Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.37.0' but version of GLib is 2.30.3

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables BASE_DEPENDENCIES_CFLAGS
and BASE_DEPENDENCIES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

How can I fix it?

A: I'm not entirely sure what's tripping you up so that you can't compile XScreenSaver on OSX but if you just want to install it you can download the .dmg file from this site which contains it already pre-built as a binary.
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html
You might want to try asking your question on jwz.org's forums given he's been successful in compiling XScreenSaver for OSX. There's also a FAQ available on the site too. Also here's the link to the main page.

Q: C++ shared_ptr array type access I'm making a wrapper for a SQL database and the objects I return are shared_ptr.
I'd like to support array-type access (ie row["column"] instead of row->get("column")). The objects the shared_ptr stores support array-type access, but of course the shared_ptr doesn't.
How should I do this with shared_ptrs, would I need to extend the class?

A: The most obvious thing is to add an operator[] to shared_ptr.
That means define your-own shared_ptr reusing std::shared_ptr and having the [] operator working the way you want.
This can be done in a quick and dirty way by deriving shared_ptr (note: shared_ptr are not polymorphic objects, so don't mix up std:: and yours in a same context, so that you can reuse their interface).
If you are a "don't derive if the destructor isn't virtual" fan, than it is up to you to embed std::shared_ptr in yourptr, and rewrite the shared_ptr interface in yourptr one, delegating the functionality you have to retain.


The purpose of these case studies is to inform public discourse about the impact of investment in broadband infrastructure and adoption activities on community.
What impact have public investments in broadband infrastructure had on the community?
What community utilization efforts are underway in community?
What impact, if any, are they having?
Formulating Values: We used established formulas to calculate the economic impact of public investment in each community. Though the numbers are imprecise, we believe they are representative.
County Data: We gathered data but found it difficult to track impact of better broadband because while the impact may be immediate, the tools that measure impact are not. Often the most recent data available dates from 2015 or 2016, before most of the networks had reached a critical mass.
Community Interviews: We spoke to representatives from each community to gather firsthand accounts of the value of broadband investments. While we have included hard numbers whenever possible, we learned that "value" is in the eye of the user. For one it means turning a $400,000 business into $4 million business. For someone else it means helping two kids with math homework at the same time. For others it means keeping the local newspaper printing.

5.0 out of 5 starsI am extremely happy with it. You won't regret it if you get one.
I purchased the Surface Pro i5 8GB RAM.
The unit is taking the place of both a HP ultrabook and an IPad. The ultrabook is still a good laptop and performs well, however this Surface Pro has exceeded all of my expectations. It has been a great purchase and I love working on it on a daily basis. I bought a keyboard for it as well, which has made it a true pleasure to use. It easily runs circles around both my ultrabook (which I love) and the IPad.
The Surface Pro is built very well, from both the perspective of actual construction and initial durability, as well as design. The speakers being front facing work very well, better than any laptop or tablet I have listened to.
The screen itself is beautiful with excellent clarity and detail, with the speed behind its supporting hardware to display anything I have thrown at it. Touch-screen action, speed and response are excellent.
Saying the processor is very good is an understatement. Fan-less and very fast; it handles video compression, editing, and encoding better than any I have used, especially considering the small form factor. Simpler editing and any other daily computer use tasks aren't even really worth mentioning because it easily does those concurrently as the heavy tasks. Absolutely wonderful.
Battery life has been exceptional. Coming from an ultrabook which has good battery life, the Surface Pro has been amazing. I am on it all day and it has no problem running on and on.
The Surface Pro is on the expensive side, however, I can say that in comparison with any other tablet or laptop on the market, this is by far the superior product, in nearly all aspects. Years ahead in development, hardware, and support. It is truly a pleasure to use.
I suppose what tops it all off is its extremely small and portable size. Keep in mind that this isn't just a tablet, like "competitor products". This is an actual, fully capable computer, which can be easily thrown in a backpack or simply carried. It really has no competition because it outperforms everything else. I know I will love this Surface Pro for years to come.
Some people may say that it doesn't have USB Type-C. True, but do I really want to go out and re-purchase all the things I have, just so they can be USB-C based hardware? No; not only would this be expensive for little to no realistic gain, but all of the things I have already work well and I plan on getting use out of my purchases. Plus, most hardware doesn't support USB-C yet anyway; it hasn't been made yet. Lastly, from what I understand, Microsoft plans on selling a Surface Connect-Type C converter just in case you need it, which will support both full data and full Type-C power. Both points of full data and power being important, as many current Type-C ports and hardware are not actually fully capable.
After having the Surface Pro a few weeks, I am extremely happy with it. You won't regret it if you get one.
I bought this to replace my Surface Pro 4, which had a screen flickering issue that developed after about 1 year of use. This is a well known issue and many angry customers have voiced their experiences online (search "Flickergate"). So, after about 2 months of light use of my new Surface Pro, the same problem is happening again. The screen flickering issue has not been fixed in the new model.
Over the years I have bought many ultra books, tablets, laptops etc. and always had an element of disappointment. This is the first tablet/ laptop I have bought that has exceeded my expectations. When detached from the keyboard it really is a fine tablet and when attached to the keyboard is a good laptop for travel or occasional use in the home. I would not go as far as saying that it replaces my desktop (2 Hi Res screens etc.) but it comes closer than anything I have had before. Very fast, light and easy to transport with good battery life.


How to make your digital business investor ready.
Research shows that companies who can access funding at the right stage in their growth curve have better outcomes including; increased sales, higher staffing levels and faster growth.
Better funded companies have better outcomes.
Hosted by Eoin Costello the expert panel included, Conor O'Connor, Enterprise Equity, John Phelan, Halo Business Angel Network (HBAN) and Mike Brennan, Enterprise Ireland.
During the meetup invited guest Grainne Lennon, InterTradeIreland gave insights into the Seedcorn Competition. Closing date for initial applications is 26th May 2017.
Key advice and tips were shared by the panel on what investors look for in a company when they are considering investing that all important cash.
What are the key factors investors look for in early stage digital companies?
Conor O'Connor said that in his opinion one of the key factors was Market Traction. Investors are trying to find a safe bet. They will want to know how quickly, where and why traction is happening and how it's linking to potential new customers. Investors will also want to know about a company's ability to access the key decision makers in the industry.
Digital investors also want to see a model that works, how businesses can scale up, and monitor their progress. At the core of any successful business is the ability to attract new customers.
Conor gave the example of Phorest a company that had obtained traction and attracted investment.
Established in Ireland in 2003 this is a leading Salon Software provider. Operating in the UK and Irish market it is growing rapidly. Central to its success is being able to understand its target audience. Over the years it has focused on product development. Its constant engagement with its customer base and development of their needs is the key to its success.
John agreed with Conor and used a favourite phrase of his, The Disney Story when companies come to him looking for investment and say, just believe me!
Unfortunately, he explained that this isn't really enough for investment. Proof of traction is a great way of building trust, confidence and credibility and companies with traction demonstrate that they have commercial value.
Team balance and the ability to execute are definitely things investors look for in businesses.
Ensuring the team fully understand their domain knowledge, i.e. the industry they are trying to crack, and having the connections to break into it globally are also very important.
John mentioned Mark Little as an example of a person who really knew his industry when looking for early investment. Investors from HBAN were very impressed in the team knowledge and this was an important decisive factor.
Mike Brennan reminded attendees that Venture Capitalists (VC's) are simple folk who are looking to make money. Therefore there has to be an opportunity in it for them. Businesses need to be solving real problems in order to attract large levels of investment.
When VC's get involved they are thinking of a ten year plan so they will consider the founder carefully, i.e., whether if he/she is going to stick at it?
What are the hot sectors for investment?
Conor was quick to highlight that Fintech has been exploding in the last couple of years and doesn't seem to be slowing down.
Two other exciting areas are Chemtech and Medtech, e.g. real time patient monitoring where doctors can remotely monitor patients conditions.
From a wider perspective anything involving automation in the service sector, e.g. Artificial Intelligence (AI) in terms of system learnings from the throughput. Internationally, many companies in this space are attracting interest.
In the context of Ireland there's quite a wide base. Traditionally the focus has been wider than narrower.
The interaction between hardware and data and the security around data is also an interesting area that is attracting funding.
What are they key factors influencing investment in a growth area?
John Phelan said that from a Fintech perspective PSD2 is coming down the line and companies in Ireland are a little behind the curve.
John agreed with Conor that AI was massively important and is the new electricity.
Big data is another growth area that's been around for a while, e.g. predictive analytics. The key is finding out what to do with all this big data and how to gain insights that give value for businesses.
Mike also believed that Fintech was a rapidly growing area. He highlighted Deep Tech, as its referred to in Europe and Frontier Tech in the US – AI, Drones, Robotics, AR & VR.
At the crossroads of Frontier Tech and Fintech, this is where the smart money is.
Insure Tech, a subset of Fintech, e.g. on-demand premiums. Technology can be used to review where you drive and what you're doing, it's all getting very interesting.
AI has advanced and now actual problems are being solved, making it a much more investible area.
Top tips to secure investment.
– Show why you're different.
– Illustrate your reach into the market.
– Clearly explain these two points to investors.
– Challenge an investor on their assumptions both technically and commercially.
– Reach out to the Local Enterprise Office and Enterprise Ireland.
– A recipe to validate your model, demonstrate it works.
– Keep the capital clean, watch who gets equity.

Keeping your diet in check is one of the most difficult concepts to get right - never mind when it is a national holiday.
Guarantee your cousin is going to bring too many burgers, and your aunt's potato salad tastes great - but for sure does not fit your current macros.
Look, this isn't going to be one of those blogs that tell you to restrict everything your eating - because we're not about to strip all the fun out of holiday eatings... but there are some pretty important steps you should take prior to and during your independence day festivities.
The first aspect to consider is that many of you will be travelling around to see family. Generally, when you are on the road you are pretty much forced to eat take-out or whatever is available at the local store.
Instead of leaving your diet to change, we'd suggest planning ahead and making some premade meals. Keep it simple. Food like sandwiches will go a long way in keeping you full and, most of the time you will be able to hit your macros and limit your intake of foods you know you shouldn't be eating.
We know for a fact that you will be eating excessively more than usual. With this in mind, this is a perfect time for you to really dig in and overload the muscles prior to your big meals.
Not only will the meals help you to repair the tissue, but since you will be bringing much more calories from max-workouts, you likely will not see too many changes in body composition.
This is the hardest part. It doesn't matter how hard your workout was, or if you prepared your meal prior to the dinner - if the only thing you can eat is super fatty, high sugar foods (even though they taste great) you may find yourself in a state of disbelief.
The first thing to remember is that none of this is the end of the world. Worst case scenario you have 2-3 bad meals over the course of your festivities - we can work with that.
With that said, if you can control these meals and eat the best possible foods you can stay ahead of the game.
Having a complete protein shake prior to a meal can be a great way to help you feel full and know that you have received much of your protein intake - which means you may not need to gran the fatty meats.
Instead, we'd suggest, if possible - only eating the vegetables, grains and limiting your intake of the meats. Of course, meat is not bad for you, it's the high intake of fats that could ruin your hard-earned abs and consistent macro schemes.
Keep your diet in check this holiday by including a complete protein shake prior to a meal. Not only will you get your required protein, but it will help you to feel more full and help to satisfy your cravings for the high-calorie foods.

St Andrew's Church, Holme Hale
Our village church is medieval, with a few items of Norman origin. The earliest record of an appointment of rector to this parish (then Hale) is 1317. It is a beautiful building and has served the people here for over six hundred years.
For the past eleven or so years, it has played host to a colony of Natterer's bats, now thought to number some 260 – possibly the largest such colony in the country. The bats roost in the nave and are thus free to defecate and urinate all over the interior of the church, including the chancel.
Floors, walls, furniture, wall lights, brass fittings and bibles all bear the scars of bat activities, and a strong smell of urine pervades the interior of the church. Dust sheets have to be put down after each service, and taken up and shaken outside before the church is used. Even so, bat droppings have to be brushed off the pews before sitting down. And it is not unknown to pick up a bible and watch the urine run off.
The normal use of the church is now seriously compromised. Attending weekly servies is bad enough. Other occasions such as baptisms, marriages and social events, especially if small children are present, bring much more serious anxieties. It cannot be long before the continued use of the church has to be decided, in spite of us having so far spent some £3000 on commercial cleaners.
Bats are a protected species. It is rightly an offence to harm them in any way or to disturb their roosts. The only way forward is to obtain a licence to exclude the bats, but only after they have left of their own accord. Seeking such a licence can be a long, difficult and expensive process, with little chance of success. And the possibility of then successfully excluding these tiny creatures from a centuries old building is equally remote.
We began a campaign in 2005 to bring about a more sensible application of the law covering the protection of bats, and gathered the support of 241 parishes from 19 dioceses. Crucially, we also gained the support of our Bishop, and of the Church of England Church Buildings Council.
This led to a research programme last year by Bristol University, covering a number of churches, including ours. Various devices were used to mitigate the problem caused by the bats, including lighting, radar and ultrasound. The latter proved to be the most effective. It showed that it was possible to cause the bats to leave the church and to be deterred from returning whilst the device remained active.
Further work by Bristol University this year has seen the construction of two lofts in the roof timbers above the nave, covering the most-used bat entry points. It has undoubtedly had an effect by reducing the number of bats entering the main body of the church, though not entirely. Disappointingly, this now seems to be the favoured way forward. We appreciate the degree of help we are receiving but are not persuaded that retaining the bats in the church is the right long-term solution. And, on a more practical level, we do not believe that the problem of cleaning out these lofts – at height – has been properly considered. Church members have neither the resources, nor skills to take on the task, which could endure for many years.
Internal lofts could be an acceptable short-term solution. But surely the right way forward is for Defra to find ways of providing appropriate roosts in the open, combined with the use of ultrasound to deter bats from entering and occupying buildings used by people.
There are some who believe that a church is different from other public buildings; that it is acceptable in this case for people and wildlife to share the same enclosed indoor space: something that would clearly not be accepted elsewhere. We do not agree with them. As our Bishop has said: "Churches are not barns, they are for people".

This letter was written by William B. Holgate (1837-1924) to his younger brother Francis ("Frank") N. Holgate (1845-1867) of Clinton Post Office, Kirkland, Oneida county, New York. William and Frank were the two oldest sons of English emigrant Anthony B. Holgate (1802-1862) and his first wife Jane Hunter (1810-1850). William worked as a carpenter & joiner—a trade he learned from his father.

Things to do in Santorini
Prehistoric Thera Museum
One of the most important museums of Greece is the spectacular Museum of Prehistoric Thera that lies in the capital of Santorini, Fira. It is housed in a state-of-the-art, two-story building whose erection started in the beginning of the 1970s and it was finally offered to the public in 2000. The proponent of this museum was the standout Greek archeologist, Professor Spyridon Marinatos, who led the excavation works in the archaeological site of Akrotiri and prompted the creation of a museum in order to house the valuable finds from this major urban center that came to light, where a prominent regional civilization of the prehistoric world used to thrive during the Minoan Bronze Age.
The finds that are on display on the Prehistoric Museum of Thera come from the various excavations that were carried out on the island, such as at the settlements of Akrotiri and Potamos, rescue excavations at different sites on the island as well as some objects that were discovered by chance or handed over. The exhibits date back to the Late Neolithic Era up until the Cycladic Periods and are in excellent condition. Through the exhibits visitors can witness the progress of Thera in the Prehistoric Times unfolding before their eyes, as they bear testament to a brilliant course that made Thera on of the most significant islands of the Aegean during the 18th and 17th centuries BC.
Visitors to the museum, which is open daily (except Tuesdays in winter), can admire temporary exhibitions on the ground floor and four permanent exhibitions on the first floor. The first unit of them refers to the history of research at Thera, the second to the geology of the island, the third to the island's history from the Late Neolithic to the Late Cycladic I Period and the last one to the heyday of the city at Akrotiri (mature Late Cycladic I Period, 17th century BC).
The Prehistoric Thera Museum can be considered an extension of the archaeological site of Akrotiri, where visitors can walk through the amazing, well-preserved prehistoric city, since it hosts many artifacts from there and, most importantly, the frescoes, the impressive mural paintings. These were found in both public and private edifices of Akrotiri and constitute one of the most incredible exhibits of the museum. They are colorful representations of nature and everyday life and give a valuable insight into the way of life back then and the environment. Among the items, there are also tools, utensils, marble figurines, pottery and some jewelry, since the inhabitants must have taken their precious objects with them when they left the island due to the looming volcanic eruption.
The rest of the collections, which are ordered chronologically, include Neolithic, Early and Middle Cycladic pottery, Early Cycladic metal artifacts and marble figurines which are numbered among the earliest pieces of the museum, as well as ancient items, like vases, ritual objects and bird jugs. Finally, the museum is in possession of fossils of bugs and plants that flourished before the human presence on Thera, including palm trees, olive leaves and schinus.

06:14 PM - NOBLE mentioned Dizzy Dash in post Winter Tournament Qualifiers start NOW!!!
General: NOT getting locked up.
If you made it to round 5 of that first Audio tournament then you would've been 3rd or 4th place, sorry man.


Summer is finally here! Last year I made fruit salad a lot with blueberries and peaches. It was always fresh compliment to our summer meals. I wanted to bring those summer flavors to a potluck in a new way. I love crisps, so I put them together in a crisp!
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt.
Peel and slice the peaches and put them into a large bowl with the blueberries. Mix the peaches and blueberries with the granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pour the mixture into a baking dish, and set aside while you make the topping.
In another large bowl mix the oats, flour, granulated sugar, dark brown sugar, kosher salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cut the butter into small pieces and gradually add it to the dry mixture. Cover the peach and blueberries evenly with the mixture.
Bake for about 15 minutes covered, and then remove cover and bake for about 30 more minutes or until the crisp is bubbling and brown on top.


Impossible. Impossible things. An x-ray cat. An old, flying hat. A practical piece of decorative clothing. An affordable boat that dabbled in transforming. Happiness.
Raindrops on pieces of silver, that were wiped away, and taken quicker than we could clean our drawers. A hand-painted dresser. I swirled my finger around a particularly hidden scratch on the back that I alone might only be knowledgable about. Sold. For the next few days it all had to go. Years of gathering and collecting valuables, and yet they could all be taken away in hardly longer than a most unpleasant afternoon. It was that I didn't believe in happiness. It simply didn't exist, and if my mother's mood was any measure – it couldn't be brought on again in any sort of hurry.
Still he didn't let the question naturally derail, and pressed further still.
'Your fantasies do not count,' he said.
'A qualified listener. Now hear me. I am not insane. And why should I be? Because of my adventures. I say I wonder if you have ever had happiness, and if so your jealousy of mine is not very becoming in therapist or any person really,' I said.
'Thank you Mr White,' I said as I picked up my coat.
I left Cottontail Hospital, and returned to my mother with a hope that her moods had vastly improved.

Why are juveniles wrongfully convicted?
A juvenile convicted of a crime is much more likely to be wrongfully convicted than an adult, according to the Center on Wrongful Convictions of Youth (CWCY). The group says young children and teenagers are more likely to be influenced by others, willing to comply, and more vulnerable to pressure than adults.
The CWCY says youth under 18 are also less equipped to understand the risks versus potential consequences, are less likely to understand their legal rights, and less likely to know how attorneys can help them.
Understanding how wrongful convictions occur
The CWCY was founded by defense attorneys representing Brendan Dassey, who, at age 16, was convicted along with his uncle Steven Avery for a 2005 Wisconsin murder, which inspired the Netflix documentary series "Making a Murderer." The center focuses on helping wrongfully convicted kids, with a particular focus on:
False confessions: The CWCY says 25% of all juvenile convictions that were overturned through DNA evidence involved a false confession, which is one of the leading causes for wrongful convictions.
False accusations: The most frequent witnesses against children are also children. Interrogation tactics that can cause some kids to confess falsely can also cause young people to implicate other children falsely.
Miranda rights: Researchers find even "street-smart" kids do not understand their right to an attorney and to remain silent. That often leads to unreliable statements as children do not have counsel, parents, or a friendly adult present while they are interrogated.
Overcharging, transfer, and false guilty pleas: If a young person is accused of a serious criminal act, their case is often transferred to adult court where they could face a lengthy prison sentence. Research shows this can lead to guilty pleas to shorten jail time, even if they did not commit the crime.
Ineffective counsel: Research shows attorneys who are not experienced in representing children fail to recognize the issues that often result, including suggestibility, a child's development, and false confessions.
Protecting the rights of young people charged with a crime
Representing children can be difficult, and parents of those who are accused of a crime should seek advice from an experienced criminal defense attorney here in Virginia who will take the time to build rapport with young clients and understand that special care is needed in their defense.

Paterson man arrested outside apartment complex with vials of crack, bundles of heroin
A city man was arrested early Thursday morning for alleged possession of vials of crack cocaine and bundles of heroin, according to Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik.
Tremain Murphy, 37-year-old, has been charged with six counts of drug possession and distribution, authorities said.
Murphy was observed standing in the doorway of the apartment building at 43 Carroll Street at around 1:38 a.m.
Patrol officer Angelo Calabro exited his vehicle and approached Murphy. He observed Murphy reach for his waistband.
Calabro ordered Murphy to remove his hands away from his waist. Murphy complied. The officer conducted a pat down that yielded a large plastic bag with 47 vials of crack cocaine and 9 bundles of heroin. A bundle contains 10 packets of heroin.
Murphy was placed on a warrant and charged, authorities said.

Marc Ellison and Andre Malan inspire CSNI to win over Waringstown
Andre Malan also picked up four wickets for CSNI
A 98-run partnership between Marc Ellison and Andre Malan helped CSNI record a three-wicket Robinson Services Premier League victory over Waringstown at The Lawn on Saturday.
Having won the toss and elected to bat first, Waringstown were reduced to 44-5 with opening bowlers Malan and Graeme McCarter taking two early wickets apiece.
The home side rebuilt through captain Greg Thompson (66) and Kyle McCallan (32), with the former really starting to up the run-rate and score with freedom after digging in early in his innings when walking to the crease in a precarious position. Thompson once again proved his class and continued his brilliant season to date, and showed it doesn't matter what sort of situation he finds himself in, he is able to adjust and was the shining light for his side once again.
The game changed when he was ran out after a mix-up with McCallan, ending a sixth wicket partnership of 93, and Waringstown finished on 174 all out after 46.3 overs. In reply, James Mitchell claimed the early wicket of Archie Johnston but that brought Malan (42) to the crease, who along with Ellison (57) was scoring at a quick tempo and the pair broke the back of CSNI's chase before Phil Eaglestone claimed them both in quick succession.
The Belfast side lost a further four wickets as they got over the line with Morgan Topping (29*) playing a knock of maturity and finished the game off with a towering straight six to compound Waringstown to a third consecutive defeat.
Ellison has started the season in fine form for both club and the Northern Knights, and while he was pleased with his contribution to the win, was equally disappointed to not see the job through.
"It's nice to get another fifty, but I judge myself either on not outs chasing or hundreds, so I wanted to be there at the end," he said. "It's disappointing but there was enough good stuff before that. I thought today was a tricky total. Based on how the wicket played when they batted, I thought if we just hung in there it would be a tight game so I wanted to be a bit more positive. Thankfully I got a few out of the middle and Andre and I shared another enjoyable partnership.
"We were both disappointed to not get closer to the total, but it's always good when the lower order gets you through and it's good for the team's confidence."
The victory means CSNI now leapfrog Waringstown into third position in the league table, and Ellison was delighted to pick up four points against a side he hasn't came out on the winning side against too often.
"We haven't came here too often and picked up four points in the league over the past 10-15 years," he added. "We are certainly very conscious that we underperformed in the league last season. We have done well chasing this season and are well-led up front by our seamers. If Andre and Graeme aren't difficult enough to face, then you bring on Fozzy and while he mightn't have been at his best today, his spell last Sunday was superb. Ben Adair is also in some really good form with the ball. It was a really enjoyable day."
James Kennedy's side will now be eagerly awaiting tonight's Gallagher Challenge Cup semi-final draw where they will find out their opponents for a July 20 showdown as they look to make a second consecutive final.
"Making the final last year and losing just leaves a bit of unfinished business in the mind," said Ellison. "We are certainly keen to keep progressing in that and the beauty of the competition is that you have to beat the best teams to win it, so it doesn't really matter who we get. We are hopeful to win another game and have another day out at Comber later in the season."

Two English managers, Harry Redknapp and Glenn Hoddle, could throw their hats into the ring should the Ghana FA invite applications for the vacant Black Stars job.
Ghana's senior national team is coachless after former Chelsea manager Avram Grant mutually ended their relationship following the country's failure to annex the much wanted trophy at the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.
But the football governing body has been quite silent on the process for the hunt of the next coach. It is yet unclear if the Kwesi Nyantakyi-led body would choose to head-hunt or open the space for applications.
But even before that a number of coaches, starrsportsgh.com understands, have been making frantic efforts to get the attention of the powers that be through intermediaries.
And one of the names starrsportsgh.com has chanced on is former Tottenham manager who once coached Ghana's Sulley Muntari at Portsmouth, Harry Redknapp.
The 69-year-old's interest comes as surprising after ignoring the overtures of Notts County in the English lower tier to remain outside coaching last month.
Just about a year ago, Redknapp revealed turning down offers from Egyptian giants Al Ahly and Zamalek before taking up the Jordan national team in a two-game deal. He was later in 2016 linked to the Nigeria job now occupied by Gernt Rohr.
Meanwhile, Hoddle, who is relatively younger is understood to be ready to make himself available for considerations.
Over the past months, a number of coaches – Herve Renard, Milutin Sredojevic, Willy Sagnol and others have been linked to the Ghana job.
The Ghana FA's spokesperson last week hinted in an interview that when the time comes, they will look to employ a top coach with influence, love for the African terrain and ready to stay in the country.

El Moviment de Descolonització i d'Emancipació Social és un partit polític de la Guaiana Francesa dirigit per Maurice Pindard el 1977. L'1 d'octubre de 1997 publicà un manifest en el que reclamen la descolonització de la Guaiana.

Reclama la independència de la Guaiana Francesa, a la que considera una colònia de França i no pas un departament o regió, encara que no veuria amb mals ulls un estatut similar al de Nova Caledònia. A les eleccions regionals de 1998 va obtenir el 8,6% dels vots i tres escons al Consell Regional. Nogensmenys, a les eleccions regionals de 2004 va obtenir el 6,55% dels vots i no va obtenir representació. El 2012 les eleccions parlamentàries, els MDES van obtenir 17,30% dels vots

Q: Get white balance (K) from white reference I am looking for an algorithm which calculates the color temperature (in K) which is the used to set the color temperature in a digital camera. As input the algorithm gets a captured white area of a photo (which is not white if the white balance is wrong). The algorithm should estimate the color temperature until the white area is realy white (I hope it's clear what I mean).
One straight forward algorithm would be to linearly probe all temperatures, e.g. set the temperature -> capture a picture -> check color of white area and then select the best match.
But how is this correctly done, assuming that I can only capture photos and set the color temperature in the camera (for instance there is no infomation about the color matrices used for white balance calculation, or any other information I could use for the calculation)?
Regards,

A: First of all, in digital photography the white balance is not done with a white area, it's done whith middle grey (exactly with a grey of 18% reflectance in visible light, see this 18% grey card.)
For a correct white balance the sampling pixels must have a RGB value of #777777 (119, 119, 119), if the shoot is well exposed (not underexposed nor overexposed).  In any case will be met that R=G=B in neutral white balanced, irrespective of the color temperature light when you shooted your camera or you camera W/B setting.
For other values, you can take some samplers and check their tone curves in Camera Raw (it shows you the color temperature in K).


The Trump administration is moving to roll back federal fuel-economy requirements that would have forced automakers to increase significantly the efficiency—and likely the cost—of new cars and trucks, a key part of former President Barack Obama's strategy to combat climate change.
"Attacking the California waiver is a recipe for chaos," said Sen. Edward Markey, D-Massachusetts, who has pushed for higher fuel standards.
California and other states that have adopted its standard will almost certainly file a legal challenge if pushed by the EPA, Markey said.
"The auto companies don't want 50 state standards," he said.
But in a Feb. 21 letter to Pruitt, the group said the EPA's Jan. 13 decision on fuel economy "may be the single-most important decision that EPA has made in recent history." The alliance urged Pruitt to reconsider the plan, which it said could "depress an industry that can ill afford spiraling regulatory costs."
Markey and other Democratic senators criticized the EPA review before it has even been issued.
Trump and Pruitt "want to pump the brakes on fuel efficiency standards, throw us into reverse and recklessly roll back down the road we just came from," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Oregon. "It's bad for our economy, it's bad for the environment and it's bad for middle-class families."
The fuel-economy regulations for model years 2017-2025 were imposed in 2012 as one of Obama's major initiatives to slow global warming.
The trade groups said the January rule did not account for cheaper gasoline that has helped fuel consumers' love for gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs over more efficient cars. When the standards were conceived in 2012, gas was $3.60 per gallon, compared with around $2.28 currently. In 2012, more than half of the new vehicles sold in the U.S. were cars. Now, six of every 10 are trucks or SUVs, making the average fuel-economy figure more difficult to achieve.
Congressional Republicans criticized the EPA's January decision, accusing EPA of short-circuiting the evaluation process and making new vehicles more expensive. In a joint statement, the leaders of three key House committees suggested lawmakers would take action to reverse the EPA's ruling.

Irresponsible Gun Owner of the Day: Anonymous Holland, MI Cop
Remember, all you crazy-ass, wild-eyed bitter clingers. No matter what you think the second amendment says, the only people who are qualified to handle dangerous firearms are the military and police. Only they have the hundreds of hours of training and skills required to handle guns. The average citizen simply doesn't possess the ability and can't be trusted to safely use– Oh. Wait . . .
A Holland, Michigan cop whose name – wait for it – was not released, shot himself in the hand this week. While holstering his gun. During a training exercise. mlive.com, has the minimum necessary:
(Capt. Robert Buursma) said that police were conducting quarterly training in the gun range in the basement at police headquarters on West Eighth Street.
The officer was treated at Holland Hospital and released. No other officers were hurt.
The injured officer will return to duty once his injury heals, Buursma said.
Police were conducting low-light drills under supervision of a certified instructor before the officer was injured. He had successfully completed his tasks before he was shot while trying to put his firearm in the holster.
Maybe they should have had the lights on, no? It's evidently harder to remember the four rules in the dark.
To be fair, most officers we know wouldn't be the ones to suggest leaving guns solely to the soldiers and cops. No, it takes big city (mostly northeastern) chiefs of police to generate truly deep thoughts like that. They tend to march right along with our betters, the elitists in the illustrious gun grabber community, who have such low opinions of the abilities of John and Jane Q. Public to handle the tools necessary to protect themselves.
And that's why we feel more than a touch of guilty schandenfreude when one of the boys in blue demonstrates how wrongheaded that only-military-and-cops thinking is. So for now, let's give credit where credit is due. The injured, un-named Holland officer will be off duty for a while recuperating. And that should give him plenty of time to appreciate the distinction he's earned as our Saturday edition IGOTD.
Joe nobody says:
"He successfully completed his tasks before he was shot while trying to put his firearm in the holster." did he really successfully complete his task if he now has a hole in his hand? And why is it that when a civilian has an accidental discharge the media portrays them as a clown, but when one of our boys in blue ( who I have the up most respect for) they word it as if to say they were shot in the line of duty. He shot himself, he wasn't shot. But I am just preaching to the quior. Alas….
ihatetrees says:
"He successfully completed his tasks before he was shot while trying to put his firearm in the holster."
I just loooove the passive voice…
Do J-skool ass-hats who write this crap understand what it does to their credibility? Or do they just not care anymore?
jkp says:
They probably are just copying-and-pasting whatever was in the press release.
Oh, great. Whatever happened to shooting oneself in the foot? Did that go out of style with Hopalong Cassidy?
karlb says:
Is that why he was called "Hopalong"?
Also, Ralph, I am sorry that Wisconsin has decided not to enforce the four hour of training part of the new CCW law, and are even working to remove it, since you had mentioned you might move to the Badger/beer/cheese/bratwurst state to teach the classes.
Yeah, that Second Commandment thing can really mess up a guy's income.
JJ Swiontek says:
That Second Commandment?? I don't get it.
Second Commandment, Second Amendment, Potato, Potahto.
NR says:
No, JJ- wrong Moses. He's talking about the 2nd commandment of John MOSES Browning.
I thought that was: Thou shalt always carry my creations cocked-and-locked….

Scuba Diving in Florida Keys
Florida Keys are a chain of islands made up of exposed parts of coral reefs on the southernmost part of the continental United States. The Keys are considered a highly biodiverse area because of the coral reefs surrounding the islands. The reef is called the Florida Reef and it is one of the largest barrier reefs on Earth.
Florida Keys Diving Info
Because of its great biodiversity, the archipelago is a major ecotourism hub for the U.S. and a large part of the Keys' economy. The inviting waters of the Atlantic Ocean have also made it a haven for the local scuba divers and international tourists. Known for its colorful reefs and shipwrecks, the Keys offers numerous experiences for divers and snorkelers.

Florida Keys has a tropical climate which makes it suitable for diving year-round. However, rain is to be expected between May and October.
The ocean reaches its warmest point during the months of July and August when the temperatures average 31° C/87° F. The coldest temperatures are recorded in January when the water gets to a chilly 21° C/69° F.
Visibility is affected by the surface weather, which is why it can go from bad to good (30 meters/100 feet) in a matter of days.

• Reef diving
• Wreck diving
• Deep diving
• Night diving
• Cavern diving
Florida Keys Diving Highlights
Molasses Reef, Key Largo. Photo by Tracey Spencer
Key Largo is probably the most highly-ranked destination within Florida Keys… and the self-proclaimed Dive Capital of the World. While the latter may not necessarily be 100% true, it nonetheless a great destination for divers, especially wreck divers. Key Largo offers one of the largest artificial reefs in the world – the USS Spiegel Grove, a 160-meter (510-foot) shipwreck. One of the most well-preserved reef systems in Florida – the Molasses Reef, can also be found here. But one of the most photographed diving highlights is the Christ of the Abyss statue that stands 2.5 meters (8.5 feet) tall in shallow water for everyone to admire.
Islamorada offers some of the best diving in the area. The purple island is known for its plethora of gamefish which put it on the map for sport fishing enthusiasts. But scuba divers come here for the abundance of marine life too. Queen angelfish, nudibranchs, barracudas, schooling jacks, snappers, groupers, hogfish, eagle rays, stingrays, sea turtles, Caribbean reef sharks, and dolphins are some of the many sea creatures one can expect to encounter here. The underwater landscape is defined by spur reefs, groove reefs, patch reefs, walls, crevices, and caverns. There are also a few deep sites that can challenge technical divers.
Key West is yet another exceptional scuba diving destination, one where the U.S. is at its most Caribbean. The scuba diving that takes place at Key West can be compared to the more exotic dive spots. The reef ecosystem is rich in colorful tropical fish and game fish. Key West is home to many other historical shipwrecks, including one of the legendary wrecks of the world: the USNS General Hoyt S. Vandenberg.

Ultrasound has become a mainstay tool in urologists' armamentarium for the diagnosis and management of nephrolithiasis. From starting as a rudimentary form of imaging, it has come to play a more prominent role over time, paralleling evolution in ultrasound technology. Throughout the medical community there is a growing emphasis on reducing the amount of ionizing radiation delivered to patients during routine imaging. As such there has been a resurgence of interest in ultrasound given its lack of associated radiation exposure and proven effectiveness as a diagnostic and therapeutic imaging modality. Herein, we provide a review of the history of ultrasound, how the use of ultrasound is expanding in both diagnosis and treatment of urinary stone disease, and finally how promising applications of ultrasound are shaping the future of kidney stone management.

Tokyo Olympics | Team India will be a strong contender, believes Tushar
Former forward Tushar Khandekar has strong faith in the current Men's Hockey team. He believes the national team has raised the bar in every aspect of the sport, and it will be a strong contender in the upcoming Olympics.
Olympics 2021 is scheduled to begin from July 23 in Tokyo, Japan.
He expressed his feelings on 'Hockey te Charcha', a podcast series initiated by Hockey India at the fore of the Olympics. "I feel the way the team (Indian Men's Team) is doing right now; they are a strong contender to finish on the podium," he was quoted as saying during the podcast.
He said team India has learnt a lot from all the events that have taken place so far. The year 2008 was not very successful as we couldn't qualify for the match but we bagged 12th in London and endorsed 8th position in Rio. The London Olympics (2012) have taught us many things.
The players constituted in the present team know very well how even a minute mistake impacts the overall game. And recent tours to Australia and Europe have reflected the impressive transformation of the National team.
He took further and added, "…players part of the London Olympics like Sreejesh, Manpreet, Sunil, Danish Mujtaba, Raghunath (and others) who also got to play in Rio had told themselves the team won't make the same mistakes they made in London. Likewise, I am sure players who were part of the Rio Olympics will caution the team of the errors they need to avoid making in Tokyo."
"After the depression in 2008-09, it has taken us 10-11 years to climb to the level we are at today," added the sportsman who made his international debut in 2003.
He delivered his service as an assistant coach to team India between 2014 to 2016.

Here at The Hackers Paradise offices we get requests each and every day for different equipment to be reviewed. One of the most requested companies has always been SeeMore Putters. SeeMore originally became recognized when Payne Stewart won the 1999 U.S. Open playing a SeeMore putter. Stewart one-putted the last three holes to win the championship by one stroke. He sunk what's considered to be the longest putt in Open history on the 18th hole to win the tournament.
In 2007 the SeeMore Putter Company was re-launched as it introduced a new line of milled putters with the only goal being to use its patented and proven RifleScope Technology (RST) alignment system to create the world's finest putters. Zach Johnson's 2007 Masters victory will now be forever remembered along with Payne Stewart's dramatic US Open victory in 1999 as two of the greatest final round putting performances in history, both having relied upon SeeMore putters.
We contacted the company and were extremely happy to see that just a few short days later a putter arrived to try out for our review. When a new product arrives we always get our "first take" on the item and this one was really different. The putter looked and felt great. However the "red dot" was driving us crazy. More on that later. We also want to add that although we did not personally care for the putter cover that came with it, most of the people we spoke with that saw it really liked the look of it. In fact, the SeeMore covers have become quite a collectible recently especially their Masters cover with only 1,000 ever produced.
SeeMore has launched new for the 2009 season the strikingly beautiful new SB1 mallet to offer an improved game improvement option to the player looking at the new generation of large, face balanced, high MOI mallets with general alignment features from front to back, such as the 2-Ball category of putters. The SB1 offers all the benefits of these large oversize mallets with the added precision alignment benefits of SeeMore RifleScope Technology (RST).
The body of the SB-1 putter is 100% CNC milled from aircraft grade 6061 aluminum. It is anodized with a black satin finish to provide a perfect contrast with the RST and with the white alignment line from front to back. The shaft is bored-in to the head very near center, which results in the SB1 being face balanced. It is SeeMore's only face balanced mallet. Each SB1 putter also incorporates a milled internal hosel, providing an extra internal connection between the shaft and head, which enhances feel and allows the putter to be lie-adjusted later on should the player wish to modify this important specification.
Technical specs aside, THP wanted to know just how they performed in real life situations on the course and the putting green. The first test was was myself and a local teaching pro trying it out on the putting green and then on the course. Both of us loved the feel of the putter but the red was still an issue. The goal with this is to make sure you are not seeing the red dot during your stroke like the first picture featured near the top of this review.
The issue we were having was that we were spending so much time focusing on "not seeing the dot" that it was giving us fits with our approach to putting. After a few minutes of getting the hang of it, this putter worked like a dream. The weight and feel was great, and the roll off the face was as good as we have seen out there. Both of us looked on as the balls were getting closer to the hole with each putt.
The next test was taking it to the people. The Hackers Paradise assembled six golfers at a local putting green and gave them the THP SeeMore Challenge. You practice with the SeeMore SB1 for 5 minutes. Then each golfer hit 10 balls each from 15 feet away with their regular putter and the SeeMore. Each of the six golfers had the same issue with the red dot during the 5 minute warm up, but settled in quickly. The results were fairly conclusive. 5 out of the 6 golfers tested made more putts and were closer by 33% with the SeeMore than their regular putters. The one that was not actually used an old Bullseye putter that he had been using for 29 years.
Overall the SeeMore SB1 gets a big thumbs up from THP. So much so, that I am having trouble parting with it. With a MSRP of $225.00 it is certainly not the cheapest piece of equipment out there, but results do not lie and we feel as though in comparison to other putters the SB1's price is right in line with where it should be. You can read all about SeeMore putters as well as shop right online at SeeMore. This is one company that takes pride in their website and the knowledge and information found on there was quite useful. One more thing to note is that SeeMore Putters also has a great blog with tons of information. All of our readers our urged to check that out as well at Seemore Putters Blog.
Whoa. I need one of these. I keep seeing people use them and have never tried one. This was a great review. Thanks for the info. My Scotty Cameron might be headed to ebay.
Great read. I love those pictures. I use a SeeMore and can attest to just how well they work.
Love it. Love the looks and the review. I even really like that headcover.
Great pictures. This thing looks great.
Thanks for the great review. Want to let you know that we just got in 2 new headcovers for the SB1. They are on our facebook page – SeeMore Players Club. The SB1 also comes in a belly and long putter as well. Thanks again and Happy Holidays from Team SeeMore.
FYI – watch the South African Open (Golf Channel) – this year's Masters champion using a SeeMore mfgp or fgp black.
I had a feeling this would get a positive reaction from you and your testers. My SeeMore is the best putter I have ever had. Nothing in this review surprised me because I already know what a great line of putters this company has.
Ordering one for my husband this week. Great info here.
I have been looking at changing putters for about 6 months now. My Ping is just not working for me. These look like they might be worth trying out. The overall consensus on the net is very positive.
Nice read. I will have to keep them in mind when its new putter time.
I'm loving the SB1 46″ that I ordered custom from Seemore this fall. Very nice putter and great customer service.
I am thinking about trying these out. I like the Heavy Putter, but love the idea of the allignment aid here.
have to say am heartened by smilar or better results. It's a real confidence builder, really helps me repeat a pendulum stroke.
Nice review here, impressive results from the THP SeeMore Challenge.
you're stating and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still care for to keep it wise.
