Die Mandoline ist ein seit dem 17. Jahrhundert bekanntes Zupfinstrument europäischer Herkunft aus der Familie der Lauteninstrumente. In Partituren sowie in Besetzungslisten von Musikgruppen und Orchestern ist die Abkürzung mand. für Mandolinen gebräuchlich.

Von der Mandoline existieren zwei Grundbauformen, die sich deutlich in der Form des Korpus unterscheiden:
 Die klassische Mandoline, auch neapolitanische Mandoline oder Rundmandoline genannt, hat eine flache, abgeknickte Decke, keine Zargen und einen schalenförmigen (halb-birnenförmigen) Korpus (damit gehört sie zu den Schalenhalslauten);
 die Flachmandoline wird nach aus dem Cistern- oder Geigenbau entlehnten Konstruktionsprinzipien mit Zargen sowie mit flacher oder leicht gewölbter Decke und ebensolchem Boden angefertigt (und ist damit eine Kastenhalslaute).

Die überwiegende Anzahl der Mandolinen besitzt vier in Quinten gestimmte Saitenpaare (Chöre). Das gebräuchlichste Instrument der Mandolinenfamilie ist die Mandoline in Sopranstimmung, die Saiten sind dabei wie die einer Violine in g – d′ – a′ – e″ gestimmt. Die Mensur beträgt bei der Prim-Mandoline 32–35 cm, bei der Sekund-Mandoline mit abweichender Stimmung 36–38,5 cm. Die Mandola ist eine Mandoline in Tenorlage mit der Stimmung G – d – a – e′.

Bauweise
Klassische Mandolinen neapolitanischer Bauform erkennt man am tropfenförmigen und im Umriss einer Mandel ähnlichen Korpusform. Der Instrumentenbauer spricht von der "Muschel". Diese wird traditionell durch Verleimung von Holzspänen, ähnlich dem Korpus einer Laute, hergestellt und mit der Instrumentendecke verleimt. Die flache, meist an der breitesten Stelle geknickte Decke wird fast ausschließlich aus Fichtenholz gefertigt.

In der folkloristischen Musik wird meist ein anders konstruierter Korpus, ähnlich dem von Violinen mit gewölbter Decke (Archtop), mit separat hergestellten Zargen und nur leicht gewölbtem Boden oder flach wie Gitarren, bevorzugt. In den Vereinigten Staaten wurden seit Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts verschiedene Varianten der Flachmandoline mit Korpuseinschnitt (englisch: Cutaway) und mit Schalllöchern in f-Form ("f-Löcher") entwickelt. Einer der Pioniere bei der Entwicklung der Flachmandoline war der US-amerikanische Instrumentenbauer Orville H. Gibson. Gibson erhielt im Jahr 1898 ein US-Patent für die von ihm nach Geigenbau-Prinzipien entwickelte Bauform.

Weitere Varianten
 eine frühe Form der Mandoline, oft Mailänder Mandoline genannt, wird entweder mit den Fingern oder mit einer Feder gespielt. Die gebräuchlichste Stimmung dieses 6-saitigen Instrumentes, das von etwa 1660 bis 1820 gespielt wurde, war g – h – e′ – a′ – d″ – g″
 portugiesische Halbrundmandoline
 deutsche Flachmandoline
 Gibson A-4 – tropfenförmige Flachmandoline mit rundem oder elliptisch geformtem Schallloch
 Gibson F-5 – Flachmandoline, etwa ab 1919 von Lloyd Loar für Gibson entwickelt, mit f-Löchern, Cutaway und mit charakteristischer Schnecke an Korpus und Kopfplatte, heute wertvolle Sammlerstücke
 E-Mandoline mit elektromagnetischem Tonabnehmer, meist in einspuliger Bauweise (Single Coil)

Verwandte Instrumente
Zu den der Mandoline nahe verwandten Zupfinstrumenten zählen die (eine Oktave tiefer klingende) Mandola, die Bouzouki oder Cister, das Mandolinenbanjo und die Mandriola, das Mandoloncello, außerdem die Tamburica und die Saz.

Verwendung in der Musik
Die Mandoline wird mit einem Plektrum aus Kunststoff oder aus Horn (im 19. Jahrhundert aus Schildpatt) gespielt.

Barock, Klassik, Romantik

Erste Quellen, in denen die Mandoline erwähnt wird, stammen aus dem frühen 17. Jahrhundert. Zur Zeit des Barock haben Komponisten wie Antonio Vivaldi, Carlo Arrigoni, Domenico Scarlatti und Johann Adolf Hasse für dieses Instrument komponiert.

Stammte die Mandoline ursprünglich aus Italien, wurde um 1750 Paris zu deren wichtigstem Zentrum. Weitere wichtige Komponisten, die sich der Mandoline widmeten, sind Georg Friedrich Händel (im Oratorium Alexander Balus in der Arie Hark! he strikes the golden lyre), Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (zum Beispiel im Konzert B-dur, das auch in einer Fassung für Violine vorliegt), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (zum Beispiel in einer Arie im Don Giovanni Deh vieni alla finestra), Ludwig van Beethoven (Sonatinen für Mandoline und Cembalo), Giovanni Hoffmann, Johann Nepomuk Hummel und Niccolò Paganini. Um 1800 findet man die Mandoline vor allem in Wien.

Das heute so bekannte Tremolo, eine wichtige Spieltechnik der Mandoline, ist bereits im 18. Jahrhundert belegt, zum Beispiel in der Mandolinenschule von Michel Corrette 1772, Kap. 10:  In der Literatur wird das Tremolo aber ab etwa 1840 verlangt. Der wichtigste Komponist der Romantik war Raffaele Calace (1863–1934), der mit Hilfe seines Bruders, des Instrumentenbauers Nicola Calace (1859–1923), das Instrument auch weiter entwickelte. Zu dieser Zeit gründeten sich die ersten Zupforchester.

Gegenwart
Die Mandoline wurde im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts mit immer größerer Beliebtheit in der zeitgenössischen Musik eingesetzt. Ein wichtiger deutscher Komponist für Mandoline und Zupforchester des 20. Jahrhunderts war Konrad Wölki; ihm ist vor allem die musikwissenschaftliche Anerkennung der Mandoline und des Zupforchesters zu verdanken. In der Gegenwart findet man die Mandoline im Orchester, in den verschiedensten Kammermusik-Ensembles und als solistisches Instrument. Durch die zunehmende Anzahl an professionellen Mandolinenspielern wächst auch die Zahl der Komponisten, die für die Mandoline schreiben.

Den europaweit einzigen professoralen Lehrstuhl für Mandoline bekleidet Caterina Lichtenberg in der Nachfolge von Marga Wilden-Hüsgen an der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln, Standort Wuppertal.

Volksmusik und Bluegrass
Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts war in Deutschland in der Wandervogelbewegung die Mandoline sicher auch aufgrund ihrer kleinen Bauform beliebt. Auch heute gibt es noch vielerorts Mandolinenorchester. Das Instrument fand im Folk-Revival der 1970er-Jahre bei einem jungen Publikum besondere Beachtung. Der Mandolinenspieler Erich Schmeckenbecher prägte mit dem Instrument den Klang des Duos Zupfgeigenhansel. Im rheinischen Karneval wurde die von Hans Süper im Colonia Duett gespielte Mandoline als "Flitsch" zum Markenzeichen des Komödianten. In der amerikanischen Bluegrass-Musik hat Bill Monroe das Verdienst, dass die Mandoline nicht nur rhythmisches Begleitinstrument, sondern auch ein gleichberechtigtes Soloinstrument wurde. Als besonders einflussreiche Virtuosen gelten David Grisman und Sam Bush. Chris Thile ist der einflussreichste junge Virtuose, der sich inzwischen auch im Bereich der klassischen Musik (mit einer Aufnahme der Bach-Violinsolostücke in Bearbeitung für Mandoline) hervorgetan hat. Vom brasilianischen Choro herkommend popularisiert Hamilton de Holanda derzeit die Mandoline im zeitgenössischen Jazz.

Pop- und Rockmusik
Eine breite Popularisierung erfuhr die Mandoline in den 1970er-Jahren durch zahlreiche Folk-Rock-Bands. Mike Oldfield spielt sie auf seinem Album Tubular Bells. Markante Beispiele für den Einsatz von Mandolinen in der Populärmusik sind das Musikstück Losing My Religion der Band R.E.M., sowie das Stück Boat on the River der amerikanischen Rock-Band Styx. Punkbands wie Flogging Molly und Dropkick Murphys setzten die Mandoline in elektrisch verstärkter Form ein. Die amerikanische Folk-Rock-Band The Hooters setzt regelmäßig sowohl akustische als auch elektrische Mandolinen ein, ebenso Rebecca Lovell bei Larkin Poe und Elvis Costello. Der Rock-Geiger Warren Ellis spielt bei Nick Caves Bands The Bad Seeds und Grinderman ebenfalls eine elektrische Mandoline, die durch starke Verzerrung allerdings kaum Ähnlichkeiten mit dem Klang einer klassischen Mandoline hat.

Q: Cannot find symbol between classes I am making a program to create a Huffman tree.  When I get to line 31 (node[i] = setFreq(freq);), my compiler returning an error "cannot find symbol", symbol being "method setFreq(int)" and location being "class Huffman".  As far as I can tell node[i] is initializing properly as NodeType, but not going back to the class the line mentioned.  Below is section of my code that should be all that is necessary (apologies if it isn't). The input table is going to be line-after-line of letter-frequency, ie:
A-3
B-32
C-23
etc.
Thanks for any help in advance.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Huffman{
    final static int MAXBITS = 138;
    final static int MAXSYMBS = 138;
    final static int MAXNODES = 255;

    public static void Huffman(){
       CodeType cd = new CodeType();
       CodeType code[] = new CodeType[MAXSYMBS];
       NodeType node[] = new NodeType[MAXNODES];
       int i, k, p, o, q, root, freq;
       DynamicList rootNodes = new DynamicList();
       char symb;
       char alph[] = new char[MAXSYMBS];

       for (i=0; i<MAXSYMBS; i++){
           alph[i] = ' ';
       }

       try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("HuffmanTable.txt"))){
          String line;
          i=0;
          while ((line = br.readLine()) != null){
              String[] parts = line.split("-");
              node[i] = new NodeType();
              String trick = parts[0];
              symb = trick.charAt(0);
              freq = Integer.parseInt(parts[1]);
              node[i] = setFreq(freq);
              rootNodes.pqInsert(new SmallNode(i, freq));
              alph[i] = symb;
              i++;
         }
   }
}

And the NodeType class
public class NodeType{
    private int freq;
    private int father;
    private boolean isLeft;

    public NodeType(){}

    public void isLeft(boolean fact){
        isLeft = fact;
    }
    public boolean isLeft(){
        return isLeft;
    }
    public void setFreq(int fr){
        freq = fr;
    }
    public int getFreq(){
        return freq;
    }
    public void setFather(int fath){
        father = fath;
    }
    public int getFather(){
        return father;
    }
}

A: Your setFreq(int) is the instance method of NodeType class. Besides that, is doesn't return a NodeType object so you cannot assign it like that to node[i].
What you need to do is create NodeType object, initialize it with values you need and then put it into array.
NodeType node = new NodeType();
node.setFreq( freq );
node[i] = node;

Hunter College, PRMA to host Social Entrepreneurship and Reconstruction conference
October 5, 201801447
The Center for Puerto Rican Studies, the School of Planning and the Manufacturers Association convene the Social Entrepreneurship and Reconstruction Conference on Oct. 5-6, 2018.
As part of the sustained efforts to link the Puerto Rican diaspora to the reconstruction efforts in Puerto Rico, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies (Hunter College-CUNY) announced the Social Entrepreneurship and Reconstruction conference taking place on the island Oct. 5-6.
The conference will convene representatives of the University of Puerto Rico's School of Planning as well as the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association and other civic organizations on the island and its diaspora.
"The conference will be a forum to assess the potential impact that core federal economic assistance programs may have after the catastrophic strikes by Hurricanes Irma and María," Edwin Meléndez, the Center for Puerto Rican Studies director and professor of Urban Affairs and Planning at Hunter College.
"The main goal of the conference and the workshops is to gauge the challenges and opportunities at this critical juncture in Puerto Rico's economic recovery, and to examine the extent to which federal programs may be deployed and matched to support economic development, job creation and the reduction of poverty," he said.
The conference opens today at the University of Puerto Rico. Saturday's schedule will entail an array of workshops, to be conducted at the PRMA's headquarters in Guaynabo.
The conference will open with a panel entitled "Perspectives on Social Entrepreneurship and Reconstruction" that includes the director of the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Efraín Maldonado, PRMA President Rodrigo Masses, and the undersecretary of Puerto Rico's Housing Department, moderated by Mildred Santiago Ortiz, executive director of Puerto Rico's Cooperatives League.
Today's program will also feature panels on the Community Development Block Grant for Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR), civic sector capacity-building for social entrepreneurship: go-betweens and philanthropy, among others.
On Saturday, the conference will feature workshops targeting grassroots and community-based organizations, representing the first event coordinated event by the newly formed PRMA's Diaspora Committee.
The workshops seek to provide practical experience with federal programs and financing that may be used for social enterprises, housing, community centers and schools, farmers' cooperatives, and the ways in which private enterprises may become involved, etc.
"There is a wide range of federally funded financing mechanisms for the reconstruction Puerto Rico faces, from tax credit, bond issues, loan guarantees, grants and other incentives," Meléndez said.
"Unfortunately, these resources are underutilized in Puerto Rico. In fact, one of the most important challenges that Puerto Rico is facing in its recovery is the relatively lack of effective civic capacity to take advantage of these federal programs," he added.
"Our purpose is to contribute to capacity-building of individuals and entities in those fields so they may use those resources available for the island's reconstruction and for the strengthening of its civic sector," Meléndez said.
The workshops offered at the conference are free of cost and will be conducted in English. They are specifically designed for nonprofit organizations, municipalities and social enterprises.
The workshops will assist in developing practical skills that individuals and organizations may need to find federal funding, and frame social investment from both the public and private sectors. Renowned experts will share their expertise and will link to appropriate resources to promote social enterprises.
For those who may not be present, Centro plans on offering the workshops as live-streamed webinar, in which participants may be able to follow the ensuing discussion, even if they may not be able to participate actively. Recorded proceedings of the workshops will be available for future viewing at the Centro's website.

So I'm not sure who in the Kinja-verse recommended this product (might have been on GT or Millihelen), but THANK YOU. This is seriously amazing.
Ever since going off hormonal birth control, I've discovered that I did not, in fact, grow out of my oily skin; it was just being regulated by the birth control. I usually had to go into the bathroom 2-3 times throughout the course of the day to matte-ify my face. But this! This works wonders! I just dab a bit over top of my makeup, and I'm good to go. It doesn't look powdery (like, well, powder) and I don't have to buy a ton of blotting papers.


FRIDAY, Sept. 14, 2018 (HealthDay News) -- With roughly 40 percent of Americans now obese, new research finds that one strategy may be helping Americans stay slim: calorie counts on restaurant menus.
Following the passage of the Affordable Care Act of 2010, chain restaurants with 20 or more franchises must now list a meal's calorie count on their menus and order boards.
And some cities and states -- including New York City, Philadelphia and Seattle, and all of California, Massachusetts and Oregon -- have gone a step further, imposing broad calorie label mandates in full-service restaurants.
"We conducted an experiment with over 5,500 diners in real-world restaurants and found that calorie labels led customers to order 3 percent fewer calories," said study author John Cawley. The drop amounted to about 45 fewer calories consumed per meal.
"This was due to reductions in calories ordered as appetizers and entrees," he added, with little change seen in the calorie count of either drinks or desserts.
"Before we started, I expected that people would reduce calories in desserts, but they didn't," he said.
"In interpreting that, it's important to remember that people will change their behavior when the information is new or surprising," he explained. "People may have already known that desserts are high-calorie and not cut back, but been surprised by the number of calories in appetizers and entrees, and so reduced calories there."
"Not large," he acknowledged, "but it's also a cheap policy, and philosophically it's attractive to allow people to make informed decisions."
What's more, "the vast majority of people support having calorie labels on menus, and those who were exposed to them expressed even higher support," he added.
And restaurant revenue did not seem to be affected by the type of menu offered, despite long-voiced industry concerns that calorie counts might undermine a food establishment's bottom line.
Lona Sandon is an associate professor in the department of clinical nutrition with the school of health professions at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She said the study makes it "apparent that some people at least pay attention" to labels.
But the move is just "one piece in the big puzzle of addressing the public health problem of obesity," she said.
"I do not see a drastic change in overweight and obesity rates anytime soon as a result of the menu labeling," Sandon added.
"On the positive side, it is making people more aware. It may also be making restaurant owners and chefs more aware, which could lead to them putting more healthier options on the menu," she said. "Between the labeling and changes in recipes, we could get more impact."

Rachel Lyon's "Self-Portrait with Boy"
Rachel Lyon is the author of the novel Self-Portrait with Boy. She teaches for the Sackett Street Writers Workshop, Catapult, Slice, and elsewhere, and offers private writing coaching. Most weeks she sends out a free writing/thinking prompts newsletter. She is a cofounder of the monthly reading series Ditmas Lit.
Here Lyon dreamcasts an adaptation of Self-Portrait with Boy:
There's a line in Self-Portrait with Boy that hints at this question. My protagonist Lu Rile is all dressed up for a gallery opening, and the gallery owner Fiona Clay comes over and quips, "Left Johnny Depp at home tonight, have you?" When Lu looks confused she laughs and says, "Come on, no one's ever told you you look like Winona Ryder?" It's a surprising moment for Lu, because she does not think of herself as attractive. In fact she think of herself as remarkably unattractive compared to the sexy art world types around her. But I've always thought of her as kind of sexy in her own right. She's short and thin, like Winona, with tousled dark Reality Bites-era hair. Today Winona Ryder is a little too old for the role, I guess, but it tickled me, writing the book, to think how funny that line in particular would be, if it were addressed to Winona Ryder herself.
Once I started thinking about who'd play Lu Rile, I got a little obsessive about casting the dream movie version of the book. One day in August I spent a couple of hours procrastinating, coming up with a dream cast. Since Lu is 27, I needed someone else for her role, someone short and young who could play unbeautiful, withdrawn, hyperfocused, self-conscious, passionate, fearsome—and, on top of all that, who could speak with the hint of a Massachusetts accent. One of my favorite actresses of all time is Tatiana Maslany, who plays so many different roles in Orphan Black. I'm sure she could do it.
I'd want Kate Fine, the grieving mother of the boy who dies early on in the book, to be played by a tall former model with an interesting face. Beau Garrett would be great. I like the idea of casting people who used to be big in the 90s, since this book takes place in 1991. Ethan Hawke would be perfect for the role of Kate's husband Steve Schubert—a jerky, cocky, handsome, broken man.
Then there are all the neighbors. So many neighbors in this book! I don't have actors for all of them, but I'd love Philip Philips, a beautiful gay cross-dressing painter, to be played by Bryton Eric McClure, who was Richie Crawford on Family Matters. Daniel Baldwin would make a great Bob Maynard, the alcoholic sculptor who lives on the third floor. I might cast Rene Russo in the role of Cora Pickenpew, the regal artist who lives in the so-called penthouse, and Jane Lynch as Nancy Meister, the radical Christian activist with the big gray dog. David Paymer could play their landlord Gary Wrench, an old New York type, if we could make him look a little older. And Edie Falco could play his daughter Carmela Mola, if we could make her a little younger.
As for the other supporting characters, I definitely imagine Seth Green in the role of Chad Katz, Lu's annoying boss at the health food store. John Turturro would be an excellent Gideon Isaac, who's the unnerving, hyperintellectual, pompous yet playful headmaster at the private school where Lu ends up teaching. Wayne Salt, the wealthy, manipulative, one-legged Navy veteran and real estate developer, would have to be played by a middle-aged white guy with a bit of a menacing affect. I think of James Spader or John Malkovich. And Catherine Keener, another of my absolute favorites, would make a pitch perfect Fiona Clay.

Edwynn Houk Gallery is delighted to present a selection of vintage prints by the British photographer, Bill Brandt, from the collection of the artist's family. An opening reception will be held Thursday, April 4th, from 7-9 pm. The exhibition coincides with the major retrospective that is currently at the Museum of Modern Art, Bill Brandt: Shadow and Light (until August 12). Edwynn Houk Gallery has exclusively represented the Estate of Bill Brandt for 30 years.
Bill Brandt (British, b. Germany, 1904-1983) is widely acknowledged to be one of the most innovative photographers of the twentieth century, with a professional career spanning over 50 years. Working in a variety of styles and genres – from photojournalistic documents of English society in the 1930s and life in London during World War II, to portraits of England's artistic elite, and finally to his surrealist and ground breaking nudes of the 1950s – Brandt's diverse output as a photographer reflected the wide variety of his interests. Consequently, Brandt cannot be reduced to a single style or look. The prints on view will clearly articulate this variety.
This exhibition will present photographs from his family's collection, many of which will be on view for the first time. It will include prints that explore British society, taken during the time of his first two publications, The English at Home (1936) and A Night in London (1938). Throughout the 1930s and 40s, his photographic dramatizations focused on the vast differences between the social classes and decidedly English types, seen in "Parlourmaid at a Window in Kensington," 1939, and "Barmaid at the Crooked Billet Tower Hill," 1939. The strong influence of Brassaï's "Paris du Nuit" can be felt in his "Soho Bedroom," 1934.
The journalistic assignments during the War laid the foundation of his subsequent career, with portraits of writers ("Dylan Thomas and his Wife Caitlin, in Their Room, Manresa Road, Chelsea," 1944), and artists ("Eye Portrait, Henry Moore," 1960) as well as English landscapes ("Stonehenge under Snow," 1947). It is in these photographs that Brandt's shift away from the purely documentary to the more poetic can be keenly felt. A bewildering and beguiling atmosphere permeates, compounded by Brandt's own reticence. He quietly insisted that the images should speak for themselves.
Finally, in the 1950s, Brandt gained renown as an artist and not just a photographer, with his stunning and unforgettable nudes. The mastery of the female nude has long been considered an important threshold for a photographer, and it's Brandt's creative use of shadow, reflection and a wide-angle lens for a dramatic, almost surrealist, perspective that makes his nudes so distinctive and unique. Brandt had done some work in fashion photography in the late 1940s, but like Man Ray and Erwin Blumenfeld who before him in Paris had done fashion work, Brandt often had more interest in the model than what she wore. His radical reworking of the genre can be seen in "Belgravia London," 1953 and "East Sussex Coast," 1957.
Brandt was born in Germany to an aristocratic British banking family. Suffering from tuberculosis as a teenager, he spent seven years recovering at a Swiss sanatorium. It is there that he first took up photography. As a young man, he lived in Vienna and then in Paris, where he worked in the atelier of Man Ray. Finally, in 1934, he relocated to Britain permanently. Brandt continues to be considered Britain's greatest photographer of the modern era, and certainly one of the major forces in the elevation of photography as an art form.

Q: start multiple processes parallelly I have an array of processes, and I have to implement all of them parallelly. As the number of processes depends on the size of the array, how do I carry out this question? I'm assuming I have to use fork() or threads but I am not sure how. And how do I return immediately after the process has been carried out? Thanks!

A: First let's get a few things straight:

*

*fork() is on POSIX systems the system call to split one process into two. The child process will be indicated by a return code of 0, and the parent by The Pid of the child (returning immediately while the child may be created/executing/dying). Aside from that, the two are essentially identical, which means the child needs to carry out the specific sub-processing (usually by means of execve()ing) another binary), while the parent wait4()s the child. Another option is to not wait4(), but instead listen for SIGCHLD, sent when the child terminates.

*Multiple threads all happen in the same process. Meaning that the sub processing is carried out by code blocks/functions in the same address space.
It's not clear from your question - so - If your array of processes is essentially an array of command lines, you use fork() and execve(), above. If it's an array of functions, use threads.


Comedian/actress Crista Flanagan has developed her craft with notable guest appearances on television shows such as "Curb Your Enthusiasm," "The Practice" and "ER." She was a series regular on the television show "You've Got a Friend." Flanagan has an extensive background in theater, including a one-person show titled "But wait.I have Impressions!"
Flanagan received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Irvine, where she sharpened her theatrical skills in plays including "Fool for Love," "The Time of our Life," "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Marriage of Figaro" and "Oklahoma!"
Flanagan currently lives in Los Angeles and this is her third season on MADtv.
When store owners get all mad when I tag their property.
When I can't get seated faster in restaurant. Come on! I'm on a television show, people!
Homeless people who look like they're asleep, but when you get close, they cough!

Amnesty International UK / Groups
Talk by Sapna Malik at the next meeting (20th May 2013)
Posted 8 May 2013, 11:47am By
At our next meeting, Sapna Malik will give a talk entitled - "Striking Back at the Empire: Holding Her Majestie's Government to Account for Colonial Wrongs and Unlawful Conduct during the 'War on Terror'.
Sapna has over 14 years' experience, specialising in bringing international claims and group actions. She is currently representing former Libyan dissident, Abdul-Hakim Belhaj, and his wife who allege that the UK government was complicit in their unlawful rendition back to Libya, where they were subjected to brutal treatment. She recently settled a related claim brought by Libyan Sami al-Saadi and his family against the British government and has previously represented former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Binyam Mohamed, in a civil action against the British Security Services for alleged complicity in his torture and unlawful treatment, which resolved out of court in 2010.
Sapna is also leading a team representing over 300 Iraqi citizens who claim that they were subjected to unlawful detention and treatment by British forces in Iraq, with approximately 200 of the claims resolving since mid-2011. Sapna also represented the family of Baha Mousa (deceased) who was unlawfully killed in British detention in Iraq, and nine Iraqi citizens tortured alongside him that resulted in a global award of £2.83 million and official apologies from the Armed Forces Minister and the British Army. Sapna continued to represent the victims at the Baha Mousa Inquiry, which reported in 2011, together with Phil Shiner of Public Interest Lawyers.

Q: Calling .Net function from IronPython [VS2012] I'm trying to call a .Net function from IronPython(VS-2012)
.NET Function:
public int GetData(uint numberOfSamples, float[] iBuffer, float[] qBuffer){..}

IronPython:
# Here's my code in IronPython
numSamples = 1024
from array import array
iData = array('f')
qData = array('f')

GetData(numSamples, iData, qData)

The Last line will throw the following exception, (from Locals Window -VS2012)

How do I fix this?

A: You can pass an array of floats (which are System.Single) like this:
iData = System.Array[System.Single]([1.0, 2.0, 3.0])
qData = System.Array[System.Single]([4.0, 5.0, 6.0])
GetData(numSamples, iData, qData)

EDIT: In case you would like to preallocate array and have no actual python content, use:
iData = System.Array.CreateInstance(System.Single, 1024)

A: Though I accepted Pawals answer, I ended up using like this
iData = Array.CreateInstance(System.Single, 1024)
qData = Array.CreateInstance(System.Single, 1024)

I found from this article.


Life insurance is far from simple.
What's right for you -- term or whole life -- is a very personal decision, said John B. Kelly, a certified financial planner in Folsom, Calif., and author of "The Investor's Caddie." Your choices depend on your personal goals and values concerning money and what it can do for your family, your business or your legacy.
You will need to consider: the purpose of the coverage, whether it's a permanent or short-term need, the proper amount of coverage and your health status.
With term life insurance, you pay a set premium every month for a specific number of years. If you die, your beneficiary receives the policy amount. If you outlast your term insurance, you don't see the money again. Term insurance is less expensive initially.
Whole life policies, on the other hand, require a set premium, possibly for as long as you live. They also have an investment portion that accumulates a cash value, which can be borrowed against or paid out. Whole life -- so-called "permanent" insurance -- requires a higher premium because of the insurance and savings portions.
For these reasons, Kelly recommends a risk analysis by a qualified insurance professional to thoroughly understand your situation.
If, for example, your life insurance need is for business purposes on a temporary basis, you may wish to "rent" the coverage using term insurance. You have the coverage as long as you pay the premium; in effect, renting the benefit for the period needed. You build no cash value.
If you need coverage for other business issues -- such as retaining valued employees, funding buy-sell agreements or creating supplemental retirement benefits -- whole life coverage can help with those concerns.
If your insurance needs are solely family-related, you also want to consider whether the coverage is temporary or permanent. If you are concerned only about covering a mortgage, certain debts or replacement income for your family if you were gone, then term insurance may be best.
Whole-life insurance can deal with those temporary needs, but also be a resource to cover retirement, long-term care, college educations, weddings, special needs and other expenses.
No one solution applies to everyone, Kelly said. You may find, for instance, that "convertible options" best serve your needs. These policies allow you to switch from term to whole-life if your needs change, regardless of your health status.
Again, the choice of life insurance depends on the purpose, the time frame and the goals to be achieved. You will want to discuss this with insurance and/or accounting professionals who can help you assess the cost-benefit considerations. Additionally, you may need to consult a lawyer and/or a certified public accountant, especially if you are considering philanthropic or legacy goals.
You can find useful information at websites such as Bankrate.com or Money. msn.com, which offer basic insurance explanations and calculators to estimate coverage amounts.

Weekend's Guide to Limestone Comedy Festival 2017
By Bryan Brussee
Published May 31, 2017 8:13 pm Last updated May 31, 2017 11:48 pm
The fifth annual Limestone Comedy Festival runs from Thursday to Saturday. Here are our picks for the must-see comedians this weekend.
The political provocateur behind CNN's "United Shades of America," W. Kamau Bell will open the fifth annual Limestone Comedy Festival. He first gained attention with the FX late night talkshow "Totally Biased," for which Chris Rock was an executive producer. He currently is the co-host of the podcasts "Politically Re-Active" - which features Limestone co-headliner Hari Kondabolu - and "Denzel Washington Is the Greatest Actor of All Time Period." The former deals with American politics and the ideologies that shape them, and the latter should explain itself.

The essential New York comedian comes to Bloomington.

Former Springboks hooker Naka Drotske was in critical condition in hospital on Friday after being shot during an armed robbery outside the South African capital Pretoria.
Drotske, a member of the 1995 World Cup-winning squad, was at his brother's property in Kameeldrift when three men broke into the house on Thursday evening, police told local media.
"There was a struggle whereby one of the men was shot at," police spokesman Kay Makhubele said.
Drotske suffered severe blood loss after being shot three times and was undergoing emergency treatment at the Netcare Montana hospital in Pretoria, reports said.
His business partner and fellow former Springbok Os du Randt was also at the scene of the robbery, but was unhurt.
"Naka was shot and is currently in critical condition in hospital. We wish him a speedy recovery," South African Rugby said on its Twitter feed.
English club London Irish for whom Drotske played for two years tweeted its horror at his predicament.
"Our thoughts are with former London Irish player Naka Drotske after this shocking news, we wish him a speedy recovery," tweeted the club with a shamrock icon.
The magnificent Sevens
Whether you're there for the scrummaging or the socialising, Dubai's annual rugby fiesta is one of the highlights of the UAE sporting calendar. This is the remarkable story of an event that showcases sport at its joyous best
Drotske won 26 caps for South Africa, scoring three tries.
He was reserve hooker when South Africa hosted and won the World Cup in 1995, making just the one appearance, one year after the end of apartheid.
He had become first choice hooker four years later when the Springboks reached the semi-finals, playing in five of their matches, losing to eventual winners Australia.
He later coached his domestic team, the Cheetahs, before pursuing a business career.

Sir Michael Caine has joined the mounting rebellion over tax hikes by warning that Britain faces an exodus of businesses and wealthy individuals.
The actor, a previous tax exile, warned the new coalition any new tax rises needed to be 'economical and not become emotional'.
Sir Michael's intervention is embarrassing as he was one of David Cameron's leading celebrity backers during the General Election campaign.
Sir Michael, 77, who is worth an estimated £45 million first quit Britain in the 1970s after income tax hit 82 per cent, but returned after Margaret Thatcher slashed them.
In an interview with the BBC, he said he was 'concerned' about how the Government spends people's hard-earned money.
The star of Zulu, Alfie and The Italian Job, told BBC Radio4's Today programme: 'My main worry about tax is not to do with how much tax I pay, it is about what they do with it.
'I left the country for eight years when tax was put up to 82 per cent. You didn't get the 82 per cent tax from me for eight years. You didn't get any tax at all from me for the next eight years.
'But apart from that, over the next eight years a quarter of a billion dollars worth of movies were made outside this country instead of inside it and that was just from one stupid, loud-mouthed moronic actor.
The Oscar winner added that he once told Tony Blair 'you can't tax people who have enough money for air fare'.
Sir Michael admitted that he would not flee the country for a second time because he did not want to be separated from his three grandchildren.
The actor also risked embarrassing Mr Cameron further by admitting that he secretly wanted senior Liberal Democrats in the Government before the election.
Sir Michael is one of Britain's most vocal critics of high taxation.
Last year, he attacked Labour after the former chancellor Alistair Darling unveiled the 50p top tax rate.
He said at the time: 'We've got 3.5million layabouts laying about on benefits, and I'm 76, getting up at 6am to go to work to keep them. Let's get everybody back to work so we can save a couple of billion and cut tax, not keep sticking it on.
'You're saying to poor people "let's tax those rich gits" and I understand that. You slice up the cake, give everyone a chance, but don't destroy the people that are making the bloody cake."

An Unlikely Winter Visitor
A young gray seal – about three feet long and forty pounds – meandered its way around downtown Edgartown before New England Aquarium volunteers were able to guide it back to the sea.
Tom O'Hanlon
Cottage Street in Edgartown, with its white picket fences, brick sidewalks, and manicured hedges, has many familiar sights in the summer: early morning cyclists in tennis whites, strolling tourists with cameras, and beachgoers walking to and fro with coolers and chairs in tow. In the winter much is the same – minus the cyclists, tourists, and beachgoers, who are replaced by carpenters, painters, and caretakers. So in the winter, a visitor of any kind tends to stand out, and last winter one particular traveler stood out more than any other. This off-season tourist was a young gray seal.
The story begins with a call to come to a house where I'd been helping repair a deck. Across the street a carpenter had been setting up for work in the still morning chill and had heard odd animal sounds coming from behind a fence. Peering over the gate into a small enclosed courtyard, he was shocked to see the gray seal pup lying in the corner beside a stack of firewood.
The carpenter had already dialed the New England Aquarium's marine mammal stranding number, and by the time I showed up, they were asking if he was sure it was a seal. So I took a photo with my phone and e-mailed it to them; less than a minute later, the voice on the phone said, "That's a seal all right; we'll send someone right over." So I kept an eye on the little guy until they arrived. After about fifteen minutes, Dave Grunden, the Oak Bluffs shellfish constable, and his wife, Sharry, showed up expecting a waterfront home with a seal in the yard, but they were surprised to see this three-foot, forty-pound pup so far up Cottage Street.
The closest open water is Edgartown harbor, presumably where it started the inland trek. I could imagine the seal climbing the steep sandy boat launch and going over North Water Street to get to Cottage Street, then continuing down and crossing Fuller Street and winding up in this house's courtyard. We assume it had slid under the front gate and was stuck in the corner, where it had probably spent the night slumbering. The rescue crew, seeing this wasn't an easy shoo-the-seal-back-into-the-water situation, asked me to watch it while they went to get their animal transport gear (a dog crate). I stayed outside the courtyard in an effort to keep the seal calm and not cause any stress.
Not long after they left though, the persistent pinniped decided it was time to continue its Edgartown tour, finding its way over a tarp-covered pile of lumber and through a back gate. Once out of the courtyard, it started to move with some sense of purpose – but not urgency. How seals get around on the ground, even the beach, is in complete contrast to their agility in the ocean, where they seem to fly through the water. On dry land, it's as if the entire back half of the animal is paralyzed, as it lunges its belly forward, gaining about six inches per lunge.
Once in stride, navigating around neighboring garages, sheds, and gardens, the perambulating pup disregarded me as long as I kept a comfortable distance. It was then I felt privileged to be a part of this odd journey. When the seal had been in the courtyard, passersby would stop and show concern, but now that we were on the move, it was just the two of us. I began to hope the seal would make it back to the water on its own before being rescued.
A few more turns, a shortcut through the shrubs, and the furry fish-eater broke out onto Cottage Street's sidewalk, looking both ways before moving onto the pavement – and away from the harbor. As it passed each house, the seal would pause to rest or to take it all in and, with an apparent seal of approval, advance to the next house. Finally, after forty minutes of travel, it reached the intersection of Cottage and Pease's Point Way and stopped – at the stop sign – before hanging a right.
Both our experiences turned after this corner. Just when I thought (and hoped) it would head through Sheriff's Meadow to the beach, the rescue crew drove up with their gear. One minute later, there were ten people gathered around, all with questions of concern. "Is he lost?" "Is he sick?" "Doesn't the road hurt his belly?" "Won't he be all alone if you put him back?" "Is that fur?"
The new group of seal watchers helped to calmly and gently maneuver him into the crate under the direction of the trained rescue crew. Five minutes later, the cage was on Fuller Street Beach, and when presented with an open door, the seal headed out – right back toward town. After about fifteen minutes of coaxing, with the help of some wooden panels, the rescue crew guided the seal safely to the natural habitat of the tidal line. After spending about an hour and a half following this wayward wanderer, I like to think it was not sick or lost, but an intrepid young explorer, out for a jaunt in town before rejoining his pod.


"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" barely made it out the door before most of Sierra Entertainment's slate was canceled following the merger of parent company Vivendi Games with Activision.
"The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" barely made it out the door before most of Sierra Entertainment's slate was canceled following the merger of parent company Vivendi Games with Activision. If it was any further away from release, this uninspired, by-the-numbers action game would surely have gotten the axe. Sierra couldn't have picked a more forgettable swan song than an adaptation of the latest iteration in the blandly epic Mummy franchise that's as dull to look at as it is to play. Sales won't come close to matching the pic's solid bow.
In lieu of anything noteworthy, developer Eurocom does a little of everything, and none of it very well. "Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is two parts "Tomb Raider" clone, one part mindless punch fest, one part shooting gallery, and one part repeating boss battles. The Wii version throws in a few motion-sensing gimmicks (Pull doors! Yank chains! Turn cranks!) for an extra bullet point on the back of the box.
The puzzles are old hat to anyone who's laid hands on a game controller, consisting of dangling, jumping, shimmying and lever pulling. Puzzles aren't puzzles so much as dull busywork to open doors. It's almost always obvious what needs to be done and how to do it.
The action follows the set pieces from the movie, alternating between control of Rick O'Connell (voiced by film star Brendan Fraser) and his son Alex. In between are cut-scenes that will make no sense to anyone who hasn't seen the movie. The only surprising moment comes when the player takes control of an abominable snowman who has trundled down from the Himalayas to mercilessly pummel some Chinese soldiers. After that, fighting a three-headed dragon is kind of anticlimactic.
The gunplay is simply trigger mashing combined with hands-off auto-targeting that rarely locks onto the right thing, although the challenges are easy enough that it doesn't matter for about three quarters of the game. But then the difficulty level spikes dramatically as enemies progress from relatively squishy Chinese soldiers to terracotta warriors, many perched on high walls and firing down arrows. Without an easy way to target these bad guys, later battles are sloppy and overbearing. Since the game doesn't save any progress within a level, players will have to power through these sections — as well as the challenging final boss battle — all at once or not at all.
Given that the Playstation 2 and Wii are "last-gen" systems, the animation and graphics are passable, at least until they try to present the epic battles from the end of the movie. But as long the game sticks to simple corridors or caves, it looks as good as can be expected. If "Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" were a better game, the challenges to upgrade the weapons might have given it some replay value. But that's hard to consider without having much play value the first time around.

USI Defeats Tennessee Tech in Fall Season Opener
USI Men's Rugby Club posing by the final score
Cookeville, Tenn. - The USI Men's Rugby Club opened its fall season with a hard fought victory against Tennessee Tech University that resulted in a final score of 31 - 22.
The team traveled down to Cookeville, Tenn. this past Saturday Sept.7 to participate in a friendly match against Tennessee Tech.
The first half of the physical match up resulted in some key plays being made by rookie players of the club.
In the opening minutes of the match first half, rookie backline player Tyler Duke scored the first try of the match by intercepting the opposing team's pass and running the ball in for USI's first score. The freshmen Duke then went on to score a second try off of a fast break.
USI's third try came from another rookie backline player, junior Jacob Lewis, who scored a try off of a scrum in Tennessee Tech's red zone.
Tries from both Duke and Lewis were their first for the USI Men's Rugby Club. At half time the score of the match was 21 - 12.
Tennessee Tech launched into the second half with an aggressive attack in an attempt to take the lead. This led to USI scoring only one try in the later half of the match which was made by junior backline player and president of the club, Doug Rose.
Junior backline player Justin Mizen attempted to score off of two penalty kicks in the second half of the match. Mizen would convert one of two for the day.
USI scored all of its conversion kicks for the day, each kick was taken by senior backline player Tyler Pipes.
The win marks the first victory in the clubs fall season.
"This victory really gives us the confidence that we need going into the league season," Rose said. "A victory like this against a school that's higher ranking than the Division III schools that we normally play shows that all of our hard work we've been putting into the preseason practices is paying off."
The club's next match is Saturday Sept. 14 at home against DePauw University. It will be the first league season match for USI.

Home » Yet Another Mad Cow in Canada; Lax Feed Ban Blamed
Yet Another Mad Cow in Canada; Lax Feed Ban Blamed
Prepared Foods January 17, 2005 enewsletter
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that Canada's national surveillance program has detected bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in an Alberta beef cow just under seven years of age. As part of its surveillance program, the CFIA has control of the carcass. No part of the animal has entered the human food or animal feed systems, according to CFIA.
The agency assured that public health remains protected through the removal of specified risk material (SRM) from all animals slaughtered for human food. SRM are tissues that, in infected animals, contain the BSE agent. This measure is internationally recognized as the most effective public health measure against BSE.
The CFIA is investigating what the animal may have been fed early in its life and the source of the feed. The infected animal was born in March 1998, and the farm of origin has been confirmed. Based on preliminary information, feed produced prior to the introduction of the 1997 feed ban in Canada remains the most likely source of infection in this animal.
Canada's science-based BSE safeguards to protect public and animal health have been designed with the understanding that BSE is potentially present in a small and declining number of animals. This includes animals born before and shortly after the 1997 feed ban. The government of Canada continues to believe that the ruminant to ruminant feed ban introduced in 1997 has limited the spread of BSE and remains effective.
Initial testing on the animal was conducted by Alberta authorities. Results were inconclusive, and samples were then sent to the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health in Winnipeg. The definitive diagnosis was made using the internationally recognized "gold standard" test for BSE.
Since the surveillance program was enhanced in January 2004, Canada has tested more than 24,000 high-risk cattle. This targeted approach has detected an additional two BSE-positive cattle.
This current investigation is independent of the BSE investigation on the case which was confirmed on January 2, 2005.
In related news, cattle feed banned in 1997 was allowed to be consumed after the anti-BSE measure went into effect, a federal food inspection official has disclosed.
While a manufacturing ban of higher risk feed containing animal protein was enforced, there was no effort to recall any of the existing product already distributed, said Dr. George Luterbach, a veterinarian for the CFIA.
"You must remember, in 1997, Canada had no (known) BSE animals," said Luterbach.
"It was accepted that in a short period of time the feed would be out of the system."
That would have left potentially tainted feed in warehouses, stores and on ranches, he said.
The admission came during the press conference into the third Canadian case of Mad Cow Disease, involving the cow born in 1998.
The cow's owner, Wilhelm Vohs, said he normally fed his livestock home-grown grain, but added he did supply his cattle a purchased feed supplement in the spring of 1998.
Though the ban went into effect due to concerns over the BSE connection to animal protein feed, Canadian officials did not consider the risk to be high at that time, said Luterbach.
"(The ban) was done as a precaution," he said.
"You have to frame it in terms of where we were in 1997 ... it was not done in the face of a large threat or findings."
He refused to say the ban's implementation should have been handled more strictly.
Canadian agriculture officials were confident they had purged any possible BSE-tainted animals in the 1980s, he added.
Regulations to ensure feed mill equipment was fully cleansed of the banned feed also might not have been airtight, said Luterbach.
Vohs, whose livelihood has been thrown into turmoil by the BSE discovery, refused to blame any possible lapse in enforcement.
"It's hard for me to judge -- I'm a cattle producer, not a feed mill manager," he said, noting feed has not been conclusively cited for the case of BSE.
An industry spokesman said the latest episode should not impact the planned March 7 re-opening of the U.S. border to Canadian livestock.
"We will be more than willing to stand up to any scrutiny," said Darcy Davis, chairman of Alberta Beef Producers.

Residential and commercial building at 2 Soola St.
The modern architectural design of the building and especially its articulated façade on Kalevi Street reflects the restless lifestyle characteristic of the city centre. At the same time, such a well-articulated surface is ideal for designing terraces and balconies and reduces the visual volume of the façade. After all, high-end apartments in the city centre are expected to have terraces or balconies. The façade, made of aluminium composite panels, is red and shifting the location of windows from floor to floor gives the impression of a pattern. Unlike the façade, articulated sections are finished with composite panels of modest grey colour. The new building has seven floors above ground and a semi-basement level to accommodate a parking area. The first three floors are designed to accommodate also commercial premises and offices with separate entrances to significantly reduce the use of the stairwell and the elevator connecting all floors of the building. The entire building has one stairwell and one elevator. The lowest floor for residential premises is the first floor. Upper floors are for apartments only. Detailed views of the building are available from three sides. Apartments can be accessed either by car or on foot via an entrance in Soola Street. Behind the lower façade along Kalevi Street are commercial premises and behind those technical premises. Office premises on the first and second floors are also accessed via Kalevi Street. Separate sanitary facilities are designed for commercial and office premises. The building accommodates a total of 34 apartments of which 9 are one-bedroom, 14 two-bedroom, 9 three-bedroom and 2 four-bedroom apartments. All apartments have a hallway, a living room and kitchen combined, bedroom(s) and sanitary facilities. Most apartments feature a balcony, French balcony or a roof terrace.
