Q: Copying a function object from one window to another Is it possible to copy a function (or any object for that matter) from one window context to another in Javascript?
Let's say I have a parent window with a frame in it. The frame defines a function foo(), which I'd like to copy to the outer window. (One reason to do it would be so that foo() is available when the frame document navigates to a different URL.)
I know I can easily create a reference to foo() in the parent by doing
function foo() { ... }
parent.foo = foo;

But with this method foo() still lives in the frame document, and will not be available to the parent should frame get unloaded.
I know I can also create a new function in the parent by using the Function constructor:
parent.foo = new parent.Function(" ... ");

However, this requires me to have my function as a JS string.
DOM supports moving nodes from one document to another via importNode(). Does Javascript have a similar feature?

A: nitko's solution seems to be correct, though a little more work is required. This function seems to work on FF2, FF3, IE7 and Chrome:
  function importFunction(fn, win) {
    var code = fn.toString();
    var params = code.match(/\(([^)]*)\)/);
    if (typeof(params[1]) !== 'undefined') {
      params = params[1].split(/\s*,\s*/);
    } else {
      params = null;
    }
    code = code.replace(/^[^{]*{/, '');
    code = code.replace(/}$/, '');
    if (params) {
      return new win.Function(params, code);
    }
    return new win.Function(code);
  }

The returned function can be used in the needed window. Something like:
parent.foo = importFunction(foo, parent);

A: You can always get the code for a given function calling it's toString() method:
parent.foo = new parent.Function( originalFunction.toString() );

Though I don't certainly know it's available in every browser, I think I've seen it working in major browsers, modern versions.

We continued our adventurous path to one of the most beautiful mountains in Serbia. By mysterious and magnificent beauty, preserved natural wealth and numerous cultural and historical sights, many people thinks of Golija as the most beautiful mountain of Serbia. It's almost unbelievably beautiful and suprising at its every step. Everyone who visited it admires its almost impenetrable forests, lush pastures, frequent and clean springs, inhabitants, and other rarities that it contains. In July 2001, the Government of the Republic of Serbia passed the Decree to place the Golija Mountain area under the protection of the "Golija Nature Park" and classified it as the 1st category of protection as a "natural good of exceptional importance".
The route from Kopaonik to Golija is simple and most importantly well lit for evening driving. The inhabitants of Golija welcomed us from the streets, as well as our new friends – a ghee, owl and a wild boar.
We arrived at Raska around 10 pm until our lodging – Hotel Golija. At the entrance to the hotel we came across a prepared eagle and a range of its wings of two meters. Immediately on the right side were prepared prepared wolves, foxes and various other hunting equipment. The owner of this facility is Mr. Golub, who has been hunting for a hunter and therefore stores his trophies exactly in this small room, on whose walls there are photographs from his hikes when organizing hunts for wolves and other hunting adventures.
At the reception of the hotel we were greeted by a young married couple with a smile on their faces. They gave us the keys from our room, and we paid 10 euros per person for a night. Service that includes bed and breakfast will cost you 15 euros. We had to get up at 6 in the morning to start with the detail discovery of the mountain, and the breakfast was planned to be in the pastures of Golija, so we did not have time to try delicious home-made breakfast at the hotel. In the morning, we were greeted by our host, Vlada. His wife, Neda, prepared a warm "turkish" coffee for us, and then we had the opportunity to hear a little about history of the oldest hotel on Golija. Isolated from the main road and surrounded by greenery, all built in an ethno, bohemic style with a view that expands on the thick forest, it represents a true mountain home. Hunting dogs, bubbly jumped all around us, full of energy and fond of socializing. Our hosts have many years of experience in working with children and athletes, both in winter and spring and in summer (recreational classes, nature lessons, excursions, sports preparations) as well as with individuals and families who come here to rest and become closer to nature. The price of all services that ski school for children here provides, is five times lower than the price of that similar ski school at Koponik mountain, and there is no difference in quality because they are real professionals. Safari tours with jeeps and squads are also organized here. Routes over Pešter to Uvac provide top enjoyment, socializing and unforgettable adrenaline rush while exploring the beautiful regions of western Serbia on these four-wheelers. For all information, reservations and benefits contact us via e-mail.
After a quick coffee and a pleasant conversation, we went to further research. Firstly we climbed to to the top of the highest peak of Golija, called Jankov kamen (1833m). Since we were thirsty and Golija is rich in waters – around 100 springs are layed all over it – we stopped at one to extinguish the thirst we saw a big cardboard warning sign next to it: "CAUTION, THERE ARE BEARS IN THE FOREST". The inscription itself awakened fear and excitement (perhaps even curiosity) because we were just walking down that same path. My friend Bojan, a passionate admirer of Mother Nature, who enjoys the most sleeping under a clear sky with his companion Coli, was with us the whole time, so we felt safe. He taught us how to behave if that unusual encounter with a bear happens to us. The path to Jankov kamen expands through the thick woods, and slightly rises near the top. According to the folk tradition, as the inhabitants told us, once upon a time, two brothers, Rajko and Janko bet on who will put the stone on the top of Golija. Rajko quickly carried his stone and jumped up near the top and dropped it and the stone fell into the brook below. Janko slowly carried his stone, but he reached the top. That is why the top of Golija is called Jankov kamen, and the stream in which Rajko's stone fell, residents call Rajkov potok.
As we enjoyed the view, from Janko's peak, there was a medicinal herb kantarion in abundance all around us. My sister, as a real housewife that she is, has gathered a lot of wild flowers to make essential oils and on this occasion I tell her that she should bring me that oil she promised me ASAP because I did not forget about that! ?
Wherever you go around Golija, you will see beautiful panoramas and viewpoints. In addition to the highest peak, there are also: Bojovo brdo (1748 m), Pašina Česma (1725 m), Radulovac (1725 m), Odvraćenica (1674 m), Tičar (1492 m) and many others.
Just 20 minutes by car when heading towards Ivanjica, on the left, spreads a beautiful oasis where the Dajić lake is shed. Don't miss it! It was educated from the atmospheric waters, and the lake water eventually dissolved the walls at its bottom, so that the basin of the lake was pulled up until it got released from where it still gets water and is maintained. It is located on the north-western side of the mountain, at the place called Dajići, and below the hill Tičar. Many legends and lectures are connected to this lake, but also scientific works. The name Dajićko lake was first mentioned in the files of Josif Pančić, Nedeljko Kosanin and Jovan Cvijić, while the residents of Tičar had the same name. Nedeljko Kosanin is one of the first scientists to study this lake. According to one legend, one upon a time, all the guests who were marching in one wedding parade, have been drowned in the lake, and so it is also called "Svatovsko" ("nuptial lake"would be a literal translation from Serbian language). According to some stories, mountain fairies also gather here. Our dog Koly walked out of the car frantically for the first time to duck a little and spread his legs, since his passion is fast running. As he performed his well-known sprint, he burst into the overgrown grass and barely noticeable lake. After that we gave the lake a new name – lake Koly. ?
They love to guard the sheep, take care of the house, do almost all the hard farm work, and help their parents. They have about seven years and a sincere, clear glance in their eyes, which remained deep inside our minds and hearts long after we've returned to Belgrade. They ran around us and they praised that they sold one cow and bought an aggregate so that their grandfather Milan and their grandmother could have electricity in their house.
Grandfather Milan is a special story. He greeted us while sitting on his benches, in front of the house, with a traditional Serbian hat called "shajkacha" on his head and a real home-made brandy made from quince. His gentle gaze and the face on which the steps of our strict history and farm work had strayed, had a unique value for us. Our host also told us that this beautiful village is a real birthplace of the Djokovic family name and our famous tennis player – Novak Djokovic, but that he never visited him. Novak, If you are reading this story, come and visit your relatives from here, they are eagerly waiting to meet you and to share their homemade brandy and bacon with you, tho it is not gluten-free. ?
Hospitality, sincere smiles, cordiality and good mood are just some of the features that our hosts presented us. They simply enjoy getting to know new people and exchanging a few sentences with them. There are no better guests for them than uninvited ones, and the story and socializing, along with local cuisine and drinks, continued late into the night. The plan was to go straight to Pešter from Golija, but these people have provided us with so much energy that we decided to stay and that Peščarska skela would have to wait for a little bit. Big thanks to our hosts for a wonderful welcome and indescribable energy that they unselfishly gave us!
If you want to be part of a story full of the Serbian spirit, culture and tradition and to isolate yourself from the city and it's chaos, let us know and become richer for an unforgettable experience with these glorious, warm people who are genuinely honest to each guest hearts rejoice.
Nature is so wild here, Is there many wild animals around Golija? Is it safe to go hiking?

Director Stephen Norrington's reboot of The Crow has been making headlines for a couple of years now and despite reservations from the franchise's fan base, it continues to gain momentum. Although its proposed summer start date came and went, the film has made a great deal of progress over the last few months.
Not only did we learn that Nick Cave would be rewriting Norrington's script, but that an offer was about to go out to a "major star" for the lead role. Like many fans, I've waited apprehensively for news on that decision as it's probably the most controversial and crucial aspect of this reboot.
Brandon Lee's performance in the 1994 film isn't just incredible - it's also impossibly intertwined with the real-life tragedy that took place behind-the-scenes. That's why fan outrage for a reboot of The Crow goes beyond mild annoyance. There are many who feel that the original film is in many ways Lee's legacy and that the very notion of another actor playing Eric Draven is disrespectful.
I don't know if I would take it that far, but the fact remains - Lee left some pretty big shoes to fill. Don't believe me? Ask a Crow fan how they feel about the television series The Crow: Stairway to Heaven, which featured Marc Dacascos as Draven.
So Norrington and Co.'s choice really has the power to make or break an audience's perception of this project. Which is why I was hoping for something so much more promising than this. According to Bloody Disgusting, the role of Eric Draven in The Crow reboot has been offered to Mark Wahlberg.
I have nothing against Wahlberg as an actor. I know he takes a lot of criticism, but when he works with the right directors the results are phenomenal. Still, I'm having an incredibly difficult time imagining him in this part. It's not just my adoration for Lee's performance, either. From the moment I heard they were planning to reboot The Crow, the only thing I was able to take comfort in was that it didn't sound like a remake of the 1994 movie so much as a different adaptation of the source material.
James O' Barr's graphic novel is an emotional gut punch brimming with rock n' roll attitude and iconic imagery - it's also considerably different from Alex Proyas' film. So even if I ignore the previous movie and focus exclusively on the comic, Wahlberg still seems like the wrong choice.
There's an aspect of the Draven character that's distinctly feminine - and I'm not just talking about his appearance. It's in his movement and personality as well. That's not something I can see Wahlberg pulling off.
Norrington has never made a great film, but he always struck me as a director who just hadn't found the right material to work with yet. I thought at the very least he would deliver something completely different than Proyas' version. I was also very receptive to the idea of Nick Cave being brought on board as I was a big fan of his script for The Proposition.
Hearing this news, though? All the good will I'd managed to build up towards The Crow reboot just evaporated.
However, the key word here is "offered." Wahlberg hasn't accepted yet, and with any luck he won't. How do you feel about Mark Wahlberg potentially starring in The Crow? Who would you cast in the role?

Expected return on investment: About 10% per year.
Comments on the installation: "Excellent. They were considerate and helpful."
Comments on the system performance: "As we had indicated by the installers. Power account currently in credit because of rebates. $50 - $100 less per month so far."
Advice: "If you have a north facing roof - go for it!"
Comments on the installation: "Yes, took great care. One day to install."
Comments on the system performance: "Last power bill was $1. Unbelievable!"
Advice: "I should have installed 20 panels rather than 12. Would have cost $2500 extra but would be money well spent."
Comments on the installation: "So easy. One day and all done. No mess. No fuss. "
Comments on the system performance: "Perfect time to install for the good weather at beginning of summer. We have saved about $100 per month. 1/3 if our bill. But it is summer in Auckland, won't be so good when it rains."
Advice: "Very happy with the results so far. Nice to be able to see what the solar is doing. Make sure you move your electric hot water to heating after 10am, and get maximum benefits from those sun rays. "
Comments on the installation: "Very respectful, very clear presentations"
Comments on the system performance: "Saving nearly 50% at presnet"
Advice: "The company I selected dropped the price 20% when a competitor gave me a better price. Pretty disconcerting!"
Comments on the installation: "install was earlier than expected. Everything went up very quickly. Minor issue with monitoring wiring sorted at a later date. Had to wait nearly 2 weeks for sign off etc."
Comments on the system performance: "System produces power but saving occur mainly on weekend as normally not at home when full sun is available. Extra is exported at present."
Comments on the installation: "The installers did a great job and sure they look after my property. It took them one day for installation but took 3 week for the inspector to signed off the system"
Comments on the system performance: "The solar power unit performed very well but it broke down after a month & now waiting for a replacement"
Advice: "Is a great investment. "
Comments on the installation: "Found them on the internet. The guys were very pleasant and mindful of our property. You could not wish for nicer guys."

Comments on the system performance: "The system seems to be producing consistent 8-10 kwh per day at present (Summer in Auckland). Have had only one power bill so far from Mercury for half of January- 173Kwh $47.54 as apposed to 173Kwh whole of January 2015 at $55.33.Non- discounted . So looking like a 8.6% saving."
Advice: "While the short term benefit may not look attractive, over time this has to be a better option than paying ever increasing electricity tarriffs."
Comments on the installation: "My Solar was installed and commissioned by "World Solar" and the company gave me a great customer experience. The installers were very competent, qualified and efficient. The Project Manager was very friendly and approachable. He responded promptly to any queries or concerns.

Comments on the system performance: "The Solar has made a significant difference in my Power Bill and I am happy about making the choice of having Solar to top up my electricity supply."
Advice: "Solar System is an investment that will provide savings to a household in a long run. In addition to this, Solar adds value to your House."
Comments on the installation: "Great. Installers were considerate and made sure we were happy with each part of the installation especially the placement of the inverter."
Comments on the system performance: "Yes performance great. Amazed that on some days we were producing more than 4 kW. Since installation early October we have not produced less than 10 kW. Our record day so far was this week when we produced 28.5 kW. Power bill down by $80 the first month but hopefully this will increase with summer."
Advice: "Down side of solar if you are not getting batteries installed is that you still use power at night - TV, lights, oven etc. The power companies charge you around 4x the price for your imported power as your exported power."
Comments on the installation: "Yes very impressed with sales and installer. Took one day to install ... left my house as if they had not been there ..,"
Comments on the system performance: "Well .. I founfd the hot water vac tube panel the best and made a good difference .. As for power solar panels not so impressive ... As changed power company and. Ended up with slightly after negotiation's higher per kilowatt but yes it's working well and have at the moment 400 kW of export power to get refund @8 cent a KW ..."
Stay with your power company a neg the price of power and meter .. Then get some prices from other companies to keep them honest ... Do your home work .. Watch the plus GST ... Use the al up including GST every time ...."
Comments on the installation: "Installation was quick and pain free except that when the salesperson came and checked my verandah (where the panels are installed) he didn't see that some of the purlins were rotten and so I had to get them back to remove the panels to allow the builder to replace them. The whole process took two hours plus there would have been two hours travel and they charged me for a whole day which I thought was a bit rich. Also, the salesperson said they would put some panels on the north-west facing verandah and some on the north east facing one which, unless you use micro-inverters on each panel is impossible with a single inverter. I would say that buyers really need to be well educated on solar systems and their requirements before purchasing them so as to get the best from their installation."
Comments on the system performance: "The system works pretty well although it could work better. The roof line shades the north east facing verandah roof in the afternoon so the generating period is shorter than it could be in Summer and Autumn. I have yet to see how it performs over winter. The 1.5 KwH system usually provides as much power as I use in a day except, as it is grid-tied rather than using battery storage, at night I use power from the grid. Also, my hot water heater is 3kW so the system doesn't generate enough to heat it. Over winter I have a wet back so that heats the water. I was paying on average $60 a month in electricity I now pay a total of approx $25 a month of which $10 is the daily rate. I've been keeping a tally of daily readings for two months and the daily average net electricity usage is 0.50c excl GST. So yes, the system does save me money. However for a family I'd say a bigger system would be required."
Advice: "If you are a smart electricity user, use the solar generation during the day when it is generating and keep night time use to a minimum, always turn off appliances and don't leave them on standby etc you will save money no doubt. There is encouraging news regarding battery storage with Tesla producing a 7.5kW and a 10kW battery for home gen use. They cost around $3500US and no doubt will come down in price over time. So going off the grid, which is what I want to do, is possible at a reasonable price."
Comments on the installation: "The installers were amazingly courteous and very respectful while explaining what they were doing along the way of the install."
Comments on the system performance: "We haven't had a bill yet but have been checking on the app and it appears to be working really well."
Advice: "Wish I had done it years ago and planning more installs on commercial buildings."
Comments on the installation: "Excellent, trouble free installation. Took 2 half days. However Counties Power took 2 months to install the smart meters but Xmas and New Year did intervene."
Comments on the system performance: "Performance satisfactory. Best week averaged 15.6 kWh/day, worst week in mid-Dec was 9.8 kWh/day. Best day = 19.9 kWh. Since solar was connected, 93 days ago we have produced 1236 kWh, averaging about 13.3 kWh/day. We were told that the system would average about 11.7 kWh/day over a year so the estimate looks good. Our power bills for November and January were about 20% less than previous year and we had guests over the festive period, which we didn't have in 2013. Don't know about power back to Contact Energy because no invoice since new meters were fitted. Very cloudy days in Auckland lately, need more sunshine! We had expected to save about 50% of our power bill but I doubt if it will be that much, maybe 30-40%. We need another 9 months to confirm that one way or the other. Contact Energy reducing their power buy back to 8c/kWh just after we decided to go solar was disappointing but we had guessed that would happen. There should be a Government minimum that power companies buy power back from customers for, probably about 15c/kWh. As usual the power distributers are ripping us off! The display monitor is excellent and we haven't tired of following the data. BUT the gadget itself is very temperamental and the slightest (and I mean slightest) brush against the power lead turns the monitor off.
Advice: "If you have funds sitting in a bank getting less than 4% interest then get solar asap. The savings on your power bill will far exceed the interest lost."
Comments on the installation: "Installation of the system took one day. It was pleasant experience, with the electrician, being polite, cheerful & respectful."
Comments on the system performance: "Whilst the weather has been more overcast than normal, the system is producing power at times more than expected in the winter months."
Comments on the installation: "Excellent communication and no hassles with instal - we were having a renovation done at the same time and they fitted in easily. Was only a few days - the panels on the roof and then hooking up the electrics with our sparky."
Comments on the system performance: "About what was expected in summer but less than we had hoped in winter. Power bills which had averaged $240pm across the year were little or nothing but are now up to $100"
Advice: "Look at how you use power and where possible use it during the day when it is likely to be free. We also put in a hot water heat pump which only runs between 10am and 2pm - heating a 300l tank which gets us through all day and night. Use timers if you aren't around during the day to turn on dishwashers, washing machines. etc."
Comments on the installation: "Installers were good. Approx 3 weeks delay while ordering parts. Then one day to install."
Advice: "In an act of frustration I cotacted Contact Energy. The information they provided was all by email, and again difficult to understand. No one was available to discuss my questions. If we are to expand the use of solar, it is vitally important that these companies must be required to present information and accounts that are simple to interpret and understand."
Comments on the installation: "A painless process, the installers were very respectful of our property, asking our opinion and agreement with aspects of the installation before going ahead."
Comments on the system performance: "Really good, in the summer months it saved us about $50 per month, probably about half that in the winter months."
Advice: "If you have the money in your bank, use it to install a solar system, it gives a better return than the bank interest. Borrowing money to install solar panels might not be so economic."
Comments on the installation: "The installers Sky Solar were very good . time to install about 2 days maybe 3. I recommended them to my to my brother Mike who has since had a 3 kw system installed."
Comments on the system performance: "Performance is good, more than enough for my needs, I am the only one in the house so far my power bill is showing credit".
Advice: "Better than most investments. I recommend it to any one that can afford it and has suitable roof aspect for the panels."

This month Sky & Telescope published a couple of articles that when combined pretty much blew my mind. The first news story was about the initial discovery of a planet orbiting the star Proxima Centauri. Proxima Centauri is the small red M dwarf star and is the nearest star to our solar system. This new world has been named Proxima Centauri b, has a mass of at least 1.3 times that of Earth and is thought to be a rocky planet. Its orbit is also within the so called "habitable zone" of the star, meaning that theoretically the temperature ranges on the planet's surface could support liquid water (which is widely accepted as something that is needed to support life).
Ok, so that's cool right? Maybe this planet orbiting a star a really long way away from us could support life or even have life currently living on the surface. But what if we could directly image this planet and its atmosphere? Yeah, that may actually be possible here in the next several years. The ESPRESSO spectrograph at the ESO's Very Large Telescope facility in Chile will be operational in 2017 and may just have the capability of determining the composition of Proxima Centauri b's atmosphere.
Just when you thought things couldn't any more futuristic and Sci-Fi crazy...what if I told you it might be possible to travel to this star system and this possible life-harboring planet? Not only is it theoretically possible to send a very small spacecraft there, but it is actively being developed. This Popular Science article talks about a project originally funded by Kickstarter that is beginning to develop an extremely small (just 1 or 2 gram) spacecraft that could potentially harness the power of the Sun and accelerate up to 20% of the speed of light. That would reduce the travel time to Proxima Centauri to just 20 years.

Conquistador's ship, and the anchors are able to be discovered in Mexico
to connectVideoAztec Monolith was Found at the Mexican site
Engraved into the stone rather than by the employees
Archaeologists have discovered two of the 16th-century to anchor off the coast of Mexico, which may be of the ships, which are to be used, by the conquistador Hernán Cortés.
The iron anchors were found from the Villa Rica in the state of Veracruz, Mexico: Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia (INAH) announced Tuesday.
One of the posts is 12 feet long, with a width of 5 feet between the tips. The other post is for 8.5 m in length, with a width of 4.7 metres. A few of the bumps in the road, which runs parallel to the anchor's arms, it is a typical 16th-century ground anchors, according to experts in the field.
EXPERTS ARE DISCOVERING " CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS ANCHORED AT THE CARIBBEAN WRECK SITE
The researchers say it is too early to say whether or not the anchors of the ships, which are to be used, by Cortes, who led the conquest of Spain, even though they all agree that he was sinking his ships in that place. Cortés lands in Veracruz with 500 a year ago, in April, 1519, and deliberately, sank 10 of his ships to prevent his forces to leave. In August, 1521, he defeated the Aztec empire.

Another, smaller anchor was discovered in the area in 2018, with laboratory analysis showing that it is the remains of the wooden stock of a 15th-century boom in the Cantabrian cornice region of northern Spain.
"It is not clear if all three posts are part of the same historical moment, but rather their alignment to the south-west is consistent with the logic of the Villa Rica as a port, protecting ships from the north and north-west winds," said project co-director Roberto Junco, D. Ph., the head of the underwater archaeology office of INAH in a statement.
GRISLY HUMAN SACRIFICE DISCOVERY, THE SKULLS AND REVEAL THE TERRIBLE SECRETS OF THE LOST AZTEC CITY OF
The discovery is sure to cast more light on an area that has played an important role in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire.
The researchers are planning to study in 15 of the other "anomalies" on the ocean floor, which can also be a anchor during the next swim season. This can lead to marine archaeologists, wood hull of the Cortes,' the sunken ships.
"The time of the Conquest of Mexico was a seminal event in human history, and in these wrecks, if we can find them, are the images of the cultural collision that led to what we now call the West, geo-political and social talk," said project co-director Frederick Hanselmann, D. Ph., the University of Miami, in a statement.
In a separate project, in 2017, when the marine archaeologists have discovered a century-old anchor, located in the Caribbean area, which she said could be from one of Christopher Columbus' ships.

Q: compile error with function-like macro gcc 4.7.2
    c89
Hello,
I am working on some maintainance and I have the following function-like macros:
#define GET_ERROR() ((errno == 0) ? "None" : strerror(errno))

#define LOG_ERR(fmt, ...)                                               \
    fprintf(stderr, "[ERROR] %s:%d: error [%s] " fmt "\n", __func__, __LINE__, GET_ERROR(), ##__VA_ARGS__)

#define LOG_ASSERT(ARG, fmt, ...) do {                          \
        if(!(ARG)) {                                            \
            char arg_fmt[512];                                  \
            snprintf(arg_fmt, sizeof arg_fmt, "%s, ", #ARG);    \
            strcat(arg_fmt, fmt);                               \
            LOG_ERR(arg_fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__);                    \
            errno = 0;                                          \
            abort();                                            \
        }                                                       \
    } while(0)

The LOG_ASSERT will simulate an assert function. But will contain some extra information from the strerror errno.
Which I am using like this:
LOG_ASSERT(msg_id != -1, "Failed to connect to the message queue [ %d ]", msg_id);

So it should display like this:
"msg_id != -1, Failed to connect to the message queue [ -1 ]"

I have prefixed the "msg_id != -1" at the beginning of the fmt using strcat.
However, I get these compile errors that I cannot seem to fix. I thought it was something easy, and just want to get another idea if I am missing something simple.
error: expected ')' before 'arg_fmt'
warning: format '%s' expects a matching 'char *' argument [-Wformat]
warning: format '%d' expects a matching 'int' argument [-Wformat]
warning: format '%s' expects a matching 'char *' argument [-Wformat]

I know that some people might not agree with this macros, but this is what I have to maintain.
Many thanks for any suggestion

A: As far as I know you can only concatenate constant string literals, not char arrays, here's your problem:
fprintf(stderr, "[ERROR] %s:%d: error [%s] " fmt "\n", __func__, ....

fmt is a character array, you will need another buffer to copy the format or you could just split the printf
#define LOG_ERR(fmt, ...)                                               \
    fprintf(stderr, "[ERROR] %s:%d: error [%s] ", __func__, __LINE__, GET_ERROR());\
    fprintf(stderr, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)

Measles outbreak in US triggers quarantine at varsities
Measles as a disease was declared eliminated nearly two decades ago but it has seen a resurgence in the US, UK, France and Nigeria among many others. Photo: IANS
Los Angeles: Nearly 300 students and employees at two Los Angeles universities have been quarantined after possible exposure to measles, the schools said.
The quarantine was done at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA), the NBC News reported.
The University of California said 76 students and six faculty members remained in quarantine on Thursday after a student with measles attended class three days this month.
Measles as a disease was declared eliminated nearly two decades ago but it has seen a resurgence in the US, UK, France and Nigeria among many others. The measure comes as the US battles the highest number of measles cases since the country declared the virus eliminated in 2000.
The UCLA said the last possible exposure at the university was April 9, and the highest risk for developing measles has already passed.
The varsity also said that the quarantine was expected to last between 24 and 48 hours for most, but a few may need to remain in quarantine for up to seven days.
The US has confirmed 695 cases of measles, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Wednesday. Many of the case occurred in the states of New York and Washington.
California has confirmed 38 cases, state health officials have said.
"Both universities are assisting with the implementation of quarantine orders and determining how best to support students who must be quarantined and who live on campus," the Department of Public Health said.

Local stars launch hospital appeal
Pictured: Andrew Cannell, Jamie Carragher, Sam Quek, Reece Holt, Graeme Sharp and Ian Snodin launch The New Cancer Hospital Appeal at the site of the new Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool.
Some of Merseyside's biggest sports stars joined patients and fundraisers to launch the appeal to build a new cancer hospital for Liverpool. Olympic gold medal hockey player Sam Quek, and former Liverpool and Everton footballers Jamie Carragher, Graeme Sharp and Ian Snodin were at the site of the new Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Liverpool city centre for the landmark event.
They joined ten year- old Reece Holt, who was treated at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust in Wirral for a brain tumour, to officially start the £15 million appeal.
Katrina Bury, Head of the Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, said: "One in two of us will develop cancer over our lifetime so this new hospital is vitally important for the people of Merseyside and Cheshire.
"We are only going to get one chance in our lifetime to build a brand new facility like this, which will transform cancer care for generations to come.
"I would like to thank Sam, Jamie, Graeme, Ian and of course Reece for helping us launch this incredibly important appeal. We hope everyone will get behind us and help to build a cancer hospital that we can all be proud of."
Reece, 11, from Morecambe in Lancashire who was treated with radiotherapy after surgery for an aggressive grade three brain tumour, said: "I can't wait to see the hospital once it is built, it looks like something out of the future and I'm excited about the new technology for treating patients like me."
Mum Rachel O'Neil said: "Until the morning of the 5th May last year cancer didn't affect me or anyone I knew. By 7pm that evening my son was on full life support fighting for his life. Why should you get behind and donate if it doesn't affect you? Because it can happen in the blink of an eye and the work they do at Clatterbridge is invaluable."
Sam said: "I would urge everyone to get behind this appeal in any way they can. It is really important that the great work of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Wirral extends to Liverpool. This is an innovative city and it is incredible to see Liverpool at the centre of expert treatment and cancer research."
Graeme said: "The staff at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre do a fantastic job and it is great that this new facility will be opening in Liverpool and working towards eradicating cancer. This appeal is something everyone should get behind. Cancer has touched my family and I think most families, so it is really important that the city's football clubs back this appeal."
Jamie said: "I am very pleased to be involved today. Cancer is something that affects us all at some time in our lives whether individually in our life or through a family member or a friend. I think to have the new centre here can only be great for the city."
Andrew Cannell, chief executive of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust, said: "Our new hospital, due to open in Liverpool city centre in 2019, is part of an exciting programme of capital investment of £157m to expand and improve cancer care in Merseyside and Cheshire.
"We want to continue to change cancer care for the better and we can only do this by investing in our current sites in Wirral and Aintree, and building a brand new cancer hospital in the heart of Liverpool.
"To ensure we really can achieve our vision for patient's right across the region, we are launching this extremely important £15m public appeal.
"With the support of the people of Merseyside and Cheshire, this new hospital alongside our existing network of ten operating sites means that patients will benefit from the most advanced cancer treatment, expertise and research as close to home as possible."
As well as the new hospital due to open in 2019, £8 million will be invested in the current site in Wirral as part of the £157 million investment in transforming cancer care. The radiotherapy centre at Clatterbridge Cancer Centre Aintree, and chemotherapy clinics in the region's district hospitals will also continue to treat patients.
People are being invited to join in the drive by going green, the corporate colour of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre NHS Foundation Trust and its charity.
Schools, colleges and businesses have been holding green days, people have been having green bake sales and a number of landmark buildings in Merseyside, Cheshire and the Isle of Man have been lighting up in green in support of the appeal.
Social media is awash with the hashtag #letsgogreen and people are being encouraged to post a selfie dressed in green and make a donation to the fund.
People who want to help can also text Lets194 to 70070 to make a donation of £4.


The Foothill – De Anza district must openly address and combat sexual harassment with more resources allocated toward Title IX services.
Both De Anza and Foothill have failed to emphasize zero tolerance policies. There is no attempt at advertising Title IX services or identifying other victims of sexual misconduct, nor are resources made available to those who come forward.
On May 10, Foothill College's newspaper The Script broke news of sexual harassment allegations implicating Dominic Caserta, political science adjunct at both Foothill and De Anza, involving students at Santa High School and Foothill.
While certain legal obligations require personnel confidentiality, Foothill-De Anza has failed to make any statement regarding their policies on sexual misconduct, nor have they reached out to other potential victims. Indifference in matters of student and faculty safety does not save face; it directly damages those who the administration should be protecting. Unfortunately, our district's lack of effort is nothing new.
The Title IX section of the De Anza website is laden with documents featuring pages and pages of policies, with an outline for filing a complaint. But there is no transparency surrounding the process of investigating a complaint, no set timeline and no guarantee of closure for those who do file complaints.
There is little to no publicity about students' options for reporting on-campus incidents of sexual misconduct, and students might report professors to a dean who is not trained to handle sexual misconduct.
All positions relating to Title IX are held by those with extensive responsibilities already. These faculty and staff cannot allocate enough of their time and energy to helping victims of sexual harassment and assault, and they shouldn't have to.
Statistically, the few publicized sexual harassment cases over the years were probably not isolated incidents.
Systematically discouraging people from coming forward may keep a cleaner record, but the idea that our district wants to ignore sexual harassment is deeply disturbing.
In the fall, La Voz conducted a survey of students' experiences with sexual harassment and assault; several students anonymously admitted harassment from De Anza instructors that they never reported.
While there are mandatory CLERY statistic reports published at the end of each year, these don't necessarily the reflect the experiences of students, as CLERY only considers on-campus arrests. A 2016 guide from the CLERY Center specifically highlights underreporting of sexual misconduct, stating that only 28 percent of incidents are reported, and that 50 percent of victims do not consider the crimes against them serious enough to report.
With no guarantee and no clear path to justice, victims are left silenced and unsupported.
Emphasis on open enrollment means there is no mandatory orientation for students, meaning no mandatory education on identifying or reporting sexual misconduct.
This issue is concurrent with the unprecedented budget strain; it's more important than ever that district officials are cognizant of students' basic needs like protection from sexual harassment.
De Anza and Foothill: Step up and keep students safe. Do not turn your back on victims through vague processes and not allocating enough Title IX staff. Do not rest until sexual harassment is no longer an unfortunate reality on campus.


When I was in high school, I was never in the band (sadly, no musical talent runs through these veins), but that never stopped me from longing after one of those incredible jackets. Years later, in walks Denim and Supply, and those long lost dreams come true. The excessive trimming and dominant buttons fulfill all of my overly ornamental fantasies, and turn an otherwise boring outfit of a white blouse and jeans a bit funky.

GeekDad Puzzle of the Week: Old Maid
Garth Sundem
There are games that are fairly basic like chess, Othello and mahjong. And then there's Old Maid. At my house, we've been playing some serious Maid and when I play, I play to win. Which is why I need your help. What I'm wondering is this: when if ever is it best to be dealt the Maid, and when is it best to remain blissfully unaware of her whereabouts until you're safely out of cards and out of the game?
Image: Flickr/ccarlstead
First a quick refresher: in Old Maid, cards are dealt and then players take turns picking blindly from other players' hands. If a player ever has a match she lays down the matched cards. A player who lays down all her cards is safely out of the game. The player left holding the Old Maid at the end of the game loses. The massive complexity lies in the chance that the Maid will travel -- potentially a couple times -- before she is finally left old, alone and mumbling something about soft crackers.
Imagine the following scenarios. In each, is it best to be dealt the Old Maid or not? Each correct, well-explained answer will earn an entrance into the drawing for this week's $50 ThinkGeek gift certificate!
A two-person, five-card game in which your opponent has the first draw.
A two-person, five-card game in which you have the first draw.

There has been a rise in the popularity of cannabidiol (CBD) and its usage, during the last decade. The cannabidiol is an active cannabinoid that is found in cannabis & CBD accounts for forty percent of the plant's extract. Many types of research and studies are being conducted actively on the medical usage of cannabidiol or CBD.
The scope of cannabidiol is found to be vast, especially in medical conditions such as Parkinson's disease. It was proved in many studies and researches that cannabidiol can play a major role in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and its symptoms.
The symptoms of the Parkinson's disease reveal themselves slowly and over a period. This is a degenerative and progressive disorder of CNS (Central Nervous System). It affects the patient's motor activity mainly & gets worse with time. The symptoms of the Parkinson's disease can be segregated into three major groups; the primary motor-symptom, the secondary motor-symptom, and the non-motor symptom.
The primary motor-symptoms include rigidity, shaking, difficulty in walking, and slow movements. These symptoms are also known as Parkinsonism. The other symptoms start appearing as the time progresses. Dementia is a prevalent symptom.
The Parkinson's disease mainly affects the neurons or nerve cells in one particular part of the human brain known as the substantia nigra. The majority of these neurons produce dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical, which acts mainly as one neurotransmitter in the human brain and that means it sends the signals to the other neurons or nerve cells. There are basically five pathways, and with these five pathways, the brain is mainly connected. Through these five channels, the dopamine is sent.
The Parkinson's disease affects all the five pathways. With the progression of the Parkinson's disease, the dopamine's amount produced by human brain decreases which result in an inability to control movements of a person.
The cannabidiol and the chemical compounds that are present in the cannabis can help in alleviating a broad range of conditions, deficiencies, and health problems such as the Parkinson's disease. Use of cannabidiol offers symptomatic relief from the symptoms of Parkinson's disease much like supplements and medications.
Many recent studies and researches suggest that the use of cannabidiol can give relief from the symptoms of Parkinson's disease. However, the studies also suggest that the CBD provides temporary relief from the symptoms. This is one valuable benefit. When the motivation, energy, and focus return, the process of taking necessary steps to heal or treat from inside out can commence at long last.
Many recent studies reveal the benefits of CBD or cannabidiol on Parkinson's disease. The benefits of CBD can play a significant role in improving the quality of life of the patient. It also makes sure that there are no additional psychiatric co morbidities. However, studies and researchers with specific objectives and larger samples are needed before drawing definitive conclusions. Nevertheless, the beneficial effects of CBD on the Parkinson's disease cannot be denied. It can contribute to the treatment of Parkinson's disease in a significant manner.

From Beaker to Barrel
Meet Rebekah Wineburg, a chemist who couldn't resist the lure of the vineyard, and Quintessa's new winemaker.
Q: Did you grow up with wine?
A: I grew up in Washington, D.C., and my family drank wine, but we're not wine collectors. When I was 16, we went to Napa and I was fascinated by fermentation science and the chemistry of winemaking. That's what first gave me the idea of becoming a winemaker, and in college I had a chemistry professor who encouraged me as well.
Q; What was your first really great bottle?
A: While I was in Davis, studying wine and viticulture for my master's degree, I went to dinner with my father and we ordered a half-bottle of Ornellaia. It was a profound experience. I went right back to school and enrolled in an Italian class. I took Italian for a year, translated my cover letter and résumé into Italian and applied for jobs—and I actually got a job at Ornellaia. All because I tasted one wine, I had to go there.
Q: That experience sounds like the opposite of a chem lab.
A; Yeah, science got me interested in wine, but it's the intangible, the beauty of wine that keeps me interested. I like understanding why something is happening, but wine is so complex that you can never really understand it all. There really is a magic to it; you can't define what makes it beautiful, what's made it a part of people's lives for so long.
Q: What drew you to Napa?
A: It's fun to work in a New World region where the rules haven't already been written. And in Napa, you also have great tradition and great terroir.
Q: Is it exciting to take the reins at Quintessa?
A: A dream come true. The estate is like its own little country—you have a lake, a valley, a river, and hillsides—and I spend a lot of time walking the vineyard, getting a handle on all the far little corners, getting a core sense of what Quintessa is. That's what my mission is, too. The Huneeus family calls it being a "soul keeper": Understanding the estate and understanding how it can be portrayed in the wine. I hadn't heard that term before, but I like it.
Q: What's your first big project?
A: Most of the vineyard is still the original plantings from 1990, and we're embarking on a replanting program that'll take us into the next generation of Quintessa. That's our focus right now: really looking at our soils and at what varieties, what clones, are going to bring Quintessa into the future. •

Pandemic plan tackles fake news, racism, and isolation
April 30th, 2020 Posted by James Devitt-NYU

social lives
New York University, Stanford University
Researchers have outlined ways to manage different facets of life under the spread of the COVID-19 virus, including how we can combat racially driven bias and fake news and how we can increase cooperation and better manage stress.
The plan in the journal Nature Human Behaviour considers research stretching over the past half century to offer insights about how to address current circumstances.
"The COVID-19 pandemic represents a massive, global health crisis," says Jay Van Bavel, an associate professor in the psychology department at New York University.
"Because the crisis requires large-scale behavior change and poses significant psychological burdens on individuals, insights from the social and behavioral sciences are likely going to be very helpful for optimizing pandemic response."
"This interdisciplinary review points to several ways in which research can be immediately applied to optimize response to this pandemic, but also points to several important gaps that researchers should move quickly to fill in the coming weeks and months," adds Robb Willer, a sociologist from Stanford University.
The analysis focuses on phenomena linked to COVID-19, connecting existing scholarship to potential courses of action in several areas, including the following: "group threat," "fake news and misinformation," "social norms," and "stress and coping."
Group threat
The authors, referring to recent attacks on ethnic Asians in predominantly white countries, note that "Europe's most deadly disease, the bubonic plague of the 14th century, unleashed massive violence, including the murder of Catalans in Sicily, clerics, and beggars in some locations, and pogroms against Jews, with over a thousand communities eradicated."
However, they point to research that indicates pandemics may, in fact, present opportunities to reduce religious and ethnic prejudice: "coordinated efforts across individuals, communities, and governments to fight the spread of disease send strong signals of cooperation and shared values, which allow people to recast others who were previously considered out-group members as in-group members."
The authors recount cooperative acts currently unfolding: More than 20 countries donated medical supplies to China in February, and China has reciprocated. "Government officials can highlight events like these to improve out-group attitudes," they write, adding that other studies have shown that making people feel safer can reduce prejudice.
Fake news and misinformation
Fake news and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 have undoubtedly proliferated on social media, but new research has explored social-science based solutions to counter the spread of fake news. Fact-checking and correction offer potential remedies, as do source expertise, bipartisanship in messaging, and messages from "unlikely sources"—those who benefit from the original misinformation.
But the researchers acknowledge that fact-checking and corrections may not keep up with the vast amount of false information produced in moments of crisis like a pandemic and that approaches beyond debunking are necessary.
In response, they offer what scholars term a "pre-bunking approach," which centers on psychological inoculation. Studies have found that preemptively exposing people to small doses of misinformation techniques (including scenarios about COVID-19) can reduce susceptibility to fake news.
Another preventative approach involves subtle prompts that emphasize accuracy (for instance, asking users to judge the veracity of a single neutral headline). Researchers have found in prior work that these kinds of prompts improve the quality of the content users share and that social media platforms could easily implement them.
"To effectively counter fake news about COVID-19 around the world, governments and social media companies must rigorously develop and test interventions in collaboration with independent behavioral scientists," the authors advocate.
"This includes identifying treatments that effectively reduce belief in misinformation, while not undermining belief in accurate information—a particularly salient concern given evidence that most exposure to and sharing of fake news in the US has been concentrated among relatively small sub-sections of the population."
"How much people change will be influenced by aspects of the social and cultural context," the researchers write. "The fact that people tend to follow social norms and cultural mores can sometimes have undesirable consequences. For example, continuous exposure to news examples of people going out might explain why it was difficult to convince Italians to stay at home after the COVID-19 lockdown of March 11."
But they also report that "understanding these features of the social environment, such as social norms, social inequality, culture, and polarization, can help identify risk factors and successful messages and interventions."
Prior studies have found that our decisions are influenced by social norms—what we perceive others are doing or approve/disapprove of—and that "informational influence" occurs when people use others' behavior as input for reasonable interpretations and responses. Notably, this effect is stronger when people are uncertain and outcomes are important—as in during a pandemic.
However, the authors caution that although perceptions of norms influence us, research has shown that our estimates of behavior are frequently inaccurate. For example, people can underestimate the frequency others engage in health-promoting behaviors (e.g., hand washing) and overestimate their unhealthy ones (e.g., not properly covering one's mouth when coughing).
In order to most effectively change behaviors by correcting misperceptions, the authors point to the importance of public messages that reinforce health-promoting norms (e.g., social distancing and hand-washing) and not highlighting extreme or uncommon behaviors, such as panic buying or young adults gathering.
Stress and coping
Public health experts say that one of the most vital strategies for slowing the spread of COVID-19 is "social distancing"—a practice that, while beneficial, "clashes with the deep-seated human instinct to connect with others, especially during emotional times," the authors observe. Studies have shown social connection "helps people regulate affect, cope with stress, and remain resilient during difficult times" while other scholarship has revealed that "loneliness and social isolation worsen the burden of stress, and produce deleterious effects on mental, cardiovascular, and immune health."
However, the researchers list ways we can diminish the ill effects of isolation.
One, they advocate replacing the term "social distancing"—when possible—with "physical distancing." This change, they say, would "highlight the fact that deep social connection with a broader community is possible even when people are physically apart through the use of technology."
Two, they cite the value of online forums, which have long served as hubs for mutual support—in particular, among individuals with rare illnesses—and psychological well-being. Experts have found other technologies, such as FaceTime and Zoom, valuable in generating empathy and connection.
Van Bavel and Willer recognize potential barriers to these tools for seniors.
"Special attention should be placed on helping older adults—who might be less familiar with these technologies—to learn and acclimate to the potential richness of digital connections. COVID-19 will leave many of us confused, anxious, and lonely," they write.
'Urgent action'
"Urgent action is needed to mitigate the potential devastation of COVID-19, and drawing from existing knowledge can help ensure we are taking constructive steps," Van Bavel says.
"In addition, the lessons from past studies should be relevant to future pandemics and other public health crises. Whether policy makers are trying to increase vaccination rates or reduce the harm of climate change, they will be fundamentally facing many of the same issues in the future."
"By applying the knowledge gained from earlier research, we hope that public health experts will be better equipped to communicate effectively and drive behavior change in a manner that yields global benefits," adds Willer.

Ethicists: COVID-19 shows inequities in structure of society
COVID-19: Is 6 feet apart far enough?


So yesterday the "feeling in my gut" (literally) was "spot" on (I need to get out more!). Today is CD1 so I ate my last chocolate treat and I savoured it. I washed it down with some ibuprofen and embraced the cramps. Tomorrow, even though it's a Saturday I will set my alarm for 6am. I will calmly ice a spot on my lower abdomen – any recommendations for where hurts less? – and when it's reasonably numb I will wipe an alcohol swap on it & wait for it to dry as I hear that it can sting if you don't. Once I've finished procrastinating I will then stick myself with 112.5 of Gonal F.
From what a quick google search tells me, Gonal F seems to be relatively symptom free and easy to handle and they have put me on a very low dose to avoid OHSS. People take 3 times my dose and are relatively symptom free so that's good news. I'll go in for my day 5 scan to see how I'm responding & at that point if we need to up the dose then so be it. I would definitely start low and up it if needed. When I took clomid my progesterone level went from 20.1 to 173 in one month, I know that my body is capable of doing this.
My scan appt is booked in for 7am on Weds next week and it's only 25 mins on the tube from my work so in theory I won't even be late for work as I start at 8am. If I'm a little late I can just blame the trains.

SERGIO GARCIA has named his daughter Azalea, after the thirteenth hole at Augusta – where he made a miracle par within the last spherical to spark his Masters victory cost.
The Spanish star's spouse, Angela gave start to Azalea Adele Garcia yesterday, and he instantly posted an image of his first youngster on Twitter.
The holes at Augusta are all named after the crops or bushes that dominate their stretch of the course, and it was on the par 5 thirteenth that Garcia breathed new hope into his title problem final April.
He had to take a penalty drop when his wild drive landed in an azalea bush. However he virtually holed his fourth shot, and knocked within the putt to keep away from a harmful bogey.
He adopted up with a birdie on the 14th, eagled the lengthy fifteenth, and added one other birdie at sixteen to drive a play-off with Justin Rose.
Garcia then clinched victory with yet one more birdie on the primary additional hole, however admitted the thirteenth had proved the turning level.
He commented: "I knew I wanted to make that putt to keep in it. I knew what I might do, what I did on 14, 15,sixteen.
Garcia had carried out his pre-Augusta press convention from the hospital in Austin, Texas where his spouse gave start, and had to wait virtually 20 hours to welcome his daughter at 1.45am.
He's now anticipated to take his place in subsequent week's World Match Play Championship – which is being performed in Austin – earlier than heading to Augusta to bid for a second inexperienced jacket.

David Buel Knickerbacker (February 24, 1833 – December 31, 1894), was an American Episcopal clergyman who in 1883 became the fourth bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Indiana and 130th bishop in the line of succession in the American episcopate.

Early life and education
Born on February 24, 1833, at Schaghticoke, Rensselaer County, New York, he was the son of Mary Delia (Buell) Knickerbocker and her husband Herman Knickerbocker, a lawyer and former Congressman from New York. David Buel Knickerbocker was educated at Trinity College, Hartford and the General Theological Seminary in New York City.

Ministry
Soon after his graduation from seminary in 1856 he went as a missionary to Minneapolis Minnesota, then a village of three hundred people, and remained there 27 years, during which time he did much to direct its growth. He built three churches there, including Gethsemane Episcopal Church, and five in its outlying districts. He founded Cottage Hospital (1870), the first hospital in the city of Minneapolis, which was moved and renamed St. Barnabas Hospital (1871–1991), which ultimately was closed and sold in 1991 to Hennepin County Medical Center, and the Sheltering Arms Hospital. In 1877 he was elected missionary bishop of New Mexico and Arizona but declined.

After becoming the fourth bishop of Indiana in 1883, he founded a boarding school for boys at Turner and another for girls in Indianapolis and secured $25,000 toward an endowment for the Diocese of Indiana. He also founded the Church Worker, a monthly publication of which he was editor. He received the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity from Trinity College in 1871.

Family
He was married to Sarah (Moore) Knickerbocker in Brooklyn, New York, in the summer of 1856. They had two children. Their daughter died of illness in Minneapolis in 1865, at the age of seven, and their son David was killed when attempting to jump on  railcars at the St. Paul & Pacific depot in the fall of 1866. Bishop Knickerbacker died December 31, 1894, in Indianapolis and was buried next to his wife in Crown Hill Cemetery.

This week, the Coalition hosted an all-member meeting focused on the consolidation of the Multiple Award Schedules program. As you may recall, the General Services Administration announced in November that it will be merging the program's 24 schedules into a single one for best value solutions. During this week's meeting, Stephanie Shutt, the director of GSA's MAS Program Management Office, provided members with an update and answered questions about GSA's plans for the transition. The Coalition sincerely appreciates her open dialogue with industry, and we look forward to continuing the dialogue in the coming months.
As many of you know, the Coalition has been a strong advocate for the single schedule concept, which will help to reduce costs for both government and industry stakeholders, as well as increase competition and customer access to best value solutions. Through this approach, GSA can inject much-needed consistency into the MAS program, promote competition, and increase the delivery of best-value solutions to customer agencies. At the same time, however, there continue to be opportunities to further streamline and enhance the MAS program. In light of this consolidation effort, the Coalition believes it is time for GSA to consider another innovative improvement — a schedules telecommunications solution.
The scope and structure of the EIS vehicle is of particular concern to the Coalition and its members, as it unduly restricts competition by designating several mandatory and optional solutions. Specifically, to be eligible to provide "optional" products/services under the EIS vehicle, an offerer must also provide the "mandatory" telecommunications-based solutions. Consequently, this structure eliminates the ability of numerous cloud service providers, call center providers, and equipment suppliers from competing directly for requirements under the EIS vehicle. Under these circumstances, competition is limited to a small subset of the information technology and telecommunications market.
This limitation on competition is particularly of concern when considering recent contracting decisions of the Department of Homeland Security. Specifically, DHS issued a request for information in January that sought to identify companies that would be suitable for providing contact center services. Since that time, however, DHS has informed industry stakeholders that it intends to pursue a solution via the EIS contract vehicle. Consequently, rather than utilizing the highly competitive MAS program, DHS is limiting this opportunity, which is for services that are considered "optional" under the EIS vehicle, to a subset of nine technology and telecommunications companies.
