Charlie Chaplin (26.04.1889 - 25.12.1977) - American actor.
Charlie Chaplin, considered to be one of the most pivotal stars of the early days of Hollywood, lived an interesting life both in his films and behind the camera. He is most recognized as an icon of the silent film era, often associated with his popular "Little Tramp" character; the man with the toothbrush mustache, bowler hat, bamboo cane, and a funny walk.
Charles Spencer Chaplin was born in Walworth, London, England on April 26th, 1889 to Charles and Hannah (Hill) Chaplin, both music hall performers, who were married on June 22nd, 1885. After Charles Sr. separated from Hannah to perform in New York City, Hannah then tried to resurrect her stage career. Unfortunately, her singing voice had a tendency to break at unexpected moments. When this happened, the stage manager spotted young Charlie standing in the wings and led him on stage, where five-year-old Charlie began to sing a popular tune. Charlie and his half-brother, Syd Chaplin (born Sydney Hawkes), spent their lives in and out of charity homes and workhouses between their mother's bouts of insanity. Hannah was committed to Cane Hill Asylum in May of 1903 and lived there until 1921, when Chaplin moved her to California.
Chaplin began his official acting career at the age of eight, touring with The Eight Lancashire Lads. At 18 he began touring with Fred Karno's vaudeville troupe, joining them on the troupe's 1910 US tour. He traveled west to California in December 1913 and signed on with Keystone Studios' popular comedy director Mack Sennett, who had seen Chaplin perform on stage in New York. Charlie soon wrote his brother Syd, asking him to become his manager. While at Keystone, Chaplin appeared in and directed 35 films, starring as the Little Tramp in nearly all. In November 1914 he left Keystone and signed on at Essanay, where he made 15 films. In 1916, he signed on at Mutual and made 12 films. In June 1917 Chaplin signed up with First National Studios, after which he built Chaplin Studios. In 1919 he and Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford and D.W. Griffith formed United Artists (UA).
Chaplin's life and career was full of scandal and controversy. His first big scandal was during World War I, during which time his loyalty to England, his home country, was questioned. He had never applied for US citizenship, but claimed that he was a "paying visitor" to the United States. Many British citizens called Chaplin a coward and a slacker. This and his other career eccentricities sparked suspicion with FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover and the House Un-American Activities Council (HUAC), who believed that he was injecting Communist propaganda into his films. Chaplin's later film The Great Dictator (1940), which was his first "talkie", also created a stir. In the film Chaplin plays a humorous caricature of Adolf Hitler. Some thought the film was poorly done and in bad taste. However, it grossed over $5 million and earned five Academy Award Nominations.
Another scandal occurred when Chaplin briefly dated 22-year-old Joan Barry. However, Chaplin's relationship with Barry came to an end in 1942, after a series of harassing actions from her. In May of 1943 Barry returned to inform Chaplin that she was pregnant, and filed a paternity suit, claiming that the unborn child was his. During the 1944 trial blood tests proved that Chaplin was not the father, but at the time blood tests were inadmissible evidence and he was ordered to pay $75 a week until the child turned 21. Chaplin was also scrutinized for his support in aiding the Russian struggle against the invading Nazis during World War II, and the U.S. government questioned his moral and political views, suspecting him of having Communist ties. For this reason HUAC subpoenaed him in 1947. However, HUAC finally decided that it was no longer necessary for him to appear for testimony. Conversely, when Chaplin and his family traveled to London for the premier of _Limelight (1952)_ , he was denied re-entry to the United States. In reality, the government had almost no evidence to prove that he was a threat to national security. He and his wife decided, instead, to settle in Switzerland.
Chaplin was married four times and had a total of 11 children. In 1918 he wed Mildred Harris, they had a son together, Norman Spencer Chaplin, who only lived three days. Chaplin and Mildred were divorced in 1920. He married Lita Grey in 1924, who had two sons, Charles Chaplin Jr. and Sydney Chaplin. They were divorced in 1927. In 1936, Chaplin married Paulette Goddard and his final marriage was to Oona O'Neill (Oona Chaplin), daughter of playwright Eugene O'Neill in 1943. Oona gave birth to eight children: Geraldine Chaplin, Michael Chaplin, Josephine Chaplin, Victoria Chaplin, Eugene, Jane, Annette-Emilie and Christopher Chaplin.
In contrast to many of his boisterous characters, Chaplin was a quiet man who kept to himself a lot. He also had an "un-millionaire" way of living. Even after he had accumulated millions, he continued to live in shabby accommodations.
In 1921 Chaplin was decorated by the French government for his outstanding work as a filmmaker, and was elevated to the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honor in 1952. In 1972 he was honored with an Academy Award for his "incalculable effect in making motion pictures the art form of the century." In 1975 England's Queen Elizabeth II knighted him. Chaplin's other works included musical scores he composed for many of his films. He also authored two autobiographical books, "My Autobiography" in 1964 and its companion volume, "My Life in Pictures" in 1974. Chaplin died of natural causes on December 25, 1977 at his home in Switzerland.
In 1978, Chaplin's corpse was stolen from its grave and was not recovered for three months; he was re-buried in a vault surrounded by cement. Charlie Chaplin was considered one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of American cinema, whose movies were and still are popular throughout the world, and have even gained notoriety as time progresses. His films show, through the Little Tramp's positive outlook on life in a world full of chaos, that the human spirit has and always will remain the same.

Is It Possible To Find Framed Chalkboards For Sale?
If you have come to a decision to sell your home but are worried that it won't sell as quickly as you would like it to read some of the tips below. They are designed to guide you in the right direction to getting more viewings and a faster sale.
The first tip is to put your home up for sale on a Friday. This may seem a bit odd however it has been proven by the real estate company 'Redfin' that homes put on the market this day sell faster than most.
They are in fact almost guaranteed to sell within 81 days of being on the market at a price close to or an exact match to the asking price.
The next thing I'm guessing you are worried about is that you put your home up for sale on a different day of the week. Not to worry, if you continue to follow the tips below your property should sell just as well.
The next tip is to put your property up for sale in April as they often sell much closer to their asking price. There is a 99.2 percent sale price in the summer compared to a 97.3 percent sale price in the winter.
In order to price your home yourself you will need to understand the going rate for properties in your area whilst looking at factors of your own home that may increase the price or lower it. Make sure that you price your property at a competitive rate rather than one below the markets asking price.
Before putting up any photos of your home it is important to make sure that they are professional and of the best quality.
e. A photo of the home taken in the summeling.
Finally you should aim to remove from sight any clutter in your home so that buyers can visualise themselves living there. Clutter can often be distracting and put people off a property.
It doesn't necessarily have to be like a show room but it should be clean and tidy. You can however if you want to pay for your home to be professionally staged where a company will come in and fill it with all of the latest trends and designs. A pricey operation that most probably doesn't need doing if you follow the above steps.
Katy writes for Quick Cash For House where she puts all of her time into discovering ways in which people can sell their property as quickly as possible.

Labor has more front than Myer criticising anyone over debt.
If Labor was facing Peter Costello and John Howard or a responsible LNP Government Labor's Chris Bowen and Jim Chalmers would be in the foetal position or rocking on their hands making blub blub blub noises.
But Labor isn't facing a responsible government.
It's facing the Government of Turnbull.

"Lawmaker Seeks White House E-Mail Report," by Pete Yost, Associated Press, in Washington Post, Aug. 30, 2007.
Washington DC, September 5, 2007 - The National Security Archive today sued the White House seeking the recovery and preservation of more than 5 million White House e-mail messages that were apparently deleted from White House computers between March 2003 and October 2005.
The lawsuit filed this morning in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia names as defendants the Executive Office of the President and its components that are subject to the Federal Records Act, including the White House Office of Administration (OA), and the National Archives and Records Administration (which is responsible for long-term preservation of federal and presidential records), under the records laws and the Administrative Procedure Act.
White House officials ranging from spokesperson Dana Perino to counsel Keith Roberts have acknowledged in press and Congressional briefings that e-mail is missing from the White House archive, and that the EOP in 2002 abandoned the electronic records management system put in place by the Clinton White House. Whistleblowers cited in conjunction with a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) have alleged that more than 5 million e-mail messages are missing from the White House servers.
"The Bush White House broke the law and erased our history by deleting those e-mail messages," said National Security Archive director Tom Blanton. "The period of the missing email starts with the invasion of Iraq and runs through the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina."
Archive general counsel Meredith Fuchs said, "Without court oversight, there's no guarantee the White House will ever recover the missing e-mails or install an effective archiving system."
"The law is clear that e-mails count as government records," said attorney Sheila Shadmand of the law firm Jones Day, which is representing the Archive. "The White House admits e-mails are missing but we have no assurance they are fixing the problem."
The National Security Archive, an independent non-governmental organization based at George Washington University, brought the original White House e-mail lawsuit (which included a wide range of scholarly, library and public interest co-plaintiffs) against Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. That lawsuit produced landmark rulings in the early 1990s that e-mail had to be treated as government records. Those rulings led to the preservation of more than 30 million White House e-mail messages from the 1980s and 1990s.

More than 16K fish to be released in Florida after red tide devastates marine life
PORT RICHEY – More than 16,000 young and adult redfish are slated for release into the Gulf of Mexico and Tampa Bay after one of the worst outbreaks of red tide killed hundreds of thousands of tons of marine life.
It's an effort to rejuvenate fisheries and their surrounding environments.
The Coastal Conservation Association Florida, partnering with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and Duke Energy, plan to begin the process Tuesday.
They'll meet at 11 a.m. at Brasher Park.
"We're extremely excited to begin releasing these fish now that the waters are determined to be safe," Brian Gorski, CCA Florida's executive director, said in a news release.
CCA Florida says each of its releases includes about 2,000 juvenile redfish and 25-30 adult fish. All were hatchery-reared at the Duke Energy Mariculture Center in Crystal River.
After working in Pasco County, crews plan to meet again Feb. 7 at Hillsborough County's Cockroach Bay Ramp in Ruskin and Pinellas County's Fort De Soto Park.
Release dates for Charlotte, Collier, Lee, Manatee and Sarasota counties still are to be determined.

Storymaker People: Hicham Mansouri
Hicham Mansouri (36) is an investigative journalist and was one of the coordinators of the StoryMaker project in Morocco. Mansouri believes that "StoryMaker can serve people who sincerely want to advocate for human rights."
Hicham Mansouri is one of the five Moroccan human rights defenders who was charged with "threatening the internal security of the State" last year. Mansouri worked as a coordinator of the StoryMaker project in Morocco. StoryMaker is a tool designed to train citizens and journalists to create and share stories. The project was aimed at helping journalists and citizen journalists become professional storytellers by focusing on fundamentals of journalism, photo, audio, video and storytelling. StoryMaker makes storytelling easy with guided templates and a simple editing suite.
Mansouri worked on this project for a few months before he was arrested in March 2015, supposedly for committing adultery. Speculations on this led to assumptions that the government was already targeting Mansouri because of his work with Centre Ibn Rochd d'Etudes et de Communication and well-known historian and activist Maati Monjib. Mansouri was sentences to ten months in prison, during which time, he was charged along with his colleagues for another ¨offense.¨ This time related to his work on the StoryMaker project. It became clear that the Moroccan authorities framed the activities under the StoryMaker project as threatening to the country's security. During this time, crackdowns on all independent media and human rights organizations increased forcing many to close their doors and stop operations. In some cases forcing individuals to leave the country.
"After my arrest I was interrogated about StoryMaker and the objective of the project. I told them the truth, but they acted like they did not believe me. But all of that is just a pretext, they know I am innocent. They just did not want to release someone who is supposedly a threat to national security, a charge that is used as a justification for the illegitimate crackdown on freedom of expression."
Hicham currently lives in exile after serving ten months in prison. The case is still open and on June 29th these five journalists are facing new legal action when their case goes to trial again after earlier court sessions during which the case was postponed twice.
Mansouri plays a very important role as an advocate for human rights in Morocco. Along with his work for a regional newspaper called Machahid, Hicham Mansouri coordinated professional journalism training sessions for the Centre Ibn Rochd d'Etudes et de Communication and has been an exceptional coordinator for StoryMaker training sessions. As such, he is responsible for organizing the workshops, selecting the participants and for coaching people in making good videos with StoryMaker.
One of those videos was made by a citizen journalist, who filmed a group of students from Fes, who were promised by the political party Istiqlal, 100 dirhams a day plus food as part of their participation in a political protest on the 1st of May. "In reality they didn't receive anything and they were stuck in Rabat without any food or money", Mansouri says. "The images support earlier accusations against Istiqlal to exploit youngsters for political campaigning. After the release of the video the Istiqlal party claimed that this video was fabricated and that people were earning money by broadcasting this video.
Another example is a story called "Your bins are our meals", by another journalist, who showed great creativity with his video. He captured moments in which homeless people eat garbage from the dustbin. The story launches a humanitarian call to end this humiliating phenomenon and fight hunger in society."
Why do you believe in StoryMaker as a journalism tool?
"It's a small tool, that is easy to use. I think smartphones will have a much bigger role in the media landscape. StoryMaker makes it possible for truly motivated people to tell their own stories. People who live in places where they don't have rights, or in a village that doesn't have water. If StoryMaker will be accessible to more people, it will serve those people who want to advocate for human rights."
Are you still motivated to be a journalist after this time in prison?
"Even more so than before. Although the first month after I came out of prison I was just resting. Life in prison was hard. Of course it's hard to have no freedom, but it was really terrible to share one cell with 41 people and only 24 beds. But I found a way to deal with it, I had a couple of pencils and I could write about everything that happened in there. It was interesting to come into contact with criminals, to learn more about how they think, how they work, how they committed their crimes and why they did it. All of this is very different from what we expect. Much more complex. I am writing about that."
Why are the authorities so controlling about StoryMaker?
"There are several successful stories and maybe they are afraid of how it will flourish in the future. I don't see that one StoryMaker video has a huge impact in itself, but they are afraid that many small fires will cause one big fire. Today everyone has a smartphone in his pocket. Citizen journalism contributes to investigations. Investigative journalism is seen as a threat by the Moroccan authorities. Today, the best investigative journalists in Morocco, like Aboubak Jamaï, Ali Lmrabet, Ahmed Reda Benchemsi and - recently - Ali Anouzla, are in exile. They cannot work in Morocco. They were all victims of unfair trials or imprisonment."
On June 23 2016 Ruth Kronenburg, Director Operations of Free Press Unlimited, made a statement at the 'Roundtable on Human Rights and Press Freedom in Morocco' at the Assemblee Nationale, Paris.

Better Cardiac Care measures for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people: second national report 2016
Enter the email address where you would like the PDF sent. This address will not be used for any other purpose.
Newer release available
This is the second national report on the 21 Better Cardiac Care measures for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, with updated data available to report on 11 measures. For some of the measures, a better or similar rate for Indigenous Australians compared with non-Indigenous Australians was apparent, while on other measures, higher rates of ill health and death from cardiac conditions and lower rates of in-hospital treatment services among Indigenous Australians were evident. A number of measures suggested improvements for Indigenous Australians over time; examples include a decline in the death rate due to cardiac conditions and an increase in the proportion who received an MBS health assessment.
Cat. no: IHW 169
Findings from this report:
Incidence of acute rheumatic fever is 59 per 100,000 Indigenous Australians and 0.2 per 100,000 other Australians
The in-hospital death rate for heart attack hospitalisations was similar for Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians
Indigenous Australians were 1.6 times as likely as non-Indigenous Australians to die from cardiac conditions
Between 1998 and 2013, the gap in cardiac death rates between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians narrowed by 47%

I remember three dreams.
I was kidnapped and Vin Diesel (as Riddick i think) came to save me. I was following the man in charge of a group when I saw him, there were other people too in the line and around. Taking what seemed to be a fraction of a second he took down the man and dressed like him while also acting like him. He told me with his face and a few words to continue the charade. A guard thought it was suspicious and Vin threatened him and he immediately stopped being suspicious. He stopped in a room before where we were supposed to go, I was afraid but followed him and did everything he said.
I stood up to goons who were angry that Harper did not get elected. They were big and furious and I did not care. I told them that if they liked dictators (or something like that) to wait until a republican was elected in the United States and to move there since he loved Harper and Bush so much (i think i may of also said a few or 1 countries who has real dictartorship).
I heard a sound after I fell asleep and that sound immediately woke me up (cannot recall exactly what it was).

I ride both on the road and on the MTB, so if I'm not fitting, I'll probably be riding!
So you're here because you're not pain free on the bike, or you're wanting to improve performance?
Hello, I'm Stephen Jarmuz. Bike Fitter, cyclist, experienced Sports Therapist, and beholder of a keen eye for detail.
I've been a Sports Therapist all of my working life, and have developed a wealth of experience working with cyclists of varying levels up to pro & world tour. This led into bike fitting around 6 years ago. Since then I have performed over 1000 bike fits, both as part of Yorkshire Bike Fitting, and previously for one of the leading bike shops in the UK. Helping people to become pain free and achieve their goals.
Customer satisfaction is at the top of my list of priorities and always been. When I started fitting for myself I decided that my fittings would be as thorough as possible. As a result, no stone is left unturned during your session and you'll have the best position possible!
But you don't need to be an elite level cyclist to benefit from a bike fit... With an extensive background in working with recreational cyclists and sportive riders as well as racers, I can help you to reach that next level in your chosen discipline that you've been striving hard to achieve!


Need of policy research is well-established in view of prevalent practice in the government to make hasty and ill-considered decisions on the basis of limited experiences of related officials and under the influence of powerful vested interests. It is, therefore, important that civil society groups undertake policy research and hence, by adopting a proactive approach, engage with the relevant authorities to make policies which are cognizant of the interests and concerns of all the stakeholders, especially the marginalized ones, who are often too weak to articulate and campaign for their rights. It is in this context that CRCP conducts policy research and gives feedback to the policy-makers.
In areas where CRCP felt that significant consumer stakes were involved, efforts were made to positively influence the policy making process through a proactive approach. Consumers remain a neglected category, as the link of their protection with the improvement in overall macro-economic indicators seems not to be strong enough in the eyes of policy makers. CRCP is committed to strive for a consumer policy, which could address the consumer concerns in Pakistan through a holistic and comprehensive approach. For this purpose, a number of representations were made to the concerned governmental organizations. One such representation was related to the budget whereby the government was suggested to make consumer policy announcement integral to budget statement. Greater awareness now exists about the issue.
CRCP has also been actively involved in policy input that includes deregulation of gas and petroleum sector, national policy for quality control, proposed Ordinance of Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices (Control and Prevention) Ordinance 1970, licenses granted by NEPRA to power generation and Distribution Companies, Proposed Performance Standards of NEPRA for Power Distribution, and Proposed Consumer Eligibility Criteria of NEPRA.

Meet The Accidental Designer Of The GitHub And Twitter Logos
Simon Oxley, an iStockphoto power user, was launched to fame after his drawings were bought by Twitter. Now, he designs logos for startups all over the world.
By Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan 2 minute Read
Simon Oxley was drinking beer and watching TV on his couch (like any good freelancer) when he noticed that a hot new startup called Twitter was using his art as a logo. At first, he thought he was drunk. "I checked the label on the beer I was drinking and called my wife to come see," he says. "It was a total, surreal surprise."
Oxley, who is British-born and Tokyo-based, was (and is) a freelance contributor to iStockphoto, one of the web's most popular resources for stock photos and illustrations. He originally joined the service because Adobe Creative Suite came with a free membership. But since then, he's become a power user, uploading almost 10,000 images and selling 100,000. He was even asked to design iStockphoto's own logo, in 2009.
His biggest sales, though, have been from startups like Twitter, who paid "a relatively small amount of money" for a library of images including the bird and the robot, which still appears when you visit a broken link. The tweeting bird has since been replaced by a succession of avian variations, but thanks to the long memory of the Internet, it resurfaces every now and then. "It always makes me laugh when I still see organizations using my bird to link to their Twitter feed," Oxley says. "Thank you!"
Shortly after his name emerged as the designer of Twitter's original mark, Oxley was approached by GitHub, the open source code community. They purchased a package of graphics from Oxley's stock library as well, including their Octocat logo, for a flat fee. As you might imagine, the GitHub community remakes the logo on a regular basis: there are hundreds of iterations, including a Homer Simpson version, a Shepard Fairey version, and–predictably–a Nyan Cat version.
That kind of adaptability is a direct symptom of the iStockphoto model, which lets buyers do what they want with purchased images. "Once I submit images to stock collections, I lose control over how folks use them," he explains. Which requires a completely different mindset than the average graphic designer–but Oxley enjoys watching his work develop a life of its own on the Internet. "It can grate, but it's allowed me to broadcast to a far larger audience than I could have single handedly appealed to, so I am grateful for people downloading my stuff and enjoy continuing to produce more."
His success as a stock graphic artist has led to a number of unusual projects. For example, this year he travelled to Russia to work on Gitune.com, a video-based social networking site that will launch in the next few weeks. He's also frequently retained to draw characters and mascots for Japanese sites–so often, in fact, that he's currently represented by Sony in Japan. In some ways, Oxley is the most famous designer you've never heard of–and his anonymity is increasingly common. As companies get leaner, flat-rate fees and work on spec are becoming the norm. "I suppose when anyone uses the Internet to broadcast there's a sense of 'be careful what you wish for,'" Oxley adds. "[I] just hope to never lose the fundamental enjoyment of drawing while appreciating any positive recognition from the wider world."
Kelsey Campbell-Dollaghan is Co.Design's deputy editor.

The primary altar at Wat Phou (pronounced vat pu) in Champassak has three main large Buddha statues. However at the base of them are additions done by both monks and lay followers. As seen in this photo, we see offerings, decorations and adornments that include flowers, additional Buddha statues, handmade paper stupas, and flower garlands. It's particular packed after a big celebration. See if you can pick out any other additional items.

Q: gcc, UTF-8 and limits.h My OS is Debian, my default locale is UTF-8 and my compiler is gcc. By default CHAR_BIT in limits.h is 8 which is ok for ASCII because in ASCII 1 char = 8 bits. But since I am using UTF-8, chars can be up to 32 bits which contradicts the CHAR_BIT default value of 8.
If I modify CHAR_BIT to 32 in limits.h to better suit UTF-8, what do I have to do in order for this new value to come into effect ? I guess I have to recompile gcc ? Do I have to recompile the linux kernel ? What about the default installed Debian packages, will they work ?

A: CHAR_BIT is the number of bits in a char; never, ever change this. It is not going to have the effect you want.
Instead, work with strings of UTF-8 encoded chars, or use strings of wchar_t if you want to store Unicode characters directly.*
* Small print: The size of wchar_t is system-dependent as well. On Windows with MSVC, it's only 16 bits, which is only sufficient for the Basic Multilingual Plane. You can use it with UTF-16, though, which plays nice with the Windows API. On most other systems, wchar_t gives you the full 32 bits.

A: You do not need char to be 32 bits to have UTF-8 encoding. UTF-8 is variable length encoding and it is designed for characters of 8-bit and it is backward compatible to ascii.
You may also use wchar_t that is 32 bit (on Linux) but generally it would not you give to
much added value because Unicode processing is much more complicated then just code-points management.

A: UTF-8 encodes 1 character in several bytes.
Also, do not edit your system header files. (and no, modifying CHAR_BITS will not work, recompiling the kernel/gcc or whatnot).

A: I'm pretty sure that CHAR_BIT is the number of bits in the 'char' variable type, not the maximum number of bits in any character.  As you noticed it's a constant in limits.h, which doesn't change based on the locale settings.
CHAR_BIT will equal 8 on any reasonably new / sane system... non 8-bit words is rare these days :)

A: C and C++ define char as a byte, i.e., the integer type for which sizeof returns 1.  It doesn't have to be 8 bits, but the overwhelming majority of the time, it is.  IMHO, it should have been named byte.  But back in 1972 when C was created, Westerners didn't have to deal with multi-byte character encodings, so you could get away with conflating the "character" and "byte" types.
You just have to live with the confusing terminology.  Or typedef it away.  But don't edit your system header files.  If you want a character type instead of a byte type, use wchar_t.
But a UTF-8 string is made of 8-bit code units, so char will work just fine.  You just have to remember the distinction between char and character.  For example, don't do this:
void make_upper_case(char* pstr)
{
   while (*pstr != '\0')
   {
      *pstr = toupper(*pstr);
      pstr++;
   }
}

toupper('a') works as expected, but toupper('\xC3') is a nonsensical attempt to uppercase half of a character.

Information system K2 helps with production and distribution of luxury cosmetics
Customer story about how K2 is used by the Pacific Direct group. From Holice to Dubaj.
Four product lines under one roof
For the Holicke-based Pacific Direct to be able to produce the current 45 million units a year, they need to have four different production lines:
blowing of plastic bottles,
mixing of cosmetic fillings,
the filing of cosmetic products together with the assembly of gift packages,
screen printing of the bottles.
In all four of these lines meanwhile the Information System K2 assists.
The implementation was completed in 2002, and since that time the Information System K2 became an indispensable part of the company´s global success. The company originally began with ten user licences, while today they already use more than a five-times multiple of that figure.
Overseas the Information System K2 is used mainly in the USA and England. The branches use the features for the support of logistics and management of trade and financial agendas. A large group of users is also based in Dubai.
Barcode readers in warehouses and electronic exchange of documents
In warehouses, the goods-inwards and goods-outwards, as well as in other departments, Pacific Direct s.r.o. uses barcode readers, directly connected to the information system K2 over WiFi. Each user is logged in through his name and the reader displays what goods he is to prepare or where to put the goods from the warehouse. "The reader meanwhile records any changes, so it can be found out where any error happened," says the Production Director of Pacific Direct s.r.o., Petr Kulhavý.
As soon as the goods are manufactured and packed, they head to the warehouse. The Information System K2 will meanwhile advise where to store the product on the basis of the same or similar goods. After the goods are stored at the warehouse that batch appears only in the virtual warehouse of quality control and waits for the results of laboratory analysis. Until, when the result of analysis is positive the goods are ready for release.
From 2014 Pacific Direct s.r.o. started to use also external warehouses of a nearby company, which coincidentally also uses the K2 Information System. The exchange of inventory data, i.e. goods inward, outward and transfer receipts, takes place electronically. The systems take over the generated XML files eliminating the need to enter the information manually.
Work with batches and dates of expiry
"Manufacture of cosmetic goods is subject to strict standards and quality requirements. That is why it is very important for us to link with the batches. In the individual lots and barcodes that are linked to them is saved the production information, expiry dates, results of laboratory tests and other information. Through this we can at any time trace back which machine was operated by which employee including from which lot he made the product," says the administrator of Information System K2, Jan Fuksa.
In addition, the Information System K2, keeps track of all of the lots by means of ´traffic lights´. Production or raw material with a lot number up to 120 days is reported in the system as without problems, therefore green. When this number becomes 120 – 360 days, however, the colour becomes yellow, clearly letting you know that that material or goods needs to be processed. For goods older then 360 days a red colour lights up requiring immediate solution.
The K2 Information System in combination with bar codes then helps especially when you do the inventory: "Stock taking is now carried out by 7 people, instead of the former 27. The overall handling of the products is much faster on the whole, more precise and more transparent," says the Production Director, Petr Kulhavý.
The advantage of Information System K2 being open
Pacific Direct uses to a great degree one of the main advantages of the Information System K2 - its accessability. Companies have the option, in the same environment as programmers K2, to independently edit the system. In simpler and more pressing cases the firm can also use self-help and use the system as a platform through which it develops the system on its own in-house software.
That's why at Pacific Direct they write much of the script for the K2 information system themselves. "Experts from K2 atmitec always come for consultation once a month, to help debug these scripts, or advise with more complex tasks," says the Administrator of the Information System K2, Jan Fuksa.
It was also possible, thanks to the openness of the Information System K2, to connect to additional third-party functionality, such as the calculation of wages on the basis of information from the attendance record. It registers employees´ attendance; this information is then sent to the Information System K2. The system then automatically drafts the documents for payment of wages.
Reports from around the world
K2 atmitec also collects data from branches, which do not have the Information System K2. These are convert each day and then stored in the Data centre K2. Always in the morning there are created several summary reports for the management based in England, who thus have a clear daily overview of sales, inventory and financial results throughout the world.
The future of cooperation
"With K2 we are currently engaged in solving the options for online B2B selling. Clients often order the same items and thanks to internet selling it would be possible to significantly facilitate these orders," the administrator of the Information System K2 Jan Fuksa comments on future cooperation.
Since the introduction of the Information System K2, the overall handling of products is much faster on the whole, more accurate, and the view of activities is clearer and more comprehensive." We don´t ever sign out from the warehouse what we don't need, including more or less amount than we require. In addition, the Information System K2 saves manpower - inventory today is taken care of -at the same volumes of work and time - by only 7 people instead of the past 27.
In the production I feel that the biggest benefit of K2 is in the supporting documents for my decision making, as well as for that of the Production Manager. Today we have all outputs directly from the system and decide on the basis of clear data, not feelings, and suppositions. In addition, I have a clear overview of who worked on what, what falls into the category of unproductive time in respect of products, and what on the contrary are the productive times.
I would point out to companies who are newly implementing the IS, that a common general error in the beginning is that the processes in ERP do not mirror the reality. These situations should be avoided right from the early days. For example, a palet that is already physically in the warehouse does not have to appear online at the same time in the information system.
Petr Kulhavý, Pacific Direct s.r.o.
An international enterprise Pacific Direct Group, develops and manufactures branded and private luxury cosmetics in the volumes from 3 ml to 5 liters, including packages and gift sets. Products are shipped mostly to hotels, ocean-going liners, airline companies, luxury chains and to retail and wholesale networks in more than 110 countries.
The Czech branch of Pacific Direct s.r.o. is based in the town of Holice, a few miles from Pardubice. It carries out complete production processes.

After becoming registered in North Carolina in 1977, Walter Davis started a sole proprietorship known as Walter Davis, Architect, AIA. From 1977 to 1985 Walter Davis Architect, AIA grew as the firm began to establish a steady client base.
In 1997, Walter Davis took on a partner, Kevin M. Kane, who had worked for the company as a project architect/manager for many years. In 1998, the firm recognized this partnership with the name change to Davis Kane Architects, P.A., which is the name the firm is known by today.
In 2003 Walter Davis, retiring, divested in the firm and Robert Stevenson became a partner at Davis Kane Architects. Davis Kane continues to grow and build upon our knowledge base. Each new project brings with it a new set of challenges and opportunities for learning; celebrating over forty years of sucessful design, we look forward to these challenges as we continue to write our history.
Our Office, designed by Davis Kane Architects, is located in the Cameron Village area of Raleigh, North Carolina near NC State University and minutes from the Capital City's downtown.

Q: Extract values between two patterns I am using Ubuntu and I want to extract the values between two patterns and the required string is not in the file.
My data is as shown below:
[{"rows":[{"_uuid":["uuid","11111-222-33333-4444444"]}]}]

I want to get the text between , and ], and that means I want 11111-222-33333-444444. How can I do this using sed?

*

*Ubuntu is the operating system I'm using.

*It was not stored in any file or variable. It was the output of one command. I want to pipe the output of command1 to sed and parse the above string to get only the required information.

*It was in JSON format. This was the only data we would be getting...

A: If we can be certain that there is always only one , per line, and you want everything between that , and the first ] that comes after it, you can use sed:
 $ echo '[{"rows":[{"_uuid":["uuid","11111-222-33333-4444444"]}]}]' | sed 's/.*,\([^]]*\)\].*/\1/'
"11111-222-33333-4444444"

or, to also avoid the quotes:
   $ echo '[{"rows":[{"_uuid":["uuid","11111-222-33333-4444444"]}]}]' | sed 's/.*,"\([^]]*\)"\].*/\1/'
11111-222-33333-4444444

However, since this looks like JSON data, you should not use sed as this solution will break with even the smallest change in the input format. You should use a dedicated JSON parser like jq instead.

A: Using jq (which does not care whether the input is in compact or multi-line form):
your-command | jq -r '.[0].rows[0]._uuid[1]'

Your JSON document is an array consisting of objects and you want the first of these top-level objects, .[0]. That object contains a rows array, and you want the first of its elements, .rows[0]. That element has another array called _uuid, and you want that array's second element, ._uuid[1].
With -r you get the decoded, "raw", data back. Without -r, you get a (quoted) JSON string.

A totally different way of getting the data from this particular JSON document would be to get the last value in the document:
your-comand | jq -r 'getpath([paths(scalars)][-1])'

This first generates all "paths" for each scalar value in the whole document with paths, and picks out the last of them.  The expression then uses this path-of-the-last-scalar with getpath to pull out the last value.  For the given document, this results in the expected output.
The following is probably doing the same thing, but with explicit recursion using .. and with select() to pull out all scalar values:
your-command | jq -r '[.. | select(scalars)][-1]'

Personally, I would go with the topmost suggestion in this answer, as it uses the structure of the document, which is bound to be meaningful to the user in some way.  That code would have to be revisited, and the question reformulated, if any of the involved arrays starts containing more elements.

A: If your valuable data contains just numbers and -, you can use this. (If uuid longer than 23, no problem.)
echo '[{"rows":[{"_uuid":["uuid","11111-222-33333-4444444"]}]}]' | sed  -n "s/.*,\"\([0-9-]\{23,\}\)\"].*/\1/p"

Output :
11111-222-33333-4444444

The first thing that Elliott Roosevelt did when he arrived at the Democratic Party's convention in Chicago in 1932 was to make sure that the curtains were fully drawn across the front of the stage. He had to ensure that the audience of thousands were not in a position to sneak a view of what he had to do in thirty minutes time.
Satisfied that his actions would not be visible, the twenty-two year old son of the former governor of New York then introduced himself to the sound engineer and made sure that the recording would be played as soon as the curtains opened, and hurried back to the stage door where his father was waiting in the car. He lifted his father's wheelchair out of the trunk, pushed it to the front passenger door and opened it.
"You ready Dad?" he asked. Franklin D Roosevelt nodded his approval.
By this time Franklin already knew that he had the won the nomination to be the party's presidential candidate by a landslide, but this was to be the first time that the successful candidate had appeared at the convention to accept the nomination in person. The Roosevelt family had flown to Chicago from Buffalo that morning in a cramped Ford Trimotor plane. Passenger air transport was in its infancy, and the journey through thunderstorms had been arduous. Several members of the family were sick, but their father seemed to relish this new experience. Elliott and his brothers had had great difficulty in carrying their six foot three inch father to his seat, and it was even more difficult to get him off the plane without revealing the full extent of his disability to the waiting press. Elliott and his father were relieved that there were no newsreel cameras at the airport.
As Franklin reached for the top of the car door for support, Elliot reached into the bottom of the footwell and grabbed his father's surgical boots to swing him through ninety degrees so that he was facing him. He then felt for the locking mechanisms on both his father's leg irons, straightened his legs and lifted him out of the car into an upright position. His brother James then brought the wheelchair nearer and Elliott swung his father through one hundred and eighty degrees so that he was in contact with the wheelchair. As Elliott found the locking mechanism on his father's leg irons to put him in a sitting position, James lifted him by the armpits to make sure he was correctly seated.
Elliott began to push his father toward the stage door when his father cried out "My cane, Son". They had forgotten that soon to be president's walking cane was still in the trunk.
Once Franklin and his cane were reunited, Elliott continued the journey. It was still difficult; the corridors were narrow and there were six steps up to the rear of the stage. Elliott, James and a couple of stagehands had to the nominee in his wheelchair onto the stage.
Today would be the first day of a frenetic campaign in which Franklin would visit over twenty states, travelling by car, plane and train. At each stop his sons would have to manhandle him in the same way that they were doing today, and each time they did so aides would be deployed to make sure that no press photographers were around to see the full extent of the candidate's physical impairment. In the FDR presidential library at Hyde Park, New York there are over 35,000 photos of Franklin D Roosevelt. Only one of them shows him in his wheelchair. He was concerned that if the full extent of his disability became public knowledge, he would be unelectable. Before 1932 presidential candidates did not campaign on the road, they stayed at home and wrote articles for newspapers. FDR would change campaigning for ever because he wanted to be seen as a man of action. Firstly he needed to convince the American public that despite surviving Polio eleven years earlier he was physically capable of doing the job, but secondly he just loved campaigning.
When they reached the podium James straightened his father's legs and lifted him out of his wheelchair into an upright position. FDR grabbed the podium to support himself and the wheelchair was taken out of sight. Elliott signalled to the stage manager, and the as the curtains opened the recording of "Happy Days Are Here Again" began to play to the audience, but was drowned out by applause.
FDR lifted one arm from the podium to quell the cheers and began his speech with the words "Let us now and here resolve to resume the country's interrupted march along the path of real progress, of real justice, of real equality for all of our citizens, great and small."
The new deal had begun. A few months later FDR won the presidency by a landslide.
After the convention was over the Roosevelt family went to their hotel. In the hotel bedroom it was Elliott and James who helped their father undress, taking the leg irons off one by one, standing them in the corner and lifting their father onto the bed.
People with disabilities have always taken part in sports. Here is a picture of my Dad, Charlie Bradford, taken at a motor tricycle rally organised by the Invalid Tricycle Association in Finsbury Park, London in about 1949. I can't tell you any more about the event; I was only one year old at the time!
I'll tell you more about the ITA and its sports rallies later on in the blog, but first let's talk about the Paralympic movement and its founder, Sir Ludwig Guttmann.
Guttmann was born in Tost, Upper Silesia, Germany (now Toszek, Poland) and graduated in medicine at the University of Breslau in 1924. As a student, he developed a deep interest in the treatment of spinal cord injuries. He came to Great Britain as a refugee in 1939 and continued his research at Oxford. In 1944, he founded the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire. Most of his patients were ex-servicemen who had been injured in the war.
Guttmann believed that sport was a method of therapy, using it to help build physical strength and self-respect. He organised the first Stoke Mandeville Games tournament in 1948, and by 1952, this annual event was attracting over 130 international competitors. It continued to grow, impressing Olympics officials and the international community. In 1956 he was awarded the Fearnley Cup, an award for outstanding contribution to theOlympic ideal.
His vision of an international games the equivalent of the Olympics came to fruition in 1960 when the International Stoke Mandeville Games were held in Rome alongside the official IOC 1960 Summer Olympics. Known at the time as the 9th Annual International Stoke Mandeville Games, the Rome games are now recognised as the first Paralympic Games.
In Seoul in 1988 the Paralympic Summer Games were held directly after the Olympic Summer Games, in the same host city, and using the same facilities. This set a precedent that has been followed ever since.
The Paralympic movement originated in Great Britain, and GB has always aimed high and achieved high. Since 1960 GB has been awarded 493 gold medals in the summer games, more than any other country outside the United States, which has been awarded 666 summer golds.
Trischa Zorn of the United States is the most decorated Paralympian in history. She competed in the blind swimming events and won a total of 55 medals, 41 of which are gold. Her Paralympic career spanned 24 years from 1980 to 2004.
Great Britain's most decorated paralympian isTanni Grey Thompson, who won a total of 16 medals, including 11 golds, held over 30 world records, and won the London Marathon six times between 1992 and2002.
This picture shows me with my Mum and Dad, Charlie and Kathy, at the rally in 1949. I was about a year old. The rally was held in Finsbury Park, only a few miles from the Olympic Park. There was no shortage of spectators,even then.
This picture shows a hand-propelled tricycle race at the same rally. I've no idea who the athletes are.
The Invalid Tricycle Association was founded by O. A Denly (1924-2010), who was always known as Denny. In 1945 Denny became paralysed from the waist down by Polio while serving in the Royal Navy , and was issued with a petrol powered tricycle with a maximum speed of 30mph. In June 1947 he crossed the Swiss Alps on it, and in August the same year listeners to the BBCHome Service were enthralled by a broadcast about his extraordinary expedition.
So much interest was aroused by the radio broadcast that an article appeared in Motorcycle Magazine to float the idea of an association, and in January 1948 the Invalid Tricycle Association was formed. Initially the main activities revolved around rallies and excursions. Travel always formed a large part of the ITA, but the association also focused on mutual help and support for its members.
You can read the fulltext of Denly's journey here.
Plenty of paralympians have gone on to compete in the main games. In recent years theSouth African 400 metres runner Oscar Pistorious "the Blade Runner" and his compatriot, swimmer Natalie du Toit have attracted the most publicity.
But not many people know that Ray Ewry, from Indiana USA, a polio survivor, won eight gold medals at the 1908 Olympics. Ewry contracted polio in 1881 when he was eight. In 1889, he was a high school senior still using crutches. The following year, he was an engineering student at Purdue University who was setting records in the standing high jump and long jump, events that have fallen away from the world of track and field. His best standing long jump was 11 feet, 4 7/8 inches. Nick Winkelman, director of performance education at Athletes' Performance, trains America's top collegefootball players for the NFL. He says current players don't come close to Ewry.

Through the Wormhole: The Secret State's Mad Scheme to Control the Internet
by Tom Burghardt
Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz once famously wrote that "war is the continuation of politics by other means." A century later, radical French philosopher Michel Foucault turned Clausewitz on his head and declared that "politics is the continuation of war by other means."
In our topsy-turvy world where truth and lies coexist equally and sociopathic business elites reign supreme, it would hardly be a stretch to theorize that cyber war is the continuation of parapolitical crime by other means.
In Speed and Politics, cultural theorist Paul Virilio argued that "history progresses at the speed of its weapons systems." With electronic communications now blanketing the globe, it was only a matter of time before our political masters, (temporarily) outflanked by the subversive uses to which new media lend themselves, would deploy what Virilio called the "integral accident" (9/11 being one of many examples) and gin-up entirely new categories of threats, "Cyber Pearl Harbor" comes to mind, from which of course, they would "save us."
That the revolving door connecting the military and the corporations who service war making is a highly-profitable redoubt for those involved, has been analyzed here at great length. With new moves to tighten the screws on the immediate horizon, and as "Change" reveals itself for what it always was, an Orwellian exercise in public diplomacy, hitting the "kill switch" serves as an apt descriptor for the new, repressive growth sector that links technophilic fantasies of "net-centric" warfare to the burgeoning "homeland security" market.
Back in March, Wired investigative journalist Ryan Singel wrote that the "biggest threat to the open internet" isn't "Chinese hackers" or "greedy ISPs" but corporatist warriors like former Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell.
Having retreated to his old haunt as a senior vice president with the ultra-spooky firm Booz Allen Hamilton (a post he held for a decade before joining the Bush administration), McConnell stands to make millions as Booz Allen's parent company, the secretive private equity powerhouse, The Carlyle Group, plans to take the firm public and sell some $300 million worth of shares, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.
"With its deep ties to the defense establishment" the Journal notes, "Booz Allen has become embedded in a range of military operations such as planning war games and intelligence initiatives." That Carlyle Group investors have made out like proverbial bandits during the endless "War on Terror" goes without saying. With "relatively low debt levels for a leveraged buyout," the investment "has been a successful one for Carlyle, which has benefited from the U.S. government's increasing reliance on outsourcing in defense."
And with 15,000 employees in the Washington area, most with coveted top secret and above security clearances, Booz Allen's clients include a panoply of secret state agencies such as the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, NSA and the U.S. Air Force. With tentacles enlacing virtually all facets of the secretive world of outsourced intelligence, the firm has emerged as one of the major players in the cybersecurity niche market.
While McConnell and his minions may not know much about "SQL injection hacks," Singel points out that what makes this spook's spook dangerous (after all, he was NSA Director under Clinton) "is that he knows about social engineering. ... And now he says we need to re-engineer the internet."
Accordingly, Washington Technology reported in April, that under McConnell's watchful eye, the firm landed a $14.4 million contract to build a new bunker for U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM). Chump change by Pentagon standards perhaps, but the spigot is open and salad days are surely ahead.
