Q: Getting the Arduino ADK DemoKit example to work on a 3.1 Toshiba Thrive (AT-100) I've been having some trouble getting my Arduino ADK to work with my Toshiba Thrive (or AT-100 in EU). It's running 3.1, but I'm aware in the US there has been an update recently to 3.2. Unfortunately the 3.2 update isn't available in the EU yet. I'm wondering if there is anyone who has successfully got this working on 3.1 or 3.2?
So here's the deal. I've used the API level 12 libraries to suit the 3.1 build, but had to manually edit the AndroidManinfest.xml file so the minSDKversion and the targetSDKversion both read 12, as was mentioned by John regarding the Samsung Galaxy Tab problems.
However, unlike john's issues, I've been able to get the DemoKit app to compile and install fine, except for 8 warnings regarding the color wheel LED controller values not being used.
The screen even loads up on the Toshiba asking me to attach the ADK, but when I do it does nothing. I've tried resetting and unplugging and re-uploading the firmware to the ADK board.
Like John, I've also tried changing the Accessory API's from com.android.future.usb to android.hardware.usb along with the manifest file, but now it doesn't even install, giving the error message INSTALL_FAILED_MISSING_SHARED_LIBRARY, with Logcat saying W/dalvikvm(18874): Refusing to reopen boot DEX 'system/framework/pm.jar
I feel like I'm so close but there is just one small thing wrong. Can anyone shed any light on this?

A: There possibly is an answer here:
http://www.thriveforums.org/forum/toshiba-thrive-development/5410-arduino-adk-demokit-application-3-1-thrive-100-a.html#post58900
Havent tried it out myself though - will do it if i don't find any other option.


Q: How would you describe the statement of the bishops who met in New Orleans?
A: I think it's a miracle when you look at what a broad piece of common ground we are standing on with this document. Then you look at the bishops who are in the room, all but one of whom, a very liberal bishop, voted for it. And it was the full range of liberal to conservative, all kinds of different faith and practice. That we could craft such a broad piece of ground to stand on, I think it's a really wonderful thing. I think the prediction was that this would be like Katrina II. You know, some horrible storm that would tear the Episcopal Church apart. And what actually happened was that the vast majority of the bishops of all persuasions came together for this common statement. It's really, really a miracle.
Q: Where does it leave gay and lesbian members of the church?
A: I think it leaves us pretty much where we were. That is to say we're somewhere between being totally excluded, this was the case in the past, and we're not quite towards full inclusion yet. The Episcopal Church has made enormous progress here, and yet we are a part of a broader Anglican Communion. And although we would like it all to have happened yesterday, that's not the way the church works. I would say it's not the way any group works. We are undergoing vast change at a pretty good pace. Would I have liked to have gone further faster? Absolutely, but there are also people who would have liked it to go much slower, and that's what being a church is about. It's about finding that middle ground, something that we can all live with for this moment. Then we see where the future takes us.
Q: Where does it leave the diocese of Chicago if Tracey Lind, an openly lesbian priest, is elected bishop?
A: We have a resolution of the General Convention that says we should exercise restraint, and we don't really know where that will take us, and we won't know until there is another bishop-elect who is gay or lesbian, and then we'll see how that happens. I think we're all exercising restraint in a sense that we know this is an important issue. We know it's a controversial issue, and only time will tell how that will go either with bishops or with standing committees. And remember in our church it's not just bishops who decide, but clergy and laity as well as the bishop.
Q: What did you learn at this meeting about the feelings of the rest of the world?
A: I think the international visitors underscored for me what we've known, but hearing it coming from their lips is even more powerful. Their contexts are so different from ours. It should not surprise us, but perhaps we're naive when we forget that in many countries of the world if you're known to be gay you can be imprisoned. There's just rampant discrimination. In a context like that, to ever have a chance to sit in the room with a faithful, committed Christian person who also happens to be gay or lesbian — it's just not something that happens. So to hear from their lips how their contexts are different from ours, I think it always helps to have that personal contact. It was just as important for them to experience how very different our context is. So I think there was learning on both sides. That's really why we treasure the Anglican Communion so much is that if we hold together there is so much to be learned from one another.
Q: We understand there were some pretty frank exchanges. What did you say to the Archbishop of Canterbury?
A: I was frank with the Archbishop of Canterbury, at his invitation. I began my remarks to him by saying, "Your grace, you know that I respect you and your office. I always have. I always will. But some of what you had to say to us was disturbing." And I understood him to be saying that we had to choose between fidelity to our gay and lesbian members and fidelity to the process of what he called "common discernment." I said that as a gay man choosing a process over human beings felt dehumanizing to me. Perhaps there were people who were shocked that I said that, but after all I am the only openly gay voice in that room. I did feel that way. I know that other gay and lesbian people, had they been in the room, felt that way. I owed it to him out of my respect for him and his office to say to him what he came to hear, which was our responses to him. So he invited us to respond. I was not the only one who responded, nor was I the only one who responded in a frank manner.
Q: What about your attendance next year at the Lambeth Conference?
A: Actually, the thing I most hoped for happened during this week related to my participation in Lambeth, which is that it would be taken out of being a solitary decision between the Archbishop of Canterbury and me of New Hampshire. It would actually be owned by the House of Bishops. Part of the response that we made was to say that this whole house hopes for the full participation of the bishop of New Hampshire. I'm very pleased by that. There was hardly any debate over that at all, that the people of the House see my inclusion in Lambeth. That's a really important thing for the American church.
Q: Several of the most conservative bishops weren't here for that part of the meeting.
A: It's important to remember that the bishops who left right after the archbishop left have not attended our meetings in years, have not lodged with us, eaten with us, or worshiped with us. So this was nothing new. The only thing new was that they actually showed up. They had announced very early on that they were not staying. That grieves me, but I cannot make someone stay at the table. I think the important thing here is that the vast majority, liberal to conservative, all stayed. We hung in there with each other. We spoke our minds. We disagreed about things. Then we found a place that we could stand together. That's amazing.
Q: What message do you hope this sends to the wider world?
A: What I hope it says to the American church and the Anglican Communion is that we dearly love each other and we dearly love this church. Although there are many things we disagree about we intend to hang together. We treasure our partners in the Anglican Communion. We hope they treasure us. If we just keep holding on to one another while we fight some of these things out, it's going to be okay. So the result I'm hoping for is a kind of lowering of the anxiety and discomfort, just to say it's in Christ that we find out unity, not in our agreement. If we just hang in there with one another long enough, the spirit of God will hold us together.
I think the message for gay and lesbian Episcopalians is that the Episcopal Church is not going back; that our movement towards greater and greater inclusion of gay and lesbian people in the life and leadership of our church is continuing forward. It may not be going as fast as we would like, but its there. It is heartfelt. Even, it's interesting, even some of the conservatives today in our closed session said we know where this is going. We know how this is going to turn out. Even they see it. I think they are just arguing pastorally that it needs to be at a pace that their people can absorb. So I don't think there's been any change in where we're going. We're only talking about how long it takes us to get there.
Q: And finally your thoughts on the involvement of foreign bishops in some U.S. dioceses?
One of the great surprises, to me, of this meeting was to hear of the sheer number of dioceses that have had incursions by bishops from foreign jurisdictions — archbishops, bishops, clergy coming from other international churches really with the purpose of undermining the Episcopal Church. I knew it was happening. I read about it like everyone else does. I am blessed not to have that happening in my diocese. But I was stunned at the number of dioceses in which this is happening. I don't think the members of the Anglican Communion realize what an assault on our church this is. No one seems to be remembering that the Windsor Report, which everyone thinks called only us to task, actually called for that kind of incursion to end. There are no efforts that I know of in the Anglican Communion to stop those incursions from happening. That, too, is a part of the Windsor Report. The Americans would be happy to see some support from the Anglican Communion for stopping those incursions.

Q: Is there a transpose function in Elixir? Hi I look for a transpose function in Elixir.
For example I have this kind of array a and after calling a function the result should be b:
a = [[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
b = transpose(a)
b => [[1, 3, 5], [2, 4, 6]]

A: There (still) isn't one in Elixir, but you can use:
def transpose(rows) do
  rows
  |> List.zip
  |> Enum.map(&Tuple.to_list/1)
end

A: There isn't one in Elixir currently, but you could create your own with:
def transpose([]), do: []
def transpose([[]|_]), do: []
def transpose(a) do
  [Enum.map(a, &hd/1) | transpose(Enum.map(a, &tl/1))]
end

A: Since Elixir v1.12, you can use the following to transpose a two-dimensional list:
Enum.zip_with(list, & &1)

A: Here's a slightly different solution:
def transpose(m) where length(m) <2, do: m
def transpose(m) do
  for i <- 0..length(m)-1 do
    Enum.reduce(m,[], fn x,acc -> acc ++ [Enum.at(x,i)] end)
  end
end

where m is your matrix.

Q: Can I allow users to disable Twitter Bootstrap Responsivness So I have a site built with twitter bootstrap 3. Everything works great and looks good on mobile/tablet as well. What I would like to do is add a link in the footer to allow user to view full site and not the mobile responsive version if they would like.
I know I can change viewpot to force the full site in mobile but I would like to have it default to responsive and should the user choose to want full site they click a link which would disable to responsive features.
I looked around and surprisingly haven't seen much documentation for this which I would think would be pretty popular as most sites have this functionality these days.  Thanks in advance

A: You'd probably have to serve two different versions of Bootstrap, one default and one with a modified variables.less
Have a look at this part of the file:
// Point at which the navbar becomes uncollapsed
@grid-float-breakpoint:     @screen-sm-min;
// Point at which the navbar begins collapsing
@grid-float-breakpoint-max: (@grid-float-breakpoint - 1);

You could change it to something like this to never show the mobile menu
// Point at which the navbar becomes uncollapsed
@grid-float-breakpoint:     0%;
// Point at which the navbar begins collapsing
@grid-float-breakpoint-max: 0%;

Call the compiled CSS file maybe bootstrap-desktop.css and then serve this CSS file instead of default if the user visits the desktop site

A: The easiest way is to toggle the viewport meta tag.
By default have the tag in place.
When they choose desktop mode, add something to the URL or set a cookie to not output the meta tag.

This week in politics: rail strike averted, Georgia candidates gear up for runoff election day
Savannah Kuchar, USA TODAY
The week after the Thanksgiving holiday, Congress was back in action to pass legislation preventing what could have been an economically devastating freight rail strike. Also in the Senate, the Respect for Marriage Act passed with bipartisan support, advancing a bill to protect same-sex marriage rights.
Down south, candidates in the runoff race for Georgia's Senate seat campaigned through the state's early voting period and ahead of the special Election Day this Tuesday. Prominent party figures on both sides turned out on behalf of both Republican Herschel Walker and Democrat Raphael Warnock, who were forced into a runoff against each other after neither candidate received at least 50% of the vote on Nov. 8.

Democratic primary updates: Democrats move toward approving Biden's overhaul giving South Carolina top slot
Here's what happened this week in politics:
Lead up to Georgia's Runoff Election Day
In the Georgia runoff race between Democrat Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker, early voting kicked off last weekend and ran through Friday. Both Walker and Warnock have been busy campaigning across the peach state, since neither Senate candidate earned the necessary 50% of the vote in November. Ahead of their special Election Day this Tuesday, popular figures from both parties have been stumping for the Georgia candidates, including former president Barack Obama who spoke at an Atlanta rally Thursday. Gov. Brian Kemp, who won his own race for reelection last month, campaigned for fellow Republican Walker.
More: Super PACs spending $16M more on Raphael Warnock than Herschel Walker in Georgia runoff
Why it matters: Georgia's runoff will determine if Senate is split 50-50 or 51-49
This race in Georgia will not impact the Senate majority, which was already set for Democrats with Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto's victory in Nevada last month. However, the outcome could offer an advantage to Democrats especially, as a 51-49 majority could mean additional committee seats and less worry for Biden that Democratic centrists Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin of West Virginia could hinder his progressive priorities.
Biden urges Congress to stop rail strike
Biden and Congress prevent potentially crippling rail strike
President Joe Biden signed legislation Friday morning to avert a massive rail strike, which he said would have had the potential to cripple the national economy. The legislation, which the House passed Wednesday and the Senate on Thursday, reached a tentative agreement between unions and freight operators. It offers rail workers a 24% pay increase over five years, $5,000 bonuses, voluntary assigned days off and one paid sick day off. A House-approved amendment for additional paid sick leave, something workers and unions wanted out of the agreement, failed to earn enough votes to pass in the Senate.
Senate advanced the Respect for Marriage Act
The Senate passed a bill Tuesday afternoon to enshrine same-sex marriage rights with bipartisan support in a 61 to 36 vote. The Respect for Marriage Act, which requires the federal government to recognize all marriages from a state where the union was legal, will go back to the House for approval Tuesday, according to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. The legislation comes in response to the overturning of Roe v. Wade this summer, when Justice Clarence Thomas raised the specter that earlier high court rulings protecting same-sex and interracial marriage rights could be reversed as well.
Protesters hold up blank papers and chant slogans as they march in protest in Beijing, Sunday, Nov. 27, 2022. Protesters angered by strict anti-virus measures called for China's powerful leader to resign, an unprecedented rebuke as authorities in at least eight cities struggled to suppress demonstrations Sunday that represent a rare direct challenge to the ruling Communist Party.
"Zero-COVID" protests in China
Unprecedented demonstrations arose in cities across the country challenging the Chinese government's "zero-COVID" regulations and calling for the resignation of President Xi Jinping. The protests followed an apartment fire in the northwest region that killed 10, during which the country's strict pandemic rules reportedly hindered emergency personnel's response. Demonstrations against the rigid quarantine measures, travel restrictions and other COVID-19 policies, which have been in place for almost three years now, continue in a country where civil unrest is extremely rare and dangerous.

Seaboard Wine Warehouse was founded in 1996 at Seaboard Station, and was one of the original tenants in the historic Downtown Raleigh development. Seaboard Wine Warehouse is the largest and longest running independent wine shop in Raleigh, NC. Through foreclosure proceedings, new ownership, and failed redevelopment, the Seaboard Station development is in a state of flux. With an upcoming lease expiration, Seaboard Wine Warehouse engaged RCR to assist.
RCR worked closely with Seaboard Wine Warehouse to analyze the market, and develop a strategy and plan to secure the future success of the long-term business. With a changing and uncertain dynamic at the Seaboard Station development and deficiencies within their existing building, the end result of the process was to seek a new location that fits the long-term needs, food-print, and demographics for Seaboard Wine, without losing its current customer base. Following a thorough evaluation, Seaboard Wine decided to relocate to HighPark Village on Whitaker Mill Rd, near Five Points in Raleigh, NC. This decision allows Seaboard Wine to continue their long and fruitful legacy in Raleigh, maintain their customer base, and open the door to new customers and new opportunities and offerings. RCR was privileged to assist and advise Seaboard Wine Warehouse and help deliver a successful result.

Blue Jays' Morales ties club record, homers in six straight games

Kendrys Morales is giving fans of the Toronto Blue Jays something to cheer about in the late stages of a forgettable season.
The 35-year old slugger smashed a home run for the sixth-straight game on Saturday afternoon, tying José Cruz Jr. for the record of most consecutive games with a blast. Cruz had been the lone holder of the record 2001.
Mo is mashing his way into the record books! 💪

Simply put, Morales has been an absolute nightmare for pitchers. Entering Saturday's matinee, he had a batting average of .500 to go along with six home runs over the past five games.
The 11-year pro has now tied Matt Carpenter of the St. Louis Cardinals for the most consecutive games while going yard this season.

The six-game run the Blue Jays' DH is currently on is close to the MLB record of eight-straight games. The only three players in Major League history to accomplish the feat are Ken Griffey Jr. with the Seattle Mariners, Don Mattingly with the New York Yankees, and Dale Long with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
The home run, Morales' 20th of the season, marks the fourth straight campaign that the switch-hitter has recorded 20 or more round trippers.

Dominic Raab maskless at Chelsea match despite club urging their use
31/12/2021 Comments Off on Dominic Raab maskless at Chelsea match despite club urging their use
Dominic Raab is spotted without a mask at Chelsea football match despite club urging fans to wear face coverings while seated in the stadium
Deputy Prime Minister, 47, was at match on Wednesday with 40,000 fans
Chelsea had recommended supporters wear them while seated at stadium
Mr Raab's spokesman said he had 'followed the rules at all times'
Government guidance does not say they have to be worn in outdoor stadiums
The Deputy Prime Minister has been spotted without a coronavirus facemask at a Chelsea football match attended by 40,000 people despite the club recommending supporters wear them.
Dominic Raab, 47, was at the Stamford Bridge game against Brighton on Wednesday night.
Raab, who is the Secretary of State for Justice, appeared to be sat next to someone who was wearing a mask.
Chelsea had told fans attending the game: 'Supporters will be required to wear masks in all indoor areas of the stadium, including the concourses, except when they are eating or drinking. Masks are not required when seated or walking outside the stadium, but they are recommended.'
Raab, who self-isolated on December 9 after coming into contact with a positive case, denied any wrongdoing.
A spokesperson insisted he 'followed the rules at all times', given that government guidance states masks only need to be worn indoors at sport stadiums.
The football supporter near Raab who took the picture of him told The Guardian: 'Personally I find it quite surprising that a senior minister would think it wise to sit in a tightly crowded public arena and ignore health recommendations to wear a mask for 90 minutes during this Omicron surge.
'For me it's his decision-making which should be called into question. It's a busy football game, he can be easily spotted and Covid cases are high. He's not really bothered about setting the best example.'
Dominic Raab has been pictured without a mask at a Chelsea match this week, despite the club having urged fans to keep face coverings on while seated in the stadium
Britain's Secretary of State for Justice Dominic Raab walks outside Downing Street in London, Britain, December 7, 2021
Earlier this month a trio of cabinet ministers went into self-isolation after being in close contact with the Australian deputy prime minister, Barnaby Joyce.
Joyce tested positive for Covid, causing Raab, Grant Shapps and Michael Gove pull out of events until they were tested negative.
On the day of the match there had been 183,037 new infections reported as Omicron began to rage across the UK.
This is not the first time Boris Johnson's government has been accused of setting a bad example on coronavirus protections.
Last month the Prime Minister himself was seen not wearing a mask during part of a visit to a Northumberland hospital.
Raan went on Sky News to stand up for him, insisting: 'Like many of us, we take the advice and guidance that we've got in different settings and that's the right thing for us to do as politicians and it's the right thing for the public to do.'
In November a global study suggested mask-wearing was linked to a 53 per cent cut in the number of Covid cases worldwide.
Education Secretary Nadhim Zahawi also recommended that school staff, visitors and pupils in Year 7 and above should wear masks in communal areas.
The football match between Chelsea and Brighton ended 1-1 in London on Wednesday
Infection rates are incredibly high but are not currently translating into hospital patients
Covid lateral flow tests are handed out for free in boxes of either seven or 20 tests to residents in Slough, Berkshire, yesterday
Current Covid Facemask restrictions
People must wear facemasks in the following places:
Public transport;
Retail shops;
Beauty salons;
Hairdressers;
Banks;
Post offices;
Takeaways;
Estate agents;
Veterinary clinics;
Taxis;
Driving instruction cars.
Those caught flouting the restrictions will be fined £200 for a first offence, which will double on each subsequent offence up to a maximum of £6,400.
Teachers in primary education and below should also follow the guidance – but not pupils, the Department for Education said.
The return of facemasks was announecd by the Prime Minister last month.
He described the rules on masks and border controls as 'targeted and proportionate measures' needed to give scientists time to understand how transmissible the Omicron variant was and how much it might evade vaccine protection.
'First, we need to slow down the seeding of this variant in our country,' he said.
'We need to buy time for our scientists to understand exactly what we are dealing with, and for us to get more people vaccinated and– above all – to get more people boosted; as well as to help our NHS prepare in what is an already challenging winter.
The new rules came in November 30 and initially heralded a crackdown on mask-flouters in London at least.
Tube officials rebuked commuters who failed to cover their faces and threatened to fine them £200 if they were caught breaking the rules again.
Under Covid restrictions, facemasks were again compulsory on public transport, in shops and settings such as banks, post offices and hairdressers in England.

"Suggesting Floyd Cooper for the cover artist was a pie-in-the-sky, dream-huge kind of ask. My beloved editor cautioned me that the legendary illustrator was quite busy but agreed to try. Imagine my delight when he embraced the project and so brilliantly brought the characters to life.
"Floyd's engaging and thoughtful rendering of Lily, Wendy, Michael and their world became a collaborative springboard and inspired me to revisit details of the text to reflect better his vision—and gratefully so."
★ "The poignant dislocation of the Lost and the fierce familial love of the stepsisters illustrate the importance of remembering where you come from and to whom you belong. A refreshing adventure that breathes new life into a classic text." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
★ "A sharp, contemporary retelling of a classic that puts the focus on the Indigenous kids…." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
★ "Full of fantastic storytelling, thrills, and humor, this book is a recommended purchase for all upper elementary and early middle school collections." —School Library Journal, starred review
★ "In this incisive, thrilling modern version of Peter Pan, two stepsisters, one Muscogee Creek and the other white, discover Neverland is not as advertised. Socially conscious readers may most appreciate Smith's supportive portrayal of blended families and Native youth, but any reader looking for a brilliant, suspenseful fantasy adventure should also find SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA thrilling and tremendously fun." —Shelf Awareness, starred review
★ "Smith has brilliantly reshaped the Pan story with a modern, inclusive sensibility. The usual elements are there—Merfolk, Fairies, pirates, lost boys—but all reimagined for the better, especially the Native characters." —Booklist, starred review (for the prose edition)
★ The narration is well done, with Anvil Rich providing pacing that is easy to follow and differentiated character voices. Various accents are believable and add to the story. In the end, it turns out that to grow as people, everyone needs to grow up a little bit." —Booklist, starred review (for the audio edition)
"[Katie Anvil] Rich's warm tones and fervent pacing bring out the heart and intensity in this stunning adventure." —AudioFile
Behind the Mic Podcast: SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA by Cynthia Leitich Smith, read by Katie Anvil Rich from AudioFile.
"…the novel offers redemption not just for Peter but for many of Neverland's other characters as well. With expertly shifting perspectives, an oft-broken fourth wall and subtle but firm remedies to elements of the story best left in the past, SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA is a welcome new addition to the legend of Peter Pan." —BookPage
"This smart and engaging middle-grade novel intertwines bits of Barrie's language, some strong and resourceful Indigenous kids, and themes of the importance of family and the powerful bonds of sisterhood into an original and wholly satisfying bit of magic." —The Horn Book Magazine
"Highly recommended….We hope you'll get a copy ASAP, read it, and tell others to read it, too. When you're at your local library, ask for it! If they don't have it yet, ask them to order it." —American Indians in Children's Literature
"Youngsters familiar with the classic from its print, play or movie versions will be fascinated to see how Smith revisits and upends Neverland in this new, thought-provoking adventure." —Mary Quattlebaum, Washington Parent from The Washington Post
"He [Peter Pan] lures Wendy and Michael to Neverland, leaving Lily to attempt a rescue on an island full of hungry crocodiles, a queendom of fairies, angry merfolk and wily pirates. "Like any other kind of magic, stories can offer harm and hope," Leitich Smith writes. Here, she offers pushback and a path forward." —Trisha Collopy, Star Tribune
"The colorful backdrop of Neverland is skillfully done, the violet sand of the beach, the maze of underground tunnels, Belle's Fairy quarters with her Tiddlywink chandelier, the Merfolk with their distrust of humans. There is plenty of swashbuckling action as the girls enlist the Lost and the Natives to outwit Peter Pan and fight to return home." —Jean Westmoore, The Buffalo News
"With a refreshing Native perspective, a healthy dollop of fairy dust, and a strong dose of sisterhood, Smith brilliantly flips the script on the classic Pan tale and imagines what it would really be like to land on an island ruled by a stubbornly frozen-in-time boy." —Meghan G., Staff Pick, BookPeple of Austin, Texas
"We highly recommend SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA and hope it becomes part of school curriculum and home libraries for as long as the source material has been around! Shonabish!" —Alexis and Charlie, Indigo's Bookshelf: Voices of Native Youth
Author Insights

"I'm fascinated by the conversation of books over time, especially new stories that talk back to those that are widely considered classics.
"SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA is one of those books, offering a modern take on J.M. Barrie's PETER AND WENDY, one that's centered on its girl characters and told from a decidedly Indigenous point of view. It unpacks the toll of problematic books on children while reinventing Neverland to showcase an exciting, heartfelt story of family, community, hope and Fairy dust."
On Lines: SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA from On Lines: Connecting Story and Song, One Line at a Time. PEEK: "I chose to forewarn young readers to brace themselves for high stakes and page-turning peril, but at the same time reassure them that the narrative voice would guide them safely through it."
Guest Interview: Kathi Appelt & Cynthia Leitich Smith on Rebirth in the Neversea from Cynsations. PEEK: "They're together on the same journey—Lily and Wendy. They're mirror characters who grow to recognize and appreciate their shared qualities over time. Ideally, we all mature to face reality without surrendering our sense of wonder."
Process Notes: SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA by Cynthia Leitich Smith from Uma Krishnaswami at Writing with a Broken Tusk. PEEK: "…like the body of children's literature, Peter Pan is now tasked with redeeming himself, with opening his mind, with recognizing that all the world isn't his alone for the taking. By welcoming characters like Lily and her little brother Michael into his heart, by welcoming blended and bicultural families like the Roberts-Darlings into his Home Under the Ground, Peter will finally—with effort—be able to grow into all he was meant to be."
Q&A With Cynthia Leitich Smith from Book Q&As with Deborah Kalb. PEEK: "My hope is that my retelling captures all the magic and wonder of the original while also inviting in and respectfully validating a wider range of young readers."
In Their Own Words: What Cynthia Leitich Smith and Brian Young Want You to Know by Kara Stewart from School Library Journal. PEEK: "SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA shows readers that blended and found families are real families, that the love and respect within them can empower and challenge us in ways that make us more thoughtful, empathetic human beings."

Floyd Cooper (Muscogee) received a Coretta Scott King Award for THE BLACKER THE BERRY (HarperCollins, 2008) and a Coretta Scott King honor for his illustrations in BROWN HONEY IN BROOMWHEAT TEA (HarperCollins, 1995), both by Joyce Carol Thomas. His 2021 book, UNSPEAKABLE: THE TULSA RACE MASSACRE, written by Carol Boston Weatherford (Carolrhoda) received six starred reviews.
Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, he received a degree in fine arts from the University of Oklahoma and, after graduating, worked as an artist for a major greeting card company. He lived in Easton, Pennsylvania, with his wife.
He gave the world of children's literature so, so much, and we are forever grateful.
Initial sketch for the cover of SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA
In SISTERS OF THE NEVERSEA, the Roberts-Darling children are reading ELLA ENCHANTED by Gail Carson Levine (HarperCollins, 1997), a Newbery Honor Medal Book and modern classic. Both books re-envision fairy tales with fresh twists for today's young readers.
At her birth, Ella of Frell receives a foolish fairy's gift—the "gift" of obedience. Ella must obey any order, whether it's to hop on one foot for a day and a half, or to chop off her own head! But strong-willed Ella does not accept her fate…
Against a bold backdrop of princes, ogres, giants, wicked stepsisters, and fairy godmothers, Ella goes on a quest to break the curse forever.
A tween favorite for 20 years—now shared with today's young readers by moms, teachers, and other adults who remember the pleasure of discovering this fun fairy-tale retelling themselves!
Twenty Must-Read Middle Grade Fairy Tale Retellings by Rachel Brittain from Book Riot. PEEK: "I loved seeing a classic fairytale turned on its head. And I think this is a thing most kids have in common. There's just something terribly fun about a fractured fairytale, in seeing something old and maybe a bit outdated made silly or modern or relatable."

2021 Peter Pan Retellings compiled by Gilcy Aquino from Publishers Weekly. PEEK: "These twists and more will have you rethinking what you thought you knew about the classic tale."
Children's Books That Contextualize, Challenge or Correct Classic Kid Lit by Sarah Hannah Gómez from Book Riot. PEEK: " For me, and I imagine for other professionals who work with children, particularly developmental specialists, the thing I find most compelling and well done is the way the entire thing is just a metaphor for games of make believe, not a sentimental 'childhood innocence' thing."

Circuit Details
Turns:
8 December, 1985 (All day)
Jerez History
Due to the hosting of the European Grand Prix in 1994, the circuit instituted safety changes from the 1990 configuration, including a new chicane (the Senna curve) at the corner where Martin Donnelly had an appalling accident during qualifying for the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix. Jerez also hosted the 1997 European Grand Prix, which was the championship decider between Michael Schumacher and Jacques Villeneuve, who collided during the race.
During the podium celebrations of the 1997 race, Jerez's Mayor Pedro Pacheco disrupted the podium celebrations by presenting a trophy that was supposed to be presented by a dignitary from Daimler-Benz. This incident resulted in the track being temporarily banned from hosting a Grand Prix. It has never hosted another Grand Prix, but remains one of the most popular venues for winter testing.
During 2005, the track was resurfaced. It was expected that the Champ Car World Series would race there in 2008 Champ Car World Series season until the series was cancelled early in the year after merging with the IndyCar Series.
The ciruit currently holds pre-season Formula One testing shared with the Circuit de Catalunya, also in Spain.

In a world of pop-ups and fast-moving emerging markets —we're talking to you, tech industry — a small trade show booth design can help you take advantage of emerging trends and opportunities that traditional, larger exhibits simply can't. It may seem counterintuitive but a "small" strategy can lead to big results.
Many shows have expanded beyond the traditional convention center venue, showing up in hotels, gardens, and museums. A traditional 50×50-foot space may not fit in these trendy, non-traditional locations. Keeping your space smaller allows you to access otherwise inaccessible venues, opening up your business to new audiences.
As you are looking to expand your business, you may want to try new shows. But it can be a risk to invest in a complex, expensive display, only to discover you have targeted the wrong audience. A small design can give you the opportunity to evaluate the market and make a great first impression — before you make the big investment in a larger space. Also, you won't be hindered by distant ship dates and the risk that your exhibit gets hung up in transit.
A smaller space that is less expensive and more mobile means more interactions, which then translates into more eyes on your business. And the more people who see your products, the more products you're able to market.
Our recent work with Slack as its experiential marketing partner encapsulates all the benefits of a small yet highly-effective display. Creating a space for Dreamforce, the award-winning, sold-out conference from Salesforce, we kept the exhibit simple and elegant.
Showcased by a living wall lined with plants set atop a natural wood backdrop, we offered a calming, clutter-free, and highly-mobile exhibit to draw in visitors. Our draw was to bring nature indoors, a "natural" fit for the intuitive software company.
A large screen displayed energizing cartoons, staging a light-hearted motif with some of the world's bigger brands. The space was cozy, drawing visitors in for a relaxed, engaging conversation with the Slack team. In addition to being named one of Radius' "Top 10 Booths at Dreamforce 2016," our work with Slack took home a Silver for Best Trade Show Experience at Event Market's Ex Awards.
As we like to say, no small feat.

Microsoft Security Director Steps Down
By Jabulani Leffall
Redmond's security team is undergoing a revamp with the announcement that Andrew Cushman, director of Microsoft's Security Response Center (MSRC), will be stepping down to be replaced by group manager Mike Reavey.
Reavey's appointment, announced late Thursday, might be a sign that Microsoft is trying to step up its security push at a time when its patching process is facing increased scrutiny because of more pervasive threats.
Well-respected by both security experts and the hacker community, Reavey comes into the position after being a group manager specializing in emerging threats and vulnerability response, which includes Microsoft's monthly security bulletins.
Particularly with the threat of the Conficker worm still looming, Reavey seems to be just the man for the job. Over the years, he was instrumental in combating the Zotob, Sasser and Blaster worm outbreaks on Windows systems, and many consider him to be the face of the MSRC.
According to Microsoft, though Cushman is being replaced, he is not leaving the company. Instead, he will focus on developing ideas and strategies for Microsoft's larger, more collaborative security initiatives. Both Cushman and Reavey will continue to report to George Stathakopoulos, Microsoft's general manager of security engineering and communications.
Jabulani Leffall is an award-winning journalist whose work has appeared in the Financial Times of London, Investor's Business Daily, The Economist and CFO Magazine, among others.

Q: Multiple counting in 1 sql statement Lets say I have a table with a column of ages..
Here is the list of ages

*

*1

*2

*3

*1

*1

*3

I want the SQL to count how many of age 1s, how many of 2s and 3s.
The code:
Select count(age) as age1 where age = '1';
Select count(age) as age2 where age = '2';
Select count(age) as age3 where age = '3';

Should work but would there be a way to just display it all using only 1 line of code?

A: This is an instance where the GROUP BY clause really shines:
SELECT age, COUNT(age)
FROM table_name
GROUP BY age

Just an additional tip:
You shouldn't use single quotes here in your query:
WHERE age = '1';

This is because age is an INT data type and therefore does not have single quotes. MySQL will implicitly convert age to the correct data type for you - and it's a negligible amount of overhead here. But imagine if you were doing a JOIN of two tables with millions of rows, then the overhead introduced would be something to consider.

A: Try this ,if the count is limited to three ages ,also using aggregate functions without grouping them will result in a single row,you can use SUM() with the condition which will result in a boolean and you can get the count based on your criteria
Select SUM(age = '1') as age1,
SUM(age = '2') as age2,
SUM(age = '3') as age3
from table

A: SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN age = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS age1,
       SUM(CASE WHEN age = 2 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS age2,
       SUM(CASE WHEN age = 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS age3
FROM YourTable

A: select age, count(age) from SomeTable group by age

http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/b40da/2
The group by clause works like this:
When using aggregate functions, like the count function without a group by clause the function will apply to the entire dataset determined by the from and where clauses. A count will for instance count the number of rows in the result set, and sum over a specfic column will sum all the rows in the result set.
What the group by clause allows us to do, is to divide the result set determined by the from and where clause into partitions, so that the aggregate functions no longer applies to the result set as a whole, but rather within each partition of the result set.
When you specify a column to group by, what you are saying is something like "for each distinct value of column x in the result set, create a partition containing any row in the result set with this particular value in column x". Then, instead of yielding one result covering the entire resultset, aggregate functions will yield one result for each distinct value of column x in the result set.
With your example input of:
1
2
3
1
1
3

let's analyze the above query. As always, we should look at the from clause and the where clause first. The from clause tells us that we are selecting from SomeTable and only this, and the lack of a where clause tells us that we are selecting from the full contents of SomeTable.
Next, we'll look at the group by clause. It's present, and it groups by the age column, which is the only column in our example. The presence of the group by clause changes our dataset completely! Instead of selecting from the entire row set of SomeTable, we are now selecting from a set of partitions, one for each distinct value of the age-column in our original result set (which was every row in SomeTable).
At last, we'll look at the select-clause. Now, since we are selecting from partitions and not regular rows, the select-clause has fewer options for what it can contain, actually it only has 2: The column that it is grouped by, or an aggregate function.
Now, in our example we only have one column, but consider that we had another column, like here:
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!2/d5479/2
Now, imagine that in our data set we have two rows, both with age='1', but with different values in the other column. If we were to include this other column in a query that is grouped by the age-column (which we now know will return one row for each partition over the age-column), which value should be presented in the result? It makes no sense to include other column than the one you grouped by. (I'll leave multiple columns in the group by clause out of this, in my experience one usually just wants one..)
But back to our select-clause, knowing our dataset has the distinct values {1, 2, 3} in the age-column, we should expect to get 3 rows in our result set. The first thing to be selected is the age-column, which will yield the values [1, 2, 3]´ in the three rows. Next in theselect-list is an aggregate functioncount(age), which we now know will count the number of rows in each partition. So, for the row in the result whereage='1', it will count the number of rows withage='1', for the row whereage='2'it will count the number of rows whereage='2'`, and so on.
The result would look something like this:
age    count(age)
 1        3
 2        1
 3        2

(of course you are free to override the name of the second column in the result, with the as-operator..)
And that concludes today's lesson.

A: If your query should return only one column (age in this case, you can use Count+groupby):
SELECT age, Count(1) as qty
FROM [yourTable]
GROUP BY age

Remember you must include any additional column in your group by condition.

A: Select age as Age_Group, count(age) as Total_count from table1 group by age;

Vinse un'altra medaglia d'oro ai Campionati asiatici di Almaty 2004 con 370 kg. nel totale, battendo i cinesi Li Hongli (360 kg.) e Zhan Xugang (350 kg.) e, nello stesso anno, partecipò alle Olimpiadi di Atene 2004, conquistando la medaglia d'argento con 372,5 kg. nel totale, alle spalle del turco Taner Sağır (375 kg.) e davanti all'altro turco Reyhan Arabacıoğlu (360 kg.), il quale ottenne la sua medaglia di bronzo alcuni anni dopo, a seguito della squalifica per doping del russo Oleg Perepečёnov, che concluse quella gara olimpica con 365 kg. nel totale.

Nel corso della sua carriera Filimonov realizzò due record mondiali nella prova di strappo.

"Trees For The Earth" is the theme for Earth Day 2016.
The Earth Day movement, was started in the 1970′s by John McConnell, a Christian and Peace Activist. He based this passion on bible passages such as Psalm 115:16, "The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth has been given to the children of men". Mr McConnell believed humans have an obligation to take care of the earth, and to share its resources fairly. Earth Day has since seen billions take part in planting trees, cleaning up local neighborhoods, and pushing government officials to enact more progressive environmental laws.Over the next five years, as Earth Day moves closer to its 50th anniversary in 2020, they are calling for the planting of 7.8 billion trees and they need our help.
Trees are a great choice for this year's theme because they help combat climate change.
They absorb excess and harmful CO2 from our atmosphere. In fact, in a single year, an acre of mature trees absorbs the same amount of CO2 produced by driving the average car 26,000 miles.Trees help us breathe clean air.
They absorb odors and pollutant gases and filter particulates out of the air by trapping them on their leaves and bark.
Trees help provide food, energy and income to our communities. Studies have shown that schools with tree cover have reduced asthma and lung disease rates.
So join us this Friday April 22, 2016, as we celebrate our earthly home.

What animal is prominently featured in Chick-fil-A advertisements? Ostensibly a plea made for self-preservation, in 1995 two cows wrote "Eat Mor Chikin" on a billboard in Atlanta. More than two decades later, spotted bovine are still intrinsically linked to the chicken chain.
