Major Crimes Cancellation: TNT Series Creator & Star React
by Cindy McLennan, October 4, 2017
(Eddy Chen)
Yesterday, TNT announced its Major Crimes TV show would end with the upcoming sixth season. Now, creator James Duff, and star Mary McDonnell are reacting to the news that Major Crimes is ending, and it sounds like a cancellation to us. Check out their reactions, below, and let us know what you think.
A sequel to the Kyra Sedgwick crime drama, The Closer, Major Crimes made its TNT debut back in August of 2012. The police procedural series also stars G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul Chan, Raymond Cruz, Phillip P. Keene, Graham Patrick Martin, Kearran Giovanni, Jonathan Del Arco, Leonard Roberts, Jessica Meraz and Daniel di Tomasso. Jon Tenney, Ransford Doherty, Kathe Mazur, Rene Rosado, Dawnn Lewis, and Bill Brochtrup recur. The sixth and final season premieres on Halloween, October 31st, at 9:00pm (ET/PT). TNT says two-episode series finale will air on Tuesday, January 16, 2018.
Creator James Duff Responds to the Major Crimes TV Series Cancellation
On Facebook, Duff makes it clear that the decision to end Major Crimes was not his idea and was not a creative one. In addition to saying he does not want to leave the drama series, Duff says, "The actors, the writers, the producers and our talented crew would have held on as long as we were relevant." He also goes on to thank the viewers for following Major Crimes even as it was bounced from timeslot to timeslot. Check it out.
Major Crimes Star Mary McDonnell Addresses Series Cancellation
McDonnell, who has starred as Commander Sharon Raydor since the TV show premiere, says she is not surprised that TNT cancelled Major Crimes, saying, "The writing was clearly on the wall." As you can see in her Instagram post, below, while she is proud of what they've accomplished, she is still trying to make sense of the cable network's choices.
Dear #GREATESTFANSEVER Firstly, we all move on to the next TOGETHER. Secondly, as many of you have stated, this was not a surprise. The writing was clearly on the wall. Trying to make sense of TNT's choices is an activity that James Duff and Mike Robin and all of us have been engaged in for a long time. We tried as best we could, believe me. And we are extremely proud of the work and particularly proud of Season Six. You deserved a season with great depth and that is what you will be given. We will go thru it with you. I'll talk more, if I may, tomorrow on #WWSRD but for now know that you are cherished always and all of us will continue to hold you dear as fans. Mary❤

Major Crimes: A Look at the Ratings
Although the sixth and final season of Major Crimes does not premiere until the end of October, and the show's Nielsen ratings did drop off last year, it remains one of TNT's strongest TV shows.
The fifth season of Major Crimes averaged a 0.38 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.19 million viewers. While that is down by 26% and 11% (respectively) over season four, it still beats out most of TNT's original, scripted TV shows.
In season five, it drew a larger total viewership than any other original series on the cable network. In fact, Major Crimes' average total audience surprassed the third season of The Librarians, by more than a million viewers and the fourth season of The Last Ship, by about 1.5 million.
In terms of its demo ratings, Major Crimes' ranks third out of TNT TV series. It comes in right after The Librarians and the new crime dramedy, Claws.
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Major Crimes TV show? Is it ending at the right time? Should TNT have cancelled or renewed this TV series for a seventh season?

Major Crime a TNT top rated show. Why on earth have they cancelled it. Who ever is in charge has no business sence. You give your customers what they want or they don't come back. Ratings = Revenue. No Revenue = No TNT. You should keep your top rated shows as the new ones may not bring in the ratings or revenue. TNT stop cancelling your best shows because very soon it could be you that gets cancelled. #savemajorcrimes
Best show ever!!! Renew, renew!!!!
Always better to go out on top rather than dying a slow painful death.
Debbie Giannamore !
Okay I am begging you to reconsider this ! It is the worst idea . There are many more stories to tell! I consider the cast my extended family ! I love them and you are breaking my heart ! In two
DidiFromHolland
Of course it must get renewed! They had the most viewers. Season 5 was unbelievable strong and good. 6 will probably be even better. TNT is age discriminating ! I wonder if they really know what they have done.. TNT is making a big mistake!. Why must something end while it's doing so great!?!? James A Duff has so much more to show us. The actors have so much experience. They are the best! They are awesome for their fans. And TNT takes it all away from us and them..one of the biggest fandoms shattered by TNT. I'm beyond disappointed… Read more »
TNT has made fool moves for the last few seasons.
And the only reason for Nielsen dropoff was the time slot change to Wednesdays to kill the show and justify its fool decision.
Each season, from the beginning, I have looked forward to the next. It's one of the few series that is really good on every level. It's unfortunate that this decision has been made despite the fact that the numbers are still high (as noted in the article), the writing is still intelligent, and none of the actors are falling down on the job. It seems television executives have taken to prematurely yanking good programs only to replace them with very questionable decisions, that often don't last. I have often wondered what medication they were on when they do these things.… Read more »
Sure will miss Major Crimes, one of the best series I have ever seen and hope another network picks it up, still think there is a good future for this great crime series.
We should all boycott them ending Major Crimes. I love watching it and looked forward to it's return. This other crap that TNT is bringing on I will not be watching. Execellent cast and all will be missed. They get rid of the good shows and bring other crap on that no one is interested in seeing. Thank you Major Crimes for 5 seasons. I challenge others to let their voices be heard and maybe they will bring it back on TNT or another network?
Tha Critic
There's an upcoming season that's going to be the final season.
Hooked on TV
Oh, come on! The creator, the director, and the stars all say the same! Another stellar show down the tubes. Why? What? Who? I'll never figure it out!
I knew they were going to kill it a month or two back their website was obvious they were not even promoting repeats it was hard to find their page the marketing just wasn't there marketing , branding a show can and often does shore up ratings . TNT and USA have made questionable decisions on terminating the good shows and promoting the ones that target a narrower demographic audience . Major Crimes targeted the right demographics did no leg work in marketing . I have been in and worked on Indies that had better marketing .
TNT has gone way down hill. I used to watch, TNT USA and TBS almost exclusively but more and more they take away great shows that I watch every week and put in some crappy show, more and more reality television. I will miss Major Crimes, but I am not surprised. All the networks have gone downhill. Every show I love gets cancelled and reality tv sets in. Not much of a reason to pay for cable television anymore
Verdean Anderson
I will truly miss Major Crimes, one of the best shows on TNT and any other network..I have watched it when it was the Closer and continued to watch it when it became Major Crimes..this is a huge mistake to take it off the air and I know I am not the only one that feels this way. Shame on TNT.
Naomi B
This is such BS. Fans are already on a mission to save the show. In less than 12 hours have gathered over 1100 signatures to try to get another network or streaming platform to pick it up. The second highest watched show and over 10 million viewers is not ready to be cancelled. After 13 years, it still performs better than ANY of Reilly's Pet Projects. As a business woman, I have never wished bad for any business, but will LMAO when TNT allows Reilly to take it down in flames.
Herb Flynn
Petitions never work – these pittly fan efforts in the thousands won't save a show that has millions of viewers.
tony yamauchi
thank you all job well done i love all of you. 14344

A Dream is Born: KIPP Makes Aliyah
by Lee Wunsch
Eight years ago, catastrophic events were shaping the beginning of the new Jewish year. Hurricane Katrina had struck New Orleans and thousands of refugees were pouring into Houston, including 5,000 members of the Jewish community there. The Jewish Federation of Greater Houston mobilized its resources, galvanized the community and launched the greatest local relief effort in the history of the Houston Jewish community. I recall those days with enormous gratitude for all that participated in our collective response yet with melancholy for those that experienced devastating losses from the impact of the storm.
In the midst of the chaos and tumult of those difficult weeks and months, two other things occurred which went totally unnoticed but which shaped a vision for tomorrow.
Article after article were appearing in the Israeli press decrying the poor state of education across the country, particularly for first generation Israelis and for other individuals marginalized by Israeli society. For those of us whose hearts and minds are embedded in the Zionist ethos, it was difficult to imagine that our beloved Jewish state could be challenged by something so fundamental to our faith and our people.
And, during those fateful days, something else happened. I was invited by one of our community leaders to visit KIPP. KIPP is the "Knowledge is Power Program" that was revolutionizing public education in America. KIPP is a national network of free, open-enrollment, college-preparatory public charter schools with a track record of preparing students in underserved communities for success in college and life. I had heard a little about the program but had never seen one of the schools. In the midst of Katrina relief activities, I seized a moment of tranquility and went to see the flagship KIPP School in Houston.
Mike Feinberg, one of the visionary and now widely recognized and honored founders of KIPP, escorted me on the visit. I encountered a public school culture that focused on going to college and that embedded a robust, palpable relationship between school, parents and students. I witnessed first-hand the five core principles of the KIPP system: creating high expectations, making choices and commitments, spending more time on learning and study, seizing the power to lead and focusing on results.
And, I experienced something else. I saw first generation Americans, where English was not the primarily language of the home, breaking through to the excitement of learning and to the dream and goal of being the first in their family to go to college.
Eight years ago, KIPP was already having a profound impact across America – what started as a nascent group of schools nineteen years ago has expanded to 141 schools across the country educating 60,000 students. KIPP has created a game changing paradigm for public education in the United States.
A dream was born.
If KIPP could transform public education in America, why not bring KIPP to Israel, whose immigrant population reflected similar demographics, cultural and social challenges as the students enrolled at KIPP?
A dream was realized.
On August 27, 2013, the first KIPP-inspired school opened in Kiryat Bialik, Israel. The school will be officially dedicated on November 12, 2013.
This has been an arduous yet valuable eight years. We enlisted our long-standing friends and partners at the Leo Baeck Education Center in Haifa to dream with us. And, dream they did. They embraced the possibility of bringing the KIPP concept to Israel, dispatched their deputy director to Houston for a year to learn the KIPP methodology and philosophy and welcomed a leadership delegation, including KIPP founder Mike Feinberg, to Israel to explore the various avenues to insure the opening of the school. Meetings after meetings were held: with funders, members of Knesset (Israel's Ministry of Education approved the permitting of the school), and leaders of Israeli municipalities that might agree to host the school. There were many starts and stops. There were many obstacles thrown in the path of progress. But, the tenacity of Leo Baeck and its leaders and supporters in Israel and America proved to be an enterprise that was unwilling to give up. The leaders of KIPP, and most particularly Mike Feinberg, provided focus, consultation, enthusiasm, and experience as the project unfolded.
And, the Jewish Federation in Houston, where the vision was expressed and the dream was birthed, lent its significant network, its political capital and its shared vision to support Leo Baeck's efforts. And, we invested financially, along with individual funders who were already supporters of Leo Baeck and KIPP, in fashioning an idea that has now been brought to fruition.
All these years later, a school has opened, two more will open in Jerusalem a year from now and a fourth will open in Netivot. The singular goal is to create a network of KIPP-inspired schools across the Jewish state and truly transform the lives of underserved children in Israel. KIPP has made aliyah!
Dreaming, persevering and unrelenting energy drove Leo Baeck to open the first KIPP-inspired school in Israel. Is this the first step on the path to changing education in Israel? Im tirtzu ein zo agada – if you will it, it is no dream.
Lee Wunsch is the President and CEO of the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston.

Q: Write to Firestore Emulator from Angular throws security rules error: `Missing or insufficient permissions.` I wrote a Triggerable Firebase Cloud Function which triggers and runs in the emulator. I also wrote a Callable Firebase Cloud Function that I can call from Angular and I see the logs in the Firebase Emulator.
What's not working is to trigger a Firebase Cloud Function running in the emulator from Angular. The problem is that I can't write from Angular to the Firestore Emulator. This throws a security rules error:
Error adding document:  FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions.

The Firestore Emulator doesn't have security rules. In the Requests Monitor you can see security rules, apparently, but my Requests Monitor shows no activity.
The documentation says that you can connect your app to the Cloud Firestore Emulator. I've tried both a demo- project and a real project. Here's my code:
app.module.ts hooks up the emulators. environment.ts sets production: false.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { environment } from '../environments/environment';

// Angular
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

// AngularFire
import { provideFirebaseApp, initializeApp } from '@angular/fire/app';
import { provideFirestore, getFirestore, connectFirestoreEmulator } from '@angular/fire/firestore';
import { provideFunctions,getFunctions, connectFunctionsEmulator } from '@angular/fire/functions';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule,
    provideFirebaseApp(() => initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig)),
    provideFirestore(() => {
      const firestore = getFirestore();
      if (!environment.production) {
        connectFirestoreEmulator(firestore, 'localhost', 8080);
      }
      return firestore;
    }),
    provideFunctions(() => {
      const functions = getFunctions();
      if (!environment.production) {
        connectFunctionsEmulator(functions, 'localhost', 5001);
      }
      return functions;
    }),
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

app.component.html makes two simple forms.

Trigger Firebase Cloud Function

<form (ngSubmit)="triggerMe(triggerText)">
    <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="triggerText" name="message" placeholder="message" required>
    <button type="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Call Firebase Cloud Function

<form (ngSubmit)="callMe(messageText)">
    <input type="text" [(ngModel)]="messageText" name="message" placeholder="message" required>
    <button type="submit" value="Submit">Submit</button>
</form>

app.component.ts has two handler functions.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { getFunctions, httpsCallable, httpsCallableFromURL } from "firebase/functions";
import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';
import { getFirestore, setDoc, doc } from "firebase/firestore";
import { environment } from '../environments/environment';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  firebaseConfig = environment.firebaseConfig;
  firebaseApp = initializeApp(this.firebaseConfig);
  firestore = getFirestore(this.firebaseApp);
  functions = getFunctions(this.firebaseApp);

  triggerText: string = "";
  messageText: string = "";

  async triggerMe(triggerText: string) {
    try {
      console.log("Triggering Cloud Function: " + triggerText);
      await setDoc(doc(this.firestore, "Messages", triggerText), {
        original: triggerText,
        createdAt: new Date()
      });
    } catch(error) {
      console.error("Error adding document: ", error);
    }
  };

  callMe(messageText: string | null) {
    console.log("Calling Cloud Function: " + messageText);
    // const addMessage = httpsCallable(this.functions, 'addMessage'); // throws CORS error
    const addMessage = httpsCallableFromURL(this.functions, 'http://localhost:5001/demo-test/us-central1/addMessage');
    addMessage({ text: messageText })
      .then((result) => {
        console.log(result.data)
      });
  };
}

index.js has two Firebase Cloud Functions. The first triggers, the second is called.
import * as functions from "firebase-functions";

export const MakeUppercase = functions.firestore.document('Messages/{docId}').onCreate((snap, context) => {
  try {
    const original = snap.data().original;
    const uppercase = original.toUpperCase();
    functions.logger.log('Uppercasing', context.params.docId, original);
    return snap.ref.set({ uppercase }, { merge: true });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error); // emulator always throws an "unhandled error": "Your function timed out after ~60s."
  }
});

export const addMessage = functions.https.onCall((data, context) => {
  try {
    const original = data.text;
    const uppercase = original.toUpperCase();
    functions.logger.log('addMessage', original, uppercase);
    return uppercase;
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(error); // emulator always throws an "unhandled error": "Your function timed out after ~60s."
  }
});

The truth is mistakes happen, but what most people don't know is that learning from those mistakes becomes the most valuable lessons of your life. Each time you feel that you've failed, take a moment to step back and look at the big picture. How does this affect you immediately, and how does it affect you long-term? While the short-term may sting for the time being, more often than not, the long-term benefits from the additional knowledge and preventative measures for the future.
If you want to grow in a specific area of your money management, the first step is identifying it. Allow your friends or family to be candid and help you spot potential areas for improvement. If you love finding a great steal and have a tendency to overspend, a great transition may be using those passions to bargain for better deals while working within a budget. In finance, any skill or money management tactic can be taught. All you need is a willingness to learn.
We constantly hear comparisons and competition as one of the leading reasons Americans go into debt. While the Jones may have a new boat, a large home, or luxury vehicle, what they may also have is a mountain of debt. Instead of comparing your value to someone else's, we challenge you to define WHAT you value and focus on those aspirations instead. If a long enjoyable retirement is something you look forward to, an IRA or HSA is a great place for you to begin saving. If traveling has always been your dream, accumulating funds in an interest-earning savings account can make all the difference for you and your family's wanderlust.
No matter if you're working on free throws or monthly budgets, we agree that practice makes perfect. Repetition of new skills or tasks can help you cement the process and discover further ways to improve as you evolve your strategies. At Bank of Louisiana, we're always ready to help you grow your money management skills. If you'd like some help working on the fundamentals, we'd love to coach you along the way.

Q: Получить уникальные элементы нескольких коллекций с помощью LINQ Использую Entity Frameworkподход Data Base First. Получаю сгенерированные классы подобного типа:
public partial class Entry
{
    public int Id {get; set;}
    public string Name {get; set;}
}

public partial class Entry2
{
    public Entry2()
    {
        this.Enrties = new HashSet<Entry>();
    }
    public virtual ICollection<Entry> Enrties {get; set;}
}

Имеется необходимость получить уникальные элементы из сложной струтуры, содержащей коллекцию, внутри каждого элемента которой есть еще коллекция, а именно, опираясь на исходный код, приведенный в примере и имея исходные данные в виде коллекции:
// list - содержит коллекцию элементов Entry2, внутри каждого из которых коллекция Entry
List<Entry2> list;

Как получить все не повторяющиеся элементы типа Entry, содержащиеся в коллекции переменной list?

A: Нужно немного дополнить Ваш класс Entry интерфейсом IEquatable:
public partial class Entry : IEquatable<Entry>
{
    public bool Equals(Entry other)
    {
        if (Object.ReferenceEquals(other, null))
            return false;

        if (Object.ReferenceEquals(this, other))
            return true;

        return Id.Equals(other.Id) && Name.Equals(other.Name);
    }

    public override int GetHashCode()
    {
        int hashProductName = Name == null ? 0 : Name.GetHashCode();
        int hashProductCode = Id.GetHashCode();
        return hashProductName ^ hashProductCode;
    }
}

После этого, вот такой код:
// для демонстрации заполним коллекции
List<Entry2> lst = new List<Entry2>()
{
    new Entry2()
    {
        Enrties =
            new List<Entry>()
            {
                new Entry() {Id = 1, Name = "1"},
                new Entry() {Id = 2, Name = "2"},
                new Entry() {Id = 3, Name = "3"}
            }
    },
    new Entry2()
    {
        Enrties =
            new List<Entry>()
            {
                new Entry() {Id = 3, Name = "3"},
                new Entry() {Id = 4, Name = "4"},
                new Entry() {Id = 5, Name = "5"}
            }
    },
    new Entry2()
    {
        Enrties =
            new List<Entry>()
            {
                new Entry() {Id = 5, Name = "5"},
                new Entry() {Id = 6, Name = "6"},
                new Entry() {Id = 7, Name = "7"}
            }
    },
};

var distinct = lst.SelectMany(x => x.Enrties).Distinct().ToList(); // 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

В рузультате, в переменной distinct будут только уникальные.
Немного пояснений про SelectMany:

SelectMany - проецирует каждый элемент последовательности в
  IEnumerable<T>, объединяет результирующие последовательности в одну и
  вызывает функцию селектора результата для каждого элемента этой
  последовательности.

Немного пояснений про Distinct:

Distinct - возвращает различающиеся элементы последовательности,
  используя для сравнения значений компаратор проверки на равенство по
  умолчанию.

Наследовали IEquatable и реализовали методы Equals и GetHashCode для того, чтобы Distinct сравнивал по нашим правилам, а не по умолчанию.

Mrs. Evelyn Ama Kumi Richardson, the new Minster for Bono Region, has on Monday 29, April 2019 officially commenced work.
This was after she was approved by parliament and sworn into office by President Nana Addo-Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Mrs. Richardson is the first female Regional Minister in 60 years when the Region was created in 1959.
At a staff durbar to welcome the minister and her deputy, Mr. Siaka Stephen, who is also a Member of Parliament for Jaman North, Mrs. Richardson thanked the President for her appointment and Parliament for approving her appointment.
She said the durbar was to enable her and management to deliberate on how to tackle the challenges facing the staff and move the region forward.
To this end, she said, her doors were opened for views, ideas, suggestions and contributions from the general public especially stakeholders to bring development to the people.
Mrs. Richardson noted that the region was partitioned into three, Bono, Bono East and Ahafo, for the purpose of development and assured that her administration would work hard to galvanize both human and material resources to bring development to the people.
Nana Bofobene Gyeabour, Paramount Chief of Dwenem Traditional Area, who was chairman of the occasion, advised Mrs. Richardson to respect the time and instill discipline at work.
Nana Gyeabour pledged the support of the Chiefs to the development of the region.

Health coaching is not a bad profession and it also helps you make some good money. But the thing is you cannot work in this profession all your life. You will have to retire at some time. Moreover, you cannot rely on a single income. So, to learn business it is important that you arrange proper business coaching. You can learn the minor details of the business from the business coaches. This will not only increase your knowledge but will also help start a business.
Starting your own business sounds like a very big deal. But we are not suggesting you invest all your money and starting a business. You can start a small business for the beginning and know if you can really do it or not. One more thing that you can do is investing the money with some other person in business together. This way you both can start a big business with fewer shares.
As you are already making some good revenue from the health coaching, there is nothing bad in making some extra from a business. You can add this income to your savings and use it later for the bad times. This is the best thing you can do with your knowledge of the business. Most people wait all their lives for some luck to happen but you can simply make some extra bucks while you sit in your office. You do not have to carry the weight here and there. All you need to do is learn the business and invest in a business.
Above mentioned points explain why should you learn a business. It is not like you will be wasting your time. Even if you do not invest in a business, you still get some extra knowledge you did not have before. So, business coaching is surely good for health coaches.

Salsa Roja; the New Album from Berta Rojas A Latin American journey of life and love.
[CRÍTICA DISPONIBLE EN INGLÉS ]
Following on her immensely successful and Latin Grammy-nominated collaboration with Paquito D'Rivera entitled "Dia y Medio", Berta Rojas continues to educate, inspire and enlighten with her 2013 release "Salsa Roja." It is a work backed by heart-warming experiences and intriguing stories. It is a work of sublime beauty and delicate sensitivity. It is a work of incredible compositions and flawless performances.
The seeds of the album were planted while Berta was on tour in England. She met the brilliant English composer for guitar Vincent Lindsey-Clark himself intrigued by the music of Berta's Latin America. She invited him or maybe challenged him to write a "salsa with development." In other words, she asked him to write a guitar suite. The result of this invitation is a work of wonder and imagination.
She also brought to the album some of Latin America's most interesting and yet unknown composers and innovators. From Argentina comes the music of Quique Sinesi's "Danza Sin Fin." Edin Solis offers the tambito rhythm of Costa Rica's Guanacaste province. The "dreamy and nostalgic" work of Julio Cesar Oliva from Mexico. Lindsey-Clark himself employed the galopa rhythm of Berta's beloved Paraguay.
Once again, Berta plays the role of ambassador for Latin American music to the rest of the world who remains unacquainted with such exquisite works of beauty.
The album is partitioned into sections according to the composers. It is a strategy that works well in an educational and thematic approach. The first section belongs to Edin Solis, a two-time Grammy winner who learned classical guitar in Spain and France. Solis has been a teacher of Costa Rican music to over 30 countries.
The opening piece is entitled "Tambito josefino" [Tambito from San Jose] and is built on one of the two most popular rhythms of Costa Rica, the tambito (the other being the pasillo). The tambito is a festive 6/8 syncopated rhythm to which Solis added harmonies usually not found in that style. The arrangement in this track was specifically prepared for the The Recycled Instruments Orchestra of Cateura who appears on this track with Berta. Solis himself conducts the orchestra.
Lind That orchestra is comprised of young people, even children, who came from the impoverished outskirts of Asuncion, Paraguay, in a community called Cateura. The children wanted to learn music but had no financial means of obtaining instruments. Their parents and others began scouring landfills for raw materials from which to make instruments. Those materials were taken to Don Nicholas Gomez who began crafting musical instruments out of marmalade tins, cigar boxes, galvanized pipes and more.
The instruments Don Nicholas crafted and the musicianship of these energetic and artistic young people is enthralling. When I asked Berta if these instruments on the track were the very same as the recycled instruments, Berta said that they were the very ones shaped from the raw materials of the landfill. However, to soften the sound a bit, guest musicians with violin, viola, cello and double-bass were added.
One of the stars is a 12 year-old girl named Noelia. She plays 2nd guitar to Berta's 1st guitar. Berta calls Noelia "a gift to the world." When Berta first met the young girl, Noelia was playing a guitar fashioned from metal marmalade cans for the body. Two days later, Noelia received from Berta a Yamaha guitar from Berta's own collection. Berta incidentally plays a guitar made by Michael O'Leary with Savarez strings.
"Tambito josefino" is a beautiful melody with mesmerizing harmonies on top of that hypnotic syncopated rhythm. Solis' arrangement is exact and appropriate. The story behind the music and the music itself renders the piece irresistible.
"Calle de Viento" [Street of the Wind] is the second piece from Edin Solis on the album. It is the title track of Solis' own 1998 solo album. There is a melancholy here that is called to remind of the all-too-brief passage of life. Berta said that, although the classical guitar genre has been dominated by men, perhaps it requires a woman's touch to bring such delicate sensitivity. This is especially true of this particular work. It is impossible to imagine any other artist surpassing Berta's work on this all-too-brief song.
The second section belongs to Vincent Lindsey-Clark, a British guitarist who is better known for his compositions for the guitar. His compositions on "Salsa Roja" will only enhance and expand that renown.
While Berta was touring alone in England, she met Vincent Lindsey-Clark and struck up an instant friendship with the Englishman. She discovered his interest in exploring Latin American music and she offered him a chance to compose a "salsa with development." He took up the invitation and within a short time, Berta received the charts for the first of four movements of what would become a suite called "Fiesta Americana."
The first movement, and third track of the album, is "Danza Galopa." Berta calls it "the most serious piece of the suite." It is a cross-rhythm of 3/4 and 6/8 and it is the 3 against 2 rhythm that Berta finds so attractive as she performs it. In her words, she has an "affinity" with that rhythm.
What is so haunting about the composition and performance is the four-note motif that is developed in a minor 2nd which gives it the richly sad character. It is wondrously crafted and executed. The delivery is absolutely spell-binding.
"Salsa Roja" is Lindsey-Clark's second part of the suite. There is a major shift for the motif which ties it to "Danza Galopa" splendidly. The regret of the previous track is transformed by the rhythm and key into a celebration.
It is based on the tumbao bass groove but Lindsey-Clark's melodies and progressions created a one-piece salsa band for Berta's lone guitar. Salsa is a Cuban genre with several sub-genres. With salsa's complex Afro-Cuban rhythms and the fused elements of Jazz, it is a difficult piece. If salsa is Cuban dance music, as has been described, then this piece is well-suited for it.
The third movement of the suite is "El Vuelo de la Mariposa" [The Flight of the Butterfly]. The imagery is of a butterfly taking off from an English garden and, taken on the wind, crosses the Atlantic to finally comes to rest in Berta's beloved Paraguay.
Berta, asked which of the pieces touches her the most, said that "La Mariposa" is truly something special. Especially since it was written for Berta and for the way she plays. All of the pieces, however, are important for her.
The final movement of the suite is "Fiesta Finale." It is Lindsey-Clark's own musings on Latin American music. It is almost a developed recapitulation of the first three movements. The ties of motifs, runs and progressions create an almost symphonic feel to the suite. Berta indeed received what she had requested a salsa with development.
The third section is devoted to the "dreamy and nostalgic" music of Mexico's Julio Cesar Oliva. It includes five pieces written by Oliva, with one of them being an extended five-part variations on a lullaby.
"Vengo a Decirte Que Te Quiero" [I've Come to Tell You I Love You] is the first of Oliva's compositions and serves as the seventh track on the album. It is the first of 25 pieces for solo guitar, inspired by the art of Mexico's Fernando Pereznielo (d.2001). It is almost a neo-Impressionist piece and in places calls to mind the warmth of Debussy's "Claire de Lune." There are moments of shyness as a would-be lover professes affection.
Berta's approach is achingly beautiful. It is touching and it is so very memorable.
Variaciones Sobre Una Canción De Cuna - Duermete Mi Nino" [Variations on a Lullaby - Go to Sleep, My Child] is the five-part piece that offers five variations of a Central American lullaby. The theme is introduced in the "Andante Calmo" followed by three variations and the finale "Allegro."
The pieces are virtuosic, delicate, sensitive and demanding and Berta handles them with such apparent ease.
This is followed by a three-part Romantic piece still by Oliva. "Tres Instantes De Amor" [Three Moments of Love] is a study in the beginning and advance of infatuation. Part one, "Aparicion" [Appearance] is a lovely first-sighting of the loved one. It is a sweet reminder of the blossoming of new love.
Part two "Te Contemplo Desde Mi Ventana" [I Gaze Upon You from My Window] carries a profound sense of longing, almost like the oboe's sustained note in the Overture to "Tristan und Isolde." Berta brings that imagery to multi-faceted life in such sustained sensitivity. Part three is "Obsesion" [Obsession]. It is lively and single-minded as the theme rolls over and over.
The final section is a single piece written by Quique Sinesi entitled "Danza Sin Fin" [Endless Dance]. It is a 6/8 and 7/4 piece that was originally composed as a duo for piano and guitar. Sinesi himself arranged it just for Berta. It is the dance of life without end.
Even though titled as a dance, the song is a rapturous and joyful hymn to life. It is the sound of wonder and delight. If one were forced to choose a one-word description of Berta Rojas and her artistry, "skilled", "sensitive", "virtuosic", or even "genius" would fail to carry the full impact and import of her. She is… delightful. No one could say that of Segovia or Bream or Parkening but it is true of Berta.
From the first track with instruments from a landfill to a final track of celebration, "Salsa Roja" is a portrayal of life and love. Above poverty, above loneliness, above sadness, love and music and the love of music carries on in a dance without end. And Berta Rojas plays the tune.

2. Can You Overdose On Alfenta?
A strong, prescription opioid Alfenta is intended to be used only in professional medical, clinical and hospital settings. Alfenta is a rapid-acting opioid medication used as an anesthetic and pain reliever. Alfenta's generic active ingredient is alfentanil. This medication isn't just a controlled substance, which is the case with all opioids, but it's also only meant to be administered intravenously or through an epidural by a trained medical professional. When someone is administered Alfenta during a surgery or procedure, or to relieve pain following a surgery, their vitals have to be carefully monitored. For Alfenta to be given safely, there needs to be equipment and medical professionals to monitor the person's breathing, heart rate and blood pressure.
Like other opioids, Alfenta binds to receptors throughout the central nervous system. When this happens, a flood of certain neurotransmitters like dopamine goes into the brain. Some people given Alfenta may experience a euphoric rush or high as a result of these effects. This is the case with all opioids, and this is why these drugs are so addictive. When opioids are administered in a medical environment, are prescribed to treat pain or are misused, they trigger a pleasure and reward response in the brain. That response is how addiction develops as well as physical dependence. Fentanyl analogs and derivatives like Alfenta are among some of the most dangerous opioids when they're diverted from medical use and misused recreationally. These drugs are much stronger than prescription narcotics typically prescribed for pain. Another fentanyl derivative is carfentanil, which is a synthetic opioid produced from morphine. Carfentanil is estimated to be 100 times more potent even than the already highly dangerous fentanyl.
Can You Overdose On Alfenta?
Not all of these symptoms might be present if someone is overdosing on an opioid like Alfenta, but even if just one occurs, it's important to seek emergency medical care. The faster emergency care can arrive, the better the chances the person will survive. If someone is suspected to be overdosing on an opioid like Alfenta, there are certain medications they can be given that reverse the drug effects. Naloxone is a generic drug that is an opioid antagonist. When it's administered to someone believed to be overdosing, it knocks the drugs out of the receptors they're occupying and reverses their effects. However, naloxone doesn't replace the need for emergency medical care. Even if naloxone is on hand and administered and the person wakes up, they still need emergency care.
When you're facing addiction, whether in your own life or the life of your loved one, it can feel like something you can't escape. Recovery is possible, however, if you have the right treatment. Reach out to us to learn more.

We believe that the structure of our firm, our approach to the practice of law and the type of friends and clients that we represent and advise, attract talented, entrepreneurial and forward thinking lawyers who work together to achieve superior results for those friends and clients who count on us in their complex and critically important situations.
Those are the persons that we want to join Smith Hurst. With that in mind, we hire those attorneys who we expect can become partners of the firm. While there is no predetermined hiring target, persons who we believe possess this characteristic typically have an outstanding academic achievement record (often with Law Review experience), are well-rounded and are committed to excellence in the practice of law.

We also place importance and emphasis on having a diverse group of lawyers from all walks of life.
We are committed to providing our attorneys with a level of compensation (including base salary and year-end bonuses) that is higher than that of any comparable firm. The benefits we offer also reflect this commitment, including full payment of premiums for comprehensive medical, group life and dental insurance plans, participation in our 401(k) retirement plan and payment of relocation expenses for those attorneys that are not located in Northwest Arkansas.

Storytelling for technology clients is a different artform than it was 10 years ago. The days of live press conferences and media tours through major cities to tout new products are long gone – now we're tasked with positioning our clients' experts as thought leaders, not as much around the bits and bytes of the technology, but more so around the application of that technology.
Storytelling for technology clients is a different art form than it was 10 years ago. The days of live press conferences and new product roadshows across major cities are largely gone – now we're tasked with positioning our clients' experts as thought leaders, not as much around the bits and bytes of the technology, but more so around the applications of that technology. Today, a tech PR expert isn't simply one who can demystify complex technology; instead, we must offer context and industry-specific nuance.
Greenough has been agency of record for a Massachusetts-based IT services company for many years and we've lived the evolution of tech PR alongside them, moving from explaining to a technology executive audience "here's how BI works" to "here's how BI impacts insurance" to "here's how BI can digitally transform an organization." Our work for this client is the PR industry evolution in a microcosm.
Tracking trending news is a team effort and must be part of everyone's agenda. Our agency functions like a newsroom: We track key topics from early in the morning using various automatic alerts and supplement that with manual scanning and the sharing of physical papers throughout the day. Whatever process you adopt, have a strategy for news capture, synthesis and action. Without a process, you'll miss too many opportunities. For the client referenced above, Amazon's acquisition of PillPack provided a prime opportunity. We saw the news early and crafted a statement in less than an hour, enabling us to secure a quote for our executive in a top-tier healthcare trade. If we flagged that news later in the day, or the following day, it would have been too late to capitalize.
Our office has an open floor plan with a noticeable buzz, which encourages the sharing of news discoveries and ideas. We also have a weekly media best practices meeting, which is effectively an editorial meeting where pitches are challenged and refined. Between this meeting and the just-in-time collaboration, there is ample opportunity to share and reshape stories to achieve greater impact. When we began the healthcare initiative for our tech client, it was a topic for the best practices meeting that week. The account team left the meeting with a list of new high-impact ideas for the client, including a leading healthcare podcast, which we booked before close of business that day.
We take the study of our clients' industries seriously. Yes, we studied industries 10 years ago, but with fewer "slotted" opportunities for technology A or technology B today we must rely more on industry context and play off trends. This speaks to the way PR has changed: How can we deliver creative, breakthrough results for clients if we don't dedicate the time to understanding how their market and customers are changing as well as their technology offerings? This recent experience confirms this: After 10 years in service to the client we know its technology well, but when we combined that with our agency's deep knowledge of healthcare, we were able to make an impact quickly, and we're continue to build on that momentum.

Gabigol: I've been overwhelmed by the extraordinary Flamengo fans
Gabigol is threatening milestones set by Adriano and Zico
He discusses River Plate, Liverpool and Qatar 2022
The 23-year-old waxes lyrical over the Flamengo fans
'Boom Boom' 'Cesaro Section' 'We're goanna see a try!' 'Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery' 'We came to see the Dream Shake' 'Sidney, will you marry me?' 'Austin 3:16'
Banners with those words on them have been commonplace during the enrapturing capstones of Boris Becker, Cesaro, Greg Inglis, Mirko 'Cro Cop', Hakeem Olajuwon, Sidney Crosby and 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin. Never in sporting history, however, have so many fans synchronously paraded identical individual-extolling signs at arenas as the masses are now at the Maracana.
'Hoje tem gol do Gabigol!,' ('Today has a Gabigol goal!'), it reads. It's entrancing Rio de Janeiro like samba music did in the early 20th century.
Firstly, because Gabriel Barbosa represents the planet's best-supported club, a self-emblazoned '40-million nation'. Secondly, because the 23-year-old Brazil striker is scoring goals as regularly as he used to eat cake (read on). Finally, because his seldom charisma – peroxide-blond hair, funky celebrations, interaction with worshippers, embracement of the fan-formulated banner – has endeared him exceedingly to the Flamenguistas since he arrived on loan from Inter Milan in January.
Gabigol's 20 goals in 22 games have Flamengo eight points clear at the Brasileirao summit. His five goals in as many matches during the Copa Libertadores knockout phase have O Mengão back in the final for the first time in 38 years.
FIFA.com caught up with Gabigol to discuss hunting landmarks set by Zico and Adriano, the Flamengo fans' passion, River Plate, Liverpool and his hopes of going to the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar™.
FIFA.com: You had an excellent campaign for Santos in 2018 and finished as the top scorer in the Brasileirao, but do you think your game has reached another level this year?
Gabriel Barbosa: I think it has. I think I've evolved a lot, and this makes me very happy because I'm still very young. I've changed a lot of things in my life since I came back from Europe, and this year I've been particularly focused on this. I hired a nutrition doctor. I loved cake, sweet things – I've cut them out. I hired a chef. I eat right. I have a physiotherapist and people who look after other things, and this has helped me a lot – I can focus on football. I've managed some wonderful statistics with the help of my team, but I always want to improve.
You've already surpassed Adriano's return of 19 goals in 2009, you're one shy of equalling Zico's 21-goal record for a Flamengo player in a Brasileirao campaign, and you are close to becoming only the third player – after Dada Maravilha and Tulio Maravilha – to finish as the competition's leading marksman in back-to-back seasons. How does all this make you feel?
It's a great honour, but I don't deserve to be mentioned beside Adriano and Zico. They are Flamengo and Brazilian football legends, and they won titles for this club. I haven't won anything yet and there's a lot to do to win the Brasileirao and Libertadores titles. Besides, my statistics are the result of the whole team's work, not my own. I'm very grateful to my team-mates and my coach. I'll admit that my focus is not just to become a champion with Flamengo, so obviously if I can finish [as top goalscorer] again I'll be really happy.
One of the players you link up with especially well is Bruno Henrique…
I've known him since we were at Santos. We get on really well, and on the pitch we're getting better and better at linking up. He's a great player. I was really happy when he signed for Flamengo. He went through a tough time at Santos with the injury, so I'm really happy for him that he's having a great spell and got in the Seleção.
What's Jorge Jesus like to work under?
He's a really special coach, maybe the best I've ever had. He's brought a lot of new ideas to Flamengo and they've been working really well. He's very intense, but he has affection of all the players and the supporters.
When you joined Flamengo you knew that they had 40 million supporters, that they were really passionate, but has the level of their passion surprised you?
Absolutely. It's inexplicable. It's something else. Every game is packed out. Wherever we go we have enormous support. We all know Flamengo's history, that they have the biggest fan base, that they are really passionate, but you have to feel it, to be on the pitch to truly understand. It's extraordinary, beyond anything I imagined. It's overwhelmed me.
And the supporters absolutely love Gabigol…
It makes me really happy. I've only been at Flamengo a short while, and obviously the goals and the victories help, but the supporters have been behind me since the first game. The enormous affection they have shown me has really overwhelmed me. I'm so grateful. I try to repay this on the pitch.
How did it feel to help Flamengo return to the Libertadores final after 38 years in such emphatic style?
Our target was just to get there, and obviously we're really happy to have done it with such a victory. It had been too long for a club as big as Flamengo to have gone without being in the final. But our focus now is on the Brasileirao – the next game, then the one after. We have to try and put in good performances so that when the 23rd arrives, everyone is in good form and confident.
What do you think of this River Plate team?
They're a really strong side. They have a lot of experience. They're the [reigning] Libertadores champions, they are used to reaching the final. They are really established, really tough, and we have to respect them. But we know our own potential and have to play our own game. It will be a great game, but right now we're concentrating on the Brasileirao because we really want to become Brazilian champions.
Liverpool will represent Europe at the FIFA Club World Cup Qatar 2019™. What do you think of Jurgen Klopp's side?
(laughs) First we have to beat River Plate, then win a semi-final to, who knows, play against Liverpool. The supporters talk about this, '81 a lot but, as I said, our focus for now is on the Brasileirao. But Liverpool are a great side. Their [front three] is of the highest quality.
On the subject of players of the highest quality, you recently returned to the Brazil squad. How was that experience?
It was incredible. It's great to be in the Seleção – my country, the biggest national team in the world. It was an incredible experience. I always learn things when I am there. I really enjoyed being there, pulling on the Brazil shirt, and being able to play a few minutes.
How badly do you want to play in the FIFA World Cup?
It's a big dream. The World Cup is so special. I remember Brazil winning the World Cup in 2002, even though I was really young. And Brazil hosting the World Cup in 2014. We didn't get the result we wanted, but it was a beautiful spectacle. Brazil has so many great players in each position. There's a lot that needs to happen for me to realise my dream, but I try to work hard every day to keep improving and I'd love to do enough to be there in 2022.
Who have been the best forwards you've seen in your life?
Ronaldo, Neymar, Robinho, and my idol Cristiano Ronaldo. Firmino and Gabriel Jesus are also great players and it's a pleasure to play with them in the Seleção and watch them play.

Q: Hide section headers in StickyListHeaders I am using StickyListHeaders library in my project.I have added section headers in the app and it works also.But for some condition i want to hide section headers.
How can i achieve this please guide me.
Thanks.

A: in getHeaderView - set HeaderView.Visibility(View.GONE);

A: I have the same problem. header.setVisibility(View.GONE) doesn't work.
Solution is:
layout for header view must be with  layout_height = "wrap_content"
and then, for content of this layout, you can setVisibility(View.GONE)

A: I used same Adapter for two layouts
Layout with header
<se.emilsjolander.stickylistheaders.StickyListHeadersListView
android:id="@+id/listview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@android:color/white" />

Layout without header
<ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/listview"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" >

onCreateView:
if (needHeader) {
    mainView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.ly_list_with_header, null);
    stickyListHeadersListView = (StickyListHeadersListView) mainView.findViewById(R.id.listview);
} else {
    mainView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.ly_without_header, null);
    listView = (ListView) mainView.findViewById(R.id.listview);
}

on task result:
if (needHeader) {
    stickyListHeadersListView.setAdapter(adapter);
} else {
    listView.setAdapter(adapter);

Bangabandhu Satellite to begin transmission Tuesday
Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha . Dhaka | Published: 23:10, Sep 03,2018	| Updated: 23:28, Sep 03,2018
Bangladesh's first geostationary communication satellite Bangabandhu-I is set to start its maiden transmission today through the broadcasting of South Asian Football Federation Championship.
'We are set to broadcast the SAFF Championship using BS-I on Bangladesh Television,' said Shahjahan Mahmood, chairman of Bangladesh Communication Satellite Company Limited, the organisation responsible for operating the satellite.
He added, 'We will provide feed to BTV after receiving it from a private satellite television station which owns the broadcasting rights of the tournament.'
Mahmood, however, termed this broadcast as 'pre-test' for commercial operations while all previous tests required were completed successfully since the satellite took position into the orbit.
'Now, the time has come to move ahead. . . and we would be able to observe the operation of BS-I in the next two weeks through this trial test,' he said.
Asked if local satellite television channels were ready to receive the service, he said that BCSCL engineers were working with them to install the necessary equipment.
'Some equipment regarding the satellite connection is needed to be installed for switching over to Bangabandhu-I from other satellites,' said the chairman.
He said that Thales Alenia Space, the manufacturing company of the satellite, was yet to handover the control of the two ground stations – the primary one in Gazipur and the secondary one in Rangamati, to the BCSCL.
Bangladesh was hosting the 12th edition of the SAFF Championship, the biennial international men's football championship of South Asia, organised by the SAFF. The championship began on September 4 and would conclude on September 15.
Bangabandhu-I was successfully launched from the historic Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Centre in Florida of United States at 16:14 local time (02:14 BST) on May 11.
An advanced rocket 'Block 5' version of the Falcon 9 of SpaceX lifted the satellite for the orbit located at 119.1 degrees east and after ten days of launch, the satellite took position at the desired location (orbital slot).
According to the agreement, Thales Alenia Space of France would manage the satellite along with local engineers for the next three years. An 18-member team of local engineers had been trained up to handle the operation of the satellite.
Bangladesh will operate the satellite from 119.1 degrees east using a payload comprising 26 Ku Band and 14 C-Band transponders to deliver focused telecommunications coverage to Bangladesh. One transponder was equivalent to 36 MHz.

In the face of the overnight changes and elaborate overhauls that often characterize the world of cycling, it's reassuring to those of us more set in our ways to see a few small parts staying the same. The Salsa Titanium Flip-Offs Front Skewer is one such example. The Flip-Offs original CNC-machined design and light, durable titanium construction is as beyond reproach now as it was back in the '90's, and its bright, poppy colors continue to represent a functional and aesthetic upgrade to your road, 'cross, or commuter frame. Salsa continues to shape the lever so it's comfortable to hold in your hand and easy to tighten down for quick, easy adjustments.


I am trying to run an ADB shell command from inside an android app using the JAVA's Runtime.getRunTime.exec API. I am getting an error "ERROR/ProcessManager(1041): Error running adb: Permission denied". Wanted to check if there is any permission that I need to request to get it working or that running the adb shell command would not be allowed from with in the Android app.
I am able to execute other linux commands like 'ls' from the android app though.

I have copied a file named hello(compiled form hello.c) in android data folder and using command like "adb shell datahello" in android machine terminal. and it give fine output.
Actual Question is that is there is any way that in button click listener, i initiate the same command like "adb shell datahello" (or any other appropriate way to execute adb shell commands) and gets its output in TextView.
but there is nothing happen.. I also use logcat to observe, but have the same result.
so could app use (linux) command?
However I get a permissions error since I am not supposed to access the sys directory. I have also tried to place the command in a String just in case spaces caused a problem but it didn't make much differense.
And the command prompt when running adb shell tells me error: device not found although the emulator is open.
I am trying to write an android app for root users that runs a series of shell commands, or a shell script if that is preferable, and displays the output... can anyone point me in the right direction?
I have a netbook with Android installed. Is it possible to access the bash shell?
I am trying to use "adb -d shell" command to start a shell on device (android dev 1 phone ) from my vista command line. But whenever I try giving such command it does not open any shell or interaction on the phone device. But instead it goes to the next line in the cmd as '$'. any help would really appreciable. I have installed adb_usb_windows.
Previously I used work well with the emulator. Using adb command never troubled me. But now with new device, I am not able to open a shell using adb -d shell command on the phone.
I am trying to dump the content of sqlite via adb shell command.
My questions I try both 'tables' command and dump the schema for 'main', I can't find my table. Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong?
In my application I want to create a directory xyz in sdcard at the runtime from the my Application. But it doesn't work.
I try to execute shell commands, this does work as it should. Even the result comes back (as is see on LogCat). The problem ist the last line of the result. Every time a readLine() on the last line occurs (which shouldn't occur, temp should be null), the app hangs forever and doesn't come back from the readLine call. Maybe you find the error. I tried readUTF and standart read(), all the same problem. And yes, the app got su-rights.
I wish to know how in java I should receive these parameters. I do know how to deliver parameters via adb shell am start command but I still have a problem to get them in java (android) code.
My class extends InstrumentationTestCase and not Activity class!
So I cannot perform: this.getIntent().
Can you help me to find out what action should I use here.
I also read that there are secondary attributes: category, type, component, extras. I know that I also need to update the manifest file accordingly. Sorry for so many q/a.
Specifically, I was trying to use the sqlite3 command with the adb shell to run some queries on the database of the Android application I'm building. I kept getting "sqlite3: permission denied". I'm developing on a Nexus One that I purchased from Google. Does my phone need to be rooted or something?
I am wondering what terminal command I can use to check if a process has been cached. On my Sprint Galaxy Nexus, rooted, with the latest build of the Paranoid Android jelly bean rom, I can go to my settings, click on apps, swipe to the "Running Apps" list, and click on the button at the top of the screen that says "Show Cached Processes," and that displays the list that I am trying to access. My reasoning for doing this, is to use "Secure Settings" in conjunction with "Tasker" to check if my "Groove IP" application is running. Initially, I was trying to use "pgrep -l com.*" and check that list for "com.gvoip" too see if "Groove IP" is running in the tray (pull down menu), but if the process is cached, it still shows up in that list. How to get a list of cached processes from terminal.
The latest version of Google Now (2.1) doesn't like being flashed. If you flash it via CWM it seems to break voice search functionality, causing a force close.
So, I thought this would be perfect to execute in a shell script via CWM/Edify.
So far I've tried all manner of commands. First I was trying the above command in a install.sh file, before I realised that "pm" wasn't present anywhere in /sbin/ (the header of my shell script is #!/sbin/sh").
Which, copies the files correctly. This also isn't my first time running scripts in my installer, but this is the first time I've attempted this. To no avail. This same command works in the adb shell, though.
Also, is there another way of flashing that may work? I heard about putting the original file ("Velvet.apk") in /system/app and then putting the updated version in /data/appcom.google.andorid.googlequicksearch-1.apk but this doesn't work either.
Running the above script in Busybox installer's script running function also works perfectly. The only thing it won't do is install from CWM.
I'm trying to unzip an apk using the device shell. I need to see the package name of the app contained in the apk. I tried using unzip -l but I just get output that says "zip flags 1 and 8 not supported". How can I unzip an apk? For that matter, am I using the right tool for this job? I just want to view the manifest of the apk, really. I have busybox.
i have made a kinda theme installer (for stockrom)..
n on button click i add this line of code..
By using command prompt access the device shell/terminal. then use the su command getting permission denied error. Why this happening? how can i solve this problem.
The use case that I have to emulate is to inject random keypresses. I have observed it that it is possible using adb shell command "input". Can someone point me to the source code in the android build tree, so that I can accordingly implement the same in our test app.
When I start the ADB shell from the Windows command line, and type the command "ls", the list of files I get is not sorted by name. Also, if I enter "ls -r" which should reverse sort, I get the error message "no such file". If I type "busybox ls -l", I get the expected sorted list. Also, other commands like "busybox ls -la" work.
My Phone is a Samsung Captivate i897, rooted from Gingerbread with Corn Kernel v7.06 with Superuser and BusyBox installed.
How can I get the Busybox version of the shell commands to run without having to type "busybox" all the time?
I am looking for a way to send an email, preferably with an attachment, from a command line shell script (bourn/ash/whatever-it-is). No user interaction is a requirement.
It looks like an "am start" command might be able to do it via launching another app, and I've seen some examples out there, but nothing that I've had success with.
I have a big rsync backup script that I run to back up my device to my server, but I want to be able to email myself a notification if the backup fails, along with a copy of a log file. This script runs on a regular basis via a scheduler without any user interaction, but I have noticed that rsync has been failing recently and I've needed to re-run it manually later.
I am a pro Linux sysadmin but don't know jack about Java. I do bash, python, perl, and some C. My current script is just a sh shell script.
FYI my device is a Nexus One on Cyanogen 7.2. FYI I own the mail server here. I use k9mail as my primary mail app but the gmail app could be used as well.
If there was just a "mail" command.
Have just got a Galaxy S and this is my first experience with Android.
a. How do I set the host name for my phone?
b. How do I start a command line shell?
Is it a way to access Linux shell command from with the Android Java SDK? I would like to do it as a root user after the user gives the permission.
I've been a couple of days trying to solve this thing but I can'f figure it out.The problem is, simple activity, with simple layout, ScrollView -> LinearLayout -> and a lot of buttons inside the layout (within the scroll content). Everything works just fine but one tricky thing. When I click a button let's say at the top of the scroll content and inmediatelly I scroll down to the bottom of the content and I click other button there, nothing happens until I click a second time and all come to normal again.This can be reproduced anytime and it's code independent (i've tried more than 20 scenarios). I've not much experience in android yet but looks like the scroll listener stops the onclick listener or something like that.
So I've been extremely frustrated by this for a long time now.I've posted before, but can't seem to find a good solution. My goal is to have something pretty much exactly like the installed application details page in the Android Market.I need a list of items displayed along with other content above the list, and would like the content above to scroll up along with the list (exactly like the application details does for the "My Review" and other descriptive info).Due to responses to my previous posts, I came to believe that it really wasn't possible to do this with a ListView.So rather than using a ListView, I refactored my code to use a simple LinearLayout and add individual View items to the list, thinking I could just set each View as clickable and add an OnClickListener to each View in the LinearLayout.That's not working at all though, and now I'm getting even more frustrated.If someone can help me get the OnClickListener working, then I think it'll work, but I do need a separator for the LinearLayout.How do I add a separator like the one used for ListView to my LinearLayout?
I have a rooted samsung captivate with sideloading enabled. After experimenting with different wifi tethering apps from the unofficial market, I began experiencing difficulties with my wifi connection. Even after uninstalling every app that I thought was changing the wifi state, the problem still persists. I can turn on the wifi and it will act normally for about 30 seconds before turning off without user intervention. In dmesg, the error is as follows: 'mmc1: Got command interrupt 0x00060001 even though no command operation was in progress.' Is this caused by an app or is this a more complicated problem?
The only thing I found is to cross compile bash. Is there another way to have tab completion in the Android shell?
I have a rooted device, I type "su" in adb shell, then I try to traceroute. It says "traceroute: not found". I can't find traceroute in any bin folders.
I would like to be able to send an actual SMS message from a shell using just the command line and not relying on any apk to do so. I am interested in sending this message between phones, not from the emulator to the phone. For example, by running the command: service call phone 2 s16 "1234567890"
I can place a call from phone to phone using the command line. The 'service list' command shows an isms service, which I can't seem to provide the correct arguments for. I would assume that one of the args should be a PDU string but haven't had any luck so far.

The IAB's general manager, IAB Tech Lab, and senior vice president, technology and ad operations, Scott Cunningham, explains that the release of this primer in conjunction with the open-source adblocking detection script will "open the door for transparency and meaningful dialogue with visitors using adblockers".
"We believe that a combination of tools and the DEAL approach to communication with consumers will allow publishers big and small the chance to cut through the blockade, ensuring the strength of the open, ad-supported internet," Cunningham says.
It is unclear if Australia will roll-out a similar offering, with the top job at the IAB locally currently being vacant, after Alice Manners stepped down after three years in the role.
Adblocking is a massive problem for publishers globally, with numbers indicating that internet users using adblocking software has grown to 22% in the UK. With numbers showing that adblocking is costing the Australian ad industry $4 billion.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) in the US has revealed the techniques that publishers around the world can use to circumvent the problem of adblocking.
The industry body has called its solution D.E.A.L, which stands for: Detect adblocking, in order to initiate a conversation, explain the value exchange that advertising enables, ask for changed behaviour in order to maintain an equitable exchange and lift restrictions or limit access in response to consumer choice.
To help along this process, the IAB has also released an adblocking detection script available to all IAB and IAB tech lab members, providing them with the opportunity to see – and ultimately engage with – visitors to their sites who have adblockers turned on.

The Call of Sophia
with Dr Simon Wilson
Tuesday 21st February 2023
6.30-8.00pm (UK time) via Zoom
This presentation will look at Sophia, or Woman Wisdom, who calls to each of us personally, to desire her and devote ourselves to her. She was present in and at the moment of the creation of the cosmos: to respond with desire for her is to respond with desire for the world.
We will examine her appearance in the Old Testament and her re-appearance in the twentieth century, tracking some of the transformations which our relationship with her may demand of us. We will also ask whether she is essentially a female figure or, rather, the presence of liberating otherness in the world.
For those who cannot attend live, there will be a recording available after the session has taken place. Simply book a ticket via the button below, and the recording link will be sent with the joining instructions.
