be ourselves, but costumes to become someone else. Perhaps it is in wearing such bold clothing that Mick Jagger, the man, enters the persona of Mick Jagger, The Rolling Stone. And his statement makes me feel that both characters in his life: the man and the icon, benefit from the delineation he is deliberately making with his clothing (which reminds me of another entertainer who did the same). If a bold sequin jacket helps a man, who is vulnerable and mortal and harbors fear and pain as we all do, transform into an icon, who is unassailable and invincible and somehow superhuman, I say isn't that a testament to the power of the clothes we wear?

If you have any insight on Mick Jagger's style/costume/clothing-as-prop, I'd love to hear it. Additionally, if you have any thoughts on whether Dylan and The Stones will treat us to Like A Rolling Stone, please share. I mean, don't they technically have to? Will The Stones play Gimme Shelter? The anticipation is beautiful and brutal at once.


When you open this Bibleman Flip-Over book, you'll find two exciting stories and learn two lessons from God's Word! Read about how the Bibleman team uses the power of kindness in Melting the Master of Mean. Then flip the book over to see them use the Gospel to take on a new villain in The Mayor of Maybe Doles Out Doubt.

The Irish Film Archive collects and cares for moving image material made in or about Ireland.
PLEASE NOTE: The IFI does NOT accept and cannot take responsibility for unsolicited donations (including drop-offs), please contact the Archive before sending anything into us. Unsolicited donations may be returned or disposed of at the discretion of the Head of Archive.
Having a non-purchase acquisition policy we rely on the donation of material by those eager to see films preserved and centralised in a national archive. We acquire collections from private sources, production companies and professional bodies. In addition to commercial film production, we are eager to acquire any amateur material that comes within our acquisition policy. Some of the most interesting material in our collection is of an amateur nature and provides us with a vivid document of 20th and early 21st century Ireland. These non-professional films are snapshots of Ireland at the time they were made and often record social events, community activities, traditions, pastimes or geographical details that may otherwise be forgotten. We are able to properly care for this material in special vaults, preserving it for the enjoyment of this and future generations. The Archive staff would love to hear from any members of the public who think they have material we may wish to preserve.
Why donate my film to the Irish Film Archive?
Film is a very fragile medium and needs to be stored in specific conditions of temperature and humidity to prevent it decaying. We believe that important film may still be held in private collections around the country. This film needs to be stored appropriately to ensure its preservation. The Irish Film Archive has climate- controlled vaults specially built for the preservation of film materials and our staff has expertise in the care and cataloguing of a variety of film types. Frequently the Archive will be able to present the donor with a DVD copy of the material they donate.
Another important reason to consider donating your film collection to the Irish Film Archive is the possibility that it might be nitrate stock. Cellulose nitrate film was used commercially until 1952. This film is highly flammable and has been known to spontaneously combust. It is essential that all such film is removed from the public domain. If you think you have a nitrate film please contact the Irish Film Archive immediately.
What kind of material is the Archive interested in?
Film reels of any gauge or other items related to Irish film making such as stills, scripts, posters or other film memorabilia. If you think you have found something the Irish Film Archive may find interesting please contact us. Although we may not be able to accept everything that is offered to us we will be able to advise you on how best to care for your material.
Does the Irish Film Archive own the films once they are deposited?
Although the Irish Film Archive will become the physical custodian of the material we care for the copyright holder will retain copyright ownership. In some cases the copyright holder and donor will be one and the same, in many other cases the donor will have no claim on copyright and the copyright holder will need to be contacted to allow the material to be used.
For more information on donating Archive material please contact Kasandra O'Connell or Manus McManus at 01 679 5744.

Finding the hidden and fascinating stories in Detroit
Published December 19, 2013 at 10:18 AM EST
A few years ago, I had a student named John Carlisle who graduated and got a job as a reporter and then editor for a bunch of weekly suburban newspapers. He was very good at it, and he was also bored. So in his spare time, he began roving around Detroit, boldly going to places where nice suburban white kids have almost never gone before.
He met a guy called Jay Thunderbolt who had his own personal strip club in his house. He met a blues musician who kills and eats raccoons, and a civil rights icon who runs her own chicken farm in the old Irish neighborhood of Corktown.
Carlisle was fascinated. These stories had no place in the little newspapers he edited, so he began writing them for the Metro Times, an alternative paper in Detroit. To avoid any conflict with his day job, he wrote them under the pseudonym "Detroitblogger John."
Before long, he gained a huge following. He published a book called 313: Life in the Motor City, and won an award as the area's journalist of the year. Soon the Detroit Free Press hired him to rove around the city full time and write about his kind of people.
The last time I saw him, he told me he didn't expect to run out of material any time soon. He didn't need to compete with mainstream reporters to cover bankruptcy, or even chase down the city council president who was paying a teenager to make naked videos for him, and fled town when the boy's mama found out. Who needs that when there are guys who live year-round in tents by the Detroit River?
Last Sunday, he wrote about a man who lives in an abandoned house without heat or lights, squats in the cold in an old car and operates an unlicensed brake repair shop. Detroit is filled with stories like these, and I have a hunch you will be hearing a lot more of them.
Michigan Radio has received a cooperative grant to cover the city as it moves through bankruptcy, how that impacts the community's life and its future.
The quarter of a million dollar grant is actually going to something called the Detroit Journalism Cooperative, which besides Michigan Radio, includes the Center for Michigan's Bridge Magazine, Detroit Public Television and radio, and a coalition of ethnic media outlets. My guess is that there are more than enough good and significant stories to go around.
Much of what they will be doing will likely center on the politics and economics of the bankruptcy and post-bankruptcy, and that's as it should be. But I hope they don't lose sight of the zany, too.
I used to think of the kind of stories Detroitblogger John does as fascinating diversions. But they are just as much a part of the fabric of this city as the bankruptcy judge. And there are a seemingly endless number of them.
Today, in fact, the Detroit News has one about a tidy Dutch woman who voluntarily moved into one of the city's worst neighborhoods to start a honey bee and goat farm.
If it took an economic crisis to discover fascinating stories like these, well, bankruptcy may not be all bad.

Das Bahnbetriebswerk Düsseldorf Abstellbahnhof (Kurzform Bw Düsseldorf Abstellbahnhof, betriebliche Abkürzung KDA) ist ein Bahnbetriebswerk der DB Regio AG auf dem ehemaligen Werstener Feld an der Harffstraße im Düsseldorfer Stadtteil Oberbilk. Zum Zeitpunkt seiner Eröffnung in den 1930er Jahren galt es als Prototyp der geplanten Einheitsbahnbetriebswerke der Deutschen Reichsbahn.

Geschichte

Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg stieg das Verkehrsaufkommen im Raum Düsseldorf und im Bergischen Land stark an, so dass die Werkstätten, die in der Nähe des Düsseldorfer Hauptbahnhofes lagen, zu klein wurden. Der einsetzende Ruhrschnellverkehr ließ das Projekt eines neuen Bahnbetriebswerkes nicht mehr verschieben. So begann 1928 der Bau eines Reisezug-Abstellbahnhofes mit angeschlossenem Bahnbetriebswerk, das gleichzeitig Prototyp der neuen Einheitsbahnbetriebswerke werden sollte, die durch einheitliche Standards die Betriebskosten senken sollten.

Zentrales Gebäude ist der 30-ständige Ringlokschuppen aus Stahlbeton, der von 1930 bis 1931 errichtet wurde. Das zum Maschinenamt Düsseldorf der Reichsbahndirektion Wuppertal gehörende Bahnbetriebswerk beschäftigte 1939 rund 600 Mitarbeiter.

Im Zweiten Weltkrieg schwer beschädigt, wurde das Bahnbetriebswerk Düsseldorf Abstellbahnhof weiterhin komplett genutzt. Nach Ende der Dampflokzeit Mitte der 1970er Jahre wurde das Betriebswerk für die Wartung der Züge für die S-Bahn Rhein-Ruhr zuständig. Diese Aufgabe übernimmt das Betriebswerk bis heute.

Classic Remise Düsseldorf

Der Ringlokschuppen blieb seit dem Traktionswandel in den 1970er Jahren ungenutzt. 1991 nahm die Landeshauptstadt Düsseldorf ihn in die Denkmalliste auf. Das verhinderte jedoch nicht den weiteren Verfall. Die Suche nach einer neuen Nutzung blieb erfolglos, obwohl Pläne sehr weit gediehen waren, im Ringlokschuppen historische Schienenfahrzeuge unterzubringen.

Schließlich übernahm den Ringlokschuppen eine privat-museale Institution für historische Automobile, Classic Remise, Berlin, um dort eine Dependance zu eröffnen. Nach Umbau und Restaurierung, die rund 15 Millionen Euro kosteten, eröffnete die Classic Remise Düsseldorf am 16. September 2006.

Змије у авиону () амерички је акциони филм из 2006. године у режији Дејвида Р. Елиса. Главну улогу тумачи Самјуел Л. Џексон, а прати догађаје пуштања десетина змија отровница у путнички авион у покушају убиства сведока на суђењу.

Добио је значајну пажњу пре почетка приказивања, стекавши велике базе обожавалаца и поставши интернет феномен, посебно због наслова, глумачке поставе и радње. Због великог броја обожавалаца, -{New Line Cinema}- је покренуо повратне информације онлајн корисника у своју продукцију и додао пет дана поновног снимања. Пре и после почетка приказивања, често је спомињан у телевизијским серијама и филмовима, видео-снимцима обожавалаца, видео-играма и разним облицима књижевности.

Радња
За време тренинга вожње мото-кроса на Хавајима, Шон Џоунс је сведок убиства важног америчког тужиоца, а убица је мафијаш Еди Ким. Шон добија ФБИ заштиту на лету за Лос Анђелес, где мора сведочити против Едија, а прати га агент Невил Флин. Међутим, криминалци не одустају тако лако па постављају кутију препуну змија у авион.

Q: Developed USB device not recognized on Windows/Linux - device descriptor error - RTL2832 dev board I am developing a hardware where I would like to use an SDR circuit (RTL2832). However on the first prototype the circuit does not work. It has a USB interface however when I connect it to PC the device is not recognized.
On Windows machine I got the following error:
Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)
On Linux:
usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error -71
The RTL2832 circuit is pretty simple. It has some capacitors, eeprom, its own DCDC converter for 1.2V and a USB interface. The DP and DM lines are connected with 27R to the USB interface.
The circuit got the 5V from USB, 3.3V is made by an LDO from USB 5V. The 3.3V is present, 1.2V is produced by the chip, there are no shorts on the board, no high current consumption, no heating, electrically it should work.

The USB lines looks like this:

CH1: DP
CH2: DM
Seems like the DM line is on 2.5V and there is a small ~100mVp-p signal on it.
Any idea what to debug? What can be the issue?

MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) is a standard protocol for inter-connecting computers with musical instruments, stage lighting, and other time-oriented media.
Strictly speaking, MIDI is unrelated to audio. But since MIDI is commonly used with music, this article is placed in the audio section.
The physical transport layer specified in original MIDI 1.0 is a current loop with 5-pin DIN connector.
Since MIDI 1.0, additional transports have been defined, including MIDI over USB and MIDI over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).
Android 3.1 and later support USB On-The-Go, which permits an Android device to act as USB host to drive USB peripherals. The USB host mode APIs introduced in Android 3.1 permit developers to implement MIDI over USB at the application level, but until recently there have been no built-in platform APIs for MIDI.
Beginning with the Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) release, device makers can enable optional MIDI support in the platform. Android directly supports USB, BLE, and virtual (inter-app) transports. Android indirectly supports MIDI 1.0 via an external adapter.
For details on application programming with the new MIDI APIs, see the android.media.midi package.
The remainder of this article discusses how an Android device maker can enable MIDI support in the platform.
The implementation depends on ALSA for USB host mode and USB peripheral mode transports. ALSA is not used for the BLE and virtual transports.
To enable MIDI for USB host mode, first support USB host mode in general, and then enable CONFIG_SND_RAWMIDI and CONFIG_SND_USB_MIDI in your kernel configuration. See Android Kernel Configuration.
The MIDI over USB transport is formally defined by the Universal Serial Bus Device Class Definition for MIDI Devices Release 1.0 Nov 1, 1999 standard published by the USB Implementers Forum, Inc.
To enable MIDI for USB peripheral mode, you may need to apply patches to your Linux kernel to integrate the drivers/usb/gadget/f_midi.c into the USB gadget driver. As of this writing, these patches are available for Linux kernel version 3.10. These patches have not yet been updated for ConfigFs (a new architecture for USB gadget drivers), nor are they merged at upstream kernel.org.
In addition, the end user must also check the box for MIDI in the Settings / Developer options / Networking / Select USB Configuration dialog, or by pulling down from the top of screen while attached to the USB host, selecting entry "USB for ...", and then choosing MIDI.
MIDI over BLE is always enabled, provided the device supports BLE.
The virtual (inter-app) transport is always enabled.
Applications can screen for the presence of MIDI support using the android.software.midi feature.
See the Android Compatibility Definition Document (CDD) for information on requirements to claim the feature.
While in USB host mode, Android Debug Bridge (adb) debugging over USB is unavailable. See section Wireless usage of Android Debug Bridge for an alternative.

Stanislav Kritsyuk to Keep Goal of FC Krasnodar
25.01.2016 News
A 25-year-old goalkeeper was loaned from S.C. Braga until the end of the season with a purchase option
A 25-year old keeper Stanislav Kritsyuk joined FC Krasnodar squad after moving from the Portuguese S.C. Braga on a loan with a purchase option.
Stanislav Vasilyevich Kritsyuk was born on 1 Dec 1990 in Tolyatti, Russia. Being a pupil of his hometown's Konoplev Youth Football Academy in 2008 at the age of 17 he made his debut at the Akademiya Dimitrovgrad in the Russian Second Football Division. Later he defended the colors of FC Togliatti and the same Akademiya team based in Tolyatti now. He also capped for the Russia national U-17 and U-21 teams.
In 2013 this 192 cm tall keeper signed a contract with S.C. Braga and left for Portugal. At first he played for Rio Ave F.C. on a loan, moving then to S.C. Braga B in some lower Portuguese division and finally making his debut for S.C. Braga directly in August 2014. Since then Stanislav Kritsyuk has made over 40 appearances on the goal-line of the Braga club becoming their true No.1 goalie this season. He has played full 90 minutes in 18 fixtures of the Portuguese Primeira Liga conceding just 13 goals.
As for now FC Krasnodar and S.C. Braga have agreed upon all the details of Stanislav's loan contract, so on January 27th the keeper is to join his new team at its training camp in Abu Dhabi.
