Q: matlab, histogram how to find my data in the plot I have my data in 2 vectors.
Then using [n,xout] = hist(x,y) returns vectors n and xout containing the frequency counts and the bin locations.
x are my real data and y the segment where I want to build my histogram.
Than I use bar(xout,n) to plot the histogram. In the end I am fitting this histogram with gaussian fit.
Now I would like to know where my real data (each point of vector x), are located in the histogram?
Can someone help me to figure out them?

A: [~, result] =  min(abs(bsxfun(@minus, y(:), x(:).')));

This gives, for each value in x, the index of the closest element in y. So y(result) is the closest element in y for each x.
Example:
>> x = [0.4 1.6 5.3 4.2 3.1 7.8];
>> y = [0 2 4 6 8];
>> [~, result] =  min(abs(bsxfun(@minus, y(:), x(:).')))
result =
     1     2     4     3     3     5
>> y(result)
ans =
     0     2     6     4     4     8

A: You want to use histc.
[binCounts, idx] = histc(x, y);

Then to find the bin in which a certain value of x is:
bin = idx(x == 0.4);

Just watch out since histc second input is not the centers like hist, but the end value of each bin. So you might need to change your y vector.

Antrodoco ist eine Gemeinde in der Provinz Rieti in der italienischen Region Latium mit  Einwohnern (Stand ). Sie liegt 97 km nordöstlich von Rom und 23 km östlich von Rieti.

Geographie
Antrodoco liegt im Tal des Velino, an der Stelle, an der der Fluss die eindrucksvollen Gole del Velino (Schluchten des Velino) verlässt. Es ist Mitglied der Comunità Montana del Velino.

Verkehr
Antrodoco liegt an der Via Salaria (SS 4), die von Rom an die Adria führt. In der Stadt zweigt die Via Sabina (SS 17) ab, die nach L'Aquila und weiter nach Foggia führt.

Geschichte
Antrodoco geht auf die antike Siedlung Interocrium (in Sabinischer Sprache Dorf zwischen den Bergen) zurück. Sie war ein wichtiger Knotenpunkt an der Via Salaria. Römische Inschriften, die heute in der Kirche Santa Maria Extra Moenia eingemauert sind, weisen auf Interocrium hin und dokumentieren seine Zugehörigkeit zum Stimmbezirk der Tribus Quirina innerhalb der römischen Volksversammlung. Eine Siedlung der Langobarden, ein Zankapfel zwischen Kaiser Friedrich II. und den Titularherzögen von Urslingen und ein Besitztum der Anjou war Antrodoco im frühen und hohen Mittelalter. In späterer Zeit fanden in der Umgebung mehrere Gefechte statt: 1494 widersetzten sich die Einwohner den Truppen von König Karl VIII. von Frankreich, wonach 1529 Fürst Philibert von Orange die Siedlung den Savelli übertrug, denen Colonna, Bandinini und Guinigi folgten. 1799 schlugen die Anwohner französische Revolutionstruppen zurück. Im Jahre 1821 konnte ein österreichisches Heer unter dem Befehl des Generals Johann Philipp von Frimont, Graf von Palota, die neapolitanischen Revolutionstruppen des Generals Guglielmo Pepe besiegen: Der Kommandeur wurde daraufhin vom König Ferdinand I. Beider Sizilien zum Fürsten von Antrodoco ernannt. Später folgte die Kleinstadt dem Schicksal Süditaliens.

The organic food is the development of food production with traditional methods.
These methods have been, during the twentieth century, modified by the use of chemical agents in order to increase production and is now called conventional farming.
In order to consider a product as organic must take into account many points. In the case of agriculture can not use chemicals and seeds should not be transgenic, or without genetic changes. You can only apply natural salts, such as copper or sulfur. Products to remove or repel insect pests and fungi can not be synthetic or artificial chemicals must be of organic origin.
Neither can be added to food artificial additives of any kind.
The resulting plant organic or biological, can be certified by the administration, after passing a series of production and analytical controls.
In livestock antibiotics can not be supplied as a base system for keeping livestock or growth hormones, and they are also given food must come from organic farming.
Fishing, as in other food practices, follow minimum processing methods, products and artificial conditions. Since different countries have requested that the products they are in conformity certificate and have followed the protocols requested. The main countries and organizations such as the EU, USA, Japan and Canada, among others, have certified their own. On 1 January 2009 came into force the new EU rules, included in the Lisbon Treaty for the production, control and labeling of organic products.
In Spain, the Autonomous Community has its seal of organic certification, although mandatory labeling should be with the EU. The CCPA is in Catalonia, Catalan Council of Organic Farming. Most countries have some but not all certificate valid for import to other countries.
In the EU can label a product as organic food or if the ingredients have been produced with the corresponding environmental regulations. In the event that the product has Genetically Modified Organisms can only be labeled if they have not been introduced intentionally and have a lower percentage to 0.9% in the product.
Sometimes some kind of fruit or vegetable biological do not look so attractive as conventional, but what matters is not the look, but the absence of synthetic chemicals and nutrients that provides organic food.
There are products that come from distant places, the lack of local product or production cost, but increased consumption and awareness of consumers, who are increasingly more products to market local biological, so the does have more ecological value by reducing the transport, social and helping the local economy.
Organic food, for weather, you can not cultivate our land, should not be consumed. Good coming out of agricultural cooperatives or fair trade.

The Safari SS550-HF snorkel is tough and stylish and has been designed to deliver a huge volume of the coolest and cleanest air possible into the stock air cleaner assembly of the 300 Series Defender Land Rover.
Right from the start, Safari took the decision to develop a snorkel system that exceeded the huge mass air flow requirements of the gutsy 2.5L Turbo Diesel engine - and through thorough engineering and exhaustive testing of the SS550HF snorkel system, those lofty design targets were achieved.
For example in order to achieve the optimum air flow within the engine bay area of the Defender, a special cuffed hose was engineered to deliver a huge shot of fresh air directly into the air cleaner assembly. This specialized hose is specifically constructed for positive sealing at each end via the cuffs and is exceptionally tough to eliminate any possibility of hose collapse under suction - and super tough to withstand high under-hood temperatures. The result is maximum engine performance and bullet-proof durability. The hose takes advantage of the tight spaces that would preclude the use of traditional hoses - but with the advantage that the internal cross sectional profile of this hose can be altered whilst maintaining the desired cross sectional area at each and every point along its length.


As freedom aspirations gave birth to liberated Egypt and Tunisia, they also pushed Israel further into isolation. Tel Aviv seems to be the worst-affected by the changes in its neighbors encouraged by its closest ally, the US.
Democracy has a price, and the new Egypt embraced as positive example of change in the Arab world by the West is not the only one paying.
"What did the revolution bring us? At least during earlier times there was there was a bit of security but now there is less security on the streets," said political scientist Dr. Omar Ashour from the Exeter University.
Israel has also been left hanging – a slow road to stability in neighboring Egypt, mixed with a massively unpopular Israeli foreign policy makes a dangerous cocktail.
"The pace for change towards those aspirations was very slow so you had a lot of frustration on one side and then you had a lot of anger that [was] exacerbated after the killing of five Egyptian soldiers on Egyptian territory by Israeli gunfire," added Dr. Omar Ashour.
The recent attack on the Israeli embassy in Cairo shook up the situation even further. Protesters threw stones and stormed the building as military police stood by and watched for hours. Three people were killed and over 1,000 injured.
"This situation can get worse for Israel, not for us. We're just starting to get stronger. This is not a negative thing for us, but a plus," a protester in Cairo, Ahmed Aly, told RT.
The protester who took down the Israeli flag at the embassy in August was hailed as Egypt's new superhero "flagman". A wall was then built to protect the embassy, but was completely destroyed by protesters.
Emergency law is now being enforced in Egypt, suffocating its already short-lived freedom. And the US's strongest ally in the region, Israel, is facing security threats as this new democracy is stuck in a spiral of uncertainty, instability, and sometimes chaos.
Benjamin Netanyahu called the incident a near "disaster" being averted. And there might be a lot more work to do to avoid catastrophe in the future.
"Israel should worry about it. Look at what's happening in Turkey and Egypt – two very important states in the area which used to have not only peace, but friendship with Israel, are today really at odds with Israel," explained Dr. Nabeel Shaath, advisor to Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas.
And its number-one friend seems to be having trouble keeping a balance when it comes to promoting Arab democracy and protecting Israel's security.
"It must occur to Netanyahu and others at this point that certainly the Americans are holding the aces and have all the cards up their sleeves. So I think that's something that must weigh heavily on Israel at this point," stated editor James Corbett.
Because when it comes down to it, the US tends to protect one thing in the end.
"The basic problem with America and the Western civilization in general and the way they are handling things is it has become too much about interest and not really about humanity or anything else. It is interest, and when that is the main driver, things become messy," explained independent analyst Ahemd Ebeid.
And Egypt could become a mess that Israel will have to clean up.
Phyllis Bennis, director of the Institute for Policy Studies, a US-based peace and human rights group, believes that the US support of the Arab Spring now has a very negative impact on Israel. Its former allies are now turning their backs on the Jewish State.
"Israel is fundamentally isolated in increasing ways now and has really no friends in the region," Bennis went on. "And internationally its only reliable friend is the US. In a certain way it is inevitable given the policies that Israel has carried out. The policies of continued occupation, the policies of apartheid, the policies of the siege of Gaza – all these policies have de-legitimized Israel in a way that no country is prepared to back it any longer, except for the US. The US is sort of caught between the strategic interests of re-building ties with these newly-emerging governments in the Arab world".

In Trump's anti-press rhetoric, a dark echo from the past

February 20, 2017 Roy Peter Clark
When I heard that Donald Trump had branded journalists as "an enemy of the American people," I had a flashback. It was early in the 1980s, and I was running one of Poynter's first seminars on media ethics. One evening, with popcorn served, we had a showing of a movie, starring Steve McQueen, called "An Enemy of the People."
No wonder the line was familiar.
The movie was based upon an 1882 play by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, rewritten and adapted for American audiences in 1950 by Arthur Miller (author of such works as "Death of a Salesman" and "The Crucible.")
Miller, an author caught up in the witch hunts of the McCarthy era, offered an explanation as to why he was inspired to reach back to Ibsen: "I believed this play could be alive for us because its central theme is…the central theme of our social life today. Simply, it is the question of whether the democratic guarantees protecting political minorities ought to be set aside in a time of crisis. More personally, it is the question of whether one's vision of the truth ought to be a source of guilt at a time when the mass of men condemn it as a dangerous and devilish lie."
My motivation in showing the movie to journalists was simple. I found the protagonist, Dr. Stockmann, a scientist not a reporter, a sound role model for an ethical journalist. Both the scientist and the journalist have attachments to the truth; and both, it turns out, must deliver uncomfortable truths, truths with negative consequences. Instead of fame, the reporting of truth can bring shame, exile, even death. To do the right thing, the courageous reporter must be willing to stand alone.
A summary of the plot give these theories a shape and substance.
A small Norwegian town has the benefit of hot springs, a place where tourists come for healing waters. The springs are central to the identity and prosperity of the town. Upstream there is a tannery, and Dr. Stockmann suspects the effluence is poisoning the water. He awaits the results of a study, and its arrival, which confirms his suspicions, kicks off the action of the play. The doctor's only concern is that when "this exposé breaks they're liable to start making a saint out of me."
At first it looks that way. The mayor and newspaper publisher treat him like a champion of the town until the consequences of his revelations begin to take shape. Stockmann struggles to get the message out, but all forms of democratic expression abandon him: first the mayor, then the newspaper publisher, then the citizens of a town meeting, who brand him not a hero but "an enemy of the people."
(In Norwegian, the play is titled "En folkefiende." That language is revealing. The truth teller turns out to be not just an enemy of the common people, but a "fiende," a word that translates as devil or demon.)
The town banishes the doctor, but he refuses to leave. In the harrowing final scene, Dr. Stockmann is alone with his family. A mob gathers outside his house. Rocks fly through the windows. He tries to encourage his family: "But remember now, everybody. You are fighting for the truth, and that's why you're alone. And that makes you strong. We're the strongest people in the world… and the strong must learn to be lonely."
Close curtain.
It has become a political commonplace in our time that the "truth" is up-for-grabs. As an alternative to evidence, we are offered "truthiness," "fake news," "alternative facts," not to mention the "bubbles," "biases," and "echo chambers" of a so-called "post-fact" world. Propagandists become "merchants of doubt," especially when the epistemology of science or journalism threatens corporate or political interests.
We know that a good doctor, like Dr. Stockmann, should bellow: "The water is poisoned! The people are poisoned!" at the top of his lungs, but corporate and political interests, encouraged by personal greed, could not tolerate the truth, no matter how many scientific reports supported it.
Here is how it should work when the water is poisoned — in a place like Flint, Michigan.
It was Ron Fonger, reporting for the Flint Journal and Mlive, who broke news that terrible problems with the water system in Flint had led to "elevated lead levels in children's blood." Like Dr. Stockmann, Fonger was "relentless on the Flint water story." And like the doctor, the reporter faced "push back" from authorities.
Dr. Stockmann was exiled, willing to stand alone, if necessary, in his espousal of the truth. Ron Fonger was honored by colleagues and his community in his dogged pursuit of the truth and his willingness to speak truth to power.
If there were a sequel to Ibsen's play, I wonder how the people of the town would react when the poison from the tannery reached their homes and workplaces, when it manifested itself in disease and death. Maybe then, the mayor, the publisher, the business community, the people would find their way to do the right thing. Maybe Dr. Stockmann would get the medal he deserved. But probably not. Instead, all original deniers would find their way to give themselves the credit.
I see on social networks that some who believe in science and journalism are beginning to embrace "enemy of the people" as a badge of honor. In recent weeks, when the new administration has attacked its opponents, it has led to an interest or revival of some classic works of literature, such as George Orwell's "1984."
A revival of "An Enemy of the People" would be a good thing. For democratic purposes, Miller's adaptation is better. It purges the original of Dr. Stockmann's attachment to eugenics, a theory of racial and cultural superiority that, flowing from Ibsen to Goebbels, would become dangerous in the 20th Century.


Presentation about the RMIT SDN testbed and how it connects to the rest of the national SDN testbed. Plans for the future will be presented. There will also be a general invitation for people or companies that have SDN projects to get involved and work with RMIT and other Universities through the testbed.
The RMIT SDN testbed is now operational and we're moving to collect equipment. What has been a slow process is now moving ahead rapidly.
For those interested we'll also walk through and demonstrate how SDN is being taught in undergraduate and postgraduate courses this semester.
Note: This is an RMIT hosted event advertised for the interest of TelSoc members.

Post by: Kurei § Notai on October 22, 2012, 11:22:18 pm
Niha Ichihara's dorm room. It Actually like an apartment due to his magics expanding room. His styles of living is japanese styles, including futons and Tatami mats. When entering, you will find yourself in a living room, the kitchen locates right next to it with counters and such. Going through hallway, you will find a door to bathroom, a storeroom, and his king-size bedroom with one closet and a big bathroom containing a hot spa tub and a shower.
Finally a door lead to a room where he study magics and worlds.
This is where most of his magical items and books and scrolls locate, all on few bookshelf, some on tables and some on his desk. There are musics discs locate neatly on bookshelf with radios. A couple of headphones locate in a small black box on a drawner in the far corner in living room.
Most of the themes come from Yuuko's shop.
When one enters his kitchen though, they will find alot of alcoholic drinks stores in cabinets and fridge, usually a bottle of sake on japanese coffee table with 2-4 black cushions pillows around the table in living room with two cups, suggesting that he not exactly living there "alone" either, one would wonder just how old he really is, when he look like a teen.

Niha enters his dorm, bringing Elliot behide him with Georgie on his head. "Make yourself home." He said as he went to kitchen and began setting down three cups on the coffee table suggesting that he not actually living alone if Elliot observe it well, he then went back to kitchen and began making tea.
Post by: Yume on October 26, 2012, 01:44:49 am
A 18 year old girl lies in the master bedroom, still sleeping a bit, she finally get up though and yawned a bit. "What a nice dream..." a young woman say to no one quietly. She enters the bathroom from the master bedroom and began to strip off and get in the shower.
Post by: Tayboski on October 26, 2012, 01:54:01 am
Elliot enters Niha's room with his hands in his pockets looking around. "Why is your room so much bigger than mine?" He asks not noticing the 3 cups at first due to him observing everything else instead as he sat down at the table.
Niha softly laughs. "Yeah I used my magic to make it bigger to suit my taste. What kind of tea you want?" He ask as he put down a plate of rice balls on coffee table.
She came out from shower into bedroom, drying off and putting on a jean with a black T-shirt that may seem to be too big as the neck hole is almost like a one shoulder shirt. She wear a dark red tank top underneath with black bras and brushes her hair down. She stretches for moments, getting her body on track.
Elliot thinks for a moment as Georgie hops off of his head and flutters down to the table. "Orange please! With sugar and milk," he says. Then blinks and then laughs as Niha explains why his room is so big.
"Well that's not fair! You get to use your abilities to get this while the rest of us live in rinkey-dink little rooms," he joked. "You should totally do this with my room!"
Niha chuckles as he pour orange with sugar and milik in a cup on table and pets Georgie. "Maybe someday I will do you a favor to your room, maybe." He chuckles as he pours hot pyramid teas in two cups across him. (The table is like a rectangle with two seats on two longer slides and one seat on two shorter side. he went back to kitchen to put the dishes away. "Hope you like the drink." He said as he checks the Cabinet.
Elliot stopped laughing and looked away scratching the back of his head as he accepted his drink. "Well I was just joking, but if you insist then I wouldn't mind...,"the teen said taking a sip as Georgie cooed from the petting before attacking one of the rice balls that was even bigger than he was. Elliot then blinked noticing the extra cup and laughed a bit.
"And I think you joke has gone too far; Georgie doesn't need such a large cup of tea!" The teen laughed a bit as the bird looked around in cute confusion.
Niha look at Elliot with a confuse glance. "This isn't for Georgie, I still looking for his cup." he said and then look at the hallway for a min. "She should be awake by now, though."
He then resume his search for it and finally found it. "Aha! found it!" He pours waters in a cup that was wide yet short enough for Georgie to drink. He set it on the table next to Elliot so it wouldn't fall off easily. He sat down across Elliot and drink his tea.
After she was done stretching, she finally began walking out of hallway and smell the teas. "Niha-kun, were you making teas?" She said as she walk into the living room, she stop in her tracks as she spot Elliot, with her hand over her mouth. After one second she take deep breath once and then went to kitchen to get sugars and milks and pours some in her cup, she sit down next to Niha and look at Elliot. "Hello, I hope you like the teas Niha-kun made." She said while smiles.
Post by: Tayboski on October 26, 2012, 07:56:19 pm
The teen raised an eyebrow. " 'Her'," he asked, but his question was soon answered as he saw a woman walk out of Niha's bedroom. "!!!," The teen's eyes widened in surprise as he immediately thought that Niha was in a serious relationship; something that he hadn't expected from the mage. Elliot turned towards the mage and smiled about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the look Yume gave him out of the corner of his eye and the smile slowly faded from his face.
"That's... odd...," the teen thought. He then nodded at her words and took another sip of his tea as Georgie flailed in a panic before dashing over to the water dish to wash down the sticky rice that almost got caught in his throat. "Yes, it's quite good. Thank you miss...," he trailed off watching her implying that this was the part that she introduced herself. The teen didn't recognize Yume because she had changed so much and he had been through so much, but something about her did seem familiar to the teen.
Post by: Yume on October 26, 2012, 08:01:27 pm
Yume smiles again. "Kasai... I'm Yume Kasai, it nice to see you again, Elliot-kun" She said slowly with a hints of joys.
Elliot spit out his tea shocking pour Georgie to do the same with his water. "What!?!? Yume!?!?! Your Yume," Elliot asked in disbelief. He blinked several times looking her over and finding little evidence that her claim was true. Yet, something about her made him believe it was true, and he began to feel happy as well before stopping and his mood and head dropped. Georgie then looked at him worriedly as he sat there in silence for a long time.
"...What are you doing back here?" Elliot asked coolly when he finally spoke again. He raised his head slightly to look at Yume as he spoke with a cold look in his eyes. A look that one wouldn't give to a beloved friend that they missed.
Yume was startle by his cold look, she try to stay calm and resist her urges to hug him. "...I came back because I want to come back. Things... happen while I disappeared." She adjust her sitting and began explaining. "One day this monster kidnapped me and transported me to another dimensional, another world, a world I never saw... a city, "Japan". "
"I was badly injures by this monster when Niha saved me, he killed the monster. After living with him and Yuuko at their house, Yuuko lifted a curse that was laid on me." She pause and sips her teas.
"Apparently a curse was used when I was a baby. You remember that times i said I lost controls of my powers? That was the curse, it activate when my emotions go out of controls. The tattoo on my shoulder was the curse.
When Yuuko-chan lift the curse off, my appearances changes, she said that this was my true appearances, saying that the curse altered my appearance." She pulls out a letter that Elliot receive where it explains her transfer. "That letter you receive was just something to hide my disappearance, It likely Kyo due to not wanting to bring problems or whatever pranks or confusions." She finish telling her story and sips her tea again, afraid of what Elliot might react.
Niha calmly sips his teas as he listens. Remembering that the guy Yume was friends with before she came to Japan and Elliot was the same person, though Niha sure was surprised.
Elliot's eyes widen a bit and his head lowers as he listens to Yume's story. Once she'd finished, he sat there with his head down, trembling slightly. "I see... excuse me," the teen said and immediately got up and left the room. Georgie looked at Elliot, to Niha and Yume, then back again before bowing nervously towards their hosts and following Elliot out the door before it closed behind him.
Niha looks at Yume and sighs. "He might be shock or something, you alright?" He ask her.
Yume nodded sliently and sit on couch, grabbing the headphones. "I gonna go listen to some musics for a bit. Thanks, Niha, I shoulda said sorry after leaving him though..." She said sadly as she plays her musics and close her eyes.
Niha sigh softly and pets her head. He leave the living room to his magic room and works on a pure black stone he found while giving her an alone times so she can get her emotions calm.

Niha teleport himself and Elliot to his living room and put Elliot gently to couch as the magic circle dissolves into floor. Je went to kitchen to make teas. "Don't worry Yume not here, she at our house, you can ignore me or whatever but just stay here for a moment and relax for once." He said quickly as he stirrs a special tea that would make one person's calm, he got it from Yuuko though, after exchanging it with his tea leaves he found in multiple parts of Forest. To Elliot, Niha might be acting strange.

Elliot blinked in surprise as he sat on the couch, not sure of what to make of everything. Eventually, the teen grit his teeth and began to shake in a silent rage. "What do you want Niha? First, you give me an awesome pet, then then you bring "her" back, now your trying to save me? What do you want from me Niha!?!?"
By the time he'd finished speaking, the teen was on his feet panting with rage as yellow sparks dancing across his body. Deep down, he already knew that Niha wasn't at fault for any of this and that it was wrong of him to take out his rage on him, but since he wasn't able to properly vent his rage before, the teen was still lost as to what he should do. If Niha didn't calm him soon and help him think, then things would get very messy, very fast...
Niha nodded and give him the tea that would make him calms and clear up his messy minds and sat down across him. He stayed silent the whole times as his own mind is conflicted with something else, yet is trying his best to hide it, even when elliot vented his angers on him, he stayed quiet, no emotions changing, but that doesn't change the fact he acting strange as he hold Georgie in his hand, petting it softly, luckily he haven't forgotten the little chocobo...

Niha's silence only served to infuriate Elliot even more. Looking down at the tea, Elliot wanted to throw it across the room, or better yet; in Niha's face, but he doesn't. Instead he controls himself thinking that that would be going too far, though it takes a LOT of difficulty, and slams the cup down on the table spilling some of the tea as he glares at the mage before him.
"Fine. Be that way. Thanks for the save but if you have nothing to say then I'm out of here. Give "Yume-san" my regards," he spat vehemently and began stomping towards the door. As an afterthought, he considered whether or not he should take Georgie with him, but in the end, he decides it may be for the best if he left the bird there for now as he stomped out of the door, and soon out of the dorms heading towards his favorite spot to try and meditate to calm down.
Post by: Kurei § Notai on November 02, 2012, 12:52:09 am
Niha's invisible circles froze Elliot's body from moving, though not letting his body to sores either. He then look at Elliot with a serious expression in a different voice, a man rather, not a old man though but a young man, as if it was his true voice to his true age. "You rather have her died then? Rather let her suffers instead? You rather not be calm instead? Rather get killed yourself? I did not bring her back, she wanted to come back, as her story states, this monster, "Spicent", took her away due to the curse inflicted on her, because it was a dimensional curse, she couldn't come back, and she still couldn't if she didn't pay the "price." I would think you would at least be happy as you two will never meet again, and that you were friends with, yet I see no friendship or happiness in you, why is that? Her price was too great so she paid it half by waiting 3 months, learning the dimensional magic, she worked hard, even knowing that the magic could have fatal side effects, while I paid it half by bringing her here. Rather than me who brought her back, it was Yuuko's idea, and Yume's desires to come back. She coulda died, she coulda forgotten memories, she could suffers, would you be happy then? Never see your friends ever again? That letter you said to receive, i never heard of it, we both didn't, we don't know who sent it to you, it could someone who put the curse on Yume, intending to keep her dead forever. Whatever the case, that in the past, and I expect you to think about it and calm down." During his speech, he was working his magic circles in the drinks Elliot drank, giving him a calm feeling and clearing the mixed feelings, letting him to think calmly.
He then forgotten something silly and added in his normal teen voice. "Oh yeah, Georgie liked you the first time he saw you, the chocobos choose its master, It still a present from me and you choose it, relates to nothing else, it a present, and a friend to you." He said but still have serious expression with his magic circles activating, not letting him go. Georgie chirps cutely at Elliot while jumping on table.
The more Niha spoke, the more Elliot clenched his teeth. His rage continued to build more and more, yellow sparks danced across his body as white ones spurted from the invisible circle. His body twitched and trembled as though Elliot was becoming too wild to restrain until, finally, about halfway through his speech, Elliot screamed, his yellow aura flaring up full force as the teen managed to tap his foot ((strength x4 = 120)).
Even though it was just a tap, the increased impact blasted a hole in the floor breaking the circle ((if it was there)) and simultaneously launched the still glowing Elliot up to the ceiling while sending out a shockwave knocking Niha off balance and disrupting the circle ((if it was an energy circle or simply in the air)). Once Niha caught his balance and looked up, he'd see the teen glaring directly at him with golden, wolf-like eyes and fangs peeking out from his between his lips as his hair bristled a bit to appear like fur. Then, that afterimage would slowly fade revealing another hole in the ceiling ((Speed x3 = 120)) as Niha feels a clawed hand close around his neck and lift him effortlessly into the air. He'll then hear an almost beastly growl escape his lips as the Crescent Moon glared up at his "friend".
"You really think I don't know that," the teen began in a surprisingly calm voice, but make no mistake; his rage and blood lust at the moment was so intense that it was quickly filling the room terrifying the little chocobo as he continued to glare at the mage slowly squeezing his neck tighter.
"Do you REALLY THINK I don't understand? That it's NOT Yume's fault and that I need to apologize? NO! I DO KNOW!!! Never think that I'm the type of **** that DOESN'T KNOW WHEN HE'S WRONG!!!" A wolf's growl escapes his lips as he yells at Niha. Ventus and Aqua enter the room through opposing walls and flinch at the sight of Elliot, they look at each other in a panic as though they don't know what to do as Elliot continues to speak.
"BUT!!! Before you spit your biased, self-righteous BULLSHIT at me, put yourself in my shoes: all my life I've been nothing but a PLAYTHING for women. NONE OF THEM took me seriously as a potential boyfriend NONE! To them, I was merely a DOLL to be dressed in frilly clothing and paraded throughout the town to show off! Could you, with your so-called "infinite wisdom" possibly even BEGIN to comprehend what that kind of life is like!?!? To fall in love AGAIN and AGAIN only to have your heart stepped on, trampled, and tossed aside like it doesn't matter!?!? It makes you JADED! It makes you DISTRUSTING! It makes it HARD TO TRUST and even HARDER TO FALL IN LOVE!!! And then finally, when I THINK I can trust again... When I THINK I can fall in love... the one that I put my trust in VANISHES INTO THIN AIR!!!"
At this point, a single tear rolled down enraged cheeks. The teen blinked as he feels it and uses his free hand to wipe it away staring at it as his grip slightly loosens. Finally, the enraged teen tossed the mage aside like a rag doll onto his couch, which rocked upon his landing. And he turned away as more tears began to stream down his cheeks. "... I thought I was beginning to like her, so of course I was worried... I searched all over for her, and it was also one of my reasons to get stronger as I was prepared to do whatever I needed to to rescue her... every day, every minute, every second I was in the dark, it hurt more and more as I tried to figure out who, what, when, where, and why... and then the letter came... and all my questions were answered; she was just like the rest. Then, my heart began to hurt for different reasons; disbelief, betrayal, even more heartbreak... all those old feelings came rushing back. And I had no choice but to move on or stay stuck on her forever. And that's not my style..."
The harsh feelings the teen was exuding before began to calm along with his golden aura as his wolf-like features slowly began to fade. Then, the teen looked back over his shoulder with eyes that were hurt, almost as though pleading for help as the old pain from years of bullying finally began to seep through; Elliot's emotional armor had finally begun to crack. "Another old love of mine has returned, but she's with my cousin right now, leaving me to deal with a LOT of confusing feelings. And now, during the time when I'm most confused, she returns and you REALLY expect me to remain calm? How UNREASONABLE can you be!?!?"
Ventus and Aqua float over to the teen with worried looks on their faces. The Crescent Moon merely glances up at them and shakes his head before taking slow, almost lifeless steps over to Georgie petting him until he calmed down and then plucked him up and set him on his shoulder. After that he sighed, walking over to the door and opening it before looking back at Niha. "I'm sorry for being like this... and I'm sorry for how I acted towards Yume... but what I need right now is time to recover... so please, just... leave me alone...," Elliot said weakly, almost pleadingly, then, he walked out the door letting it close behind him as he headed towards his favorite spot to meditate.
Before Elliot go out, Niha spoke again in the man voice, however it was switching back and forth to teen voice, suggesting that something isn't right. "Strange, the tea should work, your emotions is out of control." He stood up, with his right arm broken severly and his hairs cover his eyes as he cough bloods from using magics too much and from Elliot's unstable powers, he began to walk pass Elliot and stood in hallway. "I do not exactly sure of what you saying but if it love you want, that not possible. Yume can't love you anymore, she never will anymore, she knew you would not love her again after disappearing like that, she guilty yeah. She came to apology, she was going to apology, to explains, that why she wanted to come back, she never treat you like a girl, she did love you, she couldn't stop thinking about you the whole time even in our cares. She have to paid "it" to come here. I said it before, the price was quite high when she wanted to come back. If you do love her, actually like her, then don't EVER compare her to the other girls like she wasn't special at all. DO NOT treat her the same as other. If you think there a fault, it BOTH of you, you just can't accept your own past, Yume accepted her, but her emotions half-accepted it, she paid the price. I said it before, dimensional magics have a fatal side effects, we let her only use it once with me supporting so she wouldn't die again, it take MANY years to master it. Three months is just too short. I thoguh you two would have a good reunion and she would be happy again. But no, you instead hate her, not wanting her to come back, despite that she got friends here too, you included. She upset from Homura's strange actions too, i not sure but she came to the house in a really upset. She crying now... saying that she shoulda died like you wanted, that no one cared for her anymore, only Freya does. You honestly wanted that...? You can hurt her yourself if that what your true desires." His eyes glare with glowing red as his back and right eyes bleeds dangerously yet he limps slowly, with hints of tear rolling on his left eye."I won't stop you from killing me but don't even hurt Yume... Ventus, Aquas, I know you two are there, I request you two to accompany him for awhile, he unstable and need you two in there. I don't think he loves Yume anymore like Yume hoped, even if it just a friend. Pure hates, that what she feared the most. I just a person to saved her, so it wasn't my business to meddles her life, yet the curse intervene and i appear in her world by fate. That monster was really strong, I don't think you know this nor does she... but Yume actually died. If I died, don't you dare let anyone hurt her... "After he said the last part, it was a whisper but loud enough for Elliot to hear as he left the dorm, with his back toward Elliot, while coughing out bloods.
During Niha's speech, he gave hints that Yume actually died during Spicent attack, but revived for unknown reasons.
As niha limps through the hallway, his bend down, trying to endure the pains erupted in him due to his powers unstable for using too much. He doesn't even knowing the answer why he doing this but as he think more, his broken right leg finally gave out, and he fall down front, his body began to get inflicted by more wounds, he grunts in pains, bleeding internal too."Tsk... damn... not now... not here... damn..." He sliently say it as he tries to crawl but the magic circle stop the nerve in his hands. He curses slienlty as his conscious finally fades to darkness. But not before saying one last word outloud. "Damn you... Kihvena." he said as he finally limps, if one to find him, they would see that he almost dead, as his heartbeat beats slowly very slow.
Elliot didn't exactly know why he stopped when he heard Niha's cracking voice. Maybe it was because he was worried about his friend's condition? Somewhere in the back of his mind however, he was beginning to regret it the more and more the mage spoke. Sighing heavily about halfway through Niha's second rant, the teen lowered his head pinching the bridge of his nose and shaking his head.
"This guy just doesn't get it," he thinks. This time, the teen doesn't even start to get mad again; he was too tired from his previous outburst now and it would be a waste of time and energy at this point anyway. Instead, much to Ventus and Aqua's relief, even though some of Niha's words offend him, the Crescent Moon merely mentally calls him a baka several times and tones out the rest of Niha's rant instead focusing on Niha's condition, which appeared to be getting worse and worse by the second.
Eventually, the teen holds up his hand to tell Niha to stop and if that doesn't work, he'll cover Niha's mouth, "Hey you don't look so good dude, are you sure you should be up and about?" His question is then answered when Niha collapses and Elliot sighs in disbelief. "You've gotta be kidding me...," the teen said with another sigh and picked the mage up throwing him over his shoulder fireman-style. Okay, where the hell was that nurses office again?" Elliot then carried Niha out of the dorm in search of a hospital or other place of healing for his stupid friend.
-is picked up and mutters softly "baka... Kihvena..." Suggesting that he was worried about him the whole time and didn't understand the whole situation, he was just too blind to it, though the word Kihvena may seem unknown.
His bracelet flickers and Yuuko's image appear. "The boy misunderstand the situation and tries to help, and almost died in the end, correct?" She said, agreeing on Elliot. She looks at him again. "You can take him to his house, he got heal stones that can heal his injures, he used too much magics so it hurt him in recoils, all magics have restrictions and side effect, in his case, it the harmful ones, if he uses it too much, it will harm the user, that why he here, to works on that and on his natural abilities, of course he doesn't know about it, that why he use it without thinking. I hope you would help him on that though. Just take him to house and put the heal stone on his body, he will be fine after a full day rest. You can leave him alone after you put the stone." She said quickly as the heal stones teleport in Elliot's hands and the image flickers. "Seeya, Tiger-kun." She snickers as her image dissolve.
Elliot didn't care that the woman called him "tiger-kun" when she left because he was to busy blinking at the stone that had appeared in his hand and wondered If this was the heal stone, then why did he need to take Niha to his house? Why not set him up here in his Dorm room? Regardless, the teen shrugged and decided to do what the witch said. He recalled that Niha said that Yume was there earlier. And though he didn't particularly wish to see Yume right now, he didn't want to leave the mage all alone in his dorm either.
Finally, the teen let out one more haggared sigh, and began to make his way towards Niha's new home hoping he wouldn't get lost trying to find the place.
As Elliot thinks about the dorm, an explosions appeared in Niha's dorm, senting shockwaves in Elliot's way, though not exactly powerful to push him away. If one to look in, it would look like a bomb exploded, all of stuffs been shredded and ripped, all wall been scratched and alot of craters. It like a bomb or a being or unstable powers destroyed his dorm. If Elliot look in there, he might actually be glad that he rather put Niha in his house instead of Dorm.
[ I alway wanted to do this xD ]
Elliot's eyes widens at the chaos and he blinks, "house it is then..." And with that, he left taking Niha to his home.


BARTOW — Just weeks after the city inaugurated its own 40-acre solar farm, the Bartow city commissioners Monday night cleared the way for Tampa Electric Co. to harness even more solar power in the city.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the land-use designation and zoning for a 417-acre solar farm on the city's east side. It's one of two such farms that Tampa Electric, or TECO, plans to build in Bartow. The other proposed project, located along E. F. Griffin Road south of County Road 540A, already has the required land use and zoning approvals, but commissioners must approve a development agreement with TECO before construction can begin.

The personal payments space has been heating up lately, with Visa announcing its Personal Payments system, Amex rolling out its digital payment and commerce platform called Serve, and MasterCard also forming its plans for its own personal payments offering.
Not to be left behind, Discover has partnered with PayPal to establish its own payments system dubbed Discover Money Messenger. Discover Money Messenger allows Discover Card holders to send money to nearly anyone for free, and earn rewards on the money sent at the same time.
As the person sending the money, you do not need to have a PayPal account. The recipient of the funds, however, does need to have a PayPal account to claim the funds, though they need not be a Discover cardholder.
Sending money is free and the amount is charged to your Discover card account like a purchase that earns rewards. If you're sending money to friends or family, there are no fees charged to them to accept the money, but if you are sending money to a business, PayPal will assess the business a fee to claim the funds.
There are account limits to how much you can send per day and per month, and not all Discover cardmembers are eligible for the service, though Discover is not explicitly stating what the criteria are for eligibility. Discover does state that some factors which determine your eligibility are temporary, which means that you may be able to use the service in the future even if you aren't immediately eligible.

Too many students leave our K-16 schools numerically illiterate and wanting little to do with mathematics. This session focused on how the Standards for Mathematical Practice can be employed and developed as students learn to reason with and about number. We examined how daily practice with mental arithmetic can develop productive habits of mind, and enhance students' understanding of the arithmetic properties and place value while building a more solid foundation for geometric and algebraic reasoning.

Q: Backup a remote directory with duplicity Is it possible to backup a remote directory to a local path?
Using two URL in the command raises
Two URLs specified.  One argument should be a path.

Using only one for the remote but specifying the full option raises
--full option cannot be used when restoring or verifying

What I tried looks like
duplicity full ssh://username@remote:XXXX/home/username /media/removabledrive/

with XXXX being a custom port for ssh.

A: Duplicity doesn't support remote sources, so there is no way to do this without tricks like suggested by @blubberdiblub.
It have disappointed me when I found the issue, although they don't call this as an issue: https://answers.launchpad.net/duplicity/+question/143932

A: Why not just mount the remote path into your local filesystem tree using sshfs, cifs, nfs or some other facility of your choosing?
If you do that, you can specify two local paths to duplicity and it shouldn't notice that one of the paths is actually on a remote node (make sure you choose the remote file system that exports attributes like permissions etc. in a way you want and also make sure you use correct mount options - which is especially important for samba/cifs, since its defaults are not very unix-ish).
For a Debian or Debian derivatives (like Ubuntu):

apt-get install sshfs

Then:

mkdir -p /mnt/remote &&
sshfs username@remote:/home/username /mnt/remote

After that succeeds, do your backup from /mnt/remote to your local backup path, then

umount /mnt/remote

Also check out man sshfs to see what options might apply to your use case.

A: From what I understand, supplying remote path followed by local path imposes restoring data, which should be a full restore by default.
"full" parameter is only valid for making backups:
   full   Indicate full backup.  If this is set, perform full backup  even
          if signatures are available.

   incr   If  this  is  requested an incremental backup will be performed.
          Duplicity will abort if old signatures  cannot  be  found.   The
          default is to switch to full backup under these conditions.

So this command: duplicity full /home/me scp://uid@other.host/some_dir will make a full backup of /home/me to remote host/some_dir. Full/incr only applies to MAKING backups, not restoring.
If you want to restore only certain path, then use:
--file-to-restore path
              This option may be given in restore mode, causing only  path  to
              be  restored  instead  of  the  entire  contents  of  the backup
              archive.  path should be given  relative  to  the  root  of  the
              directory backed up.
According to documentation here: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man1/duplicity.1.html , what happens is:

When  restoring,  duplicity  applies patches in order, so deleting, for
         instance, a full backup set may make related  incremental  backup  sets
         unusable.

Also, last remark about the "ssh://" part. Try using scp/sftp, as according to documentation:

A NOTE ON SSH/SCP PROTOCOLS

   Duplicity specifies two protocol names for the same protocol.  This  is
   a  known  and  user-confusing issue.  Both use the same protocol suite,
   namely ssh through its' utility routines scp and sftp.  Older  versions
   of  duplicity used scp for get and put operations and sftp for list and
   delete  operations.   The  current  version  uses  sftp  for  all  four
   supported  operations, unless the --use-scp option is used to revert to
   old behavior.  The change was made to all-sftp in order  to  allow  the
   remote system to chroot the backup, thus providing better security.

A: Looking at the documentation here: http://duplicity.nongnu.org/docs.html
 It looks like you should be issuing this:
duplicity full ssh://username@remote:XXXX//home/username /media/removabledrive/

Notice the double // after the host:port

The problem is that the seekbar goes out of the margin and I'm not able to fix this problem.

A: Try this
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Welcome Barbara. If you could have dinner with one person from today or history (except Jesus) who would it be? Why?
I would like to dine with the woman at the well in John 4:1-22. I would want to know what Jesus was like, and what he did the days following her conversion when he met the people of her town. I would also like to find out how she felt about herself before and after she met Jesus.
I am a terrible typist so all my books are written on notepads. I did try to take a typing class in high school, but I was placed in biology instead. I never went back and taught myself the skill.
This October is special for me as I am a breast cancer survivor! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and last year I was newly diagnosed with breast cancer. God is faithful and now I am feeling great.
This is easy. Any beach in Hawaii is my favorite spot. One of my novels is set on the island of Oahu and I hope to go back and visit someday. Sequel anyone?
I enjoy walking. Sometimes I figure out a scene or a plot point while I am on a walk. Summers in Wisconsin are short, so I enjoy the flower-filled landscape when I can, and it's always fun to spot deer—but not when they're by the road.
Please tell us a little about your novel, Providence: Hannah's Journey.
Determined to restore her family's honor, Hannah escapes Jerusalem in hopes of finding the prophet and convincing him to heal her deformities. Gilead, a young Hebrew guard sympathetic to her plight, willingly accompanies her. On their way, they are captured by a band of raiders.
Here's a Book Trailer too!
Where can readers purchase Providence: Hannah's Journey?
Thanks for having me on your blog today, Jo. I appreciate the opportunity to share my story with your readers.
I am a big fan of chocolate. What is your favorite chocolate shop, bar, or treat?

Barbara, I have two favorite chocolate treats I like. Homemade chocolate pie and homemade chocolate chip cookies. I would love to read your book, thinks Jo for the chance and enjoyed the interview.
I am a follower Jo!!!
Hi Pamela! I am a big fan of warm chocolate chip cookies. I've never made a chocolate pie, but it sounds wonderful. Thanks for stopping by today.
Pamela, I appreciate your commenting and also following my blog!
I am not a big fan of chocolate. I would prefer something tart or sour.
Is this book a park of a series?
Hi Sonnetta. My second favorite dessert item behind chocolate would be anything with lemon. My mom always made a lemon meringue pie for Thanksgiving and it was tart!
"Providence" is the first book in the Tribes of Israel series. "Building Benjamin: Naomi's Journey" releases in e-book on February 10th and in print, April 1st. That is an Old Testament story, too, from Judges 19-21.
Hi Sonja. I'm glad you like my cover. I like it too. I gave input into what would be on the cover, but my publisher designs it. Pelican did a wonderful job. I've had some hazelnut chocolate from Belgium. Is that similar to German chocolate?
I like Reece's too, Elly. I have a bar recipe that is similar. It includes peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.
Elly, thanks for commenting. I see your email address below.
I love fudge in just about any form, also Lindt Lindor truffles!
Yes, I have a fudge recipe made with marshmallows and it is yummy. I like the Lindt truffles too.
Patty, thanks for your comment. I see your email address below.
Here I see my email address!
Oooooo! Chocolate is one of my favorite things.....candy, pie, cake......love, love, love it!
Oh me...... Miss Jo, you know I am a follower and here is my email address..
I wish I didn't like it so much. I'm supposed to watch my sugar intake because I am a breast cancer survivor, the dietitian at the hospital said she wouldn't tell us to not eat chocolate. I liked her!
Melanie, thanks for commenting and following my blog!
Having been to Hawaii, I will be looking forward to reading the sequel. I am a follower.
My novel set in Hawaii is a YA novel. It's hasn't seen the light of day, or publishing yet. My next novel is set north of Jerusalem near Gibeah. I thought you were going to say you like pineapple desserts. Thanks for leaving a comment.
Love biblical fiction. Thanks for the giveaway!
MH, you're welcome. Thanks for leaving your comment.
I'm so glad you like Biblical fiction. I enjoy writing it.
Hi Terrill. I like your name. Dark chocolate is my favorite too, except my family likes it and has no problem eating candy that has been gifted to me. Thanks for commenting.
My favorite are Hershey's Kisses!!
rubynreba, thanks for coming by and leaving your comment. I appreciate your following my blog!
Hi Rubynreba. Good choice. The Cheesecake Factory has an amazing Hershey chocolate cheesecake. Do you make peanut butter blossom cookies?
As you probably know, I'm a big fan of See's Candies (I think I've run into you there after our Wisconsin RWA meetings!). My favorite Sees chocolates are the Scotchmallows - our whole family loves them!
Hi Carla. I think those ladies at See's know me on sight. I grew up with See's Candies. Good choice with the Scotchmallows.
I LOVE Biblical fiction! This one sounds awesome!
Thank you, Caryl. I'm a big fan of Biblical fiction and dark chocolate. If I pop into a Godiva store for my free piece, it's always the Midnight Swirl--all dark chocolate.

Q: What to do after hitting the dreaded 256 max connections Apache Limit After scratching my head trying to figure out why my site was responding so slowly even though the server resources are fine, I finally checked the Apache status and found:
78 requests/sec - 0.7 MB/second - 8.5 kB/request
256 requests currently being processed, 0 idle workers

It appears that my apache is literally maxed out with connections. Anyone trying to visit my site gets put on a "waiting list" until Apache is free again.
It seems I have two options.
A) Raise the max connections limit above 256. Although according to this article it's not so easy:

By default, the MaxClients parameter has a compiled in hard limit of
  256. This can be changed by recompiling Apache however. Some distributions, or hosting companies raise this limit to a very high
  value, such as 512 or even 1024 in order to cope with large loads.

B) Locate scripts that are taking up too much time. This seems a lot more tricky to me, since most apache processes just appear and then disappear again. Also, my sites PHP scripts are optimized pretty well...and once again, server resources are fine:
Server load 2.69 (8 CPUs)
Memory Used 25.33% (2,039,108 of 8,048,804)
Swap Used   1.32% (54,156 of 4,095,992)

Which option (if either of them) should I chose and how should I do it?
EDIT
More information:
Server Version: Apache/2.2.23 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.23 OpenSSL/1.0.0-fips DAV/2 mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635
HTTP Conf: http://pastebin.com/yBeLt6mP
Parital Request sample: http://pastebin.com/vzUVDMPR
Toggle Text-Wrap if the paste-bins show up weird.

A: That article is inaccurate; MaxClients can be raised above 256 when using the prefork MPM (which is what I assume you're using currently based on your description of the problem).  From the documentation:

For non-threaded servers (i.e., prefork), MaxClients translates into the maximum number of child processes that will be launched to serve requests. The default value is 256; to increase it, you must also raise ServerLimit.

ServerLimit is the one that has the hard-compiled limit, but it's way past where you should ever reach without your server running into some other bottleneck.  Documentation:

There is a hard limit of ServerLimit 20000 compiled into the server (for the prefork MPM 200000). This is intended to avoid nasty effects caused by typos.

So, if you want to raise your client limit to something like 512, then:
MaxClients 512
ServerLimit 512

You should also take a look at which MPM you're using, as MPMs other than prefork are better for scale.  See here for more information.

A: I would suggest that you use a reverse proxy, something like nginx or lighttpd can handle many more connections than apache.
Depending on how your sites use htaccess you can also use nginx/lighttpd with fcgi and forego apache completely.

Q: Android: update SQLite table used in another app I've written an app that sorts Poweramp playlists, and it works all right.  The only issue I'm running into is performance, and I think that's because I call getContentResolver().update on each row.  Ideally, I'd love to be able to use a SQLite transaction.  applyBatch and bulkInsert won't work, as I need to have a WHERE clause with each row update--I essentially have to update an index table, which has multiple playlists and their songs.
From what I understand, I won't be able to access Poweramp's database directly through SQLite, as I've read I need to have the same app signature or something? Maybe someone can clarify that.  It seems like my only hope is to maybe override ContentResolver's applyBatch method or add my own (from this thread)?  Although, I'm not entirely sure how to override that... the code in that thread already seems to have overridden the class somehow.  I also don't think it uses an outside DB.
Any hints as to where I should look, or if there's already an answer out there, that'd be excellent.

A: What I ended up doing was going with ContentProviderOperation and getContentResolver().applyBatch (thanks to @MatPag giving the advice that it's possible)... this now runs a whole lot faster, and I don't get the Wait messages anymore.  The key part to applyBatch is you must wrap it in a try..catch, which isn't obvious by the Android Studio error that it reports. Here's the final code:
Cursor songs = createPlaylistCursor(sort);
if (songs.moveToFirst()) {
    int i = 0;
    Uri playListUri = getPlaylistUri();
    ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation> cs = new ArrayList<ContentProviderOperation>();
    do {
        cs.add(ContentProviderOperation.newUpdate(playListUri)
          .withSelection("folder_file_id=" + songs.getInt(songs.getColumnIndexOrThrow("folder_files._id")), null)
          .withValue("sort", i++)
          .build());
    } while (songs.moveToNext());
    try {
        getContentResolver().applyBatch("com.maxmpz.audioplayer.data", cs);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
    }
}

Local utilities corporations offer complete services, while a few national giants and lower priced competitors are also available to purchase power from. In Neuss it is possible to order power, gas and water all from the same semi-public owned utility company, Stadtwerke Neuss, which is owned by Stadt Neuss.
Waste disposal is a highly complex matter, with competition relatively low. Recycling is traditionally very strong in Germany as a whole, with stores legally obliged to dispose of packaging if the customer so desires.
Expect similar confusing tariffs for power as in other countries. Once the deal has been signed, commitment can be quite lengthy, normally twelve months.
In Germany, the cost of electricity is not normally included in the additional charges (Nebenkosten) when renting a house or flat, so a decision needs to be made concerning power supplies. Stadtwerke Neuss is the local utilities company of choice.
The tap water in Neuss possesses such a high quality that it does not need to be chlorinated. On its way to the consumer, water is treated and cleaned through an extensive process. By then it is highly drinkable, however, Germans still generally drink mineral water.
While consumers in Neuss can choose between many suppliers, a majority of inhabitants rely on the Stadtwerke Neuss. Since 1883, the portfolio of today's company has steadily been moulded to fulfill all the perceived needs of the residents of Neuss.
The local company that collects refuse is partly in the hands of the town of Neuss and the system is efficient and reliable. Aiming to save important resources, the Germans are famous for having one of the most efficient recycling systems in the world.

        2: n.gender,

        6: n.Id
      }
      arrtest[i] = n.Id;
      return arr_temp;
    });

A: Try this:
var date = new Date(parseInt(x.substr(6)));

JsFiddle
substr removes the /Date( part and parseInt ignores it at the end, passing the final result into the Date constructor.
function OnSuccess(response) {
  var objdata = (response.d);
  var pm = JSON.parse(objdata);
  var len = objdata.length;
  arr = $.map(pm, function(n, i) {
    var arr_temp = {
      0: n.Id,
      1: n.name,
      2: n.gender,
      3: n.pincode,
      4: n.City,
      5: n.DOB = new Date(parseInt(n.DOB.substr(6))),
      6: n.Id
    }
    arrtest[i] = n.Id;
    return arr_temp;
  });

Dylan Van Baarle: "Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix are my biggest dreams"
Garmin-Sharp made no less than nine transfers for 2014 and one of the smartest move was offering a contract to Dylan Van Baarle, who had an impressive 2013 season in the U23 ranks, winning the GC of Olympia's Tour and Thüringen-Rundfahrt, as well as both national titles (road race and time trial). A cyclist with a huge "engine", thanks to which he often time trials his way to a win, Van Baarle likes cobbles, short hills, and bad weather and is poised to become one of the best Classics riders in the world.
This year, he will make his debut at the Tour of Dubai, and there's a good chance he will also ride some Northern Classics. Before his first race with Garmin-Sharp, Dylan made some time for this interview, in which you can find out more about thim.
– Dylan, why Garmin-Sharp, and not Belkin?
Because when Garmin gave me a contract, Belkin wasn't there. They didn't had a sponsor at that moment. Also, Garmin gave me so much trust.
– What will be your role in the US team this year?
I'm a Classics rider, so they want me to develop into a good Classics rider. In 2014 I will try to become much stronger and gain experience in the Classics, where hopefully I can do my work for Nick Nuyens, Johan Vansummeren and Sebastian Langeveld. The experience from the big races will be very important for the future.
– What's your racing schedule for the first months?
First I will do the Tour of Dubai. Afterwards, the team will announce what will be the next races.
– Charles Wegelius said you can be a great Classics rider in the future. Do you agree or do you see yourself capable of becoming an all-rounder, with results also in week-long stage races?
I agree with him. But I can also do my thing in stage races like the Eneco Tour. We will see what this year brings me and then we can say what kind of rider I am.
– Speaking of this, what races do you dream of winning?
My biggest dream is to win the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. I like very much these races since I was little.
– In 2013 you had an excellent first half of the season, but afterwards you didn't get any more wins. What happened?
Nothing particular happened, I was just preparing myself for the Worlds. Besides that, my opponents keeped a constant eye on me in every race and in this conditions is not easy to get so many wins.
– In Firenze you came with the first chasing group in the road race and finished 23rd the time trial. How were these two experiences?
On the day of the time trail I was not on my best. You must have a very good day to be on the podium. In the road race I don't think I could have done better.
– You had many great wins in the last years, as a U23 rider. Which of these would you rate as the most important or beautiful?
The most important was Thuringen Rundfahrt. As for the most beautiful, I have to say the National road race, but also Olympia's Tour stands high on my list.
– For two seasons now, you're being hailed as one of the most promising Dutch riders. Does this bring an extra pressure, knowing that people expect results as soon as possible?
Not at this moment. Maybe it was a good decision that I signed with Garmin-Sharp. Now I can perform a little bit in the shadow of Sebastian Langeveld in the Classics.


Question Need help regarding JoyToKey and controllers (self.emulation) submitted 3 years ago by MasterRacing I noticed recently that my Windows Xbox 360 controller has developed a common problem, in that the left analog stick is always very, very slightly tilted upwards.... Not sure what kind of settings you're looking for. I thought JtK was configurable so you can set up your joystick\controller\whatever any way you like.
Page 1 of 3 - How to use a Xbox 360 Gamepad for Morrowind PC - posted in Morrowind Discussion: I have found a way to use a Xbox 360 Gamepad for Morrowind on many blogs. It is not the same as on Xbox. To activate things in menus press RT. And you will only get 3 quick keys. If you like the Oblivion controls better use Morrowblivion but if you how to see who stalks your facebook page 30/03/2013 · Xpadder certainly works, I used it until I found out that JoyToKey's last version had been updated with most of the functions Xpadder had. I do remember that it was tricky to set up and that I also though the game didn't recognize it.

MWO does not seem to recognize non-analog / non-digital joysticks.
I knew about joytokey for a while, new to it and its wicked. I play all sorts of things using it ( games that warrant a controller anyway) I did not know you could drag the config into joytokey... Very cool find, diamond to you sir.
6/09/2014 · I've copied these files to another machine that uses Launch Box, set up JoyToKey in Rocket Launcher via the tutorial link below, and found it working beautifully. MAME is a bit of a jerk, however. Sometimes it works straight away and sometimes you still have to map the game within the MAME TAB menu.
