Q: anyone using IXCLRDataProcess, GetRuntimeNameByAddress and ICLRDataTarget to get managed symbol? the purpose is to get a mixed callstack. For managed symbol, I use IXCLRDATAProcess / GetRuntimeNameByAddress to resolve the corresponding managed callstack. I modify this project to get self-mixed callstack, it works on X86, but it failed on X64. after debugging, I find the issue is located in IXCLRDATAProcess. Our project is located in this.
this is my way to use IXCLRDATAProcess:
HANDLE processHandle = OpenProcess(PROCESS_ALL_ACCESS, FALSE, ProcessId);
void** iface;
BOOL isWow64 = FALSE;

if (processHandle == NULL)
    return NULL;

BOOLEAN result = IsWow64Process(processHandle, &isWow64);
DiagCLRDataTarget* dataTarget = new DiagCLRDataTarget(ProcessId, processHandle, isWow64, debugNative); //new DnCLRDataTarget;
ICLRDataTarget* target = static_cast<ICLRDataTarget*>(dataTarget);

HMODULE accessDll = LoadLibraryW(L"C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\mscordacwks.dll");
PFN_CLRDataCreateInstance entry = (PFN_CLRDataCreateInstance)GetProcAddress(accessDll, "CLRDataCreateInstance");

hr = entry(__uuidof(IXCLRDataProcess), target, (void**)&ifacePtr); // error
if (FAILED(hr)) {
    std::cout << "error: " << GetLastError() << std::endl; // where we get error: 203:230 (0xE6) The pipe state is invalid.
    *iface = ifacePtr;
}
m_clrDataProcess = static_cast<IXCLRDataProcess*>(iface);

then I use m_clrDataProcess to resolve the symbol, that is
    hr = m_clrDataProcess->GetRuntimeNameByAddress(clrAddr, 0, maxSize - 1, &nameLen, buffer, &displacement);

due to the m_clrDataProcess being null, we can't resolve symbol from the frame address. Does anyone use these API or does anyone have some advice?

Australian Government chief technology officer, John Sheridan.
The Federal Government has inked a four-year $24 million deal with Acquia to deploy and run its new govCMS platform.
An officially sanctioned distribution built on Drupal, govCMS will help government agencies across Australia decrease costs and increase their agility and ability to better engage citizens with government services.
Australian Government chief technology officer, John Sheridan, said the first site (Australia.gov.au, the "home page" for the Australian Government) to use the govCMS platform had just gone live on the Acquia Cloud.
He said the open source platform, hosted by Amazon Web Services, would halve the government's previous CMS expenditure.
"We are already realising savings," he said. "One of the challenges was a need to get a user experience focus."
He said the government wanted something which aligned with the government's open source policy.
"We wanted and extendable solution, we wanted something that had broad community support," he said.
"We wanted something with third party support and we wanted something with a modular design."
"The challenge is how do we go about moving from our proprietary past to this new arrangement."
The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority will be among the first external agencies to adopt govCMS; the full migration of the authority's site to govCMS is planned for early 2015.
Acquia beat nine other bidders to win the contract through an Australian Government request for proposal process.
The Department of Finance is working with Acquia to provide govCMS, an open cloud platform for the development and continuous delivery of its Drupal-based govCMS service.
Currently Acquia is working with the govCMS team to create common themes and templates that may be used by a variety of government departments, Agencies, official blogs, and policy microsites.
Together they're also developing a range of procurement options and pricing plans to provide greater value and flexibility to agencies that adopt govCMS.
The Government will also offer free Get Ready for govCMS training courses on Friday 14 November in Canberra, Sydney, and Melbourne.
The courses are part of Drupal Global Training Days, an initiative of the Drupal Association to introduce new and beginning users to Drupal.
According a to an Acqia company statement, the govCMS announcement reflected the government's commitments regarding the use of shared, cloud-based services.
"Agencies using govCMS will benefit from a standardised procurement model and achieve compliance for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)," the statement said.
"govCMS incorporates and extends the aGov Drupal distribution, which was developed specifically for Australian government organisations."
Acquia will help the government meet these requirements through its Acquia Platform, which brings together key capabilities for engagement and digital experience management.
The platform features Acquia's Digital Experience Cloud, which helps engineers create and manage applications faster.
The Digital Experience Cloud simplifies the management of a complex portfolio of sites for engineers and architects, helping them build, govern, and scale the continuous delivery of many experiences across an organisation while administering them from a single administrative dashboard.
It also allows government agencies to tap into the global Drupal community, connecting new applications, modules and technologies to their sites as they emerge.
Acquia director for Asia Pacific, Chris Harrop, said Acquia's Digital Experience Cloud was enabling the Australian government to go to market faster with a solution that delivered on the promise of eGovernment to agencies all across the Commonwealth.

Just because Valencia is known for it's paella, doesn't mean that anywhere you go in the city will guarantee you a good one. In fact, you can actually get a lot of bad paella in Valencia. If you don't know what you are looking for it's easy to fall into the tourist-trap restaurants; places which promise a picture perfect paella with the freshest of seafood, and in reality, it's probably cooked from frozen.
If you are going to Valencia, then you need to eat paella and you need to eat it right.
We've written this guide on where to find the best paella in Valencia, as well as what to expect in a traditional paella, our favourite paella to order and some things you need to know about how to eat the dish!
so, what's actually in a paella?
Golden, saffron infused rice with a crispy socarrat base, topped with succulent seafood. All served with an ice cold beer, to cool you down on a hot summers day.
Does that not sounds like the perfect paella?
Well, it might sound good but that's not what a traditional paella actually is. As we learned during our paella cooking class, traditional paella comes from the countryside and not the sea, which means traditional paella doesn't have any seafood in it. Instead, it has rabbit, chicken, snails (dependent on the season) and green beans.
However, nowadays seafood paella is served all over Spain and locals enjoy it too! You should definitely try the traditional paella as it is delicious but there's nothing wrong with enjoying a seafood one either. Just don't ever make the cardinal sin of ordering paella with chorizo in it! Spaniards, and particularly Valencian's, are very protective of their national dish and recently Jamie Oliver caused outrage by adding chorizo to a paella.
So whether you want to try a traditional paella filled with meat, or opt for a seafood version, both can be ordered in Valencia; you just need to know where to go to get the best one!
If your planning on eating paella in the centre of Valencia, well, don't.
We spoke to several locals and every single person advised us to get out of the city to whet our tastebuds on Valencia's best paella. We were told for the best paella in Valencia, then we had to head to the beach.
The most popular beach is La Malvarrosa; this place is brimming with paella restaurants all along the length of the sand. But this isn't where you want to go. Instead, head along to the next beach called Patacona. This stretch of sand is much quieter, and it's a well known secret amongst locals that the paella is even better here.
Casa Navarro - Casa Navarro is situated right on the beach, so not only do you get delicious paella but you also get a sea view. This place has been a paella restaurant since 1956, so they must be doing something right.
Casa Carmela - Casa Carmela is your second option, situated not quite as far along as Casa Navarro, this place isn't actually on the beach but instead is one street back. Although it doesn't have the sea view; it's a really nice restaurant, and if you book in advance you can sit outside in their lovely garden. Casa Carmela has been making paella since 1922! This place is absolutely packed with locals, especially on a Sunday which makes it difficult to get a seat if you don't phone ahead.
We had paella at Casa Carmela; there wasn't a table available but we sat at the bar and enjoyed our paella there and it was delicious! We loved watching the huge paella pans leave the kitchen, being carried over the heads of the waiting staff as they negotiated their way past all the tables. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere so even though we weren't by the beach, we would still recommend this place!
If you want to stay in the city of Valencia, then Casa Navarro and Casa Carmela are two of the best options for paella. However, if you want to taste the best paella you will ever taste in your life then you need to head to the town of El Palmar.
El Palmar is a little town only a 30 minute drive from Valencia, and was the birthplace of paella. Located in the heart of the Valencian countryside and surrounded by rice fields, it's not surprising paella was created here. Almost anywhere you go in El Palmar will offer you an incredible paella, however there is one place which we were told is better than all the rest.
L'aqueria del Brosquil is a family-ran, local restaurant located a little outside of El Palmar, in an even smaller village called Castellar. It's only a 5 minute drive from The City of Arts & Science so a taxi is probably the easiest way to there, although it is walkable as well.
This restaurant opened in 2008, and although not as old as some other paella eateries, it quickly became a popular place for locals to visit for traditional Valencian food. The restaurant is a converted farmhouse situated within an orange grove, the views are stunning and the paella is arguably the best you will ever taste. Another great thing about it is how affordable it is; they only charge €10 per plate of paella which is much cheaper than some of the overpriced places along the beach or in the city. It is difficult to get a table here at lunchtime so make sure to book ahead, and if your not confident in your Spanish then simply send them an email to reserve.
what's the best paella to order?
The best paella to order is completely subjective; it depends on you and what you like. There are over 3000 different varieties of rice used for paella, as well as lots of different protein and vegetable combinations so the choice is endless.
However, there are a couple of paellas we would recommend that everyone should try.
Firstly, the traditional paella of Valencia. As we mentioned earlier, this isn't a seafood paella but instead has rabbit, chicken, green beans, rosemary and sometimes snails. Until we went to Valencia, I had only ever tried seafood paella (I assumed this was the traditional one!) and I wasn't sure how I would find one without seafood in it. But I was pleasantly surprised, because of the way the paella is cooked with the meat, there is so much flavour in the rice.
If you are looking for a seafood paella, then our favourite one is Arroz de Senyoret, which translate as The Little Gentleman's Rice. Aside from being a cute name, this paella is served with all seafood already de-shelled. So, like a gentleman, you don't need to get your hands all dirty and if you are like me, end up with prawn shells all over you. Instead, it is all prepared for you so all you need to do it eat and enjoy!
There is a certain etiquette when it comes to eating a paella; if you are eating with a Spaniard then you need to follow the rules otherwise you run the risk of being banished from Spain (maybe a little dramatic, but they do take it seriously!).
When sharing paella, you can never turn the pan. Once the paella has been placed on the table; the portion of the paella in front of you is yours. Even if another part of the dish looks better, you cannot take from the other side of the pan, nor can you turn the pan around so the bit you want faces you. It's in the hands of the paella gods, and you need to eat whatever side you get.
However, you can trade. Despite not being allowed to take from another side the pan, you can bargain with your fellow paella eaters. If, for example, you want a prawn but you didn't get a prawn on your side, you can offer to trade something you have.
If you follow these rules then you will be a good paella companion and you will be invited out for more paella, however break these rules and you may not be allowed to eat paella with a local ever again!
Paella is a delicious dish and one that Spaniards are proud and protective of. What was once a humble dish created by farmworkers has become Spain's national treasure that is enjoyed by locals and visitors alike.
If you are visiting Valencia, then you must try a paella from this region and it may be the best one you ever taste.


When buying a house, a real estate agent influences the kind of the deal that a person gets. Accordingly, it is important to be careful when looking for a real estate agent. Real estate agents are now competing among themselves. Accordingly, it is common for such agents to advertise their business in various venues.
Yard signs are commonly used by real estate agents to advertise their work. It is also commonplace to find real estate agents advertising their business using online ads. A high number of real estate agents prefer using direct mail postcards as a means of marketing their services. When dealing with some real estate agents; a person should be cautious.
Irrespective of the promises they make, some of the real estate agents lack the capacity to fulfill their promises. Numerous tips are beneficial for those looking for a real estate agent. Talking with the latest clients can go a long way. The agents should be willing to provide the houses they have listed recently. The details of the houses sold before have to be provided to the potential client. Obtaining the contact information of recent clients should be a top priority. Calling the recent clients of the real estate agent is very important. Such clients will provide good insights relating to the houses that they purchased. Unless the former clients are fulfilled with the services offered, the real estate agent is not competent in his work.
An alternative agent should be sought when most of the former clients were disappointed with the services offered. The most helpful information will emanate from the past clients of the real estate agent. Being offered the asking prices in the relevant area is very important. To identify a good deal, the asking prices have to be provided. If the real estate agent is inflating the prices of the houses, the client should look for a different agent in the area. However, there are various things which might determine the prices of the houses. The place where the house is located has a major influence in the eventual prices.
The cost of the house will also be influenced by the salient features of the house. The cost of the house will be high if it is more sophisticated. Before choosing a real estate agent, the client has to make sure that he is licensed. In most states, there are boards which are tasked with disciplining the agents. A person should always take the initiative of avoiding a real estate agent who has offended many of his clients. The best way to unearth valuable information about a real estate agent is by looking it up in the internet.

Souvenirs from Nizhni Novgorod: "I don't pay bribes" buttons.
At our last business meeting, Moscow Friends talked about coming up with a brief page or leaflet for people who come to meeting for the first time.
This introductory handout isn't exactly the same thing as the "signs" I mentioned in that earlier blog post, but as we've been thinking about what to say about ourselves to newcomers, that post, and the helpful comments that followed, came back to me.
Moscow Friends have been around for over twenty years, meeting in a private apartment, the basement of a Russian Orthodox church, a school, the office of Friends House Moscow, and two rented meeting places. In most of those places, there was at least someone who had to let people in--visitors couldn't just enter directly and find a seat. However, the community center where we've been since January has no guard or attendant or doorbell (no doorbell--thank God!--people come anywhere from right on time to 55 minutes late); a visitor could just walk through the door and the first human beings they'd see would be the assembled meeting. Since we're an unprogrammed congregation, chances are they would see us simply sitting quietly, with no obvious leader and no obvious cues beyond welcoming faces, and perhaps hands motioning toward an empty chair.
Imagine you've never ever experience traditional Quaker "waiting worship" or any analogue anywhere, and your understanding of a Christian gathering, whether from experience or just vague impressions, includes at least some form of liturgy and up-front leadership. Let's assume that you're a bit shy about sharing your spiritual uncertainties, or for that matter, your social uncertainties, with a group of total strangers--especially silent strangers.
But you're probably not completely without information, probably gained from the same source that told you how to find us. So at least you know we don't bite. Once you're inside the door and have found the little blue plastic booties (бахилки) for you to put on over your street shoes, what should we communicate to you briefly that will give you the most hospitable path from the doorway to the seat?
So ... when the need arises, one or more of us will emerge from the silence and communicate directly with the questioning or troubled newcomer. We've talked about having a greeter, but our meetings are sometimes so small and attendance varies so dramatically from week to week that we've been reluctant to take that step...especially if a simple printed text might provide that needed bridge of communication.
The reincarnation incident reminded me of a story I heard from a member of Ottawa Meeting in Canada, concerning a time in that meeting's history when they gathered in a YMCA building. Apparently, an Alcoholics Anonymous group was meeting in a nearby room and found itself short of chairs. A couple of AA participants walked into the Friends meeting to borrow some chairs, and observed Friends sitting quietly with their heads down. One of the AA pair broke the silence to reassure the gathered Quakers: "There's nothing so bad that you can't talk about it."
By the time I joined Ottawa Friends, they had their own meetinghouse, with a literature table on the path to the meetingroom. On the table was a little leaflet with the perfect title, "Your first time in a Quaker meeting?" That leaflet, somewhat updated, has in fact been translated into Russian. I think its current English-language incarnation is here (in PDF form). So this leaflet (Russian version) gives us one text to draw on.
An old friend of mine, Virginia Schurman, wrote another text, "Welcome to Friends Meeting for Worship," that I love very much for its brevity and reverence. It's been published by the Tract Association of Friends and is available here.
Link to downloadable PDF version.
There have been several blogs covering the Conference; one of the most comprehensive reports I've found is here.
A Christian blogger who receives between 400 and 700 comments weekly writes "Ten Tips for Dealing with Online Criticism." Just in case you're in the same boat ... which I'm not!
Speaking of comments, Mona Eltahawy's Foreign Policy article on misogyny, "Why do they hate us?", has received (at the moment) 2,160 of them. Today I listened to her responding to comments by blogger Mona Kareem on a BBC Global News podcast (here, starting at 17:14; podcast is available for 30 days). The heart of the discussion is a crucial dilemma for evangelists and missiologists (although that's not the context of their exchange): when does prophetic truth trump cultural integrity, if ever, and how do we know?
Back in March, I linked to quaker oats live's "biking experiment." Now, here's her report. Teaser: "Partially, this experiment was just humbling. I don't tend to think that we drive that much, but keeping track for a month really made me aware of how much we just randomly decide, "Hey, let's go do such-and-such," of an evening or weekend, and we just go do it."
What does the Very Worst Missionary say about our dear Portland, Oregon?
One day last week, a friend called us to say "The sky's turned green!" We looked outside--she was right! Our instant reaction, having lived in the midwestern USA for many years, was to say "Get inside and down to the basement!" But it wasn't a tornado.
"Because we are the army." A May Day heartbreak.
Thanks so much for your blog. I look forward to reading it every week. Thanks, too, for including the text of the statement on peace and ecojustice. It's a wonderful document.
I've seen the Kabarak statement reprinted in a number of places. So many people took part in the global change conversations organized by FWCC over the past couple of years, I'm grateful that the conference could come up with a good distillation.

Data security in cloud computing: Data encryption controls
Implementing data encryption controls in a cloud environment can be quite challenging for organizations using those services. Ed Moyle discusses the first two steps to implementing data security in the cloud.
When it comes to data security in the cloud, two things are true: First, more and more sensitive information is going there, and second, traditional data protection controls like encryption of data at rest are unlikely to be applied once it's there.
As a proof point of that statement, consider the recent 2013 Global Trends in Cloud Encryption research report from Ponemon Institute published in April 2014. According to the survey, 53% of organizations have transferred sensitive or confidential data to the cloud. Yet only 39% of data in software as a service (SaaS) applications is encrypted, and that number lowers to 26% when it comes to platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) deployments.
It probably goes without saying that there are some good reasons why this is the case. First of all, data protection controls in a cloud context can be challenging to implement architecturally. Recall that in the cloud, the underlying portions of the stack below that which the customer uses are deliberately opaque; the customer (by design) cedes direct control over these layers to the cloud service provider (CSP) from a management standpoint. So, unless the CSP specifically provides data protection features (note that some do), a customer's ability to implement technical data protection controls without additional engineering might be constrained.
Secondly, from a process standpoint, these controls can be challenging to pull off. There might be legitimate reasons why a CSP requires access to enterprise data -- for example, to debug application functionality or in the case that they provide monitoring services to your company. This means that the logistics of who will hold the encryption keys, as well as whether, how and even if the CSP can get access to them for legitimate business purposes requires discussion, planning and well-thought-out procedures established in advance.
On the one hand, data protection controls have implementation challenges. On the other, they are still advantageous, or in some cases even required by regulatory mandates.
This leaves practitioners in a quandary. On the one hand, data protection controls have implementation challenges in the cloud. On the other, they are still advantageous, or in some cases even required by regulatory mandates: Such is the case for cardholder data in a PCI DSS context or PHI under HIPAA. The organization using the cloud service might wish to have safe harbor in the case of a breach, or maybe simply the organizational security policy requires them to implement these controls.
Solving this quandary means getting smart about approaching these controls. Not everyone will be in a position to implement cloud data encryption controls right away, but even so, taking a few steps now lets organizations analyze both the security benefits they'd get and where those benefits are most needed. It will also help companies understand the level of difficulty if and when they do implement, and, if done strategically, can actually make the implementation process that much easier when a business does decide to pull the trigger.
Laying the groundwork
The first of these steps is data classification and service inventorying. This sounds like "eat your vegetables" advice at some level, but the reason why it's important is the sheer volume of cloud services that even a modest-sized organization will have in play. Most organizations have dozens of cloud services in active use; in fact, if you include SaaS applications -- both sanctioned ones and consumer-oriented services employees may use with or without your say-so -- cloud services might number into the hundreds or even thousands.
Not all of those applications will process sensitive or confidential information, so not every one will require encryption of data. Distinguishing which applications are appropriate to apply encryption to from those where it is not is the crux of this first step. Essentially, the goal is to identify and record -- in as granular detail as possible -- where data an enterprise might want to encrypt resides in the cloud. For some situations (i.e., SaaS), "as granular as it gets" might be that the data is held at a certain CSP. For others (i.e., IaaS), it could be that you get down to the level of a certain virtual device or storage container. The point is, your organization should know which applications and environments process the data you care about, versus those which do not, and you should be able to construct a rough idea of where you'd need to apply controls.
If this sounds like a tall order, it can be. Start with a manageable subset and build on it. There are tools that assist in this regard. In a private cloud context or one where your business has a fairly extensive relationship with an IaaS provider, virtualization-aware tools (e.g., Catbird or TrendMicro's Deep Security platform) can assist in the inventorying of specific hypervisors to help determine what's running where. SaaS discovery tools exist as well, but in a pinch some service-level information can be gleaned from examining user traffic (e.g., logs, NetFlow, etc.) To automate the task of keeping track of specific systems and applications, free tools like SpiceWorks or OCS Inventory NG can provide an assist as well to record services and usage as they're identified. The point is, organizations need to establish which data is in which environments so that they can prioritize their efforts.
Evaluating specific usage
After data classification and service inventorying, the next step is where the "rubber meets the road." It's here where your organization must evaluate the specific usage, make the determination about whether it will encrypt, and decide how it will implement encryption.
Note that depending on the cloud computing model or service your organization is using, it may need to select different tools to effect this. For example, if you have a high-sensitivity SaaS application and you want to encrypt data within it, effecting this is very different from encrypting a database within a PaaS or encrypting volume storage in an IaaS.
With an IaaS use case, for example, since you have access to the underlying OS on virtual images within that environment, you might choose to implement a tool that operates at the file-system level. In fact, Microsoft and most Linux distributions natively support encrypted file systems that may be viable options. There are dozens of commercial products that support this as well. For a PaaS, your choices might be more limited; you may need support from the developers actively working in the PaaS to author code that leverages CSP APIs or that leverage specific APIs in the application environment they're working in. And, of course, in a SaaS context, since the entirety of the application stack is managed by the CSP, you may find yourself looking to reverse-proxying tools (e.g., CipherCloud) or a specific SaaS-integrated product (e.g., CloudLock) to accomplish that.
The point is, the tools vary. And these differences should be noted and planned around; if your organization needs to purchase multiple tools to do this, it will need to plan its budget accordingly. Using the inventory and data classification evaluation that you've already done can help prioritize which approach is most valuable and/or urgent.
The upshot of this all is that just because your organization can't encrypt data in the cloud right now -- or doesn't have the time/budget/staff to -- doesn't mean it's a "dead topic." By doing some of the preparation in advance, you can help prioritize future efforts, decide what purchases are most relevant for your business and help move the needle as cloud deployments only start to snowball further down the road.

Assuming that a classified data be protected by an encryption key of 256-bit entropy and the program to manage the system be protected by a manager's password such as P@$$WoRd1234, the chances may well be that the system will have been taken over by the criminals who broke the password rather than those who tried to attack the 256-bit encryption key. It could be emphasized that sufficiently strong passwords are the key for the safe deployment of cryptography.Using a strong password does help a lot even against the attack of cracking the stolen hashed passwords back to the original passwords. The problem is that few of us can firmly remember many such strong passwords. We cannot run as fast and far as horses however strongly urged we may be. We are not built like horses. At the root of the password headache is the cognitive phenomena called "interference of memory", by which we cannot firmly remember more than 5 text passwords on average. What worries us is not the password, but the textual password. The textual memory is only a small part of what we remember. We could think of making use of the larger part of our memory that is less subject to interference of memory. More attention could be paid to the efforts of expanding the password system to include images, particularly KNOWN images, as well as conventional texts..

For security reasons there is only one person who should know the encryption key and that the the owner of the data.
Anything else poses a security risk.

Pro-democracy singer Denise Ho livestreams concert after Hong Kong Art Centre backtracks on cancellation refund
"I don't know how to thank everyone – the only thing I can do, the only thing I know how to do… is to keep singing," she told the audience.
Hong Kong Cantopop star and pro-democracy activist Denise Ho braved the heat to perform her concert online on Sunday, after her live event was abruptly cancelled by the Hong Kong Arts Centre (HKAC) 11 days before it was set to take place.
Ho performed her set via livestream from a last minute location without any air-conditioning, StandNews reported. The singer expressed gratitude to the audience for their support despite the unexpected changes.

Following HKAC's cancellation, the singer was forced to refund all live concert tickets and launch a separate ticketing system for the online concert.
The venue had terminated the lease agreement on August 31, citing a contract clause allowing it to do so under "public order and safety" concerns. It did not clarify what the threat may be.
Reneged refund
The livestreamed gig went ahead after the venue reneged on its promise to refund the singer for the cancelled booking agreement last week.
At the time of the cancellation, the venue had written a letter to Ho's music company informing it of the decision to terminate the agreement, adding that it would refund the reservation fee of HK$127,800.
In a letter dated last Thursday, however, the venue changed its tone, accusing the singer of having breached the contract.

"Your allegation that we have breached the Agreement is strenuously denied. You have no basis to claim any loss and damage against us," the HKAC wrote. "In the circumstances, we accepted your breaches and exercised our right to terminate the Agreement on 31 August 2021."
The venue reneged on the refund after the singer accused it of cancelling her booking without providing evidence of any reason. Ho said she reserved her right to sue for any damages stemming from the cancellation.

The singer accused the venue of giving "contradictory" statements: "Does reason not have a place in Hong Kong anymore? Can signed contracts be cancelled at any time, without any legal liability?" she wrote on her Facebook page. "The Arts Centre has set a very bad precedent, it means an organisation can decide whether someone is guilty or innocent based on that person's name alone."
The abrupt cancellation and refund refusal comes amid rising censorship and an increasingly hostile work environment in the city for celebrities who are affiliated with the pro-democracy camp.

Have you ever noticed that things from Paris or inspired by Paris always have a way of being pretty fantastic and chic? Well, get ready for a large dose of fantastic and chic today, because one of my favorite wedding dress designers, Heidi Elnora, has been inspired by her recent travels to Paris, and her collection emanates sophisticated European style. You'll see that gorgeous plunging backs are one of the defining details of this collection, so I'm showing both sides of several of these amazing gowns, for an all-angles view of their loveliness.
I've featured a few Heidi Elnora dresses in the past, including this innovative video of all 11 options that her Coco Marie gown offers, and this Collection is yet another fantastic round of dresses.
In addition to being known for her clean lines and romantic details, Heidi Elnora is also know for naming her gowns after beloved family members, friends, and sometimes famous public figures. Imagine my delight, then, at seeing one of my favorite dresses in this collection — Clara Louise — shares its name with my great-grandmother. She was a fantastically stylish lady herself, who did the Grand Tour of Europe in her day, and if old pictures are any indication, she knew how to wear lovely dresses!
Please take your own "Grand Tour" of this fantastic collection and let me know in the comment which one is your favorite!
Thanks to Michael J. Moore Photography for these beautiful images.
Those wedding gowns are amazing – thank you for my dose of fantastic and chic today! 🙂 I loved them all!
Oh my gosh those sheer sleeves – amazing!

Being pulled over for a DUI can have life-altering consequences for an individual. If you are arrested for a DUI, you may have to spend the night in jail before your first appearance. You may have to explain the situation to your employer, and he or she may fire you as a result of a conviction. Before your case goes to trial, you still have time to fight for your legal rights with the help of a DUI attorney.
Right after you have been arrested for a DUI, it is important that you get in touch with a DUI lawyer as soon as possible. A lawyer may want to arrive at the jail house to interview the officers who arrested you. An attorney may want to try to interview other witnesses at the scene of your arrest. This information could be important persuasive evidence if your case goes to trial. A DUI lawyer will attempt to persuade a jury as to why you should not be convicted for a DUI or DWI charge. Get more details on how to effectively build your DUI Defense strategy.
A DUI lawyer is familiar with all stages of a trial. He or she will know when to object to the presentation of evidence in your case. If the prosecution attempts to offer evidence that has not been properly admitted by the judge, your lawyer may object to the presentation of the evidence. If you do not hire an attorney to represent your best interests, the prosecution may admit evidence without any objection. The consequence of this is that a jury could be persuaded as to the legitimacy of the evidence and find you guilty.
If you are not convicted for a DUI, you may be able to keep your job and remain a source of financial support for your family. Taking action fast after you have been charged with a DUI is essential. A DUI lawyer will fight for your legal rights at every stage of your trial. He or she may also be able to negotiate a plea deal with the prosecution.

I'm Dying Up Here: Cancelled; No Season Three for Showtime TV Series
by Trevor Kimball, September 30, 2018
The laughter has ended. Showtime has cancelled the I'm Dying Up Here TV show so there won't be a third season. The dramedy series ran for two seasons and 20 total episodes.
A Showtime comedy-drama, I'm Dying Up Here stars Melissa Leo, Ari Graynor, Michael Angarano, Clark Duke, Andrew Santino, Erik Griffin, RJ Cyler, Al Madrigal, and Jon Daly. The story centers on the regular performers at Goldie's comedy club, owned by Goldie Herschlag (Leo). She is as tough as it takes to be successful in this business, for the sake of her club and her comedians. While the first season focused on landing a big gig like Carson, season two explores what comes next.
The series launched in June 2017 and drew a tiny 0.03 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 167,000 viewers. The ratings perked up a bit over the course of the 10 episodes and the freshman year averaged a 0.04 rating with 143,000.
Despite the low ratings, I'm Dying Up Here was renewed for a second season and those episodes kicked off in May 2018. The demo was consistent with a 0.04 rating and viewership was up by 24%, averaging 178,000 viewers.
Though viewership improved, it was still very low and so, it's no surprise that Showtime opted to pull the plug. The cable channel remains in business with two of the show's executive producers, Jim Carrey and Michael Aguilar. They both executive produce Showtime's Kidding series, which also stars Carrey.
What do you think? Did you like the I'm Dying Up Here TV show? Are you sorry that there won't be a third season? Should this show have been cancelled?

I'm really disappointed. I just happened to try out the 1st episode and then binged the rest. I love the characters, love their progression, love the jokes, (could do without the F-word every other word), and I'm SO sad to see the stories end. Especially ending on a death! PLEASE bring it back for 1 more round!
Patricia Shipstead
Please please renew I'M DYING UP HERE for a 3rd season and beyond. I am so disappointed you are presently cancelling this very well written, bitingly hilarious series. I thought belly laughing was over for me until I stumbled upon this program.
Cmacattack
I just started watching this show and I've already binged the first season in two days because I absolutely love the show. I m just starting the second season and decided to look up if there would be more seasons and came across this unfortunate news. This is one of the best shows I have watched in years. I wish Showtime would reconsider its cancellation.
Camilla Arcand
I don't understand how such a well-loved series with still so much plot potential could end up being canceled. The actors were very talented!
Seems like they put a lot of effort into making this show, developing many characters that were very interesting. I was looking forward to season 3.
Wow!! I'm very disappointed 🙁
