Q: XSD elements with the same name under the same depth I have a question whether this XSD snippet is valid:
<xsd:element name="yolo" minOccurs="0"/>
<xsd:element name="yolo" />

example XML:
<yolo />

thanks

A: Quick answer, the snippet is not valid.
Let's say that you put the above snippet in the following context (to make it clear what do you mean by the same depth, since @Janty got confused by it):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<!-- XML Schema generated by QTAssistant/XSD Module (http://www.paschidev.com) -->
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <xsd:complexType name="test">
        <xsd:sequence>
            <xsd:element name="yolo" minOccurs="0"/>
            <xsd:element name="yolo" />
        </xsd:sequence>
    </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

Assuming you try to above with a .NET XSD processor, you would get the following error:

Multiple definition of element 'http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd:yolo'
  causes the content model to become ambiguous. A content model must be
  formed such that during validation of an element information item
  sequence, the particle contained directly, indirectly or implicitly
  therein with which to attempt to validate each item in the sequence in
  turn can be uniquely determined without examining the content or
  attributes of that item, and without any information about the items
  in the remainder of the sequence.

If you try with a Xerces-based processor...

cos-nonambig: "http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd":yolo and
  "http://tempuri.org/XMLSchema.xsd":yolo (or elements from their
  substitution group) violate "Unique Particle Attribution". During
  validation against this schema, ambiguity would be created for those
  two particles.

The XSD spec describes cos-nonambig here (more or less Microsoft's implementation error message).
However, to add to the confusion, some processors allow you to override the UPA behaviour (specifically or indirectly), so it might very well happen to try the same and get no error... Microsoft does it with EnableUpaCheck and Xerces with their schema-full-checking feature.
Microsoft documentation applies in your case... this is their example... matching, isn't it?
<xs:sequence>
    <xs:element name="A" type="xs:string"/>
    <xs:element name="B" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0"/>
    <xs:element name="B" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>

A: For <yolo />
you should have the below schema
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <xs:element name="yolo" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:schema>

Please use the online tools to generate schema to xml or xml to schema as XSD2XML and XML2XSD

Christians worldwide praying for Syria
Siranush Ghazanchyan Send an email September 7, 2013, 14:33
Christians around the world are praying today for peace in Syria and the wellbeing of millions of refugees who have left their homes because of the fighting, the Christian Today reports.
Pope Francis appealed to the world's 1.2 billion Catholics to join him in a day of prayer and fasting for the country.
"From the bottom of my heart, I would like to express my closeness in prayer and solidarity with all the victims of this conflict, with all those who suffer, especially children, and I invite you to keep alive the hope of peace," he said.
"I appeal to the international community to be more sensitive to this tragic situation and make every effort to help the beloved Syrian nation find a solution to a war that sows destruction and death."
The Pope will be offering his prayers during a mass vigil at St Peter's Square today.
In a letter to Pope Francis, the Grand Mufti of Syria, Ahmad Badreddin Hassou, spiritual leader of Sunni Islam, welcomed the appeal and said he would be joining in praying and fasting for peace in his country.
He thanked the Pope "for this appeal of great humanity, based on faith, to fast and pray together God Almighty in order to bring peace on earth and protect us from the power of evil and oppression".

� More Fireballs from Lee Smith: If Trump Is a Russian Agent, How Come the Village Voice's Gossip Columnist, Who Covered Him For 40 Years and Had a Network of Informants, Has Nothing About It In His Files? | Main | Middlebury Profs Publish Statement of Principles on Free Speech, And It's a Good Start �
Employment-Tracking Firm ADP: Get Ready for a "Blowout" Month of Job Gains
Buy on the rumor, and also buy on the news.
Has Donald Trump already begun to usher in a new era of job creation? The White House will certainly advance that argument after seeing today's ADP report on job growth in February, Trump's first full month as president, and ADP's analyst gives them some ammunition for that claim. The report came in 100,000 jobs higher than analysts' expectations at 298,000 -- "an absolute blowout," CNBC announced...
1. People make decisions based on both current circumstances and expected future circumstances.
2. People's behavior is strongly influenced by their psychological state. Frightened people freeze, unafraid people move and make.
3. It's been a while since a politician talked about getting rich. Reagan talked about it, though he preferred the more elegant and less vulgar word "prosperity," but same thing. Even Republicans tend to talk about "the economy" -- what the hell's that? It's an abstraction about the cumulative impacts of 200 million economic actors. No one can think tangibly about any number greater than twenty. Why are Republicans afraid to talk about individual people becoming prosperous? Have many bought into the leftist logic that making money-- being productive and creating additional wealth -- is "selfish" and "greedy"?
If you've become too refined to plainly state that making money by being productive is a good and moral thing, you've become over-refined to the point of becoming dust.
4. "Animal spirits" seems to be a real thing in mass behavior, such as economic confidence.
5. Obama was the biggest wet blanket ever, and wet blankets smother a fire.
6. So much winning, I'm getting tired of all the winning.
7. PS, Democrats: Try impeaching a guy with a growing economy behind him. Me and my friends tried that in the 90s. Didn't work out too well. Sad!

CORRECTED-UPDATE 2-Gunmen kill six in second church attack in Burkina Faso
By Thiam Ndiaga
Reuters May 12, 2019
(Corrects mayor's first name in paragraph three, Ousmane instead of Boucary, and fixes spelling of "borders" in paragraph 5)
OUAGADOUGOU, May 12 (Reuters) - Gunmen killed six people including a priest outside a Catholic church in Burkina Faso on Sunday, the government said, the second attack on Christians in two weeks in a nation increasingly overrun by jihadists.
Congregants were leaving church around 9 a.m. (0900 GMT) in the town of Dablo in the Central North region when about 20 men encircled them and shot six dead, according to a government statement and local sources.
The attackers then burned the church, looted a pharmacy and some others stores, and left, Dablo mayor Ousmane Zongo told Reuters. The government statement only mentioned the burning of a shop and two vehicles.
"These terrorist groups are now attacking religion with the macabre aim of dividing us," it said.
Burkina Faso has been beset by a rise in attacks in 2019 as groups with links to Islamic State and al Qaeda based in neighboring Mali seek to fuel local tensions and extend their influence over the porous borders of the Sahel, the arid scrubland south of the Sahara.
The government declared a state of emergency in several northern provinces bordering Mali in December because of deadly Islamist attacks.
But violence has only worsened since. Two French soldiers were killed in an operation to rescue four people taken hostage in Burkina last week, France said. Over 100,000 people in Burkina Faso have been displaced by the unrest this year, the United Nations has said.
Roughly 55% to 60% of Burkina Faso's population is Muslim, with up to a quarter Christian. The two groups generally live in peace and frequently intermarry.
Then in late April unidentified gunmen killed a pastor and five congregants at a Protestant church, also in the north, suggesting the violence was taking a religious turn. (Writing by Edward McAllister; Editing by Andrew Cawthorne)

Forum promotes China-Mongolia cultural communication
By Zhu Bochen

A forum to promote sinology in Mongolia as well as the translation of classics both from and into Chinese was held in Beijing on Oct. 29. [Photo courtesy of Chinese Culture Translation and Studies Support Network]
A forum to promote sinology in Mongolia as well as the translation of classics both from and into Chinese was held in Beijing on Oct. 29. Embracing the spirit of the Conference on Dialogue of Asian Civilizations earlier in May, this forum aims to forge stronger people-to-people ties between China and Mongolia, and build a platform of exchange and mutual learning.
In the forum, university professors in liberal arts, scholars, and government officials of both countries shed light on various topics relating to cultural communication. This included the history and future of translating classics, relations between the translation of Asian classics and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the development of sinology in Mongolia and many other topics.
B. Indra, associate professor at the Institute of International Relations of the Mongolian Academy of Sciences, reviewed the history of cultural communication between the two countries in her keynote speech.
"China and Mongolia have been renewing our commitment to promoting people-to-people exchanges every five years since the two countries signed a cooperative agreement in 1994," Indra said.
Indra also noted that people-to-people exchanges could only be achieved when two peoples better understood and appreciated each other's cultures through their respective traditions, customs, as well as their unique philosophy of life.
"Thus, we should place great importance on the translation of the classics between China and Mongolia, as they embody the essence of our cultures," Indra added.
Elaborating on the quality of the translations of Mongolian classics, Chen Ganglong, professor in Mongolian language at Peking University, believed that a good Chinese translation comes from a comprehensive understanding of the history and culture of Mongolia.
"Due to the lack of cultural understanding, people may find it difficult to empathize with the characters in the Chinese translation of Mongolian classics," Chen said.
As this year marks the 70th anniversary of China-Mongolia diplomatic relations, the forum is greatly significant to the promotion of cultural communication between the two countries.
A forum to promote sinology in Mongolia as well as the translation of classics both from and into Chinese was held in Beijing on Oct. 29.


Lady Darby was accused of murder and acquitted. Since the trial, she has fled to her sister's country estate and has managed to avoid the worst of social gossip. When her sister throws a dinner party and someone is brutally murdered, Lady Darby is the first to be blamed by the guests. The only way to prove her innocence and protect her sister's family is to find the real killer.
This is set in the early Victorian period. It's very formal and comes with all the gender roles that the era implied. I actually thought that it was well done to keep balance between historical accuracy and giving women some power and influence in the world. But it's definitely not a feminist novel.
The murder is a bit gory. We don't see the act itself, but we do get descriptions of everything and it is not pleasant? Between the description of the mutilated body and Lady Darby's story itself… not for the faint of heart.
The focus is not the romance. The reason why I liked this so well was because the romance was a subplot. This is a mystery, then a romance. It was subtle and well done. It got a little cheesy at the end, but only the VERY end. It never felt forced or overpowered the plot.
I think I liked this so much because it was different. I read a lot of historical fiction and very few mysteries. My historical fiction seems to land either in the 1920s, 1960s, or Tudor England. The Victorian Era is a new century for me, and while I'm not completely converted, I'll read more of this series.
And I hate being able to guess for sure who the killer is early on.
I knew without question by 75%, but at 50% I had created a whole conspiracy theory about the least likely person. Honestly, it felt like watching Clue.
So this book is not a fluffy romance, it's not the most predictable mystery, and it's not a complete girl power book. But it's sort of a lot of things and it was a fun read on my grueling commute.
Also, can I just say – mystery audiobooks are frustrating. I can't flip to the end to see if I'm right.

Suspected Human Trafficking: Haitians move to High Court seeking release from protective custody
A group of Haitians spotted in Guyana last year
A representative for 26 Haitians who reportedly entered Guyana illegally and are being held pending deportation, has moved to the High Court seeking their release from State custody. The Home Affairs Ministry had said that the Haitians are being held in protective custody as it is suspected that they are victims of human trafficking.
Those in custody are 10 males, nine females and seven children (two boys and five girls).
President of the Association of Haitian Nationals in Guyana, Kesnel Toussaint, through Attorney-at-Law Darren Wade, has filed Habeas Corpus proceedings, asking the court to release his countrymen as they are being held unlawfully. Toussaint argued that their continued detention violates their fundamental right to liberty.
In court documents seen by this publication, Toussaint said that the group of Haitians arrived in Guyana on November 7, 2020, and were granted six months' stay. According to him, they were subsequently arrested by armed Police ranks at the Linden Highway and taken to CID Headquarters where they were processed and legal status ascertained.
Despite this, Toussaint said that his countrymen are still detained and are being kept at a State facility in Region Five (Mahaica-Berbice) where they are not allowed to interact with visitors. He stated that on November 19 and November 24, 2020, Attorneys-at-Law Kean Trotman and John Lindner, respectively, visited the location to see the Haitians but was denied entry.
The President of the Association of Haitian Nationals in Guyana added that Trotman was only able to speak to a few of them through a fence. In an affidavit, he said, "The detainees are kept under armed guard. I have seen a video on social media circulating with the detainees complaining that they are being held under inhumane conditions. My countrymen's detention is unlawful and a contravention of their fundamental rights."
According to court documents, some of the Haitians were staying at a hotel in Georgetown. Their lawyer, Darren Wade, when contacted, said that the matter came up on Friday before High Court Judge Priya Sewnarine-Beharry.
According to Wade, he argued that "It is unlawful to have persons in custody in excess of 72 hours, along with it being a violation of their constitutional rights." The lawyer said that State Counsel Pritima Kissoon was asked by the Judge whether the detainees were granted a six-month stay and whether they were taken before a Magistrate on charges for illegal entry.
However, Wade informed that Kissoon indicated that she was not in a position to indicate this to the court. Wade added that he informed the Judge that they were not taken before a Magistrate for a deportation order to be issued.
Further, Wade said he complained to the Judge that the Haitians were not being allowed access to counsel. "I contended that every additional minute of the detainees' continued incarceration is the continued violation of their constitutionals rights."
Justice Sewnarine-Beharry will hand down her ruling in the matter on December 3, 2020.
Following their detention, the Home Affairs Ministry said that it had teamed up with the Guyana Police Force to investigate the suspected human trafficking involving the Haitian nationals.

Farmer ordered to stop building well on his own land in Khader town
The Israeli army on Tuesday ordered a Palestinian farmer to stop constructing a rainwater harvesting well and an agricultural structure on his land in al-Khader town, south of Bethlehem in the West Bank.
The well and the agricultural structure belong to Abdullah Issa and are located in Wadi Libyar area, according to a local activist.
Issa was also handed a notification ordering him to demolish the well and the structure at the pretext of unlicensed construction.
Recently, the Israeli army issued dozens of arbitrary demolition orders against agricultural structures and wells in al-Khader town.
Israeli forces destroy European-funded water pipeline in Jordan Valley
The Israeli occupation forces on Tuesday morning destroyed a pipeline supplying water to Palestinian Bedouin communities to the east of Tubas, in the northern Jordan Valley.
Speaking with a PIC news correspondent, Palestinian resident of Tubas Hassan Bani Awda said the occupation bulldozers destroyed an 11-kilometer pipeline supplying the villages of al-Ras al-Ahmar, al-Hadidiya, Makhul, and Humsa al-Fouka with much-needed water.
The pipeline has reportedly been funded by an international European NGO.
Head of al-Malih Village Council and the Bedouin Communities in the Jordan Valley, Aref Daraghma, said water pipelines, agricultural structures, and residential makeshift tents have been subjected to destruction by the Israeli occupation forces on a quasi-daily basis.
He added that such moves make part of an ethnic cleansing scheme aiming to force Palestinians out of the area in favor of illegal settlement expansion.
The Jordan Valley has long been a strategic area of land grab by the occupation authorities following Israel's occupation of the territory in 1967.
Demolitions of Palestinian infrastructure and residential tents occur frequently in the area, with Bedouin and herding communities being particularly vulnerable to such policies.
IOF cuts down dozens of olive trees in Qalqilya
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) cut down dozens of olive trees on Sunday to the east of Qalqilya city as a prelude to building a road serving settlements established on Palestinian citizens' agricultural lands.
Mousa Tabib, activist in the field of settlement, said that an Israeli army force stormed the citizens' lands in Azzun and Izbat al-Tabib villages in Qalqilya in the early morning and started cutting dozens of olive trees.
Tabib told Quds Press news agency that more than 250 olive trees were cut down including tens of perennial trees in preparation for building the road linking between the Israeli settlements Karnei Shomron and Alfei Menashe, which are built on Palestinian lands.
He pointed out that the three kilometers long road will be constructed in the targeted area as a prelude to another 10-km-long road running through the citizens' lands in Azzun, Izbat al-Tabib and the surrounding areas.
He added that the Israeli Supreme Court has rejected a petition by the Palestinian families affected by this Israeli move and asked them to submit papers proving their ownership of the targeted lands.
The Palestinian activist said that the Israeli authorities claim that the construction of this road aims to secure protection for the Israeli settlers from Palestinian attacks.
Tabib said that the people of the targeted lands will start protests against the confiscation of thousands of dunums of their agricultural lands and the construction of the road. He noted that this Israeli step challenges the international community after the UN Security Council passed the anti-settlement resolution.
One of Gaza power plant's generators shut down
The Palestinian energy and natural resources authority condemned the exceptional closure of Karm Abu Salem crossing on Friday in front of the entry of extra fuel quantities in full disregard to its ceaseless efforts and demands.
The energy authority announced, in a press statement, that "due to the closure of the crossing on Friday, one of Gaza power plant's generators was unfortunately shut down temporarily. Only one generator is left working which is due to the lack of enough fuel".
This was coincided with the breakdown of the Egyptian lines for a few days which affected the current power distribution schedules.
The authority renewed its appeals to the concerned authorities for opening the crossing and entering extra quantities of fuel as well as allowing postpaid prices in order not to aggravate the crisis.
The authority also asked the public to cooperate with the teams of the power distribution company in order to overcome the dilemma and undertook to operate the generator once the crossing is opened and extra fuel is entered.
Earlier in a statement on Thursday, the authority explained the reason of its inability to run the power plant completely by saying that the taxes (Value Added Tax, Blue Tax and other taxes) increase the fuel price leading to shortage at the power plant.
The statement showed some details on the power plant's fuel costs and taxes over the year 2016. 78 million liters were imported with a total cost estimated at 259 million shekels. 135 million shekels of which were spent on different taxes on fuel prices after the partial exemption of the Blue tax.
This means that the taxes reached 52% out of the total fuel cost with the partial exemption of the Blue tax. The authority pointed out that if all taxes are cancelled, the power plant will be fully operated.
For 10 years, the Gaza Strip has been suffering from a massive electricity crisis especially in the past days leaving Gazans forced to live according to a daily distribution table including 4 hours of electricity connection and 12 hours of electricity cut.
IOF blocks construction of Palestinian agricultural road
The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Thursday hindered the construction of an agricultural road for Palestinian farmers in al-Khalil's southern village of al-Burj.
Head of al-Burj village council, Sarhan Amayra, said the occupation army stopped the construction of an agricultural road started by Palestinian farmers to smooth access into their land lots.
The stop-construction order was slapped on Palestinian farmers under the pretext of its proximity to the apartheid wall.
Amayra added that recently the IOF set up concrete pillars of up to a seven-meter height each along the apartheid wall in an attempt to dismember the village from its Palestinian environs.
Amayra underlined that hundreds of dunums of Palestinian lands have been seized by the occupation authorities in favor of the separation wall.
He further spoke out against the daily crackdowns, abrupt land confiscations, and movement restrictions slapped by the IOF against Palestinian farmers.
An Israeli 770-kilometer-long apartheid wall, 50% of which is still under construction, has severed the ties between Palestinian towns and villages across the occupied West Bank.
Israel starts to spray pesticides along Gaza border
The Palestinian ministry of agriculture in Gaza said that the Israeli occupation authorities have started to spray pesticides by planes along the Gaza border.
Adham Bassiouni, an official at the Ministry of Agriculture, considered this measure as "a kind of extra siege" practiced by the IOA against the Palestinian farmers.
"This Israeli repeated procedure in recent years aims to destroy the agricultural land and to cut off the livelihood of their owners," he added.
He noted that the Israeli pesticides have a negative effect on Palestinian crops. This sometimes causes huge losses for Palestinian farmers in the besieged territory. Last year, he explained, most of the crops in over 4000 dunums near the border were damaged.
Bassiouni highlighted that the ministry asked the office of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the Gaza Strip to coordinate with the IOA in order to know the dates of spraying pesticides but the latter replied that it was going to be sprayed between December 25 and January 15 which was not enough to take preventive measures by the ministry.
IOA knocks down 10 Palestinian water wells in Bethlehem
The Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) on Wednesday morning knocked down water wells in Bethlehem's eastern town of Tekoua'.
Tekoua' Mayor, Tayseer Abu Mufreh, said Israeli occupation vehicles demolished ten water walls used by Palestinian farmers under the pretext of unlicensed construction.
At the same time, the occupation forces prevented the land owners from reaching the demolition site.
Tekoua' Mayor dubbed the demolition illegal and groundless as no court rule has been issued regarding the affair.
Israeli bulldozers damage power line in Deir Ballut town
Local residents from Deir Ballut town in Salfit has complained that the Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) destroyed one of their power lines east of the town during the ongoing bulldozing activities in the area.
The local residents told a news reporter from the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the power line became a constant threat to their lives, especially the lives of their children, and they stressed the need to fix it quickly.
The Israeli authorities, however, do not seem to care about repairing the power line after it collapsed, the residents voiced fears.
All the Israelis care about is to expand the illegal settlement of Leshem at the expense of the Palestinian towns, they said.
The residents expressed hope that the international community and its organizations could move to pressure the IOA to stop its settlement activities in their area.
Leshem is an illegal Israeli settlement located west of Salfit Governorate and five kilometers away from the Green Line. It is located near the illegal settlements of Eli Zahav and Peduel in the south.
The construction of the Leshem settlement started in 2013 on a vast tract of Palestinian land annexed from the nearby Kafr ad-Dik and Deir Ballut towns. Today about 100 Jewish families are living in Leshem settlement with many other thousands expected to settle in the settlement once its housing and infrastructure building is completed.

One-Eyed Jacks
pdmovies
Running from the law after a bank robbery in Mexico, Dad Longworth finds an opportunity to take the stolen gold and leave his partner Rio to be captured. Years later, Rio escapes from the prison where he has been since, and hunts down Dad for revenge. Dad is now a respectable sheriff in California, and has been living in fear of Rio's return.
You can find out more about this movie on its IMDB page.
One-Eyed Jacks, a 1961 in film western movie, is the only film directed by actor Marlon Brando. The picture was originally planned to be directed by Stanley Kubrick from a screenplay by Sam Peckinpah, but studio disputes led to their replacement by Brando and Guy Trosper. Brando portrays the lead character Rio, and Karl Malden plays his partner "Dad" Longworth. The supporting cast features Katy Jurado, Ben Johnson (actor), and Slim Pickens.
Rio (Marlon Brando) (also called "The Kid"), a shameless philanderer, his mentor Dad Longworth (Karl Malden), and a third man named Doc rob a bank of two saddlebags of gold in Sonora, Mexico. The robbery is successful, but Mexican Rurales track them and catch them celebrating in a cantina, killing Doc. Dad and Rio manage to escape, followed by the Rurales.
After getting cornered on a high ridge, with Rio's horse dead, Rio figures the Rurales will be "swarming all over us inside an hour". Deciding that one partner might take the remaining pony and ride to a little jacalito down the canyon about five miles and return with fresh mounts, they shake for it, with Rio fixing the deal so his pal Dad can be the one to go.
Dad gets to a corral, strapping the swag bag onto a fresh pony, but he gets second thoughts. He casts one eye towards a point on the ridge sure to be taken by the Rurales, and with the other he gazes off in the opposite direction out past a low-lying treeline towards the border and safety. One way leads to danger and a poor chance at surviving with half the booty, the other towards a virtual certainty with all of it. After a decidedly short moment of lection, he takes the latter and leaves his friend to be taken by Rurales. Rio is arrested, and is transported to prison by way of the jacalito where he learns firsthand of Dad's betrayal from the owner.
Rio spends five hard years in a Sonora prison, giving him ample time to mull over Dad's betrayal before escaping with new partner Chico Modesto (Larry Duran) and going hunting for him. When he locates him, Longworth has used his wealth to become the sheriff of Monterey, California. Instead of ambushing Dad, Rio gives him a chance to explain why he left him back in Mexico, pretending he had never been captured to put him off-guard. Longworth's awkward self-serving story is easily seen through.
All along Rio planned not only to kill Dad, but to pull off a bank robbery in Monterey with his new partners Chico and snakelike "scum-suckin' pig" Bob Emory (Ben Johnson (actor)) (who used his knowledge of Dad's whereabouts to force their partnership), but his plans are sidetracked when he falls in love with Longworth's beautiful virginal stepdaughter Louisa (Pina Pellicer), and takes advantage of a fiesta to spend the night with her on the beach. When Dad finds out, he tries to make Louisa confess to being deflowered, but after intervention by his wife Maria (Katy Jurado) he backs down. He then traps Rio in town and administers a vicious beating with a whip in front of the entire town, smashing Rio's gun hand with the butt of a shotgun in an attempt to end his gun-slinging days.
While recovering from his wounds near the ocean, Rio struggles with his conflicting desires to love the girl and to kill her stepfather for revenge. He decides to forgo vengeance, fetch Louisa and leave, but Emory, having decided that Rio will never be fast enough to challenge him again kills Chico and pulls off the bank job without his knowledge. Worse, the heist goes wrong and a young girl is killed. Rio is falsely accused without evidence and locked up by Longworth after whipping the town up into a lynch mob state. Dad desperately wants to kill Rio in an attempt to absolve his own guilt over the earlier betrayal. Knowing that the trial's outcome is certain, and Rio is sure to be hanged in two days, Dad has one last private talk with him, again attempting to excuse himself, to which Rio replies, "You may be a one-eyed jack around here, but I've seen the other side of your face." Rio confesses to being imprisoned for the last five years in a Sonora prison, but Dad disbelieves him, saying that it is a lie.
After Louisa visits Rio in jail to confess that she is going to have his baby, he is beaten by sadistic deputy Lon Dedrick (Slim Pickens) out of jealousy and envy for Louisa's affection. Maria faces Dad about telling her the truth, which she learned from Louisa, stating that she knew something was wrong since the moment Rio arrived in the town and that he is going to hang him out of pure guilt. Longsworth leaves in a fit of anger.
Louisa visits the jail again in an attempt to smuggle a Derringer pocket pistol, but she is discovered by Lon, who leaves the gun on the table. While Lon takes Louisa out, Rio seizes the opportunity to get hold of the pistol, which he accomplishes, but without ammunition. Rio bluffs his way out of jail with the unloaded pistol, helping himself to the revolver of Lon after a tense scene. As he is making his escape, he is spotted by Dad in the center of town. Under fire and left with no choice, Rio kills Longworth in a final showdown.
In the closing scene, Rio and Louisa ride out to the dunes and say a sentimental farewell. Rio will now be a hunted man and is already wanted in Mexico, and tells Louisa that he's going to Oregon, but to look for him in the spring, when he will return for her.
This film was one of the first Westerns to portray a bad man as somebody the audience can identify with, leading to the Spaghetti westerns of Sergio Leone.

Adaptation and development
Rod Serling, already famed as the creator of The Twilight Zone (1959 TV series) series, wrote an adaptation of the novel The Authentic Death of Hendry Jones by Charles Neider (1956), at the request of producer Frank P. Rosenberg. The book was a fictional treatment of the familiar Billy the Kid story, relocated from New Mexico to the Monterey Peninsula in California. The treatment was rejected.
Rosenberg next hired Sam Peckinpah, who finished his first script on 11 November 1957. Marlon Brando's Pennebaker Productions had paid $40,000 for the rights to Authentic Death and then signed a contract with Stanley Kubrick to direct for Paramount Pictures. Peckinpah handed in a revised screenplay on 6 May 1959. Later, Brando fired Peckinpah and hired Calder Willingham, but he and Brando stalled, so both Willingham and Kubrick were fired. Guy Trosper became the new screenwriter and worked on the story with Brando, who volunteered to serve as director.
The movie had very little resemblance to the Neider novel, and what remains has much more resonance with history than fiction. At various times, the two credited screenwriters and the uncredited Peckinpah have claimed (or had claimed for them) a majority of the responsibility for the film. When Karl Malden answered the query about who really wrote the story he said: "There is one answer to your question — Marlon Brando, a genius in our time."<></>
The film was Paramount Pictures' last feature released in VistaVision. Cinematographer Charles Lang received an Academy Awards nomination in the Best Cinematography, Color category that year. Upon release, it made little money, leading to a string of unsuccessful films for the actor.
Brando shot a total of five hours of additional footage, some of which was later destroyed. Later, other directors worked on the rest of the film after Brando walked away from the production.< name="tcmart"></> He did not direct another film in his later years, but he did continue to act.
The film was released on March 30, 1961 in New York City.< name="nytbosley"/>
Critical reception
One-Eyed Jacks received mixed reviews from critics. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 50% critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 6.2/10. Bosley Crowther of The New York Times, favorably influenced by Brando's efforts, noted: "... Directed and played with the kind of vicious style that Mr. Brando has put into so many of his skulking, scabrous roles. Realism is redolent in them, as it is in many details of the film. But, at the same time, it is curiously surrounded by elements of creamed-cliché romance and a kind of pictorial extravagance that you usually see in South Sea island films."< name="nytbosley"></> Variety (magazine), on the other hand, wrote: "It is an oddity of this film that both its strength and its weakness lie in the area of characterization. Brando's concept calls, above all, for depth of character, for human figures endowed with overlapping good and bad sides to their nature."<></> Dave Kehr of The Chicago Reader wrote: "There is a strong Freudian pull to the situation (the partner's name is "Dad") that is more ritualized than dramatized: the most memorable scenes have a fierce masochistic intensity, as if Brando were taking the opportunity to punish himself for some unknown crime."<></>
In popular culture
One-Eyed Jacks is the name of a brothel in the TV series Twin Peaks created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. That it shares the same name as this film is acknowledged in dialogue between Donna Hayward and Audrey Horne, where Audrey asks Donna if she has heard of One-Eyed Jacks and Donna responds "Isn't that that Western with Marlon Brando?"<></>

This massive collection contains 18 individual sound design libraries from Halflight Sampling.
With an underlying tone of dread and otherworldly noises this collection is packed with useful sounds for creative projects, horror and sci-fi scoring or for adding an undertone to your music.
Most packs are powered by the Photosynthesis Engine and with over 13GB of unlocked WAV files this is a real no brainer.
Featuring 12 insane Kontakt instrument patches. Utilizing hundreds of samples from experimenting with modular synthesis and effects, this is a truly unique library set that will drive some people mad with inspiration, and others mad with irritation.
Meant to be gritty, dirty, and organic. Not for the faint of heart. 1.14 Gigabytes uncompressed. All samples are included as well (in their respective Kontakt sample folders).
Dark, low, menacing braam like sounds. inspired by both Hans Zimmer and Igor Stravinsky. Containing 65.1 MB of WAV samples, uncompressed. The Kontakt instruments are organized into 4 separate folders, according to the general feel and type of sound (Atonal, Dark, Distorted, and Misc).
Like something conjured up from a distant, forgotten dream, the patches included have the power to stir within us emotions and feelings deeply hidden and inexplicable. The samples used are strange, unique and imperfect.
In total there are 66 instrument presets, which are derived from a set of 655 samples. All samples are royalty free.
Please note: The Full Version of Kontakt 5.6.8 is required to use the patches without limitation (the same applies to this entire collection). However, the uncompressed wav files are accessible, so you do not need full Kontakt to use the samples themselves. All of the samples total 996MB uncompressed.
This is a truly unique collection of percussion loops, mapped to Kontakt. They were created using a complex FX chain, with the basis of most of the sounds being sculpted from NI's Reaktor modular synthesis engine (not the extra instruments, however).
Just going through the different Bed instruments will take you on a journey, perhaps causing you to recollect music from Radiohead (the more experimental side), early Genesis (The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway) and even Porcupine Tree. The samples are also included (in the Kontakt sample folders) so you can drag and drop them in your DAW or import them.
The extra instruments included were very experimental and are not synced. They are not percussive and tend to be more cinematic and ambient.
Each loop is synced to 120BPM. However, many of them are syncopated, so may seem out of tempo naturally. The idea for the instrument originally came from the soundtrack to The Shining --that reoccurring pitch oscillation that stirs uneasiness in your gut. However, it the project has morphed into something completely different, and instead of being a cinematic library with sounds inspired by that reoccurring theme, I went in the direction of experimental percussion instead. These percussion loops are meant to be an underpinning, not necessarily at the forefront of a piece. They were meant to add brush strokes to a piece.
A large collection of unique and useful guitar patches. Including 40 Kontakt patches and hundreds of samples. Inspired by jazz, funk, prog rock and more. I even found a way to get two of my favorite movies in there (Vertigo and Taxi Driver). Their folders are "Vertigo Climb" and "Taxi Driving Music" respectively: they include strange, jazz like chord drones based on unusual chords and inversions.
The song starter patches are useful for helping write music. There are at least 13 of the most common chords used for songwriting. Many of the patches automatically loop if you hold the key, but not all.
Many of the patches are raw guitar, with no added effects (or very little) so that you can add your own virtual amp rigs per your desire. Last of all, Enjoy!
40 Kontakt Patches 584MB zipped Requires full Kontakt 5.6.8 license, otherwise it runs in demo mode.
This collection is a window into my creative process, and I am providing them royalty free. I performed several loops, all of which were thought up on the spot. The final take was on either the 1st, 2nd or 3rd try, generally. I wanted to capture a spontaneous and unique quality. So the ideas themselves were all impromptu. This is generally how I write anyway. I did not use quantasizing and did not draw the midi notes to create these performances.
There are 17 instrument presets based on 9 Multi sampled piano and music box phrases (189 samples). I sampled the phrases across at least 12 halftones, and mapped them to Kontakt. Therefore, you can play the loops in various keys.
There is also a folder of non instrument related samples. These are either additional piano loops, or heavily processed samples based on those loops. The processed loops will have a word in parenthesis giving a sort of nickname to the sound (I guess the feeling or idea that encapsulates the sound in my mind). There are a total of 97 of these additional, non Kontakt Instrument related samples. They are generally more syncopated (especially the processed samples) and range from dance like synth sounds, to crazy, bizarre machine like sounds.
There are a total of 998MB of samples, uncompressed (16bit 44100Hz), including the Kontakt Instrument samples.
A culmination of 10 years of experimentation and exploration. Using live recordings and layered synthesis, this is a truly unique set of Kontakt patches . Perfect for cinema, drone, trance and more. There are many patches especially useful in horror and science fiction. You will not hear samples like these anywhere.
Please keep in my that originality and uniqueness were the main goals. Many of the samples were derived from old recordings which had to be restored using restoration plugins. There is a certain, unmatched character about it. There are 47 total patches, with 47 total samples. Samples vary from 0:03 to 2:13 in length. Each sample was mapped to Kontakt using Jeremiah Pena's brilliant Photosynthesis Engine. The samples were not simply dropped in, but tuned to map the appropriate notes in the traditional western, equally tempered tuning. Therefore, if you play a "C" note on the keyboard, the overall pitch characteristics of the Kontankt instrument will be a "C". This will make it easier for you to incorporate the sounds into your own compositions! However, due to the underlying nature of some of the samples (evolving textures, harmonic movement and layering), achieving this to perfection on all samples was quite difficult or impossible.
A single toy was sampled on ultra low batteries. The result is creepy and unnerving. In quantum physics there is an idea that certain phenomena can create different results in each instance of change, and never repeat itself (for example, the static on an old television set). With very low batteries, the potential for unexpected things to happen increases.
CONTENT: There is 97.2 MB of sample content uncompressed (77 samples). 7 Main Kontakt Patches (18 total, with variations on the 7 main ones). The samples range from loops, phrases (melodic), to words and noises. PLEASE NOTE: The Full Version of Kontakt 5.6.8 is required to use the patches without limitation. However, the uncompressed wav files are accessible, so you do not need a full version of Kontakt to use the samples themselves.
A collection of 30 strange, dark and post apocalyptic drones, hums and pads. Perfect if you need a unique and gritty edge in your productions. Feel free to tweak the presets to you hearts content. I used Jeremiah Pena's Photosynthesis engine to create the presets, based around 26 custom created samples (30 seconds each). There are 26 main instruments (presets) and 4 extra.
The WAV (16bit 44100Hz) files remain uncompressed in each respective folder. You may use them for creating sound effects in edition to writing music.
There is a great deal of variety in this collection. From ethereal, dreamy and post modern Explosions in The Sky and Sigur Ros inspired guitars, to an oriental-like ukulele pluck instrument, all the way to a cinematic, fierce, bowed electric bass guitar. There are 224 samples, coming in at about 1.4GB of samples uncompressed.
All of the instruments were derived from these samples, and they feature no soft-synths or computer generated sounds - all from authentic, real sound sources. There are a total of 27 Kontakt Instrument Patches, and 9 Multis. There are numerous samples in the Bowed Sample Folder which were not used for the Kontakt patches, but which are perfect for sound design elements, cinematic productions and so on.
A wall vent was sampled with a condenser mic and a violin bow. Using a variety of techniques, a unique set of textures were created.
This is perfect for horror productions and more. A creepy, spooky collection of Kontakt instruments, including the haunting laughs and cries of children, and their lost toy instruments. Some instruments were warped beyond recognition, including the spinning wheels of a car made to sound like some kind of Dub Step instrument.
The instrument "Pad of Tears" was derived from the cries of a child.
The glockenspiel and toy percussion are the only instruments which remain pure and natural. The guitar was played with a knife, and the singing bowl (Carving a Bowl) was played by sharpening a knife on it. The full version of Kontakt is required.
Disclaimer: No Children Were Harmed In The Making Of This Instrument.
A collection of unique and bizarre drone, pulse, soundscape, and effect samples. Their moods range from nostalgic, dark, intense, to strange and moody.
The perfect toy for the collector of all things rare. Right out of the box, this thing is an enigma. There is no on/off switch; you can only press the white keys (however, it's tuned so awfully that you end up playing what would be black keys); there is no velocity sensitivity (and it's so loud!!!). All I know is that it was made in Taiwan. I cannot find any other information about this thing, anywhere! I'm not even sure if it's really called "Lovely Mitty," but that's the sticker with which it came (at the consignment shop).
There was a lot of work involved in getting the tuning as close as possible to any semblance of proper tuning. Once tuned, it actually does seem to have a warm tone, suitable for chip tune style music, but others as well. With the staccato presets, I used some tricks with the microphones to create a sense of velocity layers, and created 4 total velocity layers. I still included the original tuning ("natural tuning") for your fun and pleasure. There were also some effects created by only pressing the notes slightly (right at the threshold of making a noise).
Imagine a dark, destitute world, days after several nuclear blasts lay waste to the majority of the planet. This is the vision of the new sample library. No, it's not pretty, nor is something we ever want to see in reality. However, we can live it through sound.
The sounds derive from a variety of sound sources - from various types of digital synths (including Factory by Sugar Bytes and Loom by Air Music Technology) as well as acoustic sound sources (bowed instruments, pianos and more). Various noise effects were also used to process the samples (including vinyl and tape effects). Most patches have 3 velocity layers.
Contents: 551MB Samples Uncompressed (109 total samples, 44100Hz 16bit) 37 Kontakt Patches (+7 Multis).
The majority of these sounds were created from playing around with a soon to be released Divergent Audio Group instrument. However, 6 of the sounds were taken from the 800+ sample pool which will be included in the full release. With the exception of those 6 samples, these samples will not be available anywhere else. They range from nightmarish, strange, dark, to nostalgic and peaceful. All samples are 60 seconds in length, with most of them featuring a constantly evolving character.
I built 33 Kontakt patches based on the samples, with an additional 25 which are Round Robin versions of the 25 samples not included in the future release. Since they are 60 seconds in length, I created a loop point at unique 20 second segments for each sample. Therefore, every note for the RR version patch will have essentially 3 Round Robins (not multi sampled, however). This will at least give the ability to have more nuance in the sound.
For the 6 samples taken from the future release I created 4 unique start points and loops (15 second segments). This essentially creates 4 Round Robins which again, allows for more nuance from the instrument. The WAV files are also included so that you can use them in other samplers or drop them into your DAW.
This is an experimental library wherein a violin bow is bowed on a Tibetan Singing Bowl in G. In some cases there were novel techniques employed which were able to create unique sounds, probably never heard before. This was not a planned library. I was experimenting with bowing what ever I had around the house, and thought this may be interesting. The result is breathtaking and at times mesmerizing.
Some instruments are deep and emotional, while others are strange and atonal. It is ideal for cinematic work, especially science fiction, psychological thrillers, emotional dramas, and I'm sure more (maybe horror?). I am planning to buy Tibetan Singing bowls in every key available, and do an extensive set of recording sessions with bowing and other techniques. I hope you will look forward to that!
I've spent several hours with this and still don't quite have a handle on the depth and range in this collection. There are TONS of interesting and unusual sounds, sonic oddities that I wouldn't know how to find or create even with a high-end, high-dollar soft synth. The collection is unique, varied and full of surprises, and the Photosynthesis (the UI for most of these) engine provides further tweaking and shaping options.I almost took one star off, as the collection has clearly been amassed over time and thus has some inconsistencies, and takes some fiddling and batch resaving in Kontakt to tame them. However, given the high quality + low cost of the set, IMHO you get much, much more than your money's worth, so this counts as an extra star. Great deal, great bang for buck.
I found this collection by way of a thread on VI-Control, and it's a gem. I've only scratched the surface of the sounds the pack is capable of. I almost hesitate to say what I think this library is most useful for, because I'm sure that any given user will gravitate to different instruments in different folders and have a completely different experience with the collection. I will say that in my experience, the best sounds have been gritty, cinematic underscore or ambient. Not to say that there's no beauty or purity to be found in the collection, just that my experience so far lends itself to darker, more ominous sounds. Occasionally, I've run into trouble with some routing for Photosynthesis, but I think that may be as much a function of how I handled the installation as anything, and it isn't hard to remedy. The only real drawback to the collection so far is that with a library so deep, some of the instrument names don't always lend themselves to easy description. In many cases, it isn't hard at all to figure out what kind of sounds an instrument will make, but on other occasions, it takes experimentation--which is fun, but time-consuming. Overall, 5-of-5, would definitely recommend, and will keep my eye open for future output. Definitely a treasure-trove of useful and interesting sounds.
I can´t believe how many sound design resources i get with this collection, but mapped in the photosyntesis kontakt engine i can modify and expand on the fly actually without limits.
Sound is interesting, good for sounddesign in soundtrack.
It's hard to review this package because even after having it for months I'm still discovering new sounds in there. It really does have a lot and to be honest there are probably quite a few in there that I will never need (but you never know). It has lots of great sound effects and instruments ranging from ambient pads through to looped and effected baby noises. It's got beds, it's got piano loops, it's got toy sound effects. It's got A LOT. The interface is simple to use and the vast range of sounds provides many possibilities for TV and film composition etc.
It's a great package and one that I find myself coming back to when I require something just a little different.
SOUND QUALITY: 3; FEATURES: 3; PRESETS: 3; EASY OF USE: 4; INNOVATION: 3; VALUE FOR MONEY: 4; CONCLUSION: It's a real mess, not of good and bad but of very good and very bad. After getting rid of about two thirds, I found the rest excellent. So I'd recommend to the dev to do the same and the collection will sell as a valuable library. And the mess within the folders and files is anthological.
Huge number of very useful, distinctive, organic samples, mostly presented in the free Photosynthesis Kontakt engine which easily allows a huge amount of sonic tweaking. Samples are royalty-free and available to load into any sound-mangling engine of your choice. By the author's own admission, some of the sample sets are early works from when he was still learning his craft, and can be quite ropey quality. However, there is an update due (hopefully in the first half of 2019) which will improve things.This is a massive library, mostly inclining to the dark and unsettling ambience but there's real beauty buried in there too. The size can make finding something specific quite difficult, so I use it more as a launching pad for something a bit more unplanned/unexpected. I shouldn't really need to buy anything else from Erick as I'm unlikely to ever exhaust this compilation, but I like his stuff and plan to get his Traffic Designer and Chord Organ sets very soon!
3:29 Falling Horses [Deep Conjuring], with JitterBed [THE BEDS (Kontakt Instrument)] at 3:35, LonelyCityScape [The Beds Vol 2 GUITARS] at 3:39 and Pad of Tears [The Lost Playground] at 3:59.
I put Ambient Reverb (Stone Voices) on the Pad of Tears at the end, otherwise all sounds and effects came from Halflight Sampling Collection.


We propose a new aspect of mobility that combines in a same journey and in real time a carpooling service and a traditional multi-modal transportation. This mix allows to improve and complete both services. The main idea of our approach is based on the traditional multi-modal path, in which we try to sequentially substitute some subpaths of traditional multi-modal transportation to carpooling, in order to decrease the rider's arrival time at his destination. For this purpose, we first defne a closeness estimation between the user's itinerary and available drivers. This allows to select a subset of potential drivers. We then compute sets of driving quickest paths, and design a substitution process. Finally, among all admissible solutions, we select a best one based on the earliest arrival time. We provide numerical results using geographical maps, real data and public transportation timetabling. Our numerical results show the effectiveness of our system, which improves rider's arrival time compared to the traditional multi-modal path. The running time of our approach remains reasonable to use real-time transportation application.


Legislators worked hard last month to close the $365 million budget deficit for fiscal year 2013, which begins July 1, but declining state revenue projections have cut into some of their efforts.
State Comptroller Kevin Lembo reported Jan. 2 that the remaining budget deficit after the Dec. 19 budget deficit mitigation bill was $40 million.
Total revenues are projected to be about $35 million less than what was predicted in November, according to the consensus revenue report by the Office of Policy Management and Office of Fiscal Analysis.
A $35 million decrease in revenue, plus the remaining $40 million budget deficit, brings the state's total deficit projection to more than $70 million for fiscal year 2013.
"The decline in revenue projections is not surprising. The economy and state government finances are extremely difficult to project in these unusual times, particularly given the significant and shifts in income tax revenue that occur surrounding the dates of major tax changes," wrote Benjamin Barnes, secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, in an email Tuesday in response to questions from The Connecticut Mirror.
The tax revenues that are projected to decline the most are personal income tax, by $71.4 million, and sales and use tax, by $129.9 million. Other tax revenues that are expected to drop include the corporation tax revenue, by $10 million, and the cigarettes tax revenue, by $1 million.
Anticipated revenues from casinos also declined by $11.5 million. The Mohegan Tribe and Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation give Connecticut a 25 percent share of their slot machine revenues, which have steadily declined over the years.
The consensus revenue report also showed that total revenues are expected to be down by $68.3 million for fiscal year 2014.
The aim of the special session in December was to close the fiscal year 2013 budget deficit of $365 million but also to create savings for the coming budget year.
These updated revenue projections affect that plan and make it likely that the budget deficit for fiscal year 2014, which begins July 1, 2014, will remain at more than $1 billion. The budget deficit for fiscal year 2014 is currently estimated to be $1.1 billion.
In response to the report, Barnes said, "We will continue to closely monitor state revenues in order to maintain balance in the state budget this year and through the coming biennium."


The opioid crisis has hit the United States hard, and California is no exception. In addition to the devastating consequences that are associated with addiction and overdosing, opioids have negative impact on fatal two-car vehicle accidents as well.
A recent study published in the JAMA Network Open found that in fatal two-car crashes, drivers who were responsible for the accident were twice as likely as those not at fault to test positive for opioid use.
The most common error leading to fatal vehicle accidents, whether or not an opioid was involved, was a driver veering outside of their lanes. Unfortunately this shows that the national opioid epidemic has far reaching consequences into vehicle accidents and that you may need to ask questions if you have already been hurt in a catastrophic accident about whether or not the person who caused it could have been under the influence of opioids at the time.
It's not always easy to demonstrate that the other driver was under the influence; the first step in building a case is working with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney. These cases can be resolved sometimes in mediation or settlement, but a lawyer should also be ready to go to court.
If you have questions about how to protect yourself following an accident, schedule a consultation with a San Francisco personal injury lawyer.


If Harry Styles did not have your heart already — and like, if so, who even are you?! — get ready for him to steal it away. His new TV spots for his solo performances on Saturday Night Live are that charming.
The premise for each of the three spots is simple: Harry and the show's host for the evening, Jimmy Fallon, take on some variation of walking towards the camera as they announce their upcoming show. In the first, they try to outshine each other by blocking their view to the camera. In the other two, they attempt a smooth jazz walk, complete with a retro finger-snapping. Harry can't contain his laughter during the process of filming the last clip — which is fair, because we assume filming anything on the SNL stage is enough to give someone a case of the giggles. Still, that laughter only adds to the fact that Harry Styles is probably* the most delightful human being on this planet.
In past episodes of SNL, Harry has joined in on sketches with his former One Direction bandmates, so it's safe to say that he might take a turn in the scenes, too. There's no word yet as to the second song he'll sing in addition to "Sign of the Times," but you won't have to wait to find out if you don't live on the east coast: SNL is broadcasting live to all time zones on Saturday.
*There is no way for me to verify this statistic, but I believe it is true. Do not @ me.

NDO - Deputy Prime Minister Vuong Dinh Hue has asked China's Guangxi province to continue creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese key products to enter the Chinese market.
>>> Chi Ma-Ai Dian border gate pair open to traffic
The Vietnamese senior official made the suggestion during a meeting with Lu Xinshe, the Chinese Party Secretary of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, in the region's capital city of Nanning on September 11.
Deputy PM Hue, who is a Politburo member, is on a visit to Nanning to attend the 15th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) and the 15th China-ASEAN Business-Investment Summit (CABIS).
He expressed his pleasure at the flourishing cooperation between Vietnamese localities and Guangxi that has brought about important achievements and practical benefits for both sides. He affirmed that Guangxi has maintained its place as China's number one locality for economic and trade cooperation with Vietnam, while Vietnam has been the largest trading partner of Guangxi for the past 14 years.
In 2017, two-way trade between Vietnam and Guangxi reached US$24 billion, accounting for 86% of ASEAN's total imports and exports with Guangxi, more than 30% of the total trading turnover between Vietnam and China, and 40% of the total import-export turnover of Guangxi in general.
He suggested that Guangxi continue create more favourable conditions for Vietnam's strong products, such as milk and dairy products, fruits, seafood, and pork, to enter the Chinese market, while supporting the transit of goods by rail across Guangxi and other parts of China to other Eurasian nations.
Deputy PM Hue urged the Chinese province to facilitate an easy process of customs clearance for goods in the border areas, including upgrading and opening more border gates and increasing working hours at these gates, even on Saturdays and especially during high season, to reduce cargo congestion.

He also asked Guangxi to strengthen cooperation on border management and cross-border crime prevention related to smuggling, child trafficking and illegal entry and exit.
Secretary of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region's Party Committee, Lu Xinshe, thanked Deputy PM Hue for his support for the 15th CAEXPO and CABIS. He affirmed the importance of traditional friendship and cooperation between Guangxi and the Vietnamese ministries, sectors and localities.
Secretary Lu expressed his wish to cooperate with the concerned localities of Vietnam in fully realising the shared outlook of the two countries' leaders, strengthening the visits of senior leaders, and promoting exchanges on projects in infrastructure, as well as promoting economic cooperation, trade, people-to-people exchange and tourism to the further consolidate the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Vietnam.
After the meeting, Deputy PM Hue and Secretary Lu witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding on establishing friendly cooperation relations between Vietnam's Quang Nam province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
Apart from Quang Nam, Guangxi now has friendly relations with 12 other Vietnamese provinces.

Q: Is there a way to execute a command in Postgres that conditionally trigger or not trigger the trigger function previously setup? For example, I have a posts table that hold user posts information and I have postlikes table that hold each like for a post.
I have setup a trigger for the postlikes whenever a record is added (INSERT) or removed (DELETE) from it. Below is the trigger whenever user unlike a post (DELETE a record):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION decrement_post_like_count()
RETURNS TRIGGER LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
BEGIN
UPDATE posts SET lks=lks-1, upd=DATE_TRUNC('millisecond', localtimestamp) WHERE pid=OLD.pid;
RETURN OLD;
END;
$$;

Add Trigger to a DELETE event which invoke the above function:
CREATE TRIGGER on_post_unlike
AFTER DELETE ON postlikes
FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE FUNCTION decrement_post_like_count();

Basically whenever a record is removed from postlikes table, then the trigger will reduce the like count (lks) by 1 from the corresponding post in the posts table. And there is another trigger setup which increases the count in the corresponding post in posts table whenever a record is added in postlikes table, but it is similar code so I don't display it here.
But now I want to be able to execute DELETE on the postlikes table without invoking the trigger, but I want to keep the trigger functions well. This is because I want to implement a post delete function, which should delete the post with all its corresponding likes. And of course, I don't want the trigger to fire in vain because we are deleting the post.
So is there probably a flag a could set that won't trigger this function and if the flag is not set then it will trigger the function.
There is a similar post here but I'm not sure if I want to use this kind of workaround, it is quite tedious or unnatural for this case.
I'm open to suggestions and other solutions.

Q: How to join data from large data source with small data source on different server in SSIS in best way? I am having ERP data source having 16 million records and need to select only few thousand records but based on a data from different source ,where condition would have worked but the data to used in where condition is coming from a different source on a different server, the traditional approach is to use merge join which is very time consuming.
I need a approach without merge join or lookup column to make it faster.
Below is what I have done for syncing data from ERP to company's database
The above package is for financial transactions and is being synced daily every morning to Company's DB since ERP data is read only.To sync 16 million records it takes me 30 mins with parllel tasks and table partitioning , however Finance Dept now wants to manually run the package when they wish , lets say he wishes only to sync 100 records of the ERP to  Company Db , if below solution is used it scans all 16 million records to get the required 100 records to sync, to give a use case
Finance Department selects few ledgers in our company application(uses company db)company application has to run the package only for that Ledgers to get the updated Net Balance in company's application.So my approach was to store the ledgers that he selected in a table and join the table to ERP in SSIS package.
and go ahead like the daily morning sync(above apckage)
SELECT netbalance FROM ERP WHERE ledger in (SELECT ledgercode from MYSKM )

I wanted to achieve something like above but not possible since both ERP and MYSKM are on different servers


Solar energy, which provides clean energy from the sun, is booming in the United States and globally. The cost to install solar energy has dropped by more than 70 percent since 2010. In the last decade, solar has experienced an average annual growth rate of 68 percent. Many households and businesses that switch to solar energy save money and decrease their ecological footprint.
While there is no doubt solar energy can be an important solution for many of the world's energy problems, it's not a magic pill. Some studies show solar energy to have considerable environmental drawbacks.
Large utility-scale solar panels take up a lot of space, which can result in environmental degradation and habitat loss. Solar farms that cover a large amount of land are likely to have an impact on the local fauna and flora, particularly on birds. Solar farms can also inhibit local vegetation growth and damage agriculture. Unlike wind energy, solar panels aren't able to share the land they occupy for other uses.
Small-scale solar panels for domestic use don't require much land. However, at an industrial level, the sheer amount of required space for the panels to produce energy is a challenge.
Also, many people feel that utility-scale solar panels create an aesthetic disturbance for the communities in the vicinity.
Creating energy with solar photovoltaic panels is a water-intensive process. Even though the solar cells themselves don't use water to generate electricity, the manufacturing process requires some water.
In the United States, electricity production accounts for more than 40 percent of all daily freshwater withdrawals. Even though some of this water can be reused, an abundance of solar panels in an area could put a strain on local water resources.
The photovoltaic manufacturing process employs toxic chemicals such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride, 1,1,1-trichloroethane and acetone. If manufacturers don't strictly follow the laws and regulations, these chemicals can introduce significant health risks, particularly to the manufacturing workers.
Furthermore, if the solar panels aren't disposed of properly, these toxic chemicals can be an environmental hazard. Solar panels create 300 times more toxic waste per unit of energy than do nuclear power plants.
Often, panels end up in e-waste dumps in developing countries such as India, China and Ghana where these toxic chemicals might create devastating health effects for residents of nearby communities.
