Topless In New Hampshire: Crime Or Gender Discrimination?
By Legal Profession Prof
The New Hampshire Supreme Court has affirmed three public nudity ordinance violations.
Defendant Pierro
The following facts are drawn from the trial court's order on the defendants' motion to dismiss or are otherwise supported by the record. On May 28, 2016, Pierro went to Endicott Park Beach in Laconia. At the hearing on the defendants' motion to dismiss, Pierro testified that she "was topless" and was there "to enjoy the beach." She agreed with defense counsel that she was "performing yoga on the beach." She stated that she "was violently harassed" by "[s]everal citizens," but that "out of everybody on the beach, there were only actually a handful that were upset."
Sergeant Black of the Laconia Police Department testified that, on that same day, he and Officer Callanan responded to the beach because the department had "received several calls about a female . . . doing nude yoga." Callanan testified that they approached a woman, later identified as Pierro, who was "not wearing any shirt and her breasts, as well as her nipples, were both exposed." Callanan stated that she "made attempts to speak to" Pierro, but that Pierro "continued to do her yoga poses." She explained that "after
about a minute or so, [Pierro] looked up and acknowledged that we were, in fact, trying to speak to her." She testified that they "explained to [Pierro] that the reason [they] were making contact with her was in reference to a Laconia City Ordinance, since her nipples were exposed on the beach in a public place." Callanan stated that they asked Pierro "multiple times to cover up, to put her bathing suit top back on, or put her shirt back on," but that Pierro "refused.
Defendants Sinclair and Libbey
In 2015, Sinclair became involved in the "Free the Nipple" movement. Sinclair testified that she was one of the people who "started" the movement in New Hampshire after having her son and realizing "that there was a very big stigma on breastfeeding." She explained that she believed that breasts, specifically nipples, are "hypersexualize[d]" and "consider[ed] pornographic and taboo," which she stated results "in that stigma" and "contributes to the low breastfeeding rates that the United States has compared to the rest of the world." Sinclair told Lilley about the movement, which Lilley then joined. Lilley testified that she is "a feminist" and joined the movement because she "believe[s] in the equality of the male and female."
On May 31, 2016, Sinclair and Lilley went topless to Weirs Beach in Laconia. While at the beach, they were arrested for violating the ordinance. Sinclair testified that she "purposely engaged in civil disobedience knowing that the City of Laconia has an ordinance against the exposure of the female nipple and areola." She stated that she was "protesting [Pierro's] case where she had been arrested a few days prior." Lilley testified that she was also protesting Pierro's arrest and that she "announced to the arresting police officer that [she] was acting in a protest and that [she] did not believe that [she] could be arrested for protesting." She further agreed with the prosecutor that, on that day, she "chose to take it upon [herself] to violate the ordinance to give attention to [her] cause."
The court majority rejected both Constitutional and state claims raised by the defendants.
LYNN, C.J., and DONOVAN, J., concurred; BASSETT, J., with whom HICKS, J., joined, concurred in part and dissented in part.
We agree with our colleagues in most respects: Laconia's ordinance does not violate the defendants' rights to freedom of speech and expression; it falls within the regulatory authority of the City of Laconia; it is not preempted by statute; and it does not violate RSA chapter 354-A. However, we part company with the majority when it rejects the defendants' equal protection claim. We strongly disagree that rational basis is the lens through which the defendants' equal protection challenge should be analyzed. Laconia's ordinance facially classifies on the basis of gender: if a woman and a man wear the exact same clothing on the beach, on Laconia's main street, or in a backyard "visible to the public," the woman is engaging in unlawful behavior— but the man is not...
We agree with the reasoning of the Seventh Circuit. Public nudity ordinances such as the ordinances in Chicago and Laconia — i.e., those that use explicit, gendered language to make it unlawful for a female to engage in certain behavior, while the same behavior is lawful for a male — clearly classify by gender. The majority asserts that such reasoning is "flawed" and "deceptively simple." We fail to see the flaw or deception in our simple reasoning: when a law uses the word "female" to classify between those who
can violate the ordinance — females — and those who cannot — males — it contains a gender-based classification. We freely acknowledge that the question of whether basic physiological differences between the sexes justify disparate treatment of men and women is a more nuanced and complicated question. But classification and justification present different questions.
Respectfully, we find the reasoning of the majority — which obscures the simple threshold question — needlessly convoluted and artificially complex. Indeed, a court upends the safeguards of equal protection if it reasons that, because a law is premised upon physiological or anatomical differences between the sexes, the law does not classify by gender and therefore it need not be analyzed under strict scrutiny. For example, because women have a longer life expectancy than men, by the majority's reasoning, a hypothetical law that mandates that women work four years longer than men in order to qualify for a pension, or prevents women from retiring until age 70 as opposed to age 66 for men, or reduces a woman's social security benefits if she retires at the same age as a man, does not classify on the basis of gender. Such a law would be constitutional so long as it was "rationally related to a legitimate government interest." Boulders, 153 N.H. at 641. Analyzing whether a law comports with equal protection does not require that the court be blind to basic physiological or anatomical differences. In some cases, applying the constitutionally required level of scrutiny, this court might conclude that such differences justify disparate treatment under the law. However, a court subverts the basic guarantee of equal protection if it concludes that, because men and women have physiological or anatomical differences, a law that classifies on the basis of those differences does not trigger strict scrutiny.
A court would no longer say, as a Supreme Court Justice did over 100 years ago, that a woman did not have a right to practice law because "the civil law, as well as nature herself, has always recognized a wide difference in the respective spheres and destinies of man and woman. . . . This is the law of the Creator. . . . [T]he rules of civil society must be adapted to the general constitution of things . . . ." Bradwell v. The State, 83 U.S. 130, 141-42 (1872) (Bradley, J., concurring). We revisit that bygone era, and thwart the very protections the Equal Rights Amendment was enacted to provide, if we allow stereotypical notions about women's bodies to alter our analysis of the straightforward question of whether Laconia's ordinance classifies on the basis of gender. This is precisely why the New Hampshire Constitution requires that legislation which discriminates on the basis of a suspect classification be subject to strict scrutiny.
The law has often been used to perpetuate discrimination based on "public sensibilities" or "common understandings" about individuals on the basis of immutable characteristics — however misinformed or ill-motivated those understandings might be. "One of the most important purposes to be served by the Equal Protection Clause is to ensure that 'public sensibilities' grounded in prejudice and unexamined stereotypes do not become enshrined as part of the official policy of government."
The ordinance does not withstand strict scrutiny
applying the strict scrutiny standard required by Part I, Article 2, we conclude that the State has not carried its burden to prove that its asserted interests are compelling and that Laconia's ordinance is necessary and narrowly tailored.
...over four decades, we have fashioned an analytical framework which subjects laws that distinguish on the basis of gender to the highest level of constitutional scrutiny: strict scrutiny. See Holbrook, 140 N.H. at 189; Sandra H., 150 N.H. at 637; LeClair, 137 N.H. at 222. However, perhaps mindful of the State's obvious failure to present evidence sufficient to meet the exacting burden of strict scrutiny in this case, the majority strains to conclude that an ordinance that prohibits women — but not men — from engaging in certain behavior does not discriminate on the basis of sex, but is, in fact, gender-neutral. Such an approach is not in service of our constitutional role: it is an abdication of it.

Blue Murder: Killer Cop
First trailer for Channel7's "Blue Murder: Killer Cop"
Roger Rogerson. From number one COP to number one MURDERER.
New Blue Murder: Killer Cop, coming to @Channel7 pic.twitter.com/AxJXhjzwcF
— Channel Seven Perth (@SevenPerth) July 12, 2017
Channel 7 has released a first teaser for their upcoming miniseries "Blue Murder: Killer Cop". "I kow more about criminals and how to catch them than any 10 other blokes in the country. Makes you wonder how I got here?" Richard Roxburgh, as crooked cop Roger Rogerson, asks this of the audience, in the first trailer released by Seven of its hotly-anticipated telemovie, Blue Murder: Killer Cop. It's a bloody good question and has all the makings of the must watch true crime drama of the year — an unexpected but utterly compelling sequel to the original miniseries, which introduced the talents of Roxburgh to local audiences and will remind a new generation of the shocking past of one of Australia's dodgiest detectives. Rogerson's 2016 conviction on murder and commercial drug supply charges provided a stunning twist to this infamous crime tale, which finally brought down the former NSW detective after the 75-year-old and his accomplice, Glenn McNamara, 57, were found guilty of the murder of Jamie Gao during a drug deal gone wrong. After the duo's arrest, producers of the first Blue Murder series immediately got to work on a sequel, which now looks to be fast-tracked to air by Channel 7 and co-stars Toni Collette, Love Child's Andy Ryan and Hyde and Seek star, Matt Nable.

TransScale
==========

Provides transparent scalability for using multiple GPUs with JCuda.
TransScale facilitates agile CUDA development in Java using JCuda. With TransScale, it is now
easy to load modules on single or multiple CUDA-enabled GPUs and harness their processing power.

TransScale also provides wrappers for 2D CUDA primitive arrays of structs with arbitrary number
of fields (such as a 2D array of char's representing an array of colors in ARGB space). These
2D allocations can be automatically pitched if possible and the pitch values are converted to a
number that can be treated as a regular "width" similar to any 2D allocated array. The wrapped
pointers are extensions of CUdeviceptr which allows transparent manipulation using JCuda.

Note that the project is still very immature and more features and samples may be added in the future.
The sample package of the source code contains the example of a vector addition solution using CUDA.

## Acknowledgement
I would like to thank Marco Hutter for creating JCuda and his support. JCuda's homepage is located [here](http://www.jcuda.org)

Supreme Court Rejects Death Row's James Dailey's Appeal in Murder of 14-Year-Old Girl
November 2, 2020 | FlaglerLive | 10 Comments
James Dailey.
Nov. 2 Update:The U.S. Supreme Court today rejected an appeal from James Dailey, a death row inmate who argues that he was convicted on the faulty testimony of a jailhouse informant. The court declined to hear an appeal from an 11th Circuit Court of Appeals decision in February that ruled against Dailey.
According to Bloomberg Law, "Dailey's appeal was supported by Catholic Bishops, former and current law enforcement officials, and a conservative anti-death penalty group. A 2019 ProPublica investigation looked at the informant whose testimony led to Dailey's conviction and death sentence. Opposing high court review, Florida officials said the co-defendant went back on the confession and that Dailey's newly discovered evidence claims don't warrant consideration."
The case is Dailey v. Florida, U.S., No. 19-1094. The previous story is below.
Federal Court Rejects Death Row's James Dailey's Appeal in Murder of 14-Year-Old Girl
February 2, 2020–In a case that has drawn national attention, a federal appeals court Thursday rejected arguments that a Death Row inmate should be given another chance to show he is innocent in the 1985 murder of a 14-year-old girl in Pinellas County.
A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals disputed inmate James Dailey's contention that newly discovered evidence would clear him in the murder of Shelly Boggio, whose nude body was found with multiple stab wounds floating in water near Indian Rocks Beach.
Gov. Ron DeSantis in September signed a death warrant for Dailey, but a federal judge later issued a stay to give newly appointed attorneys more time to review and make filings in the case. The stay expired last month, though DeSantis has not rescheduled the execution.
The New York Times magazine in December ran a lengthy story delving into the case and the role of a jailhouse snitch, Paul Skalnik, in convicting Dailey, who contends another man, Jack Pearcy, was responsible for the murder.
But the federal appeals court said Dailey also argued in 2007 that he was entitled to a new trial because newly discovered evidence showed Pearcy had killed Boggio, a claim that was dismissed. The appeals court rejected Dailey's arguments Thursday, in part, because it said he did not meet a requirement for making a new claim.
"At bottom, Dailey is asserting the same thing he asserted in 2007: that he is and always has been innocent of murdering Shelly Boggio, so the Constitution requires that the judgment against him be set aside," said the 29-page ruling, written by Chief Judge Ed Carnes and joined by judges Charles Wilson and William Pryor." Any new evidence he is submitting is merely supportive of that same claim; it is not the basis of a new one. As a result, Dailey has not made a prima facie showing that his claim survives (the legal) new claim requirement."
The Atlanta-based court said Dailey also had not met a high standard of showing "actual innocence."
"Dailey's new evidence, at most, casts some degree of doubt on some of the testimony the state presented at trial. The credibility of one of the three jailhouse informants, Paul Skalnik, has been called into doubt. But we are not jurors deciding in the first instance whether the state has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt. We are a court of appeals deciding more than 30 years after a murder whether the inmate who was convicted of it, and whose conviction has been upheld at every turn for three decades, has shown a reasonable likelihood of meeting the 'extraordinarily high' burden of making a 'truly persuasive demonstration' that he is actually innocent," the ruling said, citing court precedents. "Dailey has not done that. He has not because even if we take Dailey's new evidence into account, and even if we erase entirely Skalnik's testimony, there remains substantial unrefuted evidence of Dailey's guilt."
Dailey, now 73, and Pearcy were convicted in the murder of Boggio, who had been hitchhiking before her death. Pearcy, now 64, was sentenced to life in prison, while Dailey was sentenced to death.
Dailey's supporters, including attorneys with the Innocence Project of Florida, have argued that Pearcy has confessed to the murder and cleared Dailey. But the Florida Supreme Court in November also rejected an appeal by Dailey.

#jackpearcy
Jack Pearcy wrote a letter to Stacy Boggio stateing James killed Shelly and he wished he had stopped him.
No clemency – he infliced horrible pain and suffering on a 14 year old girl then stabbed her. He has worked the system in every way –
SMDH says
@attila – You are sooooo right! Toast him!!! Hang him! Castrate him! CHILD KILLER!! I am beginning to wonder about "certain" people here in Palm Coast – based off of some of the comments I have read here in the past it appears that people here are not too fond of children. Or perhaps it is something far more sinister. Very shady people here… SMH!
Concerned Citizen says
Who was he to murder a 14 year old girl?
Yet again the sympathy syndrome for someone who not only made a poor choice. But took an innocent life.
Sign me up to help push the plunger. Dhould have been done long ago.
Andrea Boggio says
#justiceforshellyboggio
Agkistrodon says
Well, bye.
Sargon of Akkad says
Human life is precious and killing this man isn't going to bring back the 14 yr old. He probably is guilty, but only God, the victim, the killer and he really know. It has also been determined that some innocent people have been executed by the state. I support the idea of Blackstone's ratio.
We dont euthanize dogs that bite people to keep other dogs from biting people. This guy doesn't deserve to live.

Great Satan US threatens to oust Assad if US planes downed in Syrian airspace
The data was added on ,	16 September 2014 read 1.219 times.
Zionist President of Great Satan US has threatened to wipe out Syria's air defense system and topple the Syrian government if President Bashar al-Assad ordered his forces to shoot American planes entering Syrian airspace.
Obama made the remarks during a meeting in the White House before his speech about Washington's strategy about the ISIL terrorist group, The New York Times reported on Sunday.
Obama ordered the US military on Wednesday to expand its bombing campaign against ISIL terrorists and launch airstrikes in Syria.
"If he [Assad] dared to do that, Mr. Obama said he would order American forces to wipe out Syria's air defense system, which he noted would be easier than striking ISIS (or ISIL) because its locations are better known," the newspaper said.
"He went on to say that such an action by Mr. Assad would lead to his overthrow, according to one account," the Times said.
The US president also noted that ISIL made a major strategic error by killing American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff "because the anger it generated resulted in the American public's quickly backing military action."
During his televised speech on Wednesday, Obama said, "I will not hesitate to take action against ISIL in Syria, as well as Iraq."
"America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat," he said.
The Pentagon announced that the United States already has conducted more than 150 airstrikes against ISIL targets in Iraq.
Meanwhile, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem has warned the US and its allies against attacking ISIL targets on Syrian soil.
"Syria is ready to cooperate and coordinate with regional and international efforts to combat terror in accordance with UN resolutions and respect of Syrian sovereignty," he said in Damascus last month.
"Everyone is welcome, including Britain and the United States, to take action against ISIS and Nusra with a prior full coordination with the Syrian government," Moallem added.
On Sunday, US Secretary of State John Kerry said Washington will not coordinate its airstrikes on ISIL terrorists inside Syria.
"We're not going to coordinate it with Syria…. It's not a cooperative effort. We are going to do what they haven't done, what they had plenty of opportunity to do, which is to take on ISIL and to degrade it and eliminate as a threat," Kerry said.

Q: Crashlytics / Fabric distribution of Watch-enabled iOS-App? I sure am missing something obvious here - but no matter where I looked I found nothing to aid me here so I'll give it a try:
I'm developing an (obj-c) app in which I have integrated the Fabric / Crashlytics framework and which I distribute to my testers via the fabulous Fabric-Site. That worked flawless for many, many versions.
Now I have added AppleWatch-compatibility to my app via integration of WatchKit. All works fine.
But distribution via Fabric to my beta-testers just won't work any more; The distributions site just states "You're all set for now. As soon as a new Build is ready..." and under "Previous Versions" all version including the WatchKit are marked as "Not Available". Older versions are available to install though...
I suspect something wrong with the included provisioning profiles - but all are set up as they should - f.e. all devices registered in all profiles, separate profiles for the watch app and the extension - and the archives are created without errors or warnings. They even pass the AppStore validation. But no luck in getting those versions to my beta-testers...
Any hint would be much appreciated.

A: As at current date it continues to appear to be the case that WatchKit Apps and Extensions cannot be distribute by Fabric. The Fabric Documentation does not refer to WatchKit, WatchOS or Apple Watch at all, and the current only significant discussion of the question in the developer forums, from about five months ago, states it was not possible at that time.

The Feast and Fast of Traditional Advent
by Sophie Shorland
Many of us are currently opening little doors to reveal chocolate, gin or lipgloss, culminating on December 25th when the real orgy of present-opening will begin. In some households, dogs and cats have their own advent calendars, while rabbits can feast on no-mince pies to get them in the festive spirit. And this year in particular, advent windows are popping up all over the Christmas-celebrating parts of the world, with Christmassy scenes constructed from household objects. Historically speaking, however, we're celebrating advent all wrong. The point of this countdown to Christmas was originally to atone for sins during the year, not feast on tiny chocolates or thimble-sized beer samples.
The origins of advent – roughly the month before Christmas – are unclear, but the word first appeared in the English language in the 10th century. It meant 'approach of the gods' or 'coming', both referring to Jesus' coming into the world, and his 'second coming', when the dead would rise from their graves and await judgement. To get in the right frame of mind for these fiery torments, preachers would advise their congregations during Advent to contemplate the forthcoming 'Day of Terror' and the 'Misery of Devils', examining their consciences and calling themselves to account. Recommending close study of the Ten Commandments, one seventeenth century preacher exhorted readers to give up passion, prejudice and 'undue Affections', preparing themselves for the world to come.

While there were no calendars, in some parts of medieval England advent boxes were created: these were wooden boxes covered with glass or a napkin, whipped off to reveal finely-dressed dolls representing Jesus and the Virgin Mary. They were decorated with ribbons, flowers and sometimes fruit, before being carried around the neighbourhood, where people would pay a small fee to view the tableau inside the box. In some communities, it was unlucky not to see the box before Christmas Day. Some of the dolls may have had sophisticated moveable joints, and people could dress them as an extra act of reverence.

This period of fasting and penitence would begin well before December: traditionally (and to this day in the Orthodox tradition), advent began on the 11th November, after St Martin's Day. Rich, fatty geese were consumed to commemorate the saint's life, as he was said to have hidden in a pen full of geese to avoid being ordained as a bishop. However, the geese – presumably prompted by a divine inspiration – honked and revealed Martin's position, and he ended up becoming a bishop anyway. Just like Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) before lent, decadent butter was also used up on St Martin's Day, making for an extremely fatty feast! Traditions varied in different parts of Europe, but giving up meat, fat and ale, was often joined by abstinence from gambling, sex and – perhaps most surprisingly – getting married.
Citrussy fruit-filled stollen was invented as an advent dish, since bakers were not allowed to use butter during the period of fasting. Instead, they devised stollen: a hard cake made of flour, yeast, water, and an oil made from turnips. It's shaped to resemble Jesus in swaddling clothes. Unsurprisingly, protests were lodged at this near-inedible creation, and eventually the inhabitants of Saxony were granted permission to use butter, as long as they paid the Church for the privilege. Today, the stollen we know and love seems like a reaction to this period of austerity: a huge dollop of butter is mixed into the dough, then after baking an entire stick is brushed all over it, followed by a slathering of sugar.

The fast of Advent lasted until Christmas, when twelve decadent days of feasting, singing and general carousing would begin, culminating in Twelfth Night or epiphany, where 'king cakes' are still baked in some countries. Whoever finds the bean inside their slice of cake is king for a day, while whoever finds the pea is queen. Shakespeare's Twelfth Night riffs on the inversions that could happen in this time, as servants became masters, and jesters ruled the day. In the play, pompous servant Malvolio is tricked into believing that his mistress Olivia loves him, and prances around in yellow stockings, at the instigation of the servants and the household's jester, Feste. Eventually, the mistress of the house takes back control, and order is restored (Malvolio's dignity, on the other hand, is not). In Britain, wassailing still takes place on this date, singing and pouring cider over the apple trees to wake them up and make sure they produce for the year ahead.
Olivia's House – Olivia, Maria and Malvolio (Shakespeare, Twelfth Night, Act 3, Scene 4)
After the fasting of advent, people really felt like they'd earned the enormous portions of Christmas Day. However, all that penitence proved difficult to keep up so the date of Advent was adjusted to begin later, on the Sunday before the month of December. It still officially begins in the Anglican calendar on this day, so this year Advent began on the 29th November, not the 1st of December as is commonly celebrated by the consumption of tiny chocolates.
Which date do you use: the one on advent calendars, or the Church calendar?

It was announced by the Government earlier that small deposits made in the banks by artisans, workers, housewives, etc. would not be questioned by the Income Tax Department in view of the fact that present exemption limit for income tax is Rs. 2.5 lakh. There are some reports received that some people are using other persons' bank accounts to convert their black money into new denomination notes for which reward is also being given to the account holders who agree to allow their accounts to be used. This activity is reported in case of Jandhan Accounts also.

Two of the major local festivals each year are in Christchurch, and then in Highcliffe. The Christchurch Festival takes place in May, the Highcliffe Festival two or three weeks later. Here are some pictures, and a little information about the Christchurch Festival. A larger version of some pictures can be viewed by clicking it (2000 x 1500px, opens in a new window).
For the later Highcliffe Festival, click here.
The Festival in 2018 took place on the weekend of 12-13 May. The pictures below were taken in the morning. It does become very busy.
The quomps before it got REALLY busy. There was a lot more behind me, and the High Street was packed too.
Of course, there were sweets and treats too.
Sunshine in a glass – mead!
Here is a link to the Echo report, with a lot more pictures and information.
This takes place on the weekend of 2nd-3rd June. Obviously it is smaller than the Christchurch Festival, but it is a very popular event and the road, which is closed for the event, is busy yet comfortable. Note that most pictures are not linked to a larger version.
Setting up at 8.45am, but time to smile.
This was even hotter than Saturday. The header picture was taken before the Festival opened at 10am: it would have been impossible to see the stalls even half an hour later, when it was already really crowded.
The picture below was taken at lunchtime.
Outside the Methodist Hall. A chance to sit down for a cuppa.
Inside the Methodist Hall. Serving the cuppas!
The Methodist Church was open to look round, pray, or just sit quietly.
The stalls were really busy.
It wasn't just music and selling. you could learn something too!
A list of stalls – not exhaustive.
Finally, a couple of videos. Entertainment throughout both days.
To conclude, a fun video outside Tesco. Yes, it was all happening in Highcliffe!
Finally, a link to the Event website.


The new RT has just arrived in the showrooms of the dealers and Wunderlich, the specialist for BMW motorcycle accessory parts, already offers his version of the proven complete protection for the RT. Alreadyforthe previous model, the company from Sinzig had designed an useful boxer crash bar in combination with an effective tank protector as well as an innovative luggage protection bar, which has several functions.
The new version of the crash bar and the tank protection bar guarantees double protection for the valve cover and fairing, even when tipping over and at severe crashes. They underline perfectly the dynamic design of the RT. All maintenance work can be effected without removing the crash bar.
The perfectly suitable luggage protection bars are not only a life insurance for the expensive and sensitive BMW original luggage cases; they are also a perfect lifting handle and a relaxing holding capability for the passenger.
All mounting points of the crash and luggage protection bars are designed totrainand compressive loads and distribute evenly the occurring forces. Neither the ground nor the cornering clearance are impaired.
The protection bars are available in silver, chrome and black. In silver and black the crash bar costs 259,- Euros, the tank protection bar 229,- Euros and the luggage protection bar 239,- Euros. The chrome version costs respectively 20, - € more. All parts are "Made in Germany" and will be delivered inclusive a 5- year-warranty.
Further information is available from the website www.wunderlich.de or via telephone at +49 (0)2642-9798-0.


When skillfully crafted, the simultaneous use of moving and still images, on-screen text, narration, and music inspires potential buyers and sellers to contact you.
We produce Animated Videos in our studio for Real Estate Agents and Agencies located anywhere in the United States.

Happy Easter wherever you are!
Easter is all about joy and fun and happy times.
Easter is about the joy of spring, that warm sunshine that creeps through your window, gently touching your skin in the morning. The fun of egg hunting, or cracking all the eggs to see who has picked the egg with the strongest shell. The happy times spent with your friends, your family and your loved ones.
I was raised as an Orthodox, so I was used to celebrate Easter after the Julian calendar. In Romania we would dye Easter eggs, bake 'cozonaci' (similar to the more popular babka) and 'pasca' (a baked cheescake with lemon and raisins, on a brioche base) and eat lamb. But above everything, for me back in Romania, Easter was always a time for family reunions. It was all about catching up with the family, our cousins, uncles and aunts. Playing around, cracking *all* the eggs, eating too much 'cozonac' – and none of the lamb.
Ever since I moved to London, I tried my best to maintain the Easter traditions. But keeping up with traditions when you're away from your family is not always easy. Because it's not necessarily about baking that perfect 'cozonac', or dying that stunning Easter egg. It is more about the people who you're sharing it with.
So I pretty much gave up dying Easter eggs in the past years. I would still bake the 'cozonac' though. But not necessarily for myself, as mainly to give it as edible gifts to my Romanian friends living in London. Because – again – for me Easter is all about sharing. A couple of years ago I even baked an Italian 'colomba' (the Easter version of panettone), for some Italian friends here in London. This year I've baked hot cross buns for the first time, as I was looking to explore British Easter baking traditions.
And then it hit me. Instead of feeling estranged when I can't be with my family for Easter, I feel privileged for having the opportunity to share Easter traditions with people from other cultures. So this year, I'll be celebrating Easter twice. I'm having chocolate eggs, hot cross buns and roast lamb for the Catholic Easter with my British, Italian and French friends. And I'll be sharing 'cozonac' next week, with my fellow Romanian friends. How cool is that?
Happy Easter everyone, wherever you are!

A Facebook event, filled the Arcata Plaza with people looking to have fun on Valentine's day.
A pillow fight erupted in the Arcata Plaza.
The fight attracted people of all ages. At around 4 p.m. on Feb. 14, it began with children and quickly spread to the adults who arrived pillows in tow. Arcata resident Zac Shank came the most prepared with a pillow shield duct taped to his arm and a large body pillow duct taped to his hand.
The fight was organized by an Arcata resident, Rilo DeAnn, and her friend Aren Rye. DeAnn and Rye created a facebook event and began inviting friends.
DeAnn created a facebook event which at the start of the pillow fight had over 300 people interested and 70 people committed as going. The event mimics a similar event that happens each year in San Francisco and offers a distraction for those who are single on Valentine's Day.
The pillow fight may not have been as large as the one held in San Francisco, which nearly 1,000 people attended in the past, but it was not lacking on fun. The plaza went from being nearly empty and calm to being full of people. There was laughing, hugging, and lots of whacking people with pillows. Before the pillow fight began DeAnn was just hoping for other people to show up.
"If like five people come out and have a pillow fight with me I'll be happy," DeAnn said.
A bystander gets into the pillow fight action with a balloon animal sword.
DeAnn got more than the five people she was hoping for. Parents with their kids, college students, and other community members attended the pillow fight. Allison Guerrero, sociology major, and Chris Trotta, zoology major, both second year Humboldt students, attended the pillow fight.
A fun afternoon in the plaza was an excellent distraction for Guerrero and Trotta. The amount of people that attended the event was surprising.
"I was surprised how many people showed up to honestly," Trotta said.
Whether it was to distract from school or Valentine's Day. The flash mob pillow fight was a huge success as everyone involved had a good time and could just focus on hitting other people with pillows.

Q: Same SessionBeans with different states I have an issue that makes me think that i'm doing something in the wrong way.
I have a sessionBean with an entity called CashRegister that holds the cash register. When this property is null, then it means that no cash register has been created.
I have an action in a viewScope bean that in the method GoToOrdersQueue checks if the cash register (obtained from the session bean) is not null and then redirect to certain page... if the cash register is null, it shows a message saying that the cash register must be created first.
In the other hand, I have a customFilter (implementing javax.servlet.Filter) thats checks if the cash register of the session bean is not null, allowing to continue to the redirected page, and if the cash register is null, then redirects to a page that says: "Cannot see the page because the Cash register must be created first"
Know, my problem is that I create the cash register, then I call the method GoToOrdersQueue of the viewScoped bean and when it checks if the cash register is not null, the result is correct...not null so it redirect to the desired page, but.. when the filter is invoked to check if the cash register is not null, the result is incorrect ! because the session bean has the property cash register with null !
Is it the way I invoke the session bean the problem ?
In the method GoToOrdersQueue of the viewScoped bean i invoke the sessionbean like this:
ControllerSession sessionbean = JsfUtil.findBean("controllerSession");

where the method findBean is declared like this:
public static <T> T findBean(String beanName) {
    FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
    return (T) context.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(context, "#{" + beanName + "}", Object.class);
}

And in the filter I invoke the sessionbean like this:
HttpServletRequest req = (HttpServletRequest) request;
HttpSession session = req.getSession(false);
ControllerSession sessionbean = (ControllerSession) session.getAttribute("controllerSession");

Why they have differents states (in that particular property) if they are suppose to be the same object ? I use other properties like the logued user and works fine everytime.
thanks in advance for any tip !
by the way i'm using tomcat 7.0.40, jsf 2.2 and primefaces 3.5, but i think has nothing to do with this.

A: I found the problem... In the ViewScoped bean, I was getting the instance of the sessionbean at the constructor, like this:
public ControllerViewScoped(){
    sessionbean = JsfUtil.findBean("controllerSession");
}

Well, don't know why but if I use that code in every method that use the sesisoncontroller, it works...
Thanks

- After 3-4 hours of streaming we get alignment problems on DVR (Nothing in the access log or error log) playback without ?DVR works like a charm.
We have been streaming for over 6 hours. Jumping from low quality up to HD is not working very well.. Audio keeps playing and picture freezes for a minute.
If we disable DVR no problem.... Test it out. Remove ?DVR.
Nothing in the Error logs on the server.
These messages indicate your audio and video is not aligned or has gone out of alignment. DVR requires audio/video alignment.
If the above shows that the audio and video is aligned at the source, then audio and video may be arriving out of sync, which you might be able to fix by setting dvrPacketSortTime Application.xml /DVR Properties container.
I have checked the alingnement on the encoder side and the console show difference  -  constantly. I have not monitored for hours so if might not be aligned all the time. But is seems like the problem occurs after 3 HOURS every time.
But nothing in the logs after that.
Hello, this new error indicates a problem with the encoder sending packets with odd packet times. nDVR reports the issue, but can't fix it.
Anybody using Wirecast + nDVR addon + Transcoding + RTMP - Wowza 3.6.2?
The encoder gives us aligned Audio/Video, how can i debug the alignment on AAC over time? Howto write to log only when its out of alignment ?
These debug properties only show these messages in the console. They are not written to any logs.
We are using RTMP from Wirecast 4.3 latest build.
Im not sure but the last tests shows no Timecode errors. Our internet line is very stable, 100mbit fiber connection .
Does this jitter config have any impact on RTMP from the encoder ?

Newsletter: DACA, and the fate of 200,000 in California, in doubt
High school students and others rally in support of DACA at the Roybal Federal Building in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday morning.
(Al Seib/Los Angeles Times)
By Julia WickStaff Writer
Good morning, and welcome to the Essential California newsletter. It's Wednesday, Nov. 13, and I'm writing from Los Angeles.
The stories shaping California
Get up to speed with our Essential California newsletter, sent six days a week.
On Tuesday morning, hundreds of Los Angeles high school students walked out of class to rally at the downtown federal building in support of an Obama-era policy that protects 700,000 young immigrants from deportation.
A few hours earlier and 2,669 miles to the northeast, the U.S. Supreme Court had heard arguments about the legality of DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. California is home to the largest number of DACA recipients and has led the legal challenge to the Trump administration's efforts since 2017 to wind down the program. The fate of roughly 200,000 young Californian "Dreamers," as DACA recipients are known, now hangs in the balance.
[See also: "DACA changed a generation of California immigrants. These are some of their stories" in the Los Angeles Times]
My colleague David Savage, who has covered the Supreme Court and legal issues for the paper since 1986, reported that the high court's conservative judges sounded skeptical about the legality of the policy during Tuesday's oral arguments. That skepticism suggests that they may clear the way for President Trump to end the program. Given the conservative majority on the court, the best hope for DACA's survival almost surely depends on Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., according to Savage.
During Tuesday's arguments, Roberts appeared to agree with Trump's claim that Obama's policy of protecting the so-called Dreamers was legally questionable, undercutting the main legal argument used by lower courts and supporters of the program. Meanwhile, Trump's solicitor general, Noel Francisco, ran into steady criticism from the court's four liberal justices. The court isn't expected to deliver their ruling until next spring.

And now, here's what's happening across California:
Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez, a tenacious advocate for immigrants, just became the first Latino elected president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. On the eve of his election as the new leader of U.S. bishops, Gomez sent a message to his faithful back home, urging immigration reform and alluding to Tuesday's U.S. Supreme Court arguments on the DACA program. Born in Monterrey, Mexico, Gomez has in recent years evolved into a high-profile and authoritative voice in the American church, advocating for policy reforms that would include a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally.

Panzer Gunner
From my Native Canada to the German Ostfront and Back. In Action with 25th Panzer Regiment, 7th Panzer Division 1944-45

Despatched within 1-2 working days
There are few memoirs available of German Panzer crews that focus on the climactic last 12 months of the war on the Eastern Front, 1944-45. What makes Bruno Friesen's account virtually unique is his family background: his parents came from a German-speaking Mennonite community in Ukraine, and were to all intents and purposes culturally German. To make matters even more complex, in 1924 his parents left the Ukraine for Canada, where Bruno was born. In March 1939 he and his brother Oscar found themselves on a ship bound for Bremerhaven in Germany. He barely spoke German, and had never been to Germany, nevertheless his father envisaged that a better life awaited them in the Third Reich. Needless to say, Bruno became caught up in the Second World War, and in 1942 was drafted into the Wehrmacht. The author provides a full account of his family background, and how, through these unusual circumstances, he found himself a Canadian-born German soldier. The bulk of the book is a detailed account of the author's training, and his subsequent service with 25th Panzer Regiment, part of 7th Panzer Division. As the title suggests, Bruno Friesen served as a gunner aboard, initially, Panzer IVs, before crewing the lesser-known Jagdpanzer IV tank hunter. The author provides a fantastic amount of information about these two vehicles, and how the crews actually fought in battle with them. This kind of 'hands-on' detail has almost never been available before, particularly such extensive information concerning the characteristics and combat performance of the Jagdpanzer IV. Apart from providing a large fund of information about specific German tanks and their combat performance, the author writes in great detail about the combat the experienced on the Eastern Front, including tank battles in Rumania, spring 1944, Lithuania in the summer of 1944, and West Prussia during early 1945. If one wants to know how German tank crews fought the Soviets in the last year of the war, then this book provides an outstanding account, containing material simply not found elsewhere. The author closes his account by reflecting on his post-war efforts to return to Canada, which eventually succeeded in 1950, and his subsequent life there. This book is not just a critique of armoured fighting vehicles and tank warfare, it is above all a very human story, told in a lively, conversational and fluid manner, and is a remarkable contribution to the literature of the Second World War.
"This book will prove useful to anyone interested in armoured warfare on the Eastern Front or 7th Panzer Division in particular." Battlegames magazine
" ... he served as a Panzer IV and Jagdpanzer IV gunner and his book provides a wealth of interesting information about these two vehicles and what it was like to fight in them during the bitter battles of 1944-45 ... it is his first-hand accounts of tank versus tank encounters that I found fascinating." Classic Military Vehicle
"...the real interest is in his first-hand accounts of just what it was like to crew these vehicles..." AFV Modeller
"...all in all an enjoyable read. Highly recommended." Model Military International
"A recollection of leisure, training, tactics and practical operation of the Jagdpanther. It's very much a personal, warts and all story." Armourer

Q: Why are classes generated by EF Power Tools not partial? I'm using Reverse Engineered Code First code and see stubs like:
public class User
{
    public User()
    {
        this.Addresses = new List<Address>();
        ...
    }

    public int ID { get; set; }
...
}

When, based on this question, i'd expect to see partial classes.
Wouldn't this change the preferred way of extending the generated classes with my own code (which is very nicely summarized in the linked answer, btw)?
thx

A: There is a way to customize the output of the entity objects by changing the TT files.
Rowan Miller has an excellent blog post on how to do it.
In your example, you can update the Entity.TT file that's int he template
From this:
public class <#= efHost.EntityType.Name #>

To this:
public partial class <#= efHost.EntityType.Name #>

and it will create the partial classes you're looking for.

A: Our aim was to generate the simplest classes possible, as close to what you would write by hand as we could. There is no problem changing them to be partial - that's exactly the kind of reason we made the generation customizable.
