"Rival Clubs" #2 M.V.D.S.A
Disc golf singles tournament
About this tournament
Rival Clubs #2. 2 rounds of 18 holes. Singles.THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS June 6, 2012 at 5:26am
Can the other clubs players get their achievements too. If you need emails to link players, let me know, I can help.
THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS June 4, 2012 at 2:34am
Good work Terry and the M.V.D.S.A. crew on hosting another exciting event. I hope to see players rivalry popping up on DGscene news with hot rounds, gold trophies and such. I had a great time, VIVA RIVAL CLUBS!
THE "BEAST" OF THE WOODS June 3, 2012 at 7:54am
I'm so excited about RIVAL CLUBS #2 that I can't sleep! It's 12:45am and I'm still on DGscene reading rivalry banter, LOVE IT! VIVA CCDG, VIVA RIVAL CLUBS and VIVA M.V.D.S.A. for stepping up and hosting a true RIVAL event.
Please try to keep up the use of the RIVAL CLUBS "Talk" too, the committee of TDs must still decide where to hold the 2012 RIVAL CLUBS FINALE and when. Neutral venue (no home course advantage) is the only requirement.
Terry Shuler June 3, 2012 at 7:11am
You guys are all on the list. Don't think will get 72+ to worry about it . I Wish we had 18 good permanent holes more than anybody. It's takes alot of time and money to do this ****. And the main point is 18 holes, which I thought was a requirement to host an event. The vast majority of MVDSA members insist on of my 18's over the standard 12 anyday. Nobody that plays good really wants to play the given 12 3 times do they? Till the morning guys.
AGRO JACKSON June 3, 2012 at 6:46am
Atta boi carl! I gotta say im super stoked! Wortman is ur groups park. Why would we play anything but wht were used to, and were used to exotic layouts from u badaces. I love dg and I love when we can have a battle at the home courses. everyone knows nothin feels better than a strong show at someone elses home course! Viva rivalries and viva mvdsa. Thanx for being involved guys. nohin but mad love 4 da mac! Btw ima still gonna beat u and shaun at ur house in front of ur friends and fam. CHAIN GANG OUT!
Carl Boje June 3, 2012 at 5:25am
Also I will say this... I used to hate Terrys temp courses. It felt like I never knew what to expect. But after living here for 6 years... I an so thankful for them... Wortman permanent 12 layout is terrible. I play it almost 4 times a week on my lunch break because I don't want to get my work clothes dirty. after looking at tomorrows layout I am stoked
Carl Boje June 3, 2012 at 5:19am
I understand what you are saying Scottish...at the same time...we were a young club who had no... I repeat absolutely no 18 hole courses to choose from... That is the primary goal and purpose of or club is to get a real course and who knows maybe next year that will be realized. At this time, we have 12 baskets at wortman... 12 at Daves... Newberg courses are 12 at Ewing and 9 at Hoover... Champoeg is 15... No matter what we do, there would be temp baskets... I Dave this same dilemma every winte ... more
- scottishrob - June 3, 2012 at 4:36am
Also, I'm not saying anything about terry's hard work. Having played his last three events he sets up some awesome courses and it sucks about not being able to use the school.
- scottishrob - June 3, 2012 at 4:13am
Well if you never play the normal layout, maybe pick another course. Daves, ewing young, herbert hover, champoeg. The point of a rivalry is to play where the other club plays all the time. Their HOME course. But hey, have fun. Also, not sure what the bull**** made up format is.
Shaun Kirk June 3, 2012 at 3:50am
Terry puts a ton of time and effort adding 6 baskets to make a 18 hole course and attempt to make wortman less boring and more fun, you would rather play the normal ****ty 12 holes 3 times? We never play the normal layout at wortman, this is a "club course", at least we are playing real disc golf and not some bull**** made up format right?
- scottishrob - June 3, 2012 at 2:34am
I love a good rivalry and was ready to play but on a club course....not a made up course. Bummer. Good luck ccdg!
Shaun Kirk June 2, 2012 at 4:20am

Carl Boje May 31, 2012 at 11:50pm
Sweet! I just got permission to compete Sunday... Course looks like a bunch of my favorite holes... Thanks Terry for posting this! I admit I was questioning what was going on, but I am the guilty party for not researching it or simply asking! Cannot wait, I will probably play Intermediate unless Adolf and Church move up... Besides my rating is 913... Cant wait.
Terry Shuler May 31, 2012 at 9:14pm
Trophy didn't go as planned but still looks great. Hope to keep it on my wall.

Bonus Stage – Indie Games Showcase
Bonus Stage is a new indie games showcase, part of the London Games Festival Fringe.
You may have been to the regular co-working that we run at Loading Bar, now we're showing off some of the games that the local devs have been working on. We've invited friends from around London, and some from a bit further, to bring you a great and diverse lineup of independently developed treats.
The full list of playable games is:
- Cosmic Express – by Cosmic Engineers
- Flight of Light – by Crystalline Green
- Goldrushers – by Tuba Puppet
- Induction – by Bryan Gale
- Legrand Legacy – by Semisoft Studio
- An Oath to the Stars – by Himeki Games
- Off Grid – by Semaeopus
- Rats – by Ben Luanto
- Thing In Itself – by Party for Introverts
- Truce & Trenches – by Rebel Observers
- The Wolf's Bite – by Three Little Devs
- Yucatan – by Hairy Heart Games
If you've got your own game and you'd like to get some feedback or show it to the public, there will be an 'open table'. Anyone can use this, just turn up with your laptop or tablet.
So, please come and support your local developers, bring your friends, and play some cool games.
Find out more at http://bonusstage.london
Hi all. We've been running co-working for almost 3 years now, mainly out of Loading Bar in Dalston. This has been on the meetup group for a while, but we're going to start keeping people updated on twitter through @LondonGameSpace as the venue sometimes has to change at the last minute for events being held in the bar, or if none of the keyholders can make it. You can also find more info on the co-working page.
BFF or Die Kickstarter
Shaz Yousaf, one of our favourite local game devs, who you may remember from previous games featured on this blog, is back. This time with a new project, BFF or Die, which has just launched on Kickstarter. It's described as "an award winning tactical-action-puzzler for up to 4 players". I've played it; it's a great game and lot's of fun with friends – the perfect sofa game. Check out the video below, particularly the player reactions at 2:38, which are priceless, and totally genuine.
Check out the kickstarter now, and give a fellow indie a helping hand.
Develop 2016 Parties & Events
A lot of the London crowd are now preparing to head down to sunny (you better be sunny, Brighton, or I'm gonna trample some seagulls) Brighton for the annual Develop conference. Here's a brief rundown of the events and parties that are happening outside the main event:
The Big Indie Pitch
PocketGamer are bringing their well travelled pitch-athon event to Brighton, on Tuesday evening. Indies can sign up here for a chance to pitch their mobile games to a roomful of developers, publishers and journalists. The winners get coverage on PocketGamer and "the mobile games media". Plus there is free drinks and food!
Games By The Sea
Wednesday evening welcomes back an annual party, with a line-up of trend-setting indie games. So you can play while you drink and drink while you play. Currently sold out, but there is another release of tickets on the 8th July. Gang Beasts, Arena Gods and Videoball will be in attendance, along with their friends (their friends are also video games).
If you like Biz, and you like Games, then you'll like Wednesday night's business card competition, the GamesIndustry.biz summer party. Your £35 ticket will buy you "liberal buckets of beer" and apparently, traditional midnight bacon sandwiches. You have to eat the sandwiches quickly though because of the well documented gremlin effect, which kicks in a 12:01.
Special Effect Raffle / Simon's Party
Thursday evening hosts another party – Simon's Birthday party (don't worry, I don't know Simon either). With a charity raffle, beers on the beach, and lots of fish and chips, it's a more relaxed event, suitable for winding down the week. You can donate £10 or more for a ticket, more if you want a chance to win an Occulus, a Develop 2017 pass, or a bunch of games.
Another party supporting the Special Effect charity, this time at seafront party-time house, Shoosh. This one is on Wednesday and the first 75 attendees get a free drink. Entry is free, but you should get a ticket here. There will be a raffle, arcade games, and "free swag" – the pervasive tautology of the modern games conference. Organised by recruitment company SkillSearch and lots-of-men-in-a-field simulation company, Creative Assembly.
Meet the Gaming Business Experts
The magic of internet comments has also alerted us to another event happening on Monday – not quite a party, but a chance to meet business people and talk about Brexit (and games too, I suppose). Check out the comments for more infos.
If you know about any other events, let me know in the comments.
Develop Pass Winners
Hey everyone! I've just conducted the raffle for the Develop pass winners and I will be emailing them shortly. The winners were:
- Istvan Dabronyi
- Arron Steed
And the mystery runner up prize goes to:
- Darren Daley
Thanks for taking part everyone, and I hope I'll see you all at Develop this year.
Develop 2016 Discount & Raffle
Hello friends! We're coming round to that time of the year when everyone heads down to Brighton, complains about how it could be sunnier, gets a bit drunk on the beach, and learns some cool things about video games! Develop Conference is here again and we have discounts for you, and a free pass giveaway for two lucky readers.
This year there are a bunch of great speakers, some cool workshops, the lovely expo, and of course, Hideo "Hide in a box" Kojima giving the keynote. You can use the code DEV16AF2 to get a 10% discount on tickets, and the lovely people at Tandem Events have also offered us 2 free 3-day passes to give away, worth over £500 each! To be in with a chance for a pass, leave a comment here on the post (don't forget to include your email), or come along to the pub night on the 2nd May at The Crown, or the 18th at The Bank.
If you want to buy a ticket, there are currently still super early bird prices, but they end tonight (27th April).
Developers with unpublished games can also apply to show their game in the Indie Showcase, submissions close on the 19th May. There's a lot of people wandering through here – developers, publishers, and the press – so it's a good chance to show off your game.
Pocket Gamer Connects 2016
You may well have heard of the rolling behemoth that is the PGC conference. If you're interested in mobile dev, or are making a game for mobile platforms the conference is a major networking, showcasing and learning opportunity. And it's right on your doorstep, here in London.
Pocket Gamer got in touch to offer a 25% discount to London Indies, you can get the discount by using this link. The conference runs from 18th – 19th January, so not long now. It promises to have a huge array of media in attendance, investors, other studios showing their games. They even have a talk on the Indiepocalypse, and how to survive it! Hopefully next year there's a talk on how to survive talks on how to survive the Indiepocolypse.
You might find the I Love Indies expo area particularly interesting, if you want to check out new upcoming games, or exhibit yourself. The Very Big Indie Pitch also looks like fun – giving small devs a chance to pitch the next big thing, with prizes worth up to £7,000 for the best ideas.
Games Factory Podcast
Hi everyone, long time no see. I've been listening to a treat of a podcast recently, The Games Factory Podcast.
It's all about the business of indie games development – covering marketing, coping with stress, how to impersonate Total Biscuit, and many more fruity advice nuggets. It features three prominent London developers Moo Yu (who produces the podcast), the inescapable Mike Bithell (what's your opinion on the Bithellator?) and Andrew Smith (very handsome on-screen).
It's actually really good, there are 8 episodes and they are now taking a break till the new year. You can catch up on youtube or itunes and they stream live on twitch too.
INTEL Buzz Workshop
INTEL are organising a day of talks, workshops, and a game showcase on the 8th December at Impact Hub in Westminister.
It sounds like an interesting event, with some good speakers, including our own Game Jam patriarch Gorm Lai, Intel gurus Leigh Davies and Costas Stylianou and ligbdx dev Tom Wojciechowski. If you want to show off your game you can submit it to their developer showcase, and otherwise you can turn up and (probably) get lots of very useful advice about cache misses, thread context switches and other technical sounding CPU stuff. I'm hoping for the announcement of some fancy new x86 instructions – like the rumoured MNCRFT – a single CPU instruction which creates and boots a Minecraft clone.
The event is free but if you plan to go you should register. All the details are on the INTEL Buzz Workshop site.
Voice Recording @ OMUK
OMUK, a longstanding voice recording studio in North London are opening their doors to indies next Wednesday. It's free to attend and they promise to give you a chance to meet voice actors, directors and producers, check out some of the latest facial mo-cap technology, and sit in on a recording session.
OMUK has done work for Telltale Games' Game of Thrones adaptation, which if you played it, has really industry leading voice acting and mo-cap work. It should be a really interesting night and a chance to learn more about an area that is often neglected or left out in indie games.
Register on Eventbrite, the free event is on the 10th June.

Shang Simla is a pre-made destination sub-world, added to The Sims 3 in The Sims 3: World Adventures, along with Champs Les Sims and Al Simhara.
Shang Simla is a peaceful community set near a mountainous area of China near the Great Wall. It was founded by a group of monks with an ethos of discipline and Martial Arts. It is full of colorful flora, such as Chinese elms and cherry trees, growing on deep green hills. The town is named after Shang Ri-La and it is based on a mountainous town in Shaanxi or Shanxi, most likely Xi'an, but features the Forbidden City in the middle, which is based off the real Forbidden City in Beijing. This sub-hood features activities and items that compliment Chinese culture and architecture. Shang Simla is the hub for training in the Martial Arts skill introduced in World Adventures. Sims can also explore landmark tombs and hidden tombs throughout this world, there are numerous adventures to be had. There are numerous pre-made families in Shang Simla, although they all unfortunately lack description texts. Description text on some objects introduced in World Adventures expand on the lore of Shang Simla, depicting characters such as painter Han Shin.A trip to Shang Simla costs §1300 for the first Sim and §1000 for each additional Sim, making it the cheapest vacation destination.
- Sims will bow to each other when greeting, instead of shaking hands.
- Sims who live here all have the inheritable Asian Culture hidden trait. This makes Sims eat with chopsticks.
- Players' Sims can compete in a Shang Simla exclusive Martial Arts competition, calling opponents similar to the ranked chess competition.
- Lots here make liberal use of the new pagoda roof style.
Exclusive ItemsEdit
- National dishes include Stir Fry and Egg Rolls, new recipes for the Cooking skill.
- Fireworks. Going to Map Mode after setting one off will enable the player to see the display.
- Bake Fortune Cookies with Fortune Factory Fortune Cookie Maker (§1,900) and read the fortune inside as a Sim eats it. Get moodlets if the fortune is good or bad.
- Martial Arts like the Sheng Hai Training Dummy and the Board Breaker.
- Tomb survival items like the Shower-in-a-Can and dried food.
- Cheap cameras for developing the Photography skill.
- Books that are exclusive to Shang Simla, including Martial Arts skill books.
Residential lotsEdit
- The Jade House (Hong family)
- The Orchid House (Shang Simla) (Hua family)
- The Pomegranate House (Kim family)
- The Green Fern House (Louie family)
- The Laurel House (Lu family)
- The Hydrangea House (MinShen household)
- The Bamboo House (Pei family)

- The Lilac House (Wang family)
- The Narcissus House (XioZhi household)
- The Peach Blossom House (Yao family)
- The Citron House (Yat Sen family)
- The Maple Tree House (Yuan family)
Community lotsEdit
- See also: Adventure/Shang Simla
Shang Simla contains a variety of tomb lots as well as tomb puzzles on non-tomb lots. This is only a listing of tomb lots, not puzzles or non-tomb lot tombs.
- The Dragon's Maw
- Dragon Springs
- Halls of the Lost Army
- Resolute Fist Retreat
- The Temple of Heaven
- The Terracotta Army
- Crane Master Martial Arts Park
- East, North, South, and West Towers
- Han's Barn

All Sims among these families have the hidden Asian Culture trait. NPCs generated in Shang Simla do not have this trait, instead they have the hidden trait connected to their job (e.g. Pizza Appreciator for Pizza Delivery), and other Sims such as Explorers have no hidden traits at all.
Deceased SimsEdit
- Chen Zuoyi (Drowning)
- Jing Hua (Starvation)
- Liu Shih (Old Age)
- Sun Wen (Fire)
- One of the pre-made families, the Kim family, is Korean.

dc.description | The contributors of this edited collection revisit one of the first academic projects to concepualise and study legal integration, the 'Integration through Law' project, started at the European University Institute, Florence, in 1978 and directed by Mauro Cappelletti, Monica Seccombe and Joseph H. H. Weiler. The 'Florence Integration Through Law' Series, edited by Mauro Cappelletti, Monica Seccombe and Joseph H. H. Weiler, was the result of this research project and contains a number of volumes published in the 1980s. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Over the last twenty years, processes of pluralization, differentiation and trans-nationalization in the European Union have arguably challenged the centrality of law to European integration. Yet these developments also present opportunities to investigate new understandings of law triggered by European integration. The contributors to this book revisit one of the first academic projects to conceptualise and study European legal integration - the early 'Integration through Law' School. On this basis, they consider continuities and discontinuities in the underlying social and political landscape which the law is to integrate (the 'object' of integration), the forms and capacities of the law itself (the 'agent' of integration), and the way these two dimensions reflect on each other. Displaying different normative concerns and varied theoretical starting points, all contributors maintain that 'integration through law' remains of enduring significance to the European integration process. The volume provides a valuable reference for scholars in the field of European integration studies and European legal and political theory. | en |

M&T sucks, the branch manager would not even speak to me when i had a question, he sits in the back doing shit all day. the women are nasty in Herkimer. they treat you like crap , i am getting out. there fees are crazy, its hard for most people these days due to the economy, you would think that they would be a little more understanding. I HAVE NEVER overdrawn my account and it happened a couple months ago, i have been with Herkimer County trust and thru there 10 different name changes and i asked for a little understanding, NOPE. cant do that, she sd, and the manager wouldnt speak to me, they ran my credit and low balled my score, i went to 3 other places/ online and my score was higher. they are money hungry nasty ass people. i hope it goes under with all their jobs!

Seriously?! Go to your own bank... |
Apr 7, 2013
I can do you one better, I am a customer and they tried to charge me $10 to cash a check! This was the rome branch, bunch of friggen idiots couldn't read the name on the check, acct and drivers lic was the same I guess. |
Sep 26, 2013
Raven, you are a tool. Why not just go take your business to another bank. you douche
Oct 14, 2013
All lies. Then, you woke up. |
Oct 15, 2013
I can't believe anyone would even begin to defend M & T and their policies. But what I REALLY can't believe is that anyone would bank there to begin with. My son had two graduation gift checks drawn on M & T, and since we were passing through Herkimer, we decided to go through the M & T drive-thru to cash them. Of course we were informed of the $10 fee per check to do that, since we don't bank there. They were M & T bank checks for Pete's sake!! Absolutely no risk to M & T to cash them! Most ridiculous bank policy ever. If they think that it's going to encourage people to open up an account there, I think it will have the opposite effect. Who would trust them not to come up with more ridiculous outrageous fees in the future!
Oct 15, 2013
What ticked me off is when they are managing your retirement investments you loose money or have little growth, yet THEIR stocks have grown significantly in past months. They definitely need investigating for their tactics. The best thing we can do is take our business eleswhere.
Oct 15, 2013
First, nearly all banks charge non-customers to cash their checks. Second, you clearly know absolutely nothing regarding the risk in cashing checks for non-customers. It's not that hard to figure out, biggest risk being fraud. Such as....that person stole the check, found the check, made the check....these, along with many other scenarios. If you were the account owner of the check, you'd appreciate it. You are clueless. |
Oct 15, 2013
Please go back and read what you wrote so you can fully appreciate how STUPID you sound. First of all, no banks around here charge a fee for cashing checks for non-customers if the checks are drawn on that bank.
There are these things called computers. They are these amazing things that allow the banks to make up-to-the-minute transactions... So when someone presents a check to be cashed, the teller can go immediately to the account to make sure that the funds are available... So no risk. As for the fraud... What would $10 do to prevent fraud?? Do you know what other banks do? They ask for the check casher's Driver's License!! OMG- what a concept!! Identify thd person to make sure they are, indeed, thd person the check was made out to! M&T's fee is ridiculous. You must be a good little minion who works for them, even though they'd drop you like a bad habit in a heartbeat if necessary. |

Because this appears to be a violation of the law I called 311 and entered the number into this incident report. The operator filed it as a violation of a Parks and Recreation regulation and said it will be inspected within 8 days. The operator stated that with her protocols she does not have access to the DSNY regulation refered to in the AYW article.

Delphi Clinic | C++Builder Gate | Training & Consultancy | Delphi Notes Weblog | Dr.Bob's Webshop |
This article shows a tool (HeadConv v4.20) and techniques that can will assist you and enable you to use DLLs written in foreign languages like C or C++, from within your Delphi applications.
I'm sure you must have experienced it at least once in the past few months. You've just started to work with Delphi, but wouldn't it be nice to re-use some of your old C/C++ code. Or wouldn't it be nice to use that new DLL or API that has just been released, unfortunately with a C header file. Well, we can use all this old C code, provided we put it in DLLs, and that also means we can use these foreign DLLs, provided we know what's in there. A C header file might not be much, but it's often all we have. And although you might not be able to translate it by hand, this article will show you ways to (attempt to) translate language C DLL header files to Delphi import units, thereby making it possible for your Delphi apps to call procedures and functions from this DLL!
Dynamic Link Libraries are - for Windows - the ultimate form of reusable code.
With a DLL, you can create a single library of procedures/functions or resources that can be used by an unlimited number of applications.
DLLs can be called by any Windows program (or DLL), provided you know how to ask for the right stuff inside the DLL - you need an import library or import unit to access the internals.
Delphi Import Units
Using a C DLL in Delphi is most often done by writing an import Unit.
All declarations of the exported routines as well as all types and constants used or returned by these routines go into the Interface part of the Unit, the Implementation part only consists of a list of external statements for the exported routines.
In fact all Delphi Units referring to the Windows API (such as WinProcs, LZExpand, ShellAPI) are examples of such import units.
First of all, what is a Delphi import unit, and how do we make one?
You simply put the import units name into your projects uses clause and the DLL functions are available as if they are defined in some other Unit of your project.
There are two types of import units: implicit (static) and explicit (dynamic).
It often seems that an implicit import unit is simpler to write by yourself.
However, the main advantage of dynamically loading DLLs is that your application can be loaded and run without those DLLs being present, provided that it can adapt to their absence.
For example, if you had implemented a 3D look in a DLL of your own and couldn't find it (loading it dynamically) then you could still run the app with the "flat" look.
If the DLL in question had been statically linked, Windows would have refused to run the app (claiming that your 3D.DLL could not be found), so the user would have been out of luck.
Another advantage of explicit import units is that the app will initially load faster because the dynamically loaded DLLs are loaded afterwards on an as needed basis.
Implicit Linking
Implicit linking happens when you Use an import unit for the DLL or declare a DLL function in your code with external 'DLLNAME'.
In this case the linker will place references to the DLL functions into the imported name table of the produced EXE file and the Windows loader will automatically load the DLLs (at which time their main block is executed) with the EXE file:
procedure Foo(X: Integer); external 'BAR' index 1;If during an implicit link (also called "static link") Windows cannot find the DLL, you will get a notification - most often a File Error MessageBox (one that does not indicate which file is missing, by the way - most helpful!). So you must be absolutely sure that the DLL will be available at all times when you want to use implicit import units.
Explicit Linking
Dynamically linking a DLL using an explicit import unit is the method VB uses and which you can also use, but "by hand".
You load the DLL when you need it with LoadLibrary, obtain function pointers to the exported functions you want to use with GetProcAddress and free the DLL again with FreeLibrary when you no longer need it:
var Hbar: Thandle; Foo: procedure (X: Integer); {$IFDEF WIN32} stdcall; {$ENDIF} begin Hbar := LoadLibrary('BAR.DLL'); if Hbar >= 32 then { success } begin Foo := GetProcAddress(HBar, 'FOO'); ... Foo(1); ... FreeLibrary(HBar); end else MessageDlg('Error: could not find BAR.DLL', mtError, [mbOk], 0) end.Note that when we are using an explicit link (also called "dynamic link"), we can detect whether or not the LoadLibrary failed, and whether or not the DLL is actually loaded. If the DLL is not loaded, the program can continue (and just disable the functions or options that needed the DLL in the first place). This is also one way to write components that need DLLs, so your Delphi Component Library or Package will still load if the DLL is not present.
C DLL header files
C does not have import units like Delphi, but an optional static import library (with accompanying header and definition file).
From the C DLL we can generate a static import .LIB file with IMPLIB, and the .DEF file with IMPDEF (these tools are part of any C/C++ developing environment).
It is the header file that is the most interesting part, since this defines which functions and which parameters are to be linked in.
Most C DLLs will therefore ship with the .DLL and .H files only (we can regenerate the rest).
To illustrate the task of header conversion, let's check out a sample C DLL header file, and do the conversion by hand.
As an example that everybody will have access to, I choose the WING.H header file from the 16-bit WING.DLL that Mircosoft provides to developers:
/*********************************************************************\ * * wing.h - WinG functions, types, and definitions * * Copyright (c) 1994 Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved. * \********************************************************************/ #ifndef _INC_WING #define _INC_WING #ifndef _INC_WINDOWS #includeWe can conceptually split the DLL in three parts: the first part contains a lot of compiler directives, the second part contains the actual function prototypes, and the third part contains some ending compiler directives (to keep the first part in balance). Let's not worry about the compiler directives for now, but let's focus on the most important part: the function prototypes in the second part of the header file./* Include windows.h if not already included */ #endif #ifdef __cplusplus extern "C" { /* Assume C declarations for C++ */ #endif #if defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) #define WINGAPI WINAPI #else #define WINGAPI WINAPI _loadds #endif /***** WingDC and WinGBitmap ****************************************/ HDC WINGAPI WinGCreateDC( void ); BOOL WINGAPI WinGRecommendDIBFormat( BITMAPINFO FAR *pFormat ); HBITMAP WINGAPI WinGCreateBitmap( HDC WinGDC, BITMAPINFO const FAR *pHeader, void FAR *FAR *ppBits ); void FAR *WINGAPI WinGGetDIBPointer( HBITMAP WinGBitmap, BITMAPINFO FAR *pHeader ); UINT WINGAPI WinGGetDIBColorTable( HDC WinGDC, UINT StartIndex, UINT NumberOfEntries, RGBQUAD FAR *pColors ); UINT WINGAPI WinGSetDIBColorTable( HDC WinGDC, UINT StartIndex, UINT NumberOfEntries, RGBQUAD const FAR *pColors ); /***** Halftoning ***************************************************/ HPALETTE WINGAPI WinGCreateHalftonePalette( void ); typedef enum WING_DITHER_TYPE { WING_DISPERSED_4x4, WING_DISPERSED_8x8, WING_CLUSTERED_4x4 } WING_DITHER_TYPE; HBRUSH WINGAPI WinGCreateHalftoneBrush( HDC Context, COLORREF crColor, WING_DITHER_TYPE DitherType ); /***** Blts *********************************************************/ BOOL WINGAPI WinGBitBlt( HDC hdcDest, int nXOriginDest, int nYOriginDest, int nWidthDest, int nHeightDest, HDC hdcSrc, int nXOriginSrc, int nYOriginSrc ); BOOL WINGAPI WinGStretchBlt( HDC hdcDest, int nXOriginDest, int nYOriginDest, int nWidthDest, int nHeightDest, HDC hdcSrc, int nXOriginSrc, int nYOriginSrc, int nWidthSrc, int nHeightSrc ); #ifdef __cplusplus } /* End of extern "C" */ #endif #endif // _INC_WING
Type Conversion
When converting C function prototypes to Pascal equivalent declarations, it's important to substitute the C function and argument types with the correct Pascal types.
I often use a Type Translation Table for this, like the following in table 1 (optional parts on the C-side are noted between square brackets):
C/C++ Type | ObjectPascal Type |

[signed] short [int] | SmallInt |

It's also nice to have access to the translation of the special WINDOWS.H types, which is already done by Borland, and can be found in WINTYPES.PAS (it's a rewarding experience to compare these two files with each other - you'll learn a lot about C and Pascal conversion issues).
Now that we've handled the standard built-in (and Windows) types, let's look at the C type definition of WING_DITHER_TYPE that is present in the WING.H file.
typedef enum WING_DITHER_TYPE { WING_DISPERSED_4x4, WING_DISPERSED_8x8, WING_CLUSTERED_4x4 } WING_DITHER_TYPE;This is a so -called enumerated type, and can be translated into an ObjectPascal enumerated type very easily:
type WING_DITHER_TYPE = (WING_DISPERSED_4x4, WING_DISPERSED_8x8, WING_CLUSTERED_4x4);While most C DLL header files contain only constant definitions (of the form #define XYZ value) and function prototypes, type definitions are also found, and are therefore important to be able to convert.
C Functions
Now that we've seen C to Pascal type conversion, we can start to convert a few of the functions that are defined in the C header file, like the WinGCreateDC function:
HDC WINGAPI WinGCreateDC( void );Clearly, it is a function and not a procedure, since it has a non-void return type. The function has no arguments, and hence the implicit ObjectPascal equivalent declaration is as follows:
function WinGCreateDC: HDC; {$IFDEF WIN32} stdcall; {$ENDIF} external 'WING' index 1001;The index number can be obtained from the .DEF file, by the way. If you do not have access to the .DEF file, and IMPDEF is not available to generate one from the .DLL, then you can just omit the index part. The function will still link implicitly, but will load somewhat slower (since the loader will have to search for it by name instead of by number).
var WinGCreateDC: function: HDC; {$IFDEF WIN32} stdcall; {$ENDIF}Where we have to make sure to do a GetProcAddress of WinGCreateDC after the LoadLibrary was successful (see also the earlier explicit linking example).
function WinGRecommendDIBFormat(pFormat: PBitmapInfo): Bool; {$IFDEF WIN32} stdcall; {$ENDIF} external 'WING' index 1002; function WinGCreateBitmap(WinGDC: HDC; Const pHeader: PBitmapInfo; ppBits: PPointer): HBITMAP; {$IFDEF WIN32} stdcall; {$ENDIF} external 'WING' index 1003; function WinGCreateHalftoneBrush(Context: HDC; crColor: TColorRef; DitherType: WING_DITHER_TYPE): HBRUSH; {$IFDEF WIN32} stdcall; {$ENDIF} external 'WING' index 1008;Please also note that these last three function conversions are for use in an implicit import unit, not an explicit one.
Compiler Directives
As I've said, compiler directives are the last and often most difficult task to convert.
It's often important to keep in mind what the target of the converted unit will be - win16 or win32 for example, so you can eliminate a lot of conversions will you're scanning compiler directives (you won't need to convert everything in the #ifdef WIN32 section if you are working on a 16-bit import unit only, of course.
Tool Support - HeadConv v4.20
So far, we have seen that part of the conversion process is easy, part of it is hard, and a lot of it is simple 'monkey' work, that is neither complex nor particularly rewarding to do.
In order to support myself in the monkey-work, I've written a little program to help me: HeadConv (latest version is v4.20).
Targeted at the serious Delphi developer, the HeadConv Expert will assist in the task of converting the C DLL header files to Delphi import units, thereby giving all Delphi users access to the huge world of third-party C DLLs.
The latest version of HeadConv v4.20 is available as command-line and Wizard edition:
As an example, the converted WING.H header file is used. The new file WING.PAS did only require two additional little changes in the source code (at two compiler directives) and instantly recompiled. Please note that with other (more complex) header files, some extra modifications might be necessary to get the same results.
HeadConv has full support for functions and procedures, argument and return types (it has a Type Translation Table of up to 128 custom type conversions - see figure 2) and generates implicit Delphi import units. The expert is integrated in the Delphi IDE, making the conversion very easy as the converted file is opened up in the IDE automatically. HeadConv is not targeted to do the conversion 100% on its own, rather it will assist in converting the C DLL header files!
Ever since the Delphi Jedi Project started, the use of HeadConv has been free for everyone! It will soon be made available as Open Source project (which also means all bug reports, comments and wishes for new features should be sent to that project, and no longer to me).

A Sad LossIt is with great sadness that we annouce the passing of Paul Steven Miller, lawyer, disability advocate, White House appointee, and LPA member. Paul was a leader for all people with disabilities, including people with dwarfism like himself. As part of Little People of America (LPA) and the larger, national disability community, he united those of us with physical and genetic differences and helped us all find our voice and redefine "normal" in our everyday lives. Mr. Miller demonstrated through his work, and by his life, that intellect, determination, and humor have the ability to supersede any disability. Mr. Miller was the 2002 recipient of the LPA Award for Promoting Awareness of Individuals with Dwarfism. He will be greatly missed. President Obama's Press Release.New York Times obituary.

David Lee Bradford
David Bradford of Albany, Oregon passed away Friday, February 13 from an undiagnosed respiratory condition. He died peacefully in his sleep, and there was no sign of trauma or distress.
David was born March 13, 1963 in Bremerton, Washington, the middle of three sons born to Don and Arlene Bradford. Over the course of his life, he and his family moved all over the country and even spent two years in Germany in the early 70s. He graduated from The Dalles High School in 1981, and then attended Oregon State University, earning a bachelor's degree in geology in 1986. He worked for several years as a computer programmer before returning to his first love, earth sciences, in 2005. He graduated in the fall of 2007 with a Masters in Geographic Information Systems from OSU. Up until the time of his passing, he was working for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife doing what he loved to do: GIS.
David was a lifelong member of Little People of America (LPA), and along with his brothers, was born with a condition called diastrophic dwarfism. His dwarfism didn't physically limit him however, as he earned a high school letter in baseball as a pinch hitter, and later in life took up golfing and sea kayaking. He also liked to fish and swim and even had custom-made snow skis. Dave was an animal lover, and often brought home stray cats, tadpoles and frogs, much to the exasperation of his parents. His hobbies included reading, art, photography, rebuilding computers, and most importantly, playing poker with his buddies. He loved practical jokes and making bets with his friends.
He worked tirelessly as a volunteer on behalf of LPA, serving as the IT coordinator in the late 90s, and created their online Medical Resource Center. In addition, he was a vocal advocate for the accessibility needs of little people and testified before the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) as a representative of LPA. At Oregon State University, he represented disabled students and employees by serving as the chairman of the OSU Commission on the Status of Individuals with Disabilities (COSID).
David was an avid sports fan, and a Beaver through and through. He was especially fond of attending football, basketball and baseball games. Dave used his love of sports and disability advocacy to make sure OSU's Reser Stadium was physically accessible. With his leadership on the COSID board, he was largely responsible for ensuring that disabled seating was properly installed in the renovations of the stadium, as well as overseeing improvements to campus technology access issues. He was a quietly humorous, intelligent and contemplative person, with an artistic soul. He could, however, become an adroit vocal advocate when he sensed an injustice.
In passing, Dave leaves behind his parents, Don and Arlene, and brothers Randy and Bill (BJ as he used to call him). He had many loving friends and family – too many to mention in one small article (you know who you are). He also leaves behind his fat, furry, spoiled feline companion, Suji. He is preceded in death by his grandparents, Arthur and Faye Duke, and Leo and Sadie Bradford, as well as cousins Brenda Bradford and Chris Newton. We know he has been gathered into their loving arms.
The memorial service for David will be a celebration of his life. It will be held Sunday, March 1, from noon to 3pm at the Oregon State University Alumni Center (Willamette Room), in Corvallis, Oregon. There will be a table set up so that attendees, if they wish, may bring a favorite photo or written memory of David. In lieu of flowers, the family request that donations be made in his honor to the Little People of America (LPA) Scholarship Fund.
These can be sent to:
Little People of America, Inc.250 El Camino Real, Suite 201Tustin, CA 92780Toll-free: (888) LPA-2001Direct: (714) 368-3689Fax: (714) 368-3367E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Make checks out to "Little People of America" and send a note specifying the scholarship fund. Donations can also be made online at www.lpaonline.org (click on the link "How You Can Help").
David's unexpected loss sorely grieves us all, but we can say with confidence that he wants us to live on joyfully and with purpose if we want to truly honor his memory. We should not mourn his passing, but praise creation for his being.

Speaking with Britain's The Sun, the KISS rocker says an unnamed promoter paid him $320 million to use his connections to rekindle the legendary rock outfit. "In 2009/10, I was given a few hundred million dollars in an account by a large concert promoter and given the task of reaching out to Jimmy [Page] and Robert [Plant] and trying to convince them to get back together," Simmons explained in the interview. Thus far Zep shows no signs of reuniting, however, as Robert Plant blasted one reporter who asked about a reunion during a recent presser:"If we're capable of doing something, in our own time, that will be what will happen.

Jewish World Review Aug 30, 2012 / 12 Elul, 5772 Obama loses election lead over economy By Dick Morris
http://www.JewishWorldReview.com |
Voters have hardened their views about the economy and now decisively reject Obama's economic record and say they see no reason for it to get better in a second term. Instead, they conclude that the president doesn't know how to turn the economy around, has limited business or economic experience and is "in over his head." Obama's attacks on Romney and his charge that the Republican would only help the rich have failed to blunt Romney's strength on the economic issue.
While voters agree, by 48-35, that "Romney would do a good job of fixing the economy and creating jobs," they reject, by 40-49, the central Obama charge against Romney that the Republican "only cares about the rich and does not look out for the average person." The 40 percent who agree with this statement the summation of Obama's negative campaign amount to little more than the party's base loyalists.
But, while his negatives aren't working, Obama faces daunting challenges over the economy. By 50-35, voters agree that "President Obama's economic policies have largely failed" and by 53-35, voters agree that "if Obama is reelected, there is no reason to believe he will be more successful with the economy than he has been to date."
Indeed, voters have concluded that Obama doesn't know how to fix the economy. By 48-41, they say that he is "in over his head and doesn't know how to improve the economy."
While voters agree with Obama that taxes on the rich should be increased and that Romney won't do it (by 48-33), they believe that "taxing rich people more is just a symbolic step. The actual revenues are very small" by a margin of 47-30. In fact, by 52-29, they agree that "taxing anybody, rich or middle-class, right now will hurt the economy."
Obama doesn't have much to show for the months and millions he has spent attacking Romney. My polling suggests that his negatives have not scored except with the Democratic base.
None of his attacks over Bain Capital, for instance, attracts agreement from more than the 40 percent of the vote that is Obama's Democratic base.
Forty percent (the Obama base) agree that "at Bain Capital, Romney was ruthless in laying off workers, cutting their benefits and making big profits in the process." But 48 percent see it differently and believe that "at Bain Capital, Romney took a large number of failing companies and turned them around, creating thousands of jobs in the process. Companies like Staples and Toys'R'Us."
Obama gets more traction on his attacks on Romney's personal income taxes. While only 23 percent believe Mitt cheats on his taxes, 57 percent agree that while "he may not cheat, he pays very little in taxes on a huge income." And 47 percent agree that Romney "has offshore bank accounts to hide his money from taxes."
But these negatives seem to make little difference in how people vote since the conviction is so widespread well over 50 percent that Romney would be materially better at fixing the economy and creating jobs.
The Democratic theme of pounding on Romney over class-warfare and tax issues is just not working and is overshadowed by voter concerns over Obama's ability to handle the economy.
Note: These poll numbers are from a survey of 500 likely voters that I conducted on Thursday, Aug. 23.

Contract renegotiator???
You mean repo-man? - 9:48 PM
- LawDog said...
You mean repo-man?
Nothing that sane.
I worked for a company which contracted to provide certain services to a multinational corporation.
When the contract expired, several other companies bid the contract, and one company owned and run by foreign nationals won the bid.
Unfortunately, my co-workers and I had unionized.
This new company had managed to underbid our old employers by assuming that my co-workers and I would take fairly significant cuts in pay and benefits.
I was the part-time business manager for the union. When both the president of the union and the vice-president suffered accidents on the job site, it was up to me to renegotiate the union contract with the new company.
Contract renegotiator. - 10:16 PM

Federal Way's "Olympic View Park" is a nice little park. It's a greenbelt with a paved path connecting two parts of the Twin Lakes area together. In the middle is a clearing with a nice play area for children. While there is some graffiti, there's also evidence of past attempts to clean up the graffiti in a nice way -- using colors chosen to more closely match the original wood, versus the typical beige slap and dash. I don't know if this is the work of a neighbor or The City, but they ought to be commended. The park itself was almost trash free and had a garbage can chained to a tree nearby. I picked up the few pieces of trash that hadn't made it into the can. The set itself is freshly painted and despite the graffiti looks very nice. Spray paint on the path also indicates that work will probably be done soon to repair areas of the path that have been pushed up by tree roots.
So not all of these are of graffiti, some are just to show how well this park is maintained, despite the graffiti.

Jimmy Savile Scandal: Former BBC Driver Accused of Sexually Abusing Underage Boys
David Smith is charged with five crimes including two counts of indecent assault in the 1980s.
LONDON – A former driver for the BBC has become the first suspect charged under Operation Yewtree, a formal criminal investigation into the former Top of The Pops presenter Jimmy Savile.
David Smith, who drove for BBC personalities in the 1980s, is charged on five counts including being accused of committing buggery with a boy under the age of 16 in July 1984.
The Crown Prosecution Service issued a statement Wednesday that said Smith has also been charged with two counts of indecent assault and two offenses of gross indecency on a boy under the age of 14.
Each of these incidents relate to one alleged victim and are said to have taken place between June 1 and July 21, 1984.
Smith, 66, was arrested on Dec. 10, 2012, the CPS said.
STORY: Jimmy Savile Scandal: Former BBC Producer Calls Police 'Overzealous'
He will appear at a central London magistrates' court May 8 to face the charges.
Alison Saunders, the chief crown prosecutor for the CPS, said her service carefully considered the evidence gathered as part of Operation Yewtree in relation to Smith, who was employed as a driver at the time of the allegations.
"The CPS received a file of evidence on 21 December 2012. Further enquiries were necessary and the result of those enquiries was received by the CPS on 18 March," Smith said.
"We have concluded, in accordance with the code for crown prosecutors, that there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction, and that it is in the public interest for David Smith to be charged with five offences."
Eleven men, including the comedians and former British TV stalwarts Freddie Starr and Jim Davidson, have been arrested and bailed since Operation Yewtree was launched last year.
Others held include the singer Gary Glitter, publicist Max Clifford and DJ Dave Lee Travis.
Davidson, Clifford, Starr and Travis have all denied allegations of sexual offenses.
Each of the arrests fall under the strand of Operation Yewtree termed "others," meaning that the offenses are not alleged to involve Savile.

How to Inspire and Train Your Staff
- 2012 May 24
Communicating vision and mission to your staff or volunteers is a monumental task. The opportunity for people to hear, understand and then respond is huge. How you begin the training sets the stage for the entirety of it. Don't think too small.
We've all been there, sitting through training we were forced to go through. We know we'd rather be somewhere else, and we know the speaker communicating the message would rather be somewhere else as well.
In the past, I've written about what I think are the three key elements in effective organizations. The second part of that is how you train your staff. I think great, effective training begins with setting the stage well. It starts in the beginning.
As many of you know, I work with a ministry called Pine Cove. This year, we will hire roughly 1,400 college students from all over the country to work in our various ministries during the summer. We have a staff manual that we teach everyone through over the span of a week. For two of those days, we have everyone together, covering the major philosophical elements of this ministry.
The staff manual is called the "Pine Cove Way," or "The Way" for short. In an effort to protect the process of going through our staff manual from become a boring event, we decided to get creative with how we kick off the training. It has brought the training to a new level.
Picture all our college staff in a rented auditorium. The lights go off, and to begin our staff training they see this happen in front of them:
That was the beginning for last year's training. The year before, the team came up with something different. They ended up organizing our entire resident staff to create a one-shot video announcing the arrival of our staff manual. Here is what we played to begin our training in 2010:Our goal in these openers is to get our staff engaged from the very beginning. They understand quickly that our mission is important to us.
What do you like or dislike about the training you are a part of right now?

Some 32 tents were pitched in the middle of the square on Thursday morning and four others were erected near the Egyptian Museum, state news agency MENA reported.
Sunday's protests, which are expected to be the biggest since the 2011 revolution, will press for President Mohamed Morsi to step down.
Protest calls were spearheaded by the Rebel campaign, a mammoth anti-Morsi petition drive.
Morsi's Islamist backers, meanwhile, are gearing up for their own counter-demonstrations planned for Friday.
Traffic in Tahrir Square, however, returned to normal on Thursday after it came to a standstill on Wednesday night.
Thousands of protesters descended on the flashpoint square late on Wednesday where big screens had been set up ahead of a speech by President Morsi. Angry protesters chanted against the president and the Muslim Brotherhood, the group which helped catapult him into the presidency. Others held aloft shoes and red cards as a sign of their contempt.

Tell-No-Tales Thursdays: July 1977, The Flying Dutchman, & Beady Eyes
The photographer who shot the photos from this post also took a number of other excellent images while he was at the park. You'll have to wait for those! Today I feature the images he got while on The Pirates of the Caribbean, posted here in chronological order. Considering he paid attention to the rules (no flash!), these really aren't too bad, and a nice historical record of how POTC looked over 30 years ago. As you can see, the auction scene is still pretty much the same...in a good way, of course!
In fact, overall, one would be hard pressed to know right off the bat that these weren't taken of the current attraction.
This may be akin to blasphemy for the attraction purists, but I am also posting a few pics of the The Flying Dutchman from the famed movie franchise, which my boss shot on a semi-recent vacation.
Back to the attraction—here are the beady green eyes that stare at you as you are being lifted back up to dry land in your pirate boat.
Just as these eyes mark the end of this attraction, this post marks the end of this POTC series; time for Daveland to explore other avenues on Thursdays! Follow my updates on Twitter. See more Pirates of the Caribbean photos at my regular website.

It's actually not the Black Pearl, it's Davy Jone's ship called the Flying Dutchman.

Thanks for the correction Mr. Michel!

You're right Dave, those are really good for the context. It is neat to see.

Thirty-eight years and 10 minutes, the time it took Manchester City to get a break at Arsenal. This was supposed to be a test of the champions' mettle. Manchester United's win over Liverpool stiffened the challenge by extending the deficit at the top to 10 points. Take that. When a rival has sprung the trap in the early game, the four o'clock slot on Super Sunday becomes a graveyard shift for teams chasing glory or survival.
Then into the life of Roberto Mancini walks Laurent Koscielny. He might have been carrying flowers. Even Arsène Wenger, a notorious misser of tricks pulled by his own, did not bother to launch a defence. There is no accounting for the risks players will take when under the cosh, but wrapping your arms around a centre-forward in the box and wrestling him to the ground must rank among the more eccentric responses from a defender under no pressure.
Even before the madness of Koscielny's red card City had a nonchalant air about their play. Gareth Barry and David Silva were immediately prominent, gathering the ball and using it resourcefully. Unlike his team, Wenger performed with great skill and candour under post-match scrutiny. There was none of the usual evasion. The difference between the teams, he acknowledged, was clear before the sending off, and it lay in the mentality of the visitors. Whatever the tension underpinning this fixture, there was little evidence of it in City's demeanour.
Given the diffidence of Arsenal, the encounter could not survive the Koscielny incident. City could afford to pass up the penalty offered. Silva is a handful under any circumstances but when invited to play at training ground pace he enters Messi territory. Another to benefit was the indefatigable James Milner, who showed the kind of variety and movement that successive England managers have believed one day he will be capable of giving consistently on the international stage. Perhaps he benefits from performing with better players around him.
The ball from Carlos Tevez was beautiful in its simplicity, a deft pass on the diagonal to set Milner free in front of goal. And what a finish. Emphatic is the word, smashed across Wojciech Szczesny into the far corner of the goal. "He is a fantastic player," Mancini said of his right-sided running machine. "He was very tired at the end. He gave everything for us, and scored a great goal."
Mancini made light of the United result. "Yes we had pressure coming here but seven, eight, nine points behind does not make a difference at this stage. We need to play well. Only this. Then we have a chance. United are really strong. They played well. It is important for us to be there."
He said City will appeal the later sending off of captain Vincent Kompany. He will be lucky. Studs up, leg outstretched, incoming player upended by the impact of the collision. Not a chance. Kompany's departure at least gave Arsenal hope. The second half was better than the first but before Kompany's ill-fated lunge the numbers were always against the home side. Wenger had to fill the hole at centre-back with Per Mertesacker, but not necessarily by removing Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
The increasingly ineffectual Lukas Podolski would have been a better choice, if not the returning Abou Diaby, who struggled to make any sense of the occasion. There was one screaming ray of light for Arsenal, and that was once again in the performance of Jack Wilshere.
He must have Spanish ancestry. Wilshere recycles possession with the same efficiency as Silva and turns in circles just as small. However great a problem the lack of communal self-belief is at Arsenal, it does not extend to this chap. He is therefore exempt from this criticism observed by Wenger: "We were too timid. There is not enough authority. We did not start with enough confidence and authority, and in a game like that you have to dictate your authority.
"With 10 men it is difficult, of course. It's frustrating because the team shows great heart and desire, but we are a bit too nervous in these games at home."
Arsenal travel across town to Stamford Bridge next. Maybe they will be lucky and run into Chelsea on a down day. City are in no need of any favours. They have the resource to slug this out, despite the loss of Yaya Touré to African Cup of Nations duty.
The Premier League pendulum threatens another delicious swing next weekend with the visit of United to Tottenham, one of only three teams to beat them this season in the league and the only one to do so at Old Trafford. At least City get to go first this time, hosting Fulham, a fixture that for 24 hours at least could see the deficit in the title battle reduced to four points.

Normal subgroups of the braid groups and the Dehornoy ordering
- Date: 01/17/2007
Adam Clay (University of British Columbia)
University of British Columbia
The braid groups admit a left-ordering, known as the Dehornoy ordering,
which has come up under many guises in recent years. I will show that
normal subgroups interact with the Dehornoy ordering in such a way that
'nearly all' normal subgroups of the braid groups are densely ordered
with respect to this ordering. In particular, some popular normal
subgroups--such as the kernels of the Burau representations--can be
easily analyzed. This is joint work with Dale Rolfsen.

Subject | [jira] [Commented] (SOLR-3609) Pin down the Solr webapp to a specific directory rather than a unique random directory. |
Date | Thu, 12 Jul 2012 00:17:34 GMT |
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3609?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13412400#comment-13412400 ] Mark Miller commented on SOLR-3609: ----------------------------------- This messed up prepare-release which tries to delete the work directory - fixing. > Pin down the Solr webapp to a specific directory rather than a unique random directory. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SOLR-3609 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-3609 > Project: Solr > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Mark Miller > Assignee: Mark Miller > Fix For: 4.0 > > Attachments: SOLR-3609.patch > > > I'd like to pin down the extracted webapp dir to a constant known location. I think this is a better user experience, in that the location is fixed, and it also would allow us to write scripts that can find all of our jars. > For example, there is currently some functionality in ZkController.main to handle some ZooKeeper tasks before starting Solr - something you often want to be able to do. There are more tools that would be nice to add. To create the best user experience for these tools, it would be great to have an example/cloud-tools directory with some simple scripts to make for easy cmd line execution. These scripts will need to be able to easily locate the webapps jars. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

A recent decision by the United Nation's (UN) Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) foreshadows an ominous future for free societies should Muslim entities like the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) achieve their goal of having "Islamophobia" defined internationally as a form of prejudice.
Former German central bank board member Thilo Sarrazin has got himself in trouble with the UN, as the Turkish Union in Berlin-Brandenburg(Türkischer Bund in Berlin-Brandenburg or TBB) stated with satisfaction in an April 18, 2013, German-language press release. The spokesman of this German-Turkish interest group, Hilmi Kaya Turan, praised a February 26, 2013, "historic decision" by the CERD condemning Germany for not having prosecuted Sarrazin's criticism of Arab and Turkish immigrants.
Sarrazin, a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands or SPD), produced a storm of controversy with his August 2010 book Deutschland Schafft Sich Ab: Wie Wir Unser Land aufs Spiel Setzen ("Germany Abolishes Itself: How We Are Risking Our Country"). In the context of this controversy, CERD's detailed 19-page decision extensively excerpted in English translation a fall 2009interview with Sarrazin. In the interview, the Berlin magazine Lettre International discussed some of the upcoming book's themes.
CERD complained that "[i]n this interview, Mr. Sarrazin expressed himself in a derogatory and discriminatory way about social 'lower classes', which are not productive' and would have to 'disappear over time' in order to create a city of the 'elite'." Sarrazin specified that about 20% of Berlin's population depended on welfare payments, which he wanted to cut, "above all to the lower class."
Berlin's indigent included within the immigrant population a "large number of Arabs and Turks in this city, whose numbers have grown through erroneous policies, have no productive function, except for the fruit and vegetable trade." Compounding the problem for Sarrazin was a birthrate among Arabs and Turks about three times their percentage of the population. Sarrazin thereby saw "Turks…conquering Germany just like the Kosovars conquered Kosovo: through a higher birth rate." Sarrazin "wouldn't mind if" these immigrants "were East European Jews with about a 15% higher IQ than the one of Germans." Central to Sarrazin's thesis was the assumption that "human ability is to some extent socially contingent and to some extent hereditary." Sarrazin's "solution to this problem" was "to generally prohibit influx, except for highly qualified individuals and not provide social welfare for immigrants anymore."
As noted by CERD, Sarrazin's interview comments prompted on October 23, 2009, a criminal complaint by the TBB under the German Criminal Code's Article 130 against "Incitement to Hatred" (Volksverhetzung). Yet upon review, German prosecutors suspended their investigations on November 23, 2009, deciding that Sarrazin's views fell under the protection of free speech contained within Article 5 of Germany's Basic Law (Grundgesetz). Prosecutors quoted by CERD had judged Sarrazin's statements as a "contribution to the intellectual debate in a question…very significant for the public."
Following this domestic defeat, the TBB turned in 2010 to Article 14 of CERD's governing convention (Article 14), the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial …read more
