RAD and "Cannot find the specified class com.ibm.websphere.ssl.protocol.SSLSocketFactory"

Missing IBM Websphere SSL class
I was simply trying to install an Eclipse plugin from the Eclipse Marketplace into my RAD on one system and RSA on another, but I kept getting this error:
Some web searches find that text. After a few unsuccessful attempts, the "alternative" solution from Cann
I guess RAD started and loaded up the WAS SSL support, but RAD itself isn't fully able to use that.
Note also the warning to "reverse" that activity if you want to run WAS again under RAD.

Disable Compile Warnings in RAD
DougBreaux 270007SMYJ Visits (3639)
(I'm assuming this is the same in stock Eclipse, I don't have it installed right now to confirm.)
If you have any source code that is generated by tooling (say, JAX-WS proxy code), you might have compiler warnings for things that are not considered best-practice. (Maybe they were fine in an earlier version of Java that the tooling still supports but are redundant in a later version.)
If you're like me and you prefer to have clean packages & classes in your IDE, here's a small tip that I somehow missed until recently.
If you place your "generated" source code in a separate source folder, which I like for ease of build process as well as organizational utility, you can also tell RAD to ignore compiler warnings for that source folder.
To do this, right-click on the source folder and go to Properties. Under "Java Compiler", check the "Ignore optional compile problems" setting, and you're done.
JAX-WS Code for WebSphere 8.5, Part 2
DougBreaux 270007SMYJ Visits (5324)
As a follow-up to Part 1, here are some additional considerations for generating JAX-WS code.
The wsdlLocation property for wsimport (whether from the command-line or from Ant) is placed in the generated JAX-WS @WebServiceClient class. It's placed both in that class annotation and in the static initializer block.
If you do not specify this option, the generated code will reference the absolute "file:" path to the .wsdl file on the local machine, which obviously won't work when deployed anywhere else. Alternative ways to deal with this are:
Option 3 seems to me the cleanest and simplest with our current projects' directory conventions, so this is what I plan to use. For example:
Client vs. Server
wsimport will generate:
Of these, item 2 is not necessary for a JAX-WS service. In fact, the existence of a client class could be confusing.
An alternative to using wsimport for the service code is to generate it with RAD tooling, which if you specify that you're creating a service, will not create the client class. This will also create a "stub" service implementation class, which wsimport does not do.
The generated service implementation class will be annotated with @WebService with name and targetNamespace attributes that match those of the generated interface described in item 1. Additional attributes for the serviceName and portName will be added as well (matching the <wsdl:service> and <wsdl:binding> elements, respectively).
Strangely (to my thinking) this generated class does not actually implement the Java interface.
However, relying on RAD tooling rather than scripting may be considered to reduce the repeatability of future builds, so it might be preferable to use the wsimport approach, delete the generated client proxy, and manually create the @WebService class with the proper annotation attributes and proper methods.
In either case, the @WebService implementation class will have actual calls to business code manually added to it, so once it's generated it should not be overwritten by any future process. Thus, perhaps the better approach is to initially create the service with RAD tooling, then subsequently use wsimport if WSDL changes require code to be regenerated.
Generated Code and Source Control
An earlier convention on our project was to generate the JAX-WS client code as part of the normal build process, every time the application is built. This is a reasonable, "ideal" approach since none of this code is "source" in the conventional sense. That is, it doesn't need to be tracked for human edits or backed up for recovery purposes.
However, since theoretically behaviors could change with newer code generations, it does seem safer to version-control this code. This would also allow easy recovery of previous versions of generated code if that became necessary.
Doing so would also
Finally, even with version-controlled generated code, having scripted methods to generate the code is still useful. This ensures that code generation options are documented and repeatable. Thus, we will be creating Ant targets even if they're not used as part of the default target and automated build process.
User Libraries in Eclipse (RAD)
DougBreaux 270007SMYJ Visits (7477)
I imagine most folks who use Eclipse or its variants already know about this, but just in case...
User Libraries are reusable groupings of jar files that compose a particular library to be used by an application. This is a much easier way to manage the jars needed by your projects than simply adding them one-at-a-time to the Build Path and/or the WEB-INF/lib directory for execution on a local server.
Creating and Managing User Libraries
Window > Preferences > Java > Build Path > User Libraries
Add as many User Libraries as your applications require. Name them so that you can distinguish versions from each other when you work with applications that use different versions of the same library.
Use the "New" button and type a meaningful name, then the "Add JARs" button to locate specific jar files to include.
You can attach a javadoc URL to a library, which will give you more useful help within Eclipse when you're using that library. Expand the added jar file (the small triangle), select the Javadoc location line, and click the "Edit" button. You can point at either local javadoc files or a remote URL.
Similarly, you can attach a source code file or folder to a library, which will enable you to trace into its source if necessary.

Preparing for a Burial
Many burials happen within a few days of a passing; others may be a week, months, or even years after. But in spite of time or circumstances, emotionally preparing for that day may come with difficulties.
We use the term "burial" loosely and in lieu of "final resting place" or "disposition." But regardless, it is an act of closure. "Closure?"! To some of us, this ceremony is just the beginning of living day to day facing the loss of companionship we will not regain. Or if it is after some time has passed, it may be a renewed act that reopens emotions that were attempted to be kept at bay.
It is an affirmation or denial of where we thought we were in our grieving process – a very personal grieving process.
In many cultures and religions, burials occur within 24 hours of a death. In others, there is more time to process the feelings, thoughts and emotions. Most importantly, consider it YOUR day. As much as it is a day to remember he or she who has passed, allow yourself permission to make it your day to feel, think, and process. It is OK to be sad; or not sad. It is OK to be nostalgic, fearful of a future that includes change or concerned about others. But it is also OK to feel relieved of a situation that was challenging, or at peace with the understanding that physical pain no longer exists, or uneasy about the emotions that "a new normal" may bring.
Take time for solace, and allow yourself permission to simply feel what today is natural.

Bangladesh Export Processing Zones Authority (BEPZA) is working relentlessly with the mission to increase the volume of investment, diversification of export, employment generation and thereby strengthening the economic base of Bangladesh.
The success story of EPZ in Bangladesh has established BEPZA as a thriving organization in the country and as a brand in the global business arena.
BEPZA started its journey with one EPZ as "New Horizon" and gradually flourished eight EPZs with the fame as "Asia's Low Cost Production Base". BEPZA is well known as a success icon in the country in terms of investment friendly industrial enclave and Bangladesh EPZs are prominently known as Bonanza for the Investors.
Eight EPZs consists of only 2307.27 acres of land. From this very little area, BEPZA is contributing a huge impact in the economy of Bangladesh. More than 420,000 of workforces are working within the tiny piece of land and contributing over 18% to the total national export.
The authority is fully committed to accomplish the target of rapid industrialization of the country by attracting investment, boosting export, alleviation of poverty and women empowerment with the active support and direction of the Government of Bangladesh. Our achievement was remarkable in the last six years. We obtained 129.55% growth in investment, 155.95% in export and 112.30% in employment from 2009-14 with compared to 2003-08. So far, Bangladesh EPZs gained investment about US$ 3.6 billion. Export from these EPZs reached over US$ 46 billion. I am very glad that BEPZA is so far on the right track to achieve its target.
BEPZA is playing a pivotal role in socio-economic development of the country by creating job opportunities. Employment pattern of EPZ shows that it has been making significant contribution to the gradual empowerment of women in the country. Out of the total workforce, 64% are female. Moreover, under the directives of Honourable Prime Minister, BEPZA and Bangladesh Bank have jointly taken up a project to build dormitories for the EPZs' female workers to play a supportive role. In the last five years, wages and other benefits of the EPZs' workers have been increased twice. Presently, the minimum wages is US$ 70. Government has enacted "The EPZ Workers Welfare Association and Industrial Relations Act" keeping provision to form Workers Welfare Association (WWA) by the direct votes of the workers. The WWA is acting as CBA for the EPZ workers.
BEPZA is working continuously for the industrial development of the country. To do this job we never ignore the compliance and environmental issues in the EPZ areas. IR department and 60 Social Counselors strictly monitor the workplace safety & compliance related issues regularly. The authority has been allowed to set up hi-tech eco-friendly service oriented industries in EPZs. 30 Environment Counselors have been appointed to monitor the environmental issues of EPZs. Moreover, BEPZA has strong fire fighting team in every EPZ in order to ensure fire safety. The core strength of EPZs is the amicable relations within the Workers-Management-Owners and it always tries to keep this harmony bridge strong.
Technological development by the enterprises of EPZs has made the work easy to build a digital Bangladesh, one of the commitments of the present government to the nation. BEPZA introduced video conference system within the EPZs. Besides, it also has a dynamic website. Issuance of import-export permit online has already been introduced in Chittagong, Dhaka and Karnaphuli EPZs. Other EPZs will come under this automated system by this year.
BEPZA always reforms its expansion strategy and adjusts with the changing global scenario under the directives of Hon'ble Prime Minister. We are obliged to the Hon'ble Prime Minister for her active directions as the Chairperson of BEPZA Board of Governors. Our golden Bangladesh is marching ahead under the dynamic leadership of the Hon'ble Prime Minister with the goal of becoming a middle-income country by 2021. BEPZA is happy to become a proud partner in implementing the vision 2021.
We are thankful to the respected members of BEPZA Board of Governors for giving the necessary policy support. We are also grateful to our Principal Secretary for his valuable advice and directives. Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to our Executive Board, Efficient Officers and Employees for their sincerity & hard work, which made possible BEPZA as one of the successful organizations in the country. I would also like to express my profound gratitude to our valued investors and potential workforce who have provided us the real support that has enabled BEPZA to march forward and gain success.
We are happy to share our facts and achievement with the people as well as our stakeholders through this annual report as a consecutive publication.
I am confident that if these efforts and cohesive teamwork continues BEPZA will be able to keep this success and remain glorious as Bonanza for Investors.

Preseason auditions: Former Utah players making their case to earn NFL roster spot
Stang08 Southern, UTAug. 23, 2013 8:22 p.m.
I never said that. I don't seem to remember ever uttering those words.
Sambonethegreat Salt Lake City, UTAug. 23, 2013 4:16 p.m.
So Stanley is suggesting that an athlete who is the first to ever be drafted from his school deserves respect, but that athletes from another school who worked just as hard to get drafted (in higher rounds, no less) deserve no respect?
That T-bird Kool-aid is pretty potent stuff. Yeesh.
Stang08 Southern, UTAug. 22, 2013 11:12 p.m.
Those players weren't the first from their school. Brad was the first from SUU. Hope that clears things up.
The A Game Logan, UTAug. 22, 2013 2:15 p.m.
Wagner and Turbin have played in the pros for one year. Kind of hard to "make history" on one year don't you think? Jacobs and Davis just barely started; also hard to "make history" when the regular season hasn't even begun.
Tell me though how Brad has "made history." You mean he threw a touchdown pass in a pre-season game? Pretty sure he's the first qb to do that. Ever. History made.
Stang08 Southern, UTAug. 22, 2013 1:12 p.m.
I should've known Sambone was coming next. Wagner, Turbin, Jacobs, and Davis didn't make history.
Sambonethegreat Salt Lake City, UTAug. 21, 2013 2:15 p.m.
Then reciprocate and show some respect to Wagner, Turbin, Jacobs, and Will Davis. Ball is in your court.
Stang08 Southern, UTAug. 20, 2013 9:24 p.m.
Love the picture and Brad should have no problem making the final roster. Go Big Blue and The A Game, please don't come on here and be disrespctful to this guy.

I delighted Husband by not having a big brunch and inviting everyone we know. He always enjoys these events but works himself into a big fuss beforehand. I had just finished taxes and am still working on our school auction and just lacked the energy to deal with either him or a big event. We had just a slightly fancier version of our regular Sunday dinner with the MIL, which I always enjoy.
We start off with appetizers and a fancy cocktail, a lemon drop martini this time—we've been working through a batch of my homemade limoncello and so have been drinking a lot of these on Sundays. Husband, Sophie, and the MIL play dominoes or cards at the kitchen table while I (who hates playing games) work on dinner.
I borrowed this clever idea with the radish from over here. If you ever need ideas or inspiration for table settings, this is the place to go.
We had roast rack of lamb, mint apple jelly, lemon roasted potatoes, and grilled asparagus, with rose geranium-white chocolate ice cream garnished with pine nut brittle for dessert.
These potatoes are a modification of an old Martha recipe. Her's are good; mine are better. They're very easy but take quite a lot of baking time, which can be a problem if you only have one oven. I always serve them with a main course that can be done on the grill.
LEMON ROASTED POTATOES8 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into bite size1/2 cup olive oil1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice2 teaspoons saltHeat oven to 500 degrees. Combine ingredients in roasting pan large enough to hold potatoes in a single layer. Toss to coat potatoes and bake, uncovered for nearly an hour. Halfway through baking, slide a metal spatula beneath potatoes to loosen from bottom of pan and turn for even browning. Do this several more times before potatoes finish baking.
And in case you're wondering if the Figs have gone and found religion on Easter, rest assured it's not true. We celebrate Easter as a turning of the season, where we move from skiing and root vegetables to hiking and fava beans. Sophie did accompany the MIL to church in the morning, but we had a little talk about this first. I told her the traditional Easter story, which for me is one of the most problematic parts of Christianity. A birthday of a good person we want to remember is something I can be down with. I'm fine with repressive governments and prostitutes—these things really exist. Bodies disappearing, dead people coming back to life, gods in the air—not so much. I warned her "You know all that stuff they will be talking about at church—it's not true. Just like things in some of your books. They may be fun to read about and imagine, but they didn't really happen." "Right!" "But Grandma thinks the Easter stuff did happen, which is fine. You don't need to make a big point of the fact that we don't believe these things. It might make her feel badly." "I will just smile." "Good. Sometimes that's the right thing to do."
But it's not like we don't believe in anything. In fact, we spend a good deal of time talking about what we do believe in. It's mostly love. We believe in love. And you don't need a god for that.

We Mainers love our LL Bean. And the flagship store in Freeport? Well, it is totally awesome! I can't believe it has taken me 15+ years to visit it. This series of shops (a village really) is open 24-7 … year round. And on a recent trip back from Nashua, NH to Bangor, ME … the kids and I took a break from the highway and shopped at LL for the first time. Good stuff …
He was mesmerized and quite impressed.
And you could literally hang out here all day. There are two cafes for all your stomach needs … as well as this (above) "family room" for relaxing, game playing and reading by the fire.
When we were done shopping (for Uncle Jamie, Daddy and Uncle John) … we were treated to an unexpected and totally "Maine Christmas" treat … a horse-drawn carriage ride through some of downtown Freeport … courtesy of LL Bean.
What a great impromptu evening of shopping, learning and enjoying the spirit of Christmas. I highly recommend a stop to downtown Freeport, Maine … and especially to the LL Bean Flagship store. And if you head another 1.5 hours up Route 95 … you can pay us a visit as well 🙂

The minister for Correctional Administration, Shankar Chakraborty, said there were a large number of foreign nationals, the bulk of which are from Bangladesh, lodged in different correctional homes in the state.
"We have already initiated primary steps in getting them released from correctional homes and repatriated to their respective countries," Chakraborty told PTI.
The minister said that some prisoners in fact had already been released and repatriated to the neighbouring country since the Mamata Banerjee government took over the reins of the administration.
Some prisoners, Chakraborty said, had been released but their repatriation was taking some time because of delay in verification of their nationality.
"We are taking up the matter with the Ministry of Home Affairs to expedite the matter. The Ministry of External Affairs was also working with the Bangladesh authorities," the minister said.
He said that the Centre was also having a dialogue with the authorities of the countries, where the prisoners hail from, to work out an agreement under which the inmates could serve the remaining part of the terms in their homelands. Chakraborty said that the arrangement would free up space in the overcrowded jails and save resources as well.
Inspector-General of Correctional Administration Ranvir Kumar said steps had been taken to expedite the verification process so that the released prisoners could be handed over to the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) soon.
"Such verification of nationality is required to repatriate the prisoners to their homelands," Kumar said. "We have already given details of the inmates to the MHA and are awaiting for the outcome," Chakraborty said.
Apart from Bangladeshi prisoners, a few Burmese and Pakistani inmates were also waiting for their release, the minister said.
The IG said that a Chinese woman inmate of the Alipore Women Correctional Home had recently been released and repatriated to her homeland.
Kumar said that 1,500 prisoners, mostly from Bangladesh, have been repatriated after their release from different state correctional homes in the last one year.
Meanwhile, names of another 430 prisoners, who are about to be released in the next six months, have been forwarded to the MHA for repatriation to Bangladesh, he said.
Giving some statistics dated till May 17, the IG said that 313 prisoners, comprising 273 males and 40 females, lodged in different correctional homes in the state had been released and were at present waiting for their repatriation.
There are still 942 prisoners, comprising 883 males and 59 females from Bangladesh, serving their terms, he said.
The total number of prisoners comprise 95 children, of them 55 boys and 40 girls, who are accompanying their jailed parents, he said.

The house is huge and very private. The view cannot be matched.
This home is spectacular in every way. As you approach it on the winding road, you see it perched at the top of the hill. That initial view is breathtaking. But nowhere near as breathtaking as the view from the home of the surrounding valley.
We stayed here for four nights of our guys' golf/cycling trip, then were joined by our wives for three nights. We had a great winery tour led by Tim Krause from healdsburgexperience.com who picked up our group at this home and dropped us off when we were done. (No driving!)
I can't say enough great things about this home as well as Leah and the team who manage it. The home was spotless and the reservation/transaction process was flawless.
Highly recommended.
An incredible view of the entire valley, a wonderful open, airy interior, and very smartly furnished. A fantastic pool. Bring your friends and you may decide you don't need to go anywhere, the place is that perfect. Definitely plan to return again.
As you drive up the road and see this amazing house on a hill looking only as if a dream wondering who might live there and stating how lucky they are, that moment when you realize that is your house for the weekend. Our group all went crazy with joy, the house is so amazing you almost want to forget your wine tasting plans and just stay in. It's all the photos crack it up to be and more. We had a wonderful time and made memories that would last a lifetime. It's a little pricey but worth every penny.
spectacular property - very kid friendly. we had 8 couples and 4 toddlers. there's an amazing area right outside the main space where the kids could play and the pool was a bit further away so you didn't have to worry about the pool. also note there are lots of umbrellas at the pool so plenty of shade. truly fantastic! plenty of space, very well equipped (all the pots and pans you could want), and just an outstanding experience. one of the prettiest properties I've ever seen!
How do I describe this place -- AMAZING! I rented this property for a weekend trip for my company. I was blown away once I started driving closer to the property. There was always this one house I could see amongst the hills of Dry Creek Road that stood above the rest, but I didn't know it was my rental! The road leading up to the house was very secluded. Once atop the hills, there was this beautiful, modern structure in front of me. It was elegant in all its simplicity. It has everything I needed and more. Gorgeous grounds with a pool that sat probably 100 meters from the house, and every bedroom was very private. I couldn't have been more pleased with the space. It was relaxing, yet close enough to all of the wineries to make for a great stay. I would highly recommend this property to anyone, however I hope this doesn't make it impossible to book in the future. Want to keep my little secret :)
Thanks for a great stay!

I work with a restaurant group in Chicago, that has an amazing Asian restaurant called Sunda with a "Build Your Own Ramen" option for lunch. I'm telling you I eat it about twice a week it's so delicious and perfect for the chilly weather!
These beautiful ramen dishes really inspired me to dive into Asian flavors and fusion. Not only was the ramen in general addicting, but to me it was the miso broth that really stole the show.

Britain went on the offensive in May of 1940, sending some 99 RAF bombers over the Ruhr - the industrial heart of the Third Reich - in their first night time assault against German-held territory. Only one aircraft was lost in the ensuing action. Subsequent actions in 1941 and 1942 would reveal some ugly truths about the bombing campaign, however, such as how only one-in-three bombers were actually hitting their mark within 5 miles of their target. Additionally, through the deliberate and controversial "Area Bombing Directive", German-held civilian areas were now open to British bomber raids (brought about in retaliation for the civilian deaths incurred by England through German bomber raids themselves). Lubeck now joined Cologne, Dusseldorf and Hamburg in such actions. But perhaps the most publicized assault would be in the leveling of Dresden by fire-bombing, resulting in the deaths of 130,000 of its citizens, and ultimately becoming a very controversial action both in England itself and around the world.
By 1943, Operation Torch - the Allied invasion of North Africa - changed everything by involving American industrial might and numbers to the mix. As the American USAAF heavy and medium bombers took the fight to Germany through a relentless and brazen daylight bombing campaign, the British used their expertise in radar and night actions to keep the fight going during the critical night-time hours. The German capital city of Berlin was a revisited target by British bombers equipped for night sorties, making heroes out of such mounts as the legendary Avro Lancaster. Despite heavy and accurate ground-based flak and German interceptors developed specifically for the night fighting role, the British achieved success in the night skies. This was, however, not without excessive losses to their own ranks - for a defensive-minded Germany was just as lethal as an offensive-minded one.
As the campaign rolled on, tactics and technology evolved. Radar systems progressed and newly-developed navigational aids were instituted. Foil strips were dropped by British aircraft to scramble German radar signals. Fast-moving British DH.98 Mosquitos were utilized in the "Pathfinder" role to help mark targets ahead of the bomber formations through the use of incendiary ordnance or marking flares. Thousands of sorties by brave RAF crews finally began taking their toll on the industrial infrastructure of the mighty Reich.
By the end of it all, the Luftwaffe - kings of the skies in the early years of the war - were more or less grounded due to a lack of fuel, spare parts and, perhaps most importantly, oil - the lifeblood of the modern army. ©www.SecondWorldWarHistory.com

Maxim And Paula Deen
October 13, 2011 by staff
Maxim And Paula Deen, Lad mags is not exactly known for helping to change our deep-rooted perception of beauty. But Maxim is taking a strange position, with its latest ranking of the best TV '5 Women Chefs. "In this specific category of exception, an unexpected name sits at the top of the list (which, so worth it was written by a writer) – Paula Deen.
Now, before you start to worry that Maxim has been in progressive (Eden led Grinshpan Deen, Aida Mollenkamp, ??Giada DeLaurentiis, and Padma Lakshmi), consider the description of the queen of southern cuisine:
Anthony Bourdain may think she is the most dangerous person in America thanks to its calorie-laden cooking, but we have the sxy danger. Just imagine the slippery, sloppy sex butter Paula would have with us … a hunger wrapped in bacon, beer batter-fried stick of butter, strangely.
This disturbing mental image was published with a photograph of butter half unfolds. Maxim also has been deducted to give credit for introducing the phrase "sloppy sex butter" in the lexicon. Although, maybe, just maybe, there is some progress in all that innuendo. If we begin to judge hot women chefs "of the dishes that address how to fill a chef coat, which could be headed in the right direction.

Although proms are at a very budding stage and not that popular a concept here, but farewell and freshers' parties sure are and we do take a lot of consideration in turning that into an unforgettable affair. Some ask our best guy or girl friends to keep us company, while others take this opportunity to ask their crush or significant others for a date. But, Connor Campbell, a junior at Pinewood Prep in Summerville, South Carolina stunned his friends and families when he decided to take his 93-year-old granny as his date to the prom. According to a report published in ABC News, Campbell had been insistent in taking his grandmother, Betty Jane Keene, to his school dance at Middleton Place Plantation held on April 1. And this adorable couple perfectly complemented each other – grandma wore a pale pink gown while Connor wore matching outfit. Connor's mother, Jacqueline Campbell said, "He promised her a year ago. He said, 'April 2017 I'll take you.' For the whole year he kept saying it."
It was, in fact, Connor's mother who got his granny ready for the day, did her makeup, nails and hair. This has to be one of the sweetest dates ever and the most cherished one to say the least. "It was wonderful. It was really great," said Keene. His granny further added, "He had told all his friends. Every boy and girl. It was about 100 children at that dance and it was so lovely and they all came up and shook my hand and then I got Connor to dance with me. He's not a dancer, but I am." Connor's grandma loved every bit of it and was extremely happy for getting the chance to dance with her grandson, which was also said to be her favourite part of the evening. Connor's mother further added, "It just warmed my heart. They both had a good time. It wasn't like anyone's arm was twisted to go. Both of them had a wonderful time and they both said it was the best thing ever." However, Connor's granny has declined the offer of being his date next year too, since she wants him to find a girlfriend.
Honestly, in our busy lives, there are times when we tend to unintentionally hurt our parents or grandparents and by the time we realize it, the damage is already done. But, no matter how cheesy it sounds, it is moments like these that make sweet memories worth cherishing for life and brings both generations closer. So guys, leave whatever you are doing and call your grandparents right now.

The amount of nudity we see in television and film is astronomically higher than ever before. Shows like Game of Thrones and Girls show stars in the buff on almost a weekly basis. While scenes involving nudity have been relegated to "gratuitous" and "pornographic" in the past, the purpose and discussion behind those scenes is starting to change. Now, nude scenes can be viewed as empowering, poignant, and even necessary to storytelling for these films and TV shows. But that doesn't necessarily mean the Hollywood landscape has been scrubbed clean of its blatantly titillating nude scenes either, especially in regards to women.
Female celebrities in film and TV are the first to be taken advantage of when it comes to nude scenes. Whether the scene is necessary or not, women in the industry are expected to oblige and strip their clothes whenever asked of them. Some female celebs have voiced stark opposition to filming nude scenes, even refusing to consider the option.While baring it all is a deal-breaker for some, stripping down is a no-brainer for others. Actresses like Mary-Louise Parker and Emmy Rossum frequently go naked for their roles on their racier Showtime shows. But that doesn't necessarily mean they're happy about all the scenes that come their way. Female celebrity nude scenes will always be a source of controversy and criticism. Misogyny within the industry is to blame for that, especially when considering the unequal portrayal of nudity between men and women on-screen. But what do these women think about nude scenes themselves? Here's a roundup of popular actresses' opinions on doing nude scenes.
Emilia Clarke has been pretty vocal about her nude scenes in Game of Thrones. But she's also been relatively flip-floppy on her stance on them. After Season 4 of Game of Thrones, Clarke vowed to never do a nude scene for the show again. She told interviewers in 2015 that "sex scenes should be more subtle," adding that she'd be participating in fewer of them in upcoming seasons of the show. "I'm British, so I cringe at that sort of thing anyway. I can't stand it," she added. Clarke clarified her statements later, claiming they were taken out of context. "Sometimes explicit scenes are required and make sense for the characters/story, as they do in Westeros. If it's gratuitous for gratuitous sake, then I will discuss with a director on how to make it more subtle," she said.
Clarke recently received criticism after appearing fully nude again in a recent Game of Thrones episode. She defended the scene, saying: "I personally have had a lot of [criticism] where people are like, 'Oh, the chick who takes her clothes off,' as a kind of derogatory thing, and I'm like, 'Excuse me, [those scenes] couldn't be more empowering.' The fact that I'm naked is just like a 'screw you' to all the haters, do you know what I mean?"

Hands down one of the most memorable scenes in James Cameron's Titanic is Kate Winslet's nude drawing scene. And although the film legitimized her acting career, Winslet sometimes regrets having agreed to that scene. To this day, Winslet claims that people still approach her on the street asking her to sign the film's nude drawing. "I don't sign that [picture]. It feels very uncomfortable. Why would you do that? People ask me to sign that [picture] a lot...I'm like, 'No! I didn't mean for it to be a photograph that I would end up still seeing 17 years later,'" she explained. If she could go back, it seems that Winslet wouldn't avoid the boat altogether, but would definitely turn down Jack's offer to draw her like one of his French girls.

Natalie Portman, albeit nervous, was not necessarily opposed to on-screen nudity. But after her naked scenes ended up all over porn websites, the actress felt much more opinionated on the issue. "It really depressed me that half of every review on the film was about the nudity. It made me think I shouldn't have done it. I'm not prudish about nudity. I think it's beautiful in films, and sex is such a big part of life. My issue is that I feel it takes something away from what you're doing when the focus is put on the wrong thing," she told interviewers. Since then, Portman has vowed to avoid appearing nude in movies. "My picture ended up on porn sites, and that's the dilemma. I just don't want to do something that will end up as a screen grab on a porn site," she told Elle magazine.

Former protagonist of Showtime's Weeds, Mary-Louise Parker had a few issues with her character's onscreen nudity. The actress, who appeared naked on the show relatively frequently, didn't love every scene that required her to strip down. Parker actually publicly voiced disappointment in a scene that she felt was particularly gratuitous. In the Season 4 finale of Weeds, Parker appears naked in the bath tub for an extended scene. According to Parker, she didn't find the shot necessary. "They made it sound like I was like, 'They made me take my clothes off and chained me to the bathtub," she said. Parker later clarified her statements, assuring viewers that there were no on-set quarrels. "I was talking about that scene as an example of something I didn't love as much when I saw it because they kept cutting back and I was naked, but they liked the position of it," she added. In fact, Parker enjoys being naked on set. The actress admitted: "I mean, if you know me, it's like, someone sneezes and I take my clothes off. I'm naked in Esquire in August. I was naked on the set the other day. I'm always naked. I'm naked right now, in fact."

The Florida Gators got off to a slow start in week 1 but they pulled away for a win beating UMass 24-7. The UF offense looked bogged down at times gaining 363 yards but not getting into a real rhythm until late in the game. Gators QB Luke Del Rio completed 29 of 44 passes for 256 yards and 2 touchdowns and while he was adequate he was far from spectacular. Jordan Scarlett led the Florida rushing attack with 70 yards and Antonio Callaway led the way receiving with 8 catches, Brandon Powell had 7 catches, and Josh Hammond had 5 catches. Defensively Florida allowed 7 points and just 187 yards failing to force a turnover but getting to the QB for sacks 4 times. Jarrad Davis led the Gators defense with 9 tackles, Alex Anzalone had 6 tackles, and Nick Washington and M Maye had 5 tackles each. Florida won but they were far from impressive and they will need to improve to have a solid run in the SEC.
USA TODAY Sports
The Kentucky Wildcats appeared to be well on their way to a season opening win over Southern Miss but a massive collapse let a gigantic lead get away as they fell in week 1. The Kentucky offense put up 35 points and 409 yards but they turned the ball over 3 times. UK QB Drew Barker got off to a fast start but finished slow completing 62.5 percent of his passes for 323 yards, 4 touchdowns, and an interception. Stanley "Boom" Williams led the Kentucky rushing attack with 95 yards and Garrett Johnson was the top receiver with 6 catches for 143 yards and 2 touchdowns. The Kentucky defense folded in the second half allowing 520 yards for the game but they did grab three interceptions. Jordan Jones led UK in tackles with 19 including a sack, Kobie Walker had 10 tackles, and Blake McClain had nine tackles and an interception. It will be interesting to see how Kentucky bounces back from Saturday's disaster.
Florida is 7-2 against the spread in their last 9 SEC games, 1-4 against the spread in their last 5 games, 0-5 against the spread in their last 5 home games, and 6-1 against the spread following a game that they didn't cover the point spread. Kentucky is 7-21 against the spread in their last 28 road games, 1-8 against the spread in their last 9 games, 0-5 against the spread against a team with a winning record, and 1-4 against the spread following a loss. The favorite has covered the point spread in 8 of the last 9 meetings of these two.
I expect a higher level of play from Florida and I don't see how Kentucky recovers from week 1 in a game that might haunt them all season. I look for Florida to dismantle UK and win easily.

TIPO-TIPO, Philippines, April 16 (UPI) -- The Philippines military overran an al-Qaida-linked, Abu Sayyaf Group camp in a three-hour firefight, killing at least eight bandits, officials said.
Col. Carlito Galvez said Abu Sayyaf leader Isnilon Hapilon sustained a "slight wound" on the head in the Monday incident in Tipo-Tipo and is facing kidnapping and murder charges, GMA News reported.
Galvez denied claims by the Moro Islamic Liberation Front that they were the target of the early morning attack, Manila Standard Today reported.
"No, the MILF was not the target. It's just that the location of the Abu Sayyaf's lair was only 300 meters from the MILF position. The target really was the bandits' lair. Perhaps, the bandits believed the MILF will help them if attacked but during the firefight the MILF did not help them. Our soldiers were able to overrun the ASG camp in an hour," he said.
Col. Rodrigo Gregorio, spokesman of the Western Mindanao Command, said Abu Sayyaf has been linked to several high-profile kidnappings, murder by beheading, extortion and bombings.
He said they are responsible for the burning of Ipal town in 1994, the attack on the Golden Harvest Plantation in Lantawan where civilian hostages were beheaded, the kidnapping of foreign and local tourists in Dos Palmas and the 2001 attack on the Dr. Jose Torres Memorial Hospital in Lamitan.

The invention relates to an optical coupling element, comprising a light source and a lens, the light source being mounted on a support on which a cylindrical cover is arranged, the lens being situated opposite the light source, a light beam therefrom being directed around a central axis of the cover.
A coupling element of this kind is described in a publication by Masayuki Abe in I.E.E.E. Transactions on Electron Devices, Vol. ED-24, No. 7, July 1977, pages 990-994. The described coupling element comprises a light-emitting diode, but could alternatively comprise a semiconductor laser. Furthermore, the lens is formed at an end of an optical fibre into which the light emitted by the diode is radiated via the lens. The coupling element shown is used in an optical communication system in which data transmission is realized by means of light pulses to be transmitted via optical fibres. However, the coupling element may also comprise only one or a few lenses. A coupling element of this kind can also be used, for example, in a video disk reading device where the data recorded on a disk are read by optical means. The optical means comprise at least said light source, the lens, a reflective surface of the video disk, and a light detector. In order to maximize light transmission from the light source to the optical element situated behind the lens, the axis of the lens should occupy the correct transverse position relative to the light source and the lens should be situated at the correct distance from the light source. The method of adjusting the transverse position and the distance between two optical elements is partly disclosed already in said publication, and is fully disclosed in the U.S. Pat. No. 3,999,841.
The object of the present invention is to provide a coupling element which not only enables very accurate transverse positioning of the light source with respect to the lens axis, but also permits simple and quick adjustment of the distance between the light source and the lens, both adjustments being maintained without the need for adhesives such as epoxy resins.
To this end, the invention provides an optical coupling element, comprising a light source and a lens. The light source is mounted on a support on which a cylindrical tubular member cover is arranged and the lens is situated opposite the light source in a holder with a light beam from the source being directed around the cylinder axis of the cover. In accordance with the invention, the holder forms a press fit with the cover and, together with the cover and the support, forms a hermetically sealed space. The holder enables the distance between the lens and the light source to be adjusted and for this purpose is arranged to be displaceable relative to the cover parallel to the cylinder axis.
The distance between the light source and the lens is simply adjusted in the coupling element in accordance with the invention by pressing the holder, and hence the lens, towards the light source during which the light beam generated by the light source and emerging via the lens is continuously observed and/or the energy content thereof is continuously measured.
In a preferred embodiment of the coupling element in accordance with the invention, the cover, as well as the holder, is shaped as a bush and each is provided with a collar, the collar of the cover being secured to the support and the lens being secured to the collar of the holder. The collar on which the lens is mounted may be formed in the holder which is provided, on an edge which is remote from the cover, with centring means for centring an optical element, to be mounted on the holder, with respect to an optical axis of the lens mounted in the holder, fixing means for fixing the optical element to be mounted on the holder being provided on the exterior of the holder.
One advantage of such a coupling element is that a further optical element can be mounted thereon without further adjusting means being required for centring. The fixing means may be a thread, but may also form part of a bayonet coupling. The centring means may be formed by a conical surface or by a radially directed edge profile, for example a set of teeth.
Embodiments of coupling elements in accordance with the invention will be described, by way of example, hereinafter with reference to the accompanying diagrammatic drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a sectional view of two parts of a coupling element in accordance with the invention to be assembled,
FIG. 2 is a sectional view of two parts of a further embodiment of a coupling element in accordance with the invention to be assembled, and
FIG. 3 is a sectional view of two parts of a preferred embodiment in accordance with the invention to be assembled.
The coupling element 1 of FIG. 1, shown in two parts 1A, 1B, comprises a metal support 11 on which is mounted a light-emitting diode 12, a metal cover 13, a metal holder 14, and a glass lens 15. The cover 13, the holder 14, and the lens 15 together form a first part A, and the support 11 with the diode 12 form a second part B of the coupling element 1. The lens 15 is secured to an elastic edge 16 of the cover 13 by way of a known metal-to-glass bond. By way of a sleeve end 17, the holder 14 forms a press fit with the cover 13 and a collar 18 on holder 14 bears against the lens 15. It has been found to be advantageous to provide at least the cover with a layer of indium in order to enable smooth adjustment of the desired distance. Between the press fit with the end 17 of the holder 14 and the edge 16, the cover 13 comprises an annular collapse zone 19, the function of which will be described hereinafter.
Two glass-filled passages 20 and 21 accommodate pins 22 and 23 to which are connected the power supply leads 24 and 25 for the diode 12. Passages of this kind are well known from the technique used for the manufacture of metal envelopes for semiconductor transistors and circuits. The power supply lead 24 is connected to an annular electrode 26 which encloses the light-emitting surface of the diode 12. A central axis 27 which indicates the centre of the light beam to be emitted is directed onto the light-emitting surface. The optical axis 28 of the lens 15 should coincide with the central axis 27 in order to ensure optimum transmission of light from the diode 12 to an optical element (not shown) which is to be arranged behind the lens 15. The first part 1A (the cover 13, the holder 14 and the lens 15) is placed in the correct transverse position with respect to the second part 1B (the support 11 and the diode 12) in a known manner which is disclosed in said publication. Subsequently, the first part is welded, by way of a collar 29 formed on the cover 14, to a ridge 30 formed on the support 11 by circumferential welding (resistance welding, using pressure and high voltage). The lens 15 is then moved axially towards the diode 12 until it is situated at the correct distance therefrom by pressing the holder 14 towards the support 11. The distance between the lens 15 and the diode 12 can be accurately adjusted by continuously or periodically observing the light-beam passing through the lens 15 during the movement of the lens 15 towards the diode 12.
During the pressing of the holder 14 towards the support 11, the collapse zone 19 of the cover 14 is deformed. As a result of the inherent elastic deformation, the lens 15 remains pressed against the collar 18 of the holder 14 which forms, as mentioned above, a press fit with the cover 13. As a result of the press fit, once the distance between the diode 12 and the lens 15 has been adjusted, it will not be affected by elastic recovery of the edge 16 due to the elastic deformation of the collapse zone 19.
FIG. 2 shows two parts 2A, 2B of a further embodiment of a coupling element 2. The first part 2A comprises a cover 31, a holder 32, a plane-parallel glass plate 33, and a ball-lens 34 glued thereon. The second part 2B comprises a support 35, a laser diode 37 mounted on a cooling block 36, and two connection pins 40 and 41 which are arranged in glass-filled passages 38 and 39 and which are connected to the laser diode 37 and the cooling block 36, respectively, via connection wires 42, 43, respectively.
The lens 34 is glued to the glass plate 33 by means of an adhesive 44, for example, a setting epoxy resin, said plate in its turn being connected, by way of a known metal-to-glass bond, to a collar 45 formed on the holder 32. The optical axis 46 of the lens 34 should coincide with a central axis 47 which passes through the active zone of the laser diode 37, for the reasons already described with reference to FIG. 1. The part 2A of the coupling element 2 is arranged in the correct transverse position with respect to the cooling block 36 mounted on the support 35 in the described manner, after which a collar 48 of the cover 31 is welded to a ridge 49 formed on the support 35.
When the holder 32 is subsequently pressed towards the support 35, the lens 34 is moved towards the laser diode 36 and the desired distance between these two elements is adjusted, the press fit formed by the cover 31 and the holder 32 maintaining the adjusted distance. Preferably, the cover 31 and the holder 32 are covered with indium, so that the desired distance can be readily adjusted. The reaching of the desired distance can be established in the same manner as already described with reference to FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 shows two parts 3a, 3b of a preferred embodiment of a coupling element 3 in accordance with the invention. The first part 3a comprises a circular, cylindrical metal cover 51 and a circle-cylindrical metal holder 52, in which a plane-parallel glass plate 54 is secured on a shoulder 53 in known manner. A ball-lens 55 is welded to the glass plate 54. This can be realised by using a soft glass plate 54 which has a lower melting temperature than a hard glass used to manufacture the lens 55. The second part 3b comprises a metal support 56 on which a laser diode 58 mounted on a cooling block 57 is arranged. The support 56 comprises two glass-filled passages 59 and 60 in which two connection pins 61 and 62 are arranged. Connection wires 63 and 64, being connected to the laser diode 58 and the cooling block 57, respectively, are connected to the connection pins 61 and 62, respectively. Like the supports 11 and 35 of the FIGS. 1 and 2, respectively, the support 56 comprises a ridge 65 whereto a collar 66 of the cover 51 is welded, after the first part 3a has been correctly positioned transversely with respect to the second part 3b in the described manner. Subsequently, the holder 52 is pressed towards the support 56 for adjustment of the correct distance between the laser diode 58 and the lens 55. The walls of the cover 51 and the holder 52, forming the press fit, are covered with indium or another soft metal. The holder 52 forms a press fit with the cover 51, so that the adjusted distance is maintained. A circular cylindrical edge which is provided with a profile of radially directed teeth 67 is formed on the holder 52. The holder 52 is furthermore provided with an external thread 68, so that a further optical element can be secured on the coupling element. The profiled edge cooperates with a further optical element, for example, one half of an optical fibre connector for optical communication purposes which also comprises a profiled edge. This profile is then made complementary to the teeth 67 of the edge of the holder 52. The optical element will thus be exactly positioned. Before the holder 52 is secured in the cover 51, the lens 55 and the glass plate 54 are secured in the holder 52 in the described manner by way of a metal-to-glass bond, so that the optical axis 69 of the lens 55 coincides with the symmetry axis of the edge of the holder 52. As a result, an optical element arranged on the holder 52 is always centred with respect to the lens 55 and also with respect to the laser diode 58.

Actor Siddharth who was recently in trouble after dropping his Macbook Pro had some good news to share as he said that his laptop is back to normal and running fine with no costs incurred. Some while ago Sid had got into a dirty tiff with the media people after he expressed his anger regarding the harsh criticism he received for his last release 180 (Nootrenbadhu).
Even though the movie was appreciated for its visual appeal and slick packaging it was felt that the script fell weak below expected standards from ad filmmaker Jayendra. With the criticism flowing in Sid soon decided to take things in his own hands as he targeted news channels for their irresponsible behavior. One of the comments proved to be really offensive hurting the sentiments of journos and their families. Now that Sid's new movie with Shruti Haasan titled – Oh My Friend is gearing up for the release the actor has come out in the open offering apologies for the same. Sid said, "I understand that this has upset the journalistic fraternity & their families. As this was not my intention, I wish to apologize to the families of journalists for hurting their sentiments in any way. Thank you."
Now it has to be seen if Sid and the media fraternity rekindle their friendship, with the upcoming release.

Bookkeeping data entry is the bane of many small business owner's existence. Each receipt, invoice, check and income item needs to be entered into a bookkeeping system, usually one at a time. This work does not improve the bottom line. On the contrary, it subtracts from it. Recently I began thinking about this problem and how to reduce or elimate the time wasted doing data entry. There are a number of time saving solutions for the small and micro-business owner to help. I'm already a fan of Shoeboxed and Bill.com Zen Data Entry. These services do a lot of the data entry for me. However, getting the data out of these solutions and into your bookkeeping software still seems to be a neglected part of these services offerings. Bill.com does not have an export to Quicken feature and recently Shoeboxed seems to have discontinued support for Quicken.
While various export formats seem to come and go, there seems to be constant support for exporting data as CSV files. CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. While it's really great that CSV has become a standard format for exporting transaction data, it don't know of any software packages that can import this format.
So I have begun developing a web workflow that will allow you to import all your different into a database, then once a month this data can be reconciled with you bank statement. Once you are sure all the transactions have been entered you can export the data as a Quicken file. I will post more about this process later, but here is a preview for now.

Death and immigration greatly reduced Ireland's population in the 19th century. For the native Irish people poverty, hunger, and racial prejudice was common. Therefore, thousands left their homeland to seek opportunity in North America. Those who survived the journey and the quarantine camps to which they arrived, were instrumental towards building the strong developing nations of the United States and the future Canada. By far, the largest influx of Irish settlers occurred with Great Potato Famine during the late 1840s. These were employed as construction or factory workers. An examination of passenger and immigration lists has shown early immigrants bearing the name Cooile: Alexander, Andrew, Bernard, Daniel, Edward, Francis, Hugh, James, John, Michael, Patrick, Peter, Thomas, and William Coyle, who all arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania between 1820 and 1870.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Just maybe, the Arkansas quarterback will emerge Thursday night. And, maybe not.
This much is clear -- Zak Clark will start against Nevada-Las Vegas and Ryan Sorahan will play a significant amount of time.
A close game with the Rebels would be much more telling than a rout. Then, playing time -- particularly in the fourth quarter -- would become a barometer of sorts. In the unlikely case that Arkansas is way ahead, Clark vs. Sorahan could be little more than statistics.
Arkansas coach Houston Nutt could have short-circuited the inevitable quarterback controversy after the Aug. 18 scrimmage. Instead, Nutt said the starter ''possibly could change'' from Clark to Sorahan. Those three words put the quarterback speculation on a fast track.
Talk about No. 1 and No. 2 was bound to happen -- whether it was two fruitless possessions deep in the opener, down 7-0 against Tennessee or struggling to pile up points against North Texas.
''It just comes with the territory,'' Clark said. ''That's how people are, not just here. It's one of the things you have to accept if you play this position.
''It's going to be there, the pressure,'' he said. ''Everybody's a quarterback up in the stands. Nobody wants to be the center, they want to be the quarterback, they want to be the head coach.''
Essentially, Clark was handed the No. 1 job in the spring because returning starter Robby Hampton was undergoing extensive shoulder rehabilitation and Clark was the only scholarship quarterback available.
''When you're at a program like this, you're going to have to compete with other guys for a job,'' Clark said. ''But, last spring, there wasn't any competition.
''It was much more relaxed, being able to go in, screw up, get better from it, work through your mistakes,'' Clark said.
When fall practice began, Sorahan immediately got the coaches' attention because the junior college transfer was much more than a newcomer.
In the two days before the veterans arrived, Sorahan proved he knew the playbook and Nutt was impressed. ''It takes studying and he has obviously been studying,'' Nutt said.
He said Sorahan is not loud, but he is confident and offers a presence in the huddle.
''You can tell he's stepped in the huddle,'' Nutt said. ''You like to see a guy that can step in front of 10 other sets of eyes and say, 'Hey, you follow me.' That's what he has.''
That same day, Nutt raved about Clark because he didn't flinch when Nutt called on him in front of 82,000 at South Carolina. He also said Clark was hampered by a leg injury most of last year when he played in six games and completed 28-of-68 with six interceptions.
Highly recruited out of high school, Sorahan signed with California, transferred to San Jose State for the spring, and then played at Foothill Community College last year. He completed 184-of-353 for 2,584 yards and 25 touchdowns with 14 interceptions and has three years of eligibility at Arkansas.
Sorahan said he is trying to avoid the emotional highs and lows that come with competition for the starting job.
Clark said he probably did too much thinking during the major scrimmage, when he completed 2-of-7 for 16 yards. Sorahan was little better, hitting 5-of-9 for 23 yards.
''The steady quarterback, the guy who takes care of the ball, is the guy you can win with it,'' Clark said. ''I'm 21 years old, I'm still learning. If you ask somebody at 39 who's still playing the game, they're still learning.''
With UNLV, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia in September, there should be plenty of classroom opportunity.
