Q: JBOSS 5 LOG4J ExceptionInInitializerError Am migrating my application to JBOSS5 from JBOSS4
I get the below exception while doing so
I did all to make it work, replaced with new log4j, tried without log4j, changed common-logging jar.
But still am facing this exception. Appreciate your help on this.
Also, in my project they are maintaing JARS in three folders for some purpose 1.) webapp/lib 2.) common/lib 3.) services/lib
Am pasting here list of jars in each folder here
1.) WEBAPP/LIB folder

A Man For All Seasons
January 17, 2019 12:20 am / Leave a comment
It is a rare occurrence to see a film that is so memorable that it implants itself on the human psyche. A film that contains such a captivating story, compelling characters, and profound themes occurs so rarely it becomes etched into our collective unconscious. A Man for All Seasons is one of those films.
Set in Tudor England during the reign of King Henry VIII (1491 – 1547), A Man for All Seasons tells the story of Henry's divorce from Catherine of Aragon (1485 – 1536), the birth of the Church of England, and the man who stood opposed to it.
During the 1530s, King Henry VIII broke away from the Catholic Church, passed the Act of Succession (which declared Princess Mary (1516 – 1558), the King's daughter with Catherine, illegitimate) and the Act of Supremacy (which gave Henry supreme command over the Church in England), and made himself the Supreme Head of the Church of England.
In A Man for All Seasons, Henry asks Sir Thomas More (1478 – 1535) to disregard his own principles and express his approval of the King's desire to divorce his wife and establish an English Church separate from Rome. Henry believes that More's support will legitimise his actions because More is a man known for his moral integrity. Initially, Henry uses friendship and dodgy logic to convince his friend. It fails, and the so-called "defender of the faith" tries using religious arguments to justify his adultery. When this fails, he merely resorts to threats. Again, More refuses to endorse Henry's actions.
A Man for All Seasons is really about the relationship between the law (representing the majesty of the state) and individual consciousness. In the film, Sir Thomas More is depicted as a man with an almost religious reverence for the law because he sees it as the only barrier between an ordered society and anarchy. In one scene, when William Roper the Younger (1496 – 1578) tells him he would gladly lay waste to every law in order to get at the devil, More replies that he would "give the devil benefit of law for my own safety's sake."
More's reverence goes far beyond mere man-made law, however. He also shows a deep reverence for the laws of God, as well. After being sentenced to death, More finally breaks his silence and refers to the Act of Succession, which required people to recognise Henry's supremacy in the Church and his divorce from Catherine of Aragon, as "directly repugnant to the law of God and His Holy Church, the Supreme Government of which no temporal person may be any law presume to take upon him." More argues that the authority to enforce the law of God was granted to Saint Peter by Christ himself and remained the prerogative of the Bishop of Rome.
Furthermore, More argues that the Catholic Church had been guaranteed immunity from interference in both the King's coronation oath and in Magna Carta. In his coronation oath, Henry had promised to "preserve to God and Holy Church, and to the people and clergy, entire peace and concord before God." Similarly, the Magna Carta stated that the English people had "granted to God, and by this present charter confirmed for us and our heirs in perpetuity, that the English Church shall be free, and shall have its rights undiminished, and its liberties unimpaired."
The central problem of the film is that the legal and political system in England is incapable of allowing More to hold a contradictory, private opinion. Even before he is appointed Chancellor, More expresses no desire to get involved with the debate surrounding the King's marriage. He will not, however, swear an oath accepting the King's marriage or his position as the head of the Church of England. More believes that it is the Pope who is the head of the Church, not the King, and he is perfectly willing to sacrifice his wealth, family, position, freedom, and, ultimately, his life to retain his integrity.
The relationship between the law and an individual's conscience is an important one. What A Man for All Seasons illustrates is just how important this relationship is, and what happens when this relationship is violated. Modern proponents of social justice, identity politics, and political correctness would do well to watch A Man for All Seasons.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS (1946)
October 17, 2017 4:55 am / Leave a comment
This week for our weekly cultural article we will be examining the David Lean's (1908 – 1991) 1946 film Great Expectations, considered to be one of the greatest British films ever made. When it was released in 1946, it was met with glowing reviews. Today, seventy years later, it has been described by Criterion as "one of the greatest translations of literature into film."
David Lean's Great Expectations captures the essence of Charles Dicken's (1812 – 1870) literary genius by juxtaposing his memorable characters with the artful film direction of David Lean. Leans use of black and white to add to the foreboding and melancholy atmosphere of the film. Then there are the numerous dark, creepy, rundown, and ultimately human locations that burn themselves into the memory: the creepy graveyard where a young Pip first meets escaped convict Abel Magwitch, the Kentish marshes, Miss Havisham's dilapidated and macabre home whose clocks are stopped at the exact time Miss Havisham learnt of her fiance's betrayal, 19th century London, Mr. Jagger's offices whose walls are decorated with the death masks of defendants lost to the gallows, the prison where Magwitch dies, and so forth.
Then there are the wealth of memorable characters the film presents to us. The most notable of these is Pip through whom we see all of the tragedy and injustice of early 19th century England. Pip acts as more of an observer to the world around him than an actual protagonist. We first meet Pip (Anthony Wager, 1932 – 1990) as a young orphan being raised by his overbearing older sister (Freda Jackson, 1907 – 1990) and her kindly blacksmith husband (Bernard Miles, 1907 – 1991). It is during this time that Pip first encounters Abel Magwitch (Finlay Currie, 1878 – 1960), a kind yet ultimately decent escaped convict, in the cemetery, and when his heart is broken by the coquettish Estella (Jean Simmons, 1929 – 2010) and the dishevelled and deranged Miss Havisham (Martita Hunt, 1900 – 1969).
As the film progresses, we see Pip grow into a young man, played by John Mills (1908 – 2005), who, it could be argued, was perhaps a little too old to play Pip in his early twenties. This Pip has been bequeathed a large allowance by an unknown benefactor and travels to London with the view of becoming a gentleman. There he forms a friendship with the Herbert Pocket (Alec Guinness, 1914 – 2000) who helps him refine his manners. The adult Pip finds himself corrupted by the ponce and ceremony of the English upper-class and is ashamed to admit that he would have paid money to keep Joe Gargery, dressed in his cheap suit and awkward manner, away. Pip is forced to reexamine his views after discovering that his benefactor is none other than the escaped convict Magwitch, who was so struck by Pip's childhood compassion that he was inspired to make something of himself and become his benefactor. Magwitch's kindness and gratitude cause Pip to regain his lost humanity.
Great expectations represents a type of film that no longer exists: one that deals entirely with the human condition. These films are no longer made because they often do not involve exciting elements, but rather present characters that are flawed and suffering and places these characters in stories that are essentially tragic in nature. These films are no longer made because they do not fit into the blockbuster formula. Rather than the larger-than-life heroes of the blockbuster, films on the human condition feature characters that are ultimately flawed and suffering. These characters are placed in stories that are ultimately tragic in their nature. A far cry from the often over-the-top plots of the modern blockbuster. There is something deeply satisfying about films like Great Expectations which shows normal people to be capable of leading a dignified existence regardless of the tragedy and suffering they are forced to face.

As always, there are several amendments to the Act this year. The Division has posted an advisory memorandum that can be found at the following link.
As discussed in a separate posting to this web log today, Senate Bill 13-249 changes the procedure and timeframe for responding to a Division IME report.
House Bill 13-025, effective July 1, 2013, (1) changes the maximum insurance deductible permitted per claim, and (2) prohibits a respondent from attempting to shift any costs to the claimant or other source.
(6) changing the time for seeking a DIME to challenge the ATP's opinion that a claimant is not at MMI from 18 months to 24 months from the date of injury, and requiring the 24-month DIME physician to give an impairment rating if claimant is at MMI (and applying the heightened burden to overcoming both opinions).


GO Public Schools was honored on Thursday, April 28 with a prestigious Making Democracy Work Award from the League of Women Voters of Oakland. The award, presented at the League's annual luncheon, recognizes GO's efforts to inform, involve, and mobilize Oakland families in improving the city's schools.
The award was accepted by Carmelita Reyes, the principal at OUSD's Oakland International High School and a member of GO's Oakland Leadership Council.
GO co-founder Jonathan Klein expressed appreciation for the award.
GO has worked to lower barriers to participation for families, including bringing families together to develop solutions to Oakland's education challenges, and through a "School Board Watch" that offers easy ways to learn about and understand the school board's work. GO helps families develop their leadership skills and champions policies and programs that bring more resources and support to our highest need students.
JaQuita Colvin, an Oakland mother who has worked with GO, previously said, "I didn't think I had any power." But since getting involved, she's become an advocate for quality education and for better discipline policies. "I am doing what I am supposed to be doing," she said.
GO Public Schools has worked in Oakland since 2009, and in West Contra Costa starting in 2015. GO's mission is to involve and activate families and educators so all Oakland students have the opportunity to attend quality public schools.
The League of Women Voters of Oakland is an organization of women and men who want to make a difference in the political future of our country. LWV is a diverse, non-partisan, political group with a long-standing tradition of educating voters.

From sea to shining sea, the U.S. is dotted with talented makers and their noteworthy creations.
Tucked away in southern Oregon is the home base of Alexandra Rose Handmade, a line of adorable burp cloths, tiny dresses, crib sheets and more. With playful patterns and impeccable quality, these comfortable pieces are easy favorites of both the big and little people in the family.
Nursing isn't always easy, but dressing for it should be—that's the idea behind Bun Maternity. The maternity- and breastfeeding-friendly line of clothing is made in Los Angeles and features everything from park-appropriate tanks to pretty dresses for a night on the town. To make sure pieces are real-mom-approved, Bun has each item test-driven by a nursing mama and gets the thumbs-up before it hits the shop.
Hats off to Rachel Goode, founder of Briar, for creating one of the sweetest baby bonnets around. From their studio in Vancouver, Washington, the Briar team sources the highest quality fabrics and delivers top-notch craftsmanship, so the bonnets can be treasured for generations to come. To top it off, each package arrives with step-by-step illustrated instructions on how to tie the perfect bow.
Elle Rowley, mom of three (with No. 4 on the way!) and founder and CEO of Solly Baby, began experimenting to create the perfect baby carrier after the birth of her son, Solomon. In just four years she grew her handiwork from local craft-fair favorite to the backbone of a multimillion dollar company. The is brand is headquarted in San Diego and proudly oversees production in Los Angeles. Rowley remains actively involved with both the construction and the customers.
What do you do when your baby is born with sensitive skin? If you're Christine Burger, you create a skin care line that's safe and gentle enough to nourish even the most delicate conditions. Noodle & Boo's luxury line is made with only safe, natural ingredients and produced in San Jose, California. Offerings include solutions for both moms-to-be and their wee ones, so it's no surprise the brand is a celeb favorite.
Between the snowcapped peaks of Utah's mountains lies a real treasure: Sprout, a line of easy-to-assemble and responsibly made storage solutions and furniture for kids. The simple, modern designs appeal to parents, while the fun factor and bright colors pull in the tots. The venture was founded by Clark Davis, who decided to leap into the world of children's furniture to offer the next generation the same freedom to create and invent that he enjoyed as a child.
The aptly named Lucy Darling found its feet in 2012 as a humble Etsy shop selling a trio of baby milestone sticker sets. Creator Haily Meyers' cheeky, cheerful designs took off, and today she's running a Scottsdale, Arizona-based business with more than 60 unique sticker designs, 150 nursery art prints, baby memory books and more. All the offerings are responsibly sourced and printed with natural ink.
Rachel Danish's grandmother Lenora taught her the sewing and creative skills that led to the launch of Logan + Lenora in 2013. With four employees working out of the Denver studio, the brand aims to allow mothers to maintain a sense of self while embracing their new identity. Chic nursing scarves, delightful diaper clutches and drool-worthy burp cloths are handmade with care—and are all designed on the Bernina sewing machine Danish's grandma passed down years ago.
Jennifer Roth of Denver is a woman of many talents. She's an herbalist, abdominal and uterine massage therapist, and proud owner of Birds & Bees Teas, a line of organic loose-leaf herbal teas she created after discovering a void in the marketplace. All the blends are specifically designed to optimize a mother's health and heal her body and soul, whether she's looking to ease nausea, produce more milk or simply enjoy some much-needed relaxation.
In 2010, Tree Hopper Toys founder Eric Siegel began making cool wooden toys in his garage for family and friends. Fast-forward six years, and Siegel has an impressive line of playthings that remain true to his "old-fashioned quality meets contemporary design" aesthetic. He's happily moved out of the garage and now has four employees in his Chicago studio who help bring the trademark toys to nurseries and playrooms around the world.
Making a hobby a business—isn't that the dream? Sara Helsten, the mastermind behind Dolly Lana Designs, went from the operating room, where she worked as a nurse for 12 years, to the sewing table, where she now makes an adorable assortment of bibs, baby shoes and accessories that have been seen on celebrity kids, including Haylie Duff's daughter Ryan. Helsten is a one-woman show, from design to production, and mother of three in St. Louis.
Nestled in a quaint town just east of Cleveland, you'll find dozens of Amish artisans handcrafting mattresses, crib sheets and more for eco-conscious company Naturepedic. The comfy sleep surfaces they produce are as good for baby as they are the planet and boast GREENGUARD Gold certification, natural and organic components, and simple, practical designs to ensure tots slumber safely and soundly.
Online brand Littles started from a simple drive: Mom and creator Kate Greenway wanted to be able to stay home with her kids while still contributing to her family's income, so she took her eye for design and combined it with her husband's carpentry handiwork to create a small business that quickly blossomed into a brand. Their stunning nursery décor is cut, sanded, assembled, painted and packaged by hand in their at-home studio in southeastern Virginia.
Michelle Jewell left her job in 2010 to follow a dream of becoming a creative business owner. And if the quirky creatures in her shop Finkelsteins are any indication, the decision was a good one. Based in Charleston, South Carolina, Jewell has combined her passions for illustration and sewing to create a collection that everyone adores. Plus, the fact that each piece is still handmade (with impressive attention to detail) makes us love her all the more.
On the bayou in Thibodaux, Louisiana, Nichol Brinkman makes playful, original mobiles and wall hangings that range from classic (think Star Wars and Little Red Riding Hood) to unexpected (like sumo wrestlers). She began making her designs while grieving the passing of her mom, and the self-prescribed therapy project grew into the fulfilling, creative business of Pink Cheeks Studios.
Getting in a dose of vitamins and minerals is a cinch thanks to Bundle Organics, an NYC-based line of juices tailored specifically to support healthy fetal development and ease common pregnancy discomforts. The pasteurized organic beverages are loaded with good-for-baby-growing nutrients, like folic acid and calcium, and have no added sugars or preservatives. Cheers to a simple, tasty way to load up on mama must-haves.
Seven years ago the search for the perfect mobile led Jahje Ives to a whole new career. The trained sculptor and painter used her newfound mobile-making skills to create popular nursery décor company Baby Jives Co. Ives remains the brains behind the brand and now works with a few independent artists in her studio outside Philadelphia to create her line of handcrafted goods.
Originally from Europe, Colette Bream moved to the U.S. after graduating from university in 2003 and now fashions her whimsical line of pillows, toys and other handknit goods in the Chesapeake Bay region of Maryland. She personally designs and knits each item and uses the purest mediums she can find, such as Scottish lambswool, certified organic cotton and nontoxic water-based inks.
It's a tale as old as time: Baby wants to eat mom's keys; mom knows keys are gross and unsafe; drama ensues. Thankfully, Kirsten Chapman created a happy ending to the story by designing a nontoxic, realistic alternative called Kleynimals. The company is based in Annapolis, Maryland, and product (which now includes stainless steel flatware as well) is manufactured in upstate New York. Chapman strives to both "do good and bring good" by keeping her business completely green and donating a portion of revenue to select charities.

...It's Been a Long Time Coming
In our ongoing efforts to develop New Raman Reti to continue the mission of His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada, we are happy to present: RESTROOMS FOR NEW RAMAN RETI …it's been a long time coming! Our temple building was constructed in 1995, when there were roughly 7 families in the community. Kind of hard to believe that was 18 years ago. But it's not hard to believe we are now serving around 400 families in our immediate community, and a few thousand more in the greater congregation. One big problem, though…We still have only the same two bathrooms we started with 18 years ago.
This can be a very uncomfortable experience for everyone during peak times, like Sunday Feast and Festivals. At any big festival we have to rent portable toilets, and that is very expensive. The nicer ones go for $1,000 per event.
The bottom line, WE NEED BETTER FACILITIES. So our newest fundraiser is for The Bathroom
Together with a local architect we have designed an attractive but simple and practical structure that will give us five stalls on the ladies side, one stall plus three urinals on the men's side AND a family room that includes a stall and a shower, so that our pujaris can use this facility even if they are in the middle of their deity seva.
TOTAL BUDGET FOR THIS PROJECT $42,000

I finally got these babies in the mail! My high school classmate, Natalie Woo, is a well known jewelry designer here in Honolulu. Her pieces are so unique and trendy, a bunch of local boutiques sell her work and you'll most likely see one of her pieces on other local fashion blogs. She posts her latest items on Instagram on a weekly basis, so when I saw these, I had to have them! She might have more black arrowhead and Buddha necklaces available at Fighting Eel Downtown.


Frederick Law Olmsted and his eponymous firm were prolific for a century, especially in progressive cities like Philadelphia where parks movements had taken hold.
Olmsted kept meticulous records of correspondence and plans, and although not all projects would end up realized, the scope of contacts demonstrates the firm's prominence. Some of the files are in fact purely informative, perhaps including documents Olmsted received unsolicited. Many of the works here were also done by Olmsted's son and step-son, who carried the firm on past his death.
If you have more info about any of these works, please leave it in the comments and we'll update the post!

Report: Still Work To Be Done Safeguarding Federal Agencies
by Chris Brook on Thursday June 27, 2019
Many federal agencies are unprepared to "confront the dynamic cyber threats of today," according to a Senate investigation this week.
A Senate report this week cautioned that the federal sector needs to be doing a better job when it comes to protecting the personal data of Americans.
A report carried out by the U.S. Senate's Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs blasted a handful of federal agencies on Tuesday for not only failing to address vulnerabilities in their IT infrastructure but failing to comply with basic cybersecurity standards.
For the report, "Federal Cybersecurity: America's Data at Risk," (.PDF) the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations reviewed 10 years of Inspector General reports from eight departments, including the Departments of Homeland Security, State, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, Education, and the Social Security Administration.
Seven of the eight agencies it looked at - the Departments of State, DOT, HUD, Education, and SSA - failed to properly protect failing to comply with basic cybersecurity standards protect personally identifiable information, or PII.
The Inspector General has gone on record, insisting that "an accurate inventory of IT systems, interconnections, and software and hardware assets are critical foundational elements for managing risk." Five of the eight departments didn't keep a list of IT assets, meaning they'd have a hard time knowing what kind of applications are running on its network.
Six of the eight failed to install security patches, increasing the risk of vulnerabilities being exploited.
Legacy systems, many which are expensive to maintain and tricky to secure, remain a stumbling block for agencies as well. HUD told the Subcommittee it spends $35 million annually on the maintenance of legacy systems, the USDA said it spends $3.75 million. Other departments, like the HHS and the Department of Education, couldn't pinpoint exactly how much they spend on legacy technology.
The report breaks down each department, what sensitive data they're in charge of protecting -- then evaluates each department's security programs against five NIST security functions: identify, protect, detect, respond, and recover.
"After a decade of negligence, our federal agencies have failed at implementing basic cybersecurity practices, leaving classified, personal and sensitive information unsafe and vulnerable to theft," Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee's Subcommittee on Investigations, said in a statement. "The federal government can and must do a better job of shoring up our defenses against the rising cybersecurity threats."
As part of the research, the subcommittee affirmed that the government is not fully in compliance with FISMA, the Federal Information Security Management Act, a 2002 law that requires federal agencies have an information security and protection program in place.
"The longstanding cyber vulnerabilities consistently highlighted by Inspectors General illustrate the federal government's failure to meet basic cybersecurity standards to protect sensitive data," the report reads, "The Subcommittee will continue to track federal agency cybersecurity to ensure agencies meet FISMA's primary legislative objective to secure government information systems."

My database is created at run time, but i get this error
org.hibernate.DuplicateMappingException: Same physical table name [appartment_feature_option] references several logical table names: [AppartmentFeatureOption], [Appartment_AppartmentFeatureOption]
Any idea?
Edit with this code that work
@ManyToMany
@JoinTable(name="appartment_feautre_option_appartment", joinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="appartment_id"), inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="appartment_feautre_option_id"))
private List<AppartmentFeatureOption> featureOption;

A: Is this is actually your real code, maybe the issue is that you are using a ManyToMany relationship between Appartment and AppartmentFeatureOption whereas there is no link to Appartment in the AppartmentFeatureOption.
From my understanding for one Appartment you want to have several AppartmentFeatureOption, which is a OneToMany relationship.

France. Build for an indefinite general strike everywhere!
Posted by: Socialist Party Dec 11, 2019
By Nicolas Croes (our sister organisation in Belgium)
The first day of strikes and protests against French President Macron's proposed reform of the pension system was a resounding and historic success. On Thursday 5th December, there were nearly 250 demonstrations across France attended by no less than 1,5 million people. This compares with the first day of the movement against the proposed new labour law in 2016 which brought 500,000 people onto the streets, according to trade union estimates. On the next day, Friday, the strike was renewed for an indefinite period in several sectors with a new day of strike action announced for 10th December and a national mobilisation planned on 12th December.
Even before activities on the 5th of December, it was clear that this movement had massive support. On the eve of the protests, a poll by Harris Interactive for RTL and AEF indicated that 69% of the population supported strikes against the pension reform. The high turnout at the demonstrations was predictable, although many were afraid after a year marked by police violence against the yellow vests, during which thousands of people were injured.
The demonstrations brought together workers from the railways, Paris public transport service (RATP), health system and private companies, as well as teachers, pensioners and the yellow vests. The unions claim that 70% of teachers were on strike, some of whom continued on Friday. The CGT trade union federation estimated that 45% of the workers in the public sector were on strike. At Electricité de France (EDF), between 50 and 60% walked out. Still according to the CGT, 61,4% of SNCF railway workers participated. The CGT joined the rail unions UNSA-Rail and SUD-Rail in calling for an unlimited strike. Ten RATP metro lines were closed, more than during the previous strike on 13th September. Even in companies with a weaker trade union tradition, such as Orange, unions estimated the proportion of strikers at 15%, one of the highest rates since the early 2000s.
Ports and docks were at a standstill, while truck drivers organised blockades. Seven of the eight French refineries were on strike. Trade union official Emmanuel Lépine says this is "unprecedented", even when compared to previous movements in the refineries such as that in 2018 over pay, in 2016 against the El Khomri's Labour law or in 2010 against Sarkozy's pension reforms. On Friday, four refineries were still on strike. Even the police were affected by the strike, while Interior Minister Christophe Castaner tried to reassure them by saying that their special pension plan will be maintained.
Broaden the struggle
Everyone knew that a single mobilisation, however impressive it might be, would not succeed in forcing the government to retreat. Those who immediately renewed the strikes on SNCF, RATP, and of some teachers did so, without even waiting for the joint Trade Union meeting involving the CGT, FO, Solidaires and FSU intersyndicale together with the four youth organisations, which met on Friday morning to announce the new day of strike action for today, 10th December.
General assemblies have already been held at various workplaces. The key now is to develop them and anchor the movement as strongly as possible among colleagues, involving them democratically in the organisation of the struggle, especially in the renewal of the strike.
CGT General Secretary Philippe Martinez explained on television: "We must generalise strikes in all companies (…) We must renew the strike until it is accepted that this reform will generate poverty. We must rely on our social base, which is one of the best in the world, and improve it among young people, women and the vulnerable."
The Macron-government could now be confronted with a strike movement like the one against the pension reform in 1995. That strike movement paralysed public transport for three weeks and received massive popular support, forcing the government to give in. These were the largest strikes since those of May 68. That is the kind of potential we are talking about today.
The current movement is so strong that even the party most opposed to strikes, the Rassemblement National (formerly Front Nationale) of Marine Le Pen, felt compelled to pay lip service to the strike movement. According to the poll mentioned above no less than 75% of Le Pen's voters support the movement. This struggle can therefore also play a major role in combating the far right, by highlighting what unites workers regardless of their religion or skin colour. The divisive rhetoric of the far right cannot survive significant social mobilisations. But if the movement fails or is betrayed by union leaders, cynicism and disillusionment will open the way for the development of the far right.
France Insoumise and the Yellow vests
In France, the potential for a united struggle of various social movements against Macron and the world of big money he represents, is very clear. Already during the election campaign, the campaign of France Insoumise (FI) and its programme, particularly around "ecological planning", launched a dialogue on what type of response is needed against austerity and the destruction of our environment.
At the beginning of Macron's presidency, France Insoumise took very good initiatives to support union struggles and tried to help overcome the indecision that prevails at the top of the trade unions. Unfortunately, the union leaders, with some nuances, blocked any attempt to move towards a national struggle movement supported by general strikes. FI continued its initiatives, but with more emphasis on the fight in parliament. With no more public mobilisations, and also a lack of grassroots involvement, many supporters if FI were left wondering what they could do besides applauding the work of elected officials. The media campaign against FI also didn't help. The same media did not fail to attack the yellow vests, as they do every time when the workers go into action.
When the yellow vest movement emerged a year ago, it was strongest when it linked up with the workers' movement, overcoming the reluctance of its leaders. This was the case in Toulouse, where the blockade was massive on several occasions, thanks to the support of truck drivers' unions.
When the workers' movement uses its work tools as tools for struggle, by using the strike weapon, it is possible to build a powerful united struggle around it. As with every major social movement in France, there is no shortage of references to May 68 in the press or on social media. At the height of that month of revolution, the combination of struggling youth and a general strike of 10 million workers almost overthrew the system. Social anger is now reaching a boiling point similar to that in 1968. With a real renewable general strike based on assemblies of workers and young people in struggle, it is possible to win the demands of the movement.
The whole system has to go!
Labour productivity has increased significantly in recent decades: we produce more, with fewer workers. It is not true to say that pensions are unaffordable: there has never been so much wealth as there is today. There is more than enough to pay for our pensions, as well as addressing the many other shortages that are affecting society.
Local workers' and youth assemblies in the workplaces, in the neighbourhoods and so on, can not only democratically decide on the renewal of the strike and the measures needed to strengthen it, but can also collectively debate a broader set of demands. This could include demands such as:
An immediate freeze and lowering of gasoline and energy prices;
An income sufficient to live, not just survive by increasing wages and social benefits and indexing them in line with prices, including fuel;
Job security with real permanent employment contracts;
An attack on unemployment, not the unemployed by sharing out the work, reducing the working time to 32 hours per week without loss of pay with extra workers hired to compensate;
Putting needs at the centre of policy making with free and non-polluting public transport and public, particularly local services: crèches, schools, maternity units, post offices, public housing, etc.;
The (re)introduction of a wealth tax and a fight against tax evasion by the ultra-rich and multinationals with an end to indirect taxation (VAT, etc.), replaced by high tax rates for the rich and large companies;
A major environmental public service to create hundreds of thousands of jobs necessary for a green transition (ecological agriculture, short circuit food supply, renewable energies, etc.);
To achieve such a programme requires socialist measures such as the nationalisation and unification of the entire financial sector into a national investment and financing service under the democratic control of the community, as well as the nationalisation of key sectors of the economy so that large companies cannot continue to sabotage the ecological transition and to make sure democratic planning, based on ecological and other needs, becomes possible.
If France is rising up today, it is far from being the only country to do so. Since the first steps taken by the yellow vest revolt, the development of mass struggles and general strikes with revolutionary characteristics has been a powerful feature throughout the world. The list of countries whose governments face mass opposition continues to grow. Let us engage with confidence in this new era of struggle with the aim of leading workers and the masses to overthrow the capitalist system of exploitation so that all humanity can achieve true emancipation through the construction of a democratic socialist society.

Many people don't actually think about keeping their computer safe from virus and hacking, but keep on using the computer without programs, that can help with that. You can even get some programs for free, if you want to save money, which is particularly relevant if you're a student.
It is important to be careful about which programs you download though, as some of them will actually be virus infected. What you can do to avoid this is to read reviews about the programs, which can often indicate whether the programs are trustworthy or not. In this article we will give you advice on how to avoid virus and hacking.
Many people have at least once in their lives experienced having a virus infection in their computer. It happens very easily if you open an e-mail sent from a strange e-mail you don't know or if you've downloaded a virus infected program. It can also happen if you watch movies or tv-series illegally online, where the website mostly isn't safe.
The best thing to do to prevent a virus infection is to get at least one good anti-virus program like Norton AntiVirus 5.0.
Spyware is like the word itself indicates a program, that is installed on the computer without the users' knowledge and has the purpose of spying on you. It means that it collects your information and traces where you've been on the internet. One of the ways you can block spyware is to go to Mackeeper.no and download Mackeeper, if you have a Mac computer.
If you have a regular PC there are lots of other programs you can use, but we will advise you to use the website holyfile.com to find the anti-spyware program that fits your computer.
Anti-spyware programs are a good start if you want to protect your privacy, but additionally there are other programs to make it even better. The program Saferpass 6.0.0. makes sure that you can log out from Facebook or other programs and delete browser history on your computer from your phone, if you have forgotten to log out and lend the computer to someone else.
Another program called Sticky Password remembers your passwords for you, so you don't have to type it in every time you log on Facebook, Instagram or some other website, where you need a password. At the same time it is a secure program, that makes sure your passwords are safe from possible hackers.

make sure you change your shift!!
To add fuel to your fire, I've seen Yo La Tengo twice and they do a great live show, so it's worth some effort to see them.
The first act was Lonesome Strings actually. The Yo La Tengo set started at about 7 PM. I don't know where you work, but chances are, you probably would've been able to see at least half their set. Though yeah, the Studio Coast's location is pretty ridiculous.
Also, for Clammbon's encore, they brought out the guys from Yo La Tengo and they played "Today Is The Day" (off of YLT's Summer Sun album) together.
I was a bit surprised that the audience seemed to be 100% Japanese. I didn't see a single Caucasian face there, There might've been some that I just didn't see, since there were lots of people there, but there'd usually be a noticeable amount of expats for a band of YLT's caliber. But then again the main act were Clammbon.
i couldn't have gone anyway. i was organising an event that night.
i guess most people didn't know about that show except clammbon fans.


I started New Creations in 2006 with one simple idea – to create an exceptional client experience in custom home remodeling.
My career started as a child working for my father's contracting business. I worked hard but probably was not as gifted as my two older brothers who both went on to earn college scholarships in sports.
My dad liked to joke that I would never make a living with my hands like him, but that was a good thing, he said. I remember saying I wanted to start my own company one day just like him. I was a first-generation college graduate with a degree in Marketing from Lamar University, graduating in 1999. For the next seven years, I gained valuable experience working in various roles in construction such as sales, project management, business development, and marketing.
I realized it was time to start my own company when I became disenchanted with my employer's treatment of our clients. Remodeling became stressful, and the clients were often unhappy. I just knew that things could be a lot better and I began to dream. That's when I had the vision for New Creations.
The quest began by building a quality team of technicians, tradespeople, and designers who love what they do and value craftsmanship and family. Adding to that a relentless pursuit in perfecting our systems and procedures to improve our efficiency and quality, and an unwavering passion and desire to make our clients happy by exceeding expectations, we were well on our way to success!
After an early start on smaller projects like countertop replacement jobs, New Creations quickly evolved to much larger and more complicated projects and complete home renovations on the interior and exterior. We now specialize in projects with significant changes like removing/adding walls, cutting concrete, adding structural support, rerouting electric, plumbing, and gas, as well as adding doors and windows, and so much more.
Our service is 100% turnkey design-build. We work hard to impress our clients with our high level of attention to detail. We have worked with the same team of top engineers, designers, vendors, suppliers, and tradespeople for over a decade. We truly are one giant family always available to help each other at a moment's notice.
Now with hundreds of successful projects, over 125 Five Star client reviews (and growing), and multiple awards for customer service, creativity, and quality, New Creations has established itself in Austin, Texas as one of the most trusted brands for custom home remodeling. After well over a decade of owning New Creations, I love it now more than ever.
It's a special thing to work with the same team for so long who all share the same dream. The real joy in what we all do is seeing how our work impacts our clients' lives for the better and the lifelong friendships we develop with them along the way.
If you place your faith in New Creations, we will do a great job for you, I guarantee it.

I'm not the world's most organised person. I'm forever losing important pieces of paper. Over the christmas break I went through some of what I laughably call my filing system and attempted to impose a little more order.
One of the important pieces of paper I found was my TV licence. In an attempt to cut down the number of important pieces of paper I have to keep track on, I visited the TV Licensing web site and was happy to see that they have a Licence by Email facility. That seemed to be a good idea, so I signed up.
And nothing else. No information on how I could get my licence, or anything useful like that.
I realised what had happened. For various reasons I always read incoming mail in plain text mode. When I switched Thunderbird to HTML mode I saw that there was a carefully constructed HTML section as well and that this section had lots more information, including a link to a PDF of my new licence.
It's nice that they bothered to create a text portion of the mail (many people still don't). But I'm sure it could have been a bit more useful. Perhaps they could have included the link to my licence in the text portion. That way I wouldn't have had to open the HTML version at all.
It's a real shame when you see people trying to do the right thing, but just not understanding enough to get it right. I bet someone made a lot of money designing that system.
Oh, and the mail came from a "do not reply" email. That's just rude. What's the point of an email address that you can't reply to?
Whoever the webmaster at TV Licensing is should be permanently embarressed. The state of the site is appalling and gives no confidence that having taken your cash they will maintain a record and not subject you to later prosecution / persecution.
Currently and since the 1st Feb I have been trying to renew online using the pay by Credit / Debit card option. Having entered the licence details I wish to renew and hitting the continue tab, the form is wiped and no access to the second form is available. I have complained, they responded effectively saying it works for loads of users. Still I have a hard problem.
Nice receipt by post definately needed, please can we go back to using the Post Office?
Must I bother my MP?
I'm not happy about paying TV licence because my wife also paying it well we are staying on the same roof and married what must i do because i can afford to pay both of them.

Homelessness conference set for Donegal this week
Donegal Independent TD Thomas Pringle
As long as the Government fails to view housing as a fundamental right, homelessness figures will continue to rise in Donegal.
That's according to Independent TD, Thomas Pringle who says that government policies have led to the current crisis.
The Donegal TD says that figures show the issue is on the increase in counties like Donegal and the issue needs to be addressed as quickly as possible.
A conference is to be held on Thursday in Letterkenny in relation to the issue.
Speaking to OceanFM, Deputy Pringle says the current government has failed substantially on this issue:

The holiday season is a time for celebrating, a time to enjoy time with loved ones, and a time to reflect on all of our blessings. At Bay Imaging Consultants, we have so much to be grateful for. From an amazing staff to the inspiring patients we're lucky enough to work with, we've taken a moment to reflect on all the things we have to be thankful for.
It's safe to say we have the best radiologists in the biz, and it's something we thank our lucky stars for every single day. Our 90 board-certified radiologists are experts at what they do and have trained at the top academic medical centers for residency and fellowship programs, but more than that they're also all incredible people. Every single one has their own story, and we've been so lucky to get to know them over the years. When you visit one of our locations you'll be able to meet our incredible staff members firsthand, and we have no doubt that by the end of your visit you'll be as thankful for them as we are!
At BICRAD, we're thankful to be able to work with patients who inspire us to do better each and every day. Hearing your stories and witnessing your medical progress is what makes doing what we do worth it, and to be able to share in your journey is such a rewarding process. Everyone says it but for us, it's actually true: you guys are quite literally the best patients anyone could ever ask for!
Being located in the beautiful Bay Area.
What's not to be thankful for when you live in the Bay Area? We're fortunate to have locations throughout the East and North Bay. Warm weather, beautiful scenery, and historic architecture are just a few things about Northern California that are our favorites, and we so often forget how lucky we are to see these things every single day.
The opportunity to give back to the community.
We're thankful to be able to give back to the community in a big way. The American Heart Association Heart Walk, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, Zero Prostate Run, and Walk To End Alzheimer's are just a few of the ways we've been able to raise funds and awareness for our favorite causes. Our recent partnership with the CalBears is just another way we're able to help out in the community. We're fortunate to have a team that makes giving back so fun!
An amazing team of hospitals and outpatient centers.
We are thankful for professional radiology services to East and North Bay hospitals while operating five MRI and CT ACR accredited outpatient-imaging centers throughout the greater East Bay. Each of our locations has something that sets them apart and being able to expand our reach and bring accessible, affordable imaging services to even more patients is something to be thankful for!
Being able to help patients through radiology.
We're always thankful to be able to serve our patients in the best radiology care. From diagnosing diseases to helping fight cancer, our radiology specialties can help with any ailment.
Even when it's not the holiday season, our BICRAD team feels thankful for being located in a beautiful area and having such an amazing staff of talented radiologists. At Bay Imaging Consultants, we are most thankful for the ability to give back the community and help our patients with their radiology needs. What are you thankful for this holiday season?

Cindy D'Aoust is confirmed as ceo of global CLIA
Cindy D'Aoust - top priorities include uniting the global cruise industry and creating a stronger voice for cruising
Cindy D'Aoust, who has served as acting chief executive of Cruise Lines International Association the past seven months, was appointed president and ceo by CLIA's Global Executive Committee. The news was announced on the opening day of Seatrade Cruise Global in Fort Lauderdale.
Anne Kalosh | Mar 14, 2016
D'Aoust had joined the association as evp membership and operations in December 2014 and took on the acting ceo role in early August 2015 when Tom Ostebo exited after just a few weeks on the job.
'Cindy has proven to be an extremely valuable and knowledgeable member of our executive team. Her extensive experience in the hospitality and travel industries, combined with her leadership skills and passion for the cruise industry, made her the right person to guide our global industry association on an exciting journey forward,' said Adam Goldstein, global CLIA chairman and president and chief operating officer of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd.
D'Aoust is charged with directing CLIA's global team to unify, represent, advocate and promote the common interests of the members and the global cruise industry. Among her top priorities is uniting the industry and creating a stronger voice to make cruise travel the best vacation choice for every traveler around the world.
D'Aoust said she's honored to take on the role, representing cruise line and travel agent members and Executive Partners.
'CLIA is a strong and well-respected organization with an impressive global team. Now more than ever, it is important for the cruise industry to collaborate and create a stronger global voice,' she said.
D'Aoust brings more than two decades of experience in the hospitality and travel industries, including a leadership position at Meeting Professionals International, where she served as chief operating officer, overseeing global operations, marketing and member services.

Sure, replies have been made, as always. So on the other hand I actually like some of the things being done at the W3C now and some of the things that will be done soonish. For example: XMLHttpRequest, Window and XBL. Or how about Web Forms 2.0 as a W3C draft? Nice, not?
Come on Anne, that's lame. All the good things you mention were first prompted by WHATWG initiatives. I'm glad that the W3C is still active enough to get on board with these proposals but it's disingenuous to suggest that they were any where near starting the discussion.
Does it look like I'm defending them or something? Not my intention (I used "on the other hand" for a reason). I just like it that those things get adopted. And I wanted to point out some of the bad things happening there, like the SVG screwup.
Well, intelligent people may disagree about whether WCAG 2 is thoroughly fucked or only partially fucked. But SVG? Come on! How can you not love and admire a "vector graphics" format that supports raw TCP sockets?!?
How can you not love and admire a "vector graphics" format that supports raw TCP sockets?!?
connect, send and close methods, but no listen method? Disappointing! So much for the dream of writing a webserver in SVG.
There is nothing wrong with The W3C as a whole, but a lot of its working groups are screwing up big-time. One might argue that if enough of W3C's working groups screws up, then W3C is a big screw-up as well, but I think there are processes and people in W3C that still "works as intended" and that the organization itself is a very important unit in the mess that is the web today.
There wouldn't be much valid nor semantic HTML on the web if it hadn't been for the W3C and the position they are in because of a few relatively important specifications like HTML 4.01, CSS 1, CSS 2.1, DOM 1, DOM 2, DOM 3, XML, XSLT, XPath, PNG and WCAG 1.0. Without these, we would stil lbe wrangling and wrestling with browser-specific code (in more than one browser at least), visual markup and whatnot. So we should give them some credit and hope that the working groups that have screwed up either have learned from their mistakes or never produces another specification again.
Having the W3C as a standards organization to ratify and publish ideas and specifications like you have listed, Anne, is still very important.
Improving the web is an iterative process, in every iteration mistakes are made, but every iteration also solves lots of mistakes. I have good faith in the W3C. For the moment they are ahead of mainstream implementations (XHTML 2/CSS3), and as long as this is the case, they can still change the specs rather extremely!
I'm with Jacques on this.
My personal feelings are that the W3C can't control the quality of its Working Groups. Also, (a lot of) Working Groups' goals seem either academic or company-driven (for strategic reasons), not practical.
What concerns me most at this point is that replies tend to be political and "but it works for me" or "I have great hope" permeates them. I am more interested in practical solutions to bring the WG themselves and their output up to scratch.
nobody wishes a Web without the W3C.
Correction: nobody wishes a Web where the W3C had never existed. Past tense. Is it so difficult to imagine that the W3C once served a necessary purpose but has since outlived its usefulness?
HTML was invented when the Web was invented. So, before the W3C existed, but still because of Tim Berners-Lee. CSS was developed by Håkon Wium Lie and Bert Bos, both of whom worked for the W3C at the time. It started as a W3C standard, which was then implemented in browsers; not the other way around.


Photographs and text about the railway.
The text reads: This parade of shops was developed in the mid 1930s, after the underground station opened in 1932. Number 553 and 555 were combined in the mid-1950s, and occupied by the Circle Furnishing Company for many years.
The railway brought a population explosion. The total population was 1856 in 1921. It rose to over 30,000 in the 1930s, and by 1951 it had reached 42,000.
The line through Kingsbury was originally the Metropolitan, but later became the Bakerloo.
Photographs, illustrations and text about Kingsbury Manor.
The text reads: Kingsbury Manor, near Roe Green, was built in 1899 for the Duchess of Sutherland, Lady Mary Caroline Blair.
She became Duchess of Sutherland by her second marriage to the 3rd Duke. Her first husband had worked for the Duke, and died in suspicious circumstances after Mary had embarked on an affair with the Duke, who was then also married. She had the house in Kingsbury built to be a small (by her standards) country retreat to enjoy with her 3rd husband, and called it the Cottage. It was not called the Manor until after 1928.
The building later became famous after John Logie Baird acquired the coach house as a studio for his television experiments. The world's first television signals were received here from Berlin in 1929, and the first sight and sound transmission in 1930.
Although adopted by the BBC his system was superseded in 1937 by that of Marconi-EMI. Baird kept experimenting. He initiated research into radar and infra-red television, and produced three dimensional and coloured images before his death in 1946.
Illustrations and text about hay and horses.
The text reads: In the Middle Ages the population of Kingsbury was about 50. By the beginning of the 19th century it had only risen to 200, and by 1911 the count was still only 821.
97% of all the land in Kingsbury was under grass by 1838. The local industries were the production of hay, and the rearing of horses.
Alfred Vanderbilt, of the American shipping and railways family, kept his horses at Kingsbury Stud Farm, adjoining Kingsbury House near the Green, until his death on the Lusitania in 1915.
Hay was sent away on wagons to the Haymarket in London, to help keep the vast population of working horses in the capital fed. The wagons returned loaded with manure to fertilise the hay fields.
Photographs, illustrations and text about the Lyon family.
The text reads: Lyon Farm, 1939. This was the 18th century building that replace John Lyons' farmhouse. The Perrin family left it to Wembley Council who demolished it in the 1960s.
Lyon Farmhouse in nearby Preston had been the home of the Lyon family since 1393. John Lyon, who founded Harrow School in 1572, and gave the farm's income to fund his establishment, was born there in 1534.
Like Kingsbury, Preston also has a Saxon name. It means "the farm belonging to the priest", and is first recorded in the year 1220. By the mid-15th century Preston consisted of two farms and a few cottages.
Photographs and text about aviation in Kingsbury.
The text reads: Life in Kingsbury changed suddenly and irreversibly when the 1st World War broke out. Engineering and aircraft industries were hurriedly developed around London Aerodrome, better known as Hendon Airfield.
The Stag Lane Aerodrome developed at Grove Park. Roe Green village was built to house the workers. Geoffrey de Havilland was a designer here during the war, and once it ended formed his own aircraft company based at Stag Lange. His company went on to produce the famous Tiger Moth, the Mosquito and the Comet jet airliner.
Amy Johnson learnt to fly in a Tiger Moth at Stag Lane, when she joined the London Aeroplane Club in 1928. She became the first woman to fly solo to Australia in 1930. In 1932, with her husband James Mollison, she crossed the Atlantic in a de Havilland biplane. Her many exploits ended during the 2nd World War. She served as a pilot and was lost after bailing out over the Thames in 1941.
An illustration and text about Lewgars.
The text reads: The antiquarian E. N. Haxell extended an older building, using materials discarded in the refurbishment of St Andrew's Church during the 1870s, to create this elaborate mansion as seen above in 1910.
In the 1890s the resident was Mr Brookes, the manufacturer of Monkey brand soap.
The text reads: The poet John Chalkhill lived in this area in Elizabethan times. He was described as "an Acquaintant and Friend of Edmund Spenser", the famous author of the Faire Queene, written in honour of Elizabeth 1.
Oliver Goldsmith lived at Hyde Farm in the 1770s. He wrote his well-known stage play She Stoops to Conquer here, and was visited by such luminaries as Dr Johnson and Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Text about the Welsh Harp.
The text reads: Plans for the Welsh Harp Reservoir (also known as Kingsbury Reservoir) were first implemented by the Regents Canal Company in 1819, and work was completed in 1837.
The Old Welsh Harp inn, from which the reservoir takes its name, was situated on the Edgware Road. From 1859 until 1889 it was run by W. P. Warner, and it became a major venue for Londoners. Its best known attractions were the Kingsbury steeplechase race course, and the Music Hall.
Two of the greatest Music Hall stars who performed at the Welsh Harp also popularised songs about the place. Miss Annie Adams sang "The Jolliest Place That's Out", and Albert Chevalier (known as the 'Coster Laureate'), sang "The Coster's Serenade".

Q: What are the rules for printing an unsigned short value after entering an integer outside of the range of unsigned short? #include <iostream>
#include <climits>
int main(void) {
    std::cout << SHRT_MIN << std::endl;
    std::cout << SHRT_MAX << std::endl;
    //-32768 ~ 32767 is the range
    short a;
    std::cin >> a;
    std::cout << "decimal: " << a << std::endl;//decimal
    return 0;
}

Look at the above code used to observe what happens when I enter an integer outside of the range of short.
When I enter any integer smaller than -32768, like -3333333, -32768 will be printed.
When I enter any integer bigger than 32767, like 3333333, 32767 will be printed.
Now I want to see what happens when I enter an integer outside of the range of unsigned shorts.
Here's the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <climits>
int main(void) {
    std::cout << USHRT_MAX << std::endl;
    unsigned short a;
    std::cin >> a;
    std::cout << "decimal: " << a << std::endl;//decimal
    return 0;
}

There seems to be no  USHRT_MIN, but I think it is 0 that is the smallest.
So the range of unsigned short 0 ~ 65535 is the range.
When I enter any integer bigger than 65535, like 3333333, 65535 will be printed.
Now comes the part that confuses me a lot.
When I enter an integer smaller than 0,
-1, decimal: 65535
-2, decimal: 65534
-3, decimal: 65533
-4, decimal: 65532
...
-65534, decimal: 2
-65535, decimal: 1
-65536, decimal: 65535
-65537, decimal: 65535
-65538, decimal: 65535
-65539, decimal: 65535
-3333333, decimal: 65535

From -1 to -65535, print value for a seems to have a pattern.
From -65536 to any smaller negative integer, print value for a remains 65535 all the time.
Entering an integer outside of the range of short seems like a very easy rule to follow.
Entering an integer outside of the range of unsigned short is difficult for a beginner like me to understand now.
What are the rules for printing an unsigned short value after entering an integer outside of the range of unsigned short ?

A: Just adding a check to know if >> signal a problem :
#include <iostream>
#include <climits>

int main(void) {
    std::cout << USHRT_MAX << std::endl;
    unsigned short a;
    if (!(std::cin >> a))
      std::cout << "wrong ";
    std::cout << "decimal: " << a << std::endl;//decimal
    return 0;
}

Compilation and executions:
pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $ g++ -Wall c.cc
pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $ ./a.out
65535
-1
decimal: 65535
pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $ ./a.out
65535
-2
decimal: 65534
pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $ ./a.out
65535
70000
wrong decimal: 65535
pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $ ./a.out
65535
-70000
wrong decimal: 65535
pi@raspberrypi:/tmp $

In fact an error is signaled if you are out of range but without considering signed/not signed

Q: VB.Net USB interface I have developed software that connects to my inverter to control everything it does. This works via RS-232. This works well. Now a new model of the inverter has come out that has only USB. I want to modify my software to communicate to the inverter using USB but I can not find any simple sample code that shows how to connect to hardware using USB. I have read that there is no native USB control in VB.Net. I found this site http://janaxelson.com/hidpage.htm but it does not show how to send and receive a command like when using RS-232.
I hope somebody can help as it seems impossible using VB.
