Baron Franjo Jelačić Bužimski (English: Franz Jellacic, also Francis Yellachich of Buzhim or German: Franz Jellačić von Buzim, Hungarian: Ferenc Jellacsics de Buzim) (14 April 1746 – 4 February 1810) was a Croatian nobleman, a member of the House of Jelačić. He began his service in the Habsburg army as a Grenz infantry officer and fought against the Ottoman Turks. During the French Revolutionary Wars he received promotion to the rank of general officer and won an outstanding victory at Feldkirch. His later career proved that his martial abilities were limited. He twice led independent division-sized forces in the Napoleonic Wars, with unhappy results. He was Proprietor (Inhaber) of an Austrian infantry regiment from 1802 until his death.

2 Napoleonic Wars
4 Notes
Born in 1746 at Petrinja in the Kingdom of Croatia of the Habsburg Monarchy, Jelačić became an officer cadet in the 1st Banal Grenz Infantry Regiment in 1763. He was appointed to Captain in 1772 and Major in 1783. He participated in the Austro-Turkish War (1787–91) and earned promotion to Oberstleutnant (lieutenant colonel). Still serving with the Grenz infantry of the Habsburg Monarchy army, Jelačić was elevated to the rank of Oberst (Colonel) in 1794. He fought in the War of the First Coalition on the upper Rhine River, at the Battle of Würzburg, and in other actions. His promotion to General-Major came through in March 1797.[1]
On 23 March 1799 at the Battle of Feldkirch in the Vorarlberg, Jelačić led his 5,500 soldiers to victory over 12,000 Frenchmen. The Austrians inflicted 3,000 casualties on their enemies at a cost of 900 killed and wounded. His command included the 3rd battalions of the Kaunitz Infantry Regiment Nr. 20, De Vins Infantry Regiment Nr. 37, and Peterwardeiner Grenz Regiment Nr. 9; the 2nd battalion of the St. George Gernz Infantry Nr. 6, and the 1st battalion of the Broder Grenz Infantry Regiment Nr. 7.[2] The French were led by two future Marshals, André Masséna and Nicolas Oudinot.[3] For this remarkable feat, he received promotion to Feldmarschall-Leutnant (Lieutenant Field Marshal)[4] and was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Military Order of Maria Theresa. He was also given the title of hereditary baron. In 1802 Emperor Francis II appointed him proprietor of Franz Jellačić Infantry Regiment Nr. 62, a new Hungarian outfit. This unit should not be confused with the Johann Jellačić Infantry Regiment Nr. 53.[5] In 1801, his wife Ana Portner von Höflein gave birth to their son Josip Jelačić, who also became a general and supported the Austrian regime during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.[1]
In 1805, Jelačić commanded a corps in the army of Archduke Ferdinand Karl Joseph of Austria-Este and Karl Mack von Leiberich during the Ulm Campaign. At first his troops defended Biberach an der Riss.[6] Around 6 October, Mack ordered Jelačić to move toward Ulm. At this time, Jelačić commanded 15,000 troops organized in 16 infantry battalions, six Jäger companies, and six cavalry squadrons. Emperor Napoleon I of France and his Grande Armée began to envelop the Austrian army.[7] During the Battle of Wertingen on 8 October, the Battle of Günzburg on 9 October, and the Battle of Haslach-Jungingen on 11 October, the Grande Armée began to close in on its prey.[8] On the 12th, Mack reorganized his army, making Jelačić one of four corps commanders, the others being Johann Sigismund Riesch, Franz von Werneck, and Karl Philipp, Prince of Schwarzenberg. He then ordered Jelačić to march south toward the Tyrol via Ochsenhausen for no explainable reason.[9]
Jelačić surrendered at Dornbirn on 13 November 1805
Jelačić's troops escaped the Surrender of Ulm and made it to the Vorarlberg near Lake Constance.[10] Napoleon assigned Marshal Pierre Augereau and his 12,000-man corps to hunt down Jelačić.[11] In a series of small actions, Augereau drove the Austrians steadily back and managed to split their forces apart.[12] Jelačić surrendered to Augereau with his remaining 4,000 troops in the Capitulation of Dornbirn on 13 November.[11] Under the terms of surrender, the Austrians were repatriated to Bohemia with the promise not to fight against France for one year. One thousand of his cavalry, under General-Major Christian Wolfskeel von Reichenberg and Colonels Wartensleben and Kinsky, made a remarkable march through Bavaria and reached Bohemia in safety.[12] Another portion of the Vorarlberg force under Prince Viktor Rohan tried to reach Venice but was caught 40 kilometres (25 mi) short of its goal. Rohan surrendered to Laurent Gouvion Saint-Cyr and Jean Reynier at Castelfranco Veneto.[13] Jelačić soon retired from military service.[1]
Battle of Raab
Brought out of retirement for the War of the Fifth Coalition, Jelačić took command of an infantry division in Johann von Hiller's VI Armeekorps. Originally, the division included two line infantry brigades under Konstantin von Ettingshausen and Josef Hoffmeister von Hoffeneck.[14] On the outbreak of war, Hoffmeister's brigade was exchanged for the light brigade of Karl Dollmayer von Provenchères.[15] The division was detached from VI Armeekorps and sent to occupy Munich. After the Austrian defeats at the battles of Abensberg, Landshut, and Eckmühl from 20 to 22 April 1809, Hiller retreated rapidly east and Jelačić was ordered back to Salzburg.[16]
Jelačić's 10,000-man division was assigned to the army of Archduke John of Austria.[17] On 29 April the Bavarians occupied Salzburg as Jelačić slipped away to the south.[18] He successfully defended the Lueg Pass near Golling an der Salzach on 1 and 4–5 May, twice defeating a Bavarian brigade.[19] He sent Provenchères and almost all of his cavalry to join the main army.[20] John desired Jelačić to join him, but his orders were ambiguously worded. Misinterpreting his orders as requiring him to hold his isolated position, he stayed in place until 19 May. When Jelačić finally realized his danger and withdrew toward Graz, it was too late. Believing his artillery to be of little use in the mountains, he sent most of it ahead of his column, retaining only four cannons. On 25 May, Paul Grenier's 12,000 to 15,000 strong Franco-Italian corps caught up with his division at the Battle of Sankt Michael near Leoben on 25 May. Without sufficient artillery and cavalry support, Jelačić's 9,000 troops were overwhelmed, suffering 423 dead, 1,137 wounded, and 4,963 captured. French losses numbered only 670.[17][21][22] Historian Gunther E. Rothenberg called Jelačić "a remarkably unlucky and inept general."[23]
Jelačić and his survivors joined Archduke John's retreat across Hungary. At the Battle of Raab, he commanded 7,500 infantry of the right flank division. With help from the army reserve, his soldiers drove off the first Franco-Italian attack, but the action ended in an Austrian defeat.[24] He commanded his division at the Battle of Wagram but John's army arrived too late on the field to have any effect on the outcome.[25] He died on 4 February 1810 at Zalaapáti in modern-day Hungary.[1]

Government issues warning of El Nino drought.

The government on Thursday issued a statement raising concerns of a drought, as El Nino threatens to cast a prolonged dry spell when it hits the Kingdom in April and May.
In the statement, Prime Minister Hun Sen appealed to residents and the authorities to be ready for the probable troubling effects caused by the weather phenomenon.
Temperatures are forecast to soar up to 42 degrees Celsius and with some thunderstorms, coupled with strong winds that will sweep through some parts of the country during the warm cycle.
Farmers are advised to delay the next rice production cycle, which traditionally runs from May to November, and divert water to irrigate other crops instead.
The statement calls for the preservation of water on 'reservoirs, natural ponds and lakes' and suggests that people use less water for daily activities.
The authorities are to prepare to mitigate the impacts caused by El Nino, particularly among 'vulnerable communities', it said.
Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology spokesman Chan Yutha on Thursday briefly explained the weather pattern and recalled the 2015-16 El Nino, saying: 'It is the warming of the ocean surface in central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean. In 2016, it affected two-thirds of the planet.'
In Cambodia alone, he said, tens of thousands of people were affected.
Several provinces in the south, west and north of the Kingdom - such as Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Siem Reap, Oddar Meanchey and Preah Vihear - saw temperatures rising between 40 and 42 degrees Celcius, Yutha said.
Banteay Meanchey's Mongkol Borei and Sisophon districts were hit badly by El Nino in 2016, he continued. About 10 million cubic metres of water was distributed to the residents of the two districts from Kamping Puoy lake, located 110km away.
The World Health Organisation estimated that more than 60 million people, particularly in Latin America, the Caribbean, the Asia-Pacific region, as well as eastern and southern Africa, were affected due to the extreme events.
Yutha said Cambodia is more prepared now, having had prior experience in dealing with the extreme events.
'Our concern is people would start planting rice in the next season. This would be a problem because of the possible drought, and rice crops require a lot of water.'
He said 11 working groups from the ministry have been sent to the countryside to inform people not to start the next rice production cycle now and to save water.
Ly Sary, Banteay Meanchey Deputy Governor said water shortage has started to occur in Svay Chek and Preah Netr Preah districts. The provincial authorities, he said, have asked the National Committee for Disaster Management for help.

Tilapia was banned in the country in 1959, but it has overrun lakes and reservoirs. … So real was the threat that the Fisheries Research Committee of India imposed a ban in 1959 on Oreochromis mossambicus , a tilapia species introduced in 1952.

Imported seafood species favored by consumers include frozen cod and halibut, and live species such as geoducks, lobster, and crab. Experts believe most of these additional imports are destined for domestic consumption, rather than for processing and re-export.
The world's stocks of seafood will have collapsed by 2050 at present rates of destruction by fishing, scientists said yesterday. By 2048, to be exact, catches of all the presently fished seafoods will have declined on average by more than 90 per cent since 1950. …
The sea is called "dead" because its high salinity prevents macroscopic aquatic organisms, such as fish and aquatic plants, from living in it, though minuscule quantities of bacteria and microbial fungi are present. In times of flood, the salt content of the Dead Sea can drop from its usual 35% to 30% or lower.

A one-day-old strike by nearly 40,000 Verizon Communications employees is causing equipment installation delays for new Internet and TV customers, a Verizon executive acknowledged on Thursday.
Workers of Verizon's Fios Internet, telephone and TV services from network technicians to customer service representatives walked off the job on Wednesday in one of the largest U.S. strikes in recent years after contract talks between unions representing them and the company hit an impasse.
The company, which is focusing on repairs and service for its existing customers, said networks were running well.
In a week or two the company should be able to do new installations, she said. It normally has about 30,000 to 35,000 of them each week, with over 30% of customers opting to do a self-installation.
The strike affects service across several U.S. East Coast states, including New York, Massachusetts and Virginia, but does not extend to the company's wireless operation. Union representatives and Verizon said on Thursday no talks were scheduled so far.
Verizon (vz) has said it had trained thousands of non-union employees over the past year to ensure no disruption in services. The unions, however, say that replacement workers do not have the necessary expertise, especially in highly technical jobs such as equipment installations.
The company has deployed about 20,000 non-union workers to fill in for union workers, said Bob Mudge, president of Verizon's wireline network operations.
Verizon and the unions have been in contract talks since last June; the sticking points include healthcare, temporary job relocations, pensions and offshoring call center jobs.
A day after the strike started, there were a handful of customer complaints on Verizon's customer service website related to Internet outages and a no-show after a scheduled installation appointment.

Dreaming the Impossible: Unbuilt Britain, which begins on BBC Four tonight, will outline radical 1940s council-backed plans to demolish the entire city and start over again from scratch.
Using computer generated images it depicts the uniform rows of high rise apartment towers and office buildings which could have risen from the ashes.
Made for the BBC by Timeline Films and presented by architectural historian Dr Olivia Horsfall Turner, the three-part series examines British building projects that never made it off the drawing board.
Glasgow will feature in the third episode to be broadcast a fortnight tonight which documents an ambitious proposal following the Second World War.
With much of the city's housing stock dilapidated and decaying, the Glasgow Corporation charged its chief engineer Robert Bruce as the man to solve the crisis. The Bruce Report was published in 1945.
"It's hard to explain this report without sounding melodramatic but that's because his plan was quite staggering," said Dr Horsfall Turner. "Bruce proposed demolishing Glasgow's Victorian city centre and starting all over again.
"He didn't want to just demolish the slums: he wanted to get rid of everything. Casualties would have included Glasgow School of Art by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Central Station and the buildings of Alexander "Greek" Thomson.
"In his report he stated that re-planning should be 'surgical' and that 'boldness' is required," she added. "Bruce's description of performing surgery on the city feels like something of an understatement when one looks at the plans that he devised. This just wasn't a face lift: it was a complete heart transplant."
But not everyone shared his vision and among its most formidable opponents was Sir Patrick Abercrombie, one of the 20th century's most famous urban planners, who was given the high profile task of re-building London after the Second World War.
"His solution to the capital's problem of overcrowding had been to propose new towns, smaller satellite communities that would syphon off the excess population from London," said Dr Horsfall Turner.
Asked by the government to turn his attention to Scotland's biggest city, in 1946 Abercrombie published a rival report to Bruce's called the Clyde Valley Regional Plan. He emphatically concluded that the solution to overcrowding in Glasgow was for half the population to be dispersed to new towns.
But Glasgow Corporation, keen to maintain its status as second city of the empire and fearful a mass exodus would dilute this, instead backed Bruce, formally approving his scheme in 1947.
Then, two years later, came a dramatic U-turn. "The investment required for the scale of rebuilding, particularly at this point in time, would have been astronomical," said Dr Horsfall Turner.
Today, there are few who would rue the fact it never came to fruition, as Glasgow would have lost much of its character and beauty.
"While Bruce's vision was clean, efficient, inspiring and spoke of the future, security and equality, the aesthetic of that was so uncompromising and stark," said Dr Horsfall Turner. "It's very difficult to imagine the multiple connected families, living cheek by jowl in the Glasgow tenements, suddenly being transposed to a very different kind of architectural regime.
"Buildings are containers for living, but there is something much softer in what we need from them. They inform the way that human beings build social relations. To think of those families, who were living in tenements, being put into high rise flats is devastating really."
The series also examines plans in the run-up to the First World War to build a sea canal through the heart of Scotland, allowing Naval battleships to cross from west to east.
Two schemes were proposed for the Mid Scotland Ship Canal, the first mooted to run from the Clyde estuary, via Loch Lomond, to the North Sea. Equal in size and scale to Panama Canal, the price tag was £8 million - the equivalent today of £2.7 billion.
The second, almost 20 miles shorter, was to link the Clyde with the Firth of Forth, creating a new waterway through central Scotland alongside its existing canals.
But the project was deemed too expensive. Dr Horsfall Turner believes that had the Mid Scotland Ship Canal come to pass, it could have led to lasting economic benefits today.
"Although it would have been radical in terms of what it would have done to the Highland area of Scotland, effectively creating an offshore island, the potential for commerce, trade and continuing shipbuilding along the Clyde would have been greatly enhanced," she said. "It would probably, by now, have created a fantastic cruise liner destination and is interesting to think how it might have affected the ongoing viability of the country's shipyards."

Ember Lab ist ein US-amerikanisches Studio für Animation, digitale Inhalte und Videospielentwicklung mit Sitz in Los Angeles.

Geschichte
Das 2009 von den Brüdern Mike und Josh Grier gegründete Studio hat bereits an mehreren animierten Werbespots und Markenspielen gearbeitet und 2016 einen viralen Kurzfilm mit dem Titel Terrible Fate veröffentlicht, der auf The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask basiert. Nach der Veröffentlichung von Terrible Fate sah das Entwicklerteam in der Entwicklung eines Videospiels den "natürlichen nächsten Schritt". Als sie mit der Entwicklung der Geschichte für Kena: Bridge of Spirits begannen, zog Ember Lab einen Animationsfilm oder eine Serie in Erwägung; als sie die Rot kreierten, wurde ihnen klar, dass ein Videospiel besser geeignet wäre, da die Kreaturen eine Verbindung zwischen Gameplay und Erzählung herstellten.

2017 bestand das Team aus 15 Mitarbeitern.

Im Oktober 2020 behauptete der ehemalige Designer Brandon Popovich, Ember Lab habe ihn nicht vollständig für seine Arbeit am Spiel entschädigt und Zusagen bezüglich einer Beteiligung und einer Beförderung nicht eingehalten; eine anonyme Quelle erhob ähnliche Vorwürfe und beschuldigte das Unternehmen unbezahlter Überstunden und nicht eingehaltener Versprechen einer Vollzeitstelle. Ember Lab antwortete daraufhin, dass es Aufzeichnungen über alle bezahlten Rechnungen habe und leugnete jegliche Versprechungen bezüglich einer Beteiligung oder Beförderung.

Am 21. September 2021 erschien ihr erstes Spiel Kena: Bridge of Spirits für PlayStation 4 und PlayStation 5 und Steam. Für dieses Spiel erhielt das Studio einige Awards.

Q: Difference between SNR and PSNR I understood that SNR is the ratio of signal power to noise power and can be used to measure the effect of noise added to images. Likewise, in PSNR, we take the square of the peak value in the image (in case of an 8 bit image, the peak value is 255) and divide it by the mean square error. Both  SNR and PSNR are used to measure the quality of an image after the reconstruction and higher the value (SNR or PSNR) better is the reconstruction. What I don't understand is how SNR and PSNR differs in terms of their conclusion about the reconstructed image.
What the PSNR of an image concludes that the SNR of the same image can't conclude?

A: SNR is defined relatieve to signal while PSNR is defined relative to peak dynamic range, i.e. 255 for an 8 bit image. SNR is badly defined for homogeneous images so for reconstruction evaluation often PSNR is preferred.

A: Consider you have an image of organ tissues. From the mathematical expression, the only difference between SNR and pSNR is the numerator part: the former selected the region of interest then calculate the mean value of the signal, representing the signal from the organ; while the latter one calculate the maximum value from the organ, and this usually refers to the boundary, since boundary signal is often strong due to the reflection. Both are very useful in quantifying your image contrast, but the pSNR is more useful when you are going to adjust the contrast in the region of interest, for example, there are more features inside the organ rather than boundary, but with a lower signal compared with the boundary signal. Please note that sometimes such adjustment is nonlinear operation, it may maintain the pSNR but increase the SNR.

One embodiment of the invention includes a method of hot adding a network adapter to an operational computer including a plurality of bus slots, comprising: executing a statically loaded adapter driver which accepts a request packet to initialize a network adapter adding a programmable network adapter, which is connected to a plurality of I/O devices, to one of the bus slots, executing a configuration manager which configures the configuration space of the programmable network and initializing the programmable network adapter so that I/O is communicated between the added programmable network adapter and the operational computer.
Another embodiment of the invention includes a method of hot adding a network adapter to an operational computer including a plurality of bus slots, comprising: executing a statically loaded adapter driver which accepts a request packet to initialize a new network adapter, adding a network adapter to one of the bus slots having a non-powered state, executing a configuration manager which configures the adapter space of the network adapter, enabling power to the bus slot and initiating communications between the computer and the new network adapter.
Yet another embodiment of the invention includes a method of hot adding a network adapter to an operational computer including at least one canister, wherein the canister contains one or more existing network adapters, comprising: executing a statically loaded network adapter driver which accepts a suspend and a restart packet suspending all communication to the existing network adapters on a selected one of the canisters, disabling power to the selected canister, while still maintaining power to the computer, adding a new network storage adapter to the canister, enabling power to the canister, restarting communications to the existing network adapters and initiating communications between the computer and the new network adapter.
FIG. 2 shows one embodiment of the bus structure of the fault tolerant computer system 100. A number 'n' of central processing units (CPUs) 200 are connected through a host bus 202 to a memory controller 204, which allows for access to memory by the other system components. In one embodiment, there are four CPUs 200, each being an Intel Pentium Pro microprocessor. However, many other general purpose or special purpose parts and circuits could be used. A number of bridges 206, 208 and 209 connect the host bus to, respectively, three high speed I/O bus systems 212, 214, and 216. The bus systems 212, 214 and 216, referred to as PC buses, may be any standards-based bus system such as PCI, ISA, EISA and Microchannel. In one embodiment of the invention, the bus system 212 is PCI. Alternative embodiments of the invention employ a proprietary bus. An ISA Bridge 218 is connected to the bus system 212 to support legacy devices such as a keyboard, one or more floppy disk drives and a mouse. A network of microcontrollers 225 is also interfaced to the ISA bus 226 to monitor and diagnose the environmental health of the fault tolerant system. A more detailed description of the microcontroller network 225 is contained in the U.S. patent application Ser. No. 08/942,402, "Diagnostic and Managing Distributed Processor System" to Johnson.
In the second architectural embodiment, the I/O platform can be any industry standard I/O board such as, for example, the 1Q80960RP Evaluation Board which is executing the Ix Works operating system by WindRiver Systems, Inc. In the second architectural embodiment, a hardware device module (HDM) or adapter driver executes on the motherboard. The HDM is designed to communicate via messages with any type of operating system executing on the computer. These messages correspond to primitives which allow hot add and hot swap of adapters plugged into the motherboard.
Starting in state 600, a user inserts an adapter 310 into one of the PC bus slots, such as the slot 241. At this point, the hot plug hardware 312 has not turned on the power to the adapter's slot, although the fault tolerant computer system 100 is operational. Since the adapter's slot is not powered and is physically isolated from any other devices which are attached to the bus 234, the adapter will not be damaged by a short circuit during the insertion process, and will not create problems for the normal operation of the fault tolerant computer system 100. Moving to state 602, the configuration manager 500 is notified that the adapter is now in the slot, and requests the hot plug hardware 312 to supply power to the adapter's slot. In one embodiment of the invention, the hot plug hardware automatically detects the presence of the newly added adapter 310 and informs the configuration manager 500. In another embodiment of the invention, the user notifies the hot plug hardware 312 that the adapter 310 is connected to one of the PC slots 241. The process by which a slot 241 and adapter 238 are powered on and attached to a shared bus 234 is described in the United States application Ser. No. 08/942,402, "Diagnostic and Managing Distributed Processor System"to Johnson.
Traditionally, an adapter's resources are allocated by the Basic Input Output Services (BIOS). The BIOS are service routines which are invoked during the fault tolerant computers system's 100 start up phase. The BIOS programs the I/O ports, or memory locations of each adapter on the fault tolerant computer system 100. However, since any newly added adapter was not present during the execution of the BIOS initialization routines, the configuration manager 500 must configure the new adapter in the same manner that another like adapter is programmed by the BIOS. The process by which the configuration space of an a newly added adapter 310 is configured is described in the United States application Ser. No. 08/941,268, "Configuration Management Method for Hot Adding and Hot Replacing Devices" to Mahalingam.
If the BAR has a value equal to IOPortO or IOPort1, the current configuration table describes the requested adapter and the process proceeds to state 922. The configuration manager 500 has at this point identified the logical board number of the adapter that the configuration manager 500 needs to shut down (state 922). The configuration manager 500 makes the NetWare Operating System call LSLGetMLIDControlEntry( ) to find an entry point into the adapter driver 308. As part of the system call, the configuration manager 500 passes the logical board number as a parameter. The LSLGetMLIDControlEntry( ) system call returns a pointer to the DriverControl( ) entry point for the requested board. The DriverControl( ) entry to the HSM provides a means to quiesce or remove an instance of the driver. At a decision state 924, the configuration manager 500 determines whether the user has requested a driver suspend or resume. If the user has requested driver suspend, the configuration manager 500 calls the DriverControl( ) entry point with the operation code '5' (shutdown) requesting a temporary shutdown. The MSM 504 does not remove the adapter driver 308 from the memory, but leaves it in place and preserves its current state. The HSM 508 receives this call and shuts down all communication to the adapter. Otherwise, if the user has requested a driver resume, the configuration manager 500 calls DriverControl( ) entry point with the operation code '6' (reset) state 928. The HSM 508 receives this call and resets the adapter 310. For both suspend and restart, the driver then proceeds to state 930 which returns a success message to the SNMP agent or NetWare user interface.
At state 1306, the adapter driver such as driver 308 sets an asynchronous I/O Request Packet (IRP) for rescanning. The I/O Request Packet is a data structure defined by the Windows NT Operating System. The adapter driver 308 allocates and registers an IRP with the Windows NT operating system. The rescan IRP contains a pointer to completion routine within the adapter driver 308. The adapter driver 308 sets the completion routine to a procedure which scans for and initializes an adapter 310. During a hot add of an adapter, the initialization routine is called by the configuration manager 1100 to configure the adapter state. Still at state 1306, the adapter driver 308 calls to the SCSI port 1104 to finish the adapter's initialization Next, the SCSI port 1104 searches the bus for an adapter 310 (decision state 1308). If the SCSI port 1104 finds an adapter 310, the SCSI port 1104 calls each driver's FindAdapter( ) routine (state 1312). In addition to performing the traditional functions of the FindAdapter( ) routine, FindAdapter( ) registers each found adapter 310 with the configuration manager 1100. The configuration manager 1100 then retrieves the configuration information of the adapter 310. The configuration manager 1100 saves the configuration information for each adapter 310 in a linked list of data. The configuration manager 1100 maintains this linked list of data in case an adapter 310 fails. Upon the failure of an adapter 310, the configuration manager 1100 reprograms a replacement adapter's configuration space.
Once the configuration space of the adapter 310 is initialized, the configuration manager 1100 completes the adapter initialization (state 1408). Although the configuration space of the adapter 310 is finished, the adapter driver 308 completes the initialization process by configuring any adapter specific requirements. For example, SCSI adapters often contain a microcontroller for controlling an SCSI bus. The adapter driver 308 initializes this microcontroller (state 1408). The process by which the configuration manager 1100 returns control to the adapter driver 308 is by calling the completion routine of the rescan IRP that the adapter driver 308 created during the adapter driver's initialization.
FIG. 15 is a flowchart illustrating one embodiment of the process by which the adapter driver such as the driver 308 finishes initializing a hotly added adapter such as the adapter 310. The configuration manager 1100 calls the adapter driver through the rescan completion routine that the adapter driver 308 created during its initialization (state 1508). The adapter driver 308 then calls the SCSI port's initialize routine, SCSIportInitalize( ). The SCSI port locates the new adapter 310 (state 1502). The SCSI port 1104 calls the FindAdapter( ) routine for each adapter driver 308 in the 1106 (state 1504). The adapter driver 308 then creates a new asynchronous rescan IRP for the next occurrence of a hot add of an adapter (state 1506).
FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing one embodiment of the process by which the FindAdapter( ) routine for an adapter handles a hot add request. FIG. 16 provides a more detailed explanation of the state 1504 shown in FIG. 15. Starting in state 1600, the FindAdapter( ) routine performs the traditional initialization functions that are associated with the routine. For example, in a Qlogic PCI SCSI adapter the FindAdapter( ) routine reads the configuration information, maps the I/O registers for the adapter, resets the microcontroller on the adapter, checks the SCSI ID, and initializes the virtual and physical queue addresses.
Moving to state 1602, the FindAdapter( ) routine performs some optional adapter diagnostics. If the adapter 310 performs the diagnostics and the adapter 310 finds an error, the FindAdapter( ) routine proceeds to state 1604. Otherwise, if no error was found, the FindAdapter( ) routine sends an IRP to the configuration manager 1100 creating a Device Instance for the newly hot added card (1606). The configuration manager 1100 sends an asynchronous device state IRP (state 1608). The configuration manager 1100 calls the completion routine of the device state IRP when the user has requested a hot swap.

Thats how run_rable looks:

Thats how Location_points looks:

A: First read about Sqlite
Then you should read about Content Providers
After you understood how to use sqlite with android, design your tables. I'm guessing that you will have a table with columns:
 id, userId, lat, lng, timeStamp.

Now you can easily get for each user where he was and when and calculate all the rest.
To give you a small hint of how to store ArrayList then use something like:
ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> ops
for (LatLng latLng : list) {
    ops.add(ContentProviderOperation.insert(Uri).withValue("userId", userId).withValue("lat", 32.3232)...build()
}

getActivity().getContentResolver().applyBatch("AUTHORITY", ops)

Michiana Masters III: Dick Lehman
by MMAA Staff | May 21, 2021 | Past Exhibitions, Past Exhibits | 0 comments
The Midwest Museum of American Art is pleased to present a new spotlight exhibit, Michiana Master's Series featuring the artwork of Dick Lehman. This Goshen-based ceramic artist, and potter, has received international recognition for his unique and experimental work, as well as his production ware over the past 40 years.
Experimentation is central to his work. The magic and mystery of which has become a distinguishable trait of his ceramics. However, Lehman admits that "a closer look will reveal that all my work over the years has had Japanese ceramics as a base from which to move forward…and shares at least a remote reference to, or inspiration from Japanese ceramics and art."
This exhibit features over 50 stunning examples of his work. The majority of which were created this year and modeled after a Japanese glazing technique called Oni. According to the artist, Oni in Japanese translates to "devil, demon, rustic, extra, excessive, and over the top." Lehman uses this Japanese term to describe his approach to glazing, sometimes adding as many as ten layers of different glazes to a single pot before being fired. When fired this, complex layering produces an effect where the glazes move, flow, peel, fold, and slide. This process results in the creation of a unique one-of-a-kind piece that is visually exciting. Also featured in this exhibit are raku and wood-fired ceramics, all of which will be on display through July 25.
Lehman is an outstanding award-winning artist in the Elkhart Juried Regional. Throughout the 42-year history of this event, Lehman has received 15 purchase awards during his 31 years of participation.
The Michiana Master's Series seeks to acknowledge those individuals who have accomplished high honors in their field. Using the Elkhart Juried Regional as a starting point, the Michiana Master's Series will annually feature standout, award-winning artists who have consistently proven themselves and their work to be of high caliber.
Admission to the Midwest Museum of American Art is $10 per adult visitor, $6 ages 8-12, $8 ages 13-18, $8 for college students with ID. The Midwest Museum of American Art is open Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. & Saturday and Sunday, 1 p.m. – 4 p.m.

The Los Gurkos Short Film Festival is an Austrian film festival. It was created in 2005 and takes place every year in Innsbruck, Austria. The main focus of the festival is on the short film competition, which provides a possibility for local and international filmmakers to present their craft. At the same time, the festival promotes the genre of the short in Innsbruck and Tyrol. The Los Gurkos Short Film Festival regularly works together with the International Film Festival Innsbruck and the Rejected Film Festival.

The Los Gurkos Short Film Festival is an open festival and does therefore not require entries to comply with a certain theme, but only with the technical guidelines. On November 9, 2013, the festival will take place for the ninth time at the PMK in Innsbruck. After the approximately ten best entries have been shown, an expert panel chooses the three winning shorts. The festival award has symbolic value: the Golden Cucumber (after dice in 2010, cucumber plants in 2011 and graffiti in 2012).

For this major car manufacturer, communicating internal and confidential marketing initiatives to their hundreds of dealers around the country was deemed as vital to driving strategies. The client looked to our organization to provide a secure web-based and mobile-optimized solution.
Our team worked closely with their project managers and engineers in translation of the client's business requirements into specific system, application and process designs. Identifying functional requirements and subsequently leading the process in the identification and design of the solution, while staying within the budget and on schedule, was paramount to meeting client expectations. Building a long-term partnership with the client was the ultimate goal.
A highly secure and private extranet solution was architected that served as the communication gateway between the corporate office and the dealers. The web-based Single-Sign-On (SSO) platform allowed for each dealer to be authenticated prior to accessing the proprietary marketing content available only to internal audiences.
Improvement in real-time communication and operability were observed immediately. The high-speed and highly-reliable Single-Sign-On environment brought speed of access to the appropriate audiences. Cost savings in travel expenses and conference-event expenses came as a result. The client benefited from improvements in operational efficiencies as the marketing teams and dealers were now able to focus more time on executing their strategies.

Q: C what happens putting int* as parameter where parameter type is int**? What happens when I put a pointer int* as parameter where the parameter type is a pointer of pointers int**?
int main(..) {
    int* local_arr = malloc( 10 * sizeof(int) );
    func(local_arr)
}

void func(int** par) {...}

A: Passing an int * parameter for an int ** argument without an explicit cast is a constraint violation in C. C language does not support implicit conversion of int * value to int ** type. Your program is not a valid C program and the compiler is required to tell you about it through diagnostic messages.
In other words, this is what is colloquially referred to as "compile error" in C. Your program is "non-compilable".
Even if some non-pedantic C compiler agrees to compile this program, this is not a C program and behavior of your code is not defined by C language.

A: First of all, you will  atleast get a warning about it.
But as function would be written keeping int ** parameter in mind, so there may be a case where you dereference it two times which would be a problem if you pass int *, thus, causing undefined behaviour.
Also, type mismatch would happen in function body in such case.

A: Nothing happens (except warnings) if the sizeof(int) equals to sizeof(int*), the error happening when you want to deference int** argument with **, if you deference it with single * nothing wrong will happen, however it isn't good practice.
void funct(int ** arg){
    printf("%i", (int) *arg);
}

int i = 5;
funct((int **) &arg); // will print 5

Also be aware, it's ABI dependent and may not work everywhere

The fallout from this Giants reality check will extend to 2021
Joe Judge defends his costly fourth down decisions
The 'simple' decision Giants don't regret
Joe Judge's bold Giants calls tells us all we need to know
Giants report card: This is getting ridiculous
It's the scoring, stupid.
You can love, hate or feel ambivalent about Joe Judge all but saying, "Field goals? We don't need your stinkin' field goals'' (check out "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and thank us later). You can look at the fake field goal abomination on the first series of the Giants' Week 15 loss to the Browns and think, "Hmm, maybe the guys who get paid to throw the football should, you know, actually throw the football." There is much to discuss and pore over with the Giants, but there is one loud-and-clear, shouting-at-the-top-of-your-lungs reason why this team is likely not going to touch down in first place again this season in the eminently winnable NFC East.
They do not score enough damn points.
It is almost a weekly failure. Sometimes they can control the football environment enough to at least possess the ball for minutes and allow their improved defense to limit the damage. If the Giants need to outscore anyone, it is Mission: Impossible, without the screaming Tom Cruise tirades. They got seven measly points last week with hobbled Daniel Jones in at quarterback and six measly points Sunday night with backup Colt McCoy directing the offensive traffic. Think standstill when considering what sort of traffic the Giants are ensnared in here.
In the last four games, the Giants have cobbled together 19, 17, seven and six points, respectively, and that is not NFL-caliber production. Not even close. That they won two of those games is lipstick on a pig. Managing the game and keeping things low-scoring and tight works, but only for a short time. It is not sustainable for a half-season, much less an entire season. There has to be a major evaluation of whom the Giants have and what they are doing on offense because what they have now and what they are doing now is mainly responsible for the 5-9 record.
Three times this season, the Giants could not score a touchdown in a game. The 13 combined points in home games played in consecutive weeks is the fewest from the Giants in more than 44 years. The 1976 Giants were shut out in back-to-back October home games. They were 3-11 that season. These Giants are not much better, record-wise.
Everything must be on the table. Jones, even when healthy, does not get his team in the end zone often enough. His eight touchdown passes this season should be a misprint. The bar for him cannot be "avoid making mistakes."
The entire package installed by offensive coordinator Jason Garrett must be studied to see if it is up to par with the more trendy systems around the league. The offensive line still needs some shaping. Saquon Barkley will be back and he should be a difference-maker, but will he be better than ever? Everyone who gets his hands on the ball must be put under the microscope. There is a glaring need for more speed and a bigger, more physical wide receiver who can run.
The metrics say the targets do not get open often enough. Sterling Shepard caught four passes for 51 yards in the 20-6 loss, and afterward said what he thinks of those who lean on the metrics.
"I don't know where people are getting that from, to be honest," Shepard said. "Is that what you're saying? That we're getting, what, two yards of separation? In the NFL, that's open. I don't know what the analytics say, but you can go off that if you want to. I know what I see on film, and for those of them who think that way, go look at the film."
Nothing on the film can distract from what shows up on the scoreboard. Not enough points means not enough winning.
More that came out of the Giants' flop on Sunday Night Football:
— Patrick Graham might be running out of smoke and mirrors when devising ways to mount a pass rush. The Giants' depleted depth at outside linebacker was glaring in this game. Carter Coughlin played 28 of the 64 defensive snaps — he had to leave for a while to get a dislocated finger put back in place — and could not put any pressure on the pocket. David Mayo, normally an inside linebacker, played 25 snaps, often lining up at an outside linebacker spot. This is not going to cut it. The loss to injury of Lorenzo Carter, Kyler Fackrell and Oshane Ximines and the trading away of Markus Golden is too much for this group to overcome. The Giants had one sack of Baker Mayfield — by defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence — and that sack was the only time the Giants put a hit on Mayfield.
— Sometimes you simply have to distribute credit. Clearly, the Giants defense went in focusing heavily on stopping the punishing rushing attack of Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and they were successful, limiting Chubb to 3.3 yards per attempt and Hunt to 3.0 yards per attempt. The strategy was to force Mayfield to make decisions on the run in the pocket as the Giants can confuse quarterbacks by disguising their coverage. This backfired in a big way. Without James Bradberry (unavailable as a COVID-19 high-risk close contact), the zone on the back end was played too softly, and Mayfield picked the defense apart. It was interesting to hear veteran safety Logan Ryan admit that Mayfield was better than anticipated. "If we didn't have respect for him before, we definitely have it now," Ryan said.
— Ever since Week 2, rookie Matt Peart has been a fixture on the offensive line, rotated in at right tackle for two or three series per games in place of veteran Cam Fleming. Something changed Sunday night. Fleming played all 54 offensive snaps. Peart never got on the field. Were the Giants concerned Peart could not handle Olivier Vernon? Peart has gone against several top-notch pass rushers, so this probably was not a situational maneuver.
— With Bradberry unavailable, rookie Xavier McKinney played a season-high 41 of the 64 snaps on defense. McKinney was used as the slot corner with Julian Love moving from free safety to fill Bradberry's outside cornerback spot. McKinney was the highest-graded Giants player on defense, according to Pro Football Focus.
— Rookie left tackle Andrew Thomas played all 54 snaps on offense – this has become the norm, no more rotating for him – and did a fine job on Myles Garrett, limiting the star Browns defensive end to half a sack. The sack came on Thomas' 53rd snap. It was an important measuring stick for Thomas as he closes out his first NFL season: Dealing with someone as powerful and skilled as Garrett is and not getting dominated is a step forward for Thomas, even if Garrett is not feeling 100 percent. This was Garrett's third game back after missing two games following a positive COVID-19 test. He spoke after the game about how he continues to deal with the effects of the coronavirus, and his words should be a warning to those who downplay the toll of this infection on young, vibrant athletes.
"It's bound to affect your lungs," Garrett said. "It is hard to make a move or do something that you know is going to expend a lot of energy, knowing that you have to do it again the next play and the next play. It kind of throws off what I am doing."
Garrett was out of breath after the game when he went on a Zoom interview.
"I am just getting over a coughing fit from the locker room earlier," he said. "I am trying to get some water into my system and be able to breathe. Taking those deep big breaths are tough right now with the shortness of breath and that turning into a cough or getting choked up. You just have to find a way. It is about desire. It does not matter how I feel. I have to do something on the field. When I get off of the field, I can catch my breath and maybe go see someone and try to work with someone. Hopefully, if we make it to the playoffs, I can try to get myself to as close to 100 percent as possible."

Atari 2600...it was the first of its kind. Played, what I thought were great games and everyone had one. I'm sure I didn't get it at launch though.
Sega Genesis...I think maybe I liked Sonic.
Sega Genesis CD...just an extension, I believe, but played movie-type games. Thought it was pretty cool.
Sega Dreamcast...I guess by now, I was a Sega guy and stuck with it. Liked the Dreamcast a lot.
NES...I guess this was the new, best thing and I wanted it. Sega was shitting bed or something. Great system, but remember after a long while dealing with cartridge issues and blowing in them or something. Some great games from my childhood were brought back. Loved Bionic Commando.
SNES...I think I had this and returned it for some reason. Played the Super Star Wars or something, liked that, but again, for one reason or another, returned or sold system.
N64...I guess I was Nintendo guy by now and this brought new 3D models and stuff. It was cool, but don't remember it that well.
GameCube...well from the box design, to everything and again Nintendo, I thought this looked cool. Played and finished some great games. Especially Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Viewtiful Joe (really wanted to finish that one and then get sequel), others and especially Resident Evil 4. My absolute favorite game ever.
PS2...had this for like a minute. Played one of the Grand Theft Auto games, liked it. Hated no wireless controller. Bought an extension and cut holes in my carpet to not have wire showing. It worked, but something in me knew it was off. Sold system and all games, for decent price actually on eBay. Thus went to GameCube.
Xbox 360...just didn't like where Nintendo was going and didn't like idea or execution of Wii, so I went to Microsoft and never looked back. Played my first FPS (Halo), loved it and that was that.
Xbox One...I'm Xbox guy now. I like mostly only FPS games and others and this delivers for me consistently. Also, surprises me in games they remaster and whatnot. Love can digital download and it's just easy to use.
Re: Why did you buy all the systems you did?
Because I'm a gamer and will eventually buy every system to play every game I can.
NES-At the time saying you were playing Nintendo was synonymous with playing video games. There was no other system. I wasn't even aware of any other systems until a little later.
Sega Genesis-I wanted the next level, I had already been a fan of the Genesis and TG-16. SNES just came on the scene, but Genesis looked like the cooler and more adult system. Mortal Kombat and Sonic were big factors.
Gameboy-wanted a portable gaming system and this was the main one with the biggest game library.
32X-I didn't want to jump into the 32 bit realm because the price tag seemed so expensive even though my parents were still buying me these things. I felt like the 32X would extend the life of my Genesis. I thought it was a cheat to get arcade-like games at a fraction of the cost.
Sega Dreamcast-Being a Sega fan I was happy that Sega was back in the game with a solid system. I knew the PS2 was coming out but I didn't care. Shenmue and the exclusive RE: Code Veronica had me. The system and the VMUs were beautiful too. No regrets about this system even though it didn't last that long.
PS2-Sega was gone and the XBOX was ugly. I wanted to play Onimusha as well as the Capcom fighters. I only bought Onimusha 1 & 2, and Capcom vs SNK. Rented a bunch of games like Devil May Care and Castelvania and was very disappointed. Metal Gear was awesome but I no longer had the time to invest in playing these games.
Because I'm a gamer - both board and video games. I'm almost always up for a game.
Pong - 4 player system. It was *pong* on your *TV* for crying out loud!
Atari 800 - Plays great games, full color built-in, sprites (overlapping, moving images/items), games come on cartridge, tape, and disk, good audio built-in, and you can program on it.
Atari XE-GS - When my son asked for a NES I got him a Atari XE-GS instead as it was superior, but it didn't play the games he wanted to play and he wasn't interested in its computing ability.
NES - Under pressure from my wife he got the NES the next Christmas. Of course I had to purchase games only I was interested in playing as it was connected to my TV.
SNES - He later asked for a SNES so I got him one of those. Yep... I bought games for myself for that one too. Why not?
My personal next "gaming" system was a Intel based PC - Atari went down the crapper as a computer company leaving me with little choice but it's proven to be a good one.
Nintendo Wii - We were at a cousin's house with the grandkids and they were playing "Guitar Hero" on a Wii. My grandson (then 5) though it was the best thing ever. I amazed everyone by picking up the controller and kicking everyone's collective asses playing the "game" even though I'd never seen, or played, one before. (I'm a gamer *and* a musician - it's a easy "game" even on the harder difficulty settings) My wife insists we get one for the grandkids to play at our house. I resist for a few months but finally cave.
X-Box 360 - My grandson (now 13) got a X-Box One to replace his 360 and brought the 360 to my house for us to play games.
PS4 -- Bought exclusively to play MLB The Show, my youngest son's most played video game, but I quickly got hooked on the Uncharted series and now split about 50/50 between this and the Xbone. I imagine being that now being able to add an external HD might push the PS4 to the forefront.
Sega Genesis: Liked the SMS so this was the next step up.
Sega Saturn: Was all in for Sega at this point. Panzer Dragoon!
Sega Dreamcast: Still my favorite console. Gone way too soon!
Xbox: Seemed like a cool console and Halo drew me right in.
PS2: Picked this up to catch up on all the games I missed over the years.
Xbox 360: Xbox was great, how could I go wrong...oh yeah RROD.
PS3: Abandoned Microsoft after 3 RROD and never looked back.
Wii: Picked this up on a whim on release day.
Xbox One: Guess I looked back. Picked it up for $249 with a bunch of extras over Christmas to play exclusives.
Switch: Impulse buy at Target. Breath of the Wild is fantastic!
I didn't have any gaming systems growing up. Some games on the home Mac computer, but very little.
PS1 - My roommate first year of college had one. When he graduated, he sold it to me with a bunch of games for cheap.
PS2 - Could play the PS1 games, and I was familiar with the controller.
PS3 - Could play PS2 games, and I didn't like much about the Xbox systems at the time.
PS4 - Didn't see any point in changing. Exclusives for the Xbox don't interest me, PS+ was giving me games for both systems.
NES - I begged my parents, grandparents, and any relative I could for this.
Genesis - Oddly, I wanted the super, was excited about Super Mario World, and F-Zero, and then...SONIC, so I got this for Xmas that year.
SNES - I got into RPG's hard during the 16 bit era, and after the limited amount of Genesis ones, I pawned my Genesis, and used the money to buy my friends SNES, and immediately started getting JRPG's.
N64, Xmas the year it came out, I got this from family with the 3 launch titles.
I then skipped a generation.
Wii - I got a 250 Best Buy Gift card from my Mom and bought one.
X360 - I wanted Mass Effect, it sounded awesome, I got it.
DS - My daughter's broke, we got her a new one, ran to Nintendo in Redmond,and they swapped it out, and got all the RPG's I could for it.
Wii U, I wanted it, and Nintendo had them cheap refurbished.
Xbox One - Microsoft had them cheap refurbished.
Dreamcast - started collecting Vintage consoles, got this one again, along with a a refurb SNES and a refurb Genesis from my wife.
PS4 - We just got my son a PS4 for his birthday, he is still addicted to Minecraft on Xbox One, and hasn't gotten into it yet.
I've bought every system I didn't think was garbage since SNES, which when I bought I realized a new system doesn't cost that much more than a game and it's more exciting to buy a new system than 2 games. I didn't buy the 32X, Atari Jaguar, Virtual Boy, Saturn, and Wii U because they all had <=1 game I really wanted to play.
Answer to all the consoles i've bought have been simply... there are games on the system that I want to play.
Pong - Because the idea of playing a game on your TV was mind-blowing.
Atari 2600 - A Christmas gift because Pac-man fever!
Intellivision - Was on sale and seemed like the next big thing. Kept going back to the Atari.
Commodore 64 - My first computer that changed everything. I could now "hack" games and change stuff like character colors, walls, etc. Super fun.
MS-DOS PC - Because I needed a productivity computer...but I could still play Zork!
Windows 3.1/95/98/ME/XP/7 PC - Because I needed to upgrade and everyone said Windows was where it was at. Introduced me to MMORPG gaming and FP shooters. I was hooked and custom-built every one of them myself.
Sega Genesis - Latecomer, found it cheap and could play Soul Calibur and Crazy Taxi--two games not on the PC.
Nintendo Gamecube - Latecomer, found it cheap and--holy cow--the whole family could use this. Super Smash Bros and Mario Racing FTW!
XBox 360 - Bought it because gaming with a mouse was giving me carpel tunnel...ended up buying three of these just so the whole family could play Destiny together.
Mac - Because I finally had it with Windows 8. Switched over my entire household. Use it for one game: Rocksmith.
iPads/iPhone - Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes and Plants vs Zombies. 'Nuff said.
XBox One - Bought mainly because of Destiny and Tomb Raider. Once Backward Compatibility was announced, this was the only way to go.

Over the years I've purchased NES, SNES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, N64, Genesis, Turbo Grafix 16, 3D0, Gamecube, Wii, Wii-U, Switch, Playstation, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Playstation 4, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox 360 Slim Gears of War 3 edition, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, New Nintendo 3DS XL... not sure if I'm leaving something out.
Basically, I started with the NES because the games were incredible compared to what came before it. Zelda, Mario, Contra... it was awesome. SNES was the next big thing and Super Mario World seemed like such a major improvement and refinement over what the NES brought to the table. From there it was just me being a gaming fan for life, and I wanted it all.
Unfortunately I traded away most of it over the years like many do when they want to upgrade, but I've spent the last couple of years re-buying old consoles and the games I love for them. Have a 27" CRT right next to my computer desk for the sole purpose of old school gaming.
Remember Coleco Vision system? I used to love that one. Wasn't that first sign of Donkey Kong?
