About this location
The Lombardy region
One of Italy's largest regions, Lombardy lies in the north of the country, sharing a border with Switzerland.
Stretching from the Alps to the lowlands of the Po Valley, it is home to a wide range of landscapes, including the breathtaking mountain chain that boasts the Valchiavenna, Valtellina and the Camonica Valley.
Winter sports enthusiasts will find no lack of state-of-the-art facilities in Lombardy, for example in the extremely popular resorts of Tonale, Bormio, Livigno and Madesimo.
Another aspect that defines the region is its expanse of rolling hills that encompass the distinctive Franciacorta area, famous for its vineyards and wine production. The charm of the great lakes is a great tourist draw, attracting visitors to Sirmione and other well known destinations dotting the western coast of Lake Garda, while Lake Como and Lake Maggiore are no less beautiful, surrounded as they are by stately homes, parks and picturesque small towns.
The region is also characterized by the great flat tracts of the Po Valley lowlands, covered by shimmering mirrors of water and rice paddies: this is the typical landscape of Lomellina, the land of rice harvesters, steeped in tradition.
The region has countless other distinctive facets. Lombardy, aided by its geographic position and fertile soil, will captivate you - nature, history, art and culture marry in harmony with innovation, technology, fashion, entertainment, and a contemporary outlook.
Large, lively and industrious, the Province of Milan is the second most populous in Italy. Its territory extends over a stretch of the Po Valley and includes the River Ticino to the west, and the River Adda to the east. It is shaped by its waterways: river and canals that traverse it and sometimes border it, from the Lambro and Olana Rivers to the numerous canals, the Navigli Milanesi, ancient links between the area's major water runs. These runs link farmsteads and villages like that of Corneliano Bertario with the Castello Borromeo Castle; and ancient noble villas, such as the Inzago Villa near the Naviglio Martesana, to the Canale Villoresi, thought to be the longest man-made canal in Italy. The Villoresi marks the natural southern border of Brianza, an area in Lombardy noted for its mountains, lakes and plains.
The territory of Milan contains six regional natural parks: Parco Adda Nord, Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, Parco delle Groane, Parco Nord Milano, Parco della Valle del Lambro and the Parco Lombardo della Valle del Ticino.
Half the Province of Milan is agricultural and flood plain, and most of it is protected by reserves. Each of these habitats features a variety of natural, country and architectural landscapes of great interest.
Reassessment of the artistic heritage of Milan and its province eventually led to a better understanding of the historical periods during which the city was planned and developed, and its most important monuments erected. Roman-era Milan, for instance (or Mediolanum, as it was known in Antiquity), is hidden within museums, inside churches, palaces, and in the underground excavations, often found squeezed between today's structures.
The city's major period of development was the Renaissance, which coincided with princely rule of Milan. During this period, the Sforzesco Castle and the Filarete Tower were built, with Parco Sempione just behind, in the heart of the city and in view of the Cathedral, a great symbol of Milan's power at the time, and a fine example of the Gothic style. Next to Piazza Duomo is the Vittorio Emanuele II Gallery, considered the "living room" of Milan for its elegance and for interior shops. One of the best-known buildings is the neo-classical Palazzo Reale, alongside the Cathedral, now hosting art exhibitions. Not far away is the Ambrosiana Library and Painting Gallery, with its rich collection of canvases by great artists such as Caravaggio, Titian, and Raphael. Then, the Brera Gallery, in the eponymous district, hosts another major collection of Italian paintings, including masterpieces the caliber of the Dead Christ by Andrea Mantenga. The Poldi Pezzoli Museum, rather, is regarded as one of the largest museums in Europe for number of works. Hidden away is Santa Maria delle Grazie, a church bearing the work of Bramante (in the church and old sacristy) and Leonardo da Vinci, whose beloved The Last Supper is housed in the refectory of the convent annexed to the church.
Marrying culture and sports, and certainly one of the city's most iconic structures, is Milan's San Siro Stadium, that hosts the first and only Museum inside a soccer stadium. The Museum narrates the history of Milan's two teams, Inter and Milan, by way of singular "relics" from the sport's history.
So much artistic wealth should not overshadow the nearby towns in the rest of the Province, boasting a few artistic treasures of their own: castles, villas, abbeys and palaces. One of the most important is Monza with its Villa Reale, its park and its Cathedral.
In Corbetta, the Casa Corbellino or Castelletto is a typical example of a building constructed over the remains of a castle, later restored and expanded. In Novate Milanese, the Casa de' Busti and the Oratory of Saints Nazaro and Celso (Gesiò) are typical examples of a noble residence and an oratory dating back to the 16th Century. Of great interest in Abbiategrasso is the Church of Santa Maria Nuova, whose facade is adorned with the large porticoes designed by Bramante. Just a few miles away, on high ground dominating the Ticino Valley, stands the Abbey of Morimondo, an exemplar of fine Cistercian architecture from the 12th Century.?
Milan's Medieval abbeys are also unique draws: Chiaravalle and Morimondo of the Cistercian order, Viboldone and Mirasole of the Humiliati order. North of the regional capital, the elegant villas offer parks and nymphaeums of incomparable beauty; to the east of the city, on the River Adda, art meets nature and offers magnificent examples of industrial architecture amidst the natural surroundings: the hydroelectric power station of Taccani at Trezzo Sull'Adda is one of these.
Castles are another piece of the territorial assets. The Castello Borromeo d'Adda stands on the river banks of the Muzza at Cassano d'Adda, and dates from the 9th Century; restoration works here have even uncovered frescoes from the school of Giotto. In Legnano, the Castello di San Giorgio was built atop a pre-existing Augustinian convent in the 13th Century. In Cusago, the Visconti Castle is regarded as a major example of castle architecture in the region. And finally, in the zone south of Milan reside San Colombano al Lambro and the Castello Belgioioso, in addition to Casalpusterlengo, with its crenellated Tower of Pusterla.
Milan is most known for industry, finance and fashion, but a greener Milan of Arcadian beauty absolutely exists: think winding rivers, e.g. the Adda that forms rapids and canyons in the northern area of Trezzo; and the Ticino, traversing wood-abundant lands and small islands, and protected by the Natural Freshwater Park, perhaps the largest in Europe. The enitre zone is even crossed by channeled, often subterranean waters first created by monks from the Middle Ages, whose labor improved the Po River Valley. Later, Leonardo Da Vinci lived here during the Sforzas' dominance, inventing a system - the famous Navigli Milanesi - to regulate the canals' water levels and make them navigable.

Boston Harbor Cleanup Gets Rolling. ENVIRONMENT
BOSTON Harbor - the dirtiest harbor in the land - became a national political and environmental symbol last summer when candidate George Bush came to town to step along the grimy, litter-washed shoreline of Gov. Michael Dukakis's capital city. But few of the national reporters flying out over Boston Harbor from Logan Airport later that day, noticed, or wrote about, the activity below them on a small island off the town of Winthrop. Deer Island is the main construction site for the Boston Harbor cleanup - the biggest public-works project in New England history.
Expected to cost $7 billion over the next 10 years, the cleanup is the outcome of years of court orders, environmental studies, and New England political consensus building combined with shrewd Yankee trading over how and where the project would to be located.
From the Pilgrims through the Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s to the present, the harbor has been a huge watery wastebasket. Today, 480 million gallons of raw sewage are pumped into it every day. Much of that waste is toxic and separated only into solid and liquid waste to break down the bacteria.
The cleanup involves building two treatment plants on Deer Island that will release purified water out a massive tunnel 300 feet below the ocean floor and extending nine miles into the Atlantic. It will be the biggest tunnel of its kind in the world.
Already, in spite of the national image of the harbor and the fact that many Bostonians don't know specifics (``I just know the water is dirty and they want to clean it,'' says a local waiter), the pollution is being stanched.
``The work started three or four years ago, and the process is well under way - despite what you may have seen on TV commercials,'' says Paul Levy, who as head of the Massachusetts Water Resource Authority (MWRA) is in charge of the project. ``Year by year now the harbor is going to get cleaner.''
Last December the MWRA introduced equipment that eliminates the 6,000 gallons of ``scum,'' or floating waste, that used to be pumped into the harbor daily - resulting in a coastline that will soon be free of debris.

All the distributions I know they ship with the development version as their default. The code in the 1.5 branch is quite stable and very well tested. Please don't ask why the mutt developers,doesn't release a new version based on that branch. This version (1.5.13) is almost six months old and by the time that Blfs will get a new release it would be safe to consider this version "stable enough".If a bug found until we release,then we can just backport the fix and done with it. And besides that (which for me are good enough reasons to continue to use development versions),the note in the mutt instructions (why we use a development version) still applies for the 18.104.22.168. The 188.8.131.52 was out there when we have decided to include the development version in the Book instead of stable. In fact 18.104.22.168 is still the 1.4.2 release with 2 backported patches to fix 2 vulnerabilities. And I don't know anyone in developer stuff (besides Archaic),that is using the stable version. And to be honest,I hate to change my config just to test the stable version. It's one of the most critical applications in my systems and I don't want to make changes that will affect my daily activity. Oh and I guess,we can close the #2072. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/ticket/2279#comment:3> BLFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs> Beyond Linux From Scratch

Turkey's rank improves in global transparency report
Progress is cited by the government as some officials call for a stronger and more consistent approach, including judicial independence.
By Alakbar Raufoglu for SES Türkiye -- 11/12/12
Turkey has been ranked 54th in a recent global anti-corruption survey, improving from its ranking of 61st in the same survey one year ago.
Traders work at the Istanbul stock exchange. Turkey said its pro-business approach and anti-corruption efforts work hand-in-hand. [AFP]

Turkey finished in the top third of the review, which was conducted by the Berlin-based watchdog organization Transparency International and issued earlier this month.
Five EU members -- Slovakia, Romania, Italy, Bulgaria and Greece -- lag behind Turkey in the scoring.
Denmark, Finland and New Zealand are the most virtuous countries in this year's report, while two-thirds of the 176 countries ranked below 50.
"These results showing that public institutions need to be more transparent, and powerful officials more accountable," Transparency International said in a statement, adding that it has "consistently warned euro zone countries to deal with corruption as they tackle a financial crisis."
Turkey has in the past faced periodic criticism for corruption, but the ruling AK Party officials pride their government as "pro-business" and said they are committed to rooting out corruption.
"Development cannot step forward with corruption," Hasan Fehmi Kinay, AKP MP and the party's vice chairman for economy affairs, told SES Turkiye. "Our target is to get among first 20-30 countries in the Transparency International's list in the near future."
Transparency has been one of AKP government's " main economic goals during the past 10 years," according to Kinay.
"We've followed an honest policy," he added.
Only during the past several years, he said, major international anti-corruption conventions have been signed and ratified. Besides that, "an anti-corruption action plan has been adopted in 2010 and the government has implemented reforms aimed at reducing red tape and related opportunities for corruption as well as improving the country's business environment."
"Almost every government project is being announced through the public tenders and 30 percent of the tender winners are among the private hands," he added. "It's absolutely in government's interest to further increase public awareness [of the project] and promote public supervising of the administration which handled the task."
This approach has influence since the public sector "gets its lesson by looking at politicians," Kinay said.
"We see now that a job done for 3 liras before is now done for 2 liras," he said. "So, now there are no more taps."
In spite of these measures, for many economic analysts, such as Erol Tuncer, head of the Social Economic, Political Research Foundation, progress in the fight against corruption remains limited, and concerns have been raised in a number of areas.
"Transparency in public administration so far has failed … This is about the understanding of the business, the regulatory work and the political will," he told SES Türkiye.
Tuncer said there is no nationwide central body in Turkey that is in charge of developing and evaluating anti-corruption policies. Also, there is inadequate coordination of the various institutions involved in the fight against corruption, he said.
"Any business member could tell you that the country has an unhealthy government control on them and the rules are being changed very rapidly," he said. "For example, the Public Procurement Act organised on the basis of transparency has been changed a lot of times. Unfortunately this is undermining the end of corruption in public administration."
As for the Transparency International's report, Tuncer said, "the criteria of such surveys might not be debated, but they certainly don't express Turkey's reality." For Ali Riza Ozturk, a CHP MP and member the Turkish delegation to the Black Sea Economic Co-operation Parliamentarian Assembly, Turkey has "a long way to go" in terms of openness and being corruption-free.
"[The] Transparency list doesn't explain anything," Ozturk told SES Türkiye.
"The important thing is how our society feels about Turkey's economic reality," he said. "Nothing has changed during the past years."
Ozturk also said improving Turkey's transparency and business climate would also require the government to guarantee independence of the nation's legal system.
"How can one talk about transparency in the country where judiciary is subject to government influence, and judges are not well trained for commercial cases," he said.
Ozturk said he believes the condition of transparency in Turkey is "a political problem."
"For example, prosecutors' investigating the theft of Zakat being dismissed in our country, but the government doesn't open the case against the perpetrators," he said.

What emerged was the instrument we know today as the Great Highland Bagpipe, and a form of music, piobaireachd, which is unique to the instrument. It is a very stylized form of music. There is freedom in the theme or "ground" of the piobaireachd to express joy, sadness, or sometimes in the "gathering" tunes , a peremptory warning or call to arms.
The Little Spree
Thereafter the theme is repeated and underlined in a series of variations, which usually progress to the "crunluath" variation, where the piper's fingers give a dazzling technical display of embellishment or gracenotes.

The Castle of College Avenue Series
- Part 1: The Biollo Family.
- Part 2: The Biollos' Fall.
- Part 3: Rabbi Cantor and Beyond.
- Part 1: The Biollo Family.
- Part 2: The Biollos' Fall.
- Part 3: Rabbi Cantor and Beyond.
The Castle, 494 College Avenue, ca. 1907 and now ! (Click for sources)
The Biollo brothers quickly climbed the ladder of success in their new hometown. By 1906 they had a number of business interests on the go and all lived together in their fine, new home on College Avenue. The following year, however, things quickly unraveled on them.
In the spring of 1907 brother Angelo lost three of his children in a single week due to scarlet fever.
The ongoing construction of the Mount Royal (today known as the Garrick) Hotel then hit a major, fatal obstacle.
When the Biollo brothers, with Olivio as the lead, began building the Mount Royal (now Garrick) Hotel in 1906 it was with the assumption that it would be in a liquor license zone. They were wrong.
New liquor regulations and temperance zones were drawn up for the entire city in 1906. The map of the downtown area showed that the Mount Royal site was inside a liquor zone but the lengthy written description of the boundaries contained a typographical error that actually cut the zone back one block. This left the Mount Royal in a temperance zone. Despite pleas to the provincial government, a petition by neighbouring business owners and even a face to face meeting between Olivio Biollo and the Premier, no exception was granted.
The Biollos could not make a go of the hotel without a liquor license and within weeks of its November 1907 opening creditors seized it.
Politics may have been at play as well. Post-1906 the issuing of liquor licenses and drawing up of liquor zone boundaries were political plums used by Rodmond Roblin's Conservative government. I talk about the issue in my post about Elmwood's Riverview Hotel. In 1906 that hotel was being built in what was believed to be a temperance zone only to get a liquor license issued days before the doors opened.
It was not just the Biollos who were building a hotel on Garry Street. Right next door the Leclaire (now Windsor) Hotel ownership group were building the Wellington Hotel. When creditors seized the Mount Royal it was leased to the Leclaire group and they operated both buildings under the Wellington Hotel name.
It seems odd that two groups would make the same, costly mistake. The Leclaire group initially claimed that they were fine operating the Wellington as a temperance hotel but on December 8, 1908, just months after the Mount Royal was seized, the board of license commissioners met to approve a single item: a liquor license for the Wellington Hotel !
The Free Press, an opponent of liberal liquor laws, picked up the matter. They said that the commission had no right to 'break the law' by granting a license in a temperance zone, typo or not. They called it a "...political job done in a hole-and-corner manner" (Free Press, Jan 16, 1909) and tracked down Olivio Biollo who said that he felt "grossly wronged" (Free Press, Jan 14, 1909).
Debate filled the pages for a few weeks but, ultimately, it made no difference.
To add fuel to the fire, the creditor fighting Olivio Biollo was John Arbuthnot, the building materials and lumber yard magnate (and one-time mayor of Winnipeg). He was a staunch conservative. Arbuthnot was after Biollo for construction material costs related to the Mount Royal, (and likely The Castle as well).
Arbuthnot won the decision and the seized hotel was sold off for about two thirds of what it cost to construct. This left Biollo still on the hook so he had to sell his interest in the Venetian Café on Portage Avenue. There is no mention of The Castle on College Avenue but a few months later the Biollos disappear from the house.
I cannot find a record of who bought the properties but the city's historic buildings committee report for both the Mount Royal (Garrick) Hotel and The Castle claim John Arbuthnot as the owner, though he clearly wasn't involved with either property until after they were built and the lawsuit was won. Perhaps he purchased the hotel and house for a song before selling them off again ?
Back at square one Olivio Biollo packed up and left Winnipeg for Rivers Manitoba in 1910. After a year there it was on to Alberta. You can pick up on the Alberta side of his story here.
Part 3 coming soon !

Motivation: | FeatureCollection is not a java.util.Collection | |
Contact: | ||
Tracker: | ||
Tagline: |
This page represents the current plan; for discussion please check the tracker link above.
FeatureCollection needs to lighten up to be happy; the original FeatureCollection implementation was a java.util.Collection offering iterator based access to features stored in memory. When the data access layer was rewritten for DataStore the concept of a FeatureResults was introduced wich could be thought of as a "prepared statement" (able to fetch results each time it was asked). This is a nice light weight "streaming" model for data access that does not force us to load the data into memory.
The intension was to treat it a bit more like a Java ResultSet (so several iterators could be open against the same paged results). But the road to hell is paved with good intensions.
And the FeatureResults interface was in for some hell: 2.1.x Bring Back FeatureCollection was a last ditch community lead request to bring back the FeatureCollection api and allow iterators to be used (thus not existing current code). The compromise that was reached was to ask users to FeatureCollection.close( Iterator ) each iterator after use; so that we could still offer a nice streaming based approach to data access.
For GeoTools 2.5.x we made the migration to Java 5 and we could no longer allow FeatureCollection to implement java.util.Collection because of the new "for each" syntax did not offer a callback for us to close our iterators. Justin started Focus FeatureSource around FeatureReader and FeatureWriter, however all we had time for was the bare minimum to make Java 5 not a fatal opportunity for client code to leak memory.
In the spirit of Bring Back FeatureCollection here is our last minuet 2.7.x request to complete the journey; formally recognise that FeatureCollection is not a java.util.Collection and turf Iterator access (and other concepts that mirror in memory storage).
First up is the add/remove listeners; a recent code review shows that they are only implemented by the new JDBCNG FeatureCollection (because justin is apparently very responsible). Due to everyone else not being responsible we can safely remove these since no client code could of depended on being sent an event.
addListener(CollectionListener) |
Note: These listeners have been deprecated as part of Clean up FeatureEvents since this proposal was written.
Currently FeatureCollections.newCollection returns a SimpleFeatureCollection. Many code examples populate this feature collection using the add method.
SimpleFeatureCollection collection = FeatureCollections.newCollection(); collection.add( feature ); // <-- WILL NOT WORK! |
The most expidient fix is to create a new DefaultFeatureCollection directly (this is the implementation returned by newCollection() above).
DefaultFeatureCollection collection = new DefaultFeatureCollection(); collection.add( feature ); |
DefaultFeatureCollection is a FeatureCollection that implements java.util.Collection . This is the current migration path for those wishing to have an in memory collection.
Asking for your feature collection to be "loaded" into a FeatureCollection is the currently documented way of avoiding all this streaming nonsense and loading your data into memory.
SimpleFeatureCollection collection = DataUtilities.collection( featureCollection ); |
If we find a lot of users go on to call add we can change the DataUtilities.collection methods to explicitly return a DefaultFeatureCollectionOption.
We may also wish to consider a different implementation for DefaultFeatureCollection:
The following methods cover the care and feeding of Iterators:
void close(FeatureIterator<SimpleFeature>) Iterator<SimpleFeature> iterator() void close(Iterator<SimpleFeature>); void purge() |
We are removing the close(FeatureIterator) method as well as it already has a serviceable FeatureIterator.close() method (the method was only provided to ease transition to FeatureIterator).
The following methods are used to update and modify the contents of an in memory Collection and do not fit with the "Prepaired Statement" model of a FeatureCollection.
// modification of in memory feature collections // (recommend using featuresource instead) boolean add(SimpleFeature) boolean addAll(Collection<? extends SimpleFeature>) boolean addAll(FeatureCollection<? extends SimpleFeatureType, ? extends SimpleFeature>) boolean clear() boolean remove(Object) boolean removeAll(Collection<?>) boolean retainAll(Collection<?>) |
This is a long standing hole in the API, proposal written in response to questions from Ben: FeatureCollection Descriptor for FeatureMembers
It sounds like this is just an additional method:
AttributeDescriptor getDescriptor(); FeatureType getSchema(); |
Consider making the API consistent with a getType() method? Does not seem worth the bother.
Here is what SimpleFeatureCollection looks like after the change:
public interface SimpleFeatureCollection extends FeatureCollection<SimpleFeatureType,SimpleFeature> { // feature access - close when done! SimpleFeatureIterator features(); // feature access with out the loop void accepts(FeatureVisitor, ProgressListener); // metadata String getID(); SimpleFeatureType getSchema(); AttributeDescriptor getDescriptor(); // pending prosal // sub query SimpleFeatureCollection subCollection(Filter); SimpleFeatureCollection sort(SortBy); boolean contains(Object); boolean containsAll(Collection<?>); // summary information ReferencedEnvelope getBounds(); boolean isEmpty(); int size(); // convert to array Object[] toArray(); <O> O[] toArray(O[]); } |
Points raised during discussion:
public interface SimpleFeatureCollection extends FeatureCollection<SimpleFeatureType,SimpleFeature> { SimpleFeatureIterator features(); String getID(); SimpleFeatureType getSchema(); ReferencedEnvelope getBounds(); boolean isEmpty(); int size(); } |
During the review process many additional utility methods were added to DataUtilities in order to ensure all FeatureCollections handled things in a similar fashion.
Specific changes to functionality:
DataUtilities.visit( FeatureCollection, FeatureVisitor, ProgerssListener ) DataUtilities.bounds( FeatureCollection ) <-- already existed DataUtilities.bounds( FeatureIterator ) DataUtilities.count( FeatureCollection ) DataUtilities.count( FeatureIterator ) DataUtilities.close( Iterator ) DataUtilities.first( SimpleFeatureCollection ): SimpleFeature DataUtilities.first( FeatureCollection<?,F> ): F DataUtilities.list( FeatureCollection<?,F> ): List<F> // Already existed DataUtilities.list( FeatureCollection<?,F>, int ): List<F> DataUtilities.iterator( FeatureIterator ): Iterator // also Closable DataUtilities.collectionCast( FeatureCollection ): Collection |
Base FeatureCollection classes available for extending:
Working FetaureCollection implementations for day to day use in your own code:
Implementation specific FeatureCollection classes:
This proposal is the subject of a grass roots revolution on the geotools-devel list; indeed the revolution is on going and will not be televised.
Voting has not started yet:
The following documentation needs to be updated:
With the FeatureCollection.add method being removed, you will need to use an explicit instance that supports adding content.
SimpleFeatureCollection features = FeatureCollections.newCollection(); for( SimpleFeature feature : list ){ features.add( feature ); } |
DefaultFeatureCollection features = new DefaultFeatureCollection(); for( SimpleFeature feature : list ){ features.add( feature ); } |
ALTERNATE (will throw exception if FeatureColleciton does not implement java.util.Collection )
Collection<SimpleFeature> collection = DataUtilities.collectionCast( featureCollection ); collection.addAll( list ); |
SimpleFeatureCollection features = FeatureCollections.newCollection(); if( features instanceof Collection ){ Collection<SimpleFeature> collection = (Collection) features; collection.addAll( list ); } else { throw new IllegalStateException("FeatureCollections configured with immutbale implementation"); } |
The deprecated FeatureCollection.iterator() method is no longer available, please use FeatureCollection.features() as shown below.
Iterator i=featureCollection.iterator(); try { while( i.hasNext(); ){ SimpleFeature feature = i.next(); ... } } finally { featureCollection.close( i ); } |
FeatureIterator i=featureCollection.features(); try { while( i.hasNext(); ){ SimpleFeature feature = i.next(); ... } } finally { i.close(); } |
JAVA7 (using try-with-resource):
try ( FeatureIterator i=featureCollection.features()){ while( i.hasNext() ){ SimpleFeature feature = i.next(); ... } } |
We have made FeatureCollection implement closable (for Java 7 try-with-resource compatibility). This also provides an excellent replacement for FeatureCollection.close( Iterator ).
For other code that relied on FeatureCollection.close( Iterator ) to clean up after things, please make sure your Iterator implements Closeable.
Iterator iterator = collection.iterator(); try { ... } finally { if (collection instanceof SimpleFeatureCollection) { ((SimpleFeatureCollection) collection).close(iterator); } } |
Iterator iterator = collection.iterator(); try { ... } finally { DataUtilities.close( iterator, collection ); } |
Iterator iterator = collection.iterator(); try { ... } finally { if (iterator instanceof Closeable) { try { ((Closeable)iterator).close(); } catch( IOException e){ Logger log = Logger.getLogger( collection.getClass().getPackage().toString() ); log.log(Level.FINE, e.getMessage(), e ); } } } |
JAVA7: using try-with-resource syntax for iterators that implement Closeable
try ( FeatureIterator i=featureCollection.features()){ ... } |

planting fall tomatoes
I put some broken off tomato branches in water a month or so again, as per y'alls instructions & the jar they are in on my windowsill is full of roots now. I know it is time to plant for fall, but do I pot them into dirt first now or can I just plant them in the ground? Also, do they need to be hardened off like seedlings would? Thanks.
I always pot them up in dirt first after they form roots and then harden them off. Because it is so hot, I'd harden them off in shade or dappled shade the first couple of days and then gradually expose them to more sunlight. They do need to be hardened off because they haven't been out in direct sun lately.
If you haven't hardened off plants before, it is 1 hour the first day, 2 hours the second, etc. for about a week. Watch them carefully because they are very vulnerable to heat/sunlight at this time of year.
Thanks, Dawn. Got it started. Some of my "spring" tomatoes are so far behind I think they are going to be fall tomatoes too. I might not get too many before frost, but once years ago I wrapped in newspapers all the green tomatoes that were left before it froze, put them in a box in my pantry & they ripened a little at a time. We had our last summer tomato on Dec. 16. There is always hope. (and next year)
Patty, You're welcome. Some of my spring tomatoes are going to be fall tomatoes too, barring some sort of massive disaster like hail or deer suddenly deciding they can jump a 7' tall fence after all.
I was looking at the fall seedlings, which have struggled in the heat and are still pretty small, and wondering where I am going to put them. Of course, I'll find room for them, and it is a nice problem to have. Normally, at this point in time the spring tomatoes are just burning up from the heat and I am so ready to yank them out and start over.
Oddly, the backwards weather....with the big heat in June/early July, and the recurring cold fronts in July since then, has given me some pretty wonderful tomato plants for this late in the year. When it was over 100 every day (and with heat index numbers that were unreal)and we were having rain once or twice a week, the plants got Septoria Leaf Spot and a little Early Blight and seemed destined for an early death. However, I removed all the diseased foliage and kept watering the plants. I then fed them with a Bloom Booster fertilizer when a cold front was coming and almost all of them survived the heat and disease, produced a heavy crop of tomatoes, and continue to grow, bloom and set fruit even now.
I thought this year would be almost a total washout in terms of tomato production because the weather was just so wrong at every turn, but I was wrong. They were very late though, compared to most years. On the bright side, that means more tomatoes later in the summer than usual.
So, instead of bemoaning the fact that it "could have been" a great tomato year if only the weather had behaved, I am now arriving at the "too many tomatoes and I am sick of them" stage. NOT sick of eating them, but sick of harvesting, washing, sorting, putting some aside for fresh eating and then dehydrating or freezing the rest. Luckily, production has dropped some and I now am harvesting only every third day, so some of my tomato overload is decreasing. I've only had to dehydrate tomatoes 3 days this week (they piled up when I had the flu last week) and have only cooked tomatoes down into a puree to freeze twice. Today with be the third day of cooking, and I hope my last for a few days.
I'm looking forward to the fall crop.
Some years I store tomatoes the way you do by wrapping them in paper and putting them in the tornado cellar. (I would have had a bigger tornado shelter put in if I had realized what a great root cellar it would be!) Other years, if the plants are simply covered in fruit and the coming frost or freeze is so severe that I know I cannot save them by covering them up, I pull up the plants roots and all, and hang them upside down in the tornado shelter or garage. I do the same thing with pepper plants. I usually can continue to pick ripening tomatoes and peppers from those plants for several more weeks.
This talk of fall tomatoes has me ready for fresh plants and 'new chances' but I'm also already working on my list of varieties to grow next year, while I have this year's performance fresh in my mind. Thank goodness there's always next year to look forward to!

text: Cuomo Proposes a New Agency to Help Disabled by David Howard King, May 08, 2012 Twitter Photo provided by the Office of Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Gov. Andrew Cuomo proposed legislation on Monday that would create a new state agency to investigate and prosecute cases of abuse and neglect of disabled people, strengthening protections for New Yorkers with special needs. The new agency being proposed was created with the help of advocates and would have an inspector general and special prosecutor. Any potential criminal cases would be referred to local district attorneys, who could then pursue charges. "This is about safeguarding the civil rights of the more than one million New Yorkers with disabilities and special needs, who for too long have not had the protections and justice they deserve," the governor said at a news conference in Albany. Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos described Cuomo's proposal as a "package of thoughtful reforms." Assembly Leader Sheldon Silver congratulated Cuomo on his legislation. "The governor has outlined a plan to inject much-needed accountability into the system for the care of individuals with developmental disabilities and to eliminate abuses," he said. The lawmakers said they expected Cuomo's legislation creating the new agency, which would be known as the Justice Center for the Protection of People with Special Needs, could be passed by the end of this session. There are 20 session days remaining. In a series of articles last year, New York Times reported on abuses under the current state system for protecting the developmentally disabled. In one case highlighted in the series, a 13-year-old autistic boywas asphyxiated when he was crushed to death in the back seat of a van by a 200-pound state employee. The worker was a ninth grade dropout who had been convicted of selling marijuana and hadn't had a day off in 15 days. The driver of the van, who had been fired from four different organizations that helped the disabled until he was hired by the state, watched as the boy died without saying much, the Times reported. Cuomo's plan would centralize background checks for workers and create new laws with clearer definitions of abuse.

MONDAY, Dec. 2, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- Energy drinks may provide a bit too much of a boost to your heart, creating additional strain on the organ and causing it to contract more rapidly than usual, German researchers report.
Healthy people who drank energy drinks high in caffeine and taurine experienced significantly increased heart contraction rates an hour later, according to research scheduled for presentation Monday at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America, in Chicago.
The study raises concerns that energy drinks might be bad for the heart, particularly for people who already have heart disease, said Dr. Kim Williams, vice president of the American College of Cardiology.
"We know there are drugs that can improve the function of the heart, but in the long term they have a detrimental effect on the heart," said Williams, a cardiology professor at Wayne State University School of Medicine, in Detroit.
For example, adrenaline can make the heart race, but such overexertion can wear the heart muscle down, he said. There's also the possibility that a person could develop an irregular heartbeat.
From 2007 to 2011, the number of emergency room visits related to energy drinks nearly doubled in the United States, rising from slightly more than 10,000 to nearly 21,000, according to a meeting news release. Most of the cases involved young adults aged 18 to 25, followed by people aged 26 to 39.
In the new study, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to measure the heart function of 18 healthy participants both before and one hour after they consumed an energy drink.
The energy drink contained 400 milligrams of taurine and 32 milligrams of caffeine per 100 milliliters of liquid (about 3.4 ounces). Taurine is an amino acid that plays a number of key roles in the body, and is believed to enhance athletic performance. Caffeine is the natural stimulant that gives coffee its kick.
After downing the energy drink, the participants experienced a 6 percent increase in their heart contraction rate, said study co-author Dr. Jonas Doerner, a radiology resident in the cardiovascular imaging section at the University of Bonn, in Germany.
It appears that the unique blend of sugar, caffeine and taurine in an energy drink may combine to have an effect on the heart, Doerner said. He and his colleagues tested a second group using a drink containing only caffeine, but those patients did not show a significant increase in heart contractions.
"Maybe the mechanism could be from the taurine, or from the combination of taurine and caffeine," he said.
Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.
The American Beverage Association responded to the study with a prepared statement.
"The fact remains that most mainstream energy drinks contain only about half the caffeine of a similar size cup of coffeehouse coffee," the industry group said. "Caffeine is a safe ingredient and is consumed every day in a wide variety of foods and beverages, including energy drinks which have been enjoyed safely by millions of people for nearly three decades. Also, this paper, which looks at only 18 adults, has not been peer-reviewed or published."
Doerner was reluctant to speculate on potential damage to the heart that could result from long-term energy drink consumption, given that his study focused only on short-term effects.
"We have shown that even small amounts of energy drinks alters heart function," he said. "Because of that, further investigation needs to be done to address concerns regarding long term effects on kids and long-term effects on people with heart disease."
However, Doerner did advise that children and people who have an irregular heart beat should avoid energy drinks until more study is done.
Cardiology professor Williams agreed that further research is needed, adding that these results need to be followed up.
"Without data, one can only speculate," he said. "If you speculate on existing drugs that have that effect, it would be cause for concern."

Sushi Song Opens in Downtown Fort Lauderdale; Lunch Service Starts Today
South Florida certainly has no dearth of sushi options. All photos courtesy of Sushi Song Facebook
From high-end spots on Las Olas to tiny takeout, there seems to be a place serving up the Japanese cuisine on every block.
Downtown Fort Lauderdale is, for some reason, the lone exception to that rule. The walkable district has plenty of burger and pub grub options but few lighter, healthier alternatives.
Just last week, however, the Himmarshee Street bar district got its first late-night sushi bar, the latest outpost of Sushi Song.

Set in the former site of Brew Urban Cafe, just off the main drag of Himmarshee, facing the train tracks, the spot opened its doors for dinner on Thursday.
Lunch service begins today.

So my mother passed some time ago, she was 90 and had lived a full life, the body just got wore out. Since she passed I have been dealing with what she had as far as possessions and yesterday I found a box with all the newspapers from Presidents Kennedys death. These newspapers are all dated Nov 22nd and Nov 23rd 1963. She must have made my father cut two pieces of 1/4" plywood to sandwich the papers. They are in perfect condition. What do I do with them ?????

I would put them right back the way they were and stash em.
I don't think they are of any significant value as I believe there are many such saved newspapers about Kennedy's death. I would just continue to save them.
Look up their value. They may not be worth much though. I've seen WWII newspapers go decently cheap. Personally, I'd keep them for their historical value.
You would need the entire newspaper for any value. Do with them what you want.
i would keep em, im a history nerd though
depends on the paper itself. some are collected others arent. rarity AND desirability are the keys.

Isaya Takamori – DokiDoki – 2010 – 1 volume
this is a novel
I reviewed this BL novel over at the Manga Village, so you can check it out over there.
I liked this. A lot. A whole lot. I cracked it open without realizing it was a novel, then proceeded to read the entire thing in about one sitting. I like vampire hunting stories, and while this didn't have the best romance or the… uh, most coherent ending, the action and character development were really, really good. Plus, the very end of the book had me wishing for a sequel. I don't think one exists, but I would read other books by the same writer. Good stuff, and it was light on the BL and heavy on the action.

Clark selected to receive 2014 Outstanding Faculty Award
Amy Clark |
Amy Clark, an associate professor of English and director of the Appalachian Writing Project at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, is a recipient of the 2014 Outstanding Faculty Award by the State Council for Higher Education of Virginia.
The Outstanding Faculty Awards are the Commonwealth's highest honor for faculty at Virginia's public and private colleges and universities. These awards recognize superior accomplishments in teaching, research, and public service.
Clark was selected from a highly competitive pool of qualified candidates who were nominated by their peers at Virginia's public and private colleges and universities. At a celebration at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, Va. in February, twelve OFA recipients will each receive a cash award and a commemorative engraved award.
"Many of us leave and return to Appalachia to live because our roots grow deep, and because growing up in these mountains means no matter where we go in the world, we are anchored spiritually to that place of voice, story and song," Clark wrote in a statement to be published on SCHEV's web site. "…I work to convince teachers to take into account the deep, abiding influence of place on rural students."
Clark teaches in the department of Communication Studies at the University of Virginia's College at Wise, where she has taught since 1997. Clark's specialization is writing pedagogies, rural literacies, and Appalachian studies. She teaches courses Appalachian language and literature, rhetoric, and applied linguistics.
"Amy's development of the Appalachian Writing Project and her work with the public school teachers participating in it – whatever their disciplines – have transformed the lives and educations of both these teachers and their students," says Amelia Harris, UVa-Wise Academic Dean.
"Through her work, Amy has brought new understanding to and acceptance of the diversity of Appalachian Englishes."
Clark is the co-editor and author of Talking Appalachian: Voice, Identity and Community (University Press of Ky., 2013) to be released in paperback in the fall of 2014. The book explores Appalachian dialects from western Pennsylvania to northern Georgia, and draws from sociolinguistic articles, essays, novel excerpts, and poetry about what it means to be an Appalachian dialect speaker.
She is also the author of Success in Hill Country (Napoleon Hill Foundation, 2012), a collection of interviews with successful people who grew up in or near the central Appalachian birthplace of Napoleon Hill, the global bestselling author of books like Think and Grow Rich. The interviews detail how Napoleon Hill's philosophy influenced decisions that put these individuals on their paths to success.
Her work has appeared and is forthcoming in the New York Times, "With Good Reason" radio, Appalachian Journal, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Tampa Tribune and many other publications. In 2012, she was honored with the Jean Ritchie Fellowship in Appalachian Writing from Lincoln Memorial University.
Clark is a founding director of the Appalachian Writing Project, a non-profit organization that has supported rural teachers in their research, writing, and teaching about writing since 2000. Under her leadership, the organization has received grants and awards from the National Writing Project and Slemp Foundation. In 2013, the AWP was honored with the 2013 Helen Lewis Community Service Award, given by the Appalachian Studies Association.
She is co-founder and co-director of the new Center for Appalachian Studies at UVa-Wise, where she has been honored with the Harrison Award for Outstanding Teaching (2005) and the Harrison Award for Research and Publication (2013).

After the fall of the Soviet Union in the early 90's three of its most powerful aircraft carriers sat rotting in a Kiev dock. With disputes over ownership and no money or crew to maintain them, the ships were eventually stripped of their weapons systems and engines by the Ukraine and one was sold to a Hong Kong based company, ostensibly to become casinos off the coast of gambling-crazy Macau. As we now know the Varyag ended up in the Chinese port of Larian and spent 10 years being refitted as a fully functioning modern aircraft carrier, much to the consternation of its China Sea neighbours and of course the US. As the Varyag starts sea trials it's sister carriers have suffered a somewhat different fate. Read More
A Boeing 747 jumbo jet has been designed to offer travelers a good night's sleep without the turbulence. After being grounded at Stockholm's Arlanda Airport back in November 2002, it has been transformed into the world's first Jumbo Hostel. In doing so, the retired airliner has become a significant landmark and tourist attraction at the Swedish Airport. Read More
We were intrigued by the Amphibious 1000's proposed floating suites and private underwater lounges, however The Conrad Maldives Rangali Island Resort hosts the real deal! Situated in the tropical gardens on Rangalifinolhu Island, access to the resort is only by seaplane and while it may sound like any other exclusive get away, the Conrad Rangali will have you dining with stingrays and on special occasions, sleeping with the sharks.

As envisioned by the Italian architectural firm Giancarlo Zema Design Group (GZDG), Amphibious 1000 is a US$500 million semi-submerged resort project planned for a protected marine area on the coast of Qatar. Reflecting its name, the resort is like a large aquatic creature stretching out into the sea. Divided into two sections of land and sea, the project includes residential buildings, offices, a central marine park, floating walkways and underwater marine galleries that all form a semi-circle around the central tower, which hosts a panoramic restaurant.

The Ryugyong Hotel in the center of North Korea's capital city Pyongyang, must count as one of the strangest building projects, not to say one of the ugliest, in the world. Construction began in 1987 and continued until its abandonment in 1993 when the projected cost of required remedial rebuilding was simply too much for the impoverished city and state to bear. Now, twenty-four years after the first concrete block was laid, it's finally finished - kinda... Read More
One of the great things about the internet is the fact that everyday people can share what they know with the entire world, so if they've had a particularly good or bad experience with a business or product, they can notify everyone via customer review websites. The flip-side of that, however, is that business owners can plant fake reviews on those same sites, that either praise their own business or slam their competition. Well, confused consumers can now take heart – researchers from Cornell University have developed software that is able to identify phony reviews with close to 90 percent accuracy. Read More
There is no doubt that Berlin is at the center of the European music industry, with over 700 music companies nestled amongst a city filled with museums, theaters, clubs and concert venues. What could be better fitting for such a creative hub than a hotel inspired by music? The nhow Berlin claims to be Europe's very first music hotel, complete with recording suites, music managers and hotel staff who also happen to be music college graduates. Read More
Though the idea of sleeping inside a concrete tube probably doesn't sound that appealing, architect firm T3arc have found a way to make sleeping inside a pipe not only comfortable but also a holiday experience. Mexico's Tubohotel, which opened in 2010, is a unique and affordable holiday destination created from recycled concrete tubes. Located approximately 45 minutes south of Mexico City in the village of Tepoztlan, Morelos, the rooms of the hotel are stacked in a pyramid shape, reflecting the Aztec pyramid of El Tepozteco that overlooks the town.

If you haven't got the carpentry skills (or the tree) to erect your own designer treehouse, then a visit to this enchanting holiday destination might satisfy the needs of your inner-child. Hidden in the beautiful village of Harads, approximately 37 miles (60 km) south of the Arctic Circle, Sweden's Treehotel is an eco-based designer lodging that hosts six unique rooms nestled amongst the pines high above the ground.

The Bella Sky Comwell Hotel in Copenhagen has opened its doors. The 250 feet (76.5 m) tall, 814 room hotel is among of the largest in Scandinavia, but its not the size of the design from architecture firm 3XN that's striking - it's the shape. The building's tilting twin towers lean apart from each other at an impressive 15 degrees, an angle that provides guests with a better view of the surrounding parkland. Read More

I prefer Internet Explorer
Justin Beiber is a talented artist
So is Nickelback
Gay Marraige is wrong
Abortion is wrong
Applejack is best pony
Anything else?
Hitler did nothing wrong.
Twilight is the best book ever, the movies are aswesome too, Kristen Stewart has such an amazing reaction faces, her acting makes Morgan Freeman and Clint Eastwood look like shit.
Reaction Faces will be always funny, same goes for Advice dogs.
9gag > 4chan
OP is such a good guy
I'm going to enjoy this thread.
Wsxdas, The Last Kramabender
Bulbasaur is way cooler than Charmander.
And Lucario sucks.
Advice Animals still deserve entries.
Call Of Duty is good.
Didn't we have a thread for this already?
I'm guessing it was locked, so you're fine.
I enjoined Super Mario sunshine and Luigi's Mansion

WeKnowMemes is better at researching Internet Phenomenon than Know Your Meme.
I enjoined the Mass Effect 3 endings
Ghastly Gibus is the best hat…PERIOD
Most modern liberal beliefs are terrible ideas
Website karma is the dumbest thing ever made
The mods/admins on this website don't do a good job
Reddit is cancerous
Linux is a god-tier OS
and last, but not least…
The mods/admins on this website don't do a good job
The thread's topic is unpopular opinions.
Communism is the future.
Which ones?
Games like "The Walking Dead" and Phoenix Wright shouldn't be considered video games, but rather interactive movies.
I kid you not I actually believe this.
EDIT: @BSoD Abortion being wrong, Advice Animals needing entries, and Call of Duty being good.
Sen's Funhouse is the best level in Dark Souls.
Dark Souls itself isn't even hard,it's just tedious.
Mexx Android
Homosexual are such a plague on this earth.
I prefer consoles over PC.
Why? Because their simple. Yeah, I know a decent PC won't put you into extreme debt, but when I see some asshat bragging about his $2,000 setup and arguing how the "console crowd is nothing but inferior scum", I can't help but go back to playing local multiplayer on my console while everyone else has to shove their computer in their car and drive over to their friend's house to play over a LAN connection.
TL;DR: Both consoles and PC have their advantages, so shut your mouth, PC elitists.
Voltage is nowhere to be found

Well, I was serious about what I said.
EA Games is the nicest american company
Valve sucks, they never care about what their customers or comunity think
COD is the best game of the century, shit games like…PFFF Portal 2? Halo? Uncharted? Overrated shit
I think women should wear hi-jabs.
Gays should receive the death penalty
Women should not be allowed to go to school
Everyone should convert to Islam.
And that Dungeons and Dragons is boring.
Bronies are perverted zoophile manchildren.
Furries are yiffing creeps.
Dr who isn't even good
Homestuck sucks
9gag is awesome
MLP is a forced meme
I ain't even waiting for HL3.

>Britain should have sided with Nazi Germany
>women should be de-sexualised
>Nationalist socialism should be the future of Britain
>I cant stand every new or existing entry being done over by mlp
>all foreigners should be deported along with the Jews
I'm Excited for Star Wars VII
Skyward Sword is an emerald Jesus-tier game.
I really can't tell which of these opinions are jokes, and which ones aren't. For example, in the third post above this, "I cant stand every new or existing entry being done over by mlp" is a perfectly reasonable opinion to hold. When you say something like that alongside "Hitler was right and all foreigners should be deported", it's a bit worrying to say the least.
As for my own:
- The Lord of the Rings movies dragged on a bit (and I'm not even talking about the extended cuts)
- Star Wars is kinda overrated
- I don't see the appeal in The Beatles
- I can't stand Facebook
- Nightclubs are awful
- Eating meat is, at least in some of the most developed countries, morally questionable to some degree
(If that last one doesn't attract some negs, nothing will)
Oh, and coffee is best strong, black and without sugar.
I don't like Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy. Those movie were too real life based.

That's hardly an unpopular opinion. Everybody loved Skyward Sword.
Anyways, I liked the prequels.

Indie games are too artsy most of the time.
Just because it's pixelated does not mean it's retro.
The Iraq war was necessary to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice.
Harry Potter is shit. Let me just say from the bottom of my heart that I hate Harry Potter, and the entire seven books. I hate Harry, I hate Ron, I hate Hermione, I hate Dumbledore, I hate Haggrid, I hate every single one of those quasi-English faggots. I hate the the context, I hate the diction, I hate the archetypes, I hate the setting, I hate the fandom, and I hate Rowling. I am so sick and tired of Harry Potter I can't even take it.

There are no good fandoms.
Ponification is never, ever necessary.
You're not funny because you posted one of the same 30 "OP is a faggot" pics everyone posts for a brand new article.
Nintendo's last great console was the SNES.
There are no Sonic the Hedgehog games worth playing that aren't on the Genesis.
Pokemon is just as bad as Call of Duty.
Gravity Falls isn't anything special.
Neither is Adventure Time.
Or Regular Show.
No 4chan boards are worth visiting except for /mu/ and /wg/.
No subreddits are worth visiting except for /r/cringe and /r/earthporn.
Both liberals and conservatives can be idiots.
People use the word "hater" as a substitute for anything smart to say.
I could go on all day.
Skyrim > Oblivion
Skyrim < Oblivion
+1 Confirm.
I think OP didn't do a great job of explaining what's supposed to be going on here (i.e., he didn't.)
His post, however, said "I think that Regular Show is better than Adventure Time."
So I'd say that the thread is: Post unpopular opinions that you actually hold. So if you don't actually hold the opinion, then there's no need to post it. That should help with the confusion.
As for me, I think Facebook is awesome. (It's an unpopular opinion in Web Culture.)
I think Popeye could beat both Superman and Goku.

OK so I have this thing about bad picture karma. In my mind I can't throw away any pictures of family or very close loved ones, especially if they are living. Or ANY picture of my kids. OK honestly it's any picture of anyone I know rather well. Why? In my mind it's like bad karma. If I throw the picture away, I fell like something bad will happen. What if no one else has a picture of this person, what if I forget what the look like.
It's bad. I literally have BOXES, HUGE boxes of pictures I've been collecting/saving for nearly 20 years.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The Atlanta Jewish Times is a weekly community newspaper serving the Jewish community of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Its owner and publisher is Clifford M. Weiss.[1]
The newspaper began publishing as the Southern Israelite in 1925.[2] In the 1980s, it was purchased by Charles "Chuck" Buerger, the owner of the Baltimore Jewish Times. Buerger died in 1996, and the paper was taken over by his son, Andrew.
In 2000, Andrew Buerger sold the paper, along with The Detroit Jewish News, to Jewish Renaissance Media (JRM),[3] which also operated the website Jewish.com.
In 2005, it claimed a readership of 25,000.[4] As of 2007, Arthur M. Horwitz of Jewish Renaissance Media was the publisher and Michael Jacobs the Managing Editor. When Jacobs left the paper in 2008, Ann Marie Quill was then promoted to managing editor.
On April 14, 2009, Andrew B. Adler (Metro Jewish News) acquired The Atlanta Jewish Times, with a staff of five and a subscribership of only 3,500. After his takeover the website jtonline.us ceased to be updated.
In late October 2009, The Atlanta Jewish Times moved to a new office, though still in the Dunwoody area. As of the end of that month, the paper's staff had expanded to 10, with new employees taken on for sports coverage and advertising coordination.
In January 2012 Adler wrote a column stating that one option for Israel to defend itself against Iran would be to have U.S.-based Mossad agents "take out" an "unfriendly" president. Mainstream Jewish organizations denounced the column, which was read as referring to an assassination of Barack Obama. Adler subsequently apologized and resigned as editor, and announced he was looking for a buyer for the publication.[5][6][7]

The Interpretations Committee discussed the interaction between the use of Level 1 inputs and the portfolio exception set out in IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement, in response to a request that it had received to clarify this interaction. The Interpretations Committee noted that there was insufficient guidance in the Standard for it to be able to answer this question and so it decided that this issue needs to be considered by the IASB. Accordingly it asked the staff to present the Interpretations Committee's concerns to the IASB.
