Understanding and Utilizing Threads in Android
Threads have been an essential part of computer science and a versatile tool for programmers for decades. Most modern operating systems support threads, and Android is no exception. Android's support for threads enables programmers to split their programs into multiple units that execute commands and instructions in parallel.
A thread is the smallest unit of processing that can be scheduled by an operating system. Your app's main process (or program) can be broken into threads, which can then be scheduled simultaneously by the operating system. This method helps the programmer take care of longer processes in a separate thread, so that the main thread (in which the UI is running) remains quick and responsive to the user.
Main Thread and Background Threads
Whenever we create an activity, it runs by default in the main thread of your application. All the commands issued by the Android operation system (like onClick, onCreate, etc.) are sent to and processed by this main thread.
But, if you include all of your processing logic in the main thread, your application might not be too busy to respond to the messages sent by the Android operating system. This might even make your application completely unresponsive, which would prompt Android to display the warning of "application not responding" and shut down your app by force.
To prevent this problem, it's good practice to perform all the tasks that might take a long time in a separate background thread rather than in the main thread. This would leave the main thread free to remain responsive to the user input sent by the Android operating system.
One notable downside to this method is that the UI cannot be updated from the background thread, it has to be updated from the main thread. But, with a little planning ahead, this issue can be easily remedied.
Creating a Program to Show a Progress Bar Using Threads
As a demonstration of the versatility of threads, we are going to create a simple program that displays a background thread and passes information to a handler, which will update the progress bar.
Adding the Progress Bar
Android has a progress bar widget that can be used in the UI to show the progress in the UI.
We are going to add the progress bar by adding the <ProgressBar> tag in the standard layout.xml file.
The following is the layout.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" /> <ProgressBar android:id="@+id/progress" style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleHorizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </LinearLayout>
In the example above, we have added a "ProgressBar" with the ID as "progress" and the style as horizontal to display a horizontal progress bar.
Below is the onCreate method of the activity:
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); PrgBar=(ProgressBar)findViewById(R.id.progress); }
In the above example, we create the instance of the progress bar and store it in a variable "PrgBar".
If we run the program now, we should be able to see the following:
Adding a Handler
As mentioned before, we cannot update the UI from the background thread, so we will have to create a handler that will run in the main thread but receive messages from a background thread.
To create a handler, we need to create an instance of the "Handler" class and override the handleMessage function as follows:
Handler handler=new Handler() { @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { PrgBar.incrementProgressBy(5); } };
As you can see, we've chosen to increment the value of our progress bar by 5.
Creating the Thread
Next, we declare "AtomicBoolean" to start and end the thread in the activity.
AtomicBoolean ContinueThread = new AtomicBoolean(false);
Then, we create the thread using the onStart method. The method will look like this:
void onStart() { super.onStart(); PrgBar.setProgress(0); Thread background=new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { try { while(ContinueThread.get()) { Thread.sleep(1000); handler.sendMessage(handler.obtainMessage()); } } catch (Throwable t) { } } }); ContinueThread.set(true); background.start(); }
Using this method, we set the Progress bar value to 0. Then, we create a new thread by passing it an instance of class, which implements the run() method. Within the run method, we have a "while" loop which will continue until the AtomicBoolean ContinueThread is true.
Inside the while loop, we've made a thread to sleep for 1 second and then send a message to the handler which will increment the value of ProgressBar .
At the end of onStart, we set the value of ContinueThread to true, and then we start the background thread.
Stopping the Thread When the Activity Stops
To stop the thread, we will just need to set the ContinueThread to "false" within the onStop method of the activity.
public void onStop() { super.onStop(); ContinueThread.set(false); }
If we run the program, you will see the progress bar updating as shown in the image below.
Creating a Program for a Digital Watch
Now, to further develop our use of threads, we are going to create a small digital watch program.
Creating the Activity and the TextView
To create a digital watch, first we will need to create an activity. In the activities main layout, declare a TextView. We are going to increase the font size of the TextView so that the digits in the watch are clear.
Below is the main layout.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" > <TextView android:id="@+id/txtWatch" android:textSize="50dp" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="@string/hello" /> </LinearLayout>
Creating a Function to Display the Current Time
Now, we are going to write a function to display the current time on the TextView. The function is as follows:
public void displayCurrentTime() { Date dt = new Date(); int hours = dt.getHours(); int minutes = dt.getMinutes(); int seconds = dt.getSeconds(); String curTime = hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds; Watch.setText(curTime); }
In the example above, we create a new "Date" object that initializes with the current time.
Then, we read the hours, minutes, and seconds from that object, and we pass it on the Textiew.
We'll use the function below to call in the onCreate function and display the current time:
@Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); Watch=(TextView)findViewById(R.id.txtWatch); displayCurrentTime(); }
And in the handleMessage function of our previously-created handler, we'll add the following:
Handler handler=new Handler() { @Override public void handleMessage(Message msg) { displayCurrentTime(); } };
Creating the Thread
Now, within the onStart function, we'll create a Thread that sends a message to the main thread every second. The main thread will then update the TextView so that it displays the current time.
The onStart function is as follows:
public void onStart() { super.onStart(); Thread background=new Thread(new Runnable() { public void run() { try { while(ContinueThread.get()) { Thread.sleep(1000); handler.sendMessage(handler.obtainMessage()); } } catch (Throwable t) { } } }); ContinueThread.set(true); background.start(); }
Async Tasks
Android provides a convenient way to perform complex and time consuming tasks in the background by hiding the process of creating the background thread from the developer. This is done by the AsyncTask class.
To create an AsyncTask, you'll simply create a child class inheriting from AsyncTask and then just override some of its default methods. The AsyncTask class will take care of creating the background thread, and it will also release and destroy the thread once it's no longer needed. We will just have to call the execute method on the subclass of AsyncTask .
Creating an Async Task to Read a File in the Background
Now, we are going to create a simple program to read a file in a background thread using AsyncTask.
The code is as follows:
package asyncTaskDemo.com; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStream; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.AsyncTask; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.TextView; public class AsyncTaskDemo extends Activity { private TextView txtContent; /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main); txtContent = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.txtContent); ReadFileTask task = new ReadFileTask(); task.execute(); } public InputStream openResourceFile(int id) { return getResources().openRawResource(id); } private class ReadFileTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String> { @Override protected String doInBackground(Void... UnUsed) { String response = ""; String str=""; StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer(); InputStream is = openResourceFile(R.drawable.textfile); BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is)); if (is!=null) { try { while ((str = reader.readLine()) != null) { buf.append(str + "n" ); } is.close(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } } response = buf.toString(); return response; } @Override protected void onPostExecute(String result) { txtContent.setText(result); } } }
Here we have a TextView within the UI on which we are going to display the contents of a file. This file will be read in the background using a separate thread. In the onCreate method, we simply get the TextView and store it in a member variable of the class. Finally, we create an instance of the AsyncTask class and execute it.
Async Task Arguments
While declaring the subclass to AsyncTask, we can also declare the types of arguments that we will pass to the different methods within our sub class. These arguments will override the defaults.
In our ReadFileTask class, we have used void, void, and string, so void will be the argument passed to the doInBackground function, void will be the argument passed to the onProgressUpdate function, and string will be the argument passed to the onPostExecute function.
private class ReadFileTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>
The Methods of AsyncTask
Now, we will override the doInBackground method of AsyncTask — the code that will run in background thread. Here, we are just opening a file in the drawable folder, reading it line by line, and storing it within a string buffer.
Then, we override the onPostExecute method, which will be called when the background thread has finished performing the task of displaying the file on the device's screen.
If we run the program now, the output will be as follows:
Developers always have to perform complex and time-consuming tasks within our Android apps. If these tasks aren't segmented in separate threads, they might cause our application to hang, freeze, crash, or simply be a slow and inefficient. The benefits of using separate threads outweigh the downsides, so you should use them often to make snappy, responsive, crashproof Android apps.

Presidential Politics Does Not Define Conservatism
The conservative movement is a complex coalition of people and ideas that seek to impact popular culture, public policy and electoral politics based on its ideals and principles. To take something this complex and diverse and equate it with an election at the highest possible level is to both over-simplify and devalue it.

Discover what your life could be like as a WPA partner through Uel Campbell.
08.00 Quite often I start my day with a business networking meeting. It gives me the opportunity to meet with other business contacts and introduce WPA to other members and visitors. It can be either our range of Flexible health for individuals, families and the self employed or our corporate policies for the employers in the meeting.
10.00 With the price of fuel I try to work smarter with my travel and if I can arrange a client meeting after the networking meeting, possibly at the same venue, I do so as it saves time and travel.
11.00 As part of my business I have a number of introducers who I work with to promote WPA and also add value to their business. They range from accountants, general insurance brokers, IFA's to business coaches and motivational speakers who are dealing with business and personal customers on a day to day basis. I like to keep in touch on a structured, rolling programme and contact them to keep them up to date on what's going on in WPA. Sometimes it's a chat on the phone but more often than not I would arrange to meet with them.
12.30 Although I have all the mobile technology I need at my fingertips to allow me to quickly respond to customer needs, I like to get back to my office at home to deal with e-mails, letters and any issues that have arisen from phone calls.
1.00 Lunch can be a bit flexible time wise but for me it's important to have something to eat otherwise I get grumpy in the afternoon and, joking aside, productivity drops as well.
1.30 Now I check my diary to see if there are any gaps I need to fill over the next couple of weeks. It's important to plan ahead, but also to be flexible enough to adapt to any changes that may need to be made at short notice.
3.00 Another customer meeting, this time it's a corporate scheme & I am presenting to two directors. As is often the case in my area, it's a family run business so our flexible products work well as the directors and families can have a higher level of cover than the employees, but everyone receives the same excellent customer service. One director is impressed that we are offering free dental cover for the first year as a customer incentive and that just might be enough to encourage them to move forward.
5.00 WPA provide us with a fantastic level of support but in a fast moving environment I need to ensure I have all the tools I need to do my job so it's time to check the e-mails again and confirm tomorrows appointments. I also check I have all the brochures and quotes I need and, if required, order some more literature. I now use more online tools like linkedin and twitter, a great new method for attracting customers into my business, directly or indirectly, so it's usually now I will turn my attention to post any updates or reply to any posts.

Though this is a lovely scene overall, when I look critically at it, it seems to me that the sky is overly red/yellow (although I would love to go there and see it for myself!)
Its also benefits with cropping some space from the bottom to place the horizon on a third.
Ive laded a mod with some colour correction to reduce red/yellow, and cropped space from the bottom.
Hope this is helpful,

With springtime rapidly approaching, it can only mean one thing—turkey time is upon us.
In many ways there's no time like the present to get a gobbler in your sights. As bird numbers continue to rise, the National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) reports there are an estimated 6.4 million wild turkeys spread out across the U.S. and Canada. Missouri, which is the top wild turkey producing state, had 58,421 birds taken last year alone. Alabama, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin were not far behind, with 142,000 wild turkeys harvested between them.
On the other hand, there's never been a time quite like the present to worry about the future of wild turkeys, in particular, and hunting in general. Regarding habitat, the NWTF is seriously concerned about the amount of acreage lost each day to urban sprawl and development. While it has invested nearly $415 million to reclaim 17.3 million acres of habitat, there's still plenty to worry about as suburban communities and highways expand at an incredible pace.
The other major factor is the current political climate, which has been fueled by recent anti-gun legislation. Tom Hughes, assistant vice president of conservation programs at NWTF, said it's an unwelcome situation every hunter has got to face.
"As hunter's rights advocates, we wouldn't be true to the people we represent if we didn't stand up for the Second Amendment," Hughes said. "This is about a whole lot more than guns. It's about a way of life that hunters embrace."
Rapid Habitat Loss
In addition to the rapid urban sprawl that contributes to the loss of 6,000 acres of wild turkey habitat each day, there are other factors that will likely have a negative impact on bird numbers in 2013. First, rising corn prices have motivated farmers to clear Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land—prime wild turkey habitat—to increase their level of production. This is becoming more and more common, according to Hughes, because the increase in profit for farmers exceeds the penalty for removing the regulated CRP land. As corn prices continue to skyrocket, more and more CRP land will disappear.
Another big issue is the maturity level of many of the forests across the U.S. As the amount of logging has decreased due to an active environmental consciousness, many forests have become overly aged, which in turn takes away ideal brooding conditions for wild turkeys. The NWTF works with the U.S. Forest Service to promote wise forest management, but the impact of those efforts don't come to fruition until years later.
Two other major factors continue to affect wild turkey populations—the drought and the feral hog explosion in the South. Especially in areas like the Midwest and Texas, the lack of rainfall has been extremely harmful to the production of wild grasses that turkeys feed on. It's a simple equation—no rain means no food, and no food means no turkeys.
In a lot of the same areas where drought-caused food shortages are a sad reality, there is an ongoing invasion of feral hogs. It is estimated that feral hogs do about $1.5 billion in damage in the U.S. annually, destroying the same habitat wild turkeys call home. In Texas alone there are 2.5 million feral hogs that destroy precious habitat, compete for scarce food resources and threaten nesting turkeys.
Political Climate Change
The most dangerous threats to turkey hunting in 2013, however, don't have anything to do with habitat or predators. According to Hughes, the biggest concern for 2013 is the anti-gun, anti-hunting sentiment that has metastasized into new legislation that threatens our way of life.
"The zealous gun control advocates are the kind of folks who don't distinguish between a semi-auto AR and a semi-auto shotgun. It's all the same thing to them. It's the same for turkey, doves, you name it," Hughes said. "A lot of turkey hunters may not be aware, but this threatens our hunting heritage, not just our Second Amendment rights."
The NWTF was at the center of the gun debate recently after it pulled out of the Eastern Sports and Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pa., because Reed Exhibitions, the event organizer, banned AR's and high-capacity magazines from the show. As Hughes said, hunters have to band together to protect their way of life.
"We all need to be concerned about legislation like this," Hughes said. "We want there to be a hunting heritage to protect and enjoy tomorrow, but there won't be if we don't do something about it."

A site about games, imagination, and combining the two mercilessly.
December 25, 2010:
Yeah, I haven't updated in a while. My bad. Writing the articles ain't so bad, it's all the stuff that goes with it. But hey, uploading old comics still proves easy and efficient. Check it out, I've uploaded the Alternate Universe Christmas Special. It's in Folder 5, so you know it's more current than not.
July 07, 2010:
Mario Bros. is here to make us think, "how can an endless game be told in story"? I think you'll find that there's a connection between the tasks that we as people have to do, and an endless game. Also, I had checked some of the old art myself, and corrected some bad links (because apparently .png and .PNG are not the same thing for some reason).
July 1, 2010:
Today's article: More exciting than Excitebike, it's Hang-On, the 1985 racer by Sega. You can find it under Arcade and Sega Master System, but they both link to the same thing.
June 28, 2010:
Finished the sitemap. The sitemap gets updated every time a new page is created, say for instance an new article is added. That being said, I won't announce any changes to the sitemap when they occur, considering it only really exists for optimization purposes and no one really uses them (unless the site is a thousand levels deep without a search function or some such).
June 27, 2010:
So here it is. A new era of Creative Worlds. Alright, maybe era isn't the correct term to use. So, now Creative Worlds looks a bit more like the better sibling site Aqua Bunny, and everything's a lot more optimized and streamlined, now. Essentially, this site is divided into two parts, "Then" and "Now". Everything I used to do, get, or make is all under the Archive tab, while anything that is either informative or is currently being worked on/with is under the Works tab. But the newest and most prominent addition is the gaming tab. This is pretty much the central focus of the site, now.
The gaming section is pretty much an article based section where I write about all the games I can recall having played in my lifetime, but I approach them either editorially or with non serious fractured storylines (so like some of my comics but more text and fewer pictures), or something along those lines. This will be updated the most frequently, and will definately make this site update a lot more frequent too, however, that depends a lot on inspiration for an article, and a LOT of self editing and revising, which sometimes ends in scrapping some concepts. So basically, this site receives updates when I put together something that doesn't suck. As of right now, there are two starter articles but I hope to add more pretty soon (except I'm kind of in the process of lots of self revision right now).
Otherwise, the site may be updated when I do something substancial within the Works tab, but that'll be much less frequent.
All the old stuff, though, at least the things I've worked on and wrote, such as the series info and artwork, has new and rewritten commentary, possibly with 95% more snark. So you may even want to give the old stuff another look through.
Well, I hope to have some fun with the gaming section, and would like to see the works through, and that marks this update for you.

Dominance leads to league title for co-op gymnasts
Balcerak leads team to sweep of all-around
Over the past three seasons of WIAA state championships and all the fun that goes with them, the clear driver for the Franklin, Muskego, Oak Creek and Whitnall gymnastics co-op team has been its depth.
Seemingly countless talented individuals able to fill in at a moment's notice posting amazing scores, leaving their opponents' jaws dropping in their wake.
But the numbers dwindled after last year's eight-person senior class took their leave, and so FMOW had to go a different route this year.
Now the numbers don't count quite as much as the talent does, and the talent, if anything, is even more alarming.
Another conference win
A week after the local co-op burst back onto the scene in this reloading year with a state best 149-point score in the Mukwonago Invitational, it did not skip a beat, winning its third straight Southeast/Classic 8 Conference meet on Feb. 20 with a 147.6 score.
And they did it with a decidedly dominant edge in the all-around competition, as Sam Balcerak (37.625), Jerica Kotarak (36.95) and Erin Scholz (36.775) swept the top three positions, respectively, while Jessica Kossoris was a strong sixth (36.25).
"The all-around, that's a real change from the past for us," said coach Katie Moore. "Last year (the last of the three state titles), we had only one all-around (Balcerak). Now, this year, we're relying on four all-arounds and they've really proven themselves in competition."
FMOW will now begin its run toward a potential fourth straight state crown when it participates in the WIAA sectional meet at Burlington at 4:30 p.m. today. The competition will be much the same with the Burlington, Kenosha, Mukwonago and Waukesha co-ops all taking part.
The top two teams plus the first five finishers in all events, including the all-around, will advance to the WIAA State Meet in Wisconsin Rapids on March 7 and 8.
A title on floor, too
FMOW got a good feel for what will be required with the conference title. The winning score of 147.6 was a good three-plus points ahead of runner-up Arrowhead (144.425) and the Mukwonago co-op (144.275).
The all-arounds made themselves noticed right away. Along with her all-around title, Balcerak also claimed the floor exercise with a 9.5. She was also fourth on balance beam (9.175), and third on uneven bars (9.3) and vault (9.65).
Kotarak also had a good day, earning eighth on beam (9.0), fifth on floor (9.25), fourth on bars (9.25) and sixth on vault (9.45).
Scholz was ninth on beam (8.925), fourth on floor (9.3), sixth on bars (9.05) and fourth on vault (9.5).
Kossoris was fifth on beam (9.15), 10th on floor (8.95) and bars (8.75) and eighth on vault (9.4).
FMOW dominated the team vault competition with a 38.0 combined mark while turning in a 37.0 on floor.
"We know how good the competition is," Moore said. "It was going to be tough. It had been easier the last few years, but given our circumstances, what we graduated, we knew it would be a real challenge."

Colombo, Sri Lanka -- "Ordering by the beat of the drum that no animals should be killed within a radius of seven gau from the city, he gave security to animals. He also gave security to the fish in the twelve great tanks, and bestowing on (the region's people) gold and cloth and whatever other kind of wealth they wished, he commanded them not to catch birds and so gave security to birds…."
This inscription, which is engraved in an upright stone slab at Ruwanweliseya, Anuradhapura, is a transcript of a decree issued in the late12th Century by King Kirthi Nissanka Malla of Polonnaruwa. It is reflective of the high moral concern that the rulers and people of Sri Lanka showed towards animal life in ancient times.
Likewise scattered through the pages of the Mahavamsa, are other records of royal protection granted for the preservation and well being of all forms of animals. It can well be said that the policy of compassion and tolerance initiated by Emperor Asoka in India in 270 BC in the form of state protection to animals, was followed in earnest by a long line of Sri Lankan Kings. Buddhism played a major role in influencing the development of this benevolent public attitude towards animals.
Whatever interpretation may be put on the First Precept of Buddhism i.e. whether it prohibits the consumption of flesh foods, it is without dispute that Buddhism has never countenanced the 'kill and eat' principle, which is found in monotheistic religions. Neither does Buddhism adopt a purely utilitarian attitude towards animals by insisting that animals exist solely for the benefit of man.
As regards Sri Lanka, it has been said that the dietary habits of our people prior to the arrival of the Europeans were essentially vegetarian. Robert Knox in his 'Historical Relation of Ceylon' admits that his beef eating habit was despised by the Sinhalese people of 17th Century Sri Lanka.
Though the meat eating habit gradually began to spread among the people upon the colonization of this country by three Western powers, yet the majority i.e. the Buddhists, never assumed directly the actual responsibility of rearing and killing animals for food. Such restraint on their part was clearly due to the influence of deep seated moral considerations.
However these moral restraints which have been enshrined in the collective mind of the Buddhists for over a period of 2300 years would be rapidly lost if the state succeeds in promoting animal husbandry (leading to slaughter of animals) and inland fisheries schemes.
The biggest danger to the underlying Buddhist Civilization of this country from the establishment of inland fisheries schemes, is the great likelihood of the creation of a new sub-group of Sinhala Buddhists in the hinterland of Sri Lanka, who may be forced to disown or react against Buddhism sometime in the future, because their breach of the Buddhist First Precept for the purpose of earning a living would never receive scriptural sanction or the moral approval of the Buddhist public and the Buddhist Sangha.
In other words these policies of the Government would be laying the foundation for the emergence of sub-groups within the ranks of Sinhala Buddhists, who would be most susceptible to the influence of religions which sanction the slaughter of animals for food. The wholesale conversion of the entire Buddhist population in the Maldives in the 12th Century, to Islam, is a good example of a case where choice of livelihood e.g. fishing, led, among other things, to the loss of faith in Buddhism.
Buddhism lost ground in countries such as Maldives, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Bangladesh partly due to the gullibility of then Buddhist rulers of those countries, who failed to exercise the necessary vigilance to protect Buddhism.
It was such fears which prompted leading Buddhist monks to protest strongly in 1990 at the gradual introduction of inland fisheries into areas which have been the traditional bases of Buddhism in this country. After a careful consideration of the relevant issues, President Premadasa accepted the position of the Buddhist monks on inland fisheries and thereafter ordered the Govt. Departments to discontinue all links with inland fisheries schemes.
To the credit of President Premadasa it must be said, that he abandoned the development of inland fisheries in the larger interest of protecting the foundation of Buddhist Culture which still exists more or less intact in the rural areas of Sri Lanka.
King Kirthi Nissanka Malla and other Sinhalese Kings granted 'Abhayadana' (sparing of life from slaughter) to the fish in the twelve great tanks which are found in the Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa and Dambulla districts. These Kings with the most noble of intentions, would have expected succeeding generations of Buddhists, to honour rather than repudiate these inspiring injunctions, which are a part of this country's rich spiritual heritage. Yet, these are the very lakes which are being earmarked for the introduction of inland fisheries.
Sometimes people tend to defend fishing on the ground that it is a harmless activity causing neither pain nor suffering to the victim. This is a wrong presumption. Fish have been discovered to show most of the pain behaviour that mammals do. In some species there is even vocalization.
They make vibratory sounds indicating 'alarm' and 'aggravation' and show signs of distress when they are taken out of water, hauled up into air and allowed to flap around until they die. Because their gills can extract oxygen only from water and not from air, fish out of water cannot breathe. They usually die slowly in pain from suffocation.
The argument that fish provide protein and therefore it is important for people including the Buddhists of this country, to actively participate in inland fisheries schemes, is a proposition which can be logically extended to cover the slaughter of many other animals. In fact it may well happen.
The Buddhists who are being encouraged by Government incentives to engage in fishing in inland reservoirs, may in the course of time take to slaughtering other animals for food and the making of profit. Right Livelihood as propounded by the Buddha, being one of the noble Eightfold Path, eschews conduct such as trading in live or dead animals for profit.
There are a number of new foods coming into the market which are not slaughter products. The protein rich Soya Bean and derivatives such as Tofu, now constitutes the basic diet of several Asian countries including China and Japan. It is also becoming popular in Western countries.
Why is there no public drive towards promoting a large scale Soya Bean cultivation, production and consumption in this country? It is more economical to produce protein rich vegetables rather than flesh food.
Dr. E.F. Schumacher in his celebrated book 'Small is Beautiful' spoke of 'Buddhist Economics'. He stressed the need for developing countries to fashion economic policies in such a way that they did not conflict with the religious and spiritual traditions of the people.
In this context the question arises whether the advice of the Buddhist Sangha was sought by the Government of Sri Lanka before it embarked on re-developing inland fisheries, a policy which was abandoned by a previous government largely as a result of the convincing submissions made by the Maha Sangha.
It is true that flesh food consumption is now quite widespread even among Buddhists in Sri Lanka. As realists we must accept this, but we need not extend it, particularly in a way which requires Buddhists to slaughter animals. Sinhala Buddhists, generally as a group (subject to a few exceptions), have always maintained, throughout our history, a marked distance from slaughtering animals for food.
These restraints, influenced by the principles of Ahimsa (non-violence to all living beings) contributed substantially to the making of the Sinhala Buddhist identity and its authenticity, which in turn drew the admiration and sometimes the envy of others.
If killing animals for food is promoted as an occupation among Buddhists, whether in the form of inland fisheries, prawn farming or household chicken farming, much damage will be done in the long term, to one of the finer traits of the Sinhala Buddhist image.

New Iowa Financial Investigation Team announces money laundering investigation | Local News - KCCI Home
Didn't they say they had $600 million to use this year? Plenty to go around!
Thanks alot obama.
www.dps.state.ia.us For immediate release: Saturday, April 20, 2013 Des Moines, Iowa Two Arrested After Lengthy Probe by New Iowa Financial Investigation Team Nevada, IOWA --- Beginning at 9:00 AM this morning, law enforcement from multiple state, local and federal agencies executed Operation Landlord with search warrants at four different locations in Story, Polk and Woodbury Counties. Additionally, two individuals were arrested for allegedly stealing more than $407,430 from the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT). Today, 56 year old David Weigel of Nevada, Iowa was charged with Theft in the First Degree, Conspiracy to Commit Theft, On-going Criminal Conduct, Money Laundering and Felonious Misconduct in Office. Fifty-nine year old Grady Marx of Sioux City, Iowa was also arrested and charged with Theft in the First Degree, Conspiracy to Commit a Felony, On-going Criminal Conduct, and Money Laundering. Weigel is currently being held at the Polk County jail on $55,000 bond. Marx was booked through the Woodbury County Jail and posted his $50,000 bond shortly thereafter. David Weigel, 56 years Grady Marx, 59 years The arrests of Weigel and Marx are the result of a two-year long investigation that included a detailed review of hundreds of financial records. On July 7, 2011, DOT Director Paul Trombino requested the assistance of the Iowa Department of Public Safety to investigate suspicious activity involving land sales, land leases and mowing contracts for Iowa DOT land. Through the course of the investigation a team of officers and prosecutors trained to investigate financial crimes was assembled from multiple agencies. The newly formed Iowa Financial Investigation Team (IFIT) discovered through document review and witness interviews that beginning in 1997, David Wiegel used his employment within DOT to personally, financially benefit from his position. Weigel is accused of selling DOT land to various individuals and companies while keeping a portion of the funds. Additionally, he is accused of charging various individuals for maintaining DOT lands, and personally retaining those monies. David Weigel received at least $239,832 of money that was intended for the DOT. Also through the investigation, IFIT revealed that Grady Marx conspired with David Weigel to deprive the DOT of at least $237,360. Marx is accused of receiving payment for the sale of land belonging to the DOT, as well funneling money to Weigel after receiving payment from DOT for the mowing of DOT lands, a business arrangement facilitated by Weigel. Weigel Complaint & Affidavit Marx Complaint & Affidavit During todays enforcement effort, search warrants were executed at four different locations. Items seized as a result of the search warrants include multiple bank accounts, as well as several cars, trucks and motorcycles. Investigative information suggests these items were purchased with money stolen from the DOT by Weigel or Marx. IFIT is requesting the publics assistance in this case. Individuals who have made check or cash payments to David Weigel, or to individuals or companies other than the DOT, for the purchase or rent of DOT land, may have information that can assist law enforcement in this case. Please call the IFIT office at 515-725-6290. This large scale investigation and resulting search warrants and arrests were executed by a team of investigators from multiple agencies. As crimes like elder fraud, money laundering, and theft continue through the use of online banking, the internet, and traditional means of concealment, IFIT will strive to investigate the misuse of both public and private monies. Participating agencies include: Iowa Attorney Generals Office, United States Attorneys Office-Southern District of Iowa, State of Iowa Auditors Office, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Inspections and Appeals, Iowa Department of Revenue, Iowa Insurance Fraud Bureau, Iowa Division of Banking, US Postal Inspection Service and the Iowa Department of Public Safety Also assisting in todays enforcement efforts are the Nevada Police Department, Story County Sheriffs Office, Woodbury County Sheriffs Office, Sioux City Police Department, Ankeny Police Department, and the Iowa Department of Transportation. It should be noted a criminal charges is merely an accusation and all suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Not that shocking..being at the DOT for only a few hours sucks the life out of you. I can imagine if you worked there every day, it wouldn't take long for you to consider prison a lateral move. If I had to decide between a year in prison or a year hanging out at the DOT, I would choose prison without hesitation.
well these guys look well suited for a federal penn... good luck to them!
Just think about it: These guys would have gotten away with it in the end if Michael Bolton's computer program for skimming the money from the IDOT account would have had the decimal point in the correct place. Now they're headed for Federal Pound Me In the *** Prison. Hopefully, they'll pick a fight their first day in, because the alternative is unpleasant to say the least.
"Correct me if I'm wrong, Scotty.......but if I kill all the golfers, they'll lock me up and throw away the key!" Carl Spackler
steal that kind of money from the public and they should pay, set an example. Corruption and stealing from taxpayers should be unacceptable.
Ive know Weigel for a few years now; not that well however. Was kind of surprised to read about this.
The first guy is from my hometown. Wouldn't be surprised if he used that money to buy his property on the east side of town. I'm sure it was a lot.
Maker them shovel **** at the roadstops island outhouses while on parole.
Let my Fred's Posse Ride: Georges, 3sus, Hallice, Deonte, Dustin, Abdel, Monte, Matt, and McKaT.
I think a more suitable punishment would be to stand in the DMV lines and never get their number called, for however long their prison term would be.

Section 1115 Demonstrations
About Section 1115 Demonstrations
Section 1115 of the Social Security Act gives the Secretary of Health and Human Services authority to approve experimental, pilot, or demonstration projects that promote the objectives of the Medicaid and CHIP programs. The purpose of these demonstrations, which give States additional flexibility to design and improve their programs, is to demonstrate and evaluate policy approaches such as:
- Expanding eligibility to individuals who are not otherwise Medicaid or CHIP eligible
- Providing services not typically covered by Medicaid
- Using innovative service delivery systems that improve care, increase efficiency, and reduce costs.
In general, section 1115 demonstrations are approved for a five-year period and can be renewed, typically for an additional three years. Demonstrations must be "budget neutral" to the Federal government, which means that during the course of the project Federal Medicaid expenditures will not be more than Federal spending without the waiver.
Final Rule-Review and Approval Process for Medicaid and CHIP Section 1115 Demonstrations
Section 1115 Demonstration Transparency State Health Official Letter
Note: This website provides policy information and data on demonstration projects in participating States.
If you are looking for health coverage in your State or to learn more about applying for Medicaid, please go to www.healthcare.gov.
Public Comments
The Affordable Care Act requires opportunity for public comment and greater transparency of the section 1115 demonstration projects. A final rule, effective on April 27, 2012, establishes a process for ensuring public input into the development and approval of new section 1115 demonstrations as well as extensions of existing demonstrations. This final rule sets standards for making information about Medicaid and CHIP demonstration applications and approved demonstration projects publicly available at the State and Federal levels. The rule ensures that the public will have an opportunity to provide comments on a demonstration while it is under review at CMS. At the same time, the final rule ensures that the development and review of demonstration applications will proceed in a timely and responsive manner.
There will be a 30-day Federal comment period for the general public and stakeholders to submit comments. CMS will not act on the demonstration request until 15 days, at a minimum, after the conclusion of the public comment period. CMS will continue to accept comments beyond the 30-day period; however, CMS cannot guarantee that comments received after the 30-day comment period will be considered due to the need for timely Federal review of a State's request. Therefore, CMS strongly encourages comments to be submitted within the 30-day Federal comment period.
Once a State's 30-day public comment period has ended, the State will submit an application to CMS. Within 15 days of receipt of the application, CMS will determine whether the application is complete. CMS will send the State written notice informing the State of receipt of the complete application, the date on which the Secretary received the application, and the start date of the 30-day Federal public notice period. If CMS determines that the application is not complete, CMS will notify the State of any missing elements in the application.
How to Comment on Pending Demonstration Applications
To comment on a specific pending demonstration, browse the waivers list and select a specific demonstration application or search by state or program name. Follow the link to submit your comments. CMS will review and post comments received, but will not respond to each individual comment.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
The authors review a viewpoint on human functional brain development, interactive specialization (IS), and its application to the emerging network of cortical regions referred to as the social brain. They advance the IS view in 2 new ways. First, they extend IS into a domain to which it has not previously been applied--the emergence of social cognition and mentalizing computations in the brain. Second, they extend the implications of the IS view from the emergence of specialized functions within a cortical region to a focus on how different cortical regions with complementary functions become orchestrated into networks during human postnatal development.
