DESCRIPTION: This extension calculates the distance and bearing between features with identical attribute values, allowing you to generate connecting lines and calculate data for specific sets of features.
Output options include a Results table containing various user-selected fields such as distance and bearing between features, X/Y coordinates, centroids vs. closest edges, etc. You can also generate a polyline shapefile of the lines connecting features or draw graphic connecting lines in the view.
Centroids vs. Closest Edges: If desired, this extension can calculate the distance and bearing between the centroids of the Input and Comparison features as well as the distance and bearing between the closest edges of those features. For example, if two polygon themes are used in the analysis, then this extension will determine what points on the edges of the respective polygons (not necessarily vertices) are closest to each other, and calculate the distance and bearing based on these closest points. If the features intersect or if one lies within the other, the distance between edges will be zero but there will still be a calculated value for the distance between centroids. You can have graphics drawn connecting the centroids and/or the closest edges of the respective features.
All or only selected records: You can either use all the features in your input and comparison themes, or only a selected subset of those features for the analysis. If any features in either theme are selected, then only those selected features in that theme will be used in the analysis. If no features are selected, then all features in that theme will be used in the analysis.
Projected vs. Unprojected Views: If your original data are in Lat/Long coordinates (the Geographic Projection) and your View has been projected, then you have the option to calculate data based on either the Geographic Projection (latitude/longitude) or the View Projection. The choice of projections can dramatically affect distances, bearings and coordinates of closest edge points.
Geodesic Curves: If your data are all in point format and if they are in geographic coordinates (i.e. Latitude/Longitude or "Unprojected"), then you have to option to calculate distances and bearings using geodesic curves in order to get the most accurate measures possible.
Add a Record Number Field to Tables: This extension requires that the input and comparison theme attribute tables have a field containing unique ID values that can be used to identify each feature. If such a field is not available, then this extension includes a function to generate a field of record numbers in your table (see Adding a Record Number Field below).
Results Table: A table containing distances, bearings and locations of centroids and/or closest points between matching features. The fields are chosen by you, and the field will not be calculated if you do not want it. The optional fields are described on page 9 of this manual. Optionally, you can automatically join this Results table with the input DBF file.
Polyline Shapefile: You may also elect to generate a polyline shapefile of connecting lines. The shapefile attribute table will have all the values described above, depending on the choices you specify.
If either the input or comparison feature has a unique Selection value, then there will be no matching features and therefore Distance, Bearing and Edge Coordinates will be assigned the value -9999. No polylines will be generated in this case.
Jenness, J. 2007. Distance and bearing between matched features (distbyid.avx) extension for ArcView 3.x, v. 2.1. Jenness Enterprises. Available at: http://www.jennessent.com/arcview/distance_by_id.htm.
Version 1.2 fixes an intermittent problem that produces the error message "Variable theCompPointOne has not been initialized," and makes a few minor stylistic changes.
Version 1.3 fixes an intermittent problem that generated -9999 values in cases where the ID values were large numbers.
Version 1.4 fixes an intermittent problem that produced an error message stating that "Variable thePointX has not been initialized!".
Version 1.53 (February 27, 2004) includes options to calculate distances and bearings based on geodesic curves, if both input and comparison themes are Point themes.
Version 2.0 (November 19, 2004) adds the option to generate data and connecting lines between multiple Input features and multiple Comparison features with the same attribute value, and also to generate connecting lines between features in the same theme. Version 2.0 also adds a button to delete any graphics created by this extension.
Version 2.1 (September 4, 2007) corrects a bug with the message "Variable ComparisonIDIsString has not been initialized", and which occurs when the user specifies that only a results table, but no polyline shapefile, should be generated.
1) Begin by placing the "distbyid.avx" file into the ArcView extensions directory (../../Av_gis30/Arcview/ext32/).
2) After starting ArcView, load the extension by clicking on File à Extensions… , scrolling down through the list of available extensions, and then clicking on the checkbox next to the extension called "Distance/Bearing: Matched Features."
3) Click the button from the View Button bar to start the analysis.
This extension works by generating a list of all unique attribute values used to match features (called "Selection" values), and then identifying all features from the 1st theme (called the "Input" theme) and all features from the 2nd theme (called the "Comparison" theme) with that attribute value. All input features will be connected to all comparison features with the same selection value, such that 5 input features and 6 comparison features with a common Selection value will produce 30 connecting polylines and 30 rows of data in the Results table.
This extension will not connect input features to themselves, or comparison features to themselves. In the example above, the 5 input features will ONLY be connected to the 6 comparison features and vice versa. However, you can use the same theme as both the Input theme and the Comparison theme, in which case all features with the same selection values will be connected to each other.
ID Field: Select the field that contains a unique identifier for each feature in the Input Theme. These values are used to identify the respective input features in your output table and/or shapefile. If such a field is not available, you can generate a field of record numbers for this purpose (see Adding a Record Number Field below).
SELECTION Field: Select the field that contains the attribute value that matches the Input features with the Comparison features. These are the values that will be used to identify which input and comparison features to connect. THIS CAN BE THE SAME FIELD AS YOUR ID FIELD.
ID Field: Select the field that contains a unique identifier for each feature in the Comparison Theme. These values are used to identify the respective comparison features in your output table and/or shapefile. If such a field is not available, you can generate a field of record numbers for this purpose (see Adding a Record Number Field below).
3) At this point, you may be asked what projection to use to calculate the RESULTS data. This option only applies if your original data are in Latitude/Longitude coordinates (i.e. the "Geographic" or "Unprojected" projection) and your view is set to some user-specified projection. In this case you have the option to calculate the distances and bearings between features based on either the View projection or on the original data Geographic projection.
This choice can have dramatic differences on distances, bearings and edge coordinates, and even on which parts of the features are considered "nearest" to each other. Remember that distance calculations are based on the coordinate system of the data and that therefore distances based on Latitude/Longitude coordinates will come out in units of "degrees," which are rarely useful to the user. The results will not be truly in "degrees" either, because a degree is an angular measure and this extension will treat them as Cartesian values.
This extension is currently set up to only offer geodesic distances if working with points. This option will not be offered if you are working with polylines or polygons. Also, it assumes that the point coordinates are in Latitude/Longitude, so the results will not be accurate if your points are in any other coordinate system.
These geodesic distances are really the only way to get consistently accurate distance measures when your route goes over significant portions of the earth. This method is more accurate than using an equidistant map projection because such projections are only accurate between specific points. These geodesic curves allow us to determine distances between any two points on the globe.
Geodesic curves provide much more accurate measures of distance over the surface of the planet. They look odd when projected into the geographic projection but they are clearly the more accurate method when viewed from space.
In another example, the following image illustrates a long-distance migration route for a hypothetical bird. It may fly in a straight line from Uruguay to Alaska, but only a equidistant projection specifically set for this route can produce accurate values for distance and azimuth. Geodesic curves do not rely on particular projections because they model the actual shape of the world in 3 dimensions. They do, however, depend on a spheroidal model, and this extension uses the WGS-80 spheroid for all geodesic calculations.
4) After the Themes and their associated ID and Selection fields are selected, you will be prompted to specify what data you want to calculate. Each checked option will become a new field in the Results table.
Each option will create the following fields in the Results table.
Input Unique ID [Input_ID]: ID value for the INPUT feature, taken from the Input theme DBF file. Each Input feature is identified in the result table allowing it to be linked back to the original Input theme shapefile. In most cases, this field should contain unique values for each input feature.
Comparison Unique ID [Comp_ID]: ID value for the COMPARISON feature, taken from the Comparison theme DBF file. Distances and bearings are calculated for the line connecting the INPUT feature to the COMPARISON feature.
Input Selection Value [Input_Val]: Selection value for the INPUT feature, taken from the Input theme DBF file. This value is used to match the INPUT feature with a COMPARISON feature with the same value.
Comparison Selection Value [Comp_Val]: Selection value for the COMPARISON point, taken from the Comparison theme DBF file.
Input Centroid X-Coordinate [Fr_Cent_X]: The X-coordinate of the centroid of the INPUT feature.
Input Centroid Y-Coordinate [Fr_Cent_Y]: The Y-coordinate of the centroid of the INPUT feature.
Comparison Centroid X-Coordinate [To_Cent_X]: The X-coordinate of the centroid of the COMPARISON feature.
Comparison Centroid Y-Coordinate [To_Cent_Y]: The Y-coordinate of the centroid of the COMPARISON feature.
Input Closest Edge X-Coordinate [Fr_Edge_X]: The X-coordinate of the closest edge of the INPUT feature.
Input Closest Edge Y-Coordinate [Fr_Edge_Y]: The Y-coordinate of the closest edge of the INPUT feature.
Comparison Closest Edge X-Coordinate [To_Edge_X]: The X-coordinate of the closest edge of the COMPARISON feature.
Comparison Closest Edge Y-Coordinate [To_Edge_Y]: The Y-coordinate of the closest edge of the COMPARISON feature.
Bearing to Centroid [Cent_Bear]: The bearing of the line connecting the Centroids of the INPUT and COMPARISON features.
Distance to Centroid [Cent_Dist]: The distance of the line in map units connecting the Centroids of the INPUT and COMPARISON features.
Bearing to Closest Edge [Edge_Bear]: The bearing of the line connecting the Closest Edges of the INPUT and COMPARISON features.
Distance to Closest Edge [Edge_Dist]: The distance of the line in map units connecting the Closest Edges of the INPUT and COMPARISON features.
Joining Results Table to Input Table: This dialog box also gives you the option to join the Results table with the Input Theme Feature Table. If you choose this option, the table can still always be separated by clicking on "Remove All Joins" in the table menu. Regardless of whether you join tables or not, the table will still be saved onto the hard drive. IMPORTANT: This option is most useful when each input feature can only be matched to a single comparison feature. If you have multiple comparison features that are matched to any particular input feature, then only the first comparison feature will be joined to the Input table. This is the case any time two tables are joined together.
If you do not wish to generate graphic lines, leave the options set to "– No Lines –" and click the OK button. If you generate graphics, then you can always delete them by clicking the button in the View button bar.
6) Finally, choose the name and location for the RESULTS and/or the new shapefile table on the hard drive. These are standard ArcView dialog boxes and should be familiar to most users. The table will appear in your current project regardless of where you save the table, either as a separate table or joined to the Input Theme Feature Attribute Table. The shapefile will be added as a theme to the current view.
This extension requires that you specify a field containing unique ID values for both the Input and Comparison themes. These values are necessary because otherwise there is no easy way to determine which Results record, or connecting line shape, is associated with each input or comparison feature.
If there is no ID field available, then the record numbers in the attribute table would serve the purpose perfectly. Therefore the author added this function to easily create a "Record Number" field in your table. IMPORTANT: This function will modify your existing table and the change will be permanent. There is no UNDO operation for this. The modification is minor, though, and none of your current data will be changed. Any selection you have set will still be there after the operation.

Johann (Hans) Hölzel, bolje poznan pod psevdonimom Falco, avstrijski pop rock pevec in tekstopisec, * 19. februar 1957, Dunaj, Avstrija, † 6. februar 1998, Puerto Plata, Dominikanska republika.
Znan je predvsem po uspešnici Rock Me Amadeus. Za časa svojega življenja je prodal okoli 60 milijonov plošč.

Mladost in šolanje

Hans Hölzel se je rodil 19. februarja 1957. leta na Dunaju, kot edini preživeli izmed trojčkov. Že zelo zgodaj je pokazal nadarjenost za glasbo.  Ko je bil star pet let, je sodeloval na avdiciji Dunajske glasbene akademije (Wiener Musikakademie), kjer so potrdili, da ima absolutni posluh.

Leta 1963 je začel obiskovati zasebno katoliško šolo. Od leta 1967 je nadaljeval svoje izobraževanje na Rainer-Gymnasium na Dunaju. Leta 1973 je opustil šolanje. Pri sedemnajstih letih se je odločil za osem mesečno služenje vojaškega roka v avstrijski vojski.

Po služenju vojaškega roka, se je 1977. leta vpisal na Dunajski glasbeni konzeravtorij (Wiener Musikkonservatorium), vendar je izstopil že po enem letu, da bi postal "pravi glasbenik".

Glasbena kariera

Začetki (1977 - 1980)
Kratek čas je živel v Zahodnem Berlinu, kjer je sodeloval v jazz skupini in raziskoval tamkajšnjo klubsko sceno. Po vrnitvi v Avstrijo, si je izbral umetniško ime po vzhodnonemškem smučarskem skakalcu Falku Weißpflogu, vendar je ime Falko spremenil v Falco, da je ime postalo bolj mednarodno.

Ko je ponovno bil na Dunaju, je prvo igral v skupini Hallucination Company, s katero je dosegel svoje prve uspehe. Kasneje je svojo glasbeno pot nadaljeval kot basist v hard rock skupini Drahdiwaberl (hkrati je deloval še v skupini Spinning Wheel). S skupino Drahdiwaberl je ustvaril in izvajal tudi pesem Ganz Wien, ki jo je kasneje vključil na svoj debitantski album Einzelhaft.

Prva albuma (1981 – 1984)
Ob uspehu pesmi Ganz Wien je spoznal dunajskega založnika Markusa Spiegla, s katerim je sklenil pogodbo in tako je Falco začel svojo samostojno pot. S producentom Robertom Pongerjem je ustvaril skladbo Der Komissar, ki je hitro postala hit. Der Komissar je postala uspešnica v Evropi in tudi v ZDA. Skupno se je skladba Der Komissar prodala v več kot sedem milijonov izvodih. Leta 1982 je izdal svoj prvi album z naslovom Einzelhaft, ki je prodrl na vrhove avstrijskih in nemških lestvic.

Njegov drugi album, Junge Römer (izšel leta 1984), ni dosegel takšnega uspeha kot prvi.

Mednaroden preboj (1985 – 1987)
Zaradi komercialnega neuspeha z albumom Junge Römer je Falco zaključil sodelovanje z Robertom Pongerjem in začel ustvarjati z nizozemskima producentoma, bratoma Robom in Ferdijem Bollandom. Falco je v tem času posnel skladbo Rock Me Amadeus, za katero je dobil navdih v filmu Amadeus režiserja Miloša Formana. Rock Me Amadeus je postala velika mednarodna uspešnica, Falcu je prav tako uspel preboj na vrh lestvice Billboard Hot 100. Njegov tretji album, Falco 3, je prav tako dosegel velik mednaroden uspeh in prišel na tretje mesto na ameriški lestvici Billboard 200. Naslednja singla iz istega albuma, Vienna Calling in Jeanny, sta prav tako postala uspešnici, vendar je skladba Jeanny zaradi kontroverznosti dvignila veliko prahu in nekatere radijske postaje v Nemčiji so jo celo bojkotirale, vendar je Jeanny postala prodajna uspešnica.

Leta 1986 je izšel njegov četrti album, z naslovom Emotional, na katerem se nahajajo pesm The Sound of Musik, Coming Home (Jeanny Part 2, Ein Jahr danach) in Emotional. Po izidu tega albuma se je podal na svetovno turnejo, ki se je začela v Evropi in končala na Japonskem.

Nazadovanje (1988 - 1991)
Po turneji je Falco bil izmučen, tako fizično kot psihično in se je za nekaj časa umaknil iz javnosti. Konec leta 1987 je posnel singl Body Next to Body v duetu z dansko pevko Brigitte Nielsen, vendar ni dosegel večjega uspega. Naslednji album, Wiener Blut, je izšel leta 1988, vendar prav tako ni izpolnil pričakovanj.  Zaradi neuspeha tega albuma je prekinil sodelovanje z bratoma Bolland. Z Robertom Pongerjem, s katerim je že naredil svoja prva albuma, je ustvaril naslednji album, Data de Groove, ki pa prav tako ni bil pretirano uspešen.

Povratek (1992 – 1994)
Jeseni leta 1992 je izšel njegov naslednji album z naslovom Nachtflug, ki se je odrezal bolje od prejšnjega albuma. Singl Titanic, je bil - vsaj v Avstriji - prav tako uspešen.
Po uspehu albuma Nachtflug se je spomladi 1993 podal na turnejo po Evropi. V sklopu turneje je nastopil tudi na dunajskem Donauinselfest, kjer se je na njegovem koncertu zbralo več kot 100 000 poslušalcev.

Menjava sloga (1995–1997)
Z izidom singla Mutter, der Mann mit dem Koks ist da (pod psevdonimom T>>MA) se je leta 1995 podal v bolj techno vode. V letu 1996 se je iz Dunaja preselil v Dominikansko republiko. Poleti 1996 je izdal skladbo Naked, vendar ni bilo pričakovanega uspeha, zato se je Falco odločil preložiti izid svojega novega albuma. Naked je tako postal zadnji singl, ki je izšel za čas njegovega življenja.

Smrt (1998)
6. februarja 1998 je Falco umrl v avtomobilski nesreči na cesti med krajema Villa Montellano in Puerto Plata na Dominikanski republiki. Obdukcija je pokazala da je imel v krvi 1,5 ‰ alkohola in večje količine kokaina ter marihuane.
Falco je pokopan na dunajskem pokopališču Zentralfriedhof.

Zasebno življenje
17. junija 1988 se je poročil z Isabello Vitkovic v Las Vegasu, zakon je bil kratkotrajen, končal se je namreč že naslednje leto. Marca 1986 se jima je rodila hči Katharina Bianca, vendar je test očetovstva jeseni 1993 potrdil, da Falco ni njen biološki oče in to ga je zelo prizadelo.

Try to use it

A: You need to configure your view resolver.

1. first create spring-dispatcher.xml file.
2. Add view resolver configuration in your xml file.
    <beans:property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
    <beans:property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
3. place jsp file in views folder under webapp--> WEB-INF.
4. Now view resolver will find jsp at this path  " /WEB-INF/views/yoursjspname.jsp ".

Thaksin seeks exile in Britain, misses court date
South East Asia correspondent Karen Percy and wire

Thailand's former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra is seeking exile in Britain after failing to report to a Bangkok court this morning.
Thaksin has confirmed he is in Britain as he faces a number of corruption cases.
The former prime minister and his wife Pojaman Shinawatra were due to fly into Bangkok last night, in time for a court appearance this morning.
But the couple did not arrive on their scheduled flight from Beijing where they had attended the Olympics.
This morning they failed to appear at the court which is hearing an abuse of power case against the couple over a land sale in 2003.
Thaksin has faxed a handwritten letter to Thai media outlets apologising to the court.
He wrote that there were people in Thailand who considered him the enemy and were trying to destroy his family.
He said he would not be returning to Thailand to clear his name because he is receiving unfair treatment by the courts.
Mrs Pojaman was found guilty of tax evasion and sentenced to three years in prison 11 days ago.

Q: HTTP error: Bad request in socket programming in C I wrote a basic C program that establishes a connection with the IP address of google.com and then starts receiving data from client.
But firstly, during compilation the following warning is generated:

test.c:12:25: warning: implicit declaration
      of function 'inet_addr' is invalid in
      C99 [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
address.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr("2...
                        ^
1 warning generated.

Secondly, on running the program, the following output is generated:

HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
Referrer-Policy: no-referrer
ContGET/HTTP/1.1

What changes can I make in my code to successfully receive data from an HTTP server ?
#include<stdio.h>
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<netinet/in.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    int mySocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    struct sockaddr_in address;
    address.sin_port = htons(80);
    address.sin_family = AF_INET;
    address.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("216.58.200.196");
    connect(mySocket, (struct sockaddr *)&address, sizeof(address));
    char msg[21] = "GET/HTTP/1.1\r\n\r\n";
    send(mySocket, msg, 21, 0);
    char msgRecv[100];
    recv(mySocket, msgRecv, 100, 0);
    printf("%s", msgRecv);
}

A: Your code has many faults (lack of error handling, misusing send(), recv() and printf(), etc), but the main cause of the HTTP  failure is because your HTTP request is malformed.
If you read the HTTP 1.1 protocol specification, RFC 2616 and its successors RFCs 7230-7235, you will see that you are missing required space characters between GET and /, and between / and HTTP, and that you are also missing a required Host header.
At a bare minimum, your HTTP request needs to look like this instead:
char msg[] = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\n\r\n";

Once you have that working, look at this answer for the kind of logic you will need to implement afterwards to receive the server's response properly (a single call to recv() won't cut it, not even close).


Intrauterine insemination (IUI) is a common assistive reproductive therapy modality that is used to facilitate pregnancy. In the Philippines, IUI is a popular means of insemination performed when attempts using natural methods do not yield successful results.
As with any medical procedure, there may be associated side effects with this form of treatment. Many women experience slight pain during the procedure, and some may even experience mild cramping. However, as compared to other forms of therapy, the procedure is relatively painless, and more serious side effects, such as severe pain, iatrogenic injury and infections are quite rare.
When side effects do occur in the context of intrauterine insemination, they are usually caused by medications administered to induce fertility. These drugs are the hormones that stimulate follicular maturation and ovulation, as well as maintaining and facilitating the pregnancy to carry to term.
At the start of an IUI cycle, fertility drugs are usually prescribed to increase the chances of conception. These medications include follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and chorionic gonadotropin alfa. These are all administered via injection and may be given during days 1-11 of the follicular phase of the patient's menstrual cycle. After ovulation, progesterone may be given to maintain pregnancy until the placenta has developed the ability to produce its own progesterone.
These side effects are usually mild, and often disappear upon cessation of taking the medication. Of course, it is important to notify your doctor if you develop any symptoms during the course of treatment.
The risk of multiple gestation in other words twins, triplets or multiples of a higher order is associated with IUI, and is fairly small, ranging from 10% to 30%. This is a side effect of fertility medications, and not the procedure proper. Multiple pregnancies are usually considered good news, or an unintended yet welcome surprise for couples struggling to get pregnant. It would seem that in the Philippines infertility rates would decrease as a result of this phenomenon. However, multiple pregnancies come with risks, such as birth complications, preterm delivery, low birth weight, developmental problems, and preeclampsia. It is important to discuss the risk of multiple pregnancy with your doctor when you first consult for IUI treatment.

Sleeping Giants, by Sylvain Neuvel
Buy from Amazon.com, B&N, or IndieBound
Author's website | Publisher's website
Publication date – April 26, 2016
Summary: A girl named Rose is riding her new bike near her home in Deadwood, South Dakota, when she falls through the earth. She wakes up at the bottom of a square hole, its walls glowing with intricate carvings. But the firemen who come to save her peer down upon something even stranger: a little girl in the palm of a giant metal hand.
Seventeen years later, the mystery of the bizarre artifact remains unsolved—its origins, architects, and purpose unknown. Its carbon dating defies belief; military reports are redacted; theories are floated, then rejected.
But some can never stop searching for answers.
Rose Franklin is now a highly trained physicist leading a top secret team to crack the hand's code. And along with her colleagues, she is being interviewed by a nameless interrogator whose power and purview are as enigmatic as the provenance of the relic. What's clear is that Rose and her compatriots are on the edge of unraveling history's most perplexing discovery—and figuring out what it portends for humanity. But once the pieces of the puzzle are in place, will the result prove to be an instrument of lasting peace or a weapon of mass destruction?
Review: Sleeping Giants is a book that seems to be getting a load of very positive reviews, especially considering that this is apparently the author's debut novel. It's a shame, then, that I won't be another voice chiming in with that positivity. This is a time when my voice is going to go a bit counter to others, because I really just didn't enjoy Sleeping Giants that much.
I'm going to start out on a positive note and say that I can't deny the premise of the novel is a really interesting one. The hand of what looks like a giant statue is discovered purely by accident as a young girl falls into the hole that reveals it. With that starts something that spans decades, following the discovery of the rest of the statue's pieces, putting them together, and learning just what it's all for in the first place. It comes across as something very much inspired by mech anime, and for those who are fans of such, then I can see that Sleeping Giants would be very appealing. And really, even for people such as myself, for whom mech-heavy anime holds very little appeal, the story and the slow reveals were decently interesting, and I was curious about how it would come together in the end. The statue appears to be older than any human civilization that could have built it, is made to be controlled by people with different physiology than humans possess, and that's even before you bring the fun ramifications of international politics into the mix, since the statue's pieces were scattered all across the planet, requiring often-illegal trips into foreign territory to recover them.
But premise and story alone aren't always enough to carry a novel. As much as I prefer substance over style, there are times when particular styles can get in the way of enjoyment, and this was one of those times for me. The story is unveiled not through typical narration but through a collection of reports with a couple of journal entries thrown in along the way. The reports are mostly interviews and briefings with the team members working on the statue, and the occasional politician. So nearly every single piece of this book is told, essentially, through dialogue. Which, on one hand, may set it up to be a fantastic audiobook experience, but I don't think it worked very well as a written one. The dialogue felt clunky at times, more like how people write rather than how people speak, and rarely did it feel like I was actually reading what people said so much as I was reading a cleaned-up version transcribed by someone who got creative with editing. There were no "um"s and "er"s, no idiosyncrasies of real speech, except when reading the interviews with a character who stutters. So even the representation of speech was inconsistent.
(The stutter issue is one that comes up a lot in books, I find, where authors attempt to convey speech disorders through text only when it's a chronic issue, and rarely doing the same thing when non-stuttering characters fumble words. It has the unfortunate effect of presenting things as normal vs abnormal, notable only in how it divides a character with a speech disorder from other characters who don't, and I've noticed such portrayals talked about as sore spots with people who have trouble communicating verbally. Something to consider, I guess.)
It was, to be fair, a bold and unconventional way to convey the story. Breaking away from standards and expectations, and I do have to give Neuvel credit for taking an unusual approach and experimenting with presentation, but it really just didn't work for me. The style felt too weird for me to properly get at a lot of the substance.
Add to that the fact that it was a slow-moving story to begin with, with a sense of time that's hard to pin down because it spans years and the only way you can tell is because characters literally mention that it's been so many months since something previously mentioned (none of the reports were dated), and you've got a novel that I think can appeal to a particular type of person, but not every type. Even the action sequences felt ponderous and unclear, because I knew I was only reading transcriptions of dialogue spoken during events and not really seeing the events themselves. You have to infer a lot, you never really get clear images of people or places, and it feels very sterile.
And for its part, that does work in context. To expect great emotion and detail with such a format would be like expecting to know a child's feelings on school by reading their report card. It's just unrealistic to expect the same kind of immersion and understanding; the format really just doesn't allow for it. The journal entries written by characters do, but those are few and far between, and mostly only show up in the first half of the book, when the plot really hasn't picked up pace yet.
So between the slow story and my disconnect with the style, I didn't really end up enjoying Sleeping Giants. It dealt with some interesting concepts, and there's enough left unsaid to provide plenty of material for future novels in the series, but that wasn't enough to get me past the problems I had. Those who have an easier time looking past stylistic issues may well get more out of the book than I did, and as I mentioned earlier, I can see it having a great appeal to those who love stories and shows about giant robots. It has a fair bit going for it in terms of creativity, but at the end of the day, it simply isn't for me.

IP ABC—Does a database enjoy copyright protection in Nigeria?
by Legalnaija | Nov 9, 2018 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
My name is Yakubu Jang, an investment advisor and consultant in
Nigeria. I publish a monthly investment e-newsletter The Yaks Investment.
The Yaks Investment publishes up-to-date information on incentives in
Nigeria available to investors. Apart from that, what our subscribers find most
valuable about the newsletter is access to our comprehensive and up-to-date
database of Agrotech & Fintech Businesses and Venture Capitalists in
Nigeria. This database is accessible through a URL link which directs readers
to the page where the database is electronically stored. In over 3 years, this
database has greatly made The Yaks Investment newsletter become well
known amongst both local and international private-equity investors with an eye
on the Nigerian market.
Recently, a new e-newsletter The Ark Investment published by Ark
Investments Nigeria Limited, a Lagos-based investment advisory company, was
launched. Apart from the confusingly similar name it has with The Yak's
Investment, the new newsletter has also been practically "copying and
pasting" our comprehensive and up-to-date Database of Agrotech & Fintech
Businesses and Venture Capitalists in Nigeria in their 'The Ark's List of
Agrotech & Fintech Startups and Venture Capitalists in Nigeria.'
I am unhappy with The Ark Investment's act as it infringes on my copyright in
the database. As the maker of the database, I invested so much resources into
collecting information from various sources and systematically arranging them
in a way readers and users would find invaluable. But when I instructed my
lawyers Bitrus Adamu & Co to write The Ark Investment about this
infringement, the company claimed that they have not infringed on my copyright.
Under Nigeria's copyright law, does a database not enjoy copyright protection?
the Nigerian Copyright Act does not provide for copyright protection of a
database, a database may be protected as a compilation or directory as long as
sufficient effort is expended on it to give it an original character. This
copyright protection extends only to the compilation itself, and not to the
underlying data, facts, or materials in the database. Copyright protection is
irrespective of quality.
What qualifies The Yak's
Investment's Database
of Agrotech & Fintech Businesses and Venture Capitalists in Nigeria as a protectable work under the
Nigerian Copyright Act?
Under copyright law, databases are protected under the concept known as
compilation copyright. Compilation copyrights protect the collection and
assembling of data, facts, or other materials. While some countries or
international treaties specifically recognize compilation copyright and the
extent of protection it enjoys, the Nigerian Copyright Act does not contain
provisions for compilation copyright. Also, 'database' is neither defined nor
referred to in the Act. But in the interpretation section of the Act, section
39 defines a literary work as including, among other works, "encyclopaedias,
dictionaries, directories
and anthologies" and other
works similar thereto. According to the Oxford Dictionary, a
'directory' is "a book or website listing individuals or organizations
alphabetically or thematically with details such as names, addresses, and
telephone numbers". Directories are a kind of compilation. Therefore, by virtue
of section 1(1)(a) of the Nigerian Copyright Act, a database which functions as
a directory is a literary work eligible for copyright protection.
So the general provisions of section 1(1)(b) and section 39 may be interpreted
as protecting a database as long as the data, facts, or materials collected and
arranged as a compilation serve the purpose of a directory or purposes similar
thereto. Section 1(1)(b) makes literary works eligible for copyright
The Yak's Investment's comprehensive and up-to-date 'Database of Agrotech &
Fintech Businesses and Venture Capitalists in Nigeria' is a list compiled by
Yakubu Jang and electronically available to subscribers as a database. This
database is a directory
of agrotech and fintech businesses and venture capitalists to enable
subscribers have access to their names, addresses, and other contact details.
Being a directory, it falls under literary works, thus eligible for protection
under the Act.
Under copyright law,
underlying data is not protected. This is why copyright in the database does
not prevent any person from extracting the unprotected data from it.
A database has been defined as a collection of independent works, data, or
other materials arranged in a systematic or methodical way and individually
accessible by electronic or other means.
A database of unprotectable works such as facts is protected only as a
compilation.
If The Ark Investment has only extracted information from the database such as
names, addresses, and contact details of the agrotech and fintech businesses
featured in the original Database
of Agrotech & Fintech Businesses and Venture Capitalists in Nigeria,
this would not be a violation of copyright law. But The Ark Investment would be
violating copyright if it copied the entire database, as long as the database
meets the statutory requirement of originality.
Since what The Ark
Investment has practically done is copy the entire database, this amounts to
copyright infringement, subject to section 1(2)(a) and (b) of the Act.
A mere collection of data, facts, or materials does not enjoy copyright
protection except there is originality.
Section 1(2) requires that (a) sufficient effort has been expended on making
the work to give it an original character and (b) the work has been fixed in
any definite medium of expression now known or later to be developed, from
which it can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated either
directly or with the aid of any machine or device. Since the database is
electronically stored and accessible on webpage, this is adequate.
Because a database is a collection and assembly of preexisting data, facts, or
materials, how the maker selects and arranges these to create an original work
is what determines whether it enjoys copyright protection. Sufficient effort
must have been expended on the collection and assembly of pre-existing data,
facts, and materials facts; the selection, or arrangement of those materials;
and the creation of the database as an original work of authorship.
How about The Ark
Investment's act of publishing a similar investment newsletter?
Any person has the right to publish a newsletter, whether a similar newsletter
exists or not.
One of the fundamental concepts of copyright law is that copyright does not
protect ideas, information, or facts but instead protects the form in which
those ideas, information, or facts are expressed. This is known as the idea-expression
dichotomy, which means that copyright will not be infringed when works based on
the same ideas are independently created, provided the way in which those ideas
have been expressed is not copied.
Therefore, Yakubu Jang has no copyright in the idea for an investment
What about title and
straplines of the newsletter, including articles on investments?
Names and titles cannot be accorded copyright when they are not substantial
enough to attract copyright in themselves.
Titles and names can be protected as trademarks. If trademarked, you may sue
The Ark Investment for trademark infringement, since The Ark Investment
newsletter sounds confusingly similar to The
Yak Investment. If The
Yak Investment has not been trademarked, you may institute an
action for passing off since The Yak Investment enjoys goodwill and reputation
in Nigeria's investment market. You must however prove that The Yak Investment
really enjoys goodwill and reputation and that The Ark Investment is unduly
benefiting from this goodwill by illegally coming up with a confusingly similar
newsletter, The Ark
Investment newsletter. Therefore, the title of the newsletter will
not attract copyright protection. Also, any strap lines such as 'Invest wisely
with Yaks' or 'Your most reliable investment newsletter', etc will be regarded
as too trivial or little in terms of creative effort to attract copyright. But
the logo, if any, of The
Yaks Investment newsletter may attract copyright protection as an
artistic work.
Apart from the database, analysis and explanations on investment opportunities
published as articles in the newsletter would attract copyright protection as
long as they are original. You or the authors of these articles would have no
doubt exercised a sufficient degree of skill, applied knowledge, or used
judgment in forming opinions by evaluating and comparing the different
investments opportunities in the Nigerian market. Subject to originality, such
articles are protected by copyright.
Therefore, if The Ark Investment also copied any substantial part of these
articles without authorization, this amounts to copyright infringement.
Consult an IP lawyer or law firm to help you determine all the legal options
available to you.

how to understand what does the values of moderation mean?
I am a layperson who just started doing statistic and moderation. I would like to ask how do I understand what does the range of moderation value and the significance from bootstrapping mean?
I tried to google online but couldn't really find the explanation like moderation of 0.05 means what and its significance? How do I know how much is consider big and the range of it?
Would really appreciate if you could illustrate with an example and share with me some references to guide beginners.

Global Fashion Agenda welcomes ASOS and PVH Corp. as new Strategic Partners
ASOS,News,PVH
Today, Global Fashion Agenda welcomes ASOS and PVH Corp. to its Strategic Partner group, which is working to set a common agenda and direction for industry collaboration on sustainability in fashion.
Global Fashion Agenda announced today that ASOS and PVH Corp. will join its Strategic Partner circle, a small group of hand-picked industry leaders within sustainability that includes BESTSELLER, H&M group, Kering, Li & Fung, Nike, Sustainable Apparel Coalition and Target. With these new additions the group expands into the e-commerce and premium segments, tapping into another two important parts of the fashion industry. In collaboration with its Strategic Partners, Global Fashion Agenda aims to mobilise the global fashion system and guide and support industry leaders in changing the way we produce, market and consume fashion.
As Strategic Partners, ASOS and PVH will provide expert opinion to shape the sustainability agenda and play an active role in developing Global Fashion Agenda's thought leadership content, ultimately helping to spearhead the fashion industry's journey towards a more sustainable future.
"With the addition of ASOS and PVH, our Strategic Partner group has truly come full circle. We're excited to now have industry-leading representatives from all of the various segments of the fashion industry, including luxury, athletic, e-commerce, high street, mass, premium and sourcing markets. As one of the largest apparel companies in the world, with iconic brands that include CALVIN KLEIN and TOMMY HILFIGER, PVH has been setting trends for decades, influencing consumer behaviour and embedding sustainability into its business practices. And as one of the most visited fashion destinations in the world, ASOS has great influence by supporting its own and third-party brands in implementing sustainable practices, and as a retailer engaging twenty-something consumers in sustainable matters," explained Eva Kruse, CEO and President of Global Fashion Agenda.
ASOS is committed to transforming the impact fashion has on people, animals and the environment. With its long-established Fashion with Integrity programme, ASOS takes a transparent, responsible and inclusive approach to doing business.
In the last twelve months alone it has made commitments to ban the sale of mohair, silk, cashmere and feathers; hosted modern slavery conferences with UK and international stakeholders; implemented a third-party brands programme on ways to address ethical trade and sustainability issues; designed the official outfits for Britain's Paralympic team, joined the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Roadmap to Zero Programme; and, as part of its 2020 Circular Fashion System Commitment, partnered with the London College of Fashion's Centre for Sustainable Fashion on a circular design course for its entire design staff.
Nick Beighton, CEO of ASOS said, "We're very pleased to be joining Global Fashion Agenda's Strategic Partner group and excited about the opportunity it presents. It's only by working together that we'll be able to learn, share and use our collective influence to deliver meaningful and lasting change in the way our industry addresses key sustainability issues."
With its corporate responsibility strategy, PVH addresses pressing global issues and works towards sustainable growth to deliver value to all stakeholders. In 1991 PVH was one of the first companies to adopt a code of conduct on human rights and the environment. For nearly three decades, PVH has continued to expand its efforts to improve human rights and its environmental impact across the value chain. The company's comprehensive programme has ambitious clean-water and renewable-energy goals and seeks to mitigate the negative effects of chemicals and carbon emissions. PVH also recognises its responsibility and the opportunity it has to positively affect the communities where it does business and the people who live there, emphasising health and education initiatives, inclusion, diversity and worker's rights.
Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and CEO of PVH Corp. said, "Addressing the challenges facing the fashion industry today requires going beyond the influence of any one organisation. Partnership is critical to achieving true transformation at scale. We are excited to be part of the Global Fashion Agenda Strategic Partner group, as PVH is eager and open to working with others who share our goal to drive fashion forward for good."

It's turning out to be another long, losing season for the Giants
The Yankees' season is over and the Giants certainly aren't going to carry me through the holidays. That means the Rangers, who have lost five straight since back-to-back wins to open the season, are going to have to pick up the slack of the Giants yet again to make the winter less miserable. It's not exactly a great position to be in as a sports fan.
Things could be worse. There are plenty of fans who don't have the luxury of being a fan of the most successful franchise in the history of professional sports, and who have losers across the board in all of the major sports. Thankfully, I have the Yankees because with the Rangers in the middle of a rebuild, though one with a lot of promise, it's still a rebuild, and with the Giants looking like they are several years away from competing, let alone contending, the Yankees at least provide winning regular seasons and lengthy postseasons even when they fall short of a championship.
The Giants are headed for another losing season and what will be their sixth in the last seven years. They're most likely a five-win team for the second straight year and headed for a Top 6 pick in the draft for a third straight year. Forget trying to reach the postseason this year, changing the losing culture that has grown on this franchise over the last seven years should be the goal. And the only way that goal can be achieved is by Daniel Jones getting game experience, the young defense showing progress and Pat Shurmur not being the head coach after this season. That's all that's left in this Giants season. Unfortunately, it's going to be a long, uneventful, meaningless final two-plus months of the season once again.
(Home team in caps)
MINNESOTA -16.5 over Washington
You're never supposed to take the side of needing to cover a three-score game in the NFL. But I think that old rule goes out the window when you're dealing with some of the teams we're dealing with in 2019 like these Redskins and the Dolphins. Maybe the Vikings don't go cover and I start the week with a loss. I'd rather accept that than taking the Redskins only to see them have trouble moving the ball over the 50 once again.
LOS ANGELES RAMS -13 over Cincinnati
Last week I wrote: What's the best cure for a three-game losing streak? A game against the Falcons. It was indeed the best cure for the Rams' rough patch. The Rams won by 27 points on the road to get back in the win column for the first time since Week 3 and now they welcome a winless Bengals team before their bye week. This one is going to get out of hand.
ATLANTA +6.5 over Seattle
I don't believe in these Seahawks and I certainly don't trust them. Sure, I trust the Falcons even less than the Seahawks and less than any team not from Miami, Washington D.C. or Cincinnati, but with the Falcons on the brink of tearing their entire franchise apart and starting over, I feel like they will finally deliver an adequate performance. If they can't … start the demolition, and start it with Dan Quinn, even if it's nearly three years late.
BUFFALO -1.5 over Philadelphia
The Eagles suck. Congratulations, they overcame an early 17-point deficit to beat the Redskins in Week 1, beat the Jets with their third-string quarterback and somehow pulled off a win on the road against the Packers. Their losses, a loss in Atlanta, which is the Falcons' only win, a loss at home to the Lions, an 18-point rout at the hands of the Vikings and an embarrassing 37-10 blowout in Dallas far outweigh their one good win, and while they might make the playoffs because they play in the worst division in the league, it doesn't change the fact that they suck, and teams that suck generally lose to good teams.
LOS ANGELES CHARGERS -3.5 over Chicago
Like the Eagles, the Bears suck. Two franchises who went into the season with Super Bowl aspirations couldn't be farther from looking like contenders as we near the halfway point. I don't know what it will take for the Bears to realize Mitch Trubisky isn't a starting quarterback, but unfortunately, it's most likely going to take a mediocre season and a free-agent signing or trade. The Bears' defense might be the best in football, but when it's on the field for the majority of games, only getting a break on the Bears' three-and-outs, it won't be able to sustain its performance all season.
DETROIT -6.5 over New York Giants
I'm done picking the Giants to cover for the rest of the season aside from their games against the Dolphins and Redskins. What I watched last week was the worst Giants performance of the Pat Shurmur era and one of the worst I have seen in my life, and when you lose as much as the Giants have in recent years, that's saying something. This team will continue to lose as long as Shurmur is head coach and against the league's better teams, like the Lions, they will lose big.
New York Jets +6.5 over JACKSONVILLE
The Jets are a joke. J-O-K-E, JOKE, JOKE, JOKE! I thought they could cover against the Patriots last week, keep the score close and possibly even pull off an upset win. What a fool I was. Sam Darnold played what better be the worst game of his career as he completed just 11 of 32 passes for 86 yards with four interceptions and one lost fumble in the 33-0 loss and the Jets never had a chance. For as bad as the Jets were last week, I still think they will rebound, go on a run and reel their fans back in. If they can upset the Jaguars, they have the Dolphins, Giants, Redskins, Raiders, Bengals and Dolphins again to follow. The Jets will be part of the postseason picture at the beginning of December. Then they will inevitably let their fans down again.
NEW ORLEANS -10.5 over Arizona
The Saints are 5-0 with Teddy Bridgewater as their starting quarterback. 5-0! And that's not an empty 5-0, that's five wins against the Seahawks, Cowboys, Buccaneers, Jaguars and Bears. There's been no cupcake games against the Giants, Redskins, Bengals or Dolphins. Bridgewater continues to add to his future earnings when he gets a chance to be full-time starter in the league and the Saints continue to let Drew Brees sit out and get completely healthy for the second half of the season. A Saints-Patriots Super Bowl is going to happen.
Tampa Bay +2.5 over TENNESSEE
A Ryan Tannehill-led Titans team pulled off a nice home win against the Chargers last week after the Chargers couldn't get into the end zone in the final minute from the 1. Even with the Titans' defense being as good as it is, the Titans are still starting Tannehill. One miracle win isn't going to rewrite his career.
INDIANAPOLIS -5.5 over Denver
I have been a Colts believer all season. I still have no idea what happened at home against the Raiders in Week 4, but I'm going to count that as an anomaly and just a weird game in a league built on weird games. Since that unacceptable loss, the Colts have gone on to win at Arrowhead, where no team wins, and beat the Texans at home by a touchdown. The Colts are for real. Not "for real" as in they can win the AFC since the Patriots are going to win the AFC, but "for real" as in they can reach the playoffs for a second straight year even though their franchise quarterback retired and then lose in the first or second round.
Carolina +5.5 over SAN FRANCISCO
I'm a Kyle Allen fan because I love quarterback controversies and I especially love a quarterback controversy that leads to Cam Newton not being a starting quarterback. Newton can sit out as long as he wants and the Panthers can keep his injury status unclear for as long as they want, but everyone knows it's only a stalling tactic, so that their once-franchise quarterback isn't benched even though he deserves to be.
NEW ENGLAND -12.5 over Cleveland
I'm sure the Browns think they were able to tread water at 2-4 prior to their bye week and now that they're well rested they can go on a run and live up to the hype that was wrongfully created for them prior to the season. The only problem with that is you never want to come out of your bye needing to desperately win a game and have to go to New England to do so. The Browns will be 2-5 after Sunday and then have to go to Denver and then play the Bills. Their season is over.
Oakland +7 over HOUSTON
I can't believe I'm picking the Raiders to cover. But in a battle of teams, and mostly coaches, who can't be trusted, taking a touchdown with a team coming out of their bye is the smart thing to do.
Green Bay -3.5 over KANSAS CITY
If Patrick Mahomes were playing, this game would be a lot more interesting and give people a reason to stay up for Sunday Night Football and be tired for work on Monday morning. Unfortunately, he's not.
PITTSBURGH -13.5 over Miami
I won't be picking the Dolphins to cover for the rest of this season. Well, maybe against the Giants in Week 15, but that's it.
Last week: 8-6-0
Season: 50-55-1

On Sunday we brought the kids to Fremont so they could attend the Grandpa/Granddaughter (daddy/daughter) dance at Camp Newaygo. We kept this a secret from the girls who were totally surprised to get their first wrist corsages and told they were going somewhere special with Papa O'Brien. Once they pulled into the Camp Newaygo drive way they knew exactly where their final destination was! They danced, had cookies and got manicures. It was a well attended and fun event! Thanks Camp Newaygo!

From here the Monkeyswimmers concept was born and the development of a unique patented layered armband made from non-toxic foam was created.
One of the safest water confidence products developed MonkeySwimmers exceeds British, European and Australian swim safety standards. With its layered design the armbands are comfortable and allow movement of arms more freely in the water assisting children to develop their swimming capability more competently.
Following the inception of MonkeySwimmers we have focused our efforts on developing and manufacturing innovative swimming products under our Monkey brand, creating new innovative products helping children to learn to swim in safe and fun way.

"Skylarks" Demonstration Team
The US Army Air Corpe's 'Skylarks" demonstration team formed in 1935. Flying the P-12 under the instruction of Captain Claire Chennault. Based at Maxwell Field, Alabama. In September 1937 the Skylarks performed at the National Air Races. The pilots were Capt. Charles D. McAllister, leader, Lt. Wilbur W. Aring, Lt. Carl D. Storrie and Lt. Clayton E. Hughes. The team disbanded at the end of 1937 due to the reassignment of personnel.
Boeing F4B/P-12
The Boeing F4B is an American single radial engined biplane fighter. It first flew in June 1928 and entered service in 1929 with the US Navy's VB-1B Red Rippers. Developed to replace the Grumman F3B and Boeing F2B in service with US Navy and US Marine Corps. The F4B / P12 used the Wasp engine of the F3B but had better performance due to its smaller size and weight. It was the last wooden-winged biplane fighter produced by Boeing and used by the U.S. military. Later ordered by the US Army Air Corps, designated P-12. The US Navy and US Marine Corps replaced the F4B with the Grumman F2F/F3F series in 1938. The US Army Air Corps replaced the P-12 with the Boeing P-26 in 1934-35.
