Explosion protection and SIL brought together by Standards
Explosions often cause major damage. Therefore, it's not surprising that large sums of money are invested in safety precautions in order to prevent explosions. In this case functional performance and reliability of such equipment is essential.
The new standard NEN-EN 50495 brings Explosion protection and Functional safety (in terms of Safety Integrity Levels, SIL) together. Not only for safety precautions (as described in the NEN-EN-IEC 60079) but also for the functional precautions that need to be assessed.

Traders to find supplier of sodium erythorbate
I am Ante Juric, engaged in selling sodium erythorbate in Russia, thus, it is extremely important for me to select a reliable supplier of sodium erythorbate.
Sales of Supplier
There are tons of suppliers of sodium erythorbate in China, thus, supply scale should be important, sodium erythorbate suppliers with a certain size suppliers tend to have more bargaining power, in some country, we can even find their sodium erythorbate supply volumes through customs data.
Warehouse is also important for sodium erythorbate suppliers, sodium erythorbate traders make judgments through sodium erythorbate market situation. On one hand, while sodium erythorbate is in the upside, traders purchase bulk sodium erythorbate for storage, and sell with the price advantage; On the other, vendors need to keep cargo in warehouse in case customers need LCL loaded.
Foodchem International Corporation owns an EDC warehouse in Shanghai, an advanced warehouse system which only few trading companies in Shanghai can provide, it avails fast delivery within 1 week.
Google "Company Name"
A renowned company name usually shows a great deal results on Goolge Search, because its company name is frequently searched by their customers or cited by other web sites.
Take "Foodchem International Corporation" as an example, as has been showed in the below picture, there comes out more than 298,000 searching results on Google.
Supply of Products
Compared with Manufacturers, other than service advantage, main advantage of trading companies lies in being able to provide various kinds of products. For example, when we would like to order sodium erythorbate as well as several other food ingredients, trading companies becomes the best choice, since unlike factories, traders can provide one-stop service and have greater bargaining powder which permits a lower price.
Of course , we can purchase sodium erythorbate directly from manufacturers if the volume is large enough, but it won't be a bad choice if we keep in touch with some large-scaled traders. Because once your long-term-cooperate factory is in short of sodium erythorbate , we can turn to trading companies, who can help to find other suppliers shortly or even direct supply sodium erythorbate in no time.
As far as we know, big suppliers of food additives and ingredients can basically provide more than 100 kinds of products, among which, Foodchem International Corporation are able to supply overseas customers more than 300 kinds of food additives and ingredients, plant extracts, nutritional supplements, apis, etc.
Size of Team
Member Size of suppliers or manufacturers also plays a very important role; generally number of manufacturers is slightly larger than traders. A complete overseas trade involves a lot of sessions; To perform perfectly, each session requires well-professional persons. A well-founded overseas trading company generally includes online marketing, sales, logistics, purchasing, service, administration departments, etc.
Normally we can scan through the vendor's web site or some third-party social networking sites to confirm suppliers' team size.
Google "Website"
While Googling a company website, there will be attached links along with the website on result page. It is an effective and reliable route to judge company scale and brand awareness since not a single company is able to impact Google's objective valuation towards any company.
sodium erythorbate suppliers will never ever lose the opportunity to communicate with customers face to face on exhibitions. Although with rapid development of the network, some people choose not to attend exhibitions, while substantial companies still avail these opportunities to meet their clients and looking for potential clients.
Therefore, exhibitions provide a efficient solution to find sodium erythorbate good suppliers: Visit suppliers' websites to see their participation in the exhibitions.
Company Name
As a professional trader or manufacturer of food additives, normally its company name has food, chemical, additives or other key words in it. Other trading companies who have affairs in all fields, usually performs unprofessionally.

Over the first decade of this century, BASF Corp.'s Savannah plant churned out increasingly more pollution each year.
In 2000, it released into the Savannah River more than half a million pounds of chemicals listed on the federal "Toxics Release Inventory," much of it nitrates.
By 2010, that number had quintupled, and the facility earned the dubious distinction of being the largest toxics polluter by sheer weight of any facility in the Savannah area. That has changed.
From 2010 to 2011, the company slashed its nitrates pollution by nearly 70 percent, according to reports it made to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. BASF fell to the No. 2 spot locally for total releases.
The facility makes chemicals used in the oil refining process and employs about 80 people at its site across from the Savannah Golf Club.
Along with toxicity, nitrates contribute to oxygen depletion, a serious problem in the Savannah River. Reducing them helps the river, but the reduction was good for BASF, too, said site manager Dusty Allen.
"One of the chemicals we use is a rare earth nitrate," Allen said. "We changed the process for treating it, and now more goes out with the end product. It actually stabilizes the product for the customer."
Even when releases were at their maximum, they were within the bounds of BASF's permit. Still, the company intends to stay at the lower level for years to come.
"We help refiners make their production more efficient," Allen said. "We're a small part of what they spend in refineries, but I like to think we're driving the price of gas down."
The next biggest loser
So if the biggest toxics polluter in the area can reduce its impact with one manufacturing upgrade, can others reduce theirs?
Many have. The trend, in fact, for toxic pollution in Chatham County, as in Georgia and the nation, is downward.
From 2000-2011, the total released in the county was reduced from 7.8 million to 3.9 million pounds. These are legal releases within the bounds of the companies' permits.
At the top of the 2011 list is International Paper, which makes liner board and kraft paper. It was once the largest integrated pulp and paper mill in the world. While that's no longer the case, it's still a large mill. And it appears perennially on the list of top toxics polluters in the Savannah area.
Savannahians don't sniff the so-called "smell of money" - actually sulfur - as often as they did in years past from the westside plant. The company worked hard to reduce those odors before it was even required to do so in the 1990s.
And it's reduced other toxic releases this century.
Spokeswoman Karen Bogans said those reductions are part of a corporate sustainability effort.
"Since 2010, we have seen significant reductions in both air and water emissions," she wrote in an email response. "One substantial improvement is in our increased use of biomass, which results in a reduction of our emissions. Our goal is to keep working toward continuous improvement and being a strong environmental steward in our local community."
Other companies point to their reductions, too.
Georgia Pacific's mill in Rincon makes tissues, paper towels and napkins.
It uses some former waste products, such as ash, from its power plant as construction material for on-site road projects, said spokeswoman Carrie Thompson. It's also reduced water usage by 30 percent since 2006.
"We're diligently pursuing how we can be more efficient," she said.
Weyerhaeuser's Port Wentworth mill voluntarily reduced its pollutant discharge into the Savannah River in 2011, said Chris Blocker, the mill's environmental manager.
It improved on that reduction this year, garnering the facility the 2012 Environmental Excellence Award from the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce.
"We also review emissions of all pollutants, including the ones reported in TRI," he wrote in an email, "and if we see ourselves as an outlier in any emission, we then set goals to reduce that emission."
Although International Paper had a three-week power outage in 2009 that accounts for some of its dip that year, both it and Georgia Pacific said their reductions were not related to lowered production.
That's not the case at the Georgia Power's Plant McIntosh and Plant Kraft, where toxic chemical releases are also down.
"The amount of generation at several plants in recent years, largely due to current economic conditions, has significantly impacted the recent (Toxics Release Inventory) numbers for those plants," said spokesman Mark Williams.
What about risk?
While the Toxics Release Inventory numbers indicate how many pounds of the 650 toxic chemicals on EPA's list a facility has released into the local air and water, it says little about the risk of those releases.
To remedy that, the EPA developed a Risk-Screening Environmental Indicator.
The risk score from EPA adjusts for the chemicals' toxicity plus their dispersal and the size of the nearby population, to inform communities about the potential chronic health risks from industrial releases.
Michael Ash, an economist from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, coauthors a report that uses the risk scores to rank corporations based on the chronic human health risk from all of their U.S. polluting facilities.
"Some of the chemicals could be 10 million times worse than others," he said. "(The risk score) does the service of putting all the chemicals onto the same scale."
When local facilities are compared using their risk score, International Paper remains at the No. 1 spot.
In 2010, the latest scores available, International Paper scored 16,389. That was far above the paper industry national median of 36 and the county all-industry median of 21.
The parent corporations of five Coastal Empire facilities appear on the University of Massachusetts Amherst's most recent list of the Toxic 100 Air Polluters: Koch Industries, which operates Georgia Pacific, is fifth; BASF is ninth; Ashland is 53rd; Southern Company, which operates Plants Kraft and McIntosh, is No. 68; and International Paper is 95th.
Of these, the only Savannah-area facility that contributes significantly to its corporation's ranking is International Paper.
Its Savannah facility contributes 13 percent of the corporation's total score, according to the "Toxic 100 Air Polluters" report.
Spokeswoman Bogans and the facility's environmental manager said the EPA's risk number was not one they were familiar with and declined to comment further on it.
At Weyerhaeuser, Blocker said the size of its Port Wentworth plant, its processes and its proximity to residential neighbors all push its score above the national median for the broad category of "paper," which this year includes 40 facilities that either don't list or report as zero their pounds of emissions.
So many zeroes "skews the median toward a low number," he said.
"Because our mill and mills like ours produce pulp from raw wood chips and have a process for bleaching the final stock, we tend to have higher RSEI numbers," he wrote in an email.
Ezequiel Velez, regional Toxics Release Inventory coordinator for the EPA region 4 based in Atlanta, said that while the risk scores have been published for several years, not everyone is familiar with them.
EPA does use them internally to prioritize its efforts. Looking at both Toxics Release Inventory numbers and risk scores derived from them can help establish which facilities are most ripe for further reductions.
That can be a powerful tool in the right hands.
"That's real power as a community group if they, say, go after a facility because it poses a greater risk," said Doug Chatham, an EPA technical assistant.
"It's pretty effective when they go talk to them. Most facilities want to be good neighbors, and if they can do it, they will."

(CNN) -- Lawmakers tend to stay quiet in the immediate aftermath of mass shootings, hoping to avoid attempts to politicize such tragedy. But two days after the attack that took the lives of 20 children and six adults at a Connecticut elementary school, lawmakers were eager to take on the gun debate Sunday - with many saying a tipping point had finally been reached to pass stricter laws.
Another group of voices, however, argued that if Friday's tragedy proved anything, it was a need for more guns in the hands of people as a means for self-defense.
The renewed attention on gun-control laws comes as President Barack Obama visits Newtown, Connecticut, Sunday. In a tearful statement Friday, the president said, "We've endured too many of these tragedies in the past few years" and called for "meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of politics."
President Obama Sunday told mourners in Newtown, Conn., that we don't do enough to protect our children. Gun control advocates hope this means the president will take on a ban on assault weapons
As a presidential candidate in 2008, Obama supported reinstating the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, but has yet to make it a top priority since taking office. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Friday that it remains a commitment on Obama's second-term agenda.
In Congress, multiple gun control bills have been introduced in recent years, but not a single one has advanced to a floor vote.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said Sunday the president will soon have legislation "to lead on," announcing she will introduce a bill next month to place a ban on assault weapons.
"The purpose of this bill is to get...'weapons of war' off the street of our cities," Feinstein said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The senator added she'll introduce the bill when Congress reconvenes in January and the same legislation will also be proposed in the House of Representatives. It's modeled after the original assault-weapons ban that Feinstein helped champion in 1994. The ban, however, expired at the end of its 10-year term.
"We're crafting this one. It's being done with care. It'll be ready on the first day," she said, adding that she'll soon announce the House authors.
Fellow Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer, who worked on the House version of the assault weapons ban in 1994, said Washington has been "gridlocked" over the issue because "you have both sides off in a corner."
The New York senator said if pro-gun-control lawmakers can admit "there is a constitutional right to bear arms" and if anti-gun-control lawmakers can admit that "every amendment should have some balance and some limitation," then both sides can meet in the middle.
"Maybe we can make some real progress instead of each side being off in their corner, one side saying ban guns, get rid of guns, and the other side saying don't you touch anything about guns," Schumer said.
Connecticut has some of the strictest assault-weapons laws in the country, but Gov. Dan Malloy said Sunday that the lack of similar laws at the federal level makes it difficult to keep such weapons out of the state.
He said manufacturers can use "descriptive terms to try to get around the limitations that are built into our statutes" and added many guns found in the state had been tracked from gun shows in other parts of the country.
"One can only hope that we'll find a way to limit these weapons that really only have one purpose," Malloy, a Democrat, said on CNN's "State of the Union."
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who's long called for more action on gun laws, said Sunday that tougher regulations should be Obama's "number one agenda" during his second term.
"It's so unbelievable. And it only happens in America. And it happens again and again," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"We kill people in schools. We kill them in hospitals. We kill them in religious organizations. We kill them when they're young. We kill them when they're old. And we've just got to stop this," Bloomberg said.
He's not the only one calling on the White House to act. More than 126,000 people have signed a petition since Friday asking for Obama "to produce legislation that limits access to guns."
The White House is required to respond after 25,000 signatures, and so far, the newly created web document has more signatories than any of the 154 petitions listed on the White House's website.
While several Democratic lawmakers made their voices heard Sunday, Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert said the deadly Connecticut school shooting could have been halted sooner if staff at the school had been equipped with guns.
"I wish to God (the principal) had had an M4 in her office, locked up, so when she heard gunfire she pulls it out ... and takes him out, takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids," the Republican from Texas said on "Fox News Sunday."
Gohmert argued that as the country takes on a conversation about gun rights, people must be "open-minded." He said emotional reactions will naturally lead to a desire to "get rid of all guns," but he said that "you (should) use your head and look at the facts."
"Every mass killing of more than three people in recent history has been in a place where guns were prohibited, except for one," he said, arguing for looser gun laws so more people can be armed for self-protection. "They know no one will be armed."
Another Republican, former Education Secretary William Bennett, made a similar argument, saying the political debate should be put on hold while emotions are still high.
"The whole nation is mourning. It's an important moment. Let the tears dry before we head off into all these directions at once," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
Bennett also agreed with the idea that schools should have a gun.
"I'm not so sure I wouldn't want one person in a school armed, ready for this kind of thing," he said. "It would have to be someone who's trained, someone who's responsible, but my God, if you can prevent this kind of thing."
Polls have shown that the public remains divided on the gun laws. A CNN/ORC International survey conducted in August -- shortly after the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting and another one at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin - found that 50% of Americans favor no restrictions or only minor restrictions on owning guns, while 48% support major restrictions or a complete ban on gun ownership by individuals except police and other authorized personnel.
Those numbers are identical to where they were in 2011, and the number who support major restrictions or a complete ban has remained in the 48%-to-50% range for more than a decade.
Though their differing opinions in the debate may be sharp, Republican and Democratic politicians all agreed on one thing Sunday: No single piece of legislation will be able to stop the violence completely. As long as there's a will and an unstable mind, there's a way, they said.
Malloy illustrated that point, telling CNN the gunman in Friday's shooting literally "shot his way into the building," breaking past the school's security system.
But retiring Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut, said on Fox that "the stronger our gun-control laws are, the fewer acts of violence - including mass violence - will happen in our society."
Others emphasized an additional need to boost mental health programs in the country. Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, who was intimately involved in the aftermath of the Aurora movie theater shooting, said Colorado has spent almost $20 million in new programs to support those dealing with mental illness.
"That's something we can do immediately without getting into some of the battles of gun legalization or restricting access to guns," he said on CNN, though acknowledging some gun laws need to be tweaked.
In particular, he said the debate should focus on access to high-capacity magazines. His support for tougher laws in the state marks a change in policy for the governor, who earlier this year said stricter gun laws would not have helped.
Still, Hickenlooper argued the "country is based on the Second Amendment."
"My grandfather taught me how to shoot and clean a 12-gauge shotgun and showed me how to hunt, and I've showed my son," he said. "That tradition is very powerful throughout this country."
Rep. Jason Chaffetz of Utah said he legally owns a shotgun and a Glock, but he's "not the person you need to worry about."
"There are millions of Americans who deal with this properly. It's our Second Amendment right to do so," the Republican congressman said on ABC's "This Week." "But we have to look at the mental health access that these people have."
While a debate over gun rights quickly sparked after the Aurora tragedy, it wasn't long before the conversation began to fade, as a presidential election squarely focused on the economy soon dominated national dialogue.
But Sen.-elect Chris Murphy of Connecticut said Americans should not expect the newly resurfaced debate to go away anytime soon.
"Frankly the tipping point should have happened a long time ago, but if this is the tipping point, then we're going to go down to Washington and prompt a conversation that's long overdue," Murphy, a Democrat, told CNN chief political correspondent Candy Crowley.
Sitting next to fellow Democrat Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Murphy recalled a certain plea that the elected officials encountered earlier Sunday in Newtown.
"A young man grabbed us in a church this morning, sobbing, and said 'Don't let his happen again.'"
CNN's Paul Steinhauser, Brianna Keilar and Gregory Wallace contributed to this report.

Concurrency, Templates and Higher-Order Abstract Syntax
I don't blog as much as I should. It's because lately I have my fingers in a lot of different pies, and I don't know how interested the DobbsCodeTalk.com audience would be in my areas of investigation. Anyway, I think its time that I opened up and let you see a bit more into my world.
I am interested in a lot of different areas of computer science and programming. My endeavors take me down a lot of different avenues. I enjoy that, but sometimes it makes it hard for me to find a single community that I can relate to, or a single topic to master.
For example I consider myself knowledgeable about programming language design, but when it comes down to the theory of language semantics and type systems, the folks at Lambda-the-Ultimate.org leave me in the dust. Luckily I managed to get some interesting discussion occur at a level that I could almost follow when I posted a link to an article entitled A Type-theoretic Foundation for Programming with Higher-order Abstract Syntax and First-class Substitutions.
In my day job, I recently wrote a large number of plug-ins in C++ for 3ds Max, and had to find a way to share code between 38 different plug-in types. The problem was that each plug-in type had to derive from a different base-class, but most has a common shared ancestry of classes. The solution I used was to use template classes that derive from the template parameter. A small but powerful trick, that reduced the need for a lot of boiler plate code in the samples. I wrote more about this, and the dangers of cut and paste programming on my 3ds Max SDK Blog.
In my programming language project, I am working on providing primitive operations for piping data from producer classes to consumer classes, but doing so safely and asynchronously. It is relatively easy to parallelize under the hood. All it takes is a fast non-blocking queue to share data. Like the one described in this DDJ article by Herb Sutter. The only problems are that I am using .NET, and I wanted my queue to be a linked list of arrays (which I think/hope should be more efficient). So I developed one, but I am not sure that it is correct. I posted my code here on StackOverflow.com to see what others have to say.
In more mundane news, I have been continuing to slog away at the core Heron implementation writing more and more unit tests. Most of the language works. It is like running a Java interpreter but with higher-order functions (and which blows up a lot). The only interesting development, is a rudimentary debugger, so that I can easily examine the call stack when the editor throws an error. I am holding back making an official release, until I can increase the number of passing unit and feature tests.
Phew, it feels good to get all of that off my chest. I hope there is something of interest to you in all of this!

Michael Appleton would like to bring David Bentley back to Blackburn
Blackburn boss Michael Appleton admits he would welcome the opportunity to bring David Bentley back to Ewood Park.
Last Updated: 16/02/13 11:58am
Bentley shot to prominence during a two-year stint with Rovers between 2006 and 2008, with a number of eye-catching displays earning him England recognition and a big-money move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Now 28, the winger's career has been in decline ever since he left Blackburn, with injuries and a loss of form making him something of a forgotten man.
He is still on the books at Spurs, but remains some way down the pecking order and Appleton, who hopes to add to his signing of Karim Rekik from Manchester City before the weekend, concedes that he would be interested in taking Bentley on loan.
"I certainly hope to have another one done by this evening," Appleton told the Lancashire Telegraph on Friday.
"I doubt he will be involved on Saturday, but I am 90 per cent sure that will be done.
"David is a wide player and we have been talking about wide players. He is definitely on the list and in an ideal world I would like to bring two wide players in.
"So whether he is one of the two, let's see what happens. He has a great history with the club and a lot of quality."
Appleton added: "I think the only time I will get the feeling this is my squad is in the summer, though. The squad I walked into, I recognised the balance was not right.
"I wanted to try and address that as soon as I could, but you don't get the opportunity to do that to a full extent until you have the summer."

I'm selling my copy of "Hands On Yello The Updates" on ebay.
Auction ends Dec 30 2010.
As the auction description states this is in fair condition. Some wear and light scratches on discs and case. The case is cracked but intact, and has the original sticker still. Digitally it is intact and you won't have trouble with ripping or playing.
In my opinion it's not the best Yello release. I prefer Yello's own remixes. The Orb mix is my favorite. I'm sure most of you understand the rarity of this item.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Happy holidays

Gaming Consoles: The Next Frontier
With the formal unveiling of the Wii U last week, the curtain is beginning to rise on the next generation of video game consoles.
Although game programmers continually eke out more and more improvements on long-running platforms through more efficient programming, innovative peripherals like the Kinect, and enhancements like downloadable content, it's time to realize the truth: Today's generation of consoles are a little stale. Unfortunately, that's doubly true of the Nintendo Wii, whose low cost, fun motion controller, and family-friendly titles caused the Wii to fly off the shelves early in its life. But the Wii's graphics always struggled to keep up with the Xbox family and the Sony PlayStation consoles.
For that matter, the Xbox 360debuted in May 2005, and the PlayStation began shipping in Japan in November 2006. Over their long lifespans, both consoles helped introduce the concept of an online game network, tie-ins to mobile devices like the PlayStation Portable and Windows Phone, as well as their own motion controllers like the PlayStation Move and the Microsoft Kinect .
In the meantime, however, the role of the traditional console is being attacked by all sides. The evolution of mobile hardware like the Apple iPhoneand the various Android devices and tablets has made gaming on the go essentially free or very low cost. Rovio's "Angry Birds" franchise and other mobile game hits, plus social games by Zynga and other Facebook partners have spawned a new breed of casual gamer. And with the future promise of the Ouya, plus services like Gaikai and OnLive, the need for ultra-powerful gaming hardware is even more under threat.
Still, we know that the Big Three console companies are forging ahead with their next-gen products and we have some good clues as to what they'll feature. Whether they're just misleading rumors or actual facts will have to wait until the following systems and services launch, but let's play the guessing game anyway.
1 Nintendo Wii U
2 Ouya
3 Valve Steambox
4 Sony PlayStation 4
5 Microsoft's Next Xbox

Actor Tom Arnold is a first-time dad at 54 – his wife Ashley Groussman has given birth to a son.
The couple welcomed little Jax Copeland Arnold on Saturday morning.
The funnyman tells People.com, "We are still in a bit of shock. It has been a long journey and the healthy birth of our son is a miracle."
He then took to Twitter to share his happy news with his followers, writing, "Game Changer: Jax Copeland Arnold. 8lbs 12oz. Looking forward to being a 70 year old Little League Coach."
Arnold, who suffers from a low sperm count, previously revealed he and his wife have been trying to start a family since they married in 2009, and they consulted fertility doctors in 2011 in their bid to conceive.
The in vitro fertilization treatment has been a success and the veteran star recently called the unborn baby his "miracle" child after yearning for years to become a father.
Groussman is Arnold's fourth wife. He was previously married to fellow comic, Roseanne Barr.

Bipolar disorder is a brain disorder that causes severe or unusual shifts in mood, energy level, thinking, and behavior. People with bipolar disorder experience episodes of mania where they have overly happy or extremely irritable moods and increases in energy. They can also have episodes of depression. While everyone has good and bad moods, the unprovoked and intense highs and lows of people with bipolar disorder can be unpredictable, extreme, and debilitating. Bipolar disorder occurs in all age groups, young and old. Until recently, bipolar disorder in children and adolescents was thought to be an extremely rare condition, but it may, in fact, be more common than previously thought.
Many parents are challenged by a child who has extreme changes in mood, energy, thinking, and behavior. Careful evaluation will find that some of these children are suffering from a mental disorder. Yet, only a very few of those will have bipolar disorder.

AACAP's Practice Parameters for the Assessment and Treatment of Children and Adolescents with Bipolar Disorder aids mental health professionals and physicians in their clinical decision making. The Practice Parameters show the best treatment options available to families living with childhood and adolescent mental illness. These parameters were published in 2007 but are the most updated version. Because they are more than five years old and have not yet been updated to reflect current knowledge and practice, in accordance with national standards, including those of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National Guideline Clearinghouse, these parameters can no longer be assumed to be current.

Getting help is the most important thing that parents can do for children and adolescents with a mental health concern. Parents should try to find a mental health professional with advanced training and experience evaluating and treating children and adolescents with bipolar disorder. Also, it is important to find a comfortable match between your child, your family, and the mental health professional.
A child and adolescent psychiatrist is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of mental health disorders that affect children and adolescents. Child and adolescent psychiatrists have completed four years of medical school, and at least three years of residency training in medicine, neurology, or general psychiatry with adults, and two years of additional training in psychiatric work with children and adolescents.
Find a child and adolescent psychiatrist in your area.
To learn about accessing child and adolescent psychiatrists and other mental health professionals, please read Where to Find Help for Your Child.
Oftentimes, parents are unsure when to seek a referral to a child and adolescent psychiatrist. For more information on when to seek a referral, click here.

Since 2001 I have had a radio show called the Inner Ear Detour on WFMU. I also write about the history of music and sound.

Fat Possum Mississippi Juke Joint Caravan live on WFMU
Matthew Johnson has said that he started Fat Possum Records just to be able to put out a record by R. L. Burnside. He did that (Bad Luck City, 1992), but fortunately he didn't stop there. From that time on, Fat Possum has released many of the most exciting blues discs to appear since the 1960s, revitalizing interest in music that many people (outside the South, especially) had long thought was creatively exhausted.
For a number of years, a handful of artists from the label's roster toured the country, billed as the Fat Possum Juke Joint Caravan. Back in the mid-1990s the troupe featured R. L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough. Later, its mainstays were T-Model Ford and Paul "Wine" Jones. In 2004, the opportunity arose to bring the Caravan to WFMU for a set on my show "The Inner Ear Detour," and I was thrilled to have them.
For reasons I don't recall, everyone was packed into Studio A, rather than setting up the musicians in the regular, roomier performance space upstairs, connected to Studio B. It wasn't intentional, I'm sure, but with everyone crammed in there, the effect when the music started was that Studio A felt an awful lot like a crowded hill-country juke joint. The sound had a lot to do with it, too, of course. Listening to these recordings today, this is not a sound—gritty and dark, loose and groovy—that I generally associate with 10 a.m. on a Thursday morning! It helped too that we had a throng of people squeezed into the room: all the musicians, their handler, engineer Jason Engel, sundry WFMU staffers and volunteers, and, somewhat incongruously, a small television crew doing a story on Fat Possum for the Canadian branch of Bravo.
The late Paul "Wine" Jones played first, with a searing guitar style reminiscent of the rawer recordings of Hound Dog Taylor. T-Model Ford played next, with echoes of Howlin' Wolf and Muddy Waters in his repertoire but with a sandpaper-and-gravel timbre and sparse accompaniment (by his longtime partner Spam on drums) that no one would mistake for Chess Records. "T" (as everyone seemed to call him) was then in his 80s and walked with a cane, but this didn't stop him from getting up and dancing when the other musicians played. Last was Kenny Brown, best known as a protégé of R. L. Burnside but whose lighter finger-picking on this date was more reminiscent of another of his mentors, Joe Callicott. Cedric Burnside played drums with Paul Jones and with Kenny Brown.
Great musicians, and a great morning.

|Every interview with a centenarian talks about environmental factors that may have contributed to their longevity -- the nightly shot of bandy, or regular consumption of fish. But now new research takes a close look at what genetic factors are associated with the exceptionally-long-lived. Writing in the journal Science, researchers describe a series of genetic signatures that are particularly common in people who live to 100 and beyond, compared to the average population. The study involved over 1000 centenarians. We'll talk with one of the authors of the study.

A lot of people think Dec. 21 2012 is the end of the ancient Mayan calendar, which means the world will come to an end at that time.
NASA scientists say not to to buy into the hysteria.
The space agency has prepared a nice FAQ ahead of the fateful December date that quashes any notions of the world coming to a sudden halt, and a brief history of where the idea started.
The rumor stems, in part, from a misinterpretation of how the Mayan calender works.
Just as the calendar you have on your kitchen wall does not cease to exist after December 31, the Mayan calendar does not cease to exist on December 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan long-count period but then — just as your calendar begins again on January 1 — another long-count period begins for the Mayan calendar.
That's reassuring.

U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, in her speech to the 2012 Texas GOP Convention, painted the Democrats as trying to sow dissension among Republicans over Mitt Romney. Her all-GOP audience demonstrated the dissension that's there, regardless of who planted it.
"We have got the job of electing Mitt Romney president of the United States … but the Democrats are trying to divide us. Democrats are trying to say Republicans aren't enthusiastic about our nominee," she said. "I'm plenty enthusiastic about Mitt Romney. It is time for us to rally around Mitt Romney.:
There were strong boos and shouts of "Ron Paul" when she said Romney's name, although some also applauded She said his name several times and pretty much got the same reaction each time.
Hutchison went out on a positive note after talking about how she has come to every state convention that's occurred since 1972, her time as a state lawmaker, state treasurer and U.S. senator, and her retirement from her Washington office.
"So for me, it is good-bye for now. But I have loved this state. I have loved the opportunity that the Republican Party has given to me," she said.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, who followed Hutchison, didn't mention Romney's name until the end of his speech and there were no boos.

Yesterday was a Bad Day, and when I have Bad Days I like to fangirl out to make myself feel better. Actually, who am I kidding? I like to fangirl out everyday. At the moment, the following things are helping me fuel my obsession fueled life:
– You're The Voice:
I have recently discovered an intense love for
the show Merlin the stars of the show Merlin. More specifically, Bradley James and Collin Morgan and their epic bromance. Last week I discovered what is quite possibly one of the greatest videos of all time:
It's perfect for laughing and swooning, although the song gets stuck in your head. In a major way. I'm also just generally fangirling over Colin/Bradley and Merlin/Arthur.
– Fanfiction:
Not a new one, I know, but at toong's party we were obsessing over our favourite fanfics and discovered by sheer coincidence, we both adored a drarry one but couldn't remember it's exact name. As she is an awesome best friend, I arrived home on Wednesday to an @reply with the link to what is quite possibly my favourite drarry fic of all time. It's long without being a novel, slashy without being 'zomggg gay sexxxx!', sticks to the epilogue but then makes changes, and is pretty much the most adorable thing ever. You should read it right now.
– Drarry:
Dear tumblr, please stop fueling my love for this couple. It's far past the point of normalcy now, and people give me the weirdest looks. That said, I love being an epic drarry fangirl, and when pics like this fill my dash, I get super happy that I'm not alone in my realisation and love.
– Team StarKid:
I love these guys insane amounts, and I'm devastated that they're all at Infinitus and I'm here. Sigh. AVPS premieres in a week (and I'm going to be at Toong's house for it!!) and last night I may or may not have downloaded a certain uncut version of AVPM (shhh :P). They're just so…epic. I follow a few starkid tumblrs, and the pics they post allow me to fangirl out without leaving my dash.
– One Tree Hill:
My friend Mal lent me Season Five on Tuesday, and it's love. I'll be honest and happily admit I have so far cried in every episode I've watched (I'm up to episode six), with the most intense sobbing coming just half an hour into the season premiere. It's such an amazing show. And Jamie is so cute! I wish I had a little kid that adorable in my life.
I'd love to add more Disney to this list, but let's be honest, at this moment the Disney world is positively dull. If nothing is happening, it's pretty hard to fangirl.
What's currently causing your fangirl/guy heart to flutter?
frangipani princess xoxo
ps. there aren't any pic credits 'cos they were all just on my computer. If it's yours or you have a problem, just email me.

We are blessed with some inspiring and talented young adults at Ignitum Today; a young mother determined to positively define feminism, an opinionated Victoria Advocate, a couple of teenage writers with Spirit-filled and mature pens, the wise and professional GADEL from Ghana, a mysterious college duo Ink and Quill, a father and mother who just welcomed the birth a daughter with Spina Bifida, a sharp-witted Paul Ryan fan who writes the blog that won Best New Blog at CPAC last year, two Bright Maidens, a husband and wife missionary team in Dominica, a Junior Fellow at First Things, Look! A Black Catholic!, a Canossian Sister, missionary, and nun who dabbles in graphics, music, techstuff, and loves to pray intercessory prayers for you…and the list goes on. That's only some of the contributors, and I will continue to introduce more of them to The American Catholic audience, they are truly inspiring. We have one major rule – no heresy! – and in spite of what some may think, no, of course we don't advocate burning heretics, just avoiding heresy as we shine the light of Christ into the world.
I know I'm bragging, but I'm so proud of all of them. Imagine what it's like to work with such a great group of young adults, and to wake up and read powerful messages like the following on a regular basis. This is from a 27 year old Army Special Forces Medical Sergeant, Ryan Kraeger, a cradle Catholic homeschool graduate stationed on the West Coast. His website is The Man Who Would Be Knight and he blogs here.
But you must read his latest, Hunger and Thirst. Please go read the whole thing, as a commenter said, it will stay with you for the rest of your life. I pray that priests who uphold the teaching of the Church are allowed to remain in service to our armed forces.
And God? God is the Sun! God is the boiling furnace of a thousand times a thousand suns, a blazing inferno (pun intended) of desire for me. God is the Love that exists from all eternity, Love that loved me into existence, Love that loves me into love with the Triune Love.
This is why I go to Communion! Not because I am so in love with God, but because He is eternally in love with me.
As of this writing I am facing the prospect of a very long time in a desert where there are no priests. At first this panicked me, but now I am at peace with it. The God who has worked so hard to bring me to Him (despite my best efforts to the contrary at times) will not abandon me. If it is His will to starve me for a year, or for the rest of my life, then starvation is what is best for me.
What saddens me, though, is the number of people who starve themselves…

13th November 2017
San Francisco's Tenaya Goldsen joined a conference of some of the world's biggest thinkers.
When I moved to San Francisco, just over four months ago, I suspected that technology would continue to be an evolving part of my everyday life – but I did not realize to what extent my relationship with technology would change. Lining up the media and engaging with executives for the intimate thought-leadership conference, Techonomy 2017, helped me to grapple with these big questions.
Growing up in Seattle, everyone's mother, brother, and second-cousin worked at either Microsoft or Amazon. Therefore, when you met a retired 40-something-year old you made an educated guess that they had bet their luck on college dropouts, Bill Gates and Paul Allen. Likewise, when I started high school in southern India, computer science and coding were part of everyday conversation and everyone's class schedule. At college, in the university hub of Boston, I learned about new research that would have never been possible even the year before. I considered myself interested and informed in tech news, but only to an extent.
This started to change as I walked down San Francisco's Market Street, on the first day of my post grad job. I was surrounded by an array of Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Uber, and Salesforce backpacks, and I realized the significance that comes with being encircled by, and working with, the companies that are changing the tech space. I heard more about AI in my first eight-hour day, than I had in 22 years. BART conversations were more interesting than university lectures – the topics ranged from global intelligence to robotics.
The tech clients I started working with at Grayling – from the largest crypto player to an insurtech upstart – are solving big problems, reaching the masses, and streamlining solutions. I knew that I had to consider this when homing in on improving my own PR skills and strategy.
But with this magical excitement in the air I was also faced with questions and debates – both internally and taking place all around me. As the lines between humans and tech continue to blur, when will it stop? Will my child be dropped off at school by an autonomous vehicle instead of by me? Will I get to pick the gender of this child? What about their hair color or if they are good at soccer? What jobs will be left in 10 years? How much do I want the masterminds of Facebook to know about me? Do I trust Alexa or unplug the device?
All these questions were placed right in my face like never before. They are hard to digest and previously, when I was removed from the Silicon Valley bubble, it was easier to just not think about such provocative challenges. But with my new territory I realized that not thinking was no longer an option – especially when working at a global PR agency catering to clients that all are impacted by technology.
Therefore, being placed on the Techonomy team during my first day at Grayling, and subsequently helping organize the Half Moon Bay conference, was more of a blessing than I realized. Attending the conference allowed me to listen to global leaders and join in on the thought-provoking Techonomy debates. The theme of the conference, The Convergence of Man and Machine, provided a framework to look at how tech is honestly changing everything, for arguably, everyone in the world.
I heard Mark Bertolini, CEO of Aetna, reflect on how giving Apple Watches will help insurers create apps to protect our health in the future. Outgoing Cisco chief John Chambers, explained why the US is falling behind other education systems. Savioke's Chief Robot Whisperer (yes that's really her title, along with CTO), Tessa Lau, suggested that AI will enhance productivity, and therefore, we must embrace change. However, with each discussion there was also the warning that we cannot get caught up and that we, as society – and specifically we in Silicon Valley – must work to make sure that tech is used for good, while continuing to look towards the future.
Working with the media at Techonomy – including reporters from CNET, Bloomberg and the New York Times – instilled in me the belief that the press is still truly curious about what is changing, and that they want to provide this information to society. This first-hand realization made me excited to work with these reporters in the future.
As I continue to work across the technology sector I believe that the conversations I was a part of at Techonomy 2017 will help me to explore creative ideas with my clients and with the with whom journalists I interact. As a PR professional, the conference made me motivated to help define how the public views this evolving world. Most importantly though, being a part of the conference helped me to understand that everyone – even the leaders of Fortune 500 companies – have no idea what is coming next in the tech space or how society will react to today's discoveries.

I'm using a wonderful program called ExifTool to recursively rename a large batch of files.
Here is example usage:
$ exiftool -r -ext JPG '-FileName<CreateDate' -d %Y%m%d_%H%M%S.jpg .
Error: './folder1/110310_135433.jpg' already exists - ./folder1/source.jpg
Warning: No writable tags found - ./folder2/110404_095111.jpg
68 directories scanned
1650 image files updated
5 image files unchanged
2 files weren't updated due to errors
When processing very large batches of images, the number of files not updated due to errors is often in the hundreds, therefore moving each file individually with
mv is out of the question.
I'd like to simultaneously move the files with errors/warnings to a separate directory for further processing.
I need to extract the paths of the problem files from the terminal output and move them together, but I'm not sure how to achieve this.
How would I go about this?
For what it's worth, I am using Ubuntu 11.10.

MICROSOFT FOUNDATION CLASS LIBRARY : FixedSizePanels
AppWizard has created this FixedSizePanels application for you. This application
not only demonstrates the basics of using the Microsoft Foundation classes
but is also a starting point for writing your application.
This file contains a summary of what you will find in each of the files that
make up your FixedSizePanels application.
This file (the project file) contains information at the project level and
is used to build a single project or subproject. Other users can share the
project (.dsp) file, but they should export the makefiles locally.
This is the main header file for the application. It includes other
project specific headers (including Resource.h) and declares the
CFixedSizePanelsApp application class.
This is the main application source file that contains the application
class CFixedSizePanelsApp.
This is a listing of all of the Microsoft Windows resources that the
program uses. It includes the icons, bitmaps, and cursors that are stored
in the RES subdirectory. This file can be directly edited in Microsoft
Visual C++.
This file contains information used by ClassWizard to edit existing
classes or add new classes. ClassWizard also uses this file to store
information needed to create and edit message maps and dialog data
maps and to create prototype member functions.
This is an icon file, which is used as the application's icon. This
icon is included by the main resource file FixedSizePanels.rc.
This file contains resources that are not edited by Microsoft
Visual C++. You should place all resources not editable by
the resource editor in this file.
For the main frame window:
MainFrm.h, MainFrm.cpp
These files contain the frame class CMainFrame, which is derived from
CFrameWnd and controls all FixedSizePanels frame features.
This bitmap file is used to create tiled images for the toolbar.
The initial toolbar and status bar are constructed in the CMainFrame
class. Edit this toolbar bitmap using the resource editor, and
update the IDR_MAINFRAME TOOLBAR array in FixedSizePanels.rc to add
toolbar buttons.
Other standard files:
StdAfx.h, StdAfx.cpp
These files are used to build a precompiled header (PCH) file
named FixedSizePanels.pch and a precompiled types file named StdAfx.obj.
This is the standard header file, which defines new resource IDs.
Microsoft Visual C++ reads and updates this file.
Other notes:
AppWizard uses "TODO:" to indicate parts of the source code you
should add to or customize.
If your application uses MFC in a shared DLL, and your application is
in a language other than the operating system's current language, you
will need to copy the corresponding localized resources MFC42XXX.DLL
from the Microsoft Visual C++ CD-ROM onto the system or system32 directory,
and rename it to be MFCLOC.DLL. ("XXX" stands for the language abbreviation.
For example, MFC42DEU.DLL contains resources translated to German.) If you
don't do this, some of the UI elements of your application will remain in the
language of the operating system.

DESSAUER, FERDINAND (DESSOIR, FERDINAND AUGUST):(Redirected from DESSOIR, LUDWIG.)
German actor; son of Leopold Dessauer; born at Breslau Jan. 29, 1836; died in Dresden April 15, 1892. He was trained for the stage by Werner Mannheim, and made his début in 1852 as the Prince in "Dorf und Stadt." In the following year he went to Mayence, where he remained until 1855, when he appeared at Heidelberg. Vienna was his next engagement, in 1856; followed in 1857 by Stettin; 1857-61, Leipsic; 1861-63, Bremen; 1863-64, Weimar. From 1864 to 1867 he played at the Hoftheater, Berlin; after which he returned to Weimar, in 1868. He next went to the Lobetheater, Breslau, in 1868-69. The following seven years were spent at the Hoftheater, Dresden; from 1877 to 1878 at the Thalia Theater, Hamburg; from 1878 to 1879 at the Residenz Theater, Dresden; and in 1880 he played at Prague.
Dessauer became insane during a performance, and never acted again. His principal rôles were Kaufmann Bloom, Mephisto, Falstaff, Muley Hassan, Riccaut, Chalisac, and Hans Lange.

The Face Shop is a Korean Brand – and if I'm honest I don't know how to define it! It has a lot of eco friendly ideas (I notice a pattern here with Innisfree and Skinfood too!) – very food based, very natural sounding, even if it is not!
Anyway I love looking for blackhead solutions even though my favourite one is now discontinued. The Face Shop's Blackhead Clean Up Kit seemed like a gentle alternative.
You get a clean up gel toner (40ml) and a quick tightening cream (15ml) to apply after.
The Gel Toner contains mulberry extract and is supposed to soften the epidermis, dissolve blackheads and get your skin really clean. You take a few pumps and apply it to the the nose. Leave for 10 minutes then rinse off and apply the cream after…
The cream controls shine and sebum secretion and prevents blackheads from forming.
You will find that a lot of blackhead products come in 2 or 3-steps.
The gel is a clear, slightly liquid texture. It won't run everywhere but it is not thick enough to slap on and leave without some tissue about.
Please – I am not going to present you with my blackheads. But this stuff did an OK job. After washing it off, some blackheads were easier to squeeze out – this didn't bring it to the surface.
Then my nose was quite soft with no peeling at all (which harsher products do). Having said that other than a good cleanse I didn't think this product was all that.
Some ladies I know have used this as a CLEANSER all over – I don't think that's economical at all but reported that it helps with the appearance of pores. I think it did…ok. Once again just not bowled over, sorry. But overall I really like The Face Shop 🙂
I bought this from eBay.

The reality show craze has spawned erudite academic theses and furious op-ed pieces; entertainments both cerebral ("The Truman Show") and visceral ("The Hunger Games"); and still more reality shows. Now, miraculously, it has inspired a terrific new American musical. The Old Globe's smart, tuneful "Nobody Loves You" skewers a crackpot TV dating competition without losing sight of the genuinely yearning, burning hearts on either side of the small screen. Delighted audiences in San Diego, and surely elsewhere for years to come, will eagerly hand everyone involved a rose.
Satire requires truthfulness, a ubiquitous quality here beginning with titular "NLY" itself, a preposterous mash-up of "Big Brother," "The Bachelor" and "The Bachelorette" with a little "Real World" and "Survivor" on the side. Handpicked hopefuls interact in hot tubs and relay races to court fandom and earn another week of love seeking, but no antics cooked up by librettist Itamar Moses are so ridiculous as to challenge our belief that, yes, this could actually get aired and thrive.
Then, when cynical, conflicted philosophy grad student Jeff (Adam Kantor, excellent) jealously pursues his ex into auditions and gets picked, we readily buy his decision to stick it out and remain aloof from the overheated hijinks to tease out his doctorate thesis. Would a show tottering in the ratings willingly invite a viper into its bosom? Yep, we buy that too, and we never doubt America would take Jeff to heart when flirtation with ambitious P.A. Jenny (wonderful Jenni Barber) changes all the rules and goes viral.
Playwright Moses has long toyed with multiple layers of ambiguous reality, but in works like "The Four of Us" and "Completeness" his self-conscious metatheatrical conceits seemed fearful of letting tender feelings breathe. Now sparked by collaborator Gaby Alter's infectious melodies and a juicy satiric target he needn't back away from, Moses puts it all together.
Points are scored on slick, sly "NLY" showrunner Nina (superb Nicole Lewis) and fatuous host Byron (Heath Calvert, perfect) even as we're induced truly to care about the contestants' various real and "meta-real" feints and retreats. As Jeff gets sucked into the game in spite of himself, he poses a key question — "Can one perform and connect at the same time?" — which couples will debate on the way home and for days after.
The flawless ensemble assembled by casting director Stephanie Klapper demonstrates boundless charm within helmer Michelle Tattenbaum's droll, understated style. Familiar types like the resident drunken slut (Lauren Molina), Christian do-gooder (Kelsey Kurz) and repressed schoolmarm (Kate Morgan Chadwick) win laughs and empathy without courting condescension.
Heaviest comic lifting is shouldered by the extraordinary Alex Brightman. All the show's doubling is impeccable, but he's particularly indistinguishable, and priceless, as Jeff's stoner pal; then a strutting "NLY" guido; and finally a gay homeviewer whose delighted sung Tweets invite us into realityland's inexhaustible appeal.
If too many of Alter's songs fall away without a plangent button, they're too sunny and infused with pop romantic desire for anyone to care, especially as managed by Vadim Feichtner and his unseen snappy combo. Alter and Moses' best lyrics go to the marvelous Kantor and Barber, from their list of shared antipathies in "So Much to Hate" — a perfect way to kick off a relationship — to the sweet ballad "I Think I Love You for Real."
"So You Think You Can Dance" choreographer Mandy Moore designs TV-savvy physical moves to match the emotional authenticity. She and lighting designer Tyler Micoleau, who bathes even us in a rosy glow as befitting a very special finale episode, are two of the evening's unsung stars. But as "Nobody Loves You" demonstrates, we're all stars. We just need our moment to prove it.

There are two goals to reach in order to make your program architecture-independent. One of them is internal consistency, i.e. making sure that all the types used in the program are inter-consistent regardless of whether the code is being compiled on a 32-bit or 64-bit machine. Let's look at sizes of the basic types on both architectures (see Table 1).
The notable difference here is change of sizes of pointer types and long type. Because of size changes some code built upon implicit dependencies might not migrate correctly. Possible problems are mostly related to data interchange between integers and other integers or pointers.
Discrepancies of Integer Sizes
On 32-bit system, int and long types are both 32-bit, which means that programmers may use both types interchangeably. Furthermore, C does not have strict typing rules so int parameters in a function may be passed long parameter without error. While this is not a good coding practice, this code might work flawlessly for years. However in 64-bit system int and long have different sizes and the code would not work correctly after migration.
Furthermore, assigning long values to int variables may cause truncation. The following code would work fine in 32-bit systems, but not in 64-bit systems.
int sum; long val1, val2; sum = val1 + val2; // possible truncation in 64-bit system
The following code will probably cause compiler warnings in some compilers, but this code, which would work in 32-bit mode would not work in 64-bit mode because sizes of values on the stack change.
int add(int parm1, int parm2); // ..... long val1, val2; long sum = add(val1,val2); // mismatch of parm size on 64-bit machine
Some other subtle things may happen that would affect the integrity of the code. For example, compile-time function sizeof() returns result of the type size_t, which has the size of the pointer. Assigning this value to the integer may lead to possible (if not very likely) truncation.
int mySize = sizeof(MyStructure); // possible size truncation
Some other subtle things may happen that would affect integrity of the code. For example, compile-time function sizeof() returns a result of the type size_t, which has the size of the pointer.
Another even more subtle error is sign extension for bit fields. For example:
struct Mask { unsigned int flags:20, width:12; }; struct Mask myMask; myMask.flags = 0x80000; unsigned long bigFlags = (myMask.flags << 12);
On a 32-bit machine, unsigned value 0x80000 would turn into 0x80000000 after a shift, and after an assignment to unsigned long, it would produce the same value 0x80000000.
Consequently, on a 64-bit machine, you would expect that value 0x80000000 will be assigned to an unsigned long and would become 0x0000000080000000.
However, the resulting value will be 0xFFFFFFFF80000000. It doesn't seem to make much sense, but that's what the sequence of statements above will actually produce.
Since there is no inherent 20-bit integer type, myMask.flags will be promoted automatically to 32-bit. Since we need only 20 bits, there is room for a sign bit. Therefore flags will be promoted to int -- not to unsigned int -- because of implicit conversion rules (ISO C). If this value later gets assigned to unsigned long, the sign bit gets propagated.
While we cannot change the default behavior of the C compiler, we can be aware of its behavior and prevent this type of error by implicit casting:
unsigned long bigFlags = (unsigned int)(myMask.flags << 12);
Casting Between Pointers and Integers
While casting between pointers and integers is not considered a good programming practice (except for traditional casting of number 0 to a NULL pointer), it is still widely used. Casting between pointers and integers is error-prone and could create portability problems when moving from 32-bit to 64-bit architectures.
There is a safe way of converting integers to pointers and back without explicit casting. These macros only cast a constant 0 into a pointer.
#define INT2PTR(type,n) ((type *)(((char*)0)+(n))) #define PTR2INT(p) (((char*)p)-((char*)0)) char* p = INT2PTR(char,160); // creating a char pointer with address 160 size_t displ = PTR2INT(&obj1); // getting numeric value of the address
These macros use pointer arithmetic and don't make any assumptions about relative sizes of pointers and numeric values. These macros are architecture-independent and will work on every system. Usage of these kinds of macros will eliminate virtually all pointer-related issues, reducing most portability problems to integer issues described in the previous paragraph.
If it is impractical to get rid of direct casts between integers and pointers, many of the issues related to integers might be also relevant to pointers.
Structures for Inter-program Communication.
While memory sizes and layouts may be different between different architectures, the same code may work properly on each of the architectures. Pointers would be 4 bytes long on 32-bit machines and 8 bytes long on 64-bit machines, but as long as those sizes are relevant only to the running processes, there is no problem.
However sometimes programs need to communicate with the outside world using binary data. Data written by 32-bit program might be read by 64-bit program. In such cases, the input/output binary structures should contain only those types that are immune to 32-bit to 64-bit migration.
There are two types of integer types ;- "conceptual" types and "physical" types. The first group, conceptual, is mostly defined in sys/types.h. It includes types like uint, u_char, u_long, size_t, uid_t, and many other types. The purpose of the types is to represent logic and meaning of those types without emphasizing any physical characteristics like size, signedness, etc. While these types are quite useful within one system, they should not be used when binary data is passed to a different system.
For example, if a structure written to the file has binary fields, those fields have a fixed size regardless of which system is going to read them. Shared structures between systems MUST explicitly specify size of the fields. For this purpose there is a header inttypes.h, which contains available types with explicit size. These types might be implemented using different base types on each system, but they guarantee appropriate sizes of the fields regardless of the system. Those types include uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, uint64_t, etc. All output structures should enforce using only these types to make code immune to migration.
Rules for Padding
While not exactly related to 32/64-bit issues, a related problem involves structures and padding. Structures are normally padded to a certain boundary. For example, if a one-byte character field is followed by a four byte word, the compiler adds three slack bytes so that the four byte word has a displacement which is a multiple of four. Alignment is defined normally through compiler options. Therefore, structures that are common between 32-bit and 64-bit machines must have matching compiler alignment settings.

Quincy Jones Thought The Beatles Were 'The Worst' When He First Heard Them
Quincy Jones is a music legend and one of the most successful and prolific pop music producers and executives of all-time.
After making a name for himself as a jazz musician in the '50s, Jones began forging his legend as an arranger, film composer, impresario and then a producer for the likes of Frank Sinatra, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Michael Jackson and many others.
In a new interview with Vulture, Jones gave his thoughts on a variety of subjects, including music, politics, race and gender.
When asked about his first impression of The Beatles, Jones responded that he thought "they were the worst musicians in the world. They were no-playing motherf---ers. [Paul McCartney] was the worst bass player I ever heard. And [Ringo Starr]? Don't even talk about it."
Jones went on to talk about it, relating an anecdote about being in the studio with Beatles producer George Martin and Ringo, circa 1970 (right in the middle of Ringo's alcohol and drug-abusing years).
Jones says Ringo was taking all day to fix just four bars on a song, when Jones and Martin asked Ringo to take a break for dinner.
"...[We] called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer. Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, 'George, can you play it back for me one more time?' So George did, and Ringo says, 'That didn't sound so bad.' And I said, 'Yeah, motherf---er, because it ain't you.' Great guy, though."
In fact, Jones says he wasn't a fan of much rock music at all, saying he used to look at it as just "a white version of rhythm and blues."
He recalled Jimi Hendrix canceling a session on one of Jones' albums because Hendrix was "nervous to play with Toots Thielemans, Herbie Hancock, Hubert Laws, Roland Kirk..."
Jones conceded, though, that he "used to like Clapton's band. What were they called?"
Jones also accused Michael Jackson of being "as Machiavellian as they come," saying the King of Pop stole a lot of music that turned into his biggest hits.
He also dismissed rap music as boring, and modern pop as being devoid of innovation.
Jones is the subject of a coming Netflix documentary and a CBS special to be hosted by Oprah Winfrey.
