Q: How do I fix this exception being thrown at a certain part of my code? When I build the code, I don't get any errors in the output window. However, after running it, the compiler throws an exception (I'll comment where it is being thrown) at my code saying "Exception thrown: read access violation.
temp was 0xCDCDCDCD.".
I tried researching what this error is, and I found that this is for unassigned memory, but I don't see where something is being unassigned.
This is my Linked List .cpp file. The exception is thrown at a line towards the end of this file.
#include "linkedlist.h"

struct ll::node
{
    weapons data;
    node* next;
};

ll::ll()
{
    head = NULL;
}

ll::~ll()
{
    while (head != NULL)
    {
        node* temp = head;
        head = head->next;
        delete temp;
    }
}

void ll::addItem(weapons obj)
{
    node* newNode = new node;
    node* temp = head;

    newNode->data = obj;

    if (head == NULL)
        head = newNode;
    return;

    while (temp->next != NULL)
    {
        temp = temp->next;
    }
    if (temp->next == NULL)
    {
        temp->next = newNode;
        return;
    }
}

void ll::displayItems()
{
    for (node* temp = head; temp != NULL; temp = temp->next)
    {
            temp->data.getDescription(); //EXCEPTION THROWN HERE
    }
}

This file has the inherited class "Weapons" which is the object that is being called as "temp->data". As well as where I have "getDescription".
#include <vector>

using namespace std;

//base class
class inventory
{
protected:
    //number of items in inventory
    int mNumItems;
public:
    //getters
    void displayInv();
    int getNumItems();
    virtual void getDescription();
};

//weapon class
class weapons : public inventory
{
private:
    //name of object
    string mName;
    //what the object is
    string mInfo;
    //how much of the object
    int mAmount;
    //how much damage does it do
    double mDamage;

public:
    //constructor
    weapons();
    weapons(string, string, double, int);
    //getters
    string getName();
    void getDescription();
    int getAmount();
    double getDamage();
    string getInfo();

    //mutators
    void setAmount(int);
};

This is where I define weapons
//weapon class
weapons::weapons()
{
    mName = " ";
    mInfo = " ";
    mDamage = 0.0;
    mAmount = 0;
}

weapons::weapons(string name, string info, double dmg, int amt)
{
    mName = name;
    mInfo = info;
    mDamage = dmg;
    mAmount = amt;
}

string weapons::getName()
{
    return mName;
}

int weapons::getAmount()
{
    return mAmount;
}

double weapons::getDamage()
{
    return mDamage;
}

string weapons::getInfo()
{
    return mInfo;
}

void weapons::getDescription()
{
    cout << getName() << ", " << getDamage() << " damage, " << getInfo() << " Amount: " << getAmount() << endl;
}

void weapons::setAmount(int amt)
{
    mAmount = amt;
}

Let me know if I need to include anymore files!
I get the expected results, which is for it to describe an item which I have in the Linked List. Unfortunately, my only problem is that this exception is being thrown.

A: Problem
In
struct ll::node
{
    weapons data;
    node* next;
};

and
void ll::addItem(weapons obj)
{
    node* newNode = new node; // leaks if node not added
    node* temp = head;

    newNode->data = obj;

    if (head == NULL)
        head = newNode;
    return; // this is a NASTY bug of a different sort. Most of the time
            // the function will exit without doing ANYTHING

    while (temp->next != NULL)
    {
        temp = temp->next;
    }
    if (temp->next == NULL) // the only way out of the above loop is if
                            // temp->next == NULL. This if is redundant.
    {
        temp->next = newNode;
        return;
    }
}

Nothing ever sets newNode->next to a safe value. That allows
    while (temp->next != NULL)
    {
        temp = temp->next;
    }

to fail because there are no guarantees that temp->next is ever NULL and the loop goes marching off the end of the list.
Solution
Force next to a safe value.
struct ll::node
{
    weapons data;
    node* next = NULL;
};

Or a more versatile version
struct ll::node
{
    weapons data;
    node* next;
    node(const weapons & weap, // const reference eliminates a possible copy
         node * link = NULL): // if you know what the next link will be,
                              // you can add it here. If not, it's always NULL
        data(weap),
        next(link)
    {
    }
};

addItem now looks something like
void ll::addItem(const weapons & obj)
{
    if (head == NULL)
    {
        head = new node(obj); // only making node if we need it
                              // less chance of leak
    }
    else
    {
        node * temp = head;
        while (temp->next != NULL)
        {
            temp = temp->next;
        }
        temp->next = newNode(obj);
    }
}

But you can do something really sneaky here to make life easier. head is really a next pointer by another name, so if you can abstract the different name... And we can by tracking a pointer to next rather than a pointer to the node. This is really handy when you have to insert or remove an item: You have a reference both to the node in question and the insertion point in the previous node.
void ll::addItem(const weapons & obj)
{
    node ** temp = &head; // get pointer to insertion point
    while ((*temp) != NULL) // next node, including head, is not null
    {
        temp = &(*temp)->next; // get pointer to next insertion point
    }
    *temp = newNode(obj); // insert node
}

Half the code. Example of how this helps remove:
void ll::removeItem(const weapons & obj)
{
    node ** temp = &head;
    while ((*temp) != NULL && (*temp)->data != obj)
    {
        temp = &(*temp)->next;
    }
    if  (*temp != NULL) // found it!
    {
        node * rem = *temp; // get node to remove so we don't lose it when we relink
        *temp = rem->next; // point at item after rem
        delete rem; // release item
    }
}

Apple Discontinues iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle
by Anton Shilov 19 comments
Apple has discontinued its iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle personal media players. The only iPod that remains in Apple's fleet is the iPod Touch, which is based on the iOS device hardware and software stacks. At present, Apple's iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle are still available from retailers like BestBuy, but EOL of the outdated iPods once again signals that MP3 players are essentially a dead product category. Apple launched its first iPod in late 2001 and the player quickly gained popularity among users of Apple's Mac computers. Initially, Steve Jobs did not want iPod to be compatible with Windows-based PCs as he considered the player to be an important selling point for the Mac platform as back then MP3 players from other makers were...

Frank Petronio :: International Portfolio :: PRO IT Service S.R.L. - Choose a professional and accessible service for your online image!
I first became aware of PRO IT Service when it helped me out of a jam pro bono. I was immediately impressed by its depth of knowledge about Movable Type and MySQL, so after getting past the crisis, I hired PRO IT Service to help me upgrade a client with a customized Movable Type installation. Now, I'm about ready to move a huge Movable Type installation to PRO IT Service for hosting. I guess you could say I'm sold on PRO IT Service.
Frank Petronio a very talented photographer from New York contacted me and asked for an important fix on his movable type blog.
Frank was hosting his blog with Media Temple and had it backed on a Berkeley database. From a certain moment, his Berkeley database became corrupted and he could operate his blog.
On September the 20th, 2009 which is two days ago, in my evening, I've got an email from Frank Petronio describing the problem that he had.
I am a photographer with the website www.frankpetronio.com. The blog runs on MT v.3, developed in 2005 by Michael, local developer. For 4.5 years it has run flawlessly.
"I don't mind doing this work, but the problem is simply daunting. The suggestions of Mike T don't actually help any, though I realize he means well.
However, I do like his idea of you contacting Mihai Bocsaru, as he seems to have extensive experience with these kinds of problems (I checked out Mihai's site and was impressed). My suggestion is to talk with him and see what he'd charge to do the MySQL conversion.
If you do hire him, he's going to need the credentials for the MySQL database I created for you. You can tell him that that stuff is commented out in the mt-config.cgi file.
Also, I'm available to answer questions and help in any way he needs.
NOW I am unable to post to my website but I need to for business purposes.
Thanks to Mike T, which referred Frank to me I've been able to fix Frank's problem and to have him be able to operate his movable type blog again.
Frank indeed had an ugly Berkeley database failure!
After some investigation I've found the issue, I've isolated it and then I've recovered the entire Berkeley database. Then I wanted to make sure that the database is indeed fixed and operable.
Moments after, I've started the database migration from Berkeley to mySQL.
Starting with Movable Type v4.x the Berkeley database is not longer supported.
As a professional I've considered that just converting Frank's database to mySQL, won't be enough.
He was running movable type v3.35 which was released about 3 years ago. Since that version was released, Six Apart din an incredible job with Movable Type 4.
Movable Type v4 appeared in 2007 and since then we've seen huge efforts from Six Apart crew to make the tool better, more stable, faster and to add to it more and more features.
For this consideration I decided to upgrade Frank's movable type installation to the latest version, movable type v4.31 released on the 20th of August, 2009.
He turned out to be very nice and helpful.
This is really good for me to know. I'll keep him in mind when I'm up against MT stuff I don't know.
This kind of feedback is what motivates me to do this kind of work, web development!

Evie Joseph (left) and Carys Verdicchio (right) of Rotations Trampoline Club.
Two top Huntingdon trampolining talents are jumping for joy after receiving international recognition.
Carys Verdicchio has been handed a coveted place on the Great Britain Development Squad. The 12 year-old prospect is the only gymnast from the East region to make the cut.
And fellow Rotations Trampoline Club rising star Evie Joseph, is one of only 10 hot prospects from across the country to be selected for the England squad.
The two girls attended a profile day at the National Sports Centre at Lilleshall in December after impressing at major events – such as the English Championships and British Championships – in the last couple of years and they were recently notified of their selections.
Rotations head coach Sonia Verdicchio said: "Every member, coach and parent connected to Rotations is immensely proud of both girls and it's a huge honour for the club to have two of our gymnasts recognised in this way.
"It shows that we can produce gymnasts of high quality who can go on to represent their country.
The call-ups are reward for several years of hard work and fine progress for the Rotations duo.
Verdicchio, a pupil at St Peter's School in Huntingdon, took up trampolining at the age of six. Joseph, who attends Comberton Village College, took up the sport when seven.
Rotations, which was previously known as St Ivo Trampoline Club, has been operating for more than 20 years.
The club, based at Cirrus Court in Huntingdon, currently boast 150 members of all abilities and hold classes six days of the week.
They also provide play sessions for pre-school children.


Nuno Espírito Santo is well aware of what is at stake in his first Midlands derby against Aston Villa – but wants his team to control their emotions and play their normal game.
It is an approach which has paid dividends so far this season with Wolves second in the Sky Bet Championship table and the chance to go top with three points in tonight's game (5.30pm).
Hence why Nuno is keen on Wolves concentrating on their own qualities as they welcome an equally in-form Villa side in front of a capacity crowd.
"This is another game for us and fortunately it is at Molineux where we feel good and where we want to be," said Nuno.
"We know how much a derby game means to fans and that it is a special game for everybody.
"It will be a full crowd at Molineux with our pack behind us, singing for us and we have to fight to the last minute.
"At the same time we have to control our emotions.
"It is a derby game but we don't need to run any more because we are already running a lot.
"It is about control, focusing on our tasks and doing our jobs.
"Knowing that every moment in the game is important and if you make a mistake you have to recover from it very quickly.
"There has been nothing different in the preparation and our routines – it is always the same every game and that is important.
Nuno expects a very stern test against a Villa side which is upwardly mobile having won their last four games in succession.
"They are an experienced squad with an experienced coach and are a good team on a good run," said the Head Coach.
"We will look at the strength and abilities of our opponents and also where we can harm them and what we have to be aware of.
"It is about us – putting our ideas on the pitch and trying to be stronger than they are.
"The game is about the players and how they perform and our job is to make sure our players perform better.
"Our objective has to be to fight really hard knowing it is a very tough team in front of us.
Wolves fans have – as all the way this season – got right behind the team for today's game with a capacity crowd expected.
Nuno remains appreciative of the backing the team are receiving, week-in week-out.
"What can I ask more to our fans that they are not already giving to us?" he asks.
"They always support us, home and away.
"We always have our fans behind the team and we have to be thankful for that.
"I will say to the team again to fight for our fans, we realise what it means to the fans.
"We have to fight like we do every game and we have to play football.
Meanwhile Nuno himself admits he will feel a few nerves ahead of such a big derby game – but that is normal!
"I am nervous every game but always focused," he says.
"We have a young squad which must control their emotions.

How does the root of racism grow, and what feeds it?
Veteran television journalist and broadcaster Monica Kaufman Pearson, the first African American to anchor an Atlanta-area evening newscast, posed those questions during the 2019 Holmes-Hunter Lecture, held Feb. 7 at the Chapel.
"It's finally time for us—and you young people are going to be the ones to do it—to get to that root of racism, yank it out of our culture and destroy it," she said.
According to Pearson, the roots continue to grow when those messages are passed down from generation to generation, when people don't admit their biases, when people embrace the stereotypes they see in movies and television and when people aren't sensitive to the feelings of others.
Getting to know each other on a personal level—eating, working, studying and playing together—is a way Pearson suggests to overcome those issues.
An open and honest dialogue is key to preventing those misunderstandings. That means explaining why something was hurtful and not allowing stereotypes to filter into conversations.
The lecture, named in honor of Charlayne Hunter-Gault and Hamilton Holmes, the first African American students to attend the University of Georgia, also was designated a Signature Lecture. It is sponsored by the Office of the President and focuses on race relations, civil rights and education. It has been held annually since 1985. Holmes' widow, Marilyn, and his children were in attendance, as was Mary Frances Early, the first African American to graduate from UGA.
In addition to giving the lecture, Pearson had an opportunity to meet with students from the Clarke County School District and metro Atlanta. Students gathered at the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication to hear from Early, then toured different parts of Grady such as the Virtual Environment Room and Gaming Experience (VERGE) lab and the Grady Newsource studio. They also heard from TEDxUGA students about how to use their ideas to transform the community before going to the Chapel to meet Pearson and hear her lecture.
In her address, Pearson noted that people need to truly listen in order to learn from one another.


(NewsMax.com) Billionaire Donald Trump is telling friends he has decided he will definitely run for president as a Republican.
Trump will make the announcement when his NBC show "The Apprentice" finishes the season in the spring, he is confiding. He has been soliciting recommendations on political advisers, focusing initially on the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary. Trump declined to comment.
According to a Newsmax/SurveyUSA poll conducted Nov. 3 and 4, in a head-to-head race between President Obama and Trump, the entrepreneur would get 47 percent of the vote, versus 53 percent for Obama.
Trump polled strongly among Republicans and conservatives. He got 50 percent of the votes of independents.
Understandably, many are skeptical that Trump would actually run. He has toyed with the idea before and is now at the pinnacle of his real estate career.
At his New Year's Eve party at Mar-a-Lago, his home and club in Palm Beach, he clearly was enjoying his celebrity, shmoozing with Regis Philbin and Rod Stewart in between dances with his stunning wife Melania.
But Trump has told friends he believes Obama is a "disaster." An advocate of a strong national security, he becomes livid when he talks about the decline of America compared with other countries like China.
Thanks for the warning. I'm fleeing for Canada.

At home I have PC with FBSD 8 Stable. Video card is ATI HD 5750. This card worked fine only with vesa driver. After release ATI driver 6.13.2 I tried this and get screen corruption. For me it was some progress because older version ati drivers (6.13.0. and 6.13.1) led to lockup at X start. These screen corruptions was resolved after mesa upgrade to version 7.8.2. Currently mesa version in ports is 7.4.4. So maybe there is benefit for upgrade mesa version in ports to latest. All whats need for upgrade mesa is just modify Makefiles. I am tested only this card (HD 5750) and dont know how latest mesa verison will work with another video cards.

[Updated] Quentin Tarantino's 'Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood' Eyeing Premiere at Cannes
by Haleigh Foutch March 19, 2019
Update: Per IndieWire, Cannes director Thierry Fremaux says, "[Tarantino]'s editing [and] working hard to be ready by Cannes!" And while the intention is to premiere at the festival, it's not a done deal yet.
25 years after taking home the Palme d'Ore, Quentin Tarantino is eyeing his return to the Croisette. No official announcement has been made, but THR reports that the filmmaker will debut his ninth film, Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood at the festival, and according to the report, it could premiere on May 21 — the exact anniversary of Pulp Fiction's premiere.
Of course, Tarantino is no stranger to Cannes, having screened a number of his films at the festival both in and out of competition, including Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill Vol. 2, and Death Proof. Tarantino's latest feature heads to Hollywood in the 1960s, where we meet Leonardo DiCaprio's as an aging Western star trying to find his place in a changing Hollywood landscape alongside his trusty stunt double, played by Brad Pitt. They also happen to live next door to actress Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), in the year of her tragic murder at the hands of the Manson Family cult. However, early reports said the film isn't focused on the Manson murders, but exploring 1969 Hollywood through a "tapestry–like" structure a la Pulp Fiction.
Image via Sony Pictures
Once Upon a Time in … Hollywood opens in theaters on July 26th and the cast also includes Al Pacino, Timothy Olyphant, Scoot McNairy, Damian Lewis, Luke Perry, Dakota Fanning, James Marsden, Clifton Collins, Keith Jefferson, Emile Hirsch, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Danny Strong, Sydney Sweeney, Clu Gulager, James Landry Hébert, Mikey Madison, Lena Dunham, Maya Hawke, and Nicholas Hammond, just to name a few.

Are there 8 types of pronoun in English grammar?
This is the first of three lessons about Pronouns. To complete this course, read each lesson carefully and then unlock and complete our materials to check your understanding.
– Review the concept of word types and word classes
– Explore the primary function of pronouns in English
– See examples of each of the eight types of pronoun
One of the easiest paths to mastering English grammar and vocabulary is to carefully learn the form and function of its various word types. While the benefits of studying adjectives, verbs and nouns may seem obvious as these categories are so large and common, a knowledge of pronouns is important too. This is particularly true if you're writing an academic essay as there are various rules which apply to the use of pronouns in that highly formal context.
To assist students, we've therefore created this short course to help those studying bachelor's and master's degrees develop a better understanding of the accurate use of pronouns. In Lesson 1, we outline the eight types of English pronoun before highlighting in Lesson 2 six helpful rules for their use in general-English settings. Finally, we focus on the importance of this word type in Lesson 3, after which you may wish to consider unlocking and completing our Lesson Worksheets which will check your progress and knowledge and improve your English proficiency.
What is a word type?
A word type, also known as a word class, is a way of categorising words based on their behaviour within the language. The most common of these categorisations are adjectives, adverbs, nouns, verbs and prepositions, though there are other categories too. These word types may possess subcategories, such as how articles and quantifiers are types of determiner, or how modal, auxiliary, phrasal and copula are categories of verb. As is exemplified below using 'after' and 'so', it's important to remember that words may move between type (from conjunction to preposition or adverb, for instance) when they perform different functions:
What makes pronouns unique?
Pronouns, then, such as 'she', 'everyone' and 'that', are a unique category of word because of the function they perform. This function is to replace nouns or noun phrases with a shorter referring expression. This can be seen in the examples below in which 'she' is the same as 'Dan's teacher Jane', in which 'everyone' stands in place of 'the students in the class' and in which 'that' is equitable with 'the teacher's pen'.
What these examples additionally highlight is that there are three ways in which pronouns may refer to expressions within a piece of discourse:
anaphoric reference: when the pronoun refers to a noun or noun phrase which was mentioned earlier in the text (i.e., 'she' refers back to 'Dan's teacher Jane')
exophoric reference: when the pronoun refers to a noun or noun phrase which is only mentioned outside of the text (i.e., 'everyone' refers to unspecified 'students in the class')
cataphoric reference: when the pronoun refers to a noun or noun phrase which is going to be mentioned later in the text (i.e., 'that' refers forwards to 'the teacher's pen')
There are eight types of pronoun in English. These are explored for you below in order of frequency within the language:
Type 1: Personal
Personal pronouns are a fairly complex class of pronoun which identify specific people, animals, objects or ideas. They are complex because they can change form to indicate a number of grammatical distinctions. They may, for instance, be singular or plural ('I' vs. 'we') or change form when used as the subject or object of an expression ('I gave it to him' vs. 'he gave it to me'). Personal pronouns may even indicate whether the noun phrase being referred to is male, female or inhuman/inanimate ('he' vs. 'she' vs. 'it').
Type 2: Indefinite
Where personal pronouns refer to someone or something specific, indefinite pronouns refer to unspecified things. These are words such as 'anyone', 'nobody' and 'few', as in the examples below:
Like personal pronouns, indefinite pronouns are few in number and include:
all, another, any, anybody, anyone, anything, each, either, everybody, everyone, everything, few, many, neither, nobody, none, one, several, some, somebody, someone, something
Type 3: Interrogative
Though interrogative pronouns are so few in number, they are so commonly used in English as to rank third on our list. The five interrogative pronouns are 'who', 'whom', 'whose', 'which' and 'what'. These pronouns are used to refer to people, animals, objects and concepts when forming questions:
Type 4: Possessive
Possessive pronouns are yet another small subcategory of pronoun that are used with some frequency. Words such as 'mine', 'yours', 'his', 'hers' and 'ours' indicate a possessor and possessed relationship between two items:
Type 5: Demonstrative
The four demonstrative pronouns 'this', 'these', 'that' and 'those' should not be confused with the similar category of demonstrative determiners. As the following examples show, pronouns replace noun phrases while determiners pre-modify them:
Type 6: Relative
With the addition of 'that', 'whichever', 'whoever' and 'whomever', relative pronouns otherwise look identical to the five interrogative pronouns. The main difference is that this category of pronoun introduces relative clauses rather than questions:
Type 7: Reflexive
Rarely used in written English are the nine reflexive pronouns such as 'himself'. These are used to demonstrate when something has caused an action upon itself. While it's easy to remember that each of these pronouns is formed by adding the suffix '-self' (singular) or '-selves' (plural) to a personal pronoun, as the following shows, students must keep in mind when using such pronouns that they may only refer to noun phrases which are within the same clause:
Type 8: Reciprocal
Reciprocal pronouns are similar to reflexive pronouns in the sense that both types must be used within the same clause as the noun phrase to which they refer. However, where reflexive pronouns demonstrate when someone or something has caused an action upon themselves, reciprocal pronouns are used to show when two people, animals or objects are experiencing the same thing. There are only two such expressions to learn in English, which are 'each other' and 'one another':
Where 'each other' is commonly used to show reciprocation between two items, 'one another' is prescriptively used for three or more people or things.
Great work on finishing Lesson 1 in this short course on pronouns. Continue studying with Lesson 2 to learn about the six rules which exist in general English.

El portaavions Kaga (japonès: 加賀; batejat així per l'antiga província de Kaga, avui part de la Prefectura d'Ishikawa) va ser un portaavions de la Marina Imperial Japonesa. Va participar en l'atac a Pearl Harbor i va ser enfonsat durant la batalla de Midway, el 4 de juny de 1942.

El Kaga va ser inicialment construït a partir del buc d'un cuirassat de la classe Tosa com un portaavions de 3 cobertes, disseny que també seguiria inicialment l'Akagi, però el 1936 va ser totalment remodelat, deixant una única coberta. A més, posseïa 5 canons de 200mm per banda, en el terç de popa, com a reminiscència del seu passat com a cuirassat, però molt propers a la línia de flotació, la qual cosa els feia perdre eficàcia (sobretot amb mar grossa). Estava dotat d'una poderosa artilleria antiaèria, que demostrà la seva capacitat defensiva en la primera fase de la batalla de Midway.

Com a característiques a destacar, posseïa una alta superestructura amb una coberta suspesa a proa i popa a una alçada considerable. La xemeneia, situada al centre de la banda d'estribord (gairebé a l'alçada de coberta i inclinada cap al mar) desviava els fums de la coberta per a facilitar les operacions aèries,i comptava amb un enginyós sistema que bombejava aigua de mar cap al seu interior. El vapor resultant impedia que el fum fos molt fosc o espès i en reduïa la temperatura per a major seguretat dels aviadors, que no es trobaven un inesperat corrent d'aire calent. El problema principal d'aquest sistema era que comportava una gran corrosió. El pont estava ubicat a estribord, i era bastant petit en relació a la mida del navili.

El 19 de febrer de 1942 participà en bombardeig de Darwin, a Austràlia. El 5 de juny de 1942, durant la segona fase de la batalla de Midway, el Kaga va ser sorprès pels bombarders en picat del USS Yorktown; va ser tocat per 4 bombes de 500 kg, una de les quals explotà a popa, al costat de la coberta de vol, arrencant part del buc i de les plataformes d'artilleria antiaeria i llençant-les al mar amb els seus servidors (descobertes al juliol del 2005 a 5.000m de fondària).

Una altra de les bombes va explotar al pont, matant al capità Jisaku Okada amb tots els oficials i servidors del pont de comandament. Les bombes van arribar als hangars, on hi havia els avions disposats per llançar un nou bombardeig contra la flota americana, amb la qual cosa els incendis i les explosions es van multiplicar. El Kaga s'enfonsà hores després per l'efecte de les innumerables explosions i incendis.

Jeremy Childs and Gretchen Wenner, Ventura County Star Published 10:12 p.m. PT April 5, 2019 | Updated 1:59 p.m. PT April 6, 2019
A man who allegedly underpaid for a can of beer before brawling with a store clerk was arrested Friday night in Ventura, authorities said.
The incident took place around 9:40 p.m. at the Asian American Market at 1007 E. Santa Clara St., the Ventura Police Department reported. The location is at the northeast corner with Laurel Street, south of Main Street.
A store clerk told officers a man had come in and selected a can of beer from the cooler before coming to the counter. The man reportedly asked how much the beer cost, then argued with the clerk after hearing the price, according to police. He allegedly took a $1 bill from his pocket and put it on the counter, then left the store, officials said. The money did not cover the full cost of the beer.

The clerk followed the man, identified as 23-year-old James Cobb, outside and confronted him regarding the rest of the money, authorities said.
Cobb allegedly attacked the clerk, police said, and the two started fighting in the street. Cobb ultimately broke away and threw the beer can at the clerk, authorities said. He then ran south on Kalorama Street and went into a home.
Officers determined which home Cobb ran into and contacted him at the front door. He cooperated and was arrested without incident on suspicion of a felony robbery offense, authorities said. He remained in Ventura County jail Saturday morning with bail set at $150,000, jail records showed.
No injuries were reported, officials said.

Woman charged with retail theft
Published 12:00 am CST, Tuesday, February 25, 2014
An Alton woman was charged Tuesday in Madison County Circuit Court with a felony charge of burglary, according to Madison County Sheriff Robert J. Hertz.
A release from the Madison County Sheriff's Office identified the woman charged as Cheryl A. Ballinger, 56, of Bostwick Street.
According to the release, on Monday, Feb. 24 at approximately 11:05 a.m., the Madison County Sheriff's Office responded to Wal-Mart, 6660 Godfrey Road, Godfrey in reference to a retail theft.
A Wal-Mart Loss Prevention Officer told the responding deputy that Cheryl A. Ballinger was detained for retail theft after an employee witnessed her attempting to steal multiple cans of baby formula. The loss prevention officer told the deputy that Ballinger also stole multiple cans of baby formula from the business on Feb. 13 and 19. The suspect was able to avoid apprehension on the two prior incidents, but the loss prevention staff was aware of the offenses and was watching for her to return.
Deputies took custody of Ballinger and found her to be in possession of approximately $259 of unpaid merchandise from the business. In the two previous thefts, Ballinger stole more than $382 in baby formula. Ballinger was transported to the Madison County Jail where she was held pending a formal review of facts by the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.
Ballinger's bond was set at $60,000.00. Ballinger qualified for the enhanced felony burglary charge due to the fact she entered the business with the sole intent of committing a theft.

Major General Cecil Wotton Toovey CB, CBE, MC & Bar (17 April 1891 – 23 February 1954) was a senior British Indian Army officer who commanded the North Western Army, India during the Second World War.

Military career
Toovey was educated at Malvern College and commissioned as a second lieutenant into the 9th Battalion, Middlesex Regiment from the Inns of Court Officers Training Corps on 3 May 1913. He served with his regiment during the early part of the First World War before transferring to the Indian Army in 1917, where he was attached to the 82nd Punjabis. He was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for organising and leading a counterattack when in command of his battalion in 1919 on the North West Frontier.

After attending the Staff College, Quetta from 1924 to 1925, he was awarded a bar to his MC for gallantry during operations on the North West Frontier during 1930–31. He was appointed Commanding Officer (CO) of the 3rd Battalion, 1st Punjab Regiment in January 1937 then Assistant Adjutant-General at GHQ India in April 1939.

As the Christian church grew larger and more powerful with each century, abuses of power inevitably set in. Chief among them were the sale of indulgences and the restriction of the Bible to Greek and Latin that most Christians could not read. Indeed, the whole superstructure of the church, with its hierarchy of popes, cardinals, bishops, and priests required to mediate the faithful's relationship with God had become oppressive. Prior to the 16th century, a number of visionaries attempted to initiate reforms, but without much success. The Italian preacher Savonarola (1452-98) cleansed Florence of some of its worst abuses of church and state power for a time, but he was hanged and burned by the citizens of Florence for his efforts.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) had been an Augustinian monk, an ordained priest, and a doctor of theology at the University of Wittenberg in Germany when a passage in Paul's Epistle to the Romans convinced him that forgiveness of sins could come only from the grace of God, and salvation, or justification, from faith in God rather than from sacramental works or indulgences. This idea of a direct relationship with the Deity became one of the cornerstones of the Protestant Reformation, which he set in motion when he nailed his famous 95 Theses ("On the Power of Indulgences") to the door of Castle Church in Wittenberg in 1517. Like Luther, Jean Calvin in France developed the concept of justification by faith alone, with no reliance on the church to healp you earn your way to salvation. This belief is still at the core of mainline Protestantism as well as many unaffiliated Evangelical sects.
Luther intended only to open debate on the subject of indulgences, but when the pope summoned him to Rome to defend himself against charges of heresy, he chose to stay in Germany and call for a general reform of the Church. Luther advocated the abolition of priestly celibacy, monastic vows, fasting, masses and religious holidays, and the sale of indulgences. The pope officially excommunicated Luther in 1521, setting in motion a chain of events that led to the rise of Protestant sects.
At the heart of the Protestant reform was a return to the simplicity of the early Christians, following the New Testament rather than the interpretations of those texts by Church Fathers like Augustine and Aquinas, or the popes and their councils.


Food and service have been part of Renae Connolly's life for as long as she can remember. Growing up in Fresno, California, her love of food started at a young age. By the age of five, she was selling food from her family's food truck at local fairs and learning her grandmother's secrets for Armenian cooking.
In high school, Renae took on a dishwashing job at a local bakery and quickly moved up the ranks to become an assistant baker. Quickly realizing her love for pastry, she enrolled in the California Culinary Academy and graduated by the time she was 19. In Fresno, Renae worked as the pastry chef at The Chef's Table for two years before moving across the country to Boston. She spent the next year as the assistant to pastry chef Rick Billings at Clio. When Billings left in 2008, she was promoted to pastry chef, a position she held until 2011. While at Clio, Renae was invited to attend a workshop at the Valrhona chocolate company in France, enabling her to fine tune her skills and reignite her passion for chocolate work.
An opportunity to work with the David Burke group took Renae to New York City, where she later worked at Marea and Aretsky's Patroon. Two years later, Renae returned to Clio in Boston where she switched gears and moved behind the bar in order to explore the techniques of the bartending world.
While living in Cambridge, Renae spent many off days at a small local Italian restaurant named Giulia. Eventually, she and Chef Michael Pagliarini began to talk about teaming up for a new project of his: Benedetto. In the fall of 2016 Benedetto opened inside the Charles Hotel in Harvard Square. As the restaurant grew and flourished in its first year, Renae was recognized as the 2017 Boston Magazine's Best pastry chef and a 2018 James Beard semi-finalist.

Quality King Distributors Inc. v. L'anza Research International Inc., 523 U.S. 135 (1998), was a decision by the United States Supreme Court over whether a copyright holder could restrict redistribution of material containing copyrighted  content (authorized by the copyright holder) which is imported into the United States as so-called "grey market" goods.

Opinion of the Court
The Supreme Court found that the copyright holder could not prevent re-importation of the products it had authorized for export from the United States.

This case did not address the importation of products made outside the United States under authority of the copyright holder.  The Court addressed that issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 568 U.S. 519 (2013), holding that those sales were also qualifying "first sales", and that copyright holders could not restrict trafficking of those works after those sales.

Women's History Month in the United States can be traced back to a week-long celebration of women's contributions to culture, history, and society. Organized by the school district of Sonoma, California in 1978, President Jimmy Carter was the first to issue a proclamation declaring the week of March 8 as National Women's History Week. In 1987, after being petitioned by the National Women's History Project, Congress passed Pub. L. 100-9, which designated March of that year as Women's History Month. Over the next 5 years, Congress passed additional resolutions requesting and authorizing the President to proclaim March of each year as Women's History Month. Since 1995 Presidents Clinton, Bush and Obama have each issued a series of annual proclamations designating the month of March as Women's History Month.

Notes on the future of development from CSIS
Policy Perspectives
Debate Drivers
Russian Sanctions, Tajik Remittances, and Chinese Investment
November 18, 2014 November 18, 2014 / ProsperCSIS
By Michael Jacobs
While the situation in Ukraine and its effect on the Russian and European economies have been the subject of countless news stories and op-eds for several months, the implications for the former soviet countries in Central Asia have largely been ignored. One of these countries in particular, Tajikistan, may face the most severe and direct consequences of a Russian economic slow-down. This outcome looks increasingly likely as falling oil prices amplify the negative impact of economic sanctions in energy-dependent Russia.
Tajikistan, however much it may depend on the Russian economy now, isn't waiting around to find out what would happen if the Russian economy falters. Tajikistan recently accepted an offer of $6 billion in new investments from China over the next 3 years, which is part of a larger Chinese push into Central Asia. China may use this investment to build oil refineries and has already built numerous cement factories in Tajikistan in recent years as Chinese workers have contributed to a construction boom in Tajikistan's capital, Dushanbe. These cement factories have also led to some speculation that in the future China may look to fund the completion of the controversial Rogun Dam, which began construction in 1976 and saw work suspended in 2012. The graphs below illustrate Tajikistan's dependence on Russia as well as the magnitude of China's recent investments. As a note, comparisons with China's investment assume $2 billion are invested each year ($6 billion total investment divided evenly over 3 years).
1. Tajikistan is the Most Remittance-Dependent Country in the World
In Tajikistan, 47.5% of GDP comes from remittances. For comparison, another Central Asian former Soviet Republic, Kyrgyzstan, is the second most remittance-dependent country in the world, with 30.8% of GDP from remittances, making Tajikistan the remittance leader by a large margin when measured as a percent of GDP. Almost all of the remittances in Tajikistan come from Russia, since 90% of Tajik migrant workers are in Russia. Taken together, this means that Tajikistan is in the unique position that nearly half of its GDP is directly dependent Russian economic activity.
2. China's investment won't replace Russian remittances, but it softens the blow
Tajikistan received $4.1 billion of remittances in 2013. If we treat China's proposed investment as an investment of $2 billion per year over 3 years, this investment is equivalent to just under half of Tajikistan's substantial annual remittance flows. China's investment, then, should provide a fairly substantial cushion against a drop in remittance flows due to possible economic difficulty in Russia. That being said, remittances are generally funneled to different sources than large-scale FDI. While overall economic activity is supported by Chinese investment, it remains to be seen how individual household incomes will be affected by this change.
3. Tajikistan is failing to attract international investment beyond China
Tajikistan attracts FDI at an anemic rate. When compared with Tajikistan's total FDI inflows in 2013, China's new investment there looks massive. Again, China's $6 billion investment divided evenly over 3 years gives us an annual investment of $2 billion, equivalent to about 19 times annual FDI, which was $108 million in 2013. With FDI inflows making up just 1.3% of GDP in 2013, Tajikistan ranks 139th in the world for FDI as a percentage of GDP. While the Chinese investment may help prevent short term economic crisis in Tajikistan, clearly the country needs to address deeper issues affecting its ability to attract investment and drive domestic growth.
China is using its massive resources to help keep the Tajik economy on its feet at a critical juncture. One million Tajiks work abroad in Russia, equivalent to an eighth of the country's total population (8.2 million people) and comprising half of all working age males. Given the magnitude of the Tajik migrant worker demographic, there are valid fears about what might happen should a slow-down in the Russian economy occur and a large chunk of unemployed migrants return home. That being said, a "youth bulge" can also be an economic blessing, if put to work. The Government of Tajikistan is trying to avoid any such destabilizing effect, and China is willing to help in achieving this goal while simultaneously buying significant sway in the Central Asian region- to the detriment of Russia's influence there.
