Hans-Otto "H.O." Hiestermann (* 7. Januar 1949 in Hermannsburg) ist ein ehemaliger deutscher Fußballspieler. Der Stürmer hat in der Saison 1975/76 beim 1. FC Köln in der Fußball-Bundesliga neun Spiele (1 Tor) absolviert. Davor war er beim 1. FC Nürnberg in der 2. Fußball-Bundesliga Süd 1974/75 in 37 Ligaspielen aufgelaufen und hatte vier Tore für den Club erzielt. Nach Köln folgte beim Würzburger FV eine weitere Station in der 2. Bundesliga Süd, in welcher Hiestermann von 1976 bis 1979 in 77 Zweitligaspielen fünf Tore erzielte.

Laufbahn

Amateurnationalmannschaft, 1974–1975
Der 1,68 m große Fußballer Hans-Otto Hiestermann ist in Hermannsburg, Landkreis Celle, in der Lüneburger Heide aufgewachsen und hat beim dortigen TuS Hermannsburg in der seit 1924 bestehenden Fußballabteilung das Fußballspielen gelernt und auch bis zum Bundeswehreinzug 1969 ausgeübt. Seinen Grundwehrdienst leistete der Niedersachse in Fürstenfeldbruck und schloss sich deshalb auch dem dortigen Bayernligisten SC Fürstenfeldbruck an. Seine Dribbelfähigkeit mit kurzen, schnellen Richtungsänderungen, brachte den Flügelstürmer rasch in die Bayerische Amateurauswahl. Als er in der Saison 1973/74 mit Fürstenfeldbruck den fünften Rang erreicht hatte, wurde der DFB auf den Flügelstürmer aufmerksam. Am 26. April 1974 debütierte der Angreifer in der Amateurnationalmannschaft des DFB. DFB-Trainer Jupp Derwall brachte ihn in Rijeka im Halbfinale gegen die Niederlande im Rahmen des UEFA Amateur Cup als Einwechselspieler für Ewald Hammes zum Einsatz. Das Spiel endete 1:1 n. V. und im Elfmeterschießen setzte sich das DFB-Team mit 4:2 Toren durch. Durch wetterbedingte Umstände konnte das Finale nicht ausgetragen werden und die UEFA erklärte Finalgegner Jugoslawien wie Deutschland zum gemeinsamen Sieger. Hiestermann unterschrieb zur Saison 1974/75 beim 1. FC Nürnberg einen Vertrag und wechselte damit in die 2. Bundesliga. Er blieb in dieser Saison aber noch Amateur und absolvierte vom 25. September 1974 bis 8. Juli 1975 in der Amateurnationalmannschaft noch acht weitere Länderspiele. Im April 1975 kam der Club-Angreifer beispielsweise in den zwei Olympia-Qualifikationsspielen gegen Spanien (0:0, 2:3) zum Einsatz und Anfang Juli 1975 bestritt er seine zwei letzten Amateurländerspiele auf einer Asienreise mit Spielen gegen China (1:1) und Singapur (4:1).

Nürnberg, Köln, Würzburg, 1975 bis 1979
Der 1. FC Nürnberg gewann für die Debütrunde der 2. Bundesliga 1974/75 mit Hans Walitza vom VfL Bochum einen umworbenen Bundesligatorjäger und aus den vormaligen zweitklassigen Regionalligen kamen noch Torhüter Franz Schwarzwälder (SV Alsenborn), Ulrich Pechtold (FC Bayern Hof), Günter von de Fenn (Jahn Regensburg), Wolfgang Holoch (Stuttgarter Kickers), Karlheinz Meininger (1860 München) und der Bayernligaspieler Hiestermann vom SC Fürstenfeldbruck hinzu. Unter Trainer Hans Tilkowski debütierte der Amateurnationalspieler am Rundenstarttag, den 4. August 1974, bei einer 0:2-Niederlage beim FC Augsburg sofort in der 2. Liga. Neben Stammspielern wie Manfred Rüsing, Kurt Geinzer, Dieter Nüssing, Rudi Sturz und Dietmar Schabacker absolvierte Hiestermann 37 Ligaspiele und erzielte vier Tore. Der Club belegte den sechsten Rang. Mit schwachen 10:28 Auswärtspunkten verpasste Nürnberg die Spitzenränge. Hiestermann war aber der Bundesliga aufgefallen und nahm das Angebot des 1. FC Köln, nachdem sich Köln mit Nürnberg geeinigt hatte, zur Saison 1975/76 an.

In der Domstadt am Rhein war Zlatko Čajkovski als Trainer tätig. Das Geißbock-Team war mit selbstbewussten Stars wie Toni Schumacher, Bernhard Cullmann, Herbert Hein, Harald Konopka, Wolfgang Weber, Gerd Strack, Heinz Flohe, Herbert Neumann, Wolfgang Overath, Heinz Simmet, Jürgen Glowacz und Dieter Müller gespickt. Torjäger Johannes Löhr wollte seine Laufbahn beenden. Von welchem Neuzugang, neben Hiestermann nahm der FC auch noch Matthias Brücken, Roland Gerber, Miodrag Petrović, Dieter Prestin und Günter Weber neu unter Vertrag, tatsächlich das Aufrücken in die Stammbesetzung erwartet wurde, das erschließt sich bei der Konkurrenz im Spielerkader nicht auf den ersten Blick. Keiner der Neuzugänge kam 1975/76 auf eine zweistellige Einsatzzahl. Brücken (9-2) und Hiestermann (9-1) führten die Liste der Einsätze bei den Neuzugängen an. Alle neun Einsätze von Hiestermann erfolgten unter Cajkovski. Als dieser am 13. Dezember 1975 entlassen wurde und am 1. Januar 1976 durch Ex-Nationalspieler Georg Stollenwerk ersetzt wurde, Hiestermann sich auch noch mit Achillessehnenproblemen herumschlug und Löhr schon längst wieder aktiv war, kamen keine weiteren Einsätze mehr hinzu. Als nach der Trainingsübernahme von Hennes Weisweiler zur Saison 1976/77 die Einsatzchancen sich eher noch verschlechterten, ging Hiestermann eine Liga zurück und schloss sich dem Würzburger FV in der 2. Bundesliga Süd an.

Sein Debüt fand für Würzburg aber unter denkbar ungünstigen Umständen statt: Sein neuer Verein verlor bei seinem ersten Einsatz am 12. September 1976 das Auswärtsspiel bei den Stuttgarter Kickers mit 1:8 Toren. Unter den Trainern Herbert Wenz und Werner Bickelhaupt – Wenz wurde im März 1977 durch Bickelhaupt ersetzt – belegte Würzburg am Rundenende den 13. Rang; der Neuzugang aus Köln hatte an der Seite von Mitspielern wie Siegfried Scherzer (Torhüter), Walter Szaule, Friedhelm Groppe, Heinz-Dieter Lömm, Bernd Göbel, Lothar Emmerich, Heribert Müller, Klaus Sterz, Hans Schmidradner und Max Müller 32 Ligaspiele mit zwei Toren absolviert. In der zweiten Saison in Würzburg, 1977/78, erreichte die Nullvierer unter Trainer Rudolf Kröner den 11. Rang. Die beiden Lokalderbys gegen Kickers Würzburg endeten 2:2 und 4:0. Hiestermann absolvierte 31 Spiele mit drei Toren. In seiner dritten Saison 1978/79 waren durch Achillessehnenprobleme nur noch 14 Ligaspiele für ihn möglich gewesen. Sein letztes Zweitligaspiel bestritt er am 19. November 1978 bei einer 1:3-Heimniederlage gegen den SC Freiburg.

Als Fußballspieler war Hans-Otto Hiestermann durchaus ein begabter Mann, der sich zwar in der Bundesliga beim 1. FC Köln unter Trainer Georg Stollenwerk nicht durchsetzen konnte, in der 2. Bundesliga war er jedoch ein verlässlicher und solider Spieler für den 1. FC Nürnberg und nach seiner Kölner Zeit auch beim Würzburger FV.

Seit 1991 lebt und arbeitet Hans-Otto Hiestermann in Tübingen als Tennistrainer des TC Tübingen und Leiter einer Tennisschule. Fußball interessiert ihn kaum noch, sagt er.

Q: Why different DatagramSocket constructors behave so different? (BindException) I'm building a program that will connect every computer in my LAN to my computer, through DatagramSocket's and DatagramPacket's (in other words, I'll be the server and the others will be clients). I made some research and read the documentation, and found out how it worked, and I've actually been able to send and recieve data across the network. I had two options for the data sending method in the client class, which I thought were equivalent, but it seems not.
The first one (Client1):
DatagramSocket socket = null;
DatagramPacket packet = null;

try
{
     byte[] data= "test".getBytes();
     packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.26"), 325);
     socket = new DatagramSocket();
     socket.send(packet);
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
     ...
 }

And the second one (Client2):
DatagramSocket socket = null;
DatagramPacket packet = null;

try
{
     byte[] data= "test".getBytes();
     packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length);
     socket = new DatagramSocket(325, InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.26"));
     socket.send(packet);
 }
 catch (Exception ex)
 {
     ...
 }

These two options came when I was making tests sending data to and from my own PC. My IP address is 192.168.0.26. With the first one I had no problems, but the second one throws two kinds of exceptions. I can verify that Client1 works running the next code in the computer at the same time
(Server)
byte data[] = null;
try
{
    data= new byte[1000];
    socket = new DatagramSocket(325);
    packet = new DatagramPacket(datos, datos.length);
    socket.receive(packet);
    System.out.println(datos);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    ...
}

If I run Server first and then the Client1 option, it actually recieves the data. When I run the Client1 first and then the Server, obviously don't get any data but neither get any exceptions. The real problem (and actual question, sorry about so many, perhaps useless, info) is with Client2. If this is ran before Server, I get NullPointerException:
java.lang.NullPointerException: null address || null buffer
at java.net.DualStackPlainDatagramSocketImpl.send(DualStackPlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:115)
at java.net.DatagramSocket.send(DatagramSocket.java:676)

generated when method send() is invoked. I know maybe I should ignore this; even thought I'm a little bit newbie with Socket's, it seems wrong to send data if you know nobody will recieve it. In the other hand, when Server runs first and then Client2, I get BindException:
java.net.BindException: Address already in use: Cannot bind
at java.net.DualStackPlainDatagramSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method)
at java.net.DualStackPlainDatagramSocketImpl.bind0(DualStackPlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:65)
at java.net.AbstractPlainDatagramSocketImpl.bind(AbstractPlainDatagramSocketImpl.java:95)
at java.net.DatagramSocket.bind(DatagramSocket.java:376)
at java.net.DatagramSocket.<init>(DatagramSocket.java:231)
at java.net.DatagramSocket.<init>(DatagramSocket.java:284)

from the line when the socket is initialized.
Due to that Client1 works, I'll use it; but I'd really like to know why does it work but Client2 doesn't. I read in another forum here about that BindException, and I understood it was caused when you attempt to use one port which is already in use, but in this sense Client1 should fail too. Could someone explain me the difference between Client1 and Client2?

A: You are binding to the same port, if you are running it on the same machine/address, you need to bind to different ports.
Like on the server:
socket = new DatagramSocket(325);    //server binds its UDP/IP socket to port 325

On the client 2:
socket = new DatagramSocket(325, InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.26"));

you are binding to the same port on the same machine/address that the "server" is using
On client 1:
packet = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length, InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.26"), 325);
//you are specifying the destination address and port the packet should be sent.
socket = new DatagramSocket();
//but in the DatagramSocket contructor you don't pass any address or port to bind to, so it will use an available port, not 325 as it is in use by the server.

As you said you are newly to network communication, be in mind that this is UDP/IP sockets, there's TCP/IP and others. UDP/IP is not connection oriented by specification, and does not guarantee the packet to be delivered.

MÖTLEY CRÜE Sells Catalog To BMG
Global music company BMG has announced that it has acquired the entire recorded catalog of MÖTLEY CRÜE. Sources tell Variety the deal is valued at approximately $150 million, although other sources cited a significantly lower number.
The deal is BMG's largest single catalog acquisition since the company was founded in 2008.
The agreement includes the iconic band's entire recorded output spanning their 40-year career totaling nine studio albums from their 1981 debut "Too Fast For Love" through the latest release in 2008 "Saints Of Los Angeles", as well as several platinum-selling live albums and compilation sets.
It comes as the band are on a new high after Netflix biopic "The Dirt" converted a new generation of fans with an astonishing 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes for the "warts 'n' all" movie.
In a statement from the group, MÖTLEY CRÜE said: "It feels amazing to be collaborating with our new partners at BMG. Their extensive track record of success in rock made them the perfect home to continue preserving and growing our musical legacy, ensuring we always stay at the top."
Allen Kovac, manager of MÖTLEY CRÜE, said: "After working side by side with BMG for well over a decade, the relationship we have developed and success we've accomplished over the years made this a very easy transition to entrust with this treasured rock catalog. Working with BMG in any capacity, whether that's publishing or records, has always been a great experience."
BMG CEO Hartwig Masuch said: "This is more than just a significant transaction. It's a new chapter for an extraordinary catalog. Few bands understand the myth and the magic of rock like MÖTLEY CRÜE do. In an increasingly competitive rights acquisition market, artists need to be convinced that a buyer will do the right thing with their work. I am delighted that MÖTLEY CRÜE have decided BMG will be the best custodians of their musical career."
In June 2022, MÖTLEY CRÜE will kick off their previously postponed (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) 30-plus-date headlining U.S. stadium tour, marking the group's return to the stage for their first major concert run since 2015.
Working closely with the band and its management, BMG's award-winning global catalog team will embark on its plan to re-promote the band's work beginning in 2022.
Michael Kachko, BMG's L.A.-based SVP, catalog recordings, said: "MÖTLEY CRÜE stand among the pantheon of rock legends, the band's legacy is tremendous and their fans avid. You can be sure that we will lavish all the respect and love for the music that BMG is recognized for to deliver current and future fans the best experience we can."
Thomas Scherer, BMG president, repertoire and marketing, New York and Los Angeles, said: "With expert management at the helm, MÖTLEY CRÜE have long owned their own recordings. It is an honor and a privilege for BMG to be entrusted with this catalog. They are the perfect fit for our global digital and physical expertise in rock."
Formed in January 1981 and hailing from the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles, California, the quartet of Vince Neil (lead vocals), Mick Mars (guitars), Nikki Sixx (bass) and Tommy Lee (drums) has commandeered the rock pantheon for four decades.
Together, MÖTLEY CRÜE have sold over 100 million albums worldwide with seven platinum and multi-platinum albums, nine Top 10 albums, 22 Top 40 Mainstream Rock hits, six Top 20 pop singles, three Grammy nominations, a New York Times best-seller, and a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.
The catalog includes the six-times-platinum-certified "Dr. Feelgood", four-times-platinum-certified "Shout At The Devil", "Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Theatre Of Pain", the platinum-certified "Too Fast For Love", as well as the two-times-platinum-certified "Decade Of Decadence '81-'91" and platinum-certified "Greatest Hits" collections.
Behind the massive success from their 2001 best-selling book and 2019 Netflix biopic "The Dirt" and its soundtrack, the band landed another No. 1 album and Top 10 worldwide with 22 chart-topping singles and seven albums back on the charts. Its massive global success saw MÖTLEY CRÜE's popularity soar to new highs, catapulting the band's music back to the top of the worldwide charts and introducing them to yet another generation of music fans.
Known for their explosive and elaborate live performances, MÖTLEY CRÜE have sold out countless tours across the globe in front of millions of fans with groundbreaking production and pyrotechnics culminating in highlights such as Tommy Lee's Crüecifly-drum rollercoaster and Nikki Sixx's flame-throwing bass.
MÖTLEY CRÜE and manager Allen Kovac and Chris Nilsson of 10th Street Entertainment were advised in the transaction by Tim Mandelbaum, Cynthia Katz, and the law firm of Fox Rothschild.
The transaction forms part of BMG's long-term strategy to create a 21st century home for the most iconic music rights in popular music history. BMG currently represents or owns rights in many of hard rock's most elite and ground-breaking artists, including BLACK SABBATH, DIO, IRON MAIDEN, Kurt Cobain, MOTÖRHEAD, SCORPIONS, URIAH HEEP and many of the artists who reflect their legacy including GODSMACK, Slash, and BRING ME THE HORIZON.

Described by many Brazilians as the "best Brazilian film of all time", the poetic experimental silent film Limite by Mário Peixoto has been fascinating its audience since its debut in 1931. Yet, it seems that although it is highly renown in Europe, only a few have actually seen it. Both the history of the origins of this cinematic gem and its perception and restoration as the "unknown masterpiece" (Georges Sadoul) offer unequalled opportunities for cinematic history. Mário Peixoto (1908–1992) attained legendary status for Limite, his only film. His second film Onde a terra acaba (1933) remained unfinished. Sergio Machado used this title for his documentary, in which he goes on a quest to explore the life and work of Mário Peixoto. He succeeds in producing a haunting homage to one of the most fascinating figures of the Brazilian cinema. Significantly, the directors Walter Salles and Nelson Pereira dos Santos and the main actress of Limite Olga Breno all appear in the film.
Sérgio Machado (*1968) is a Brazilian film director and screenwriter. At the 2005 Cannes Film Festival his film Cidade Baixa (Lower City) was screened in the section Un Certain Regard. He is also known for the films: 3 Histórias da Bahia (2001), Madam Satã (2002) and A Morte e a Morte de Quincas Berro Dágua (2009). He wrote the script for Behind the Sun by Walter Salles.

Travel tip: Beware Jeff Lewis
By Andrew Nodell
April 18, 2016 | 12:24pm
A post shared by Jeff Lewis (@jljefflewis) on Apr 1, 2016 at 4:36pm PDT
Warning: Don't fall asleep around Jeff Lewis.
The 46-year-old is widely known for rehabbing properties on Bravo's docu-series "Flipping Out" — now in its ninth season — but his best work may be his photo series in which he poses with unsuspecting sleeping travelers in public and posts the comical results to his Instagram account.
But despite his sneaky skills, Lewis' stealthy approach doesn't always go undetected.
"It started as a prank to fill time," Lewis told Page Six. "I spend a lot of time in airports and with all the flight delays, I get bored. Some people read or send emails; I photobomb sleepers."
"There was a woman asleep on the floor at LAX," he explained. "I laid down next to her to get a photo, but she woke up and hysterically screamed at me. Sometimes the job can be dangerous."
But startling subjects is only one of the hazards associated with the prank. The designer now vows to "never fall asleep in public" out of fear of "retribution" from his somnolent victims, and the social media aspect of his photo series has landed him in uncomfortable situations.
A post shared by Jeff Lewis (@jljefflewis) on Nov 11, 2015 at 8:39am PST
But despite the risk of social embarrassment, Lewis has no plans to halt the project, which means you may want to think twice before snoozing outside the privacy of your home.
"Recently I took a picture of someone on a flight who turned out to be my employee's ex-husband's business associate," he said. "That was awkward."
"Any public event is fair game for me," he continued. "I've taken [the photo] at High Point furniture market, USC football games, airports, train stations. As an artist, I think it's always important to grow and inspire others with my photography. It's become my creative outlet and hobby … at others' expense."

Extra game puts NFL records within reach
SportsNFL
Can Henry surpass Dickerson's rushing mark?

September 10, 2021 at 3:15 p.m.
By JOSH DUBOW
Derrick Henry now has an extra game to help him surpass Eric Dickerson's 37-year-old rushing record.
The quest for the first 2,000-yard receiving season just got a little bit easier for big-play threats like Stefon Diggs and DeAndre Hopkins.
And who knows what Patrick Mahomes can do to the record book now that he has 17 games to rack up yards and touchdowns?

The NFL's move to 17 games in 2021 has made some records that once might have seemed unbreakable a little bit more attainable with an extra game to do it.
Here's a look at some marks that could be surpassed along with a couple that still should be safe:
RUNNING DOWN DICKERSON
Dickerson broke O.J. Simpson's single-season rushing record of 2,003 yards when he ran for 2,105 in 1984 for the Rams.
Since that season, six more players have cracked 2,000, but the closest anyone came to Dickerson happened in 2012 when Adrian Peterson fell 8 yards short of matching it.
Henry ran for 2,027 yards last season when he averaged 126.7 per game. Had he gotten that many in a 17th game he would have surpassed Dickerson by nearly 50 yards.
TWO THOUSAND BARRIER
Calvin Johnson set the single-season receiving record with 1,964 yards in 2012 but even with the increase in passing no one has gotten to 2,000.
Julio Jones came closest since Johnson with 1,871 yards. That pace would have been enough to break Johnson's mark with a 17th game but would have left him about 13 yards short of 2,000.
But if teams keep throwing the ball at the current rate, the 2,000-yard barrier could be in reach.
Buffalo's Diggs led the NFL last year with 1,535 yards receiving.
There have been 12 times a quarterback reached 5,000 yards passing in a season, with the recently retired Drew Brees having done it five times himself.
Brees set the record with 5,476 yards in 2011 only to have Peyton Manning break it by a yard two years later.
Three quarterbacks have reached the 5,000-mark the past three years, with Mahomes and Ben Roethlisberger doing it in 2018, Jameis Winston in 2019. All three were on a pace to nearly eclipse Manning's mark with an extra game.
Manning also set the TD mark with 55 in that 2013 season. Mahomes got to 50 in 2018 when he threw for 5,097 yards and could threaten both marks with the 17th game.
BUSHEL OF SACKS
Michael Strahan set the sacks record in 2001 — with help from a dive by Brett Favre — when he got 22 1/2 to break Mark Gastineau's mark of 22 set in 1984.
Jared Allen (2011) and Justin Houston (2014) both matched Gastineau's 22 in recent years, with Aaron Donald and J.J. Watt coming close at 20 1/2.
A 17th game could help someone pass Strahan and remove the controversy from the record that was achieved only when Favre just fell to the ground in the closing minutes of the season finale.
LONELY CLUB
The 4,000-yard passing season became common in recent years even with only 16 games as the game opened up and teams passed more than ever. In all, there have been 198 4,000-yard seasons in NFL history, with seven franchises having at least 10 and the Packers and Colts having 16 each.
There is only one team that hasn't cracked that mark: the Chicago Bears. It might be tough for the Bears to end that drought even with 17 games because Andy Dalton begins the season as starter but could lose the job at some point to rookie Justin Fields.
The Bears hope Fields will get there some day and pass the franchise record of 3,838 yards set by Erik Kramer in 1995.
UNBREAKABLE MARKS
There are a handful of records that will be tough to break with 17 games but perhaps none more than Night Train Lane's mark of 14 interceptions in 1952. No one has even reached 11 in a season since Everson Walls in 1981 as quarterbacks have become much more careful with the ball.
Miami's Xavien Howard last year became the first player since 2007 with 10 in a season but even a 17th game probably won't be enough.

66 S.Ct. 937

THOMPSON et al.
TEXAS MEXICAN RY. CO.
Argued Oct. 9, 1945.
Decided April 29, 1946.
[Syllabus from pages 134-136 intentionally omitted]
Mr. Robert H. Kelley, of Houston, Tex., for petitioners.
Mr. John P. bullington, of Houston, Tex., for respondent.
Mr. Justice DOUGLAS delivered the opinion of the Court.
Brownsville (The St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railway Co.) and Tex-Mex (The Texas Mexican Railway Co.) are interstate carriers by railroad and subject to the provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act. 24 Stat. 379, 41 Stat. 474, 49 Stat. 543, 54 Stat. 899, 49 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., 49 U.S.C.A. § 1 et seq. On November 1, 1904, they entered into a written contract whereby, for payment of specified rentals, Tex-Mex granted Brownsville the right to operate its trains over the tracks of Tex-Mex between Robstown and Corpus Christi, Texas, and to make use of terminal facilities of Tex-Mex at Corpus Christi. The contract provided that it was to continue for a term of 50 years from its date unless sooner terminated by the parties. And it contained the following provision, 'It is further agreed that this contract may be terminated without giving any reason therefor, by either party, upon giving twelve months notice of such intent to terminate the lease.' In 1933 Brownsville filed its petition for reorganization under § 77 of the Bankruptcy Act, 11 U.S.C.A. § 205.1 The petition was approved and petitioner Thompson was appo nted as trustee in the proceeding. Shortly thereafter the bankruptcy court entered stay orders to which we will later refer. In October, 1940 Tex-Mex notified petitioners that it was exercising its right to terminate and cancel the trackage contract, effective twelve months after November 1, 1940. The trustee, however, continued to operate over the Tex-Mex and to use the Tex-Mex facilities after November 1, 1941. Tex-Mex informed him that a charge of $500 per day would be made for the use of these facilities—an amount in excess of the rental under the contract. The trustee refused to pay any rental other than that specified in the contract.
Thereupon this suit was instituted by Tex-Mex in the Texas courts to enjoin Brownsville and its trustee from using the tracks or other facilities without the consent of Tex-Mex and to recover $500 a day damages for such use or alternatively the reasonable value of the use of the property. The trial court overruled pleas to its jurisdiction and tried the case on the merits. It denied an injunction. It held that the 1904 contract had been terminated and awarded Tex-Mex damages in the amount of $184,929.85. The Court of Civil Appeals affirmed.2 181 S.W.2d 895. The Supreme Court of Texas refused an application for a writ of error. The case is here on a petition for a writ of certiorari which we granted because of the importance of the problems in the administration of the Interstate Commerce Act and of the Bankruptcy Act. 324 U.S. 838, 65 S.Ct. 1023.
First. It is contended here, as it was in the state court, that the maintenance of the present suit is precluded by the stay orders, issued by the bankruptcy court and by § 77 of the Bankruptcy Act.
Sec. 66 of the Judicial Code, 28 U.S.C. § 125, 28 U.S.C.A. § 125, authorizes suits against the trustee, without leave of the bankruptcy court, 'in respect of any act or transaction of his in carrying on the business.'3 In McNulta v. Lochridge, 141 U.S. 327, 332, 12 S.Ct. 11, 13, 35 L.Ed. 796, this statute was said to grant an 'unlimited' right 'to sue for the acts and transactions' of the estate. Operation of the trains is plainly a part of the trustee's functions. Claims which arise from their operation—whether grade crossing claims as in McNulta v. Lochridge, supra, or claims for the use of the tracks of another as in the present case—are claims based on acts of the trustee in conducting the business. Hence this suit, so far as it involves only a money claim against the estate for acts of the trustee in operating trains over respondent's tracks, could be maintained in the state courts against the trustee.4 And the stay orders entered were wholly consistent with this course.5
It is argued, however, that this suit cannot be maintained consistently with the provisions of § 77 which grant the reorganization court exclusive jurisdiction over the debtor and its property.6 The theory is that the suit interferes with the administration of the estate, adjudicates the trustee's interest in property in his possession, and indeed seeks to disrupt the operating schedule of trains. It is clear that the issuance of an injunction against operation of the trains over respondent's tracks would have been an interference with the exclusive jurisdiction of the reorganization court. The fact that no injunction was granted is not a decisive answer. In Ex parte Baldwin, 291 U.S. 610, 618, 54 S.Ct. 551, 555, 78 L.Ed. 1020, the Court held that the exclusive jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court is determined by the 'main purpose' of the suit. In that case suit had been brought in the state courts to have a railroad right of way declared forfeited and in addition to recover damages. The claim for damages was held to be 'merely an incident' to the suit for a forfeiture and did not save the suit from the defense that it was of the type which sought to interfere with the exclusive jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court. We do not construe the present bill as having as its main object the stoppage of the movement of petitioner's trains over respondent's tracks. The main purpose of the suit seems to be an attempt on the part of respondent to obtain a more favorable rental.
The fact, however, that respondent's suit does not have as its main purpose the ouster of petitioners from possession is not a complete answer to the plea to the state court's jurisdiction. As Ex parte Baldwin, supra, 291 U.S. at p. 616, 54 S.Ct. 554, held, the exclusive jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court is not limited to protecting the possession of the trustee; it 'extends also to the adjudication of questions respecting the title.' See White v. Schloerb, 178 U.S. 542, 20 S.Ct. 1007, 44 L.Ed. 1183; Whitney v. Wenman, 198 U.S. 539, 25 S.Ct. 778, 49 L.Ed. 1157. Petitioners argue that the present case comes within that principle. It is pointed out that this suit seeks the cancellation of the trackage agreement. It is argued that the rights granted Brownsville under that agreement are property rights; and that a suit to cancel the agreement and collect amounts other than the specified rentals is a suit which interferes with and adjudicates title to the property. If we were dealing here with a lease, a suit to effect its forfeiture could not be maintained in another court without consent of the reorganization court. But the trackage agreement created only a personal obligation and did not purport to grant Brownsville any estate in the property of Tex-Mex. See Des Moines & Ft. Dodge R. Co. v. Wabash, St. Louis & P. Ry. Co., 135 U.S. 576, 583, 10 S.Ct. 753, 755, 34 L.Ed. 243; Union Pacific Ry. Co. v. Chicago, Milwaukee & St. P. Ry. Co., 163 U.S. 564, 582, 583, 16 S.Ct. 1173, 1180, 41 L.Ed. 265. It was an executory contract subject to termination on a specified notice. The exclusive jurisdiction of the reorganization court was a barrier to any action by any other court which would disturb the possession of the trustee or interfere in any way with his operation of the business. But, apart from the qualification to which we will later refer, litigation restricted to the amount due under a contract, express or implied, for the use by the trustee of another's property no more interferes with the administration of the estate than suits to determine his liability under contracts calling for the delivery of coal or other supplies. In each the claim is reduced to judgment and may then be presented to the bankruptcy court for proof and allowance. Cancellation of a contract pursuant to its terms alters, of course, rights and duties of the trustee. But the bankruptcy rule is that he takes the contracts of the debtor subject to their terms and conditions. Contracts adopted by him are assumed cum onere.7 The general rule is (1) that if the other party had a right to terminate the arrangement, that right survives adoption of the contract by the trustee; and (2) that the incidence of termination, except as it interferes with the exclusive jurisdiction of the bankruptcy court, may be litigated in any court where the trustee may be sued. That rule of bankruptcy is applicable to proceedings under § 77 by reason of § 77, sub. l which provides:
'In proceedings under this section and consistent with the provisions thereof, the jurisdiction and powers of the court, the duties of the debtor and the rights and liabilities of creditors, and of all persons with respect to the debtor and its property, shall be the same as if a voluntary petition for adjudication had been filed and a decree of adjudication had been entered on the day when the debtor's petition was filed.'
But, as we shall see, the qualification in § 77, sub. l that the rule of bankruptcy be 'consistent with the provisions' of § 77 made premature an adjudication by the court that the contract was terminated, prior to a determination by the Interstate Commerce Commission that that step was consistent with the reorganization requirements of the debtor.
Second. Prior to the rendition of judgment on the merits the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission was necessary on two phases of the controversy—one under § 77 of the Bankruptcy Act, the other under provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act.
(1) As we have said, the right to terminate a contract pursuant to its terms survives the bankruptcy of the other contracting party. And that general bankruptcy rule is applicable in § 77 proceedings by reason of § 77 sub. l, which, as we have said, incorporates into § 77 the rules governing the duties of debtors and the rights and liabilities of creditors so far as they are 'consistent with the provisions' of § 77. We have considered the meaning of that qualification in No. 384, Smith v. Hoboken Railroad, W. & S.C. Co., 328 U.S. 123, 66 S.Ct. 947. We there held that a covenant of forfeiture in a lease of railroad tracks and facilities should not be enforced by the bankruptcy court prior to a determination by the Commission that such step would be consistent with the reorganization requirements of the debtor. The Commission has the primary responsibility for formulating plans of reorganization under § 77. See § 77 sub. d. Forfeiture of leases by the court in advance of a determination by the Commission of the nature of the plan of reorganization which is necessary or desirable for the debtor may seriously interfere with the performance by the Commission of the functions entrusted to it.
We think that the same considerations are applicable to a determination that the trackage agreement in this case should be terminated pending formulation of a reorganization plan. By § 77, sub. b, the plan of reorganization may adopt or reject executory contracts of the debtor as well as unexpired leases. And the adoption of either an executory contract or of a lease by the trustee does not preclude a rejection of it in the plan. Moreover, trackage agreements like leases of railroad tracks and facilities are means by which railroad systems have been assembled. The retention or the sloughing off of trackage agreements may assume importance in the fashioning of a plan of reorganization by the Commission The problem is kin to that involved in Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co. v. Chicago, Rock Island & P. Ry. Co., 294 U.S. 648, 55 S.Ct. 595, 79 L.Ed. 1110. In that case the Court sustained the power of the reorganization court to enjoin under § 77 creditors, who held collateral notes of the debtor railroad secured by its bonds and bonds of its subsidiaries, from selling the collateral under a power of sale in the notes, where the sale would so hinder, obstruct or delay the plan of reorganization as would likely defeat it. The Court stated 294 U.S. at pp. 676, 679, 55 S.Ct. at page 606, that a proceeding under § 77 is a 'special proceeding which seeks only to bring about a reorganization, if a satisfactory plan to that end can be devised. And to prevent the attainment of that object is to defeat the very end the accomplishment of which was the sole aim of the section, and thereby to render its provisions futile.' The Court concluded, in view of the complexity of the problems involved in the reorganization, 'that without the maintenance of the status quo for a reasonable length of time no satisfactory plan could be worked out.'
That decision prevented in the interests of a reorganization the enforcement of the provisions of the contracts of the debtor according to their terms. We think like reasons make it important that the status quo of this trackage agreement be maintained pending decision by the Commission as to the proper treatment of it in the reorganization plan. The Commission may decide that it should be adopted. Or the Commission may conclude that the trackage agreement should be rejected or that its termination pursuant to its terms should be allowed. These matters involve not only the interests of the two parties to the trackage agreement but phases of the public interest as well. A court which enforced the termination clause of the agreement pursuant to its terms would be narrowing the choice of the Commission and perhaps embarrassing it in the performance of the functions with which it has been entrusted. For these and like reasons which we have discussed in Smith v. Hoboken Railroad, W. & S.C. Co., supra, we think the court erred in holding that the trackage agreement had been or should be terminated.
(2) The Commission has further functions to perform apart from determining under § 77 whether it would be consistent with the reorganization requirements of the debtor to terminate the trackage agreement.
By § 1(18) of the Interstate Commerce Act it is provided that 'no carrier by railroad subject to this chapter shall abandon all or any portion of a line of railroad, or the operation thereof, unless and until there shall first have been obtained from the commission a certificate that the present or future public convenience and necessity permit of such abandonment.' Carriers being reorganized under § 77 of the Bankruptcy Act are not exempt from that provision. § 77, sub. o, 11 U.S.C. § 205, sub. o, 11 U.S.C.A. § 205, sub. o; Warren v. Palmer, 310 U.S. 132, 137, 138, 60 S.Ct. 865, 867, 84 L.Ed. 1118. Whatever may be the powers of the Commission under the Interstate Commerce Act, rather than § 77, over the terms of the trackage agreement, Abandonment of Chicago, R.I. & P. Ry. Co., 131 I.C.C. 421; Kansas City So. Ry. Co. v. Kansas City Terminal Ry. Co., 211 I.C.C. 291, it is clear that the Commission has jurisdiction over the operations. Sec. 1(18) embraces operations under trackage contracts, as well as other types of operations. See Chicago & Alton R. Co. v. Toledo, Peoria & W. Ry. Co., 146 I.C.C. 171, 179—181. And the fact that the trackage contract was entered into in 1904 prior to the p ssage of the Act is immaterial; the provisions of the Act, including § 1(18), are applicable to contracts made before as well as after its enactment. See Louisville & Nashville R. Co. v. Mottley, 219 U.S. 467, 482, 31 S.Ct. 265, 270, 55 L.Ed. 297, 34 L.R.A.,N.S., 671. Though the contract were terminated pursuant to its terms, a certificate would still be required under § 1(18). Brownsville or its trustee could, of course, make the application for abandonment of operations. But the fact that they might be content with the existing arrangement and fail or refuse to move does not mean that Tex-Mex would be burdened with a trackage arrangement in perpetuity. Tex-Mex might invoke the Commission's jurisdiction under § 1(18) and make application for abandonment of operations by Brownsville or its trustee. There is no requirement in § 1(18) that the application be made by the carrier whose operations are sought to be abandoned. It has been recognized that persons other than carriers 'who have a proper interest in the subject-matter' may take the initiative.8 See Atchison, T. & S.F. Ry. Co. v. Railroad Commission, 283 U.S. 380, 393, 394, 51 S.Ct. 553, 556, 557, 75 L.Ed. 1128. An application by a city and county for abandonment of a part of the Colorado & Southern line was indeed entertained. Colorado & Southern Ry. Co. Abandonment, 166 I.C.C. 470. Tex-Mex has even a more immediate interest in the operations over this line. Its property is involved; and the amount being paid for the use of its property is deemed by it insufficient. The Commission is as much concerned with its financial condition as it is with that of Brownsville. Tex-Mex therefore has the standing necessary to invoke § 1(18).
Tex-Mex, however, points out that in 1941 it made application to the Commission 'for authority to cancel trackage agreements' with Brownsville and that the Secretary of the Commission returned the application saying 'The Commission is without authority to consider an application of the nature submitted by you. Its jurisdiction under Section 1(18) of the Interstate Commerce Act would extend only to abandonment of operation by the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mexico Railway Company.' We need not consider whether the application was in proper form for one authorizing and requiring abandonment of operations by Brownsville. In any event, the secretary of the Commission was without authority to bind the Commission in the matter. Cf. Minneapolis & St. Louis R. Co. v. Peoria & P.U. Ry. Co., 270 U.S. 580, 585, 46 S.Ct. 402, 404, 70 L.Ed. 743.
(3) The jurisdiction of the Commission is not restricted, however, to determining whether or no operations of Brownsville over the tracks of Tex-Mex should be abandoned. Prior to the Transportation Act of 1940 the Commission had some jurisdiction over trackage agreements of the character involved in this case. Transit Commission v. United States, 289 U.S. 121, 53 S.Ct. 536, 77 L.Ed. 1075. But by that Act the Commission received new, explicit powers over trackage rights. Sec. 5(2)(a)(ii), 49 U.S.C.A. § 5(2)(a)(ii), provides: 'It shall be lawful, with the approval and authorization of the Commission, as provided in subdivision (b) * * * for a carrier by railroad to acquire trackage rights over, or joint ownership in or joint use of, any railroad line or lines owned or operated by any other such carrier, and terminals incidental thereto.' Trackage rights acquired without the consent and approval of the Commission are unlawful. § 5(4).
The authority of the Commission u der § 5(2)(a) extends to fixing terms and conditions, including rentals for any trackage agreements entered into subsequent to the effective date of the Transportation Act of 1940. If, therefore, the two carriers had voluntarily terminated the 1904 trackage contract and had entered into a new one without the approval of the Commission, they would have violated the Act. There would be no difference in result merely because the trackage contract expired by its terms or was terminated by operation of an escape clause. Until abandonment is authorized, operations must continue. While they continue, trackage rights are being enjoyed. In absence of administrative control, the law would under those circumstances imply a contract for the use of another's property and award reasonable compensation. Thus trackage rights would be acquired on such terms as the court and jury determined. But § 5(2)(a) vests in the Commission, not the courts, the power to determine the terms and conditions under which trackage rights may be acquired. The jurisdiction of the Commission is exclusive. Transit Commission v. United States, supra. In that case the Commission had approved a trackage agreement between two carriers and the Court held that the Commission's jurisdiction being exclusive, approval by a state commission was not necessary. The court below thought that case was not controlling here, in view of the fact that the Interstate Commerce Commission had not acted. But in a long line of cases beginning with Texas & Pacific Ry. Co. v. Abilene Cotton Oil Co., 204 U.S. 426, 27 S.Ct. 350, 51 L.Ed. 553, 9 Ann.Cas. 1075, it has been held that where the reasonableness or legality of the practices of the parties was subject to the administrative authority of the Interstate Commerce Commission, the court should stay its hand until the Commission had passed on the matter. See General American Tank Car Corp. v. El Dorado Terminal Co., 308 U.S. 422, 60 S.Ct. 325, 84 L.Ed. 361, and cases cited. That course is singularly appropriate here. It is the function of the Commission to determine the terms and conditions under which trackage rights are acquired. If the parties were allowed to by-pass the Commission and litigate the question in the courts, the power to fix the rental under trackage agreements would be shifted from the Commission to the courts and juries. Moreover, one jury would determine the amount of compensation due for the period here in question and another jury the amount due for a subsequent period. But a major concern of Congress in dealing with this problem was that neither inadequate rentals nor extortionate nor unreasonable exactions would be made for trackage rights. Transit Commission v. United States, supra, 289 U.S. at p. 128, 53 S.Ct. at page 538. Those questions intimately relate to the financial strength of carriers. And it is one of the Commission's high functions to protect the public interest against unfair or oppressive financial practices which in the past led to such great havoc and disaster. That policy would be undermined if the carriers could repair to courts for determination of the conditions under which trackage rights could be secured. Then jury verdicts or settlements would take the place of the expert and informed judgment of the Commission.
It is suggested, however, that the Commission is empowered to fix the rental only for the future and that it has no power to make an award with retroactive effect. But on this phase of the case we are not dealing with the problem of reparations. In any case where application is made for trackage rights the terms and conditions fixed by the Commission are applicable when the certificate of public convenience and necessity takes effect. If operations do not start until that time, no problem is presented. But frequently there will be applications for renewal of trackage agreements which have expired. Operations may not be discontinued until a certificate of abandonment is obtained. If new trackage rights are g anted, they run from the expiration of the old and their terms and conditions are applicable to the full term.9 Once the Commission has acted, the court may then proceed to enter judgment in conformity with the terms and conditions specified by the Commission. See El Dorado Oil Works v. United States, 328 U.S. 12, 66 S.Ct. 843.
It is argued, however, that the trackage rights envisioned by § 5(2)(a) of the Act are consensual arrangements between the parties; and that the Commission is not granted authority to force a trackage agreement on a carrier. We do not decide what may be the full reach of the power of the Commission under § 5(2) (a). We are dealing here with an existing operation, not with a case where one carrier seeks to intitiate a new one by acquiring the right to run its trains over the tracks of another. The Commission has the power under § 1(18) to refuse to allow abandonment of the operations. If it so refuses, trackage rights continue to be enjoyed by Brownsville. The question of what would be the amount of a fair rental to be paid by Brownsville would be highly relevant to a decision by the Commission on the issue of abandonment. We conclude that at least in that situation the Commission has the power under § 5(2) to fix a reasonable rental for the use of the facility by Brownsville regardless of the consent of Tex-Mex.10 Denial of that power to the Commission is not required by the language of § 5(2)(a). And this construction of § 5(2)(a) is in harmony with the power of the Commission under § 1(18) to refuse to authorize the abandonment of operations. If operations must continue, it is more consistent with this scheme of regulation for the Commission rather than courts or juries to determine the amount of the rental. Any legal, including constitutional, rights of Tex-Mex are protected by the review which Congress has granted the orders of the Commission.
Third. If the Commission gra ted trackage rights, Tex-Mex could then recover judgment, as we have said, for the amount of the rental fixed by the Commission. If, on the other hand, the Commission authorizes the operations to be abandoned, it 'may attach to the issuance of the certificate such terms and conditions as in its judgment the public convenience and necessity may require.' § 1(20). The Commission could permit abandonment unless Brownsville paid such reasonable compensation for the use of Tex-Mex's property as the Commission should fix. In that case, too, the court would have an administrative finding as a guide to the judgment it would enter. In case abandonment were authorized without more, respondent would then be free to move in this proceeding for judgment and to apply to the bankruptcy court for compliance with the Commission's order. In all those situations suits to recover the amounts due for use of the tracks of Tex-Mex could be maintained in the state court11 under the principles announced in Central New England Ry. Co. v. Boston & Albany R. Co., 279 U.S. 415, 420, 49 S.Ct. 358, 359, 73 L.Ed. 770. If, however, the Commission decided that the trackage agreement should be dealt with in the plan, the state court would not have power to proceed further. For respondent's rights would be protected by the provisions of the plan which may be reviewed only by the reorganization court. § 77, sub. e.
Thus, however the case may be viewed, the court below should have stayed its hand and remitted the parties to the Commission for a determination of the administrative phases of the questions involved. Until that determination is had, it cannot be known with certainty what issues for judicial decision will emerge. Until that time, judicial action is premature. The judgment will be reversed and the cause remanded so that the case may be held pending the conclusion of appropriate administrative proceedings.
Mr. Justice JACKSON took no part in the consideration or decision of this case.
This petition was filed in the reorganization proceedings of the Missouri Pacific R. Co. which owned about 94 per cent of the voting stock of the New Orleans, Texas and Mexico Ry Co., which in turn owned all of the voting stock of Brownsville.
No complaint was made on appeal of the denial of an injunction.
'Every receiver or manager of any property appointed by any court of the United States may be sued in respect of any act or transaction of his in carrying on the business connected with such property, without the previous leave of the court in which such receiver or manager was oppointed; but such suit shall be subject to the general equity jurisdiction of the court in which such manager or receiver was appointed so far as the same may be necessary to the ends of justice.'
Judgment for damages was granted only against petitioner trustee; judgment for costs was granted against the trustee and Brownsville jointly and severally.
The stay orders authorized the trustee to defend any suits which might be brought.
In view of our disposition of the case it is unnecessary to decide at this time whether or not the suit may also be maintained against Brownsville. The stay order, entered for the benefit of the debtor, followed the provisions of § 77, sub. j of the Bankruptcy Act, 49 Stat. 911, 922, 11 U.S.C § 205, sub. j, 11 U.S.C.A. § 205, sub. j, and provided: 'That commencement or continuation of suits against any of the debtor companies is hereby stayed and enjoined until after final decree entered in these proceedings, provided, however, that suits or claims for damages caused by the operation of trains, buses, or other means of transportation may be filed and prosecuted to judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction, and any order heretofore staying the prosecution of any such causes of action or appeal is hereby vacated.'
Sec. 77, sub. a provides in part. 'If the petition is so approved, the court in which such order is entered shall, during the pendency of the proceedings under this section and for the purposes thereof, have exclusive jurisdiction of the debtor and its property wherever located.'
See Greif Bros. Cooperage Co. v. Mullinix, 8 Cir., 264 F. 391, 397; 4 Collier on Bankruptcy (14th ed.) § 70.43.
Cf. Texas & P. Ry. Co. v. Gulf, C. & S.F. Ry. Co., 270 U.S. 266, 273, 46 S.Ct. 263, 264, 70 L.Ed. 578, which holds that a party in interest who is opposed to construction of an extension may not 'initiate before the Commission any proceeding concerning the project', his remedy being to appear in opposition if application is made or to seek an injunction under § 1(20) if no application is made. And see Powell v. United States, 300 U.S. 276, 57 S.Ct. 470, 81 L.Ed. 643.
The terms and conditions approved by the Commission in Long Island R. Co. Trackage, 180 I.C.C. 439, affirmed Transit Commission v. United States, 289 U.S. 121, 53 S.Ct. 536, 77 L.Ed. 1075, were given retroactive effect in that sense.
The argument is that the Commission has that authority only under § 3(5) which gives the Commission authority to require the use of terminal facilities including main-line tracks for a reasonable distance outside of the terminal.
'Sec. 3(5) provides: 'If the commission finds it to be in the public interest and to be practicable, without substantially impairing the ability of a common carrier by railroad owning or entitled to the enjoyment of terminal facilities to handle its own business, it shall have power by order to require the use of any such terminal facilities, including main-line track or tracks for a reasonable distance outside of such terminal, of any common carrier by railroad, by another such carrier or other such carriers, on such terms and for such compensation as the carriers affected may agree upon, or, in the event of a failure to agree, as the commission may fix as just and reasonable for the use so required, to be ascertained on the principle controlling compensation in condemnation proceedings. Such compensation shall be paid or adequately secured before the enjoyment of the use may be commenced. If under this paragraph the use of such terminal facilities of any carrier is required to be given to another carrier or other carriers, and the carrier whose terminal facilities are required to be so used is not satisfied with the terms fixed for such use, or if the amount of compensation so fixed is not duly and promptly paid, the carrier whose terminal facilities have thus been required to be given to another carrier or other carriers shall be entitled to recover, by suit or action against such other carrier or carriers, proper damages for any injuries sustained by it as the result of compliance with such requirements, or just compensation for such use, or both, as the case may be.'
If the order of the Commission were challenged, its review could of course be had only in the manner provided by statute. See El Dorado Oil Works v. United States, 328 U.S. 12, 66 S.Ct. 843.

Q: Checkbox in ListView changes when scrolling offscreen I ran into an annoyance, and i couldn't find an answer anywhere. So here I am.
I have a ListFragment in which I put data retrieved from a database. I've extended the SimpleCursorAdapter class and adapted it according to my needs.
My ListView items look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:orientation="horizontal"
        android:padding="5dp" >

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:orientation="vertical" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txtDetailsListAmount"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:text="Amount"
                android:textSize="23dp" />

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/txtDetailsListComment"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:singleLine="true"
                android:text="Comment"
                android:textSize="15dp" />
        </LinearLayout>

        <CheckBox
            android:id="@+id/chkDetailsDebt"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:visibility="gone" />

    </LinearLayout>

The hidden checkbox is displayed once I call startActionMode. The purpose of this checkbox is to be able to select mutliple list items and delete all of them at once.
So deleting works fine when there's just a couple of entries and no need for scrolling. Yet once i am able to scroll and views are being recycled, the selected list items will change.
I've seen solutions but they use ArrayAdapters instead of an extended SimpleCursorAdapter.
Here is my custom SimpleCursorAdapter:
 public class CustomDetailsCursorAdapter extends SimpleCursorAdapter {

        private DetailsActivity activity;

        @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
        public CustomDetailsCursorAdapter(Context context, int layout, Cursor c,
                String[] from, int[] to, Activity activity) {
            super(context, layout, c, from, to);
        }

        @Override
        public View newView(Context context, Cursor cursor, ViewGroup parent) {
            LayoutInflater inflater = LayoutInflater.from(context);
            View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.details_custom_list_item, parent,
                    false);
            bindView(v, context, cursor);
            return v;
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            // TODO Auto-generated method stub
            return super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
        }
        @Override
        public void bindView(View view, Context context, Cursor cursor) {
            view.setTag(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(Persons.COLUMN_ID)));
            TextView name = (TextView) view
                    .findViewById(R.id.txtDetailsListComment);
            String comment = cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(Debts.COLUMN_COMMENT));
            if(comment.equals("")){
                comment = "-";
            }
            name.setText(comment);

            TextView debt = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txtDetailsListAmount);
            double amount = Double.parseDouble(cursor.getString(cursor
                    .getColumnIndex(Debts.COLUMN_AMOUNT)));

            DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
            debt.setText(activity.getCurrency()+df.format(amount));
            boolean isMyDebt;
            if (cursor.getInt((cursor.getColumnIndex(Debts.COLUMN_IS_MY_DEBT))) == 0) {
                isMyDebt = false;
            } else {
                isMyDebt = true;
            }
            if (!isMyDebt) {

                debt.setTextColor(activity.getResources().getColor(
                        R.color.LawnGreen));
            } else {
                debt.setTextColor(activity.getResources().getColor(
                        R.color.Red));
            }

        }

    }

Over recent decades a quiet revolution has taken place in the application of modern imaging theory to many fields of applied imaging. Nowhere has this movement been more dramatic than within the field of diagnostic medical x-ray imaging, to the extent that there is now a growing consensus around a universal imaging language for the description and comparison of the increasingly diverse range of technologies. This common language, which owes much to the basic quantum-limited approach pioneered by Rose and his contemporaries, embodies the fundamentally statistical nature of image signals and enables scientists and engineers to simultaneously develop new system designs optimized for the detection of small signals while constraining patient x-ray exposures to tolerable levels. We attempt to provide a summary of some of the more salient features of progress being made in the understanding of the signal-to-noise limitations of medical imaging systems and to place this progress within a historical context. Emphasis is placed on medical diagnostics based on x-ray imaging techniques.

Someone once told me that the Keystone Oaks school district was cleverly named to reference each of its three communities in the name. This would be the Oaks.
You'll have to wait to find out about the others.
Brendan's keen eye spotted this sign just as we exited 79. While this isn't the "tree-lined suburb" of Mt. Lebanon, Green Tree did, at least at one point, have a giant sycamore along the side of the main drag. Photography may have been taboo back then, but an artist's rendition of the tree is available on the borough's welcome sign.

I try searching online but cant find any solution...
any help is appreciated
Thanks!
After looking at the comments below I changed the function to (marked with //<-added by me):
const char *
Py_GetBuildInfo(void)
{
//    static char buildinfo[50 + sizeof(HGVERSION) +
//                          ((sizeof(HGTAG) > sizeof(HGBRANCH)) ?
//                           sizeof(HGTAG) : sizeof(HGBRANCH))];
    static char buildinfo[500];  //<-added by me

    const char *revision = _Py_hgversion();
    const char *sep = *revision ? ":" : "";
    const char *hgid = _Py_hgidentifier();
    if (!(*hgid))
        hgid = "default";
    PyOS_snprintf(buildinfo, sizeof(buildinfo),
                  "%s%s%s, %.20s, %.9s", hgid, sep, revision,
                  DATE, TIME);
    return buildinfo;
}

const char *

{
    /* the following string can be modified by subwcrev.exe */
    static const char svnversion[] = SVNVERSION;
    if (svnversion[0] != '$')
        return svnversion; /* it was interpolated, or passed on command line */
    return "Unversioned directory";
}

const char *
_Py_hgversion(void)
{
    //return HGVERSION;
    return "Unversioned version";  //<-added by me

}

const char *
_Py_hgidentifier(void)
{
//    const char *hgtag, *hgid;
//    hgtag = HGTAG;
//    if ((*hgtag) && strcmp(hgtag, "tip") != 0)
//        hgid = hgtag;
//    else
//        hgid = HGBRANCH;
//    return hgid;
   return "Unversioned id"; //<-added by me

}

my question is if its save to do that ? because the code seems to compile and I can install it without a problem.

A: You might want to try the following -
1) upgrade all mercurial packages to the latest version, and then try to build python 2.7, if that still doesn't compile, then
2) remove mercurial packages first, then build python 2.7, and re-install mercurial afterwards.

Q: pytorch slow loading speed on dataloader I am trying this code.
https://github.com/Dannynis/xvector_pytorch/blob/master/xvector%20-%20gpu.ipynb
in this code, I changed to this:
trainloader = torch.utils.data.DataLoader(list(zip(X,y)), shuffle=True, pin_memory=True, batch_size=256, num_workers=8)

and it took very long (~23s) for one step:
loss: 1.8956436561879668 step took 23.29119372367859

I think it is related to this code, copy 256 vectors to cuda took so long?
for i, data in enumerate(trainloader, 0):
    a = time.time()
    # get the inputs; data is a list of [inputs, labels]
    inputs, labels = data
    inputs, labels = inputs.cuda(), labels.cuda()

I wonder if there is anything I can do to speed up the data_loader?

Q: How to define asymmetric + operator I'm trying to define the + operator for int + Date and make it return an int. So I define operator+ as a member to define Date + int, and I define a non-member function operator+(int, Date), but when using it in the main it doesn't seem to use that function and generates an error.
class Date
{
    int D, M, Y;
public:
    Date();
    Date(int, int, int);
    ~Date(void);

    int getDay() const;
    Date operator+(Date) const;
    Date operator+(int) const;
};

Date::Date() : D{15}, Y{2012}, M{2} { }
Date::Date(int d, int m, int y) : D{d}, Y{y}, M{m} {}
Date::~Date(void) {}

int Date::getDay() const { return D; }
Date Date::operator+(Date d) const
{
    return Date(d.D + D, d.M + M, d.Y + Y);
}
Date Date::operator+(int d) const
{
    return Date(d + D,M,Y);
}

int operator+(int i,Date d) // This is what is wrong apparently.
{
    return i + d.getDay();
}

int main ()
{
    Date d = Date();
    int i = 7 + d; // This is what generates the error at compile time.
    cout << i;
    return 0;
}

A: You can define it as a friendly function outside the class.

Among the experiments in Media General newsrooms for using social media to promote upcoming content, Sara Diamond of WJHL has started using a webcam to make 1 1/2-minute promos for Facebook saying what stories the station is working on. Many TV stations — and some newspapers — do these kinds of promos for their websites. Posting them to your Facebook fan page as well just makes sure they are in more places and are more likely to be seen by more people.

To make an appointment, call us at (919) 489-1543.
Welcome to Durham Pediatric and Orthodontics! We're honored you are entrusting us with your child's dental care and look forward to being part of your "health" family for many years. New Patient Appointments are usually available within a few days of your initial call. Our office staff will work with you to find convenient appointment times and we will do our best to minimize appointments that interrupt the school or work day.
For more information on what to expect at your child's appointment, visit our Pediatric Dentistry page.
Please let us know if your child's dentist has referred you to our office for orthodontics. Dr. Christensen will correspond with your family dentist and keep them updated on your child's orthodontic progress. If your child has had x-rays taken at another office, please contact that office at least two weeks in advance and request that their x-rays be sent to us. This will not only provide us with important information but could also avoid duplication of x-rays for your child and help minimize your costs.
If you have dental insurance, please provide that information when you are scheduling your appointment and bring your current insurance card with you to each visit.
For more information on what to expect at the orthodontic appointment, please visit our Orthodontics page.
If you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment, please call and give our office as soon as possible. We understand schedules change and we would like to offer your time to another child who needs care. Cancellations or missed appointments without 24-hour notice are subject to a $25 fee (per child).
We know your time is valuable and we do everything we can to stay "on schedule." Sometimes there are dental emergencies or unexpected patient conditions that cause us to run behind schedule. If this happens on your appointment day, out of respect for your time, we will talk with you personally and let you decide if you want to wait or reschedule the appointment.
As a patient, there may be occasions when you are not on time. If you are running late, we will decide when you arrive if we can complete your treatment in the remaining, allotted time. We do this out of courtesy for the patients scheduled after you.

New Year Newsletter
Dear friends and partners of the Justice for Journalists Foundation!
Please accept our warm congratulations with the New Year! We would like to thank you for your interest and cooperation and wish you the freedom of creativity and movement in the coming 2021.
MEDIA RISK MAP AND MONITORING OF THE ATTACKS ON JOURNALISTS
According to the monitoring data collated in the JFJ Media Risk Map, in 2020 12 post-Soviet countries (except the Baltic States) saw twice as many attacks against media workers as in 2019: 3,862 versus 1,907.
The increased intensity of attacks on the media workers in the former Soviet countries was mainly due to adoption and implementation of the new repressive laws in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Justice for Journalists Foundation and Index on Censorship's joint report presents the analysis of attacks and violations against media rights related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
In 2020, professional and citizen journalists reported attacks more often as publicity and support by colleagues, lawyers, and human rights defenders remain the only weapon against authoritarian power's impunity.
JFJ INVESTIGATIVE GRANT PROGRAMME
In 2020, the Justice for Journalists Foundation has issued the second tranche of annual grants for journalistic investigations into crimes against media workers. This year, we have supported 12 investigations into violent crimes against journalists in Brazil, Kyrgyzstan, Mexico, Russia, Somalia, Syria, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.
This year, the Foundation continued to support international human rights organizations' efforts and the independent Maltese portal The Shift News in their work to identify and bring to justice the murderers of Daphne Caruana Galizia.
We have also funded five international NGOs to investigate how SLAPP (strategic litigation against public participation) is used to halt media workers' investigative efforts in the UK, the EU, Colombia, Mexico, and Armenia. The reports published by the Foreign Policy Centre are available here.
Lana Estemirova's podcast Trouble with the Truth, where she interviews brave and resilient journalists from around the world who face persecution for doing their job, is available on the Justice for Journalists Foundation website, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and Soundcloud.
ORKHAN DZHEMAL MEDIA SAFETY ACADEMY
In July, on the second anniversary of the brutal assassination of Russian journalists Orkhan Dzhemal, Kirill Radchenko and Alexandr Rastorguev in the Central African Republic, we launched Orkhan Dzhemal Media Safety Academy.
Since then, over 120 professional and citizen journalists, freelancers, bloggers and online activists have enrolled into the Academy with many having graduated already.
The Academy's 14 instructors from nine countries offer free video courses in Russian on the following topics:
Risk Analysis and Structured Analytical Techniques
Physical Security and First Aid
Information and Cyber Security
Psychological and Emotional Safety, Overcoming the Trauma
Media Risks and Legal Security
For those media workers and civil activists who have not got a chance to enrol into our media security course, we have created short check-lists with key points from the Academy experts' presentations.
In addition to the online courses, several dozens of professional and citizen journalists from Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Ukraine and Uzbekistan participated in the Academy's webinars and panel discussions.
In 2021, the Justice for Journalists Foundation will continue to contribute towards increasing the safety of media work. In January, we will announce the terms of our next Investigative Grant Programme. We hope that in the new year we will finally meet you offline at our trainings, seminars and conferences.

Ferguson and Diaz could have fought at UFC 213, but the latter turned it down.
UFC lightweight contender Tony Ferguson has blasted Nate Diaz once again for his refusal to fight him in an interim title fight.
Ferguson had previously called Diaz "a f*****g bad ex-girlfriend" for his refusal to fight anyone but Conor McGregor, which would ideally earn him the biggest pay day.
The Stockton native responded by claiming he never wanted a third fight with the Irishman before revealing that he was likely to turn down a fight with "El Cucuy" at UFC 213 on 9 July.
This prompted a frustrated Ferguson to attack Diaz once more, calling him out for wanting to rather take part in a triathlon than fight and improve his ranking.
"Little b***h. I don't know. I don't know what his problem is, dude," Ferguson said on The MMA Hour. "Like, I understand that you want to say like, 'McGregor, I'm not going to do your dirty work.' Dude, I don't want to go into name-calling, I don't have to do that, but I'm talking about if you're a fighter and you're in this organization and you say that you'd rather go and ride a bicycle, you've got better things to do, that's cute. That's real cute."
"I might as well Stockton Slap the s**t outta you. Really? I'm from the 808, man. I don't have to talk about where I'm from, but I'm tough. I'm a hell of a lot tougher than that dude, because money never made me soft.
"And s**t, even if it made me soft, I wouldn't forget where I came from. Because you know what? You've got a place to represent — like you said 'represent.' You've got a man right here that's calling you out, and you're not signing on the dotted line? You're a clown, dude. You're fake."
Diaz also claimed that McGregor and Ferguson — who both share the same manager in Audie Attar — were working in collusion to pressure him into fighting. Ferguson rubbished these claims by stating that he does not like McGregor either.
"He [Nate Diaz] smokes a lot of good weed, I guess, because he's got a lot of time on his hands just to do that," the number two contender explained. "The dude's delusional, man. Obviously I'm not in cahoots with McGregor. If you think that I am, then you're f*cking high as f*ck. Straight up, he's smoking that wacky tobacky, because I'm not. I don't like the dude (McGregor)."
"I don't like how, obviously, things are playing with my management, but you know what? I'm professional, so this is where we're at."
While Ferguson has not fought since his victory over former lightweight champion Rafael Dos Anjos in November 2016, Khabib Nurmagomedov — who was slated to fight him at UFC 209 — is still willing to fight him in an interim title fight.


Generator: People's Professions - Gindew Blog?
Now all of the Moods and Actions are done, i have had time to work on the Professions which can be generated. Now the People can have Jobs and also appearances according to the generated content.
They can have Hair Color, Eye Colour and even some basic Armour on them.
I'm wanting to categorize some of the Jobs so say if your a Paladin you can only have so many actions like Training or Duelling whereas the Scholar could be Reading or Studying. This will allow more realistic situations instead of Scholars Training in a Furious mood.
Next i would like to add more detail into things like Clothing or even Items in their Inventory. maybe even delve into the Quality of Items like "Broken Quality Sword" or even "Rotten Quality Book" as this will allow even more twists to their personality.
