Hi everyone,
I posted a while back about reading in a sparse matrix but I'm having some real trouble with reading in text input.
My plan in case the file was not standardised was to read in a line at a time, then split that line down into elements based on a set of delimiters (probably "," and "\n")
My program keeps segfaulting and it's driving me mad - I think I know where but not why
All i want to do is is be able to print an element so i know the function is working as intended but it keeps crashing. My ultimate goal will be to have a list of delimiters which i can use like strtok(linebuffer,delims)Code:int fileopen(char *argv) { FILE *file = fopen( argv, "r" ); //Open textfile with name given as an argument (argv) in read-only mode. fopen returns 0 on failure if (file == 0) { fprintf(stderr,"Error in opening file: %s \n",argv); return(0); } else { int dimensionRow, dimensionCol; int row, col, val; // Location and value to populate int lineno = 0; // lineno in textfile; char linebuffer[50]; char *element = NULL; while (fgets(linebuffer, sizeof(linebuffer), file) != NULL) { element = strtok(linebuffer, ","); while (element != NULL ) { printf("%s",element); element = strtok(NULL, ","); } }
When i run it through gdb it crashed on the print statement.
linebuffer seems to be filled as expected but if i type
"print element"
i get : $12 = 0xffffffffffffe1c0 <Address 0xffffffffffffe1c0 out of bounds>
then if i type "step" is segfaults. So I think I must not be using strtok correctly but I'm really stuck.
I've literally spent my entire day playing around with file input/output functions and I've read countless guides and snippets of code and I'm sure it's something silly but I'm at my wits end.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
P.s. Currently the textfile i'm reading in looks like this as a test: 5,7,23,42,1,2,5,2

12 Days Darwin to Broome, revised (without Mitchell Falls)
Here is an updated draft of my planned 12 day itinerary from Darwin to Broome. I took your advice and excluded Mitchell Falls from the list of things to see. (Obviously this and Cape Leveque will have to be done another time.)
This seems to leave me with a day or two to spare. This is a good thing as it means we shouldn't have to rush the bare minimum of things we would like to see. Especially as I think the start of the trip could be a taken a bit slower and it also might allow some extra time at the Bungle Bungles, which I consider to be one of the main reasons for doing this trip.
I have listed Geikie Gorge on the itinerary. However, after your advice, I have only left it on just in case we do still have some time.
I hope you can cast your eye over the updated itinerary. At this stage I only have two questions:
1) Will Bell Gorge, Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek be too much to do in one day? Though with the extra day or so I have up my sleeve, I thought an option could be to do Tunnel Creek the following morning. However, is it better to do Tunnel Creek in the morning or afternoon? (All right, so that is two questions already.)
2) I have done very little research on Wyndham and Derby. Is it worth a stop at either of these two towns?
- Day 1: Tuesday, 10 June 2008: Pick up Vehicle and drive to Litchfield NP. 1/2 day at Litchfield. Late afternoon drive to Katherine.
- Day 2: Full day Explorer Katherine Gorge Tour or Hire Canoes. Night at Katherine Gorge.
- Day 3: Katherine to Kununurra via Gregory and Keep River National Parks. Night at Kununurra
- Day 4: Joy Flight over Lake Argyle and Bungle Bungles. Drive to Bungle Bungles. Camp at Bungle Bungles.
- Day 5: Various walks within the Bungle Bungles. Night at Bungles.
- Day 6: Bungle Bungles to El Questro, Emma Gorge on the way to El Questro. Night at El Questro or Emma Gorge.
- Day 7: Zebedee Springs and El Questro Gorge. Head towards Manning Gorge. Camping at Manning Gorge.
- Day 8: Manning Gorge, Galvans Gorge. Camping at Silent Grove or Bell Gorge
- Day 9: Bell Gorge,Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek.Camping at Windjana Gorge.
- Day 10: Geikie Gorge, ???
- Day 11: ??? Night in Broome.
- Day 12: Full day in Broome.
I took your advice regarding booking accommodation at Broome asap. I don't know how it quite works, but in the short time it took me to confirm my booking with Flight Centre, apparently there is now nothing available in Cable Beach. Therefore, we will be staying in Broome itself.
At the end of the day, I am feeling quite comfortable with what we can see and do, and we will only really know when we actually get on the road and see how much energy we have after driving, walking, swimming and camping each day.
12 Days Darwin to Broome w/o Mitchell Falls: Feedback
Yep, getting accommodation in Broome during the season is a challenge.
That looks very good to me. You'll be grateful to have those days to spare. I would consider adding an extra day at the very beginning and spending a night in Litchfield, for example at Sandy Creek on the southern access road (away from the bitumen and the masses).
Then you can take your time setting up camp in the afternoon, have a leisurely morning before you need to pack up again, stop in Katherine on the way to get the bits and pieces you now realised you forgot to get in Darwin, before you head out to the campground at the gorge.
You get the idea. Rather than starting the trip with a mega rushing and driving day and an unfamiliar vehicle and camping set up, give yourself and your partner time to ease into life on the road.
The good thing about this itinerary is that you will be reasonably flexible. If you are having a good time, swimming and lazing at one of the gorges or waterfalls, then you don't have to leave again in a hurry to make sure you get to the next stop in time.
Will Bell Gorge, Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek be too much to do in one day? You will see when you get to Windjana. As you suggested yourself, if it is getting late, leave Tunnel Creek for next morning. It's a tunnel, so it doesn't matter AT ALL what time of the day it is. It's always dark...
And Derby and Wyndham, well... I really like both towns, but from a visitor's point of view, if your time is limited, those would be the first things I'd drop.
I think you have a very workable outline there. The rest will fall into place on the way. Just take it as it comes, with this itinerary you can.

Madonna Sterilization Team Sterilized Dressing Rooms
The Material Girl is so worried about her obsessive fans that she has set up a 'sterilisation team' to clean away any traces of DNA that she might have left behind from her hair, skin or saliva, reported Mirror online.
The 53-year-old is said to have demanded that only herself and her entourage are allowed backstage and no one is allowed to even look at her dressing room once it has been made ready.
Concert promoter Alvaro Ramos, who is looking after the Portuguese leg of her world tour, said, "We have to take extreme care. In the end it is all to protect her and make her comfortable. I do understand it but it is taken to extremeness."
The star also makes sure that her personal team build her changing room so there is no danger of anyone planting any hidden cameras.
Madonna is currenly on her MDNA world tour and has already played in Israel, Turkey, Italy and Spain and arrives in Portugal this Sunday.
She has already caused controversy by flashing her nipple in Israel and her bottom in Italy.

School Rules, Student Rights, and a Safe Place
to Learn - December 8, 1994
There are moments in every school day when the rules make life more difficult, and we wish there weren't any. But that wish evaporates quickly when we think of trying to survive in a school environment that has no rules. Most rules are followed willingly, because they keep us safe and comfortable. And most of the time we don't think about the rules that protect our property and ourselves from intrusion of others.
So the problem is not whether a school should have rules, or whether students should have any rights. But which rules contribute to our safety and comfort in a democratic society and which are a serious intrusion on our individual rights?
Which rules are the good ones? And, perhaps more importantly, who should decide? Some rules might look very effective from one perspective, but seem unfair from another point of view.
By examining some current rules that have been passed about student conduct, we may better understand how difficult it is to make schools a safe and comfortable place for all students. We may also understand how difficult it is for adults who are responsible for school policy to arrive at a policy that everyone can accept.
This Town Hall Meeting will help you to consider the actions of our elected representatives, and to think about what they might do in the future to help schools and the society become safer, more humane places for all of us. In developing your own point of view, you will want to consider the First Amendment to the Constitution and its protection of individual rights. The other side of school rules is student rights, and sometimes the two sides can be in conflict.

Your can avoid the inconvenience of a debit card transactions denial,

Courtesy Pay Protection
Unforseen expenses can sometimes occur and you may not have enough money to cover the costs. Courtesy Pay protection may help you pay direct withdrawals, Bill Payer transactions and check drawnon your account. Courtesy Pay may also help with everyday debit card transactions. Opting into Courtesy pay may mean fewer denials at the check-out counters and with online and phone purchases. Avoid the inconvenience of a debit card transactions denial, prevent any non-sufficient funds fees (NSF) that merchants add, and save yourself from the embarassment of bouncing a check.
How it Works
PrimeSource Credit Union offers this non contractual courtesy to cover checks and automatic electronic payments that overdraw your checking account up to $1500 per account, including fees. For each check or other item that PSCU pay, a $27 Courtesy Pay fee is charged.
Benefits of Courtesy Payment
Accounts that are Covered by Courtesy Payment
All checking accounts offered by PrimeSource Credit Union are eligible for Courtesy Pay provided that the account holder meets the eligibility requirements listed above.
Courtesy Pay privileges may be extended for the following types of transactions:
Courtesy Payment privileges cannot be used to cover overdrafts that might result from an automatic transfer between accounts at PrimeSource Credit Union, or to make automated teller machine (ATM) withdrawals.
Notification of Activation
PrimeSource Credit Union will notify you by mail any time your Courtesy Payment is activated. If you have a question about your account activity, you may call, stop by, or simply log onto www.primesourcecu.org and view your account activity via Online Banking.
Other Types of Payment Protection Used First
If you are currently signed up for overdraft protection from another PrimeSource Credit Union deposit account, Courtesy Payment would not be used to pay a draft unless there were insufficient funds available in that deposit account or unless you had already completed more than six electronic transfers without having signatures from that deposit account in the current calendar month. These types of transfers include transfers by telephone, automatic scheduled transfers, and online banking transfers, but do not include ATM or shared branching transfers.
Member Responsibility
Once your Courtesy Payment has been activated to cover an overdraft, it is your responsibility to correct an overdraft and to correct any balance deficiency as quickly as possible. PrimeSource Credit Union expects you to make a deposit covering your overdrafts and fees within 30 days. After that time, our normal collection process begins.
Courtesy Payment can be taken away at any time PrimeSource determines that the account is no longer in good standing (such as, but not limited to, difficulty in collecting a negative account or no deposit made within 30 days to bring account back to a positive balance). Once Courtesy Payment has been rescinded, PrimeSource Credit Union is not obligated to honor any future overdrafts, even if they had previously been paid by Courtesy Payment.
Joint Owner Liability
If PrimeSource Credit Union pays an overdraft on an account with more than one owner on the signature card, each owner (or agent of the owner) is jointly and severally liable for payment of the overdrawn amount plus any Courtesy Payment fees.
Social Security Payments
Members receiving direct deposit of their monthly Social Security payment into their checking account who do not want Courtesy Payment eligibility must advise PrimeSource Credit Union, in writing, to discontinue paying overdrafts with these funds. Generally, this will require the member to opt out of the Courtesy Payment program.
Your options for Courtesy Pay include:
Other Overdraft Protection Options:
Savings Account Transfer Option
Use this option to transfer funds from a savings account or money market account to checking account(s) to cover any overdrafts for a minimal fee.
Loan Transfer
Transfers can be made from your PrimeSource Home Equity Line of Credit or PrimeSource VISA Card. Ask for specific details.
Call today for more details on Courtesy Payment and Overdraft Protection services:

Vitória, city, capital of Espírito Santo estado (state), eastern Brazil. It is situated on the western side of Vitória Island, in Espírito Santo Bay. Founded in 1535 by Vasco Fernandes Coutinho, who was given the original captaincy of Espírito Santo by the Portuguese crown, Vitória attained city status and was made a provincial capital in 1823. It is the seat of the Federal University of Espírito Santo (1961) and a Roman Catholic bishopric. In and near the city are textile and cellulose factories, sugar refineries, steel mills, and small manufacturing plants. After World War II Vitória became Brazil's leading iron ore port, but after 1962 the volume of exports greatly exceeded the old port's capacity. Newer facilities, which can accommodate the largest ore carriers, were built at Tubarão, just to the north, through which iron ore, steel, paper, cellulose, and coffee are exported. The city has rail connections with Rio de Janeiro (260 miles [418 km] southwest) and Belo Horizonte and is accessible by highway and air as well as by sea. Multiple football (soccer) stadiums are located there for the city's professional teams. Pop. (2010) 327,801.

wikiHow to Reseed a Lawn with Weeds
Three Methods:Preparing the SoilReseeding the LawnCaring for a Reseeded LawnCommunity Q&A
If your lawn has become an unruly jungle of weeds, it might be time to get the weed whacker out and restart your lawn from seed. To do this, you will need to know how to prepare your lawn, sow the seeds, and care for the seeds once they are in the ground.
Preparing the Soil
1Know when to reseed your lawn. The most effective time to reseed a weedy lawn is early fall when warm days and cool nights provide a good environment for grass seed germination.
- If you cannot reseed your lawn in the fall, you can also reseed it in the spring. Summer and winter months are not ideal for reseeding.
2Test the pH of your soil before you reseed the lawn. You can have your soil tested by a local Extension Office or garden center about one month before reseeding. Ask them to determine the pH of the soil and nutrient levels. This will reveal any problems with the soil that may have contributed to the weed problem.[1]
- If you do not want to go to a garden center, you can also determine the pH yourself. To learn how to do this, read [[ | this article]].
3Get rid of the weeds on your lawn. Good soil preparation is an important step in the reseeding process. Remove the weeds first using a post-emergent weed killer. In general, reseeding can be done about six weeks after applying a weed killer, but this varies, depending on which herbicide is used.
- Select an herbicide that will kill the weeds growing in the lawn and follow the manufacturer's recommendations carefully.
4Mow the remaining grass so that it is roughly three-fourths of an inch tall. Mow the remaining grass to a height of ¾ inch, using a catcher on the mower to catch the grass clippings.[2]
- Cutting the grass this short will help for the seeds to take root and grow.
5Dethatch your lawn. A dethatching machine or power rake can be rented from an equipment rental company, which is the easier way to go, or it can be done by hand with a dethatching rake.
6Add soil amendments to your lawn if necessary. If the pH of your lawn was off and led to weed growth, you will likely have to add some soil amendments to your lawn to keep the weeds from coming back.
- Soil amendments will make your lawn either more acidic or more alkaline, depending on where you live and what weeds you are dealing with.
7Lay fertilizer down. Use a broadcast spreader to apply starter fertilizer over the lawn. This fertilizer will help your new seeds to grow strong and healthy. You should spread the fertilizer at the rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet.[3] The fertilizer should have one of the following ratios:
- 10-5-5.
- 10-6-4.
- 16-8-8.
Reseeding the Lawn
1Pick out the right type of grass seed for your area. Be sure to select a grass species that will naturally thrive in the environment present in your yard. Select a shade-tolerant species for a shady yard or a sun-loving species for a sunny yard.
- If the lawn will be subjected a lot of traffic, select a species that can handle being tread on.
2Spread the seeds over your lawn. Spread the grass seed using a drop or broadcast spreader, setting the seeding rate according to the grass species being planted. Spread the seed in even swaths in one direction, and then again in the other direction to insure even seeding.
3Rake the soil to lightly cover the seeds. You should try to rake the soil so that the seeds are covered with roughly1/8-inches of soil. If you do not have a rake, you can also spread mulch over the soil.
- If you choose to lay mulch down, you can use a peat spreader. Try to cover the seeds in roughly ¼-inch of mulch or less.
4Go over your seeds with a lawn roller. Go over the newly planted lawn with a lightweight lawn roller to insure good soil to seed contact. A lawn roller presses the seeds down into the ground so that they take root more easily.
- If you do not have a lawn roller, you can rent from your local garden supply store.
Caring for a Reseeded Lawn
1Keep the seeds moist. Water the newly seeded lawn just enough to moisten the soil. The seeds must be kept moist at all times in order for them to germinate (grow into grass blades). Check the soil often and water the seeds lightly as soon as the soil begins to become dry.
- Watering the grass once each morning is usually enough, but your seeds may need to be watered more often if you live in a hot or windy climate.
2Reduce how often you water the seeds once they begin to germinate. The seeds should germinate in about three weeks. After the seeds germinate, reduce the watering frequency but increase the amount of water given.
- The amount of water you give your germinating seeds will depend on the type of grass you are trying to grow. Read the instructions that come with the seeds.
3Mow the grass once it reaches the maintenance height of that specific type of grass. Again, each type of grass will have its own specific instructions. Keep the grass mowed at the correct height and water it regularly to encourage a thick, healthy lawn and discourage weed growth.
4Fertilize the new grass. Fertilize the new grass six to eight weeks after it germinates. You do not water to fertilize the grass before this because the fertilizer could choke or damage the seeds. When you do fertilize the grass, use:
- One pound of nitrogen fertilizer per 1,000 square feet.
Community Q&A
I've got a small lot on a river, so the soil is moist, and half of the lawn is just weeds. Any way that killing those weeds and throwing down some soil and seed over them work?wikiHow ContributorKill the weeds first, try Weed-B-Gon in a pump sprayer. Depending on the hardiness of your weeds, do the Weed-B-Gon twice in a month with 2 weeks between applications. 2 weeks after your last weeding, throw down a liberal amount of seed. Water the seed area softly for 5 minutes at dinner or later daily for 2 weeks and you'll be growing. Finally, don't cut your lawn lower than 2 inches, so the grass can root well and shade out baby weeds.
How do I distinguish grass from weeds?wikiHow ContributorGrass is a single very thin leaf, weeds are multi-leafed thin stalks. You can let weed killer figure it out.
- If you do not know what kind of grass would work well for your lawn, talk to a representative of a local garden supply store.

Brazil contains oil spill
The state oil company in Brazil, Petrobras, says it has contained a massive oil spill that has polluted the southern Iguacu River.
On Sunday, four million litres of crude oil escaped from a burst pipeline into the river making it the biggest oil spill in 25 years.
A Petrobras statement said the spillage was brought under control by installing a number of floating barriers and other equipment at eight key points on the river.
Oil is still seeping through the floating barriers, but the slick has been moving along the river slower than expected.
The crude oil has been flowing down the southern Iguacu River, endangering drinking water, farm land and animal life along a 230 km (140 mile) stretch.
Dead fish, birds and mammals coated in oil are washing up on the river banks, according to environmental officials.
State-owned oil company Petrobras is to be fined $28m for the spill - the maximum allowed for environmental disasters.
Regional threat
Brazil's Foreign Ministry said it had spoken to the governments of Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay about its efforts to prevent the oil spreading over Brazil's borders.
The leak happened 20km upstream from the state capital of Curitiba, so its 1.5 million inhabitants are not in any immediate danger.
But authorities warned that by Wednesday the slick could reach Uniao da Vitoria, a town of 75,000 people, about 200 km away.
The city depends on the Iguacu for drinking water and has an important hydroelectric dam.
Environment agency president Jose Antonio Andreguetto said: "Plants and animals are significantly affected.
"The rehabilitation of the ecosystem will take a long time and will be very difficult."
'Absolute negligence'
Petrobras President Henri Phillippe Reichstul said the company accepted full responsibility for the accident and that "unlimited" resources would be used to repair the environmental damage.
"We cannot allow a company the size of Petrobras to get away with at least two serious accidents in less than a year," Environment Minister Jose Sarney Filho said. "This is absolute negligence."
Petrobras has been aggressively expanding its activities to keep a competitive edge since the government ended its 46-year monopoly on oil exploration last year.
Environmentalists say the company's pipelines are poorly maintained, while unions representing workers at the company say a recent 50% reduction in staff could have a lot to do with the recent leak.

Travel news from around the globe.
What is believed to be the world's most expensive cruise is on sale in Britain. Costing about $1.6-million a couple for 124 days, the expedition begins with a helicopter flight to a London airport. Next comes a flight to Los Angeles by private jet with a Michelin-starred chef on board. Then begins the cruise itself. Accommodation is in the Royal Suite aboard the Silver Whisper. Stops are made in 28 countries, including French Polynesia, New Zealand, Malaysia, the Maldives and Mauritius.
In the seas
Romance on the Love Boat may soon be between cougars and cubs – women of a certain age and the young men they pursue. The 40-year-old cruise ship, which was featured on a long-running TV series, is in financial trouble. So Toronto-based CougarLife.com founder Claudia Opdenkelder has made a $3.5-million (U.S.) offer to buy the Pacific Princess. Should she succeed, each cruise would feature celebrity guests. Topping Opdenkelder's wish list are Madonna and J.Lo.
In the museum
There's no need to dress up for evening tours being offered in late April at Sydney's Museum of Contemporary Art. Participants will be nude, as will the guide, artist Stuart Ringholt. The bare-it-all affairs coincide with a Ringholt exhibition. According to the show's curator, "It'll take place after hours so it's completely private and closed to the public, with 50 people in each group, led by Stuart, and it's about engaging people in this heightened state of vulnerability and awareness."

Place your bids for the Plebgate bike
The bicycle at the centre of the "plebgate" scandal has raised £1,020 — and counting— for charity after Andrew Mitchell, the former Tory chief whip, decided to auction it.
The MP has put the 18-gear Reflux Westminster bike up for sale on eBay, after deciding that it had become too easy to recognise: people have been stopping him to ask for photographs as he rode in London. The bike will stay on sale until Thursday and the proceeds will go to help HIV and Aids-affected children in Kenya.
Mr Mitchell has denied claims he called police officers who refused to allow him to take his bike through the gates at Downing Street "plebs".
Scotland Yard are investigating the dispute in the wake of claims which…

I find this very interesting. I too am related to Daniel Boone. But by marriage only. As far as I can tell. Daniel Boone has a brother Squire Boone Jr. If I remember right he married a woman by the last name of VanCleave. My line of VanCleaves married Rykers/Rikers which in turn married into my HELMS line.
Now this is where it gets really interesting. My 5x Great Grandfather John Helms married an Elizabeth Rice. She was born circa 1765 in Baltimore, Maryland.
I have had several theories as to who her family is. But it has been hard to pin down for sure because she has always been listed as being an orphan. Someone gave me some info once that said her mothers maiden name may have been Dent or Denton. And that Elizabeths father had died and then her mother remarried to a Rigg or Riggs. Having 2 more children. I e-mailed the person that had this info but they never got back to me. Anyways here are some of the
other surnames that connect to my Helms line. They are Cox, Whelchel (which I believe he too fought at the Battle of Kings Mountain)and it is mentioned in a book written by a Whelchel that my 5x Great Grandfather served with Davis Whelchel. And I shouldn't forget to mention Carson and Barrett. It is said that my Carsons are related to Kit Carson. Some of the families seem to intermarry so much it made it hard to keep up with them. LOL..
PS By the way I have been looking to see if my Helms were connected in some way to the NC Helms line. But it seems that Helms were all up and down the East Coast. But that being said there is an Ira Helms that trys to work on all Helms lines. And he has the ones that connect to the Presslar/Pressley lines.

Hi Kriesi,
First off, let me just say I love the Display template, one of my favourites to work on.
Well, I have the the Display theme (version: 1.4) running on WordPress 3.0.1 locally on my Mac using MAMP.
It works absolutely fine, no issues at all.
I have had to transfer the installation to a windows machine running XAMPP (latest version).
Basic steps taken:
1. export and import of SQL file from PHPMyAdmin
2. transfer of wordpress folder to htdocs folder on Win machine
3. change config.php file with new SQL table details
Everything in the theme is working fine, except for the slider which fails to display at all, just leaves a blank space on the front page.
I have checked that all of the files copied over correctly including the images and slider files.
The slider is running off the config.xml file so should be working ok in that regard.
I have checked this in the latest versions of Firefox, Chrome and Opera – none of them display the slider.
Any ideas you might have would be very useful, thanks.
Firstly, Display has been updated and is now at version 2.0. This can be downloaded from your Theme Forest downloads page.
Do you have a URL where I can see the problem? I appreciate it's difficult if its on a local machine but it's easier to debug :)
If you switch the options to use the Slideshow Manager does it work?
The 3-d slide show does not work for me…I can only use the fading slider from the theme options. Any ideas to get this working?
What's the site URL?
Apologies for not coming back to you.
I now have this working, it appeared to be a permissions issue.
Thanks for your help anyway.

This application is a continuation application of Ser. No. 10/454,809, filed Jun. 4, 2003 now abandoned, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety and to which application we claim priority under 35 USC ¦ 120.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to asset management systems and, more specifically, to a covert activity monitoring apparatus and conditional response system comprising a response apparatus and one or more sensors having a predetermined conditional interrupt that can result in the response apparatus logging an activity for later download and/or transmitting an alarm condition to a remote monitoring system. In addition the remote monitoring system can initiate a locator sequence for the article incorporating the activity monitoring system.
The response apparatus is comprised of a sensor interface and a wireless interface. The sensor interface controls the input and output with the one or more sensors while the wireless interface can be engaged by the sensor interface or the remote monitoring system to initiate a location sequence.
The covert activity monitoring apparatus and conditional response system is an asset management system used to preprogram event responses from at least one event indicator comprising any sensor or electronic apparatus that responds to a stimulus in a predetermined manner and generates a determinable signal to said stimulus. The determinable signal can be an electrical or fiber optic signal or propagation of an electromagnetic wave, such as radio, infrared, visible light or ultraviolet signal.
Sensor circuitry is operable to determine the occurrence of a stimulus event and coupled to the sensor interface of the activity monitoring and conditional response system. Since the acceptable environmental parameters are predefined, the stimulus event is easily predeterminable. Therefore, the type of activity to be monitored incorporates the appropriate monitoring sensor communicating with the sensor interface of the activity monitoring and conditional response system which determines the event response that will be initiated upon receipt of the sensor signal triggered by the stimulus event. In some instances, the preprogrammed response may be to record the event for later download and analysis or may include actively controlling various subsystems of the monitored article.
In the preferred embodiment, the monitored article is a portable sealable shipping container used in the transportation of freight aboard ships, rail cars and motorized vehicles, such as tractor hauled trailers. Accordingly, the present invention provides means for managing the assets within the container whether or not the container is tethered to a transportation medium such as a tractor.
Assets within a shipping container may require more care than moving the freight from point 'A' to point 'B'. The conditions under which the freight was transported or the environment within the container may determine the value of the freight upon reaching its destination, such as maintaining the temperature within a refrigerated unit. In addition, the obvious paramount necessity is to prevent tampering with or theft of the freight. Therefore, the response apparatus of the present invention is a programmable device wherein an applicable event response is programmed into the sensor interface as determined by the user.
For example, in a vehicle, this may include controlling engine speed and/or braking or an emergency communication can be automatically transmitted, using the present invention's incorporated telemetry apparatus, to a remote guardian for recording or other predetermined guardian response, such as initiating a locator sequence.
As used herein, the sensor interface includes a microcontroller communicating with at least one sensor providing information relating to the sensor status with a predetermined event indicator sequence to be executed that can include recording the event as well as initiating a locate sequence using the wireless interface.
With the advent of geo-positioned satellites, the location of an asset is precisely ascertainable through trilateration of satellite signals, such as those broadcast by the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), Russian Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS) and the European Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and Galileo System. In consideration of these available and highly accurate systems, the present invention's wireless interface uses one or more position determination modules to define the location of a monitored asset for recording or immediate broadcast. Notwithstanding some unforeseen advantage, the preferred embodiment incorporates a GPS module and wireless interface into a basic locator unit working in conjunction with the aforementioned sensor interface to form a 'Security Tracker' device, which for clarity and illustrative purposes is described in a tractor-trailer application.
2. Description of the Prior Art
There are other tracking/locator devices designed for freight. While these locator devices may be suitable for the purposes for which they were designed, they would not be as suitable for the purposes of the present invention, as hereinafter described.
Therefore it is felt that a need exists for a covert device that can be incorporated into the body of a container having means for communicating with at least one sensor and whereby when said sensor is triggered, means for recording and or transmitting said information to a remote location is performed.
Furthermore, a need exist wherein the remote monitoring location is provided with means for designating various sensors to be utilized in the management of the container freight and what action should be initiated when said sensor(s) are triggered. Whether that action is to record the sensor data for later download or whether an emergency transmission to the remote location is initiated.
The security tracker of the present invention is comprised of the basic tracker (Wireless network and GPS) and the security peripherals. A peripheral PIC controller controls the security peripherals and can communicate with the main controller over a serial link or using a discrete link. When using the discrete interface the peripheral controller creates pulses on three lines (the buttons). The pulses can be short or long, creating fourteen different combinations that can be interpreted by the main controller as fourteen different commands. The peripheral controller interfaces with the protected environment using six discrete lines that can be configured as input or output depending on the application. In addition, there are two discrete lines that are connected directly to the main controller. There is one output line from the main controller to the outside.
Mobile Unit Tracker
In one application of the invention, Mobile Unit Tracker (MUT), the Security Tracker is placed in the tail light fixture of the trailer drawing its power from the tail light power source. The following circumstances will cause the MUT to initiate a location cycle:
When the trailer is connected to the truck, when the trailer is disconnected from the truck and when the trailer door is opened while the trailer is disconnected, which will initiate an emergency location.
In this application, at all times the Basic Tracker is powered off. Only the peripheral controller is powered and draws minimally current and should be capable if being unattended for several months. Solar cells can be used to make the tracker run indefinitely.
When the trailer is connected to the truck, the basic tracker may be on to allow real-time locations and other interrogations initiated from the monitoring center.
The tracker can be programmed to stay alive when disconnected from the truck. When it is disconnected from the truck power source the tracker can be programmed to wake up periodically and capture its location and store internally or send them back with each locate. When a location is needed, the peripheral controller powers up the basic tracker to initiate a location.
The center is in charge of initiating the basic tracker down. It can be configured to which of the above cases to ignore. The tracker can monitor the following types of conditions: temperature, cargo, intrusion, angle of tractor, motion, acceleration and it can be geofenced. It can transmit data from each of these sensors as well as visible light, infrared images and audio information.
Adapting the Tracker/LSC Software
The peripheral controller using the buttons 3 line interface can send the following commands to the Basic Tracker;
The status byte of the QNC header will convey the following:
Latch bit—is the trailer connected to the truck.
Lock bit—is the trailer door open.
Tamper—Set to 1 if the door is opened while the trailer is disconnected.
Powering the Basic Tracker Down
After initiating the two non-emergency events the peripheral controller will wait 5 minutes and power the basic tracker down. For an emergency locate case, however, to make sure the tamper is reported, the peripheral controller will not power the Basic Tracker down. The LSC will control that by sending an unlock command. This will send a signal to the peripheral controller to power the Basic Tracker down.
Wireless Network and GPS Antenna
To prevent disabling the device by disconnecting the antennas, the device will have a dual GPS antenna setup, and decoy antennas will be installed on the trailer.
The Trailer Cargo Connection
The following are additional features that can be added to the Trailer Security Tracker:
the ability to identify if the trailer is empty or not. This can be done using laser beams that crisscross the inside of the trailer.
The ability to read a RF tag attached to the cargo, send the information to the center to match the trailer with the cargo it is carrying.
Other Applications
With the same basic design the Security Tracker can support connecting a digital camera and sound recorder and transmitting the information to the center over the wireless network.

Bestselling Cookbooks & Kitchen Products
Back in April you may remember that I featured some of the most popular kitchen items purchased by Brown Eyed Baker readers through Amazon. It was fun for me to see what types of things that readers here enjoy most, plus I got a lot of great feedback on the usefulness of the post, so I have decided to make it a quarterly feature here on the site.

If you have been reading Brown Eyed Baker for any length of time, you know how much I value my kitchen scale and how important I believe weighing your ingredients is.
Have fun browsing and Merry Christmas in July! It's never too early to start a Christmas list, either for yourself or friends and family!

"Bankrobber" - The Clash
Break your back to earn your pay and don't forget to grovel."
- It's nice to see the intellectual leader of the conservative judiciary showing his continued grasp of the fine points of the law. What a fucking fatuous gobshite this clown is. That he is taken seriously as a judge is a measure of just how far we have fallen. The notion that he is somehow a brilliant jurist rather than a transparently political hack really should be put to rest after this argument and the one over ACA.
- Speaking of right wing intellectual clownishness, Pierce, in brilliant fashion, finishes what Michael Sean Winters began -- the complete and utter gutting of Ross Douthat's newly minted, spectacularly ahistorical piece on America's loss of its good old fashioned religious wisdom circa 1950. Douthat, like his intellectual soul mate at the Times, David Brooks, has pretensions to being an intellectual, but, alas, possesses the withered mind and soul of the propagandist. Facts are selectively distorted or omitted to fit Ross's thesis, which is that once there was a golden age in which Protestants and Catholics of all stripes joined together and denounced sexy time and made us a better nation for it.
- And to continue picking on right wing Catholics, both the U.S. Conference of Bishops and the faculty at Georgetown University seem to have an issue with the budget proposed by Paul Ryan, the man Pierce memorably describes as the "zombie-eyed granny starver," who tried to claim that his work was consistent with Catholic notions of social justice. The Georgetown faculty begged to differ in rather stark terms:
"Your budget appears to reflect the values of your favorite philosopher, Ayn Rand, rather than the Gospel of Jesus Christ," says the letter, which the faculty members sent to Mr. Ryan along with a copy of the Vatican's Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church — "to help deepen your understanding of Catholic social teaching."

Mykonos, or else The Island of The Winds, is part of the Cyclades, located in the middle of the Aegean Sea. It is accessible from sea (from the ports of Piraeus and Rafina – duration of travel ranges from 3 to 5 hours) and air (from The Athens International Airport duration of flight is 45 minutes, while Mykonos airport is also directly connected to major European cities). In addition, due to its location Mykonos is the perfect hub for private cruising in the central Aegean.
The island of Mykonos is legendary for its picturesque beauty, consisting of white houses, windmills and heavenly beaches. Night life of Mykonos is legendary, with the island being considered the ultimate party destination in the whole Mediterranean Sea, attracting rich and famous from all over the world.
In the alleys of Chora (the capital of the island) one can find everything, ranging from world class brands to traditional products and from quiet restaurants to famous night clubs. Many celebrities wander around in the area of Matogiannia and then enjoy a premium cocktail at sunset by the sea in scenic Little Venice.
Beaches of incomparable beauty invite one to explore all shades of blue, while some of them possess world class beach restaurants. Indicatively, one could mention the exceptionally well-organized Psarou beach and its glamorous beach bar-restaurant Nammos that has evolved to a beloved destination for the international jet set. At the same time, more private beaches, such as Fokos, promise one an exclusive view of the Aegean Sea and enchanting sunsets.
Moreover, Mykonos is linked via small boats to Delos. Delos is the best preserved ancient city in Greece. In the antiquity it was considered a sacred place, as it was believed to be the birthplace of Apollo (the God of Sun) and Artemis (the Goddess of Hunt, Wildlife, Childbirth). The archaeological museum of Delos is one of the most important museums of Greece, displaying rare sculptures, potteries, inscriptions and mosaics.
Mykonos is a unique combination of peacefulness and conviviality that attracts the elite from all over the world, rewarding at the same time those willing to discover its tranquil side.

Childhood Obesity and Public Health
One issue that many public health officials are now investigating is how children's health is positively impacted when families are given greater access to healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Students who are currently pursuing an online masters degree in public health will be dealing with this nationwide issue of access to healthy food for years to come. Public health departments will put plenty of time and energy into ensuring that families of varying socioeconomic backgrounds living in rural and urban communities all have equal access to nutritious, healthy foods.
Pre-Birth Obesity Indicators
Using what scientists at the University of Verona call the "obesity risk calculator," medical doctors can now predict at the time of birth a baby's approximate potential risk of becoming obese later on in life. Scientists at many different universities around the world have been able to replicate these findings with 60 to 80 percent accuracy using various measurements including BMI (body mass index), height and weight indicators and more. These newfound "obesity indicators" should help parents to begin early to teach their children about healthy eating and exercise habits which can lessen the threat of obesity later in life.
Healthy Moms Equal Healthy Babies
Researchers at the University of Adelaide have discovered a link between what types of food a pregnant woman consumes and whether her baby will develop a greater desire for eating foods labeled as "junk food." When a pregnant woman consumes junk food, her baby's brain signaling system develops differently from that of babies whose mothers consume a healthier diet. The babies born to junk food-consuming moms have less sensitivity to high sugar and fat foods (which are typically the same foods labeled as "junk foods"). This means that babies born to junk food-consuming moms will need to eat more sugary, fatty foods to get the same opioid rush from these foods, which can set up cravings later in life. This study points to the need for greater health education and family planning to help moms set up their infants for healthy eating habits as they mature.
How Access Affects Consumption
Several universities, including Yale University and the University of Illinois at Chicago, are currently studying how access to "junk foods" or less healthy food choices affect consumption levels. Not surprisingly, research at middle schools has produced evidence that removing junk food from schools results in lower junk-food consumption levels among middle school students. In addition to attempts to reform choices in school cafeterias, these efforts targeted soft drink and snack food vending machines, intending to replace sugary sodas and junk food in the vending machines with healthy choices like bottled water, fruit juices, pretzels, fruits and granola bars. The researchers focus on children's health now that there is clear evidence linking consumption of junk and sugary foods in childhood to development of heart disease and diabetes later in life. The schools, however, want to maintain lucrative vendor relationships with the junk food and vending machine companies. So while research continues to highlight the need to remove sugary sodas and junk foods from schools, even schools that are mandated to remove these food options often resist legislative pressures to comply.
Science today gives parents clear information to help their children eat healthy, exercise and make lifestyle choices that can set them up for success throughout their lives. Now all that remains is to put this information to good use!

How Obama can win reelection
Obama won't convince anyone that he has turned the country around; but he could justifiably claim that he has fixed many of the problems bequeathed to him by his predecessor, George W. Bush, and made meaningful progress on the remaining ones, enough to warrant a second term. There's at least some evidence to suggest it might succeed. Americans first turned against Bush and the Republican Party en masse over the Iraq War. Obama's opposition to the war, and the contrast that presented with Hillary Clinton, won him the Democratic nomination and helped put him in the White House. Fulfilling his pledge to end the war that Bush started should resonate even with voters frustrated about the economy. So should his record of dispatching terrorists and dictators. Osama bin Laden, Khadafy, and Anwar al-Awlaki, have all fallen as a result of Obama's actions.

I suppose I was readying myself for this the other night in class. I found myself saying that over time I'd come to have faith in the creative experiences I'd had as a child, when I had no notion of work habits and only proceeded by inspiration. Suddenly I'd have an image in my mind and I'd run to write it or draw it or build it.
There seems to be a difference between a good idea and a whole one. Inspiration is all encompassing. It's possible to root around for good ideas, but it seems that the whole ones arrive on their own time schedule. Probably it's sensible to practice technique on good ideas so you'll be ready when inspiration arrives, but I'm not even convinced of the necessity. Inspiration can guide and teach, too. Usually it is inspiration that prompts people to learn an art form, to fulfill the vision.
Who knows what will become of my inspiration? That is another matter.
I remembered how beautifully the painter Agnes Martin wrote about inspiration. Here are a few lines from An Untroubled Mind.
Inspiration is pervasive but it is not a power
It's a peaceful thing
It is a consolation even to plants and animals
It is an untroubled mind.
Of course we know that an untroubled state of mind cannot last so we say that inspiration comes and goes but really it is there all the time waiting for us to be untroubled again. We can therefore say it is pervasive. Young children are more untroubled than adults and therefore have many more inspirations. All the moments of inspiration together make what we call sensibility. The development of sensibility is the most important thing for children and adults but it is much more possible in children. In adults it would be accurate to say the awakening to their sensibility is the most important thing.

This is true, but the problem is such first (or second) time buyers aren't up to speed on the issue, and don't have any recognition of the anti-gunners' long-term plans. These new buyers are drinking the Kool-Aid. They think all they have to do is get in the door and buy their one rifle/pistol/shotgun before the next AWB gets passed and they'll magically be grandfathered forever.
What we need to do ... somehow ... is get through to these people that their new home defense Megablaster X27 is NOT grandfathered forever. It's only safe until the antis choose to ban it. Heck, in New York many people even on the gun forums don't understand that an 8-round 1911 magazine is only grandfathered for one year. I don't know how to get people to wake up and (as the late Ann Landers used to say) smell the coffee.
Note - the post that this responds to, was deleted as it had some problems. So let it go. It is a shame that folks cannot abide by some simple rules. Sigh. - GEM.

To Whom It May Concern:
I know and believe in my heart that Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments are the answer for my 7 year old daughter with CP. I'm not accustomed to asking anyone for any financial help. I need to know are there any groups or organization or philantropist that might help pay for such treatments. I live in Texas and the treatment center is in Florida so that would be another expense. I am a teacher who really doesn't make enough money to care for a son and a handicapped daughter but I make just enough to deny me getting any kind of services for my daughter. it hurts so bad knowing that my childs possible chance of being able to lay down her walker is in Florida but I can't afford to pay for it. Thank you for any information that you can share with me. my e-mail address email@example.com

Age Cymru has welcomed the energy summit being held by the UK Government at which the UK's six largest energy companies have been invited to meet Ofgem and consumer groups.
Our director of Influencing and Programme Development, Victoria Lloyd says:
"We hope today's meeting will lead to clear and assertive action to address fuel poverty.
"Fuel poverty already affects 320,000 households in Wales, those who need to spend 10 per cent or more of their income on fuel in order to maintain adequate heating.
"One of the key factors that influence whether someone will be living in fuel poverty is the cost of energy and the affordability of energy requires particular attention following rapid increases in fuel costs and several cold winters in a row.
"The UK Government must establish whether customers are paying a fair price for gas and electricity, as under the present pricing regime energy companies appear to pass on price rises much quicker than they cut bills when the wholesale cost of fuel goes down.
"Age Cymru also wants to see an end to price inequalities that penalise the poorest consumers who tend to use pre-payment meters or pay by cash or cheque."
