Q: If $\phi$ is a solution of $\int_{0}^{x} (1-x^2+t^2)\phi(t)dt=\frac{x^2}{2}$ find $\phi(\sqrt 2)$ If $\phi$ is a solution of $$\int_{0}^{x} (1-x^2+t^2)\phi(t)dt=\frac{x^2}{2}$$then find  the value of $\phi(\sqrt 2)$.
Differentiate both side with respect to $x$ (by using Leibniz rule) we have $$\phi(x)=x \implies \phi(\sqrt2)=\sqrt2.$$ But the answer is $\sqrt2 e^2$. Please help me to solve this.

A: You didn't differentiate properly. You have to pay extra attention to the $x$ under the integral, you cannot treat it as a constant: it jumps in front and leads to the product rule.
$$\int_{0}^{x} (1-x^2+t^2)\phi(t)dt=\frac{x^2}{2} \\
\int_{0}^{x} (1-x^2)\phi(t)dt+\int_{0}^{x} t^2\phi(t)dt=\frac{x^2}{2}\\
 (1-x^2)\int_{0}^{x}\phi(t)dt+\int_{0}^{x} t^2\phi(t)dt=\frac{x^2}{2} \\
-2x\int_{0}^{x}\phi(t)dt+(1-x^2)\phi(x)+x^2 \phi(x)=x \\
-2x\int_{0}^{x}\phi(t)dt=x- \phi(x) \\
\int_{0}^{x}\phi(t)dt=-\frac{1}{2}+\frac{ \phi(x)}{2x} \\
\phi(x)=\frac{\phi'(x)x-\phi(x)}{2x^2} \\2x+\frac{1}{x}=\frac{\phi'(x)}{\phi(x)}
$$
Now integrate. Note that by setting $x=0$ in teh fourth equation above you get $$\phi(0)=0$$

Box Office: Will Dhadak Be Able To Cross The Lifetime Collections Of Sairat? VOTE NOW!
Yesterday the makers also unveiled the title track of the film which also has been getting love from every side of the country.
Koimoi.com Team
The buzz around Janhvi Kapoor's debut movie with Ishaan Khatter has been increasing since the release of the Dhadak trailer. It is a remake of the Marathi blockbuster Sairat. The trailer has been loved by the audiences and people are just going crazy over it.
Yesterday the makers also unveiled the title track of the film which also has been getting love from every side of the country. Dhadak is an adaptation of the Marathi blockbuster Sairat. It revolved around the forbidden love between two people from different classes of society – Archana aka Archie, the daughter of an influential local politician, and Prashant, the son of a fisherman. The music of the film also won hearts.
It had earned a total of approximately 100 crores at the worldwide box office. The movie is the highest grosser ever in Marathi Cinema. Now, Dharma production's Dhadak is all set to release on 20th July and the question here is, will it cross the lifetime collections of Sairat?
If this happens this would definitely be one major boom to both the young stars, Ishaan and Janhvi's career just like when Sairat released it made the two lead characters an overnight sensation.

Q: Converting dynamic row into column in linq
  var Getitems = (from u in db.EmailSettings
                        join s in db.SecurityRoles on u.SecurityRoleID equals s.SecurityRoleID
                        group u by new { u.SecurityRoleID,s.SecurityRoleName} into g
                        select new
                        {
                            TransTypeId = (from v in db.EmailSettings
                                           //join s in db.SecurityRoles on v.SecurityRoleID equals s.SecurityRoleID
                                           where v.SecurityRoleID == g.Key.SecurityRoleID

                                           select new
                                           {
                                               //username = s.SecurityRoleName,
                                               trans = v.TransTypeID
                                           }),
                                    SecurityRoleName=g.Key.SecurityRoleName,
                                    SecurityRoleId=g.Key.SecurityRoleID,

                        }).ToList();

For example in    TransTypeId  i  have 3 rows of data .. i want to convert tat to single row like SecurityRoleName ,SecurityRoleId,Row1,row2,row3..
where TransTypeId  can have any no of rows .. do any one help me to get the desired result
i want the result as the above screen

A:  var Getitems = (from u in db.EmailSettings
                    join s in db.SecurityRoles on u.SecurityRoleID equals s.SecurityRoleID
                    group u by new { u.SecurityRoleID,s.SecurityRoleName} into g
                    select new
                    {
                        TransTypeId = (from v in db.EmailSettings
                                       //join s in db.SecurityRoles on v.SecurityRoleID equals s.SecurityRoleID
                                       where v.SecurityRoleID == g.Key.SecurityRoleID

                                       select new
                                       {
                                           //username = s.SecurityRoleName,
                                           trans = v.TransTypeID
                                       }),
                                SecurityRoleName=g.Key.SecurityRoleName,
                                SecurityRoleId=g.Key.SecurityRoleID,

                    }).ToList();

After that you can get the above result by creating a new list in every for each loop by using  transactiontypenames = new List() like below code
List<transactiontypename> transactiontypenames;
        transactiontypename transactiontypenameobj;
        foreach (var x in Getitems)
        {
           transactiontypenames = new List<transactiontypename>();
                objsecurityVM = new SecurityRoleVM();
                objsecurityVM.User = x.SecurityRoleName;
                objsecurityVM.SecurityRoleId = x.SecurityRoleId;

                foreach (var y in x.TransTypeId)
                {
                    transactiontypenameobj = new transactiontypename();
                    transactiontypenameobj.Transtypes = y.trans;
                    transactiontypenames.Add(transactiontypenameobj);
                }
                objsecurityVM.TransTypes = transactiontypenames;

                objlistsecurityroleVM.Add(objsecurityVM);

          }

        objEmailSetting.TableData = objlistsecurityroleVM;
        return View(objEmailSetting);

Hope it will be useful for you

How will you start your work?
I will first develop a place for love in Kathmandu valley. Until the time youngsters get a place to express their love, they will not develop positive thoughts. We don't have a single place for that. As I have to go forward by taking the support from the youth, my first work will be to develop a place for entertainment.
Then there are issues with landless squatters also. I'm not satisfied with the work that has been done regarding them. Currently there are talks of giving NRs. 15 thousand to each, but I will stop that. There is a big plot at the side of Himal Cement Company. They can be moved to that place as 'transit plant'.
Another important task is to clean the rivers. I will also ease the traffic jam problem of the valley within a year after I start working.
What exactly is this authority, as it can do such diverse works, and how is this different from the town development office and the works that it is currently doing?
The authority is intended to carry out planned urbanization of the whole Kathmandu valley by making plans as well as implementing them. Previously one used to make plans regarding urbanization, then the other would implement it and finally some other would monitor that. Due to communication gaps, taking forward any work was really difficult.
Town development used to only look after a single town. But the authority will address the issue of the whole valley and work for its overall development and will not be limited to a single municipality or place.
If the authority will look after the whole Kathmandu valley, then wouldn't that limit the boundaries of the local bodies?
No, it will make the work easier. When we tried to bring the water of Melamchi, different municipalities of the valley came up with different plans and it was difficult. So, now it won't be like that. Not only projects like Melamchi, but even the question of who will run the metro in the valley has now got an answer. There is a provision in the authority that will include all the CDOs, LDOs and other locally elected personnel. Now, all of these people can sit in a room together and take effective actions and it will benefit all.
What experiences did you gain during your tenure in the municipality, will they be helpful now and how?
I didn't have any experience in the municipality. I only had commitment. Till the time I learned things, the time was over. Now, I have understood, so it won't be difficult. The empty period during my life has also filled my brain with a lot of things. I got a chance to learn, how the neighboring cities in various neighboring countries were able to develop. I learned there will be no scarcity of money while developing a town. I have now learned the importance of participation from the private sector. Now, I have got a chance to develop the whole valley.
After the formation of the authority, people are wondering how the road expansion drive will go forward?
The expansion process will continue like it has been going on. State is running it under lots of pressure. Sometimes it says the process has been carried out according to the regulations of 2033, sometimes it says some other thing.
Citizens should be made happy. While expanding the road, people should not feel aggrieved and face problems, rather they should get more benefits. In three months, I will make people to come to the government asking to make the roads wider in their places and it will be just the opposite of the current scenario.

The "Casa Zmeului" via ferrata route was opened in July 2017 near Vadu Crisului, Crisul Repede defile/gorge, in Padurea Craiului Mountains, a subunit of the Apuseni Mountains. The route was built by Salvamont Salvaspeo Bihor, the Romanian mountain rescue unit from Bihor county, with help from CASSIO Montana Bihor club.

All via ferrata routes in Crisul Repede Defile
Map for this route
On the map above, "P" is parking, the red flags mark the start and end of via ferrata, orange route is for access and green route for the return trail.
Access: You start near the sports field in Vadu Crisului village (GPS: 46°58'33.2″N 22°30'27.5″E or 46.975900,22.507648). The shortest route is by following a narrow track alongside the railroad, which crosses the defile. You'll reach a sign saying "Pestera Casa Zmeului", which means "Dragon's House Cave", more or less. Make a left here towards the base of the stone wall and you'll see the via ferrata cable after just a few meters.
(If you continue alongside the railroad, you can reach the other via ferrata route in Vadu Crisului, (B) "Mocanita".)
Length of via ferrata route: 215m. Vertical climb: 140-150m.
Difficulty: C (medium, but with hard sections). Grades are from A (very easy) to E (extreme). Personally, after climbing the route several times, we believe the first part contains a slightly overhanging section harder than C, probably D, making our personal grade of the entire route to be C/D.
This route has more vertical sections than the other via ferrata routes in Bihor ("Mocanita" in Vadu Crisului and Pietrele Negre, Vartop) and it offers good views over "Vama Sarii", another landmark you go past on your way up. The upper section contains a 25m long bridge.
Duration for the via ferrata route: 1h.
Prices: free.
Mandatory gear: alpine helmet, alpine harness, via ferrata set. Optionally, gloves.
Return trail: You have two options to come back to Vadu Crisului village:
Follow the hiking route marked with a blue circle, to the left. It will end close to the sports field where you parked.
Follow the hiking route marked with a blue circle, to the right, to Vadu Crisului Cave and visit this interesting cave. You can then return to your car.

For the Flatbush community, the towering building at the intersection of Flatbush and Empire Blvd has always been a structure of public service. From 1925-1960, it greeted Brooklyn Dodger fans enroute to Ebbets Field with aromas of fresh-baked goods as the Bond Bread Company. In 1997, the building was converted to Phat Albert Warehouse, a retail store that provided discount clothing and home goods to the local community. Phat Albert occupied the building until 2016 when the structure was transformed once again.
The historic building formerly known as Bond Bread Factory and Phat Alberts Warehouse is now home to BKLYN Commons, an inclusive coworking and event space serving the diverse small business and start-up community in Central and Northern Brooklyn. Our Flatbush location encompasses over 120,000 square footage and is home to over 300 small businesses and indoor storefronts. With a members-first motto, BKLYN Commons delivers on its mission in providing entrepreneurs and small business owners access to flexible, community-driven work spaces.

With accessibility, affordability, and community in mind, the previous home of the historic Bond Bread Factory, located above the neighborhood staple, Phat Alberts Warehouse, was transformed into a community-driven coworking space where small businesses come to thrive.
Now, with locations in Prospect Lefferts Gardens/Flatbush and Bushwick/Bed-Stuy, BKLYN Commons is home to over 300 unique small businesses—run by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — MLGW is warning people about a scam that's making its rounds on social media.
Customers called WREG filled with false hope after spotting a post in a Facebook group.
Nancy Crawford, with the Better Business Bureau, says scams like this usually surface during the summer when it's really hot and people are in need for cash and are short on their bills.
"It's called an impostor scam, and they use the name of a reputable company. If people are offering to help you out, people are going to want to take advantage of that.," Crawford said.
The post claims some customers will only have to pay half their bill if the qualify for a special program, because Metropolitan Inter-faith Association, or MIFA, will pay the rest.
"If you see something on social media and it has not come from MLGW, then you want to be very wary of that," Crawford said.
MLGW says it's definitely a scam, but some parts of the post are true.
"We do partner with MIFA for the plus one program. Anyone who benefits must apply in person," the company said.
But Gale Jones Carson says MLGW wouldn't use Facebook to find people in need.
"We don't advertise or promote the program via social media," she said.
MLGW wouldn't, but Crawford says scammers would.
"Unfortunately the crooks are just pocketing the money themselves."
Even with the programs that are legit, customers still have to meet certain requirements.

The challenge: Streamlining fleet data
"The main reason we implemented the Geoforce-Geotab integration is to track vehicle location," says Haseman. "We want to know where our equipment is, where it's been, and how long it's been there. So we're able to not only find all of our vehicles by using the URL on the website, but we have apps that we use to locate those vehicles as well." With the Geotab app, Solaris employees can quickly find a piece of equipment no matter where it is. "It gives a more real-time realistic trips calculation on where trucks have been and how long they've been there," he says. Integration has simplified the process of management. Haseman explains the benefit of centralizing the data: "You don't have a field tech out on location trying to use two or three different apps to look up specific information."For today's fleets, data is the driving force of their operations. Having access to real-time, accurate information is essential to fleet efficiency, safety, and productivity. However, fleets often have access to so much data that making sense of all that information is a challenge in itself. This was exactly the challenge that faced Solaris Oilfield Infrastructure. The Houston-based company with operations in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Pennsylvania, and many more on the way, provides innovative and cost-effective oilfield products, services and infrastructure to enhance drilling, completions, efficiency and safety in North American shale plays. Logistics Coordinator Dan Haseman says, "One of the top challenges for us was to gather all the information we were getting and build that into usable and quantifiable information that could help us make better business decisions," he says. "It's always great to have a bunch of data, but if you don't know what to do with it or how to use it, then it's really irrelevant." Solaris had been using Geoforce asset tracking to track specialized trailers, sand silos, and generators since July 2016, and implemented the Geotab solution in March 2017. Integrating these two solutions has given Haseman better insight into the fleet, particularly vehicle and asset location. Management Simplified with Solution Integration and Mobile Apps
The solution: The power of integration
The integrated Geotab-Geoforce solutions have been a boon of Solaris, solving the challenges of monitoring and measuring fleet operations. For Haseman, the ability to integrate the two solutions was paramount in his decision to add Geotab's solution to his fleet toolbox. Of its 359 powered and non-powered assets, about 85 are currently equipped with the Geotab solution. "It gives a more real-time realistic trips calculation on where trucks have been and how long they've been there." Geotab and Geoforce worked with Solaris to develop customized reporting for idling that is automatically generated. Prior to the customization, Haseman had to create the report from scratch each month. These customized reports show which vehicles idled and for how long and when. With this information, Solaris is able to reduce needless idling in the fleet's trucks, saving money on fuel and maintenance.
The results: Measuring dollars and cents
In addition to instant tracking, which shows current vehicle location and trips and reports how long trucks have been in certain locations, the Geotab/Geoforce combined solution helped Solaris create a truck idling report that could populate automatically. The customized fleet idling report shows:
Haseman reports that the Geotab GO devices have "paid for themselves."
Reducing truck idling leads to significant cost savings
Due to the nature of the work, some operational idling is expected, Haseman says. The fleet team has set a goal of 30% idling down from the initial baseline of 60%.
Based on 40 vehicles the Solaris fleet was using at the start of the implementation, the initial savings per year was about $70,000 for fuel and maintenance.
Haseman says, "You have a certain dollar amount associated with fuel, and then with maintenance, and the overall dollar amount at the end. Let's say it is $200 for fuel and $200 for maintenance at the end of the month. That vehicle is costing you $400 based off of the idle time." Haseman has developed a formula that translates idling percentages into dollars and cents savings. "I was able to create a report in Geoforce that would tell me what trucks were idling for how long based off of the full engine use. And then based on previous white papers and research I did, I was able to integrate some formulas for engine size and typical repair maintenance depicted by how long vehicles were idling for. And what I was able to do with that was get an overall dollar amount associated with how much money we're spending on idling and maintenance repairs from idling," he explains. "It really shows how much fuel the driver has used through idle time, and then the engine size plays into the multiplier for maintenance repairs on average idle time," Haseman says.
Benefits extend from fleet efficiency to safety
The benefits haven't been just to the bottom line. Solaris uses the insights on driving behavior to enhance their corporate safety program. Haseman appreciates all the different safety features of the Geotab solution. "It can monitor seat belt usage, real harsh braking, and vehicle crash recreation. If there is an issue, we can research and find out what happened." If a driver exhibits poor driving habits, Solaris will address the issue and work together to find a corrective action. Tackling speeding also assist with maintenance and fuel costs. In the future, Solaris expects to find further cost savings on fuel by implementing Geotab's fuel tracker and fuel card tracker solutions. Overall, the Geoforce-Geotab solution has saved time and taken the guesswork out of monitoring fleet operations. Fleet data has been turned into a valuable tool that Solaris can use to optimize the efficiency and safety of their innovative fleet.

In vitro shoot multiplication responses of Amelanchier canadensis 'Rainbow Pillar' were studied on media solidifi ed with different gelling agents. The media were gelled either with 6.8 g l-1 fi brous agar-agar, or 50.0 g l-1 wheat starch, or 20.0 g l-1 Guar gum, or 15 g l-1 Isubgol or 50.0 g l-1 wheat starch mixed with 0.5 g l-1 Phytagel. ...Shoot cultures were grown for two months, thereafter the multiplication rates (number of newly developed shoots per explant) were counted and the length of shoots were measured. We found that the highest shoot multiplication of Amelanchier canadensis 'Rainbow Pillar' occurred on media gelled with Guar gum, while the longest shoots developed on media with Starch. About four-fold shoot number were obtained on media with Guar gum compared to the weakest results found on media gelled with Isubgol. Finally, considering all factors (shoot growth parameters, costs) the most economical gelling agent for Amelanchier canadensis 'Rainbow Pillar' was proved to be wheat starch among the tested alternatives which allows a 75.6% cost reduction.

Constitutional Rights During Interrogation
Brendan Dassey has been in prison for the last decade, after being charged with assisting his uncle in raping and murdering a 25 year old photographer who had come to their family property in order to photograph some vehicles at the family's junkyard in order to sell them. The young woman, Teresa Halbach, was presumably found when police discovered human remains with DNA matching hers as well as blood stains throughout her vehicle that was still on the property when she was reported missing. Dassey and his uncle were the subject of a popular Netflix documentary series, titled Making a Murderer, which brought their case into the spotlight.
Dassey, at the time only 16 years old, underwent a three hour interrogation by a number of investigators who violated the law in their line of questioning, while also failing to provide him with his constitutional safeguards. After several hours of questioning, Dassey, eventually implicated himself in the crime, due to the undue influence of police officials convincing him of certain truths. The investigators repeatedly told the young man that they were looking out for his best interests and also to consider what his mother would think, as well as telling him that his mother said he should talk to the police and tell them what happened, all factors influencing his decision making.
A Wisconsin judge ruled in mid-November that the confession was involuntary and overturned the original conviction. Dassey at the time of the interrogation failed to understand and appreciate the severity of the situation, and was not explained what his legal options were throughout the interrogation. It was known that Dassey did not possess the normal intellectual development for another teenager his same age and thus was not able to properly comprehend the officers' line of questioning as well as the repercussions of confessing to something he did not do in order to get out of the situation.
False Confessions
Minors have the same rights as adults do, along with many others when it comes to interrogation by a legal authority. People confess to crimes they did not commit for a number of reasons, including, duress, coercion, mental impairment, fear of harm or due to threats of harm to the person or their family, lack of understanding of the law and their legal rights. Additionally, those under the age of 18 years old do not always possess the ability to understand a situation and fully appreciate it, making them more susceptible to undue influence by a police officer in hopes of pleasing the officer.
Both children and mentally handicapped individuals are taught from a young age that they must obey the law, thus when isolated alone with a police officer, they feel that the officer knows what is best and that they should follow what the officer says in most situations, leading to unreliable confessions. According to the Center for Wrongful Convictions, run by Northwestern Law School, a false confession may be exonerated if an individual made a false statement to authorities that was then treated as a confession, the authorities falsely stated that the individual made a statement when he or she denies the claim, or when a statement is misinterpreted as an admission of guilt when it was not.
The 14th Amendment affords you the right to an interrogation free of coercive questioning by legal authorities. During an interrogation you have the right to plead the 5th Amendment, meaning you have the right to not incriminate yourself in a crime. Upon being detained, the police must read the defendant his or her Miranda rights. Miranda rights are those rights informing a suspect that they have the right (1) to remain silent (2) that anything they say can, and will be held against them in a court of law (3) there is a right to an attorney, and if the defendant cannot afford one, the state will provide an attorney in that situation.
The right to an attorney under the 5th Amendment applies to the custodial interrogation stage, unlike the 6th Amendment right to an attorney. The 5th Amendment allows a suspect to consult an attorney before a custodial interrogation even if they have not been formally charged with a crime.
In 2011, the United States Supreme Court expanded the use of Miranda warnings to children in schools who are the subject of interrogation. One North Carolina middle schooler was pulled from a classroom by an officer and questioned, without the presence of his legal guardian, and was not advised of his legal rights, through the administration of Miranda rights. While he was told he could go free at some point, the undue influence of school officials in telling him to 'do the right thing' was seen by the Supreme Court as an exercise of undue influence. The Court found that the age of a child who is suspect to interrogation is a relevant and important decision making factor for admissibility of a confession. Based on a child's age, they may think they are required to answer police questioning while in school, which is mandatory, and would not know of their ability to remain silent.

Mangaluru, Nov 8: Barke police have received a complaint claiming that a city-based jeweller and his son have been receiving extortion calls in the name of underworld fugitive, Ravi Poojary. The police have registered the case.
Raveendra Shet, the complainant, received one such call at 5 pm on October 30. The caller expressed the desire to speak to his son, Sharath Shet. Later on, calls were received in the cellphone belonging to Sharath Shet at 3.30 pm on November 1, and 4.30 pm on November 5, the complainant sated.
During each of these calls, the jeweller's son was threatened to pay money or face adverse consequences. The person also made calls to the cell phones of all the family members of Shet as well as the land line of the jewellery firm, to repeat demand for payment of money and threatening of dire consequences.
The family is in tension now, Raveendra Shet, said in the complaint, and urged the police to take appropriate action.
Two years of Demonetisation has left business 'cashless' accepts PM Modi's Gujrat. Instead of harassing business people, why don't this gangster Ravi Poojary call BJP politicians who are offering opposition leaders Rs 100 crores each?
Business tycoons often take help of those elements when there is land deal or recovery of huge amount from Debtor at that time they don't think about future problems, But when they keep on harass for money then they will go to Police. there will not be sound if you clap in one hand.
How he got the numbers of all family members that he can call them anytime ?
There are several agents to provide contact numbers of target on commission basis or in return for some money! Often police too advise to pay up and close the matter...reason to believe that they are on payroll.
It may not be difficult for police to check if these callers are actually Ravi Poojary or not since many of his men are in jail and may be some are out on bail. What I heard is, if you give these callers tough reply they get into rat hole!!! Its not easy to exort money with current law and order situation and police intelligence unless they are hand in glove.
The extortionisits target only those who have lots of black money after doing their research; most pay up and keep quiet to avoid sleepless nights!!
Yes Ravi poojary is hi tech bikary.
Coward..doesnt have tge guts to come in front..
Shameless....Ravi poojary... he needs to wear bangles & beg on streets.
Ravi poojary is an fictitious name , those who are in crime circles including police know who is using Ravi poojari name !
Donations to BJP's party fund has grown tremendously with transparent donations while that of Congress has seen an unimaginable downfall.
Readers can understand the relevance of my comment!
Who knows may be thomas called in the name of Ravi Poojary...kya bolte ho gutter ke raja.
Yes, You often drink it in Bombay.


Took apart my icemaker. Left it in pieces and said he would call with estimate. Called me the next day with $650.00 estimate. Bought the part online and fixed it myself. Cost $114.00. These guys are crooks.

› Female family business CEOs' tips for success
Female family business CEOs' tips for success
To celebrate International Women's Day on 8 March, two high achieving KPMG Enterprise clients and female CEOs who have taken over their family businesses – Eliza Brown of All Saints Wine and Elise Gillespie of Bakers Delight Holdings – share how they are thriving at the top.

Diverging paths, similar passions
According to the KPMG Enterprise & FBA 2018 Family Business Survey (to be released in April 2018), 78 percent of today's business owners are male, but the next generation of business leaders are split equally between men and women.
Leading the way are Eliza Brown, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of All Saints Wines in Rutherglen, Victoria, and Elise Gillespie, joint CEO of Bakers Delight Holdings.
Both women exude enthusiasm for their respective industries, and are confidently steering their companies into the future. Here we discuss how they became leaders, and their secrets to success.
Eliza Brown, CEO, All Saints Wine
Adapting fast
When you work in a family business, there are two levels of relationships present: professional and family. Your boss may be related to you, which has its own particular dynamics.
Eliza had been working in a senior role in advertising when in 2001, she decided to return to work with her father, Peter Brown, part of the Brown Brothers wine dynasty, on their All Saints vineyard.
Neither Eliza, nor her siblings, had been pressured into working for the family business, but "the time just felt right".
She fell in love with the Rutherglen countryside, the community and the lifestyle, and set about helping to grow the business, working closely with her father and siblings Angela and Nicholas.
Unexpectedly, Eliza was catapulted into the CEO role in 2005, after her father was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident. She was 32, and remembers feeling how much she had to prove, both because of her youth, and because there were no other women on the Brown Brothers Board.
"The first few years were tough. There was no option to fail. I had to convince family members (many well entrenched in the business) that I was the right candidate, and was prepared to work hard."
Eliza realised she needed drive a more commercial culture for All Saints and made some pretty radical decisions, such as focusing on certain product lines rather than others, and streamlining operations.
"I had to show that I was taking charge and was up to the task."
Eliza's transition was facilitated and supported by KPMG Enterprise Partner in Charge Dom Pelligana and the family business team, who advised on structures and forward planning. Eliza is joined in leadership by Angela, leading Sales and Marketing, Nicholas, General Manager, and her husband who also works in the business.
"We have an extraordinarily close working relationship. We each have different skillsets and integrate fairly seamlessly. We work together and socialise together. I firmly believe that a family that plays together, stays together," she says.
Elise Gillespie, Joint CEO, Bakers Delight Holdings
Overseas experience
For Elise, the transition to CEO began in 2012 when she and her husband David Christie returned to Australia from Canada to work at Bakers Delight in senior roles. After 5 years of integrating into the business, they became joint CEOs in January 2017.
"The fact that we are a husband and wife team was a popular choice," she says. "But Bakers Delight has a very open culture. Many senior executives are women, so there has always been an understanding of the need to work flexibly, to take maternity leave, and gender has never been an issue. Celebrating female talent is an integral part of our business."
Bakers Delight was founded by Elise's parents, Roger and Lesley. In Canada, Elise became Vice President of a Bakers Delight subsidiary, COBS Bread, which she says was an invaluable experience ahead of being a CEO.
"I was able to build my personal credibility based on results over several years," she says.
Eliza and Elise say the keys to leadership in family business are:
Communicate well and take your staff on the journey with you
Seek different views to gain a holistic perspective
Be honest and transparent
Don't be afraid to make tough decisions
Have a solid vision – never stop dreaming
Be a risk taker, particularly in the early stages of your business life cycle
Seek advice from professionals, especially on issues related to family business structure, so you benefit both the business and the family.
As for the next generation of their family businesses, both Eliza and Elise's children are still small. So for now, both female CEOs are putting in strong foundations to ensure their organisations are ready for a thriving future.

NEET candidate alleges ...
NEET candidate alleges manipulation in OMR sheet: HC orders NTA to conduct enquiry
Ernakulam: While considering the allegations of a National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) candidate regarding the manipulation of the OMR sheet, the Kerala High Court has recently directed the National Testing Agency (NTA) to conduct an inquiry regarding the matter.
Further, the bench comprising of Justice N. Nagaresh has directed the NTA, the body responsible for conducting the centralized medical entrance test across India, to submit the report of the investigation before the High Court on or before November 8.
"Accordingly, there shall be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the entire materials that have been placed by the petitioner and conduct an investigation and submit a report before this Court on or before 08.11.2021," noted the bench on Monday.
The petitioner student approached the Court and alleged that after perusing the OMR sheet attached to her application number she found that her signature in the OMR sheet was manipulated and further the names of her parents were also not written by her. In fact, the names written on the OMR sheet are slightly different from the actual ones, it has been alleged in the plea.

Besides, the petitioner also expressed serious doubt regarding the left hand thumb impression seen in the OMR sheet. The student has pointed out that the writings in the OMR sheet is not of the petitioner and the roll number in the numerical doesn't match with the bubbled portion.
Advocate Sri Rajit appeared on the behalf of the petitioner before the High Court bench.
The bench after taking note of the submission made by the petitioner that she has made the allegations in this writ petition with absolute conviction and honesty and after being aware of the consequences arising from making such statements, the HC bench opined that an inquiry in the matter is required.
Thus, the High Court bench directed the National Testing Agency (NTA), the responsible agency for conducting the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) to conduct an investigation into the matter and submit a report as well.
"Accordingly, there shall be a direction to the 2nd respondent to consider the entire materials that have been placed by the petitioner and conduct an investigation and submit a report before this Court on or before 08.11.2021," noted the HC bench in its order.

§ ¶Brute force works a lot better than it used to
I've been playing with pitch shifting again. It's not that I've gotten bored with video, but I do like to write little DSP kernels to affect music that I listen to while coding. I could do the same with video, but I don't think I could get any work done with video playing on the side. Especially if I'm reading subtitles.
As I've said before, pitch shifters (err, pitch scalers) can work either in frequency domain or time domain. Well, after I got the frequency-domain shifter working, I got a better idea for doing a time-domain shifter. The main problem in creating a time-domain shifter is the cross-correlation step, where you find a well-matching segment within a window to overlap with the end of the last segment you used. One way to do this is to try to do some sort of hierarchical approximation to zero in on a good match. Since I had just written a radix-4 FFT/IFFT, I got the idea instead of using FFT convolution to efficiently generate cross-correlation results for all positions without approximation. FFT convolution allows you to compute all possible circular convolutions of one signal with another, and by sufficiently zero-padding the two samples and reversing one of them -- or equivalently, using the conjugate of its frequency representation -- you can do a full cross-correlation search in O(N log N) time, and then scan the resultant array for the best match. And it sort of worked.
I was still hearing some artifacts that made the convolution results suspect, so I decided to double-check the results using a brute force routine. This is trying to search for a match for a block of 512 paired stereo samples in a window of 1024 samples, every 2048 samples, at 44KHz. Amusingly enough, it still ran in real-time... using regular x87 scalar floating-point code, in Debug with optimizations disabled, and with the laptop CPU in low-speed mode. So I just listened to some music for a while, confirmed the difference, dumped the results, fixed the minor bug that was causing the problem, and was back to speedy FFT goodness.
The wonderful thing about audio signal processing is that, even at 44KHz, the data rate is so low compared to video that you can get away with writing a truly awful and unoptimized version of an algorithm, and it still has a fairly decent chance of running full-speed on a modern CPU. A few years ago I might have had to wait for a WAV file to be written out, but now CPUs are so much faster that I can just launch the reference algorithm and compare. Cool.

(Read More) to see my answers to the Win32 programmer brain teasers I posed last time. If you haven't seen the questions yet, you may want to look at the original blog post again before you read the spoilers.
As usual, I might make mistakes, so if you think one of my answers is incorrect, feel free to comment.

§ ¶"If I were king for a day, and I were making a programming test...."
You've probably seen interview tests for programmers before -- stuff like "how do you reverse a linked list," "why are manhole covers round," and "write strlen()." There are good reasons for such questions, even if they've been asked a thousand times before, and amazingly enough, they're still capable of weeding out candidates.
Most of these questions are sissy programming questions, though. I want a real programming test. One that determines if you have truly spent time in the Win32 trenches. One that weeds out all but the real programmers... and makes the rest of the interviewees sweat and cry Uncle.
(This is probably why I don't write tests for a living.)
I've thrown together some questions I think would challenge an average Win32 programmer. It's probably different from what others might consider "guru" questions, but oh well. How many can you answer? I'll post the answers (well, my answers) next time.

§ ¶My updated RPG list
I would give a warning about a self-indulgent post ahead, but that is inherent in the term "blog."
A year ago I posted a list of RPGs that I had played or was playing, and thought I might as well update it. Besides, not like I have a place to keep such a list besides on this blog. So, the list:
Phantasy Star 4 (Genesis)
Final Fantasy IV Easytype (SNES; FF2US)
Final Fantasy IV Hardtype (SNES)
Final Fantasy V (SNES)
Final Fantasy VI (SNES; FF3US)
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (SNES)
Chrono Trigger (SNES)
Secret of Mana 2 (SNES)
Seiken Densetsu 3 (SNES)
Romancing SaGa 3 (SNES)
Magic Knight Rayearth (SNES)
Ranma 1/2 Akanekodan (SNES)
Sailor Moon: Another Story (SNES)
Tenchi Muyo RPG (SNES)
Tales of Phantasia (SNES)
Star Ocean (SNES)
Breath of Fire I (SNES)
Breath of Fire II (SNES and GBA)
Breath of Fire III (PSX)
Final Fantasy VII (PSX)
Final Fantasy VIII (PSX)
Final Fantasy IX (PSX)
Final Fantasy Tactics (PSX)
Final Fantasy X (PS2)
Xenosaga I (PS2)
Xenosaga II (PS2)
Star Ocean: Till the End of Time (PS2)
Treasure of the Rudras (SNES)
La Pucelle Tactics (PS2)
Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2)
Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana (PS2)
The Legend of Dragoon (PSX)
Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2)
Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter (PS2)
Lord of the Rings: The Third Age (PS2)
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance (GBA)
Radiata Stories (PS2)
Atelier Iris 2: The Azoth of Destiny (PS2)
Makai Kingdom (PS2)
Grandia III (PS2)
Legend: Completed since last time, still in progress, started since last time.
Grandia III is a very good game, with a neat battle system. However, it ranks pretty high up in cheese factor with regard to RPG cliches, and it has a lot of the same voice actors as other games. Great, Violetta sounds a lot like Nel Zelpher and I have Ridley Silverlake for a mage....
I'm embarrassed to say that the main reason I haven't finished The Legend of Dragoon is that I can't find the PS1 memory card that has the save game, which was nearly at the end. In fact, up until a few weeks ago I couldn't find my PS1 at all. I think that when I get around to finishing it, though, I'll just play it on an emulator... much faster, and I can transfer my game to and from the real thing if I need to. I love having a DexDrive.
§ ¶Can I have my VC6 project build back, please?
You might have noticed at this point that I spend a lot of time blogging about issues with Visual Studio. The reason is that I spend a lot of time using it -- both in a professional and hobby capacity. When it works well, I work well, and when it doesn't... well, I'm told that I swear a lot and that a Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro is not meant to be used with a fist. I broke a plastic keyboard tray in college that way.
For the most part, I'm fairly pleased with Visual Studio 2005. However, there is one major area that still causes me problems, and that is the build system -- specifically, that it doesn't work like Visual C++ 6.0's. It's a lot better than the one from Visual Studio .NET, but still has the following flaws, IMO:
It builds all of the active projects in the solution, not just the startup project. There's a "build only startup project on run" option, but no "build only startup project on build" option. Creating new sets of solution configurations for each startup project seems needlessly redundant.
It doesn't stop when a build error occurs, so it takes longer to run through unless I happen to see the error scrolling by, and then there's lots of spew from failed dependent projects that had no chance of succeeding.
It sometimes continues linking dependent projects over and over until I wipe the exes/libs and force a clean relink. Seems to be a file timestamp problem somewhere... I thought it was just the .manifest files, which is a known problem, but I disabled those, and it seems the .pdbs are sometimes affected too. In my case, this causes one of the tool .exes to rebuild... which then causes another project to recompile its .fx files using that tool, and then recompile and relink the resultant data arrays... which then causes that static lib to be relinked into the main executable... aaahhhh!
That blog entry I wrote on Visual Basic's Dim command? Well, that arose out of me trying to write a VBA macro for VS2005 to fix the first problem. It's been suggested that SolutionBuild.BuildProject() with the active configuration will accomplish "build startup project," but it fails miserably if you have both x86 and x64 configurations -- seems that both configurations get the same name and BuildProject() can't distinguish them. Argh. It looks like to fix either the first or the second problems properly I'll need to write an Add-In, which I'm reluctant to do because (a) this should be built-in, and (b) I still have bad memories from when I tried to fix FastSolutionBuild, which crashes if you have C# projects in a solution. And I have no idea how to fix the third.
Oh well. It's still a lot better than when I was making makefiles by hand for use with Lattice C++ or Watcom C... really sucked when I got the .h dependencies wrong and files didn't build when they should have.
§ ¶Got MASM?
If you downloaded Visual C++ Express 2005 hoping to do some low-level programming, you might have run into the problem that VCExpress doesn't include an assembler. This is a problem if you need to build someone else's code and you don't want to port it to use another assembler. (Not advisable unless you plan to debug it.)
Browsing some random links, I happened upon an entry in the Visual C++ Team Blog -- which noted that the Microsoft developer division snuck out a freely downloadable goody in the past week:
Microsoft Macro Assembler 8.0 (MASM) Package (x86)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=7A1C9DA0-0510-44A2-B042-7EF370530C64&displaylang=en
This is easier than downloading the Kernel-Mode Driver Framework. The part about it only being for non-commercial use is a bummer, though.

§ ¶Ugly variable definition syntax
In some programming languages, you must declare a variable by use, with a specific type:
ItemList count;
In other languages, you can declare a variable which can hold any type:
var item = document.getElementById('myForm');
In yet other languages, variables can be implicitly declared on use:
logOutput = DoCommand("somestring")
And then... there's Visual Basic.
Dim output As OutputWindow = env.GetOutputWindow()
Yuuuuuck! How do people stand this??
I don't ordinarily write Visual Basic code, but dug in a little bit in order to write a macro to provide the missing BuildStartupProject command that VS2005 still lacks. I'm not opposed to BASIC, but this has got to be the ugliest syntax hack ever, considering that DIM stands for "dimension" (it was originally used to declare sized arrays).

§ ¶Visual Studio 2005 migration guide
I've been meaning to put this together for a while, but only now got around to doing so.
Here is a list of all of the issues I have run into when porting VirtualDub from Visual C++ 6.0 to Visual Studio 2005. Where possible, I have annotated the issues with links to pertinent bug reports in Microsoft Connect (some are mine). A few of these issues are due to bugs that are supposed to be fixed in the upcoming Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1.
When it comes to installing VS2005, expect to need about 2GB of space. I have VC++ with x64 support installed (~950MB) and most of MSDN (~800MB). I still have VC6 and VS2003 installed side-by-side with no apparent conflicts.
At this point, I've basically stopped using Visual C++ 6.0 except to maintain VirtualDub 1.6.x, as VS2005 is good enough to replace it for 1.7.x and for all the little random projects that I do on the side. Well, that, and I've become addicted to F12 (Go to Definition) and to opening files by filename (Ctrl+D, >open filename).
§ ¶x87/MMX code on x64 applications in Windows
There seems to be some confusion about whether legacy x87/MMX registers and instructions can be used in 64-bit code that runs on the x64 Edition of Windows. Part of the reason for this confusion is due to some early x64 ABI documentation that was published in the Windows Driver Development Kit (DDK):
The MMX and floating-point stack registers (MM0-MM7/ST0-ST7) are volatile. That is, these legacy floating-point stack registers do not have their state preserved across context switches.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/Kernel_d/hh/Kernel_d/64bitAMD_128662cf-fa29-443b-a61e-d9576e48c7f4.xml.asp?frame=true
This statement led many to believe (including me) that x87/MMX code could not be used at all in x64 applications, despite it being supported by the CPU in long mode, and even on other operating systems, i.e. Linux. This didn't make sense, given that FXSAVE and FXRSTOR push those registers along with the SSE registers. Empirical testing, however, confirmed that the registers are saved and restored in user mode, and using them seemed to incur no ill effects. Fortunately, this was later cleared up by the SWConventions.doc file in recent Platform SDKs, and finally made official in the x64 calling conventions documentation that shipped with Visual Studio 2005:
The MMX and floating-point stack registers (MM0-MM7/ST0-ST7) are preserved across context switches. There is no explicit calling convention for these registers. The use of these registers is strictly prohibited in kernel mode code.
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/a32tsf7t(VS.80).aspx
At this point, I believe there is no harm in using x87 or MMX code on x64. It is annoying to do so, since the compiler neither supports inline assembly nor MMX intrinsics, and so you have to use ML64 and explicit assembly, but it will work. Now, whether you should is a different question. There are some constructs that don't necessarily translate well from MMX to SSE2, and I don't see it as a given that code will run faster when rewritten to use the latter, at least without major redesign. Adapting legacy code is also not trivial since you have to rewrite it for 64-bit pointers and to have the correct function prologues and epilogues. At least, though, it does seem that you have a choice.
§ ¶Beware of QueryPerformanceCounter()
When it comes to high-precision timing on Windows, many have gotten used to using the CPU's time stamp counter (TSC). The time stamp counter is a 64-bit counter that was added to most x86 CPUs starting around the Pentium era, and which counts up at the clock rate of the CPU. The TSC is generally readable via the RDTSC instruction from user mode, making it the fastest, easiest, and most precise time base available on modern machines.
Alas, it is rather unsafe to use.
The first problem you quickly run into is that there is no easy way to accurately and reliably determine the clock speed of the CPU, short of perhaps doing calibration over a longish period of time. Sometimes you don't need super accuracy or only need to deal with timing ratios, in which this doesn't matter. However, you're still screwed when you discover that on CPUs with speed switching, the speed at which the TSC counts will change when the CPU speeds up or slows down, which makes the TSC's rate swing all over the place. And if this weren't enough, the TSC is not always synchronized on dual-core or SMP systems, meaning that the reading from the TSC will jump back and forth by as much as 0.2ms as the kernel moves your thread back and forth across the CPUs. Programs which do not have adequate safety protection may be surprised when time momentarily runs backwards.
For reasons like these, Microsoft now recommends that you use QueryPerformanceCounter() to do high-precision timing. What they don't tell you, though, is that QPC() is equally broken.
The documentation for QueryPerformanceFrequency() says that not all systems have a high-performance counter. Truth be told, I've never seen a system that didn't support QPF/QPC, including ones running Windows 98, NT4, and XP. However, the timer that is used can vary widely between systems. On Win9x systems that I've seen, QPF() returns 1193181 -- which looks suspiciously like the clock rate of the venerable 8253/8254 timer. On a PIII-based Windows 2000 system, I got 3549545, which happens to be the frequency of the NTSC color subcarrier, but is probably just a factor of a common clock crystal used by some chipset timer. And I've also seen the CPU clock speed show up, or CPU clock divided by 3.
Some of these timers used for QPC also have bugs.
When I was looking at some anomalous capture logs from one of my systems, I noticed that the global_clock values from the capture subsystem, which were recorded in the capture log, occasionally jumped forward or backward by a few seconds compared to the video capture clock. (While video capture drivers are notoriously flaky, there were no gaps in the video and I'm pretty sure my PlayStation 2 didn't burp for three seconds.) When I tried Windows XP x64 Edition, the HAL used the CPU TSC for QueryPerformanceCounter() without realizing that Cool & Quiet would cause it to run at half normal speed. And recently, I've had the pleasure of seeing a dual-core system where use of the TSC exposed QPC-based programs to the same CPU-mismatch bug that RDTSC incurred. So, realistically, using QPC() actually exposes you to all of the existing problems of the time stamp counter AND some other bugs.
So, what to do?
I switched VirtualDub's capture subsystem from QueryPerformanceCounter() to timeGetTime(). I had to give up microsecond precision for only millisecond, but it's more reliable. If you don't really need high precision, you can use GetTickCount(), which has terrible precision on Win9x (55ms), but it's reliable, and it's fast, since it just reads a counter in memory. If you're a user suffering from this problem, you can try fixing the problem by adding /usepmtimer to the end of the boot.ini entry, which switches QPC() to use an alternate timer (usual disclaimers apply; back up data before trying; no purchase necessary; void where prohibited).
§ ¶How to kill Aero Glass on Vista beta 2 with DirectDraw
I figured out why VirtualDub causes Aero Glass to go nuts on Vista beta 2, and the actual reason turned out to be rather bizarre. Had nothing to do with window hierarchy layout.
Aero Glass uses the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) to composite the display, so certain drawing operations from programs that the DWM can't emulate will cause the DWM to disable composition until the program exits. Typical operations that kill the DWM are those that access the full display or those that appear to do so (that the operation is limited to a window can't be determined). Well, I'm not locking the backbuffer or doing anything naughty, but it turns out this was what was disabling the DWM:
// get surface desc
if (FAILED(mpddsPrimary->GetSurfaceDesc(&ddsdPri))) {
DEBUG_LOG("VideoDriver/DDraw: Couldn't get primary descn");
Merely calling GetSurfaceDesc() on the primary surface causes the DWM to disable itself. Changing this to use GetDisplayMode() fixed the problem, and it turns out that even good old DirectDraw 3 will work just fine with Aero Glass as long as you use a clipper when you blit to the primary. If you don't use a clipper, bye bye DWM.
Another oddity of beta 2 is that it seems you can create a DirectDraw overlay surface, but it never shows up and you see nice color key green instead. It's not a problem with the color key, because I can disable it and I still won't see an overlay. Sigh.


Data replication is required to improve operational decision making and to reduce down time.
It means, allows organizations to share data on different systems, in heterogenous environment by replicating data between different hardware platforms and different sources without compromising data integrity.
Informatica consumes very little resources without compromising performance of source databases.

El meridiano de Cádiz, también denominado meridiano Cero, rigió toda la cartografía española desde 1753 hasta el año 1884, cuando una conferencia internacional celebrada en Washington estableció como primer meridiano universal el de Greenwich. Dicho meridiano se instauró en 1753 gracias a la creación del Observatorio Astronómico de la Marina, que se ubicaba en la desaparecida torre del homenaje del Castillo de la Villa en Cádiz. El traslado a San Fernando del observatorio de Jorge Juan, obra que se termina en 1798, obliga a un pequeño cambio de meridiano: desde 1801 el meridiano de referencia para los buques españoles será el de San Fernando.

La distancia del meridiano de Cádiz con el de Greenwich es de 6º 17' 15'' O.

Q: Add div around all text in knitr I am trying to add the following div and class to an entire Rmd file in knitr:

I have created the container class using css as follows:
.container {
    box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px #888888;
    width: 70%;
    margin: 15em auto 5em;
    margin-bottom:-9em;
    margin-top:5em;
    background: #FFF;
}
.container p {
    padding-left: 14%;
    padding-right: 10%;
    text-indent : 1.25cm;
}
body {
   background: #efefef;
}

I would normally use a style.css to add this but for the MWE we'll put it in the main document body of the MW Rmd file at the end.  I wrapped the entire document with the div of class container and get this output HERE.  Notice the header # Hello World isn't processed as a header?  Nothing within the div tags are processed as html.  I can fix this by running knitr without the div container and then adding it later as seen here: (The HTML and The Rmd).
How can I add the div tags to the Rmd file directly?

# Hello World
```{r setup, include=FALSE}
opts_chunk$set(cache=FALSE)
library(knitr); library(knitcitations);
```

A: Use a custom template to wrap the Rmd in a

<!DOCTYPE html>

        <title>#!title#</title>

        #!html_output#

Then call the template when kniting
knit2html('document.Rmd', template='template.html', title='Page title')

This way you can also add a custom style.css to the template

Q: free() invalid pointer - freeing array of pointers fails I have been debugging a piece of legacy code, running on an XScale (arm v5te) System with linux, that crashes reproducible.
I have debugged using gdb and set MALLOC_CHECK_ to 1. It's a lot of code, so just some snippets:
We have this structure:
typedef struct {
...clipped..
    char **data_column_list;
    /** data column count */
    int data_column_cnt;
...clipped
} csv_t;

We initialize the columns in a function, putting them in a variable "columns"
/* Allocating memory for pointer to every register id */
columns = (char **) malloc(column_cnt * sizeof(char *));

column_cnt = 0;
/* loop over all sensors */
for(i=0; i<cfg.sen_cnt; i++) {
    /* loop over all registers */
    for(j=0; j<cfg.sen_list[i]->data_cnt; j++) {
        /* Storing all the pointers to id */
        columns[column_cnt++] = cfg.sen_list[i]->data_list[j]->id;
    }
}

In another function, what happens is this:
/* free the previous list */
csv_free(lc_csv);

lc_csv->data_column_list = columns;
lc_csv->data_column_cnt = column_cnt;

csv_free being:
void csv_free(csv_t *csv) {
    if(csv->data_column_cnt > 0)
        free(csv->data_column_list);

    csv->data_column_cnt = 0;
}

Now, there is another function, building the whole "cfg"/config structure, that contains these ids.
Code frome above: cfg.sen_list[i]->data_list[j]->id; where cfg is a struct, sen_list is an array of pointers to structs, data_list is an array of pointers to other structs, that contain a string "id".
Whe the program gets a signal SIGUSR1, the config is being updated. All of these data_list and sen_list structs are being freed, then new ones are generated.
Then with the first function, new collumns of ids are generated and put into the csv structure, but the old list is being freed before.
Thats where it crashes. In csv_free.
*** glibc detected *** /root/elv: free(): invalid pointer: 0x0001ae88 ***

I thought it should be like this. You have an array of pointers. When you free the pointers, you have to free the pointer, pointing to a set of pointers (the array).
Or put in code terms, the above situation should be analog to:
char **ar = malloc(n * sizeof(char *));
char *xn = malloc(10 * sizeof(char)); // Do for 0 to n strings
...
ar[n] = xn; // Do for 0 to n strings
...do stuff...
free(xn); // Do for 0 to n strings
free(ar);

When the structs, containing the id strings, are freed, I still have my pointer arrays with (invalid) pointers, not null pointers:
(gdb) p csv
$40 = {sysid = 222, ip = '\0' <repeats 49 times>,
    module = "elv_v2", '\0' <repeats 14 times>, format_type = 1, msg_id = 0,
    data_column_list = 0x1ae88, data_column_cnt = 10, pub_int = 30,
    line_cnt = 0, pub_seq = -1, format = 0x18260}
(gdb) p csv.data_column_list[0]
$41 = 0x1b378 "0"

But I get the above error message (or SIGABRT without the MALLOC_CHECK_).
I don't understand this at all. I have to free this array of pointers, or it will become a memory leak. There is no other call of free before that, that I could find. I don't know why csv.data_column_list is considered an invalid pointer.
Valgrind is unfortunately not availiable on arm v5te :(
Have been debugging this for hours and hours and would be happy for any help.
Thank you very much,
Cheers,
Ben
UPDATE:
I'm wondering if it could be connected to some "scope" issue. There is almost identical code in another application, which works. The function which crashes, "csv_free" is used by both programs (statically linked). The only difference is, that the struct containing the pointer to be freed is declared and defined normally in the working program and declared as external and defined in another file than main.c
Calling "free" manually in main.c works, while calling "csv_free" crashes. Riddle me this...

A: 9 out of 10 times when I run into free() errors the problem actually started in the allocation or initialization, so let's verify that a bit:

*

*Where do you actually assign columns to csv.data_columns_list before you call csv_free? If it's uninitialized when you free(), that would explain the error.

*In the second code block, if the initial column_cnt (which I guess is set
elsewhere?) is less than the column_cnt after the loop you would be writing outside the
array. One would hope MALLOC_CHECK_ would catch that, but what happens if you assert as
follows:
/* Allocating memory for pointer to every register id */
columns = (char **) malloc(column_cnt * sizeof(char *));

int old_column_cnt = column_cnt;
column_cnt = 0;
/* loop over all sensors */
for(i=0; i<cfg.sen_cnt; i++) {
    /* loop over all registers */
    for(j=0; j<cfg.sen_list[i]->data_cnt; j++) {
        /* Storing all the pointers to id */
        columns[column_cnt++] = cfg.sen_list[i]->data_list[j]->id;
    }
}
assert(old_column_cnt >= column_cnt);

A: Looking over my old questions I saw this. I can't really verify, since I don't work at that company anymore, but thinking of other issues we had, I think wildplasser was right.
Calling any large functions from within signal handlers is a bad idea. Especially if you haven't check whether everything you do is reentrant. It was legacy code, so at least it's not completely my fault ;)
Nowadays I would set a flag in the signal handler and call the routine in my main loop, when that flag is set (or something like that).

I said the New Covenant applies to non-Jews the same way the Abrahamic does: some specific provisions are Israel-specific (land, great nation, bless those who bless you) while the blessings of the covenant are for "all the families of the earth" and "all nations." Even before the New Covenant was initiated in Messiah's death (initiated but not fully enacted) non-Jews were invited to God's blessings in countless Psalms and prophetic passages and in the general invitation to wisdom.
Non-Jews are to read in Israel's Torah and prophets and writings and find wisdom and righteousness. There is not a separate covenant. It is the covenant with Israel to be read along with Israel.
I bet that's not something you read in the blogosphere everyday.
I was used to thinking that Christianity had a separate and wholly contained covenant that connected the non-Jewish disciples of the Jewish Messiah to God. I couldn't have been more mistaken. No wonder I couldn't find a "discrete container" for this covenant anywhere in the Bible.
But what then? Are we Christians all existing inside an illusion? Did God never really intend for us to have a relationship with Him? I have to answer "no," otherwise what was the whole point of Paul's mission to the nations or Christ's last command to his Jewish disciples in Matthew 28:18-20?
A covenant (Hebrew berith, Greek diatheke) is a legal agreement between two or more parties. The word "covenant(s)" occurs 284 times in the Old Testament (as found in the New American Standard Bible). "Covenant(s)" occurs 37 times in the New Testament, which gives a total of 321 occurances (sic).
That's probably not the best definition in existence, but it works.
Me: However, one of my problems is being able to point at the Bible and say "such and thus" chapter and verse is where you'll find the "covenant with the Gentiles." From what you said (and this is probably where my problem comes in), there is no central location for the "Gentile Messianic covenant." It's really a ratification of the previous covenants that allows the nations to partake within certain constraints. Correct?
I was recently criticized when I suggested that, to define the covenant that attaches the non-Jewish people to God, I'd have to do an inventory of different parts of the Bible. As it turns out, I was on the right track, but not quite right enough. We Gentile Christians are not attached to the God of Israel through Jesus Christ by a covenant that is specifically made with the nations. Instead, we receive blessings from already existing covenants that God made with the Jewish people.
No, but this is the part that requires some work to discover.
There are three covenants that seem to apply: The Abrahamic covenant, the Mosaic covenant, and the New Covenant.
I'm borrowing heavily from Derek's Covenants video here. Also, keep in mind, this information is really a summary. There's a lot more detail that can be gleaned from a deeper look into each of these covenants.
This is the covenant that God made with Abraham. You'll find the announcement of the covenant in Genesis 12, the enactment of the covenant is in Genesis 15, and the sign of the covenant, which is circumcision, in Genesis 17. Derek explains that circumcision isn't a requirement for the covenant to continue, but it is a requirement for Abraham's descendants, through Isaac and Jacob specifically, to participate in the covenant. It is vitally important to recognize that the people of the Abrahamic covenant are Abraham's descendants through Jacob, that is, the Jewish people.
Some parts of that covenant are only for the Jewish people, specifically the land, that Israel will be made into a great nation, that Abraham's name will be made great, that those who curse you (Abraham and his descendants through Jacob) will be cursed, those who bless you will be blessed.
However, there are parts of the covenant that are not limited to the Jewish people. There are blessings in the Abrahamic covenant that are intended for the righteous of the nations; blessings for all the families of the earth through Israel. God's blessing comes to Christians through Israel in that Israel gave Christians the Bible and the Messiah, and Israel will be the center of Jesus' return and where he will establish his kingdom on earth.
This is the covenant that God made specifically with the Children of Jacob through Moses at Sinai, and the conditions of the Sinai covenant between God and Israel were given as the Torah. The sign of the covenant is the Sabbath.
Like the Abrahamic covenant, the people of the Mosaic covenant are the Jewish people. However, unlike the Abrahamic covenant, the Mosaic covenant contains no blessings for the nations. The Mosaic covenant of Sinai is applied only to the Jewish people. This means the keeping of the Sabbaths, including the weekly Sabbath and all of the Festivals, are specifically covenant signs between God and the Jews.
The New Covenant can be found in both Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 36 however, according to Derek, this is not a New Covenant made with the Christian church. The people of the covenant, just like the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, are the Jewish people.
But is that it? No, for like the Abrahamic covenant, although the people of the covenant are the Jewish people, there are blessings in the New Covenant that include all the nations of the world. These blessings are from God but they go through Israel to the nations. In fact, the blessings go from God, through Israel and specifically through Israel's "first-born son," the Messiah, Jesus, who we in the church call, "the Christ," and then to us, everyone, anyone who comes to faith in God for the sake of Jesus, all the blessings through the Son of David.
This is only the foundation of my search for the "Jesus Covenant." Obviously it doesn't answer all the questions about how what is being said here connects further on down the road to the coming of the Messiah and the gathering of the people of the nations into the blessings I've (or rather, that Derek has) mentioned.
But it's a start. I'm probably not the only Christian who hasn't really explored the connections in the covenant blessings that bind us to God, so I hope a few others reading this will benefit. I don't know if I can produce a second part of this series immediately. I'll probably end up doing some reading and the High Holy Days are very near now. I trust that you'll be patient. Of course, if those of you, like Derek, who are learned in such matters, choose to contribute to my "knowledge base," either through email or by commenting here, I wouldn't object.
To continue with this series, join me for Part 2 of The Jesus Covenant.
Previous PostThe Equality Puzzle, Part 3Next PostRosh Hashanah: Are We Ready To Approach God?
I am not trying to poke at you, but you have said before that you were part of One Law for what 10 years? But at the same time I think it is safe to say now, that you never actually understood One Law and still do not, by your own admission of not understanding the covenants.
I read what you wrote and it is good you are considering this, as it is the beginning to understanding your place in God's covenants, especially as a gentile.
I remember when I first realized that the New Covenant didn't apply directly to me, and was made only with Israel.
At first I was slightly upset because I felt I had been told a lie; why follow Jesus if He didn't even come for me, but only for His own? If the New Covenant is still only between G-d and Israel, what purpose is there for me to follow this, as a Gentile?
But my feelings of displacement were short lived; as I started to realize that I was still following the Light of the World, just in a different way.
I realized that, even though I wasn't Jewish, Jesus is still G-d's Anointed, the Firstborn of creation, the One whom through all will come to know The Father. So there was still much importance for me to follow Him, but it was now in a different light.
I realized He was still Lord, but I realized my relationship with Him was now changing.
But you know what? For me, it has all been for the better. I now feel /more/ grateful and /more/ humble that I am a Gentile who has been given the chance to follow G-d's Chosen, Jesus the Messiah.
As I have found in my walk with Yeshua, the more I come to understand Him and who He really was, the easier it is for me to accept Him, and the greater the conviction becomes for me to follow Him, always.
Thanks, Nate. I appreciate your comments and your perspective. I think a lot of people (obviously including me) miss this. I don't remember anyone saying anything like this in church or in any Messianic congregation I ever attended or visited. On the other hand, when Jesus said, "For God so loved the world…", we need to realize the enormous sacrifice involved in bringing the "lost sheep of the nations" into the fold, so to speak. God *could* have just kept to His covenant with Israel and let the rest of the world hang, but it was always His intention to bring everyone to Him through His Son, our Savior, the Moshiach, so that we too could receive the blessing of having a relationship with our Creator.
Exactly; He is for all, ultimately.
I think Tim Hegg has a lot to offer concerning covenant relationship. I recommend people address his content at Torah Resource go to English Articles, he also does an assessment on Divine Invitation, and it also deals with many of these same questions concerning Gentile relationship to the covenants.
I've met Tim Hegg more than once. I've worshiped with his congregation and celebrated Erev Shabbat in his home. I've met his family and they are all very good, nice, and gracious people. I haven't had any contact with him or his group for quite awhile, so I imagine we have less in common now than we did at one time. In the name of fairness, I'll accept the link you've posted to his site (it was broken but I went ahead and fixed it) in the above comment Zion, but I think it should be stated that I can't agree with his One Torah stance.
The ancient and sometimes obscure writings of the bible zoom into focus as I see that I, a believing Gentile, am a living fulfillment of scripture!
Additionally, although the Jewish people (decendants of Jacob) are ALL His chosen people, a beliving gentile like myself am specifically chosen meaning, He didn't choose my WHOLE people (English/Irish/Scottish), nor did He even choose ALL of my family, but He did choose me.
I agree. Change is hard. A series of events, including my wife beginning to worship with the Chabad, made me question my basic assumptions and I struggled for a long time in the dissonance between my original perceptions and watching her grow as a Jew. Naturally I created a blog to chronicle my journey. Ultimately, I got to the other side of the tunnel but the journey never really ends. We spend all our lives exploring ourselves, our faith, and our God. This is just another step.

You promote a new domain controller into the forest by using the Active Directory Installation Wizard (Dcpromo.exe).
Existing domain controllers replicate from source domain controllers that are connected over slow network links.
The default value for the RPC Replication Timeout (mins) registry setting on Windows 2000-based computers is 45 minutes. The default value for the RPC Replication Timeout (mins) registry setting on Windows Server 2003-based computers is 5 minutes. When you upgrade the operating system from Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2003, the value for the RPC Replication Timeout (mins) registry setting is changed from 45 minutes to 5 minutes. If a destination domain controller that is performing RPC-based replication does not receive the requested replication package within the time that the RPC Replication Timeout (mins) registry setting specifies, the destination domain controller ends the RPC connection with the non-responsive source domain controller and logs a Warning event.
Low bandwidth or network packets drops between source and destination domain controllers.
