Kuwait will order a second C-17 Globemaster III military transport aircraft to United States 2104131
Two Chinese air force pilots died in the crash of Su-27 fighter aircraft 0204131
Posted On Tuesday, 02 April 2013 08:38
World Air Force News - China
Two Chinese air force pilots died in the crash of Su-27 fighter aircraft.
Two Chinese air force pilots died in the crash of their Su-27 fighter jet, the People's Liberation Army said on its website. The jet crashed Sunday afternoon near the city of Rong Cheng in east China's Shandong province when the pilots were on a training mission. There was no collateral damage on the ground, the air force said.
Su-27UBK fighter aircraft of Chinese Air Force
The incident occurred on the beach 200 meters northeast of the Changhuikou Bridge near Rong Cheng City. There were no other details.
Russian aircraft maker Sukhoi on its website said the Su-27, a fourth-generation fighter, was designed in 1969 to provide effective engagement of the U.S. F-15.
China's Global Times said China acquired a total of 40 Su-27UBKs from Russia since 1992. China began producing the Su-27 series in 1996 and has developed at least four versions fully using domestically made parts and subsystems, the newspaper said.

This research aims to collect extracted Herb-MedicinalProperty relations from downloaded herbal-plant documents from several Thai herabal medicinal product associations for creating the herbal-medicinal-property-network based representation. An Herb-MedicinalProperty relation is a semantic relation between one herbal-plant-component concept and several herbal-medicinal-property-concept expressions on texts and vice versa. An herbal-plant-component occurrence is a noun-phrase expression and each herbal-medicinal-property concept occurrence is an event expression by a verb-phrase of an EDU (where 'EDU' is an elementary discourse unit which is a simple sentence or a clause). The extracted Herb-MedicinalProperty relations as the property knowledge represented by a diagram of an herbal-medicinal-property network are the essential information for the social health-care problems. In particularly, the herbal-medicinal-property network based representation benefits a recommendation system of solving health-problems on web-boards. The research has four problems: 1) the problems of the zero anaphora and the textual ellipsis for the herbal named-entity expression 2)how to identify an EDU with the herbal medicinal property concept 3)how to determine the boundary of several EDUs with the herbal medicinal property concepts 4)how to collect the extracted Herb-MedicinalProperty relations for facilely accessing through the relations for the herbal-medicinal-property-network representation. Therefore, we apply the heuristic rules for solving the first problem; using the previous noun as an agent to be the agent of the EDU containing the zero-anaphora agent and using the topic name to solve the textual ellipsis. We propose applying a co-occurrence of N-Words (or N-Word-Co) including N-Word-Co size learning on the verb phrase to identify EDU with the herbal medicinal property concept from the documents. We also apply the similarity-score determination for solving the boundary of several EDUs with the herbal medicinal property concepts. We then apply the matrix consisting 5 features of Herb ID, HerbName, HerbPlantPart Concept, Herbal-Medicinal-Property Concept, and Relation ID to create the network representation of the herbal-medicinal-property network liked CODASYL. The research results provide the 90% precision with 77.5% recall of the Herb-MedicinalProperty relation extraction from the documents.

Samsung's cheaper and smaller Galaxy S10e confirmed in new leaks
Samsung is going to launch its latest flagship smartphones — the Galaxy S10 line, on February 20, and leaks keep coming. Last Monday, we brought the leaks of the low-cost variant of the Samsung Galaxy S10. Now, new leaks are out. The new leaks have confirmed the existence of a cheaper Galaxy S10e from Samsung, coming alongside the standard S10 and bigger S10 Plus.
These new leaks from Slashleaks confirm both the name and the design of the so-called low-cost Galaxy S10e. The leaks from Slashlekas backs the rumours that came from Winfuture earlier.
Major tech news headlines this week — July 13, 2019
This week's major tech headlines — June 29, 2018
The name of the phone was somehow not clear. This was because the very earliest rumours said the name was going to be Galaxy S10 Lite. And that was the main thing that wasn't clear till Slashleaks backed up Winfuture's claim of the phone's name.
Galaxy S10e will have some trade-offs
From all the predictions, the Galaxy S10e will be smaller than its other variants. It will have a smaller 5.8-inch screen, unlike the 6.1-inch of the standard S10 and the 6.4-inch of the S10 Plus.
But there is definitely going to some similarities, after all, they are all S10 family. The S10e just the standard S10 will possess a single punch-hole selfie camera. But it will have only two cameras at the back instead three like the regular S10 and S10 Plus.
S10e will also have a little bigger bezel on the side.
All these trade-offs come at the advantage of a price point lesser than the standard and the extra-packed S10's. Since the phones haven't been launched yet, we would still have to wait for how cheap the S10e will be.
Some rumours, though, point that the phone may cost from around $859 (about ₵4300). To me, that's not really a cheap phone, but in comparison with the others' prices, it may make sense.
It's coming!
February 20 is just at the corner so the wait is nearly over. Samsung will outdoor the Galaxy S10 family at its Unpacked event in San Francisco. Do stay here for more the phones.

What made the experience of listening to Shaman, Sister, Sorceress the most enjoyable?
If you can't do voices without being offensive don't do it. SK sounds like he is well qualified to represent the lolly pop guild. Leon sounds mentally handicapped. Coco sounds like a stereotype as well. I found the performance offensive. I half read this book after reading the first two and listening to this was almost painful.
great story. very inventive and makes the unbelievable believable.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Celia Aurora de Blas?
Someone who wouldn't try to do voices if they couldn't do them well.
You saw him in knights of badassdom, game of thrones, and now in Techno shaman.
Really cool series. pretty bad narration, but not so bad I quit listening.

In June, the UK experienced its hottest temperatures since the 1976 heatwave, when the mercury hit 35oC in Southampton.
Heatwaves of this nature are no longer a thing of the past, and temperatures – especially in cities that suffer the urban heat island effect – are set to rise.
Many factors contribute to overheating risk in new or refurbished homes, including: high proportions of glazing; thermally insulating and single-aspect designs; community heating systems; and inadequate natural ventilation strategies. Buildings that cannot dissipate heat gains are also at risk.
The health and wellbeing impacts of overheating can be significant for residents, resulting in stress, anxiety, sleep deprivation and even early deaths in heatwaves, especially for vulnerable occupants. The situation is predicted to get worse. The Committee on Climate Change estimates that deaths arising from overheating could rise from 2,000 per year in 2015 to 7,000 per year by the 2050s.
The way people experience temperature is subjective too; it can depend on what they're doing, how they're dressed, their health and fitness, and whether they are male or female.
CIBSE's new technical memorandum aims to address the complex way buildings respond to external temperatures and present the industry with a standardised methodology to assess overheating risk. The authors of TM59 Design methodology for the assessment of overheating risk in homes believe it should become an essential item in the designer's toolbox.
TM59 methodology shares its first criterion with that of the earlier TM52 The limits of thermal comfort: avoiding overheating in European buildings – the percentage of hours that cannot exceed the target temperature, based on the running mean. It applies to all occupied spaces. The second criterion is CIBSE Guide A's number of hours exceeding 26oC in bedrooms at night – the temperature above which research shows sleep patterns are disturbed.
Also contained in TM59 are other input parameters for assessing overheating, including prescribed occupancy profiles, internal gains and window-opening profiles.
TM59 requires designers to run simulations based on 24-hour occupancy. 'Lifestyles change – it is now reasonable to assume that people might be at home during the day, so the design needs to be fit for purpose and acceptable at all times,' says TM59 co-author and founding partner at Inkling, Susie Diamond.
The methodology has been tested by a team of industry modellers, who not only tested a standardised model in IES, TAS and Energy Plus software, but also used it on live residential projects. Two such schemes are Arup's Watermeadow Court – a development of 219 apartments across three buildings – and Edith Summerskill House – a 20-storey tower comprising 133 social rented and affordable apartments – both being developed in a joint venture between Stanhope and the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. An initial research project to investigate and develop a consistent methodology for overheating was funded by Arup and Stanhope, which supported the testing of its residential projects during the development of TM59.
After carrying out tests on a sample of Watermeadow Court flats, Arup found that the quantity of glazing on certain façades needed adjusting to help reduce overheating. 'We proposed a few alterations that wouldn't change the architectural intent, but would improve the worst performing flats,' says Chris Eliades, mechanical engineer at Arup.
This involved introducing more solid elements on the façade to reduce glazing areas, as well as using side-hung – instead of top-hung – windows and doors to maximise the openable area and improve ventilation. They also agreed – with both architects Darling Associates and daylighting consultants – different g-values to achieve a good balance between daylight and solar gains.
Additional measures included: highly insulated pipework in corridors; insulated heat interface units; ventilated utility cupboards; LED lighting; and installing mechanical ventilation heat recovery units, with summer bypass and boost mode, to increase the ventilation rate when required.
Despite being mechanically ventilated, the development was tested as a free-running building with positive results. West-facing, single aspect and some top-floor apartments showed a higher risk of overheating.
At Edith Summerskill House, the façade orientation was carefully thought through by architects Henley Halebrown, which had created dual aspect apartments with corner living spaces.
Eliades says, following Arup's intervention, side-hung windows with Juliet balconies were incorporated, achieving a 33% 'openable' glazing area, while internal blinds were included on large, fixed window panes.
Both projects show that TM59 allows designers to achieve an improved design, even in central London. 'It makes you think of all the different aspects affecting overheating at the early design stage,' he says.
A key aspect in TM59 is the use of blinds. If they are part of the mitigation strategy, they must be allowed for in the model, and then installed. 'Designers might be using shading in their calculations at the design stage but – if the developer fails to incorporate shading devices – it makes a huge difference as to how the building will perform in a heatwave,' says Mylona.
The overheating report must also produce dynamic modelling results both with and without blinds, indicating how significant they are in generating a 'pass' result.
Chorafa says the Greater London Authority is currently reviewing its guidance, with a view to adopting TM59 methodology into its energy planning guidance. Other local authorities are expected to follow suit.
The team of modellers will now collate its results from applying TM59 on new projects and come up with rules of thumb for aspects of design that could help prevent overheating.
There's also scope for MVHR manufacturers to improve product ventilation rates without creating excessive noise, and to create efficient bypasses, says Diamond, while window manufacturers may find new solutions for flexible openings that are more acoustically attenuated.
The guidance is timely. In 2017, we have had hotter temperatures than CIBSE's 'extreme' 1976 weather file, and this trend is set to continue. 'Although the 1989 weather file – which TM59 recommends for London – is a robust test, this summer reminds us that it can get warmer, so testing more extreme weather files to mitigate future climate is something designers must consider more and more,' says Chorafa.

Q: How to update range macro when cells in Excel are inserted/deleted I would like to ask if there is a way to update the range specified in a macro when I insert/delete cells.
For example, I have specified the range in a subroutine in my macro to be
Worksheets("Query Screen").Range("M22:M25") = "0"

Now, if I insert a new row between M22 and M25, what can I do to update the range in my macro automatically to be
Worksheets("Query Screen").Range("M22:M26") = "0"

Thus, is it possible to update the macro based on changes in the Excel spreadsheet?

A: As far as I know this isn't possible.
But what you can do:
Give the range you are working on a name: e.g MyRange
After that you can use
Range(ActiveWorkbook.Names("MyRange").RefersTo) = 0

That will automatically be updated after inserting rows or columns

grindcore, interview
Convulsions (20.03.19)
Hola amigos! Finallym Convulsions is on GGGG pages! How are you doing boys?
Hello! Yeah, finally! We took a long time to answer everything, but it's a bit difficult for us, since we live in three different cities. We're doing just fine. A bit busy lately, work sucks, but we try to manage. Thanks for counting on us for this interview!
I`m afraid that I must ask you to tell your band's story – so when, who, why?
Well, Convulsions was born a bit after Human Butchery disbanded, which was the previous band where Héctor and Campos played. It was kinda deathgrind with hints of goregrind here and there, but with they wanted a band to go with a more straightforward direction, more old school, and rawer. Héctor had some songs already written, so they called Binky who then played bass in Rencor (powerviolence/grindcore) and Samu, who played in Onomasy (tech death metal). We knew each other from attending shows because, after all, El Ejido is a pretty small city and in the end, everyone knows each other, especially in a relatively small scene. Thus, Convulsions was born.
Okay, so there been few splits/ep – so where the hell is a full album? Do you know when or if that's going to happen?
We want to focus on a full-length after this year, we have already talked about that and even discussed it with some cools label. We really like the split format, releasing music with bands we like, making friends, working together with DIY ethics… but a full-length has a totally different vibe, and we guess it's time to do it. We've been thinking about re-recording older songs from all the splits and EPs, as well as releasing new songs, of course, but nothing is set in stone yet.
Apart from Convulsions, do you have any other projects on the side?
Campos does vocals in Unrested, old school grindcore band, with members of Disturbance Project and Tu Carne. He and Héctor set up shows in El Ejido, our hometown. They have already played some cool shows, and they are releasing something soon. Samu used to play in Onomasy, which now is on hold, and mostly works on media production. Binky used to play in Rencor, which he left, and now disbanded, and also sets up shows in Málaga, in a kind of squat.
At this point, Convulsions has been a band for like 3 years – how do you see your band in the future? Will you still be doing Convulsions when you're 60?
Hopefully, in the future we will have less restrictions when it comes to travelling and working, so that allows us to play more shows. We've had to decline some really cool offers we couldn't believe. For us it's a thing that we would like to keep doing as long as we can do it at 100%. No one likes to see a band that can't even stand on stage and it's not even the shadow of what it used to be, or bands who come back just because they are "legends". Grindcore has to be energetic and unrelenting, so if we can keep that spirit, we'll keep doing it. Of course, that's if we don't start arguing and split up hahahaha!
For the past few years you've played lots of gigs and shows. What are the unforgettably bad or good experiences that you've had?
Bad experiences are just to learn from. Sure, we've had some shows worse than other, but there's always someone behind who has worked to have equipment, food and shelter ready for us, so even if things don't turn out good, we have to value that. Namedropping is a shitty attitude.
But regarding bad experiences, when we were going to play Grind Here Right Now fest in Germany, in November 2018, it was a complete nightmare. We were supposed to fly from Málaga to Barcelona, and then to Düsseldorf, and rent a car so we could drive to Welmerskirchen. When we were already boarded on the plane in Barcelona to leave, a woman decided on the last minute that she would not fly and left the plane, so the crew had to check the luggage. They checked every single bag in there until they found one that belonged to no one, so the pilot refused to fly with an abandoned bag. We had to leave the plane, they called the cops, firefighters, ambulances, deminers, x-ray scanners, police dogs… to check all the bags. It was crazy, we had more than 4 hours of delay.
Once we finally got to Düsseldorf airport, we found out that our card wasn't accepted to rent cars, so we had to make a whole new booking and pay a huge deposit which took like an hour more. We had to swap our playing schedule with Birdflesh because we would not be there on time.
We arrived like 10 minutes before we started playing, we literally got there, picked up our guitars and started playing. It was a complete rush. Luckily, we could see Rotten Sound and Death Toll 80K. Sharing stage with them has been an awesome experience.
Also, of course playing at OEF has been one of the coolest things ever, but that's taken for granted for any grindcore band!
Could you name your favorite grind/crust bands from Spain?
Sure! The ones we agree on are probably Denak, Looking for an Answer, Rageous Intent, Disturbance Project, Ras, Violent Headache, Psychotic Noise, Nashgul… there are a ton, actually. Also, some newer bands that deserve a listen are Cannibal Ferox, Ernia, Mindcollapse, Lead Coffin, Torso and Sota Terra. Maybe they are not strictly grind/crust, but pretty cool, nonetheless.
One of the more important questions that people might be wondering about – How much can a regular Spanish grinder drink during a gig?)
We thought Spaniards were one of the heaviest drinkers ever, but after seeing people from the Balkans at OEF and other shows, turns out we had a really low standard hahahaha.
A philosophy question. What is grindcore for you?
Probably, the best answer to this, is that it's a way to evade from daily life and problems. We're sick of how the world works, political situation, oppression, work wages, and shit like this, so being able to scream our lungs out of it, making clear how fucked up this system is, and meeting likeminded people in the meantime is what keeps us sane sometimes. Forming a community through noise where shit like that is not allowed, and creating something beautiful out of ugly and extreme noise is something awesome.
The best and the worst grindcore albums ever? Go!
If we want to step outside the classics and the usual mentions (Repulsion, Terrorizer, Napalm Death…), For the best we'd go with Mental Hygiene by Internal Rot, Harsh Realities by Death Toll 80K, Divided We Fall by Excruciating Terror, World Extermination by Insect Warfare, Grindcore by Denak, and Reality Choke by In Disgust.
We would rather focus on the good ones, there are way too much shitty grindcore albums, so making a top of the worst wouldn't be easy!
Guys, do you like tour life? Small smelly buses, a ton of equipment, beer, and tons of new places to play? By the way, do you plan to tour over Europe?
Yes, we enjoy it, although it gets tiresome. Sometimes it seems like it takes forever to reach your destination, and then all you can do is get there, set up, play, and sleep till you have to drive the next day, you don't get to see places or anything. But it's really cool meeting new people, seeing new places…
We have some plans, but it's really hard with our word schedules. Holidays don't come easy and not for all of us at the same time, so we are trying to plan some dates for this summer, but it's not clear yet. We hope to do it soon, though, we really want to.
Thank you so much, and in the end of our talk I want to ask you about your next plans? What should we expect from Convulsions in near time?
We are releasing a couple of split 7"s this year, with Six-Score (grindcore á la Nasum from Austria) and Insect Terror (raw grindcore from Germany). Aside from that, we're playing a couple of really cool fests, Compromiso Fest in Madrid in July, and Smash Your Privilege Fest in Belgium in September.

Tooth Whiteners: 3. How is hydrogen peroxide used to whiten teeth?
Teeth contain organic molecules in their enamel and the dentin. These molecules reflect light and are responsible for their coloration. The more complex these molecules, the more light they reflect and the more teeth appear stained or discoloured.
Tooth colour can be improved by a number of methods and approaches including whitening toothpastes, professional cleaning by scaling and polishing to remove stain and tartar, internal bleaching of non-vital teeth, external bleaching of vital teeth, microabrasion of enamel with abrasives and acid, and placement of tooth-coloured restorations.
Hydrogen peroxide has a whitening effect because it can pass easily into the tooth and break down complex molecules. Less complex molecules that reflect less light lead to a reduction or elimination of the discoloration of both the enamel and the dentin.
Depending on the concentration of peroxide they contain, tooth whiteners and oral hygene products are either freely sold over the counter for home use, dispensed by dentists for home use, or exclusively applied by dentists in their offices. In the European Union, the free sale of oral hygiene products to consumers is only authorised if they contain no more than 0.1% hydrogen peroxide whereas in the USA, whitening products with considerably higher concentrations are sold. In-office bleaching generally uses relatively high levels of whitening agents, for example 25–35% hydrogen peroxide containing products, for rapid treatments.
Several different techniques are used for bleaching teeth at home. The whitening product may be placed in a mouthguard (or tray) that fits over the teeth, applied through adhesive hydrogen peroxide-containing strips that stick to the surface of the teeth, or "painted" on the teeth in the form of a gel.

Study abroad is an Incredible experience and I am so glad I had the opportunity to make it a part of my Geography course. I moved to Brisbane, Australia on the other side of the world, but was amazed at how such a huge journey felt manageable and exciting. The study abroad office was great at answering the hundreds of questions I had and putting me in touch with all the Leeds students who were studying at the same university as me. This meant that when I arrived I had a new group of friends to get settled in with. These people turned out to be some of my best friends and I feel lucky to have met them through the study abroad.
I studied at the University of Queensland In Brisbane. As the name suggests, it is the state university and Queensland is known as The Sunshine State, for obvious reasons. The University is set on a beautiful campus alongside the river, I got a ferry to uni each day! The University brought amazing opportunities including becoming a member of the Volleyball team and studying a Marine Biology Module which took me to a private island in the Great Barrier Reef. Here I swam with turtles, sharks, manta rays and the rest of the Finding Nemo cast!
Studying at the University was extremely enjoyable and rewarding but only accounted for part of my study abroad experience.


No politician from the Christian Democrat family has been appointed as commissioner since 1970, so the Flemish CD&V should, in principle, be in pole position. Yves Leterme, a former prime minister, is one of the names in the frame.
However, Karel De Gucht, the current Trade Commissioner, is thought to want to stay in the College – although this may depend on the success of his Flemish Liberal Open VLD party in the (federal) elections and the subsequent negotiations.
Paul Magnette, the Chairman of the PS and a former energy and climate change minister, is also thought to be interested.
As for the European Parliament elections, Marianne Thyssen, an MEP since 1991, will run again for the CD&V. Ivo Belet will stand down to run for a seat in the Flemish Parliament.
Guy Verhofstadt, the current leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe Group in the European Parliament, will run again, for the Open-VLD – possibly as the Liberal 'figurehead' candidate for the Commission presidency.
Among the Flemish Greens (Groen!), there is competition for a place in the European Parliament between Bart Staes (currently an MEP) and Wouter Van Besien (the party leader). For their Francophone counterparts, Isabelle Durant, a vice-president of the European Parliament, seems set to stand again, as does Philippe Lamberts (potentially sparking a race between the two for the top position).
Siegfried Bracke, a former journalist, is likely to stand for the N-VA, while Derk-Jan Eppink, Belgium's only member of the ECR Group, will stand down (potentially causing some difficulties in the re-formation of that group).
For the Flemish Socialists (sp.a), their is a race between current MEP Kathleen van Brempt and former party leader Caroline Gennez.
Mathieu Grosch, the only representative of the German community to have sat in the European Parliament, has decided not to stand at the next elections.


I typically whip up a batch of cinnamon rolls every 2-3 months. I would do it more often, but I find myself so busy sometimes it just slips my mind. When I do make them I use a classic white bread dough that I knead in my bread machine on the 'dough' setting and then take it out after the first rising to roll out and sprinkle with the filling and make into rolls. If you want to skip that part you can use a store bought bread dough that you let thaw, but I've never found the store bought to be as easy to work with as homemade. It's your call!
Put in the machine in the order listed or in the order your particular brand calls for. Use the dough setting.
When the dough is finished take it out and divide it into half as this recipe makes a 2 pound loaf. You can freeze the extra loaf or double the filling ingredients and make 2 batches of rolls.
Using one of the loaves roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a rectangle approximately 17 X 10 or so. (No, I don't expect you to measure. If it's 15 X 9 that's fine too!).
Spread approximately 1/3 c soft butter over the dough. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon of cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of sugar over the butter. Sprinkle the marshmallows over all.
Starting with the long side, gently and carefully roll the dough up and pinch the end into the dough to seal the roll shut.
Taking a sharp knife slice 1 1/2 inch slices. Place the rolls in a 9" round pan that you've sprayed with Pam. Don't worry if the marshmallows are sneaking out or the slices are uneven. They will double in size and turn out perfectly anyway.
Cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to use or cover and let rise in a warm place until the rolls are double in size. Bake at 350 degrees 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
Turn out of the pan onto greased foil and then flip the rolls back over so the top is up. Let them cool briefly while you mix up the icing.

YOU CAN ADD VIDEO BY YOURSELF.
IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION ASK ME.
Hello. It would help if you put a link to your website in the description so we can click it, instead of only on the topic title? However, I feel what you are trying to do is very difficult. I have seen many people try to grow a website like yours and they are mostly fail. https://www.airvuz.com/ is probably the most successful but even that is not rich I think?


Hello, i was reading around and saw that all of you RXP/RXT guys recomend changing the washers to metal. Which washers are these? What do they go to? And finally, what is the reason for doing this? Thanks guys!
Im sure your going to be told to go and do a search to figure this out but ill fill you in on as much as i know considering I just got mine done not but 2 days ago.
The washers on either side of the gear on the supercharger shaft are ceramic washers when they come from the factory prior to 2008 I believe. At any point these ceramic washers can essentially explode into many little pieces which are then sent directly into the engine internals. If this were to happen a full engine tear down would be in order. If you send your Supercharger to Jerry, he will replace your ceramic washers with metal washers in which you will no longer have to worry about. From what i understand from reading around on these forums is that the 4 strokes are essentially bulletproof except for those washers.
If any information is incorrect please correct me.
Check the links to the left "SC Clutch Failure" & "SC Rebuild Service". When inside the "rebuild service" link, there's a link to where the metal washer are sold, and a picture of where they are located around the supercharger gear.

Q: Programm in C that uses linked lists for printing truth tables Here is a program I have build :
int mynand(int a, int b);
int mynor(int a, int b);
int myxor(int a, int b);
int report(CallBack f , char *gates);
int main( )
{
    CallBack myfunctions[] = {myand, myor, myxor, mynand, mynor};
    char gatename[N][9+1] = {"AndGate" , "OrGate" , "XorGate" , "NandGate" , "NorGate"};
    int i;
    int size = sizeof(myfunctions)/sizeof(CallBack);
    Name temp[N];

    for(i=0; i<size; i++)
    {
        strcpy(temp[i].gates , gatename[i]);
        temp[i].gatename=myfunctions[i];
    }

    for(i=0; i<size; i++)
    {
        printf("\n%s\n" , temp[i].gates);
        report(temp[i].gatename,temp[i].gates);
    }

    return 0;
}
int myand (int a, int b)
{
    return a * b;
}

int myor (int a, int b)
{
    return a + b>0;
}

int mynand (int a, int b)
{
    return !(a * b);
}

int mynor (int a, int b)
{
    return !(a + b);
}

int myxor (int a, int b)
{
    return a*(!(a*b)) + b*(!(a*b));
}

int report(CallBack f , char * gates)
{
    int i , j;

    for(i=0; i<2; i++)
    {
        for(j=0; j<2; j++)
        {
           printf("%d %d %d\n", i , j , f(i ,j));
        }
    }
        printf("\n");

2016 Web Specials
New director general should reform immigration department
Cautiously welcome, but three immediate tasks for new director generalDG of the Immigration Department, says Steven Sim Chee Keong.
I welcome with caution the appointment of Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) outgoing deputy chief commissioner Mustafar Ali as the new director general of the Immigration Department replacing Sakib Kusmi.
The immigration department is in crisis today
The crux of this problem is, on the one hand, the loose border control which allowed between 2-3m undocumented migrants into this country and, on the other hand, the "disorganised, haphazard, random and senseless" migrant workers policy which messed up our own job market.
The two key factors which contributed to these problems are:
firstly the insider syndicate which has been facilitating human trafficking and illegal migration activities, and
secondly, the Malaysian migrant industrial complex, an exclusive and lucrative club of a handful of private contractors supplying services to the immigration department which continues to rake billions of ringgit in profit at the expense of rational economic and job policies.
Mustafar has ample experience in fighting corruption
It is undeniable that Mustafar brings with him, his experience fighting corruption at the highest level being the second man of the MACC. This will certainly be useful in cleaning up the department.
However, what I am afraid is that his hands will be tied by political masters. The MACC's failure to deal with the prime minister's RM2.6bn donation is a deep scar in Mustafar's track record, if any.
As such, will he now be able to stand up against the corrupt in the immigration department?
READ MORE: Support Azalina Othman, special adviser for law and human rights
Full support for the new director general in overhauling the department
Nevertheless, we are willing to lend him the fullest support in cleaning up and reforming the immigration department.
If he is sincere, Mustafar should initiate the following measures within the first month as director general of the immigration department:
Stop and review all private vendor contracts by the immigration department since January 2015. Open tender should be conducted for all contracts from now;
Initiate a high-level inter-departmental investigation team to be lead by the Enforcement Agencies Integrity Commission, together with the MACC and police, to totally crush the insider syndicate operating human trafficking activities;
Support our call for the formation of a royal commission on immigration reform to fully clean up the whole department.
Rest assured, conscientious Members of Parliament and Malaysians will stand with him in his new task if he puts duty before self.
Steven Sim is the Member of Parliament for Bukit Mertajam.

Northern Lights over Belmont House. Photo by Mark Sinclair.
Last night Facebook and other social media sites were buzzing with reports of sightings of the Northern Lights. This morning there were wonderful photographs of what turned out to be a great Aurora show in various colours.
While we can"t guarantee that they will appear when you are at Belmont you have a better chance by being so far north. This is a photo taken by Mark Sinclair who spotted a great display when he was staying at Belmont with his family last October.
But if you want to have a good chance to see for yourself come in the winter – during our long summer days the skies don't get dark enough.

Q: TFS 2013 Express Author Image MSDN states:

Author images: Use images to more easily see the author of each
  commit. If your Git repo remote origin is in a TFS Git team project,
  team members can specify their images in their TFS profiles.

I use git on TFS 2013 Express and I can't see my profile image on any of the commits, neither in TFS nor in VS 2013 history. All I get is the TFS default user image. I've filled git settings on VS 2013 and logged into TFS 2013 with my profile account. TFS is installed on a Windows 7 SP1 box and I've created all windows users to use in TFS.I've noted that on TFS, in the commit details, it's authored and commited by the git user, and it's pushed by the TFS user. Isn't it supposed to show profile images both on TFS and VS 2013?
Here's the TFS user profile setup:
Here's the TFS Commits page:

Here's the VS 2013 Branch history:

A: As I remember, the git avatar in TFS is not taken from your profile but from gravatar.
Edit: In fact, that's if you have enabled the option. Did you have it?

A: Ok, for those who are interested.In a reply from a Microsoft guy, when using TFS the only picture we can get for source control is by using Gravatar.

Happy Second Impact!
by George Phillips, Sep 13th 2000
Neon Genesis Evangelion, the highly controversial anime series by Gainax, claimed the Second Impact occurred today, September 13th 2000. The repercussions of this event lead to the storyline of one of the most bizarre anime series ever produced. Although the Second Impact is nothing more than a plot device created by Eva Director Hideaki Anno, many fans plan to celebrate today (or this weekend) with parties commemorating the ficticious catastrophic event in which nearly one-half of the worlds' population died.
There's no way to know exactly how much Evangelion affected anime fandom, both in the United States and abroad, but its influence remains strong, even 5 years after the original release in Japan. Newsgroups, chatrooms, and web forums (including our own) have discussed Evangelion and its influences and reprocussions.
"Classic" anime series such as Mobile Suit Gundam and Space Battleship Yamato carried as much attention with fandom as does Evangelion currently. Perhaps in another ten years, we can truly consider Evangelion a "classic" series, too. Of course, many fans today already consider Evangelion to be an equal product, if not a superior one, to these other series.
In honor of this day, Gainax is releasing a new CD called "EVANGELION -THE DAY OF SECOND IMPACT-". You can order the CD from places like CDJapan and AnimeNation.
This CD contains Cruel Angel's Thesis (Zenkoku no Tenshi no Thesis), Fly Me To The Moon, and various background themes.
Aside from the CD release, many fans plan to celebrate this day by throwing parties, running Evangelion marathons at club meetings, and dressing up as various characters from the series.
So, grab a drink, queue up some Evangelion episodes, pull out the Evangelion Drinking Game (or make one up yourself) and have a blast -- As R.E.M. puts it, "It's the end of the world as we know it!" and I know that I feel fine.

The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial nightshade Solanum tuberosum. The word "potato" may refer either to the plant itself or to the edible tuber. In the Andes, where the species is indigenous, some other closely related species are cultivated. Potatoes were introduced to Europe in the second half of the 16th century by the Spanish.
Potato has become a staple food in many parts of the world and an integral part of much of the world's food supply. It is the world's fourth-largest food crop, following maize, wheat, and rice.


Outdoor fountains can add incredible attraction to any garden space. We enjoy these small, simple water features. They can transform your back yard into an exotic tropical paradise! If you ever want to move the fountain, simply drain it and you are ready to go. These are relatively low maintenance and consumer friendly additions to your backyard area. Often external plumbing isn't necessary. You need to be cautious about indoor use, because water overspray is always a concern, especially with smaller diameter fountain basins or tiered options.

Lakeshore's proposed 2013 budget is being described as "bare bones" even though it includes a $898,000 spending increase and a 4.4 per cent tax hike.
The extra money will pay for the increased cost of existing services, town officials said this week.
"It's a pretty lean budget," CAO Kirk Foran said. Contractual obligations like the hiring of an extra OPP officer at $130,000 and 1.5 per cent pay increase for staff that will cost $125,000 are non-negotiable items, Foran said. The town also set aside $200,000 to start saving for a new police station, town hall and other big-ticket capital projects that will cost millions.
The tax increase means an extra $51 per year on a home valued at $225,000 on the combined tax bill which includes county and education levies that have yet to be determined.
The only extra in the budget is the $660,000 put aside to pay for a new recreation complex that might have more features like a pool and walking trails than initially planned if the federal government delivers a $17 million grant. The province gave the town $17 million toward the project more than a year ago.
Coun. Len Janisse said if the federal government doesn't give the town a big grant for the recreation complex it will build a facility that's affordable, which probably means a two-ice pad instead of a three-pad facility with no pool until a future phase. If the town doesn't spend all the money it has put aside, it could mean a smaller tax increase for residents, he said.
The town is trying to negotiate with the provincial government to push back a March 2014 deadline for having the recreation complex completed. Construction of the facility is already four months behind schedule.


Intellectual Property in News? Why Not?
This Chapter addresses arguments for and against property rights in news, from the outset of national law efforts to safeguard the efforts of newsgathers, through the various unsuccessful attempts during the early part of the last century to fashion some form of international protection within the Berne Convention on literary and artistic works and the Paris Convention on industrial property. The Chapter next turns to contemporary endeavors to protect newsgatherers against "news aggregation" by online platforms. It considers the extent to which the aggregated content might be copyrightable, and whether, even if the content is protected, various exceptions set out in the Berne Convention permit its unlicensed appropriation.

Tommy Wiseau is doing an animated sci-fi series called 'SpaceWorld'
I'M FED UP WITH THIS 'SPACEWORLD'!
Now that 'The Room', and by extension Tommy Wiseau and Greg Sestero, has been firmly entrenched in popular culture, it was just a matter of time before there was a space-set animated series.
'SpaceWorld' sees Tommy Wiseau as TX, an alien bounty hunter who looks very like Tommy Wiseau and even has those '90s cycling sunglasses. He's chasing an evil warlord called Drogol - voiced by Greg Sestero - across the galaxy when he lands on a strange alien planet and fights him with... Jesus, lasers? Who knows.
To call 'SpaceWorld' crazy is an understatement. Trying to follow Tommy Wiseau's weird, rambling dialogue is hard enough as it is, but throwing in aliens and sci-fi iconography on top of it is just asking for a brain aneurysm. Then again, people watch the likes of 'Rick and Morty' and 90% of that is crazy-ass writing, so who knows?
The first episode of 'SpaceWorld' was posted online earlier this week, but there's no word yet if it's a continuing series or if the likes of Adult Swim have picked it up for a full series. Either way, we now live in a reality where Tommy Wiseau is doing animated sci-fi comedy.
Live with that. Here's the full episode.

Q: Move semantics of a method chained to a constructor I am new to C++ and am trying to get a grip on move semantics.  The following code is a barebones struct I wrote.  It is not the best example of software engineering by any means, but it is just for learning purposes.  It owns a resource, has the copy constructor and copy assignment operator deleted, has a move constructor and a move assignment operator defined, has a destructor, and has a single method that is supposed to return the original object:
struct HasAResource
{
    int* arr;

    HasAResource(int size):
        arr(new int [size])
    {}

    HasAResource(const HasAResource& other) = delete;
    HasAResource& operator=(const HasAResource& other) = delete;

    HasAResource(HasAResource&& other):
        arr(nullptr)
    {
        arr = other.arr;
        other.arr = nullptr;
    }

    HasAResource& operator=(HasAResource&& other)
    {
        if (this != &other)
        {
            delete[] arr;
            arr = other.arr;
            other.arr = nullptr;
        }
        return *this;
    }

    ~HasAResource() { delete[] arr; }

    HasAResource& doStuff()
    {
        return *this;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
    HasAResource x = HasAResource(42).doStuff();
    return 0;
}

In the main function, I attempted to construct an object and call the method on it immediately.  My goal was to modify the temporary object I constructed and them move it to x without making any copies (so that there is only one owner of the resource).  However, the compiler gives me an error related to the deleted copy constructor.  This means that it is trying to make a copy despite my best efforts.
My questions are:

*What exactly is happening here?  Where is the new object an rvalue or an lvalue and why?

*How can I modify this program to achieve the desired behavior, if it is possible?

Once again, my goal is to understand what the language is doing, not the best software engineering practices (like using std::unique_ptr).

A:
My goal was to modify the temporary object I constructed and them move it to x without making any copies

doStuff() does not return a temporary, so there is no rvalue for x to move from. Since the return value of doStuff() is not an rvalue, the compiler can't call your move constructor for x, hence why it tries to call the copy constructor instead and thus fails due to that being delete'd.
In this case, you will need to use std::move() explicitly to convert the returned reference into an rvalue, then the move constructor will be called as expected:
HasAResource x = std::move(HasAResource(42).doStuff());

Demo
Otherwise, change doStuff() to return a new object by value, and let the compiler optimize away that temporary for you using copy elision, eg:
static HasAResource doStuff(int size)
{
    HasAResource x(size);
    x.doStuff();
    return x;
}

HasAResource x = HasAResource::doStuff(42);

Sodbury Jazz Festival heads for Gold
With the final line-up now agreed, the Sodbury Jazz Festival organisers are looking forward to a golden weekend at the end of September.
Heading the big names are Acker Bilk, Jacqui Dankworth and Terry Lightfoot. Both Jacqui and Terry have appeared only once in this area over the past five years, so their attendance at the festival is eagerly anticipated by fans.
Acker Bilk, of course, needs no introduction to local or national audiences. Following the amazing success of his composition 'Stanger on the Shore' in 1962, he has remained an international star for the past 50 years.
Jacqui Dankworth's first forays onto the stage were as an actress, working for many years with the Royal Shakespeare Company and the National Theatre. Soon the plays turned into musicals and Jacqui was playing leading parts in the West End. But the singing bug had hit, and she left the lights of the West End to focus on her own recording career. Jazz critic Dave Gelly describes her as the 'perfect exponent of classic ballads'.
Like Acker, Terry Lightfoot is another leading member of the British trad jazz generation that emerged in the late 50s and early 60s. He began playing jazz whilst still at school, and formed the Terry Lightfoot's Jazzmen in 1955. The band went from strength to strength as part of what became known as the 'Trad Boom', having chart success with 'King Kong', 'True Love' and 'Tavern In The Town'.
Adding support throughout the three days is a line-up of some of the very best jazz musicians from the South West. In the pubs around town you will be able to hear everything from Trad to Mainstream to Latin and Boogie.
On the Saturday of this year's Festival there are two jazz tutorials (5) taking place. The first, led by professional harmonica teacher Ben Hewlett, will explain how to use the harmonica in Jazz and Blues. Then, in the afternoon, there's an opportunity for musicians young and old to bring their instruments and join four professionals for advice on improving their jazz solos.
The Sodbury Jazz Festival takes place from Friday 28th to Sunday 30th September with tickets to the three headline acts available from the Tourist Information Centre. (T.01454 888686). The event is promoted by Sodbury Chamber of Commerce in association with Subsidence Management Ltd and Greenleaf Innovations
In March 2001 Acker was honoured with an MBE for his services to the music industry and in 2005 he was awarded both the BBC Jazz Award for his unique contribution to Jazz in the UK and an Honorary Master of Arts Degree from the University of Bristol. Mr Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band appear in concert at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall on Friday 28th September. The concerts starts at 7.30pm and tickets cost £18.50
Daughter of the legendary, and knighted, John Dankworth and Cleo Laine, Jacqui appears at Chipping Sodbury Town Hall on Saturday 29th September. The concert starts at 8.30pm and tickets cost £16.50
Terry has remained one of Britain's top jazz attractions and has appeared in clubs and theatres all over the world. In 2000 he received the coveted gold badge of merit from the British Academy of Songwriters for his services to music
Supporting acts throughout the weekend include: John Pearce Quartet , Ruth Hammond, Keith Little Quartet with star guest Colin Dawson(tpt) from Germany, Andy and Jane Christie, The Ambassadors of Jazz, Eric Arthur, Raimundo Fernandez and Indira Roman, Dave Newton, Yann Deplechin, The Rod Kelly Trio, and The Ambling Band.

When WWII broke out, African Americans were still relegated to mess rank in the U.S. Navy. B-1, a band of NC A&T students, integrated the Navy's ranks, becoming the first blacks to serve at a general rating. An influential coalition of leaders (Gov. Broughton, Presidents of NC A&T, NC College, UNC, and Fayetteville State) they secured the band's service on the UNC campus. The bandsmen recruited for B-1 had to be excellent musicians, intelligent, and aware that they were part of an experiment that could fail spectacularly if any of them reacted "wrong" to the affronts they would suffer when being denied seats at a restaurant or moved to the back of a bus. They were so good that they were transferred to Pearl Harbor in May 1944, the largest posting of African-American sailors in the world, where they were expected to help quell racial disturbances that were threatening the domestic peace that had been obtained in Hawaii. Mr. Morrow, a WWII veteran of B-1, will be present at the lecture.

A handful of subscribers may have inadvertently received a sneak preview of this week's Science First, which was distributed ahead of schedule due to a glitch last week. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we want to make sure everyone hears about Karen Samy's great work.
This week's Science First highlights the work of Karen Samy, a current recipient of an International Foundation for Ethical Research (IFER) Graduate Fellowship for Alternatives to the Use of Animals in Science.
IFER Graduate Fellowships are awarded annually, through support from the National Anti-Vivisection Society (NAVS), to early career scientists who are developing alternatives to the use of animals in product testing, biomedical research and education.
Karen's project, which is aimed at developing a three-dimensional cell-based model to mimic the microenvironment of the intestine to perform drug permeability studies, expands upon work conducted by a former IFER fellowship recipient, Erica Schlesinger.
Because most medicines are delivered orally, it is important that a drug's intestinal absorption be carefully characterized, as this helps researchers understand how suitable the drug is for oral dosing. A number of models are currently used for these tests, including two-dimensional in vitro models and in vivo animal models. Both approaches have limitations that Karen's work hopes to overcome.
"The existing in vitro standard, the 2-D Transwell model, does not recapitulate the complex in vivo environment of the small intestine," Karen notes, "which leads to a lack of correlation between permeability measurements from the model and absorption observed in vivo for low permeability compounds."
And use of animal models has its limitations too. "The use of animals as in vivo models is complicated by differences in intestinal physiology across the different species," says Karen. "Moreover, there are a lot of ethical as well as cost considerations associated with using animals in drug testing."
With support from IFER, Karen, under the mentorship of Dr. Tejal Desai at the University of California San Francisco, is creating a human-relevant model mimicking the intestinal microenvironment, which she hopes will overcome limitations of existing models. She designed a permeable tubular scaffold and has successfully cultured human intestinal cells in a continuous monolayer on the inside. She is now in the process of testing multiple drugs to assess their permeability across the scaffold in an effort to see how those permeability values compare to values obtained in vivo.
Once her model is optimized, Karen hopes that pharmaceutical companies will use it to test the intestinal permeability of new drugs in order to predict their in vivo absorption across the gut wall. "This would help limit the use of animals in early drug testing and improve the efficiency of the drug development process," Karen notes.
Karen strongly believes that as in vitro models improve to better reflect the complexity seen in vivo, reliance on animal models will be lessened. She plans to continue to contribute to this area of research even after completion of her Ph.D., and hopes to develop a complex in vitro system which would link together multiple organ models for use in studies of drug absorption and metabolism.
NAVS is grateful for the contribution that Karen Samy is making toward the development of animal-free drug testing models. We wish her continued success in her efforts to advance science without harming animals.

Help NAVS and IFER support smarter science—such as Karen's—that advances discovery, innovation and human-relevant solutions without the use of harmful, flawed and costly animal experiments.

Offshore Mission Collecting Data on Wind Turbines
January 26, 2018 / Jo Detz
The studies will determine the impact offshore wind turbines have on birds, such as piping plovers. (istock)
By FRANK CARINI/ecoRI News staff
Migratory sea birds, with tiny transmitters glued to their backs, are flying missions that will determine the collision risk between them and offshore wind turbines and show how they react to these structures.
Last summer Deepwater Wind installed a wildlife tracking station on the easternmost foundation platform at the Block Island Wind Farm, 3 miles off the coast of New Shoreham. The tracking station contains four antennas, plus a receiver that collects data on the migrating patterns of birds that scientists have previously tagged with tiny, high-frequency (VHF) transmitters, weighing about a gram each. These transmitters provide data on the tagged roseate terns, piping plovers, and common terns that fly within a 20-mile radius of the five turbines.
Five years ago researchers from the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the University of Rhode Island and the University of Massachusetts Amherst began studying bird flight patterns off the East Coast. The studies, funded by the U.S. Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), provide data on offshore bird movements to inform conservation efforts.
The Block Island Wind Farm tracking station is one of 35 along the East Coast, including two receiving stations on the southern coast of Block Island. The 35 tracking stations are operated in collaboration with the Motus Wildlife Tracking System, a coordinated network to track migratory animals marked with digital VHF transmitters throughout the Western Hemisphere.
For the past three years, Peter Paton, a professor in the Department of Natural Resources Science at the University of Rhode Island, along with Kim Gaffett and Scott Comings of The Nature Conservancy and UMass researchers, have been using the Block Island tracking stations to help collect data on bird movements in Rhode Island Sound and Long Island Sound. The stations were active until mid-October, and will be re-deployed this spring, as 40 more piping plovers, and roseate and common terns are expected to be tagged this year. The birds are tagged from colonies in Buzzards Bay, Great Gull Island in New York, and in coastal areas of Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
Data compiled during the past three years by Paton and his colleagues will provide baseline information for the Block Island Wind Farm behavioral study, which began last year and will run two more seasons.
Results from these various studies will help agency and industry partners balance renewable-energy development with conservation and will guide the use of this technology at additional offshore sites in the future, according to Fish & Wildlife Service biologist and UMass Amherst researcherPam Loring.
Telemetry technology tracks the movement of "high-priority" bird species such as common terns and American oystercatchers, federally threatened species such as piping plovers and rufa red knots, and federally endangered species such as roseate terns.
Paton said the focus of the work is to understand how migratory birds react to wind turbines, particularly under conditions when it's difficult for observers to see birds, such as at night or during bad weather.
This is done by placing tiny transmitters on birds that emit a signal every 5 seconds for about 160 days. The towers' antennas detect the signal, and by having multiple antennas detect a signal, researchers can triangulate the position of a tagged bird to track its flight path.
Paton said the data will be provided to federal agencies, written up in a report, submitted to an academic journal, and presented at meetings.
"This information hopefully will be useful in creating guidelines for site placement and operation of offshore wind turbines," he said. "Determining the mortality rates for the onshore environment is a little easier. You can count the carcasses on the ground. They are sometimes hard to find, as predators can beat you to the carcasses. But in the offshore environment, they disappear into the ocean."
Each of the Block Island Wind Farm's five turbines is 600 feet high, so, as Paton noted, if the birds they are tracking fly higher than that, their risk of collision is lessened. However, collisions are only part of the problem offshore wind turbines can present to birds. They can also disrupt important foraging grounds for such species as gulls and sea ducks.

After winning three individual titles and setting two American Records, it should be no surprise Florida junior Caeleb Dressel was announced swimmer of the meet on Saturday night at the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Swimming and Diving Championships.
Dressel won the 50 free with an 18.23 on Thursday night, the second fastest performance in history. He followed that up with a win in the 100 fly over old club teammate Joseph Schooling of Texas with a 43.58 thanks to a monster last wall. Schooling had won two in a row in the event and was also the Olympic gold medalist. Schooling was the heavy favorite in the event but was outswum by Dressel in the final.
Dressel finished off his meet with a huge performance in the 100 free, swimming a 40.00, almost cracking an unimaginable barrier that is slowly becoming a reality. He had one more crack at breaking 40 leading off the 400 free relay, but he fell a little short with a 40.48 after a long weekend.
Dressel also swam the fastest 50 free split in history with a 17.71 on the end of Florida's 200 medley relay in the prelims. He has taken the sprint freestyle events to new heights and is expanding the ceiling on what is considered fast in short course yards. The junior has one more year of eligibility and there will be a lot of hype over what he can do next year in Columbus at the 2018 NCAA Championships, assuming he comes back.
Other CSCAA winners were Eddie Reese of Texas for coach of the year. This championship was Reese's 13th total NCAA championship as a head coach. Purdue's Adam Soldati and Steele Johnson won diving coach and diver of the year respectively. Johnson won both springboards and finished second on platform. The Boilermakers had 94.5 points on diving alone.
Is this guy even REAL!!???? Breaking all sorts of barriers!
Wow that is stepping up !! Congrats !
They should have given a tie for this award…Caleb Dressel and Clark Smith.

It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure out what went wrong
Can affirmative action hiring and political correctness kill people?
Cassandra Dollard, a Black female, shot and killed Robert Langley, 46, on February 6th. Dollard was employed as a police officer for Hemingway, South Carolina. Langley allegedly ran a stop sign then wrecked his car when Dollard tried to pull him over. Langley was then shot and killed by Dollard.
Dollard was charged with voluntary manslaughter and already released on a $150k bond. No details about Langley have been given in the media other than his age.
However, we now learn that Dollard was habitually getting in trouble and moving from department to department.
In 2002, she was terminated by the Johnsonville, SC police department for "poor performance." in 2014, she was terminated, by the South Carolina Department of Public Safety [SCDPS], from her job as a State Transport police officer. SCDPS cited multiple acts of "misconduct." The most egregious seems to have been using her service weapon to shoot a dog in the leg while off duty. She neglected to inform her superior officer of the shooting afterward.
In 2017, she sued SCDPS for, you guessed it, racism! Her lawsuit was settled out of court in 2018.
She has also worked for police departments in Lake City and St. Stephens. It is unknown why she left these departments. In total she has worked for five different departments.
So why would another police department hire her? Probably because of race and gender. Hemingway is a small town with a tiny police department. Dollard checked off two boxes. Plus, she had a history of crying racism, and suing. So even if there were warning signs, they may have been afraid to fire her once she was on the job.
