AG Sessions' remarks leave questions about ABQ police reform

Comments from U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions last week that he intends to "pull back on" federal oversight of police departments drew mixed reactions from officers and civil rights advocates in Albuquerque, where a police reform agreement between the city and the Justice Department is nearing the midway point of its third year.
Reform proponents told New Mexico In Depth they were troubled by Sessions' remarks, and they are ready to step in to ensure that APD adheres to constitutional policing if the federal government steps away.
The president of the Albuquerque police union, meanwhile, said officers were pleased with the tone of support from the attorney general. The rank and file hope his comments could signal a softening of what they see as the agreement's more onerous requirements. So far, though, the agreement and its effect on APD personnel have continued unabated since Donald Trump took office on Jan. 20.
This piece originally appeared at New Mexico In Depth and is republished here with permission.
But police officers and civil rights leaders in Albuquerque all agreed on one point: undoing the reform process here would be far more difficult than in cities such as Chicago and Baltimore, where the DOJ has completed investigations of the police but not yet filed anything in court.
That's because in Albuquerque, U.S. District Judge Robert Brack oversees the reform effort and has signaled a commitment to its completion. Moreover, significant machinery has been built in support of federally mandated change at APD — including around the department's policy making and training, and in the time and financial commitment of the Justice Department both here and in Washington, D.C.
Mayor Richard Berry signed a settlement agreement in late 2014 with the DOJ after investigators found a "culture of aggression" among city police and a leadership structure that for years ignored it. The result was one of the nation's highest rates of police shootings. The mandated changes are aimed at decreasing officer use of force by integrating de-escalation techniques and increased accountability when police go too far.
The Berry administration has had an uneven record on compliance. While city officials have met some deadlines, they also have pushed back on James Ginger, the court-appointed monitor supervising the effort, for criticizing APD's commitment to change in his reports to Brack. And the city has repeatedly frozen a citizen police watchdog group out of the process.

Police Chief Gorden Eden, however, said in an emailed statement that the reforms have improved training and accountability at APD. "I have maintained that regardless of what/if any changes may occur on the national level, APD is committed to our reform efforts and the successful implementation our settlement agreement," the chief's email said.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque, which has played a substantial role in the reform process at New Mexico's largest law enforcement agency, did not respond to requests for comment on Sessions' remarks or their possible ramifications.
Sessions has never been shy about his disdain for Justice Department-mandated reforms in troubled local police departments. As a senator from Alabama and, later, as a campaign surrogate for Trump, Sessions described court-enforced changes to states' criminal justice systems as "an end run around the democratic process" — plain examples of federal overreach.
As the newly minted attorney general, Sessions now leads the Justice Department and is responsible for enforcing federal law. That includes the one passed in 1994 that allows federal officials to investigate police departments suspected of widespread civil rights violations and force them to change through legal action.
So his comments last week about law enforcement carried new significance. Speaking to the National Association of Attorneys General in his first speech as AG, Sessions made a reference to the Obama administration's vigorous push for police reform around the country: "We need, so far as we can, in my view, help police departments get better, not diminish their effectiveness," he said. "And I'm afraid we've done some of that. So we're going to try to pull back on this, and I don't think it's wrong or mean or insensitive to civil rights or human rights."
Since Election Day, police reform proponents here have been discussing what might become of the city's agreement with DOJ and what to do if it falters, Peter Simonson, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, told NMID.
"We were already deeply concerned that DOJ would weaken its prosecution of the case, or even walk away from it entirely," Simonson said. "The statement from Sessions raised my level of alarm that much further."
So far, there have been no indications that the Justice Department is backing away. Simonson said the ACLU and other groups are watching for three "canaries in the coal mine:" less openness and outreach toward community groups from DOJ, a slowdown by Justice Department lawyers in filing court motions to keep the city on track and a reduction in federal staff working on the case in Albuquerque.
Short of filing a motion in court to dismiss the settlement agreement, DOJ "could all but withdraw from the case more quietly, relieve the pressure from the city to comply, and the effort would fall apart," he said.
If that happened, Simonson said, the ACLU and others would file motions to intervene in the case — essentially an effort to take over the role of the DOJ. Judge Brack denied a similar motion from the ACLU weeks after the settlement agreement was signed, but he left open the possibility of reconsidering.
"That was in the context of of the U.S. Attorney's Office and the DOJ expressing their clear intention to be the representative of the community," Simonson said. "If that intention demonstrably weakens, and the community and the judge lose faith in reform, that presents an opportunity to step into the vacuum."
Shaun Willoughby, president of the Albuquerque Police Officers' Association, said that seems unlikely. Officers, union leaders and police brass have continued with a dizzying schedule of meetings on policy, training and compliance — all driven by the DOJ settlement — since Trump took office.
"There are attorneys all over the place around here," Willoughby said. "As far as the reform process goes, it is business as usual in the city of Albuquerque. I haven't seen any indication that anything is changing."
The reforms have been burdensome, he said, sometimes leading to officers hesitating in dangerous situations rather than using force and facing potential discipline. Further, Willoughby lamented that the Justice Department's mandated changes have meant there are more detectives assigned to investigate uses of force — which happen in less than 1 percent of officers' calls for service — than to solving violent crimes in a city that saw its highest number of murders in 20 years in 2016.
"I don't want the community to think APD officers and the APOA aren't committed to reform," he said. "We understand that officers need to be held accountable. But are there things about the agreement we'd like to see changed? Absolutely. Take the minimum use of force standard in (the agreement). It's a totally unrealistic, non-legal standard we've had to build into our policies."
Still, Willoughby doesn't see a retreat from the reforms on the horizon.
"I think officers are happy, even elated to have someone speak words of support like that," he said, referring to Sessions' remarks last week. "It's been a long time since we've heard words of support at that level. But how and whether that translates on the ground remains to be seen."

To all visitors to this blog who have enjoyed the poems posted here together with my comments.
Here is a poem by Ogden Nash, which is very tongue-in-cheek, mockingly protesting about the pervasiveness of simile and metaphor in literature in general, and poetry in particular. Wouldn't it be clearer, less confusing and more straightforward to always call a spade a spade. Well, I guess this would satisfy those who see literal meaning everywhere, even in the face of obvious metaphor, but it would sure make reading literature more boring.
Nash takes his title, "Very like a whale", from Shakespeare's Hamlet, (Act 3, Scene 2) when Hamlet is telling Polonius what he sees in the clouds. One of them seems like a whale to Hamlet, and Polonius, humouring him replies, "Very like a whale" – we have t assume that Polonius doesn't get the image at all. But then there is nothing more of this in the poem itself, which instead turns its ironic attention to Lord Byron's poem "The Destruction of Sennacherib" in which the first two lines read "The Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold, And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold".
go out of their way to say that it is like something else.
That that Assyrian came down like a wolf on the fold?
We'll let it pass as one Assyrian for the sake of brevity.
there are great many things.
and gold cohorts or purple and gold anythings.
mouth and big white teeth and did he say Woof Woof?
cohorts about to destroy the Hebrew host.
wolves dressed up in gold and purple ate them.
Nice perspective Mr. Nash – but Byron's poem is pleasing enough to most, and we get what he meant.
Also note the rhyming couplets in Nash's poem – sometimes he has to craft exceedingly long lines to make the rhymes work, and then some of the rhymes are pretty outrageous. The irony is that here he is following Byron, who also wrote his poem in rhyming couplets, some of which were also quite a stretch.
But its all in good fun, so let's enjoy.
Posting this entry on October 15th 2016, I realise that this date corresponds to Isaac de Benserade's birthday (unless some change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar messes up the calculation, as it always seems to with the date of the Russian revolution), and that he would be 404 years old, if he had lived to today. Having said that, he did seem to live a full and prosperous life, dying at the age of 79, after having been a court favourite in France for most of his life because of his poetry, his plays and his ballets.
This sonnet is on the theme of a particular form of disappointment in love – not the pining of a lover whose loved one disdains or rejects him, but a lover who sees his loved one welcoming the attentions of all his rivals, as well as his own. The term of art is "coquette", so effectively resuscitated by Proust in his description of Odette de Crecy, before she became Madame Swann.
Anyway, this coquette's behaviour is making the poet tear his hair out…This is how love transforms into jealousy, which is exactly the narrative progression of the poem.
Etes-vous un butin qu'il faille partager ?
N'avez-vous rien à craindre, et rien à ménager ?
A force de vouloir éternellement plaire ?
Je n'excelle pas moins en l'art d'être jaloux.
ee cummings was the American poet who became famous by not using capital letters or punctuation. Perhaps this was a useful gimmick to get himself established, but it should not distract from the fact that his poems convey a genuinely strong poetic impact, using words well to capture an emotion or a moment in a powerful way. This example is a love poem, and reading it you get a great sense of the poet's condition of being in love and his ability to express his feelings forcefully and directly.
The poem is a celebration of that period in a love affair when a lover is totally consumed by his lover, getting a sense of fulfilment and union which comes with the passion and intensity of a new love, or sometimes with the peace and understanding of a long-lived relationship. The lover's hearts are joined, their every action is only important in the effect it has on the other, and the beauty of the world only impinges on their consciousness as a reflection of the beauty of their feelings for each other. This is the love of Romeo and Juliet, impossible perhaps, almost always fleeting, but the poet captures the feelings of that moment spectacularly.
On October 8th, I posted a recap of the top 10 poets posted on this blog, as adjudicated by the number of hits recorded on those poems, following a similar recap of the top 10 poems, posted on October 6th. Today I am following up by with an updated, expanded and slightly revised top 10, with more details of the postings and the top-ranking poem from each poet listed.
1. Anonymous Spanish romances and ballads: Of course, this is not one poet but these are ballads mostly from the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, with no attributed author. Many of them recount episodes from the border wars between the Castilian Spaniards and the North African Moorish invaders who settled in Spain for over 750 years. You can see these poems posted here on 11/7/2014, 12/1/2014, 1/2/2015, 2/11/2015, 3/22/2015, 5/12/2015, 7/19/2015, and 9/30/2015 (dates in US format, month, day, year). The most popular poem from this group has been the Romance de Abenamar, posted on 5/12/2015.
2. Rosalia de Castro: The late nineteenth century, post-Romantic Galician-Spanish poet, sometimes writing in Castilian Spanish, sometimes in Galician. Her poems have been posted here on 10/23/2014, 11/23/2014, 12/7/2014, 1/17/2015, 3/1/2015, 4/16/2015, 5/29/2015, 7/2/2015 and 9/26/2015. Her most popular poem here has been "Cuando sopla el norte duro", posted on 4/16/2015.
3. WB Yeats: The great Irish poet and statesman from the first half of the nineteenth century. A wonderful poet, combining a great variety of themes with rich and rewarding language. His poems posted here were on the following dates, 10/11/2014, 11/5/2014, 11/27/2014, 1/31/2015, 2/16/2015, 4/10/2015, 6/30/2015, 8/17/2015 and 9/28/2015. His most popular poem of those posted here has been "An Irish airman foresees his death", posted on 11/27/2014.
4. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz: Sor Juana was the last of the great poets of the Spanish Golden Age, although she lived her whole life in Mexico, first at the Viceroy's court and then as a nun. I recommend the great biography written about her by Octavio Paz, called "Sor Juana o las trampas de la fe". Her poems have been posted here on 10/6/2014, 11/9/2014, 12/22/2014, 1/8/2015, 2/9/2015, 3/27/2015, 5/26/2015, 7/25/2015 and 9/17/2015. Her most popular poem posted here has been "Verde embeleso de la vida humana", posted on 10/6/2014.
5. Pierre de Ronsard: The French poet of the mid to late 1500s, along with Joachim du Bellay he was credited with reviving French poetry and giving it a real identity different from the influence of the Italian poets. I find his poems to be beautiful, touching and poignant, whether they be about nature, love or his own aging. His poems have been posted here on 10/4/2014, 11/6/2014, 11/22/2014, 12/5/2014, 1/7/2015, 2/18/2015, 4/9/2015, 5/23/2015, 7/16/2015 and 9/25/2015. His most popular poem posted here has been "A la Fontaine Bellerie", posted here on 11/22/2014.
6. Gerard de Nerval: The mid nineteenth century French romantic, famous for his flamboyance, such as taking his pet lobster for walks on a leash. His poems are a mix of the portentous/pretentious and simpler more lyrical pieces. His poems have been posted here on 10/21/2014, 11/20/2014, 1/3/2015, 2/1/2015, 3/2/2015, 4/17/2015, 5/17/2015, 7/24/2015 and 9/29/2015. His most popular poem posted here has been "El desdichado", posted here on 10/21/2014. Despite the title, it is written in French.
7. Antonio Machado: From the first half of the twentieth century, this Spanish master is well known as the poet of Castille, although he was actually born in Andalusia and refers back to his origins quite often in his poems. His poems have been published here on 10/19/2014, 11/4/2014, 11/28/2014, 12/31/2014, 1/30/2015, 4/5/2015, 5/24/2015, 6/8/2015, 8/8/2015 and 9/22/2015. His most popular poem has been "A un olmo seco", posted on 12/31/2014.
8. Paul Verlaine: The late nineteenth and early twentieth century is generally well known for being the older lover of teenage poet Arthur Rimbaud, but he was of course a very fine poet himself, and much more prolific. His poems have been published here on 12/2/2014, 1/5/2015, 2/27/2015, 3/29/2015, 5/19/2015, 7/20/2015, and 9/20/2015. His most popular poem posted here is " Mon reve familier", posted on 12/2/2014.
9. Charles Baudelaire: The mid nineteenth century French romantic poet is in my view one of the finest poets of any time and any tradition. His poems have been posted here on 10/8/2014. 10/29/2014, 11/15/2014, 12/11/2014, 1/29/2015, 3/3/2015, 4/14/2015, 5/10/2015, 7/1/2015 and 9/21/2015. His most popular poem posted here has been "Harmonie du Soir", posted on 1/29/2015.
10. Francisco de Quevedo: One of the great Spanish Golden Age poets of the sixteenth century, mixing satire, social commentary along with the more conventional themes of love and nature. His poems have been posted here on 11/21/2014, 12/4/2014, 1/4/2015, 2/15/2015, 3/19/2015, 4/25/2015, 6/17/2015, 8/22/2015 and 9/27/2015. His most popular poem published here has been "Definicion del amor", posted on 1/4/2015.
Here is another recap from the posts on this blog from September 2014 to September 2015, when I met my objective of posting a poem every day, mainly from my own collection and personal tastes.I have featured a variety of poets, from either the English/American, French or Hispanic cultures. They span from the 9th century to the 20th. There has been one king (Richard 1 of England); one President (Leopold Senghor of Senegal); several soldier-poets (Charles d'Orleans, Boscan, Garcilaso, Sassoon, Apollinaire, John Cornford); at least one criminal (Francois Villon) and two saints (San Juan de la Cruz and Santa Teresa de Avila); and of course a great assortment of other poets of diverse backgrounds and styles.
A couple of days ago I posted a recap of the top 12 poems, in terms of the number of hits they have received (assuming that is some measure of their popularity). So now I will similarly post the top 12 poets, assessed by the number of hits they received for all their poems featured here. Again, make of it what you will. I found it interesting.
1.Anonymous Spanish ballads – of course, this is not one poet, but a series of poems from the oral and written tradition of Spain from the 13th to the 15th centuries, many of which deal with events and personalities from the long conflict between Moorish Spain and Christian Spain, a conflict which lasted almost 800 years. These are fascinating poems, and I could easily have featured many more of them.
2. Pierre de Ronsard – the French poet of nature and contemplation from the 16th century, his poems are delicate, gently joyful and wonderfully well-written. A real pleasure to read.
=3. WB Yeats – the great Irish poet from early in the 20th century, covering many themes of love, war, nature and humanity.
7. TS Eliot – brilliant, poignant, funny and versatile, I always find something fresh and interesting in Eliot's work. I also like the fact that he could easily switch from writing in English to French.
9. Paul Verlaine – often known as being the older lover of the teenage prodigy Arthur Rimbaud, Verlaine was actually a much more serious poet, and well worth exploring his work, of which I have two volumes on my bookshelf.
10. Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz – from Mexico, a female poet from the seventeenth century, probably the last great poet in Spanish from the Golden Age, one of the essentials.
=11. Francisco de Quevedo – From the height of the Spanish Golden Age, dealing with love, politics, satire, money, power – one of the true greats.
=11. Siegfried Sassoon – mainly represented here as a First World War poet, of which he was one of the leading exponents, using poetry to expose the folly and suffering of that war and the terrible fate of the ordinary soldiers. Although of its time, his poetry has resonance wherever there is war and conflict.
Perhaps this will inspire readers to go back and revisit some of the poems by these or other poets.
This first world war poem is Sassoon's contribution to the "lions led by donkeys" theory of World War 1 leadership, under which the poet himself sufferred as an infantry captain in France. Poignant.
Verlaine describing his dream woman, a fantasy, and why not?
Another World War 1 poem from Yeats, mixing fatalism, nostalgia and patriotism in a heady and poignant mix.
Older man likes watching the young ladies walk in the park on Sunday.
Maybe this is prose rather than poetry, but Thomas's language is always poetic. A wonderful description of Christmasses past.
Ronsard's beautiful celebration of the countryside in the region of his birth around the Loire valley, a great description of the beauties of nature.
Another great nature poem from Ronsard. Enjoy.
In the next day or so I will recap the top poets featured on this blog.

Humble man arrested for forgery, linked to New Year's Day robbery
Matthew Trana
Jan. 15, 2003 Updated: Oct. 5, 2016 10:59 a.m.
Michael Ford, 30, was charged with forgery and placed in the Harris County Jail.
The incident occurred at a local check cashing business in the 19000 block of U.S. Highway 59 in Humble at about 3 p.m.
Shiflet said Ford was trying to cash a check that was stolen from a 55-year-old Huffman woman two days earlier.
On Wednesday, Jan. 1, the woman was robbed in the parking lot of Kroger, located at 19250 West Lake Houston Parkway in Atascocita, at about 10 p.m.
"The suspect approached the woman and said he needed money for gas," said Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Ron Hickman's Assistant Chief Deputy L.E. Shiflet. "He then grabbed her purse and ran away."
Shiflet said Ford didn't confess to robbing the woman.
"Other suspects have been identified, and arrests are pending," said Shiflet. "The case is still under investigation."
Deputy D. Mayes arrested Ford on Jan. 3, and Deputy W. Rose was dispatched to Kroger on Jan. 1. Shiflet said the woman wasn't injured in the robbery.

Q: Is there a bcrypt implementation available for Delphi? I'm trying to find a bcrypt implementation I can use in Delphi.  About the only useful thing that Googling brings me is this download page, containing translated headers for a winapi unit called bcrypt.h.  But when I look at the functionality it provides, bcrypt.h doesn't appear to actually contain any way to use the Blowfish algorithm to hash passwords!
I've found a few bcrypt implementations in C that I could build a DLL from and link to, except they seem to all require *nix or be GCC-specific, so that won't work either!
This is sorta driving me up the wall.  I'd think that it would be easy to find an implementation, but that doesn't seem to be the case at all.  Does anyone know where I could get one?

A: Okay, so i wrote it.
Usage:
hash: string;
hash := TBCrypt.HashPassword('mypassword01');

returns something like:
$2a$10$Ro0CUfOqk6cXEKf3dyaM7OhSCvnwM9s4wIX9JeLapehKK5YdLxKcm

The useful thing about this (OpenBSD) style password hash is:

*

*that it identifies the algorithm (2a = bcrypt)

*the salt is automatically created for you, and shipped with the hash (Ro0CUfOqk6cXEKf3dyaM7O)

*the cost factor parameter is also carried with the hash (10).

To check a password is correct:
isValidPassword: Boolean;
isValidPassword := TBCrypt.CheckPassword('mypassword1', hash);

BCrypt uses a cost factor, which determines how many iterations the key setup will go though. The higher the cost, the more expensive it is to compute the hash. The constant BCRYPT_COST contains the default cost:
const
   BCRYPT_COST = 10; //cost determintes the number of rounds. 10 = 2^10 rounds (1024)

In this case a cost of 10 means the key will be expanded and salted 210=1,024 rounds. This is the commonly used cost factor at this point in time (early 21st century).
It is also interesting to note that, for no known reason, OpenBSD hashed passwords are converted to a Base-64 variant that is different from the Base64 used by everyone else on the planet. So TBCrypt contains a custom base-64 encoder and decoder.
It's also useful to note that the hash algorithm version 2a is used to mean:

*

*bcrypt

*include the password's null terminator in the hashed data

*unicode strings are UTF-8 encoded

So that is why the HashPassword and CheckPassword functions take a WideString (aka UnicodeString), and internally convert them to UTF-8. If you're running this on a version of Delphi where UnicodeString is a reserved word, then simply define out:
type
   UnicodeString = WideString;

i, as David Heffernan knows, don't own Delphi XE 2. i added the UnicodeString alias, but didn't include compilers.inc and define away UnicodeString (since i don't know the define name, nor could i test it). What do you want from free code?
The code comprises of two units:

*

*Bcrypt.pas (which i wrote, with embedded DUnit tests)

*Blowfish.pas (which Dave Barton wrote, which i adapted, extended, fixed some bugs and added DUnit tests to).

Where on the intertubes can i put some code where it can live in perpetuity?
Update 1/1/2015: It was placed onto GitHub some time ago: BCrypt for Delphi.
Bonus 4/16/2015: There is now Scrypt for Delphi

Supporting the Girls →
Posted on January 18, 2019 by dgsweet
For the past few decades, I've been writing a column for Dramatics, a magazine published by the Educational Theatre Association for thousands of theater-mad high school kids around the country. Mostly I've covered topics related to the theater scene in New York, though occasionally I've posted from Chicago and Stratford, ONT. It's been a happy gig and I will continue there as long as I am welcome and can do the job to my standards.
But the magazine's publishing schedule is such that I only have space to cover a fraction of what I see. So I'm launching this blog. In it I hope to discuss more of the plays I see, but also to deal with other forms — movies, TV shows, audio productions, and books. Since I am not obligated here to meet specific deadlines, the posts will happen when the spirit moves me.
The other night, for the first time since it was released, I watched The Americanization of Emily, a 1964 film directed by Arthur Hiller, written by Paddy Chayefsky, apparently vaguely based on a novel by William Bradford Huie. James Garner plays a man who procures the good things for an admiral he serves in London during WWII. Having nearly gotten himself killed during action in the South Pacific, he is happy to have his dubious talents secure him a relatively safe place. He falls in love with a woman assigned to be his driver, played by Julie Andrews. One of the reasons she's attracted to him is because he is tired of seeing the men she's given her heart to leave her bed to die. A complication arises when the admiral (played by Melvyn Douglas) assigns Garner a P.R. project to glorify the navy — a cooked-up documentary that will glorify the first naval man to die on D-Day. He's assigned this before D-Day, so Garner is supposed to ship out to witness this death, which, of course would put him in harm's way. After all, if he's close enough to film the first casualty, he'll be close enough to be the first casualty. The thing is — the admiral has gone bonkers. The whole project is the dream of a man who has slipped into lunacy, but, because he has the authority of rank, nobody dares to tell him how nuts the idea is so Garner finds himself on a French beach dodging German bullets. Reportedy both Garner and Andrews thought this was some of their best work, and you can see them relishing the big slabs of word sandwiches Chayefsky has cooked up.
What particularly interests me is the resemblance to Chayefsky's Network (1976). As you may recall, it deals with a news broadcaster named Howard Beale who flips out during a broadcast and starts spouting nonsense. The nonsense begins to get terrific ratings, though, so the network decides to keep him on so it can keep cashing advertisers' checks. I wonder how conscious Chayefsky was that he was recycling the story element of the lunatic whose ravings go without contradiction.
Speaking of Chayefsky, in the recesses of its library, Amazon Prime offers the original 1953 TV version of The Bachelor Party, one of the plays Chayefsky wrote about the frustrations in the lives of ordinary people. Among his other successes in this form were Marty and The Catered Affair. Like Marty and Catered, The Bachelor Party was adapted into a movie. Expanding a work that originally ran less than an hour into a feature-length story, of course, meant coming up with new material. Marty was so successful that it won an Oscar for best picture, with Chayefsky writing the screenplay and the original TV director, Delbert Mann, also directing the film. Chayefsky and Mann teamed again on Bachelor Party, and it's instructive to compare the TV and film versions. The changes aren't mere Hamburger Helper; new characters and incidents appear and the desperation that bubbles under the TV version has more explicit expression in the film. One of the new characters is a would-be bohemian woman encountered in a Greenwich Village bar (which an American audience at the time would peg as a capital of licentiousness). The character is not named but referred to as "The Existentialist." It's a brief role, but Carolyn Jones made such an impression in it, she was nominated for an Oscar.

Can't wait to see how this develops … Lookin' forward to it!


Supreme Court in Ethiopia today ordered four newspaper publishers to pay high fines based on treason charges made in the aftermath of the 2005 election when 13 newspapers were closed by the government, according to Eskinder Nega, General Manager, Serkalem Publishing House.
The court overruled a previous ruling that the publishers have been pardoned by Prime Minister Meles Zenawi in 2007.
Alula Kebede spoke with Eskinder and reported that fines imposed were: Serkalem Publishing House, 120,000 birr; Sisay Publishing House, 100,000 birr; Zekarias Publishing House, 60,000 birr; Fasil Publishing House, 15,000 birr.
Thirteen newspapers were closed down in the immediate aftermath of the post-election riots in 2005. (Click on the links on the side to listen to the report).

Q: How do I get log4cplus to log different levels to a file and stdout? I want to log TRACE messages to a LogFile and INFO messages to stdout.  I also want to limit a particular logger "SomeLogger" to DEBUG.
My log4cplus.properties file is as follows but I am not getting SomeLogger messages to stdout.  Any advise on how to fix this?
### log4cplus.properties
# root logger
log4cplus.rootLogger=TRACE, LogFile, stdout

# specific logger
log4cplus.logger.SomeLogger=DEBUG, LogFile
log4cplus.additivity.SomeLogger=false

# appender that automatically rolls files
log4cplus.appender.LogFile=log4cplus::RollingFileAppender
log4cplus.appender.LogFile.File=/home/ken/logs/log4cplus.log
log4cplus.appender.LogFile.Append=true
log4cplus.appender.LogFile.MaxBackupIndex=9
log4cplus.appender.LogFile.MaxFileSize=50MB
log4cplus.appender.LogFile.layout=log4cplus::PatternLayout
log4cplus.appender.LogFile.layout.ConversionPattern=%D{%H:%M:%S %Q} %-4r %-5p T%T |%c{2}| %M.%L %x - %m %n

# Direct log messages to stdout
log4cplus.appender.stdout=log4cplus::ConsoleAppender
log4cplus.appender.stdout.Target=System.out
log4cplus.appender.stdout.Threshold=INFO
log4cplus.appender.stdout.layout=log4cplus::PatternLayout
log4cplus.appender.stdout.layout.ConversionPattern=%D{%H:%M:%S.%q} %-5p %m%n

A: The line log4cplus.additivity.SomeLogger=false in your configuration means that whatever is logged into SomeLogger is not propagated further up the hierarchy, i.e., the rootLogger.

A: I have now had a chance to revisit this problem and see the solution is to replace
log4cplus.logger.SomeLogger=DEBUG, LogFile

with
log4cplus.logger.SomeLogger=DEBUG, LogFile, stdout

This line along with
log4cplus.rootLogger=TRACE, LogFile, stdout
log4cplus.appender.stdout.Threshold=INFO

will now give me:
(1.1) trace messages in the LogFile...
(1.2) ...while restricting SomeLogger to debug messages in the LogFile, and
(2) info message to the console.

Tenley Blanchard Dining Room, 2018-09-16 03:41:17. For those who are after functionality and durability, you will definitely love hickory dining room furniture. This type of hardwood is the strongest currently available in the market - and that's a fact. The great thing about hickory furniture is that it is functional, and yet good to look at, in a simple and clean kind of way.
Hope Finley Dining Room, 2018-09-19 13:16:42. Creativity, of course, is also a must. You need to have a personal vision of what you want your dining room area to look like at the end of the day. What types of dining furniture are you envisioning for your eating area. Will there be several dining room tables? These are just some of the questions you will need to ask yourself. Once you have a clear picture of what you want to see in the end, and have done all the research you need, half the hard part is out of the way.
Charley Dalton Dining Room, 2018-09-19 22:31:59. Hickory hardwood furniture is a good starting choice for the newbies who are redecorating their dining room area for the first time. It's classic, simple, comfortable, and homey - the perfect ingredients for happy mealtimes with family members and guests. Everyone will surely love using hickory hardwood furniture in their dining areas, making many memorable mealtime moments with a great-looking dining room in the presence of good company.
Louisa Rocha Dining Room, 2018-09-19 18:46:45. You will need to consider your space wisely before hitting the furniture stores. A really great warming accent that is easily added is an area rug. Even in a room that is carpeted, an area rug can help accentuate your dining area furniture and tie the whole room together. Use occasional pieces to give your formal dining area a cozier, lived in feel. Ultimately, your dining room should call not just to guests, but to your family to gather daily to share in each other's lives. Buying the right furniture will make the difference. Plus, there is something to be said for that continued rite of passage for children to graduate from the "kids table" to the "big table". Keep the spirit of family dining alive by finding the right dining room furniture to fit your home.
Logan Wright Dining Room, 2018-09-19 17:56:43. At the end of the day, as long as you've done your research in advanced and are confident that you have picked out the right pieces for your dining room area, chances are you will not regret the decisions you have made. Obviously, you will need to adjust some of your pieces over time as you start experimenting with different styling techniques, but that's all in good fun - you learn as you go along, and you will eventually be an expert in knowing what does and does not look good in your dining room area.
Hope Finley Dining Room, 2018-09-19 20:42:20. Choosing the best dining furniture for your home is a wonderful investment that requires creativity, patience, and resourcefulness. After all, a dining room can be used for a variety of functions, and can be used by people other than the family members living inside the house. Therefore, it is imperative that you are able to choose dining room furniture that will stand the test of time, and will fit into any occasion or event that you choose to hold in it - whether it's a dinner party, a business meeting, or an intimate family dinner.


Border immigration and DEA officials now admit that prayer rugs found at the Mexican border were apart of an elaborate prank.
El Paso, TX — President Trump tweeted earlier this week that Islamic prayer rugs were found on, around, and within the US border prompting a massive swell of paranoia throughout the Midwest. The alarm may have been premature, as it seems that a local flea market operating out of El Paso was trying to pull a Yes Men-type of practical joke operating under the name of Hey, Baby Que Paso Flea Market.
The Yes Men are a culture jamming activist duo and network of supporters created by pranksters Jacques Servin and Igor Vamos. They aim to raise awareness about problematic social and political issues, most recently "punking" the entire nation into thinking President Trump has resigned by publishing a fake version of the Washington Post on January 16th, 2019.
The Hey, Baby Que Paso Flea Market didn't exist before this past week, as El Paso's anti-daytime street merchant ordinance blocked all public selling. Recent Senatorial Candidate Beto O'Rourke has made a campaign pledge to revoke this arcane rule. However the fake flea market organizers, angered by Beto's defeat by incumbent Ted Cruz, decided to take matters into their own hands.
According to city officials, several Islamic prayer rugs were transported by "little Mexican boys on bicycles and Vespas." It is unclear if said Mexican boys were in the United States legally. However, further investigation revealed that it was just one young teenage boy from Columbus, Ohio who was visiting relatives in El Paso. Hey Baby organizers paid him $420 to place 4 rugs at the border.
The young Kunze quickly made his way to the Mexican border, which was about 1/2 mile away. Along the way, as instructed, he 'roughed-up' the rugs to make them look worn.
After ICE filed the report, the news flew through conservative social media outlets, and then into President Trump's Twitter feed. The organizers of Hey, Baby Que Paso Flea Market couldn't be happier.
"We are obviously very pleased that our work made it all the way to the President's iPhone," continued Ms. Millbright. "We have several other operations planned in the near future. Stay tuned.

Burnout has many symptoms and is a sign that you have physically, mentally and emotionally depleted your internal resources. I was recently interviewed on Women In Business Radio by the fantastic Sian Murray (Full interview here.) So, I thought I'd discuss some of the main parts here.
(Maslach Inventory self assessment here if you have concerns this might be you.
Also know that this is a normal, human reaction to your body experiencing stress over a prolonged time without you listening to the many action signals you've been sending to yourself, but ignoring them or masking them. Burnout is simply the body saying enough is enough.

New Mondeo announced.
The USA will get it under another name later.
Dan McCosh
the USA will get it under another name later. That's the new Fusion, on the floor at the Detroit auto show. Also coming in a plug-in version that gets 100 mpg.
Peerie Maa
I saw it on the news coverage of the Detroit show. I don't care at all for its looks.
That's always the way with the newest model. Give it a year and you'll not notice, or will think that the 2000 model is real dated.
I saw it on the news coverage of the Detroit show. I don't care at all for its looks. What do you think is good-looking?
That's interesting--there really isn't any other car that remotely resembles the Beetle. The Fusion is in the mainstream of contemporary design trends, which would include the Dart, Honda Accord, Hyundai Elantra, etc.
Nicholas Carey
That's interesting--there really isn't any other car that remotely resembles the Beetle.
I dunno about that. I thing that VW/Porsche/Audi wants to establish a consistent design vocabulary across the three product lines. They're trying to make the new (2012) Beetle
http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2011/04/18/automobiles/wheels-bug2/wheels-bug2-blog480.jpg
look like a lower-cost Audi TT
http://homeautodesign.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/2012-Audi-TT-RS-White-auto-4.jpg
And the TT itself, I think, shares certain design elements with Porsche, like this 2012 Panamera
http://www.lincah.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/2012-Porsche-Panamera-Diesel-Top-Side-588x441.jpg
Ford have definitely tried to get some Aston Martin influence into the front of it.
Might note that the original New Beetle and the new Fusion were done under the direction of Ford's current design chief Mays.
Ford originally called the American Mondeo, the Contour. It's a car that flopped here for no apparent reason (mostly designed by my school friend RPJ). They must have dropped the Contour name.

How did InBev, a Belgian company controlled by Brazilians, take over one of America's most beloved brands after barely a whimper of a fight? Timing, and some unexpected help from powerful members of the Busch dynasty, the very family that had run the company for more than a century.In Dethroning the King, Julie MacIntosh, an award-winning financial journalist who led coverage of the takeover for the Financial Times, details how the drama that unfolded at Anheuser-Busch in 2008 went largely unreported as the world tumbled into a global economic crisis second only to the Great Depression. Today, as the dust settles, questions are being asked about how the "King of Beers" was so easily captured by a foreign corporation, and whether the company's fall mirrors America's dwindling financial and political dominance. In Dethroning the King, MacIntosh:-Discusses how the takeover of Anheuser-Busch will be seen as a defining moment in U.S. business history-Reveals the critical missteps taken by the Busch family and the Anheuser-Busch board-Argues that Anheuser-Busch had a chance to save itself from InBev's clutches, but strong forces behind the scenes forced it to capitulateFrom the very heart of America's heartland to the European continent to Brazil, Dethroning the King is the ultimate corporate caper and a fascinating case study that's both wide-reaching and profound.

Q: Android ListView setOnItemLongClickListener works but setOnItemClickListener does not I wish to have a behaviour x when I click an item and a behaviour y when I push and hold the same item. I seem to be able to do one or the other, but not both.
So I have this Listview lv.
In onCreate I give it
lv.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
            Log.v(TAG, "click position: " + position);
        }
    });

And when I click any item in my listview I get the log.
Say I remove the setOnItemClickListener. And now I add:
lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener() {
        public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,int position, long id) {
            Log.v(TAG, "long click position: " + position);
            return true;
        }
    });

When I do a long click (press and hold for 3s) I get the log. Yay.
But, if I try to use both together, the setOnItemLongClickListener eclipses the setOnItemClickListener. The onItemClick never gets called and only when I do a long click do I get the line logged.
The xml holding the items in the ListView has both:
android:longClickable="true"
android:clickable="true"

What fundamental concept about what I am trying to do did I get wrong?

A: If all else fails you can use onTouch on the listview and use 2 threads to handle long touches and short touches. It becomes alot more of a pain, but this is how i built a dragNdrop listview and swipe to delete listview. I hope that gives you a start in a way to solve this.

A: Ironically, from the xml containing my ListView items I removed the following:
android:longClickable="true"
android:clickable="true"

And now both listeners work as I intended them to!

Update the design of this website & redesign the video section.
Make more Simply Explained videos and record myself more often instead of only showing animations.
Increase the quality of the video (both audio and video).
Did I achieve these goals? Well, sort of... Let's start with the bad: I didn't give this website any love. It hasn't received a redesign and I didn't improve the video section. It's pretty much the same website as in 2017, just with more content. I have been working sporadically on a new design for it, but haven't finished it because I'm not really convinced that it's better. So maybe I should take 2019 to gradually introduce new elements in the current design, instead of wanting to go for a complete redesign.
As for my YouTube channel: I did focus heavily on Simply Explained videos and even renamed my channel from "Savjee" to "Simply Explained - Savjee". For 2019 I'm thinking of dropping the "Savjee" part altogether. Thoughts?
All of these metrics have increased and I couldn't be happier. I'd like to focus a lot on the total watch time and the average time watched because those metrics show that people are really watching a large portion of my videos.
In 2018 I also surpassed the 100,000 subscriber mark. When I started my channel 3 years ago, this seemed like an impossibly large number to reach. But I didn't give up. I created more videos, increased my quality and worked on my skills as a content producer. And above all: I was patient.
A few weeks after reaching this milestone, YouTube sent me the Silver Play Button and it's been hanging proudly in my office. I hope that one day I can extend the collection with a gold button as well. But until then I have to keep working hard and keep my head down. It must be earned!
The majority of all new subscribers came in because of my "How does a blockchain work" video. That video has gotten a lot of attention (both good and bad) and has propelled my channel to new heights.
At first, I took this as a sign that I should make more blockchain/cryptocurrency videos. But that gets boring after a while. So instead of listing to the analytics, I decided to instead make videos about any subject I'd like. That way, the work I put into my YouTube channel remains fun, challenging and not boring.
First of all, I want to keep investing my time in making Simply Explained videos. I'm a curious person and I'm always reading articles and random Wikipedia pages. Being able to take that knowledge, repackage it and make a video about it, is really cool to do!
Secondly, I want to keep working on quality. In 2018 I made a few videos where I record myself talking about a subject and then placing my head on top of some animations. This all sounds easy to do with a green screen, but I didn't have one! This year I'd like to continue to make such videos but with a real green screen, so the quality will be better and it'll be a lot less of a hassle.
And lastly, I want to distance myself a bit from blockchain and cryptocurrency related videos. I do love learning more about these technologies, but I also want to make it clear that Simply Explained is about more than that. For instance: I've been making a few cool IoT devices in my spare time and I'm thinking about showing them off in a series of videos.
Before ending this post I want to thank everyone who watched one of my videos and/or subscribed to my channel. You rock! I wish you all a great 2019 & don't forget: keep learning!

La famille Manesse, en latin Manasses, était une importante famille bourgeoise de Zurich.

Du  au  cette famille fut représentée au sein du conseil municipal de Zurich et donna deux bourgmestres à cette ville où elle a également joué un rôle culturel important. Elle détient, pendant cette période, plusieurs fiefs des abbayes de Fraumünster et d'Einsiedeln ainsi que du Saint-Empire romain germanique.

Plusieurs membres de cette famille furent adoubés chevaliers.

Le Codex Manesse
Son nom reste associé à un des plus célèbres<ref>Ernst Bertram, August Langen, Friedrich von der Leyen, Das Buch deutscher Dichtung, volume 2, 1939, p. 485: "Er hat wahrscheinlich, so wie es Gottfried Keller in seinen Züricher Novellen schildert, im Auftrag des Ratsherrn Manesse in Zürich, die berühmteste Liederhandschrift des deutschen Mittelalters zusammengestellt.". Ainsi que: Iso Camartin	, Die vier Literaturen der Schweiz, 1995, p. 7: "In Zürich entsteht, basierend auf der Sammlung des Ritters und Ratsherrn Rüdiger von Manesse und seines Sohnes Johannes, zwischen 1300 und 1340 die wohl berühmteste und kostbarste Liederhandschrift des Mittelalters, die Manessische..."</ref>  manuscrits poétiques et héraldiques médiévaux, le Codex Manesse, conservé actuellement à l'universite de Heidelberg. Il avait été commandé à un artiste (dont le nom n'est pas connu) par Rüdiger II Manesse le Vieux (né avant 1252 et mort le 5 septembre 1304 à Zurich), conseiller de Zurich de 1252 à 1304, et son fils Jean.

La famille Manesse portait comme armoiries un  « écu de gueules à deux chevaliers combattant l'un étant abattu par l'autre », armes parlantes, le nom Manesse pouvant être interprété comme "mann esser", mangeur d'homme.

Important témoignage sur l'origine de l'héraldique
Né dans un milieu de la bourgeoisie urbaine et commandité par lui le Codex Manesse témoigne ainsi que, contrairement à ce qui est souvent cru, l'héraldique tout autant que la littérature courtoise des Minnesänger s'est autant développé à ses débuts dans la bourgeoisie urbaine que dans la noblesse.

Why Use Facebook Dynamic Ads to Personalize Your Campaigns
Facebook Dynamic Ads automatically and intelligently show relevant products to people who have expressed interest in a product or service on a website, in an app, or elsewhere on the internet. The improved results of serving ads that are relevant to the needs or desires that a shopper has revealed by their previous behavior are significant. Showing people ads for products they are interested in will increase their likelihood to purchase. While Facebook Dynamic Ads may appear similar to standard ads on Facebook they are, indeed, much more useful for advertisers.
Using Facebook Dynamic Ads, advertisers can build an ad template that automatically populates and serves images and other details of products from a catalog. This eliminates the arduous process of creating ads individually for each separate product. Facebook Dynamic Ads use Facebook Pixels or their SDK to determine what ads are to be shown to people who have already exhibited an interest in the seller's products by taking some action on their website.
Dynamic ads are especially useful for advertisers that have multiple products or services to offer their customers. Facebook's legacy multi-product ad serving mechanism, called Carousel Ads, will display up to 10 product images with details. Dynamic ads are, therefore, most applicable for sellers that wish to offer more than 10 products. Unlike Carousel Ads, however, Facebook Dynamic Ads provide the ability to either feature multiple products at once (like Carousel Ads) or feature products relevant to customers in specific stages of the sales funnel using the single image ad format. Thus, unlike Facebook Dynamic Ads, multi-product ads cannot change depending on the audience. Carousel ads display the same ad to all audiences whereas Facebook Dynamic Ads change according to the current sales-funnel stage of the customer.
Dynamic ads allow for the promotion of a wide range of products employing unique creatives without the need to configure each ad individually. This enables a campaign to continually reach people with the right product at the right time. Consumers understand that ads are inevitable. Advertising is useful to their lives, helping them find the best price or fastest delivery for the things they want and need, and enabling platforms for free content. If ads are inevitable, how much better is it to be served ads that are relevant to their needs?
Dynamic ads help sellers reach people with relevant advertisements on all the devices and platforms they use. These ads will display items from the seller's catalog across Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network and Messenger. Because Facebook Dynamic Ads work at a larger scale than most ads, a Business Manager account is needed.
The Facebook catalog is at the heart of Facebook Dynamic Ads. This catalog is a container that holds information about an inventory of products or services, like images, prices, stock levels, and descriptions. Advertisers can create catalogs for products, services, accommodations, home listings, and more. After creating a catalog and adding inventory, advertisers can create ads and connect to shopping channels on Facebook and Instagram to show people items from the catalog.
The Facebook Pixel is the mechanism that allows Facebook Dynamic Ads to work. Facebook uses this piece of code called a Facebook Pixel to track which pages of a website customers have visited (i.e. landing page, product page, or checkout) and, based on its findings, will serve a relevant product to that customer. For example, if a customer browses through a number of health supplements on a seller's website, Facebook Dynamic Ads will then serve up ads for those and related products. If the customer added a specific health supplement to their cart but did not make a purchase, the ad will remind the customer to finalize their purchase featuring that exact product. This useful tool can be used to retarget online or mobile app shoppers to remind them of items they viewed but didn't buy.
More About Facebook Catalogs
The first step in deploying Facebook Dynamic Ads is to upload a catalog (also known as a product feed) of the products or services to be offered. Each product in the catalog has specific attributes that are used to generate ads. These are, namely, a product ID, name, description, landing page URL, image, and availability among many others. Sellers can create one catalog for all items or multiple catalogs to use in different ways. They can also set up a catalog for different languages and countries.
By connecting a product catalog to an Instagram business account, the products in that catalog can be tagged in posts and stories. Shopping on Instagram allows customers to tap on tagged products to see prices and descriptions. They can also shop directly from their feed.
A catalog is a structured data file that holds information about the items in the seller's inventory. Each row in the catalog represents an individual product (unique size/color variant). Each column in the catalog represents product attributes, such as title, description, and image. Dynamic ads product catalogs are managed within Facebook Business Manager. Many marketing departments have already set up a business on Facebook to manage ad campaigns. If so, the catalog may already exist in a nearly complete form. Alternatively, catalogs can be created using Facebook's catalog manager.
Sellers that offer a large number of products or product variations will find Facebook's flexible methods for keeping their catalog updated very helpful. Once the catalog is created a product feed is built to update or replace products in the catalog. Product feeds can be maintained manually or automatically using a set schedule. It is important to keep the product catalog exactly accurate.
In addition to manual or scheduled uploads, Facebook supports live updates of specific product fields using the Catalog Batch API for near real-time updates. This approach is programmatic and mostly used to update stock-related information for fast-selling product items.
More About Pixels or SDK
The Facebook Pixel helps ensure the Facebook Dynamic Ads campaign serves up the right ads to the right audience at the right time. It is a snippet of code that sits on the seller's website and tracks the actions visitors take on the website. It is important to set up the Pixel and ensure it's tracking correctly. If not, Facebook Dynamic Ads will not be served up properly.
Dynamic ads work best if there is a strong feedback loop between the online product catalog and the ads. By installing Facebook Pixel on the site this feedback loop is created. The volume of app installs can be increased by showing relevant ads that drive directly to download. This will require the use of Facebook SDK, not just Pixel.
More About Ad Templates
The final step to setting up Facebook Dynamic Ads is to create a dynamic ad template. This template will be populated with products from the catalog. Choices for the template design include showing all products, only the previously viewed products, or the products that have been placed into the customer's shopping cart. Keywords are used to pull images and product details from the catalog.
Even though Facebook Dynamic Ads pull relevant creatives and details from your catalog, there are additional options for customizing what the ads look like across Facebook, Instagram, and the Audience Network.
As with all ad creation, regardless of the type of delivery, quality imagery is critical to success. Facebook provides all the requisite details for image aspect ratios and resolution. Use these guidelines during the ad template creation process.
Modern sophisticated social media platforms provide exciting technologies to assist advertisers in their attempts to reach their target audience with the right ad at the right time. Consumers also appreciate receiving relevant advertisements over ads that constitute only visual clutter. Facebook's Dynamic Ads represents the best that technology has to offer relative to social media ad placement, conversion, and customer acquisition.
Designed for sellers with many products to offer, Facebook Dynamic Ads using Facebook Pixel code and an eye-catching template will provide a significant upgrade to any marketing campaign not yet taking advantage of these tools.

Emmy Awards: What I Thought
As I've said before, I don't much care for the Emmys. But I do usually watch them. Not this year. Last night, I watched some PBS, and most of the Bears-Steelers game. By the time I switched over to the Emmys, Michael Douglas had predictably won an award for "Behind the Candelabra" (which took eleven Emmys: sheesh) and was making a pretty witty acceptance speech. He told Matt Damon, his costar, that he was splitting the statue with him, one getting the bottom and one the top and he was pretty sure Matt would want the top tee hee. "Modern Family" won Best Comedy (you thought the old voters would go for "Girls"?) and "Breaking Bad," which we're continually told it's the Greatest Thing Evah, won drama.

Web Case Study: Life Safety System from Fire-Lite Brings Ease of Use and Service to Senior Living Facility
The last thing seniors want to worry about is the protection offered by their life safety system, so Paumanack Village in Belleville, Long Island, is installing an easy-to-use Fire-Lite life safety system in its brand new, 100-unit adult living community.
Paumanack Village in Belleville, Long Island.
One of the main reasons seniors opt for adult living communities is the prospect of affordable, convenient, stress-free living. Residents of these communities cherish their independence, but they also love the idea of declaring their independence from mowing the lawn, fixing the plumbing, hiring contractors and dealing with day-to-day home maintenance and repair. The last thing these seniors want to worry about is the protection offered by their life safety system.
That's one of the reasons why Paumanack Village in Belleville, Long Island, is installing an easy-to-use Fire-Lite life safety system in its brand new, 100-unit adult living community.
At Paumanack Village, Dave Warasila of Doych Electric is the contractor responsible for the installation, not only of the life safety system, but also of the intercom; alarm system; all the electric, day and night lighting; on-site generators and more. Dave has been doing these installations in senior living communities for more than seven years, and he is very confident that Fire-Lite is not only the best value for the project, but also makes the most sense from an ease-of-use and safety perspective.
An Easy Choice
"In a complex like this one,"
The MS-9600 is a compact, intelligent addressable fire alarm control panel with a capacity of 318 addressable Fire-Lite devices on one Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). The panel uses surface-mount technology and is designed for not only ease-of-use, but also easy programming and maintenance. Warasila paired the MS-9600 with Fire-Lite's ACC-25/50 audio evacuation system, which features up to 1500 watts of digital audio power for the clearest possible transmissions to people who may be partially hearing-impaired. It also offers the capability for up to 24 separate audio circuits, up to five customizable messages, and full manual paging to allow first responders to provide precise evacuation directions to occupants.
Warasila continued, "We have full confidence in the quality of the Fire-Lite products. All the controls and supplies are made right in Connecticut. They are a great value, but we certainly do not sacrifice quality. You can't sacrifice quality in this business."
Accessing Parts and Increasing Value
The Fire-Lite system not only makes it easy for us to satisfy industry and regional fire codes while meeting the needs of senior residents, but it also makes it much easier for installers, contractors, maintenance and repair people to do their jobs. This is because unlike many other competitive products, the Fire-Lite system is not proprietary.
"With some fire protection companies,"
Flexing Its Versatility
Steve Nadel from Safeguard Security, the security company responsible for performing annual inspections, maintenance, central station monitoring and general service at Paumanack Village and many other senior housing projects all over Long Island, agrees with Dave Warasila's perspective on Fire-Lite systems, to the point where he's standardized Fire-Lite products on many of these sites.

Orange-fleshed, juicily sweet Cantaloupe melon. Glorious alone, or adding perfumed sweetness to a fruit salad or smoothie. But you'd be missing out if you didn't also try its delicate, sun-ripened flesh paired with savoury food like tangy cheese or salty ham.
Cantaloupe melon is also good tossed in salads – especially with piquant accompaniments like feta or black olives.
Before cutting, you can store Cantaloupe melons at room temperature, but after you cut them, they need to be wrapped and put in the fridge.

  @PropertyManagerSources(Array("my.properties"))
  trait MyConfigOwner extends PropertyManagerConfig {
    @Key("my.key")
    def getSomething(): Boolean
}

This is using Owner to manage properties.
I am trying to access the trait within a java class like such:
import com.bah.cr.common.config.MyConfig.MyConfigOwner;

public class MyJavaClass{
  MyConfigOwner config = PropertyManagerConfig Factory.create(MyConfigOwner.class);
}

However, I get the error that MyConfig does not exist.
Thanks in advance.

A: Turns out this works.  My issue was an error in the package of the scala class.
