|Artists in exile : the great flight of culture

|Expatriate artists -- Europe; Artists -- New York (State) -- New York
|The subject of this thesis is the circumstances surrounding the emigration of European modern artists to America in the late 1930's and early 1940's, and their initial reception in the city of New York. The primary vehicle of this investigation will be the Artists in Exile show, their first collective exhibition which took place at the Pierre Matisse Gallery in March of 1942. The reason why it is felt that such an investigation is warranted is that while there is a great deal of literature concerned with the Nazis vehement denunciation of modern art and their persecution of its practitioners, little has been written on how these artists actually came to arrive in America. It is I believe, too often assumed that while their voyage may have been a difficult one, they were embraced by a nation that has perpetually proclaimed itself as a defender of democratic freedom and a haven for the oppressed. Contrary to this assumption, it will be asserted that their initial presence was largely met with resistance in America due to a historical period of economic, social, political and cultural isolationism. In Chapter One, an attempt will be made to more clearly define the historical circumstances which gave rise to American isolationism and a resultant anti-alienism, sentiments which had a direct bearing upon the cool reception of the Europeans and their work. Given the existance of such attitudes, it becomes necessary as well to identify the various groups who championed the artist refugees, their motives in doing so, and the specific strategies employed to circumvent native resistance in order to bring these individuals to North American shores. It will be asserted that this support came from a small group of liberals situated within northeastern educational institutions who were alarmed by the fascist threat to freedom of scholary and artistic expression. In addition, they were motivated by what they believed to be an unprecedented opportunity to bring to America and place at its disposal, superior levels of European scholarly and artistic achievement. Chapter Two will undertake an investigation into the reception of the Europeans in New York based upon an analysis of the problematic usage of catagories employed to place them in roles reflective of their circumstances. These terms include refugee, emigré, immigrant, exile, and alien. In addition, it will hopefully be revealed how these new roles had a deleterious effect upon the self perception of the emigres, seriously affecting their critical output as exiles. Chapter Three will be devoted to the Artists in Exile show itself. Specific focus will be on the strategies employed in its manifesto and why for the most part, they were unsuccessful in winning over a viewing public largely resistant to European modern art. In addition, specific works exhibited in the show will be analysed to see how they registered the varied concerns of the artist emigrés at this time in history. Finally, the conclusion will deal with two additional shows of European modern art in that same year; the First Papers of Surrealism, and Peggy Guggenheim's Art of This Century. It will be maintained that the strategies employed in this latter show were to a high degree, largely responsible for the eventual winning over of needed patrons necessary for the acceptance and continuation of European modern art in America.

text: LEXINGTON, KY. — If recent history holds, Kyle Wiltjer will have a huge impact on tonight's basketball game against Long Island University-Brooklyn. The University of Kentucky's sophomore power forward scored nine points but played just 24 minutes in Wednesday's 81-70 victory over Morehead State. The other starters averaged 35 minutes. Coach John Calipari said Wiltjer was a liability on defense.

Saw Blades: Making the Cut
Saw Blades: Making the Cut
Having recently returned from the World of Concrete/World of Masonry show in Las Vegas, I was able to see firsthand the progress that the saw blade industry continues to make, year after year. Durability and long life are ongoing goals. Blades created for specific purposes stole the show, from mortar-removal blades to the latest in tuckpointing-purposed blades. General-purpose blades still are in demand, and even a basic blade packs a wealth of functionality and ingenuity. Following are several saw blades that are new to the market and promise to get the job done better, in less time.
Deteriorating mortar leads to water seepage, which can ruin the structural integrity of a building. This critical application demands high-quality, long-lasting diamond tuckpointing blades that can withstand a harsh environment. Bosch sandwich tuckpointing blades are built to the highest standards of quality in the industry. By combining tall segments and a superior diamond/metal mix with an efficient and fast sandwich-blade design, Bosch has created long-lasting tuckpointing blades that are designed to grind more surface area than competitive blades. These eight-segment blades are made exclusively for dry tuckpointing applications with blade widths of 6.35 mm (¼ inch) and cutting depths ranging from .75 inch for 4.5-inch blades to 1.25 inch for 5-inch blades. Typical applications for tuckpointing blades include mortar removal in brick buildings and grout removal in commercial tile applications that include waste water treatment plants and subway tunnels.
Diamond Vantage
Diamond Vantage introduces the Laser Welded All-Purpose Blade. This is Diamond Vantage's newest all-purpose blade. It is equipped with new .472-inch (12mm) hybrid notched turbo segments for aggressive cutting of a wide range of materials, from cured concrete to asphalt, and everything in between. The blade also features wedge segments for undercut protection. And the best part? This new blade is proudly manufactured in Irvine, Calif. The company promises performance, competitively priced.
Tulsa, Okla.
The Hilti DS-BB Masonry Diamond Blades help make a mason's job easier by providing fast cutting to help get the job done on time. The DS-BB blades are designed to match the RPM and horsepower of stationary saws, thus providing optimum speed and life for the most productivity, and providing fast cutting, long life and more operator comfort. These blades feature tensioned cores, which allow straighter cutting, reduction in waste and improvement of the operator's quality of work and efficiency. They also improve the work environment for the operator and surrounding workers, because they make less noise during cutting than regular masonry blades.
Olathe, Kan.
The Husqvarna Banner Line BLM series of masonry blades covers all cutting needs. The series includes four blade specifications. The Gold 1 BLM is perfect for fast, free cutting of various types of brick: dense/hard brick, brick pavers, fired refractory, acid brick and medium-hard brick. The Blue 1 BLM is a general purpose blade for cutting medium-hard to hard brick, stone, hard concrete block and combination brick (80 percent brick, 20 percent block). The Red 1 BLM is another general purpose blade for cutting brick and hard paving block (50 percent brick, 50 percent block), abrasive granite and has a longer life cutting soft brick and fast cutting of block. The last blade in the series, the Red 8 BLM, is perfect for cutting abrasive lightweight block and has a longer life when cutting combination block and soft brick (20 percent brick, 80 percent block). All blades are available in 14 and 20 inches.
MK Diamond Products Inc.
Torrance, Calif.
MK Diamond Products' MK-742DSL dry-cutting diamond blade is a silent core blade that has been engineered using an arrayed pattern of diamonds that are aligned for maximum abrasion and material removal. The arrayed pattern allows all the diamonds to work in unison, increasing cutting efficiency by 65 percent over conventional blades. The MK-742DSL has the benefit of a Sandwich Core, manufactured with two steel cores laminated with a copper center that provides the greatest sound reduction. This is beneficial on jobsites where controlling the cutting noise level is an issue near schools or hospitals. In addition, a quieter blade reduces the chance of hearing loss for an operator. The silent core also reduces vibration for operator safety and longer blade life. The MK-742DSL has a 10-mm segment height and is available in 14-inch diameters.
Valley Forge, Pa.
When it comes to daily concrete work, you never know where or what you will be cutting. The Norton 4X4 family of diamond blades provides a multi-purpose solution that truly cuts everything: concrete, reinforced concrete, asphalt, building materials, ductile and metal. Cutting water pipe and then to asphalt over concrete for patch work? No problem. The Norton 4X4 blade does just that with an improved diamond bond configuration that cuts faster and lasts longer. Cutting more steel, rebar or other metal? Then the 4X4 Max Cut is the blade you need in your arsenal. It excels in these applications, giving the blade more life than any other on the market today. It cuts everything the 4X4 does. Only performing concrete or abrasive materials cutting? Then the 3X3 is a wise choice. It's priced right with great performance.
Stihl Inc.
Virginia Beach, Va.
TS 480i STIHL Cutquik gives professionals the ideal 12-inch companion for construction and demolition operations. The TS 480i features an electronically controlled fuel-injection system to deliver 17 percent more power and 15 percent greater cutting speed, as compared to the STIHL TS 410, while offering the convenience of electronic water control as standard. The STIHL computer-controlled fuel injection system continuously and precisely determines fuel mixture and ignition timing for optimal performance. The standard electronic water control feature allows for easy and efficient water flow adjustment while cutting, storing the last-use setting information that was used; and water flow automatically stops at idle speed and starts again when the throttle is engaged. This well-rounded performer with low exhaust emissions offers high torque and unparalleled responsiveness throughout the RPM range. Compact, lightweight and well-balanced, the TS 480i is designed for superior handling and comfortable operation.
World Diamond Source
Pompano Beach, Fla.
The General Purpose Extreme is the only true general purpose masonry blade proven to give extremely long life. Each blade comes with 3/8-inch wave-style segments with speed notches for instant cutting speed and extended blade life in all masonry materials. The slanted slot design keeps the blade cooler and helps remove slurry while the blade is in rotation. This blade is prepressed out of the box for instant speed. Every blade is double laser welded for strength and safety. We make them with universal arbors or custom for every saw manufacturer, so no adapters are needed. Anyone can make a blade look good; these are built to last. It is built for use on all table or hand-held cut-off saws, available in 12 and 14 inches.

A Finnish online bank used to include a third-party analytics and tracking script in all of its pages. Ospi first wrote about it (in Finnish) in February 2015, and this caused a bit of a fuss.
The bank responded to users' worries by claiming that all information is collected anonymously:
But is it true?
As Ospi notes, a plethora of information is sent along the HTTP request for the tracker script. This includes, of course, the IP address of the user; but also the full URL the user is browsing. The bank's URLs reveal quite a bit about what the user is doing (e.g.
I logged in to the bank (using well-known test credentials) to record one such tracking request. The URL sent to the third party tracker contains a cleartext transaction archive code that could easily be used to match a transaction between two bank accounts, since it's identical for both users. But there's also a hex string called "accountId" (highlighted in red).
Remote Address: 80.***.***.***:443 Request URL: https://www.google-analytics.com/collect?v=1&_v=j33&a=870588619&t =pageview&_s=1&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fonline.********.fi%2Febank%2Facco unt%2FinitTransactionDetails.do%3FbackLink%3Dreset%26accountId%3D 69af881eca98b7042f18e975e00f9d49d5d5ee64%26rowNo%3D0%26type%3Dtra ns%26archivecode%3D20150220123456780002&ul=en-us&de=windows-1252& dt=Tilit%C2%A0%7C%C2%A0Verkkopankki%20%7C%20S-Pankki&sd=24-bit&sr =1440x900&vp=1440x150&je=1&fl=16.0%20r0&_u=QACAAQQBI~&jid=&cid=18 39557247.1424801770&uid=&tid=UA-37407484-1&cd1=&cd2=demo_accounts &cd3=%2Ffi%2F&z=2098846672 Request Method: GET Status Code: 200 OK
It's 40 hex characters long, which is 160 bits. This happens to be the length of an SHA-1 hash.
Could it really be a simple hash of the user's bank account number? Let's try. The test account's IBAN code is FI96 3939 0001 0006 03, but this doesn't give us the above hash. However, if we remove the country code, IBAN checksum, and all whitespaces, it turns out we have a match!
This is a BBAN format bank account number. BBAN numbers are easy to brute-force, especially if the bank is already known. I wrote the following C program, 22 lines of code, that reversed the above hash to the correct account number in 0.5 seconds.
#include <openssl/sha.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main() {
const char target_hash[SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH] = {
0x69, 0xaf, 0x88, 0x1e, 0xca, 0x98, 0xb7, 0x04, 0x2f, 0x18,
0xe9, 0x75, 0xe0, 0x0f, 0x9d, 0x49, 0xd5, 0xd5, 0xee, 0x64
unsigned char test_number[15];
unsigned char test_hash[SHA_DIGEST_LENGTH];
for (int bban_office=0; bban_office < 9999; bban_office++) {
for (int bban_id=0; bban_id <= 999999; bban_id++) {
snprintf((char*)test_number, 15, "3939%04d%06d", bban_office,
SHA1(test_number, 14, test_hash);
if (memcmp(test_hash, target_hash, 20) == 0) {
printf("found %s\n", test_number);
In conclusion, the third party is provided with the user's IP address, bank account number, addresses of subpages they visit, and account numbers associated with all transactions they make. The analytics company should also have no difficulty matching the user with its own database collected from other sites, including their full name and search history.
Incidentally, this is in breach of the Guidelines on bank secrecy (PDF) by the Federation of Finnish Financial Services; "In accordance with the secrecy obligation, third parties may not even be disclosed whether a certain person is a customer of the bank" (pg 4) (sama suomeksi).
The script was eventually removed from the site, leaving the bank regretful that such a useful tool was lost. However, alternatives do exist (like Piwik) that can be run locally, not involving a third party.

Respond to Review of Au Lac Fountain Valley
by vegan frog
Review: Great food. We went there in a large group and shared all the dishes. They were all great, except maybe the sweet and sour, but I am not keen on sweet and sour, so it's probably why I didn't love it. It's hard to pick because there are so many options! Located in an asian part of town, a little hard to find since it's in a strip mall.

Senate panel rejects election of education chief
A bid to make Louisiana's education superintendent an elected position failed to gain traction Wednesday in the state Senate, but only after showcasing the deep divide between state and local education leaders.
The state superintendent is hired by the 11-member Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, often with heavy influence from the governor. BESE includes eight elected members and three gubernatorial appointees.
The Senate Education Committee voted 4-2 against Sen. Bob Kostelka's proposal to return to an elected superintendent, which the state had in place until the mid-1980s. Gov. Bobby Jindal opposed the bill, along with BESE President Chas Roemer.
Kostelka, R-Monroe, said it wouldn't take effect until current superintendent John White's contract expired. But Kostelka made it clear he was not pleased with the policies pushed by White or the BESE members who hired him.
"We've got what I consider a bad one now," Kostelka said of the superintendent.
Kostelka criticized the spending and contracts AT the Department of Education and said White and BESE members were too influenced by out-of-state organizations pushing education agendas. He suggested BESE simply approves White's policies without question.
White didn't testify about the bill.
Roemer said BESE evaluates the superintendent annually. He said 13 states have elected superintendents, and 12 of them have lagged behind Louisiana in education improvements in recent years.
"I take great offense to the idea that we're a rubber stamp not taking our job seriously," Roemer said.
Offering support for the election proposal were local superintendents and school board members who have bristled at efforts by Jindal, White and BESE to expand charter schools, to create a statewide voucher program to send children to private schools and to move away from traditional public schools.
"We don't feel like we have a superintendent or a BESE board that is in touch with us," said Bill Norris, a member of the Ouachita Parish School Board. "I think an elected superintendent would give the people someone that they have access to."
The Louisiana Association of School Superintendents supported Kostelka's bill, along with the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, a statewide union.
Lottie Beebe, a BESE member and superintendent-elect of St. Martin Parish, also backed the proposal. She is often at odds with the Jindal administration, White and a majority of BESE members.
Critics of the bill said that in local school districts, the school board members are elected and then choose the superintendent - just like BESE does.
Sen. Eric LaFleur, D-Ville Platte, voted for the proposal, saying he thought the full Senate should debate the idea. But he said he doesn't think that would necessarily change the policies that Kostelka opposes. He noted that lawmakers have voted to support the proposals offered by the governor, White and BESE.
"I just don't know that we should change the entire process because we're not happy with current policy," he said.
Voting against Kostelka's bill were Sens. Dan Claitor, R-Baton Rouge; Jack Donahue, R-Mandeville; Elbert Guillory, D-Opelousas; and Mack "Bodi" White, R-Denham Springs.
Voting for Kostelka's bill were LaFleur and Sen. Mike Walsworth, R-West Monroe.

Registration is underway for North Central College's 2012 D-Term Verandah experiences, taking place both on and off campus.
North Central College will present the documentary, "Race to Nowhere: The Dark Side of America's Achievement Culture," at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, in the theatre at Meiley-Swallow Hall. A faculty and student discussion, with audience participation, will follow the free event.
John's teacher preparation started early. He was placed in practicums at all levels—elementary, middle and high school. He observed and worked alongside great teachers who "really included me in the experience."
"North Central properly prepares you. Friends at other schools didn't get the practice hours or classroom experience, so they were overwhelmed when they got to student teaching. They ended up going into another field, after all that schooling."
John admits he chose North Central because of its coaching legends and track and field program. A star pole vaulter, he was a three-time conference champion. But he stayed at North Central because of what took place in his classes. "The small class size makes possible close relationships with your professors. They learn about you, take an interest in you and know how to give you the best possible opportunities."
Graduates of North Central College earn more income over their lifetimes than peers who graduate from most comparable schools, a new survey finds.
North Central College ranks among the top 15 percent of private, nonprofit schools in the 2011-2012 survey by Payscale.com. The mid-career median salary for North Central College graduates is $81,300, ranking No. 39 out of 303 schools in the private, nonprofit category.
U.S. News & World Report magazine ranks North Central College among America's Best Colleges for 2013.
North Central College is ranked No. 13 in the Midwest in the Regional Universities category—schools that offer a full range of undergraduate and master's degrees. North Central College was ranked No. 23 among Midwest Regional Universities for 2012.
North Central College has been named a 2013 Military Friendly School by G.I. Jobs magazine.
The 2013 Military Friendly Schools list honors the top 15 percent of colleges, universities and trade schools that are doing the most to embrace America's military service members and veterans as students. This is the second consecutive year North Central College has earned the recognition.
North Central College and ChemWest co-present a free chemistry demonstration by award-winning high school chemistry teacher Bob Becker at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, in Pfeiffer Hall.
Josh Stumpenhorst earned another Teacher of the Year accolade, this time from the Illinois Education Association (IEA). As part of his recognition, he threw out the first pitch before a Cubs baseball game at Wrigley Field on June 12. Stumpenhorst is a sixth-grade social science and language arts teacher at Lincoln Junior High School in Naperville and was named the Illinois State Board of Education's Teacher of the Year in fall 2011.
Mark Myers, choral director at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, IL, has been honored with a Vocal Vanguard award, a 2012 Aspire Award sponsored by FAME, a national show choir competition. The award was based on the number of online nominations Myers received from fellow members of the Academy of Show Choir Professionals around the country.
A North Central College conference showcased the scholarly work of professors, whose academic pursuits include conducting research, writing fiction and nonfiction and creating works of art.
"A Promising Start: Excellence in Scholarship" on Sept. 4 featured panel discussions, poster presentations and sessions during which nearly 40 faculty members shared stories and findings of their independent scholarly work.
North Central College prepares students to be informed,
involved, principled and productive citizens and leaders over their lifetime.

Bill Hilbig: Hobe Sound's Anderson tops final FSGA points standings
It's official, a pair of Treasure Coast residents finished first and second in the Florida State Golf Association's 2010 Player-of-the-Year standings.
Stephen Anderson of Hobe Sound earned the Amateur Player-of-the-Year award with 1,240 points, while Bobby Bird of Vero Beach was second with 1,110 points.
Anderson, 40, capped off the season by winning the Florida Mid-Amateur Championship. He also won the Mid-Senior Four-Ball South Championship, placed second place at the Four-Ball Championship, and advanced to the round of 32 at the Amateur Match Play Championship. In addition, Anderson advanced to match play at the U.S. Mid-Amateur.
Bird captured the Florida Mid-Amateur Stroke Play and Florida Four-Ball Championship titles.
Anderson and Bird were an important part of Florida's victory over Georgia and Alabama in last month's biennial, Ryder Cup-style Southeastern Challenge Matches.
Jack Demello recorded a hole-in-one on the 176-yard 12th hole at Vero Beach Country Club on Saturday, using a 5-iron. Peter Newman, Alan Jackson and Alan Goldie were witnesses.
Janina Weghorn aced the 120-yard third hole at Bent Pine in Vero Beach, using a 9-wood. It was her fifth career hole-in-one and second this year.
John Hogarth aced the 133-yard 17th hole on the Blue Course at Martin County Golf and Country Club last Thursday.
Joe Charles aced the 129-yard No. 8 hole on the Gold Course at Martin County last Thursday. Hogarth and Charles were playing in the 18-Hole Men's League.
Golf Digest has come out with its latest listing of the 100 top instructors in the country and a list of top instructors in each state. Although no one from our area made the top 100 list, several instructors with Treasure Coast connections made the state lists.
Stuart resident Jerry Tucker, who is an assistant professional at Trump International in West Palm Beach, is on the Florida list, along with Bill Davis of the Jupiter Hills Club in Tequesta and Joe Hallett of the PGA Center for Golf Learning and Performance in Port St. Lucie.
Three former employees at Bent Pine in Vero Beach also made the state lists.
Todd Anderson of Sea Island Golf Club in St. Simons Island was No. 1 in Georgia and tied for 20th in the nationwide list. Anderson was at Bent Pine from 1984-88.
Eric Johnson, who was at Bent Pine from 1997-98 and is now at is at Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pa., made the Pennsylvania list.
Joe Plecker, who was at Bent Pine from 2005-08 and is now at the Baltimore Country Club, made the Maryland list.
Impressive is about all you can say about this year's Patriot Golf Day. According to the PGA of America and U.S. Golf Association, which sponsored the event, more than $2.7 million was raised across the nation the Labor Day Weekend.
Since the event began in 2007, more than $8million has been donated to the Folds of Honor Foundation, which provides post-secondary educational scholarships for children and spouses of military service men and women killed or disabled while in the line of duty.
A total of 1,163 educational scholarships have been awarded by the Folds of Honor since 2007.
Everyone who participated in the festivities and contributed to the cause deserve our thanks.

Parliament Buildings : Michelin's recommendations
On the south side of James Bay stands a long, squat stone building with a central dome, topped by a gilt statue of Capt. George Vancouver. Designed by Francis Rattenbury (1867-1935) and completed in 1898, "the buildings," as they are known, house the British Columbia legislature and government offices. Stationed in front of them is a bronze statue of Queen Victoria. A highly decorated arch beneath the dome marks the entrance. At dusk thousands of small lights outline the buildings' exterior, adding a romantic flair.

Gear Question
My knee top is 42cm and bottom is 35cm....
My knee top is 42cm and bottom is 35cm. It falls between Large and Medium so which size should I order?
Elias Littenberg
When in doubt, I go smaller. I'd rather deal with something being too snug than to have it floating around and not protecting properly. Impact gear that's too big will move around a bunch when you're eating crap. But yo, be savvy! Order up both sizes and return the one that doesn't cut it for you. We've got a bomber return policy to help take the guess-work out of these decisions. Rap with a Gearhead and they'll get you all sorted out.

What Is the Smart Grid?
By: Joe Miller
By Joe Miller
Many people are asking, "What is the Smart Grid?" Many more are trying to define it with short "sound bite" descriptions. These short statements cannot adequately convey the level of detail needed to provide a clear understanding. The Smart Grid isn't a thing but rather a vision and to be complete, that vision must be expressed from various perspectives - its values, its characteristics, and the milestones for achieving it.
Smart grid values
The transformation to the Smart Grid will require new investment and commitment by its many stakeholders. These stakeholders expect significant value in return. Understanding how this value will be created is an important step in defining the vision. Expectations for the Smart Grid are great and will be realized through advances in each of the six value areas described below:
It must be more reliable. A reliable grid provides power, when and where its users need it and of the quality they value.
It must be more secure. A secure grid withstands physical and cyber attacks without suffering massive blackouts or exorbitant recovery costs. It is also less vulnerable to natural disasters and recovers quickly.
It must be more economic. An economic grid operates under the basic laws of supply and demand, resulting in fair prices and adequate supplies.
It must be more efficient. An efficient grid employs strategies that lead to cost control, minimal transmission and distribution losses, efficient power production, optimal asset utilization while providing consumers options for managing their energy usage.
It must be more environmentally friendly. An environmentally friendly grid reduces environmental impacts thorough improvements in efficiency and by enabling the integration of a larger percentage of intermittent resources than could otherwise be reliably supported.
It must be safer. A safe grid does no harm to the public or to grid workers and is sensitive to users who depend on it as a medical necessity.
Smart grid principal characteristics
The Smart Grid can be considered a "transactive" agent. That is, it will enable financial, informational, as well as "electrical" transactions among consumers, grid assets, and other authorized users. Its functionality is defined by the following seven principal characteristics:
First, it will enable active participation by consumers. The Smart Grid will give consumers information, control, and options that enable them to engage in new "electricity markets." Grid operators will treat willing consumers as resources in the day-to-day operation of the grid. Well-informed consumers will modify consumption based on the balancing of their demands and resources with the electric system's capability to meet those demands.
Second, it will accommodate all generation and storage options. It will seamlessly integrate all types and sizes of electrical generation and storage systems using simplified interconnection processes and universal interoperability standards to support a "plug-and-play" level of convenience. Large central power plants, including environmentally friendly sources such as wind and solar farms and advanced nuclear plants, will continue to play a major role even as large numbers of smaller distributed resources, including Plug-in Electric Vehicles, are deployed.
Third, it will enable new products, services, and markets. The Smart Grid will link buyers and sellers together - from the consumer to the Regional Transmission Organization. It will support the creation of new electricity markets from the home energy management system at the consumer's premise to technologies that allow consumers and third parties to bid their energy resources into the electricity market. The Smart Grid will support consistent market operation across regions.
Fourth, it will provide power quality for the digital economy. It will monitor, diagnose, and respond to power quality deficiencies resulting in a dramatic reduction in the business losses currently experienced by consumers due to insufficient power quality.
Fifth, it will optimize asset utilization and operate efficiently. Operationally, the Smart Grid will improve load factors, lower system losses, and dramatically improve outage management performance. The availability of additional grid intelligence will give planners and engineers the knowledge to build what is needed when it is needed, to extend the life of assets, to repair equipment before it fails unexpectedly, and to more effectively manage the work force. Operational, maintenance and capital costs will be reduced thereby keeping downward pressure on prices.
Sixth, it will anticipate and respond to system disturbances (self-heal). It will heal itself by performing continuous self-assessments to detect and analyze issues, take corrective action to mitigate them and, if needed, rapidly restore grid components or network sections. It will also handle problems too large or too fast-moving for human intervention.
And finally, the Smart Grid will operate resiliently against attack and natural disaster. The Smart Grid will incorporate a systemwide solution that reduces physical and cyber vulnerabilities and enables a rapid recovery from disruptions. Its resilience will create an image that intimidates would-be attackers. It will also be less vulnerable to natural disasters.
Smart grid milestones
Smart Grid milestones represent the building blocks of the Smart Grid. Completion of each requires the deployment and integration of various technologies and applications. "One size does not fit all" - the sequence for implementing these milestones and the degree of implementation will depend on the specific circumstances of those involved.
Consumer Enablement (CE) empowers consumers by giving them the information and education they need to effectively utilize the new options provided by the Smart Grid. CE includes solutions such as Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), home area networks with in-home displays, distributed energy resources (DER), and demand response programs as well as upgrades to utility information technology architecture and applications that will support "plug-and-play" integration with all future Smart Grid technologies.
Advanced Distribution Operations (ADO) improves reliability and enables "self-healing." ADO includes solutions such as smart sensors and control devices, advanced outage management, distribution management, and distribution automation systems, geographical information, and other technologies to support two-way power flow and microgrid operation.
Advanced Transmission Operations (ATO) integrates the distribution system with RTO operational and market applications to enable improved overall grid operations and reduced transmission congestion. ATO includes substation automation, integrated wide area measurement applications, power electronics, advanced system monitoring, and protection schemes and modeling, simulation, and visualization tools to increase situational awareness and provide a better understanding of real-time and future operating risks.
Advanced Asset Management (AAM) integrates the grid intelligence acquired in achieving the other milestones with new and existing asset management applications. This integration enables utilities to reduce operations and maintenance and capital costs and better utilize assets during day-to-day operations. Additionally, it significantly improves the performance of capacity planning, maintenance, engineering and facility design, customer service processes, and work and resource management.
It is this combination of values, principal characteristics and milestones that answers the question, "What is the Smart Grid?" Brief "sound bite" descriptions cannot do justice to this complex subject.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
It's really not that complicated.
If you permit, say, FILE_SHARE_READ,
then you're saying,
"I'm okay with other people reading this file while I have it open."
And if you leave off the flag, then you're saying,
"I do not want other people reading this file while I have it open."
Now all that's left to do is work out what that means.
So suppose you omit the flag, indicating that you don't want to let
others read the file.
Then when you attempt to open it yourself,
the open will fail if anybody else has the file open for reading.
And if the open succeeds, then the system will prevent anybody
else from opening the file for reading until you close your handle.
That's all.
Of course, if the file is already open, then a corresponding
check is made between your desired access and the file sharing
mode of the people who already opened it.
For example, if somebody already has the file open and denies
read sharing, then if you try to open for read, you will get a
sharing violation.
These restrictions are cumulative, of course.
If one person opens a file without FILE_SHARE_READ
and another person opens a file without FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
then attempts to open the file for read or for write will fail.
(The read fails because the first person didn't permit read,
and the write fails because the second person didn't permit write.)
Repeat the above logic for "delete" and "write" permission,
and that's it in a nutshell.
There is a
big nasty table in MSDN
that walks through all the combinations,
but I personally think it confuses the matter rather than clarifying.
Even more confusingly, the table uses "X" to mean that the
combination is permitted.
They should've used a bullet ("•") or a check mark
since an "X" has the connotation of "not allowed".
Let's look at one row of the table and see how the information in it
is "obvious": Say, the row that reads "GENERIC_READ / GENERIC_WRITE /
FILE_SHARE_READ". You are asking for read and write, and you permit read
(and implicitly deny write).
The requested access (read/write) requires that all previous openers
have granted both read and write. There are three columns that
correspond to this, namely the ones that say "FS_R FS_W".
The requested sharing mode (read only) requires that all previous
openers have requested read-only access. In other words, there can't
be any G_W entries. That rules out two of the columns, leaving just
"G_R FS_R FS_W", and indeed only one column is checked in the table.
Notice that the file share bits you pass
don't have to match up with your file access bits.
The file share bits indicate what you want to allow other people to do.
The access bits indicate what you want to do yourself.
There have been a few good articles about threading models,
one from Eric Lippert
another from Larry Osterman.
Go off and read them if you haven't already.
Remember that there are two types of scrollbars.
One is the standalone scrollbar control.
This one has its own window handle, and consequently
can be given focus and all those other fun things
you can do with window handles.
To manipulate them, pass the handle to the scrollbar
control to the appropriate scrollbar function
(SetScrollInfo, for example)
and pass SB_CTL as the nBar parameter to indicate that
you have a scrollbar control.
The other type is the horizontal or vertical scrollbar
(or both) attached to a window by virtue of having
the WS_HSCROLL and/or WS_VSCROLL style.
These are nonclient scrollbars and are not controls.
They are just decorations added to some other window.
You can't give them focus since they aren't windows
in their own right.
To manipulate them, pass the handle to the containing window
to the appropriate scrollbar function
and pass SB_HORZ or SB_VERT as the nBar parameter to indicate that
you want to manipulate the nonclient horizontal or vertical scrollbar.
I'm writing this down since some people seem to miss
the distinction between these two cases.
Social researchers dissect the interactions and unveil the
unwritten rules that govern
British pub etiquette.
Hereby incorporating by reference Junfeng Zhang's discussion of the Image File Execution Options registry key.
When should your C++ object's destructor be virtual?
First of all, what does it mean to have a virtual destructor?
Well, what does it mean to have a virtual method?
If a method is virtual, then calling the method on an object always invokes the method as implemented by the most heavily derived class. If the method is not virtual, then the implementation corresponding to the compile-time type of the object pointer.
For example, consider this:
class Sample {
void f();
virtual void vf();
class Derived : public Sample {
void f();
void vf();
void function()
Derived d;
Sample* p = &d;
The call to p->f() will result in a call to Sample::f because p is a pointer to a Sample. The actual object is of type Derived, but the pointer is merely a pointer to a Sample. The pointer type is used because f is not virtual.
On the other hand, the call to The call to p->vf() will result in a call to Derived::vf, the most heavily derived type, because vf is virtual.
Okay, you knew that.
Virtual destructors work exactly the same way. It's just that you rarely invoke the destructor explicitly. Rather, it's invoked when an automatic object goes out of scope or when you delete the object.
void function()
Sample* p = new Derived;
delete p;
Since Sample does not have a virtual destructor, the delete p invokes the destructor of the class of the pointer (Sample::~Sample()), rather than the destructor of the most derived type (Derived::~Derived()). And as you can see, this is the wrong thing to do in the above scenario.
delete p
Armed with this information, you can now answer the question.
A class must have a virtual destructor if it meets both of the following criteria:
Some people say that you need a virtual destructor if and only if you have a virtual method. This is wrong in both directions.
Example of a case where a class has no virtual methods but still needs a virtual destructor:
class Sample { };
class Derived : public Sample
CComPtr<IStream> m_p;
Derived() { CreateStreamOnHGlobal(NULL, TRUE, &m_p); }
Sample *p = new Derived;
delete p;
The delete p will invoke Sample::~Sample instead of Derived::~Derived, resulting in a leak of the stream m_p.
And here's an example of a case where a class has virtual methods but does not require a virtual destructor.
class Sample { public: virtual void vf(); }
class Derived : public Sample { public: virtual void vf(); }
Derived *p = new Derived;
delete p;
Since the object deletion occurs from the pointer type that matches the type of the actual object, the correct destructor will be invoked. This pattern happens often in COM objects, which expose several virtual methods corresponding to its interfaces, but where the object itself is destroyed by its own implementation and not from a base calss pointer. (Notice that no COM interfaces contain virtual destructors.)
The problem with knowing when to make your destructor virtual or not is that you have to know how people will be using your class. If C++ had a "sealed" keyword, then the rule would be simpler: If you do a "delete p" where p is a pointer to an unsealed class, then that class needs have a virtual destructor. (The imaginary "sealed" keyword makes it explicit when a class can act as the base class for another class.)
Batman and Robin have been spotted in Whitley,
providing valuable services like rescuing damsels in distress
(pushing her car to the nearest petrol station),
scaring away potential muggers, and even chasing
streakers off a football pitch.
If you read the fine print of the
InterlockedIncrement and
InterlockedDecrement functions,
you'll see that on Windows NT 3.51 and earlier and on Windows 95,
the return value only matches the sign of the result of the increment
or decrement.
Why is that?
The 80386 instruction set supports interlocked increment and
decrement, but the result of the increment/decrement operation
is not returned. Only the flags are updated by the operation.
As a result, the only information you get back from the CPU about
the result of the operation is whether it was zero, positive, or
negative. (Okay, you also get some obscure information like whether
there were an even or odd number of 1 bits in the result, but that's
hardly useful nowadays.)
Since those operating systems supported the 80386 processor,
their implementations of the InterlockedIncrement and
InterlockedDecrement functions were limited by the capabilities
of the processor.
The 80486 introduced
the XADD instruction
which returns the original value of the operand.
With this additional information, it now becomes possible to
return the result of the operation exactly.
Windows NT 4 dropped support for the 80386 processor, requiring
a minimum of an 80486, so it could take advantage of this instruction.
Windows 98 still had to support the 80386, so it couldn't.
So how did Windows 98 manage to implement an operation that was not
supported by the CPU?
Windows 98 detected whether you had a CPU that supported the new XADD
instruction. If not, then it used an alternate
mechanism which was mind-bogglingly slow:
It called a driver whenever you wanted to increment or decrement
a variable. The driver would then emulate the XADD instruction by
disabling interrupts and performing the operation in locked memory.
Since Windows 98 was a uniprocessor operating system, it didn't
have to worry about a second processor changing the memory at the
same time; all it needed to ensure was that the single processor
didn't get interrupted while it was performing the "atomic" operation.

BUTLER TWP. - State police at Hazleton said a man from Oklahoma was killed when he lost control of his vehicle on Interstate 80 Wednesday morning.
Michael Ray Mitchell, 34, of Tulsa, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Luzerne County Coroner's Office.
State police said Mitchell, driving a 2009 Honda Civic, was traveling east on Interstate 80 and drifted off the highway into the median striking two trees just before 6 a.m.
The coroner's office determined Mitchell died from multiple traumatic injuries. The cause of death was ruled accidental, state police said.
