I got a few calls this month which are worth spending the rest of the column on.
The second call came from the cultural outpost of El-Lay, and the caller was Rick "Skogie" Moore. For those of you who missed it, a refresher course. "Skogie" and the Flaming Pachucos -- "Skogie" -- was Moore's Minnesota ministry for a number of years, a premonition of the fringe weirdness that would sell so much better at the other end of the decade. I was a freshman in college the first time I saw Rick Moore stuff a humped animal during Elvis Presley's "Teddy Bear." Moore and company left a little later for the West Coast and the big break. A long distance interview done for The Insider Magazine in the summer of 1977 found them trying to break into the top 40 circuit in L.A. They'd decided/discovered the way to get attention, while working privately on their true ticket to fortune and fulfillment. Rick called with the good news last week and asked me to spread it to all the old faithful: it worked!!
The Kats (nee Skogie ), currently one of L.A.s tops sans the help of press and management, are more or less signed to a new CBS subsidiary, Unicorn records. (Quoting a national CBS man: "...the excitement and the newness of the Beatles in '62")! Says Rick: "Lately we've been drawing well at places like the Whiskey, the Troubadour and Madame Wong's . There were other contract offers, but we were definitely more impressed by this one. It'll practically be like having a company to ourselves." Looking to an August release date, they are going into the studio later this month (facility and producer still being chosen). So when do we get to see what time and warm temperatures have wrought? "Nothing is anywhere near definite, of course, but we might be doing a Minneapolis date this summer."
Rick (now going by Freddy) sent some press things the next day. The reviews were glowing, alright, and from the sound of product descriptions, The Kats could maybe maybe maybe be the biggest quasi-Minnesota export since Cheryl Tiegs (didn't you know??). It does your head good to see it happen to someone who has such a way with stuffed animals. "For once," as Rick said, "we were in the right place at the right time." Stay Tuned.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Explains Her Long Absence From TV
Sarah Michelle Gellar, who became a cultural icon through her lead role in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has opened up about her upcoming return to series TV in the CW's "The Ringer," and about why it took so long, Entertainment Weekly reports in its Inside TV blog.
The actress explained her long absence from TV since "Buffy" went off the air in 2003, saying it was partly about trying to come to terms with the whole "Buffy" thing–and giving respect to fans of the show.
"Sometimes … you need that time to understand that it was a cultural phenomenon, a legacy," she told the publication. "I want to honor those people who were so good for me and show them something worthy of their time and worthy of them. I think it was worth the wait."
Gellar said she was attracted to "The Ringer"–in which she plays identical twins–because it offered a type of challenge she hasn't had before.
"With 'Buffy', I got to do so much," she said. "So what do you do next? What do you do that an audience hasn't seen you do? … Bringing to life two characters and making them different, but at the same time interesting, and [showing] the similarities is definitely a challenge I've never done."

Amelia Earhart Conspiracies
Conspiracies have revolved around human existence since the beginning of mankind. It is the nature of man to wonder about the world's secrets. Sometimes, it seems as though these questions will only be answered by guesses made up by other people. One of the most well-known of conspiracies is the one surrounding the world-famous aviator, Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart was born in 1897 in Kansas. The first time she flew, was as a passenger with a veteran pilot in 1920. Soon after they took off, Earhart declared that she wished to be the one to fly ("Amelia"). Throughout her life, she set many records in aviation. For example, she was the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a solo flight ("Amelia"). Despite her flight records being the…show more content…
After surviving the plane crash into the Pacific Ocean, Earhart was taken prisoner by the Japanese. After World War II, American soldiers found her in Japan and received orders to secretly relocate her to New Jersey. Once in America, Earhart assumed the new name of Irene Bolam and started working as a banker (Heller). Books were published with these findings, and a woman who was also named Irene Bolam sued the authors for emotional distress. This lawsuit brought the topic back into light and continued to intrigue theorists. However, there was a different, and real, Irene Bolam. This woman was said to be Earhart 's friend and that is who she based her false name off of. One theorist claims that a friend of this Irene Bolam says Earhart changed her name because she wanted to live as a normal person and not a public figure, and after all she had been through, Amilia did not want to be herself anymore ("Examining"). Even after the mysterious, new Irene Bolam's death in 1982, theorists continued to suspect and analize her. An investigative newspaper was published for ten days about the topic and featured interviews and quotes about Irene's life. Records show that she regularly visited a chapel for confessions. When the priest was interviewed and asked about what the secretive woman told him, him said he could not reveal anything other than he had to keep her identity concealed and that he had never met…show more content…
Eye-witness accounts state that Amelia and Noonan were prisoners in Garapan Prison during World War II. United States marines conquered the island of Saipan in 1944, seven years after Amelia went missing. One marine, Robert Wallack, was said to have found crucial evidence to back up the eye-witness accounts. Wallack stated that he found a briefcase containing Amelia's personal documents, such as her passport and visas, in a safe that he found on a bombed-out military base. However, there is no evidence of these documents because Wallack turned over his findings to an officer and they were never seen again. Because of this, theorists will never know if there was any truth to the
Amelia Earhart: More Than A Mystery
Amelia Earhart: More Than a Mystery In March 1937 Amelia Earhart began her flight around the world. If successful she would be the first woman to complete such a feat. In a time when women weren't seen as equals, Amelia proved that women could excel in the tasks and adventures that were traditionally held by men with her courage and many accomplishments. Amelia Earhart is one of the most famous pilots of all time because of her pioneering role in what she stood for, her accomplishments, and the mystery behind her ultimate fate.
Who Is Amelia Earhart A Hero
By setting so many records and doing what only men had done, Amelia became an inspiration to many around the world. Although Amelia was a very inspiring hero to many, she lead a very normal childhood. TheAtlantic.com states, that although Amelia was a good pilot, there were pilots that were better than her that just didn't get the spotlight they deserved. Amelia was said to be a pilot who took up all of the spotlight, and was known to be a showboater. Amelia Earhart was born in Kansas on July 24, 1897.

Fames Amelia Earhart had many fames during her life of flying. She was the first female to fly to Europe from America.
Amelia Earhart Accomplishments
There are many people in the world that are very influential. These people impact the world in a positive way by inspiring people to follow their dreams, stand up for what they believe in, and overcome obstacles in their life. One individual who shows these traits would be the first woman to fly solo across the atlantic ocean, Amelia Earhart. Amelia Earhart is influential because she was the 16th woman to get her pilot 's licence, she set a speed record of 100 kilometers, and she never gave up on her speed to fly.
Roswell Conspiracy Theory
A conspiracy theory is defined as "a belief that some covert but influential organization is responsible for a circumstance or event". Roswell's conspiracy was that a UFO crashed in a ranchers sheep pasture, leaving behind lots of debris. In 1947 rancher Mac Brazel found something off in his sheep pasture, he described it as "a mess of metallic sticks held together with tape; chunks of plastic and foil reflectors; and scraps of a heavy,

Loss In Louise Erdrich's Tracks
As Louise Erdrich says in her book, Tracks, "We started dying before the snow, and like the snow, we continued to fall", I believe this quote foreshadows the sense of loss that each character feels throughout the novel (Erdrich 1). Every main character has dealt with some sort of loss, and it has changed them to be who they are and how they act within the society. Loss was such a powerful theme throughout the story that you could see it in how the characters acted and you understood why the characters acted the way that they did. I strongly believe that the actions of each character was based solely on the theme of loss.
Irena Sendler's Life During The Holocaust
Irena was arrested on October 20, 1943 as people had informed on her. She was constantly questioned and tortured so badly that her legs and feet ended up fractured, but, she never gave up. She never gave the Nazis Zegotas information. She even received a death sentence. But, she lived to be 98 as she never gave up.
Amelia Earhart's Forensics Explanatory Speech Outline
Explanatory Speech Outline Introduction Attention getter: Amelia Earhart: American hero and one of this nation's most puzzling mysteries. You all know the story of how on July 19, 1937 the iconic first female aviator disappeared into the Pacific during her flight around the globe. Well, according to an article covered by Science Daily on March 7th, professor Richard Jantz of the University of Tennessee used his forensic anthropologic expertise to match skeletal remains found in the South Pacific to Amelia Earhart. Background and audience relevance: It was all thanks to the advancements in modern forensic anthropology that he was able to digitally analyze the bones and compare them with Earhart's clothing and full body pictures of her.

Alexa's mission is complicated, and it exudes secrecy because Alexa didn't tell her mom, the mission being on a military base, and Pecas losing her baby dolphin As you know, Alexa and her friend Jose are searching for a dolphin named Pecas missing baby.
Amelia Earhart: A Major Hero In History
I too agree with you that Amelia Earhart was a major hero in history for her numerous records of flying, and her immense bravery. Amelia defies the common stereotype that men can only be expert pilots, she even changed the perspective of the lives of many young women. She was determined, and passionate about flying, which only drove her to accede the boundaries of the female pilot. I feel that the reason why Amelia pushed so hard to succeed was due to her competition with men, and wanting to prove herself to them. Amelia strived to become a successful, and hardworking women that is well known today, and the search for Amelia Earhart continues even today.

Happy 35th Birthday, my love.
Last night I sat on my couch in the dark, with only my Christmas tree for light, to listen to Dan's piece. I closed my eyes and let the music wash over me. I was entranced. Thank you for sharing something so personal.
That is beautiful music, Jo Julia, with a quite haunting title. Such a terrible loss to you, and to the world of music lovers. My deepest condolences.

Q: Xamarin.Forms WidthRequest value meaning In Xamarin.Forms, the following properties get a double: WidthRequest, HeightRequest, Padding, Spacing, etc.
What's the meaning of that number? Is it pixels, or something else?
Is the value that I put in those properties responsive to the device screen size?
How should I decide what value I should use, taking into consideration the many screen sizes available?
I also tried to print some elements' width, and got -1 as a result. Why?

A: Xamarin.Forms has a philosophy of using the conventions of the underlying platforms as much as
possible. In accordance with this philosophy, the Xamarin.Forms programmer works with sizes defined
by each particular platform. All sizes that the programmer encounters through the Xamarin.Forms API
are in these platform-specific device-independent units.(c)
In Xamarin Forms those numbers have relationships to inches and centimeters on a specific platform. See below:
These are relations in inches

*

*iOS: 160 units to the inch

*Android: 160 units to the inch

*Windows Phone: 240 units to the inch

These are relations in centimeters if you prefer metric system

*

*iOS: 64 units to the centimeter

*Android: 64 units to the centimeters

*Windows Phone: 96 units to the centimeters

For Example if you want your to display an Image with width of 1 inch and height of 2 inches you would do:
var avatar = new Image{
    WidthRequest = Device.OnPlatform(160, 160, 240),
    HeightRequest = Device.OnPlatform(320, 320, 480)
};

Same concept applies to Spacing and Padding. These Parameters also have default values. The initial settings are "mock" values of –1. The values of these properties only become valid when the layout system has positioned and sized everything on the page.
Hope this helps!
You can learn more about it from book called "Creating Mobile Apps with Xamarin Forms"

Narelle Autio's vibrant and award-winning images of Australian coastal life have won her impressive national and international acclaim.
One beauty of Autio's work is its ability to speak to so many people about their own experience of being coastal dwellers. Another is the play of colour and light in the photographs, giving them a magic and painterly quality that transcends the usual depictions of the beach. Autio's images give back to the coastline the complexity, drama and beauty that are eroded by postcards and clichés.
Narelle Autio's new work Water Hole 2012 celebrates the otherworldly beauty of the dark waters she encountered whilst travelling through parts of Queensland, Northern Territory and Western Australia.
For her 2009 series, The Summer of Us, Autio looked to the ocean, but this time to the shore, to the natural and man-made remnants of long summer days; a lone pink thong, the skeletons of sun hats and sand-crusted fish.
Exploring the human figure in relation to water, The place in between (2007) demonstrates a strong visual language, by isolating single subjects captured at the instant they plunge into the abyss.
In 2006 her New Colour Works pushed the expressive capabilities of photography. The figures in her underwater tableaux seem almost posed for dramatic effect, despite a complete absence of intervention on the artist's behalf.
During 2006 Autio was featured in numerous group exhibitions including Light Sensitive: Contemporary Australian Photography, National Gallery of Victoria and the nationally touring Fifth Leica/CCP Documentary A ward.
Autio's series Watercolours continues to be one of the artist's highly celebrated bodies of work. Resulting from a two-year journey across Australia the images elegantly capture the complexity, beauty and drama of Australians' relationship with the water.
In 2002, Autio won the international Leica Oskar Barnack Award for her series Coastal Dwellers. This accolade contributed to an already impressive list of achievements including two World Press Awards, an American Picture of the Year Award and two Walkley Awards. Coastal Dwellers proceeded to be showcased in festivals and exhibitions including the Noorderlicht Fotofestival 2002, The Netherlands, Summer Life, Alice Austin House Museum, New York 2003, and FotoFreo, WA 2004.
In 2001 Autio was one of three photographers selected in the Australian Art Collectors Magazine's "50 most collectable Australian artists". She earned the same distinction again in 2005.
For her new body of work, The Summer of Us, Autio has returned to the ocean, but this time to the shore, to the natural and man-made remnants of the long summer days; to a lone pink thong, the skeletons of a hat and a sand-crusted fish. Using large format films, Autio documents her finds, treating each one with the same attention to details.
I love to photograph in the sea, it is my second home but I have always feared the ocean as well, or rather, what lies beneath. Underwater I wait for the jumpers to disturb the stillness. I watch the shimmery figures above me balancing on the rails and I know what they feel. I love the moment that the sea has hold of me, cocooned in bubbles, suffocated by water and sound and cold and darkness. There is that moment of suspension, of complete isolation. Between worlds, seperated only by a breath of air.
Not of this Earth by Narelle Autio features photographs looking directly down onto the parklands below Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge. Autio's images of people lying, lunching and playing on the grass form an elegant tableau vivant of humanity. These spontaneous moments seem incredibly still but also full of life. Contemporary urban life seems viewed from afar - not of this earth.
During the Photo de mer Festival, the city of Vannes shows The Seventh Wave, photographs by Narelle Autio and Trent Parke. The work of these talented and award winning photographers has the air of both document and dream. They began working on The Seventh Wave in the summer of 1999 as a response to one of Australia\'s worst ever summers for drownings. Their black and white photos capture the energy and power of the ocean which can be dark and menacing at one moment but tranquil and luminous the next.
Narelle Autio's exhibition « The summer of us » will be part of the festival Photo de mer's 7th edition, organized by the city of Vannes, and which will take place from April 8 till May 8 2011.\r\rA dozen of free and new exhibitions will enable you to discover hundreds of images taken by passionate photgraphers.\r\rIn the gardens and buildings emblematic of the patrimony of the city, inside as well as in the open, Vannes will share with you, during a month, the richness and emotion of the sea photography.
The Australian photographer Narelle Autio describes in her work, "Watercolors" and "New Color Works" the intense and complex relationship of the Australian population to the sea. The emotional attachment to aquatic environment is characteristic of the continent. The artistic motivation of Narelle Autio is to translate these emotions into images. Narelle Autio lives and works in Sydney. She is a founding member of the photography agency "Oculi". In Europe, she is represented by the "Agence VU" in Paris.

Ethanol industry steamrollers opponents (story audio)
Nearly all the pumps in Minnesota offer various grades of gasoline and all contain at least 2.7 percent ethanol, because state law requires it.
Ethanol plants reach settlement with EPA
Gopher State Ethanol woes trigger national crackdown
Ethanol industry steamrollers opponents
by Mary Losure, Minnesota Public Radio

When the new Congress returns to Washington in January, members are expected to resume work on energy legislation that would be a giant boost for the corn-based fuel, ethanol. The energy bill would more than double the nation's use of ethanol over the next 10 years. Ethanol supporters, such the nation's corn farmers, say it's a way to reduce this country's dependence on foreign oil and benefit the environment at the same time. Ethanol opponents doubt those arguments, but they're fighting a losing battle.
St. Paul, Minn. — Minnesota is in the heart of ethanol country. Nearly all the pumps in Minnesota offer various grades of gasoline and all contain at least 2.7 percent ethanol, because state law requires it. The Minnesota Legislature has approved millions of dollars in subsidies for ethanol producers and farm state politicians are virtually unanimous in their unqualified support of increased use of ethanol.
Ken Pentel, who ran unsuccessfully for governor on the Green Party ticket, swam against the stream when he expressed some reservations. Pentel said that expanding the ethanol program as it's structured now will encourage more factory-scale corn-farming; growing vast fields of corn under conditions that promote soil erosion and require large doses of chemicals and fertilizer.
But Pentel admitted nobody's paying much attention to concerns like these.
"I see too much control by corn-growing interests rather than a more thoughtful discussion of what is the best interest of the general good," Pentel said.
Corn farmers are pushing ethanol because it increases the demand for corn and raises corn prices. They argue that ethanol benefits the public too, because it's an environmentally friendly fuel. But not all environmentalists buy that.
Dan Becker, who directs the Sierra Club's energy program in Washington, D.C., says ethanol is a mixed bag from an environmental and an energy perspective.
"First of all, it increases smog because it makes the mixture of gasoline and ethanol evaporate more readily. But it decreases carbon monoxide, which is another air pollutant," Becker said. "From an energy perspective, it's very energy-intensive to create ethanol. A lot of diesel fuel is used to cultivate the corn; a lot of mostly coal and other fossil fuels are used to distill it into ethanol."
Dueling studies have given conflicting answers on whether it takes more energy to create a gallon of ethanol than you get back when you burn one.
Becker says if the ethanol program really did produce renewable fuel, the Sierra Club would be the first to champion it. He says ethanol can be made from alternative crops like switch grass, which require much less energy to grow. But he says that kind of ethanol is not what's on the table in Washington.
"In this bill, the net effect of all of the ethanol provisions and all the other provisions is bad for the environment. This is an energy bill that should die," Becker said. "You could make ethanol in a way that was more responsible. And unfortunately this bill won't require that."
Environmental concerns aren't the only ones that have failed to make headway. For years, the free-market think tank, Cato Institute has railed against the multibillion-dollar subsidies enjoyed by the ethanol industry. The Institute has called the nation's largest ethanol producer, Archer Daniels Midland, "a poster child for corporate welfare" and blasted ADM's huge political contributions. But the ethanol industry's momentum has been unstoppable.
The Cato Institute's Jerry Taylor says that's because the nation's farm lobby is pushing hard for ethanol and farm interests hold some politically strategic territory.
"Even if Archer Daniels Midland didn't exist, even if we banned them from lobbying, and they couldn't give a dime, it wouldn't matter. We'd still have an ethanol program, it would be just as big," Taylor said. "The main reason is if you want to be president of the United States, you have to go to through the Iowa caucuses, which means if you don't bow down and worship ethanol, you're a dead man politically."
Taylor points out even that such free market, shrink-the-government stalwarts as former Republican Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich have quailed before the ethanol lobby.
"In 1995 there was a serious fear at the time that Republican congressmen looking to cut budgets and cut regulations and increase the scope of free markets would deep-six the ethanol program. At the last minute it was Ginginch of the house Republican leadership who intervened," Taylor said. "And the reason why was there were a lot of Republican congressmen who were elected in that landslide of 1994 who came from farm districts who argued that if Republicans kill the ethanol program, they're dead."
Observers say these days nobody's even trying to stop this latest ethanol legislation. Instead, ethanol's traditional opponents are scrambling to cut the best deal they can. Earlier this year the petroleum industry agreed to support the ethanol mandate in return for more flexibility in the methods the industry uses to meet clean air standards.
Long-time Washington lobbyist Bill Fay says he thinks the petroleum industry signed on with ethanol because, "they were jumping on the train as it was speeding through town." Fay is president of the American Highway Users Alliance, another traditional opponent of the ethanol program. He says the fuel tax breaks Congress has already given the ethanol industry are causing the loss of nearly $2 billion each year that would otherwise go to highways and bridges, losses that could triple if the ethanol mandate goes through.
But Fay is not confronting the bill. He's simply trying to get it altered so ethanol subsidies will be paid for in a way that won't hurt the highway fund.
"My goal here is not to beat up on ethanol, I don't want to get into agricultural or energy policy. Ethanol to the extent that it costs highway investments that can save lives, that's when I get really concerned," Fay said. But Fay and other opponents say they fully expect some form of the ethanol mandate will pass.
John Doggett of the National Corn Growers Association does too. He says the momentum comes not only from political strength, but from public policy considerations.
"I think the fact that we are looking at a possible war with Iraq, from where we import an awful lot of oil, that has certainly driven this debate, and driven it in our favor. I think the alarming statistics that continue to escalate showing our dependency on foreign oil has been the kind of thing that has pushed this in our favor as well," Doggett said.
Ethanol now provides one percent of the nation's fuel supply. The corn growers hope to triple that over the next 10 years.

Read the Original in Portuguese!
I remember it clearly: first I heard the clicking of spurs, then came the imposing figure―skin tanned by the Brazilian northern sun, gray eyes, a leather hat and a prophet's long beard. He walked into my grandfather's barbershop without saying a word, inspiring fear and imposing silence upon us all. In walked the most wanted man in the country; his head was worth land and cattle. Fearsome to police and outlaws alike, in came Severino Correia de Assis, better known as Rattlesnake Severino: impervious to all harm, baptized by Father Cícero, a descendant of Lampião, vigilante of the caatinga.
Back then, my job was to hold a small mirror in front of the customer's face while my grandfather shaved them.
But before we go on, let me tell you about my grandfather. He was long on the tooth, but still vigorous and strong. When younger, he had been known for his misdeeds. He'd been in a lot of fights; he even killed people and almost died one day. He stole and resold horses with his gang and they terrorized the city. One day, he was caught in an ambush, and the only reason he didn't die was because a pai-de-santo had blessed him. But from that day on, he could never do evil again, or tragedy would strike. So he settled down, opened a barbershop and lived a simple life. But I knew that inside him, the spirit of trouble still lived. I knew he was buried in debt and also, that he thirsted for notoriety and acclaim.
This is why a cold sweat ran through me when I looked into his eyes and saw his shaking hands and blade at the ready as he shaved Rattlesnake Severino, a man with a prize on his head worth a gold mine, whose neck was now naked and unprotected. I knew what my grandfather was thinking. I knew there was more than one rattlesnake in that room. And I knew that all it took to kill Severino was a flick of his wrist.
But Severino was a shrewd man. He'd never make such a flagrant mistake. He respected my grandfather's old age, but he'd seen many barbaric grizzled men. So, without a word, he sat on the chair my grandfather indicated, took out his rifle and pointed it at me, who was standing right there holding the mirror to his face. If my grandfather tried anything, I was the one who was going to get it.
And so it was that, as my grandfather's shaking hand put the blade to Severino's face, Severino pointed a Winchester at my chest. It was the fastest gun against the fastest blade in the Northeast.
Then, the moment came to shave Severino's neck. My grandfather pressed the blade against his throat and looked at me, as if waiting for a sign. I glanced at Severino's rifle, and noticed he had his finger on the trigger. I knew I could flash a light on his eyes with the mirror and briefly blind him. I also knew that eyesight wasn't his only guide: he'd still have his keen senses of smell, hearing and his instincts. But all it'd take was a sign from me.
But I faltered. I shook my head, embarrassed at my lack of guts. Severino took his finger off the trigger, my grandfather shaved him as usual and the afternoon came upon us.
Freshly shaved, Rattlesnake Severino paid my grandfather a good amount of stolen money and called me. I timidly approached him and he handed me his rifle, the very same one that had recently threatened me. The heavy Winchester was in my hands.
Here we have it: the most unexpected attack was yet to come.
As Rattlesnake Severino turned his back to me, on his way to the door, I pointed and cocked the rifle at his back. Severino stopped on his heels when he heard the click. My grandfather, stunned, just stood there, breathing raggedly.
My heart beat fast, wild and uncontrollable. None of those rattlesnakes had thought to worry about an innocent boy. I closed my eyes and impulsively pressed the trigger.

Q: assert() with message I saw somewhere assert used with a message in the following way:
assert(("message", condition));

This seems to work great, except that gcc throws the following warning:
warning: left-hand operand of comma expression has no effect

How can I stop the warning?

A: Use -Wno-unused-value to stop the warning; (the option -Wall includes -Wunused-value).
I think even better is to use another method, like
assert(condition && "message");

A: Try:
#define assert__(x) for ( ; !(x) ; assert(x) )

use as such:
assert__(x) {
    printf("assertion will fail\n");
}

Will execute the block only when assert fails.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This method will evaluate expression x twice, in case x evaluates to false! (First time, when the for loop is checking its condition; second time, when the assert is evaluating the passed expression!)

A: By tradition, (void) communicates to the compiler that you are knowingly ignoring an expression:
/* picard.c, TNG S6E11. */
#define assertmsg(x, msg) assert(((void) msg, x))
assertmsg(2+2==5, "There! are! four! lights!");

A: For unexpected default case of a switch, an options is
assert(!"message");

A: If you want to pass a formatted message, you could use the following macros:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <assert.h>

#define clean_errno() (errno == 0 ? "None" : strerror(errno))
#define log_error(M, ...) fprintf(stderr, "[ERROR] (%s:%d: errno: %s) " M "\n", __FILE__, __LINE__, clean_errno(), ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define assertf(A, M, ...) if(!(A)) {log_error(M, ##__VA_ARGS__); assert(A); }

Then use it like printf:
// With no args
assertf(self != NULL,"[Server] Failed to create server.");

// With formatting args
assertf((self->socket = u_open(self->port)) != -1,"[Server] Failed to bind to port %i:",self->port);
// etc...

Output:

[ERROR] (../src/webserver.c:180: errno: Address already in use)
  [Server] Failed to bind to port 8080: webserver:
  ../src/webserver.c:180: server_run: Assertion `(self->socket =
  u_open(self->port)) != -1' failed.

Based on http://c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex20.html

A: A function that takes const char* and returns true would probably save you from all sorts of warnings:
#include <assert.h>

int always_true(const char *msg) {
    return 1;
}

#define assert_msg(expr, msg) assert((expr) && always_true(msg))

A: In my case, I changed @pmg's answer to be able to control the output. The (... && "message") didn't work for me.
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define __DEBUG__ 1

assert ((1 == 1) &&
       (__DEBUG__ && printf("  - debug: check, ok.\n")) || !__DEBUG__);

A: According to following link
http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cassert/assert/
assert is expecting only expression. May be you are using some overloaded function.
According to this, only expression is allowed and thus you are getting this warning.

A: You could write your own macro that provides the same usage of _Static_assert(expr, msg):
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>

/*
 * void assert_msg(bool expr, const char *msg);
 */
#if !defined(NDEBUG)
#define assert_msg(expr, msg)   do                  \
{                                                   \
        const bool  e_ = expr;                      \
                                                    \
        if (!e_) {                                  \
                fputs(msg, stderr);                 \
                fputc('\n', stderr);                \
                assert(e_);                         \
        }                                           \
} while (0)
#else
#define assert_msg(expr, msg)   do                  \
{                                                   \
                                                    \
        if (!(expr))                                \
                warn_bug(msg);                      \
} while (0)
#endif

I also have a macro warn_bug() that prints the name of the program, the file, the line, the function, the errno value and string, and a user message, even if asserts are disabled.  The reason behind it is that it won't break the program, but it will warn that a bug will probably be present.  You could just define assert_msg to be empty if defined(NDEBUG), though.

As the fleece is double bonded it is less likely to stretch over time and pull on your horses shoulders. This rug is great for traveling, use in the stable or as a mid-layer.


What is a Blessing Box?
A "Blessing Box" is filled with food and other small items available to any and all who are in need. The concept is simple. The box is a miniature food pantry. You can take items from the box if you are in need, or you can make a donation of food or small personal items.
Often traditional food pantries do a good job, but require people to have referrals from social service agencies or church organizations. People in need often must prove eligibility such as providing proof of residency, or if they have children and how many.
Our Blessing boxes require no paperwork; there's not a lock on our box, it's open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Sometimes, people need food and/or personal items right away and just can't wait to travel to local food pantries. The ladies of Oasis will maintain the box at first and replace food and personal items. Prayerfully our community and neighborhood will become really supportive and add items to our Blessing Box.
The Women of Oasis will never know how many people our blessing box will help. We are simply trusting that God will send people who are truly in need.
The Bible says in Matthew 25:35 - "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me."
It is our prayer that they will take what they need and leave what they can, and above all that they will be Blessed!
Remember individual packaged items please.
1.Toiletries – soap, tooth paste tooth brushes, deodorant, lotion, hair brushes, toilet paper, paper towels, tissue, band aids, etc.
2.Non-Perishable Foods –canned, bagged or boxed (meat - NO pork please) vegetable, fruit, soup, cereal, etc.
4.Individual Packaged Food Items – applesauce, fruit snacks, chips, pretzels, crackers, etc.
5.Baby Supplies – food diapers, wipes, formula, etc.
6. Small Clothing Items – hats, socks, etc.
7. Cleaning Supplies – dishwashing liquid, hand soap, hand sanitizer, detergent, trash bags, etc.


In a statement released this morning by Cambridgeshire Constabulary, police announced that the briefcase abandoned at Great St Mary's yesterday contained books.
Police cordoned off a large area around King's Parade and evacuated nearby buildings in response to the briefcase, which was taken to be suspicious.
A bomb disposal unit was also called to the scene, and two small explosions were heard at approximately 9.45pm and 9.50pm. The police confirmed this morning that the case was destroyed in the controlled explosions.
Diners at the Cambridge Chop House were also evacuated to a safe distance. One customer told Varsity that "a police man came down and demanded that everybody got out the restaurant, so I grabbed my crème brûlée and ran".
Following the arrival of the bomb disposal unit, "onlookers were ushered back, and told to huddle in the alleyway between St Catharine's and King's. Students were told to back away from their windows. The van doors shortly opened, and a bomb disposal robot was deployed, moving to a location out of sight near Great St Mary's.
The student telephoned the police after noticing the briefcase was "a bit weird because nobody seemed to be with it".
The University took to Twitter to thank the police for their response to the incident, and also thanked "students and staff who showed such calm and patience".
Gonville & Caius College, who were active on Twitter throughout the incident, also tweeted to congratulate their "students, staff, and Fellows" for their "calm and good humour throughout".
The College was also eager to reassure its followers that "we remained calm during lockdown and did not break into the wine cellar".
The full statement from Cambridgeshire police read: "Police were called at just before 7.15pm yesterday with a report of an abandoned briefcase outside the church in Kings Parade, Cambridge.

Yelp Adds COVID-19 Safety Protocols to Business Pages
Yelp has joined the fight against the spread of Coronavirus!
The business review company has added a COVID-19 section to business pages, allowing them to inform customers which services are available and what safety protocols are in effect.
According to Yelp's website, this new Coronavirus section in the crowd-sourcing app aims to help business owners share details on any operational changes that have been implemented to stem the spread of the virus. So what does this include? Companies and businesses can add whether they offer dine-in service, outdoor seating, curbside pickup, delivery and in-person visits, as well as virtual services, the company announced Tuesday.
Yelp's Coronavirus section comes after local governments across the country continue to loosen their coronavirus restrictions, allowing businesses to partially reopen their doors.
Yelp's website adds that consumers will also be able to check guidelines on payment methods as well as how many people are allowed inside a business at a time.
Additionally, Yelp first introduced COVID-19 initiatives in late March, allowing businesses to create a free customizable banner for consumers that is displayed at the top of all Yelp business pages. Yelp says over 380,000 businesses have already activated the free banner!
In an effort to do so, the company's new section will include a timestamp indicating when the business' hours of operation or personalized message was last updated. The COVID-19 section on Yelp business pages can be found online or the company's mobile app, available to both iOS and Android devices.

Afghanistan: ISIS-K claims responsibility for twin blasts at Kabul airport
On Friday the Afghanis encountered a bomb attack after an Islamic state suicide ended up killing around 85 people alongside 13 US soldiers at the gates of the Kabul Airport.

US military to help out the Afghani residents to escape from the terrors of the Taliban rule. On Friday the Afghanis encountered a bomb attack after an Islamic state suicide ended up killing around 85 people alongside 13 US soldiers at the gates of the Kabul Airport. As per the reports, two blasts and gunfire was experienced on Thursday evening outside the airport. According to journalist videos dozen of dead bodies laid on the road. The estimates reports state that 72 Afghan citizens, 28 Taliban and 13 US officials were killed.
Islamic State (ISIS), an enemy of the Taliban as well as the West, said one of its suicide bombers targeted "translators and collaborators with the American army". U.S. officials also blamed the group and vowed retribution.
General Frank McKenzie, head of U.S. Central Command, said U.S. commanders were on alert for more attacks by Islamic State, including possible rockets or vehicle-borne bombs targeting the airport.
"We're doing everything we can to be prepared," he said, adding that some intelligence was being shared with the Taliban and that he believed "some attacks have been thwarted by them."
The US forces to evacuate the state by August 31 as a date given by President Joe Biden. Who claims that Biden has achieved its original goal by entering the country in 2001 and disclosed Qaeda militants and prevent the reoccurrence of September 11 attacks on the United States
"We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay," Biden said during televised comments from the White House.
A U.S. Central Command spokesperson said 18 soldiers wounded in the attack were "in the process of being aeromedical evacuated from Afghanistan on specially equipped C-17s with embarked surgical units".
"We have lost more people than the Americans in the airport blast," a Taliban official said, adding that the Taliban was "not responsible for the chaotic evacuation plan prepared by foreign nations".
The United States would go ahead with departures regardless of the danger of additional assaults, McKenzie said, noticing that there were as yet about cycle 1,000 U.S. residents in Afghanistan.
The speed of departure flights had sped up on Friday and American visa holders had been permitted to enter the air terminal compound, said a Western security official positioned inside the air terminal.
In the previous 12 days, Western nations have cleared almost 100,000 individuals. In any case, they recognize that thousands will be left behind when the last U.S. troops leave toward the month's end.
A few Western nations said the mass transport of regular folks was reaching a conclusion and declared their final soldiers had left the country.

The wellbeing and safety of the children remains at the heart of what we do and this means that we are vigilant of the things we see and hear from children that might indicate they or others are at a risk of significant harm or have been exposed to long term harm.
Safer Recruitment Practices and Procedures
At James Elliman we are committed to the safer recruitment practice and procedure. Safer recruitment is a set of practices to help make sure staff and volunteers are suitable to work with children and young people. It's a vital part of creating a safe and positive environment, and making a commitment to keep children safe from harm. The DSL, DDSLs and Governor for Safeguarding are all fully trained in Safer Recruitment Practices At James Elliman Academy.
For further information of our safer recruitment practices please see our Child Protections Policy and Procedures
Safeguarding means:
protecting children from maltreatment
preventing the impairment of children's mental and physical health or development
ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care
taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes.
In most instances any concern that has been ascertained will be discussed with you as the parent/carer. We understand that these can at times be difficult conversations however, we will raise matters with you to ensure that your child's wellbeing and safety remains at the forefront. It is important to us at James Elliman Academy, that we are able to have open and honest conversations and work together to support your child.
In certain circumstances following discussions within the Designated Safeguarding Team, we will share the proposed concerns in accordance with the Local Safeguarding Children's Board Procedures. This means that we will communicate with the Multi-agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) at Slough Children First. The MASH team supports schools by reviewing information shared and deciding on the best course of action to safeguard a child. In some instances, where children are seen to be in immediate risk or have been exposed to significant harm, we may have to contact MASH without having spoken to you first and gained your agreement.
Under Section 3 (5) of the Children Act 1989, any person who has care of a child "may….do what is reasonable in all the circumstances of the case for the purpose of safeguarding or promoting the child's welfare". This means that on rare occasions, a school may need to "hold" a child in school whilst Social Care and the Police investigate any concerns further.
On very rare occasions Social Care, whilst undertaking an investigation under s47 of the Children Act 1989, may want to speak to a child without parents' knowledge. This would be a decision made in collaboration with partner agencies and would only be done in situations where a child might be at immediate risk of harm. To gain consent at this point may increase the level of risk to the child or cause evidence of a crime to be lost.
Our Safeguarding Team
While safeguarding is everyone's responsibility, James Elliman Academy has five dedicated members of The Safeguarding Team who are trained to an advanced level in child protection and safeguarding.
Mrs Rebecca Pinkney - Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL)
Mrs Jasvir Chander – Deputy DSL
Mrs Kelly Wright – Deputy DSL and Deputy Principal
Miss Vanda Devshi - Deputy DSL
Mrs Tajinder Johal – Deputy DSL and Principal
At James Elliman, our Governor for Safeguarding is Mrs Sandra Hopkinson.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding a child please contact one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads, alternatively please share your concerns through your child's class teacher who will liaise with the appropriate staff members.
Wider Safeguarding Support
National Online Safety
At James Elliman Academy, staff, children, parents and carers have access to National Online Safety. This platform provides us with training and resources to help educate children, and their families, on how to keep safe online.

Alternatively, search for 'National Online Safety' in the App Store/Google Play Store.
Follow the #WakeUpWednesday campaign for weekly guides that increase your knowledge and understanding of the wide range of platforms available online.
Safeguarding in the curriculum
Safeguarding in planning
Our year teams build links to safeguarding into the curriculum through their unit overviews. This allows for safeguarding to be woven into the children's learning to help them increase their own awareness on how to keep safe.
Safeguarding in assembly
Our weekly assemblies deliver a 'Safety First' message to the children to help develop their understanding of how to keep safe at home, in school and in the wider community.
Our Relationship, Health and Education lessons are taught through the scheme called Jigsaw. Jigsaw provides many links to safeguarding throughout its scheme and supports children in how to keep safe in their everyday lives. Click here to see the document that shows how our Jigsaw curriculum links to safeguarding.
CPOMs
Information related to safeguarding is recorded using CPOMs (Child Protection Online Management System). We use CPOMs along side our other safeguarding practices and procedures. We can easily and securely share information with other schools who also have CPOMs. If you are a school who does not have CPOMs, please contact us so we can securely transfer information by alternative means.
TEAM TEACH Training
At James Elliman we ensure that children have high quality support if they are in crisis, and when the usual support strategies are not effective. We have a team of specially trained staff who can support any child in crisis through positive handling strategies. Please see the Positive Handling Policy for more information.

Young children should begin to learn about the concept of value and why some items are considered more valuable than others are. These concepts relate to a geographical understanding of natural resources and the reasons why people work very hard to extract resources, such as during the California gold rush. This lesson has students go through a simulation to learn about value, abundance, and scarcity and asks them to consider the things that they would be willing to work very hard for.

Q: Let $u(x)$ be harmonic for $x \in \Bbb R^3$. Suppose that $\nabla u \in L^2 (\Bbb R^3)$. Prove that $u$ is a constant. Let $u(x)$ be harmonic for $x \in \Bbb R^3$. Suppose that $\nabla u \in L^2 (\Bbb R^3)$. Prove that $u$ is a constant.
I tried with Green's equation but it didn't work. Could anyone tell me which method I should use?

A: Note that $\int_{\mathbb{R}} |\nabla u(x)|^2 dx=-\int_{\mathbb{R}}u(x)\Delta u(x)dx=0$. So $\nabla u(x)=0$ and $u$ is identically a constant.

As we have previously reported, the Affordable Care Act (the "Act") included additional requirements for tax-exempt hospitals to maintain their tax-exempt status; these changes are effective for tax years starting after March 23, 2010, the enactment date of the Act.
These additional requirements included Form 990 reporting obligations for hospitals, which required some adjustments to Form 990 and the corresponding instructions. Late yesterday, the IRS released the 2010 Schedule H and instructions. The IRS also announced that hospitals should not file 2010 Forms 990 requiring Schedule H before July 1, 2011 and granted an automatic three-month extension to all such organizations whose Forms 990 would otherwise be due on or before August 15, 2011.
This announcement does not affect the ultimate due date for such returns, but simply means that the three-month automatic extension will be granted without filing a request. Although the IRS has not yet issued guidance on the new hospital requirements, the new Schedule H and instructions will shed some light on their interpretations.


The comprehensive hardscape project at Lora Batchelor Middle School for the Monroe County Community School Corporation replaced asphalt and concrete pavements, including the reconfiguration of vehicle (automobile and bus) and pedestrian traffic routes.
The project design involved the undercutting and rebuilding of select areas of deteriorated pavements; milling and reconstruction of asphalt paving based on traffic and drainage requirements; installation of curbing to control storm water runoff; removal and replacement of deteriorated concrete pedestrian pavements and stairs. A thorough pre-design survey process identified a mix of reconstruction items that maximized the impact of a limited budget. Challenges included working with the local municipality to rework driveway drainage that extended into the adjacent roadway.

PHR Condemns Excessive and Lethal Force Against Protestors in Iraq
November 1, 2019 Weapons, Iraq
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is gravely concerned by the use of excessive, unlawful, and lethal force by Iraqi security forces against protestors across the country, which has reportedly resulted in at least 250 deaths and thousands of injuries.
PHR has received reports from organizations in Iraq, including the Iraqi High Commission for Human Rights, that have documented security forces' reckless use of live ammunition, tear gas, hot water, sound bombs, rubber bullets, and batons against demonstrators during the past month of mass demonstrations.
The following statement is attributed to Susannah Sirkin, director of policy at PHR:
"PHR calls for an immediate, independent, and thorough investigation into the widespread killings and human rights abuses taking place in cities across Iraq.
"We condemn the use of excessive and lethal force by Iraqi security forces and anti-riot police, as well as violence by any party.
"Reports of indiscriminate use of tear gas are particularly concerning, as these so-called 'non-lethal weapons' can have deadly consequences and prolonged health impacts, as PHR has documented around the world.
"PHR urges the Iraqi government to de-escalate the situation, cease the reckless use of tear gas and other crowd-control weapons, protect civilians against violence by state- and non-state actors, and support independent investigations into these abuses."
Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) is a New York-based advocacy organization that uses science and medicine to prevent mass atrocities and severe human rights violations. Learn more here.

The cambium present in the vascular bundle is known as the fascicular cambium. The fascicular cambium within each vascular bundles is interconnected by a cambial tissue known as the inter fascicular cambium. This fascicular and inter fascicular cambium together forms a ring of cambium. The ring of cambium later matures to form the vascular cambium. Vascular cambium is a bifacial cambium due to its activity. I.e. this cambium can produces the secondary xylem internally and the secondary phloem externally.

Come Together: Abbey Road in Liverpool
In 2019, the world celebrates 50 years of yet another iconic Beatles album, and to mark the occasion the award-winning Royal Albert Dock based 'The Beatles Story' has teamed up with Liverpool's top street artist to create a very special mural for the public to enjoy.
The Abbey Road album, which was released on 26 September 1969, was the band's last to be recorded and features hit songs such as 'Come Together', 'Something' and 'Here Comes The Sun'. Perhaps what is most significant about the album is its cover artwork, depicting the four Beatles crossing Abbey Road outside of the London-based EMI studios where they recorded most of their songs.
The album cover is recognised all around the world as one of music's best-ever, and now people can 'Come Together' and become part of it, not in London, but on the streets of the band's hometown in Liverpool. The new artwork can be found on Grafton Street, on the outside wall to the increasingly popular Cain's Brewery Village.
The interactive artwork is inspired by the album's cover and depicts the scene of the famous London-based zebra crossing used by the band. Members of the public are encouraged to stand in front of the mural to recreate the famous crossing scene and to share their photographs online via social media.
Memorabilia Day 2019: items valued by the experts
The cast of Let It Be: A Celebration Of The Music Of The Beatles posed for photographs in front of the new mural, in their full Abbey Road costumes. The acclaimed theatre show returns to the UK on 23rd April and has been updated to feature an all-new 'Let It Be Part II' reunion concert, giving fans a rare glimpse of how the Fab Four could have 'Come Together' once again to perform – and is not to be missed.
Paul Curtis is perhaps best known for his 'For All Liverpool's Liver Birds' street art unveiled in late 2017. His representation of the Liverbird wings has been enthusiastically received by locals and visitors to the city alike, including recently Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
Abbey Road: The Studios That Became A Legend
He said about the project: "I have been a fan of the Beatles ever since I made a tape of my Dad's White album when I was 14. It made a massive impression – I went out and bought a guitar and joined a band soon after. The Beatles have been important to me ever since. So, when The Beatles Story called me and tabled the idea for this mural, I was fully on board! In some ways it is unusual in that without the Beatles, it is simply a suburban street scene, but it is so iconic that people recognise it from just some tarmac, trees and a couple of cars.
"I enjoyed painting this – it was a real lesson in single vanishing point perspective! Another thing that is unusual is that the picture is taken under the midday sun, this means there is no shadow direction, but I tried to capture the vertical shadows of the trees and the dark shaded areas below them. I had to be bold with the black paint, but I hope it has turned out well.
"I hope that people enjoy the new work and becoming The Beatles themselves. I look forward to seeing all the photos of people just having fun with the backdrop. In that sense, it is similar to 'For all Liverpool's Liverbirds', the main point is that people enjoy it and that it brightens their day!"

I have started to workout at the gym and have been walking for 30 minutes at a reasonable pace, but I keep getting pain down both my shins. What do you think it might be?
The problem you are describing is called shin splints and you might like to read a detailed description of this condition in our special feature, which can be accessed through the following link: http://www.irishhealth.com/index.html?level=4&id=2214. Now that we are shaking off the effects of winter hibernation I expect that more people will be getting out for regular walks and many people are likely to be stopped abruptly in their tracks by this painful condition. You might also like to ask one of the instructors at your gym if you are using the right shoes for working out. Inappropriate footwear can give rise to various exercise related injuries so it is worth checking out if you are wearing the right type of shoes.
