Q: Rational software architect how to read .h and .cpp files into a new project I am new to UML and I am trying to use Rational Software architect to visualize a C++ project.
1) How can I add the existing .h and .cpp files that I have to a new Rational Software architect project in order to see the UML diagram?
2) I see that there is an option in the Rational Software architect to visualize the .h files (I see it in the sample project of version 7), is it the same as the reverse engineering option in this tool?
3) I am developing a C++ program with Visual C++, is the rational Software architect a good choice? or is there a better choice?
4) Any reference to a good User guide or User manual for the Rational Software architect?
Thanks,

A: I found the answer,
right mouse on the new project name, import-> general file system.
I had problems to find it before because I was looking for the C++ options.


Combining mountain scenery with exquisite valley backdrops makes the Himalayas one of the most fascinating trekking adventures in the world. On top of providing some of the most picturesque landscapes known to man, it also plays host to some incredible displays of traditional culture and of course we cannot forget that it is home to some of the planet's highest peaks.
The very beginning of India can be traced to this historic region and researchers believe that the origins of the Indus Valley Civilisation date back as far as that of Egypt and Babylon. This large valley sits on the border of Pakistan, Afghanistan, China and India and is situated at an altitude of 3500 to 3600 metres above sea level. It consists of large stretches of undulating lands interspersed by high mountains making the Indus Valley a magnificent starting point.
Over 5,000 years ago huge cities were developed on the Indus River floodplain with straight streets and brick homes which even contained private baths. The Indus Valley is the soul of Ladakh and on a tour you will pass some of the most charming villages of Sham region and discover the ancient Ladakhi monasteries hidden deep in the wonderful mountains. Watch on as the monks and nuns continue the meditation and lifestyle that has been part and parcel of the culture here ever since ancient times.
Boasting incredible scenic vistas and a pristine environment, Suru Valley is dominated by the highest mountains of Zanskar – towering at heights of up to 10,000 ft – and is drained by the Suru River; a tributary of the Indus River.
This route goes along vast stretches of uninhabited land close to the glacier of Nun-Kun which provides the magnificent view of the Himalayan peaks of the Zanskar range. Nun and Kun are two pairs of snow-peaked mountains and its eight-mile long glacier makes the Suru Valley one of the most agriculturally productive regions in all of Ladakh. As a result, during the spring-time a beautiful bloom of apple and apricot trees ravishes the region, while the surrounding area is engulfed with a broad edelweiss carpeted meadow. This is one of the most beautiful and difficult terrains of the Suru-Kartse area and should be explored by taking a full-day drive.
At 14 miles long, the Drang-Drung is the largest glacier in Ladakh and while it may be part of the Suru Valley region, we believe that it deserves a special mention. The Doda range which rises from the glacier has an elevation of 21,490 ft (6,550 metres) and its peaks remain snowcapped throughout the year. Along the slopes you will find an immense variety of herbs. As you gaze upon the surrounding beauty you will be sure to agree that the glacier and the stream are a tremendous testament to Mother Nature.
Zanskar is one of the most remote areas in north India and is part of a dying breed of original Tibetan Buddhist societies. It is one of the few remaining places on this planet that visitors can witness a Tibetan society with a continuous untainted lineage dating back thousands of years.
The Buddhist people living in Zanskar are called the Zanskari and they practice their own language, have their own religion and enjoy a unique history. Famed for its many spectacular cave monasteries, your trek will also enable you the unique opportunity to explore a phenomenal culture.
Among the many highlights is a trip to the Karsha Gompa monastery. Nestled in the mountains of the Padum Valley this imposing complex of neatly white-washed blocks is the largest and wealthiest of all the monasteries in Zanskar. Browse the fine collection of Himalayan art and gaze upon the magnificent 500-year old frescoes, housed in the Lhabrang.
Markha valley is blessed with spectacular views of Ladakh and Zanskar ranges and is a region rich in culture. While trekking you will stumble across its civilisation tucked away in the valleys. It is really a great experience to visit the small monasteries, illuminated with butter lamps. Trail through the willow groves and bushes of wild roses to Nimaling plain where one can meet nomadic families with their herds of yaks. This is a moderate treck and the highest point is Kongmarula (5150m).
The name Manali is derived from Manu, who according to the Hindu faith, is said to be the first man on earth. As a result, the area of Manali is a sacred religious land and Hindus treat the temples as a significant pilgrimage.
In the morning visit Old Manali village and the temple of Saint Manu, before visiting the pagoda style temple of Goddess Hadimba Devi at the Dhungri. Manali is a popular tourist destination and remains one of the best locations to conclude your Himalayan adventure. Sitting at an elevation of around 1950 metres, Manali is surrounded by the imposing mountains and luscious green forests of Kullu valley which is also known as "the valley of God". From here you will be able to take a comfortable bus journey back to Delhi before being transferred back to the airport fulfilled with a series of tremendous memories to cherish forever.
This is one of the most enchanting trek available in the Kullu valley, which offers some of the most widely beautiful mountain scenery to be found anywhere in India. Deep forest, wide open lush green hanging valleys and the bleaks, marinated landscape dominated by the Malana glacier, all add up to a very beautiful trek. Malana is a tribal village, which is considered as the oldest democracy in the world. The permission must be obtained by the head of the villagers to visit the important places in the village and one have to be very careful to not touch the untouched places (sacred places and monuments). In that case the villagers can claim the fine to the person who touched the places intentionally or not.
Ganga is a holy river which drains a large portion of India; hence it is worshipped as Mother Ganga. Rising from the icy caves of Gaumukh in the snout of the Gangotri, the picturesque scenery is there for all to see. Groups of pilgrims and saints (Sadhu) can be seen paying homage in various temples and on the banks of the Ganges. For the most spectacular views, rise above Ganga to the Tapovan plateau. Tapoval has long been a favourite destination among trekkers for its sheer captive beauty and outstanding views of the Gangotri glacier and surrounding mountains.
You don't need to have been in the Mountaineering society at university in order to enjoy this one. The Himalayas is widely regarded as the greatest trekking expedition in the world, and all with good reason too.

Grace Blue presents his new video
stunningly cinematic video from alt-pop duo Grace Blue, which was just released. Raised in Tel-Aviv and now based in Los Angeles, Grace Blue are known for their dark, emotional trip hop fused with catchy up tempo infectious pop. With the success of their last music video going viral and receiving critical acclaim.
Grace Blue is an Israeli alt-pop duo now based in Los Angeles. Consisting of vocalist Grace Mogz (Chen Mogsamov) and keyboard player Joseph Arazi, the two moved from Tel Aviv to Los Angeles in 2017 in order to pursue their passion and hunger for music.
Their debut music video "Our Eyes" received critical acclaim and reached over 100,000 YouTube views. Their self-titled debut EP is a fusion of dark, emotionally driven trip hop, alongside catchy, up-tempo alternative-pop.
After the successful reception of their debut, Grace Blue are now ready to release their new video for 'Nowhere To Go'. Produced by renown Israeli producer Noam Akrabi (Eliad Nachom, Idan Raichel, Ivri Lider), the single is a stunning alt-pop anthem, featuring cascading synths, resonating melodies and Mogz's powerful vocals. "The song was written about being stuck in an unhealthy situation in your life, in a relationship that isn't good for you, whether it's a romantic one, a family one or even with a friend or a job, because you don't feel like you have a better option", reveals Mogz.
The video for the upcoming single is a beautifully cinematic piece of art, portraying the narrative of a very sick father-daughter relationship where the girl is longing for attention and love that she later understands that she'll never get from her father. The video represents how we all tend to try to fix relationships that cannot be fixed and let them damage us and trap us in the fantasy of what it should or could be and not believe we deserve better.
Grace Blue are ready for the next chapter in their musical endeavor.

New Zealand Plans to Become First Country to Require Climate Risk Reporting
Image Source: https://www.ecowatch.com/
New Zealand could be the first country in the world to require its major financial institutions to report on the risks posed by the climate crisis.
This means that about 200 of the country's biggest companies and banks would have to report on the impact that extreme weather events or climate polices will have on their business, Stuff explained.
"Today is another step on the journey this Government is taking towards a low carbon future for Aotearoa New Zealand and a cleaner, safer planet for future generations," said Minister for Climate Change James Shaw Tuesday, Scoop reported.
The move builds on New Zealand's emerging legacy of climate action, such as its historic Zero Carbon Bill that committed the country to honoring the goals of the Paris agreement and achieving zero carbon emissions by 2050.
However, New Zealand's parliament is currently dissolved ahead of the Oct. 17 election, The Guardian reported. In order for it to enter into force, Shaw's party, the Green Party, would have to enter a coalition government after the election and the proposal would then have to pass parliament.
If it passes, every New Zealand bank, building society, credit union, insurer or Crown Financial Institution with more than $1 billion in assets will have to report annually on the risk climate change poses to its business or explain why it cannot, according to Stuff. That report would include what the risks are, how the institution is managing them and how it is working to address the impacts of climate change.
"Many large businesses in New Zealand do not currently have a good understanding of how climate change will impact on what they do," Shaw said. "The changes I am announcing today will bring climate risks and resilience into the heart of financial and business decision making. It will ensure the disclosure of climate risk is clear, comprehensive and mainstream."
Shaw said that Australia, Canada, UK, France, Japan and the European Union were developing some form of climate risk reporting, but New Zealand's plan was more ambitious because it included the whole financial system, according to Scoop. The institutions covered by the policy account for 90 percent of the assets controlled in New Zealand, Stuff reported.
If the proposal passes parliament, the climate reporting would begin in 2023.
Nobel Laureate in economics Joseph Stiglitz praised the proposed plan, according to The Guardian.
"Once again, New Zealand is leading the world… It led the world in showing how democratic countries could manage the risks of Covid-19," he said. "And now, New Zealand is leading the way in showing how we can help manage the risk of climate change."

Q: Proper way of setting up If-Modified-Since in Prestashop I am currently working on a website, that is built on Prestashop (1.6.1.5 version to be exact). I have a problem with the correct way of setting up If-Modified-Since tag.
I know that in Wordpress in order to set it up, you have to open WP-config file and add
    header("Last-Modified:" . the_modified_date());

But which file should I edit when using Prestashop? And can I use the same line or should I write something different?
Also: I have to edit files in FTP, I cannot add specific modules.

A: The command header("Last-Modified:" . the_modified_date()); is adding a Last-Modified line to the http header of the page. To obtain the date it uses the the_modified_date() function that only exists in Wordpress.
You can achieve something of the kind (if your hosting has an Apache server) by modifying the .htaccess file that you should find at the root directory of your Prestashop installation. This file is read by the Apache server every time the server gets a request.
If this is the case, you have to add something before this line:
# ~~start~~ Do not remove this comment, Prestashop will keep automatically the code outside this comment when .htaccess will be generated again

The best place may be right before that line. Add the following:
<ifModule mod_headers.c>
  Header set Last-Modified "Wed, 27 Sep 2017 00:00:00 GMT"
</ifModule>

This change will tag all your http responses with the modified date that you set in the .htaccess file. Not ideal, but it may serve the purpose of informing search engines that you have made changes to your shop.
If this is not what you are looking for, please especify the ultimate purpose of adding a modification date to the http header.

So I finally went back for my follow up body fat test last Tuesday. I didn't really know what to expect. I knew I had lost some weight and I could see more muscle definition, but I wasn't sure. I told myself I would be happy with anything under 30% since I was 33.8 the last time I went.
So of course in the lead up to the test I had like 5 cheat meals. Insert eye roll here. Saturday was margaritas and Mexican for dinner. Sunday was brunch and champagne and pizza. And then Monday was more Mexican bc of Sunday. Whoops.
Then at lunch time I headed over to visit Heather. The got a new machine that's so supposed to be even more accurate than the BodPod and you don't even have to strip down lol.
So I lost 6.3 pounds and 6% body fat. Total time elapsed between tests was 16 weeks.
This places me in the moderately lean category for women.


The Dayton business community rocked out Thursday night at the Dayton Business Journal's annual Best Places to Work event, held downtown at the Schuster Center. The event — which featured a rock and roll theme — drew nearly 250 attendees and recognized 15 companies in the Dayton region. The Best Places to Work gala also featured an "air guitar" challenge. McAfee was among the 2012 Best Places to Work winners! 2012 marks the 8th year in a row the DBJ has conducted this very popular awards program. After the winners were recognized, the "air guitar" challenge began. After a heated battle, the team from TriComB2B claimed victory after performing AC/DC's "It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock and Roll.)" They narrowly edged out (in a tiebreaker) the team from Devry, which skillfully handled Prince's "When Doves Cry." We are pleased to announce McAfee took 3rd place with their air guitar rendition of A/C D/C's "To Those About to Rock". McAfee recognizes that this victory would not have been possible if it were not for the positive marks and wonderful feedback members of the McAfee team provided.


Tvm: Irish singer, songwriter, author, occasional actor and political activist, Robert Frederick Zenon 'Bob' Geldof will perform in Trivandrum at the Nishagandhi on November 14, 2010 as the last night party of the Hay Festival.
Geldof is widely recognised for his activism, especially anti-poverty efforts concerning Africa. In 1984, he and Midge Ure founded the charity super group Band Aid to raise money for famine relief in Ethiopia. They went on to organise the charity super-concert Live Aid the following year and the Live 8 concerts in 2005.
Earlier today, Bob Geldoff at a press conference held as part of the Hay Festival said, "Indian investments in Africa may have questions cropping up relating to India's status as a foreign aid receiver, however there is no need of such a concern as in the long run as India stands poised to be an economic powerhouse".

Brian Austin Green says he 'doesn't care' that his son Noah enjoys wearing dresses.
The actor's eldest son is regularly photographed in dresses and skirts with wife Megan Fox but Brian says he thinks it's 'awesome' that his son experiments with clothing.
The Anger Management star, who has three young sons, told the Youtube channel Hollywood Pipeline that as long as his son is happy he doesn't care what he wears.
The family received a backlash earlier this year when Noah was pictured wearing a Frozen dress while out and about with mum Megan.
The four year old was in the bright blue gown worn by Disney's Snow Queen Elsa but it seems that many commentators and fans felt it was inappropriate for the young boy to dress up as the Disney star.
Megan spoke to Jimmy Kimmel last year about her non-traditional parenting choices: 'The boys can wear dresses. Noah wears dresses so there are no rules — you can be whatever you want to be in my house'.
Despite some disagreeing with the choice many have come out in favour of Megan and Brian's approach to dressing their young sons.
However, their marriage has been far from smooth the New Girl actress filed for divorce in August 2015 but the couple never went through with it and reconciled last year after announcing the birth of their third child.

DoorDash Will Pay D.C. $2.5 Million to Settle Claims the Company Stole Workers' Tips
Ryan J. Farrick — November 26, 2020
Much like an unscrupulous restaurateur, DoorDash allegedly bundled delivery workers' tips into their base-pay–thus ensuring that gratuity only rarely added anything extra to a job well done. Image via PublicDomainPictures.net. Public domain.
DoorDash has categorically denied the allegations, yet changed its policies in September 2019 to ensure that its workers receive the gratuity consumers thought they were paying.
Food delivery application DoorDash will pay $2.5 million to settle claims that it stole workers' tips in Washington, D.C.
According to The Washington Post, the lawsuit against DoorDash was filed in November 2019. Lodged by D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine, the complaint alleges that DoorDash employed a misleading in-app interference between 2017 and 2019.
That interference, says the Post, suggested that customers who wished to add a "tip" would be supplementing their delivery driver's gross earnings.
In reality, though, DoorDash's optional "tips" were pocketed by the company; gratuity payments were, at best, used to supplement the flat $7-per-delivery rate DoorDash pays its drivers.
"Any reasonable consumer would have expected that the 'tip' they added to the delivery charge through the DoorDash checkout screenflow would be provided to the Dasher on top of the payment promised by DoorDash for the delivery," the lawsuit asserted. "But during the relevant period of time, that was not the case.
"Instead," the suit continues, "DoorDash used consumer tips to subsidize the Guaranteed Amount payment [per delivery] promised to Dashers."
Karl Racine, Washington, D.C.'s first elected attorney general. Image via Wikimedia Commons via D.C. government. (CCA-BY-1.0).
As LegalReader has reported before, DoorDash did face criticism for doing everything within its power to make its tipping and payment policies as obfuscating as possible—virtually guaranteeing that most consumers would not know where their tips were really going.
Racine's lawsuit claims that DoorDash's "disclosures" about its pay model were "ambiguous, confusing, and misleading," in that they encouraged customers to tip but "did not disclose, in the vast majority of circumstances, [that tips would] make no difference at all to a Dasher's pay and would only go toward subsidizing DoorDash's share of Dasher pay."
While DoorDash has long denied any wrongdoing, the company did change its policy in September 2019. The settlement, as such, only covers claims from when the more deceptive tip policy was in effect.
Of the $2.5 million total award, $1.5 million will go to jilted delivery workers and $750,000 to Washington, D.C. The remaining quarter-million will be split between two D.C.-area charities.
"Today's settlement rights a wrong that deceived D.C. customers and deprived workers of monies that they should have been paid," Racine said in a statement. "Gig economy companies provide important and necessary services, especially during the pandemic. However, the law applies to these companies, just as it does to their brick and mortar counterparts."
The Washington Post notes that the settlement's consent order allows DoorDash to makes it payments and agree to D.C.'s conditions without actually admitting wrongdoing.
Campbell Matthews, a DoorDash spokesperson, said the company is "pleased to have this issue behind us."
"Our focus," Matthews said, "is on continuing to support Dashers, restaurants, and customers in D.C. and around the country."

Grange Park made a real discovery in South African bass Musa Ngqungwana but it's a Brit, Sarah-Jane Lewis, who almost steals the show in Porgy & Bess
By David Mellor for Event
Porgy & Bess
Grange Park Opera, Surrey Until July 7
The country house opera season has a way to go, but already real achievements attest to the quality of the work now being undertaken. Garsington's The Bartered Bride has won golden opinions everywhere, despite the curious decision to retain the Czech language in a production set in England.
And the Grange's Falstaff has been equally widely hailed.
Now comes Grange Park's Porgy & Bess which, for me, matches the Metropolitan Opera-led co-production with ENO and others at the Coliseum last year.
They have made a real discovery in South African bass Musa Ngqungwana, who plays Porgy. His dignity of bearing is the linchpin of the whole show
There, Catfish Row looked like a posh Miami condo. Francis O'Connor's sets and David Plater's lighting here create way more atmosphere.
It's a huge undertaking for an unsubsidised theatre to scour the world for black performers of stature to honour the admirable policy of the Gershwin estate that all on stage should be people of colour, apart from, of course, the bullying policemen.
And they have made a real discovery in South African bass Musa Ngqungwana, who plays Porgy. His dignity of bearing is the linchpin of the whole show.
It's a Brit, Sarah-Jane Lewis (pictured above with Aime Foon), who almost steals the show as a charismatic Serena
Compared to him, Laquita Mitchell's Bess is a bit pallid, even though she has performed the role all over the US.
Another South African, Rheinaldt Tshepo Moagi, is a capable Sportin' Life, but without that final ounce of comic talent needed to bring the character fully alive.
Donovan Singletary's Crown is a real success; physically dominant, as Crown should be, and musically assured.
IT'S A FACT
The show that introduced America's National Theatre to non-segregation of its audience was Porgy & Bess, when it played there in 1936.
Francesca Chiejina, a Nigerian American, as Clara, sings Summertime with real radiance. But it's a Brit, Sarah-Jane Lewis, who almost steals the show as a charismatic Serena.
In the pit, the BBC Concert Orchestra surpass themselves under the eloquent direction of Stephen Barlow.
The direction of Jean-Pierre van der Spuy is not quite up to what we saw at the Coliseum. Porgy & Bess is a problematic work, with great moments like Summertime, but some pretty iffy quarter-hours in between.
Gershwin did not live long enough to sort out all these problems, as he would surely have wanted to.
Put simply, van der Spuy needs to show a bit more flair in covering up these longueurs in the way Trevor Nunn did in that totally memorable Glyndebourne version with Sir Simon Rattle in 1986, which can still be found on DVD.
Longborough Festival Opera, Glos
What Martin and Lizzie Graham have achieved in 29 years of the Longborough Festival is a musical miracle. Not only have they converted a chicken shed into a commodious opera house, complete with a cod-Bayreuth frontage, but also, on meagre resources, they have put on Wagner operas of real quality.
In 2013, Wagner's bicentenary, Longborough was the only opera company in Britain to put on a complete staged Ring. Very good it was too. And now they have come back with a new version of the first bit, Das Rheingold.
As always, it was splendidly conducted by the veteran Anthony Negus, who has devoted his working life to Wagner. This time the direction was even clearer and the sets more colourful, with excellent videos, thanks to a new signing, Covent Garden's Amy Lane and her team.
Some of the singing was absolutely first class, especially from Mark Stone, a revelation as Alberich (more Wagner from him, please), as well as from Darren Jeffery (an imposing Wotan) and Mark Le Brocq (a subtle, sophisticated Loge).
Inevitably, not all the cast were on that level. Certainly the giants, for instance, lacked real vocal heft. But with a team of charismatic, roof-raising Rhinemaidens, this was a hugely enjoyable evening.
So hats off to Lizzie and Martin. And here's to Die Walküre next summer.
It's a Brit, Sarah-Jane Lewis, who almost steals the show in Grange Park Opera's Porgy & Bess


Wood burners are typically made from either cast iron or steel; cast iron allows more ornate or intricate designs and finishes, but is less tolerant of overheating (or over-firing). By contrast, steel is much more tolerant of the extremes of heat that wood burners can generate which is likely to translate to a longer lifespan, and modern technology can make it an even more efficient heat conductor.
At Fire Crest Stoves we understand that your stove needs not only be practical – it should look beautiful. There are many designs of stoves on the market to choose from and our surveyors will advise you on all types of stoves available and the installation requirements needed to create the look you are after. We pride ourselves on good old fashion customer service and all quality workmanship is carried out within the company and not sub-contacted to outside contractors.


TEHRAN (FNA) – Foreign-backed militants suffered major losses in Daraa province, as the Syrian Army gained ground in its fight against the armed groups.
The army soldiers made major advances in the areas of Nawa and al-Khuder in the countryside of Daraa, and claimed the lives of scores of the rebels.
Also, the Syrian Armed Forces stormed the hideouts of the insurgents in the towns of al-Sheikh Maskeen, Da'el, Ebtaa and Tafas in Daraa countryside, killing large numbers of them.

How to use SpeedFan's command line parameters?
This switch will prevent SpeedFan from accessing the PCI BUS. This means that it won't detect video cards, south bridges and the likes. This switch will basically prevent most operations. Almost no SMBus will be found. It can be used as an extreme test to find what is causing SpeedFan to hang. If your sensors are located on the ISA BUS you might still get all relevant info about your system even if you use this switch.
Most sensors are accessible through the SMBus. If you use this switch, the SMBus will be detected, but not accessed or scanned for devices. If SpeedFan hangs while scanning the SMBus then there might be some dumb or custom device that doesn't like SpeedFan probing routines. SpeedFan probes for devices in a way that should minimize side effects and, actually, this process works fine on 99.99% of known motherboards. You can use this switch to speed things up too. If you already launched SpeedFan and found that no relevant info need to access the SMBus, then you can use this switch to prevent SpeedFan from scanning it.
The SuperIO chip contains several functionalities. From the keyboard interface, to floppy, serial and parallel ports, power management and so on. Some SuperIO chips also contain hardware monitoring capabilities and/or fan control support. This is the reason why SpeedFan tries to automatically identify them. This works most of the time, but it looks like that some manufacturers are using custom devices and configurations that collide with this detection process. Such manufacturers include DELL (but not all DELL products). If SpeedFan hangs or causes your system to crash, this switch will be a good candidate for a fix.
This switch was added a long time ago and I never suggested anybody to use it. It might lead to interesting results though. Basically it allows SpeedFan to check the SMBus in a slower way. Usually SpeedFan does a preliminary test at every SMBus address. If no device answers that test SpeedFan completely ignores that address. If you use this switch, SpeedFan will query all SMBus addresses for data. The process will certainly take longer and it might cause the system to hang. It has not been extensively tested, but, on some systems it might even fix a crash. Anyway: I suggest only advanced and experienced users to use it.
This is the only switch that was ever added to support any specific motherboard. It is needed to enable full TYAN TigerMP support. The BIOS for this motherboard won't initialize hardware monitoring unless you enter the relevant page in BIOS setup. You need to do this whenever you reboot your system. This is not, obviously, a viable everyday option. Since the BIOS doesn't even set an I/O space for one device, SpeedFan can't do that automagically (it actually might, but it might cause troubles) and this switch needs to be used.
If you use this switch, SpeedFan will do everything but starting the timer. The timer is what makes SpeedFan update readings. If you just want to see what SpeedFan detects on your system, this is the right option for you. If SpeedFan properly starts on your system, but it hangs after a few seconds, this switch will let you use the SEND REPORT facility on the INFO tab to contact me and try to find a fix for your issue. There is no danger in using this switch.
SpeedFan uses standard calls to the OS to access S.M.A.R.T. info. Unfortunately, some drivers do not work fine and cause the whole system to crash when queried the standard way. Such drivers included some from Silicon Image and some others from nVidia (for nForce 4). You will see that every S.M.A.R.T. enabled tool will crash with such drivers. This switch will prevent SpeedFan from accessing S.M.A.R.T.. You will not see any info about your IDE or SATA hard disks.
According to my knowledge, SpeedFan SCSI access never caused any issue. This switch will prevent SpeedFan from accessing SCSI devices at all.
ACPI is for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. On some computers, SpeedFan can read no other temperature, but the one(s) exposed through this method. Usually this is a redundant reading and you can safely use this switch to completely prevent SpeedFan from looking for it. A better option would be to enter CONFIG and to hide the relevant reading in the temperature tab.
This switch prevents SpeedFan from checking for a specific device driver from Toshiba that enables turning the fan on and off. There is no real reason to use this switch and I never suggested anybody to use it to fix any issue.
SpeedFan checks for ASUS SMARTDOCTOR and it can access its readings on some systems. This has been obsoleted by latest video card access routines. If you don't want SpeedFan to access your SmartDoctor, feel free to use this command line parameter.
NVidia Video Cards might include some sensors available on the I2C BUS. I2C is a superset of the SMBus. Since NVidia chose not to support SpeedFan, I had to add support for it to the best of my knowledge and findings. If SpeedFan hangs or slows down accessing the I2C bus from NVidia, you can use this switch to prevent SpeedFan from accessing it at all. You will no longer see any reading that was using this bus. On Intel systems with HyperThreading enabled you will see a 50% usage even at system idle when SpeedFan collides with something else accessing the video card and is no longer able to gather info from it. If this is what happens to you, feel free to use this switch to fix the issue.
Internal core temperature access for AMD K8 class CPUs can be disabled usig this switch. It is unlikely that you will ever need to use it.
This switch can be used to do SMBus advanced debugging. You can find the full explaination for it in the online help file (just press F1 while running SpeedFan).

Once upon a time, a king of wines was born. No one is sure exactly when, but first mention of his name is to be found in 1435, in the inventories of a German count, which mentions the cost of a purchase of vines it calls 'Rießlingen'. It is, of course, the mighty Riesling, and if an inauspicious start for a king destined to conquer the world, then it fits well with a story of humble beginnings, of misunderstood character, and of a late and great flowering.
Thought to have wandered in from the wild, we now know that the king also comes from cultivated stock, his parents including lowly Gouais, father of many a fine white grape, and ancient Traminer, forerunner to Savagnin blanc. A late developer, he preferred cool sunny climes, and was most particular about exactly where he put down roots. This being so, while liked for his light, crisp and flowery freshness, he was an uneasy friend, hard to please, and stubborn. He was overlooked in favour of young pretenders.
Unperturbed, the king found solace among the people of Mosel and Rheingau, of Pfalz, and of Nahre. Here, he had all the sun he needed. He stood on steep, well drained slopes. It was not too hot and it was not too cold. He was loved, and he loved back, his character changing and reflecting perfectly the different parts of his growing kingdom, his ability to age bettering even many a long-living Bordeaux.
And so it was and so it is. Vanquishing before him all that have taken his name in vain, the king marched and marches on, settling in other parts of Germany, in Alsace, in the Wachau Valley of Austria, in New Zealand, in California, in the Clare and Eden valleys of Adelaide, in Washington state, in Finger Lakes New York, and as a most fine icewine in Ontario, Canada. All hail Riesling, king of all the grapes. You came, you saw, you conquered – eventually.

Japanese PM Kishida Leads Critical Charge at Pessimistic UN General Assembly Opening
'Our world is in big trouble' . . .
The first in-person United Nations General Assembly in three years opened in New York City yesterday amid widespread pessimism about the state of global affairs, the climate crisis, and co-operation at multilateral organizations. UN Secretary-General António Guterres opened the leader-level debates by bluntly stating, "Our world is in big trouble. Divides are growing deeper. Inequalities are growing wider. Challenges are spreading farther." Several leaders from Asia, including the Philippines, South Korea, Japan, and some Pacific states, have, or are expected to address, the general assembly. Notable absences include China's President Xi Jinping, Russia's President Vladimir Putin, and India's Prime Minister Modi.
Foundations of rule-of-law being shaken . . .
Yesterday's speech by Japan's Prime Minister Kishida Fumio stood out for its calls to action to re-affirm the world's rules-based order and the need to reform the United Nations. He said that "Russia's aggression against Ukraine is an act that tramples on the vision and principles of the UN Charter. What is crucial is for any and all countries to be under the rule of law – not the rule by force, which we absolutely cannot allow." He pointed out how the UN has been moving away from its founding ideals of existing for the benefit of all countries and not only great powers. As such, he contended the UN – notably the Security Council – needs reform to return to the visions and principles of the UN Charter and to strengthen its functions to support peace, disarmament, and human security. Kishida said that Japan is prepared to help lead the way.
Sustainable Development Goals not on track . . .
To Canada's credit, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is co-chair of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Advocates group, which will discuss how to move forward on climate action, the empowerment of women, reducing inequality, protecting biodiversity, and improving food security. This may require a new approach considering progress on the 21 SDGs has stagnated, notably throughout the Asia Pacific, over the last three years. The general pessimism over the first two days of the general assembly raises the question of whether the UN can live up to its mandate and this year's theme, "A watershed moment: transformative solutions to interlocking challenges."

We are falling in all RPI ratings which is no biggy but

Acc is weak overall, very weak. If we win acc can we expect the number one seed in East? At the beginning of season i assumed so, but now not convinced...

Moneyline Master
If we win the ACC the only way I see us losing the east is if Ohio st. has a monstrous B1G year
TDTOrange
The individual RPI ranking has very little impact on seeding. Don't get too worked up over the specific ranking, it all comes down to winning the league and/or conf tournament. Do that and the tournament placement will take care of itself.
Reactions: pfister1 and realorange
TDTOrange said:
Not every winner out of big ten, big twelve, pac ten, sec , aac or big east, and acc can get a number one seed. Rpi is part of the equation in determing which if those winners gets the one. But i guess if we win acc we at worst case scenario could get a 2 and stay in east?
Jack Hall said:
I guess what I mean is your RPI is what it is at the end of the year, and it's more a reflection of who you played and how many games you've won. The selection committee ranks teams based upon complete resumes, not necessarily what the RPI ranking is (however, #1 seeds should all have pretty high RPIs due to the nature of the formula).
If the end goal is to have a favorable regional placement, it all comes down to winning games. If you don't have one of the best 2 or 3 resumes at the end of the year, it's going to be a crap-shoot as to where you're placed.

The Midwest regional is in Indianapolis. Don't even think we are competing with them for seeding. If we go 15-3 in the ACC and make it to the semis, we should be set up pretty nice for a 1 or 2 in the east.

NKR1978 said:
Ahh, good call
Had to look that up. Honestly want nothing to do with OSU for as long as possible. But have to figure we are in the driver's seat for the East #1, Arizona for the West with Ohio State and Wisconsin fighting for the Midwest and Wichita getting plugged into the South if they go undefeated.
Reactions: 690West

#1 seeds are based on top 50 wins and records, conference titles and "rep" of conference.
Certainly you will not likely see anybody outside of the top 10 in RPI competing for a 1 seed, but being top 4 in RPI is not that important for a one seed. If you do what is needed to be a #1 seed, you will be top 10 RPI.
I view RPI as merely a "you need to at least consider me for further analysis" number, especially for the bubble.
Where the weakness of the ACC could hurt is if we were a 3/4/5 seed type team and it could impact us one seed line... and make the difference between Buffalo or not. It could have mattered if we were in the ACC last year for example.
But our team appears to be a step above that level (despite yesterday)
Its not RPI that tends to come into play (directly anyway). League weakness impacts the number of top 50 wins you can have, so I guess it could impact our chance at a #1. It looks like the Big Ten and possibly the Big 12 will get the opportunity for most top 50 wins this year.
But if we continue to play well, we will have enough on our resume. It will not result in an inferior B12 team being seeded above us. But if we are basically very close, the top 50 could push those other conferneces ahead of us.
OrlandoCuse
We win the ACC with no more than 4 losses and we are a #1 seed, most likely in the East. There's not even much to debate about is we accomplish that type if record.
If we do end up as a 2 seed, and top in the ACC. the east is a near certainty. It would take a stronger team in the east as #2 to dislodge us from that spot. Who could that be? Nova? Its doubtful - no top players in the East this year.
PeteCalvin
I don't see a BiG team getting a #1 seed in the East unless they are #1 in the polls for the last 5 weeks of the season. ACC winner will get #1 seed in the East if the team is in the top 4. The BiG would want the Midwest anyway.
OrlandoCuse said:
4 losses appears to be a very good line for the "safe" zone. The only risk of losing #1 in the east (and still being a #1) in that scenario is if Ohio St and Michigan St do the same in the B10. Unlikely.
jdubs30
jncuse said:
As long as we keep winning it doesn't matter how bad the ACC is. You're right if fall to a 5, it would matter. But for us to be a 5 at this point we'd have to collapse. We're 14-0. If we get a 5 seed we'll probably be 20-11 or around there.
EDIT: I lied, a 5 would be probaby be like 23-8 overall.
PeteCalvin said:
Only plausible scenario I can find taking a #1 seed away from us in NYC.
Assume the committee rankings are as follows:
1. Arizona (Anaheim)
2. Ohio St (Indy)
3. Michigan St (New York City)
4. Syracuse (Memphis)
Michigan St as the #3 team has its preference over Memphis and New York City, and committee would assign it NYC. But if Wisconsin or Ohio St would be in that 3 spot, I think Memphis is about as close as NYC for either, so they would give them Memphis.
If there is a second BIG team ahead of us, as long as its not Michigan St we are safe for MSG..
Well if we win the ACC it won't matter I wouldn't think. Couldn't see both MSU and OSU getting a 1 since only 1 can win the B10; unless they split the tourney and reg season and we only win 1.
jdubs30 said:
The 4 seed would also likely be a disaster for people with tickets for Buffalo.
You were right in correcting yourself on the records.
I don't know if people remember last year, but every team fighting for the last #1 spot had some questionable games as the season ended. The difference between the worst #1 seed and the teams competing for the 3 seed line (and the teams that missed it) were not that big.
You do not need to win your conference title to be a #1 if you conference is the clear #1 and provides enough quality wins that help your resume. I believe it has happened a few times the last 10 years. but I certainly know it happened once.
Just a few years ago, the Big East had 3 #1 seeds. So only two could win the conference titles.
Orange2389
We must not have any What losses. None. Split with Duke and finish either 1 in conference standings or win ACC tourny. MSG is ours.
Doesn't really matter how we get there. Just win.
dinno28
Scout Team
unless Arizona has a collapse they will get the 1 in the west... if we win the acc we will get the 1 in the east ... and likely 2 big ten teams (out of Michigan St, Ohio St and Wisconsin) will get the other 2 #1 seeds ,,, Wichita st will likely get a 2 unless they win out in convincing fashion
Bored Historian
The ACC looked pretty strong yesterday.
dinno28 said:
Its too early to count out certain teams from building a #1 worthy resume. In particular the Big 12 champ. Whoever wins the conference will have many top 50 wins, and all the big players have some nice OOC wins.
But if teams like Florida, Nova only lose a couple of times in conference, they have a great shot as well.
I also think like last year the one seeds are going to have 5 or 6 losses, so anybody that has been merely good in the OOC in a major conference, and may already 2 or 3 losses can still recover.

Franklin Graham Boycotts Wells Fargo And It Doesn't Stop There

Franklin Graham, an evangelical Christian preacher and son of Billy Graham, has called for a new boycott on gay-friendly businesses–and he's just getting started.
After banking giant Wells Fargo ran a TV ad featuring a lesbian couple and their adopted daughter, Graham announced that he'd move all of the bank accounts for his two ministries–Billy Graham Evangelistic Associate and Samaritan's Purse–out of the bank. He plans to have the accounts, which total a whopping $460 million in assets, closed within the next 30 days.
"This is the only way we as Christians can speak out–we have the power of choice," Graham said, on a Facebook post. "Let's just stop doing business with those who promote sin and stand against Almighty God's laws and His standards."
He added: "Maybe if enough of us do this, it will get their attention."
And just like that, Graham's boycott was born.
Graham's not targeting companies that hire or serve gay or lesbians–that would be virtually impossible, considering practically every nationwide brand has done so.
But he plans to make sure his money (and his ministries' money) doesn't go to companies that actively promote "a godless lifestyle," as he puts it. He adds that companies "should not be trying to get into a moral debate and take sides."
Overall, Graham's plan seems to be to mobilize Christians into boycotting these businesses–just enough to make sure they stop airing offensive ads like the ones Wells Fargo did, which Graham considers to be against Christian teachings.
With the boycott just beginning, it's hard to know exactly how many Christians Graham can rally against nationwide companies that are pro-gay marriage—but Christians remain a large majority of Americans, so it's possible that this could have a sizeable impact.
However, he faces an uphill climb in mobilizing many of those Christians: in a recent poll, apparently 7 in 10 Americans feel the gay marriage fight is already lost–admitting that it's "inevitable" that gay marriage will eventually be legal in all 50 states.
But Graham–and the Christians in his ministries–aren't going down without a fight. Only time will tell whether or not they can make enough of an impact to stem the tide.

Crazy, huh? They even have the same chubby cheeks! Just thought I would share. And can I just mention that Lily must think her left side is her best side because I could find no photos except one of her right side…model behavior! Anyway, stay tuned because my normal post will be coming shortly – a Girl Crush post!


Product Overview: Full length Human TPA Tissue Plasminogen Activator labelled at the active site with ATA-Phe-Pro-Arg-CMK, MWt 70kDa.
Description: This gene encodes tissue-type plasminogen activator, a secreted serine protease which converts the proenzyme plasminogen to plasmin, a fibrinolytic enzyme. Tissue-type plasminogen activator is synthesized as a single chain which is cleaved by plasmin to a two chain disulfide linked protein. This enzyme plays a role in cell migration and tissue remodeling. Increased enzymatic activity causes hyperfibrinolysis, which manifests as excessive bleeding; decreased activity leads to hypofibrinolysis which can result in thrombosis or embolism. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Tissue specificity: Synthesized in numerous tissues (including tumors) and secreted into most extracellular body fluids, such as plasma, uterine fluid, saliva, gingival crevicular fluid, tears, seminal fluid, and milk.
Sequence Similarities: Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.Contains 1 EGF-like domain.Contains 1 fibronectin type-I domain.Contains 2 kringle domains.Contains 1 peptidase S1 domain.

Private Jewish Tours Marseille
Port of Marseille
Gate to the Orient
Marseille is France's largest city and port on the Mediterranean and, with an 80,000 strong community, boasts the second largest Jewish population in France. The earliest presence of Jews in Marseille can be traced to the 6th century. The Spanish-Jewish traveler Benjamin of Tudela reported that there were 300 Jewish families in Marseille in 1165. One of the letters sent by Maimonides was to the "Wise Men of the Congregation of Marseille." Along with much of Europe, the 15th century brought persecution and expulsions. The modern Jewish community was re-founded in 1760 and in 1864 the oriental-style Temple Breteuil, opened. Built by Nathan Solomon, it remains an inspirational testimony of the legendary Jewish community of the port of Marseille.
At the beginning of WWII, Marseille was part of a "free zone" which ended in 1942 with Nazi occupation and deportations. Marseille had its own Raoul Wallenberg in the form of U.S. vice-consul Harry Bingham who issued more than 2,500 U.S. entry visas to Jews in danger, among them, the painter Marc Chagall.
Today the city is home to many synagogues, countless kosher grocery stores and restaurants, many Jewish schools and kindergartens. Today's community is made up of Sephardi and Mizrahi Jews who moved from North Africa in recent decades, making for a lively mix in the metropolitan area. So whether one takes a walk along the Corniche – the spectacular coastal promenade – or takes an excursion in the Bay of Marseille to the Island of If, where the Château d'If was made famous by the novel The Count of Monte Cristo – there is much to do and see alongside Jewish Marseille.
Marseille is also one of our many port destinations. If you plan to come to your guided tour(s) by cruise ship, we would be more than happy to arrange for your transfer and arrival!

AmEx advisory unit faces charges
By John Spence
Published: Feb 18, 2005 4:10 p.m. ET
N.H. officials target potential conflicts of interest
JohnSpence
BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- The New Hampshire Bureau of Securities Regulation has filed a complaint against American Express Financial Advisors, a unit of American Express Co., alleging it provided incentives to advisers for selling underperforming in-house mutual funds without notifying customers of potential conflicts of interest.
State regulators are also charging that the unit had directed-brokerage arrangements where it would receive extra brokerage commissions from fund companies in exchange for listing the funds on preferred lists.
The bureau alleges American Express Financial Advisors "breached its duty by failing to properly disclose to its clients in writing before advice was given the existence of material conflicts of interest which could reasonably be expected to impair the rendering of unbiased and objective investment advice."
"We have been cooperating fully with state regulators and will continue to do so to resolve this matter," said David Kanihan, a spokesman at American Express Financial Advisors.
Earlier this month, American Express said it plans to spin off its financial advisory unit to focus on its credit card and travel businesses.
Shares of American Express AXP, -0.50% lost 37 cents to close $54.13 on Friday.

Current conditions at Waimea Bay Beach Park
Winds East at 12.7 MPH (11 KT)
Recorded Tuesday, July 16, 2019 - 10:53am
Don't jump!

She left her friends and turned homeward to Kahuku. At Waialua she encountered a wind and rain storm. The water poured down the hillsides and washed out the trails, but she cared not at all.
At Waimea she went along the shore in the storm. The river of Waimea almost overflowed its banks and the beach was full of people. In the olden days the natives of Waimea enjoyed riding the huge surf up into the stream when it was slightly swollen. This sport was called waipueone.
Thus our traveler crossed Waimea on a surfboard without encountering trouble. This was said to be a favorite sport of the olden days and the boards did not sink when managed with skill.
"Na Pana Kaulana o ka Aina o Oahu" by George Pooloa
Ke Aloha Aina, Hawaiian language newspaper
Waimea, or "reddish water," is the first place on O'ahu where contact was made between foreigners and Hawaiians. After Captain Cook was killed at Kealakekua Bay on February 14, 1779, his two ships, the Discovery and the Resolution, anchored at Waimea for water on their way to Kaua'i. Cook's officers described the bay as picturesque, beautiful, well-cultivated, and heavily populated.
In 1793, Captain Vancouver's store ship, the Daedalus, brought the second group of foreigners to Waimea. They, too, anchored in the bay for water and sent a small boat ashore. While the crew was filling their barrels in the stream, two of them were killed in an attack by Hawaiians who wanted their weapons.
The Hawaiian community remained in Waimea until 1894, when a flood devastated the valley, destroying most of the house sites. In the aftermath, few of the displaced residents returned.
In 1929, C.W. Winstedt won the contract to build Kamehameha Highway from Waimea to Kahuku. In 1930 he set up the Waimea Rock Quarry to produce gravel for his project, abandoning the site in 1932 after the road was completed. In April 1953 the Catholic mission transformed the facility into a church, the Saints Paul and Peter Mission. The machine sheds were converted into a patio and chapel and the tall storage bins became the church tower, now one of the North Shore's most famous landmarks.
Waimea Bay is one of the most famous big wave surf sites in the world. Waves breaking on the north point of the bay often reach heights of 25 feet, attracting many of the best riders in the international surfing community. A unique surfing contest called "The Eddie" is held here during the winter months if surf heights consistently reach 20 feet or higher. Officially known as the Quicksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational, the event honors Eddie Aikau (1946-1978), a veteran big wave surfer and lifeguard at Waimea Bay. The contest has only been completed five times since it was first held in 1986. Winners were Clyde Aikau (1986), Keone Downing (1990), Noah Johnson (1999), Ross Clarke-Jones (2001), and Kelly Slater (2002).
During the summer months the wide sand beach at Waimea is a popular swimming, snorkeling, and fishing site. In 2002, the Pupukea Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD) fronting Pupukea Beach Park was expanded to include the bay and the Wananapaoa Islands. The MLCD rules permit only hook-and-line fishing from the shore of the bay.
Public amenities: parking, restrooms, picnic tables, showers.

Frost*: Falling Satellites (Gatefold white 2LP+CD) - Limited to 100 copies!
Posted by Laurie Monk on August 25, 2016
Limited to 100 copies!
FALLING SATELLITES
GATEFOLD WHITE 2LP+CD
Artist: Frost*
Format: LP + CD
Label: InsideOut Music
After an 8 year silence, 2016 finally sees the release of the long awaited 3rd album by neo progressive rockers FROST*, "Falling Satellites". The brainchild of keyboard player Jem Godfrey, FROST* released their first album, "Milliontown" to critical acclaim in 2006. Then as now, Godfrey is joined by long term collaborator John Mitchell (Lonely Robot/It Bites) on guitar and vocals plus Nathan King (Level 42) on bass and drummer Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson). "This line-up has been in existence since 2010 and is now the longest version of FROST* that there's ever been", says Godfrey, "so it's strange to think that this is the first time we've recorded an album together". "Falling Satellites" is still unmistakably a continuation of the FROST* sound, but with new instruments and textures added, such as The Chapman Railboard which Godfrey has learned to play recently. "The Railboard is a descendant of the iconic Chapman Stick", Godfrey explains, "but it's made of aluminium rather than wood so it has a very glassy, tubular sound which is quite unique. Not only that, but I had a custom tuning set in 5ths and octaves designed in collaboration with Emmett Chapman, he thought I was mad, but it makes sense to me as a keyboard player. Most people play it like a guitar and tap it, but I play it horizontally like a keyboard and attack it with e-bows and mallets and stuff, it's brought a whole new sound to some of the songs like "Numbers" and "Closer To The Sun"". "Falling Satellites" offers an incredible wide sonic palette ranging from the electronic pop of "Lights Out" over 80's arena rock ("Signs"), the grooving yet symphonic "Heartstrings" to the almost 8 minute long "The Raging Against The Dying Of The Light Blues In 7/8". On "Falling Satellites" FROST* have mastered the art of fluently melting the complex and the catchy into a rousing, captivating sound. 180 gram vinyl incl. 2 bonus tracks on the LP and CD!

Cerebral ischemia, or brain ischemia is a kind of stroke where the blood flow is insufficient to the metabolic demand of brain. The lack of oxygen supply will directly lead to the death of brain tissue. There are two major injury regions: the infarct and penumbra. Mostly, since the infarct regions became dead tissues rapidly after stroke, there is a tiny possibility to rescue them in time. But penumbra parts are different. Tissues there will be viable for hours after ischemia. Hence, both theoretically and practically, it is possible to salvage those cells in the penumbra region. Diffusion weighted image (DWI) is a widely used and robust tool to detect ischemia lesions. Unfortunately, DWI can only quickly and accurately detect the location of lesions, however, it cannot distinguish the infarct and penumbra, which is vital to act on further treatment. The main goal of this study is that the functional MRI data can be used to obtain both structural and functional information about lesions in stroke patients.
It was hypothesized that the lack of oxygen supply might be directly caused by lower level rate of blood flow, which can be traced by blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal. Hence, through working on the functional MRI data, it is possible to find the difference between infarct and penumbra.
Through different kinds of algorithms, the functional MRI data can find certain levels of difference between the ischemic lesions and normal tissues.
