Q: VLC RTSP live stream to Android For my app I have to stream from a decklink card to an Android app (I must be a live stream, so either HLS or RTSP seems to be good solutions, since my app targets Android 3+). I recompiled VLC with the decklink sdk, and I am able to live stream to another pc over the network (but it works only 60sec with RTSP).
Here is what I tried :

*

*HTTP Stream :
./vlc -vvv decklink:// --sout
'#transcode{vcodec=mp4v,acodec=mpga,vb=56,ab=24,channels=1}
:standard{access=http{use-key-frames},mux=ts,dst=:3001/stream.mpeg}'

It is working in Android VLC 0.0.11, but only in WiFi, not in 3G. And I am not able to play it in my app with a VideoView. Here is the code I used and the corresponding error messages :
String url = "http://134.246.63.169:5554/stream.mpeg";

VideoView videoView = (VideoView) this.findViewById(R.id.videoView);
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(url));
videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this));
videoView.requestFocus();
videoView.start();

Error messages :

*RTSP :

I used the encoding options recommended by Google on this page, eg :

*

*video codec : h264

*audio codec : AAC

*video bitrate : 56

*audio bitrate : 24

*audio channels : 1

*size : 176x144
./vlc -vvv decklink:// --sout-ffmpeg-strict=-2 --sout
'#transcode{width=176,height=144,vcodec=h264,acodec=mp4a,vb=56,ab=24,channels=1}

I am able to play the stream in VLC desktop, but not in Android (even in the Android VLC version or the default Google video player:/ ).
If I don't specify a muxer, I can also play it it QuickTime (if I specify the muxer, either ts or ps, I have no video. If I try another muxer, VLC tells me that I am only allowed to use ts or ps in RTP)
If I try with the Google video player, I get these messages in the locat :

I guess the problem is pointed with the "status: RTSP/1.0 461 Unsupported transport", but I don't see what can I change : I already open the ports I use, and I do receive the video on another computer.
On the Android phone, I can play some rtsp streams I found on the web, for exemple this one : rtsp://184.72.239.149/vod/mp4:BigBuckBunny_115k.mov .
So it should be possible.
If anyone can help... !

A: Finally it was a network problem, I was connecting my devices through a MacBook WiFi sharing, and it seems that it blocked the RTSP stream. Now I am using a router and it works in RTSP (I'm still not able to receive a HTTP stream in the Android VideoView).
Nevertheless, I still have a timeout issue : the RTSP stream stops after 60 sec, because the VideoView doesn't send keep alive messages. I will try to do it myself...

A: I've tested my rtsp server with openRTSP command.
It's the UDP ports been blocked.
If accessing rtsp without -t:
-> $ openRTSP <rtsp_url>

I got log telling me:
// omit lots of lines..

Now I've got to figure out how to auto switch to TCP in Android.

A: please try the VLC:
vlc some_file.mp4 -I http --sout "#transcode{soverlay,ab=128,samplerate=44100,channels=2,acodec=mp4a,vcodec=h264,width=480,height=270,vfilter="canvas{width=480,height=270,aspect=16:9}",fps=25,vb=800,venc=x264{level=12,no-cabac,subme=20,threads=4,bframes=0,min-keyint=1,keyint=50}}:gather:rtp{mp4a-latm,sdp=rtsp://0.0.0.0:5554/stream.sdp}"
and the android code:
@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        final VideoView vidView = (VideoView)findViewById(R.id.myVideo);

        MediaController vidControl = new MediaController(this);
        vidControl.setAnchorView(vidView);
        vidView.setMediaController(vidControl);

        vidView.setVideoPath("rtsp://137.110.92.231:5554/stream.sdp");

        vidView.start();
        }

A: Use MediaPlayer it supports both HTTP and RTSP network protocols.

The best way to get to our winery by the Nahe river and to our wine tavern is to take the highway A61. Take exit Dorsheim and follow signage to Münster-Sarmsheim.
At the end of the road, turn left onto the main road.
Follow this road and you will see the winery and the wine tavern after approximately 2km on the left hand side. Across the winery is a parking lot especially for guests of the winery and wine tavern.


The future Church of the Commandments in Clinton Township, Michigan.
The question I pose is this: if you knew you were going to die next week, would you do what you are doing today? Do you have a longing for choices that are outside of your daily and weekly routines? Do you live with regret over things that you could easily change, but have ignored out of laziness, fear, or doubt? At some level you probably realize that no one can make choices for you or save you from indecision. You alone are responsible for your choices and lack of choices. This might seem a burden at first, but should more correctly be considered a gift because it means that you can have a better reality if you choose to make better decisions. Life is really that easy.
For most people, the end always comes sooner than expected because mortality is not a consideration that is taken seriously or realistically. Anything can happen at any time and life is truly more open than most people will admit. Despite the safety of routines, nature's energy is derived from her chaos, not from the regularity imposed upon chaos. Both are needed for growth, as chaos by itself is little more than random waves of energy, while order by itself is merely a stagnant framework. As humans, we are assemblers that negotiate the reality formed between the two, making us part of the eternal symbiotic relationship between order and chaos.
This always subjects us to the possibility of a physical death, though that is not nearly as terrible as the regret that we are capable of suffering over prolonged periods, even throughout the remainder of our lives. What few people consider is that the most difficult regret comes as the final reflection of our personal consciousness when all denial is overcome and we are honest with ourselves about what life really was. Consider how disappointing it is to die knowing that you let the best possibilities of life slip through your fingers.
Regret is sometimes the most honest voice we know. We dream of our past and think of the future we could have had. It seems that we have somehow lost that dream and our most honest voice tells us we should have acted differently. Often it is not too late, though we are too stubborn or too afraid to take action to do what we know will bring us lasting fulfillment. A few small choices can change the world, but too often we choose the safe nothing to stave off the emergence of new paths.
Think of this as a call for a spiritual spring cleaning. Winter came and made you hide away in protective shelter, but it also distanced you from life. Spring is here and now it's time to live again, which means aspiring in the open instead of resting comfortably inside.
Face yourself in the mirror and accept that if you do nothing then nothing will happen. In other words, a routine introduces no new energy into a system, so that system will eventually come to a stop with you trapped inside. Ask yourself the hardest questions about where your path is going and what you really wish to do with your life. Avoid the lure of compromise which is certain to give you only what you don't want. Listen instead to your own voice, not the voice of others who might want you to make them happy at your expense.
Surely your hands are every bit as capable as you remember them to be. If you have dreams and hopes that haunt you, resolve to pursue them with action so you will not have to harbor the increasing regret that comes from not trying.

"Latest version of resolution could represent compromise"
A new version of the Srebrenica draft "condemns genocide, but acknowledges innocent victims on all sides in that town and its vicinity, and throughout Bosnia."
Source: Beta, Tanjug Thursday, July 2, 2015 | 09:55
According to the Belgrade-based daily Politika quoted by Beta, this version, the third, also speaks about victims of sexual violence on all sides, and leaves out a previous statement about "tens of thousands of women, girls, men and boys" that were victims of sexual violence during the war in Bosnia, including in Srebrenica.
The document prepared by Britain now states that "more than 8,000 lives were lost in the genocide, while thousands were displaced, and families and communities destroyed."
The daily noted that "genocide" is mentioned 26 times, while it was found 35 times in the first draft, while the word "reconciliation" appears five times instead of three.
However - Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dacic told state broadcaster RTS on Thursday that there was a fourth version of the same draft, and that it will be sent to Belgrade later in the day.
RTS said it learned unofficially that this newest version "is even closer to the Russian draft."
Speaking about the third version, Dacic said the goal of the British resolution was to "reduce the whole tragedy of the war only to Srebrenica, to that one crime."
He added that Serbian authorities "do not think this satisfies justice for all the victims," and that the government has not yet made any official statement about the new document, while UN Security Council members have not yet harmonized the text.
Dacic said that the fourth version "could represent a compromise solution" in relation to the Russian document.

A trip in which i retrace the route of my accident I had four year ago.
At the time of this trip however, the road was still undergoing reconstruction. So, unfortunately it was a far more cautious and slower beginning to the trip that I have enjoyed in the past. Usually I will stay in Pai for a night and chill out, but this time I just stopped off for lunch and short relax then continued on towards MHS instead. I missed out Fish Cave, which is actually a really great place to visit, and also Lod Cave.
Just before MHS you reach a town called Soppong. I had been told that Soppong River Inn is a lovely place to stay. So I headed there. I arranged to stay in a bungalow on the river, which had a nice peaceful feel to it. Until, that is, a large group of riders checked into the bungalow next to me. The noise was really quite bad and a lot of people were getting drunk and rowdy. It required being brought up about to the owner. Thankfully she was understanding and offered another room. However, what happened instead (which was really very nice of them) was that the group of riders who were told about the noise disturbance, decided to move to a different bungalow instead. I did feel a little guilty but at the same time I got a much needed quiet time and a good nights sleep. The bungalows at River Inn are close to each other so noise reverberates, sadly. It was a very scenic place though and would stay again.
In the morning I allowed myself a long lie in before check-out then set off for Mae Hong Son for lunch. Had a quick look around MHS and grabbed a bite to eat at Salween River Restaurant. Enjoyed the food and the prices, and the owner was lovely.
I ended up taking far longer in the restaurant than I should of and realised I wasn't making good time if i wanted to get to Mae Chaem. There were dark clouds looming also, and it seemed a spot of rain was heading my way. I absolutely didn't want to stay in Khun Yuam, that's for sure, as too many bad memories from years before (I'm referring to my accident, which is what this trip was actually all about..). So I headed off for the 1263, only stopping in Khun Yuam to fill up.
As I mentioned previously, this trip was a cathartic one for me, because it was all about retracing my steps when I had a serious accident 4 years previously on the same day. I recall nothing of the route due to the concussion I sustained and I wondered if riding along the same route would bring back any memories. But nothing was coming back to me.
I found the road fun to ride on, as it was now completely resurfaced making it an easy ride.
About half an hour into the ride a small thunderstorm hit and it was really refreshing. It didn't last long and at the end I was rewarded by a beautiful rainbow (a double rainbow in fact!). I felt good. I felt happy. I was finally going to finish the trip I never finished those years ago.
About another half hour or so on 1263 route I was losing myself in enjoying the ride and had to remind myself to keep a look out for any possible reminders. I had been going along happily, I felt good, really good, when suddenly a weird thing happened. You can read about that and watch the video i took here.
Anyway after I recovered myself I headed on towards Mae Chaem, happy that I the past was now behind me. Before I got to Mae Chaem the sky was getting dark. I had set off way too late in the afternoon and with the rainstorm stops (2 stops) and the time resting near my accident point, I found myself beginning to ride in the dark (and around these areas it really is PITCH black at night). The headlight on my dtracker is poor and the GPS on my phone was out (because i had no signal), so as I wasn't sure how much further it was to get to Mae Chaem, I decided to rest up at the first town I came across. Found a small town and some ratty accommodation owned by a sweet old couple and rested up for the night after eating at a local cheap eatery. In the morning, when I headed out for Mae Chaem, it turned out to be just about 15 mins away haha. But no regrets, I enjoyed the quiet cheap place. There was also one very lovely aspect and that was the brightness of the stars outside. There were very few streetlights and no road lights anywhere around the area, so the sky was stunning. It was a little spooky at times though…BOO!.
I actually (embarrassingly) don't quite recall what i did after that. I think I was just on a high. A high from the trip and from it being such a significant trip for me. I do remember arriving home a bit later and thinking "I wish I was still out riding!".
I could have kept going. I felt exhilarated and happy to be alive.
My bike got just a tad dirty on this trip..haha.
What do you think of the Mae Hong Son loop?
This post is from 2 year ago, but I have done the loop several times since then, and recently.
Maybe some random pot holes and gravel areas (such as the Mae Chaem > Khun Yuam road).
If you want to avoid that, you can go Khun Yuam to Mae Sariang instead.
Or, welcome to message me / comment, if you need any other info.

A: The error is because you used the tablesonly option to the endfloat package and you declared the sidewaysfigure as delayed float. To avoid this error change the code
\@ifpackageloaded{endfloat}{\DeclareDelayedFloatFlavor{sidewaysfigure}{figure}}{}

to below:
    \AtBeginDocument{%

  }%false
  }

The above code will check all the possible condition. Here we can use the commands \@ifpackagewith and \@ifpackageloaded for this.


The rapid delivery of goods ordered online is highly dependent on the "last mile" of the supply chain. Last-mile fulfillment is essentially the final leg of delivery rather than a literal measurement of distance. But just how close to major population centers are these last-mile facilities? CBRE Research analyzed the 15 largest metro areas in the U.S. and found that distances range from six miles in the San Francisco Bay Area to nine miles in the Inland Empire. Generally, highly urbanized and dense population centers were closer to last-mile facilities, while more suburban and geographically larger areas were farther from last-mile facilities.
How is last mile impacting industrial real estate?
As consumer preferences have evolved and the need for faster service has grown, demand for last-mile real estate has spiked. These properties, which are mainly smaller, Class B infill facilities, have experienced rapid rent growth driven by the combination of massive user demand and a lack of new development. This supply/demand imbalance is especially acute in the West, where light-industrial rents (a good proxy for last mile) have grown by more than 10% annually in the past two years.

Bayer puts safety first and preventing accidents and incidents is a top priority – in day-to-day work, in the operation of production facilities, and on work-related travel and transportation routes where people or the environment may suffer harm or damage.
Safeguarding the occupational health and safety of our employees, and of the employees of contractors and suppliers on our company premises and under the supervision of Bayer, is one of our core tasks. This entails preventing work-related accidents and occupational illnesses, assessing potential hazards, ensuring comprehensive risk management and creating a healthy working environment.
The basis of our reporting on occupational injuries is the Recordable Incident Rate (RIR), which covers all injuries to employees leading to medical treatment that goes beyond simple first aid. This includes injuries and occupational illnesses both with and without lost workdays. In 2018, the RIR fell to 0.39 cases per 200,000 hours worked, corresponding to 518 occupational injuries worldwide. This means that, in statistical terms, one recordable incident occurred for more than every 500,000 hours worked. Recordable injuries with lost workdays constituted 306 of the total of 518 occupational injuries, meaning that the corresponding parameter, the Lost Time Recordable Incident Rate (LTRIR), dropped to 0.24 in 2018.
Regrettably, two people lost their lives in work-related accidents in 2018. These comprised one Bayer employee and one employee of a subcontractor.
The figures include employees working for third parties whose accidents occurred on our company premises and under Bayer supervision.
Occupational illnesses are included in the parameters RIR and LTRIR, regardless of whether or not they are listed in national registers of occupational diseases. As lists of occupational diseases are not globally standardized and in many countries do not exist at all, we document all occupational illnesses, provided they have been diagnosed and recognized by a physician. In 2018, 34 new cases of occupational illnesses were reported throughout the Bayer Group. These were related to the musculoskeletal system and heat-related illnesses resulting from work outdoors, among other issues.
Workplaces at Bayer are regularly subject to a health-related risk assessment and a hazard analysis on a comprehensive basis. These analyses are used to derive measures that, in conjunction with targeted studies, are designed to prevent occupational illnesses. Alongside the country-specific regulations on mandatory examinations, we offer our employees regular medical examinations – in some cases on a mandatory basis – in all countries in which this is legally permissible. The focus here is on the risks that exist at each workplace.
In 2018, as in previous years, we hardly recorded any accidents (less than 3.0%) involving contact with chemicals. A significant proportion of the accidents and injuries suffered by our employees have behavior-linked causes. Our Behavioral Safety Program is addressing this challenge with suitable training measures. More than 12,000 employees have been trained at 139 sites worldwide since 2015. Significant behavioral improvements were achieved in areas in which the program has already been implemented, and the Recordable Incident Rate is therefore expected to decline across the Bayer Group in the medium term. The initiative is to be extended to the sites of the acquired agriculture business from 2019.
We aim to design and operate our processes and production facilities in such a way that they do not pose any inappropriate risks to employees, the environment or neighboring communities. Therefore, we are continually working to further develop the safety culture, the expertise of employees and the globally applicable corporate policies on process and plant safety, which prescribe uniform processes and standards for identifying risks and establishing safety measures, thus ensuring a comparable safety level at all production sites. Compliance with internal and external safety regulations is verified in internal audits.
The statements on and indicators for process and plant safety in this Annual Report also apply to the acquired agriculture business. The detailed harmonization of the systems will be implemented in the years ahead.
Our experts systematically identify the process risks in the production facilities and develop robust protective concepts that consider health, safety and environmental aspects. We validate these safety concepts every five years to maintain the high safety level of our facilities. Technical modifications are subject to a stringent change management process. Furthermore, maintenance and inspection programs are established for the safety facilities to ensure the necessary availability and functionality in case of need. Before a new production facility is brought on stream, our safety experts verify all defined safety measures and confirm their proper implementation through plant and equipment inspections.
A globally standardized key performance indicator (KPI) – Loss of Primary Containment (LoPC material release / leakages) – is used at Bayer as an early indicator for plant safety incidents and is integrated into Group-wide safety reporting. LoPC incidents refer to the leakage of chemical substances or energy in amounts above defined thresholds from their primary containment, such as pipelines, pumps, tanks or drums. The LoPC Incident Rate (LoPC-IR) indicates the number of LoPC incidents per 200,000 hours worked. In 2018, the LoPC-IR was 0.09 (2017: 0.13). Bayer's LoPC reporting is based on the requirements of the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC), which apply uniformly throughout Europe. Starting in 2019, we will apply the reporting criteria of the International Council of Chemical Associations (ICCA) and classify the release of chemical substances or energies as Process Safety Incidents (PSIs).
To prevent comparable substance and energy releases in the future, the causes of PSIs will be analyzed and relevant findings communicated appropriately throughout the Bayer Group. The reporting thresholds were intentionally set at such a low level that even material and energy leaks that have no impact on employees, neighbors or the environment are systematically recorded and reported. This preventive approach is applied so that weaknesses can be identified and corrected before a more serious incident can occur.
HSEQ stands for health, safety, environment and quality. ) Audits." Apart from internal Bayer specifications, the international regulations of the WHO and Crop Life International also apply as standards. The acquired agriculture business has its own regulations on and processes for transportation safety that are not comparable with Bayer's. These will still apply until Bayer's transport and storage safety requirements have been introduced in the acquired business, starting in 2019. The qualitative information below does not yet include the acquired business. The number of transport incidents pertains to both Bayer and the acquired business.
Transportation safety plays a key role both in the transportation of our products on public routes and in loading, unloading, classification, labeling and packaging, particularly of hazardous goods. Our Procurement unit (excluding the acquired agriculture business) selects logistics partners according to strict safety, environmental and quality criteria. The implementation of our requirements ensures that the materials are handled and transported in line with applicable regulations and the potential hazard they pose. In addition to the legally required training courses for our employees, we offer special electronic training programs to convey specialist knowledge that are also accessible to our service providers.
On account of our extensive safety precautions and training activities, transport incidents are rare. These include accidents that cause personal injury or significant damage to property, environmental impact resulting from the release of substances, or leakage of hazardous goods. Such accidents are recorded in detail and assessed on the basis of defined criteria. All 10 transport incidents (including those of the acquired agriculture business) in 2018 (2017: 9) involved road transport accidents. Two of the transport incidents were also classed as environmental incidents.

Q: Kafka stream app can't get its own local state store value I'm new comer to kafka and playing WordCount.java which materialized to state store named "counts-store"
created a topic streams-plaintext-input with 2 partitions then running 2 WordCount apps in same machine, say App1 and App2
the issue is why App1 processed the words but local state store return null while App2 is able to get count value from local state store. in other words, one App's local state store is in peer's state store.
here is the producer
kafka-console-producer.bat --bootstrap-server localhost:9092 --topic streams-plaintext-input

log line is added so I can know App1 or App2 process the word
KStream<String,String> words = source.flatMapValues(value -> {
            System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getName() + " text line splitted ["+value+"]");
            return Arrays.asList(value.toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault()).split("\\W+"));
        });

so far so good, App1 and App2 process new coming words alternately.
then add query state store code to the same class
for(int i=0; i<1000; i++){
                TimeUnit.SECONDS.sleep(10);
                String qstr = "new3";
                ReadOnlyKeyValueStore<String, Long> keyValueStore = streamsClient.store(StoreQueryParameters.fromNameAndType(StateStoreName, QueryableStoreTypes.keyValueStore()));
                System.out.println(new Date().getTime()+ " count for "+qstr+":" + keyValueStore.get(qstr));
            }

now producer console enter new3, the interesting log I got:
App1:

streams-wordcount-2p-209b88a2-7f7e-4533-8478-709a01f9ae1e-StreamThread-1 text line splitted [new3]
1666998201324 count for new3:null
1666998211335 count for new3:null

App2 who Not process the word:

1666998204348 count for new3:1
1666998204348 count for new3:1

App1 processed new3 then its state store should has count value, why the count value appears in App2?
in other words, one APP may unable to get its own value from its own local state store, what the idea behind this? does it mean we have to make every state store to be queryable(Interactive Queries)? because it will affect programming model.
please advise, thank you very much!

Dragon Tails 2019 - An article by Tandee Wang
Title: Dragon Tails 2019
Author: Tandee Wang
Bio: Tandee is a PhB (Arts) student who will be undertaking his Honours study with the School of History in 2020.
On 21-23 November, I attended 'Dragon Tails 2019', the sixth Australasian conference on Chinese diaspora history and heritage. This year's conference marked the 10th anniversary since the inaugural Dragon Tails, and it was held at Victoria University, Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand, the first time the conference has been hosted across the Tasman Sea.
My first impression of Dragon Tails was the strong sense of community fostered by the conference. Many people in attendance seemed to have long-standing friendships with each other, took pride in and referenced the number of Dragon Tails they had previously been to, and attended the conference for reasons that were not only academic, but also very personal. Indeed, the sizeable number of presentations from individuals researching their own family histories and sharing their personal stories attested to the strong community-focused nature of this conference.
This was, personally, very relieving for me. Although my own developing research interest in Chinese Australian history has been motivated by own background, I have been nervous about the scholarly implications of conducting academic research with a strong connection to personal experience. My perspective on this has, of course, changed over time, and I am increasingly of the view that personal investment in the topic of academic research can be an important strength that can clarify and strengthen research aims and conclusions. I was encouraged to find in Dragon Tails, therefore, a community of practice where the 'academic' and the 'personal' came together, in a celebration of the stories of Chinese Australian and Chinese New-Zealander people.
My one disappointment with Dragon Tails, however, was that its scope was not larger, reflecting what is still a very small field of Chinese Australian history. Chinese diasporic experiences are extremely diverse, but many of the stories told at Dragon Tails related to one particular experience--that of migrants from Guangdong province in the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries.
These stories are undeniably important. But where does my story, and the stories of many of my Chinese-Australian peers, fit? Many of us grew up second-generation Chinese Australian, and our diaspora journeys began with our parents' migration from many different parts of the People's Republic of China (and beyond), not one region of the Qing Empire. The demographic and political landscape in Australia has also changed dramatically since the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including significant Chinese migration in recent decades, the changing racial politics of a post-White Australia policy nation, and the rise of China. For those who migrated or grew up in the Australia of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, these factors have likely created what are sometimes very different experiences of being Chinese in Australia.
My own Honours topic with the School of History concerns the experiences of Chinese migrants who were able to stay in Australia after Bob Hawke's response to the Tiananmen Square Massacre. But, although this episode is important to understanding the Chinese diaspora's experience in Australia, I found nothing like this research at Dragon Tails. This is largely symptomatic of the broader field of Chinese Australian history, which also has little scholarship about recent Chinese migrations.
Despite this, my experience at Dragon Tails 2019 has made me confident that this research would be warmly welcomed, and I look forward to being able to share it when the Conference next convenes. It was a great privilege to have been able to join Dragon Tails, and I would encourage anyone interested in the Chinese diaspora in Australia and New Zealand to attend and present at subsequent conferences.
My own attendance at Dragon Tails was only possible because of the generous support of my supervisor, Professor Frank Bongiorno, and the School of History, as well as the Student Extracurricular Enrichment Fund (SEEF), administered by PARSA (Postgraduate and Research Students' Association). To them, I owe many thanks.

Q: Use the smallest width qualifier -Android Android documentation Use the Smallest-width Qualifier
states:
res/layout-sw600dp/main_activity.xml   # For 7" tablets (600dp wide and bigger)

600dp: a 7" tablet (600x1024 mdpi).
720dp: a 10" tablet (720x1280 mdpi, 800x1280 mdpi, etc)

meaning that screen widths with 660dp and higher are tablets like. But a phone with lets say only 5.5 inches and 1440x2960 570dpi doesnt mean that it is a tablet.
So how can you distinguish that difference?
Thanks

A:
But a phone with lets say only 5.5 inches and 1440x2960 570dpi doesnt mean that it is a tablet.

Correct.

So how can you distinguish that difference?

Use the smallest-width qualifier.
1440 pixels at 570 dpi = 2.53 inches = 404dp. 404dp is less than 600dp, and so your proposed device would not use -sw600dp resources.

WomenHeart's Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic
By Celina Gorre, CEO | Mar 30, 2020
Every time I turn on the news about the COVID-19 pandemic, I hear about the highest risk groups of older adults and those with pre-existing conditions. And at the top of the list of conditions is heart disease. It was for this reason that our response to the coronavirus at WomenHeart has been swift and decisive. By the time various states started to declare states of emergencies, the WomenHeart team had already transitioned to working remotely and all WomenHeart Champion in-person activities had been suspended.
Yet, the list of unanswered questions grew as quickly as the virus spread. How long will we need to socially distance and remain apart from family and friends? How long will the women with heart disease who attend our WomenHeart support networks need to go without seeing their HeartSisters? How would WomenHeart weather this time of uncertainty, given its financial needs? What could be done for our Champions and the women they serve during this time?
As these questions were being asked, two things became abundantly clear:
WomenHeart Champions and the women they serve need support now more than ever.
It is our duty to determine how to deliver critically needed support during this time of social distancing.
We quickly understood that to support, educate and advocate on behalf of women with heart disease now, WomenHeart would need to scale up its capacity to deliver virtual programs. This includes training Champions to run their support network meetings remotely; launching the SisterMatch app so that women with heart disease can find support more easily and quickly; and communicating regularly, not only through email and social media, but by interacting via webinars to provide expertise and answer questions in real time for the WomenHeart community (watch our March 25th webinar with NHA member Dr. Rachel Bond).
Furthermore, we have had to change our plans for bringing all our stakeholders together for in-person meetings and hosting the annual Wenger Awards dinner on May 18th in Washington, DC. Like organizations around the country, we are working with the information available today to make decisions about when we may be able to once again bring our community together in person and, alternatively, how we can be innovative in bringing people together for learning and community in a virtual way. In any case, our commitment to honoring those who have achieved greatness for women's heart health and to building comradery among our Champions and collaboration among our National Hospital Alliance members remains stronger than ever.
Despite the continued uncertainty, the WomenHeart family has come together to support this programmatic re-engineering. From funders asking what they could do to help, to the developers of our app working at a pace to launch the SisterMatch app ahead of schedule; from WomenHeart Champions signing up to learn how to run virtual support groups, to women heart health experts volunteering their time to share information on a webinar, there is no doubt that we are truly in this together. We are all doing what we can to support, inform and enable women across the U.S. to stay safe and thrive with heart disease in the time of COVID-19.

Fender Precision Bass Model Solid Body Electric Bass Guitar (1963), made in Fullerton, California, serial # 92338, sunburst lacquer finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, period black tolex hard shell case.
This is a lovely solidly pre-CBS Precision Bass, with the look, feel, and sound that defines the classic '60's Fender bass. The features of this particular period include a thin rosewood fingerboard with clay dot inlay, "Spaghetti" silver Fender logo decal, tortoiseshell pattern thick nitrocellulose pickguard and a blended sunburst finish a bit mellower than the "target" sunburst of the later 1960's. The neck and body are finished in the thinner Pre-CBS style lacquer.
The neck heel is stamped 5 JAN 63 C, rather poorly inked but legible on close inspection. The bass was likely assembled in early 1963 -the pots are older coded 62-12 but that is common with Fender instruments of the time. It has seen some moderate use over 50+ years but remains far better preserved than many from this period. It has the classic sound with a bright midrange bark that warms up nicely when the tone knob is rolled off a bit. This is a great example of the world's standard electric bass, still ruler of the roost 50+ years on and ready for the next half-century of low end action. This era Precision Bass is an absolute classic, played by the great majority of the electric bassists of the 1960s and heard on literally thousands of recordings since then. It remains a wonderful instrument for any style of music, an absolute joy to play, and a prime example of the glory days of Fender.
Overall length is 45 3/4 in. (116.2 cm.), 13 in. (33 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 5/8 in. (4.1 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 34 in. (864 mm.). Width of nut is 1 3/4 in. (44 mm.). This bass remains in very fine condition with all original hardware and finish. It has typical light wear with dings and chips to the finish-mostly to the edges-but no large areas of loss to the lacquer. There is a small spot of curly-cord burn to the back and a couple of random screw holes in the lower body horn where it looks like someone attached strap buttons for left handed use at some point. The neck has just been trued and refretted with period style wire and plays excellent. A superb example, not the lightest at 8 LB 13 Oz. but still perfectly balanced and one of the nicest we have had in a long time. It is currently housed in a clean later 1960's "tail logo" Fender case. Excellent Condition.

Virgil Van Dijk savours Liverpool's shot at quadruple after injury struggles
by hesgoaldd
Liverpool defender Virgil Van Dijk admits it would be a dream to win an "almost impossible" quadruple.
However, the influential centre-back is more focused on not taking what has been an incredible campaign so far for granted, having missed so much football with a knee injury last season.
"All this talk about quadruple or treble is coming from the outside world and could put extra pressure on us," he said after Liverpool reached their first FA Cup final under Jurgen Klopp with victory over Manchester United. City.
"Nobody did the quadruple, there's a reason for that, because it's almost impossible to do.
"It's something that everyone would dream of, winning every competition you enter, but we'll see what it brings.
"City is still in pole position in the league, we are facing Villarreal in the Champions League (semi-finals), which is going to be very difficult.
"Anything can happen, with other teams too. We just take it day by day and game by game.
"It's also not something that we take for granted that everyone is fit."
Van Dijk's fitness and form have come under scrutiny since he returned in August after 10 months out following surgery on the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee.

But it has allayed any fears about lingering side effects and will have a key role to play in determining whether they can add to the Carabao Cup they won in February.
"I wasn't a great player in those days, I was quite late, that's why I enjoy my career even more," he added.
"For me, coming back from injury after seeing everything from the bench last year, being in all competitions is still something I won't take for granted.
"I've played almost 50-plus games this season, so that's something I won't take for granted.
"I just want to keep going, stay fit, win games and see what it brings and prepare for the World Cup as well."
The win over City was Liverpool's first victory over them in six games, having played out a pair of 2-2 draws already this season.
But with just a point separating the pair in the Premier League, defender Trent Alexander-Arnold doesn't think it will have much of a psychological effect on the encounter.
"I don't think as a team we need performances that give us confidence," he said.
"We look around the dressing room, we look at the coach and the players we have: it speaks for itself.
"I can only speak for our mentality. Every game we have, we go into wanting to win and expecting to win.
"I don't know what the mentality is like in the City dressing room. In recent years they have shown that they have a strong character and that setbacks do not bother them too much.
"All we can hope for is a team taking points away from him and we're in a position to take advantage of that.
"Hopefully it's not once in a lifetime, but this is obviously the first time we've been in this position and to have the opportunity to win all the trophies in mid-April is exceptional.
"That shows the quality we have in the squad to win games. It's about making sure we continue and keep it going for another month or so."

The Four Square Club will celebrate its 100th anniversary of fellowship and community service on Aug. 19 at 10:30 a.m. at the clubhouse located at 2298 S. Schenley in Youngstown. In 1918, 10 sophomores from South High organized the Four Square Club and asked HK Rayen, Principal of Princeton Junior High, to serve as their adviser. Founders included: Raymond "Curly" Johnson, Dwight "Dike" Beede, Dewitt Nutt, Bertram Pfau, Myron Shull, Al Davies, Jimmy Blair, Galen Renkenberger, Reed Cooper and Owen Jones. Meetings were initially hosted at the YMCA, basement of South Side Dollar Bank, and other locations, until a permanent clubhouse could be built. In 1939 the growing club purchased seven acres on South Schenley and together built the clubhouse pictured below, naming it the HK Rayen Lodge. Community service has been an important aspect of the organization. Four Square has supported the Youngstown Hearing & Speech Center, Camp Fitch and the YSU Football Scholarship Fund.

For the second year, leading innovative researchers and veterinary scientists who are significantly impacting the health and well-being of dogs will be recognised at the Kennel Club Charitable Trust International Canine Health Awards at Crufts 2014.
The largest and most prestigious veterinary awards in Europe, the International Canine Health Awards will highlight those individuals who go that one step further to promote the health and wellbeing of dogs with their revolutionary work in the world of veterinary science.
The worthy winners of this year's coveted awards will be announced on Saturday 8th March 2014 by Chairman of the Kennel Club Charitable Trust, Mike Townsend. The awards to be presented are the International Award and Lifetime Achievement Award and include prize money of £40,000 and £10,000 respectively, generously funded by Vernon and Shirley Hill of the Hill Family Foundation and Metro Bank.
Metro Bank, the revolutionary high street bank which is about to open its 26th store in Epsom, prides itself on putting customers and their needs first, and this includes its innovative 'Dogs Rule' ethos. The bank welcomes customers and their pets into its stores, and supports regular canine friendly events including 'adoptathons' and microchipping. It also waives adoption fees for any customers looking to adopt a pet through Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.
The awards are judged by a panel of influential representatives from the veterinary profession and the world of scientific research. By rewarding and encouraging learning and development, these awards place the Kennel Club on the international stage to recognise partners internationally and at home who are pioneers in improving the health and wellbeing of our four legged friends.
Last year's winners included Dr Elaine Ostrander, Dr Gustavo Aguirre and student, Emily Milodowski, who were nominated by their peers and contemporaries for their innovative work in dog health and developments in veterinary science.
Dr Elaine Ostrander, among the most accomplished genomics researchers in the world, was chosen as the winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award for her pioneering work in regards to developments in both canine health and human diseases. Dr Ostrander received £10,000 as part of her award to help towards future work.
Since winning the award, Dr Ostrander's laboratory has focused on cancer in dogs, making advances in gastric and bladder and histiocytic carcinoma. As a disease that affects so many dogs across breeds, Dr Ostrander and her team have been partnering with collaborators, breed clubs and owners to obtain and analyse samples. This work has highlighted what parts of the genome have gone awry to cause these diseases.
Dr Gustavo Aguirre was awarded the International Prize in Canine Health for his impressive work in the recognition and characterisation of eye diseases in dogs, applying both clinical and genetic solutions. Working alongside Dr Ostrander, he has undertaken ground-breaking research into canine eye diseases which has allowed him to identify the comparative human retinal disease genes and led to the development of treatment for human patients with eyesight defects.
Dr Aguirre received £40,000 as part of his award to help finance ongoing and future projects in relation to retinal disease genes in canines.
Emily Milodowski won the Student Inspiration Award at last year's International Canine Health Awards for her research on the prevalence and distribution of a bacteria called Campylobacter in the canine intestine, which it is hoped will improve human health in the future. Emily was awarded £10,000 for a research project investigating wound healing in dogs.
Emily will be presenting her research findings, alongside her previous research into canine wound infections, as a part of a Clinical Research Abstract at BSAVA Congress 2014 in April. Emily's address will accompany other presentation regarding recent advancements in the veterinary field and further highlights the importance of research in continuing to improve animal and human health.
The winners of this year's awards, who will be unveiled on Saturday 8th March at 12 noon, have been pioneers of ground-breaking work that has the potential to eradicate specific hereditary eye problems as well as improve the treatment of and reduce the risk of damage to the central nervous system in animals and humans.

DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. — The Pennsylvania school administrator who was recorded on camera cursing out two teenage abortion abolitionists last month as they held signs on the public sidewalk has resigned.
Zach Ruff had been on leave from Downingtown STEM Academy since the incident went public, as the Downingtown Area School District decried his behavior as being unacceptable. Ruffs has now admitted his wrong according to a statement from the district.
"In reviewing the video, Dr. Ruff knew that the conduct he displayed was not representative of who he is and was not representative of the kind of educational leader he prided himself on being. Dr. Ruff has acknowledged that the demonstrators had a right to be on a public sidewalk. He acknowledged that his conduct cannot be defended or condoned and he deeply regretted his actions as displayed on the video," it said.
As previously reported, the incident occurred on April 21 as homeschooler Conner Haines, 16, and his sister Lauren, 19, held signs outside the school that bore messages both about preborn babies and salvation in Christ. However, they were soon approached by Ruff, who took issue with the subject matter and became irate.
However, Ruff decided to resign this week in acknowledging his wrongdoing, and the district likewise publicly declared that the teens had a right to engage in free speech on the public sidewalk just as much as anyone else.

[CIVIL WAR-ERA HOLOGRAPHIC NOTEBOOK KEPT BY A UNION NAVAL GUNNER ABOARD THE U.S.S. QUAKER CITY].
Furlong, Joseph:
[Various American ports. ca. 1861]. [106]pp. of lined paper. 12mo. Original limp calf. Minor edge wear, front cover bowed. Pencil notes and drawing of a woman in profile on front endpapers. Minor dust soiling in text, last two leaves removed. Very good. Item #WRCAM49608
An engaging manuscript journal kept by "Joseph Furlong, Acting Gunner, U.S.N.," per his ownership inscription on the first leaf. According to David Dixon's NAVAL HISTORY OF THE CIVIL WAR, Furlong served as the acting gunner on the U.S.S. Quaker City, a heavy sidewheel steamship built in 1854 and leased by the Union Navy at the start of the Civil War. Chartered in 1861 and subsequently purchased by the Navy, the ship was outfitted with a powerful twenty-pound long rifle and assigned to help enforce the Union blockade of the ports of the Confederate States of America. The journal opens with fifteen manuscript pages in pencil listing the "Table of Allowances of Ordnance Stores for 2nd Class Sidewheel Steamer" and other "Miscellaneous" supplies. This is followed by ninety-one manuscript pages in ink titled "Questions and Answers in Naval Gunnery" and consisting of 396 numbered questions and answers ranging from "Q. What is a Gun made of? A. Of Cast Iron Metal" to "Q. What is the charge for a 24 Pdr Howitzer of 1310 lbs? A. 2 lbs." One of the last entries addresses the recipe for gunpowder, here given as fifteen parts nitre, ten parts sulphur, and fifteen parts charcoal. There are no notations or references for the source of these entries, but they read as class notes copied from a standard reference work. It would be another fifty years before the publication of the first BLUEJACKET'S MANUAL, the standard handbook for personnel of the United States Navy. Many sailors at this time were practically illiterate, so the oral traditions and procedures of petty officers were the basis of enlisted sailors' education. Furlong could have gleaned the material from James Harmon Ward's AN ELEMENTARY COURSE OF INSTRUCTION ON ORDNANCE AND GUNNERY: PREPARED FOR THE USE OF THE MIDSHIPMEN AT THE NAVAL SCHOOL (1846). Placed in service only six days after President Lincoln declared a blockade of the Confederate coast, the Quaker City was one of the most active and effective blockaders in the Union Navy, capturing at least ten ships flying the Confederate flag. At various times the ship patrolled the entrance to Chesapeake Bay, Hampton Roads, New York, the Gulf of Mexico, up the Mississippi River, the Bahamas, Key West, Charleston, and more, capturing Confederate ships in every port of call, including Confederate commerce raiders such as the Model, the Lilla, and the Adela. After taking a pounding during its service in the war, the ship was decommissioned in 1865 and sold back to commercial interests. Interestingly, during a trip to Europe in 1867, Mark Twain chose the ship as a setting for his INNOCENTS ABROAD. The Quaker City was later renamed several times and served in the Haitian Navy before sinking off Bermuda in 1871. This manuscript journal is an enthralling read for naval historians, especially of the Civil War era. Naval operations during the war are often overlooked in favor of the famous land battles, but they were no less important in winning the war for the Union. This journal is a firsthand memento of the sailor's life from one of the defining eras in American history.

We shot our first ever Evergreen Wedding last October with the beautiful Alisa and Barrett Sheridan. Career-minded New Yorkers by day, Alisa and Barrett chose to celebrate their love at the pastoral Shakespeare-on-the-Hudson – a cultural center turned wedding venue in Hudson, NY. With a clear view of the Hudson River and rolling green for days, the scenery here was almost as breath-taking as the chemistry between this devoted couple. Congrats Alisa and Barrett!

Mother Charged With Killing 2 Newborn Sons in 2003
The case remained unsolved for 15 years
Published December 5, 2020 • Updated on December 6, 2020 at 4:18 am
After more than 17 years, a Michigan woman has been arrested on two counts of first-degree murder in connection to the deaths of her newborn twin sons.
According to Cook County Sheriff Thomas Dart, Antoinette Briley, 41, was charged Friday night in connection with the 2003 deaths of her newborn twin sons. Briley was taken into custody Thursday during a traffic stop in Oak Lawn.
In the June 2003 incident, a Waste Management employee was emptying trash bins in an alley in unincorporated Stickney Township when she saw two small bodies in the front lift bucket of her garbage truck.
An autopsy revealed that the boys were born alive and had died of asphyxiation, and their deaths were ruled homicides.
The case remained unsolved for 15 years before the Cook County Sheriff's Office reopened the case. Using advances in genetic genealogy, detectives were able to identify the birth mother's DNA, and after detectives traveled to Holland, Michigan and obtained a discarded item containing Briley's DNA, they were able to make a positive match.
This week, authorities learned that Briley was in Cook County and took her into custody after a traffic stop.
She is scheduled to appear in bond court for a hearing on the charges Saturday.

The Structure of Online Role-Playing Games (ORPGs)
Posted on November 7, 2021 by domtoreto88
Games are defined as "any game designed for fun and that may be played either individually or with a group of people." Games are played by using certain number of players or by a single player operating against the others in a multiplayer online game (MMORPG). In today's world, games have become a significant part of life and have become an important source of entertainment, relaxation, and stress-relief. For instance, games such as card games, electronic chess, and video games like World of Warcraft have managed to create a sense of participation, a sense of challenge and a sense of achievement in a very big way.
In recent years, the video game industry has experienced phenomenal growth. As a result, there has been an increasing number of individuals who are choosing to purchase games directly from retail shops and distributors. As a result, many stores are now offering a large number of new releases, all of which are developed by new game developers. Also, many video games are now available in "downloadable" format, through digital download services. This is not a novel idea by any means – rather, this form of release has been utilized by the video game industry for many years. While this expansion of downloadable titles is a relatively new phenomenon, there is no denying that it is a trend that will continue to grow and expand over the coming years.
Another trend that is sweeping the world of the video gaming industry is the adoption of virtual currency. Many MMORPGs use in-game currencies as a way to guarantee that a player will be able to obtain specific items and enhancements without spending real money. For instance, in the massively popular World of Warcraft (WoW) game, all players can use the virtual currency that is called "blizzard cash" to purchase armor, weapons, skills, and other items that are rendered useless in the game through the efforts of Blizzard Entertainment. In this way, WoW allows its players to feel like they are actually acquiring and improving their own personal property without incurring any financial risk or expenditure on their part.
Similarly, many games now have in-game purchases that are carried out using a particular virtual currency. These types of business models have been very successful for many games since they provide a method of allowing multiple players to make in-game purchases that cannot be done with real money. The WoW example mentioned earlier is a perfect example of this. Without the need to carry any real money, WoW players can purchase any number of items, including upgrades and decorations for their characters.
The fourth business model that has taken off recently is known as the Electronic Arts business model, also known as the CD business model. CD ROMs, or digital content such as sound files and images, are being sold in massive quantities to consumers all over the world, often at retail prices. The major appeal of the CD business model is that consumers do not have to buy anything to be able to play the games that require these discs. However, in some cases it has been possible for gamers to download content for these digital content platforms. This has led to increased levels of popularity for computer games, both offline and online.
The final model, known as pay-to-play, has emerged as one of the most popular modes of playing World of Warcraft. In pay-to-play games, you don't need to buy anything to be able to enjoy them. You will simply be charged a fee whenever you participate in an in-game activity. This fee varies by game, but is usually very minimal, roughly two to ten dollars per month. Most of the top games offer a free component to their pay-to-play games, which allows players to acquire more in-game content for little to no cost. These in-game elements can include things like new equipment or items, which can significantly boost the power of your character.
