Slavania in the 1890s8/19/2023 ![]() Some of the refugees eventually found new homes in Austria and Germany, however, most immigrated to the United States and Canada, where they had friends and relatives who had immigrated to those countries prior to World War II. At the end of the war, the Gottscheers were forced to flee into Austria. This was done in December 1941 and January 1942, when almost 12,000 Gottscheers were relocated to Brezice (Rann), Slovenia that had been incorporated into the German Reich during the war.īetween 19, many of the Gottscheer villages were destroyed in battles between the Yugoslavian partisans and the Italian forces. Nine months later, the German government resettled the Gottscheer ethnic Germans from their 650-year homeland. When the German and Italian armies invaded Yugoslavia in April 1941, an agreement between Italy and Germany gave control of the Gottschee land area to Italy. The city of Gottschee is known as Kocevje.ĭuring World War II, the Gottscheers lost their homeland. Today, the area of the former county of Gottschee is known as Kocevska, Slovenia. Slovenia gained its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. In 1929, the kingdom became known as the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Gottscheers were given Yugoslavian citizenship. In 1918, after World War I, with the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the Duchy of Carniola and with it Gottschee became part of the province of Slovenia in the newly formed Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes. Many immigrated to various areas in the United States and Canada, with large numbers settling in Cleveland, Ohio, and Brooklyn, New York. The population was about 26,000 and like many Slovenians and other Europeans, Gottscheers began to emigrate from their homeland. In the late 1800s, the Gottschee ethnic and linguistic area of 331 square miles consisted of 176 villages organized into 19 townships and 18 parishes. In that same year, all urban and rural dwelllings were counted and recorded. In 1770, Maria Theresa ordered a count of all males in order to be drafted into the Austrian army. In 1641, Wolf Engelbrecht of Auersperg bought the county ( Grafschaft) of Gottschee. Also in that year, there was an Urbarium (land register) produced with statistics of land, the number of villages, names of the owners, and taxes. About 100 years later, in 1574, Gottschee was owned by the Hapsburg Archduke Carl. In 1471, Gottschee received the municipal charter and city seal. It was mainly a spoken language and those that were born there in the 1920s and 1930s still speak the language today (On the Links page, click Gottscheer Relief Association of New York to view and listen to the Gottscheerisch language.) They also developed a distinct German dialect called Gottscheerisch. The people of Gottschee continued to preserve the customs of their ancestors. In 1350, the emperor made available 300 families from Thuringia in Germany, and this group formed the basis of the population of Gottschee County as a German-speaking language island in a duchy mostly inhabited by Slovenians. As a result, there were a number of important castles and fortifications in and around Gottschee. The area of lower Carniola (the duchy of Carniola was called Krain in German) that was to become Gottschee had been a strategic part of the Holy Roman Empire since the year 800. ![]() The settlers cleared the vacant and heavily forested land and established towns and rural villages. The county of Gottschee was colonized in 1300 by the Carinthian counts of Ortenburg with settlers from Carinthia and Tyrol, and by other settlers who came from Austrian and German Dioceses of Salzburg, Brixen, and Freising. Gottschee was founded at the end of the 13th century, carved out of the uninhabited mountain forests in what is today the south central part of Slovenia.

Android ndk8/19/2023 By default, if you haveĮxternal libs that you want loaded into the Android application, theyĪre looked for in the (module)/src/main/jniLibs. There are two things you need to know here. SWIG to the rescue! NDK directory structure Years (decades even) for this exact purpose? So, why do that ourselves, when we can use a tool that’s been in use for Has done this on non-trivial examples, you’ll agree with me when I say The traditional setup for NDK coding is that you have your C++ codeīuilt by the ndk-build command, but you first need to write customĮxport functions so that Java can communicate with C++. One last tidbit I’ve not yet seen mentioned though, is easily setting upĬ++ code to be used by Android without hand-rolling wrapper functions. There are a lot of great recent tutorials on starting up with theĪndroid NDK in Android Studio 1.0+ (such as thisĪnd I used them as a reference to transition myself away from external Shell scripts for everything to work semi-smoothly). (I used to have custom Android and Application makefiles, alongside some MakefilesĪre automatically generated, and the whole process can run inside Gradle Tools 1.0 I suppose), have streamlined this process immensely. Update: Happy 2016 everyone! At the bottom of this page, you’llįind my latest updates to this post, which include using theĮxperimental Gradle plugin for improved NDK integration in AndroidĬode for a few projects, and I have to say that there is a starkĬontrast in how easy it is to setup now, than it was just 12 months ago. So, as of today, the native + generated + Java/Kotlin code builds are Portion after it tries to precompile some code) by using an afterExecute Out when the SWIG files aren’t present (because AS runs the CMake There are no more command line calls to SWIG, as that’s handled byĬMake, and I just recently solved an issue where Android Studio craps My GithubĬontains AS1, AS2, and AS3 solutions - but only AS3 is being maintained. ![]() Now we’re using Android Studio 3.0, Gradle 4.1, and CMake. ![]() Page still contains a lot of good information and is worth a read - but Update: 2017, almost 2018! 3 years after the original post! This Me no end of grief this year, so it seems like a fitting topic to make Happy soon-to-be New Year everyone! There’s one subject that has given

Did web slices go away in ie108/19/2023 ![]() One last thing: I think it would great (and involve relatively little dev work) if SSRS supported the creation of Web Slices out of the box. Even with the limitations that having to render to XML imposes I can think of a few useful applications of this approach… maybe I’ll test them out in a future blog entry. This then meant I could see the contents of the table in my Favourites bar whenever I wanted:Īnd whenever the data changes (you can control how often IE polls the original web page in the Web Slice’s properties, and also in the definition of the Web Slice itself) the text in the Favourites bar turns bold: I could then click on either to subscribe to the Web Slice and have it added to my favourites. First, the Web Slice button appeared in the IE toolbar:Īnd when I moved the mouse over the table in the report, it was highlighted with a green box as a Web Slice: When I went back to IE and reopened the report after deployment I could see two new things. Then I went back to BIDS and altered the XSLT file to add the necessary tags for a Web Slice around the main table. Saturday, Septem11:13 PM 0 Sign in to vote Hi, Assuming you mistyped the url of your web site, (sb) Renders in Quirks mode. I do not think I should have had this post moved offline here. &rs:Format=XML&rc:MIMEType=text/html&rc:FileExtension=htm Web Slices are not part of the other IE releases. Here’s an example SSRS URL that does this: I was then able to deploy the project and, by using URL access to the report get it to render to XML and get the result treated as html, was able to see the following in IE8: I then added the XSLT file to my project and associated my report with it using the report object’s DataTransform property, so that it was always used when the report was rendered to XML. I then rendered the report to XML, took a look at the XML generated, and created a simple XSLT file that would generate a HTML report from that XML. The first thing I did was create a simple SSRS report in BIDS that brought back values for Internet Sales broken down by country: However, it still makes for a fun proof-of-concept □ ![]() To be honest this isn’t a satisfying approach for me because it involves a lot more effort to get the report looking the way you want, and of course you have to have control over how the report is rendered. I won’t go into too much detail about how this works once again, Teo has an excellent explanation in his book “ Applied Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services” (reviewed here – it’s an excellent book) on pages 263-265. The only way I could get it to work was to render the report as XML and then use an XSLT file to give me complete control over the HTML that SSRS generates. I first looked at using the new rich formatting functionality that’s available in SSRS 2008 that Teo Lachev describes here, but it turns out that you can’t use this to create Web Slices because SSRS doesn’t support the necessary attributes (see here for details – at least I assume this is why, because I couldn’t get it to work). The challenge with implementing web slices is to get SSRS to generate the necessary html when it renders your report. After all, wouldn’t it be cool if you could subscribe to a table in an SSRS report, or even better a cell within a table, and get notified when that value changed rather than have to keep pinging the report yourself? Of course it would! Here’s how to do it… There’s a brief overview of what they are here:Īnd a really good guide to implementing them from Nick Belhomme here:īeing the BI geek that I am, my first thought was to see whether they could be used with Reporting Services reports. Larger scores are better on this benchmark.One of the new features that caught my eye in Internet Explorer 8 when it came out was Web Slices – the ability for a web developer to carve up a page into snippets that a user can then subscribe to. It also includes a benchmark based on the Apache Harmony open- source project's HashMap and a port of the Cdx realtime Java benchmark, hand-translated to JavaScript. This test suite also includes benchmarks from the LLVM compiler open-source project, compiled to JavaScript using Emscripten 1.13. Jetstream includes benchmarks from the SunSpider 1.0.2 and Octane 2 JavaScript benchmark suites. Jetsteam 1.1: This JavaScript benchmark builds on the foundation of the no longer supported SunSpider, It combines several JavaScript benchmarks to report a single score that balances them using geometric mean. I put my PC on the test bench, ran the following benchmarks, and this is what I found. Edge, the Windows 10 specific browser, and IE 10 simply run better on the same hardware with Windows 10 than on earlier versions of Windows. There are several reasons why Microsoft is so insistent that you upgrade to Windows 10. It doesn't perform that well on Windows 7.
