Q: C++ Converting char to byte array I need to be able to convert a QString in this format:
"0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00"
To a byte array like this:
0x00,
0x00,
0x00,
0x00

I was able to do this in Visual Studio / C# like this:
byte[] bytes = string.Split(' ').Select(s => Convert.ToByte(s, 16)).ToArray();

However I am now using Qt / C++ and I need a way to do the same thing.
What would be the easiest way to do this?

A: Not the most concise solution, but at least safe, I guess (invalid values are not appended):
QString string = "0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00";
QByteArray bytes;

for(auto const& x : string.split(' '))
{
    bool ok;
    uint val = x.toUInt(&ok, 16);

    if(ok && val <= 0xff)
        bytes.append(static_cast<char>(val));
}

This might be faster (invalid values are left equal to 0):
QString string = "0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00";
QStringList list = string.split(' ');
QByteArray bytes(list.size(), '\0');

for(size_t i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i)
{
    bool ok;
    uint val = list[i].toUInt(&ok, 16);

    if(ok && val <= 0xff)
        bytes[i] = static_cast<char>(val);
}

You can omit the check in both cases, if all you want is speed.


I used 2x12 non-pressure treated boards for the treads. A couple of carpenters told me the treads should be ripped into two 5 3/4" treads to avoid splitting and cupping of the stairs in a couple of years. Any advice on this?
They're right, the 2x12s will probably split in a few years. I usually just make my treads out of 2x6s. If it's a big job to remove them, I would leave it until they warp or split. If the boards will be painted, don't worry about it; if they split, just fill up the split with a latex or silicone caulking, repaint and no one will know the difference. If you decide to take them off, which I don't advise, be sure to leave a 3/16" air space between the two boards. You might just split them the wrong way by removing them.

Publications listed by number - CRA
GI-036 Beverages
From: Canada Revenue Agency
GST/HST Info Sheet GI-036
This info sheet describes how the GST/HST applies to beverages. Detailed information on beverages is available in GST/HST Memorandum 4.3, Basic Groceries.
In this publication, "taxable" means subject to the GST/HST at 6% or 14%. "Zero-rated" means subject to the GST/HST at 0%.
Sales of basic groceries, which include most food and beverages marketed for human consumption, are zero-rated. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) considers beverages to be goods that an average consumer would recognize and purchase in the ordinary course of buying basic groceries, and would consume to sustain or maintain life, to allay thirst, or for enjoyment. On the other hand, a product marketed for its beneficial effects and added to a beverage as a means of consuming the product would not be considered a beverage.
The following products are not considered beverages for GST/HST purposes, and therefore are not covered in this info sheet:
meal replacement products and nutritional supplements that meet the criteria set out in the Food and Drugs Act;
dietary fibre added to water or juice as a means of consuming the fibre; and
therapeutic or preventative products in liquid form that are consumed for the treatment or prevention of a disease.
Products that are consumed for their therapeutic or beneficial effects (referred to in this info sheet as dietary supplements) are not basic groceries, and consequently sales of these products are taxable. For more information on how to determine whether a product is considered a dietary supplement, refer to GST/HST Info Sheet (GI-001), Products Commonly Described as "Dietary Supplements".
Beverages may be taxable or zero-rated. For purposes of this info sheet, beverages are grouped into the following categories:
serving size and packaging format
fruit juices and fruit-flavoured beverages
vegetable juice beverages
syrups, crystals, and powders added to water to form a beverage
milk and milk-based beverages
soy and rice-based beverages
beverages sold under certain conditions
heated for consumption
dispensed at a place where sold
catered beverages
sales through a vending machine
sales in establishments
Information on the application of the GST/HST to water is available in GST/HST Info Sheet (GI-022), Application of the GST/HST to Sales of Water.
Wine, spirits, beer, malt liquor or other alcoholic beverages as well as de-alcoholized beer and de-alcoholized wine are taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format. De-alcoholized beer and de-alcoholized wine, whether imported or produced domestically, are considered to be beer and wine for GST/HST purposes.
This category does not include cooking wines sold and represented as condiments. Cooking wines generally have a high salt content and are not suitable for consumption as a beverage. Therefore, cooking wines are zero-rated.
Product A is marketed as a non-alcoholic beer. It contains 0.5% alcohol, and is sold in 350 millilitres (mL) cans that are pre-packaged by the manufacturer in 6 or 12 packs.
Product A is an alcoholic beverage even though it contains very little alcohol. Product A is taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format.
Carbonated beverages are taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format. Examples include carbonated soft drinks, mixers such as tonic and soda water, carbonated mineral water, sparkling water, carbonated juices, and non-alcoholic malt beverages.
Many establishments operate soda fountains. These fountains are operated with cylinders of pre-mix or post-mix. Pre-mix is a carbonated beverage. It is supplied in a cylinder and contains all the syrups and CO2 required. The operator attaches this to the fountain and the fountain dispenses a carbonated beverage. Pre-mix acquired by such establishments is taxable. Post-mix contains other ingredients for a carbonated beverage but does not contain CO2. Post-mix is zero-rated.
Product B is marketed as a sparkling natural fruit juice. It is sold in 500 mL bottles and 6-packs pre-packaged by the manufacturer.
Product B is a carbonated beverage and is taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format.
For GST/HST purposes, most single servings of a beverage are servings that are less than 600 mL in volume.
The beverage categories listed below are non-carbonated forms of particular beverages. Non-carbonated beverages that are otherwise zero-rated may be taxable when sold in single servings. This does not include unflavoured milk.
Such beverages would continue to be zero-rated when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer or producer, or when the container in which the beverage is sold contains a quantity exceeding a single serving.
Beverages that are prepared and pre-packaged specially for consumption by babies are zero-rated, regardless of serving size and packaging format. However, as discussed under the heading "Beverages sold under certain conditions" such beverages may be taxable.
Fruit juices and fruit-flavoured beverages (excluding milk-based beverages) that contain less than 25% by volume of a natural fruit juice are taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format.
Fruit juices and fruit-flavoured beverages (excluding milk-based beverages) that contain 25% or more by volume of a natural fruit juice are taxable when sold in a single serving. Such beverages are zero-rated when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer, and when sold in a container with a quantity exceeding a single serving.
Frozen fruit juice beverage concentrates are zero-rated if the percentage of natural fruit juice in the concentrate is 25% or more by volume. If the percentage of natural fruit juice in the concentrate is less than 25% by volume, the concentrate is taxable.
Iced tea beverages, whether fruit flavoured or not, are considered tea and are taxable when sold in a single serving. Iced tea beverages sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer or in containers with a quantity exceeding a single serving are zero-rated.
The percentage of fruit juice content does not apply to milk-based beverages. The term "milk-based" refers to a beverage that has milk (e.g., whole, skimmed, and partly-skimmed) as the main ingredient.
Product C is a 100% pure apple juice. It is sold in grocery stores in individual 250 mL boxes as well as in 250 mL boxes pre-packaged by the manufacturer in sets of 3, and in one litre boxes.
Product C is a fruit juice beverage with greater than 25% total natural fruit juice content. Product C is taxable when sold in single serving 250 mL boxes. Product C is zero-rated when sold in 250 mL boxes pre-packaged by the manufacturer in sets of 3 and in the one litre boxes.
Product D is a fruit juice beverage. The product label states it contains 20% real fruit juice. It is available in individual 250 mL boxes, in 250 mL boxes pre-packaged by the manufacturer in sets of 3, and in one litre boxes.
Product D is a fruit juice beverage with less than 25% total natural fruit juice content, and is taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format.
Product E is a fruit-juice-blend beverage. The product label states it contains 15% pure apple juice and 15% pure raspberry juice. It is sold in convenience stores and is available in individual 250 mL boxes and in one litre boxes.
Product E is a fruit juice beverage with more than 25% total natural fruit juice content. Product E is taxable when sold in 250 mL boxes. Product E is zero-rated when sold in one litre boxes.
Product F is a non-carbonated fruit-punch-flavoured sports beverage. It contains fruit flavourings, but does not contain any real fruit juice. It is sold in 350 mL and 750 mL bottles.
Product F is a fruit-flavoured beverage with less than 25% natural fruit juice, and is taxable regardless of serving size.
Product G is a strawberry-flavoured skim milk beverage that is sold in grocery stores in 250 mL cartons and in one litre cartons. It contains no real fruit juice.
Product G is a milk-based beverage, and therefore the percentage of fruit juice content does not have an effect on its tax status. Product G is taxable when sold in 250 mL cartons. Product G is zero-rated when sold in one litre cartons.
(Detailed information on milk-based beverages is found below under the heading "Milk and milk-based beverages".)
The application of the GST/HST to juices that are vegetable based (e.g., tomato, carrot) depends on whether they are fruit flavoured and their serving size.
Where a vegetable juice beverage is fruit flavoured and contains 25% or more natural fruit juice, it is zero-rated when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer, or when sold in containers with a quantity exceeding a single serving. When sold in single servings, it is taxable.
Where a vegetable juice beverage is fruit flavoured and contains less than 25% natural fruit juice, it is taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format. Only the natural fruit juice content, and not the natural vegetable juice content, is taken into account when determining if the 25% natural fruit juice content is met.
Where a vegetable juice beverage is not fruit flavoured, it is zero-rated when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer, or when sold in a container with a quantity exceeding a single serving, provided the beverage is not sold under certain conditions (see the information under the heading "Beverages sold under certain conditions"). When sold in single servings, it is taxable.
Although less than 600 mL in volume is considered a quantity that is a single serving, in very exceptional circumstances, the CRA will consider characteristics other than volume to determine whether a container of a beverage holds a single serving. The CRA will consider the characteristics of the beverage itself as well as the manner in which it is packaged, marketed and promoted to determine if it is a single serving. For example, a 540 mL can of vegetable juice that is sealed without a built-in opening device and that is not marketed as a single serving would not be considered a single serving.
Product H is a tomato juice beverage that is sold in supermarkets in 250 mL cans with a pull-tab opener, in 540 mL sealed cans without a built-in opener and in one litre boxes.
Product H is a beverage that is not a fruit-flavoured or a fruit juice beverage. Product H is taxable when sold in 250 mL cans with pull-tab openers. Product H is zero-rated when sold in 540 mL sealed cans and in the one litre boxes.
Product I is an orange and pineapple-flavoured carrot juice beverage. It contains 20% natural orange juice, 10% natural pineapple juice and 20% natural carrot juice. It is sold in convenience stores in 500 mL bottles and in 1.5 litre bottles.
Product I is a fruit juice beverage that contains 30% total natural fruit juice (orange and pineapple). Product I is taxable when sold in 500 mL bottles. Product I is zero-rated when sold in 1.5 litre bottles.
Product J is a fruit-punch-flavoured carrot juice beverage. It contains 30% natural carrot juice and fruit flavourings. It does not contain any natural fruit juice. Product J is sold in 500 mL bottles, in 6-packs of 500 mL bottles pre-packaged by the manufacturer, and in 1.5 litre bottles.
Product J is a fruit-flavoured beverage that contains less than 25% natural fruit juice and is taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format.
Syrups, crystals, and powders added to water
Products such as syrups, crystals, powders, and flavourings for making beverages that are added to water to form a fruit-flavoured beverage and contain little or no actual fruit juice are taxable.
This does not include products added to liquids other than water (e.g., milk) to form a beverage. Products added to milk to form a beverage are zero-rated.
As well, this category of beverage does not include products added to water to form a beverage that is not fruit flavoured such as vanilla, chocolate, instant coffee, and flavoured coffees or teas. These products are zero-rated.
Further, lemon and other fruit-flavoured iced tea powders, crystals or concentrates are considered teas and are zero-rated.
The amount of syrup, crystal or powder packaged and sold has no impact on the application of tax.
Product K is a lemon-flavoured sports drink powder. It is added to water to form a lemon-flavoured sports drink beverage.
Product K produces a fruit-flavoured beverage when added to water. It is taxable.
Product L is labelled as a lemon-flavoured iced tea powder. It is added to water to produce an iced tea beverage.
Product L is considered a tea and is zero-rated.
Product M is strawberry-flavoured syrup that is added to milk to produce a beverage.
Product M is fruit flavoured, however, it is not added to water to form a beverage. Product M is zero-rated.
Product N is a powdered caramel-flavoured coffee that is added to hot water to produce a flavoured coffee beverage.
Product N does not produce a fruit-flavoured beverage. It is zero-rated.
The term milk refers to whole, skimmed and partly skimmed milk. It does not include non-animal source beverages such as soy or rice beverages. Milk-based beverages have milk as the main ingredient.
Unflavoured milk is zero-rated when sold in single servings, multiples of single servings or in containers with a quantity exceeding a single serving.
The exception to this rule is where unflavoured milk is sold under certain conditions (see the information under the heading "Beverages sold under certain conditions"). This exception also applies to flavoured milk. In this instance, unflavoured and flavoured milk are taxable.
Flavoured milk, including fruit flavoured or other flavours such as chocolate, is taxable when sold in single servings. Flavoured milk when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer or in containers exceeding a single serving is zero-rated. As previously indicated, the CRA generally considers a beverage of less than 600 mL to be a single serving, although other characteristics may be taken into account when determining if a serving of a beverage is a single serving.
Product O is kefir, a fermented milk beverage. It is sold in strawberry, blueberry and vanilla flavours in grocery stores in 250 mL bottles and 500 mL containers. The 250 mL bottles are marketed as "grab & go". The 500 mL container is designed so that it would need to be poured into a glass to be consumed. The beverage is rich and filling, and 500 mL cannot be consumed by an average person in a single serving.
Product O in a 500 mL container is not considered a single serving. Product O is zero-rated when sold in 500 mL containers. Product O when sold in 250 mL bottles is considered a single serving, and therefore is taxable.
Product P is chocolate-flavoured milk that is sold in convenience stores in 250 mL cartons, in 750 mL jugs and in two litre jugs.
Product P is flavoured milk. Product P is taxable when sold in 250 mL cartons. Product P is zero-rated when sold in 750 mL jugs and in two litre jugs.
Product Q is a drinkable yoghurt beverage. Its main ingredient is skim milk and it is available in strawberry and raspberry flavours. Product Q is sold in 250 mL bottles and in packages of 4 bottles pre-packaged by the manufacturer.
Product Q is a fruit-flavoured milk-based beverage. Product Q is taxable when sold in 250 mL bottles. Product Q is zero-rated when sold in packages of 4 bottles.
Soy and rice-based beverages are not considered milk or milk-based beverages. Soy and rice-based beverages that are fruit flavoured and contain less than 25% natural fruit juice by volume are taxable regardless of serving size or packaging format.
Soy and rice-based beverages that are fruit flavoured and contain 25% or more natural fruit juice by volume are taxable when sold in a single serving size. These beverages are zero-rated when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer or producer and when sold in a container with a quantity exceeding a single serving.
Soy and rice-based beverages that are not fruit flavoured (e.g., vanilla or chocolate) are taxable when sold in single serving sizes. These beverages are zero-rated when sold in multiples of single servings pre-packaged by the manufacturer or in a container with a quantity exceeding a single serving.
Product R is a strawberry-flavoured soy beverage. It contains strawberry flavouring with no natural fruit juice and is sold in 250 mL bottles and in one litre bottles.
Product R is a fruit-flavoured beverage that contains less than 25% natural fruit juice, and is taxable regardless of serving size.
Product S is a vanilla-flavoured rice beverage that is sold in supermarkets in 250 mL bottles and in one litre containers.
Product S is a beverage that is not fruit flavoured. Product S is taxable when sold in 250 mL bottles. Product S is zero-rated when sold in one litre containers.
Up to this point in the info sheet, the application of the GST/HST to beverages depended on the characteristics of the beverage itself and its serving size. The characteristics of the beverage include fruit juice content, fruit flavoured, flavoured versus unflavoured milk, single serving size, multiples of single servings, and containers containing a quantity that exceeds a single serving.
From this point on, the application of the GST/HST to beverages depends on the conditions under which the sale of the beverage is made. Based on the characteristics of the beverage itself, a sale may be zero-rated. However, when a sale of the beverage is made under certain conditions, as explained below, it may be taxable.
All beverages heated for consumption are taxable. This includes beverages that have been heated or kept hot so they can be consumed hot.
Product T is coffee sold in a two litre carafe. It is kept hot in the carafe.
Product T is a beverage that is heated and kept hot for consumption, and therefore is taxable when sold.
Beverages that are dispensed (e.g., sold in a cup) at a place where they are sold are taxable. This includes milk (flavoured and unflavoured), coffee, tea, iced tea, hot chocolate, and juice when dispensed where supplied regardless of size and whether hot or cold.
Product U is 2% unflavoured milk. It is available in a cafeteria from a self-serve machine dispensed into plastic cups in 250 mL and 750 mL sizes.
Product U is a beverage that is dispensed into a cup at a place where it is sold. Product U is taxable when sold in both the 250 mL and 750 mL sizes.
In general, all beverages that are sold under a contract for, or in conjunction with, catering services are taxable. This includes, for example, pitchers of juice or carafes of coffee or tea supplied with a catered meal.
Product V is a 100% pure apple juice. One litre containers of Product V are sold in conjunction with a catered breakfast.
Product V is a beverage sold under a contract for, and in conjunction with, catering services, and therefore is taxable.
Beverages that are sold through a vending machine are taxable (See GST/HST Info Sheet (GI-022), Application of the GST/HST to Sales of Water, for information on the application of the GST/HST to sales of water through a vending machine). If the beverage is supplied through a vending machine for a single coin of 25 cents or less, the GST/HST is calculated to be zero.
Product W is unflavoured milk. It is sold in 250 mL cartons from a refrigerated vending machine for $0.50 per carton.
Product W is a beverage sold through a vending machine and is therefore taxable.
Beverages in a form suitable for immediate consumption are taxable when sold at establishments at which 90% of more of the sales of food and beverages are taxable. Examples of such establishments include restaurants, fast-food outlets, cafeterias, and coffee shops.
Product X is unflavoured milk. It is sold in a restaurant in 250 mL cartons.
Product X is a beverage sold at an establishment at which 90% or more of the sales of food and beverages are taxable. Product X is taxable when sold in a restaurant.

Is there an PRE-EMI Option in SBI MAXGAIN to pay only the interest for loan amount disburshed?
An agent said that then I should opt for SBI YUVA loan, which I do not want to.
Dear Danz, you can opt for pre EMI (lesser EMI intially) & go for full EMI as & when your cashflow permits or as per bank schedule within SBI Max Gain itself. many of my friends have used it that way.

"We have been using the Precedence TCX Thin-Clients for many years now and we have always known how quiet and energy efficent they are. This was highlighted last year, when we were having some electrical work done. The electrician asked us to go upstairs and turn on all the computers in that room to test the circuits. You should have seen his face when we told him that all 33 units were already on. The ICT Suite was generating less than 5amps for all 33 machines with TFT screens!"

AD MDCCCXIII bequeathed to the humanity two great composers: Richard Wagner (1813–1883) and Giuseppe Verdi (1813–1901).
Wagner, inspired by the Nordic mythology, explored its unfathomable depths, berhymed its verbal messages which inspired his music language, created his own grammar and orthography, compelled them to the public, enriched sound-spaces and emotional horizons, inveigled followers into his aesthetic principles, or paved paths for further developments and discoveries.
Verdi, incited by librettos his publisher and producers provided him, commented works by Victor Hugo (Hernani, Le Roi s'amuse), Alexandre Dumas fils (La Dame aux camélias). Shakespeare (Macbeth. Othello, Falstaff), Schiller (Louisa Miller, Don Carlos), Garcia Gutierrez ("Il Trovatore"), Spanish scribbler Rivas ("La Forza del destino"), adopting the basic patterns of his predecessors Rossini, Bellini and Donizetti: emphasis on the vocal part of the score, simplified accompaniments, perfunctory successions of scenes in the conventional structure.
Haughty, arrogant, foppish, Wagner never conceded any concession to the crowd. Charismatic, sociable, unassuming, Verdi flattered opera-lovers with delightful arias, sometimes lighter than a Neapolitan song (La Donna è mobile, for example), often intense and thrilling (aria of Rigoletto), always seductive and enchanting.
To his extraordinary gift for the once-heard-never-forgotten arias, Verdi joins his acute sense for dramatic graduations which often bring to his works an impressive and gripping emotional dynamics (quartet from the final act of Rigoletto, for example) whose magnetic strength still exerts its huge power over the audiences.
Verdi was born on October 10th, 1813 in the village called Roncole in the province of Parma, occupied by Napoléon's army. Still in the cot, he had a narrow escape from the Austrian soldiers who massacred the population of the province after Napoléon's defeat in 1814. His father, owner of the village inn, hid with family in the attic and left the door of the inn ajar. Glutted Austrians returned to their barracks.
Verdi 's first tutor was an organist from the nearby city of Busseto. When he was 19 year-old, he studied privately in Milan composition and conducting. His first opera entitled "Oberto, conte di San Bonifacio", commissioned by La Scala, was well received in 1839. La Scala commissioned "Nabucco", performed in 1842. It was Verdi's first triumph. He was recognized as a national composer. After "I Lombardi alla prima crociata" (1843), Verdi offers to the public "Ernani" (1844), "Macbetb" (1847), "Louisa Miller" (1849). Composed in 1851, "Rigoletto" brought him an international fame. "I1 Trovatore" (1852) and "La Traviata" (1853) brought him commissions from abroad: "Les Vêpres siciliennes", work inspired by massacre of French in Sicily in 1282 (Paris Opera in 1855), "La Forza del destino" (St. Petersburg Opera in 1862), new version of "Macbeth" (Paris Opera in 1865), "Don Carlos" (Paris Opera in 1867). Ismaïl Pacha of Egypt commissioned in1871 for the opening of Cairo Opera House "Aida". A new triumph but not the last one: "Otello" in 1887, then "Falstaff' in 1893. Verdi was 80 years old!
The comeliness of Verdi's String Quartet in E-minor, conceived in 1873, unveils some stirring stanzas of his intimate poetry, damped by scenic effects in his operas. Written in 1874 for the first anniversary of Alessandro Manzoni's death, Verdi's magnificent Requiem reveals his dramatic poetry freed of theatrical purports, emotionally impelled by deep religious feelings, present also in the instrumental part of the score. The masterful treatment and the importance of the role confided to the orchestra disclose Verdi's hidden technical abilities.
A very happy fusion of Verdi's intimate and dramatic poetry with his religious feelings is performed in his swan-song "Quatro pezzi sacri" composed in 1898 in memoriam Giuseppina Strepponi, his second spouse, deceased in 1897. The Stabat Mater and especially the Te Deum confirm the grandeur and the eternal youth of the 85 year-old genius. Some technical audacity displayed by Verdi in his ultimate masterpiece did not remain unnoticed by composers of our time.
Verdi's syncretic creative energism attracted numerous imitators, but engendered just a few disciples. The best known, whose works cross sometimes Italian borders, are Amilcare Ponchielli (1834-1886) and Arrigo Boito (1842–1918). Let us not forget two Latin-American verdists, the Brazilian Carlos Gomes (1836-1896) and Luis Delgadillo from Nicaragua (1887-1961 in Managua). Carlos Gomes witnessed triumphs of his opera "Il Guarany" (1870) inspired by the Brazilian romanticist's José de Alencar (1829–1877) novel entitled "O Guarani" in La Scala and other Italian, European and South American opera centres. His opera "Fosca" (fosca means "mien" in English), composed in 1873 is considered his masterpiece by critics. It is followed by operas "Salvator Rosa" (1874) and "Lo Schiavo" (1889) — Luis Delgadillo wrote five operas as well as ballets, symphonies, overtures, masses and chamber music works. First, attracted by Verdi's spirit in his operas, this pupil of Milan Conservatory later introduced folkloric elements in his symphonic works and underwent some influences of Debussy and Schoenberg. Luis Delgadillo is certainly the greatest Central-American composer. — While chronologically closer to the demagogical post-verdist movement called verism, like Luis Delgadillo, the French composer Gustave Charpentier (1860–1956) is aesthetically more verdist in his world-renowned opera "Louise" (1900) then continuator of the principles of Jules Massenet (1842-1912) who did influence his means of expression — The great French–German pianist Eugène d'Albert (1864–1932), who composed twelve operas, is rather verdist in his most popular work "Tiefland", despite his efforts to coarsen Wagner's scenic formulas.
Partisan of the Italian political and social movement Risorgimento, whose liberal, humanitarian and nationalist actions, propagated mostly by the intellectuals, but supported by bourgeoisie, led to the unification of the country and the establishment of the monarchy with the King Vittorio Emmanuele in 1860, Verdi was elected member of the first Italian parliament in 1861. His social and humanitarian activities lasted till his death. He passed away on 27th January 1901 in Milan in the home for the elderly musicians funded by him and left legacy of his tremendous personal wealth to his needed colleagues.

Francesco Graziani - World Cup winner
Forward injured seven minutes into 1982 final
Francesco Graziani in action for
the Italy national team
The footballer Francesco Graziani, who played in all of Italy's matches in the 1982 World Cup in Spain but had the misfortune to be reduced to the status of a spectator when injury struck just seven minutes into the final, was born on this day in 1952 in Subiaco, in Lazio.
Graziani, a striker with Fiorentina who had made his name with Torino, scored a vital goal in Italy's final match of the opening group phase against Cameroon, securing the draw that was enough to take the azzurri through to the second stage of the competition.
He played in Italy's epic victories over Argentina and Brazil in the second group phase and in the thumping semi-final win over Poland but was replaced by Alessandro Altobelli after damaging a shoulder in the opening moments of the final against West Germany.
Altobelli went on to score Italy's third goal as they overcame the Germans 3-1 to lift the trophy for a third time.
With 23 goals in 64 appearances for the national team, Graziani - nicknamed 'Ciccio' - achieved a strike rate in international football similar to his goals-per-game ratio in his career at domestic level, which brought him 142 goals in 413 league appearances.
His peak seasons came in the eight years he spent with Torino, during which he scored 97 times in 221 Serie A matches, winning the scudetto as Serie A champions in 1975-76.

1975-76. Graziani is fourth from the left on the back row
A strong, physical player, Graziani began his footballing career in Bettini Quadraro, an amateur team in Rome, before moving to Arezzo and then to Torino in 1973.
Graziani scored 122 goals in 289 games in all competitions for Torino, including eight goals in 23 matches in Europe. In addition to the Serie A title, he was a member of the team that reached the final of the Coppa Italia in 1980.
He was the top-scorer in Serie A with a tally of 21 goals in the 1976-77 season, part of a powerful forward line alongside Paolo Pulici and Claudio Sala.
Graziani left Torino in 1981 when he and teammate Eraldo Pecci were transferred to Fiorentina, where they missed winning the title by a single point in the 1981–82 season.
In 1983, he was signed by Roma, with whom he won the Coppa Italia twice, in 1984 and 1986.

Known for his composure in front of goal, Graziani was capable of playing as a main striker, in a creative midfield role, or even on the wing. He worked hard to hone his technique and eventually his determination, ability in the air and a natural eye for goal enabled him to become the complete centre-forward.
Nonetheless, despite his excellent scoring record, Graziani twice missed penalties in shoot-outs, first in the one that decided the 1980 Coppa Italia final, when Torino lost out to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, and then again in the 1984 European Cup final - in the same stadium - when Roma, his next club after Fiorentina, were beaten by Liverpool.
After two seasons with Udinese and a brief appearance in the Australian National Soccer League, Graziani called time on his his playing career in 1988. His Serie A record was 130 goals from 353 games.
Graziani made his debut for the Italy national team in April 1975, in a 0–0 home draw in Rome against Poland, and scored his first goal for Italy in April of the following year in a 3–1 home win against Portugal.
Francesco Graziani has been a coach
and pundit since giving up playing
As well as being a key member of the 1982 World Cup team, he also went to the 1978 finals in Argentina as understudy to Paolo Rossi and to the 1980 European Championship finals on home soil, where he made four appearances, scoring once, as Italy finished in fourth place.
His career as a coach has so far produced mixed results. As coach of Fiorentina he reached the 1990 UEFA Cup Final. Spells at Reggina and Avellino were unsuccessful but then led Catania to promotion from Serie C1 to Serie B in the 2001–02 season.
From 2004 to 2006, he coached Cervia, an amateur team of Emilia-Romagna from the Eccellenza league who were the subject of an Italian reality show, Campioni – Il Sogno. He led the team to an immediate promotion to Serie D.
More recently, Graziani has worked as a football pundit for the Mediaset TV channels.
The Rocca Abbazia castle that towers above the town of
Subiaco remains largely intact
Travel tip:
Graziani's home town, Subiaco, which is situated about 70km (43 miles) east of Rome and about 40km (25 miles) from Tivoli, is built close to a hill topped by the Rocca Abbazia castle, and close to Monte Liviato – one of Lazio's premier ski resorts. Originally built to provide accommodation for workmen on Nero's grand villa, of which barely anything remains, Subiaco became well known for the fact that, in the fifth century, Saint Benedict lived as a hermit in a mountain cave nearby for three years, before leaving to found the monastery at Montecassino. Among a few things to see are the Ponte di San Francesco, a medieval segmental arch bridge over the Aniene constructed in 1358.
The Municipio - local authority building - in Cervia, the
town on the Adriatic coast where Graziani coached
Cervia, whose football club Graziani coached to promotion in 2005, is a resort town in Emilia-Romagna, on Italy's Adriatic coast. It was once an important medieval city with three fortified entrances, seven churches and a castle supposedly built by Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. Among things to see are an early 18th century cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta and the Museum of Salt, which tells the story of the town's prosperous past as major centre for the mining of salt.

With the exception of two songs that crossed over to the Pop Chart, Dave Dudley's entire output of over 40 hits was on the Country Chart. Born David Darwin Pedruska in Spencer, Wisconsin on May 3, 1928, he turned to country music after an arm injury ended his semi-pro baseball career. Originally a DJ, he began recording for King Records in 1955. A couple of medium-size hits preceded his breakout single, Six Days On The Road. The song not only charted for 21 weeks, peaking at #2, it also established Dudley as the pioneer of truck-driving songs. Eight more of his records made the Top 10 in the '60s and '70s, including the #1 hit, The Pool Shark.
At just about the time that Barry McGuire's Eve Of Destruction was falling off the charts, Dudley released What We're Fighting For. This unabashedly patriotic song, with lyrics by Tom T. Hall, made clear that even if one opposed war it was essential to defend America's interests. "There's not a soldier in this foreign land who likes this war," but "another flag must never fly above our nation's door."
Dudley's next single was Viet Nam Blues [the Kris Kristofferson-penned song], another track from his Mercury LP, 'There's A Star Spangled Banner Waving Somewhere.' The album also included Hello Vietnam and several World War II remakes such as At Mail Call Today and Soldier's Last Letter. He died of a heart attack on December 22, 2003.

There's a clever fall arrival being neglected Thursday on another channel, where the WB's new Gilmore Girls, faces off against NBC's same-audience-attracting smash, Friends.
The Thursday, November 30 episode will be a repeat showing of the Pilot for those who missed it the first time around.
Gilmore Girls will be pre-empted on Thursday, November 23 by an extra repeat episode of Charmed. This is most likely due to the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
Episode 7's (Kiss and Tell) overnight ratings rose to 3.7/5 compared to last week's 3.5/6. The WB's strategy of welcoming viewers switching from Friends at 8:30 by recaping the last 1/2 hour right as they go back from commercial seems to be working. The show peaked in 8:30 - 9:00 time period to 4.1/6 compared to 3.9/6 last week.
The Viewers for Quality Television have named Gilmore Girls as the Best New Drama and the Best Written New Series. Lorelai Gilmore is named as the Most Interesting New Character and Lauren Graham is named Best Actress in a New Series.
The WB has announced ordering six more episodes of Gilmore Girls.
When Felicity finishes its initial run on Wednewsday, December 13 the WB will air a special holiday episode of the Gilmore Girls on Wednesday, December 20 at 9:00pm.

Mill Partner Spotlight on Best Pacific
Stories | July 15, 2021
As you most likely know, textile mills are an essential link within the supply chain. Materials cannot be made without them! Close collaboration with our mill partners, which range from industry trends and insights to material and product development, allows us to provide innovative textile solutions to brands and their respective consumers.
One of our long-standing mill partners is, Best Pacific. Our collaboration began in 2004, and not only have we collaborated on many projects over the 17 years, we've also established many close friendships. Following is a bit of background and a Q&A with Best Pacific's, Kevin Zan, General Manager – Sportswear Division…
Best Pacific, located in the city of Dongguan in Guangdong Province China, is one of the few lingerie material manufacturers in the world that provides one-stop solutions through its comprehensive product line of lingerie materials (with a focus on stretch fabric, webbing, and lace), and sportswear materials.
Best Pacific has established long-term and close collaboration with leading global brands such as Aimer, Chantelle, Embry Form, Maidenform, Marks & Spencer, Spanx, Triumph, Victoria's Secret and Wacoal. With its strong, innovative product development capabilities, the Group not only manufactures lingerie materials for these brands, but it also jointly develops new lingerie materials and products, which create new market trends for lingerie products.
In addition, the company has successfully expanded into the active sportswear market by offering performance fabrics and webbing to brands and manufacturers that develop apparel for cycling, running, yoga, Pilates, athleisure, and more.
Kevin Zan, Best Pacific General Manager – Sportswear Division, was kind to answer a few questions as to how our partnership began and has endured over the years.
How did Best Pacific and Hyosung begin working together?
At the very beginning, Best Pacific was specializing in making stretch materials with nylon and spandex to lingerie and activewear markets, Hyosung was the most professional nylon and spandex supplier in the world, with a mutual understanding of our products – and the same dream to work and grow business together.
What does Best Pacific look for when selecting a fiber/mill to partner with?
When we select a fiber supplier for partnership, we always think about innovation, performance, production quality consistency, and cost. Both of us need to have the same clear understanding and commitment to always deliver the best products to market and to consumers.
Why do you think Best Pacific and Hyosung have become such strong partners over the years?
We work together to serve brands, we always think about partnerships and a win-win business strategy. Through our partnership of strong innovation and experience developing technical products, we want to bring this this win-win benefit to brands and consumers.
Please share how you both work together to anticipate brand developers' needs.
First of all, both of us have very dedicated teams that work with brands. Secondly, we have regular touch-base meetings to discuss how to work together to develop the RIGHT products for brands based on our daily communication and business trips.
What was a particularly challenging product developer request and how did Best Pacific and Hyosung accomplish it?
Hyosung is very strong on cooling yarn technology. Best Pacific is very innovative in fabric design. Cooling yarn has some limitations to get microfiber and streakiness due to unique section. We were asked by a product developer to create a microfiber cooling yarn with fine gauge, light-weight fabric. After internal discussion and analysis, Hyosung developed the cooling yarn after few trials. We supported Hyosung to proceed into fabric development in order to make a comprehensive evaluation of its production quality and consistency. With each round of trials, Hyosung always respected Best Pacific's technical feedback to create an innovative product for the brand to market.
With the pandemic hopefully coming to a close this year, we are all hoping to see one another at an industry trade show or another gathering soon! On your travels, we hope you have the opportunity to meet our good friends at Best Pacific!

The Edwinola
Letter From Our Director
A Glimpse into our Community
The History of the Edwinola
"The highest honor is to care for the ones who cared for us."
Edwinola is more than a century old. It was initially built as a hotel back in 1912. The unique name was driven from the name of the original owners, namely, Edwin and Lola. It was actually opened to replace the Dade city hotel that had caught fire and closed down in 1907. This place served as a private residence, then a restaurant, and then finally a retirement community, and has been so, ever since.
The Edwinola has been around for a long time. It has seen the days of glory and darkness, likewise. Most people only know its history as a restaurant and a hotel, but it has also served as a boarding house and a university, let alone that, it shall always be a historical landmark.
Known as a Dade City, FL historical landmark, this original three-story building is a magnificent piece of Southern architecture. After World War II, the Edwinola had to face severe competition from competitors' hotels in the area.
After losing out as a hotel, it became a residence for the Gasque family till the late 1960s. This place was purchased by Marlene, and Robert Sumner in 1975 who got the premises renovated, and Edwinola became a fine dining place. However, in the 1980s, the building was turned into a retirement home and stood as an eight-story building. This retirement center has been home to the elderly living alone, and also serves as a memory care facility.
The current assisted living community includes independent and assisted living apartments, as well as a new memory care wing. This community has gone through various renovations to keep it up to date with contemporary living styles. Most recently celebrating it's grand re-opening in January of 2019. At present, the building can accommodate up to 160 residents all at once.

The Edwinola was originally built in 1912 as a hotel. The name "Edwinola" is a combination of the original owners names, Edwin and Lola Gasque. Since it's construction, it has been a favorite destination of travelers coming to the Dade City, FL area. The Edwinola would eventually go on to serve as a private residence, a restaurant, and in the 1980's, it was turned into a retirement community.

Sir Robert Anstruther, 1st Baronet (1658 – March 1737), of Wrae, Linlithgow, and Balcaskie, Fife, was a Scottish politician who sat in the Parliament of Scotland between 1681 and 1707 and in the British House of Commons from 1709 to 1710.

Early life

Anstruther was baptized on 24 September 1658, the third son of Sir Philip Anstruther of Anstruther, Fife, a member of the Scottish Parliament, and his wife Christian Lumsden, daughter of Sir James Lumsden of Innergellie, Fife.

Career
Anstruther had an early spell in the Parliament of Scotland as a Burgh Commissioner for Anstruther Easter from 1681 to 1682. He married Sophia Kinnear, the daughter and coheiress of David Kinnear, and adopted the additional name of Kinnear on the death of his father-in law in 1684. Sophia died in 1686 and he married as his second wife Jean Monteith, the daughter and heiress of William Monteith of Wrae, on 12 March 1687. From 1689 to 1690, unlike his brother, he served the regime of King William on various local commissions. He was caught up in a double returned for Anstruther Easter, and the result was decided against him. He was given a place as one of the general receivers of supply in 1691. He was created a baronet of Wrae, Linlithgowshire and Balcaskie, Fife and Braemore, Caithness on 28 November 1694. In 1696 he was appointed joint farmer of excise, and in 1697 was appointed clerk and keeper of cocquet seal, Firth of Forth west of Queensferry.  He lost at least £500 in the Darien scheme and lost money in the farm of the Scottish excise, but had married two heiresses. He was able to purchase in 1698 an estate at Balcaskie, on the Fife coast where he went on to build a house. He also served as a commissioner to the convention of royal burghs for the neighbouring burgh of Anstruther Easter. He married as his third wife, his cousin Marian Preston, the daughter of Sir William Preston, 2nd Baronet of Valleyfield, Fife.

In 1702 Anstruther became Burgh Commissioner for Anstruther Wester. He opposed the Union and took part in the protests in 1705 against the treaty act. In Parliament he was frequently absent in the divisions on the Union and five of his only six votes were on the opposition side. He probably acted according to the influence of the Court Tory Lord Leven. He lost his seat and his government posts in 1707.

After the union of Scotland with England, Anstruther was returned to the new Parliament of Great Britain as Member of Parliament for Fife at a by-election on 24 March 1709. There was little time for him to make any impression and he did not stand at the 1710 British general election.

Death and legacy
Anstruther died in March 1737. He had had five sons and two daughters by his second wife and one son and two daughters by his third wife. One of his sons was killed at the Battle of Preston in 1715 and another rose to the rank of general in the service of the Hanoverians. He was succeeded by his eldest son Philip Anstruther.

Despite the name and mission of a Board of Regents-created subcommittee formed to oversee a systemwide "Transparent, Inclusive, Efficiency Review" of Iowa's public universities, the group's meetings have been kept closed.
The TIER subcommittee, as it's called, also hasn't notified the public of when and where its meetings are held, and Board of Regents officials say the group is not legally required to do so. But, a proposed amendment to the state's Open Meetings and Open Records statutes could change that.
Kathleen Richardson, executive director of the Iowa Freedom of Information Council and a member of the Iowa Public Information Board, said her board is looking to clarify how the law applies to advisory committees created by governmental bodies — like the TIER subcommittee — after receiving inquiries and concerns.
A draft proposal would change the law to require advisory committees that perform policy-making duties or make recommendations related to public policy issues to hold open meetings. The proposal further states that all subcommittees created by a government body's directive, motion, resolution, or ordinance also would be covered under the open meetings law.
Regents' TIER subcommittee likely would fall under the law's broader proposed definition, according to Richardson, although she can't say so definitively at this preliminary stage.
"But it certainly makes it more likely going forward that committees like this would have to comply," she said.
The current law states advisory groups and committees that make recommendations but lack decision-making authority — like the TIER subcommittee — are not subject to the open meetings law. That is the portion of the statute the Board of Regents Office has cited in keeping TIER meetings closed, according to Aimee Claeys, associate counsel for the board.
Richardson said the group might not be breaking the law by keeping its meetings closed, but committees can, and sometimes do, voluntarily open meetings — even if not required.
Another Regents-formed task force that earlier this year recommended changing the way state money is allocated to the three universities voluntarily notified the public of its meetings and made them open.
Board officials said that was the decision of former regent David Miles, who chaired the group.
The TIER subcommittee consists of regents Larry McKibben and Milt Dakovich, as well as a Regents attorney, another staff member, representatives from the consulting firm hired to conduct the efficiency review, and representatives from each university.
McKibben, who is heading the TEIR subcommittee, has said his group's meetings are closed because they aren't advising the Board of Regents on policy but rather on decisions related to the efficiency review.
For example, during the Board of Regents meeting Wednesday, McKibben told his colleagues that "my committee" recommends the board continue contracting with Deloitte Consulting LLP — the firm it hired earlier this year review operations at the three regent universities and suggest ways to improve efficiency, cut costs, and generate revenue.
Because the subcommittee's meetings have been closed, however, it's unclear whether McKibben's mention of "my committee" at the board meeting referred to the TIER subcommittee or whether another group is making decisions related to the efficiency review.
Emails reviewed by The Gazette indicate there have been discussions on the topic that did not include all members of the subcommittee. And, according to information provided by the Regents Office to The Gazette earlier this week, the TIER subcommittee last met on May 21 — weeks, if not months, before Deloitte developed and outlined its sourcing and procurement plan, on which McKibben's recommendations this week were based.
The next TIER meeting, which will be closed, is scheduled for Tuesday.
Richardson said the Iowa Public Information Board decided to review and propose changes to Iowa's Open Meetings Law after feedback from across the state made it apparent the law is unclear.
"It's difficult for lawyers, much less non-lawyers, to try and figure out when an advisory group has to comply with the open meetings law," Richardson said.
The public information board is holding a series of public meetings on its proposal to clarify the law at its office in Des Moines on Monday and Thursday and on Aug. 19. Its final recommendations must be approved by the full board and then passed by the Legislature.
Even if the proposed changes are approved, Richardson said, some advisory committees would be exempt. But the goal is to broaden the statute's scope.
"And the fact is, no matter how you write the law, if government officials want to avoid the requirements of the law, they will find a way," Richardson said.
Some members of the public have argued the board's proposal doesn't go far enough in requiring advisory groups to comply with the law. Some people believe it goes too far, said Keith Luchtel, information board executive director.
"That's the controversial thing — how far do you go with this and still have the ability to do anything?" he said.
Because the law requires notices of public meetings to be issued in advance, Luchtel said, some people have argued compliance can be difficult and hinder progress. Luchtel said the process sometimes can deter citizens from serving on boards.
Nicholas Johnson, UI law professor and former commissioner of the Federal Communications Commission, said he thinks there should be a logical rationale to close a meeting.

ONLINE ticket sales for this event have ended. Tickets will be sold at the venue this evening, beginning at 6:00. Thank you!
Bookshop Santa Cruz welcomes #1 New York Times bestselling author Jodi Picoult for an in conversation event with acclaimed novelist Jane Smiley about Picoult's new book, A Spark of Light, a powerful and provocative novel about ordinary lives that intersect during a heart-stopping crisis.
Jodi Picoult—one of the most fearless writers of our time—tackles a complicated issue in this gripping and nuanced novel. How do we balance the rights of pregnant women with the rights of the unborn they carry? What does it mean to be a good parent? A Spark of Light will inspire debate, conversation...and, hopefully, understanding. Tickets for this special offsite event (at Peace United Church, 900 High Street) are on sale below and at Bookshop Santa Cruz. T his event is cospsonsored by KAZU.

Please note: In lieu of personalization, all copies of A Spark of Light will be pre-signed and a professional photographer (arranged by the publisher) will be on-site to capture a personal meet-and-greet.
The warm fall day starts like any other at the Center—a women's reproductive health services clinic—its staff offering care to anyone who passes through its doors. Then, in late morning, a desperate and distraught gunman bursts in and opens fire, taking all inside hostage.
After rushing to the scene, Hugh McElroy, a police hostage negotiator, sets up a perimeter and begins making a plan to communicate with the gunman. As his phone vibrates with incoming text messages he glances at it and, to his horror, finds out that his fifteen-year-old daughter, Wren, is inside the clinic.
But Wren is not alone. She will share the next and tensest few hours of her young life with a cast of unforgettable characters: A nurse who calms her own panic in order save the life of a wounded woman. A doctor who does his work not in spite of his faith but because of it, and who will find that faith tested as never before. A pro-life protester disguised as a patient, who now stands in the cross hairs of the same rage she herself has felt. A young woman who has come to terminate her pregnancy. And the disturbed individual himself, vowing to be heard.
Told in a daring and enthralling narrative structure that counts backward through the hours of the standoff, this is a story that traces its way back to what brought each of these very different individuals to the same place on this fateful day.
Jodi Picoult is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of twenty-five novels, including Small Great Things, Leaving Time, The Storyteller, Lone Wolf, Sing You Home, House Rules, Handle with Care, Change of Heart, Nineteen Minutes, and My Sister's Keeper. She is also the author, with daughter Samantha van Leer, of two young adult novels, Between the Lines and Off the Page. Picoult lives in New Hampshire with her husband and three children.
Jane Smiley is a novelist and essayist. Her novel A Thousand Acres won the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1992, and her novel The All True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton won the 1999 Spur Award for Best Novel of the West. She has been a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters since 1987. Her novel Horse Heaven was short-listed for the Orange Prize in 2002, and her latest novel, Private Life, was chosen as one of the best books of 2010 by The Atlantic, The New Yorker, and The Washington Post.

Be alerted when Sondre Lerche - Phantom Punch (180G Vinyl LP) is back in stock.
A notification will be sent to when the Sondre Lerche - Phantom Punch (180G Vinyl LP) is back in stock.
In celebrating his 30th birthday, Mona Records is happy to announce the reissuing of Norwegian-born, Brooklyn-based artist Sondre Lerche's first four albums (Faces Down - 2001, Two Way Monologue - 2004, Duper Sessions - 2006 and Phantom Punch - 2007) on 180g vinyl for the very first time!
Aside from being given the ultimate audiophile treatment, each of these reissues features various bonus tracks and rarities specific to each recording session thus giving a more in depth veiw of these records in time. Each LP also includes a digital download code for the full album plus selected digital-only bonus tracks.
Originally issued in 2007, Phantom Punch is the fourth studio offering from Norwegian singer/songwriter Sondre Lerche and it marks his welcome return to the pop fold after the jazz meanderings of its 2006 predecessor. However, this time around Lerche's pop sensibilities are filtered through a modern rock lens, gone are the strings and vocal harmonies of yesteryear, and in their place are loud guitars and more aggressive vocals.
Anchored by the hook-heavy gems "Say It All" and "John Let Me Go," the material here is once again driven by Lerche's masterful arrangements, an aspect of his music that remains top notch no matter what direction he decides to take it. 180g 2LP pressing with bonus tracks and download coupon for full album plus additional bonus material.

Chairman McCain, Ranking Member Reed, and distinguished members of the Committee, Thank you for your invitation to appear before you today to discuss the National Defense Strategy.
This is a vitally important topic. In recent years, it has become apparent that we are living in a world characterized by the reality of great-power competition and the growing possibility of great-power war. At the same time, the United States faces increasingly capable regional rogues, such as North Korea and Iran, which possess or are developing nuclear weapons and the ability to deliver them to great distances.
We also face the need, today and into the future, to wage a global counterinsurgency campaign against jihadist terrorist groups. At the same time, it has become painfully obvious that the United States possesses limited resources–or more accurately limited political will to muster the resources–to meet this increasingly competitive environment.
