Sterling says that citizen reporters are ready to phone in their reports and that he's done this in the past with dramatic impact. Sterling adds, "It would be irresponsible to present anything but hurricane information. I don't know how any station on the East Coast could run infomercials or yell at the Democrats when a hurricane is endangering lives, stopping air traffic to all of Florida, and blocking the interstates. We will have eye level reports from people in Florida."…..Kentucky sports media figure Matt Jones – who hosts the regionally syndicated "Kentucky Sports Radio" program based at iHeartMedia's WLAP-AM, Lexington – is considering a run for the U.S. Senate seat held by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Jones says, "We're in an era where people want you to be honest. I think I said on the radio I almost wore a sweatshirt and shorts here today because that's what I put on. I think people like that. It's the biggest lesson of Donald Trump more than anything else. It's this idea that people like you to say what you think, be authentic. Democrats don't do that a lot. I'm going to try to do it." Jones was let go by WLEX-TV, Lexington in July after his senatorial ambitions became known…..The recent changes at iHeartMedia's sports talk KGME, Phoenix "FOX Sports 910" bumped "The Dan Patrick Show" off the schedule but the program is landing on another station in The Valley.

Darlene Love Is This Week's Guest on Harrison Podcast. One of the most prolific singers to emerge from the 1960s-era "girl groups" of record producer Phil Spector's legendary Wall of Sound – Darlene Love – is this week's guest on the award-winning PodcastOne series "The Michael Harrison Interview." Since being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2011 and accepting the Best Documentary Oscar for the 2013 film, "20 feet from Stardom," and the GRAMMY for its soundtrack, her remarkable career has been full steam ahead. At 78, she sells out shows worldwide, captivating audiences with her warm, gracious stage presence and sensational performances. The New York Times describes Darlene Love as having a voice "embedded in the history of rock and roll as Eric Clapton's guitar and Bob Dylan's lyrics." Harrison says, "I am truly thrilled to have Ms. Love as a guest on the podcast. Her life story is truly amazing. She went from being a pioneer of the girl group genre to an unheralded and underpaid voice that launched some of the most iconic hits of all time to becoming a housekeeper to make ends meet to climbing her way out of obscurity and finally gaining worldwide recognition for her truly special contributions to popular culture – along the way also performing as a Broadway and film actress in a career that spans six decades of dynamic history!" Harrison and Love discuss the early days of rock and pop, along with the singer's experience as the daughter of a minister growing up in Los Angeles and Texas as a young African American female trying to establish a career in the music business. In addition to her insights into race relations in America, Love talks about how she keeps herself in shape in her late-70s for the rigorous career that she continues to maintain. By the way, today marks the 57th anniversary of the release of, "He's a Rebel," by the Crystals on August 27, 1962 which was actually recorded by Darlene Love and the Blossoms and never officially credited to them until years later.

Big Changes at KNBR, San Francisco as Gary Radnich and Bob Fitzgerald Exit. Sports talk fans in the Bay Area are shocked by the unexpected tweet from KNBR, San Francisco personality Gary Radnich in which the 27-year station host announced he's retiring immediately. He wrote, "Plan was to retire at the end of the year but with my 70th birthday ahead it makes sense now. Thank you audience for 36 years of TV-Radio!" Radnich has been partnered with Larry Krueger in middays. There's considerable scuttlebutt in the Bay Area as to whether the sudden retirement was really Radnich being forced out by station owner Cumulus Media. The announcement comes on the heels of a report in The Athletic that Bay Area sports personality Greg Papa is exiting Entercom's crosstown KGMZ-FM "95.7 The Game" for an on-air position with KNBR (he'd also handle radio play-by-play for 49ers games). For what it's worth, The Athletic writes that Radnich was "let go." Shortly after the Radnich news hit, we learned that KNBR also is parting ways with Bob Fitzgerald, who co-hosted the "Fitz and Brooks" show with Rod Brooks. It appears Brooks will continue hosting the show solo.
Drew Horowitz to Retire from Hubbard Radio. At the end of 2019, radio executive Drew Horowitz will retire from his president and COO position with Hubbard Radio.

Horowitz began his sales career with WFYR-FM, Chicago in 1976. During his career he served as chief of Lakeshore Communications, GSM at WCLR (now WTMX) including 19 years with Bonneville. In a memo to Hubbard staffers, chair and CEO Ginny Morris says, "Drew came to Hubbard Radio as a part of our transformational acquisition of four Bonneville markets in 2011. Since that time, Drew has been instrumental in helping us further grow the company as we added clusters in Phoenix and Seattle, bolstered our cluster in St. Louis and most recently, acquired our operations in West Palm Beach."

NEW YORK — Take a look at real power. The picture here shows the most powerful people in daytime radio in 1955. Mary Margaret McBride (left) and Pegeen Fitzgerald (right).
Seven secretaries
It took seven secretaries to answer the mail received by Mary Margaret McBride. Her daily NBC/ABC network show, heard on stations like WOR New York, set the agenda for America's conversation. She did not do a cooking show or a nice show. She was the toughest interviewer in radio and scored the biggest guests. They were afraid to not go on her show. The big guests also did whatever she told them to do.

Emmis Pursues Zoning Change for Land Containing WFNI, Indianapolis Towers. A report in the Indianapolis Business Journal says the 70-acre parcel of land owned by Emmis and currently home to the six-tower array of sports talk WFNI "1070 The Fan" (formerly WIBC-AM) could fetch as much as $28 million in a sale. The land is near a proposed I-65 freeway exit that should be open in 2021 and the zoning change from light industrial to urban business would enhance the value. If Emmis is able to sell the land, it would have to relocate the towers for WFNI, but with a possible gross of $28 million, it would be well worth it for Emmis.

Attorney: Houston Sports Talker's Career Hampered by iHeartMedia Bankruptcy. According to Houston attorney Ed Burwell (as reported in the Houston Chronicle), his client, sports talk personality Jayson Braddock's ability to work in the market is being adversely affected by the iHeartMedia bankruptcy. Braddock was let go from iHM's sports talk KBME in June with the company citing revenue and ratings shortfalls. However, Burwell says ratings for the first five months of 2018 indicated Braddock's show was the highest-rated of the station's programs. Complicating matters is that he was offered work at crosstown Gow Media, but iHM threatened to enforce his no-compete clause. Burwell says any legal action he could take to allow Braddock to fight his case is complicated by having to go through the bankruptcy court. In the end, Braddock may be forced stay unemployed to wait out his no-compete. Read the story here.

Walter Sterling Launches 'Sterling Express' – a Novel New Form of 'On Demand' Programming. Ever since radio consultant Walter Sabo assumed the air name "Walter M. Sterling" several years ago and launched a Sunday night show on WPHT, Philadelphia, he has begun to take on the yappy characteristics of a radio talk show host who continues to incessantly comment on things even after the mic has been turned off. Sterling, whose weekly show "Sterling on Sunday" is now heard on almost 60 stations, tells TALKERS, "My wife Katie asks me to please not do my show in the house. Do it on the air." In a recent phone conversation with his old friend Michael Harrison, the TALKERS publisher agreed with Katie, telling Sterling, "Geez, Walter, do I have to hear a commentary about life every time we talk on the phone? You're starting to sound like a talk show host." "The problem," explained Sterling, "is that I'm only on once a week, yet every day dozens of emails and notes come in wondering why I'm not on daily." Harrison replied, "Well, when I talk to you on the phone now, it's like hearing an abbreviated, fast-food version of your radio show… sort of like those restaurant and hotel 'outposts' called 'express' versions of their larger incarnations. I'm going to begin referring to my phone conversations with you as 'Sterling Express.' You should make yourself available to your P1 listeners this way during the week. Call 'em on the phone and bend their ears for a few minutes." Sterling replied, "That's a great idea!" This past Sunday night "Sterling on Sunday" listeners got to sign up for the Sterling Express. Sterling told the first 10 callers he would call them during the week and perform a Sterling Express, one-on-one show. Sterling will call 10 listeners per week and share his "deep thoughts" with them during the course of a few minutes — Express! Sterling says, "Katie and the kids will be a lot happier that I'm not doing the show in the house and listeners get their wish of hearing me all week." He plans to turn recordings of Sterling Express into a weekly podcast to serve as a companion piece to his "Midnight Misfits" podcast. "Sterling on Sunday" is distributed by Westwood One. The website is www.waltermsterling.com.

Analysts are saying the announcement of the sale of 3,126,147 shares of its Class A common stock – shares held by the Bordes family and received in the Greater Media deal – at $7.50 per share, combined with Beasley Media Group's intent to purchase country WXTU, Philadelphia for $38 million in cash has sent the company's stock price down 17.4% (as of Tuesday) to $7.35 per share.

At the same time, the company has set the price of the "Bordes family" stock to the public at $7.50 per share.

Speaking of competition in the broader media marketplace, the Federal Communications Commission issues a public notice seeking comment from the industry on the "status of competition in the marketplace for delivery of audio programming." Recent legislation requires "the Commission publish a Communications Marketplace Report in the last quarter of every even numbered year. Among other things, the biennial Communications Marketplace Report requires that the Commission assess the state of competition in the communications marketplace, including competition to deliver audio service among broadcast stations, satellite radio, and entities that provide audio content via the internet and to mobile devices."

The notice continues: "Accordingly, this Public Notice seeks input on the state of competition in the marketplace for the delivery of audio programming as it would relate to the overall goal of providing the required Communications Marketplace Report to Congress. This Public Notice requests comment on the criteria or metrics that could be used to evaluate the state of competition in the audio programming marketplace, as well as comment and information on industry data, competitive dynamics, and trending factors. For example, commenters are invited to submit the following data and information related to participants in the marketplace for the delivery of audio programming, including, but not limited to, terrestrial radio broadcasters (i.e., AM and FM radio stations), satellite radio providers, and entities that provide audio programming over the Internet and to mobile devices (collectively, Audio Marketplace Participants): 1) identification and ownership of key Audio Marketplace Participants, as well as the business models and competitive strategies they use; 2) trends in service offerings, pricing, and consumer behavior; 3) the extent of competition among Audio Marketplace Participants, including intramodal competition (i.e., competition among providers of the same type, such as terrestrial radio broadcast stations) and intermodal competition (i.e., competition among providers of different types, such as terrestrial radio broadcast stations and satellite radio providers); 4) ratings, subscribership, and revenue information, for the marketplace as a whole and for individual Audio Marketplace Participants; 5) capital investment, innovation, and the deployment of advanced technology; 6) requirements for entry into the marketplace; and 7) recent entry into and exit from the marketplace."

It wasn't long ago that going on vacation also meant getting some kind of hideous sickness. I would either get the flu or a sinus infection, which is no way to have a fun time on a trip. Nobody wants something inconvenient to interrupt their travel goodness, especially something that can be prevented. So, how can you make sure you don't end up all bedridden and stuffy?
Antibacterial wipes – These are the best. They don't take up space in your 3-1-1 bag like hand sanitizer and they can be used on hands faces, seats, tray tables and more! Anything that you think might be coated in germs, you can wipe down with them. These are even more useful if you travel with children, since they also seem to have sticky hands or a dirty face.
Emergen-C and Airborne – Both of these pack a wallop of vitamin C and can prevent you from getting sick or can help you get over your sickness so much faster. I tend to go with Emergen-C, because they come in a lot more flavors, you can carry many packets in less space and they easily dissolve in a bottle of water (which you probably have with you anyway). Make sure you take a sip of water from it first, otherwise you will end up with it all over your pants when the powder starts to bubble up in the water. Believe me, that it is not cool. Airborne is easier used when you have a glass available, unless you want to crush it up to put in your bottle, which can be almost impossible.
Charcoal tablets – Keep from getting food poisoning or other food-related nasties with these. Charcoal helps to neutralize bacteria that your body can't handle from new foods. These are really helpful when going out of the country and eating ethnic foods you aren't used to or when dining at food carts in foreign countries. While they may be perfectly safe – and usually are – but your body may not be accustomed to some of the ingredients or products used to cook them.
Wash your hands – This is such a given, but people probably don't do it enough when they travel. If you must touch your face, it's much better to do it with clean hands than dirty hands. If you aren't near a place where you can wash them, employ those antibacterial wipes you packed.
Olive leaf – I started taking olive leaf capsules years ago and get sick very infrequently. It boosts your immune system naturally. Unfortunately, they can be difficult to find. Your local GMC store or natural food store probably has them. You can also purchase them online. If you can't find them, Acai works, too. It's a super antioxidant. These are both great to take every day, not just while on vacation.
Get enough sleep – A lot of people tend to forget that vacation is also a time to get in some relaxation. Sure, you may be like me and want to pack as much stuff into your time away, but make sure you make time to do nothing and recharge. If you travel in the fall and winter it's so much easier to do, because hours for shops and attractions are often shorter and force you to take some downtime. If you are traveling the summer and times when stuff is open longer, make sure to build some 'do nothing' time into your schedule.
Papaya enzyme – These chewable tablets are a must in my travel bag. If you find that something you ate doesn't sit well with you or you have a habit of overindulging in the local cuisine, papaya aids digestion, so you won't feel like you have a rock in your stomach and it also helps to stave off heartburn if you're prone to it. You can find papaya in pretty much any drugstore with vitamins. Of course, eating fresh fruits and veggies is also a good choice, and trying not to stuff yourself at each meal.
Ibuprofen or other pain reliever – Walking around all day can be stressful on your feet and back. Keep a stash of pain relievers with you, just in case. If nothing else, they can also be used to shoo away a headache.
Drink water – Water is good for flushing out toxins and keeping you hydrated. Drink as much as possible to keep healthy, just like you would at home. Bring along a reusable water bottle to make sure you have some with you everywhere you go. Getting sick from dehydration can land you in the hospital, so don't forget your liquids.
Don't be a drunk – As fun as it can be to hit the bars and try some new brews and exotic cocktails, drinking too much can also take a toll on your body. Try to limit yourself to just a few drinks and not every day. You'll definitely feel the difference in how much better you feel when you aren't hungover. Staying sober has gotten less people in trouble on vacation than getting rip-roaring drunk, too. Being arrested in a foreign country is scary…and having a cap on how much you can drink can save you money, too. It's a lot easier to stick to a budget when you can still remember your name and count.
Stay healthy, so you can keep having fun like this!
Many a vacation has been ruined by illness that could have been prevented. I have had more than my fair share, too. Hopefully this will help you travel healthier and keep you prepared for whatever may happen. Do you have tips that have helped you travel without sickness? Share!

Government 'cannot completely nullify' pressure on energy costs, minister says
It is not possible to "completely nullify" the pressures on energy prices, a Cabinet minister has said, as demonstrators gather across the country over the cost-of-living crisis.
But Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis said the Government is "looking… across the board at what we're doing with the public's money", and will "put in the support that we can, as and when we can" to ease the sting of rising prices.
The People's Assembly said it expects thousands of protesters to take to the streets in dozens of locations throughout the UK to highlight those suffering "real hardships" due to the combination of a hike in fuel and food costs, inflation and low pay.
Unions have complained that Chancellor Rishi Sunak's spring statement last week did nothing to allay fears about soaring fuel bills and rising inflation, with the TUC calling for an emergency budget to help families.
The lifting of the energy price cap on Friday will create an "impossible choice for many", to eat or heat, said the People's Assembly.
A spokesperson for the campaign group said: "Public outrage over the cost-of-living crisis is growing fast, and our response is gaining momentum."
Speaking to Sky News, Mr Lewis said the Government cannot "completely nullify" the impacts of global pressure on energy prices, but ministers will put in supportive measures where possible.
"I know, even this week, where I live we're on oil-fired heating, I've seen that change directly in the price of oil – and actually the ability to get it," he said.
We tell them about children going hungry and the Government shrug, politically speaking
laura pidcock
"At home, my family went a few days where we had no oil, just waiting for the suppliers and seeing the very big increase in price on that.
"We can't completely nullify the impacts of the global markets and global pressure, for example, on energy, which is obviously the main focus at the moment for most people.
"But we will put in the support that we can, as and when we can, as I say, looking… across the board at what we're doing with the public's money."
On Saturday there will be a protest outside Downing Street in London, with similar events in towns and cities including Birmingham, Bournemouth, Bristol, Cardiff, Cambridge, Coventry, Derby, Doncaster, Glasgow, Hanley, Hull, Ipswich, Lancaster, Leicester, Liverpool , Manchester, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Preston, Redcar, Sheffield and Southampton.
Former Labor leader Jeremy Corbyn, who will be speaking at the London demonstration, said: "With rising fuel, food and energy bills, the soaring cost of living is pushing millions into poverty, and the disgusting treatment of the sacked P&O workers needs urgent action from the Government.
"Demonstrations will be taking place all over the country, with thousands of people coming together to demand redistribution of wealth and power and decent wages for all, as well as justice for P&O workers."
Laura Pidcock, national secretary of the People's Assembly, who will be speaking at the Liverpool protest, said: "What people are experiencing is intolerable.
"No matter how patiently we explain that Government inaction over soaring energy and fuel costs and sharply rising food prices is deepening poverty, misery and hunger, it is met with at best indifference and at worst more of the same.
"The truth is they are so wedded to the economic system we have, comfortable with a hands-off approach, that even when markets are obviously failing us, they continue with business as usual.
"We tell them about children going hungry and the Government shrug, politically speaking."
Labor has repeatedly called for a windfall tax on oil and gas companies, which it says could generate funds to help struggling families and pensioners with energy bills.
Mr Lewis told Sky News that such a levy may sound like "an attractive option" but it "won't necessarily have the impact on global prices that people think it will".

"I do understand why people look to that… Labor have been making this point for a while. What they're not able to answer… is the reality of what is happening in the energy market," he said.
"First of all, this is a global pressure, we're seeing this around the world. So what we do with companies here in the UK won't have the impact of changing the whole global energy market prices, but we should also remember that those energy companies here in the UK are already paying about 40% tax – that's roughly double what most sectors in the UK economy are paying.
"They employ hundreds of thousands of people in the UK… they are investing hugely in more work to develop more energy and produce more energy. They need the income that they have to make those investments, and the part they play in the economy paying salaries.
"So a windfall tax on those companies won't necessarily have the impact on global prices that people think it will. It can have an impact on some domestic prices by taxing higher a sector that is already very, very highly taxed.
"So although… it sounds a wider attractive option, in the economic context it doesn't really work. And that's why we've looked at what can we do that will have a beneficial impact directly for people in their pockets."
The Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) is planning further protests in the coming days over the sacking of almost 800 P&O seafarers.
The Insolvency Service announced on Friday that it has launched formal criminal and civil investigations into the circumstances surrounding the redundancies.
RMT general secretary Mick Lynch said there were "clear grounds" to detain P&O's ships.

Home / MLB / Comerica Park
My visit to Comerica Park was not planned as I only purchased tickets the morning of the game. I was in Chicago and had a few days left on vacation so I trekked to Detroit after checking the schedule and seeing a game that evening.
I attended a game where the Tigers were hosting the San Francisco Giants and an overflow of talent was definitely on display that evening. From Miguel Cabrera to Buster Posey there was not a moment of disappointment that night.
Here are my thoughts on Comerica Park.
The thing that stood out t most was the All-Star match-up between the Giants and Tigers. This was my first opportunity to see Miguel Cabrera and Buster Posey in person who are both future hall of fame players.
The ballpark has some amazing sight lines of Detroit's downtown skyline. The next door next door neighbor Ford Field is also visible over the left field wall.
The statues in left-center field are also nice attractions at the ballpark and draws a countless number of fans for photo opportunities. Some true legends of the game have played for the Tigers so you never know who you might see memorialized in monument park.
The number of stadium activities outnumber most parks. There is everything from rideable tigers to the center field fountain. The field design is also not like other stadiums as there is strip of dirt that goes from the mound to the plate.
The stadium concessions have a lot of variety and comes at a reasonable price. Also the tickets are relatively cheap so finding tickets regardless of when the game occurs shouldn't be difficult.
The transportation to and from the stadium was not as fluid as it could have been. Utilizing Lyft or Uber to get to the game should be considered. The parking near the stadium is roughly $25 but you can also find some free options in the surrounding neighborhoods that will require some walking.
The rain delay that occurred during the 3rd inning was the biggest drawback. Of course it couldn't be stopped or diverted but it did bring laughter as the ground crew lost control of the tarp.
The places to stay dry during rain delays are lacking. While standing in the concourse the stadium attendants were still in the elements. Also, the stadium crew opened the stadium gates and let stadium patrons come and go at their leisure. Upon my re-entry my ticket wasn't checked or did I have to go through security. The delay happened during the 3rd inning so there was a lot of game yet to be played.
I would give Comerica Park an 8 out of 10. A true to the game venue that has several odes to the past. Provides a variety of food options that cheap and worth trying. Ticket prices are very inexpensive so accessibility is very high.

Q: Deploy Visual studio class library project to Azure I am trying to deploy an existing .NET project from visual studio to Azure. The project output type is listed as class library under properties-> Application on visual studio. The web tab under project properties has a start url and project url listed. I am not very familiar with Azure, Should this project be published as a app service, cloud service or anything else on Azure. The project uses a database which I have already created on Azure.

A: You are either having web application project or web api project ( this does not have any UI layer and it is purely a service.)
So in the web application case you will be using the azure web app service and for the api/ webservice case you will use api apps.

Q: splitting one vector into almost-equal sub vectors then storing into another vector I am trying to split one large user given vector into x sub vectors. Everything "seems" to work as it should but the outcome is not right.
std::vector<std::vector<std::string>> split_to_sub_vectors(std::vector<std::string> initial_vector, int thread_amount) {

    std::cout << "initial size: " << initial_vector.size() << std::endl;

    int size_for_splitting = initial_vector.size();

    std::cout << "split amount: " << thread_amount << std::endl;

    int r = size_for_splitting / thread_amount;
    std::cout << r << " need to be in each sub-vector" << std::endl;

    std::cout << "There will be: " << size_for_splitting % thread_amount << " element remaining" << std::endl;

    std::vector<std::vector<std::string>> perm_vector;

    for (int x = 0; x < thread_amount; x++) {

        std::vector<std::string> temp_vector;

        for (int a = 0; a < r; a++) {

            hm++;
            std::cout << hm << std::endl;
            temp_vector.push_back(initial_vector[hm]);
        }

        perm_vector.push_back(temp_vector);

    }

    std::cout << "Size of vector holding the sub vectors after splitting: " << perm_vector.size() << std::endl;

    std::cout << perm_vector[0][0];
    return perm_vector;

Running this code will give you this:
initial size: 7
split amount: 3
2 need to be in each sub-vector
There will be: 1 element remaining
1
2
3
4
5
6
Size of vector holding the sub vectors after splitting: 3
2

the vector i pass in is called test holds strings and is like so:
    test.push_back("1");
    test.push_back("2");
    test.push_back("3");
    test.push_back("4");
    test.push_back("5");
    test.push_back("6");
    test.push_back("7");

Everything up until the last print statement seems to work. So perm_vector should hold 3 sub vectors containing every element in the main user given vector. When you print perm_vector[0][0] you would expect the output to be "1", but it is 2, also 7 should not be in the vector and 6 should be the last one but since it starts at 2, 7 is in it. the counter is defined outside of the function and it starts at 0. My question is why is it starting at 2?

A: I see two problems in your code:

*

*hm is incremented before use. Furthermore, there is no point in making it global.

*size_for_splitting is the result of an integer division, so the remainder is missing

I modified your code so the issues with hm are solved. I get the intended output <<1, 2>, <3, 4>, <5, 6>>, the 7 is missing as mentioned above.
#include <iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<string>

std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > split_to_sub_vectors(std::vector<std::string> initial_vector, int thread_amount) {
    std::cout << "initial size: " << initial_vector.size() << std::endl;
    int size_for_splitting = initial_vector.size();
    std::cout << "split amount: " << thread_amount << std::endl;

    int r = size_for_splitting / thread_amount;
    std::cout << r << " need to be in each sub-vector" << std::endl;
    std::cout << "There will be: " << size_for_splitting % thread_amount << " element remaining" << std::endl;

    std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > perm_vector;

    int hm = 0;
    for (int x = 0; x < thread_amount; x++) {
        std::vector<std::string> temp_vector;
        for (int a = 0; a < r; a++) {
            std::cout << hm << std::endl;
            temp_vector.push_back(initial_vector[hm]);
            hm++;
        }
        perm_vector.push_back(temp_vector);
    }

    std::cout << "Size of vector holding the sub vectors after splitting: " << perm_vector.size() << std::endl;
    return perm_vector;
}

int main()
{
    std::vector<std::string> test;
    test.push_back("1");
    test.push_back("2");
    test.push_back("3");
    test.push_back("4");
    test.push_back("5");
    test.push_back("6");
    test.push_back("7");
    std::vector<std::vector<std::string> > out = split_to_sub_vectors(test, 3);
}

A: Even if hm starts at 0, you increment it before you use it.  Probably if you increment at the end of the internal for loop, you might get the output you expect.  It's hard to tell the problem because I don't know what's in 'initial_vector', I assume initial_vector[0] = 1?

A: If you use the range-v3 library, implementing this logic becomes much easier, and less error prone:
#include <range/v3/all.hpp>

namespace rs = ranges;
namespace rv = ranges::views;

auto split_to_sub_vectors(std::vector<std::string> initial_vector, int thread_amount) {

    auto res = initial_vector
             | rv::chunk(thread_amount)
             | rs::to<std::vector<std::vector<std::string>>>;

    if (res.back().size() != thread_amount)
         res.pop_back();

    return res;
}

Here's a demo.

Q: Foreign chroot with QEMU user mode, binaries not found unless full path is specified I am setting up a foreign chroot environment to build for architectures other than amd64 from a GitLab CI image. Steps were mostly taken from https://www.hellion.org.uk/blog/posts/foreign-chroots-with-schroot-and-qemu/, except that I am skipping the schroot/sbuild part.
- export CROSS_ARCH=armhf
- export CROSS_ROOT=/opt/chroot/$CROSS_ARCH
- export DISTRO=stretch
- export CROSS_MIRROR=http://deb.debian.org/debian/
- apt-get update
- apt-get -y install debootstrap qemu-user-static binfmt-support
- mkdir -p $CROSS_ROOT
- debootstrap --variant=buildd --include=fakeroot,build-essential --arch=$CROSS_ARCH --foreign $DISTRO $CROSS_ROOT $CROSS_MIRROR
- mkdir -p $CROSS_ROOT/usr/bin
- cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static $CROSS_ROOT/usr/bin/
- chroot $CROSS_ROOT ./debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage

When I now try to run a command in the target environment like this:
chroot $CROSS_ROOT qemu-arm-static uname -a

the command exits with an error (nonzero exit status), but no error message is printed. It works, however, if I specify the path:
chroot $CROSS_ROOT qemu-arm-static /bin/uname -a

And it gives me the following output, which indicates I am running inside the armhf environment:
Linux runner--azerasq-project-40807358-concurrent-0 5.4.109+ #1 SMP Wed Jun 16 20:00:10 PDT 2021 armv7l GNU/Linux

Oddly, the following works:
chroot $CROSS_ROOT qemu-arm-static /bin/bash -c "uname -a"

i.e. full path to bash, but no path for the command after -c.
Suspecting that there could be something wrong with $PATH, I ran:
chroot $CROSS_ROOT qemu-arm-static /bin/bash -c set

I get all of the GitLab-specific variables, as well as a bunch of others, including the following ones:
MACHTYPE=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

When I run
chroot $CROSS_ROOT qemu-arm-static /usr/bin/env

some variables (such as $MACHTYPE) are missing but $PATH is the same. So $PATH seems to be set correctly, and a diff of the outputs (after sorting) does not indicate anything that looks related – the extra variables for bash -c set look mostly bash-specific.
Why won't qemu-arm-static accept binaries without a full path if they are on $PATH? Where else should I look to debug?

A:
Why won't qemu-arm-static accept binaries without a full path if they
are on $PATH?

Because qemu-user is not a shell, it doesn't have code that would search the PATH. This is the piece of qemu-user code that opens executable image when it's started as in the examples that you give, and as you can see here exec_path comes directly from the command line.
On the other hand you can install qemu-user as a binfmt-misc handler, in which case the shell will do the PATH search and the kernel will invoke qemu-user with an open file descriptor of the executable file in the AT_EXECFD entry in the aux vectors.

Each year Adobe's Max conference is a showcase of the company's newest products and future directions. This year in San Diego, California was the largest yet, with over 10,000 attendees, including yours truly. The scale of the event is in keeping with the growing size of Adobe's product portfolio, which now includes dozens of products and services spanning design, video, illustration, photography, and more. Central to the conference were the themes of Adobe's solutions increasingly becoming what it calls cloud-native, and its expanding use of all-things AI, wrapped into a rubric it calls Project Sensei.
Initially, Creative Cloud was primarily a way to move Adobe from licensed software to a subscription model. Increasingly, though, it is moving to cloud access for assets of all kinds. A growing drive to support non-local group collaboration has helped speed this along. Its Cloud Native initiative takes this even further, and features applications and assets that are natively available and accessible on any platform, from any place. Some of Adobe's newer tools, like XD and Project Spark typify this. In addition, Adobe showed off a cloud-based Lightroom-like project, codenamed Nimbus, that will be available for beta testing next year.
Some of Photoshop's coolest features, like Content-Aware Fill have used AI technology to do their magic, but with its 2017 product line, Adobe is greatly expanding its use of various kinds of machine learning and AI. For example, Adobe Stock is now equipped with Visual Search, so you can look for images that are similar to one that you like, but perhaps can't license. Adobe even sneak peeked the ability to let you visual search on a selection out of your Photoshop document, so you could mock up a composition somewhat like what you're looking for and have Adobe track down a finished version that is available for license.
Even experienced Photoshop users can be daunted by the difficulty of importing and placing realistic 3D models in their scenes. 3D tools that produce commercial quality renderings are complicated, as is the process of acquiring models and materials that work together with lighting simulation to create a scene. Adobe demonstrated a unique new "all-in-one" solution, code-named Project Felix, that it expects to beta in 2017. With Felix, a designer can find models in Adobe Stock (or elsewhere), apply a selection of materials (many of which will also be in Adobe Stock), and then place them on a background.
Adobe has used some of its Sensei magic to allow automatic object placement on the ground plane of a background image, and to allow realistic lighting by creating a sort-of light probe from the background image. Another piece of magic is a Magic Wand that allows intelligent selection of portions of a 3D object. This is a big deal for anyone who has ever tried to re-color a 3D model they got from a typical online library.
Of course, the dark side of templates will be that zillions of pieces of content will now look suspiciously similar, just like we saw when people started using Word and PowerPoint templates.
In a similar vein, groups producing a large number of designs using Adobe's innovative XD (eXperience Design) app, which supports rapid design and prototyping of multi-platform interfaces, can now share libraries of objects, colors, and other assets. Even better, changing a color or font in the library can change it across all the places where it is used. That allows design teams or companies to treat libraries like style guides, to insure consistency in visual design across projects without adding a lot of manual labor. Adobe has also added live device preview to XD, so you can see your prototype running on whatever physical device you have available to test it on. Since it is actually a full version of XD running on the device, any changes you make in your prototype are immediately reflected on the device.
Version control is another issue that designers, just like software developers, have struggled with forever. Adobe showed off a clever idea for a new visual timeline feature in XD. It allows any member of the team to use a slider to go back in time (a bit like the history slider in Google Earth) and see what the design looked like at that time. This can be useful in case you want to resurrect elements of an older design, as you can simply copy them and then paste them into the current version. Along with that, Adobe is looking at a true cloud-native system for XD, that would allow simultaneous editing of the same design document by multiple authors, with annotations on which art boards are being worked on by which contributors.
Search (a la Office 2016's new toolbar Help search) makes for a quick way to find and select a tool or command by name. You can also search through your layers, if you're the type who uses a ton of them. The Learn tab under Search is a unified way to search all of Adobe's official online Photoshop documentation — including tutorials.
This is a huge leap forward compared with some prior releases, where searching help seemed to find mostly arbitrary bits of user-contributed suggestions. As you'd expect, you can also search Adobe Stock for images tagged with a particular keyword. For those who collaborate with others using Libraries, you can now follow a library, giving you read-only access and having the libraries contents automatically updated when they change.
While this year's Max didn't have any single massive breakthrough — although the undercurrent of AI-everywhere and real-time collaboration certainly qualify as major themes — Adobe continues to push the envelope in enough directions that serious creatives will have plenty to look forward to as the 2017 version of its Creative Cloud rolls out.
