Lift is a web framework built on the Scala programming language. Lift takes advantage of many of Scala's features that allow developers to very concisely code secure, scalable, highly interactive web applications. Lift provides a full set of layered abstractions on top of HTTP and HTML from "close to the metal" REST abstractions up to transportation agnostic server push (Comet) support. Scala compiles to JVM byte-code and is compatible with Java libraries and the Java object model. Lift applications are typically deployed as WAR files in J/EE web containers... Lift apps run in Tomcat, Jetty, Glassfish, etc. just like any other J/EE web application. Lift apps can generally be monitored and managed just like any Java web app. Web Applications, Sessions, and State. All web applications are stateful in one way or another. Even a "static" web site is made up of the files that are served... the application's state is defined in those files. The site content may be served out of a database, but the content served does not depend on identity of the user or anything about the HTTP request except the contents of the HTTP request. These contents can include the URI, parameters, and headers. The complete value of the response can be calculated from the request without referencing any resources except the content resources. For the purpose of this discussion, I will refer to these as session-less requests. News sites like the UK Guardian, MSNBC, and others are prototypical examples of this kind of site. Sessions. Some applications are customized on a user-by-user basis. These applications include the likes of Foursquare and others where many HTTP requests make up a "session" in which the results of previous HTTP requests change the behavior of future HTTP requests. Put in concrete terms, a user can log into a site and for some duration, the responses are specific to that user. There are many mechanisms for managing sessions, but the most common and secure method is creating a cryptographically unique token (a session id), and putting that token in the Set-Cookie response header such that the browser will present that Cookie in subsequent HTTP requests for a certain period of time. The server-side state is referenced by the Cookie and the state is made available to the web application during the scope of servicing the request and any mutations the web app makes to session state during the request are kept on the server and are available to the application in subsequent requests. Another available technique for managing state is to serialize application state in the Cookie and deliver it to the browser such that the server is not responsible for managing state across requests. As we've recently discovered, this is a tremendously insecure way to manage application state. Further, for any moderately complex application, the amount of data the needs to be transferred as part of each request and response is huge. Migratory Sessions. Many web application managers allow for server-managed sessions to migrate across a cluster of web application servers. In some environments such as Ruby on Rails, this is a hard requirement because only one request at a time can be served per process, thus for any moderate traffic site, there must be multiple processes serving pages. There are many strategies for migrating state across processes: storing state on disk, in memcached, in a database (relational or NoSQL), or having some proprietary cluster communications protocol. In any of these scenarios sessions can migrate across the grid of processes serving requests for a given web application. Web applications that support migratory state are often referred to as "stateless" because the session state does not reside in the same process as the web application. Session Affinity. Some applications require that all requests related to a particular session are routed to the same process and that process keeps session-related content in local memory. In a cluster, there are multiple mechanisms for achieving session affinity... the two most popular being HAProxy and Nginx. Availability, Scalability, Security, Performance, and User Experience. There are many vectors on which to measure the overall-quality of a web application. Let's take a quick peek at each one. Availability. Availability of an application is the amount of time it gives a meaningful response to a request. Highly available applications generally span multiple pieces of hardware and often multiple data centers. Highly available applications are also typically available during upgrades of part of the system that makes up the application. Highly available applications have very few single points of failure and those single points of failure are usually deployed on very reliable hardware. Scalability. A scalable application can, within certain bounds, respond with similar performance to increased load by adding hardware to process more load. No system is infinitely or linearly scalable. However, many systems have grossly disproportionate load demands such that, for example, you can add a lot of web application front-ends to a Rails application before there's enough load on the back-end RDBMS such that scaling is impaired.
Security. The Internet is a dangerous place and no request that is received from the Internet can be trusted. Applications, frameworks, systems and everything else must be designed to be secure and resist attacks. The most common attacks on web application are listed in the OWASP Top Ten. Performance. Web application performance can be measured on two vectors: response time to a request and system resources required to service the request. These two vectors are inter-dependent. User Experience. The user experience of a web app is an important measure of its quality. User experience can be measured on many different vectors including perceived responsiveness, visual design, interactivity, lack of "hicups", etc. Ultimately, because we're building applications for users, the user experience is very important. Lift's trade-offs. Given the number and complexity related to the quality of a web application, there are a lot of trade-offs, implicit and explicit, to building a framework that allows developers and business people to deliver a great user experience. Let's talk for a minute about what Lift is and what it isn't. Lift is a web framework. It provides a set of abstractions over HTTP and HTML such that developers can write excellent web applications. Lift is persistence agnostic. You can use Lift with relational databases, file systems, NoSQL data stores, mule carts, etc. As long as you can materialize an object into the JVM where Lift is running, Lift can make use of that object. Lift sits on top of the JVM. Lift applications execute in the Java Virtual Machine. The JVM is a very high performance computing system. There are raging debates as to the relative performance of JVM code and native machine code. No matter which benchmarks you look at, the JVM is a very fast performer. Lift apps take advantage of the JVM's performance characteristics. Moderately complex Lift apps that access the database can serve 1,000+ requests per second on quad-core Intel hardware. Even very complex Lift apps that make many back-end calls per request can serve hundreds of requests per second on EC2 large instances. Lift as proxy. Many web applications, typically REST applications, provide a very thin layer on top of a backing data store. The web application serves a few basic functions to broker between the HTTP request and the backing store. These functions include: request and parameter validation, authentication, parameter unpacking, back-end service request, and translation of response data to wire format (typically XML or JSON). Lift can service these kinds of requests within the scope of a session or without any session at all, depending on application design. For more information on Lift's REST features, see Lift RestHelper. When running these kinds of services, Lift apps can be treated without regard for session affinity. Lift as HTML generator. Lift has a powerful and secure templating mechanism. All Lift templates are expressed as valid XML and during the rendering process, Lift keeps the page in XML format. Pages rendered via Lift's templating mechanism are generally resistant to cross site scripting attacks and other attacks that insert malicious content in rendered pages. Lift's templating mechanism is designer friendly yet supports complex and powerful substitution rules. Further, the rendered page can be evaluated and transformed during the final rendering phase to ensure that all script tags are at the bottom of the page, all CSS tags are at the top, etc. Lift's templating mechanism can be used to serve sessionless requests or serve requests within the context of a session. Further, pages can be marked as not requiring a session, yet will make session state available if the request was made in the context of a container session. Lift page rendering can even be done in parallel such that if there are long off-process components on the page (e.g., advertising servers), those components can be Sessionless Lift, forms and Ajax Lift applications can process HTML forms and process Ajax requests even if there's no session associated with the request. Such forms and Ajax requests have to have stable field names and stable URLs, but this is the same requirement as most web frameworks including Struts, Rails, and Django impose on their applications. In such a mode, Lift apps have the similar characteristics to web apps written on tops of Struts, Play, JSF and other popular Java web frameworks. Lift as Secure, Interactive App Platform Lift features require session affinity: GUID to function mapping, type-safe SessionVars and Comet. Applications that take advantage of these features need to have requests associated with the JVM that stores the session. I'll discuss the reason for this limitation, the down-side to the limitation, the downside to migratory session, and the benefits of these features. Application servers that support migratory sessions (sessions that are available to application servers running in multiple address spaces/processes) require a mechanism for transferring the state information between processes. This is typically (with the exception of Terracotta) done by serializing the stored data. Serialization is the process of converting rich data structures into a stream of bytes. Some of Scala's constructs are hard or impossible to serialize. For example, local variables that are mutated within a closure are promoted from stack variables to heap variables. When those variables are serialized at different times, the application winds up with two references even though the references are logically the same. Lift makes use of many of these constructs (I'll explain why next) and Lift's use of these constructs makes session serialization and migration impossible. It also means that Lift's type-safe SessionVars are not guaranteed to be serialized. One of the key Lift constructs is to map a cryptographically unique identifier in the browser to a function on the server. Lift uses Scala functions which close over scope, including all of the variables referenced by the function. This means that it's not necessary to expose primary keys to the client when editing a record in the database because the primary key of the record or the record itself is known to the function on the server. This guards against OWASP Vulnerability A4, Insecure Object References as well as Replay Attacks. From the developer's standpoint, writing Lift applications is like writing a VisualBasic application... the developer associates the user action with a function. Lift supplies the plumbing to bridge between the two. Lift's GUID to function mapping extends to Lift's Ajax support. Associating a button, checkbox, or other HTML element with an Ajax call is literally a single line: SHtml.ajaxButton(<b>PressMe</b>, () => Alert("You pressed a button at "+Helpers.currentTimeFormatted) Lift's Ajax support is simple, maintainable, and secure. There's no need to build and maintain routing. Lift has the most advanced server-push/Comet support of any web framework or any other system currently available. Lift's comet support relies on session affinity. Lift's comet support associates an Actor with a section of screen real estate. A single browser window may have many pieces of screen real estate associated with many of Lift's CometActors. When state changes in the Actor, the state change is pushed to the browser. Lift takes care of multiplexing a single HTTP connection to handle all the comet items on a given page, the versioning of the change deltas (if the HTTP connection is dropped while 3 changes become available, all 3 of those changes are pushed when the next HTTP request is made.) Further, Lift's comet support will work the same way once web sockets are available to the client and server... there will be no application code changes necessary for web sockets support. Lift's comet support requires that the connect is made from the browser back to the same JVM in which the CometActors are resident... the same JVM where the session is located.
The downside to Lift's session affinity requirement mainly falls on the operations team. They must use a session aware load balancer or other mechanism to route incoming requests to the server that the session is associated with. This is easily accomplished with HAProxy and Nginx. Further, if the server running a given session goes down, the information associated with that session is lost (note that any information distributed off-session [into a database, into a cluster of Akka actors, etc.] is preserved.) But, Lift has extended session facilities that support re-creation of session information in the event of session lost. Lift also has heart-beat functionality so that sessions are kept alive as long as a browser page is open to the application, so user inactivity will not result in session timeouts.
Compared to the operational cost of a session aware load balancer, there are many costs associated with migratory sessions. First, there must be a persistence mechanism for those sessions. Memcached is an unreliable mechanism as memcached instances have no more stability than the JVM which hosts the application and being a cache, some sessions may get expired. Putting session data in backing store such as MySQL or Cassandra increases the latency of requests. Further, the costs of serializing state, transmitting the state across the network, storing it, retrieving it, transmitting it across the network, and deserializing it all costs a lot of cycles and bandwidth. When your Lift application scales beyond a single server, beyond 100 requests per second, the costs of migrating state on every request becomes a significant operational issue.
Session serialization can cause session information loss in the case of multiple requests being executed in multiple processes. It's common to have multiple tabs/windows open to the same application. If session data is serialized as a blob and two different requests from the same server are being executed at the same time, the last request to write session data into the store will over-write the prior session data. This is a concurrency problem and can lead to hard to debug issues in production because reproducing this kind of problem is non-trivial and this kind of problem is not expected by developers.
The third issue with migratory sessions and session serialization is that the inability to store complex information in the session (e.g., a function that closes over scope) means that the developer has to write imperative code to serialize session state to implement complex user interactions like multi-screen wizards (which is a 400 line implementation in Lift). These complex, hand written serializations are error prone, can introduce security problems and are non-trivial to maintain.
The operational costs of supporting session affinity are not materially different from the operational costs of providing backing store for migratory sessions. On the other hand, there are many significant downsides to migratory sessions. Let's explore the advantages of Lift's design.
Lift's use of GUIDs associated with functions on the server: Increase the security of the application by guarding against cross site request forgeries, replay attacks, and insecure object references Decrease application development and maintenance time and costs Increase application interactivity, thus a much better user experience Increase in application richness because of simpler Ajax, multi-page Wizards, and Comet Improved application performance because fewer cycles are spent serializing and transmitting session information No difference in scalability... just add more servers to the front end to scale the front end of your application The positive attributes of Lift's design decisions are evident at Foursquare which handles thousands of requests per second all served by Lift. There are very few sites that have more traffic than Foursquare. They have scaled their web front end successfully and securely with Lift. Other high volume sites including Novell are successfully scaling with Lift. If you are scaling your site, there are also commercial Lift Cloud manager tools that can help manage clusters of Lift's session requirements. Conclusion Lift provides a lot of choices for developing and deploying complex web applications. Lift can operate in a web container like any other Java web framework. If you choose to use certain Lift features and you are deploying across multiple servers, you need to have a session aware load balancer. Even when using Lift's session-affinity dependent features, Lift applications have higher performance, identical availability, identical scalability, better security, and better user experience than applications written with web frameworks such as Ruby on Rails, Struts, and GWT.

Goa Tenancy Act to be amended with removal of 'Sunset clause'

The "Sunset Clause" in Goa tenancy act is coming to an end with the introduction an amendment to the legislation during the monsoon session of the state legislative assembly which is starting on 27th July 2015. "The meaning of Sunset Clause is measure within a statute, regulation or other law that provides that the law should cease to have effective after the specified date, unless further legislative action is taken to extend the law". According to the news published by the local daily the state government has initiated the process of withdrawing the highly controversial 'Sunset Clause' from the Goa Agriculture Tenancy Act 2014 by way of introducing an amendment in the assembly.
The sunset clause (section 60C) of the Act gives tenant three years from September 25, 2014 to file an application declaring their tenancy rights under section 7 of an old Act. This controversial Act was cleared by the House last year during the budget session which attracted very strong criticism from the opposition parties and tenants associations. According to Deputy CM Francis D'souza the decision of abolishing the same has been taken due to increase in protest from the people. "The removal of the clause from the tenancy act will not change the basic structure of the legislation," said D'souza adding that government will expedite the pending tenancy cases and clear them within three years period. D'souza also blamed the mamlatdar for the delay in clearing the tenancy cases over the years.
"However, one should also know that these delays are the result of the civil disputes related to the cases," Said D'souza pointing out that there are several cases pending of civil disputes between the parties which arisen out of the death of original tenants which is carried forward by their heirs. According to the available sources there are more than 5000 tenancy cases which are pending before the Mamlatdars have been transferred to the courts of senior civil judge to ensure the speedy disposal. There is also uncertainty in regards to number of cases due to the disputes in the name of landlord and tenant on form I XIV pertaining to the land. This information provided by one of the Mamlatdar on the condition of privacy, he said that tenants are reluctant to enter into the legal hassles, "In fact, they are reluctant to officially become the tenants as that would mean they are tenants for lifetime, and then would have to follow a number of norms," he said "once a person is declared a tenant, the surrender of his tenancy becomes difficult", he added.
According to the Chief Minister the 'sunset clause' was aggressively supported by politically motivated leaders and land sharks that flourishes on the disputes between landlords and tenants and grabs the land. He had also maintained that the particular clause was not introduced into the legislation for closing of the judicial proceedings pertaining to the tenancy cases.
There is no doubt that this subject is disputable. According to you what is the reason behind amending the tenancy Act Now? Who is really behind all these? Please do leave your comments and suggestions on this issue bellow the article.

New York - Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today directed the State Police Hate Crimes Unit to assist in the investigation into two swastikas and an anti-Semitic slur that were found Wednesday spray-painted on the walls of the office of a Jewish professor and Holocaust scholar at Columbia Teacher's College.
New Yorkers who have experienced bias or discrimination are encouraged to call the toll-free hotline at (888) 392-3644 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday - Friday or text "HATE" to 81336. Anyone who believes they have been a victim of a crime or are in immediate danger should always dial 911. The state offers a $5,000 reward to information leading to the arrest and conviction of a hate crime.
Will they find someone or something?
And will they prosecute (or simply allow the anti-Semitic University groups to continue?
To get into this building a special key is required so it is likely a University person(s) but maybe that is just a false assumption.

La gare de Tavigny est une ancienne gare ferroviaire belge de la ligne 163, de Libramont à Gouvy située à Buret, village proche de Tavigny, section de la commune de Houffalize, dans la province de Luxembourg en Région wallonne.

Mise en service en 1884 par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge, elle ferme 100 ans après.

Situation ferroviaire
Établie à  d'altitude, la gare de Tavigny était située au point kilométrique (PK) 44,70 de la ligne 163, de Libramont à Saint-Vith entre les gares de Bourcy et Limerlé, sur une section de ligne fermée en 1986.

Histoire
La réalisation d'un chemin de fer traversant la Belgique d'ouest en est et poursuivant au-delà de Bastogne était déjà à l'étude dans les années 1860, comme constituante du réseau "Forcade" comprenant une ligne reliant d'une part Bastogne et Vielsalm à Saint-Vith (alors en Allemagne) et poursuivant de l'autre vers la frontière française près de Bouillon et Sedan.

À la mort d'Eugène Forcade, l'homme d'affaires Simon Philippart rachète la concession et cherche à l'utiliser pour obtenir l'autorisation de réaliser un autre chemin de fer, de direction nord-sud, reliant les mines de fer du Grand-duché de Luxembourg aux industries lourdes de la région de Charleroi. Cette combinaison conduira en 1873 au rachat de la Grande compagnie du Luxembourg, exploitant des lignes Bruxelles - Arlon et Libramont - Bastogne, ainsi qu'à la concession aux sociétés de Philippart d'un ensemble de lignes comprenant une liaison Bastogne - Gouvy ; les lignes concédées étant rachetées par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge à leur livraison. La faillite de Phillipart survient en 1878, alors que la construction de la ligne de Gouvy n'avait pas encore commencé, et c'est finalement en 1884 que la section de ligne passant par Tavigny entre en fonction.

La station de Tavigny est mise en service le 20 février par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge. La ligne est complétée jusque Gouvy le . Le bâtiment de gare plan type 1873 dont elle dispose comprend un magasin pour les colis et petites marchandises en lieu et place d'une halle aux marchandises distincte.

En 1885, Tavigny a le statut de station et Bourcy est une halte gérée depuis Tavigny. La situation est inversée en 1889, Tavigny devient une halte administrée depuis la gare de Bourcy, tout comme la halte de Limerlé.

Les Chemins de fer de l'État belge, future SNCB, songent au début du  à allonger des voies de garage de la ligne, encore à simple voie, pour y faire circuler des trains de marchandises de fort tonnage. La ligne sera mise à deux voies par les Allemands vers 1915 mais la seconde voie sera déposée en 1936.

La voie de croisement, visible sur une série de clichés d'époque, disparaît à son tour et le service des marchandises, mentionné en 1926, est supprimé avant la fermeture aux voyageurs de la halte de Tavigny lors de l'entrée en vigueur du plan IC-IR le .

En 1986, la SNCB ferme aux marchandises la section de Bourcy à Gouvy. La section de Bastogne à Bourcy restera utilisée jusqu'en 1991. Les rails sont démantelés en 1996 entre Bastogne et Gouvy.

Patrimoine ferroviaire

Le bâtiment des recettes sert d'habitation particulière.

Tout comme les gares de Bourcy (conservé) et Limerlé (démoli), il appartient au plan type 1873 des Chemins de fer de l'État belge, avec une aile de quatre travées, disposée à droite à Tavigny et Bourcy, avec un écart plus important entre les deux travées médianes. Alors que les bâtiments de cette famille sont normalement construits en brique, fréquemment recouverte d'enduit, ces trois gares ont été réalisés en blocs de grandes dimensions. Le trafic escompté étant trop maigre, il n'y avait pas de halle aux marchandises ; ce service étant abrité dans une partie de l'aile principale.

Après sa réaffectation, les nouveaux occupants de la gare ont remplacé l'aile de service à toit plat par une aile de deux travées imitant l'aile de droite, reproduisant fidèlement les encadrement de baies au larmier caractéristique. L'aile principale possède, côté rue, une porte de plus grandes dimensions. Il pourrait s'agir soit d'une transformation réalisée après sa transformation en habitation, soit du temps de son utilisation comme gare.

A Quiet Art Conservation Association Gets a Little Less Quiet
For nearly 70 years, the Cleveland-based Intermuseum Conservation Association has quietly helped to preserve and maintain art throughout the Midwest. Its next restoration project? Its own building.
Associations serve a wide variety of roles for their local communities, their industries, or the world at large.
Sometimes, those roles represent yeoman's work, doing things that are important to a culture's preservation or broader growth but that the average person does not think about.
The Intermuseum Conservation Association, a Cleveland-based art preservation group, is very much in that role. Founded in 1952, ICA has played a key role in supporting artistic preservation in the Midwest and inspired other regional organizations supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.
Over the years, the organization has helped to preserve objects as important as a mural inside the lounge car of a Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad train and as novel as the "meat dress" worn by Lady Gaga to the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. (And it's not the only piece of music history ICA has worked on, either: The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is nearby, and the association frequently helps preserve rock memorabilia as a result.)
In a recent interview with Cleveland Magazine, ICA Executive Director Julie Reilly noted that the broader goal of the association is to help preserve whatever comes in, as needed and demanded.
"There is never a point when conservation is done," Reilly told the magazine. "We're always trying to fight the effects of time on art, and that's a never-ending battle."
ICA works in a particularly notable place in Cleveland, in a facility near downtown on Detroit Avenue. The association has been there for more than 15 years, but it has generally kept a low profile. That's changing, as ICA is working on a transformation that will open up the building more readily to the public, in part by teaming with a contractor to make the storefront more prominent and by adding conservation classes to the association's repertoire.
One way it plans to do so is by working with West Side High School, which is being built nearby. ICA will work with the school on projects related to STEM and STEAM, with the goal of encouraging students to look at the conservation field. Reilly noted that conservation has the ability to mix art and science in diverse ways.
"We bifurcate people into the arts and sciences, but the same mind is capable of doing both," Reilly told the magazine. "You can't fully understand one without understanding the other. This is at the core of what we do behind these doors every single day."

HomeBase MetalsCopperZambia's mining assets won't be taken by bondholders – mines minister
Nov. 19, 2020 at 8:19 am
BY: REUTERS
LUSAKA – Zambia doesn't expect its mining assets to be taken away by bondholders and has no plans to sell its shares in mining companies despite defaulting on part of its debt last week, Mines Minister Richard Musukwa said on Thursday.
Zambia hopes to "strike a win-win situation" with bondholders, Musukwa said after Africa's no.2 copper producer failed to pay the $42.5-million coupon on its Eurobond debt last Friday.
Zambia's mining assets have been in the spotlight as the country's financial situation deteriorated this year and the pandemic prompted mining giant Glencore to shutter its Mopani Copper Mines operation, angering the government.
Musukwa said negotiations with Glencore on increasing the government's stake in Mopani – a result of the disagreement over temporarily shutting the mine – are nearing a conclusion.
Reuters reported in August that Glencore had put its entire 73.1% stake in Mopani on the table in the talks with Zambia, whose mining investment arm ZCCM-IH holds 10% currently.
Zambia produced 646 111 tonnes of copper between January and September 2020, up from 590 321 tonnes in the same period last year, Musukwa said, attributing the 9.45% rise to increased mine output.
Copper production for 2020 is expected to be 820 000 tonnes, Musukwa said.

Q: How do memory addresses know how long an an array is? I guess I can tag C++, Assembly and C as memory management works similarly in all languages.
I've just hit the stage in C where I'm learning pointers. I understand that if you store a string (or in C, better known as a char array) it's actually just an address in memory of the first element of that array.
How does this first element of the array know how much it has to count for the whole array, my own guess is it stops at the first occurrence of \0 but am I right? I've ben told \0 is a sign that the array has finished that you've hit the last element (or technically, 1 after the last element).
I guess I posted this for validation of my maybe-right-answer. Can anyone explain it in better detail?

A: It doesn't.
Use a too-large value as an index and you read from/write to memory outside of the array.
Do it in C++ and the optimizer may cache data and not refresh it and get insane program states (UB).
Now, copy an array in a struct via =?  Size is then known at compile time, similarly no runtime markers used.

A: In those low-level languages, you can access an array even past what is allocated. You have to manually keep track of how long the array is. However, there are different data types, like linked lists, that can be built to keep track of the beginning and end of the data. For example, in Python, there are "lists" instead of "arrays", and the size of the list can be found out using the "len" built-in function.

A: To answer your question, memory addresses do not "know" how long an array is. It all depends on your computer architecture and is discovered through CPU instructions. When you access the first element of the array, an instruction is decoded by your CPU and will proceed to grab the first byte of data in the given memory address. This first byte of data should contain an ascii value that pertains to a specific char element and will display your desired character. If you iterate through the string and implemented it correctly, there typically is a null character to which you can end your iteration. However, do note that the null character is not guaranteed to be there.

A:
I understand that if you store a string (or in C, better known as a
  char array) it's actually just an address in memory of the first
  element of that array.

A [narrow] string literal has type char[C] where C == 1+strlen(s) (the 1 is for the '\0' at the end, which the strlen function excludes from its return value).
If you store a string literal in a variable of type char*, then it's indeed as you say: just an address in memory of the first element of that array.  That is how "array decay" works.
If, however, you store a string literal in a variable of type char[N], then how things work depends on N and 1+strlen(S) (where S would be a string literal).  If N < 1+strlen(S), then only the first N chars are stored in the char array, and the array is not terminated by '\0'.  If N >= 1+strlen(S), then all chars of S are stored in the char array, and any elements in excess of 1+strlen(S) are zero-initialized per usual for arrays.

How does this first element of the array know how much it has to count
  for the whole array, my own guess is it stops at the first occurrence
  of \0 but am I right? I've ben told \0 is a sign that the array
  has finished that you've hit the last element (or technically, 1 after
  the last element).

The first element doesn't store the count of the array unless you make it that way.  In the case of storing a string literal or any other char array in an object of type char*, you're discarding the size info, unless you stored the size in the first element manually (strings in the Pascal programming language do this).  Whether or not you stored the size, you're still responsible for tracking the size info.  If you initialize an object of type char[N] with a string literal, you keep the size info of the array, and the compiler tracks all N chars for the lifetime of the array.

Include your elderly family member in the decision-making process, to the extent that he or she is able to openly participate. Address areas of concern and care options with him or her. If you have the services of a professional geriatric care manager, have them present during the discussion. It can make a big difference to have a neutral third party professional involved in these types of discussions.
Be sensitive to the senior's preferences and feelings. Acknowledge his or her desires, even if they are different from your own. It is normal for even the closest families to experience increased levels of emotion and strain in this situation. Fear and anger may cause confusion or create communication barriers. It is not unusual for seniors in need of care to initially resist help. Fear of losing independence, a mistrust of "strangers," concerns about money, and the resistance to change in general - all play a role in making decisions about care.
Remember the following and you will have better success in communicating with your senior (and others in your family).
Listen for the meaning behind your elderly loved-one's words. By acknowledging their fears, concerns, or other emotions, you will provide a measure of comfort. Find common ground and express agreement whenever possible. If you can both agree on the problem, you will stand a better chance of coming up with solutions that are acceptable to everyone.
Know your limitations as a caregiver. A family member, parent, or significant other may want you to be the only caregiver. However, he or she must understand that this is not always possible, and that you may need to enlist the services of others from outside the home. Setting limits may be difficult at first, but once you do, you may find that family members worry less, knowing that you are taking care of yourself. Also, by effectively communicating your limits, you will take much of the guesswork out of planning and problem solving.
Ask for help from others. If your family member is resistant to help or has an illness such as Alzheimer's disease that affects his or her judgment or ability to make good decisions, consider the services of a trusted third party such as a geriatric care manager to help in reviewing the options and mediating the situation.

2020 BMW M2 CS
On this page you can find 88 high resolution pictures of the "2020 BMW M2 CS" for an overall amount of 755.67 MB.

The arrival of the new BMW M2 CS heralds BMW M GmbH's first ever foray into the premium compact segment with its prestigious and overtly sporty portfolio of limitedrun special-edition models. The exclusive BMW M2 CS is positioned one rung up the performance ladder from the BMW M2 Competition and will build on the success already achieved by the BMW M3 CS and BMW M4 CS models. This Immensely capable car also serves as a basis for the BMW M2 CS Racing model, BMW M Motorsport's new entry point to amateur racing and the new Clubsport segment from the 2020 season.
The BMW M2 CS has an even sharper look about it than the BMW M2 Competition and blends outstanding track performance with unrestricted everyday usability to create a four-seater sports car of exceptional appeal. The BMW M2 CS sets new, class-leading standards for acceleration, handling dynamics, precision and agility, making it the perfect choice for fans of high-calibre high-performance cars. The new gateway into the world of BMW M GmbH products will also stir the emotions of a younger target audience. Prices for the BMW M2 CS start at €95,000.
"The joint development of the BMW M2 CS and BMW M2 CS Racing underscores the close links between BMW Motorsport and BMW M GmbH," explains Markus Flasch, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW M GmbH. "Our skillsets converge at the midway point between high-performance cars for the road and all-out racing machines - i.e. in the expanding Clubsport segment. We're covering this niche with the Clubsport variant of the BMW M2 CS Racing and will be working in a similar direction with future special-edition models from BMW M."
BMW Group Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt adds: "The BMW Motorsport engineers have worked closely with their colleagues at BMW M GmbH in taking the ideal basis provided by the BMW M2 CS and adopting much of the knowledge gained in the development of the BMW M4 GT4. As a result, they have raised the bar in the entry-level class of race competition to a new high with the M4 GT4's smaller brother, the BMW M2 CS Racing. I have no doubt we'll be able to build on the success achieved so far by BMW M customer racing cars with this new model."
BMW M GmbH has used an array of carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components to give the limited-run special-edition BMW M2 CS an extremely sporty appearance that vividly conveys its exceptional agility and dynamism before a wheel has turned. The output of the twin-turbocharged straight-six engine has increased to 331 kW (450 hp) - up 29 kW (40 hp) on the BMW M2 Competition - while the Adaptive M suspension hitherto reserved for the M4 models and the Michelin Cup tyres transfer this immense power to track and road alike to optimum effect. Commensurate levels of stopping power are provided by the standard M Sport brakes with red-painted callipers or optional M Carbon ceramic brakes.
The BMW M2 CS delivers instant visual confirmation of its sporting credentials, its stylistic modifications clearly distinguishing it from the BMW M2 Competition. The design team at BMW M GmbH focused in particular on the use of carbon fibre, a material that stirs the emotions and creates a strong link to racing cars through the intelligent lightweight design and exceptional body strength it promotes.
New bonnet and roof made from carbon fibre
A new CFRP bonnet, created specially for the BMW M2 CS, complements the BMW M2 premiere of a roof also made entirely from carbon fibre. The bonnet of the BMW M2 Competition has been modified to include an eye-catching central air vent in High-gloss Black towards its leading edge. The new design increases the car's downforce over the front wheels and also aids engine cooling. The bonnet's weight, meanwhile, has been halved. The new roof, with its sandwich design, makes the body more rigid and appears to have been cut from the same mould as the rest of the car; no trim strips are needed, meaning no visible joins either. This has the additional effect of enhancing acoustics, both inside and outside the car. And dispensing with the customary roof bows and insulation also saves weight. Together with the lighter bonnet, this serves to lower the vehicle's centre of gravity, resulting in even better driving dynamics.
Front splitter, Gurney and rear diffuser optimise aerodynamics
The new front splitter located south of the front apron, the Gurney spoiler lip on the boot lid and the rear diffuser are all made from exposed carbon fibre, giving them a striking appearance. Inspired by aerodynamic components used in racing cars, this trio of add-ons gives the M2 CS greater downforce and channels the air flowing around and underneath the body to optimise aerodynamics. The carbon-fibre caps of the streamlined M twin-stalk exterior mirrors round off the CFRP elements in the M2 CS. Bringing the car's design to a stunning conclusion is the redesigned dual-branch exhaust system with its quartet of stainless-steel tailpipes, M logo and M2 CS badge. The Misano Blue metallic paint finish is exclusive to the new BMW M2 CS.
Driving dynamics
The new BMW M2 CS extends a family lineage established by the BMW M3 CS and BMW M4 CS. It has been engineered for the express purpose of delivering scintillating track performance, but without falling short of the mark in everyday road use. The BMW M2 Competition's top-class agility, driving feel, handling stability, steering precision and controllability at the limit have been elevated another notch to make the BMW M2 CS a sports car of indisputable authenticity.
Adaptive M suspension and M Sport brakes fitted as standard
Underpinning the sensational driving dynamics of the BMW M2 CS are the standard-fitted Adaptive M suspension and M Sport brakes designed with the help of the motor-racing know-how. Formerly the preserve of the M4 models, Adaptive M suspension gives drivers the choice of Comfort, Sport and Sport+ modes, each of which alters the damper settings. Comfort mode offers excellent ride comfort in everyday urban driving, Sport lends itself to powering along country roads, and drivers taking their BMW M2 CS out on a track will want to select Sport+; the firmest chassis setup minimises body movement and maximises dynamic performance. The Electric Power Steering with M-specific characteristics - which controls power assistance electronically according to the car's speed and the Drivelogic settings selected - allows the driver to adapt the level of power assistance to suit their personal preferences and is also adjusted in line with the three suspension modes. The M Sport brakes also benefit from the motor racing experience of BMW M GmbH. Compared with the M compound brakes featured on the BMW M2 Competition, the brake discs are larger (front: diameter 400 mm, rear: diameter 380 mm) and the brake callipers - painted in a bold red colour - have also been upgraded (front: six-piston fixed callipers, rear: four-piston fixed callipers). This highly capable system delivers exceptional braking performance with outstanding stopping power in all conditions, plus excellent fade resistance and thermal stability. The BMW M2 CS is also available with the option of M Carbon ceramic brakes with six-piston callipers at the front and four-piston units at the rear. These are lighter, can withstand the sorts of extreme loads exerted during track use and are longer lasting too.
Stiff front-end structure enhances steering precision
The CFRP high-precision strut brace employed in the M2 CS has already seen action in the BMW M2 Competition. This single-piece carbon-fibre component weighs a mere 1.5 kg and combines with the tower-to-bulkhead strut to give the car's front end a high level of stiffness. This, in turn, has a positive impact on turn-in response and steering precision. The front and rear axles have a lightweight aluminium construction and transfer forces laterally by means of ball joints with zero play for high-precision wheel location. Specially designed elastomeric bearings in the torque arms result in direct longitudinal transmission of the chassis forces, which also ensures the desired level of ride comfort. All of the five-link rear axle's control arms and wheel carriers are made from forged aluminium. The rear-axle subframe, with its lightweight steel construction, also has a rigid bolted connection to the body without any flexible rubber elements. Typically used in racing cars, this type of mounting further improves wheel location and directional stability.
Active M Differential and specially tuned DSC
The electronics of the DSC (Dynamic Stability Control) system govern the car's handling with fingertip sensitivity, generate excellent grip when driving in wet or slippery conditions and prevent an abrupt breakaway of traction middrift. The DSC is aided in its task by the Active M Differential, an electronically controlled multi-plate locking mechanism that enhances traction and handling stability with unbeatable precision and speed. The locking effect can be varied between 0 and 100 per cent, depending on the driving situation, and factors in steering angle, accelerator pedal position, brake pressure, engine torque, wheel speeds and yaw rate. By analysing the situation in this way, the control unit can detect an imminent loss of traction on one side and calculate the ideal degree of lock, which is then applied using an electric motor. It takes just 150 milliseconds to generate maximum locking torque of 2,500 Newton metres (1,843 lb-ft). This serves to prevent wheel spin even in extreme conditions on slippery surfaces or when one rear wheel has far less grip than the other.
The Active M Differential can even intervene proactively in certain situations. When pulling away on slippery road surfaces, for example, a certain percentage of lock is engaged before a wheel can start to spin, ensuring that both wheels build up identical amounts of slip at the same time. And in high-speed corners, the levels of lateral acceleration and drive torque dictate the degree of the lock required to stop an unloaded inside wheel from turning too fast. The differential's permanent and continuously variable control also results in sharper agility, elimination of understeer at corner entry and superior directional stability during braking and load changes.
M Dynamic Mode (MDM) is a DSC sub-function that can be selected as required to allow a greater degree of wheel slip. This can be beneficial in certain situations, such as high-speed track driving. It pushes back the intervention points for the DSC system's various stabilising measures, giving drivers extra leeway to explore the car's dynamic limits. Increasing wheel slip enhances traction, which then helps to propel the car down the road with extra assurance. More significant oversteer and understeer are possible, as are moderate, controlled drifts. However, drivers can still depend on the array of DSC driving safety aids to intervene in critical situations.
19-inch wheels with Cup tyres
The BMW M2 CS rides on 19-inch Y-spoke forged wheels in a High-gloss Black finish. Here again, the M GmbH engineers have applied the principles of systematic lightweight design. As a result, the 9J x 19 wheels at the front weigh just 9 kilograms, while the 10J x 19 items at the rear add less than 10 kilograms. This keeps unsprung masses low and is another factor in the extraordinarily dynamic potency of the M2 CS. The wheels can also be specified in an optional matt gold shade. The front wheels are shod with 245/35 ZR 19 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres that have been specially matched to the M2 CS and offer the ultimate in lateral control, directional stability, steering feel and steering precision, while the 265/35 ZR 19 tyres at the rear optimise traction, lateral control and directional stability. Customers intending to use their M2 CS mainly for everyday driving can select the no-cost option of Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, which generate more grip on wet roads than the Cup items.
The twin-turbocharged six-cylinder in-line engine in the BMW M2 CS is derived from the unit fitted in the BMW M4 Competition Coupe and offers the best of both worlds. On the one hand, it has an extraordinary appetite for revs for a turbocharged engine, plus linear power build-up over a wide rpm band and a distinctive soundtrack. And M TwinPower Turbo technology keeps peak torque on tap across a wide engine speed range. But the engine will also put a smile on the driver's face with its exemplary efficiency.
The straight-six generates maximum output of 331 kW (450 hp) at 6,250 rpm, 29 kW (40 hp) more than the BMW M2 Competition. Peak torque of 550 Newton metres (405 lb-ft) is on tap between 2,350 and 5,500 rpm. This enables the BMW M2 CS to race to 100 km/h (62 mph) from rest in just 4.0 seconds when equipped with the optional seven-speed M doubleclutch transmission (M DCT). The same sprint takes 4.2 seconds with the six-speed manual gearbox. The top speed of the special-edition model, which comes complete with the M Driver's Package, is an electronically governed 280 km/h (174 mph). Manual models achieve combined fuel consumption figures of 10.4 - 10.2 l/100 km [27.2 - 27.7 mpg imp) and combined CO2 emissions of 238 - 233 g/km. Cars fitted with the M DCT transmission burn just 9.6 - 9.4 l/100 km [29.4 - 30.1 mpg imp) on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 219 - 214 g/km. The petrol particulate filter fitted in the BMW M2 CS in the relevant EU countries further reduces particulate emissions.
Instantaneous response thanks to M TwinPower Turbo technology
The package of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology comprises two fastresponse mono-scroll turbochargers, High Precision Injection direct petrol injection, VALVETRONIC variable valve timing and Double-VANOS fully variable camshaft timing. The variable valve and camshaft timing combine to enable continuous adjustment of intake valve lift as required. This allows the engine to build up its power to optimum effect while also responding at lightning speed to the drivers' inputs. At the same time, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions are reduced. The six-cylinder engine's crankcase is remarkably rigid thanks to its closed-deck construction, paving the way for higher cylinder pressures and improved power output. Cylinder walls with a wire-arc sprayed coating instead of liners help to keep the weight of the engine down.
Racing car experience to the fore
The level of performance offered by cars such as the BMW M2 CS places specific demands on engine oil supply during track use. This is an area where BMW M GmbH's many years of motor racing experience come into play. The oil sump, for instance, has an additional cover to restrict the lubricant's movement under the high lateral forces exerted during sharp changes in direction. There is also an extra oil scavenge pump and a sophisticated oil return system near the turbocharger to keep the oil circuit functioning smoothly under extreme acceleration and braking. This ensures a reliable supply of oil for every engine component under all circumstances - from everyday road use through to maximum attack on the track.
The BMW M2 CS makes allowance for the greater quantities of cooling air required by the engine with measures such a CFRP bonnet featuring design modifications over the BMW M2 Competition's. Incorporating an air vent, for example, helps to dissipate hot air more effectively. The BMW M2 CS has retained its sibling's large kidney grille and large air intakes in the front apron to optimise the flow of air through the car's front end. The track-tested cooling system originates from the BMW M4 with Competition Package and comprises a central radiator plus two radiators at the sides, along with an additional engine oil cooler. Models specified with the optional seven-speed M DCT also benefit from a separate transmission oil cooler. This sophisticated system ensures that optimum operating temperatures are maintained at all times, not only in everyday road use and on short urban journeys, but also during outings on the track.
Dual-branch exhaust system with two electrically controlled flaps
Offering even greater aesthetic and aural appeal than in the BMW M2 Competition, the exhaust system has a dual-branch design and concludes in a familiar quartet of tailpipes, each bearing the M logo. Two electrically controlled flaps ensure the BMW M2 CS emits a sound worthy of a BMW M model. The M Engine Dynamics Control function with direct selection buttons in the centre console allows drivers to vary the engine note further through their driving mode selection.
Choice of two transmissions
The BMW M2 CS is the first CS model from BMW to be fitted as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox, thereby catering to the often-expressed penchant of the M2's target clientele for a good stickshift. Standout characteristics include its compact construction and low weight, while carbon friction linings for smoother shifting also feature. Shift comfort is further improved by the gearbox's engagement speed control, which automatically blips the throttle when changing down and lowers the engine revs when changing up. This also gives the car extra stability when pushed hard on the track. Engagement speed control is deactivated when DSC is switched off.
Customers can also specify the optional seven-speed M double-clutch transmission (M DCT) with Drivelogic. DCT consists of two sub-transmissions (each with its own clutch), allowing both extremely fast gear changes without any interruption in power flow and silky smooth shifting, depending on the selected setting. The gear changes can be performed either automatically or manually by the driver using the gearshift lever on the centre console or the shift paddles on the M leather steering wheel. In both automatic and manual modes, the Drivelogic function gives the driver the choice of three preconfigured settings: EFFICIENT, SPORT and SPORT+. In automatic mode these alter shift timing, shift speed and the automatic blip of the throttle on downshifts.
The manual mode settings only affect the speed of gear shifts, with the timing determined by the driver. The system is able to predict the driver's next gear selection based on rev speed, accelerator pedal position, acceleration and the chosen setting, allowing it to engage the next gear before the shift paddle has even been operated. At this point, one clutch is simply disengaged and the other engaged to complete the gear change with lightning speed.
Interior appointments
The cabin of the BMW M2 CS blends an exclusive, authentic aesthetic with the sporty looks and feel of fine Alcantara and innovative lightweight design. Its centre console is made entirely of lightweight carbon fibre, producing a weight saving of more than 50 per cent over the standard car's. CFRP has also been used for the door pulls and door panel trim.
On their way into the BMW M2 CS, drivers are welcomed by a door sill plate with M2 CS badging before settling into the same lightweight M Sport seat fitted in the BMW M4 CS - an ergonomic and stylistic masterpiece of its kind. The seat's bucket-style design takes its inspiration directly from motor racing and guarantees optimum lateral support even when the driver is pushing the limits on the race track. The seat backrests are upholstered in Merino leather and Alcantara, their red contrast stitching also gracing the armrests, the centre console and the door and side panel trim. The front seats' integral head restraints feature BMW M stripes, while the backrests sport CS badging. CSspecific red contrast stitching appears again on the Merino leather rear seats.
M Sport steering wheel with Alcantara covering and centre marker
The optional M Sport steering wheel with exclusive Alcantara covering injects another shot of authentic racing flair into the cabin. It has a red centre marker to make racing drivers feel at home, and offers unbeatable grip in all driving situations. The distinctive M2 CS badging in the instrument cluster can be clearly seen through the M Sport steering wheel. Fine Alcantara also adorns the centre-console armrest and an interior trim strip on the instrument panel. The trim strip's large red CS logo clearly identifies this as the new rangetopping car in the BMW M2 line-up - one that cuts a dashing figure both on the track and in day-to-day road driving.

First Sentence: I had been mistaken for him so many times that when he died it was as if part of myself had died too.
I've never really thought of Neil Jordan as a writer before as he's usually associated with his films, some of which I've enjoyed a lot more than others. This book though surprised me as I found it incredibly engaging and quite moving in places. It is a local book, so I suppose knowledge of Dublin does help heighten your enjoyment. In a way the book might suffer from this as there is literally hardly a page that goes by without some reference or other to a place or landmark in Dublin. It is clear that this is a book about the city that the author grew up in more than anything else. The story itself is concerned with Frank Thunder, a boy from the north-side who is constantly being mistaken for Gerry, a south-side boy who looks uncannily like him. This works both ways and as the cases of mistaken identity become more frequent they begin to use them to their own advantage, right through to adulthood when things take a sinister turn. This is an entertaining novel about memory, identity, and the importance of both. Definitely worth a look.
Last Sentence: Sometimes an afternoon goes by and I look at two typed pages and wonder, whose life was that?
Last Sentence explained: By the end of the book Frank and Gerry have effectively swapped lives. As we know form the first sentence, Gerry is dead, and it is at his funeral that Frank meets Emily, Gerry's daughter. This book is addressed to her as Frank finds the only way he can tell the story of himself and Gerry is to write it down. Here is a reversal (the one alluded to in the last sentence) as it was Gerry who was the writer in his lifetime and now Frank has become one. Midway through the book the truth comes out that Frank and Gerry are twins who were adopted into two separate families. As adults, Gerry is a successful novelist who is having an affair with a woman from New York. He cannot bring himself to end the affair so he asks Frank to go to New York in his stead and end it for him. Needless to say things do not turn out well and Frank ends up killing her. Frank then moves to Berlin while Gerry's marriage fails regardless. He ends up renting Frank's old room and living with his adoptive father in the house where Frank grew up. The house beside Bram Stoker's. In this house Gerry effectively becomes Frank, just as after he dies, Frank will effectively become Gerry. This was a good read but at times I found it a little repetitive, not least because of the constant barrage of place names and Frank's overuse of the phrase 'apropos of nothing'. Entertaining nonetheless.


Cognitive science is a science of mental information processing that requires collaborative research in several disciplines. In the cognitive science program at Penn Engineering, the opportunity exists for studying a diversity of subjects which satisfy personal desires, developing a broad foundation for adapting to new societal demands, and maintaining flexibility for moving into new areas of interest if a change in personal career direction develops.
The BAS Degrees require students to combine knowledge of technology with an understanding of human and social values. They are designed for students who do not plan to work as professional engineers, and want a customized education which combines the liberal arts and technology in a manner unique to their career goals.


Steel Angles - Equal Legs Dimensions and static parameters of steel angles with equal legs - imperial units . The standard method for specifying an angle is L 2 x 2 x 1/4 - indicating an angle 2 inches deep and wide - and 1/4 inches thick. Sponsored Links . Related Topics .

Seymour Papert and I had worked on earlier versions of this society of mind theory and it was gradually shaping for maybe 10 years. And then, he began to get more involved with and spending more time developing the Logo language and getting children to use it and teaching teachers to train... to develop projects. And that was going well. And Seymour had less and less time to work on the basic cognitive theory and more and more need to develop the... his concepts of education. So, he started producing a series of papers and books about what some people call constructivism, the idea that in order to learn about things, children should actually be making things and building them and using them and trying to see what's good and bad about them, whereas in regular school you're being taught about things and being asked to write about them. But you're not being asked to build things and do things and do experiments and so forth. So, constructivism is now a sort of key word all over the world.
Marvin Minsky (1927-2016) was one of the pioneers of the field of Artificial Intelligence, founding the MIT AI lab in 1970. He also made many contributions to the fields of mathematics, cognitive psychology, robotics, optics and computational linguistics. Since the 1950s, he had been attempting to define and explain human cognition, the ideas of which can be found in his two books, The Emotion Machine and The Society of Mind. His many inventions include the first confocal scanning microscope, the first neural network simulator (SNARC) and the first LOGO 'turtle'.

Q: Quicksort causing stackoverflow? This is my implementation of quicksort:
int choosePivotIndex(int l, int r)
{
    return l + rand() % (r + 1 - l);
}

void swap(int a[], int l, int r)
{
    int tmp = a[l];
    a[l] = a[r];
    a[r] = tmp;
}

int partition(int a[], int l, int r)
{
    int p = choosePivotIndex(l, r);
    swap(a, p, r);
    int d = l;
    for (int i = l ; i < r ; ++i)
    {
        if (a[i] < a[r])
        {
            swap(a, i, d);
            ++d;
        }
    }
    swap(a, d, r);
    return d;
}

void quickSort(int a[], int l, int r)
{
    if (l < r)
    {
        int p = partition(a, l, r);
        quickSort(a, l, p - 1);
        quickSort(a, p + 1, r);
    }
}

void quickSort(int a[], int len)
{
    srand(static_cast<unsigned int>(time(nullptr)));

    quickSort(a, 0, len - 1);
}

I use it like so:
int a[10];
quickSort(a, 10);

It seems to work fine for small arrays but when I provide it with a big one (e.g. 300 000 elements) I get a stack overflow error. I tried to remedy it by using recursion only on the smaller part and sorting the bigger one in a while loop:
void quickSort(int a[], int l, int r)
{
    while (l < r)
    {
        int p = partition(a, l, r);
        if (p - l < r - p)
        {
            quickSort(a, l, p - 1);
            l = p + 1;
        }
        else
        {
            quickSort(a, p + 1, r);
            r = p - 1;
        }
    }
}

But I get the same results. Have I done something wrong? How can I make it work for bigger arrays?

A: As per the discussions in the comments section the code appears to be fine and the offending part would be the declaration of the array on the stack
int a[10];

Where this is fine for smaller arrays its easy to run into a stack overflow with large arrays, to test this you could declare a large array of int a[1000000] and without the quicksort code you would still get a stack overflow. It is therefore recommended to declare them on the heap by doing a new

A: Perhaps something in your CodeBehind file is throwing an exception. Have you checked that?

A: I have found that visual studio has quite the difficult time with WPF user controls.
The only thing that I can see is that it seems to use the latest compiled version of a control.  Usually, building the solution will fix the errors I have.  Sometimes, if I have multiple projects I have to build them manually one by one.

Sen. Ted Cruz appeared on Morning Joe Wednesday — the morning after his resounding victory in his the Texas Republican primary — and engaged in an explosive debate on gun control with MSNBC host Joe Scarborough.
MSNBC's Mike Barnicle kicked things off by asking Cruz if he thought it made sense that in some states an 18-year-old can buy an assault rifle but not a handgun.
"Different states have different laws," Cruz replied, before arguing that the assault weapons ban of yesteryear actually "had no effect on violent crime."
Cruz continued to argue that while the AR-15 may look "scary" it's not actually more dangerous than other common deer hunting guns.
Scarborough contended that guns like the AR-15 are "lighter" and "more lethal."
"It is designed to kill more effectively, more efficiently," he argued before asking Cruz that "if somebody takes a deer rifle into a high school in Parkland, that deer rifle is going to be as lethal as an AR-15?"
Things started to get contentious when the conversation moved on to Supreme Court rulings on the Second Amendment, and Scarborough told Cruz, "Senator, there are a lot of people, lawyers right now, who are rolling their eyes at what you're saying."
"My career was litigating before the Supreme Court," Cruz said. "I recognize this is not what you do."
"I don't need you to lecture me on what the Supreme Court does and what it doesn't do," Scarborough fired back. "You can talk down to me all you want to."
"Who's talking down to who?" Cruz asked. "You say lawyers are rolling their eyes at me."
"Even a dumb country lawyer like me understands that an AR-15 today, is not recognized as a constitutional right under the Second Amendment."
The two continued to debate the Heller Supreme Court ruling in 2008, which determined there is an individual constitutional right to have a handgun in one's home for self-protection.

Picks are listed in order as per standings on 2016-03-10 via Pro Sports Transactions.
Prospect Profiler Notes: Has been highly touted since he was a 14-year-old. His game was really seeming to come together after some difficulties with injuries. He had 17 points in his last 13 games to close out 2015, but again finds himself in the infirmary. When healthy, he's tough on the puck and hard to handle.
Prospect Profiler Notes: Size, shot, and smarts. Power forward especially effective on PP.
Power forward & physical presence in front of the net, especially on the powerplay.
Prospect Profiler Notes: Don't let the stat line fool you when it comes to this smart, smooth skating two-way defender. He is positionally sound with tremendous offensive upside.
Prospect Profiler Notes: Undersized, puck-moving, two-way defender makes up for size concerns with his high hockey IQ and the way he processes the game.
Prospect Profiler Notes: Big Finnish intelligent defender is very mobile.
Prospect Profiler Notes: One of the best names of this draft class, the slick centreman possesses patience and poise with the puck.
Sabres Traded Matt Moulson, Cody McCormick to Wild for Torrey Mitchell, 2014 second round pick (#39-Vitek Vanecek), 2016 second round pick on 2014-03-05. Canadiens traded Josh Gorges to Sabres 2016 second round pick on 2014-07-01.
Sharks Traded Brad Stuart to Avalanche for 2016 second round pick, 2017 sixth round pick on 2014-07-01. Avalanche traded 2015 second round pick (#31-Jeremy Roy) to Sharks for 2015 second round pick (#39-A.J. Greer), and 2016 second round pick 2017 sixth round pick on 2015-06-27.

The Navy's newest ship-killer missile is ready for a fight
A AGM-158C Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) deployed from a U.S. Navy F/A-18E/F Super Hornet in 2019 (U.S. Navy via Naval News)
The newest weapon in the Navy's arsenal is ready for action.
The Navy last week announced that the service's new AGM-158C Long-Range Anti-Ship Missile (LRASM) achieved early operational capability with the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet in August, a major milestone for the air-launched cruise missile.
The LRASM previously achieved EOC with the B-1B Lancer bomber back in December 2018.
The Navy Just Successfully Tested A New Missile From A B-1B Lancer. Here's Why Russia And China Should Be Scared
Conceived by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) as a replacement for the AGM-88 Harpoon anti-ship missile, the LRASM can deliver a 1,000-pound penetrating warhead at a range of up to 500 nautical miles, according to USNI News.
More importantly, the LRASM comes with a unique sensor and targeting system designed to hone in on targets in even the most contested environments, a system that includes "enhanced digital anti-jam GPS to support precision routing, guidance, and terminal homing in all weather conditions, day or night," per Jane's 360.
"LRASM is designed to detect and destroy specific targets within groups of ships by employing advanced technologies that reduce dependence on intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance platforms, network links and GPS navigation in contested environments," according to Lockheed Martin. "LRASM will play a significant role in ensuring military access to operate in open ocean/blue waters, owing to its enhanced ability to discriminate and conduct tactical engagements from extended ranges."
Thanks to this design, LRASM "can be sent to attack enemy task forces, skirting around air defense radars it detects and plotting the least-defended way forward," as Popular Mechanics explains. "Once it locates the enemy fleet, it can pick out a specific target and attack a specific part of the target—say, the location of the ship's combat information center, or the ship's gun or missile magazine."
With these capabilities, the LRASM "will play a significant role in ensuring military access to operate in the Pacific and in the littorals by providing a long range surface warfare capability," Naval Air Systems Command told Naval News, which first learned of the weapon's status.
Indeed, the LRASM's EOC declaration couldn't get here soon enough. With the U.S. now focusing on "great power competition" with Russia and China after 18 years of land-based counterterrorism operations in the Middle East, the Navy's anti-ship capabilities have been in dire need of a refresh.
According to USNI News, the LRASM could eventually end up a fixture of the Air Force B-52 Stratofortress and the Navy P-8A Poseidon.
