The Thirty Years War opened many avenues for trade and certain nations fighting in the war needed international trade to maintain their prosperity. Statistics for international trade during the Thirty Years War are difficult to acquire and regional variations took place throughout Europe.
Certain regional variations are known about.
We know that trade between Seville and Spanish America declined and that from 1600 to 1660, a general depression regarding the import of American silver took place.
However, during the same time, there was an increase in Atlantic trade by both England and the Dutch. At this time both nations had powerful and expanding navies to defend their merchant trade. We also know that sugar production in Brazil doubled between 1620 and 1650 and this would only have happened if they were finding a market for this produce. If Spain was not trading in sugar, someone else had to be.
The Baltic had been a valuable trading zone for many years. All ships had to pay a toll to get through the Sound to the lucrative Hanseatic ports. All ships had to pay a toll to leave the Baltic as well. These tolls were all registered and recorded and an examination of them gives a good idea of the state of the economy in the Baltic during the Thirty Years War.
After 1619, there was a significant fall in the number of ships that passed through the Sound. This would seem to indicate that the amount of trade was declining. However, this was also a time of increased ships tonnage and the toll records do not state how big the ships were at the time they passed through the Sound. One 500 ton ship could transport more than four 100 ton ships yet the toll records would only indicate that one ship had passed through the Sound at a particular time. The use of the Sound fluctuated throughout the war and dipped markedly only when war appeared to be directly affecting the region.
In 1630, when Gustavus Adolphus invaded Pomerania, it is almost certain that trade dipped during the initial stages of invasion for fear that ships could get caught up in the fighting. But once the invasion turned in favour of Gustavus, his army would have needed supplying and this would have been a good incentive for the owners of merchant fleets to involve themselves in trade in the region.
The German merchant fleets did not expand as much as the Dutch and English fleets. However, the ships they had were used by the Spanish and Italians to do trade in the Baltic. This, in itself, brought trading revenue into Germany. Though the figures for trade between Germany and the Baltic during the war look poor when compared to the latter C16th, the latter C16th was a good time for Baltic trade and make the figures for 1618 -1648 look poor when, in fact, they may have been simply average. During the war, Germany actually diversified her trade to metals, ship-building materials and linen. A stagnant trading economy is one that does not change to meet market changes. That Germany did change is at least an indication that her attitude to trading was sound and modern in its approach. In return for her new types of exports, Germany imported spices, wine, oil and fruits.
The Thirty Years War inevitably brought in a degree of economic protectionism. Wars usually contract the number of markets available to trade with and states have to adopt a more aggressive trading policy if they are to survive and to break in to the limited number of markets that are left. After 1620, England and the Dutch found new markets abroad in the New World and in the East to compensate for lost European markets.
Spain was struggling for her economic survival after 1621. The Dutch, in particular, were putting a great deal of pressure on her overseas trading posts. Within Spain, it was felt that the situation with the Dutch could only be resolved by war even if this would further compromise Spain's weak economic state.
Between 1621 and 1623, three new armadas were established in Flanders, Galicia and Gibraltar to support those in Cadiz and Lisbon. Their sole function was to harass Dutch naval and merchant ships in the Atlantic. In response to this, the Dutch had to increase the protection it gave to its merchant fleets. Clashes between the two were inevitable and the resultant loss of ships pushed up the price of insurance and lead to higher freight charges. The end result of this was a general rise in the price of the commodities being transported.
The Spanish did their bets to modernise their trading position during the Thirty Years War. In October 1624, the Almirantazo de Los Paises Septentrionales (Inspectorate for Commerce) was established to deal with trade between Andalusia and North Europe. It was based in Seville and was highly effective. Other Inspectorates were based in the Baltic and Flanders and their task was to win back trade from the Dutch. However, the Inspectorates had no brief to modernise the workings of Spanish and Portugese ports. Ironically, it was these ports on the Spanish mainland that needed reform if Spain was to benefit.
From 1625, Spain imposed a total river blockade in Northern Europe. This was a very effective move. Diary markets in Holland fell dramatically. The blockade was partially lifted in 1629 when it started to affect Flemish trade and its impact suitably weakened. By the mid-1630's, the Spanish had been driven out of many coastal areas in and around Holland and the impact of the blockade fell away.
Predicting trade patterns was difficult then. French western Atlantic ports acted an bases for Dutch shipping yet one was Catholic and the other was Protestant. After the success of the Portugese rebellion in 1640, Dutch traders traded directly with the Iberian peninsula via Portugal.
However, the impact on Dutch and Spanish trade was such that by the 1640's both parties sought a settlement to allow them to expand their merchant fleets again in times of peace. In particular, the Dutch were acutely aware that the value of shares in the Dutch West Indian Company had decreased markedly and the powerful merchant families in Amsterdam flexed their political clout. Peace could only bring a return to prosperity.

Comments about Kenda Honey Badger Pro 29" Tire:
I upgraded from my stock Bontrager to Honey Badgers. I've ridden PA, MD, and NC in all kinds of conditions and they held up quite well. If you're a racer, you could find a faster tire. If you ride once or twice and week and want a tire that gives you confidence in any condition, this tire is great! They measure 2.2, but they feel wider. Highly recommended!

Comments about Kenda Honey Badger Pro 29" Tire:
Love these tires. Install with a floor pump. Was using Karmas for a few years, but wanted better cornering and more solid turns due to stronger sidewall. Badgers are the perfect mix of medium knobs in the center, but spaced perfectly to grip rocks and not slip. Been on rocks, dirt and roots. Side knobs have great bite. I run 2.2 on front of my Niner and 2.0 in the rear due to tight clearance.

Avalon High
Avalon High (Paperback)

Avalon High, I was starting to think, might not be so bad after all.
Maybe it's not where Ellie wants to be, but if you have to start at a new school, Avalon High is typical enough: There's Lance, the jock. Jennifer, the cheerleader. And Will, senior class president, quarterback, and all-around good guy.
But not everyone at Avalon High is who they appear to be . . . not even, as Ellie is about to discover, herself. As a bizarre drama begins to unfold, Ellie has to wonder, what part does she play in all this? Do the coincidences she's piecing together really mean—as in King Arthur's court—that tragedy is fast approaching for her new friends?
Ellie doesn't know if she can do anything to stop the coming trouble. But somehow, she knows she has to try.

Diamond Peak athletes Zane Bensing, Ian Reeves, Hannah Johnson and Ben Farrar raced in a Western Region FIS event this past Thursday through Sunday, Jan. 5-8, at Jackson Hole, Wyo.
The athletes fought hard and made phenomenal adjustments in their skiing despite many factors. The race was held on a terrain-intensive, bullet-proof surface; any and all mistakes were magnified tenfold. This being the case, Johnson still earned a respectable eighth place on Saturday.
Meanwhile, her little sister, Belle Johnson, raced to a second-place finish at Sugar Bowl Resort on Sunday, Jan. 8 for the Diamond Peak J4 ladies.
Sugar Bowl also hosted the J3 Wild West Slalom Qualifier this past weekend, Jan. 13 -15, in which the Diamond Peak J3s performed well overall.
The Diamond Peak J3 ladies had three athletes place in the top 10 on the first two days. Lauren Keller finished in the top five in all three races, earning a spot on the podium for her third-place finish on Sunday in brutally windy conditions.
"The wind was so fierce on Sunday, some of our smaller athletes were actually being pushed back by the wind," said Diamond Peak Coach Eric Garoya.
Luke Rodarte of the Diamond Peak J3 men skied impressively at Sugar Bowl, stepping up to the podium twice for his second- and third-place finishes on Saturday and Sunday.
Diamond Peak's annual winter celebration fundraiser, Ullr Fest, returns from Friday through Sunday, Jan. 20-22. The event is free and open to the public.
All racers at the Tahoe League level and above will participate in a torch-lit parade on Show-Off during the Friday night bonfire and opening ceremony beginning at 5 p.m. But participants don't have to ski or snowboard to enjoy Ullr Fest.
On Saturday, the Ullr games begin on the deck of the lodge with a shovel race, poker run and snowman contest to name a few. "Under the Radar" will be performing both Friday and Saturday night, which also features a hearty Viking-style buffet dinner, dancing, and live and silent auctions.
A King and Queen of Ullr Fest 2012 will be crowned. Come in costume or straight from the slopes. The Ullr Fest Auction is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Diamond Peak Ski Team. Check www.DPSEF.org under "events" for a complete lineup of Ullr Fest games and activities.

Making People, Pride and Appreciation Top Priorities
Shining a Spotlight on Employee Excellence
Just as the university takes pride in its stellar faculty and students, it appreciates the contributions and accomplishments of its dynamic, diverse and multitalented staff members. Toward this end, the university community was invited to participate in an appreciation campaign that has many campus offices proudly displaying posters about Kent State excellence and many employees wearing "I ♥ KSU" buttons.
Efforts from building pride to improving health and wellness have led to national recognition of the university's work environment, including Kent State's selection by the Chronicle of Higher Education as one of academe's Best Places to Work. In addition, the Employers Research Council has recognized the university four times in its annual rankings of the 99 great workplaces for top talent in Northeast Ohio.
Kent State launched a new awards program to honor full-time employees who demonstrate exceptional performance in advancing the university's excellence agenda. The annual President's Excellence Award, which includes a monetary expression of gratitude, is given to three staff members who are nominated by their supervisors and/or colleagues, and personally selected by President Lefton.

Foellinger-Freimann Botanical Conservatory
1100 S. Calhoun St.
Fort Wayne Indiana 46802United States
(260) 427-6440
Editor's Review
Fort Wayne's convenient glassed-in conservatory is a peaceful oasis in the middle of downtown.
Even when the weather outside is frightful, it's always springtime inside Fort Wayne's 25,000-square-foot botanical conservatory. Green thumbs and wannabe gardeners alike will enjoy wandering through the three greenhouses, perhaps culling ideas for their green spaces at home. The interior hallways are full of kid-friendly exhibits, but the colorful gardens are the real reason to visit. The showcase garden greenhouse contains an always-fresh display that changes six times a year, as well as a small seasonal butterfly/moth tent where visitors can get up close and personal with several species of these magical winged creatures. The tropical greenhouse re-creates a lush rain forest environment with thriving oversized plants, waterfall features and a koi pond. At the other end of the flora spectrum, the sandy desert garden houses more than 70 different types of cacti. Outside, visitors can relax on shaded benches and contemplate the park-like beauty of the exploration garden (check out the composting demonstration site) or the more formal terrace garden. Parking is available across the street in the Civic Center garage; bring your ticket for validation with paid admission. The conservatory is closed on Mondays.

- Fifteen federal buildings have earned top scores for energy efficiency in a
national competition. A federal courthouse in Newark, N.J., and the San Antonio
Federal Building in Texas made the top 10 out of more than 3,000 entries in the
2012 Energy Star competition. Both buildings reduced their energy use by more than
30 percent. Thirteen more buildings cut their energy use by a fifth. The General Services
Administration says it is using advanced meters and smart building technology
to monitor improvements. It says together, the buildings have saved nearly $1
million in energy bills. (GSA)
- The U. S. Postal Service has hired United Healthcare to provide
health insurance to 35,000 non-career employees. The move will bring USPS into
compliance with the Affordable Health Care Act. The three year contract starts in
2014. It will cost up to $239 million per year, depending on how many people sign
up. Beneficiaries will pay their own way. The contract comes with two renewal
options, each for three years. Regular postal workers under the Federal Employee
Health Benefits program will continue with the same coverage. (USPS)
- The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority knows how to lift
the spirits of furloughed feds: discounted golf at three suburban courses.
Starting today, federal employees can show their IDs and play for just $25. That's
about 30 percent off the regular fee. Park authority officials say the program is
meant as a gesture of solidarity with federal workers forced to take unpaid days
off. They suggest you might want to play with your coworkers. (NVRPA)
- President Barack Obama says he's confident the government's anti-terror
complex did what it was supposed to before the Boston Marathon bombings. But he's
asked a group of four inspectors general to launch a 90-day review. They'll look at whether
information sharing was adequate. And if there's something the government could
have done to prevent the Patriot's Day attack. The review is headed by Charles
McCullough, the I.G. of the intelligence community. He'll be joined by the
inspectors general of the CIA, Justice and Homeland Security. (Federal News
- Rep. Melvin Watt (D-N.C.) is poised to take over the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which regulates
lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. White House officials told the
Associated Press President Barack Obama plans to nominate Watt today to replace
Edward DeMarco. Watt has represented the Charlotte-area in Washington for 20
years. He is a senior member of the House Financial Services Committee. He played
a key role in the 2010 financial regulatory overhaul legislation. (Federal News
- President Barack Obama plans to name a former lobbyist to head the Federal Communications Commission. A White House source tells the Associated Press, the president will nominate Tom Wheeler as top telecommunications regulator. Wheeler is former head of the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association, and of the National Cable Television Association. Since 2005, he's been a venture capitalist at Core Capital Partners. If confirmed, Wheeler will face the issue of how to auction off television bandwidth to make more room for wireless data services. The current chairman, Julius Genachowski, is expected to step down after the May 9 FCC public meeting. (Federal News Radio)

The tour will kick off in St. Louis and wrap up in San Diego on Oct. 5.
"I think the live outdoor kind of summer vibe is always different than the indoor arena tour because there's less emphasis on production and more on live music," frontman Adam Levine said in an interview. "It's kind of the purist form of a tour 'cause there's not too many bells and whistles."
The "The Voice" host added that the band is working on a follow up album to their critically acclaimed record "Overexposed," which according to guitarist James Valentine, "may be a little darker."
"The stuff we're working on now, it definitely has gone maybe a little darker in its sound, maybe back a little bit more to what we kind of did on (our debut) 'Songs About Jane,'" he said.

Sen. Brown wants the NOAA chief fired for agency misconduct
Thursday - 4/19/2012, 2:20pm EDT
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency's administrator is on the hot seat because of allegations of misconduct and abuse by bureau officials.
Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) is asking the White House to fire NOAA Administrator Jane Lubchenco for her inaction after the Commerce Department's inspector general found mismanagement and potential fraud and abuse of millions of dollars in the agency's Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund.
The Fisheries Enforcement Asset Forfeiture Fund is charged with overseeing fishermen and fisheries to ensure they follow laws and regulations.
Brown said failings of Lubchenco to discipline those involved in violating agency and federal procurement policy shows a lack of understanding of the situation.
"The misconduct at NOAA is even more serious than that at GSA, as the NOAA scandals involve wasteful spending that was financed through abusive treatment of both our fishermen and [the] American taxpayer," Brown wrote in his letter to the President on April 13. "The Commerce Department Inspector General has documented that NOAA employees engaged in acts that we believe constitute deliberate breaches of the public trust and arguably the laws of our nation. Despite these multiple reports, no one at NOAA has been held accountable."
Brown said three senior GSA officials have either been fired or resigned and as many as 10 others are on administrative leave during the investigation of lavish spending at the Western Regions Conference in October 2010.
A request to the White House and to NOAA for comments on Brown's letter has not been returned.
The Commerce IG found in a November 2011 report that NOAA employees manipulated procurement rules to buy a $300,000 fishing boat, and used the boat on the weekend for personal purposes. The IG said a NOAA procurement attorney advised against buying the boat, yet they did so anyways.
Auditors found the employees used the boat for trips that totaled more than 100 miles and charged the government more than $12,000 for gas and docking fees. The IG also has found that since buying the boat, it has only been used for official purposes nine times in three years.
Brown said NOAA employees actually mislead the IG when they were questioned about the use of the boat by family and friends.
Brown said NOAA employees also tried to cover up the problems. He said Dale Jones, a former chief of NOAA law enforcement, shredded 75 percent to 80 percent of the files in his office during an active IG investigation into his office's conduct.
"Administrator Lubchenco has been even less forthcoming-she kept an IG report on the NOAA party boat secret until I requested it," he wrote. "Although she now claims to have tipped off the IG about the boat, the IG's report gives credit to an internal whistleblower, not Administrator Lubchenco."
Brown added the changes instituted by Lubchenco in the light of the IG report are not enough.
"[T]hese scandals came to light under Administrator Lubchenco's watch. Instead of cleaning house and restoring the agency's reputation with the fishing community, she has protected the wrongdoers," he said. "She has gone beyond all legal requirements in her protection of those who should be facing serious discipline. Given the opportunity to bring the agency back to health, she has chosen to keep bad actors in positions of power."

Uncovered: A major BUAV undercover investigation exposes the reality of life and death inside one UK laboratory.
In November 2010, the UK Home Office released a report on Wickham Laboratories, Hampshire, which substantiated many of the findings of the BUAV's 2009 undercover investigation, The Ugly Truth.The BUAV's investigator worked undercover for eight months at Wickham Laboratories and secretly filmed the treatment of animals inside the facility.
Following our revelations, the Home Office report found breaches to the animal testing licenses issued to the company and infringement proceedings are being considered against it.
The report's key findings include:
In addition, the report highlights a potential conflict of interest with the Named Veterinary Surgeon, responsible for animal welfare, being a major company shareholder. Despite the above findings, the BUAV are disappointed that the Home Office have failed to properly investigate whether the drugs tested at Wickham Laboratories necessitated animal tests, in particular whether such tests were required by national and international regulators.
Following the BUAV's investigation, it has emerged that one of the companies commissioning tests on rabbits at Wickham has since moved to non-animal alternatives and the UK Veterinary Medicines Directorate have launched a review into the use of rabbits for pyrogenicity testing. The Home Office investigation is a missed opportunity to review the need for animal tests across the institution and has seen the Government wash their hands of their responsibility to enforce non-animal methods.
The BUAV carried out an investigation inside a major UK animal laboratory. A BUAV investigator worked undercover for 8 months at Wickham Laboratories in Hampshire and secretly filmed the appalling suffering inflicted on thousands of animals inside the facility.
Our findings are shocking and show that crude, archaic and extremely cruel animal tests are still allowed in the UK in a continual cycle of pain and misery for the routine batch testing of products.
What we found at the lab
The UK government is failing in its legal obligation to enforce the use of non-animal alternatives where they exist and to ensure that, if animals are used, then it should be the minimum number and with the minimum amount of suffering.
Despite a UK and EU ban on the use of animals for cosmetic testing, there is a loophole in the law which allows animals to continue to suffer dreadfully in tests for a product that, although licensed for medical use, could very well end up being used – quite legally – for cosmetic purposes.
The appalling suffering inflicted on thousands of animals in cruel, crude and archaic tests. Animals kept in small, virtually barren cages that failed to meet their behavioural and social needs.
The suffering and death of hundreds of mice every week in the cruel and controversial LD50 poisoning test for the highly toxic substance botulinum toxin, commonly known as botox.
The use of rabbits in pyrogenicity tests during which they are injected with a substance and forcibly restrained by their necks in stocks for hours at a time - individual rabbits are then routinely re-used in the test.
Some animals suffered in tests that are no longer required by national and international regulations. This makes a mockery out of the often made claim that companies have to do tests just because regulators require them.
Using rabbits in tests
Wickham has a colony of around 100 rabbits. They all have numbers and were given names such as Dexter, Melon, Uranus, Fork and Coral by staff.
As part of the test, rabbits could be starved for up to 30 hours. During the test, they are forcibly immobilised by their necks in stocks for several hours. The test substance is injected into an ear vein, sometimes resulting in painful damage to the ears. A temperature probe was inserted 7.5cm deep into the rectum and left for hours. Some rabbits struggled against their confinement and these invasive procedures. The laboratory acknowledges that struggling could result in injury, particularly to their backs.
The tests are uncomfortable and distressing for the rabbits. Some were killed at the end of the test, but others were returned to their cages to be re-used repeatedly in further pyrogen tests.
A miserable existence
The rabbits could remain at Wickham for many months to be used time and time again in tests. Although naturally inquisitive, social and active, these poor animals were kept on their own in small, essentially barren metal or plastic cages.
This caging was totally inappropriate for the behavioural and physical needs of rabbits. There were no opportunities for natural behavior such as digging and burrowing. Bored and frustrated, some rabbits displayed abnormal behaviour, including repetitive bar biting and pacing inside the small confines of their cages.
The UK government is failing in its legal obligation to enforce the universally accepted concept of the 3 R's (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) for animal tests. Tests such as the LD50 test for botulinum toxin and the pyrogenicity test have valid in vitro alternatives and it is outrageous that they are not being implemented.
The Limulus amoebocyte lysate assay (LAL) is an 'in vitro' method that can be used for detecting bacterial pyrogens and is recognized by regulatory authorities in both Europe and the USA as an alternative to the rabbit pyrogenicity test. Indeed, European guidelines stress the alternative should be used in preference to the rabbit test in many cases.
The SNAP-25 assay, a method that does not use live animals but instead measures the activity of the toxin in a test tube, can be used to replace the botox mouse LD50 tests. The BUAV believes that under UK law this test should be used because the Home Office has a duty not to license tests when a non-animal method is available.
Furthermore, this test has been validated by an official UK government laboratory specifically for the type of botox used at Wickham and has been used by them since 1999. Inexplicably, the UK Home Office is not insisting on this test at Wickham even after all these years.

This is the first year I started making contributions to a traditional IRA. On Jan. 15, 2013, I made a $5000 contribution to traditional IRA, assuming that my MAGI would be under the income limits. But when I completed my taxes in TaxAct, I realized that I was only eligible to make $2850 in contributions to traditional IRA that could be made deductible(I participate in a retirement program). I now have an excess contribution of $2150 to the traditional IRA.
TaxAct tells me that I don't owe penalty for the excess contribution since it is under the limit. I don't want to make a non-deductible IRA contribution at this time. I'd rather have it changed to a RothIRA. What are my options in this scenario:
I don't care about the deductible part of the traditional IRA too - so, can I convert the entire $5000 contribution to a Roth IRA? Or, am I limited to characterizing only the excess contribution over the limit as RothIRA contribution? Or, I don't have any options, and cannot change anything with the contribution?

Ramirez, who spent most of his Major League career with the Cleveland Indians and the Boston Red Sox, hasn't played professionally since 2011.
The slugger served a 50-game suspension for steroid use in 2009 while playing for the LA Dodgers, and was facing a 100-game suspension from the Tampa Bay Rays when he decided to retire.
The deal with EDA, in Kaohsiung, confirmed by Ramirez's agent Barry Praver, is for $25,000 per month for the season, running May through November.
The 40-year-old slugger is considered one of the greatest hitters of all time, knocking in 555 home runs, 21 grand slams and appearing in 12 consecutive All-Star games.
Ramirez could potentially leverage his season in Kaohsiung into a job in the Japanese league or a potential, though unlikely, return to the U.S. game.

Comments about Dimension Flat Top TT Bar:
as expected, a good aero bar
Comments about Dimension Flat Top TT Bar:
I noticed I wasn't using the lower position on my road bike drop bars much any more so I switched to these bullhorns. The overall feel is a lot more like my mountain bike bars and bar ends which I am very used to and find comfortable. The Shimano 105 break/shifter levers go right on the upper end of the bar which put the levers at a very comfortable angle for functional use. I added some aero bars for my lower "into the wind" position.

Rugby Law and Order was restored in Pretoria as the Bulls arrested the Cheetahs 5-match winning streak.
It was tough and it was demanding but the better team won 26-20.
The better team (the Cheetahs) led at halftime but overall the Bulls were more accurate in converting opportunities into points.
The Cheetahs secured a bonus point with an injury time penalty and at least took something from the trip to the country's capital.
The first 40 was played at a frenetic pace and both teams were positive in wanting to use the ball. The good intentions didn't necessarily translate to the best rugby but they both played with expression and adventure.
The Bulls were particularly charged up with the day doubling as the Bulls Rugby Union's 75th anniversary. A former player parade preceded the kick-off and the Bulls took that emotion into a frantic start, but had no points to show for the early impression.
The Cheetahs, unbeaten in five matches, displayed more composure, were not hassled and settled to take a 6-0 lead midway through the first half and did enough to lead 9-6 at the break.
The Bulls, inspired by Jano Vermaak's individual brilliance, got ahead 16-9 on 45 minutes and never relinquished the lead.
The Cheetahs had the chance to draw level with five minutes to go but Burton Francis, the goalkicking hero of the win against the Stormers, couldn't repeat his heroics and missed with a conversion.
The Bulls, almost immediately, made the game safe with a Callie Visagie try and while the Cheetahs clawed back three points there wasn't enough time left to make up a two-score deficit.

The Replace Inheritance with Delegation refactoring (sometimes known as Replace Implementation Inheritance With Composition) provides a systematic way to replace inheritance hierarchies.
Inheritance hierarchies allow system designers to elegantly express relationships between different types of objects in a system. However, such hierarchies can be difficult to implement and refactor. Many developers favour restricting the use of inheritance hierarchies to very simple scenarios. If you started out using inheritance hierarchies (perhaps you had a simple scenario to start with) but are now finding the inheritance hierarchy is now getting in the way, apply this pattern.
Property Example
Suppose we have the following property-centric class:
We might have a related class such as this:
For this simple case, we can stop here. For more complicated cases, the inheritance might start getting in the way. Here is how you can remove it using traditional delegation:
It looks like we have greatly increased the size of our code. This is because the earlier example was making using of Groovy's compact property notation which we can't use in this case. We should notice however, that most of this code is fairly boiler-plate in style.
Even though this example is not too bad, it becomes annoying to have to read, write and maintain this boiler-plate code. Instead, we can make use of Groovy's Meta-Programming capabilities as follows:
We can use the above classes with this script code:
With the result being:
Method Example
The above example focussed on classes that were very data centric and were implemented using properties. Let's consider the a similar example but this time with classes which are method centric.
First, we define a
Person class.
We can use inheritance to define a staff member class as follows:
This works well here, but in complex systems the inheritance might start to complicate our system. An alternative way to implement the functionality using traditional delegation is shown here:
The pattern here is simple, for each method in the delegate class that we want available in the staff member class, we create a method that explicitly calls the delegate. Simple but this is boiler-plate code that needs to change whenever we change the underlying classes.
So, as an alternative, we can use Groovy's Meta Object Programming facilities to auto delegate methods using
This version will require less maintenance as we don't need to explicitly change it if the
Person class changes over time. Note that because the
describe method didn't follow the boiler-plate approach of simple delegation (because it needed extra logic), we are still required to implement that method manually.
This script code shows the various classes described above in action:
Which results in the following output:

Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a likely candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 and a would-be reformer of the GOP (see HERE), says Mitt Romney is "absolutely wrong" to blame his defeat in last week's election on President Obama's�offer of "gifts" to minorities and young people (see HERE).
In a news conference at a meeting of the Republican Governors Association in Las Vegas, Jindal said THIS of Romney's argument:

|Introduction | Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN A MFT lens performance | Sigma 30mm f/2.8 DN A MFT versus competition | Conclusion
Sigma's range of DN lenses are specifically designed for mirrorless cameras. The 30mm f/2.8 is the equivalent to a 60mm on a MFT camera and has recently been updated but, at $199, the price seems at odds with its new premium Art series label. Read on to see how well this model performs.
Although Sigma only introduced the DN range specifically for Sony E and MFT mirrorless cameras a short while ago, they've already redesigned the exterior of the lenses and integrated them into the firm's new A series product line. The new, metaled exterior finishis more in keeping with the minimalistic design of Sony's E-Series than either the Olympus or Panasonic models, but it's well made and features a new linear AF motor for smoother, quieter focusing during video (and stills), and two glass molded aspherical elements (with one being a double sided asphere). The MFT mount model is the equivalent to a 60mm and has a minimum focusing distance of 30cm (11.8in), a maximum magnification ratio of 1:8.1, and comes in either a silver or black finish for $199.

Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen
Physical Characteristics
Breed Group:
The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen ranges between 15 and 20 kg (25-40 lbs).
32-40 cm (12-16 inches)
They are primarily white with bits of orange, lemon, or black. They may be bi- or tri-color.
The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen has a double coat that is both long and rough.
Although extroverted and friendly, they tend to be quite independent and enjoy the opportunity to roam. They are active, lively, and vocal meaning they bark or howl more than some owners may like. That being said, they can be very loyal as well and they interact well with children and other dogs.
Country of Origin:
The Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen is of ancient history and their origin can be traced back to the 16th century Griffon Vendéen (a larger, stronger ancestor). They are a hound that was bred to hunt game by scent and their physical characteristics evolved to make them highly suited to the climate and geography of the western coast of France.
A direct translation of their name from French to English reveals much about their character and appearance: "Petit" meaning small, "Basset" meaning low to the ground, "Griffon" meaning wire coated, and Vendéen refers to the region of France where they originate.
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens are hardy, bold, persistent, and intelligent hunters that exhibit excellent mental and physical stamina. They tend to be cheerful, friendly dogs that enjoy human interaction. Because of their intelligence however, they have a tendency to be willful so it is important to establish your role as their owner.
Although somewhat willful, they can be trained with gentle, assertive guidance. Treat based training has been shown to be effective but it is also important to give clear, firm instructions. Establishing your role as the boss makes training easier and training should be undertaken from a young age.
As is typical with hunting dogs, they require a lot of exercise. Though their space requirements are limited, they will become destructive if they do not get enough exercise. If you are not able to walk them regularly (ideally twice a day) they need access to a large field or yard where they will self-exercise.
Petit Basset Griffon Vendéens make excellent pets. They are gentle with children and loving toward a family. Because of their protective nature, they also make good watchdogs.

Shot fired at Everett Mall; man arrested
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Everett police respond to a shooting at the Macy's at Everett Mall on Tuesday.

Everett police respond to a shooting at the Macy's at Everett Mall on Tuesday.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Everett police respond to a shooting at the Macy's at Everett Mall on Tuesday.
The suspect suffered minor injuries while being disarmed by loss prevention officers during the 5:45 p.m. incident, Everett police spokesman Aaron Snell said.
The situation unfolded at the north end of the mall near the west entrance.
Louise Fellows, 72, of Lake Stevens, said she was returning a blouse to Macy's when she heard "loud yelling and a struggle."
She saw a man tackled by several mall security officers just inside the door. They were soon shouting at the man to drop his gun, Fellows said.
The man was yelling and struggling, too. In one hand he appeared to be holding a silver revolver, Fellows said.
"I saw the gun go off and there wasn't anyone there (where it was aimed). It was so surreal to me," she said.
Fellows said she jumped behind a counter. It all unfolded so quickly she didn't see the man's face.
"When I heard the cuffs go on, I figured everything was OK," Fellows said.
Macy's was locked down, and much of the parking lot was emptied while police investigated. Some other parts of the mall remained open on Tuesday evening, Snell said.
A handgun and bullet were recovered, and the suspect was "slightly injured," he said.
People were running from the mall as officers arrived. Police treated the situation as a potential active-shooter scenario, Snell said. The Everett police south precinct is just a few blocks away.
Customers and employees were removed from the mall with police escorts.
Everett major crime detectives planned to interview the witnesses and employees, who in the hours after the shooting were being kept together away from crowds and confusion. A number could be seen behind the yellow crime-scene tape, waiting outside the building.
At one point, several Everett police officers also could be seen wrestling a man into the back of a patrol car. The man was wearing handcuffs. The man was expected to be booked for investigation of robbery and assault.
Shoplifting cases that turn into a scuffle often are prosecuted as robberies. Using a firearm during a robbery can add years to a sentence upon conviction.
For several hours, people continued to leave the mall, some carrying shopping bags. One family was seen walking to their vehicle with two small children. They all held hands.
Some drivers honked their horns at police and snapped cellphone pictures as they passed the scene.
Although witnesses reported that the suspect appeared to be with a woman before the scuffle broke out, police weren't looking for any other suspects, Snell said.
Police also weren't saying what the man was trying to steal.

If we got to eat out, it was a treat.
One of my first dining out memories as a kid was eating at The Horseshoe Restaurant in my hometown of
Back then, folks didn't do a lot of eating out. Restaurants were for special occasions, and fast food was for fun occasions.
We live in a society that operates in the opposite way now.
Our homes are full of career-minded adults who handle heavy workloads and families with super active children.
There's not a lot of time to cook at home. And when there is, nobody wants to.
At the recent Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less program, the emphasis was on our society's eating out habits — and they've grown considerably over the years.
The number of people who eat at least one away-from-home food meal in the course of a day has increased dramatically over the past 20 years. The number of restaurants has double during that time. About half of all
Since we're so busy and so hungry, we grab what we can where and when we can but we don't think much about what we're consuming. Eating out accounts for about 25 percent of our consumption, but makes up about 34 percent of the calories we consume.
Portion size, which we discussed last week, is one of the problems. What was considered regular 20 years ago, is considered small now. The regular fast food meal for adults of a small hamburger, small fries and a drink is now considered the kid's meal in today's eating world.
Eat Smart suggests the best strategy for healthy eating is to eat at home more and save the restaurants for those special occasions.
Eating at home gives us variety, healthier choices, smaller portions and generally fewer calories. Plus when we make it a family event, it establishes good habits and positive eating patterns.
When you do eat out, you should prepare before you go.
If you're able, check the menu beforehand so you can plan what to order. Make smart, nutritional choices. When you know you'll be eating out, eat less during other meals. Think about your hunger. Are you very hungry, hungry or not so hungry? (I always seem to be the first one.) Read the menu carefully and don't order more than you need. Splitting an entrée, ordering an appetizer as an entrée or taking part of your meal home are good ways to control portions.
You're supposed to avoid menu items that use words like: crispy, creamy, sautéed, pan-fried, buttery, breaded, sauced or stuffed. I love all of those words, but they usually mean those food items will be higher in calories and fat.
Choose healthier options. Order foods that are baked, grilled, broiled, poached or steamed. Ask for salad dressings and sauces on the side.
Skip the breadbasket (gulp!) and enjoy one piece of bread with your meal instead. Don't blow calories on beverages. Water with lemon is a great dinner companion.
Skip dessert (yikes!) or order one dessert for the table and share it (I actually do this often).
Overall, remember to enjoy your meal, eat it slowly and stop when you are full.
And if you're ever in
I'm happy to learn that it's still going strong.
Sans the white tablecloths.
Timmi Toler is city editor of The Daily News who is keeping up with the Eat Smart, Move More, Weigh Less 15-week weight management program sponsored by

Enabling low-carbon end-use
Increased energy efficiency, electrification and power sector decarbonisation
The industry, building (including residential and services sub-sector) and transport sectors account for a great majority of final energy consumption. To achieve ETP 2012's 2°C Scenario (2DS), which gives the world an 80% chance of keeping average global temperature rise below 2°C compared to pre-industrial levels, these sectors must couple increase use of decarbonised electricity as well as improve energy efficiency, cutting their own total CO2 emissions by more than 20% before 2050, even as the power sector reduces its emissions by 80%.

Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Mitt Romney won most of Ohio geographically, while President Barack Obama won where the most votes were to win the pivotal battleground state again.
The Democrat racked up votes in Ohio's major urban/industrial areas, and Republican Mitt Romney carried nearly everywhere else. Obama was able to take the 18 electoral votes he and Romney fought so hard for by winning its most populated areas.
He carried the six biggest counties in terms of votes, and eight of the top 10. He won two-thirds of the vote in the biggest cities, according to exit poll results for The Associated Press and the television networks.
That was enough to offset strong showings by Romney in GOP-dominated suburbs and rural areas. Romney won about five of every six counties statewide.
With all precincts reporting unofficial returns, Obama won by more than 107,000 votes, or nearly 50.2 percent, of 5.4 million votes cast, according to Ohio Secretary of State tallies.That was down from 2008, when he carried Ohio over John McCain with 51.5 percent of the vote, more than 262,000 votes ahead of the Republican.
Obama's support of federal help for an auto industry bailout was a game-changer, said the GOP state chairman, Bob Bennett.
"The biggest determining factor was that we couldn't handle the automobile bailout issue," Bennett said Wednesday. "That's where we significantly underperformed."
Voter samples indicated wide support for the Obama-backed auto bailout, helping an industry with plants and thousands of jobs in the state. The Romney campaign had made a late effort in Ohio to undercut Obama's support on that issue, with Romney emphasizing his long ties to the auto industry in Michigan and pro-Romney ads belittling the president's efforts as helpful to China.
Union voters who normally make up a bigger chunk of the presidential electorate in Ohio than in other swing states favored Obama 60 percent to 38 percent, indicating not only support for the auto industry bailout but lingering fallout from the 2011 move by Republicans to restrict collective bargaining for public employee unions. Also, Ohioans whose families make less than $50,000 a year supported the president by a 3-to-5 margin, exit polls showed.
Bob Rockenfield, 70, of Cincinnati, voted for Romney, but said Wednesday he felt Republicans are "just not getting across to people."
He thinks Obama won Ohio because of his appeal to union workers and minorities, "and also playing up that Romney was this country club rich boy and he was for the middle class."
Frank Hocker, 67, a retiree who once worked at a truck manufacturing plant in Springfield, said he wasn't a single-issue voter, but Obama won his praise for helping the auto industry.
"When Obama stuck his neck out and did the right thing with General Motors, you know, that satisfied me," Hocker said.
Some conventional thinking may be changed by the two most recent presidential elections.
Once, Ohio's three biggest cities were considered this way: Cleveland solidly Democratic, Cincinnati Republican, and Columbus a swing area. But Obama has now carried the Cincinnati and Columbus areas twice, racking up 60 percent in Columbus-based Franklin County, besides easily carrying Cleveland. Obama in 2008 became the first Democratic presidential candidate to carry Hamilton County (Cincinnati area) since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
Appalachian Ohio had been a swing region, with Bill Clinton carrying it twice. Romney expanded on McCain's success there, winning three eastern Ohio counties — Belmont, Jefferson and Monroe — that last voted for a Republican presidential candidate in 1972 with Richard Nixon.
In rural counties where voters often put faith concerns first, Romney won about 60 percent of the vote. Exit polls indicated Romney was more popular than Obama among voters looking for a president who shared their values.
But Obama did much better with voters who felt he cared about their everyday concerns.
"I guess in a way we see ourselves in him," said Dominique Crittenden, 25, a nurse's assistant in Cincinnati. "I felt like when he spoke, he spoke to me. I didn't feel that Romney spoke to me."
There appears to be a widening generation gap among Ohio voters.
For two consecutive elections, young voters have turned out in bigger numbers than they had in the past. And they again decisively backed Obama by a 2-to-1 margin. But the same held true for seniors who voted Republican again, while middle age voters and those nearing retirement age edged over to Romney after leaning Obama in 2008.
That could give Republicans opportunities, because Ohio's population is growing older, as Baby Boomers reach or near retirement. Ohio's 65-and-older population increased by nearly 8 percent in the decade ending in 2010, comprising 14.3 percent of the state's population.
Bennett said he is optimistic that the GOP can also do better in urban communities with effective handling of the economy, given that they are the hardest hit by joblessness and poverty. Republican Gov. John Kasich's approval ratings have gone up as the state's employment picture has improved.
One Ohio trend that hasn't changed: the state has now voted for the winning presidential candidate in the last 13 elections. And no Republican has won without Ohio.
