AMPLIFIERS & DSP
SPEAKERS
It takes some companies a lifetime to achieve the recognition that AVI Sound International enjoys.
Still a relatively young company, after only a few years in the market place AVI is known as the manufacturer of the world's finest audio loudspeakers.
AVI is committed to excellence, taking car audio in directions that seemed impossible until very considerably since its introduction, usually in response to certain demands from audiophiles. New products have been designed and developed using a blend of high technology and applied listening.
Before the first AVI loudspeaker was made commercially available, our research team built and tested over a hundred prototypes, re-testing and improving each generation. The resulting speakers were so technically advanced that now, four years later, other companies are just beginning to apply AVI innovations. While they have been copying the old designs, we've been designing the next generation. New cast iron chassis with patented heat-exchangers are standard on all our new sub-woofers. Our MX Series mid-devices were the first dedicated mid-range speakers in the car audio field, and now, AVI has introduced the world's first neodymium magnet mid-device, as well as a remarkable dual magnet, dual coil sub-woofer that works superbly in a tiny enclosure. Truly innovative loudspeakers, all hand-built for the discerning listener by AVI.

Q: OpenGL ES Light Question I am new to OpenGL ES and are developing in Objective-C for iPhone.
What I am trying to understand is how light is positioned in my frustum. This is how I do it:
I create a square and put it as "floor" in my frustum. I am putting the light, right above, in the middle of the floor and point the direction of the light right down. Now, I expect the light circle on the floor to be in the middle. But it's not, it'r more to the back (futher away). How come?
near = 8.0
far = 28
light position = {0.0, 0.0, -10.0}
light direction = {0.0, -1.0, 0.0}

Floor coordinates = {-0.3153, -0.473, -20.0},
{-0.3153, -0.473, 0.0},
{0.3153, -0.473, -20.0},
{0.3153, -0.473, 0.0},

Shouldn't this together make the circle of light to be in the middle of the floor and not positioned a bit backwards?
Here's my significant code:
Setting up the view:
 -(void)setupView:(TDRoomView*)view
    {

    const GLfloat zNear = 8, zFar = 28, fieldOfView = 5;

 GLfloat size;
 glEnable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
 glMatrixMode(GL_PROJECTION);
 size = zNear * tanf(DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(fieldOfView) / 2.0);
 NSLog(@"tanf(DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(fieldOfView)/2.0); %f ", tanf(DEGREES_TO_RADIANS(fieldOfView)/2.0));

 CGRect rect = view.bounds;
 glFrustumf(-size, size, -size / (rect.size.width / rect.size.height), size /
      (rect.size.width / rect.size.height), zNear, zFar);
 glViewport(-size, size, rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
 glMatrixMode(GL_MODELVIEW);
    glShadeModel(GL_SMOOTH);
 glEnable(GL_COLOR_MATERIAL);
    glEnable(GL_LIGHTING);

    glEnable(GL_LIGHT0);

 static const Color3D light0Ambient[] = {{1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0}};
 glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_AMBIENT, (const GLfloat *)light0Ambient);

    static const Color3D light0Diffuse[] = {{0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0}};
 glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_DIFFUSE, (const GLfloat *)light0Diffuse);

    static const Color3D light0Specular[] = {{0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 1.0}};
    glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPECULAR, (const GLfloat *)light0Specular);

    static const Vertex3D light0Position[] = {{0.0, 0.473, -10.0}};
 glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_POSITION, (const GLfloat *)light0Position);

 static const Vertex3D lightVector= {0.0, -1.0, 0.0};

    glLightfv(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPOT_DIRECTION, (GLfloat *)&lightVector);

    glLightf(GL_LIGHT0, GL_SPOT_CUTOFF, 85);

 glLoadIdentity();
 glClearColor(0.0f, 0.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);

    }

And drawing:
     -(void)drawView:(TDRoomView*)view
    {

        static const Vertex3D vertices[]= {
  {-0.3153, -0.473, -20.0},

  {-0.1, -0.25, -3.0},
  {0.0, 0.0, -10.0},
  {0.1, -0.25, -3.0}
 };

 static const Color3D colors[] = {
  {0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1.0},
  {0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1.0},

  {0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0},
  {0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0}
       };

 static const GLubyte roomFaces[] = {
  0, 1, 2,
  1, 2, 3};

        static const Vector3D normals[] = {
  {0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000},
  {0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000},

  {0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000}
 };

    glLoadIdentity();

    glClearColor(0.7, 0.7, 0.7, 1.0);
    glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT);
    glEnableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);

        glDisableClientState(GL_NORMAL_ARRAY);
 glDisableClientState(GL_VERTEX_ARRAY);
 glDisableClientState(GL_COLOR_ARRAY); }

Also, I recon changing the
static const Vertex3D light0Position[] = {{0.0, 0.473, -10.0}};

to
static const Vertex3D light0Position[] = {{0.0, 0.473, -8.0}};

the bord turns dark, no light shines on it. Why, I only moved the light two steps closer...? The same things happen if I move it two steps further away like this:
static const Vertex3D light0Position[] = {{0.0, 0.473, -12.0}};

Any help in order to "shed som light" on my problem is greatly appreciated! (Couldn't help it... ;)  )
Thanks in advance!

A: I suggest you do a larger grid with more vertices, preferably n by n squares. Try not to have too long thin triangles. This will make it easier to see where the light seem to be as the light is calculated for each vertex and not per pixel for the surface.
http://www.opengl.org/resources/features/KilgardTechniques/oglpitfall/

2. Poor Tessellation Hurts Lighting
OpenGL's lighting calculations are done per-vertex. This means that the shading calculations due to light sources interacting with the surface material of a 3D object are only calculated at the object's vertices. Typically, OpenGL just interpolates or smooth shades between vertex colors. OpenGL's per-vertex lighting works pretty well except when a lighting effect such as a specular highlight or a spotlight is lost or blurred because the effect is not sufficiently sampled by an object's vertices. Such under-sampling of lighting effects occurs when objects are coarsely modeled to use a minimal number of vertices.
:
Novice OpenGL programmers are often tempted to enable OpenGL's spotlight functionality and shine a spotlight on a wall modeled as a single huge polygon. Unfortunately, no sharp spotlight pattern will appear as the novice intended; you probably will not see any spotlight affect at all. The problem is that the spotlight's cutoff means that the extreme corners of the wall where the vertices are specified get no contribution from the spotlight and since those are the only vertices the wall has, there will be no spotlight pattern on the wall.

A: GL_POSITION is specified in homogeneous coordinates, which means that it requires four values, not three. You need to specify w = 1.0 for your light source, but your w component is instead coming from whatever happens to be next to light0Position in memory.
(Part of the reason that GL_POSITION is in homogeneous coordinates is to allow you to define directional lights by setting a position with w = 0.0.)

The 1977–78 Bundesliga was the 15th season of the Bundesliga, West Germany's premier football league. It began on 6 August 1977 and ended on 29 April 1978. Borussia Mönchengladbach were the defending champions.

Competition modus
Every team played two games against each other team, one at home and one away. Teams received two points for a win and one point for a draw. If two or more teams were tied on points, places were determined by goal difference and, if still tied, by goals scored. The team with the most points were crowned champions while the three teams with the fewest points were relegated to their respective 2. Bundesliga divisions.

Team changes to 1976–77
Karlsruher SC, Tennis Borussia Berlin and Rot-Weiss Essen were relegated to the 2. Bundesliga after finishing in the last three places. They were replaced by FC St. Pauli, winners of the 2. Bundesliga Northern Division, VfB Stuttgart, winners of the Southern Division and TSV 1860 Munich, who won a promotion play-off series against Arminia Bielefeld.

Season overview
The 1977–78 season, which ended earlier than usual due to the upcoming World Cup in Argentina, ended with 1. FC Köln winning the title, but the decision had been closer than anybody would have imagined. The team from Cologne was level on points with Borussia Mönchengladbach before the final round of matches of the season, but had a ten-goal lead in goal difference over their rivals. Nevertheless, Mönchengladbach managed to close the gap with a 12–0 victory in their last match against Borussia Dortmund. However, the team around Jupp Heynckes and Berti Vogts missed out on the title by three goals because Köln won 5–0 against FC St. Pauli at the same time.

Top Minnesota Lawmaker Says He'll File Marijuana Legalization Bill Within Two Weeks
A top Minnesota lawmaker said on Tuesday that he will be introducing a bill to legalize marijuana in the state within two weeks.
House Majority Leader Ryan Winkler (DFL), who said earlier this month that his legislation would create the best cannabis system "in the country to date," discussed the reform move during a rally at the Capitol that was organized by Minnesotans for Responsible Marijuana Regulation (MRMR).
Minnesotans have been clear: our cannabis laws are doing more harm than good. We will introduce carefully-considered legislation in the very near future – if any state can do this right, Minnesota can.
Thanks to @mnisready for organizing today's rally! #mnleg pic.twitter.com/kbaXMtkfxh
— Ryan Winkler (@_RyanWinkler) February 18, 2020
State Attorney General Keith Ellison (DFL) also attended the event and said that opponents of legalization "are wrong" and that there's "no outcry to imprison people for marijuana possession."
NEW: House Majority Leader @_RyanWinkler says he'll roll out his marijuana legalization bill within two weeks, says Minnesota is "moving inevitably toward legalization."
Senate Republicans say they will block the bill in their chamber.
— Theo Keith (@TheoKeith) February 18, 2020
"Minnesotans have been clear: our cannabis laws are doing more harm than good," Winkler said. "We will introduce carefully-considered legislation in the very near future—if any state can do this right, Minnesota can."
Winkler and Sen. Jeff Hayden (DFL) conducted a statewide tour to get public input on the issue in recent weeks, and they said the consensus was that prohibition has done more harm than good. They've also discussed the matter within their party and with administration officials.
Passing a legalization bill will be no small task, Winkler previously said, acknowledging that leaders of the Republican-controlled Senate stand opposed to the prospect.
A Senate committee killed a legalization bill last year, and the panel also rejected a more modest proposal to create a task force responsible for studying cannabis reform.
Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka (R) previously said that legalization is "not good for Minnesota"
There will likely be logistical challenges in the House as well. While the Democratic–Farmer–Labor party controls the House, there are as many as 23 committees that may have jurisdiction over parts of the legislation.
But none of that is deterring the lawmakers and advocates from pursuing the policy change. Benjamin Feist, a member of the MRMR steering committee and the chief program strategy officer at the state's ACLU chapter, said at the rally that the timing is right.
"Minnesota is indeed ready. It's time for a thoughtful, responsible legalization of adult-use marijuana," he said. "We know that the history of criminalization has had a staggeringly disproportionate impact on black Minnesotans and other communities of color, and it comes with a tremendous human and financial cost."
Residents in the state also voiced majority support for legalization in separate surveys, which involved nearly 20,000 participants collectively, that were conducted at the State Fair by both the Senate and House last year.
While Winkler's bill is yet to be released, he outlined several policy priorities for legalization during his press conference earlier this month. He said the legislation would make taxes and regulations minimal to stamp out the illicit market, the industry would be small business-focused, home cultivation would be allowed and the reform measure will contain "the best equity proposal related to economic development that any state has brought forward."
Gov. Tim Walz (D) said last year that he wants the state to start getting prepared for a legal cannabis market, and he directed various state agencies to begin laying the foundation for a regulated system in anticipation of reform.
The legislative session in Minnesota began on February 11.

Gervaise is een Franse dramafilm uit 1956 onder regie van René Clément. Het scenario is gebaseerd op de roman L'Assommoir (1877) van de Franse auteur Émile Zola.

In de film toont regisseur Clement zijn pessimistische kijk op de individuele vrijheid, in een donkere, realistische film zonder medeleven voor de getoonde personages. De film werd geloofd voor de sterke vertolkingen.

Samenvatting

Parijs, ten tijde van het Tweede Franse Keizerrijk. De wasvrouw Gervaise staat er alleen voor sinds haar minnaar Lantier haar en hun twee kinderen in de steek heeft gelaten. Toch begint ze weer in de liefde te geloven wanneer ze de hardwerkende dakwerker Coupeau ontmoet. Gervaise en Coupeau trouwen en krijgen een dochter, Nana. Hun geluk is echter van korte duur want door een valpartij kan Coupeau niet meer werken. Als gevolg van zijn gedwongen inactiviteit begint hij te drinken. Gervaise laat de moed niet zakken en opent een wasserij. Ze kan echter de ontaarding van haar man niet tegenhouden. Tot overmaat van ramp doemt Lantier weer in haar leven op. Gek van woede vernielt de jaloerse en dronken Coupeau de wasserij.

The project, called Newborn Library, was completed in 2013 as part of Rural Studio, an Auburn University student design-build program with a focus on community design. The adaptive reuse and expansion project preserves much of the historic architectural elements while using modern construction technologies, such as CNC techniques, to create a contemporary interior.
Located in the historic downtown of Newbern, a town with fewer than 200 people, the Old Bank Building was donated to the community by a local family who wanted the building turned into a library. Rural Studio, which follows a philosophy of providing good design to both rich and poor, was a fitting choice for the adaptive reuse project. The vision was to transform the bank into a social center that provided "after-school programming, computer access, and the first public Internet point in the community."

To this end, the architecture students gutted the interior and expanded the footprint of the building while leaving the bank's white brick exterior and glazed front intact to preserve its historical context. Timber lines the interior, from the CNC-milled birch plywood shelves to the patterned ceiling panels also made of birch. The old pine floor was preserved and elements of the past punctuate the space like the bank vault door and original bricks repurposed as paving and low walls. A 700-square-foot boxy cypress-clad extension was added to the back of the building, while a small outdoor space to the north provides an outdoor reading space.

Benjie Oliveros | When the interpretation of the law becomes an injustice: the HLI case
Benjie Oliveros July 8, 2011 1 Comment HLI
By BENJIE OLIVEROS
In analyzing the democratic revolutions of the late 18th century, a political economist once said that the rallying call of liberty, equality, and fraternity became liberty from the constraints of the monarchy and the feudal set-up – freedom for the capitalists to expand their capital, and for peasants from feudal bondage – and equality before the law.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing wrong with equality before the law, or the equal application of the law. But this presupposes that the law promotes equality and that people are equal to begin with. If the law protects the rich and powerful and people are not equal politically, economically and socially then this principle of equality before the law would promote inequality.
The recent decision of the Supreme Court regarding the agrarian dispute at Hacienda Luisita is a perfect example of the truth of this dictum. One could clearly see this by going through the 90 pages of the decision (there are 92 pages if the signatures of the justices and the certification of the Chief Justice is included). What is wrong with the Supreme Court decision?
First, the Supreme Court refused to rule on the constitutionality of the Stock Distribution Option (SDO), saying that there is no compelling reason to do so. It said it would only rule on the constitutionality of a law if, 1. There is an actual case or controversy; 2. the issue is raised at the earliest possible opportunity; and 3. it is essential to the resolution of the case. Using this argument, the Supreme Court said that while there is an actual case, FARM, which raised the constitutionality issue, took 14 years to question it. And that essential issue in the case at hand is not the constitutionality of the SDO but the authority of the PARC and the basis it used to revoke the SDO.
Chief Justice Renato Corona is right in saying that the court must not hesitate to wield the power of judicial review if it sees that a law impairs basic rights. In his dissenting opinion, Chief Justice Corona said the SDO is a "grave violation of the Constitution" and "runs roughshod over the language and spirit" of the Charter. "Unless there is land distribution, there can be no agrarian reform. Any program that gives farmers or farmworkers anything less than ownership of land fails to conform to the mandate of the Constitution. In other words, a program that gives qualified beneficiaries stock certificates instead of land is not agrarian reform." That is well said.
Adding insult to injury, while the 10 justices of the Supreme Court refused to rule on the constitutionality of the SDO, it proceeded to justify the SDO by equating the provision of the Constitution for collective ownership of farms to the SDO. It practically puts corporate ownership – which, in this case, is obviously controlled by the landlords – on the same level as farm workers' cooperatives and peasant associations. On second thought, if this is the thinking of the majority in the Supreme Court, it could have been better that it did not rule on the SDO's constitutionality.
Second, the Supreme Court decision upheld the revocation of the Stock Distribution Plan (SDP) of Hacienda Luisita on the basis that: the Presidential Agrarian Reform Council (PARC) has the authority to revoke what it has approved; the HLI did not fully comply with the timeframe for the distribution of shares and the provision that it should distribute home lots to all farm worker beneficiaries; and the HLI, by using as incentive the distribution of shares to farm workers who were hired after 1989 – the year the SDP was approved – effectively diluted the shares of the 6,296 original qualified farm worker beneficiaries. However, it struck down a very important basis of the PARC for revoking the SDP in 2005: the SDP failed to improve the lives of the farm workers and that they were deeper in poverty than when the stocks were distributed. The Honorable Justices of the Supreme Court opined that the intention of the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program is merely to provide farmers and farm workers with the OPPORTUNITY to "enhance their dignity and improve the quality of their lives through greater productivity of agricultural lands," and not to guarantee it.
This goes to show that the Supreme Court, by merely interpreting the letter of the law, misses the essential point that the purpose of agrarian reform is to promote social justice. And social justice is about correcting inequities, promoting equality and improving the lives of the poor majority.
The worst part of the Supreme Court decision is that while it revoked the stock distribution plan of HLI, it called for a referendum to make the farm worker beneficiaries choose whether they would opt to retain their stocks or to get their piece of land.
Why on earth would the farm workers be made to choose between what has been declared as null and void and their right to the land?
The Supreme Court justified this by citing the "operative fact" doctrine. It claimed that the "operative fact" doctrine is being applied to avoid the commission of "undue harshness and resulting unfairness" with the declaration of a law or executive action as null and void. According to the Supreme Court, under the operative fact doctrine, a law or executive action is deemed legal and valid until declared null and void by a court. All acts, therefore, from the time the law or executive action was promulgated to the time it was declared invalid would be deemed legal and valid.
Against whom would the undue harshness and resulting unfairness be committed if the whole SDP was rescinded? Is it not the whole point of the Supreme Court decision to revoke the SDP to correct a wrong that was done to the farm workers? This is where I was lost with the legal gobbledegook.
But what can be concluded from the decision of the Supreme Court to call for a referendum? In interpreting the law, the Supreme Court has effectively committed an injustice against the farm workers by denying them their right to the land and leaving them at the mercy of the Cojuangco-Aquino clan. Previous referendums conducted by the Cojuangco-Aquino clan have shown how they exploited the poverty of the farm workers and manipulated them by promising them huge amounts of money in exchange for their vote to opt for the shares, only to be given meager amounts in the end. And after the referendum, it would back to business for HLI while the farm workers sink deeper into the quagmire of poverty.
As another political economist aptly said, for rights to be equal, it must be unequal. This means that for society to promote genuine equality then rights, as defined by law, must favor those who have less. And the courts must not merely interpret laws but must dispense justice.

Construction worker, Emmanuel John, raped a 39-year-old woman in an uncompleted building.
Crime Health News
zolexrep
An Ikeja Special Offences and Domestic Violence Court, Lagos, yesterday heard how a construction worker, Emmanuel John, allegedly raped a 39-year-old woman in an uncompleted building.
A policeman, Sergeant Olakunle Orebe, told the court that John allegedly raped the woman, who was hawking beans and yam (popularly known as 'ewa agoyin'), on June 20, 2017 at No 14, Akins Addo Road, Ajah. Orebe, attached to the Gender Unit at the Ikeja Police Command, said that the victim, a Togolese, was alleged raped by John and his friend, identified as Obinna (now at large), about 11.45a.m. on that fateful day.
The 34-year-old construction worker, who has been in prison custody since 2017, is standing trial for an offence of rape. However, Orebe, while led in evidence by the state prosecuting counsel, B. T. Boye, said that the defendant and the case file were transferred to him from Langbasa Police Station, Ajah on June 23, 2017. Orebe said he visited the crime scene and also interviewed the victim.
He added: "The survivor (victim) told me that she was hawking her usual food items when one man (Obinna) came and called her, on the pretence of buying beans and yam.
"The victim narrated that the defendant asked her to come and sell to his friend (the defendant), who he claimed was already waiting at his house. "She said that she quickly followed behind him to the uncompleted building and met his friend.
But instead of requesting for food, they ordered her to remove her clothes. The defendant forcibly removed her clothes, held her hands while his friend had sexual intercourse with her. "The victim told me that the defendant thereafter took turn to rape her."
Meanwhile, during cross examination by the defence counsel, Akinyemi Adetunyi, the policeman said that the defendant made a confessional statement at the station admitting that he had sexual intercourse with the victim. In his confessional statement, John said he had sexual intercourse with the woman on an agreement of paying her N500 for the sex. He said: "I met my friend having sex with her when I came back to the house.
My friend told me not to shout but that I could also do mine if I wanted to. I agreed but the woman then insisted that I pay N500 for a round of sex. I agreed, although I had no money in my pocket."

Jake Phillips PhD, PGCert, MSc, BA (Hons), FHEA
Reader in Criminology
As Lecturer in Criminology I teach undergraduate students across all levels.
I also act as Academic Advisor for Level 4 and 5 students as well as dissertation supervisor at Level 6.
In addition to teaching I am involved in research and scholarly activities which centre mainly on probation and community sanctions and, more broadly, penology.
I joined Sheffield Hallam University in September 2012 where I am involved in delivering core and optional modules on the criminology programmes as well as supervising dissertation students and conducting research.
Prior to coming to Sheffield Hallam I was at the University of Cambridge where I completed my PhD which examined the culture of probation. I was also involved in teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students as well as conducting research into deaths under probation supervision and the implementation of a Bail Accommodation and Support Service.
I have worked in various roles in the criminal justice system. The roles have all involved working with offenders in the community and have, at different times, focused on employment, training and education; drug using offenders; and housing support.
Department Of Law and Criminology
Social Sciences and Arts
I teach on undergraduate modules at all levels including: Graduate Research and Development, Controversies of Punishment, Experiencing Custodial and Community Sanctions, and Crime and Justice in the Information Age.
I am module leader of Controversies of Punishment and Experiencing Custodial and Community Sanctions.
I teach core criminological and penological theory modules at Levels 4 and 5 and teach on optional modules related to the prison, rehabilitation and punishment, and drugs, crime and justice.
My research centres on the intersection of policy and practice in the field of probation and community sanctions.
I am currently engaged in research on: emotional labour in probation; the impact of inspection on probation; and the deaths of offenders in the community with a focus on self-inflicted deaths and access to justice.

Orange County will go ahead with vaccinations of people 40 and over, in spite of new rules from the state of Florida
Photo courtesy FEMA/Facebook
A FEMA worker prepares a COVID-19 vaccination syringe.
Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday issues an executive order explicitly setting the lower age limit of the Florida's COVID-19 vaccination guidelines at 50 . If you wanted to read the move as a swipe at Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings, who lowered his own county's vaccination age limit to 40 the day before, a story was there.
But politics watchers didn't need to bust out the tea leaves, as DeSantis made his feelings on Demings' decision abundantly clear before his press conference ended.
"It's not his decision to make," DeSantis said when asked about Demings' plan. "There's a structure in the state of Florida on how these decisions are made."
In spite of this, Orange County plans to go ahead with vaccinations of anyone over the age of 40. In a letter to the state director of emergency management sent prior to DeSantis' announcement, Demings laid out his progress so far and his reasoning for going beyond the state guidelines.
"Orange County has completed 67% of the 65 and older population and 57% of the 60 and older population," he wrote. "In addition, Orange County has a larger amount of the younger population compared to many other counties."
Demings stuck to his plan in a statement shared with Orlando Weekly after DeSantis' news conference.
"I was elected to work on the behalf of the citizens of Orange County and I take that responsibility seriously," he told us. "In my judgement, due to the depressed demand at the Convention Center, lowering the age was the right thing to do."

One of the historic "Original Six" teams, the Toronto Maple Leafs have not enjoyed regular title success since the 1960s but still feature a rich history and large fan base. With gift shopping in mind, the following guide features top gift ideas and suggestions for fans and collectors of the Leafs.
Those that are interested in more detailed information about the Maple Leafs should check out our comprehensive Toronto Maple Leafs Collecting Guide.
The list below contains 20 different gift ideas that would perfect for fans and collectors of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Specific items and broad suggestions are both available along with a variety of price points that can fit into most budgets.
Ted "Teeder" Kennedy spent his entire career with the Leafs and was a main component of their titles teams in the 1940s and 1950s. One of the biggest names in the history of the Maple Leafs, signed photos for the Hall of Fame centre are not in great supply but prices are reasonable.
Another Hall of Fame name from the history of the Leafs, Frank Mahovlich was a star player for the team and part of four title teams. After a falling-out with coach Punch Imlach, Mahovlich was traded to the Detroit Red Wings. Fans still remember him fondly and signed pucks are a fun gift option, especially when space is an issue.
A top defender of his era, Borje Salming is a fan favorite for the Leafs. The Swedish-born Salming was one of the earliest European imports to see success in the NHL. A signed jersey presents a terrific premium gift option.
Strong on defense and offense, Dave Keon remains the only player for the Maple Leafs to win the Conn Smyth Trophy. A signed photo offers a great gift option for a fan of the team.
A top scorer in the team's playoff history, Wendel Clark came up big when it mattered most. He played for the Maple Leafs on three separate occasions, along with five other NHL teams, but is mostly remembered for his time with Toronto. His signed jerseys are not cheap, but can be a fantastic premium gift. View more signed items for Wendel Clark here.
The overall leader in career points for Toronto, Mats Sundin is another Swede who did big things with the Maple Leafs. After 13 seasons with the team and a final year with Vancouver, Sundin retired in 2009. Autographed photo prices can vary greatly for Sundin but cheaper prices can be found with relative ease.
Although he started his career with the Philadelphia Flyers, a trade sent van Riemsdyk to Toronto in 2012 and he has become one of the best scoring threats on the current squad. A signed photo offers a nice budget option for a current fan of the Maple Leafs.
Arguably the top current player, Phil Kessel is also the main scoring threat for the Maple Leafs. A framed collage offers an appealing budget option, but Kessel autographs are a solid option too. View other plaques and collages for Leafs players here.
While they have seemingly gotten away from their title tradition, 11 Stanley Cup wins is still an impressive achievement. All the titles years are noted on this quality wool banner for the Maple Leafs.
A fun budget gift, this blanket for the Maple Leafs features a bold look and strong functionality.
Tumblers can make for some of the most useful gifts and that fact that it includes a Maple Leafs theme makes it that much more appealing for fans and collectors.
Another budget gift for the Leafs, this team puck has a direct relation to the sport but can also function as a display pice or paperweight. The puck can also be paired with the tumbler and/or the blanket to make a Toronto combo gift.
Hockey cards are a popular option for fans, but they are not as simple to buy because they are so specific. One option we recommend for budget gifts or stocking stuffers is Toronto Maple Leafs team sets. Some are sealed and some are hand-collated, but the result is the same. Make sure to verify the year of the card and the players included to make sure you are getting what you expect.
Whether shopping for a child or an adult, Toronto Maple Leafs figures and bobbleheads can be a great gift. Several different brands offer a variety of options and many players can be found from the history of the franchise. Check out specific figures on eBay using the links below.
There are a good variety of different Toronto Maple Leafs team fatheads. In addition to team logo versions, players are some of the top Fatheads and three of the most popular Maple Leafs are noted below.
Smartphones are the new norm and can make for an easy and inexpensive gift for a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Just make sure to verify the exact make and model before you buy. We have included direct links to Amazon below for the most popular phone models.
Jerseys remain the most common way for fans to display their love of the Toronto Maple Leafs . Replica versions offer cheaper prices and fans can also have them customized for added appeal. If you are overwhelmed by the many versions, check our detailed NHL jersey guide here.

It feels like I haven't written flash fiction, or anything really, in ages. But I'm finally over this cold I've had enough that I could sit down and finish the flash fic piece I started last week – and I am very happy about it! This snippet is me dipping my toes into a new idea of mine – a slice-of-life series, or maybe a collection of stand-alones, centered around a small town full of witches and other magical folks. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing with the concept yet. I might work on it for NaNo if I can get an outline done in time. Either way, I'm quite happy with the piece below in spite of the slight awkward ending. It was starting to turn into a full chapter from a novel so I just had to end it someplace. Enjoy!
Leah drew a deep breath as she stepped out onto the porch, the chill air of the morning flowing in through her sinuses and down into her chest and making her entire being feel more alert, more awake than she had been in the cozy and lightly chaotic confines of the family kitchen. Midway through September, summer had begun giving way to fall and as she started on her ten minute walk to the clinic, Leah's hazel eyes caressed the world around her, taking in the many little signs of the change of seasons present in their front garden. The blackberry bushes would be heavy with fruit if they hadn't already been picked and made into jam and pie and other goodies, and the foliage on the trees and shrubs was starting to change colors. Even the leaves on Rowan's tree form had started to pale into yellow. Leah put her hand on the bark, stopping briefly as she passed by.
"Good morning, darling," she said. "Don't oversleep now, or you'll be late for class." She knew Rowan couldn't hear her in this form, not really, but even so it felt as if she was neglecting some motherly duty when she didn't remind her.
She patted the trunk twice, then headed out the garden gate. It was early – she always liked an early start to her days – and the streets were still mostly empty, though when she turned down Heart Street she felt the smell of freshly baked break wafting down the street toward her. She waved at the baker through the window as she passed by, and further down the street spotted Eva, up on a step-ladder outside Cauldron. As she came closer, Leah saw that she was hanging a garland of small, carved pumpkins and purple, shimmering Venetian masks up above the door to the shop. Another garland, of soft, silken flowers in bright summer colors laid coiled on the ground by the side of the stool.
"Really, Eva? Samhain colors already? It's not even Mabon yet!" She said, half-chiding, slowing down a moment to talk to her friend.
"You should stop by on your way back. They're on offer – three for… something or other." Eva wiggled her fingers dismissively, an untroubled cousin of sheepishness in her grin.
"Blessed be!" Eva turned her attention back to the garland.
"Blessed be," Leah returned, and resumed her walk toward the clinic. The stack of articles on her desk were calling to her, and at four she had a sonogram scheduled for a siren, which she was excited about to a nearly inappropriate degree. Today was going to be a good day.

Q: Send String through Bluetooth From Java Server to Android Client I got a problem regarded with send data from server to client using Bluetooth.
I want to send 360 string from PC server to Android client every 5 second. But i can only send one string especially after '\n', then server is closed.
Could anyone help me to understand this code? actually I just get this code from here.
This is my server code.
public class SimpleSPPServer {

//start server
private void startServer() throws IOException{

    //Create a UUID for SPP
    UUID uuid = new UUID("1101", true);
    //Create the servicve url
    String connectionString = "btspp://localhost:" + uuid +";name=Sample SPP Server";

    //open server url
    StreamConnectionNotifier streamConnNotifier = (StreamConnectionNotifier)Connector.open( connectionString );

    //Wait for client connection
    System.out.println("\nServer Started. Waiting for clients to connect...");
    StreamConnection connection=streamConnNotifier.acceptAndOpen();

    RemoteDevice dev = RemoteDevice.getRemoteDevice(connection);
    System.out.println("Remote device address: "+dev.getBluetoothAddress());
    System.out.println("Remote device name: "+dev.getFriendlyName(true));

    /*
    //read string from spp client
    InputStream inStream=connection.openInputStream();
    BufferedReader bReader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStream));
    String lineRead=bReader.readLine();
    System.out.println(lineRead);
    */

    //send response to spp client

    **String message = "-0.145 \n";
    byte[] msgBuffer = message.getBytes();
    OutputStream outStream=connection.openOutputStream();
    outStream.write(msgBuffer);**

    //PrintWriter pWriter=new PrintWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(outStream));
    //pWriter.write("Response String from SPP Server\r\n");
    //pWriter.flush();

    //pWriter.close();
    streamConnNotifier.close();

}

Basically I want to modified the bold part into this one:
Byte [] msgBuffer;
OutputStream outStream;
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
String message = "-0.145" + i;
msgBuffer = message.getBytes();
outStream=connection.openOutputStream();
outStream.write(msgBuffer);
}

But it cannot accept the multiple data.
This is my client side:
try {
  inStream = btSocket.getInputStream();
  //outStream = btSocket.getOutputStream();

  BufferedReader bReader=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inStream));
  String lineRead = bReader.readLine();

  newNumber = Double.valueOf(lineRead);

  numbertime = (double) 0;

DataPoint v = new DataPoint(numbertime,newNumber);
mlii.appendData(v, true, 1);

System.out.println("data"+v);
  //System.out.println("I got the text from server = "+lineRead);
  //out.append("I got the text from server = "+lineRead);

} catch (IOException e) {
  AlertBox("Fatal Error", "In onResume() and output stream creation failed:" + e.getMessage() + ".");
}

One of the hardest parts that come with a startup is coming up with the motivation to start and continually work on your startup. How do you motivate yourself if you already have a 9-5 job? How do you do it without one?
If you're breaking into a new market with your web start-up, and creating something that didn't exist before, you're going to come across situations and scenarios that you hadn't expected. Are you ready to start over if you got it wrong first time?
How can we Democratize early stage funding using only 4billions and create 500.000 jobs?


Processes are split in two categories depending on whether they need a user present on the workstation or not. These categories are Interactive and Non-Interactive Processes.
Any time the user uses the keyboard or mouse, he is creating input for the computer. Every time something shows on the screen, the computer is showing output. There also activities that demand a user to be logged in on the workstation like launching Desktop or Web applications. These are called Interactive functions because the computer interacts with the user through the screen and the activities need a user to run under.
Non-Interactive functions are those that don't require input (keyboard & mouse) or create output on your monitor and logged in user is not mandatory. For example, if a computer is set up to automatically connect to the Internet on start-up, this is non-interactive as you don't have to do anything and nothing shows up on the monitor. Likewise, computers will check email, install updates, move files, rename folders etc. – all without any action or knowledge on the user's part.
Interactive -needing a user to be present and Logged in, so to send keystrokes or mouse events, or to start Processes, to open files etc…- or Non-Interactive depending on the actions it contains. While Interactive functions can only work when a user is logged in and probably present on the machine, only Non-Interactive Processes can run when all users are logged out! With WinAutomation, you may run Processes while you are logged in but also in the background which include Non-Interactive actions like folders, files manipulation, compression/decompression, e-mail configuration, loops, conditionals, text manipulation, etc.
