SAN BERNARDINO >> An Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance certification and associates degree from San Bernardino Valley College can mean a starting salary of $17 an hour or more, and up to $60 an hour for experienced employees.
"It'll give you the opportunity to travel the world with airlines or other companies," said Tom Teeguarden, aeronautics instructor.
The skills learned in the program, including working with electronics, hydraulics and sheet metal are in demand in multiple industries, he said.
"You don't have to necessarily work in aviation, but you are very employable," Teeguarden said.
But the program, which currently has about 40 students in various stages, may be at risk, according to several instructors.
The program's last full-time instructor quit just before the start of the fall semester and the money allocated for his position was used to hire a full-time instructor in a different department, leaving part-time adjuncts to carry the load.
"Each time (a full-time instructor) quits, they replaced them with part-time adjuncts," Teeguarden said. "We had that money allocated for a professor, because (he) was going to be there … and now it's gone."
Faculty hiring decisions are voted upon by representatives of several departments, according to Albert Maniaol, dean of the Applied Technology, Transportation and Culinary Arts department.
"The position (was) open and it's up for grabs, but it has to go through a needs assessment by the college," he said.
A new full-time aeronautics instructor was approved last time, Maniaol said, but it was ninth on the wish list when there was only enough money for eight hires.
"The only remedy, temporary fix for the spring, is to hire (part-time) adjunct faculty," he said.
The department plans to hire three of them.
"A full-timer is better, because you have continuity," Maniaol said, "but because of budget issues, that's not happening right now."
In the meantime, Teeguarden worries that other programs may poach SBVC instructors with full-time position offers and the students will follow suit.
"This could easily fall apart tomorrow, and then the program's dead," he said.

...kind of what the doc should read.
In attached clip, a lever is used to return the spring loaded carriage to its type begin position. It is a lever and not just a handle, because it is hinged onto the carriage, and on pushing, it first turns the rubber print drum by the set amount of 1..1-1/2..2 lines (nicely seen in 3rd clip). The demonstrator in this video uses the Tab key - most type writers had one to the left and one to the right - to move the carriage from one tab to the next. This were of course all left tabs, settable at any position. So are the left and right margins.

She keeps the dead in her cupboards. Thousands of souls trapped inside glassware jars and earthen pots. When the weather turns cold, they gnash imaginary teeth and rattle their prisons.
Cold seeps in through cracks in her plaster walls. It cuts between the glass and wood of her unglazed window panes. It inches across stone counter-tops and slips past heavy oak doors. The dead feel it in remembered bones. If they could, they would shatter their bonds and tear her to pieces. She pays them no mind. It is not her place to placate the dead. She is merely their keeper.
They arrive in wood-slated crates, dozens at a time, and are left sitting outside on her covered porch, set beneath the hanging lantern that flickers and shorts in the wind. She does not know where they come from. There is no one to ask. She finds them there in the morning and brings them inside, carrying the crates into her kitchen, where she places them atop age-worn linoleum and unpacks them with care.
There is always room in her cupboards. She thought at first she would run out, they seemed so endless, but there is always space, no matter how many she finds sitting outside. She stacks them in threes, caressing their vessels as she does, the last rite of the damned. For her troubles, they scream and howl and drive ice into her fingertips.
Her life is static. Only the seasons change. In springtime, the sweet scent of lilac permeates the air. The dead are still, as close to peace as she imagines them capable. When the sun is warm and the wind calm, she opens the cupboards and the windows and lets the scent carry throughout the house. She has spent the whole of winter locked inside with them, so she takes the opportunity to escape. She slips outside and walks among peeking crocuses. She revels in the sight of green. She slips bare toes into the creek that marks the boundary of her property. The water, not long thawed, turns her skin blue.
When the last of the snow has finally melted away, she tends rose gardens and plants vegetables to harvest in summer. She mends fences and white-washes the garden shed. She breaks the winter's accumulation of crates into pieces and stacks them in the woodshed, to replenish next year's supply of firewood. There is a lull in their arrival.
Spring turns to summer. The air grows sticky with humidity. The dead bleed condensation and whine their discomfort. The days are too hot for the toil of physical labor, so she spends her days indoors, hidden away from the press of the sun, dark velor curtains drawn against its unyielding scrutiny. She does not let the dead linger on her porch, but brings them in as soon as they've arrived, waking sometimes in the dead of night to keep them from scavengers. They fill her cupboards to bursting, but there is always room for more.
Outside, the cicadas sing, and the crickets chirp, and down by the creek bullfrogs compose elaborate symphonies. The air is thick with insects, clouds of gnats and black-fly and mosquito. The sky at night stretches into eternity, broken thousands of times over by tiny pinpricks of light. She watches the endlessness from her second floor balcony, netted against outside invaders, and listens to the songs of night. If she was capable of feeling, she would be restless. Change lingers on the horizon.
The days are still long and hot, but the dead can sense the coming change, too. The nights grow cold and clear. Tension fills the empty spaces of her house. The greens of summer fade and her gardens begin to wither. The first flush of color touches the leaves of the oaks that line her winding lane. The dead rattle her cupboards.
She takes their cue, and begins the steady process of preparing for winter. The windows are shuttered and the firewood chopped. The gardens are harvested, their contents canned and preserved. The house fills with the scent of sumac and freshly baked bread and apple jelly. She fills her cold cellar and washes her linen, hanging it out in the late summer breeze. The dead grow louder. They greet newcomers with suspicion and hostility. Their hatred for her renews.
She no longer has names for the passing months. Her life is measured in seasons. When the chill of approaching winter paints the land in frost, she marks another year passed in chalk on the side of her wood stove. Without the tiny hashes, she would have lost count thousands of years ago. The seasons march steadily on, and yet she is doomed to this cycle, to the steady press of time unending. She is the keeper of the dead, and they are her damnation.
The first flush of spring's warmth brings a new cycle, the same one she has lived countless times, and yet, there is something different in the slow melt of this winter's snow. She watches it through her kitchen window, already open to catch the impending scent of lilac. There is something coiled in her chest, some unnamed emotion, which makes her antsy in a way she has never been.
She goes outside to seek the peeking crocuses.
And finds a set of footprints in the quickly melting snow.
She can no longer remember what it is to know another being. For as long as she can remember there has only been her and the dead. But these are not her footprints. They belong to another, though search as she might, she cannot find their source. She scours her property; searches the woodshed and the house and through the thick grass that borders the creek. She finds no other trace of life, no other footprints.
The last trace of winter melts away, taking with it any proof that she might not have been alone. She begins tending to her gardens and breaking apart wooden crates. It is days before she realizes the dead have stopped arriving.
She wakes one morning and stands on her porch, staring out over the horizon, trying desperately to remember the last time a crate arrived. She cannot. Inside, her cupboards are still filled to bursting, but the dead are eerily silent, as though they are waiting for something. She reaches a shaking hand to caress one of the vessels, but in place of ice and hatred, there is only cautious indifference. She draws her hand away as though burnt.
Spring moves steadily into summer and her porch remains bare. The first of the year's cicadas begin their song, humidity creeping into the air before a crate next arrives. When she sees it, she is so overcome with relief, she sags to her knees at it side.
It is a long while before she is capable of carrying the crate into her kitchen. She sets it atop her linoleum and pries it open with more care than she has ever given another. Inside, she finds a single earthen pot, worn smooth by the press of time. It is covered in elaborate scroll-work, so unlike the others it steals her breath.
She runs fingertips across the script, but the language is one she has long forgotten. The vessel lifts with ease, seeming weightless in her hand. She marvels at its warmth; at its silence. She does not know what to do with it, so she places it on the counter top and tries not to think of it again. Her resolve lasts until the morning she finds a man sitting at her kitchen table.
It is the first living soul she has seen in many, many long years. She is stunned by his presence, but soon she remembers her manners and offers to make him tea. The man accepts and she begins the steady process of boiling water and rinsing her teapot.
"Why are you here?" she asks when they are seated, sipping from steaming cups, the remainder of the pot on the table between them. It is the first she has spoken in longer than she can remember. She had forgotten the sound of her voice.
Inside her cupboards, the dead are still, listening. She can feel their anxiety.
"I am your replacement," the man answers.
She does not understand. She has been in this place so long she can no longer recall a life before it. The view out her kitchen window shows a never-ending expanse of green. Has she ever known another place? She struggles now to remember how she came to be here, and finds she cannot. What lies beyond her fields is a mystery.
"Am I leaving?" she asks, uncertain. She has wished to leave this place many times, though she has no notion of where she might go.
The man sets his tea down on the table. The cup clinks against its saucer. The tiny blue flowers of its pattern have faded and there is a chip missing from its rim. The man's expression is blank, but his words are soothing.
"Yes," he says. "Your time has ended, just as mine someday will. You have been in my place, now you belong in theirs." He nods to the cupboards, to the elaborately carved, empty vessel that still sits on her counter top.
Her teacup shatters against the floor, her chair skidding back as she stands. One of its legs gouges a scratch in the linoleum. It is not the only such mark.
"No," she says, suddenly desperate to remain, but it is already too late.
She can feel her ties to this world breaking. The man slowly pushes back his chair. He stands and walks to the counter top, removing the lid from her vessel. She stares at it even as she reaches a trembling hand toward it. She can no longer see her fingertips. They have turned to mist. The world around her fades.
She feels warm hands cradling her as she is lifted from the counter top and placed inside the cupboard. For one brief moment, she is overwhelmed by the scent of lilac. It dissipates with the closing of the cupboard. She howls her frustration and throws herself against the walls of her prison. Her brethren join her lament. The cupboards rattle. The man ignores them. It is not his place to placate the dead. He is merely their keeper.

Q: Вызов функции с непределенными заранее параметрами Подскажите, как вызвыть функцию с параметрами не определенными заранее. То есть у меня есть массив например int arr[15], и я хочу передать все элементы массива как параметры. Но проблема в том, что массив может быть любого размера. Функции имеют вид int a(int a, int b, int c...), требуется вызвать их имея этот массив. Конечно можно передать массив в функцию и не заниматься лишней работой, однако хочется упростить написание функций и сделать нормальные параметры, а не вытаскивание значений из массива.
Последний раз я решал такую порблему через ассемблерные вставки параметров функции и ее вызов. Возможно есть более простой метод?
UPD. Все же мне интересно, почему нельзя сказать компилятору, что хочу вызвать функцию void* test, с плавающим числом параметров, вот их количество и вот указатели на переменные. Через ассемблер это делается легко. Не сильно опаснее va_list.
A: Пример с variadric templates в дополнение к ответу @gecube:
Скажу сразу, их так лучше не использовать =) векторы и массивы лучше обходятся постаринке. В целом очень похоже на va_list, поэтому это не совсем то, что хотел ТС.
int sum() { // конец рекурсивно-шаблонной вакханалии
    return 0;
}

template<typename T, typename... Args>
int sum(T value, Args... args) { // функция вида "один элемент и все оставшиеся"
    // складываем тот элемент, что знаем, и вызываем себя для всех остальных элементов
    return value + sum(args...);
}

// вызов функции
std::cout << sum(5, 3, 4, 5, 2, 3, 5);

Попробовать на Ideone
Еще один вариант, но с std::initializer_list<>. Запустить на Ideone. Выглядит так:
int sum(std::initializer_list<int > intarray) {
    return std::accumulate(std::begin(intarray), std::end(intarray), 0);
}

int main() {
    std::cout << sum({1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7}) << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

A: В любом случае, без указателей не обойтись. Принципиальных способов решения проблемы два:

*

*Передача в ф-цию указателя и размера массива: int func (int *arr, int size); Концепция такая же как у стандартных ф-ций работы с памятью и строками (memset, memcpy и пр.)

*Использование специальной возможности создания ф-ций с переменным числом аргументов. Для этого нужно применить механизм va_list. Дрянь редкостная, но работает. Следует обратить внимание (особое!) на проверку того, что получено столько аргументов, сколько нужно, иначе привет разрушения стека.

*Если размер массива фиксирован сверху, то можно сделать серию ф-ций с разным числом аргументов.

вот так:
int func(int a);
int func(int a, int b);
int func(int a, int b, int c);
....

Компилятор сам выберет нужную. Или можно задействовать механизм параметров по умолчанию:
int func(int a, int b = 0, int c = 0, int d = 0) // и т.д.

В этом случае все неиспользованные параметры ф-ции будут инициализированы теми значения, которые укажет программист.
Также отмечу, что для генерации однотипных ф-ций можно использовать макросы или шаблоны.

A: На твоём месте я бы засунул всё в вектор и не парился бы.
#define ARRAY_SIZE(arr)   ( sizeof(arr) / sizeof arr[0] )

void CallMethodWithVector(const std::vector<int> &refParams)
{
    //do what you want here with your params
}

void CallerFunction(void)
{
    int arr[15];

    // ......
    std::vector<int> aParams(arr, arr + ARRAY_SIZE(arr) )
    CallMethodWithVector(aParams)
}

Если тип параметров заранее не известен, то просто сделаешь CallMethodWithVector шаблоном.
A: Нужно было сделать так:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

// Берем функцию:
int test(int a, char *b, double c){
    printf("%d %s %f", a, b, c);
    return 0;
}

// Делаем прототип:
typedef int (*callfunc)(...);

// И пишем код:
int main(int args, char* arg[]){
    // параметры функции, которые хотим передать.
    double d=11; int str[4]={15, (unsigned int)"text"}; memcpy(str+2, &d, 8);

    // структура, которая будет полностью скопирована в стек. Если передавать str, то будет передан указатель, а нам нужно передать именно данные.
    struct efunc_s{ unsigned int a[4]; };

    // получаем адрес функции.
    callfunc cf=(callfunc)test;

    // Приводим в вид, который будет скопирован в стек.
    efunc_s &s=*(efunc_s*)&str;

   // вызываем функцию
    (*cf)(s);

    return 0;
}

Под g++ собирать с -m32.
UPD. Комментарии больше не добавляются.
@VladD, я пишу под MSVC, тут все работает. Под 64 бита оно падает. Чуть поправил, но параметры передаются не так. Clang обойдется. -O3 работает, в студии тоже. Остальную оптимизацию можно убрать ради работоспособности. В принципе, если тип данных будет один, то можно и написать эти 50 функций, но покане хочется отказываться от возможности вызывать функцию с разными типами данных.
@gecube, нет, не этих внешних функций. Есть интерпретируемый язык программирования, в него можно подключить функции, скажем print(string str), задача вызвать ее. Учитывая, что таких функций может быть много с их вызовом начинаются сложности.
@gecube именно, язык Шредингера. Именно поэтому я не воспользовался передачей параметров в виде массива, но мне все равно нужен способ вызывать их. Интерпретация или компиляция, на выбор.

Introduction: There was no previous study to assess relationship between dry eye symptoms and signs in the local population. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship of symptomatic assessment and clinical signs of dryness in dry eye subjects. Materials and method: A Cross-sectional study with convenient sampling involving 321 subjects with 642 eyes was done. Subjects were divided into non-dry eye (NDE) and dry eye (DE) groups. The division of NDE and DE groups were done using two types of classification. In Classification 1(symptoms-based), DE was defined if the score of Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) score was more than 33. The value of tear film break-up time (TFBUT) less than 5 seconds and Schirmer test with anaesthesia (STA) less than 5mm/5 minutes were considered as DE for Classification 2 (signs based). Results: There were poor correlations between OSDI and clinical signs of dryness in all subjects involved (p > 0.05). Similar findings were also noted within NDE subjects in Classification 1 and Classification 2. OSDI score was also not significantly correlated with the signs of dryness within DE subjects except with ocular protection index (OPI) (r = -0.14, p = 0.047) in Classification 1 and with conjunctival lissamine green staining (CLGS)(r = 0.23, p = 0.040) in Classification 2. Conclusion: There were no significant correlation between the symptoms of dry eye and the clinical signs of dry eye. Therefore, the clinical diagnosis of dry eye can be made based on either just on the symptoms or the signs.

Exploring the world of rare earth metals<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
More common metals such as gold, silver, iron, zinc, lead and copper are well-documented in financial pages such as this, and for good reason. But let's focus for a moment or so on the lesser-known rare earth metals, those materials with many applications in our daily lives, investing in whose makers can boost the portfolios of those with an eye for value.
Molybdenum is a transition metal that does not react with oxygen or water at room temperature. The ability of molybdenum to withstand extreme temperatures without significantly expanding or softening make it useful in applications that involve intense heat, such as aircraft parts, electrical contacts, industrial motors, and filaments.
One company hard at finding and developing molybdenum is British Columbia-based United Bolero Development Corp., which trades on the TSX Venture under the symbol UNB. Besides its mining enterprises, United had also been busy in the oil patch, but scaled back those activities by the end of 2005, to focus almost exclusively on being a junior mineral exploration company.
UNB currently has options to purchase 100% interests in two properties in southwestern Montana. One of them, the Bald Butte property, has 22 patented claims comprising about 350 acres. Mining there began in June of this year. The deposit at Bald Butte shows an inferred resource of 105 million tons at a high grade of molybdenum.
Another property, elsewhere in the state, has been subject to previous explorations by other companies that have proven rich in molybdenite property.
The burgeoning market for molybdenum should be good news for those looking to snap up potentially strong stocks at low prices. UNB fortunes tailed off a bit from its 52-week peak over the 90-cent Canadian mark during May. At the beginning of August, the stock sat around 60 cents. While out of its 20-cent gully from this time last year, UNB is still very affordable.
Rare earth metals such as lithium are in higher demand, due to the exploding market for hybrid cars. Neodynium is also enjoying a surge for its place in the hybrid car market. Lithium ion is a key component in rechargeable batteries while neodymium is used to make the super magnets integral to hybrid and electric car technology.
All this is good news for such rare earth metal producers as Toronto-based Avalon Ventures Ltd. Avalon, whose shares trade on the TSX Venture under the symbol AVL, focuses on metals in increasing demand in high technology and environment-friendly applications, including lithium and neodymium, as well as calcium feldspar and beryllium, the latter of which can be used in copper alloys found in electronic products.
Avalon owns five rare metals and mineral projects in Canada, three of them in advanced development. Its Separation Rapids project in northwestern Ontario is hard at work producing lithium, while the Warren Township property, in northeastern Ontario, specializes in calcium feldspar. Its Thor Lake beryllium project, in the Northwest Territories, is home to a high-grade beryllium silicate mineral.
AVL enjoyed a leap in net revenues in fiscal year 2006 to $87,588 Canadian from $414 the year before. Total assets experienced a 50%-plus hike to $6.9 million. AVL stock prices have achieved a five-year peak of $2.21 Canadian in July, after plumbing to a 52-week low of 70 cents Canadian last fall.
Tungsten, though not widely known, is prized for a hardness ranking behind only diamonds, world-leading heat resistance density (greater than lead or uranium) and environmentally-friendly qualities; it neither breaks down nor decomposes.
Tungsten is found in sporting goods (most notably golf clubs and sports fishing weights), jet turbine engines, light bulb filaments and high-speed cutting tools.
Vancouver-based North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd., trading on the TSX Venture under the symbol NTC, is a Tier One junior resource company engaging in mining, developing and acquiring tungsten and other mineral-related properties in Canada. Its 100%-owned Cantung mine and Mactung development project in the Northwest and Yukon Territories make it one of the few tungsten producers with a strategic asset in the western world.
Production in recent months has taken off for NTC, jumping 20% from March to April of this year to a record 30,000 metric tonnes of tungsten concentrate. Unaudited sales figures came in for the first three quarters of fiscal 2007 at nearly $40 million U.S., compared to $45.1 million for all of fiscal 2006.
North American Tungsten reported $51.4 million in revenues at the end of fiscal 2006, a quantum leap from the $158,000 the previous year. NTC stock traded in early August in the $1.35 Canadian range, creating a new 52-week peak, and a far cry from 50-cent Canadian ditch in which it found itself last November.
Simply put, the bargains are out there. Companies like the ones just mentioned are avidly seeking to bring these metals to the surface and make them part of our lives.


It's been a while since I've posted about a Norwich Blogger Event so when I got an email a few months ago saying there was an event happening in July I couldn't wait to go. This time I didn't have to go alone and invited along fellow blogger Kim. We paid a small fee for our tickets and eagerly awaited the day to arrive.
We turned up just before 2 and already it was very busy in The Mash Tun where the event took place. The first thing I saw when I walked in were some delicious looking cupcakes from Milk & Moss Coffee which is on St Benedicts Street in Norwich. They had been topped with the Norwich Bloggers logo and an edible flower and we could choose between Double Vanilla or Salted Caramel. All of the cupcakes were vegan and gluten free and absolutely delicious. I went for the Salted Caramel. I did find it difficult to eat without making a mess as it was such a big cake, then I noticed there were actually spoons on display that we could have used – oops! I will definitely be heading to Milk & Moss to see if I can get some cakes to take away, it's great that they can cater for those with allergies.
I then headed over to the Lisa Angel stall as I absolutely love Lisa Angel products. They were very kindly giving each blogger a piece of jewellery! I chose a gorgeous dainty necklace as I loved the marble accent on the little triangle. They had some lovely necklaces, bracelets and earrings up for grabs and it was really generous of them to let us take home a lovely piece of jewellery. I also have a 10% discount code for you guys so if you'd like some discount, head over to Lisa Angel and use code LANWCH15 for 10% off (expires 10/09/16).
I also loved the little quirky stall, White Rabbit Gifts. I thought the pieces were adorable. I am really regretting not buying some Beanies coffee. They had a lovely selection of gifts, I wish I had brought more money with me!
I then headed for the next stall which was the Exposed stall run by the lovely ladies from Just Essentials. They kindly gave us a goodie bag which contained some goodies including false eyelashes, glue, a makeup brush and some nail varnish which I will most definitely get some use out of! I am often popping into Just Essentials for their temporary hair dye and I will be checking out the Exposed range next time too. FYFO were also displaying some of the shoes they have for sale. We also received some frizz serum from The Curl Company.
We also met the lovely Holly from Benefit in House of Fraser who gave us a gorgeous Benefit Passport Cover and Benefit Sample. The passport cover had the Golden Gate Bridge depicted on it which was ironically the last holiday I went on. I can't wait to use this for future trips. I also spoke to a couple of lovely ladies from Jarrolds who took my details. They want to get more involved with bloggers which is great news and I'd love to be included in any future events. Kate from Arbonne was also at the event showcasing some of the items available. Kim had a massage from Neals Yard Remedies and was also lucky enough to win a lovely hamper filled with goodies!
It was lovely to speak to fellow bloggers Laura, Claire (thank you for picking up my business cards when I decided to drop them on the floor!), Kaycee, Laura, Hannah, Emma and Lucinda. Thank you to the Norwich Bloggers , Hannah, Justine and Courteney who kindly organised this event. I really enjoyed meeting new bloggers and networking with brands.
Have you been to a blogger event lately?


The place is a store only. Has a humidor, but doesn't cater to cigar smokers. They carry a middle of the road, & big name brands only. This is a need a stick in a pinch kind of store. The owner is nice. I rate it 3 stars because of having a humidor not just a case & because they have no lounge to sit. When I say lounge, I'd be fine with 2-3 chairs to sit talk.

Doctor Who? BBC reveals 14th Doctor will be Ncuti Gatwa, taking over for Jodie Whittaker
Say hello to the new Doctor.

We've known for a while that Jodie Whittaker would be departing Doctor Who this year, and now we finally know who will take her place with the keys to the TARDIS.
The BBC has confirmed actor Ncuti Gatwa, best known for his award-winning role in Sex Education, will be the 14th Doctor when Whittaker regenerates out of the role. The casting makes Gatwa the second Black actor to play The Doctor, following the 2020 introduction of Jo Martin as a "lost" earlier iteration of the Doctor dubbed the Fugitive Doctor. But this will mark the first time a Black actor has starred as the Doctor to lead the series.
"There aren't quite the words to describe how I'm feeling. A mix of deeply honoured, beyond excited and of course a little bit scared. This role and show means so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care. I will endeavour my utmost to do the same," Gatwa said in a statement. "[Returning showrunner] Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself and being able to work with him is a dream come true. His writing is dynamic, exciting, incredibly intelligent and fizzing with danger. An actor's metaphorical playground. The entire team has been so welcoming and truly give their hearts to the show. And so as much as it's daunting, I'm aware I'm joining a really supportive family. Unlike the Doctor, I may only have one heart but I am giving it all to this show."
Davies added that fans will have plenty to look forward to over the next year and a half, with the looming sendoff for Whittaker's Doctor and the exciting introduction on Ncuti — who he reveals won the role quickly following his first auditions for Who.
"The future is here and it's Ncuti! Sometimes talent walks through the door and it's so bright and bold and brilliant, I just stand back in awe and thank my lucky stars. Ncuti dazzled us, seized hold of the Doctor and owned those TARDIS keys in seconds," he said. "It's an honour to work with him, and a hoot, I can't wait to get started. I'm sure you're dying to know more, but we're rationing ourselves for now, with the wonderful Jodie's epic finale yet to come. But I promise you, 2023 will be spectacular!"
Work on the next season of Doctor Who with Ncuti is expected to get underway later this year, ahead of a formal 2023 debut. But of course, fans should get their first look at Ncuti in the role when Whittaker regenerates in her final special later this year.

Q: How to access all ringtones from iPhone and Populate in UIPickerview? Is it possible to get accessing all the ring tones. I need to display the name of the ring tones in UIPickerview then user can select and set as ring tone. Any Ideas?

A: Apple currently doesn't allow  you to play any alerts in the iPhone OS nor can you access the user's ringtones. You would have to provide your own ringtones for your application.

A: The system ringtones are not available in the current iOS SDK. If you want that functionality, you'll need to file an enhancement request for it.

Q: Trying to use std::aligned_storage with SSE and new I wanted to try getting a square root of some floats using SSE instrincs in C++. But I get a exception when I try to store the result. Can I use std::aligned_storage like that?
#include <iostream>
#include <type_traits>
#include <xmmintrin.h>
using namespace std;

using float_storage = aligned_storage<4 * sizeof(float), 16>;

int main()
{
    int N;
    cin >> N;

    float_storage * values = new float_storage[ N / 4 ]; // 4 floats in pack

    for(int i = 0; i < N / 4; i++)
    {
        void *vptr = static_cast<void*>(&values[i]);
        float *fptr = static_cast<float*>(vptr);

        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
            cin >> fptr[i];
    }

    for(int i = 0; i < N / 4; i++)
    {
        void *vptr = static_cast<void*>(&values[i]);
        float *fptr = static_cast<float*>(vptr);
        __m128 x = _mm_loadu_ps(fptr);
        x = _mm_sqrt_ps(x);
        _mm_store_ps(fptr, x); // im getting an crash here
    }

    for(int i = 0; i < N / 4; i++)
    {
        void *vptr = static_cast<void*>(&values[i]);
        float *fptr = static_cast<float*>(vptr);

        for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
            cout << fptr[i] << endl;
    }

    delete[] values;
}

A: It's aligned_storage<size, align>::type. aligned_storage itself is just a metaprogramming struct.
Also, new is only rated to std::max_align_t, if I recall correctly, even if you new up a type with higher alignment requirements.

Sex-related reduced weight gains in growing swine fed diets containing deoxynivalenol
L. M. Cote, V. R. Beasley, P. M. Bratich, S. P. Swanson, H. L. Shivaprasad, W. B. Buck
Veterinary and Biomedical Sciences
A 5-wk feeding trial was conducted with 30 castrated male and 28 female, 5-wk-old crossbred piglets. Three different deoxynivalenol (DON) and zearalenone (Z)-contaminated diets were fed: 0.7, 3.1 and 5.8 ppm DON and 0, .05, and .1 ppm Z, respectively. The animals were fed their respective diets for 4 wk followed by the .7:0-ppm diet during wk 5. Feed intake and weight gain varied in a manner reciprocal to the levels of DON-Z in the diets during the first 4 wk (P < .05). The castrated males had an overall lower weight gain compared with the females receiving the same diet (P < .05). Gross postmortem changes were not different in either sex and tended to be most prominent in the pigs fed for the lower DON:Z-contaminated diets after the first week, although they were seen in pigs fed the higher DON:Z diets after 4 wk of feeding. Lesions included mild to moderated reddening of the fundic mucosa of the stomach, reddening of the mucosa of the small intestine, and mild to moderate enlargement and edema of the mesenteric lymph nodes. Similarly, the severity of histologic changes tended to vary inversely with the concentrations of DON:Z in the diets after the first week but varied with the concentrations of DON:Z after 4 wk. They consisted of vascular congestion with mild to moderate multifocal erosions and degeneration of the mucosa in the stomach and small intestine. Mild to moderate lymphoid degeneration and depletion were also observed in the Peyer's patches of the intestines, bronchial and mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, tonsil and thymus. Deoxynivalenol was found in the plasma, urine and gastrointestinal contents. Only trace amounts (<50 ppb) of the parent compound were detected in the tissues analyzed. It is proposed that DON, not Z, was the cause of these effects.
