1 Accoce, Pierre And Quet, Pierre A Man Called Lucy
New York Coward Mccann 1967 First American Edition; First Impression Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Book and dust in excellent condition, looks never read. Roessler became a Russian Spy. Roessler's information came straight from the German High command. He would get radio contact from the Official Broadcasting Center of the Oberkommando der Wehrmacht. The information was given to a transmitter who only knew Roessler by his call number "RAHS." Any information regarding the German army was preceded by "Werther" "Olga" for the Air Force. His information contained troop movements, invasion timetables, production statistics, casualty counts, and loss of equipment for each battle. Often, his information was transmitted to the Russians before the German units received orders. The amount of information Rudolf Roessler sent over the course of five years to Russia could fill about 40 average length books. That is about 5,500 messages or 5 messages a day for 3 years, or approximately 129 messages a month. Russia used the information to wage psychological warfare. This was an unqualified success, and many German soldiers suffered mental breakdowns as a result. ; WWII spy Rudolf Roessler; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 250 pages

6 Barclay, Robert A treatise on church government, Formerly called Anarchy of the Ranters, &c., being a two-fold apology for the church and people of God, called in ... good order and discipline in the church
Philadelphia PA S. W. Conrad 1822 Later Printing; First Edition Hardcover Good with no dust jacket
The original 1822 edition. Leather cover worn but contents tight and complete. Some foxing to pages. "Being a two-fold apology for the church and people of God called, in derision, Quakers. To which is added and epistle to the National meeting of Friends in Dublin concerning good order and discipline in the church" Very Rare. We provide delivery tracking on US orders. Robert Barclay (23 December 1648 – 3 October 1690) was a Scottish Quaker, one of the most eminent writers belonging to the Religious Society of Friends and a member of the Clan Barclay. He was also governor of the East Jersey colony in North America through most of the 1680s, although he himself never resided in the colony. The Ranters were one of a number of nonconformist dissenting groups that emerged around the time of the English Commonwealth (1649–1660). They were largely common people, and there is plenty of evidence that the movement was widespread throughout England, though they were not organised and had no leader.[Wikipedia]Ranters were regarded as heretical by the established Church and seem to have been regarded by the government as a threat to social order. They denied the authority of churches, of scripture, of the current ministry and of services, instead calling on men to listen to the divine within them. In many ways they resemble the 14th century Brethren of the Free Spirit. Rare.; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 124 pages

14 Beach, Christopher Artifice and Indeterminacy An Anthology of New Poetics
University Alabama Press 1998 0817309462 / 9780817309466 First Edition; First Impression Hardcover Near Fine with no dust jacket
Looks Never Read! Still in shrink wrap. ; Modern & Contemporary Poetics; 392 pages;
Artifice and Indeterminacy gathers the strongest and most representative writings of the past two decades and shows more clearly than ever before the depth and breadth of contemporary American poetics. Collectively, these essays break with conventional interpretive frameworks and traditional generic boundaries of poetry to give fresh voice to the poetics of our time.
Neither dismissive of the aesthetic value(s) of poetry, nor reluctant to articulate the ways in which aesthetic evaluation is complicated by the mediating influences of history, culture, class, gender, race, and academic status, the writers presented in this anthology celebrate the artifice of the poetic text while also accepting as a given the indeterminacy of its inception and reception.
Individual pieces range in style and approach from theoretical writings to discussions of individual poets such as Emily Dickinson, Louis Zukofsky, and Bob Kaufman. The authors consider such critical issues as gender and the possibilities of a feminist poetics, the textual politics of race and class, and the broader implications of an avant-garde practice.

Signed by Author. Dr. Cameron Talbot has invented a breakthrough technology to defend against cruise missiles. But she needs support from skeptical company officers, funding from a reluctant Congress, and help from the White House to develop her life-saving project. Lt. Col. Hunt Daniels, detailed from the Pentagon to the White House National Security Council to investigate Dr. Talbots work, sees the potential of the invention. The fact that hes attracted to the brilliant scientist adds one more dimension to his interest in her work. But disaster is brewing overseas as militants in the disputed Kashmir region of India steal a series of missiles from sympathizers in the Pakistani military and launch one against India. At the same time, they send one of their agents to Washington, D.C., to steal Dr. Talbots technology so they can protect themselves when their enemies retaliate. The scientist and the NSC staffer find themselves enmeshed in terrorist plots and political wrangling at the highest levels. With scenes in the Oval Office, the Situation Room, Capitol Hill, Georgetown restaurants, and Washington dinner parties, as well as action in Kashmir, New Delhi, and at the Taj Mahal, the tension and intrigue escalate until two nuclear-armed countries stand at the brink of war.; 1.2 x 9.4 x 6.3 Inches; 336 pages; Signed by Author

Original 1806 printing from the second London Edition. Very worn leather boards. Hinges cracking but not seperated. Contents shows browning due to age. Clean otherwise. David Bogue (18 February 1750 – 25 October 1825) was a British nonconformist leader.He was born in the parish of Coldingham, Berwickshire, Scotland. After a course of study in Edinburgh, he was licensed to preach by the Church of Scotland, but made his way to London in 1771, to teach in schools at Edmonton, Hampstead and Camberwell. In 1777, he settled as minister of the Congregational church at Gosport in Hampshire.[1] His predecessors at the Independent Chapel of Gosport were the Rev. James Watson (1770–76) and the Rev. Thomas Williams (1750–70).[2]In 1771 he established an institution for preparing men for the ministry.[3][4] It was the age of the new-born missionary enterprise, and Bogue's academy was largely the seed from which the London Missionary Society grew.[5] In 1800 the society placed missionaries with Bogue for preparation for their ministries.[6] Bogue himself would have gone to India in 1796 if not for the opposition of the East India Company.[5] In 1824 he taught Samuel Dyer at Gosport before he left for Penang as a missionary with the London Missionary Society.[3]He was also involved in founding the British and Foreign Bible Society and the Religious Tract Society, and in conjunction with James Bennett, minister at Romsey, wrote a well-known History of Dissenters (3 vols., 1809). Another of his writings was an Essay on the Divine Authority of the New Testament.[5] He died at Brighton.[3] We provide delivery tracking to all US orders.

There are some of you who have paddled from our dock to Cache Bay. It's a fairly long paddle and probably takes the average person four to five hours. It feels like a long time even when you are in a boat so I can't imagine how it would feel to waterski all of the way to Cache Bay.
There are some old wooden water skis in our lodge that belonged to Ralph and Bea Griffis who used to own and operate Chik-Wauk Lodge. Back in those days you could have any size motor on your boat and you could go anywhere you wanted with a motor. That meant you could waterski wherever you wanted too. And for Bea Griffis that meant waterskiing all the way to the Cache Bay Ranger Station from Chik-Wauk. It's roughly the same distance from Chik-Wauk to the Ranger Station as it is from our place to the Ranger Station minus the rapids. An amazing feat to someone like me who tried repeatedly and unsucessfully to waterski at a friend's cabin in the 8th grade.
I don't like to say I can't do something. So since the 8th grade when someone has mentioned waterskiing over the years I have said, "I want to try to waterski sometime because I couldn't do it in the 8th grade." Many people have said, "I'll take you, let's go this summer, I'll call you." So, for 30 plus years I've waited for the call and opportunity.
It turns out I just hadn't mentioned it to the right person. The first weekend in August I gave my usual line to a father of one of Josh's classmates and he called and texted me not once or twice but until it finally worked out for me to go to their house on the lake and give it a shot.
He and his friends on the lake are amazing waterskiers. They have a course set up and fly through it on one ski at speeds I'm almost afraid to be in the boat at. But it turned out he also had a boom attachment that made it super easy to pop out of the water and ski. It was awesome to be able to waterski. I didn't get up on top of the water using a rope behind the boat because I was super satisfied having been able to ski next to the boat. It is a really neat feeling to be on top of the water and I can see why Bea would have wanted to waterski all of the way to Cache Bay. While I won't ever be able to legally waterski to Cache Bay I at least know what it would feel like to carve through the waters of Saganaga on two wooden skis.

"Rear Admiral Steve Kunkle, commander of the carrier strike force, grimaced at a Doonesbury comic strip from the Japan Times. It showed a Navy pilot thinking 'Oops!'" As Doonesbury shifts to a wartime footing, the strip's major players find themselves pre-positioned for the coming cakewalk. Weekend warrior B.D. leaves the Fighting Swooshes of Walden in the care of acting Coach Boopstein, returning to the sands of Kuwait as Camp Blowback's Public Affairs Officer. Among his charges: Roland Hedley, veteran of a grueling combat training program designed to keep media folk from getting capped. Offshore, the irrepressible Morale Officer Lieutenant. Tripler goes live ("Good MORNING, regime-changers!") to lift the shipbound spirits of his pre-swarthy charges, while offstage, Viceroy-in-Waiting Duke prepares to answer empire's call.
Stateside, Mike takes up a flanking position on the sofa to log some serious CNN time, while the Reverend Sloan girds his loins for peace: "Look for us on TV-we'll be a million strong." Marching to the beat of a different cause, Zonker's old surfing mentor tries to enlist Z in a desperate fight to liberate Left Coastal access. Protests Zonk, "What can I do? I am but one dude!" Meanwhile, Jeff Redfern is but one CIA intern, yet he manages to launch a Predator drone and, using basic Nintendo training, knock out an Al-Q ammo dump. Also taking a hit, Trent Lott, busted for giving props to segregation. "I was trying to say I was down with the hood!" he backpedals, realizing too late that Mr. James Crow has finally left the house.
With Alex declaring eco-jihad on SUVs, and Elmont launching a daily assault on coherence as on-line blogger "Jenny McTagart, Girl Pirate," it's hard to see a peaceful world ahead. But Jimmy Thudpucker can. Waging war on the recording industry, he and other filesharers have a vision of ultimate change de regime: "The suits die off, and Pepperland will be free again."
G. B. Trudeau has been drawing his Pulitzer Prize-winning comic strip for more than forty years. In addition to cartooning, Trudeau has worked in theater, film, and television. He also has been a contributing columnist for the New York Times op-ed page and later an essayist for Time magazine. He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts & Sciences. He lives in New York City with his wife, Jane Pauley. They have three grown children.

As expected, Florsheim Group Inc. on Monday filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and said it would sell its assets to Weyco Group Inc. in a deal worth about $47.3 million.
Weyco, a Milwaukee-based shoe company whose brands include Stacy Adams, Brass Boot and Nunn Bush (Crain's, March 4). Weyco will keep 23 stores open under the Florsheim name, said a Weyco spokesman.
The agreement is subject to Bankruptcy Court approval and could be trumped by a higher bid.
According to Florsheim's most recent quarterly filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company owed $116.9 million to bondholders and bank lenders as of Sept. 29.
Florsheim said it reached an agreement, subject to court approval, with a group of existing lenders to provide debtor-in-possession financing. The funding will primarily be used to pay employees, suppliers, vendors and other business partners.

Assessing Misogyny in Candidates Battling for the 2016 U.S. Presidency
September 28, 2015 by Pramila Venkateswaran Leave a Comment
It is disheartening to see the rampant misogyny and racism that has surfaced in the current U.S. Presidential election speeches, debates, audience reactions, and media coverage.
None of the Republican candidates running for President have shown any concern for women's health. In their denunciation of Planned Parenthood and threatening a shutdown of the government if funding Planned Parenthood is included in the budget, we see their failure to connect with women, especially poor women, rural women, and teenagers, who need organizations like Planned Parenthood for their overall reproductive healthcare.
One would think a woman candidate would speak up for women in the electorate. Carly Fiorina is more ferocious than any of the male Republican candidates in her denunciation of Planned Parenthood, basing her argument on a dubious video created by an anti-abortion group. In the attention paid to the Republicans' heated exchanges about Planned Parenthood, Hillary Clinton's support of women's reproductive rights has been drowned out while the uproar over her email server is driving her views of women's health to the periphery.
Earlier this month, candidate Donald Trump deliberately failed to stop an audience member making anti-Muslim comments about President Obama and Muslims in the country. Since Trump is very much in the thick of creating the argument that Obama is not American, he let this comment feed into the larger Birther controversy. The racism that is ladled out by the Republicans is plentiful and the crowd that is swallowing it has a voracious appetite, having bought into the equation of illegal immigration and the devaluation of America both economically and culturally. Since the racism is so palpable and coming from the mouths of "authority," the crowd feels very comfortable about ensconcing itself in it.
The media plays into the frenzy of the Republicans. Journalists use language that seem to celebrate the candidates, by calling them "bold" and "delivering change," and for being "outsiders" and not succumbing to Beltway politics. An alien who walks into this media reporting would think he/she is hearing about someone progressive who has uttered profound truths for the betterment of humanity! Why is the media so fascinated by candidates like Trump, and why aren't there more intellectual debates about the flaws and lack of historical understanding in the Republican debates?
Paralleling the Republican denunciation of illegal immigration is the crisis in Europe of migrants and refugees crossing the borders of Syria and Turkey into Hungary, Greece, France and Germany. Republicans are not addressing the refugee crisis for they have built a wall around their position. While part of the public in European countries is advocating porous borders, many Republican candidates are exploring the aesthetics of walls that can be built on the borders with Mexico and Canada.
Since Carly Fiorina is the only woman standing for elections among the Republicans, and Hilary Clinton among the Democrats, both women had to deal with their opponents' comments that had nothing to do with their political positions. Trump commented on Fiorina's "face," saying her appearance would not inspire people to vote for her. When Hillary was First Lady in the 1992, some people remarked that she should be baking cookies instead of designing healthcare legislation. Today, she faces remarks about her age. Neither woman can escape comments about their clothes and hair. Hillary faces the additional demand to convey emotion, talk about her personal life, and periodically shed a few tears, so she can garner more votes.
Are we still at the stage of having to prove that women can run for office and be accepted for who they are in terms of their personalities? Do women running for office have to subscribe to stereotypical notions of gender? Will immigrants of color continue to be an anomaly in the Republican Party? Will Republicans ever recognize that while the U.S. is using global resources, it is hypocritical to talk about "walls" to prevent people from coming across its borders? Will the Republicans ever acknowledge that our economy is supported on the shoulders of "illegal" and "legal" immigrant women's labor, from farm to factory to our dinner table?

Misogyny and Racism among Republican Contenders for the 2016 Presidency
September 2, 2015 by Pramila Venkateswaran Leave a Comment
The current competition among several Republican candidates to win the Republican ticket for the 2016 Presidency is overwhelmingly centered on statements and promises to support policies that are misogynistic.
Candidate Donald Trump is gaining popularity among the Republican voters for his stance on immigration. He vows to deport the children, even if they are American citizens, born to "illegal immigrants." Apart from this notion being unconstitutional, it exposes an immigration restriction that used to be applied more than a century ago–the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, "which severely restricted the entry of unmarried Asian women [my emphasis] into the United States as part of an effort to limit the growing Asian and Asian American population" (Gurr 30). Other Republican candidates, like Ted Cruz and Jeb Bush, are in agreement with Trump, although Jeb Bush has picked Asians over Mexicans as his voodoo doll.
In giving credence to the belief in ousting children of illegal immigrants, Republican candidates are enhancing the population control practices that have been historically enacted on poor and non white populations.
The most recent battle is being waged to defund Planned Parenthood, an old battle that has now become frenzied and vicious. The gradual erasure of Planned Parenthood from many states attests to the gradual diminishment of health care for women who are particularly disadvantaged—rural women, poor women, teenagers, women of color. While the Republicans have built up arguments about Planned Parenthood's evil, like their trade in "baby organs" (fetal tissue), based on evidence collected by decoy clients, the facts remain glossed over and unheeded: Abortion is a vital service PP offers, but is not federally funded and is a tiny percentage of the care that Planned Parenthood offers women, from prenatal care to breast cancer screening and HIV tests.
Also, much talked about in the news is Trump's crass treatment of Fox's news anchor, Megyn Kelly. In critiquing Trump, one finds oneself supporting an equally misogynistic and neoliberal institution, Fox News. Interestingly enough, during the first Republican debate, Megyn calling out Trump's misogynistic name calling of women made her a target of Trump's humiliating riposte—he questioned her intelligence and her work as a journalist. And she was not spared the name calling either; on social media, Trump continued his war days after his first fracas, and called her a "bimbo."
While many have rallied to Megyn's support (due to her privilege of being an anchor on Fox, her youth, her whiteness, and her class), there was no protest or walk out when Jorge Ramos, a top Latino journalist, was summarily kicked out by security when he tried asking Trump a question about his proposed immigration policy! Here we see, along with misogyny, a deep and fertile racism, (the two often go together), but a section of the populace is eager to overlook these events as harmless, pure theater.
These recent events bear a dangerous echo to the beginning of the Nazi era and Hitler, with Mein Kampf as the bible that would build a country based on exclusions through genocide of the unwanted. If Americans select a President who will enact policies that are racist and misogynist and do away with press freedoms, we can begin to believe that we have lost our basic human and civil rights. We need to be angry, stay alert, and organize more than ever.

Q: How do I knit to two formats simulateously with Quarto? Is it possible to create multiple output formats from a Quarto/R Markdown document at once by specifying them in the YAML header?
My guess did not work:
---
title: Stacked Area chart with Annotations
format:
  - html
  - gfm
---

A: Try this way (and suppose file name is format_test.qmd)
format_test.qmd
---
title: "Untitled"
format:
  html: default
  gfm: default
---

## Quarto

Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code
into a finished document. To learn more about Quarto
see <https://quarto.org>.

## Running Code

When you click the **Render** button a document will
be generated that includes both content and the output
of embedded code. You can embed code like this:

```{r}
1 + 1
```

Then from console run this following code to generate both html and github flavoured markdown (gfm) file at once.
# install.packages("quarto")

quarto::quarto_render("format_test.qmd", output_format = "all")

Or if you prefer using the terminal (or if you are a non R-useR) you can run the following command in the terminal,
quarto render format_test.qmd --to gfm,html

Be careful to specify multiple formats without putting any space in between i.e. type them as gfm,html.
And running the above command in the terminal does not require you to specify format yaml option in your document. So, for
format_test.qmd
---
title: "Untitled"
---

## Quarto

Quarto enables you to weave together content and executable code
into a finished document. To learn more about Quarto
see <https://quarto.org>.

quarto render format_test.qmd --to pdf,html,gfm

will generate three files in HTML, pdf, and markdown format.

Singapore Intellectual Property Development Incentive: Updated Guidelines
In Articles/BlogPosted September 21, 2021
Early this year, the Income Tax (Concessionary Rate of Tax for Intellectual Property Income) Regulations 2021 was published by Singapore's Ministry of Finance which took effect as of 22nd January 2021. The regulations provide further guidance of the implementation and application of the Intellectual Property Development Incentive (IDI). The initial guidelines on the concessionary tax rate and the incentive period was provided in the main legislation, section 43ZI of the Income Tax Act (ITA) published in 2018.
The IDI was introduced to encourage the use and commercialization of Intellectual Property rights (IPR) arising from research and development (R&D) activities and grants a concessionary tax rate of 5% or 10% on a percentage of qualifying intellectual property (IP) income determined by the modified nexus approach recommended by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
When the IDI was first introduced in 2018, income derived from IPRs were excluded from the scope of two existing incentives, the Pioneer Service Companies Incentive (PC-S) and the Development and Expansion Incentive (DEI) by virtue of certain pre-existing provisions.
The 2021 regulations
Qualifying IP income refers to royalties or other income receivable by the approved IDI company as consideration for the commercial use of an elected qualifying IPR. Such qualifying IPRs are:
Applications for Patents
Copyrights subsisting in software
Family of qualifying IPRs
This refers to a situation where either the expenditure or the income of two or more IPRs cannot be reasonably identified or separated from each other and are therefore grouped into a "family". This also applies where two IPRs are part of a chain of three or more qualifying IPRs and each of which is interlinked with one another creating a "chain rule". The grouping of the family of IPRs is important when calculating the nexus ratio.
Elections into the IDI are irrevocable, however, an election for IPRs to be grouped in the same family may be amended to add or remove members as new IPRs join the family or where old IPRs are no longer valid. The final composition of the family at the end of the basis period will be used to calculate the nexus ratio.
Once elected, the IPRs cannot be removed from the family unless the IDI company ceases to have the IPRs or if the IPRs no longer interlinked with any of the IPRs in the family. Should the family of qualifying IPRs cease entirely prior to the completion of the full basis period, the nexus ratio will be adjusted and based on the final composition prior to cessation?
Nexus ratio
The percentage of qualifying IP income from an elected qualifying IPR is determined in accordance with the formula:
C x 130 %
C + D
C are the qualifying expenditures such as R&D carried out directly by the IDI company, qualifying outsourced R&D, and payments under cost-sharing agreements (CSAs).
D are the non-qualifying expenditures such as acquisition costs, licensing, amalgamation, buy-in payments for CSAs, and non-qualifying outsourced R&D
Deemed income
As IPR protection in a patent or copyright subsisting in software typically has a limited lifespan, issues may arise where there is a cessation of that protection. Particularly, the IDI may no longer cover income for such IPRs where:
It is no longer part of a family of qualifying IPRs as it can be identified separately
A patent application was withdrawn or abandoned
A patent under application was disposed of by the IDI company, ceasing their rights to the pending patent prior to receiving approval
The application was rejected
Where the income can separately be identified within the family of qualifying IPRs and attributed to a patent application, deemed income may come into force and chargeable to tax at the existing corporate tax rate.
Transitional nexus ratio
As the nexus ratio requires R&D expenditure to be tracked and traced to each IPRs or groups of IPRs, there is a requirement that records from the approval date of the IDI be kept, however, the requirement also includes any earlier periods for which the company has expenditure records tracked to the elected qualifying IPR or family of elected qualifying IPRs.
A transition period may be used for the basis period where an IDI company does not have at least 3 full years of actual tracked data in relation to an IPR or a family of IPRs as at the end of the basis period. For R&D projects that started less than 3 years and the IDI company does not have actual tracked data for the entire period, the transitional nexus ratio will be applied.
Singapore's IP IDI is administered by the Singapore Economic Development Board (SEDB) and is designed to encourage more R&D activities which in turn will help with the growth of the economy. The incentive is one of many developments reflecting Singapore's position in the shifting global tax landscape towards greater substance. As IP is an important income generating asset for multinationals, the global tax development on IP regimes is just as important. The 2021 Regulations provide further guidance on the implementation and application of the IDI which became applicable from the 1st of July 2018. IDI companies should ensure that appropriate supporting documents are kept in order to establish and substantiate the qualifying IPR or families of IPRs, relevant income, expenditure incurred, and the R&D activities.

I had the pleasure of talking with John Ford of KAOS Radio in Olympia, Wash., on April 28 about my new novel, The Ada Decades. Here's an MP3 of our conversation, which was a delight!
Previous post Reading in Raleigh!


Should you throw away bad code?
In an ideal world, the answer would usually be a resounding yes. In an ideal world I would also get paid more to do less work – That isn't happening either.
It can be difficult to know when you should rewrite and when you should just leave it alone.

How do you work with really bad code?

Like I mentioned in my previous post, there are no generic software development plan templates. In the same way, there isn't really some simple software development plan that you can just take and run with. Each company has different needs and each development team does things differently. In the long run, patterns will develop and development methodologies will tend towards the same established methodologies, but they are always subtly different.

D-backs Starting Lineup & Game Preview: Corbin on Hill Against Jon Lester, Rosales Starts at Shortstop
The Diamondbacks are in Chicago today to start a three-game series against the Cubs (series preview). The series comes at a time of inconsistent performance from the D-backs. They finished July with a 10-14 record, the only sub-.500 month of the 2017 season. And August doesn't get any easier for the Snakes as they face the prospect of the toughest schedule of the second half in all of MLB. A series win in Chicago would be a great way to start the final month of the summer.
Patrick Corbin (8-9, 4.36 ERA) will take the mound today for the D-backs. Believe it or not, he's been the D-backs best starter since the All-Star break with a 2.45 ERA in 18 1/3 innings. Yep, even better than Zack Greinke.
I just peeked at the Cubs starting lineup today and, as you might have guessed, they're rolling out all right-handed batters against Corbin, with the exception of first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Corbin has a .309/.362/.510 slash-line against righties so far this year. It's going to be important for him to be efficient with his pitches today, throwing strikes but moving the ball around in the zone to try and limit hard contact against this potent righty-heavy lineup.
The Cubs roll out LHP Jon Lester (8-6, 3.88 ERA) today against the D-backs. Righties are slashing .256/.325/.458 against Lester, compared to .184/.207/.262 verses lefties. That means Jake Lamb will not be in the starting lineup today and, instead, we'll see newly acquired D-back Adam Rosales starting at shortstop and hitting third in the lineup. Rosales isn't typically a guy you'd see hitting in the middle of the order — he's primarily hit ninth this season with Oakland — but he does have a .338 OBP verses left-handed pitchers.

Q: Not able to connect aboutToQuit signal from QApplication I have a Qt Application which i want to show in the System Tray.
My desired behavior is that if the user clicks the close button of the Application than that application hides in the system tray but does not exit.
My code in main.cpp is :
 if (QSystemTrayIcon::isSystemTrayAvailable())
  {
    QObject *root = engine.rootObjects().at(0);
    QQuickWindow *window = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow *>(root);
    QAction *showAction = new QAction(QObject::tr("Show"), window);
    window->connect(showAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), window, SLOT(show()));
    QAction *hideAction = new QAction(QObject::tr("Hide"), window);
    window->connect(hideAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), window, SLOT(hide()));
    QAction *quitAction = new QAction(QObject::tr("&Quit"), window);
    window->connect(quitAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), qApp, SLOT(quit()));
    QObject::connect(qApp,SIGNAL(aboutToQuit()),window,SLOT(hide()));

    QMenu *trayIconMenu = new QMenu();
    trayIconMenu->addAction(showAction);
    trayIconMenu->addAction(hideAction);
    trayIconMenu->addSeparator();
    trayIconMenu->addAction(quitAction);

    QSystemTrayIcon *trayIcon = new QSystemTrayIcon(window);
    trayIcon->setContextMenu(trayIconMenu);
    trayIcon->setToolTip("xxx");
    trayIcon->setIcon(QIcon("xxx.png"));
    trayIcon->show();
   }

Now i am not able to connect the aboutToQuit signal and hide the application in the tray i.e
QObject::connect(qApp,SIGNAL(aboutToQuit()),window,SLOT(hide())); line is not correct but i am not getting any errors etc.
Apart from this everything is working correctly.Can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong and how can i achieve my desired behavior.
I would also like to know whether i have got the right signal to connect or whether i should try connecting to some other signal.
Thanks in advance.

A: You can use :
qApp()->setQuitOnLastWindowClosed(false);

quitOnLastWindowClosed property is true by default which causes your application to quit when the last window is closed. By setting it to false, your application does not terminate when you close the main window.
You can also reimplement closeEvent of your main widget, ignore the close event and just hide your window :
void MainWindow::closeEvent(QCloseEvent * e)
{
    e->ignore();
    this->hide();
}

I specialise in applied microeconomics, particularly interested in labour economics. Early in my career I focused on the role of institutions and labour market outcomes, looking at differences between union and nonunion workers, public and private sector workers, and the subjective wellbeing of retirees and retirement behaviour. More recently I have been looking at the interactions of health and labour economics, particularly the effect of different kinds of labour contracts on stress and the health of workers. In addition, I have been interested in the educational and skills mismatch in the labour market, examining its incidence, causes and effects.
I am an Associate Editor of the British Journal of Industrial Relations and a Research Fellow of the IZA.
In addition to working at the Unversity of Aberdeen, I have held previous positions at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the US Social Security Administration, as well as visiting positions at Louisiana State University, University of Potsdam, Giessen University and the National Institute for Labour Studies at Flinders University in Australia.

Mia Khalifa () (Beirut, Líban, 10 de febrer de 1993) és una personalitat estatunidenca nascuda al Líban dels mitjans de comunicació social, comentarista d'esports i model de webcam, especialment coneguda per haver sigut una actriu porno entre 2014 i 2015.

Nascuda al Líban, l'any 2000 es va traslladar als Estats Units amb la seua família, on posteriorment es va matricular en història a la Universitat de Texas. Va debutar al cinema porno a l'octubre de 2014. El 28 de desembre d'aquest mateix any, PornHub va revelar que, als seus 21 anys, va aconseguir ascendir al núm. 1 en el rànquing d'estreles porno del lloc web, reemplaçant Lisa Ann. També ha rebut moltes critiques de l'Orient Mitjà i del seu propi país respecte de la seva ocupació. Pel seu èxit, el grup Timeflies li va dedicar un rap i ella els el va agrair amb un ball de tipus twerking.
