The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is the C++
compiler to
the vast majority of us and has taken the lead in supporting features from the upcoming
0x standard (see Resources for
links to more information). This article focuses on a subset of several
0x features that GCC version 4.5 supports, including
static assertions, initializer lists, type narrowing, newer semantics of the auto keyword,
lambda functions, and variadic templates. Some of these features—like static
assertions—first made their appearance in GCC version 4.3, while lambda
functions first appeared with the 4.5 release. If you intend to be one of the early
adopters of C++
0x, consider getting a copy of the draft
standard and download GCC 4.5 (see Resources).
Let's begin by briefly discussing parts of the C++
0x standard that
are not yet supported in GCC.
Static assertions
Remember those times when your portable code crashed at a customer site, because
integer sizes were not the 4 bytes you assumed them to be? The
construct in C++
helps track precisely these kind of problems, except that they are available at
compile time and immensely useful when you need to migrate sources to
different platforms. Boost libraries (see Resources) have
had support for static assertions for some time now, but having static assertions
integrated as part of the language core (static_assert
is a C++
0x keyword) implies that headers are no longer
needed (see Listing 1).
Listing 1. Learning to use static assertions
// no headers // using static assertion in global scope static_assert(sizeof(int) == 4, "Integer sizes expected to be 4"); int main() { return 0; }
On my 64-bit enterprise Linux® system, this assertion fails during compilation. Here's the log:
g++ 1.cpp --std=c++0x 1.cpp :1:1: error: static assertion failed: " Integer sizes expected to be 4"
You can use static assertions in global scope and inside namespaces, function bodies, or class declarations. Listing 2 provides another example where using static assertions helps prevent instantiating a templated class with certain argument types. The trick is to add a static assertion that is bound to fail in a specialized version of the class. While using static assertions, always remember that the expression being checked must be evaluable at compile time.
Listing 2. Using static assertions inside class declarations
// using static assertions as part of class declaration template <typename T1, typename T2> class T { T1 a; T2 b; }; template <typename T1> class T<T1, bool> { static_assert(sizeof(T1) == 0, "T<T1, bool> is not allowed, sorry"); }; int main( ) { T<float, bool> f1; // this will fail compilation T <float, int> i2; // fine … }
Introducing new character types
Admittedly, C/C++
support for Unicode has always been
lacking. Unicode defines character encodings in three distinct sizes—UTF-8,
UTF-16, and UTF-32—while the traditional character type is 8 bits. Using
is not an option, because the size of
is defined by implementation.
0x introduces two new keywords—char16_t
and char32_t
—with guaranteed sizes (16
and 32 bits, respectively—see Listing 3) and are
unsigned types. To use these new types, you must include the
header cstdint
although the standard asks you to include the header cuchar
Listing 3. Using the char16_t and char32_t data types
#include <iostream> #include <cstdint> // this is the header for char16_t and char32_t using namespace std; int main() { char16_t c = 'A'; cout << sizeof(c) << endl; char32_t d = 'b'; cout << sizeof(d) << endl; return 0; }
Sure enough, the output from Listing 3 prints 2
and 4
on the console. Now, try defining an array of
the char32_t
type, as shown below in
Listing 4.
Listing 4. Declaring and initializing char32_t array
#include <iostream> #include <cstdintglt; using namespace std; int main() { char32_t e[ ] = "Hello World"; cout << sizeof(e) << endl; return 0; }
Here's the compiler log:
g++ 1.cpp --std=c++0x 1.cpp: In function 'int main()': 1.cpp:7:8: error: int-array initialized from non-wide string
What's the issue here? Well, for starters, "Hello World" is a regular 8-bit-per-character
string and assigning it to an array of 32-bits per character is invalid. You create
string literals for these new types by prefixing u
to the string, depending on the type. Look at
Listing 5.
Listing 5. Initializing char16_t and char32_t string literals
#include <iostream> #include <cstdint> using namespace std; int main() { char16_t f[ ] = u"Hello World"; // prefix the string with u for char16_t cout << sizeof(f) << endl; char32_t e[ ] = U"Hello World"; // prefix the string with U for char32_t cout << sizeof(e) << endl; return 0; }
The expected console output was 24
, and g++ did the job nicely.
Welcome to the new auto syntax: type deduction from initializer expressions
This one is a lifesaver of sorts, with the compiler deducing the proper type for a variable
from its initializer expression. So, all the previous declarations, like
class1::class3::struct1::enum2 e
, are now history. The auto
keyword has
completely different semantics with C++
Listing 6 provides the first example.
Listing 6. Using auto for automatic type inference
#include <iostream> #include <map> using namespace std; int main() { auto *num1 = new int(7); // type for num1 is int* const auto num2 = 3.1415; // type for num2 is double // now for some serious business map<int, string> map1; map1.insert(make_pair<int, string> (7, "8")); auto mapit1 = map1.find(7); // type for mapit1 is std::map::iterator cout << mapit1->second << endl; … // continue coding }
The type for num1
is an integer pointer; num2
is a float and mapit1is std::map::iterator
. Multiple
declarations are allowed with auto
, but all deductions
must lead to the same type. Declarations are processed left to right.
Listing 7 below shows code that uses auto
and does not work.
Listing 7. Erroneous use of the auto keyword
int main( ) { auto i = 9, j = 8.2; // error – i and j should be same type auto k = &k; // dumb error – can't declare and use in initializer … }
Here's the compiler log for Listing 7:
1.cpp: In function 'int main()': 1.cpp:3:8: error: inconsistent deduction for 'auto': 'int' and then 'double' 1.cpp:4:8: error: variable 'auto k' with 'auto' type used in its own initializer
There are other subtleties with auto
. For example, using
it as a storage class specifier would not work with C++
The following code snippet works nicely if you remove the
from the g++ command line:
auto int variable1 = 8;
Here's the g++ --std=c++0x
1.cpp: In function 'int main()': 1.cpp:28:14: error: two or more data types in declaration of 'variable1'
Of initializer lists and type narrowing
Remember the good old int integer_array1 [ ] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
construct from classic C/C++
? The list defined using
—that's an initializer list. Except that the
language did not provide semantics for a broader-based use of this construct.
0x defines additional usage rules for the initializer
- Initializer lists in variable definitions
- Initializer lists in new expressions
- Can be used as a function argument and/or function return statement
- Allowed as a subscript expression
- Allowed as an argument to constructor invocation
- Type narrowing is not allowed
Before moving on to initializer list examples and typical usage, let's look at what is meant by type narrowing. Consider the code in Listing 8.
Listing 8. Initializing an integer array with float values
int main( ) { int nasty[ ] = {8, 99, 2.3, 4.0, 5}; // … return 0; }
When compiled with the g++ –Wall
option, the compiler
did not emit any warning for the above code despite the very ugly
to integer
conversion happening. This is an example of type narrowing, and thankfully, the
0x standard does not allow for it in your
code. Here's the log when you compile the code with g++ –std=c++0x
1.cpp: In function 'int main()': 1.cpp:14:34: error: narrowing conversion of '2.29999999999999982236431605997495353221893310547e+0' from 'double' to 'int' inside { } 1.cpp:14:34: error: narrowing conversion of '4.0e+0' from 'double' to 'int' inside { }
Let's move on to brighter things. The declarations in Listing 9 are now allowed.
Listing 9. Using initializer lists with STL containers
// Initializer list used with variable definition std::vector<double> doubles = {2.3, 4.511, 1.23, 0.99}; // Initializer list used with new std::list<double> *d2 = new std::list<double> {1.2, 1.3}; // Initialize a map std::map<string, int> = { {"key1", 1}, {"key2", 2} };
It's okay to use initializer lists to initialize scalar variables, and the usual rule of type
narrowing applies in such cases. If a variable is initialized with an empty initializer
list, the object is value initialized. The output from Listing 10
is 2 0 a A both x3 and x4 are null
Listing 10. Using initializer lists for scalar initialization
int main( ) { int x{2}; double x2{}; char* x3{}; int* x4 = {}; char c1 = {'a'} ; char c2 = char{'A'} ; cout << x << " " << x2 << " " << c1 << " " << c2 << endl; if (x3 == NULL && x4 == NULL) cout << "both x3 and x4 are null\n"; // int y{2.3}; → don't try this error due to type narrowing return 0; }
Note that int y(2.3)
is allowed in C++
no type narrowing is assumed, and y
while int y{2.3}
is plain
error. Given this kind of semantics, using initializer lists should be preferred
whenever possible. The C++
0x standard defines a new
class type (appropriately) called initializer_list
you can use to pass arguments to functions and constructors. Also, function return
statements are allowed to return initializer_list
however, you must include the header initializer_list
use this class type. Listing 11 provides sample uses of
Listing 11. Using initializer lists as function arguments and return types
#include <initializer_list> // argument to function void func1(std::initializer_list<int>); // function returning initializer list std::initializer_list<double> func2 (double);
Listing 12 shows how you traverse an initializer list. Note that the function can only access the list as an immutable sequence—that is, trying to modify the contents of the list results in an error.
Listing 12. Accessing the contents of an initializer list
#include <initializer_list> using namespace std; void display (initializer_list<int> arguments) { for (auto p= arguments.begin(); p!= arguments.end(); ++p) { // *p = *p * 2; → Not allowed to modify data cout << *p << "\n"; } } int main( ) { display( {3, 77, 8, 1, 9} ); return 0; }
Using auto with initializer list
What is the type for x1
in the Listing 13
Listing 13. Using automatic type deduction with initializer lists
int main( ) { auto x1 = {2, 4}; auto z2 = {3, 2.3} ; // go figure ... return 0 ; }
If you have not guessed it already, the type for x1
. As for z2
g++ throws an error, complaining quite rightly of type narrowing. If you still don't
believe in the type for x1
, just type in
Listing 14.
Listing 14. Using automatic type deduction with initializer lists
#include <iostream> #include <initializer_list> using namespace std; template <typename T> void display() {} template <> void display<std::initializer_list<int>> () { cout << "Hurray!\n"; } int main() { auto x = {2, 3}; display<decltype(x)> (); return 0; }
The output from Listing 14 is Hurray!
. The
template specialization for display
settles the debate
over the alleged type of x1
. This also brings us to yet
another C++
0x construct: the decltype
Understanding decltype
has never had an easy mechanism for querying the
type of a variable or an expression. GCC provides an extension called
(see Resources),
but that's non-standard. Enter the decltype
from C++
0x, which returns the type of a variable or
expression. If template programming is your thing, this probably is something that
should make you an immediate C++
0x convert.
Listing 15 applies the decltype
operator on a variable and shows the usage of the operator with an expression.
Listing 15. Applying a decltype operator to an expression
T1 x; T2 y; typedef T3 decltype(x+y); T3 z ;
Lambda functions
If there's a prize for hype associated with a specific new feature of the
0x standard, lambda functions take the crown.
Lambda functions are anonymous functions, which means that you don't
have to define a typical C/C++
function to get the job
done. Perhaps the most common usage of lambdas is with STL sort
So far, to use custom comparison functions, the standard practice has been to
define your own function object and then define the operator
( )
appropriately. Consider a vector of five
strings; you want to sort them on the basis of increasing string length.
Listing 16 shows the old approach.
Listing 16. Using automatic type deduction with initializer lists
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; struct compare { bool operator()(const string& s1, const string& s2) { return s1.size() < s2.size(); } }; int main() { vector<string> vs = {"This", "is", "a", "C++0x", "exercise"}; std::sort(vs.begin(), vs.end(), compare()); for (auto ivs = vs.begin(); ivs != vs.end(); ++ivs) cout << *ivs << endl; return 0; }
Listing 17 shows the new lambda-based approach.
Listing 17. Defining a lambda function for custom sorting
#include <iostream> #include <string> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main() { vector<string> vs = {"This", "is", "a", "C++0x", "exercise"}; std::sort(vs.begin(), vs.end(), [ ](const string& s1, const string& s2) { return s1.size() < s2.size(); } ) for (auto ivs = vs.begin(); ivs != vs.end(); ++ivs) cout << *ivs << endl; return 0; }
The output from both programs (Listing 16 and Listing 17)
is a is This C++0x exercise
. A quick glance at
Listing 18 reveals how lambda functions are defined. It looks
much the same as you would define a regular function except for that
[ ]
thing, right? Well, yes and no. You have to ask some
questions before you can drill down to the answers:
- Whatever happened to the return type of lambda functions?
- Can these functions access variables defined outside its scope? For example,
can the lambda function in Listing 17 access
On to the answers. You do not need to provide the return type of a lambda function; it is deduced from the return statement. In Listing 17, the return type of the lambda function is a Boolean. For the second question, just try the silly code provided in Listing 18.
Listing 18. Accessing out of scope variables inside lambda functions
int main() { vector<string> vs = {"This", "is", "a", "C++0x", "exercise"}; std::sort(vs.begin(), vs.end(), [ ](const string& s1, const string& s2) { cout << vs.size( ) << endl; return s1.size() < s2.size(); } ) … }
So, you're trying to print the size of the vector every time sort
calls the lambda. Here's what g++ has reported during compilation:
1.cpp: In lambda function: 1.cpp:12:9: error: 'vs' is not captured
There are two ways to "fix" this problem—actually, there are four ways. You
can use the square brackets ([]
) that you encountered
earlier to pass arguments to the lambda function. If you choose to pass a variable
by reference, prefix it with &
, and put it inside
the [ ]
; for variable passing by value, prefix it with
the equal sign (=
). Listing 19 has
being passed by reference.
Listing 19. Passing variables by reference to the lambda function
int main() { vector<string> vs = {"This", "is", "a", "C++0x", "exercise"}; std::sort(vs.begin(), vs.end(), [ &vs ](const string& s1, const string& s2) { cout << vs.size( ) << endl; return s1.size() < s2.size(); } ) … }
This time, the compiler nicely complied. (For clarity, try this code with
[ =vs ]
.) So, what's the third way to pass the vector to
the lambda? Well, just use [ & ]
. This syntax implies
that all local variables will be passed by reference to the lambda function. Technically
speaking, you can also use [ = ]
and pass all local variables
by value to the function: This is the fourth way to do things. However, for performance
reasons, this approach is not recommended.
Variadic templates
How do you define a templated class or a function with a variable number of arguments,
each with a potentially different type? C
has support for
defining functions with a variable number of arguments using va_list
and C++
never improved on that. Until now, that is.
0x allows you to define functions and classes with
variable numbers of arguments, and support is now the same in GCC.
Listing 20 shows the syntax.
Listing 20. Variadic function and class template
template<typename... Types> void f(Types... args) // variable number of function arguments { } template<typename... Types> class c // class with { // member code }; // Usages f('a', "hello", 2, 3.1); class c<int, double, std::vector<string>> c1;
You use the typename…
to declare variadic templates.
0x also defines the sizeof…
operator, which displays the number of arguments. Unfortunately, there is no
direct way you can iterate over the arguments. The only way to go about
exploring the template is to define a recursive version of the same along with a
base case. Not the best of things in life, but that's the way the story is so far.
Listing 21 shows how you can print the arguments of a
variadic function template.
Listing 21. Displaying the contents of a variadic function template
void f() { } template<typename T, typename... Types> void f(T a, Types... args) { cout << sizeof...(args) << endl; cout << a << endl; f(args...); } int main() { f("hello", 'a', 8.333); return 0; }
Here's the blow-by-blow account of what's happening in Listing 21:
- The first time around, the templated version of
is called, with a string as the first argument type, and the character and double are packed off as the variable size argument. - On the first invocation,
, because there are only two arguments for the variableargs
list. - Observe the syntax
: The…
is now on the right ofargs
. The second call tof
will have the variable list containing only8.333
, whilea
becomes the first argument. - When you run out of arguments, g++ ends up calling
void f() { }
which is the base case for your recursion.
Here's the output from Listing 21:
2 hello 1 a 0 8.333
The state of things to come
Future versions of GCC promise to be even more exciting. Some of the features to look forward to include:
- Garbage collection application binary interface (ABI) support.
0x standard defines interfaces accessible to application developers that allow them to tweak garbage collection. For example, the predefined functionvoid declare_reachable(void* p);
asks the garbage collector not to reclaim storage pointed to by the pointerp
. - Better support for concurrency. GCC support for
0x threads does not work well for all platforms (for example, Cygwin). Thread-specific storage is also a work in progress.
This is an exciting time to be a C++
(or should I say
0x) developer. The standards committee has been
adding features that are morphing C++
into a better platform
for (to borrow from the language of Stroustrup [see Resources])
template programming, increased type safety, systems software, and library
development. This article provided a brief overview of several features of the language
now supported in GCC version 4.5. Refer to the GCC site and the Resources

Yes! Another Other M topic! I think its a rule that every Nintendo console board have at least 2-3 of these a week. I can't wait for the same six people to argue the same 6 things in a circle again. Ill leave my obligatory "I enjoyed Other M" post. No, I'm not interested in arguing why again, its foolish that I should have to justify why I enjoyed a video game to the people of Gamefaqs every week. Other M haters: let it go. Let the people enjoy what they enjoy and stop obsessing with the extreme hatred Other M fans: stop arguing, they won't listen. Just enjoy Other M for what it is, they can't take the game away from you. On topic- Since Other M was my first Metroid game (I have since played Zero Mission and Fusion, I don't like the Primes) and all of the elements, setting, and characters (other than Samus and Ridley) were new to me, if it had been an entirely new IP it wouldve been pretty much the same and I wouldve enjoyed it the same (although I do love Ridley so maybe a bit less). Although, I doubt I wouldve even gotten the game if it didn't have the Metroid name on it. Some random sci-fi action game by Team Ninja would never have gotten my attention. --- King Boo for Super Smash Bros. Spread the word, show your support | |
I recently played it for the first time and while it is nowhere near as good as past Metroid games, it certainly isn't as bad as people on the internet and some reviewers made it sound. Yeah it's kinda dumb Samus doesn't use her full power because some guy tells her not to, but I didn't have much of a problem with anything else. Even the infamous Ridley scene was not as bad as people say. --- FFXI Lakshmi Server: Walsh | |
It would have been an atrocity either way, but at least it wouldn't have dragged the Metroid name through the mud and retroactively ruined Samus's character. --- Failing at life this hard should be a ToS violation. - TennCaseys Encore if you have standards it just lowers the amount of stuff you can enjoy. - yusiko | |

Somebody really wants this foreclosure fraud settlement to go through. So much so that California was offered a sum to participate in the settlement sure to piss off the other 49 AGs across the country. Only California was guaranteed earmarked funds from the settlement. Earlier we heard they would get $8 billion out of the $25 billion pot, or 32% of the total (California has roughly 10% of the population). Now, Shahien Nasiripour says they were in line for $15 billion, or a whopping 60%.

There's new evidence emerging about Florida AG Pam Bondi and her ties to the foreclosure industry in Florida. These include the usual financial ties, but also the sense that the Florida AG's office was a no-go zone for investigations against banks, servicers and the entities that pushed foreclosure fraud. They even urged other states' AGs to go easy on foreclosure fraudsters.

Florida AG's Politically Motivated Firings Protect the Foreclosure Fraud Industry |

Maybe it's because I've done so much reporting on the foreclosure fraud issue, but I have to admit to some surprise that the firing of two Assistant Attorney Generals down in Florida, the hotbed of the housing crisis, hasn't gotten much attention nationally. In my mind, this is the state-based equivalent of the US Attorney scandal. You have a conservative Attorney General who has fired two investigators who were tasked by a previous Republican regime with finding violations of the law. When they proved too effective for the next regime to stomach, they were canned. And now, the new AG, Pam Bondi, is smearing their reputations.

Six New 'Interstellar' Photos Take Us to New Frontiers

We're a little more than a month away before Christopher Nolan's sci-fi film, 'Interstellar,' hits theaters, and it's still somewhat of a mystery. The director of 'Inception' sure has the whole "keeping cards close to the vest" thing down pat. With a few trailers and posters now in the airwaves, however, a batch of new 'Interstellar' photos debuted to give us a bit more insight into what is surely one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year.

More Workers on Vacation Shows Better Job Market: BGOV Barometer
May 22 (Bloomberg) -- The number of U.S. workers on vacation has risen by the most since 2006, a sign of an improving labor market as more Americans have sufficient income and job security to take a few days off.
The BGOV Barometer shows there were 2.7 million people on vacation during April, based on the Labor Department's monthly survey of employment conditions. The 12-month average was up 4 percent, the biggest jump since 2006, before the deepest recession since the 1930s threw 8.8 million Americans out of work.
As the U.S. unemployment rate has declined to 8.1 percent last month from 10 percent in October 2009, more people have jobs to take vacations from, and have held them long enough to earn days off. Confidence in those jobs and the additional disposable income they provide also make workers more willing to take vacation days.
More workers on vacation is a "little sign" of growth and shows that Americans are feeling more comfortable about the economy, said Joel Naroff, president of Naroff Economic Advisors Inc. in Holland, Pennsylvania.
"For a long time they had been too concerned about losing their jobs," Naroff said. "Taking vacations, sick days, they tended not to do those."
Increased confidence should also put employers on notice that workers may be growing less fearful of losing their current jobs, Naroff said.
Warning to Employers
"Businesses have had it pretty good for the past few years as workers have been concerned about losing their jobs and have been taking everything that businesses have been willing to dish out," Naroff said. "It's a warning sign that when things get a little better, the turnover could be enormous."
Days off are up for 2012 even before next week's Memorial Day holiday, the unofficial start of summer vacation season. AAA estimates 34.8 million people are projected to travel more than 50 miles in the U.S. for the holiday.
The 2.7 million workers off last month were almost double the 1.41 million on vacation in April last year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The vacation total for April 2012 is the most for any month since 2007, excluding the peak vacation months of June, July and August.
"This strikes me as unequivocally a good sign," said Jared Bernstein, a senior fellow at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities and former chief economist for Vice President Joseph Biden. "It's a leading indicator that folks are feeling confident enough to take more vacation time."
Whether traveling for vacation or staying local, people are more likely to spend money when away from the workplace, said Bernstein. Demand for food, lodging, transportation or other activities is needed for job growth, he said.
"If consumers are sitting on their hands, we will be stuck in an economic slog," Bernstein said.

My violets LOVE our bedroom...it gets blasted with sunlight due to being in east-facing window. Also, we run a warm humidifier in that room often. The baby spider plant I rescued from one of the mama plants is blooming, too, and making its own babies.
We got a min orchid when dd was born - it finished blooming but appears to be growing a new leaf.
I have a large variegated dracaena in the living room that is growing like a weed, too.
The phony "bamboo" plant is dying though. Cat mangled it and it's been dying slowly ever since. :'(
Beautiful! I thought I'd posted a reply earlier but apparently not.
African violets love tea and water that eggs have been boiled in. I had a whole bunch in bloom, at least a dozen, and they got tea and egg water. Once a week or so I'd set them in a shallow dish with water and tea bag and just let them soak it up. They're easy to start from a leaf too. You might try starting one or more from the long necked guy, they usually don't last long when they get long necked. I had fun with my AVs. The propagated ones don't always have the same blossoms as the mama plant and I got a big variety of blossoms. I had AVs started from the same leaf that had different blossoms. You can get several babies sometimes from one leaf stem in soil.
"Lucky bamboo" is a dracaena. Is that what you have? Orchids and I never got along, they just didn't like me.
I used to have more than 100 plants, not all different, but I guess I got tired of them. I have a couple that are straggling along.
Happiness is catching that dropped stitch while it's still fixable..

child abuse
This review is part of the government's response to the recommendations of the Hammond Report following the tragic death of a 3-year-old child, Kennedy McFarlane. The aim of the review is to promote the reduction of abuse or neglect of children, and to improve the services for children who experience abuse or neglect.
BBC news report on the announcement of new child protection measures following the Baby P case.
FPG Child Development Institute presented a research document done about all substantiated cases of maltreated infants and toddlers.
This resource is an introduction to the differences between adult and children's communication. This is a mixture of small group discussion and tutor-led information giving, supported by handouts.
This report and its companion entitled Safeguarding Children in Whom Illness is Induced or Fabricated by Carers with Parenting Responsibilities, by the Department of Health, is essential reading for all paediatricians and other members of the multi-disciplinary team in the field of child protection. The Department of Health document sets out policy and guidelines for all professionals, whereas this document discusses clinical issues in more detail and provides practical advice for paediatricians.
This document specifically aims to provide user-friendly information for all health professionals in Scotland. It will be valuable to those who may very rarely come into contact with an abused child or children and their families. It is also an important source of advice for staff who have had more experience in this area and highlights the need for child protection training to be made available for all staff.
The children's hearings system, Scotland's unique system of juvenile justice, commenced operating on 15 April 1971. The system is centred on the welfare of the child. A fundamental principle is that the needs of the child should be the key test and that children who offend and children who are in need of care and protection should be dealt with in the same system. Cases relating to children who may require compulsory measures of intervention are considered by an independent panel of trained lay people.
Mind is a leading mental health charity in England and Wales and has produced information on many areas of mental health. This Mind factsheet looks at understanding addiction and dependency. It also provides references for further reading and a list of useful organisations.
These materials are intended to support teachers and pupils through their learning about the Children's Hearings system.
In a series of three documentaries for Radio 4, Jenny Cuffe reports from the frontline of social work, witnessing some of the dramatic and intractable human problems social workers are called on to deal with, as well as the moments of success and black comedy.
The first episode looks at the new staff recruited to work in the London Borough of Haringey where Victoria Climbie was murdered.
The second programme discusses some to of the mental health issues social workers face.

What Brett Favre Does When On The Sideline In Street Clothes
We get that Brett really doesn't know what to do when he's standing on the sideline in street clothes while his team is playing a football game.
We also understand Brett may have some issues with his penis — holding it, taking photos of it, trying to put it where it doesn't belong, slinging it around like a football.
That's why this makes total sense.
If you were unable to watch the Minnesota Vikings get killed by the New York Giants last night, well… thank the NFL, because it was a terrible game to watch.
Anyway, here's what you didn't get to see.

I am a big Favre fan and a big Packer fan, yes you can be both. All I can say is whoopdee doo he had an itch, I get em too and have been caught scratching. Leave the guy alone, I guarantee you that almost 90 percent of you guys watch the Packers every Sunday with your hand shoved down your pants anyways.
Yes, it's definitely time to leave old Brett alone. He still managed to accomplish more in a season and a half with the Queens than McCarthy and Rodgers have accomplished in almost 3 full seasons. Time to focus all that Packer energy on the firing of McCarthy, Slocum, Campen, and whoever the strength and conditioning coach is.

Pauline Wilson Testimonial September 7th -14th Montcabirol Another amazing week at Montcabirol, beautiful demonstrations of physical medium-ship with Tom, Kevin, Jo and John. We had two sittings with Tom in the cabinet, love filled the room bringing evidence of the afterlife to us all. John Campbell Sloan spoke to us in independent voice giving guidance, evidence and answering questions of life in the spirit world. Irene Simms came forward with her sense of humour. Trumpets whizzing, going through the roof and back. We could see this with the tabs. Heard her dance, clap and play the instruments, levitating the tables too. Answering questions and speaking of her past life, which touched our hearts. Phil Starr came forward, it was great to hear him and Irene speak to each other in independent voice. This is the first year I have experienced this. I felt in awe, blown away, hearing them speaking to each other, as I would speak to my friends. Tom, at one point sat for transfiguration in red light. This was again, very, very, special. Faces above him, around him and changing on him. It was so touching. I saw my mum, a few tears were shed by us all. The last song played was "Imagine". You could hear a man speak, he walk up in front of a few of us and sang in our faces. When the circle ended, Tom in the chair had been levitated from the cabinet and sat in the middle of the circle. We had two healing circles with Kevin. This was just beautiful. We each had a turn for healing. I was fortunate to be sitting across from Kevin, watching Spirit and Kevin work. I saw his hands disappear into my friends back. Afterwards she spoke of feeling hands within her very being. Thank you. The sun shone every day as we sat in the magical surroundings. Myself and Avril, Jacky and Sandra from Glasgow. Our hosts Tom, Kevin, Jo and James could not have been kinder or more giving. We also meet more of Kevin's family, Mandy and Charlie, lovely. Thanks to all for touching our hearts, making us feel at home and bringing us love and evidence from Spirit. Also for giving myself and Avril the opportunity of sitting in the cabinet to develop our medium-ship. Good honest medium-ship is found at Montcabirol. Pauline . |
Healing energy with Avril and Pauline |

This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2008) |
David Viscott (May 24, 1938 - October 10, 1996), was an American psychiatrist, author, businessman, and media personality. He was a graduate of Dartmouth (1959), Tufts Medical School and taught at University Hospital in Boston. He started a private practice in psychiatry in 1968 and later moved to Los Angeles in 1979 where he was a professor of psychiatry at UCLA. He founded and managed the Viscott Center for Natural Therapy in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach and Pasadena, California.[1]
In 1980 Viscott began presenting his own full-time show on talk radio, and was notably one of the first psychiatrists to do so (talk station KABC). He screened telephone calls and gave considerable amount of free psychological counselling to his on-air "patients."
In 1987 Viscott briefly had his own live syndicated TV show, Getting in Touch with Dr. David Viscott, providing much the same service as his radio show. In fact, the shows ran concurrently. In the early 1990s he had a weekly call-in therapy television program on KNBC in Los Angeles early Sunday morning after Saturday Night Live, titled Night Talk with Dr. David Viscott.
Viscott's signature style was to attempt to isolate an individual's source of emotional problems in a very short amount of time.[citation needed] Many of his books were of a self-help nature, written to assist the individual with his/her own examination of life. His autobiography, The Making of a Psychiatrist, was a best-seller, a Book of the Month Club Main Selection, and nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
Along with psychiatric advice, he would fall back on his medical knowledge to regularly devote entire segments of radio to answering medical questions. During these segments he would give medical advice. Many of the questions answered had to do with pharmacological advice. This was unique in the world of talk radio.
Viscott's popularity peaked in the early 1990s, and then fell sharply. A separation from his wife, followed by declining health, occurred at about the same time that he left the air waves. He died in 1996 of heart failure complicated by a diabetic condition. At the time, he was living alone in Los Angeles. He is survived by his four children, Elizabeth, Penelope, Jonathan, and Melanie.[1]
Dr. David Viscott, a practicing psychiatrist and author who provided diagnoses and tough love therapy to radio listeners as they cruised the Los Angeles freeways, was found dead in his Studio City home on Monday. He was 58.

Comments about Liberty MCNETT Sil-Fix Sil-Nylon Repair Kit:
I used this to patch a hole in my rain jacket. I think it worked. I haven't put it to a rigorous waterproofing test, but I haven't felt any leakage. The edges were starting to come off after a few months of daily wear. I used a patch that didn't come with the kit and I don't know how well I applied it. Not sure who's to blame. I put a piece of duct tape on top of the patch to hold down the edges and all is well.

Comments about Liberty MCNETT Sil-Fix Sil-Nylon Repair Kit:
I sat a little too close to a camp fire and an ember landed on my down jacket. I purchased this patch kit to repair the small burn hole in the jacket. I was able to cut a small circle out of the patch material provided. I kept the excess for future accidents.

Tailored doesn't mean it has to be the best for it. The warp cores are no different than consoles: their benefit depends largely on the player's build/setup rather than the ship itself.
In this case the Nebula would come with a core that boosts all sci stats depending on power levels... but there are warp cores that might offer better options depending on the player's needs (shield resist cores? weapon damage? etc).
Naturally they dont want that because they have to adapt cores after releases since its a new mechanic and if they were on pay ships you can guess what would happened if nerfed and also because doing so would remove any reasoning to remove the core that cone with the ship making the entire system redundant.
Again, its no different than c-store consoles.
And before anyone comes with "it would only be for this ships" I would like to remind
they did for one ship this would lead to everyone asking "were my core Cryptic" for their ships.
Thats why I'm saying this would only be for cstore ships. Heck perhaps even limit it to T5 ships since the T1-4's have the share-able consoles.

"It's wrong for Warren Buffett's secretary to pay a higher tax rate than Warren Buffett," Obama said in a December speech in Osawatomie, Kan. "And by the way, Warren Buffett agrees with me. So do most Americans – Democrats, independents, and Republicans. And I know that many of our wealthiest citizens would agree to contribute a little more if it meant reducing the deficit and strengthening the economy that made their success possible."
Here's a hint that Americans who tune in Tuesday night will hear something like that again: The long-time secretary of Mr. Buffett, the Nebraska investor and billionaire, is scheduled to be a guest at the State of the Union address.
Between 1995 and 2008, the earnings of America's top 400 income-tax filers went up 276 percent to an average of $164 million in adjusted gross income. Their average tax rate during that same period fell by some 39 percent, to 18.1 percent of income in 2008, according to Internal Revenue Service data culled by journalists at Politifact.com.
At the same time, economic progress for the average American has faltered. Adjusted for inflation, the median household income of $49,445 is about $1,000 higher than it was in 1995, but it is down from levels seen between 1997 and 2009, according to the US Census Bureau.
