Increased transparency, better protection for users of insurance services, increased requirements for insurance brokers and brokers foresee changes in the Insurance Code, which introduce the provisions of the European Parliament and Council Directive (EC) 2016/97 of 20 January 2016 year on the distribution of insurance products. The Directive repeals Directive 2002/92 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on insurance mediation by revising and expanding the arrangements for the distribution of insurance products, both at the level of insurance intermediation and at the level of the direct supply of insurance products by the insurers themselves. Separate changes are also introduced in relation to the application of the requirements of Directive (EU) 2016/2341 on the activities and supervision of institutions for occupational retirement provision, Directive 2009/103 / EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on Third Party Liability Insurance of motor vehicles and to control the obligation to take out such insurance.
The standard of knowledge and competence that insurers, insurance intermediaries and their employees directly involved in the distribution of insurance products have to raise seriously increases. There are basic requirements for three groups depending on the nature of the offered insurance products: non-life insurance products, life insurance products and investment insurance products. Along with the basic requirements for knowing the terms of insurance contracts, the rules for filing claims and for dealing with complaints by insurance service users to distributors of insurance products are required requirements for knowledge of relevant legislation, for the availability of knowledge allowing a proper assessment of the needs of the users of insurance services, knowledge of the insurance market, applicable standards of business ethics and financial competence OCT. Against the intermediaries distributing investment insurance products, additional requirements are set for knowing the advantages and disadvantages of the different investment options offered, the financial risks to which the insured persons are exposed, the pension system and the benefits guaranteed by it. Every employee is required to increase his / her qualification as a distributor of insurance services equal to a minimum period for annual vocational training or development.
Several categories of insurance intermediaries are differentiated as follows: First category - current insurance intermediaries (insurance brokers and insurance agents) that have to meet the highest standard of knowledge and skills requirements. New category of intermediaries distributing insurance products as a supplementary activity subject to registration and must meet more limited knowledge and skills criteria (knowledge of insurance contract terms, claims rules and complaint handling) by the users of insurance services). These intermediaries will have a more limited scope of business - they will only distribute insurances related to a product or service and will not be able to offer Life and Third Party Liability insurance. These intermediaries are tied to a particular insurer similar to existing insurance agents and are registered in the same order. The third category of intermediaries will carry out the distribution of insurance products as an additional activity and is not subject to registration. These mediators have no formal criteria for market access knowledge and skills and will be supervised by the insurers whose products they distribute. Such a category of intermediaries also exists according to the current order but introduces requirements for the insurers who will distribute their products through such intermediaries. The aim is to ensure that those intermediaries comply with minimum standards for the provision of information to insurance service users as well as the basic principles of good faith in the dissemination of insurance products and to assess the needs and requirements of persons who are interested in insurance.
Before registering an insurance intermediary or an intermediary distributing insurance products as an ancillary activity, the applicant must disclose the identity of the partners and shareholders with a stake in the intermediary that exceeds 10% and of the persons with whom the firm has close links, as and that such existing links do not prevent the effective exercise of oversight by the intermediary. New rules are introduced for the cross-border conduct and supervision of insurance mediation activities. There is a detailed procedure for the transmission of notifications between supervisory authorities as well as a mechanism for the allocation of powers between the supervisory authorities of the home Member State and the Member State of the branch of the insurance intermediaries. A new regime for updating insurance sums is introduced, according to the growth of consumer prices, where the changes will be made by a regulation of the European Commission, adopted on a proposal of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority. This will avoid the need for any updating of the Insurance Code to be amended as the new size changes will have a direct effect. Narylica is required to provide a standardized information document for the insurance product when insuring non-life insurance, which must be short, clear, comprehensible and readable.
Recent changes in the Law on the Bulgarian National Bank are in line with the commitment to Bulgaria's participation in Currency Mechanism II (ER II), which was submitted to the European Central Bank (ECB) for close cooperation under Art. (7) of Council Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 of 15 October 2013 assigning the European Central Bank specific tasks concerning policies relating to the prudential supervision of credit institutions in the framework of the Single European Monetary Oversight Mechanism. The aim is to ensure the necessary legislative changes governing the role of the ECB in the national supervisory framework of banking financial institutions as of the date of the close cooperation. The adoption of the necessary changes in legislation related to the ECB's powers in the close cooperation period is one of the measures of the Action Plan adopted by the Bulgarian Government, including measures to implement the Republic of Bulgaria's intentions to join ERM II, and to the Banking Union. The draft law was developed in accordance with the provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 which governs the legal framework for close cooperation between the ECB and a participating Member State whose unit is not the euro requiring the competent national authority or the authority designated at national level to comply with the guidelines , guidelines, measures or requests issued by the ECB in respect of supervised entities established within its territory designated pursuant to Decision ECB / 2014/5.
Additions are made to the provisions related to the powers of the Governing Council of the Bulgarian National Bank in close cooperation. Supervision of the banking system is carried out by the Deputy Governor in charge of the Banking Supervision Department, in the conditions of close cooperation according to a statutory order and the normative acts issued for its implementation. The exchange of information is ensured within the framework of the close cooperation established with the ECB. The Bulgarian National Bank will collect annual fees to cover the administrative costs arising from the oversight and restructuring functions of supervised institutions. The Transitional and Final Provisions make amendments and additions to the Credit Institutions Act, which create Chapter Eleven "a" - "Close Cooperation". As of the date of its inception, the BNB will follow the guidelines and requests issued by the ECB and will take the necessary steps to implement the ECB's legal acts, including by issuing the necessary administrative acts. The powers of the BNB to issue individual administrative acts in respect of regulated entities are defined at the request of the ECB. Regarding the significant supervised entities or significant supervised groups established in the Republic of Bulgaria, the BNB will only issue individual administrative acts upon a request issued by the ECB in pursuance of its prudential supervision tasks. With regard to less significant supervisors or less significant supervised groups established in the Republic of Bulgaria, the BNB will only issue individual administrative acts upon a request issued by the ECB and in full compliance with it, unless in Regulation (EU) No 1024/2013 or in a legal act of the ECB is not otherwise provided.
The BNB shall apply the ECB's requests for the application of higher capital buffers requirements or for the implementation of measures aimed at eliminating systemic or macro-prudential risks at the level of credit institutions where the ECB considers that such risk- higher requirements or stricter measures are needed. The draft law provides for the exchange of information, providing that the BNB provides the ECB with all the information necessary to carry out its tasks - including that which constitutes banking and professional secrecy. In connection with the ECB's performance of the assessments required to participate in the European Union's Uniform Oversight Mechanism by establishing close cooperation, credit institutions in the Republic of Bulgaria will provide the ECB with the data and documents provided for by law. Within the framework of the assessment, credit institutions shall provide the ECB with the opportunity to carry out on-the-spot checks at their premises and at the premises of other undertakings included in the supervision.

I find it a little odd that you call the parking at Ralph's "dicey" . . .
. . .and yet you enjoy shopping at Trader Joe's where it's been a huge hassle and nearly impossible to find a parking spot every time I've ever tried to go there (and I'm guessing you're talking about the one at Riverside and Hazeltine)!
Just found your blog and am enjoying it already. I live just up the street from the former Red Chariot and had never heard that Glen Edward Rogers had frequented the place!!
You busted me on that parking-lot distinction.
I was thinking more along the lines of the Starbucks lot vs. the Ralphs lot, and I happened to just be in the Ralphs lot, which was pretty tight at 9:30 or so in the morning.
Yeah, the Trader Joe's lot is worse, no question.
But the prices and selection at Trader Joe's are worth duking it out with three-dozen Camrys and their less-than-with-it drivers.


Voltedge » The Hartnett Enterprise Acceleration Centre at the Limerick Institute of Technology (LIT).
John Hartnett, the President of the Irish Technology Leadership Group and whom the building was named after was present at the event to receive this honour from his alma mater.
Following below are excerpts from the speech he gave in June to a gathering of some 300 people including the Minister of Finance Michael Noonan, the outgoing Mayoress of Limerick Marie Byrne and Dr. Maria Hinfelaar President of the LIT amongst others.
Probably the biggest one, which doesn't recognised, is venture capital. Access to money is so important for young companies and right now in Ireland today access to capital is tough.Our relationship will hopefully create a gateway to that capital. Not just to our fund but to the syndication of our funds in Silicon Valley and help drive that investment into Irish companies.

Long Island ADU Debate Began Decades Ago
by Sidney Essex
The question of how to handle accessory dwelling units (ADUs) has been dominating Long Island's housing discourse recently. This debate did not come out of nowhere. A 1988 New York Times article recently discovered in the Regional Plan Association archives details a dispute between the Long Island Board of Realtors, who called for legalizing ADUs, and the local governments of certain Long Island towns, who opposed legalization.
In 1988 Long Island was adding jobs faster than new housing according to the Times, who wrote that "a house is beyond the means of most people who don't already own one." Regional Plan Association was advocating for the legalization of ADUs as one means to close this gap. Then-Senior Vice President William Shore told the Times that he thought legalization was inevitable, because most town governments "don't want to raise a fuss and they certainly don't want to stop it, because a lot of their constituents are doing it." Unfortunately, Bill Shore was wrong as evidenced by the concerns raised by many local officials on Long Island earlier this year.
For the past three years, RPA has published several pieces of research and advocacy which demonstrate how legalizing accessory dwelling units can make the region more affordable, equitable, and safe. Our July 2020 report, Be My Neighbor, found that the region could add hundreds of thousands of desperately-needed new homes, many of which would be near public transit, by permitting ADUs and conversions of large single-family homes and supporting these new typologies with technical and financial assistance programs. RPA performed a similar analysis in southwestern Connecticut - Be My Neighbor in Fairfield County - which found the county could add 40,000 new homes through ADUs and conversions of large single-family homes. In October 2021, RPA created fact sheets outlining how various counties across New York State would benefit from the proposed Accessory Homes Act, while also writing letters to both Governor Hochul and the New York State legislature's leadership advocating for this bill. Unfortunately, the bill and other parallel efforts to legalize ADUs were unsuccessful in 2022, due in part to concerns from government officials on Long Island.
Untapped Housing Solutions: ADUs and Conversions
Then and now, the safety of tenants within these unlicensed apartments has been central to the debate. The Times reported that the illegal and unregulated nature of ADUs meant that they were often unsafe, pointing to a 1985 fire in Englewood, New Jersey in which "seven people, including the tenants of an illegal attic apartment, died." ADU safety – and the current lack thereof – is one point of focus within RPA's most recent report, Preventing Another Ida, which recommends legalizing and supporting ADUs to minimize the loss of life and property damage from extreme rainfall flooding.
Earlier this year, RPA produced a series of videos with Make the Road New York which highlighted the lived experiences of people struggling with housing insecurity and living within ADUs, including two residents impacted during Hurricane Ida. The videos focused on three New Yorkers struggling to stay above water, allowing them to explain the impact that legal ADUs could have on their lives, as well as those in similar situations.
Despite the setbacks earlier this year, Regional Plan Association will continue to advocate for legalizing and supporting ADUs on Long Island and throughout the region.

Electronic Medical Records: Imagining the End Game Shapes The System, So Who Gets to Imagine the End Game?
Harold March 26, 2009 - 10:10 am February 26, 2013 General, Tales of the Sausage Factory end game
"When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail." When you are a doctor, it is all about you.
According to Dr. David Kibbe, spokescritter for the American Assoc. of Family Physicians, the whole point of switching to electronic medical records is: "for doctors' offices and hospitals to be able to easily share patient information, something the vast majority can't do today. That would cut down on mistaken and unnecessary procedures and give doctors faster access to more accurate information about patients' medical histories and drug regimens."
But there are, in fact many other advantages to electronic medical records. One, for example, is to facilitate patient choice of doctor or specialist by making it easy for the patient to access, or provide access, to all medical records in one place. Right now, my ability to switch from my current practitioner to another practitioner is dependent on my collecting my medical info and moving it to my preferred doctor. The law requires my current Doctor to allow this, but it does not require them to make it easy for me.
The Media Ownership Endgame: Martin's Opening Gambit on Newspaper-TV Cross Ownership
Harold November 14, 2007 - 12:56 am November 14, 2007 Media Ownership, Tales of the Sausage Factory broadcast media, cable market, colleagues, end game, endgame, kevin martin, media ownership, michael powell
As I've said before, Kevin Martin plays a mean game of hardball — but an honest one. And while I'm happy to have him on the right side in limiting cable market power, it makes fighting on the media ownership side an utter bitch and a half. Like Belichik prepping the Patriots, Martin has carefully studied the mistakes of Michael Powell, studied the strategies of the media reform movement, carefully considered his own strengths and weaknesses, and set up his game plan with a determination to win.
This tends to make some of my friends and colleagues in the movement hate Martin personally, or get bogged down in the distractions and the moves Martin throws. But that's as stupid as letting yourself get distracted by trash talk. To win this fight, we need to keep our eye on the game, stay nimble, have our own special teams prepped, and remember we're in this to win in the long haul.
With this in mind, we turn to the opening moves in Broadcast Media Ownership Endgame. Martin already has one key advantage in that because he is the Chairman, he can set the agenda. He controls the timing and can float trial balloons, decide when to hold new hearings or release new studies, and finally declare when he wants a vote. Martin demonstrated his skill in this over the last month, gradually building to the end game, alternating period when nothing seemed to be happening with sudden frenzied activity. Each such move requires us to mobilize resources and exhaust ourselves, and forces us to make process demands for more time and reasonable opportunities for comment. Martin can then chose to acede to our requests in a limited way, letting a deadline slip a few weeks or postponing something by a month. This makes it look like Martin is being reasonable and accommodating, and casts us in the role of partisan foot draggers. Worse, it makes it increasingly difficult to mobilize our troops, because how many times do we have to fight and win these minor skirmishes over procedural issues and timing? People get tired of the issue, or think we already won when what we achieved was merely a temporary respite. Then, like a matador administering the coup de grace on the exhausted bull, Martin plunges his point directly into the heart. ('Scuse me a minute, I need to check to see if my ears and tail are still attached.)
But Martin has now clearly committed to the final moves of the end game with a PR blitz/charm offensive similar in many ways to his approach in the 700 MHZ proceeding. And, as with the C Block "open access" condition, I do not expect Martin to make signifcant changes to his proposal now that he has put himself out in front and committed to a public position. Martin the Matador has dropped the cloak and gone for the sword. The question is whether the media reform bull is as exhausted or confused as Martin thinks, or if we still have sufficient wits and stamina to give him a surprise.

The 700 MHz Auction Pre-Show: Live from the AT&T/Aloha Bowl!
Harold October 9, 2007 - 11:48 pm October 9, 2007 Spectrum, Tales of the Sausage Factory bidders, collusion, digital transition, end game, mhz auction, speculations, telecom world
The pre-game show for the 700 MHz auction has definitely gone into full swing. Lets ignore for the moment the purely regulatory shenanigans such as Verizon's war of litigation and regulatory maneuver. Let's pause for a moment to consider some of the player training and pre-game jockeying for position. Notably, today's big announcement that AT&T will buy Aloha Partners 700 MHz licenses.
"Whoa!" I hear you cry. "How did Aloha Partners (or anyone else) get 700 MHz licenses? I thought the auction wasn't until January!" Well, for reasons I will address below, the FCC actually auctioned some of these licenses back in 2002 and 2003. Aloha Partners won a fair number of them dirt cheap (since at the time no one knew if the broadcasters would ever finish the digital transition and get off the spectrum), and then began a steady stream of acquisitions, culminating in the purchase last month of Lin TV's 700 MHz licenses, giving them a total of 270 licenses overall and healthy coverage in the major markets of the southwest, south, east coast, and portions of the midwest. (You can see and old map of the major coverage areas here.)
And now, in what has become the all too familiar paradigm for the telecom world, AT&T has turned around and swallowed Aloha Partners 700 MHz licenses. What does this mean? What impact for the auction? For other deals? Will this impact the regulatory end game?
My speculations are even wilder-ass than usual, given the utter lack of real data. But if you're up for a walk through the entrails with me, see below . . . .

Myriad of Tips For Renting a Portable John by Parker City, Indiana!
Renting a porta potty may not be something you think of on a everyday basis, but when you find yourself in need of them you're going to want an education on what's included in the process.Most people used a porta potty at some time in their life, but when the time comes to actually acquire several for an event, the process can bemore difficult than you would think.
Whether you're having an indoor or outdoor event, if you plan on having greater than a few dozen attendees then you'll have to start thinking about restroom options. You should think about how formal your occasion is going to be, how long it will last and the number of of attendees you are expecting. Researching the rental company and the varieties of porta potties they offer is sound advice before simply renting any old stalls.
Foremost, think about the different portable toilet choices that you'll be presented with when going with a rental service. The formality of your event will help you to decide if you would prefer a portajohn or a toilet trailer, but often times you may require both. A good question to ask your portable toilet vendor is what kind of hand washing options they have with their stalls and any options for lighting if your event will linger into the night. Be sure to ask about service options available during your occasion, particularly if there is very hot weather anticipated, since you may need to arrange for the stalls to be serviced at times.
The best choice for entry level porta potty rentals involving smaller occasions are usually going to be the single-stall option that you often have seen on construction sites. For larger or more classy events, you can go for the entire bathroom trailer option, which gives you a full restroom area for guests to use. Every portable toilet stall you choose should have a sanitation option, toilet paper and paper towels at the very least. If you have a smaller event and just need the most basics of portable toilets, you can always opt for an outside hand washing basin. The VIP portable toilets are equipped with all of the supplies that are needed, including a appealing smell in an air freshener.
The most important decision you can make before renting is to figure out how many portable toilets you will need for your guests. The rule of thumb for porta potty amounts versus crowd size is that you will need one stall for every ten people, if you are utilizing the stalls on a work site or longer term project. For private events or special occasions, the general rules is to have at least two stalls per 50 people, although this number can go up if there is a substantial amount of refreshments involved. For larger events, such as a wedding or concert with over a hundred guests, you could easily be looking at dozens of stalls required.
There are a variety of situations when you can benefit by having a porta potty rental on site for any occasion that has large amounts of people. Corporate functions, charity events, and weddings are examples of cases when it makes sense to have the high end restroom options. In these scenarios, your attendees are dressed in nice, and they need clean, quality restroom facilities when they need them. The purpose of these mobile toilets would be to try and mimic the bathroom experience one would enjoy while at a smaller indoors event.
Before making your selection you will benefit from having an understanding of the various types of selections that come with your portable toilet rental. A basic portable toilet is equipped with several sanitary amenities like tissue paper, seat cover, a holding tank, dispenser, and door lock as well as indicators. A deluxe flushing toilet has additional sanitary options besides having the selections of a basic restroom. A few of the options you could go with include higher end portable toilets with hand soap dispensers, washing stations and mirrors. These addons are great for large outdoor weddings or formal events because guests will want to check how they look, and having an indoor light is an additional option.
If you are renting the average portable toilet then you're likely looking at an average price of between fifty and seventy-five dollars per day. The prices could also change based on the vendor and season. The more upscale portable toilets can possibly run up to 0 each day, and if you desire a fully loaded option you might be looking at spending as much as 0. Thinking about these points are important when contacting a vendor to rent your porta potty from. Regardless of who you select to fulfill your porta potty needs, you can't go wrong as long as you're asking the best questions ahead of time.

"Global Warming Policy Foundation"…Headed by Nigel Lawson(Ex Minister in Thatcher's government) and Benny(Benjamin?)Peiser. A "Charitable Foundation"…does that mean Donations are Tax Deductable? The Donors have NOT been revealed publicly, so, I imagine its just another "Think Tank" run by very influential people for Political purposes, while the people pay for it(in uncollected taxes) from this "Charity"…….
There's no doubt about it, Charitable Foundations don't actually 'give' anything to anyone…They just get Tax Benefits for what ever "barrow" they are pushing.
By that standard we would have to ignore any and all science and academic output which is all the result of some such institution or organization.
There have to be more than one side engaged to have any debate on an issue.
Either the "green deal" is workable or? We should just go on faith?
In this case, the abundantly funded and promoted AGW fearmongers' "solutions" fall well short, in fact fail entirely.
Who will be left to do without power?

Waveform engineering and behavioral modeling application information.
The traditional RF power amplifier designer has relied for years on current-voltage characteristics, S-parameters, load-pull, AM-AM and AM-PM behavior, scalar power and output spectrum to design their non-linear devices. It is only recently that companies like Mesuro (acquired by Focus Microwaves in 2015) have developed WaveForm Engineering techniques driving both the measurement and mathematical analysis required for engineers to optimise at all stages of the development, which includes transistor optimization, circuit design, and system integration.
To extract the Cardiff Model Lite, a fundamental tone drives the device, which is itself simultaneously stimulated with a small signal tone at each harmonic frequency. The internal independent phase controllable source of the network analyser is used as the stimulus. The phase of this generator is swept with at least 6 different phases measured to allow the model to predict performance correctly. This perturbation process can be completed on both sides of the device. If a device performing in non-50Ω conditions is considered, a Cardiff Model + behavioral model is generated, using load pull data analysis.
The Cardiff Model Unit can be added to an existing VNA, and modeling results extracted in ADS or Microwave Office.


Something is dying. What is getting born?
Did something die long ago, and did I simply not recognize it?
Was the thing that died real? I think it was the realest thing that ever happened to me, but was it real? Some say not.
There is something I don't want to die and don't want to lose connection with. It may not be my choice and as I say, this may have already happened, I may be the last to know.
I do not want the truth to be as empty as it seems now — and I don't think it is, actually. I also don't want it to be past.
What do I gain by allowing myself to be overburdened with service to others? Evasion of self, or of my own value, surely.
Also: part of my funk has to do with having stood up for myself, again. There is more to say on this.
Shedding this so-called activist role.
The issue in what I am doing is lack of mutuality, long-standing. Each person sees in the other(s) a path to something they want. They like each other too, but primarily they symbolize things to each other and are trying to get those things out of each other. This is the problem. I was in a romance once that was like that.


ArcView Group CEO Troy Dayton was sitting outside the Cannabis Capital Summit in Denver on May 29 when he started talking hard numbers — in the millions of dollars. I'll write up the full interview with Dayton next week — as ArcView is a well-known San Francisco angel-investment firm whose members fund cannabis-related projects and businesses — but for now we have this teaser, specifically angled at those of you who are looking to invest in cannabis.
Of course most of us don't have $2 million to invest. So what if we want to invest $5,000-$50,000 — what advice does Dayton have to offer?
"Stay away from the penny stocks," Dayton told The Cannabist.
Penny stocks trade for $1 or less (often costing less than a cent per share) and are known for their erratic behavior. Some players cash in big-time on the stocks. Others lose their shirts when these stocks have their trading suspended by the SEC — or worse, disappear.
"If you are going to play in the public markets or with any of the penny stocks, do a lot of research on these companies. Most of them are complete BS. There are some legitimate companies. They're overvalued at the moment, but that's not uncommon. There's still a way to win with overvalued companies because there's a lot of exuberance.
"But be careful. I watch a lot of people blow a lot of money on companies that are press release writers — they're not businesses.
"It's a very unfortunate thing about the way U.S. investing works: In order to invest in companies, you have to be an accredited investor. Meaning: Only rich people can invest in private companies. It's absurd. It's a terrible law. And there are some changes coming to that in the next six months to a year, and we will start to see some changes that will allow the non-accredited investor to be able to invest in private companies.
Dayton then caught himself. Penny stocks have their dangers, but he also embraces anybody who is excited about investing in cannabis.
"And also, welcome! There's a reason why people are so excited about this industry. It's something that they believe in. They want to have a piece of the next great American industry. It's a wonderful impulse. And they're rationally exuberant.

Q: strcmp segmentation fault Here is a problem from spoj. nothing related to algorithms, but just c
Sample Input
2
a aa bb cc def ghi
a a a a a bb bb bb bb c c
Sample Output
3
5
it counts the longest sequence of same words
http://www.spoj.pl/problems/WORDCNT/
The word is less than 20 characters
But when i run it, it's giving segmentation fault. I debugged it using eclipse. Here's where it crashes
if (strcmp(previous, current) == 0)
                currentLength++;

with the following message
No source available for "strcmp() at 0x2d0100"
What's the problem?
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
#include <cstdio>
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    int t;
    cin >> t;
    while (t--) {
        char line[20000], previous[21], current[21], *p;
        int currentLength = 1, maxLength = 1;
        if (cin.peek() == '\n') cin.get();
        cin.getline(line, 20000);

        p = strtok(line, " '\t''\r'");
            strcpy(previous, p);

        while (p != NULL) {
            p = strtok(NULL, " '\t''\r'");
            strcpy(current, p);

            if (strcmp(previous, current) == 0)
                currentLength++;
            else
                currentLength = 1;
            if (currentLength > maxLength)
                maxLength = currentLength;
        }
        cout << maxLength << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

A: The problem is probably here:
    while (p != NULL) {
        p = strtok(NULL, " '\t''\r'");
        strcpy(current, p);

While p may not be NULL when the loop is entered.
It may be NULL when strcpy is used on it.
A more correct form of the loop would be:
    while ((p != NULL) && ((p = strtok(NULL, " \t\r")) != NULL))
    {
        strcpy(current, p);

Note. Tokenizing a stream in C++ is a lot easier.
std::string  token;
std::cin >> token;  // Reads 1 white space seoporated word

If you want to tokenize a line
// Step 1: read a single line in a safe way.
std::string line;
std::getline(std::cin, line);

// Turn that line into a stream.
std::stringstream  linestream(line);

// Get 1 word at a time from the stream.
std::string token;
while(linestream >> token)
{
    // Do STUFF
}

A: Forgot to check for NULL on strtok, it will return NULL when done and you cannot use that NULL on strcpy, strcmp, etc.
Note that you do a strcpy right after the strtok, you should check for null before doing that using p as a source.

A: The strtok man page says:
 Each call to strtok() returns a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the next
token. This string does not include the delimiting character. If no more tokens are found,
strtok() returns NULL.

And in your code,
while (p != NULL) {
            p = strtok(NULL, " '\t''\r'");
            strcpy(current, p);

you are not checking for NULL (for p) once the whole string has been parsed. After that you are trying to copy p (which is NULL now) in current and so getting the crash.

A: You will find that one of previous or current does not point to a null-terminated string at that point, so strcmp doesn't know when to stop.
Use proper C++ strings and string functions instead, rather than mixing C and C++. The Boost libraries can provide a much safer tokeniser than strtok.

A: You probably undersized current and previous. You should really use std::string for this kind of thing- that's what it's for.

A: You are doing nothing to check your string lengths before copying them into buffers of size 21. I bet that you are somehow overwriting the end of the buffer.

A: If you insist on using C strings, I'd suggest using strncmp instead of strcmp. That way, in case you are ending up with a non-null terminated string (which is what I suspect is the case), you can restrict your compare to the max length of the string (in this case 21).

A: Try this one...
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>
#define T(x) strtok(x, " \n\r\t")
char line[44444];
int main( )
{
        int t; scanf("%d\n", &t);
        while(t--)
    {
            fgets(line, 44444, stdin);
            int cnt = 1, len, maxcnt = 0, plen = -1;
            for(char *p = T(line); p != NULL; p = T(NULL))
        {
                len = strlen(p);
                if(len == plen) ++cnt;
                    else cnt = 1;

            if(cnt > maxcnt)
                 maxcnt = cnt;
                    plen = len;
            }
        printf("%d\n", maxcnt);
        }
        return 0;
    }

I will have to explore what EmEditor can do then. Sorry if my question about the configurations was not clear. I mean that when I create a new file in C++ or HTML, there is already header code and I wanted to know if there was a way to remove that and just start out with a blank file. Just a suggestion, but it would be nice if the required and optional parameters were shown when using the word complete plugin.

NAB executive charged over $40m fraud granted bail
Photo: Rosemary Rogers is accused of receiving $5.4 million in bribes. (Supplied)
A former National Australia Bank (NAB) executive has been charged with 56 offences relating to an alleged $40 million fraud, after she handed herself in to police on Tuesday. Rosemary Rogers was chief of staff to former NAB boss Andrew Thorburn and his predecessor Cameron Clyne.
Police will allege Ms Rogers received $5.4 million worth of bribes in the form of paid personal expenses from a contractor to maintain the contract with the business and approve overstated invoices.
Police allege the bribes included lavish trips to Sydney and a luxury resort at Wolgan Valley in New South Wales.
There was also a month-long stay in the United States, as well as private helicopter transfers and a boat.
Ms Rogers handed herself in to officers at Surry Hills Police Station at 11:00am on Tuesday and was charged later in the afternoon.
Magistrate Robert Williams granted Ms Rogers bail with strict conditions at Sydney's Central Local Court.
Those conditions include a curfew, that Ms Rogers surrenders her passport, that she not contact her co-accused Ms Rosamond and that she reports daily to police near her home in Melbourne.
"The facts are quite extensive," the magistrate said.
"The court would consider, after looking at those facts, that there is a strong prosecution case."
The magistrate added that Ms Rogers would likely receive time in jail if convicted.
Ms Rogers said "thank you" to the magistrate when he granted her bail.
The court heard that police had executed 20 search warrants, obtained 100 witness statements and evidence including phone documents, computers, emails and forensic accounting.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Geha said Ms Rogers had worked at NAB for 20 years, including nine years as chief of staff to the CEO.
"She held a position of advantage ... the crimes were simply motivated by greed and benefits to her and her family to lead a very luxurious life," he said.
Ms Rogers' lawyer Matthew McAuliffe said his client did not pose a flight risk because she had known about the investigation since November 2017 and had not fled.
"Ms Rogers voluntarily flew at her own expense from Melbourne to see police, so she is well aware of the allegation and has been well aware ... since 2017," he said.
"So she has had over a year to abscond if that was what she wanted to do, but instead, she flew to New South Wales to be greeted by police."
Mr McAuliffe said his client could not put up a large surety for her bail because the crime commission had frozen all of her assets, but consequently she also could not afford to abscond.
The matter was adjourned for two weeks, and Ms Rogers was excused from appearing.
Further arrests possible
In a statement, a NAB spokesperson said the bank was cooperating with police.
"The alleged fraud was reported by a whistleblower," they said.
"NAB responded immediately, investigated and reported it to police.
"If the alleged fraud is proven, it represents a most serious breach of trust by a former employee.
"NAB is the victim in this matter. Police have confirmed that no one at NAB is under investigation, including former CEO Andrew Thorburn, and there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing by anyone at NAB."
Mr Thorburn quit the NAB's top job at the end of last month amid the fallout from the banking royal commission.
Last week, NSW Police charged Helen Rosamond with 56 counts of bribing an agent and two counts of gaining benefit by deception amounting to $6 million.
Ms Rosamond is a director of events management company Human Group, a supplier to the bank for about 12 years.
Police allege the offending happened between 2013 and 2017.
NSW Police say they have not ruled out further arrests and the investigation is still ongoing.
In February last year, NSW Police started investigating allegations of corrupt commissions being paid for contracts with the bank.
Investigators allege the fraud amounted to about $40 million over five years.

BJP state president Surya Pratap Shahi on Thursday sent his resignation to party national president Nitin Gadkari, owing moral responsibility for the electoral debacle in Uttar Pradesh elections. Shahi sent a letter to the BJP national president offering his resignation from the post of state president on Wednesday, party sources said here. "I have written a personal letter to the national president and will not elaborate much on it," Shahi said. The BJP, which won 51 seats in the 2007 polls, was reduced to 47 this time. Even Shahi, who contested from Pathardeva seat in Kushinagar, lost in the elections.

Houbi donates $1 million to UNICEF to help boost blockchain development
The philanthropic arm of Huobi, a leading blockchain company, has committed $1 million to UNICEF to help foster global blockchain innovations that have the potential to impact children and young people across the world.
Huobi Charity Limited announced on Tuesday that it was giving $1 million in both Bitcoin (BTC) and fiat (USD) to the cause. The first part of the donation was in BTC, making it the first time UNICEF is receiving a Bitcoin donation from an institution since the launch of its CryptoFund.
Speaking of UNICEF's CryptoFund, the new financial vehicle allows the company to accept, hold, and disburse digital assets. In addition to the UNICEF Innovation Fund, both initiatives provide fiat and cryptocurrency funding to early-stage startups that are beneficial to children.

Spratt shines on final stage of Boels Rental Ladies Tour
Sun 6 Sep 2015
After yesterday's top ten finish from Lizzie Williams, it was Amanda Spratt's turn to shine on the final day of the Boels Rental Ladies Tour, finishing in tenth position.
Spratt, part of ORICA-AIS's six strong all-Australian team, spent most of the day out front before the final climb where she just couldn't hold on to the leaders. Thalita de Jong (RBW) took the win, just ahead of Longo Borghini (WHT) and Lisa Brennauer (VEL), who sealed the general classification win.
Whilst part of an 11-rider breakaway early on, Spratt took two third places in the second and third mountain sprints, before the group got caught by the peloton. Despite a few attacks from the peloton, the race was decided in the final kilometer in an uphill sprint to the line, where Spratt just couldn't quite stay out front.
"Amanda just got stronger and stronger as the race went on", said sport director Gene Bates. "She was riding well and spent most of the day out front, but just ran out of legs on the final sprint."
"I was really happy with the rest of the team as well. We had some bad luck, with Macey (Stewart) having a puncture before the first climb, and Gracie (Elvin) also getting a puncture whilst she was with the front group."
"Our number one goal for this tour was to gain fitness and get as best prepared as we could for the world championships. And although our results could have been better, we have definitely attained our goal.
"We now have a week to go home and rest before we head out to Richmond where I am confident we will hit the ground running. We have come out of the last six days injury-free and I think the girls really have found a lot of fitness. As far as I am concerned, it is good times in our camp ahead of the worlds."
The team will now look ahead the UCI Road World Championships in Richmond, Viriginia, USA which begin on 19th September.


Above you can see an example of a simple item that we did for a Pirates of the Caribbean pinball. We sculpted a sand base and barrel out of clay and made our molds. Final product was made from a white resin and then hand painted and airbrushed .
Above you can see an example of a one-piece mold used to create this Davy Jones Cannon. Original was carved out of a white wax and then to save time real shells where attached. After that a mold was poured and the final product was again made from a white resin. Lastly the final piece was airbrush and moss applied along with other hardware.
Above you can see another example of a one-piece mold. This original was hand carved out of 3 pieces of wood. A silicone mold was cast and the final product was poured out of a lightweight resin. Final other decorative sea life pieces where sculpted and cast and applied to the final product. Airbrushing followed along with adding final hardware for install.
Above you can see an example of a 2-piece mold being created for a solid brass pinball trophy. Both halves of the mold were pored and locking point installed for proper lining up of the mold.
Above you can see a few of the trophies we created out of plaster for our client using the 2-piece mold.
Above is the final product. Trophies where primed and then painted with a graphite gray paint. Giving the final product more of a metal look to it. Also, we laser some custom plates for each off them and attach felt bottoms.
Check back for some more examples of our mold making and casting in other materials.

Religion ghosts in anti-vax wars: Why do some believers say this is a religious liberty fight?
From the start, there have been religion-news hooks in the news coverage of the movement claiming that vaccines against some childhood diseases — measles and others — do more harm than good.
For starters, large communities of Orthodox Jews live in New York City, which all but guarantees coverage by newsrooms that help define what news matters and what news does not. In this case, I think that we are dealing with an important subject — one that editors should assign to teams that include religion-beat professionals.
Here at GetReligion, I have received emails from readers that, in so many words, say: This is what happens when religious traditionalists start shouting "religious liberty" and saying that God wants them to do something crazy.
Let me state right up front: There are church-state implications in some of these cases, with the state claiming the right to force parents to take actions that violate their religious convictions. Then again, people who follow debates about religious liberty know that clashes linked to health, prayer, healing and parental rights are tragically common. Click here to see some GetReligion posts about coverage of cases in which actions based on religious beliefs have been labeled a "clear threat to life and health."
So let's go back to the measles wars. Many of the mainstream news reports on this topic have covered many of the science and public health arguments. What's missing, however, is (a) material about why some religious people believe what they believe and (b) whether decades of U.S. Supreme Court rulings apply to these cases.
Consider, for example, the long, detailed Washington Post story that just ran with this headline: "Meet the New York couple donating millions to the anti-vax movement." Here's the overture:
A wealthy Manhattan couple has emerged as significant financiers of the anti-vaccine movement, contributing more than $3 million in recent years to groups that stoke fears about immunizations online and at live events — including two forums this year at the epicenter of measles outbreaks in New York's ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
Hedge fund manager and philanthropist Bernard Selz and his wife, Lisa, have long donated to organizations focused on the arts, culture, education and the environment. But seven years ago, their private foundation embraced a very different cause: groups that question the safety and effectiveness of vaccines.
How the Selzes came to support anti-vaccine ideas is unknown, but their financial impact has been enormous. Their money has gone to a handful of determined individuals who have played an outsize role in spreading doubt and misinformation about vaccines and the diseases they prevent.
Why are they doing this? That's a mystery and the Selz Foundation staff don't want to talk about it.
One of the other big players in this story is Del Bigtree, a former daytime television show producer, who is the leader and public face of a key anti-vax charity, the Informed Consent Action Network. Lisa Selz is the group's president.
Do you need a religion hook to explore? Consider this one:
Bigtree's appearances before ultra-Orthodox Jewish audiences in New York this spring, at the heart of the outbreak, have been particularly controversial. Some critics blasted his use of Holocaust imagery, including a yellow star of David he wore on his lapel during a March rally. ….
Bigtree said he did so to protest Rockland County's attempt this spring to ban unvaccinated children from public places. "They were going to quarantine them during Passover," he said during a Brooklyn forum earlier this month. "They weren't going to be allowed in their own synagogues. I pulled out a yellow star of David . . . and I said, 'I stand with the Orthodox Jewish Community in Rockland County, New York.' "
At this point I really want to know why — in terms of Jewish law and tradition — some Orthodox Jewish leaders believe that certain vaccines (or is it all vaccines) are sinful or wrong.
Is this simply a rejection of modernity? Or is there more to this debate than that? After all, lots of Jewish laws and tradition are pretty earthy and practical. Traditional forms of this faith, of course, have a lot to say about what people do with their bodies — from what food is kosher to when people can use their automobiles.
My point is that these subjects are often linked to specific traditions, laws and interpretations of scripture. In other words, there is religious content here that readers might need to know, if the goal is to understand what's going on and why.
What about the religious liberty questions? Consider the top of this recent story from the Rockland/Westchester Journal News, care of the USA Today network:
Orthodox Jewish leaders and advocates in Rockland generally support the new state law that ends religious exemptions for vaccines, but have concerns that the legislation could infringe on religious liberties and lead to other efforts to do so.
"I share the deep concern that this bill sets a precedent to infringe on religious liberties going forward," Shoshana Bernstein, a pro-vaccine activist, said. "While this measure carries considerable concern for the future, on the other hand, it does provide a desperately needed solution to the current crisis and relief to parents of immunocompromised children."
It's a complex issue, said Bernstein, who has been at the forefront of efforts to educate the Rockland Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish community about vaccine safety.
"There is no perfect way to solve this," she said. "I can't come out totally on one side of this. The hope and prayer is that this will solve the immediate issues without causing extremely worrisome religious liberty issues in the future."
In other words, there are pro-vaccine activists — as well as the obvious anti-vaccine voices — who believe that there are religious liberty questions linked to these disputes that need careful consideration. As the old saying goes: Bad cases often produce bad rulings.
So why do some — repeat "some" — traditional religious believers reject vaccines? Are their reasons different than the secular anti-vax leaders? What have courts said about similar conflicts between faith and secular law?
If you are looking for content linked to questions of this kind, you won't find it in the Washington Post story mentioned earlier.
I had my hopes up when I saw this Jewish Telegraphic Agency headline: "Why Orthodox communities are at the center of a measles outbreak." But this feature basically repeated a familiar mantra: Orthodox Jews simply distrust the modern world and embrace bad information.
This report did include one interesting and, I believe, valid piece of information. Private Jewish schools have every right — as religious voluntary associations — to require students to be vaccinated. Parents have religious liberty rights, but so do private school leaders. Here's that chunk of the JTA report:
Schools had also independently barred unvaccinated kids, leading in one case to legal action. After their child was kept out of Oholei Torah, a Brooklyn yeshiva, Sholom and Esther Laine sought an injunction last year that would force the school to accept their religious exemption to vaccines. Reached by phone on Thursday, Sholom Laine would not comment because the legal battle is ongoing.
Joseph Aron, a Brooklyn attorney focusing on religious and constitutional issues, said that according to New York state law, the school was well within its rights.
"There's no obligation for a school to accept a religious exemption," he said. "The school has total autonomy. The school doesn't have to bend backwards and accept me if I have a medical reason to not get vaccinated."
So here are my journalism questions: Can these stories be covered in a thorough and accurate way without discussion the religious traditions that are linked to some of these objections? Why not involve religion-beat professionals in this coverage?
