For an application to survive in the GUI world today, it must support at least the ever-present "Cut, Copy, and Paste" functions to which users have grown so attached. GEOS makes this very simple through the Clipboard and Quick-Transfer mechanisms.
All applications should support and use these mechanisms in order to maintain consistency throughout the system. In addition, these mechanisms provide certain functionality for data transfer that can be easily used.
To understand this chapter fully, you should have a working knowledge of Virtual Memory management as well as some familiarity with the concepts of mouse input. However, the concepts of the Clipboard and quick-transfer mechanisms are simple and may be understood without having read those sections.

The user understands two ways to cut and paste information: The first is to use the Edit menu and the Cut , Copy , and Paste functions. The second is to use the mouse by selecting and dragging text, graphics, or objects with the quick-copy and quick-move functions. For a full description of how these two operations are accomplished, see the user's guide provided in the Geoworks retail products.
Both these functions use similar data structures; a single flag determines whether the operation is a quick-transfer or a normal Clipboard operation. However, the procedures and rules of usage have significant differences.
You should be familiar with the features and uses of both the Clipboard and the quick-transfer mechanism. If you are, you can skip this section; however, if you are not familiar with the features and rules governing the Edit menu and the quick-transfer operations, you most likely will want to read this section.
Even the simplest, text-using applications provide an Edit menu with the Cut , Copy , and Paste options.
The Edit menu works with a hidden data area called the Clipboard . The Clipboard has no visual representation, and it can contain any format of data from text to graphics strings to custom formats defined by applications. The Clipboard's structure and implementation are completely invisible to the user beyond the functions Cut , Copy , and Paste .
The most common use of the Edit menu is within a word processor or draw program. For example, when a user wants to place a graphic from GeoDraw into GeoWrite, or when he wants to rearrange text in his NotePad, he can use the cut, copy, and paste operations.
When a user selects an item such as the word "puddle," the Cut option becomes enabled. This indicates that the user can remove the selection from the document and it will be placed on the Clipboard (anything already on the Clipboard will be replaced with the selection). When nothing is selected, the Cut option is disabled.
In order to enable the Copy option, the user must select an item, just as with Cut . Copying, however, will not remove the selection from the document--it will simply create a copy of the selection and place it on the Clipboard, removing whatever had previously been on the Clipboard.
Pasting is allowed only when something in a compatible data format is already sitting on the Clipboard. The Paste operation copies what is on the Clipboard into a document at the current insertion point (in the case of text, this is where the cursor was last placed); if something is already selected, the selection will be replaced with the pasted material. If there is nothing on the Clipboard, then there is nothing to paste; therefore, the option is disabled.
The user can copy and move selected items without using the Edit menu; he simply drags the item using the quick-transfer button of his mouse, and the item will be either copied or moved.
There are several rules which govern whether a move or copy is taking place. The user can override these rules with a certain set of keypresses to force either a copy or move. Copy is equivalent to using the Copy and Paste functions in succession, and move is equivalent to using the Cut and Paste functions in succession.
The operation of a quick transfer (move or copy), however, depends on whether the transfer is across documents or internal to a single document. If the transfer is internal, it should become a move. If the transfer occurs across documents, it should become a copy. (Note that, for the purposes of quick-transfer, the term document is used to refer to anything the user will conceptually view as a single data holder--for example, a GeoManager "document" consists of one disk.)
Because not all documents will support a given transfer operation (for example, a text file editor can not receive a GeoDraw graphic), the user is provided with immediate feedback about the type and validity of the transfer.
For example, if a GeoDraw ellipse was selected and a quick-transfer was begun, immediately the mouse pointer would show the transfer as a move operation. As the user moves the mouse outside the GeoDraw document and into another GeoDraw document, the cursor changes to indicate a copy operation. If the user then moves the mouse over a text-only document, a "no operation," or "invalid," cursor would be shown, indicating that the ellipse could not be received.
Some applications may implement an additional feature that provides feedback to the user: modifying the source object as the type of transfer changes. For example, a drawing program may wish to alter the shape or color of an object while it is being quick-moved but leave it normal during a quick-copy or no-operation transfer.
Both the Clipboard and quick-transfer mechanisms use similar structures to accomplish data transfer. These data structures are owned and managed by the GEOS User Interface; however, they are accessible to all geodes in the system through a number of routines and messages.
The Clipboard consists of a VM file known as the Transfer VM File. The quick-transfer mechanism uses the same file for its data transfer. Typically, this is a file designated and managed by the User Interface.
In addition, certain formats of data are supported automatically--GEOS text and graphics strings are special formats that are described below. Geodes can create their own specific formats; for example, GeoManager uses a special format for quick-transfer of files between disks and directories.
The Transfer VM File is a normal VM file, managed by the UI. It contains several components, each of which is accessed through special routines that take care of nearly all the synchronization issues involved with the Clipboard and quick-transfer mechanisms. Because both the Clipboard and the quick-transfer mechanism use this file and its data structures, these structures are detailed here; the following section ( Using The Clipboard ) details how to use them for either the Clipboard or the quick-transfer mechanism.
The Transfer VM File has one header block for the Clipboard transfer item and another for the quick-transfer transfer item. These headers have the same structure, and they contain all the information necessary to work with the file's contents. They contain pointers to and information about each format available for both the Clipboard and the quick-transfer functions. The transfer item's header is shown in ClipboardItemHeader .
Code Display 7-1 ClipboardItemHeader
/* The ClipboardItemHeader structure details what formats, if any, exist in the * Transfer VM File for both the Clipboard and quick-transfer mechanisms.*/
typedef struct {
/* The CIH_owner field is the optr of the object that put * the current transfer item into the Transfer VM File. */ optr CIH_owner;
/* The CIH_flags field determines whether the transfer item is used by * the quick transfer mechanism or by the normal Clipboard. If this * field is equal to the constant CIF_QUICK, then the transfer item * belongs to the quick transfer mechanism. If it is any other value, * the transfer item belongs to the normal Clipboard. */ ClipboardItemFlags CIH_flags; /* The ClipboardItemFlags type has one predefined value: * CIF_QUICK 0x4000 * If this flag does not apply, use TIF_NORMAL, which is 0x0000. */
/* The CIH_name field is a 33-character buffer that should contain a * null-terminated character string representing the name of the given * transfer item. */ ClipboardItemNameBuffer CIH_name;
/* The CIH_formatCount field indicates the number of formats of the * transfer item currently available. For example, this field would be * 2 if CIF_TEXT and CIF_GRAPHICS_STRING formats were supported and * available in the Transfer VM File. */ word CIH_formatCount;
/* The CIH_sourceID field contains information about the source * document of the transfer. Typically, this will be the optr of the * parent GenDocument object. */ dword CIH_sourceID;
/* The CIH_formats field is actually an array of ten * ClipboardFormatInfo structures, each of which contains the * important details about a specific format of the transfer item. */ FormatArray CIH_formats;
/* This field is reserved and should not be used. */ dword CIH_reserved; } ClipboardItemHeader ;
/* The FormatArray type is an array of ClipboardItemFormatInfo structures. The * definition of this field is shown here: */
typedef ClipboardItemFormatInfo FormatArray[CLIPBOARD_MAX_FORMATS]; /* CLIPBOARD_MAX_FORMATS is a constant defining the maximum number of * formats allowed for any given transfer item. It is defined as 10. */
The rest of the Transfer VM File consists of VM blocks containing the data that is to be transferred. Each format supported will have its own VM block or series of VM blocks, pointed to by the
ClipboardItemFormatInfo
structure in the item's header.
The Transfer VM File actually contains two transfer items: One for the Clipboard and one for the quick-transfer mechanism (see the figure below). When calling
ClipboardQueryItem()
, the requesting geode must specify which item it wants. See Using The Clipboard
and Using Quick-Transfer
.
This structure contains information about a specific format of the transfer item. The Transfer VM File will support up to ten formats of a given item at once (for both the Clipboard and quick-transfer); each of these formats is stored in its own VM block or VM chain and is represented in the header by a
ClipboardItemFormatInfo
structure in the array
CIH_formats
.
The
ClipboardItemFormatInfo
structure contains other information about the specific format as well as space for two extra words of data. The structure is shown in ClipboardItemFormatInfo
.
Each element in the
CIH_formats
array contains two items: One word represents the manufacturer ID of the geode responsible for the format (useful if a custom format is used within several applications from a single manufacturer), and the other represents the actual format number. To combine these words into a
ClipboardItemFormatID
record, or to extract either word from the record, use the macros shown after ClipboardItemFormatInfo
.
Code Display 7-2 ClipboardItemFormatInfo
/* The ClipboardItemFormatInfo structure contains information about a given * format of the transfer item. */
typedef struct { /* CIFI_format contains a format ID as well as the * manufacturer ID of the geode responsible for the format. */ ClipboardItemFormatID CIFI_format;
/* CIFI_extra1 and CIFI_extra2 are extra words provided for * format-specific use. */ word CIFI_extra1; word CIFI_extra2;
/* CIFI_vmChain is a VM handle pointing to the first block in the * specific format. */ VMChain CIFI_vmChain;
/* CIFI_renderer contains the token of the geode that created * the format. */ GeodeToken CIFI_renderer; } ClipboardItemFormatInfo ;
Two structures are used with specific routines when dealing with the transfer mechanisms. The
ClipboardQueryArgs
structure is returned by
ClipboardQueryItem()
, and the
ClipboardRequestArgs
structure is returned by
ClipboardRequestItemFormat()
. Both routines are used during a Paste operation, and both structures are shown in ClipboardQueryArgs and ClipboardRequestArgs
.
Note that the
CQA_header
field is of type
TransferBlockID
. This type is a dword made up of two word-sized components: a VM file handle and a VM block handle. The three macros listed after ClipboardQueryArgs and ClipboardRequestArgs
can be used to create the
TransferBlockID
argument and extract either of the components from the whole.
Code Display 7-3 ClipboardQueryArgs and ClipboardRequestArgs
/* ClipboardQueryArgs is filled by ClipboardQueryItem(), which is called when * determining whether a transfer item exists. */ typedef struct { word CQA_numFormats; /* the total number of formats available */ optr CQA_owner; /* the optr of the originating object */ TransferBlockID CQA_header; /* The combined VM file handle and VM block * handle of the block containing the * ClipboardItemHeader */ } ClipboardQueryArgs;
/* ClipboardRequestArgs is filled by ClipboardRequestItemFormat(), which is called * when the application wants to retrieve the current transfer item. */ typedef struct { VMFileHandle CRA_file; /* The VM file handle of the transfer file */ VMChain CRA_data; /* The handle of the VM chain containing the * transfer item */ word CRA_extra1; /* an extra word of data */ word CRA_extra2; /* another extra word of data */ } ClipboardRequestArgs;
There are several built-in transfer formats that many GEOS applications may support; each of these types is an enumeration of
ClipboardItemFormat
. Additionally, custom formats can be defined to allow special data structures to be cut, copied, pasted, or quick-transferred without translation into text or graphics strings. The Transfer VM File may contain up to ten formats of a given transfer item.
ClipboardItemFormat
is shown below.
typedef enum /* word */ { CIF_TEXT, CIF_GRAPHICS_STRING, CIF_FILES, CIF_SPREADSHEET, CIF_INK, CIF_GROBJ, CIF_GEODEX, CIF_BITMAP, CIF_SOUND_SYNTH, CIF_SOUND_SAMPLE } ClipboardItemFormat;
A transfer item of CIF_TEXT format is headed by a
TextTransferBlockHeader
structure. The text follows this header in the VM chain. A transfer item of CIF_GRAPHICS_STRING format is simply the entire GString stored in the transfer VM file in the VM chain.
Because every format identifier has two components, it is highly unlikely that two different designers will create overlapping custom formats.
The format is defined as a
ClipboardItemFormatID
type, which is a dword composed of two word-sized pieces. The first piece is a constant representing the format ID number (such as CIF_TEXT or CIF_GRAPHICS_STRING). The second piece is a constant representing the Manufacturer ID number of the manufacturer responsible for creating the format.
To create a custom format, simply define these two items as appropriate (your Manufacturer ID should be set already). Then define your format to fit within the structures used by the Clipboard (shown above).
ClipboardQueryItem(), ClipboardRegisterItem(), ClipboardDoneWithItem()
To use the Clipboard, your application must have an Edit menu (or a GenEditControl object) and an object which can implement the Cut, Copy, and Paste operations. This object is often the application's Process object or some other coordinating object. This object must be able to do each of the things in the following list:
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_NORMAL_TRANSFER_ITEM_CHANGED
and
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_TRANSFER_ITEM_FREED
.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_COPY,
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_CUT
When the user issues a Cut or Copy order, the object must put the proper data into the Clipboard Transfer VM File.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_PASTE
When the user issues a Paste order, the object must query the Clipboard to ensure a proper format is available and then copy the information from the Clipboard.Because the Clipboard is constantly in use by many different threads, you must always gain exclusive access to the transfer VM file when you want to use it. After you're done with the transfer file, you should relinquish exclusive access so other threads can continue to use it.
For operations that involve changing the transfer item (cut and copy, for example), you must register your new transfer item with
ClipboardRegisterItem()
, which also allows other threads to use the file.
For operations that involve looking at but not changing the transfer item, you should use
ClipboardQueryItem()
.
Since you have no changes to register, you must later use
ClipboardDoneWithItem()
to give up your exclusive access to the transfer VM file.
Registering with the Clipboard
Unregistering with the Clipboard
ClipboardAddToNotificationList()
Because the Clipboard is a system entity available to all geodes, another thread may change it without your application noticing. The Clipboard therefore provides notification for this case. Because the Clipboard does not know which geodes are interested in its contents, however, applications must register when they first start up.
Calling
ClipboardAddToNotificationList()
allows an application to add an object to the list of those notified of changes to the Clipboard. This routine should be called by whichever object is going to be handling the Cut, Copy, and Paste operations, typically in the object's
MSG_META_INITIALIZE
handler. If the object handling the Clipboard operations is the application's Process object, however, it may call
ClipboardAddToNotificationList()
in its
MSG_GEN_PROCESS_OPEN_APPLICATION
handler.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_NORMAL_TRANSFER_ITEM_CHANGED, ClipboardTestItemFormat()
The Edit menu is simply a normal menu with several standard triggers. Most applications will simply include a GenEditControl object in their UI, add a menu GenInteraction of type GIGT_EDIT_MENU, and leave the Edit menu construction up to them (see The GenEditControl ). Some, however, may want to create their own menu and triggers. A sample of this type of setup is shown in A Sample Edit Menu .
Code Display 7-4 A Sample Edit Menu
/* Other objects, including a GenPrimary as the parent of the GenInteraction, are * left out for clarity. */
/* The GenInteraction is the menu in which the three triggers will appear. */ @object GenInteractionClass EditMenu = { GI_visMoniker = `E', "Edit"; GI_comp = EditCut, EditCopy, EditPaste; GII_visibility = GIV_POPUP; }
/* The Cut trigger sends a MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_CUT to the Process * object when pressed. */ @object GenTriggerClass EditCut = { GI_visMoniker = `t', "Cut"; GTI_destination = process; GTI_actionMsg = MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_CUT; }
/* The Copy trigger sends a MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_COPY to the * Process object when pressed. */ @object GenTriggerClass EditCopy = { GI_visMoniker = `C', "Copy"; GTI_destination = process; GTI_actionMsg = MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_COPY; }
/* the Paste trigger is set up initially disabled. It sends a * MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_PASTE to the Process object when pressed. */
@object GenTriggerClass EditPaste = { GI_visMoniker = `P', "Paste"; GTI_destination = process; GTI_actionMsg = MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_PASTE; GI_states = @default & ~GS_ENABLED; }
Some Edit menus may also contain other triggers such as "Delete Event," or "Remove Item." These triggers, however, are not standard and must be implemented exclusively by the application.
Two main rules govern the maintenance of the Edit menu:
The first rule must be implemented entirely by the application; the Clipboard will not enable or disable the Copy or Cut triggers. The second rule, however, requires that the application be notified whenever the Clipboard's contents change--it is possible, for example, for the application to copy data to the Clipboard, enable its Paste trigger, and have another application then also copy some custom data to the Clipboard. In this case, the original application must disable its Paste trigger if it can not read the data.
Whenever the Clipboard's contents change, the UI will send notification to all objects that have registered with it. The notification will be in the message
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_NORMAL_TRANSFER_ITEM_CHANGED
. Use of this message can be found in the ClipSamp sample application.
Code Display 7-5 Handling Clipboard Changes
/* MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_NORMAL_TRANSFER_ITEM_CHANGED is sent with no * parameters and requires no return value. */
/* The strategy of this message is to first check whether the CIF_TEXT format, the * only format supported by this sample application, is available on the Clipboard. * If so, the Paste trigger is enabled; if not, the Paste trigger is disabled. */
@method MyClipProcessClass, MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_NORMAL_TRANSFER_ITEM_CHANGED { ClipboardQueryArgs query; /* A structure of arguments */ Boolean endisable = FALSE; /* The trigger is disabled */
/* Call ClipboardQueryItem() to gain exclusive access to and information about * the current transfer item. Pass it zero indicating we're checking the * normal transfer item (not the quick-transfer item) and the empty arguments * structure. */ ClipboardQueryItem(TIF_NORMAL, &query);
/* If there are any formats, then test if CIF_TEXT is one of them. The routine * ClipboardTestItemFormat() tests a format against all those available and * returns true if it is supported, false if it is not. Use the macro * FormatIDFromManufacturerAndType to create the format argument. If CIF_TEXT * is not supported, then the enDisable argument is set to TRUE. */
if (query.CQA_numFormats) { if (ClipboardTestItemFormat(query.CQA_header, FormatIDFromManufacturerAndType(MANUFACTURER_ID_ME, CIF_TEXT))) { endisable = TRUE; } }
/* Because we've found out what we need to know, restore the Clipboard with a * call to ClipboardDoneWithItem(). This routine takes the transfer item's * header and returns nothing; it also relinquishes our exclusive * access to the Clipboard and is therefore very important. */
ClipboardDoneWithItem(query.CQA_header);
/* Now, if endisable is true, set the Paste trigger enabled. If endisable is * false, set it disabled. These operations are accomplished by sending the * appropriate message to the trigger object. */
if (endisable) { @call EditPaste::MSG_GEN_SET_ENABLED(VUM_NOW); } else { @call EditPaste::MSG_GEN_SET_NOT_ENABLED(VUM_NOW); } }
As stated above, most applications will simply let a GenEditControl object create and maintain their Edit menu.
GenEditControlClass
is a subclass of
GenControlClass
(see the Controllers chapter for usage of controllers in general).
The GenEditControl object can provide triggers and/or tools for Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Select All, and Delete operations. These operations must all be handled by your application, of course, just as if you did not use a GenEditControl; using this controller, however, simplifies your UI programming and allows the Edit tools to be used by the GenToolControl.
The features of the GenEditControl are listed below (they are flags of the
GECFeatures
record type):
MSG_META_UNDO
to the application's target.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_CUT
to the application's target.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_COPY
to the application's target.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_PASTE
to the application's target.
MSG_META_SELECT_ALL
to the applications' target.
MSG_META_DELETE
to the application's target.The GenEditControl also provides an equivalent set of tools. Each tool executes the exact same functions as the analogous feature; see GenEditControl Features and Tools for the listing of the features and tools as well as the standard settings.
The GenEditControl handles two different notification types: GWNT_SELECT_STATE_CHANGE, sent when the selection state changes, and GWNT_UNDO_STATE_CHANGE, sent when a state change in the Undo status occurs. In both cases, the GenEditControl will appropriately update the Cut, Copy, Paste, Delete, and Undo triggers (the Select All trigger will always be enabled).

MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_CUT, MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_COPY
Cut and Copy are very similar in function; both put data onto the Clipboard. However, Cut causes the data to subsequently be deleted from the document, and Copy does not.
When the user starts either of these operations, the object that handles them must go through a series of specific steps to load the data into the Clipboard's VM file. (For simplicity of example, this chapter will assume that the Process object will handle all Clipboard operations; this may not be the case in complex programs.)
The steps are simple; each is enumerated below, and edited examples from the sample application ClipSamp are provided in MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_CUT and MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_COPY . Note that these examples do not use the default text object handlers for copy and paste; they treat the entire text flow as the current selection.

MemAlloc()
and then simply attach them to the Transfer VM File with

ClipboardRemoveFromNotificationList()
Because the Clipboard sends notification out to all registered geodes, geodes must "unregister" when they are shutting down. Otherwise, the Clipboard will attempt to send a message to a defunct object, and this can cause problems for the operating system. Therefore, in your
MSG_GEN_PROCESS_CLOSE_APPLICATION
handler you should make a call to the routine
ClipboardRemoveFromNotificationList()
, which removes the passed object from the notification list.
For the most part, implementation of Undo is left up to the application. This is due to the fact that operations that may be undone are typically very application-specific. The text objects and the Ink object are the only exceptions to this; they provide their own Undo functions in response to
MSG_META_UNDO
. For more information on Undo and how it works in GEOS, see the MetaClass chapter.
ClipboardTestItemFormat(), ClipboardEnumItemFormats(), ClipboardGetItemInfo(), ClipboardGetNormalItemInfo(), ClipboardGetUndoItemInfo(), ClipboardGetClipboardFile()
With the following routines, you can get information about any of the transfer files in use.
ClipboardTestItemFormat()
ClipboardQueryItem()
to get the transfer item header.
ClipboardEnumItemFormats()
ClipboardQueryItem()
to get the transfer item header.
ClipboardGetItemInfo()
ClipboardQueryItem()
to get the transfer item header.
ClipboardGetNormalItemInfo()
ClipboardGetUndoItemInfo()
ClipboardGetClipboardFile()
ClipboardUnregisterItem()
Using
ClipboardUnregisterItem()
, you can revert one level of clipboard changes. Note that this works for only one level; there is no way to back out more than one change to the clipboard. This routine can not "undo" itself; that is, calling this routine twice in a row will leave the clipboard in a state other than the original state.
An application must understand the Clipboard and its structure before being able to support the quick-transfer feature of the UI. However, because quick-transfer is such a convenient feature for users, every appropriate application should support it. To use the quick-transfer mechanism, you will probably want to understand how mouse input is handled.
The quick-transfer mechanism makes extensive use of the Clipboard's data structures. However, this does not mean that when a quick-transfer is initiated, the Clipboard is altered. Instead, the Clipboard maintains a separate (but similar) data structure within the Transfer VM File.
When a transfer is in progress, the distinction between a normal transfer and a quick transfer is made with the flag CIF_QUICK. When passed to the transfer mechanism's routines, this flag indicates that the quick-transfer item should be accessed and the Clipboard data should remain intact.
Quick-Transfer Data Structures
In order for an application to support the quick-transfer mechanism, it must be able to handle several situations. The list below enumerates all the tasks the application must be ready to perform:
Applications should also understand the three rules that govern the behavior of a quick-transfer:
Although applications must handle several situations to support the quick-transfer mechanism, the procedure involved in a quick-transfer is quite simple. The steps of how a quick-transfer operation is performed are outlined below:
MSG_META_START_MOVE_COPY
to the object under the pointer image.
ClipboardStartQuickTransfer()
to initiate the quick-transfer mechanism. It then builds the transfer item just as it would if the user had clicked on the Copy trigger in the Edit menu. It then logs the transfer item with the quick-transfer mechanism.
ClipboardSetQuickTransferFeedback()
. If the source object is a visible object in a GenView, it must also send the message
MSG_VIS_VUP_ALLOW_GLOBAL_TRANSFER
to itself to allow the pointer events to be sent to other objects in other windows (because the GenView grabs the mouse on the press).
MSG_META_PTR
should check if a quick transfer is in progress by either checking the passed event flags or by calling
ClipboardGetQuickTransferStatus()
. The object should, in response, provide feedback as to whether it can accept the transfer item or not. It calls
ClipboardSetQuickTransferFeedback()
with the proper feedback signal.
MSG_META_END_MOVE_COPY
from the UI).
ClipboardGetQuickItemInfo()
on the transfer item. If it can handle the item, it calls
ClipboardQueryItem()
, grabs the transfer item, and finally calls
ClipboardEndQuickTransfer()
.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_QUICK_TRANSFER_CONCLUDED
to the source object, informing it about the final outcome of the operation. Some source objects will change shape, shading, or color during a quick-transfer and must know when the transfer is concluded. If the operation is a quick-move, the source must delete the information or object that was moved.The quick-transfer mechanism uses the same structures as the Clipboard. However, there are special data structures that are used exclusively by the quick-transfer mechanism. These data structures are used by individual UI routines and are documented with those routines.
MSG_META_START_MOVE_COPY, ClipboardStartQuickTransfer(), MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_QUICK_TRANSFER_FEEDBACK
When the user presses the move/copy button, the UI sends a
MSG_META_START_MOVE_COPY
to the object under the mouse pointer. The selected object can be either a gadget run in the UI thread (such as a GenText object) or a process-run visible object within a view.
If the object is a process-run visible object in a view, both the application object and the object under the mouse pointer will receive the notification message. If the object is UI-run, only it will receive the message.
Receipt of this message tells an object to begin a quick-transfer operation. This operation consists of several steps:
The reason for providing feedback to the quick-transfer mechanism is simple: to indicate to the user what is going on. By giving information to the quick-transfer mechanism, objects allow the user to be informed immediately what type of operation is in progress--a move, a copy, or nothing at all.
Immediately after your object has grabbed the mouse, it should call the routine
ClipboardStartQuickTransfer()
. This routine allows the object not only to indicate which type of operation is in progress but also to attach a special graphical region to the cursor (though not required). This allows the application to provide additional information to the user as to what is going on (e.g. GeoManager attaches an image when a file transfer is initiated).
You must also indicate to
ClipboardStartQuickTransfer()
the object that will receive notification when the transfer has concluded. This is important because when a quick-move has been completed, the source object must ensure that the original copy of the item (usually the source object itself) is deleted.
After calling
ClipboardStartQuickTransfer()
, the source object should duplicate and register the transfer item with the Transfer VM File. To do this, register the item as you normally would for a cut or copy operation (see Registering with the Clipboard
); however, be sure to use the flag CIF_QUICK to ensure that the normal Clipboard data remains unaffected.
Once the transfer item has been registered, the source object becomes a potential destination and should act as such. However, you may wish to continue to provide source-related visual feedback to the user as long as the quick-transfer is going on: During a quick-transfer, the source will receive
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_QUICK_TRANSFER_FEEDBACK
each time the mode of the quick-transfer changes. This message will tell the source object what the current mode of transfer is in order for the source to give extra visual feedback to the user. This behavior is not required of the source object but can be beneficial to your application. It is also supplemental to the destination-related feedback that must be provided.
ClipboardGetQuickTransferStatus(), ClipboardSetQuickTransferFeedback(), MSG_VIS_VUP_ALLOW_GLOBAL_TRANSFER, MSG_GEN_VIEW_ALLOW_GLOBAL_TRANSFER
All objects that can potentially receive a transfer item are considered potential destinations during a quick-transfer operation. During the operation, the user will likely move the mouse pointer across the screen, entering and leaving several different potential destinations.
When the mouse first moves over the object, the object will receive a
MSG_META_PTR
. When your object receives this message, it must provide immediate feedback to the transfer mechanism to indicate whether a move, a copy, or no operation is to be performed (the object should provide this feedback with the understanding that the operation type is what would happen if the transfer were to conclude at that moment).
When the first
MSG_META_PTR
is received, the object should call the routine
ClipboardGetQuickTransferStatus()
. This routine returns whether a quick-transfer is in progress; if so, the object should acquire a mouse grab in order to provide feedback until the mouse pointer leaves its bounds.
The object should then check the quick-transfer Clipboard for supported formats. This is done just as with the Clipboard--with the routine
ClipboardQueryItem()
. If no supported formats are available, the object should provide the "no operation" feedback. However, if one or more is available, the object should determine whether the operation is a move or copy (call
ClipboardGetItemInfo()
) and act accordingly.
To provide feedback, the object must call
ClipboardSetQuickTransferFeedback()
in its method for
MSG_META_PTR
.
This routine sets the mode of the transfer to one of the enumerated type
ClipboardQuickTransferFeedback
. If the format is not supported,
ClipboardSetQuickTransferFeedback()
is passed CQTF_CLEAR.
When the mouse has left an object's bounds, the object must relinquish its mouse grab. Either a
MSG_META_CONTENT_LOST_GADGET_EXCLUSIVE
or a
MSG_META_PTR
with the UIFA_IN flag cleared will indicate this situation to the object. The former occurs when the mouse has moved onto a window or other object that is obscuring your object, and the latter is a result of the mouse moving outside of your bounds altogether.
At this point, the object must do two things: Reset the mouse cursor and re-transmit the last mouse pointer event.
To reset the mouse pointer, call
ClipboardSetQuickTransferFeedback()
and pass it CQTF_CLEAR. This will set the default cursor. To re-send the last pointer event received (you must do this because the last one occurred outside your object's bounds and might have been within another object's bounds), you simply have to return the flag MRF_REPLAY when releasing the mouse grab.
If the source object wishes a quick transfer to be able to be carried outside its view, it must send
MSG_VIS_VUP_ALLOW_GLOBAL_TRANSFER
to itself. Process objects acting as a content must send
MSG_GEN_VIEW_ALLOW_GLOBAL_TRANSFER
to the GenView.
The object then becomes oblivious to future quick-transfer events until the pointer returns to its window (or unless it was registered for notification of quick-transfer conclusion).
MSG_META_END_MOVE_COPY, ClipboardEndQuickTransfer()
If, when the mouse pointer is within your object's bounds, the user releases the Move/Copy button, your object becomes the true destination of the transfer. You will be notified by a
MSG_META_END_MOVE_COPY
.
Upon receipt of this message, the object should first determine the move/copy/no-operation behavior as above, with one exception: If either of the flags CQNF_MOVE or CQNF_COPY is set for the transfer item, then the user has overridden the normal behavior and the destination object should respond with the appropriate operation.
After determining the proper action, the object should retrieve the transfer item (as it would from the Clipboard), passing one of CQNF_MOVE, CQNF_COPY, or CQNF_NO_OPERATION. This flag will cause the proper notification to be sent to the transfer's source and allow it to complete its actions properly.
To finish the transfer, the object should call
ClipboardEndQuickTransfer()
.
In addition to the routines above, you can use one other to retrieve information about a quick-transfer item.
ClipboardGetQuickItemInfo()
returns a set of handles for the transfer VM file and the file's header block.
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_QUICK_TRANSFER_CONCLUDED
After the transfer has concluded, the original source of the transfer will receive
MSG_META_CLIPBOARD_NOTIFY_QUICK_TRANSFER_CONCLUDED
if it requested notification when it registered the original transfer. This message will be accompanied by a
ClipboardQuickNotifyFlags
record indicating what type of operation the transfer ended up being. The source object should then follow the rules of quick transfer and act appropriately (e.g. delete the source object on a quick-move operation).
ClipboardClearQuickTransferNotification(), ClipboardAbortQuickTransfer(), ClipboardRemoveFromNotificationList()
It is possible for a quick-transfer source object to shut down (be destroyed) before the completion of a quick-transfer operation. If the object registered to be notified of transfer completion, it must un-register as it is shutting down.
This is done with
ClipboardClearQuickTransferNotification()
or
ClipboardAbortQuickTransfer()
.
Additionally, any application that registers with the Clipboard must un-register when it is shutting down. This is done with the routine
ClipboardRemoveFromNotificationList()
.

November 3
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Did you know that the force of faith has the power to rejuvenate your physical body? It's true. You can see that in the life of Sarah. Most people don't understand the full extent of what God did in her life. All they know is that He enabled her to have a child in her old age.
But if you'll look closer, you'll see that there was more to it than that. When Sarah laid hold of the promise of God by faith, it began to restore her physically to such an extent that when King Abimelech saw her, he wanted her for his wife.
Think about that! At 90 years old, she was so beautiful that a king wanted her in his harem. What's more, after she gave birth to Isaac, the Bible says, she nursed him till he was weaned. Then she kept right on living until that boy was raised!
Now, I'm not telling you you can have a baby at 90 like Sarah did. She had a specific promise from God about that. But I am telling you that if you'll believe God for renewed strength and health in your old age, He'll provide it for you. In fact, Psalm 103 says that's one of His benefits.
God's desire for you in your old age is that you are a powerful, experienced champion of the Word with your strength renewed by faith. Start confessing that today. Fill your mouth with the promises of God. Say, "Praise God, my youth is renewed like the eagle's." You'll still go to heaven when your work on earth is through--but you won't just fade away. You'll fly out of here in a blaze of glory like the conqueror God created you to be.

Basic search requires only comma separated keywords as inputs. This search will match all/any(2) keywords against
spectrum name, A/C program, A/C section, fatigue mission or ANA file comments. Matching spectra will be listed in
the Downloads View which is explained later in this section.
Click on Advanced search in case you require more detailed search criteria.
Advanced search panel provides entries for more specific search criterion such as spectrum name, A/C program,
A/C section, fatigue mission, fatigue mission issue, FLP issue, IFLP issue, CDF issue, ANA file comments and spectrum generation
date. None of these are obligatory, but at least one should be supplied. Match-operator shall also be selected for each given
criteria (see following figure).
By default, a search can produce maximum 100 results (i.e. spectrum entries). This can be increased on demand. Logical operator
determines how different criterion will be combined to create a search query. For instance, say "A310" is entered as A/C program and "MR"
is given as fatigue mission criteria. Using AND operator would return spectra satisfying both A310 A/C program and MR mission. Whereas, OR
would return all spectra having at least one of them. Finally, ignore case option determines whether the character based search criteria
shall be matched with or without taking word-cases into consideration.
Search results are listed from within the Downloads View as seen in the following figure. Each item is shown with its spectrum name (as header),
A/C program, A/C section, fatigue mission and delivery reference. Click on the info button (shown with "i" icon) to see detailed information about the spectrum.
Click on Download (shown with the cloud-down-arrow icon) to download a full copy of the spectrum to your disk. This copy will include spectrum files such as ANA,
TXT, CVT, FLS and Conversion Table files.
To download multiple spectra, first select the spectra from their toggle-switches and click Download at the top of the downloads view.
Selected files will be downloaded one by one into the selected directory.
Click on Add (shown with "+" icon) to add the spectrum into your local Equinox database. You can also add multiple spectra, via selecting the spectra from their
toggle-switches and clicking on the add button at the top of the downloads view.
Click on Pilot Points (shown with "P" icon) to search the database for connected pilot points. You can then see detailed information about each connected pilot point,
and download or add them to your database.
Click on Loadcase Factors Files (shown with a table icon) to search the database for connected loadcase factor files. You can then see detailed information about each
connected loadcase factor file, and download or add them to your database.

2
1 Therefore we must give far more attention to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away from it.
2 For if the message that was spoken through the angels is valid, and every transgression and disobedience receives just punishment.
3 How then can we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?—salvation that was first announced by the Lord and confirmed to us by those who heard it.
4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders, and by various powerful deeds, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit which he distributed according to his own will.
5 God did not put the world to come, about which we are speaking, under the angels.
6 Instead, someone has somewhere testified and said,
"What is man, that you are mindful of him?

8 You put everything in subjection under his feet."
For God has subjected everything to mankind. He did not leave anything not subject to him. But now we do not yet see everything subjected to him.
9 However, we do see the one who was made for a little while, lower than the angels—Jesus, who, because of his suffering and death, has been crowned with glory and honor. So now by God's grace, Jesus has tasted death for every man.
10 It was proper that God, because everything exists for him and through him, should bring many sons to glory, and that he should make the leader in their salvation complete through his sufferings.
11 For both the one who dedicates and those who are dedicated, all come from one source, God. For this reason the one who dedicates them to God is not ashamed to call them brothers.
12 he says,
"I will proclaim your name to my brothers;
I will sing about you from inside the assembly."
13 And again he says,
"I will trust in him."
And again,
"See, here am I and the children whom God has given me."
14 Therefore, since the children of God all share flesh and blood, Jesus also shared the same things, so that through death he might make ineffective the one who had the power of death, that is to say, the devil.
15 This was so he might free all those who through fear of death lived all their lives in slavery.
16 For surely it is not the angels that he is helping; instead, he is helping Abraham's descendants.
17 Therefore it was necessary for him to become like his brothers in all ways, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest over God's things, and so that he might achieve forgiveness for the people's sins.
18 Because Jesus himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.


Gentrification of death: Behind London’s burial crisis
Seven boroughs in London contain no new grave space, and a further 19 will be unable to meet expected demand for burials over the next 20 years, according to local authorities.
The shortage of burial space in the capital is reaching a critical stage in many of its 32 boroughs. Data shows that the majority of them currently lack the capacity to supply enough graves to meet the level of demand suggested by mortality projections over the next two decades.
Changes to burial legislation gives London boroughs the authority to reuse graves in order to combat grave shortage. The practice involves placing a new or additional body in an existing grave, and is being touted as the answer to the city’s burial space crisis.
Graves chosen for reuse are over 75 years old. The cemetery is required to contact families to ask for consent and public notices are posted on or near the graves six months beforehand. If there is an objection, the grave will remain untouched.
A grave change
Private burials in London’s
Southwark Council may soon be carried out on top of existing public -- paupers’ -- graves to combat the
borough’s burial shortage.
Presently, there are only 180 empty burial plots in Southwark’s three cemeteries,
with none remaining in Nunhead Cemetery.
Sam Rees, Southwark’s bereavement services development
manager, said that number will change mid-to-late this year as the Council’s developing new burial
space.
The Council was granted approval in 2017 from the Diocese of Southwark to begin creating
burial spaces on the consecrated land, which the diocese presides over.
Blanche Cameron, chair
of Friends of Camberwell Cemeteries, leads a group of local advocates fighting the council over its
plans to reuse graves.
Cameron said: “Most relatives have not been informed. This is because most
are buried in 'paupers' or 'common' or 'public' graves, buried up to 20 deep. They have far fewer legal
rights than the more expensive individual private graves.
“Burial records do list who is in
which grave, but there is no requirement for the Council to ask the family's permission to dig them up.
The Council doesn't even have to get permission from families of the private graves, or even actually
find the families. Councils only have to show they tried to find them.”
However, Council
spokesman John Wade, said the local authority does not currently reuse graves but may in the future.
A similar scheme is already in place in the City of London, Cemetery & Crematorium, where
more than 1,500 graves have been reused.
The 161-year-old cemetery was on the verge of running out of space when officials decided to begin reusing graves in 2009. It has proven to be a popular choice, with over 60 per cent of burials there now in reused graves.
Trevor Davis, Westminster cemeteries manager, believes the most effective way to
stop cemeteries from overflowing is by reusing graves.
He said: “New graves can continue to be
developed on an indefinite basis as required through overfill/overvaulting and through reuse.”
To avoid reusing graves, some cemeteries in London have “created” new burial
plots.
A Greater London Authority audit from 2010 reported that Brockley & Ladywell Cemetery in
Lewisham “found” new burial space by demolishing chapels and clearing land.
Even so, the entire
authority of Lewisham will run out of spaces at its four cemeteries in between eight and 10 years, said
Council spokeswoman Alison Beck.
Death by the numbers
The shortage of burial plots has led to funeral costs in London now averaging £5,951, according to SunLife’s latest Cost of Dying report.
Regional variations in price are influenced by burial costs within the boroughs, commonly referred to as a “postcode lottery”. The most expensive place to be buried in the UK is London, where a burial costs on average £7,311.
The western Outer London boroughs of Hillingdon, Hounslow and Richmond-upon-Thames have enough burial space for some decades. But this may not be enough to meet possible overspill demand from other boroughs.
If councils are no longer able to offer burial plots to residents, this will impact its budgets and income required to run existing cemeteries, local authorities warned.
Brompton Cemetery is one of London’s "Magnificent Seven" graveyards, opened in 1839 in the capital’s suburbs to reduce overcrowding. That may have worked for a time, but the problem continues today.
Graveyard overcrowding is at its worst in the London boroughs of Hackney, Lambeth, Redbridge, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest -- where there is no space available.
Available burial space in the capital is extremely uneven. There is a limited number of new graves in almost all of the Inner London boroughs.
In the Inner London borough of Kensington and Chelsea, there are only 270 coffin plots available in Gunnersbury and Hanwell cemeteries.
About seven miles away in Brent, there’s more than 10 times the amount of empty burial space. But that is still not expected to meet the demand for new graves in the next two decades.
This is due in part to an increase of non-resident burials, the majority of which take place in Carpenders Park Cemetery. Only an estimated 2,000 empty plots remain, said Margaret Fraser, the cemetery’s registration and bookings manager.
If grave space availability from neighbouring boroughs declines, demand from non-residents for burial in Brent can be expected to increase.
Fraser said: “Unfortunately, we are seriously running out of burial spaces within the borough of Brent, and the only cemetery that we run which has virgin burial spaces is Carpenders Park Cemetery.”
Brent’s Paddington Old Cemetery is full, and at Willesden New Cemetery and Alperton Cemetery only reclaimed graves are available, she said.
She said: “I would estimate that we have between 200-300 graves available in each of these cemeteries but we will continue to reclaim further graves when these are running out.”
Other local authorities have chosen to reclaim graves, in which spots are used
for burial without disturbing the remains.
Brent, Croydon, Kingston-upon-Thames, Sutton,
Wandsworth and Westminster are among the councils that reclaim graves.
Reflection
I was inspired to do this project by the 1963 expose of the funeral industry, The American Way of Death, by Jessica Mitford. In this book Mitford accuses the funeral industry of raising the cost of dying. In the decades since, dying has become more complex -- and expensive. This can be seen in London, where a burial shortage has forced people to pay more for a grave in boroughs where they do not live.
Numerous publications have covered this topic. However, I could not find one with an updated -- or accurate -- assessment of exactly how many grave spaces are available in each existing cemetery in London. The Ministry of Justice, responsible for cemeteries in the UK, said there is no national assessment of grave spaces. So, I contacted all 32 boroughs and private cemeteries in London to find out how many empty burial spaces there are in each cemetery. It took me months to find out this information, and not every authority I contacted got back with me or kept records of available burial space.
My final assessment of the amount of burial space available in London is an estimate, and depends on the cemetery managers’ understanding of grave creation measures and available records.

STILL CRAZY A film review by Steve Rhodes Copyright 1999 Steve Rhodes RATING (0 TO ****): ***
It was a sign from "the gods of Rock and Roll." At an ancient Druid circle where they were lamenting the death of Brian Lovell, their lead guitarist, the members of the Strange Fruit band heard his music coming over the hill. At first they thought it was Brian, risen from the dead. But then they saw a herd of sheep followed by a young shepherd carrying a boom box on his shoulder. Not many people played their music anymore, so this had to be an omen.
Reunited for a twentieth-anniversary tour after years apart, the Strange Fruit's last concert had quite a different heavenly encounter. As they played outdoors to a jam-packed crowd, their instruments were blown to bits by "divine intervention" -- a lightning bolt struck nearby causing a huge electrical surge.
Made by filmmakers with just the right credentials, director Brian Gibson (WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT) and writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais (THE COMMITMENTS), STILL CRAZY is a small, unpretentious movie with a big-hearted story.
The Strange Fruit members went their separate ways years ago, but they've been asked to come back together to play at a big twentieth reunion concert. They decide to play seedy clubs and small concert halls, which they call "down and out venues," in order to prepare for the big concert, which makes for a energetic ending to a delightful movie. Along the way, they have a blast reliving the good old times on their tour bus. And in this inviting movie, so will you. Just kick back and let the good times roll as the 70's music and the band's good humor pumps up your day.
Each member of the cast has a sweet little story to tell. As the keyboard player, Tony Costello, Stephen Rea wears a tooth of Jimi Hendrix around his neck. A contraceptives distributor in Spain, he's happy to give up his day job for a chance to relive old glory.
Juliet Aubrey plays Karen Knowles, the group's ex-gofer. When we meet her, she's wearing a standard issue coat and tie for her corporate position as a business meeting organizer. She quits in a flash to rejoin her old buddies.
Les Wickes (Jimmy Nail) leaves his roof repair job. David 'Beano' Baggot (Timothy Spall), who looks like a retired Hells Angel, abandons his plant nursery position to rebuild the band. MRS. BROWNS's Billy Connolly plays Hughie, the tough looking, marshmallow of a guy who is the band's driver and soundman.
With just this cast, the movie would have been enjoyable, but Bill Nighy, as the band's troubled singer, Ray Simms, adds extra panache that gives the movie its special ingredient. Fond of long fur coats and living in his mansion, Ray's a superrich guy. Or is he? His mansion is up for sale and his finances are as low as his ego, which needs a lot of stroking before he's up to singing in front of a crowd again.
Ray can't get used to his loss of fame. When the pizza delivery guy asks for his signature on the bill, Ray immediately signs it "Best wishes to" and asks his name, while the guy looks back at him in disbelief. In order to muster the courage to perform, Ray practices in front of the mirror uttering things like "take no prisoners" and reciting the number of people in each city who attended their last big concert tour.
"You know how old I am?" a despondent Ray asks Karen. "How old?" she replies. "Old," he sighs simply. Ray is an admitted alcoholic who's on the wagon now. He is so dedicated that he goes to AA meetings while on tour. The one in Holland proves problematic for him since it turns out to be conducted in Dutch.
"The tragedy is that our lives peak too early," Ray complains. The movie argues convincingly that we do not have to accept this conventional wisdom. The upbeat film doesn't really care if we ponder these little messages; it is happy just to entertain us by letting us hang out with the band and vicariously enjoy their gigs.
STILL CRAZY runs a fast 1:35. It is rated R for modest amounts of profanity, sexuality and drug usage and would be fine for most teenagers.

SVG Sprites
Aug 16, 2016Within an single SVG file we can define many sprites. This consists of merging all your SVG sprites into a single .svg image file. Every sprite is wrapped in a ‘symbol’ tag, like this:
<svg class="character" width="100pt" height="100pt" version="1.1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<symbol id="circle-red" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" fill="red" />
</symbol>
<symbol id="circle-black" viewBox="0 0 100 100">
<circle cx="50" cy="50" r="40" stroke="black" stroke-width="3" />
</symbol>
</svg>
We can then use HTML or CSS to pick out each part of the image:
<hmtl>
<body>
<svg class="c-red" >
<use xlink:href="test.svg#circle-red"></use>
</svg>
<svg class="c-black" >
<use xlink:href="test.svg#circle-black"></use>
</svg>
</body>
</hmtl>
We can animate the sprite with CSS:
<style type="text/css">
.c-black:hover {
fill: #fe2fd0;
}
<style>
If creating an SVG sprite file seems tedious or error prone. You can use a tool like gulp-svgstore to automate the process. And generate a single SVG file from your individual sprite files.
One of the advantages of using SVG sprites are the improved page load times. One of the disadvantages of using SVG sprites, is that when linking the ‘use’ tag to the ‘symbol’ tag, the image gets injected into the Shadow DOM. Meaning we lose some CSS capabilities, and cannot apply some styling to the SVG image.
Fin.

Barcelona stars’ agenda over the international break
by Nishant NarayananThe last international break of 2019 commences this week and the Barcelona players are involved in some exciting fixtures.
16 Barcelona plays are called up for their respective national teams, including 5 from Barca B. While the South American teams have their friendlies, the European players play their final two Euro 2020 qualification matches.
Leo Messi makes his return for the Argentina squad since his 3 months ban at the end of the Copa America campaign.
Let us have a look at which Blaugrana stars are away and what their agendas are for the next couple of weeks.
(Fixtures from FC Barcelona)
Marc-André ter Stegen
- Germany – Belarus (Saturday, November 16th, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
- Germany – Northern Ireland (Tuesday, November 19th, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper is likely to be benched by Joachim Low as the German coach still favors Manuel Neuer over the Barca star. Germany are still fighting to qualify for Euro 2020 with Netherland currently sitting at the top with Northern Ireland trailing closely behind.
Ivan Rakitic
- Croatia – Slovakia (Saturday, November 16th, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
- Croatia – Georgia (Tuesday November 19, 6.00pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
Rakitic will look for a rare start in the upcoming international break. Croatia sits at the top of Group E and will continue to perform in the two home Euro 2020 qualifier matches. Rakitic’s performance with Croatia might have an effect on his playing days with Barcelona or the interests of other European clubs.
Sergio Busquets
- Spain – Malta (Friday November 15, 8.45pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
- Spain – Romania (Monday, November 18, 8.45pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
Sergio Busquets is the only player representing the Blaugrana in the Spanish squad. Moreno’s side have already qualified for Euro 2020 and will continue to keep their unbeaten streak in the Euro qualifiers.
Arthur Melo
- Brazil – Argentina (Friday, November 15, 6.00pm CET) – Friendly
- Brazil – South Korea (Tuesday, November 19, 2.30 pm CET) – Friendly
Arthur has been called up by Tite’s Brazil for their two friendlies over the international break. It will be interesting to see the Brazilian with his national squad as many claim that his performance here is much better than what he displays with Barca.
Luis Suárez
- Hungary – Uruguay (Friday November 15, 7.00pm CET) – Friendly
- Argentina – Uruguay (Monday, November 18th, 8.15 pm CET) – Friendly
Luis Suarez has forced his way to play for Uruguay despite his physical problems at Barcelona this season. He recently struggled with injury over the last few weeks and only managed to return as a substitute in Saturday’s fixture against Celta Vigo. With Barcelona’s physicians concerning over the Uruguay skipper’s ability to remain fit during the international break, Suarez will face heavy criticism if he picks up an injury over the coming week.
Leo Messi
- Brazil – Argentina (Friday, November 15, 6.00pm CET) – Friendly
- Argentina – Uruguay (Monday, November 18th, 8.15 pm CET) – Friendly
Barça’s No.10 makes his return for La Albiceleste after serving a three-month ban for his Copa America Red Card and corruption comments. Messi will face two of his team-mates during the two friendlies, Arthur Melo for Brazil, and Luis Suárez with Uruguay.
Clément Lenglet and Antoine Griezmann
- Françe – Moldova (Thursday, November 14, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
- Albania – France (Sunday, November 17th, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
World cup winners, France, are another team yet to qualify for Euro 2020 with Turkey and France sitting at the top of Group H and Iceland trailing right behind. Samuel Umtiti and Ousmane Dembele did not get picked by Deschamps’ side for the upcoming fixtures.
Frenkie De Jong
- Northern Ireland – Netherlands (Saturday, November 16, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
- Netherlands – Estonia (Tuesday, November 19, 8.45 pm CET) – Euro 2020 qualification
Koeman’s Netherland top Group C along with Germany with Northern Ireland closely behind the two. Frankie de Jong is heading into the final round of the qualifiers and is expected to help the Dutch national team to qualify.
Arturo Vidal
- Peru – Chile (Wednesday, November 20, 2.30 pm CET) – Friendly
Arturo Vidal has been called up for Chile’s friendly against Peru. Their fixture against Bolivia has been canceled as the break comes amid a tense political time for both countries.
Iñaki Peña, Jorge Cuenca, Ansu Fati and Abel Ruiz (Barcelona B)
- Spain U21 – Macedonia (Thursday, November 14, 7.45 pm CET) – Euro U21 qualification
- Israel – Spain U21 (Tuesday, November 19, 6.30 pm CET) – Euro U21 qualification
The Barcelona B prospects will look to impress in the U21 qualifications to push for a spot in the first-team. Ansu Fati will be expected to play a crucial part in the squad’s attack as he already has started alongside Messi, Suarez, and Griezmann.
Ludovit Reis (Barcelona B)
- Netherlands U21 – Gibraltar (Thursday, November 14, 7.00 pm CET) – Euro U21 qualification
The 19-year-old will look to impress the Barca hierarchy with his promising talent.
Which of these fixtures are you excited for?


THE PLEDGE ----------
When Reno homicide detective Jerry Black (Jack Nicholson) leaves his own retirement party to assist at the remote mountain murder site of an eight-year-old girl, he doesn't know he's taking a life-altering step in "The Pledge."
LAURA:
"The Pledge" may begin with a couple of hoary movie cliches (a detective on the verge of retirement coupled with a potential serial killer on the loose), but from this jumping off point, the film takes few expected turns.
Jerry proves his worth and experience at the crime scene by advising his partner Stan (Aaron Eckhart, "Nurse Betty") to get the child's buttons bagged for fingerprinting purposes. The inept local cops have not only compromised the crime scene, but have dragged their feet on notifying the victim's parents. Jerry takes this duty on only to find himself making a solemn oath to Mrs. Larsen (Patricia Clarkson, "High Art") that he will find her daughter's killer.
When a suspect is quickly brought into custody, Stan gets the feeble minded native American (Benicio Del Toro, "Traffic") to confess, but Jerry isn't convinced. Under the guise of his retirement fishing trip, Black continues to investigate the crime, even purchasing a gas station at crossroads he's convinced the killer will visit. Jerry also forms an attachment to single mother Lori (Robin Wright Penn, "Message in a Bottle") and her eight year old daughter Chrissy.
Adapted from the Friedrich Durrenmatt novel by Jerzy Kromolowski and Mary Olson-Kromolowski, "The Pledge" is a character study of a man so obssessed with his mission that he loses the chance to make a life for himself. Director Sean Penn ("The Crossing Guard") has assembled an incredible cast to flesh out the story as he focusses on Black/Nicholson's journey. Penn gets the closest thing to a real performance out of the superstar that Nicholson's given in years. Unfortunately, Nicholson has become such a larger than life caricature of himself that when he attempts to shed his own persona you sometimes see the gears turning.
Support is almost an embarrassment of riches with some of the best in the business appearing in little more than one scene cameos. Firstly, Benicio Del Toro goes out on a limb with a strange interpretation of the feeble minded initial suspect and not only pulls it off but makes an indelible impression while doing so. Vanessa Redgrave is perfect as the Scandanavian grandmother of the victim who professes to be 'all business' when giving her granddaughter her piano lesson. (Great resemblance casting as well - Redgrave looks like the mother of Patricia Clarkson.) Helen Mirren is a psychologist Jerry goes to for help to interpret a drawing of the victim's. Mirren creates tension (ably assisted by Penn's multiple POV editting choices) by turning the tables on Jerry's motivations (which in turn present him as a possible suspect). Lois Smith ("Twister") is good as a disabled, elderly mother who may not see her son for what he is while Tom Noonan ("What Happened Was...") is creepily effective as the religious man with an interest in Chrissy. Mickey Rourke is the broken father of a missing girl. Harry Dean Stanton is the bored gas station owner who gets an unexpected windfall. Sam Shepard is Jerry's former boss.
In the larger supporting roles, Wright Penn captures a broken woman happy to just be just getting along, amazed when she gets something better. Aaron Eckhart makes Jerry's partner Stan a young Turk who can't wait to brush aside the older guy to step prematurely into the limelight.
Technically, Penn is supported by cinematographer Chris Menges ("A World Apart") and editor Jay Cassidy ("The Crossing Guard") who capture the gorgeous terrain (British Columbia, Canada, stands in for Nevada) and intimate interiors in unconventional ways (overhead shots, dissolves, overlapping time sequence edits). An early scene, where Jerry approaches the Larsens to deliver bad news, is staged amidst thousands of turkeys who drown out the (unneeded) dialogue - a unique and brilliant choice. The score by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt ("Gladiator") enhances the story by using musical themes to denote character (native American drum percussion worked with piano, for instance).
"The Pledge" has a unique, albeit open ended conclusion which may leave some viewers feeling unsatisfied. Penn has clearly taken the artistic high road here, and while he doesn't always succeed, he's created a haunting piece of work.

In 2007, BioShock introduced players to a unique arsenal, and an imaginative suite of combat options. The heady mix of mid-twentieth century firearms and DNA-altering Plasmids facilitated a freeform approach to combat that saw players quickly develop their favourite combinations.
BioShock Infinite expands upon its predecessor’s outrageous arsenal. Booker DeWitt has access to a range of firearms, from the stopping-power of the buckshot-spewing China Broom Shotgun to the bewildering rate of fire of Rolston's Reciprocating Repeater. While impressive, these conventional weapons represent just the tip of this particularly destructive iceberg.
Vigors are the kicker in BioShock Infinite’s volatile combat cocktail. They are dual-wielded with firearms. The elemental burn of Devil’s Kiss and thunderous fury of Shock Jockey are capable of causing panic amongst DeWitt’s enemies; the sharp claws and greedy craws of a Murder of Crows can slow an enemy,or bring about an adversary’s grisly end.
Even so, DeWitt will often find himself outnumbered, and so should seek to even the odds by using the Vigors’ secondary fire-modes to lay traps, prior to a fully-fledged fire-fight developing. Rendering foes defenceless by catapulting them into the air with Bucking Bronco is not only practical, it’s entertaining.
One of the most fundamental addition to BioShock Infinite’s combat is the introduction of its wide-open spaces. While BioShock’s underwater city of Rapture created a moody, claustrophobic atmosphere, Columbia’s blue skies represent relative freedom and are crisscrossed by the Sky-Line network. DeWitt’s Sky-Hook gives him carte blanche to avail himself of the advantages of its myriad, albeit dangerous, traversal options and offers him a choice of battlefield positions.
DeWitt can quickly move to higher ground, momentarily escape the fracas below or simply ride the rollercoaster, picking-off enemies and raining down death from above. Of course, he’s not the only one capable of utilising the Sky-Lines. Columbia’s law enforcers are just as adept at scaling its heights, while the Heavy Hitter’s Handyman can electrify the rails to prematurely end DeWitt’s free ride.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth will frequently prove herself invaluable during combat. With her unique ability to expose tears throughout Columbia, DeWitt’s AI companion can call forth cover, turrets and alter the layout of the battlefield. While DeWitt’s penchant for wet work might sometimes shock his companion, he knows that he cannot hope to see Elizabeth safely out of the city using mild manners and gentlemanly conduct alone. Fortunately for both DeWitt and the player, BioShock Infinite’s deadly palette of guns, Vigors, Sky-Lines and tears affords many more highly-entertaining alternatives.

Help Chinese American Elderly to learn English
Design Problem Statement
In Ann Arbor, there are lots of elderly apartments where some Chinese elderly lived in there. Most of them came from China, however they have American citizens thanks to their children' efforts. Although elderly apartments offer themdecent living environment and diverse activities. They feel helpless when they need to go out on their own because they barely can speak English or have the confidence to communicate with native speakers. Although local community do offer them English learn classes, the teaching style and textbooks are not suitable for them. For example, elderly learn really slow, instead of pouring tremendous informations to them, repeating same contents frequently can help them learn faster. Also, instead of teaching them English in a systematically way as teaching student, we should consider offer them most pratical dialogues they may need in real life.
Solution One
My solutions are two ways. The first approach is that taking elderly guide tours to supermarket, mall, gym, hospital and public bus to help them learn practical English. Those tours will be guided volunteers. And each week they will have a topic to learn and practice. Then, based on that, offering an application to enable elderly to review what have been learned during the guide tour.
