Hi people, I've got a problem with Stig's Bulletproof buttons ( http://emailbtn.net/ ) in Android S3's mail client.
I've tried the default style button from the site, a custom rolled one, one with a span with all the styling outside the anchor and one with a span inside the anchor.
Android S3 just shows a plain old hyperlink in every case. I don't even want to think about other versions.
Anyone else found this? Or even better, a solution?
Hi there Dr Madvibe - great to meet you! Would you be able to tell us which email client you're seeing this in (eg. default client, Gmail)? If you have a code sample of what you're using or screenshot, that would be amazing.
Once we have these details, Stig, I and others will be able to get a better idea of what's happening here. Thanks for your patience!
Hi doc, sorry you're having trouble getting the buttons to show up on an Android S3 – that certainly sounds odd.
I haven't tested them on that specific device, but I haven't had any trouble on other very similar Android phones.
Further to what Ros is saying, I wonder if the code might somehow be getting altered along the way? Have you tested sending your email with Campaign Monitor, or through a different service?
If you can access the address you're sending to through a desktop email client, could you have a look at these instructions for grabbing the received message source? That's a good place to start – making sure the original code makes it through to your inbox in one piece.
Hi Stig & Ros, thanks for the response.
It's the default Samsung S3 email client. Here's a screen shot: http://i.imgur.com/nLZWwaz.png
You can just see some white text below the 'First installment' saying 'Pay monthly'; it's supposed to have a big red background. (This is dummy data btw)
And the email is here: http://www.hastingsdirect.com/email/responsive-email/quote.html
That screenshot was sent by our email servers, but the several tests using putsmail.com also fail.
I can't access this particular devices's webmail account, but on different recipient's Gmail webmail account only the background url and the -webkit is stripped out.
Dr M
BTW you will also notice on the screenshot it hasn't responded to the media queries that tell it to shrink to one column.
Thanks for the details, Dr.
I didn't actually realize Samsung had replaced the default Android email client with one of their own for the S3.
That's likely the culprit then – I don't believe we've done any email rendering testing in Samsung's app, unfortunately. We'll see if we can get our hands on a copy for some more thorough testing.
For now, would something like this work better?

<![if !mso]>

Pay monthly

<![endif]>

Here I've separated the HTML and VML elements, and wrapped a table around the HTML version. The table is styled to match the button size and look, as the email client does seem to handle table HTML better.
A little clunkier, and probably not a perfect result, but I hope it helps you a little closer to a good solution.
I'd like to say that works, but my stupid device has stopped picking up my test emails. Pah!
There's an IT support guy here who has the same phone and says all his emails come in BIG style.
Frustrating for sure, sorry to hear that! If you do get the tests through to one of the phones, I'd love to see how it went.
OK, here's the results of the fun. I've indented it all for readability. I had to:
reduce the width of the mso button a bit.
add a span around the html button text
The button text is still underlined even though the anchor and the span within it specify not to. And there are probably too many importants, but I have to get it out the door today.

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) – Openly mocking cancer patients and the terminally ill is an act of futility that's widely regarded to be in poor taste, and depending on which higher power you believe in, one that's perhaps condemnable to hell.
Professionally, former sports talk radio hosts Chris Dimino, Nick Cellini, Steak Shapiro have already been admonished, by getting fired for their poor judgment in ridiculing Steve Gleason on the air Monday, a former New Orleans Saints safety who suffers from the crippling terminal illness ALS.
Publicly, it's now their turn to be mocked, as they bear the full brunt of an entire nation's scorn for imitating the Lou Gehrig's disease patient with a mock-computer-simulated voice on Atlanta's 790 The Zone.

August 16, 1995 WELFARE REFORM AND JOB TRAINING PROGRAMS: WHAT CONGRESS DOESN9T KNOW WILL COST TAXPAYERS ]BILLIONS
By Mark Wilson Rebecca Lukens Fellow in Labor Policy Consolidating federal job training programs and giving the funds to the states in the form of block grants is a major part of the Senate welfare reform debate. Because statistics indicate that more education leads to better-paying jobs, Congress and others assume that job training programs work. Unfortunately, they don't. Rather than focusing on who should have responsibility for job training programs, Congress must ask itself a fundamental question: Why should we continue to spend taxpayer money on programs that don't work? Job training programs, although well-intentioned, have not proven effective in raising the long- term hourly earnings of participants. They do not achieve this primary goal-better-paying jobs- because there is Ilittle, if anything, the government can do to alter the effect of neglecting the first 12 years of school. What is needed are more fundamental changes aimed at reducing illegitimacy and encouraging individuals to complete high school. Welfare reform that focuses on these two goals will reduce the demand for government job training programs that do not work. After 30 years, thousands of local job training programs, and hundreds of billions of dollars spent, only a few dozen job training programs have been subject to rigorous evaluation. The few rigorous studies that have been conducted generally fail to show that job training significantly increases long- term hourly earnings. Process-based performance measures traditionally have been the easier, but in- appropriate, method for determining whether these programs work. But performance measures can be manipulated easily to explain away poor results by those with an interest in holding on to federal job training money. If federal funding for job training is to continue, rigorous control group studies of these programs must be required! Without these studies, American taxpayers will never know whether they are funding effective programs or just throwing good money after bad. 2Y1#611.95
Federal and state job training programs are intended to enable participants to build productive skills that will provide them with higher real wages. Only a few job training programs have ever been subject to rigorous evaluations, and the results show a record of failure.*5 As a report from the Secretary of Labor points out, "there are many areas where little thorough and reliable evaluation evidence is available." 4 The few solid studies that have been conducted generally fail to show any significant increase in the hourly earnings of participants directly related to job training.
A national controlled scientific study of the Title 11-A programs of the Job Training and Partnership Act (JTPA) reported these dismal findings: 5 X The program had no statistically significant effect on either the average earnings of young fe- males or their employment. X The program had a large (7.9 percent) negative effect on the earnings of young males and no effect on their employment. X The program had no statistically significant effect on the average earnings of adult men. X Although the overall program had a small (3.4 percent) effect on the average hourly wage of adult women, classroom training did not have any statistically significant effect. Further, training for those adult women that received welfare or were high school dropouts had no sta- tistically significant effect on earnings. X Immediate placement in a job did have a small effect on earnings, but not on higher hourly wages. The increase in earnings was due primarily to working more hours rather than to higher hourly wages. X Further, in 1991 the General Accounting Office found that the majority of service delivery areas underreported administrative expenditures, resulting in a misrepresentation of program costs and amounting to a circumvention of the statutory limitation placed on administrative costs. 6 A controlled scientific study of the Symmer Training and Employment Program (STEP) reported these disappointing findings: X After two to three years, STFP graduates did not have higher graduation rates or grades than the control group. X Graduates of STEP were no more likely to be working than the control group.
A scientific control group study of the Job Corps, one of the most expensive job training programs, hag never been conducted. However, a 1982 quasi-experimental study found these results: X Job Corps did not significantly help single mothers (the largest number of welfare recipients). X Job Corps did not affect the overall arrest rate. Further, a report by the Department of Labor's Inspector General found that only 17 percent of the Job Corps funding went to educational and vocational training, compared to 26 percent for ad- ministration.9 A study by the General Accounting Office also raised "serious concerns about the va- lidity of job placement information." 10 The GAO was unable to verify job placement for 15 percent of their Job Corps sample. After 30 years and billions of dollars spent, this program has never been subject to rigorous evaluation and only recently has begun to determine the employment status of Job Corps students. 11 A contr?lled scientific study of the Jobstart program also reported disappointing findings:1 X There was no significant increase in overall employment or earnings for the total four-year study period or for any individual year. X The program did not reduce welfare receipt. X Jobstart did not affect overall arrest rates. A controlled study of the Teen ie Parent Demonstration program reported only very It small improvements in earnings. X This demonstration project clearly indicates there are incentives associated with reducing wel- fare benefits to single mothers who do not stay in school or get a job. AFDC grants were reduced by $160 for those who chose not to participate. X However, even this significant penalty increased enrollment in school, job training, or em- ployment by only 13 percentage points and annual earnings by only $300. X There was no improvement in the poverty rate for participants. Controlled studies of the WIN and JOBS programs reported only very mall initial improvements in earnings, and these tend to "fade out" after five years: 14 X The main effect of these programs is to speed up the transition from welfare to work.
X There was only a small increase in average earnings per year, about $300 to $700, and after five years there was no difference in earnings between the control group and the group that participated in the program. X In most cases the increases in literac q skills and educational attainment did not translate into increased earnings or employment. A study by the General Accounting Office also found that the Department of Health and Human Services "does not know whether JOBS is reducing welfare dependency because it does not gather enough information on critical program outcomes." 16
After 30 years, thousands of local job training programs, and hundreds of billions of dollars spent, only a few dozen job training programs have been subject to rigorous evaluation. The few studies that have been conducted generally fail to show any significant long-term increase in hourly earn- ings directly related to job training. Performance measures and benchmarks are easy but unsatisfac- tory means of determining whether or not these programs work. They are easily manipulated and explained away. If federal funding for job training is to continue, rigorous control group studies of these programs must be required. One thing is clear from the few studies that have been done: Government can do little, if any- thing, to alter the effect of neglecting the first 12 years of school. The billions of dollars spent on government job training and public assistance programs are too much, too late. What is needed are fundamental changes aimed at reducing illegitimacy and encour- aging individuals to complete high school. In addition, parents need to make their children stay in school, do their homework, stay out of trouble, and graduate from high school. Welfare reform that focuses on these goals will reduce the demand for expensive government job training programs that do not work.

The Contenders: Page 3
One of the best visual kei bands (if not the best). They writte music that has sence, messages and emotion, something rare for the songs of 21st century. Vote for The GazettE! Gazerock is not dead!V 1 Comment
Neru may be a Derivative but that doesn't mean she doesn't get her chance to shine does it no VOTE FOR NERU AND HAKU Haku may be a derivative but she has also done WAY BETTER than one direction could ever do because One Direction arnt Derivatives and people don't judge them because of it Haku has been doing well for her deritivity and is doing better than one direction ever could if this happened to them AND she only has 4 songs and all the other vocaloids have like 12000 songs so Haku and Neru are good decisions
To be honest, I'd pay to listen to these guys play at every Olympics all the time.
Unfortunately, they no longer exist as a band... But I would love to see Dan, or Radu, or Arsenie perform at the Olympics! And it would be even better if they performed together! I love their music and their voices. I know that not everyone absolutely adores Dragostea Din Tei (more known as Numa Numa), but they have some amazing other songs too... I have never known one person who dislikes Oriunde Ai Fi.
Original lead singer of the Village PeopleV 1 Comment
Hands down the best band ever. With the best drummer in the world Carter Beauford.
I'd love to see Sergey Lazarev perform at the Sochi Olympics. He's a very well known Russian singer who has fans all over the world. It would be amazing to see him there and for the rest of the world to witness his talent. Vote for Sergey Lazarev!V 1 Comment

On this day 20 years ago Paul and Mary were happily married. When I say happily married I mean as happy as you can be when you marry for the wrong reasons Growing up in the Bible Belt and having children out of wedlock was not something that was encouraged. So with the Kids off to college, all that was really left of the relationship was a piece of paper and God's eyes? As Paul was driving to work, a thought occurred to him. He knew how to pay of his outstanding gambling debt! With the kids gone, and the in place perhaps it was time to get a new start.
Rashard awoke to the cries of his 4 week old daughter sleeping in a makeshift bed next to the closet door. Diandra was already up with the formula bottle in hand, trying to comfort and feed the cold and cranky child. Glancing at the clock Rashard jumped out of bed, dressed, kissed his baby mama, and tenderly put his hand on his new baby girl Princess's head and went out the door. It was a cold crisp Rochester morning the night's snow was laying on the ground like a thick white blanket. "Its time to make these bills today," Rashard said aloud as he crossed Martin Luther King Blvd on his way to his little corner.
Paul was sitting in his Cruiser drinking a scorching cup of coffee, with thoughts Just as dark. He had been on the force for 15 years, and had only become more distant, and more inhuman in dealing with the underbelly of society. With only a loveless marriage to look forward to after his shift. Tonight would be different though. He would escape to a new life, and a new world. He revved his engine, put his coffee down, and started his patrol.
Rashard was standing on the corner with his shorties, now R-Cash was not a large or physically imposing man, but he had an immense presence, sort of the Napoleon/Alexander of the Hood. Slinging and hustling had been his reality since he had been in junior high school. He spent his entire life trying to feed his little brother after his mom died of an OD and his Daddy had gone to jail for life. Today would mark a crossroad for R-Cash.
Mary was sitting quietly looking out the window, an invisible tear was moving down her cheek and her eyes were cold and blank.
"Where is Jesus? I've been looking for him all my life but I feel like am not as strong as Job. My child is a blessing, but that blessing has left the house and I'm now alone with emptiness..."
She stepped back to the kitchen as the alarm clock sounded. It was time to take the Roast out.
Diandra was standing by the mobile heater trying to stay warm. The heat was off for the third time this year. Diandra was trying to stay warm, but she had a smile on her face thinking about the gift she had prepared for Rashard. It was their anniversary tonight.
The two met at a retail store. She was a cashier. He came in to buy a pack of Newports and when they met eyes their future together was sealed. Love is a strange thing. It creeps up unexpectatedly but never trulyleaves.
She was happy, she was in love, and she was freezing. A knock on the door came suddenly. Diandra was not expecting Rashard this early. She quickly went to the door. To Diandra's surprise a police officer was standing there.
["Good morning Ma'am,"] he said coldly. He continued "The reason I'm here is to search your premises..." he continued to look coldly toward the young women.
["You got a warrant?"]
Paul got agitated and pushed Diandra. [He stepped] through the threshold. Diandra panicked, but continued to demand a reason for this intrusion. Paul took his baton and cracked the young girl on her head. Diandra fell hard to the floor but remained conscious.
Paul was now beyond incensed but also a bit aroused. Paul had always been nice enough but was repressed man. Now that repression would culminate in [a] crime of the soul.
After the dark deed he went into the bedroom, ripped out a section of drywall, and took the hidden stash. [He was] surprised to hear a cry from the corner of the room. Paul was horrified to see a baby laying there under a few blankets, but he was beyond the threshold of sanity. As he left the now quiet house, he went and sat in his cruiser and drove off into the cold afternoon.
Rashard met his quota for the day, and started walking to the flower shop on the other side of town. He loved to walk the streets, and the cold air made him feel alive. He proceeded with a paced step, thinking of his soul mate and his new baby girl.
He glanced over to the nice houses starting to appear. Someday he thought, someday. For him the game was only the means. He had saved money and planned to open a rim shop on Beverly rd.
Suddenly he smelled the strong sent of smoke. A house at the end of the block was on fire. He ran toward the inferno and heard screams coming from inside. Rashard didn't think twice before using a trash can. He broke through the glass porch door. Running inside he saw a a women bleeding on the floor, trying to crawl away from the blaze.
He quickly ran to her, scooped her up, and together they ran out of the house into the cold snow. She held onto him, and after a brief pause she looked up into his face and uttered [one single word...]
"Angel," before collapsing.
The Ambulance and Fire Departments were on the scene in a short while. She was alive and he had saved her. Rashard picked up the flowers he'd dropped on the way in, and soon after was at his front door.
He was surprised to see the door unlocked. Stepping inside he dropped the flowers, and his legs no longer could hold his body. Sharp pains shot through him. Rashard's soul had been shattered in two.
Paul had received a phone call soon after, "Sorry to tell you but your wife is in the hospital under sedation she should be up soon". Paul was in panic.
"I thought she was dead." He decided that he couldn't face the loss of his dream, and now he would have to go to jail. That evening hunched over his cruiser's steering wheel Paul Zinger was found dead with a bullet to the temple.

1:39pm: The Mavs took several calls regarding McLemore, but are not expected to pull the trigger on a deal involving the shooting guard, Sam Amick of USA Today Sports tweets.
1:28pm: The Mavericks are making a late push for Ben McLemore, reports Chris Haynes of the Northeast Ohio Media Group and the Cleveland Plain Dealer (Twitter link). Haynes calls the Mavs a darkhorse candidate for the shooting guard. The Kings are reportedly "desperate" to move McLemore with the Bulls, Timberwolves and Cavaliers also in the hunt.
Haynes' report comes after Mavs GM Donnie Nelson told reporters that Dallas will not be making any moves today. The Mavs reportedly called the Nets about Thaddeus Young, and considering they were unable to strike a deal it is conceivable that they are looking elsewhere.
McLemore, the seventh overall pick from 2013, is making almost $3.157MM in year three of his four-year rookie scale contract. McLemore is averaging 7.7 points per game this year, a figure that is down from his 12.1 points per game last season.

Washington, DC (PressExposure) September 02, 2009 -- United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon met with Richard Pichler, General-Secretary of SOS Children's Villages, in the Austrian Alps on Sunday. The head of the U.N. warmly congratulated SOS for the charity's six decades of dedication to providing homes and better lives for children around the world.
Mr. Ban Ki-Moon was in Tyrol, Austria, the meeting site, as the keynote speaker at the European Forum Alpbach. The forum is an annual gathering that has taken place in the village of Alpbach since 1945. The setting is a venue for prominent experts, journalists, and politicians to come together to discuss world problems.
This year's forum spotlight was on global political and cultural conflicts.
Such conflicts often wreak havoc in children's lives. SOS Children's Villages operates safe havens for orphaned and abandoned children in 132 countries around the world. In war-torn areas, local SOS staff members including village directors and SOS mothers risk their own lives to protect vulnerable children who have been traumatized by the loss of their families.
U.N. Secretary Long Familiar with SOS Children's Villages
U.N. Secretary-General Ban first became aware of SOS Children's Villages in his home country of South Korea. He encountered SOS again while serving as South Korea's ambassador to Austria, where SOS was founded in 1949.
In Austria on Sunday, Mr. Ban was delighted to accept a booklet from Richard Pichler on SOS's "Strategic Plan 2009-2016." The document outlines SOS's ambitious plans for the future. SOS's work will be an important contribution toward making the rights of children a reality.
The U.N. Secretary-General also assured Mr. Pichler of his commitment to supporting the adoption of the "Guidelines for the Alternative Care of Children" at the U.N. General Assembly in fall 2009. SOS Children's Villages International helped develop this important international framework, which has the potential to improve the lives of millions of children without parental care.

This invention relates to electronic keyboards and musical instruments designed to communicate with each other by a digital system called MIDI, and more particularly to an electronic device (hardware) which, when inserted in the communication lines between MIDI instruments can transpose the music and also perform a very useful control increment operation. The device can also route signals from one set of instruments to another in different ways. It is unique and particularly advantageous because in its preferred form in which logic gates are utilized to monitor and to perform logic functions on the data being processed, it can operate even faster than a microprocessor-based device of this invention and no programming is required.
MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is an internationally accepted standard for signal communication between digital music devices. MIDI signals consist of 8 bit bytes sent serially at a standard rate of 31.25 kilobaud. The most significant bit (MSB) is used to indicate whether the byte is a "Status Byte" (a byte that commands a MIDI Device to perform a certain operation, e.g., "Key On") or a "Data Byte" (a byte that supplies the numerical value of data, e.g., "Key No."). If the MSB is a one then the byte is a Status Byte, otherwise it is a Data Byte. This leaves 7 bits for data which can range from 0 to 127. Numbers larger than 127 require multiple Data Bytes. The 4 least significant bits of a Status Byte indicate the MIDI channel number. This allows 16 different MIDI instruments, each performing different musical parts, to be played by MIDI signals sent over a single cable, because each instrument can be set to respond to all channels or just one selected channel. The remaining three bits of Status Byte (between the MSB and channel number) are used to convey infommation such as Key On, Key Off, Control Change, etc. Control is used to distinguish things like modulation wheel, sustain pedal, volume, etc. from the ordinary keys of a keyboard. When one of these controls is changed the Status Byte 1011cccc is sent by the MIDI system to indicate Control Change, which is then followed by a Data Byte to indicate which control, and one or more Data Bytes to indicate the amount of change. In the above Status Byte and in following statements cccc represents the binary channel number. When a key is pressed, the Status Byte 1001cccc is sent to indicate Key On on channel cccc, which is then followed by a Data Byte to indicate which key, and a third Data Byte to indicate the speed with which it was pressed. When the key is released 1000cccc is sent to signify Key Off on channel cccc followed by a Data Byte to indicate which key. The first Data Byte following a key on, key off, or control change Status Byte is called a MIDI Address since it indicates which key or control was activated. Other Data Bytes are not considered addresses.
Transposing involves the shifting of music from one musical key signature to another. Music written in one key can be transposed up or down any selected number of half tones to sound in another key. The demand for transposers is evident from the fact that there have been over 50 U.S. patents related to transposition. See U.S. Pat. No. 4,176,573 for example. With the MIDI system transposition can be accomplished by recording the MIDI signals with a sequencer, and with the aid of a computer program usually stored in the sequencer's ROM, subtracting or adding the desired amount to each MIDI address which follows a Key On or Key Off Status Byte. Likewise a control increment operation could be performed by incrementing the MIDI address of a control, but most sequencers are not designed to do this. The modified data can then be output so that the desired transposition is accomplished, but with a time lag which in certain situations is intolerable. Signals from MIDI keyboards are often used to play drum machines but most sequencers always transpose all channels by the same amount, i.e., they are not channel selective with respect to transposition. This causes the drums to play incorrectly when music with drum information is transposed. Musicians are also plagued by the fact that the numbering of the controls on MIDI equipment made by different manufacturers is not always the same, and by inconsistencies in equipment made by the same company, e.g., Yamaha's QX1 sequencer addresses the volume control as number 7, but their DX7 Keyboard is incapable of sending volume information to the sequencer because it has no control 7. Musicians with several pieces of MIDI equipment find that routing boxes which can effectively disconnect and reconnect MIDI cables in different ways by just flipping switches are a necessity for efficient operation of the collective equipment. The circuitry to solve the above problems should therefore be housed within a routing box for convenience.
The present invention solves the above problems with a routing box (designed to meet the demands of a keyboard artist operating a recording studio containing much MIDI equipment) which can also convert one MIDI address to another very quickly. It can therefore be termed a MIDI Address Converter and Router. In a preferred embodiment, MIDI signals entering the device through at least six standard MIDI jacks are converted to normal digital logic signals by high speed opto-isolators. The signals are then routed by switches through buffers to selected output jacks or they may be switched into the MIDI Address Converter, later referred to as MAC, which can either transpose the music or perform a control increment operation. In one preferred form the device includes a switch with two positions (which may be labeled KEY CHANGE and CONTROL CHANGE) which is used to select which operation is performed. The amount of the change is input for example by pressing a button (which may be labeled INCREMENT COUNTER) the desired number of times and preferably this information appears on a LED display. The counter is cleared with a RESET button. A switch with suitably labeled positions such as + and - is used to determine the sign of the increment added to the MIDI Address. And, in this preferred form the device also includes a switch with two positions (which may be labeled 1-8 and ALL) to determine whether the address converter is to affect all channels or only channels 1-8. These controls are readily arranged so that a musician can instinctively operate them as quickly as he does the controls on a keyboard.
A further understanding of the MAC can be obtained by studying its block diagram in FIG. 1 and the more detailed diagram of the Controller in FIG. 2.
It will be seen that this invention provides a digital electronic device which includes electronic means selectively intercepting and rerouting the serial data being transmitted between digital music instruments interacting via the MIDI signal standard. Simultaneously, the device performs either transposition or control increment operations by incrementing (or decrementing) only those data bytes which are MIDI addresses of either musical keys or selected controls, (e.g., controls pertaining to volume, pitch bend, tremolo, tone duration, and the like) respectively. The foregoing and other emodiments of this invention will be still further apparent from the ensuing description, accompanying drawings and appended claims.
It should be emphasized that a major advantages of the MAC is the increase in speed resulting from the use of logic gates, to perform decisions and other logic. In fact, a device of this invention built with logic gates and other components available now is capable of operating at 250 kilobaud which is 8 times as fast as the present MIDI baud rate. An additional advantage of the MAC is that no programming is required. However, for some applications a microprocessor may be used even though it would require extra time to fetch and execute program statements from memory.
Other objects, features and advantages of the invention, and a better understanding of its construction and operation, will be had from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment (involving use of the MAC), when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the MIDI Address Converter or MAC which is an important part of the preferred overall MIDI Address Converter and Router system of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the Controller section of the MAC.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of the Increment Selector used in the MAC to select the value and sign of the increment added to the address.
FIG. 4 is a diagram showing detailed connections to all pins of the UART used in the MAC.
FIG. 5 is a detailed schematic of the Adder section of the MAC.
FIG. 6 is a diagram of the Router section of the preferred MIDI Address Converter and Router system of this invention, which section routes signals from selected input jacks to the MAC, and to selected output jacks.
Because in the preferred form depicted signals enter and leave the MIDI Address Converter and Router system through the Router section, the Router section shown in FIG. 6 will be discussed first.
The components in the input and output stages of the Router are determined by the standards of the MIDI system. Signals entering the input jacks in the form of 5 mill current loops, limited by 220 ohm resistors 24 through 29, are converted to normal 5 volt digital signals by opto-isolators 42 through 47, typically pS2007, ECG3087, or equivalent. Diodes 6 through 11, typically 1N4 or equivalent, serve to protect the opto-isolators against accidental voltage of wrong polarity or amplitude. Pull-up resistors 30 through 35 should be about 1000 ohm. In the output stages buffers 36 through 41 should be equivalent to two 74LSO5 inverters connected in series and the current limiting resistors 12 through 23 should be 220 ohm.
The label C on switches 1 through 4 and also on the jack labeled C IN stands for COMMON. The label I on switches 1 through 4 stands for INDIVIDUAL. These terms are routinely used and well understood by users of MIDI gear. The label K on switch 5 and also on the jacks labeled K IN and K OUT stands for Keyboard-controller. A study of the circuit diagram of the Router will reveal the following facts. Signals out of the THRU jack are the same as the signals entering the C IN jack. When switch 2 is in position I signals pass unchanged through it from the 2 IN to the 2 OUT jack, but when it is in position C, signals pass unaltered through it from the C IN to the 2 OUT jack. Similar statements can be made about switches 3 and 4. The K IN signal is routed through the MAC via UART 50 to the K OUT jack when switch 5 is in position K, otherwise the K IN and K OUT signals are equal. The C IN or 1 IN signal selected by switch 1 in position C or I respectively is routed through the MAC to the 1 OUT jack when switch 5 is in position S1, otherwise the 1 OUT and selected signals are equal. The Router can therefore route signals from the C IN, 1 IN, or K IN jacks through the MAC for the desired address conversion.
Turning now to the MAC, its block diagram, FIG. 1, will be considered first, followed by the details of each block. Serial data from the Router, after conversion to parallel data by UART 50, appears on data bus D1-D8 as byte D input to Adder 51 and Controller 52. The amount to be added or subtracted to a MIDI address is input to the Adder as byte Q from the Increment Selector 53 via bus Q1-Q8. Byte B output by the Adder to the UART via bus B1-B8 depends upon the logic state of control lines C1 and C2. If (C1,C2)=(1,1) then B=D. If (C1,C2)=(0,1) then B=D -Q. If (C1,C2)=(1,0) then B=D+Q+1. Byte B is converted to serial data by the UART and sent back to the Router. The Controller receives information about the sign of the increment via control line C3 on which the voltage is high for plus and low for minus. Referring to the control lines between the UART and the Controller, DAV stands for Data Available, TBMT stands for Transmitter Buffer Empty, and DS stands for Data Strobe. DAV goes high each time a new byte appears on D1-D8. TBMT goes high when the transmitter buffer becomes ready to accept new data. A low going strobe on DS will then cause DAV to go low, and Byte B to be loaded into the transmitter buffer. The rising edge of the strobe will cause transmission to begin and TMBT to go low.
The preferred UART is Intersil's IM6402 which is wired into the MAC exactly as shown in FIG. 4. The circuitry involving the Schmitt trigger connected to pin 21 of the UART is required because the IM6402 must be reset after power-up in order to function properly. The frequency of clock 49, FIG. 1, should be 500 kilohertz so that the UART will operate at 31.25 kilobaud as required by MIDI standards.
The Adder, which must also be able to subtract, may be built with EXCLUSIVE OR gates, etc., but it is most conveniently constructed with two of RCA's 40181 Arithmetic Logic Units connected and wired into the MAC as shown in FIG. 5. It will then function as stated above with regard to control lines C1 and C2.
The Controller, shown in detail in FIG. 2, is complex because it must perform many functions. It must cause the Adder to add or subtract, as desired, the amount which has been entered into the Increment Selector by the person operating the device, to the first data byte following a Key On or Key Off Status Byte when the Key Change mode (switch 55 in position KC) has been selected by the operator. It must do this however, only if the key's channel number is in the range chosen by channel range select switch 56 with positions labeled 1-8 and ALL. In the Control Change mode (switch 55 in position CC) only the first data byte (with D7 low) following a Control Change Status Byte should be incremented. The restriction on D7 is due to the fact that the musician does not want the sustain pedal control number altered while other control numbers are being incremented.
To simplify the following discussion a data byte which should be incremented will be called a Select Data Byte and the Status Byte immediately preceding it will be called a Select Status Byte. In the Key Change on all channels mode a Select Status Byte would be 100Xcccc where ccc represents the bits of an arbitrary channel number and X, which is 1 for Key On and 0 for Key Off, is arbitrary. In the Key Change on channels 1-8 mode a Select Status byte would be 100X0ccc because the channel number would be greater than 8 if bit D4=1. In the Control Change mode a Select Status byte would be 1011cccc. Comparator 54 makes EQ high (logic 1) only when bits X1-X4 are equal respectively to bits Y1-Y4, i.e., EQ is high only if X=Y. The effect of comparator 54, mode switches 55 and 56, and the D bus connected as shown is to make EQ high only when a Select Status Byte is present on the D bus. However, D bus data is not valid while it is being clocked onto the bus. Since DAV goes high at the moment when the D bus data becomes valid we can be sure that a valid Select Status Byte is present on the D bus only if both EQ and DAV are high which would make the output of NAND gate 58 low. Therefore, the arrival of a valid Select Status Byte is indicated by a high to low transition at the input of toggle flip flop 63 which causes its Q output to go high. This causes the output of 57 to go low which causes the Q output of 62 to go high. We can now say that a Flag (Q output of 62) has been set to indicate that the next data byte will be a Select Status Byte. The setting of the Flag did not cause any change at the output of AND gate 67 because the T input of 62 went low before Q went high. Therefore Select 76 is still low after the Flag has been set.
The sole purpose of the circuit involving 59, 60, 64, 65, 66, and 69 is to provide a low going strobe (whose width depends upon the RC time constant of 65 and 69) on DS each time new valid data appears on bus D and the transmitter buffer becomes empty. The strobe will reset DAV and cause byte B, output from the adder, to be loaded into the transmitter buffer of the UART which begins transmission to the router at the rising edge of the strobe. TBMT also goes low at the rising edge of the strobe. This low signal which is inverted by 61 will cause flip flops 62 and 63 to be reset by AND gate 68 only if Select 76 is high.
Once the Flag has been set by the arrival of a Select Status Byte as explained above, the subsequent arrival of a valid Select Data Byte will make EQ low which will cause Select 76 to go high via the action of gates 57 and 67.
A high on Select indicates that the data present on bus D should be incremented unless D7 is high in the Control Change Mode. As explained above, this restriction is necessary to avoid the problem with the sustain pedal. It is therefore necessary to gate Select, D7, and Y1 with gates 70, 71 and 72 as shown. We can then say, with no restrictions, that whenever Enable 77 is high, the data on bus D must be incremented. The sign of the increment is plus when the logic state of control line C3 from the Increment Selector is high and minus when it is low. Enable 77 and C3, connected to 73, 74 and 75 as shown, will cause control signals to be sent to the Adder 51 via C1 and C2 which will cause it to add when Enable 77 and C3 are high, subtract when Enable 77 is high and C3 is low, and make B and D bus data equal when Enable 77 is low.
It will be appreciated that in FIG. 2, all grounds shown are logic 0 and the points labelled 5V are logic 1.
The Increment Selector is shown in more detail in FIG. 3. When the normally closed push button labeled Increment Counter is pressed, a debounced pulse causes byte Q, output by the binary counter to the Adder 51 and the display, to be incremented by one. The Reset button is used to clear the counter. The switch makes the logic state of C3 high when in the ADD position and low in the position labeled SUB as required. The red or green LED tells the operator, even in the dark, whether addition or subtraction is being performed, while the display indicates how much. The display may be a simple binary LED display or a 7 segment LED display with the usual decoders and drivers.
All chips not previously specified should preferably be high speed CMOS with part numbers beginning with 74HC. The toggle flip flops used in the Controller may be improvised from 74HC393 dual binary counters.
While this invention has been shown and described in connection with a particular preferred embodiment, it is apparent that various changes and modifiations, in addition to those mentioned above, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the basic featues of the invention. For example, a mere regrouping of components, e.g., gates 70 through 75 in FIG. 2 being considered a part of the Adder in FIG. 5 rather than part of the controller, could lead to a different block diagram and different schematics for each block. In such a case, the actual physical system would be unchanged but its description would be different. More simple subsystems (with reduced capabilities) could obviously be produced by eliminating various components from the preferred embodiment. For example, if one required a device capable of transposition only, then only one input and one output jack would be needed, and all routing, mode, and channel select switches, and several gates and connections could be eliminated. Although the controller in FIG. 2 is particularly well suited for use in the MIDI Address Converter of this invention, it will be understood that the controller or subsystems thereof, may be used for other applications with slight modifications if necessary. For example, it may be used to render normally incompatible digital devices compatible with each other by suitably altering the data being transmitted. Accordingly, it is intended to protect such subsystems and all other variations and modifications of the preferred embodiment which are within the true spirit and valid scope of this invention.

The driving force of pro-life logic is that we should never interrupt life growing inside a mother. The moral foundation is that God placed that life there, and we are not to trifle with it.
But the case of Marlise Muñoz is not so simple. If abortion is a thwarting of God's will, what about a mother who lies brain dead with a baby still in her womb? Those seeking to invoke God may say protect the baby at all costs, but others claiming the same inspiration may say God's will seemed to be for both to leave this life.
Her family believes Marlise and the child should be together in heaven. Who are we to disagree? Who is the state of Texas to require mothers to stay on life support against the wishes of their families?
I'll tell you who we are. We are the only side taking up for the baby.
Amid coverage of the family's anguish and the young couple's conversations about end-of-life decisions, where do we place the possibility of a superseding factor — the life of the child?
We have heard much about Marlise and husband Erick's discussions about their shared wish to avoid extended life support when recovery is impossible. I have heard no one say those wishes applied even if it meant sacrificing her baby.
We have also heard much about the dicey proposition under these circumstances of keeping a baby alive inside the mother, dismissively called an incubator by those eager to pull her plug.
I cannot imagine her family's grief. But as we watch the suffering parents share their side, as the bereaved husband challenges the law keeping his child alive, can we maybe take a moment to consider someone unavailable for interviews right now?
There is a child who is not dead growing inside this woman who is. It is an unsettling disconnect, this once-vibrant woman stilled by brain death, still able to provide the womb that could bring this child forth to be loved as a new baby and grandbaby, bringing a living piece of Marlise into the world to be cherished by this husband, by these parents, by somebody.
This is not like abortion, which is the willful taking of a life that deserves to be left alone to flourish. There is a strong argument for letting nature take what seemed to be its course in Marlise's case. But there is a strong argument that this baby's life outweighs the wishes of a father and grandparents who just want to "say goodbye," as so many articles put it.
Maybe it's not time to say goodbye to this baby, who may show signs of plausible good health as soon as next month. We are all moved by the TV images of the couple's healthy first baby calling for his mother. But that child has a little brother or sister who is alive as we speak. If we are going to devote time to a family's fight to "say goodbye" to Marlise, can we take even a moment of pause to consider the worthiness of efforts undertaken so that these children might one day meet?
This is not my decision to make for them; I'm not even sure I approve of the state making it for them. I simply imagine a family blessed very soon with a new life that helps them heal from the one they lost, and I wish that image carried as much weight as the concerns of here and now.
The Mark Davis Show airs from 7 to 10 a.m. weekdays on KSKY (660 AM). He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Water and Fire
On March 5, 2015 -
film video
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to direct two very different shoots for CBS. The first was an underwater shoot for a Survivor promo, promoting the show's 30th season premiere. The concept handed down to us from CBS was that Survivor's new season would divide teams up by white collar professionals, blue collar workers and "No Collars" which the show defined as self-employed entrepreneurs. My job, with the production support of
Moving Parts
, Inc., was to capture underwater footage of three individuals (each representing the visual stereotype of the Survivor teams) making their first plunge below the surface. Our day of casting made for an interesting experience considering I was asking actors to perform as though they were submerged. The session was more about getting a vibe from the actor about his/her comfort underwater. At the end of the day, I was certain the three actors we chose to represent white collar, blue collar and no collar would be up to the challenge a lot of fun to work with (which is always important).
For our underwater pool/tank, we used Acton Scuba Services, which provided a deep enough drop for us to get a full body plunge in the water. My DP,
Tom Camarda
, and I decided on Alexa and planned to shoot both 96 and 120 fps throughout the course of the day. Watching an expensive camera go underwater is a scary thing, but the team at
had the camera outfitted properly and made for an efficient set. The camera team was on point and adapted really well to the variables of water, talent and light. In addition to the standard wide shot, I was aiming for the illusion of happy accidents… finding focus on items that go rogue once the actor is underwater (shoes, boots, briefcase papers). Everyone picked up on this desire immediately and it was just a matter of running the action a few times until all the pieces fell into place.
Thankfully the water was warm.
Before I asked any of my actors to jump in, I made the plunge myself to get a sense of what I was I asking for and how difficult it would be to maneuver underwater fully clothed. I've never met warmer waters and our actors agreed it was more pleasant to stay underwater than it was to come back out into the breezy desert air. Plus, if there's water on set… I feel the need to jump in.
Also, hats off to our propsmaker, Charles. He made a last minute decision to use tyvek for the white collar actor's briefcase papers. It allowed us to have the fluidity of water under paper without the material breaking down after one or two takes…. clouding up the water.
It was a great day and the client was very happy. And where does the fire come in? That will be for another blog.

Summary (from Goodreads): Anax thinks she knows her history. She'd better. She's now facing three Examiners, and her grueling all-day Examination has just begun. If she passes, she'll be admitted into the Academy—the elite governing institution of her utopian society.
But Anax is about to discover that for all her learning, the history she's been taught isn't the whole story. And that the Academy isn't what she believes it to be.In this brilliant novel of dazzling ingenuity, Anax's examination leads us into a future where we are confronted with unresolved questions raised by science and philosophy. Centuries old, these questions have gained new urgency in the face of rapidly developing technology. What is consciousness? What makes us human? If artificial intelligence were developed to a high enough capability, what special status could humanity still claim?
Review: I've been after this book for a couple of months since I saw this edition of the book- there are several different covers and this is probably one of my favourite. It seems the most symbolic of the nature of the book, or rather to what it really is about: a man and a robot. For instamce, the cover of the edition that I actually read looks like this, and while nice enough (okay, absolutely beautiful) is actually slightly irrelevant. No. This cover is simplistic and seems to sum things up perfectly.
Genesis is not dystopian fiction, as is all the range in YA nowadays what with Uglies and The Hunger Games and such. Nay, quite the opposite. The world in Genesis seems kind of like the world in Allegra Goodman's The Other Side of the Island, but seemingly not as sinister and disturbing in an overly-perfect kind of way. You seem to get the impression that despite a few shady goings-on and experimentswith robots, the sealed island, all seems to be functioning well to compared with how things were on Earth before. Speaking of which, I can't tell whether or not I liked the massive dump of information at the beginning of the book. To provide the adjudicators some background, Anaximander basically catches the reader up on what's been occurring on Earth throughout the mid-21st century- Wars, oil crises, disease and bad things, in general. So it's useful to have such a summary, even though it's entirely for the readers' sake.
The writing style is quite unusual. The whole book takes place in a four-hour entrance exam to the mysterious Academy taken by fourteen-year-old Anaximander (I'll get to Anax in a minute). It alternates between a calm, distant sort of third-person and transcripts, which makes for pretty interesting reading. Parts of the book seemed to unfold almost like a film in front of the reader, the ending in particular, which is completely unexpected (I'll also get to that in a minute).
It's kind of hard to talk about Anaximander, mostly because the true protagonist of the story is Adam Forde, Anax's historical hero. Still, you know that Anax is strong, determinded and very intelligent indeed. Read Genesis and be amazed at her speeches and opinions on consciousness that go on occasionally for pages.
Adam is also hugely (and even more) likeable. Perhaps it's because of all the interesting questions that the book asks about humanity, he seems like a perfect example of all that is life. He's clever but foolish, witty but arrogant, confident but headstrong. His flaws and numerous imperfections are actually what make him so perfect a character. I was probably grinning like a twit as I read the deep discussions between him and Art, the robot he stays with for several months, for his sheer perfection and awesomeness.
Speaking of which, you've got to love Art. He's witty and snarky in a hilariously automated sort of way, but not outright entertaining so much as thoughtful at the same time. The dialogue between Adam and Art leaves the reader constantly switching sides. One minute you think that Art's in the right, and then the next Adam has his comeback and you're rooting for him.
There's very little action in Genesis at all, so it's not thrilling in that sense. But the ideas, the story itself and the big questions about what makes a human human are so intriguing you can't help but devour the book faster than you can say Philosophy. It reminds me a lot of Sophie's World with all the deep discussions about life and the universe and so on, as well as some of the monologues and longer speeches which seem like Bernard Beckett is asking his own questions, and then thinking up answers for them as he goes along.
The ending was...weird, with a lack of any better description. It was probably the only thing that stops Genesis being rated a 5. It was kind of rushed, unexplained and "oh. What just happened there?" It's hard to describe without much of what happens being given away. So I'll just leave that a mystery and say: meh. It was a shame that the book had to end like that.
In Three Words: Refreshing, deep, thought-provoking.
Recommended for: anyone who wants a change from the norm.
Rating: 4.

VIDEO - Belgians drink less beer
26/06/10 - Beer consumption in Belgium continues to drop. 20 years ago, the average Belgian drank 121 litres of beer each year. Last year, this was only 81 litres. Still, the Belgian beer brewers don't have to panic as export figures are excellent, especially in the United States.
