The Tocharians or Tokharians (/təˈkɛəriənz/ or /təˈkɑriənz/) were inhabitants of medieval oasis city-states on the northern edge of the Tarim Basin (modern Xinjiang, China). Their Tocharian languages (a branch of the Indo-European family) are known from manuscripts from the 6th to 8th centuries AD, after which they were supplanted by the Turkic languages of the Uyghur tribes.
Some scholars have linked the Tocharians with the Afanasevo culture of eastern Siberia (c. 3500 – 2500 BC), the Tarim mummies (c. 1800 BC) and the Yuezhi of Chinese records, most of whom migrated from western Gansu to Bactria in the 2nd century BC and then later to northwest India where they founded the Kushan Empire.
Around the beginning of the 20th century, archaeologists recovered from oases in the Tarim Basin a number of manuscripts written in two closely related but previously unknown Indo-European languages. Another text recovered from the same area, a Buddhist work in Old Turkic, included a colophon stating that the text had been translated from Sanskrit via a toxrï language, which Friedrich W. K. Müller guessed was one of the newly discovered languages.[1]
Müller called the languages "Tocharian" (German Tocharisch), linking this toxrï with the ethnonym Tókharoi (Ancient Greek: Τόχαροι, Ptolemy VI, 11, 6, 2nd century AD) applied by Strabo to one of the Scythian tribes that overran the Greco-Bactrian kingdom (present day Afghanistan-Pakistan) in the second half of the 2nd century BC.[2] This term was itself derived from Indo-Iranian (cf. Old Persian tuxāri-, Khotanese ttahvāra, and Sanskrit tukhāra), the source of the term "Tokharistan" usually referring to 1st millennium Bactria, as well as the Takhar province of Afghanistan. The Tókharoi are often identified by modern scholars with the Yuezhi of Chinese historical accounts, who founded the Kushan empire.[3][4] These people are now known to have spoken Bactrian, an Eastern Iranian language that is quite distinct from the Tocharian languages, and Müller's identification is now a minority position among scholars. Nevertheless "Tocharian" remains the standard term for the languages of the Tarim Basin manuscripts and for the people who produced them.[1][5]
The two languages are known as Tocharian A (also East Tocharian or Turfanian, from the city of Turpan) and Tocharian B (also West Tocharian or Kuchean, from the city of Kucha).[1] The native name of the historical Tocharians of the 6th to 8th centuries was, according to J. P. Mallory, possibly kuśiññe "Kuchean" (Tocharian B), "of the kingdom of Kucha and Agni", and ārśi (Tocharian A); one of the Tocharian A texts has ārśi-käntwā, "In the tongue of Arsi" (ārśi is probably cognate to argenteus, i.e. "shining, brilliant"). According to Douglas Q. Adams, the Tocharians may have called themselves ākñi, meaning "borderers, marchers". The historian Bernard Sergent has called them Arśi-Kuči, recently revised to Agni-Kuči.[6]
Early inhabitants of the Tarim Basin[edit]
J. P. Mallory and Victor H. Mair argue that the Tocharian languages were introduced to the Tarim and Turpan basins from the Afanasevo culture to their immediate north. The Afanasevo culture (c. 3500 – 2500 BC) displays cultural and genetic connections with the Indo-European-associated cultures of the Central Asian steppe yet predates the specifically Indo-Iranian-associated Andronovo culture (c. 2000 – 900 BC) enough to isolate the Tocharian languages from Indo-Iranian linguistic innovations like satemization.[7][8]
Tarim mummies[edit]
The Tarim Basin mummies (1800 BC) have been found in the same general geographical area as the Tocharian texts and frescoes from the Tarim Basin (3rd to 9th centuries AD), and are both connected to an Indo-European origin and point to Caucasoid types with light eyes and hair color. However it is unknown whether the mummies and frescoes are connected.
In 2008, the remains of another male were discovered near Turpan. Thought by researchers to be a member of the Gushi culture, the man was buried with a number of practical and ceremonial objects, including archery equipment and a harp, and 789 grams of cannabis. Through genetic analysis and carbon dating, the burial has been dated to roughly 700 BC. Only two of the 500 graves at the site contain cannabis, leading researchers to suggest shamanic roles for the two individuals.
In 2009, the remains of 30 individuals found at the Xiaohe Tomb complex were analyzed for Y-DNA and mtDNA markers. They suggest that an admixed population of both western and eastern origin lived in the Tarim basin since the early Bronze Age. The Xiaohe people maternal lineages were predominantly East Asian haplogroup C with smaller numbers of H and K, while the paternal lines were all West Eurasian R1a1a. The geographic location of this admixing is unknown, although south Siberia is likely.[9]
The Historical Records by the Western Han historian Sima Qian describe a people called the Yuezhi who lived between the Qilian Mountains and Dunhuang, until they were driven out by the Xiongnu in the 2nd century BC. The majority (the Greater Yuezhi) are said to have moved west and conquered Bactria (Chinese: 大夏 Dàxià), while a smaller group (the Lesser Yuezhi) took refuge in the "Southern Mountains".[10]
The Greater Yuezhi are often identified with the Tókharoi mentioned by the Greek historians,[3] and believed to be the predecessors of the Kushans, who in the 1st and 2nd centuries AD built an empire in northern India and Central Asia which under Kanishka stretched from Turfan in the Tarim Basin to Pataliputra on the Gangetic Plain. A minority of scholars also connect them to the Tocharians.[11] Based on comparison of names used by ancient authors, Christopher Beckwith has argued that these people were originally Tocharian-speakers who switched to the local Iranian language on entering the region. He claims that the first character of their name, 月, usually read as Old Chinese *ŋʷjat > Mod. yuè,[12] could have been pronounced in an archaic northwestern dialect as *tokwar or *togwar, a form that resembles the Bactrian name Toχοαρ (Toχwar ~ Tuχwar) and the medieval form Toχar ~ Toχâr.[4][13]
The Tocharians appear to have originally spoken two distinct languages of the Indo-European Tocharian family, an Eastern ("A") form and a Western ("B") form. According to some, only the Eastern ("A") form can be properly called "Tocharian", as the native name for the Western form is referred to as Kuchean (see below). Tocharian shares commonalities with all other Indo-European languages, which does not help in identifying a next neighbor. However, nearly all lexicostatistical studies put it as next neighbor to Hittite, with which it e.g. shares the absence of palatalization, common among the regional neighbors as Indic and Iranian.
Tocharian A of the eastern regions seems to have declined in use as a popular language or mother tongue faster than did Tocharian B of the west, where it was more insulated from outside linguistic influences.[14] It appears that Tocharian A ultimately became a buddhist liturgical language, no longer a living one, at the same time that Tocharian B was still widely spoken in daily life. Among the buddhist monasteries of the lands inhabited by Tocharian B speakers, Tocharian A seems to have been used in ritual alongside the Tocharian B of daily life.[citation needed]
Historic role[edit]
The Tocharians, living along the Silk Road, had contacts with the Chinese, the Persians, the Indians and Turkic tribes. They adopted Buddhism, which, like their alphabet, came from northern India in the 1st century of the 1st millennium, through the proselytism of Kushan monks. The Kushans and the Tocharians seem to have played a part in the Silk Road transmission of Buddhism to China. Many Tocharians apparently also practised[when?] some variant of Manichaeism.[15]
Protected by the Taklamakan Desert from steppe nomads, elements of Tocharian culture survived until the 7th century, when the arrival of Turkic immigrants from the collapsing Uyghur Khaganate of modern day Mongolia began to absorb the Tocharians to form the modern-day Uyghur ethnic group.[16]

Check and Fix Broken Links with This WordPress Plugin
A broken link hurts both your site usability and SEO. Users feel disappointed when clicking a link to land nowhere and search engines certainly don't want them to: so if they find a lot of broken link on your pages, this may hurt your reputation.
Anyway, it is quite clear that broken links are bad. But there's hardly any website out there that has no broken links at all – because it is hard to keep up with the ever changing web.
If you are using WordPress, there's a fairly good solution for you: Broken Link Checker. While it has quite contradictory reviews and did make my site slow for a few minutes after being installed, I found it useful (and usable) enough to share.
Here's what it can do:
- Monitors links in your posts, pages, the blogroll, and custom fields (optional).
- Detects links that don't work and missing images.
- Notifies you on the Dashboard if any are found.
- Also detects redirected links.
- Makes broken links display differently in posts (optional).
- Link checking intervals can be configured.
- New/modified posts are checked ASAP.
- You view broken links, redirects, and a complete list of links used on your site, in the Tools -> Broken Links tab.
- Each link can be edited or unlinked directly via the plugin's page, without manually editing each post.
After you install and activate the plugin, you can go directly to "Broken Links" (which took me a few minutes to access) and then click the link at the top saying how many broken links were found on the site:
Now you should be able to see a table containing the following data:
- The list of pages where a broken link was detected;
- The broken link text;
- The broken link URL.
On hovering over the URL you will be offered to see details, unlink, exclude or edit the URL:

The last time I tried BLC it tripled the size of my database and reported links as 'broken' which worked just fine.
I'm still looking for a good alternative. -
Good plugin for broken links checker. I use deadlink site for broken link checking.
great plugin mate… going to download :), thanks
Thanks Ann, for sharing this great wordpress plugin. i liked all post by you on tools & reviews.
if you have so many links that you can't check them manually, than you have a problem, thus this plugin becomes kinda useless
I went through one of my websites recently and found several broken links. Once they were repaired, I was able to see an improvement in rankings. I am not sure if it was because of search engine trust or if it was because of improved link flow.
I installed it but it found none of the 17 broken links on my site… Will look for another…
This is a powerful plugin that i use on my sites.
Even though the Webmaster tool tell me if i have a broken link, this tool is quicker.
And for SEO – broken links arent good!
So again, Thank you bro. -
Good plugin for broken links checker. I use deadlink site for broken link checking, it didn't worked so well but this must work better I think!

National Cowboy Poetry Gathering turns 25, and it hasn't forgotten its founders.
Photo: Matthew B. Brown (Randy Rieman performs poetry)
"This is a full week of entertainment—meeting wonderful people while living and breathing the cowboy culture with its great work ethic," says Carole Davis, who has attended more than half of the annual National Cowboy Poetry Gatherings. The Gathering's 25th anniversary will be January 24 to 31 in Elko. Past gatherings have focused on cowboy cultures from here and abroad, but this one will be a homecoming. "Artists, audiences, volunteers, and sponsors from past Gatherings have been invited to return to Elko," executive director Charlie Seemann says.
Retired Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, is expected to reflect on her childhood on a ranch in Arizona in her keynote address. In her book written with her brother, Alan, Lazy B: Growing up on a Cattle Ranch in the American Southwest, she recalls those days. "It was no country for sissies, then or now," O'Connor says.
At least 15 of the 53 poets and 24 musicians performing this year were at the first Gathering, including Waddie Mitchell, one of the Gathering's founders; Baxter Black, a nationally syndicated columnist and National Public Radio commentator; and Canadian singer and songwriter Ian Tyson. Other performers include Riders in the Sky western quartet and western band Asleep at the Wheel, who will present two live musical performances as a tribute to Bob Wills.
Besides poets and musicians, other attractions will be workshops on Western cooking and crafts, ranch tours, how to write poems and family histories, and Western film screenings.
The Gathering began in the 1970s when Western folklorists, concerned about the loss of cowboy culture, met to find a solution. That solution was a get-together. Elko was chosen as a "good cowboy center for more than a century, with cheap wintertime rates, excellent public facilities, and where cowboy poetry was already known," recalls founding director Hal Cannon. He and local poet Mitchell set up chairs in 1985 for a one-time event. "We had about 60 chairs in place when Waddie said, 'Pard, let's not go overboard. We don't want to embarrass ourselves.' Soon the room filled to capacity and by the end of the weekend, between 500 and 1,000 people had come."
As the Gathering's popularity grew, many others were held around the country. In 2000, the Elko event was renamed the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering by an Act of Congress.
Red Steagall, Poet Laureate of Texas and a member of the Western Folklife Center's National Advisory Council, has performed at many Gatherings. "I like what they do here and I'm glad to support them," he says. Paul Zarzyski, a popular poet from Montana, enjoys the event. "It's the people. It's just like rodeo. I can't rodeo anymore, but the experience is the same. Great people—the performers, those behind the scenes, the whole remuda," he says. Perhaps Mitchell, now a nationally known performer, sums it up best. "It's just like a family reunion, except everyone likes one another."

The following is a quote from Paul Verhoeven's book, Jesus of Nazareth. It describes how he would open his hypothetical "Jesus movie"…
Naked feet dangle beside a beam. Nails are hammered through a heel bone. Agonized screams. The camera glides upward, showing a naked man on a cross. It zooms out, and we see that three men, and not just one, have been crucified. The camera moves back until we see ten naked people on two hundred crosses., which line the winding road to Sepphoris. The city is in flames. Roman soldiers lead men, women, and children out of the burning metropolis and into slavery. We are in Galilee. It is 4 B.C.
We shift to the middle of Sepphoris, where Roman soldiers are pillaging the town and raping the women. A Jewish girl, no older than sixteen, hides inside a house. Her family has been brutally slain. A Roman soldier finds her and rapes her. The girl's name is Mary…Then there is a sudden cut, and we see Jesus at the age of thirty.
Verhoeven's book rarely contains passages like this, wherein he describes his vision of his long planned film about Jesus Christ. Mostly, Verhoeven shares his research and thoughts on the true history of one of the world's most famous and mysterious people. Jesus of Nazareth is interesting to read, but a small pittance when compared to the possibility of the film. Here's hoping Verhoeven will still manage to make it someday.

Since Thomas Jefferson first brought it to the United States, Macaroni and Cheese has grown to become one of America's national dishes. When Kraft Foods introduced their boxed mac and cheese in the 1930′s it was an instant hit as it was cheap, filling, and quick to make. But if you've ever tried to make macaroni and cheese from scratch you know it's anything but quick. The process usually involves making a roux, which then goes into making a sauce, which is then mixed with the macaroni before it's baked in the oven.
I'm not a huge fan of baking mac and cheese because it makes the pasta mushy on the inside and chewy on top. Also, the dairy solids and fat in the cheese tend to separate in the oven leaving you with a greasy mess. For me, the only redeeming part about an oven baked mac and cheese is the crispy bread crumb topping.
That's why I set out to make a macaroni and cheese that still has the crispy topping but can be made in around the time it takes to prepare the kind the comes out of a blue cardboard box. To accomplish this, I decided to do two things. The first was to the simplify the cheese sauce. The second was to pan fry the bread crumbs in butter so you don't need to bake the whole thing.
I know it may sound odd, but the inspiration for this simple cheese sauce came from techniques used to make chocolate ganache and cheese fondue. Normally a cheese sauce is made by cooking flour in butter and creating a roux. This not only thickens the sauce it adds richness. Chocolate ganache is made by adding chocolate directly to hot cream. I figured if you can do it with chocolate, why not do it with cheese.
Because melted cheese is already pretty thick, it doesn't need a ton of help in that department, however it does have a tendency to clump when shredded and it also tends to separates when melted. This is where the fondue technique comes in. When making fondue, you toss the shredded cheese with starch. This keeps the cheese from clumping but it also helps keep it from separating when melted. The starch also provides just a bit of thickening power to keep the sauce draped around each elbow of macaroni. The best part of doing it this way is that it eliminates the need to make a roux, which not only speeds things up, it cuts out a few steps were novice cooks often make mistakes.
I use a mixture of Cheddar and Gruyere for my mac and cheese because I like the flavor, but you could really use just about any kind of cheese that melts. I've also kept the seasonings to a minimum to really bring out the flavor of the cheese, but you can add things like sautéed onions and mushrooms or nutmeg to dress it up a bit. If you happen to end up with leftovers, try turning this into into these Fried Mac and Cheese Balls the next day.

Servings | Prep Time | Cook Time |
4 | 2 minutes | 10 minutes |
- 1 tablespoon parsley minced
- 1/3 cup panko Japanese bread crumbs
- 12 ounces dry macaroni
- 1/2 pint heavy cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 5 ounces Cheddar cheese shredded
- 2 ounces Gruyere cheese shredded
- 2 teaspoons potato starch halve if using cornstarch
- To make the breadcrumb topping, just melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the parsley and fry until the sizzling has subsided. Add the panko and fry, stirring constantly so it browns evenly. It's done when it's about the color of the crust of sandwich bread. Transfer the toasted bread crumbs to a plate and wipe out the frying pan with paper towels so you can make the sauce in it.
- Boil the macaroni according to the package directions in well salted water. In a small bowl, add the two cheeses along with the starch and toss with you fingers to evenly distribute.
- When there's about 3 minutes left on the clock for the pasta, add the cream and milk to the frying pan, and place over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, then sprinkle in the cheese a small handful at a time, using a silicone spatula to stir the mixture until each addition of cheese completely melts. Continue adding the cheese in small batches and melting until its all incorporated. Salt to taste.
- When the macaroni is done, drain it, then add it to the cheese sauce. Stir to coat with the sauce. Plate the mac and cheese and sprinkle on the toasted bread crumbs.

AAA concerned about 'silver tsunami' of older drivers
December 8, 2011 - 12:10 pm
There are new concerns about the number of older drivers on the road: AAA is calling it the "silver tsunami."
The number of drivers on the road aged 65 and older is estimated to be around 13 percent, but the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says they cause 16 percent of traffic fatalities.
Experts say you should be honest with yourself about your ability to drive as you age.
AAA is offering this test to see if you are still able to drive. Take it and see how you do.

Periodization FormsDoes anyone have or know of a source for blank Periodization Forms? I could make my own, but if someone has already done the work I see no point in duplicating it.
Thanks, but I was looking for forms online. There are blank forms in the USATF Coaching Education curriculum as well.
Excellent choice. Best to customize with a self-made spreadsheet.

If council can nix this, why don't they nix the "Assistant to the City Manager" position. Let's be consistent here. Something for the reporter to investigate.
on Feb 13, 2013 at 3:59 pm
McIntyres's arguments for FTEs sound valid but probably are fallacious and designed to make his own job easier.
Pierce's arguments for FTEs are just thin.
Good thing the Council pinned back their ears and gave McIntyre some work to do himself.
on Feb 14, 2013 at 6:47 am
Kudos to the council for rebuking an obvious move by new City Manager Alex McIntyre, who seems out to just build up his bureaucracy. Apparently he didn't have a pleasant tenure is his last position in Oregon either.
on Feb 16, 2013 at 9:42 pm
Wasn't the City Manager forced out of his last job?
on Feb 18, 2013 at 6:42 pm
There is no better use for town square than for anonymous people to propose scandal. If the new city manager had any issues at his last job, one of you "experts" would have posted a link. Apparently, Embarcadero is the only publisher willing to support this sort of behavior. I'm not suggesting that the new city manager is doing a good or bad job, only that Embarcadero is asleep at the wheel by republishing unfounded gossip.

Why do some get paid more, with less contact?
57 posts back to top |
Posted over 6 years ago It disturbs me that in the medical field that the people who spend the least amount of time and contact with patients get paid more. The more education and degrees you earn the farther you get from actually being in contact with patients. |
1 post back to top |
| Posted over 6 years ago At my hospital, we encourage our BSN and MSN nurses to remain at the bedside by giving them added differentials for their advanced degrees and for working directly with patients. We also offer tuition reimbursement. Research has shown that more education makes the mortality and morbidity rates decrease. Our nurses who work outside the patient care areas (like QI or UR) start at a lower rate. We need to keep our best nurses at the bedside and the hospital should recognize those who go on to increase their knowledge to better care for their patients. |

| Posted over 6 years ago arua14, not a single one of us nurses is going to get rich in this field. As for me, and only my opinion, I harken to a proverb from the New-T.
Just my opinion, there are much bigger issues to concider than what someone else makes, when you hired on at what you concidered to be a fair wage. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Usually people with more advanced degrees earn more because they a) have focused training and b) overall are more efficient with their time and energy because of their skills and c) they are in MUCH higher demand. |

| Posted over 6 years ago ljr3418 I am not concerned with the amount of money other people make. And I am satisified with my finances because I have never wanted for anything. Not because of my paycheck but because of my faith. I was merely stating that the people that know the most about the patients and how to care for them seem to be at the lower end of the totem pole when it comes to recogniton. And the more degrees that are obtained by an individual the farther they get from actually being in contact (ie- touching, listening, talking) to the patients. |

| Posted over 6 years ago I agree arual4 I had a MD who was excellent. He had a great bedside manner. He really listened to you.And he was so smart. You'd tell him what was going on with you and he immediately knew what to do. I loved him. But because he was so good, he go too busy. And he moved on up the corporate ladder into management. Soon he was only seeing patients 2 days a week and you could never get in to see him. Next he stopped seeing patients altogether-He was just managemant (at the top). I still miss him and have not been able to find a MD I like as well. It's a shame he doesn't see patients anymore. He had so much to give them. Now he's making the big bucks but has no patient contact. |

| Posted over 6 years ago Not all of us with advanced degrees are removed from patient contact. I have proposed, designed, set-up and will staff an outpatient HF clinic and I continue to maintain my responsiblities for inpatient HF concerns as well. Someone must do the research that the bedside nurse puts to use. I consider myself an "expert" NURSE. I hold a master's degree in NURSING, and I am licensed as a clinical NURSE specialist. If not for those of us in this sort of role, nursing would still be practiced as it was 50 years ago. |

Behavioral Health
The Path to Hope
For many, the stresses of daily living or the challenges of aging can be overwhelming. No one should have to face these problems alone. With the help of the dedicated and caring staff of Stoney Creek Behavioral Health at Wayne Memorial Hospital, you don't have to.
Located on the Hospital campus, Stoney Creek Behavioral Health provides intensive inpatient and outpatient programs. Treatment is available to adults of all ages. The treatment approach at Stoney Creek is a multi-disciplinary team model led by a board-certified psychiatrist. Stoney Creek offers a continuum of care through inpatient or outpatient treatment. Based on assessment and referral, patients may have an individualized treatment plan or attend counseling clinics where groups meet several times a week for topic-oriented sessions. Therapy is available for, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, phobias, or thought disorders.
Inpatient Services:
Patients benefit from the highly structured environment and intensive approach provided by specially trained nurses, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, and the psychiatrists. A registered nurse provides round-the-clock care and monitoring. The multidisciplinary team composed of the psychiatrist, registered nurse, licensed clinical social workers, physical and occupational therapists, and technicians provide care using an individualized treatment plan during the Hospital stay, and assist with transition plans for continued care upon discharge. Modalities of medication management, recreation therapy, and group sessions are incorporated into the individualized treatment plan to assist in stabilizing the patient's psychiatric crisis.
Outpatient Services:
Patients also benefit from a level of structure and stability that can be provided in the outpatient setting. The program is supervised by the board certified psychiatrist and therapy facilitated by a licensed clinical social worker. Group sessions offered assist the adult and senior adult with independent life skills, healthy living and coping skills, depression, self-esteem issues, and other mental health problems. Individual and family therapy is also available if deemed necessary by the psychiatrist. This program also provides transportation for those in need.

Encapsulation (object-oriented programming)
In programming languages, encapsulation is used to refer to one of two related but distinct notions, and sometimes to the combination[1][2] thereof:
- A language mechanism for restricting access to some of the object's components.[3][4]
- A language construct that facilitates the bundling of data with the methods (or other functions) operating on that data.[5][6]
Some programming language researchers and academics use the first meaning alone or in combination with the second as a distinguishing feature of object-oriented programming, while other programming languages which provide lexical closures view encapsulation as a feature of the language orthogonal to object orientation.
The second definition is motivated by the fact that in many OOP languages hiding of components is not automatic or can be overridden; thus, information hiding is defined as a separate notion by those who prefer the second definition.
As information hiding mechanism[edit]
Under this definition, encapsulation means that the internal representation of an object is generally hidden from view outside of the object's definition. Typically, only the object's own methods can directly inspect or manipulate its fields. Some languages like Smalltalk and Ruby (this isn't clear, Ruby has a private
keyword to make methods private) only allow access via object methods, but most others (e.g. C++, C# or Java) offer the programmer a degree of control over what is hidden, typically via keywords like public
and private
.[4] It should be noted that the ISO C++ standard refers to protected
, private
and public
as "access specifiers" and that they do not "hide any information". Information hiding is accomplished by furnishing a compiled version of the source code that is interfaced via a header file.
Hiding the internals of the object protects its integrity by preventing users from setting the internal data of the component into an invalid or inconsistent state. A benefit of encapsulation is that it can reduce system complexity, and thus increases robustness, by allowing the developer to limit the inter-dependencies between software components.
Almost always, there is a way to override such protection – usually via reflection API (Ruby, Java, C#, etc.), sometimes by mechanism like name mangling (Python), or special keyword usage like friend
in C++.
Below is an example in C# that shows how access to a data field can be restricted through the use of a private
class Program { public class Account { private decimal accountBalance = 500.00m; public decimal CheckBalance() { return accountBalance; } } static void Main() { Account myAccount = new Account(); decimal myBalance = myAccount.CheckBalance(); /* This Main method can check the balance via the public * "CheckBalance" method provided by the "Account" class * but it cannot manipulate the value of "accountBalance" */ } }
Below is an example in Java:
public class Employee { private BigDecimal salary = new BigDecimal(50000.00); public BigDecimal getSalary() { return salary; } public static void main() { Employee e = new Employee(); BigDecimal sal = e.getSalary(); } }
Encapsulation is also possible in older, non-object-oriented languages. In C, for example, a structure can be declared in the public API (i.e., the header file) for a set of functions that operate on an item of data containing data members that are not accessible to clients of the API:
// Header file "api.h" struct Entity; // Opaque structure with hidden members // API functions that operate on 'Entity' objects extern struct Entity * open_entity(int id); extern int process_entity(struct Entity *info); extern void close_entity(struct Entity *info);
Clients call the API functions to allocate, operate on, and deallocate objects of an opaque type. The contents of this type are known and accessible only to the implementation of the API functions; clients cannot directly access its contents. The source code for these functions defines the actual contents of the structure:
// Implementation file "api.c" #include "api.h" // Complete definition of the 'Entity' object struct Entity { int ent_id; // ID number char ent_name[20]; // Name ... and other members ... }; // API function implementations struct Entity * open_entity(int id) { ... } int process_entity(struct Entity *info) { ... } void close_entity(struct Entity *info) { ... }
General definition[edit]
In general, encapsulation is one of the four fundamentals of OOP (object-oriented programming). Encapsulation refers to the bundling of data with the methods that operate on that data.[7] Encapsulation is used to hide the values or state of a structured data object inside a class, preventing unauthorized parties' direct access to them. Publicly accessible methods are generally provided in the class (so-called getters and setters) to access the values, and other client classes call these methods to retrieve and modify the values within the object.
This mechanism is not unique to object-oriented programming. Implementations of abstract data types, e.g. modules, offer a similar form of encapsulation. This similarity stems from the fact that both notions rely on the same mathematical fundament of an existential type.[8]
In combination[edit]
This section requires expansion. (December 2009) |
With regard to combination (or bundling) data, this is prevalent in any object that is created. An object's state will depend on its methods that do work on or with the object's internal data.
An analogy can be made here with the notion of a capsule, which not only encloses its contents, but also protects it from the exterior environment.[2]

What to Eat at 1 a.m. (and Not Feel Bad About at 8 a.m.)Savory and sweet midnight snacks that are quick, easy and indulgent—but not so heavy that you'll wake up with a food hangover.

Turn Bananas Into MagicWe didn't believe it until we tried it, but blitzing frozen bananas in a food processor really does transform them into a convincing alternative to soft-serve ice cream. Put the frozen fruit in the bowl of a food processor and pulse a few times to break it up. Then, run the machine for about five minutes, scraping down the bowl occasionally. Transfer to a different bowl and eat immediately or let the puree set up in the freezer for 15 minutes or until it's scoopable. Cinnamon, shaved dark chocolate or crushed, low-calorie ginger snaps make great toppings, as does maple syrup (try Tonewood Dark Amber; just a small spoonful adds the perfect amount of sweetness).

Little Girl finds her mom's magazines Part 4
Fiction, Discipline, Domination/submission, Lesbian, Spanking
Author's infos
Gender: Female Age: Secret Location: Canada
Posted: 2011-05-09
The final chapter
Part 4
We continued to make love all week and all daylong, for years. When Sophie's father came home we had to keep our love sessions on the down low.
The week before her 13 birthday while, I was licking my sweet girl's pussy, I demanded her to seduce her father in to fucking her.
"Why do you want me to seduce daddy, Mistress?"
"Because I would love to see his cock deep inside your tight, hot little pussy."
"Okay Mistress. I will seduce daddy for you."
"Good girl" I rewarded her by letting her cum.
Over the next few days Sophie did a wonderful job of flirting with her dad. She wore skimpy clothes around the house, rubbed her ass against his cock while sitting in his lap while they watched TV. I knew it was working. I could see the lust in his eyes. I could see the hard on that he thought no one noticed. And his nightly fuck sessions with me were the hottest we ever had.
On the day of her birthday I told Sophie that it was time. It was a Sunday and Tom had the day off. I said that I had to go to town for a few hours. I got in the car and drove off.
****Sophie point of view****
As soon as mom left I asked dad if he wanted to watch a movie with me.
"Sure Pumpkin. What did you want to watch?"
"It is a surprise. Sit on the couch, Dad, and I will put the movie in and will join you."
I put in the DVD. It was one of the porno movies my parents like to watch late at night. That's what my mom told me. She also told me which one was dad's favourite.
"Would you like some popcorn Dad?"
"Sure that sounds yummy."
"With butter on it?"
I went into the kitchen and put the popcorn bag in the microwave. I took out two bowls and filled them equally. I put butter on them and I made sure that dad's popcorn had lots of butter, just how he like it. I went back to the living room and sat in dad's lap like I usually do. I handed him the popcorn.
"Here you are dad."
"Thanks sweetie."
The movie started. Dad realized that it was his favourite porno that we were watching. He shifted uncomfortably.
"Honey. Where did you find this?"
"I your closet on the top shelf. Why daddy?"
"Well I don't think we should watch this movie. You are too young to watch this kind of movie."
He took the remote and pauses the movie. The scene showed and older woman licking and a younger woman's cunt.
"Please dad let me watch it. Please!!!!!"
"I don't know sweetheart."
"PLEASE Dad. Please with sugar and a cherry on top"
I put on my puppy eye look, which is something that he cannot resist.
"Thanks dad"
He press play on the remote. The scene continues. Both girls start to moan. I innocently grinned my ass into dad's groin. I know that it turns him on every time I do that to him. I take his arms and wrap them around me. His hands start to rub my tummy. Mmmm. I love it when dad rubs my tummy. It feels so good. I feel his hands move slowly up to my breast. Dad never touched my breasts. I guess my week of seducing him is finally getting to him. His hands start to rub my breasts; massaging them; pulling them. I let out a little moan.
"You know sweetie you have been teasing me all week and you are having me watch a porno with you. I think something should be done about your behavior missy."
"What are you going to do to me dad?"
"Well first I am going to give you a good spanking for teasing me."
"No daddy, please. Don't spank me. I will be good."
"A little late to beg don't you think sweetheart."
He moves me so that I am lying, with my ass in the air, across his. He pulls down my shorts and panties.
"No dad. Not on my bare bum."
"That is exactly what I plan to do. A nice bare ass spanking is what you have in store."
Thwack, thwack.
His slaps are much harder than mom's. It stings so badly.
"Please daddy stop! It hurts!"
He ignores me. Even though he is much more rough with my spanking than mom it still has the same effect. My pussy starts to leak my juices. I feel dad stop spanking me and starts to rub my burning hot ass. His fingers travel along my ass crack heading down toward my pussy. I moan as his fingers push into my wet depths.
"Does my little girl like having her ass spanked by her dad?"
"Yes." I moan.
He flips me over and removes my shorts and panties completely. Then he removes my shirt and bra revealing my blooming breasts.
"Oh honey you are so gorgeous."
"Really dad?"
"Yes baby you are hot and sexy too."
He leans in and kisses me on the lips. Our tongues dance together. He kisses my neck and down my chest to my left breast. He sucks, licks, and nibbles it. His left hand massages my right breast. Then he switches. He kisses down my tummy, swirling his tongue around my belly button. He moves down to my dripping pussy. He breathes in my aroma.
"Oh baby you smell so good. Do you taste as good as you smell?"
He licks my slit.
"MMMM… Yes you do."
He devours my pussy. Licking it, sucking it, biting it. He pushes a finger into my love hole. He adds two more. He attacks my clit, which sends me over the edges. I buck and shake under him. He pulls away.
"Daddy please fuck me."
"What did you just say?"
"Please, daddy, fuck me. Fuck your little girl please!"
"Honey I can't. It is wrong. It is bad enough that I licked you. There is no way I am going to have sex with you."
"Please daddy. I promise I won't tell anyone. No would know I swear. Just you and me. Please dad. Please!"
I stroke his cock in my small hands.
"Honey. No stop."
His voice was weak. His sex instinct was driving him crazy. He finally gives in pushes me back and guides him cock in to my pussy. It hurt at first but then it felt amazing.
During our fucking mom came home in the middle of the action. She keeps quiet and watches.
Dad's thrusts increase in speed. He is about to cum and so am I. We cum in unison moaning and groaning together. We lay side-by-side trying to catch or breath.
"Was she good honey," my mom finally asks.
"Shit! When did you get home?"
"A few minutes ago. Don't worry honey. I planned this all."
"You did!"
"Yes and I have a confession to make. Sophie and I have been having sex since she was 8."
"Is this true?" Dad asks me.
"Yes dad. It is."
" Now honey. I know this is a big shock for you but you always told me that you wanted a threesome and who better to do it with than our very own daughter. No one will know about it. It will be our family secrete."
My dad was stun by what my mom was telling him but I could tell he was thinking about it.
"Well. I guess you are right Olivia. If none of us tells anyone then what is the harm?"
"Good I glad it is settled. Sophie come over here so I can lick dad's cum from that sweet pussy of yours."
I go over to mom and sit on her face. Dad comes over and starts to lick mom's pussy. It isn't long before mom and I are both cumming. I get off mom's face so I can watch the show this time. And oh what a show it was. They went from missionary, to doggy style and finally finishing with cowgirl where mom rode dad long and hard until they both screamed as they orgasm. As I watched the show I couldn't help myself from masturbating. I came three times while watching them.
Our life from that day on was a happy, interesting and exciting.
***I hope you enjoyed the series. I sure enjoyed writing them and being supported by my readers comments. Thank you to all. :)

Now that we have the time and location set, let us have a look around. You can pan the display using the arrow keys. If you hold down the Shift key before panning, the scrolling speed is increased. The display can also be panned by clicking and dragging with the mouse. Note that while the display is scrolling, not all objects are displayed. This is done to cut down on the CPU load of recomputing object positions, which makes the scrolling smoother (you can configure what gets hidden while scrolling in the Configure KStars window). There are several ways to change the magnification (or Zoom level) of the display:
Use the + and - keys
Press the Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons in the toolbar
Select / from the menu
Select from the menu. This allows you to specify the field-of-view angle for the display, in degrees.
Use the scroll wheel on your mouse
Drag the mouse up and down with the
mouse button pressed.Hold down Ctrl while dragging the mouse. This will allow you to define a rectangle in the map. When you release the mouse button, the display will zoom to match the rectangle.
Notice that as you zoom in, you can see fainter stars than at lower zoom settings.
Zoom out until you can see a green curve; this represents your local horizon. If you have not adjusted the default KStars configuration, the display will be solid green below the horizon, representing the solid ground of the Earth. There is also a white curve, which represents the celestial equator, and a brown curve, which represents the Ecliptic, the path that the Sun appears to follow across the sky over the course of a year. The Sun is always found somewhere along the Ecliptic, and the planets are never far from it.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The folks at Wedding Paper Divas did an amazing job getting my Save the Date to be exactly what I wanted and more! I couldn't be happier! The color quality was awesome and the pictures were very clear. Everyone was easy to work with and helped me understand the design and order process. I appreciate all the care that went into my order and can't wait to use this website again for my invitations!"
"My save the date turned out beautiful! I added the pearl shimmer and it was a great touch. I got a ton of compliments from them and I thought the quality was great. The customer service was excellent, they were quick, and answered all questions I had. They were even able to add my wedding website in, which I was concerned about because it was a long URL. They even sent a card after thanking me for my business and congratulating me on my engagement. I will definitely be using Wedding Paper Divas for my Invitations, Thank yous and anything else I need. Also, I specifically recommend this save the date, it's gorgeous and showcases lots of pictures!"
"The magnet was great! My fiancée & I handed them out at our engagement party and our guests loved it! My only complaint is that the template does not accommodate very many characters for name and location. Otherwise it's perfect!"
"I ordered this magnet for our destination wedding. I fell in love with it when I first saw it on the website and after searching for others, none came even close to this one! We received many compliments from our guests, highly recommend it. The shipping was fast and efficient. The picture quality is good, could be better, but we loved it anyway! It would be great if they had matching invites, announcements, and thank you cards."
"The magnet quality is excellent, couldn't rate it though. Very professional looking, smaller than expected but not too small. We love it and can't wait to send them out!"

1. What's the quickest legal route to joy?
Spending time with my family. My nieces and nephew always know how to make me smile! 2. What's one thing that's always overrated? One thing? No way. How about (a) movie premieres, (b) Fashion Week, (c) benefit galas and (d) the Real Housewives franchise? How jaded do I sound? But, really, it's all work...so the grass is always greener. 3. What makes you still? Meditation—I can't live without it. 4. What words do you live by? "The first time someone shows you who they are, believe them." —Maya Angelou 5. What's the hardest truth to tell? I am known for saying what your best friends won't—but sometimes that's hard for me too. 6. What makes a person fearless? Confidence with a healthy dose of ego. 7. What do you ask yourself most often? When in communication with others, I often ask myself, "What is my intention while having this conversation?" 8. When/how did you last surprise yourself? By losing so much weight when I was just trying to lower my blood pressure by simply changing what and how I ate. 9. What's the most daring thing you've done? Zip-lining in Costa Rica and getting stuck over a huge waterfall. 10. How do you stay calm in a tense situation? I try to step away from the situation and become a witness to it to hear and see what is really going on before I react. And I use some pranic breathing techniques. 11. What are you an expert at?

Cocktail Party Snack Mix
Party mix is one of those funny things that everyone seems to have their own personal spin on. Some are die-hard "from scratch" people while others are bagged mix all the way. Whichever way you swing, try adding some crushed up raw ramen noodles to the fold. They're tender but provide a great satisfying crunch.

Like I said, I use Downcast for podcasts since Apple broke the podcast functions that I used. If Downcast does other types of content, I'm not aware of it, nor have I looked for that. I've always used Audible for audiobooks, so have never needed iTunes for that, and I don't mix music, podcasts and audiobooks on a playlist.
If you find an app that does that, you might post about it, in case other users might like it.
For music, I'm increasingly using Amazon's cloud player app, because it lets me use my music across platforms, including my iOS, Android and Windows devices.
I've always tried to avoid buying content that would tie me to any one hardware maker, because I want the flexibility to take my content with me, no matter what hardware I choose over the years. I also am trying to wean myself off iTunes as much as possible, so apps like Downcast, Audible, Amazon cloud player, etc., are more appealing to me than ever.
As much as I like my iDevices, I also increasingly like Android devices. I'm interested in what Microsoft might come out with, too. I'd like to see much more competition for our dollars, because it puts pressure on companies to serve users better. For instance, if tablet competition were stronger, Apple couldn't as easily get away with breaking features, because we'd have more alternatives.
Even Apple fans should root for more competition, because that's the only chance of their not being entirely at the mercy of Apple's whims.

There's an animation legend that some of the original Disney animators made a "stag film" with Mickey and Minnie Mouse for one of Walt Disneys' birthday parties. Even though he laughed at the film, he had all copies burned and fired the people who did the work
+4 -
I know a very talented animator who is going thru the Disney Talent Development program…he's poised to be the next gen of animators making very cool future Disney movies. I cannot wait to see what he does.
I worked with him at his first art job at a game company. Helped him do background paintings. He has FAR surpassed anything I could hope to do. He's paid his dues…I wish him HUGE successes!
Noteworthy Comment +11 -
Beautiful! Loved it.

True art is transcendent and sweet and sometimes makes you cry. Thank you, BFH, for the beautiful toon.

I like the retro style and enjoyed it more in the black and white format. Very well done.

That was wonderful and sweet!

Was that the paper airplane at the end doing Tinkerbell's work over Cinderella's castle?

Great cartoon! Been there before.

I saw that with my kids before a showing of Wreck It Ralph at a local IMAX. Fun to watch in 3D.
+5 -
You find the coolest stuff, Fur.
+3 -
Great animation.
I do have one question, though, that has been haunting me for a while: just when did Disney animators decide to give their heroines, Giant Squid eyes? And why?
Plus they seem to be getting incrementally larger and larger as time goes by. I'm sort of afraid to project what a Disney animated heroine's face will look like in a few years' time.

Beautiful! And wait wait 'til Disney comes out in a week or two with the two homosexuals. Wow! Talk about capturing America's heart!

text: The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito recently unveiled its new Center for a Healthy Lifestyle and Organic Garden for Children, which represent the final phase of Share the Dream, the renovation project of its Solana Beach facility. The Organic Garden for Children, which features a windmill, sun dial, rain barrels, theme fountain, and hydro growing display, gives children the opportunity to learn how to grow their own vegetables, fruits, herbs, and flowers, and hosts a farmers' market so they can sell what they have grown to benefit the garden. Share the Dream chairperson Barbara Harper notes, "The children will be able to harvest their own food and learn how to cook for healthy meals. Obesity is such a big problem for everyone, so it is important to teach children and their parents about healthy eating and living. Our new facility will be beneficial to our families and the entire community." The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle also conducts classes for the community about nutrition and cooking featuring leading nutritionists and local chefs. In addition, the center is available for meetings and event rentals. (858/755-9371, www.positiveplacesd.org) JANE SHIOMI

Low blood sodium (hyponatremia) occurs when you have an abnormally low amount of sodium in your blood, or when you have too much water in your blood. Low blood sodium is common in older adults, especially those who are hospitalized or living in long-term care facilities.
