The NCR Corporation, previously known as National Cash Register, and for a brief period known as AT&T Global Information Solutions, is an American technology company that makes self-service kiosks, point-of-sale terminals, automated teller machines, check processing systems, barcode scanners, and business consumables. They also provide IT maintenance support services. NCR had been based in Dayton, Ohio, starting in 1884, but in June 2009 the company sold most of the Dayton properties and moved its headquarters to the Atlanta metropolitan area in unincorporated Gwinnett County, Georgia, near Duluth.[5][6] In early January 2018, the new NCR Global Headquarters opened in Midtown Atlanta near Technology Square (adjacent to the Georgia Institute of Technology).

NCR was founded in 1884 and acquired by AT&T in 1991. A restructuring of AT&T in 1996 led to NCR's re-establishment January 1,1997 as a separate company and involved the spin-off of Lucent Technologies from AT&T.[citation needed]
NCR, along with Teradata Corporation[7], are the only AT&T spin-off companies that have retained their original name—all the others have either been purchased or renamed following subsequent mergers.[citation needed]

The company began as the National Manufacturing Company of Dayton, Ohio, was established to manufacture and sell the first mechanical cash register invented in 1879 by James Ritty. In 1884, the company and patents were bought by John Henry Patterson and his brother Frank Jefferson Patterson, and the firm was renamed the National Cash Register Company. Patterson formed NCR into one of the first modern American companies by introducing new, aggressive sales methods and business techniques. He established the first sales training school in 1893 and introduced a comprehensive social welfare program for his factory workers.
Other significant figures in the early history of the company were Thomas J. Watson, Sr., Charles F. Kettering and Edward A. Deeds.
Watson—fired by Patterson in 1914—eventually worked his way up to general sales manager. At an uninspiring sales meeting, Watson interrupted, saying The trouble with every one of us is that we don't think enough. We don't get paid for working with our feet — we get paid for working with our heads. Watson then wrote THINK on the easel.[8] Signs with this motto were later erected in NCR factory buildings, sales offices and club rooms during the mid-1890s. "THINK" later became a widely known symbol of IBM, which was created by Watson after he joined the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (CTR).[9]
Kettering designed the first cash register powered by an electric motor in 1906. Within a few years he developed the Class 1000 register which was in production for 40 years, and the O.K. Telephone Credit Authorization system for verifying credit in department stores.[citation needed]
Deeds and Kettering went on to found Dayton Engineering Laboratories Company which later became the Delco Electronics Division of General Motors.
In 1913, the company's market share was dominant and it was successfully prosecuted under the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890. The ruling was appealed and executives avoided at least some of the court's strictures.[10]
American Selling ForceEdit
When John H. Patterson and his brother took over the company, cash registers were expensive ($50 USD) and only about a dozen of "Ritty's Incorruptible Cashier" machines were in use. There was little demand for the expensive device, but Patterson believed the product would sell once shopkeepers understood it would drastically decrease theft by salesclerks. He created a sales team known as the "American Selling Force" which worked on commissions and followed a standard sales script, the "N.C.R. Primer." The philosophy was to sell a business function rather than just a piece of machinery. Sales demonstrations were set up in hotels (away from the distractions of the buyer's business) depicting a store interior complete with real merchandise and real cash. The sale prospect was described as the "P.P." or "Probable Purchaser." Once initial objections were swept aside and the P.P. admitted to internal theft losses, the product was demonstrated along with large business charts and diagrams. The deal was sealed with a 25 cent cigar.[11]
Welfare WorkEdit
NCR undertook extensive welfare work and was referred to as "America's model factory." Some historians have referred to company owner John Patterson as the "father of industrial welfare."[12] The company had its own welfare department and is considered a pioneer in America for this work.[13]
Some of the company's welfare initiatives include safety devices, drinking fountains, baths, lockers, chairs and back support for machine operators, indoor bathrooms and a ventilation system to provide clean air.[14] There were special provisions for women employees including restrooms, shorter work hours, high-back chairs, a women's dining room, and lessons in domestic science.[15]
ExpansionEdit
NCR expanded quickly and became multi-national in 1888. Between 1893 and 1906 it acquired a number of smaller cash register companies.[16]
By 1911 it had sold one million machines and grown to almost 6,000 employees. Combined with rigorous legal attacks, Patterson's methods enabled the company to fight off bankruptcy, buy-out over 80 of its early competitors, and achieve control of 95% of the U.S. market.
In 1912 the company was found guilty of violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. Patterson, Deeds, Watson and 25 other NCR executives and managers were convicted of illegal anti-competitive sales practices and were sentenced to one year of imprisonment. Their convictions were unpopular with the public due to the efforts of Patterson and Watson to help those affected by the Dayton, Ohio floods of 1913, but efforts to have them pardoned by President Woodrow Wilson were unsuccessful. However, their convictions were overturned on appeal in 1915 on the grounds that important defense evidence should have been admitted.

Two million units were sold by 1922, the year John Patterson died. In 1925, NCR went public with an issue of $55 million in stock, at that time the largest public offering in United States history. During the first World War, NCR manufactured fuses and aircraft instrumentation, and during World War II built aero-engines, bomb sights and code-breaking machines, including the American bombe designed by Joseph Desch.
Post-warEdit
NCR 304 Computer
Building on its wartime experience with secret communication systems, high speed counters and cryptanalytic equipment,[17] NCR became a major post-war force in developing new computing and communications technology.
In 1953 chemists Barrett K. Green and Lowell Schleicher of NCR in Dayton submitted a patent "Pressure responsive record materials" for a carbon-less copy paper. This became US Patent 2,730,457 and was commercialized as "NCR Paper."
In February 1953, the company acquired the Computer Research Corporation (CRC),[18] after which it created a specialized electronics division. In 1956, NCR introduced its first electronic device, the Class 29 Post-Tronic, a bank machine using magnetic stripe technology. With the General Electric Company (now known as GE ), the company manufactured its first transistor-based computer in 1957, the NCR 304. Also in the 1950s NCR introduced MICR (magnetic ink character recognition)[19] and the NCR 3100 accounting machines.[20]
In 1962, NCR introduced the NCR-315 Electronic Data Processing System which included the CRAM storage device, the first automated mass storage alternative to magnetic tape libraries accessed manually by computer operators. The NCR 390 and 500 computers were also offered to customers who did not need the full power of the 315. The NCR 390 accepted four types of input: magnetic ledger cards, punched cards, punched tape, and keyboard entry, with a tape read speed of 400 characters a second.[20] The company's first all-integrated circuit computer was the Century 100 of 1968. The Century 200 was added in 1970. The line was extended through the Century 300.[21] The Century series was followed by the Criterion series in 1976, NCR's first virtual machine system.
During this period, NCR also produced the 605 minicomputer for in-house use. It was the compute engine for the 399 and 499 accounting machines, several generations of in-store and in-bank controllers, and the 82xx/90xx IMOS COBOL systems. The 605 also powered peripheral controllers, including the 658 disk subsystem and the 721 communications processor.
In 1974, NCR developed scanners and computers marked the first occasion where items with the Universal Product Code (UPC) was scanned at the checkout of a supermarket, Troy's Marsh Supermarket in Troy, Ohio; a few miles away from NCR's Dayton Headquarters. It was treated as a ceremonial occasion and involved a little bit of ritual. The night before, a team of Marsh's supermarket staff had moved in to put bar codes on hundreds of items in the store while NCR installed their scanners and computers.[22]
In 1982, NCR's Peripheral Products Division in Wichita, Kansas, together with peripheral manufacturer, Shugart Associates, helped propel the computer industry into a new era of intelligent standardized peripheral communications with the development the Small Computer System Interface (SCSI). The SCSI standard enabled such diverse devices as disks, tapes, printers, and scanners to share a common interface to one or more computer systems in a way that was never before possible and a model for subsequent interfaces to follow. NCR developed the world's first SCSI interface chip based on the SCSI interface standard collaboratively developed.[23]
By 1986, the number of mainframe makers had dropped from 8 (IBM and the "seven dwarfs") to 6 (IBM and the "BUNCH") to 4: IBM, Unisys, NCR, and Control Data Corporation.
The company adopted the name NCR Corporation in 1974.
Small computersEdit
In 1982, NCR became involved in open systems architecture. Its first such system was the UNIX-powered TOWER 16/32, the success of which (approximately 100,000 were sold) established NCR as a pioneer in bringing industry standards and open systems architecture to the computer market. These 5000-series systems were based on Motorola 68k CPUs and supported NCR's proprietary transaction processing system TMX, which was mainly used by financial institutions. This product line also saw the first time NCR had offered its products through other than its own direct sales channels since the early 1900s. Formally added to its company structure in March 1984, NCR's OEM System's Division spearheaded the design, sales revenue and market awareness and acceptance of NCR's Tower family. Part of the cause of this success was the decision by NCR senior management to hire reseller industry veterans for key positions within the fledgling operation and have that unit work with, but not answerable to, NCR's traditional management structure. The industry shift from minicomputers brought personnel with minicomputer and reseller backgrounds such as the division head, Dan Kiegler (ex-Datapoint marketing), marketing manager and later Director of Field Sales, Dave Lang (ex-DEC reseller marketing director and salesperson) and other critical contributors at corporate levels; who then hired a complementary field sales organization primarily made up of proven people from DEC, Wang and other faltering minicomputer firms.

In the 1980s, NCR sold various PC compatible AT-class computers, like the small NCR-3390 (called an "intelligent terminal"). They proposed a customized version of MS-DOS named NCR-DOS, which for example offered support for switching the CPU between 6, 8 or 10 MHz speeds. The computers featured an improved CGA adapter, the NGA, which had a 640×400 text mode more suitable for business uses than the original 640×200 mode, with characters drawn using single-pixel-wide lines, giving an appearance similar to that of classic IBM 3270 terminals. The additional four-color 640×400 graphical mode was identical to CGA's 320×200 mode from a programming point of view.
NCR also manufactured two proprietary series of mini-to-midrange computers:
I-Series: 9010 (IDPS Operating System), 9020 and 9100 (IMOS Operating System), 9040 and 9050 (IRX Operating System), 9200 / 9300 / 9300IP / 9400 / 9400IP / 9500 / System 1000 models 35 / 55 / 65 / 75 (ITX Operating System). These were "I" (Interactive) computers allowing TTY terminals to be connected. Later models supported all industry-standard communication protocols.
V-Series: 8500 (VRX Operating System) and 9800 (VRX/E Operating System). These were "V" series, comparable to mainframes, supporting "Page mode" terminals. The hardware did have similarities with the I-Series while the operating system and user interface was totally different.
In 1990, NCR introduced the System 3000, a seven-level family of computers based on Intel's 386 and 486 CPUs. The majority of the System 3000 range utilised IBM's Micro Channel architecture rather than the more prevalent ISA architecture, and utilised SCSI peripherals as well as the more popular parallel and serial port interfaces, resulting in a premium product with premium pricing. The 3600, through NCR subsidiary Applied Digital Data Systems supported both the Pick Operating System and Prime Information.[24]
The 1970s saw the widespread installations of the Model 770 in National Westminster and Barclays banks throughout the UK, but it was not until the Model 5070, developed at its Dundee plant in Scotland and introduced in 1983 that the company began to make more serious inroads into the ATM market. Subsequent models included the 5084, and 58xx (Personas) series. In early 2008, the company launched its new generation of ATMs—the 662x/663x SelfServ series. NCR currently commands over a third of the entire ATM market, with an estimated $18 trillion being withdrawn from NCR ATMs every year. In addition, NCR's expertise in this field led the company to contract with the U.S. Military to support the Eagle Cash program with customized ATMs.[25]
NCR 5xxx seriesEdit
The NCR 5xxx-series is the range of (ATMs) produced by NCR from the early 1980s. Most models were designed and initially manufactured at its Dundee factory in Scotland, but later produced at several other locations around the world.
There have been several distinct generations:
50xx-series; The initial models introduced in 1983 were the 5070 (interior vestibule) and 5080 (Through The Wall or TTW) introduced a number of features which have become standard among ATMs. Most notably, the individual functions of the ATM are divided among discrete modules which can be easily removed and replaced for repair or replenishment. The 5080 featured the standard anti-vandal smoked perspex screen which covered the keypad and screen until the cardholder inserted their card. The enhanced 5084 TTW model appeared in 1987, and had an improved anti-vandal fascia and was the first ATM to dispense with the need for the retracting perspex screen. The 5085 offered the first crude deposit function; with the machine supplying the deposit envelopes which were subsequently stored in the machine's safe for subsequent back office processing.
56xx-series; produced from 1991 to 1997. Enhanced functions such as color displays and improved security and usability functions became available. The introduction of Media Entry Indicators (MEI) which highlight the card entry slot to the customer was also a part of this series. Some 56xx machines produced between 1994–1996 were badged as "AT&T" rather than "NCR", mirroring the company's brief ownership under the telecoms giant in the mid-1990s. 56xx models have included the 5670 (interior lobby cash dispense only), 5675 (interior lobby multifunction—dispense & deposit), 5684 (exterior TTW dispense only), 5688 (exterior TTW drive-up multifunction) and 5685 (exterior TTW multifunction).
58xx-series marketed as Personas from 1998 to the present. These models were characterised by the gradual move towards greater ATM functionality including intelligent, envelopeless deposit by means of automated cheque recognition modules, coin dispense, and electronic cash recognition functions which allows bank customers to deposit cash and cheques with instant processing of the transaction. The 58xx series has also been characterised by the gradual introduction of LCD displays instead of the traditional CRT monitor. Models have included the 5870 (compact interior lobby dispense only), 5873 (interior lobby with cash accept & deposit only), 5874 (Exterior TTW cash dispense), 5875 (Multifunction TTW). The latest TTW versions of the Personas line, introduced in 2000 and marketed as M-Series added functions such as cash recycling, coin dispense, barcode reading, a larger 12" LCD display with touchscreen option, and for the first time, a common wall footprint for both the Multifunction (5886) or single function (5887).
NCR 66XX seriesEdit
NCR's 6th generation of ATMs have been noted for the further move towards intelligent deposit and the expansion of secondary functions such as barcode reading.
667x-series marketed under the Personas M-Series brand were introduced in 2005 to the present. These models consist of the 6676 (interior lobby multifunction) and 6674 (through-the-wall multifunction). The outlook design is very different from the Personas model; on the front-access 6676s the front cover is opened upwards which claim to be saving the services area.
NCR Self-Serv 20 and 30 seriesEdit
NCR's latest ATM services, introduced in 2008.
This series is a complete redesign of both outlook and technological contents. It is also a cost down product.
Self-Serv 20 series are single-function (e.g. cash-out) ATMs, while Self-Serv 30 series are full-function (cash-out and intelligent deposit) machines.
AT&TEdit
TeradataEdit
Teradata partnered with NCR in 1990 and was purchased by NCR in 1991.[26] Mark Hurd took over the company's Teradata division in 1999 and is credited with expanding NCR's Teradata business.[27] Hurd streamlined operations and invested in research. The Teradata division at NCR became profitable in 2002.[28]
AcquisitionEdit
NCR was acquired September 19, 1991 by AT&T Corporation for $7.4 billion and was joined with Teradata Corporation on February 28, 1992. As an AT&T subsidiary, its 1992 year-end headcount was 53,800 employees and contractors.[29] By 1993, the subsidiary produced a year-end $1.287 billion net loss on $7.265 billion in revenue. The net losses continued in 1994 and 1995, losses that required repeated subsidies from the parent company and resulted in a 1995 year-end headcount of 41,100.[29] During these three years, AT&T was the former NCR's largest customer, accounting for over $1.5 billion in revenue.[29]
On February 15, 1995, the company sold its microelectronics division and storage systems division to Hyundai which named it Symbios Logic. At the time it was the largest purchase of an American company by a Korean company.
For a while, starting in 1994, the subsidiary was renamed AT&T Global Information Solutions, but in 1995, AT&T decided to spin off the company, and in 1996, changed its name back to NCR in preparation for the spin-off. The company outlined its reasons for the spin-off in an Information Statement sent to its stockholders, which cited, in addition to "changes in customer needs" and "need for focused management time and attention", the following:
...[A]dvantages of vertical integration [which had motivated ATT's earlier acquisition of NCR] are outweighed by its costs and disadvantages....[T]o varying degrees, many of the actual and potential customers of Lucent and NCR are or will be competitors of AT&T's communications services businesses. NCR believes that its efforts to target the communications industry have been hindered by the reluctance of AT&T's communications services competitors to make purchases from an AT&T subsidiary.
NCR re-emerged as a stand-alone company on January 1, 1997.
IndependenceEdit
One of NCR's first significant acquisitions after becoming independent from AT&T came in July 1997, when it purchased Compris Technologies, a privately held company in Kennesaw, Georgia that produced software for restaurant chains.[30] In November 1997, NCR purchased Dataworks Inc., a 60-person privately held company in San Antonio, Texas.[31]
The Montgomery County Historical Society and NCR Corporation joined in 1998 into a partnership committed to preserving the historic and voluminous NCR Archive. In 1999, NCR moved an estimated three million items from NCR's Building 28 into the Historical Society's Research Center.
In 1998, NCR sold its computer hardware manufacturing assets to Solectron and ceased to produce general-purpose computer systems, focusing instead on the retail and financial industries. In 2000, NCR acquired customer relationship management provider Ceres Integrated Solutions and services company 4Front Technologies. Recent acquisitions include self-service companies Kinetics, InfoAmerica and Galvanon, and software company DecisionPoint.
In April 2003, NCR purchased Copient Technologies, an Indiana-based retail marketing software company.
CEO Lars Nyberg announced his resignation from the company in February 2003 in order to address family matters. NCR promoted Mark Hurd to replace Nyberg as CEO in March 2003.[32] Early on in his new role, Hurd made changes in order to cut costs, including layoffs and converting an executive parking lot into an ATM training center. Within his first year as CEO, the company's stock doubled and NCR became a market leader in ultra high-end data-warehousing software.[33]
Under Bill Nuti's managementEdit

In 2006, NCR acquired software company IDVelocity and the ATM manufacturing division of Tidel, a cash security equipment manufacturer specializing in retail markets.
On January 8, 2007, NCR announced its intention to separate into two independent companies by spinning off Teradata to shareholders. Bill Nuti would continue his role as president and CEO of NCR, while Teradata Senior VP Mike Koehler would assume leadership of Teradata.[34] On October 1, 2007, NCR Corporation and Teradata jointly announced the Teradata business unit spin-off was complete, with Michael Koehler as the first CEO of Teradata.[35]
On January 11, 2007, NCR announced plans to restructure its entire ATM manufacturing operations, with 650 jobs at its Dundee plant being cut.[36] A further 450 jobs were cut in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. In 2009, the Dundee manufacturing facility was closed, along with plants in São Paulo and Bucharest, citing global economic conditions as the reason.
NCR extended its self-service portfolio into the digital media market with the January 2007 announcement of NCR Xpress Entertainment, a multichannel entertainment kiosk. NCR's acquisition of Touch Automation LLC was announced on December 31, 2007.[37]
On October 15, 2008, NCR announced a global reseller partnership with Experticity, a Seattle based software company.[38]
In 2009, NCR relocated its corporate headquarters from Dayton, Ohio to near Duluth, Georgia; Dayton had served as NCR's home for 125 years.[39]
In 2009, NCR became the second largest DVD Kiosk operator in North America with the acquisitions of The New Release and DVD Play. In 2010, NCR completed the acquisition of digital signage company, Netkey.
In August 2011, NCR purchased Radiant Systems, a hospitality and retail systems company, for US$1.2 billion.[40] Radiant's hospitality division turned into a new Hospitality Line of Business within NCR. Radiant's petroleum and convenience retail business became part of its retail line of business. Several Radiant executives remained on board, including Scott Kingsfield, who was a general manager of NCR's Retail Line of Business and left NCR in 2014, and Andy Heyman, who became general manager of NCR's Financial Services line of business.
In August 2012, the company was hit with charges of avoiding U.S. economic sanctions against Syria, greatly affecting its stock price.[41]
In February 2013, NCR completed its acquisition of Retalix (NASDAQ: RTLX), a provider of retail software and services, for approximately $650 million in cash.[42]
In January 2014, NCR completed its acquisition of Digital Insight Corporation, a provider of online and mobile banking to mid-market financial institutions, from equity firm Thoma Bravo, LLC for $1.65 billion in cash.[43]
In September 2016, Mark Benjamin was named president and chief operating officer of NCR. Benjamin is a 24-year veteran of human resources management and will report directly to Bill Nuti.[44]
In January 2018, NCR relocated its corporate headquarters from near Duluth, Georgia to a new office in Midtown Atlanta. NCR's mailing address is 864 Spring St NW, Atlanta, GA 30308.[45]
Products and servicesEdit
NCR's R&D activity is split between its three major centers in Atlanta (retail); Dundee, Scotland (financial industry); and Waterloo, Ontario. It also has R&D centers in Beijing; Cebu, Philippines; Belgrade, Serbia; Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Puducherry Chengalpattu and Hyderabad, India.[46] NCR also has manufacturing facilities in Beijing, Budapest, and the Indian territory of Puducherry and Chengalpattu which is a regional manufacturing and export hub.

Everyone is busy. We all make choices about how we want to spend our time and what we do during that time can have a HUGE impact on our lives or none at all.
It's not uncommon for new (and even seasoned) business owners to think that the only way that they are going to succeed in business is to put every waking minute into their company, many times to the detriment of their family and friends. While it's true that there are many business items that can consume your time, eventually you will become burned out, isolated and maybe even frustrated, if you don't find a way to spend your time that is both profitable and reasonable.
What if I told you the best way to grow your business is to concentrate on someone else's business? Sounds crazy, right? It is so counter intuitive to what we are constantly being told as business professionals—we've all heard that it's a dog-eat-dog world out there and we need to be selfish and perhaps even aggressive in getting and keeping customers.
Take heart, there's a kinder, gentler and MUCH more effective way! Follow these steps to find more time and satisfaction in your business and help another business succeed—the perfect WIN-WIN!
Wants to help you succeed.
Is willing to make time to help you (they'll get it back, I promise).
Has the resources to help you.
Possesses great relationships with the customers you want to target.
Would make a great referral for people you know.
And last, and most importantly, you must be willing to commit to the same six traits for that businessperson. If any single one of these six items cannot be met on both sides, you'll end up losing time instead of gaining it back.
Have you ever noticed how much easier (and credible) it is to talk about how great someone else is instead of tooting your own horn?
The nice thing about talking about someone else's business with your customers is that you raise your perceived value in your customer's eyes—they suddenly see you in much larger terms than a CPA or a Lawn Care company—you become a problem-solver for them. Not only that, but they are much more likely to take your recommendation immediately and that shortens the sales cycle and buys back a LOT of time for the business you referred.
Now, imagine, if someone was doing that for your business???
My average sales cycle can take up to 9 months. But I once had a referral to a company that hired me the minute I walked in the door. What would you do with an extra 9 months of sales time?
Follow this plan to make your business even more profitable AND you'll be able to spend more time with the ones you love–that's a paradigm worth changing!

Holiday of a Lifetime
Kenya between 29 Feb 2016 and 13 Mar 2016
"After a slightly shakey start, we had a fabulous holiday - all we could have wished for.
Richard went to great lengths to organise this very special holiday and we are enormously grateful to him for his efforts on our behalf. Our thanks to all at Expert Africa."
Arranged By Richard Trillo
The Emakoko
"Great stay on edge of Nairobi National Park"
1 night Arrived 1 Mar 2016
"Great experience right from the start.
We were met by our guide, Elisaban, on arrival and had our first game drive on the way to the Emakoko where we were warmly received by Anthony and the staff. We were very happy with everything, the lodge was beautiful, food excellent (had dinner outside by candlelight).
Can't recommend it highly enough."

"The only slightly disappointing part of trip"
3 nights Arrived 2 Mar 2016
"We arrived at the camp shortly before lunchtime and were greeted by Tricia (Yoga Instructor/Assistant to Luca and Antonella?). She rattled through various options of things we could do (most of which were costly - flight to Tsavo, etc) which, bearing in mind we only had two full days here, seemed rather excessive. Antonella and Luca joined us and a large outgoing yoga group for lunch but left as soon as they had finished eating. We did not see them again until they appeared for lunch the following day where again they left as soon as they had finished eating and we did not see them for the rest of our stay. They were very inattentive, not welcoming, made it plain we should 'private dine' in the evenings.
On our last day we wanted to speak to Luca regarding gratuities as their information clearly stated there is no need to tip the guides separately and we wanted to make sure our guides were well rewarded and also for him to confirm a suitable amount. Apparently they were not at the camp so, at lunchtime, Tricia dropped in and we asked if we could have a word with her regarding gratuities. She offered to discuss it then but we felt it inappropriate in front of the the staff. She promised to return after lunch and we waited for ages. Later in the afternoon we went to try and find her and were told she was 'doing yoga' so we had no option but to leave an envelope with a member of staff we did not know. We did not see Tricia again either. We have e.mailed Luca and Antonella and expressed our disappointment and asked for confirmation that the gratuities were received. Luca has confirmed this to us and answered rather defensively that they thought we wanted privacy. On our departure, Pashiet asked us if we wanted to speak to Luca and we said we would. He tried to contact him but there was no response so we left without seeing him. (Luca says he was walking down to see us).
Set against this, the guides and staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. Our game drives, sundowners and breakfasts were tremendous and real highlight of our two days. Pashiet and Simon could not have done more for us. So this most important part of the trip was a great success. They always went the extra mile to try and find us whatever we wanted to see. We loved the walk in the cloud forest. We have ticked 'good' for activities as the drives and walk were lovely but no-one took the time to find out if we would like to do anything else.
Our lodge was extremely nice and overlooked the waterhole where we saw lots of game coming and going which was delightful and we loved our afternoons sitting on the verandah watching.
The service was excellent.
Right from the start we were bombarded with the good works of Luca and the foundation by Tricia (even before being shown to our lodge) and we felt we were a means to an end which, when you pay this sort of money, you don't expect.
The food was very average, large quantities but on the two last evenings the meat was so tough it was inedible. We did have a nice fish meal on the first night (Luca's birthday). They made such a fuss of the fact that it was Luca's birthday that we felt too embarrassed to mention it Russell's 60th the following day.
Our overall impression is that the whole thing is for the glorification of Luca and his foundation and the guests were secondary to this. We left feeling surplus to requirements!"
Feedback response
Campi ya Kanzi has responded to say they are delighted that Mr and Mrs B enjoyed many aspects of their stay and were able to experience some of what the camp has to offer. They apologise for the fact that they did not find everything to their liking, but say they try to be as flexible as possible.
The camp arranged private dinners every night at the request, they understood, of these travellers, though Mr and Mrs B felt they were given no choice in that. The camp is very sorry that the request to meet the owners was not transmitted fast enough. They have noted the comments about the way information is provided about various activities available to guests and the work of the Trust, and they point out that they are trying to tailor the best safari experience for all their guests.
Campi ya Kanzi's links to the Maasai Wilderness Conservation Trust and the support that provides for conservation and the local community are an important part of the camp's existence. The feedback from these travellers has made them appreciate even more the need to be sensitive in striking the right balance about how that is communicated.

Kicheche Laikipia
"It doesn't get any better than this!!!"
"After our slightly disappointing departure from Campi ya Kanzi, we approached Kicheche Laikipia with some trepidation. Any worries were immediately dispelled. We were met at the airstrip by Albert, who was our guide for the rest of the trip and proved to be wonderful.
Arriving at the camp an hour later, we were met by Andy who showed us to our beautiful lodge and sat us down with a drink to gently explain how the system worked and what was available to us. All the time sitting by their lovely lake watching an elephant walk by on the other side. Sonja joined us for a late lunch which was absolutely delicious and we received some good advice from other guests, suggesting half portions in future!
The game drives with Albert were wonderful, including breakfasts and sundowners, seeing lots of animals, birds and plants, all in beautiful surroundings. Albert was so considerate, always seeming to know where to stop the vehicle for the best light for photos. His knowledge and gentle humour totally charmed us for the three days we were with him. When he took us back to the airstrip at the end of our stay, he even insisted on staying until our plane took off.
Andy meahwhile, sorted out an itinerary for us, including a visit to the rhino sanctuary and a guided walk with Ranger Robert. At this point Russell developed toothache and we had to disrupt everything and be driven to Nanyuki for antibiotics, ;meaning that Andy had to re-organise our itinerary which he took in his stride. Nothing was too much trouble.
The food was fantastic, as was the attention to detail. William and Nixon, our two serving staff were so professional and charming as was our night security, Bernard. They all always had a smile and a chat and were interested to hear what we had been doing. Once the guests who were there when we arrived had departed, we were the only ones left and there was always Andy or Sonja waiting to welcome us back and entertain us with their charming stories at lunch and in the evenings.
Andy and Sonja are the most charming hosts anyone could wish for and their lovely, relaxed management style obviously engendered great respect and affection from their staff which was reflected in their wonderful treatment of us. We were sad to leave and will be back if possible."

Naboisho Camp
"A lovely end to our holiday"
"We were met at the airstrip by our guide (Nabala) for the next three days, and had quite an exciting drive back to camp, including getting stuck in the mud and necessitating being towed out. Nabala proved to be a most entertaining and knowledgeable guide and always went the extra mile to find all the things we would like to see (even though his driving style did leave us a bit battered and bruised!!).
Roelof and Helen were charming and attentive hosts - one of them always there to greet us and hear about what we had been doing. Moses the manager was always on hand and absolutely brilliant, nothing was ever too much trouble, all our wants and needs carefully attended to by him, including wake-up calls with coffee in the morning, confirming flights and checking us in on the International flight and booking a restaurant for us in Nairobi. One of them always joined us for meals which were quite lively. The humour of the waiting staff was delightful.
We had a fantastic three hour walk with Roelof who, again knew exactly where to find everything and where to position us for the best light for photographs. The walk was incredibly informative and fascinating. One of the highlights of our stay here.
The lodge was lovely and we could watch the animals grazing in the distance (and hear lions roaring at night).
On our last morning we had a lovely breakfast in the camp (our first as the rest were on drives) with Helen, Roelof and two of their friends who were visiting. they gave us a great sendoff and we were sad to leave."

Tributes paid to Dambusters pilot Les Munro, who dies aged 96
End of an era: Tributes have been pouring in following the death of the last surviving Dambusters pilot, Les Munro, who has died at the age of 96.
By Stefan Pidluznyj, Local Democracy Reporter Stefan Pidluznyj, Local Democracy Reporter
Tributes have been pouring in following the death of the last surviving Dambusters pilot, Les Munro, who has died at the age of 96.
Squadron Leader Munro died in his native New Zealand on Monday, August 3 after suffering from heart problems.
Munro was a member of the RAF's famous 617 Squadron which was formed at RAF Scampton in 1943 and used "bouncing bombs" to attack German dams during the Second World War.
The Dambusters flew from Scampton on the night of May 16, 1943, with the first of the bombers heading to the Möhne and Eder Dams in the Ruhr valley.
The visit of HM King George VI to No 617 Squadron (The Dambusters), Royal Air Force, Scampton, Lincolnshire, May 27, 1943 – The King has a word with Flight Lieutenant Les Munro from New Zealand. Wing Commander Guy Gibson is on the right and Air Vice Marshal Ralph Cochrane, Commander of No 5 Group is behind Flight Lieutenant Munro and to the right.
Both of these dams were breached, causing significant flooding, and two hydroelectric power stations were destroyed.
Factories were also damaged and an estimated 1,600 German civilians drowned from the attacks.
Of the crew of 133 that set off from Scampton, Squadron Leader Munro was one of only 77 who returned.
He was among those who were awarded the Distinguished Service Order for his part in the attack.
Earlier this year, Munro sold his medals for £75,000 to British peer Lord Ashcroft, to pay for the upkeep of the Bomber Command Memorial in London.
In a statement announcing the news, the New Zealand Bomber Command Association said: "Our New Zealand Bomber Command Association patron, and well known Dambuster pilot, Les Munro passed away last night following a spell in hospital with heart problems. So, so sad. He was a mighty man."
Many more from Lincolnshire and across the world have taken to social media to leave their tributes to Munro.

Ric Metcalfe: Boris Johnson is a "renegade"? How true!
Responding to Grimsby MP's backing of the PM over lockdown party
Leader of City of Lincoln Council, Ric Metcalfe (Labour)
By Ric Metcalfe City of Lincoln Council Leader
Labour City of Lincoln Council leader responded via The Lincolnite to Grimsby Conservative MP Lia Nici after she "wholeheartedly" defended the Prime Minister following No 10 lockdown party-gate.
Ric Metcalfe wrote:
"Lia Nici's verdict on Boris Johnson is that we should remember that he is 'a renegade' ["What we've got to remember is that he's a renegade"].
"She obviously thinks this can be made to be seen as a virtuous quality, perhaps she should have checked the meaning of the word first.
"Renegade means: 'A person who deserts and betrays an organisation, country, or set of principles.'
"How true!"

Maya Nassar Maalouf is a mother, fitness entrepreneur, certified personal trainer, sports nutritionist and international fitness model champion. She began her fitness journey several years ago when she was overweight and has lost more than 20 kilograms of fat and five dress sizes. She is the first Arab female to be endorsed by the government to compete in international fitness modeling competitions and has won 9 trophies in the last year. She has her own online platform, mobile application and gym named Start Living Right where she helps others live a healthy lifestyle and changes their lives for the better. Her mobile application is the first of its kind in Lebanon, is endorsed by the Lebanese minister of sports and has been ranked as the number one app by the Apple store. Maya hosted the sports segment Get Fit on MTV Lebanon for the last 2.5 years.
Just last week I found myself feeling extremely demotivated about working hard to transform my body for the second time and compete in May. I'm well into my third week of dieting and have started to face the reality of how much sacrifice it takes to achieve some really difficult goals.
I've had moments where I've been surrounded by people eating cake while I simply turn a blind eye. The other issue I'm faced with is watching my calorie intake. I can't just eat whenever I'm hungry. I have to stick to portion sizes, keep my carb intake quite moderate and suppress my appetite if I have any extra cravings. I've lowered my calorie intake from 2500 down to 1750 calories in total.
However, despite the discipline and sacrifice it takes, it is totally worth it at the end of the day. I've already started noticing some changes in my physique. My abs are more cut, my legs are harder and I'm already much stronger. I'm not going to build the best body I've ever had by sitting on the couch and eating cake. The cake isn't going anywhere and I know I'll indulge as soon as I've achieve my goals.
Sometimes all it takes is a simple sentence to remind you not to give up and to keep moving forward.
Although you might want to binge and skip gym sessions, never give up what you want in the long run for what you want right now.
Remind yourself that sitting in your comfort zone will not benefit you in any way. Challenges are what makes you grow as a person and in all other aspects in your life.
Working hard means you might inspire others to be like you. Be the one who is different and not the one gives in because everyone else is doing it.
Taking care of your body will not only improve your physical health, but your mental health as well. If you want to live a long, fulfilling and happy life, the way to do it is to take care of yourself. A sedentary lifestyle, bad food and frequent alcohol will not serve you or your family in any way.
On the other hand, I wish you all a very happy Valentine's Day. This is one night where you can actually ditch the diet and enjoy a rich piece of cake.

Opinion: Limerick Camogie Team of the Decade - Jerome O'Connell
Jerome O'Connell
joconnell@limerickleader.ie
AFTER compiling the Limerick club hurling and football teams of the decade in this column in recent times I was challenged to do likewise for camogie.
Just like Santa, I enlisted the help of some elves with a greater experience than me in the respective codes.
Where possible, players are selected in positions that they played in and longevity was a big consideration given it's the Team of the Decade.
My selection is largely one to spark debate and I've no doubt there are players who have sparkled in recent seasons that will leave a huge legacy but aren't included here and some that dominated in the previous decade and didn't feature strongly into the past 10 years.
It was a decade that saw Limerick camogie promoted back up into the senior ranks with a Croke Park All-Ireland intermediate title win in 2014.
The year previous Limerick lost the same final to Galway in a year that also saw a Division Two league title won.
The promotion up senior was timely with a 2014 All-Ireland minor A title win – three years after an All-Ireland minor B title.
Up senior, Limerick made a break through in 2019 when reaching the knockout stages for the first time in 15 years.
On the club scene, five different clubs won county senior camogie championship titles across the decade; 2010-'19.
Granagh-Ballingarry lead the way with six titles; including a 5-in-a-row from 2013-17. There was a title each for Ballyagran and Killeedy at the start of the decade and then Ahane and Newcastle West at the end of the decade.
This Limerick Camogie Team of the Decade contains players from eight different clubs. Ahane, Granagh-Ballingarry and Newcastle West have three each, while Killeedy have two representatives. There is one each for Cappamore, Bruff, Adare and Galbally.
TEAM: Sile Moynihan (Ahane); Fiona Hickey (Granagh-Ballingarry), Michelle Casey (Killeedy), Muireann Creamer (Cappamore); Mairead Ryan (Galbally), Sarah Carey (Granagh-Ballingarry), Judith Mulcahy (Ahane); Karen O'Leary (Newcastle West), Rebecca Delee (Newcastle West); Caoimhe Costelloe (Adare), Mary O'Callaghan (Bruff), Niamh Mulcahy (Ahane); Deborah Murphy (Newcastle West), Aoife Sheehan (Granagh-Ballingarry), Dymphna O'Brien (Killeedy).

Forza Horizon 4 is Coming to Steam

Published: 02-08-2021, 03:26 PM
Add it to your Steam Wishlist today.
Playground Games just announced that they are bringing Forza Horizon 4 to the Steam platform this March. Specifically, their open-world racing game will be available on March 9 through Steam. Though it's still about a month away from its Steam debut, that shouldn't stop you from adding Forza Horizon 4 to your Steam Wishlist.
Forza Horizon 4 has been out now on the Xbox One platform and PC via the Windows 10 Store for about two years now. It originally came out on October 2, 2018. It features a fictional version of Great Britain where the seasons change every so often. There are also a couple of expansions that were released for the game. The first was Fortune Island expansion that features a new map, new cars, and extreme weather conditions. There was also the Lego Speed Champions that features LEGO versions of real cars, a new map built entirely in LEGO pieces, and a radio station that solely plays "Everything is Awesome" from The Lego Movie.
Forza Horizon 4 also had several car packs released over the course of its life. These packs are in addition to the over 600 cars that are already available to purchase and drive in the game already.
Cross-play is indeed a feature that will be included in this release. You will be able to join your friends and play with them no matter which platform they own Forza Horizon 4 on.
Since 2018, the Horizon Festival has attracted racing and automotive fans thanks to beautiful, historic Britain's breathtaking scenery in a shared world where together, everyone experiences changes in time of day, weather, and seasons.
Thanks to our community, gameplay in Forza Horizon 4 is more expansive than ever before with battle royale inspired racing via The Eliminator, added rewards for stunning in-game photography with Horizon Promo, and reinvented community-created challenges with the recent arrival of Super7. In this newest game mode, beat seven random challenges in a row for an exclusive reward, and even create your own custom challenges featuring structures and scenery—whatever you want, wherever you want.

Flight modules are injection-molded one-piece designs that become an integral part of the belt when assembled. The flight prevents the product from slipping back while being moved upwards.
Side guards positioned at the edges of the belt stop loose goods falling off. Details about standard and clip-on side guards can be found in the respective product data sheets.
Finger transfer plates (combs) are installed at the belt ends of a raised rib belt. The fingers extend between the ribs of the belt for smooth product transfer.

One shot taken at Mölle Kullen, with an 8x ND filter and 1 sec exposure time, colored with The Gimp.
This was the first time I experimented with a stormy sea and long exposure times. I learned that I have much to learn, but I like this picture.
Meanwhile, I got a Nikon 18-200mm AF-S DX VR lens. I'm really happy with it, I can zoom much more now but the camera still fits in my nice little bag, and the VR works really great: It seems a tripod is almost never needed!
The camera is a Nikon D70S with the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G lens	.
I like to photograph landscapes, details such as flowers and especially animals. They never try to look extra good or supercool - just natural. To photograph people is much more difficult I think.
There are more pictures in my USA Blog.


A spokeswoman said: 'We haven't been given a reason for the delay but we are hoping to do the recording later.'ITV said they had not been given a reason either, but were also hoping to record an interview before Clinton leaves Britain.
The US Embassy said it had not received any information about the former First Lady's accident.
Jane Garvey, who had been due to interview Mrs Clinton on the BBC Radio show Woman's Hour, repeatedly told listeners she had been delayed.
She said: 'Hillary Clinton has been delayed this morning, as I've already said.
Trump alluded to her alleged issues with stamina at several points during the campaign.
Out for dinner: Before her injury Hillary Clinton was pictured out last night with Huma Abedin, the vice chair of her presidential campaign whose estranged husband Anthony Weiner is facing jail for sexting a 15-year-old schoolgirl She also famously fell inside her home in 2013 on the eve of testimony before a House Benghazi committee.
Hillary Clinton hobbled away from filming a British TV show interview on crutches Monday after breaking her toe falling down some stairs.


After Samsung rolling out Android 4.3 for Galaxy S III devices, the update for Note II has been idle, until now. A few screenshots found on the internet prove the fact that one lucky user from India got the update while being near a Samsung Service Center. What this means, is that either Samsung has already started to roll out the update for Note II devices or it's just an inadvertent release by the company's center.
The firmware's build number is N7100XXUEMJ9, while its build date is October 31. As for the changes the update features are still unknown, although we might expect a similarity to the Android 4.3 on the Galaxy S4 along with some S Pen related software upgrades.
Android 4.3 available for the Samsung I9505 Galaxy S4!
Those who own Samsung's Galaxy S4 I9505's LTE-enabled version can benefit from the Android 4.3 firmware update. The download will be available for all international users, although Germany will be the first country to update the flagship smartphone.
The update consists of design changes for TouchWiz, rather than new OS functions, like the new Samsung Browser, Keyboard, Reading Mode and the TouchWiz Launcher. Something that caught my eye's attention was the supposedly "Improved Display colour reproduction", which means that the colours will seem to look a lot brighter. As another performance change, they also improved the RAM memory management.
Unfortunately, the update is rather slow and gradual, but there's always a chance to give your warranty up and install the download via Odin.
Those who might wonder why the phablet's update is taking so long compared to the other devices, is because of the vast number of S-Pen related features that need to be optimized for the new OS.
Samsung Corby II is Official!
We know that the first Samsung Corby had a great success worldwide, due to the fact that it was cheap, cool and… friendly. And now, Here it is, the predecessor of the original Corby, the Samsung S3850 Corby II aka codename GT-S3850. It looks quite promising because of the hardware and design changes, although the personality remains the same.
Samsung Corby II will be available at the end of this month at nearly all countries of the world. The price is unknown, however it should cost as much as the original one, it's a mid-range device after all.
Samsung Concerned about Apple iPad 2!
After Apple iPad 2 has been presented last week, Samsung's Mobile VP, Lee Don-Joo is already talking about the competition between the two companies. The concern is that the iPad 2's measure, which is only 8.8mm thick, is even thinner than the Apple iPhone 4 or the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (10.9mm).
Even if Samsung don't have such parts for this feature, they promise that the next tablet they are going to launch will even things up. The first iPad was pretty heavy, being a trouble if you are browsing the internet for over 10 minutes and using only one hand to hold it, however, they probably solved the problem once they made it such thin.
Some weeks ago, there was a leak about a possible 8.9 inch diagonal screen Galaxy Tab… Will it be thinner that the Apple iPad 2? Time will tell.
Looks like the NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is spreading away pretty fast, already available on the Android 2.3 Gingerbread, some BlackBerry and the upcoming iPhone devices. As said, Samsung Wave 578 will be introduced at the first day of Mobile World Congress, featuring the Bada OS 2.0 and NFC tech.
The handset is a mid-range type, sporting a WQVGA 3.2 inch display, 3.2 MP camera, WiFi, Bluetooth and video calling. According to Moveplayer, the new version of the Bada OS will be 1.2, instead of 2.0 (Bada OS is made by Samsung).
The design is pretty nice, simple and intuitive. At the top of the screen you can notice the front-facing camera for video calling (likely VGA), the speaker and the proximity sensor, while at the bottom of the screen is the Phone Accept/Decline and the OK + Navigation buttons. On the right side of the handset is the Power OnOff and probably the Camera Launch buttons.
Further informations will be given tomorrow, at MWC 2011. Stay tuned.


Zach Lewis wanted to leave Canisius for a higher level of play. He'll get that in the Atlantic 10.
After announcing his intent to transfer last month, ESPN reported Tuesday that Lewis is headed to UMass. He'll have two years of eligibility remaining after sitting out the 2015-16 season.
Lewis, a Third Team All-MAAC selection in each of his two seasons at Canisius, must have made a decent impression on Minutemen coach Derek Kellogg during their Dec. 13 game in Amherst, Mass. UMass cruised to a 75-58 win while Lewis led the Griffs with 13 points on 5-of-15 shooting.
The jump from the MAAC to the A-10 should give Lewis a more appropriate role on offense. He was often asked to do too much on last season's young Canisius team, and his shooting percentage suffered (dropping from .399 as a freshman alongside MAAC MVP Billy Baron to .334 as a sophomore). With better scorers around him, Lewis won't have to be the main scoring threat and won't need to create his own shot nearly as often.
The move to Massachusetts also sends Lewis closer to his hometown of Windsor, Conn. He turns 21 in October.
UMass last advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2013-14.

ROLL RED ROLL – Review by Jennifer Merin
March 4, 2019 March 11, 2019 Jennifer Merin	0 Comments	Cinema Citizen, documentary, nancy schwartman, rape culture, roll red roll, steubenville
Jennifer Merin Nancy Schwartzman's harrowing documentary about the rape of a teenage girl by local high school football players in the 'middle America' community of Steubenville, Ohio, reveals the depth to which rape culture permeates our society. We've seen far too many other such true stories in documentaries chronicling the rape of girls on campus, of women in the military and in the workplace. It must be stopped. Roll Red Roll calls attention to this cultural crisis and should be mandatory viewing for every teenager, parent and educator in America. Read more on CINEMA CITIZEN.

A Dog Called Limbo - Self-titled
Reviewed by Helen on 1st February 2007
"A riff, a riff, my kingdom for a riff. These loonies take the catchiest Kyuss-alike guitar lines and both funk them up and speed them up: this is eccentric british speed stoner.
Fuzzy riff-lead hard rock with a pounding and driving beat, and a hypnotic - almost far eastern - musical quality, especially in the harmonies.
The pummelling retro riffs zip along like an old western on FFWD, and the not too shabby songs only serve to compliment this great little outfit. Maybe not stylistically ground-breaking, this Nottingham quartet still has more than enough quality to set them apart from the crowd. Really Rather exciting."
I thought I'd start this review by quoting one far more experienced in these matters than me - James Gill from Metal Hammer, who gave this demo 9/10 and voted it band of the month back last year. Considering the growth of this stunning band, it's time we gave them some bandwidth.
From the start, I have to be completely honest with you. I know this band. In fact, Tony (the bassist) co-presented Nottingham Trent Rock Society's official radio show RPM (Rock, Punk, Metal) with me last year. The guy's going to be a Daddy soon. We keep in touch. It's all disgustingly coated in the most blatant nepotism.
But I'm afraid you're just going to have to trust me. I personally think that their MySpace profile (myspace.com/adogcalledlimbo) speaks for itself. It's not a smooth, perfect demo, but it's bloody good. My favourite song? Wolf. It's just plain good, and quality speaks for itself. Check it out.
I think the best thing about this album is how it draws on the very best of existing genres. You've got a bit of indie there, a bit of old-school rock, a bit of new, and I dare say a very little punk thrown in for good measure - plus all sorts of added extras. What all this means is that ADCL has a solid base on which to build new structures and new styles of their own. They've done their homework, and they got A*s. Now they're moving on.
The specifics: riffs. Yeah, Gill's 100% right there. The riffs stay in your head all day, sitting in the back of your mind taking Es and throwing mad parties. They're strongly reminiscent of Rage Against The Machine riffs at their finest - the same deep resonance, the same simple decadence, but faster and quirkier. The drumming slots in nicely, with excellent rhythm and the sort of aplomb that makes me suspect the drummer's spinning his sticks at the end of the complicated bits. There's just a little technical genious there.
The one part I didn't quite like about this EP was the end of track three - a little bit of heavy metal vocal styling crept into Murray's performance, and I don't think they need that. It's overegging the gateaux a little bit, and the song doesn't require it. The rest of the vocals are great - just energetic enough to complement the perky, tight style of ADCL: but laid back enough to add an extra dimension to the mix, another flavour to this enticing recipe.
So, overall, a very exciting demo. I particularly like the bass lines. Haha.

                wait();

                for (i = 'A', off_a = 0; i <= 'D'; i++ ,off_a += 1)
                        sprintf(ptr + off_a,"%c",i);

                printf("RESULT:%s \n", ptr);

        } else {
                for (j = 'a', off_b = 4; j <= 'd'; j++, off_b += 1)

                exit(0);

        }
}

i think the RESULT is abcdABCD, but when i run it , it print ABCD, I used gdb to debug it, and write it to a file, the 'a' character is lost. why this happened?
0000000   A   B   C   D  \0   b   c   d  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
0000020  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0  \0
*

A: The sprintf adds a trailing NULL;
Replace
sprintf(ptr + off_a,"%c",i);

with
*(ptr + off_a) = i;

and similarly with the other sprintf.

President Trump said on Twitter yesterday that the U.S. tariffs on China will increase from 10 percent to 25 percent "on Friday." The threat comes as the two countries prepare for trade negotiation talks in Washington this week. [Bloomberg]
In its second weekend, "Avengers: Endgame" joined the $2 billion club at the box office, alongside "Avatar," "Titanic," "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Avengers: Infinity War." Not only that, it is now the movie that reached that milestone most quickly, "obliterating" the old record. [Variety]
From ABC News:
20-minute period
Over a 20-minute period on Saturday, reportedly personally overseen by a binocular-clutching Kim Jong Un, North Korea fired rocket launchers and guided weapons off its coast, including a short-range ballistic missile. While the tests were apparently not in violation of its self-imposed ban on inter-continental ballistic missile tests, the exercise "clearly raises tensions with Washington and Seoul," writes the Post. [The Washington Post]
Nearly 22 minutes
In a similarly tense period thousands of miles east, under the twin spires of Churchill Downs, the Kentucky Derby stewards on Saturday debated the fate of the horse Maximum Security, who, by all initial accounts, had just won the most famous race in the sport. However, Maximum Security "had jumped a puddle on the rain-soaked track and slid to the outside," impeding its equine competitor War of Will. Eventually, after a 22-minute replay review, Maximum Security was disqualified, and Country House, a 65-1 long-shot, was declared the winner. [The New York Times]
4.3-mile journey
Thailand's King Maha Vajiralongkorn, crowned this weekend, made a grand public appearance yesterday, carried on "a golden palanquin by soldiers in ancient fighting uniforms." He was carried on a five-hour, 4.3-mile journey, to be exact, visiting three prominent Buddhist temples before being carried back to the Grand Palace. While the king wore heavy gold vestments and a feathered hat, onlookers favored yellow shirts, "a color closely associated with the monarchy." Criticism of the king is punishable by up to 15 years in prison, the AP reports. [Associated Press]
3 spinoffs
According to author George R. R. Martin, HBO is working on three "Game of Thrones" spinoffs. He wrote that there had been "five different 'Game of Thrones' successor shows in development (I mislike the term 'spinoffs') at HBO, and three of them are still moving forward nicely." I mislike the term "successor shows," but I do look forward to forgetting who the thousands of new characters are. [CNN]

John Henry Hayes (14 October 1887 – 25 April 1941) was a British police officer, trade unionist and politician. After serving in the Metropolitan Police, he became general secretary of the National Union of Police and Prison Officers. In 1923, he became the first Labour Member of Parliament in Liverpool when he was elected to represent Edge Hill. From 1929 to 1931, he served in government as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household.

Early life and police career
Hayes was born on 14 October 1887 in Wolverhampton to policeman John William Hayes and his wife Sarah Inchley. He married Ethel Stroudley in 1913 and they had one daughter.

He joined the administrative staff of the Metropolitan Police in 1909. He became known for speaking for officer's rights and the right to union organization, and he was an early member of the National Union of Police and Prison Officers. He rose to sergeant, and resigned from the force to become the union's general secretary 1919. The Police Act 1919 made union membership unlawful and Hayes led the 1919 strike it failed to gain widespread support and striking officers were dismissed, leaving Hayes devastated.

Politics
The strike received support in Liverpool, and Hayes became involved in the politics of the city. After standing unsuccessfully in the 1919 local elections, he became the Labour Party parliamentary candidate for Liverpool Edge Hill for the 1922 general election. He was defeated by the Conservative incumbent, but won the seat during the 1923 by-election to become the first Labour Member of Parliament in Liverpool and the first policeman to sit in the Commons. In the 1924 government he became Parliamentary Private Secretary to Pensions Minister Frederick Roberts, and he was a member of the party's national executive in 1926 and 1927. He served as a whip from 1925 to 1931, including as Vice-Chamberlain of the Household in the second Ramsay MacDonald ministry, 1929–1931.

He refused to join the National Government of 1931, and lost his seat in the October election later that year. He ran again in 1935 but was unsuccessful, leading to his political career to rapidly fade.

He died in London on 25 April 1941 after suffering from kidney disease.
