About B.E. Witkin
Know the legacy of California's preeminent legal scholar
Witkin Library
Witkin Award
Witkin's illustrious legal career
B.E. Witkin's career spanned almost seventy years and took place as California law was experiencing exponential growth in both size and complexity.
Bernie, as he was known to all, was born on May 22, 1904, in Holyoke, Massachusetts, to Russian immigrant parents. His family moved to San Francisco when he was five years old. Although raised in poverty, he grew up to challenge the legal system and create a new paradigm for legal and judicial education.
After graduating from the University of California at Berkeley as both an undergraduate and law student, Bernie began his illustrious career as California's preeminent legal scholar. Using his carefully crafted and detailed bar review notes, he wrote the first Summary of California Law to help lawyers and law students to better understand the law. Treatises on Civil Procedure, Evidence, and Criminal Law followed, which together became known as the "Witkin Library."
Besides the Witkin Library, his works include the original California Rules on Appeal, the California Style Manual, and the Manual on Appellate Court Opinions. He was instrumental in creating the Foundation for Judicial Education to provide continuing education to California judges.
Whether as the author of the Witkin Library, the California Reporter of Decisions, a teacher to aspiring members of the Bar, and an advocate for legal reform, Bernie never tired of making California law understandable to all.
Bernie lived in Berkeley, California for most of his life. He passed away on December 23, 1995.

I'm going to start posting a series of short, more advanced Reaper tutorials geared towards game audio sound design workflows. The first involves automatically creating a group of new tracks with a surrounding folder track. This is great for quickly making groups of tracks and keeping everything neatly organized.
If you don't want to type in the commands manually, I've exported the two actions and you can download and import them. The link is at the bottom of the post.
Once you've added the Cycle Actions, they will show up in the Action List where you can assign a hotkey to them.
You may have also noticed I have set my folder tracks to auto-color and auto-assign a track icon. You can do that from the menu in Extensions->Auto Color/Icon.
Thanks! Worked perfectly and did exactly what I wanted. Much appreciated!
"Select Children of Selected folder track(s)" ?
Hi Alex, looking back now, I think I included that in there so that if you are making folders around tracks that are already folderized, and haven't discretely selected the tracks inside those folders, it will select them for you.
thanks, that's a very helpful article!
btw. what's that nice Theme you're using?


On 28 July 2018, Ambassador Bansarn Bunnag presided over the ceremony and event to celebrate His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun's 66th birthday Anniversary at the Royal Thai Embassy. All Thai diplomats, heads of the Government Offices in Japan and their spouses, as well as the Thai citizens living in Japan, in total around 250 persons, participated in the ceremony and took this opportunity to sing a royal composed song to pay respect to the King. The Buddhist merit making ceremony was also organized followed by volunteer cleaning activities at the Embassy and surrounding public areas in which all the Thai citizens were actively participated.

O Preço de um Homem é uma telenovela brasileira produzida e exibida pela extinta Rede Tupi, de 15 de novembro de 1971 a 24 de junho de 1972 em 192 capítulos às 20 horas.

Foi escrita por Ody Fraga se baseando no romance Senhora, de José de Alencar, com direção de Henrique Martins.

Esta é a terceira adaptação brasileira da obra, visto que a TV Paulista apresentou uma versão em 1953, e a própria Rede Tupi em 1962.

Em 2005, Marcílio Moraes e Rosane Lima somaram à espinha dorsal de Senhora e dois outros romances de José de Alencar - Lucíola e Diva, para escrever a telenovela Essas Mulheres, produzida pela RecordTV. Christine Fernandes e Gabriel Braga Nunes viveram Aurélia Carmago e Fernando Seixas nessa versão.

Q: Inserir dados na tabela com jsf,hibernate jpa Estou com problemas, no projeto que estou desenvolvendo em jsf usando jpa e hibernate.Não estou conseguindo cadastrar os dado do cliente no meu banco de dados como posso relaizar o cadastro ?
Codigo

EntityManager manager = factory.createEntityManager();
ClienteWeb cli= new ClienteWeb();
public ClienteWeb cadastrarCliente(){
           manager.getTransaction().begin();

return cli;
    }

Metodo com os objetos retornados do form do jsf.

A: Como você não postou o código da sua view, tomei a liberdade de criar alguns trechos de código:

cadastraCliente.xhtml
<form>
    <p:inputText value="#{clienteMB.cliente.nome}" />
    <p:inputText value="#{clienteMB.cliente.idade}" />
    <p:inputText value="#{clienteMB.cliente.endereco}" />
    <p:commandButton actionListener="#{clienteMB.cadastraCliente}" />
</form>

ClienteMB
@ManagedBean
public class ClienteMB {

    private Cliente cliente;
    private ClienteDAO dao;

    public ClienteMB() {
        this.cliente = new Cliente();
        this.dao = new ClienteDAO();
    }

    public void cadastraCliente() {
        dao.cadastraCliente(this.cliente);
    }

    public Cliente getCliente() {
        return this.cliente;
    }

    public void setCliente(Cliente cliente) {
        this.cliente = cliente;
    }
}

ClienteDAO
public class ClienteDAO() {

    EntityManagerFactory factory;
    EntityManager manager;

    public ClienteDAO() {
        this.factory = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("WebApplication3PU");
        this.manager = factory.createEntityManager();
    }

    public void cadastraCliente(Cliente cliente) {
        manager.getTransaction().begin();
        manager.persist(cli);
        manager.getTransaction().commit();
        manager.close();
    }
}

Explicação
Para que você consiga transmitir os dados da página para o banco, é preciso primeiro passar os dados da view (xhtml) para o controller (ManagedBean).
Isso é feito pelo o atributo cliente da classe ClienteMB.
O JSF consegue popular esse atributo com os valores preenchidos quando informamos no inputText a propriedade value="#{clienteMB.cliente.nome}", por exemplo. Dessa forma o valor digitado nesse campo será "setado" na propriedade nome do cliente de ClienteMB.
Depois disso é preciso preparar a classe ClienteDAO para que ela receba um Cliente para persistir (salvar no banco).
Isso é feito através do método public void cadastraCliente(Cliente cliente). Perceba que esse método recebe um parâmetro chamado cliente do tipo Cliente.
No ClienteMBo atributo cliente é populado pelos valores dos inputs. Lá chamamos o método o método de cadastrado passando, justamente, o atributo cliente como parâmetro, ficando assim: cadastraCliente(cliente).
Por fim, o cadastro é realizado quando o usuário clica no botão <p:commandButton>, que chama o método cadastraCliente() de ClienteMB.
Dessa forma é possível persistir no banco os dados oriundos da página.

Pontos de Atenção

*

*É imprescindível que o atributo cliente de ClienteMB tenha seus métodos  getter e setter. É através desses métodos que o JSF comunica a view com o controller

*Existem diversas formas de se passar valores da view para o controller. Esse foi um exemplo

*O DAO está sem nenhuma tratativa de exceção. Considere fortemente, usar try catch finally ou try-with-resources, caso esteja usando o Java 7 ou superior.

US Develops Long-range Strike Bombers Solely for Bombing Beijing
Posted: February 29, 2016 | Author: chankaiyee2 | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: bomb Beijing, China, long-range strike bomber, Northrop Grumman, US, US new bomber | 2 Comments
Projected image of US new long-range strike bomber. Credit Northrop Grumman
US media National Interest was worried that there is a campaign to put an end of Pentagon's purchase of new strike bomber to be used to bombard Beijing in its article "Endangered: The Campaign to Kill America's New Strike Bomber" by James Hasik a senior fellow at the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security.
The article says, "the kind of war you want to fight determines the kind of airplane you want to buy." There is no need for long-range stealth bomber if the enemy is Russia, North Korea or Iran, nor even China if the US only wants "a distant blockade and the steady destruction of the Chinese fleet with cruise missiles and torpedoes, new penetrating bombers may not be worth the investment."
However "if the strategy does call for bombing Beijing in a John Warden way, then the attackers had better come with massive payloads of gravity bombs, on long-range aircraft that are nearly invisible."
Why shall the US incur such huge costs to have bombers to bombard Beijing in the first place? China has never had the intention to attack the US. Now I see China's wisdom in developing an air force with integrated space and air capabilities for both attack and defense. Only when China has aerospace bombers that can attack US homeland will the US think twice before attacking China. That will be China's conventional deterrence for its active defense against US aggression.
Comments by Chan Kai Yee on National Interest's article.
The following is the full text of National Interest's article:
Endangered: The Campaign to Kill America's New Strike Bomber
James Hasik February 22, 2016
Last week, the U.S. Government Accountability Office turned away another contract protest, ruling that the U.S. Air Force had acted reasonably in awarding development of its future Long-Range Strike Bomber (LRS-B) to Northrop Grumman. We yet await Boeing's decision on whether to sue in the Court of Federal Claims, as teammate Lockheed briefly did after losing the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program to Oshkosh. Regardless, the political-industrial campaign to kill the LRS-B has already begun. Yesterday, retired General Mark Loh warned at the Mitchell Institute that "there are people out there that are going to try to kill it; they are all over this town." In Forbes two days prior, Loren Thompson had already begun his awaited assault, assailing Northrop as incapable of executing the program. So what might Boeing and Lockheed prefer at this point? Whatever new aircraft fly for the USAF, Boeing will be building tankers to refuel them. Lockheed, though, will have a strong incentive to convince the Defense Department to forgo the big bomber, and instead build as many stealth fighters and cruise missiles as money allows.
As with most things for the Pentagon, the first argument is indeed economic. The F-35A might be very expensive to buy and operate in comparison to even the latest F-16E, but the USAF could probably buy and operate about five of the JSFs for the ongoing cost of a single LRS-B. In two articles for War On The Rocks last year, T.X. Hammes of the Institute for National Strategic Studies compared the bombers to battleships, calling them too big to lose, and arguing that the LRS-B should be bypassed for "a mix of manned aircraft, cruise missiles, long-range rockets, and cheap drones." Mix is an important point. For the United States—though not China—long-range rockets are treaty-limited by the Intermediate Nuclear Forces agreement with Russia (to which the counter-party may or may not be adhering). Nuclear or not, no ground-launched missile can have a maximum range between 500 and 5,000 kilometers. Except for coastal artillery applications in the Ryukyu Islands and points nearby, that mostly sends us next to sea- and air-launched cruise missiles.
If those weapons come from the Navy, a frigate to fire them could actually cost more than the bomber, and a submarine yet more. A ship can salvo more missiles than a bomber, but with current technology cannot reload at sea. Another alternative, then, is air-launched cruise missiles. Today, against a first-rate opponent like Russia or China, the B-52Hs and B-1Bs of the 8th Air Force would be effectively an aerial standoff missile force. But the idea that old aircraft would fare just fine with new missiles has been around since the cancellation of the XB-70 Valkyrie in 1961 aircraft can fly with impunity, attacking a wide range of targets below with free-fall weapons.
With these, the Navy's not-so-stealthy F-18s will similarly become far more effective. Putting money into the payload before the platforms works well, but only up to a point. The problem is that hanging cruise missiles on fighters does so only about two missiles per sortie, for over a million dollars per shot. Against an enemy's navy and air force, that's reasonably economical; against his army, it's not.
That gets to the second argument, which concerns geography and strategy. Just who's that enemy, and what's the plan for fighting him? The LRS-B will not be an airplane built for pre-empting North Korea or Iran's nuclear weapons programs; the United States government has already made clear that it's not starting wars over those. The LRS-B will not be an airplane built for bombing Russian tanks on their way into Poland and the Baltics; that's a role for fighter and attack aircraft. No, the LRS-B will be an airplane for bombing China, whether by penetrating its Maginot Line of air defenses from the east, or flying over the Himalayas for an end-run from the southwest. If the strategy for that war calls instead for a distant blockade and the steady destruction of the Chinese fleet with cruise missiles and torpedoes, new penetrating bombers may not be worth the investment. But if the strategy does call for bombing Beijing in a John Warden way, then the attackers had better come with massive payloads of gravity bombs, on long-range aircraft that are nearly invisible. We could build a complicated model of weapon costs and kill probabilities and sortie rates—and there are plenty out there—but the broad issue is this: the kind of war you want to fight determines the kind of airplane you want to buy.

SCMP says in its report "Jail for Chinese pastor and wife who opposed Beijing's order to remove crosses from churches" based on Associated Press report from Beijing, "A Chinese husband and wife who led a Christian congregation that opposed a government campaign to remove crosses atop churches have been given long prison sentences for illegal activities, including corruption and disturbing social order, state media said."
"For the past two years, Zhejiang's Christians, particularly in the coastal city of Wenzhou, home to a large Christian population, have been locked in a bitter dispute with local authorities who have removed hundreds of crosses from churches in the province, saying they violate building codes, or demolished churches altogether."

In its report "China's military is prepared 'to defend sovereignty' in South China Sea: military chief" today, SCMP says that amid rising tensions in the South China Sea Chinese commander of the area said that China was capable of fighting to defend its sovereignty there.
SCMP says, "In his first public remarks as commanding officer of the newly-established Southern Theatre Command of the People's Liberation Army, General Wang Jiaocheng said the army would be highly vigilant towards any possible security threat in the disputed waters, People's Daily reported yesterday."
It quotes Wang as saying, "The military will be capable of dealing with any security threat. No country will be allowed to use any excuse or action to threaten China's sovereignty and safety."

Note: China says it has sovereignty to most part of the South China Sea while the US regards the part as international waters and has carried out naval freedom-of-navigation operations in the waters that China regards as its territorial waters. China has protested and warned the US of the serious consequence of its freedom-of-navigation operations. Does General Wang means that he will fight to disallow others "to use any excuse or action to threaten China's sovereignty and safety"?

China Internet watchdog bans former tycoon's microblog
Posted: February 28, 2016 | Author: chankaiyee2 | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: CCTV, China, Internet censorship, Jiang Jun, People's daily, Ren Zhiqiang, Tech, Xi Jinping, Xinhua News Agency | Comments Off on China Internet watchdog bans former tycoon's microblog
China's cyberspace watchdog said on Sunday it had ordered the closure of a microblog account of a former property tycoon, known for his bold remarks on China's economic policy, for "spreading illegal information".
Microblog portals such as Weibo.com and t.qq.com, among China's most popular, were ordered to ban the account of Ren Zhiqiang, a retired top executive from a state-controlled property developer who has more than 30 million online followers.
"The cyberspace is not outside the laws, nobody is allowed to spread illegal information using the Internet," Jiang Jun, spokesman for the Office of the Central Leading Group for Cyberspace Affairs, was quoted as saying in a statement.
The statement, posted on the website of Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) (www.cac.gov.cn), did not say what specific comments had led to the ban of Ren's account.
His account could not be found in a search on Sunday at Weibo.com, owned by Sina Corp, or t.qq.com, owned by Tencent Holdings.
Reuters was not able to reach Ren for comment.
According to a commentary posted on Feb. 22 on china.qianlong.com, a website run by the Beijing municipal government, Ren, a communist party member, was accused of making remarks against the state media and the party.
"Who gave Ren the courage to be anti-party?" was the title of the commentary, which also called him "cannon Ren who's only a proxy for the capitals."
The Chinese government routinely censors the Internet, blocking many sites it deems could challenge the rule of the Communist Party or threaten stability, including global sites such as Facebook and Google's main search engine and Gmail service.
Authorities have launched numerous operations to combat illegal online behavior, from pornography to gambling.
Earlier this month, Chinese President Xi Jinping toured the country's top three state new organizations – Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and China Central Television – and asked them to toe the party lines.

China commissions homegrown missile frigate amid naval buildup
Posted: February 28, 2016 | Author: chankaiyee2 | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: China, missile frigate, naval buildup | 2 Comments
China commissioned a domestically produced missile frigate this week, the official People's Liberation Army Daily reported on Thursday, as Beijing works to expand and modernize its navy.
The announcement came only two days after a senior U.S. military official said China was "clearly militarizing" the South China Sea. The United States is worried by China's military buildup to assert dominance in the region.
The People's Liberation Daily said the frigate, with a displacement of more than 4,000 tonnes, has powerful long-range surveillance and anti-aircraft capabilities.
Ships of that kind can be used alone or along with other naval forces to attack enemy surface ships, the report said.
The frigate, called the Xiangtan, is one of 22 vessels of its class in service, according to state media reports.
Beijing has invested billions developing its homegrown weapons industry to support its growing maritime ambitions in the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean.
China claims most of the South China Sea, through which more than $5 trillion in global trade passes every year. Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines and Taiwan have rival claims.
Beijing has also cast an eye towards foreign markets for its comparatively low-cost technology. Its total military budget in 2015 was 886.9 billion yuan ($141.45 billion), up 10 percent from a year earlier.

ASEAN Scared by China's Construction, Militarization of Artificial Islands
Posted: February 28, 2016 | Author: chankaiyee2 | Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: ASEAN, China, militarization of island, South China Sea | 3 Comments

Reuters/CSIS Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative/Digital Globe/Handout via Reuters/Files
Reuters says in its report "ASEAN says seriously concerned about rising South China Sea tensions", "Southeast Asian nations expressed serious concern on Saturday about growing international tension over disputed waters in the South China Sea."
This blogger would rather describe the fear as some stupid people playing with a sleeping lion by cutting some hair from it. When the lion wakes up and roars, they are frightened out of their wits.
Why are they regarded as being out of their wits? They asked a remote tiger for help, but must be clear that the remote tiger, though strong, cannot help them. Now, there is tension between the lion and tiger that may lead to a fierce fight that will give rise to serious harm to them.
China, the lion, is awake. No one can put it to sound sleep again. That must be some ASEAN members' real concerns that have nothing to do with the construction and militarization of the artificial islands in the South China Sea.
Reuters quotes Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh as saying to reporters after meeting his ASEAN colleagues, "We call for non-militarisation in the South China Sea," "We have serious concerns about that when asked about China's increasing military activity in the region."
If Vietnamese leaders had been clever, they must have had the foresight that they would have been in trouble when China, the lion, had waked up. It was Vietnam who has been conducting land reclamation and militarizing on South China Sea islands and reefs for decades.
That is why Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi justifies China's land reclamation and deployment of defense weapons in his speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in the United States on February 25 by saying:
On the South China Sea, it's true that we have had some facilities, but I would like to inform you that for these facilities very long ago other countries did that. China was later by 20 years or even 30 years than those countries. China's reclamation after meeting our own needs, and we have stopped the reclamation already. So I would like to inform you that other countries, today they are continuing the reclamation and have not stopped that. The CSIS has very strong intelligence capability, including satellite images. And I would advise you to look into that.
The third point, it's true that China – that we have some defense facilities on islands and reefs. But what you should see is what the islands surrounding China and reefs surrounding China have more military facilities on them. There are various kinds of artilleries, guns, amphibious tanks, airstrips, runways, planes. There are missiles, war and gun helicopters. And for China's stationed islands and reefs towards all these, and so many military facilities surrounding us, we certainly need considerable, or certain defense facilities. This is the right of self-defense bestowed by the international law.
If Vietnamese leaders have learnt their country's history, they should know that in the past, Vietnam was sometimes a part of China and sometimes not. If China wants to take Vietnam back, it will be very hard for Vietnam to resist as in Chinese history China did succeed in annexing it several times.
Vietnam should think that it is lucky that China has no intention to recover it as a part of China now because China has learnt lessons from the failure of colonialism and the success of overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia when China was very weak to provide overseas Chinese any support but instead needed their support when it was invaded by Japan.
There are a few hundred millions of Chinese prospering in other countries' territories. They prosper by helping those countries develop their economy. Why shall China shed its people's blood to take land from or meddle with those countries.
China still has 70 million people to lift from poverty and finds that very difficult. Why shall China take over the large number of poor people in Vietnam to aggravate its burden in lifting people from poverty?
The following is the full text of Reuters' report:
ASEAN says seriously concerned about rising South China Sea tensions
VIENTIANE | By Simon Webb Sat Feb 27, 2016 6:26am EST
Southeast Asian nations expressed serious concern on Saturday about growing international tension over disputed waters in the South China Sea.
China claims most of the sea but Southeast Asian countries Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei and Vietnam have rival claims. Friction has increased over China's recent deployment of missiles and fighter jets to the disputed Paracel island chain.
"Ministers remained seriously concerned over recent and ongoing developments," the 10-members Association of Southeast Asian Countries (ASEAN) said in a statement after a regular meeting of the group's foreign ministers in Laos.
Land reclamation and escalating activity has increased tensions and could undermine peace, security and stability in the region, ASEAN said in the statement.
The United States has criticized China's building of artificial islands and facilities in the sea and has sailed warships close to disputed territory to assert the right to freedom of navigation.
On Friday, the United States urged China's President Xi Jinping to prevent the militarisation of the region.
Vietnam, which accused China of violating its sovereignty with the missile deployment, echoed the U.S. call on Saturday.
"We call for non-militarisation in the South China Sea," Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh told reporters after meeting his ASEAN colleagues.
"We have serious concerns about that," he said, when asked about China's increasing military activity in the region.
The group agreed to seek a meeting between China and ASEAN's foreign ministers to discuss the South China Sea and other issues, Cambodian Minister Hor Namhong said.
China's maritime claims are ASEAN's most contentious issue, as its members struggle to balance mutual support with their growing economic relations with Beijing. China is the biggest trade partner for many ASEAN nations.
Neighbours Vietnam and China compete for influence over landlocked Laos, which has no maritime claims but finds itself in the difficult position of dealing with neighbours at odds over the South China Sea. Laos is tasked with finding common ground on the issue as the ASEAN chair in 2016.
"The South China Sea issue is a headache that Laos would really rather not have to deal with," said one Western diplomat in Vientiane.
Thongloun Sisoulith, Laos Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, played down the challenge.
"We are a close friend of Vietnam and China, we try to solve the problems in a friendly way," he told Reuters on Saturday. "We are in the middle, but it's not a problem."
Barack Obama is set to become the first U.S. president to visit the country in September to attend an annual summit hosted by the ASEAN chair.

Q: Android Wallpaper bug I have a wallpaper application, written in libgdx.
I use SpriteBatch and ShapeRenderer to render my stuff.
All goes well, but sometimes some artifacts happen like this:

*

*grey background has its own ShapeRenderer

*stars over background have their own ShapeRenderer

*all planets (there may be more than 1) have a shared SpriteBatch and ShapeRenderer
What might be wrong?
There is code of ApplicationListener which in charge on drawing right image
private lateinit var stars: Stars
  private lateinit var bg: GameBackground
  private lateinit var presentation: Presentation

  private lateinit var sr: ShapeRenderer
  private lateinit var sb: SpriteBatch

  override fun render() {
    val time = System.currentTimeMillis()
    val delta = time - prev
    if (delta > FRAME_DURATION) {
      frame(delta)
      draw()
      prev = time
    }
  }

  override fun create() {
    sr = ShapeRenderer().apply { setAutoShapeType(true) }
    sb = SpriteBatch()
    bg = GameBackground(sr)
    stars = Stars(sr)
    presentation = Presentation(sr, sb)
  }

  private fun frame(timeElapsed: Long) {
    bg.frame(timeElapsed)
    stars.frame(timeElapsed)
    presentation.frame(timeElapsed)
  }

  private fun draw() {
    bg.draw()
    stars.draw()
    presentation.draw()
  }

  override fun pause() {
  }

  override fun resume() {
  }

  override fun dispose() {
    sr.dispose()
    sb.dispose()
  }

And there is code of image left:
private lateinit var stars: Stars
  private lateinit var bg: GameBackground
  private lateinit var presentation: Presentation
  private var prevTime: Long = System.currentTimeMillis()

  private lateinit var sr: ShapeRenderer
  private lateinit var sb: SpriteBatch

  override fun create() {
    super.create()
    sr = ShapeRenderer().apply { setAutoShapeType(true) }
    sb = SpriteBatch()

    bg = GameBackground(sr)
    stars = Stars(sr)
    presentation = Presentation(sr, sb)
  }

  override fun render() {
    val now = System.currentTimeMillis()
    val elapsedTime = now - prevTime
    if (elapsedTime > FRAME_DURATION) {
      prevTime = now
      bg.frame(FRAME_DURATION)
      stars.frame(FRAME_DURATION)
      presentation.frame(FRAME_DURATION)
    }

    bg.draw()
    stars.draw()
    presentation.draw()
  }

  override fun dispose() {
    sr.dispose()
    sb.dispose()
  }

  companion object {
    private const val FRAMES_PER_SECOND = 60
    private const val FRAME_DURATION = DateUtils.SECOND_IN_MILLIS / FRAMES_PER_SECOND
  }

Right image is wrong.
There is my Presentation class
class Presentation constructor(private val sr: ShapeRenderer, private val sb: SpriteBatch) : DrawingObject {

  private var planetPresentations = mutableListOf<PlanetPresentation>()

  override fun draw() {
    planetPresentations
      .forEach {
        sb.begin()
        it.drawGlowing(sb)
        sb.end()
        sr.begin(ShapeRenderer.ShapeType.Filled)
        it.drawAtmosphere(sr)
        sr.end()
        sb.begin()
        it.drawBody(sb)
        it.drawRing(sb)
        sb.end()
      }
  }

  override fun frame(frameDuration: Long) {
    planetPresentations
      .forEach { it.frame(frameDuration) }
  }
}

And PlanetPresentation
class PlanetPresentation constructor(val model: PlanetModel) {

  private val texturer = PlanetV(model)
  private val bounds = CoreUtils.getDeviceBounds()
  private val minScreenSize = Math.min(bounds.x, bounds.y).toFloat() / 2
  private var scale = 1f
  private val diameter
    get() = minScreenSize * model.diameter * scale
  private val body = texturer.getPlanetTexture(1024f)
  private val glow = Texture("glow.png")
  private val ring = texturer.getRingTexture(1024f)

  val x: Float
    get() = model.x * bounds.x
  val y: Float
    get() = model.y * bounds.y

  private var live = 0L

  fun drawAtmosphere(sr: ShapeRenderer) {
    val x = model.x * bounds.x
    val y = model.y * bounds.y
    sr.color = Color(1f, 1f, 1f, 0.4f)
    sr.circle(x, y, diameter / 2 * 1.05f)
  }

  fun drawBody(sb: SpriteBatch) {
    val x = model.x * bounds.x
    val y = model.y * bounds.y
    sb.draw(TextureRegion(body), x - diameter / 2, y - diameter / 2, diameter / 2, diameter / 2, diameter, diameter, 1f, 1f, model.rotation)
  }

  fun drawRing(sb: SpriteBatch) {
    val x = model.x * bounds.x
    val y = model.y * bounds.y
    ring?.let {
      sb.draw(TextureRegion(it), x - diameter, y - diameter / 2 / 2, diameter, diameter / 2 / 2, diameter * 2, diameter / 2, 1f, 1f, model.rotation)
    }
  }

  fun drawGlowing(sb: SpriteBatch) {
    val x = model.x * bounds.x
    val y = model.y * bounds.y
    val increasing = live / GLOW_PULSE_DURATION % 2 == 0L
    val pulseDuration = live % GLOW_PULSE_DURATION
    val pulseProgress = pulseDuration.toFloat() / GLOW_PULSE_DURATION
    val totalPulseProgress = if (increasing) pulseProgress else 1 - pulseProgress
    val curGlowSize = diameter * 1.2f + diameter * totalPulseProgress / 6f
    sb.draw(TextureRegion(glow), x - curGlowSize / 2, y - curGlowSize / 2,  curGlowSize, curGlowSize)
  }

  fun frame(frameDuration: Long) {
    live += frameDuration
  }

  companion object {
    private const val GLOW_PULSE_DURATION = 3000L
  }
}

There is another screenshot to clarify what actualy happend:

As you can see, textures are confused. Top white circle shape is drawn by ShapeRenderer, other 3 images are textures.

Why is Freud's psychoanalytic theory important?
Why is psychoanalytic theory important?
Is Freud's theory important to us today?
Why is psychoanalysis important today?
What have you learned about Freud's psychoanalytic theory?
How did Freud impact society?
What are the benefits of psychoanalysis?
What is the main goal of psychoanalysis?
What do you think about Freud's theory?
Psychoanalysis suggests that people can experience catharsis and gain insight into their current state of mind by bringing the content of the unconscious into conscious awareness. Through this process, a person can find relief from psychological distress.
Freud revolutionized the understanding and treatment of mental disorders. He created the psychoanalytic theory of personality. … Modern neuroscience confirms Freud's insight that most of mental life takes place outside of awareness.
Psychoanalysis is still relevant because: Psychoanalytic theories and therapies strive to understand the unique phenomenology of a person. In doing so, the meaning and values that give significance to our lives are honored and supported.
Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory of personality argues that human behavior is the result of the interactions among three component parts of the mind: the id, ego, and superego.
Freud's most obvious impact was to change the way society thought about and dealt with mental illness. Before psychoanalysis, which Freud invented, mental illness was almost universally considered 'organic'; that is, it was thought to come from some kind of deterioration or disease of the brain.
C\'EST IMPORTANT: Pourquoi entamer une psychothérapie?
Benefits of Psychoanalytic Therapy
The therapist creates an empathetic and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which the client feels comfortable disclosing feelings or acts that have caused stress and difficulties in his or her life. Sharing these burdens in the sense of a therapeutic partnership may also be helpful.
The main goal of psychoanalytic therapy is to bring unconscious material into consciousness and enhance the functioning of the ego, helping the individual become less controlled by biological drives or demands of the superego.
Freud believed that dreams were essentially a form of wish-fulfillment. By taking unconscious thoughts, feelings, and desires and transforming them into less threatening forms, people are able to reduce the ego's anxiety. He often utilized the analysis of dreams as a starting point in his free association technique.

Q: MySQL Function and CodeIgniter Active Record CodeIgniter Active Record is easy, well documented and powerful. But when I try to insert MySQL built in functions CONCAT, NOW, GROUP_CONCAT, DATEDIFF, TRIM etc or my custom functions it is giving errors. The following code works fine...
$result = $this->db->select('p.first_name, p.last_name, p.mobile_number, p.email_address')->from('profile p')->get()->result();

But When I want to contact first_name and last_name and use MySQL CONCAT function like this...
$result = $this->db->select('CONCAT(p.first_name, " ", p.last_name) fullname, p.mobile_number, p.email_address')->from('profile p')->get()->result();

It is showing database errors
A Database Error Occurred

Error Number: 1064

You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '", `p`.`last_name)` fullname, `p`.`mobile_number`, `p`.`email_address` FROM (`pr' at line 1

SELECT CONCAT(p.first_name, `"` ", `p`.`last_name)` fullname, `p`.`mobile_number`, `p`.`email_address` FROM (`profile` p)

Filename: D:\xampp\htdocs\example\system\database\DB_driver.php

Line Number: 330

Is there a any way to insert MySQL Functions inside CodeIgniter Active Record? Hope I am clear. Thanks in advance.

A: Since I don't know your exact error:
From user_guide:

$this->db->select() accepts an optional second parameter. If you set it to FALSE, CodeIgniter will not try to protect your field or table names with backticks. This is useful if you need a compound select statement.

$result = $this->db->select('CONCAT(p.first_name, " ", p.last_name) fullname, p.mobile_number, p.email_address', FALSE)->from('profile p')->get()->result();

A: Place you "select " in array
$this->db->select(array('CONCAT(p.first_name, " ", p.last_name) fullname, p.mobile_number, p.email_address'))
by.

A: For the case of update using active records you can use
    $this->db->set("date_read", "NOW()", FALSE);
Will output something like this
`SET `date_read` = NOW(),

A: *

*FIXED THE ISSUE

adding the field names in active record array can fix this problem. inside array you can use any mysql functions. the fix of above.
MySQL Table :

We would love it if you would share your experience working with us at STAGE COACH TAMPA BAY, LLC. It is our pleasure to work with you and we appreciate your comments.
Stage Coach Tampa Bay, L.L.C.
Vicki was referred to us by our realtor. I can honestly say I was astonished at all she was able to accomplish and simplify a process that resulted in a contract after the first showing! She not only decorates, but she "coaches" her clients through the whole process. I found her to be incredibly passionate about her work and sensitive to the needs of her clients as well. Realtors and sellers alike should seriously consider her services - if not, you could end up losing out on a lot of time, money, and saved energy. Thank you Vicki!
My house in Florida sold in about a week because of Vicki. She came into my house, evaluated the decor and made several changes that greatly increased the appeal of my home. She was a joy to work with. I highly recommend her if you want to sell your house as quickly as possible. Thanks Vicki for all of your help.
As a professional Realtor in the South Shore area of Hillsborough County, Stage Coach Tampa Bay is the only company I recommend. Vicki is knowledgeable, professional and very cost effective: my listings sell faster when they've been staged. Her rates are affordable; she's willing to consult on an hourly basis or completely stage a vacant home. She delivers real value; in most homes, she shows the homeowner how to arrange and decorate using the owner's own items. Selling my client's home for the highest price and in the least amount of time is always my goal and Vicki has helped me achieve my goal time and time again!
Vicki was instrumental in my receiving an offer on my Valrico home in under 48 hours. She is kind and thoughtful in her communication. Making the staging changes necessary, as well as being thorough and honest, Vicki worked along side with encouragement and solid knowledge. Vicki followed up and phoned with further suggestions, though she was off the clock. Vicki's professionalism, intuition, positive attitude and skill led to the best possible outcome! Thank you, Miss Vicki!
Vicki turned my home into an open, inviting space that looked and felt wonderful. And because of her hard work, my house was sold at the Open House which was the second day it was on the market. Vicki is fun to work with and always positive. Thank you for all your hard work and positive energy Vicki.

Felix Means Happy ...
So He Must Be
By Janos Gereben
SFSU School of Music and Dance
May 16 and May 17
Jakob Ludwig Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy is living up the "lucky" part of his name as the world celebrates his 200th birthday. Were he alive, he might revel in the good fortune of being well honored by Vance George and the San Francisco State Chamber Singers.
George, the emeritus director of the San Francisco Symphony Chorus, along with conductors David J. Xiques and Cyrus Ginwala, the school's singers, the Alexander String Quartet, pianist Roger Woodward, the University Chorus, tenor Brian Cheney, and organist Jonathan Dimmock will celebrate the great composer with a generous cross-section of his works on May 16 at Oakland's Cathedral of Christ the Light and on May 17 at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral.
But that's just the teaser for the "well-honored" part. The concerts are benefits for causes that would have warmed the cockles of young Felix's heart and moved him to say thanks in one of the four languages he spoke fluently (German, English, Italian, and Latin).
Proceeds from the first concert will benefit the St. Martin de Porres School choral program, and the second concert will benefit the Choir of Men and Boys at Grace Cathedral — two organizations that provide music education and performance opportunities to young people.
The program contains several of Mendelssohn's undervalued, large-scale choral works, including several from his two oratorios, St. Paul (1836) and Elijah (1846). Also one of the composer's early string symphonies, several keyboard works, and the magnificent String Quartet No. 6 in F Minor, Op. 80. Not leaving out Felix's talented sister Fanny, the concert includes two works by her.
It's no wonder that a choral master, like George, would love Mendelssohn, who contributed a good portion of the 19th-century's best choral music to the repertory. During his quarter-century leadership of the SFS Chorus (1983-2006) and before, with Margaret Hillis' Chicago Symphony Chorus, George has championed Mendelssohn's music, along with a broad range of composers, from Bach to Sondheim. Under his baton, the SFS Chorus won four Grammy Awards, including Best Choral Album (for Brahms' A German Requiem and Orff's Carmina Burana), Classical Album of the Year, and the 2001 concert production of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.
George is enchanted by Mendelssohn's childhood, his visit to Leipzig at age 12, spending time with the 73-year-old Goethe. "Every morning," George quotes Mendelssohn's diary, "I receive a kiss from the author of Faust. After dinner, I entertain with Bach fugues and improvisations. I saw where Bach worked and composed!"
A few years later, the Bach-Mendelssohn connection flowered, George says, "through Sarah Itzig Levy, a sister of Bella Salomon, Mendelssohn's maternal grandmother, Felix copying the then little-known St. Matthew Passion (can you imagine that!), and then another 'activist,' the actor Edward Devrient, sang the role of Jesus, and suddenly St. Matthew was — rightly — considered the greatest German art." Devrient has been quoted saying "It took an actor and a young Jew to return the greatest Christian music to the German people."

The time for "playing small" is well past, but unfortunately we didn't receive an owner's manual when we decided to incarnate and "borrow" these bodies for this human experience. Power tools appear to be everyday devices, but these tools can improve the human experience and build a reality that is constructed on a firm foundation of core values. Learn why you are here, how to use your thoughts to construct a richer reality, and how to create success in relationships, business, wealth and health.


This one comes directly from the dreamgaze soul-wrenching scene of San Francisco, and it is a gem! On April 3rd, revery-inspiring slowcore dreampop outfit Slowness, who hail from this northern Californian city, will release their brand new single Rose ahead of their long-awaited "Berths" LP. That one is slated for release later in June via Schoolkids Records. As for all Slowness releases, this new album was produced by Monte Vallier (Weekend, The Soft Moon, Wax Idols) and follows up their 2014 album "How to Keep from Falling off a Mountain" and 2013 album "For Those Who Wish to See the Glass Half Full" which were both well received by the fans and the media.
The band is a blow of freshness in the wider indie music streams, creating songs that are all sounding just beautiful and I must admit that the band seriously plays some breathtaking music too. Slowness runs mostly mid-tempo, sometimes fast and occasionally slow. As for this new record, it is purposefully slow, sounding like a hybrid between classic shoegaze, early dream pop and all the way up to modern dreamgaze music.
I'd only like to add that you should also listen to the lyrics, and save the links below which will unveil in time the single's B-side and eventually the whole new album by that very talented and interesting band!!!

Legendary Fort Concho And It's Haunted History
Fort Concho was built in 1867 to protect settlers and transportation routes from AmerIndian attacks.
One of the citadel's most famous commanders was Colonel Ranald Mackenzie. Due to his successful campaigns against the AmerIndians, he and his men were called Mackenzie's Raiders.
The fort was abandoned in 1889 because there were no more risks of hostile assaults. In 1935, the city of San Angelo bought the fort and began restoration to turn it into a museum that, as an added attraction for ghost hunters, has its haunters.
Mackenzie's Ghost Haunts Fort Concho
The colonel's specter had been sighted by staff and visitors in his old home at the center of Officers Row, which was their housing. It is said that Mackenzie loved his house and its site because he could see almost everything that was happening in the fort at any time.
A female staff member working in the building heard footsteps walking about behind her. When she turned to see who was there, she was pushed up against a wall by a blast of gelid air.
The women also the sound of knuckles cracking. She believes this was a manifestation of Mackenzie's ghost because, in life, he cracked his knuckles.
Fort Concho's Girl Ghost
Colonel Grierson's twelve-year-old daughter, Edith, died of typhoid fever on September 9, 1878 in an upstairs bedroom of one of the houses. Many people have sighted her phantom in this and other houses along Officers Row. Usually, she's seen playing jacks.
It's said that the room is colder than the others in the building. Spectral Edith acknowledges the presence of the witnesses by turning her head and smiling at them before she goes back to her game.
Florist Encounters Ghostly Edith of Fort Concho
When the man delivered the flowers to the Officers Row house, he was asked to put them into two upstairs bedrooms. As he went up the stairs, he noticed the temperature felt cooler than it was in the foyer.
When he went into the first bedroom, he almost tripped over a young girl playing jacks on the floor. The child didn't acknowledge him. The florist put them on the nightstand as directed, then put the other bouquet in the second bedroom.
Before he left, he looked into the first bedroom, noticed the girl was gone, that the flowers had been moved to a table and her jacks were on the nightstand.
As the florist was leaving, he saw a picture above the fireplace that looked like the girl he had seen. He believed he had encountered the resident's daughter and told the woman how she had moved the flowers. She told him she had no daughter, that Edith had died in the room and others had seen her.
Building #7 in Fort Concho Haunted
After the citadel was abandoned, #7 and other buildings were rented as private residences. There are two versions as to whose ghost is the haunter. While the building was vacant, people found the body of a man who had been shot to death.
Some believe he was a trapper, specializing in coyotes, wolves, and badgers and that he was killed in a disagreement over trapping rights. Others say it's the ghost of a sheep herder who didn't respect others' property rights.
He was told not to drive his sheep over another rancher's land, but disregarded this request. The land owner saw the shepherd approaching and shot him between his eyes.
Fort Concho's Other Haunters
During Christmastime, staff member Conrad McClure was working in the headquarters building when he saw an ethereal form in a blue soldier's uniform go past him. He was intrigued by the encounter with the unidentified ghost and did some research.
Second Sergeant Cunningham was the only soldier who died in the fort. The soldier was a chronic alcoholic and died on Christmas Day. Others have reported seeing his ghost looking out of the window.
The spectral voices of Chaplain Dunbar and an unidentified woman have been heard conversing in the post's chapel. Witnesses have reporting seeing soldiers' ghosts in the barracks. Mysterious lights dance about in what is now the library.
Fort Concho Today
The city of Angelo did an excellent job of restoring the fort. In 1961, Fort Concho was designated a National Historic Landmark. It offers many exhibits and events.
There are an extensive library and archives which are a treasure trove of history and genealogy for enthusiasts. The ghosts of Mackenzie, Edith, Cunningham, Dunbar and others unidentified remain in the fort.

2011: Twelve Months of Protest
By Elissa Curtis
It started when a Tunisian fruit vendor named Mohamed Bouazizi set himself on fire in the impoverished town of Sidi Bouzid to protest his lack of opportunity in one of the region's most repressive countries. Bouazizi's self-immolation was the catalyst that shaped the year now ending in a way no one could have imagined. People in one country after another took to the streets to demand change, energized and emboldened by those before them who refused to stand down. The wave of discontent spread from Tunisia to Egypt, Bahrain to Libya, its force propelled by the failing economy in Greece and political disenchantment in Spain and Russia, until it seemingly circled the globe, washing up on American shores to Occupy Wall Street.
As Mohamed Bouazizi's desperate act ricocheted around the world, these moments were captured in the camera eye of the photographers below. Here's a look at twelve months of protest.
January: Tunisia. Smoke billows down a street during clashes between police and demonstrators. After twenty-three years of rule, Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali left the country on January 14th, and Tunisia became the spark that set off a blaze of revolt across the Arab world.
"For me it was very important to be there, not only as a photojournalist but also as a personal experience. Tunisia and Tunisians transmitted courage and hope to many young people in Arab countries. They also taught the modes and rituals of the revolution to other young people. It has been incredible." —Alex Majoli/Magnum

IBM Cloud Aids Shop Direct's Path to Becoming a World Class Digital Retailer
Shop Direct Taps IBM Cloud to enable £50m Financial Services 'Personalisation Programme' to Accelerate Digital Transformation
LONDON and ARMONK, N.Y. – 27 Jan 2016: IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced it has signed an agreement as part of a £50 million Personalisation Programme with Shop Direct to redesign the retailer's financial services platform that will be hosted and managed through IBM's hybrid cloud. The new platform will provide Shop Direct customers with a wide range of innovative, personalised financial services products to help make the retailers world famous brands even more affordable to customers.
Today's announcement extends the existing digital transformation partnership which saw IBM Cloud help Shop Direct react to shifting customer demands in a mobile connected, cloud enabled world. The 10-year, large-scale services agreement reached in 2015 moved the multi-brand digital retailer to a hybrid cloud model. The deal was a significant milestone in the deployment of enterprise cloud and extended IBM's position as the premier global cloud platform with its secure, open enterprise cloud platform. Shop Direct can now quickly deliver new innovations to its customers and staff and continue to build its leadership as a digital retailer.
Retail customers desire a personalised and agile experience across all digital touch points, and as a result the demand for cloud computing has increased in response to this new wave of consumer. Cloud is transforming businesses like Shop Direct and providing a much more engaging and immersive customer experience.
Shop Direct Financial Services is one of the largest non-bank lenders in the UK and lives at the heart of its customer offering, playing a major role in differentiating Shop Direct from other retailers. The new platform will help Shop Direct build on a clear proven and successful strategy for cloud technology which has already driven significant levels of flexibility enabling it to respond better to the market and demand to drive business growth.
Shop Direct and IBM will work together to transform the retailer's credit offerings by providing customers with a broader set of financial services options, a more personalised experience and more options to self-serve. The project will separate the Shop Direct financial systems from the retail systems and provide a new financial platform on IBM's hybrid cloud. The platform will help Shop Direct bring together applications and data from public and private clouds and across multiple sources so it can deliver a range of flexible credit product offers that meet customer needs, respond quickly to new offers that come into the market and launch new credit offerings faster and at better cost. The new financial platform will also enable quicker responsiveness to regulatory changes and streamline processes while reducing the cost to serve as Shop Direct will only pay for what they use.
COMMENTING ON THE CONTRACT, ALEX BALDOCK, GROUP CEO, SAID:
"I'm proud to announce our Personalisation Partnership with IBM today. We already work closely with IBM in areas such as data security and the way we personalise the retail shopping journey.
This deal will broaden that relationship as we work with IBM to give Shop Direct groundbreaking capabilities to use our unique understanding and relationship with our customers to offer financial services products tailored to them."
DAVID STOKES, General Manager at IBM UKI, SAID:
"Consumers now expect an increasingly personalised and flexible user experience across all of their digital interactions, personal or professional. There has been a boom in cloud computing to meet the demands of this marketplace, offering access to unlimited computing power as required and easier ways to process large amounts of information. Cloud is no longer an IT trend. It's driving businesses like Shop Direct forward. The real winner in all this is the Shop Direct consumer as they are being provided with a much more engaging and immersive customer experience through the cloud."
