5G's Deployment's Downside? Dip in Small Cell Spend
By J. Sharpe Smith, Senior Editor
The long awaited 5G deployments may disrupt other areas of the wireless infrastructure buildout, Earl Lum, president, EJL Research, told an audience at IWCE, this week in Las Vegas.
"Since we are at the cusp of rolling out 5G, small cells and anything on the periphery with get put on the back burner. Whenever a new network gets rolled out, you see priorities change," Lum said. "You are going to see a big shift back to sub-6 Gig, particularly the CBRS band at 3.5 GHz."
Indications from the carriers during the MWC19 in Barcelona last week are that purchases of small cell equipment and siting are beginning to slow down in the United States, which coincides with the increased concentration on a 5G macrocell deployment.
"I learned at the Mobile World Congress that all the countries that are planning to deploy 5G are deploying it on macrocells, collocating it with 4G and 3G equipment," Lum said. "You are going to see the deployment of Massive MIMO antennas, which are not going to fit on a small cell."
MIMO antennas operating in the 3.5 GHz band attached to macrocells can provide 5G coverage and put off the need for small cells.
"With Massive MIMO, you have multiple beams, each one is the equivalent of a small cell," Lum said. "If you can put off building eight small cells, how much money do you save? At $100,000 per small cell, that's $800,000 you have saved with a single MIMO that costs $35,000. That is a pretty good return on investment."
Regulatory Uncertainty May be Affecting Small Cells
Their may be other factors affecting small cell rollout, such as regulatory uncertainty. The FCC's small cell streamlining order is currently being scrutinized by the U.S. Court of Appeals Ninth Circuit. Congress is looking into whether the FCC colluded with the carriers, in an attempt to steer the judicial review of the FCC's small cell order away from the Ninth Circuit, which is known for pro-municipal judgements. And 21 states have passed laws forcing localities to be in compliance rules streamlining small cell deployments.
"We are in a strange 90-day window," Scott Longhurst, government relations manager, Crown Castle International. "Even though the small cell order was adopted Jan. 15, local jurisdictions have until April 15 to adopt their own aesthetics standards."
Regulatory uncertainty is affecting carriers in mostly the secondary and tertiary markets, while major markets, such as New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Miami – they are "building out pretty vigorously," according to Longhurst. Crown Castle is currently building out 5,000 small cell nodes in Los Angeles, alone, for T-Mobile.
"In the largest markets, small cells are a coverage play, filling in around the macro antennas," Longhurst said. "As chipsets are placed in the new handsets, the pressure will build for the carriers to deploy small cells."
Even though the FCC adopted rules that limited fees, tower companies are still seeing municipal fees that are all over the map.
Questions about what fees are acceptable "might be a part of why you are seeing a bit of a slowdown right now is both sides, cities and carriers and tower companies are trying to figure this out," Longhurst said.
Wireless has been the only use of the right of way that is regulated by planning departments of the local jurisdictions. Longhurst is confident that the courts will uphold the FCC's effort to change that.
"The intent of the FCC in its small cell streamlining order was to force the local jurisdictions out of the discretionary permit process in the right of way. So wireless will be treated like any other utility in the right of way," Longhurst said. "So, from that standpoint, the FCC order has a good chance of being upheld."
Longhurst is beginning to see a change in heart at the associations representing the cities, because of the importance of 5G to the growth of cities in the future. "I think they are going to come around. They are not going to want their constituents coming back at them someday asking why their city got bypassed by the 5G revolution."
The industry is still learning basic issues surrounding the physical deployment of small cells, according to Longhurst. For example, they have found that the integrated millimeter antennas cannot be placed behind a shroud. Because of the RF propagation characteristics of high-band, the waves reflect off of the shroud.
"We have been working with the cities for a year and a half on designs to conceal this equipment," Longhurst said. Now we have to go back to them and tell them a square must be cut out of the shroud so the 5G radio and transmit and receive signals."
Shentel, AT&T Trials Feature Massive MIMO
February 16, 2017 – Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel) and AT&T have complete completed multiple commercial trials featuring a Massive MIMO in licensed Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) LTE spectrum using technology from Blue Danube Systems.
The trials were conducted using Blue Danube's BeamCraft 500 active antenna product for advanced 3D beamforming, which is capable of delivering 160 watts of transmit power for a Massive MIMO system. Based on its underlying High Definition Active Antenna System (HDAAS) technology, the 96-element BeamCraft 500 can intelligently and seamlessly focus signal energy where it is needed, allowing wireless carriers to better serve high demand areas and minimize interference zones.
"The demand for Massive MIMO solutions continues to increase as industry gears towards delivering 4G advancements and 5G. Mobile carriers are looking for innovative and cost-effective ways to improve network capacity and Blue Danube's BeamCraft 500 is the first product designed to provide operators a low friction upgrade at existing sites targeting lowest total cost of ownership (TCO) for high-capacity," said Earl Lum, president at EJL Wireless Research.
The trials supported more than 10 terabits of data during a three-month period through a simple retrofit of the existing antenna with Blue Danube's BeamCraft 500 unit. At the trial sites, users experienced an improvement of 2X to 5X in throughput in high traffic demand areas using the same transmit power as the legacy installation. Additionally, users received up to 20X improvement in instantaneous video throughput and experienced smooth 1080p HD videos in locations where existing systems were stalling and previously only capable of 144p.
"Massive MIMO opens up a new way to boost capacity in mobile telecom, by using the spatial dimension and multiple antennas to create multiple paths that re-use spectrum more effectively. Instead of waiting for 5G, mobile operators are upgrading thousands of TD-LTE base stations with Massive MIMO this year," said Joe Madden, founder and principal analyst at Mobile Experts. "It's an exciting development which, as it gains momentum, may be able to leap into the FDD market as well."
A second phase of trials is now ongoing to test additional operational modes and traffic scenarios.

SA sells less coal from Richards Bay terminal in 2018 than in 2017
Commodities Richards Bay, South Africa, Thermal Coal
By Lisa Steyn
The reduction in exports is not due to operational issues at the terminal but reflects weaker global demand, CEO Alan Waller says.
Three-million fewer tonnes of coal were exported from the Richard's Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT) in 2018 as global demand for South African product weakened in response to high prices.
In a briefing on the annual performance for 2018 on Thursday, RBCT reported coal exports of 73.47-million tonnes for 2018 —4% less than the 76.47-million tonnes exported in 2017 and falling short of a previously-stated target of 77-million tonnes. On average the terminal received 26 trains a day in 2018 compared with 27 a day in 2017.
The reduction in exports is not because of any operational issues at the terminal but, rather, is a reflection of weaker global demand, said CEO Alan Waller. "Whatever has been railed has been shipped. [The reason for lower exports] is global demand; it's market dynamics," he said.
Xavier Prévost, senior coal analyst at XMP Consulting, said the weaker demand was because South African coal index prices had been marginally higher than those of other coal producing countries such as Colombia and Australia in 2018.
The Richard's Bay terminal, which is owned by 14 major coal-mining companies, is one of the largest such facilities in the world and has an export capacity of 91-million tonnes. Coal exports are a significant foreign-currency earner for SA.
Nearly 82% of the coal leaving RBCT was delivered to Asia in 2018, with India being the largest market. Africa received 8% of the export coal and Europe procured 10.1%.
While the global demand is out of its control, RCBT has been hard at work to increase efficiencies. In December, the terminal achieved an export record of 8.12-million tonnes, in spite of a derailment of 51 wagons on the Transnet coal line on December 21…Read More

February 8, 2019 |Mueller Investigation, Perjury, Process Crimes
Process Crimes and the Mueller Investigation
by Mike Rappaport|6 Comments
Close-up photo of Department of Justice headquarters entrance (Two Bridges Photography/Shutterstock.com)
In the Washington Post, former Assistant US Attorney Randall Eliason argues that "Trump supporters" are wrong when they dismiss the large number of Robert Mueller's prosecutions as mere "process crimes." Eliason claims that perjury, 1001 violations for lying to a government official, and other process crimes are serious matters. When the subject of an investigation lies, they interfere with an important investigation that should be protected. Prosecuting those process crimes therefore serves an important purpose.
While Eliason frames his column mainly in partisan terms, with Republicans dismissing prosecutions for process crimes, this is unfortunate. The problem is more general. President Bill Clinton was impeached for a process crime and some of his defenders decried this fact. To avoid excessive partisanship, Eliason should have gone out of his way to note that this occurs with both parties. But it is hardly news that partisanship lives at the Washington Post.
I agree with Eliason that process crimes are serious matters. And to the extent that the Mueller has successfully prosecuted such crimes, that reflects badly on the persons who committed these crimes. But Eliason ignores the strongest reason why people seem to denigrate mere process crimes.
Many commentators view the prosecutions by the Mueller probe as evidence of wrongdoing by the Trump campaign or his administration. But this will not necessarily be the case if the process crimes occur as a result of the investigation. If the process crimes occur as a result of the investigation, they do not indicate that the Trump campaign or administration had engaged in previous wrongdoing.
Indeed, many people believe that the launching of the Muller investigation was not justified based on the scant evidence at the time of Trump campaign collusion with Russia. The misdeeds involving Fusion GPS and the FBI provide some support for this criticism. So does the fact that the appointment of Mueller did not conform to the Justice Department Regulation governing the appointment of special counsels (which allowed for only criminal investigations, not counterintelligence investigations). These people will not be moved by the existence of crimes that occurred after the Mueller investigation began.
In sum, one need not believe that process crimes are unimportant to conclude that they do not necessarily constitute evidence of wrongdoing by the Trump campaign or administration. To the extent that he ignores this aspect of the critique of process crimes, Eliason is attacking a straw man.

I will never cease saying it: 18 USC 1001 and its ilk, and "obstruction of justice" generally, are abominations to a free people. One of the tacit, yet undeniable, founding principles of this country is that law enforcement must do its work with one hand tied behind its back, so to speak. Perjury is one thing. 18 USC 1001 is entirely another.
Here is another "abomination":

wherein we find that SC Mueller's very appointment is highly questionable and appears to violate three separate constitutional / statutory tenets to include the Appointments Clause and the Officer / Inferior Officer doctrine.
It is truly amusing that the FBI, and LEO in general, can freely lie to the citizens but even a mis-statement is counted a lie and a crime by the FBI. Although, like most Supreme Court justices, he was generally a sanctimonious fool, he was on to something when he said the government must cut square corners.
This is a nice little police state we've got going, isn't it?
Definition of a process crime:
A lie, deliberate or inadvertent, a misstatement of fact invariably committed ONLY be Republicans and their supporters.
BTW: comes news today that the execrable Rep Schiff met with the head of Fusion GPS WHILE the House Intel committee was conducting hearings. Schiff saw no need to recuse himself even AFTER having forced Rep Devin Nunes to recuse himself for speaking with members of the Trump Administration.
Another process crime – and one that fits MY definition above quite well.

Kanye West took to Twitter on Saturday to do what he does best: cause a total ruckus on the internet. This time, instead of getting political, it was simple: hint at an upcoming sequel to the collaboration he did years ago with his former bff who he fell out with pretty publicly a couple years ago. At least that's what fans are inferring from the incredibly brief "throne2 coming soon" he posted. So, have the two rap superstars mended their long-standing beef that seemed alive and well as recently as Jay-Z and Beyoncé's Everything Is Love album back in June? Are they at least in talks? Or is Ye getting ahead of himself? No, no that can't be it.

Daniel A. Frazier
Sergeant, United States Army
Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Public Affairs)
IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 920-09
DoD Identifies Army Casualties
The Department of Defense announced today the death of two soldiers who were supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. They died November 19, 2009, in Zabul province, Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when a suicide car-bomber attacked their unit. They were assigned to the 782d Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
Killed were:
Staff Sergeant John J. Cleaver, 36, of Marysville, Washington
Sergeant Daniel A. Frazier, 25, of Saint Joseph, Michigan
For more information the media may contact the 82nd Airborne Division public affairs office at (910) 432-0661.
American flags fluttered under an overcast sky as members of the Indiana Patriot Guard assembled with their motorcycles.
But the bikers weren't there for a morning road trip – they had a job to do.
The body of Sergeant Daniel Frazier, who was formerly of Niles and St. Joseph and stationed in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, came home at approximately 9:40 a.m. Friday to the Atlantic South Bend Terminal, where a hearse and procession of police officers, the Patriot Guard and family traveled to Brown Funeral Home in Niles.
"It's an honor to do so; I'm a Marine veteran myself," said Dennis Francis senior ride captain with the Indiana Patriot Guard. "It's an honor to be able to show the families and fallen warriors the respect he has earned.
"Their actions probably saved a lot of people in their unit," Francis said Friday.
"Freedom isn't free," a comrade added.
Frazier, 25, was killed November 18, 2009, in the Afghanistan Province of Zabul during his second tour of duty with the United States Army. According to the Defense Department, Frazier and Staff Sergeant John Cleaver, of Marysville, Washington, died of injuries from a suicide car bomber attack while supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. They were assigned to the 782nd Brigade Support Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.
Frazier was born on January 9, 1984 in Berrien Springs. He graduated from St. Joseph High School in St. Joseph in 2003 and enlisted in the Army in 2005 at age 22.
Frazier is the son of David (Sheri) Frazier, of Niles, and Roxana Walter, of Pace, Florida. He also leaves a wife whom he married on March 21, 2009, Brittany Frazier, of Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Visitation will be held Sunday at Brown Funeral Home from 4 to 8 p.m., with a celebration honoring Frazier's life Monday at 11 a.m. at the Michiana Christian Embassy in Niles.
Governor Jennifer M. Granholm has ordered United States flags throughout the state of Michigan and on Michigan waters lowered for one day Monday in honor of Frazier.
He will be laid to rest with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia.
More than a week ago Army Sergeant Daniel Frazier died in Afghanistan, after he and another soldier reportedly stopped a suicide bomber outside their base and saved dozens of lives.
Frazier, a graduate of St. Joseph High School in St. Joseph, Michigan, was on his second tour of duty.
Frazier was 25 years old; he was a husband, and a son. He was also a hero.
"He died, defending his country, his family and defending people that he doesn't even know," said Anna Phillips, who stopped by in Niles on Sunday to pay her respects.
Phillips didn't know Frazier. Neither did Bruce Kibler.
"I don't think you can make sense of it," said Kibler.
Those who came on Sunday weren't trying to make sense of what happened. Instead, they offered support.
"I think it's the only right thing to do since they're over there doing something that they should be home doing," said Phillips. "So, we come out to pay respects," she said.
That's why the Patriot Guard Riders stood outside the doors Sunday – to be there for a family coping with the ultimate loss.
"They need support now, more than ever," said Ralph Mishler, with the Patriot Guard. "They need to know that there are people in the community that care for the loss they have suffered," he said.
On Monday, folks can come out to offer that support. The funeral for Sergeant Frazier will be at 11 a.m. at Michiana Christian Embassy on 1922 E. Main Street in Niles and it is open to the public.
Frazier later will be laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia with full military honors.
30 Novembe 2009:
Family and friends gathered Monday with heavy hearts to remember a man the Army is calling a "great American hero."
25-year-old Sergeant Daniel Frazier was killed in action Noveber 19, 2009, during a suicide attack near his base in Afghanistan.
More than 200 people came to Sergeant Frazier's funeral Monday in Niles to remember his life; including his wife, his parents, his six brothers and sisters, and numerous nieces and nephews.
An Army two-star general was also at the ceremony to help stress how remarkable Frazier's sacrifice was and to thank his family for their sacrifice.
The flag-draped casket is a military family's worst fears realized.
"I can't know the depths of your sorrow, I can't even pretend to know," said Major General Scott West as he spoke at Frazier's funeral.
Despite their significance, the Bronze Star and Purple Heart presented to Frazier's family during the ceremony are little consolation for what was lost.
"I pray that you hold on to your love and your memories, because they truly last forever," said Army Chaplain Larry McCarty
The 2003 St. Joseph Michigan high school grad was an 'everyman.' Frazier liked to play video games, enjoyed "mud bogging" on the weekends, and just 8 months ago he became a husband.
Now, he's something else.
"This is a great American hero," Major General West said.
"Dying itself does not make someone a hero. It's what someone dies for that makes them a hero," said Pastor Jerry Solis, who officiated the funeral.
Reports say Frazier and another soldier may have saved more than 40 lives as they tried to prevent a suicide attack near their base.
"Because of Daniel's actions, parents will be able to welcome their kids home, wives will hold their husbands, children will play with their daddies and future generations will be born," Solis said.
Maj. Gen. West said that during a ceremony in Afghanistan, Frazier's fellow soldiers remembered him as 'a quiet professional,' and a 'perfect friend' who followed the military's values.
"He didn't just talk them. On that final day he lived them, placing himself in harm's way. He lived them, a true warrior and American hero. Never forget that he lived his values to the very end," McCarty said, addressing Frazier's parents and wife.
"His Army family shares in your sorrow and in your loss, we share your pain. Just like you, his Army family will never forget him," Major General West said.
Frazier enlisted in the army in 2006, and this was his second tour of duty.
His family says he was considered a "big brother" to many of his fellow soldiers over the years, and the Army says even his superiors remember him as a great leader.
Frazier's body is being cremated and transferred to Virginia, where he'll be laid to rest at Arlington National Cemetery on December 22nd among thousands of others who have died serving their country.
21 December 2009:
An American hero will be laid to rest Tuesday (22 December 2009) at Arlington National Cemetery.
25-year-old Sergeant Daniel Frazier of Niles was killed in Afghanistan on November 19th when he and another soldier stopped a suicide bomber to save dozens of lives.
Tuesday morning, his ashes will be buried at Arlington at 9:00am.
More than 200 people attended his funeral in November.
His wife and parents were presented the Bronze Star and a Purple Heart.

STIR stands for Short-TI Inversion Recovery and is typically used to null the signal from fat. At 1.5T fat has a T1 value of approximately 260 ms, so its TInull value is approximately 0.69 x 250 = 180 ms. The optimal value is often slightly less than this for two reasons: 1) adipose tissues contain variable amounts of water, and 2) a fast spin echo signal acquisition method is commonly used which includes the application of additional 180°-pulses and gradients. As such typical practical values of TI for STIR at 1.5T are in the 160-180 range.
The fat suppression possible by STIR is generally uniform and relatively independent of magnetic field inhomogeneities. STIR may be superior to other fat saturation methods (such as spectral "fat-sat") especially near metallic foreign bodies, near tissue interfaces with high susceptibility differences (like the skull base/sinuses), and across large body parts (such as the abdomen and pelvis). It is even possible to perform whole-body STIR imaging as a screening technique for bone metastases. In lower field permanent magnet scanners with relatively poor homogeneity, STIR is one of the only fat suppression methods available.
STIR image with excellent fat suppression, allowing optic neuritis to be well seen.
STIR (as well as other short and medium-TI sequences) has an additional useful feature — additive T1+T2 contrast. In routine SE imaging lesions with prolonged T1 and T2 have competitive effects on signal intensity (↑T1 reduces signal while ↑T2 increases signal). In STIR imaging the effects of ↑T1 and ↑T2 are additive. This results from the fact that the longitudinal magnetization of long T1 lesions on STIR remain inverted and produce a high signal as shown below.
At short to medium TI's, long T1 substances (such as CSF) are bright on magnitude IR. This is opposite to SE where long T1 values cause reduced signal intensity.
STIR cannot be used as a fat suppression technique post-gadolinium. STIR does not specifically suppress fat; it only suppresses tissues with T1 values in the range of fat (200-300 ms). Thus gadolinium-containing tissues with similar relaxation times will also be suppressed. Likewise, suppression proteinaceous materials and other short T1 tissues may occur.
Although contrast-to-noise for certain lesions may be improved, overall signal-to-noise may be poor.
The multiple 180°-pulses cause deposit extra energy and may result in tissue heating.
Graeme Bydder and Ian Young, my two colleagues from our days on the Picker MR advisory board, invented, characterized, and named the STIR sequence in their 1985 JCAT paper referenced below. In their original description STIR stood for short TI inversion recovery. Subsequent papers by others using this technique replaced the "T" in STIR with the greek letter "tau", referring to the acronym as the Short-tau Inversion Recovery. This is incorrect and a corruption of the original term, so I continue to refer to STIR by its proper (older) name.

'Key features of our proposition, including joint branding, exclusive territories, the superior IT support, opportunities for multiple income streams as well as the ongoing help and support, appear to be influencing franchisees in the decision making process,' adds Andy. 'We feel our proposition is becoming of increasing interest to smaller independent agents who, with the advent of Home Information Packs (HIPs) and the ongoing pressures to adhere to strict regulatory requirements, feel that franchising could enable them to meet the demands of the future market. The fact that they can still maintain responsibility for an agency, and even put their name to it, but at the same time have the reassurance that they have the backing and support of a national network could, we feel, be very attractive to a lot of agents.

Q: Could bash use non printing character as quote? This question originates from one use case, replace " with '', latex quirk.
I usually use ' (single quote) to enclose the script if there is " (double quote) inside, and vise verse. However, in this case, both single quote and double quote appear in this script, and I had google to find the proper way to handle it. This one provides the solution. The following is the right, but not very readable solution.
sed 's!"!'\'''\''!' {filename}

After making it work, I began to think that this awkwardness comes from this quoting mechanics. Therefore, is it possible to use non printing character as the quote? Then, we don't need to escape quote any more.

A: In bash, you have single and double quotes, and here-docs and here-strings: You could do:
sed_script=$(cat << 'END'
s/"/''/g
END
)
sed "$sed_script" filename

Sicily: Land of Myths, Maidens and Monsters
Experts + Insiders | Italy | By Christina Cain
At the crossroads of culture, Sicily has seen countless civilizations come and go over the centuries, from Greeks and Romans to Phoenicians and Arabs, the French and the Spanish, all leaving their mark on the island.
From architecture, the arts and even gastronomy, these influences come together to create an aesthetic that is uniquely Sicilian.
The largest and most diverse island in the Mediterranean, Sicily is also the place where many legends and myths were born. From monsters to maidens, we can look to the ancient Greeks and their mythology to see how this island has served as the backdrop to the classic stories of antiquity. It's proof of just how important a role Sicily played in the ancient world.
Sicily: home of gods and heroes
In the archaic Greek world, Sicily and the Aeolian Islands belonged in the realm of Myth. To the early Greeks, it was a place where gods and heroes lived, earthbound yet somehow otherworldly.
It was on the island of Sicily that Demeter and her daughter Persephone were picking flowers when the god Hades stole Persephone away to the depths of his underworld kingdom. From Sicily, Demeter, the goddess of corn and wheat, set out in search of her daughter and so, in mythology, the seasons were born. Persephone's time in the underworld correlates to the fall and winter season, and her return symbolizes the advent of spring and fertile lands.
Odysseus' epic journey
On his epic ten-year voyage home from the Trojan War, Odysseus came to Sicily and was kidnapped by Polyphemos the Cyclops, whom he blinded in order to escape.
From the Cyclops' lair, Odysseus circled around Sicily, safely passing through the clutches of Scylla, a man-eating monster that lived in a cliff-side cave across from the whirlpool of Charybdis (thought to be the straits of Messina).
On Odysseus went to visit Aeolus, the god of the winds, who lived in a castle protected by a solid bronze wall on the island of Lipari, one of Sicily's Aeolian Islands.
Daedalus and Icarus: too close to the sun
When Daedalus and Icarus made their daring escape from Crete on wings made of wax (in the midst of the voyage, Icarus famously flew too close to the sun), Daedalus made it all the way to Sicily where he built a temple to Apollo.
Hephaestos: the original ironworker
The god Hephaestos, who represents blacksmiths, artisans, metallurgy and fire, was believed to have kept his forge upon the still-active volcanic island of Vulcano (this is where the word comes from). It was at this location where he was believed to have formed the arms that protected the gods and heroes of the Trojan War.
To the archaic Greeks, Sicily was a place of gods and monsters, wonderfully rich and fertile yet fraught with danger. What truth lies behind the myths?
The integral role Sicily and the Aeolian Islands play in the mythology of the ancient Greeks is a reflection of the actual importance played by the islands in the growing civilizations of the Mediterranean as early as the Neolithic period (sixth millennium B.C.) and up through the Bronze Age.

Q: copying some nodes from an existing linked list to a new linked list I'm trying to copy some nodes (under certain condition) with my structs looking below.
struct node {
    int val;
    int height;
    node *next;
    node *down;
};

struct leapList {
    int height;
    node *head;
};

and have my function looking like
struct leapList *insertNodeToNextLv(leapList *ogList, leapList *newList) {

    node *head = malloc(sizeof(node *));
    node *newnode = malloc(sizeof(node *));
    node *current = malloc(sizeof(node *));

    while(ogList->head != NULL) {
        newnode->val = ogList->head->val;
        if(newList->head == NULL) {
            newnode->next = newList->head;
            newList->head = newnode;
        } else {
            current = newList->head;
            while(current->next != NULL) {
                current = current->next;
            }
            newnode->next = current->next;
            current->next = newnode;
        }
        ogList->head = ogList->head->next;
    }

   return newList;
}

So what I'm trying to do is, I'm trying to pass an already existing singly linked list and a newly made linked list (both in different function malloced). But something doens't seem to be working. When I try to print the original list, it prints as how I want.
I'm trying to iterate through each node in the original list, check if its not NULL (it shouldn't be) and then do the regular create new node and add it to the empty new linked list. But assign the value from the node in the original linked list to the new node I'm trying to add. Any help would be appreciated!

Dværgiris (Iris lutescens), ofte skrevet dværg-iris, er en lav staude med flade, grågrønne blade og lysegule eller violette blomster. Den er hårdfør og tidligt blomstrende, og bruges derfor af og til som haveplante i sten- eller kalkbundsbede.

Beskrivelse
Dværgiris er en flerårig, urteagtig plante med en opret, tueformet vækst. Bladene er flade og kantstillede i forhold til hinanden, lancetformede og helrandede. Begge bladsider er ensartet grågrønne. Blomstringen foregår i marts-maj, hvor man finder de forholdsvis store blomster i en kort, endestillet stand på et opret skud. De enkelte blomster er uregelmæssige (ensymmetriske) og 3-tallige med hvidgule, gule, violette eller tofarvede kronblade. Frugterne er trerummede kapsler med mange frø.

Rodsystemet består af tykke, vandret krybende og delvis fritliggende jordstængler, som bærer grove, men dybtgående trævlerødder.

Højde x bredde og årlig tilvækst: 0,25 x 0,50 m (25 x 5 cm/år). Det blomstrende skud kan dog nå ca. 35 cm højde.

Hjemsted
Dværgiris er naturligt udbredt langs Middelhavets nordlige kyster, dvs. fra Grækenland og Italien, Frankrig og Spanien til Portugal. Planten er knyttet til lysåbne eller let skyggede voksesteder med kalkrig, varm og tør bund med tyndt og næringsfattigt muldlag. Derfor findes den ofte i garrigue eller lysåbne skove.

Det fredede område ved Salève, Haute Savoie, Frankrig, ligger på en lav kæde af kalkbjerge, der forbinder Jurabjergene med Alperne, og som strækker sig ca. 15 km i sydvestlig retning fra byen Annemasse. Her vokser arten sammen med bl.a.: alpedafne, alpeskovranke, bakkejordbær, bleggul kløver, Cynoglossum germanicum (en art af hundetunge), havenellike, kantet kohvede, klitvintergrøn, Pulsatilla halleri (en art af kobjælde), skærmokseøje, sort fladbælg, strandnellike, vedbendgyvelkvæler, vild nellike og ægte alpeviol

We introduced the kids to the idea of charity by getting them to donate their time; they helped us sell Daffodils, which was a mere four hours, but the impact it had on them was profound. The kids also gained a greater understanding of how they can make a difference.
How do you raise kids to be charitable? To have an awareness outside themselves? To know that they can affect change? For Meg and I it was committing to a cause and asking them to help.
We decided to get involved with the Canadian Cancer Society. Our father passed away suddenly from the disease, so it was the obvious choice for us.
We introduced the kids to the idea of charity by getting them to donate their time; they helped us sell Daffodils, which was a mere four hours, but the impact it had on them was profound. The kids also gained a greater understanding of how they can make a difference. From that experience Meg and I realized we have to keep the ball rolling; a little altruism can go a long way.
We made it a personal goal to involve the kids in at least three charitable activities this year. They are the right age; ranging from five to eleven years-old. Our hope is, if we make a habit of it now, being charitable will provide them with a healthy dose of perspective and empathy their whole lives.
When we heard about the Canadian Cancer Society's Family Snow Day, eh! taking place in Toronto on February 15th, it seemed like a great fit for our families; a charitable event that is both an indoor and outdoor affair. We would love to see the disease eradicated and offer support to those dealing with cancer. If you would like to donate click here.
The good news is there are a ton of cool events happening this year.
If you live in Toronto or the surrounding area, visit this website for a list of Family Day activities and events. Perhaps you were hoping to bust out of the city and do something new, I think the Family Fishing Event would be super cool. We have never participated in it, but it's on my radar now.
I would love to take the kids curling here.
If spending the day eating pancakes and watching movies is more your thing, you can always enjoy an evening hike at Crawford Lake.


English full cheek snaffle bits offer excellent lateral guiding of the horse. English full cheek snaffle bits concentrate pressure on the bars and tongue. Bit keepers intensify the fixed pressure.

The predominant fundamental concept of all SABAHs remains similar, however, the geographical and population of the country had evolved the organization in their own form of influence and management. SABAH Nepal has a network of more than 2,500 women (home based workers) who are registered with the organization.
SABAH Nepal implements waste management by recycle for off-cuts and reducing use of raw materials. Implementing waste management improvements may require forward planning and some changes to the way your business operates. Some offer immediate savings and associated benefits. Textile producer undertake a range of waste-generating activities, however, the major wastes generated by this sector are fabric wastes. These include soft fabric wastes, yarn spinning wastes and off-cuts.
SABAH Bhutan needs to adopt textile design prototype. The first stage in building a textile prototype is concept development. This involves sketching the initial concept and considering, on a basic level, what fabrics to use (hard or soft, heavy or light, etc.). The next stage involves drawing patterns in order to determine the scale and size of the pattern pieces or fabric components of the product. A second prototype can then be built, the creation of which will take into account further fabric choices and detailing such as stitching type and thread colour, zips, buttons, and hook and loop attachments.
Help reduce overall development time. (design changes found during development can affect the design and redesign during the development phase can take more time and effort and significantly impact the development schedule.
Additional income for SABAH Nepal is from the TFC restaurant. Nepal CFC in other region sustain from village café generating income of NRS.500, 000 per month. . The women home based workers living in the nearest district of the capital Katmandu; own farms and harvest all kind of produces (rice, beaten rice, spinach, tomatoes, and beans). These products are being processed and distributed to the Village Cafe for cooking or selling the packaged food. SABAH Bhutan can develop similar concept both in TFC and CFCs emphasizing on mother's recipe.
