Q: Allocate a contiguous block of memory I try to work with a contiguous block of memory, more over I try to create an array who's dimensions are not known at compile time (before C99) so no variable-length arrays are involved here.
I came with the following:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void){
    unsigned int row, col,i, j, k;
    int l = 0;

    printf("Give the ROW: ");
    if ( scanf("%u",&row) != 1){
        printf("Error, scanf ROW\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    printf("Give the COL: ");
    if ( scanf("%u",&col) != 1){
        printf("Error, scanf COL\n");
        exit(2);
    }

    int *arr = malloc(sizeof *arr * row * col); /* This doesn't compile with `-pedantic` */
    if(arr == NULL){
        printf("Error, malloc\n");
        exit(3);
    }

    for ( i = 0; i < row ; i++){
        for ( j = 0 ; j < col ; j++){
            arr[i * col + j] = l;
            l++;
        }
    }

    for (k = 0 ; k < (row * col) ; k++){
        printf("%d ",arr[k]);
    }

    free(arr);
}

Which give's me the following:
Give the ROW: 5
Give the COL: 5
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

Now I have a Questions:

Is this the right approach?

A: You have a hidden error in this line:
arr[i * row + j] = k;

The correct index calculation is
arr[i * col + j] = k;

The reason that you don't notice that problem is that row and col have the same value in the code. If, for example, you set row to 6 and col to 3, the error will be obvious. You will allocate space for 18 ints, but when i is 5 and j is 2, the code will try to access location [5*6 + 2] which is off the end of the array, and will result in undefined behavior.
Here's how the address calculation works. The drawing below shows how a 2D array (row=6 and col=3) is actually laid out in memory. Note that the number of items on each row is equal to the number of columns in the array. So the starting index for each row is a multiple of the number of columns. In this example, since the number of columns is 3, the rows start at indexes 0,3,6,9,... So given an element at index [i][j] in the 2D array, the index in the 1D array is i*col + j.

A: The approach is okay. And the dimensions are known at compile time.
The reason for getting 15 is that arr it represents the base address so when you add 15 to arr it will give you the address of block containing 15 and later on de-referencing you will get 15.

A: If you don't know the number of dimensions ahead of time (1, 2, 3, or more dimensions), then this is the only approach you have available.  If you know the number of dimensions, but not their values, and you don't have VLAs available, again, this is the only approach you have available.
Because I am bored out of my freaking skull from writing documentation, I womped up this quick and dirty prototype to demonstrate how you can map a 1D array onto arrays of different numbers of dimensions:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdarg.h>

/**
 * Compute the offset into a 1D array based on a set of dimensions
 * and indices, and return the element at that offset.  You must pass
 * at least as many indices as number of dimensions; any extra indices
 * will not be processed.
 *
 * Inputs:
 *    a       -- 1D array of data
 *    ndims   -- number of dimensions to map array onto
 *    dims    -- dimension sizes
 *    ...     -- index values
 *
 * Outputs: none
 *
 * Returns: value at desired index
 */
int access( const int * restrict a, size_t ndims, const size_t * restrict dims, ... )
{
  va_list ap;
  va_start( ap, dims );  point to first index value in argument list

  size_t idx = 0;

  /**
   * To find the right index for a given number of dimensions,
   * we need to compute
   *
   *  d0 x d1:           i * d1 + j
   *  d0 x d1 x d2:      i * d1 * d2 + j * d1 + k
   *  d0 x d1 x d2 x d3: i * d1 * d2 * d3 + j * d1 * d2 + k * d1 + l
   *
   * The loop below computes these as
   *
   *    i * d1 + j
   *    (i * d2 + j) * d1 + k
   *    (((i * d3 + j) * d2) + k) * d1 + l
   *
   * etc.
   */
  for ( size_t i = 1; i < ndims; i++ )
  {
    idx += va_arg( ap, size_t ); // get next index argument and advance ap
    idx *= dims[i];
  }
  idx += va_arg( ap, size_t );
  va_end( ap );
  return a[idx];
}

int main( void )
{
  int test[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9};
  size_t dims2x5[] = {2, 5};       // for mapping test onto a 2x5 array
  size_t dims3x3[] = {3, 3};       // for mapping test onto a 3x3 array
  size_t dims2x2x2[] = {2, 2, 2};  // for mapping test onto a 2x2x2 array

  for ( size_t i = 0; i < dims2x5[0]; i++ )
    for ( size_t j = 0; j < dims2x5[1]; j++ )
      printf( "test[%zu][%zu] = %d\n", i, j, access( test, 2, dims2x5, i, j ) );

  for ( size_t i = 0; i < dims3x3[0]; i++ )
    for ( size_t j = 0; j < dims3x3[1]; j++ )
      printf( "test[%zu][%zu] = %d\n", i, j, access( test, 2, dims3x3, i, j ) );

  for ( size_t i = 0; i < dims2x2x2[0]; i++ )
    for ( size_t j = 0; j < dims2x2x2[1]; j++ )
      for ( size_t k = 0; k < dims2x2x2[2]; k++ )
        printf( "test[%zu][%zu][%zu] = %d\n", i, j, k, access( test, 3, dims2x2x2, i, j, k ));

  return 0;
}

And the output:
test[0][0] = 0
test[0][1] = 1
test[0][2] = 2
test[0][3] = 3
test[0][4] = 4
test[1][0] = 5
test[1][1] = 6
test[1][2] = 7
test[1][3] = 8
test[1][4] = 9

test[0][0] = 0
test[0][1] = 1
test[0][2] = 2
test[1][0] = 3
test[1][1] = 4
test[1][2] = 5
test[2][0] = 6
test[2][1] = 7
test[2][2] = 8

test[0][0][0] = 0
test[0][0][1] = 1
test[0][1][0] = 2
test[0][1][1] = 3
test[1][0][0] = 4
test[1][0][1] = 5
test[1][1][0] = 6
test[1][1][1] = 7

This isn't pretty - access( a, 3, dims2x2x2, i, j, k ) doesn't exactly read as easily as a[i][j][k].  With some additional levels of abstraction you could clean that up a bit, but it's always going to feel a bit awkward.  And naturally you sacrifice some performance.  But, if you need to be able to map a 1D array onto an arbitary-sized N-dimensional array where you don't even know the number of dimensions ahead of time, this is a possible solution.

The State of the Union address: do we really need it?
By Wes Vernon
The Constitution of the United States says — "He [The President] shall from time to time give to Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient."
Read that again. Please point out to us where it says the president shall appear in person to deliver the State of the Union (SOTU) address. Please show us where the Constitution mandates that such personal appearances by the President of the United States shall be accompanied by all the grand theatrics and pronouncements that are replete with monarchial ceremony.
None of that is stipulated in the Constitution. The Founding Fathers — wisely incorporating the best elements of English tradition (the Magna Carta, for example), while avoiding the excesses of British royalty culture — would be mortified were they to witness how interpretation of that one sentence in the Constitution has evolved over the years.
Wikipedia actually says the SOTU speech literally is "modeled after the monarch's Speech from the Throne during the State Opening of Parliament in the United Kingdom...." Is there no one in the Congress or in the court system to take note of this accurate (but not constitutionally-mandated) breach of the founders' intent?
Had the framers envisioned the advent of television, they would have added one more caveat expressly forbidding the president to deliver the speech in person — lest its very public display suggest a rupture in the separation of powers as laid out in their brilliant document.
Some history
It is true that our first presidents — George Washington and John Adams — delivered their State of the Union reports in person. It is not certain their appearances were accompanied by royalty-laced ceremony. Given their living memories of life under the yoke of His Majesty King George III, that is doubtful. In fact, some reports indicate that such occasions were soon followed by back and forth arguments between the executive and (separately) the House and the Senate.
It was left to our third president — Thomas Jefferson — to nip that personal-appearance routine in the bud. This was America, and although his predecessors were honorable men with good intentions, Mr. Jefferson feared that they may have inadvertently set a precedent that could someday lead America's former British subjects back to their unwanted roots.
And so for over 100 years...
His successors all throughout the 19th Century followed suit and sent their messages in writing. Of course, they didn't have TV producers nagging them to put on a good show.
One of them — Rutherford B. Hayes — even took note of the fact that the relevant constitutional sentence did not even stipulate that such reports were necessarily required on an annual basis, written or oral. The phrase "from time to time" is open to broader interpretation.
But then came the Imperial Presidency
The first president to revive the live performance before Congress was the most sanctimonious, self-righteous, race-baiting, war-centric human being ever to occupy the highest office in this land. Perceiving himself the equivalent of royalty, Thomas Woodrow Wilson did not need radio or television (both of which then remained in the future) to assist in his self-aggrandizement. He himself — at least in his own mind — was larger than life, and that was all that was required.
So in the early 20th century, he brought back the State of the Union with the president — live — in all his magisterial eminence.
The tradition grew once radio entered America's households, accelerated when "talkies" allowed for newsreel coverage to appear in theatres across the land, and bolted over the top when television brought the big screen to American living rooms.
Great theatre
Then one night, the "system" of political theatre reeled out of control when our 44th president — Barack Hussein Obama — chose to use the bully pulpit in the people's House of Representatives to sandbag a separate and equal branch of government — the United States Supreme Court.
The reason for calling out the justices — six of whom were seated directly in front of him — was bad enough. In less than 15 seconds time, one sentence in President Obama's State of the Union address contained two outright lies. Said he:
"With all due deference to the separation of powers, last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests, including foreign corporations, to spend without limit in our elections."
That a former professor of Constitutional Law would exhibit such blatant contempt for the First Amendment assurance of free speech is bad enough. (See last week's column "Speech Nazis," 1/25/10.)
That this same alleged legal scholar would utter such total inaccuracies about the law compounds the offense.
1 — The 100-year injunction against foreign firms and individuals influencing our internal elections remains. The court did not reverse that.
2 — The High Court in Citizens United vs. the Federal Communications Commission did not open the "floodgates" to anything other than the multiple voices whose interests now can be heard. At one time, a survey showed that at least 80 percent of Americans belong to one "special interest" or another. The only "special interests" that threaten the democratic process are those that would muzzle the right of Americans to express themselves — whether it is through advertizing, contributing to their causes/candidates, or whatever. (Another such threat would be those "public servants" who fancy themselves public masters and who seek — behind closed doors — to ram through 2,000-plus pages of "health care" legislation in defiance of public opinion.)
Before we outline our next point, let it be stated for the record that this column does not believe the Supreme Court is or should be above criticism. Those who know me or my writings over the years will testify to that.
What was unseemly about President Obama's outburst the night of January 27 was his calling out the justices who had been invited by the Congress to attend the session, which they did out of respect for the office of the nation's chief executive.
Moreover, they were seated right in front of him — surrounded (as he knew they were) — by a few hundred of his own political supporters in Congress and the cabinet, and he knew they would be on their feet cheering him and jeering the justices.
The president has every right to criticize the court — as many of his predecessors have also done. And the jurists are big boys and girls who can "take it."
What is inappropriate is the setting, and the appearance of an attempt on the part of one branch of government to intimidate another. Further, the president's obvious encouragement of the jeering had the aura of a mob wolfpack mentality — vaguely reminiscent of the "hanging parties" in the old western movies. It would be interesting to know if Chief Justice John Roberts had anticipated the attack, then tried — and failed — to persuade is fellow justices to walk out in that event.
As it was, Justice Samuel Alito was roundly (and unfairly) criticized for merely shaking his head and quietly mouthing the words "Not true" or "That is not true." Less attention was paid to Justice Sonya Sotomayor (an Obama appointee who voted in the minority on Citizens United, as she raised her eyebrows at the president's attack).
In an earlier era, another president was elected to the White House on the anxiety of bad economic times, and took precisely the same contemptuous attitude toward a Supreme Court that would not bend to his will.
Having been re-elected to a second term by a spectacular landslide in 1936 — carrying all but two states — Franklin Delano Roosevelt interpreted such popular approval as the green light to do with power whatever he wished.
With four of the High Court's justices seated at his inaugural — including Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes, who swore him in — the newly re-elected president ominously intoned, "We are beginning to wipe out the line that divides the practical from the ideal. And in so doing, we are fashioning an instrument of unimagined power for the establishment of a morally better world." (Italics added.) That declaration stunned even some of FDR's allies — who, wrote historian Amity Shlaes, were "taken aback" by such breathtaking assertion of raw power.
Apparently Roosevelt — like Obama decades later, an alumnus of Harvard Law School — imagined the voters' 11 million vote margin had bestowed upon him all the power of a monarch.
Mr. Roosevelt threatened "woe or even worse for anyone who did not sanction" his agenda, according to Shlaes' The Forgotten Man. Further, he added, one of the groups whose cooperation would be required was the Supreme Court, because the voters had made it clear they would "insist that every agency of popular government" — the court included — "use effective instruments to carry out their will."
An astounding disregard for the "checks and balances" by which the founders had intended for the three branches of government to balance each other.
Shortly thereafter, FDR proposed to expand the Supreme Court — or pack it with new members — stack it with his appointed acolytes — so as bend it to his will — thus making the judicial branch of government nothing more than a branch of his fiefdom. That was where this power-mad president got his comeuppance. The same people who elected him saw right through it, and the popular uproar was such that ultimately, he had to concede this ploy would not fly. Roosevelt lost the battle but won the war, as the recalcitrant justices one by one retired or backed down.
Roosevelt did not even bother to acknowledge the separation of powers. 73 years later, Obama paid lip service for such power separation, but then encouraged a mob pile-on as attempted intimidation.
Hypocrisy?
There were, of course, other unseemly and high-handed segments in President Obama's SOTU speech the other night. Such as — making easy whipping boys of the lobbyists (most of whom are engaged in honorable pursuits representing legitimate interests of millions of Americans) — only to turn around the next day and invite those same lobbyists to secret White House discussions of the issues.
As one of them put it in a comment to The Hill newspaper, "Bash lobbyists, then reach out to us. Bash lobbyists [while] I have received four Democratic invitations for fundraisers." Translation: Pay up or we'll bash you again, and retaliate in other ways.
Ah yes, change! Isn't it exhilarating? Next time, send the constitutionally-required State of the Union message by e-mail.

In what could be called the most car-centric show we've ever done, we present to you, beloved viewer, our thoughts on the 2018 Subaru BRZ tS. I mean we are a car show, in theory, and we to talk about cars, but we really put a hat on a hat on a big wing on this one.
We were able to spend quite a bit of time with this snappy little car and besides making a really fun video, which you should totally watch, we took in a lot of information, thoughts, and feelings about the 2018 Subaru BRZ tS.
In this episode we discuss the reason that car has stayed in our heads, how to bargain with a toddler, wacky concept cars, Dave's mechanical mis-adventures. So yeah, car show!

Just to the East of Sellwood-Moreland is the stately Portland neighborhood of Eastmoreland. Large well maintained classic Portland homes and manicured lawns are typical here, but what is unexpected is the stunning and obvious love of trees. Eastmoreland takes their incredible trees seriously and it shows in the overall beauty of this historic Portland neighborhood. The neighborhood of Eastmoreland is convenient to Downtown Portland and very close to Lake Oswego and Dunthorpe as well. Eastmoreland homes are quite desirable and the neighborhood has enjoyed positive appreciation real estate rates in year over year comparisons.


We all know how difficult it is to grab a few minutes to yourself when you have children, but if you can find a bit of me time, then I can thoroughly recommend treating yourself to a Space Mask – who could resist the tagline 'Interstellar Relaxation'? Over a decade working on a fashion glossy has made me a bit of a sceptic when it comes to beauty products (I've tried 'em all), but I have to say that these cool little eye masks really live up to their claims. When you open the little pouch and remove the star-spangled mask it starts heating up (iron particles reacting with oxygen molecules), so pop it over your eyes hooking the elastic loops over your ears. Then, lie back and relax for fifteen minutes – on the bed, in the bath, wherever you fancy. I genuinely felt relaxed and refreshed when I took the mask off and my weary, contact lens-wearing eyes felt less dry and stressed. Each mask is infused with jasmine, which is one of my favourite fragrances, so I found it particularly soothing. Space Masks come in boxes of five for £15 and would make an ideal gift for a sleep-deprived new mama (or old one, for that matter) or anyone who needs a little help to drift off.


The school should focus on helping young people learn to use their minds well.
The school's goals should be simple: that each student master a limited number of essential skills and areas of knowledge.
The school's goals should apply to all students, while the means to these goals will vary as those students themselves vary.
Teaching and learning should be personalized to the maximum feasible extent.
The governing practical metaphor of the school should be "student as worker", rather than the more familiar metaphor of "teacher as deliverer of instructional services".
Demonstration of mastery teaching and learning should be documented and assessed with tools based on student performance of real tasks.
The tone of the school should explicitly and selfconsciously stress values of unanxious expectation, of trust, and of decency.
The principal and teachers should perceive themselves as generalists first (teachers in general education) and specialists second (experts in one particular discipline).
Ultimate administrative and budget targets should include student loads that promote personalization.
The school should demonstrate non-discriminatory and inclusive policies, practices, and pedagogies.

Of all the Charismatic gifts, the gift of healing is the easiest to either substantiate or prove false. Someone is either healed or they aren't. Cancer either goes away or it doesn't. Depression either lifts or it remains. Back pain is alleviated or it persists. How we approach the gift of healing, then, matters. It is best, and most Biblically faithful, to think about the gift of healing in relation to the diversity of illness and the significance of faith.
The "gift of healing," then, is really diversified and manifests differently for different illnesses and by different people. Storms goes on to add, that we should not "accept the erroneous idea that if anyone could ever heal, he could always heal." We note that there are many cases where sickness lingers even in the Apostolic era. This is the case with Epaphroditus (Phil. 2:25-30), Timothy (1 Timothy 5:23), and Trophimus (2 Timothy 4:20). If this was true in time of the Apostles, we should not assume that healing will always happen in our contemporary setting. On the one hand, then, it is easy to spot fakes. If a miracle worker claims to have healed a paraplegic, and yet the remain bound to their wheel chair we can clearly prove their claim false. On the other hand, however, we note that sometimes those who may have healed in the past are unable to heal in the present. A lack of healing may not necessarily prove that someone's claims to the gift are completely invalid. It just reminds us that gifts work in diversity and sometimes God withholds the healing even still. Healing at-will does not exist according to the New Testament, but a lack of healing does not negate the existence of the gift.
It's also important to emphasizes this gifts relationship to both faith and prayer. The relationship between faith and healing is a complex one, and has often been wrongly understood. There are those who believe that a lack of healing is to be attributed to a lack of faith. After all, it is pointed out, the New Testament often draws a line from faith to healing. So, Jesus can say, "Your faith has made you well" (Mark 5:34). He can say to the two blind men, "According to your faith be it done to you" (Matt. 9:28-29). Within the Gospels there is often a sense in which faith in Jesus' ability to heal affects the outcome. Clearly, of course, if we ask God to do something, but in our hearts we don't really believe He can then we are not truly resting in the character and power of our God. Faith is an important aspect of healing. The author of Hebrews notes that faith leads us to approach God with the confidence that He exists and rewards those who earnestly seek Him (Heb. 11:6).
We may say the same of the father with the demon possessed son in Mark 9. He believed, yet he acknowledge the limitations of his faith. "Help my unbelief," was his earnest prayer. Healing is an act of God's mercy, and therefore it is not finally and fully contingent upon our faith. Nor is it ever a right to be owed, as if our faith puts God in our debt. We have faith because we know God's character and power, but He may yet withhold healing for His greater purposes. Recall that the gift of healing is just that, a gift.
The fact, however, that healing is an act of God's mercy given by Him, means that we must cry out to Him. The gift of faith is imparted by divine grace through the prayer-dependent people of God. We do not possess healing, God heals. We cry out to Him. The gift of healing, then, works closely with the gift of faith. We see this evident in such a passage as James 5:16, where the prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much. So, the gift of healing is experienced through the laying of hands on another and praying expectantly – though not presumptuously – that God would deliver.
How we think about this gift is important. It can save us from false assumptions about it, wrong practices of it, and terrible abuses of it. The gift of healing is a diversified gift that comes through prayer by God's grace when He deems appropriate. The lack of healing is not a denial of the gift, the presence of the gift in the past is not a promise of its use in a given present moment, and its is always dependent upon God's grace.
