EPSO working groups
Agricultural Technologies Working Group
Agricultural Technologies - lead Frank Hartung, Peter Rogowsky and Ralf Wilhelm
EPSO Publications prepared by this Working Group:
[26.7.2018] EPSO: Court of Justice of the EU ruling regarding mutagenesis and the GMO Directive, first reaction in which European Plant Scientists express their disappointment on the ruling which classifies plants obtained by recent techniques such as CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing as GMO that are subject to extensive pre-market risk evaluations. It is contrary to scientific evidence and as it stands now, it very likely will prevent the use in Europe of such technologies to address food and nutritional security and a more positive impact of agriculture on the environment. EPSO offers to collaborate with policy makers to develop an appropriate regulation addressing the issue of how a product of NBTs differs from those achieved with other breeding approaches to balance potential benefits and risks. Brief statements from EPSO members and partners on the ECJ ruling regarding mutagenesis and GMO Directive.
- [26.6.2018] EPSO: Access to Digital Sequence Information must remain open; calling upon the convention of parties of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), national and EU decision makers to maintain Open Access to Digital Sequence Information as part of the 'Open Science' principle and therefore NOT to include this in the Nagoya Protocol as this would substantially decrease the analysis and improvement of germplasm including that of plants from Developing Countries.
- [25.5.2018] EPSO: Welcoming the Advice of the British Advisory Committee on Releases to the Environment (ACRE) on genome-edited camelina plants with increased levels of oleic acid, Opinion.
- [9.3.2018] EPSO: Comment on the report of the Ad Hoc Technical Expert Group on Synthetic Biology: The report was commissioned under the UN Environment programme (UNEP), Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). See here original report of the AHTEG and all submitted comments.
- EPSO: First reaction on the Advocate General's Opinion regarding mutagenesis and the Genetically Modified Organisms Directive, 18.1.2018, welcoming this as an important step in clarifying the GMO directive. EPSO awaits the decision of the Court of Justice of the EU foreseen for 2018.
- EPSO: Opinion on the SAM Explanatory Note on New Techniques in Agricultural Biotechnology, 15.9.2017, welcoming the science based view on applications and implications including risk and benefits. EPSO calls for urgent action to promote progress in plant science and commercial breeding in Europe to meet challenges for agriculture in due time. EPSO encourages the European Commission to develop options regarding the regulation of new techniques in agricultural biotechnology. EC Explanatory Note, 28.4.2017
- EPSO: Synthetic Biology should not be confused with the application of new breeding techniques, updated statement, 30.8.2017, reemphasizing that the techniques themselves do not define whether an organism or product is of synthetic origin just by their mere application; and that a synthetic organism should be substantially different from any organism that can occur in nature
- EPSO: Implementing the Nagoya Protocol by national legislation in the countries of Europe, statement, 3.7.2017, asking the European Commission and the Member States to support the adoption of uniform legislation across Europe for the exchange and use of Plant Genetic Resources by applying the multilateral system enshrined in the FAO International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA). In this way these resources would be subject to the standardized material transfer agreement procedures, which are considered of key importance to sustain future research and breeding activities.
- Updated Statement: Crop Genetic Improvement Technologies, 12.01.2017 EPSO welcomes the majority opinion of the Member States "New Techniques Working Group" report and asks the EC to follow these recommendations and provide legal certainty for science and industry regarding application and exploration of New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBTs) to allow the plant sector addressing the Grand Challenges facing our planet. EPSO acknowledges the interpretation of the EU GMO legislation as both process and product based and considers that this could help to clarify the legal status of the NPBTs. In its update EPSO includes recently published reports from Belgium and Italy.
- Synthetic Biology is much more than the application of new breeding techniques, statement 7.12.2016
- Fact sheets on New Breeding Technologies, 21.3.2016. Including: Site-Directed Nucleases (e.g. genome editing), Oligonucleotide-Directed Mutagenesis, RNA-directed DNA-Methylation, Cisgenesis, Grafting using GM plants, Reverse breeding, and Agroinfiltration.

Working Group Activities
The EPSO Board decided to constitute a WoGr to call attention to how the science that its members are producing may have an impact on agriculture. Agriculture will have to meet important demands in the near future. The production of sufficient, safe and healthy food for an increasing human population is a huge challenge. But this production also has to meet the need for a reduced impact of agriculture in a changing environment.

Everyone working in plant biology is aware of the significant advances in our knowledge of plant development, interactions of plants with other organisms — particularly pathogens, and the control of metabolic pathways. New methodologies are being developed to study plants both at molecular and cellular levels and as whole organisms or populations in the field. We are convinced that these methods and the information that we are obtaining from them will have, sooner or later, significant effects on agriculture. Agriculture has always been based on the best technologies available at a given moment. Plants were among the first species selected for the studies that led to the birth of genetics and during the last century plant breeding provided the basis for the present levels of food production. A number of technologies are already having an impact in plant breeding:
- Molecular markers are already being used routinely for many crop species by public and private breeders.
- Sequences of the main cultivated plants are becoming available and resequencing of varieties is being used to obtain collections of polymorphic sequences that allow massive genotyping and the discovery and use of complex genetic characters.
- Knowledge of pathways that control metabolism and development and generate resistance to pathogens is providing genes that may be useful to produce new variability through transformation.
- Methods for phenotyping are also being developed based on image analysis. They may become useful to follow the state of crops in the field helping farmers to take decisions.
- The recent progress in genome editing allows the efficient and precise modification of genes in almost all plant species.
- By introducing the genetic information for new metabolic pathways into nuclear and chloroplast genomes plants can be explored as production platform for a wide range of new products.
Next to this, increasing awareness and providing an actual overview and access to Risk Assessment (RA) and Regulatory Issues (RI) of new agricultural technologies, including genetic engineering and genome editing, also belongs to the activities of the WoGr. RA and RI influence the daily work and lives of researchers involved in developing and exploring new biotechnologies. The group aims to address this significant area, directly related to research and placing on the market. Main tasks are to: increase awareness of RA and RI amongst EPSO members, provide an actual overview on and access to RA and RI documents for EPSO members, and flag up necessary actions.
The most recent meeting of the working group was kindly hosted by JKI in Berlin in May 2017. The participants discussed mainly New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBT) and the implementation of the Nagoya protocol at national level and advice on Synthetic Biology. The group continues to provide science advice to policy on NPBTs to the European Commission and via its members to national level.
Previous meetings took place every 6 months at CNR / Milano on 22.11.2016, CRAG / Barcelona on 31.5.2016, the Julius Kuehn-Institute in Berlin on 3.12.2015 and in the Helmholtz Association in Brussels on the 30.10.2014. Lead by Joachim Schiemann (both) and Jonathan Jones (Oct'14), a wide range of issues were discussed by over 20 participants including an observer from the European Commission. EPSO positions and statements on Crop Genetic Improvement Technologies, Plant Breeders Rights and Patent Rights, and the Member State Exemption for GMO Cultivation were vibrantly debated and published afterwards. The group will continue to help represent the needs of European scientists in this important area into the future.
The next meeting will be held in Berlin in November 2017.

06-29-04 New restaurant to open in St. Henry grocery's old spot
By Janie Southard firstname.lastname@example.com
ST. HENRY -- A new restaurant is coming to town. At Monday's village council meeting, councilors approved a liquor license for Greg's Bar and Grill to be located at the Gels Market location, at the corner of Ohio 118 and 119. St. Henry native Greg Gels plans to open his new restaurant as soon as the location is cleared by his father, Charlie Gels, who soon will move his grocery to the former Dave's Market on Ohio 118. According to Charlie Gels, his son plans a sit-down restaurant with seating capacity of 80 to 100 people. Greg Gels, who has run the Fieldhouse bar in Dayton for the past 10 years, was not available for comment this morning. The elder Gels, who operates the store his father, Jerry, established in the early 1950s, expects to open his new grocery at the end of July. All going as planned, he will host a grand opening in August. "I don't want both stores open at the same time and there's a lot to do in (the old) store to remove shelving and equipment before Greg could even get started," Charlie Gels said this morning. Earlier this month, Charlie Gels closed on the sale of the former Dave's Market, which was open for only five months. Former owner Dave Evans cited a boycott of his market by the St. Henry community as the reason for his business failure. Opening the 23,000-square-foot-facility later this month will restore the 30 jobs lost when Dave's closed, Charlie Gels has said. The automatic car wash is now open and the gasoline station will open in a couple weeks, he added.

The Right Point Too!
While I appreciate what this author has to say I think he misses the main point. What Romney did or did not pay in taxes is not relevant. So long as he did not break the law it is completely irrelevant if he is or is not suitable to President.
What we should be discussing is tax policy. The purpose of a tax is to gain revenue for a government to function. I would suggest it should not be used to purchase votes, reward lobbyists, or manipulate behaviors. Quite the opposite taxes should be structured in such a manner as to have the least impact on the private sector possible.
With our current tax system of loopholes, incentives and outright payoffs you really have no idea if you are paying more or less taxes than Romney or Obama.
Our current tax system is a burden on businesses to comply, as well as pay. Billions perhaps, trillions are spent simply in tax preparation between business and personal filings. This money is wasted as it produces no valuable product or service. That cost is multiplied as businesses make business decisions based on tax avoidance instead of deploying capital in the most valuable manner to obtain a real return. Business taxes make our products less competitive abroad, costing jobs. Business taxes make America less attractive to foreign capital, costing jobs. Business taxes provide a disincentive for bringing home foreign profits made by American companies, costing jobs. Noticing a pattern here? Business taxes are an added expense to a business which makes us less competitive in a global market.
In addition, for all of this effort, and job loss, business income taxes are a rather small part of Federal government revenues, accounting for only 8% of the total.
The reason it is argued taxing capital gains or dividends are taxed at a lower rate, which is what happens with Buffet and Romney, is that income has already been taxed once. Why should we get to tax it again?
I believe eliminating the business income tax and simplifying the personal tax code would more than make up the lost 8% in increased economic activity more exports, and foreign investment in our country. If you are a company where would you like to put your HQ? In the US with a great infrastructure and zero taxes or in China where you give a up a quarter of your profits, or perhaps a European country with tax rates between 13 and 35%.
A simplified tax code would not be used for social welfare. As an example, 3 years ago my brother paid in $8 in Federal income tax. His rebate? $3599. How is that a revenue generator for the government? Under a simplified tax code all income is treated equally since dividends and capital gains are no longer being taxed at the business level. Questions about Romney's tax rate become irrelevant. There is no longer that "tax break" for the "rich" or anyone which has investments.
No longer do you have to drop $50 for tax software every year or a couple of hundred to an accountant.
Under this plan everyone pays the same, everyone gets the same deduction. That deduction is set to remove
all of those in poverty from the tax rolls. Let's say that number was set at $35,000. Let's further assume the tax rate is 20% in order to collect adequate revenues. That would mean a person earning $40,000 pays taxes on only $5000, a pretty good deduction, and pay $1000 in tax. While a person earning $1,000,000 would find the deduction to be pretty insignificant, and pay $193,000 in tax. For those under $35,000 in income I propose they pay a symbolic $1 minimum tax to demonstrate we are all in this together. Any increases in the tax rate would also be added to the $1 so an increase of 10% in the tax rate from 20% to 22% as an example would raise the $1 to $1.10.
Now here is the kicker. As you may have noticed there are no longer any rewards or punishments for choices you make. Get married or not, have kids or not, buy a house or rent, go to school, invest, no longer will you be rewarded or punished for those choices. No longer can politicians buy votes by manipulating the tax code. A dramatically smaller and less intrusive IRS is the result.
There you have it. More jobs. More prosperity. And, an assurance of no more tax breaks for the rich. No longer will Buffet's secretary pay less than he does. Now what's not fair?
There you have it, my opinion and the Right Point Too!

Off is a brand I know and trust. I like that it's a brand that's affordable and readily available in most stores. This product is effective and reliable and I would recommend it. It may not have the best scent but it works.
these coils for outside are magnificent I love them I just set them right on my porch and keep all the mosquitoes and some of the bugs away and the smell is great
This stuff just doesn't work for me. I live in an area where there are
clouds of gnats and mosquitos and they are so bad that I cannot go
outside half of the time. I bought this stuff at the store and it doesn't work at all!I wouldn't recommend this product.
clouds of gnats and mosquitos and they are so bad that I cannot go

I enjoy using this, but for the price I feel that more coils should come in the package. They burn quite quickly but they do seem to work well. I wish the container wasn't as fragile as well but I would purchase this again.
These are great. They look pretty and are amazing at keeping mosquitos away! Living in WNY we have tons of mosquitoes, and they seem to get worse and carry more diseases every year! These don't take up too much space and work to keep them at a distance and keep your family safe! I would recommend trying this product! Especially if you don't like using stinky bug spray and haven't had any luck with other products.
These don't work. I am a magnet for mosquitoes and bought these to put on my patio just so I could go outside without being eaten alive. It didn't repel them at all. After 10 minutes of being outside I will have 30 mosquito bites. Don't waste your money on this. You'll be disappointed
I always put at least 4 coil refills out in my yard and there are never any mosquitoes around when I'm throwing one of my crazy party's or when my family decides to have a gathering and there are children around. I seriously recommend this product it's safe, long lasting, you can always refill them and it keeps the mosquitoes away!
Do these things really work? I can't tell. All I know for sure is that I smell like it after and it's not a good thing :( if it works then great but like the sprays don't work that well and I feel like the only spray that works is the strong one that's not that good for us
this product doesnt last as long as i would like for it to last. i wasnt very happy with the length of time before i seen bugs again. if i had more than one package it may be better but i was believing that one would do justice for the product. this was not as expected
I mean they smell like bug spray, but it is a really good investment. I bought these at the local grocery store and put them on the patio during the summer. I am from Kansas so there are a lot of mosquitos out, but it did the trick pretty decently I would say.
Does this work? I hate being bit by mosquitoes!
Does this really work

The False Claims Act gives private citizens the chance to sue individuals who have committed fraud against government programs, explains the Taxpayer Against Fraud Education Fund, or TAF. As of 2015, the Act can provide awards of up to 30 percent of recoveries for those that bring in cases.
The Act covers fraud that involves any federally funded program or contract, with the exception of tax fraud, explains TAF. There is a separate IRS whistle blower program that covers federal tax fraud. Some frauds uncovered under the False Claims Act include the billing of goods and services never rendered or delivered; charging more than once for the same services or goods; billings for lobbying, marketing or other non-contract related corporate activities; submitting false samples or service records to show better-than-actual performances; presenting untested or broken equipment as being tested and working; or shifting expenses between fixed-price contracts.
The Federal False Claims Act is regarded as one of the most effective tool in combating fraud against the government. The act was enacted during the Civil War to fight fraud against the government by suppliers to the Union Army. The Act is often referred to as Lincoln's Law. During World War II, the Act was ineffective at combating fraud against the government until 1986, when the statute was revamped, explains the Pietragallo, Gordon, Alfano, Bosick and Raspanti law firm.

As the Roman elites walk toward the site of Martius and Quintus' imminent execution, Titus kneels before them and pleads with them to reconsider their rash judgment. They pass him by without a word. Lucius reveals that he has been banished, and Titus tells him that he should be happy to be banished from a cursed place like Rome. Just then, at the highest pitch of Titus' misery, Marcus enters with Lavinia, revealing the extent of her mutilation. Titus and Marcus weep over the girl and contemplate how to avenge her.
Aaron enters and tells Titus that the emperor has decided to spare his sons after all if he, Lucius, or Marcus chops off a hand and presents it to him. All three Andronici leap at the chance to perform the sacrifice. Marcus and Lucius rush off to get an ax, but while they are gone Titus has Aaron cut off his hand, thus preempting his son and brother. Soon afterwards, however, a messenger returns with Titus' sons disembodied heads and Titus' severed hand. The Andronici collapse in grief, and Lavinia kisses her brothers' heads. Titus begins to laugh ghoulishly, swearing that he will seek out Revenge's cave. He then orders his daughter to take his hand between her teeth; he and his brother each pick up a head. Lucius, meanwhile, declares that he will raise an army against Rome during his banishment.
Some time later, Titus and his family sit down to a meal. Titus declares that he will interpret Lavinia despite her infirmity. When Marcus kills a fly Titus reprimands him, insisting that any killing is unjust, but after Marcus compares the fly to Aaron the Moor Titus swats the creature himself. Thus the Act comes to a close with the Andronici in a state of deepest despair.
Act Three is largely a series of tableaux, each of which underscores the powerlessness of the Andronici clan. In many ways, these stagings are quite obvious. Titus' sacrifice of his hand, for instance, represents the surrendering of his agency to the Roman state. Although he initially surrendered his agency in Act One when he made Saturninus emperor, here he does so quite literally, but just as his sacrifice was scorned then, so it is scorned here. Now two of the Andronici have lost their hands, though Lavinia's were taken, not freely given. Indeed, Titus is obsessed with hands. The words "hand" or "hands" appear almost eighty times throughout the play, more than they do in any other Shakespearean work. They represent action, duty, work, agency - all values that come to naught for Titus and his family.
The counterpoint to hands - and the other body part Lavinia has lost - is the tongue. Like the sacrifice of his hand, Titus' speeches in Act Three are ineffectual. He "tells his sorrows to the stones" of Rome, as he says in a particularly moving speech, because his words are meaningless to the Roman elites he might have ruled over. In Act Three, Titus' language borders on madness. It is full of repetitions and gruesome puns, and he constantly reminds the audience of Lavinia's mutilation ("Let us that have our tongues / Plot some device of further misery"; "What accursed hand / Hath made thee handless in thy father's sight"). These distasteful lines, like his laughter at the end of scene one, reveal a Titus who is unhinged by his misery, who sees the unspeakable injustice of his family's treatment as darkly humorous - almost like a macabre play.
Though Lavinia is commented upon, wept over, poeticized, and lamented, she remains mute. The men who presume to weep for her victimization continue to put words into her mouth, thus rendering her doubly powerless. Titus insists that he can read her "martyred signs" - though he obviously cannot, as he comes no closer to figuring out who mutilated her than Marcus did. He even has his daughter carry his severed hand between her teeth, an image that simultaneously evokes her central position in his desire for revenge and belittles her, mocking her deformity. Lavinia wields very little power even over those who claim to love her. Indeed, Titus never cared for Lavinia's agency - recall his immediate willingness to hand her over to Saturninus in Act One. Shakespeare is perhaps suggesting that despite the obvious depravity of Chiron and Demetrius' behavior, Titus' is not that much different. He too takes Lavinia's agency for granted, sulking over her injury as an affront to himself, as a "spurn" to his own "soul". Lavinia is trapped between the men who raped her and the men who would avenge her.

Mazal tov, Patriots! There's no question that Boston is kvelling with pride as the Patriots head to their ninth Super Bowl, tied with the Cowboys and the Steelers at the top of the list of teams making it to the big game.
Despite the pigskin being the ultimate in treif, the 49th annual Super Bowl wouldn't be the same without some key Jewish contributions:
- The Pats wouldn't be the team they are without dedicated owner Robert Kraft, the ultimate—and local—Nice Jewish Boy.
- Wide receiver and punt returner Julian Edelman is another Nice Jewish Boy who was proud to share his heritage in an NFL Network interview. Just as this is the Pats' ninth trip to the Super Bowl, this could be the year the ninth Jew ever will win a Super Bowl ring!
- Knishes make the perfect game day treat. I'm drooling over the options that Michael's Deli will be serving up: fried mozzarella and marinara, loaded potato skin and buffalo chicken. Get to Coolidge Corner quickly to pick some up!
- Whether you love her as Elsa, Elphaba, Maureen or otherwise, Jewish goddess Idina Menzel will sing the National Anthem this year.
- The late Myra Kraft was not only Bob's wife but an incredible leader in her own right in the Boston Jewish community. A woman who loved the Pats and the Jewish community? Now there's something to celebrate.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday!

Memphis Depay has admitted it will be "special" to play against his old side PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday - but that won't stop him celebrating if he scores.
The Dutchman spent 10 years at the Eredivisie champions before his big money move to Manchester United this summer.
But while many players refuse to celebrate against their old teams as a mark of respect, Depay says there will be no such sentimental gestures from him.
"For me it's a game, so if I score I will celebrate," he said. "I have respect for PSV but I am a Manchester United player now.
"I played for 10 years for PSV before I came to Manchester United so [of course] it's a special feeling for me, also with my old teammates - to see them again and play against them."
READ MORE: Van Gaal issues challenge for his younger players.
Depay has had a mixed start to life at Old Trafford. He scored a superb brace against Club Brugge in the previous round of the Champions League but his domestic form has been mediocre and he was hauled off at half time against Liverpool on Saturday.
The 21-year-old is not worried, however, and insists he just needs time to adapt to English football.
"I learn so much things here [at PSV] but it's on a different level," he said. "The competition is different so I have to learn the English Premier League to improve there.
"Of course I've learned a lot of things from PSV but it's different."

The GGM05 Models
Science Data Products
Level-3 Data Products
Science Team Meeting
The GRACE Gravity Model 01 (GGM01) was released on July 21, 2003. This model was based upon a preliminary analysis of 111 days of in-flight data gathered during the commissioning phase of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission, which was launched on March 17, 2002. This model is between 10 to 50 times more accurate than all previous Earth gravity models at the long & medium wavelengths.
The GGM01 model is being released along with the following information.
For more information, please contact the Center for Space Research at 512-471-5573or e-mail: email@example.com.
B. D. Tapley, S. Bettadpur, M. M. Watkins and Ch. Reigber, The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment: Mission Overview and Early Results, Geophys. Res. Lett., 31, L09607, doi:10.1029/2004GL019920, 2004.

Progress in Measuring the Earth's Gravity Field
Prior to GRACE, the long-wavelength part of the Earth's gravity field from space was determined from various tracking measurements of Earth orbiting satellites. These measurements were of considerably varying vintage and quality, and of incomplete geographical coverage. Consequently the accuracy and resolution of the Earth gravity field models were limited, with most of the satellite contributions limited to wavelengths of 700 km or longer. At shorter wavelengths, the errors were too large to be useful. Only broad geophysical features of the Earth's structure could be detected. As a result, improvements to the Earth gravity models at medium & short wavelengths had to come from the use of measurements of terrestrial or marine gravity - also of varying vintage, quality and geographic coverage.
In contrast, GRACE, by itself, has provided accurate gravity information with a resolution of 200 km. This improvement has been possible by the measurement, with a high accuracy flight system, of the inter-satellite range change, which is itself very sensitive to the Earth gravity field. In the resulting gravity model, GGM01S, much more detail is clearly evident in the Earth's geophysical features. Future GRACE gravity models, derived from longer data spans and with improved processing methods and models, are expected to increase the resolution and accuracy of these models even further.
A milligal is a convenient unit for describing variations in gravity over the surface of the Earth. 1 milligal (or mGal) = 0.00001 m/s2, which can be compared to the total gravity on the Earth's surface of approximately 9.8 m/s2. Thus, a milligal is about 1 millionth of the standard acceleration on the Earth's surface.
This new gravity field will allow solid Earth scientists to more accurately infer the Earth's internal structure at finer resolution than ever before possible from space. Ocean scientists can combine this gravity model with ocean height measurements from satellite altimeters to study global ocean circulation on a finer scale than has been previously possible. These will, in turn, enable a better understanding of the processes that drive the Earth's dynamic system (solid Earth, ocean and atmosphere), thus leading to better analysis and predictions of climate change & natural hazards (e.g., Earthquakes).
The GRACE mission is jointly implemented by NASA and DLR underthe NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder Program.

When I need distraction I tend to return to books that I know I've lost myself in before, rather than trying to find myself lost in a new story. Too often, I start and stop ten new books before I find that place where I can be in another world for a while.
That would be, most likely, why I have reread all of Nalini Singh's Psy/Changeling books five times. This last week, I returned to earlier books by Lora Leigh. Specifically, Tanner's Scheme and Bengal's Heart. I think I most enjoy her books where the heroine, or hero, gets into some kind of trouble towards the end and it brings the other mate into the realization that they'd really better shape up emotionally because life is short and they could lose their other half.
Maybe I'm just a sap that way.
My mother used to call certain books, for her the tales of Jane Austen, old friends. If something terrible happened in the world, she could go visit her old friend for a while and feel better.
Do you have any old friends that you like to visit?

public static int BASS_DSD_StreamCreateFile( IntPtr memory, long offset, long length, BASSFlag flags, int freq )
Public Shared Function BASS_DSD_StreamCreateFile ( memory As IntPtr, offset As Long, length As Long, flags As BASSFlag, freq As Integer ) As Integer
- memory
- Type: SystemIntPtr
An unmanaged pointer to the memory location as an IntPtr.
- offset
- Type: SystemInt64
Offset to begin streaming from (unused for memory streams, set to 0).
- length
- Type: SystemInt64
Data length (needs to be set to the length of the memory streams in bytes which should be played).
- flags
- Type: Un4seen.BassBASSFlag
Any combination of these flags: see BASSFlag.
BASS_DSD_DOP Produce DSD-over-PCM data (with 0x05/0xFA markers). DSD-over-PCM data is 24-bit, so the BASS_SAMPLE_FLOAT flag is required. BASS_DSD_RAW Produce raw DSD data instead of PCM. The DSD data is in blocks of 8 bits (1 byte) per-channel with the MSB being first/oldest. DSD data is not playable by BASS, so the BASS_STREAM_DECODE flag is required.
- freq
- Type: SystemInt32
Sample rate to convert the DSD data to PCM at... 0 = use the BASS_CONFIG_DSD_FREQ config setting. The rate will be rounded up (or down if there are none higher) to the nearest valid rate; the valid rates are 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, etc of the DSD rate down to a minimum of 44100 Hz. This parameter is ignored when the BASS_DSD_DOP or BASS_DSD_RAW flag is specified.
Return ValueType: Int32
If successful, the new stream's handle is returned, else 0 is returned. Use BASS_ErrorGetCode to get the error code.
All DSD rates (including 48000 Hz variants like 3.072 MHz) with any number of channels are supported, in DSDIFF and DSF containers (DST encoding is not supported). The file's DSD sample rate is available via the BASS_ATTRIB_DSD_RATE attribute.
There are a few types of tag that may be available via BASS_ChannelGetTags. DSDIFF files may include artist and title information, which is available via the BASS_TAG_DSD_ARTIST and BASS_TAG_DSD_TITLE tags, which are ASCII strings. DSDIFF files can also include comments, which are available via the BASS_TAG_DSD_COMMENT+index tag (index=0 is the first comment), which gives a pointer to a BASS_TAG_DSD_COMMENT structure. DSF files may include ID3v2 tags, which are available via the BASS_TAG_ID3V2 tag.
DSD is 6dB quieter than PCM, so a 6dB gain will be applied by default when converting to PCM. That can be changed via the BASS_CONFIG_DSD_GAIN config option and the BASS_ATTRIB_DSD_GAIN attribute.
The DSD-over-PCM (BASS_DSD_DOP) and raw DSD data (BASS_DSD_RAW) options allow supporting devices to play the DSD data directly, without converting to PCM. In both cases, the data needs to reach the device unmodified, so there can be no effects/resampling/mixing or anything else that will modify the data.

"That's known as a man in the middle attack."
Australian rugby star Jarry Hayne was recently conducting a presentation for high schoolers warning them of the importance of cyber safety when, ironically, the presentation was hacked and pornographic images showed on the projector screen in front of the audience.
Hayne was conducting the presentation on behalf of Norton Security and an employee who was with him at the time says the images definitely didn't come from Hayne's phone, but that still doesn't totally take away from the embarrassment.
"It definitely was not on Jarryd's device," Nick Savvides said. "Connecting to open networks, people can see what you're doing and in this case, inject unwanted materials."
Hayne had volunteered to allow the employee to hack into his phone, to prove how easy it is for someone to hack into a device while they use WiFi, but it turned into a nightmare when images of athletes quickly turned into porn while a local tv station awkwardly filmed the whole thing.

The High Cost of Empire Maintenance• http://www.theamericanconservative.com
Running an empire is not cheap.
The revelation that Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has run up $4.7 million in travel expenses, over 930,000 miles, and a total of 373 days on the road in his five years in office should not surprise anyone, until one realizes that the numbers conceal as much as they reveal. As the Secretary travels by military aircraft and naval vessels, the cost of getting from point A to point B is not included, nor are a lot of the related staffing expenses as they are taken care of by Defense Department personnel who would be getting paid anyway.
Even with those sunk costs, however, managing visitors nevertheless compromises the ability of the local mission or command to carry out its normal duties. In my experience, the visit of a senior bureaucrat, a congressional delegation, or a high-ranking military officer overseas is both a money pit and a time-waster as it invariably requires weeks of preparation prior to the arrival of the potentate.
Congressmen are notorious for their worldwide travel as part of "Congressional Delegations" (CODELs), which are intended to be both "fact-finding" and "educational." Most CODEL visits not surprisingly occur in the summer when Congress is in recess, and sometimes lack seriousness or even any recognizable agenda. Sixteen congressmen traveled to Rome in March to attend the installation of Pope Francis at a cost of $63,000, a relatively small expense by government standards, but nevertheless a gesture that should have been paid for either through a private foundation or by the congressmen themselves.

This is going to be long because I'll to have to explain a lot of differences in higher education systems between US and Commonwealth countries.
I'm a US citizen who's lived in Australia since 14, and consequently went to high school and is undergoing my last year of university there. I plan to move back to the States to do a JD and work in Washington D.C. as political/policy advisor and aspire to eventually fill into roles like a Congressional Chief of Staff. I won't explain the nuances of the Commonwealth system, but long story short: they offer dual bachelor's here for the same duration as a single bachelor's in America.
In six months, I'll finish my dual BA (political science)/Bachelor of Economics (AU eqiv of BA in Economics) with great grades from a university ranked in the world top 30, anticipating great LSAT's. I will likely be offered to pick an honours year for either degree (which is the Commonwealth system's single-year equivalent of a Master's for the top achievers).
So assuming no bars such as price and admission and given my undergrad degrees, what would be my best course of action for becoming a the best hill staffer I can:
1. Continue to do a Bachelor of Arts (honours) in political science, then do a JD in the US.
2. Continue to do a Bachelor of Economics (honours), then do a JD in the US.
3. Do neither, go to the US and do a MPP/JD.
Each scenario takes four years, and keep in mind I want to be able to advise on policy and politics, draft legislation and do more administrative stuff.
Thanks for your help! Sorry this was so long, but it was necessary to explain the US/AUS differences.
P.S. In the poll, I'll put degrees as their American equivalents, as so not to confuse people who just look at the poll.

Re: JD/MPP vs JD/ MA for Washington D.C.
Just looking at the papers (and lacking any real knowledge AT ALL) I'd vote for "none of the above".

Re: JD/MPP vs JD/ MA for Washington D.C.
It depends on what you want to do as a congressional staffer. Do you want to start as Counsel, or Legislative Aide? The JD is beneficial for Counsel, and the MA is beneficial for the LA position. After you get your initial position, rising in the staff depends on how you perform at your job, who you get to know, etc, and not your degree. The degree just gets you in the door to your first position.

Re: JD/MPP vs JD/ MA for Washington D.C.
In my experience, getting a staffer job is pretty easy. You intern for six months, do a good job, and people will find you something if you want it. A JD isn't even necessary but it does help you get into legislative aide/assistant stuff without having to climb the lower rungs first.

Did my first CCR course on a rental unit with a BOV. It was HEAVY. When scootering (after course of course, but still with a rental unit) it was still heavy.
Then I bought my own CCR with a DSV, wow, that was much better. Even some others here who bought a unit (AP Inspiration) with a BOV changed them to a DSV.
On my Sidekick/Kisskat I also have a DSV (Golom Gear).
I prefer a DSV and no BOV.

Headphones a disappointment
Your review: The stereo/cassette/CD player is very nice and seems to be of good quality. The jack also seems to be working fine. I was really disappointed with the headphones, however. They are too big for my 3rd grade students' heads. They have to hold them in place with their hands to keep them in place. They are even too big for me. The covers on the ear pieces do not stay in place, and I am often putting them back on. One headphone is already broken, and I have only been using them for 2 weeks. I was really excited to get this listening center, but have been quite disappointed by the quality of the headphones.

You hide it. They find it. Hide It is a hide and seek game for your iPhone or iPod Touch. You actually hide your device and your family and friends try to find it by listening for where the sound comes from. Choose from 3 different modes.
* Timer mode: The chosen sound effect plays every 1 to 60 seconds. For an even greater challenge set a high interval with a low volume.
* Remote mode: You can control when the selected sound effect plays by either using a computer or the Hide It Remote app on another device. The Hide It Remote app uses Bluetooth to remotely trigger the effect. This is great for playing Hide It when there are no wireless networks available.
* Marco Polo mode: Trigger the selected sound effect utilizing your voice. You say "marco" and the hidden device says "polo."

I have a custom-made PC Windows XP Pro SP two speed 2500 hdd #1, 80 gig
This machine is clean:
The problem I am having is brand new I have never seen it before. And the tech people I know are
baffled. Maybe someone here can help.
I have a Liteon dvd rw and cd rw combo.everything works fine, I can play DVDs I have been using this rom for several months. In "my computer" Windows recognizes the drive as DVD rw drive F.however when I put in a BLANK DVD disc Windows changes the designation of the drive to cd drive f.this applies to any blank DVD disc I insert. At this point, Windows no longer recognizes the DVD and I cannot download anything to the DVD from my PC via Windows.
I have Nerorom burning and use it to burn DVDs with. And I don't have any trouble with that.why do I need to use Nero on all my burning applications even if I want to save something from my PC? When I first installed the liteon DVD RW Windows recognized it and I could at that time burn to it, any of the information that I wanted that was on my PC , for instance a full backup of my system.I even tried formatting the DVD, but to no avail.(used Nero for this).
So I guess the question is why is Windows changing the designation of my DVD rom to cd and preventing me from writing to my DVD-ROM.
Thank you: CLKP

According to "South Korea Herald" Beijing time on July 19 reported that in 2013 by TSMC took the iPhone chip OEM orders, Samsung Electronics will once again next year for Apple's new iPhone production chips.
Samsung has recently purchased a very UV lithography machine for the iPhone to produce 7 nanometer mobile processors. Extreme UV lithography is the most advanced chip manufacturing equipment. According to the news, Kwon Oh-hyun, Samsung's co-CEO for chip and other parts business, played a key role in the deal, and he visited Apple's headquarters last month.
"Power Wu Hyun may have persuaded Apple executives to take advantage of both sides on the OLED screen in close cooperation," the industry news said. Samsung is currently the world's largest mobile OLED screen manufacturer, the market share of up to 95%, is also coming this year's new iPhone's exclusive OLED screen suppliers.
Samsung has been the main chip maker of Apple until 2013. That year, TSMC became the iPhone chip's exclusive foundry. Through the use of more efficient than the opponent in advance of 7 nanometer process, TSMC successfully won next year's iPhone OEM orders. Reported that Samsung will assume part of next year's iPhone chip orders.
Samsung plans to complete the independent testing of the new chip manufacturing machine in the near future, and then seek to obtain Apple's final approval for chip production. TSMC is now the world's largest chip foundry company, a share of 50.6%.
According to Apple's dual supplier strategy, this is an inevitable choice.
As a semiconductor consumption of large enterprises, a well-known brand, a majority of profits will be pressed on the same product on the enterprise, Apple has always been the choice of its suppliers cautious, for their supply are also considered. In order to better ensure the supply of its upstream components, Apple has been taking a dual supplier strategy.
The so-called dual-vendor strategy, is to put a variety of components to the two considerable strength of the factory to OEM, such as display, memory, storage and other components chip. The advantage of this strategy is that the cost of components will be due to competition between the two factories, while maintaining a low level. And if one of the problems can not meet the demand for production, there is another one can quickly make up, which greatly reduces the risk of insufficient production capacity.
Over the past decade, the dual supplier strategy to solve the problem of Apple's product capacity to help Apple become the world's highest level of supply chain management one of the enterprises. It is also this efficient supply chain management strategy, so that Apple to the peak.
Prior to the iPhone 6S, Apple on the main chip foundry, there should be no dual supplier strategy, but because of the difference and its reasons, Apple A9 chip to take a dual supplier strategy. Because the foundry manufacturers Samsung and TSMC are using the latest technology soon, Samsung's capacity expansion slow, and TSMC and bounce is known, any one problem is very likely, if the bet on a person, The risk can be imagined, so Apple desperately to take a dual supplier strategy to prevent if one of the problems, you can make up another vacancy. Unfortunately, in the move, there has been a "chip door" incident.
So in the A10 and all returned to TSMC foundry.
Re-choose Samsung, TSMC face new challenges
With the advance in the new technology, Samsung has also worked for the OEM chip for the work.

Mexican Hot Dog
I painted this hot dog for a poster I designed promoting a conference on cross-border foods called "Sabores Sin Fronteras", or "Flavors without Borders".
What could be more all-American than the hot dog?
The Mexican hot dog? This recent import from south of the border may have improved upon that icon of American cuisine. There's even a new Spanish word for a street-vendor of the Mexican hot dog: hotdoguero. Hot dog historians argue, local chefs dispute how to make one, and the City of Los Angeles has made them illegal.
But the tourists only ask, "Where can I get one?"
When illustrator Paul Mirocha was asked to paint this Sonoran hot dog for a conference on borderlands food traditions, he researched the most popular hot dog stands in Tucson, Arizona for the secret recipe. Start with a steamed bun, then add pinto beans, a hot dog wrapped in mesquite-smoked bacon, fresh-chopped tomato and onion, mustard, mayonnaise, and finally jalapeño sauce—and don't forget a live jalapeño on the side.
Here is the poster:
