Dieter Ilg (* 30. September 1961 in Offenburg) ist ein deutscher Jazzmusiker (Kontrabass, Komposition). Nach Wolf Kampmann liegt seine Bedeutung weniger in seinen herausragenden spielerischen Fähigkeiten als in den von ihm gefundenen Wegen, Jazz und europäische Melodien "unprätentiös" zu vereinen.

Leben und Wirken

Ilg wurde 1979 von Joe Viera entdeckt und gefördert. Ilg studierte zwischen 1981 und 1986 an der Hochschule für Musik Freiburg klassischen Kontrabass bei Wolfgang Stert; anschließend war er 1986 und 1987 Stipendiat an der Manhattan School of Music.

Ilg gehörte seit 1984 zum Sextett von Viera, dann zu den Mitbegründern der Band von Klaus Ignatzek, mit dem er sieben Alben einspielte. Bereits zwischen 1987 und 1989 war er Mitglied im Quintett von Randy Brecker (Tourneen durch die Vereinigten Staaten und Europa, Schallplattenaufnahmen). Zwischen 1991 und 2004 spielte er im Quintett von Albert Mangelsdorff und Wolfgang Dauner. Zwischen 1994 und 1997 gehörte Ilg zum Trio von Nguyên Lê. Mit Charlie Mariano und Peter Erskine spielte er auf dem Album Ancient Longings von Christoph Stiefel. Ebenfalls mit Mariano formte Ilg von 2001 bis zu Marianos Tod 2009 ein Duo (gemeinsame Tonträger sind A la carte, Eisenhans und Due) mit internationalen Konzerttourneen, in Europa, Indien und Japan. Diese Erfahrung mündete 2008 in das Soloprojekt [Bass] mit zahlreichen Solokonzerten unter anderem beim Jazzfest Berlin 2008. In seinen eigenen Gruppen spielten auch Marc Copland, Roberto di Gioia und Wolfgang Haffner. Er arbeitete weiterhin mit Rolf Kühn, Christof Lauer, Dave Liebman, Bennie Wallace, Sadao Watanabe, Dave Friedman, Trilok Gurtu, Joanne Brackeen, Dhafer Youssef, Nils Landgren, Rebekka Bakken, Till Brönner, Thomas Quasthoff, Klaus Ignatzek und vielen anderen mehr.

Unter eigenem Namen veröffentlichte Ilg 1991 seine erste Produktion Summerhill, mit Randy Brecker, Mike Stern, Bob Berg, Jim Beard und Peter Erskine. Im Trio mit Wolfgang Muthspiel und Steve Argüelles legte er zwischen 1997 und 2001 zwei Studioalben (Folk Songs und Fieldwork) und eine Liveproduktion (LIVEILG) mit Bearbeitungen von Volksliedern vor. 2001 gründete Ilg sein eigenes Label Fullfat ausschließlich mit eigenen Produktionen. Ein Beispiel dafür ist Otello in Anlehnung an die gleichnamige Oper von Giuseppe Verdi im Trio mit dem Pianisten Rainer Böhm und dem Schlagzeuger Patrice Héral. Dafür erhielt Ilg 2011 einen Echo Jazz. Seit 2011 erscheint Ilgs Musik beim Label ACT. Von seinem Trio wurde seither im Oktober 2011 Otello live at Schloss Elmau, im Januar 2013 Parsifal und im Januar 2015 Mein Beethoven veröffentlicht, 2017 B-A-C-H; 2022 folgte ein Trio-Programm mit Musik von Maurice Ravel. Ilg erhielt 2014 für Parsifal und 2016 für Mein Beethoven einen EchoJazz.

2018 erschien nach 7-jähriger Zusammenarbeit im Duo der erste Tonträger von Till Brönner und Dieter Ilg: Nightfall (Sony/Okeh). Diese Produktion erhielt 2019 für ihre Verkäufe den Jazz Platin Award.

Ilg ist seit 1995 Lehrbeauftragter für Jazzkontrabass an der Musikhochschule Freiburg, wo er sich vor allem auch um die Allgemeinbildung von zukünftigen Schulmusikern kümmert.

Bedeutung
Ilg gehört zu den Jazzmusikern aus Deutschland, die nach dem Jazz Rough Guide auch international über ein "enormes Renommee" verfügen. Neben der virtuosen Technik ist es Ilgs "erzählende" Spielweise, die Kollegen, Kritiker und Publikum gleichermaßen beeindrucken.

In Memoriam: pin-up photographer Bunny Yeager, 85
May 27, 2014 /in People/by Tom Hoepf

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. (AP) – Bunny Yeager, a model turned pin-up photographer who helped jump-start the career of the then-unknown Bettie Page, died Sunday, her agent said. She was 85 years old.
Yeager died at a North Miami hospice where she had been for about a week, her agent, Ed Christin said.
Yeager's legacy is her cultural impact, from pin-up photography and fashion, helping to popularize the bikini, and influencing other artists such as Cindy Sherman, who read Yeager's guides on photographing nudes and making self-portraits, Christin said.
"Anyone in Miami in the 1950s who wanted a bikini would come to her, and she'd make one," he said.
Yeager became famous for making everyday women, from stay-at-home mothers to airline attendants, feel comfortable enough to bare it all. Her photos of Page in a leopard-print bathing suit standing next to a real cheetah are still well-known today.
"They all wanted to model for me because they knew that I wouldn't take advantage of them," Yeager told The Associated Press during a 2013 interview. "And I wouldn't push them to do nude if they didn't want to do nudes. It wasn't a day when nude photography was prevalent."
Linnea Eleanor Yeager was born in Wilkinsburg, Pa., on March 13, 1929, and in the 1940s became one of the most photographed models in Miami during her early career. She later turned the camera on herself, posing in bathing suits she handmade for her 5-foot-9 frame. Her self-portraits were turned into a book, How I Photograph Myself, in 1964.
She began taking photos of Page in 1954 as she began her career behind the camera.
She published about a dozen books and her work has been displayed in art galleries across the world. Besides the iconic Page photo, Yeager also shot stills of the Swedish actress Ursula Andress, who starred in the 1962 James Bond film Dr. No in a white bikini, a knife sheathed at her side.
Yeager said she had few requests when several magazines began to struggle or went out of business over the last decade, but her career returned to the spotlight in 2010 when the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh held an exhibition of her work. There was also an exhibition in Miami in 2013.
"And I still get that little tingle when I see the photos on the wall," she said of the latter-day attention.
In her studio, Yeager kept a stash of photos no one had seen in cabinets. They will be included in a new book Yeager was finishing, scheduled for publication in September, celebrating the 60th anniversary of Yeager's first photo shoots with Page, Christin said.
"I'm still feeling like a little child and excited over everything new that comes along in my life," Yeager said in 2013. "I don't know where it will lead to yet, but it sounds good to me."

What's worth mentioning is that, in lack of an installer, no new entries are added to the Windows Registry, thus the risk of system errors is not increased. Plus, files are not left behind on the hard disk after removal.
At initialization, the antivirus performs a quick scan on the processes and modules, desktop, folders startup, services, Registry startup and recent files execution, thus covering all supported modules for e-threat checkups.
Starting a scan job requires you to select the directories to include. Aside from a custom task, there is also the possibility to authorize a quick or deep scan, based on the program's preset parameters. There are plenty of settings to ease the process. You can scan for new and unknown viruses, the system locations, or within compressed files.
Scan details show the total scanned files, found threats, fixed and deleted items, along with hidden files. These infected objects can be either deleted or send to quarantine. Plus, you can view a list of files that have not yet received any user action.
Simsesys Antivirus Keygen packs other interesting security options as well. For example, you can view a list of all currently running processes and terminate or freeze the selected ones, check out the current processor activity and memory usage along with other system information (e.g. average physical memoty, pagefile), and lock the autorun.inf file in your local or removable disks.
But you may also manage the applications which automatically run at startup to increase Windows boot, stop active services, view a list of viruses registered by the user manually (i.e. whitelist), perform Windows Registry tweaks (e.g. show user name) and manage the quarantine.
The app certainly comes equipped with many useful features to please the entire audience. It has a good response time, finishes a scan job in reasonable time and uses a low-to-moderate quantity of CPU and RAM. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests, and Simsesys Antivirus did not hang or crash.

Colombia and the United States have built a strong, longstanding relationship based on mutual respect, cooperation and common goals. Democracy, individual freedom and freedom of the press, the rule of law, economic prosperity and the expansion of opportunities for all, are values that both Colombia and the United States share.
In 1810, when Colombia declared its independence from Spain, the United States was one of the first countries to recognize the new republic and establish a resident diplomatic mission. From the Korean War, during which Colombian soldiers fought and gave their lives alongside Americans under the United Nations banner, to the current conflict in Afghanistan, where elite Colombian soldiers contribute their expertise in fighting drug trafficking and terrorism, Colombia and the United States have been allies.
There are many examples of how the two countries have been strategic partners over the years.
During the 1980s, Colombia and the United States began working together to combat the scourge of illegal drugs.
In the 1990s, the two nations signed important agreements on environmental protection, civil aviation, asset sharing and chemical control. The United States and Colombia also signed an important maritime ship-boarding agreement to allow for search of suspected drug-running vessels.
In 2000, the two countries launched Plan Colombia, an ambitious, bipartisan and bilateral cooperation program aimed at fighting drug trafficking and promoting alternatives to drug cultivation and production.
Today, the partnership between Colombia and the United States encompasses a broad range of issues, including: hemispheric security; the fight against international drug trafficking; and anti-terrorism initiatives, among others.
The latest development in this evolving alliance was the recent launch of a Colombia-U.S. High-Level Strategic Security Dialogue (HLSSD) which will allow both countries to discuss new and innovative ways to counter threats like transnational organized crime, terrorism and drug trafficking while continuing to strengthen our bilateral ties.
Also, in the framework of a more innovative agenda, in 2010, the Colombia-U.S. High-Level Partnership Dialogue was launched to enhance greater cooperation on a broad range of issues, such as: social and economic opportunities; science and technology, climate change and environmental protection; energy; culture and education; democracy and human rights; and good governance.
The High-Level Partnership Dialogue has provided a deeper engagement between both governments and the identification of creative ways to advance cooperation in these areas. Its first session was held in Bogotá in October 2010, and its second session took place in Washington, D.C. in May 2011, headed by Colombian Minister of Foreign Affairs, María Ángela Holguín and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. The third session will be held in 2012 in Bogotá.
The decades-long friendship that Colombia and the United States share is one that both nations are committed to maintaining and strengthening.
Over the years, Colombia and the United States have expanded their bilateral relations through cultural exchanges. The Fulbright Commission in Colombia was established in January 1957 through an international agreement between Colombia and the United States. Its mission is to widen the understanding of both countries through cultural and educational exchanges, achieved through grants provided to both Colombian and American students.
Over the past 50 years, more than 3,400 Colombians and Americans combined have been Fulbright scholars, broadening relations between the two countries through academics, science and culture.
The U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) Ambassador's Fund for Cultural Preservation has supported several initiatives to deepen ties between the two nations. Between 2003 and 2004, the program supported the documentation of indigenous traditions in the Sierra Nevada region. In 2005, the Fund supported the conservation of the Apostle Santiago Rampart, built in Cartagena in 1614 and designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1984.
Colombia and the U.S. Smithsonian Institution have also developed a strong relationship. One of the most representative results of this collaboration is a MOU signed in 2009 the Institution and the Ministry of Culture of Colombia, regarding Colombia's participation in the 2011 Folklife Festival. Colombia participated as the featured country, and had the unique opportunity to share its cultural diversity with the more than one million visitors who enjoyed the festival.

Holler's Walk-Off Single Gives Tigers NCAC Tourney Title; Baldwin Named MVP
Denison (26-10, 13-3) 1 1 0 0 0 0 2 4 9 4
DePauw (23-20, 13-3) 0 0 0 4 0 0 1 5 12 0
2B: Emilie Fisher; Laura Bagan
HR: Laura Bagan
Springfield, Ohio - Sidney Holler's single in the bottom of the seventh scored Kaylyn Linder from second and gave third-seed DePauw a 5-4 win over second-seed Denison and the North Coast Athletic Conference Tournament title. With the win, DePauw improved to 23-20 and finished 3-0 at the tournament, marking the first time since 2009 that a team went undefeated through the NCAC double-elimination bracket. Denison finished its season at 26-10.
The Tigers will compete in the NCAA Division III Championship for the 10th time in the last 12 years and extend their streak to five straight years of appearances. The bracket will be released at 1 p.m. on Monday, May 7, on NCAA.com.
Denison took a 2-0 lead with single runs in the first and second innings. Emilie Fisher led off the game with a double, moved to third on Sarah Herold's grounder and scored on Lauren Secaras' sacrifice fly. Laura Bagan's leadoff homer in the second pushed the lead to 2-0.
The score stayed that way until the fourth when Holler led off with a single and moved to second on an error. Pinch-runner Mina Shaw moved to third when Sarah Beischer reached on a bunt single. Megan Montgomery followed with a bunt single that plated Shaw. Abey Bass' bunt single loaded the bases before Bekka Roberts cleared the bases with a single.
Denison tied the game in the top of the seventh as Fisher led off with a single. She was forced at second when Secaras reached on a fielder's choice. Amanda Howell singled Secaras to third before Bagan delivered a two-out, two-run double.
Linder reached on a one-out error in the bottom of the frame before Lauren Godden singled and Holler delivered the game-winning hit.
Holler, Alyssa Nowak, Montgomery and Bass each had two of DePauw's 10 hits, while Lindsey Clemson had three of Denison's nine with Fisher and Bagan adding two apiece.
Emma Baldwin, the tournament MVP, improved to 10-8, while Colleen Hoffman dropped to 9-4.
Joining Baldwin on the all-tournament team from DePauw were Liz Getz, Brooke Bandy and Holler.
The win for Baldwin marked the third time in her four years that she won the title-clinching game over Denison as she finished with a 7-1 career record in NCAC Tournament games with a 1.18 ERA. She also was the 2015 tourney MVP.

Mafisa: from national villain to hero
By webmaster On Dec 6, 2010
ALTHOUGH advocate Sekara Mafisa left Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) with a public image of a dishonest figure, the legacy he leaves as the retiring Ombudsman is a testimony of hope for the institutionalisation of democracy.
Following the victory of the newly formed Basutoland Congress Party (BCP) splinter party, Lesotho Congress for Democracy (LCD) in1998, the first chairperson of Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) advocate Sekara Mafisa was together with his team accused of favouring the LCD.
This perception was pushed so hard by politicians that even the highly educated people found Mafisa responsible for the 1998 political turmoil.
In order to ascertain the alleged fraud and irregularities architectured by Mafisa and his team made up of Letjea Qhobela and Morie Khaebana, a ten member investigation group otherwise known as Langa Commission was set under the auspices of the Southern African Development Community. Having reviewed the statutes, the Langa Commission identified a list of conditions under which election fraud would be possible under Lesotho's electoral laws.
Although the Commission did not mention any evidence of electoral irregularities, it found it difficult to pronounce that "Mafisa did committed no fraud".
Another Commission, led by Justice Leon regretted that "the Langa Commission did not content itself with reporting whether or not the alleged fraud had been proved".
This left many people wondering whether the 1998 elections were rigged or not.
Despite the difficulty in confirming or rejecting the claims of fraud, the commission recommended a rerun of the vote and the dismissal of Mafisa and his team because it "seemed rightly or wrongly the community confidence in the IEC has been eroded".
At a farewell dinner, Mafisa said they (the outgoing IEC) had done nothing to deserve such embarrassment but they had accepted to leave if that was what would bring peace to Lesotho's politics.
He also urged politicians to make their own contribution to the attainment of peace in Lesotho.
Given another opportunity as the country's Ombudsman, Mafisa has done exceptionally well to correct the injustices performed by public enterprises and institutions.
Cases where school principals had taken unfair decisions affecting teachers were been reversed by the astute Ombudsman.
Although in terms of the law, the Ombudsman could not review decisions of the cabinet, the Ombudsman on several cases had come out clearly against members of Cabinet on their individual involvement in issues of injustice.
Many of the poor people in this country whose hope for justice had been shattered by the self-serving officials of public enterprises were helped by the Ombudsman.
When the Transformation Resource Centre led communities ill-treated by the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (LHDA) to call for the Ombudsman's intervention, the unscrupulous officials of this authority had corrupted the whole system.
People were complaining and reporting to various government offices which by right should have brought LHDA officials to book but all those offices seemed to have been convinced that affected communities did not have a case.
It was Mafisa who took time and committed resources to the painstaking inquiry into people's complaints against the giant multinational project whose capitalist interests closed its eyes to the injustices inflicted on the poor.
LHDA had refused to compensate households resettled in urban areas.
The Ombudsman intervened and ruled that affected people should be compensated.
The popularity that the Office of the Ombudsman gained during the term of office of Mafisa has no doubt given hope to many skeptics that public institutions can and should nourish our democracy.
Because the ministries and public enterprises whose wrongs have been corrected by the Ombudsman are mandated to serve certain specific roles, they may in the exercise of their mandate, err and infringe on the rights of other people.
Therefore independent institutions are needed to look at how they perform their duties.
Mafisa has shown that democratic institutions should first demonstrate what they could do with little powers they have.
One of the weaknesses of the office of the Ombudsman in Lesotho is that has extremely limited powers.
What Mafisa has done by using the very same limited power to help people reclaim their rights has created a platform for civil society to call for more powers to the institution.
Around 1998, any person who did not want to come out clearly on any public or even personal matter would be referred to as Mafisa because o oa meneka.
This labelling has been taken from politicians who are actually capable of creating false images about each other and about people who for any reason may appear to be not doing what they want.
In 2010 as Mafisa retires from the office of the Ombudsman, ordinary members of the community say matters that need sober and just intervention e na e batla Mafisa.
Mafisa has been lucky to find opportunity to demonstrate that he is not a dishonest citizen.

EFL Cup: Arsenal vs Liverpool preview, team news, prediction and tips EFL Cup: Arsenal vs Liverpool preview, team news, prediction and tips EFL Cup: Arsenal vs Liverpool preview, team news, prediction and tips
EFL Cup: Arsenal vs Liverpool preview, team news, prediction and tips
Arsenal and Liverpool will go head-to-head in the EFL Cup semi-final second leg at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday. The kick-off is at 21:45 CEST.
Arguably no one, including us, expected Arsenal not to lose at Anfield in the first-leg last week when Granit Xhaka was sent off in the opening 25 minutes of the game. Mikel Arteta's men, however, managed to hold Liverpool down to a goalless draw in Merseyside to pick the 2021/22 EFL Cup finalists between them on Thursday.
In fact, the Gunners have had two more days to prepare for the return leg as their clash with Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday was posponed due to many absentees in Arteta's squad which were caused by injuries, AFCON, suspensions and Covid-19. Liverpool, for their part, cruised past Brentford in the league courtesy of goals from Fabinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Takumi Minamino on Saturday.
Mohamed Elneny, Thomas Partey and Nicolas Pepe will not help the hosts on Thursday due to their involvement at the Africa Cup of Nations while Naby Keita, Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah will miss the upcoming encounter for the visitors for the same reason. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, in turn, has already been released from his AFCON duties through heart lesions, so he's now back in London to undergo medical tests. Xhaka and Martin Odegaard, meanwhile, are ruled out due to suspension and coronavirus while Takehiro Tomiyasu, Cedric Soares, Calum Chambers, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe remain doubtful through minor injuries. Nat Phillips, Harvey Elliott and Thiago Alcantara, for their part, are the only injury absentees in Jurgen Klopp's squad.
Well, even if Liverpool will be missing the likes of Salah and Mane on Thursday, they are still way ahead of Arsenal in terms of their respective performances this season so far. The Gunners, meanwhile, could miss out on no less than 11 first-team players this time around. Hence, we'd rather stick with Klopp's side reaching the final where they'll take on Chelsea.

When booksellers created the early photography market
Isabella Seniuta - UNIVERSITÉ PARIS 1 PANTHÉON-SORBONNE
TOPIC : Visual Arts
PLACES : Europe - North America
PERIOD : The Consolidation of Mass Cultures
DOI : 10.35008/tracs-0239
Photography catalogues attest to a growing transatlantic trade between 1939 and 1961, when booksellers and bibliophiles played a central role in the commercial development of photography in North American institutions.
Nicolas Rauch's Geneva bookshop is where André Jammes (born 1927) decided to hold Europe's first photography auction in June 1961.1 The son of Paris bookseller Paul Jammes (1890-1983), he began buying photographs from his network of dealers in France, Switzerland and England in 1955. Before him, two London booksellers—Maggs Bros. (founded 1853) and Ernest Philip Goldschmidt (1887-1954)—as well as the Swann Galleries auction house in New York contributed to commercially promoting photography from the 1930s to 1960s by publishing catalogues. These publications are key for understanding the emergence of the early photography market in the 1930s because they are among the very rare written sources from this period documenting the prices practiced at the time.
Booksellers and publishers' names are sometimes mentioned, but photography historians have overlooked their role as go-betweens in a transatlantic context. Several explanations may account for this. First, the bookstore community functions by family legacy and word of mouth. It is almost exclusively the domain of a male elite that is hard for outsiders to penetrate. Second, investigating the role of booksellers and publishers comes up against two hurdles: access to documents is difficult, and the information in the catalogues is incomplete. The analysis of these publications, however, opens a first door to the study of the transnational dynamics of a nascent photography market.
From London to New York: the example of Maggs Bros.
In March 1939, the Paris branch of the British bookshop Maggs Bros. published an unprecedented catalogue, the first known source with precise descriptions and prices of historic early photographs. It came out in a special context: 1939 was the centenary of the invention of photography. As François Brunet writes,2 many commemorations, exhibitions and publications in Europe and the United States marked the occasion. For example, the Museum of Modern Art in New York (MoMA) held a major retrospective, "Photography 1839-1937", and published a catalogue edited by the curator, Beaumont Newhall (1908-1993).3 The event was a milestone: this was the first time an art museum hosted a show about the history of photography on such a scale. Until then, photography was seldom exhibited in France. As Éléonore Challine's research shows, most artistic institutions considered it unworthy of their attention.4 Only a few places showed photographs, and even then primarily for their documentary interest, such as the hospital museums in Paris and the 1936 International Exhibition. There were no specialized galleries or auction houses, just fledgling, uncoordinated attempts to commercially promote photography. For example, in 1933 the Braun gallery in Paris held a somewhat successful retrospective called "L'image photographique en France, de Daguerre à nos jours", which met with critical acclaim.
In a context where the commercial and institutional value of photography fluctuated, Maggs Bros. published a catalogue to celebrate the medium's centenary. It was not a survey of the history of photography since its invention, but rather offered objects from the medium's earliest days for sale to a specific readership comprised of collectors and rare book specialists. Entitled Beaux Livres. Manuscrits, miniatures et beaux livres du du xive au xixe siècle,5 the catalogue included objects collected by bibliophiles as well as about a hundred photographs. Why did a catalogue for booklovers have pictures? In the 19th century, photographs printed from paper negatives were put in albums and books to preserve them, which had future consequences: they were acquired by libraries and bookshops. Founded in London in 1853 by Uriah Maggs (1828-1913), Maggs Bros. trades in manuscripts, miniatures and rare books. It is a famous place that includes the British royal family among its customers. The shop's London address is 50 Berkeley Square, while the French branch is located at 93-95 rue de la Boëtie in the eighth arrondissement of Paris.
In the photography section of the 1939 catalogue, the author suggests several strategies to meet the challenges posed by the medium's reproducibility and create rarity. One is to have photographs institutionally validated, which allows the author to estimate them at the highest price. For example, entry 448 is a signed calotype by American portraitist Charles D. Fredericks (1823-1894) from about 1854 showing a group of soldiers in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. William Henry Fox Talbot (1800-1877) invented the calotype in 1841. Because the image is printed directly on paper, calotype, more than any other early process, is a reference point in the history of modernity in photography. The picture is accompanied by the following text: "photograph [...] from Fredericks' store reproduced in the catalogue of the 1937 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York." The author points out that the picture was also reproduced in Beaumont Newhall's 1937 catalogue for the "Photography 1839-1937" show. The reference to MoMA provided institutional validation for Fredericks' work. While the links between Maggs Bros. and MoMA are not known, the entry shows that the formation of the market value of photography in the book trade is concomitant with the circulation of publications on the London-New York axis. An analysis of the Maggs Bros. catalogue reveals the criteria for valuating calotypes, which were taken up several months later in a catalogue by the British bookseller E. P. Goldschmidt.
E. P. Goldschmidt and the formation of a taste for calotype
The approach of British bookseller E. P. Goldschmidt (1887-1954) is a representative example of various attempts to promote photography's market value in the book trade just as the centenary of its invention was being commemorated. While Goldschmidt is barely mentioned in books about the history of photography and none of his peers identified him as an expert, in June 1939 he published Old Books. A Collection of Early Photographs and Books Commemorating the Centenary of Fox Talbot and Daguerre 1839-1939,6 one of the first catalogues to include prices and detailed descriptions. One section focuses entirely on early photography in England.
The catalogue highlights two photographers: painter David Octavius Hill (1802-1870) and technician Robert Adamson (1821-1848). Hill and Adamson teamed up for one of the first reportages in the history of photography a few years after its invention. The 1840s saw two competing photographic processes: the daguerreotype, invented in France by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, and the calotype, developed in England by Fox Talbot. Already an established landscape painter, Hill was fascinated with the possibilities offered by the calotype's pictorial quality, which is similar to charcoal and red chalk drawings. He and Adamson photographed the fishing community of Newhaven at a time when Edinburgh was undergoing major changes. The E. P. Goldschmidt catalogue stands out by considering Hill and Adamson's calotypes a rare genre. Their work won praise from Lady Eastlake, who was not only their model but also one of the first photography critics. Almost a century later, Beaumont Newhall shored up their transatlantic reputation in his catalogue. While the E. P. Goldschmidt catalogue mentioned neither publication, its author drew on the research of Austrian-born historian Heinrich Schwarz (1894-1974), who in 1931 wrote a monograph about Hill and Adamson illustrated with original photographs.7 This significant work, immediately translated into English, inspired some passages of Walter Benjamin's "Kleine Geschichte der Photographie" published in Die Literarische Welt (September-October 1931).8 Several months before the E. P. Goldschmidt catalogue came out, a smaller number of Adamson's photographs had already featured in the one published by Maggs Bros. The example of Hill and Adamson makes it possible to track the development of a photographic continuity between Vienna, Berlin, London and New York.
The Maggs Bros. and E. P. Goldschmidt catalogues reveal that while Hill and Adamson were little-known protagonists in the history of photography, they ranked among the first to commercially promote the medium at a time when the centenary of its invention was being celebrated in conjunction with cultural institutions. Although relegated to a footnote in history, booksellers built a bridge between photography studios, antique dealers and museums. Together and individually, Maggs Bros., E. P. Goldschmidt and their successors, including Weil and Rauch, who were active in the 1950s, played a key role in connecting several institutions. Today, the provenance of photographs can be traced on museum websites. For example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York purchased many pictures from Weil and Rauch, including, for example, prints or albums by Hugh Welch Diamond, Felice Beato, Julia Margaret Cameron, Oscar Gustav Rejlander and Armand-Hippolyte-Louis Fizeau, that were subsequently acquired by numerous other museums.
A study of the provenances of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collections is also helpful in mapping out transatlantic links between booksellers and museums. The examples of Maggs Bros. and E. P. Goldschmidt demonstrate that in the 1930s, photography already transited through booksellers, which helped museums build up their first photography collections. While their catalogues did not create a market in the 1940s, they inspired other booksellers like Weil9 to feature early photographs in theirs. Booksellers' efforts to promote the market value of photography climaxed at a public event: the 1952 sale of the Albert E. Marshall Collection at Swann Auction Galleries in New York.10
Preamble to a market: the Marshall sale in New York (1952)
On February 14, 1952, Swann Auction Galleries, which specializes in old books, held a sale called "The first complete auction of Photographica in America. A panoramic history of the art of photography as applied to book illustration, from its inception up to date". Preceded by a three-day exhibition that was innovative for the time, the auction dispersed the Marshall Collection. Albert E. Marshall was a photography-loving engineer who sourced his collection mainly from booksellers in England and the United States.
Lot 67 was Idylls of the King, a collection of Alfred Tennyson's poems illustrated with photographs by Julia Margaret Cameron. Models and people close to Cameron posed to enact scenes from the poems. The book was acquired by the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Department of Prints and Photographs. The groundbreaking Swann sale treated photography as an art form, with a pre-auction show featuring artist-photographers like Cameron, whose work was seldom exhibited by institutions until then.
The sale had no sequel, nor was it enough to launch the market, probably because there were no groups of competing buyers. Nevertheless, it was a milestone. The catalogue was reissued in 1978 with an introduction by David Margolis, who disclosed that the author was Edwin V. Halbemeir. Margolis pointed out that Halbemeir researched Marshall's personal notes and drew from Robert Taft's Photography and the American Scene for the 1952 auction catalogue. Moreover, Popular Photography magazine published an article about the sale that was read by many photography lovers. As John Raeburn showed,11 a photocentric "art world", to borrow Howard Becker's phrase—an informal network of enthusiasts, collectors and experts—had emerged by the 1930s. Popular magazines such as Life published articles about contemporary photographers and their forerunners, including Mathew Brady (1822-1896) and Nadar (1820-1910). When the French bookseller André Jammes came on the scene in the early 1960s, his actions marked a breakthrough: he brought bibliophiles and photography together.
André Jammes and the creation of a transatlantic photography market
In the early 1950s, collector, dealer and historian André Jammes joined the "Société du Vieux Papier", whose members met frequently to talk about photography. During these discussions, Nadar's portraits raised his awareness of photography's importance. At Nicolas Rauch's bookshop on June 13, 1961, Jammes held the first international catalogued auction of early and historic photographs. The event has never been analyzed from a transatlantic perspective.
The sale featured 215 lots including cameras, daguerreotypes and many calotypes. Information about the results is patchy, but in interviews Jammes said it was successful. Today it is known that the sale netted a total of 100,000 Swiss francs, which indicates that prices were low. The buyers included several European and American institutions. In an interview 40 years later, Jammes said:
"A contemporary observer would say it was a commercial failure, but what mattered was the buyers' identity: the Smithsonian Institution in Washington bought many cameras. The National Library acquired important pictures by Herschel and Talbot, while the Newberry Library in Chicago enriched its collection of photomechanical processes. Otto Steinert, representing the Essen Museum, pushed the bidding up against Dr. Lührig of the Agfa Museum, which was being created. A number of institutions showed interest in the catalogue."12
The names Jammes mentioned show that his main target was a North American clientele. His father Paul Jammes, also a bookseller, already had a reputation on the other side of the Atlantic, where he traveled to find rare books. By the early 1960s, many customers from the United States were regulars at Jammes' bookshop. It "was very central and had a good reputation [...] if somebody found an album, they were often told: 'bring it to Jammes'''13 to have it appraised. For example, Hugh Edwards, curator at the Art Institute of Chicago, purchased items from Jammes during the sale and continued to buy photographs from him in later years. So did Newberry Library curator James Wells.
An analysis of the correspondence between Jammes and the German-born photography historian Helmut Gernsheim (1913-1995), held at the Harry Ransom Center in Austin, leads to new hypotheses. In his letters from 1961 to 1963, Jammes wrote about organizing the Geneva sale and mentioned his relationship with Beaumont Newhall and John Szarkowski (1925-2007), the head curator of MoMA's photography department from 1962 to 1991. Moreover, in 1967 Jammes translated the fourth edition of Newhall's authoritative History of Photography from 1839 to the Present. While further research into Szarkowski's archives would be welcome, the correspondence between Jammes and Gernhseim shows that people and ideas were traveling along a London-New York-Paris axis during this period. It also confirms that dealers and collectors had close ties with major cultural institutions during the process of "the cultural transformation of photography into a museum art", as Christopher Phillips wrote.14
Jammes' 1961 sale was based on existing models, notably because he valued the calotype as a work of art. However, he differed from Maggs Bros. and E. P. Goldschmidt by organizing an auction and inviting an international clientele of museum curators and stakeholders in the book trade, thus paving the way for the emergence of an international market and network. It is now known that in the following years the auction helped to increase Jammes' clientele abroad before he dispersed his collection during four sales at Sotheby's between 1998 and 2008.
In the 1960s, Jammes was active with American institutions. In 1969, he organized a major exhibition of his collection in Philadelphia called "French Primitive Photography", whose catalogue was published by the Aperture publishing house.15 However, while many stakeholders in the photography world showed interest in the Jammes sale, it was not until the following decade that a market emerged in parallel with the opening of photography departments in the largest museums in the United States. The 1961 sale, then, foreshadowed a market focusing more on photographer-artists, which really emerged in London during Sotheby's 1970s auctions, especially the one in October 1974 when the American collector Sam Wagstaff, Jammes' customer incidentally, pushed prices for early photography up to unprecedented levels by buying an album of Cameron's photographs for $130,000, a considerable sum at the time.

9 Best Movies About Starting Over That You Should Watching Update 01/2023
Posted on January 7, 2022 by [email protected]
A list of movies that may be streamed or downloaded via internet services.
New Year's resolutions are dangling by a thread just a few days into the new year. Here are some of the best examples of people re-entering the world and starting anew, so you can have some hope that reboots are still possible. During this first weekend of the rest of our life, we can view all of these flicks at the press of a button.
The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel (2011)
This small chamber work about a retiree moving to India is surprisingly emotional and humorous thanks to the performances of Judy Dench, Bill Nighy, Maggie Smith, and Tom Wilkinson.
Les Miserables (2010)
Having a justice-obsessed gendarme on your tail for a few decades trying to throw you in chains for life for stealing a loaf of bread isn't the best motivation to start a new chapter. There were several times when Jean Valjean started from scratch, yet he had the ability to overcome any obstacle.
Breathless (1960)
Original beautiful young people on the run, doing what beautiful young people know how to when they throw it all away in the original beautiful young film.
If you want to scare somebody, point firearms at them and smoke smokes. Faye Dunaway donned her beret for Bonnie and Clyde seven years before Jean Seberg and Jean Paul Belmondo threw away their bourgeoise existences in Jean-Luc Godard's film, which became the foundation of French New Wave cinema.
Jerry Maguire (1996)
Is it possible for a talent scout to be redeemed? This expansive comedy drama asks that question after Tom Cruise's young man on a roll wakes up in a sweat in the middle of the night with a sudden impulse to do it all again. To many, the film is best known for its use of catchphrases.
As a result, these two lines have become so well-known that many people don't even know they were taken from a film. But it's also a powerful drama about the soulless search for something else.
Not exactly a warm-and-fuzzy picture of starting a new life, "political prisoner" Tony Montana's determination to seize the American dream in all its guises yet inspires admiration. Rebuilding himself from the ashes of his previous existence, Tony becomes a disco-era, modern capitalist mogul. Because its makers seem to have ignored the advice of their hero, "don't get high on your own supply," the film often feels like a failure.
To witness Al Pacino's accent-drenched depiction soar to new heights is a never-ending, jaw-dropping joy.
Lost in America (1985)
The funniest parody of yuppie culture's "Let's go touch the indigenous" impulse. With their nest fund in tact, Albert Brooks and Julie Hagerty set off on a road trip from their LA enclave in an RV…and they don't make it very far…
Silver Linings Playbook (2012)
The most outlandish tale of starting over ever told. Two seemingly broken people, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence, attempt to rebuild on the debris of their shattered identities in this off-kilter, humorous, and heartfelt film.
The Quiet Man (1952)
"I'll never fight again," John Wayne says in the film. Even when he hides out in a little Irish village, he still gets into trouble. An enjoyable and heartfelt pastoral piece by director John Ford.
Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1974)
In the original single woman altering her life film. This early Martin Scorsese picture, about a widowed single mother starting over in Arizona with nothing but the clothes on her back, is both funny and heartbreaking. Oscar-winning actress Ellen Burstyn portrays a lady who is seeking to find her identity in the film. In the role of the romantic interest, Kris Kristofferson is usually a standout. Iconic characters never leave your mind in this simple film that served as the inspiration for the TV series "Alice," in which Vic Tayback reprised his role as Mel's Diner owner Vic Tayback.

Q: Application of Cantor-Schroder-Berstein Theorem I am doing a proof to show that the cardinality of $\mathbb{R}$ (set of real numbers) is equal to $\mathbb{R}\times \mathbb{R}$.
I have an injection from $\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$, defined and proven.
As well as proved the existence of an injection from $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ to $\mathbb{R}$, by proving an injection exists from $(0,1)\times(0,1)$ to $(0,1)$ defined by $f(x,y)=0.x_1y_1x_2\dots$ using infinite decimal expansions.
I know that since $(0,1)$ is equipotent to $\mathbb{R}$, there exists an injection. however the question requires defining an injection $g\colon\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}\longrightarrow\mathbb{R}$. How do I define said injection.
The solution of the problem is simple using CSB, however im having trouble defining the second injection after proving its existence.

A: Let $f:(0,1)\to\mathbb{R}$ be the isomorphism of sets,then
 the function $g(r,s)=(f^{-1}(r),f^{-1}(s)) $ from $\mathbb{R}\times\mathbb{R}$ to
$(0,1)\times(0,1)$ is a bijection, so
the function
$$h=f\circ j\circ g,$$ where $j$ is the injection that you find, is an injection.

A: Find an injection $f':[0,1)\times [0,1)\to [0,1).$ Find an injection $h:\Bbb Z\times \Bbb Z\to \Bbb Z.$
For $r\in \Bbb R$ let $r=[r]+${$r$} where $[r]\in \Bbb Z$ and {$r$}$\in [0,1).$
For real $r_1,r_2$ let $g(r_1,r_2)= h([r_1],[r_2]) +f'(${$r_1$},{$r_2$}).

Where Can I Find Free ABA Services for My Autistic Child?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a scientifically-validated approach to autism treatment, and one that is becoming more and more commonly accepted in the global medical community serving ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) patients.
According to a 2015 report from Burning Glass, a market research company, demand for ABAs doubled between 2012 and 2014. But only about 3,000 new Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) joined the workforce in 2014 nation-wide.
At the same time, ASD is estimated to afflict around 3 million Americans of all ages. That leaves quite a gap in available coverage, which can drive up the cost of treatment.
For parents of autistic kids from all demographic groups, this presents a real challenge. Harvard researchers estimated in 2014 that the average annual treatment costs per patient were more than $17,000.
The same report showed that despite the significant expense of providing regular ABA therapy, families with autistic kids didn't usually have to bear the burden of those costs directly thanks to services being made available through the public schools and because of recent reforms to autism therapy insurance reimbursement laws at the state level.
However, other studies offer a more comprehensive picture and have been telling a very different story… because the intensive attention autistic kids require at home often pulls one parent out of the workforce, average incomes in those families tend to plummet.
Reducing The Cost of Care By Finding Free ABA Services
All of these factors lead many families to search for free sources for applied behavior analysis services.
Private ABA Providers
Private clinics treating ASD patients have begun to pop up all across the country. Because they are businesses, they can't afford to simply give away their services. But that does not mean they are not a potential resource for low-cost ABA services.
Many ABA providers offer free consultations. Some go further, offering free or sliding scale services for low-income families.
Social Services Sometimes Offer ABA Assistance
Social service agencies may also be a resource for free or discounted ABA services. Either supported through donations or by government assistance programs, both public and private agencies sometimes provide no or low-cost ABA therapy to qualified families.
This usually requires passing certain standards for income level and diagnosis. Only low-income families with officially diagnosed kids usually qualify. For some agencies, such as those with a mission focused on particular communities or ethnic groups, other standards may also apply.
These services may also be integrated into other programs that do not explicitly offer ABA therapy, such as after-school programs or day-care.
In other cases, the agency may serve as a more centralized resource, providing case management services that can help direct families to other low-cost or free ABA resources.
School Systems Are The Most Common Source For Free ABA Services
The most common source of free ABA services is usually your local school system, however. The IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) of 2004 mandates that school districts provide a free and appropriate public education for all students, including those with disabilities. The district is required to come up with whatever accommodations are necessary to serve a disabled student in the least restrictive environment possible to provide for their education.
Although this does not require the school to provide applied behavior analysis services specifically, in practice most will do so, since it is the only scientifically proven treatment method and one that more and more special education teachers are choosing to focus their graduate studies on learning.
This can result in a lot of free ABA services for ASD kids. In fact, more than $8,000 of the $17,000 cited in the Harvard study was typically absorbed by public schools providing in-class therapy services.
For students with severe cases of ASD, the assistance may extend to in-home services as well. Several court cases have been decided that require schools to provide additional in-home ABA treatment where that treatment was deemed necessary to the student's individual education plan (IEP).
The Best Source of Low Cost ABA Care May Be You!
But the most important, and most accessible, source of free applied behavior analysis treatment available to most parents is surprising: it is the parents themselves.
Although ABAs go through extensive training and a rigorous certification process that includes professional licensing in many states, the principles behind ABA treatment are not difficult to understand. In fact, many parents use similar approaches in child-rearing whether their child is autistic or not.
If you've ever put one of your kids into a time-out for misbehavior, you've been applying the science of behavioral analysis. The technique was invented by one of the father's of modern ABA, Montrose Wolf, and may be among the most widely applied developments of modern psychological practice in the world today.
Many ABA resources are available online for anyone with internet access.

I Love ABA Free Resources Guide
Not only are these resources free, but there is solid research suggesting that some of the most effective autism treatment comes from parents. According to a 2013 article in Spectrum News, an autism research news website, researchers have established that a responsive parenting style, where parents show interest in the things the child focuses on, whether its a favorite game or toy or particular area of interest, leads to improvements in language skills for those children.
Ad-hoc at-home therapy is no replacement for the skilled work certified applied behavior analysts do, but the reverse is also true—parents cannot simply outsource all of their child's treatment and expect positive results.
And your ABA therapist isn't going to have any problem with you supporting the work they do if you are willing to put in some additional work at home; far from it. In fact, most ABAs would welcome the 'home work' and both encourage and assist you in learning to provide consistent, supportive, loving reinforcement for your kid using the most effective techniques known to the ABA community.

I am trying too hard again, trying to please some unknown force – select the right topic, write with relevancy. I abandon two or three ideas. I give up and read instead Moyra Davey's Burn the Diaries (2014), published in conjunction with her exhibition at the Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien. It is about reading and writing and also about starring languidly at a page. I suddenly want to read all the books she has read but when I think of the desert and the blank page, I don't think of Jean Genet as she does but of Edmond Jabès. There are notations in the margins of my Jabès book. (He gave it to me, a long time ago, when he cared.)
I would like them to be received as writing of the vertigo where book opens to book.
This is loving.

Moyra Davey is a photographer and filmmaker but I think of her work as the art of touch. Every stone, bottle, record, book, paper, image, stamp, text, letter, and sign has been touched. In her exhibition: Ornament and Reproach at Murray Guy, every thought has been touched. She caresses surfaces. Her work touches me.
How? Like a lover or a friend or a doctor or perhaps a pianist touching keys?
I have met Moyra Davey twice. I am a little afraid of her. I don't know what to say. She seems quite gentle. I am afraid my words will bruise her sensibility like a bulldozer the earth. Silence is better.
Is there always useless expenditure of writing, no matter what we write?
A car alarm has gone off outside my window. I recognize it – it often goes off in the middle of the night and doesn't stop until the car battery dies. John Cage says that if you let a sound annoy you, it will drive you crazy; but if you think, "Hmmm, that's interesting…how does it mix with other sounds," your attention will drift away even as the noise continues.
It's difficult.
(I was rarely worried about "how to say," but rather, about "how to be silent," Comment-taire, he had noted.)
Moyra – may I call her Moyra since I write intimately as she intimately makes pictures? – photographs objects close at hand: the transparency of empty liquor bottles, the surface of pennies, the new grave stone of a beloved New York City mayor, the wispiness of dust, fingers flipping through record albums at a fundraising sale, a friend whose silhouette resembles a sculpture in the garden, or whose face, the portrait painted in chalk on the sidewalk. Also, letters – that is, correspondence. I think about my own fascination for hand-written communication and how I learned to write by writing letters as she "keeps" journals. (The inscription in my book is all I have to remember him fondly.)

How does one honor correspondence in a digital world? Moyra mails her pictures as if they were letters folded up into themselves, as letters were in the nineteenth century to save the expense of an envelope. Her artistic and her exhibition practices are decidedly not fussy, yet exceedingly attentive. David Lang has written a musical composition based on the code left by colored tape that has sealed her images sent to a curator in Great Britain while her exhibition title comes from a chance encounter with a memorial tablet in a church. But the "reproach" it speaks of is tantalizingly obtuse; as a word, it hovers like the residue of past loves.

Like her images, her writing is a promiscuous correspondence with history – details of her life coinciding with those of Mary Wollstonecraft and her daughter Mary Shelley – giving in to favored authors, the intimacy of submission that is reading. But Moyra shares without forfeiting, visualizing notations we can only partially conceive, that take shape and divide as assuredly as continents; for her imaging, as her writing, is also a reading that will in turn be distinctly different for each of us.
So: a reading before the book, by the author, and a reading after the book, by the reader.
Her touch becomes a composition – visual and audible as it is tactile and textual – to be read in conversation alone. And to be re-read, revisions noted (in the margins), later on by others.
…Reading is a daughter of light).
…O solitude of signs.

orn in Nigeria where she spent some of her formative years, Dr. Ekpo witnessed the alienation and harsh treatment of infertile women – a reality for thousands of women in a society where the inability to have a child makes one "less of a woman". She graduated from Georgia Tech with a B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering with highest honors and from the University of Michigan with a degree in medicine.
As a medical student, Dr. Ekpo spent 2 months in Accra, Ghana conducting research on prevention of HIV transmission from infected pregnant women to their infants. This experience sparked her interest in women's health and she went on to specialize in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), training at Northwestern Memorial/Prentice Women's Hospital in Chicago. Still, her early exposure to the social constructs of infertility fueled her decision to pursue a fellowship in reproductive endocrinology and infertility at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF).
We live in a world that may take fertility for granted. Conversations flow freely about baby showers, nannies and kids after‐school activities; but very few talk about the heartache and disappointment that can be associated with the challenges to conceive and start a family. Dr. Geraldine Ekpo, a reproductive endocrinology and fertility specialist at Laurel Fertility Care in San Francisco, is passionate about changing the conversation and increasing awareness of infertility, especially in minority communities.
Her passion is undeniably raising awareness and improving access to fertility treatment options. During her fellowship at UCSF, Dr. Ekpo was awarded a grant to intern at the World Health Organization (WHO) in Switzerland, where she co‐authored a bulletin on the global estimates of infertility and lack of access to treatment. As a result of this, she was honored to speak at a symposium on "How to Facilitate Access to Reproductive Care Worldwide" at the 2015 American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) Scientific Meeting.
Believing in the common vision to provide patient‐focused and personalized care to optimize outcomes, Dr. Ekpo joined Laurel Fertility Care in September 2015. At Laurel Fertility Care, patients are offered a variety of treatments options to help in creating families including ovulation induction, intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilization, and use of donor oocytes and surrogates. Structural factors such as uterine fibroids and endometriosis, which may reduce the chance to conceive, can also be treated. The physicians at Laurel Fertility Care work with male fertility specialists to assist men without sperm in their ejaculate to identify and possibly freeze sperm. For patients wanting to preserve their fertility, Dr. Ekpo and other providers at Laurel Fertility offer egg and embryo freezing.
Dr. Ekpo is also a clinical instructor at Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where she teaches UCSF OB/GYN residents. She is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology and is an elected member of the Alpha Omega Alpha (AOA) Honor Medical Society, an organization that recognizes excellence in scholarship and the highest ideals in the profession of medicine.

Q: What is the deal about "extension" in "Nested functions are supported as an extension in GNU C"? In the online manual, I can see,

Nested functions are supported as an extension in GNU C, but are not supported by GNU C++.

What does that mean? How do I get that extension?

A: You don't need to get the extension. That is a feature embedded in the GNU C compiler.
FWIW, the extension here point to the extension over the C standard(s). To elaborate, from the online manual

6 . Extensions
GNU C provides several language features not found in ISO standard C. (The -pedantic option directs GCC to print a warning message if any of these features is used.) To test for the availability of these features in conditional compilation, check for a predefined macro GNUC, which is always defined under GCC.

A: Every C compiler supports one or several versions of the language, which could be standard or unofficial versions. For example, GCC supports three versions of the standard, see https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html#Standards.
In addition, GCC supports so-called extensions, additional features for the language, that may exist for developer convenience, or for the purpose of testing experimental features that may make it into later versions of the official C standard. These extensions are enabled by default, so there is no additional package to install, they are just an integral part of the compiler itself.
These extensions should mostly only be used if the specific compiler is the only supported target for the project. Developers usually prioritize portability and conformance to the standards to maximize maintainability of a code base.
About this specific feature, it is important to note that C++11 added the support for lambda functions which probably justifies the lack of support of this extension in G++, as they would conflict without any additional benefit.

A: 1st. The link you mention is for the current GCC development version. At this moment it's v6.0.0. I think you are not really using that. Very likely you are running some v4 or v5 compiler. Try gcc -v to check.
2nd. GCC has a few command line options that control the exact "dialect" you are willing to use. In the specific case, nested functions are not in any current standard (AFAIK) so you need to ensure you are selecting a GNU dialect. The default one is called gnu89 that is "ISO C90 (including some C99 features)". The option -std=gnu11 should select "the most advanced dialect"™. A complete read of the documentation is highly recommended, though.
3rd. Once you know which version you are running you can go to the relevant online documentation and check in the "Extensions to the C Language Family" (I linked to v4.9.3 as an example) whether that extension is available and what's actually about.
I'd say, that's it.


In Costa Mesa, Food Festivals, Travel!
The entrance fee is only $5, but it's cash only so be sure to hit an atm beforehand so you don't pay those oppressive fees. Luckily, most of the food stalls will take card. Be sure to take some time in between food to peruse the vendor village. You can find some interesting local art and crafts.
have you ever had an Arepa before? neither have I. Good thing WeZZarepas was there to open up my world. This Venezuelan/Colombian snack is a sweet white corn cake grilled with cheese.
Elotes have become an essential part of California street food. You can find several stall at the OC Night Market who make them with their own twist. I opted for the standard with Cotija Cheese, mayo, and butter. If you're feeling festive, try it with flamin' hot cheetos or "unicorn style" with purple sprinkles of cheese.
From the Rated R Burger booth I tried my first ramen burger. With Wagyu beef patty, mayo, spring greens, tomato, cheese, and a grilled ramen patty, this was an interesting mix of chewy texture with juicy beef. It was good, but I don't think I'd ever actually crave a ramen burger over a traditional one.
What's a Ramen burger without fries? The Infamous Fries booth serves extra long french fries with your choice of Lobster, Bulgogi, bacon, nori, takoyaki (octopus balls), or nori (seaweed). We went with the bulgogi fries, with sweet marinated beef, kim chi, spicy sauce, and a side of mayo. The texture on these fries was odd, they were soft like mashed potatoes. You definitely need a fork for these guys.
It was also a long wait, so use that time to let things digest and track your blood pressure.
There are all manners of drink receptacles floating around the OC night market, one of them being giant baby bottles. For $15, you can get yourself a mid sized baby bottle with unlimited refills. The drinks range from various iced teas to fruit flavored waters. Find someone you don't mind sharing with and stay hydrated with sugar while you eat all that salty goods.
Grilled cheese sandwiches may very well be proof of the existence of a loving creator. There's never a bad time for the crispy edged, gooey melted goodness of a grilled cheese. You can find them all over the OC night market, ranging from decadent to simple. Rainbow grilled cheese isn't really my thing, but I did partake in a pizza version.
It was good, but I should've tested out some of their more interesting selections, like the Jalapeno Popper sandwich, pesto, or Lobster grilled cheese.
This decadent masterpiece was truly one of the most interesting and flavorful things I had all day. Lots of cheese and spicy sauce with chewy ramen, corn, and jalapenos. A carb/dairy lover's dream.
Okay, So I may be exaggerating with the title, but you seafood lovers can grab yourself a giant fried squid on a stick. It's $15 and can be seasoned with a variety of different blends.
Look at that unhealthy beast. The squid is crazy looking too.
The only thing that would've made it better would be a baby pool filled with marinara sauce and lemon wedges.
The only thing that can truly end an evening of binge eating is a sweet dessert. It's good for the soul and great to cleanse the palate. I was contemplating the traditional Thai dessert of mango and sticky rice, but my friend Eric made an executive decision and went with churros instead.
How does one consume more fried food when so much friend food has already been consumed? with much regret and bravery my dear friends. Cinnamon sugar covered fried dough with dulce de leche, chocolate, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Truly a fine way to end the night.
The "Night Market" concept is getting more popular every year around SoCal, which means more opportunities for us to try new food! I urge you to check out 626 Night markets events (they run this one) because they have been nothing but top notch. It's also a nice way to support some local businesses while stuffing your face. Try to go before 5pm to avoid the rush.


If you have lost a good relationship with your bank, getting a new loan may be more difficult than usual. The clients who are not able to pay their loans back will be offered riskier options. If you are struggling with finances, take a look at some common alternative options. Use them when you need to take loans with no bank account or credit check.
If the relationship with your bank got worse and you don't have a bank account anymore, the odds that you have a high credit score are pretty low.
However, a bad credit history does not mean that you will be rejected by a bank. But what to do when you got denied in a bank?
The possible option is to take a loan from other financial institution, for example, a local government. It would require you to provide the whole stack of documents. One can also ask for help from family or friends, but they not necessarily will have the exact amount you need at the precise moment. Nonetheless, there are chances to take a loan with bad credit and no bank account from other financial institutions.
Where to Find a Loan without a Bank Account?
You might ask why it is so hard to get a loan without bank account. Lenders are often worried about the money they lend to the clients. There are customers who don't have a bank account which is the main reason why lenders get worried most of all. They simply borrow money from different banks and don't pay it back. This way such customers manage their finances and cover financial needs. For this reason, lenders charge high interest rates.
It might seem that bad credit loan lenders don't have anything to worry about because they solve the problem by charging high interest rates. They sometimes reach up to 200, 500 or even 700 percent. However, even high interest rates cannot help the lenders in creating effective solutions to fight with untrustworthy clients.
You may find a lot of online adverts of the companies that claim to offer no credit check loans. The thing is the lenders cannot actually make such claims. Each lender always checks the credit and employment status of every single customer before issuing online loans with no bank account. The good news is that requirements to the clients with bad credit score can be lowered. In this case, lenders conduct kind of soft credit check.
Why a checking account is so important?
Some lenders can use your account information for the purpose of scheduling an automatic debit from this account on the payment date. Another purpose of checking customers' accounts can consist in checking the financial stability of the client. The client's credit history can give the lender a hint about his finances. This information will be used as a part of the credit risk analysis.
In most cases, if you need a bad credit loan, you will have to secure a loan by a collateral.
Except for the payday lenders, most of the lenders require customers to have a valid bank account. This is a basic application requirement for those who would like to take a loan online.
As for the other eligibility requirements, the potential clients need to be at least 18 years old. They must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents, earn a steady monthly income of at least $1,000 after taxes.
Also, customers need to provide work and home phone numbers as well as a valid email address. These basic requirements are the same for all the lenders. Remember that if you take a no credit check loan, you will not be able to get access to brick-and-mortar banks, withdraw cash from ATM and other.
If you are facing financial difficulties, you still can take out a bad credit loan. Let's take a quick look at some of the most popular of the options. We will also consider all the advantages and disadvantages of taking a cash loan without bank account.
One of the most popular tips on how to get a loan without a bank account is to take a title loan. A title loan is a short-term loan that is given to people who are borrowing against the value of their car or other highly valuable items. The bank is taking out 20% to 60% of your item's value.
Depending on the bank, one can find offers for up to 80-90% of the resale price. In this case, a bank account would be definitely required.
When you take a title loan, your car serves as a collateral. You are still allowed to drive it around but if you will not be able to repay your loan, it will be confiscated by a bank and you will lose ownership of the item.
As you can see, this kind of loan is quite expensive and risky. The point is that you can take a title loan if you are able to pay it back within a short period. They are designed to be repaid in a month or so. After the loan term expires, a car will be repossessed.
Compared to the title loans, pawn shop loans are much less risky. The truth is they are also less expensive as you use less valuable items as collateral for the pawn loans. They can include jewelry, electronics, valuable antiques, etc.
Similar to the title loans, the interest rates tend to be very high though they can be negotiable. It depends on your relationship with the pawn shop and previous loans as well as the state laws.
The resale value can be 30% to 60%. After you pay back the percentage of your item resale value in cash, you receive your item back. Otherwise, it will be repossessed.
The customers can typically repay a pawn loan in a few months.
To take loans for bad credit with no bank account from a pawn shop, you need to get your items appraised on the internet. Then, take this appraisal to the pawn shop. You will have to fill out an application form to get your money and a ticket. It usually takes no more than one day. After you repay the loan, you can reclaim your item.
Credit cards can serve as loans for people with bad credit and no bank account. Whenever we make purchases using a credit card, we actually borrow money from the bank. Credit card loans are a viable loan replacement, especially, if you need a short-term assistance. Another point is that you don't need a bank account to use a credit card.
Those who don't have a bank account but are experts in cryptocurrency can take Bitcoin loans. This, however, is quite a risky option as bitcoin is not a stable currency. In addition, it is quite an expensive currency which value changes every day.
U.S. laws don't provide any regulations for lending and borrowing Bitcoins. That's why it is considered an illegal practice. Whenever you are scammed, you will not be able to protect yourself. What makes it more complicated is that Bitcoin lenders usually have their headquarters abroad. So, if you are new to the game, think carefully before you take a Bitcoin loan.
In case, you are taking a payday loan with no bank account required, you are asked neither to secure a loan by a collateral nor to have a bank account.
This loan is designed for customers who have a bad credit score or miss eligibility requirements, for example, a bank account. This short-term kind of loan is quite dangerous. There are the chances that you will have to pay back in interest much more than you borrowed initially. Given the fact that payday loans are not legal in every U.S. state, be careful before you sign.
Make sure you know what you are getting yourself into when you take a payday loan with no bank account needed.
In order to apply, you need to meet a payday lender in person or find the company online, fill out an application form and get your payday loan in cash or by money transfer.
Hope you were able to find lots of useful information about the ways of getting a loan with no bank account and credit check. Things can get complicated if you don't have a good credit history and a saving or checking account. Based on the alternative options above, compare different lenders that don't require a bank account.

Made-for-Snapchat movie comes to Vimeo
The teen thriller Sickhouse, produced by Indigenous Media, was shot and broadcast in real-time, despite the social platform's restrictive structure.
By Bree Rody-Mantha
Sometimes it pays to take a risk.
Indigenous Media learned that when it released its first attempt at a made-for-Snapchat movie, the thriller Sickhouse starring YouTuber Andrea Russett (pictured; 2.5 million YouTube subscribers) and Instagram and Snapchat influencer Sean O'Donnell (one million followers on Instagram). Sickhouse was shot in real-time over a period of five days, from April 29 to May 3, which was also when it aired on Russet's channel on the mobile platform.
Now, Sickhouse has been stitched together and is headed to Vimeo, which will hold the exclusive transactional VOD rights. The film is now available for pre-order and will debut on the platform June 1 for $5.99. It will be presented in Snapchat's signature vertical screen format, and is marketed as a "made-for-mobile" movie. It will also contain extra footage that was not aired during its original Snapchat run.
Perhaps it's the "limited-time" appeal of Snapchat, which deletes all photo and video uploads after 24 hours on the platform, but the movie, according to a release by Indigenous Media, received "millions" of views.
Sickhouse, written and directed by Hannah MacPherson, follows a group of friends who are — fittingly — obsessed with social media. When the gang takes a trip into the woods to explore the infamous "Sickhouse," they quickly find themselves in a deadly situation.
Although Snapchat is increasingly favored by Gen Z audiences — it reportedly sees eight billion video views per day, on par with Facebook's self-reported total, and is most popular with users under the age of 18 — it presents other unique challenges to users (and potential filmmakers).
The platform does not allow for photo or video uploads, only direct, in-app video and photo captures and can only record clips up to 10 seconds long, so vlogs, routines and movies must be shot in real-time, and can only be presented to viewers in 10-second fragments.
While Indigenous Media has not made any public any plans to create another Snapchat movie, Jake Avnet did express in a company statement that he was pleased with the experiment, saying it had been a "leap of faith" to create Sickhouse.

Massara coy regarding renewals and signings: "We are checking if there are opportunities"
Sporting director Ricky Massara refused to give much away regarding renewals and the transfer market before Milan's game against Benevento.
The transfer window does not officially open until January 4 in Italy but that has not stopped intense speculation regarding potential dealings for the Rossoneri as they look to bolster what is looking more and more like a squad that is a well-oiled machine.
Massara was interviewed by Sky Italia before the game against Benevento, and his comments were transcribed by MilanNews.
On the match: "We have to think about our matches and above all about Benevento, a strong team. Many teams have left points here, we have to be careful."
Milan's priority in January is to buy a new centre-back given that injuries have vastly depleted Stefano Pioli's options while Léo Duarte and Mateo Musacchio are not considered part of the plans, and it seems that Mohamed Simakan is the number one target.
On Simakan, Massara commented: "We are checking if there are opportunities on the market, if there are then the club will be ready. For Simakan there are no developments."
Aside from new signings, there is also the delicate issue of two contract renewals for the management to try and sort as Gianluigi Donnarumma and Hakan Calhanoglu are on deals which are set to expire in six months.
Massara, however, remained coy: "There is no significant news."
