Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (or UEFI for short ) is a new type of firmware that was initially designed by Intel (as EFI) mainly for its Itanium based systems. It introduces new ways of booting an OS that is distinct from the commonly used "MBR boot code" method followed for BIOS systems. It started as Intel's EFI in versions 1.x and then a group of companies called the UEFI Forum took over its development from which it was called Unified EFI starting with version 2.0 . As of 22 May 2010, UEFI Specification 2.3 is the most recent version.
Note: Unless specified as EFI 1.x , EFI and UEFI terms are used interchangeably to denote UEFI 2.x firmware. Also unless stated explicitely, the instructions are general and not Mac specific. Some of them may not work or may be different in Macs. Apple's EFI implementation is neither a EFI 1.x version nor UEFI 2.x version but includes features of both. This kind of firmware does not fall under any one UEFI version so it is not a standard EFI firmware.

Booting an OS using BIOS
A BIOS or Basic Input-Output System is the very first program that is executed once the system is switched on. After all the hardware are initialized and the POST operation is completed, the BIOS executes the first boot code in the first device in the device booting list.
If the list starts with a CD/DVD drive, then the El-Torito entry in the CD/DVD is executed. This is how bootable CD/DVD works. If the list starts with a HDD, then BIOS executes the very first 440 bytes MBR boot code. The boot code then chainloads or bootstraps a much larger and complex bootloader which then loads the OS.
Basically, the BIOS does not know how to read a partition table or filesystem. All it does is initialize the hardware, then load and run the 440-byte boot code.
Multi-booting using BIOS
Since very little can be achieved by a program which fits into the 440-byte boot code area, multi-booting using BIOS requires a multi-boot capable bootloader (multi-boot refers to booting multiple operating systems, not to booting a kernel in the Multiboot format specified by the GRUB developers). So usually a common bootloader like GRUB or LILO would be loaded by the BIOS, and it would load an operating system by either chain-loading or directly loading the kernel.
Booting an OS using UEFI
UEFI firmware does not support booting through the above mentioned method which is the only way supported by BIOS. UEFI has support for reading both the partition table as well as understanding filesystems.
The commonly used UEFI firmwares support both MBR and GPT partition table. EFI in Apple-Intel Macs are known to support Apple Partition Map also apart from MBR and GPT. Most of the UEFI firmwares have support for accessing FAT12 (floppy disks) , FAT16 and FAT32 filesystems in HDD and ISO9660 (and UDF) in CD/DVDs. EFI in Apple-Intel Macs can access HFS/HFS+ filesystems also apart from the mentioned ones.
UEFI does not launch any boot code in the MBR whether it exists or not. Instead it uses a special partition in the partition table called "EFI SYSTEM PARTITION" in which files required to be launched by the firmware is stored. Each vendor can store its files under <EFI SYSTEM PARTITION>/EFI/<VENDOR NAME>/ folder and can use the firmware or its shell (UEFI shell) to launch the boot program. An EFI System Partition is usually formatted as FAT32.
Under UEFI, every program whether they are OS loaders or some utilities (like memory testing apps) or recovery tools outside the OS, should be a UEFI Application corresponding to the EFI firmware architecture. Most of the UEFI firmware in the market, including recent Apple Macs use x86_64 EFI firmware. Only some older macs use i386 EFI firmware while no non-Apple UEFI system is known to use i386 EFI firmware.
A x86_64 EFI firmware does not include support for launching 32-bit EFI apps unlike the 64-bit Linux and Windows which include such support. Therefore the bootloader must be compiled for that architecture correctly.
Multi-booting using UEFI
Since each OS or vendor can maintain its own files within the EFI SYSTEM PARTITION without afffecting the other, multi-booting using UEFI is just a matter of launching a different UEFI application corresponding to the particular OS's bootloader. This removes the need for relying on chainloading mechanisms of one bootloader to load another to switch OSes.
Multi-booting Linux on UEFI with Windows
Windows Vista (SP1+) and 7 x64 versions support booting natively using UEFI firmware. But for this they need GPT partitioning of the HDD used for UEFI booting. Windows x64 versions support either UEFI-GPT booting or BIOS-MBR booting. Windows 32-bit versions support only BIOS-MBR booting. Follow the instructions provided in the forum link given in the references sections as to how to do this.
This limitation does not exist in Linux as linux supports all 4 combinations of booting - UEFI-GPT, UEFI-MBR, BIOS-GPT, BIOS-MBR. If Linux and Windows are in the same HDD and boot using UEFI, then the linux bootloader must be configured to boot from GPT. This is a limitation of Windows, not Linux.
Linux Kernel Configuration for UEFI
In case of linux, kernel support for EFI is very important. The required kernel configurations for UEFI systems are :
Important UEFI related options -
CONFIG_EFI=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_FB_EFI=y CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE=y
GUID Partition Table config option - very important for UEFI
UEFI Runtime Services Support - 'efivars' kernel module - optional but 'm' recommended since it can cause booting in some Sandy Bridge UEFI systems if compiled in the kernel image itself.
CONFIG_EFI_VARS=m or y
Retrieved from http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/x86/x86_64/uefi.txt .
Note 1: For Linux to access UEFI Runtime Services, the UEFI Firmware processor architecture and the Linux kernel processor architecture must match. This is independent of the bootloader used and its compiled processor architecture.
Note 2: If the UEFI Firmware arch and Linux Kernel arch are different, then the "noefi" kernel parameter must be used to avoid the kernel panic and boot successfully. The "noefi" option instructs the kernel not to access the UEFI Runtime Services.
Note 3: If you experience issues booting your UEFI system, such as rebooting or a black screen you may need to use Linux 3.0 or greater. Known systems this effects, all Dell laptops, all Apple after 2010, and some Lenovo, as well as some ASUS (E-350?). See 13 in references.
Linux Bootloaders for UEFI
GRUB2 - Follow instructions in the GRUB2 wiki page link. For bzr development version try AUR package - Template:Package AUR.
GRUB-Legacy - Vanilla versions do not support UEFI, nor does Archlinux patched versions. Only Fedora's patched GRUB (efi-gpt patches from Intel) is known to support UEFI. grub-fedora git repo. AUR package - Template:Package AUR.
ELILO - LInux LOader for EFI - Still in development but at a slow pace. Config file similar to that of lilo. The only efi bootloader for Itaniun (IA64) systems. AUR package - Template:Package AUR.
EFILINUX - Reference Implementation of a x86_64 UEFI Linux Bootloader - Still in alpha phase. AUR package - Template:Package AUR.
Detecting UEFI Firmware Arch
If you have a non-mac UEFI system, then you have a x86_64 (aka 64-bit) UEFI 2.x firmware.
Some of the known x86_64 UEFI 2.x firmwares are Phoenix SecureCore Tiano, AMI Aptio, Insyde H2O.
Some of the known systems using these firmwares are Asus EZ Mode BIOS (in Sandy Bridge P67 and H67 motherboards), MSI ClickBIOS, HP EliteBooks, Sony Vaio Z series, many Intel Server and Desktop motherboards
Pre-2008 Macs mostly have i386-efi firmware while >=2008 Macs have mostly x86_64-efi. All macs capable of running Mac OS X Snow Leopard 64-bit Kernel have x86_64 EFI 1.x firmware.
To find out the arch of the efi firmware in a Mac, boot into Mac OS X and type the following command
ioreg -l -p IODeviceTree | grep firmware-abi
If the command returns EFI32 the it is i386 EFI 1.x firmware. If it returns EFI64 then it is x86_64 EFI 1.x firmware. Macs do not have UEFI 2.x firmware as Apple's efi implementation is not fully compliant with UEFI Specification.
UEFI Shell
The UEFI Shell is a shell/terminal for the firmware which allows launching uefi applications which include uefi bootloaders. Apart from that, the shell can also be used to obtain various other information about the system or the firmware like memory map (memmap), running partitioning programs (diskpart), loading uefi drivers, editing text files (edit), hexedit etc. You can download a BSD licensed UEFI Shell from Intel's Tianocore EDK2 Sourceforge.net project.
x86_64 UEFI Shell (Beta) - http://tianocore.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=tianocore/edk2;a=blob_plain;f=ShellBinPkg/UefiShell/X64/Shell.efi;hb=HEAD
x86_64 UEFI Shell (Old) - http://tianocore.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=tianocore/edk2;a=blob_plain;f=EdkShellBinPkg/FullShell/X64/Shell_Full.efi;hb=HEAD
i386 UEFI Shell (Beta) - http://tianocore.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=tianocore/edk2;a=blob_plain;f=ShellBinPkg/UefiShell/Ia32/Shell.efi;hb=HEAD
i386 UEFI Shell (Old) - http://tianocore.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=tianocore/edk2;a=blob_plain;f=EdkShellBinPkg/FullShell/Ia32/Shell_Full.efi;hb=HEAD
Use Beta Shell. If it does not work use Old shell. Few Asus and other AMI Aptio x86_64 UEFI firmware based motherboards (from Sandy Bridge onwards) provide an option called Launch EFI Shell from filesystem device . For those motherboards, download the x86_64 UEFI Shell and copy it to you EFI SYSTEM PARTITION as <EFI_SYSTEM_PARTITION>/shellx64.efi (mostly /boot/efi/shellx64.efi) .
Creating a UEFI SYSTEM PARTITION in Linux
For MBR partitioned disks :
Create a 200 MB FAT32 partition using GNU Parted/GParted. Change the type code of that partition to 0xEF using fdisk, cfdisk or sfdisk.
Create a 200 MB partition using fdisk with partition type 0xEF and format it as FAT32 using mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/<THAT_PARTITION>
For GPT partitioned disks :
Create a 200 MB FAT32 partition using GNU Parted/GParted. Set "boot" flag on for that partition.
Create a 200 MB partition using GPT fdisk (aka gdisk) with gdisk type code "EF00". Then format that partition as FAT32 using mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/<THAT_PARTITION>
Note 1: Setting "boot" flag in parted in a MBR partition marks that partition as active, while the same "boot" flag in a GPT partition marks that partition as "EFI System Partition".
Note 2: Do not use fdisk, cfdisk or sfdisk to change the type codes in a GPT disk. Do not use GPT fdisk on a MBR disk, it will be automatically converted to GPT (without data loss, but with boot failure).

Strangelove for Science Fiction
Wednesday, June 19, 2013
On 'Magical Realism'
"When you say fantasy you're always bringing up that doppelganger: science fiction. Magical Realism is not a very well-defined term, which is why I like it so much better than either fantasy or science fiction, both of which have strong connotations of dragons, rockets, aliens and so on. You can shove a great deal of fantasy and science fiction into the pockets of Magic Realism and leave the store and no-one will notice you. Magical Realism is like literary fiction running into a store and shoplifting the fantasy and science fiction."

Gee, thanks.
On the positive side, the inauguration of Barack Obama is the greatest thing to happen to America in this millennium. Of course, to have great, you usually need to have bad as a contrast, and boy, have we have had bad.
On a very local note, we're facing the imminent loss of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Voice of the Pacific Northwest Since 1863 – that is, when Washington was but a Territory and the Confederate States of America was actively pursuing diplomatic relations with Britain and Europe.
Along with the likely loss of Aubrey Cohen, who has been a friend to all interested in spouting off their beaks on matters pertaining to residential real estate.
Aubrey and I share mutual friends, and my esteem for these friends is such that I can say without reservation that I know Aubrey to be a wonderful fellow. I'm sure his talents will be put to better use than reporting on real estate, but then again, maybe that's really his passion in life – I don't know.
Last month, Aubrey asked me (and many many others), what I thought 2009 would bring.
When I first entered the business, real estate was not an interesting topic. Nobody wanted to talk to you about anything except what their property was worth, except to perhaps tell you what they thought of the price of some neighboring property. Real estate agents weren't divas, design experts, green- or eco- anything, they were just people who sold real estate.
My answer to Aubrey was incomplete. I knew that I felt that Real Estate would recede from the limelight. It seemed to me that there was no longer going to be an audience for a half-dozen or more cable networks showing reruns of Flip This, Remodel That, and Cash In The Other. Talk about bubbles – did anyone really think that over a hundred publications dedicated to home decorating, remodeling, and design would be able to survive even in a rising market?
And real estate had gone from being a pleasant topic of conversation to a somewhat acrimonious topic, which is the kiss-of-death for cocktail-party talk.
So, here we are. I, for one, am hoping for the best. For the P-I, for Aubrey, for our readers, and for the entire world. The dawn of the New Millennium was a time of great hope and optimism. It's been a rough eight years, even for those who have made money in real estate. Let's make something positive happen, shall we?

McClintock Staffer Birman To Formally Enter Congressional Race Tomorrow
September 4, 2013 |
In what is quickly becoming a crowded field, congressional staffer Igor Birman is expected to formally announce his candidacy tomorrow for California's 7th Congressional District.
According to a Facebook posting, Birman will make his formal announcement at Folson's Outdoor Amphitheater at 10 a.m Thursday. Birman is a senior staff member for Congressman Tom McClintock (R-Elk Grove).
Birman's expected announcement comes on the heels of former Congressman Doug Ose's entry into the race. Birman joins fellow Republicans Ose and Elizabeth Emken as they attempt to unseat freshman Congressman Dr. Ami Bera (D-Elk Grove).
All four current candidates will face-off in the June primary and the top two vote-getters regardless of party affiliation will advance to the November run-off.

Music Is My Sanctuary Guide to the 2015 Montreal Jazz Fest
The 36th edition of the Montreal International Jazz Festival is upon us and we here at MIMS have taken it upon ourselves to recommend some of our favorite acts & live shows for you to make the most out of these 10 days of musical madness. We are also taking part in the festivities with our 8th anniversary celebration at Metropolis on July 4th! (Details below)
Friday June 26th
Theo Croker
A young trumpeter who benefited from the teaching and mentoring of legends such as Donald Byrd, Marcus Belgrave & Gary Bartz is launching his new Afro-Physicist record produced by Dee Dee Bridgewater. These young jazz musicians with broader horizons and roots to the spiritual past are leading the way in what jazz has become, so take a ride and discover this fresh new sound.
Heart Streets
One of our favorite new groups from Montreal, the two girls from Heart Streets have been doing their thing for a few years now and it's only a matter of time before they make it big. We're looking forward to seeing how their live show has evolved as they keep gaining confidence. A lovely mix of R&B and Rap.
It's no secret one of the hottest weekly spots in Montreal is Thrusday's at Bleury with #LeCypher jam-session that easily fuses hip-hop,jazz,soul and modern R-n-B. The unmistakable energy of seasoned performers putting together a live set of improvised jams and funky covers of modern classics is being brought live to Jazz fest for many nights during the Festival.
Saturday June 27th
Las Cafeteras
Las Cafeteras is a Chicano band from East Los Angeles, California.Their music fuses spoken word, with traditional Son Jarocho, Afro-Mexican music and zapateado dancing. Everything you like about the spoken word afro-soul scene here in Montreal but from an Afro-Mexican perspective and with live dancing the performances are sure to be captivating and deep.
Speakeasy Electro Swing
Swingers are ready to be served the best in Electro-swing, Balkan beats and house remix of music from the 40s with wild live dancing it's a pretty unique experience.
Stanley Clarke
You simply can't miss the chance to hear this virtuo bassist and legend of Jazz Fusion.
One of the most exciting young groups in Jazz right now. The anglo-scandinavian trio are back at the MTL Jazz Fest but we've never seen them here. And considering we play their tracks very often at our nights we can't miss their live show! Definitely in our top 5 most anticipated shows.
Sunday June 28th
Rachel Therrien Quintet
Montreal trumpeter and composer Rachel Therrien has managed to accomplish a lot in a short time. Travelling the world from Cuba to Columbia and leading many creative workshops you can expect exceptional and creative jazz from this quintet.
Robert Glasper Trio
The man returns to Montreal in trio form this time which will lead to a very interesting evening. Not to say that this is closer to more traditional jazz roots but I can't wait to see and hear how the trip from the success of the Robert Glasper Experiment back to the core of Glasper's jazz beginnings will pan out and where it will lead the audience.
Jai Nitai Lotus
Long-time emcee and producer Jai Nitai Lotus always brings tremendous energy to the Jazz Fest stage with banging beats, great vocal backing and awesome lyricism this will be a high octane live hip-hop performance .
Ikebe Shakedown
We had the chance of playing with these guys (and Soul Jazz Orchestra) a year ago in Montreal and these guys absolutely destroyed it. This is for all the Soul-Jazz-Afro-Funk heads!
Monday June 29th
Heads of State (Gary Bartz, Buster Williams, Larry Willis, Al Foster)
Four giants of Jazz music unite for a listening experience for the most discerning jazz heads!
Erykah Badu
No need for an explanation on this one, but I may add that Badu may be one of the best live acts form the Neo-Soul world. Theatricality, emotion and pure soul will be on the menu with Charles Hamilton as an appetizer. Get ready to grind and swoon in a more intimate Place-des-Arts setting.
Nomadic Massive
The most upbeat and inspiring International Montreal HipHop Crew is back to rock the JazzFest stage. With a new album in the works the nomads will no doubt destroy the stage as always.
Gogo Penguin
Along with Phronesis and BadBadNotGood (also performing), UK's Gogo Penguin are amongst our favorite young jazz groups. The young trio draws influences from electronic music, trip-hop and deep jazz. This one is also in our top 5 most anticipated shows.
Tuesday June 30th
Wayne Shorter
Saxophone legend Wayne Shorter is the perfect pick of established artist for the Jazz Fest because of his creativity and risk taking internationally influenced compositions.
Snarky Puppy
Grammy award winning Snarky Puppy are sure to bring the funk and they have collaborated with many of Montreal's most taented singers so I am convinced the show will be extra special and full of surprises.
Also highly recommended: Detroit MC (adopted Montrealer) Illa J and local caribbean funkster Wesli (back from a worldwide tour) will also have great free outdoor shows to offer
Wednesday July 1st
Charles Bradley
I have seen Charles Bradley live and to this day it stands out to me as one of the greatest musical experiences I have witnessed. The quality of the music is unmatched of course but it's the sheer emotion of a life of suffering and simple joys of Bradley being so appreciative to be on stage as well a the raw energy emanating from the veteran that has touched audiences worldwide. Opening act is awesome and pick up a record or two from the Daptone merch table.
Blending Afro-peruvian grooves with electronic music this veteran band has taken the cumbia amazonica sound to the 21st century.
Thursday July 2nd
Busty and the Bass
This high-octane funk band made up of McGill alumni has been rocking shows and getting some well deserved shine in NYC don't miss their homecoming show. As far as retro-funk they are the real deal.
Also recommended is the R&B singer Melanie Durrant and Montreal's own Face-T, veteran of the reggae & dancehall scene and frequent collaborator with our good friend Poirier.
Friday July 3rd
Heavy Soundz
Montreal collective Heavy Soundz fuse hip-hop, latin drums and get the party exploding whenever they hit the stage with their full instrumental ensemble.
Montreal premier of the documentary on the highly influential and genre-bending bass player Jaco Pastorius
Also highly recommended is Toronto's Elizabeth Shepherd, a great jazz and soul singer.
Saturday July 4th
Hichem Khalfa 5tet
Montreal trumpeter Hichem Khalfa has assembled a quintet with musicians as talented and focused as he is. A true gem of a group to discover.
Music Is My Sanctuary 8th year Anniversary
Mick Jenkins, Ghostface Killah, BADBADNOTGOOD + DJ set from Lexis (Hosted by Boogat)
Each year we try to celebrate our anniversary in style with some great guests (year 4 was Lefto, 5 was Jazzanova at the Jazz Fest, 6 was Kode9 and last year was Leon Vynehall at Piknic Electronic). This promises to be our best birthday jam yet with an absolutely loaded lineup! The first part of the show is paid and from midnight to 3am it will be a Free dance floor party! We hope to see you there! (Details)
Sunday July 5th
BBking tribute
The Jazz Fest is synonymous with the Blues and BB is one of the most prestigious artists that has graced its stage. Pay homage to a legend and give him the send off he deserves
SoulJazz Orchestra
Ottawa Afrobeat band extraordinaire SoulJazz Orchestra will be back for two can't miss performances. They pack the Afrobeat punch but bring a unique almost psychedelic flavor to the mix and the band is so tight that the result is stunning.
Series Compositeurs Jazz

Controlling Project and File Properties with C++ Macros
Examine a C++ macro that changes a file (within a managed project) from managed (/clr) to unmanaged—a task you may need it to perform for performance reasons, creating a mixed executable.
Examine a C++ macro that changes a file (within a managed project) from managed (/clr) to unmanaged—a task you may need it to perform for performance reasons, creating a mixed executable.
Take a look at some of the C++ language changes awaiting you in the next version of Visual Studio.
This column presents a macro for use with a class that implements one or more interfaces. When you run the macro, it adds empty function bodies for all the functions in the interface.
Add-ins are usually written in C++ (although you can create them in any .NET language) and macros are written in Visual Basic only... but not any more. Discover new options.
Learn how to add a button to a server application (a WinForm app with a big Listen button) and have the handler for the click event raise a custom event.
Remoting is one of the three techniques available on the CLR for creating distributed applications.
A feature under discussion may not be part of Standard C++, but if it's part of Managed C++, why go to C# to have it? If you're willing to target the .NET Framework and write a managed application, why not write in Managed C++?
Here's a little Object-Oriented question: If I have a function f in my base class, say that takes an integer, and I write an overload of that function in a derived class that takes something different, can I still call the original function that was inherited from the base class? The answer might surprise you.
Have you ever wondered if you could use keywords such as Property and Delegate in your C++ applications? You can, but it's not always obvious how to do so.
STL, String, StringBuilder, character arrays — How do you get the best performance when working with strings?
The libraries in the .NET Framework cover almost every task you are likely to tackle when developing for .NET. Learn how to use them from this chapter from the Visual C++ .NET 2003 Kick Start.
Benchmarking is not for the faint of heart—you have to know what you're measuring. Don't always believe that Java is faster than VB.NET, nor that C# is faster than C++.
For years, writing a service meant writing in Visual C++. Well, now you can learn how they are super easy to make in Managed C++ as well as VB .NET or C#!
Take your .NET development one step farther with Microsoft Office System projects.
Learn to use the web.config file to configure anything you'd like the user to be able to change without recompiling and redeploying your C++ application.
Learn how to arrange custom marshaling for function parameter when using P/Invoke to access a legacy function from Visual C++.
Learn about some of the changes to Visual C++ .NET, the compiler, and related developer tools coming in 'Whidbey'.
Learn why you need P/Invoke if you would like to control the marshaling or conversions associated with a call to a function where data types may need to be converted.
Yes, you can leave your legacy C++ class as native code and still use it from C# or Visual Basic .NET.
Make that old legacy C++ code available to managed code — It's a lot less work than you might expect!
Learn how to wrap your legacy C++ code into a DLL and then call it from both managed and unmanaged code.
Learn how to convert an ordinary unmanaged C++ class to a COM component, and then use that COM component from both unmanaged and managed code.
Chances are, if you are using C++ and moving to .NET, you won't want to rewrite all your existing C++ code. Kate begins a series of articles on the various ways you can reuse old C++ code in new Managed C++ projects.
C++ templates are like a secret weapon for developers. Those who never got around to learning C++ because 'it's really complicated' and 'it has all kinds of funky features no one would ever use' have no idea what we can do with templates. Now to learn about templates and the dramatic improvements in Visual C++ .NET!
If you're writing a new Managed C++ application and you're thinking of using collections in that code, you may be unsure whether to use STL collections or a class from the Base Class Library. Learn your choices.
With the release of Visual Studio .NET, many developers are now willing to consider using the new technology known as managed code. But especially for C++ developers, it can be a bit confusing. That's because C++ is special.
Microsoft announced a potentially serious bug that affects only Visual C++ developers using VS.NET 2002 and VS.NET 2003 to create mixed DLLs. While only a few may be impacted by this, all Visual C++ programmers should be aware of it.
Does a simple C++ application compile to the same IL as the equivalent VB or C# application in .NET? Let's see.
When using Managed C++, be aware that boxing and unboxing values so that you can use the Base Class Libraries carries a performance cost.
Previously Kate showed how to use the ATL CImage class to dramatically simplify working with images in classic C++ applications. This time around, she creates the an application as a Managed C++ Windows application and uses System.Drawing.Image to do the heavy lifting.
Visual Studio .NET 2003 is of special interest to Visual C++ programmers, who get all kinds of neat stuff that was missing from the current released version.
With .NET, there's no excuse for skimping on security. When you build .NET applications, you get a lot of security code without writing it yourself. Kate presents the code you need to implement role based security using Managed C++.
Web services are the talk of the Net; however, there is little information on Web Services with Visual C++. Discover how to call a Web service asynchronously using Visual C++ .NET.
Tackle using Visual C++ .NET's managed code to parse, search, and generate XML. You'll use the help of the .NET Framework to produce the managed C++ code.
XML was changing everything before .NET came along. In Kate's newest article, she covers how to read, write, and transform XML using the Microsoft COM component called MSXML 4.
Web Services are the talk of the day. If you want to learn how to create a Web Service with Managed C++, then now is your chance!
Many people will tell you that you can't build a Windows Forms application in Visual C++ .NET. However, that's not strictly true.
Visual C++ .NET is not the same as Visual C++ 6.

I spoke to Melingo (finally ) yesterday. I will meet up with them some time over the next few weeks. Info so far: User agents.: what they call a screen reader , is a program were you have to copy the text into it and it will read it So their screen reader need vision. single installation NS4000 the average monthly salaried before tax and health insurance deductions is about NS5000 Average salary for a dyslexic is much lower. Don't ask about other disabilities I t does not help completely vision impaired people use of a similar tool on line as a web site exists (so they will not give us the right to do this) and costs NS 350 up a month for personal use - if you use it often it costs more. Again you need to copy and paste -it is not a portal. Authoring tools for the web owner to vowel the site It is a finished product but they do not have a fixed price- depends to who They have another product, that makes a mp3 of a reading of your page. The user clicks a button to get the reading. For Peaple who can not read you then can not tell were in the page to press, Peaple who can not see it is not useful. It helps low vision . According to their head of accessibility, this is based on ten years of research and is proprietary. My summary: In terms of helping at the user end we have two options. I can try to help Melingo t u rn their "screen reader" into a true screen reader - but it will be years until such a product is available. and will be expensive for the end user. Probably the best if slowest solution will be to sponsor research in the public domain at the Technion. Gregg, can you look into the possibility of raising financing ? Again it will take years for a partial solution. Solving the problem from the authors side is immediate and cost effective. In other words - It can solve the problem today, You can add the vowels for free without their tools in Unicode, you can buy word processor were you can put in the vowels, and I hope switching a week or two to put up a free JavaScript tool to make it doable to by anyone. Mac come with a similar tool. However acknowledging that for a large site this is an enormous amount of work - they can buy Nakdan from Melingo. The clincher for me is the fact that Nakdan does make mistakes. At the user end there is nothing to be done but confusion, because you do not know what the word was meant to be. At the author end you can easily correct your work using a word processor or free tool. Back to the checkpoint: I think the wording as it stands: 'Provide information needed for unambiguous decoding of the characters and words in the content' is perfect- when the user agent decipher the word correctly, then the checkpoint has been fulfilled automatically. When the user agents portal are unable to adds the vowels, then clearly not all the information needed for unambiguous decoding has been provided, and the responsibility falls on the web content provider . I am going to put up a site that goes through these issues from beginning to end. It may help....

Today's self-service is becoming more and more prevalent, spreading across channels from web to voice to text to social. It's a powerful, flexible form of service that more customers are using and businesses are adopting. In fact, over 50% of businesses today are using self-service, and 64% plan to invest in and extend it to other channels (texting, anyone?)
When it comes to balancing customer experience and operational efficiency, it can be really hard to get things right for your customers (and for your pockets). There are a lot of strategies, tools, consultants, methodologies and processes that you could be leveraging in order to operate your well-oiled machine (and of course you're already doing all of those things, right?).
But what if there were things right in front of your nose that aren't complicated, expensive or time-consuming, and could really make things easier and better for you and your customers?
That's what we want to address in this series, and first up: making your business phone smarter.

Contact centers need to get ready to get digital.
According to the 2015 Global Contact Centre Benchmarking Report by Dimension Data, digital interaction will outpace voice interaction within the next two years. Digital interactions currently comprise 35% of customer interactions: this includes IVR, text messaging, mobile applications, social media, websites, and more. This is in line with customers' demand for a seamless omnichannel experience, one that's more contextualized and personalized on every channel.
Many of today's top businesses offer a mobile app, and all of them are looking for downloads in an increasingly prevalent mobile market. There were an estimated 138 billion global app downloads in 2014, and that number is set to double to 270 billion in 2017. With over half of American consumers downloading around four apps a month, how can your business tap into the booming mobile app market and increase downloads?
Answer: promote downloads through text message and voice, the two most common activities done on a mobile device.

According to a recent Gartner report, "by 2015, at least 60% of Internet users will opt for mobile customer service applications as their first option." This is a significant shift that brings with it enormous challenges and opportunities. Companies and brands that honor this "mobile first" preference must understand the intimate relationship that people have with their mobile device, and how their brand experience on these devices will shape the relationship they are building with each individual.

Market veggies for the monkeys, Sunday in Jodhpur, Rajasthan.
If you love an image (whether it's yours or someone else's) and want to make sure others get a chance to see it, you can "feature" it by choosing the "Spotlight" button.
When an image is Spotlighted, it receives enhanced visibility in premium spots throughout the site. Spotlighted images are rotated through these higher-visibility positions to ensure the best opportunity for the images to be seen by JPG users.
If you see a great photo that would make a perfect entry for one of our Shoot Out photo contests but it was uploaded by another user, now you can enter that photo in the contest and, if it wins, you get to share in the contest winnings.
Like a photo editor, if you've got an eye for great work, find it and submit it to a contest. If it wins, since you staked the entry fee, you'll take home part of the prize (the rest, of course, goes to the member who shot the image).
Collections are a JPG+ feature. You must be a JPG+ member to create new collections and to add photos to collections.
Sign up for JPG+ to start using collections now!

Later, in Jodhpur, Rajasthan I went with a local friend on Sunday and shopped veggies at the market then offered them to monkeys at the park
In the story Monkey horror show.

The "New" Bankruptcy Law
In 2005, Congress enacted BAPCPA, the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention Consumer Protection Act, in light of the growth in bankruptcy filings and creditor outcry that debtors were supposedly "abusing" the bankruptcy system. The following major changes were made:
- You must qualify to file under Chapter 7. This was probably the biggest change in the bankruptcy law. The new law requires you to qualify to file under Chapter 7, the simplest, fastest form of bankruptcy, and which requires no payments to the court. (NOTE: The new law does NOT disqualify anyone from bankruptcy. The question is under which chapter they must file.) In order to prevent abuse, Congress wanted to make sure that those who filed for Chapter 7 really do not have enough money to pay some or all debts in Chapter 13. Qualification is based on your annualized "current monthly income" (CMI): an average of your gross income over the last six months before the filing. To qualify for Chapter 7 either: 1) Your CMI is below the median income for a household of your size in your state, or 2) Your net income, after standardized expenses based upon US Census data, is less than a specific minimum set by law (that is you qualify under this so-called "Means Test." You can use this calculator to estimate you eligibility, but since this is new law and under continuing interpretation by the courts, you should consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer to be sure regarding your eligibility.
- Pre-filing credit counseling requirement. To discourage debtors from filing for bankruptcy in the first place, Congress enacted a requirement that the debtor must do a session with an approved credit counseling agency to see if a debt management plan (DMP) can be worked out prior to filing for bankruptcy. You are not required to actually enter into and perform a debt management plan. Furthermore, in the vast majority of case, no feasible debt management plan can be created anyway. However, if you as a debtor do not fulfill this requirement and do not provide a certificate to the court your case will be dismissed.
- Post-filing financial management course. To discourage debtors from re-filing for bankruptcy more than once, Congress enacted a requirement that the debtor take a post-financial management course (PFM) prior to receiving a discharge in the case. If you as a debtor do not fulfill this requirement your case will be closed without a discharge. Most debtors are reporting to this firm that the personal financial management course is useful.
- Increase time between re-filings. Congress has increased the amount of time you must wait to file consecutive Chapter 7 filings that will discharge your debts from six to eight years. Likewise, where before one could file for Chapter 13 relief immediately after obtaining a discharge in Chapter 7. Now that person must wait four years, and two years if the prior discharge was in a Chapter 13 case.
- Reduce Debtor's Options to Deal With Collateral. The new law reduced debtor's flexibility to "cram down" (reduce or eliminate liens) on collateral which guarantee a secured loan. Under the new law, "cram down" of a lien to the actual value of a personal automobile is not permitted if the loan is one that was used to purchase the car within 910 days (about 2 ½ years) before the bankruptcy filing. Or if the loan was used to purchase "any other thing of value," reducing the lien is not permitted if it was within one year before the bankruptcy. Note that work vehicles are not included in the prohibition.

My days around here seem to run together.
Ordinary moments unfold around me daily
and I need to stop and relish in them.
One day, my boys will be out living life
and I will miss these everyday experiences.
So, I am taking the time to document
the simple moments that pass between us.
I'm calling this little collection of memories...
Playing in the mud.
After a rainy day, when the sun finally comes out,
I know a little boy that can't resist playing in the mud.
There's no stopping him once he sees it.
He just can't keep himself from digging his hands in the goop.
I say, why stop him?
So into the mud he goes.
He loves all the squishing,
throwing, smearing, exploring.
He could do it for hours on end.
He could do it for hours on end.
How could a mama not let him
get out there and get dirty?
Clothes can be washed
and so can grubby little fingers.
I just strip him down to his skivvies
on the front porch
when he's done
and toss him into a warm soapy bath
in the middle of the afternoon.
Somehow the whole thing feels very indulgent.
I know that we'll both look
back on these dirty afternoons of exploring fondly.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has stepped back from recommending against the use of paracetamol as an analgesic for treating osteoarthritis.
The NICE guidelines on the care and management of osteoarthritis in adults, published last week, update a previous version from 2008.
A draft of the update put out for consultation in August had provisionally said paracetamol should no longer be considered as a routine treatment for osteoarthritis because of the risk of side effects.
However, in the final version of the updated guidance, NICE chose not to include the change. It said it would instead wait for a separate review on drug safety by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.
Therefore, NICE continues to recommend offering paracetamol for pain relief in addition to core treatments, such as exercise. Paracetamol and/or topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be considered ahead of oral NSAIDs, COX-2 inhibitors or opioids.
Professor Mark Baker, director of NICE's Centre for Clinical Practice, said: "An area that the update initially planned to review was the existing recommendations on pharmacological management of osteoarthritis.
"NICE has decided to wait until the MHRA's work is complete before reviewing all pharmacological management for osteoarthritis," he said. "This will mean that all of the relevant painkillers can be looked at together.
"Until the full pharmacological update is undertaken, the guideline recommendations on drug management for osteoarthritis remain unchanged," he added.
The new guidance maintains the view of the 2008 version that glucosamine and chondroitin products, and acupuncture should not be offered.
Meanwhile, the updated NICE guidance said that exercise remained the core treatment in managing osteoarthritis.
Professor Baker said: "The guidance highlights that the core treatment for osteoarthritis remains exercise – this not only helps relieve pain for some people but also improves function."
However, NICE did make new recommendations on diagnosing the condition and on follow-up review.
For example, it stated that osteoarthritis should be diagnosed clinically without investigations if a person was 45 or over, has activity-related joint pain and has either no morning joint-related stiffness or morning stiffness that lasts no longer than 30 minutes.
In addition, regular reviews should be offered to all people with symptomatic osteoarthritis. This should cover monitoring the long-term course of the condition, the effectiveness and tolerability of treatments and other points.
Annual reviews should be considered if the person has other illnesses or conditions, troublesome joint pain, more than one joint affected, or is taking any drugs for their osteoarthritis.

Yes, it's past time to take the Bears seriously.
While Chicago's offense has been up and down all year, their defense has looked like a top-five unit throughout the season. After Sunday's 31-26 win over Philadelphia, the Bears appear to be putting it all together.
Make no mistake: This has been a different Bears team over the last three weeks. I'd argue that they have played their best three games of the season in succession.
Their 27-13 win over Minnesota wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated. The 16-0 win in Miami was a thing of beauty by the team's defense, no matter who was at quarterback for the Dolphins. Jay Cutler's four touchdown performance against the Eagles blitz to go with Matt Forte's 117 rushing yards showed the Bears will be very tough to beat when they are at their best.
Chicago will host more quality teams this year (Patriots, Jets) and still have three road games in the division left. There's a lot of work left to be done, but the Bears are playing their best football at the right time.

Commend An Officer
Internal Affairs Division
Everyone likes a pat on the back when they do a good job. Dallas Police Officers are no different. Each year, the Department receives thousands of employee commendations from the public. But for each one we receive, there are probably twice as many commendable acts that go unnoticed.
When you receive service from our Department that you feel is worthy of a commendation, we would like to hear about it. Call the Internal Affairs Division at (214) 671-3986 or the employee's supervisor (if you know it). Please include all the information you can remember such as the employee's name, the date, time and circumstances of the incident.
The employee will be notified of your commendation as will his/her supervisor, and a copy will also be placed in his/her employee file.

by Jemima Hunt
British Elle Magazine, August 1999
*Whether playing a smoldering Austen hero or a biting Wildean wit, Jeremy Northam has what it takes to make a girl swoon. Jemima Hunt finds that off screen he's just as gorgeous*
I'm trying to get out of London. First tube, then train, then plane. Everywhere I go I find Jeremy Northam staring at me from posters promoting his film *An Ideal Husband*. The poster in my local tube station has been decorated with juicy red lipstick kisses smudged across his face. Somebody loves him.
I arrive in Cannes. The sun is shining and all the way along La Croisette - the hotel-spangled seafront - are billboards framing the same face. The same dark eyes, distant stare and a hint of a smile that threaten to surprise you with something.
The posters are for David Mamet's 'The Winslow Boy', which is in competition. 'An Ideal Husband' is closing the festival. Northam is the man of the moment, yet his presence is hard to detect in the film magazines and gossip columns churned out every day. Then, in one of the magazines, I spot a photo of a group of actors having lunch. Lurking at the back is a man shielded behind dark glasses wearing a bemused expression on an unshaven face. It's him.
Mention the name Jeremy Northam to women and you'll provoke one of two reactions. Either they swoon - 'Mr Knightley in 'Emma'? God, he's gorgeous' - or they haven't got a clue who he is. Read reviews of his recent slate of films and you'll find him described as both 'ubiquitous' and 'a new talent to watch'. But with the release of 'Happy, Texas' and 'The Winslow Boy', the confusion should be resolved. Northam is undoubtedly one of the finest actors around.
A few weeks later we meet for lunch at London's Claridges. I find him tucked away, smoking, behind potted ferns and American tourists. He's just back from a week's holiday in a Mexican resort a short drive from LA. He's tanned and relaxed and fighting jetlag, which lends him a tousled look and a slightly sleepy air. He's wearing a light blue suit with suede shoes and chunky silver bracelets slip from both wrists. His smile falls somewhere between knowingly seductive and boyishly shy and he has a gaze to match. 'I'm not very good at this,' he says on the way to our table. But Northam is the perfect lunch date - charming and garrulous yet managing not to give too much away.
The fact is, in America Northam is a star. Playing Mr Knightley in 'Emma' did for him there what the role of Mr Darcy did for Colin Firth over here. It established his sex appeal in breeches and his silky charm. It saw him become the subject of web sites, one of which, created by a devoted fan called Cindy, has the mailing address g_knightley. In the States he's recognised in the street. 'Sadly if doesn't tend to be 17-year olds,' he laughs, 'Women old enough to be my grandmother ask if I'm into older women'. In 'Emma' he also had the enviable task of vying for the affections of Gwyneth Paltrow. At the time she was seeing Brad Pitt. 'Love scenes were intimidating, knowing she was going out with the sexiest man alive', he says. 'But she made it easy. So kissing me couldn't have been that bad.'
What's impossible to ignore is how well Northam has done when it comes to leading ladies. Is it true that for on-screen chemistry you have to fall in love? 'Not at all', he counters, which isn't however to say that he doesn't fall for them. In 'Carrington' Northam played Emma Thompson's devilishly handsome lover - the man on the sailing boat with one hand on the tiller, the other on Em. 'Fantastic actress,' is all he'll say. There's also been Anna Friel in Stephen Poliakoff's TV drama 'The Tribe' in which there was a very naked bed scene. 'It ended up being a very funny piece: acting was great fun', he admits.
In the New York thriller 'Mimic', Northam played opposite notoriously tricky actress Mira Sorvino. Together they save New York from giant cockroaches. 'I was covered with green slime for most of the movie' is Northam's singular comment on the film. However, in terms of on-screen spark it looks as though the cockroaches were more fun than Mira. Of Sharon Stone, whom he plays opposite in this summer's gangster flick 'Gloria', he is full of admiration. 'She's wickedly funny and very smart'. However it is Cate Blanchett, his co-star in 'An Ideal Husband', for whom he expresses genuine emotion. 'She has this breathing intelligence most actors have to strain for', he says. 'She's just alive in a very understated way. She's also very married'. So what's the story with girlfriends? Is he the 'confirmed bachelor' as reported? Northam shrugs. 'It's hard. People don't trust you because you're away all the time and you're an actor. I spend too much time on the hoof'. Past girlfriends? 'There was someone a while ago, but I was more in love with her than she was with me'. According to those in the know, he goes for very beautiful women. Inaccessible women possibly, though not exclusively actresses.
Northam arrived in Hollywood as the smooth-talking villain opposite Sandra Bullock in 1995's 'The Net'. Since then he's gone on the join the ranks of British actors winning American roles, four in total. He spends a lot of time in LA. 'I go there to work but not to hang out because I find it soul-destroying the way work has status attached. Yet to make an archetypal American['The Net'] was a fantasy come true,' he says, before adding with typical self-depreciation, 'At the time I just remember feeling bemused and that they had made some awful mistake'. To date, Northam has played a judge in Steven Spielberg's 'Amistad', a scientist in 'Mimic' and an Irish-American gangster in 'Gloria'. 'Though I�ve never had any desire to be a professional Brit,' he confirms. Ironic then, that it was his performance as arch gentleman Mr Knightley in 'Emma' which convinced the director of the forthcoming 'Happy, Texas' that Northam was his man. 'It was the way the character listened and responded to situations then crossed over into romance - apparently.'
'Happy, Texas' couldn't be further from a Jane Austen novel. It's a screwball comedy littered with mistaken identities which Northam describes as '"Some Like it Hot" set in the desert'. He plays an escaped convict who finds himself handcuffed to actor Steve Zahn, George Clooney's moustached sidekick in 'Out of Sight'. They pitch up in a Texan town called Happy and steal a camper van belonging to a gay couple who organise the local beauty pageant. Northam plays mean and moody, giving way to soft and tender as the ex-cons find themselves seduced by small-town values. Northam meanwhile has to rebuff the advances of the sheriff (William H Macy) who falls madly in love with him.
'It's a spirited movie and a great story,' says Northam. 'It's really about choices and how when you're deprived of choice you actually start to feel something exhilarating'. It's a film that caused such a buzz the holiday-makers at Camp David request a copy of it. Yes, no lesser than Bill and Hillary Clinton called up Miramax to ask to see it. 'Apparently they were kind of depressed and needed to be cheered up. I hope it did the trick.'
Now, about Northam's other movie. To meet him and hear him talk is to understand why David Mamet cast him in 'The Winslow Boy'. He has a very rich, velvety voice, perfectly pitched to play barrister Sir Robert Morton in a performance that has already earned him rave reviews at Cannes and in America. An English costume drama, 'It's set in 1912. Ronnie Winslow is 13 and accused of stealing a five shilling postal order,' explains Northam. 'His father launches a campaign to clear his name in Parliament using a barrister, who I play'. Delivering powerful rhetoric to save the day he also trades meaningful glances with Rebecca Pidgeon, the lead female in a display of restrained emotion - another familiar Northam trait. 'It's about intentions', he confirms.
Born in Cambridge in 1962 and brought up there until he was 10, it comes as no surprise to discover that Northam, the youngest of four, is the son of an academic father and a teacher mother. When his father left Cambridge to take up a post teaching drama a Bristol University, Northam ended up at Bristol Grammar. There he discovered drama. 'I was about 16,' he says. 'It was just something I became more and more interested in. I liked the idea of being preoccupied by someone else as I walked about the place saying someone else's words. He went from there to the now defunct Bedford College in London to study English, then spent a formative year pulling ropes backstage at the Hippodrome Theatre. There he encountered actors for the first time and became convince that 'acting was a worthwhile thing to do and not just an ego trip'. Next stop was the Bristol Old Vic, where he trained. Fellow students included actor Sean Pertwee.
Following the Old Vic came the traditional repertory theatre route. 'I did a Chekov, Terence Rattigan, pantomime and a musical,' Northam says. Then followed two years the National Theatre, where he was named Best Newcomer at the 1990 Olivier Awards, and two years at the Royal Shakespeare Company. He appeared in 'Hamlet', the same 'Hamlet' as Daniel Day-Lewis, who, as anyone remotely interested in Daniel Day-Lewis knows, had a nervous breakdown on stage when visited by a ghost of his father. It's an old story but a good one. Northam smiles. I was playing Osric but was an understudy for Hamlet. I'd been doing it for six months when I came off stage and heard, 'Dan's not going to carry on any more'. The guy playing Horatio says, 'How are you on the lines?' Fuck. I hadn't rehearsed the part in months. I couldn't get a drop of saliva to form in my mouth but had to start where Dan had left it. It was horrifying'.
These days Northam does mostly films. Does he miss the theatre since landing his first film role opposite Juliette Binoche, as Cathy's brother Hindley Earnshaw in Wuthering Heights in 1992? 'I did 'Certain Young Men' at the Almeida last year which was my first play in a long time', he says. All the characters were gay and all the actors were straight. 'There's something about performing brilliantly written words which is electrifying. It also meant I could live at home'.
Home is a flat in North London, though these days, 'Norfolk is where I like to wake up,' he says. Northam recently bought a 300-year old house five miles from the sea with a garden filled with plum and apple trees. It's an escape from urban life. He thinks he'll be there for the Millennium. 'I find it dismaying waking up a different hotel room in a different place after a while. I find it lonely.' Pets? He's not a cat person nor a dog person. 'What were you expecting?' he laughs when I phone him in the country. 'A black Labrador called Harry?' His father comes up from Cambridge for weekends, as do friends when Northam's around, which isn't often. It's an awful thing to say, but I'm usually happiest when I'm working. I love acting. I also love knowing I've got time off to do ordinary things. When I'm up here I cook a lot of fish.'
And now he's got time to relax before heading off to Italy this summer to take up a role in the next Merchant Ivory production, Henry James' 'The Golden Bowl'. Northam plays an Italian aristocrat opposite luminous beauties Uma Thurman and Kate Beckinsale. And which one does he fall in love with? 'That would be telling. You'll have to see the movie to find out,' he says.

What happened where are we
Hey there guys,
Yes we've been pretty dead around here.
I'm sorry it's taken me this long to get over and actually say anything about it. The Artist has had some stressful issues and had other things she wanted to work on instead, and she's just not gotten around to working on Chameleador. I'm also busy continuing Pencil View and doing my usual not as fun work stuff, so I haven't been able to help her out. Why have I taken this long to say anything? Honestly I didn't want to guilt trip The Artist by posting anything, but it's been long enough I don't think she'll notice this post.
This sadly means, I have no idea when Chameleador will continue, which is a shame, as we're so close to finishing this arc. But alas, a page will not appear by waving a mouse at the screen and yelling "sha-zam" so we are stuck for the moment.
I'll update next time there are any changes,
