Interstate 22 (I-22) is a  Interstate Highway in the US states of Mississippi and Alabama, connecting I-269 near Byhalia, Mississippi, to I-65 near Birmingham, Alabama. I-22 is also Corridor X of the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS). Designated in 2012, I-22 follows the route of older US Route 78 (US 78) and is concurrent with the route for all but its eastern most . The freeway mainly spans rural areas and passes numerous small towns along its route, including Fulton, Tupelo, New Albany, and Holly Springs in Mississippi and Jasper, Winfield, and Hamilton in Alabama.

I-22 was upgraded to Interstate Highway standards to close a gap in the Interstate Highway System, allowing for more direct connections between cities in the southeast with cities in the central part of the country. I-22 indirectly connects I-240, I-40, I-55, and I-69 in the Memphis metropolitan area via US 78 and I-269 with I-65, I-459, I-20, and I-59 in the Birmingham metropolitan area.

I-22 serves as a connection between Birmingham and suburban Memphis, filling in a gap in the Interstate Highway System. It also fills a gap that provides freeway passage between Atlanta and Oklahoma City. It begins at an interchange with I-269 at Byhalia, Mississippi, approximately  from downtown Memphis and travels southeast across northern Mississippi and Alabama, before ending at an interchange with I-65 approximately  north of downtown Birmingham, Alabama.

Mississippi

I-22 begins at a cloverleaf interchange with I-269 just west of Byhalia in DeSoto County northwestern Mississippi in the far southeastern suburbs of Memphis. It is concurrent with US 78, which is a four-lane freeway through its entire length in Mississippi and the exit numbers for its overlap with I-22 remain based on its mileage. I-22/US 78 then continues southeastward into Marshall County parallel to Mississippi Highway 178 (MS 178; the former alignment of US 78) with latter route providing local access to small towns along the route. The first major community the freeway passes is Holly Springs, the county seat of Marshall County. I-22/US 78 bypasses the city to the southwest; exits 26 (Landfill Road) and 30 (MS 4/MS 7) provide access to the city. Continuing southeastward, the freeway than passes through the Holly Springs National Forest and into Benton County passing near several small towns that are accessible through interchanges with or connecting to MS 178. Upon exiting the forest into Union County, I-22/US 78 approaches the county seat of New Albany before passing just southwest of it with four exits (60, 61, 63, and 64) providing direct access to the city. MS 30 shares a brief concurrency with I-22/US 78 between exits 61 and 64 with the latter exit being at MS 15. To the southeast of the city near the town of Sherman in Pontotoc County, I-22/US 78 has a second brief concurrency with MS 9 starting between the exits 73 and 76. Exit 73 is a six-ramp partial cloverleaf interchange, the first non-diamond interchange on the freeway since its starting point at I-269, a distance of about . I-22/US 78 then enters Lee County and passes north of Tupelo, its county seat, with five exits (81, 82, 85, 86, and 87) connecting to the city, including an interchange with MS 178 (exit 81) northwest of Tupelo along with interchanges with the Natchez Trace Parkway (exit 85) and US 45/Corridor V (exit 86) north of the city with Corridor V becoming concurrent with I-22/US 78. The freeway then turns eastward and has an interchange with MS 371 north of Mooreville before crossing into Itawamba County. I-22/US 78/Corridor V then has an interchange with MS 178 (to MS 363) in Peppertown before crossing the Tennessee–Tombigbee Waterway to its next interchange with South Adams Street (exit 104), which provides access to the community of Fulton, the county seat. MS 25 becomes concurrent with I-22/US 78/Corridor V and heads eastward along the route at the exit as well. A weigh station is also just beyond the exit. One exit later (108), MS 25 and Corridor V branch off and head northward. I-22/US 78 then turns east-southeastward with one final interchange (exit 113) with MS 23 south of Tremont before crossing into Alabama.

Alabama

Still a four-lane freeway, I-22/US 78 (internally designated as AL 4) enters into northwestern Alabama northwest of Bexar in Marion County and heads east-southeastward. It first interchange (exit 3) is located just east of town at County Road 33. I-22/US 78/SR 4's next four exits (7, 11, 14, and 16) serve the city of Hamilton, the county seat. The freeway curls around the southwest side of the city. Exit 7 gives I-22/US 78/SR 4 access to SR 19 and SR 74, exit 11 is an interchange with AL 17 and exit 16 is an interchange with US 43/US 278/SR 171. The final exit also provides access to the community of Guin. I-22/US 78 then passes south of Brilliant which is accessible by interchanges with SR 44 (exit 26, which also serves the town of Twin and the city of Guin) and SR 129 (exit 30, which also serves the community of Winfield). An interchange with SR 233 (exit 34) serves the community of Glen Allen before I-22/US 78/SR 4 crosses into Walker County. Its next interchange, SR 13 (exit 39), serves the communities of Eldridge and Natural Bridge. Carbon Hill is served by County Road 11 (exit 46, which also serves Nauvoo) and SR 118 (exit 52; former Alternate US 78). I-22/US 78/SR 4 then widens to six lanes and has an unsigned interchange (exit 53) with future SR 102. I-22/US 78/SR 4 then passes just south of Jasper, the county seat, which is served by four exits (57, 61, 63, and 65) with SR 118, SR 69, SR 269, and Industrial Parkway. The freeway narrows to four lanes at exit 57, but expands back to six lanes at exit 63. The next three exits (70, 72, and 78) serve Cordova, Parrish, Dora, Sumiton, Wyatt, and Quinton. I-22/US 78/SR 4 then enters Jefferson County and has an interchange with County Road 45 (exit 81), which serves West Jefferson. Its next interchange is with SR 5 (exit 85); the exit marks the end of the concurrency with US 78/SR 4 which branches off and becomes concurrent with SR 5 south, which serves as a local road for Graysville and the northwestern suburbs of Birmingham. Between exit 85 and 87 (CR 112) is the future site of the interchange with I-222 (exit 86), which would connect I-22 to the proposed I-422 (Corridor X-1/Birmingham Northern Beltline). I-22 than passes through Coalburg before ending at an interchange with I-65 (unsigned exit 95A and 95B) approximately  north of downtown Birmingham. However, an additional interchange (future exit 95C) just beyond I-65 to US 31 is currently under construction.

History
The concept of a Memphis-to-Birmingham expressway was discussed as early as the 1950s but did not move beyond talk for more than 20 years.

When studies for I-22 began, the highway was proposed to continue west to downtown Memphis, Tennessee, and end at I-240 and I-69. Several other proposals were also considered. One took I-22 along I-269 to I-55/I-69 and another took it along Crump Boulevard to end at I-55, but those plans never materialized.

The part of I-22 just east of Fulton, Mississippi, was approved by Congress as "Corridor X" in 1978, as a part of the ADHS, and parts of I-22 have been under construction ever since. Corridor X was also designated as "High Priority Corridor 10" in the federal National Highway System Designation Act of 1995 and as "High Priority Corridor 45" in later legislation. Over the many years of development, the project changed multiple times.

In 2004, Corridor X was designated as Future I-22 by Public Law Number 108-199, and the designation was made official on April 18, 2005. In Alabama and Mississippi, blue signs reading "FUTURE/I-22/CORRIDOR" at left and an I-22 shield with "FUTURE" instead of "INTERSTATE" at the right were unveiled on April 18, 2005.

The first major completed section of the route between the Mississippi state line and Jasper was opened to traffic on November 22, 2005. Exits on the Jasper Bypass portion of I-22 were originally numbered using a kilometer-based sequence because, at the time this stretch was opened, it appeared that all highways in the US were going to be measured using the metric system. The final decision was made to remain using miles, and they have been renumbered according to the highway's mileposts. A  segment between Graysville and Brookside was opened in June 2007, and another  section of Future I-22 between Jasper and Graysville was opened in November 2007. A  segment between Cherry Avenue in Forestdale to a point about  short of I-65 near Fultondale, including an interchange with Coalburg Road, was opened in December 2009. Next came the connection of I-22 with I-65 and US 31. The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) widened Coalburg Road from its interchange with I-22 southward to Daniel Payne Drive (which leads to I-65) to allow heavy trucks to use it; this project was nearly complete as of May 2015. Signs are now in place on Daniel Payne Drive (westbound) informing truckers that access to I-22 is not allowed from Daniel Payne Drive.

ALDOT was to award contracts in August 2009 for the construction of the final segment of I-22, including its large interchange with I-65 and US 31, with the construction to begin shortly afterward. Funding delays postponed these into 2010, however. On March 19, 2010, President Barack Obama signed the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (HIRE Act) into law, which included an extension of federal highway funding through the end of 2010. This extension gave the ALDOT the opportunity to proceed with its plans for the construction of final segment of I-22 in Alabama. The opening of the bids for this project began on May 21, 2010. ALDOT announced on June 16, 2010, that the project has been awarded to the company Archer Western Contractors for $168.6 million (equivalent to $ in ). The project is the most expensive highway project ever undertaken in Jefferson County, and it is the highest-priced contract awarded by the ALDOT .

On November 12, 2012, ALDOT's application for establishing I-22 was conditionally approved by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) at a special committee, pending for the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) to submit their own application for I-22 and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approval. This therefore officially established the existence of I-22.

In April 2013, the first actual I-22 shields were deployed in Marion County, Alabama, immediately east of the Mississippi state line. Such signs will extend east at least through Walker County into the outskirts of Birmingham. On August 21, 2014, ALDOT reported that I-22's interchange with I-65 would not be completed until October 2015. The interchange's connections via exit 95 to I-65 and the continuation under I-65 as exit 95C at US 31 remained under construction. In March 2016, the interchange with I-65 and continuation to US 31 was still under construction. New lanes north and southbound were opened on I-65 passing through the interchange and construction and painting operations were carried out on the I-22 entrance and exit ramps. The interchange to I-65 opened to traffic on June 20, 2016, while the connector to US 31 remained under construction.

Mississippi officials announced May 5, 2015, that the state officially began the process to designate its portion as I-22. The two requirements to be able to apply for this designation were to upgrade the route to Interstate standards and to connect to an existing Interstate within 25 years; this was completed when I-269 was opened in December 2017. The I-65 interchange was opened in October 2015. The route was officially signed in Mississippi in a ceremony on October 23, 2015.

Exit list

Auxiliary routes

Interstate 222

Interstate 222 (I-222) is a future auxiliary Interstate Highway that will be a connector between I-22 and the proposed I-422 near Birmingham, Alabama. There will be no exits other than its terminuses. The highway has been proposed because an interchange directly between I-22 and I-422 cannot be built because of environmental issues. AASHTO approved the designation on May 18, 2012. Construction on this new route has not been scheduled at this time.

Interstate 422

I-422 is a future northwestern bypass of Birmingham, connecting between I-20/I-59 from the southwest and I-59 in the northeast. It will also be connected with I-22 via I-222 in Brookside, located northwest of Birmingham. It was first proposed in May 2009 by US Representative Spencer Bachus; on May 18, 2012, it was approved by AASHTO.

NFB presents 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', 'Afterglow'
Special to The Log
Northwest Florida Ballet presents the magical production of A Midsummer Night's Dream and the neo classical ballet Afterglow at 7:30 p.m. March 9 and 2:30 p.m. March 10 at the Mattie Kelly Arts Center at Northwest Florida State College in Niceville. Tickets, $28 for adults and $14 for children 12 and under, are available online at www.nfballet.org or call 850-664-7787.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, based on William Shakespeare's play, will be the premier of this production for the NFB and a beautiful addition to its repertoire. The production has a cast of more than 58 dancers that includes NFB Company members and an impressive array of international guest artists. Breathtaking scenery and costumes from Orlando Ballet will add to the delight for the audience.
A Midsummer Night's Dream is a happy tangle of plots and subplots about the loves and adventures of mortals and mystical beings. It portrays the events surrounding the marriage of the Duke of Athens, Theseus, and the Queen of the Amazons, Hippolyta. These include the adventures of four young Athenian lovers and a group of amateur actors, who are manipulated by the fairies who inhabit the forest.
Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy wrote the musical score for the play. The arrangement was then edited to form a version suitable for dance, and Marius Petipa and later George Balanchine and Federick Ashton first choreographed the ballet version of Shakespeare's play in 1876.
Katia Garza, an NFB audience favorite for the past 10 years who is currently a principal guest artist with Northwest Florida, will choreograph this production. Garza has not only performed with NFB, but also regularly teaches and choreographs for the company.
"The dancers love working with Katia," Artistic Director Todd Eric Allen said. "Her positive energy and artistry are inspiring."
"I have to say that I have choreographed before, but Midsummer is the one I enjoy the most," Garza said. "It is a fun story with a lot of dancing and the audience will laugh and enjoy it. Midsummer is such a fun ballet to choreograph because it's always different and gives the dancers the freedom to interpret the roles in such a different way, so for me it's always like a new ballet."
Also on the program will be the neoclassical ballet Afterglow, set to the music "Fantasia on a Theme" by Thomas Tallis composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams and choreographed by Allen. This ballet was originally choreographed for Northwest Florida Ballet in 2001 and is an exploration of shapes and texture, a beautiful ballet sure to please the eye and ear.
In addition to its two public performances, NFB will also present a performance for area school children at 10 a.m. March 8 as part of its Education and Outreach services.

Computer forensics is a highly specialised and increasingly important area which can relate to many types of legal cases, ranging from an issue with an employee, perhaps theft or business fraud, whether an internal issue or where there is malicious hacking. theft not only incorporates direct financial theft but it is common in workplaces now for data to be stolen, since data is increasingly valuable, such as customer lists or other forms of confidential data.
In reality, a huge amount of the necessary evidence for any kind of case, whether a civil litigation issue or criminal litigation one, is found on a computer or other mobile device.
It is generally necessary to get an expert and accredited computer forensics expert involved at the earliest stage. As with any form of evidence, the way the evidence is obtained and handled from that point onwards is vitally important, as is the credibility and experience of the expert who does the work. You can easily imagine, in any form of legal matter,a technicality being raised that will create reasonable doubt.
Computer forensics is used, as stated above, increasingly with employment law matters. has an employee been perhaps looking at inappropriate content online, are they spending a lot of work time on social networking sites and so on and so forth. In this case it's very important to ensure that policies and procedures on privacy, intellectual property and contracts of employment are clear and are updated regularly.

Q: Add a parameter to a class contained in one vector of that class I'm doing the BattleShip game and I need some help sorting out the ships. Here we go.
I have a Ship Class:
class Ship {
public:
    Ship(char symbol, PositionChar position, char orientation, unsigned int size, unsigned int color);

private:

    unsigned int number;
    char symbol;
    PositionInt position;
    char orientation;
    unsigned int size;
    unsigned int color;
    string status;

};

and I have a Board class which contains:
vector <Ship> ships;

I need to load the info from a .txt:
tabuleiro: 10 x 10
1 - Porta-avioes - 5 - P - Vermelho_claro
1 - Fragata      - 4 – F - Magenta_claro
2 - Cruzador     - 3 - C - Verde_claro
3 - Submarino    - 2 - S - Castanho
4 - Lancha       - 1 - L - Azul_claro

where I get the info using this:
while (getline(config, tmp)) {

        config >> nr >> tmp >> nome >> tmp >> size >> tmp >> simb >> tmp >> cor; //de maneira analoga ao tabuleiro faz ignora os espaços e recolhe a info dos navios
        if (config.eof())
            break;

nr - number of ships
nome - name of the ship
size - size
simb - the char that represents it
cor - color
Now, my question is. I need to store all those ships (each line is a ship) and the info on the vector. Each element from the vector will contain all the info that I load from the txt.
How can I do that??
Thank you in advance
Best regards

A: I'd start by overloading operator>> for your ship class:
std::istream &operator>>(std::istream &is, Ship &s) {
    std::string tmp;
    return is >> s.nr >> tmp
              >> s.nome >> tmp
              >> s.size >> tmp
              >> s.simb >> tmp
              >> s.cor;
}

This allows you to read data from a file directly into a Ship object, like:
std::ifstream in("yourfile.txt");
Ship some_ship;

in >> some_ship;

It also (like other stream extractors) returns a reference to the istream object you were reading from. This allows two things. The first is chaining operators, so you could read two (or more) items at once:
in >> ship_a >> ship_b;

It also means you can check whether a stream extraction succeeded or not:
if (in >> some_ship)
    // ...

...or do reading in a loop that will (for example) exit when you reach the end of a file:
while (in >> some_ship)
    process(some_ship);

The standard also includes an istream_iterator type that will use operator>> to read things via an iterator interface. You can use that to (for one example) read an entire file full of Ship objects, and use them to initialize a vector:
std::ifstream input("YourFilename.txt");
std::vector<Ship> ships { std::istream_iterator<Ship>(input),
                          std::istream_iterator<Ship>() };

This does have one shortcoming though: it implicitly assumes that as soon as you've read the end of one record, you'll have some white-space (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc.) and then immediately after that will be the record for the next Ship object. If your input file might instead contain some extra garbage at the end of a line (after all the fields for the ship object itself), you could instead read in a line of data, then use a stringstream to parse an object out of that line:
std::string s;
Ship temp;

while (std::getline(input, s)) {
    std::istringstream is(s);
    if (!is >> temp)
        break;
    ships.push_back(temp);
}

This allows you to throw away any excess data at the end of a line. You read the file a line at a time, and then parse the data you care about out from that line. When you've done that, you just ignore anything that's left and go on to the next line.

A: To directly address your concern here
ships.push_back(Ship(nr,nome,size,...))

This should be done in a loop for each ship.

Dial, bezel and Crown happy sport of Tourbillon Joaillerie by Chopard are decorated with diamonds.
When the new happy sport Tourbillon Joaillerie Chopard demonstrated his prowess in terms of jewellery craft: the dial of the watch is over and over with diamonds. With the built-in Tourbillon wants the Geneva brand in the High quality watchmaking prove.
At Basel world 2014 friends 20 years ago, big eyes make launched Happy Sport will be: the really sporty ladies watch by Chopard happy sport Tourbillon Joaillerie presented here for the first time in its most magnificent and at the same time technically refined version – in form.

But the Geneva attack and provide its bestselling happy sport for the first time with one of the most challenging complications: a Tourbillon.
The Tourbillon, which simultaneously serves as a small second is visible on the six o'clock position of the dial decorated with diamonds. His bridges are decorated like the dial completely with brilliant-cut diamonds. This sophisticated techniques such as amended by snow were used. The Tourbillon movement is pulled manually and 02.16-L is the L.U.C. caliber. It offers a comfortable power reserve of 216 hours (9 days).
Only at twelve, three and nine o'clock of the dial, Roman numerals are attached, what makes reading the time a small challenge. The Sword-shaped hour and minute hands are clearly visible thanks to its blue tint. The very large with 42 mm for a ladies watch housing is available in white or pink gold. The stainless steel version typical for the happy sport watch is usefully dropped at this luxury version according to AUTOMOTIVEQNA.

Optically it is an everyday watch by her diamond dress but more a piece of jewellery for special occasions because.

The chef was arrested at the Cenotaph in Whitehall reading out the names of 97 British soldiers killed in Iraq. She was the first person to be convicted under section 132 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act, which requires protesters to obtain police permission before demonstrating within one kilometre of Parliament.
The Greenham Common veterans were arrested in April by Ministry of Defence police after walking 15ft across the sentry line at the US military base at Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire. Protesters who breach any one of 10 military bases across Britain can be jailed for a year or fined '5,000.
Mr Haw has become a fixture in Parliament Square with placards berating Tony Blair and President Bush. The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 was designed mainly with his vigil in mind. After being arrested, he refused to enter a plea. However, Bow Street magistrates' court entered a not guilty plea on his behalf in May.
The octogenarian heckled Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, during his speech to the Labour Party conference. He shouted "That's a lie" as Mr Straw justified keeping British troops in Iraq. He was manhandled by stewards and ejected from the Brighton Centre. He was briefly detained under Section 44 of the 2000 Terrorism Act.

We see a construction site of a tall building.
"Jack (played well by the experienced Ben Affleck) is taking a break, drinking coffee out of a canister. He goes to a bar for a drink and watches basketball on TV. He has a shower. Jack goes to the bottle shop and meets a friend. It's thanks giving. He drives to his mums house. Jack says hi to his extended family. They eat a good meal on an outdoor table. Uncle Jack talks to his nefue. Jack chats to his sister aswell. Jack is a good man. Great simple introduction to the movie"
"What have you been up to" says his sister. "Not much" Jack says.
"His sister wonders why he's not seeing anyone. She says that her friend Cathy catches him going to the bar every day. I like this conversation. Simple and slow but you see that the sister is worried for her brother. Jack appears to have a drinking problem"
Jack phones his ex wife, he leaves a message. Next morning he checks his messages and he is asked to go to a meeting with father Devine (played by John Aylward). Jack goes to the Hayes school to speak to father Devine. He waits in the church office.
Father devine says the basketball coach retired and he wants Jack to step in. He asks him to think about it. He goes home. In the morning Jack thinks about what he's going to say, he drinks a lot. He wants to say no. He practices saying no. In the morning we see all the empty beer cans. Jack ends up going to the basketball training session. He speaks to the previous coach. "I am honoured to turn things over to the new head coach Jack Cunningham" says the previous coach.
Jack asks previous coach for the shooting stats. A tall player called Marcus (played well by Melvin Gregg) shows attitude. It looks like their a boistrous bunch. The previous coach says that his mother had MS and he needed to quit the coaching job. He shows Jack his new office. Jack puts on a sports jacket.
"Game day arrives. Jack says 'I'm nervous as shit'. The team loses. We cut to the bar and Jack is drinking heavily. His friend walks him home. Jack is in the tub drinking another can of beer. Next morning in the car he puts jack daniels in a flask. It is clear that he might be an alcoholic"
He meets with his ex wife. She asks if he's moved on with his life.
"His wife says she's met someone, a few months. "I wanted to tell you before you found out through one of our friends" she says. He is clearly upset. He goes to the bar and gets drunk. Several things went wrong with Jack's life. Great acting by Ben Affleck. You really feel for Jack"
He falls down from his chair. His friend takes him home again. It's game day. A player kisses his girlfriend and tells Jack it makes him play better hehehe. Jack was one of the best ball players around when he was younger. The competitor coach knew his stats.
"Jack speaks to his team. The footage of the game is cool. Great close up shots and soundtrack. 'Watch the clock' says Jack. He calls a time out. 'Reach into your shorts and tell me if you can find a pair"' says Jack to the players. "I don't give a shit if we lose every game... but I will not coach a team that has been out toughed" says Jack. The game footage is awesome and Jack's speeches are inspiring"
Then a fight breaks out on court. They lose. Another father/teacher says Jack shouldn't swear. "Don't underestimate the impact you have on them" says the father.
The previous coach also says that he found empty beer cans in the office. "Don't let it happen again" he says to Jack. Jack goes to the bar but then drives home. Next day Jack has a meeting with his players. Marcus is late and Jack tells him to go home. That player is furious. That night is game day. The game starts. They are getting beat as usual. Jack calls a time out and shouts technical orders. A player shoots a 3 pointer and they win for the first time!
Bishop Hayes School wins but a few points. That night Jack is driving home and he gives a player a lift. He's the best player on the team Jack says. Jack wants to make him captain. But he doesn't have the confidence. He's too quiet on the court. At practice the coach pushes him. "I can't hear you" says Jack. "Fuck you... can you hear me now" says point guard. Next day Marcus visits Jack. He wants back in. He knocks on Jacks door but Jack denies him.
He knocks again and pleads with Jack. Jack says yes, finally. At practice Marcus comes back, Brandon (played well by Brandon Wilson) will be captain. At game day Jack swears again, this time to the referee "F* you, that's a chicken shit call" hehe. The father gives him a concerned look hehe. They then do training drills the next day.
"He then meets his ex wife. We find out that his kid passed away earlier in his life. He visits his sons grave. 'I miss you pal' he says. It's a very sad moment. They chat inside the car. Jack says he's angry. Jack has had a tough life. You realise why he turned to alcohol"
Next day Jack goes for a meal at his sisters house. His nefue knows all the stats. We cut to the game. Brandon is barking orders. "It's a pussy call" shouts Jack and he swears too much. The ref throws him out. "Sorry for losing my temper tonight" says Jack to Brandon as he gives him a lift home. Jack explains that his dad loved him being a basketball player but only when he did good. Jack then got into drugs etc. He never picked up a basketball again.
Jack visits Brandons dad. He says that Brandon is getting letters from colleges/full scholarships. But Brandons dad doesn't want this for his son. He says that basketball is not the way forward. Next is game day. They get caned early on. They get dunked on. Then Jack shouts and inspired them "Get in their face!"" he shouts. There is an offensive foul by the competitors. They make their three point shots. There is one time out left.
"There are only minutes left 'Stay focused run the set' says Jack. Then he says to Brandon 'Forget that... take the shot'. We see slow motion footage of Brandon bouncing the ball and taking the shit, very cool"
Then Brandon makes the shot! Jack breathes a sigh of relief. The players lift Brandon on their shoulders. Jack congratulates him. Jack is happy. We cut to his house, he's sleeping. His ex wife calls him and says that Miguel's son (Miguel is their friend) had a fever at school and now he's in hospital.
The doctor tells the parents bad news. Mother cries heavily and says "No!". Jack can't take watching this and has to walk away. It's quite an impactful scene. Jack drives to the bar. He sits down and drinks a glass of beer in one go. He drinks more and more. His friend carries him home. Next day he wakes up really late. He runs towards his car at the bar then drives to practice. He excuses himself to the players. In his office he puts jack daniels in a flask.
The father has a meeting with him "you brought alcohol near the players" says the father. "I could smell it on you.... the boys could smell it on you" says previous teacher. Jack pleads with them "Please don't do this" he says. Jack gets angry. He gives his key back and storms out. He goes to the bar and drinks. A blonde buys him drinks. He drives drunk with her. He crashes into a boat on the street! But he continues to drives to the Blonde's place.
He then walks into a house thinking it's her house but its another house. A man with a baseball bat shows up and tells him to stay put and wait for the cops. Jack has a fight with him and falls down from the stairs. He gets unconscious. Next day he wakes up in a hospital. We cut to training and players are told that Jack stepped down. Jack then has a meeting with the psychologist. He also meets with his ex-wife. "I failed my son because I didn't take care of his mother" says Jack.
We cut to game night. Brandon says "Lets do this for coach Cunningham". Hayes wins! We cut to Jack playing solo in an outdoor court. He sinks a three point shot. What a beautiful way to end the movie
"What a performance by Ben Affleck! He plays a down on his luck man excellently. The scenes of his coaching are inspiring. Great job by the basketball players, specifically Brandon Wilson (playing Brandon) and Melvin Gregg (playing Marcus). John Aylward as father Devine also excelled. The scene where Jack gets kicked out of coaching the team because of his alcoholism was very impactful"
The basketball game scenes were well shot. Such a simple plot but some great characters. Enjoy the interesting 1hr 48min.

2. How to replace a stylus?
Traditionally, Scratch DJs prefer spherical styli, as they preserve more of the groove over repeated backcueing and scratching. In theory, there is little difference between the tracking capabilities of an elliptical stylus versus a spherical stylus.
Mix DJs will benefit from either stylus type, and many choose elliptical based strictly on fidelity reasons. However, there is no absolute rule on choosing a stylus - many mix DJs still use sphericals, and some scratch DJs are actually using ellipticals.
One thing is for sure - if you choose to use an elliptical stylus, you should take care to not apply too much tracking weight, as it will prematurely cause unnecessary wear.
Firstly lock the turntable tone arm, unscrew the cartridge, gently remove the stylus from the cartridge and insert a new stylus. A stylus is changed usually by pulling straight out and in the opposite direction of the turntable's arm. If the stylus doesn't come with directions, try these: with one hand, hold the cartridge to steady it. With the other hand, using a pair of tweezers, grasp the stylus from both sides and pull.
Install the new stylus: holding the stylus from the top, press it gently into the space at the tip of the cartridge where the old stylus had been. Don't force it.
3. How should I maintain the stylus to ensure longest life and best sound?
Stylus longevity is a result of many different factors, including the condition of vinyl being played, the amount of backcueing being performed, and the setup of the cartridge.
For best performance, make sure the records being played are not scratched and that they are relatively free of dirt and residue.
Also make sure to follow setup guidelines as suggested by the specifications found in the manual (or found on our website).
Finally, the stylus should be cleaned regularly using an appropriate stylus brush, with the bristles of the brush being dragged from back-to-front to remove any dirt or residue. Ortofon insists that cleaning fluids are not to be used, as they can weaken the stylus or cause damage to the internal components of the cartridge.
4. I've heard a lot of varying statements on the differences between spherical and elliptical styli. What are the real differences, and the reasoning behind them?
The physical difference between a spherical and elliptical stylus is the shape of the diamond.
An elliptical diamond allows for more detailed sound quality, as it fits better within the groove and therefore has more contact area with the groove itself. Elliptical diamonds penetrate the groove walls further, extracting more intricate detail, especially in the high end, than is possible with a spherical diamond. It is commonly misrepresented that elliptical styli cause more wear than spherical styli.
In fact, spherical styli, since they have a smaller contact area and more pressure, cause more immediate wear than elliptical styli, but in a smaller area of the groove itself. Elliptical styli, since they have more weight distribution amongst a larger contact area, will wear the groove slower, but will wear more of the groove over repeated backcueing.
Concorde CLUB uses a modified elliptical stylus, known as "special elliptical" which can stand up to heavy backcueing, unlike traditional elliptical styli.
5. What is stylus lifetime?
Concerning DJ systems used for scratching and back cuing, we have experienced stylus lifetime to be about 500 hours at the most because of the styli unique application.

In charge at the Battle of Windy Hill.
1972 Reserves
Reserves Coaches
Keith McKenzie
Senior Coach : 1972 - 1975
Games : 3
Playing Career : North Melbourne (1944-51) 130 games, 12 goals.
Height : 178 cm (5 ft. 10 in.)
Weight : 75 kg (11 stone, 11 lbs.)
DOB : April 26, 1922
In a lifetime devoted to VFL/AFL football, Keith "Macka" McKenzie became a celebrated figure at two clubs; North Melbourne and Carlton. Following an illustrious 130-game playing career with North Melbourne, and four seasons as senior coach of the 'Roos, McKenzie transferred his allegiance to Carlton when he was appointed as an assistant to John Nicholls in 1972. Later, he served as General Manager of the club during the turbulent period when George Harris was returned for a second term as President, and all up, dedicated 35 years of his long life to the Old Dark Navy Blues.
McKenzie began his playing at North Melbourne in their junior sides prior to World War II. Wartime service in the RAAF delayed the start of his senior career until 1944, but he then went on to play 130 games over eight seasons. An agile, skilful centreman or winger, he was judged Best and Fairest for the Shinboners in 1946, and wore the Big V in Victorian state teams on five occasions. In 1950, he was on a wing in North's Grand Final team that lost to Essendon.
In 1951, McKenzie retired from League football to take on the role of captain-coach at VFA newcomers Moorabbin. He was Best and Fairest in his first year, and took his new team into the finals for the first time in 1952. He then packed his boots away and finished his playing days, before coaching Frankston to a Premiership in the Mornington Peninsula Football League in 1961.
Throughout those years, McKenzie maintained his links at Arden St, and, after serving as an assistant to senior coach Alan Killigrew for a couple of seasons, was appointed to the top job when "Killer" (the 'hot gospeller') was forced into retirement by ill-health. Unfortunately for 'Macca,' his five years in charge of the Shinboners produced little success, and he posted only 23 wins in 82 games. He was sacked by North after his side finished last in 1970, but he had his admirers at Carlton, and two years later he was appointed assistant coach of the Blues under club legend John Nicholls.
When he first arrived at Princes Park, McKenzie created something of a stir with his fashion sense. Always a snappy dresser, he favoured tailored suits in striped or check fabrics, and his bright ties made him easy to spot in a crowded room. Regardless, he threw himself headlong into his new responsibilities as Reserves coach, and took charge of the senior team three times in his own right; twice when Nicholls was on representative duties with the Victorian State team, and one other time when Big Nick was serving a one-match suspension. In all of those matches, Carlton came away with the win.
The first occasion was in round 12, 1972, when Carlton played Fitzroy at Waverley Park. The Blues were without Nicholls, Alex Jesaulenko and Geoff Southby, yet still accounted for the Roys by six goals. Later in that fabled year, Carlton famously beat Richmond in the highest-scoring Grand Final ever played.
'Macka' took charge for the second time in round 2 of 1973, when Carlton beat North Melbourne by 27 points at Princes Park. Nicholls (who was under a one-match suspension for striking a Geelong player the previous week) had to seek dispensation from the VFL to enter the ground that afternoon, in order to see the '72 Premiership flag unfurled.
The third and last time McKenzie coached the Blues has gone down in football folklore as The Battle of Windy Hil; an extraordinary game against Essendon in round 14, 1975. Again, Nicholls, Jesaulenko and Southby were all on state duty when McKenzie sent Carlton's depleted team out onto the Bombers' home turf for the match of the day on Saturday, July 5, 1975.
Essendon jumped away to lead by 21 points at the first break, but after that it was all Carlton. Piling on an incredible 14 goals in the first 23 minutes of the second quarter, the visitors were taking complete control when full-forward Craig Davis was felled behind play. That incident sparked an all-in brawl, and a series of ugly clashes throughout the rest of the match. Seven players – four from Carlton, and three from Essendon – were later reported, as Carlton ran out winners by 80 points. David McKay kicked 8 goals for the Blues, while Robert Walls bagged five. Carlton's score of 27.13 (175) that day (to Essendon's 15.5.95), remains the Blues' highest-ever tally against the Bombers.
In 1976, McKenzie was appointed Carlton's General Manager, and held the post until 1979. Throughout the years since, he has remained actively involved in many aspects of the club's operations, including the Spirit of Carlton committee. He was a long-time employee, friend and advisor to revered Carlton President Richard Pratt, and in 1995 - at the age of almost seventy-two - McKenzie returned once more to coaching at the newly-formed VAFA club Swinburne University, remaining in charge for two seasons.

Art, Like Bread: Holiday Happiness!
Hello! I am just popping in to say how excited I am about the upcoming holidays! Now that Thanksgiving and Haunukkah have passed, we can count down the days until Christmas on the Advent calendar.
I have been gathering presents and planning my holiday baking for the first time. Fudge. Yup. My first batch was heavenly. Maybe it was beginner's luck because my next two batches weren't so much. They were okay, but not quite to the level of that first batch. I will make my next batch in time for the holiday party this weekend. Wish me luck!
Are you decorating for the season? I have made a few preliminary attempts, especially because I now live in very sunny Florida where each season is pretty darned hot. To my northern body it still feels like summer here!
So good to reconnect with you. Please share your holiday prep plans!! More soon!

Feature points extraction is a common computer vision task where Harris Corner Detector fits well. Corners are important features of an image, since they provide useful information for objects detection and recognition. A classical interest points detector is the one developed by Harris as this operator is robust and accurate in distinguishing between edges and corners. The algorithm performs per pixel basis, so FivekoGFX implements a fast parallel version of Harris corners extractor using WebGL/OpenGL GLSL code.
What is a corner in an image?
Corners are points located between two dominant image edges with different direction. Vertices of image contours are of great importance for defining objects shape. Hence we frequently call them key points or feature points.
How does Harris Corner Detector works?
Feature points extraction by Harris detector is based on image derivatives. Because corners are located around derivatives variations, we look for such significant gradient changes. The principle behind Harris corner detector is the search for significant changes in the gradient intensity for local area (window). For that reason when the window is over a linear gradient segment directional changes will decrease maximum gradient value. Otherwise when window is over a vertex, movements in any direction will increase the intensity change.
For image derivatives calculation it is appropriate to use Sobel edge detector.
Finally, the algorithm creates a gray-scale map image where the bright areas are the corners.
Below are code snippets of Harris Corner Detection, which are part of FivekoGFX computer vision library. The proposed algorithm uses OpenGL shaders to provide parallel execution and good performance.
First of all we calculate image gradients in horizontal and vertical direction. As a result our algorithm stores the derivatives as in below snippet.
Next step is to compute Harris corner score at each image pixel. Using accelerated GPU computation, FivekoGFX performs local 3×3 average to get the sums of the derivatives products. The matrix determinant and trace calculates using point parameters from above step.
Like Canny edge detector, this algorithm also implements a NMS (non-maximum suppression) filter. As a result, places that are less likely to be points of interest are set to zero. Feel free to visit FivekoGFX project on GitHub for the detailed non-maximum suppression source code.
Using FivekoGFX library it is possible to extract Harris corners map with a simple API call. Below is an example code snippet for feature points map extraction.

Human Trafficking-Changes Over the Years
Life took a horrifying turn for Sushma after that fateful day. The day that changed her life. There she sat under the windowpane, dressed in rags, her hands bruised. Her eyes were swollen and tears ran down her cheeks. How she longed to get back home, to her family, her normal life.
The guard yelled at her from afar, "You there! Get back to your room". Taking support of the window she stood up a little shakily and walked back slowly towards her room through the dimly lit corridor. She looked at herself in the small mirror in her room and started sobbing. She lay on the hard floor, with her stomach growling, gazing at the pale ceiling. Everything had changed since she was kidnapped, and brought here to be a slave and for the sexual pleasures of a rich old man. She wasn't the only one who fell prey to this agonizing life here, there were more girls of about the same age as her at the receiving end of the molestation and frequent assaults.
What is human trafficking? How did it affect the nation in the past decade?
Human trafficking is trading people either within a country or trans-nationally. Kids, teens, and women are the ones who are most often the victims. Human trafficking is one of the fastest-growing crimes of the world wherein the people trafficked are held for bonded labour, child labour, structured illegal organ donations, sexual slavery or commercial sex exploitation. In an era where we have developed and crossed horizons in terms of technology, space systems, entertainment and in many other sectors, criminal acts like trafficking are a disgrace to the nation's security and safety concerns. India has brought in laws, regarding this, into effect but still is a few steps behind in actually putting its best foot forward in punishing those responsible. India initially incorporated most of the foreign laws on human trafficking, with the first being 'The forced labour convention of the International Labour Organization, 1930' from which the Indian law has ratified most of its definitions. When we are fast achieving higher targets in globalization, we have also come a long way in enforcing safety measures over the years.
A thought that comes to mind when we speak of the victims of the ghastly slavery and labour in unknown places, away from family and devoid of mental peace, what exactly do they go through in the long run? In the case of bonded or child labour, kids and adults are forced to stay under probably physically tiring and painful conditions that affect their physiological and psychological health. The labourers are confined to these places without any surety of a return date. Though a lot might have changed in the techniques of luring commoners into believing the traffickers, if there is one way that still is the most common of them all, it is the way the traffickers encash in on the vulnerabilities of the victims, before assuring them of a much better life ahead. Victims go through a lot of agony, stress, and trauma during these times, and even if they are rescued from that hell, chances are low that they come out of it completely even after treatment.
But the situations of victims of sexual slavery and commercial sex markets are even more depressing. The method of coming into contact with young girls and teens has changed a lot in the past decade. The kidnapping was pretty much the only way of trafficking girls, apart from times where people who were illiterates or were financially weak would sell their daughters. The scenario now though, is a little more convenient, courtesy, social media. Traffickers get to know the details of girls very easily, befriend them and gain their trust, making the girls easy targets. As if, social media wasn't enough to carry out this crime, there are also several cases of forced marriages to foreigners or unfamiliar men who might turn out to be middlemen in the trade who might sell them after marriage. The victims also face a societal pressure of feeling left out or different from the others which are due to the discrimination they go through and the hatred they receive from the very people around them. And this is nothing less than the hell they have been rescued from. In such environments there prevails a sense of insecurity, dependency as well as loneliness, these in return lead to suicidal tendencies.
If there is one thing that has changed about trafficking, rescue operations are being carried out more effectively. In the early years of the decade (2008-2018), it was a rare sight to bring back people from other countries or from far off areas, but due to the evolution and the vast expansion of technology and logistical operations, it has become easy to conduct raids. Search operations and effective efforts to try to bring back at least some of the missing ones have been largely successful. In contrast to just mentioning laws and punishments against trafficking as well as traffickers, the government has formulated a set of laws that are violated in such crimes:
Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, 1986: The Act prohibits employment of children below specific age and in certain specified occupations. It also punishes the employment of minor children.
Information Technology Act, 2000:
Section 67A- Punishes publication or transmission of material containing sexually explicit acts in electronic form.
Section 68B- Punishes publication or transmission of material depicting children in sexually explicit acts in electronic form.
Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000: The law is relevant for children who are vulnerable and are therefore likely to be the victim of trafficking. It protects juveniles in need of care and protection.
The Government of India applied the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013, active from February 2013, as well as Section 370 and 370A IPC, which defines human trafficking as an extreme stage of exploitation and deserving of stringent punishment.
Rehabilitation centers for the rescued and the sufferers to come back into a normal life have come into existence. These homes make trafficking victims independent and stronger in all aspects. Such changes help them in developing an optimistic view of the future.
Though there still might be many more people like Sushma still waiting to get back home, to their normal lives, to a life of peace, free from the agony and pain. The joy of coming back to loved ones is what all their hearts yearn for…

It is a well-known fact that respected and trusted NDT methods such as UT, RT, PT, MT and VT have proven to be effective in finding defects and/or discontinuities in a wide variety of equipment. While effective, these same methods tend to have limitations including, but not limited to, performing a 100% inspection on a structure to make sure there are no defects present, extensive down time to complete tests, loss of revenue through down time, equipment costs, start-up costs etc. Since this is a major concern before or especially during a major shut down, Acoustic Emission Testing (AET) has proven itself as a method of preference in detecting the presence of defects quickly and reliably. AET also provides accurate detail in identifying defects based on their individual level of seriousness and in doing so, permits the manager and/or owner to plan their maintenance schedules in a timely and efficient manner.
WHAT EXACTLY IS ACOUSTIC EMISSION TESTING?
placed at strategic locations. The main difference between seismic and AET sensors are the frequency spectrums used. The seismic industry uses low frequencies between 0 to 10 Hz that would create problems if used in noisy environments. AET uses frequencies between 20 and 400 kHz (in some cases evenhigher), which allows the monitoring of equipment subject to high noise from pumps and liquids flowing in piping etc. Another difference is the distance used between sensors. In the seismic industry the sensors are placed many miles away from the source. Typical AET sensor spacing is in the order of 10 to 15 feet apart.
Thus, AET can be described as the method that uses sensors to detect the high frequency signals resulting from structural defects when the test object is subjected to a load. Such signals may result from the growth of cracks, corrosion, rubbing, leaks, overstress etc. In the case of FRP vessels and/or structures it would be fiber breakage, de-lamination, de-bonding, etc. The AE test as such is normally conducted during a controlled increase in the operating load, which can range from a pressure change to a load being applied or even a cool down or a controlled temperature change where the thermal stresses are monitored. Active defects that could be detrimental to the safe operation of the vessel under test are located and thus structural integrity is kept at a maximum.

Q: How do you think about risk? What role has taking risks played in your life/career? (Question from Emma Jacobs, VoyageMIA.com)
A: My journey to becoming a visual artist was circuitous, to say the least. Risk-taking gave me the life and career I enjoy now.
The biggest – and scariest – risk I've ever taken was deciding to leave my active duty Naval career to pursue art full-time. The second most significant risk was moving to New York City in 1997. I have never regretted doing either one.
When I was 25, and a civilian, I earned my private pilot's license and spent the next two years amassing other flying licenses and ratings, culminating in a Boeing-727 flight engineer's certificate. Two years later I joined the Navy.
As an accomplished civilian pilot with thousands of flight hours, I had expected to fly jets in the Navy. However, women were barred from combat in those days (the 1980s) so there were very few women Navy pilots. There were no female pilots on aircraft carriers and no female Blue Angels. Women were restricted to training male pilots for combat jobs and priority was given to Naval Academy graduates. My BA was from a different university.
In the mid-1980s I was in my early 30s and a Lieutenant on active duty in the Navy. I worked a soul-crushing job as a computer analyst on the midnight shift in a Pentagon sub-basement. It was literally and figuratively the lowest point of my life. I hated my job! Not only was it boring, I was not using my hard-won flying skills. In short I was miserable – miserable and trapped because a Naval officer cannot just resign with two weeks notice.
Remembering the joyful Saturdays of my youth when I had taken art classes with a local New Jersey painter, I enrolled in a drawing class at the Art League School in Alexandria, Virginia. Initially I wasn't very good, but it was wonderful to be around other women and a world away from the "warrior mentality" of my mostly male Pentagon co-workers. Plus, I was having fun!
Soon I enrolled in more classes and became a very motivated full-time art student who worked nights at the Pentagon. As I studied and improved my skills, I discovered my preferred medium – soft pastel on sandpaper.
Although I was certain I had found my life's calling as a fine artist, I had grown used to a regular paycheck and the many benefits of being a Navy Lieutenant. For more than a year I agonized over whether or not to leave the Navy and lose my financial security. I'd be taking a huge risk: could I ever support myself as an artist? Was I making the dumbest mistake of my life?
Eventually, I decided I HAD TO take a leap. I simply adored making art – it challenged me to use all of my skills and talents – while I was unhappy, bored, and unfulfilled working at the Pentagon.
But once my mind was finally made up, I still could not leave. Due to geopolitical circumstances, there was a significant delay. The Navy was experiencing a manpower shortage and Congress had enacted a stop-loss order, which prevented officers from resigning for one year. I submitted my resignation effective exactly one year later: on September 30, 1989. Being stuck in a job I no longer wanted nor had the slightest interest in, was truly the longest year of my life!
Unlike most people, I can pinpoint exactly when I became an artist. I designate October 1, 1989 as the day I became a professional artist! I have never regretted my decision and I never again needed, nor had, a day job.
However, I must mention that I remained as a part-time Naval Reservist for the next 14 years, working primarily at the Pentagon for two days every month and two weeks each year. The rest of the time was my own to pursue my art career. After I moved to Manhattan in 1997, I commuted by train to Washington, DC to work for the Navy.
Finally on November 1, 2003, I officially retired as a Navy Commander. Now, I daresay, I am the rare fine artist who can point to a Navy pension as a source of income.
I love my life as an accomplished New York fine artist! With the help of two social media assistants, I work hard to make and promote the art I create. My pastel paintings and my pastel skills continue to evolve and grow, gaining wider recognition and a larger audience along the way.
In addition to making art, I have been a blogger since 2012. The audience for my blog, https://barbararachkoscoloreddust.com/ increases by 1,000 – 2,000 new subscribers each month. Today I have more than 72,000 readers!
