Q: std::vector and c-style arrays I am experimenting with OpenCL to increase the speed of our software. We work with maps a lot and, to simplify, represent a map as a std::vector< std::vector >. The OpenCL API takes raw c-style pointers as arguments, for example int* in the case above.
My questions:

*

*Are there implementation guarantees in the stl that vector is, internally, consecutive in memory?

*Can I safely cast a std::vector to int* and expect that to work?

*In the case of a vector of vectors, can I still assume this holds true? I would expect the vector to hold other state data, or alignment issues, or maybe something else...

*What is the best way to approach this? Write a custom 2d data structure that holds an internal, contiguous-in-memory buffer and work with that? I'd have to copy to/from vectors a lot...

Thanks.

A:

*

*Are there implementation guarantees    in the stl that vector is,
  internally, consecutive in memory

Yes, it is a dynamic array. Standard guarantees that the objects inside vector are stored consecutively.

*

*Can I safely cast a std::vector to int* and expect that to work?

No, but you can use begin() and use that as the pointer.

*

*Are there implementation guarantees    in the stl that vector is,
  internally, consecutive in memory

No, since vector may contain some internal member variables the whole 2D array will not be continuos memory location

A:
Are there implementation guarantees in the stl that vector is, internally, consecutive in memory?

Although I cannot quote the standards here, I have seen code in high-quality libraries assuming this layout (namely, POCO).

Can I safely cast a std::vector to int* and expect that to work?

Specifically, you cannot recast the vector itself. But, I have seen the following code:
std::vector<int> vec;
int* ptr = &vec[0];

In the case of a vector of vectors, can I still assume this holds true? I would expect the vector to hold other state data, or alignment issues, or maybe something else...

You probably cannot cast a vector of vectors to a linear array. Each vector will reserve its own memory range and you cannot expect all of these ranges to be sequencial.

A: You mentioned in a comment that you work with up to 2500x2500xsizeof(double) data. In that case, I would suggest using one single vector instead of vector of vectors. Allocate NxM elements in a vector and wrap it in a class exposing two-dimensional indexing if you wish to. You get all the benefits of vector with minimum overhead and all your data is still in contiguous memory for fast processing.

A:
Are there implementation guarantees in the stl that vector is, internally, consecutive in memory?

As of C++03, yes, a vector is guaranteed to use contiguous storage.
(In C++98, there was an accidental loophole so an implementation could hypothetically use non-contiguous storage, but it was fixed in the 2003 revision of the standard - and no implementation actually used non-contiguous storage because it'd be a terrible idea)

Can I safely cast a std::vector to int* and expect that to work?

The usual way is &v[0]. (&*v.begin() would probably work too, but I seem to recall there's some fluffy wording in the standard that makes this not 100% reliable)
No. Why would you expect that to work? A vector is a class. It is not a pointer. It just contains a pointer.

In the case of a vector of vectors, can I still assume this holds true? I would expect the vector to hold other state data, or alignment issues, or maybe something else...

The vector behaves the same whatever you store in it. If you make a vector of vectors, you end up with an object which contains a pointer to a heap-allocated array, where each element is an object which contains a pointer to a heap-allocated array.
As for how you should approach this, it depends on a lot of factors. How big is your total dataset? You might want to have the entire table allocated contiguously. With a vector of vectors, each row is a separate allocation.

About this Degree
Sociology is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior. It is perhaps the most wide-ranging of the social sciences, a pattern illustrated well by the scholarship of the department's faculty. Among the topics that faculty study are:
how people respond to injustice
why charter schools fail
how organizations and mentoring shape careers
whether people get the work hours they want
how social structures are reproduced during face-to-face interactions
how people manage conflict
how cultures of professionalism and fatigue shape the work hours and schedules of surgeons
why there are ethnic and racial differences in crime and violence
how family processes, peer associations, community context, and incarceration affect the risk of criminal behavior
how substance abuse treatment organizations adopt innovations
how and why headhunters match job candidates to positions in the labor market
the effects of discrimination and racial socialization on physical and mental health
how social institutions like the criminal justice and public welfare systems affect social inequality
how victim gender, race, and ethnicity affect outcomes in capital-murder trials and on death row
how careers unfold among U.S. Army Generals
Our research takes faculty all over the world, from struggles over resources and indigenous rights in Southern Chile to winemaking in South Africa, from social movements in Argentina to collecting new sentiments dictionaries in the Arab countries of North Africa and the Middle East. Our wide-ranging course offerings mirror – and are inspired by – these research interests.
While the humanities and the arts also explore the social world, sociology is distinct because it is a social science. It uses theoretical frameworks, empirical data, and scientific methods to investigate the social world. In terms of specific research methods, sociology – and the department's faculty – makes use of survey research and statistical analyses, in-depth interviews and ethnography, network analysis, experimental techniques, and content analysis of both contemporary and historical written and visual documents. Theoretical and methodological pluralism characterize the discipline and the department.
The major is designed to teach undergraduate students the sociological perspective, which incorporates three central foci:
The recognition of the preeminence of social structures and their influences, and of micro and macro-level social processes.
The role of the scientific method in the acquisition of knowledge.
The enduring link between the individual's experience and larger social processes.
By deciding to major in sociology you have chosen a liberal-arts specialty that leads to a wide range of career options in government or business. In addition, a sociology major provides a solid foundation for further post-graduate study in law, business, public health, and the social sciences.
The department offers a wide range of courses on interesting topics. All undergraduate Sociology majors take required classes in theory and methods, the latter always in small classes (enrollment is limited to 15 students) to give them as much opportunity as possible to get hands-on research experience. Many of our best majors also work on independent projects with faculty. At least two of our classes every semester are writing intensive, and we offer three to four classes a year in study-abroad programs, including one class with a service-learning component.
The sociology curriculum provides repeated experiences wherein students pose sociological questions and bring data to bear on them, making full use of computer technologies. Courses underscore the centrality of race, class, gender, social structure, and culture in society and in sociological analysis. In the process, they expose students to comparative and international materials. More generally, the major develops student capacity for abstract thought, critical analysis, and for effective written and oral communication.

Employment Information Possible Job Titles
Possible Job Titles:
Although few occupations include "sociologist" in their title at the bachelor's level, a sociology major is an excellent springboard for many different jobs in both for-profit and not-for-profit organizations. The sociological perspective is crucial for working in today's multi-ethnic and multi-national business environment. An undergraduate sociology major provides valuable insights into social factors such as race, ethnicity, gender, age, education, and social class that affect social interaction, group dynamics, and organizational processes.
If you are approaching graduation (or have recently graduated) and are seeking a job in the business world, focus on general areas of interest that motivate you. Sociology majors who are interested in organizational theory gravitate toward organizational planning, development, and training. Those who study the sociology of work and occupations may pursue careers in human resources management (personnel) and industrial relations. Students who concentrate on crime, deviance, and punishment often pursue opportunities in various local and state criminal-justice agencies. Those who especially enjoy and excel at research design, statistics, and data analysis seek positions in marketing, public relations, and organizational research.
Recent graduates with a sociology major contacted by the Career Planning and Placement Office at the University of Georgia list the following employers and job titles, which serve well to illustrate the wide variety of options afforded by the major:

Q: Why C# lock shouldn't be used for long operations? A lot of articles say: don't use lock to synchronise long operations and I follow this rule. But I'm curious what is actually so wrong about it? Is this about some precious resource consuming?
Also, will it help if I use AutoResetEvent instead? Or I should rather forget about locking long operations and go for asynchronous programming?

A: First off, if you don't understand the reason for the rule then you're cargo cult programming. It is vital that you understand the reasons for these rules, rather than applying them blindly.
So, two reasons to hold locks for a short amount of time:
(1) long locks equal poor performance. Suppose you have a resource that only one person can use at a time. Do you really want your housemate to be doing his taxes and binge watching netflix in the shower? No, you want them to get in and get out so someone else can use it.
(2) long locks equal deadlocks. If you're in a lock for a long time, odds are good you're calling a lot of code. Which increases the odds that the code you're calling has a lock order inversion that you don't know about.
So, the standard advice is: lock for as little time as possible, and have many fine-grained locks rather than single course grained locks.
Of course, the standard advice also is that having many fine-grained locks also increases opportunities for deadlocks because now you have more locks that could be inverted. And having many fine-grained locks also increases the likelihood that there is an unknown race where something runs between two locked regions that you haven't considered.  So the standard advice is: have a small number of coarse-grained locks that lock for large sections of code.
The standard advice is contradictory. Why is that? Because managing shared memory in multithreaded programs via monitor locking is fundamentally a bad idea. It's the standard practice, but that doesn't make it good.

Also, will it help if I use AutoResetEvent instead? Or I should rather forget about locking long operations and go for asynchronous programming?

My advice is to use the highest-level operation you can. If you can get away with no asynchrony, do it. If not, consider process level parallelism or single threaded asynchrony, depending on whether you are processor bound or IO latency bound. If those don't work for whatever reason then treat threads as lightweight processes with no shared memory; use the TPL to manage your threads for you.
And so on.  Dealing with locks or interlocked operations or volatiles should be a last resort, and these tools should be used as primitives to build higher-level tools.

A: Simple idea behind it. Lock essentially blocks other threads from entering critical section. Say critical section already has one thread which is doing some work then another thread is waiting to access the critical section. This makes these threads in a matter execute synchroniously. That raises the question why wont you just use single thread for that?
So first reason is that you might as well run single thread for it.
Another point, by making critical section long operations you also block all other threads waiting for lock to be lifted thus potentially increasing executing time of code by thread amount.
Second reason, your code will be extremely slow in a highly concurrent environment.

A: C# lock statements are used to restrict access of a critical section from multiple threads. This statement ensures a mutually exclusive access for a single thread execution, until the release of the lock. For example, if a file write condition is set to have block all access while write operation is in-progress, wrapping lock statement around the file write code makes sure to satisfy the condition.
Now, if the execution time becomes prolonged, the other threads queue up at the lock. That results to sluggish response time, degraded performance or sometime leads to call failure due to timeouts. Example -
private Object lockObj = new Object();

 public void FileOperation(decimal amount)
 {
    //Subsequent thread calls will queue up
    lock (lockObj)
    {
      using (System.IO.StreamWriter file =
                new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteLines2.txt", true))
            {
                //Long running operation
                for(var i = 1; i < 1000000; i++)
                {
                   file.WriteLine("Fourth line");
                }
            }
    }
}

Original Post

A: Maybe another important thing about long locks -> priority inversion (see this link). Let's consider the following.
A low prio thread locks a resource for a long time. A high prio thread needs also access to this resource. Worst case: the low prio thread holds the lock, a high prio thread is started and accesses the lock. In this case the low prio thread is scheduled to "inactive" and the high prio thread to "active". Problem: the high prio thread is blocked because the low prio thread still holds the lock.
I know this problem is obvious when you read about it, but in complex code things aren't always that clear ... Reducing lock scope can help to avoid such situations.
If possible switch to async, but also be aware that there are also possible deadlock scenarios(see this post for example).

A mansion with glass floor and rooftop garden which a legendary singer once used as a fishing lodge
Toby Keel October 17, 2017
This glorious home in Lancashire lies on the edge of the Forest of Bowland and is within easy reach of Liverpool, Manchester and the Lake District.
In the 1930s, the Satterthwaite family made a big decision: to build a fine new home in the country. The result was the beautiful Halton Green House, a wonderfully eclectic house and grounds which has all manner of different influence, and which is now on the market at £2.5 million.
What first jumped out at us on seeing this place was the clean, simple lines of the building – somewhat reminiscent of the Art Deco clubhouse at Royal Birkdale, not far away on the coast. The current owners have added to this house, but have taken great care to retain the symmetry of the original design.
Inside, there are even more touches which evoke different eras: the parquet flooring in the library is a delight, while the Florentine marble used in the hallway and on the sweeping staircase seems part-continental, part Beverley Hills.
That touch of American glamour also extends upstairs, where there is a room with a glass floor – yes, you could see it as a tad gimmicky. But it's a very practical solution to bringing more natural light into the centre of the house, since it allows light from the skylight above to pour in to the building.
Halton Green House didn't always look quite so striking: it's had an interesting history through the years, and during the Second World War was even used as a barracks.
In the 1950s, it became a favourite bolt hole of Frankie Vaughan, one of Britain's most popular singers of the 1950s. Vaughan was a fishing fanatic and spent several summers living at Halton Green House so that he could go and enjoy his favourite pastime on the banks of the nearby River Lune.
The house as is stands today and seven bedrooms – one of which is a master suite with an en-suite and dressing room, the latter of which has direct access to the rooftop garden that sits above one wing of the house. One of the bedrooms is part of a separate, self-contained guest suite, ideal for giving visitors their own space.
Beyond the sleeping quarters are all sorts of other spaces: a garden room, cellar, a study, a gym, and a cinema room on the second floor, among other things.
Outside, the are a mix of lawns and areas planted informally with mature trees and shrubs leading to a more formal area of raised beds with greenhouse, garden shed and glazed workshop area. There is even a gardener's room and a separate kennel – with its own central heating system – as well as a sizeable paddock.
But you needn't go so far to enjoy the garden: the roof terrace has a central garden area, and it can be accessed either from the master suite or via stone steps from the ground floor terrace. It's as fine a party space as you could imagine, ideal for entertaining while taking in the views across the countryside.
Halton Green House is for sale at £2.5 million with Fine & Country via OnTheMarket.com – see more details and pictures.

Barcelona vs. Manchester United Final Score: Barcelona Win 3-1, Are Champions Of Europe Once More
By Graham MacAree May 28, 2011, 5:14pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Barcelona vs. Manchester United Final Score: Barcelona Win 3-1, Are Champions Of Europe Once More
Wow. Barcelona thoroughly earned their position as champions of Europe by taking Manchester United to the cleaners at Wembley Stadium. The final score ended up being 3-1, but that didn't really reflect the difference between the two sides - Barcelona were absolutely dominant, out-shooting United 22-4 and out-passing them by a ludicrous figure as well. It comes as no surprise that Pep Guardiola's side emerged triumphant, but was was truly impressive is how comprehensively they destroyed a good United side, and they didn't even have to resort to Clasico tactics to do it.
Just like two years ago, when Manchester United lost 2-0 to the same opponents in Rome, Sir Alex Ferguson's team actually started very brightly, pressing the Catalans high up the pitch and causing havoc against a makeshift back line. Javier Hernandez and Wayne Rooney both had early opportunities beaten away by Barca keeper Victor Valdes, and Park Ji-Sung was hugely impressive in the way he both kept Dani Alves quiet and still found time to move inwards and pick up Xavi.
That spell, obviously, was not to last. Barcelona flipped the switch about ten minutes into the match, and from then on were almost unplayable. Pedro and David Villa both had opportunities to test Edwin van der Sar in the United goal, each hitting their shots wide, but before long they made their dominance tell with a very nice finish by Pedro, who had been left all alone on the left thanks to Patrice Evra being more worried about Lionel Messi than the 23-year-old. That proved to be a bad mistake, as Xavi simply looked up, picked him out and watched as Pedro finished with a sidefooted effort at Edwin van der Sar's near post [Watch the video of Pedro's goal].
1-0 wasn't enough for Guardiola and Barca, however, and they kept pushing forward against a stunned United side, who were forced into several last-ditch challenges to prevent them from going further ahead. Amazingly, though, it was the Premier League champions to scored next, with Wayne Rooney completing a neat (and possibly offside) one-two with Ryan Giggs and lashing home past a helpless Victor Valdez [Watch the video of Wayne Rooney's goal]. Out of nothing, the game was level at 1-1, and the score would stay the same until half time, with Barcelona still edging the chances.
The second half saw a rapidly tiring Manchester United totally capitulate, with Barcelona well and truly dominating the match, inspired mostly by Lionel Messi, who was such a threat to simply dance around a tackle that United's defenders simply stood off him rather than make a challenge. He took advantage of this in the 54th minute, when he moved towards the top of the area with four white shirts between him and the goal. Nobody bothered to close him down, so he used Nemanja Vidic as a screen before hitting a low left-footed shot past Edwin van der Sar (who might have done better) to make it 2-1 [Watch the video of Lionel Messi's goal].
More was coming, though, and it only took fifteen more minutes for Barcelona to seal the deal. David Villa had an odd first season with the La Liga giants, going cold at exactly the wrong time, but his strike in the 67th minute might go some way into making fans forget how poor he was towards the end of the regular season. Nani lost the ball in the United box and Sergio Busquets calmly fed the Spain international 18 yards out, Villa unleashing an unstoppable shot past van der Sar and into the top corner [Watch the video of David Villa's goal].
At 3-1 with barely twenty minutes to go, nobody ever really thought Manchester United were getting back into the game, and despite their attempts at clawing back a goal they simply never really threatened Victor Valdes again - Rooney's goal was actually their only shot on target all evening. Paul Scholes came in to no effect, Nani's first touch was a disaster, and three minutes of injury time could have been three hours for all the good it would have done Ferguson's side.
Barcelona were simply too good for United to come anywhere close, and as the game petered out (whilst getting just a little bit feisty) I think everyone more or less realised that. The better team won, and it wasn't close. Barcelona are your champions of Europe, and they cement their status as the best club team of their generation. This marks the club's fourth European championship, and moves Spain into first place on the all time ranks ahead of Italy.

After being arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charge, life can become very confusing and extremely difficult. Panic can take over those accused and logistics can be unclear as your memory fades. Utah DUI penalties are among the most strict in the country. The lowest first-time offense convictions can include fines, license suspensions, court-mandated DUI education programs, community service, alcohol/drug screenings and even jail time. Criminal Defense Attorneys are trained in different strategies to dismiss/reduce charges or possibly achieve expungement. Most importantly, a criminal defense attorney should be hired immediately. In doing so, it could possibly prevent any unwarranted convictions.
In Utah, the number of drug offenders encountered by the police has increased dramatically since 2013. Most of these incidents have related to amphetamines and heroin. For anyone facing charges for a drug offense, the penalties for a guilty conviction can be serious. These convictions can include penalties such as; jail time, court-mandated programs, and substantial fines. The criminal charges and consequences will vary by the severity of the crime. Drug charges can often be a misdemeanor, while others can become a felony. There are many contributing factors that determine a criminal charge including; the quantity of the substance in your possession at the time of discovery, the classification of the drug under the Federal Controlled Substances Act, and the number of previous offenses. Moreover, hiring a quality defense team from the beginning can mean all the difference when protecting your future.
Due to Utah's strict domestic violence laws, you could face serious penalties if convicted. These penalties can include jail time, court-mandated treatment and evaluation, expensive fines and up to 36 months of probation. In addition to these penalties, a domestic violence conviction can appear on your record and have devastating effects on your future. Some of these effects can possibly keep you from purchasing a home, getting a job, or restricting your rights to own a firearm or weapon. Hiring a criminal defense team can help you deliver an effective strategy for your defense. In addition, you can often achieve a dismissal of charges or a reduced conviction to minimize the negative effects on your life.
Don't make the mistake of waiting to hire a defense attorney. They are there to help you and to serve you in any way that they can. Because of their specialized training they can give you the support, care, and compassion you need during a difficult time. They can prevent unnecessary charges and will also help you to understand current charges in order to help you to move forward.
The law firm of Larsen, Larsen & Nash understands how important your life is to you and that's why our staff works tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome. If you have any questions or if you are in need of a Criminal Justice Attorney, give us a call today at (801) 204-9224 or contact us online to schedule your free consultation.

This is the sixth album from this well-established mother and son musical tag team, tramping the oft trod byways of Trad Americana, with customary nods towards Woody Guthrie and other American sources, where known. The erstwhile title song, Old Dolores, is an unaccompanied triumph from Sara and purports to be an old Western song, but I'm sure I recognise the tune from a couple of Australian bushwack songs (which probably means they were previously British broadsides…). The Merry Willow Tree is another Golden Vanity variant, but none the worse for that. On the accompanied tracks, Sara Grey's solid banjo playing steers a true course, while Kieron Means plays discreet but effective guitar behind. Ben Paley plays a mean fiddle on several tracks – notably on Cherry River Line and Black Bear On The Mountain.
Resident in the UK for 38 years, mostly in Scotland, Sara Grey has been a feature of the club scene for as long as I've been attending and is worth seeking out for a relaxed evening of song with her famous knowledgeable introductions and stories, although all her scheduled appearances are currently back home in the US. The CD itself is well packaged, with well-informed information about the songs, tunes and their origins. Producer Paul Adams has teased out another gem from Ms Grey, as usual.

Aamir Khan is the most popular Bollywood actor in the international scene nowadays, appearing in unforgettable movies, such as "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India," "Talaash," "Just Like Stars, Every Child is Special," and "3 Idiots." Called Mr. Perfectionist in his home country, India, Aamir is also a successful director and producer. His Aamir Khan Productions produced Bollywood box-office hits with sales records that are yet to be broken, not to mention that Lagaan has earned a nomination in the Academy Awards. His achievements landed him in TIME's 2013 list of 100 Most Influential People in the World.
Why Aamir Khan is Extraordinary
Much of what we see on TV are either fabricated or enhanced. Nothing seems to be genuine. Celebrities pay tons of money to keep their public image immaculate, after all they are done the moment the public stops patronizing them. Thankfully, not all celebrities are self-centered. The likes of Aamir Khan for instance has too much love for his craft that he couldn't care less how others see him. Aamir is considered one of the most respected movie actors of his time. He is also a prolific producer and director. Indian people call him Mr. Perfectionist because of his dedication to producing only the best movies there is.
Perfectionist but Compassionate
Aamir is not the kind of actor you'd want directing if you don't have enough passion for filmmaking. He is known for his involvement in the films where he appeared even though he isn't part of the technical team. Aamir doesn't just act based on what he sees in the script. He gets to know the character and becomes them when the film starts rolling. Known as the most effective method actor of his generation, Aamir tends to go the extra mile in portraying characters, which is the reason why he has been awarded numerous times by award-giving bodies in his home country. His film, "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India" was a huge success that it was nominated in the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
Not only are his movies award-winning, they are also box office record holders. "3 Idiots" remains unbeatable in Bollywood as the highest grossing film of all time. Second is "Ghajini," which also had him on the lead.
Aamir debuted as TV host in the a la Oprah Winfrey Show, "Satyamev Jayate." Asked by New York Times why he chose that over a game show, Aamir only had the following to say:
"Look, for me to do TV, I feel that TV is such a strong medium and so powerful. In every home you have a TV. I would like to use that strength to bring about strong social change."
"We are just not being accusatory in our approach because that is not our intention. Our intention is to understand.
And everybody is part of our society, including a politician. A politician is as much a human being as you and I. You can't just only blame that person. You and I have chosen him. We have to take as much responsibility."
Aamir is not in the film industry for fame, money, or glory. He is there to make a difference using a very potent medium. Apart from making films that tackle sensitive political and social issues, Aamir is also physically involved in philanthropy and causes. In 2011, he was appointed as national brand ambassador of UNICEF. Like Oprah in the United States, Aamir was also instrumental in the legislation of the Child Protection bill in India.
But perhaps, what really makes Aamir extraordinary is his outlook in life:
"I did mistakes and learnt from them as well. But when I think of that phase I feel very proud because those mistakes made me a better actor. At that point of time I made a strict decision for myself. I will not sign a film for money, I will not do a film for big banner or a big director. But I will do a film if only my heart is convinced over the script. From last 24 years, I was firm on my decision. I have always kept a non-compromising attitude when it comes to quality."
We urge you to watch his films if you haven't yet and be the judge.
Top Reasons why Aamir Khan is Extraordinary
He has his own company called Amir Khan Productions that produced the all-time favorite, "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India."
"Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India" was nominated in ten Academy Awards for Best Film in Foreign Language.
He directed and starred in the award-winning movie, Every Child is Special. Watch it if you haven't.
He was the lead actor in "Ghajini" the top grossing film in India before it was outdone by "3 Idiots."
Of course he's one of the leads in "3 Idiots" the highest grossing movie in India to date.
He was appointed national brand ambassador of UNICEF. He was instrumental in the legislation of The Child Protection bill.
He composes songs and sings. You'll hear some of his compositions in movies he made.
He was once the highest paid host and actor in India.
He was awarded Best Actor and Best Director by award-giving bodies in India but never attends them.
He was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2013 by TIMES magazine.
Biography of Aamir Khan
Date of Birth: Sunday, 14 March 1965 | Born in: / Nationality: India
A World-Class Character Actor
Amir Khan's illustrious career in acting and directing is telling of his commitment in only giving his best in everything he does. What sets Aamir apart from his contemporaries is his dedication to his craft and his unparalleled passion in the industry. He is known as someone who doesn't do anything for show. Very seldom do we see that kind of actor these days. But Aamir Khan doesn't care less about how others see him. As long as he believes that he is not doing anyone wrong, he doesn't think twice about speaking his mind.
Aamir's involvement in many social causes has also earned the respect not only of his Indian fellowmen, but also of his growing fan-base around the world. Most of his films tell politically sensitive stories that are not for the faint-hearted. Watching his films, even the most frigid could be moved to tears. More than just an actor, Aamir Khan is a storyteller of the highest caliber. While most actors are known for their looks or awesome depiction of characters, Aamir's skills include convincing portrayal, command over direction, song-writing and singing prowess, and breathtaking presence on screen.
The reason we don't see much of him in the movies in spite of his stellar status is that he limits his works to one or two films every year, saying that he doesn't want to preoccupy himself with work. A very simple man, nothing makes Aamir happier than being able to spend quality time with his kids and wife, Kiran.
Does Not Call Himself a Child Actor
Born on 14 March 1965 to Zeenat Hussain and Tahir Hussain, a producer, Aamir Hussain Khan's love for acting runs in his blood. His uncle, Nasir Hussain, is a director. In fact, Aamir appeared in one of his films, "Yaadon Ki Baaraat," in 1973 and in another film titled "Madhosh" the following year. Contrary to what most people would like to believe, Aamir does not consider himself a child actor.
"It wasn't that I was a child actor in the acting profession. It was essentially because my uncle was a film maker. He was making a film and he said, 'Why don't you do this part that I have for a kid?' That was a one-off for me. I had nothing to do with films thereafter." (Source: JonWilks)
Aamir has three more siblings, namely Faisal Khan, Farhat Khan, and Nikhat Khan. Acting and filming were far from his mind as a young boy probably because he wasn't encouraged by his parents to take that path. They wanted Aamir to have a more secure profession.
"My family were dead against it. They wanted me to be in a steady profession, like a doctor or an engineer or something. They were protective…" (Source: JonWilks)
Aamir attended the Narsee Monjee College in Mumbai where he completed his Standard 12 and even became a tennis champion in Maharashtra. However, Aamir did not stay indifferent towards film. When he was 16 years old, his friend asked his help in making a film. That opened Aamir's eyes, leading him to realize that his passion is in filmmaking, much to his father's chagrin. His life was never the same again after that homemade film was shown. It sparked a lifelong interest that soon launched him into stardom.
Aamir's List of Movies
Aamir first appeared in Holi as a grown actor with a more substantial role albeit not a major one. Prior to that, Aamir realized he had a peculiar interest beyond acting; that he wanted to actually work behind the camera. He tells his humble beginnings in an interview:
"I also wanted to learn about film-making. So, that's why I was working as an assistant first. In this period I did one film as an actor, which is actually my first film. It was a film called Holi, which Ketan (Mehta) directed. And what is interesting is that I didn't… it wasn't so much that I wanted to act in it but I wanted to be on the set… because… we had heard that Ketan and Jehangir (Chaudhri, the cameraman) were going to use a steady cam, which was a new thing at that time. So, I was like, 'God… I want to see the steady cam and I want to know how it works and what it looks like.'
So, I got into the film to watch actually how it all happens. I was one of the 30 kids in the film and… Ashutosh was there, Niraj Vora was there, Amol Gupte, they were all there… whole lot of people.
Eventually the steady camera didn't land up, so I never got to see it. But it was fun—a good experience working with so many people. Also, before this while I was assisting Mahendra Joshi, in theatre, I did a couple of diploma films. So all this was a process for me to learn you know, working in FTII films with the students. They needed actors, as their acting course had shut down. So, they would ask actors from Mumbai and Delhi to come and do their diploma films. So I did a few diploma films." (Source: NaachGaana.com)
Three more years passed before Aamir was given a break in the film "Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak" where he played the role of Raj in 1988. His looks and acting skills were not missed by viewers and critics. He won the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award and received the National Film Award - Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film) – Actor for that film. He was also nominated for Filmfare Best Actor Award. With his initial success, Aamir took all the opportunity that came his way, increasing his workload. The following year, he did two more movies, "Love Love Love" and "Raakh." Between the two, Raakh emerged as the more successful. Again, he was nominated Filmfare Best Actor Award and received the National Film Award - Special Jury Award / Special Mention (Feature Film) – Actor. The following year kept Aamir busy as he did five films: "Deewana Mujh Sa Nahin," "Awwal Number," "Jawani Zindabad," "Tum Mere Ho," and "Dil." More awards followed suit and before he knew it, he was a star! He did twelve more movies in a span of five years: "Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin," "Afsana Pyar Ka," "Daulat Ki Jung," "Isi Ka Naam Zindagi," "Parampara," "Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar," "Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke," "Andaz Apna Apna," "Baazi," "Aatank Hi Aatank," "Bollywood Dreams," and "Akele Hum Akele Tum."
Some of them were successful, while others ended up having mediocre sales in Bollywood box office. Having stayed a number of years in the film industry, Aamir realized two things. One is that he couldn't spend all of his precious time just doing movies as it doesn't make him happy. Two is that he couldn't really trust the judgment of award-giving bodies. Since then, he decided not to attend awarding ceremonies of organizations that to him lack credibility. He has gained the reputation of a snob, ignoring events that he feels are not giving due regard to films that are worth more recognition than what they give.
From then on, Aamir only did one or two movies every year and stopped attending functions altogether, except for ones that he thinks are worth his time. According to him:
"I have no objections to film awards per se. I just feel that if I don't value a particular film award, then I won't attend it either. Apart from the National Film Awards, I don't see any other award ceremony that I should give value to. My personal experience about these award ceremonies is that I don't trust them. I have no faith in them so I would prefer to stay away." (Source: Wikipedia)
By this time, people are not only intrigued by this uncompromising actor but are also beginning to either intensely love him or hate him. Aamir admits to being sensitive. He recounted in one of his interviews that he used to have a row with the press because of the sensational news they were writing about him. Well, that's Aamir, he doesn't sugarcoat. Apart from innate skills, that's another thing that makes him different from the rest of his contemporaries.
From 1996 to 2000, he only did the following films: "Raja Hindustani," "Ishq," "Ghulam," "Earth," "Sarfarosh," "Mann," and "Mela." But he would later on be touted as an icon in his first Aamir Khan Productions-produced masterpiece, "Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India." Lagaan became a huge success in Bollywood and even earned a slot in the Academy Awards. It defined Aamir not only as an actor, but as a producer who had fine taste. Although the film was directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Aamir was credited for his insights and contribution to the film. Along with that success came more awards and controversy. He was accused of putting up his own productions so he could ghost direct. His matter-of-fact reply to that was:
"I have no energy to direct films for others. When I direct, it will be for myself."
He has risen to such great heights that he was ranked second among the "Greatest Actor" in the film personalities' category in the Best of India poll conducted by Zee News. Four more films followed—"Dil Chahta Hai," "The Rising: Ballad of Mangal Pandey," "Rang De Basanti," and "Fanaa"—before Aamir tries his hands at directing. The movie "Taare Zameen Par" (Like Stars on Earth, Every Child is Special) was his debut movie as a director. He played the role of the teacher who went through the same challenges as the dyslexic student he helped in the movie. The story is about coming into terms with one's own gift and acceptance of a person regardless of how different he/she may seem from the rest. It earned raves not only in India, but also all over the world. Touching and endearing, Every Child is Special became an official box office. Again, Aamir proved that he doesn't just act well, he also directs amazingly!
The following year, 2008, Aamir appeared in another successful movie titled "Ghajini." It was special because it became the highest grossing film in India. It was, however, toppled by "3 Idiots" a year after. Fortunately, he also starred in 3 Idiots as the lead character, Shamaldas 'Rancho' Chanchad.
He again appeared in "Mumbai Diaries" in 2010 directed by his second wife, Kiran Rao. Two years later, Amir Khan Productions released "Talaash," its third movie. They are currently doing the post production of "Dhoom 3" set to be shown in 2013 and "Peekay" the following year.
Reena and Kiran
When Aamir was 21 years old, he fell in love with a Hindi girl three years his junior, Reena. With Aamir coming from a conservative Muslim family, he was quite sure that their parents wouldn't approve of their marriage. The two decided to elope and wed secretly. They remained married for 16 years and had two children named Junaid and Ira. Everybody was surprised when news came out about their divorce. The two has remained friends afterwards.
Aamir met his second wife, Kiran, on the set of Lagaan. She was the assistant director of the film but their relationship did not go beyond work. They became closer shortly after Aamir and Reena divorced. He married Kiran in 2002 but has one child with ex-girlfriend Jessica Hines, a British writer, who they named Jaan Harry Hines on 14 September 2003. It was not possible for Aamir and Kiran to have a child due to medical reasons so the two decided to heed doctors' advice—using a surrogate. They welcomed their new family member in 2011.
In spite of his busy schedule, Aamir still found time to make good on the promise he made to his mother and took her to Mecca for the Hajj. Aamir could be endearing if he wants to. More than anything else, it's Aamir's no-nonsense attitude that adds to the industry's integrity. Aamir is a great actor in his own right but he's got so much self-respect that he doesn't resort to changing who he is just to earn people's approval. In 2013, he was named by TIME magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. It's a relief to know that someone like him is making such a huge impact. We could learn a lot about integrity and passion from this man.

Turns Out Jeffrey Epstein Suicide Attempt Video Isn't Missing After All
Colin KalmbacherDec 20th, 2019, 12:32 pm
Update, Jan. 9: the government now says the video "no longer exists."
Lost and found.
Prosecutors in New York City now say they've been able to locate previously lost surveillance footage from outside of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's cell on the night of his first suicide attempt at the Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC).
The suspiciously missing footage was located late Thursday–just one day after prosecutors told a federal court that video from the night of July 22 and early morning of July 23 of this year had not been properly preserved by Manhattan MCC authorities.
"We are very pleased the video was preserved, as we had asked," said Bruce Barket, a defense attorney for Epstein's former cellmate Nick Tartaglione on early Friday morning. "We look forward to viewing it. "
According to the New York Daily News, Assistant U.S. Attorney Jason Swergold penned a one-page letter to U.S. District Judge Kenneth Karas quickly reversing his office's Wednesday claim that the footage from outside of Epstein and Tartaglione's just could not be found.
"It is our understanding…that the video no longer exists," Swergold initially told Karas. "It was not preserved."
But what a difference a day makes in the New York legal system.
"Earlier today, the government confirmed with MCC staff that the video was preserved by MCC staff upon defense counsel's request in July 2019, and the government is in the process of obtaining a copy of the video," Swergold confirmed to Karas via the volte-face filing.
Barket previously expressed concerns about the once-missing video.
"It is on the surface troubling," Barket mused to the Daily News on Wednesday. "I'll reserve judgement until I've found out more details."
As Law&Crime previously reported, Tartaglione claims to have saved the elite pedophile's life on the night in question. The ex-cop, behind bars on quadruple murder charges, reportedly alerted Manhattan MCC officials after Epstein attempted to hang himself.
"Nick acted appropriately and admirably," Barket said.
"They became more than cordial," Barket added of the quick relationship that apparently developed between his client and Epstein. "In the short time they were together, they became friends."
According to NBC 4 New York, Epstein was found "injured and in a fetal position inside his cell," after authorities were alerted to his condition and was "semi-conscious with marks on his neck."
After that incident, Epstein was transferred to a different section of the MCC, placed on so-called "suicide watch," promptly taken off and then left alone in his cell before eventually dying under somewhat disputed circumstances the second week of August.
Officially, of course, Epstein's death was ruled a suicide.
The former Briarcliff Manor cop has yet to be questioned about the pedophile's allegedly successful suicide by hanging.
Tartaglione's defense team requested the footage as it would likely be regarded as evidence of his good character in the upcoming death penalty trial for the four murders he's accused of committing. Such good character evidence might be useful in mitigating sentencing severity in the instance of an eventual guilty verdict.
"We think ultimately it will portray Nick in a positive light," Barket told The Journal News late Thursday.
The latest video controversy had people on high alert, particularly because it still hasn't been fully explained why some video footage outside of Epstein's cell is unusable.

Wash and slice up the leeks into pieces about one inch long, put them into a saucepan with the butter or dripping made thoroughly hot; cover over and let them cook for half an hour, stirring occasionally. While they are cooking clean the giblets thoroughly, washing them first in hot and then in cold water. Cut open the gizzard, remove the stones, and cleanse well. Cut them all up into small pieces and put them into the saucepan with the leeks, pour over the boiling water or liquor, put in the peppercorns tied in a piece of muslin, and a piece of bacon rind if there is any in the larder. Let it simmer slowly for three hours; if not brown enough add a few drops of caramel, take out the peppercorns and bacon rind, season to taste, pour into a hot tureen and serve.

Stage I-II low grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: Prognostic factors and treatment results
R. Epelbaum, A. Kuten, N. M. Coachman, D. Faraggi, Y. Ben-Arie, M. Ben-Shahar, N. Haim, M. Leviov, Y. Cohen
48 patients with stage I-II low-grade non-Hodgkin's lymphoma were treated by radiation and/or chemotherapy between 1970 and 1986. The histologic types were diffuse lymphocytic well differentiated, eleven patients; nodular lymphocytic poorly differentiated, 28 patients; nodular mixed, nine patients. Complete remission was obtained in 45 patients (94%). Overall survival was 83% and 68% at five and ten years, respectively. Five and ten-year relapse free survival of complete responders was 71% and 57%, respectively. Univariate analysis of potential prognosticators showed the following to significantly increase the survival rate: one or two sites of disease (p < 0.01), stage I (p < 0.02), age < 65 years (p < 0.02), complete excision of tumor mass (p < 0.03), and the use of radiotherapy (p < 0.02). The extent of radiotherapy field did not affect survival. Multivariate analysis by the stepwise proportional hazards model of Cox showed that the use of radiotherapy was the factor which significantly produced better survival figures (p < 0.03). It is concluded that two thirds of stage I-II low-grade lymphoma patients are potentially curable; radiotherapy plays a major role in the management.

Kano State police authorities reportedly foiled what could have been a deadly explosion, thanks to some information a 10-year-old boy revealed to them.
They discovered 13 high-calibre Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) at Sauna-Fafunga in the Dakata area of Kano, Vanguard reports.
Aderenle Shinaba, the Commissioner of Police, is said to have shown the devices to reporters in Kano yesterday.
Shinaba revealed that the explosives were found around 1.30p.m. in a run-down car parked near a Friday Mosque. According to reports, a 10-year-old boy alerted police when he noticed some unusual objects in the vehicle.
�When we got the information, we quickly moved in to the place and in the course of screening the vehicle, our anti-bomb squad discovered the explosives.
We are simply lucky; what we have here now has the capacity of destroying a whole village and the Abuja incident would have been a child�s play.
The explosives were primed to explode when the Juma�at prayer is going on and they can destroy a whole neighbourhood because they are of high calibre,� said Shinaba.


In March 2015, the Group acquired a royalty interest in the Narrabri coal project, a major thermal coal and Pulverised Coal Injection ('PCI') coal mine located in New South Wales, Australia operated by Australian Stock Exchange listed Whitehaven Coal Limited ('Whitehaven'). The Narrabri Royalty entitles the holder to royalty payments equal to 1% of gross revenue on all coal produced from within the area.
The Group received royalty income of £1.9m for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to £1.4m for the same period in 2016. Thermal coal prices have performed better than most commentators expected in the first half of 2017, benefiting from weather related disruption in Australia.


Wrestling with Venomous Snakes – Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers Inc.
Northern Rivers Wildlife Carers Inc.
Article & pictures by Tom M.
Gabriela and I have been removing snakes from people's homes for a few year's now and have attended a number of non-venomous snake handling training days. Whilst we have caught the occasional black snake, brown tree snake or baby brown snake, we have never felt fully confident dealing with venomous snakes. So when this recent venomous snake handling course came up, we finally stepped over the (mental) barrier and enrolled.
The training was held on Sunday, 6 November 2016 at "Gecko's Wildlife", just under an hour's drive north of Brisbane, which involved a three hour drive from Ballina. The day before the course had been very hot and the training day itself promised to be another hot one also. Kate had organised a bus for us to travel to "Gecko's" as a group. Meeting point was Bunnings in Ballina. Julie had travelled up from New Italy and Lorraine had come from Casino, surely the ones having the longest day of us all. Rolf and Sandra had already gone up a day early, so as to be rested for the day of action. On our way north we also picked up Sue and Cameron (Cam is with TVWC). In all, we were a cosy group of 8 snake wranglers. We eventually arrived at "Gecko's Wildlife", eager for the course to begin.
Martin Fingland who operates "Gecko's Wildlife" welcomed us at the gate. He would be our facilitator for the day. As we learnt more about Martin's background, we realised that he is quite an authority in dealing with our slithering legless friends. He is very passionate about what he does and I could sense his compassion towards all wildlife. The theoretical part of the training consisted of general information on venomous snakes in Australia, their toxicity – something like 20 of the world's most venomous 25 snakes all reside in Australia –, the do's and don'ts of catching snakes, examples where bad approaches to catching a snake had had devastating health implications, as well as statistical information on envenomation through snake bites. For example, did you know that around 85% of brown snake bites are "dry bites"? Recognising that for example a cow, horse or human are not suitable prey, the brown snake simply wants to make a point without wasting its venom. Speaking of venom, another interesting thing about snake venom is that not only does it serve to kill prey, but also acts as "digestive aid", in that it dissolves the flesh of the eaten prey. Of around 3,000 snake bites annually in Australia, only 300 require treatment and of these only 3-4 cases result in the death of the bitten person.
After a short lunch break we went down to a nearby reserve for the practical part of the training. Martin pointed out the importance of acting in teams of two when dealing with venomous snakes, whenever possible. He also emphasised the importance of proper protective clothing/footwear and the use of suitable snake handling/catching gear. Whilst the primary goal has to be not to be bitten by a snake in the first place, he also talked us through the use of first aid, such as how to apply pressure bandages. As snake envenomation travels through the body via the lymphatic system (usually the venom would not be injected into the bloodstream), applying a tight pressure bandage is considered the best course of action until medical assistance is available.
Catching venomous snakes today would be with bag and hook. Martin demonstrated how a venomous snake can be securely bagged by observing a few essential points when using the hook and bag. As most snake handlers would have experienced during non-venomous snake handling courses, a supposedly "securely bagged" snake would suddenly reappear out of the bag, before the bag could be securely tied. You would not want something like this to happen with a venomous snake.
Martin and his two assistants placed a few "kind" (generally non-venomous) snakes in bushes and on a children's swing for us to get "warmed up" with catching snakes. The two pythons as well as a green and a brown tree snake quite happily "hung in there", while Martin gave us some further instructions.
After all of us had had a go at bagging the "nice" snakes, Martin brought out the first venomous ones for us to catch & bag. But not before we all had donned our protective gear, including special snake gaiters. And so, three or four of us in various locations around the reserve were allocated snakes to catch. As "Gecko's Wildlife" is home to a large variety of venomous snakes, we had plenty of types to train with. There were Collett's, spotted and red bellied black, rough scaled, tiger, Stephen's banded, death adder, mulga (king brown) and eastern browns to train with. The coastal taipan at the end had a cruisy slither through the grass and remained unharassed by us; Martin decided to rest her, as she was about to shed her skin shortly. Whilst some snakes would willingly disappear into the presented bags, others, like some black and tiger snakes and especially the brown snakes, tried to avoid the bags like the plague. It was hilarious to watch us running across the paddock with bags flying in the breeze for yet another try to lure the elusive snakes into the bag. Sometimes it was only thanks to Martin and his RSPCA approved "gripper" tool that prevented some snakes from disappearing into the undergrowth.
Martin also demonstrated the technique of "tubing" a snake. A transparent tube, slightly bigger than the thickness of the snake, would be held in front of the advancing snake. Eventually the snake would slither into the tube, making it easier to control and hold the snake. This technique is being used where for example the snake had to be safely assessed by a vet.
Even though most of our snake capturing takes place in home environments, usually furnished or rooms full of "stuff" like boxes, it was great to get face to face with these notorious elapids in the open reserve, where we could have multiple attempts at catching the snakes. Martin also offers "advanced" courses, where venomous snakes are removed from confined spaces, from under objects or vegetation. So hopefully there will be a possibility for all snake handlers in our group to attend this one also.
Overall, we all had a very enjoyable day out and learnt a lot. What resonated with me most is that whilst venomous snakes in Australia don't have to be feared, they certainly deserve the utmost respect when dealing with them.

Desjardins Outfitting started offering Manitoba Bear Hunts in 1994 and throughout the years we have had many record book bears harvested. Alexis Desjardins is a long time member of the Manitoba Lodge and Outfitters Association and has many years of experience guiding & hunting black bear, deer, moose, elk and fishing throughout Manitoba. Through the years he has gained an extensive knowledge of the bears seasonal patterns, living and eating habits.
The area that we hunt is located on the Northeast side of Riding Mountain National Park. This area is known worldwide for its tremendous trophy potential and also for the high percentage of color phase bears that it produces. It also has one of the highest Black Bear densities in North America. Here you can hunt with your choice of rifle, bow, or black powder. We also have fishing close by.
Both spring and fall bear hunts are conducted mostly on private farms along the border of Riding Mountain National Park. Hunting is not allowed in the park. The bears come out of the park to feed in the agricultural fields. The baits are located along the bears travel routes where the forest meets the farmland. Most of these bears have never seen a human before.
You will be hunting out of comfortable ladder stands 10' to 16' high and 15 to 25 yards from the bait. Stands are placed with the wind direction in mind and set up for both gun and bow hunters. The baits are a short 15 to 30 minute drive from where you will be staying. All of the baits you will be hunting are active and most will have multiple bears hitting them. Our hunters also take a very high percentage of color phase bears each year. In the past 15 years our hunters have had a 100% shot opportunity and a 95% kill rate. Spring hunts start at the beginning of May. Fall hunts start at the end of August.
Hunters fly into Winnipeg and rent a car. They then drive to Alexis & April's farm. Then we will bring you to our out-camp to get settled in. (Cell Service Available) Hunters will eat breakfast on their own. We serve you a big home style dinner early in the afternoon before you go out and then lunch when you return in the evening after your hunt.
