The MXT2912TD-A has nearly 3,000 touch-sensing nodes, and the MXT2113TD-A, supports more than 2,000 nodes. These devices build upon Microchip's existing maXTouch touchscreen technology that is widely adopted by manufacturers worldwide. Both solutions offer superior signal-to-noise capability to address the requirements of thick lenses, even supporting multiple finger touches through thick gloves and in the presence of moisture.
The MXT2912TD-A and MXT2113TD-A devices incorporate self- and sensor-diagnostic functions, which constantly monitor the integrity of the touch system. These smart diagnostic features support the Automotive Safety Integrity Level (ASIL) classification index as defined by the ISO 26262 Functional Safety Specification for Passenger Vehicles.
They also feature technology that enables adaptive touch utilising self-capacitance and mutual-capacitance measurements, so all touches are recognised and false-touch detections are avoided.
Both also feature Microchip's proprietary new signal-shaping technology that significantly lowers emissions to help large touchscreens using maXTouch controllers meet CISPR-25 Level 5 requirements for electromagnetic interference in automobiles. The new touch controllers also meet automotive temperature grade 3 (-40 to +85°C) and grade 2 (-40 to +105°C) operating ranges and are AEC-Q100 qualified.
With the addition of the new maXTouch touchscreen controllers, Microchip is able to provide full scalability, offering, what s claims, is the industry's only complete and growing portfolio of automotive-qualified touchscreen controllers for the use of various screen sizes.
An evaluation kit is available for each of the parts in the new maXTouch touchscreen controller family. The kit includes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with the maXTouch touchscreen controller, a touch sensor on a clear glass lens, the Flat Printed Circuit (FPC) to connect to the sensor display, a converter PCB to connect the kit to the host computer via USB, as well as cables, software and documentation.
All parts are compatible with maXTouch Studio, a full software development environment to support the evaluation of maXTouch touchscreen controllers.


All the sales people from all around the country are gathering at a hotel in the big city. An agenda is set– you're going to hear from the president and CEO. VP of Sales. The marketing team might present their plan for the new fiscal year. A motivational keynote speaker inspires the troops. The national team goes into the city for a dinner cruise on the river. And the top producers in the company get awarded.
Why are they gathered? To hear your STORY. The company STORY. And if you don't tell the story, someone else will. Your competitors. Or your colleagues. Or someone who doesn't tell your story accurately. Your story your way.
Your STORY can live longer than the moment it was told by using video. You spend all this time, resources and money on telling your story at this conference. Make it last. Put it on video. Let your story be told over and over.
By incorporating video at your corporate conference, you bring sustainability, motivation, and excitement to the team. Your story, on video, reminds them of your company mission, corporate culture and the values throughout the year.
As the budgets for the big sales conference are poured over, it can be difficult to substantiate the importance of video. Some people might only look at the cost versus a direct measurable metric. But what our clients have seen, over and over, is that when video is used strategically, it can motivate and lift the sales team. Furthermore, it keeps them motivated much longer than without. Sales rise. Over and over.
A recap video brings the feelings, the motivation, the excitement right back up to the forefront of their minds weeks and months later. When there's no video, things vanish from the memory at a much faster rate. Lots of clips of faces, stunning and compelling excerpts from powerful talks, that moment when the guy was honored for his community work, unbeknownst to him, the fun of the golf tournament. All these things continue to motivate, pull the team closer together, energize the field force. It's the STORY of the event. The story of the company.
With planning, videos can be created pre-event to add excitement and spice to the meeting. Whether they're funny segues and meeting openers, or support videos to illustrate important speaking points, conference video is powerful.
What we have found is just having camera crews following representatives makes them feel special– like they're a player in Hollywood. And that's one purpose of the national sales conference– to let them know how special they are to the company. Lights. Cameras. Action. It's part of your STORY to the team.
And then that moment, in the last hours of the conference, they see the week played out on the big screen. They laugh. And learn. They experience the passion and culture of the company. The team will remember the meeting for the next twelve months by continually reliving it every time they click play.
Some of our clients make use of the large national conferences and seminars to build a training library. At this event, they'll have some of their best and brightest on the stage, and the magic from the lights and the energy from the audience can create wonderful messages that need to be repeated throughout the year.
Even if you aren't a believer in the power of video to motivate the sales team, the training that can come from your conference can be a huge cost saver throughout the year. Proper video training creates consistent methods, cost saving techniques, sales tips, and many other ways to increase a corporation's bottom line. This establishes the STORY for the team. They are taught to go back home and repeat the story to their team members and to their customers and clients.
Video coverage at the corporate conference pays for itself. So the investment the company makes by utilizing the powerful tool of video, consistently comes back in creased productivity, increased sales, and renewed passion. Video makes a difference.

Greeting the jawans on the occasion, the Prime Minister said their devotion to duty in the remote icy heights, is enabling the strength of the nation, and securing the future and the dreams of 125 crore Indians, a statement from his office said.
Mr. Modi recalled that he has been visiting soldiers on Diwali ever since he was the Chief Minister of Gujarat. He also spoke of his interactions with the jawans of the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), years ago when he was part of the Kailash Mansarovar Yatra.
The Prime Minister said India is taking great strides forward in the defence sector. He spoke of various measures being taken for the welfare of ex-servicemen, including implementation of 'one rank, one pension' (OROP).
Mr. Modi said that the Indian Armed Forces draw admiration and appreciation across the world, in UN peacekeeping operations. The Prime Minister offered sweets to the jawans. He also interacted with people from nearby areas who had gathered to greet him on Diwali.
Harshil is a cantonment area situated at a height of 7,860 feet close to the India-China border in Uttarkashi district. The Prime Minister is scheduled to go to Kedarnath later in the day to offer prayers and review the progress of reconstruction projects at Kedarpuri. Kedarpuri, the township situated close to the Himalayan shrine, had bore the brunt of the catastrophic floods of 2013 which killed thousands of people.

The Ampere Altra Review: 2x 80 Cores Arm Server Performance Monster
As we're wrapping up 2020, one last large review item for the year is Ampere's long promised new Altra Arm server processor. This year has indeed been the year where Arm servers have had a breakthrough; Arm's new Neoverse-N1 CPU core had been the IP designer's first true dedicated server core, promising focused performance and efficiency for the datacentre.
Earlier in the year we had the chance to test out the first Neoverse-N1 silicon in the form of Amazon's Graviton2 inside of AWS EC2 cloud compute offering. The Graviton2 seemed like a very impressive design, but was rather conservative in its goals, and it's also a piece of hardware that the general public cannot access outside of Amazon's own cloud services.
Ampere Computing, founded in 2017 by former Intel president Renée James, built upon initial IP and design talent of AppliedMicro's X-Gene CPUs, and with Arm Holdings becoming an investor in 2019, is at this moment in time the sole "true" merchant silicon vendor designing and offering up Neoverse-N1 server designs.
To date, the company has had a few products out in the form of the eMAG chips, but with rather disappointing performance figures - understandable given that those were essentially legacy products based on the old X-Gene microarchitecture.
Ampere's new Altra product line, on the other hand is the culmination of several years of work and close collaboration with Arm – and the company first "true" product which can be viewed as Ampere pedigree.
Today, with hardware in hand, we're finally taking a look at the very first publicly available high-performance Neoverse based Arm server hardware, designed for nothing less than maximum achievable performance, aiming to battle the best designs from Intel and AMD.
Mount Jade Server with Altra Quicksilver
Ampere has supplied us with the company's server reference design, dubbed "Mount Jade", a 2-socket 2U rack unit sever. The server came supplied with two Altra Q80-33 processors, Ampere's top-of-the-line SKU with each featuring 80 cores running at up to 3.3GHz, with TDP reaching up to 250W per socket.
We suspect the server was designed with close collaboration with GIGABYTE, as previously hinted by the two company's announcements of leading hyperscale deployments of the Altra platforms. The Ampere-branded Mount Jade DVT reference motherboard comes in a typical GIGABYTE-blue colour scheme and features 2 sockets with up to 16 DIMM slots per socket, reaching up to 4TB DRAM capacity per socket, although our review unit came equipped with 256GB per socket across 8 DIMMs to fully populate the chip's 8-channel memory controllers.
This is also our first look at Ampere's first-generation socket design. The company doesn't really market any particular name to the socket, but it's a massive LGA4926 socket with a pin-count in excess of any other commercial server socket from AMD or Intel. The holding mechanism is somewhat similar to that of AMD's SP3 system, with a holding mechanism tensioned by a 5-point screw system.
The chip itself is absolutely humongous and amongst the current publicly available processors is the biggest in the industry, out-sizing AMD's SP3 form-factor packaging, coming in at around 77 x 66.8mm – about the same length but considerably wider than AMD's counterparts.
Although it's a massive chip with a huge IHS, the Mount Jade server surprised me with its cooling solution as the included 250W type cooler only made contact with about 1/4th the surface area of the heat spreader.
Ampere here doesn't have a recessed "lip" around the IHS for the mounting bracket to hold onto the chip like on AMD or Intel systems, so the actual IHS surface is actually recessed in relation to the bracket which means you cannot have a flat surface cooler design across the whole of the chip surface.
Instead, the included 250W design cooler uses a huge vapour chamber design with a "pedestal" to make contact with the chip. Ampere explains that they've experimented with different designs and found that a smaller area pedestal actually worked better for heat dissipation – siphoning heat off from the actual chip die which is notably smaller than the IHS and chip package.
The cooler design is quite complex, with vertical fin stacks dissipating heat directly off the vapour chamber, with additional large horizontal fins dissipating heat from 6 U-shaped heat pipes that draw heat from the vapour chamber. It's definitely a more complex and high-end design than what we're used to in server coolers.
Although the Mount Jade server is definitely a very interesting piece of hardware, our focus today lies around the actual new Altra processors themselves, so let's dive into the new Q80-33 80-core chip next.

Q: Calculating time it takes for a webpage to fully load in a webview I have an application that reads websites from a text file and then calculates the time it takes to fully load the webpage into the webview. I try to calculate the time by getting the time in milliseconds before I load the url into the webview and then get the time after the webpage has finished loading in the webview and taking the difference between the two, but it always comes out to 0. Any ideas why? The time it takes to load a webpage should be greater than 0?
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    // NUMSITES will be the number of websites contained in the sites.txt file.
    int NUMSITES = 4;
    int curSite = 0;
    long startTime = 0;
    long endTime = 0;
    long totTime = 0;
    boolean start = true;
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.requestWindowFeature(Window.FEATURE_NO_TITLE);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    final WebView wb = (WebView) findViewById(R.id.webView1);
    final String[] sites = new String[NUMSITES];
    getWebsites(sites);

        @Override

                curSite++;
            }
        }

    };

    wb.setWebViewClient(client);
    // Initial webpage
    wb.loadUrl("https://sites.google.com/site/imagesizetesting/one-1");
}

A: private long startTime;
private long finishedTime;

            @Override
            public void onPageStarted(WebView view, String url, Bitmap favicon) {

                 startTime = System.nanoTime();

            }

            @Override
            public void onPageFinished(WebView view, String url) {
                super.onPageFinished(view, url);

                finishedTime = System.nanoTime();

                long timeToFullLoad = finishedTime - startTime; // It will be in NANO, just convert it to seconds and enjoy
            }

A: Using on onProgressChanged method you can do this.
                 Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
                 long startTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();
                 long endTime = 0;
                 wv.setWebChromeClient(new WebChromeClient() {
                        public void onProgressChanged(WebView view, int progress) {
                            if(progress == 100 )
                                endTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();
                        }

                     });

A: It looks like you aren't setting startTime until after you have calculated the difference in time from the initial page load. You should put
startTime = cal.getTimeInMillis();

before the
wb.loadUrl("https://sites.google.com/site/imagesizetesting/one-1");

line. Otherwise when the initial page gets loaded, you are effectively subtracting 0 from endTime.

A: One possible solution would be a combination of onPageStarted, onPageFinished and onProgressChanged.
Start the timer in onPageStarted
End the timer in 100% of onProgressChanged or onPageFinished which ever is later.

That would explain to me how it was that the mirrors started a fire on the tower: the heat from the mirrors was being used to melt the salt in the pipes.
That also explains why the Ivanpah facility uses so much natural gas. It is needed to melt the salts every morning. See previous article on the natural gas consumption here.
Back in February 2016, 18% of the output from Ivanpah was offset by the natural gas consumed in order for the plant to get ready in the mornings.
Wind in the desert blows dust and dirt around. Some of the dirt settles on each of those hundreds of thousands of mirrors. Keep in mind how dirty your car gets if you leave it sitting outside. Same thing happens with the mirrors, only your car is not sitting out in the middle of the desert. Imagine how dirty our car would get sitting in the desert 24/7.
So, to offset the degradation in performance from having the mirrors coated with dirt, they have to be washed. They are turned horizontally facing down and a crew goes by and washes each of the garage-door-sized mirrors. Washing 347,000 mirrors. With water. In the desert.
Oh, about that wind that results in the mirrors being covered by dirt… Ever hold your hand outside the window while riding in a car, changing the angle of your hand, feeling the wind resistance on your palm? Ever fly a kite? The resistance on your hand and the ability to keep the kite in the air is due to wind generating lift against a surface.
Same thing happens with those mirrors. When the wind kicks into high gear it creates a danger of tearing a mirror off the mounting and launching it airborne doing a rather unpleasant kite imitation.
I have learned that when the wind is too high the mirrors have to be turned to the horizontal position (remember the wash setting just discussed?) to prevent damage. Oh, I think that also means that when there is high winds and lots of mirrors are turned horizontal, the diesel generators will have to kick in again, burning lots of earth-killing fossil fuels, just to keep the molten salt molten.
So, Ivanpah generates electricity during the day.
Only after the sun gets high enough in the sky.
Except when there are passing clouds.
And except when the wind is blowing too strong.
Yeah, I know these issues were baked into the design and everyone else has probably know about those features for a long time. Yeah, I'm slow on the uptake and have know that a long time. But I am slowly catching on. That's why I blog.

Maigret und der Fall Nahour (französisch: Maigret et l'affaire Nahour) ist ein Kriminalroman des belgischen Schriftstellers Georges Simenon. Er ist der 65. Roman einer Reihe von insgesamt 75 Romanen und 28 Erzählungen um den Kriminalkommissar Maigret. Der Roman entstand vom 2. bis 8. Februar 1966 in Epalinges und wurde vom 22. November bis 23. Dezember des Jahres in 27 Teilen von der französischen Tageszeitung Le Figaro vorabveröffentlicht. Die Buchausgabe folgte 1967 beim Verlag Presses de la Cité. Die erste deutsche Übersetzung von Hansjürgen Wille und Barbara Klau publizierte 1969 Kiepenheuer & Witsch im Sammelband mit Maigret und der Dieb sowie Maigret in Kur. 1985 veröffentlichte der Diogenes Verlag eine Neuübersetzung von Sibylle Powell.

In einer eiskalten Januarnacht versorgt Dr. Pardon, ein enger Freund Maigrets, die Wunde einer jungen Frau, auf die geschossen wurde. Doch seine Patientin und deren Begleiter verschwinden ebenso plötzlich wieder, wie sie aufgetaucht sind. Als am nächsten Morgen ein reicher Libanese und professioneller Spieler namens Nahour erschossen aufgefunden wird, zieht Kommissar Maigret rasch die Verbindung von dem mysteriösen Pärchen zum "Fall Nahour".

Inhalt

Es ist Freitag, der 14. Januar, in einem besonders kalten Winter in Paris. Der Arzt Dr. Pardon, mit dem Kommissar Maigret seit mehr als zehn Jahren befreundet ist, wird mitten in der Nacht von einem mysteriösen Paar aus dem Schlaf geklingelt. Er versorgt eine Schussverletzung im Rücken der Frau, während der Mann ihm weiszumachen versucht, er habe die Zufallsbekanntschaft zum Arzt begleitet, nachdem sie auf dem Boulevard Voltaire aus einem fahrenden Auto angeschossen worden sei. Doch ehe Dr. Pardon noch die Personalien seiner nächtlichen Besucher aufnehmen kann, nutzt das Pärchen die Gelegenheit zur gemeinsamen Flucht, als er nach getaner Arbeit seine Instrumente reinigt.

Am nächsten Morgen wird Kommissar Maigret in eine Villa in der Avenue du Parc de Montsouris gerufen, wo der Libanese Félix Nahour erschossen aufgefunden worden ist. Nahour war Spross einer international tätigen Bankiersfamilie, verdiente sein Geld allerdings als professioneller Spieler in Spielbanken. Schnell stellt sich heraus, dass die mysteriöse Patientin Dr. Pardons seine Frau Évelina Nahour ist, eine Holländerin und ehemalige Miss Europa, deren jung geschlossene Ehe mit dem reichen Libanesen bereits seit Jahren zerrüttet ist. Der nächtliche Begleiter ist ihr Geliebter Vicente Alvaredo, ein Kolumbianer, der in Paris studiert und ebenfalls Abkömmling eines vermögenden Clans ist. Noch in der Nacht haben sich beide nach Amsterdam abgesetzt, wo sie bei Évelinas Jugendfreundin Anna Keegel Unterschlupf gefunden haben.

Bei seinen Befragungen der Bewohner der Villa Nahour hat Maigret das Gefühl, von allen Seiten belogen zu werden. Louise Boudin, die Putzfrau, die den Toten gefunden hat, gibt sich verstockt. Nelly Velthuis, das Dienstmädchen Évelinas, ist nicht nur wie ihre Herrin Holländerin, sondern zeigt dieselbe unbekümmerte Naivität, von der Maigret nicht zu sagen weiß, ob sie echt oder gespielt ist. Schließlich gibt es noch den Libanesen Fouad Ouéni, eine Mischung aus Nahours Sekretär und Familienfreund, der ein Alibi in einem Spielcasino vorweist, das sich nicht bestätigen lässt, und der mit seinem arroganten Auftreten die Verhörsituation umdreht, um seinerseits den Kommissar über die Hintergründe der Tat auszufragen. Einzig Alvaredo, auf den Ouéni wiederholt den Verdacht zu lenken versucht, scheint Maigret aufrichtig in seiner Liebe zu der schönen Holländerin, die er gegen alle Vorbehalte seines Familienclans zu ehelichen gedenkt.

Trotz aller Lügen stellt sich am Ende heraus, dass Évelina in der fraglichen Nacht ihrem Mann ankündigte, ihn zu verlassen, um ihren kolumbianischen Geliebten zu heiraten. Nahour, für den eine Scheidung undenkbar war, bedrohte seine Frau mit einer Pistole. Alvaredo und Ouéni waren in dieser Situation anwesend, doch es war Letzterer, der eingriff und seinen langjährigen Freund Nahour erschoss, aus dessen Pistole sich zeitgleich ein Streifschuss auf seine Frau löste. Vordergründig trieben Rachegefühle den Sekretär zu seiner Tat, weil er sich durch die Abhängigkeit von seinem reichen Landsmann gedemütigt fühlte. Doch Maigret findet heraus, dass Ouéni seit Jahren der heimliche Liebhaber Évelinas war, auf deren Mann er schoss, um seine Geliebte zu schützen und gleichzeitig den Nebenbuhler Alvaredo zu belasten. Auch nach Ouénis Verhaftung kommt das wahre Motiv nicht ans Tageslicht, bis Maigret ein Jahr später im Schwurgerichtsprozess unter Eid die Wahrheit aussagen muss. Der Wirbel, den die Beziehung von Nahours Witwe mit seinem Sekretär in der Öffentlichkeit entfacht, zerstört die gemeinsamen Zukunftspläne der Holländerin und ihres kolumbianischen Verehrers. Maigret hat das Gefühl, er habe versagt und Ouéni trotz seiner Verurteilung zu einer Gefängnisstrafe am Ende das erreicht, was er wollte.

Interpretation

Tilman Spreckelsen beschreibt, wie im Verlauf der Maigret-Serie von 1931 bis 1972 zwar die Figur des Kommissars ebenso konstant bleibt wie sein Alter, das stets um die 50 Jahre herum liegt, sich das Dekor aber immer mehr der Moderne annähert. In Maigret und der Fall Nahour gibt es moderne Autos, das Fernsehen hat Einzug gehalten und Telefongespräche sind nicht länger auf die manuelle Vermittlung angewiesen. Die modernen Ermittlungsmethoden der Polizei sind jedoch nicht nach dem Geschmack des Kommissars, der seine Fälle lieber durch menschliches Verständnis löst als durch den "technischen Krimskrams", der zu einer indizienbasierten Ermittlung gehört. So sind laut Fenton Bresler die meisten kriminalistischen Analysemethoden in den Maigret-Romanen wenig überzeugend beschrieben, was auch für den Paraffintest in Maigret und der Fall Nahour gelte, nach dem sich ein Schusswaffengebrauch noch fünf Tage nach der Tat feststellen ließe. Simenon kommentierte die Abneigung seines Romanhelden gegen die moderne Polizeiarbeit Ende der 1970er Jahre: "Wenn Maigret heute noch bei der Polizei wäre, würde er schleunigst seinen Rücktritt einreichen". Jochen Schmidt bemerkt im Roman jedenfalls eine deutlich spürbare "Unlust am Dienst und den neuen Methoden".

Der "Held" der Maigret-Romane, wie es Welt und Wort formuliert, bleibt stets der Mensch. Der Kommissar analysiert die in den Fall verwickelten Personen mit all ihren Schwächen und gelangt so zu tieferen Erkenntnissen über die Menschen. Maigrets Einfühlungsvermögen geht so weit, dass er sich regelmäßig mit dem Opfer, dem Täter oder anderen in den Fall involvierten Personen identifiziert, was ihn laut Francis Lacassin in die Nähe eines Schauspielers rückt, der aus einem begrenzten Fundus immer neue Rollen hervorzaubern müsse. In Maigret und der Fall Nahour beschreibt der Kommissar an einer Stelle, dass er "eigentlich in jedem Milieu daheim sein müsste. Man sollte sich zum Beispiel in Spielcasinos auskennen, im internationalen Bankgeschäft, mit libanesischen Maroniten und Mohammedanern, mit ausländischen Bistros im Quartier Latin und in Saint-Germain sowie mit jungen Kolumbianern, ganz zu schweigen vom Niederländischen und von Schönheitswettbewerben." Doch trotz der fremden Kulturen, mit denen es Maigret im Roman zu tun bekommt, stellt sich für ihn am Ende heraus, dass die Menschen in ihrem Wesen, in ihren "innersten Trieben und Beweggründen" nicht sehr unterschiedlich sind.

Seinem tiefsitzenden Misstrauen bei der Untersuchung eines Falles verleiht Kommissar Maigret auf die Frage seines Assistenten Janvier hin Ausdruck: "»Glauben Sie, dass sie? …« »Vergiss nicht, dass ich vor Abschluss eines Falles nie etwas glaube.« Und mit skeptischem Lächeln fügte er hinzu: »Und selbst dann …«" Laut Murielle Wenger unterscheidet sich Maigrets Vorgehensweise wesentlich von der deduktiven Analyse eines Hercule Poirots, der mittels seiner grauen Zellen die Fälle wie ein herausforderndes Puzzle löst. Maigret hingegen ist es vor allem um das Verständnis für die Tat zu tun. René Descartes Formel "Ich denke, also bin ich." halte er ein "Ich denke nicht. Ich suche." entgegen. Allgemein hegt Kommissar Maigret eine tiefe Skepsis gegen jegliches Urteil über Menschen. Am Ende des Romans steht er vor dem Dilemma, das Wissen, das ihm um die Affäre zwischen dem Sekretär Ouéni und der Ehefrau des Toten zugefallen ist, zu verschweigen oder eine Aussage zu machen, die in die geplante Hochzeit der Holländerin eingreifen würde. Als er unter Eid gezwungen ist, Évelina Nahour zu belasten, fühlt er sich wie ein Verräter und gesteht anschließend seinem Freund Pardon: "Ich habe versagt".

Rezeption

The New Yorker beschrieb Maigret und der Fall Nahour als einen der späten Romane der Maigret-Reihe, der in puncto Atmosphäre, Finten und Wendungen der Handlung sowie der Qualität von Maigrets Einsichten "unter seinen allerbesten" rangiere. Für Jochen Schmidt gehörte derselbe Roman dagegen zu den "schwächeren Büchern" der Reihe.  Tilman Spreckelsen sprach von einem "extrem schwierigen und undurchsichtigen Fall", in dem sich Maigret vor allem durch seine "stupende Hartnäckigkeit" auszeichne. Laut Welt und Wort hat der Kommissar "große Mühe, das verworrene Dickicht von Verdachtsmomenten und vor allem Lügen zu durchdringen, ehe ihm Motive und Hergang der Tat klar werden."

Die Romanvorlage wurde 1978 im Rahmen der französischen Fernsehserie Les Enquêtes du commissaire Maigret mit Jean Richard als Kommissar Maigret verfilmt.

I like to read fiction. I lose all track of time when I ingest a real page-turner novel. It doesn't matter if it's a NY Times bestseller or a fledgling writer's first attempt.
But I don't write novels. I'm primarily known as a non-fiction writer. But this modest volume is obviously fiction!
I had a delightful time trying my wings imagining and writing these mini-stories through the years for a change of pace. I guess I did it just to see if I could. I had such fun that I collected them into this book so you could share my enjoyment. I hope my readers will not only be entertained but find some meaningful take-away value in the hidden spiritual principles.
Jesus used stories as His preferred method of communication. His parables always had an illustration which the common people related to and accepted. They understood. Some of the religious leaders of the day heard Him with hard, unaccpting, critical hearts. Therefore, they just didn't get it. Neither did His disciples at times, so He had to explain the quite obvious meaning later.
These selections may at first seem slanted toward juvenile readers, since I presented them in a fairy tale or fantasy format. They are, in fact, adult-oriented because of their symbolic and allegorical content.
I wrote these sketches to communicate biblical truth both for enjoyment and spiritual relevance. I have taken my own path to creatively express such truth and principles through humor and hyperbole. At times I interwove my contemporary poetry within the narrative.
These selections are what I choose to call "imagineerings" [my own word] developed from the following writing devices: parable, allegory, fable, metaphor, simile, analogy and dialogue.
I quite freely use anthropomorphic terminology. That means to ascribe human characteristics, emotions, speech, or attributes to a being or thing not human, including God. I call it personification, a poetic device which I've found to be an enchanting podium where ideas or emotions speak for themselves. I focus a spotlight on simple ideas and amplify them with fantasy. I try to unlock the doors to the reader's imagination. I do use a bit of poetic, artistic or dramatic license.
I tried to present these life-contemplations in subtle ways without moralizing or preaching. I respect the intelligence and imagination of my readers to draw their own moral conclusions or applications.
Each person who encounters these sketches will find something different from the next person. And every time we enter one of these mini-stories we are different persons than we were when we read it the first time. At each repeated reading we may find some new insight to understand ourselves and the nature of our unique life journey.
These pieces are not necessarily autobiographical, although some do reflect my personal responses to life and my relationship with God. Others echo the experiences and thoughts of humankind in general.
Each of these vignettes may stand alone, but overall they have something in common: a Christian worldview. When I "speak for God" in the dialogues, it is not in any prophetic or inspired sense. I support or source my ideation with relevant biblical references either quoted in full or only cited. I call those supporting pillars at the conclusion of each story, "From The RESOURCE BOOK," which is obviously the Christian Scriptures.
I welcome the reader to enjoy these unconventional original "imagineerings." There are 31 of them, one for each day of a month. You could gobble down this book at one sitting, but you might get indigestion and not benefit for spiritual nourishment as you would if you took your time to meditate in a more leisurely way on each one.
ORDERING is easy from the BOOKSTORE on this site.


Happy seventh anniversary, Prodigy family!! Seven years: Seven tryouts, seven minicamps, seven first practices, seven season openers…seven years of expectation, pre-game jitters, post-game celebrations and frustrations. Seven years of watching my wildest dreams play out right in front of me by a cast of seven years' worth of the most fearless people I've ever known.
From the bottom of my heart, I thank all of you because I know that you are 100% a part of that "something special." Whether you have been constant companions on this seven-year journey with us, or if you have just joined the family, you are the reason we've been able to grow and succeed. Your effort is reflected in everything we do, on and off the field. Because of you we are seven years strong, and can't wait to celebrate more anniversaries.
Here's to a successful seventh season.

School suspends child for using finger as pretend gun while playing with friends
OSCEOLA COUNTY, Fla. - An Osceola County mother is outraged after she said her 8-year-old son was kicked out of class for playing cops with his friends at Harmony Community School and using his finger to simulate a handgun.
Jordan Bennett was suspended from school for the day, but his mother, Bonnie, said she's now worried her son be labeled as violent with a suspension on his record.
"He had nothing in his hand. It was a finger gun, a pretend gun," Bennett said.
But as it turns out, the school considered the gesture to be an act of violence.
"He didn't threaten violence. He didn't utter words that were inappropriate. He made a sound and used his fingers and that was it," said Bennett.
Bennett told Channel 9 she believes there are more effective ways the district could have disciplined her son than having him miss school for the day.
"A written apology," she said. "If he would have written an essay about why it was inappropriate, what he did, that would have made more of an impact."
Instead, Bennett said her son was forced to miss an entire day of instruction.
"I absolutely think he should be in school," she said.
Bennett said her son has never been in detention or suspended before. She hopes by speaking out that administrators will start distinguishing between an actual threat and a pretend game.
The school district told Channel 9 due to student confidentiality, they cannot comment on individual cases. They did say their code of conduct prohibits students from playing with invisible guns.

1. Praise your employees. Praise is an important condition for the loyalty of employees to management and the whole company. The bosses will not have any trouble telling the employee "thank you" for the work done. For example, thanks to the secretary for the competent schedule of meetings. Simply enough to say "thank you" that in future the secretary was interested in coping with his functions even more effectively.
2. Contact an employee by name. In small companies, managers know their employees by name. But with a constant increase in the number of employees, there can be certain difficulties with remembering the names of all employees. Employees work in his company for 15-20 years – and experience confirms that nothing sounds more pleasing to a person than his own name.
3. Provision of additional rest. Many managers can confirm how important it is for employees to have additional rest in the form of compensatory time off, the opportunity to come later or leave work early. Such privileges are not always offered and not for everyone – you need to deserve such a right.
4. Presentation of memorable gifts. Widespread motivation of personnel (especially for employees of manufacturing enterprises). Employees are given charters, cups and other symbolic awards. The General Director of the company "TOP PERSONAL VIRTUAL ASSISTANT", has learned from his experience how effective this approach can be.
5. Prospects for career growth. Quite effective staff motivation, as the workers themselves say. After all, the prospects of career growth can inspire and motivate to achieve excellent results in the work, contributing to the success of the company. The employee understands that he has a chance to achieve new positions and prospects in the company due to his efforts.
6. Clear objectives and evaluation criteria.
7. Opportunity to express your opinion and be heard. In the company's work many managers prefer to involve their companies and ordinary employees in solving global problems. It is important for the employee to feel the importance of his contribution to the overall development of the company.
8. Personal contact with the head of the company. Important importance is given to personal contact with employees, with whom management is not obliged to meet on their status. Many well-known businessmen, successful businessmen resort to this approach. For example, the legend of world business Richard Branson decides to respond to the letters of his employees personally.
9. Free lunch. Some companies organize free meals once a week. This motivation of the personnel was mainly disseminated in the work of IT companies.
10. Honor board. Motivation of staff involves recognizing the results and achievements of the employee for a certain period. In particular, McDonald's is known for his stands "The Best Worker of the Month", and the "100% Fitness Center" network names the best employees in the internal radio. In addition, the best worker is trying to maintain his leadership, while others will strive to impose competition and surpass the winner.
11. Ability to work at home. Only a quarter of managers and entrepreneurs in our country provide employees with the flexibility to work flexibly or remotely. But experience tells us that employees working at home have an increase in labor productivity by 15%. Although representatives of all positions and specialties may not work at home.
12. Honorary title of the employee's position. A fairly common way of motivating staff.
13. Corporate gatherings. 10% of managers in our country periodically collect their own team for various holidays in bowling, bar, etc. Many employees like this approach with informal evenings. There are excellent opportunities for joint leisure in a relaxed atmosphere, and just a great chance to relax, gain strength before future work success.
15. Discounts for services. Quite effective motivation of the personnel in different organizations is corporate discounts for employees on different goods and services of their company. Employees positively perceive their savings, loyalty to the company increases. If the company specializes in several areas in its work, then without providing such corporate discounts simply can not do.
16. Granting of prizes. All employees at the end of the year count on receiving various gifts, bonuses and bonuses from the employer. They can be given out for achievement of the set goals and plans – providing motivation for employees.
17. Motivational board. Few leaders are familiar with this term, we'll talk more about it. In fact, the motivational board is a standard marker board, which is a clear dynamic indicator of the sales level for the current date for each department or manager, and also reflects the personal contribution of the employee to the common cause.
18. Payment for staff training. To achieve professionalism in any work, it is important for the employee to strive for improvement in his specialty. After all, enthusiastic in his training, an employee will be able to achieve career growth and skill development, with the development of additional skills. Therefore, learning and knowledge can become an important motivating factor. For such motivation there can be different ways.
19. Payment for a fitness club ticket. Quite effective motivation is to pay for hobbies and hobbies of employees.
20. Control as a method of motivating staff. Many managers are convinced of the need to control employees. Control really allows you to motivate employees. The main idea is to provide employees with the opportunity to make independent decisions on all issues for which centralized control is not required. Allow employees to change any aspects of their work environment themselves, if they do not lead to a threat to the image and security of the company.
21. Salary. Salary is one of the main ways to motivate employees. Therefore, if you can not initially provide a sufficient salary for an employee, the remaining methods will be ineffective and collateral. The comfortable salary level for different employees varies. It is important to understand and what level of wages will be permanent, and which is flexible.
22. Bank of ideas. You should be interested in the opinions and thoughts of your employees.
23. Employee participation in profits / options.
24. Payment for travel and mobile communication.

Dispatches from the Winnipeg Folk Festival – Day 2 (Friday)
Zoë Buscho
11:30 a.m.: Arrived at Folk Fest again with easier than expected parking. Very impressed with how they keep the cars moving considering there are so many people here! Wandering in, we quickly discovered a fruit cart courtesy of Jardins St-Léon Gardens and bought a small carton filled with mandarin oranges. Not many festivals can offer you a snack like that!
Where else but the Winnipeg Folk Fest can you buy something as healthy as oranges to snack on?
12:00 a.m.: Oranges in hand, we went to go check out Wallis Bird of Ireland at the Little Stage in the Forest. Bird was a one woman show, but her guitar skills were more than impressive to say the least. With just her acoustic in hand, she was able to produce a variety of different sounds that were captivating us as we ventured the path to the stage. Later she broke a string mid-song but kept on playing! While they were addressing the guitar issue, Wallis didn't miss a beat and started singing a cappella and picked right back up once she had her guitar back. Unfortunately, my fellow folkies seemed to be looking for more of a mellow atmosphere, so when Bird attempted to reach out and get audience participation, it really wasn't there. I feel that her show would have been better suited for a later time or a more active crowd!
1:30 p.m.: For lunch we stopped at both King + Bannatyne and Kyu Grill. At King + Bannatyne, we grabbed some brisket sandwiches. They were delicious, and a great snack in between shows. The iced tea there was a great thirst quencher as well! Some of us also stopped at Kyu Grill for a Hiroshima, which is a mix between a kebab and a hotdog. They're a favourite of many judging by the lines coming from their stand.
Brisket sandwiches at King + Bannatyne. Folk fests are not just about music!
3:00 p.m.: With bellies full, we went to the Shady Grove to check out one of the mentor sessions featuring the LYNNeS, the Americana duo from Ottawa formed by Lynn Miles and Lynne Hanson. These mentor sessions are actually a great opportunity; called the Stingray Youth Performers, young musicians are chosen to workshop and learn from the featured musicians, and then are able to perform what they have learned in front of a live audience at the Shady Grove. This was a super relaxed environment, with many people resting off lunch and just enjoying the music.
4:30 p.m.: As mid-afternoon hits, we're in desperate need of shade, so we venture again to the Little Stage in the Forest and relax while hearing Amythyst Kiah. She is a self-described 'Southern Gothic' blues singer from Johnson City, Tennessee. In the background, bugs are starting to make their own music, which only adds to the performance. This was one of my favourite parts of the day, as Kiah played a variety of songs that were just perfect for the venue.
6:00 p.m.: After leaving the safety of the shade at the Little Stage, we ventured back to the food stands to grab a quick dinner prior to the full night ahead of us. Checked out Stella's and Kyu Grill again.
7:00 p.m.: Went to check out Winnipeg's own Boniface at the Blue Blue @ Night stage. Boniface, with an indie pop aesthetic, did not disappoint. The crowd loved his stage show, and you could see the passion and love he holds for his craft in the outstanding performance he put on. Boniface put not only emotion but heart into his songs, which created a great atmosphere for the audience. I was up and dancing his whole performance, as were most other folkies in the audience!
8:15 p.m.: Stopped at the beer gardens right next to the Big Blue @ Night stage for a quick beer between shows!
9:00 p.m.: Real Estate, an indie rock band from New Jersey, were next on the stage at Big Blue. They provided a nice relaxing time following the high energy Boniface show. During their set you could really just close your eyes and listen to the guitars and go off into your own world. It was a long set, and they extended their guitar solos for what felt like about 15 minutes!
9:40 p.m.: After catching most of the Real Estate show, we quickly ventured over to the main stage to catch The Strumbellas, the popular pop folk band from Ontario. The main stage was full of folkies, both standing on the sides and relaxing on blankets strewn about in front of the stage. When they started playing their hit "Spirits," the crowd went wild!
11:00 p.m.: Courtney Barnett, the Aussie indie darling, took the main stage as the last performance of the night. We were able to push quite close to the front and got just a great view of Courtney and her guitar. This was my favourite performance for dancing, as everyone around me was having just a blast during the whole show. What an end to the night!
And rounding it up…
Stand-Out Performance: Having been recommended by a friend to check out Wallis Bird's show, I was not disappointed. Her skills on the guitar were top notch, and the talent and artistry she put into her show was a great find in my wanderings during the day.
Favourite Moment: Any of the many shows we watched at the Little Stage in the Forest! So far this has been my favourite area of the festival, as it feels just a bit away from all the craziness that is the main grounds.
Friday was a blast, and I'm hoping that Saturday will be just as eventful! Check back tomorrow to see how my Saturday went at the wonder that is the Winnipeg Folk Fest!

Emmylou Harris, in the moment
Her new album is called 'Hard Bargain,' but at 64, the singer-songwriter seems at ease with her life thus far.
By Randy Lewis, Los Angeles Times
http://www.latimes.com/
NASHVILLE —— Emmylou Harris is trailed by a ragtag parade of eager dogs when she answers a knock at the door of the comfortable two-story home on a fenceless parcel a few miles from downtown Nashville, where she lives with her 89-year-old mother, Eugenia.
The singer and songwriter greets a visitor with the same unguarded openness with which she has welcomed in a steady stream of abandoned, abused or otherwise homeless canines as part of the Bonaparte's Retreat animal rescue operation she's run for the last several years.
One of them, Bella, is a large, gentle mutt who is the subject of "Big Black Dog," one of the songs from Harris' forthcoming album "Hard Bargain," her first in nearly three years. It's a lighthearted yet sincere ode to the loyalty and unconditional love that she prizes about her work with her animal companions.
"We probably give them too many human qualities, but they inhabit a world we might never understand. That's one of the reasons they can help us be more human," she says, settling into a small sofa in an upstairs bedroom she's converted into a music room. It's one of a couple of spaces at home where she likes to write.
Sheets of paper with lyrics are nearby on a music stand, a raft of guitars rest a few feet away, poised to assist when inspiration strikes. The walls around the stairway that leads to her workspace are adorned with family photos; inside her office are framed pictures and artwork of a smattering of the musicians — Johnny Cash and June Carter, Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Gram Parsons — she's worked with over a recording career that now spans more than four decades since her largely unheralded debut album, "Gliding Bird," yet another animal allusion in her long, distinguished career.
"From the time you're born until the end of your life, I think they are our dearest companions," says Harris, her white-silver hair pulled up through a black scrunchie into a pony tail. She's wearing a comfortable black sweater, stylish scarf and knockabout thick black pants on a cool spring day during which the area is under the specter of tornado warnings.
An interaction with an animal is far less complicated than a relationship with another human. The latter are at the heart of Harris' new songs examining life from her perspective at 64. Married and divorced three times, she sings with more surprise than lament in "Nobody" and "Lonely Girl" about finding herself without a life partner at this point in life.
"No more teenage love," she says with an unforced grin. "Every time I do 'Love Hurts,' which I still do occasionally, I have to give a wry smile when I go 'I'm young/I know … .'" She sings the phrase, pauses, then adds a lightly defiant "I'm not" to the line from the Everly Brothers hit, which she famously covered in a duet with country-rock innovator Parsons in the early 1970s.
She also addresses her long-ago creative and romantic relationship with Parsons, who helped introduce the world to the angelic beauty of Harris' voice before he died at age 26 in 1973. His effect on her career was monumental, and the boost he gave her, musically and professionally, is something she's returned to dozens of musicians in the succeeding years.
"The Road," which serves as the album's opening track, brings an evenhanded understanding of what others might look at as tragic. "I couldn't save you, and no one was to blame," she sings.
She has alluded to Parsons over the years, notably in her 1985 concept album "The Ballad of Sally Rose," about a young singer making her way in the world. But "The Road" may be the most directly autobiographical song she's written about that time in her life, raising the question: Why now?
"The first lines just came out and from then on all I had to do was just tell the story," she says. "It just kind of fell out."
In the absence of motivation to write anything more on the subject of young love, she also turns her attention to issues that continue to capture her attention, as in "The Ballad of Emmett Till," her Dylan-esque recounting of the story of the African American teenager from Chicago who was killed in 1955 for speaking to a white woman on a trip to visit relatives in rural Mississippi.
The song points to her unwavering compassion throughout her career for the underdog, oppressed, the voiceless, the disenfranchised members of society, human or nonhuman. That's taken the form of the numerous benefits she's participated in, including those aiding land mine awareness campaigns, animal rescue and efforts to preserve and protect country music history.
She was a linchpin in the preservation of the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the home of the Grand Ole Opry from 1943 to 1974. The building came close to being leveled after the Opry moved its base from downtown Nashville to be part of the Opryland theme park.
Harris hasn't appeared in the upper reaches of the country sales charts in more than a decade.
She arrived in 1975 with her major-label debut album, "Pieces of the Sky," as both a rock-influenced rebel and a keeper of the country flame, recording tradition-minded material by the likes of Dolly Parton and the Louvin Brothers as well as genre-blind songs by Bruce Springsteen and the Beatles. She has championed the work of emerging talents including Ricky Skaggs, Vince Gill, Lucinda Williams, Rodney Crowell, Steve Earle and Conor Oberst.
As the country establishment began turning a blind eye to artists 40 and older, Harris moved on musically, connecting with producer Daniel Lanois for her watershed 1995 album, "Wrecking Ball," which won the Grammy for contemporary folk album — one of 12 she's collected in various categories over the years — and opened a new sonic world for her, one closer to the work of U2 than country chart-toppers such as Faith Hill and Shania Twain.
"It's rare that an artist can do something like 'Wrecking Ball,' which was probably her 20th record, that is that much of a reinvention, that much of a leap of imagination, and possibly her greatest record up to that time," said David Bither, senior vice president of Nonesuch Records, the label that signed Harris five years after the release of "Wrecking Ball."
"Paul Simon has a new record out that is one of the strongest records of his career," Bither said. "Emmy is still making important albums. It's not as if as you get older you stop becoming relevant, and those great artists, those we've been privileged to be around 30 or 40 years, it is important to be able to have them."
After joining Nonesuch, she made another breakthrough with "Red Dirt Girl," in which the woman who'd spent the previous quarter-century solidifying her reputation as one of the premier vocal interpreters in modern country suddenly blossomed as a songwriter, something she'd done to that point only sporadically, if impressively, on "Boulder to Birmingham" from the early "Pieces of the Sky."
"I kind of got my marching orders from Daniel Lanois and [revered Texas singer-songwriter] Guy Clark at the same time," she says. "After 'Wrecking Ball,' Dan said, 'You need to write for your next record.' Shortly after that, Guy — I was sitting across from them at their house one Christmas, with Rodney — and he said, 'You need to write your next record, and I don't care if it takes you five years.' And it did — it took me five years. But then I thought, 'OK, I have written, and I can at least try,' so that's what I did.
"The other thing was, I wanted to follow through. 'Wrecking Ball' was such a revelation to me: the sound and the intense emotion of the music, and I knew I wanted to keep in that sonic world. But I also knew the price you had to pay for that — because you have to make sacrifices to the music gods — was that I needed to bring something new to the table. … I don't play an instrument, I couldn't become a jazz singer; this is the voice that I have. So the only thing I could bring to the table was my own song."
She wrote or co-wrote 11 of the 13 songs on "Hard Bargain," looking outside only for the title track, by Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith, and producer Jay Joyce's "Cross Yourself," both spiritually attuned songs.
Of Sexsmith's song, she says, "I heard it, I don't want to say as a spiritual, but I didn't hear it as a love song. Although I think it can be about a particular person, whether it's about a lover or a close friend, to me it was about the thing that keeps pulling us back into the world."
"I just turned 64," she says with more than a small tone of disbelief in her voice. "You remember back when the Beatles sang that and you thought, 'I'll never be 64.' It was like it was the end of the world. Now, it's not young, it's not old, it just is. So you're in that moment.
"I think one of the keys to any kind of peace in the world is to live in the moment. I guess that's why I love dogs so much, because they are so in the moment. They just keep bringing you back to that."

Tagore's Poetry in English Translation By Dr. Md. Abu Zafor
Tagore's Poetry in English Translation By Dr. Md. Abu Zafor photo source: http://myblogs.informa.com/ Rabindranath Tagore's poems began to appear in English translation in the first decade of the twentieth century. Tagore's self-translated Nobel winning Gitanjali: Song Offerings, which contains prose translations of a collection of 103 poems translated from his nine different Bengali works, was first published in 1912. Before 1912 the only published work that included some translations of Tagore's poems is Echoes from East and West.1That Tagore himself played a significant role in translating his poems is well-known. For more than a decade he almost single-handedly translated his poems. Translations by other translators began to appear in print from 1922. The colonial phase of the 20th century (till 1947) produced at least twelve translated works from his Bengali poems, out of which six were by Tagore himself. Between 1948 and 2011 more.

Twentieth Century Bengali Poetry in English Translation In this globalized world translation is a vehicle to reach the audiences across borders. It is known to us all that Rabindranath Tagore won the Nobel Prize for his translated work Gitanjali: Song Offerings in 1913. Many of us, however, don't know that Tagore translated many more of his poems and published them from London. Many have little idea about the stock of the translated Bangla poetry. The book Twentieth Century Bengali Poetry in English Translation published from Dhaka by Asiatic Society of Bangladesh gives a comprehensive idea about the total stock of the twentieth century Bengali poetry in English translation. The introduction of this book focuses on various aspects of these translations such as the availability of translations, the publishers, popularity of translations, the translators, quality of translations etc. The book can be used as a reference work and is expected to e

How to write an MA dissertation / Thesis What is an MA dissertation / Thesis? Writing a thesis or dissertation is a part of a university degree. In some Universities/Institutes writing a dissertation is the precondition of gaining an MA degree. Some Universities offer thesis/dissertation only to the brighter students and as optional. For writing an MA thesis/dissertation students usually choose an area/topic where there is already some research work. It is the credit of the students to add to their individual thoughts to the available knowledge/study that they explore. In fact, the objective of this dissertation course is to engage the students in activities that need intellectual inquiry, sharp argumentation and scholarship. The students must follow a systematic way and guidelines to complete their writings within a time framework. For completing an MA dissertation students usually get 4 to 6 months time. An MA dissertation is obviously a research work....... To Read and

Q: function onTouch() for LinearLayout doesn't work I have file FirstLevel where user goes from the main file(mainActivity). I need to add LinearLayouts to the screen in FirstLevel (these LinearLayouts contain two TextViews and are realised in separate XML-file), when user touches the screen. But, actually, nothing happens, I don't see any added LinearLayouts.
public class First_level extends AppCompatActivity implements View.OnTouchListener {
    ImageButton firstButton;
    //boolean flag = true;
    String[] replics  = {...}; //filled massives
    String[] who = {...};

        gameWindow.setOnTouchListener(this);
    }

    void npcsay(String text, String hero)
    {
        LinearLayout gameWindow = findViewById(R.id.mesWin);
        LinearLayout view = (LinearLayout) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.message, gameWindow, false);
        TextView username = view.findViewById(R.id.name);
        username.setText(hero);
        TextView ttxt = view.findViewById(R.id.point);
        ttxt.setText(text);
        gameWindow.addView(view, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT, ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

        android:textSize="21sp" />

</LinearLayout>

That is how first_level XML looks like.

A: Is commonly good pratice to use "ViewGroup.addView(child, LayoutParams)" instead of just "addView()" especially when XML Layout has main ViewGroup set as "width/height: match_parent". Infact default LayoutParams assigned to any inflated View (using "addView(child)" is "wrap_content" for both Widht and Height and in this way the inflated view cannot be measured well and its dimensions will be [0,0].
Please check your XML Layout file: it should be measurable from its own (in other words it should not depends of Parent width/height). If it should depends of Parent's ViewGroup then you cannot use "addView(child)" but you need

*

*addView(child, new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(..., ...));

according to your View.
If you're not sure about it please post your XML "R.layout.message" file.

A: I found your problem.
You set onTouchListener to LinearLayout(R.id.mesWin).
But size of LinearLayout is 0. (Because you set it's size to wrap_content).
So you can fix it by two methods.
First method:
You can change TouchListener to gameWindow.
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.first_level);
    View gameWindow = findViewById(R.id.gameWindow);
    gameWindow.setOnTouchListener(this);
}

Second method:
You can change height of LinearLayout(mesWin).
So you need to add fillViewport="true" option to ScrollView
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"

    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@color/fillback"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    tools:context=".MainActivity"
    android:fillViewport="true">

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/mesWin"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

San Diego leads nation with highest World Cup rating
The 'Patrouille de France' military aircrafts pass over the Champs Elysees avenue as French supporters greet their national soccer team players during a parade down the Champs-Elysee avenue in Paris.
(CHRISTOPHE PETIT TESSON / EFE)
By Jay Posner
Despite the early 8 a.m. PDT start time, San Diego had the highest Nielsen TV rating among major markets for Sunday's World Cup final between France and Croatia, according to Fox Sports.
The rating in San Diego was 13.8, with a 33 share. That means one-third of the people watching TV from 7:45 a.m. until 10 a.m. Sunday were watching the game on Fox. It does not include people watching on Telemundo or away from home. Each rating point is equivalent to 10,028 households in San Diego County.
San Diego was up early to be the #1 market for the World Cup Final. Top ten markets for France-Croatia:
San Diego - 13.8
Washington - 13.6
San Francisco - 13.0
New York - 12.5
Los Angeles - 11.2
Denver - 10.7
Miami - 10.6
Austin - 10.2
Dallas - 9.8
Kansas City - 9.5 https://t.co/7ZAhfLlGB5
— Michael Mulvihill (@mulvihill79) July 16, 2018
Washington, D.C. was second (13.6), followed by San Francisco (13.0), New York (12.5) and Los Angeles (11.2). There were no other West Coast markets in the top 10.
For the entire World Cup tournament, which lasted just over a month, Washington had the highest average rating (3.8), followed by San Francisco (3.3), Miami (3.2), Austin (3.2) and San Diego in a tie for fifth with New York (3.1).
The national overnight (or preliminary) average rating for Sunday's final was 8.3, down 14 percent from a 9.7 rating for the 2014 final between Germany and Argentina. The 2014 final kicked off four hours later, at noon PDT. San Diego's rating in 2014 was 16.3 — about 15 percent higher than Sunday.

New Neilson May 6, 2021
Maya Lin: Artist's Statement
Smith College—Neilson Library

In designing the Neilson Library, I envisioned a dance between old and new. The design would reconnect the library to the heart of the campus, and to the layout envisaged by Frederick Olmsted.
By preserving the exterior walls and original foundation footprint of the original Neilson, the new library retains the memory of the original structure and takes full advantage of building on the foundation of the library. But the interior speaks to the needs of students, faculty and scholars today, with more room for collaborating and socializing. There's a café, plenty of room for digital tools, and even studios to record a podcast—but it's still a home for books. I still believe in the beauty of ink and paper books.
When one enters the library it's through the historic, eastern entry. At this entry point the east facing windows retain the historic divided light windows, while the western windows facing the Burton Lawn are stripped of the mullions to reflect the transitioning of the building from historic to present day. The curved, organically shaped jewel boxes are a gentle contrast to the original, orthogonal design, and a reflection of my aesthetic—that explores a more hand drawn organic form. They are like bookends that help create a dialogue between the old and new construction.
There is an intentional delicacy to the jewel box additions. I also chose the curved design to invite seating and reading. The human body cannot sit in a corner, but you can inhabit the curves. The curved design enables students, faculty and visitors to surround the Special Collections—importantly, one of the largest collections of women's history of any college in the world. The two jewel box additions are a measured contrast. In the south jewel box, which houses the Special Collections, visitors surround the books—set apart in an interior glass encased volume that appears to travel through all floors of the space. This articulation of the Special Collections also allows for the isolation of the most energy-intensive storage needs of the Special Collections, helping to make this library one of the most energy efficient libraries to be built in the country.
Connection to, and attention to, the exterior spaces surrounding the library was a very important consideration. With Edwina von Gal and Ryan Associates, I was able to create main entry landscapes that provide seating and entrance ways at all four entry points to the library and also create a shared space to the adjacent buildings. With its smaller footprint, the new Neilson frees up the historic Olmsted campus, while inviting people to sit in an outdoor amphitheater or the grassy lawns in front of each jewel box. Once inside, you are always connected to the campus: from the jewel boxes, which visually link to the campus surroundings, to the sunken courtyard with views to the outside, to the rooftop vista that connects one to the surrounding mountains on a clear day, and of course the oculus sun scoop, which invites natural light.
All projects are personal in their own way, but Neilson was especially so. I would not exist were it not for the scholarship to Smith College that enabled my mother to escape Communist China in a fishing boat with her acceptance letter sewn into her shirt. Smith College is so much a part of her story—and, of course, mine as well.

'The Library as a Microcosm of the Campus'
A research library is a hub that generates and distributes intellectual currents, associate dean of the faculty Hélène Visentin says.
'A Setting Worthy of Their Excellence'
Smith's collections finally have the home they deserve, says recently retired English professor Nancy Mason Bradbury '74.
