Huawei listed anew as threat to US national security
A roster of communications companies thought to pose "an unacceptable risk" to national security included Huawei Technologies; ZTE; Hytera Communications; Hangzhou Hikvision Digital Technology, and Dahua Technology.
San Francisco: US regulators on Friday listed Huawei among Chinese telecom gear firms deemed a threat to national security, signalling that a hoped for softening of relations is not in the cards.
"This list is a big step toward restoring trust in our communications networks," said Federal Communications Commission acting chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel.
"This list provides meaningful guidance that will ensure that as next-generation networks are built across the country, they do not repeat the mistakes of the past or use equipment or services that will pose a threat to US national security or the security and safety of Americans."
The five Chinese companies that provide communications equipment or services were on a roster compiled by the FCC and the Homeland Security Bureau as per US law.
Huawei chief and founder Ren Zhengfei last month called for a reset with the United States under President Joe Biden, after the firm was battered by sanctions imposed by Donald Trump's administration.
In his first appearance before journalists in a year, Ren Zhengfei said his "confidence in Huawei's ability to survive has grown" despite its travails across much of the western world where it is maligned as a potential security threat.
The comments came as the firm struggled under rules that have effectively banned US firms from selling it technology such as semiconductors and other critical components, citing national security concerns.
Insisting that Huawei remained strong and ready to buy from US companies, Ren called on the Biden White House for a "mutually beneficial" change of tack that could restore its access to the goods.
Continuing to do so, he warned, would hurt US suppliers.
Founded by Ren in 1987, Huawei largely flew under the global radar for decades as it became the world's largest maker of telecoms equipment and a top mobile phone producer.
That changed under former president Donald Trump, who targeted the firm as part of an intensifying China-US trade and technology standoff.
Trump from 2018 imposed escalating sanctions to cut off Huawei's access to components and bar it from the US market, while he also successfully pressured allies to shun the firm's gear in their telecoms systems.
Ren also has had to deal with the December 2018 arrest of his daughter, Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, on a US warrant during a Vancouver stopover.
Meng, 49, faces fraud and conspiracy charges in the United States over alleged Huawei violations of US sanctions against Iran, and separate charges of theft of trade secrets.

I honestly don't know what answer I was expecting, but the one I received gave me something to think about. I hope you'll think about it too.
The guy (I'm so sorry I didn't ask his name – I hate calling him "the guy") explained that people tend to rummage around the tomato bin as if they were rummaging through their laundry basket in search of a clean-ish pair of jeans: tossing stuff about willy-nilly and throwing whatever they don't want to the back of the pile. There's also some uncalled-for squeezing going on. All of this results in bruised, damaged tomatoes that cannot be sold to the general public who prefer unblemished produce.
I was startled when the guy told me that he ends up throwing away fifty pounds of tomatoes a day, due to all of this egregious manhandling. FIFTY POUNDS A DAY. Think of how many people this could feed. Or how much sauce this could make. What a waste.
And since he has to throw so much away, his inventory is decreased and he has to sell at a higher price in order to get the same income. He told me that last week he charged $1.99 per pound for the tomatoes, but now he's been forced to sell them for $2.49 per pound. That's a 25% increase for all of you out there who flunked calculus.
I don't know a whole lot about tomato processing (besides eating them), so I asked if the bruised ones were completely worthless or if they could be used for SOMETHING. Apparently, they are great for canning. Too bad I don't know how to can. Perhaps next summer I will learn.
And, as it turns out, it's not just the poor tomatoes that suffer at the grimy hands of overzealous produce customers: peaches get fingernails driven into them, and cucumbers get pressed until they "bleed". I've also noticed people who insist on shucking every piece of corn before they buy it, leaving the mutant ears to the latecomers. I've always understood that an ear of corn was like a fortune cookie with your takeout Chinese: you don't open it at the restaurant – you wait til you get home! Corn is supposed to be "luck of the draw"!
Anyway – the moral of the story: Be kind to the produce. There are other people here, you know.
$2.49 per pound. Because YOU couldn't control yourself.
this is actually a very interesting discussion, Wendy. I have no idea how to tell if produce is good for buying, so I probably mishandle a lot. AND, I always check the top of the corn I buy at the market. I don't shuck the whole ear, mind, but just the top. My mother taught me that much. and I never thought to squeeze cucumbers. Huh.
This may be the reason at several local produce stands I have seen the tomatoes placed out on a table where you can see each one without touching. Of course this will not stop all people from touching but it may help.
The peaches always kill me. Wait until you are home to figure out if they are ripe. Look for visual signs of tree ripening in the store: Well defined seams, lack of green at the base of the stem, etc. Then put them in a paper bag and wait.
It's such a tragedy to see all the finger nail pierced fruit.
That is why I keep my fingernails very short – to help spare the produce.
Actually, it's my lack of self-control. But it helps the peaches, so something positive comes out of it.

Filipino spikers back in SEA Games finals after 4 decades
by: Philippine News Agency | 09/12/2019 09/12/2019
MANILA — The Philippine men's volleyball team dethroned Thailand with a gutsy come-from-behind 17-25, 25-20, 23-25, 27-25, 17-15 victory Sunday night to advance to the gold medal match of the 30th Southeast Asian Games at the PhilSports Arena.
The Filipino spikers ranked 131 in the world with wanting experience in the international scene, ended the reign of Thailand, the four-time SEA Games defending champion ranked No. 39 before 6,700 roaring home fans.
Bryan Bagunas sparked the team's comeback from 1-2 deficit delivering the big hits, including a big block and a championship-clinching attack that frustrated the Thais.
With the win, the Filipino spikers assured themselves of a silver medal while ending a 28-year medal drought since a bronze medal finish in the 1991 games and return to the volleyball finals after 42 years.
The Philippines arranged a gold medal match with Indonesia, which swept Vietnam 25-19, 25-23, 25-15 in the other semis duel.
The gold medal battle is set on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
"This is too much, I can't explain the feeling right now. We're elated because we won and we're assured of a silver. But we need to work harder for the title," said coach Dante Alinsunurin.
With Marck Espejo checked by the Thai defense, Bagunas rose to the occasion, playing his heart out to the delight of the crowd, coming up with a SEA Games-best 27 points built on 23 attacks, two aces and as many as blocks. Espejo poured 20 points on top of 12 excellent receptions.
Thailand stood on the brink of advancing to the finals with a 14-13 lead in the deciding set but committed a service error. Super-sub Amorntep Konhan gave the lead back to the defending champions but the Filipinos refused to be intimidated and clinched the win in two hours and 18 minutes. PNA – northboundasia.com

Jean-Michel Othoniel Brings His Adventures in Glass to Perrotin
Josh Levine
Photography by Claire Dorn
Jean-Michel Othoniel in his studio.
As a young boy growing up in the coal-mining town of Saint- Etienne, France, the sculptor Jean-Michel Othoniel spent hours in the local museum. It didn't have much of an art collection back then, but it did have a bold young curator who brought little-known artists to live and work there. One of them was the sculptor Robert Morris.
"I saw his exhibit when I was five, and I can still remember where each work was placed in the room," says Othoniel, now 53 years old. "His work was a little austere, but it was a huge shock for me. This is what inspired me to enter the world of art, which for me is a world of freedom," says Othoniel.
In the half-century since then, both Othoniel and the museum have prospered. Saint-Etienne now has the second largest contemporary art collection in France, thanks in part to works left to it by resident artists like Morris (France's biggest collection is in Paris's Centre Pompidou.)
Meanwhile, Othoniel has won international renown, mostly for his joyful coils of large glass beads. In 2000, he covered a Paris metro station in a gaily beaded cupola. The metro station sculpture, known as the Kiosque des Noctambules, put Othoniel on the map. From then on, he was everywhere. In 2015, he strung 1,751 gold Murano glass baubles into three fountains for an abandoned grove in Le Notre's gardens at Versailles. In its own effervescent way, it's as rococo as anything the Sun King commissioned. Othoniel is a playful artist, and he doesn't get offended if you call his stuff pretty—which is refreshing and also true.
Black Tornado, 2016.
Sometimes, what goes around comes around in a nice way. To celebrate the 30th anniversary of its new building next May, the Saint- Etienne museum invited its native son back home to show what he could do. To mark the occasion, Othoniel is working hard to finish perhaps his most ambitious project yet: a massive wave fashioned from more than 12,000 glass bricks. It's not the first brick wave he's made. He produced one for an exhibit in the French seaside town of Sète last summer—one of two big Othoniel retrospectives in France. The Sète wave measured approximately 50 feet wide by 20 feet high; the new wave in Saint-Etienne will be one-third bigger.
"It's going to be a monster—all black and gray with colors that change in the light, like an Egyptian scarab," says Othoniel. "It's extraordinary that the museum invited me back. I get very emotional when I think about it."
We were sitting in Othoniel's Paris office in the Marais, just around the corner from the Picasso Museum. (He also has a gigantic studio near Bercy to house his monumental pieces.) Iridescent glass bricks were lying around everywhere, and yes, their oily sheen does indeed recall Egyptian scarabs. It took Othoniel seven years of looking before he found the right factory to make them in Firozabad, India, just down the road from the Taj Mahal. The whole town lives off glass-making, much of it for the beaded bracelets that Indian girls wear as a rite of passage (according to local custom, when the last bead has broken, the girl becomes a woman.) "They have a tremendous mastery of technique—one they've been using since the 19th century," says Othoniel.
The Knot of Shame, 2016.
From the beginning, he has been drawn to materials that change their form as he works them. Early on, he took a trip to Sicily's volcanic Aeolian Islands to seek out native sulfur, which he used in his early works. "Sulfur becomes liquid when heated and then becomes solid again. I have always liked this idea of metamorphosis."
That trip also introduced him to obsidian, which eventually led to his work in glass. But glass has metamorphosed Othoniel as much as he metamorphosed it. "I knew I could never master the technique of making glass objects myself, so I had to delegate it to others. That changed my life completely. I left the studio where I had shut myself in and started moving towards others, all thanks to the technique of glass-making. It's a journey that has taken me 25 years."
Today, Othoniel thinks of himself as an orchestrator as much as an artist. Fourteen full-time assistants buzzed around us as we talked in his office. He oversees production around the world (the glass beads come mainly from artisans in Murano, Italy and Basel, Switzerland). In March, he'll have his biggest gallery show to date with Emmanuel Perrotin—with whom he's worked for the last 10 years—that will also inaugurate the dealer's new Lower East Side space in New York.
Black Lotus, 2015.
The gallerist met Othoniel through Sophie Calle, another of his artists. "One day, on a beach, he showed me some preparatory drawings for his upcoming show at the Cartier Foundation," recalls Perrotin. "I was really impressed—this was truly a turning point in his career. I decided to help him on this project, and we've been collaborating since then. It's led to ambitious projects on a scale that very few other artists can commit to."
The art market's cold-hearted culling of the haves from the have-nots has made life very hard for artists just starting out, and Othoniel says he's lucky he came up in an earlier, more forgiving time. But the market's been very good to him, and he knows it. "Working with Perrotin has allowed me to do the kind of monumental things that were beyond my reach before— things that have absolutely no commercial possibilities. It's given me my freedom," says Othoniel.
Still, every artist sometimes likes go to his studio, shut the door and just draw something. Over the past few years, Othoniel has been painting again, not just to sketch ideas for his projects—he's always done that-— but as finished pieces.
"I said to myself, the atelier has gotten so big, with so many people. I need to come back to things that I do myself from start to finish—the gesture that I can master on my own."

Theyyams and Sthanas have a close relationship with certain trees and plants. It is believed that certain branches of the trees are the places of Gods and Godesses. Pala, Champakam, Al, Jackfruit tree are the place of Godesses. Kanhiram, Elangi, Arayal etc. are some of the common trees found near Temples and Sthanas. Few other devine trees are Coconut trees, Edala, Poovam, Nalli, Punna, Kaitha etc.
It is very rare to see a shrine without a sacred tree or a sacred grove. These are inevitable part of a shrine. People believe that these trees are the abode of many divine beings. There are special kind of poojas and rituals are conducting to safeguard such trees and groves. Its number may vary from shrine to shrine and many have a patches of such vegetation called 'Sacred Groves". Groves are the symbol of how nature related with divine God. The flora and fauna worship includes snakes, birds, fishes, and even wild animals. The famous theyyam cult Nageni Amma performs in front of the sacred grove to propitiate the God snake.
Sacred trees are patches of natural vegetation which are surviving near the shrines, groves temples. There are well protected by devotees believing that preserving such vegetation in rarely undisturbed states is necessary for expressing one's relation to the divine or to nature. It may be assumed that traditional Hindu society recognized certain individual species as objects of worship, based on accumulated ancient knowledge and their identified value for specific use. Instead of single species people sometimes used to worship certain patches of as sacred. As more and more natural vegetation is lost in the inhabited areas the remaining patches of forests in the form of sacred groves come to acquire a crucial role in buffering biodiversity. Thus sacred groves acquire importance from the point of view of ecology and conservation of biological diversity. Many of the sacred groves remain well protected by means of myths and taboos.
Natural vegetation consists of different types of forests. In spite of the generally uniform climate conditions, vegetation is diverse. In certain restricted regions with their own microclimate or special surrounding features, it varies from mangroves to rain forests. Mangrove vegetation is another conspicuous feature of this zone. Natural vegetation in the midland is restricted to the riverside and certain pockets in other regions. Sacred groves are abundant in Kannur district. The sacred forest of this region are ecologically better from wet evergreen and semi evergreen to deciduous. Usually they considers as a centre of biodiversity. Usually the sacred groves are of three types Daivakkavu, where male God is worshiped, Bhagavathikkavu, where a female God is worshipped and Nagam or Sarppakkavu, where snakes are worshipped. Many of them have small shrines attached to them. Complex rituals are performed in almost all of those groves which include periodical performance of "Theyyam".
Shrines are present in association with many sacred groves of Gods and Goddesses. But some of them have only a small holy place in the form of a stone, idol or platform or a single tree for worship. The term "Mundys" is also used for sacred forest of God worship. At present in many cases Kavus or Mundyas have turned to be simply shrines with few trees in place of the green vegetation. The famous shrine Thayakkavu in Thekkumbad, Kannur District is the only grove with mangrove vegetation. The wet tropical climate of the locality supports growth of evergreen species, resulting in the majority of the groves having evergreen vegetation. Single trees worshipped are all of the evergreen type. Religion played an important rock in preserving groves. Hindu way of worship incorporated many cults related to trees and nature. Temples were built around a sacred place as a centre of worship. The community was constantly guided to protect such groves. A number of legends grew up telling the terrible things that happened to those who violated their sanctity.

Amid a complex regulatory environment, stringency and traceability are essential to our business. Thanks to our customer portal and a perfectly synchronized native mobile application, we bring efficiency, speed, and reliability to the tracking and processing of hazardous waste.
Responsive web design, integration to the business ERP and the weighing system.
Connected in real time to the business ERP and weighing system.
Which will allow more trucks to be received every day.
In unloading, processing and tracking waste.

With its role of processing and recovering hazardous waste in Europe, Suez's Industrial Waste Specialties (IWS) unit turned to Liferay to create a web and mobile-based digital solution available to the various players in this waste management process.
can ensure the waste is traceable and that the staff and the environment are protected. This all goes hand in hand with a set of fairly complex regulations entailing a certain administrative overhead in managing the documents required for good waste traceability.
This is why Suez IWS decided in 2013 to create a B2B portal to make its customers' everyday lives easier. It provides a paperless solution for handling requests for waste services (recovery, processing or disposal) and sending delivery tracking information.
Since they first set up the portal, Suez IWS has been enhancing it with new features to provide new services to its customers and simplify the waste management process.
In 2015, in an effort to modernize the on-site waste deposit process and switching from a paper-based traceability system to a more efficient digital equivalent, the GAMA project was born.

Mozilla Foundation is again aiming to boost the privacy of Firefox users, and is beginning to test a new, improved kind of Private Browsing.
"All major browsers offer some form of experience that is labeled 'private' but this is typically intended to solve the 'local' privacy case, namely preventing others on a shared computer from seeing traces of your online activity," the company explained in a blog post.
The new Private Browsing option, introduced in the Developer Edition of Firefox for Windows, OS X and Linux, as well as Firefox Aurora for Android, will allow users to pick and choose which security and privacy controls to turn on an off.
Website elements that could be used to record user behavior across sites will also actively be blocked, but users can unblock them if they want / need to.
A new process has also been created to try and verify add-ons and filter out possibly malicious or unwanted ones.
If all goes well, users can look forward to taking advantage of these things in future stable Firefox releases.

Q: Refactor array of function values I have the following code that contains too much duplication, and I want to simplify it. I am not a back-end dev and have rudimentary php skills, so I will appreciate any help:
'gateways' => [
  'cod' => [
    'initializePayment' => function(OrderPage $virtualOrderPage): OrderPage {
      return $virtualOrderPage;
    },
    'completePayment' => function(OrderPage $virtualOrderPage, array $data): OrderPage {
      $virtualOrderPage->content()->update([
        'paymentComplete' => true,
        'payedDate' => date('c'),
      ]);

      return $virtualOrderPage;
    }

        'payedDate' => date('c'),

Offering an unparalleled travel experience, Singapore boasts a rich istory, a convergence of three distinct cultures — Chinese, Malay, and Indian — and forward-thinking and welcoming people in an ultramodern backdrop.
"Singapore is a great destination with access
from around the globe. The weather is always
warm, the Singaporean culture is interesting,
the food is amazing, English is widely used,
and the Singapore dollar is affordable," says
Dee Kelly, senior project director of cievents, a
global strategic event management agency for
the corporate market based in North Sydney,
Australia. "Singapore has changed a great deal
in recent years and it is now a sleek, world-
class city with a lot to do."
Flight Centre Travel Group, a global travel
company, experienced Singapore first-hand
when it held its annual Global Gathering —
that cievents helped plan — for the top 20 per-
cent of its team last summer. Coming from all
over the world, 3,400 attended the gathering,
"Fast & the Furious: Experience the Extraor-
dinary," inspired by the Formula 1 Grand Prix
race held in the Lion City every year.
Gardens by the Bay, part of the city-state's redevelopment and new downtown area at Marina Bay, was the site of the welcome-night festivities, with a canopy of artificial trees up to
164 feet high towering above. These " super-trees" are actually vertical gardens that generate solar power for Gardens by the Bay, which also houses the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome climate-controlled biomes.
Gardens by the Bay is connected by walkway to Marina Bay Sands, a spectacle in itself, with three hotel towers holding 2,561 luxury rooms and suites, crowned by Sands SkyPark, a tropical oasis of lush gardens, and the world's largest and highest outdoor infinity pool.
The Flight Centre group was based in Marina Bay Sands, and events were held in its Sands Expo and Convention Centre, the largest meeting venue in Singapore, with more than 1. 3 million square feet of space.
"Marina Bay Sands is enormous and fit our
whole group," says Kelly. "The rooms are
stunning, the bars and restaurants very slick,
the meeting space broad, and the pool area is
one-of-a-kind."
The Singapore Tourism Board has extend-
ed its In Singapore Incentives & Rewards
(INSPIRE) program to include groups from
Europe and North America in addition to
China and India. Created with Singapore Air-
lines and Changi Airport Group, the program
offers cocktail experiences and thematic busi-
ness tours as well as attractive group airfares.
In addition, groups receive complimentary airfare for every $37,000 spent.
Eligible corporate incentive groups can choose from 12 complimentary activities that include six cocktail experiences hosted in historic venues or rooftop bars helmed by rising Singapore mixologists, and six themed tours focused on the story of Singapore and its multiracial and multicultural society.

Fresno County cannabis physicians often make medical cannabis patients the primary focus of their practices. (The same is not true of Fresno cannabis attorneys.) That doesn't mean that such doctors don't have any specialized training or expertise; it does reflect the fact that the Medical Board of California does not license physicians by specialty. In other words, "cannabis physician" is descriptive of a doctor's chosen area of practice, rather than any specialized training involving medical cannabis.
Any California-licensed doctor can make a recommendation for medical cannabis. In legal terms, a Prop. 215 recommendation is NOT the same thing as a prescription for FDA-approved medications. The Fresno County cannabis physicians and clinics below provide medical exams and consultation services to the medical cannabis community.


Since planting its first vineyard in 1996, Malivoire has pioneered an innovative, eco-centric approach to wine growing on the Beamsville Bench in the Niagara Peninsula.
Aromas of plum, raspberries, sweet baking spice and underbrush. The palate is round, silky and easy drinking with flavours of ripe fruits, dark cherries, some chocolate and warm earthy notes. This vintage is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (48%), Merlot (25%), Cabernet franc (12%), Gamay (10%) and Pinot Noir (5%). All varieties were fermented individually in stainless steel. Following, 29% of the total was transferred to older oak barrels, mainly French with some American oak. After malo-lactic fermentation and seven months' ageing, the wine was blended and bottled.

Q: Why doesn't it print the string? it prints only FG and other characters are garbage
#include<stdio.h>

void putstr(char *s1[])
{
    while(*s1!='\0')
    {
      printf("%c",*s1);s1++;
    }
}

int main()
{
    char s1[10]="fedfgh";
    putstr(s1);
}

A: void putstr(char *s1[]) This is wrong. The actual argument to putstr is an array (which decays to a pointer) but the formal parameter says putstr accepts an array of pointers to char.
Use void putstr(char *s1) or void putstr(char s1[]).

With Raspberry Pi is the Linux OS running in the firmware (like an OS on a cell phone) or on top of a firmware (like on a regular PC)?
The only firmware the Pi has is a bootloader which is responsible for reading the boot sector from the SD card.
All software (including Linux and applications software) is then loaded and run from the SD card.
If you think of the SD card as a flash drive you could liken this to a cellphone. If you think of the SD card as a hard disk drive then you could liken this to a regular PC.

I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out on Saturday morning to help with the Annual Spring Field Clean-Up. There were at least 26 generous members who came to work on our field, and of those at least 3 didn't even have wings yet! What a Club.
So, hopefully we will enjoy lush green grass from Wednesday onward! Which is just in time because Flight training starts this week - as always please watch the forum for confirmation. Bruce, our new 2018 model CFI ( ) will let us know if we're on or off. Until we know how busy student nights will be, please can members not involved with instruction please leave the flight line free for Student use from 6pm? But by all means come and see what goes on, it really is a fun night.
And then weather permitting we have our 2nd official event of 2018 on Saturday 5th May from 1pm. We will have "Mayden Fest" where we encourage you to bring your new, unflown (or repaired) models for their first flights. All of us will have an opinion on whether you built it right, put the stickers on straight and whether it will crash or not, so why not let us all enjoy your anxiety!?
We will also have warbird racing, if there is enough interest. Reminder of the rules - it needs to be a 3S warbird. The rest, we will make up on the day! Hopefully this time I won't crash in to the other competitors at the end of the first lap!


In this article you'll learn how to create a simple video player for streaming Adobe HTTP Dynamic Streaming (HDS) video to Internet-connected televisions, set-top boxes, and other devices. Playing video content on devices requires the AIR for TV (A4TV) 2.5.1 or later runtime. This article describes how to configure Adobe Flash Professional to develop and compile a simple player for A4TV using the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF).
For the purposes of this article, you'll use the Flash Professional development environment. If you prefer to use Adobe Flash Builder, read my companion article, Creating a simple OSMF video player for AIR for TV using Flash Builder.
Download and install Flash Professional CS5.5.
Install Flash Professional in the desired location on your machine. Your install directory is known as $FlashRoot.
Launch Flash Professional and create a new AIR document.
If the Welcome screen is displayed, select AIR in the Create New section; if the Welcome screen is not displayed, choose File > New to access the New File dialog box.
Select AIR and click OK to close the dialog box.
Open the Publish Settings dialog by choosing File > Publish Settings.
In the Publish Settings dialog box, set the Player option to AIR 2.5.
Click the wrench icon next to the Player option to access the AIR Settings dialog box.
In the Profiles section, uncheck all of the check boxes except the one next to TV. Click OK.
Ensure the Script option is set to ActionScript 3.0.
Click the wrench next to the Script option to open the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog box.
In the Library path tab, click the Flash Player icon to open the Browse to SWC file dialog box.
Browse to the location of the OSMF.swc file you downloaded previously.
Select the SWF file and click Open. The OSMF.swc file is listed in the Library tab.
Click OK to close the Advanced ActionScript 3.0 Settings dialog box and then click OK again to close the Publish Settings dialog box.
Choose File > Save to save the Flash project as tvPlayer.fla.
At this point, you've finished setting up the development environment. In the next section, you'll learn how to create the OSMF video player.
With the tvPlayer.fla file open in Flash Professional, create a new layer named Actions and click its first frame.
Open the Actions panel (Window > Actions).
Note: Replace the $url_to_HDS_manifest.f4m above with the full path to your manifest file, e.g. http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/osmf/content/test/manifest-files/dynamic_Streaming.f4m.
After completing the steps in this article, you should have successfully created a simple, full-screen, skinless, Stage Video–enabled video player for AIR for TV devices using the OSMF MediaPlayerSprite class in Flash Professional CS5.5.
If you'd like to research further, experiment with this sample project by extending this code to add functionality. You can also skin the video player and deploy it on AIR for TV–enabled devices.

At CAPNCM, we offer many services to help you and your family achieve not only self-sufficiency, but also a healthier, happier, and brighter future. We have made it our mission to make self-sufficiency a reality for individuals and families, by empowering them to achieve the knowledge, skills, and motivations needed to build strong families and communities. We truly believe that strong families create strong communities.
The purpose of the Community Services Block Grant Program (CSBG) is to provide assistance to Community Action Agencies for the reduction of poverty, the revitalization of low-income communities, and the empowerment of low-income families and individuals in rural and urban areas to become fully self-sufficient.
Women's Health Services Program offers exams, testing, and education to anyone in need of them without income or age restrictions. All services are strictly confidential.
The main purpose of this program is to save energy. Saving energy lowers the cost of cooling in the summer and heating in the winter.
Safe, affordable and quality houses and apartment units have been developed in all nine counties in the Green Hills region through the Housing Development program. CAPNCM currently oversees over 100 housing units in the region. Staff teaches tenants proper care and maintenance of their homes to helps them reach their future housing goals.
Offers emergency assistance for those individuals and families who are struggling to pay their utility bills.
Housing Choice Voucher Program is assisting many elderly, handicapped, disabled, and families of low income to obtain housing they can afford. The Program utilizes existing rental housing that is in decent, safe, and in a sanitary condition and passes our inspection. Because of the increasing cost of new construction, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has encouraged the use of existing housing to meet the demand.
Take our client satisfaction survey.


A very popular ride, where 3-5 year olds can get their own Legoland driving licence. A small oval course awaits the children once they have had a brief "training" session. The queues at this attraction can be long.
Child and carer can enter the training area, where a photo is taken and the children are told to buckle their seatbelts and told about the single pedal they need to press to go forwards. And they are shown how to steer left and right. Then it's on to the course itself. Again parents can go in at this stage to make sure they are safely strapped in to their car.
Parents are then removed and the kids drive round the track, some with more success than others. It helps if your children have a basic understanding of steering - perhaps if they have been on similar manual pedal cars.
At the end the children are taken to wooden decked area and given their Legoland driving licence. The next group of drivers can then get in the cars. This separate area was introduced in 2011 in a bid to reduce the queue waiting time. (Thank you Martin for the reminder).

Q: Whats the main advantage and disadvantage of "do not keep activities" in android One query I would like to have if anyone could answer it like: Do not keep activities options to be checked during testing android mobile application from developers options.
I used it in my application and found that my application behaves inappropriately and crashed when I switched ON Do not keep activities in android.
My questions were few :
1: How much this option will affect mobile applications?
2: What exactly does this do?
It sounds like an app killer,I notice in the Developer Options there is a box that says Do not keep activities - destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it .
Does this create any positive and or negative functionality on my apps?
Does that mean if I open an app and as soon as I leave it, it actually closes that app and I wouldn't see it in the task manager to manually kill it? If so, isn't this a good thing to keep the RAM usage low?
What were the advantages and disadvantages of using it while keeping Do not keep activities ,Kindly share the experience on it.

A: Do not Keep Activities is purely a developer option that will help you to check if

*

*You have Saved the state of the activity, before it goes background.

Edit : This option does not emulate Low memory Situations. When the device experiences low memory, the system might ask the activity to Drop by calling Finish() or it may go ahead and kill the process completely, as the comment says.
It is still good to develop with this option enabled. You will have to properly code the onSaveInstanceState() and onRestoreInstanceState() methods. By doing this, even if the process gets killed, when the user navigates back to this activity, onCreate() will be called with the savedInstanceState that was saved in the onSaveInstanceState(Bundle) method.

A:
How much this option will affect mobile applications?

If they are well writen this option will not affect them.

What exactly does this do?

If you have this option turned on only variables kept in activity with method onSaveInstanceState
will be saved when you go to another activity or app goes in background. All other variables will be removed immediately.
When this option is off there is possibility that these variable will be kept

Does that mean if I open an app and as soon as I leave it, it actually closes that app and I wouldn't see it in the task manager to manually kill it?

No it means that all not kept variables will be removed. When you in example press home button.

Does this create any positive and or negative functionality on my apps?

No it only helps to develop application properly. It helps to predict unexpected situations.

A: ADVANTAGE :
Developer can check the abnormal behaviour of their application and fix the cases of low memory - framework kills the application
DISADVANTAGE :
If user has unknowingly enabled this option, then the device will work slow and every activities will be re-created across user navigation on his device. This will hinder user work
Very good answer is given in xda developer forum about usage of this option

A: As an addition to answers above is another, not visible from the first look disadvantage that you can test only activity destroying/recreation issues with this option, but not the whole process of application recreation due to memory lack or other system conditions, because all independent from activity memory stays.
Imagine that you have some singleton on which your classes are dependent. After system have killed app your singletons will be also cleared and restored with beginning state in case you haven't implemented its restoring by yourself. So, despite of your activity view state & fields would be restored in case onSaveInstanceState & onRestoreInstanceState was implemented correctly, that's not guarantee a correct app behavior after restoring, even on the particular screen. That should be considered
So to test such fully case you should stop application manually, but don't drop it from task manager. Easiest way - with stop red square button in android studio. And open app again.

A: Android OS has this property to wipe the activities running in background if the device is on low memory, prioritising only activity which is running on the top.
The option Do not keep activities in side the Developer options allows developers to replicate the same scenario easily.
Ideally a well developed Android application should handle onSaveInstanceState and onRestoreInstanceState saving and restoring the local variables of all activities.
More details are given here in official Android developer site.

A: "Do not keep activities" advantage is that it emulate system low memory situation when it start killing different parts of the app. Your app must maintain this situation. Disadvantage is that this option is kind of stricted and kill only activities when there is no way emulate this for services
