Beth Sigall's passion for education advocacy was sparked 15 years ago, when her oldest son was diagnosed with autism. From that day Beth has worked in many different roles to help improve our schools.
Her advocacy began as an attorney in private practice in Arlington, Virginia where she helped families navigate the special education system. After relocating to Washington, Beth became involved in various leadership roles in local and Washington State PTA, and was recognized as the Lake Washington PTA Council Outstanding Advocate of the Year. She also helped successfully advocate for a first-in-the-nation law to provide para-educators with better training and a potential career path to become certified teachers.
Beth's advocacy in Washington also includes extensive work with leading statewide groups The League of Education Voters and Stand for Children (Washington), where she advises state officeholders and others in support of policies to improve our schools.
Beth also serves as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for foster children in King County Superior Court, where she identifies resources to address the needs of children who have been abused or neglected, and recommends placement plans for them moving forward.
Beth graduated from Catholic University's Columbus School of Law and earned her bachelor's degree from Duke University. She lives in Redmond with her husband, Jule, and their three children.
"Beth is more than an advocate—she is a champion for children. From her work supporting smart education policies in the state legislature, to her role supporting the needs of foster children, Beth works tirelessly to ensure all children of Washington state have a voice."
—Julie Freguia | Redmond Parent and Eastside Business Owner
"Eastside Education Network provides a valuable parent and student-centered perspective on education issues of importance to the Eastside community. Beth in particular brings a unique combination of advocacy and community leadership skills that help parents become better advocates."
– Christie Malchow | Mayor, City of Sammamish
"Beth's commitment to providing all students, especially students who need assistance, the best education possible has been inspirational. Her leadership is marked by a positive, fair minded, intelligent, articulate, energetic (very few can match her), and cheerleader approach to political advocacy. She not only gets others involved in her advocacy but she leads by example (showing up when few others take the time or effort.) She is a rare gem in the political environment."
-Doug Nelson | Government Relations Director, PSE/SEIU 1948


The owners, who run an interiors boutique and work in the City, bought this four-bedroom detached 1960s house in Kent in 2007.
Their previous home was just around the corner, so they had regularly passed by the property and its distinctive 1960s style had set it apart from the neighbouring Edwardian properties.
What the house did have in its favour was space. The property was in a conservation area, so it could have been tricky to secure planning permission for an extension, but it already had a double garage at the back and a conservatory built onto the front.
The main priority was to bring in more light with larger windows and sliding doors on to the garden. The couple also wanted to open up the ground floor and create a central kitchen/dining room at the heart of the house, but with concealed doors so they could close off adjacent rooms if needed.
The badly designed conservatory, which had no access on to the garden, was torn down and a new living room built in its place, with the couple's bedroom on the floor above. The double garage was dismantled and in its place the couple built a large 'den', complete with a built-in bar and huge TV.
The open-plan kitchen/dining area is the heart of the house. Originally a series of small, dark rooms, the couple knocked down walls and installed sliding doors to create a sense of light and space.
The budget for the kitchen was tight, so the couple chose inexpensive Ikea units and splashed out on the stove and a granite work surface. Wooden floorings add warmth, texture and style to this light and spacious kitchen.
The living room is part of a two-storey extension built on the site of the old conservatory. Concealed sliding doors mean the living room can be separated from the dining area when needed.
The house lacked original features so the owners were keen to add some stand-out elements to give it personality. The purpose-built display unit is perfect for showcasing vintage finds and an ingenious way of creating an eye-catching feature.
A large corner sofa and chairs dressed with an assortment of bright cushions create a lively mood for this sociable space beyond the kitchen.
More bespoke shelving on either side of the bed makes an alternative to bedside cabinets. Shallow picture ledges on the wall are a smart way to display pieces of art and can be switched around and added to from time to time.
Wooden crates were painted to match the chest of drawers and mounted on the wall to use as box shelving for toys.
The aqua-blue accents in the bathroom were inspired by the bold ocean-design floor tiles. Mirrored mosaic tiles, a collection of glassware and sleek, twin basins add a glamorous touch.


A Lewis acid (LA) can accept a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond. The Lewis acid and Lewis base theory, named after the American chemist Gilbert Lewis, is one of several acid-base reaction theories. Therefore the term acid, per se, is ambiguous; it should always be clarified as being a Lewis acid or a Brønsted-Lowry acid.
An electrophile or electron acceptor is a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid usually has a low-energy LUMO, which interacts with the HOMO of the Lewis base. Unlike a Brønsted-Lowry acid, which always transfers a hydrogen ion (H+), a Lewis acid can be any electrophile (including H+). Although all Brønsted-Lowry acids are Lewis acids, in common usage the term Lewis acid is often reserved for those Lewis acids which are not Brønsted-Lowry acids.
The reactivity of Lewis acids can be judged from the Hard-Soft Acid-Base concept. There is no universally valid description of Lewis acid strength, because Lewis acid strength depends on the specific Lewis base. One model  has predicted Lewis acid strength based on a computational model of gas-phase affinity for fluoride, and out of a selection of common isolable Lewis acids they found that SbF5 had the strongest fluoride affinity. Fluoride is a "hard" Lewis base; chloride and "softer" Lewis bases are very difficult to study because of limitations of the computational methods, and Lewis acidity in solution suffers from the same restriction.
Some common Lewis acids include aluminium chloride, iron(III) chloride, boron trifluoride, niobium pentachloride and the lanthanide triflates such as ytterbium(III) triflate.
Lewis acids may be corrosive. Zinc chloride, which is corrosive, particularly towards cellulose (paper and cotton), is a notable example of Lewis acidity itself causing a corrosive effect. As water is Lewis basic, common Lewis acids react rapidly with water to give hydrates, which are Brønsted acidic. Thus, solutions of many common Lewis acids are also Brønsted acidic. Hydrates have strong chemical bonding between the Lewis acid and water, and it is usually not possible to "dry" them, i.e. the hydrate forms a separate chemical compound. For example, attempted drying of a metal chloride gives vapors of hydrogen chloride and metal oxychloride.
An ate complex is a salt formed by reaction of a Lewis acid with a base whereby the central atom increases its valence . Often in chemical nomenclature the phrase ate is suffixed to the element in question. For example, the ate complex of a boron compound is called a borate. Thus trimethylborane and methyllithium react to form the ate compound Me4B-Li+. This concept was introduced by Georg Wittig in 1958 . Similarly Lewis bases form onium salts.

Couples generally do not have much conflict at this stage of the cycle as each is really trying hard to impress the other person.
Going slowly in making any decisions about a relationship are more likely to be better ones than moving quickly (unless it is clear that the relationship is not a good fit).I tend to keep my focus on this site primarily to things that are as broadly applicable as possible -- things you can do no matter who you are or where you are in life to do better with women.But the other day I had a reader write in asking about dating in college, and I thought the topic might be on worth getting a post up on.The initial meeting may take place over the internet, through friends, in a church or social group, at a party or bar or any one of a myriad of many different places.Different arenas for meeting allow for different opportunities to get to know each other and see if there is enough curiosity or interest to take it to the next level which would involve arranging a second or third meeting." This stage may last for 3 or 4 months depending on the individuals and their maturity, experience and self-understanding.
Towards the end of this stage, and hopefully at other times throughout it, it is not unusual for questions of "is this the right person for me" to emerge.
Pushing for an answer; however, may cause real problems in the relationship.
Each person needs to listen to their own inner voice and wisdom.

The Design and Science of Patio Dining During a Pandemic
Adam Rogers
Public health experts think Covid-19 risk is lower outside, and restaurateurs want to fill tables. It's an easy solution—except for all the hard parts.
Architects Marites Abueg and her husband Keith Morris have designed 50 restaurants in the Bay Area over the past two decades. Maybe more—Abueg says she has lost count. So when just about all of those restaurants had to close because of the Covid-19 pandemic, she wanted to help. The Berkeley, California-based team offered five hours of pro bono work to each of their clients, trying to figure out if moving the furniture, putting up plexiglass barriers between tables, or setting up a delivery window would let a restaurant keep a little income flowing despite social distancing, mask wearing, and restrictions on indoor mass gatherings. "I looked at so many different diagrams all around the country, and a lot of them focused on suburban locations with a big parking lot," Abueg says. Those kinds of eateries could move some kitchen and serving functions close to the front door and push tables outside. Most of the Bay Area spaces Abueg knew best could not.
Everything You Need to Know About the Coronavirus
Here's all the WIRED coverage in one place, from how to keep your children entertained to how this outbreak is affecting the economy.
By Eve Sneider
But then, city officials across the country started announcing that they'd allow restaurants some leeway for outdoor dining—maybe they'd close streets to automotive traffic, or fast-track "parklets" in former streetside parking spaces. Abueg, Morris, and their partners at Studio KDA fielded a request from a Berkeley city councilwoman who'd been one of the first to pitch outdoor dining in the city. (Yes, it's just as chilly and foggy as San Francisco.) Might Abueg be able to come up with some drawings to show what streets in the city would look like full of cheery tables and decorations? How would it all actually work?
It's pretty hard, actually. Cities around the US have started putting restaurants into plein air for the summer. Boston opened outdoor dining in the famed North End on June 11; San Francisco published formal guidance on what was allowed that same day, and restaurants opened their patios June 12. New York will likely do the same by the end of the month, and people are already crowding the sidewalks and streets in front of restaurants in anticipation. But the constraints of street layouts, abiding by the Americans with Disabilities Act (which requires ramps and wide enough spaces for people using mobility aids), and owners' worries about patrons who may still want to drive (and park) on the roads that would get converted to dining space have made opening outside almost as complicated as staying open inside.
Outdoor dining is supposed to solve two problems. The first is that, while scientists still don't understand the exact mechanisms of how Covid-19 moves from person to person, they're pretty sure that it takes some combination of three routes: large droplets from coughing and sneezing, surfaces like door handles (or things like menus and cutlery), and small aerosolized "expiratory" particles that come from talking or even breathing. Most epidemiologists and public health experts agree that the risk of airborne transmission is much smaller outdoors, where fresh air blows away particles and lessens people's exposure to them.
But outdoor seating is as much about business as it is about pathogenesis. Since so many of the outbreaks of Covid-19 have been in enclosed spaces crowded with people, the rules for reopening often require restaurants to cut the number of people who can be in the dining room—sometimes by more than half. That's bad, because restaurants already operate on the thinnest of margins, packing in as many people as possible while still allowing cooking and serving to happen, and ideally not compromising the ambience. If a restaurant owner can add seats outdoors, maybe they can stay solvent. "In a high-rent area like San Francisco, it all is based on how many people you can serve and how many tables you can get in a space," says Seth Boor, a Bay Area architect specializing in restaurants. "You just can't make your numbers work at a 30 percent occupancy."
In mid-May, Boor and Charles Hemminger, another architect with a restaurant-heavy practice, put together some designs to see if they could get enough socially distanced seats into a dining room to stay in business. San Francisco hadn't yet issued its specific guidance for how restaurants could open, but the architects had the gist. They turned bars into prep stations, because they couldn't figure out how to give people bending an elbow enough elbow room. They moved tables farther apart, thought about barriers, and took over patio and parking spaces where the restaurants had them.
They learned a few things. Risk of infection is a combination of how much exposure someone gets and how long they get it. And while customers might spend an hour or two in a restaurant, staff are there all night. "Patron-to-patron infection is a thing we're worried about, but a bigger risk is patron-to-staff," Boor says. "Those are the people you're concerned with protecting. If they get sick, the whole operation goes down."
Without significant changes to how much street space a restaurant is allowed to take up, Boor and Hemminger couldn't really make outdoor dining plausible. "In a restaurant operating on the typical dining model of table service, I have not yet seen a case where outdoor seating would make up for the amount of lost indoor seating due to distancing," Boor says. "Even the ones that come close require some pretty big assumptions about making that outdoor seating usable, like building something like wind screens and heating elements." Few cities in the US have year-round pleasant weather in the evenings, whether that's because of heat, humidity, cold, or rain. So restaurants trying to expand their borders are going to have to build some kind of nimbus of infrastructure to minimize the picnic-in-the-rain vibe. Of course, the more enclosed an outdoor space is, the more it is like an indoor space—with all the concomitant risks.
Many restaurant owners are hoping that cities will give them more space by taking it away from cars. That would include "parklets" that replace streetside parking. (These require strong barriers around their perimeter and a floor built level with the sidewalk, because streets often slope downward toward curbs to redirect rainwater and debris into gutters). And then you have to figure out how to actually build the things. Abueg says San Francisco's rules only let a parklet extend 6 feet into the street; Berkeley seems likely to ask for barriers 2 feet thick. That only leaves 4 feet of space for tables.
All of this suggests that the best plan might be to forget about piecemeal parklets and just close streets altogether. Pedestrian-only plazas are common in many other parts of the world, but less so in car-happy America. The mayor and city council of Berkeley initially promised a huge number of street closures to accommodate outdoor dining, but the drawings Abueg and Morris came up with depict a much reduced and more realistic vision—short stretches of converted street, with maybe a block here and there fully closed to automobile traffic. They even encountered resistance to the idea of closing a particularly obvious candidate, Center Street, which extends west from the UC Berkeley campus into the city's downtown. Center is lined with restaurants that run the gamut of cuisines and price points; it has a museum at one corner (with a skyscraping hotel under construction). The stretch is a block from a subway station, and the area is full of students. Seems perfect, right?
But Abueg says she got pushback from a landlord there, just as she did at another Berkeley retail street also identified as a candidate for closure. Restaurant owners are clamoring for expanded dining, but sometimes the people who own their buildings are just used to the idea of customers arriving in cars. And some of the restaurants have come to depend on pick-up and delivery services like DoorDash and Uber Eats, with drivers who want to pull up out front. And many of San Francisco's and Berkeley's restaurant districts also have high populations of unhoused people who live and sleep on public sidewalks. Restaurants have never had to take responsibility for those spaces. "In places like that, where the open seating will be shared by multiple restaurateurs, who will be responsible for the clean-up or for unhoused folks?" she asks. "So that got complicated."

Protecting the staff will still be a challenge, even if everyone is eating outside. Abueg's sketches anticipate that there will be no table service; people will order from windows at the restaurants and carry their orders to tables, like at a mall food court. "That's an assumption we made with the concept, that the fewer touchpoints the better, instead of a server going back and forth," Abueg says. "You clean up after yourself, and it would also require that everybody would have an app on their smartphone to see a menu and order, so you're not standing queued up together."
Yet even if the diners are mostly outside, restaurants still need kitchen workers and other staff. And nobody's really sure how to make the inside of the building safe for them. Aerosol research just hasn't focused on infectious disease. "Prior work was probably focused, rightly so, on the fume hood, the kitchen hood," says William Ristenpart, a professor of chemical engineering at UC Davis who studies aerosols. That is, ventilation aimed at getting aerosolized grease, heat, and smoke from the stove and ovens up and out. "You didn't want smoke going out into the room, or kitchen workers breathing smoke all day. But now that every customer who walks in is a potential source of expiratory aerosols that could be infectious, that changes things dramatically."
One approach might be to bring more fresh air into the kitchen and dining room. Restaurants tend not to have lots of windows and doors into the kitchen, unless it's an "open kitchen" meant for diners to look into. Another option is an air-conditioning system that filters the air, though that costs money if outside air needs to be heated or cooled—and takes even more power if the holes in the filters are smaller. Newer research suggests that the ultrafine HEPA filters used in, say, health care settings probably aren't necessary; filters a few grades shy, like a MERV-13, could do most of the necessary work without overtaxing a restaurant's HVAC system or its electricity bill. Probably. "The problem with this disease is that we don't really know what the infectious dose is. You've got infected people putting out an aerosol that will have some virus in it, and that can vary quite a bit. We know there are people who for some reason shed a lot more virus than others," says William Bahnfleth, an architectural engineer at Penn State who chairs the Epidemic Task Force of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers. "So we don't really have a way to calculate how much ventilation we should have."
One of the most famous cases of indoor transmission of Covid-19 took place in a restaurant, in fact—in Guangzhou, China. People seated between an air conditioner and an exhaust fan got sick, but other people seated nearby—and the waitperson—did not. But multiple studies and analyses disagree about the role that air-conditioning played. Did it spread the virus, or was the problem a lack of fresh air piped in? Was the mode of transmission large particles or aerosols?
The problems of how air and virus mix in a ventilated but enclosed space remain unsolved, as do the problems of keeping a restaurant open, no matter where the diners are sitting. "What I love about designing restaurants is the sense of community," Abueg says. "That's what I miss, and that's the piece that just saddens me about all of this. If we permanently turn into some takeout model and reduce contact, all of the fun of restaurants has just been washed away."
This piece was updated on 6/12/20 with the full name of the task force Bahnfleth chairs.

None of us have ever tried to hide the fact that we love Knee Deep. They rank highly with us because of their excessive-hopping skills: they make the entire gambit of IPA taste about as hoppy/dank/attenuated as you've ever had, all while maintaining a good level of distribution.
And this takes the cake as their most potent offering. Just look at those stats! FUG THIS SHIB. But it's actually not as oppressive as I thought it would be, so in a sense it's not all that "insane" of a beer -- unless you're planning on making a night out of it. I would recommend against that, Stretch.
There are a few things plainly obvious here: ultra high ABV layered over a not-so-dry body. And you can be damn sure the level of hops ain't gonna disappoint. Actually, they've achieved a wonderful balance between all of those things, so much so that I would venture this would beat Expo in a blind taste. The hops impart a fantastic tropical flavor that makes me think I'm at the Tonga Room wailing down 15 dollar buckets of blue blackout juice. NOICE!
Well hot diggity looks like we got ourselves a Ken Caminiti style beer-slugger. Although, instead of calling this a IIIIPA, as the wonks would have it, let's just call it an after-a-couple-sips-I'm-drunk-PA. And I'm thinking this wont die from going too hard on speedballs.
I want this inside of me!


It's no secret that most people's ideas of the Middle East are formed by broad generalisations inspired by newspaper headlines, and misleading and often one-sided narratives coming out of international media. But UAE-based podcast Kerning Cultures is on a quest to shift those very ideas by telling "stories of culture, history, science, current affairs, and entrepreneurship from the Middle East and its diaspora".
"We grew up in a Middle East that has often been politicised by media. Whereas, our lived experiences have always been more nuanced," says co-founder, co-host and business director Hebah Fisher.
From stories about Al Ain's public health system (episode Birthplace of the UAE) and an Afghani kitemaker who immigrated to the US (Fight or Flight) to the intimate setting of a spoken word poetry session in Dubai (Poetry, Deconstructed) and street art in Beirut (Reviving Hamra Street), each episode opens a new window of understanding into the complex narratives of the region, promoting empathy and an organic cultural exchange.
A particularly interesting and divisive episode saw the team speaking to US President Donald Trump's American supporters who are of Middle Eastern descent, before the election. "Today we're going to mess with your heads a little bit," says one of the co-hosts at the beginning of Mid East for Trump. The episode speaks to a few Trump supporters, both Muslim and Non-Muslim, one of whom is Hussain Khorram, an Iranian Muslim American living in Seattle, who was raising funds for the Trump campaign. The episode is a good example of the team's continuing efforts to tell balanced and nuanced stories, especially when it means having to put their own political beliefs aside.
Kerning Cultures was co-founded by Fisher (co-host and business director) and Razan Al Zayani (co-host and executive producer) two years ago. Both co-founders are based between Seattle and Dubai respectively. The rest of the team includes sound engineer Ramzi Bashour (USA), and producers Dana Ballout (Lebanon/USA), Ahmad Zeid (Ireland), Alex Atack (UK/Dubai), Alexandra Chaves (Dubai), Jackie Sofia (USA), Lilly Crown (USA/Jordan), Rabiyah Shabeeh (Dubai) and Percia Verlin (USA).
While they don't disclose the number of listeners they have currently, Kerning Cultures has listeners from the US, Egypt, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and Portugal.
Let's go back to the beginning. Why was Kerning Cultures conceived?
Razan Al Zayani: Kerning Cultures was conceived out of a purpose to tell the narrative of the Middle East complete with all its subtleties. The Middle East is often painted with one broad brush stroke, but there are so many factors that shape people's lives, belief systems, culture, collective histories and so on, and we ultimately wanted to bring this to the forefront in the form of captivating audio stories.
Had either of you produced podcasts before?
Hebah: Before Kerning Cultures, no. We have both been longtime storytellers — but audio was a new medium for us, and there certainly was a learning curve. Especially because podcasting is so new to the Middle East at large; we're one of only a handful in the UAE.
What is the advantage of telling the stories you want to tell through the podcast format?
Fisher: Podcasting draws on a longtime tradition of oral history in our region: sitting around a majlis, fire, or dinner table and sharing stories. Now, that tradition is available in curated, on-demand form. We believe Kerning Cultures is at the forefront of a storytelling renaissance. Moreover, radio still reaches more households in the Middle East and North Africa than video — audio is still king, and bringing high quality production to it is really exciting for us.
Al Zayani: Audio is a very intimate medium. Long-form audio stories have continued to stick with us because we've been using our imagination to construct scenarios, stories and characters while listening. Podcasts are also on-demand and can be listened to at any time, making it a very great medium to produce high quality content in. We are also living in a country where people often spend a long time commuting, what better way to pass the time than to learn about something new?
How have people who are not from the Middle East reacted to the podcast?
Al Zayani: Some have said, 'Listening to this podcast is like experiencing those parties when all of your smartest, 'worldliest' friends are deep in discussion.' We love dinner parties like this. If anything this was one of the best compliments we could possibly get.
How difficult (if at all) was it to get people in the Middle East region to listen to a podcast, given its nascent development here?
Fisher: Sometimes we start our conversations with the basics of 'what is a podcast', but the concept is quick to pick up from there. Once people realise they can download these episodes from the convenience of their phones and listen to stories during slow traffic jams on Shaikh Zayed Road, they get pretty excited.
Tell us about your production process. How do you pick the stories you want to tell and how do you go about turning them into an episode?
Fisher: Often listeners will pitch us stories, or we'll be curious about something and start researching it. We aim to share stories that reshape the way we think about our world, so we're always looking for stories with depth and complexity. We start by doing a lot of research and interviews, and then set about scripting and producing the episode. Lastly, our talented sound engineers bring the audio to life with originally composed tracks or recordings from the places featured in the story.
Al Zayani: We tell stories we are often curious about, that spark complex answers and even more complex questions from our team. We look for stories with strong characters that are able to articulate the intricacies of their lived experiences. Some story ideas have come from listener suggestions; some have arisen as a consequence of searching for other stories.
How long do you usually spend producing one episode?
Fisher: Our longest turnaround has taken us 6+ months of research, multiple in-person interviews, and production. Our shortest cycle took us a week and a half.
Finally, what advice do you have for people who are looking to begin their own podcast in the region?
Fisher: The fantastic thing about podcasting is it's very easy to get into. You can begin recording from your smartphone or your laptop, and there are countless free audio editing softwares and hosting platforms when you're ready to share your podcast with the world. It's important to know what kind of style and purpose you're aiming for with your show — there are thousands of podcasts across all sorts of topics and styles, so make sure you're offering something with a unique spin to build you audience. As a sincere offer to Gulf News readers, if you want to get into the podcast space, reach out to us and we'll offer whatever guidance we can. We've been building a great network of podcasts across the Middle East and North Africa and we can all learn from each other. Find us at info[at]kerningcultures.com.

Q: MinGW doesn't produce warnings I have successfully installed MinGW on a Windows 7 32bit machine, and have tried to compile a simple program using either the command line or the MinGW console.
The code has an intentional error in a printf statement:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main( void )
{
    printf("%d\n" , 3.14 ) ;
return 0 ;
}

The command gcc -Wall hello.c gives a correct warning: hello.c:7:2: warning: format '%d' expects argument of type 'int'...
But the command gcc -std=c99 -Wall hello.c doesn't give any warning.
Both create an executable a.exe ( that runs and gives the same result ).
(Interestingly a command gcc -std=gnu99 -Wall hello.c gives the warning.)
I don't know if this is a bug, or did the installation go wrong somehow, but both seem unlikely since the compiler works and successfully compiled a larger project( but the  same warning of course omitted when using -std=c99 ).
I must be missing some information.
(ps: If someone has a new MinGW install, please test this.)
gcc version 4.8.1 (GCC)
Update 1:
Defining _GNU_SOURCE before including stdio.h removes the warning even with  gcc -Wall hello.c.
Update 2( might be less relevant ):
Compiling
 printf("%lf\n" , 3.14 ) ;

-std=c99 flag outputs: 0.000000
-std=gnu99 outputs: 3.140000
And compiling:
 printf("%f\n" , 3.14 ) ;

-std=gnu99 and -std=c99 output: 3.140000
Update 3:
Functions that seem to be affected are: printf, fprintf, snprintf, sprintf.

A: The problem with the lack of warning when using the std=c99 option looks like it's because MinGW 4.8.1 preprocesses stdio.h a little different for the printf() family of functions when -std=c99 is used compared to when -std=gnu99 is used.
Note: I'm looking at MinGW 4.8.1 from TDM - I think other distributions might differ in these details.
MinGW has had some compatibility issues with formatting floating point values because of its historic reliance on msvcrt.dll for the C runtime and the fact that MSVC uses a 64-bit representation for long double while gcc uses a 96-bit (or 128-bit on x64) representation.  See gcc: printf and long double leads to wrong output. [C - Type conversion messes up] for some details.  More recent versions of MinGW have provided thier own implementation of the printf() family of functions (with a __mingw_ prefix on the name) in libmingwex.a to solve those problems.
The header files _mingw.h and stdio.h configure whether or not the libmingwex.a implementations or the msvcrt.dll implementations will be used.
It appears that if ANSI compliance is requested, MinGW will use the libmingwex.a implementations (there are a number of other ways to get this configuration too - look at the headers for details). Wiring up a user call to printf() to the __mingw_printf() implementation in libmingwex.a is done by stdio.h defining a static inline implementation of printf() that is a thin wrapper around a call to __mingw_vfprintf().  Apparently the -Wformat doesn't get applied to versions of printf() family functions that the compiler doesn't believe to be part of the library (a reasonable assumption - the compiler doesn't really know anything about those functions).  This problem can be fixed by applying the appropriate function attribute (for example: __attribute__ ((format (printf, 1, 2)))) to the static inline wrapper functions.
The other problem you found, where printf("%lf\n", 3.14) prints 0.000000 when using std=c99, looks to be a bug in the libmingwex.a implementation of __mingw_vfprintf(). It seems that __mingw_vfprintf() mistakenly interprets "%lf" to mean the argument is a long double. I'm not too surprised by that - I always have to look up whether %lf means double or long double.

Scott Strickland took another step in his comeback from Tommy John surgery on Friday, lifting weights for the first time since the operation.
Strickland also has begun doing manual resistance. The next step is bending his arm in a throwing motion and cocking it back, essentially going through the pitching motion without a ball.
The 26-year-old reliever refuses to set a target date for his return, not wanting to force anything, but he does have one day in mind: September 17. That's the first time he can pick up a ball and do some light tossing.
"That's the date circled on my calendar," he said.
* Mike Piazza continued his comeback yesterday, running between a series of orange cones spaced about 15 feet apart in short right field. Piazza also took batting practice, spraying hard-hit line drives all over the field.
* Although he's still a strong bet to be promoted at some point this season, Norfolk second base prospect Danny Garcia has slumped lately, seeing his batting average sink to .279.
Meanwhile, 26-year-old closer Orber Moreno continues to dominate at Norfolk. The right-hander, who owns a 1.36 ERA and a 40-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, has impressed with his arsenal of fastball, changeup and slider.
Moreno has only begun to throw on back-to-back days recently and his ability to bounce back appears to be the main question the Mets want to see answered before promoting him.
"I think it's a matter of stamina and durability more than any mechanical thing in particular," Rosenfield said.
* Timo Perez's MRI revealed no significant damage to his strained left calf and the outfielder can continue to play.

Q: How can I get rid of Windows Update reboot prompt? I want Windows Update to automatically download and install updates on my Vista machine, however I don't want to be bothered by the system tray reboot prompts (which can, at best, only be postponed by 4 hours).
I have performed the registry hack described here to prevent Windows forcibly rebooting my machine, which is a good start. However, is there any way to get rid of the reboot prompts altogether, or decrease their frequency?

A: Just turn off the Automatic Update service. It will restart the next time you reboot so you'll still get the updates done.

A: Running this in a command window will stop it until the next reboot.
 sc stop wuauserv

A: I recommend disabling the auto update.
As a developer the last thing you need is to have random updates done to your workstation, especially while you are working.   I set aside a time every month to go through the process manually.  I avoid doing it if I am in the middle of testing something really important or up against an immediate deadline.

A: Not sure if it is the same for vista, but worth a try.
On Windows XP, you can modify a group policy setting to change how frequently it re-prompts you. (start -> run type gpedit.msc)
Look under Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update
The setting you want is called Re-Prompt for restart with scheduled installations.
The default is 10 minutes.
You can also try modifying the No auto-restart for scheduled Automatic Updates installations setting found in the same location.

A: To clarify what ehogue said:
Start->Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services->Automatic Updates->Right-click->Stop.

A: In Windows XP, after windows has been updated, I use the following trick: run this command

pssuspend wuauclt

pssuspend is a free sys-internals tool.
This way, you will not be prompted about restart.

A: I will risk some down-votes here by saying: this seems a little bit schizophrenic, though a lot of people ask for it.
If you want Windows to download and install the updates, but not complete the install process by rebooting - what's the point? Why not simply turn of AutoUpdates in the first place? if you don't even want the OS to tell you it would like to reboot, then how can you know that you need to, y'know, reboot?
Patches which call for a reboot are not fully active until that reboot is complete; thus your system remains vulnerable to the unpatched behaviour. If you are a human who goes to the bathroom or eats meals, I just do not understand the mentality of wanting to patch but then postpone the reboot for days, weeks, months. Better to stay unpatched!

A: just open taskmanager and right-click on "wuauclt.exe" en clcik stop or delete or something that should keep that program from running.

On the island of Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands, Spain, lies the steep, narrow GC-210. Due to its low traffic volume, it is also regarded as the island's most isolated road. Additionally, it appeared in the Fast & Furious 6 movie, so enthusiastic drivers will have a journey to look forward to. Therefore, if you are an enthusiast driver, you have many reasons to come here and test it out.
Where is the GC-210 road located?
The difficult GC-210 road is a steep and nerve-wracking route that is situated in the central region of the island of Gran Canaria in the province of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands, of Spain. It is reputed to be the island's loneliest road. It was shown in Fast & Furious 6 and served as the backdrop for several sequences.
The entire route is paved. It is 34 kilometers (21 miles) long and travels from La Aldea de San Nicolas de Tolentino to Tejeda through Artenara, in fact, it's the island's highest settlement and one of its oldest, at an elevation of 1270 m (4165 ft).
Another dope road in Spain is the TF-21 road on the Canary Islands.
Also, you can locate this road on the map below:
Enlarge the map
Information about the GC-210 road:
The path is not simple. It's challenging to ride since it's hilly, twisting, and in some places too tight (impassable for two cars to travel together). Its highest point is 1378 meters (4520 feet) above sea level. This treacherous yet lovely route is extremely tiny and empty.
The gradient ranges from 4% on average to 9% in some places. There are 32 hairpin twists on the route. Moreover, there are often rock slides in this region. When the road is wet, it is particularly slick.
The road is well known because a part of the Fast and Furious 6 movie was filmed there.
Fast & Furious 6 film on the GC-210 road:
The sixth entry in the Fast and Furious series, sometimes referred to as Furious 6 or Fast Six, was released in 2013 and was directed by Justin Lin. In fact, the GC-210 road serves as the setting for a high-speed pursuit sequence in the movie.
Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson characters in the movie engage in a high-speed chase with a bunch of criminals who are attempting to flee in a stolen military vehicle on the GC-210 route. A furious pursuit is depicted in the sequence, in which the automobiles jump over bridges and avoid other cars. The chase is made even more exhilarating by the road's twisting and mountainous terrain.
GC-210 road preview:
You can obviously have a preview of that drive. Here is a YouTube video that shows a part of the road:
How to get to this road?
This road passes through Artenara as it connects La Aldea de San Nicolás de Tolentino with El Rincón. Also, the tallest and one of the oldest communities on the island, Artenara, rises to a height of 1270 m (4167 ft).
You can visualize how to get there on this approximative map of the drive:
Is GC-210 road open?
The road is open all year round. If you can rise fairly early and leave Aldea as the sun is still rising, you will be rewarded with the most incredible change in the rock's color as the colors go from burned umber to reds, browns, and tans with the intensifying light.
It is a narrow, beautiful road. Indeed, great sights and a little adventure may be found throughout the route. The majority of individuals will need between one and two hours to complete the GC-210 without stopping. Presa Caidero de la Nia and Presa del Parralillo are two reservoir dams that may be seen beautifully from this insane road.

'Joshua Nkomo mentored Mugabe'
19 Jun 2017 at 07:25hrs | Views
OPPOSITION Zapu leader Dumiso Dabengwa has claimed that President Robert Mugabe would have remained an ordinary teacher and political nonentity had he not been recruited and catapulted into the limelight by the late former Vice-President Joshua Mqabuko Nkomo during the early days of nationalism.
Addressing delegates during Nkomo's Centenary Memorial lecture at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa on Saturday, Dabengwa said it was ironic that Mugabe later plotted Nkomo's downfall shortly before and after Independence.
"Nkomo recruited Robert Mugabe into nationalist politics. Nkomo catapulted Mugabe into national prominence during the NDP (National Democratic Party) and later Zapu. Mugabe had been working as a teacher in Ghana when Nkomo paid visits to that country for events such as the All-Africa People's Congress in 1958," he said.
"When Nkomo was exploring the acceptability of Mugabe into the NDP, he sent and instructed Ackim Ndlovu and me (Dabengwa) to meet Mugabe at the Bulawayo Airport and take him to Nkomo's home in Pelandaba. Mugabe was later introduced to the party members at a rally in Bulawayo, and he became the NDP's secretary for information and publicity."
The former Zipra intelligence supremo said Zapu was formed after NDP was banned by the colonial regime in 1960.
"This party was formed when I was serving a six-month sentence at Grey Street Prison in Bulawayo for making subversive statements after riots and skirmishes that were named by their war cry, Zhii!!!," he said.
"Nkomo continued to be the president of the new party, Zapu, and Mugabe then became the secretary-general, (James) Chikerema and George Nyandoro were still in detention in Gokwe where they were kept for four years after the banning of the ANC). Heightened political activity by the nationalist movement led to the initiation of talks between Southern Rhodesian government and Zapu to discuss electoral reforms amongst other issues that would lead to "one man one vote."
He said Nkomo later announced the rejection of the Southern Rhodesian Government proposals which frustrated attainment of majority rule. "Thus the talks collapsed. At the conference to report on the collapse of the talks, the youths were very angry and decided there should be no further negotiations with the Southern Rhodesian regime.
This is when Nkomo authorised the youths to engage in civil disobedience activities. Some of us understood that to include violence and sabotage, leading to Zapu being banned in December 1962. After the banning of Zapu, the leadership decided that forming parties only for them to be banned was costly and futile. They opted to continue resistance without forming another party," Dabengwa said.
"The resolve not to form another party and to consider a government in exile was made complex by the formation of a splinter party in 1963: the Zimbabwe African Union (Zanu) under the leadership of (the late) Reverend Ndabaningi Sithole, but including others like Robert Mugabe, (late) Enos Nkala, Leopold Takawira and Herbert Chitepo."
He said Nkomo responded by calling for a special congress at Cold Comfort Farm near Harare which resulted in the re-affirmation of the decision not to form another party but went on to set up the People's Caretaker Council (PCC).
Dabengwa said Chikerema, Nyandoro and Daniel Madzimbamuto at this point resumed their political activity because they had been released from detention.
"Nkomo appointed Chikerema to head a department that was called "Special Affairs" to oversee the training and deployment of cadres to infiltrate the country and fight the Rhodesian regime," he said.
"Nkomo had become convinced by arguments from the youths to upgrade our civil disobedience by getting capacity to challenge the oppressive machinery of the Rhodesian regime. The logical step was to train for sabotage operations and later to embark on training for armed struggle. I was among the youth who were recruited to go outside the country for training with the likes of Ackim Ndlovu, Ethan Dube, Ambrose Mutinhiri and others."
He said Zapu external office in Lusaka under Chikerema included Jason Ziyapapa Moyo, George Silundika, Nyandoro, Edward Ndlovu and later on Jane Ngwenya. He said Nkomo and the rest of the executive had been arrested and they spent the best part of 11 years either in Gonakudzingwa or Whawha as political detainees.
"PCC (ZAPU) and Zanu detainees were only released from detention to facilitate preparation for talks in Zambia that were meant to bring about a ceasefire. These talks which were eventually held were being brokered by Zambia's Kenneth Kaunda and South Africa's PW Botha, in a train which was parked on the Victoria Falls bridge.
Participants in these talks were Zapu, Zanu, and the African National Council (ANC of (the late) Bishop Muzorewa) versus the Rhodesian regime. When these talks failed, both Nkomo and Mugabe decided to remain outside the country and pursue the armed struggle," he said.
Dabengwa said Mugabe and his gang later towards independence became untrustworthy to Nkomo by grabbing top party leadership positions ahead of him.

Panther Metals PLC (NEX:PALM) Annaburroo Gold Project Application, Australia
abm June 3, 2019
Panther Metals Plc (NEX:PALM) is pleased to announce that it has put in an application for licence EL32140, named Annaburroo Gold Project by the Company, in the Northern Territory, Australia. The licence covers an area of 150km2 and is located approximately 105km southeast of Darwin.
Darren Hazelwood, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"I'm delighted we have been able to extend our reach into Australia, and particularly the Northern Territory, so quickly following the announcement of our maiden application on 20 May 2019.
As we see the acceleration of tier one producers teaming up with exploration focused companies Panther shows the benefit a remarkably strong board brings in the identification of value adding assets."
Annaburroo Project Exploration Licence Application ("ELA") located in the highly-prospective Pine Creek Orogen, Northern Territory, Australia.
ELA covers an area of c. 150km2 and contains several highly prospective structural targets and gold geochemical anomalies, many of which require follow-up.
Newmont Australia identified the Donkey Hill prospect on the southern end of the Annaburroo Dome, which yielded 61.2 g/t Au and 50.8 g/t Au from grab samples and 5m @ 6.68 g/t Au in trenching.
Limited previous drilling at Donkey Hill provided near surface intercepts including 2m @ 3.10 g/t Au.
Description of Project
The Annaburroo Gold Project ("the Project") comprises a single licence application (EL32140) covering an area of 150km2, located 105km to the southeast of Darwin, Northern Territory. The Project is well-located near infrastructure and the Toms Gully (20km away) and Rustlers Roost (27km away) deposits, which are owned by China Hanking Holdings Limited. Toms Gully is a high-grade underground mine containing 1.1Mt @ 8.9 g/t Au (0.3 Moz); operations are expected to recommence in 2019. Rustlers Roost contains 51Mt @ 1.0 g/t Au (1.6Moz) and is one of the largest gold projects in the region. It is expected that this licence area will be explored by Panther contemporaneously with the Marrakai Gold Project, which is located 32km away to the west.
The Project is located within the Palaeoproterozoic Pine Creek Orogen ("PCO"), proximal to the Mount Bundey granite and Mount Goyder syenite. The host rocks in the area are metamorphosed (greenschist facies) sandstone, siltstone, mudstones, tuffs and sulphidic/carbonaceous units of the Palaeoproterozoic South Alligator and Mount Partridge groups, which represent highly prospective but variable hosts for gold mineralisation in the Pine Creek Orogen. These units are folded throughout the region to create several doubly-plunging anticlines, some showing evidence of limb faulting. The area around these intrusive rocks is known to contain several uranium (e.g. Quest 31 to 33) and gold prospects, and may also have potential to host an unusual style of hydrothermal Au-PGE (±U) mineralisation encountered at the Coronation Hill (4.85Mt @ 4.31 g/t Au, 0.65 g/t Pd and 0.19 g/t Pt), Gold Ridge and Sargents North deposits found elsewhere in the PCO. The presence of suitable host structures and stratigraphy (particularly carbonaceous units), proximity to high-heat producing intrusions and spatially related uranium and gold mineralisation is suggestive of potential for this style of deposit.
Despite the potential for the area to host various styles of gold mineralisation, exploration since the early 1970s has been sporadic and geographically limited. Only two phases of work during the past fifty years have involved significant field activities with several other operators having conducted only cursory exploration, field reconnaissance and data review. During the late 1980s Newmont Australia identified the Donkey Hill gold prospect from several grab samples with results up to 50.8 g/t Au and 13.7 g/t Au from different veins. Follow-up trenching recorded five-metre composite chip samples up to 6.68 g/t Au. This work led to a short Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling programme (four RC holes totalling 244m) with a best intercept of 2m @ 3.10 g/t Au from 28m in hole RCD-3.
No further work of significance was undertaken in the area until Rum Jungle Resources proceeded with an airborne magnetic, radiometric and electro-magnetic survey in the late 2000s, which was followed up by field reconnaissance and a geochemical soil survey of 665 samples. Grab samples of up to 61.2 g/t Au from veins at the Donkey Hill prospect and 0.27 g/t Au from a large outcropping quartz vein 3.8 km to the north of Donkey Hill, highlighted the prospectivity of the broader "Annaburroo Dome". This work was followed-up with six RC holes for a total of 666m designed to test parts of the Donkey Hill prospect and three geophysical anomalies approximately 5km to the north. The results of this drilling were equivocal, particularly given the earlier successful Newmont drilling results, with a best intercept of 5m @ 0.35 g/t Au from 86m in hole DHRC003.
Panther recognises that the Annaburroo Project is highly prospective for the discovery of orogenic gold systems. This is underpinned by the underexplored nature the licence area, which is characterised by highly prospective bedrock and potential host structures. The widespread post-mineral cover and the very limited drill testing to date suggests there is opportunity for gold deposits to have been overlooked in earlier exploration. Almost all of the previous drill-testing occurred in a limited area at the Donkey Hill gold prospect.

Q: create product Array which contains product of all elements of Array which are divisible by A[i] without using division operator Given an array and find product array where each element of Product Array is computed as follows:
B[i] = product of all the element of A which are divisible by A[i]

without using the division operator.
for example A = {2,4,3,7,8}
product Array = {32,8,0,0,0}
I try to  solve using O(n2) approach.for each number I search the array and check whether it is divisible by given number or not using (subtraction operation I performed division) then multiply all these numbers.
bool division(int x,int y){
  while(x>=y){
    x=x-y;
  }
  if(x!=0)
    return false;
  else
    return true;
}

int main()
{

  int n=5;
  int A[]={2,4,3,7,8};
  int prod[5];
  int mul=1;
  for(int i=0;i<n;i++){
    mul=1;
    for(int j=0;j<n;j++)
    {
      if(i!=j)
      {
         bool isdivisible=division(A[j],A[i]);
         if(isdivisible==1)
         {
            mul=mul*A[j];
         }
      }
    }
    if(mul!=1)
      prod[i]=mul;
    else
      prod[i]=0;
  }
  for(int k=0;k<n;k++)
    cout<<prod[k]<<endl;
  return 0;
}

A: something like:
std::vector<int> do_stuff(const std::vector<int>& a)
{
    std::vector<int> out(a.size(), 0);
    const int len = a.size();

    for (int i=0; i<len; i++)
    {
        out[i] = 1;

        for (int k=0; k<len; k++)
            if (i != k && a[k] % a[i] == 0)
                out[i] *= a[k];
    }

    return out;
}


It's December. The kids are still in school, with the holiday break still weeks away. Inside the house is breathing in, outside the chilly winds and bleak skies can make staying in a very attractive option. The silence can practically ring in your ears, can't it?
Ringing…ears? Oooh. Let's turn it around and make earrings! And since the squiggly-squirmy folk are elsewhere, why don't we remind ourselves of them with a style I call "Squiggly-Wiggly?
First cut a length of wire about 3" long. On one end, bend a very small spiral of about 1 ½ to 2 rounds. Use protected tips on your round nose pliers to prevent little gouges. I personally let the gouges happen, to add an interesting textured look.
Now is a good time to play with the color sequence a bit. You might like to put the blue seed beads next to the Capri blue bead, and the teal seed beads next to the teal bead, or the other way 'round might appeal to you more. Just string the beads onto your 3" wire and take a look. When you've decided, take the beads off the wire, and you're ready to start.
I opted to match the seed beads to the beads, so I'll give the directions that way.
The next thing you're going to do is string on a blue seed bead, the Capri blue bead, and another blue seed bead. Make a wire-wrapped loop at the top, ending with a sharp bend up and then a gentler bend down.
At about the ½" point, bend the wire back in, then back out again, and then back toward the bead another time, decreasing the length of your "squiggle" as you go.
Cut the wire off to the point at about ¼" beyond the last outer loop. You want to have enough left to make a round loop at the bottom. Play with this; yours do not have to look exactly like mine. Use your fingers to mash things this way and that to get the look you want.
Okay! Time for the next part!
Open the bottom loop of your earring wires, and hang your bead assemblies on them. Be sure to hang them "facing" opposite directions, to make a left and a right.
You'll notice I finished off the top bead differently, too, by using a tad more wire and wrapping it completely around the bead, to end in a tiny loop against the glass. Use your imagination, and may the Force be with you!
Are the kids home yet?
Those are so cute! Thanks for the tutorial!!!
those are great looking earrings!
I would like to know if I can link like this to you, including a photo, in the future. Or if you would be willing to allow me to post projects in full on the site - full credit will always be given to you, of course. It would be yet another source of traffic to your blog.
Please let me know, I would love to work with you further.

KRCH is a non-profit hospital, owned by the Foundation of the Church of Christ in Thailand (a national nondenominational grouping of protestant churches), and funded by a mix of patient fees and donations from organisations and individuals.
The Hospital Director is Dr Witoon Yongmethawut, and the Assistant Hospital Director and Hospital Business Manager is Mr Pranote Buskornreungrat (SB, GradDipTh, MA).
OR Manager Sriwilai and AN Taweelit
SN Kulap and SN Onn on the wards

KRCH is much more than a place for the sick and injured to come and get care – the hospital also seeks to promote wholeness through a public health program and through a program of evangelism and discipleship. Our major ministries at KRCH cover: patient care, public health, residential and community based care and rehabilitation, research, staff development and Bible teaching and evangelism.
Out-Patients Department
In-Patients Department
Public Health Unit
Tuberculosis Work
Tropical Disease Treatment
Staff Development & Workforce Planning
Sangklaburi Safe House
Candlelight Community Rehabilitation
The Out-Patients Department (OPD) serves approximately 60 patients per day / 12,000 visits per year. In addition to all manner of routine illnesses and injuries, diseases commonly seen in patients include malaria, tuberculosis, typhoid, dengue fever and HIV/AIDS. Patients include causalities of the Burmese civil war and occasional leprosy patients.
The In-Patient Department (IPD) serves approximately 1,800 patients per year. This includes displaced persons from the nearby Refugee Camp who are referred to the hospital by the International Rescue Committee for serious medical problems and surgery when they need care that cannot be provided in the refugee camp hospital. While the hospital is registered as a 25 bed hospital, it is capable of accommodating up to 40 patients when needed.
IPD work includes:
A busy surgical unit which performs 300 procedures a year. Surgical work includes orthopaedics, urology, obstetrics and gynaecology, plastics, ear, nose and throat, and trauma including landmine injuries and gunshot wounds. General anaesthetics can be administered when volunteer anaesthetists visit the hospital.
A delivery room where more than 100 babies are delivered each year.
As a Christian organisation, a core part of the hospital's ministry is to share the Gospel – the good news of Jesus – and to encourage those who are already Christ's followers to grow in their faith. This is undertaken through:
Encouraging the hospital staff in Christian discipleship through a daily staff devotional time. All of the hospital staff meet for half an hour of prayer, musical worship and Bible teaching at the start of each day. On Wednesday mornings, this includes a collection of money for giving to another Christian ministry.
Daily patient evangelism and pastoral ministry. In the Out-Patients Department, each morning patients in the waiting area hear the Gospel through music provided by the hospital band and through a presentation in Thai, Karen, Mon or Burmese. Later, while the clinic is running, Christian films are projected on a big screen and the hospital Chaplain and others circulate amongst the patients to minister to any pastoral needs and discuss the Gospel. In the In-Patients Department, patients receive film and recorded audio presentations of the Gospel, and personal visits from the hospital Chaplain.
Christmas and Easter evangelism. The hospital holds a large evangelism event for the local community and surrounding villages at Christmas and Easter. These evening events include music and a Gospel presentation, and are supported by local churches which follow up people who express an interest in the Gospel.
As a non-profit hospital in a rural location, it can be difficult to attract highly qualified new staff. For this reason, we are proactive about developing our existing staff and equipping future generations of local people to undertake and improve the ministry. The human resource development project includes the following elements:
We seek to provide scholarship funds for existing staff and promising local students to study nursing or other health professions, with each student contracted to work at KRCH for one year for each year they receive the scholarship.
Hospital staff provide tutoring in biology, physics, mathematics, and English, together with a program of work experience, for a group of local high-school students who are selected for their potential to apply for scholarship funds and later work in the hospital.
The Sangklaburi Safe House is a community health residential facility and rehabilitation clinic for adult and elderly non-Thai migrants or stateless people who have chronic physical or mental illness or disability, are isolated from all natural supports (i.e. no immediate family who can care for them), and have no income to pay for their necessary care.
Many of the Safe House residents have complex needs, and a number of them have no idea where they are from and would be unable to survive without the twenty-four hour support and care provided by the Safe House staff.
In March 2012 the Safe House was brought under the umbrella of the KRCH management structure in order to secure its future and ensure that it remains a sustainable community service.
Candlelight is a community-based rehabilitation project that provides a range of services to people with disabilities, and their families. These services include:
rehabilitation training, and facilitating access to services;
promoting community inclusion;
vocational training, income generation, and self-help groups.
In April 2012 the Candlelight project was brought under the umbrella of the KRCH management structure.
As a Christian organisation, we very much value prayer support for the hospital's ministry in serving the health needs of the community and sharing the Gospel.


And yes I am a furry. Haters can hate. I don't care.

What is a gpk file and how do I open a gpk file?
A WaveLab audio peak file is a file created by the WaveLab software, and these WaveLab audio peak files are implemented with encoding and compression specifications proprietary to Steinberg, developer of the WaveLab application. Steinberg also developed the GPK format as the format of these WaveLab audio peak files, which are created by the WaveLab program once a user opens an audio file with the program. The associated sound wave details of an audio file is stored in the newly generated GPK file to speed up the process of loading files unto the WaveLab program. The GUI (Graphical User Interface) of the WaveLab application, then displays visualized details and other metadata info for the user to analyze sound wave data associated to the corresponding audio file that was opened by the WaveLab user. The WaveLab default configuration for these GPK files is to leave these GPK files stored in a predefined directory, normally the same directory where the program files of the WaveLab program are found. Users can change this default configuration by selecting the option where the WaveLab program will automatically delete the associated GPK file once the audio file is unloaded by the user from the program.

Founded in 1902, the Society of Friends of Strasbourg Cathedral provides a forum, not just for its enthusiastic and committed members, but for all admirers of this superb building, which has been awarded World Heritage status by UNESCO.
The Society became a registered charity in 2001. With the help of private gifts and legacies, and also corporate donations, we contribute directly to conservation and restoration of the Cathedral.
Excursion to Cologne in 2014, with guided tour of the Cathedral's upper levels.
Every year, we organise a series of free public lectures on the Cathedral and its surroundings. We have special events to mark key dates and anniversaries, e.g. the recent colloquy on the Romanesque Cathedral, to mark the building's millennium. We arrange members-only guided tours of the Cathedral, often taking in the upper levels, e.g. the roof area, with its galleries, walkways and timbering, and of other notable Strasbourg buildings. Day and longer excursions to outside destinations are also on the programme.
Our biennial bulletin contains specialised articles and papers on the Cathedral. Publication of a new monograph on the building by leading experts started in 2010, and Volume I has already received a number of awards.
Finally, we promote research on the Cathedral, and the Madeleine Klein Prize for ground-breaking publications is one of our incentives. We are involved in various schemes to make the public at large more aware of the building and its history. One project, which we are funding with the Rotary Club, is a large-scale bronze model of the Cathedral to help sight-impaired visitors to form a clearer idea of its structure.
You can keep in touch with new projects and developments on our homepage.
The Society of Friends of Strasbourg Cathedral is an independent entity, and has no connection with any other public or private body. Membership subscriptions and publication sales are its only source of income. It is run by a dedicated team of unpaid volunteers. Its Steering Committee is elected by members and by representatives of the various bodies officially responsible for managing and maintaining the Cathedral. It meets regularly to plan the Society's activities, and comprises several sub-groups (Bureau, Reading Committee, Cultural Activities Committee, etc.).
Professor Marc C. Schurr has chaired the Steering Committee since 2013.
Paid-up members are invited to attend the annual General Assembly, at which decisions on current and future activities are taken.
The Society's activities were suspended in 1918, when the First World War ended, Alsace returned to France, and Johann Knauth was removed from office and later expelled to Germany. In accordance with French law, the Workshop Foundation's responsibility for work on the Cathedral was also transferred to the state. As a result, the Society was obliged to rethink its whole mission, which it did under the guidance of Abbé Joseph Walter (1882-1952), shifting its emphasis to research on the building by specialists and publishing their findings in the Bulletin de la Cathédrale de Strasbourg.
Hans Reinhardt, Joseph Walter and Etienne Fels, three Presidents of the Society.
Christ appears to Mary Magdalene, sixteenth-century stained glass window, presented to the Society by Hans Reinhardt.
In the period which followed the annexation of Alsace by the Third Reich, the Society's leadership dispersed and, even after the war, it needed time to regroup and start work again. The Bulletin was repeatedly behind schedule, appearing only at irregular intervals. Etienne Fels (1900-1970) took over as President in 1952, and was succeeded in 1970 by the distinguished Basel-based art historian, Professor Hans Reinhardt (1902-1984), who made sure that the Bulletin again appeared regularly. We still have in our office a small sixteenth-century stained glass window, which he presented to the Society while President.
François Joseph Fuchs, Director of the Strasbourg Archives, was elected President in 1975, and did much to illuminate the Cathedral's past, particularly by publishing numerous medieval documents. In 1994, he was succeeded by Jean-Paul Lingelser, under whose leadership the Society stepped up its efforts to involve the public, and helped to fund several restoration projects, including one focused on the stained glass windows in the south side aisle. Registered charity status, awarded in 2001, turned it into a full-scale fund-raising body. In 2003, shortly after celebrating its centenary, it moved to its present office. Jean-Paul Lingelser stepped down in 2013, handing over to Marc Carel Schurr, professor of art history at Strasbourg University.
Jean-Paul Lingelser (right), Honorary President, is congratulated by his successor, Marc Carel Schurr.
Anyone can join the Society. Simply download and complete the membership form , and return it to us with a cheque to cover your annual subscription. Members are kept regularly informed of the Society's activities (lectures, guided tours, excursions, etc.), some of which are open only to them. They receive the Bulletin free of charge as soon as it appears. Their card gives them free access to all Strasbourg museums, and to the Cathedral platform.

Cisco expands the benefits of the Apple device fast lane to macOS devices and developers.
In the mid '70s, the fine band the Eagles wrote a song that goes, "Life in the fast lane, surely make you lose your mind", which peaked at #11 on the Billboard 100. About 40 years later (yikes, I'm old), Cisco and Apple formed a partnership aimed at giving iOS business users a network "fast lane," providing an experience that would hopefully cause them to lose their minds (in a good way!) -- at least when compared to a more traditional mobile experience that is often inconsistent and at times frustrating.
The initial joint Cisco-Apple "fast lane" prioritized Cisco Spark and WebEx application traffic running on iOS devices over other types of data on Cisco networks. Also, iPhones and iPads automatically select the best Wi-Fi access point so real-time apps like VoIP and video have superior quality. Without the partnership, users could have a diminished experience, given that Wi-Fi is a shared medium and people watching March Madness or the latest Dave Michels–Zeus Kerravala video on the office network are consuming all the bandwidth.
Fast lane for all Apple devices -- The initial phase of the partnership focused on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad). Now macOS devices (MacBook, iMac) will enjoy the same benefits as mobile devices. Congested networks? No problem for all Apple devices on a Cisco network.
Simplified Cisco Spark and WebEx experience on iOS and Safari -- Cisco Spark and WebEx have finally been iOS-itized. When running iOS11, users can invoke either application from within the calendar. The process of flipping from calendar to home screen to launch one of the apps isn't difficult, but it does create needless steps, and over the past few years Cisco has been all about eliminating those needless steps. Also, iPhone and iPad users can now share their screens with other individuals in meetings. Further, another enhancement is casual users and guests of Spark and WebEx can now join meetings via Safari with full audio, video, and presentation capabilities.
Cisco will also use iOS APIs to integrate Spark voice and video into the iPhone, giving users a native experience. Instead of having to do everything in the Spark App, users can click a contact in the iPhone directory, favorites, or recently called to quickly make an enterprise voice or video call. Workers can also answer Spark calls right from the lock screen, use a connected headset, or switch between calls -- whether it's a cellular call or from Spark. This creates a seamless Spark–iOS experience where users no longer have to flip back and forth between the app and phone.
Cisco is also bringing "life in the fast lane" to developers though its DevNet program. I've long been a critic of Cisco's developer efforts (and I'm using that term generously), but a few years ago Susie Wee took over the program and has made it a success. In fact, just a couple of weeks ago Cisco held its first dedicated DevNet event, Create, which focused on Internet of Things, cloud developers, and DevOps individuals. Now Cisco is making it easier for iOS developers to integrate with Cisco services through the Fast Lane validation program.
Mobile applications are a key part of digital transformation, and as a result of the Cisco-Apple partnership organizations are now able to give better quality Wi-Fi connections and prioritize business-critical apps to Apple users on a Cisco network. The apps that matter will have priority over the ones that do not. The Fast Lane validation program isn't just for voice and video. Any iOS application that is deemed to be business critical can be tagged for QoS, optimized for Wi-Fi, and then prioritized in the fast lane.
Cisco DevNet now has a service for iOS developers to verify how these apps run on Cisco infrastructure without having to spend a bunch of money to build a test network. DevNet has made available virtual Cisco Aironet and cloud-managed Meraki labs to test QoS tagging. Currently this only works on iOS 10, but Cisco is working to make iOS11 and macOS part of the testing environment. With this validation program, developers can now experiment with the fast lane without incurring any costs.
Cisco has been talking up the partnership with Apple for a little over a year now, and while the initial set of announcements were certainly interesting, this set has a lot more meat on the bone as it expands the benefits to macOS devices and developers. Cisco has used the power of collaboration to help its customers realize the power of their own collaborative initiatives by continuing to improve the experience of its applications.

ered, went unchallenged.
Two days later, Hopkins ordered Captain Richard J. Murphy's Company F to cross the Song Ngan valley and assault the ridgeline extending along the southern boundary of the DMZ, the site of several suspected enemy mortar positions. After heavy air and artillery strikes, the company seized the western portion of the ridgeline under fire. As Murphy's Marines moved eastward, hidden NVA opened up with small arms and automatic weapons on the lead elements of the company. The enemy was well entrenched and dense vegetation made it difficult to spot the sources of enemy fire. Having fought its way into the middle of a large, well-laid out bunker complex, the company now found it hard to maneuver without taking additional casualties and leaving its wounded.
Despite overwhelming odds, Murphy's company extracted its casualties, reorganized, and following another heavy air and artillery strike, prepared to assault. Turning to his troops, platoon leader Second Lieutenant Steven P. Brodrick shouted: "All right Marines, take this hill and earn your pay!" Brodrick then led his platoon back into the enemy complex and maneuvered forward until he was killed by a direct burst of automatic weapons fire.11
Alerted earlier in the day to follow in trace of Company F, Hopkins quickly committed Company H to reinforce Murphy's Marines. Attempting to envelop the enemy complex from the north, it too ran into heavy enemy fire and a fierce firefight ensued. However, once Company H was able to bring its full firepower to bear, the enemy withdrew and by the time Company G moved in to reinforce its engaged sister companies, the battlefield had quieted. Enemy losses were unknown, but the battalion suffered 13 killed and 31 wounded. Lieutenant Colonel Hopkins remembered that the battle, "took place on a hill on which the southern boundary of the DMZ ran across the topographical crest." The NVA kept its forward defensive positions south of the DMZ, "while the bulk of his forces" remained in the so-called demilitarized area.12
Following air, artillery, and mortar missions, Captain Joseph M. Dwyer's
Company G led out in the assault on 12 December. Those of the enemy,
who could, had escaped, and the attacking companies searched the area
without contact. One North Vietnamese soldier was found alive and unharmed
in a bunker and he quickly was relieved of his loaded light machine
gun and whisked off to the battalion command post. Under interrogation,
he told his captors that the position had been occupied by the 1st
Battalion, 27th NVA Regiment, and that the battalion commander
and his staff had died in the fighting. Lieutenant Colonel Hopkins later
wrote about his frustration of not being permitted "to pursue the fleeing
27th NVA Regiment. . . ." He recalled bitterly, "standing on
the topographical crest.. . showing various media representatives the
blood-stained trees on both sides of the trails leading into the DMZ
. . . ." Hopkins was convinced "that a significant volume of enemy casualties
and materiel could have been captured or uncovered before being moved
back across the Ben Hai."13
During the next two weeks, Hopkins' battalion searched east and west along the ridgeline, dubbed "Foxtrot Ridge." Employing tactics to draw the enemy south of the DMZ, the battalion repeatedly maneuvered out of the area as if leaving, then quickly struck back. But, because of his losses, the enemy apparently had decided not to contest the terrain, and no further engagements occurred. On the day after Christmas, the 2d Battalion, 4th Marines departed the area by helicopter for the Cua Viet sector where they participated with the 3d Battalion, 2d ARVN Regiment in cordoning the village of Xuan Thanh.*
The first days of November found Colonel Robert H. Barrow's 9th Marines scattered throughout the southern portion of the division's area of operations, where the Scotland area was expanded due to the departure of the 1st Cavalry Division. Lieutenant Colonel George W. Smith's 1st Battalion, which had relieved elements of the Cavalry division's 1st Brigade at Fire Support Base Anne, southwest of Quang Tri, continued to conduct company-sized patrols of the surrounding area in search of the enemy, his supplies, and base camps. Later in the month, the battalion participated in two combined cordon operations: the first with the 3d Marines in the Mai Loc area and the second with elements of the 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division around the Thuong Xa and Mai Dang village complexes south of Quang Tri City.
The 2d Battalion, 9th Marines, under Major Frederick E. Sisley, which had been inserted into the eastern portion of the Vietnam Salient in late October, by
* Brigadier General Hopkins remembered rhar rhe week before Christmas,
bad weather restricted helicopter resupply and then the weather cleared
a few days before the holiday. When resupply resumed, the battalion
faced the dilemma of either receiving C-rations or "the Christmas packages
stacked up in the rear awaiting delivery." The Marines decided upon
the "Christmas packages." Hopkins quoted one of his troops, "if we don't
get enough food in the Christmas packages, we can always find a few
more rice caches." BGen Joseph E. Hopkins, Comments on draft, dtd 6Dec94
