Look after those SD cards
SD cards have become ubiquitous with digital cameras and microSD cards with smart phones. They are relatively cheap and generally robust. However they can be damaged and can very occasionally fail. My experience up till last week was that failure does happen but was very unlikely. I had one bad experience several years ago where a card came apart in my camera and jammed the card socket. With patients, a magnifying glass, a torch and the tweezers from a swiss army knife I did get all the pieces of plastic and gold foil contacts out of the card slot and no damaged was done. Luckily!
Another card last year just gave errors on two test photos when I loaded them. Picasa loaded in the photos ok but Lightroom reported corrupt RAW files. Surprising the paired jpegs were fine. At first I suspected the camera but I took some more photos using an older SD card and no problems. This was a cheaper brand card and I could see no obvious damage. I just reformatted the card in my camera, and it worked fine. But I did buy a replacement card the next day. It is serving out its retirement in a relative's photo frame and apparently enjoying life and behaving.
Two days in a row this week I had two cards develop problems with the little plastic slider on the side that provides write protection. I don't normally touch this slider. The first problem was I managed to push the slider up inside the card and on top the contacts. I felt the card being blocked when I inserted into into the card reader. I could read the photos the card stuck again as I tried to removed it from the reader. I carefully applied more pressure and the card came out. Close inspection showed the slider had moved and was jammed (see picture above). The SD was immediately thrown out. Unfortunately the next day, same camera another same brand SD card, read the photos ok but when I put it back in the camera it reported the write protection lock was on and when I checked the card the write protect tab was missing. I carefully checked both the camera slot and card reader but that little bit of plastic was totally missing. Another card for the bin. Three new cards from a different manufacturer purchased.
By this stage I was worried either the camera or the card reader was damaging the cards. So an intensive investigation of cards and cameras and card readers followed, including testing the write protection sliders. No problems found and I breathed a long sigh of relief.
So What might have causes the failures?
Then I realised I had changed how I was using the cards on my recent trips. I was using a new card each day and not clearing it off. After being loaded I would put it back in an elasticized pocket in the camera bag. There were only three such pockets and six cards so there was doubling up and I remember a few cards slipped out and floated around in a mesh compartment which also house a few other accessories. I now suspect that is where the little plastic slide switches got damaged.
So I have gone back to my old practice of re-using the same card in the same camera and clearing off the photos after they are loaded. Only a singe SD card is stored in each pocket, as spares in the field. Any other spare cards are kept in those older little slide boxes, that SD cards used to come in before that where just bubble packed. They are robust but kept back at base with my backup USB drive, not floating around in my camera bag.
Before I try the rotating card process again I'm need to find a suitable protective wallet for the cards and take better care of them.

Introducing another Mistressess
My photo software harem keeps expanding, despite all the advice to choose just one package, This monogamy is actually good advice because the major packages do have their own little foibles, and cross incompatibility, or just straight out refusing to play nicely with each other. What seems even worse is it is yet another bit of well loved software that google are abandoning. My latest addition, and she is an angel, is Nik's software add-ins for such programs as lightroom and Adobe photoshots elements. With the re-instatement of lightroom on my HP spectre. mainly because she is behaving and is now fast, I am finding these wonderful little tools easy to evoke and bringing a little more welcome power when I am post processing RAW files.
The black and white conversion of Nik's Silver Effect Pro is really well loved and many keen black and white devotes have long sung its praises. However it is the colour tools I am learning to love, The reproduction of old film formats can be easily set up with Analog Efex Pro, The slide film effects work in the gorgeous colours that well exposed slides could reproduce much better than any lightroom presets I have seen. The real jewel for me is Viveza, which brings advanced color control. One of the magical tools shared across the modules is control points. which is almost like a mixture of layers and luminosity masks, only it is a method of local selection of those parts of the photo with similar tone, texture and colour, once selected all the sliders from the module can be individually changed. My preference is to use this feature sparingly and it is at its most beautiful when adjusting just one colour as the center of interest or to highlight a subject. The other bit of magic is the slider called structure. It will take an entire image or just a control point selection from highly detailed to very smoothed. Its a little like the clarity slider in lightroom on steroids and across all tones not just the mid-tones. I actually prefer the dynamic contrast filter in OnOne effects because that can be separated in short, mid and long ranges textures. Like colour in Viveza this also works best when only bring in extra detail to a few carefully selected control points,
Google are now offering the entire NIK suite for free download. If you don't already have them and have lightroom (or photoshop elements) and process RAW files then definitely go and get the free downloads. If nothing else just learn to use control points and fall in love with the structure slider, I'm sure you will find this collection of angels brings some beauty and inspiration back into your post processing.
PS She is well behaved.

Yet another Google favourite stumbles
It seems to have been at least two week since the last dissapointment with google. perhaps a recent record (actaully it was only 7 days I had to turn off the thumbnails in popular post on thr righthamd column of this blog) Ok it just seemed longer. Today I am woking in my studio which does use an old computer which is still running vista (and running a little slow but doesn't give me the heartaches of the theoretically upgaded windows 10 machines). Its slow and stately, never misbehaves and fine for what I need.
However today I got the message that google will not be supporting chrome on Vista. This is a pity because using chrome across a range of computers and opeating systems was nice. What do I expect for free, obviously the confidence I once had in google is now almost none.
My only solution is to keep using the software tools google once brilliantly championed but now has lost interest in and hope there as no legacy, compatibilty or upgrade consequences to come.

My First 3D Picture
I do like trying out new things, and since my new computer comes with an Intel "Real Sense" 3D camera I though I should try it out. Trouble is the Camera app that comes with Windows 10 is not 3D aware. A little looking around and I found itSeez3D, which can make 3D scans of people (it must start by recognize a face). Most importantly there was a Windows 10 app that recognises the Intel real sense, that I could download. There is also an IOS app (for iPads with R200 cameras)
The standard windows app is free, but there is also a business version (for commercial use). However the only interesting extra feature I saw was being able to print your 3D models. Unfortunately I see being able to make small 3D plastic "selfies" as a toy application rather than something I would need at the moment. You can do the 3D render locally on the tablet, this took me less than a minute but was pretty crude or once you have an account with itSeez3D (Simple enough but it took a while and a verification email step), you can upload to the cloud (that took a few minutes) and have a much more detail (final) model produced on the cloud (I had to wait about 10 minutes). The result was really impressive you can interactively rotate and scale your 3D photo/model on the screen. For me the next step is figuring out how I can use the 3D models to create unique art. That's going to take some time, which I have, but I do like the potential of technology and will be looking for a way to scan non humanoid objects soon and perhaps then make some virtually amazing sculptures.
I then went looking for a way to embed a 3D viewer in this blog posts.Try out Sketchfab below, click on the 3D arrow to manipulate the image. Unfortunately the 3D view highlights a couple of places I didn't get adequate coverage. However for a first attempt I'm pleased.

Are we really Shadowless?
Today I visited a new exhibition at mga on Australian Exotica, which presents the views some contemporary Australian photographers that is a different and erotic place. On the way back to the car park I walked the path on the right below and loved the shadows. However compare that with the photo of typical open forest (below left) I had taken earlier a short distance away. Different style of shadows but not really exotica.
"The trees [in NSW] nearly all belong to one family, and mostly have their leaves placed in a vertical, instead of as in Europe, in a nearly horizontal position: the foliage is scanty, and of a peculiar pale green tint, without any gloss. Hence the woods appear light and shadowless: this, although a loss of comfort to the traveller under the scorching rays of summer…"

Defending the stars in Central Otago
Night-sky pollution concernsJO MCKENZIE-MCLEAN
Relevant offers
Stricter rules may be introduced to protect Central Otago's starry nights from sky pollution.
The Central Otago District Council plans to consider the ongoing issue of night-sky pollution as part of its district plan review process this year.
The council has received complaints from concerned members of the public about protecting the night-sky with continued subdivisions spreading into rural areas.
Councillor and Central Otago Astronomical Society member Barrie Wills said Central Otago's night sky was a big asset for the region and could gain reserve status ''down the line''.
''With the Tekapo situation, it would be nice to see Central Otago included under the same umbrella. At the moment it just includes that immediate area up over the Mackenzie Basin. There is no reason it could not be extended to Central Otago ''down the line''.
The region's night-sky presented tourism opportunities, particularly with trail-bike riders, he said.
''If we can get the overflow from people from Tekapo coming here, I think there are tourism opportunities. It is a drawcard - an international one. We can probably get a bit of leverage from that status if we played our cards right.
''We have got our district plan up for review next year it's probably something we should be thinking of. Maybe we need to put some bylaws in place that help to at least maintain the situation if not improve it.''
Councillor and Cromwell Community Board chairman Neil Gillespie said they had received complaints from residents concerned about night-sky pollution due to subdivision in rural areas, as well the impact of new lighting being installed at the Alpha St reserve.
''It is always going to be problematic. I am sure it's something we will be asked to improve on as we go forward.''
There were provisions in the current district plan but whether that was still appropriate or should it be more stringent would have to be considered, he said.

I have several Iranian Jewish classmates as a Zoroastrian religious minority of Iran. They have not only synagogues but kosher food stores and restaurants that you can look them up on Wikipedia or watch the related videos on Youtube. Guess what? You can find the old holy Judaic scriptures in those synagogues and their number is way more than the ones you can find in Israel!

France to cut troops level in Mali
Zeenews Bureau
Paris: French President Francois Hollande has announced to reduce the present troops level in Mali by the end of this year.
Reports, Friday, said that the French government has decided the bring the troops level down from present 4,000 French soldiers, fighting Islamist rebels in Mali, to 1,000 by the end of the year.
"We will start withdrawing at the end of April. In July, there will be no more than 2,000 soldiers in Mali. At the end of the year, there will only be 1,000 troops, "French President said in an interview with France 2 television.
France, which is leading a military intervention to secure northern Mali from al-Qaeda-linked rebels, is eager to withdraw and hand over to an African force known as AFISMA that would be transformed into a UN peacekeeping mission.
It has called for the 15-member UN Security Council to pass a resolution in April setting up the peacekeeping force, which could be in place by July.
AFISMA currently counts around 6,300 soldiers from west African countries and Chad.
The French leader also said that his country is looking forward to elections in Mali by July, adding that Paris was inflexible on this.

Miles Ahead is a wildly entertaining and moving exploration of one of 20th century music's creative geniuses, Miles Davis, featuring a career-defining performance by Don Cheadle (Hotel Rwanda, Crash) in the title role. In the midst of a dazzling and prolific career at the forefront of modern jazz innovation, Davis virtually disappears from public view for a period of five years in the late 1970s. Alone and holed up in his home, he is beset by chronic pain from a deteriorating hip, his musical voice stifled and numbed by drugs and pain medications. When a wily music reporter, (Ewan McGregor) forces his way into Davis' house, the two men unwittingly embark on a wild and sometimes harrowing adventure to recover a stolen tape of the musician's latest compositions. Davis' mercurial behavior is fueled by memories of his failed marriage to the talented and beautiful dancer Frances Taylor (Emayatzy Corinealdi). Working from a script he co-wrote with Steven Baigelman, Cheadle's bravura directorial debut is not a conventional biopic but rather a unique, no-holds barred portrait of a singular artist in crisis.

Reed Saxon, ASSOCIATED PRESS
SALT LAKE CITY — Utah lawmakers overwhelmingly passed a bill that establishes a public service commission to facilitate the transition to natural gas in Utah.
SB275, sponsored by Sen. Stuart Adams, R-Layton, directs the commission to conduct a study looking at how to allow gas corporations to build and maintain gas stations that cater to natural gas vehicles.
The bill was amended to require the commission to report to Legislature and the governor by Sept. 30. The amendment's deadline, Adams said, ensures that funding requirements will be determined by that specific date.
Sen. Scott Jenkins, R-Plain City, voiced his concern about funding, asking if it will affect gas rates.
Adams said there may be as much as $30 million available in a conservation fund that could be used to curb rising rates.
"To prejudge this assessment as a rate increase, I think, is premature right now," Adams said. "(The commission) will determine where those funds come from."
Sen. Pat Jones, D-Holladay, said she appreciated the introduction of the bill and even if rates do go up, having cleaner air makes would be worth the cost.

Tinsley had one good play all night! He, Foye, Watson, Mo, and Jefferson played horrible defense. The Jazz need a point guard quick. Every time Tinsley shoots the ball it reminds me of the Shaq shooting a foul shot.

OMAHA, Neb. Warren Buffett said on Saturday that Berkshire Hathaway Inc is poised to do well no matter who wins the White House in November, and the billionaire investor defended the performance and tactics of the conglomerate's several large investments.Buffett presided over his 51st Berkshire annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska, where he and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger fielded five hours of questions on such matters as Coca-Cola's sugary drinks, lower shipping volumes on the BNSF railroad, risks from derivatives, and who might succeed Buffett as chief executive.Buffett, a staunch supporter of Democrat Hillary Clinton for president, was asked about the regulatory impact on Berkshire if Republican front-runner Donald Trump wins the 2016 U.S. presidential election."That won't be the main problem," he said to audience laughter. "If either Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton becomes president, and one of them is very likely to be, I think Berkshire will continue to do fine."Because the meeting fell early this year, Berkshire also released only preliminary first-quarter results rather than full results, which will come out on May 6.Berkshire said net income probably rose 8 percent, helped by a gain from the swap of Procter & Gamble Co stock for the Duracell battery business.Operating profit probably fell 12 percent, however. Buffett said BNSF was hurt by declining oil prices and coal shipments, while hailstorms caused losses in Berkshire insurance units."Railroad carloading throughout the industry - all of the major railroads - were down significantly in the first quarter, and probably almost certainly will continue to be down for the balance of the year," Buffett said.Berkshire owns close to 90 businesses in energy, insurance, manufacturing, railroad, retail and other sectors, and invests well over $100 billion in stocks. COKE IS STILL IT The meeting filled a downtown arena and overflow rooms, and shareholders could buy products made by Berkshire units at deep discounts in an exhibit hall.Buffett suggested that 40,000 people may have shown up for his "Woodstock for Capitalists," close to last year's record, though the meeting was streamed online for the first time.At the meeting, Buffett and Munger fielded dozens of questions from shareholders, analysts and journalists. A shareholder proposal for more disclosures on the risks to Berkshire on climate change was overwhelmingly rejected.Buffett parried concerns raised by a shareholder, and previously by hedge fund manager William Ackman, that Berkshire promotes bad health through its roughly 9-percent stake in Coca-Cola Co.Buffett, who consumes 700 calories of Coke a day, said it seemed wrong to blame calories alone for rising obesity levels."I elect to get my 2,600 or 2,700 calories a day from thingsthat me feel good when I eat them," he said, including the Cherry Coke and See's peanut brittle he consumed during the meeting. "That's my sole test." Buffett also renewed his defense of Brazilian private equity firm 3G Capital, which with Berkshire has a controlling stake in food company Kraft Heinz Co, where it has built on its reputation as a ruthless cost-cutter.Berkshire is seen as a friendlier owner, but Buffett said 3G's cuts have been "extremely intelligent," and did not appear a threat to Kraft Heinz's ability to produce packaged goods.Buffett also defended efforts of Berkshire's NV Energy unit to persuade Nevada regulators to reduce subsidies for homeowners there who use solar power, prompting Elon Musk's SolarCity Corp to say it would cease activity there."Ninety-nine percent of our consumers were being asked to subsidize the one percent that had solar units," Buffett said. "I personally think that if society is the one that's benefiting from the reduction of greenhouse gasses, that society should pick up the tab."Buffett also emphasized his worry that derivatives could cause major risks for most of the world's largest banks if markets were disrupted."It is still a potential time bomb," he said, but added that he was "not in the least troubled" by Berkshire's big stakes in Wells Fargo & Co and Bank of America Corp. Buffett also said Geico has been hurt because falling oil prices led to more driving, more accidents and more loss claims, but said he did not "necessarily see the same trends this year."He also said there are no "tea leaves" in the recent announcement that the next chief of the General Re reinsurance unit will report to Buffett's insurance lieutenant Ajit Jain, not to Buffett. Some investors believe Jain is a top candidate to succeed Buffett as Berkshire's chief executive.EARLY WAKE-UPBuffett also said Mark Donegan, chief executive of Precision Castparts, which Berkshire bought in January for $32 billion, may now fare even better now that his company has the support from Berkshire's deep well of capital."I would almost rank Mark as one of a kind," Buffett said, before joking: "If he needs capital, he's got my 800 number."Shareholders at the meeting included hundreds who waited hours in a rainstorm before doors opened at 6:20 a.m., 40 minutes early."I wanted to make sure I got a good seat," said Kim Baumler, an office manager for a wealth management company from Fargo, North Dakota, who said she was at the head of the line at 10:30 p.m. Friday night. "My boss is a huge Warren Buffett follower, and I got hooked. I wanted to see what it was all about."Mark Hughes, a money manager from Ashton, Maryland attending his 25th meeting, said he sees no sign Buffett and Munger are winding down."They're 85 and 92, and look as good as they ever did," he said.

Anti-Trump protests break out for second day in California
BURLINGAME, Calif. Protests erupted in California for the second day in a row on Friday against U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump, who is moving closer to winning the Republican nomination after a string of victories this week. The billionaire businessman was forced to halt his motorcade and go through a back entrance to a hotel to give a speech to the California Republican convention and avoid several hundred loud protesters gathered outside."That was not the easiest entrance I've ever made," Trump told the gathering in Burlingame, south of San Francisco, after weaving around a barrier and clambering across a road to get to the venue. "It felt like I was crossing the border actually."Demonstrators, some of whom held Mexican national flags, at one point rushed security gates at the hotel and police officers had their batons out. The mogul had already drawn protests in California, with chaotic scenes on Thursday outside a Trump rally in Costa Mesa. Anti-Trump protesters smashed the window of a police car and blocked traffic. Some 20 people were arrested.Protests have become common outside rallies for Trump who has earned ardent critics, as well as support from Republican voters, for his rhetoric against illegal immigration. His campaign abandoned a rally in Chicago last month after clashes between his supporters and protesters. He has accused Mexico of sending drug dealers and rapists across the U.S. border and has promised to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.Trump, who described himself this week as the party's presumptive nominee, would take a large stride toward knocking his Republican rivals out of the presidential race if he wins the Indiana primary next week. On Friday, he said he is approaching the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the nomination.Trump, who has run as a political outsider and only recently started making inroads with the Republican establishment, called for the party to band together behind him. But said he could win the White House without them if needed. "There should be and there has to be unity. Now with that being said, would I win, can I win without it? I think so, to be honest," Trump told the convention. His speech drew applause, though not the fervent reception of his usual campaign rallies.INDIANA FIGHT Trump's main rival, Senator Ted Cruz, on Friday picked up the backing of Governor Mike Pence of Indiana in a rearguard battle to damage Trump's chances. "I'm not against anybody, but I will be voting for Ted Cruz in the upcoming Republican primary," Pence said on an Indiana radio show. Cruz, from Texas, is trailing the former reality TV star in the Midwestern state after losing to him by a wide margin in all five Northeastern states that held nominating contests on Tuesday. A CBS poll earlier this week found Trump with about 40 percent of support in Indiana, compared to 35 percent for Cruz. The poll had a margin of error of 6.6 points. Other polls have also shown Trump ahead. The Republican front-runner was in California ahead of its June 7 primary, when the most convention delegates of the Republican nominating cycle will be at stake. After his speech, Trump made a similarly unconventional exit out of the hotel via the back door.Cheryl McDonald, 71, of Discovery Bay, said she had to pass through protesters to get inside the hotel."They were yelling. I think the only words they know in the dictionary are profanities," said McDonald, who said she is a Trump supporter.Ohio Governor John Kasich, a distant third in the race for the party's nomination, distanced himself from what he said was a divisive campaign that preyed on voters' fears."I'm worried about a divided, polarized country," Kasich said. "It doesn't have to be that way."

Trump's 'America first' speech alarms U.S. allies
LONDON Donald Trump's first major foreign policy address alarmed American allies, who view the Republican front runner's repeated invocation of an "America first" agenda as a threat to retreat from the world.While most governments were careful not to comment publicly on a speech by a U.S. presidential candidate, Germany's foreign minister veered from that protocol to express concern at Trump's wording."I can only hope that the election campaign in the USA does not lack the perception of reality," Frank-Walter Steinmeier said."The world's security architecture has changed and it is no longer based on two pillars alone. It cannot be conducted unilaterally," he said of foreign policy in a post-Cold War world. "No American president can get round this change in the international security architecture.... 'America first' is actually no answer to that."Carl Bildt, a former Swedish prime minister and foreign minister who served as UN envoy to the Balkans in the aftermath of the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, said he heard Trump's speech as "abandoning both democratic allies and democratic values"."Trump had not a word against Russian aggression in Ukraine, but plenty against past U.S. support for democracy in Egypt," Bildt said on Twitter, referring to lines from Trump's speech that criticized the Barack Obama administration for withdrawing support for autocrat Hosni Mubarak during a 2011 uprising."FIRST ISOLATIONIST CANDIDATE"Trump's speech, uncharacteristically read out from a teleprompter, seemed aimed at showing a more serious side of a politician who has said he intends to act more "presidential" after months of speaking mainly off the cuff.He promised "a disciplined, deliberate and consistent foreign policy" in contrast to the "reckless, rudderless and aimless" policies of Obama and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Trump's likely Democratic opponent if he secures the Republican nomination.The speech included no dramatic new policy proposals that might generate headlines, such as his past calls to bar Muslims from entering the United States or to build a wall on the frontier with Mexico.Where he was specific, like rejecting the terms of last year's nuclear deal with Iran, calling for more investment in missile defense in Europe and accusing the Obama administration of tepid support for Israel, he was firmly within the Republican mainstream. A major theme -- that more NATO allies should spend at least 2 percent of their economic output on defense -- is one that has also been taken up by the Obama administration itself, including repeatedly during the president's visit to Europe last week.Nevertheless, Trump's rhetoric raised alarm in allied countries that still rely on the superpower for defense, particularly the phrase "America first", used in the 1930s by isolationists that sought to keep the United States out of World War Two.Former South Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Sung-han, who now teaches at the Korea University in Seoul, said Trump would be "the first isolationist to be U.S. presidential candidate, while in the post-war era all the U.S. presidents have been to varying degrees internationalists.""Saying the U.S. will no longer engage in anything that is a burden in terms of its relationships with allies, it would be almost like abandoning those alliances," he said. "It will inevitably give rise to anti-American sentiment worldwide."Xenia Wickett, head of the U.S. and Americas Programme at Britain's Chatham House think tank, said the speech "suggests Trump would make America's allies less secure rather than more."He talked about allies being confident but all of his rhetoric suggested that America should be unpredictable and that America's allies needed to stand up for themselves." "DISASTER"Earlier in the U.S. nomination process, foreign leaders were not shy to condemn Trump openly and publicly.In December, when Trump called for his temporary ban on admitting Muslims, British Prime Minister David Cameron called him "divisive, stupid and wrong". Hundreds of thousands of Britons signed a petition calling for Trump to be banned from Britain for hate speech, which was taken up in parliament. Cameron declined to ban Trump, but said: "If he came to visit our country, I think he would unite us against him."In January, German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel lumped Trump together with the leaders of European far-right parties as "not only a threat to peace and social cohesion, but also to economic development".These days, with Trump now seen as likely to win his party's nomination, European officials are more circumspect in public, but sound no less alarmed in private. A Trump presidency "would be a disaster for EU-U.S. ties," said one senior EU official involved in shaping foreign policy in Brussels."Right now, we and the Obama administration generally understand each other. I don't think we understand Donald Trump. He has no understanding of the delicate, complex nature of foreign policy on Europe's doorstep."Nevertheless, some of the policies Trump shares with other Republicans do have sympathetic audiences abroad.Ryszard Terlecki, head of the parliamentary group of Poland's ruling rightwing Law and Justice party, said Trump had a point when criticizing the Obama administration for backing away from plans for increased missile defense."This decision influenced very badly the security of this part of Europe. If it weren't for that, the conflict in Ukraine would not escalate," he told Reuters.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has strongly opposed the Obama administration's deal with Iran, and Trump's speech, like an earlier one to a pro-Israel lobby group in Washington, went down well with some right-leaning Israelis."Trump wants an America that is decent, strong, loyal - but also no patsy. And he sees in Israel the most loyal ally of the U.S." wrote Boaz Bismuth, diplomatic correspondent for the pro-Netanyahu daily Israel Hayom.In the Arab world, where governments and their citizens are also alarmed at the rise of non-Arab Iran, Trump's strong rejection of the deal with Tehran is a popular position that would have been embraced if expressed by another candidate.But Trump's previous call to ban Muslims from the United States has made him anathema in the region. Emirati political analyst Abdulkhaleq Abdullah said no speech would be enough to salvage his reputation there: "He's a racist and a chauvinist who will never be widely welcomed in the Arab world."Or, as Kuwaiti twitter user Mohammed al-Ammar wrote: "Some of his speech is correct and logical, but the problem is, he's still #Trump."

Wall St. pulls back from record; utilities slump
NEW YORK U.S. stocks fell on Tuesday as investors engaged in profit-taking to pull major indexes from record levels, while the trend of modest moves and low volume continued heading into the final trading day of the year.The day's losses were broad, with each of the ten primary S&P 500 sectors in negative territory. Utilities .SPLRCU - 2014's best sector performer - led the decline with a drop of 2.1 percent. Equities have enjoyed a solid rally of late, buoyed by strong economic data and the U.S. Federal Reserve's commitment to be "patient" about raising interest rates. The S&P 500 gained nearly 6 percent over the prior eight sessions and managed to score its 53rd record close of the year on Monday.The speed and scale of the rally provided incentive to take profits, and amplified volatility is possible this week with many market participants out for the holiday, which dampens volume. The stock market will be closed on Thursday for the New Year's holiday."It wasn't going to take much to prompt the decline, it's probably more resting than anything else. We've had a pretty significant move higher," said Stephen Massocca, managing director at Wedbush Equity Management LLC in San Francisco. "We've marched straight up from 1,970 or so to about 2,100 so it's only natural that we are going to get a little bit of a pullback here."The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI fell 55.16 points, or 0.31 percent, to 17,983.07, the S&P 500 .SPX lost 10.22 points, or 0.49 percent, to 2,080.35 and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC dropped 29.47 points, or 0.61 percent, to 4,777.44.In the latest economic data, consumer confidence rose slightly less than expected in December, while U.S. single-family home price appreciation slowed less than forecast in October. NeuroDerm Ltd (NDRM.O) soared more than 193 percent to $18.14 on heavy volume after it said data from a mid-stage study suggested that a higher dose of its Parkinson's drug could provide an alternative to treatments that require surgery. Civeo Corp (CVEO.N), which provides temporary housing for oilfield workers and miners, late Monday slashed its workforce and forecast revenue could fall by one-third as slumping crude prices force oil producers to cut costs. The stock plunged 52.6 percent to $3.92 on volume of about 56.2 million shares, the most active day in its history. Volume was light, with about 4.42 billion shares traded on U.S. exchanges, well below the 7.06 billion average so far this month, according to data from BATS Global Markets.Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by 1,806 to 1,262, for a 1.43-to-1 ratio; on the Nasdaq, 1,671 issues fell and 1,031 advanced for a 1.62-to-1 ratio favoring decliners.The benchmark S&P 500 posted 25 new 52-week highs and 6 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded 107 new highs and 39 new lows.

Big wins by Trump, Clinton give rivals little breathing room
INDIANAPOLIS Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton rolled up wins in Northeastern states on Tuesday in a major show of strength and immediately turned their fire on each other in a possible preview of a general election matchup.The New York billionaire easily defeated rivals John Kasich and Ted Cruz in all five states that held contests, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware, with a margin of victory rivaling that of his home state of New York a week ago. He was on a path to winning the vote in every county in each state.Clinton, already in control of the Democratic race, defeated challenger Bernie Sanders in Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. Her only loss of the night was to Sanders in Rhode Island.The race now pivots immediately to Indiana, which is shaping up to be Cruz's best, and perhaps last, chance to slow Trump's momentum toward the Republican nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election to succeed Democratic President Barack Obama.If Cruz, a U.S. senator from Texas, can win a large share of the state's 57 delegates on May 3, it will boost the chances that Trump will not be able to amass the 1,237 delegates he needs to clinch the nomination before the party's convention in July. That could give Cruz a shot at convincing delegates to back him for president instead. A loss to Trump in Indiana would effectively cripple Cruz's already faltering bid, and increase pressure on the party to rally around Trump as the prospective nominee. Katie Packer, head of the anti-Trump political-action committee Our Principles, said her organization would be active in the state with "TV, mail, phones, digital, all of it.""We're going to be playing in a lot of different congressional districts," Packer said. The Club for Growth, a conservative pro-business group, has bought $1.5 million worth of anti-Trump TV ads in the state. Both groups worked to hand Trump a defeat at the hands of Cruz earlier this month in Wisconsin. "Tonight, this campaign moves back to more favorable terrain," Cruz said in Knightstown, Indiana on Tuesday.'DEAL ME IN'Back on the East Coast, Trump and Clinton used victory rallies to snipe at each other in the kind of back and forth that will take place should they win their party's presidential nominations and face off in the general election campaign."I think she's a flawed candidate and she's going to be easy to beat," Trump told a news conference at New York's Trump Tower. Trump, who is to give a foreign policy speech in Washington on Wednesday, criticized Clinton's record as secretary of state and her vote as a U.S. senator from New York in support of the Iraq war. He said her only advantage was as a woman seeking to become the first female U.S. president."Frankly if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote," he said.Clinton, in a victory speech in Philadelphia, took aim at Trump for accusing her of trying to "play the woman card.""Well if fighting for women's healthcare and paid family leave and equal pay is playing the woman card, then deal me in," she said to cheers.Of 118 committed delegates available on Tuesday, the Associated Press said Trump took 105, raising his total delegates to 950. Kasich, the Ohio governor, won five, all from Rhode Island, and Cruz one, with seven delegates still to be assigned. Pennsylvania's 54 unbound delegates will become clearer later. Projecting confidence, Trump said it was time for Cruz and Kasich to get out of the race so the party can unify behind him. He also urged Sanders' voters to support him."I consider myself the presumptive nominee," he said, adding later: "As far as I'm concerned, this thing is over."Clinton's strong showing in the Democratic race added to the pressure on Sanders to get out of the race or ease his criticism of her.In her speech, Clinton gave a nod to Sanders and spoke of the need for party unity."Whether you support Senator Sanders or you support me, there is much more that unites us than divides us," she said.Clinton's victories on Tuesday gave her 2,141 delegates, according to the AP, pushing her closer to the 2,383 needed for the nomination. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid told reporters earlier on Tuesday he did not think Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, had a realistic path to winning the nomination.Sanders, in a speech in Huntington, West Virginia, and a subsequent statement, showed no signs of getting out of the race. He is expected to campaign in Indiana."The people in every state in this country should have the right to determine who they want as president and what the agenda of the Democratic Party should be. That's why we are in this race until the last vote is cast," he said in his statement.

"Gapless Playback for Apple iPod" online petition
iPod user Michael Barca has started a "Gapless Playback for Apple iPod" online petition. Gapless playback has been heavily discussed within our own forums and Michael hopes that Apple will take notice. Gapless playback is the playback of long songs or DJ mixes in a continuous stream without audible gaps.
"We, the undersigned, are requesting that gapless playback be integrated into the iPod via a firmware upgrade in the near future.
We want to show you, Apple, that there exists a large amount of iPod owners and possible future iPod owners, who desperately want this to be supported in iPod.
Perhaps you don't realize how important this is to iPod owners, but by this petition we hope to show you how essential this feature is to any digital audio player."

text: Administration More Multiemployer Pension Plans Fall Out of Green Zone May 21, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Results of Segal's latest zone-status survey of multiemployer pension plans show that they are still facing formidable funding challenges. By Rebecca Moore email@example.com | May 21, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article Although multiemployer plans experienced generally strong market performance in late 2009 and 2010, overall investment performance was relatively poor in 2011 because of continued market volatility. Consequently, the investment losses of 2008 and early 2009, in conjunction with the lackluster 2011 investment results, had an impact on most plans. The proportion of calendar-year multiemployer pension plans in the green zone declined by four percentage points between January 1, 2011, and January 1, 2012: from 66% to 62%. The survey shows that the average Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA'06) funded percentage for those plans decreased by three percentage points over that period: from 89% to 86%. Prior to the market downturn that began in late 2008, more than three-quarters of calendar-year plans (83%) were in the green zone and the average funded percentage was 97%. In the prior year's survey, only 3% of the plans that were certified as green were projected to migrate into the yellow or red zone. Unfortunately, the plans' projected zone status has deteriorated somewhat since then. Data from this year's survey indicates that, over the next few years, 13% of the plans that were certified as green are projected to migrate into the yellow or red zone.

I have two SQL Server tables with Primary Keys (PK) and a Foreign Key (FK) linking the two tables:
1) Table "Order"
OrderID, int, PK
AddressID, int, FK
2) Table "Address"
AddressID, int, PK
City, nvarchar(50)
Then I've created an (ADO.NET) Entity Data Model out of those two tables. Now on my (ASP.NET) webpage I put a GridView with an EntityDataSource. In my GridView I want to display two columns:
- OrderID
- City (belonging to that order and linked by the AddressID-key)
How can I do that? My problem is: When I configure the Entity Data Source I can select an "EntitySetName" which can be either "Order" or "Address" but not both, nor can I select any kind of relationship. If I select "Order" as EntitySetName then in the GridView I can add the columns
- OrderID
- Address
- Address.AddressID
Adding the column "Address" displays empty cells. Adding "OrderID" and "Address.AddressID" displays the expected IDs. But how can I add the "City" of the related address to my GridView?
Thank you for help in advance!
Edit: Clarification:
The Entity Framework has created a class "Order" and a class "Address" corresponding to the database tables. The class "Order" has a reference to an "Address" object as a navigation property, corresponding to the 1-n relationship between Address and Order table.
Basically I want to have a column in my GridView which displays Order.Address.City. I have tried to add a bound field with "Address.City" as data field to the GridView but it results in a runtime error ("no such property...").

The Most Incredible Thing
- Record Label: Astralwerks
- Release Date: Mar 14, 2011
- Summary: This is the soundtrack for the ballet based on a Hans Christian Anderson story.
- Record Label: Astralwerks
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Stage & Screen, Punk/New Wave, Synth Pop, Cast Recordings, Musical Theater
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 7
Mixed: 4 out of 7
Negative: 0 out of 7
Apr 6, 2011Despite being further from their comfort zone, this second foray into theatrical composition, a ballet based around a Hans Christian Anderson parable, is vastly more adept, involving the deft interweaving of electropop and orchestral elements within a series of impressionistic tableaux sketching out the theme of conflict between creativity and destruction.
Apr 6, 2011It doubtlessly works better as a full performance, but as a stand-alone soundtrack has wonderful moments nonetheless.
May 2, 2011It's doubtful that anyone will be humming the themes of The Most Incredible Thing in the future the way people can hum The Nutcracker today. But Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe sure do know their stuff.
Q MagazineApr 6, 2011Though consistently strong, in the absence of dancers or plot it's hard to make sense of this subtle album's jolting transitions between subtle mood pieces and bombastic orchestral techno. [Apr 2011, p.106]
Apr 6, 2011For the tale is only partially told here - which, when you compare The Most Incredible Thing perhaps unfavourably to the great ballets of the 19th or 20th centuries, is the one thing most obviously lacking. For now we should admire the abilities of Tennant and Lowe to move from structures of four minutes to those of an hour and a half, and hope this encourages them to continue in a form in which they have made a very listenable start.
Apr 6, 2011Even more problematic is that the music, while ambitious and appropriately dramatic, hardly approaches standalone greatness. The Most Incredible Thing needs Javier De Frutos' choreography to do justice to the story.
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 1
Mixed: 0 out of 1
Negative: 0 out of 1
