In line with ESIL's goals of encouraging high-level scholarship, developing a greater awareness and understanding of international law, and promoting younger researchers, the ESIL Board decided to award the ESIL Young Scholar Prize (YSP) at each ESIL Annual Conference for an outstanding paper submitted and presented by an early-career scholar. The Prize was first awarded in 2015.
The Prize consists of two years' free membership of the Society, plus a contribution towards the costs of travel and accommodation at the conference.
The winner of the ESIL Young Scholar Prize is announced in the conference programme and the Prize certificate is awarded during the conference dinner. The prize-winning paper will be published in the European Journal of International Law (subject to review).
ESIL is very grateful to Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP (Wilmer Hale), a global law firm, for their sponsorship of the Prize.
The YSP will be awarded for the best paper submitted to the conference or to a pre-conference Interest Group event by scholars at an early stage in their career. Early-career scholars are (i) candidates for a postgraduate degree in law; (ii) PhD candidates or those who have had their oral defence no longer than 3 years prior to the submission of an abstract; or (iii) those who are within the first 5 years of their career following the award of their last academic degree and who can provide evidence of their contribution to legal scholarship through academic publication.
Candidates for the Prize have to be ESIL members at the time of submitting their abstract. Co-authored articles will only be considered for the prize if all authors fulfill the eligibility criteria.
Details of academic background, which indicate how the eligibility criteria are met e.g. date of PhD defence, etc.
Upon acceptance of the abstract for presentation at the conference or at an Interest Group event and confirmation that they are eligible for the YSP, authors must submit a paper of between 8,000 and 12,000 words (including footnotes) to the ESIL Secretariat by 1 July for consideration by the YSP jury.
ESIL strongly encourages young scholars to apply for future conferences and compete for the Prize. The YSP jury consists of three ESIL members selected by the ESIL Board.
If you have any questions about your eligibility for the Young Scholar Prize, please contact the ESIL Secretariat.

The Caspian Pipeline Consortium agreed Wednesday on a $5.4 billion investment to double the pipeline's annual capacity to almost 70 million tons.
"The expansion is, in scale and scope, at least as big as the initial construction," said Ian MacDonald, vice president of Chevron, which has a 15 percent stake in the venture.
The CPC's current Tengiz-Novorossiisk pipeline pumps crude oil 1,511 kilometers from the Tengiz oil field in Kazakhstan, around the northern shores of the Caspian and across Russian territory, to the Black Sea port of Novorossiisk.
In addition to Chevron, the consortium's main shareholders are Russia's Transneft and Kazakhstan's KazMunaiGaz. There are eight other international participants.
The finalized project cost is more than double the $2 billion estimate made by the consortium in 2005.
Expected annual revenues after completion in 2014 are $2.3 billion. These are guaranteed by "pump or pay" agreements — in which members of the consortium must pay compensation if they fail to supply contracted volumes. A temporarily increased pipeline tariff of $38 per ton was also made permanent on Wednesday.
Lukarco, owned by LUKoil, has agreed to supply another 6 million tons of oil on top of the 4 million tons already guaranteed, fulfilling its quota of 10 million tons, Osman Sapayev, Lukarco's head, told journalists.
Finance for the project will come from the revenue it generates. Additional funds will come from a freeze on debt repayment to shareholders. The director of CPC, Nikolai Platonov, said CPC had a total debt of $5 billion, Interfax reported.
If these funds are not sufficient, foreign loans will be sought. CPC enjoys a high credit rating, MacDonald said, and it might seek up to $1.2 billion next year for the expansion project.
This will free up infrastructure in the area for the development of other oil fields, he said.
The president of Kazakhstan's state-run KazMunaiGaz company, Kairgeldy Kabyldin, said oil production in Kazakhstan, now 80 million tons a year, is set to rise to 120 million tons by 2015.
Construction is due to begin in spring 2011 and proceed in three stages, with output reaching 67 million tons after the work is finished in by 2014.
The three largest shareholders will project manage the expansion. Construction contracts will be awarded in the first quarter of 2011, Chevron said in a statement on its web site.
CPC's pipeline opened in 2001 and discussions turned almost immediately to expansion, but negotiations dragged on until this year. Citing unidentified shareholders, Vedomosti reported Tuesday that there are serious concerns about a possible lack of demand, jeopardizing the economic viability of the expansion.

Apple Event Preview: iPad Minis And Retina MacBook Pros And iMacs And Mac Minis, Oh My!
Colorware's latest victim is the new twist-off Mac Mini. This means you can finally give it a proper Apple color scheme rather than the stale aluminum look.


In this day and age of advanced wrongdoing and internet theft many individuals will be very acquainted with the significance of online security, usernames, and passwords. However in the event that you make the inquiry 'What is Two-Factor Authentication?' the probability is they won't realize what it is or how it functions, despite the fact that they may utilize it each and every day.
With standard security methods (particularly on the web), just requiring a basic username and secret key it has turned out to be progressively simple for attackers (either in a composed group or working alone) to access a client's private information, for example, individual and money related subtle elements and afterward utilize that data to confer fake acts, for the most part of a monetary sort.
It is also known as 2FA, or TFA, an additional layer of security that does not enable to keep somebody from getting to your record, regardless of whether they have your secret key. Two-factor authentication expects you to check your personality utilizing an irregular succession of six numbers. You can have this security code sent to your cell phone, or substitute telephone number. Every security code is utilized just once. It isn't a secret word that you have to make and recollect.
Two-factor authentication isn't a new idea yet its use has turned out to be significantly more common with the computerized age we now live in. As of late as February 2011 Google declared two-factor authentication, online for their clients, trailed by MSN and Yahoo. In contrast to single-factor authentication, which demands an entry of your username and password, a 2FA is when you have to input another entry to the login of your account.
2FA protects from access by requiring two techniques (likewise alluded to as variables) to confirm your character. These components can incorporate something you know – like a username and secret key, in addition to something you have – like a cell phone application to endorse validation demands. 2FA ensures against phishing, social engineering, and secret key beast drive assaults and secures your logins from assailants abusing powerless or stolen certifications.
Why Two-factor authentication is necessary?
You can't deny the fact that having the main secret key as a layer of security for your record isn't adequate. It is simple for cybercriminals to test billions of a combination of passwords inside seconds.
As indicated by a review, 65% of population have quite recently just a single secret word for every one of their records. Imagine having one key for every one of your locks. What amount simple will it move towards lowering the threat for a hacker to snoop your data? Truly, same is the situation with having one secret key for all.
Likewise, it is awfully easy for anybody to figure the security key inquiry. Because of the web-based social networking where you share all of what is occurring in your life. Any individual who can access your online networking records can without much of a stretch figure the response to the security question.
Also, here you are, thinking about how this can happen. To stay away from such upsetting episode, Two-Factor Authentication is commendable. 2FA includes an extra layer of security to your record. Likewise, it makes troublesome for the cybercriminals to get the second confirmation factor unless the individual is close to you. This results in impressively decreased opportunities to be effective.
How to use Two-factor authentication?
For your email account, when you sign in you have made a request to enter your username and secret word. Whereas in two-factor authentication, you are made a request to enter a code that you have gotten on your telephone. The essential purpose of Two-Factor Authentication is to shield your record from the digital violations. It lessens the misrepresentation and makes the life of web clients simple.
Another factor might be location and time. For instance, if you are logged into your account and on the other hand, somebody from another country tries to log in then the system will automatically block that individual.
How to enable Two-factor authentication on smartphones?
Smartphones have turned into the most utilized gadget for Two-Factor Authentication. It is anything but difficult to set up and check your personality by accepting Two-Factor Authentication code on your mobile phone by means of SMS or call. You can likewise create a code through a unique portable application.
SMS conveyance has a few advantages and disadvantages. It is anything but difficult to arrange and there is no need for a Smartphone to get the codes through SMS. Be that as it may, in the event that you travel every now and again the conveyance of SMS may get late. Not being in the system run is the explanation behind deferred in the conveyance.
Mobile security is likewise imperative in such manner. A hacker can clone the SIM card or may divert the activity to another number. You may likewise pass up a great opportunity SMS conveyances on the off chance that you have various records that have 2FA actuated. You can likewise make use of a portable application to get Two-Factor Authentication.
Your Apple ID holds installment points of interest and individual data as photographs and iMessages, so it just bodes well you secure it using two-factor authentication.
2FA (or verification as it's normally alluded to) includes an extra hindrance of security between would-be programmers and your record. The additional obstruction comes as a four-digit code, which will be sent to a gadget of your picking after you've entered your secret word.
1. To include the additional layer of security to your record you'll have to visit the Apple ID settings page on your PC and tap on "Manage your Apple ID." Log in to the record for which you wish to empower 2FA.
2. Tap on the "Password and Security" choice on the left half of the screen. At that point, you should see a "get started" connection to enable 2FA for your record. You're likely to tap on the connection, however, just on the off chance that you haven't, proceed – tap on it.
Your security inquiries will never again exist.
You will be the main individual ready to ask for a secret word reset.
You have to keep your Recovery Key in a protected place.
When you recognize you've perused the rules, you'll have to include a gadget (or gadgets) to your record, allowing consent to get the four-digit code required to access your record. In the event that you utilize one Apple ID for App Store buys, and another to get to iCloud administrations, you'll have to set up the App Store record to be SMS as it were.
4. You'll at that point be given your Recovery Key. This is a key snippet of data with regards to keeping your record secure. Record it, print it out, and take a screenshot of it to guarantee you don't lose it. Should you ever overlook your watchword, or lose an enrolled gadget, your Recovery Key will concede you access to your record.
To commute home how vital it is you record the key and store it someplace protected, subsequent to demonstrating to you your Recovery Key, Apple influences you to sort it in to check you have the correct key recorded. Also, no, you can't reorder the key from the past advance.
5. The last step of the procedure is once again to consent to the ramifications of enabling two-factor authentication for you.
Should you ever offer, supplant, or lose one of your enlisted gadgets, try the 2FA's solution as explained by Apple.
Gmail is a standout amongst the most imperative records that since it associates with numerous different applications, for example, Google drive, play store, photographs, archives, individual information, and else. It must be the primary record where you ought to actuate your two-advance check. Additionally, you are ought to stay mindful of the latest security choices that are presented by Gmail.
When you set up a two-factor authentication, you will get an instant message with a 6-digit code on your telephone number. It's a solitary time affirmation process. At whatever point you get to your record from the unrecognized gadget you have to enter the 6-digit code which you get on your telephone. It is useful to set up reinforcement telephones numbers and messages on the off chance that, your essential email or telephone isn't open you can utilize the second alternative.
You can likewise make reinforcement codes. They are 8 digits codes that you can keep and use it, on the off chance that you are an incessant voyager and you confront issues with the portable system or in the event that you can't utilize the Google authenticator versatile application. The code can be utilized once and for next time, another one.
Nonetheless, you can acquire codes through Google authenticator portable application. It is operatable on iPhone, Blackberry, Android. The in addition to point that you can utilize it without any information or telephone availability.
Two-factor confirmation is likewise accessible on Facebook. The 2FA was begun by Facebook in 2011. It is the security highlight in which you need to enter a six-digit code, each time when attempting to login into your Facebook account utilizing unrecognized gadget Facebook will request that you enter the security code which you get in your email or message.
To actuate the 2FA for a Facebook page Go to "Record Settings" tab under "Security".
A couple of years back Twitter presented login to check for abnormal state security. When you attempt to login to your Twitter account you have to enter a secret word and a code which you get an instant message on your telephone.
This confirmation procedure guarantees that you the approved individual getting to your record. On the off chance that you are utilizing a similar check telephone number for different records Twitter suggests empowering the confirmation method for each record.
We as a whole realize that LinkedIn is the biggest expert business related informal organization. To turn on the extra security layer for LinkedIn you have to enter your telephone number through which you will get a confirmation code each time you sign into LinkedIn from an unrecognized gadget.
Two-factor verification does not make your record 100% safe from digital culprits. It doesn't work like an enchantment that will make your information inaccessible yet it certainly makes it troublesome for attackers to rupture.
The most advantageous piece of Two-factor validation is that the hacker won't squander his chance of gaining access to your record rather he'll search for a record that has no 2FA. Notwithstanding, after at some point the two-factor confirmation technique will likewise turn into the digital criminal will discover better approaches for hacking. Till now, we prescribe you to utilize the Two-factor authentication for each of your accounts.

Franz Maria Alfred Graf von Harrach (* 26. Juli 1870 in Traunkirchen am Traunsee, Oberösterreich; † 14. Mai 1937 in Iglau, Tschechoslowakei) war k. u. k. Kämmerer, Adjutant des Thronfolgers der Monarchie Österreich-Ungarn Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand von Österreich-Este während seiner Bosnienreise 1914 und Augenzeuge des Attentats von Sarajevo.

Herkunft und Jugend
Franz Maria Alfred von Harrach war ein Sohn des Alfred Karl Graf von Harrach (* 9. Oktober 1831 in Prag; † 5. Januar 1914 in Sankt Jakobi) und dessen Ehefrau Prinzessin Anna von Lobkowicz (1847–1934), welcher seit 1867 als Großgrundbesitzer Eigentümer von Janowitz und Gründer der Alfredhütte war, auf dessen Gebiet sich ein Hüttenwerk, eine Drahtzieherei, Gießerei, Maschinenfabrik und die Brauereien in Janowitz und Römerstadt (Rymarov) in Mähren befinden; und ein Enkel des Franz Ernst von Harrach (* 13. Dezember 1799; † 26. Februar 1884 in Nizza), Groß-Industrieller im Bezirk Römerstadt, welcher den von seinem Vater begonnenen Umbau von Schloss Prugg an der Leitha vollendete.

Erbe der Alfred Karl Graf von Harrach'schen Glashütte in Janowitz, heute ein Ortsteil von Rymarov in Tschechien, war sein Sohn Otto Johann Graf von Harrach (* 10. Februar 1863 in Prag; † 10. September 1935 in Königgrätz), von 1910 bis 1918 Mitglied des Herrenhauses in Wien. Dessen jüngerer Bruder Graf Franz von Harrach (1870–1937), der letzte männliche Namensträger der Reichsgrafen von Harrach, wurde 1883 Erbe des Schlosses Velké Meziříčí (Meseritsch) in den Böhmisch-Mährischen Höhen.

Während des Kaisermanövers im September 1909 war in Meseritsch das Hauptquartier der Manöverleitung untergebracht. An dem Manöver nahmen neben Kaiser Franz Joseph I. auch der deutsche Kaiser Wilhelm II. und der Thronfolger von Österreich-Ungarn, Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand von Österreich-Este teil, die im Schloss Logis bezogen hatten. Hierbei entwickelte sich eine vertrauensvolle Beziehung zwischen Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand und Franz Maria Alfred Graf von Harrach. So kam es, dass Harrach den Thronfolger als dessen Adjutant im Juni 1914 zu k. u. k. Militärmanövern nach Bosnien begleitete.

Augenzeuge des Attentates von Sarajevo

Am Sonntag, dem 28. Juni 1914, stellte Harrach, als Mitglied des Freiwilligen Automobilkorps, Franz Ferdinand seinen sechssitzigen Doppel-Phaeton (28/32 PS) der Marke Gräf & Stift (mit dem Wiener Kennzeichen A-III-118) für die Fahrt durch Sarajevo zur Verfügung. Die geplante Fahrtstrecke führte vom "Defensionslager" der österreich-ungarischen Armee am Rande der Stadt zum Rathaus und von dort zum Konak von Sarajevo, dem Sitz des Gouverneurs von Bosnien und Herzegowina.

Auf einer Photographie, die in der Österreichischen Nationalbibliothek aufbewahrt wird, und in dem Buch des jugoslawischen Politikers und Historikers Vladimir Dedijer (1914–1990): Sarajevo 1914 (Prosvata Belgrad, 1. Ausgabe 1966) abgedruckt ist, sind die Teilnehmer der Fahrt vor der Abfahrt zum Rathaus in Sarajevo zu sehen: Franz Ferdinand und seine Gemahlin Sophie Chotek von Chotkowa, Herzogin von Hohenberg auf den Sitzen im Fond des Wagens, vor ihnen, auf einem Klappsitz, der Gouverneur Oskar Potiorek und der Adjutant Franz von Harrach. Vor ihnen saßen der Chauffeur Leopold Lojka und der Hofkammerbüchsenspanner Gustav Schneiberg, der eine Galauniform trug.

Auf der Hinfahrt zum Rathaus entlang des Appel-Kais, der Uferstraße des Miljacka-Flusses, verübte Nedeljko Čabrinović, ein Mitglied der Bewegung Narodna Odbrana und der Mlada Bosna, die unter Einfluss der serbischen Geheimorganisation Schwarze Hand stand, um 10:26 Uhr mit einer Wurfbombe einen ersten Anschlag auf den Thronfolger Franz Ferdinand und seine Gemahlin. Die Bombe verfehlte ihr Ziel, wohl aufgrund der geistesgegenwärtigen Reaktion des Chauffeurs Leopold Lojka, der, als er die Bombe durch die Luft auf sich zufliegen sah, den Wagen beschleunigte; ebenso aufgrund einer Reflexreaktion Franz Ferdinands, der die Bombe mit dem linken Arm abgelenkt habe, so dass sie zunächst auf das heruntergezogene Verdeck des Wagens fiel und dann auf die Straße rollte. Sie explodierte unter dem nachfolgenden Fahrzeug, wobei zwei Wageninsassen, Oberstleutnant Erich von Merizzi, Flügeladjutant des Landeschefs, und Graf Alexander von Boos zu Waldeck und Montfort, verletzt und das Fahrzeug durch die Explosion unbrauchbar wurde. Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand ließ seinen Wagen anhalten und Franz von Harrach nach den Verletzten sehen. Nachdem ihm dieser Meldung erstattet hatte, wurde der von einem Bombensplitter am Kopf verletzte Merizzi in das Garnisonsspital von Sarajevo gebracht. Wie die Neue Freie Presse am 29. Juni 1914 berichtete, soll Franz Ferdinand auf den Anschlag des Čabrinović mit den folgenden Worten reagiert haben: "Das war irgendein Irrer. Meine Herrschaften, fahren wir mit dem Programm fort."

Die Fahrt zum Rathaus wurde fortgesetzt, wobei sich Schneiberg auf das Trittbrett auf der linken Seite des Wagens stellte, um Franz Ferdinand "mit seinem Leibe zu decken". Später erhielt er in Anerkennung seines Verhaltens ausnahmsweise (weil nicht seinem Rang entsprechend) das Silberne Verdienstkreuz mit Krone und ein Geldgeschenk, worüber eine Aufzeichnung im HHStA Oberststallmeisteramt (Zl. 928/1914) existiert, die seinen lebensgefährlichen Einsatz besonders hervorhebt. Friedrich Würthle wurde vom gleichnamigen Sohn des Gustav Schneiberg auf diesen Umstand hingewiesen. Nach einem kurzen Aufenthalt im Rathaus von Sarajevo bestiegen Franz Ferdinand, seine Gemahlin Sophie Chotek von Chotkowa, Potiorek, Lojka und Harrach erneut den Wagen, um vom Rathaus entlang des Appel-Kais ins Garnisonskrankenhaus von Sarajevo zu fahren. Diesmal stellte sich Harrach auf das linke, der Uferpromenade zugewandte Trittbrett des Wagens, um mit seinem Körper einen Schutzschild für den Erzherzog zu bilden. Diese Sicherheitsmaßnahme konnte jedoch nicht verhindern, dass Gavrilo Princip, ebenfalls ein Mitglied von Mlada Bosna, wenige Minuten später an der Schillerecke auf der Höhe der Lateinerbrücke von der "ungedeckten", rechten Seite aus den zweiten, erfolgreichen Anschlag ausführte.

Nach dem Attentat überlieferte Franz von Harrach der Nachwelt die – mutmaßlichen – letzten Worte Franz Ferdinands in einem Brief. Das Batisttaschentuch, mit dem er Franz Ferdinands Blut von den Lippen abgewischt hatte, bewahrte er auf. Es soll heute im Schloss Velké Meziříčí in Tschechien zu sehen sein, wo Besucher des Museums "das erste im Ersten Weltkrieg vergossene Blut" betrachten können. In diesem Brief vom 3. Juli 1914, den Franz von Harrach an seine Frau Alice schickte, schilderte dieser den Hergang der Attentate aus seiner Sicht. Der Brief wurde am 2. Juli 2014 im Wiener Palais Dorotheum zur Versteigerung gebracht.

Die gerichtliche Untersuchung und der Prozess nach dem Attentat
In einem Prozess, der in den Monaten nach dem Juni 1914 gegen sechs Attentäter und deren Helfer in Sarajevo stattfand, war Franz von Harrach mit einer Eidesstattlichen Versicherung Belastungszeuge der Anklage. Harrach und die anderen höhergestellten Personen in der Begleitung des Thronfolgers wurden vom Untersuchungsrichter Leon Pfeffer nicht persönlich verhört. Er befragte nur Graf Alexander von Boos zu Waldeck, der bei Princips erfolgreichem, zweiten Attentat nicht mehr zugegen war, und die Chauffeure Leopold Lojka, Karl Divjak und Max Thiel. Die Insassen und die Chauffeure der ersten beiden Wagen der Wagenkolonne des Kronprinzenpaares, die nahe am Geschehen waren, wurden ebenfalls nicht vernommen. Es ist unbekannt, wer die Personen sind, die Sarajevo in der Nacht vom 28. auf den 29. Juni verließen, und wer sie befragt hat. Die eidesstattliche Erklärung des Franz Graf von Harrach und einiger anderen Zeugen erfolgten schriftlich. In diesen Vernehmungsprotokollen wird kein Vernehmungsbeamter angegeben.

Es ist unklar, wer den Gouverneur Oskar Potiorek befragt hat. Sein Einvernahmeprotokoll vom 28. Juni ist nicht gegengezeichnet. Der Historiker Friedrich Würthle billigt diesem Protokoll eher den Charakter eines Diktates als (den) einer Befragung durch eine Gerichtsperson zu. Den Zweck dieser Geheimhaltung sieht er darin, Potioreks verhängnisvolle Rolle bei der Wahl der Fahrroute durch Sarajevo zu kaschieren, denn dieser hatte die Änderung der Fahrtweges nicht an den Chauffeur Leopold Lojka weitergegeben, weswegen es zur Verwirrung beim Schillereck und der Ausführung der tödlichen Schüsse kam.

Für Harrachs Aussageprotokolle siehe Fußnote.

Nachwirkungen des Prozesses
In dem Ort Velké Meziříčí in dem gleichnamigen Schloss, dem Erbsitz des Franz Graf von Harrach, ist heute ein regionales Museum untergebracht, das seit 1893 in der schlossnahen Ortschaft Meziříčí entstand, wo es im Rathaus untergebracht war. Die historischen, ethnografischen und naturwissenschaftlichen Sammlungen des Museums wurden nach 1948 zur Zeit der Tschechoslowakei um das schlosseigene Mobiliar erweitert, als das Museum ins Schloss verlegt wurde. In Wien wurde jahrelang vor Gericht um die Besitzansprüche an Franz von Harrachs berühmtem Automobil, in welchem der Thronfolger der Monarchie Österreich-Ungarn und seine Gemahlin 1914 den Tod fanden, gestritten. Seine Nachkommen mussten es dem Heeresgeschichtlichen Museum in Wien überlassen, wo es bis heute besichtigt werden kann.

Ehen und Nachkommen
Franz Maria Alfred Graf von Harrach war dreimal verheiratet:
 In erster Ehe (geschlossen in Wien am 29. Mai 1895) mit Gabriele Gräfin von Khevenhüller-Metsch (* 15. November 1874 in Fronsburg/Niederösterreich; † 12. September 1896 in Baden bei Wien);
 In zweiter Ehe (geschlossen in Wien am 30. Juni 1902) mit Sarah Prinzessin zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst (* 4. Dezember 1880 in Ságh; † 10. Juni 1908 in Groß Meseritsch);
 In dritter Ehe (geschlossen in Seefeld am 1. Februar 1910) mit Alice Gräfin zu Hardegg auf Glatz und im Machlande (* 10. Juli 1879 in Groß-Harraß; † 10. Februar 1962 in Aschach).

Harrach in der medialen Rezeption des Attentats
In Fritz Kortners Film "Sarajewo. Um Thron und Liebe" (1955) wird Graf Harrach von Hans Unterkircher gespielt. Graf Harrach ist auf einigen Fotos vom Tag des Attentats sowie auf einigen Holzschnitten des Künstlers Hans Fronius von 1987 über die Ereignisse des Attentats zu sehen.

Rarely (if ever) do you see such a constant flow rate.
But only one has mermaids.
The Floridian aquifer discharges to the surface, at Weeki Wachee Spring, with little regard for the seasons. Winter, spring, summer and fall you can count on it to discharge at a rate of between 100 and 200 cubic feet per second. That's an incredibly steady flow rate in the world of hydrology. This particular spring has been running high for about the past year, but to the naked eye I would guess even that's hard to tell, unless you were scuba diving upstream (which in this case means "straight down") into the cavern from which the current flows, on a regular basis.
Sounds like a good question for the mermaids to me.


text:
Q: What is the difference between these two simplexml_load_file submissions PHP? One is working (the string url), and the other is giving me a invalid signature failure in Oauth.
$whaturl=$endpoint.'?'.$link_string.'&oauth_signature='.$signature;
$newVenueXML = simplexml_load_file($whaturl) or die ("Error: Cannot create object");

and
$newVenueXML = simplexml_load_file('http://api.eventful.com/rest/venues/new?address=1101%20Grand%20Ave&app_key=my_app_key&city=Grand%20Lake&country=United%20States&name=Sagebrush%20Barbecue%20and%20Grill&oauth_consumer_key=my_consumer_key&oauth_nonce=718522065&oauth_signature_method=HMAC-SHA1&oauth_timestamp=1474394973&oauth_token=my_token&oauth_version=1.0&postal_code=80447&region=Colorado&oauth_signature=nfOiJ1R7X%2Bw4d9I%2FY4duZ62TeFw%3D') or die ("Error: Cannot create object");

Where the components are all the same (i.e. the string is identical as far as I can tell using https://text-compare.com/). I must be missing something, because using the variable isn't working and the pure string is.
When I paste the $whaturl in the browser, I get the correct response.
Now, when I copy and paste the address bar from a correct submission, and then compare the two strings ($whaturl and the URL from the copy/paste of the address bar, $whaturl2), I see a difference when I echo the two variables where the &region= gets turned into ®ion= Is it possible that this same translation is taking place within the simplexml_load_file and therefore invalidating my $signature?
If so, any suggestions on how to handle this as I have escaped the &?

A: This was solved by using the http_build_query method and the & as the $arg_seperator.

The archive will be closing down due to lack of owner or thread staff that can run it. Thank you for supporting the thread while it was up, and I hope you found at least one new thread you liked.
After sifting through pages upon pages of user-made adoptables, and finding active as well as inactive threads, I felt it would be useful to be able to find threads quick and easy according to their type. If I want to adopt cats, I wouldn't want to go through every single page of the forum to find a suitable cat adoptable, just to find that I don't even like any of them! So the solution is to have an index of adoptable threads.
Please note that some threads may appear more than once in this index, if they fit in several of the categories, and locked adoptables may not be listed. The archive will only stretch as far back in the pages of the forum as threads have been active, meaning that once the next thread on the list last updated in 2015, I'll stop. In case someone goes active again, it will be added. Not all threads have been added yet as well!
If you see someone listed here, it means they help out the archive.
If you have any complaints about anyone, tell Delroyal and she'll get on it.
Want to help out the Archive? PM Delroyal for information on what you can help with!
It would be really helpful if you sent a PM to me (Delroyal) with a link to your thread(s) and with this form filled out. This will speed things along a little, but is not a requirement.
If you break a rule, you will be warned, and if you persist, you will be reported.
Moderators can do their job, and doing their job for them will be considered spamming. Being helpful and directing a user towards where they can find the answer to a question is not considered mini-modding.
No bullying, teasing or negativity directed at an individual. This includes negative feedback and critique.
Your thread is very well made! You may need to look over the organising, it would benefit from moving this to there instead. You could disable signatures to make it look professional and draw more members. You could look over the grammar and spelling of your thread, here's a good website that can help you with that.
Omg your thread is so cluttered! Clean it up before posting, duuh. Having signatures show that you're immature and not good enough to run a thread. umm, I can't even tell what you're writing? Like get it checked first, stupid.
If I've missed anything, spelled or done anything wrong, please do tell me! If your thread is not on any of the lists, or if you've changed thread, send me a PM and I'll fix it.

The first clear round in the jump-off would be produced by Wilhem Genn aboard BUGATTI in a time of 45.29. Genn's lead was short lived, however, as Mathis Schwentker (pictured to the left) rode next, jumping clean in a time of 43.07 aboard NKH CARUSO.
Nayel Nassar was next to go. With a victory already in the books from Thursday's $35,000 Coachella Welcome Stake, Nassar and LORDAN had their eyes on another victory, galloping to the last fence in attempt to take the lead. Nassar was shaken out of the saddle in the air, but managed to stay on through the timers before performing an emergency dismount. The dynamic duo would finish with a four fault time of 46.29 for fourth place.
Bond returned for the jump-off next, aboard her 14-year old chestnut mare CHELA LS. After a one-two finish in Saturday's $40,200 Coachella Classic, Bond's confidence was apparent as she entered the ring. A quick clean round in 41.86, more than a second faster than Schwentker, gave Bond a commanding lead with one rider left to show.
"I go out there and do what's right for her [CHELA LS]. We have been partners for a while now and I walk [the course], make a plan, and stick to it," Bond said. "She isn't one to touch the rails so that part of her makes my job easy, but when she is wild, crazy, and strong it works against me. Today, she was perfect."
Last to go in the jump-off was Uma O'Neill aboard CLOCKWISE OF GREENHILL Z, finishing with four faults in a time of 44.20 to claim seventh place.
Bond says her plan with CHELA LS is to continue through National Sunshine II for the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Qualifier, then show at [HITS] Thermal and [HITS] Ocala this winter. "I don't know if I'll go to World Cup Finals if I qualify. It's been an interesting year," Bond said. "I don't ride for anyone else but myself anymore," she exclaimed.

Background: To investigate the differences of perfusion in the optic nerve head (ONH) between normal and glaucomatous eyes using optical microangiography (OMAG) based optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography technique.
Methods: One eye from each subject was scanned with a 68 kHz Cirrus 5000 HD-OCT-based OMAG prototype system centered at the ONH (Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc, Dublin, CA, USA). Microvascular images were generated from the OMAG dataset by detecting the differences in OCT signal between consecutive B-scans. The pre-laminar layer (preLC) was isolated by a semi-automatic segmentation program. En face OMAG images for preLC were generated using signals with highest blood flow signal intensity. ONH perfusion was quantified as flux, vessel area density, and normalized flux within the ONH. Standard t-tests were performed to analyze the ONH perfusion differences between normal and glaucomatous eyes. Linear regression models were constructed to analyze the correlation between ONH perfusion and other clinical measurements.
Results: Twenty normal and 21 glaucoma subjects were enrolled. Glaucomatous eyes had significantly lower ONH perfusion in preLC in all three perfusion metrics compared to normal eyes (P≤0.0003). Significant correlations between ONH perfusion and disease severity as well as structural changes were detected in glaucomatous eyes (P≤0.012).
Conclusions: ONH perfusion detected by OMAG showed significant differences between glaucoma and normal controls and was significantly correlated with disease severity and structural defects in glaucomatous eyes. ONH perfusion measurement using OMAG may provide useful information for detection and monitoring of glaucoma.

Man, 31, dies in horror crash on Barrhead road as three passengers seriously injured
The 31-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while the passengers, aged 25, 26 and 31 all sustained serious injuries in the collision.
Laura FergusonJournalist
A 31-year-old man has died in a horror crash on a Barrhead road last night, while three passengers were left seriously injured.
The single-car crash occurred at around 9.50pm on Saturday (March 7) and involved a red Honda Civic.
The 31-year-old male driver was pronounced dead at the scene, while the passengers, aged 25, 26 and 31 all sustained serious but non life threatening injuries.

Police Scotland are now appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage of the crash to come forward to assist with their investigation.
Sergeant Michael McCusker, from the Greater Glasgow Road Policing Unit, said: "Our thoughts are with the deceased's loved ones at this time, along with others who were involved in this incident.
"As we continue our investigation, we're asking for anyone who was in the Glasgow Road area around the time of the crash to please get in touch, whether you saw it take place or may have seen the car a little earlier.
"We are also interested in seeing potential dashcam footage prior to the incident, which could greatly assist our enquiries."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101, quoting incident 3853 of March 7.


Today we're sharing some more tips for one of the best hot tub activities: conversation games. Conversation games require nothing but you and your friends. A fun atmosphere to chat and share is also a must, and the hot tub is the perfect place!
Last time we talked about Truth or Dare, Dealbreaker, and Never Have I Ever. Today, we're discussing more ideas for great conversation games you can use in your home jacuzzi!
If you're not sure how to play this one, just ask Jim from The Office. Each person has to share the three books, or movies, that they'd want to bring with them on a desert island. You'll get to see each person's priorities and most cherished favorites. It can also be fun to ask, which person would you like to be stranded on a desert island with?
Now, you don't have to use Kevin Bacon for this one, but he's a part of the game due to the idea that everyone on earth is connected by a chain of at most 6 people. Pick any two actors. See if you can connect them in 6 steps or less. For example, try connecting Frankie Muniz and Ben Affleck. Frankie Muniz was in Agent Cody Banks with Hilary Duff, who was in Cheaper by the Dozen with Bonnie Hunt, who was in Return to Me with Minnie Driver, who was in Good Will Hunting with Ben Affleck. Done! You can also play a variation where you connect actors through kissing: either celebrity couples, or movie matchups.
Think of a base word to start with, like "California" or "light." Then, go around in a circle. Each person has to think of a song that uses the word at some point. If they can't sing the exact line, they don't get the point!

Jean-Baptiste Santerre est un peintre français né à Magny-en-Vexin en  et mort à Paris le .

Biographie
Jean-Baptiste Santerre naquit à Magny-en-Vexin, fils d'André Santerre et de Madeleine Delespinay, douzième enfant d'une famille nombreuse et peu fortunée. Sa date de naissance et sa filiation ont souvent été confondues avec celles d'un lointain cousin né à Magny-en-Vexin le .

D'abord apprenti chez le portraitiste François Lemaire puis chez le peintre Bon Boullogne, il commence sa carrière comme portraitiste et son portrait de Michel-Richard de Lalande, surintendant de la musique du Roi, sera interprété en gravure par Simon Thomassin.

Œuvre
Après ses portraits, il acquit une grande réputation grâce à ses figures de fantaisie féminines, dont les thèmes sont souvent issus des modèles nordiques : cuisinières, brodeuse, femmes à la lettre, femme endormie, rêvant ou dessinant. Sa toile la plus célèbre est sans doute Suzanne au bain, conservée au musée du Louvre, à Paris. Morceau de réception de l'artiste à l'Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture remis le , elle constitue une bonne illustration du raffinement de l'artiste. Si ses peintures religieuses manquaient d'inspiration, sa Suzanne n'était pas dépourvue d'érotisme, ce qui fait de Santerre, surnommé le « Corrège français », le précurseur de François Boucher (1730-1770) et de Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732-1806).

Farouche partisan du dogme de l'anomphalie, il termine le  son ultime tableau Adam et Ève au milieu du paradis terrestre qui fit scandale, non seulement par le fait que les visages sont ceux du duc d'Orléans (1674-1723) et sa maîtresse d'alors, Marie-Madeleine de La Vieuville, marquise de Parabère, mais surtout parce qu'il força le réalisme anatomique, et que, selon ses propres dires, . Le tableau de Santerre passa en vente en 1776 et fut acheté par le financier Nicolas Beaujon, pour la somme considérable pour l'époque de  livres. Une traduction en gravure fut exécutée en 1779 par François-Anne David.

From POWs to Men Left Behind: Everything involves Politics
Carolyn Elkins Send an email June 9, 2014
"This is a historic moment for us. Today our enemy for the first time officially recognized our status… It's better to kidnap one person like Bergdahl than kidnapping hundreds of useless people… It has encouraged our people. Now everybody will work hard to capture such an important bird." ~Taliban Commander
For all of the scandals that have come out of the Obama administration including trading five high risk terrorists during a time when we are still at war for a soldier who's platoon mates have said he deserted them- of course all talk seems political, no matter what side it's coming from.
The Obama administrations actions or inactions of everything from Fast and Furious, spiking the football after Bin Laden's death, Extortion 17, the so called Arab spring, Benghazi and now more terrorists released is political, because if any other administration (especially one with an (R) after it) had done all of this, plus blatant lawlessness, they'd have faced impeachment and or treason charges brought long before now, and rightfully so.
To Democrats and the Obama administration however, running guns to Mexico and perjuring yourself when asked about it, was Bush's fault because "he started it." Incidentally, it's been three and a half years since Border Agent Brian Terry's murder and his family still waits for answers from Obama and Holder. Is it political? To those on the left it is, because they have an agenda to push on gun control and illegal immigration. The fact is that some on the right have been keeping this story alive keeps a spot light on the hypocrisy of running guns to Mexican drug cartels to push anti 2nd Amendment gun control laws in the US.
When Osama Bin Laden was taken out, Obama announced to the world that he in fact got the deed done that Bush never accomplished. His boasting was all about him, and that was evident when he gave sensitive documents to Hollywood producer friends to make a movie. The fact is that both Obama and Joe Biden outed SEAL Team 6 as the team who did the job, thereby putting each Team member in extreme danger. Unfortunately for nearly half of the Team, their fears became reality as they died in a helicopter crash, known as Extortion 17 in Afghanistan on August 6, 2011, just a few months after the raid on the OBL compound in Pakistan. Is this political? Ask the families of those heroes who knew their Commander in Chief put a target on them, and who are still waiting for answers to serious questions concerning the circumstances around the 'accident'.
Ah, spring time in the Arab states. What could be better- especially when you're a Sunni Muslim knowing the President of the Great Satan has your six. What happened and is still happening in the Middle East from the Arab Spring has not been so political, as many in both political parties in the US have blinders on when it comes to Islam. Of course there are a few who dared to ask questions about the unusually high number of Muslims with ties to the Muslim brotherhood in our government, but those who did were ripped to shreds for it and the political winds continue to favor Islam. But have the events in the Middle East been political? Well, since Bush Lied and People Died– and Obama has Put more Boots on the Ground and Drones in the Skies, you tell me. Not to mention the displacement, beatings, kidnappings and deaths of thousands of Christians and Shia Muslims because of regime changes supported and propped up by Sunni Muslim supporters Obama, Clinton & Company.
This leads to thoughts about one of the most politicized (so far) incident so far from this Administration- Benghazi.
Many folks have written extensively about the events that led up to, happened during and after the attacks in Benghazi, and a handful of republicans have been working on getting the Select Committee to ask serious questions which have yet to be answered. Democrats have been quick to label this as being politicized by republicans, and many progressives have, instead of answering legitimate questions, turn around and ask why there were no inquiries when Consulate and Embassies were attacked under Bush. So yes it's political, because serious questions still have no answers as to why a US Ambassador was in Benghazi to begin with, why CIA was in Benghazi to begin with, why the immediate cover up, which began as the attacks were happening. Why blame it on something that wasn't true, why talking points were changed as the attack was happening- why was Obama talking about You Tube while 2 Navy SEALs were fighting to their deaths with no help? Why the lie was perpetuated for weeks afterwards, and why did the Obama administration apologize to Muslims when Muslims murdered the US Ambassador, his aide and 2 Navy SEALs?
It's political because democrats lied about it from the start, continued to cover up and have never seriously attempted to hold anyone accountable. Republicans have been painted as 'witch hunt(ers)' and creating phony scandals. So yeah, I guess it just may be a bit political. Too bad for parents like Pat Smith and Charles Woods and the other family members, especially when they had their time to testify before the committee during hearings and every democrat there got up and left.
I was reminded of this a few days ago by an online friend, from one of the blogs I read on occasion. "Obama Sympathizes with America's Enemies – At a time when we need a leader who puts America first, we instead get an occupant who puts everyone but America first. If Obama won't put America first, then we need to put America first by rejecting his policies and fighting for those that put America first." From Daniel Greenfield at Sultan Kish Blog in January 2009
Unfortunately not only was the sympathizer reelected because people didn't have a clue about Benghazi, or believed the mainstream Obama media claims that republicans were just being petty and political, but since 2009, the Administration has done more damage to our nation, to our military and sided with, given aid and comfort to, and chosen sides with sworn enemies or those with ties to enemies of the United States, and neither House has done anything about it.
This brings me to this situation with Bowe Bergdahl and the Taliban trade. I will go into more detail on these points in following articles, but for now, to recap a few points that people may be aware of, but maybe have not quite really thought about.
Obama campaigned on closing Gitmo. The fact that Gitmo still houses terrorists has been a thorn in the administrations' side from the get go, and Obama, Holder and progressive lawyers have been scrambling for 5 years to get them either released or charged in civilian courts, since day one. Most Americans at least have enough sense to not want terrorists tried in court in their cities, nor do they want terrorists who were caught on the battlefields of war housed in prisons in the US. Most Americans still have enough sense to know that during a time of war, one does not try war criminals in a civilian court.
So there has to be another way. Obama has had 5 years to work on a release or re capture Bowe Bergdahl from his captors. This war, on whatever you want to call it, is a Holy War in the eyes of those who have waged it on us. They have displayed their hatred and ideological contempt not just on fellow Muslims and Christians all over the world, but especially for Israel and the United States. They have beheaded and dragged Americans through city streets burned their bodies and hung them from a bridge for all to see. They have taken Americans hostage before; they will not hesitate to do it again. While not all American Hostages have met the same fate as Daniel Pearl and others, the fact is, those who have been rescued most likely would have met the same fate- unless there was a deal made behind the scenes, as this case with Bowe Bergdahl may have been.
The Administration had legitimate chances before, months and years, to get Bowe back, but didn't. Now due to vague claims about his health, rumors that he'd be murdered (which by all accounts would have happened the day he was found, if his capture had have been a legitimate capture) all of a sudden, in a rush to do something, without the 30 day required Congressional approval, the DOD instead consulted with the DOJ. The day Special Forces went by helicopter to meet with the Taliban to get him, could have been a deadly day- and while I thank God things turned out the way they did, the fact is, using a helicopter to fly into a Taliban held spot, when they could have shot them down as they have before, makes me furious that Obama put our forces in such a heightened dangerous position.
This seems more like a politically motivated stunt, just as Obama has done before, to take the focus off the latest issues, which are the atrocious and despicable acts by some in the VA concerning Veterans and the fact that when Obama went to Afghanistan for a 'surprise' visit to our troops, which only lasted a few hours, the CIAs Kabul, Afghanistan Station Chief was outed to the press.
This stunt has given aid and comfort to the enemy, as the quote at the top of this article was given by a Taliban commander to a TIME reporter shows. Not all see it this way however, as Secretary of State John "I Served in Vietnam" Kerry had this to say to CNN when asked about threats to our troops:
"First of all, propaganda is propaganda, and they'll say whatever they want to stir the waters so people should not be lured in by their propaganda number one. Number two, we are ending our combat role. Our combat role in Afghanistan is over. We're going to have very few people in that kind of position on occasion… where… But I, I honestly, I just think that's a lot of baloney, truthfully. And to whatever degree it may be true, they will wind up putting themselves at the mercy of those people who are very effective, who are there, who will deal with those matters."
It may very well be propaganda, but there are a few facts that Kerry doesn't want to admit here. First of all, they will say whatever they want- but the Obama administration gave them that right when they gave them 5 of their commanders back during a time of war; which the Obama administration claim is over. I seem to recall another claim- something about Al Qaida being on the run and no longer a threat. Excuse me, Mr. Secretary; tell that to the people in Iraq who are suffering the most attacks since the lead up to the surge in Iraq- you know, the surge many democrats said would never work. Thanks to the Obama Administration announcing the draw down and claiming the end of that war, terrorists have retaken cities that our Troops had liberated for the Iraqi people; cities that our troops died to liberate.
This war is not over. The Obama administration and our government can claim that as much as they want to, but it's not over to those who started it. Not by a long shot. Thanks to the actions of this Administration once again, they have put Americans- our military and civilians, at risk for more attacks, and politics should have nothing to do with that.

Unconscionable Act of Treachery Committed by our President


These five 25 metre diameter by 25 ring silos are the largest steel grain storage silos in the port of Dar es Salaam. They tower 37 metres above ground and can clearly be seen when landing at the international airport. Each silo has a cubic volume of 15,500M3 give a storage capacity of over 12,000 tonnes of wheat. The silos were fitted with high capacity sweep augers; not only do they have to trim the silos at a high rate but also need to allow the very high gravity discharge rate. The catwalks are 2.5 metres wide, specially engineered to take the high loads from the 1,200 tph conveyors feeding them. The piggy-backed conveyers are so large that we added a conveyor drive access platform 2 metres above the main catwalk.


Queens Chamber of Commerce President Tom Grech is a strong proponent of the LaGuardia Airtrain, which he says will be a good economic and transportation boost for the area.
A Better Way to LGA represents community members, economic development groups, transportation advocates, unionized labor, civic stakeholders, and local business leaders who believe it is essential for New York's future to have a fast and reliable transit alternative for LaGuardia Airport travelers and workers.
More than a dozen organizations joined together to announce the launch of A Better Way to LGA, a new coalition in support of Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed AirTrain to LaGuardia Airport (AirTrain LGA). The coalition is comprised of community members, economic development groups, transportation advocates, unionized labor, civic stakeholders, and local business leaders, and is co-chaired by the Queens Chamber of Commerce, the Association for a Better New York, and the New York Building Congress.
The Port Authority submitted a series of analyses to the FAA, which will oversee the AirTrain's environmental review. A Better Way to LGA believes that AirTrain LGA is a critical component of the overall redevelopment efforts taking place at LaGuardia. The next step is an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on the AirTrain. A Better Way to LGA calls on the EIS process to be completed by Q4 of 2019.
LaGuardia is the only major East Coast airport without a direct rail connection, and this has negative repercussions for surrounding neighborhoods and the City writ large. Traffic from the Grand Central Parkway and adjacent roads has inundated the entire community and crippled its ability to get around.
AirTrain LGA will connect with public transportation at Willets Point, relieving congestion at LaGuardia. Willets Point Station will be modernized, made accessible to people with disabilities, and designed for travelers with luggage, providing a seamless transition to AirTrain LGA Passengers traveling from Manhattan would reach Willets Point in 16 minutes on the Long Island Railroad, with direct, non-stop service from Penn Station (as well as Grand Central Station pending the completion of the East Side Access project). From Willets Point, it's just six minutes to the airport. Alternatively, passengers can take the 7 Line Subway and transfer at Willets Point.
"The proposed AirTrain LGA would make the dream of a 30-minute ride from Midtown Manhattan to LaGuardia a reality," said Angela Pinsky, Executive Director of the Association for a Better New York.

Q: Incorrect vtable layout for class exported by DLL: request for clarification regarding headers and vtable construction Although the problem at hand is solved, it has me a little confused as to what data is used to construct the vtables for a class and where the layout for the vtable is stored. If anyone can provide clarification or point me towards some information which might satiate my curiosity, I would greatly appreciate it.
Background

*

*Two separate VC6.0 projects: one for an exe, one for a dll.

*Application contains .lib, .dll and .h files from dll project releases.

*When a new release is ready, the .lib, .dll, and .h files are copied into the exe project from the dll project.

*I have inherited this scheme.
Problem:
I recently made a changes to the DLL and copied over the .lib and .dll but forgot to copy the header files. There had been some hierarchy changes and, as a result, the vtable for one particular class (call it InternalClass) had changed.
The exe does not directly invoke any methods on InternalClass. Instead, it creates an instance of a different class (call it InterfaceClass) which encapsulates a pointer to an InternalClass object and invokes various methods against that pointer.
At runtime, calls made from within InterfaceClass methods to InternalClass methods were actually invoking the wrong methods (i.e. InterfaceClass would invoke InternalClass::A and InternalClass::B would actually run). Looking at the asm, it turns out that the fixup or thunk (I'm sorry if this is the wrong jargon!) was using the correct offset into the vtable. However, the vtable itself contained the list of pointers you would expect from the old header files.
Actual Question:
I realized my mistake, copied the header files over, recompiled and all was well. However, I am left with one nagging question:
When is the layout for the vtables determined and what information is used to construct the vtable for these classes at runtime? That is, it seems to me that the proper vtable must have been assembled when the dll was compiled so that the offsets, etc could be used for the calls from InterfaceClass to InternalClass. Why, then, was an outdated vtable used at runtime? Is the layout also determined separately when the exe is compiled using the headers it has?
I'm not sure if this is at all clear. Let me know if what I'm asking is too convoluted. Thanks!

A: Hmm, heavy duty implementation details of a 12 year old compiler.  When you use __declspec(dllexport) on a class, the linker exports the members of the class.  Not the vtable.  That gets reconstructed in the client of the class when the compiler parses the class declaration in the header file.  The linker fills in that local vtable with the exported members addresses.
Would it work better if the compiler simply exported the vtable from the DLL?  Maybe, but exporting such implementation details is awfully brittle.  The fear of painting yourself into a corner that you cannot get out of because of backwards compatibility is a strong motivator, I imagine.

A: The way your describe the interaction of those two classes isn't totally clear on one very important detail: Is your so called InternalClass being exported from the dll or not? Or to put the question a different way: Does the code in those copied header files use pointers to InternalClass or is all knowledge of that class hidden solely within the dll?
If that class in question actually is completely hidden within the dll, then I'm not sure how this problem could happen. But from what you describe, it really sounds as if InternalClass is being exposed by the dll.
If those headers that get copied over contain code similar in concept to this:
class InterfaceClass
{
    InternalClass* Internal;

    void DoSomething()
    {
        Internal->DoSomething();
    }
};

Then the InternalClass must be exposed, otherwise the exe's project would fail to compile the header. (So it's not really internal after all.)
And if that is the case, then it easily explains your problem. The exe is being built against a different declaration of InternalClass than the dll was built with. That means each compiles their own version of the virtual table, and those versions are different.
Then at runtime, the exe code is handed an object created from within the dll, and thus with its vtable pointer pointing to the dll's version of the vtable. The exe code then tries to work through that vtable pointer as if it pointed to the exe's version of the vtable. And obviously that causes problems.


Working on a WordPress theme while listening to Dan Benjamin and Merlin Mann. An awesome way to end the weekend.
Just a simple two-column theme that supports 6 post formats (video, image, gallery, status, aside, and standard). Here's a sneak peek.
Nice. Twenty Ten child theme? What are asides going to look like?
Standalone theme actually as I found it easier to work with. Still working on asides but I think I'm going with something like this for the Status format.
Oh la la. I can't wait to see it.

December 8, 1929 was a Sunday and it was the 342nd day of the year 1929. It was the 49th Sunday of that year. The next time you can reuse your old 1929 calendar will be in 2030. Both calendars will be exactly the same! This is assuming you are not interested in the dates for Easter and other irregular holidays that are based on a lunisolar calendar.
If a dog named Eenie - a Skye Terrier breed, was born on the same date as you then it will be 392 dog years old today. A dog's first human year is equal to 15 dog years. Dogs age differently depending on breed and size. When you reach the age of 6 Eenie will be 40 dog years old. From that point forward a small-sized dog like Eenie will age 4 dog years for every human year.

Sapsis Installs Pennsylvania Arrest System
Sapsis Rigging recently completed a fall arrest system for the Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC) in Philadelphia. The system was put into the Grand Hall, the renovated Reading Terminal Trainshed which is used for parties and events as well as larger exhibitions. Fall arrest was needed because there is not a great deal of lighting in the hall and when more is added there is lot of rigging to get those lights hung.
"We installed a fall arrest system for 44 purlins and five main arches," said Allison Helms, safety coordinator. This entailed 44 horizontal lifelines, eight self-retracting vertical lifelines, and five arched lifelines. The installation was completed in 11 days in March.
The biggest challenge of the project was the historic building itself, said Mike Yocum, project manager for Sapsis Rigging, who was in charge of the installation."Virtually every location on the steel where we put an anchor in for the lifelines is different in size or thickness. In addition there is the fact that when the whole building was restored, some repairs were done to the steel, which increased the size of steel in some areas."

The 2018 Nissan Leaf had its Middle East debut at the Expo 2020 Dubai site on 12 November, 2017. Just two days later, Nissan had put it on display at the 2017 Dubai Motor Show.
The 2018 Nissan Leaf is the second generation of the world's best-selling electric car. Nissan has completely redesigned the EV's design with inputs from the Nissan IDS Concept and its latest production models. Sleek LED headlamps with a floating boomerang signature, V-motion grille featuring a clear-blue 3D mesh pattern with a "freezing" motif inside it, a signature floating, two-tone roof, 17-inch aero design wheels, diffuser-style rear bumper with blue highlights and LED rear combination lamps are some of the 2018 Nissan Leaf's noteworthy exterior elements.
Inside, the car looks even more conventional and closer to other Nissan models now. Flat-bottomed steering wheel, 7-inch full-colour driver information display, 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and blue stitching in the seats are the highlights here.
Nissan has increased driving comfort with the addition of e-Pedal technology, which lets drivers start, accelerate, decelerate and stop by increasing/decreasing the pressure applied to the accelerator. Parking the car is now more convenient, thanks to ProPILOT Park, which controls every operation required for parking, including acceleration, braking, shifting, turning the steering wheel and applying the parking brake. The redesigned Leaf features ProPILOT single-lane autonomous driving technology for highway usage as well.
The 2018 Nissan Leaf is powered by the new EM57 electric motor that generates 150 PS and 320 Nm of torque. A 40 kWh battery pack is standard. It takes 16 hours using a 3 kW charger/8 hours using a 6 kW charger to fully charge the battery pack. Using a quick charger, though, the charging time from alert to 80% battery capacity takes only 40 minutes. The second-gen Nissan Leaf's has a driving range (JC08 test cycle) of 400 km.
