Q: How to resolve this error in OpenErp? I have been trying the following code in openerp and I had been getting this error
The operation cannot be completed, probably due to the following:
- deletion: you may be trying to delete a record while other records still reference it
- creation/update: a mandatory field is not correctly set
[object with reference: name - name]
In my py file, i had inherited one module
class hr_expense_expense(osv.osv):
_name = "hr.expense.expense"
_inherit = "hr.expense.expense"
_inherits = {'hr.employee':'first_approver'}

A: You don't give details, but I'm pretty sure the _inherits line should be removed. You probably made a confusion and actually want to add Many2one  relation.

Q: How to handle a float overflow? If a float overflow occurs on a value, I want to set it to zero, like this...
m_speed += val;
if ( m_speed > numeric_limits<float>::max()) { // This might not even work, since some impls will wraparound after previous line
  m_speed = 0.f
}

but once val has been added to m_speed, the overflow has already occurred (and I'm assuming that the same problem would occur if i did if (( m_speed + val ) > ..).
How can I check to make sure an overflow is going to occur, without causing an overflow?

A: You could do:
if (numeric_limits<float>::max() - val < m_speed)
{
    m_speed = 0;
}
else
{
    m_speed += val;
}

Another method might be:
m_speed += val;
if (m_speed == numeric_limits<float>::infinity())
    m_speed = 0;

But do keep in mind when an overflow actually occurs, the result is undefined behavior. So while this probably works on most machines, it isn't guaranteed. You're better of catching it before it happens.

Because this isn't trivial to read at first, I'd wrap it into a function:
template <typename T>
bool will_overflow(const T& pX, const T& pValue,
                    const T& pMax = std::numeric_limits<T>::max())
{
    return pMax - pValue < pX;
}

template <typename T>
bool will_underflow(const T& pX, const T& pValue,
                    const T& pMin = std::numeric_limits<T>::min())
{
    return pMin + pValue > pX;
}

m_speed = will_overflow(m_speed, val) ? 0 : m_speed + val;

A: If you exceed FLT_MAX then your float value will become INF and you can test for this explicitly, e.g.
#include <iostream>
#include <cfloat>
#include <cmath>

using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    float f1 = FLT_MAX;
    float f2 = f1 * 1.001f;
    cout << "f1 = " << f1 << ", f2 = " << f2 << endl;
    cout << "isinf(f1) = " << isinf(f1) << ", isinf(f2) = " << isinf(f2) << endl;
    return 0;
}

Vertas Staff Awards Provides Ideal Backdrop to Charity Announcement
The ten category winners and twenty runners up at the fourth annual Vertas Making the Difference Staff Awards at Milsoms Kesgrave Hall weren't the only ones celebrating on Friday night.
Vertas Group Limited Chief Executive Officer Ian Surtees announced to 180 guests - made up of staff, clients and sponsors - that the group has decided to support Cancer Research UK as its official charity for a third year running.
Ian presented a cheque for £12,731 to Gill Burgess from Cancer Research UK, which represents the monies raised by staff and customers in this current financial year.
As well as school bake sales, employee sporting events and monthly dress down days, the four Vertas directors will build on their fundraising successes from last year when they cycled from coast to coast, took on a sky dive and the Yorkshire Three Peaks.
Gill Burgess from Cancer Research UK says of the relationship:
"The enthusiasm and creativity shown by the Vertas team in organising and delivering fun and hugely successful fundraising activities is extremely impressive and shows no sign of slowing down. Over the past two years Vertas has raised over £21k and we would like to thank everyone for all their efforts in making such a significant contribution to research. Cancer Research UK receives no Government funding so our life-saving work is entirely dependent on individual and corporate supporters."
Ian Surtees, Vertas Group Limited's Chief Executive Officer, said:
At the beginning of the 2017/18 financial year we started supporting Cancer Research UK by naming them our Charity of the Year, as chosen by members of staff.
I am delighted to announce that our charitable partnership with Cancer Research UK will continue for a third year into 2019/20, giving us the chance to continue raising much needed funds for the study into a disease that affects so many."

Is Quorn Vegan?
Most people in the UK have probably heard of Quorn, in large part thanks to Mo Farah's rather badly acted adverts. Mo's an Olympic superhero though, so we'll forgive a little flat acting considering he can run for 10,000m faster than we can sprint!
Quorn also has an extensive range of products and a big presence in just about every supermarket, so whilst we're confident people are familiar with the product, we're less sure that people know exactly what Quorn is made from and, more importantly, whether or not it is vegan. But luckily we're here to enlighten you on all that.
Like many items in our is it vegan? section, when it comes to Quorn there is no single yes or no answer. However, unlike a lot of the foods we have considered, the answer is at least simple to find out. Unlike many food producers, Quorn make it very clear what in their range of products is vegan and what isn't. That makes it really simple for anyone following a plant-based diet to know which products they can and can't eat as they browse through the meat-free section of the supermarket.
Quorn have a clearly marked vegan range, with each product labelled as being suitable for vegans. Accredited with the Vegan Trademark and logo from the Vegan Society, there is none of the normal checking of ingredients required. As of May 2019, Quorn's vegan range includes:
Quorn's Vegan Range (2019)
Ultimate Burgers
Vegan Burgers
Battered Fishless Fillets
Breaded Fishless Fillets
Vegan Five Grain Fillets
Vegan Sizzling Mexican Strips
Vegan Hot & Spicy Burgers
BBQ Strips
Vegan Pieces
Vegan Fillets
Vegan Crunchy Fillets
Vegan Cumberland Sausages
Vegan Nuggets
Vegan Smoky Ham Free Slices
Vegan Fishless Fingers
Vegan Chicken Free Slices
We say that this is correct at the time of writing because Quorn have made more and more of their products vegan over the last few years. Ideally, we are sure they would like to make all Quorn items vegan friendly but some still use a small amount of egg white or milk derivatives to bind or stabilise them. Quorn themselves say that "we are constantly investigating different ways to produce Quorn products to make them suitable for vegans". So, hopefully, before long the entire range will be available to those following a wholly plant-based diet.
That said, there are more than 100 different Quorn products in total, and thus, lots of them still do use non-vegan ingredients, albeit in very small quantities. Many of these may not be widely available and as you can see from the list above, lots of the most popular Quorn items are vegan.
The company have stated that they are trying to make more products vegan friendly but that "due to the technicalities involved as well as a shortage of potato protein – a vital ingredient – we cannot at this stage commit to making the entire Quorn range completely vegan".
Are Quorn Products Tested on Animals?
None of the currently available range have been in any way tested on animals but for anyone taking things to the extremes, it should be noted that mycoprotein was given to animals during its development. Quorn is made from mycoprotein (of which more below), which was first created in the late 1960s.
In order to be passed as safe for human consumption, it was deemed necessary that mycoprotein be fed to animals first. A series of feeding trials took place over a long period of time but neither Quorn nor mycoprotein has used animal trials since 1995. Moreover, the company are committed to ensuring that no further animal tests or trials will take place.
Considering how many animals have effectively been saved by the millions of people who eat mycoprotein-based products as meat substitutes we would argue that to not eat Quorn because of these historical and legally required trials would be counter-productive. However, if this is something you feel very strongly about then at least Quorn are quite open about the past animal testing that has taken place on mycoprotein.
What is Quorn Made From?
Quorn Vegan Nuggets
As said above, Quorn (which is a brand name, rather than an actual foodstuff) is largely made from mycoprotein (which itself is a trademarked term). Mycoprotein is made from fungus and whilst some people believe Quorn is mushroom-based, this isn't the case. Initially Quorn was marketed as being "mushroom in origin" but was forced to change this after pressure from advertising authorities and regulators in the US and UK.
Whilst all mushrooms belong to the fungi kingdom, there is a huge difference between the sorts of mushrooms one might eat and the fungus that is used to make Quorn. As such, Quorn now make it clearer that the product is derived from a fungus/mould and despite the potential negative connotations of these words, the product has continued to grow in popularity.
How Quorn Was Discovered
The key ingredient is Fusarium venenatum, a micro-fungus that was discovered in the UK in the 1960s. Its high protein content made it of interest to scientists who were concerned about feeding a growing global population. Sounds familiar. The scientists assessed various different fungi to see which would be best suited to their project. Over three years, it was decided to use Fusarium venenatum as it was cheap and easy to produce, offered a good, meat-like texture, had a reasonable flavour and good levels of protein and fibre as well.
After an extensive testing period to ensure it was safe to eat, the first mycoprotein products were launched in 1985. The patent for mycoprotein was filed at this time and with EU patents only valid for 20 years, this means other companies have been free to create mycoprotein products for some time now. There are alternatives to Quorn but due to the head start the company has enjoyed in terms of technical know-how and marketing, it is Quorn that very much leads the way.
How is Quorn Made?
Quorn Vegan Fishless Battered Fillets
The fungus is grown in huge fermentation tanks and knowledge of this process has, for a long time, allowed Quorn's manufacturers to produce mycoprotein more cheaply than their rivals. Substances including glucose, water, potassium, magnesium and phosphate, along with the Fusarium venenatum itself, are added to the 40m high sterile fermentation tanks.
The environment is highly controlled with the perfect temperature, acidity and oxygen levels enabling the fungi to thrive. During this process, ribonucleic acids (RNA) are removed from the product (excessive RNA had hindered previous attempts at fermenting protein-based foods).
When the mycoprotein is ready to harvest, it is removed. It is given texture before being seasoned and mixed with egg white, or, in the case of the vegan range, potato protein. It is lightly steamed for around half an hour and then chilled before being cut into shape for whatever product it is being used for. At this point, the Quorn is frozen and this further enhances the meaty texture as the ice crystals that form push the fibres of the finished product closer together.
The precise ingredients and seasoning will vary from one Quorn product to another, with some being more akin to fully formed ready meals and others more a straight "naked" meat substitute. You can see the ingredients for Quorn Vegan Fillets below:
Ingredients in Quorn Vegan Fillets
Mycoprotein (88%)
Potato Protein
Pea Fibre
Firming Agents: Calcium Chloride, Calcium Acetate
Natural Flavouring
Wheat Gluten
Stabilisers: Carrageenan, Sodium Alginate
As you can see, by and large the fillets are mainly mycoprotein, with almost 90% of the end product being the base ingredient. With the next two ingredients essentially being plant-based proteins and fibres, there isn't too much to be concerned about. However, there is no doubt that all Quorn products are highly processed and they certainly won't be featuring on any raw vegan menus!
Is Quorn Healthy?
Quorn Ultimate Burger
In his enlightening book, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto, Michael Pollan argues that one shouldn't "eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food" and also to avoid ingredients you can't pronounce.
We can just about get our mouths around calcium chloride, calcium acetate, carrageenan, sodium alginate and indeed mycoprotein itself, but would our great grandparents recognise them as food? How would they react if you were to suggest, "Try this 'chicken' fillet, Gramps. It is made from fermented fungus"?
As said, there is no escaping the fact that the entire Quorn range is processed. Quorn themselves are open about this, stating that they are processed but are not genetically modified. By and large, it is true to say that processing food is not great. It is rare for a processed end product to be healthier than the raw starting points. There are exceptions, of course, but in general, the less processed a food is, the healthier it tends to be, which is not to say that processed might not taste nicer – that's often the point!
But be it an orange versus orange juice, a bunch of grapes or a glass of wine, or a wholegrain versus a milled one, in general, processing a food reduces its nutritional content. This, plus various health scares over the years and the fact that you have more control over what you eat when you cook from scratch, means that some people have an automatic distrust and dislike of all processed foods.
This is perhaps a little unfair. Many mass-produced foods may be less wholesome than if you made them yourself. But equally many, especially if you buy a better quality product, are by and large, very similar to what you would produce at home. Processing, whether done at home or in a factory, creates a different end product and unless you are committed to a raw vegan diet then occasionally enjoying foods, such as bread, jam, pasta, breakfast cereals, crisps and perhaps even a vegan sausage roll is part of everyday life.
Health Benefits of Quorn
Whilst some may have their doubts about consuming a batch of mass-produced fungus bound together with processed potato, some spices, algae (sodium alginate) and seaweed (carrageenan), overall, we have to say that Quorn (and other mycoprotein products) are extremely healthy.
Having been eaten for almost 40 years and, according to Quorn, having been used to create more than five billion meals in more than 20 countries, it seems reasonable to assume that the product is safe. There are some scare stories regarding allergies but according to the UK Food Standards Agency, only around 1 in 150,000 people will have a reaction to Quorn. That compares rather favourably to the one in 200 people intolerant to soy or the 1% (one in 100) who have coeliac disease and are seriously intolerant of gluten.
So, given it is almost certainly safe to eat, the proven benefits of its high protein, high fibre, low fat nutrition should be praised. They are also mainly low in salt and compare favourably to meat in most regards whilst also standing up well against other vegan meat substitutes, such as seitan and tofu.
A range of studies have also indicated that Quorn can increase satiety (a feeling of fullness), reduce levels of bad cholesterol and has a low impact on blood sugar. As an alternative to meat, there seems little doubt that Quorn is healthy option, delivering sufficient bioavailable protein for well-being whilst also being lower in calories and saturated fat.
Quorn & the Environment
Without wanting to sound like the official Quorn marketing board, Quorn is also very good for the environment compared to traditional meat farming. Quorn production requires much less water than the farming of any meat, needs significantly less land and produces far fewer greenhouse gasses.
More than half of the brand's range carries the Carbon Trust Footprint for reducing CO2 and so switching from meat to Quorn will undoubtedly have a beneficial impact on the planet. Whilst it should be noted that many meat-alternatives also offer similar benefits, the following is true of Quorn production:
Carbon footprint of mince is 90% lower than beef
Water footprint of beef is eight times that of Quorn mince
Chicken (per tonne) uses 2.5 times as much water as Quorn pieces
Quorny Trivia
J. Arthur Rank (Wikipedia.org)
Quorn trivia might not be the most exciting sphere of pub-quiz knowledge in the world but, none the less, here are our top Quorny facts!
Quorn is named after the Leicestershire village Quorn, previously known as Quorndon
J. Arthur Rank, pictured in this section, is the father of mycoprotein, with the Hull-born businessman responsible for starting the search for a protein-alternative
The first product retailed with mycoprotein in it was a veg pie
The key fungus, Fusarium venenatum, was discovered in the Buckinghamshire village of Marlow
Quorn is owned by Monde Nissin, a company based in Laguna, Philippines


Complete metamorphosis evolved in insects towards the end of the Palaeozoic Era. A wide range of pupation strategies existed and numerous biosedimentary structures associated with these have been described. The fossil record of endogenous materials associated with pupation, e.g. cocoons, is more limited. Here we report six amber-coloured specimens from the earliest Cretaceous of southern England that were tentatively identified on collection as insect cocoons. These were analysed by Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, stereomicroscopy and X-ray microtomography to elucidate their origin. The interpretation of the Fourier transform infrared spectrometry data was inconclusive because the spectra showed some differences from those of amber. A seed pod origin seems likely for at least two of the objects based on their size, shape and the lineations on their surfaces. Three specimens are more cocoon-like based on their overall morphology and a fibrous surface texture. Although plant megaspore membranes have features analogous with these specimens and cannot be ruled out, the similarity to and variability found within insect cocoons, coupled with the range of potential insect architects present at the time of origin, make an insect origin more likely. We review a number of hymenopteran clades whose extant members construct comparable cocoons. The possible cocoons may have been resin-coated to protect the larva inside from predation, or they may have passively come into contact with resin prior to burial.

To make this on the barbecue instead of in the oven, cut the peeled squash into 2.5cm thick slices so it can't fall through the bars. Coat with oil and paprika, then cook directly on the barbecue for 15 mins, turning occasionally, until softened and slightly charred. Brush with 1 tbsp of piri piri sauce, to glaze, then cook for 5 more mins.
If cooking in the oven, preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with the olive oil and paprika. Season well and spread out on a roasting tray. Roast for 25 mins, turning halfway through. Add the remaining piri piri sauce, tossing carefully to coat the squash and return to the oven for 5-10 mins, until glazed and caramelised. Set aside.
Cover the couscous with 300ml boiling water in a bowl. Cover and set aside for a few mins until the water has been absorbed. Fluff up with a fork. Add the roasted squash, cubed feta, cherry tomatoes and chopped mint and toss gently together. Season to taste. Serve warm or at room temperature.

• Kroll Ontrack, a provider of data recovery and ediscovery, has announced data recovery capabilities for VMware Virtual SAN (VSAN). On the market since March 2014, Kroll Ontrack has already successfully recovered data from several hard disks that were managed by VSAN for a client in the Netherlands. In a combined team effort by Ontrack Data Recovery engineers from around the world, Kroll Ontrack was specifically able to recover all the data stored in the virtual machines from a total of 15 disks and three SSDs.
"Since VSAN is so new, we are very proud that we were able to completely recover virtual machines from VSAN hard disks for the first time," said Paul Le Messurier, Programme and Operations Manager at Kroll Ontrack. "With newly gained knowledge, we developed a toolset for these systems, and can now handle new VSAN recovery requests in an expedited fashion." In the initial Virtual SAN recovery case, one SSD failed which caused one of the three nodes to fail, and that took down the entire VSAN storage system. As a result, four large virtual machines comprised of valuable business data were lost.

June 1976, almost 40 years ago. An Air France flight takes off from Israel, where security is tight, with 228 passengers heading to Paris, with a stopover in Athens, where security is lax. Four hijackers board the plane there, with heavy bags that were never checked and said by the hijackers to be loaded with guns and explosives. They order the pilot to fly to the Entebee airport in Nairobi, Uganda.
So begins Saul David's Operation Thunderbolt: Flight 139 and the Raid on Entebbe Airport, the Most Audacious Hostage Rescue Mission in History. The story of the hijacking, the days at the terminal in Entebbe, the debate within Israel about how to respond to the terrorist demands and the eventual planning and rescue of the Jewish hostages is told in an hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute, account by David in a "you are there" fashion.
The four hijackers, later joined by two others at the airport in Entebbe, demanded the release within 48 hours of 53 militants mostly imprisoned in Israel, in exchange for the release of the hostages.
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin believed the government had to give in to the terrorists to avoid the slaughter of the Jewish hostages; Defense Minister Shimon Peres argued for an attempt to rescue them with a raid at the Entebbe airport in distant Uganda. The squabbling between Rabin and Peres was at times bitter.
However, the plans for a surprise raid were yet to be formulated, with various impractical ideas on how to return the hostages to Israel. Were it not for the extension of the deadline three days, so that Idi Amin, the President of Uganda, (who knew about the hijacking in advance and supported the terrorists) could attend a conference of African leaders, the hostages would have been killed or released, if Israel acceded to the demands of the terrorists.
The additional time gave the Israel Defense Force (IDF) time to work out a "realistic" rescue plan that finally gained the support of Prime Minister Rabin and his cabinet. Meanwhile, 48 non-Jewish hostages were released by Amin and flown to Paris. Although the final airlift-rescue plan was never rehearsed and entailed a number of unknown risks, it was nevertheless launched on the night of July 3rd.
After a refueling stop at Nairobi, Kenya, four Hercules transports landed undetected at the Entebbe airport, 2,500 miles from Israel. Two Boeing 707 jets followed, the first contained medical facilities and landed in Nairobi, the second circled over the Entebbe Airport to monitor the raid. A black Mercedes that looked like President Idi Amin's vehicle and his supporting Land Rovers were driven out of one of the Hercules and headed for the old terminal where the hostages were located. The Israelis hoped they could use them to bypass security checkpoints.
The other Hercules transports held Israeli assault teams that drove their vehicles directly to the terminal building The Israelis sprang from their vehicles and raced toward the terminal. The hostages were in the main hall of the airport building, directly adjacent to the runway. Entering the terminal, the commandos shouted through a megaphone, "Stay down! Stay down!"
They identified the four hijackers, shot them, along with numerous Ugandans who were guarding the building and began moving the hostages to the Hercules transports. The commandos then destroyed the Ugandan MIG fighter planes to prevent them from pursuing the returning Israelis. Five commandos were wounded and one, the team's commander, Yonatan Netanyahu, the brother of the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was killed. Out of the 106 hostages, three were killed, 10 were wounded and one woman who was left in a Ugandan hospital was killed by Amin.
The raid and the liberation of the hostages last only 51 minutes.
The Israeli raid was a daring operation, attracted world-wide acclaim, and served as a model for other rescue missions. It also enhanced Israel's morale and stature in the world. But how important was it? David makes no attempt to address this question and place it in a wider context.
However, his detailed account of the raid, its planning and ultimate execution was riveting to read. Still, the leader of the commandos was killed along with 4 of the hostages. Unavoidable? Worth the risk? In spite of the elation of the surviving hostages and the crowd that met them when they returned to Israel, you might be left with these questions at the end.

Now we have a small break ahead of us we are finally able to track down those hard working crew members who are always too busy with their heads under a bonnet to grab a hold of.
JDub's right-hand man has come into 2016 with all guns blazing (we don't mean your biceps Cauchi) to get that coveted number one back on the door. With Jamie sittin' pretty on top of the leader board, the proof is in the pudding that hard work really does pay off.
Another fantastic weekend at QR for Jamie and the team, how does it feel to have a lead in the championship?
How would you say the car is performing?
We are a little more comfortable with the car now. We didn't roll out at QR very speedy, but I was happy with how we were able to recognise where we lacked strength and go for a different direction, which ended up working reasonably well. As always, with car performance, there is still more to improve which is the same for everyone.
The competition is especially fierce this year; do you believe JDub has what it takes to take home his seventh championship win?
This year will come down to the smallest of margins, as we have seen in the first half of this year. For sure, JDub's championship winning experience will come into play when we get down to crunch time in the last few races. I have the best man for the job.
How will you be spending these next four weeks downtime leading into Sydney Motorsport Park?
Sleeping in, lazy days on the beach, mountain bike riding… Ok, that's not exactly true. The racing calendar so far has been demanding for everyone with short turnaround times from race to race. So it is in some way time to back it off the rev limiter a little, but we also want to move ahead with some development and get as much as we can in order for the all-important endurance races coming up. I will spend some more time on the mountain bike, going to CrossFit and re-introducing myself to some friends and family.
How are you feeling about the enduros with JDub and PD? Not far away now….
I love the endurance races. It is fun to get the CEO [Paul Dumbrell] on board and go racing, they make an awesome combination. We have some unfinished business to take care of this year so bring them on.


"X-Men" wowed Australian auds in its international preem and "Mission: Impossible 2" had another socko weekend overseas, but "The Patriot" was less than triumphant in its first foreign engagements.
Rounding out an eventful frame, "Dinosaur" captivated three Asian territories and "Me, Myself & Irene" had OK launches in Spain and Belgium. "Stuart Little" saw a respectable entry in Japan and "Gladiator" ascended to $202 million.
Released on Thursday Down Under to catch the end of the school vacation, "X-Men" fetched $2.1 million on 245 screens, Fox Intl.'s third-highest opening weekend in history behind "Star Wars: Episode 1 — The Phantom Menace" and "Independence Day." Bryan Singer's caper based on the Marvel comic has August dates in most of the world, while Japan is pegged for September and Italy for October.
The "Mission" sequel rocketed to $150 million on the back of a $24.2 million weekend in 34 markets, including hot debuts in Sweden ($1 million in five days on 68, the third-best preem of all time), Portugal ($355,000 in three days on 60, also the third-biggest) and the Philippines ($307,000 in two days on 159, the sixth-highest, 41% ahead of the first).
John Woo's actioner generally held pretty well after smash openings, amassing a huge $27.2 million in nine days in Japan (off 29%), $14.6 million in 11 days in Germany (sliding 38%), $14 million in 10 days in the U.K. (down 40%), $6.4 million in 10 days in Spain (tumbling 42%) and $5.8 million in ditto in Italy (a 29% erosion).
"M:I2" appears on course to match or exceed the original, which did $286 million abroad.
"The Patriot" could not conquer the B.O. in three important major markets. The Mel Gibson starrer rode into the U.K. in third spot with a tepid $1.5 million on 498, battling for the same demo as "Mission 2," probably wounded by a row there over the film's historical accuracy and the way it portrays the Brits. The frame's surprise victor was "Chicken Run," which eased by 29% in its third lap, cuming a phenom $20.7 million.
The Revolutionary War saga raked in $1.8 million on 627 in France (trailing "Gladiator's" fourth lap) and $1.3 million on 413 in Mexico (Columbia TriStar's third-highest preem after "Godzilla" and "Men in Black," No. 2 behind "Dinosaur).
Roland Emmerich's epic did take pole positions in Argentina, pulling in $856,000 on 92, and the minor markets of Colombia, South Africa, Israel, French-speaking Switzerland and Slovakia, where it's nice to be No. 1 but the rewards are chicken feed compared to the major territories. All told, "Patriot" collected $6.2 million from 1,812 engagements in nine countries.
The creature feature also set all-time toon highs in South Korea, notching $1 million from 71 (beating "Tarzan" by 50%) and Taiwan, taking $605,000 on 16 (15% ahead of the loin-clothed hero).
After its record-busting bow in Mexico, "Dinosaur" fell by a reasonable 36%, nabbing a whammo $9.1 million in 10 days, and in Argentina it eased by just 8%, for $2.7 million. "Dinosaur" harvested $9.1 million in 20 countries, hiking the cume to $36.6 million.
"Stuart Little" landed in Japan with $1.4 million on 189, positioned to cash in on the school vacation that begins next week; its cume is $106.6 million and, after subtracting the $6.9 million it pocketed in 1999, it's a whisker away from becoming the 10th hit to clock $100 million this year.
The third "Pocket Monsters" was shaken by "Stuart" and two other local animated releases, "Ojarumaru" and "Cardcaptor Sakura," but has ponied up a fine $7 million in nine days.
"Me, Myself & Irene" took $890,000 on 270 in Spain and $383,000 on 68 in Belgium and had OK soph sessions in Mexico, tallying $2 million thus far, and Taiwan at $1.1 million. Cume is $14 million from 17 territories.
Ang Lee's Chinese-lingo actioner "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" appears to be drawing uspcale auds rather than truly connecting with the mainstream in Asia, resulting in fairly sharp drops in its soph sessions. Progressive scores are $1.7 million in Taiwan, $1.4 million in Hong Kong, $846,000 in Singapore and $608,000 in Malaysia.

J.V.R Windows (Trading as J.V.R. Windows) are can be found in in Tring Hertfordshire. One factor that generally puts folks off double glazing is that they assume it is not attractive.
While this will likely have been true up to now, this certainly is not the case now, as double glazed home windows can be found in an enormous variety of designs and colours.
Some folks still don't like the 'trendy' look of PVCu double glazing although, and this can stop some individuals from investing in what's a really worthwhile home improvement.
There's a resolution to this though. Hardwood double glazing is available in an growing variety of styles, and although it might be costlier than PVCu double glazed items, hardwood framed double glazing has a number of benefits that PVCu or aluminium can't offer.
There are some properties that extra trendy materials just wouldn't suit. You could find that you could only get permission for hardwood double glazing in some properties, so it could really be your solely choice (until you wish to have secondary double glazing as a substitute). Hardwood double glazing is manufacturing unit manufactured and pre-treated with long-lasting wood stain, or it can be painted. So as soon as it's installed, you do not have to do something to it for a while.
Hardwood frames are a renewable resource. Many timber companies plant trees to replace those they cut down. If you are involved about the impact of the timber on the surroundings, you should purchase wood from Forestry Fee approved sources.
Hardwood is warmer than aluminium and the insulating properties of it are slightly greater. It might probably also look warmer than the same old white or metallic surrounds of PVCu or aluminium, and if it appears to be like hotter, then you will feel warmer. The draught prevention and noise prevention are as good as different materials.
Though it may want more upkeep than other materials, should you take care of your hardwood double glazing it is going to be extraordinarily lengthy-lasting and it is subject to guarantees, just as other materials are. J.V.R Windows (Trading as J.V.R. Windows) have a good selection.
With these facts in mind, it could be that you now have one other choice to consider. Ask your double glazing company if they've put in hardwood windows in your space and find out if you can have a look. You might be shocked at the distinction hardwood double glazing can make, without drastically altering the look of your property.

Q: Running objcopy in CMAKE custom command causes error during make I'm trying to add a post-build command to a small project which will automatically take my build output file (ELF) and convert it to an Intel HEX format for flashing on a microcontroller.
When I add this command however, the build fails. It repeats the command with all of the CMake variable strings substituted in that is run by the shell and post-fixes it with : not found.
When I run that exact line in the terminal after a normal successful build of the ELF, it works as expected. Is there a gotcha I'm missing somewhere with how CMake handles this?
I've added the target to my CMakeLists.txt as follows:
add_custom_command(
    TARGET ${EXECUTABLE_NAME}
    POST_BUILD
    COMMAND "${CMAKE_OBJCOPY} -O ihex ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} ${PROJECT_NAME}.hex"
)

The command ends up resolving to <absolute-path>/avr-objcopy -O ihex test_blink.elf test_blink.hex which I can verify since it's printed by CMake out to the terminal.

A: This string is wrong:
COMMAND "${CMAKE_OBJCOPY} -O ihex ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} ${PROJECT_NAME}.hex"

You should use the ARGS keyword:
COMMAND ${CMAKE_OBJCOPY} ARGS -O ihex ${EXECUTABLE_NAME} ${PROJECT_NAME}.hex


NFL linebacker Patrick Willis announced his retirement after eight years as one of the top defensive players in the league.
"When I'm done playing, I don't want to measure myself (against) a guy that people compared me to. I want to look at myself and know that I gave it my all and have no regrets. If I can do that, then I'll be happy being who I am. That's me."
He asked not to be compared to the greats who played the position before him. Instead, Patrick Willis worked to create his own legacy, and after eight seasons, the game's premier inside linebacker announced he is retiring from the NFL.
Willis played his entire career for the San Francisco 49ers. He was the heart and soul of a team that reached three consecutive NFC Championship games, from 2011 to 2013.
He was selected to the Pro Bowl in each of his first seven NFL seasons and was a five-time first-team All-Pro.
In announcing his retirement, Willis said he's as happy now with his decision as he was the day he was drafted.
"I've been humbled to have the opportunity to play this game, and I'm blessed to say that I get to retire happy," Willis said.
STACK was privileged to spend an off-season training day with Willis back in 2010. He demonstrated his "Homegrown Workout," a routine inspired by his formative weightlifting years, when he used to load a metal bar with concrete blocks and Bench Press it in the driveway of his father's house.
At the end of our visit, we asked Willis how he wanted his legacy to be remembered once he walks away from the game. He responded, "That I came out every day and gave it my all, through tough times, through bad times, through tired times. When they talk about linebackers, they're gonna mention my name, and they're gonna say that Patrick Willis was 'one bad boy.'"
He was that. And more.
Patrick Willis was an unheralded recruit who had 4 LB coaches in 4 years at #OleMiss. Guy still blossomed into one of CFB's best LBs ever.

A mulch is any layer that goes down on the surface of the soil to perform one or more important tasks. Mulches conserve water by reducing evaporation. They prevent weeds from competing with the plants you want to grow. They increase soil temperature, which speeds growth and helps crops mature faster. And in some cases mulches help prevent soil erosion. The best mulches are ones that break down over time and biodegrade into the soil itself.


I'm not a true winter hater and I don't mind the cold as much as the heat but I still feel the doldrums of the season especially after the rush of the holidays and the enthusiasm of the year. It feels like a season of waiting, of holding out or holding on. I know many others feel it even more deeply as the darkness presses in and we hide away from the biting temps. I've found that the small gifts of comfort and friendship make all the difference.
From the silly to the serious, here's my list for this season of waiting; the things that are saving my life and helping me hold on until new hope arrives. I'm also joining up with others to share "What's Saving Your Life" over at Modern Mrs. Darcy.
I've always wanted to be part of a book club and think I kept waiting to be invited to one. But last year I took the brave step and put out some feelers about starting a new group and it has been one of my favorite things. We meet once a month and drink wine and talk about books which doesn't sound earth-shattering in any way but my real growth has been in being the group's organizer. I'm accountable because I asked others to join me so I can't use my usual social anxiety to get out of it and books + friends always make me happy. Plus the blending of several of my favorite people into a monthly chance to socialize has been lots and lots of fun. I'm so glad I took the risk to ask others to join me in something.
Going to the movie theater is such a fun escape but I can never stomach the price of tickets plus a babysitter so we hardly ever see anything in the theater. My husband has had some more flexibility in his schedule this year and with the kids in school, we've discovered the secret of the 10am movie. It's never crowded, you totally feel like you're playing hooky and tickets are less than $6 which means I can smuggle my bag of peanut butter M&Ms in and enjoy a movie guilt-free (okay, there's slight guilt about the contraband snacks but come.on.people $7 for small popcorn?….we all have to rebel somehow).
I love using essential oils to help my family stay healthy and always used the diffuser that came with my original kit of oils but I hated to leave it out since it didn't look very nice. I saw others recommending this one and my brother and sister-in-law kindly gave it to me for Christmas. It's such a game changer to have one I can leave out all the time and that looks beautiful sitting out. It reminds me to fill it up in the morning or evening and I'm already thinking about ordering another. The oils do make a difference in lifting my spirits and in keeping us all a bit healthier during cold and flu season.
I'm not sure where I first heard about Pray As You Go but it's been a helpful resource in carving out a bit of quiet meditation time for me. The 12-15 minute episodes contain scripture, music and reflective questions and are produced by Jesuit Media Initiatives. It taps into the ancient spiritual practices of the church which helps me feel more grounded in the bigger picture of my faith and I appreciate it's simplicity and open application. The app format is perfect for listening on the go but can also it can also be streamed from a computer. Bonus: the beautiful British accents of the readers is magical.
I'd love to hear about what's saving your life right now? What's making you smile as you wait for those warm rays of sun to come back? Leave a comment below with your favorite winter treat or self-care routine!

I will have to check out the shampoo you mentioned. It is always hard for me to find one that works well or if I find one, then I can't find it again. I hope your book club continues to go well. It sounds like a delightful way to connect with friends.
Great list and a good reminder to make more use of my diffuser. Pray as you go app sounds interesting. I must check it out.
You can also stream it on the computer at their website http://www.pray-as-you-go.org/ if you want to check it out first.
Love the idea about the book club! The ones you usually hear about are usually full of people who already know each other (this introvert would not do well) and read the the latest modern novel (which never sound interesting). But starting one of my own, now. There's an idea!
I also love the look of that diffuser. I'm just starting to research essential oils, but learning quickly that a diffuser is a must!


With your ruling planet of Mars in retrograde and the prevalence of Cancer's water to cool your fire, this isn't the best time to be doing anything bold or life-altering. Focus your attention at home, where emotions may be running high and constantly in flux through this season.
You may be feeling a bit off from your norm thanks to the moon's impact on emotions. Focus your energy into ensuring there's positive people surrounding you during this time. Check in with friends and family, make time for those who lift you up.
This is a time for you to slow your roll, relax, indulge yourself mindfully. Your mind may be running full speed, but it is okay to allow your thoughts to move into the slow lane for a bit. You'll be glad that you did as your ruling planet of Mercury moves into retrograde later this month.
This season is all about you…literally. Take time to focus on yourself: work on becoming self-aware, your personal growth, and your emotional needs. Do not allow aspects of yourself that you feel are "broken" to stay that way. Allow yourself to focus on healing and the positive within.
You may be putting off career goals or changes, but this is the time to go all-in. Although emotions might be high during this time of Cancer, they will quickly change or subside, meaning it is the perfect time to do something big in your life. Don't let your anxiety about the future stop you from being satisfied with your job in the now.
You'll find it easy to know what to focus on during this time because it's probably ending up right in your face: former relationships and old friends. Take time to reconnect with those you want in your life, but don't allow the negative relationships a chance to move back into your life.
Libras seem to be having unimaginable luck during this time of Cancer, so focus your energy wherever that luck is happening in your life. Don't shy away from opportunities that will positively benefit you. Don't downplay the amazing things happening right now. Embrace the wonderful and focus on making it even better.
It's time to focus on forgiveness, Scorpio. There's something you've been holding onto for too long: now is your time to let go. Mend bonds where possible, or at least be willing to move forward without resentment or regret. Life is too short to hold grudges.
Be careful: with the emotional rollercoaster of Cancer season, you are feeling the desire to travel or impulsively spend money. Keep a focus on your finances, trying to be creative where you can with what you spend. You might not be able to take an exotic vacation or buy a brand new car, but you may be able to find a thriftier way to indulge if you take the time to think it through.
Use this time of emotional energy to focus on the most emotional relationships of all: your love life. Really allow yourself to connect with your partner or love interest during this time. Explore your feelings surrounding them, and maybe even make time to explore their body, too.
They say that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, and you may be feeling that during this time. Try to focus on your actions and choices before they occur, thinking through all the possible outcomes. Don't allow yourself to get bogged down by the moon and its torment on your feelings: stay reasonable and wise in your decisions.
You may find yourself feeling extra creative with the influx of emotions during this watery time, so put your focus there. Do whatever allows you to get those creative juices flowing and let those emotions out. You'll be glad you did later in the month when we shift out of Cancer.

Bewegen To Implement The UK's First Cross Regional Ebike Scheme
The Forth Valley e-bike scheme in Scotland is powering forward with the help of Bewegen. Our team will be working with Forth Environment Link deliver the UK's first cross regional partnership electric bike share project, supported by Transport Scotland, NHS Forth Valley, Clackmannanshire Council, Stirling Council and Falkirk Council.
The project is Bewegen's first large-scale project in the UK. The first phase of the project will see 100 fully electric bikes made available across key locations in Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling. To get things started, an initial phase is expected to be ready by Autumn 2018, creating important connections to the Larbert Train station and Forth Valley Royal Hospital.
"Bewegen is proud to be a part of the launch of the UK's first cross-regional electric bike scheme. Data from our systems launched around the world have shown that our e-bikes offer a transportation alternative that is more attractive to a diverse range of users, which contributes to a larger mode shift towards cycling. We believe that the Forth Valley Scheme will be very successful, with a strong potential for growth throughout the region. Bewegen is committed to strengthening the Forth Valley region by establishing a local operations team, thereby creating jobs and contributing to the local economy. Overall, we are grateful for this opportunity and excited to get this project rolling!'' Bewegen CEO, Alain Ayotte

WE'RE GONNA NEED A BIGGER PLUNGER
(SFX: French train station)
It turns out that TGV, France's high-speed rail system, came up with some nifty technology that helps prevent accidents among trains that regularly travel about 200mph. If one train is forced to slow down or stop, the TVM cab-signalling system automatically reduces the speed of the trains behind it since it's nearly impossible to read track-side signals at the same velocity as a Formula One race car.
This makes the TGV trains very safe. Unless you're in the bathroom.
In September 2008, a French man was in the midst of using the water closet on a TGV train from La Rochelle in Western France toward Paris when he managed to drop his cell phone in the bowl. He immediately tried to retrieve the wayward phone from the pipes, the BBC reported, which under normal circumstances would be an easy (albeit messy) mission.
But bathrooms onboard various kinds of transportation often have unique features to deal with the unique requirements. In this case, the train had automatic vacuum-flush toilets. The powerful suction made short work of the phone and dragged the man's hand with enough force that his arm wedged in the pipes.
That's when the 200-mph train stopped so that firefighters could get onboard and retrieve the man who tried to retrieve his phone. After several unsuccessful attempts to dislodge the passenger, rescue crews got out the saw.
Benoit Gigou, a witness, told local media: "He came out on a stretcher, with his hand still jammed in the toilet bowl, which they had to saw clean off." The toilet, not the hand.
In the end, the man lived, the toilet did not and the TVM cab-signalling system probably did its job, if only because the high-speed train (and presumably the ones stuck behind it) had to stop for two hours for the toilet-ectomy. Although even with 2 hours added to a typically 3-hour ride, it was probably still faster than trains in the U.S.
E.T. DON'T PHONE FRANCE
(SFX: Theremin real scare a)
In most of the ways that matter, Chateauneuf-du-Pape is like most other villages in Southeastern France. There are vineyards that produce amazing red wines, Medieval castle ruins, rolling hills and a history of interaction with the Avignon popes of the 14th century (thus the name for the village and the surrounding wine appellation — the Pope's New Castle, or fortified city, depending on which history you're partial to).
What other villages in the area do NOT have, however, is a law that makes it illegal for any UFO to fly through it or over it. Specifically, any flying saucer or flying cigar. Yeah, really.
It turns out that in Sept. 1954, a local metal worker came home to find "two Martian visitors at his garden gate," the New York Times reported, and that they had come from "a cigar-like machine which came to rest on the railway" outside his house. The man, Marius Dewilde, told authorities that when he approached the Martians, a green beam of light paralyzed him. When he woke, the "cigar" was taking off.
Needless to say, hysteria followed, fueled by the swamp of public fear in the middle ground between the Atomic Age and the Space Age. Popular culture probably didn't help. A sampling of the Sci-Fi movies released in 1954 included "Stranger from Venus," "Devil Girls from Mars" and "Killers from Space," the last being an early starring role for Peter Graves, who also played the pilot of a flying cigar in the 1980 movie "Airplane."
Instead of immediately surrendering, Mayor Lucien Jeune and the council of Chateauneuf-du-Pape passed a decree that would prevent UFOs from zapping their citizens and, more importantly, their vineyards.
Article 1 of the decree stated: "The overflight, the landing and the takeoff of aircraft known as flying saucers or flying cigars, whatever their nationality is, are prohibited on the territory of the community."
Article 2 covered impounding: "Any aircraft, known as flying saucer or flying cigar, which should land on the territory of the community will be immediately held in custody." Which, of course, makes us wonder if they make a Denver Boot-style device for flying cigars.
Years later, the mayor's son, Elie Jeune, admitted that the law had been a publicity stunt. "At that time, people were talking a lot about extraterrestrials and the unknown, it was in fashion, and there were loads of stories circulating," he said. "He wanted to make a bit of an advertisement for Châteauneuf."
Stunt or not, the law is still there. And, you could argue, it has worked — no UFOs spotted since it was passed — despite a rather stunning legal loophole.
While the law forbids the flying and landing of UFOs, it doesn't say anything about the passengers. So, if visitors from outer space want to do some sightseeing (presumably for the history and the wine), they just need to park in the next village over, which we're pretty sure doesn't have a UFO ban, and walk over. Or slither over. Who knows.
But the legend continues. Thirty-two years later in the mountains of California's central coast, Randall Grahm, the founder of Bonny Doon winery, honored Chateauneuf-du-Pape and the events of 1954 with the inaugural vintage of Le Cigare Volant, the Flying Cigar. Just don't take a bottle through the village. Or over it.
NAAN CONTROL TO MAJ. TOM
(SFX: Apollo countdown reverb)
Nearly anyone who lived in the U.S. during the 1970s (and hasn't repressed it) probably remembers the post-moon-landing craze for space foods. Freeze-dried ice cream, dehydrated beef stroganoff and other vaguely edible entrees that eventually were marketed to backpackers, who clearly were tired and hungry enough to eat anything.
Pillsbury and NASA developed something called a Space Food Stick, a mysterious 300-calorie wand of protein, carbs and fats that only went on one mission before it was marketed to the space-loving general public. (For what it's worth, the Space Food Stick probably is an ancestor of the modern energy bar, which today is a $3 billion market in the U.S.) In truth, the early U.S. astronauts mostly ate applesauce and pureed beef and vegetables that came in toothpaste-like tubes. Yum.
It's unclear if Niraj Gadher, who owns an Indian restaurant in Bath, England, was trying to elevate the quality of astronaut snacks (literally and figuratively) when he decided to send some take-out dishes into outer space. On his third attempt in January 2021, Gadher launched a helium weather balloon attached to a GPS device, a GoPro and a package with a wrap and a samosa, a deep-fried pocket pastry stuffed with potatoes or meats.
"I said as a joke once that I would send a samosa into space, and then I thought during these bleak times we could all use a reason to laugh," Gadher told SommersetLive.com. "The feedback is that it's brought a lot of laughter from people and that's what we wanted really, to spread joy."
During the flight into the upper atmosphere, the GPS gave out, Gadher said, although the camera video in his YouTube post shows the wrap and samosa far above the clouds — and a passing jetliner. As it turns out, the package, which was fitted with a tiny parachute, landed and was recovered in Caix, in Northern France. (Luckily it didn't land in Chateauneuf-du-Pape or it would have been arrested and detained for being an Unidentified Frying Object.)
