SYLFF Chamber Music Seminar 2006 at The Juilliard School
Barli Nugent
(The following is an excerpt from the SYLFF Newsletter No.15, May 2006)
Bärli Nugent
January 8th, 2006 was a dreary winter day, but the excitement in the arrivals hall of John F. Kennedy International Airport was palpable. A small group from Juilliard stood behind the barrier, straining to see the travelers emerging from the U.S. Customs section. Five young people had flown through the night from Vienna and landed an hour earlier; five more were soon due in on a flight from Paris. Any string or wind instruments in the crowd? We didn't know what the students looked like, and we were not sure they would spot the friendly but small, hand-lettered "Juilliard School" signs we were holding. We were eager to welcome them to New York for the start of a project that had been dreamed about and worked on for two years.
This project, later called in this, its inaugural year the 'SYLFF Chamber Music Seminar at The Juilliard School of the Ryoichi Sasakawa Young Leaders Fellowship Fund Fellows Mobility Program', marked the first collaboration in a landmark three-year series of exchanges involving the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris, the Universitat fur Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, and The Juilliard School. These exchanges have been designed to foster an educational and artistic experience that embraced the learning process at the heart of each institution. A 10-day chamber music seminar, hosted by each institution in turn during the three-year period, incorporated five students from each visiting institution into a chamber music event at the host school.
The seminar at Juilliard placed the 10 visiting students—from Austria, Bulgaria, France, Germany, Hungary, and Poland—into 4 chamber ensembles with 9 Juilliard students—from Canada, China, Germany, and the United States. These 4 ensembles joined 14 others that together made up the performers of ChamberFest 2006. ChamberFest is an opportunity for the serious chamber musicians at Juilliard to return to the school during the final week of the winter break for an intensive week of rehearsals and daily coaching on a substantial piece of chamber music. The second week of ChamberFest coincides with the reopening of the school, and the 18 ensembles perform in six concerts given during that week.
People continued to come from the U.S. Customs section in waves. When at last a tall young man emerged with a cello strapped to his back, accompanied by four other people carrying cases for violins, a bassoon, and a trumpet, we saw the looks of relief that spread across their weary faces as they spotted us, and we knew that the SYLFF fellows from the Universitat fur Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien had finally arrived. They were greeted in German by Juilliard graduate and cellist Sabine Frick, escorted to the waiting bus, and whisked off to Juilliard. Our five guests from the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris arrived shortly thereafter, easily identified by their cases for clarinet, trombone, violin, viola, and cello. This group was greeted in French by Juilliard graduate and harpist Sivan Magen, and then also whisked off to Juilliard. The 10 musicians settled into Juilliard's residence hall in rooms on the 22nd and 29th floors, which offer spectacular views of New York City and the nearby Hudson River, and then went for dinner in the school's cafeteria with the Juilliard students. I was profoundly moved by the enthusiasm and sincerity of our guests, and I was eager to see what their collaboration with our students would bring.
Days later, I found myself wandering about on Juilliard's 5th floor, delighted to hear strains of Charles Ives, Antonin Dvor˘ak, Igor Stravinsky, and recent Juilliard alumnus Jefferson Friedman emerging from the studios where the SYLFF ensembles rehearsed. The works by these four composers had been requested by the Juilliard students due to the latter's desire to share music that represented their own interests and Juilliard's chamber music traditions. As the days passed, students and faculty alike popped into my office during their breaks, with huge smiles on their faces as they described the joy of discovery, the exhaustion from the long hours of work they were undertaking, and the immense satisfaction of making new friends with each other. Juilliard cello-faculty member Bonnie Hampton perhaps expressed it best when she described the group she coached, saying,
"They were the best group I have had the pleasure of working with at Julliard in terms of attitude, and they were extremely fine players. The other remarkable thing is that they did not know each other at all prior to coming to the Juilliard program, but they worked together extremely well, seriously, and very professionally, and they also seemed to like and enjoy each other. Putting three unknowns together is always a "chance" and this one came up 'golden.' None of the musicians had played the Ives Trio before, and they were extremely open and receptive to working with his musical language. It was a real pleasure to work with this group."
As the days of preparation came to a close, the students joined in our traditional end-of-week ChamberFest Chinese banquet. The marble floors resonated with the laughter and ebullient talk of the 90 ChamberFest participants, who consumed endless trays of lo mein noodles (stir-fried, Cantonese-style egg noodles), sautéed bok choy (Chinese chard), kung po chicken (diced chicken sautéed with sweet peppers and peanuts in spicy pepper sauce), and tofu with mushrooms, among the more than 40 dishes offered. And as is traditional with the ChamberFest banquet, all of the leftovers were wrapped up and given to the students to take back to the residence hall to share in late-night snacking together. This traditional sharing of abundant food from another culture seemed to be a delicious and fitting way to mark the SYLFF exchange as the students prepared for their performance several days hence.
Violinist Elenore Darmon noted,
It [the seminar] was very beneficial because we were put into a situation that one often encounters in a musician's life: preparing in 10 days a work (contemporary in my case) without knowing one's partners, and working intensively in order to construct a unity of sound and intonation, and all the while exchanging approaches to the work and choosing an interpretation that pleases each person. And it was also very good for my English!
Juilliard percussionist Luke Rinderknecht remarked,
"Working with the students from Vienna and Paris was certainly an exciting learning experience. Our rehearsals were complicated by language challenges, but with perseverance we learned "L'Histoire du Soldat" and a little of each other's languages. Our concepts of sound were somewhat different, but through discussions about the educational and musical difference in our various countries I began to understand why that was so. It was a thoroughly fulfilling experience."
But it was clarinetist Maguy Girard who perhaps summed it up the best, when she said that she
"left home with my clarinets, new tour books, and a new pair of shoes. Result: my tour books are now dog-eared . . . and my shoes have no soles! And the most important thing: I exchanged magnificent musical moments with students from three different nationalities (American, Austrian, and Hungarian). It was during this kind of experience that one can truly realize that music is universal, and especially that it is a language: one can communicate and share emotions without speaking the same verbal language."
For me, being given the opportunity to observe these collaborations, it was a joy to meet the young people from Europe, entrusted to Juilliard for a too-brief period of time, to see the friendships that began within our walls, and to hear the indescribably beautiful music that resulted. I have also been privileged to make new musical friends myself: early-morning phone conversations across the Atlantic with Paris Conservatoire Deputy Director for External Affairs and Communication Gretchen Amussen introduced me to a soul mate in dreaming and planning for this project, and countless exchanges of e-mail messages with Vienna University's distinguished professor Wolfgang Klos, whose generosity and energy marked this collaboration. I also gained new friends at The Nippon Foundation and other affiliated organizations: Mr. Yohei Sasakawa, Mr. Tatsuya Tanami, Ms. Kazuko Shiomi, Ms. Ellen Mashiko, Mr. Keita Sugai, and Ms. Takako Nakayama, who bestowed upon Juilliard the honor of their presence at the concert of the SYLFF Chamber Music Seminar at The Juilliard School. Their vision, hailed by Juilliard President Joseph W. Polisi, to nurture future leaders who will transcend geopolitical, ethnic, cultural, religious, and other boundaries for the betterment of humankind has found a home in the performing arts communities of the Vienna Universitat, Paris Conservatoire, and The Juilliard School.
The days passed far too quickly. As the students in turn strode onstage before the packed hall and shared their music, the audience cheered their approval, and I began to dream of the next exchange: Paris in January 2007. It cannot come too soon.

Q: Classes and Instances in C++/CLI I have been using C#.net for a very long time, recently I decided that it would be beneficial to switch to C++/CLI.  So, I decided to get a converter and convert one of my larger projects to C++/CLI, I found a pretty good converter, there was just a few BIG problems:
For every non-static class that I had in my C# project, the compiler came up with an error whenever the code was making a new instance of it.  "Missing type specifier - int assumed..." All of the classes are titled public ref class ClassName : BaseClassName
This is also very confusing because the classes that were supposed to be static and the classes that weren't supposed to be static are both titled like this.
The converter also left comments in places in the code that say this:
//C++ does not allow initialization of non-static fields in their declarations:
these are always in one of my original non static classes and are always followed by
Type VariableName or Type ^VaribleName
So since obviously I don't understand how C++/CLI classes work, my question is:  What are the differences in dynamic classes in C# and C++/CLI?  How do I make a dynamic C++/CLI class and what could I be doing wrong? Why are all of the classes, weather static or not in C#, prefixed with "ref" in C++/CLI?  Also, by any chance, does this have anything to do with having multiple classes in one file?
If you need more information please tell me.

A: You'll need to understand C++/CLI in order to really make sense of the code the converter creates.
Basically, in C++/CLI, ref class is a C# style class.  A normal class (without ref) is a native C++ class definition.
When converting from C#, all C# class declarations will end up as ref class since they are a managed (.NET) class.
The comments of //C++ does not allow initialization of non-static fields in their declarations are because you can't have a class which defines its member inline in C++/CLI.  For example, this C#:
class Foo
{
    private int test = 3;
}

Would need to be translated to C++/CLI using a constructor:
ref class Foo
{
private:
    int test;
public:
    Foo()
    {
       test = 3;
    }
};

New Music Friday: Charlie Puth, GAYLE, Masked Wolf, Anne-Marie, Daya, Madonna and Carly Rae JepsenNew Music Friday: Charlie Puth, GAYLE, Masked Wolf, Anne-Marie, Daya, Madonna and Carly Rae Jepsen
By | September 16, 2022 | Comments Off on New Music Friday: Charlie Puth, GAYLE, Masked Wolf, Anne-Marie, Daya, Madonna and Carly Rae JepsenNew Music Friday: Charlie Puth, GAYLE, Masked Wolf, Anne-Marie, Daya, Madonna and Carly Rae Jepsen
It's Friday! Let's see who's out with new tunes…
Charlie Puth is out with "I Don't Think I Like Her," a song about dealing with trauma from a past relationship and how it's affecting his ability to find happiness.
GAYLE teamed with blackbear for the chaotic duet, "fmk." The two also teamed for an animated music video. The single is part of GAYLE's new EP, a study of the human experience volume two, out October 7.
"Astronaut in the Ocean" rapper Masked Wolf is out with "Sailor on the Moon," which features hip-hop artist IDK and KayCyy. Masked Wolf talks about his rise to fame, rapping, "Started in the ocean but I'm still holding the flag/ Sailor on the moon waving back, I had to land."
Anne-Marie teamed with Aitch for the spiteful breakup anthem "Psycho." She said in a statement, "This song was inspired by personal experience. I was once in a situation where the guy I was seeing was gaslighting me when I suspected he was cheating on me, which he was!"
Daya released the EP In Between Dreams and two new visuals for "New Romantics" and "See You In My Dreams." "The songs on the new EP deal with that gray area in between dreams and reality," Days said of her new offering, adding she uses music to "find my own voice and identity."
Madonna dropped a new remix of "Hung Up" featuring Dominican rapper Tokischa, which she first performed in June as part of her Pride celebration. The track is slowed and more rhythmic, channeling an electronic Reggaeton vibe.
Carly Rae Jepsen released "Talking to Yourself, the third single from her album The Loneliest Time. "This is not a revenge song, but its not NOT a revenge song either," she tweeted.

Q: VB.NET How to do changes to rows selected using LINQ? I have the following code which selects some rows using LINQ depending on some conditions.
    Dim cname
    Dim Category
    Dim cprice

    Try
        For i = 0 To mainDatatable.Rows.Count - 1
            cname = mainDatatable.Rows(i)("cname")
            Category = mainDatatable.Rows(i)("ccategory")
            cprice = mainDatatable.Rows(i)("cprice")
            Dim nameparts() As String = cname.Split(New String() {" "}, StringSplitOptions.None)
            Dim query = From products In mainDatatable.AsEnumerable()
                        Where products.Field(Of Integer)("ccategory") = Category And products.Field(Of Double)("cprice") = cprice And products.Field(Of String)("cname").Contains(nameparts(0)) And products.Field(Of String)("cname").Contains(nameparts(1))
                        Select products
            If query.Count > 1 Then
                'then i want to do some changes to those rows
            End If
        Next
    Catch ex As Exception
        MsgBox(ex.Message)
    End Try

The code is working perfectly but I need to do changes on the selected rows. I'm not sure how to do it, for example i have a column called gprice and I want it to set it to some value for all the selected rows and save changes to mainDatatable ,would aprreciate your help.
To make it clear, suppose the row count in the query  is 6 then I want to make all the values for some column in the query = 1 and then update the values of the selected rows in the mainDatatable
------update
If you don't get it forget the above code and here is what I am trying to do
-Ii have a datatable it only have 2 columns product name and product price, now there are products with same name but different colors
-I want to group those products by pharsing the string name and check for other products with identical words in the name, only one word is allowed to differ which is the color,
-Also the price have to be the same between the products in that group and this is what the above LINQ code does and it does it perfectly
-My problem is i have added a third column called groupnumber, I want to add 1 for each product in the 1st group, 2 for each product in group 2nd and so on.

Medical Malpractice Attorneys File Lawsuit Related to Robot
The plaintiff, Jennifer Silvestrini, filed a medical malpractice lawsuit at the end of September in Orleans Parish Civil District Court against the defendants, Intuitive Surgical Systems Inc. and University Healthcare Systems, also known as Tulane University Hospital and Clinic. The defendants elected to remove the case to New Orleans federal court in late October. Medical malpractice attorneys claim that a robotic surgical procedure failed during Silvestrini's neck surgery.
Malfunction of Robot Occurs during Surgery
The plaintiff was scheduled for a robotic trans-axillary total thyroidectomy which was set to be performed by Dr. Emad Kandil. Unfortunately, during the procedure, there was an unexplained malfunction of the device and neither the staff nor the doctor could fix the problem on site. Even more unsettling was a contract and agreement that Intuitive Surgical Systems agreed to, which was to ensure that they had available service personnel ready so that there could be a rapid troubleshooting procedure in the event the device malfunctioned. When Ms. Silvestrini was undergoing the procedure and the breakdown occurred, the medical staff was unable to contact anyone from Intuitive Surgical Inc. to fix the problem.
Lawyers claim that the manufacturer of the robotic device failed to maintain the robot at issue, failed to properly train personnel on the use of the equipment, and failed to dispatch a technician in a timely fashion when Silvestrini was undergoing the operation. The hospital has been accused of failing to maintain the robot, failing to have properly trained personnel, failure to have an adequate arrangement with Intuitive Surgical Systems, and failing to employ an emergency technician who could respond rapidly in the case of a foreseeable emergency while the patient was undergoing surgery. The plaintiff seeks damages for physical and mental pain and suffering, medical expenses, interest, and court costs.

Christian woman tied to tree and beaten over land dispute
Fri Jan 06 2023 by Tola Mbakwe
A religious persecution watchdog has reported that a Christian woman in Mexico has been left in a critical condition in hospital after she was tied to a tree and severely beaten.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide (CSW) said the 21st December incident happened after Maria Concepcion Hernández from the Huejutla de los Reyes Municipality visited a plot of land that she owns after her neighbour asked her to cut down two trees.
She's a member of the Great Commission Baptist Church in the community of Rancho Nuevo, and according to CSW, local authorities have banned members of the religious minority from accessing their land or growing crops on it since 2015.
CSW's head of advocacy Anna Lee Stangl said: "The life of a woman hangs in the balance and a community is living in fear because, despite ample evidence of serious violations of freedom of religion or belief (FoRB) in Rancho Nuevo for more than seven years, the Mexican authorities have failed to intervene.
"Instead, Hidalgo State government officials, under the previous governor, have for years publicly denied the existence of cases of religious intolerance in the state. We hold these authorities, alongside those directly involved in the attack, responsible for the events of 21 December".
CSW reports that the Hernández's pastor was physically attacked when he tried to stop the beating and was detained for two hours. Local leaders also demanded that he give them the deeds to ten plots of land belonging to members of the Baptist church. When the pastor refused, the leaders threatened to take over the land by force. Meanwhile, villagers have not been allowed to visit Hernández in hospital.
CSW said the situation is one of many freedom of religion or belief violations happening in the predominantly Roman Catholic area of Rancho Nuevo.
Other violations include forcing religious minorities to participate in Roman Catholic festivals, and it they refuse, they could be detained, beaten, refused medical care, fired form their jobs and more.
Stangl added: "We call on Governor Julio Ramón Menchaca Salazar to ensure that his administration takes swift action to bring to justice those responsible for this brutal attack and the ongoing threats against members of the religious minority in Rancho Nuevo. We urge Governor Menchaca Salazar to work closely with the state human rights commission and federal religious affairs officials to put in place policies that recognize the existence of serious FoRB violations in Hidalgo and develop effective and timely ways to address them in accordance with Mexico's legal protections for human rights."
No arrests have been made in the incident.

Sturgeon Electric Restores Power to Wichita, Kansas with Quick Response to Westar Energy Storm Work
When a thunderstorm packing 100 mph winds whipped Wichita, Kansas, on April 3 and knocked out power for more than 70,000 customers of Westar Energy, MYR Group subsidiary Sturgeon Electric Company, Inc. (Sturgeon Electric) quickly deployed crews from Colorado and Kansas to several hard-hit sections, including a 3 1/2-mile stretch along South Webb Road, where the storm snapped utility poles as if they were twigs.
Severe thunderstorms produced damaging winds across central and south central Kansas on the night of April 2 – 3rd.
"Every pole was on the ground," said MYR Group Regional Safety Manager Kevin Martin. "There was wire everywhere. It was a mess."
Harvey Scott, whose home on South Webb Road lost power during the storm, was stunned by the wreckage.
"I didn't notice that all the poles were down until I got out here and looked," Scott said. "All these poles in each direction were laying down across the road. It was unbelievable."
The job demanded not only quick thinking and careful planning, but solid team-building among Sturgeon Electric crews from two separate locations: the company's headquarters in Henderson, Colo., and the office in Topeka, Kansas.
Sturgeon Electric opened the Topeka office last year after signing a seven-year contract with Westar Energy, which operates and coordinates 35,000 miles of transmission and distribution lines and serves nearly 700,000 customers in east and east-central Kansas from energy centers that generate more than 7,000 megawatts of electricity;
"We're in the relationship-building stage with Westar Energy," said Mark Sterkel, Sturgeon Electric Regional Vice President, Colorado. "Integrating our Colorado and Kansas crews was very important for building and maintaining a safe, productive workforce that acts as one highly effective team."
The crews immediately got to work, demonstrating professionalism, expertise and teamwork, proven by the speed at which the new poles were erected.
Journeyman Lineman Josh Wanrow appreciated the treatment his Colorado crew received from the client, Westar Energy.
"In one day we set 57 poles," said Foreman Josh Wanrow. "We had cranes and elevator buckets setting behind us. We had two production diggers ahead of us, and they could barely stay ahead."
Underground lines feeding power to various businesses also had to be repaired.
Thanks in large part to the 100-percent support provided to the crews by Westar Energy, the Class II 75' to 95' poles had been replaced at three different locations within four days, and the 115 kV transmission lines on the top section and the 13.2kV distribution underbuild had been strung and energized.
"Every time we've come to work for Westar, we've been treated with great respect; they've always taken care of us," said Wanrow. "Every time you go out on a job, they tell you they will get everything you need to do the job safely."
Sterkel praised both the support from Westar and the overall performance of the crews as "stellar."
"The great planning, coordination and execution by all involved goes back to the quality and professional attitude of the employees that were doing the work," he said. "It was very important to us to provide this service to Westar Energy and their customers, and most important, every employee made it back home to their families and loved ones safe and sound."
Sturgeon Electric crews replaced approximately 86 poles at three different locations in a four day period.
Every pole along a 3 1/2-mile stretch of S. Webb Rd in Wichita was affected by the 90 mph winds.

More than 100 Sturgeon Electric line workers from Colorado and Kansas converged on the city of Wichita.

Nitin Khanna seeks to bolster the small business atmosphere of Portland, Oregon. The former co-founder of Saber Corp, which sold for $420 million in 2007 to Electronic Data Systems, is now the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of MergerTech.
MergerTech is an investment firm that specializes in mergers and acquisitions of technology companies with a valuation of between $10 million and $200 million. To put it simply, MergerTech matches sellers with buyers across a global network of technology companies.
Nitin Khanna began the company with his brother and Chief Operations Officer (COO), Karan Khanna, after spinning the company off from Martin Wolf Securities, which was previously simply a subsidiary.

A Piano Listening To Itself – Nordheim Variation
In 1971, on commission from the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation, Arne Nordheim composed what could be described as an installation work for piano, Listen, dedicated to the Hungarian-Danish pianist Elisabeth Klein. Nordheim used extremely high and extremely low pitches to explore the piano's sonority, where listening itself is the focus of attention and where monotonous repetition of some motifs subsequently create their own space in time. The echo effects and fading sounds offer a range of options for the interpretation, and for the listener, too.
The Canadian sound artist Gordon Monahan, born in 1956, is a pianist, composer, and sound artist. Here he takes Nordheim's piece and gives it a totally new meaning, by 're-composing' note sequences from the original work and plays it through an amplification system that transmits the sounds down long piano strings suspended from the left tower of Oslo City Hall.
In the early 1980s, Monahan performed John Cage's Etudes Australes, and composed a work related to Listen called Piano Mechanics, which similarly employs the piano's inner mechanics. Many of his subsequent sound sculptures and installations explore the phenomenological qualities of sound. His works often make use of vast spaces and formats, as in Piano Airlift from 1988/2006, where a piano is lifted and moved with the help of a helicopter, or in A Piano Listening to Itself – Chopin Chord from 2010, where six long piano strings runs from a tower high up in the royal castle in Warsaw to a piano positioned in the square below, and where fragments of different works by Chopin vibrate through the strings inside the piano.

US@: instaPoll: Should an independent special counsel be appointed to lead the IRS investigation?
instaPoll: Should an independent special counsel be appointed to lead the IRS investigation?
In May of this year, Lois Lerner, the former Director of the Internal Revenue Service's tax-exempt division, was held in contempt of Congress for her refusal to testify regarding her role in an IRS scandal where government officials targeted politically active conservative groups for increased scrutiny on applications for tax-exempt status.
As a part of ongoing Congressional probes, a formal request for Lerner's email records was made. However, the IRS - responding to these requests - claimed a crash of Lerner's computer hard drive and the recycling of backup tapes as reasons for their inability to provide the records to Congress.
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen recently testified that he learned about a problem with Lerner's computer in February and about the missing emails in April; however, the IRS did not notify Congress of the problem until June.
In response, Congressman Forbes called not only for an independent special counsel to lead the investigation, but also for independent computer forensics investigators to recover this critical information.
Question of the week: Do you believe an independent special counsel should be appointed to lead the IRS investigation?

Q: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL and SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG with a specific ISP only When accessing https://mcgillcrm.com some users are seeing this in chrome: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL and this is firefox: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
But it only happens when they access the site through a specific ISP (Videotron).
When the site is accessed via a hotspot or when connected to a different ISP it works fine and it also works if the user is using Windows machine instead of a Mac.
I verified SSL labs, checked port 443 and compared against another site where it doesn't throw this error and everything seems fine.
We have a 301 redirect towards https and I double checked that users really type https:// when accessing the web-site, but it still doesn't work.

How is the connection done to the ISP vs. how is the connection done to a different ISP or mobile network

*

*Mac user connects to the wireless modem: SSL errors come up

*Mac user connects to the wireless mobile hotspot: No error comes up

Update 12 Oct 2022
We re-installed a new certificate from scratch and this one is not showing 'self signed' anywhere. Will see if it helps.

A: HTTPS is end to end encryption and integrity protection. It should not depend on the ISP used by the client. If it is specific only to the ISP or specific clients then something is messed up at their end, like some middleboxes or antivirus interfering with the connection, a captive portal asking the client to acknowledge some rules first, DNS resolution pointing to a different IP then yours etc. There is nothing you can do from the server end against this, since maybe the server is not even reached by the client.

A: Problem turned out to be with safebrowse.io which was somehow caching the incorrect certificate (clearing SSL cert in chrome didn't help).
It in turn affected other browsers also like Firefox. So once the incorrect cert was cached it flagged it globally as an unsafe site..
It looks like it was cached inside the logged in users chrome profile (Google Workspace account).
Solution was to login as Guest > Go to web-site > Click 'Proceed anyway' > Restart Chrome

This looks like a serious design flaw with safebrowse.io, why/how it caches SSL certificates in Chrome profile is unclear. This should have worked while accessing the web-site in Chrome incognito but it didn't..

Sky News host Sharri Markson says Prime Minister Scott Morrison has not 'entirely given up hope' in the lead-up to the federal election, following in-depth research into marginal seats in each state. Ms Markson says the vote in a third of the country's marginal seats is 'soft', meaning a third of people in these seats are undecided on the party they will back. Ms Markson says the federal Liberals have 'drawn up a hit list of seats' that the party believes they could win.

March Cover Revealed: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
by Adam Biessener on February 04, 2013 at 11:00 PM
Our March cover story gives a world-exclusive peek into the next generation of RPGs with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. This standalone sequel takes the fascinating stories and characters, non-linear plotlines, and difficult decisions that the franchise is known for and puts them all in an open world 30 times larger than the previous game – an enormous setting even larger than Skyrim's vast expanse, made possible with the new REDengine 3 technology that developer CD Projekt RED is debuting with the game. Our huge feature dives into everything The Witcher 3 has to offer, and it's a lot: the detective work that precedes deadly combat when monster hunting, storylines that weave and twist together between political intrigue and otherworldly menaces, and a tired hero who wants to set things right but can't put down his swords until his conscience allows – if it ever does.
Coming in 2014 on PC and "all high-end platforms available" (CD Projekt RED isn't saying flat-out that it's a next-gen game, but it's a safe bet that new console announcements in the coming months will define the term "high-end platform"), The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt stretches from stormy islands to war-torn forests and a sprawling dark fantasy metropolis without a loading screen anywhere to be found.
Above: Check out our trailer for the month of Witcher 3 online coverage we have planned.
The March issue doesn't stop with The Witcher 3, though. Six pages of Matt Bertz's thoughts after playing several hours of BioShock Infinite give as spoiler-free of an account as possible. A deep look at how Disney is crossing the physical/digital divide across all of its properties in Disney Infinity follows. A little property called Star Wars is coming to Zen Studios' pinball empire, and we have the exclusive story on that as well. We've also got an in-depth feature digging into how video game writers work, with insights from Gary Whitta (The Book of Eli, The Walking Dead) and Corey May (Assassin's Creed series) among others. Finally, our previews run the gamut from Jon Blow's The Witness to Splinter Cell Blacklist and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, so you've got plenty to look forward to in 2013.
As always, you can click into the cover below for the high-resolution image featuring Geralt and someone CD Projekt RED has asked us to keep a secret for now.
Print subscribers should start seeing their March issues in the next two weeks. If you can't wait that long to get the full details on The Witcher 3 and the rest of the content (don't worry, we understand), you can subscribe to our digital issue – which can be accessed by subscribers via web browser, iPad, or Android devices around 2 p.m. Central Time. Check our Twitter feed to find out the moment the digital edition of our March book goes live, and don't forget to update your apps in the meantime.

@That video: Did that guy said this will be the conclusion of the trilogy? I hope it doesn't mean the end of The Witcher games.
From the list of changes/improvements:
-Press the left trigger to turn on Geralt's witcher senses. I hope this doesn't mean that they are developing it with a gamepad as the main input device.
-The team is deciding between using a handful of in-combat special moves for particular attacks and a slow-motion quick-time event style. So between what the style they had in the first or the one in the second? I may be the minority, but I liked the style of the first one.
Also, a change I don't see mentioned is the menu/inventory. I really dislike it in The Witcher 2 and I hope they change it too.
Anyway, very excited about this news. I'm sure it will be a great game.

WE have adduced many instances of the hardness of heart, and contempt of the commandments of God, in men who have undergone the last sentence of the law; but we are of opinion that in this female will be found a more relentless heart, in her last moments, than any criminal whom we have yet recorded.
Hannah Dagoe was born in Ireland, and was of that numerous class of women who ply at Covent Garden Market as basket-women, to the excusion of poor Englishwomen. In the pursuit of her vocation she became acquainted with a poor and industrious woman of the name of Eleanor Hussey, who lived by herself in a small apartment, in which was some creditable household furniture, the remains of the worldly goods of her deceased husband. Seizing an opportunity, when the owner was from home, this daring woman broke into Hussey's room and stripped it of every article which it contained.
For this burglary and robbery she was brought to trial at the Old Bailey, found guilty, and sentenced to death.
She was a strong, masculine woman, the terror of her fellow-prisoners, and actually stabbed one of the men who had given evidence against her; but the wound happened not to prove dangerous.
On the road to Tyburn she showed little concern at her miserable state, and paid no attention to the exhortations of the Romish priest who attended her. When the cart, in which she was bound, was drawn under the gallows, she got her hands and arms loose, seized the executioner, struggled with him, and gave him so violent a blow on the breast that she nearly knocked him down. She dared him to hang her; and in order to revenge herself upon him, and cheat him of his dues, she took off her hat, cloak and other parts of her dress, and disposed of them among the crowd. After much resistance he got the rope about her neck, which she had no sooner found accomplished than, pulling out a hand kerchief, she bound it round her head and over her face, and threw herself out of the cart, before the signal was given, with such violence that she broke her neck and died instantly.
This extraordinary and unprecedented scene occurred on the 4th of May, 1763.

Q: ping echo request interval changes when there is no echo reply I am pinging server2 (ip:2.2.2.1) from server1 (ip:1.1.1.1) at an interval of 1ms with flooding, using the command:
ping 2.2.2.1 -i 0.001 -f
I am expecting to see ping requests leaving server1 every 1ms, which happens as long as there is a reply for the respective request, but if there is no reply for some echo request sequence, the interval of ping echo request packets changes to 10ms, then when reply resumes the interval changes again to 1ms. Is there a way to keep the ping interval to 1ms even if there is no reply?
I went through some of the ping options but don't find one that will prevent the interval change from happening. Both servers are on centos 7.
Thanks in advance.

A: From man ping:
   -f     Flood ping. For every ECHO_REQUEST sent a period ``.'' is printed, while for ever ECHO_REPLY received a
          backspace is printed.  This provides a rapid display of how many packets are being dropped.  If  inter-
          val is not given, it sets interval to zero and outputs packets as fast as they come back or one hundred
          times per second, whichever is more.  Only the super-user may use this option with zero interval.

So when packets don't come back fast enough, the "one hundred per second" gets smaller than response time, and the next packet is sent after 10ms. So, it seems that flooding of one ping cannot be faster than this. My first simple thought would be to run many commands, this could be more flooding:
for i in {1..10}; do ping -f 2.2.2.1 & done

Sherlock Does It By The Book.
The first in a series of tie-ins to the hugely successful Sherlock TV drama series was published by BBC Books on 15 September 2011. Stars Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman are very much in evidence on the front cover of A Study in Scarlet and there's an introduction by writer Steven Moffat. Coming up next month is The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, with Mark Gatiss doing the intro. These are the original stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, by the way, not the TV stories. http://www.thebookseller.com/news/bbc-books-develop-series-around-tvs-sherlock.html
'The Voices Of Holmes & Watson.'
'Through the 1950s and 1960s Carleton Hobbs and Norman Shelley were the voices of Holmes and Watson,' writes Roger Johnson in the latest District Messenger (no.315, September 2011). Last year twelve of these classic recordings became available on audio CD and now there's another batch to savour – The Carleton Hobbs Sherlock Holmes Further Collection. Of particular interest to members of the Crew is the inclusion of The Adventure of the Cardboard Box.
These recordings are available from www.audiogo.co.uk ('the home of BBC audiobooks') and the usual sources.

SH2 – Bigger, Better And Ballsier!
"My collection of M's is a fine one," said he. Two key elements in the storyline of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows start with the letter M – Moriarty and Marriage. The former might be self-explanatory, the latter concerns Watson's efforts to tie the knot. M also stands for Mycroft, of course, with Stephen Fry stepping into the role of Sherlock's older brother. Much of the aforementioned was sourced from Empire magazine which has an 8-page spread on the new movie in its latest issue (October 2011) . You shouldn't need a magnifying glass to pick it out on the newsstand with Robert Downey Jr. staring out from its front cover. Remember this SH2 issue is only on sale until 28 September 2011. http://www.empireonline.com/magazine/.
Conan Doyle: The Unknown Novel Published At Last.
The Narrative of John Smith, Conan Doyle's first novel, is being published for the first time on 26 September 2011. The publisher is the British Library which is mounting a display in conjunction with the event. The novel can be ordered directly from the BL's website for £9.95 and is also obtainable from other booksellers (Amazon.co.uk has it for £9). An Audio book is available at £20 and for those with deep pockets there's a leather bound edition at £100. http://www.bl.uk/whatson/exhibitions/acdoyle/index.html.

A Learning Skills Project
Various venues across London, 12-14 July 2010
THE CHALLENGE was a two-month programme divided in three parts, which aims to 'inspire a generation of young people to lead social change'. Dende Collective was one the organisations selected to deliver the second part of the programme called Team Challenge. This was a three-day project where each day the young 15 to16 year olds were learning new skills in the morning and then serving their community in the afternoon. The project culminated in a Festival where all the teams working that summer gathered together to showcase their new acquired skills.
The young people learned how to make puppets, tell stories and make a show using them. They applied these skills delivering their own workshop delivered at an elderly day centre in Hammersmith, a primary school in Berdmonsey and by presenting a 15/20-minute show at a larger evening community event in West London.

Q: unicodedata.normalize() is not working using Selenium in python HTML:

        Tim Cook
        Apple CEO

        Sundar Pichai
        Google(CEO)

Code:
applicationHeader = [td.text

OUTPUT:
['Apple CEO' , 'Google(CEO)']  // Need to remove special characters.

I tried below code:
applicationHeader = [unicodedata.normalize("NFKD", td.text)
                     for td in webBrowser.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@class="wpsTableShdRow" and text()!=" "]')]

OUTPUT:
['Apple CEO' , 'Google(CEO)'] // special characters are not removed

How to remove special characters using unicodedata?
I know that td.text.replace(' ',"").replace("(","").replace(")","") will work. but i don't want to use this method.

A: applicationHeader =[re.sub('[^A-Za-z0-9]+', '', td.text) for td in webBrowser.find_elements_by_xpath('//td[@class="wpsTableShdRow" and text()!=" "]')]
print(applicationHeader )

use regex , normalize is not to remove special characters


Stukenberg said the Case 590 backhoe was purchased new by the company sometime in the mid-2000s for about $125,000 and is insured. He said the backhoe was locked, but one key runs all Case backhoes, unlike passenger vehicles. Stukenberg said newer models are equipped with GPS tracking systems to help prevent theft of the heavy equipment.
He said a report was made with Belleville police, and DMS' insurance was notified, and a report was also made with Case. Belleville police did not immediately return requests for comment.
Maybe thieves hid the backhoe and tractor-trailer somewhere nearby, Stukenberg said, and company employees have looked for it.
"They've got a lot more hiding spots," he said glumly of the thieves.
The company will bring another backhoe to the Hofbrauhaus to finish the job.
The Belleville City Council on Monday granted the Hofbrauhaus German restaurant and brewery a liquor license. Developers expect to open the restaurant late this fall.
"You can definitely tell when times start getting tougher, because stuff gets stolen on construction sites," Stukenberg said, recalling a theft about a month ago at the same site that was caught on video.
Stukenberg turned 38 on Thursday.

The process of buying and selling residential homes or commercial buildings can be a high complex one. If you are a buyer or a seller, it is possible to be on the losing side financially if there are errors in your transaction. You can protect yourself from these liabilities and blunders in transactions if you get professional help.
Before preparing the agreement of purchase and sale by your real estate agent, your lawyer will give you sound advice since he is an expert in these processes. With the advice of your real estate lawyer, your interests are protected and potential conflicts and misunderstanding during the process are minimized. Protect yourself from agreeing to something which can lead to financial loss or potential lawsuit by hiring a lawyer.
These are not the only things that a real estate lawyer can assist you with. He will review the paperwork and check for errors that may affect your interests. Don't sign the agreement of purchase and sale unless your lawyer has reviewed it. Other documents that may affect the title should also be checked by your lawyer. A buyer's lawyer will also make sure that the title is clean by completing a title search of the property. If you are financing the purchase, then your lawyer will work with the financial institution to coordinate funding and will register the mortgage on title.
There will also be ongoing communications with your lawyer and your real estate agent so that financing and home inspections are completed by the required dates. Property taxes, land transfer taxes, and other fees will also be addressed by your lawyer.
If you don't want to overlook mistakes that can affect the transaction, then you should hire a lawyer to assist you.

Make sure to hire a real estate lawyer that has specific experience in real estate law. They know the processes well and they can quickly attend to and fix issues that may present themselves during the process. This helps minimize financial damages.
If you are involved in buying or selling residential or commercial properties, then it is highly recommended that you hire a reputable real estate lawyer. with a real estate lawyer you are assured of an error-free and on-time closing.

Q: Why would putting a no-op Converter on a Binding change its behavior? I'm in the midst of testing a user control I've built, and I'm encountering something that's inexplicable to me.
The control's an extension of the ComboBox that handles values of a specific custom type.  It has a dependency property of that custom type that is the target property of a Binding.
I've got a trace statement in the setter, and I can see that the property is getting set.  But it's not appearing in my user control.
Now, ordinarily I'd say, okay, I've got a bug in my user control.  I probably do, though I'm baffled about it.  But this question isn't about finding the bug in my control.  Read on; here is where it gets weird.
I'm also using Bea Stollnitz's little value converter to help debug the Binding:
public class DebuggingConverter : IValueConverter
{
    public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        return value; // Add the breakpoint here!!
    }
    public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException("This method should never be called");
    }
}

The idea behind this is that I add this converter to my Binding and can set a breakpoint to see what value is being pushed out to the target.  Okay, that works just fine.  I can see that the value is being pushed out.
In fact, it works a little too fine.  If the DebuggingConverter is attached to the Binding, the user control displays the value.  If it's not, it doesn't.
How is that even possible?  How could a value converter that does nothing affect the behavior of a bound control?
Edit:
Not that it's likely to help, but here's the XAML for the user control:
<a:CodeLookupBox
    Grid.Column="1"
    Grid.IsSharedSizeScope="True"
    MinWidth="100"
    Style="{Binding Style}">
    <a:CodeLookupBox.CodeLookupTable>
        <Binding Path="Codes" Mode="OneWay"/>
    </a:CodeLookupBox.CodeLookupTable>
    <a:CodeLookupBox.SelectedCode>
        <Binding Path="Value" Mode="TwoWay" ValidatesOnDataErrors="True"/>
    </a:CodeLookupBox.SelectedCode>
</a:CodeLookupBox>

Without the converter on the second binding, the control behaves as though I didn't set SelectedCode.  Even though a trace statement in the OnSelectedCodePropertyChanged handler shows that e.Value does indeed contain the correct value.  This happens irrespective of whether the converter's attached or not.
I've been trying to reverse-engineer this problem with a thought experiment:  if you wanted to create a bound user control whose behavior changed if a no-op converter were attached to its binding, how would you do it?  I don't know enough about binding to come up with an answer.

A: Well, the good news is, I know why SelectedCode isn't being set when I'm not using a value converter.  The bad news is, I still have something of a mystery, but the problem's been pushed up the food chain a bit, and I have a workaround.
This control is essentially a strongly-typed combo box with a bunch of additional features that are made possible by the fact that it knows what kind of items are in it.  The SelectedCode and CodeLookupTable properties are strongly typed, and they hide the underlying SelectedItem and ItemsSource properties, which aren't.  (This, by the way, is why this is a user control and not a subclass of ComboBox; I don't want those properties to be visible because a lot of things can happen if they get set improperly, none of them good.)
Here's what's happening.  This is my debugging output when the value converter is attached (the number is the hash code of the control, because I've got a bunch of them that all get drawn simultaneously when the program's initialized):
14626603: OnCodeLookupTablePropertyChanged
   CodeLookupTable property set to Proceedings.Model.CodeLookupTable
   box.MainComboBox.ItemsSource = MS.Internal.Data.EnumerableCollectionView
14626603: OnSelectedCodePropertyChanged:
   SelectedCode property set to Unlicensed Driver [VC12500(A)]
   box.MainComboBox.ItemsSource = MS.Internal.Data.EnumerableCollectionView

This is the expected behavior.  The CodeLookupTable property is set, so setting SelectedCode to one of the items in that collection correctly sets SelectedItem on the underlying ComboBox.
But without the value converter, we get this:
16143157: OnSelectedCodePropertyChanged:
   SelectedCode property set to Unlicensed Driver [VC12500(A)]
   box.MainComboBox.ItemsSource =
16143157: OnCodeLookupTablePropertyChanged
   CodeLookupTable property set to Proceedings.Model.CodeLookupTable
   box.MainComboBox.ItemsSource = MS.Internal.Data.EnumerableCollectionView

Here, the SelectedCode property is being set before the CodeLookupTable property is.  So when the method tries to set SelectedItem on the underlying ComboBox, nothing happens, because the ItemsSource is null.
And here is the root of the problem.  I've foolishly assumed that the order that bindings update their target in is the same as the order they're declared in the XAML.  (One of the reasons I've expressed the bindings as elements instead of attributes is because the order of elements in an  XML document is deterministic and the order of attributes isn't.  It's not like I didn't think about this.)  This is apparently not the case.
I've also assumed, maybe a little less foolishly,  that the order in which bindings update their target isn't dependent on whether or not they have attached value converters.  Well, it is.  I wonder what else it depends on.
Mercifully, I have a way to work around this.  Since my CodeLookup object contains a reference to the CodeLookupTable, I can make the SelectedCode setter set the CodeLookupTable (and thus the ItemsSource) property first, if it hasn't already been set.  That'll make this problem go away without having to stick a fake value converter on the binding and hope that the way bindings behave never changes.
Edit
Here's what the property declarations look like:
#region SelectedCode

public static readonly DependencyProperty SelectedCodeProperty = DependencyProperty.Register(
    "SelectedCode", typeof(CodeLookup), typeof(CodeLookupBox),
    new FrameworkPropertyMetadata(OnSelectedCodePropertyChanged));

private static void OnSelectedCodePropertyChanged(DependencyObject source, DependencyPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
{

A: try to implement the ConvertBack function too, you are using two-way binding so the problem may be that the exception will be ignored by the "xaml" but when you step in debug mode you maybe stop the "send value back"-operation?

A: Hmm...very strange. I've seen similar behavior when dealing with MultiBindings with multiple converters, but not on a simple binding. Out of curiosity, how are you defining your DPs on the control? (including the callbacks, metadata options, etc)
Some stuff to try (after removing the converter hook):

*

*Default the mode (ie, remove the TwoWay)

*Remove the ValidatesOnDataErrors

*Add an AffectsRender to the SelectedCode DP

A: What does setting SelectedCode do?  Can you post the code for the property changed handler?
You've suggested that debugging shows the property is being set to the correct value, so the most obvious suggestion is that the code providing your intended behaviour is incorrect.
