Home / Artist / Iwrestledabearonce
Members: Courtney - vocals
Steven - guitar/programming
Mike - guitar/programming
Rickshaw - bass
Mikey - drums
Hometown: Shreveport, LA
When it came time to record their fourth full-length album and first for Artery Recordings, Hail Mary, Iwrestledabearonce all agreed on one thing.
So, what was the great unifier in this case for musicians Steven Bradley [guitar], Courtney LaPlante [vocals], Mike Stringer [guitar], Mikey Montgomery [drums], and Mike "Rickshaw" Martin [bass]?
"We wanted to write some straight-up heavy, crazy, gnarly music this time," declares Steven. "We basically decided to just shit on everything people might be expecting and do something 'weird' for us AKA take things in a darker direction and write some music that explores even more heavy/technical genres than in the past."
"On this album, we all had a clear goal to push ourselves both creatively and technically," LaPlante agrees. "My lyrics and performance had to mirror the music. I had to push passed my self-created boundaries, and as Steven so eloquently put it, 'Get gnarly.' The only pressure I felt was from myself. Since I joined the band, I've grown as a vocalist and lyricist, and now is my time to prove it."
With that mindset, the quintet retreated to Steven's studio in suburban Los Angeles to cut the 14 tracks comprising Hail Mary. 2013's Late for Nothing introduced Courtney behind the mic, boasted a guest spot from guitar god Steve Vai on "Carnage Asada," and scored acclaim from the likes of Ultimate Guitar, MetalSucks, Kerrang!, and Revolver. However, this new collective goal encouraged the members to truly gel on album number four.
"The last time we were writing, I had just joined the band, and I was a bit isolated at home for the beginning of the process," recalls Courtney. "I didn't hit my stride creatively until I got down to Los Angeles with the guys. This time, I was there for every single moment. I was engrossed in it. Together, we watched little ideas bloom into what Hail Mary is now."
Album opener "Gift of Death" begins with a dissonant hum before slipping into a bludgeoning polyrhythmic guitar-and-drum death march punctuated by Courtney's distinct growls. "The goal was to piece together a bunch of crazy tech metal ideas, but to not lose sight of keeping it memorable and somewhat organized," says Steven. "Also it's pretty damn evil, and it really sets the tone for the album."
Courtney goes deeper, explaining, "'Gift of Death' is told by a person who has been so sure their entire life that they are going to go to heaven—only to end up in hell. They realize that they have been cast aside. The gift is supposed to be a blessing, but this person realizes that they've been cheated."
Then, there's the eradicating and entrancing "Erase It All," which boasts a scorching cameo from Suicide Silence singer Eddie Hermida and also appropriately received its debut on Easter Sunday 2015. "It's emblematic of what we're doing on this record and having both Courtney and Eddie together at the end of the song is just inarguably br00talz."
"It's time to reject the notion that if you play by the rules, then you will be rewarded," sighs Courtney. "Erase that false mindset and move on to better things. It's about standing up for yourself and not drinking a drop of the poison disguised as medicine people shove in your face."
Elsewhere on the grossly epic "Doomed to Fail Pt.1" and "Doomed to Fail Pt. 2," the group employs traditional guitar solos, another evolution in the spirit of assembling their "most metal album," as Courtney calls it. Steven explains, "This album has the craziest guitar work of any of our albums so far, and it's due in part to Young Michael (Stringer) joining the band and being an absolute beast on guitar. 'Doomed to Fail Pt. 1' has legitimate guitar solos, which is totally different for us. Normally, we'd eschew that, but we're embracing it and even adding another dimension to the music. Then Pt. 2 kicks in and, as the only song on the album that doesn't feature predominately screaming, gives the album a breath of fresh air while dancing around the same melodies as the extremely heavy/technical Pt. 1."
Iwrestledabearonce's multi-dimensional sound has transfixed listeners since the release of their 2009 debut It's All Happening. Over the course of 2011's Ruining It For Everybody and Late For Nothing, the band amassed nearly 100 million cumulative YouTube views, while obliterating stages in 40+ countries and with bands from every genre imaginable. Everything laid the groundwork for Hail Mary as their most corrosive, catchy, and chaotic statement to date though.
Their duality ultimately shines through the title. "It's twofold," concludes Steven. "Courtney's lyrics contain a lot of religious themes this time around. We feel that blindly following religion or anyone else's doctrines and embracing close-mindedness is the culprit behind many of the world's worst tragedies, and we want to encourage people to question anything/everything that's force-fed to them. We purposefully took a step away from the bright neon themes of our past to do something darker with this album. There's also the football reference and us just saying, 'Fuck it! We've been quiet for a little while now, but let's just throw this straight out there and see what happens.' We aim to destroy everything this time around, and I hope everyone's on board with that."

U.S. Open: Venus Williams, Emma Raducanu, Naomi…
U.S. Open: Venus Williams, Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka make early exits
Williams, 42, is bounced in the first round for the second consecutive year, while defending champ Raducanu and two-time champ Osaka must look toward 2023; Rafael Nadal appears healthy in a four-set win

PUBLISHED: August 30, 2022 at 8:29 p.m. | UPDATED: August 31, 2022 at 4:01 p.m.
By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer
NEW YORK — The welcome and support for Venus Williams in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Tuesday afternoon were not the same as they were for her sister, Serena, a night earlier. Nor was the result.
Venus, who turned 42 in June, has not made any pronouncements about her future in tennis, unlike her younger sibling, and while she has been successful and influential, too – a seven-time Grand Slam champion; a Black woman in a predominantly white sport – the fanfare and attention are not the same.
Playing in front of thousands of empty blue seats in an arena quite silent at the start, although growing louder later, Venus bowed out in the first round of the U.S. Open for the second consecutive appearance, losing, 6-1, 7-6 (5), to Alison Van Uytvanck.
"She means so much to female tennis. Tennis, in general," Van Uytvanck said. "She's a legend."
This was the 23rd trip to Flushing Meadows for Venus, who made it to the final in 1997 as a teen then won the trophy in 2000 and 2001, and her record 91st time participating in a major tournament.
Venus had never lost in the opening round at the U.S. Open until 2020, then was absent last year.
Asked what keeps her motivated these days, she answered: "Three letters: W-I-N. That's it. Very simple."
At night, Emma Raducanu became only the third defending U.S. Open champion to lose in the first round, eliminated by Alizé Cornet, 6-3, 6-3. And yet another past champ bowed out in straight sets when Naomi Osaka, who won two of her four Grand Slam titles in New York, was eliminated by Australian Open runner-up Danielle Collins, 7-6 (5), 6-3, in a match that ended after midnight ET.
Osaka, a former world No. 1 who the U.S. Open in 2018 and 2020, and the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021, also lost in the first round of the French Open this year and has slid to 44th in the rankings. She had been 3-0 head-to-head against Collins, but this fun-to-watch, hard-hitting matchup went the other way.
"When you lose to somebody three times," said the 19th-seeded Collins, who took time off the tour starting in July for a training block after being hampered by a bad neck, "you have nothing to lose, so I tried to go for it and hope for the best."
Collins used her backhand to great effect, compiling 11 of her 23 winners that way.
"Felt like her plan was to immediately put me in defense, so she would have hit the ball no matter what type of ball I hit on her side of the court. I thought she did that pretty well," Osaka said. "I think that's kind of what she's known for – to be extremely aggressive."
Osaka said she needs to refocus herself.
"I'm the type of person that thinks a lot, to the point where I overthink. Sometimes when I play matches, I have to tell myself to stop thinking, just go more on instinct," said Osaka, who's been bothered by a bad back lately. "I feel like I just have to chill a little bit, because there's a lot of like random chaos in my head right now."
Last season, Osaka took two extended mental health breaks, including after her third-round exit in New York. This season, Osaka lost in the third round in Australia, the first round at the French Open, then sat out Wimbledon.
"Lately, I felt really restrained. I'm not really sure why," Osaka said. "I'm beginning to feel like I can't hit the shots that I know I can, like especially on my forehand."
Raducanu, who was 18 and ranked 150th when she won the title as a qualifier a year ago, was bothered by hand blisters – she took a medical timeout for treatment after the first set – and was outplayed by Cornet, a 32-year-old from France who also upset top-ranked Iga Swiatek at Wimbledon.
"Obviously really disappointing. Really sad to leave here. It's probably my favorite tournament. But also, I mean, in a way, (I'm) happy, because it's a clean slate," Raducanu said. "I'm going to drop down the rankings. (Will) climb my way back up."
She sounded somewhat relieved.
"I mean, in a way," said the British player, who is 15-19 since her triumph in New York, "the target will be off my back slightly."
Also playing under the lights was 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal, who returned to the U.S. Open for the first time since 2019 and beat 21-year-old Rinky Hijikata, 4-6, 6-2, 6-3, 6-3. Nadal did not show any serious lingering issues with the torn abdominal muscle that forced him out of Wimbledon in July.
Sluggish out of the gate, Nadal stormed back, much to the delight of the prime-time crowd. His win ended with Nadal outlasting Hijikata in a grueling game that featured five match points.
After the postmatch handshake, a visibly relieved and enthused Nadal let out some emotion with several fist pumps and waves to the crowd after improving to 16-0 in the first round at the U.S. Open.
"Very happy, it's been a long wait," Nadal said, after winning his first match in this tournament since 2019. "I felt that maybe I wouldn't be back here again … so, thank you everyone."
Nadal will meet Fabio Fognini on Thursday.
"It's about the process, to build off the positive things," Nadal said. "Today, a three-hour match against a tough opponent. I want to stay positive. I'm here to play my best every day."
Venus was off the tour in singles entirely from August 2021 until less than a month ago and is now 0-4 since her return. Her ranking – which 20 years ago was No. 1 – is 1,504th this week.
"It was definitely the longest time I have been away from tennis and been without a racket in my hand. So it was a completely new experience for me, getting a racket back in my hand and trying to acclimate as quick as possible to be ready for the U.S. Open, which was not easy," she said. "Definitely playing lots of great points, but in the end, it's just rust. There is nothing you can do about that except for, you know, not be rusty at some point."
It was Serena who announced to the world on Aug. 9 that she was getting ready to step away from her playing career, leaving unclear exactly when the end would be, although she hinted it could come at the U.S. Open. So her first-round match Monday fell into the category of a must-see happening, drawing a record crowd of more than 29,000 to the tournament grounds, including more than 23,000 in Ashe – and the atmosphere was uproarious and electric from start to finish of her 6-3, 6-3 victory over Danka Kovinic.
Now Serena, who won six of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles in New York, will move on to a matchup against No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit in Ashe on Wednesday night.
And then she and Venus will join forces in doubles on Thursday, teaming up for the first time anywhere since 2018 this week.
When a reporter wanted to know whether retirement has been on Venus' mind, she replied: "Right now, I'm just focused on the doubles."
So how did that reunion of a pairing that has earned 14 Grand Slam titles in that event come about?
"It was Serena's idea. She's the boss, so I do whatever she tells me to do," Venus said. "We have had some great wins. It would be nice to add some more."
Van Uytvanck now meets Clara Burel, who eliminated Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, 6-4, 6-4.
In other action on a humid and windy Day 2 at the hard-court tournament, women's winners included 2017 champion Sloane Stephens, No. 1 Iga Swiatek, No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka, No. 8 Jessica Pegula, No. 9 Garbiñe Muguruza, No. 13 Belinda Bencic – whose opponent, Andrea Petkovic, said she is retiring from pro tennis – and No. 22 Karolina Pliskova, the 2016 runner-up in New York.
Men who advanced included 2014 champion Marin Cilic, No. 3 Carlos Alcaraz, No. 7 Cam Norrie, No. 8 Hubert Hurkacz, No. 9 Andrey Rublev, No. 11 Jannik Sinner, No. 15 Marin Cilic, No. 17 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 28 Holger Rune, who meets John Isner next.
Rublev, who has twice reached the quarterfinals here, advanced by outlasting Laslo Djere, 7-6 (5), 6-3, 3-6, 4-6, 6-4, in a match that took 3 hours, 41 minutes.
Neither Williams attended the other's first-round singles match; Venus said she watched Serena on TV but was not there in person because of her own early start the next day.
Their mother, Oracene, and sister, Isha, were in the guest box each time. On Tuesday, they saw Venus struggle from the outset, particularly with her used-to-be-feared serve and groundstrokes that were not calibrated correctly. So many into the net. So many landing long.
After some of her 25 unforced errors, Venus would wince or fiddle with her racket strings or tug on the brim of her visor.
Ten of those miscues came on backhands, far outnumbering her two winners on that side.
There were a half-dozen double-faults, just three aces. She faced 12 break points and dropped four of her 10 service games.
Just 20 minutes in, there was a 4-0 lead for Van Uytvanck, a 28-year-old from Belgium who is ranked 43rd and came into the day with a 1-8 career mark at the U.S. Open.
Venus did make a bit of a stand, breaking to open the second set and holding for 2-0. But that would be her only break of the match and soon enough, Van Uytvanck was putting away a volley winner to close out the win.
A night earlier, Serena was feted during a post-match ceremony that included a video tribute from Oprah Winfrey and a lengthy on-court interview. After this match, Venus simply slung her red equipment bag over her left shoulder, carried her racket in her right hand, and quickly walked off toward the locker room.
WIMBLEDON CHAMP BOUNCED
Reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina lost, 6-4, 6-4, to Clara Burel of France, who came through qualifying to earn a spot in the main draw.
Rybakina was seeded only 25th, with her victory in the most recent Grand Slam not boosting her in the rankings because no points were awarded at the tournament this year. The men's and women's tours took that step after the All England Club barred Russian and Belarussian players from competing because of the war against Ukraine.
Rybakina, who was born in Russia but represents Kazakhstan, said before this tournament she thought that was unfair, adding she didn't even feel like a Wimbledon champion.
PETKOVIC RETIRES
Andrea Petkovic shared a hug with her opponent, soaked up a warm ovation from the fans and then headed into retirement.
A little more than a week before her 35th birthday, Petkovic ended her career with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 loss to No. 13 seed Belinda Bencic.
The German won seven singles titles and reached as high as No. 9 in the rankings. She made her decision recently and teared up as she explained it afterward.
Petkovic said she still loves the game but "it's more the body that is not allowing me to play tennis anymore in a way that I want to play it, train the way I want to train, just play a full season really."

Akron/Family / Timber / Matias Sleep La Sala Rosa, Montreal QC - January 12, 2006
By Dimitri Nasrallah
Akron/Family are neither from Akron, nor are they related. Ever since they garnered an enthusiastic endorsement from ex-Swan/current Angel of Light Michael Gira, these transplanted Brooklynites have been pushing full steam ahead. Last year, they released two albums on Gira's Young God imprint, a well received full-length and a split album with the Angel-man himself. What's more, they currently make up Gira's backing band. The foursome has been alternately tagged as freak folkers and hippie rockers, an easy finger to point at any band full of scraggly beards. However, spend a couple of hours watching their live show and you'll find that these guys can't be pigeonholed that easily. First up was Matias Sleep, who play spaced-out lullabies, taking cues from the more contemplative side of Galaxie 500. The four members slumbered onto the stage dressed in pyjamas and things only got quieter from there. Next up were Montreal's own Timber, an alt-country quartet who won the sceptical audience over with some great songs, a natural stage presence and a whole lot of promise. The headliners were not about to lose that momentum. The band have a great knack for interacting with their audience. They kicked things off by blending their opening number in with Outkast's "Hey Ya," insisting that they wouldn't get going until everyone in attendance was already dancing. It worked. From thereon in, Akron genre-jumped from noise freak-outs to '70s AM-radio sloganeering to extended folk jams. Throughout, they never forgot their roles as entertainers and this factor elevated their performance from good to memorable.

State lawmakers to consider extending state of emergency in Michigan
(WXYZ) — Lawmakers will meet in Lansing Tuesday to discuss extending Michigan's state of emergency.
Some Republicans want the order to stay through April and then re-evaluate, whereas Democrats, along with Governor Whitmer, want the order in place through mid-June.
Some lawmakers, including the governor, are concerned with meeting in person at all during this health crisis.
"It's really just a one-day extension, and it really doesn't make a whole lot of sense to come in just to extend for one day. Now, if they're coming in, I hope that they will seriously look at going 70 days, because I would hate for them to have to come back at the height of the crisis we're confronting," Whitmer said.
Some lawmakers have said they won't attend the session out of concern for their safety.
"I would prefer that we don't go, but we have to because the speaker is calling session," Rep. Darrin Camilleri said.
House Speaker Lee Chatfield sent a memo to legislators detailing health protocols in place during the meeting, including a three-hour check-in and screening.
"I feel that all the safety measures we are putting into place and all that goes with that is actually probably a safer environment than going to your local grocery store," Rep. Jason Sheppard said.
Two lawmakers from Detroit, Reps. Karen Whitsett and Tyrone Carter, have already tested positive. State Rep. Isaac Robinson of Detroit died from suspected COVID-19.
"If we're going to extend something this long, if you're even going to consider 70 days, there has to be some checks and balances in that," Sheppard said.
The issue of power also comes into play here – extending the state of emergency also grants Gov. Whitmer greater executive authority during this crisis. There are also talks of passing a measure that would give state lawmakers the option to meet remotely moving forward.

Cool entrepreneurs in the history of the music industry. How did it all happen?
Darya December 31, 2022 December 31, 2022 0
Music has been following humanity since ancient times. Only in the last hundred years, music industry has made a significant push, transforming from a plain entertainment into a lucrative business. Today, musicians are not just hounded beggars, wandering from town to town, but are rather respected members of society, who are listed among the wealthiest people on the planet. How did it all happen? Storist have picked for you some magnificent and truly inspiring stories.
Legends of the music promotion
Perhaps, we would have never known the King of Pop Elvis Presley, and the Beatles would not have made it out of Liverpool clubs, if it was not for their genius managers. They often did not have a musical gift, but they possessed another quality that allowed their clients to become musical icons – business acumen.
Andreas Cornelis van Kuijk or Tom Parker
Even if this name does not speak for itself, you definitely know the one, who Parker made famous – Elvis Presley. The King of Pop would not have conquered as many hearts with his talent alone and without the genius of his manager. Parker showed wonders of music marketing by keeping up the level of people's excitement about Elvis, for example, when the singer was drafted into the US Army at the peak of his music career. With the courtesy of Parker, this move was presented as an act of a true patriot, which sparked another wave of nationwide love towards Presley.
When he met Elvis, he had already been a musical entrepreneur in the US for 15 years. Parker immediately realized that he encountered a pot of gold. This is why he bought out Elvis's contract from the Sun Records owner Sam Phillips for $40000, an unheard-of-sum at the time.
Interestingly, Tom Parker knew almost nothing about rock-n-roll – he did not need to. He had a knack for interacting with the press, which helped him in manipulating the crowds. As a result, in his first years of working with Elvis, he has already made a true idol out of him. Parker has signed Presley for RCA Victor, which made Elvis one of the most popular and commercially successful artists in the world. In the 60s, when the singer's career went into decline, it was Parker, who persuaded Elvis to start shooting musicals. They helped Presley to overcome the crisis and come back to touring in 1968. The tandem of Parker and Presley was broken up only by the singer's death in 1977.
He is the one to thank for the fact that the world has found out about The Beatles. He turned the four longhaired youngsters into The Four we know now. At the same time, it is hard to imagine Brian Epstein in the company of guys like John, Paul, George and Ringo. Born in the family of a successful businessman, being a fan of Sibelius, and studying in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he was from another world. Yet the occasion that brought them together, turned out to be fortunate.
Eventually Brian created the famous image of the group, taught them discipline and how to deliver their music. Using his reputation as an owner of "the best music store in Northern England", Brian has arranged the recording of the Beatles first album in the EMI studio.
After the group members decided to stop touring, Epstein stayed engaged in music marketing and music promotion. NEMS Enterprises, the company he had created, has been working with many famous musicians of that time. The firm took interest in realty, purchased the Saville Theatre and continued its expansion in the area of management.
Peter Grant
Former wrestler and a bouncer, who had left the school at the age of 13 to start working at the steel factory. Just a few weeks later, he became a courier for Reuters and then worked at the Croydon Empire Theatre until eventually becoming a music manager. Due to Peter Grant, the world was introduced to Led Zeppelin and it absolutely loved them.
During the 70s, the band essentially replaced the broken up Beatles on the world music arena. Grant was the one to credit for it. He was focused on making musicians release new records regularly and going on long tours. This strategy led to great results – the public got so much used to the music of Led Zeppelin that the other bands remained insignificant.
Grant was known to deal with promoters and agents in an aggressive manner, demanding the lowest costs possible. At the same time, Grant tried to provide the highest percentage of ticket profits for the band. He relentlessly fought against the illegal sales of the group's memorabilia at concerts and rounded up the stores selling Led Zeppelin bootlegs. In 1969 Peter Grant founded a publishing company, Superhype Music, and later a record label Swan Song Records. It enabled the musicians to control the distribution of their records more effectively.
Music as a business
The list of outstanding music promoters can be very long, given that there is a team behind every successful musician. Still, even today, the musicians are rarely seen as entrepreneurs. But if you look into it, they are just like startuppers – building their project, leading it, correcting the course and calculating risks. With the right approach, the music business won't be less profitable than any other business.
In his book "Doing Music Business" Nigerian songwriter, gospel singer and producer Ezekiel Onyedikachukwu ThankGod, better known as EeZee Tee, presented some tips on how to run a music business:
Greed and striving for independence will never benefit to your growth;
Envy and unsound competition won't help you in becoming more successful;
Participate in different events, be helpful;
Learn to appreciate other people, because even the smallest investment contributes to your development;
You will receive investments if you will match three major criteria: loyalty, reliability, competence.
Special business – special rules
Music is a special product, and ordinary methods might not work for its promotion. That is why all music entrepreneurs worldwide should look at The Experience Economy by B. Joseph Pine II and James H. Gilmore.
The authors are a certified instructor of unconventional thinking, the member of Creative Education Foundation and Creative Thinking Association of America and the professor of the UCLA Anderson School of Management and associate professor of IBM Advanced Business Institute. They believe that experience is the most promising type of an economic offer. Pine and Gilmore suggest turning down traditional relationships between a company and its clients. You need to become "the director of the experiences" instead. The clients will be your audience or guests. This concept fits the music industry very well. The book introduces the principles of preparing the experiences and theatrical methods to be used by anyone, who is going through music business internships.
One more book for aspiring musicians and their managers is "Purple Cow, New Edition: Transform Your Business by Being Remarkable". The author Seth Godin suggests adding to the five P's of the marketing (Product, Pricing, Promotion, Positioning, Publicity, Packaging, Pass-along and Permission) one more – a Purple Cow. It means something remarkable and unexpected, like a purple cow among the ordinary cattle. Seth analyzes customer's psychology and offers practical advice and unorthodox methods. Many of them can be applied in music marketing.
These and other books can be found at Storist. The service also offers a huge number of interactive courses, which will help you learn main business principles in a simple and easy to remember way.

Q: JNA: truncated double's from Pointers in Linux(in Windows all is OK) I use this solution to call the JNA method from .dll/.so library:
Creating C++ Structures via JNA
And in Windows, this code works perfect, but in Linux, I receive truncated double values, so from the Pointer data
in Windows, I receive this value:
40.7

from these bytes in Pointer:
[64, 68, 89, -103, -103, -103, -103, -102]

But in Linux I have this instead:
40.0
[64, 68, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]

.so/.dll was compiled from the same source and from the Python(by using "ctypes") I obtain correct values in Linux from the same .so
I already tried to write/read byte[] to/from Pointer - nothing happened - in Windows, all OK, but in the Linux, doubles are truncated.
This is C++ Structure and Method, which it returns inside of .dll/.so:
struct emxArray_real_T
{
  double *data;
  int *size;
  int allocatedSize;
  int numDimensions;
  boolean_T canFreeData;
};

emxArray_real_T *emxCreate_real_T(int rows, int cols)
{
  emxArray_real_T *emx;
  ***
  return emx;
}

And this code in Java:
@Structure.FieldOrder({"data", "size", "allocatedSize", "numDimensions", "canFreeData"})
public class emxArray_real_T extends Structure {

    public Pointer data;
    public Pointer size;
    public int allocatedSize = 1;
    public int numDimensions = 1;
    public boolean canFreeData = false;

    ***

    public double[] getData() {
        if (data == null) {
            return new double[0];
        }
        return data.getDoubleArray(0, allocatedSize);
    }

    public void setData(double[] data) {
        if (data.length != allocatedSize) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("Data must have a length of " + allocatedSize + " but was "
                    + data.length);
        }
        this.data.write(0, data, 0, data.length);
    }
    ***
}

UPD: Obtaining bytes from Pointer data:
public byte[] getDataByte() {
    final int times = Double.SIZE / Byte.SIZE;
    if (data == null) {
        return new byte[0];
    }
    return data.getByteArray(0, allocatedSize * times);
}

UPD2: I receive this error when I try to write the double like this -0.0000847 in the Pointer data in Linux(so it seems in Linux .so somehow use C type 'int' to the double representation):
Expected a value representable in the C type 'int'.  Found inf instead. Error in ballshaftpasses (line 61)
UPD3: double[] <-> byte[] conversions(trying to solve Linux issue):
Changes in getData() setData:
public double[] getData() {
    final int times = Double.SIZE / Byte.SIZE;
    if (data == null) {
        return new double[0];
    }
    return ByteDoubleConverterUtils.toDoubleArray(data.getByteArray(0, allocatedSize * times));
}

public void setData(double[] data) {
    final byte[] bytes = ByteDoubleConverterUtils.toByteArray(data);
    this.data.write(0, bytes, 0, bytes.length);
}

Utility class:
public class ByteDoubleConverterUtils {

    public static byte[] toByteArray(double[] doubleArray){
        int times = Double.SIZE / Byte.SIZE;
        byte[] bytes = new byte[doubleArray.length * times];
        for(int i=0;i<doubleArray.length;i++){
            final ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(bytes, i * times, times);
            byteBuffer.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
            byteBuffer.putDouble(doubleArray[i]);
        }
        return bytes;
    }

    public static double[] toDoubleArray(byte[] byteArray){
        int times = Double.SIZE / Byte.SIZE;
        double[] doubles = new double[byteArray.length / times];
        for(int i=0;i<doubles.length;i++){
            final ByteBuffer byteBuffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(byteArray, i * times, times);
            byteBuffer.order(ByteOrder.LITTLE_ENDIAN);
            doubles[i] = byteBuffer.getDouble();
        }
        return doubles;
    }
}

UPD4:
C++ Function Example
This is C++ function example to reproduce problems in Linux:
void emx_copy(const emxArray_real_T *in, emxArray_real_T *res)
{
    int i0;
    int loop_ub;
    i0 = res->size[0] * res->size[1];
    res->size[0] = in->size[0];

In light of recently published research that the number of regular e-cigarette smokers in the UK is now over two million, employers are advised to formulate their own policy in relation to the practice of "vaping" in the office. Roger Dennerly, head of litigation said, "e-cigarettes are not covered by the current legislation on smoking in the office and this creates a real dilemma for employers".
The anti-tobacco charity Ash (Action on Smoking and Health) has reported that the number of e-cigarette smokers is increasing rapidly and has gone from 700,000 to 2.1 million in the past two years. Furthermore, the research indicates that a third of users are ex-smokers and two thirds are existing smokers. As e-cigarettes are not covered by current rules, the majority of employers are taking a "wait and see" attitude rather than deal with it by making and communicating a policy to their staff.
The jury is out on the health implications of e cigarettes but concern has been expressed, for example, by Welsh Health Minister Mark Drakeford, that e cigarettes are re-normalising smoking (and, indeed, Wales is considering adding the banning of e cigarettes to their current smoking legislation). Health implications aside, allowing vaping in the office could reduce the time that may otherwise be spent having cigarette breaks and may aid staff health by reducing the smoking of tobacco but equally the vapour may cause irritation and annoyance to other members of staff.
Roger comments "Whilst the health benefits or consequences of electronic cigarettes remain uncertain, employers need to err on the side of caution. Where companies to do not create a standard policy then staff are likely to create their own informal policies with the associated risk of inconsistency and conflict".

Dutch King Willem-Alexander addressed the joint session of the Upper and Lower Houses of Parliament today and set out the main features of government policy for the coming parliamentary session.
The Netherlands is back among the leading economies of Europe. The Dutch economy will grow by 2.0% this year, and 2.4% next year. The deficit is continuing to decrease, and unemployment is falling. The recovery is broadly based; this year consumer spending is increasing, as well as exports and investments. In the 2016 Budget Memorandum, the government has ensured that as many people as possible can benefit from the recovery while continuing its reforms aimed at creating more jobs, sustainable growth and healthy public finances. Next year, the government has decided to reduce the tax burden on labour, make purchasing power more equitable, raise spending on healthcare and defence, and continue to implement the reforms already introduced.
On www.government.nl, you can read the summary of the Budget Memorandum, the press release and the key statistics and also the press release of the tax plan, and learn more about Prince's Day.
Want to read more about Prince's Day and the art of budgeting? You can find the official documents on www.rijksbegroting.nl and www.rijksfinancien.nl (in Dutch).
On Budget Day (Prince's Day), on the third Tuesday in September, the Dutch government announces its plans for the coming year. The King travels in the Golden Coach to the Hall of Knights in The Hague where he reads the Speech from the Throne. Later that day, the Minister of Finance presents the National Budget and the Budget Memorandum to the House of Representatives in the ceremonial briefcase.
King Willem-Alexander presides over the state opening of the Senate and the House of Representatives (the States General) on Budget Day.
This entails giving the Speech from the Throne in the Hall of Knights. The speech contains the government's main plans for the coming year.
On Budget Day, King Willem-Alexander travels in the Golden Coach from Noordeinde Palace to the Binnenhof via Lange Voorhout in The Hague.
Queen Wilhelmina was given the Golden Coach in 1890 by the people of Amsterdam. She used it for the first time on the occasion of her wedding in 1901. The Golden Coach has been used on Prince's Day since 1903. The Golden Coach was also used for the weddings of Princess Juliana and Prince Bernhard (1937), Princess Beatrix and Prince Claus (1966), Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima (2002) and the christening of Princess Beatrix in 1938.

Q: Does Ruby on Rails affect how a web page looks? Most of the time, whenever I hit a website that looks "bubbly" in nature, and all prettified in those pastel-like colors, I think to myself, "This was probably done with Rails." And, lo and behold, after some digging into the site's information pages I discover this is actually true. So, I pose the question, not knowing much about Rails but enough about Django to understand how the database stuff works:
Does RoR have any display-specific qualities that affect how a web page looks? Or do all RoR devs naturally use the same Adobe tools to make everything look so ubiquitous?

A: The theory is that RoR makes that backend stuff easier, so more time can, and apparently is, spent on the front end stuff.

A: Ruby on Rails is a server side technology, so it doesn't lend any specific quality to the user visible design.  That said, it is a "trendy" technology so people who are likely to write their back-end code with RoR are likely to choose a particular "Web 2.0" style for their views.

A: As a Ruby on Rails developer, I can tell you that most Ruby on Rails developers are passionate about their work and we pay a lot of attention to details when building websites as much backend as front end. Its not just a trend, its a way of thinking and working.

A: No, it hasn't any display-specific qualities.

A: Its all done with Mirrors. And CSS. :)
Rails is a very popular Web framework, it's just be coincidence that all the ones you've looked at have been rails apps.
What kind of sites have you been looking at to draw this hypothesis?

A: that's a funny question with a funny description :) ... bubbly!
As a madman, I develop with RoR, it's kind of rule in our area. We learn madness from the beginning, as a result of http://railsforzombies.org...
May wise men follow a wise path!

A: Short Answer: NO
However...
As a Rails developer I can say that due to the Agile nature of Rails and the speed in which you can develop web applications with Rails I do find myself having more time freed up on a project to spend polishing the user interface. I believe this may be a reason you often see more polished looking Rails sites.
So in my mind I believe your choice of framework can have a direct correlation to the end product that is produced!

A: Rails does add some stuff to the front end. Like to every html form, it will add a hidden input element authenticity_token.
You can also tell because rails URLs and form actions will never end with suffixes like .aspx or .php or .html or .jsp, and they won't usually append ?query=book&encoding=utf8 like you see on google. And they won't usually have superlong crufties like you see on amazon (eg http://www.amazon.com/Agile-Web-Development-Rails-Ruby/dp/1934356549/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297922135&sr=8-1). Instead Rails prefers simple routing URLs. If amazon were written in rails, you might instead expect amazon.com/books/Agile-Web-Development-Rails-Ruby
So there are ways to spot a Rails app. I expect other web frameworks, especially the ones that emulate rails, would duplicate some or all of these features, so this isn't a sure-fire method, but it helps.

One French service member dead, one American injured in Niger accident

(U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Kulani Lakanaria)
The U.S. military is investigating a deadly accident involving U.S. and French troops in Niger that left one French service member dead and an American injured, U.S. Africa Command said Tuesday.
The U.S. service member was in stable condition after the Saturday vehicle accident, which was unrelated to any combat operation, said Maj. Karl Wiest, an AFRICOM spokesman.
"American military personnel provided on-site medical care to the French service member before medically evacuating him to Agadez for additional care," Wiest said in a statement.
The New York Times, citing unnamed defense officials, reported the driver — a Green Beret — might have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident.
AFRICOM said the incident was under investigation and offered few details about the nature of the accident.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the family of the affected service member," Wiest said. "There is an ongoing investigation into this incident. We will release more details as appropriate."
The French service member died while undergoing treatment in Agadez, AFRICOM said. The American was evacuated to Europe for treatment, the command said.
The U.S. military operates at a base in Agadez, known as Niger Air Base 201. The site will eventually be a hub for operating drone flights, but work on the $100 million facility is not yet complete. The United States expects to be flying missions from the site in 2019, and there are several hundred U.S. personnel working at the facility.
During the past two years, the United States has quietly added troops in western Africa, and Niger has emerged as a main hub of operations. However, an ambush in October 2017 that left four U.S. soldiers dead, brought increased scrutiny to American military efforts in the region.
While the United States has been involved in counterterrorism missions in the area for years, the fact that U.S. special operations troops were in the line of fire in Niger took many officials in Washington by surprise.
In the aftermath, several troops were issued reprimands from military leadership for planning and oversight failures connected to the mission. Maj. Gen. Marcus Hicks, who leads U.S. Special Operations Command Africa, was the highest ranking officer to receive a reprimand.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon recently announced it will reduce the number of troops operating out of western Africa as the military shifts its focus to China and Russia.
Still, AFRICOM said its mission in Niger and partnership with local forces is important for countering extremism.
"A safe, stable, secure and prosperous Africa is an enduring United States interest," Wiest said. "The U.S. military provides training and security assistance to the Nigerien Armed Forces, including support for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance to facilitate their efforts to target violent extremist organizations in the region."

NDAA clears House with fourth-estate cuts intact
By Lauren C. Williams
The House passed the $717 billion defense spending bill for fiscal year 2019, along with controversial provisions that would cut the size and cost of the Defense Department's supporting agencies.
House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas), who championed a proposal to eliminate redundancy and reinvest funds to support warfighters, characterized the bill as taking "next steps to rebuilding our military and reforming the Pentagon, the next steps towards strengthening our country's national security" ahead of passage May 24.
The House passed the National Defense Authorization Act on a bipartisan 351-66 vote.
The vote comes days after the White House issued its stance on the bill, objecting to proposed elimination of certain agencies, including the Washington Headquarters Service and the Defense Information Systems Agency, and 25 percent cuts across the board.
The House-passed NDAA retains a provision to eliminate the Washington Headquarters Service -- the one agency left from Thornberry's original proposal to be axed, which performs administrative services, such as parking and facility management.
But the White House bucked, saying it "urges Congress to include the Washington Headquarters Services in the review of all the Defense Agencies and DOD Field Activities … instead of eliminating it."
DISA was initially proposed for elimination but was spared and is set to be reviewed with other fourth-estate back office agencies by the DOD's chief management officer. However, the White House still piped up to defend the agency's existence, saying that transferring its functions to other agencies would increase IT acquisition costs and compromise cybersecurity.
"The Administration objects to directing the Department to transfer all information technology contracting, acquisition, and senior leader communication services of the Defense Information Systems Agency to other DOD elements," the White House wrote. "This action would increase the cost of acquiring information technology, weaken the Department's ability to secure its cyber networks, and inhibit DISA's mission to provide seamless communication to warfighters and senior leaders."
The House bill's Senate counterpart passed committee on May 23, but it has yet to be voted on by the full chamber. The two bills will be reconciled in a conference committee ahead of a final vote later this year.

Care Packages on Autopilot
by Catherine Seraphin
Assistant Editor, Online Specialist, Carnegie Communications
Parents: your son or daughter is away at school. You know all too well that they run out of things . . . or everything, for that matter. There's no easy way to replenish them without tracking down what they need, packaging it up, and spending an arm and a leg on shipping costs. Until now. (Dramatic, right?)
Recently, I spoke with the co-founder and CEO of Co-ed Supply, an entrepreneurial company that hopes to save parents time and money when it comes to care packages. Founder Marissa Hu, a current M.B.A. student at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says wanted to start a business that filled a major gap for college students and their (very, very extensive) needs.
"When I was in college, getting a care package or any package was the most exciting thing ever," she says. "We decided that idea would be a great product to give to college students . . . parents always want them to have what they need to get through college."
How does Co-ed Supply work? It's a membership program, so you can sign up as a parent (though students can also sign up on their own), pick the gender of the package receiver (which doesn't change much except for, say, an item's color), and each month, your student will receive a care package with items in three categories: toiletries, healthy snacks, and miscellaneous. The "miscellaneous" category changes depending on the season or holiday, and in the past has included items like face paint for Halloween, hot chocolate for the winter months, and Hu's personal favorite, gloves that work with touch-screen devices. Membership costs $20 a month, which includes shipping.
Hu says the feedback has been extremely positive. One parent even e-mailed her saying that her son wanted to know how exactly Co-ed Supply managed to know exactly what he wanted and needed each month. She adds that there are subscribers on both coasts and everywhere in between. "It's really incredible to see people excited about it across the country," she adds.
Co-ed Supply is currently working with various brands to include their products in the box, making sure the packages include useful things that the students want and need.
"In the short term, we want to be able to customize boxes with different sizes and different versions of the boxes—that's a suggestion we've heard with customer feedback," Hu says, adding that bigger packages can be sent to places like fraternity or sorority houses. "In the long term, we want Co-ed Supply to be the go-to website for college students to get anything they need."
The best part about Co-ed Supply is the convenience, she says. "A lot of parents run around making care packages for their students—it's a huge hassle, and shipping is expensive. We put all of that on autopilot."
