Sequences through items in one or more files.
This little workflow allows you to sequentially step through items in multiple list files. You use the "Next Item: Set File" file action on the file containing a list of items: One item per line. For example, a list of urls; one per line. Then the hot key (you will have to set yourself since mine being n will be erased) will take the next item from the specified first list and copy it to the clipboard and to a notification. If you view all lists before the first list, you will see each corresponding item for each list. The counter is only incremented after passing the item from the first list.
"ni:move #" This will move the last set file to the # list. If you do not move the file items to a list number, then it will not get sent to you. "ni:item" This will give the next item from the first list and increment the counter. ni:l #" This will give the next item from the # list, but the count will not be incremented unless it is list 1. "ni:inc" and "ni:dec" These will increment or decrement the counter. "ni:set" allows you to set the counter to any number. "ni:clear" will clear the counter and erase the temporary files. "ni:current" will display the current count number.
The items are addressed using a zero reference. Therefore, if the counter is 1, the the second line in the file will be displayed.
Setting a new list will clear the count. The file specified is copied to a work area that all the other scripts will use to access it. Therefore, you do not need to worry about the original file being changed.

It has been an superior expertise as nobody may have accomplished it higher. The individual that John is, it's a pleasure to work with him," says Robbie.

The crew was apprehensive although if John Abraham can be focused on an espionage spy sort of setting since he had been doing a flurry of motion movies.
"All doubts had been raised to relaxation although after I met him and narrated the movie. He was positive that he wished to do it, we had a handshake and submit that it was a matter of all logistics being churned out, it was all easy as that," smiles Robbie.

DFW International Airport Provides Global Venue for Shopping Sprees and Dining Ease
New International Terminal D Offers New Specialty Shops, Flavorful Eateries for International Travelers' Enjoyment
DFW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, Texas, July 19 /PRNewswire/ — Beginning Saturday, it will come as no surprise if travelers begin looking forward to layovers when passing through DFW International Airport's new International Terminal D. A vast array of exquisite restaurants and unique shops await passengers inside the Airport's new International Terminal D, promising to attract and please even the most discerning tastes. The terminal plans 'premeire flight' activities Saturday, July 23.
International Terminal D features a variety of retail and dining outlets as diverse as the international travelers they will service. Ranging from casual dining to specialty outlets, from international cuisine and gifts to Texas-proud food and fun, Terminal D will undoubtedly offer something for everyone.
For example, Blue Mesa Grill, a Dallas-Fort Worth area favorite, offers a Southwest flavor while the new Tigin Irish Pub promises an authentic Irish pub experience with a variety of foods and beverages. Reata Grill, a long-time Fort Worth landmark, adds an upscale taste of Texas to the impressive lineup of Terminal D dining choices. The range of shopping options is just as diverse with retailers such as Bachendorf's Fine Jewelry, Landau & Bocelli Fashion Accessories, Dallas-based Fossil and local favorite MallaSadi Men's Boutique.
"It's an impressive terminal and it looks and feels exactly how an international terminal should," said Gilbert Aranza, CEO of Star Concessions, which is opening three restaurants new to DFW — Champps, Cool River Cafe and Cantina Laredo. "And to see the quality and quantity of the vendors reflects what an impressive job the Airport staff has done."
International Terminal D offers two 40,000-square-foot concessions villages along with two children's play areas and two performance spaces. Of the 60 retail spaces available, 49 will be ready for business opening day with the remainder to be filled by late November. In addition to hosting many long-time vendors, International Terminal D will also be home to seven new concessionaires.
As an added benefit, the general public can also access some of the concessions spots in the new International Terminal D. Patrons are afforded the opportunity of shopping or dining on various levels, notably the Grand Met restaurant at the Grand Hyatt. Additionally, the public has access to Stellar News on the Concourse level and Au Bon Pain and Southwest News located on the Arrivals level, serving 'meeters and greeters' as they await family, friends or business associates.
Fifteen of International Terminal D's concessionaires are longtime success stories at DFW. John Brancato, Managing Partner of Puente Concessions and of V. Puente Currency Services along with Gina Puente-Brancato, President of Gina Puente Ventures Inc. and Puente Concessions Inc. have partnered with DFW as concessionaires for more than 16 years.
"We have very much enjoyed the relationship we've had with DFW and we know the best years are still ahead," Brancato said. "We feel this will be the best terminal in the country, if not the world, and it will be the first place that a lot of travelers will ever see of the United States; we're proud to be a part of that."
Together, the couple will open The Marche, a locale containing four restaurants: Fuddruckers, Einstein Bros. Bagels, 360 Degree Gourmet Burrito and Railhead Smokehouse BBQ, one of Fort Worth's best-known barbecue hotspots. The Brancatos will separately open two newsstands, Main Street News and Wall Street News along with the Travelex currency exchange. They are also opening another location of their highly-acclaimed La Bodega Winery, the nation's only airport winery.
"We're excited about the opportunity to serve the international public," Puente-Brancato said. "We are proud to be a concessionaire in this particular terminal not only because of the magnitude of the building, but also because of the quality."
"Everyone is excited and ready to open," said Ray Quintanilla, President of RQ Concessions Limited, which owns Fossil and the new Jazzman's Cafe. "With so much effort and energy that has been put forth, we know it's going to be a huge success."
The feeling of success is mutual as airport officials recently estimated International Terminal D concessionaires would bring in more than $86 million in gross sales during the first year of operation. As with every DFW vendor, all products and services are required to be sold no higher than 10% above "street" pricing.
Although it's an international terminal with a world-class atmosphere, many of the vendors are not far from home; approximately 77-percent of International Terminal D concessionaires are locally-owned vendors. In addition, 93-percent of the vendors have greater than a third of minority and/or women participation.

MAYNARD, Mass, May 10, 2011 – A journey that began nearly 30 years ago continues today for many Stratus customers with the release of Stratus OpenVOS 17.1, arguably the world's most reliable operating system for running mission-critical applications. The key feature of the new release is Stratus' implementation of the Java development language, named Kona for OpenVOS 1.0. Accompanying the software release is the launch of the fourth-generation ftServer V Series family of Intel Xeon-processor-based servers for OpenVOS applications.
VOS was originally released in 1982. While most of its contemporaries have fallen out of use, VOS-based applications are running today in securities trading, electronic card processing and authorization, manufacturing, gaming, telecommunications and other industries. Its reliability and Stratus' dedication to staying abreast of new technology ensure VOS' place of prominence in data centers around the world.
The new Kona for OpenVOS is based on Oracle's OpenJDK. This powerful programming language further demonstrates Stratus' commitment to providing open programming languages and tools for OpenVOS. Kona is provided with all OpenVOS 17.1 systems at no additional cost, and there is no service maintenance fee.
Also new in OpenVOS 17.1 is support for Dynamic Linked Libraries (DLL). This feature allows OpenVOS programmers to use shared program libraries at runtime. In conjunction, Stratus is also changing a number of Open Source layered products to adopt this shared programming model. Coincident with the OpenVOS 17.1 release, Apache with PHP and MySQL are being released using DLL in place of static-built executables. These programs have also been updated to the latest code base.
With OpenVOS 17.1, Stratus Technologies announced the V2204, V4408, and V6408 ftServer V Series fault-tolerant servers. These are rack-optimized, enterprise-class 4-core or 8-core SMP servers based on Intel Xeon quad-core 2.00GHz and 2.93GHz processors, depending on the model. Designed for data center environments that require maximum computing power for complex business-critical applications, the new models deliver significantly improved performance compared to the previous generation; the high-end V6408, for example, runs 26 percent faster than the predecessor V6308 system.
The new server family comes standard with OpenVOS version 17.1. OpenVOS 17.1 is a unified release of VOS that will be factory-installed on all four generations of V Series hardware; first generation (1G) – V100, V200, V400; second generation (2G) – V150, V250, V300, V500; third generation (3G) – V2302, V4304, V6308; and now the fourth generation (4G) – V2404, V4408, and V6408.
All software and hardware products are available for immediate order.


Virat Kohli is nothing less than a celebrity in India and I would say one of the most popular celebrity. From Bollywood to Hollywood he is friends with everyone, aggressive on the field but friendly otherwise. His versatility can be screen during the matches when he is raining sixes around the stadium and when he is modeling, acting and endorsing. Also, it seems like Virat has a knack for playing football and is an avid follower of the sport.
Recently, in one of his tweets, the captain of the cricket team wished luck to England's football team captain- Harry Kane and said "Wishing you a successful World Cup campaign @HKane!#WorldCupRussia2018 #HarryCan".
However, the wishes and prayers of many, including Virat, worked for the England football team. Kane scored two goals as England beat Tunisia 2-1 in their opening encounter. It was a World Cup debut to remember for the England captain. The match was as thrilling as one can imagine because, after the break, England struggled to maintain the intensity of the opening period and Tunisia looked more comfortable as they contained their opponents' attack until Kane's winner.
After their rough but victorious encounter with Tunisia, the captain of the winning team replied to Virat's tweet," Thanks Virat, not a bad start". these two gentlemen here portray the true meaning of sportsmanship and prove that the world can be united through sports.

Limbaugh Listeners are NRA Supporters
Support for the National Rifle Association (NRA) ranges from 76% of Rush Limbaugh's regular audience to 13% of regular readers of the New York Times. Similar proportions of the regular viewers of three other conservative talk show hosts — Glenn Beck, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity — also call themselves supporters of the NRA. A Pew Research poll conducted in September 2010 also finds audiences of Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow were less likely to support the NRA than were any other audiences — except for the readership of the New York Times. Overall, 40% of Americans say they are NRA supporters. The audience profile of NRA supporters is very similar to that of self-identified Tea Party supporters and Christian Conservatives. Read More

I have a new CD project, Rivers of the Land, that is not quite ready for duplication, but I have put up a couple of track samples below, One-Eyed Riverboat Gambler and River of the Ibis. This 8 month effort incorporates a mix of electronica and acoustic music for meditation, relaxation, and just plain enjoyment. Imagine yourself on a river cruise in the jungles of Central America, taking a ride on the Ibis steamer, while the sounds of the river life stream past. Its about imagination, feeling, taking a trip in your mind to other places and times. At least that is how I approach these tunes. I hope you will take the time to enjoy them.
The CD should be available for purchase on CD Baby after the first of the year, in 2019, in the meantime take a listen and look out for that bird cry near the end of Ibis. Its an actual field recording. More on that later.
Just completed a new CD for Grand Junction singer/songwriter Tammie Martin, titled Hidden Canyon (samples below). Tammie's original songs are evocative of the mysterious expanses and loneliness of the red canyon country around Moab and points east and west.
Her vocal style transports me to the backwoods of Kentucky or West Virginia, delivered fresh and uninhibited, while the live in the studio instrumentation is strictly down home, laid back bluegrass. The songs are backed up by local players Bob Eakle (mandolin and dobro), Lisa Eakle (banjo), with Jessica Cooper on violin, and yours truly adding some overdubs on fiddle, viola, mandola, harmonica, and electric bass.
The basic tracks were recorded by live sound engineer, Chris Bollman, at the unique public recording studio located in the Mesa County Public Library in Junction. I was pleased to be able to mix and master the tracks and produce the final CD. Hidden Canyon is available directly from Tammie, but if you are unable to catch her performances in the area, you can contact Barn Jazz and we can arrange for you to get a copy.
Our new studio in Littleton, CO is up and running and ready for recording projects, mixing, and demo mastering. More to come.
Just in time for the holidays, my latest CD project, Barn Jazz Vol. 3, "High Fiddility", is now available for purchase on CD Baby. You can buy individual tunes or the entire album, as well as audition clips of each of the tracks.
This collection of original fiddle tunes and songs completes the Barn Jazz trilogy, which began back in 2001 in my original Oracle, Arizona studio. Given the recent political seismic shift, think of this as a metaphorical "high" to help put it all aside while we endure the next 4 years. The photos were taken at over 11,000 feet at Boreas Pass, near Breckinridge, Colorado.
I believe music, particularly instrumental music, should be all about imagery and imagination. High Fiddility is a collection of mostly original instrumental tunes and a few quirky songs guaranteed to take you into the highlands of your imagination. This is the third in the "Barn Jazz" series of albums, beginning with Barn Jazz Vol. 1, in 2003, Barn Jazz Vol. 2, The Night of the Dancing Vegetables in 2012, and finally Vol. 3, High Fiddility.
"Barn Jazz" is my term for bluegrass in a tuxedo, or jazz in hip boots played at night when the cows have gone to bed. In essence this music knows no firm boundaries, has no walls, and requires only that you listen again and again for the details, for the sounds of the crossing the high country, or marching along the Grand Valley canals of Grand Junction. You may remember lost friends like Banjo Joe, and others who are no longer with you, while you wonder where they have gone. Maybe you had a first waltz, when you awkwardly held that young lady or gentleman, or shuffled off to the stars in sidereal time. Please enjoy this music when you work, when you play or travel, or when the lights are down low and the music is turned up. Please let me know what you think, I am always curious to find out if any of these tunes touch you in certain ways.
Barn Jazz has relocated to Littleton, Colorado. The wonderful studio space in Grand Junction has been decommissioned, while we are seeking better economic opportunities in the greater Denver area.
I am no longer accepting recording work for the near future, as I will be undertaking an intensive 5 month course in cybersecurity, beginning in mid-January. I will, however, be setting up a small composing and mixing studio in our new domicile, and will continue to accept small projects for mixing and post. I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks to all of those wonderful musicians in the GJ area with whom I have had the privilege to work.
After about 2 months work by myself and 2 local, talented workers, the isolation room is now finished. The area will serve as a drum room, vocal booth for voice-overs and singer-song writers, isolation for electric guitar cab recordings, etc.
The 9′ x 9′ x 8′ high room is (according to the experts) probably the worst shape you can have acoustically speaking (a cube), but with some good treatment from GIK and ATS, the sound inside is what I would describe as "neutral" for vocal and instrument work. It is not overly dead, nor is it reverberant. Hopefully it will sound good as a drum room as well.
The acoustic treatment consists of four GIK tri-traps (bass traps) in the back corners, four ATS 2″ rigid rock wool panels, 2′ x 4′, on the back and side walls, and an additional GIK 2′ x 4′ x 2″ panel (white) on the right side wall. The ceiling has a 5′ x 5′ cloud of 1′ Auralex foam wedges, fastened using 2 tubes of Auralex adhesive.
The area was originally a corner alcove that was open on one side. The left and rear interior walls back up to the house stem walls (as this is in a walkout basement), and the right wall is adjacent to the bathroom. We added a layer of 5/8″ Soundbreak board over the existing drywall to all three walls and the ceiling, using RC-1 resilient channel and soundproofing foam tape from SoundProofingSale.com to provide a buffer and air gap between the new and existing drywall.
A new front wall was constructed for the window, door, and patch panel, using wood frame and Soundbreak on both the interior and exterior of the frame, with sound proofing foam tape between the drywall and wood. We used 2″ rock wool fiberglass from Home Depot for insulation. Mike Miller constructed the wall and put up the drywall.
Soundbreak is very heavy gypsum board that is used as a replacement for standard drywall for sound studios, apartments, etc. It weighs about 86 lbs. per sheet, and is quite expensive ($70.00). It has an excellent STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of 53 – 60 when installed over both sides of a wood frame. We obtained this material, along with oodles of sound-proofing caulk, from a local Grand Junction vendor, Pioneer Materials. The floor is simple utility carpet and pad from Home Depot, over vinyl and concrete.
The window consists of two panes of laminated glass, one 1/4″, and one 3/8″, set into a shallow V-shape, with about a 3/4″ to 1″ air gap between them. We used Rod Gervais' book, "Home Recording Studio – Build It Like The Pros" for guidance on door and window construction.
The door itself is a very heavy solid core, 1 and 3/4″ thick, from Home Depot, with a door seal kit and threshold drop seal from Acoustical Solutions. Ron Standing made the window, built the door jamb, and installed the door and sealing kit. Because of the precise specifications needed for sound attenuation, this was a lengthy process covering several weeks.When the door is closed, the drop seal falls into place to seal the threshold and door bottom so that sound cannot leak under the door. The door jamb has rubber seal material attached to an aluminum backing. You know its pretty air tight when you close the door because you can hear the air squeezing out. It takes a bit of effort to close the door, which is good.
The patch panel is a through-the-wall set of jacks for 8 XLR microphone input/outputs and 4 TRS line input/outputs mounted in a black metal panel. I obtained the custom built and labeled panels from Redco.com, and then made a wood mounting box. I soldered up each side of the panel to their respective jacks, requiring 72 connections. I am really glad I had the proper tools for this (hint: resistance soldering station).The edges of the box were sealed with acoustic caulk, and the box interior stuffed with rock wool fiberglass insulation. Ron had special metal trim plates made locally for both sides of the box, to help hold it in place and provide a nice border. He then cut a hole next to the door and attached the box to a stud, and sealed the edges.
The total cost of construction was about $7200, with $4470 for materials and $2730 for labor, spread out over 2 primary work men (Mike Miller and Ron Standing), as well as two assistants and a carpet person. In addition to being the general contractor, I built the patch panel and did all of the painting (the easy stuff!).
Given that a similar-sized pre-fab isolation booth from WhisperRoom.com can cost from $10,000 to $20,000 plus shipping, this is a pretty good cost savings. The only thing missing is ventilation. Smaller booths require this, but given that the talent will be recording for short durations for the most part, the door does not have to remain closed for more than 15 or 20 minutes. Adding a vent system similar to that found in the DawBox.com design still may happen, but I did not want to risk compromising the sound isolation unless absolutely necessary.
The iso-room will help cut down on street and aircraft noise, which occasionally is an issue here. There is no such thing as "sound-proofing", but with the ability to attenuate sudden rumbles or loud jet noises will improve our recordings and cut down on re-takes.
Next up, I will be doing some SPL measurements inside and outside of the booth to chart just how well we are doing at sound attenuation.
We just finished a short 3-song project for the local Grand Junction band, Landslide, with Rick Cohee on electric guitar, Gary Schwark on drums, Theresa De Rush on keys, and Craig Kovalcik on bass.
This is a great example of a cover band doing it "live in the studio" for demo CD, something to give out to venue owners and booking agents. This very affordable project took only 8 hours to complete from recording setup to finished master. The final product was manufactured in house, with a full color printed CD in a clear plastic jewel case. Ready to rock a landslide!


Sustainability is our first priority.
By systematically applying our environmental management system, our processes are in compliance with the standard ISO 14001, from product development through procurement and production through to disposal and recycling. We expect our partners and suppliers to comply with these guidelines as well.
It is our ambition to implement the European Standard WEEE (2012/19 / EU), RoHS (2011/65 / EU) and REACH (1907/2006 / EC), and comply with their updates. Along our supply chain we only accept RoHS compliant processes from our partners and suppliers. The registration number WEEE-Reg.-Nr. DE 83955467 ascertains our compliance with WEEE and the German guideline "ElektroG".

Half of the non-chemical supplier companies doing business in Europe will be shut out of that market on Jan. 1. Are you one of them?
According to a survey published on July 22 by the Association Connection Electronic Industries (IPC) on REACH readiness, "only about half of the companies in the other industry segments [non-chemical suppliers] are taking … basic steps toward compliance."
REACH is a new European Community regulation on chemicals and their safe use. It deals with the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances. If you have not pre-registered all raw materials used in your products (for each intended use) by Jan. 1, 2009, you will not be able to sell your product in Europe. Please note that this sweeping legislation applies to both chemicals and articles such as electronics and electronic components.
In October 2001, the Dutch authorities determined that some peripherals supplied for use with Sony's PlayStation One game console contained one cable with cadmium levels above the limit allowed under Dutch regulations.
Although Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) had reservations regarding the interpretation of the applicable regulations, SCEE quickly initiated a plan to rectify the situation. The Dutch authorities gave the company until the end of March 2002 to fully complete the compliance process.
Through a series of aggressive remedial steps taken by SCEE, the company was able to resume shipments within Europe in mid-December 2001 after making modifications and securing appropriate peripherals. However, this disrupted supplies to retail partners and required Sony to rework several product models. This ultimately resulted in reduced revenue for the three months that sales were halted.
Companies that aren't prepared for the REACH legislation may find themselves in a similar situation – not being able to ship chemicals or products to Europe – and needing to scramble to get paperwork completed to resume shipments. In addition to potential revenue disruptions, they may also be facing fines. The EU has the right to fine companies who don't meet the deadlines.
Having to divert resources to complete REACH research and paperwork will put other work on hold. Only European companies are eligible to do the pre-registration process. So if your company doesn't have a European office, you'll need to find a company that will do the pre-registration for you. Finding a company can be time consuming. Hiring consultants may be very costly if you wait until the last minute or after Jan. 1 because they probably will be in short supply. Higher fees that may be incurred will divert money from other projects.
So if you haven't started the process of reviewing your chemicals or products to see if they need to be pre-registered, or haven't made it a top priority, you need to get started NOW.
If you buy components from suppliers to use in your products, you also need written confirmation from them that they have pre-registered the parts you purchase for your intended use. There are consultants in Europe and the United States who can help you with the process. If you need recommendations for companies to help you through this vital step to continue doing uninterrupted business in Europe, you could check trade publications or ask trade organizations or suppliers. Otherwise your 2009 sales forecast could take a sudden downturn.


After rumors spread that NBA player, Tony Parker had an affair with French model, Alexandra Paressant, Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria is sticking by her man. The newlyweds face the media this week when they returned to San Antonio, Texas on a commercial flight. The couple fired back at the paparazzi by displaying their affection for one another for anyone to see. Eva smooched her husband and made her signals very clear. I hope they can maintain their love for one another because they are a very cute couple.

...it may look as if nothing has been happening but au contraire, Rodney. Approaching the Manhattan Project in scale, the finest minds in audio have - we think - sorted out the issues between Spotify and After School Video Club. It's still theoretical as it will be a few days til the new versions are live, but if it works as I think it will, I can submit my paper to the Science journal, including the exciting formula that predicts what Spotify will do to any given track.
But that's not all! Wow! The album has also been remastered, so that really shouldn't be far behind now. And I think I've finally cracked the elusive Lost Songs video, along with a redo of the song itself. So June / July should be a lively time for the Club.
And finally, I forgot to tell anyone about the May Spotify playlist, with all that going on. While June will lean more towards the sunny 90s, this is a moodier and more reflective bunch including 80s contributions from The Cult, Propaganda and Heaven 17, alongside the likes of I Break Horses, PAWWS and Marriages. Dipping the occasional toe into goth waters here.
DOUBLE DIGIT SALES!
I'd like to thank my mum etc...
Actually I made sure my mum DIDN'T buy it. I was adamant only people buy the thing if they actually like it and want it, not because they were blood relatives and morally obliged. And people did... ten of 'em! Well, more if include all the tracks on the EP, but exactly 10 people paid actual real cash for the download. And thank you to all ten, without any one of you, we'd have failed to hit even this most pathetic of targets.
Everything has been rather on ice as a result of all this Spotify shenanigans (see the 8,000 posts below), so I haven't really been trying to get it Out There. On the final furlong now - which we've been on a number of times, admittedly - then the final, final version of There's Always Someone can be uploaded. The album won't appear til June at the earliest, but it will appear. Promise.
So. Time to set a new goal. Ten times more ambitious - TRIPLE DIGIT DOWNLOADS! Yes 100 or more. Of course, the devil is in the details, so I'm going to say album and single sales combined, by the end of the year.

Give to Smith
Celebrating a new chapter in the school's history: Welcome to Smith School of Business
Top: Students take selfies with a very approachable Stephen Smith. Bottom: Commerce students in front of banners outside Goodes Hall that dropped the moment Principal Woolf announced the school's new name.
$50 million gift from Queen's alumnus Stephen J.R. Smith recognized in the renaming of the business school
Kingston, ON — Oct. 1, 2015 There was a buzz of anticipation when students, faculty, staff and VIPs assembled in the Goodes Commons today for a "major announcement." The standing-room-only crowd erupted in applause and rose to its feet when Principal Daniel Woolf announced that Queen's alumnus Stephen Smith, BSc(Eng)'72, has donated $50 million, the largest gift ever made to a Canadian business school.
Mr. Smith addressed the crowd with humility and dry humour. He reflected on his Queen's experience as an electrical engineering student who gravitated towards economics in his choice of electives. He gave tribute to two former professors, former principal David Smith and Economics Professor Richard Lipsey, who encouraged him to continue his studies at the London School of Economics. Following his graduation from LSE, he embarked in a house-building business, which failed. "Some of life's greatest lessons are learned the hard way," said Mr. Smith. "My next venture went well, and it has one that has occupied my business interests for over 25 years." His businesses include First National Financial Corporation, Canada's largest non-bank lender of residential and commercial mortgages, and Canada Guaranty Mortgage Insurance.
"The remarkable endowed gift will support new chairs and professorships to attract and retain the best faculty, and new scholarships to continue to attract top students," said Dean David Saunders.
Get to know Smith and learn more about the impact of this truly transformational gift at smith.queensu.ca.

Brownsville Nixes Bags, Becomes Texas' Unlikely Green Leader
After a successful yearlong voluntary compliance period, Brownsville has said goodbye to plastic bags, becoming the first city in Texas to do so.
Brownsville became the first city in the state of Texas to successfully pass a plastic bag ban ordinance. Brownsville, one of the poorest cities in the state, wanted to cut down on the litter of plastic bags that has been termed "Texas wildflowers" or "Texas' new tumbleweeds" by tourists, according to Healthy Communities of Brownsville, an organization in favor of the ban. CommonDreams.org points out, "Although plastic bags didn't come into widespread use until the early 1980's, environmental groups estimate that 500 billion to 1 trillion of the bags are now used worldwide every year," and plastic bags "use up natural resources, consume energy to manufacture, create litter, choke marine life and add to landfill waste."
The ordinance set up a one-year voluntary compliance period, which ended in January 2011, as mandatory compliance began. It allows for the use of reusable cloth bags, approved biodegradable plastic bags and recyclable paper bags to be used in place of traditional plastic bags. Section 46-51 also sets up a seven-member advisory committee to oversee the implementation and enforcement of the new ordinance.
The ordinance (Ordinance Number 2009-911-E) lists reasons the ban was enacted:
The use of plastic shopping bags has a significant impact on the environment such as contributing to unsightly litter on the streets, sidewalks, beaches, clogging sewers and drainage systems, and polluting the [nearby] Resaca waterways.
Plastic shopping bags are difficult to recycle and currently contaminate material that is processed through Brownsville composting program.
Costs associated with the use and disposal of plastic shopping bags creates a burden on the city's solid waste disposal process.
Plastic shopping bags have significant environmental impacts each year, including felling of over 14 million trees, and use of over 12 million barrels of oil for bags in the U.S.
Plastic shopping bags cause the death of well over 100,000 marine animals.
The conclusion: It is in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of Brownsville to reduce the cost to the city of solid waste disposal, and to protect the environment by banning the use of plastic checkout bags. Read more about the ordinance here. The Texas Tribune reports that the ban has reduced the amount of bags going to landfills by 350,000 bags per day and, according to former mayor Pat Ahumada, Brownsville has gone from "littered and dirty to a much cleaner city." Brownsville's ban is making an impression statewide, as well: nearby South Padre Island will enact a similar ordinance in January 2012 and Fort Stockton in west Texas will enact its ban next month. San Antonio is in the midst of a year-and-a-half anti-bag pilot program. Other Texas cities, including major metros like Austin and El Paso, are considering or planning bag bans.

Q: Reading postgres tables in terminal with java Iḿ trying to build an application which collect all tables in my postgres db, by java code.
        Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su - postgres -c \"psql -p 8080 -l -t | awk '! (/^ / || /^ foo/ || /^ bar/) {print \\$1}'\"");

I filtered out some tables in the code (foo, bar) and I only want to collect table names.
This command runs without error in terminal, directly, but doesnt work by my application!
Complete Code:
  Process p1 = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("su - postgres -c \"psql -p 8080 -l -t | awk '! (/^ / || /^ foo/ || /^ bar/) {print \\$1}'\"");
    BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
        new InputStreamReader(p1.getInputStream()));

String line = null;
String result = "";
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
    System.out.println(line);
    result +=  line;
}

I've got no errors... But the result string is null
Someone who can help me out?
Thank you in advance

A: You cannot have double quotes within the exec, as Java does will not interpret it correctly. Try it like so, using this version of Runtime.exec:
 String[] myCommand = new String[] {"su", "- postgres", "-c" , "psql -p 8080 -l -t | awk '! (/^ / || /^ foo/ || /^ bar/) {print \\$1}" };
 Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(myCommand);

Police who want to follow suspicious cars or military commanders who need to distinguish friend from foe may be able to do so with optical tagging, using systems like those reported by John Coulter of Aerospace Corp. (Chantilly, VA) and James Jafolla of Surface Optics Corp. (San Diego, CA) at Aerosense (1–5 April; Orlando, FL; paper #4708-87). Taking advantage of the fact that license plates are retroreflectors, Coulter applied quarter-wave plates designed for 820-nm operation to the license-plate surface. Although clear in the visible spectrum, the waveplates show a clear mark to the appropriate detector when illuminated with near-IR light.
For proof of concept, Coulter used small rectangles of quarter-wave plate (Edmund Industrial Optics; Barrington, NJ). For a detector, he used a commercial camcorder. The silicon CCD detectors in camcorders are usually sensitive to about 900 nm, Coulter says, and manufacturers install filters to block near-IR wavelengths. The Sony camera he used offers the option of removing the filters and using near-IR LEDs to take shots in the dark.
Instead of the LEDs, Coulter performed his test with linearly polarized diode lasers emitting 30 mW at 830 nm to provide greater illumination. He tilted one laser to +45° from the horizontal to produce output polarized at 45° to horizontal and the other to –45°; beam switches allowed him to select one or both. He put a polarizing filter over the camera lens that could also be set at +45° or –45°. Setting the laser to +45° and the filter to –45° gave the best signature, he said, noting that the tags stood out clearly on the license plate at 200 ft. A narrowband filter on the camera prevented the license-plate lamps from washing out the signal. He is now experimenting with a 130-mW laser and may also try focusing the beam more narrowly in order to increase the distance at which the tags can be spotted.
"What we are trying to do is come up with a solution that is extremely low cost so that it could be used by as many law-enforcement agencies as possible," said Coulter. Though some agencies have expressed interest, he said they want the tag to be completely undetectable to the naked eye, rather than merely unnoticeable. He is investigating methods for achieving that goal.
Another way to tag vehicles would be to paint a clear coating on a window. Auto glass has a wide reflectance band centered around 9.5 µm. Researchers from Surface Optics Corp. (San Diego, CA) used spectral measurement software to identify a varnish with lower reflectivity in the 9- to 11-µm band, which provided a sharp contrast to the emissivity of unvarnished glass. "Anyone with a broadband imaging contraster will see that," said Jafolla. One possibility would be to use an inexpensive, uncooled microbolometer as a detector. It would be preferable, Jafolla said, to have a coating that stood out only in a very narrow band so that only people with the correct narrowband filter would be able to see it. He declined to discuss further details.
Antonio Cantu, chief scientist for the Forensic Services Division of the U.S. Secret Service, chaired the Aerosense session on forensic science and was interested in Coulter's presentation. Since the terrorist attacks of last September, research into surveillance technologies has picked up. "There's a lot of projects like that that were on the back burner and have now moved up to the front burner," he said.
Optical tagging technologies, such as inks in currency that fluoresce under UV light, are already in use, and others are being developed, though Cantu would not go into details for security reasons. "There's a big interest in trying to do the tagging remotely, but that is very difficult," he said.

Museo Novecento: Paolini, de Pisis and Vitone
Photographs, plaster casts, drawing paper, Plexiglas and a set of objects all appear in Giulio Paolini's exhibition at Museo Novecento.
by Martin Holman
Fri 22 Apr 2022 6:39 PM
For over 50 years, the work of leading Italian artist Giulio Paolini has featured the same materials. Photographs, plaster casts, drawing paper, Plexiglas and a set of objects, including a chessboard, globe and fabric, become participants in a conversation with the biggest themes of existence, time and history. They appear in Paolini's important exhibition at Museo Novecento. Each one is a container of sorts, not of physical objects but associations with the history of art, ideas and literature. At first, the work appears spare and frugal, eschewing colour and destination, but every element triggers thoughts that open into a potent structure of imagery. The only instrument needed to enter this journey is a pair of eyes and, in Paolini's words, "absolute devotion to the phenomenon, an ancient one, of seeing".

One of the first works on show is a large collage on paper subdivided into 15 panels, with each framed in hard reflective plastic. Three men are depicted, formally dressed in tails and top hats. The disarming title is Caduta Libera (suicida felice) (2018-19), a fate that seems to apply to the central figure, who is nose-diving into a square seen in perspective and crossed by diagonal lines. Is this a metaphor for the secret world of art? The man might represent the artist himself, free-falling into the space reserved for an image that is still vacant. The maker's search for narrative is beginning, just as it is for the viewer.
Giulio Paolini once said that "to be authentic, a work of art must forget about its author". Many visitors are used to finding the artist's life experience expressed in some way in the artwork. Yet Paolini remains strikingly detached from his own production. Instead he accords the artwork an active status alongside the artist and the viewer. The three are connected in an ongoing discussion, like participants in late-night television, trading perspectives and opinions, reaching for a conclusion. When asked to describe the artist's role, he replied that he is "someone who raises the curtain on a scene which awaits revelation".
Now 82, Paolini has been acknowledged as a leading figure in the international avant-garde for almost 60 years. One of the pioneers of Arte Povera, the 1960s trend in Italian art towards using non-traditional materials to build a direct relationship between visitors and artworks, he has exhibited in most major galleries across Europe, North America and Japan. An early exponent of what became known as "conceptualism", he remains immersed in the enigma of creativity rather than in representing reality. Familiar concepts of time or place do not apply: the museum, as a repository of centuries of continuous invention, slips into its own temporal dimension, parallel with the hurly-burly of everyday existence, but separate. Not surprisingly, the title of this exhibition is phrased as a question: Quando è il presente?
"Day after day," Paolini commented some years ago, "everything is renewed and repeats itself as the natural effect of the incessant becoming of things. In the Museum, by contrast, we can escape from the disquieting destiny marked by the passing of Time. This place seems to be caught in an eternity of its own: here hours, works and people belong to an instant that lives and renews itself through the same enduring illusion: to hold the end of Time in a specific image. 'Everything flows' as we know, yet nothing prevents us from turning our gaze elsewhere—without a place or date."

Installed in a former chapel in the museum building, Interno Metafisico (2021-22) alludes to two epochs that many describe as "golden ages": Antiquity, evoked by a modern plaster cast of a classical figurative sculpture, and the Renaissance, when science and culture advanced new theories about our inner and outer worlds. A globe maybe implies Galileo's discoveries; it is also a metaphor Paolini enjoys for the "totality" of knowledge that waits to be grasped. In the altar niche, duplicated facsimiles of Leonardo's scientific drawings fly up the wall once reserved exclusively for religious imagery. The opening opposite that once framed the chapel's door is now a glazed view outside of Santa Maria Novella and its piazza. Not only do museum visitors look out at people filling the sunny piazza to eat lunch, hurry past or access social media, the elements of this artwork also gaze outwards through the window. At the same time, outsiders peer in, so that two environments seem to interrelate but not touch.
Paolini made his first groundbreaking work in 1960 at the age of 19. He drew intersecting geometrical lines in ink on a gesso-covered canvas to square off the surface as a preliminary for composing a picture in perspective—and he left it at that. The resulting artwork, Disegno geometrico (1960), became his talisman. Freed from containing an image, the white canvas was not empty but waiting, fortified by a linear structure mastered in Florence by the Renaissance architect Filippo Brunelleschi. In a sense, all of Paolini's work exists at this point, a potent channel that keeps the vast heritage of culture permanently in circulation through re-use, quotation and inspiration.
Art invites its audiences into an illusion. That accounts for the profusion of "duplicates" in the galleries: plaster casts, copies, models and photographs that reproduce rather than originate. The effect is theatrical and Paolini has designed stage sets since 1969. For Maggio Musicale Fiorentino in 1999, he designed sets and costumes for the ballet derived from Pasolini's film Teorema, with music by Arvo Pärt, Henryk Górecki and others. A recorded performance is screened in this show. The stage is dominated by a gigantic screen that represents the perceived barrier between the outside world and the typical Italian family at the story's centre. Their guest is gradually revealed as a divine force and his presence shatters the illusion of their bourgeois life. At which point, the bare structure composed of empty frames falls down.
Installation view of Filippo de Pisis exhibition at Museo Novecento
Paolini is encountered in visual and philosophical dialogue with exhibitions by two Italian artists from different generations. The oldest is the Ferrara-born painter Filippo de Pisis, whose most important years occurred either side of WW2, spent in Paris and Italy. When he died in 1956, he was regarded as a modern master because his palette of light colours created astonishingly spare images of wistful, trembling fleetingness. His subjects were often flowers, emblems of transitoriness, but also banal details of home and landscape. With a light, speedy shorthand style, de Pisis registered simultaneously visual impressions and the feelings they stirred in him.
One parallel with Paolini lies in the studio's importance for both artists; another is their shared reverence for older art. De Pisis recalled the great still-life painter Chardin by exploring the materiality of everyday objects, whereas Paolini's concept of an artist as a channel for existing images in a timeless flux. That contention helps account for the temporary inclusion of work by Paolini in a cell at San Marco embellished by Fra Angelico.
The third artist on show responds to the sensation that neither older artist leaves space empty in his work; indeed, science confirms that matter, however miniscule, occupies every millimetre. Luca Vitone, born in 1964 in Genoa, Paolini's hometown, now lives in Milan (Paolini is a long-term resident of Turin) and a recurrent theme in his work is the idea of place, defined by inhabitants now and in the past, architecture and location, and by collective memory. To express the fluid energy he perceives in Paolini's practice, Vitone has made a painting, as tall as a man, with a uniformly grey surface mottled and inflected by specks and tiny fragments. It is composed entirely of dust collected from Paolini's studio, from its floor and surfaces, and mixed into a watercolour paint. Vitone captures not a likeness but the essence of his subject, portrayed in traces that circulate like thoughts in motion.

The official presentation of the 124th Argentine open HSBC Polo Championship at the Plaza del Obelisco in Buenos Aires. Following the Tortugas Open and Hurlingham Open, the third and final part of Argentine Triple Crown was played in the mecca of polo, at the stadium of Palermo.
The first tournament was held on 4th November, and will see 10 teams battle it out for the coveted title for the finals to be held on 2nd of December. It's going to be an interesting affair between the teams in one of the most important competitions in polo history.
The tournament has featured 2 zones namely zone A and zone B, out of which the winners of each zone would go head to head on the final which is scheduled to take place on 2nd December. The ball was set rolling for the first match on November 4 between La Irenita and Las Esquina Los Machitos, with La Irenita scoring total to 30.
The sunny afternoon of 5th of November that lead to the second day for the match (first for zone B) between Cuesta Yatay Colony and Chapaleufu Cardon where the former won by 18-8 and partially blurred the new record set by brothers Eduardo and Alberto Heguy. Meanwhile for court 1, Alegria Land Rover beat LD La Dolphina Polo Ranch by 17 to 12.
Due to new rules making the Triple Crown a more dynamic affair, the gap between matches will be slightly longer, so that spectators have the chance to enjoy every aspect of Palermo. The biggest point of highlight about this Argentine Open is that ticket prices will be same as they were in 2016 i.e. for 200 pesos.
Starting from the energetic matches for the tournament we are expecting for a great finale to be held next month.


Adelaide Acupuncture Vet operates within the Tea Tree Gully Veterinary Hospital.
Dr Nicole Taylor is certified in veterinary acupuncture through the International Veterinary Acupuncture Society (IVAS).
Dr Nicole graduated from JCU Vet School in 2011 and sparked an interest in acupuncture from 4th year.
In 2014 she did an introductory course and has since completed her full IVAS certification in 2017.
Dr Nicole is passionate about using all methods available to help her patients, particularly geriatrics and those suffering with arthritis.
It is a chemical free method of treating disease and disharmony in the body.
Acupuncture works by altering fascial planes and stimulating nerve pathways that travel through the spine and reduce the transmission of pain signals. 'Feel good' signals are also released in the spine and brain which also further the pain relief and have a relaxing effect. The local stimulation also promotes healing.
In terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture works by stimulating points on meridians or channels which represent patterns of 'energy' flow or 'Qi' (pronounced chee).
A padded mat is used on the floor or table for the pet to lie/sit on for the 10-20min treatment. The needles generally feel like a small 'tap' on the skin which most pets don't notice much. The tips of the needles are rounded so they push apart the tissue rather than cut it like a regular hypodermic needle. When the needle is in the right place a sensation of 'De Qi' may be felt as a dull ache which fades.
Following the sessions, pets may be a little quiet for 24hrs, then perk up. Or they may be initially brighter but settle after a few days.
Who can do acupuncture for pets?
Though human and equine acupuncture has been well established in China for thousands of years, it is only in the last 100 years that other companion animals have been treated.
Only registered veterinary surgeons with extra study in veterinary acupuncture can perform acupuncture. In Australia, the Australian College of Veterinary Acupuncture (ACVA) runs an IVAS accredited course which is where Dr Nicole got her certification.
