Malaysia's Belt and Road About-Face
Zainab Zaheer
Development Consultant
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's government announced on April 12th that the country will once again start work on the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), a multi-billion-dollar project that is part of China's vast Belt and Road Initiative. Less than a year prior, Prime Minister Mohamad had cited the project's cost of construction as a major threat to Malaysia's security, claiming, according to Al Jazeera, that it would leave the country indebted for a generation. Now, after lengthy negotiations with the China Communications Construction Company (CCCC), as well as the Chinese government, the cost has been reduced by a third, from almost $16 bn to just under $11 bn. Malaysia Rail Link Sdn. signed the agreement, which covered engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning aspects. The decision does not come out of the blue, however. In January 2018, Prime Minister Mahathir revealed that the decision to pull out of the project had not been made final and that negotiations were underway.
The approximately 700 km-long high-speed railway line is set to run along Peninsular Malaysia's less-developed east coast, connecting it to a major port near the capital Kuala Luampur. Construction was halted shortly after Prime Minister Mohamad won his office due to costs ballooning as the project took shape, with estimates initially showing that it could cost up to 81 billion ringgit. Concern also centred around a perceived lack of transparency. At the time, analysts assumed Mohamad's decision to block ECRL and other BRI projects, which he called "unequal treaties," was a way of pushing back against Beijing, but this new announcement sheds only positive light on China.
It demonstrates that China is willing to listen to and address the concerns of BRI member states – an image at odds with the ominous picture painted by Washington, accusing China of "debt trap diplomacy." Benny Kung of the Nikkei Asian Review says "The Belt & Road Initiative is a geopolitical strategy promoted by Chinese President Xi Jinping with the intention of deepening Beijing's economic and political ties with a large number of countries across Asia, Europe and Africa." Malaysia's decision to resume the ECRL also shows, according to Tom Fowdy, that China is willing to cater to member states' broader national interests, showing considerable flexibility. Despite the high costs, many countries continue to see BRI projects as beneficial to their economies.
For China, this agreement signifies a strengthening of the BRI, which has seen, according to Bloomberg, governments from Myanmar to Maldives reassessing their investments "amid concerns over sovereignty and large borrowings." Even where Chinese projects have been successfully implemented, such as in Greece, political reception has been mixed. The Greeks welcomed Chinese investment but pushed back against environmental and labour practices employed by Chinese companies. Saibal Dasgupta of the Times of India says China has agreed to the 30% price reduction in Malaysia because it is "desperate to present a strong global infrastructure programme at the Belt and Road Forum" later this month. For Malaysia, this reinstatement of the ECRL means that ties with China remain strong, an essential move for the smaller country, as China is not only Malaysia's biggest trade partner, but also able to affect Malaysian interests in the South China Sea. "We are pleased to see both sides finally reach a solution through friendly consultation… China has been advocating the principles of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits," said Foreign Minister Lu Kang.
Moving forward, it would not be farfetched for several other smaller economies like Pakistan to consider the possibility of getting price cuts from China on their costly BRI projects, especially as inflation rises and puts pressure on the economy. Chinese officials have stated that there is no fixed formula to their negotiations with BRI member states, and that their intention is to realize shared benefits for both China and the more than 100 partnering countries. If this is true, China may get caught up in a series of discussions around discounting the BRI as each member state brings forth their case, now that precedent has been set with Malaysia. According to Andrew Polk, "Chinese regulators realize they need to be pragmatic if these projects are to be successful, especially where there is local pushback on political and societal levels."

Danish Optimist champion, Christian Spodsberg, has returned to Bermuda this week to defend his RenaissanceRe Junior Gold Cup title sailed in Optimist dinghies. Since his victory last October, Spodsberg has continued to rack up an impressive record which includes an 8th place finish at the IODA World Championships, a 2nd at the Lake Garda Meeting and a victory at the Danish National Championships. It won't be an easy sail for Spodsberg as he finds himself in a competitive field of 45 local and foreign sailors. The foreign contingent consists of 16 sailors invited from 14 countries and includes the National Champions from Argentina, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden. The sailors from the British Virgin Islands, Holland, New Zealand, Poland, Spain and U.S. Virgin Islands also have impressive resumes which is necessary criteria to warrant the coveted invite from their national authorities to come to Bermuda. Four of the invited sailors are also female.
The Bermuda Optimist fleet benefits greatly from the influx of top sailing talent. For the local sailors aged 10 to 15, the regatta provides world- class competition in their home waters, an experience usually found only by traveling to a continental IODA event. The regatta allows Bermuda's young sailors to instantly see where they sit on the international stage. Local coaches have an eye on a number of Bermuda sailors expected to give the invited guests a run for their money including RBYC veteran Campbell Patton and Bermuda National Champion Tayte Stefaniuk from the RHADC.
RenaissanceRe has generously sponsored this event for the last twelve years, providing financial support to assist with airfares for the invited international sailors, providing them with charter boats, on-the-water coaching and equipment required for competition. The visiting sailors stay with local sailing families, another important aspect of this unique experience.
Twelve races are scheduled to be sailed from Thursday October 8th through Sunday, October 11th, mostly in the Great Sound. The final race will be sailed in Hamilton Harbour on the Argo Group Gold Cup course just prior to the finals in front of the large spectator fleet.
The RenaissanceRe Junior Gold Cup, now in its 13th year, has become a critical pathway for Bermuda's Optimist sailors seeking international competition and top level experience. The regatta brings the world's best Opti sailors to their doorstep and allows the local sailors to instantly see where they sit on the world stage. The RenRe Junior Gold Cup has become the breeding ground for local match race sailors both in Bermuda and overseas. This includes 2014 World Match Race Champion Taylor Canfield, who got his first taste of match race sailing while in Bermuda attending the Junior Gold Cup from USVI.
RenaissanceRe has kindly sponsored this event since its inception, providing the support to assist with airfares for the international youth sailors and providing them with charter boats, on-the-water coaching and equip- ment required for competition. The visiting sailors stay with the local families of our youth sailors which is another important aspect of this unique experience. For the local sailors aged nine to 15, the regatta provides world- class competition in their home waters, an experience usually found only by traveling to a continental IODA event.

Traditional dance and folk with a modern twist: the Altéide Quintet brings you closer to music from the 20th century. E.g. the Danish Carl Nielsen, who used plain folk themes and old English folk songs as a source of inspiration. Malcolm Arnold also based his work on old English shanties, as often sung by seamen. Dance music is presented by a.o. the French Henri Tomasi. With five different dance performances, he shows the most minimal music as well as complex rhythm and metric. Five brass players conclude with festive tunes by jazz musician Paquito D'Rivera: swinging, jazzy, and tropical.


Anthony Iannucci is an audio engineer and the owner of Unity Gain Recording Studio and Recording Institute in Fort Myers, Florida.
If you've heard of AC/DC, Santana, The Beach Boys, Mountain and Blood Sweat and Tears then you may have heard of Anthony Iannucci because he has recorded members of all those bands. From his professionally designed multi-room studio Unity Gain Studios on Florida's gulf coast he spends all of his time capturing pure audio from his outstanding collection of high-end microphones on his multiple DAWs.
He also is the owner of The Unity Gain Recording Institute, a Florida state licensed school, where he teaches The Audio Recording Comprehensive Program and Advanced Techniques in Critical Listening. Unity Gain is also one the few schools in the USA sanctions to offer certification in WAVES plugins. Anthony also runs an Apple Authorized Training Center where he offers Logic Pro certification.
Mr. Lannucci does a great job of capturing the nuances involved with recording piano. While the course relies mainly on a Grand Piano, his knowledge of acoustics, performance, and software can be applied to any piano type. Especially helpful was his instructions for multiple mic techniques.
Great tutorial on piano mic selection and placement, and mastering piano recordings. Leans heavily on Waves plugins, which, while very good, lean a bit pricey - ideas all valid with whatever you use.
Really good tutorial. The Waves plugins explanations are very, very useful, as well as the editing tips. The separation of chapters and lessons comes in handy, as you can quickly come back and remember something, or learn a specific lesson. I only wished it would be a deeper tutorial as far as A-B comparisons, more sound examples, and so forth, as opposed to an explanation of what happened, and not why it happened how it happened. It's more of a Waves plugins tutorial (which is useful too) and less of a piano recording tutorial.


I was discussing the Busch Stadium squirrel (some call him Stan the Squirrel, however I prefer the nickname "Buschy") with a Phillies fan on Thursday. He let it be known that the Phillies' experience with Buschy had left him hating the adorable woodland creatures. I laughed and told him he'd better hope the Cards don't defeat the Brewers in the NLCS or there's bound to be all manner of Squirrel Series talk.
When we finished our conversation, I hopped on Photoshop and started making my own Squirrel Series logo. I was about halfway through when I realized what I'd done.
I'd jinxed my beloved Cardinals.

Biodiversity hypothesis called into question
by University of Geneva
Aquatic organisms -- and terrestrial ones -- that do best when there is lots of food also do best when there is very little. Credit: DTU/ Erik Selander
Biologists have long considered the origins and continued coexistence of the immense diversity of species found in our environment. How can we explain the fact that no single species predominates? A generally accepted hypothesis is that there are trade-offs, which means that no organism can do best in all conditions. One trade-off that is commonly assumed is that between gleaner organisms —which are able to acquire and consume more food than other species when resources are scarce—and exploiters, which rapidly consume large quantities of the same resources when they are in abundance.
However, when scientists from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) analyzed the consumption of food resources of over 500 terrestrial and aquatic species, they showed that organisms that are efficient when there are low quantities of food, are also best when food resources are abundant. Consequently, biodiversity cannot be explained as a trade-off between gleaners and exploiters. Instead, the idea of risk taking to obtain food needs to be considered, as explained in this PNAS publication.
Dealing with trade-offs is one of the challenges organisms faces when they have to gain the energy needed to grow, defend themselves and reproduce. "If there were no trade-offs, the species that is the most effective in all conditions would come out on top," begins Mridul Thomas, senior research and teaching assistant in the Department F.-A. Forel for Environmental and Aquatic Sciences in UNIGE's Faculty of Sciences and the study's second author. "These trade-offs—and variations in environmental conditions—help explain why species are different and why we have diversity. No species can be best in all conditions."
Indeed, there is wide agreement in the scientific community that biodiversity can be explained partly through the gleaner-exploiter trade-off, which arises from the need to invest in both acquiring food and in quickly extracting energy and nutrients from it. Scientists expect organisms living in low-food environments to be gleaners that can quickly search for resources over large areas. Conversely, organisms living in food-rich environments are exploiters that consume resources in abundance and at great speed. Both these strategies can result in success depending on the environmental conditions encountered. And if the food availability changes through time or across space, it can allow competing gleaners and exploiters to co-exist, leading to diversity.
No gleaner-exploiter trade-off in nature
"Although it's taught commonly and is found in text books, there's little experimental evidence for the gleaner-exploiter trade-off," says Mridul. This is exactly the subject that Thomas Kiørboe, professor at the National Institute of Aquatic Resources at DTU—and first author of the study—decided to investigate. In an attempt to provide an answer, Professor Kiørboe has been collecting data found in the scientific literature on the food consumption of hundreds of species, derived from estimates from organisms ranging from single cells to large mammals living both in terrestrial and aquatic environments.
This immense collection of data has made it possible to analyze the speed at which over 500 species acquire and consume food. "For each species, such as a spider, scientists measured how fast it was able to capture and eat food, and they did this when food was abundant and when it was rare. Thanks to this valuable work by many scientists for hundreds of species, we were able to compare this across many organisms," continues Mridul. Curves of the speed of consumption as a function of the abundance of food are derived from this data, making it possible to describe the performance of the organisms in both low and high food conditions. "A negative correlation is expected from the gleaner-exploiter trade-off, but our results show a positive relationship", a clear indication, according to the biologist, that the gleaner-exploiter trade-off does not exist. Kiørboe and Mridul have demonstrated that species that perform well in an environment where energy resources are scarce are also the best in a rich environment.
Unexplained biodiversity
However, the researchers' interpretation does not call the concept of trade-offs into question. "Without trade-offs, it is very hard to maintain diversity. Our research does not explain biodiversity, but it does overturn an existing theory about precisely why we have biodiversity," says Mridul. Accordingly, there should be another trade-off: "A trade-off about risk-taking to access food is more likely, and would be consistent with our results. For instance, an organism may be better at getting food whether food is scarce or abundant because it takes more risks. Getting more food is generally good because it helps organisms grow and reproduce. But if in searching for food the organism gets eaten itself, it cannot reproduce. So it can sometimes be good to avoid taking these risks even if it means getting less food —which would explain why we see in our study that some species seem very good at getting food and some very bad at it."
Whatever this other trade-off is, the Danish-Swiss study fundamentally changes an important idea about why we have biodiversity that is still being taught and has been taken for granted. It follows that our understanding of ecosystems must be revisited, since this knowledge is essential in the face of the environmental upheavals we are witnessing today.

Seriously? OMG! WTF?Ellen Pompeo recreates the Beyonce photoshoot with Camilla Luddington - Seriously? OMG! WTF?
Camilla Luddington is pregnant with her first child at the same time Beyonce is pregnant with second and third children, and her Grey's Anatomy co-star decided to commemorate it the same way as the singer did. Meredith Grey got behind the camera and directed her friend in a photoshoot just like the one that Beyonce' did to announce the news.
You know, maybe it's time for the ABC medical drama to become a comedy because this is hilarious!

E.ON connecting HP outsourcing deal for £892m
T-Systems networking deal estimated at £500m, unconfirmed
By Leo King
Electricity and gas utility E.ON's outsourcing deal with HP has been confirmed as having a value of $1.4 billion (£892 million).
The deal, which will run for five years, covers the management of data centres and PCs. It was described by analysts at TechMarketView as a "rare" megadeal in the current economic climate.
E.ON has also outsourced network management to T-Systems. The value of that deal has not been announced, but it is thought to be approximately £500 million.
The deals are part of the utility's 'PerformToWin' strategy, which is aimed at improving processes. HP will support E.ON's data centres and PCs, while T-Systems runs networking.
The utility will work with HP to improve operational efficiency, with the IT supplier managing data centres and workplace services for 80,000 employees. HP will also act as IT integrator.
HP already supplies hardware, support services and managed print services for E.ON.
The deal will also see will also see HP deploy its hybrid cloud model, Instant-On Enterprise, according to TechMarketView research director John O'Brien. He said the model is likely to be run "as a private cloud and to include the use of HP's infrastructure and software-as-a-service".
Around 1,100 E.ON staff will move to HP and around 300 to T-Systems. The 2,700 remaining in E.ON's IT department will continue to decide IT strategy, and run applications, security and the main power station control systems.
Edgar Aschenbrenner, chief information officer at E.ON, said the company needed "consistent, innovative and agile IT services".
E.ON is "one of the first major energy companies to outsource its entire IT infrastructure", O'Brien said.
"Energy companies are under increasing pressure to cut costs and transform their IT estates as they grapple to take on the challenges of smart metering roll outs," he added. "So the deal could well point towards further outsourcing to come among the big energy providers."

There is something fascinating about investigating abandoned buildings. I use what was left behind: old papers, broken objects, and discarded furniture to imagine what once existed. I create narratives for the different types of people that would inhabit these spaces and collect their objects to recreate environments filled with their stories. Some objects are my own personal story while others are those of a stranger. Everything I have collected is found in Charlotte, North Carolina, which at the time was the only home I've ever known. It is a place that never holds on to anything. There is more concern for creating anew than renovating the old. To me there is something tragic about old buildings being demolished and places fading into mere memories. My work is a reflection on the inevitability of loss and time.


I'm pleased to announce the 2nd milestone release of AppFuse 2.1. This release includes upgrades to all dependencies to bring them up-to-date with their latest releases. Most notable are Spring 3 and Struts 2.1. This release fixes many issues with archetypes and contains many improvements to support Maven 3. For more details on specific changes see the 2.1.0 M2 release notes.
AppFuse is an open source project and application that uses open source frameworks to help you develop Web applications quickly and efficiently. It was originally developed to eliminate the ramp-up time when building new web applications. At its core, AppFuse is a project skeleton, similar to the one that's created by your IDE when you click through a wizard to create a new web project. If you use JRebel with AppFuse, you can achieve zero-turnaround in your project and develop features without restarting the server.
AppFuse comes in a number of different flavors. It offers "light", "basic" and "modular" and archetypes. Light archetypes use an embedded H2 database and contain a simple CRUD example. In the final 2.1.0 release, the light archetypes will allow code generation like the basic and modular archetypes. Basic archetypes have web services using CXF, authentication from Spring Security and features including signup, login, file upload and CSS theming. Modular archetypes are similar to basic archetypes, except they have multiple modules which allows you to separate your services from your web project.
AppFuse provides archetypes for JSF, Spring MVC, Struts 2 and Tapestry 5. The light archetypes are available for these frameworks, as well as for Spring MVC + FreeMarker, Stripes and Wicket.
Please note that this release does not contain updates to the documentation. Code generation will work, but it's likely that some content in the tutorials won't match. For example, you can use annotations (vs. XML) for Spring MVC and Tapestry is a whole new framework. I'll be working on documentation over the next several weeks in preparation for the 2.1 final release.
If you have questions about AppFuse, please read the FAQ or join the user mailing list. If you find bugs, please create an issue in JIRA.

CIVIC is built to be a visual platform with tools for rapid development of analytics and visualizations for civic data. It's special because our software system was designed by Hack Oregon's volunteer teams and is intended to be maintained and developed by our methodology of organizing multi-disciplinary teams of coders, designers, domain experts, industry partners, and local government leadership around story themes.
Under the hood it's all open source, so what's built by one city can be shared, replicated, or improved in another. We're strengthening our reusable component architecture on top of a robust developer environment to support big data in the cloud, and we're excited that the projects we're building in Portland will have (even) more impact with a relational network of other city data.
For more information, see Hack Oregon's announcement on going national.

Last year, Robert English of Avé Restaurant won the Mid North Coast Signature Dish Awards, and his humble Bellingen restaurant was thrust into the spotlight. Since then, Robert and his partner Amanda have gone on to obtain a liquor licence and being awarded a Chef's Hat from the AGFG.
Congratulations on winning the Mid North Coast Signature Dish Competition last year. How exciting was that for you?
We were proud to showcase our style of food and be recognised in the area. This competition has boosted our small family owned restaurant into the spotlight.
Tell us about your winning dish, including what local ingredients you choose to use.
It was an assiette of local squid consisting of squid ink risotto with crispy tentacles, sautéed squid with saffron mussels and smoked ham foam. The local ingredients were: a locally produced ham, local squid and garnishes from local growers like radish, watercress, flowers and broad beans.
How did Avé Restaurant evolve?
We moved up from the Hunter Valley in 2009 to build the restaurant in this quaint 100 year old church. We originally opened as a breakfast and lunch venue, but after trialling a few nights (and by popular demand), we decided to open four nights a week, along with four lunches. Last year we also started our external catering, which really took off and has kept us very busy.
You recently acquired an alcohol license. Was choosing the wine menu made easier, considering you both worked in wineries in the Hunter Valley?
No, there is a lot of great wine – and it takes time to taste such a large array. It's a hard life sometimes in this industry! We think we're off to a great start with the list, and it can only get better.
What's on the menu at Avé Restaurant?
On the menu this season we have a few unique items like: House smoked caviar with kangaroo carpaccio. I use a local apple wood to smoke our caviar, to impart even more depth to an already amazing product. House made goats' ricotta with brulée lemon and daylilies (an edible flower with an amazing variety of flavours and colours). I also use garlic shoots and heirloom tomatoes on this dish to match the strong flavours of the ricotta. Sous-vide beef striploin with morels – a low temperature poaching method that helps retain maximum flavour and breaks down the protein over a twenty-hour period.
What ingredients excite you the most this season?
At the moment, our favourite would be a local apple wood I use for smoking caviar and infusing the bisque. We also enjoy using garlic shoots and the flowers.
If you have to give the home cooks one tip, what would it be and why?
What makes dining at Avé Restaurant unique?
It is a combination of the food, the service and the atmosphere, along with being situated in an old church … the only church serving more than bread!
What can diners expect from Avé?
We can guarantee that the food will always be of the highest quality utilising exciting and unique produce – and using techniques which are not seen in any other restaurants in this area.
What is your greatest quote in life?There are many great quotes to live by, but the one that stands out at the moment is a quote by Len Evans, a wine legend, "Live each day as if it will be your last, but plan your life as if you'll live forever".
What is your goal as an establishment?
To provide guests our absolute best by continually reinventing our food and wine and treating our customers as if they were family. There is a deep satisfaction for us in what we do, and this is only magnified when our guests leave feeling that dining with us was a great experience – not only a meal.
You recently were awarded a Chef's Hat by the Australian Good Food Guide; how did that make you feel?
Being one of two restaurants in the whole Mid North Coast with this recognition has really inspired us to push ourselves even further this year; although, we'd rather focus on providing our guests with a quality product than just winning awards.

Q: Android adb "Unable to open sync connection!" I can run and debug my Android app on my phone just fine, most of the time. Then, seemingly randomly, when I try to run or debug my app from Eclipse, the Console in Eclipse says:
[2010-10-12 09:36:48 - myapp] Android Launch!
[2010-10-12 09:36:48 - myapp] adb is running normally.

[2010-10-12 09:36:48 - myapp] Launch canceled!

*

*Retry: doesn't help, same messages.

*Restart Eclipse: doesn't help.

*Restart adb (adb kill-server && adb start-server): no errors, doesn't help.

*Reconnect the phone: sometimes helps.

*Reboot the computer: kind of drastic, haven't tried this yet.

Using Ubuntu 10.4, Eclipse Galileo 3.5.2, Android SDK 7, ADT plugin 0.9.6, Nexus One, Android 2.2.1.
Any bright ideas?

A: I was having exactly the same problem, but I already had my phone connected to the computer's USB port. Sometimes disconnecting and reconnecting the cord worked but then it stopped working completely.
However, disabling USB debugging on the phone and then re-enabling it has worked so far. Hopefully it keeps working! These fixes really seem like silly hacks.. I'm not sure what the underlying problem is.

A: This may also be related to a "too many open files" issue.  I manually tried to install the app when getting the "sync" error above and that's when I got the "too many open files" clue.  one brute workaround, based on some old posts, seems to be to restart the phone, and one google engineer suggested doing it twice, the second time before it goes into sleep mode the first time (details on why in the post).
That was a few years ago, and maybe they've fixed it, or just did some things to get around it in the usual cases and the reinstall-as-part-of-development is not a case that it addresses.

A: Nexus One here, CyanogenMod 7 (Android 2.3.7)... disable and reenable:
Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging
And everything works now on Eclipse and Mac OS X 10.7.3.

A: I was able to clear this only by cycling the USB Debugging option on the phone.

A: I have been having the same problem when I have the phone connected through my keyboard's USB hub. IT went away when I connected straight to the computer's USB port.

A: This error occurs when somehow the Android Debug Bridge , which is the tool to send data from our computer to the connected device, disconnects. As we know, there are some layers to get connected like the adb itself and of course, the last layer is the USB cable, so when you already tried to restart your adb script and seem not working, you just need to reconnect your cable.

A: I have had the same problem and restarting ADB wouldn't work for me.  Sometimes rebooting my phone worked but not always, I was unable to program for about a week because of this glitch and I think I finally found a workaround! :-D
First of all, kill every program running on your phone.  Having some kind of taskmanager makes this a quick task, otherwise you'll have to manually kill them all one at a time.
If that doesn't fix it, you will need to go to your phone settings, then go to "Applications", then go to "Running services", and kill every service in there.  I'm using a Droid Incredible and I have yet to have this not work for me. :-)
So, the short answer is, kill all apps, and all services.
Also, keep in mind, you will need to close, and re-open eclipse to see if this fix has worked for you.  I hope this works for you, I know it did for me! :-D

A: When this happens on the Kindle Fire I just power it off and back on again.

A: I fixed it just by disabling and enabling the debugging configuration on my device (SonyEricsson Xperia)

A: I see this problem regularly in both attached devices (Phone or Tablet) and even the emulators. I noticed that the problem often follows periods of inactivity (after a lunch break for example). It may be that the Operating System on the development machine is trying to conserve resources and adb just isn't all that JIT friendly.
On windows I have to close the IDE and open Task Manager and force stop (kill) adb, then relaunch Eclipse. This always works for me...

*

*I noticed if I set a higher priority in task manager for adb, this problem is greatly reduced--although it can still happen.

A: Restarting the phone has also fixed this problem for me whenever reseting the usb cable didnt fix it

A: The solution is likely to run on your android phone (on local terminal or ssh terminal):
  $ stop adbd; start adb
I don't like overkill solutions like rebooting hte phone... and this is usually not needed under Linux. I experienced the same problem when connecting over Wifi, so USB is maybe not responsible at all. Reading the answer from user655489, I got the idea to run lsof, and then lsof | grep adbd | wc -l  => I think I had over many sockets open with all FD from 0 to 1023 in use... how suspicious.
I ran killall adbd, then restarted adbd per How can I connect to Android with ADB over TCP?  And the problem was gone.
The cause is that, at least when debugging and having to kill my non-working apps, that several of the sockets never get closed.

A: What helps for me is the following:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If you are debugging on AndroidX86 (or otherwise have root access to your Android developer machine)
Kill the "adbd" process.. and let it restart.
e.g.
[On Android VM]

*

*kill adbd  (e.g. kill `ps a| grep adbd | awk ' { print $2 } ' `)

*/sbin/adbd will restart automatically

[On DEV station]

*

*[dev station]  ./adb disconnect

*[dev station]  ./adb connect

If you don't have root, probably toggling USB debugging, rebooting, etc could also help.
As it also restarts adbd
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A: I have been experiencing this problem very often (I mean like every second time I launched Debug). I was using a rather long USB cable. I switched to the original HTC USB cable which is short and the problem was gone!

A: I experienced this problem when my USB cable was connected to PC via keyboard USB :O. When I connected it to PC directly my problem solved.
I hope this works.
Enjoy!

A: As per Maven Explanation I tried this solution. but I was getting the same problem. So I restarted the device. And it started working perfectly.

A: Try this,
Disabling USB debugging on the phone and then re-enabling under
Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
its works fine.

A: This solution worked for me

*

*Click Revoke USB debugging authorizations.

*Click OK.

*Reattach USB.

*Click OK for Permissions.

(A River Friend Academic Book all about the remarkable Common Reed (Phragmites australis) suitable for undergraduates and graduates alike)
Common reed (Phragmites australis, formerly P. communis) is a tall grass attaining a height of eight metres or more, with a large inflorescence. It is the principal, dominant species in European reedswamps and marshes, where the species may live for thousands of years. Phragmites grows in a variety of environmental conditions. It occurs from bog to marsh, to lake edges, from damp ground to depths of up to four metres in brackish and freshwater, from sea level to mountain. It may be tall and dominant, sparse and flaccid in wet woods, in bands along streams, as solitary shoots in fens, as short (10 cm) scratchy shoots in dry, salty trampled places, or as runners along the ground. Quite a variety!
The study of Phragmites has been patchy, and serious, long-term research on the plant is still needed. The author is one of the people who, during a long career, has undertaken any such investigations.
In this book, the life history of the plant, its pattern and growth, genetic and clonal variations, along with the plant's physical economic impact on its environment, are all discussed.
Above all else, it shows how remarkable this plant is.

Phragmites australis is the dominant species in reedbeds and occurs on every continent except Antarctica and may be one of the most wide-ranging of all flowering plants. Phragmites grows under a variety of environmental conditions ranging from salt to fresh water, which probably has led to its ubiquitous occurrence around the globe.
Now as a result of a great deal of talk about the value of reedbeds (largely prompted by EU Directives) mostly in terms of their importance as a habitat for other species, some rehabilitation, creation or conservation is being undertaken. What has been lacking is sufficient, serious and long-term research on the plant itself.
There is a need for Universities and research organisations to appoint aquatic or wetland ecologists whenever possible. If, with a preponderance of botanists and low disturbance, we can get the vegetation right, the proper fauna will generally follow: while the reverse does not apply.
Can future research be done properly and how can further understanding be gained? If this is not, this book could be authoritative for a century when, properly, it should be overtaken by a new book in perhaps a quarter of that time.
I apologise to those whose work is omitted or barely referred to. Some cover the same ground (with publications mostly referred to by name); some add to knowledge in different parts of the globe, confirming general behaviour as the same, but not otherwise increasing knowledge; some describe what will be the understanding of how chemical processes determine behaviour, but the research is still ongoing; and conclusions are missing.
To provide evidence for Phragmites behaviour often requires complex tables which the general reader does not need or want. Tables are therefore gathered at the end of chapters, where they can be studied if desired.

Gene Mutation Protects Against Milk Shakes and Other Fatty Fare
gene-lower-cholesterol-weight-loss-150.jpg
By Patrick Sauer
THURSDAY, Dec. 11, 2008 (Health.com) — Some people have all the luck. A new study shows that certain individuals with a gene mutation can slurp down milk shakes or other high-fat food and drink without a nasty jump in cholesterol.
It's almost like being born with a built-in cholesterol-lowering drug. The gene is called APOC3, and researchers found that 5% of the people they studied—who were all Amish, in this case—had the protective mutation, according to the report in Science.
The researchers haven't tested a lot of people so far, but they think the gene mutation is relatively rare. (The Amish sometimes have higher or lower levels of mutations than those found in the general population.)
They do know that it seems to work by speeding up the breakdown of triglycerides, a type of fat. In the study, Toni Pollin PhD, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, in Baltimore, and colleagues gave 809 members of the Old Order Amish community in Lancaster County, Penn., a super-high-fat milk shake (78% of calories from fat), and then tracked them for the next six hours.
They monitored how volunteers' arteries coped with the fatty drink and checked for calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, a sign of heart disease.
The researchers tested the participants' DNA and found that those who coped with the fatty drink better than others had an APOC3 mutation. The mutation carriers had less artery calcification, indicating that they had healthier hearts as well as higher HDL (good cholesterol), and lower triglycerides and LDL (bad cholesterol).
Next: How the discovery might help the rest of us
If you're not one of the lucky gene carriers, it's still good news. The gene mutation ends up causing lower-than-normal production of a protein called ApoCIII. You may have heard of some of the other factors that indirectly lower ApoCIII: weight loss, cholesterol-lowering drugs, and fish oil.
The discovery that directly lowering ApoCIII via the mutation is not harmful—and indeed, might be beneficial—could help researchers develop new therapies to fight heart disease, says Pollin.
Pollin adds that the gene variant is rare in the general population, but the effects of reducing the amount of ApoCIII can be universally beneficial. "Over a lifetime, having less ApoCIII confers a favorable lipid profile, which appears to be cardio-protective," Pollin says.
Karol Watson, MD, PhD, codirector of preventative cardiology at the University of California, Los Angeles, cautions that although some cholesterol-lowering drugs decrease ApoCIII, it is an indirect effect and not the primary reason they protect against cardiovascular disease. She did say that the new study and others like it could have important implications for fighting heart disease in the general population.
"In the last few years, a couple of different genetic mutations have been discovered that confer lifelong beneficial positive lipid levels and protection from heart disease," she says. "It's a great starting point for possible drug development or public health measures. Hopefully, understanding and researching this small Amish group will help us find broader approaches that can do the same thing for us genetically unlucky people."
The study, part of the University of Maryland's larger Heredity and Phenotype Intervention Study that examined how genes and lifestyle factors influence the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, was funded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.


Life and Living > Preschool > Who Else Is Lying to Us About Preschool Classroom Design Ideas?
If you obey my steps, your project ought to be among the very best at your school too. Showcasing the work of students is among the main things to do. It's often very difficult to produce ideas for the younger children who can't crawl.
We've got a few entries mentioned below, to assist you produce such intriguing ideas for preschool teachers and kids. Therefore, if you're trying to find a few creative ideas for preschool bulletin boards, scroll down to see them. A number of you will remember the resources at their college. Consequently, teaching kids different art ideas which can be made utilizing these themes, is a remarkable activity for preschoolers.
You need to be innovative if you don't want the board to appear drab, which it will, if not regularly updated. Again, you must have to make sure the board is reachable for the kids. Bulletin board is a medium by which people share information with one another. The bulletin board may be used for college trivia. The bulletin boards can likewise be used for advertising or selling solutions.
Speak to kindergarten and first grade teachers at a nearby school who might be willing to share information with you. Contact information regarding pizza delivery centers can be of excellent assistance. Providing information regarding the life of notable writers and a number of the intriguing facts would end up being inspiring for students. There are a lot of themes and color schemes that may be experimented with.
Based on which display size are accessed, an individual must note that smaller font may not be read at the rear of the class. It's also best to use a number of colors within the classroom, since the repetition of color aids the memory. Too little light and smallish windows strengthen the growth of depression.
It is possible to arrange the reading corner within your class. When determining your classroom design, think of how each interest center is used and, thus, the activity level which may happen in each individual center. While learning centers seem to work nicely with small classes, they're a nightmare for teachers with larger classes. Sometimes it is essential to begin with a less expensive portable center.
Preschool Classroom Design Ideas – Dead or Alive?
If you're filling the place of a volunteer who has lately left, they may turn into a fantastic mentor. The sound level often rises above that that will be deemed acceptable, which makes it hard for the teacher to regain the students' interest. There are several difficulty levels available too.
Greater skill acquisition opportunities The mainstream curriculum presents the distinctive needs child with more opportunities to acquire the skills which are not necessarily included in a distinctive needs curriculum. When it is within a classroom, then announcing requirements ahead of closing for the holidays is a very good idea. Furthermore, teachers are charged with the tasks of cleaning and keeping up the centers on a normal basis. School started a couple of weeks past, and I made more changes. Many students aren't conscious of the activities and competitions which take place in their college. Junior students may benefit from such books that are available at reasonable rates. They would find it easy to contact you.
One of the least difficult craft supplies to be found is the newspaper, and most of us understand that it's excellent to recycle. Inside this article you'll see a photo of the craft and additionally the name and address of the website that features the angel craft. It's difficult to think that a few of these crafts were produced with plastic bottles.
Provide pictures of assorted types of transportation and permit the children decide which one they'd love to make. Crafting is an enjoyable and productive way to teach children about their heritage. You can make certain that your child doesn't get hooked on the games by combining them with various other pursuits. It welcomes the children the moment they arrive. Everything should be at the children at the suitable age. The rest of the children are currently running away from the thrower. Infants should not and won't put on a mask.

Can you help fight the California drought by consuming only foods and beverages that require minimal water to produce?
Well, as the old saying goes, the devil is in the details. In a recently published paper, Daniel Sumner, director of the UC Agricultural Issues Center at UC Davis, and research assistant Nina M. Anderson mine the details of this issue to help us all better understand just what impact our food choices can have on conserving California's precious water.
To begin with, not all water drops are equal because not all water uses impact California's drought, the researchers explain.
So just what water does qualify as California drought-relevant water? You can definitely count surface water and groundwater used for agricultural irrigation as well as water used for urban purposes, including industrial, commercial and household uses.
Rain that falls on un-irrigated California pastureland is not relevant to California's drought.
In short, California's drought-relevant water includes all irrigation water, but excludes rainfall on non-irrigated California pastures as well as any water that actually came from out-of-state sources and wound up in livestock feeds or young livestock eventually imported by California farmers and ranchers.
Also, the amount of water that soaks back into the ground following crop irrigation doesn't count – and that amount can be quantified for each crop.
I think you're getting the picture; this water-for-food analysis is complicated. For this paper, the researchers examined five plant-based and two animal-based food products: almonds, wine, tomatoes, broccoli, lettuce, milk and beef steak.
In teasing out the accurate amount of water that can be attributed to each food, the researchers first calculated how much water must be applied to grow a serving of each crop or animal product. Then they backed off the amount of water that is not California drought-relevant water, arriving at a second figure for the amount of drought-relevant water used for each food.
They provide a terrific graph (Fig. 3) that makes this all quite clear, comparing total applied water with California drought-relevant water used for the seven food products.
Milk and steak top the chart in total water use, with 1 cup of milk requiring 68 total gallons of water and a 3-ounce steak requiring 883.5 total gallons of water.
"Remarkably, a serving of steak uses much less water than a serving of almonds, or a glass of milk or wine, and about the same as a serving of broccoli or stewed tomatoes," write Sumner and Anderson.
Still skeptical? Check out their paper in the January-February issue of the "Update" newsletter of the Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics at http://bit.ly/1XKZxxC.
A year ago, a co-worker wrote a post on this blog entitled "It's just a waste." The sad facts of food waste are something we pay attention to since we work for the UC Postharvest Technology Center. A key component of our Center's mission is to "reduce postharvest losses." This topic also hits close to home on a personal level since I have always struggled with using up produce before it spoils. I go shopping about once a week, and tend to purchase just a bit more produce than what we will actually eat – in the hopes that one of us will suddenly adopt healthier eating habits by increasing our intake of fresh produce. I place the produce in my fruit ripening bowl, on the counter, or in the fridge, according to the recommendations on my handy produce storage chart. But nearly every week something goes awry, usually with my schedule, and I end up not serving the delicious produce-based meals I had planned, or I forget to pack my lunch, and oops, the negative effects of delayed consumption hit my produce.
The numbers show I'm not alone in this struggle, since research reports that nearly 30 percent of all produce losses in the United States happen at the consumer level. I was surprised to learn that today the average American consumer wastes nearly 50 percent more food than we did in the 1970s. (Link to the August 2012 Natural Resources Defense Council Report.) In the Food & Agriculture Organization of the United Nation's chart you can see that consumers from every other region around the world do significantly better than we in using their produce.
I want to do better, too! I hereby resolve to try harder to stick with my menu plan, pay closer attention to produce on the counter and the fridge (sometimes known affectionately in the produce industry as the "black hole"), and I will try very hard to be more creative in my use or preservation of quickly ripening produce.
My single biggest challenge is bananas. I try to buy a smaller hand of 5 to 6 bananas with some green tint left. They go on my banana hook in a cooler corner of my kitchen. At least half the weeks of the year those bananas have black spots within 3 to 4 days, and by day 5 there are usually 2 to 3 bananas left that are no longer appealing to my family. So almost half the bananas I buy usually don't get eaten. I know, I know, "buy a smaller hand of bananas," you say. That's easier said than done, at least at the markets in which I shop.
Thankfully there are many cooks out there willing to share their recipes for creative ways to use up an over-supply of bananas. Below is a starting list of ideas that I'll be drawing from as I make an effort to reduce produce waste, and especially banana waste, in our home.
Peel, insert a lollipop or popsicle stick and freeze. Eat as is, or dip in melted chocolate.
Postharvest technology. Hmmm. What does that even mean to you? Like most people, you've probably never thought about it, but it actually affects you every day. At least whenever you eat fruits and vegetables, and let's face it, we all need to be eating more fruits and vegetables.
Working at the Postharvest Technology Center, I often think about how to spread our mission of how to reduce postharvest losses and improve the quality, safety and marketability of fresh horticultural products. Part of doing this is educating consumers about making good choices so they have a better experience eating fruits and vegetables. And, if consumers have a better experience with fruits and vegetables, we eat more of them. If we can create demand at the consumer end, it will trickle through to the people that handle your produce: processors, retailers, distributors, carriers, marketers, shippers and finally growers.
The type of cultivar the farmer chooses to plant and what kind of soil, temperature and light conditions, irrigation and fertilization practices at the farm affect flavor and nutritional quality. When the product was harvested, how it was handled prior to arrival at your market, and how your market stores the product all influence the quality of your produce.
If you'd like to learn more about how you can make the most of your fresh fruit and vegetable experiences, the Postharvest Technology Center is offering a 40 percent discount (making it only $4.20!) on "From the Farm to Your Table" through the end of September 2012. And as long as you're there, our other consumer publication, the poster "Storing Fresh Fruits and Vegetables for Better Taste" (just $1) would be a lovely addition to your refrigerator!

Even though U.S. consumers routinely buy and eat genetically engineered corn and soy in processed foods — most are unaware of the fact because the GE ingredients are not labeled.
When consumers are asked in surveys whether they would buy genetically engineered (GE) produce such as fruit, most say they would not buy GE produce unless there were a direct benefit to them, such as greater nutritional value.
Consumer concerns about GE fruit are a factor discouraging commercialization. Plums shown are engineered to resist plum pox virus; they have received regulatory approval, but have not come to market.
Consumer reluctance to buy GE fruits and nuts is a major obstacle to commercialization of these crops in California. To date, no such crop has been brought to market in the golden state, although many have been researched and are being developed.
Yet with continuing invasions and spread of exotic insects and diseases for which there is no known control, the potential importance of trees or vines with some form of genetically engineered resistance is on the rise. In California, such diseases include Pierce's disease in grapes, crown gall disease in walnuts, and the invasive citrus greening (huanglongbing or HLB) in citrus.
"These are potentially devastating diseases to California growers, who produce 70 percent of the fresh fruit and nuts for the entire United States," notes Victor Haroldsen, scientific analyst at Morrison and Foerster, in the current California Agriculture. "They are also a mainstay of the California economy. Fruit and nut tree crops accounted for one-third of the state's total cash farm receipts, or $13.2 billion in 2010."
Now, however, Haroldsen reports that there may be a way to satisfy both consumers and growers — called "transgrafting."
Wild-type (left) and GE (right) walnut microshoots, after inoculation with crown gall-inducing virus. The wild-type shows tumor growth; the GE microshoot on the right does not. Transgrafting allows disease resistance to protect the plant while maintaining non-GE nuts.
Transgrafting combines an old practice with a new technology. For decades, it has been established practice in commercial orchards and vineyards to graft "scions," the fruit-producing budwood, onto "rootstock," the roots and trunk.
"In transgrafting the genetically engineered rootstock can potentially confer the whole plant with resistance to disease. Yet the rootstock does not transfer the modified genes to the fruits or nuts produced," said Haroldsen.
Although over 10 years old, transgrafting technology is just now nearing commercialization, partly due to the long generation times of most trees and vines. Two such transgrafting applications are: a crown gall-resistant walnut rootstock, and a grape rootstock that confers moderate resistance to Pierce's disease.
"The key advantage of transgrafting is that the plant's vascular system can selectively transport across graft junctions the proteins, hormones, metabolites and vitamins from the roots without changing the heritable genes or DNA sequence in the fruit or nut." says Haroldsen.
In recent research at UC Davis, Haroldsen (a former graduate student) and his colleagues confirmed that modified DNA and full-length RNA from the rootstock does not cross the "graft union" into the scion, in the walnut and grape applications, or in a tomato model of these two systems.
"These current GE applications address root or xylem pests and diseases, but future applications will likely target traits aimed at consumer needs such as increased nutritional value or improved flavor," said Haroldsen. "If perceived risks to personal health and the environment could be reduced, genetic engineering could benefit not only growers but Californians around the state," he adds.
What would you think if someone told you that they were fighting for a "share" of your stomach? Bring to mind organ harvesting? Invasion? Theft?
I first heard this term a month ago when I took part in a gathering of food experts. Someone recalled recently overhearing soda company executives brainstorming how they could increase what they referred to as "stomach share." They were seeking to expand their product lines (from sodas, to juices, waters, and exercise drinks) to make sure that whenever someone drank a beverage, any beverage, it was theirs. What was particularly disturbing, he recalled, was how little the consumer figured in the equation. The goal was to get product into stomach, as often as possible.
The story reminded me of another phrase I'd come across in my research for my book Empty Pleasures — "prosperity stomach." Coined in 1966 by Henry Schacht, an executive from a diet-food company, and mentioned in his talk that year to newspaper editors called 'How to Succeed in Business without Getting Fat," the phrase referred to a troubling problem faced by the food industry. Because people (at least the middle class) did less manual labor and could easily (and cheaply) purchase abundant food, they had begun to worry about weight gain — and count calories. This was causing sales to decrease, and, in turn lowering the profits for food companies and marketers. Schacht's answer? Diet Foods. By developing more foods with fewer calories, the industry could sell more by promoting it as less.
"Stomach share" and "prosperity stomach" — terms invented nearly 50 years apart — remind us that there are real reasons why it is so difficult to consume only when we are hungry. Given their resonance, the wonder is not that our stomachs have expanded, it's that they have not expanded even further.
Companies vie for space in consumers' stomachs.

Five Asian artists not to miss at Hong Kong's Clockenflap Music & Arts Festival 2018
Published on : October 30, 2018 October 30, 2018 Published by : Rowena Leung
Asia's premier music and arts festival, Clockenflap, has released their much-anticipated full lineup and a complete list of attractions for its 11th edition on November 9 to 11 at Central Harbourfront, Hong Kong.
Among the new acts to be announced in recent weeks have been the legend that is Erykah Badu, British indie legend Jarvis Cocker, ambient pop collective Cigarettes After Sex, and Trainspotting-author-turned DJ Irvine Welsh. Australian DJ Nina Las Vegas is also set to perform, as are Peking Duk.
In total, around 100 top international, regional and local acts will perform across 6 stages, while the festival will also feature a cornucopia of Instagram-worthy installations, outlandish interactive experiences, and lively family-oriented entertainment.
Interested yet? Here are five Asian artists to pique your interest even further:
Cornelius is the brainchild of Japanese multi-instrumentalist Keigo Oyamada and penned the name for himself as a homage to Planet of the Apes. He's often referred to as the "Japanese Beck" and his sound could be described as experimental and exploratory. Cornelius' live show will be a must see as they are known around the world for spectacular visuals (all perfectly synchronised to the performance), custom lighting that complements the performance, and becomes another instrument within it, with a full band of equally talented and diverse players.
"If you are here"
Suchmos is a breakout Japanese rock band whose sound is influenced by African American music like 1970's soul and funk, acid jazz, and 1990's R&B. The six-member group's 2016 video for the swaggering "Stay Tune" served as its breakout, currently sitting at over 42 million views on YouTube. Suchmos was one of the biggest musical acts of 2017 in Japan, paving a new way forward for Japanese bands.
"Stay Tune"
Wu Tiao Ren
On a completely different end of the spectrum, we have Wu Tiao Ren, an indie folk band from Haifeng, China. Wu Tiao Ren means "Five People," but the group has only two members: the earnest Amao and the evasively playful Renke. Both Amao and Renke sing in the Haifeng dialect and play guitar, while Renke doubles on the accordion, an instrument Chinese folk musicians rarely use. One would expect this to limit the band's audience but they have also gained critical acclaim in Hong Kong and Taiwan
"像將軍那樣喝酒"
CIFIKA's seductive falsetto and stylish electronic productions has quickly allowed her to become one of the most promising acts in the Korean music scene. Only two years into her burgeoning music career, CIFIKA has already earned massive media attention (including features with Vice, Hypebeast, and Dazed) and performed at multiple major festivals including Reeperbahn in Germany. While still relatively underground, there is no doubt that CIFIKA will soon gain a massive mainstream following.
"Intellingentsia"
Anpu is a Taiwanese singer-songwriter who started composing when she was 13 and began to perform on stage at 16. Her music is profound, having a great impact on her audience, and continues to be a voice her generation. Anpu is considered one of the most influential alternative musical artists of this generation, in the music scene of her own town.

Although Shane Dawson has been a major face on YouTube for years, he experienced another popularity surge thanks to his viral documentary series – and after months of waiting, he's about to drop another one.
Dawson has dabbled in an array of topics for his series, including controversial YouTube stars and even conspiracy theories – but it looks like the YouTuber is returning to his roots in internet drama.
As previously mentioned in a series of Tweets in late June, Dawson's next series is titled "The Ugly Side of the Beauty World," and will reportedly tackle all the drama, gossip, and dirt from one of YouTube's biggest communities.
Dawson's upcoming documentary series is set to feature makeup mogul Jeffree Star, who starred in a previous series in summer 2018.

The photos in question show a series of shots featuring Dawson's "shocked" face, alongside an unamused and makeupless Jeffree Star, as well as Dawson's fiance, Ryland Adams.
According to the post, "The Ugly Side of the Beauty World" trailer is set to drop on Tuesday, September 24 – and a release date for the full series may be quick to follow.
Trailer coming Tuesday :eyes::heart: pic.twitter.com/DQbvBurJTx

Previous statements from Dawson claim that his beauty series is scheduled for a fall release, after some unexplained "stuff" "threw a wrench" in his plans for a conspiracy series in the interim.
Ugly Side of the Beauty World series in the fall and possibly something else in july. some stuff happened that threw a wrench in the conspiracy series but i'll explain soon. but the series in the fall is A LOT..so trust me, you'll be sick of me by the end of the year haha :grimacing: https://t.co/AVO2eOxhvb
— Shane Dawson (@shanedawson) June 30, 2019
Although the specifics of Dawson's upcoming series have yet to be revealed, fans across the net speculate that it could feature Star's drama with YouTuber James Charles, who was "exposed" by fellow beauty guru Tati Westbrook in one of the net's biggest scandals to date.

As previously mentioned, this wouldn't be Dawsons' first foray into YouTube drama, by far: in fact, he is well-versed in the topic, coming off his viral deep-dive into the life of YouTuber Eugenia Cooney, who finally admitted that she suffered from an unspecified eating disorder during his interview.
With mere days left before the trailer dops, fans are waiting with bated breath for a glimpse of what Dawson's labor-intensive series is all about. Get your popcorn ready – this is shaping up to be a wild ride!

James D. Hagerty
Eagle Creek near Standard Avenue, Indianapolis
Officer's handgun
Lieutenant James Hagerty was shot and killed by a theft suspect who had an earlier encounter with another officer.
The other officer was investigating a subject who had reportedly stolen vehicle tires and chased him to the rear of a home on South Tremont Street. A struggle ensued and the suspect fled the scene with that officer's service revolver.
Shortly later, the suspect was found hiding in weeds near Standard Avenue at the east bank of Eagle Creek when he shot at Lieutenant Hagerty. His second shot struck him in the abdomen and heart, killing him instantly.
A citizen confronted the suspect a short distance away and held him until officers arrived. The suspect was later found guilty of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Lieutenant Hagerty was preceded in death by his wife.

Die Saison 1991/92 der 2. Eishockey-Bundesliga war die 19. Spielzeit der zweithöchsten deutschen Eishockeyspielklasse und zugleich die letzte, die zweigleisig ausgetragen wurde. Der Meister EHC Dynamo Berlin stieg direkt in die Bundesliga auf, der Vizemeister EC Ratingen schaffte zudem in den Relegationsspielen die Qualifikation für die höchste Spielklasse.

Neben dem EV Füssen, der sich am Saisonende freiwillig vom Spielbetrieb zurückzog, und dem Duisburger SV, der während der Spielzeit Insolvenz anmeldete, mussten der ESC Wolfsburg, der Grefrather EC, der EV Ravensburg, der TSV Peißenberg und der EC Bad Tölz in die Oberliga absteigen.

Voraussetzungen

Teilnehmer

Modus
Wie in der Vorsaison wurde die Liga zweigleisig ausgetragen, wobei in beiden Gruppen zunächst zehn Mannschaften starteten. Zunächst wurde eine Vorrunde in Form einer Einfachrunde ausgespielt, sodass jeder Verein jeweils ein Heim- und ein Auswärtsspiel gegen die übrigen Mannschaften seiner Gruppe bestritt. Nach der Vorrunde erreichten die Mannschaften auf Platz 1 bis 5 beider Gruppen die Obere Zwischenrunde, während die weiteren Mannschaften die Untere Zwischenrunde ausspielten. Die besten acht Vereine der Oberen Zwischenrunde qualifizierten sich für die Aufstiegsrunde, aus der der Erste direkt in die Bundesliga aufstieg und der Zweite sich für die Relegationsspiele qualifizierte. Die beiden anderen Mannschaften der Oberen Zwischenrunde nahmen an der Qualifikationsrunde mit den besten Mannschaften der Unteren Zwischenrunde teil.

Aufgrund der Wiedereinführung der eingleisigen zweiten Liga qualifizierten sich nur die besten vier Mannschaften der Qualifikationsrunde für die folgende Spielzeit, die übrigen Vereine mussten in der Folgesaison in der Oberliga antreten. Die schlechtesten drei Teams der Unteren Zwischenrunde stiegen zudem direkt in die Oberliga ab.

Q: adding custom marks to SwiftUI chart using path I want to use a custom shape that I have drawn using a path to the marks of my chart. So instead of points or bars or whatever marking the data, I want the shape to be a specific symbol I have drawn. I am quite new to swift so I apologise if I add unnecessary information.
So I have a graph that looks like this:
graph image
here is the code for it:
Chart {
     PointMark(x: .value("Boat", "Pace Boat"), y: .value("Pace Boat", (viewModel.duration*(Double(viewModel.split) / paceBoat))))

     PointMark(x: .value("Boat", "You"), y: .value("Your Pace", viewModel.boat.last?.1.distance ?? 0))
}

This is code for the way I produce a shape:
struct BoatShape: Shape {

    func path(in rect: CGRect) -> Path {
        var path = Path()

        path.move(to: CGPoint(x: rect.midX, y: rect.minY))
        //... do drawing blah

        path.closeSubpath()

        return path
    }
}

I have seen I might be able to use the ChartSymbolShape protocol but I can't find much on the internet on implementation and I am quite new to swift. Any direction would be much appreciated
Additionally:
I would like to be to add text over the top of the shape just sort of pinning it to the x and y of the shape on the graph. Although this is not the main priority

A: Basically, what you should be doing is use any of the marks provided by Apple however set the opacity to 0 so that they don't appear. And then use the annotation therein you render your view.

                             {Object.keys(row).map(columnId => (
                                 <TableCell key={`${row.id}_${columnId}`}>
                                     ...
                                 </TableCell>
                             )}
                         </TableRow>
                     )
                 )}
             </TableBody>
         </Table>
    );
}

I pass in the column metadata and table data as props and the table gets constructed using that information. When a user clicks on the header cell, sortBy and sortDirection get updated, which triggers the effect hook which sorts the data and then updates the state with that sorted data.
My issue is that the rows of data being shown do not reflect the what is in the state at the time of rendering. Instead, the table is always showing the previous state. I added the console.log to confirm that the rows are correctly sorted in the returned JSX.

No matter what I try, it always shows the previous state. Can anyone explain what I am doing wrong?

A: The problem is that sort returns an array, but you're not updating the state with it. Try this:
useEffect(() => {
    const newData = data.sort((a,b) => {
        // sort according to sortBy and sortDirection
    }

    setSortedData(newData);
}, [sortBy, sortDirection]);
