Q: how to use alsa snd-aloop with gstreamer? the general goal is that i want to play an audio track on my RPi with aplay ("aplay example.mp3") and the output audio gets looped back into an gstreamer program. This program then does a spectrum analysis.
I got the spectrum analysis already working on a static file with this code as source:
data.source = gst_element_factory_make ("uridecodebin", "source");
g_object_set (data.source, "uri", "file:///home/pi/example.mp3", NULL);

ofc i want to use the overall output from my RPi as a source for the program but i dont know how. I know i need to loopback the audio from the output to the input and i found that snd-aloop looks promising. Problem is i still dont know how to use it. I tried to do:
data.source = gst_element_factory_make ("alsasrc", "source");
  g_object_set(data.source, "device", XXX ,NULL);
where XXX =

*

*"alsa_output.platform-snd_aloop.0.analog-stereo.monitor"

*"hw:1"

*"hw:0"

Error -> Trying to dispose element sink, but it is in READY instead of the NULL state. You need to explicitly set Elements to the NULL state before dropping the final reference [...]
Bonus question: Is it possible to pipe audio into a gstreamer program? something like: "aplay example.mp3 > gstreamerCprogram".
Here is the code:
#include <gst/gst.h>

#define AUDIOFREQ 32000

/* Structure to contain all our information, so we can pass it to callbacks */
typedef struct _CustomData {
  GstElement *pipeline;

            for(i = 0; i < 20; ++i){

                if(freq > 10000){

If only New York will do, you probably wonder where to live. There are many options, from the UES to the UWS and everywhere else in between, so you are probably considered the area first. However, youll also want to consider the building, because co-ops and condos are the norm in those areas. If youre looking for a house, NYC probably isnt the place for you. However, there are many benefits to living in a condo on the Upper East Side, which can make your decision a little easier.
If you want to become a New Yorker quickly, the best thing to do is immerse yourself in their culture. While they are still Americans and still humans, they have differences in their body language, voice, and sound. Learning more about whats available and learning in general, can help you and be entertaining, as well.
While most people dont notice design unless its pointed out to them, many people enjoy the look of a well-designed building. You could spend whole days out on the streets on the UES, gazing at all the beautiful buildings in the area, without getting bored or seeing the same thing twice. Therefore, it could be a way to meet the neighborhood and be entertained.
Parents have to consider their location even more carefully because they want their children to go to a well-renowned school. The Upper East Side offers various private and public schools for children of all ages. Whether you want something that is ivy-league or only want your kids to get a high-quality education, youre likely to find it in New York.
While some people refuse to go out to eat because it isnt healthy, some people want to enjoy themselves now and then. Whether you wish to take someone special on a first date or want to try something new, youll find many available choices. It can be a good thing to let loose once or twice a week and have someone else do all the work.
People with pets or families may feel discouraged because many condos dont allow pets and frown upon children. However, the UES is starting to become a familial hotspot because of all the fun and exciting, family-friendly events and places to go. Whether or not you have children or pets, a condo on the UES could be an excellent choice for you. For more information visit Carnegie Park Condominium.

Millennials are finding that they are priced out of the real estate market. Also, the areas that often most appeal to young adults are also the ones where homeownership is the most out of reach.
Millennials have been priced out of some of the biggest U.S. cities, with residential real estate prices rising even as wages stagnate. The good news is that out of 50 metropolitan areas, 37 are actually affordable for the typical 18-34 year-old. Real estate markets that millennials may find to be the most affordable include Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.
On the West Coast the disparity between income and real estate prices are the most extreme. In San Francisco, San Jose (the heart of Silicon Valley), and Los Angeles the typical young adult doesn't even make half of what's needed to afford a home.
That makes places such as New York, where millennials have an earnings gap of just ,550, seem relatively affordable. But remember that New York's metropolitan statistical region includes places that are outside of the high-priced housing market in and around Manhattan.
Almost 80 percent of New York's millennials reside in three counties: New York County, Queens County and Kings County, where Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn respectively are located. Using the average median home value for those three boroughs (49,596) and the 2015 estimated earnings for millennials living there (9,193), the affordability gap comes out to a whopping 2,262.
Furthermore, Bloomberg's calculations assume that millennials have already saved up the 20 percent they'd need for a down payment, which is a problem in itself. Families where the head of household was under 35 years old had a median net worth of 0,400 in 2013, according to the Federal Reserve's Survey of Consumer Finances.
This translates into millennials living in unaffordable markets will be forced to shell out money for ever-increasing rents, instead of building equity.

Back to school, back to the pool! Swimming lessons resume for pupils
In Blackpool
Posted on Monday 22nd March 2021
Pupils from 16 Blackpool schools were welcomed back into the pool in early March, with the Active Blackpool team overseeing the safe return of swimming lessons.
In line with the gradual easing of COVID restrictions, school swimming lessons were able to resume for all pupils returning to face-to-face learning from 8 March. Schools without their own pool are permitted to travel to use external facilities for swimming lessons.
Throughout the course of the pandemic, Active Blackpool has remained in regular contact with Swim England to ensure that the team remains fully briefed on the latest guidance, expertise and safety protocols, part of a process which has seen staff attend a number of Continuing Professional Development training courses.
Cllr Maria Kirkland, Blackpool Council's Cabinet Member for Community Cohesion and Leisure (with responsibility for PE and school sports), said:
"The Active Blackpool team has been so excited to begin delivering swimming lessons once again.
"Everyone is aware of how the pandemic has impacted classroom learning, but it's also easy to forget that school may provide the only chance for many children to learn how to swim – we're extremely conscious of how many pupils have not had that opportunity over the past year.
"Whilst it's vital that children learn how to be safe in the water, it's also important that we offer an outlet for them to have fun and enjoy themselves after what has been such a difficult time. The team has put together a range of engaging lessons which will help children to develop a love for swimming again.
"All of the lessons are taking the necessary precautions to operate safely and we look forward to welcoming more children back to the pool in the coming weeks."
The return to swimming pools follows the launch of the Swimming Teacher Recruitment Academy. Active Blackpool is participating in the programme, which offers those starting a career as a swimming teacher – or those looking for a change of profession – the chance to receive training of the highest level at a fraction of the usual cost.
Successful applicants who join the Recruitment Academy will complete their SEQ Level 1 Swimming Assistant (Teaching) course and Level 2 Teaching Swimming qualifications whilst being matched with Active Blackpool swimming teachers to gain practical poolside experience. Participants will also benefit from expert advice and support from a mentor. Further details about the Academy can be found on the Institute of Swimming website.
As the government's roadmap out of lockdown progresses, Active Blackpool hopes to be able to resume its Learn 2 Swim programme at Moor Park and Palatine sports centres from Monday 12 April, with sessions covering the likes of aquatic confidence, stamina training and water safety.
Anyone who would like their child to start swimming lessons can get in touch by emailing learn2swim@blackpool.gov.uk

FindTime has been doing a lot of work in this space over the last five years.
Instead of randomly saying whatever comes to mind when you're presenting, you craft a powerful message that will stay with the audience and compete with all the emails, time pressures, calls for their attention, problems and just life in general.
Consider this link (it's sourced from YouTube so forgive some of the popups on it. They are not FindTime's. It's just this is the clearest audio quality clip we've found).
It's from a film in the 1980's called 'Wall Street'. Perhaps you've seen it. It has a very young Michael Douglas pitching his message to a group of shareholders.
The point is, in just over four minutes this presentation uses no less than TEN key elements of a great sales presentation. And that's just at first glance.
The point is, if you have an important sales presentation coming up OR you have one in place already that you want to refine/upgrade/tweak, then use out presentation skills coaching.
It's fast, effective, time saving and the right presentation makes you money. The wrong one costs you money…every day.

Q: Slow regex compilation on Windows 2008 r2 This is a duplicate of Regex slow on Windows Server 2008, but since the accepted answer is not an actual answer, but a workaround, I'm re-asking the question.
The following code:
var complex = @"^(([^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@""]+"
    + @"(\.[^<>()[\]\\.,;:\s@""]+)*)|("".+""))@"
    + @"((\[[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}\.[0-9]{1,3}"
    + @"\.[0-9]{1,3}\])|(([a-zA-Z\-0-9]+\.)+"
    + @"[a-zA-Z]{2,}))$";
var x = Stopwatch.StartNew();
var b = false;
for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
    Regex r = new Regex(complex, RegexOptions.Compiled | RegexOptions.IgnoreCase);
    b = b || r.IsMatch("abc");
}
Console.WriteLine((Environment.Is64BitProcess ? "64-bit: " : "32-bit: ") + x.ElapsedMilliseconds);

runs in:

*

*5 seconds when run in 32-bit on my desktop

*13 seconds when run in 64-bit on my desktop

*5 seconds when run in 32-bit on my windows 2008 r2 server

*130 seconds !? when run in 64-bit on my windows 2008 r2 server

This is using .net 4.5.1 on both the desktop and windows 2008 r2 server. This makes no sense to me. What in the world can cause such a slow down on the windows 2008 server? And how can I make it run as fast as my desktop in 64-bit.

Weight is a function of mass times acceleration. At the apogee of a jump a person is, for a split second, weightless. When that person lands, he/she weighs more than normal (try jumping on a set of scales to verify this). Vertical vibration of a plate on which you stand duplicates this phenomenon many times a second. Different vibration frequencies affect different parts of the body. But all vibrations affect the lymphatic system, causing lymphatic irrigation, and all the body's cell walls react positively to the flexing of the cell walls caused by the alternating weightlessness and increased weight.
G-Force provides cardio benefits by providing oxygen uptake while lowering heart rate and blood pressure. When capillaries receive pressure from muscle contraction, fluid is ejected into the system. When the pressure eases, the capillaries regain their original form and cause a functional vacuum, pulling in fresh oxygenated blood into the empty vessel. In this way a G-Force acts as a "pump" delivering nutritious fluids to the body's tissue. Secondary, the "pump" action creates significant muscular efforts thus providing oxygen and nutrients to the blood stream. G-force also improves vascular flow and removal of metabolic waste.
G-Force causes an increase in many important and beneficial hormones such as Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Growth Hormone, Testosterone, Estrogen, Cortisol and Insulin.
Causing contraction and activation of muscle and tendon fibers, thus creating traction and compression on bones, leading to remodeling of the bone.
The mechanical strain of G-Force promotes functional adaptation of both muscle and bone tissue.
Rapid muscle activation increases the circulation of blood, lymph, nutrients.
Improved vascular delivery occurs in bone.
Benefits of improved anabolic hormone profile which supports regeneration and growth in bone tissue.
G-Force induced vibration causes the brain to release serotonin, a natural anesthesia, thus reducing pain. G-Force also interrupts negative feedback loops and positive, feel-good hormones.
Rebounding helps circulate oxygen throughout the body to increase energy.
Rebounding in a whole body exercise that improves muscle tone throughout the body.
Some sources claim that the unique motion of rebounding can also help support the thyroid and adrenals.

Livingstone & Victoria Falls
Livingstone is probably better oriented towards visitors than any other corner of Zambia. In spite of this, visitors travelling north from Zimbabwe are attracted simply by the Victoria Falls. Until recently the town of Livingstone often remained unseen. In the past, some have even viewed it with suspicion, being bigger and less well known than the small Zimbabwean town which shares the name of the waterfall. As a result of Zimbabwe's political instability, however, much of this has changed in recent years. Zimbabwe is now considerably more expensive than Zambia, and the requirement for high-priced visas has not helped. Add to this concerns over safety, and fuel and food shortages, and it's not hard to see why Livingstone, and the lodges on the Zambian side of the river, are going from strength to strength.
Both the Zimbabwean and Zambian sides of the river offer different views of the waterfall, and it is worth seeing both sides of the Falls to appreciate the whole waterfall. Yet while this chapter aims to give details of both, it incorporates far more information on Livingstone, reflecting the situation on the ground. Livingstone has developed and become popular in its own right; it's now the destination of first choice for most people visiting the Victoria Falls. Historians might note that most of the adventure activities like rafting, bungee jumping, and microlighting originally started on the Zambian side of the Falls, before being taken over by more commercial Zimbabwean companies.

Women's 'selfless' deeds saluted
Pat Kerr
Mar 03, 2021 • March 3, 2021 • 2 minute read • Join the conversation
Robin Kerr, of Bruce Mines, says it is 'wonderful' to receive recognition for work that is normally done behind the scenes.
Four area women are being recognized Monday on International Women's Day for their community contributions.
One of them, Robin Kerr, of Bruce Mines, is being recognized for helping women who have experienced violence.
Women's 'selfless' deeds saluted Back to video
"Women are doing good in our community," said Kerr, adding she is "proud" to have been nominated by Women in Crisis Support.
"They see everything. They know what needs to be done. We are showing women as they get stronger, they have the strength and courage to move on. We are here to help and not judge."
COVID lockdowns have challenged the crisis support community, but Kerr said some of the changes are positive, as while volunteers can't get out, they are finding many people in need prefer to make first contact by phone.
Kerr said she expects to be inundated with reports of crimes once restrictions are lifted. Numbers of calls are down 25 per cent so far this year.
"We are volunteer-based and will be recruiting volunteers once restrictions lift," she said.
Her group supports the area from Spanish to Montreal River, practically around the clock.
"We don't take vacation," Kerr said. "Be kind. We can't tell what people are going through."
Other local women recognized include Morgan Turner, Angela Caputo and Wendy Gutcher.
Turner was nominated for being a "selfless young woman," who dedicates "countless" hours volunteering to help children and families in need. She is "fearlessly determined" to find and create a "happier tomorrow" for all people, the nomination says.
Caputo was nominated for local activism and "always" working on behalf of "what the community needs." She promotes Sault Ste. Marie and other small businesses.
"Angela is always giving to the community from her heart," the nomination says.
Gutcher was nominated for giving "selflessly" to our community, and for "doing what she" can to help the underprivileged.
"No matter how great the need, Wendy finds a way," the nomination reads.
The nomination is an "extreme honour," said Kerr.
"It is wonderful to receive recognition for work that is normally done behind the scenes. We are here to build each other up," she added.

Logging Mob Movies #2: White Heat
Logan P. Miller	Classics, Crime	 August 31, 2012 February 8, 2015 2 Minutes
When I saw 'White Heat', It really added a layer onto my opinion of James Cagney, putting him front and center as one my favorite and most watchable of actors. He plays a mobster momma's boy in the film yet still feels like an ice-cold hard ass. He's psychologically intoned with his mother, a comforting yet sharply spoken woman, who follows him and his gang across the country. It begins with the Jarrett gang robbing a moving train, where we see just how much of a snake Cody Jarrett, (James Cagney), is. His lack of emotion is characteristic of the mob leader: and in fact is re-enforced by his mother.
The plot behind White Heat is one of considerable complexity: It involves Cody Jarrett submitting himself to prison out of some scheme to save his neck, and an undercover cop, Hank, who shares a cell with the mobster. It eventually leads to the two becoming close inmate friends, and resulting in there mutual escape, along with a handful of other criminals. They're a fresh gang again, and Cody means to take revenge against a man named Big Ed, a member of his gang, who thinks he can reign over Cody's men, and mother, while he's in prison.
The result is a memorable gangster flick with an enticing performance from James Cagney. One of the most famous scenes is while he's sitting in the prison, eating dinner, when he finds out his mother has been killed: he stands up on the table and screams, going on an angry rampage, punching prison guards while simultaneously weeping uncontrollably. He's a red-faced bull, and the only person who can tame him, his mother, is now gone forever. Cody Jarrett is more loose and careless than ever.
There are so many subtle hints that make White Heat the masterpiece that it undoubtedly is, building scenarios that seem very much ahead of it's time. It's revealed that the father of Jarrett lived in a psyche institute, which creates a new dimension, a second breed of terror about Cody Jarrett's character; his genes don't exactly scream of sanity.
The conclusion of the film is a completely riveting third act: Through his final criminal act, we see he is more than a man chasing fast-cash, but a tortured, self-destructive person. He's truly mad, clearly and simply, and he revels in wrecking havoc and revealing to the world himself and his true nature. It's stated in the film that he would fake bouts of crying as a child in order to get his mothers attention. Cody Jarrett would never kill himself, no matter the pain he feels. He has to go out with an explosion, with people's attention, and with that very specific sense of self-superiority he carries within himself.

Linear foot measurements are found in the component boxes and in the schedules of expenditures. Due to our Canadian construction background we have a bias towards the imperial system – although we work in metric readily. Simply put, lineal refers to ancestry and is not to be confused with linear. In some fields, 'lineal' describes a quantity of material that has an implied width dimension, and 'linear' describes a distance regardless of width. Consider the replacement of metal panel cladding, and a building having 20 linear foot to an eave, such that 20 lineal foot of metal would be required. There exists a factor to convert lineal foot to square foot – defined by the width of the material specified – but such a concept does not readily apply to measurements and industries that use the term 'linear'.

Bummed out that the high-powered Los Angeles Rams offense couldn't even muster a touchdown in a 13-3 loss to the New England Patriots in Sunday's Super Bowl where even the halftime show featuring Maroon 5 was awful?
Well, here's a true-to-life story making headlines across the nation five days after the fact that is sure to make you feel warm and fuzzy. A couple of cops in the Texas town of Lufkin, located 120 miles northeast of Houston, got to the scene of a dire situation that had already claimed one young life. Would they be too late to save a sibling?
Here's a synopsis of the story with a happy ending as described in the Facebook page of the Lufkin police and fire departments: Officer Devin Trotti and Officer Randy Stallard encountered a kitten stuck roughly 30 feet up in a tree while on a civil standby on Friday. Before the cops arrived, the kitten's sibling apparently fell to its death.
This is the condensed version of their 10-minute rescue, which involved crime scene tape and one of the blankets that officers keep in their patrol units to give to the homeless, used to catch what happened to be the most adorable little kitten in the proverbial cat stuck in a tree saga.
The little ball of fur, a female now fondly named "Trotti," was taken to the Kurth Memorial Animal Shelter and is up for adoption.

BMW M6 Gran Coupe vs Audi RS7 – Video Review
Home » Videos » BMW M6 Gran Coupe vs Audi RS7 – Video Review
Horatiu Boeriu
December 18, 2013 / 2 minutes read
AutoExpress test drives and compares the BMW M6 Gran Coupe against the Audi RS7.
Both are powered by turbocharged V8 engines and have over 500 bhp -but do they really justify their nearly £100,000 price tags?
In the UK, the BMW M6 Gran Coupe costs just under £98,000 and features a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8 with 552bhp and 680Nm of torque. It sprints from 0-60 in just 4.2 seconds before hitting a limited top speed of 155mph.
The Audi has a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 yet despite being down on capacity compared to the BMW it produces the same bhp and has even more torque with a huge 700Nm. Once again top speed is limited to 155mph, but it hits 60 in just 3.9 seconds.
Before jumping into the video, here is what AutoExpress had to say about the driving experience:
So, what's the Audi like to drive? Well, the first thing is that it's so hard to use the performance on the road – it's just so fast that it's impossible to put it into use.The one thing the Audi does have is quattro all-wheel drive and a clever sport differential – that means it doesn't have any of the traction issues that you get in the M6, and it doesn't work it's stability control as hard. There's lots of grip, but the problem is it's just a bit inert – there's not a lot of feel in the steering.Also, the suspension is a bit odd.
The ride isn't great – in fact it's pretty awful – and all in all it's not a particularly engaging car despite its speed. It's quite hard to love this car despite the fact that the engine is so great.So how does the BMW compare? If anything the BMW engine has a little bit more character than the Audi engine and there's certainly more fizz to the driving experience. It's not perfect and it troubles the traction control quite a lot on a wet road, though.The biggest problem for this car in a way, though isn't the Audi – it's the M6's sister car, the M5. This car is substantially more expensive than the M5 – about £25,000 more than an M5 – and it doesn't offer a huge amount more in terms of driving.
So the BMW is the best to drive but it's also the nicest to sit in, with its stylish interior and sporty wrap-around cockpit. The Audi's still feels posh and is loaded with gadgets but it lacks the BMW's wow factor. However with its hatchback boot the Audi is the more practical of the pair.It might cost a lot more money than the BMW M5 but we'd go for the M6 Gran Coupe – it looks great, sounds fantastic and most importantly it's more fun to drive than the Audi RS7.

Have to admit that the RS7 looks fantastic but in term of all aspects, I'd still take the M6 GC anyday :D

Audi takes BMW and leaves it into dust!
You can try this way to comfort yourself :)
Roland Renno says:
Being a BMW fan, I have to admit the Audi RS7 has great performance figures. The 4.4 litre from BMW should have at least delivered 600hp. BMW are known with their small-displacement engines and high output. This is the school book that BMW always taught us with. I don't know why they went up to 4.4, a number which is high and could have been solved by the less thirsty 4.0.
