Q: Android Image view-Camera I have been trying to implement this code , where i capture a image from the camera and display it in my image viewer and then can set it as a wallpaper. It is working fine in my emulator but on my phone, when i take the image and click ok-it force closes. any help ?
ImageButton ib;
Button b;
ImageView iv;
Intent i;
final static int cameraData = 0;
Bitmap bmp;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.photo);
    initialize();
    InputStream is = getResources().openRawResource(R.drawable.icon);
    bmp = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(is);
}

private void initialize() {
    iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.ivReturnedPic);
    ib = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.ibTakePic);
    b = (Button) findViewById(R.id.bSetWall);
    b.setOnClickListener(this);
    ib.setOnClickListener(this);
}

public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()) {
    case R.id.bSetWall:
        try {
            getApplicationContext().setWallpaper(bmp);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        break;
    case R.id.ibTakePic:
        i = new Intent(android.provider.MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE);
        startActivityForResult(i, cameraData);
        break;
    }
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data);
    if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
        Bundle extras = data.getExtras();
        bmp = (Bitmap) extras.get("data");
        iv.setImageBitmap(bmp);
    }
}

It is driving me crazy!

A: Looks like your rom is MIUI (or you are using the MUI camera)
I'm doing some android development with my HTC Desire on MIUI and it looks like the returned intent data from the camera is different to the usual intent data returned from androids native camera; you need to alter the activity result to accept the data from MIUI camera (I'm currently looking into this i will post my solution if I can work it out)
EDIT: Ok I've managed to sort the issue after investigating the miui camera intent: the returned data from the MIUI camera contains NO EXTRAS, but does contain a path to the image on the sdcard, so I've edited my onActivityResult accordingly to deal with the intent depending on what is in the returned data:
@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) {
    if(requestCode == CAMERA_PIC_REQUEST)
    {
        if(resultCode == RESULT_OK)
        {
            if(data.hasExtra("data"))
            {
                /* if the data has an extra called "data" we assume the returned data
                 * is from the usual camera app*/

                //retrieve the bitmap from the intent
                Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");

                //update the image view with the bitmap
                myImageView.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
            }
            else if(data.getExtras()==null)
            {
                /* if there are no extras we assume its the miui camera
                 * (which returns the path to the image in the returned data)*/
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "No extras to retrieve!",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

                //retrieve the path from the intent using data.getData().getPath() and create a BitmapDrawable using this path
                BitmapDrawable thumbnail = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), data.getData().getPath());

                //update the image view with the newly created drawable
                myImageView.setImageDrawable(thumbnail);

            }

        }
        else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
        {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }

    }
}

EDIT2: In my app i also have a picker to choose an existing picture from the sd card using the gallery, and have discovered the same problem for the MIUI gallery, so if you stick a image chooser in your app too this code for the onActivityResult works:
else if (requestCode == GALLERY_REQUEST)
    {
        if(resultCode == RESULT_OK)
        {
             if (data != null) {
                  //our BitmapDrawable for the thumbnail
                  BitmapDrawable bmpDrawable = null;
                  //try to retrieve the image using the data from the intent
                  Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(data.getData(), null, null, null, null);
                  if(cursor != null)
                  {
                      /*if the query worked the cursor will not be null,
                       * so we assume the normal gallery was used to choose the picture*/
                      cursor.moveToFirst();  //if not doing this, 01-22 19:17:04.564: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(26264): Caused by: android.database.CursorIndexOutOfBoundsException: Index -1 requested, with a size of 1
                      int idx = cursor.getColumnIndex(ImageColumns.DATA);
                      String fileSrc = cursor.getString(idx);
                      Bitmap bitmapPreview = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(fileSrc); //load preview image
                      bmpDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(bitmapPreview);//set the BitmapDrawable to the loaded image
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      /*if the cursor is null after the query the data returned is different so we assume
                       * the miui gallery was used (so the data contains the path to the image)*/
                      bmpDrawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), data.getData().getPath());
                  }
                  myImageView.setImageDrawable(bmpDrawable);//update our imageview with the BitmapDrawable
              }
              else {
                  Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
              }
        }
        else if (resultCode == RESULT_CANCELED)
        {
            Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "Cancelled",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    }

A: I don't know which line (where is 72?) that caused the problem by I guess that you get null data or the intent bundle is null.
First, I would check that request code on the onActivityResult it should be the same as the one you use when you call:
 startActivityForResult(i, cameraData);

The second thing I would try is calling the camera intent with an output filename and on the onActivityResult try to load the image from the SD card.
Take a look in this example how to do it.
Good Luck

NASCAR CAMPING WORLD TRUCK SERIES: FORD ECOBOOST 200
Jeb Burton
HOMESTEAD, FLORIDA
KERRY THARP: We\'re going to roll right into our post‑race for tonight\'s 18th annual Ford EcoBoost 200, NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race here at Homestead Miami Speedway, and what a race it was, three attempts at a green‑white‑checkered.
Joining us up on the podium right now are second and third place finishers, two of our top rookies and two of our top performers this year in the Camping World Truck Series. Jeb Burton joins us. He drove the No.4 Arrowhead Chevrolet. He came in third. And then coming in second place is Ryan Blaney. He drove the No. 29 Cooper Standard Ford, and Ryan is also the 2013 Sunoco Rookie of the Year in the Camping World Truck Series. At the age of 19, he becomes the youngest winner in the Camping World Truck Series for the Rookie of the Year award.
These two gentlemen up here, very proud of you two guys. You\'ve had super years, fifth in points for Ryan Blaney, sixth in points for Jeb Burton‑‑ it\'s the other way around. Jeb is fifth and Ryan is sixth. Outstanding performances.
Let\'s hear from Jeb right now, just another solid performance. Just talk about this race and then maybe if you could quickly reflect on your rookie season.
JEB BURTON: Well, it felt good to be that competitive again. We\'ve kind of been through a slump a little bit lately with our finishes, and my guys did a good job for me. We\'ve struggled a little bit in qualifying today, but right when the green flag dropped, we were coming to the front, and they did awesome today with pit stops and gave me a good truck in the race.
I was catching Kyle right there, biding my time, and I was going to wait for five to go and make a run at him, and I was getting closer and closer and I ran in a little too hard and got a little air tight and got into the wall and we came down and pitted and I thought our night was really done then.
We got some tires and they beat the damage off of it, and we were 25th with six laps to go and we drove back up to third. Pretty happy with that, a little disappointed that we didn\'t get the win, though.
KERRY THARP: Ryan Blaney, second place finish here tonight, sat on the pole here today at Homestead Miami. You won the 2013 Sunoco Rookie of the Year. Talk about maybe that accomplishment, beating a very, very strong field of rookies I might add, one of them sitting next to you there, and then, of course, the other one of note, Darrell Wallace, Jr., German, Brendan, several outstanding rookies in this class this year, but congratulations on that, and maybe talk about that and your performance here tonight. You hit the fence a couple times and you almost won the race.
RYAN BLANEY: Well, like every season, it had its ups and downs. A little more downs than I\'d like to see for our season. But I knew going into this year with Jeb and Darrell and German running, it was going to be really tough. All the rookie guys this year were really good, really good drivers and in really good equipment. And when you combine the two, it has good results.
It\'s pretty cool to do this. You see people all the time when they win Rookie of the Year and we didn\'t really race against anybody, but it was so fun racing against Jeb and Darrell this year. I think we were close all year in the rookie deal, and it\'s really good. We\'re all three great friends and grew up racing each other, and it\'s cool to see that we\'ve all got a good shot at it and have found really good homes at all the race shops, the race teams we\'re at.
We had a really good night tonight, sat on the pole, which I wasn\'t really expecting, but I knew we were going to have a really good race car, and we were really good in the beginning. After that first pit stop, we kind of fell back a little bit. I was really loose after that, and that\'s not really where you want to be here, running right next to the wall. It would just take so long for us to get going after that, and then we could finally start making up time.
I\'m not sure what lap it was, maybe lap 90, we got into that wall there leading Kyle, just trying to keep on leading. You\'re running so close to the edge every single lap at this racetrack, six inches from the wall, sometimes you slip up and there\'s no getting out of the wall once you touch it. That was my mistake.
But the guys made a great call at the end to come in and take two tires to give me a shot at it. Just didn\'t quite get there in time.
Q. There was one time where both of you guys were involved in a four‑wide race for the lead. Is that about as good as it gets?
RYAN BLANEY: Yeah, I ran this race last year, and this is probably one of the most fun and frustrating racetracks on restarts, especially when you have guys on new tires behind you like we had towards the end. Luckily we were on the good side of it that we had tires and we could make our way towards the front.
It\'s always a great racetrack here. You always see great racing, and they always fan out there for about three laps on a restart, and it\'s really tough to make a pass. I think that makes for great racing for the fans and ought to make good racing for TV.
It\'s a lot of fun when you come out on the good end of it like us two did.
Q. Jeb, if you could just talk about the rally that you guys made after you had hit the wall. Did you think your night was pretty much sunk, and just the come back you guys made?
JEB BURTON: Yeah, I definitely thought we were done after that. I hit the wall pretty hard twice. I hit it one time running second, and then Brendan got by me and then I pounded it again. I thought we were pretty much done. Came in, put tires on it, and the first restart I was a little cautious. I didn\'t really know what it was going to do, and it was still digging. I was just a little bit tighter and it was good, and I got it by a bunch of them the first green‑white‑checkered. And then the second green‑white‑checkered, I got by about five more. And then the last one I was on the high side and we were four wide getting into 1, and I saw a hole there. At that point it was go in the hole, and we all crashed or just back and finish 10th and we were here to win the race, and we just went through the hole, and it worked out.
Q. Ryan, somebody just tweeted me about how bright the future looks at Penske with you being so young and Joey and Brad. How much have you relied on Joey and Brad for information, or how much time have they had with you to help you get up to speed?
RYAN BLANEY: Obviously I\'ve spent a ton of time with Brad ever since I got over there and started driving his trucks. That\'s one of the best bosses to have, ones that are racers themselves, he knows what his team wants and knows how to go fast. For me as a young driver it\'s been very easy to go talk to him and get his advice and he\'s been very helpful to me both on and off the racetrack. So he\'s been a huge help.
And then Joey coming on this year, like me, he started really young. He\'s only 22 or 23 now, so he\'s been a big help. The kind of age you can relate like that. Both of those guys have been a huge help to me in the off‑season and all through this year.
Hopefully we can keep building on that and keep building a strong relationship with Penske for the years to come.
KERRY THARP: Jeb and Ryan, congratulations on a very, very good season. Look forward to many more watching you guys race in NASCAR. Congratulations, and thank you.

When you drive up to your home, it's a great feeling to be proud of its appearance. Do the doors and windows of your Colorado Springs home have this effect on you? When your windows and doors don't quite match, and look like they belong on two different houses, perhaps it's time to upgrade and consider investing in something that would ultimately add value to your home and a smile to your face.
For most homeowners, the first thought regarding installing windows and doors is how the finished product will look.. Your home should be a reflection of you, so it is fundamental that your home looks the way you want. Whether you are building a new home or replacing old doors and windows, the one detail that sticks out like a sore thumb (and can devalue your home) is when the doors and windows do not match.
While they don't need to be identical, your doors and windows should both complement the style of your home. For example, traditional homes usually have symmetrically placed windows and doors that are similarly sized and shaped.
On the flip side, contemporary homes have a more modern design, characterized by asymmetrical windows and doors of varying sizes that are unembellished and neutral in color.
Putting a little thought into the aesthetics of windows and doors can genuinely make a difference in any Colorado Springs home.
We've all heard the saying that "it doesn't matter what other people think." The exception to this rule is when you sell your home: it absolutely matters what other people think! By having windows and doors that are complementary to your home, you make your home's value increase. According to a 2016 Cost vs. Value study, homeowners get about 75% of their replacement window and door investment back when they resell their home. However, if you choose the wrong windows or doors, it can actually subtract from the value of your home and make it more difficult to sell.
Another consideration that might tip the scales toward matching windows and doors in Colorado Springs is how much money you could save by getting windows and doors that have the same energy efficiency and low U-Factor ratings. Yes, when you think about matching, looks are the first to comes to mind, but what if your doors and windows matched in other ways? Maybe they could all be triple paned, saving you a ton of money on your energy bills. That is the kind of matching that anybody can get excited about.
There is one more benefit to having matching windows and doors, and that is: all your windows and doors could have the same lifetime warranty. In this case, you pay for each window and each door once. That means all the products, labor, and glass breakage are covered…forever. You wouldn't need to try to keep track of what is protected and what isn't. You can rest assured knowing that all your bases are covered, which translates to total peace of mind.
At Zen Windows, you can get the best windows and doors in Colorado Springs and create harmonious balance for your home. You will also have absolute peace of mind with amazing products, expert installation, and a valuable lifetime warranty – which is even transferable to the new owner should you ever decide to sell your house. Zen Windows Colorado Springs can provide you with windows and doors that will beautifully match one another, giving you the home of your dreams. Call us today at (719) 582-6115 or fill out our online request form to get a free no-hassle quote. It only takes a few minutes, so why wait? We look forward to hearing from you!

Kingsbridge (6116 Einwohner) ist eine Stadt im South-Hams-Distrikt in Devon (England) und liegt am nördlichen Ende der Kingsbridge Estuary.

Die Ursprünge von Kingsbridge gehen auf das 13. Jahrhundert zurück. Die Stadt war über Jahrhunderte ein bedeutender Marktort. Heute liegt sie abseits der großen Verkehrsrouten; so ist sie beispielsweise nicht an das Eisenbahnnetz angeschlossen.

In der historischen Altstadt sind insbesondere die Pfarrkirche St. Edmunds sowie das örtliche Museum sehenswert.

Das in den historischen Romanen Der Morgen einer neuen Zeit, Die Säulen der Erde, Die Tore der Welt und Das Fundament der Ewigkeit von Ken Follett erwähnte Kingsbridge beschreibt eine andere, fiktive Stadt gleichen Namens.

Die deutsche Partnerstadt von Kingsbridge ist die Gemeinde Weilerbach bei Kaiserslautern.

Are you a victim struggling to live a regular normal, stress-free life? If yes! It is advisable for you to make no mistake but simply hire a good personal injury lawyer for your case. Why? Their job is to protect their client completely and provide them the compensation that they belong in their case.
Every personal injury case is different and unique; no two cases have the same compensation, severity, people as well. So, if you are a victim of an accident you are demanding quite high simply because you believe that your neighbor or anyone you know has received a really great amount of compensation when they were involved in a personal injury case; you are definitely going in a wrong line. Dont think what the other individual achieved, you have extremely different subjects to focus on. You should know personal injury cases are way too complex and broad, there are different types of accident and the negligence level can help you in estimating the compensation amount. But firstly, you should now that before you kick-start your personal injury case, make sure you have each and every bit of evidence by your side that acts as a proof of your innocence. Now, it is also advisable here to hire a personal injury lawyer Camden County, their motive and purpose are clear, to simply help their clients reach the right compensation that they deserve. Here for a clear understanding, we have mentioned few stages in a personal injury lawsuit that can definitely be your option.
1. Was the other party showing negligent that caused an accident?
3. How severe or complicated are your injuries?
4. How much is the current medical cost incurred to you in totality?
5. What are your plans with regards to your case?
What your attorney will do is collect information from basic to the most important one in this stage, where they do require the police report as you have called an official to monitor the scene, and then they need photographs, witness details, car details, and damage details, injury details with pictures, also the defendants vehicle condition, and injury condition.
They will also be in contact with your medical expert, car repair person, accident reconstruction expert to get information about the current situation with respect to your case.
Alsop the witness, defendant as well as the insurance company will be called upon for an interrogation session, with the conversation; they will pinpoint all the important facts and figures and simply make a good investigation report.
Also, the medical details will be fluctuating, so they will keep as a track on the future bills too.
Based on facts and evidence generated from the 2nd stage, the next is preparing a demand letter that will be submitted to the insurance adjuster. This demand letter will be prepared by personal injury lawyer Camden County they will outline the information like, medical records, injuries, pain and sufferings, damage to your property, loss of enjoyment, loss of financial earning, loss of love and support, future medical care, future financial loss, travelling expenses, out of pocket expenses and so on.
With this, your attorney basically guides the insurance adjuster the amount of complication you are facing sooner after an accident.
Also, the negligence shown by the other party will be well informed, but yes, they wont be submitting any kind of documents or evidence as a proof attached with the demand letter. All the evidence will be preserved until the face to face consultation.
Here, both the parties involved in an accident exchange their evidence with each other in order to know more in depth about what the case is from others point of view. With this, they will understand what exactly happened, how to go about with it, is it best to file a lawsuit or settling out of court will work well and so on. Discovery stage is important because you get to know the other parties judgment in the case. Also, you just dont get the information from it; you get to know how to go about with it.
Now, this one is an optional point, for those who believe that their case s settled up properly without any courtroom procedures, this point does not exist for them. I have my audience if your case is not settled and the insurance company is denying providing you the fair compensation. You may have to file a lawsuit considering the statute of limitation in mind. If you dont emphasize on this, you may miss out the deadlines. personal injury lawyer Camden County may work with you on this by filing a clear-cut proper systematic lawsuit for your personal injury, so before you hire them, make sure they do court process dealings because you never know your case might need it in between.
For those victims whose case is not settled out of court, they will think about this field. Here the jury will witness all the facts and figures, evidence, witness statement, the perspective of both the parties. And once they are sure that the victim is eligible for the compensation, they will simply present their views. Also, the amount of compensation the other party has to give will be determined. Here the technique is in handoff personal injury lawyer Camden County as their way of convincing and keeping points become important.

The study of trauma has probably been the single most fertile area in helping to develop a deeper understanding of the relationship among the emotional, cognitive, social and biological forces that shape human development. Starting with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in adults and expanding into early attachment and overwhelming attachment and social experiences in childhood ("Developmental Trauma"), this endeavor has elucidated how certain experiences can "set" psychological expectations and biological selectivity.
When addressing the problems of traumatized people who, in a myriad of ways, continue to react to current experience as a replay of the past, there is a need for therapeutic methods that do not depend exclusively on drugs or cognition. We have learned that most experience is automatically processed on a subcortical level of the brain; i.e., by "unconscious" interpretations that take place outside of conscious awareness. Insight and understanding have only a limited influence on the operation of these subcortical processes, but synchrony, movement and reparative experiences do.

Richard C. Schwartz, Ph.D. Related seminars and products
The Center for Self Leadership
Richard Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago. There he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief and in asking patients why, he learned that they were plagued by what they called "parts." These patients became his teachers as they described how their parts formed networks of inner relationship that resembled the families he had been working with. He also found that as they focused on and, thereby, separated from their parts, they would shift into a state characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence and compassion. He called that inner essence the Self and was amazed to find it even in severely diagnosed and traumatized patients. From these explorations, the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s.
IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely-used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms.
In 2013, Schwartz left the Chicago area and now lives in Brookline, MA where he is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.

The $5,000 grant will help fund the organization's educational outreach programs and initiatives.
(Sarasota, FL) The Rotary Club of Sarasota Foundation recently awarded Embracing Our Differences a $5,000 grant to help fund and enhance its education outreach initiatives.
Since 2004, EOD's outdoor art exhibit, celebrating the theme of "enriching lives through diversity," showcases the art and words of thousands of artists and writers from around the world, including hundreds of area-based students and educators. Also crucial to the organization's mission are its ongoing education initiatives. Presented in partnership with the regional school district and nationally recognized educators, these programs positively impact the lives of thousands of area teachers and students every year. These include annual workshops and retreats providing diversity curricula for area educators, free bus transportation for students and teachers to visit area cultural venues, and student docent programs in high schools. With more than 780 teachers and 37,000 students participating in these programs last year, Embracing Our Differences continues to lead as one of the largest education programs in southwest Florida.
Embracing Our Differences' annual juried international art exhibit returns to Sarasota's Island Park, April 1 to May 31. For more information about Embracing Our Differences, call 941-404-5710 or visit www.embracingourdifferences.org.
Aside from the annual outdoor exhibition, Embracing Our Differences' educator workshops are presented to approximately 200 teachers who are responsible for more than 20,000 students.
Mastering the Art of the Quote Workshops: This workshop is designed to take the difficult topics of diversity, prejudice and inclusion and teach students to express themselves through critical thinking and creative writing. Presented in partnership with Florida Studio Theatre, the workshop fulfills a critical need of providing teachers with creative resources to meet Florida's Language Arts Standards.
Art Teacher Retreat: This two-day seminar, developed in partnership with Ringling College of Art and Design, is designed to reinvigorate educators' teaching practices while offering new skills and strategies for inspiring students to explore the abstract concepts of prejudice, diversity and inclusion. Substitute teachers are provided for participating educators. In 2016, the 30 participating art teachers were collectively responsible for more than 9,000 students from Sarasota and Manatee counties.
Lesson Plans Workshops: Designed to deliver new and innovative methods of engaging students in critical thinking while creating the perfect environment for a rich discussion of the value of diversity and inclusion, all lesson plans identify the relevant curriculum standards, educational objectives, materials needed, activities, step-by-step instructional strategies and assessment guidelines.
Summer Diversity Institute: This three-day annual workshop provides information and support for the creation of a respectful and civil classroom culture, while offering tools and structures for educators and guidance counselors to use with students in their classrooms and on the school campus. Participants work individually and in small groups based upon grade level, as well as school location, to create lesson plans and action plans that will be used within each school to provide support to both students and faculty. 48 participants from 11 schools took part in the 2016 workshop.
The "Make-a-Day-of-It!" program, providing free bus transportation for area students and teachers to the outdoor exhibit and to other cultural venues, including Florida Studio Theatre, Mote Marine Laboratory, Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall, The Ringling, Sarasota Film Festival, and Marie Selby Botanical Gardens. 12,469 students participated during the 2016 school year.
Coexistence Clubs, via partnerships with Riverview, Booker and North Port high schools, provide student-led docent tours of the annual exhibit. Student docent tours were provided to 6,820 K-8 children visiting the 2016 exhibit. There are approximately 145 student docents.

UK says EU 'needs to move' for post Brexit deal
The European Union will need to move in negotiations but it is in the interests of both Britain and the EU to get a trade deal, according to the UK finance ministry.
"The fundamentals remain the same, it is in both sides' interest to have a deal," Steve Barclay, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, told Sky News.
"Whether there is a deal is not simply down to the actions of the Prime Minister. It needs the EU to move," he said.
Post-Brexit trade deal negotiations between the UK and EU are continuing in Brussels amid reports that progress in the talks could see a deal agreed this week.
The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier is said to have told diplomats the UK had moved towards the bloc's demands on the level playing field, according to the Daily Telegraph.
It said Mr Barnier told ambassadors the UK accepted a "rebalancing mechanism", meaning it could face tariffs if it moves too far away from EU rules.
The Guardian reported that European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said there had been "movement" and talks were "on the very last mile".
Negotiations between the two sides were extended on Sunday after Boris Johnson and Mrs von der Leyen agreed to continue the process despite major differences remaining. Mr Barnier updated diplomats from the 27 EU states about the progress before resuming negotiations with his UK counterpart David Frost.
For months the talks have been deadlocked on the issues of fishing rights, the "level playing field" to ensure neither side can unfairly compete with the other on environmental standards, workers' rights or state subsidies, and the legal mechanisms to govern any deal.
Mr Barnier said the "next few days" are important if a deal is to be in place for 1 January.
"It is our responsibility to give the talks every chance of success," he said.
"Never before has such a comprehensive agreement (trade, energy, fisheries, transport, police and judicial co-operation etc) been negotiated so transparently and in such little time."
A spokesman for the grouping of EU ambassadors said there is "full support for the resilient and persistent" negotiating team led by Mr Barnier.
The UK's current trading arrangements with the EU expire at the end of the month, meaning any new deal would have to be in place by 1 January.
If not, tariffs and quotas will apply and bureaucracy will increase, causing further damage to the UK economy which has already ravaged by coronavirus.

Thursday cyber surfing: All about Marcus and Manning
Good morning. Here's what's "out there" about the Seahawks for today, March 8:
Wednesday was a day for parting ways. Peyton Manning led the national headlines as the Colts released their iconic QB, but the Seahawks also released veteran cornerback Marcus Trufant.
Eric Williams at the News Tribune looks at Trufant's tenure with the Seahawks: "During the 2011 season, Trufant said the possibility of being released from a team roster is something players have to accept. 'You just know that's part of the game,' Trufant said. 'And eventually something like that is going to happen. But you've just got to be ready for it mentally, and be able to be strong and move on.' "
Danny O'Neil at the Seattle Times looks at how the decision to release Trufant was not difficult, but still not easy: "The Seahawks' decision to release cornerback Marcus Trufant wasn't all that hard to understand. He was a high-priced veteran who suffered a back injury in two of the past three seasons, and he played a position at which Seattle has a number of young players who are both promising and inexpensive. That doesn't mean the decision to release Trufant was easy, though."
John Boyle at the Everett Herald points to the development of Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner as key elements in Trufant's release: "One of the biggest surprises of the Seahawks' 2011 season was the play two first-year cornerbacks who helped Seattle's secondary become one of the best in the NFL. And while the emergence of Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner bodes well for the Seahawks future, it also cleared the way for the team to part with a big part of its past. Marcus Trufant, a Tacoma native who was Seattle's first-round pick in 2003, was released Wednesday, the team announced. The move hardly comes as a surprise given the play of Sherman and Browner last season. Browner, who spent the previous four years in the Canadian Football League, won a starting job in training camp and ended up a Pro Bowler in his first NFL season, and Sherman, a fifth-round pick in last year's draft, showed tremendous potential after taking over a starting role midseason following injuries to Trufant and Walter Thurmond."
Here at Seahawks.com, we revisit just what getting to continue his career with the Seahawks meant to Trufant, who grew up in Tacoma and played his college ball at Washington State: "Trufant was an all-state selection at Tacoma's Wilson High School before becoming an All-American and All-Pac-10 player at Washington State. The fact that he was able to continue his career in his home state and for his hometown NFL team was never lost on Trufant. 'I always say it's like a storybook,' Trufant told Seahawks.com in 2010. 'Most people don't get to play in their hometown. God had a plan for me and it's just playing out. It's been good – the love and support I get, and I'm close to my family.' "
We've also got a look at Trufant's nine-season stay with the Seahawks in a photo blog.
We're also getting a jump on Tuesday's start of free agency by looking at the available players at each position, and we start with the defensive linemen. But we also take a look at the quarterbacks, where you-know-who tops a field that also includes Matt Flynn.
In Indy, what had become a potentially messy situation actually ended well – with Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay embracing and the club retiring Manning's No. 18. Don Banks at SI.com has the details: "In the end, they got it right. Peyton Manning and Jim Irsay stood side by side before the cameras at the Colts' team complex on Wednesday and reminded us all again of how good they've had it for so long now. Theirs was the most successful and long-running player-owner relationship going in the NFL, and they didn't let it go sour when it finally came time for this week's bittersweet parting of the ways. The closure that Wednesday's emotional press conference brought was much needed. The thanks-for-the-memories tone struck by both men was the proper one. After their messy blame game and transparent public relations maneuvering of the past couple months, Irsay and Manning thankfully had enough foresight to remember it's how you finish that really matters. This story may not have a happy ending, but in the final analysis, it didn't have an ugly one either."
Now that Manning's time in Indy is over, everyone wants to know where he'll play next. Mike Sando at ESPN.com offers some myths vs. motivators: "Control of the offense is key: I'm buying this one as a true motivator, not just a myth. It's tougher to envision Manning adapting his game for a system-oriented offensive coach such as Washington's Mike Shanahan. Manning did control the offense in Indianapolis. Going to a team with a flexible offensive staff would seem to make the most sense."
NFL.com, citing sources, throws the Seahawks' hat into the ring for Manning's services: "One team in particular wasted no time expressing its interest, as the Seahawks reached out to Manning's camp, a league source told NFL Network's Albert Breer.The Seahawks were among the initial group of potential Manning suitors, and the team reportedly plans to come at Manning 'checkbook blazing' to ensure he makes the Pacific Northwest his new home, ESPN New York reported Tuesday, citing a league source."
Jerry Brewer at the Seattle Times says the Seahawks have to take a shot at wowing Manning: "There will be a sprint to sign the four-time NFL MVP. Here's hoping the Seahawks wear their best running shoes. The Seahawks should pursue Manning aggressively. Of course, they'll have to scrutinize his neck, but if their medical staff confirms that he's healthy enough to play, it's a no-brainer to make a push to sign the best pure quarterback of this era. There's no need to overthink it. It's this simple: The Seahawks don't have a quarterback good enough to make them true title contenders, and Manning, even if he returns at 80 percent of his greatness, makes almost any team an instant contender."
And one company in Phoenix already is throwing mattresses at Manning in hopes of softening his landing with the Cardinals.
Regardless of what teams do to try and entice him, Pat Kirwan at CBSSports.com says Manning holds all the cards as he decides where he'll shuffle off to next: "Every club that contemplates going after Manning has to realize this is not going to be the average free-agent recruiting trip. In plain English, Peyton Manning and Tom Condon will control the process, and all the teams that think they are interested better get ready to play in this high stakes poker game. I was deeply involved in the attempt to recruit the late Reggie White when free agency first began back in 1993. He wouldn't even visit unless I guaranteed we would not be outbid for his services, he wasn't going to work out, and he wanted a press conference during his stop in New York. Trust me, Peyton Manning will control this whole process."
Kirwan and his cronies also speculate on where Manning will land. The final tally? Arizona 4, Miami and Kansas City 2, Washington 1, retirement 1. Clark Judge picks the Chiefs, offering: "GM Scott Pioli knows how difficult it was to beat Manning when Pioli was in Indianapolis, and Romeo Crennel already has expressed an interest. Suddenly, the Chiefs could have a passer to rival Philip Rivers within the division."
But Kerry J. Byrne at SI.com says teams should heed the warning signs with the Manning: "And the reality is that Manning is, at best, a stop-gap measure and a short-term solution with few precious years remaining in the NFL. The team that signs him tomorrow may land a future Hall of Famer. But they're also landing an aging player, fresh off a catastrophic injury, who even in the best of circumstances is on the back-nine of his career."
Also at CBSSports.com, Pete Prisco lists Seahawks defensive end Red Bryant among his "little-known players I really like," offering, "I will break him down on tape for a Thursday column here at CBSSports.com, but I really like this kid. He plays hard. He's an anchor in the 3-4 and can also play inside in a 4-3. Oh, and he's only 27."

Mega solar power plant inaugurated in Qatar
Christian Fernsby ▼ | October 22, 2022
Al-Kharsaah Solar PV Power Plant (KSPP), the first in Qatar and one of the largest in terms of size and capacity in the region, with a total capacity of 800 megawatts (MW) was inaugurated in Qatar.
The plant was inaugurated by Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, Amir of the State of Qatar, in a special ceremony at the site in Al-Kharsaah that was attended by Sheikh Khalid bin Khalifa Al-Thani, the Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs and the President and CEO of QatarEnergy.
KSPP was constructed on a 10-sq-km land area. It includes more than 1,800,000 solar panels that utilize sun tracking technology to follow the movement of the sun to ensure the most efficient use of land and to maximize daily production. It utilizes robotic arms and treated water to clean the solar panels at night in order to enhance the plant's production efficiency.
Speaking at the inauguration ceremony, Al-Kaabi highlighted some of Qatar's efforts towards achieving its sustainability targets, stressing that "the Al-Kharsaah plant is one of the country's strategic initiatives to build projects that contribute to reducing gas and thermal emissions, thus achieving about a million-ton reduction in annual carbon dioxide emissions."
Minister Al-Kaabi highlighted some of the environmental efforts and sustainability requirements that were taken into account in building this landmark plant, saying: "The site of Al-Kharsaah was chosen following extensive scientific studies to determine the sites with the best possible operational efficiency and maximum economic value, placing great consideration to the geological, environmental, and social impacts of establishing this station."
The Al-Kharsaah Solar PV Power Plant is owned by a joint venture between affiliates of QatarEnergy Renewable Solutions (60%), Marubeni (20.4%) and TotalEnergies (19.6%).
Al-Kaabi thanked QatarEnergy's partners in the project, namely, Japan's Marubeni, France's TotalEnergies, as well as the project's contractors for their efforts to deliver this project. His Excellency also expressed his thanks and appreciation to QatarEnergy, Qatar Electricity and Water Company, and the President, management, and employees of KAHRAMAA for their continuous efforts to meet the country's electricity and water needs with the highest standards.
"I am honoured to present ample thanks and gratitude to His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, for his unlimited support and wise guidance, without which we would not have accomplished such a project," he concluded.
KSPP started supplying electrical power to Qatar's electricity grid last June, marking the startup of the 400 MW first phase of the 800 MW plant. Full capacity was reached by the end of the second phase. The KSPP can provide the national grid with about 10% of peak electricity demand.
Building this plant comes as part of implementing QatarEnergy's updated Sustainability Strategy, which reemphasizes its commitment, as a major energy producer, to the responsible production of clean and affordable energy to facilitate the energy transition.
In addition to increasing solar capacity to over 5 GW, the strategy targets reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions, and deploying carbon capture and storage technology to capture over 11 million tons per annum of CO2 in Qatar by 2035. It also aims to further reduce the carbon intensity of LNG facilities bolstering Qatar's commitment to responsibly supply cleaner LNG at scale in support of the energy transition. ■

Our traveling smith had heard enough. This was a temperance and tool lecture to him, he began to think of all the trips he had made to this town. Twelve trips a year, three dollars a trip for liquor and the time lost must be worth two dollars per day. He figured it out and would have turned back if he had not been so close to the place. He took a glass of beer but it didn't taste as usual and he asked for a cigar. With this he returned,and on the road home swore off for good. He bought a tire holder at once to start in with, and by this time he is one of the best smiths in the country, always at his stand ready to do the work brought to him, and his customers now know that he is to be found in his place, with tools of all kinds and a sober hand to use them with. Do thou likewise.
Many of us remember the time when tires were made in sections and nailed on, at this time the wheels were more substantially made, because the tire could not be set as tight as it is now, and the wheel had to be made so that it would- stand the usage almost independent of the tire. Our endless tire is a great improvement over the tires made in sections. The wagon tires as they are made now are, I think, as near right as they can be, in regard to size of iron, in proportion to the wheel. But it is different with buggy tires. I hold that they are all made too light to be of any protection to the fellows. I understand the reason why they are made this way, but if a man wants a light rig, let that be the exception and not the rule. Tire should not be less than one-fourth of an inch thick for seven-eighths wide, and five-sixteenths for an inch wide and over.
A tire four feet in diameter will expand two inches and a quarter, or three-sixteenths of an inch to the foot. Steel tire expands less. This is the expansion of red heat. If heated less it expands less, but it is no trouble to make the tire expand for all the draw it needs. A furnace for tire heating 'comes handy in cities where there is no chance for making a fire outside, but every smith that has room for a fire outside will do better to heat the tire that way. Don't build a tire heating furnace in the shop if wood is to be used for fuel, because the heat and smoke will turn in your face as soon as the doors of the furnace are opened.

Provided a great service, covered all my requirements


Once upon a time, along roads and highways, there existed establishments known as "service stations" or "gas stations" where one could obtain fuel, have maintenance work performed and get the windshield washed. All these services had to be performed by a qualified service station attendant. No attendant, no fuel.
The stations often had one or two vending machines. One for drinks (at one time, exclusively Coca-Cola) and perhaps a second with candy bars. The machines required coins to disgorge their respective products.
Today, the descendants of the old service stations provide groceries, meals and sit-down dining. (The Coke machine has evolved a long way.) In addition, an array of other services and products, communications facilities, and entertainment options are available. Such facilities are now called travel centers or convenience stores.
Granted, fuel is often (but not always) available at these establishments. Yet it seems an almost vestigial line of business. Rarely does an employee do the refueling; and mechanical work is virtually unheard of, having been outsourced to a totally different type of enterprise, generally known now as repair shops. As more and more of the fleet goes electric, fueling itself is being migrated to homes, businesses and parking lots.
The evolution of service stations and vending machines is like the transformation of documents and workflow. Not so long ago, and indeed in the present for a shrinking, but still significant, number of courts, the wheels of justice were almost completely document-driven. Documents (originally paper and later some electronic) were created by the processes, memorialized the results and carried communications within the court and out to the near and wide world in which the court operates.
An enormous proportion of court effort and resources were, and in some cases still are, devoted to the management and storage of the documents. Electronic document systems and eFiling certainly have helped.
The advent of workflow has made the management of documents more efficient. Many folks involved in court document management have regarded workflow primarily as a way to manage the documents.
But an interesting thing happened; and virtually all who have implemented workflow have seen it: The power and impact of workflow vastly exceeds document management in scope.
Sort of like the vending machine taking over the gas station.
Documents are rapidly approaching the time when the vast majority of them will no longer be produced. The reason is that a huge percentage of court documents function as triggers, carriers of meta-data, communications vectors, compilations of information from multiple sources or tracking devices for other documents.
Workflow, when tied into enterprise data, communications systems, logistics and business intelligence fulfills all these functions, much more efficiently and effectively and generally doesn't require documents much anymore. Consider, for example, a Motion to Continue. Why do we need a document for this? When I want to change my seat on an airline reservation, I change it. The system decides if the change is allowable, keeps track of the change, when it was made and that I made it. The record is duly stored and accessible if and as needed. The "document " is non-existent.
As of now, courts are going to have to deal with documents for some time as the new order gets sorted out.
But if I'm even close to right and documents are in fact becoming vestigial to court processes, the real focus ought to be on workflow. Today, workflow helps handle a lot of documents, however, the reduction of documents will not diminish the need for workflow. The incidence of document generation, transfer and storage can't be reduced without well-designed, smoothly-functioning workflows.
What do you think of courts using meta-data instead of documents to trigger actions?
Using meta-data instead of documents to trigger actions is just like the transition from horse and buggy to the automobile; at first it was rare to see a car, now everyone has a couple and and no one thinks anything about it. Over time paper documents will only be a story one tells their grand kids.
Totally agree and also think you're wrong. Just had another experience here of how we're tied to pointless tradition in our quest for technological innovation. When are you coming down again?
It's been a long time – hope you are well.
Great article. Truly depicts the scenario that is going to be there in the near future. The world is going digital. The world is going paperless. It's a nice analogy that you showed between petrol pumps and documents.
