European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity
(Redirected from NORDEL)
ENTSO-E, the European Network of Transmission System Operators, represents 39 electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) from 35 countries across Europe, thus extending beyond EU borders. ENTSO-E was established and given legal mandates by the EU's Third Package for the Internal energy market in 2009, which aims at further liberalising the gas and electricity markets in the EU.[1]

On 27 June 2008, 36 European electricity transmission system operators (TSOs) signed in Prague a declaration of intent to create the ENTSO-E.[2] ENTSO-E was established on 19 December 2008 in Brussels by 42 TSOs as a successor of six regional associations of the electricity transmission system operators.[3][4] ENTSO-E became operational on 1 July 2009. The former associations ETSO, ATSOI, UKTSOA, NORDEL, UCTE and BALTSO became a part of the ENTSO-E, while still offering data by their predecessors for public interest.[5]
Creation of ENTSO-E was initiated by the adoption of the European Union third legislative package on the gas and electricity markets.[2] In 2003, the European Commission conducted a sector inquiry concerning the competition of electricity market in six European countries.[6] Examining competition in these countries, the final report stated serious issues to be solved.[7] It was noticed that the integration between member state's markets is still insufficient. Additionally, the absence of transparently available market information was assessed.[6] As a result, the third legislative package on the EU gas and electricity markets was adopted by the European Commission in September 2007.[8]
ObjectivesEdit
According to its website, "ENTSO-E promotes closer cooperation across Europe's TSOs to support the implementation of EU energy policy and achieve Europe's energy & climate policy objectives, which are changing the very nature of the power system. The main objectives of ENTSO-E centre on the integration of renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind and solar power into the power system, and the completion of the internal energy market (IEM), which is central to meeting the European Union's energy policy objectives of affordability, sustainability and security of supply. [...] ENTSO-E aims to be the focal point for all technical, market and policy issues relating to TSOs and the European network, interfacing with power system users, EU institutions, regulators and national governments."[9]
MembersEdit
TSOs are responsible for the bulk transmission of electric power on the main high voltage electric networks. TSOs provide grid access to the electricity market players (i.e., generating companies, traders, suppliers, distributors, and directly connected customers) according to non-discriminatory and transparent rules. In many countries, TSOs are in charge of the development of the grid infrastructure, too. TSOs in the European Union internal electricity market are entities operating independently from the other electricity market players (unbundling).[10]
ENTSO-E contained 39 Member TSOs from 35 countries as of September 2022.[11] Due to Brexit three Great Britain based operators left and only Northern Ireland's SONI remains from the UK.[12]
On 14 January 2016 TEİAŞ signed an agreement with ENTSO-E to become first observer member, the agreement expired in January 2019.[13] On 26 April 2022 Ukrenergo signed Observer Membership Agreement with ENTSO-E.[14] On 13 December 2022 TEİAŞ signed a new Observer Membership Agreement that will run for a period of three years.[15]

Geographical areaEdit
Map of the extent
The geographical area covered by ENTSO-E's member TSOs is divided into five synchronous areas and two isolated systems (Cyprus and Iceland). Synchronous areas are groups of countries that are connected via their respective power systems. The system frequency (50 Hz, with usually very minor deviations) is synchronous within each area, and a disturbance at one single point in the area will be registered across the entire zone. Individual synchronous areas are interconnected through direct current interconnectors.
The benefits of synchronous areas include pooling of generation capacities, common provisioning of reserves, both resulting in cost-savings, and mutual assistance in the event of disturbances, resulting in cheaper reserve power costs (for instance in case of a disturbance or outage).[16]
Legal basisEdit
The Third Energy Package and Regulation (EC) No 714/2009[17] on conditions for access to the network for cross-border exchanges in electricity regulation stipulate ENTSO-E's tasks and responsibilities. Regulation (EU) 838/2010[18] on guidelines relating to the inter-TSO compensation mechanism sets out the methodology by which TSOs receive compensation for the costs incurred in hosting cross-border flows of electricity. Regulation (EU) 347/2013[19] on guidelines for trans-European energy infrastructure defines European Projects of Common Interest (PCIs)[20] identifies ENTSO-E's ten-year network development plan (TYNDP)[21] as the basis for the selection of PCIs. ENTSO-E is also mandated to develop a corresponding cost–benefit methodology[22] for the assessment of transmission infrastructure projects.
The Transparency Regulation (EU) No. 543/2013 [23] on submission and publication of data in electricity markets makes it mandatory for European Member State data providers and owners to submit fundamental information related to electricity generation, load, transmission, balancing, outages, and congestion management for publication through the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform.[16]
Key activitiesEdit
Pan-European Transmission Network plans and cost–benefit analysisEdit
The ten-year network development plan 2016 (TYNDP)[24] is drafted by ENTSO-E, in close cooperation with stakeholders, under scrutiny of ACER and is finally adopted by the European Commission. It is the only existing pan-European network development plan. It is the basis for the selection of EU projects of common interest (PCIs).[25] The list of PCIs is not fixed by ENTSO-E and is subject to a different process led by the European Commission and EU Member States.
The TYNDP is updated every two years. For inclusion in the TYNDP, each project, whether transmission or storage, has to go through a cost–benefit analysis. The benefit analysis methodology[22] is developed by ENTSO-E in consultation with stakeholders and adopted by the European Commission. It assesses projects against socio-economic and environmental criteria.[16]
Adequacy forecastsEdit
ENTSO-E publishes summer and winter generation outlooks,[26] well as a long-term system adequacy forecast, the Scenario Outlook & Adequacy Forecast (SO&AF).[27] The seasonal outlooks assess if there is enough generation to cover supply and highlight possibilities for neighbouring countries to contribute to the generation/demand balance in critical situations in a specific country. The SO&AF analyses system adequacy on the long-term and is connected to investment decisions.[16]
Network codesEdit
ENTSO-E's network codes are binding pan-European rules drafted by ENTSO-E in consultation with stakeholders, with guidance from ACER. Network codes are grouped in three areas:
connection codes connecting electricity generators, demand, and direct current lines to the transmission grids;
operational codes governing how the pan-European electricity systems are operated;
and market codes facilitating and harmonising electricity trading across European borders.[16][28]
The drafting and adoption process of network codes is defined by the Third Package. ACER develops a framework guideline setting the policy choices for each code. On this basis, the codes are drafted by ENTSO-E in consultation with stakeholders. After ACER's opinion and recommendation for adoption, each code is submitted to the European Commission for approval through the Comitology process, i.e., to be voted on by Member State representatives and thus to become EU law, directly binding and implemented across all Member States.[16]
Transparency Platform (TP)Edit
ENTSO-E's Central Information Transparency Platform[29] provides free access to fundamental data and information on pan-European wholesale energy generation, transmission, and consumption.[30]
Research, development, and innovation (RDI)Edit
ENTSO-E's R&D Roadmap[31] provides the ENTSO-E vision on grid projects to be carried out by TSOs to meet EU objectives. The roadmap is supported by the annual R&D Implementation Plan,[32] which combines both top-down and bottom-up approaches in meeting the requirements of the roadmap. ENTSO-E publishes annually a R&D Monitoring Report[33] that assesses the progress of TSO-related R&D work.[16]
GovernanceEdit
ENTSO-E is an international non-profit association (AISBL) established according to Belgian law. ENTSO-E is financed by its members. The TSOs contribute to the budget according to the number of countries and the population served.[16]
The highest body of ENTSO-E is the Assembly, which is composed of representatives at CEO level of all the currently 43 members. The ENTSO-E Board is elected every two years from the overall membership and through the Assembly. It includes 12 representatives. The president, vice president, and committee chairs are invited to board meetings. The board coordinates the committees and LRG work and implements Assembly decisions.[16][34]
ENTSO-E has established four specialized committees[35] composed of managers from member TSOs. Each committee leads a number of regional groups and working groups.
At the same level as the four committees, the transversal Legal & Regulatory Group[36] advises all ENTSO-E bodies on legal and regulatory issues. In addition, expert groups on data, network codes implementation, and EU affairs provide specific expertise and work products to the association.[16]
ENTSO-E's Secretariat is based in Brussels. It is headed by the secretary-general and represents ENTSO-E to the European institutions, regulators, and stakeholders.

The "unfinished work" of those who died (line 16) was the task of bringing the war to a close. … When he refers to "a new birth of freedom" (line 22), Lincoln means that once the war has finally ended, the nation will thrive under the notion that all men are created equal.

Ok, so I got UStream.tv to work and I think I like it even better than Stickam.com. It seems to work really well and I also got my old video camera to hook up so I can send video that isn't right up in my face via iSight.
Hopefully UStream also works out some things with WordPress and Virb so that I can embed the video feed right in there to make it easier for people.
Ok, it's late and I'm tired. Peace be with you.


This weekend Warner Bros. presented a panel at WonderCon, and director Michael Dougherty showed up to talk about Godzilla: King of the Monsters and show us some new footage from the film.
When talking about the movie, Dougherty explained that this is the movie that will put the "God" back into Godzilla. When developing this film they were looking to treat treat these titans as the ancient deities that they are.
I think this has come off in the trailers that we've seen for the film, but the best trailer for the movie that I've seen probably won't even be released before the film hits theaters.
During the panel, WB shared a five-minute exclusive trailer that was so big, epic, and powerful that it actually brought tears to my eyes. It was a beautiful trailer that was filled with some incredibly epic jaw-dropping footage.
The new footage screened started off with Vera Farmiga's character with Millie Bobby Brown setting explosives up on an ice wall where a military base has been set up. They obviously aren't supposed to be there. Behind the ice wall is King Ghidorah, who is trapped.
After the explosives are set, Farmiga and Brown get on a helicopter with a crew of people, and as they fly away Farmiga detonates the explosives and unleashing the Titan on the world. As you might imagine, the military personnel left to deal with it and die in the process are wondering what in the hell is going on!
As chaos ensues and King Ghidorah makes his glorious introduction, Farmiga's character sends a signal out with sounds from a device, and this must be a way to call Godzilla because then Godizilla races into action and rises from under the ice. He faces off with King Ghidorah, and they are about to fight.
I'm not completely sure why King Ghidorah was released, but I imagine Farmiga has her reasons, which we will learn in the film. It was revealed that Brown, Farmiga, and Chandler are a broken family of survivors of the events of the 2014 film.
We also see a bunch of quick clips from the film of the monsters causing all kinds of epic destruction and chaos! One of the coolest moments is when King Ghidorah blasts freakin' lightning fire from its mouths, disintegrating people. We also see him and Godzilla basting at each other with their atomic rays. They just showed so many incredible scenes showing the various monsters in all of their epically majestic glory.
As a longtime Godzilla fan, it wasn't hard to get all emotional as I watch the footage unfold. It was truly awesome, and I hope that it eventually is released online for all of you to see!

One of the first quotations on book about TEB.
Probably the first book on pop music edited in Italy, "Guida alla musica pop" ("Guide to Pop Music"), translation of German "Das Buch der neuen Pop Musik" written by journalist Rolf-Urlich Kaiser (1971 the Italian edition edited by Mondadori; 1969 the German one edited by Econ; also a Spanish edition was printed the first time in 1972...), contains some few notes about the Third Ear Band.
A short file card on the group with this interesting recollection of Glen Sweeney related to the origins of band's music:
"The prototype Third Ear was electric, and we were doing what we called "electric acid raga" - which was terribly pretentious, and in fact was the most diabolic thing you ever heard in your life... After that, most of our equipment was stolen, and we found ourself with just oboe, violin and hand drums - and we were really depressed, we thought it was the end really... we're all interested in music - the other three guys are out of classical music colleges - and we do a lot of listening and a lot of talking about it and we've got a basic theory that music, or sound or whatever you like to call it, came a long time before musical notation... and working along that theory we found that Western notation is a kind of symbolism which has been evolved in order to kind of measure the music...".
After a slim discography (only the first two albums, of course...), just an address (for a possible contact?):
Blackhill Enterprises
32, Alexander Street, London W2
Plea.
On next July I'll be in London for holidays and I'll meet probably Carolyn Looker (Glen Sweeney's partner), Dave Tomlin, Steve Pank, Ursula Smith, John 'Hoppy' Hopkins, Clive Kingsley...
If you have specific questions to ask them, about the story of the band, please write me through the personal e-mail address and I'll use it for the interviews...
Brief memories of Jim Haynes about the Arts Lab and the TEB.
I have contacted Jim Haynes to interview him about the Arts Lab and the Thirds. He was agreed with it ("Yes, you may interview me about the TEB, but I am afraid that I have very little to say. My memory of events in those far away days is extremely limited..."), but when I sent him some specific questions, he answered just this:
Barry Miles (left) and Jim Haynes in a recent photo.
"Luca, The Arts Lab was a product of its time.
I was young and full of creative energy and believed that I could do anything. I wanted to make a mixed-media centre that would be full of life. And I succeeded!
London was the capital of the world in the mid-60s.
I don't remember how I met anyone in the 60s; they just all came to the Arts Lab and I suddenly knew everyone. I loved their concerts. They were magic. Often only candle light.
We closed the Lab because I ran out of money and the landlord wanted his property back.
Sorry I do not remember more...
Jim"
Jim Haynes is a key-figure of the Sixties English (European) underground. Info and news about him at his personal Web site (http://www.jim-haynes.com/).
His autobiographical "Thanks for coming!", published in 1984 by Faber & Faber, is a funny reading, really important to understand the climax of that time...
An old Glen Sweeney interview published in a Brazilian book!
Brazilian DJ and journalist Fabio Massari did an interview by telephone with Glen Sweeney in 1991. He transmitted the interview during his programme "Rock Report" with some edited TEB tracks (probably for the first time in Brazil!).
Now that interview is included in a book titled "Emissoes Noturnas. Cadernos radiofonicos de fm" ("Nocturnal Emissions. A FM radio album") published by Grinta Cultural in 2003.
In the short interview, talking about the origins of TEB, Sweeney admitted his delusion for the scarce result of "Macbeth" soundtrack.
He said: "The album was an our big commercial opportunity. We had a great expectation, but the distribution was terrible... as for the film as for the record. We did play some concerts to promote it, but we lose some of our energy... we had economic problems and we were sad about negative results".
About the new album recorded for Materiali Sonori, "Magic Music", Sweeney explained that "a music is magic because it doesn't exist, it hasn't a concrete form. So the voice... It's all very subjective, so it's magic".
"Are TEB playing "world music"?" - asked the journalist.
"It's cosmic music! It's music of the universe. It embraces all cultures, we mix all kind of references - Africans, Indians... We play every kind of mixture...".
The 152 pages book, among the others, also includes interviews with great musicians/bands as Nick Cave, Sonic Youth, Ramones, Henry Rollins, Wayne Kramer, Ozric Tentacles.

Steve Pank about the origins of the Third Ear Band.
On July 2004, Steve Pank, original TEB road manager and promoter, wrote a piece for the booklet of "The Magus" CD, under the name of Steve Barker.
This is the first part of it, related to the origins of the TEB, that I print with the kind permission of Steve.
"The Third Ear Band was born out of the mystical swirlings of the artistic underground of the London of 1967.
In the early Sixties the free jazz revolution in New York City happened, and a flurry of records on the ESP label came out, in the wake of the experiments by Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra etc.
Glen, then a jazz drummer, had an idea for a free jazz group with a light show and poetry, and he visualised that this could produce a commercially successful record. He advertised in the "Melody Maker" for musicians and among those whose applied were Dick Daden, an ex army trombone player who had worked commercially in circus bands, a tenor saxophone player of Russian descent called Jan Diakov, and a trumpet player whose name was Steve Pank.
Sounds Nova rehearsed upstairs in a public house in Barons Court, called the Barons Arms, later called the Nashville. Glen's partner Caroline read poems by the Beat poets, and a primitive lighting system flashed for effect. This band still existed in 1966 when a newspaper called the "International Times" appeared, describing itself as an underground newspaper.
Around this time, Glen met Dave Tomlin, a new wave [free jazz] player who played tenor and soprano saxophone and flute. Dave was well respected on the jazz scene and had led jazz groups including such people as Jack Bruce of the Cream and John Hiseman, later of Coliseum. He had also played on a tour supporting Ornette Coleman.
Soon after this, the publisher of the "International Times", John Hopkins, or 'Hoppy', started a weekly Friday night all-nighter called UFO, in the premises of the Blarney club, an Irish club in the Tottenham Court road. It was run to raise funds for running "International Times".
Hoppy asked Dave Tomlin to play there. Dave asked Glen to accompany him and the free jazz duo they formed was called The Giant Sun Trolley. UFO was a mixed media event with light shows, film clips, poets and bands. It was also a launching platform for bands such as the Pink Floyd and the Soft Machine.
Around December 1966, the offices of the "International Times" were raided, and the police took virtually everything out of the office in Southampton Row. It was decided to continue with the newspaper, and to hold a bumper event called the "14 hour Technicolour Dream" in Alexandra Palace, as publicity and as a fundraiser for relaunching the paper. At this event Glen had a pickup band with a guitarist called Clive Kingsley, and a saxophone player called Barry Pilcher. This group was called the Hydrogen Jukebox. They gained notoriety at the event by accompanying a girl called Nita having a paper dress cut off her with scissors, this was reported with a photograph in the "News of the World".
Late in 1967, Glen formed the first edition of the Third Ear Band, a name suggested to him by Caroline, taken from a book title.
Soon after its formation, the van carrying the equipment was broken into and Glen's drum kit was stolen. Nothing daunted, Glen formed another line-up with his friend oboe player Paul Minns, and decided to play hand drums. He then met viola player Ben Cartland who had played with Steve Took, the original drummer of the duo Tyrannosaurus Rex. Ben had an intriguing style of using one string on the viola as a drone and playing notes up and down the next string up giving his style a very Indian sound.
Soon after this, Richard Coff joined the band on violin. Richard was a classically trained violinist from Florida. With this line up, the early Third Ear Band did a number of performances in a church hall called All Saints Hall [now demolished] in Notting Hill. They signed a management deal with Blackhill Enterprises, formerly the Pink Floyd management who booked them into concerts and colleges around the country. They had a weekly residency in the Arts Lab, run by Jim Haynes [on the photo below] in Covent Garden, and performed in the Albert Hall at the 'Alchemical Wedding', an Arts Lab benefit at which John and Yoko also performed.
Shortly after this Ben Cartland left the band and. Glen cast around for a replacement, a bass instrument. He engaged Mel Davis, an avant-garde jazz pianist who was the leader of the People Band, and who also played the cello. At this time the band's road managers were Steve Pank and Jan Diakov, former members of Sounds Nova. Meanwhile, Blackhill Enterprises had negotiated a record deal EMI on the Harvest Label. It was this band line up which recorded the first album for Harvest Label, 'Alchemy', along with guest appearances by John Peel, [jaws harp] and Dave Tomlin, by now playing the violin. Mel Davis left shortly after the album was recorded. Initially Mel's replacement was Paul Buckmaster, the cellist and arranger.
The Third Ear Band was the opening act at the free concert given by the Rolling Stones in Hyde Park. Subsequently, because of his other commitments, Paul Buckmaster left and his place was taken by cellist Ursula Smith, a graduate of the Royal Academy of Music, who first met with the band at a benefit concert for the remand inmates in Holloway Prison.
The first album was released and the band did a concert in Queen Elizabeth Hall called 'The Crab and the Crescent Moon', titled from a dream that Glen had had. Then later they did a National tour with folk singer Al Stewart.
In summer 1969t the Third Ear Band appeared on the Bill with Bob Dylan at the Isle of Wight Festival.
The second album, called variously "The Third Ear Band" or "Air Earth Fire Water" after the titles of the four tracks on it, appeared early in 1970.
Early in 1971 Ursula Smith and Richard Coff left the band and Paul Buckmaster returned. Along with guitarist Denny Bridges.
This was the line-up which recorded the music for the Roman Polanski film of "Macbeth" and the album 'Macbeth', the last one recorded under the EMI Harvest contract...".

Glen Sweeney interviewed himself in 1991 talking about the Hydrogen Jukebox!
This is a very exclusive document, an unrealised interview made by Glen Sweeney to himself in 1991 to give me informations for writing down an article on the Hydrogen Jukebox, just before Materiali Sonori realised "Prophecies".
Glen had the idea to record at home on an old Dindy Super C46 tape (!) some questions to answer by himself. The thing was quite funny and we joked for some weeks talking about it...

Let's go Browns, and let's go Colts.
The Giants' players won't be draft board watching this Christmas weekend, but their front office, fans and prospective general managers and head coaches sure will be. And wins by both Cleveland and Indianapolis help Big Blue.
The Giants (2-12), who would pick No. 2 in April's draft if the season ended today, still have a chance to jump Cleveland for the No. 1 overall pick but also could slide back behind Indianapolis into No. 3 or worse.
It all depends on the results of Weeks 16 and 17, and not just whether the Browns (0-14), Giants (2-12) and Colts (3-11) win or lose. The entire league's schedule could impact the draft order, because if two teams finish with an identical regular season record, the tiebreaker is strength of schedule.
So if the Giants and Browns both finish 2-14, the No. 1 pick will go to the team that played the schedule with the lowest winning percentage. The same goes if the Giants and Colts both finish 3-13: the team that played the schedule with the lower winning percentage will be awarded the higher pick.
This is assuming that the Giants finish with only two or three wins on the season and don't beat both Arizona on Christmas Eve and Washington on New Year's Eve to finish 4-12. If they do that, they could topple into a logjam of current four-win teams that currently includes the Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers.
Cleveland hasn't clinched the No. 1 pick yet because if the Browns and Giants both finish with 2-14 regular season records, the Giants conceivably could have the weaker strength of schedule and therefore get the higher pick and bump the Browns to No. 2.
The odds that Cleveland wins both of its next two games aren't great, and that's the only way the Giants can get the No. 1 pick. The Browns are on the road at the Bears and Steelers, and Pittsburgh probably won't be resting players in Week 17 because at that point, the Steelers likely still will be playing for something: either challenging New England for homefield advantage or fending off Jacksonville for a first-round bye.
But if the Browns somehow do win both games and the Giants lose both of theirs and both teams finish 2-14, it's on to strength of schedule. And the Giants still can win that tiebreaker.
Entering Week 16, the Browns' full slate of opponents have a .513 winning percentage (115 wins, 109 losses). The record of the Giants' opponents is only slightly better at a .526 winning percentage (118 wins, 106 losses). Those numbers will swing dramatically not just based on the Browns' and Giants' own results but on wins and losses from all of the teams on both their schedules.
So making up a few percentage points would not be difficult and the Giants aren't out of the No. 1 overall pick sweepstakes. But first, they need the Browns to win. Cleveland is at Chicago at 1 p.m. ET on Christmas Eve, three hours prior to the Giants' game in Arizona against the Cardinals.
The Giants have made it clear they aren't tanking, aka losing on purpose. But they could guarantee themselves the No. 2 pick at worst by losing both of their remaining games. At 2-14, they could only have the No. 1 or No. 2 pick, depending on the Browns' results and strength of schedule tiebreaker explained above.
Giants fans can get their cheering in a full day before Big Blue faces the Cardinals on Sunday afternoon. The first game of Week 16, a Saturday afternoon 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff between the Indianapolis Colts and Baltimore Ravens on NFL Network, also impacts whether the Giants will hold on to the No. 2 overall pick.
The Colts right now own the tiebreaker with a much worse strength of schedule (.486 winning percentage; 109 wins, 115 losses) than the Giants' (.526 winning percentage; 118 wins, 106 losses). So the Giants want to avoid finishing with Indy at the end of the year.
An Indy win over Baltimore would give the Colts four wins on the season to the Giants' two entering Sunday's game in Arizona, increasing the likelihood that the Giants would stay at No. 2 at worst. But a Colts loss and a Giants win this weekend would give both teams a 3-12 record entering Week 17, and the Giants would be in jeopardy of falling to No. 3 overall and even further, depending on if Big Blue won its regular season finale what the four-win teams do.
Finally, if the Giants finish with the same record as the Browns or Colts and their strengths of schedule are identical, the next tiebreaker is their records against common opponents in their division or conference. And if the divisional or conference tiebreakers aren't applicable, the tie would be broken by a coin flip.
That's right. A coin flip. Better to lose and not let some loose change dictate the Giants' fate.

Q: size of library is bigger in release mode then debug mode in VS2010 Currently i am compiling DLMS library(http://www.gurux.fi/index.php?q=DLMSCOSEMFAQ) using Visual Studio 2010 (Using C++).
I am successfully compiled the library in debug and release mode. But When i check the size of both library then release one library(.lib) have more then double size(76 MB) then debug one(31 MB).
I think release one have smaller size the debug one, is it right?
Is any setting needed in VS2010?
Find build release log here http://pastie.org/9687316
For debug log here http://pastie.org/9687340

A: Changes the Setting - Configuration Properties > General > Whole Program Optimization
from "Use Link Time Code Generation" to "No Whole Program Optimization"
After this change the library size came down from 76MB to 21MB on my machine.
Check out the attached image. Hope this helps you out.

A: You should compare your build settings, esp. optimization and library linking (static / dynamic). If you are unsure, copy your command line for both linker and compiler and we can check it for you here.
The command line can be found in the build log, or in project Properties / C/C++ / Command Line and Properties / Linker / Command Line.
For compiler the most important settings to look for are /O, /M.
For linker I would look esp. for /OPT.
Your compiler switches are:
/c /Zi /nologo /W3 /WX- /O2 /Oi /Oy- /GL /D WIN32 /D NDEBUG /D _LIB /D _UNICODE /D UNICODE /Gm- /EHsc /MD /GS /Gy /fp:precise /Zc:wchar_t /Zc:forScope /Fo"Release\\" /Fd"Release\vc100.pdb" /Gd /TP /analyze- /errorReport:prompt GuruxDLMS\GXDateTime.cpp
What is causing your library to be big is /GL. For explanation see Release mode static library much larger than debug mode version.

A: I remember checking this after a co-worker complain. Try to play with the compiler switches until the size are identical, then check the documentation of those switches

3 Questions: David Singer on China and the renminbi
MIT political scientist looks beyond the headlines about China's new currency status.
Caption: "Symbolically, the IMF has raised the status of the renminbi by placing it in the same category as the dollar, euro, yen, and pound," David Singer says.
"Symbolically, the IMF has raised the status of the renminbi by placing it in the same category as the dollar, euro, yen, and pound," David Singer says.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) made headline news this week by designating China's currency, the renminbi, one of five "special drawing right" currencies, which may increase its use globally. Since China's currency policy has often been a source of international political tension, we asked David Singer, associate professor of political science at MIT and a leading expert on currency politics, to explain the implications of China's new currency status.
Q. What is the significance of the IMF's announcement?
A. The IMF announced that the renminbi will be included in the basket of currencies that make up the "special drawing right" (SDR), a reserve asset created by the IMF in 1969. This decision has both symbolic and practical significance. Symbolically, the IMF has raised the status of the renminbi by placing it in the same category as the dollar, euro, yen, and pound, which together have made up the SDR basket since it was last updated in 1999. The practical significance is that the IMF's decision constitutes a "seal of approval" that could prompt greater global use of the renminbi by central banks, other financial institutions, and multinational corporations. The benefits to China could be immense: lower borrowing costs on sovereign bond markets, greater profits for Chinese financial institutions, and easier access to capital for Chinese firms and households.
Over the past several years, China has made it easier for foreign central banks to buy and sell renminbi and for investors to purchase renminbi-denominated bonds. Moreover, China has gradually adjusted its exchange-rate policy from a strict dollar peg to today's policy of allowing market forces to play a greater role. Many observers believe that China must undertake many additional reforms to foster an open economy with deep and liquid financial markets, but the IMF's decision constitutes an official acknowledgement that the renminbi has already become an important "freely usable" global currency.
Q. In the near term, what impact would you anticipate the IMF's decision having, either on government decisions or in markets?
A. To be honest, I think the press has exaggerated the potential impact of the IMF's decision. One headline proclaimed "IMF Approves Reserve-Currency Status" for the renminbi, but this is misleading. Central banks around the world are free to hold whichever currencies they believe are most appropriate for their needs. The four elite currencies are widely held, but there are others that find their way into central banks' coffers.
The IMF reports that as of the second quarter of 2015, central banks held over $125 billion worth of Canadian dollars and a similar amount of Australian dollars, not too far behind their $255 billion stash of Japanese yen. The Canadian and Australian dollars are not constituents of the SDR, but nevertheless central banks find these currencies to be safe, stable, and useful for facilitating international commerce. Central banks also hold substantial amounts of Swiss francs and, yes, renminbi.
Central banks are similar to other investors in that they are attracted to countries with deep and transparent financial markets, free movement of goods and capital across borders, strict rule of law, and stable political systems. If the renminbi becomes more internationalized in the coming years, it will be attributable to China's advances in these areas rather than the IMF's decision regarding the composition of the SDR basket.
Q. Then let's look at the political side of this again. Does this move put pressure on China to adjust its legal or political systems in any way?
A. China's currency policy has been a hot-button issue in U.S. politics for years. Since the 1990s, many politicians and business leaders have called on the U.S. Treasury to label China a "currency manipulator," a charge that could open the door for protectionist measures like tariffs. On this issue, the IMF's decision is a double-edged sword. The new status of the renminbi helps to shield China against politically charged accusations of currency manipulation from U.S. politicians, but it also makes China more vulnerable to calls for greater economic liberalization. As many observers have noted, the renminbi is not yet freely "convertible"— there remain many government-imposed restrictions on the ability of foreigners to invest in stocks, real estate, and other assets, and domestic residents face similar obstacles to using their renminbi for foreign purchases. U.S. politicians and business leaders will no doubt use the renminbi's new status as a political tool to push China for further reforms. Their mantra will be: If the renminbi is to sit comfortably alongside the other elite currencies of the world, then the Chinese economy should reflect the same standards of open exchange that are embraced by its elite peers.

Drazkowski will also recognize the organization's commemoration of our state's 150th birthday by presenting them with an official Minnesota Sesquicentennial flag at a ceremony on November 28. "The Sesquicentennial of Minnesota is a once in a lifetime event, and I am pleased that this grant will help us celebrate our region's rich history," Drazkowski said. The Minnesota Sesquicentennial Commission announced in September that the group received a $1,000 grant for collaborating with Minnesota Baptist Ladies Aid Society to renovate and create function archives at Minnesota City's historic Baptist Church site. Of the Sesquicentennial's original $750,000 funding by the state legislature, $325,000 was set aside to be given as grants to communities throughout Minnesota for use toward local celebrations, commemorations or enduring projects that reflect Minnesota's Sesquicentennial. Area residents are welcome to attend the Minnesota City Historical Association ceremony, which will begin at 1:00 p.m. at the historic Baptist Church, located at 140 Mill St., in Minnesota City on Wednesday, November 28.

\section*{Abstract}
{\bf
QCD predictions for final states with multiple jets in hadron collisions
make use of multi-jet merging methods, which allow one to combine
consistently the contributions from hard scattering matrix elements with different parton multiplicities and
parton showers. In this article I consider a multi-jet merging method that
has recently been proposed to take into account the effects of transverse
momentum dependent (TMD) evolution and parton shower, and present
studies focusing on the application of this method to jets associated with
Drell-Yan (DY) production in the region of high masses.
}

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}

Drell-Yan (DY) plus jets final states are important at the LHC for tests of the standard model as well as for backgrounds to Higgs studies and beyond standard model studies.  Baseline predictions for this are obtained by perturbative fixed-order calculations combined with parton showers in Monte Carlo event generators. Such predictions employ PDFs, which describe initial-state partonic structure and evolution within the collinear approximation.

In certain regions of the DY plus jets phase space, however, it becomes important to treat initial state QCD effects by including transverse momentum dependent (TMD) distributions \cite{Angeles-Martinez:2015sea}, going beyond collinear PDFs. TMD effects in DY plus jets have been the subject of recent studies \cite{Martinez:2022wrf, Chien:2022wiq, Yang:2022qgk, Buonocore:2022mle, Martinez:2021chk, Chien:2019gyf, Sun:2018icb, Buffing:2018ggv}.

In this article I apply the TMD jet merging method \cite{Martinez:2021chk} to study the differential jet rates (DJRs) associated with DY production as a function of the DY mass. In particular, I consider the region of high DY masses, and investigate the behavior of the TMD merging method and the merging scale in this new mass region.

This article is organized as follows. I introduce the theoretical framework for TMD evolution and TMD merging in section \ref{sec:theory}. In section \ref{sec:sliding} I present numerical calculations of the DJRs and discuss their main features. In section \ref{sec:conclusion} I give conclusions.

\section{Parton Branching method and TMD merging} \label{sec:theory}
The parton branching (PB) method developed in \cite{Hautmann:2017xtx, Hautmann:2017fcj} describes the evolution of TMDs by means of real-emission splitting functions, Sudakov form factors and angular ordering phase space constraints. Nonperturbative distributions at the initial scale of order 1 GeV are determined from fits to experimental data \cite{BermudezMartinez:2018fsv}. For applications, the evolved TMD distributions are matched with fixed-order hard-scattering matrix elements \cite{Yang:2022qgk,Martinez:2019mwt}. The TMD distributions and corresponding TMD parton shower are implemented in the Monte Carlo event generator \textsc{Cascade3} \cite{Baranov:2021uol}.

Applications to DY transverse momentum spectra, using PB TMDs matched with next-to-leading-order (NLO) DY matrix elements via MC@NLO \cite{Alwall:2014hca}, have been studied in\cite{Martinez:2019mwt}  for LHC energies and in \cite{BermudezMartinez:2020tys} for lower energies. Applications for jets have been studied in \cite{Abdulhamid:2021xtt} by the same method.

It is found in \cite{Martinez:2019mwt} that NLO-matched PB TMD predictions provide a very good description of experimental LHC measurements of the Z-boson transverse momentum $q_T$ distribution in the low $q_T$ region and middle $q_T$ region ($q_T \lesssim M_Z$) while a deficit is observed in the prediction compared to experimental data in the high $q_T$ region. The low $q_T$ region is dominated by soft-gluon radiation emitted through TMD evolution. The high $q_T$ region is dominated by hard, perturbative emissions, and the deficit points to the lack of higher orders beyond the first hard emission in an NLO calculation.

A method to include higher order emissions corresponding to Z + n partons has been devised in \cite{Martinez:2021chk} based on multi-jet merging. The method extends the MLM merging\cite{Mangano:2006rw, Alwall:2007fs, Mrenna:2003if, Mangano:2002bhl} to the case of TMD parton branching, rather than collinear parton branching. It allows one to combine consistently, without double counting or missing events, high multiplicity matrix elements with the TMD parton showers and TMD parton distributions. Using the TMD merging, a good description of the Z-boson $q_T$ spectrum is obtained not only at low $q_T$ but also at high $q_T$. This observation is also made by the recent CMS collaboration analysis \cite{CMS:2022ilp}.

The key features of the TMD jet merging, compared to the collinear MLM merging are that, owing to taking into account the transverse momentum in the initial state parton cascade: i) a better description of high multiplicity jet final states is achieved, and ii) a reduction of the systematic uncertainties due to the merging parameters is observed in the theoretical predictions.

In refs. \cite{Martinez:2021chk,Martinez:2021dwx}, multi-jet observables in Z + jets production are studied using the TMD merging in the region near the Z boson mass.
In the next section, calculations with TMD merging away from the Z-boson mass are shown to explore the behavior of the TMD merging approach and its merging scale in the region of high masses.

\section{DJRs in DY + jets at high masses}
\label{sec:sliding}
Differential jet rates (DJRs) are the distributions of the variable $d_{n,n+1}$, which is the square of the energy scale at which an $n$-jet configuration is resolved as an $(n+1)$-jet configuration, with jets defined according to the kT jet algorithm \cite{CATANI1993187,Ellis:1993tq}. They are sensitive to the consistency of any jet merging method, which makes them appropriate quantities to validate the merging algorithm.

The calculational set-up is as follows. With MadGraph5\_aMC@NLO \cite{Alwall:2014hca} I generate Les Houches Event (LHE) files at leading order (LO) containing hard scattering events - that represent the matrix elements - for pp collisions to Z + 0, 1, 2, 3 jet final states at a centre-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. A generation cut of 16 GeV sets the lower limit of emitted transverse momentum by the partons in these events. The transverse momentum at the hard scale is generated by forward evolution \cite{Hautmann:2017xtx} using the PB-TMD Set 2 \cite{BermudezMartinez:2018fsv} provided by the TMDlib library \cite{Abdulov:2021ivr, Hautmann:2014kza}. Parton shower emissions are generated in the TMD shower in \textsc{Cascade} \cite{Baranov:2021uol} following the PB evolution dynamics in a backwards manner. The TMD merging algorithm \cite{Martinez:2021chk} at LO is implemented within the event generator. Hadronization is turned off, since this enters the calculation only after the merging and would not affect the DJRs.

The merging scale in a merged calculation (indicated with $E_\perp^{\text{clus}}$) represents the minimal transverse energy of a jet to pass the merging algorithm. The effect on the DJR is that the region below the merging scale is dominated by the TMD and TMD shower, while the region above the merging scale is dominated by the matrix element.

We investigate DJRs at different hard interaction scales to study the behavior of the merging scale when the hard scale varies.
For di-lepton mass around the $Z$-boson mass,
a merging scale of 23 GeV has been applied~\cite{Martinez:2021chk}.
This    works  well for TMD merging of Z+jets as observed in \cite{Martinez:2021dwx}. Figure \ref{fig:MZetclus23} shows that the DJRs are smooth in this regime.

     \caption{DJRs for Z+jets around the Z boson mass with a merging scale $E_\perp^{\text{clus}}=23$ GeV.}
     \label{fig:MZetclus23}
\end{figure}

In Figures \ref{fig:etclus23} and \ref{fig:etclus70}, we show the DJRs resulting from studies in the scenario where the minimal mass of the di-lepton pair is set to 800 GeV. At the merging scale  of 23 GeV ($\log(23)=1.36$), a discontinuity occurs (Fig. \ref{fig:etclus23}). To resolve this discontinuity, higher merging scales have been applied to the calculation. Application of a merging scale of 70 GeV ($\log(70)=1.85$) does not lead to discontinuities  as with the 23 GeV merging scale (Fig. \ref{fig:etclus70}).

     \caption{DJRs for a minimal DY mass $M_{ll}^{\text{min}}=800$ GeV and a merging scale $E_\perp^{\text{clus}}=23$ GeV.}
     \label{fig:etclus23}
\end{figure}

By applying a larger merging scale to events with high di-lepton masses, the low multiplicity samples contribute more at higher scales. For example, $d_{01}$ is smoother when the $2\rightarrow 2$ sample contributes largely up to 70 GeV instead of falling down rapidly at scales larger than 23 GeV.

\section{Conclusion} \label{sec:conclusion}

Transverse momentum recoils in the initial-state shower,
taken into account via TMD distributions, affect the
theoretical systematics of predictions
for jet final
states \cite{Dooling:2012uw,Hautmann:2012dw,Hautmann:2013fla}.
Focusing on the
case of DJR variables in DY + jets production, in
this article I have investigated, within a PB TMD framework
with multi-jet merging, the dependence of predictions
on the merging scale as a function of the DY mass scale.
I have shown in particular that the results support the
possibility of a merging scale increasing with mass.

It looks to be of interest to explore this possibility further,
also in the context of current developments on TMD
parton branching, such as the ongoing determination \cite{Barzani:2022msy} of
PB TMD distributions via
xFitter~\cite{xFitterDevelopersTeam:2022koz,Alekhin:2014irh}
including effects of dynamical
soft-gluon resolution scales~\cite{Hautmann:2019biw} and
angular ordering~\cite{Hautmann:2017fcj,Catani:1990rr,Marchesini:1987cf},
and the extension of the branching evolution to incorporate
TMD splitting functions~\cite{Hautmann:2022xuc,Catani:1994sq}. Besides, it will be interesting to compare the behavior
of the TMD merging algorithm with that of collinear merging algorithms
when the DY mass scale is varied.

Watch Paul McCartney Join Steven Van Zandt at London Show
Martin Kielty Published: November 5, 2017
Paul McCartney made a guest appearance with Steven Van Zandt's band in London last night (Nov. 4), as the pair aimed to complete what the Bruce Springsteen guitarist called "unfinished business." Watch their London, U.K. performance of the Beatles classic "I Saw Her Standing There" above.
It's thought Van Zandt was referring to a Springsteen show in 2012, where McCartney's guest appearance was cut short when Hard Rock Calling festival bosses cut the power to the stage.
"We love you, Stevie – we love your band," McCartney said of Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul, who are touring to promote latest album Soulfire. Saxophonist Ed Manion said later via Facebook: "Who says lightning doesn't strike twice in the same city. Seems everytime I come to London I get to play with the great Paul McCartney. Always a pleasure always a class act! I was 11 years old when I first heard the Beatles and probably the reason like many of my friends that I play the saxophone. So much fun tonight."
Van Zandt recently told Billboard of Soulfire: "Previously, politics was 100 percent my mission; the music came second. This one was the first one where the concept was me doing me. Me as a songwriter, as a guitar player, as an arranger, a producer. I never did that before. It's complicated because I'm doing songs that I wrote for other people. The next few records are the ones that are going to be interesting for me."
McCartney previously invited Springsteen and Can Zandt to guest on "I Saw Her Standing There" during his Madison Square Garden show in September this year.

ZENS Wireless Single Charger review
ZENS is taking Qi charging to the next level in style and function
I've been looking at Qi wireless chargers here lately, and every time the subject comes up someone wants to know more about the ZENS charger. We've all heard good things, and often enough that it was evident I needed to get one and have a look. I've used plenty of them, had some varying results, but I had never heard anything bad about the ZENS unit. At ShopAndroid.com, it has a solid five star rating after 26 reviews.
I think I understand why, after using one for a few days.
There's no secret, it's a Qi compatible coil housed in a casing that rests quietly on your desk or nightstand. As long as the Qi standard is followed faithfully (looking at you, first-run Nexus 4 and your weird issues in this area), setting a Qi compatible device on top of the coil should charge it. The Zens charger does just that, but someone put a little thought behind the rest of the unit.
The three popular choices for Qi charging your Nexus 7 or Droid DNA or Nexus 4 each have what's a pretty big flaw to contend with. The cheapest to use option, the Nokia wireless charger (my current choice), doesn't seem to work for a lot of phones out there unless you have it in the tiny sweet spot. Blame it on the phone or tablet, or blame it on the charger, but it's that way. If you have that lucky combo, it works great — but there's a good chance you don't.
The little puck from LG is easy to use, works pretty well for just about everyone, but it has a pair of ultra-brite LED lamps that can get really annoying if you want to charge your phone or tablet overnight in a dark room. You can tape over them, or tear the unit open and disconnect them, or you can just not buy it because it's designed with a silly bright ass blinking light. I swear to God that thing is evil.
The official charging orb for the Nexus 4 works really well, is chock full of HOLO, but everyone knows that getting a phone to stay on it through a charging cycle is a crap shoot. Nobody knows why, and we've heard theories from humidity to the friction coefficient of the material at certain temperatures and conditions, but the fact is a lot of glass-backed nexus 4 phones won't stay on it. The Nexus 7, with it's soft-touch plastic coating holds pretty well, but who know if your next device will?
None of those problems exist in the Zens charger. It's flat, it does have a light (but it's off by default), glows yellow when it senses a Qi compatible device, and glows green while actively charging. And it does all of this at a normal brightness that won't burn your eyes out in your sleep. The unit also senses when a device is fully charged and shuts off the coil to save energy and shut that light off. It's also coated with a nice grippy finish, that combined with it's big charging sweet spot makes it easy to place your device.
It's not 100-percent perfect. It uses a barrel plug and jack for the input instead of a more standard 5v USB input, and that big sweet spot is slightly off center, which is something you have to get used to. But that's it. There's nothing else about this one that I can complain about, and after trying at least a half-dozen of them I'm looking hard for things to complain about.
The unit as-is will charge your Nexus 4, Nexus 7 or Droid DNA right out of the box. There's also a kit with a replacment battery cover for both the Samsung Galaxy S4, and a stand-alone battery cover for the Galaxy S3 by the same manufacturer.
If you're going to invest in a Qi charger, it looks like the ZENS unit is the one to buy.
Ditch the cable and go wireless with these charging pads and stands
Charging with a cable is faster, but a wireless charger is much more convenient. These are the best you can buy, whether you want a pad, a stand, or a multi-device charger.

Bringing innovation to your facility

Fusing a new idea to an old system
Editor's note: Healthcare innovation involves doing something differently than how it's normally done, whether it's a new device, policy, or program. Many of these evidence-based practices, promising studies, and groundbreaking programs are never adopted outside their test facilities. Many fail to work or fall short of expectations when implemented elsewhere. And it's often difficult to get buy-in from healthcare staff and leadership on a new way of doing things.
PSMJ spoke with Craig Deao, MHA, senior leader at Studer Group, about how to tell whether a new innovation can work at your facility and how to successfully implement it.
Q: Reading the news every day makes it seem like the healthcare field abounds with "proven methods" and "evidence-based" innovations that could improve healthcare. Is that the reality?
Deao: For the most part, yes. I remember reading in the IOM's 2001 Crossing the Quality Chasm that "it takes an average of 17 years for new knowledge generated by randomized controlled trials to be incorporated into practice, and even then application is highly uneven."
And [17 years] is just the median, so there's still half the market that hasn't adopted the practice. So there are tons of best practices that are nowhere near application yet. There's a good case to be made that applying what is already known would drive an incredible amount of gains in quality (and lower cost). We see this every day in our work, where organizations are struggling with a specific metric yet have not hardwired known best practice.
On the other hand, it's also true that not every problem can be solved by applying a rules-based solution that worked elsewhere. There are legitimate differences in context that require art as well as science. The art is about knowing the difference between adapting best practices (changing them to fit the context) versus wholly adopting them. The trick is adapting without messing up why it works in the first place. Too often we see organizations adapt best practices to the point that they're no longer as effective. So, it's a fine line to walk.
It's not just about adopting best practices to achieve our goals, but I'd say that'd get us about 90% of the way there.
Q: How many innovations end up being adopted on a widespread scale in healthcare field?
Deao: Not enough. We often think of innovation as doing new things. But in healthcare, some of the best innovations are deciding what not to do—especially when the current practice has no evidence basis. The "Choosing Wisely" campaign is an excellent resource for both clinicians and patients that identifies lists upon lists of medical practices that should be questioned because they have no medical evidence to support their usage. Yet we still give too many antibiotics for colds and too many x-rays for low back pain.
