Thoughts on politics, law, culture and guns from an eclectic, but mainly center-right point of view
E.J. Dionne--Writing From Ignorance
E.J. Dione, being a good little lefty, doesn't like the idea of peaceful, law abiding citizens having handguns for self defense. That's understandable, it's almost a default position for him and his ilk; but he strays from the teleprompter and attempts to criticize the Heller decision, and Justice Scalia, its author, from a pit of abysmal ignorance and it's not a pretty site. My chief case in point starts with this paragraph from his op-ed piece:
But these pragmatic judgments underestimate how radical this decision is in light of the operating precedents of the past 69 years. The United States and its gun owners have done perfectly well since 1939, when an earlier Supreme Court interpreted the Second Amendment as implying a collective right to bear arms, but not an individual right. (Emphasis added).
It is not radical to see what the Second Amendment clearly states. It's radical to see in the Constitution rights that clearly don't exist, like to abortion and to gay marriage.
I have to admit that I don't actually know what Mr. Dionne means by "operating precedent." I'm going to assume it's the same as just plain old precedent. I note, however, that the 58 year old actual precedent from Eisentrager, which Justice Kennedy threw over, based on his mere whim, in Boumedienne, engendered no such outrage by E.J. The 69 year old case he is referring to is the Miller case, which did not hold in any way that the 2nd Amendment was not an individual right but a collective right (whatever that is--some sort of unique right not repeated anywhere else in the document). Mr. Dionne appears not to have read the decision but is dimly aware of the lack of such a holding when he says the Miller case implied such a non existent collective right. Precedent is never implied; it is rather clearly stated and it resolves the main issue before the court. That is, it is not obiter dicta.
So in the 'logic' of Mr. Dionne, that an editor of the Washington Post signs off on, the majority of the Supreme Court was "radical" for reading the Constitution as written, seeing a right plainly in there and not overturning a non precedential ruling in a case which did not address the same issue. No wonder he's outraged.
As to the statement that gun owners have done well since Miller was decided (the issue decided in that case was that the Supreme Court could not take judicial notice that a very short shotgun was a weapon useful to a member of the unorganized Militia), I have to point out that citizens of DC, Chicago, and parts of San Francisco have been deprived of their right to keep and bear arms for decades. Not doing so well in my book. But perhaps Mr. Dionne meant everyone else but those several million people. There's more.
In his intemperate dissent in the court's recent Guantanamo decision, Scalia said the defense of constitutional rights embodied in that ruling meant it "will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed." That consideration apparently does not apply to a law whose precise purpose was to reduce the number of murders in the District of Columbia.
The defense of constitutional rights to which Mr. Dionne refers is to non citizens outside America. I can guarantee you the framers did not intend to Constitution to apply outside the United States to foreigners. So in EJWorld, applying constitutional rights to foreigners, our actual enemies, in foreign land--good, recognizing that citizens back here at home have an important right--bad. It may have been the "precise purpose" of the gun ban in D.C. but the actual effect was just the opposite.
The ban went into effect in early 1977, but since it started there is only one year (1985) when D.C.'s murder rate fell below what it was in 1976. But the murder rate also rose dramatically relative to other cities. In the 29 years we have data after the ban, D.C.'s murder rate ranked first or second among the largest 50 cities for 15 years. In another four years, it ranked fourth.
For instance, D.C.'s murder rate fell from 3.5 to 3 times more than Maryland and Virginia's during the five years before the handgun ban went into effect in 1977, but rose to 3.8 times more in the five years after it.
However, as Rush Limbaugh often points out, those on the left don't care about actual results of their actions, they are only to be judged on their benevolent intent, no matter what Hell results. Here was a precise example of that. The gun ban never prevented a single death in DC and only caused the law abiding to be the defenseless victims of the law defying armed criminals, as gun bans always do.

James Horner's "SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES" finally in release...
Son-of-Thing
After far too long a time to wait, James Horner's magnificent score for Ray Bradbury's "Something Wicked This Way Comes" has finally been officially released. It's limited to 3000 editions, and can be found at the Screen Archives site, here --
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (3000 EDITION) -- SCREEN ARCHIVES ENTERTAINMENT
One of Horner's very best scores, IMHO, delightfully creepy in good measure, with almost achingly nostalgic underpinnings... I've used certain passages from it (recorded off the old LD's mono B track) for my home haunts, really helping to set an eerie and ominous mood (The creepy cuts, obviously; the nostalgic passages I enjoy listening to while carving pumpkins or just watching the turning leaves fall...).
The SAE site also offers a wealth of soundtrack gems from composers like Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Howard Shore, and many others whose work has really put the chill in the greatest horror films of all time. A really wonderful site to prowl.
And speaking of Ron Grainer, or speaking of him just now, his cool score from "The Omega Man" has been re-released ("2.0"), so if you like your macabre organ solos with an angsty-touch of '70's brass and percussion, you might want to check it out as well. (Grainer scored, among other things the title theme and much incidental music for "The Prisoner" series.)
Most Sanguine Cheers,
"By My Prickley, Long-Stemmed Nose,
Something Wicked This Way Grows...!"

Thanks, been looking for that song for my lightshow.
My pleasure, LMB4XM...
I also recommend Jerry Goldsmith's "The Illustrated Man", a score that I think shares a similar sense of "eerie heartland nostalgia"... It has a sultry, Summery feeling that also captures a "Bradbury-esque" flavor, as the heat comes on...
And, Bernard Herrmann's "Portrait of Hitch" can be found on Amazon, as part of a decent Herrmann collection. Autumn never quite sounds complete without it to me (and it brings Autumn close in those more distant months, imo). As to Winter, well, nothing quite like Herrmann's "Fahrenheit 451"...
Cadaverino
Thank you for posting all this, Son-of-Thing. I'm a great fan of Ray Bradbury and the novel Something Wicked This Way Comes. I saw the movie on first release, but had forgotten how good James Horner's score is. You've given many good suggestions to fill up my music shopping cart. Just mentioning the names Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, Howard Shore brings back so many hours of being spellbound, frightened, and delighted at the movies.
Ah, it's my great pleasure, Caddo. For years, the only way one could listen to Horner's "SWTWC" was, as I mentioned, on the LD's b-track, and only in mono. It's great to hear it as a stand-alone score in full stereo. The SAE site is really wonderful -- I've got a wishlist going there that always gives me something to look forward to... (and working late for...lol)

I have to agree..I think "Portrait of Hitch" is from "The Trouble with Harry"..One of my favorite Hitchcock films..if only for the very dark humour..but the absolutely beautiful shots of (I think) Vermont in the Autumn..
mr_synical
Anyone willing to share a copy of the SWTWC soundtrack? Unfortunately, its no longer available to purchase from that site. Its one of my favorite novels, which I'm currently re-reading & I'd really love to have the music.

Q: What is UUID in virtual box? When I create a Virtual Machine in command line using the following command:
VBoxManage createvm -name <VM's Name> -register

It returns:
Virtual machine <VM's Name> is created and registered.
UUID: zas8d62g-****-****-****-************
Settings file: '/home/user/VirtualBox VMs/<VM NAME>/<VM NAME>.vbox'

What does UUID mean? Is it used to identify and reference virtual machine?

A:
What does UUID mean? Is it used to identify and reference virtual
  machine?

Yes, you are right. A universal unique identifier (UUID) is a 128-bit number used to uniquely identify each virtual machines. It is stored in the SMBIOS system information descriptor. It can be accessed by standard SMBIOS scanning software and used for system management in the same way you use the UUID of a physical computer.
The UUID is generated when you power on or reset the virtual machine. As long as you do not move or copy the virtual machine to another location, the UUID remains constant.
Fore more read the documentation.
You can use:
VBoxManage list vms

to list all currently registered VMs with their settings, names and UUIDs.
Once you know the UUID you can also start a vm by:
VBoxManage startvm <UUID-of-vm>

which is essentially same as:
VBoxManage startvm "Name-of-vm"

Very impressive. I know this will be a popular topic, and it may also be of use when the time comes to work on a built-in "Process, List" command.
Thanks. It uses the standard EnumProcesses API to retrieve a list of processes, and some of the other mechanisms employed will likely limit its universality. But it seems to work fairly well otherwise.

I actually posted the code, at this time, in response to your request in the other thread. If you look closely, GetRemoteCommandLine is actually GetCPA_file_name in a general form. The enhancement is realized with access to comprehensive information permitted by enabling the debugging privilege, which also affects the effectiveness of GetModuleFileNameEx.
Hi, can someone please examine the O.P. code, and please show me how to modify this so I can use it in a GUI 1 and GUI 2 scenario (where one GUI is the code above and the other is something else.... for now a blank GUI will do). I want this to be GUI 2 and a blank GUI 1....... but it keeps breaking when I try assigning the unique GUI value in there. I am not sure what is going on. Thank you so kindly for a guiding light!
Basically, I would like to use this, but in a GUI 2 or GUI 3 scenerio I am trying to absorb all the finer points of coding here, and this one is sort-of difficult.
I want this to be GUI 2 and a blank GUI 1....... but it keeps breaking when I try assigning the unique GUI value in there.
I must be slipping today!
I tried adding 'Gui, 2:+Default' to the code I posted in my last message, and no go, unfortunately!
If set to 1 (the master, btw obsolete) it shouldn't be a problem. If set to 2 (without an existing master) it won't work, right? Well, to create a master Gui, to which consecutive Guis are belonging, seems/is mandatory. If there's no master you're out of business.


A central hub from which fluctuating demand can best be dealt with: that's what petroleum companies need. And Oiltanking's location in Amsterdam, in close proximity to Rotterdam, is a very well-connected hub indeed, according to their CEO.
This imbalance reflects a longstanding imbalance. While the USA is usually short of oil products due to large-scale use and lack of refineries, Europe produces more than it consumes. So there is a need to store these fuels centrally and mix them to meet local market specifications, which vary.
In addition, oil trading companies need storage and fast access and transport, so they can take full advantage of price fluctuations. "We offer a unique level of flexibility, speed and high-quality services," Hübner explains.
In addition to Oiltanking Amsterdam, the port area is home to BP's storage company, America's Nustar, the Anglo-Dutch Eurotank, and Vopak, a company previously focussed on Rotterdam. The Port of Amsterdam reports that hundreds of millions of Euros are being invested, often by foreign parties.


CHARLESTON, SC (WCSC) - The summer heat can create some dangerous conditions for high school football teams getting ready for the season.
This week marked the first day of practice for several Lowcountry teams. Athletic trainers are taking measures to keep student athletes safe as temperatures soar.
Today, the Military Magnet Academy (MMA) Football Team practiced indoors to beat the heat. The basketball court is not the typical football floor, but for today it was the next best thing.
Robbe Hedstrom is the head athletic trainer at MMA, he is a certified trainer with Roper St. Francis.
"So today, the temperature that I took on the field was around 103 degrees with roughly 30 percent humidity and that put us just above the threshold for practicing outside," Hedstrom said.
He says their considering moving practice to a later time when it'll be cooler outside.He follows the National Athletic Trainer Association Guidelines that tell you how hot is too hot. That's why they're inside today.
"It's a sliding scale. even at lower temperature if you have a high humidity that can dictate you to come inside or lessen practice time," he said.
Laura Richins is the Head Athletic Trainer at Porter Gaud.
"[That] is why we have practices so early and so late in the day to try to avoid that," Richins said.
The athletic trainers at Porter Gaud use the same device, a wet bulb, to determine the conditions.
No matter where practice takes place hydration and a good diet are essential.
"I like to tell kids six to eight glasses of water a day 15 to 20 ounces, roughly about two sports drinks as well," Hedstrom said.
"We have the ice tub so if anyone is getting overheated, or if there is any risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke we can get them right in that ice bath," Richins said.
Senior at MMA Brandon Brown knows the rewards of good habits.
"It's really a good thing to keep yourself hydrated even in the off season so that your body just jumps back in," Brown said.
"We try to tell the kids how to eat healthy how to drink healthy," Hedstrom said. "Not only during practice, but when they're away from school while they're at home."
Both athletic trainers measure their athlete's hydration each practice. They weigh the players before and after practice, if they're losing too much weight it's a sign that they're dehydrated. From there they're advised to drink more water or sit out of practice.
According to the U.S News and World Report, between 1980 and 2015 there were 44 heat stroke-related deaths during preseason high school football practices.
The latest one happened Thursday when a 12-year-old in Georgia died several weeks after suffering from a heat stroke in practice.

RCS MARKS NEW AGE OF CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT FOR OPERATORS
by John Wick, SVP and General Manager of Global Product, Syniverse
It's been a developing technology for more than a few years now, but Rich Communication Services (RCS) is finally coming to fruition and ready to make the impact that mobile operators and brands alike have been waiting for. There's been no shortage of hype around this technology – and with good reason – but the tipping point is at last approaching when traditional text messaging is expected to have to make room for the functionality that RCS promises to bring.
Once past this point, operators will be handed new keys to the kingdom to be able to work more closely with brands of all sizes and industries. What's more, operators will be positioned to become a more fundamental, revenue-generating partner at the centre of audience, employee and customer engagement.
So why are brands getting excited?
Put simply, RCS brings intuitive, engaging, and sticky brand experiences for driving long-term loyalty and becoming a central point of contact in a consumer's life. This technology will transform messaging by taking its best functionality and giving it a 21st century upgrade, with features like high-resolution imagery, advanced video and audio capabilities, location information, and analytic feedback, just to name a few.
Let's take a closer look at what opportunity this will mean for operators.
Brand and operator synergy
The industries set to benefit by RCS are wide-ranging. However, to begin to put this potential in perspective, let's look at the hospitality sector. Imagine you've booked a hotel room after searching online, received a text message from the hotel thanking you, and then received your reservation details. This itself isn't revolutionary – it's standard, one-way interaction.
The opportunity with RCS, however, brings this interaction to another level. RCS-based conversational messaging will allow your hotel to suggest on-site amenities, such as dining options; or to book you a table by simply clicking a button; or to offer you a 10% discount off your bill. This can all be delivered within an RCS message, with no need for you to jump to another platform, such as the hotel's app or website, and thereby enable one integrated, uninterrupted user experience.
Build a partner framework into this, and you're able to suggest local attractions, discounted events, and local special retail offers, just to name a few things.
Moreover, this opens a whole ecosystem through which both the brand and the operator can drive revenue. From a customer perspective, it makes the booking richer, more valuable and more integrated with the stay. It's more than just a text telling you your room number.
Additionally, from a functionality perspective, an interaction can be handled through a chatbot within a single messaging stream. There's no departure from the network. This conversationally driven, multi-message model, however, does require a new monetisation approach, which we'll get to shortly.
Making RCS a reality
It's clear that the opportunity, driven by the revolution in functionality will be a game-changer. But how will this become a reality?
The adoption of RCS will depend heavily on several factors that relate to robust interoperability: reach, coverage, security and pricing. Standardisation across the telecoms industry, in fact, will establish a foundation on which RCS can flourish, with interoperability being key to ensuring that access is not limited by network coverage. Networks will also need to work within a centralised model to avoid any drop in access or connectivity for users.
What's more, quality of service will also be important. Customers will need to love it from day one and see the potential in order to accept this as a channel for the long term.
Pricing models
Payment brings us back to the pricing model that will need to be established to handle the traffic without relying on legacy models for the consumer. Text messaging has become a product that most consumers think of as 'free'. However, RCS will deliver a far more conversation-based approach to messaging, with the potential for numerous messages throughout a thread. Therefore, rather than pricing by message, the results of these conversations could be potentially priced on a sliding scale via metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, or peak times (times at which messages would most likely be opened) for sending messages.
On this front, operators can continue to become central to brands' success. Simplified pricing models, can make it easier for brands to see good margins returned on their investment and measure success. Further, transparent models, such as billing by time, not per message, could fuel conversation and encourage discussion with those behind the brand (and its partners). The operator can give the brand the support and orientation expertise that its in-house team requires, and the models, functions, and brand services can follow.
RCS will soon unleash a dynamic phase of engagement between operators, brands and consumers through a text messaging channel with a 21st century makeover. However, there is still work to do to develop the technology foundation and partnership ecosystem for enabling this. It's up to operators to demonstrate the potential, lead the creation of the technology, and bring innovators on board accordingly. Once this is in motion, we can expect to see a new wave of brands jumping in with RCS. And with a solid revenue-sharing model in place, there will be mutual interest and powerful revenue incentive in making the most of this technology.

Twentieth deceased in the seventies owned his house
by admin	| Posted on February 13, 2021
A 70-year-old man filed a lawsuit with a law firm, claiming that his wife deceived him and made him sign papers relinquishing his house in her name, under the pretext that she wanted to secure her life, due to her fear of his children who object to his marriage to her, as there is a big age difference between them. And after five months had passed, he was surprised that she had filed a marriage annulment case against him, and showed before the Personal Status Court that she hates him, and is ready to return the dowry.
The legal advisor, Saleh Al-Ghamdi, confirmed regarding the husband's incident with his wife, that this is a legal waiver, as it was claimed that he wrote the house in her name willingly, and this is considered legal.
He added: "3 procedures have been adopted in all courts and notaries, which summarize the documentation of the assignment of the inheritance without linking that to emptying the relinquished property, because of the resolution of the dispute, given that it is not possible to encompass all the notables of the estate, and regarding the jurisdiction of the first notary public to document the assignment of the inheritance shares The rumor in real estate, and that the notary issues a deed to that, and marginalizes what he made on the property deed, then sends it to its source to marginalize his record. "
The Three Actions
It is noteworthy that the Minister of Justice has directed the adoption of the three procedures, the first stipulating that the second notary – and whoever does its work – certify the assignment of the inheritance shares and the mutual division of the legacy that is fixed and transferred, provided that the notables are mentioned from the inheritance – according to the parties' acknowledgment – while not refraining from Documenting the assignment of all known and unknown legacies.
With regard to the second of the three procedures, provided that the instrument is handed over to the assignee, and it is based on the transfer of the assigned share and emptying it according to it at the competent notary public. As for the third procedures, the Minister of Justice directed the action of the previously issued general assignment instruments in the estate, based on what has been settled. Guidance in it.
The Minister of Justice stressed that the three procedures should not prejudice the right of the stakeholder, from instituting his case before the competent court in the event of fraud or fraud.

Northampton Arts Council Announces COVID-19 Artist Relief Grant for Artists and Cultural Producers
Design by James Hindle
The Northampton Arts Council announced a COVID-19 Artist Relief Grant. All artists and cultural producers who have been financially impacted by COVID-19 and contribute to the cultural vibrancy of Northampton, Florence, and Leeds are eligible to apply here (deadline has passed.) The application is due May 15, 2020. The Northampton Arts Council usually administers the ArtsEZ grant round in the spring to support local arts and cultural projects that take place in Northampton, Florence, and Leeds. Since all public gatherings are on hold, and in light of the severe economic impact of COVID-19, the Board has voted to allocate $10,000 to fund artist relief.
This decision was made in response to an artist input survey that we administered to local artists, in which seventy-four artists shared their concerns about loss of income due to cancelled exhibitions, concerts, performances, and more. We are grateful to the many artists who are using this time to create and support our local community online. The Board would like to award as much money in artist relief as possible; to that end, we invite members of the community to donate to our artist relief fund via GoFundMe.
"Artists and cultural producers play a vital role in making Northampton a great place to live and work. We want to ensure that members of our artistic community have the support they need to make it through this crisis and create beauty on the other side of it," said Brian Foote, Executive Director of the Northampton Arts Council. "I'm grateful to the Northampton Arts Council Board for making the decision to allocate this fund towards artist relief and to the community for an outpouring of support for local artists at this time."
In addition to the new artist relief grant, The Northampton Arts Council is pleased to inform all grant recipients who were awarded funds during our ArtsEZ 2019 and our Local Cultural Council FY20 grant cycles that they have been automatically granted a 6 month extension. Grant recipients can complete the public component of their project at a later date or shift to an online format open to the public. All previously awarded grants have also been automatically and immediately converted into artist relief funds for any artists who need to use their grant to offset any living expenses incurred during this difficult time.
The Northampton Arts Council remains committed to supporting arts and culture in the City of Northampton. Our monthly board meetings will continue via Zoom, under the leadership of executive director, Brian Foote. All are also invited to join the Northampton Arts Council Facebook Group, which aims to create an online community for artists and cultural producers or check out our COVID-19 Resource page. The Board will continue to seek new ways to bring our community together, even remotely, through the arts.

GARN is an American alternative energy company and manufacturer of smokeless wood-burning furnaces with integrated hydronic thermal storage.

History
GARN pioneered wood gasification in conjunction with thermal storage in 1984, after GARN founder Martin Lunde developed the technology under a contract with the U.S. Department of Energy in the late 1970s, along with researchers Richard Snyder and James Buesing. Lunde was awarded patents in wood-fired hydronic storage in the early 1980s.

In April 2015, the GARN WHS-2000 was the first ever hydronic wood heater to pass the EPA's Phase II "white tag" certification using cord wood as fuel.

When I graduated college, I was on top of the world. 8 months later, I got fired.
Amanda Pell
When my boss fired me, I said "Yup, that makes sense," and gathered up my things to go.
He didn't mince words and neither did I — we wished each other well and that was that. I had been eating tortilla chips at my desk before he called me into his office, and the thing I remember most was my face flushing at how loud the bag crinkled as my coworkers watched me pack my things.
My firing didn't come as a surprise to anyone. My team and I had struggled for months, and it was obviously due to my inexperience and subsequent unhappiness working in an environment fraught with stress. In fact, I'd already interviewed for a few different positions and was planning to leave the company soon.

He found out his son had cancer. His coworkers answered with unbelievable kindness.
Eric Pfeiffer
Andreas Graff, a single dad based in Hesse, Germany, faced one of the most difficult decisions of his life when his now-4-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia last year.
Graff's paid time off wasn't nearly enough to accommodate his son's needs, and he feared losing his job — which would put his small family in an even tougher position.
Fortunately, his company's head of human resources worked with senior management and the workers' union to create a voluntary donation pool of other employees' overtime pay.

15 real ways to thank black women for carrying the country on their backs.
After an intense, widely watched campaign, Democrat Doug Jones won Alabama's open seat in the U.S. Senate.
It's the first time a Democrat has held the spot in more than 20 years, and the victory cost Republicans a desperately needed seat just as the fight to pass major items on the GOP's agenda has become particularly heated.
Doug Jones' win was huge for Alabama — and the nation too — but as the exit poll data has emerged, it's very clear who pushed him over the line: black people, particularly black women. Nearly 97% of black women in Alabama voted for Jones. 97%!

Sisters hold fundraisers to thank Charity for mum's 'excellent and compassionate care'
Two sisters have held separate fundraisers to thank The Royal Star & Garter Homes for caring for their mother.
Erica Watkins and Alison Ukleja wanted to show their support and appreciation to the Charity, which has looked after their mother Julie for more than three years at its Surbiton Home.
Erica and her husband Tim walked 86km in Italy, raising over £2,500 for the Charity. Alison held a Prosecco lunch and plant sale, raising an estimated £640 in her home town of Lullington, Somerset, on Saturday 6 July.
Erica and Tim, from Esher, walked from Pisa to Siena along the Via Francigena in Tuscany, at the end of June. Erica said: "This was a way of thanking The Royal Star & Garter Homes for the excellent and compassionate care that they give to our mother."
Alison's Prosecco lunch also saw guests make floral headwear, and included a card sale featuring her own art work. All plants sold were also grown from cuttings or seeds from Alison's own garden. She said: "We come to the Home regularly and see all the fantastic work they do. My mum has benefited hugely from being there, and we felt as a family we should do more to support the Charity."
The Royal Star & Garter Homes cares for ex-Servicemen and women and their partners living with disability or dementia, and also has Homes in High Wycombe and Solihull.
Senior Community Fundraiser Lauren Baker thanked the pair, saying: "It's great that Erica and Alison were able to use talents and things they enjoy doing to raise money for us, prompted by the care their mum receives. It will help us continue providing our award-winning care."

Philippine Competition Commission partners with Fulbright Philippines to boost business competitiveness and innovation
Quezon City, Philippines — On December 20, Philippine-American Educational Foundation Honorary Board Chairperson and U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Sung Y. Kim and Philippine Competition Commission (PCC) Chairperson Arsenio M. Balisacan signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a new staff development program on competition law and policy. This new partnership between PCC and the Philippine-American Educational Foundation (PAEF, also known as the Fulbright Commission in the Philippines) will build the skills, knowledge, and capabilities of Filipinos working at PCC, Office of the Solicitor General, Department of Justice, and National Economic and Development Authority.
At the signing, Ambassador Kim expressed his strong support for the new partnership, "One of the most important endeavors for the Embassy … is investing in the development of the Philippines' human capital. This new partnership between PCC and Fulbright does exactly that: builds Filipino capacity in competition law and policy to create a more competitive and open market."
The new five-year, P287 million ($5.67 million) staff development program, made possible through Asian Development Bank financing in support of PCC's "Capacity Building to Foster Competition" Project, will send Filipino staff to U.S. higher education institutions for degree and non-degree studies, as well as for research and training. The program will also provide opportunities for professional consultations, lecturing, and research in PCC-accredited universities and institutions in the Philippines.
The participation of PAEF in the educational exchange to U.S. higher education institutions proves essential in this key partnership, according to Chairperson Balisacan. "The Philippine Competition Act was patterned after U.S. competition legislation and PAEF will be a strategic partner to help us instill the competencies needed to maximize the law," he said.
The program aligns with PAEF's broad mission to promote greater international education and exchange between the Philippines and United States, and PCC's goal of improving the Philippine government's capacity for competition policy implementation to foster greater economic growth.
Also present were PCC Commissioners and other officials, PAEF Board Chairperson and U.S. Embassy Public Affairs Counselor Mr. Philip Roskamp, and PAEF Executive Director Julio S. Amador III.

Q: Preprocessor Timestamp Is it possible to generate an embedded Unix timestamp via a preprocessor macro?
For instance: #define VERSION_EXPIRE __TIMESTAMP__
The reason for this is, that i have beta versions and i want to generate an expire timestamp on compile time (in a special build configuration).

A: I've solved it as follows:
#define VERSION_TIMESTAMP __DATE__" "__TIME__"\x0"

In some other class
+ (NSDate *)versionExpiresInDays:(NSUInteger)days {
    NSString *dateString = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:VERSION_TIMESTAMP];
    NSLocale *enLocale = [[[NSLocale alloc] initWithLocaleIdentifier:@"en_US"] autorelease];
    NSDate *compiledOn = [NSDate dateWithNaturalLanguageString:dateString locale:enLocale];

    return [compiledOn dateByAddingTimeInterval:days*24*60*60];
}

A: If you'd use versioning software like svn or git you may have automatic replacement of strings like $Id: $ or $Date: $ by the id or date of the particular version of the file (svn) or of the "HEAD" release (git).
Edit: For git you can extract the sources
git archive --format=zip -9 -o project.zip HEAD file1 file2...

To replace certain strings during that process you have to tell git in .gitattributes that you want to have things substituted:
file*   export-subst

For the syntax of what and how terms between "$...$", please refer to the formats in the man page of git-log. Just as examples I have in my code
#define P99_VERSION_DATE "$Format:%cd$"
#define P99_VERSION_ID "$Format:%H$"

Which in the distribution version of the file is
#define P99_VERSION_DATE "Thu Oct 7 23:38:43 2010 +0200"
#define P99_VERSION_ID "6f9740a6808ff50f42d24bb7b5234a904f84e6fe"

A: Add a custom build step before preprocessing that uses sed to replace __TIMESTAMP__ with date.  The easiest way to do this is to tell Xcode to use a makefile.

Kayla Harrison won gold in judo at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.
Two-time Olympic gold medalist Kayla Harrison, a Middletown native who became the first American to win Olympic gold in judo in 2012 - and then defended it at the 2016 Summer Olympics, won her professional mixed-martial arts debut Thursday night against Brittney Elkin in a lightweight bout in Chicago.
Harrison earned a first-round submission win against her opponent. The fight was part of a Professional Fighters League card broadcast on NBC Sports Network.
The 27-year-old, who showed some surprisingly solid striking before forcing the tap at the 3:18 mark of the opening round, was in good spirits following the fight, though she was fairly critical of her performance. Still, there's no doubt she's enjoying this MMA stuff.
"That's probably the most alive I've felt since 2016," Harrison, who won gold at the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics, told MMAjunkie after the fight. "That's the most Kayla I've felt in a long, long time. So it was absolutely worth it.
At 16, Harrison revealed that she had been sexually abused by her coach for years.
"What almost certainly awaits her is a lucrative career in mixed-martial arts following in the footsteps of her former sparring partner Ronda Rousey, who didn't achieve a fraction of Harrison's success in judo but has become an international icon," wrote USA TODAY Sports' Dan Wolken in 2016.

The need for specialty NDT solutions continues to grow as more and more manufacturers recognize the value of insuring the quality of each and every piece that they produce.
New Gate has been involved in Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) since the beginning. NGT 's first products were entirely focused on providing solutions for in-situ inspection of product at production rates. Now NGT has coupled this capability with robotics and sophisticated custom solutions to provide a complete in line solution.
Increasing production rates and improving the inspection process to include the inspection of every part are some of the top priorities when designing a custom inspection solution. New Gate has literally reduced inspection times from many minutes to just seconds with its in-line solutions and these solutions allowi our customers the ability to inspect every piece that they manufacture.
In the world of Carbon-Composites it is imperative that each and every part be inspected for part integrity. With a high degree of material variability possible, standard inspection practices don't work. The ability to rapidly and effectively test every part ensures that material variability is accounted for and creates continuity in the material quality assurance process.
NGT's specialty NDT solutions incorporate Ultrasonics, Laser, and Vision coupled with custom automation and robotics to provide the best combination of inspection solutions for a particular application.

Discussion in 'Technical & Support' started by Mario Moretti, Feb 7, 2019.
With rf2 i dont have a stereo Image but one Image for each eyes. I use pitool version .95. i have tried to unchek reprojecton compatibility in pitool with no result. Any ideas?
Just hold on a minute..... you have the 5K?? Do you have a thread somewhere?
Yes, l have got It 5 days ago.
Don't hold out on us. How is it? Did you have anything before and how does it compare?
I own all the HMDs that are there (I'm a fan of VR) samsung odyssey plus, rift cv1, Vive pro, and Pimax 5k. i use them only for driving simulations (Ac, Rfactor2, Rrre, Iracing).
samsung Odyssey + Excell in quality price ratio, little sde but very blurred image in the distance, good color and brightness. VivePro sde little visible but present, clarity of Image excellent in the distance, very high price but the comfort and build quality are really good. Pimax sde little visible but present but less than the pro, image quality slightly better than the pro , but color rendering, brightness and contrast slightly lower, FOV very good already set to normal (I think it's about 160 degrees) ; setting it on small , about 140 degrees , is still a step ahead of all other HMDs, it is very important for immersion in the virtual world, the binocular effect is over. The constructive quality of Pimax is certainly less than the Pro but acceptable.
The comfort requires to change the original system with the deluxe head strap of the Vive, which I did. Ultimately, the ideal HMD would be fov and sharpness of the Pimax, sde of the samsung, colors, contrast and brightness of the Vive pro. however, the visual quality is very dependent on the Sim used: Ac, which has a very light graphics engine allows you settings of SS and graphics in game very high (Pitool 1,75, SteamVr 150%, all in max in the game, except no PP and reflections on static) is a show with Pimax, clear and fluid like oil, at monitor level , stable 90 FPS without the slightest uncertainty. FANTASTIC, this is the new generation that we are waiting for so much. With Rfactor instead, the heaviest graphics engine does not allow the use of high SS to have 90 FPS stable, so the image quality is at vive prol evel but obviously with a much larger FOV.
Last consideration: using the large FOV (200 degrees) slightly worsens the quality of the image. ultimately 5k is a decisive leap forward compared to rift, samsung and original Vive, a good improvement over the pro especially for the FOV and the minor sde.
EsxPaul, vegaguy5555, DrivingFast and 9 others like this.
Always wondered how the 200FOV would feel. I also Always wondered if there is any black when looking around with 200FOV Pimax? With 110FOV VR if you look with your Eyes far left/right/up/down you can see black right? But with 200FOV there is image all around? Like the whole image your eyes can see when looking around is covered by 200FOV Pimax? A bit sad that the quality goes down with 200FOV though. But hey, the technology is pushing forward.
No black in 200 FOV e very small black in Normal Fov (160°). In my opinion normal Fov is Ok.
vegaguy5555, Alex72, RaceNut and 1 other person like this.
Thank you for sharing your findings. It is valuable to us because it is exactly the type of comparison that we sim-racer's can use to plan our future upgrades for VR and, the HMD's are being used in the titles and ways that we tend to play.
* do you use vive bases, if so, how many and in which mode?
* is there any kind of ASW/reprojection/smoothing with Pimax so that half framerate (45FPS) play is comfortable? If so, have you tried it in rF2? I am quite happy with smoothness of CV1 at 45FPS + ASW, and I wonder if there's something similar with Pimax, as 90FPS won't be possible with rF2 at good settings.
PS: did you have any tracking issues with rF2?
Hi i have two vive basis and use them in the same manner than with vive pro, but for driving simulation only one basis is sufficient.
In the latest beta version of Pimax software (Pitool) motion smoothing has been implemented, but i dont have this version installed.
In my opinion the only smoothing that work very well is ASW from Oculus. When i used my "old" Rift CV1 i cant tell difference from 90 to 45 Fps with ASW activated. Steam smoothing dont work as well as ASW , then , after got the vive pro i built a PC that let me got 90 Fps without any smoothing active (i7 8700 5 ghz, 32 gb ram ddr4 3 ghz, Rtx 2080 ti). With my system 90 Fps are possible in Rf2 with Pimax and with Vive pro, with good graphics. From comment read in Pimax forum their implementation of motion smoothing is similar to Steam Vr.
PS: if anyone is interested i will sell my used : Rift Cv1, Samsung Odyssey plus, Vive Pro.
juanchioooo, RaceNut and The Iron Wolf like this.
Thank you. How would you compare fit/comfort of Pimax vs CV1? Can you adjust Pimax to sit really tight on your face? Also, any tracking issues?
Do you use bases in A+B mode?
I agree with you on ASW being good and 45FPS being enough. However, I have identical system to yours and with large grids at settings I like FPS drops to 45FPS+ASW a lot in rF2, so I really hope some smoothing/reprojection/whatever_it_is_to_allow_run_at_half_fps is coming to Pimax (I am on the pre order). I also had Odyssey for 2 weeks and their "motion reprojection" was no worse than ASW in rF2/R3E.
Yes i use them in A+B mode.
With my system in Rf2 90 FPS are with 12 AI not more.. and AA set to 5 .

"Every other is truly other, but no other is wholly other". This is the claim that this book defends. Taking up the question of otherness that so fascinates contemporary continental philosophy, this book asks what it means for something or someone to be other than the self. Emmanuel Levinas and those influenced by him point out that the philosophical tradition of the West has generally favored the self at the expense of the other. In response, postmodern thought insists on the absolute otherness of the other, epitomized by the deconstructive claim "every other is wholly other". But absolute otherness generates problems and aporias of its own. This has led some thinkers to reevaluate the notion of relative otherness in light of the postmodern critique, arguing for a chiastic account that does justice to both the alterity and the similitude of the other. These latter two positions—absolute otherness and a rehabilitated account of relative otherness—are the main contenders in the contemporary debate. This book traces the transmission and development of these two conceptions of otherness by examining the philosophies of Emmanuel Levinas and Gabriel Marcel. Levinas's version of otherness can be seen in the work of Jacques Derrida and John D. Caputo, while Marcel's understanding of otherness influences the work of Paul Ricoeur and Richard Kearney. Ultimately, this book makes a case for a hermeneutic account of otherness. Otherness itself is not absolute, but is a chiasm of alterity and similitude.Less

John D. Caputo reminds us that the impossible immobilizes us on the cognitive level, but then we shift to the conative, to the sphere of praxis and the pragmatic order. This is where Saint Thomas Aquinas developed his theology of grace even to the point of a theology of "merit", wherein our grace-enabled praxis creates our eternal destiny. As Caputo might put it, we experience the impossible by doing it. For Aquinas, merit is not a psychological category of motivation — it is grace realism in the pragmatic order. Aquinas developed his theology of merit within his theology of grace, elaborated in the philosophical categories of Aristotle. He spoke of "human nature", which is the essence of the human being as source of human activity unto a human end. As part of the modern vocabulary, the term "experience" fell under the suspicion of the Vatican, which delayed the development of any modern Catholic theology. Today, postmodern philosophy and theology question subjectivity together with the objectivity of metaphysical language as appropriate loci for talk about God.Less

This chapter examines the move made by philosophers Jacques Derrida and John D. Caputo to reconfigure prayer as sans, in which prayer would be to pray without knowing where to direct the prayers. It questions whether such prayer is possible and whether it reinscribes the exclusivist logic that it seeks to avoid. This chapter argues that such a prayer appears to be presented as superior to that of traditions with a determinate messianism, and with this Derrida and Caputo failed to escape religious violence.Less

This chapter is a discourse between Edith Wyschogrod and John D. Caputo on postmodernism and the desire for God. In the postmodern culture of images, so-called virtual reality raises the problem to a new level. Nothing is more common in the postmodern world than the replication of the violence of interactive video games and Internet images. In a world of semblances, people die by violence, but their deaths are and are not understood as being real. Violence is envisaged as simultaneously actualizing and de-realizing death. If all is semblance, a game, death's finality is fictive, undecidable. What is more, if transcendence and immanence are inextricable, the atheist could see le désir de Dieu not only as our desire for God but also as God's desire. So the amor dei, le désir de Dieu, in this culture of images, is to be the imago dei, to let the images of God fly up like sparks, and to affirm a certain holy undecidability between the "image" and "God".Less
