Skipping from one island to the next has left the centenary edition of the Giro d'Italia to play out the first exchanges between the general classification contenders upon the Sicilian slopes of Mount Etna. An extremely tough summit finish for the race's fourth stage will come as a shock to the system for many, charging headlong into a 181km trip from Cefalú to Etna, built entirely around the ascent of Portella Femmina Morta and the volcanic finale itself. The peloton are afforded almost 60km to get their legs back into motion after the preceding rest day, and they shall need it once they ride onto the opening slopes of the Category 2 Portella Femmina Morta. Lasting a soul destroying 32.8 km would be enough for many to simply climb off their bike upon its average gradient of 4.5% (max. 8%), but combined with the subsequent rise to Etna, this is one of the worst stages for anyone to experience a bad day in the saddle. The Category 1 climb to Etna's summit lasts 17.9km and averages 6.6%, but the constant fluctuation of gradients is what will make it so hard for the riders to find a rhythm more than anything else, while the steepest slopes max out around 12%. With the GC riders keeping close tabs on one another, it might be the chance for the breakaway to take the glory, but the prestige of winning this stage in the 100th edition of the Giro d'Italia may prove an irresistible honour for some of the race's biggest names.
Vincenzo Nibali has long been gifted the moniker of The Shark of Messina, his hometown being placed just over an hour away from today's summit finish and a rare chance for Nibali to take the maglia rosa on his native island of Sicily. Though it may not prove a wise tactical move in regards to the entire three week contest, riders share a great love for winning races or stages close to home and it is that which marks Nibali out as a threat today. With weather forecasts predicting relatively strong winds once again, it could prove tough for the Italian rider to break free of his GC rivals, let alone the fact he has shown little to inspire beyond his Tour of Croatia win so far this year. Regardless, this is a huge opportunity for Nibali to take glory on his doorstep and a strong headwind compacting the peloton may just allow his prowess with decisive last gasp attacks to secure Stage 4.
Thibaut Pinot enjoyed a successful time at the recent Giro del Trentino and has convincing form when it comes to winning major climbing stages such as this. His greatest weapon on Stage 4, where the wind may negate attacks for the most part of the day, is his surprisingly strong sprinting ability compared to those expected to finish alongside him. Though he has improved a great deal in time trials, there is no doubt he shall be fearing the loss of time in the two mid to long distance TTs which feature in this year's race, making the chance to gain an early advantage here clearly appealing if possible.
Ilnur Zakarin had to endure his dose of bad luck during the opening three days of the race and will now hope nothing but good fortune remains between himself and the last day in Milano. Having already conceded 20 seconds, the Russian rider will be allowed a greater degree of freedom than had been originally anticipated on Stage 4, offering him the chance to regain lost time and take the maglia rosa. His explosive approach to racing stages like this looks ideal, able to open up gaps rapidly with his strong acceleration and also one of the fastest sprinters likely to be present in a lead group on Etna.
Geraint Thomas is fully aware that he needs to capture time over his rival Nairo Quintana at every opportunity possible in order to head into the two crucial time trials able to put time into the Colombian, rather than having to recoup it himself. The Welshman's showing at the Giro del Trentino looks to be a firm foundation to be entering this grand tour upon and he is not afraid of attacking late in a stage to secure crucial seconds if able to. He should not be dropped by his rivals on the day's climbs, but whether he is able to distance them is much harder to forecast, especially given the complex team tactics within Sky's incredibly strong rosta of climbers at the race.
Nairo Quintana seeks to tackle the Giro – Tour double in 2017, so will be wanting to keep his powder dry for as long as possible during these early stages of the race, hoping to deal his damage in the final week to Milano. The Colombian will be entering the contest with the intention of riding himself into his best condition, making attacks as early as Stage 4 seem unlikely, though it will certainly be a tough ask to dislodge him in order to gain time from the pre-race favourite.
Other riders who all show potential for taking the win from either the day's breakaway or a late solo move are Adam Yates, Omar Fraile, Mikel Landa, Pierre Rolland, Hugh Carthy and Kenny Elissonde.
La Vuelta a España once again looks to the team time trial to raise the curtain on they season's final grand tour. An immensely testing and technical discipline, this 27.8km route from Ourense to Parque Nautico de Castrelo de Miño will prove a rude awakening for many in the peloton with only a handful of teams likely to relish this arduous opening to the race. The road rises immediately from the start, but soon becomes a more manageable rolling profile which will quicken the pace in the first half, before then offering up wide roads that shall prove ideal for laying down a huge wattage all the way to the line. A day for those who can generate and sustain large power outputs, this team time trial will be an extremely fast introduction to the next three weeks of life at La Vuelta a España.
Movistar have become one of the most consistent performers in this discipline, combining engine power with technical skill to great effect. Like the majority of teams at this year's race, the composition of the squad leans strongly towards climbers, but Movistar look to have the strength required to perform competitively on today's course. Though Jonathan Castroviejo is the only true specialist present for them, the likes of Alejandro Valverde, Nairo Quintana and Rory Sutherland are all capable of putting in a performance to match him in this short challenge.
Sky may not have their ideal set of riders available for the opening day's team time trial, but they shall remain motivated to secure a good performance in this highly pressurised discipline. Though they have riders competent in a time trial such as Chris Froome and Michal Kwiatkowski, there will be concerns that the gulf in ability to the likes of Ian Boswell and Michal Golas is greater than that of other team's rosters in contention on Stage 1.
BMC are the reigning world champions in this specialist exercise and will hope this foundation propels them onwards to success by the end of the first day. Unlike many here, their strength appears to stem from a lack of any true time trialist within their ranks, thus calling upon them to function efficiently as a whole team which does not expect one or two riders to carry the greatest load. It will be interesting to see how this approach performs in comparison to the likes of Movistar or Sky and their greater number of true TT riders.
Others who could all challenge for a podium place are former world champions Etixx-QuickStep, Tinkoff and Orica-BikeExchange.
Instead of providing us with drama drip by drip throughout this grand tour, yesterday's stage felt as if the Giro d'Italia had decided to serve up everything in one go; crashes, abandonments, a maglia rosa lost and a champion resurrected. Ilnur Zakarin left the race with a broken collarbone, while Steve Kruijswijk lost possession of the pink jersey after crashing into a snow bank and now appears set to abandon having sustained a fractured rib. Today is the final day in the mountains and thus the last chance for a rider to win this race with one last gasp attack when it counts most. The short 134km stage from Guillestre is sure to be explosive, taking in three Category 1 ascents, then finishing upon a Category 3 climb all the way up to the finish line at Sant'Anna di Vinadio. The general classification now sees its top four riders all within two minutes of one another and only the processional ride into Torino is left beyond today; the fuse is lit here and it wont be long until the Alps echo with a bang.
Vincenzo Nibali has once again revived a grand tour campaign from the brink of demise with one fantastic day in the saddle. The Italian champion dropped all of his rivals on Stage 19 and is now within touching distance of placing the pink jersey upon his shoulders with the last arduous mountain trial before Torino. Much of Nibali's potential success today will be dependent upon another strong performance from his Astana teammates, who on this crucial stage, are anticipated to make life hell early on. The plan will be to isolate Esteban Chaves by dispatching his limited Orica-GreenEDGE support before the battle for the maglia rosa has even really started. Nibali's performances in the third week of a grand tour have often been unrivalled and it certainly looked that way again, Chaves unable to follow him in the final moments of yesterday's stage. The finale itself suits his Colombian rival neatly and Chaves will focus upon riding defensively throughout the day in order to conserve energy, so Nibali will need to have recovered well from yesterday's efforts in order to gain enough time to take the pink jersey; do not forget the ten second time bonus for the stage winner too.
Esteban Chaves came the closest we have seen to truly blowing up at this year's Giro d'Italia, but maintained a steady enough pace to come home third and take the leader's jersey with one final test remaining. As mentioned previously, Chaves is likely to become isolated very early on here as Astana whittle down his support as soon as possible. Due to being race leader though, Chaves needs only to follow the attacks of the day; easier said than done. Should he approach the line alongside the likes of Nibali, he may just edge out the Italian on a finale which suits him well.
Alejandro Valverde has been unable to stick the pace of the true overall contenders for the Giro title, but will be confident of sealing another podium place at a grand tour by the end of Stage 20. The Movistar leader even has a chance of another stage win if he makes it to the line within the lead group; the uphill run being the ideal terrain for Valverde's turn of pace.
Mikel Nieve finished second yesterday after pacing his final ascent very well indeed, his performance also sets him up well as the lead protagonist in today's sub-plot; the mountains classification. It seems certain that Nieve will join the breakaway and aim to sweep up the large amount of points on offer throughout the stage to take the maglia azzura on the last day in the Alps. Current leader Damiano Cunego will need to follow Nieve or use teammates to try and protect his lead in the competition, but his chances look slim after a poor showing yesterday suggested he may have finally cracked.
Two breakaway candidates who have still yet to secure an elusive win are Joe Dombrowski and Darwin Atapuma. Both have shown they have the form to do so, yet have been unlucky to not make the grade, especially Atapuma on Stage 14. With today's stage their final opportunity to steal a win from the general classification riders, it is likely both men will be in the day's move.
Yesterday proved to be a more tame affair than anticipated for the general classification contenders, instead they were pleased to allow the day's breakaway to acquire a lengthy lead and decide the stage's outcome from within their ranks. Having kept their powder dry yesterday, today's first of two stages in the Alps should see life at the front of the general classification animated once again in 2016's Giro d'Italia. Stage 19 comprises a 162km trip from Pinerolo to Risoul, spending the majority of time creeping upwards for around 80km, ultimately concluding with the 12.8km ascent to Risoul.
Steven Kruijswijk appears to have cemented himself as the strongest climber in this race after all attempts so far from his rivals have failed to crack him. Though he may not be directly pursuing this stage as a target for victory, the impetus of other general classification focused teams is likely to reel in the breakaway late on and may inadvertently set the Dutchman up for victory. The climb to Risoul is relatively consistent throughout its ascent and should subsequently play to the strengths of the Dutchman; marking him out as the most likely GC rider to win here.
Esteban Chaves is still relatively unconfirmed in regards to surviving the concluding week of a grand tour, but is certainly one of the best climbers here on paper at least. It looks like it will take a perfectly timed and potent attack to finally drop Kruijswijk, so his chances of a stage win are more realistic if he sits back within the lead general classification group and aim to beat the rest in an uphill dash.
Ilnur Zakarin looks to be gaining strength as the race enters its final decisive moments and could well be in search of an opportunity to gain time on his rivals and step up to the podium. The Russian's chances of succeeding here increase the longer we have to wait for action from the overall contenders, Zakarin likely to come unstuck if the tempo increases too early on the final climb. Should the action remain limited until the final few kilometres however, Zakarin will be one of the favourites to take time and possibly a stage win.
Darwin Atapuma will be aware that a good performance on Stage 19 will place him firmly in the mix to win the mountains classification jersey at this year's Giro d'Italia. His performance upon the queen stage deserved the win, but he was robbed by Esteban Chaves and his fellow escapees in the final kilometres. With a showing such as that already in the bag, there is no doubt that Atapuma could go the whole way today and win.
Sky are still searching hard for another victory and are likely to turn to the likes of Nicloas Roche and David Lopez. Both have demonstrated encouraging signs in the last few days, be it sticking with the GC frontrunners or turning in solid breakaway efforts, thus marking them out as clear contenders. It may also be worth keeping an eye upon Philip Deignan, the Irishman has been anonymous up to now and subsequently makes him a very difficult rider to assess, but his ability to climb should be enough to keep him in the mind of Sky.
Giovanni Visconti saved his efforts yesterday and is thus likely to have an eye upon a good performance here in an attempt to make gains in the mountains classification; much like Atapuma. If he is totally focused upon accumulating points, then it is likely he will be out of contention for the stage win as a result of doing his utmost to be first over the Colle Dell'Agnello. Should events develop in a manner which see him part of a lead group deciding the win, then Visconti's sprinting ability could be enough to better most rivals.
For further breakaway contenders; Tanel Kangert, Ian Boswell, Joe Dombrowski, Blel Kadri, Giulio Ciccone, Rubén Plaza and Amets Txurruka could all play a part.
The breakaway caused a huge shock yesterday after an acute lack of coherent chasing during the final kilometres ultimately conceded the day's outcome by the sprinters, primarily due to a single well timed attack from Roger Kluge after the final corner. Today's stage will be a manic affair once again, a long flat opening set to provoke rolling attacks from riders desperate to make it into the day's breakaway, but it is the finale which causes the most interest. The 240km route from Muggió to Pinerolo features little in the way of challenges for the most part, but the climb of Pramartino will demand an immense effort to surge over its near 20% gradients and could instigate attacks from amongst the general classification rivals.
Giovanni Visconti is likely to take centre stage for Movistar on Stage 18, as though the finale does suit Alejandro Valverde, the Spanish outfit will look to limit their team's efforts in regards to chasing ahead of further stresses in the mountains. Visconti is in good form thus far at this year's Giro d'Italia and possesses the required skills to perform convincingly here; climbing, descending and sprinting better that many favourites to make the break today.
Tanel Kangert can definitely feature late on here if he manages to join the right move early on, potentially picking up a rare win at this year's Giro for Astana. The Estonian rider is certainly strong enough to power over the Pramartino climb, though it shall take an immense effort during the early part of the day to join the decisive move.
Gianluca Brambilla has already enjoyed a successful Giro d'Italia when taking a stage victory and thus wore the maglia rosa for a short time. The Italian is likely to have seen his powers diminish somewhat, though at this point of the race few remain in the condition they entered in, but this stage is very well suited to his attributes. Like many here, the ability to perform well on the Pramartino climb is only half of the equation, as the lighter climbers like Brambilla still face the tough task of joining the day's move amid a hectic start.
Nicolas Roche is likely to pick up the mantle of saving Sky's Giro today, the Irishman being plenty strong enough to survive the fast paced opening section, while also having enough to survive the final climb in a position which should keep him in contention. Roche can also deliver a good sprint when required, but this is a well known fact, so he might find it difficult to acquire riders willing to join him out front all day.
A raft of riders are likely to invest the utmost in featuring in Stage 18's battle for stage honours; Tim Wellens, Jelle Vanendert, Georg Preidler, Francesco Bongiorno, Diego Ullisi and Moreno Moser all potentially making the day's moves.
Beyond the victor, the most interesting aspect of today is how the general classification riders will tackle the ascent up the steep Pramartino climb. Blessed with the title of 'The Shark of Messina', Nibali should know plenty about tasting blood, but on this occasion it is his rivals who sense that he himself is wounded. The result of this might be a concerted effort by both Esteban Chaves and Ilnur Zakarin to bury the Italian champion with a single well timed attack upon the steepest ramps of Pramartino. Alongside this, Alejandro Valverde may view this as an opportunity worth investing his efforts into, attempting to see Steven Kruijswijk crack for the first time. Regardless of who instigates it, the general belief is that Nibali will suffer the greatest if all hell breaks loose here; Astana will need to be well prepared.

Haleburg is located in southeastern Henry County in the southeastern corner of the state just west of the Chattahoochee River. It has a mayor/city council form of government. Negro League veteran and Major League Baseball Hall of Fame player and executive Monte Irvin was born in Haleburg in 1919.
Haleburg Mural
The Haleburg area was first settled during the late 1810s. It was named for Jonathan Hale, an early settler, although some sources give his name as Hales. The first school was located on the Sutton plantation, about a mile east of Haleburg; it also was called Walnut Grove. As it grew, Haleburg attracted a number of settlers and merchants, a sawmill, a cotton gin, and a turpentine distillery. The town was incorporated in 1910 as Halesburg; it is unclear when the "s" was dropped and the town became Haleburg. It was reincorporated in 1911.
According to 2016 Census estimates, Haleburg recorded a population of 119. Of that number, 94.1 percent of respondents identified themselves as white and 5.9 percent as African American. The town's median household income was $56,000, and the per capita income was $24,890.

Our money is on Bill Clinton working in the background to torpedo Obama's bid for the White House – we don't harbor any illusions of the Clintons, especially Bill, being team players. Bill Clinton sabotaged Al Gore's bid by not vigorously campaigning for him and when John Kerry needed him, he was nowhere to be found.
The display of unity today and the charitable words that both Senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton had for each other today is an encouraging development for the Democrats' prospects of ending Republican incompetence in November.
Much work still needs to be done. And while Senator Clinton said all the right things, who knows what machinations her devious husband Bill Clinton is up to.
The former president has yet to endorse Senator Obama and did not make an appearance in the town of Unity, N.H., where the former rivals met today.
Word is that Bill Clinton is taking his wife's defeat even harder than Hillary herself. Yet his silence can only suggest two things. He has a few big dirty tricks left up his sleeves.
Either Clinton will somehow work his magic to ensure that Senator Obama loses in November so his wife has another shot, since the aged John McCain, at best, would be a one-term president, or he is still holding out for a VP spot on Obama's ticket for his wife.
So, even if Clinton were to be offered the VP spot, there is no knowing what Bill Clinton and his acolytes would do in the background. Would they work hard for an Obama victory? This is highly debatable, since there is always the possibility that he would be a two-termer, meaning Hillary Clinton would be over 68 before she get another shot at the White House.
These are the kind of machinations that Obama and his advisers must be pondering even as the two candidates now make joint appearances and smile and share generous words.
Our money is on Bill Clinton working in the background to torpedo Obama's bid for the White House – we don't harbor any illusions of the Clintons, especially Bill, being team players.
To create the political environment for his wife's run, Bill Clinton sabotaged Al Gore's bid by not vigorously campaigning for him and when John Kerry needed him, he was nowhere to be found. Two disastrous George Bush terms now have the country craving for a Democrat. Naturally Bill Clinton believed and may still believe that Democrat is his wife.
Bill Clinton must have made a solemn promise to reward his wife with the White House after his great betrayal with the "affair." Nothing that's transpired convinces us that his determination to deliver has changed.
Does he know of or is he even involved in working on a bombshell revelation that he still hopes will derail Obama and force the Democratic gatekeepers to turn to his wife? What a dramatic and glorious moment that would be for the Clintons.
Bill Clinton has again spoken very loudly, with his silence, and with his failure to endorse Senator Obama.
So, Bill Clinton – and possibly Hillary— must be regarded as a political opponent in the same way that McCain is seen.

The Promise Of Grutter: Diverse Interactions At The University Of Michigan Law School, Meera E. Deo
In Grutter v. Bollinger, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld affirmative action at the University of Michigan Law School on the grounds of educational diversity. Yet the Court's assumption that admitting diverse students into law school would result in improved race relations, livelier classroom conversations, and better professional outcomes for students has never been empirically tested. This Article relies on survey and focus group data collected at the University of Michigan Lav School campus itself in March 2010 to examine not only whether, but how diversity affects learning. The data indicate both that there are sufficient numbers of students ...

Affirmative Action & Negative Action: How Jian Li's Case Can Benefit Asian Americans, Adrian Liu
In October 2006, Asian American student Jian D filed a civil rights complaint against Princeton University claiming that Princeton's affirmative action policies were discriminatory. Li argues that affirmative action gives preferences to non-Asian minorities at the expense of Asian students. Li's case aligns the interests of Asian Americans with Whites who challenge affirmative action and suggests that such policies are inherently discriminatory because they exclude students based on race and sacrifice merit. This Article argues that Li's exclusion is not due to affirmative action but is likely due to "negative action," the unfavorable treatment of Asian Americans ...

Challenging The Bounds Of Education Litigation: Castaneda V. Regents And Daniel V. California, Alan E. Schoenfeld
This Note argues that by combining the normative suasion of educational finance litigation with the political imperatives manifested in affirmative action law and practice, those who seek to improve the quality of secondary education and expand access to higher education would likely effect greater change than they would working independently. Under the appropriate political and legal circumstances, access to public higher education ought to be treated as something akin to a fundamental right, the unequal distribution of which constitutes a violation of equal protection for students of color and for economically disadvantaged students.

A General Theory Of Cultural Diversity, Steven A. Ramirez
This Article seeks to extend the analysis of these developments in the corporate world to anti-discrimination law under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This Article will show that discrimination based upon cultural insights or experiences is distinct from race discrimination and will articulate a general theory of why and under what circumstances this holds true. The difference between culture-based discrimination and using culture as a proxy for race (Which would then be race discrimination) requires a careful and non-mythological understanding of what race is, and what race is not. Moreover, showing that culture discrimination is not prohibited ...

This Essay will focus on "racial profiling" not just in the way many people think about the term-that is, with respect to stopping motorists for traffic violations based solely on their race, so-called "Driving While Mexican" or "Driving While Black"-but also in the context of "affirmative action"-namely, using race as a factor in employment and educational decisions. More broadly, then, the author wants us to think of "racial profiling" as simply "the use of race to develop an understanding of an individual," which moves us slightly away from more pejorative notions of the phrase that have seeped into ...

The Evolution Of Race In The Law: The Supreme Court Moves From Approving Internment Of Japanese Americans To Disapproving Affirmative Ation For African Americans, Reggie Oh, Frank Wu
As the Court suggests, the Korematsu precedent is crucial to the Adarand decision. In Adarand, the Court analyzes Korematsu in depth, acknowledging that its own judgment had been mistaken in the internment cases, instead of simply citing the decisions as it formally had done until the very recent past. The Court nevertheless fails to appreciate the differences between Korematsu and Adarand, and in particular the consequences of using "strict scrutiny" for all racial classifications. This essay explores the complex relation-ship between Korematsu and Adarand, and offers a critique of the reasoning used in both cases. The essay argues that Adarand ...


The action of IgG antibody on basophils was studied during hyposensitization therapy in bronchial asthmatics. IgE and IgG antibodies bound to the surface of basophils, and the redistribution of IgE receptors were observed by immuno-scanning electron microscopy. The ratio of IgG to IgE antibodies bound to basophils increased significantly during hyposensitization therapy (p<0.01). The occurrence of cap and patch formations of IgE receptors on the surface of basophils diminished during hyposensitization therapy. The effects on the passive sensitization of basophils with IgG(4) myeloma protein were also studied in vitro. The results showed that the ratio of IgG(4) to IgE antibodies on the cell increased, and binding of anti-IgE antibody significantly diminished (p<0.01). The percent of reactive basophils decreased when anti-IgE antiserum was added. These findings indicate that IgG(4) antibodies affect the binding between IgE antibody and anti-IgE or antigens on the surface of basophils as a blocking antibody in hyposensitization therapy.

An advanced digital and musicological Album of the 12 Grandes Etudes by Franz Liszt, according to the original real performance annotations by the composer himself: a masterpiece in its incomparable beauty, with an amazing piano homage to Liszt.
12 Grandes Etudes S137/R2a (1837, for piano).
He has recorded music by Brahms (Haydn Variations) and by Bettinelli for RSI, Italian Swiss Radio.
The Franz Liszt's 12 Grandes Etudes S137/R2a (1837) represent the piano technique at its unprecedented maximum level of difficulty. Liszt himself reached here the virtuoso "culmen" of his own piano technique, still nowadays without comparison. In no other piano piece Liszt achieved such a "beyond the physical limits" technique.
The music by Franz Liszt, and especially this collection of studies, is always very difficult to be performed both technically and artistically, due to the gorgeous and marvellous musical ideas encased in a highly intricate technical structure often beyond the limits of the instruments themselves or of the human physical capabilities.
So often the musical performance becomes a sort of compromise: more art less technique or less art more technique, losing so the intrinsec richness of this music, where art and astonishing technique are the two equal pillars of the purity of the musical expression.
The difficulties of Franz Liszt's music have been always matter of discussion for scholars, performers, conductors, composers and musicologists: Schumann saw them (1837 version) as inaccessible in their difficulty; Saint-Saens wrote that Paganini remained in an unapproachable sphere where he alone could live, while Liszt, moving from the same level of difficulty, deigned to descend to those inhabited regions, where everyone, who wants to study seriously, can follow him; Ferruccio Busoni himself (one of greatest virtuosi of all time) wrote that the Grande Etude No. 10 (1837) presents almost insurmountable difficulties; Horowitz called "Feux Follets" the most difficult étude ever written and Sir Georg Solti noted that even the orchestral works by Liszt have many peculiar difficulties and are so particularly demanding when considering the symphonic performance.
Here the compromise: the difficulties are an obstacle to the clear and satisfactory exposition of the musical ideas and to the limpid phrasing, melodies remain opaque amidst a cascade of notes, indistinguishable and almost incomprehensible. This way we sometimes lose the great music of the "easier" Transcendental Etudes and, especially, of the Grandes Etudes, hidden behind the curtain of a complicated structure.
The Grande Etude No. 4 is certainly the most evident case. The required speed to make the melody clear with a real legato (Liszt writes "tenuto e ben marcato il canto") is so fast that it is almost impossible for a man to perform the music as Liszt wanted it to be performed.
With the musical technique used to perform music with this CD, it is possible for the first time, nearly two hundred years after Liszt, to listen to the Grandes Etudes with the right speed requested by Liszt himself, who wanted the astonishing beauty of his musical ideas to fully express itself through an exciting vortical speed.
When preparing the notes for an accurate and philological interpretation of the Grandes Etudes (1837), I respected the absolutely new and bizarre Liszt's prescriptions about the use of rubato, dynamics and expression.
In the Grandes Etudes Liszt used in fact a series of particular graphic signs, which point out an interesting link between rubato time and musical expression. These minute and precise signs (not present in 1851 Transcendental Etudes) are very useful to better understand how Liszt himself played his compositions.
If the Grande Etude No. 4 and the Grande Etude No. 10 are perhaps the most difficult ones, the Grande Etude No.8 is the very centre of the Grandes Etudes cycle, with its grand and symmetric monumental form.
The Grande Etude No. 1 is a very short impetuous Prelude (it is very similar to the version of Transcendental Etudes).
The Grande Etude No. 2 is a splendid Capriccio, with an exciting Paganini style. It is musically very different from the piece No.2 of Transcendental Etudes and it is much more difficult.
The Grande Etude No. 3, a tender and soft barcarola, has a virtuoso section "Presto agitato assai", not in the Paysage of Transcendental Etudes.
The Grande Etude No. 4 is the culmination of the grand technical fantasy of Franz Liszt. The initial mighty theme is almost technically impossible: the right speed is well beyond the human limits and the final sections are vigorous and colourful like fireworks,... but for the fingers. The first repeat of the main theme is beautiful and recalls the orchestral Symphonic Poem Mazeppa.
While the No. 4 is a challenge for the human resistance and co-ordination, the Grande Etude No. 5 is simply a more difficult version of Feux follets (and Feux follets, the "easier version", is often called the nightmare of piano players).
The first page of Grande Etude No. 6 is a terrific étude for the left hand only (Vision, the Transcendental Etudes version, is similar but the player can use both hands).
Grande Etude No. 7 is more difficult and is also deeply musically different from the Transcendental Etudes version, "Eroica", and it has even an entire section, the nice "Più animato ancora", then deleted by Liszt in the 1851 version.
A comparison between the initial theme of Grande Etude No. 8 and that of Wild Jagd shows the main difference between Grandes Etudes and Transcendental Etudes: in the first cycle Liszt's music is grand, gigantic and overflowing, in the second cycle concise, compact and succinct.
The Grandes Etudes writing shows also that the 1837 pianos needed a different way of notation to obtain certain effects, i.e. FFF, because the 1851 pianos had a different sound and resonance.
The Grande Etude No. 9 in fact sounds like the Transcendental Etude No. 9 Ricordanza, but actually there are many differences in writing: great and difficult chords of the Grande Etude have been transformed into a simple melodic line in the Transcendental Etude.
The Grande Etude No. 10 perhaps collects the hardest piano difficulties of all time in one piece only.
Jumps, speed, acrobatics and techniques for a large hand only (an amazing hand span of eleven notes is at least physically required to play certain passages with confidence and agility) are the bearing vaults of one of most beautiful and exciting pieces ever written for piano. A terrific "Presto feroce" precedes the marvellous finale.
The Grande Etude No. 11 reveals some impressionistic painting atmospheres and explores new effects in timbre.
The Grande Etude No. 12 has two recitativo parts in perfect Liszt style and it is an exciting and whirling étude in tremolo effects, with a splendid melody.
Prism Variations on a Fragment of the Grande Etude No. 8 by Liszt (10 March 2012, for piano).
The Prism variations on a fragment of the Grande Etude No. 8 by Franz Liszt by Simone Jennarelli are developed, using two main themes and following the principles of Prismatic Music.
Such principles, developed by me through the years, leads to a sophisticated elaboration of harmonies and melodies: the enunciated themes are conducted this way, through prismatic refractions, to the full conquest of their potentialities.
A single light, when refracted by an iridescent prism, now reveals his hidden essence. Now do the musical themes, refracted by the prismatic elaboration, colourfully shine in their shimmering beauty.
The relations between melody and harmony is dynamic and flowing, gradually changing through shading variations.
The first theme is a fragment from the impetuous initial theme of the Grande Etude No. 8 by Liszt.
I have chosen this fragment because it is the very symbol of the conceptual difference between Grandes Etudes and Transcendental Etudes.
The second theme, sweet and mysterious, is actually derived from the same Liszt's theme, but it sounds so different that it's very difficult to determine its origin.
The whole formal development is based on the contrast between them at the very beginning of the piece, amidst an uninterrupted interweaving of musical metamorphoses.
In the last section, an homage to Franz Liszt is paid through a grand and epic transformation of the main theme. The great virtuoso passages for piano are themselves an homage to the revolutionary technique inventions of the composer of the Grandes Etudes 1837.
This CD has been recorded by Porticodoro/SmartCgArt Media Productions with the most advanced digital performing techniques available in the Music Industry.
A long awaited album for 12 Grandes Etudes finally available!
This album is an extraordinary event! This is a long long long awaited album by all who do love Franz Liszt's music: finally it is possible to listen to the extra-difficult virtuoso 12 Grandes Etudes 1837 by Franz Liszt in all their original radiant and virtuoso beauty, performed at the real right speed and respecting all the detailed performance notes left by Liszt himself! The famous impossible Etudes S.137, the original complicated form of the famous Transcendental Etudes, a later (written in 1851, nearly 20 years later) 'simplification' of these studies for the common pianists who were not Franz Liszt! A real musicological event and a 'must have' reference for all Classical Music serious people! The Prism Variations by Simone Jennarelli are a perfect complement to the work by F. Liszt, both in piano playing virtuosity (they are really difficult to perform for a pianist!) and in kaleidoscopic beauty: a new path in contemporary music is now open!

China's Modus Operandi
Child criminality can be reduced and reversed
Nov 09, 2008 Letters
The article "Child criminals on the increase," featured in Kaieteur News of Sunday, 2nd November, 2008, made for quite disturbing reading.
Indeed, Guyana's child criminal phenomenon is a very worrying one. At 11, it is questionable whether a child's sense of right and wrong is sufficiently developed to enable that child to adopt the right role as defined by the good society.
The observation that "the age of criminals appears to be getting lower and lower" is a sad reflection of society as a whole. As with so many areas, the backdrop is change.
The statistics are well known. The proportion of single-parent families and of children under the supervision of one parent only (usually a working mother) has gone up steadily.
The number of children living, more or less, alone has also risen. Even in the absence of accurate, up-to-date family statistics, it is reasonable to assume that in present day Guyana only a minority of children are brought up in a 'traditional' context, where father and mother are married and/or are living in the same household as their biological children.
As a consequence, the influence of a father is usually absent from this basic institution of civil society. One must, however, give recognition to the fact that, given adequate resources, single parents are able to bring up children just as satisfactorily as couples can.
The fact that we have, as your article states, a teenage "gang that hides out on Sussex Street near Saffon Street in the nights," presumably engaged in petty crime and hooliganism, highlights this absence of effective parental supervision and control.
Without the continuous guiding influence of a father/father figure, a strong united family household, or a powerful matriarchal environment, some young boys tend to go astray, seeking out the companionship, camaraderie and approval of their peers.
And as dysfunctional one-parent families proliferate, so, too, will child or teenage gangs. Our ministry responsible for social services and, by association, the family need to organise more research into this phenomenon and into the nature and mores of the non-traditional Guyanese family.
Nevertheless, we know from study groups in foreign countries with a similar problem that joining a gang has a lot to do with the symbolic expression of masculinity. Guyana is no different, even if this expression of masculinity has become somewhat exaggerated and abhorrent.
There are many reasons why this expression of masculinity has become deformed and has evolved into an unacceptable (to the good society) machismo.
Not least among these is the advent of ' dance-hall' culture, which almost glorifies violent behaviour, gangsterism, and disrespect for women while embracing visible material accumulation by any means necessary as its answer to ' s— jobs' and 'slave wages'.
Secondly, it is a culture that devalues women and reduces their role in society to that of a supine plaything for the male gender to indulge itself.
Once this gender-based, rebellious male attitude takes hold, single parent mothers tend to lose control of their male children.
This usually happens between the ages of 10 and 13. Peer pressure then takes over, and, in the absence of any countervailing ideology or moral influence, these children can become delinquent.
In Guyana, the problem of child criminals is further complicated by political innuendo, prejudice and propaganda. Some politicians, as well as jaundiced analysts and social commentators, insist on putting an ethnic spin on the problem.
This tendency finds its way into our race-based political culture and practice.
It plays on fears and ethnic insecurity, and is used to divide and polarize whole communities.
Stereotypes have emerged, and once this ethnic perception of a child criminal type becomes embedded in the nation's psyche, the deviant children to whom the stereotype is applied begin to feel that criminality is their niche and what society expects of them.
Despite the grim nature of the child criminal phenomenon, there are corrective actions that can be taken to bridle and, hopefully, reverse the trend, while stopping the descent into a life of hardened crime for those 11-year-olds who are already offenders.
Such action must begin with, and be guided by, an in-depth study of juvenile criminality and its causes. The Social Services Sector Parliamentary Committee can make this happen.
What might help, subject to the findings of critical analysis, is the creation of structures aimed at embedding deviant juveniles in social relations that can act as a constraint on criminality. To this end, mentoring programmes need to be widened and institutionalised.
Government needs to establish more localized recreational centres and sport facilities. Imaginative ways have to be found not only to fund these facilities, but also to staff and maintain them.
Literacy programmes should be expanded and intensified, with special emphasis on inner-city areas. In this regard, the PNCR, with its limited resources, should be commended for its sterling efforts, particularly in Sophia. In order to promote early apprenticeships as an integral part of skills training for young school leavers, Government should introduce an incentive system for companies willing to participate and craftsmen willing to impart their skills and craft to pre-teens and teenagers.
Serious consideration needs to be given to the establishment of a Voluntary National Youth Service (VNYS) which would train young people in the arts, craft and a wide range of marketable skills. In the VNYS, literacy and health education should be compulsory for all youth.
Those who enroll in the VNYS would be paid a modest monthly allowance based on attendance, punctuality and assessed behaviour/attitude.
Fatherlessness, according to a world view, is the most harmful demographic trend of this generation. It is also the engine driving our most urgent social problems, from child crime to adolescent pregnancy, to child sexual abuse to domestic violence against women.
Though we are dealing with profound processes of change in everyday life, some undesirable trends are well within our capacity to reduce and reverse. I believe that, given the political will, child criminality can be one of them.

A Pulsating Neon Skeleton by Tavares Strachan Honors Scientist Rosalind Franklin

What Will Be Remembered in the Face of All That is Forgotten is a sculptural neon work by the New York City-based artist Tavares Strachan made between 2014-2015. The five-foot-tall piece includes pulsating neon that mimics the racing of blood through veins, stainless steel to hold the skeleton in place, and a total of seven transformers. The flashing circulatory system is a glowing reminder of English scientist Rosalind Franklin's contributions to the field of science, mainly the discovery of DNA's molecular structures. The work was originally included in the solo exhibition Seeing is Forgetting the Thing that You Saw at Anthony Meier Fine Arts in San Francisco, which examined individuals whose names have been omitted from common accounts of history despite their great accomplishments.
Strachan, in partnership with LACMA Art + Technology Lab and SpaceX, also recently launched a sculpture honoring Robert Henry Lawrence Jr., the first African-American to train as an astronaut with NASA. Although Lawrence never made it into space, a 24-karat gold urn with his bust titled "Enoch" will orbit the Earth for seven years in a sun-synchronous orbit.

Go Behind the Scenes to Watch How Heather Dewey-Hagborg Creates Portraits with Found DNA
Christopher Jobson
Just a few weeks ago we covered the amazing 3D-printed portraits created by artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg, who uses genetic clues from found DNA to determine an estimation of what that person might look like. In this short documentary filmed by TED's Kari Mulholland, we learn a lot more about what goes on behind the scenes as Dewey-Hagborg utilizes the facilities at Genspace in New York to create each of her DNA portraits.

Stranger Visions: DNA Collected from Found Objects Used to Create 3D Portraits
You're walking down a street in Brooklyn, gnawing on a piece of gum that's past the point of flavorful.. In a hurry, you spit it on the ground without a second thought and continue about your day. Hours later, a mysterious woman arrives, surreptitiously collecting the sticky gum from the sidewalk and dropping it into a clear plastic bag which she then carefully labels. Flash forward a month later: you're walking through an art gallery, and there, mounted on the wall, is a familiar face staring back at you. Astonishingly (or terrifyingly), it's a 3D print of your face generated from the DNA you left behind on that random piece of gum that now appears in a petri dish just below the portrait. A few years ago this would have seemed like science fiction, the stuff of films like Gattaca, but to information artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg, it's how she makes her artwork here in 2013.
They say inspiration can strike anywhere. For Dewey-Hagborg, it happened in a therapy session. While staring at a framed print on the wall, she fixated on a tiny crack in the glass into which a small hair had become lodged. As her mind wandered, she imagined who this seemingly insignificant hair belonged to, and, more specifically, what they might look like. After that day, she became keenly aware of the genetic trail left by every person in their daily life, and began to question what physical characteristics could be identified through the DNA left behind on a piece of gum or cigarette butt.
Sample Location 6. January 6, 2013 at 12:25pm; Wilson ave. and Stanhope St. Brooklyn, NY; MtDNA Haplogroup: D1 (Native American, South American); SRY Gene: present; Gender: Male; HERC2 Gene: AA; Eye Color: Brown
Stranger Visions is the result of her fascinating, if slightly disconcerting, line of questioning and experimentation: 3D printed portraits based on DNA samples taken from objects found on the streets of Brooklyn. Dewey-Hagborg worked with a DIY biology lab called Genspace, where she met a number of biologists who taught her everything she now knows about molecular biology and DNA. Via an interview with the artist:
So I extract the DNA in the lab and then I amplify certain regions of it using a technique called PCR – Polymerase Chain Reaction. This allows me to study certain regions of the genome that tend to vary person to person, what are called SNPs or Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms.
I send the results of my PCR reactions off to a lab for sequencing and what I get back are basically text files filled with sequences of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs, the nucleotides that compose DNA. I align these using a bioinformatics program and determine what allele is present for a particular SNP on each sample.
Then I feed this information into a custom computer program I wrote which takes all these values which code for physical genetic traits and parameterizes a 3d model of a face to represent them. For example gender, ancestry, eye color, hair color, freckles, lighter or darker skin, and certain facial features like nose width and distance between eyes are some of the features I am in the process of studying.
I add some finishing touches to the model in 3d software and then export it for printing on a 3d printer. I use a Zcorp printer which prints in full color using a powder type material, kind of like sand and glue.
The resulting portraits are bizarre approximations of anonymous people who unknowingly left their genetic material on a random city street. So how accurate are the faces created from this genetic experiment? The artist likes to say they have a "family resemblance" and no, unlike the scenario depicted above, a person has never recognized themselves in any of her exhibitions. Yet. There are some things such as age which are virtually impossible to determine from DNA alone, so Dewey-Hagborg casts each portrait as if the person were around 25 years old.

It has been almost 2 years since Rose Gold Pearl Ex was introduced. At the time, there was no off the shelf rose gold ink options for calligraphers and other artists. Personally, I was mixing a dab of Opera Rose gouache with Dr. Ph. Martin's Copperplate Gold to create a rose gold color...but I wanted something consistent. Rose Gold Pearl Ex was created in my kitchen, and I have been super proud to see it being used all over the world, by calligraphers, clay sculptors, manicure artists, and so many others.
Here we are, it is mid-2017 and the calligraphic arts are in the midst of a revival, and along with that comes new supplies and resources...just last weekend I found Dr. Ph. Martin's Iridescent Inks, Speedball oblique holders, nibs, and Higgins Eternal at my local brick and mortar Michael's (whuuuut?!! wow!). Use a Michael's 40% off coupon and you got yourself a nice deal on supplies! We now have another rose gold ink option, in the form of Fine-Tec pan shimmer watercolors. Add water, apply to your nib with a brush, and voila...rose gold prettiness!
I am asked almost every week how the Fine Tec rose gold compares to the Pearl Ex version (besides the obvious solid pan vs. powder form, and the need to add binder). I had not tried the Fine Tec version, until today, because the truth is, I have enough rose gold Pearl Ex to last me a lifetime! I also have plenty of what I call the Booster colors (Brilliant Gold, Super Copper, Super Bronze) to adjust the color to whatever I need to match it to. I also add rose gold Pearl Ex to Dr. Ph. Martin's Copperplate Gold and Dr. Ph. Martin's Spectralite Liquid Acrylic 54k 18k gold. I also add a touch to walnut ink for my own personal use. So I really didn't NEED another rose gold option. (Along with a recent home move, came a massive Kon Mari of my supplies pre-move and a renewed minimalist supply cabinet post-move - only purchase supplies for billable projects...practice with walnut ink and HP Premium Choice laser paper). With my last order from John Neal Books, I added 2 pans of Fine Tec Rose Gold so that I can finally answer this popular question.
The Fine Tec rose gold is very pretty, really very soft and subtle. It reminds me of Bobbi Brown Sandwash Pink lip color. Like all the Fine Tec paints, it flows super smooth from a nib and produces a wonderful shimmer. By comparison, the Pearl Ex version is a more saturated rose color. To me, they are both beautiful...I mean, you can't go wrong with either...rose, gold, and shimmer...it's all pretty!
Fine Tec also has a color called "Rose", which I quite like as well. It's straight up pink shimmer. And then there is Pearl Ex Pink Gold, which is my all time favorite. I love the Duo Tone nature of Pink Gold, it flashes gold or pink depending on the angle, so pretty!
Do you prefer to brush on or dip your nib? (I totally dissolve the Fine Tec in water so that I can dip, just pop it out of the pan, place the tab in a sealable container, add water, and allow to dissolve).
What are you matching the rose gold to? Do you need to adjust the color (you bet I dissolved a Fine Tec rose gold tab and then added some Pearl Ex Super Bronze to change the color).
Are you just looking for something pretty to practice with?
Are you budget conscience? A pan of Fine Tec is about $5, and jar of Pearl Ex is about the same price, but you need to add in the cost of gum arabic as well.
A rose gold is a rose gold is a rose...as long as it is pretty and you like the result and can comfortably work with it, both Pearl Ex rose gold and Fine Tec rose gold are beautiful options to have in your ink cabinet.

Wife Of HS Football Coach Charged With Tampering With Players' Grades
(photo courtesy of the Antioch Police)
A teacher at an Illinois high school who police allege illegally gained access to students' grades and subsequently changed them has been identified as the wife of the school's head football coach.
Sara Glashagel, 27, a special education teacher at Antioch (Ill.) Community High and wife of head football coach Brian Glashagel, was charged with tampering with computer records after she allegedly obtained an administrative password and improved the grades of 64 students, including 40 who happened to be football players. She faces up to one year in jail and a $2,500 fine. At this point in the investigation, Brian Glashagel has not been charged in connection with the allegations.
According to a Chicago Tribune report (via Prep Rally), the investigation was prompted by a colleague of Sara Glashagel who first noticed the alteration to a student's grade. Antioch police allege that a grade was first changed on Sept. 15 and subsequent grades were altered via a computer outside the school's network on Sept. 17, 18, 20 and 21. The IP address of the alleged computer where officials believe the changes were made on was then forwarded to Antioch police who obtained a subpoena to identify the owner of said computer.
Antioch police Chief Craig Somerville reported the findings that came back implicated Sara Glashagel. Sommerville added that while most of the students were football players, he suspects the changes to other students' grades were to throw authorities off the scent, saying, "Our understanding is that some changes were made to make it less obvious, so it wasn't football players only," Somerville said.
Head football coach Brian Glashagel admits that the charges against his wife have shocked him (via the Daily Herald):
"I was absolutely blindsided by this," he said the day after his wife was charged with a single count of computer tampering by the Antioch Police Department. "I had no idea who was involved up until three days ago.
"I am assuring everyone beyond my word that I had no knowledge of this taking place in the past," he said. "I have offered to police to take a polygraph, and I am still offering that up today.
"The administrators of Antioch are handling the situation internally, and I am trying to help out the school district any way I can," he said.
In the end, the high school will not likely face any punishment for the scandal, as no academically ineligible students took the field and participated in a game as a result of the grade-tampering and all grades that were changed have been corrected.

Xiaomi apologizes after removing users who helped with MIUI tests
Cassian Paul August 18, 2021 3 min read
Update (08/18/2021) – PM
As we said before, Xiaomi has angered many of its fans due to the expulsion of some members – Including long-time participants – From the internal testing program of the proprietary interface MIUI.
They discovered that they had been disconnected from the software with the release of the Xiaomi Community 3.0 app, which brought a new interface and a dedicated page for the development team.
As a result, the Chinese way of dealing with internal tests has changed – Users started gaining weekly quests that had to be completed within a specific deadline.
Among them, for example, sending suggestions and comments, among others, and if the tester does not participate, he will be dismissed from the program.
The first removal of participants began on Monday (17) at 0:00, when several testers received notice of their expulsion from the testing program.
The news soon followed many complaints and uprisings, after all, some senior members of the community were among those who lost their right to access the MIUI test suites.
Yesterday an executive at Xiaomi Posted on Weibo Apology – According to the post, the company has received feedback from several people in different channels, and the issue is under discussion with the MIUI team.
They are currently discussing a solution to the problem and believe that a satisfactory answer will be provided soon. In the free translation, we can read something like:
We have received feedback through various channels, sorry Xiaomi caused problems, I conveyed the main concerns to the Xiaomi community and the MIUI team. They are currently arguing and I think they will give a reasonable answer.
Original Article (08/17/2021)
Xiaomi causes outrage after 'ignoring' users who helped with MIUI tests
this week Some Mi fans were very upset When they learned that they were, for no reason, "expelled" from MIUI's internal test suite in China, even after they had completed all weekly project tasks.
See also What will the world be like when everyone is in metaverse? - link
The statement was made on Monday (16) surprising everyone, informing them that they had not completed their assignments and were therefore disqualified.
The testers who, by the way, collaborated for free to improve the MIUI experience, were very annoyed, for good reason, especially because they did not receive a good reason to kick them out.
Some collaborators have been involved in projects for years and are suddenly left out – All the rebellion and complaints, though, haven't even released an official statement from the brand.
Speaking of MIUI, the company publicly apologize With its users having had problems using the latest stable version, 12.5.
Recently, Xiaomi has made official new products, such as Mi MIX 4 and Mi Pad 5 and 5 Pro, as well as the enhanced version of MIUI 12.5 (improved version), which is supposed to arrive in the first books on August 27.
MIUI 13 development will require a lot of work
With so many issues and no improvement in MIUI 12, Xiaomi will have a lot of work to do in developing the next version of its interface. So maybe it wasn't a good idea to kick out those who helped improve performance in the current version of MIUI.
The fact is that many complain that the Chinese stopped giving too much importance to MIUI and ended up "uninstalling" the interface, which was previously more optimized.
Xiaomi cannot forget that software also plays an important role in the public's interest in hardware. We will be watching the next steps taken by the Chinese giant and hopefully it will learn from its mistakes and appreciate those who actively contribute to its growth.

Q: Fork() new process and write to files for child and parent processes I'm new to fork(), parent and child processes and have some difficulty understanding the logic behind the code that I wrote, but did not perform what I expected. Here is what I have:
 int main (int argc, char** argv)
 {
     FILE *fp_parent;
     FILE *fp_child;

     fp_parent = fopen ("parent.out","w");
     fp_child = fopen ("child.out","w");

     int test_pid;
     printf ("GET HERE\n");

     fprintf (fp_parent,"Begin\n"); // MY CONCERN

     for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) //for simplicity, just fork 1 process.
     {                          // but i want to fork more processes later
        test_pid = fork();
        if(test_pid < 0)
        {
          printf ("ERROR fork\n");
          exit (0);
        }
        else if(test_pid == 0) // CHILD
        {
          fprintf(fp_child,"child\n");
          break;
        }
        else //PARENT
        {
          fprintf(fp_parent,"parent\n");
        }
     }
     fclose(fp_parent);
     fclose(fp_child);
 }

So the output of above code is:
 to stdout: GET HERE

 in parent.out:

 Begin

 parent

 Begin

 in child.out:

 child

My main concern is that I don't quite understand why "Begin" get written to parent.out twice. If I remove the for loop completely, then only one "Begin" is written which is expected.
So I think that it's because of the fork() and definitely I miss or don't understand some logic behind it. Could you guys please help me explain?
My plan to be able to write something before the for loop in parent.out and write something during the for loop in parent.out. Child process will write to child.out.

A: In C, the input/output operations using FILE structure are buffered at the level of user process. In your case, the output you have written to fp_parent was not actually written onto the disk and was kept in a local buffer at the moment of fork. The fork creates a copy of the whole process including the buffer containing Begin and this is why it appears twice in your file. Try to put fflush(fp_parent); before the fork. This will flush the buffer and the dirty line will disappear from the file.

Q: How to get desired format from ArrayList import java.net.UnknownHostException;
import java.text.DecimalFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

public class Test {
    final static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(Test.class);
    private static DecimalFormat decimal_inpoints = new DecimalFormat("0.00");

    public static void main(String args[]) throws UnknownHostException,
            ParseException {

        ArrayList<Integer> array_list = new ArrayList<Integer>();

        array_list.add(1);
        array_list.add(0);

        String joinedString = array_list.toString();

        System.out.println(joinedString);

    }

}

How can i get output as  1,0
When i used array_list.toString(); its giving putput as [1,0] (array added )
Could you please tell me How to get 1,0 instead of [1,0]

A: Using Apache Commons Lang:
String join = StringUtils.join(joinList, ",");

Using Java 8
String joined = String.join(",", list);

Using Google Guava (Joiner)
Joiner joiner = Joiner.on(",");
String join = joiner.join(joinList);

Using StringBuilder
StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder(array_list.size());
boolean isFirst = true;
for (int i : array_list){
  if (isFirst) {
    builder.append(i);
    isFirst = false;
  } else {
    builder.append(", " + i);
  }
}
System.out.println(builder.toString());

A: simpliest way is;
array_list.toString().replace("[","").replace("]","");

A: In Java 8 you can do it with the joining Collector:
    String joinedString = list.stream()
            .map(Object::toString)
            .collect(Collectors.joining(", "));

A: When using Java 8. See here.
private toStringNoBrackets(ArrayList MyList) {
    return String.join(",", MyList);
}

A: You can create your own class and override the toString method.
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MyIntegerArrayList extends ArrayList<Integer>
{
    @Override
    public String toString(){
        return super.toString().replace("[","").replace("]","");
    }
}

MyIntegerArrayList myIntegerArrayList = new MyIntegerArrayList();
myIntegerArrayList.add(0);
myIntegerArrayList.add(1);
myIntegerArrayList.toString();

A: Use StringJoiner:
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.StringJoiner;

public class SOPlayground {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        List<Integer> array_list = new ArrayList<>();
        array_list.add(1);
        array_list.add(0);

        StringJoiner sj = new StringJoiner(", ");
        array_list.stream().forEach((i) -> {
            sj.add(i.toString());
        });
        System.out.println(sj.toString());
    }

}

Output:
1, 0

Akeredolu: Amotekun Has Made Ondo Most Peaceful State In Nigeria
Governor Oluwarotimi Akeredolu of Ondo State has described the birth of the Amotekun Corps in the state as timely, stressing that the move has made the state to be adjudged the most peaceful state in the country.
According to the governor, no state can be termed as healthy if the security of lives and property of the citizens is prioritised.
While emphasising that one of the parameters to measure a healthiness of a state is it security situation, Akeredolu said the Amotekun Corps has performed creditably well.
The governor stated this on Tuesday at the Annual General Prayer Meeting with public servants for the first working day in the year 2022, held at the Governor's Office premises, Akure, the state capital.
While commending other security agencies in the state for their efforts at sustaining peace in the state, he said Amotekun Corps was been put in place to complement their efforts.
"We salute the military, police, Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps and other paramilitary agencies for their efforts in sustaining the peace in our State. Let me reiterate for the umpteenth time that the Amotekun Corps has been put in place to complement their efforts.
"It goes without saying that the successes and comportment of the Corps have demonstrated that the State Government had made no mistake in setting it up. It has equally helped to take several of our employable youths off the unemployment market."
