Q: What's the use of casting NULL to SomeType* in C++? I'm currently grinding through some third-party C++ code that looks rather odd to me (I started out with C++11). One of the many things that left me puzzled, are the many instances of static_cast from NULL to some pointer type:
SomeClass* someClassPtr = static_cast<SomeClass*>(NULL);

I know you can cast pointers e.g. from a base class pointer into a derived class pointer, but there is absolutely no inheritance going on here. As far as I can see, this should be enough:
SomeClass* someClassPtr = NULL;

But the only cases in this code, where NULL does not get casted to a specific pointer type, are pointers in vectors and other containers:
SomeOtherClass.vecOfSomeClassPtr[i] = NULL;

So my questions are:

*

*Is this simply old-style (or even C-style) code from before there was nullptr?

*Is/was casting NULL necessary for other things than down-/upcasting when working with inheritance?

*Or am I missing something completely?

And in case I haven't gotten it wrong so far:
I first replaced all instances of static_cast<type*>(NULL) with NULL and later nullptr, to see if that would break anything: Nope.
The compiler doesn't protest and the program still seems to work as expected.
But I know pointers can be tricky little bastards, so:

*

*What pitfalls about the use of nullptr did I probably miss?

PS: Yes, I did use the search and yes, I did find similar questions on C code.
But this is C++ code and I wanted to know for sure, instead of just assuming something.

A:
What's the use of casting NULL to SomeType* in C++?
SomeClass* someClassPtr = static_cast<SomeClass*>(NULL);

The cast has no effect in this context.
However more generally, it does make sense in some other context where overloading is involved:
void stupidly_overloaded_function(int);
void stupidly_overloaded_function(SomeClass*);
void stupidly_overloaded_function(SomeOtherClass*);

stupidly_overloaded_function(NULL);

which function gets called? It actually depends on the definition of NULL. Either it calls the int overload, or compilation fails due to ambiguity.
A cast can disambiguate the call:
stupidly_overloaded_function(static_cast<SomeClass*>(NULL));

I  think this is a significant reason for introducing nullptr. Although even nullptr cannot deal with multiple different pointer overloads, it does disambiguate between integers:
void not_quite_as_silly_overload(int);
void not_quite_as_silly_overload(SomeClass*);

not_quite_as_silly_overload(NULL);    // might call either overload
not_quite_as_silly_overload(nullptr); // unambiguously calls the pointer overload

Another case in C is macros involved with sizes of objects, such as the container_of macro from the Linux kernel:
define container_of(ptr, type, member) ({                      \
       const typeof( ((type *)0)->member ) *__mptr = (ptr);    \
       (type *)( (char *)__mptr - offsetof(type,member) );})

Here, just 0 is used instead of NULL. I think that this could be implemented in C++ without the cast, but only using declval which was introduced in C++11.

Is this simply old-style (or even C-style) code from before there was nullptr?

No, there was no universal style for such redundant casts. Your example has no overloading, so the above case does not apply to it.

Is/was casting NULL necessary for other things than down-/upcasting when working with inheritance?

No, it was (and still is in the case of different pointer overloads) necessary for overload resolution.

Overall, Home Care brand sites are known for their limited functionality. Most focus on product awareness than path to purchase and many don't have direct-to-consumer e-commerce. In the past year, however, multi-brand enterprises have started to develop their sites with features that help conversion. For example, all Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark brand sites feature reviews and all of P&G, Church & Dwight and Georgia-Pacific brand sites have store locators. Independent brands have been innovative as well. Seventh Generation, for example, has launched direct-to-consumer e-commerce and attracts 1.4x the site traffic of the average brands in L2's Home Care Index.
Enterprises are also realizing the importance of mobile presence, as smartphones are becoming the first stop in the purchase path for Home Care products. Twenty-three percent of U.S. mothers use a smartphone when shopping for household cleaning products. Three-quarters of L2's Home Care Index now have a mobile site and 23% of brands that were in the 2013 study have a mobile site. Procter & Gamble leads mobile adoption with a site for all of its home care brands.

Deep South founder Vicki Powell has been playing records and grooving on the dancefloor for her entire life. Her first gig was at a roller skating rink when she was 13 years old and she has been throwing parties for decades. An asset to her local queer scene and abroad, she has been booked at Honcho in Pittsburgh; NYC's Battle Hymn; Femme's Room in Chicago; Ostbanhof, Daddy Issues, and Cub Scout in Los Angeles; NeedlExchange in D.C.; and numerous other cities. With the culmination of meeting new people and seeing the gamut of party styles she was inspired to bring a new project to ATL.
Ansley's music journey began by going out to parties and immersing himself in the scene. Around 2006, he says, Atlanta's 24-hour clubs closed and the scene fractured into two scenes: one straight and one queer. During that time two awesome things happened for Ansley. He met his best friend, a local afterhours DJ named Christopher Allen. Ansley also was able to travel to Europe where he was introduced to the minimal side of techno.
Pittsburgh's Honcho crew played the first Deep South party in March 2016. Bookings since then included Bears in Space, The Carry Nation, NeedlExchange, Polyglamorous, Mike Servito, Gay Marvine, DJ Minx, and Doc Sleep, to name a few.

MPA Singapore to conduct more safety checks during Northeast Monsoon season
in Alerts
Credit: MPA Singapore
The Northeast Monsoon has set in and is expected to last till March 2023. The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) urges members of the public to exercise care and remain vigilant when at sea, in particular during this period.
During this period, the winds around Singapore are expected to strengthen while the sea conditions are expected to be choppy with moderate to heavy rain. MPA would also like to remind industry and port users to implement the necessary safety measures when conducting their operations.
For sea transport passengers and commuters, MPA highlights the importance of exercising basic safety practices, including remaining seated during the passage, using handrails when embarking and disembarking between the craft and landing steps, and donning of lifejackets when boarding and alighting the vessels at sea.
Persons engaging in recreational activities such as canoeing, kayaking, swimming, skiing, sailing and surfing should check the weather forecast and tidal conditions before heading to sea. Additionally, pleasure craft boaters should wear life jackets for their personal safety, especially on open deck boats, as there is increased risk of falling overboard.
Mauritania: Precautions necessary during calls at Port of Nouakchott
Crew must have negative PCR at Qingdao and Tangshan LNG Terminals
For port users, MPA reminds all owners, operators, masters and crew that ships and cargoes must be properly secured for sea and they must also ensure that their ships' firefighting and life-saving equipment on board are in good working condition and in accordance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) regulations.
Additionally, the crew must be familiar with safety procedures, including exercising safe speed, shipboard emergency procedures, and embarking and disembarking passengers, especially in strong wind conditions.
Masters must also remain alert while at anchor, keep a safe anchor watch, regularly check the weather conditions, ensure engines are ready for manoeuvring, and observe the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREGS).
When alongside, Masters and crew are to ensure that mooring lines are safely secured and tightened. Port users are also encouraged to wear life jackets for their personal safety when boarding and disembarking from ships at the anchorage.
Enhanced safety checks and measures by MPA
During this period, MPA will be stepping up safety checks and measures. MPA inspectors will conduct additional spot checks on ferries, harbour and pleasure craft.
Besides the inspections on the general condition of the vessels, the inspectors will also focus on the embarking and disembarking process, the state of firefighting and life-saving equipment on board, and operators' familiarity with emergency procedures.
Safety is a shared responsibility, and everyone must play their part to ensure that both operations and recreation at sea remain safe, especially during the monsoon period. Accidents often happen when complacency sets in. Do not leave anything to chance as the sea conditions can change very quickly. Be prepared and stay alert whenever you are at sea
Captain Chong Jia Chyuan, Port Master of MPA, said.

Dolan's holy war vs. Bam
By Carl Campanile
'A bureau of the federal government seems to be radically intruding on what the term of a church is.' —Timothy Cardinal Dolan Getty Images
Timothy Cardinal Dolan yesterday accused the Obama administration of "strangling" religious freedom by requiring Catholic employers to provide workers with birth control coverage.
Dolan also called the contraception edict a "horror" to the church a day after he joined a dozen federal lawsuits to have it overturned.
"I worry that members of [President Obama's] administration might not particularly understand our horror at the restricted nature of the exemption that they're giving us," Dolan told CBS's "This Morning" program.
"For the first time, we can remember, a bureau of the federal government seems to be radically intruding on what the term of a church is."
The cardinal's attack on the birth-control mandate has political overtones for Obama, who is trying to hold on to blue-collar and Catholic voters.
In 2008, Obama won 54 percent of the Catholic vote. A Gallup poll last month showed Catholics evenly split between Obama and Republican Mitt Romney at 46 percent each.
The White House pushed the mandate as a pro-women's health measure with another constituency in mind: women voters.
The mandate, which takes effect Aug. 1, requires all health plans in the country to cover contraception, including Catholic-run schools, hospitals and social services. In the case of religious objections, insurance companies would still be required to offer birth-control coverage at no cost to the employee.
Dolan argues the narrow exemption is a joke.
"This is about religious freedom, it's not about contraception," Dolan said. "What we're worried about now is the exemption given to the churches is so strangling, and so narrow."
The cardinal said it's "presumptuous" that a "bureau of the federal government is attempting to define for the church the extent of its ministry and ministers."
The White House defended the policy against Dolan's criticism.
"That objective that the president outlined is twofold — one, ensure that women across America receive these important preventive services, including contraception; and two, respect religious liberty," said Obama spokesman Jay Carney.
No religious organization will have to pay for or refer workers to contraceptive services, nor have to provide the services directly, although in most cases, the insurer would still have to offer the coverage, Carney said.
"Our doors remain open" to Catholic leaders, he added.
Meanwhile, Kentucky Democrats sent the president a message, showing strong support for "uncommitted" instead of Obama in yesterday's primary.
Obama got 58 percent of the vote but "uncommitted" won 42 percent.
Earlier this month in West Virginia, jailed felon Keith Russell Judd pulled 42 percent of the vote — a sign of Obama's problems in Appalachia.

Enjoy Paintball in Blackpool with us here at Impact!
Impact offers paintball on our dedicated site in Blackpool, Lancashire. We are located on Whyndyke Farm which is less than a minute away from Junction 4 exit on the M55 and on the main A583 road. We are only a couple of miles from the sea front and Blackpool Town Centre. Impact is the only paintball site in Blackpool, others do say they operate here but will require you to travel out of town to play – so be warned. We are open for Paintball six days a week and all year round. Paintball is the ideal activity for Stag & Hen Do's, Birthday Parties, your Corporate Event or just a group of mates.
What happens during my Paintball session?
Once you have completed your paperwork the team will then give everyone in your group an ID Wristband and assign your group a paint list. This means you can purchase extra paint balls on site without needing to take cash or cards on to the playing field. You are able to check what you are spending throughout the day, just ask a member of the team to see your paint list. Please note that all bills are individual.
Lockers are provided free of charge for you to store any valuables whilst out playing.
You are provided with NBC suits (these are thicker than the usual boiler suits provided by most sites and provide a good level of protection), a safety mask and a battle pack (to carry extra paint on the field). Footwear is not provided so please ensure you wear something suitable for running around outside on rugged terrain. Armour backed paintball gloves are available to hire on site on the day for £2 per pair.
All players are split into two teams and given a full safety briefing which covers all of the rules, health and safety and emergency procedures of our site, this takes around 20 minutes.
You then make your way up to the playing site. We have a dedicated 'Safe area' you go back to in between games, this where you are issued with paint balls and paintball markers. In safe area we provide drinking water, there are seats and cloths to clean masks. Before each game our activity marshals will explain the rules and some tactics for each game scenario. GAME TIME! All your games will are fully supervised by the UK Paintball Sports Federation trained marshals, who are on hand to make sure everyone is safe and keep you going!
What is the age requirement for Paintball?
The minimum age for Paintball at Impact is 12 years old.
Is there a minimum number of people needed for my Paintball session?
The minimum number of participants required to open a session at Impact is 8 players. Once we have 8 players on a session we can take players without any group minimum requirement. This means at peak times such as Saturdays we can take than less than 8 in a group. If you don't have 8 people please call the office on 01253 767279 (option 1) as we will be able to advise you of sessions that we can add you to).
Our Paintball Playing Fee/ "Paintball 100" is £15pp.
*Free Tea & Coffee on base camp. Water on the paintball site.
Includes all playing fee kit + 300 paintballs.
The average number of paint balls each player fires here at Impact is roughly 500 each (100 included in playing fee + an extra 400 deal). Obviously some players will use more than that, it all depends on how trigger happy/competitive you are!
That is entirely down to you again! Previous averages show for a decent half day session lasting approximately 4 hours that a participant will fire at least 500 paint balls. We don't time limits here at Impact, as long as you are still happy firing paint balls you're more than welcome to stay.
Paintball is the safest sport in the world according to insurance and medical statistics, in fact paintball is safer than ten-pin-bowling or five-a-side football! It apparently has a 0.003% (national US statistics) of injuries to the number of players playing in any 12 month period. All games are controlled by experienced marshals who are there both to control the games and also to keep all players safe. We are very strict on safety and monitor the games very carefully – providing everyone obeys the safety guidelines we just watch, and get hit occasionally!
Here at Impact Blackpool all our games are scenario based with each with their own objectives. The idea of paintball, primarily, is to have fun and a great day out – most games involve you being part of a team and your team must obtain an objective such as capturing the flag, capturing a possession from the enemies base or even just eliminating the opposition.
You are only out of the game if you get hit and only if the paint balls splats on you – hand and gun shots do not count. If it does not break and bounces off you are still in the game – also, we don't allow head shots so if you do get in the head it doesn't count and you can remain playing.
If your attacking – your starting on the edge of no man's land as you begin in the middle of a bitter war between the two teams. Your team need to make their way down the game area to rescue the prized possession dropped in front of the 'Wall of Death' and get it back to your starting point without being hit – sound easy? You do not want to be last man standing if you're on the attacking team on this game The defending team are barricaded behind the 'Wall of Death' and their task – to eliminate every attacker approaching the wall.
All our activity marshals are fully trained under The UK Paintball Sports Federation (UKPSF) regulations and wear uniforms to be identified on site. Our Activity Marshals are First Aid trained and in communication with each other and Base Camp via radios.
You can book online using the form below. If you cannot find the availability you require or have any questions about booking please just call the office on 01253 767279.
To book we require a deposit of £10pp – this becomes non-refundable once you get to 14 days prior to your booking. Players can be added to your booking at any time.

Conservation Spotlight: Native Fish Society
// Interview by Leonard Schoenberger
The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the finest fisheries of North America. Native Fish Society works to keep it that way.
We spoke to Executive Director Mark Sherwood about current projects, future challenges and the effects of the Covid19 pandemic on local fisheries.
What's the core of your work at Native Fish Society?
Native Fish Society exists to cultivate a groundswell of public support needed to revive abundant wild fish. We envision a Pacific Northwest with free-flowing rivers, thriving local communities, and healthy populations of native fish. Our work is focused on forging lasting relationships to educate, inspire, and mobilize everyone in keeping fish and rivers forever wild. We accomplish this work through policy and advocacy efforts. We also do coalition building, conservation campaigns, and grassroots trainings.
Mark Sherwood, Executive Director of the Native Fish Society
What are the most imminent threats to wild fish in the Pacific Northwest?
Hydropower dams, habitat loss, over-harvest (or overfishing), and hatcheries. These are commonly described as the four root causes of wild fish declines. They are also called the "four H's."
Hydropower dams and instream barriers physically block fish from accessing upstream habitats. For example, in the Columbia River Basin, which drains an area the size of France, dams block over 55% of spawning and rearing habitats.
Habitat loss includes a laundry list of actions that pollute water. It also reduces the ability for streams to naturally sustain native fish. In the Pacific Northwest, over 90% of extinct or declining native fish populations are associated with habitat loss.
Wild Steelhead, Photo by Loren Irving
Over-harvest harms wild fish populations. It reduces the number and diversity of fish left to spawn and support future runs. For example, ocean fisheries were harvesting over 80% of Oregon Coastal Coho Salmon during the 1980s. This over-harvest weakened the overall health of the population. It came to the point where the run collapsed in the late 1990s. Only through citizen based petitions to protect the fish under the Endangered Species Act was harvest reduced to sustainable levels putting these fish on the path to recovery.
"660,000,000 baby hatchery salmon and steelhead
were released into rivers in 2019"
Hatcheries manufacture cookie-cutter salmon that reduce the abundance and survival of wild salmon, while consuming billions of tax dollars dedicated to support salmon recovery.
Between Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California, 660,000,000 baby hatchery salmon and steelhead were released into rivers in 2019. The vast majority of these fish are not associated with conservation efforts. They serve for harvest in fisheries. This huge number of hatchery fish compete for food and habitat with wild fish. They reduce the number of wild fish that survive. Hatchery fish return from the ocean as adults and spawn with wild fish. Then they pass along their domesticated traits and weaken the next generation's ability to survive in the wild. Unlike the other H's, hatcheries are advanced as a solution to the other H's. For example, hatcheries were built to make up for habitat lost to dams or unsustainable development and to prop up fisheries that overfished wild fish.
To revive wild fish, we need to invest in restoring habitat, not hatcheries. Native Fish Society advocates for a transition from ailing hatchery populations and degraded rivers to free-flowing rivers and abundant wild fisheries.
What's the biggest challenge of the next ten years in your work at Native Fish Society?
The biggest challenge facing our coldwater native fish species like salmon, steelhead, and trout in the next ten years is the fifth H – Heat. Climate change is a growing and urgent threat to our native fish. Already, April snowpack in the Cascade Mountains is on average 20% less than it was in 1950. Climate forecasting for the Northwest predicts longer hotter summers, less winter snow, and potentially more rain.
In addition to supporting national and international efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions, anglers can help safeguard their fisheries in the Northwest by protecting cold-water habitats from development and ensuring that enough water is available instream for fish. Anglers can also carry a thermometer to take data on their local river. They can pause their fishing when water temperatures exceed 65F. If you're practicing catch and release, you can make sure to use best practices to limit handling and air exposure to the fish.
Fish is going to become an even more sought after resource with a growing world population.
How can that growth and the conservation of wild habitat be served at the same time?
The first thing we can do to serve the world's growing need for food and conserve wild habitat is to improve our stewardship of the natural world. This may seem too simple on the face of it. But it's an essential first step. For example, the largest, most sustainable wild salmon fishery in the world is located in Alaska's Bristol Bay. For more than a decade this fishery has been threatened by the proposed development of a large open pit gold mine – called Pebble Mine.
In 2020, 35 million wild sockeye salmon were harvested as part of the commercial fishery and were exported around the world. Even more impressive, this is a wild fishery that has been commercially fished for over 100 years. It continues to sustainably support tribal, recreational, and commercial fishers. Thankfully, the Army Corps of Engineers just denied a critical permit required for the mine to be developed.
Places like Bristol Bay should not face existential threats from irresponsible development. It would imperil wild fish and the human communities these fish sustain. Likewise, in the Pacific Northwest, our staff and volunteers are working to safeguard free-flowing rivers. They work on removing old dams that cut off habitat, and improve land use practices that degrade healthy habitats for fish. Northwest rivers have a remarkable capacity to nurture and sustain life. However, we need to give them the respect and care they deserve.
"Net-pen salmon also support high levels of salmon parasites
that negatively impact nearby wild juvenile salmon."
Additionally, we need to refocus our systems of aquaculture to raise species well suited for captivity. Salmon, a long journeying species that mature in the bountiful expanse of the ocean, are not good candidates for a high-density corral. Salmon raised in open ocean net-pens pollute waters with fecal matter and antibiotics. The fish are fed these to endure their tight confinement. Net-pen salmon also support high levels of salmon parasites that negatively impact nearby wild juvenile salmon.
Currently, these net pens are contributing to the decline of wild salmon in Washington state and British Columbia. On the other hand, raising species like mussels, found naturally in high densities with simple and stationary lives, can provide ecological benefits by filtering water while increasing protein resources. We can meet the growing needs of people and the planet if we take better care of our natural world. We need to engage in aquaculture that benefits our ecosystems instead of degrading them.
How does data contribute to conservation compared to ten years ago at Native Fish Society?
In the Pacific Northwest, many wild salmon and steelhead populations received protections under the Endangered Species Act. That was in the early and mid-2000s. With those protections came more robust fish monitoring and data collection. Nearly two decades down the road, those data sets are now becoming increasingly relevant and accurate. For example, randomized surveys for spawning steelhead were initiated in the early 2000s. They were part of a new monitoring protocol designed to provide better information on protected Oregon Coastal Coho salmon.
As a result of this monitoring we have a much better understanding of which populations are doing well and which are doing poorly. With this information we can advocate for specific changes in fisheries management to ensure that each river receives a sufficient number of adult salmon and steelhead to spawn the next generation.
What's the importance of keystone species?
A keystone is the top center stone in a Roman arch often considered the most important stone in the structure because it holds the entire arch together. The idea of a keystone species draws this architectural concept into the ecological realm. A keystone species supports and holds together an ecosystem containing many other species. If a keystone species is removed from an ecosystem the entire network of plants, animals, and habitat that depend on it collapse.
One well known keystone species is the Pacific Salmon. Biologists have identified 137 wildlife species whose diet depends directly or indirectly on salmon. In fact, the nutrients that salmon gather in the ocean and deliver to Northwest forests, as they die after spawning, are one of the central reasons this region boasts the tallest trees on the planet. The Northwest's iconic coniferous forests, its native plants, fungi, and abundance of birds, mammals, and insects all rely on salmon – a remarkable keystone species.
Could you explain your programs at Native Fish Society
(river steward, women for wild fish, etc.) a little more?
Three volunteer programs are central to our work building a groundswell of public support for the revival of wild, native fish across the Pacific Northwest. The River Steward Program supports and inspires a network of 76 place-based volunteer advocates who work to build local support for the stewardship of their backyard rivers and native fish. Local advocates are critical for alerting us to threats and opportunities to native fish and for building community support for science based solutions. For example, one of our River Stewards learned that a foreign mining company planned to mine the headwaters of his home stream.
He knew the mine would threaten native fish and the community's clean drinking water. Through a grassroots effort, hundreds of community members learned about the threat and spoke against the proposed mine. After three years, and with the help of a growing coalition, 40,000 public comments were submitted against the mine to decision makers. Our elected officials joined in support and today 101,000 acres of public lands remain protected from strip mining. That's the power of a local grassroots advocate.
The Native Fish Fellowship at Native Fish Society is a multidisciplinary volunteer collaboration. It elevates new perspectives, skills, and experiences in our community and environmental work. From drone pilots to anthropologists, we've enlisted the help of some remarkably skilled folks. They all share a passion for wild fish. For example, we met a data scientist at a film showing who wanted to lend his skills.
"The Women for Wild Fish Initiative is a movement focused on
encouraging and supporting women who are joining together as
advocates, activists, and leaders in the recovery of wild, native fish."
We eventually worked together on a publicly available online dashboard. It visualizes all of the hatchery releases in the Pacific Northwest. To our knowledge, this is the first tool of its kind. It transforms more than 6 billion fields of data into a relevant and digestible platform for the public and decision makers. Without this Native Fish Fellow's remarkable skills, we could never have brought this project to fruition.
The Women for Wild Fish Initiative is a movement focused on encouraging and supporting women who are joining together as advocates, activists, and leaders in the recovery of wild, native fish. In central Oregon, we're supporting a project led by one of our River Stewards who identifies as a woman. She's working with volunteers recruited through our Women for Wild Fish Initiative. They collect environmental DNA, eDNA for short, to find and protect threatened Bull Trout in the upper Deschutes River. Bull Trout are native to rivers and streams across the American west. They are protected under the Endangered Species Act. However, not all of the fish and their habitats are accounted for.
eDNA sampling enables volunteers to collect water samples from a number of streams where Bull Trout may be present. They can then be analysed for Bull Trout DNA, confirming their presence or absence. When Bull Trout are confirmed in a stream, protections are overlaid for the habitats and water quality. We couldn't do this work without the amazing leadership of our River Steward and the Women for Wild Fish community at Native Fish Society. This is just one example of how supporting a diverse community of wild fish advocates gives the fish and our homewaters the loudest voice possible.

Has Corona and the lockdown had an affect on wild fish/river systems?
One, perhaps unexpected, result of coronavirus and the lock down measures has been increased participation in local outdoor activities. This includes fishing and boating. As a result, many streams are seeing new folks out familiarizing themselves with their local watersheds and drinking water sources. This additional use can lead to abuse, as has been the case in some national parks this past summer. However, it also seems to have reinvigorated interest and respect for the local rivers. These rivers support recreation, wild fish, and sustain our communities.
For many folks exploring their backyard river was the most "normal" feeling place they've been in the past eight months. In this way, our work reviving free-flowing rivers and abundant wild fish has never been relevant to more folks and that's really exciting.
What can the individual fly fisher do to help protect habitats?
As a fellow angler, it's my hope that through our community's passion and drive we can stand together. Moreover, we can support the needs of the fish and rivers that give us so much. Even in the most challenging times, I'm reminded again and again that love for rivers and fish can unite people and bring about a better place to live and play.
Hence, we invite you to get involved and support our work however you're able. Follow the Native Fish Society on Facebook and Instagram. Sign up for our weekly newsletter – Redd It – which provides a quick snapshot of news, actions, and happenings with Pacific Northwest native fish. You can support us financially as a member or a donor. If you've got a skill or a talent you'd like to lend to our efforts, send us an email about the Fellowship Program. If you live in the Pacific Northwest and are passionate about your backyard river, get in touch about our River Steward Program.
Thank you to The Wading List for the chance to share our work with your community!


I will be joining ISTE's SIGVE and the IB Educators Guild in WoW in on an Hour of Code to celebrate Computer Science Week and to advocate for teaching coding at all grade levels. This will be at least my third official Hour of Code as I will be participating in an unplugged activity with my colleagues, during the same week. The Computer Science Education Week website offers tutorials and suggested activities to ensure for a problem solving, thinking event. The SIGVE event and IB Guild planned activities described below are ones that you will not find on code.org so I'll provide a brief description for anyone wanting to join or develop their own Hour of Code.
In Second Life a script is coded in a pop-up box and a HUD (Heads-Up Display) is often used to activate the commands coded.
On Tuesday December 10, SIGVE (8PM EST) members will bring their avatars to SIGVE Headquarters in Second Life to write code that will program their avatar to animate. Educators attending will use the SL language along with animations to create a sequence of moves. Often those who use 3D immersive environments simply use purchased or gifted animations, this activity will provide an opportunity to customize avatar movements movements upon activation. There is always the possibility that the program will not work or will not work as intended, thus needing to be debugged.
In WoW, Macros are written in a pop-up box and connected to icon/button that will then activate the commands when clicked.
On Wednesday December 11, (8PM EST) The Inevitable Betrayal Educators Guild in World of Warcraft will spend an Hour of Code developing Macros that will animate characters, cast spells, use weapons, and make more efficient use of time. The guildies will use the slash commands used within the WoW game to write programs with a series of actions that will be activated with a button. Different classes within the MMORPG have skills and spells that are specific to that class, thus complicating things a bit and requiring a little more problem solving on the part of participants. The "programs" or Macros will be tested out in friendly duels and debugged as needed.
The idea of the event is to promote computational thinking, which is an integral part of the CCSS and explicitly taught via Computer Science classes. The two opportunities offered by these educators will be live-streamed via the Gamemooc youtube channel so if you cannot attend, you may want to logon and watch the fun.

Q: Extract data from picture of experimental instrument I need to transform many pictures of an analog clock with only on pointer ( the one of hours ) in the corresponding numerical data.
Is it possibile to do it with mathematica?  I would like to find some documentation about this.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
You suggest to give an sample image (is not a clock is a dynamometer but is the same problem, I talk about clock to simplify)
About the code I have no idea how to do it, this is why I am asking documentation. Sorry.

A: This has been discussed on the Wolfram Community forum:

*Classical computer vision approach:
https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/852948

*Machine-learning approach:
https://community.wolfram.com/groups/-/m/t/884007
One could also use the Python External Evaluation functionality and use existing OpenCV implementations for this problem, e.g., https://github.com/intel-iot-devkit/python-cv-samples/tree/master/examples/analog-gauge-reader

Capcom releases an all new action-adventure game for the Playstation 2 this winter with Shadow of Rome. Set in 48 B.C. after the murder of Julius Caesar, you play two separate characters working together to uncover the truth behind the emperor's assassination. The game offers a mix of adventure gaming as well as rough and tough action so everyone is happy. Not only that, the game will automatically adjust to your playing style , more brawns (as Agrippa) for the action players and more brains (as Octavius) for those who favor stealth.
As the soldier Agrippa, you will fight in the ancient coliseum, fending for your life in the cruel Roman games. While you wait to be released into the arena, a guard explains about the day's events?. You get to quiz the guards and the other gladiators with questions, but understandably nobody really wants to chitchat.
As the portcullis is raised and you head into the arena, four other gladiators join you, and they all scramble for the few weapons on the ground. If you aren't the first one to grab the nearest sword, good luck trying to shoulder an enemy and knock one from his hands.
The game allows you to wrestle opponents for their weapons during attacks, a move that may or may not work. Even if you succeed, each weapon has its physical limit , like you, it can only take so much beating before it breaks. When that happens, you might have to pick up a boulder and smash another gladiator to get a replacement.
Or, if you have been performing well, raise your arms, plea for the crowd's favor and get a better weapon thrown to you.
Your enemies range from small, quick dwarves to massive giants twice your size. A large variety of weapons are available, including short swords, maces, axes, and chains. You compete against other gladiators in a wide variety of challenges ranging from hand to hand combat to chariot races.
You have a good reason to win, too: your father, accused of murdering Caesar, is to be executed by the champion of the gladiatorial events. Playing as Octavius, your goal is to use your stealth and mind to discover the truth about the assassination before it is too late.
The game promises a very convincing reproduction of ancient Rome, with famous historical figures, accurate weapons, and a vast number of environments both inside and around the city, and realistic sound effects.
Shadow of Rome promises to be a completely engrossing experience that takes you deep into the violence, action, and intrigue of one of the most spectacular times in human history.

Our Birthing Story
Introducing Aurélie Saynac, the little bundle of joy that switches between tofu and chili padi, who came into this world exactly one week before her due date.
THE UNEXPECTED, FINAL GYNAE VISIT
It was a usual, routine checkup at the gynae on a Thursday, and luckily both of us were there for this visit. Our gynae, Dr. Wong, hadn't meant to do a check on my cervix that day because she had done one the previous week and I wasn't ready yet. However, since I was already at the clinic, I thought we could just go ahead and do that check anyway.
We went into the ultrasound scanning room, where Dr. Wong found that the level of amniotic fluid was less than ideal, and that there wasn't also as much blood flow to the baby as compared to the previous week. The cervix examination showed that I had thinned out, but still wasn't fully open and ready yet. (Whatever this means, I still don't know. There's too much jargon to deal with when it comes to pregnancy.)
She then dropped the bomb on us: We had to either deliver the next day or latest by the coming Monday. "I'm not giving you a third option." We were so not ready for that!
We chose to deliver the next day because the baby had to come out sooner or later anyway, and it was better sooner in our case, since she would be 39 weeks old on the dot on that day. And if the placenta was no longer functioning optimally, it meant our baby wasn't receiving as much nutrients as she needed – so it would be much better for her to be out.
The plan was then to "check-in" at the hospital after 11pm that very night and induce the delivery so that I could stay a full 2 more nights after that (anything after 11pm is considered the next day). After the induction, I'd get some rest in my room, have breakfast the next morning and then pop the baby.
When we left the clinic, Xav and I went to get some supplies like pads and some Ruffles to prepare for my stay post-delivery. Then we headed home and tried to calm ourselves down while adding the final things to the hospital bag.
THE CONTRACTIONS
That night, after 11pm, we made our way to the hospital. And everything happened in a blur after that.
We made our way to one of the rooms where they prep mums about to deliver. I got the medication to induce the delivery. Almost right after that, the contractions started coming in – and they came in quick. One came right after the other, and each time I had one, it was stronger than the previous one.
At some point, one of the nurses came by and asked me what my level of pain was between 1-10, 10 being the kind of pain that would make me cry. I said 5. She said then that I had to remain in this room for observation and not be released to my actual suite room. I should have asked for the epidural there and then, but somehow I decided to wait for a while. Luckily she came back quite soon after and I told her in between breaths that I wanted it now.
While waiting for the anaesthesiologist to arrive, my contractions steadily grew worse and closer to each other. I think it was probably 10s between each one. I can't remember. I just remember they kept coming and wouldn't stop and I kept feeling like I wanted to die.
LAUGHING GAS & EPIDURAL
They gave me laughing gas, which was a joke. It did nothing to numb the pain, but made me feel as if I was on an alcoholic high. Like when you go clubbing and your feet hurt from your heels but you don't feel it because you have to focus on balancing and walking straight. In my frustration, I straight up told one of the nurses, "It's useless!" LOL.
At one point, I even felt like telling them to give me a C-section – just cut the baby out – so I could stop feeling the contractions (of course they would most probably not agree to it). But that was a stupid idea and I knew it. I called for the nurses in between my cries and almost-tears, and asked how long more I had to wait for the epidural, and they said about 30min and in my head I went, "FML."
To cut the story short, soon the anaesthesiologist arrived I got my epidural and all I can say is that epidural is the best love story ever invented. The contractions soon after gradually felt shorter and less painful.
My dilation happened pretty quick too. Somewhere in between having a urinary catheter inserted (this was around the same time I got the induction medication) and being wheeled into the delivery suite, I went from 2cm to 10cm in a span of about 6 hours. When the nurses came to do their routine checks on my dilation, they were so surprised that it happened so quickly. This was especially so as they had to remove my induction medication halfway through as my baby had an episode of being in distress due to it.
I couldn't believe it when a nurse came by and said we were going to the delivery suite. I asked, "Huh? What's my dilation?" They said, "10cm." That was way sooner than I had expected! At that point, all I could focus on was breathing and staying alive. I let them handle the rest. All I could pray for was to have Dr. Wong deliver my baby instead of another random doctor because the timing was earlier than we had planned for.
The nurse who came to wheel me off wanted to get me off the epidural but I pleaded with her to at least wait till the doctor arrived to do it. We "negotiated" for a while but I'm actually not even certain she listened and waited. Professionals do what they're supposed to do, so maybe she was only entertaining me. I refused to let go of the laughing gas when it was time to go though. Who would have thought?
THE DELIVERY – "1, 2, 3, PUSH!"
It was such a relief when I saw Dr. Wong enter the delivery suite! I was quite unsure of what I had to do, but there were a total of three nurses/doctor/midwife, Xav and I. They told me that I had to push when they said to push.
At the beginning, it seemed like there was some sort of waiting. A couple of times, I tried to push as instructed. At one point, Dr. Wong said the baby's head was at the entrance and invited Xav to take a look (which he did).
The waiting around was awkward, and then I realised that they were all waiting for me to inform them whenever I had a contraction, so that they could tell me to push. It all happened very fast too!
With each contraction (I'd tell them I was having one), they'd tell me, "1, 2, 3, PUSH!" And I would push for 10 counts, 3 times for each contraction. After about 5-7 contractions, the baby was out!
Honestly, I couldn't feel anything down there. The two nurses/midwife also helped me to push the baby out by literally pressing on my tummy and physically pushing/squeezing her out while I used whatever was left of my abs and Pilates techniques I could remember. Xav was at my back, helping me curl forwards while I pushed. How I knew the baby was out was when Xav went all excited and exclaimed, "She's here! She's here!" Then I heard her cry and I saw her for a brief moment – bloody, pink, arms all stretched out, kicking, alive and all.
Dr. Wong invited Xav to cut the umbilical cord and with that, our baby was free!
They placed her right on me, and it all felt so surreal. I remember thinking at that point, "OMG there's a My-thing on me and it has weight!" For the record, I couldn't see her while she was on me, so I could only feel and hear her.
AFTER THE DELIVERY
All wrapped up and right beside mama!
Right after the delivery was quite anti-climax. Dr. Wong had to remove my placenta, count all the sacs and remove as much bloody waste from my insides as possible. I think she might even have stuck her hand into me before my dilation ended (she'd prepped me for this during one of our gynae visits). Honestly, because I couldn't feel anything, I wouldn't have known it if someone stuck a baby hippo inside of me.
Meanwhile, our baby was taken to the heating pad/incubator thingy in the same room and they had to suck fluids out of her lungs and stuff. Dr. Wong proceeded to stitch me up. I started to feel the thread after a while as the epidural wore off, but luckily she was already on her last stitch.
Afterwards, we got about an hour with the baby laying on me (still in the same delivery suite). Between that and being in my double-bedded suite, I really can't remember what happened. I remember though, that I was relieved it was all over, and that the nurse who wheeled me back to my room helped us take some of our first photos as a family of three.
So it's almost the end of my confinement period, and I'm a little scared of how we're going to handle this little one all on our own. But that's a story for another day. 🙂

Liverpool eyeing star striker, says Rodgers
The departure of Luis Suarez to Barcelona leaves the Reds with only two out-and-out centre forwards, though the manager admits that it is difficult to land a "top-level" candidate
Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says the Premier League club intend to pursue a big-name striker until the transfer window closes.
Monaco sharpshooter Radamel Falcao and Paris Saint-Germain forward Edinson Cavani have both been linked to the Reds, who are on the lookout for a replacement for €88 million Barcelona signing Luis Suarez.
New recruit Rickie Lambert and Daniel Sturridge are the only two recognised strikers at Anfield and the Liverpool boss is determined to land a leading centre forward, even if it means deadline-day madness on September 1.
"The money is there – and we will look to improve at the top end of the field until the very end of the window," Rodgers told reporters ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener against Southampton at Anfield.
"It's not easy to get a top-level striker, no, but we have to keep looking. We certainly need something because we haven't brought in another striker so far, apart from Rickie Lambert.
"You just never know what will happen in that last week – the window will always throw up something.
"We will persevere and the boys are working hard behind the scenes to see what information we can get on the availability of players."
Liverpool also secured the services of young striker Divock Origi this summer but the Belgium international will remain on loan at Lille for the 2014-15 season.

Q: MySQL Query to sum data from another table in select query
I have a hard time calculating the items.sell_price by the bill id.
This is my query.
    select bill.name,sum(item.sell_price) as 'price'
    from bills,bill_information,items
    where bills.id_bill = bill_information.bills_id
      and
          bill_information.item_id = item.id_item

But the problem is the sum doesn't work the way I want. I want to sum the sell_prices in table items when bills.id_bill has two item_id in the bill_information.
If we have two item_id in bill_information I want it to sum just those two, not all the sell_price in the items table
:( hope you get it

A: what is the table is doesn't matter in this case you have to do only one thing. please group by the bill id like below,
select bill.name,sum(item.sell_price) as 'price'
from bills,bill_information,items
where bills.id_bill = bill_information.bills_id
and
bill_information.item_id = item.id_item
GROUP BY bills.id_bill

the new part is,
GROUP BY bills.id_bill

Q: A CSS class is added to an element by JS at runtime, but its properties are not applied. Why? I have been monitoring what CSS classes properties are applied to .header when the window is scrolled down enough that .view is no longer visible. The class scroll-header IS added to .header, but the associated CSS properties ARE NOT applied. They question is why and how do I fix this?

$(document).ready(function() {
  console.log("script.js is detected"); //check

  $(window).scroll(function() {
    console.log("window onscroll being called."); //check
    if ($("div.view").visible(true)) {
      console.log("YES if ( $(\"div.view\").visible(true) )"); //check
      $(".header").removeClass(".scroll-header");
    } else {
      console.log("NO if ( $(\"div.view\").visible(true) )"); //check
      $(".header").addClass(".scroll-header");
    }
  });

});
.view {
  height: 500px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: crimson;
}
.second {
  height: 2500px;
  width: 100%;
  background-color: purple;
}
.header {
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100px;
  background-color: cyan;
  top: 0px;
  left: 0px;
}
.scroll-header {
  background-color: yellow;
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  height: 70px;
  background-color: yellow;
}
* {
  border: 0px;
  padding: 0px;
  margin: 0px;
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

.

.

.

A: as mentioned in comment, .visible is not a function of jquery. Although you can use below code to detect your dom element is visible or not:
if ($("#yourElem").is(":visible") == true) {
    //do something
}
else {
    //do something else
}

As you are using jquery.visible plugin. Your code is wrong in javascript. Correct code:
$(document).ready(function() {
  console.log("script.js is detected"); //check

  $(window).scroll(function() {
    console.log("window onscroll being called."); //check
    if ($("div.view").visible(true)) {
      console.log("YES if ( $(\"div.view\").visible(true) )"); //check
      $(".header").removeClass("scroll-header");
    } else {
      console.log("NO if ( $(\"div.view\").visible(true) )"); //check
      $(".header").addClass("scroll-header");
    }
  });

});

You were adding .scroll-header instead of scroll-header
