Q: How do I differentiate between an empty window text and an error with the GetWindowText API? The GetWindowText function's return value is documented as follows:

If the function succeeds, the return value is the length, in
  characters, of the copied string, not including the terminating null
  character. If the window has no title bar or text, if the title bar is
  empty, or if the window or control handle is invalid, the return value
  is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Now, when calling this method and receiving a return value of zero, how do I know whether GetLastError would return a sensible value? After all, zero is not only used to indicate failure, but could also mean that the window text is empty, in which case GetLastError would not return an undefined value.
My own ideas:

*

*At first, I thought that maybe GetWindowText might set the last error to 0 on success. But testing shows it doesn't (and if it did, I couldn't rely on it anyway, since this isn't documented).

*Then, I thought that maybe GetWindowText might leave the last error unchanged on success, so setting it to 0 myself before the call would allow me to check whether the last error has changed. Testing shows this might work, but since it's not doumented this way, I can't rely on it. (And I guess this would depend heavily on the concrete circumstances and implementation of GetWindowText.)

*And, of course, I could first check the window text length using GetWindowTextLength and then call GetWindowText only if the length was greater than 0. However, what if the window changes its text between my calls to GetWindowTextLength and GetWindowText? I, again, couldn't rely on a return value of zero denoting an error.

So, what can I do to definitely decide whether GetWindowText failed?

A: SetLastError(ERROR_SUCCESS) beforehand is perfectly safe and supported.
The documentation for last-error codes make it clear that a function may or may not clear the last-error value on success.  What is certain, however, is that if a function succeeds, it will either leave the last-error value unchanged, or set it to zero, but never change it to an error value.
The implementation rules for WinAPI functions may be summarized as:

*

*Don't call SetLastError if no error occurs.

*If a helper function sets an error code, which does not cause failure of your API, call SetLastError(0) so the non-fatal internal error isn't visible to the caller, or call RestoreLastError and pass whatever GetLastError returned on entry to your API

*If your API fails without throwing an SEH exception, call SetLastError to report it (unless a helper function already did).

The documented behavior "some functions call SetLastError with a zero when they succeed" is a consequence of point #2.

A: Yes, you are right, you cannot actually use GetLastError() to see the difference.  Not pretty.  The only workaround I can think of is to use IsWindow() afterward.  If that returns TRUE then a zero return really means "empty string".  That, however, doesn't deal with passing a bad buffer pointer, hopefully easily avoided in your code.

Although Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, Christmastime is about family tradition for me. It's a time of hot cocoa, clay-mation movies, festive lights, board games, carols, chilly weather, greeting cards, crafts, photos, and all the memories created in the process.
What is your favorite thing about this time of year and which ever religious holiday you celebrate?
I love your Christmas decorations! Did you make the ornaments from the kits I sent you? Isn't that snowman from Picture #1 from the kit?

For I am Dead, a powerful short film produced by Al Nazemian and directed by Patricia Delso Lucas, is eloquently beautiful and poignant, able to stir emotions. It is a journey that the film's protagonist, Oscar undertakes and realizes that love is perhaps the most important ingredient of a happy and fulfilling life. Al Nazemian, also the producer of this period piece, plays Oscar with must gusto and with a stunning ease.
Oscar is dark and passionate, struggling to find a way of dealing with his homophobia while trying to be true to himself. He is besotted with his gardener, Jude, performed by Riggsby Lane who does a beautiful job but it was Nazemian who takes the trophy home. He speaks through his eyes and makes his audience connect with his demonic conflicts and steals the show in the truest sense of the phrase.
The beauty of Patricia's nuanced filmmaking lies in the fact that the two main characters were not left alone to perform their best, the supporting cast was believable too. Patricia has been able to create a poetry in motion. Every frame, every detail is taken care of and the outcome is brilliant. She actually wears three hats in this film – director, art-director and production designer.
The music in the film is good and has been directed by Tom Bourgeois while David Ferral has taken care of the sound design part. Both Bourgeois and Ferral have been able to create an experience that stays with you after you have watched the film. The costumes designed by Miguel Peñaranda Olmeda are both beautiful and authentic. The film deals with the complexities of homosexuality and its acceptance in the late 1800 in Europe.
Here, the struggle is more within, the battle being fought is with one's own self and yet it is never preaching. The director creates a window that helps you take a glimpse of Oscar's tormented world, you don't judge him for his self-doubt as you look into his soulful eyes. More such stories of self-acceptance and discovery are needed and we look up to Patricia and Al to bring them to this world.

This book tackles the role of interrelated conditions in the manifestation and course of pulmonary ailments. The articles run the gamut from basic to clinical science on such topics as airway allergy challenges, pulmonary dysfunction due to exposure to environmental pollution, molecular and functional aspects of smoking in lung carcinogenesis and in obstruction-related respiratory disorders, and others. Attention is directed to the developments in rehabilitative and lifestyle interventions in chronic disabilities, particularly involving neuromotor and stress-related conditions which, with advancing age, may lead to the deterioration of ventilation, with hypoxic sequelae. Enhanced research and awareness concerning the lung health drive better treatments and quality of life. Clinical insights presented in the book underscore a major role played by the science in transmuting biomedical knowledge into a better patient management. The volume is addressed to clinicians, researchers, physiotherapists, and other healthcare professionals engaged in effective patient care and therapy.


REI Adventures, the active travel company part of national outdoor co-op REI, is launching 20 trips, bringing the total for the year to more than 40 new itineraries in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America and North America. The industry leader is also formally introducing a collection of lower intensity trips to meet the diverse interests and abilities of its broadening traveler base.
REI Adventures' new lower intensity collection is designated as level two on the company's activity scale. Consistent with all REI trips, travelers will be active daily but at a more relaxed pace and with less intensity. A sample day includes hiking two to six miles with minimal elevation gain and/or loss. Physical activities will be interspersed with local experiences to highlight a region's cultural and natural history, and unique interactions with communities made possible by local expert guides. During REI Adventures' most strenuous trips (level five), guests can hike more than 10 miles a day and carry backpacks weighing up to 45 pounds with constant and dramatic elevation gain and/or loss.
Nine level two trips are now available in Italy, Japan, Myanmar, Peru, Thailand and the United States. For example, Japan Hiking – Kumano Kodo & Nakasendo is an 11-day trek across ancient trade and pilgrimage routes from the country's imperial capital to modern Tokyo. Adventurers traverse through awe-inspiring bamboo groves and temples, visit the Hongu Grand Shrine UNESCO World Heritage site, and dine on local cuisines. So many highlights are woven into the journey, including the hospitality of local communities and learning about the art of sake and miso production. Accommodations include hotels and traditional guesthouses tucked into quaint communities. The unique combination of these classic routes is a first for the active travel industry.
Mt. Kilimanjaro Climb – Rongai Route: REI has helped adventure seekers summit Africa's highest mountain since the travel company's founding. Complementing the popularity of its other two itineraries, Rongai is the less-traveled path on Kilimanjaro's northern side. Members hike through wide climate zones as elevation increases – from lush forests with sightings of colobus monkeys to sparsely vegetated alpine desert to the volcanic landscape. The itinerary features REI Signature Camping with deluxe accommodations such as spacious tents, elevated cots, thick sleeping pads, and touches of home for a restful sleep. At the heart of the trip is the expertise of a local guide and porter team who encourage and support each traveler to achieve their personal accomplishment.
Other new Africa itineraries include a nine-day Tanzania Family Adventure and Safari and a 13-day Tanzania Ultimate Adventure and Safari.
France Hiking – Provence: Over nine days, explore picturesque landscapes of vineyards and olive groves, oak forests, mountain passes and hilltop towns that were celebrated by Cézanne, Picasso and Matisse. The journey begins with Avignon's Papal Palace, a jewel of medieval architecture, and includes visits to the still-working 12th-century Senanque Abbey in Gordes, the Luberon region that has grown lavender for 2,000 years, Aix-en-Provence's tree-lined and lively promenade, and more. Throughout the trip, travelers dine on Provencal farm-to-table cuisine.
REI Adventures also increased its Italian collection to 14 trips. New itineraries include Italy and France – Piedmont to the French Riviera where hikers traverse vineyards and country trails, forage for truffles, learn about prehistoric carvings in Mercantour National Park and reward themselves with a soak in cool waters. On REI's Italy Hiking – Amalfi Coast & Capri trip, explore the country's southern Mediterranean by hiking the Path of the Gods, visiting a medieval castle on the Isle of Ischia, kayaking the dramatic coastline, and learning the art of Neapolitan cuisine.
As the largest operator in the U.S. National Parks, REI Adventures launched hiking and backpacking trips in the country's national treasures, including Texas Hiking – Big Bend National Park and Beyondwhere members hike seven days from the Chisos Mountains to the Chihuahuan Desert and through the region's culturally significant border towns of Marathon, Alpine and Terlingua. On REI's Yosemite Winter Adventure, travelers have a magical experience as they snowshoe and hike during the park's lightest visitation period.
Through the end of the year, REI Adventures will continue its robust expansion with a Botswana Adventure Safari, multisport exploration through Croatia's islands and more than 10 itineraries in the United States. For example, hiking and multisport adventures will launch in Alaska, while backpacking, hiking and family trips will soon be available in epic Pacific Northwest destinations. For those wishing to travel in warmer climates, backpack Arizona's Aravaipa Canyon or explore the Sonoran Desert by bike.

As one of many volunteers working on the 2010 MassCUE / M.A.S.S. conference (October 27 & 28), I have been active with the conference committee in organizing breakout sessions. This means reading proposals, recruiting presenters, and helping to make sure we have sessions that cover all the strands and that will appeal to all our audiences. The title for the conference this year is Today's Global Learners—Tomorrow's Global Leaders and the breakout session descriptions are really living up to the theme. In anticipation of registration for the conference opening very soon, I will post several breakout session descriptions over the next few days.
The session below, Themes for 21st Century Education, is a panel session, and the moderator and panelists are Massachusetts School Superintendents, members of M.A.S.S. If you are an educator in Massachusetts or New England, quality breakout sessions like this one should provide the impetus for you to come to Gillette Stadium in October for the conference. If you are further away, maybe this description will inspire you to convene something similar for your state conference.
Where is public education headed? We know that technology has exploded the possibilities for teaching and learning. We also know that our students must be prepared for life and work in a global context. And we know that certain competencies will be required in the workforce of the future. So what is the debate about 21st Century Skills all about? Is it about curriculum? Is it, as some say, about lowering the high content standards that have put Massachusetts first in the nation in student achievement? Finally, how does technology power the acquisition and application of skills, and support efforts to globalize the existing curriculum?
A panel of superintendents will discuss their work to deepen their understanding of the trends in technology, global education, and workforce skills as they relate to the mission of schools and districts in the years ahead. The panelists will share their learning, reflect upon the tension between skills and content, and provide examples of what exemplary schools are doing to prepare students for life and work in the global village.

Koalas protest at Joyce's office over coal mine
A group of people, including some human koalas, are this morning visiting Barnaby Joyce's office in Tamworth to protest the Shenhua Watermark coal mine which they say will result in the death of koalas, and removal of important habitat for them.
Gunnedah is known as the "Koala capital of the world" and the Pilliga and Gunnedah populations are key populations west of the Great Divide.
The company behind the mine has proposed that the koalas will be "encouraged to naturally move away from habitat that is being cleared" but that they will be forcibly translocated if they do not move. The Australian Koala Foundation has cited evidence from previous translocation projects where many koalas died, including one project where 80-100% of the translocated koalas died.
Ecologist David Paull is among the protesters and said, "We are talking about a national icon, here. All coal mines are much the same, but the koala is unique to Australia and uniquely part of the Liverpool Plains.
"There is no defendable plan yet devised for the translocation of the koalas for this project. Shenhua claim that they can compensate the removal of Koala habitat by establishing food tree plantings. These will not be ready for Koalas for at least ten years. What are the Koalas to do in that time?
Tamworth-based ecologist, Phil Spark, is also at the protest and said, "This poor animal has now been listed nationally as a vulnerable species. That should send shock waves around the country. It is frankly astounding that the New South Wales Government thinks one coal mine is more important than this nation's most iconic wildlife species."
Last week, Mr Joyce's office was the site for protest by Liverpool Plains farmers asking him to ensure that the mine did not get Federal approval, and further protest by Gomeroi Traditional Owners and supporters took place in Gunnedah at the office of the company Shenhua over the cultural heritage impact of the mine.
Mr Spark said, "Barnaby Joyce is our member of parliament. We need him to stand up for this region. A decision by Federal Environment Minster Greg Hunt is now just two weeks away, so the clock is ticking for the koalas of the Liverpool Plains."

Ecosystem overviews
Icelandic Waters key signals
Ecosystem and environmental trends
The variable location of the fronts between the colder and fresher waters of Arctic origin and the warmer and more saline waters of Atlantic origin result in variable local conditions, especially on the northern part of the shelf. During the last two decades, the Atlantic water mass has been dominating, in contrast to the Arctic domination in the previous three decades.
Zooplankton biomass on the northern shelf has fluctuated in the past, cycling on a five- to ten-year periodicity, with a period of generally low biomass from the 1960s to the 1990s.
From the mid-2000s, Atlantic mackerel Scomber scombrus extended its feeding grounds from the Norwegian Sea to the Icelandic Waters ecoregion, while the summer feeding grounds of capelin Mallotus villosus moved westwards from the Icelandic Waters into Greenland waters. Norwegian spring-spawning herring Clupea harengus has, since the early 2000s, reappeared at its traditional feeding grounds east and north of Iceland. These major changes in migration patterns have been linked to prey availability, oceanographic conditions, and stock density.
Increased temperature in the lower water column on the western and northern part of the Icelandic shelf has resulted in changes in spatial distribution for a number of demersal species. Species like haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus, anglerfish Lophius piscatorius, ling Molva molva, tusk Brosme brosme, dab Limanda limanda, and witch Glyptocephalus cynoglossus that have previously had Icelandic waters as their northern boundary of distribution and have mainly been recorded in the warm waters south and west of Iceland, are now showing a northward clockwise trend in their distribution along the shelf, and in some cases a distributional shift. Warming waters have led to a decline in the stock abundance and distribution of many cold-water species, while the previously rare occurrence of warm-water species in the ecoregion has increased in recent years.
Stocks of northern shrimp Pandalus borealis collapsed around the year 2000 and the driving factors are thought to be increased predation by gadoids, increasing temperature, and high fishing mortality.
Improved management measures for most of the major stocks (cod Gadus morhua, haddock, saithe Pollachius virens, redfish Sebastes sp., herring) have resulted in decreased fishing mortality, close to or at FMSY, and increased SSBs. This has furthermore resulted in decrease in effort and less pressure on the benthic habitats.
A recruitment failure of sandeel (Ammodytidae) was recorded in 2005 and 2006, and, with the exception of the 2007 cohort, recruitment has been at a low level since then. Fish stomach content data suggest that the decline in the sandeel population may even have started as early as around year 2000.
The abundance of minke whales Balaenoptera acutorostrata has decreased on the Icelandic shelf in recent years, following changes in prey distribution. Abundance of other species, in particular fin whales Balaenoptera physalus and humpback whales Megaptera novaeangliae, have increased over the last 20 to 30 years.
In recent decades, the breeding success of many seabird species has been poor in south and west Iceland, accompanied by declines in their breeding population sizes. These trends may be influenced by changes in density, composition, and spatial distribution of their main fish prey (i.e. sandeel).

Cole Set To Grab 100th Cap For England
By Shah Nawaz -
Ashely Cole is set to become latest England player to reach the century of appearances for National Team if he is selected for the three lions to face Brazil on Wednesday Night. The 32 year old who plays his trade at Chelsea made his debut 12 years ago in 2001 under Sven Goran Eriksson.
Captain, Steven Gerrard who himself reached the milestone of 100 appearances for England in November 2012 against Sweden has called the English supporters to show tremendous backing to Cole who has been carrying out impressive performances for England for over a decade.
There have been times when Cole and his team mates have heavily faced criticism due to poor showings in the big competitions like World Cup and European cups. The lowest point in the left back's England career was when he softly missed the penalty against Italy in the Quarter Finals of Euro 2012 but even that has not stopped the diminutive wing back to continue his career in the white shirt.
Injury list has mounted up for manager, Roy Hodgson with Daniel Sturridge, Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick all withdrawing from the squad to face Brazil at Wembley. Captain, Gerrard is already looking to the match but hinted that their eyes are already fixed on the crucial world cup qualifier against Montenegro next month.

Michael Bloomberg OK on gun-industry money in NYC teachers' pension fund
By Kristen A. Lee

The massive city teachers pension fund responded to the horrors of the Newtown massacre by dumping all its stock in guns and ammo makers — but Mayor Bloomberg surprisingly opposed the move.
Bloomberg is one of the nation's most outspoken critics of the gun industry. As the founder of Mayors Against Illegal Guns, he's become a fixture on national news shows and a leading campaigner for sweeping gun control measures that he says will make everyone safer.
But when the Teachers Retirement System board voted to pull $13.5 million in investments it made in companies like Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co., Bloomberg's rep on the pension board cast the lone "no" vote.
Raymond Sarola, Bloomberg's emissary to the board, said the mayor doesn't believe in mixing politics and finance.

"Pension decisions should rarely, if ever, be based on other criteria except what's best for pensioners, which should benefit taxpayers as well," Sarola said in a statement Friday.
City Controller John Liu and teachers union president Michael Mulgrew control the other four reps on the pension board and both blasted the mayor for his no vote.
"This is just being two-faced," Liu said. "For Mayor Bloomberg to pound his fist on national talk shows against guns, and then to insist on supporting the business model of gun manufacturers."

The $46.6 billion teachers pension fund is the largest major pension fund to pull its gun investments since Newtown, though other large funds have started the process.
Mulgrew said educators had to make sure guns were not part of their holdings.
"I don't understand how the mayor, who wants to be characterized as a national leader on gun control, has allowed his people to vote against divesting from gun manufacturers," Mulgrew said. "It doesn't make sense."

Laid to rest in the Kremlin: Why was U.S. hack John Reed buried in Moscow?
"Here is a book which I should like to see published in millions of copies and translated into all languages" - V. Lenin about John Reed's book.
How did the son of a wealthy American entrepreneur and Harvard graduate become an ardent supporter of the proletarian revolution in Russia?
The life of American journalist John Reed (1887 - 1920) was so extraordinary that he inspired film directors on both sides of the Atlantic during the Cold War.
Warren Beatty's 1981 movie about Reed - Reds - won three Oscars. In the USSR, director Sergey Bondarchuk made a two part epic, Red Bells (1982), that was also based on Reed's life.
So why has the late hack's life fueled so much interest?
Reed was raised in an upper-class environment in the Pacific Northwest during the turn of the 20th century. He graduated from Harvard and showed interest in social issues, attending socialist club meetings. Three years after completing his studies he landed a job with the New York-based leftist magazine The Masses, which published articles by prominent radicals of the time.
As a determined champion of social justice, Reed covered strikes by silk mill workers in New Jersey and coal miners in Colorado. He was then sent to report on the Mexican revolution (1910 - 1920). He was appalled by the exploitation of laborers and Washington's policy towards Mexico. "The United States Government is really headed toward the policy of 'civilizing 'em with a Krag' [a rifle used by American troops] - a process which consists in forcing upon alien races with alien temperaments our own Grand Democratic Institutions: I refer to Trust Government, Unemployment, and Wage Slavery," Reed wrote.
His series on Mexico, later published as a book titled Insurgent Mexico, enforced Reed's reputation as a war correspondent. When World War I broke out in Europe Reed traveled to the Continent on two occasions, resulting in his second book - The War in Eastern Europe.
However, his most famous work - Ten Days That Shook The World - was not about war, but rebellion. It was published in 1919 and described the events of the Russian revolution. Reed visited Russia in August 1917 and witnessed how the Bolsheviks seized power. He welcomed the uprising and was an enthusiastic supporter of the new socialist regime. "So, with the crash of artillery, in the dark, with hatred, and fear, and reckless daring, new Russia was being born," he wrote.
He met the two main leaders of the Bolshevik uprising in person, Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky, and was a big fan of the Bolshevik party. "Instead of being a destructive force, it seems to me that the Bolsheviki were the only party in Russia with a constructive program and the power to impose it on the country," Reed wrote in Ten Days That Shook The World.
It's little wonder the book was well received by Lenin. "Here is a book which I should like to see published in millions of copies and translated into all languages. It gives a truthful and most vivid exposition of the events so significant to the comprehension of what really is the Proletarian Revolution and the Dictatorship of the Proletariat," the Bolshevik leader wrote in the introduction of the 1922 edition.
The book was also widely praised by the public - even American diplomat George F. Kennan, who had no sympathy towards the Soviets - gave it a positive review: "Reed's account of the events of that time rises above every other contemporary record for its literary power, its penetration, its command of detail."
Reed died in 1920 in Moscow after contracting spotted typhus at the tender age of 32. He was given a state funeral and buried at the Kremlin Wall Necropolis. Remembered for both his brilliant writing and political activism, Reed was also instrumental in establishing the Communist Labor Party of America and took part in the Comintern congress in Moscow shortly before his death, an event advocating world communism. It's no wonder he's inspired film directors and writers - and he'll forever be praised as a bastion of social justice and journalistic integrity. He truly was a man of the people.

The two gems the industry lost in 2021, Auto News, ET Auto
Chanchal Pal Chauhan (June 8, 1975 – April 22, 2021) at a media drive in Goa February 2021The very first time I noticed him was at a buffet after a press convention in one of many 7-star resorts in Central Delhi. Wearing an off-the-cuff T-shirt and denims, not a hair on his head, Chanchal Pal Chauhan was busy tackling a chunk of mutton. I'm not a lot of a foodie myself however I discovered that amusing. Once I recall that second now, I recognise there was a childlike innocence in it. The subsequent time, Chanchal–CPC to some, Chanchal San to most, and easily Maalik to me, was going full tilt in a small automotive that wasn't meant for racing. That was a standard note–all automotive journalists go a tad psychological behind a steering wheel. I knew then, there was no different method we would not be pals. Possibilities had been very excessive we might develop into one of the best of pals however that's extra all the way down to his energy of character and generosity than anything. All of 46, Covid snatched Chanchal from us in April, on the peak of the second wave. It left us numb and shattered part of me–forever. Six months have passed by and but it feels too uncooked. The thoughts has not been capable of course of his departure. Perhaps it will not ever. A stop-start yr that this has been, automotive events–press conferences, interviews, conferences and launches–have not been as frequent. In a method that has been a blessing as a result of each time an occasion has occurred, Chanchal's identify at all times got here up. Fellow journalists would attain out to your's actually and Pankaj Doval from Occasions of India to inform us how badly he's missed. Or how a lot poorer the industry is now. No one is aware of this as a lot as we at ETAuto the place Malik gave the final two of a glittering 20-year profession. As an expert, he performed arduous however honest. There's not one firm that he wouldn't have given grief to in his profession. But all people counts him as a pal. I take advantage of the current tense right here intentionally. As journalists we meet some folks many occasions and many individuals just a few occasions. Chanchal at all times left an impression even on these whom he met just a few occasions. It's a uncommon high quality. The flexibility to mill round with folks of all types gave him an edge over the others. Living proof was the story he broke on how union leaders of Maruti Suzuki's manufacturing unit in Manesar quietly retreated to the shadows after accepting beneficiant pay outs. It was a results of his robust join with the employees. By that point, we had all spent days exterior the manufacturing unit constructing sources throughout the workforce however Chanchal had managed to forge the strongest of bonds. With expertise, he developed the flexibility to foresee what's in retailer within the future–another vital high quality in a journalist. At ETAuto, one in every of his most profitable tales was when he predicted that Harley Davidson would quickly wind up in India. He had again then additionally hinted that Ford would comply with the identical route. It got here true too, barely 5 months after his demise.The final time I noticed Chanchal, it was in Goa in February 2021. We had been collectively for yet another of the various media take a look at drives now we have shared over time. Anyone who knew him personally, would know he was a person who lived life to the fullest–cliche as it could sound. He had an enviable urge for food for all good issues in life and cherished an excellent occasion. That night he was on hearth. Nearly as if he knew one way or the other that the occasion was quickly coming to an finish.Maruti ManThis yr the trade additionally misplaced one of many best executives now we have ever seen or shall ever see–Jagdish Khattar. Barely 72 hours after Chanchal in April, Khattar san succumbed to a cardiac arrest. Shock shouldn't be a phrase one would typically use for the demise of a septuagenarian however it's nonetheless apt in his case. In his 78 yr outdated physique, he nonetheless had the mind as sharp as that of a 40 yr outdated.
Jagdish Khattar (December 18, 1942 – April 26, 2021), Indian businessman & civil servant. He was the previous managing director of Maruti Udyog Restricted from 1999 to 2007
An arts graduate from the distinguished St Stephen's Faculty in Delhi, Khattar san went on to amass a level in regulation and joined the IAS. Within the authorities he excelled at no matter he did rising by way of the ranks to develop into a joint secretary within the ministry of metal however his crowning glory was within the non-public sector. Beneath his stewardship, India's largest carmaker Maruti Suzuki made the sleek transition from a PSU to a non-public agency as the federal government bowed out in 2007.With its first mover benefit that dates again to the early Eighties, Maruti at all times had a bonus over the others. However to retain its vice-like maintain in a market that has attracted one of the best within the enterprise the world over wasnt a straightforward job. It didn't assist that quickly after he took over the nook workplace at what was then referred to as Maruti Udyog Ltd, the corporate confronted a debilitating 90 day staff' strike on the Gurgaon manufacturing unit. They had been demanding greater wages.At a time when multinational corporations had been coming into India in droves, this is able to have raised prices and made the corporate much more inefficient. With the help from Suzuki, which was then a minority shareholder, Khattar dug his heels in and handled the employees with an iron hand. It was a pivotal time for the corporate the place the connection of its two essential shareholders –Suzuki in Japan and authorities of India, had soured. Khattar san not solely rebuilt the corporate in order that it may well maintain its personal in opposition to the challengers, he additionally helped bridge the belief deficit between the federal government and Suzuki."The 2001 strike was one of many hardest durations that I got here throughout in Maruti Suzuki. It was really the turning level," he reminisced in 2007 when he was leaving the agency. "If we had given in, we might not be the place we're at present. Salaries would have gone up and we'd have develop into inefficient. Our competitiveness available in the market would have been blunted."The strike impacted the corporate's place available in the market as its share fell from a commanding 79 per cent in January 1999 to simply 51 per cent a yr later and a brand new low of 42 per cent in June 2000. Khattar nursed the corporate again to well being earlier than hitting again on the competitors with a flurry of launches that included Wagon R, Alto 800, the unique Baleno sedan and Altura station wagon as additionally a revamped M800, which was at the moment one of the best promoting automotive within the nation. By June 2001, Maruti had clawed again to 60 per cent share.Within the course of Khattar san earned himself the moniker of being the Lee Iacocca of motown in India. The fortress that Maruti is at present has so much to do with Khattar san's enterprise acumen. After his retirement from Maruti in 2008, he gave in to his entrepreneurial zeal to launch Carnation–an modern multi model service community for vehicles. The concept was simple–he knew the inefficiencies of the normal automotive retail community and needed to disrupt it with extra inexpensive and high quality service for patrons. Sadly, it didn't take off and Khattar san spent the previous couple of years of his life warding off lenders. However he had not given in and that razor sharp mind was nonetheless churning out new concepts. These eyes had been nonetheless stuffed with goals. A few of them would certainly have taken off within the new enterprise capital funded financial system. If solely that coronary heart had cooperated a bit extra. Wherever they're, Maalik and Khattar san should nonetheless be having a tug of warfare up there. Chanchal nibbling away together with his questions, ready for Khattar-san to let his guard down.

Port Hotplug Framework
======================

The Port Hotplug Framework provides DPDK applications with the ability to
attach and detach ports at runtime. Because the framework depends on PMD
implementation, the ports that PMDs cannot handle are out of scope of this
framework. Furthermore, after detaching a port from a DPDK application, the
framework doesn't provide a way for removing the devices from the system.
For the ports backed by a physical NIC, the kernel will need to support PCI
Hotplug feature.

Overview
--------

The basic requirements of the Port Hotplug Framework are:

*       DPDK applications that use the Port Hotplug Framework must manage their
        own ports.

        The Port Hotplug Framework is implemented to allow DPDK applications to
        manage ports. For example, when DPDK applications call the port attach
        function, the attached port number is returned. DPDK applications can
        also detach the port by port number.

*       Kernel support is needed for attaching or detaching physical device
        ports.

        To attach new physical device ports, the device will be recognized by
        userspace driver I/O framework in kernel at first. Then DPDK
        applications can call the Port Hotplug functions to attach the ports.
        For detaching, steps are vice versa.

*       Before detaching, they must be stopped and closed.

        DPDK applications must call "rte_eth_dev_stop()" and
        "rte_eth_dev_close()" APIs before detaching ports. These functions will
        start finalization sequence of the PMDs.

*       The framework doesn't affect legacy DPDK applications behavior.

        If the Port Hotplug functions aren't called, all legacy DPDK apps can
        still work without modifications.

Port Hotplug API overview
-------------------------

*       Attaching a port

        "rte_eth_dev_attach()" API attaches a port to DPDK application, and
        returns the attached port number. Before calling the API, the device
        should be recognized by an userspace driver I/O framework. The API
        receives a pci address like "0000:01:00.0" or a virtual device name
        like "net_pcap0,iface=eth0". In the case of virtual device name, the
        format is the same as the general "--vdev" option of DPDK.

*       Detaching a port

        "rte_eth_dev_detach()" API detaches a port from DPDK application, and
        returns a pci address of the detached device or a virtual device name
        of the device.

Reference
---------

        "testpmd" supports the Port Hotplug Framework.

Limitations
-----------

*       The Port Hotplug APIs are not thread safe.

*       The framework can only be enabled with Linux. BSD is not supported.

*       To detach a port, the port should be backed by a device that igb_uio
        or VFIO manages.

*       Not all PMDs support detaching feature.
        To know whether a PMD can support detaching, search for the
        "RTE_ETH_DEV_DETACHABLE" flag in rte_eth_dev::data::dev_flags. If the flag is
        defined in the PMD, detaching is supported.

Oh the wonders and artistic craft of Couture! Did you know that a designer can only be considered a true couturier if they are accredited as such by the state of France? That is correct! I learned this many years ago when researching different Parisian fashion houses which made me appreciate the concept of couture more. It is an art form that is extremely detailed, delicate and 100% handmade to perfection no matter how you measure it. This is why "Couture" is so special, rare, and has that hefty price tag we all see dangling from the garment in stores. In addition, there are usually only a small number of each couture garment made by each designer, many being one of a kind.
I hope you enjoy the below images as much as I love sharing them with you!
I look forward to showing all of you my time at Paris Fashion Week!
