Free LEI Validation and Matching Tool Launches Today!
Datactics is today launching its free Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) health check service. The service, based on bulk data published daily by the Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF), will allow a financial firm to easily compare and augment its entity data with the entire GLEIF database of 1m+ companies. This helps banks and asset managers to perform regular health checks on the data quality of company information held in a legal entity master.
– It allows for the validation of a firm's entities to a field level e.g. checking a company's LEI expiry data against the information held in the GLEIF central database.
LEI Match Engine is built on Datactics' key strengths in matching very large data sets of entity, people and instrument data. Datactics developed LEI matching capability as part of several live projects where banks were building a legal entity master using data from multiple source systems, such as UK Companies House, Bloomberg, Bureau Van Dijk (BVD), Thomson Reuters' Perm ID and OpenCorporates.
The service is provided online at https://leimatch.datactics.com with a simple link through to register for access. Full details on the full-scale Entity Match Engine are available at https://www.datactics.com/solution/entity-match-engine/ .

Q: How to use nanosleep() in C? What are `tim.tv_sec` and `tim.tv_nsec`? What is the use of tim.tv_sec and tim.tv_nsec in the following?
How can I sleep execution for 500000 microseconds?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

int main()
{
   struct timespec tim, tim2;
   tim.tv_sec = 1;
   tim.tv_nsec = 500;

   if(nanosleep(&tim , &tim2) < 0 )
   {
      printf("Nano sleep system call failed \n");
      return -1;
   }

   printf("Nano sleep successfull \n");

   return 0;
}

A: Half a second is 500,000,000 nanoseconds, so your code should read:
tim.tv_sec  = 0;
tim.tv_nsec = 500000000L;

As things stand, you code is sleeping for 1.0000005s (1s + 500ns).

A: I usually use some #define and constants to make the calculation easy:
#define NANO_SECOND_MULTIPLIER  1000000  // 1 millisecond = 1,000,000 Nanoseconds
const long INTERVAL_MS = 500 * NANO_SECOND_MULTIPLIER;

Hence my code would look like this:
timespec sleepValue = {0};

sleepValue.tv_nsec = INTERVAL_MS;
nanosleep(&sleepValue, NULL);

A: tv_nsec is the sleep time in nanoseconds. 500000us = 500000000ns, so you want:
nanosleep((const struct timespec[]){{0, 500000000L}}, NULL);

A: POSIX 7
First find the function: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/nanosleep.html
That contains a link to a time.h, which as a header should be where structs are defined:

The  header shall declare the timespec structure, which shall > include at least the following members:
time_t  tv_sec    Seconds.
long    tv_nsec   Nanoseconds.

man 2 nanosleep
Pseudo-official glibc docs which you should always check for syscalls:
struct timespec {
    time_t tv_sec;        /* seconds */
    long   tv_nsec;       /* nanoseconds */
};

A: More correct variant:
{
struct timespec delta = {5 /*secs*/, 135 /*nanosecs*/};
while (nanosleep(&delta, &delta));
}

A: 500000 microseconds are 500000000 nanoseconds. You only wait for 500 ns = 0.5 µs.

A: This worked for me ....
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>   /* Needed for struct timespec */

int mssleep(long miliseconds)
{
   struct timespec rem;
   struct timespec req= {
       (int)(miliseconds / 1000),     /* secs (Must be Non-Negative) */
       (miliseconds % 1000) * 1000000 /* nano (Must be in range of 0 to 999999999) */
   };

   return nanosleep(&req , &rem);
}

int main()
{
   int ret = mssleep(2500);
   printf("sleep result %d\n",ret);
   return 0;
}

Do you live in Virginia Beach?
Virginia Beach is an independent city located in the U.S. state of Virginia. As of the 2010 census, the population was 437,994. In 2013, the population was estimated to be 448,479. Although mostly suburban in character, it is the most populous city in Virginia, having grown larger than the more urban neighboring city of Norfolk, and is the 39th most populous city in the United States.
Located on the Atlantic Ocean at the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Beach is included in the Hampton Roadsmetropolitan area. This area, known as "America's First Region", also includes the independent cities of Chesapeake,Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk, as well as other smaller cities, counties, and towns of Hampton Roads.
The city is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as having the longest pleasure beach in the world. It is located at the southern end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, the longest bridge-tunnelcomplex in the world.
Nickname(s): "The Resort City", "Neptune City"
In 1607, after a voyage of 144 days, three ships headed by Captain Christopher Newport, and carrying 105 men and boys, made their first landfall in the New World on the mainland, where the southern mouth of the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean. They named it Cape Henry, after Henry Frederick, Prince of Wales, the eldest son of King James I of England. These English colonists of theVirginia Company of London moved on from this area, as they were under orders to seek a site further inland, which would be more sheltered from ships of competing European countries. They created their first permanent settlement on the north side of the James River at Jamestown.
Adam Thoroughgood (1604–1640) of King's Lynn, Norfolk, England is one of the earliest Englishmen to settle in this area, which was developed as Virginia Beach. At the age of 18, he had contracted as anindentured servant to pay for passage to the Virginia Colony in the hopes of bettering his life. He earned his freedom after several years and became a leading citizen of the area. In 1629, he was elected to the House of Burgesses for Elizabeth Cittie [sic], one of four "citties" (or incorporations) which were subdivided areas established in 1619.
The resort initially depended on rairoad and electric trolley service. The completion of Virginia Beach Boulevard in 1922, which extended from Norfolk to the oceanfront, opened the route for automobiles, buses, and trucks. The passenger rail service to the oceanfront was eventually discontinued as traffic increased by vehicle. The growing resort of Virginia Beach became an incorporated town in 1906. Over the next 45 years, Virginia Beach continued to grow in popularity as a seasonal vacation spot. The casinos were replaced by amusement parks and family-oriented attractions. In 1927 The Cavalier Hotel opened and became a popular vacation spot.
The Alan B. Shepard Civic Center ("The Dome"), a significant building in the city's history, was constructed in 1958.was dedicated to the career of former Virginia Beach resident and astronaut Alan Shepard. As the area changed, the Dome was frequently used as a bingo hall. The building was razed in 1994 to make room for a municipal parking lot and potential future development. Real estate, defense, and tourism are major sectors of the Virginia Beach economy. Local public and private groups have maintained a vested interest in real-estate redevelopment, resulting in a number of joint public-private projects, such as commercial parks. Examples of the public-private development include the Virginia Beach Convention Center, the Oceanfront Hilton Hotel, and the Virginia Beach Town Center. The City assisted in financing the project through the use of tax increment financing: creating special tax districts and constructing associated street and infrastructure to support the developments. The Town Center opened in 2003, with related construction continuing. The Convention Center opened in 2005.
The city has begun to run out of clear land available for new construction north of the Green Line, an urban growth boundary dividing the urban northern and rural southern sections of the city. Infill and development of residential neighborhoods has placed a number of operating constraints on Naval Air Station Oceana, a major fighter jet base for the U.S. Navy. While the airbase enjoys wide support from Virginia Beach at large, the Pentagon Base Realignment and Closurecommission has proposed closure of Oceana within the next decade.
Local law prohibits the use of profanityalong the boardwalk. This sign along Atlantic Avenue indicates this law.
Virginia Beach was chartered as a municipal corporation by the General Assembly of Virginia on January 1, 1963. The city currently operates under the council–manager form of government.The city does not fall under the jurisdiction of a county government, due to state law. Rather, it functions as an independent city and operates as a political subdivision of the state.
The mayor is elected to a four-year term through direct election. The mayor presides over city council meetings, and serves as the ceremonial head and spokesperson of the city. A vice mayor is also elected by the city council at the first meeting following a council election.The current mayor of Virginia Beach isWill Sessoms, a Republican.


The following exercise was found among the papers of my late great-uncle, Edward Tischler, a long time student of Rosicrucianism. The paper has no date, but is most likely from either the 1940's or 1960's and was either delivered at a Rosicrucian Order, AMORC Conclave in San Jose, California, or in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The style and tone of the writing suggests the latter, as well as it having been possibly part of a lecture presented by Joseph Weed, author of Wisdom of the Mystic Masters an expose on basic AMORC teachings and practices first published in 1968.
The exercise is designed to help place the practitioner in greater harmony for Cosmic attunement through a systematic meditation and visualization on the four principle psychic centers of the heart, throat, pineal, and pituitary (crown) glands or centers.
The aversion of any meditation or energizing of the centers below the heart is typical of AMORC techniques, and of Weed's approach to psychic development.
Notation has been added at the end of the exercise to make it more compatible with qabalistic practices and doctrine.
Center your consciousness in your heart and visualize your entire chest area enveloped in a pink aura.
Take in a breath to the count of six while you hold this visualization.
Hold your breath in for a count of twelve and as you do so raise the pink cloud to a point 3 inches above the top of your head.
Release your breath slowly to the count of eight and at the same time expand the pink cloud so that it includes your head and the upper part of your body.
When your breath is expelled and your lungs are empty, hold your breath out to a count of twelve and at the same time keep in your minds eye the visualization of the shining pink cloud surrounding your head and upper body.
Repeat the process only using the color blue in your throat.
Repeat the process centering your consciousness in your pituitary gland, between eyebrows and above the bridge of your nose, about ½ inch behind your forehead. Visualize a brilliant white light around your head to the count of six as you breath in.
Hold for a count of twelve, raising the white aura to a point three inches above your head.
Release your breath to the count of eight and as you do so feel the pituitary center join with the center above your head so that they become as one while the light created by this fusion lights up the whole room.
When your breath is expelled hold your lungs empty for a count of twelve and see that brilliant sun-like aura expand so that it includes your head and the entire upper part of your body above the waist.
The exercise requires an increase in breath control similar to basic pranayama such as suggested by Swami Vivikenanda in his work Raja Yoga. This ability to hold the breath in and out for counts beyond four to six seconds requires a degree of conditioning and preparation. It is advisable that before performing the breath section of the exercise, several minutes be devoted to the simple Square Breathing used in many esoteric circles. This consists of breathing out to empty the lungs and holding out for a count of four. Then, the breath is take in for a four count, held for a four count, exhaled for a four count, and held out for a four count. This is repeated for two to three minutes. This seemingly simply exercise can be very difficult, as it increases the body and mind's energy reserves, the ph of the blood, and causes the cells of the body to harmonize in a singular rhythm as well as purge the body of toxins. In addition, the will, or ability to concentrate on a single task, is strengthened.
This will cause the lungs to expand, the body to relax, and thus increase one's ability to perform the suggested periods of breath retention as suggested in the above exercise.
Secondly, the exercise can be dramatically increased in effectiveness by feeling the body becoming filled with an intense white heat as the Square Breathing is performed; then for the final minute or two of the preparation period, focus the attention on the area above the head, visualizing it as in intense white point of light. This is the Kether of the qabalists.
Hold this image for one to two minutes, and then with the breath move it down into the heart, filling it with intense white light. Change this light to an intense scarlet, or cherry red, and then either move on to step one of the exercise (Pink aura around the heart) to combine these colors and mediate their potency, or move on to step two of the above exercise (Blue aura around the throat).
The colors red and white are well known in qabalistic and alchemical works for their symbolism of the intense creative powers of our psyche. See: "Part One, Imagination and Will-Power, Flying Roll No. II, Part III; and No. VI", in Ritual Magic of the Golden Dawn, Works by S.L. MacGregor Mathers and Others by Francis King.
Here the answer is quite simple, and in fact is an answer that can be applied to any esoteric exercise. The goal of these exercises on an emotional level is a sense of wholeness. For many this can most easily be described as Maslow put it "a peak experience". This feeling of success, victory, joy, and bursting enthusiasm all around a single event or moment. A feeling so overwhelming that we can almost experience it again in its entirety just by thinking about it.
If peak experiences are an aspect of 'wholeness' then the emotional discharge that they create can be re-experienced and transferred (reframed in NLP language) around another, albeit separate and distinct, experience. For example, if prior to imagining the sphere of light above our head (or pink cloud around our heart) we pause and remember a time when we were having a 'peak experience' and allow the context of the experience to fade while holding on to the emotions, we can build a new context around the 'old' and highly charged emotions. Thus, when ever we imagine the pink cloud we build with it the charge of the peak experience, it in turn can trigger new peak experiences. The same with when we imagine our "Kether" or primordial light in qabala. In fact, a Psychosynthesis exercise designed for young children in new educational experiences encourages them to visualize a light above their heads and to associate it with successful and peak experiences, and to 're-invoke' it prior to any new undertaking (Psychosynthesis in Education).
In exercises such as these, we not only re-invoke it and associate it with new and future experiences, we literally and imaginatively draw this power into us, and as such, our consciousness.

Q: self reference in monkey patched python class I am trying to understand the self reference in a patched method. The code is the following:
class foo():
    def __init__(self):
        self.child = lambda: none
        self.child.string = "child's string value"
        self.string = "string value 1"
        print "initialized"
    def func1(self):
        print self.string

if __name__=="__main__":
    foo0=foo()
    foo0.newMethod = lambda: "test"
    print foo0.newMethod()

    foo0.func1()
    foo0.child.secondMethod = foo0.func1
    foo0.child.secondMethod()

Why does the child's method refer its self to foo0? Is this any different from javascript?

A: The answer to that question lies in Python's distinction between unbound method and bound methods. When you define a method, it's unbound: it can operate on any instance of the class, and it is, in fact, nothing more than a function whose first argument is named self (and even then, it's a convention) and a little bit of checking so you don't do truly horrible things with them.
class Foo(object):
    def my_method(self, arg):
        print "self:", self
        print "arg:", arg

a = Foo()
print Foo.my_method(a, 2)
# self: self: <__main__.Foo object at 0x000000000219DE10>
# arg: 2

# You could, in theory, do that, but Python complains because it values the sanity
# of the people who will have to maintain your code :p
print Foo.my_method(1, 2)
# TypeError: unbound method my_method() must be called with Foo instance as first argument (got int instance instead)

So far, nothing special. However, Python has a bit of magic when we call a method not on the class itself (as is done above), but on an instance of that class (that is, on an object).
a.my_method(2)
# self: <__main__.Foo object at 0x000000000219DE10>
# arg: 2

Notice how suddenly you only have to supply arg to the method, even though it's defined with two arguments? That's because a.my_method is a bound method: it's the my_method method of the a object, not that of the Foo class. It is bound to that particular instance, and has a reference to that particular object in it (if you look at dir(a.my_method), you'll notice it has a im_self attribute).
However, in your example, if you were to add a print self statement in func1, it would print foo0 instead of foo0.child. That's because the "binding" happens not when you call the method (foo0.child.secondMethod()), but simply when you reference it (foo0.func1).
More importantly, it only ever happens when you reference a method that you defined on a class.
So in your example, foo0.child.secondMethod = foo0.func1 references foo0's func1 method (which gives you a bound method of foo0), but no magic is performed in the assignment itself. It's simply setting an attribute of foo0.child.
Does that make sense?

Appalling Toronto Star Report of Disability Accessibility Barriers on Greyhound Bus Ride from Toronto to Kitchener Reveals that the Ontario Government Doesn't Understand or Recall Why It Passed the AODA
On the front page of the Wednesday, January 29, 2014 Toronto Star was an appalling story, set out below about inexcusable accessibility barriers that a woman with a disability reportedly suffered, on a recent inter-city bus ride in Ontario. It highlights the human toll that persons with disabilities suffer due to the Ontario Government's glaring failure to keep its promise to effectively enforce the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act.

Did You Live at Rideau Regional Centre or Southwestern Regional Centre Between 1963 and 2009?
There is a lawsuit about Rideau and there is another lawsuit about Southwestern.
Many people labeled with intellectual disabilities lived at Rideau and Southwestern. The lawsuits are about what happened to them between 1963 and 2009.

Changes to UK Disability Benefit Payments Set to Reduce Independence
If you use a specialist wheelchair, mobility scooter or adapted car, these items of equipment are vital to allow you to maintain your independence and fully participate in the community, particularly when public transport is not always accessible. However, for people living in the UK who rely on these mobility aids, benefit changes mean that soon they could face losing their lifeline.

Ontario's English Catholic Teachers Union Presses the Ontario Government to Enact an Education Accessibility Standard under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act
Here is yet more momentum in support of our call for the Ontario Government to develop and enact an Education Accessibility Standard under the AODA. The Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association (OECTA) wrote the Ontario Government on January 7, 2014 to support our call for the Government to create this new accessibility standard.

Action Kit for Raising Disability Accessibility Issues in Two February 13, 2014 Ontario By-Elections
The Ontario Government called two provincial by-elections for February 13, 2014. The parties and media see this as a trial run for a general election that could be called in Ontario for later this spring. The by-elections are in the Thornhill riding, just north of Toronto, and the Niagara Falls riding.

Are You A Leadership Lemming?
A lemming is in the rodent family of animals. Lemmings are known for following each other—no matter what…even right off the proverbial cliff to their deaths. According to Wiki, this might be stretching the truth a bit. Due to a "strong biological urge," a lemming will recognize an overly populated condition and will head off into the wild to find food and shelter¹. Unfortunately, many lemmings get this urge simultaneously, and when faced with a river to cross, for example, the rodents will risk their lives and forge the river–one following another while trying to make it safely across the river. Some make it; some don't. These urges are in all of us–not just lemmings, in my opinion. We see a need for something to change and we charge out into the wilderness. We underestimate what is takes to cross rivers.
Yet, this notion of one following another seems to hold true in many of our lives–despite the inherent risks involved. It might be "a strong biological urge" that presses us to leave an area based on survival assessments. Under those circumstances, we are willing to follow anyone going anywhere. We truly are in survival mode; we are not thinking as deeply as possible. We hope that the person in front is leading us to food, shelter, and safety. We are vulnerable.
Interestingly enough, many doctors are in leadership positions–automatically granted to us because we graduated from an accredited college. We learned a lot of information about our respective areas; dentists get an abundance of information about the head and neck anatomy and functions. Yet, we really have limited training in how to lead others. As a matter of fact, many of us start out in survival mode–not high level leadership mode. Then, others are surprised when we fall short in our duties as leaders or clinicians. We are blamed for micro-managing, being poor business people, and failing to uphold professional responsibilities.
I have to admit it took me awhile to figure out how to lead more responsibly, and it's a continual effort. I was more of a boss, not a leader. Being visionary has its limitations. I can often see an end result quickly…and I grow impatient filling in all of the steps for others along the way. Knowing that about myself is one way I know my leadership abilities keep progressing; I am at least cognizant of my weaknesses. In my earlier days, I would simply bang my head against the wall when others would fail to follow my lead. I knew my way would get to the result faster and likely save time and money. Yet, I failed to recognize and appreciate the group skill set at the table. Somehow I would brush aside the hang-ups in my plans; I would forget that we had to go back and re-think some things. I would undervalue the needs' of others to methodically walk through each and every step in an overall plan. In no way, am I perfect, but I am more balanced in my approach to leadership. I am out of survival mode, have surpassed striving mode, and work to continually find a greater good for the groups I work with and work for.
Once in this better level of leadership, it becomes easier to assess how others are leading. It becomes easier to determine what is real and what is made up. It becomes easier to decipher who is leading out of self interest and who is leading for the greater good. I am familiar with the W.I.F.M. acronym (what's in it for me), and surely I am not naive to believe we do not ever act out of self interest. I certainly do at times. Most of the time, however, or at least 50% of the time, I am acting with a greater consciousness of how I am impacting our world and those around me. To me, when we get to this stage or level of leadership, we offer patients a better healthcare experience.
I am constantly on the look out for favorable experiences in my journey in life as well. If I were to report the experience I hate the most, I would say, "I hate the car salesperson." In several car-buying experiences, I have left feeling cheated and annoyed. I detest the "let me go ask my manager" game, and the endless bantering over the final package deal. So, creating positive experiences for people, our patrons, is paramount as we serve others. When we get stuck in lower level leadership stages, like where the lemmings start out and never leave, we struggle to recognize the needs of others because the focus remains on our needs; we are still worried about our food, shelter, and safety. In our businesses, we struggle with debt and truly do worry about our food and shelter. With this instability, we willingly follow others–often with little due diligence completed on the person(s) we are following.
When influencers pressure doctors–supposed leaders whom often aren't yet, but want to seem like they are–doctors can become victims. We become the leadership lemmings in a heavily pressured culture. We go along with the influencers to avoid appearing unknowing; we remain silent to not draw attention to ourselves; we follow with our heads down.
I created IntentionalDental Consulting to help others get out of the lemming leadership level. Playing it safe and remaining silent is stifling. It's often suppressing to our inner beliefs. Moreover, it's dangerous to follow the wrong influencers. A few close calls to the edge of a cliff and we realize how important it is to follow the right people. Sometimes we do get close to the edge. Mistakes happen. We learn things about others, and we choose differently the next time.
I wanted to leave you with something light and airy. My daughter showed me this YouTube video about people following one another. I insist that you watch this hilarious YouTube video entitled, "Seeing Eye People." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNyTqIsrk0w. Improv Everywhere took to the streets of New York City and introduced a new service: seeing eye people—for those who want to text and walk at the same time, but are concerned about their safety.
We cannot follow everyone every time. We must know what is right for us. And, we do need honest people around us to be our guides. If you are a dentist or know of one pondering change, wondering future steps in life's journey, or simply not happy, call me for a consultation. I will lead. With honestly. Not off a cliff.

The Laws of the United States
Published: January 6, 2023 / Updated: January 6, 2023 adminsss Gambling
The United States has a variety of laws governing gambling. These include state and federal statutes. Typically, the federal government imposes a ban on wagering on sporting events. There are several criminal statutes that are applicable to illegal gambling on the Internet. In addition, the federal law known as the Travel Act prohibits illegal gambling on interstate commerce. This act applies to both Internet casinos and players who use interstate facilities to engage in unlawful activities.
There is a lot of debate over whether or not the Federal Government should regulate online gambling. Some believe that the Commerce Clause allows the government to preempt states' attempts to regulate their own gambling activities. Others argue that the First Amendment guarantees free speech. Both of these arguments have not proven successful.
There are many states that allow varying amounts of online gambling. Many states have a minimum age for all kinds of gambling, and others have different requirements for different kinds of gambling. For example, New Jersey requires a minimum age of 21 for most casino games. Several states have set a different age limit for sports betting.
Currently, there are seven federal criminal statutes that are applicable to the illegal operation of Internet gambling. These statutes are: the Wire Act, the Illegal Gambling Business Act, the Travel Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, the Gambling Devices Transportation Act, and the Bank Secrecy Act. Although the Wire Act is often cited as the primary law governing Internet gambling, it is unclear how its provisions apply to Internet casinos. A more specific statute, the Skill Game Protection Act, would clarify the Wire Act to specifically exclude certain types of games from the definition of gambling.
Online gambling is becoming a hot topic in the U.S., as more states move to legalize it. Some states, like Indiana, have already approved the creation of online casinos, while Illinois has only just begun its sportsbook online program. As of now, almost every casino in the state offers online IN sportsbooks. It is anticipated that Indiana will become the first state to legalize online casinos in 2023. While this may seem like a long time away, more and more Americans are able to bet on sports online.
Until recently, there was a lack of clarity on how to enforce these laws. Some have argued that state law outside of a state's borders is unconstitutional, while others have claimed that the Commerce Clause and First Amendment guarantee free speech. However, state officials have expressed concerns that the Internet could be used to transport illegal gambling into their jurisdictions.
The United States has not yet enacted any laws that prevent internet operators from conducting business in offshore jurisdictions. However, there are some factors that could help to weed out low-level gambling cases. One is the UIGEA, which regulates commercial activity, and also includes Congressional findings about the impact of the Act on interstate commerce.

The X.Org 7.5 Release Day, But With No Release
Written by Michael Larabel in X.Org on 17 August 2009 at 03:15 PM EDT. 14 Comments
The latest X.Org 7.5 release plans placed the 17th of August as the release date for this next major X.Org update along with the release of X Server 1.7. However, to no surprise, this is not going to happen today. X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7 continues to be delayed without any revised release schedule.
X Server 1.7 was supposed to be branched more than a month ago, but that never occurred, nor was there any beta release. In effect, X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7 is currently running eight weeks behind schedule right now, but still, it's unlikely to see this release come together in eight weeks from now. This is in fact just the latest delay, with X.Org 7.5 originally being scheduled for release back in April and then July.
With X Server 1.7 running behind schedule it's already been rejected from Ubuntu 9.10 and from OpenSuSE 11.2. It will likely be dropped from other distributions refreshing this fall too. Once release and picked up by the major distributions, X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7 will bring Multi-Pointer X and many other changes to the Linux desktop.
X.Org 7.4 was released in September of 2008 (after facing delays too), while this February there was the X Server 1.6 release available as an update. With the way things are currently going for X.Org 7.5, we will likely not see its release before late October or November, which will put about 13 or 14 months between these major releases.

Gallipoli Centenary Commemoration @ Hawick Callants Club, Scotland In memory of 132 local men that lost their lives at Gallipoli.
It has been a tradition for the Hawick Callants Club to commemorate Gallipoli since 1916 by laying a wreath at 'The Horse' statue in Oliver Place, Hawick, because no war memorial was erected until the 1920s.
For this Centenary Year the tradition was carried out on Sunday 12th July 2015. It was a beautiful sunny morning. All the supporters gathered @ 13.30 hours. The Club Vice President, together with The Honorary Provost and Recitor-Rev Michael Scouler stepped forward. The Vice President laid the Club wreath after which the Reciter read the words 'For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon.
Everyone then moved on to Wilton Lodge Park where the town War Memorial is situated. Individual crosses had been planted in the grass beside the memorial of all those who had fallen. These included a photograph and personal details.
At the entrance to the park club members, together with representatives of the King's Own Scottish Borderers Association, Ex Serviceman's Associations and British Legion marched through the gate to the Memorial. They were accompanied by the bugler and a piper playing the KOSB march 'Blue Bonnets Over the Border'.
At 14.00 hours the wreath layers including President John Crowe marched to the Memorial where the service commenced. Before and after each wreath was laid 12 names out of a total of 132 were read out. The service was accompanied by music provided by Hawick Saxhorn Band.
It was a most moving ceremony attended by a large number of local people including relatives of those that died. President John Crowe expressed his grateful thanks to Callants Club Secretary Brian Tait for inviting the G&DI to be present on this solemn occasion.

Obituary- Beloved 'CSI professor' passes away
Michael Joyce poses with Criminal Justice students. (Image courtesy of: Lisa Joyce)
Edith Noriega | Staff Writer
His students and staff will forever remember Michael D. Joyce, homicide detective by day, "CSI professor" by night at Riverside City College.
Michael D. Joyce passed away Feb. 10 at the age of 69. He is survived by the love of his life, his wife, Lisa, children Kelly and Michael Jr. along with six grandchildren.
Joyce was born in Long Beach, Calif. and was a resident of Lake Arrowhead. By age 19 he was married with a child. He was always determined to make something of himself and be successful, being that he had a difficult childhood.
He lived in Saudi Arabia as a young teen and worked in the oil industry. When he returned to the United States, he attended RCC and took his first Administration of Justice class.
"He was immediately hooked," said his wife Lisa Joyce.
He graduated from RCC in 1964, later joined the Riverside County Sheriff's Department and went from being a deputy to homicide detective. In 1981, he was promoted to the Riverside County District Attorney Office Bureau of Investigation and was again promoted to Assistant Chief Investigator, where he remained until his retirement in 1996.
Dr. Oliver Thompson, who is now an Administration of Justice professor at RCC, worked with Joyce for more than 30 years as a young deputy in 1965 for Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
"Mike was a real caring, concerned, compassionate individual, who was never willing to believe that somebody could not succeed," Thompson said. "He believed that there was success in all of his students. (He was) one of the real good guys and a person who will definitely be missed in the Administration of Justice program here at RCC."
Joyce was also a part-time instructor at RCC, where he taught Administration of Justice for more than 34 years.
Agnieszka Podgorska, a former student of Joyce, came to the United States in 2008 from Zielona Gora, Poland right after finishing high school. In her second semester at RCC she stumbled into one of his classes by accident.
"It was fall, I was so sick I had the worst flu of my life, but I didn't want to miss the first class," Podgorska said. "I was late so I just sat in the back. Toward the end of the class he showed us guns. I walked up to him and asked him why are you showing us guns in a sociology class. He always called me sweetheart ever since, and he says, 'But sweetheart this is not a sociology class, this is criminal justice.'"
Podgorska was the first student at RCC certified in Joyce's Investigative Assistance Program where she was able to get into the DA office and become an intern with the Bureau of Investigation for two years.
She and Joyce started a Crime Victim Advocate program, where they advocated for psychological aid to help criminals with rehabilitation.
"Since the very first time I met him, he was very supportive he was so kind in his heart and so understanding," Podgorska said. "He would always try to teach me patience and was very kind to people."
Among Joyce's many accomplishments was an Officer of the Year Award in 1980 with the Riverside Sheriff's Department.
In 2013, he received The Glenn Hunt Outstanding Associate Faculty Service Award for exceptional service. In addition, he created and was the director of the "Criminalistics Learning Laboratory" at RCC for students to actively participate and challenge themselves in the study of Forensic Science and Crime Scene Investigation.
"He not only influenced our students here at the college who are going into law enforcement or detective work, he also influenced those that he had arrested all very positively," said Jan Schall, a longtime professor at RCC.
2 thoughts on "Obituary- Beloved 'CSI professor' passes away"
Pamela ohlhauser says:
Mike was a inspiration to so many people of all ages that took his class. He was one of the best
Timothy Guy says:
He was a great man and an even better professor. He made you hungry to learn more about the subject. I'll never forget his simulated crime scene projects.
I wonder how many people sitting in the Quad wondered what the heck was going with people getting searched.
He helped the world become a better place by getting so many people into the law enforcement field. Just imagine how many students he inspired in his 34 years at RCC.

The STARmobile on-train ticketing application enables Transport for Wales to increase employees productivity and passengers happiness
"Fujitsu is a truly collaborative partner, which understands our needs, as well as the needs of our customers and the transport retail industry. It has enabled us to undertake an exciting transformational journey."
Chad Collins, Head of Retail Transport for Wales Rail Services
Increased revenue through improved devices
Transport for Wales was set-up to 'Keep Wales Moving' by delivering expert advice, customer-focused services and targeted investment in modern transport infrastructure. Transport for Wales Rail Services (TfWRS) is a Welsh train operating company operated by Keolis/ Amey Wales Cymru Limited, which commenced operating the Wales & Borders franchise in October 2018.
Transport for Wales Rail Services (TfWRS) inherited the innovative FUJITSU STARmobile solution when it was awarded the franchise in 2018. However, the STARmobile fleet needed an update due to outdated and worn-out consumer mobile phones. TfWRS wanted a more reliable, rugged manageable device that would better meet the needs of conductors and passengers.
Fujitsu migrated TfWRS to an enhanced version of FUJITSU STARmobile on-train ticketing application, running on 279 new Zebra TC56 handsets, which increased availability and sales revenue, improved battery life, better durability in the field, simpler management and greater reliability.
Increased revenue collection and improved passenger experience
Device utilisation increased from 25% to 80% due to ease of use
New functionality enabled, including smartcard reading and loading, and Scan to Pair
Number of devices has reduced by a third, lowering costs and maintenance overheads
Battery life increased by 50% and can be swapped out when needed

After a stomper year of nationwide tour and album release with my collaborator Don Baker I am now back in the studio recording a range of material.
"Baker Rose" (Don Baker & Clara Rose) are set to release their new album in April 2016 and embark on an extensive nationwide tour – catch us at a venue near YOU!
Summer 2015 has come and gone: and what a summer it was!
May and June saw the Baker/Rose tour in full flight with shows in some of Ireland's most beautiful arts centres. We traveled the length and breadth of Ireland in Don's trusty Volkswagen Estate and discussed life… love… metaphysics… and MUSIC. The venues that hosted us were: Wexford Arts Centre, Balor Arts Centre, Sirius Arts Centre, Wesport Arts Centre. We were treated so well by all the venue managers, staff, sound engineers in these venues and they are truly wonderful supporters of the arts in Ireland. Support your local arts centre!
I ticked off a few boxes of 'dreams' this summer also with performances in London and in the famous 'Music Triangle' in the U.S.A…'The Blues Kitchen, Camden run a weekly Blues Jam on Sunday evenings – you sign up and then get to perform with their sizzling house band! I got up and jammed with them and had a ball – we churned out standards 'Honky Tonk Woman' and 'Johnny B. Goode' and had the whole bar rockin' – such fun!


Playing a key role in reaching the podium.
Gliding down the boulevard in style.
Who said the Bangle BMWs couldn't look good?
This is how you show off your muscle car's muscle.
Putting trust in your equipment.
Get ready, TUDOR United SportsCar Championship, Motegi and Mazda are coming!
Giving the Japanese BMW M3 fighter a proper stance.

3 Panthers picked in MLB draft
Thomas Yang | Visual Editor
The Baltimore Orioles selected junior pitcher Dan Hammer (18) in the 13th round of the MLB draft.
By Michael Nitti, Staff Writer
Three Panthers closed the book on their amateur baseball careers Wednesday. Though the first two days of the MLB draft passed without any teams drafting Pitt players, the third day of the draft saw three selected — Dan Hammer, Derek West and Connor Perry.
RHP Dan Hammer
Right-handed pitcher Dan Hammer was selected by the Baltimore Orioles in the 13th round of the draft and 378th overall.
After having two rough years as a first-year and a sophomore, this season seemed like the perfect time for Hammer to break out. But the Philadelphia native struggled in his junior year at Pitt. In 17 appearances this season, 13 coming as a starter, Hammer had a 6.55 ERA in 66 innings pitched.
Nonetheless, the Orioles' scouts see the upside and undeniable talent in Hammer, as he struck out 80 batters in those 66 innings.
This was the first year since Hammer became a Panther that he was eligible for the draft, and having just completed his third year of college baseball, he will still be eligible for one more season as a Panther. It looks like he plans to sign with Baltimore, though, saying in a Panthers press release he is glad to have been chosen by the Orioles.
"I feel extremely honored to have been selected by the Baltimore Orioles organization," Hammer said. "I am very much looking forward to continuing to pursue a lifelong dream."
RHP Derek West
Just one round after Hammer, right-handed pitcher Derek West was selected 436th overall in the 14th round by the Houston Astros. West enjoyed a nice redshirt junior campaign, leading the Panthers in strikeouts with 82 to go along with a 3.82 ERA in 68.1 innings pitched.
Hailing all the way from Orange City, Florida, West missed his first two years with the Panthers due to injuries. Even so, he was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 28th round of last year's draft after playing just one season at Pitt. The decision to come back for another year clearly paid off, as West managed to cut his draft position nearly in half, having been chosen 832nd overall in 2018.
Like Hammer, West has another year of eligibility, but it looks like he too won't be coming back to Pitt this time. In a post-draft statement, he thanked Pitt head baseball coach Mike Bell and pitching coach Jerry Oakes for developing his pitching skills this year.
"I am excited to see what the future has for me and what the next chapter in my life will be," he said. "Forever a Panther."
OF Connor Perry
Later in the day, outfielder Connor Perry was selected in the 28th round and 832nd overall by the Detroit Tigers. Arguably Pitt's best player this year, leading the team in HR with 15 while patrolling centerfield, Perry was the final Panther to get picked in this year's draft.
Having played high school ball just east of Pittsburgh at Norwin High School in North Huntingdon, Perry was not always a member of Pitt's baseball program. Prior to transferring in for his junior year, he played at Lackawanna Community College in Scranton for two seasons.
After a lackluster performance last season, Perry broke out in a huge way for the Panthers this year. Last season, he batted just .190 with zero HR, nine RBI and six doubles. This season, in addition to his 15 HR, Perry raised his batting average to .289 and increased his RBI and doubles total to 35 and 13, respectively.
With no years of eligibility remaining, it seems obvious that Perry would pursue a baseball career and sign with the Tigers.
"I can't wait to start my professional career," Perry said after the draft. "Thank you, Pittsburgh, for everything."

When I first saw these panels a few years ago I was quite amazed – I couldn't believe that panels of this quality could be made at this price point – I had seen (and rejected) plenty of "cheap and nasty" panels over the years but had never come across "cheap and excellent".
Several of our trade customers have also commented on the quality of this range – they have been particularly impressed with its strong construction which lends itself to use in commercial areas such as hotels and changing rooms.
The panels have proven to be very popular with our customers, making Vicenza one of our best sellers. Mr Cummins of Merseyside, who provided the photo above, found them to be really easy to install and was really pleased with the finished result. This was echoed by Mr Spencer of Livingston who said " I fitted my Black Marble effect panels at the weekend, first time I have used such an item and have to say VERY impressed. So easy to install and looks fantastic".
And I have to agree with them – I think they look superb! The marble effects are subtle and natural, and the sparkle panels are really eye-catching.
Order a sample pack today to see for yourself – I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

HOW ARE DAINO PRODUCTS MADE?
When designing wooden items, we shape the wood, sand and then polish it with a nice finishing oil to ensure its life. For some of our products we laser etch designs into the wood. We then find the perfect accenting fabric/materials that will bring out the natural grain and beauty of the wood to finish the piece. Our wood is ethically sourced from over 28 countries in the world. Our watch head's are Japanese Miyota Citizen Quartz Movement and our final arrangements and processing are done in Canada.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, and PayPal for online orders.
HOW DO I RESIZE MY WATCH?
In order to adjust the size of your watch, we strongly recommend that you bring it to a watch repair shop (ideal option), or virtually any jewelry store at your local mall. They have the correct tools necessary to size the watch. Please note the arrows on the inside the band that identify which way to hammer the pins out of the watch.
Sorry! At this point in time our manufacturing process does not allow for individual custom orders. This includes custom sizing, wood grain and lens requests. What you see on our site is what is available. If the order meets our moq (minimum order quantity), we can try our best to meet your needs.
ARE THE WOODEN WATCHES WATER RESISTANT?
Yes, they are. Each watch has a different water resistant rating. Please check the watch's description that you are interested to know how resistant your watch is rated at. Some of our watches are capable of being in waters as deep as 50 meters (5ATM). For almost all of our watches, you can wash your hands or come in contact with small amounts of water (life proof). Although our watches are almost all at least water resistant, it's recommended to keep it away from water as best as possible in order to ensure the wood's longevity. By life proof, we don't mean that jumping off of the coast of Havana on your summer vacation is the best idea.
HOW CAN I TAKE CARE OF MY SUNGLASSES & WATCHES?
Our wooden items are extremely low-maintenance, thanks to their protective coating. They do not require waxing and are water resistant. We do recommend that you keep the sunglasses in a hard case whenever possible, in order to protect them from impact. Although your products might be waterproof, it is ideal that you do not leave any wooden parts exposed in water for long periods of time in order to help preserve the wood.
HOW DURABLE ARE DAINO SUNGLASSES?
To keep it short: very. All of our sunglasses feature central frames carved from a single piece of solid, natural hardwood. This reduces the chance of splintering or fragmentation which can occur in inferior frames that have been glued together. We also apply a protective sealant to ensure that the glasses are water resistant and will last for years.

Q: Why use Angular 2 inside an ASP.NET project? There is an ASP.NET Core with Angular 2 template in Visual Studio 2017. But why use it? Wouldn't it be better to use ASP.NET to serve JSONP to Angular and develop the Angular Frontend completely separated (I would prefer Visual Studio Code)? Looks like better separation of concerns to me.
The Angular App (a true SPA, no other pages with Razor or the like required) could then be hosted with any webserver. Or are there benefits in using Angular inside the ASP.NET project that I (as an Angular but not ASP.NET newbie) am missing?

A: There are many reasons why you would still want to have the power of a server for other tasks than serving JSON data. Here are two:
Server-side rendering - The UI for your startup page can be pre-built and sent to the client before your Angular app is sent or starts running.
Microsoft Identity - You can use the already existing framework for authentication by just clicking a button during project creation. You still need to use round trips to the server for registration and login. Why not use what already exists?
