Life Data is based out of Cherokee, Alabama, where they conduct research, manufacture their products, and provide product support to their customers. Life Data's products are true American Made items that Meader Supply is happy to show off on our shelves! With this clinic we would like to help educate the general public on ways they can better provide for their horses!
Two products that will be shown are Barn Bag and Farrier Formula!
Barn Bag is great for balancing your horses diet and preventing over supplementation. Barn Bag is for all adult horses from your easy keepers to your work horses, your insulin resistant horses, and your metabolic syndrome horses! Barn Bag is a low calorie and low starch supplement that provides your horse with a daily fixed amount of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and fatty acids. These are things that are commonly missing from the average equine forage diet. Unlike compounded feeds Barn Bag allows you, the horse owner, to feed calories separately from nutrients! Barn Bag commonly eliminates the need to feed grains while also preventing the harmful effects of over or under supplementation.
Farrier Formula is a pelleted hoof supplement that provides nutrients such as phospholipids, omega fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and important amino acid "protein building blocks". These nutrients enable horses to build strong connective tissue proteins important for healthy hoof structure and growth. Farrier's Formula can help with your horses quarter cracks, toe cracks, sand cracks, brittle hoof wall, and even hoof wall separation. Farrier's Formula has even proved effective with helping horses with thin soft soles that are susceptible to sudden lameness from bruising, and horses recovering from laminitis or founder whose cohesive bond between the outer hoof wall and the coffin bone has been damaged! Farrier's Formula goes even further to promote a glossy more deeply colored coat and strengthened connective tissues of all joints and ligaments. Farrier's Formula is doping free and can be fed to competition horses!
If either of these products, or the Life Data Labs Company peak your interest then this event will be one for you! You can join us during any of the sessions on the 22nd and 23rd, but make sure to reserve your FREE spot now before they run out, by clicking here!
Delta Mustad Open House September 28th, 2015- Al Hayden will be in the store to answer questions, discuss product, and review new upcoming products. Delta will be providing lunch so come stop by Monday the 28th!
Chris Gregory Clinic October 23rd & 24th 2015. The 23rd will be a private clinic where 15 farriers will have the opportunity to work one on one with Chris. This clinic is reserved for professional farriers. If interested please call or email to sign up.
The 24th will be an open clinic where the public can come enjoy watching Chris create different works of art through blacksmithing. Reservations are ideal and the entry will be $10 per person, the entry fee includes coffee and donuts for breakfast and a pizza lunch with drinks and chips supplied.

First Tack Open House in almost a decade- Meader's opened there doors to the public for a store wide sale on May 23rd! It was not the scale that open houses were here at one time but it was a nice way to start. Customers were able to enjoy taking there time familiarizing them selves with the 1,000 new items on the shelves. We had some great discussion on harness types and fittings. Best of all we had time to see so many of you that are normally customers we ship to. Open house 2016 is in progress and we will release details soon!
26th Annual Farrier Appreciation Day- April 24th & 25th- This was the first year that we extended the educational opportunity a full day. Meader's teamed up with the American Association of Professional Farriers and it's education partners to sponsor this event. Friday participants were able to work one on one with Bob Pethick improving their shoe shaping and forging skills. Saturday's event was the largest on record drawing hundreds of farriers and adding 6 new vendors to the growing list that attend each year. Dave Dawson and Bob Pethick did and outstanding job and were well received by everyone.
25th Annual Farrier Appreciation Day - April 26, 2014 - We had a few April Showers for our event this year, but that did not keep everyone from coming out to enjoy all of the fun! Our sponsor this year was Delta Mustad Hoofcare Center and the clinician was Jeff Pauley from North Carolina. Jeff's clinic was very well received and kept everyone's attention, even right through one of the break times! All proceeds from the raffle this year went to the UpReach Therapeutic Riding program in Goffstown, NH. Thank you to everyone who attended as well as to all of our vendors who donated doorprize and raffle items and who had tables at our trade show. We had a great turnout and it was nice to be able to see everyone.
Draft Animal Power Field Days, September 28 and 29, 2013 - We were pleased to have a space at this year's Field Days event in Barton, VT. There was beautiful weather all weekend and a great turnout. Both days were full of informative workshops, equipment demonstrations, vendors, and much more. Doc Hammill was the featured speaker for the weekend. See the Photo Album page for photos from this year's event.
24th Annual Farrier Appreciation Day, April 27, 2013 - Once again, we had a beautiful day and great attendance for our annual event. Our clinician this year was Mike Wildenstein, and his clinic was very well received. Thank you to FPD for sponsoring the event, and to all of the other vendors who attended and donated door prizes. All proceeds from the Silent Auction and Raffle were given to Farsteads of New England. Thank you to all who came and made the day a great success!
Hammer-in: Farriers and friends joined together for an evening of forges and hot iron. Many stories were shared and fun was had by all.
23rd Annual Farrier Appreciation Day- This year's event was held on April 28th. The weather was beautiful, although the wind made it a little challenging to enjoy lunch outside at the picnic tables! The breezy conditions didn't affect the clinic, however, which was held in the large mechanics garage as usual. Our clinician this year was Mark Milster, CJF from Oklahoma. He presented a very informative and well-received clinic with live shoeing and forging.
We had a great turnout once again and enjoyed seeing all of our regular customers as well as some new ones. Special thanks to Delta Mustad Hoofcare for sponsoring the event. Thank you also to our many vendors who came out for the day to display their products and speak with our customers. The Silent Auction this year benefited Live and Let Live, a non-profit rescue for horses located here in NH.
Thank you to all of those who attended our event this year. If you were not able to attend, make plans now to attend next year on the last Saturday of April!
22nd Annual Farrier Appreciation Day was held on Saturday, April 30, 2011. We had a beautiful day for the event, and about 150 farriers from all over New England and beyond came to enjoy the day. We would like to extend our thanks to Delta Mustad Hoofcare Center for sponsoring this year's event. We would also like to thank all of the other vendors who were able to attend and share their products with our farriers.
Austin Edens from Texas was our clinician this year, and gave a great presentation on shoeing sport horses. While our clinicians in the past traditionally shoe one horse in the afternoon session, Austin was able to live-shoe two horses during the event, which the farriers in attendance enjoyed. The whole event was a great success and we wish to thank all who attended. Please plan on joining us next year on the last Saturday in April for our next Farrier Appreciation Day.
21st Annual Farrier Appreciation Day was held on Saturday, April 24, 2010. We would like to thank Farrier Product Distribution (FPD) for sponsoring this year's event. Clinician Doug Workman, CJF, gave a great presentation on the topic of "Shoeing for Form, Function, and No Pressure." We would also like to thank all of the other vendors who were able to attend this year to display their products and visit with our farriers.
We had a great turnout again this year, and would like to thank all who attended the event and made it a success! Please plan on joining us next year on the last Saturday in April for our next Farrier Appreciation Day.

Raising questions through films
Published: Nov 30, 2012, 08:14 IST | Special Features
A geology graduate from St Xavier's College, Ajay Noronha eventually turned to his first love - filmmaking. He has shot several documentaries, TV shows and films like Slumdog Millionaire and Ferrari Ki Sawaari.
Noronha's debut film was Bhailey, and his upcoming second film Picture of You is ready for release. CS chats up with Ajay:
Similarities and differences
Reality TV and documenting reality are as far apart as an aardvark is from Antarctica. But the most significant difference for me is the motivation. In the mainstream commercial set-up, the motivation is usually profit, but documentary allows for a varied motivations that go beyond commercial reasons.
Places to shoot
A good place to shoot is the one which helps you tell a story. I like the sea and spend a lot of time there. The ever-changing light on the water, the sand and in the sky enthralls me. There's a film I am working on in Jerusalem. It is about the remarkable friendship between a Palestinian Arab taxi driver and a Jewish American professor.
I love films of Ingmar Bergman, Tarkovsky, Lars Von Trier, Abbas Kiarostami, Nuri Bilge Ceylan, Ranjan Palit, Gurudutt, Amar Kanwar, etc.

Q: How do I access a variable from another thread I am trying to make an action listener for a button to send a message from a server to client and vice versa, but I can't access the bufferedwriter variable from the thread, so I can't send a message.

Yahoo! Fire Eagle, kind of "GeoClue for the Web" was released last week. It acts as a central hub collection position information from services like Plazes and Dopplr, and with a simple PHP script, Jaiku. Services needing user's location can then ask it from Fire Eagle instead of having to support all the services separately.
Midgard's positioning framework has been Fire Eagle compatible since March this year. Now that the service is open for a wider audience, I though it would be useful to tell how to activate it with your Midgard-powered site.
and follow the authorization instructions. This is due to Fire Eagle using the nice OAuth protocol.
Once this is done MidCOM cron will start tracking your Fire Eagle location. All objects you have created (photos, blogs, comments, etc) will then be automatically tagged with where you made them.

18 Where does the posterior recurrent tibial artery begin?
19 Where does the anterior tibial vein begin and end?
Anterior tibial artery
Vein anterior tibial vein
Supplies anterior compartment of the leg
Latin arteria tibialis anterior
What area does the posterior tibial artery service?
It supplies the back of the leg, i.e. the two posterior compartments and the sole of the foot. Near its commencement the artery gives off the peroneal artery which supplies the deep muscles of the calf and the muscles in the lateral compartment and descends along the medial border of the fibula.
What is the posterior tibial artery used for?
The posterior tibial artery supplies oxygenated blood to the posterior compartment of the leg and the plantar surface of the foot.
Where would you find the tibial artery?
The anterior tibial artery is the smaller terminating branch of the popliteal artery that arises from the lower border of the popliteus muscle. It passes forward through the interosseous membrane into the anterior compartment of the leg.
Why is the posterior tibial pulse important?
Arising from the popliteal artery behind the knee, the posterior tibial artery (PTA) delivers oxygenated blood to the posterior compartment of the lower leg as well as the plantar surface of the foot (the flat portion between the heel and the ball of the foot).
Which artery continues as the dorsalis pedis artery?
Most often, the anterior tibial artery continues as the dorsalis pedis artery. The anterior tibial artery enters the foot under the inferior extensor retinaculum and runs distally towards the inter-space be- tween the first and second toes.
Can the pulse of the anterior tibial artery be felt in the posterior ankle?
The anterior tibial artery pulse can be palpated near the origin of the dorsalis pedis artery on the dorsum of the foot lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon….Anterior tibial artery.
Popliteal artery
Branches Posterior and anterior recurrent tibial, muscular, perforating, and anterior medial and lateral malleolar arteries
Where do you feel for the posterior tibial pulse?
The posterior tibial pulse can be felt behind and below the medial malleolus. Gently flex the knee and feel for the popliteal pulse by deep palpation in midline in popliteal fossa.
Where do you feel dorsalis pedis?
The dorsalis pedis pulse is palpable on the dorsum of the foot in the first intermetatarsal space just lateral to the extensor tendon of the great toe. The posterior tibial pulse can be felt behind and below the medial malleolus.
What are the symptoms of posterior tibial tendonitis?
Pain along the inside of the foot and ankle, where the tendon lies. This may or may not be associated with swelling in the area.
Pain that is worse with activity. High-intensity or high-impact activities, such as running, can be very difficult.
Pain on the outside of the ankle.
What nerve travels with anterior tibial artery?
Anterior tibial artery travels inferiorly on the anterior surface of the interosseous membrane with the deep fibular nerve. Anterior tibial artery primarily provides blood to the muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg.
Where does the anterior tibial artery carry blood?
Anterior tibial artery From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The anterior tibial artery is an artery of the leg. It carries blood to the anterior compartment of the leg and dorsal surface of the foot, from the popliteal artery.
Where is the tibia located on the leg?
The tibia is found on the medial side of the leg next to the fibula and closer to the median plane or centre-line. The tibia is connected to the fibula by the interosseous membrane of the leg, forming a type of fibrous joint called a syndesmosis with very little movement.
Is the posterior tibial artery a sign of life?
Although a pulse can be determined from the posterior tibial artery, it is not used as a sign of life. A pulse is a rhythmic beat produced as a beating heart pumps waves of blood through blood vessels, causing them to expand. These pulsations can be felt in certain areas of the body.
Which is the most critical artery in the lower leg?
The anterior tibial artery is one of the most critical arteries of the lower leg.
Where is the tibial artery located in the leg?
Kim Bengochea, Regis University, Denver The anterior tibial artery is one of the terminal branches of the popliteal artery. It arises below the popliteal fossa, in the posterior (flexor) compartment of the leg. However, the majority of its course is located in the anterior (extensor) compartment of the leg.
Where does the anterior tibial artery supply the dorsalis pedis?
The anterior tibial artery serves as the primary source artery for the dorsalis pedis angiosome in addition to supplying the tissue of the anterior leg from the anterior crest of the tibia to the fibula.
Where does the posterior recurrent tibial artery begin?
Posterior recurrent tibial artery: arises from the anterior tibial artery soon after its origin, while it is still in the posterior compartment of the leg. The posterior recurrent tibial artery courses superiorly, anterior to the popliteus muscle.
Where does the anterior tibial vein begin and end?
The anterior tibial vein runs parallel to this artery throughout its course. It crosses the front part of the ankle joint, where the dorsalis pedis artery originates.

Why The Church Must Confront Detroit's Poverty
June 23, 2019 thepulseinstitute Uncategorized Leave a comment
Editor's Note: Rev Nicholas Hood III is the senior pastor of Plymouth United Church of Christ in Detroit, one of the leading African American churches in the nation that espouses liberation theology. Rev Georgia Hill is the associate pastor and Vickie Winn is the Centennial Chair at the church. In this column written for The PuLSE Institute, all three explain the historical and present role of the church in combating poverty and inequality in Detroit through the lens of Plymouth and how it has championed social causes throughout its 100 years of existence. For submission inquiries contact the Institute's editor-in-chief Bankole Thompson at info@thepulseinstitute.org
By Rev. Nicholas Hood III., Rev Georgia Hill & Vickie Winn
It remains a widely debated topic: the role that churches should play outside the pulpit. Yet throughout American history, churches have played monumental roles which have greatly enhanced lives, particularly the African American church because of its involvement in key social and political concerns of the day. For example, during slavery the church served as a safe house, meeting place, soup kitchen and more. Today it's sometimes a homeless shelter, day care and overall catchall safety net for its own members and those in underserved communities.
That historical role of the church as a lantern for liberation has always been at the forefront of the mission that guides Plymouth United Church of Christ as a soul-saving institution located in the heart of Midtown in Detroit. Since its founding in 1919, Plymouth Church hasn't abdicated that sacred responsibility of fighting causes on behalf of the poor through both its programming and politics, even as it clocks 100 years of existence this year.
Pulpit Politics
Nine people from Montgomery, Alabama started Plymouth Church [Plymouth UCC's former name]. They desired to continue in the Congregational church tradition of faith and educating former slaves. Plymouth's first home was located at 620 Melbourne street. Years later, the church moved into its second home, a synagogue located in on Garfield Street in an area of the city with a long history of political power and poverty.
Plymouth's political roots began with Rev. Horace White. His background in social work and natural charisma benefitted him as member of the Michigan state legislature. During his service he elevated awareness of the state's role in economic and political matters and their impact on the city's African American population. Following Rev. White's tenure as pastor, Rev. Dr. Nicholas Hood Sr. arrived from New Orleans already connected to Rev. Andrew Young and Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Hood helped create the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the backyard of the church and inspired active engagement in the fight for civil rights among the congregation which continues today.
Rev Nicholas Hood III and the late Rev Nicholas Hood Sr.
Challenging the System
In 1960, just two years after arriving in Detroit to serve as minister for Plymouth, Rev. Hood learned that the church on Garfield street was housed on part of the 450-acre plot slated for urban renewal and construction of the I-75 freeway. The plan also included demolition of Plymouth and other African-American churches, as well as displacement of African Americans in the community. Yet, Anglo-American churches would go untouched, according to book, Faith in the City by Angela Dillard.
In Dillard's book she noted that the city's "urban renewal" plan was the catalyst for Rev. Hood forming the Fellowship of Urban Renewal Churches, a coalition of pastors from churches large and small who would be impacted by the city's plans. Under leadership of Rev. Hood, the group negotiated the preservation of several churches including one of the oldest Black churches in the city, Bethel AME Church. Plymouth Church was also able to remain on Garfield street. In later years, Plymouth would relocate a third time, just blocks away from that location to St. Antoine and Warren streets and eventually renamed Plymouth United Church of Christ.
Rev. Hood firmly believed churches could not stand on the sidelines watching their communities divided, given and sold to the highest bidder. "The soul cannot be saved without saving society," he said. (Dillard, 202, 2007).
To further ensure the stability of existing churches and families in the community and reject what he and other activists called "negro removal," Rev. Hood set about creating affordable housing, so residents could also remain in the places they called home.
Rev. Hood set up an independent corporation and applied for a HUD grant. The grant afforded him the opportunity to build the Medical Center Courts Apartments, a 230-unit, 25-acre development of low-income housing. It was the first development of its kind in the city since World War II.
Medical Center Courts Apartments offered apartment and two-story townhome units on a spacious campus with rolling hills of green grass. Back then, the complex was in stark contrast to the tenement towers of cramped urban living generally constructed for low-income dwellers. The effort, under Rev. Hood's leadership, made it possible for generations of families to reside in a thriving community surrounded by institutions of learning, medicine and culture. Now, the area is known as the Cultural Center. In 2009, Medical Center Courts Apartments was renamed for Rev. Dr. Nicholas Hood Sr.
Continuing a Legacy of Offering a Hand Up
Rev. Dr. Nicholas Hood III was named senior pastor of Plymouth Church in 1985. Presently, he continues in the legacy of his father and other ministers before him. The church regularly offers prayers and a variety of supports to many of the Medical Center Courts' original residents, their children and grandchildren, as well as others in the church's surrounding community.
In response to the needs of working families, Plymouth Church created a day care center in its basement. Yearly expansions were made to accommodate the student population and academic progress. Eventually the day care become Plymouth Day School, a full K-8th grade elementary. After successfully acquiring a charter from Central Michigan University in 1995, the school embarked on an ambitious building project which led to the opening of Plymouth Educational Center on the Vivian H. Ross Campus. The school became the first charter school in Michigan built from the ground-up. Today, the Plymouth school serves 500 students.
Believing firmly that education is the key to escaping poverty, Plymouth Church has grown its scholarship award program under Rev. Hood III's leadership. More than 50 years ago, students received $50 scholarships. Today, church members who are accepted into or enrolled in a college or university receive a scholarship of at least $2,000 per individual with opportunities for additional scholarship awards named in honor of former church members. Today, Plymouth's scholarship endowment stands at more than $1 million.
More than 15 years ago in a move to address the digital divide, a computer giveaway program was also created. Since that time 175 new computers and printers have been given to high-achieving students from financially challenged families in the immediate vicinity of the church. Often these recipients have been first in their household to own a brand-new computer.
Like many churches in Detroit, Plymouth has a long history of tending to the poor. Annual Thanksgiving turkey and Christmas gift giveaways are organized for families. More than 25 years ago, Plymouth opened its doors to participants of the Rotating Homeless Shelter Program. Since that time, the church has housed hundreds of homeless individuals. In addition to meals prepared by church groups and a chef, week-long engagement opportunities include spa services and haircuts, dancing and singing, games, and one-on-one conversation to enhance the experience for guests. Following this past year's effort, conversations among members have focused on ways the church may work toward making systemic change around poverty in our community.
"To Love Mercy, do Justice and to Walk Humbly with God."
Though not at the same time, both Rev. Hood Sr. and Rev. Hood III previously served as members of the Detroit City Council. This confluence of the political and the spiritual began with one of Plymouth's earlier ministers, the Rev. Horace White, as a member of the Michigan State Legislature. Today, the church's legacy of public service has consistently given birth to other members who currently serve as city council members, legislators, judges, state senators and representatives, union representatives, police commissioners, library commissioners and others working daily to address Detroit's most pressing issues on behalf of citizens.
The church's political activism manifests itself in a variety of ways. Plymouth Church has hosted numerous 'meet the candidate' events and serves as a polling site for residents to cast their votes. Political activism has also impacted the church's youngest members where two high schoolers took to social media this year, denouncing the country's apathy towards gun-control. Fellow church members both young and old supported the cause in an expression of their activism and faith.
From the church's participation in Detroit's burgeoning union movement in the 1960's to Rev. Hood, III's annual Wayne County campaign encouraging citizens to "Ring in the New Year with a Bell and Not a Bang," Plymouth United Church of Christ has boldly stepped beyond the pulpit challenging the social "norms" of the day, with faith and courage on behalf of us all and in particular, "the least of these."
Given where Detroit presently is, and in light of the poverty crisis, the church must inescapably offer hope and relief to those who feel dejected and left out in the economic recovery by advocating for humane policies that will evidently transform the lives of majority Detroiters. In so doing, the church would be fulfilling its responsibility as an institution for social change.

Q: How to create a byte out of 8 bool values (and vice versa)? I have 8 bool variables, and I want to "merge" them into a byte.
Is there an easy/preferred method to do this?
How about the other way around, decoding a byte into 8 separate boolean values?
I come in assuming it's not an unreasonable question, but since I couldn't find relevant documentation via Google, it's probably another one of those "nonono all your intuition is wrong" cases.

A: #include <stdint.h>   // to get the uint8_t type

uint8_t GetByteFromBools(const bool eightBools[8])
{
   uint8_t ret = 0;
   for (int i=0; i<8; i++) if (eightBools[i] == true) ret |= (1<<i);
   return ret;
}

void DecodeByteIntoEightBools(uint8_t theByte, bool eightBools[8])
{
   for (int i=0; i<8; i++) eightBools[i] = ((theByte & (1<<i)) != 0);
}

A: The hard way:
unsigned char ToByte(bool b[8])
{
    unsigned char c = 0;
    for (int i=0; i < 8; ++i)
        if (b[i])
            c |= 1 << i;
    return c;
}

And:
void FromByte(unsigned char c, bool b[8])
{
    for (int i=0; i < 8; ++i)
        b[i] = (c & (1<<i)) != 0;
}

Or the cool way:
struct Bits
{
    unsigned b0:1, b1:1, b2:1, b3:1, b4:1, b5:1, b6:1, b7:1;
};
union CBits
{
    Bits bits;
    unsigned char byte;
};

Then you can assign to one member of the union and read from another. But note that the order of the bits in Bits is implementation defined.
Note that reading one union member after writing another is well-defined in ISO C99, and as an extension in several major C++ implementations (including MSVC and GNU-compatible C++ compilers), but is Undefined Behaviour in ISO C++.  memcpy or C++20 std::bit_cast are the safe ways to type-pun in portable C++.
(Also, the bit-order of bitfields within a char is implementation defined, as is possible padding between bitfield members.)

A: bool a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h;
//do stuff
char y= a<<7 | b<<6 | c<<5 | d<<4 | e <<3 | f<<2 | g<<1 | h;//merge

although you are probably better off using a bitset
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/stl/bitset/bitset/

A: I'd like to note that type punning through unions is UB in C++ (as rodrigo does in his answer. The safest way to do that is memcpy()
struct Bits
{
    unsigned b0:1, b1:1, b2:1, b3:1, b4:1, b5:1, b6:1, b7:1;
};

unsigned char toByte(Bits b){
    unsigned char ret;
    memcpy(&ret, &b, 1);
    return ret;
}

As others have said, the compiler is smart enough to optimize out memcpy().
BTW, this is the way that Boost does type punning.

A: You might want to look into std::bitset. It allows you to compactly store booleans as bits, with all of the operators you would expect.
No point fooling around with bit-flipping and whatnot when you can abstract away.

A: The cool way (using the multiplication technique)
inline uint8_t pack8bools(bool* a)
{
    uint64_t t;
    memcpy(&t, a, sizeof t);         //  strict-aliasing & alignment safe load
    return 0x8040201008040201ULL*t >> 56;
       // bit order: a[0]<<7 | a[1]<<6 | ... | a[7]<<0  on little-endian
       // for a[0] => LSB, use 0x0102040810204080ULL    on little-endian
}

void unpack8bools(uint8_t b, bool* a)
{
       // on little-endian,  a[0] = (b>>7) & 1  like printing order
    auto MAGIC = 0x8040201008040201ULL;  // for opposite order, byte-reverse this
    auto MASK  = 0x8080808080808080ULL;
    uint64_t t = ((MAGIC*b) & MASK) >> 7;
    memcpy(a, &t, sizeof t);    // store 8 bytes without UB
}

Assuming sizeof(bool) == 1
To portably do LSB <-> a[0] (like the pext/pdep version below) instead of using the opposite of host endianness, use htole64(0x0102040810204080ULL) as the magic multiplier in both versions.  (htole64 is from BSD / GNU  <endian.h>).  That arranges the multiplier bytes to match little-endian order for the bool array.  htobe64 with the same constant gives the other order, MSB-first like you'd use for printing a number in base 2.
You may want to make sure that the bool array is 8-byte aligned (alignas(8)) for performance, and that the compiler knows this.  memcpy is always safe for any alignment, but on ISAs that require alignment, a compiler can only inline memcpy as a single load or store instruction if it knows the pointer is sufficiently aligned.  *(uint64_t*)a would promise alignment, but also violate the strict-aliasing rule.  Even on ISAs that allow unaligned loads, they can be faster when naturally aligned. But the compiler can still inline memcpy without seeing that guarantee at compile time.

How they work
Suppose we have 8 bools b[0] to b[7] whose least significant bits are named a-h respectively that we want to pack into a single byte. Treating those 8 consecutive bools as one 64-bit word and load them we'll get the bits in reversed order in a little-endian machine. Now we'll do a multiplication (here dots are zero bits)
  |  b7  ||  b6  ||  b4  ||  b4  ||  b3  ||  b2  ||  b1  ||  b0  |
  .......h.......g.......f.......e.......d.......c.......b.......a
× 1000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
  ↑......h.↑.....g..↑....f...↑...e....↑..d.....↑.c......↑b.......a
  ↑.....g..↑....f...↑...e....↑..d.....↑.c......↑b.......a
  ↑....f...↑...e....↑..d.....↑.c......↑b.......a
+ ↑...e....↑..d.....↑.c......↑b.......a
  ↑..d.....↑.c......↑b.......a
  ↑.c......↑b.......a
  ↑b.......a
  a
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
= abcdefghxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The arrows are added so it's easier to see the position of the set bits in the magic number. At this point 8 least significant bits has been put in the top byte, we'll just need to mask the remaining bits out
So the magic number for packing would be 0b1000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001 or 0x8040201008040201. If you're on a big endian machine you'll need to use the magic number 0x0102040810204080 which is calculated in a similar manner
For unpacking we can do a similar multiplication
  |  b7  ||  b6  ||  b4  ||  b4  ||  b3  ||  b2  ||  b1  ||  b0  |
                                                          abcdefgh
× 1000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001000000001
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
= h0abcdefgh0abcdefgh0abcdefgh0abcdefgh0abcdefgh0abcdefgh0abcdefgh
& 1000000010000000100000001000000010000000100000001000000010000000
  ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
= h0000000g0000000f0000000e0000000d0000000c0000000b0000000a0000000

After multiplying we have the needed bits at the most significant positions, so we need to mask out irrelevant bits and shift the remaining ones to the least significant positions. The output will be the bytes contain a to h in little endian.

The efficient way
On newer x86 CPUs with BMI2 there are PEXT and PDEP instructions for this purpose. The pack8bools function above can be replaced with
_pext_u64(*((uint64_t*)a), 0x0101010101010101ULL);

And the unpack8bools function can be implemented as
_pdep_u64(b, 0x0101010101010101ULL);

(This maps LSB -> LSB, like a 0x0102040810204080ULL multiplier constant, opposite of 0x8040201008040201ULL.  x86 is little-endian: a[0] = (b>>0) & 1; after memcpy.)
Unfortunately those instructions are very slow on AMD before Zen 3 so you may need to compare with the multiplication method above to see which is better
The other fast way is SSE2
x86 SIMD has an operation that takes the high bit of every byte (or float or double) in a vector register, and gives it to you as an integer.  The instruction for bytes is pmovmskb.  This can of course do 16 bytes at a time with the same number of instructions, so it gets better than the multiply trick if you have lots of this to do.
#include <immintrin.h>

inline uint8_t pack8bools_SSE2(const bool* a)
{
    __m128i v = _mm_loadl_epi64( (const __m128i*)a );  // 8-byte load, despite the pointer type.
    // __m128 v = _mm_cvtsi64_si128( uint64 );  // alternative if you already have an 8-byte integer
    v = _mm_slli_epi32(v, 7);   // low bit of each byte becomes the highest
    return _mm_movemask_epi8(v);
}

There isn't a single instruction to unpack until AVX-512, which has mask-to-vector instructions.  It is doable with SIMD, but likely not as efficiently as the multiply trick.  See  Convert 16 bits mask to 16 bytes mask and more generally is there an inverse instruction to the movemask instruction in intel avx2? for unpacking bitmaps to other element sizes.
How to efficiently convert an 8-bit bitmap to array of 0/1 integers with x86 SIMD has some answers specifically for 8-bits -> 8-bytes, but if you can't do 16 bits at a time for that direction, the multiply trick is probably better, and pext certainly is (except on CPUs where it's disastrously slow, like AMD before Zen 3).

A: There is no way to pack 8 bool variables into one byte. There is a way packing 8 logical true/false states in a single byte using Bitmasking.

A: You would use the bitwise shift operation and casting to archive it. a function could work like this:
unsigned char toByte(bool *bools)
{
    unsigned char byte = \0;
    for(int i = 0; i < 8; ++i) byte |= ((unsigned char) bools[i]) << i;
    return byte;
}

In episode 5 of Desi Rascals 2, Farha invites Moses for dinner. Solomon asks out Kavita for a second date. Owais apologises to Feryal. DESIblitz has more.
In the fifth episode of Desi Rascals 2, Farha invites Moses to the Rai family home for dinner.
Jasmin has to make a choice between her career or Ross?
Jason takes a ride in Adam's Ferrari. How will 'The Squad' react?
Owais seeks forgiveness from Feryal.
And Solomon asks Kavita out for a second date. How will she respond?
Anj, Moses, Shmoyel, and Owais are having fun swimming in an outdoor pool. It's all fun and games, as they flex their guns and tense their abs.
However, Jason is late. No need to worry though. Adam is happy to give him a lift in his Ferrari.
The lads are not impressed. Jason tries to justify his actions. He says he stood up for Owais when speaking to Adam.
Later Jason says to Ross and Moses that he feels like Anj 'threw him under a bus'. How will they repair their friendship?
In the lovely leafy green lawns of a tennis club, Jasmin and Ross defeat Jason and his belle Lydia, in a game of mixed doubles.
After as the young couple converse, Jasmin uses the opportunity to impress with her Hindi ('Ek, do, theen, chaar…') as Ross playfully teases her.
But the tone turns sour when Jasmin mentions her Bollywood move.
Ross is clearly upset, saying that her moving to India at this stage would be 'a big kick in the teeth'.
There is relief all around. For now.
The female equivalent of Meddling Manoj, the interfering mother is making a hard sell for her daughter.
Farha's previous relationship did not work out because of a culture clash. She was Indian, and he was Pakistani.
Let's hope for both of their sakes that this is not a case of deja vu.
Thus, to ward away the 'evil eye', Mrs Rai carries out an age-old desi ritual of waving the mirch (chilli pepper) around their heads, and burning it.
For maximum suspense, before the half-time break, we see Owais call someone on the phone. But who is the mystery woman?
After the break, we find out. It's Feryal! Owais mans up and displays high-level chivalry with a gracious apology.
He says: "I can't forgive myself for doing what I did.
Feryal responds: "I really don't think you understand the damage you've done.
She is not ready to forgive Owais yet. She needs time for the wounds to heal.
Solomon, with the help of Yasmin and Natalie, has organised a big bash for all of the young Desi Rascals.
Solly is confused. Her words are saying 'no'. But her flirtatious eye contact and body language are saying 'yes'.
But despite her smile, it's becomes a clear no. And Solly accepts defeat.
Why can't these two just get married already, and live happily ever after?
Because Bollywood dramebaaze are never that simple.
Adam is upset at Yasmin for trying to court rishtas.
Yasmin is upset with Adam because he said 'he'd never even considered marriage' but proposed to someone a few years ago.
As both of their eyes are well up, Yasmin begins to open up.
And they resume their verbal boxing match. Until Adam walks off.
There's continuing tension in the ten year bromance between Anj and Jason.
And as Jo is all set for her move to Mumbai, will Moses make one last stand?
Catch episode six of Desi Rascals 2 on Wednesday 26th August 2015 at 8pm on Sky 1.

Musing about delayed patronage
This post was triggered by a comment that Andrew Back made on a recent post of mine, on orphan albums.
The long tail has two dimensions to it. On the one hand, it shows how the hit culture is breaking down, how there are many many niche markets for many many things. On the other hand, it connects people to the niche products.
Some of these niche thingummybobs have cult status. Some of these thingummybobs have reached their cult status many years after the creation of the thingummybobs. Some of the people who created these thingummybobs now live in difficult circumstances, and probably wish their thingummybobs had acquired cult status earlier.
We cannot alter history, but we can make a difference to those people now. Particularly if we have received years of enjoyment from the cult thingummybobs.
Just a thought, probably influenced by my delving into the life of Robert Johnson many years ago. These things are hard to prove, but there is anecdotal evidence that he died so poor that he wasn't put into a coffin; there is also some similarly anecdotal evidence that his son and heir waited maybe 50 years before he received anything in the form of royalties.
In the past, it would have been difficult to trace the people who bestowed cult status on anything. Today the costs of searching for and discovering the cult fans is sharply reduced, and it becomes possible to connect the fan with the creator. Any views?

Stephen Smoliar says:
John Cage spent most of his life being called either a "bad boy" of music (an epithet originally directed at George Antheil) or being accused that his compositions were not music at all. Nevertheless, he was probably the closest thing to a saint I ever met and could barely find a harsh word for either his circumstances or his critics. As is often the case, after he passed the age of 70, he began to get recognition and several rather "serious" awards. I heard him once at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, reading the speech he had prepared on the occasion of receiving one of these awards. All the language conformed to his usual standard of mild politeness; but the message behind the words was absolutely clear: "Where were you when I needed you?" So much for "delayed patronage!"
Your dismissiveness intrigues me. You say "so much for delayed patronage".
We can prevent it from being needed by ensuring that artists do connect with their fans now, something that social software allows us to do. We can help those who, like your example, weren't supported in their heyday. Surely better late than never?
I can understand the frustration shown by the musician in your example, but how does that take this debate forward? What did you expect me to learn from your comment? I am confused.
Andrew Back says:
Stephen, from your account I can see how John Cage would have been justified in feeling bitter. But as you pointed out we often don't develop a proper appreciation of someone's contribution until very late in the game, and in some cases too late. But it's so much easier to review things further down the line, in the context of what went before and after, and with the luxury of being able to draw parallels and construct theories as to influence and so on, once the dust has settled. I suspect that in some cases misplaced nostalgia also plays a part. Especially when the music industry cashes in on a resurgence of interest in a particular period, scene or style, and anything loosely associated gets drawn into the vortex of compilation frenzy.
My own musical hero, Arthur Russell, enjoyed limited success as a producer of disco music in the 70s and 80s. But it is only very recently that he has gained recognition for his achingly beautiful avant garde and pop/folk compositions. And whereas not so long ago he was little known, he is now obsessed about by folks the world over, 15 years after he died aged 40. So I feel sad that he isn't around to see the effect that much of his music has had on people. And even if he were he could've likely done with the props and the readies a bit sooner…
As for "delayed patronage" I think it's a good 2nd best, and possibly the best option available in the absence of being able to make people recognise good music on first hearing it. And we certainly need a new model for artist reward since nobody appears to be buying music any more [Incidentally I do, but on heavy black plastic discs. But that is another story].
Andrew, it sounds like your hero followed my aforementioned Tristano strategy: He got himself a well-paying day job!
https://confusedofcalcutta.com/2007/08/30/musing-about-music-and-content-and-walled-gardens/#comment-181450
Cage basically did the same but with less of a conflict of interest. He had collaborated with choreographer Merce Cunningham for a very long time. When Cunningham had accumulated enough dancers to form a company and arrange things like tours, Cage assumed the responsibility of business manager (and did it very well by many accounts). He did music for new dances (and other concert opportunities) as time allowed.
JP wanted to know how any of this takes "this debate forward." I think the important things is that Tristano, Russell, and Cage all had pretty high ambitions for what they wanted to do; but they also had realistic expectations about doing it. My violinist neighbor, who plays in the San Francisco Opera Orchestra and is basically of my generation (two years younger), recently observed that the younger crop of performers is not as realistic about their expectations as those who experienced the hard knocks of trying to make a living at music in the twentieth century. I was first aware of this "expectation gap" at a multimedia symposium I attended at the Castro (in San Francisco) about fifteen years ago (just as the Internet was building up steam). The audience was full of unrealistic expectations about "doing your own thing" on the Internet and making a living from it. The technology has matured a lot since then, but the expectations of the users have not followed suit!
There are a lot of pessimists out there bemoaning the deterioration of critical thinking; personally, I would be happy if we could keep realistic thinking intact!

Contextual OOH campaign
Contextual OOH campaign for US TV show "Adam Ruins Everything" focuses on debunking 'truths' in key locations
Truths—inconvenient, irreverent and otherwise—are the focus of truTV's irrepressible out-of-home campaign promoting the second season of Adam Ruins Everything, a show that amusingly debunks popular myths and sets the record straight on all manner of cultural misconceptions.
Developed with Work in Progress and themed "Contextual Ruins," the ads share truths in or near physical locations that could be "ruined," in theory—for some folks, at least—by such knowledge leaking out.
Take, for example, Mount Rushmore's complicated and controversial history, truTV caused a viral stir by chiseling away at the topic with billboards that popped up around the iconic national memorial in South Dakota.
"We wanted to create one-to-one marketing on a scalable level," says Puja Vohra, truTV's evp of marketing and digital. "We used a few criteria—topics that were the most relatable to consumers, locations that could be tied to and amplify them, and subjects we thought would cause the most disruption and conversation."
Sure, life's not soul-crushing enough already. Let's add some truth to the mix!
Which brings us, naturally, to the campaign's take on herpes.
Thankfully, most of us will never develop icky symptoms. Isn't that reassuring?
"The topic is so universal, the statement is accurate, and the placement really generates a surprise and grounds it in reality—just like the show," says Vohra.
If that herpes bus wrap left you smarting, never fear. truTV dumbs things down for its next outing.
"The biggest challenge we had was finding the right media in the right locations," Vohra says. Here's an example of one such highly targeted buy designed to make a splash.
Here's a spirited take on pricey wines vs. cheap hooch.
And why skirt the topic of hula dancers?
Breaking with the OOH formula, the campaign's roadblock on SheKnows should whet baba's appetite.
"truTV fans are millennial comedy lovers who engage in a broad range of comedic styles, and one of their core attributes is that they love takeaways—nuggets from our shows that they can share with their friends in person or on social media," Vohra says. "So, delivering these nuggets of relevant information in surprising and contextual places feels like a bull's-eye for this audience. It really brings Adam Ruins Everything directly into their lives, even when they're away from the TV screen."
Moreover, "Contextual Ruins" and the series it touts seem especially in tune with the times, as cries of "fake news" echo across the landscape, with today's consumers unsure exactly who and what to believe. "At a time when people are hungry for the truth and some comedic relief, Adam Ruins Everything delivers both," Vohra says.
That dynamic has fueled considerable coverage of the campaign, boosting its reach well beyond the media buy. "I'd be lying if I said we weren't hoping for it," adds Vohra.
Ain't it the truth!

Q: How to get nightwatch to output to include console.log commands from the browser app Is there any way to log to the nightwatch output console when running console.log in the browser app? This would be useful in CI where its hard to debug issues?

A: There is no event from the browser that tells the framework when there is a console message but you can get the browser console with .getLog.
Now you still have to figure out when to call it. Personally I use it when I'm switching to a new page.
browser.getLog('browser', function(logEntriesArray) {
  if (logEntriesArray.length) {
    console.log('Log length: ' + logEntriesArray.length);
    logEntriesArray.forEach(function(log) {
      console.log(

      );
    });

A Conservative Christian Group Wants to Keep Transgender Athletes From Girls' Sports
Legal experts say this complaint resonates with a larger pattern of discrimination against transgender girls and women in sports.
The lawsuit comes at a time of growing anti-transgender discrimination in the sports world.
(Photo: Nicolas Hoizey/Unsplash)
Three high school track athletes represented by a conservative Christian group are seeking to overturn Connecticut's statewide policy allowing transgender student athletes to compete on sports teams without restrictions.
Alliance Defending Freedom, which has also represented plaintiffs in lawsuits challenging same-sex marriage and abortion rights, on Monday filed a federal discrimination complaint with the United States Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights, the office that enforces laws prohibiting gender discrimination in schools, the Associated Press reports.
Citing Title IX protections, the ADF has suggested that the three cisgender female athletes who filed the complaint missed out on wins or scholarships, according to the AP.
Connecticut is one of at least 19 states with inclusive policies allowing transgender students to compete on the team that aligns with their gender identity. Legal experts say this complaint could threaten this protection—and it also resonates with a larger pattern of discrimination against transgender girls and women in sports.
"The more we are told that we don't belong and should be ashamed of who we are, the fewer opportunities we have to participate in sports at all," Terry Miller, one of the transgender track and field athletes affected by the complaint, said in a statement to the American Civil Liberties Union on Wednesday. "And being an athlete can help us survive. But instead we are being told to be quiet, to go home, to stop being who we are."
Fear of Transgender Athletes Dominating the Field
"ADF has a much larger agenda here, to attack and demonize transgender people," says Shannon Minter, an attorney and legal director with the LGBT advocacy group National Center for Lesbian Rights. "It's so upsetting that they would attack these young people, who are already facing so many barriers and so much bias and are so brave to be open and supposedly have the opportunity to participate, just like other students, in high school athletics."
The complaint capitalizes on the fear that female transgender athletes are dominating the field in a way that's somehow unfair to their cisgender peers—a transphobic assumption that's never held true, but has still garnered attention as conservative groups and the Trump administration continue to undermine protections for transgender people in schools and beyond.
"Over the past 10 years, a number of states have adopted policies allowing trans girls to play on girls' teams," Minter says. "There's now been quite a few transgender girls who have done that, and there's been no pattern whatsoever of those girls 'dominating' those sports. Most transgender girls, just like most girls, are average."
Title IX Protections
Title IX, as it's commonly applied to school athletics, ensures that men and women have equal opportunity to play sports. In the courts, Title IX protections have been used to protect, not target, transgender students. "ADF is trying to turn this completely upside down, arguing the opposite: that Title IX prohibits schools from protecting transgender students," Minter explains. According to the National Center for Transgender Equality, since 2015, federal courts have ruled in more than 10 cases that Title IX extends to transgender people; many more have done the same for other federal sex discrimination laws.
The Obama administration, too, issued guidance making it clear that the law's protections against discrimination extend to transgender people—which the Department of Education quickly rescinded under President Donald Trump. (The Trump administration has drastically weakened transgender protections in a number of ways: allowing federally funded homeless shelters to deny transgender people, banning transgender military service members, and rolling back protections against health-care discrimination for transgender people.)
Advocates say it's likely a court would uphold the protection yet again. But Minter notes that the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights is "particularly hostile" to transgender people. "I think we can expect a terrible decision by this agency," he says.
A staff attorney with the ACLU, which issued a statement against the ADF's complaint, echoed this on Wednesday. The lawsuit "is dangerous, and it is distorts Title IX," Chase Strangio says. "Efforts to undermine Title IX by claiming it doesn't apply to a subset of girls will ultimately hurt all students."
If students were to lose these protections, Minter says the consequences could be "devastating." Already, at the college level, most schools do not have a policy promoting the inclusion of transgender student-athletes, according to the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
Gender Discrimination in Sports
Aside from the legal significance, this challenge also represents the growing anti-transgender discrimination in the sports world. As writer and transgender rights activist Parker Molloy wrote on Twitter last month, transphobic groups and conservative media outlets often demonize transgender athletes by only covering the times they win over cisgender peers.
The fact remains that these attacks are grounded in a transphobic, sexist, and racist history of gender policing, which includes subjecting women athletes to "sex verification" tests. "It's easy to manipulate people's fears and misconceptions, and that's exactly what the ADF is trying to do here," Minter says.
Two of the transgender students named in the complaint responded by vowing to fight for their right to compete in sports this week. "I hope that the next generation of trans youth doesn't have to fight the fights that I have," Andraya Yearwood said. "For the next generation, I run for you."

The Republican Congress has finally come up with two bills that will replace some pieces of Obamacare.
It's now being revealed that the Congressional Budget Office won't be able to score the law, so legislators and taxpayers won't know how much the plan will cost. At the same time, millions still won't be covered. There will be massive cuts to Medicaid, meaning low-income people will no longer be covered.
Expansion of Medicaid to cover more low-income people will be phased out over time so many won't lose their healthcare immediately, but they'll lose it in 2020. Planned Parenthood will be defunded in the GOP's new plan, so 2.5 million women will no longer be able to get birth control or mammograms. Insurance companies will get a substantial tax break, which they can use for CEO bonuses. If you have a pre-existing condition you better not stop paying for healthcare because the second that you aren't covered, your pre-existing condition is also no longer covered.
Perhaps that is why Twitter was aghast and angry Tuesday morning, lighting up the internet with mockery and shame for President Donald Trump and the Republican Congress.
I was promised a "full repeal" because it was a "disaster."
Is he really calling it #Trumpcare?
He could've atleast come up with an original name, if not a better plan.
Well, #Trumpcare looks awful, but like so many ventures with the word "Trump" in it, it's bound to go bankrupt anyway.
The GOP should just start charging people $20 to yell at the Republican "leader" of their choice. #TrumpCare would be funded instantly.
#Trumpcare giving more tax breaks to the wealthy, making the poor pay what they don't have and making sure middle class gets screwed.
Pros: It's not called "ObamaCare"
Cons: It's much worse. Much more expensive, with less coverage.

Welcome to Neo Classic Space
Okay, I feel bad posting the first entry, but here goes...
This website came about because of an idea Pete Reid had, what seems like an eternity ago now. But I'll let him tell you that story.
Neo Classic Space is a reimagining of the Lego Classic Space ships and vehicles from the blue/grey era, using modern building techniques and parts. Neo Classic Space models are more than just inspired by the classic space line, they are the continuation of that line to its logical conclusion, and as such follow a carefully thought standard that we feel is in keeping with the original designers' intentions.
neoclassicspace.com is a home for the models we build in this style. If you would like to contribute, please fill out the contact form and let us have a look at your models. We welcome contributors, but please don't be upset if we don't accept your first efforts. It doesn't mean they aren't great models, just that they don't fit with the Neo Classic Space standard.
But that's enough from me... time for some Neo Classic Space!


The Workshop "Food Photography for Chefs & Bloggers" recently gathered at Italian Colors Restaurant. The full capacity crowd of skilled chefs, creative bloggers and talented photographers shared the day and took away some new insights. Below are a few snaps of the day.

It's just a bit of gallows humor. The remark is often said in real life to downplay someone else's complaint about heat.

I can see a couple of reasons, just off the top of my head: It's not like the aliens were just going to sit back and let her leave.

Built heritage in Acocks Green
Acocks Green was a rural backwater until the coming of the railway in 1852. All the farms and large houses have gone, and apart from a few cottages, the oldest buildings left were built as Acocks Green developed after that date. However, just over the canal are some statutorily listed buildings, and they are included here because of their proximity, not because they are strictly speaking in Acocks Green! The last obviously timber-framed building in Acocks Green itself was pulled down in the 1970s amidst controversy. This was Fieldgate Farm, off Yardley Road near the canal. The oldest buildings in Acocks Green are probably the cottages on Arden Road. If you want to define Mansfield Road as part of Acocks Green, Pinfold House and the timber-framed buildings alongside are 17th century. All these are described on the page about statutorily listed buildings.
The information on the listed buildings is reproduced or taken from the public information held by the Planning service of the City Council. Any changes to the buildings since then are not catered for. More documents can be found at http://www.birmingham.gov.uk/cs/Satellite/conservation?packedargs=website%3D4&rendermode=live
Other buildings may not be listed but are worthy of note in their own right.
