Q: Same thread re-enters method before leaving We are attempting to read information from a hardware device, and the only way to do this is to communicate with it through a closed-source, native DLL the hardware manufacturer provides.  They also provide a .NET wrapper to access the DLL, which the wrapper method of concern is simplified below:
[DllImport("hardware_mfg.dll")]
private static extern int hardware_command_unicode(MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] string outdata, uint outcount, [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)] StringBuilder indata, uint maxdata, ref uint incount);

public static int HardwareCommand(string senddata, StringBuilder recdata)
{
    uint incount = 0;
    return HardwareWrapper.hardware_command_unicode(senddata, (uint)senddata.Length, recdata, (uint)recdata.Capacity, ref incount);
}

The code calling the HardwareWrapper.HardwareCommand function is:
// This method gets called from a DispatcherTimer.Tick event
public static int SendCommand(string command, StringBuilder buffer)
{
    lock (_locker)
    {
        try
        {
            if (_commandInProgress)
            {
                // This exception gets thrown
                throw new InvalidOperationException("This should not be possible");
            }
            _commandInProgress = true;
            // InvalidOperationException gets thrown while previous call to HardwareCommand here has not yet returned
            var result = HardwareWrapper.HardwareCommand(command, buffer);
            return result;
        }
        finally
        {
            _commandInProgress = false;
        }
    }
}

The confusing part is that the InvalidOperationException gets thrown. When the main thread enters the var result = HardwareWrapper.HardwareCommand(...) it is possible for the method to be called again, and enter the same function before the first call returns.  It is intermittent that the exception gets thrown, but letting this code run for 15-30 seconds will be enough to have the exception happen.

*

*How is it possible for the main thread to exist twice in one method?

*What can be done to prevent this from happening?

EDIT 1: Move lock to outer scope

A: Without a good Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable code example it's impossible to provide a specific and complete diagnosis. But based on the information here, undoubtedly this is exactly as @David says: "your unmanaged code is pumping the queue".
COM in particular is notorious for this, but it can occur in other ways. Typically, the native code enters some kind of wait state in which some or all messages for the thread are still dispatched. This can include the WM_TIMER message for the timer, causing the Tick event to be raised again, even before the previous event handler has returned.
Since it's in the same thread, the lock is irrelevant. The Monitor that is used by lock only blocks threads other than the one holding the lock; the current thread can re-enter any section of code protected by that monitor as often as it wants.
The message in your InvalidOperationException, "This should not be possible", is incorrect. It is possible, and it should be possible. For better or worse, it's how messages in Windows work.
Depending on what your goal is and the specifics of the code involved (which you haven't provided), you have at least a couple of options:

*

*Don't use DispatcherTimer. Instead, use one of the other timer classes, which use the thread pool to raise timer events. These don't rely on a message queue and so pumping messages won't affect how the timer event is raised. Of course, this assumes you don't need to execute the code in the UI thread. Whether this is the case in your situation is not clear from the question. (Actually, it is possible to get this approach to work even if you do need to execute some code in the UI thread while holding the lock, but it gets tricky…better to avoid doing that if you can help it.)

*Use the _commandInProgress variable to detect the situation and ignore the timer event if the flag is already set to true. Of course, this assumes you don't need to execute the command on every timer event, and that there's some reasonable way to skip doing so (including dealing with the lack of a result value from the call to the native code). Again, there's not enough information in the question to know if this is the case.

J&J Tries, Fails to Squeeze Whistle Blower in Texas Risperdal Case
Kermit Cole
In giving final approval to the $158 million settlement with Texas over illegal promotion of Risperdal, Judge John Dietz denied Johnson &Johnson's request to halve whistleblower Allen Jones' share of the award. Jones, who lost his job as an investigator for Pennsylvania's Office of the Inspector General when he brought attention to Medicaid fraud which has resulted in dozens of resolved and pending lawsuits, worried that J&J's effort to limit his award would discourage other whistleblowers and law firms from filing such cases. "The number is not what it was originally about," Jones said.

Bolton is a sovereigntist," John Yoo told me. "He thinks the U.S. should not be bound by international organizations, and we should not be ceding our authority to the United Nations or NAFTA." After the Cold War, "the U.S. tied itself down with multilateral institutions, primarily run by Europeans, to constrain our freedom of action—to tie down Gulliver." Every time the United States joins an alliance, or consents to arbitration on equal terms with, say, Latvia or Guinea, one more rope is lashed over Gulliver's limbs.

California Is at War With the Trump White House
Governor Gavin Newsom called President Trump's border wall and immigrant bashing "a national disgrace."
From the moment Donald Trump took office, California has been ground zero for the resistance against him and his administration, in terms of both grassroots citizen activism and legal and administrative action by its Democratic-dominated state government. But since the inauguration of Governor Gavin Newsom in January, the Golden State has often seemed to be in a state of total war with the White House.
At the same time, California's once-mighty Republican Party—which gave the nation Earl Warren, Richard Nixon, and Ronald Reagan—is at war with itself, and weaker than it's been in decades. The GOP's new state-Senate leader was once quoted as suggesting that California's epic drought was divine punishment for abortion, and last weekend the party elected its first female and first Latina state chair, only after a bitter internecine fight that left its conservative wing enraged.

How to Cheat at Xi Jinping Thought
A newly mandatory app is eating up Chinese workers' time—so they're finding ways around it.
The origin of the app has some obvious parallels to Cultural Revolution-era drives to study Mao Zedong's Little Red Book. For example, the first two characters of the app's logo are written in Mao's calligraphic style. Mao once encouraged youths to study hard and make progress every day, while Xi has highlighted several times the importance of study in a digital era of media.
And this one's for the liminal, borders and walls collection:
When the Frontier Becomes the Wall
What the border fight means for one of the nation's most potent, and most violent, myths.
n Election Day, 2018, residents of Nogales, Arizona, began to notice a single row of coiled razor wire growing across the top of the city's border wall. The barrier has been a stark feature of the town's urban landscape for more than twenty years, rolling up and over hilltops as it cleaves the American town from its larger, Mexican counterpart. But, in the weeks and months that followed, additional coils were gradually installed along the length of the fence by active-duty troops sent to the border by President Trump, giving residents the sense that they were living inside an occupied city. By February, concertina wire covered the wall from top to bottom, and the Nogales City Council passed a unanimous resolution calling for its removal. Such wire has only one purpose, the resolution declared—to harm or to kill. It is something "only found in a war, prison, or battle setting."

That was supposed to be the start of a whole new Paul Manafort, right? Coming clean, pleading guilty, admitting guilt on the charges on which they didn't retry him, right? At that moment, when he decided to plead and become a cooperator, that was him joining Team USA .. joining Team USA, joining the prosecutors, admitting his guilt .. the cooperation aspect of Paul Manafort's case is another fascinating curve-ball..

From last year's adaptations of the Snow White fairy tale, Mirror Mirror star Lily Collins and Sam Claflin of Snow White and the Huntsman will team up for a big screen adaptation of the Cecelia Ahern novel Where Rainbows End.
Directed by Germany's Christian Ditter (Wickie And The Treasure Of The Gods), principal photography starts in May on the Love, Rosie project.
Collins plays Rosie with Claflin as her best friend and star-crossed lover, Alex in the romantic comedy from a screenplay by Juliette Towhidi (Calendar Girls).
A bubbly screenplay that blends comedy, romance and drama follows a college-age girl who discovers she's pregnant after one night with the most popular boy at school. She tells her best friend, who is not the father of her child, to get on with life without her and over the next 12 years their lives change, but an undeniable connection remains.
David Garrett's Mister Smith Entertainment is debuting the project at European Film Markets during the Berlin Film Fest this week.
Collins is set to star in the adaptation of the New York Times bestselling 'The Mortal Instruments' novels by Cassandra Clare, playing Clary Fray, while Claflin was cast as Finnick Odair in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

Q & A with Simone Kaho for National Poetry Day 2016
Simone Kaho is a NZ poet of Tongan ancestry. She was awarded a Masters in Creative Writing from the International Institute of Modern Letters in 2011 and her first collection, Lucky Punch, is forthcoming from Anahera Press. Simone is an accomplished performance poet and her poetry is published in such places as Turbine, Blackmail Press, JAAM, and The Dominion Post. She is one of four poets featured in Poems In Your Pocket 2016 for National Poetry Day. Here she answers a few questions from our national coordinator about her poetry, her plans, and her advice for new poets.
[Simone Kaho - Photo by Erin Gaffney]
1. Name three NZ poets you think everyone needs to read at least once in their life. Why?
Ria Masae - I saw Ria perform for the first time this year and she blew me away. Intense word play, beautiful sounds like a waterfall for the ear, provocative yet classic images with viscerally intimate character and situation portraits. She writes about modern flawed woman experiences, here in NZ, with a fierce humility that has the power to cut through gender and class divides and fearlessly connect with her audience.
Hone Tuwhare - The poems Drunk and Rain did something to me that had never been done before. I felt I knew the voice speaking, that it was a version of my own, and also one entirely superior, physically and philosophically irresistible. A true New Zealand/Aotearoa voice. Witty, whimsically anguished and brute perfect.
Lynn Jenner - I love the way Lynn takes a theme/person and examines it lovingly from all angles. She takes her time in responding and including a full range of responses to her subject matter. Her approach to form excites me, weaving hybrid prose/non-fiction poems/letters into surprising yet satisfying narratives. Her book Dear Sweet Harry was one of my inspirations for Lucky Punch.
2. What made you write the poem that appears in Poems in Your Pocket 2016?
I'd recently stopped drinking completely, my inner clock was a bit warped and emotions were all over the place. I spent a week waking up between 3 and 4am and not being able to get back to sleep - so I'd hear the first birds coming awake and singing, and it'd make me weep. I wrote this poem on ANZAC morning, after having woken up this way, and thinking about the young man Lucky Punch is based on and how vulnerable and lovely he was. Then I thought about all the young men who've gone to wars with little life experience, having been sold on the adventure, and duty and masculine accomplishment of it; and this poem arrived.
3. You have a book in the pipe-line, what are you working on next?
I've been writing loads while travelling over the last two months and it feels like there'll be something in there. I've felt my perspective change and widen quickly over this time and it'll be interesting to see how that's reflected in the writing. I've also been thinking about a female protagonist project for quite a while which would be a collection of stories told in poetry or flash fiction about brave and risky stuff that women I know have done. Kind of a Kill Bill meets Joan of Arc type thing.
4. What's one piece of advice you have for a brand new poet?
Head straight for your fascinations. Sprint towards the ideas, notions, situations, sensations, people, conversations, animals, colours (etc. etc.) that excite and titivate you. Explore only these aggressively, or with utter control, or sensuously and slowly, or carelessly in your poetry. Never write about anything because you feel you should.
5. What will you be doing on National Poetry Day this year?
I will be somewhere in Thailand, possibly Koh Yao Noi, most likely doing some yoga. I will try to find an audience to read some New Zealand poetry to.
Find a National Poetry Day event near you in the 2016 Calendar of Events.
Poems in Your Pocket is a poetry booklet you download online, print, fold, and pocket to share for National Poetry Day. A single page becomes a miniature poetry book featuring four NZ poets.

Bake-Off's Paul Hollywood takes to the track with Aston Martin
GBBO star and petrolhead Paul Hollywood chats to us about racing with Aston Martin
by: Stephen Errity
News about the Great British Bake Off (GBBO) is moving fast of late – but not quite as fast as one half of its star judging team. Since early last year, lifelong petrolhead Paul Hollywood has been carving out a second career for himself in the cockpit of a racing car – and says he wants to go all the way to the Le Mans 24 Hours. Auto Express sat down with the baking maestro during a recent race meeting at Donington Park to learn more.
Hollywood is a big Aston Martin fan and it was an invitation from the brand to try one of its Vantage GT4 race cars in October 2014 that began his journey into motorsport. At this first test, he met Andrew Howard, the chairman of Wycombe Wanderers football club and owner of Beechdean Ice Cream, but also an experienced 'gentleman' racer himself.
As a keen biker, Hollywood initially didn't warm to the cramped environs of a race car. "On a bike, you've got a lot of freedom: the helmet aperture is bigger, you're free to move about and there's lots of air," he remembers. "All of a sudden I was in a dark cockpit surrounded by a roll cage, strapped into a harness, wearing a fireproof balaclava and a race suit. I freaked out. I just said 'get me out of this car, it's not for me'. I got out, but Andrew was great – we had a chat, I sat down for 30 minutes, then we built it up slowly, starting with an open-face helmet, then moving to a closed-face and taking it from there."
Having resolved to go racing with Howard's Beechdean Motorsport squad, Hollywood's next step was some club-level events in the UK to gain the experience to compete at a higher level – and it was here that he experienced a breakthrough. "I was racing at Silverstone and there was a red flag. The team told me to come in and wait at the end of the pitlane for the restart. I opened the door to let some air in, and was so relaxed that I actually fell asleep – it was probably only for 90 seconds or so, but it felt like longer – and from then on, I was fine."
Mid-way through 2015, Hollywood took part in the biggest event of his racing journey so far: the Aston Martin Festival, which is an hour-long support race that happens the morning before the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans in France. "It was amazing to race around there in a big field of Astons – a big tick on the bucket list," he said. "To go down the Mulsanne Straight in front of 250,000 people for the first time is a massive buzz. I think I let out a big giggle and I wasn't even flat out. I almost felt like a passenger or that I was watching myself on TV. It's given me the desire to do the 24 Hours itself one day. I'd love to go back now a year later and see how much quicker I'd be. From here on in, it's all about getting as much time in the car as possible."
With that in mind, 2016 saw Hollywood step up to the British GT Championship, taking in the final three rounds of the series due to being tied up with filming the current series of Bake Off earlier in the year. "I come from my world to this in the blink of an eye and I have to switch to being a racing driver," he says. "I'm beginning to learn how to do it, it's like a trip switch. I'm not Paul Hollywood from Bake Off when I come here – I'm just a rookie driver trying to learn from Andrew and the rest of the team."
"I'm surrounded by guys who know what they're doing – the Beechdean team are so professional, yet we all know each other well, it's like a family. I get the same feeling on Bake Off: if you're not in the right mindset when you turn up on set, you can't do the job and it's the same here; if I didn't feel comfortable it'd be very difficult. Whether you're in front of the camera or in the driving seat, you need that group of people around you."
The penultimate round of the British GT championship at the Snetterton circuit in Norfolk was a particular highlight, as it saw Hollywood and his professional co-driver Jamie Chadwick (below right) race to a sixth-place finish in the GT4 class. "I didn't want to be part of a race team just because I was 'the guy from Bake Off' – others have done that type of thing in the past," he says. "I wanted to be respected as someone who can pedal a bit. Snetterton was the breakthrough point where I probably got people talking, saying 'he's alright'. That meant a lot to me personally: I like challenges and I'm as ambitious here as I am in my career."
It was also a satisfying moment for Howard, who, as boss of the Beechdean team, is guiding Hollywood's progress in the sport. "The big issue is time in the car," he explains, "Each time there's a long gap between races, you have to build yourself back up to where you were at the end of the previous weekend before you can improve further. We're only working with Paul because we think he can drive and he proved that at Snetterton. Our job now is just to treat him as any other kind of driver and bring him to the best possible opportunities."
One element of modern motorsport that initially caught Hollywood by surprise is the level of data and analysis involved: "It took me a while to figure out the point," he explains. "At first, my philosophy was just 'jump in the car and drive it like you stole it'. But I think understanding the Pirelli tyres and how they work, 'scrubbing in' a tyre, being on it from the word go and being consistent is really difficult.
"It's similar to baking in a way – my mum could bake a great loaf, but you have to be able to bake that same great loaf every day. That takes you from being a baker to being a great baker and it's the same in a car – you can go out, bang out a couple of laps and do well, but doing that consistently every time is what makes a great driver and that's what I'm trying to achieve."
Yet even though he's now clearly caught the racing bug, Hollywood isn't about to move away from TV – on the contrary, he's found a way to combine the two. "I'm going to be doing a new motoring show for the BBC on Sunday nights; we start filming in a couple of weeks. I'll be doing road trips, testing racing cars and supercars, meeting some legendary racing drivers and some fascinating car collectors. It's my way of balancing the two sides of my life."

Late Breaking Local News
Vice Mayor hopeful deal with Hamilton County over Banks will be worked out
By 700WLW News Aug 11, 2020
( Cincinnati, OH ) - Work has come to a halt on a new park on Cincinnati's riverfront. The city has pulled all the permits for the project as part of the dispute with Hamilton County over construction of the new music venue at the Banks. Work continues on the venue itself which is currently being built near Paul Brown Stadium.
As for the nearby park, Vice Mayor Chris Smitherman says the county has not lived up to the original deal to make the project a reality and pulling the permits was all about sending a message to Hamilton County Commissioners.
Smitherman told 700 WLW's Scott Sloan, "Calmer heads are going to prevail. But at the end of the day it's still isn't going to resolve... will the Banks Project as it relates to lot 1 and lot 13, which is our land, will the County convey that to the city as they agreed to eight months ago?"
The deal was brokered by Mayor John Cranley and late County Commissioner Todd Portune and agreed in principle, but it has not been made official.
Smitherman says the original deal was for the county and city to split up the final parcels of land that have not been developed to try and finally complete the 3 billion dollar Banks Project.
A special joint meeting of City Council's Budget and Finance Committee and Hamilton County Commissioners Wednesday at 1pm.

Exactly why I went back to 11.7 Build 46SE. Using Win XP SP3.
Found out why no problem on desktop - still using 11.7 build 46!!!
Just reinstalled 11.7 build 46 SR and mouse pointer operation is very normal.
This all is on my laptop. Do not recall similar problem on desktop.
Mouse pointer hesitates, skips and jumps ONLY in Avant window. Does not do it in IE8 or when Avant is not maximized, does not do it outside of Avant window.
So simple - yet many of the replies I read prior to this one did not offer this solution.

Q: Start a Thread with same as parent security context in C#.net I have a method that spawns a new thread as follows:
Thread thread = new Thread(() => ClassObject.SetXY(var1, var2));
thread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA);
thread.Start();
thread.Join();

I currently get access denied (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED)) Exception from the COM interop I am trying.
I do not get that exception when I run the function in same parent thread. However, I need it to run in separate thread to set the apartment state to STA. I am currently running my code as windows service and even when I use [STAThread] on the main method I do not get that to work.
Briefly What I need:

*

*1- either start a thread (STA) like above that has same security
context as parent thread.

D2-250 PLC PID Loops Control Pumps In Residential Water System
We used PID loops in the D2-250 CPU to control three pumps and maintain pressure in a residential water system. The flow demand varies from zero to 250 gallons per minute. The pumps all have variable speed drives with the speed reference and run commands coming from the 250 CPU. At low flow, one pump runs alone, as needed, to maintain the pressure. As the flow increases, the other pumps are brought on, either in tandem with the first, or at a constant flow rate. The flow from each pump has an upper limit; if the total flow demand exceeds the combined upper limits, the pressure will fall. The result is that each pump can operate in an optimum range on its pump curve, and a widely varying flow can be delivered and the pressure is maintained very closely. The operator interface is a color touch screen
that displays the pump status, flow rates, and system pressure. All the setpoints for pump on/off and associated time delays are easily accessible to the system operator.

D2-250 CPU Maintains Water Pressure For City Water System
We created a water pressure controller for a local city water system. We used a pressure transducer to feed a water pressure signal into the DL205 PLC system analog card. The output from an analog card is used to vary the speed of a 75 HP well pump, controlled by a variable frequency drive, to keep the city water system at a more constant pressure. Setpoints are entered with a touch panel and the pressure is displayed as well. The system controls the startup sequence, releasing the well flow to a drain and slowly cutting into the system to prevent a pressure spike on startup. It also controls the shutdown to prevent a pressure dip. System pressure is maintained with a PID loop in the D2-250 processor.

DL06 PLC and EZTouch Panel Help Move Cement At Bulk Handling Facility
We recently installed a bulk cement handling facility. The facility offloads cement from river barges and pneumatically conveys the powder into a massive storage dome and truck loading facility. The concrete dome, which can hold 30 barge loads of cement powder, was erected using an inflatable air form system. A MODBUS network of four DL06 PLCs, controlled by an EZTouch Operator Interface, outloads the cement from the dome. A 4-20 ma PID loop implemented in one of the DL06 processors controls the speed of two hydraulically driven sweep augers. An analog radar sensor monitors the cement level in the truck-loading silo. All three primary functions are graphically animated and displayed on the EZTouch panel. The "supervisory master" DL06 controls the pneumatic conveying system and acts as the communications hub for the slave processors. Each processor runs local functions independent of the master. One feature that is particularly useful is the alarm history on the EZTouch panel. Future planned expansions of this facility will be simply and easily added to our system network.

Aluminum Anodizing System Controlled With Help From D2-260 PLC system and EZText Panel
Our system controls aluminum anodizing. The operator uses an EZText panel to enter the size of the job and the desired thickness of anodizing. The D2-260 translates this into the necessary current, voltage, and time profile required to produce the desired result, and controls a 300kW SCR switched power supply that delivers the anodizing current to the workpiece. Since the optimum waveform has both short term (~1sec) and long term (~5min) components, and needs precise control over two orders of magnitude (10A to 1000A), the floating point math capabilities of the D2-260 are used quite heavily. The environment is extremely noisy electrically (because of the 300kW SCR phase angle switching), so the design of the grounding and shielding, as well as software filtering, were very important to the success of the project.
In addition to the standard PLC on/off inputs and outputs, analog inputs and analog outputs are used as part of the monitoring and control process.

Cost-Effective I/O Simplifies Hydroelectric Plant Controls Upgrade
Lockhart Power Company owns and operates a hydroelectric plant located on the Broad River in upstate South Carolina, and services over 6,000 direct customers and 6,000 indirect customers over its 90-mile transmission network. The plant includes an 8-gate dam feeding a canal that channels the water flow to the powerhouse, which contains five turbine generators with a combined power capacity of over 17 MW. The dam and turbine control system receives data from power, flow, and level sensing devices to perform monitoring and control of the dam, generators, and associated equipment.
The previous control system, installed in 1987, was a proprietary microprocessor-based system that had become obsolete. Lockhart required a control system that would provide open networking capabilities, and result in a lower total cost of ownership. The new system needed to coexist with an upgraded design of the existing hardwired generator controls, and perform distributed, independent control at the dam and each of the five turbine stations. Each I/O control node would replace the old equipment in the existing control cabinets and be networked to the central control room.
Systems Integrator And Vendor Selection
Lockhart Power contracted North Fork Electric, a provider of hydroelectric products and systems integration services in Crumpler, NC, to lend their expertise to the renovation. North Fork Electric proposed a 3-tier solution. Level 1 included new hardwired controls for manual operation of the system. Level 2 included PLC-based control of the dam and generators in an automatic mode. Level 3 provided PC-based redundant control and monitoring from a central location, and also supplied connectivity to the plantwide Ethernet network.
The system consists of seven DL205 micro-modular PLCs using D2-250 CPUs with built-in PID functionality. Each of the five systems for generator control includes analog I/O and an Ethernet communications module. The remaining two PLCs are configured in a master/slave arrangement and control the dam gates, located upriver from the powerhouse, via radio modems.
To reduce maintenance costs, North Fork Electric selected DL205 I/O components to maximize commonality among all systems. The identical analog output modules used on the generators, configured for ±10 VDC, can be configured for the 0-5 VDC dam gate control signals by simply moving the module's range selection jumpers. AC/DC relay modules are also used for both generator and dam control. Two operator interfaces and a Windows NT-based PC running the LookoutDirect SCADA/HMI software package complete the system.
In the automatic mode, the PLC can start, stop, and operate the generator via two PID loops that control startup and synchronization of the turbine. Changing the generator gate position varies the flow of water to the turbine, and thus the generator's speed/frequency. To bring a generator online, it must first be synchronized with the line frequency of the power utility. The first PID loop slowly increases the generator speed until it reaches 90% of the setpoint, at which point the logic switches to frequency control. Once online, the generator's power output is varied by changing gate position.
To complete Level 2 control, North Fork Electric then installed the dam control system. This system controls the eight canal gates located at the dam, which regulate the flow of water downstream to the turbines. The operator enters the required gate-position setpoints using a color touch panel connected to the dam control's master PLC in the control room. Data is transmitted to the slave PLC, located at the dam, via 900 MHz radio modems. The slave PLC monitors individual gate positions using proximity switches that count teeth on the drives' gears, and moves the gates up or down until they reach the desired positions.
North Fork Electric engineers then implemented the third and final tier of control and monitoring. The LookoutDirect SCADA system communicates to all the PLCs over an Ethernet network, performs supervisory control, and collects data that is easily passed to the plant's information system.
The installation was completed in four weeks to provide Lockhart Power with a powerful, yet simple, redundant control system that uses their familiar hardwired design as the manual control mode.

What or who should the bridge over Broad Street be named after?
The City of Murfreesboro is asking citizens to share their suggestions for naming or re-naming the so-called "Bridge Over Broad" by participating in an online web survey. The survey is available at https://www.cognitoforms.com/CityOfMurfreesboro1/BridgeOverBroadNameSuggestions.
The survey is seeking suggestions for naming the new bridge overpass currently under construction at Broad Street and Memorial Boulevard.
Known today as "Bridge Over Broad," the $17.6 million bridge project is desperately needed to relieve extreme congestion at this intersection. When opened, it will create a single point urban interchange.
City Council is seeking suggestions for naming the new Bridge Over Broad overpass. Councilmember Rick LaLance proposed "First Responders Memorial Bridge" during a Dec. 3, 2017 council meeting. The City is open to other suggestions as well at this time. Please choose "Other" if you have another idea or just click on "submit" to cast your vote for this one.
The survey is an opportunity for citizens to participant in creating a name for the bridge. The survey asks for your contact information, suggested name, and explanation (if you choose to add one) and takes about 1-3 minutes to complete.
In January 2014 when Bell & Associates Construction began work on the interchange, the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on Old Fort Pkwy/Memorial Blvd was 27,240. The ADT on Broad was 31,430. By 2034, the ADT was projected to be 72,740.
For more information, please contact Jim Kerr, City Transportation Director, jkerr@murfreesborotn.gov. For more information on the TDOT project, visit the project website at http://www.tn.gov/tdot/topic/state-route-1-interchange-at-state-route-10-96 .

> Robert Bruce V, lord of Annandale (d.1295)
Robert Bruce V, lord of Annandale (d.1295)
Robert was the son of Robert (IV) de Brus (d.1226×33) and Isabel (d.1251), second daughter of David, earl of Huntingdon (d.1219). Robert succeeded as a minor, placing his birth around 1220. Upon his mother's death, he succeeded to her estates in Essex and Garioch (ABD), part of the Huntingdon inheritance. He served as sheriff of Cumberland in 1255 and again in 1283-85, and constable of Carlisle Castle in 1267-68. He took part in the Crusade of 1270 with Edward, future king of England, and Edward's brother, Edmund. Bruce was later one of the leading competitors of the crown after the death of Alexander III. Robert had married Isabel (d. in or after 1264), daughter of Gilbert de Clare, earl of Hertford and Gloucester, by whom he had two sons, Richard (d.1285/86) and Robert (d.1304). His second wife was Christina (d.1305), daughter of Sir William of Ireby, a Cumberland knight. Robert died at Lochmaben on 31 March 1295 and was buried on 17 April at Guisborough Priory. A.A.M.

Recently, I was looking for resources to help explain the implications of integrating FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) with proprietary software. This question is important for any organization who might want to build an "embedded" or "dedicated" system or product which might include either their own proprietary software or third party applications. I discovered that most of the information available about FOSS licensing addresses this issue rather obliquely. This post will cover the basics so that such organizations can see how straightforward it would be to include FOSS in their projects. Standard disclaimers about my not being a lawyer apply.
Use of any software system requires understanding the software licensing involved. There are many dozens of FOSS licenses that could apply in your situation, so understanding the details is necessary to assess compatibility. In broad terms, these can be effectively summarized by the Debian Free Software Guidelines and The Open Source Definition. Any software that complies with those specifications will freely (in both the "freedom" and money senses of the word) permit running proprietary and FOSS applications on the same system. This is easier said than done. Since Debian has analyzed most common FOSS and quasi-FOSS licenses, their archive and their license page can be used to assess how the license might work in your situation (for example, anything in "main" would be OK for co-distribution and running in mixed environments). So we always start with Debian's meticulous and well-documented analysis to assess any license.
From a high-level perspective, the requirements that FOSS licensing will impose on an organization wanting to include it with proprietary software will primarily be in the form of providing appropriate attribution (acknowledgement) and providing the source code for any FOSS software (including any modifications) shipped as part of an integrated system. Typically the attribution requirement can be satisfied by simply referencing the source code of the FOSS components. The source code requirement can be met by providing the source code for all of the FOSS distributed as part of the integrated system, for example, by placing it on a documented ftp site.
There are some subtle issues that may arise during the software development process if proprietary and FOSS code are "linked" together. In such cases it is necessary to ensure that code over which one wants to assert proprietary control is only combined with FOSS code that explicitly supports such commingling. So it is necessary for a company wanting to keep its code proprietary to keep it "separate" from the FOSS code used in the integrated system. The use of the words "linked" and "separate" is intentionally vague because the terms of each FOSS license will need to be examined by legal counsel to understand the precise requirements. In these situations, there are license compliance management systems that can be adopted to help ensure that this separation is maintained.

Q: How can I prove that $S^n$ is a $n$-dim manifold? During proving another theorem, I need to prove that $S^n$ is an $n$-dim manifold that $S^n$ is a sphere  with unit diameter.how can I prove it?
any help would be great thanks.

A: Let $U= S^n$ \ $(1,0,...,0)$, $V=S^n$ \ $(-1,0,...,0)$, with maps:
$\phi^{-1}: (x_0,...,x_n) \mapsto \frac{1}{1+x_0}(x_1,...,x_n)$ on $V$
$\psi^{-1}: (x_0,...,x_n) \mapsto \frac{1}{1-x_0}(x_1,...,x_n)$ on $U$
Prove these are homeomorphisms and you've got your theorem.


Later, the helicopter was found dumped in a suburb after the criminals burned it just northeast of Paris.
This time he flew out of the prison in Reu, about 25 miles southeast of Paris in a helicopter.
A union representative at Reau told BFM television that "two men dressed in black, wearing balaclavas and police armbands" entered the prison to look for Faid and used a grinding machine to cut open the door that directly leads to the visiting room. He was serving prison for a time duration of 25-years for a failed robbery in which a police officer was killed.
Faid, 46, was reportedly assisted by at least three armed accomplices who picked him up by helicopter from the Reau prison courtyard, in the southeatern suburbs of Paris, Le Parisien newspaper reported.
Redoine Faid, France's notorious gangster dramatically flew away from a prison after his associates hitched him a ride in a hijacked helicopter.
The brochure included no mention of a courtyard - large enough for a light utility helicopter such as, say, an Aerospatiale Alouette II - that would, notably, be the only part of the prison not covered by "anti-helicopter netting", according to the Associated Press.
In 2013, Faid blasted his way out of prison with explosives concealed in tissue packs. They had earlier taken a helicopter instructor hostage while he was waiting for a student, and ordered him to go to the prison.
The helicopter was later found in a north-eastern suburb of the French capital, they said, adding that a police search has been launched across the entire Paris region.
After the helicopter that flew Faid out of jail was set on fire, its occupants fled by vehicle in a black Renault Megane which they later dumped in the underground auto park of a shopping centre near the airport. Investigators were questioning Faid's brother on Sunday afternoon.
He said his life of crime was inspired by American films such as Scarface and Heat. He was on the run for 6 weeks before he was recaptured in a hotel room.
Faid was freed in 2009 after serving 10 years in prison. In 2001, he was sentenced to 30 years in prison for armed robbery.
The same year that the book came out, the Telegraph wrote, Faid was suspected of masterminding a botched armed robbery, in which a police officer was killed in a shootout.

D-Link's DGS-1100-08P is the newest addition to Smart Managed Switches featuring D-Link Green Technology. The DGS-1100-08P offers eight 10/100/1000 Mbps ports with PoE technology. Switch management can be performed through a web management interface or through the SmartConsole Utility. A fanless design allows for quieter operation and provides a longer product life. The DGS-1100-08P provides an affordable solution for Small and Medium Business, and for communities without IT staff. They are also suitable for enterprise deployment, such as in branch offices and meeting rooms that require simple network management.
The DGS-1100-08P supports Surveillance VLAN, which is best suited for video surveillance deployment. Surveillance VLAN is a new, industry leading technology that consolidates data and surveillance video transmission through a single DGS-1100 switch, thus sparing businesses the expense of dedicated hardware and facilities. Surveillance VLAN also ensures the quality of real-time video for monitoring and control without compromising the transmission of conventional network data. In addition, with Bandwidth Control, network administrators can reserve bandwidth for important functions that require more bandwidth or might have high priority.
The DGS-1100-08P delivers Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities, making deployment with IP cameras, VoIP phones, and access points much easier. Power cords will become a thing of the past, as the DGS-1100-08P complies with the 802.3af standard for PoE and supports a 64 Watt power budget. The 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet ports mean that even high-quality video is no problem.
The DGS-1100 Smart Managed Switches support an intuitive SmartConsole utility and a web-based management interface that enables administrators to remotely control their network down to the port level. The SmartConsole allows customers to discover multiple D-Link Smart Switches within the same L2 network segment. With this utility, users do not need to change the IP address of their PC, and this also makes initial setup of the Smart Switches quick and easy. Switches within the same L2 network segment that are connected to the user's PC are displayed on-screen for instant access. This allows for extensive switch configuration and basic setup of discovered devices, including password changes and firmware upgrades.
Compliant with IEEE802.3az Energy Efficient Ethernet, this switch consumes less energy by cutting down on power consumption when the traffic volume is low. By deploying EEE devices, users can cut operating costs and even cut down on necessary cooling equipment. The DGS-1100 Series also features D-Link Green Technology that helps in automatically saving energy. This switch can automatically detect the length of the connected cables and can adjust power usage for shorter cable connections. In addition, this switch monitors link status of every port and drastically reduces power consumption when a port is without a link.

Chemistry is the study of the structure of matter and the changes or transformations that take place in it. Learning about the makeup of substances gives us knowledge about how things go together and how they can be taken apart. Learning about changes in substances is important for several reasons: changes can be controlled to produce new materials; changes can give off energy to run machines. The Mixtures and Solutions Module has four investigations that introduce students to these fundamental ideas in chemistry.
Gain experience with the concepts of mixture and solution and the physical properties of substances that are used to identify them as mixtures and solutions.
Gain experience with the concepts of saturation and supersaturation.
Identify properties of common solid, liquid, and gaseous substances.
Understand that during chemical reactions, atoms rearrange to form products with different properties.
Learn that all matter is made of very small particles called atoms and that atoms combine to form molecules and compounds.
Know that the 90 naturally occurring elements and their combinations account for all the varied types of matter in the world.
Understand that the periodic table organizes the elements by their chemical properties.
Plan and conduct simple chemical investigations.
Use measurement and appropriate tools in the context of scientific investigations.
Record data, develop scientific evidence, and draw conclusions from that evidence.


While speaking to ANI on impleadment application against Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik filed in Supreme Court (SC) in a coal block allocation case, Biju Janata Dal (BJD) Member of Parliament (MP) Pinaki Misra said, "It's a contemptible issue. The issue is 21 years old. It relates to a time when Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik was holding additional charge of Coal Ministry for about a couple of months only." "Issue never came up when Patnaik ji was holding additional charge, so he has no role to play in this. Repeated attempts have been made to try and rope him in by the Centre. It's being driven by unholy cash generated by some vested interests attempting to play a dirty game," he added.

Enhancing M&A data management
Once a target firm is bought, the most difficult job of the acquirer begins: to create the value that was expected from the deal through successful integration of the companies' operations. Whatever the acquirer's strategy, combining two firms will often constitute a challenging task for management. The acquirer must implement synergies to create value while simultaneously managing issue to avoid value leakage.
The fraXses technology the manages change more elegantly during an acquisition than traditional approaches.
Currently a successful M&A depends on a flexible IT architecture that goes beyond simplifying integration, to strengthen the value created by the acquisition. Typically the IT functions develops standard processes, tools, and data-management systems to absorb an acquisition. In some cases, it makes sense to hold on to a target company's legacy systems. A financial institution's CRM systems, for example, may be closely tied to the new markets and customer bases that represent a significant chunk of a deal's value.
This is an area in which the fraXses methodology comes into its own. Instead of trying to integrate those systems into existing ones geared to different types of customers which could be too disruptive. the fraXses platform enables the business to federate the data across the existing and newly acquired sources to utilise the data as if it were a single source, while the data remains in its existing location.
Utilising the fraXses automatic discovery processes it is possible to get to grips with the new data in a much shorter period that previously expected. With the initial source discovery taking moments and automatic schema discovery creating a detailed picture of the acquired data sources it is down to the automatic relationship and link discovery to recommend the relationships and links between the businesses existing data and the newly acquired data.
For the acquiring business, the fraXses platform and methodology can dramatically shorten the time to value. It replaces the complex development efforts that come from integrating disparate systems and overcomes one of the complex challenges in the M&A process.

Dehumidifier is a good tool during humid season, however, the placement of dehumidifier affects a place's Feng Shui to a large extent.
As dehumidifier can bring a circulation of air within a space, it has similar function on placing a tap water on Feng Shui aspect.
In 2016, placing a dehumidifier on South-West, South-East or East can enhance your luck of wealth, love & interpersonal relationship and auspicious event.
However, if you place a dehumidifier on North-East, Central part or North-West of your home, it would bring you sickness and more argument with others.

Hark made Hong Kong a global force
Fest Traveler: Busan -- Asian Filmmaker of the Year: Tsui Hark
By Clifford Coonan
Clifford Coonan
@cliffordcoonan
China's Richest Writer Guo Jingming's Film Depicts a New China 10 years ago
China's DMG Boards Johnny Depp's 'Transcendence' 10 years ago
China Box Office Climbs 36% in First Half of 2013 10 years ago
Tsui Hark is not entirely comfortable with kudos — while the Hong Kong helmer is delighted to receive the Asian Filmmaker of the Year award at the 16th Busan Film Festival, he sees awards as a challenge to go on to bigger and better things. Busan organizers say the helmer known for "A Chinese Ghost Story," "Peking Opera Blues," "The Swordsman" and "Seven Swords" has been given the award because he established Hong Kong film in the global market and rewrote the history of Hong Kong films.
"It's really an honor, but I'm still thinking when you have something like this you have to push yourself and move forward. You have to prove you have the energy to do as good as before if not better," says Tsui. "The challenge is to keep looking forward. I have to live up to the honor like this but be alert because it's not like something to prove you're safe. I'll go on making movies. I have to remember to live up to that standard."
Previous winners of the award include Iran's Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Taiwan's Hou Hsiao-hsien and Hong Kong multihyphenate Andy Lau.
Tsui is doing post-production on his 3D chopsocky epic "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate," which will unspool on Imax in China as well as standard 3D digital on Dec. 18 — the first Chinese film to screen in Imax 3D.
Pic, about the hunt for a missing concubine, stars Jet Li, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Li Yuchun, Kwai Lun-mei and Mavis Fan, and is co-produced by China Film Group, SMG Pictures, Shine Show Interactive Media and Bona.
Tsui pioneered the Hong Kong New Wave in the 1980s, and runs Film Workshop, which he co-founded with his partner Nansun Shi.
Asked what his favorite movie is, Tsui gets animated. He is a fanatical moviegoer.
"Movies play an important factor in entertaining and inspiration of a person. I always look for a movie that generates that kind of energy.
I'm energized by that kind of creativity. I'm always looking for a certain movie and if that doesn't exist in the market, then I will try and make it. It's like cooking something that you like to eat, it's an enjoyable process," says Tsui.
One of the things he is fond of is revisiting other filmmakers' work, including the films of Akira Kurosawa, and is rediscovering him of late.
"I've been watching him again recently and finding things I missed before. I like finding a new perspective. I'm going to look at Truffaut's work, to re-evaluate his work. My favorite films are always ones that represents something," he says, adding that "Shanghai Blues," Film Workshop's first production, will always mean a lot to him. "I never expected to own a company."
Born in China in 1951, he spent the first few years of his life in Saigon, Vietnam, and studied film at the U. of Texas in Austin.
Among the milestones in his careers is "Once Upon a Time in China," the first in a series of movies featuring Jet Li.
The Chinese market is booming these days, much of it because of an influx of talent and expertise from Hong Kong. Tsui says he is both optimistic and pessimistic about the business.
"On the one hand, China is increasing screens and the industry has grown, opening up a lot of possibilities for filmmakers. At the same time, there are more and more productions and we need more people to provide professional service and creativity," he says, adding that the process of building up the industry will take time.
"I'm a filmmaker looking for a certain kind of 'realism in creativity,' " he says. "We as filmmakers are always looking for new ways of telling of story. We are always looking for clues and for new elements and new passion."

What could be better than a charter vacation in the British Virgin Islands, with some of the most beautiful, and boater-friendly, cruising grounds in the world? Well, how about a crewed charter vacation in the BVI, where someone else does the driving, the planning, the cooking and the cleaning up?
Sounds good? Take a look at the MarineMax Vacations crewed charters now located at Scrub Island Resort, Spa and Marina, next to Tortola. They'll move to their new permanent location at Nanny Cay in the fall, once construction is finished there. The rebuilt Nanny Cay, on the south side of Tortola between Road Town and West End, will have a 40-room hotel, three restaurants, a swimming pool and chandlery, as well as the MarineMax facility.
A popular charter boat there is the MarineMax 484 (pictured above), a luxurious power cat, with four large staterooms, providing privacy for everyone on board; each stateroom has an en suite head, with a stall shower, all working off the boat's own fresh water system. Each stateroom also has panoramic windows.
The main deck takes advantage of the cat's full 23'6" beam, so there's plenty of room to relax and enjoy the views through panoramic windows. There's seating in the salon for leisurely dining, but there's even more seating up on the large flybridge, with a large entertainment and dining area including a barbecue, wet bar and sunpad.

Discussion in 'SQL PL/SQL' started by JDsal, Aug 17, 2018.
I have many csv files with many columns some have 50 to 60 + columns. Also with 100's of thousands of records. I have Linux os, with oracle db. I need a way to move csv file data to oracle load table. I have tried sqlldr for example.
However, I have an address column which uses commas which ends up seeing these commas as delimiters and will not load data into my emp table?
Is the address enclosed in quotes?
Post your control file and a few lines of the CSV file, please.
I can't not seem to duplicate the previous issue. Now I am getting invalid valid number where only a decimal point is in numeric field.
That's expected since '.' is a character, not a number. You might want to edit those values and make them either 0 or 0.0.
Can you do that with SQLLDR/could I set enclosed "." as null or something like that?
You could delete the single . character and the value would be NULL. The column that goes into must be one where NULL values can exist.
Null values can exist. I could delete the single ., but how? I will receive this type of csv file on a continual bases. So I would like to remove prior to loading into table using a script to find specified field where that character exist. Maybe Linux script or sqlldr hard code not sure how to go about this?
Still getting invalid number for the field in question for records with '.'. Also not sure if this matters but some records are null also.
You NEED to post your control file -- no one can help you without being able to see what that contains.
