Litigation in the wind

According to Darwin's theory, change has fueled the engine of evolution. Today, change is the spark that sets off lawsuits. The introduction of genetically modified (GM) crops has kindled its share of litigation, typically in the form of farmers and farm interest groups versus agbiotech companies. However, farmers who grow GM crops may not be immune from a lawsuit.
Farmers vs. Agbiotech Companies
In the fall of 2000, remnants of the GM corn StarLink were found in the human food supply. StarLink expresses Cry9C, an insecticidal protein that had not been approved for human consumption by the US Environmental Protection Agency and by various agencies outside the US. The discovery of StarLink "contamination" severely affected domestic and foreign markets for US corn products, which, in turn, spawned at least nine class action lawsuits in six states against Aventis CropScience USA LP (Research Triangle Park, North Carolina), the company that commercialized StarLink.
Last year, for example, a class action suit was filed in a Wisconsin federal district court on behalf of farmers who claim that they have lost money due to the depression in prices after StarLink was found to have entered the food supply (Southview Farms v. Aventis CropScience USA Holding, Inc.). Another class action suit, Mulholland v. Aventis Crop Science USA, was filed on behalf of farmers who did not grow StarLink. Here, the plaintiffs claimed that Aventis failed to take the appropriate measures to prevent the GM corn from entering the human food supply, and that, as a result, the plaintiffs lost significant domestic and foreign markets. The Mulholland complaint includes allegations of public nuisance, consumer fraud, deceptive business practices, and negligence. In Mudd v. Aventis Crop Science USA, non-StarLink growers filed a class action suit based on negligence and strict liability claims.
Concerns about GM crops also provoked the recent filing of a class action lawsuit against agbiotech companies in Canada. In this case, two farmers who specialize in organic produce initiated the lawsuit to recover compensatory damages for revenue lost by contamination of organic canola crops. The plaintiffs also requested an injunction to stop field trials of Monsanto's Roundup Ready wheat.
Larry Hoffman and Dale Beaudoin, two organic farmers in Saskatchewan, filed a statement of claim in the Court of Queen's Bench, seeking the class action lawsuit against Monsanto Canada, Inc. (Misssissauga, Ontario) and Aventis CropScience Canada Holding Inc. (Regina, Saskatchewan). They assert that the companies have ruined the province's organic canola market and must be prevented from doing the same to the organic wheat market. According to the complaint, Monsanto's Roundup Ready canola or Aventis CropScience's Liberty Link canola has been found growing on land for which it was not intended, and consequently, few, if any, seed suppliers will certify their seeds as organic. The farmers allege that the two companies are responsible for any GM contamination on the grounds of negligence, nuisance, trespass, pollution under the Saskatchewan Environmental Management Protection Act, and failure to conduct an environmental assessment. Estimates run to millions of dollars in damages for the loss of canola as an organic crop in Saskatchewan.
And what about the farmers who decide to produce GM crops designed by an agbiotech company?
Farmer vs. Farmer
Farmers who grow GM crops might find themselves as defendants in a lawsuit filed by neighbors who complain about crop contamination. For instance, plaintiffs might allege that pollen from the defendant's GM crops drifted over a property line (via wind, insects, etc.) and contaminated their non-GM crops.
Commentators have suggested that the plaintiffs of such lawsuits might assert claims of trespass to land, private nuisance, negligence, or strict liability. A claim of trespass to land can arise when someone crosses the legal boundary of another's land or causes something to
cross that boundary. A private nuisance is often described as something that decreases the value of an individual's property or interferes with their use or enjoyment of the property. For a claim of negligence, a plaintiff must establish the existence of a duty owed by the defendant to the plaintiff, a breach of that duty, and an injury proximately resulting from the breach of duty. In contrast, strict liability is a type of liability without fault in which a person engages in an "abnormally dangerous" activity.
Factors that a court may consider in determining whether an activity is abnormally dangerous include: whether the activity involves a high degree of risk of harm; whether the gravity of the harm that may result from the activity is likely to be great; whether the activity carries risk that cannot be eliminated by the exercise of reasonable care; whether the activity is a matter of common usage; whether the activity is inappropriate to the place where it is carried out; and the value of the activity to the community.
With regard to strict liability, commentators suggest that a court may compare a genetic contamination case to a pesticide drift case, such as the 1977 Washington State supreme court case, Langan v. Valicopters, Inc. (88 Wn.2d855). In this case, the State supreme court affirmed an award of damages to an organic farmer who sued a crop duster in strict liability for the crop duster's use of a chemical pesticide on the organic farmer's land. Although this is characterized as a pesticide "drift" case, the Defendant had sprayed pesticide while he was flying over the Plaintiff's land in a helicopter. The pesticide did not simply float from one property to another. Courts will have to decide whether a short-term chemical drift is really analogous to the type of long-term process that would be required for genetic drift, and whether growing GM crops is the type of "abnormally dangerous activity" that is covered by strict liability. Determinations of trespass to land, private nuisance, negligence, and strict liability have nuances that can vary from state to state.
Dealing With Uncertainty
How can a farmer who grows GM crops manage the risk of a potential crop contamination lawsuit? Last November, a conference was held in Minneapolis to consider strategies for the co-existence of GM, non-GM, and organic crop production. Participants included representatives of the USDA, agbiotech companies, and academia. One recommendation from the Minneapolis meeting was to define legal responsibilities for compromised crop production. It would be helpful to establish an acceptable standard of behavior for a farmer who grows GM crops, and to identify the duty owed by that farmer to a neighbor who grows non-GM crops. Setting such a standard should provide more certainty in determining whether crop contamination was due to negligence.
Another recommendation was to establish a pilot program for an indemnity fund to reimburse losses caused by genetic contamination of non-GM and organic corn by GM corn. Many existing insurance policies do not cover pollution-related damages, and insurers may argue that pollen drift is a type of pollution. An alternative recommendation of the Minneapolis conference participants was to modify federal crop insurance programs to provide cross-contamination coverage. Farmers could also ask agbiotech companies that sell GM seed to indemnify them against liability in the event of a lawsuit.
New state laws might provide relief for certain types of GM crop-related lawsuits. Last year, at least four states considered the liability problem. The Massachusetts legislature, for example, had a bill (1789; "An Act Relative to the Liability for Genetically Engineered Food") that would shift liability to agbiotech companies. According to the legislation, a person (i.e., a natural person or business) who genetically engineers an organism for use as food shall be strictly liable for damages caused by the use of the product on the condition that the harm was not the result of another person violating reasonable safety precautions that were outlined in a signed agreement by both persons. The damages include loss of price due to crop contamination. Taking a different approach, the House and Senate of South Dakota passed a resolution urging Congress to create legislation that places all liability for damages caused by GM seeds on the companies that develop and manufacture the seeds. Currently, however, Congress is not considering this type of legislation.

Acadia Center's 2017 RGGI report shows that over its eight and a half years of operation, the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) has helped Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States achieve significant reductions in emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other pollutants from the electric power sector. Over the same period RGGI states' economies have outpaced the rest of the country, and electricity prices within RGGI have fallen, even as prices in other states have increased.
A key component to achieving a decarbonized energy future, offshore wind is now a reality in the Northeast. The Block Island Wind Farm off the coast of Rhode Island is operational, Massachusetts is actively reviewing offshore wind project bids, and New York, Maryland, and New Jersey are all developing their own ambitious programs. In Connecticut, offshore wind offers the state an opportunity to grow its clean energy economy, particularly along the shoreline. With three deep-water ports and a skilled manufacturing sector, Connecticut is well-suited to move forward on offshore wind—all that is needed now is policy action.
Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and Public Utilities Regulatory Authority requested addendum comments following the August 17, 2017 public hearing on the scope of their study of the Millstone Power Station. Based on the conversation and testimony presented at the public hearing, Acadia Center advocates that the study must include greater modeling transparency, consider the most recent data available, and increase the modeling timeframe to fully understand the long-term impacts of closure on the state's Global Warming Solutions Act.
Seventeen organizations signed a letter to encourage the Connecticut Public Utilities Regulatory Authority to develop a generic formula for the residential fixed charge that remains consistent with the outcome of the recent United Illuminating electric rate case---in which the residential fixed charge was cut by 45%---and that also does not deviate from the limited scope of eligible costs defined in Connecticut's 2015 residential fixed charge statute. The letter outlines how lowering fixed charges will benefit a majority of residential customers, particularly low-income and low-usage customers.
Connecticut's Department of Energy and Environmental Protection and Public Utilities Regulatory Authority requested comments on the scope of their study of the Millstone Power Station. Acadia Center advocates that the study should develop a robust and transparent modeling approach that includes a base case representative of current trends and procurements, as well as sensitivities to different penetration levels of various demand-side technologies, clean energy resources, and commitments under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.
Reforms proposed in Connecticut's 2017 draft Comprehensive Energy Strategy appear to raise significant new challenges to distributed solar deployment. Distributed solar must play a key role in reducing the state's greenhouse gas emissions, and these proposed changes put its climate mitigation role at real risk. In this report, Acadia Center raises four high priority concerns that the state must resolve through revisions to the strategy.
Connecticut's Governor's Council on Climate Change (GC3) is getting ready to set interim greenhouse gas reduction targets to ensure the state in on track to meet its 2050 mandate, and they are using energy sector modeling to help them with this process. In this letter to the GC3, Acadia Center highlights several concerns with the energy efficiency modeling that has been presented to date.
Fixed charges are the flat monthly fees that every customer pays, regardless of the amount of electricity they consume. Over the past several years, utilities have pushed for higher fixed charges because they guarantee a revenue stream. However, high fixed charges violate well-established regulatory principles, reduce incentives for energy efficiency and clean local generation, and result in higher bills for low-usage customers, who are disproportionately low income. New York has relatively high residential fixed charges compared to the rest of the U.S., and its charges are higher than those in neighboring states. High fixed charges are ultimately incompatible with the energy future envisioned by New York's Reforming the Energy Vision ("REV") initiative and should be reduced significantly.
Following the Trump Administration's withdrawal from the Paris Agreement, cities, states and regions will increasingly need to lead on climate. The nine states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) have demonstrated a will to forge ahead in the absence of federal action in the past, and their leadership will make a substantial impact on the global fight against climate change; together, these states have a GDP of $2.8 trillion, representing the world's 6th largest economy. Fortunately, the list of states taking action on climate is growing.
States throughout the Northeast are considering how to transition from an energy grid that delivers power one-way, from fossil fuel power generators to customers, to a modern, dynamic, and flexible energy system that is centered around our homes and businesses. Massachusetts utilities have presented plans for updating the electric grid in their Grid Modernization Plans, which are currently under consideration at the Commonwealth's Department of Public Utilities. Rhode Island's Power Sector Transformation Initiative is currently seeking feedback on Distribution System Planning for a modern grid. In response to New York's Reforming the Energy Vision, the state's electric utilities have developed Distribution System Implementation Plans. Acadia Center has analyzed and summarized the New York experience here.


Cocaine addiction can be difficult to face. When cocaine abuse gets out of control, drug users may discover their relationships, careers, and even their lives are at risk. No matter how long the cocaine abuse has been going on, though, turning away from it and towards a sober lifestyle is always an option. The journey to sobriety starts with understanding the addiction and going through a medical detox program.
A cocaine addiction forms after continuous misuse of the drug. Typically, users who first take cocaine experience immediate effects that, in most cases, feel good, such as euphoria, alertness, and hypersensitivity. These effects occur because cocaine forces dopamine to stay in the brain longer than normal. This blocks communication in the central nervous system and causes a high. Over time, though, the brain will counteract the cocaine intake and achieving that same high will require using more of the drug.
Although none of these withdrawal symptoms are life-threatening, they can be incredibly uncomfortable. So much so that people find it easier to continue their cocaine abuse than stop their drug use. Those who do continue cocaine use typically form an addiction, which means that they'll continue the drug use regardless of the consequences involved. Cocaine addiction gets out of control when the drug use starts having a negative impact on their lives.
When someone starts any sort of addiction treatment, they need to go through a detox program. A cocaine detox center in Florida can help cleanse the body of any drugs that are still in a patient's system. Patients who don't go through detox before entering the next stage of treatment put themselves at a great risk for relapse, as detoxing involves working through withdrawal.
There are treatment centers that focus on helping patients work through the detox process. At these centers, patients are put in direct contact with medical professionals that understand cocaine addiction and are able to help patients through the process in both mental and physical ways. They're able to prescribe medication, educate patients on addiction, and offer support during the more intense moments of withdrawal. The best detox programs in Florida are focused on the individual, which means that each patient receives one-on-one care during their stay at the treatment center.
Even if abusing cocaine has altered the course of your life, getting sober is always an option. Working through a cocaine detox program is the first step toward lasting sobriety. Through the right detox program, you'll work with medical professionals through the withdrawal process and learn what you need to in order to transition to the next stage of treatment. It doesn't matter how long the detox process takes, you can receive the professional help you need.
Don't wait to start your addiction recovery. Start now with Serenity House Detox. Call us today at 866-294-5306 to talk with an experienced admissions counselor about our detox program and the professional care that you'll receive.

Penelope Cruz To Exec Produce & Narrate Docu Series 'Not A Bride' For Paramount+
VIS Social Impact, the cause-driven production division of ViacomCBS International Studios, is teaming with Pedro Almodóvar's El Deseo and Spanish indie Mogambo for documentary series Not A Bride. Frequent Almodovar collaborator Penelope Cruz will executive produce and narrate the four-part series which Paramount+ has acquired internationally.
Written and directed by Dario Troiani (Violet, Kalebegiak), the series aims to uncover common misconceptions surrounding child marriages. According to NGO Girls Not Brides: The Global Partnership to End Child Marriage, 12 million girls are married before the age of 18 each year, which means 23 girls every minute. Child, early and forced marriage and unions happen all over the world, and 650 million women alive today face the direct consequences of child marriage. Not A Bride will shed light on the reality that this occurs in many countries, cultures and religions.
"With the continued expansion of Paramount+ internationally, it's important that our production slate is reflective of the ways in which our audiences see ourselves and one another. By partnering with El Deseo and Mogambo, we hope to address common misconceptions associated with child marriages, to inform our audiences around the world," said Laura Abril, Senior Vice President and Head of VIS EMEA and Asia.
Georgia Arnold, Head of VIS Social Impact and SVP Social Responsibility, ViacomCBS Networks International added, "With the recent launch of VIS Social Impact, our studio's mission is to develop groundbreaking social impact-driven content that addresses equity, as well as climate and health. Not A Bride will harness the power of storytelling to address the critical global issue of child marriage, and we hope its worldwide debut on Paramount+ will help to shift perceptions and create meaningful progress towards a more gender equal world."
El Deseo's Esther García, who will exec produce with Agustín and Pedro Almodóvar, commented, "The testimonies of the girls and women who have suffered this traumatic experience are shocking. Through this documentary we aim to give the world a better idea of this huge problem which we truly hope will begin to be solved."
VIS Social Impact is part of Content for Change, a global ViacomCBS initiative that aims to counteract racism, bias, stereotypes and hate through the company's culture, creative supply chain, and the content it creates. Not A Bride is the second VIS Social Impact project announced, following Protest & Progress from photographer and social activist, Misan Harriman, which will also debut on Paramount+.

Actor Matthew Lewis talks about playing an unlikely 'Harry Potter' hero
Oct 29, 2009 at 12:01 AM Oct 29, 2009 at 6:45 PM
Neville Longbottom faints at the sound of screeching mandrake roots and can't even win against feisty Cornish pixies, which grab him by the ears and hang him by a classroom ceiling fan. But the "Harry Potter" series' crooked-toothed class clown at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry proves a true leader in the fight against evil, and he even gets a Yule Ball date before Harry does.
Neville Longbottom faints at the sound of screeching mandrake roots and can't even win against feisty Cornish pixies, which grab him by the ears and hang him by a classroom ceiling fan.
But the "Harry Potter" series' crooked-toothed class clown at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry proves a true leader in the fight against evil, and he even gets a Yule Ball date before Harry does.
British-born actor Matthew Lewis, 20, has played Neville throughout the film series.
Lewis, who appeared in Boston to promote the opening of "Harry Potter: The Exhibition" at the Museum of Science, spoke briefly about playing one of the series' most unlikely heroic figures.
Q. In most of the films so far, Neville Longbottom is a supporting character with limited appearances. How do you establish the character so he is memorable?
A. I'm always in contact with [director] David Yates, and we talk constantly about what Neville would be doing and feeling, even when he is in the background. … This is something David Yates is keen about, not just with Neville Longbottom, but with all the characters, to keep the whole scene alive.
Q. As someone who was a fan of the books since childhood, is there anything in the movies so far that you wish were different?
A. I was a little upset when the scene in the book "Harry Potter And The Order of The Phoenix" wasn't included where Neville goes to St. Mungo's Hospital to see his parents [torture victims of Bellatrix Lestrange, follower of Lord Voldemort]. That scene was so crucial to Neville's character. But due to the length of the film, we had to cut that sequence.
Q. The stories – the books and the films – are told mainly from Harry's point of view. Does this limit the ability to tell the story?
A. Obviously, the books are about Harry Potter – how he was orphaned, how he grew up, how he thought at first that he was a Muggle [a person who cannot do magic.] … His interactions with the other characters really touched me a lot – with Neville, he helps bring him out of his shell. His interactions with Neville have helped bring Neville along.
Q. Along with the main characters, it seems like nearly every supporting character, including Neville, has a fan base. Does that have an effect on how you play the character?
A. [Laughs.] People do say, "More Neville, please. It's a shame there isn't more of him in the film." In the last film ["Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince,"] Neville only had two lines. I would have liked more, but it is such a massive story that some characters had to take more of a backseat role. Also, there were new characters that had to be introduced.
Q. There are people who write fan fiction about characters, including Neville, with alternate endings and realities. Are you familiar with any of these stories?
A. I have been given some fan fiction by various fans. It is interesting. Some of it is downright strange. But if people like the character so much and write their own back stories, I think it is wonderful. If the fans feel they know the character enough to write a complete different story, then that is wonderful.
Q. Some fans also have a crush on Neville and on you. Did you ever expect that?
A. Definitely not for myself, but I wouldn't begrudge it. [Laughs.] It's cool for a 20-year-old guy to have that. When I got into "Harry Potter," that was never really the aim.
Q. What can we expect from Neville in the next film ["Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, Part One, to be released in 2010]?
A. I got the final script a few weeks ago. Neville has got a lot of stuff to do. The three main students [Harry, and friends Ron Weasley and Hermoine Grainger] have been away from Hogwarts, but Neville stays and takes charge of Dumbledore's Army [which leads the charge against Voldemort and his forces.] He is leading an underground resistance. He gets beaten and is a bit bloodied.
Q. Are you satisfied with the role he will play?
A. I think the fans are going to love it. Neville really comes through. He's got this older demeanor. Nothing scares him anymore.

Cultural Diversity Essay Topics: Social Justice and… Music?
❶Having children from other countries and cultures in the classroom can be a positive experience for teachers and students Canadian Teacher, 1. I agree because listening to music can broaden your perspective.
Subordinate groups opinions that have developed over time may cause defensive and cautious behaviors and attempting to bridge the gap between dominant and subordinate groups could provide better communication.
Managers and supervisors need to strive for a deeper knowledge and understanding of cultural differences. By establishing relationships at work with individuals different from yourself, you can begin to learn the knowledge that culture may have to offer your organization.
Prejudice and prejudgment also need to be addressed including the misconceptions based on cultural values or stereotypes. A manager can become a role model for all employees to embrace cultural diversity in the work place by confronting these prejudgments.
The majority of nursing homes have come to realize that employees from various ethnic and cultural back-grounds, as well as those of different gender can bring a completely different perspective. It is becoming more important to have an understanding of different cultural backgrounds since there are more and more patients being cared for in this country with very different cultural backgrounds. At the same time it is essential that the nursing unit is running smoothly and that patient care is the highest priority.
There has to be a balance of different cultures, ethnicities and genders so it is important to keep in mind the importance of making the units as diverse as possible when hiring healthcare staff. In order for employees to feel comfortable in the workplace and achieve satisfaction, education and teaching on culture and diversity is essential.
Thanks to the increasing education among nursing staff on cultural diversity, changes are being seen in the nursing profession. The lefty for a day was quite a challenge. Trying to cook dinner, writing, doing homework was all very difficult and I was unable to use the scissors I had since they are specifically made for being right handed. This experience gave me more of an understanding of what it must be like for those of different cultures to adapt in new surroundings and a new appreciation for the challenges faced by those that do not fit into what society considers to be normal.
Diversity in Organizations 2nd ed. How to cite this page Choose cite format: Importance of Understanding Cultural Diversity. There are many topics that could be very interesting and relevant and it is up to you to select the research topic that is approved by your supervisor. But finally, you must focus on the topic and analyze the relevant variables that make up your paper. There are many factors that could determine how you shape your paper considering your research topic.
There are several issues you must consider while selecting your topics and choosing your research areas. You have choose 1. So, your broader area of research could be cultural diversity and your research topics would be interrelationship or links between diversity, music and racial inclusion, and your research question or title could be — How can music be used to increase racial inclusion and improve social and cultural diversity in a specific region?
Cultural and social diversity has to be defined in the course of the research process and when you bring in new concepts like racism, gender issues, arts, crime, music and human rights or social movements, you have to explain these concepts and interrelate these to make your case. Choosing a topic in cultural diversity may not be the easiest exercise in your academic life, but it is definitely the most rewarding. Once you have a significant number of issues and topics and their interrelationships linked, you have a sound research base that could catapult you to a superstar researcher.
Looking for a little inspiration? The example diversity essay below shows how you might put together a short diversity essay. Want to save time? Feel free to get in touch with the Jittery Monks to learn how you can hire a professional writer in minutes! One issue discussed in the readings, videos, and lecture slides provided by the course is that of the Five Pillars of Islam. This issue has not only had significant historical importance, but is also highly relevant to the modern day.
The Five Pillars of Islam have been the basis for much action by those who identify with the faith of Islam. In the modern day, the Five Pillars of Islam continue to stand relevant, driving societal, cultural, and political action within many communities. The Five Pillars of Islam are considered to be the declaration of faith, prayer, Zakat charitable giving , fasting, and pilgrimage Islam Basics, While the principles behind the Five Pillars of Islam have stayed consistent since their founding, the modern day implementation of these principles is often notably different from the implementation of these principles historically.
Consider the pillar of pilgrimage. In the modern day, many organizations and individuals have come together to help others become physically and financially able to undergo such a venture. Funding is often provided for Muslims to visit Mecca. Organizations have set up global networks to help achieve this goal. Overall, globalization and societal change has made the implementation of the Five Pillars of Islam different. However, the principles remain the same. This issue remains highly relevant to the modern day.
Remember that a good research paper does not always have to shock people off their saddles, but simply must have an element of surprise and must also deal with topics and approaches that are unique. Your paper must be able to sustain the interests of the supervisors and lead your research to new directions. Finding new research topics also relate to finding new directions in research and adds a new dimension to the research topics.
Try looking around on social media; the Jittery Monks, for example, often browse Reddit to stay up to day with news stories that might not be covered in mainstream media outlets. It is necessary to understand how your research ideas will create value or bring about a positive contribution in the field of culture or society studies. Cultural and social studies relate direct to other factors such as religion and race, gender and social inclusion, social divisions and social movements, and the more you can include a broad ranging discussion with narrowed-down approach explaining your research title, the better your ideas will be integrated.
Your primary focus while doing research should be integration and interrelationships between concepts and how ultimately you can integrate these concepts to say something new through your study. Originality of any research paper is usually highly appreciated by supervisors, although you must learn how to balance conventional concepts with the original ideas that you propose. Steps to writing a great essay not only consist of reading up material that are available on the topic and collecting resources for your paper, it also involves finding the best way to create an outline or structure and adding the details that would make a strong research case.
Finally your research, your topic and your question matter, and if you are able to determine new relationships between concepts, you probably have aced the perfect research paper. Once you have the essay topic, you are almost on this journey of instant exploration and knowledge so that finally you can transform yourself to a seasoned researcher.
Writing that essay, making it unique, and surprising your supervisors and colleagues seem to be the correct approach that will help you to finally master the research paper.
So now does the essay seem like an easy thing to do? We would be glad to help with your diversity essay.

Q: Handling 'Non-blocking' socket connects I am trying write a client that connects using non-blocking sockets, I am confused as to what I should check for and in which order.  I looked at Non blocking socket - how to check if a connection was successful question and tried to implement it with no luck.  This is Windows, rather than Linux.  I would prefer to use the Posix methods so can I port it later.
The issue is that with Windows I am seeing EWOULDBLOCK even if the server doesn't exist. I am seeing multiple connections on the server once the server does appear, therefore I am not correctly handling the 'blocked' connection which hasn't completed yet.
The connect code is (and is called in a loop, if it can't connect straight away, until 100 tries or it connects):
bool IPV4Socket::Connect( std::string hostname
                        , unsigned short remotePort

Thank you :)

A: connect from msdn (read return value carefully)
so the first time you try to connect in your loop, you get SOCKET_ERROR and errno=WSAEWOULDBLOCK; (this means everything is OK !!)
if you keep looping (connect again) you get SOCKET_ERROR and errno=WSAEINPROGRESS , so don't loop again !
so after getting WSAEWOULDBLOCK, as explained, you can,

Use select to determine the completion of the connection request by checking if the socket is writeable.

fd_set wr_set;
struct timeval timeout={10,1};

int err=WSAConnect(s,(struct sockaddr*)&addr,len,0,0,0,0);
printf("connect: %d %d\n",err,WSAGetLastError());

FD_ZERO(&wr_set);
FD_SET(s, &wr_set);

printf("%d\n",wr_set.fd_count);
select(s,0,&wr_set,0,&timeout); <- blocks (10s) only if can't get socket writable
printf("%d\n",wr_set.fd_count);

A: You have to call GetLastError immediately after calling connect. All that code you have between those two functions can clear or change the error code.
Your code writes output to a stream between those two calls. If that write produces no error, the GetLastError won't get the error from the connect being in progress.
Move the errorCode = m_socketAdaptor->GetLastError(); line to immediately after connect.

A: I am not sure if this helps anyhow but i found out that in the windows platform when you use the connect() function it will return a WSAEWOULDBLOCK(i think it is the same as EWOULDBLOCK). And you have to determine at a later time if the connection was actually successful or not.If you want you can check this out https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms737625%28v=vs.85%29.aspx (the section i refer to is that the "Return Value")

A:
The issue is that with Windows I am seeing EWOULDBLOCK even if the server doesn't exist.

Since the socket is in non-blocking mode, also connect() returns immediately before actually having connected to the server. So getting EINPROGRESS is expected.
Without having the code for m_socketAdaptor, I can'reproduce this, but I am pretty sure the problem lies in this:

The connect code is (and is called in a loop, if it can't connect straight away, until 100 tries or it connects):

If you already called connect() once and got (WSA)EINPROGRESS, you should not call connect again, but you should just be doing the select() part on the following iterations. Also you should not close() after checking once.
So what you should do is this:

*

*1st pass - or if connect failed completely:

getaddrinfo();
connect();
select();

*

*2nd-100th pass or until the select returns success:

select()

*

*If a previous call failed

close()
go back to 1st step

Bought an additional ticket online for next Wenesday's main Lotto sextuple rollover draw.
It's very rare for me to manually buy tickets (online or offline) for two separate draws on the same day, but I did indeed just do that. I bought a ticket for tonight's main Lotto quadruple rollover just before leaving work and then once next Saturday's main Lotto quintuple rollover was confirmed later in the evening, I bought one for that too.
It looks like Camelot are now regularly putting up a "half-baked" temporary results page with the winning numbers, jackpot prize, raffle numbers and whether the jackpot was won until they have the full results ready. They did it again tonight (so I guess I'm going to have scrape that temp page in the future, ho hum), but I did notice they said you could get the full prize info in the official app.
It is a bit pathetic that the Web site can't display full results for maybe half an hour or so, yet the app could. So I decided to install the official lottery app on my Android tablet (I'd long since deleted it in disgust at how bad it was a while ago). It had indeed had an update since my last review of it and you can "properly" login now at long last. However, almost all the old issues were there sadly, so it didn't take too long to udpate my review.
Of course, the downer about having the full results in the Android app first is that I had to manually transcribe them, whereas I have auto-scraping code for the official Web site. I'm not sure I want to endure the pain of the official app too many times, so I'd rather work on code to auto-scrape the temporary results page I mentioned.
Bought an additional ticket online for next Saturday's main Lotto triple rollover draw.
As was predictably expected, Camelot's site was flaky throughout the day, with temporary "we're too busy" pages regularly appearing, even hours after the draw had taken place. I managed to tweak this site's number of connections shortly after the draw to allow for the massive traffic.
It was a shame that the main Lotto ticket sales couldn't exceed £100m, which two draws 20 years ago had managed to do - Camelot reckoned tickets were being sold at the rate of 400 a second leading up to the closing time of 7.30pm GMT. I'm not sure that this level of ticket sales is "unprecedented" like Camelot claimed because surely those 1996 draws were just as manic with their £100m+ sales, especially since a ticket cost £1 back then, so there were potentially a lot more separate ticket transactions 20 years ago.
The UK media very belatedly got "excited" about a Wednesday main Lotto draw for once, but only because the jackpot prize pool had managed to creep just over £50m. Yes, that's a record, but it was actually last Wednesday's draw that finally broke the almost exactly 20-year-old jackpot prize pool record, but we never heard a smidgen about that because it wasn't a nice multiple of £10m for the media headlines.
Earlier in the rollover run, we also broke the 3-year-old record for the most number of consecutive rollovers (5 in a row last month) and the almost 16-year-old record for the largest Wednesday jackpot prize pool (£35.4m, a few days before Christmas)...and not a peep from the UK media again.
Interestingly, this lack of media frenzy until today has actually meant ticket sales have plateaued during this rollover run (but since Camelot doesn't officially release sales figures nowadays, it's hardly surprising the journos missed this). It's likely the media attention spurred on the 200 tickets a second sales that Camelot reported today, but even very large sales of £44.2m for tonight's draw still only made it the 6th highest ticket sales for a Wednesday draw (but at least they were the highest Wednesday sales for 12 years).
When the 59-ball main Lotto draws started last October, I'm pretty sure Camelot hadn't announced what the highly annoying jackpot prize pool cap would be. However, since then, they seem to have sneaked the cap figure on to their Lotto Changes page. Slightly confusingly, it turns out that although the cap is £50m, the "rolldown draw" (where the highest tier with winners splits the jackpot, even if it isn't a 6-match tier) is the one after a £50m+ jackpot isn't won. This does indeed mean that next Saturday's main Lotto draw jackpot "will be won", even possibly by a large number of 5-match winners if there's no 6-match or 5+bonus winners!
Despite the woeful performance of the Camelot official site (it briefly failed at 6.00pm tonght, parts of the site were only intermittently available after that and they delayed - again! - the full results, leaving up a minimal results page up for a couple of hours), I did actually manage to sneak in at 10.53pm and buy an additional ticket online for next Saturday's 15-times rollover after a couple of "go away, we're too busy!" login failures. I don't know why Camelot haven't beefed up their infrastructure now that multiple rollovers are common thanks to the extra 10 balls.

Watch Obama's Fiscal Cliff Address Live
By Alex Fitzpatrick 2012-12-31 18:27:19 UTC
President Barack Obama is scheduled to make remarks on the so-called Fiscal Cliff Monday at 1:30 p.m. EST.
Congress and the president have been intensely negotiating a solution to the Fiscal Cliff, a combination of spending cuts and tax hikes which some analysts believe would plunge the United States back into recession. Without a deal in place, the cliff will be triggered at midnight Tuesday as 2012 ends and 2013 begins.
Negotiations which took place over the weekend and earlier Monday reportedly brought Democrats and Republicans closer to a deal, details of which Obama may be officially announcing during this address.

Q: AUCTeX not compiling: Returning "Master file already set" I'm writing a thesis with AUCTeX. I have one main document (master.tex) and several chapter files (chapter1.tex, chapter2.tex, etc.) that are included in the master file using the \include command.
The master file now fails to compile, with AUCTeX returning "master file already set".
The problem can be solved by removing the tail from master.tex (from %%% Local Variables: and below) and re-compiling (C-c C-c returning a prompt for the master file). However, this seemingly disables AUCTeX from understanding the document structure, making it impossible to compile _region_.pdf from chapter.tex.
MWE:
% This is master.tex
\documentclass{report}

\begin{document}
\include{chapter1}
\end{document}

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: t
%%% End:

...
%This is chapter1.tex
Arbitrary text.

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "master"
%%% End:

AUCTeX-version 2019-09-27, Emacs 26.3.
This question was previously aksed, but the thread was closed as off-topic without any working solution provided. I hope someone can help me.
Link to thread: Auctex not compiling on C-c C-c, "TeX-master-file-ask: Master file already set"

A: In chapter1.tex, you are setting TeX-master to the symbol 'master.  It should be a string instead:
%This is chapter1.tex
Arbitrary text.

%%% Local Variables:
%%% mode: latex
%%% TeX-master: "master"
%%% End:

(Make sure you do M-x revert-buffer to apply the changes.)

A: See if you have any stray characters in there.
Create the files in the example from scratch, using emacs (with AUCTeX loaded). See if you get the same behavior. If not, copy and paste...
I've got several, large (30 or so files, scattered among various directories) documents. Works fine with latest xemacs and AUCTeX on Fedora (oldest has lived through several versions since their inception some 10 years back). Never seen your problem.


My take on a watch design by Alexander Sorokin called Earth and Moon! https://www.behance.net/gallery/Watch-Earth-and-Moon/3683131 Watch the moon come out at night and the sun come out on the day, based on 24h thanks Metah-Four Genome! ;-) Moon or Sun are the hours the shade is the minutes and the satellite the seconds!


The drive was cold. We hit the main highway and headed east. There is nothing remarkable about Russian roads. In general they are well maintained and signposted, with the same twee blue signage that they use all over Europe. Conditions, however, became progressively worse as we rolled on. Snow fell and drifted and then deepened enough that it packed down over the blacktop. As the clouds darkened and closed in the weather grew chillier and I was glad that Eva, our aging Ural motorcycle, had been fitted recently with electric handwarmers.
For the casual tourist the town of Tavda may seem somewhat pedestrian, for us it was simply a turning point as we headed north towards Uray. The afternoon was coming to a close as we swung through the city center looking for our turn. Nothing. By the time we reached the far side of town we still hadn't found the junction, so we made a U-turn and looked for help. Pulling into a thoroughly modern gas station, Zaya went into the little shop and asked the two middle aged women in bright red uniforms behind the counter if they knew where we could find the road to Kaminski. Neither of them had any idea, but a helpful man, with a thin face and a shaved head, looked at Zaya, still dressed as rabbit, and then me, still dressed as wolf, and said he would show us the way. The other riders pulled up and together we followed the good samaritan's shiny black BMW X5 through Tavda's twisting backstreets. Eventually he dropped us at a big, faded green steel bridge that spanned a wide riverbed, running ran parallel to a train line. Despite the bridge's size there was no way we would have found the crossing from the main road on our own.
About a mile on from the bridge we pulled over and agreed to stop for the the night before it got really dark. A small road to our right looked promising, so we punched the bikes through a snow bank and dropped down the embankment towards a stand of evergreens and birches. Eva's engine kill switch was, ironically, dead, so I reached over and turned her ignition key off. She sputtered and stopped. Ahhh, quiet! Our first campsite. It was time to set up for the night and start a fire. Guy and Pat (brothers from Perth) traipsed off to find firewood, their headlamps on full beam. Their lights were bright enough to land an aircraft and reminded me I needed to put new batteries in mine. When they returned, Pat proved just how well prepared he was when he pulled out a portable flame thrower and started torching the wood. In minutes we sat around the roaring campfire sharing snacks and tea and vodka. We turned in soon afterwards and even though the temperature dipped below −15C we all slept soundly.
Our impromptu team was without doubt the most diverse. All told there were three Australians, Geordie, riding solo, along with Guy and Pat. Guy distinguished himself by at 18 being the youngest adventurer on the trip. (I was the oldest by four years.) Then we had two Swiss guys with very un-Swiss sounding names: Björn and Rico. Zaya was single handedly representing 50% of the Ice Run's women and was also the Ice Run's only Mongolian. In addition, she was going to be sworn in as an American any day. Finally, there was me, an English/American hybrid.
Modern business pundits say that diversity in a team makes it stronger and more effective. We had it all, age, gender, ethnic, and cultural differences. The only question was, were we a team?


It feels like we know a lot of things about Tom Clancy's The Division, when in reality, there are still a lot of unknowns. Ubisoft Massive has purposefully tried to keep as many details about the game secret in the hopes that players will ultimately be surprised when they first step into the world of The Division.
One of the things we don't know a ton about is the game's actual story and what happened prior to the events of the beginning of the game. We know about Dark Winter, Directive 51 and that a deadly virus was laced onto dollar bills, which then went viral on Black Friday, killing nearly everyone as a result. Outside of those details though, information is fairly scarce.
While the virus in Tom Clancy's The Division is a fictional one, it is largely based off of a real-life virus that many people know about. Ubisoft Massive did a lot of research into the types of diseases they could fictionalize, and The Division Executive Producer Fredrik Rundqvist talked about the work they did to pinpoint the virus they wanted to fictionalize further.
"We did a lot of research to try to understand what could happen with a pandemic, the different viruses and which ones were easier to manipulate. The story is based on the small pox virus. As you might know, there is a strain here in the U.S. and the Russians have another.
"What they have been doing is weaponizing the virus since the 60s, apparently they have tons of it. The idea for the game is this lone wolf terrorist is manipulating the existing strain. The U.S. currently holds 300 million doses of vaccines specifically against smallpox, but it doesn't work for this strain," Rundqvist told atombash.com.
As we have seen in numerous demos, marketing material and trailers for The Division, the result of this virus is catastrophic and has left New York City in a heap of destruction and rubble. This is the point at which players step into the role of The Division agents to try and "save what remains," as Ubisoft is so fond of putting it.
All of this sounds depressingly bleak enough and it does make one wonder whether or not this will mark the end of humanity as we know it, within the context of the game, of course. I wanted to know if the events of The Division are leading up to the end of the world. "It might be. At the end of the game, you'll see what happens (laughs)," Rundqvist said.
Surely, Fred wouldn't give up that sort of detail, but it'll be interesting to see how the end game shakes out in The Division. As we've seen in previous gameplay demos, player action has a direct impact on the world around you and the people who are left in New York City.
The Dark Zone has been a highly talked about feature since it was formally debuted at E3 2015 and it will host the game's competitive PvP and PvE action. It is called the Dark Zone for a reason and Rundqvist spoke about where players will start when they first step into the world of The Division.
"With the Dark Zone, this is an area that the National Guard tried to wall off the contagion early on in the crisis. They had to abandon it, everything spiraled out of control, so when you start the game, you are pushed to the rim of the game world. The Division agents are basically sent in to help the National Guard and take back NYC," Rundqvist said.
Players will work to "take back" New York City one mission at a time and we are looking forward to seeing how the entire game fits together as a final product. There's still plenty more to learn and share about Tom Clancy's The Division. Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment will be releasing Tom Clancy's The Division on PS4, Xbox One and PC on March 8.
How does Loot work and how are enemies randomized in Tom Clancy's The Division?


The last time we spoke was in February… you never call, you don't send postcards…. But we still love you.
We were *successfully nominated for 'Album of the Year' and 'Song of the Year' at the Choice Music Prize, playing with James Vincent McMorrow, The Minutes and lots of great nominated acts (no sign of U2 unfortunately). Congrats to the Gloaming! We played with them in Paris last year, deadly stuff.
We played a fantastic St. Patrick's Day Jameson show at Dublin's Vicar Street with Little Green Cars and We Cut Corners. Drank too much whiskey*..
But most importantly we are about to play our two biggest ever shows in Cork and Galway. It's a big deal for us, as it gives us a chance to show a larger audience the expanded sound of 'Night becomes Light' and the set we have been working on for the past 6 months. We are really excited to put on something different, and hope you can make it. Support is from the Fantasticly talented Wyvern Lyngo fresh from backing up Hozier, we really like their stuff and are delighted they can join us for these two special shows.
We have to say we are absolutely bowled over by the response to Forget the Numbers, its been one of our most played songs ever on Irish and International Radio. It' hard to get songs played, and something we really appreciate –so to every DJ, listener, streamer, and streaker Thank you! We're debating the next single – what do you think?
If you're like to pick up our new album, wherever you are: Bandcamp.com!
Also, it looks like we may be returning to a place we never play, and haven't been since we started out, it could be a bit special… see you soon..


We offer many packages to suit what you would like to have done to your vehicle, but we can make changes to them to have done whatever you would like.

Lalitha Lajmi
Lalitha Lajmi was born in Kolkata in 1932. She was born into a family involved in the arts, and was very fond of classical dance even as a child. She had the urge to paint too, so her uncle, B.B. Benegal, a commercial artist from Kolkata, brought her a box of paints. The self-taught artist began painting in the early sixties. She had to teach art in school to earn a living.
Lajmi's works are figurative in nature – men, women, children and clowns. The concept of 'performance' has been a constant theme, performers not only those on stage or in the circus, but also in real life. Her early works were melancholic in nature, and her later works are more optimistic. But through the years, her works have continued being autobiographical.
In the mid 80's, Lajmi's work had evolved into etchings, oils and watercolours. The works of the late 80's and early 90's reflect the latent tensions that exist between men and women, captured in the different roles they play. She portrays her women as assertive and aggressive individuals. She uses the images of Durga or Kali on the top of emaciated men who are kneeling, almost as if they were in the middle of some form of classical corporal punishment. She has also depicted the natural bonding that exists between women, between mother and daughter figures, perhaps drawing from her own relationship with her daughter, well-known filmmaker Kalpana.
For Lajmi, nurturing her passion for art and cinema was a constant struggle. Indian films have been the biggest influence on her work, especially the ones made by her brother, Guru Dutt, Satyajit Ray and Raj Kapoor.
Lajmi was the recipient of the Government of India Junior Fellowship from 1979 to 1983. She won the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Travel Grant for International Contemporary Indian Women Artists Show for 50 Years of Indian Independence organized by Mills College of Art at Oakland, California in 1997 and Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) Travel Grant to East and West Germany for two Exhibitions in 1983.
Lajmi lives and works in Mumbai.

The use of 3PE polyethylene anticorrosive insulation pipe
(Summary description)At present, pipeline anti-corrosion technology has been widely praised in the actual application in the market. Pipeline anti-corrosion technology has been used in industrial equipment such as construction, petroleum, power, metallurgy, national defense, transportation storage, boilers, heat exchangers, fans, vehicles and ships. Among them, the anti-corrosion insulation pipe technology is usually to add anti-corrosion coating on the outer wall of the spiral pipe to reduce corrosion and achieve extended life. At present, the main external anti-corrosion coatings for spiral pipeline anti-corrosion are three-layer PE polyethylene, epoxy resin powder, epoxy coal pitch and so on. It can produce epoxy powder anticorrosive insulation pipe, epoxy coal asphalt anticorrosion steel pipe, etc.

The use of three-layer PE polyethylene and epoxy resin powder anti-corrosion coatings has the following advantages: high-efficiency waterproof and anti-corrosion, insulation and low temperature resistance. The main buried pipelines in foreign countries in Europe and America should also be these anti-corrosion coatings. At present, China 's comprehensive durability and maintenance For cost considerations, the first choice is a three-layer PE polyethylene composite structure anti-corrosion coating. The specific process of the three-layer PE polyethylene in the spiral anticorrosive insulation tube is as follows: spiral tube intermediate frequency heating, shot blasting rust removal treatment, rust removal quality inspection, intermediate frequency heating, epoxy powder coating, adhesive application, polyethylene application, water cooling Treatment, leak detection of coating, storage of anti-corrosion tubes.

Our lazy morning side trip to Nathon, on the central-western coast of Samui (where the main port for shuttle ferries from mainland Surat Thani come and go), concluded with Mumthong, a corner restaurant on 4169 Road, just before the long walkways down to Nathon Pier. The open-air first-floor dining space let in the ocean breeze, and we had a great roadside view of the mango sticky rice stand across the street. We ordered seafood fried rice, green curry with shrimp, a Thai omelette, fried garlic spare ribs, and the hilariously-named vegetable no-name (fritters, heavy on onions), along with a Thai iced coffee and a refreshingly sour lime soda (Myra's excellent expression appropriately conveys the degree of sourness).
The fried rice had a nice kick of dried curry tossed in, lending a funkiness to the soft pieces of squid. Fried garlic makes just about anything worth eating, although I wish the ribs had been more substantial. Both the Thai omelette (a shallow-fried version with delightfully crisped edges) and the vegetable no-name were firsts for me, although neither were completely foreign concepts. Chinese-style omelettes are similarly made, and no-names were reminiscent of both latkes and bhajiya. In short, equally delicious. The table sauce, a sea of pickled chilis. Sadly, the mango sticky rice stand we spent the entire lunch staring at ran out of sticky rice just as we walked over. I'm not sure if I can adequately represent the level of disappointment. You should have seen the defeat in our eyes.
Don't worry, we would find our redemption.
love your reference to bhajiya!!!

The Early Years - Swallow Sidecars and SS Cars Ltd (part 2)
SS, Jaguar Mark 4 and 5 Spotter's Guide
- By Rob Reilly
A brief description of external differences between the S.S.I, S.S.II, S.S.90, SS100, SS Jaguar, Mark 4 and Mark 5 models.
Early and late coupe
4-seat tourer
S.S.I
-Produced 1931-1935
The radiator shell is canted back at a noticeable angle, and has a sculpted sweeping shape at the top. The headlights are chrome pods, separate from the fenders, and on the early S.S.I are connected to each other by a crossbar. On later S.S.I the headlights are on posts, no crossbar. The engine was a side-valve six cylinder made for SS Cars by the Standard Motor Company of 2054 or 2552 cc's in early cars, 2143 or 2663 cc's in later cars.
The early coupe had helmet style front fenders (wings) with no running boards, rather cramped rear seats, a leather covered roof with non-functional landau bars (pram irons) on the sides thus no side windows for the rear seat passengers, and an optional rumble seat (dickey seat). Hmm, would that make it a six-seater sports car?
Later the coupe was lengthened to give more rear seat room and acquired running boards.
The saloon version had additional side windows, so the landau bars and dickey seat option were eliminated.
Other bodies available included a four-seat tourer with side curtains, a four-seater drop-head coupe (with functional landau bars), and the Airline saloon with the long sloping backend. The Airline was the only one of his creations about which William Lyons was ever heard to openly express dislike, but it sold well.
S.S.II
- Produced 1933-35
This model had a Standard 4 cylinder sidevalve (flathead) engine of 1006, 1343, or 1608 cc's. Noticeably smaller and stubbier than the more popular S.S.I, it was an entry level or economy variant of similar styling, and was produced in coupe, saloon, and tourer versions.
S.S.90
The front fenders (wings) are the clamshell style, with integral running board to the rear fender. The headlights are supported by a cross bar, with two more support bars angled up from the frame rails to the center and a cast "90" in the center. Separate chrome sidelights are attached to the tops of the front fenders. The radiator shell has a wire mesh screen, not vertical bars. The prototype had a rounded tailend with a spare tire mounted nearly horizontal on the tail. The production cars had a nearly vertical rear mounted spare, and the rear fenders sweep down under a squareish fuel tank. The correct engine is a sidevalve (flathead) 6 cylinder of 2663 cc's.
SS 100 from 1936 to 1940
SS Jaguar 100
[Note that from the introduction of the OHV engines on the 'Jaguar' range, the S.S. designation with periods changed to straight SS without any punctuation - TB]
The front fenders (wings) are the clamshell style, with integral running board to the rear fender. Cycle fenders and pontoon fenders have been seen on a few cars. The headlights are supported by a cross bar, with two more support bars angled up from the frame rails to the center and a cast "100" in the center. The radiator shell has the same wire mesh screen as the S.S.90. Separate chrome sidelights are attached to the tops of the front fenders. There is a slab fuel tank on the rear, with one or two spare tires mounted on the tank at an angle. The correct engines are the 2-1/2 liter and 3-1/2 liter OHV pushrod engines made for SS Cars by the Standard Motor Co. There were a few special bodies done by various other coachbuilders, and one coupe done by the factory for the 1938 Earl's Court show.
