Rumor: More Insight Into The Status of Future 'A Star Wars Story' Films
More details about what is going on with the future of the stand alone Star Wars films, known as the A Star Wars Story series, have been revealed by The Hollywood Reporter. Writing for THR, Borys Kit spoke with several insiders to provide updates on how the company is responding to the disappointing box office returns of Solo: A Star Wars Story and what it's planning going forward. Contrary to reports that all future A Star Wars Story films were on hold, one insider told Kit and THR, "They haven't slowed down development, but they are licking their wounds."
This lines up with a semi-official denial of the original report that was released by ABC News yesterday (both Lucasfilm and ABC are owned by Disney), which claimed that "there are still "multiple" Star Wars films currently in development that have not been officially announced."
Kit goes on to provide updates on two of the projects that are rumored to be in development, an Obi-Wan Kenobi film potentially directed by Stephen Daldry and a Boba Fett film that directed by James Mangold with a script by Mangold and Simon Kinberg. Both films were originally reported as being in development by Kit.
On the status of the Fett film, Mangold and Kinberg are still working on the script, though work won't begin on the film in earnest until after Mangold's next film, Ford V Ferrari, is complete. That film, which stars Matt Damon and Christian Bale, is slated for a 2019 release. However, there is also some concern from Lucasfilm about the success of a Fett film after Solo disappointment. Kit reports that,
"Sources say that after the underperformance of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the project could now be reconfigured. The thinking is that if Han Solo, one of the most iconic characters in the Star Wars universe, couldn't sustain a big-budget origin feature, then any Fett movie would have to be scaled down, since though the character is popular, he's certainly less well-known to most moviegoers than the Corellian smuggler."
As for Kenobi film, which was rumored to be in active pre-production at Pinewood Studios in London with filming slated to begin in 2019 for a December 2020 release, Kit reports that both Daldry's agent and the studio are not commenting on the status of the project. It's also been pointed out that Ewan McGregor has signed on to star in Doctor Sleep which is slated to begin filming later this year. However, if filming on a hypothetical Kenobi film is set to begin in Spring 2019, as was reported by Fantha Tracks, then it's likely that McGregor's commitment to Doctor Sleep would be complete by then.
As for when we can expect to see any of these projects, Kit reports that Lucasfilm is taking extra care to make sure they are picking the right projects in light of the negative press it has received in the past few months. As it stands right now, there is only one Star Wars film with a release date, JJ Abrams' Star Wars Episode IX which hits theaters on December 20th, 2019. Several other films have been announced, specifically a trilogy from The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson and a series from Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, though no release dates or story details have been announced.
It's been a bizarre week when it comes to reports of what's going on with the future A Star Wars Story films. It began when it was reported that Lucasfilm had put all the future stand alone projects (outside of the Johnson trilogy and the Benioff and Weiss series) on hold. Lucasfilm then denied this in a story from ABC. It was then reported by MakingStarWars.net that what caused the initial concern that the stand-alones had all been put on hold was the decision by Lucasfilm to shelve one project that was in active development, despite never having been announced or even rumored. This now canceled project would have been a film that focused on the Mos Eisley Spaceport.
Through it all, it sounds like Lucasfilm is going to be more strategic in how it picks its projects going forward. The studio released three massively successful films in three years, however it hit a snag in the last few months after Solo underperformed and The Last Jedi proved controversial in some corners. With eighteen months between films and no solid commitments when it comes to timeline after Episode IX, it appears the company is taking stock of what has worked and what hasn't and reevaluating its approach to the films it makes.
Hopefully this means less production issues (two of the four films required massive reshoots), better marketing for the films (much of Solo's under performance can be blamed on it's release date and ineffective marketing), and a commitment to making bold choices for the types of films it made (while Solo is a very enjoyable film, the idea of a Han Solo origin didn't inspire the same level of anticipation as the sequel films or even the story of how the Rebels stole the Death Star plans). It's also good to hear that they aren't over-reacting to one misstep, and are continuing to push Star Wars forward.
As always these are just rumors until confirmed or denied by Lucasfilm or Disney.

'Solo' may become a home video hit once people watch it. For better or worse, the actors have become so iconic in of themselves and associated with the characters that it was a huge leap of faith to recast that. McGregor got away with it because the age gap between reintroducing the character in the prequels was a big enough one (and he did such a good job) that it was believable. Fett on the other hand is iconic because of the costume, not the actor(s)
I need a Boba Fett movie :)

Coronavirus cuts 'deep scars' through meatpacking cities
FILE - This undated file photo shows Tyson Foods meats plant in Waterloo, Iowa. (Jeff Reinitz/The Courier via AP, File)
The coronavirus is devastating the nation's meatpacking communities — places like Waterloo and Sioux City in Iowa, Grand Island, Nebraska, and Worthington, Minnesota.
Posted: May 5, 2020 4:59 AM
Posted By: By RYAN J. FOLEY Associated Press
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — As the coronavirus spread from the nation's meatpacking plants to the broader communities where they are located, it burned through a modest duplex in Waterloo, Iowa.
In the downstairs unit lived Jim Orvis, 65, a beloved friend and uncle who worked in the laundry department at the Tyson Foods pork processing facility, the largest employer in Waterloo. Upstairs was Arthur Scott, a 51-year-old father who was getting his life back on track after a prison term for drugs. He worked 25 miles (40.23 kilometers) away at the Tyson dog treats factory in Independence, Iowa.
The two men were not well acquainted. But both fell ill and died last month within days of each other from COVID-19 — casualties of an outbreak linked to the Waterloo plant that spread across the city of 68,000 people. Similar spread is happening in other communities where the economy centers around raising hogs and cattle and processing their meat, including the hot spots of Grand Island, Nebraska, and Worthington, Minnesota.
The virus is "devastating everything," said duplex owner Jose Garcia, who received notification two days apart from his deceased tenants' relatives. "These two guys were here last week. Now they are gone. It's crazy."
He said it's possible one of the men infected the other because they shared an entryway, or that they each contracted the virus separately at their workplaces.
The virus threatens the communities' most vulnerable populations, including low-income workers and their extended families.
"They're afraid of catching the virus. They're afraid of spreading it to family members. Some of them are afraid of dying," said the Rev. Jim Callahan, of the Church of St. Mary of Worthington, a city of 13,000 that has attracted immigrants from across the globe to work at the JBS pork processing plant.
"One guy said to me, 'I risked my life coming here. I never thought something that I can't see could take me out.'"
In Grand Island, an outbreak linked to a JBS beef plant that is the city's largest employer spread rapidly across the rural central Nebraska region, killing more than three dozen people. Many of the dead were elderly residents of long-term care facilities who had relatives or friends employed at the plant.
In Waterloo, local officials blame Tyson for endangering not only its workers and their relatives but everyone else who leaves home to work or get groceries. They are furious with the state and federal governments for failing to intervene — and for pushing hard to reopen the plant days after public pressure helped shut it down.
"We were failed by people who put profit margins and greed before people, predominantly brown people, predominantly immigrants, predominantly people who live in lower socioeconomic quarters," said Jonathan Grieder, a high school social studies teacher who serves on Waterloo's city council. "This is going to be with us for so long. There are going to be very deep scars in our community."
Grieder cried as he recounted how one of his former students, 19, lost her father to the coronavirus and has been left to raise two younger siblings. Their mother died of cancer last September.
Black Hawk County Sheriff Tony Thompson said he first became concerned after touring the Tyson plant April 10 and witnessing inadequate social distancing and a lack of personal protective equipment. As hundreds of workers began getting sick or staying home out of fear, Thompson joined the mayor and scores of local officials in asking Tyson to close the plant temporarily on April 16.
But Tyson, with support from Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, waited until April 22 to announce that step after the outbreak intensified. The company warned of the significant economic consequences even a temporary shutdown would create.
The plant, which can process 19,500 hogs per day, is now poised to resume production after President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to require meatpackers to stay open.
Reynolds and Tyson have argued the plant with 2,800 workers is critical to the nation's pork supply and the regional farmers who sell millions of hogs to Tyson.
In three weeks, Black Hawk County's cases skyrocketed from 62 to 1,523 — more than 1% of its 132,000 residents. Deaths rose from zero to 15. Ninety percent of the cases are "attributed or related to the plant," the county's public health director said.
Tyson has not released the number of workers who tested positive but said that "workplace safety continues to be a top priority."
Thompson said the plant's outbreak decimated the community's "first line of defense" and allowed the virus to spread to nursing homes and the jail he oversees. "These are the places we did not want to fight the COVID-19 virus," he said.
The losses are quickly mounting.
A refugee from Bosnia died days after falling sick while working on the Tyson production line, leaving behind her heartbroken husband. The virus also took an intellectually disabled man who died at 73, years after escaping forced labor at an Iowa turkey plant and happily retiring to Waterloo.
Scott, who went by the nickname Dontae, was planning to reunite in June with two teenage children he had not seen in person since he was incarcerated on federal drug charges in 2011.
A former small-time heroin distributor who suffered from addiction, he and his wife divorced during his prison term, and she moved to Mississippi with the children. Since his 2018 release, friends said he was doing well and rebuilding relationships.
Scott told his daughter, Destiny Proctor, 18, that he suspected he became infected at the Tyson pet food factory, which has stayed open under federal guidance classifying the industry as critical infrastructure.
Proctor and her 15-year-old brother were looking forward to living with their dad this summer. Instead, their final talk was a video call from a hospital where he struggled to talk.
"It was so, so sad," said Proctor, who described her father as funny and caring and frequently sending her cards and gifts. "He told me he couldn't breathe."

Q: How to extend a Generic class and return a generic class in C# I have a generic class
public class PagedData<T> where T : class
{
        public IEnumerable<T> Data { get; set; }
        public int CurrentPage { get; set; }
        public int TotalRowCount { get; set; }
        public int RowsPerPage { get; set; }
        public int NumberOfPages { get; set; }
}

I am going to extend the above class as shown below
public static PagedData<T> PagedResult<T>(this List<T> list)
{
     //some logic and return result as type PagedData<T>
     return null;
}

But it shows one buld error like

The type 'T' must be a reference type in order to use it as parameter
  'T' in the generic type or method 'MyApplication.PagedData'

Please let me know one solution.
Thanks in advance

A: Since the class PagedData<T> has a constraint on the type parameter T, you have to explicitly replicate that constraint on your own method:
public static PagedData<T> PagedResult<T>(this List<T> list) where T : class
{
     //some logic and return result as type PagedData<T>
     return null;
}

If you don't do this, it would be "possible" to call PagedResult<int> but then it would be impossible for it to return a PagedData<int> -- which is why the compiler complains.

The Women in ICT Pathways Program has just been launched by ACS and TasTAFE.
This 24-month pilot program is supported by the Tasmanian Department of State Growth's Training and Work Pathways Program.
It supports 36 students with training, mentoring and work placement. The students will undertake a Certificate III in Information, Digital Media and Technology course and will be connected with a mentor and run through a professional development program. The program also aims to remove barriers to participation and strengthen the pathways between education and employment.
This pilot program is designed to promote life-long learning, strengthen linkages between the education and ICT sector, and develop an evidence base to inform the sustainable delivery of future programs.
The launch includes an event at the Royal Tasmanian Botanical Gardens aimed at raising awareness in the broader Tasmanian tech community of this unique opportunity for students and attracting tech employers to offer work placements and mentoring support to the students. RACT and Disruptive Co are key sponsors of the launch, with a focus on promoting employers of choice and encouraging mentoring of women in technology professions.
ACS Tasmania Chair, Professor Paulo de Souza said ACS is proud to partner with TasTAFE, the Tasmanian Government and the broader tech community in Tasmania.
"This Tasmanian program is a practical example of ACS's national vision for Australia to be a world leader in technology talent, that fosters innovation and creates new forms of value," he said.
ACS Australia's Digital Pulse 2018 highlights that a diverse workplace increases productivity and employee satisfaction, leading to increased economic growth. However, the tech workforce in Australia continues to see underrepresentation in key demographic segments. In particular, the participation of women in tech roles remains a significant issue. Women currently comprise only 28% of all tech professionals, compared to a 45% female representation across all professional industries.
"Bringing enthusiastic mentors to assist young women studying tech is a smart way to share experiences, provide guidance and increase awareness of the difficulties women face. As an outcome, we would expect a workforce growing in quality, talent and diversity," de Souza said.
"At TasTAFE, our priority is to meet the needs of industry and the wider economy and help Tasmanians gain the skills they need for a fulfilling career," said TasTAFE CEO Jenny Dodd.
"The Certificate III in Information, Digital Media and Technology has been specifically designed to suit a range of women from school leavers to mothers or carers looking to return to the workforce, or women looking for a career change.
ACS will be offering scholarships to assist with course fees. Travel and childcare subsidies may also be available, and this information will be provided when applying for the course.

Fired Police Officer Now Faces Charges After Video Shows Him Putting His Knee Into Black Woman's Neck
Alberto LuperonJun 26th, 2020, 5:52 pm
A fired police officer in Miami Gardens, Florida is now facing charges over the way he treated a woman in a January 14 encounter outside of a strip club, according to NBC News. Jordy Yanes Martel, 30, is charged with two counts of battery and four counts of official misconduct.
According to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Safiya Satchell, 33, was displeased with service at the establishment and left, but not before allegedly throwing a tip at a server. A manager asked an off-duty officer who was working as a guard to give Satchell a trespassing warning.
As seen on video, the dispute started with the officer telling Satchell to walk to his patrol car, but Satchell wanted to drive to the patrol car because she'd removed her shoes. Satchell told Martel, the officer, to pull her out of her car, so he did. The scene escalated with Martel twice shocking Satchell with a stun gun and putting his knee on her neck.
The FDLE claimed the defendant lied in his accounts on the arrest report, had no reason to arrest Stachell, didn't tell her why she was being apprehended, and went over the top in how he treated her.
"It is long overdue for civilian oversight of our cities' police departments to ensure our officers are not just serving but protecting our community," said Jonathan Jordan, an attorney for Satchell. "If you're an officer that has broken policy or acted under color of law with a belief that Black Lives don't Matter, you ought to be looking over your shoulder because the chickens have finally come home to roost."
Martel was fired over the incident. The South Florida Police Benevolent Association, a local union, argued that the current zeitgeist influenced the charges against Martel.
"We are concerned that the recent nationwide events surrounding law enforcement played into today's actions," they said.

All gifts and donations are greatly appreciated. Cubans seem to be short of just about everything. If you give them something they don't really need, they have the amazing ability to re-gift items or barter or find somebody who needs what you provided. The problem is that you are generally restricted to what you can take with you on your aircraft. If you bring a big box or suitcase full of donations, you will probably have to pay extra to the airline taking you to Miami. The charter airlines usually charge 1-2 dollars per pound over their 44-pound limit.
In the past I have traveled with groups who shipped large containers of medical supplies from the U.S. to Mexico, then onward to Cuba. That is much more difficult now, so your gifts and medical donations are restricted to what you can bring with you. It's nice to travel very light and appear to be an efficient world traveler, but consider using up all the space you have and push the weight limits by bringing extra items with you.
Medical donations—I suggest to bring at a minimum a one-quart ziplock bag with band-aids, bottles of Tylenol, etc. If you want to bring more, that would be great. You could probably fill up your bag for less than $10 at a dollar store. Everything is appreciated. You will eventually notice a health care paradox, where Cubans are proud of their universal health care system, but it is chronically short of supplies. (Some Cubans blame this situation on the U.S. embargo; others blame Cuba's economic system. Personally, I believe both these and other factors contribute to this sad situation.) If you need medical treatment as a visitor, the clinic or hospital you visit will likely have adequate supplies and personnel. Upper class members of society and foreigners (such as from Venezuela) receive some of the best care in the Caribbean. For the average Cuban, health care is very inconsistent. The family members of some of my friends have had to bring linens and food to the hospital where their loved ones were being treated.
Having medical donations will help those of us on our health-care tour gain access to clinics and hospitals. And even if you can only donate a small bag of band-aids to a clinic, you can honestly say that you brought medical donations to Cuba. This helps validate our health-care license and program.

The Albert EL Fresco – an outdoor venue that features games, entertainment space, seating, and more – is set to return to East Lansing on May 12. The venue has been on hiatus since August 2021 when the portion of Albert Street between M.A.C. Avenue and Abbot Road was reopened to traffic.
The project was widely popular, according to feedback the City received from the community last summer and surveys completed in fall 2021 that showed 98 percent of respondents enjoyed the EL Fresco.
But as ELi reported last August, the hiatus occurred for myriad reasons, including safety during the late-night hours following a shooting on July 31 and concerns that the influx of students as the fall semester began at Michigan State University would make maintaining public safety in the area even more difficult.
With the return of the Albert EL Fresco on the horizon, ELi had a phone interview with East Lansing Community and Economic Development Administrator Adam Cummins to discuss the origins of EL Fresco, its impact on the community, and the return this May.
Cummins told ELi that he spearheaded the EL Fresco project in 2021 based on experiences after the City introduced outdoor dining options in summer 2020. For the EL Fresco, Cummins collaborated with MSU Professor Louis Schiavone III, who named the EL Fresco, and his class Integrated Campaigns (ADV 486), which helped develop a marketing campaign for the inaugural year.
Though the project was popular and the venue was seen by many as a success, there were many lessons learned in the first year. Security concerns and strain on ELPD topped the list, and Council member George Brookover expressed concerns in October that local businesses adjacent to EL Fresco see greater amounts of foot traffic and parking, leaving behind businesses on Grand River and elsewhere.
When EL Fresco was first announced in spring 2021, several local businesses and residents expressed similar concerns about the City influencing the successes and setbacks of local businesses.
Comfort for those using the EL Fresco is also something Cummins would like to improve this year, telling ELi that there will be an increase in shade at the venue. Additionally, the City is contracting out for modular seating and tables that are nimble enough to be rearranged in the space but heavy enough to not be easily taken away. There will also be a City intern maintaining the space during the afternoons and coordination with ELPD about public safety in the area.
Cummins told ELi that much of the initial popularity of the venue stemmed from the variety of programming as well as the venue being a new public space for those to enjoy after being cooped up during the first year of the pandemic.
The venue is open throughout the day to passersby to enjoy the amenities, such as giant connect four and cornhole, which will return along with giant chess and other games.
Scheduled events, such as one-hour concerts featuring local musicians, will return as well in 2022. Morning yoga, which was featured once a week in 2021, will likely occur up to three days a week this summer. The City has also partnered with the East Lansing Public Library to feature the mobile library during the afternoons.
A full list of events can be found on the City's webpage.

Spacehab Reports Financial Results for Fiscal Year 2007
Filed under Commerce, Spacehab, US
SPACEHAB, Incorporated (NASDAQ: SPAB), a leading provider of commercial space services, today announced financial results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2007 ended June 30, 2007.
Fourth Quarter Results
SPACEHAB posted a fourth quarter fiscal 2007 net loss of $13.2 million, or $1.02 per share, on revenue of $12.8 million compared with a fourth quarter fiscal 2006 net income of $48,000, or $0.00 per share, on revenue of $14.6 million. Included in the fourth quarter's results was a non-cash charge of $14.2 million as the Company wrote down the book value of one of its two pressurized space shuttle modules, and other module related assets. The Company had previously written down the other module during fiscal year 2006. NASA has not designated use of the Company's modules, which have flown on 23 space shuttle missions since 1993, on any of the remaining space shuttle flights.
During the quarter, the Company announced the award of a $35 million indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for its Astrotech Space Operations subsidiary, supplying payload processing services for the U.S. Government at the Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California. "We were especially pleased when Astrotech was subsequently awarded the first mission contract to support the Ocean Surface Topography Mission under the IDIQ," said SPACEHAB President, Jim Royston. "We're currently awaiting a determination from our customer on the next two mission competes recently submitted under the $35 million contract award," he said.
Year End Results
SPACEHAB's net loss for fiscal 2007 was $16.3 million, or $1.26 per share, on revenue of $52.8 million compared to a net loss of $12.4 million, or $0.97 per share, on revenue of $50.7 million for the prior fiscal year. Year end results include a non-cash charge of $14.2 million as the Company wrote down the book value of one of its two pressurized space shuttle modules.
In April 2007, SPACEHAB announced that it had received notification from NASDAQ that the Company had until October 3, 2007 to regain compliance with NASDAQ's $1.00 per share minimum bid price requirement. Should SPACEHAB fail to remedy the bid price deficiency by the established deadline, NASDAQ is expected to notify the Company that its securities will be delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company will have the right to appeal such determination.
SPACEHAB's cash and restricted cash was approximately $16.0 million as of June 30, 2007. Included in the cash balance is $3.1 million for in-flight insurance on STS-118 that was paid in July 2007. Additionally, $6.3 million is restricted cash for a construction contract with a government customer to expand payload processing facilities at the Company's Vandenberg Air Force Base location. Current liabilities increased to $31.5 million at June 30, 2007 compared to $17.9 million at June 30, 2006 due primarily to $10.3 million of the Company's bonds which mature in October 2007. As of year end, SPACEHAB carried a contract backlog of $26.8 million, $3.3 million of which represents remaining revenue on STS-118.
Update of Ongoing Operations
Throughout the fourth quarter, SPACEHAB continued final preparations for the Company's twenty-third mission in support of the Space Shuttle Program, culminating in the successful STS-118 International Space Station (ISS) assembly and resupply mission launched on August 8, 2007. SPACEHAB's External Stowage Platform 3 (ESP3), a spare parts facility now permanently attached to the station, and Logistics Single Module took up nearly two-thirds of Endeavour's cargo bay during this, the Company's last scheduled space shuttle mission. The SPACEHAB team is currently supporting deintegration activities for its payload customers.
In addition to the new contracts at VAFB, Astrotech commenced major construction upgrades at that location, in support of the U.S. Government, to furnish 5-meter fairing accommodations by September 2009. Affecting Astrotech's Long Beach operation, Sea Launch experienced an explosion in January 2007 during spacecraft liftoff resulting in the loss of a satellite and damage to the floating launch platform, stalling satellite processing operations for the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2007. A full inspection, evaluation, and repair of the damage ensued and preliminary reports indicate that Sea Launch will return to flight in October 2007.
Continued exceptional customer evaluations on SPACEHAB's Government Services' Program Integration and Control (PI&C) contract led to additional configuration and data management work for the Company, in support of NASA's Constellation Program, during fiscal year 2007. Looking to expand this support capability to both NASA's Constellation and Orion programs on a long-term basis, SPACEHAB is responding to two NASA solicitations, the Orion Project Integration Contract and Constellation Program Support Contract, subsequent to quarter end.
Also subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced the commencement of an Exchange Offer for any and all of its outstanding 8% Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2007 (the "Junior Notes") and any and all of its outstanding 5.5% Senior Convertible Notes due 2010 (the "Senior Notes") for disclosed shares of preferred and common stock. The Exchange Offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 1, 2007, unless the Exchange Offer is extended or terminated.

Meath and Kildare - where have we come from? In 1976, the Dioceses of Meath and Kildare were united (Kildare Diocese having for the previous century and a quarter been united with the neighbouring Dioceses of Dublin and Glendalough), but Meath and Kildare each have impressive histories stretching back to the early centuries of Christianity. Made up a number of the oldest dioceses in the early Irish Church including Kells, Clonard and Duleek, the Diocese of Meath was one of the Cuig Cuige in ancient Ireland and was a province in its own right. The Boyne valley in the centre of Meath Diocese features centrally in the mission of St Patrick to Ireland. (Newgrange, one of the most significant pre-Christian religious sites in Europe, is part of the tourist trail to this day.)
Clonmacnoise was one of the monastic centres of the country, set at the place where the ancient east-west road across the country met the River Shannon running south. It remains very much part of the spiritual life of the Dioceses. Kells in the Diocese of Meath has given its name to the greatest illuminated manuscript of the Irish Church - the Book of Kells. Kildare was the setting of the ministry of St Brigid. Indeed Kildare was one of the few places where, in the early centuries of the Christian faith in Ireland, the bishop was under the firm jurisdiction of a woman! Kildare has also a fine Cathedral - St Brigid's Cathedral, mediaeval in origin and fully restored in the late nineteenth century with a further major restoration at the end of the twentieth century. Proud as we rightly are of our past, the Christian Gospel is also about the present and what Jesus Christ wills for us today..

Correct caster & camber in your lowered 11-14 Mustang with Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates.
Lowering your 11-14 Mustang will cause the top of the front tires to "lean in" towards the center of the car, resulting in rapid and/or uneven tire wear. This excessive negative camber can be easily corrected with the Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber Plates. Even a Mustang lowered as much as 2.5 inches can still be aligned to factory specifications.
- Bolts on! No drilling or cutting required.
- 1.6-degree continuous range of camber adjustment provides alignment correction on lowered cars, and is adjustable without affecting caster.
- 0.7-degree continuous range of caster adjustment provides correction for OEM production tolerances.
- Caster and camber are easily adjusted at the top of the strut tower.
- The range of suspension travel can be shifted, allowing for additional bump travel on lowered cars.
- Teflon® lined spherical bearing eliminates deflection and precisely locates the strut shaft, while still allowing the required articulation. Because these Caster/Camber plates eliminate the factory strut bushing, noise, vibration, & harshness will be increased.
- High-tech composite thrust bearing transfers the spring load into the strut tower.
- All parts are either plated or powder coated for great looks and long lasting protection.

Sustainable Development at UIC
5-18001E
Making railways greener, quieter and more energy efficient
Achieving sustainable development is one of the main global challenges. Transport, both of people and goods, has major environmental impacts such as emissions of pollutants and noise or land use. UIC and its members must demonstrate how rail can be part of the solution for many of the challenges the world is facing.
In recent years, civil society, citizens and decision makers have become much more aware of rail transport's role as a key factor in achieving sustainable development and reducing the effects of climate change. UIC has built constructive links of cooperation between the relevant actors worldwide and continues to advocate the benefi ts of a strong railway system for sustainable development.
While the shift to more sustainable transport modes is important, railway companies must also strive to improve their own sustainability performance (in terms of environmental, social and economic impacts).
UIC offers its members its expertise on sustainability issues and its experience working in close cooperation with high-level stakeholders, as for example in the UN framework or with other important and worldwide organizations.
Together with its members, UIC continues its eff orts to daily promote the benefi ts of rail in order to meet the global challenges of mobility and sustainable development and to communicate the sustainable development advantages of the railway sector.

Druhá bitva u Artois byla střetnutím francouzské a britské armády s německým vojskem, které se uskutečnilo v rámci bojů první světové války na západní frontě od 9. května do 18. června 1915. Jarní ofenzíva v Artois byla Dohodou zahájena v průběhu pokračujícího německého náporu u Yper ve snaze prolomit v oblasti ustálenou frontovou linii. Dílčí dobyté územní zisky zaplatila Dohoda obrovskými ztrátami a rozhodující průlom na západě bitva nepřinesla.

Bitva

Po šestidenním bombardování zaútočila francouzská 10. armáda 9. května na německé pozice ve výběžku fronty mezi Arrasem (bitva u Arrasu 1915) a Lens. Podařilo se jí probít do vesnic Vimy a Givenchy-en-Gohelle. Postup zaplacený obrovskými ztrátami, mj. na straně české a polské dobrovolnické jednotky, však záhy ustrnul a Němci v protiútocích dobyli strategický hřeben Vimy zpět.

Britové útočící severněji u Neuve-Chapelle dokázali Němce zatlačit u obce Festubert, avšak ani oni nedokázali prolomit pevné obranné linie. Druhý velký útok na hřeben Vimy podnikli Francouzi 16. června. Německá 6. armáda pod velením prince Ruprechta byla připravená a i dílčí dobyté pozice Francouzi záhy ztratili, takže francouzské velení rozhodlo k 18. červnu ofenzívu zastavit. Boje v Artois se znovu rozhořely na podzim, kdy nový britsko-francouzský útok zahájil třetí bitvu u Artois.

Q: When is it ok to pass integer to function needing unsigned vice versa I can't find a link now but passing int to function which needs unsigned type should be ok as long as the int is positive right? (and falls in range of unsigned); I got a warning that's why I am asking
assuming no casts
vice versa should also be ok assuming unsigned integers value fits in int range?

A: Passing a signed integer to a function expecting an unsigned integer has well-defined behavior.  If the argument value is within the range of the parameter type, there's a trivial conversion; the value remains the same. If the argument value is outside that range, it will be converted, effectively by discarding the high-order bits.
This is ok if and only if that behavior is consistent with the way your application needs to behave.
Passing an unsigned integer to a function expecting a signed integer has well-defined behavior if the value is within the range of the parameter type.  If it isn't, then the implicit conversion will yield an implementation-defined result (or, in principle, it can raise an implementation-defined signal, but I don't know of any implementations that do that). Typically the result is equivalent to discarding the high-order bits, or interpreting the unsigned value as if it were a signed value (treating the high-order bit as a sign bit), but that's not guaranteed by the language. For unsigned-to-signed conversions, it's best to ensure that the value is within the range of the target type.
Very often (but not always) a conversion like this is an indication that the argument should have been of the same type as the parameter in the first place.
This all assumes that the function is properly declared with a prototype, so the compiler knows, when it sees the call, what type the function expects.  If there is no prototype, or if the function is variadic (like printf), then you need to be more careful.  There is no conversion, but you can rely on int and unsigned int being interchangeable for values within the range of both. (But it's not a great idea to depend on that; it's best to ensure that the argument you pass is of the expected type.)

A: This can be broken down into two different questions:

Will it work?

Yes, probably. All variable values are just sequences of bits, and you can, to some degree, play fast and loose with types and still get a correct result if you're careful.

Should I do it?

No, for several reasons:

*

*You shouldn't get in the habit of ignoring warnings. They are there for a reason: they let you know that results may not be what you expect. You should put as much effort into correctly resolving them as you would an error.

*Your code will be harder to understand to future readers. You should try to make your code as understandable and maintainable to future readers (including yourself) as possible.  Part of this is using the correct types. If you need to use a function that expects a certain type and you have to give it data of a different type for some reason, you should cast it to make your intentions clear.

*It is hard enough to understand and debug code. You're only making it harder on yourself when you make implicit assumptions in your code. Try to refactor it to use the types that are required for the operations you want to do. Your current assumption is that your value will always be positive, and always be within the range of a signed integer. If either of these conditions are violated (which you should assume is possible, since no code is perfect), then you will have unexpected behavior from your code. You should add some checks for these conditions before using the value where an unsigned int is expected, then explicitly cast it. This will make debugging easier by catching errors, and make your intentions clear to future readers.

A: That's right.  It's up to you to determine if your app is safe this way, and that's all the compiler is warning you about.  As long as the value stays in the range you expect, no surprises will happen.

A: Both directions are ok, as long as the current value of the source fits into the allowed range of the destination. Some tools or compilers (gcc: -Wconversion) still warn about this for a good reason: to get your attention.
If you are absolutely sure the value fits, just use a cast to suppress the warning. But add a comment to that line (or before it) why you use that cast actually. Some editors will highlight special keyword in comments (e.g. // NOTE:), so you will see there is something to be aware of.
Once the value does not fit, you exhibit undefined bahaviour, so be aware!.


I thought last month's information about Freecycle's Thursday lunches in Hackney and the embroidery with and Stitches in Time were great. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished tapestry, and wonder who will finish the bananas I started! We will pass on more information when we get it.
April is looking busy, with Easter closely followed by our regular meeting and the first of our cake stalls for the year. More details are below.
We have put together a list of the meetings and events we have planned for most of the rest of the year, and posted it on our website, click here. This is of course subject to change but I would highlight that May is our AGM and we will also be celebrating EEWI's 10th Birthday, we plan to mark it with a more bountiful than usual feast of locally produced food. We will also have a competition for the best preserved work of art or curio produced at a meeting. It would be lovely if some of our past members could join current members to reminisce over old times and new.
If anyone is interested in joining the committee please let us know. There is not too much work involved and it is always good to get new ideas.
18 April - Graham Barker, will be talking about walking around the East End. He is the director of Walk East, which offers guided and self-guided walks ranging the length and breadth of our area.
21 April - Coffee morning, from 10.30, at Kafe 1788, 4 Vesey Path, Poplar, London E14 6BT.
23 April - Museum of Childhood Cake stall, 11.30-4.30. Is our first fund raising event of the year and is often a good way of meeting potential new members and raising our profile. Help on the day and cakes are needed.
26 April - Tower Hamlets St. George's Day Tea dance, held at the Art Pavilion, Mile End Park, 2-4.30. We usually have 2-3 people helping to set-up, serve tea & coffee and tidy up at the end. There are also tickets available for Tower Hamlets residents.
