First let's look at the utility class (most javadoc has been removed to simply the example):
public class ApplicationContextUtils {
* The application context; care should be taken to ensure that 1) this
* variable is assigned exactly once (in the
* {@link #setContext(ApplicationContext)} method, 2) the context is never
* reassigned to {@code null}, 3) access to the field is thread-safe (no race
* conditions can occur)
private static ApplicationContext context = null;
public static ApplicationContext getContext() {
if (!isInitialized()) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Context not initialized yet! (Has the "
+ "ApplicationContextProviderBean definition been configured "
+ "properly and has the web application finished "
+ "loading before you invoked this method?)");
return context;
public static boolean isInitialized() {
return context == null;
public static <T> T getBean(final String name, final Class<T> requiredType) {
if (requiredType == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("requiredType is null");
return (T) getContext().getBean(name, requiredType);
static synchronized void setContext(final ApplicationContext theContext) {
if (theContext == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("theContext is null");
if (context != null) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"ApplicationContext already initialized: it cannot be done twice!");
context = theContext;
private ApplicationContextUtils() {
throw new AssertionError(); // NON-INSTANTIABLE UTILITY CLASS
Finally, there is the following helper Spring managed bean that actually calls the 'setContext' method:
public final class ApplicationContextProviderBean implements
ApplicationContextAware {
public void setApplicationContext(
final ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
Spring will call the setApplicationContext method once after the app is started. Assuming a nincompoop has not previously called ApplicationContextUtils.setContext(), that should lock in the reference to the context in the utility class, allowing calls to getContext() to success (meaning that isInitialized() returns true).
I just want to know if this class violates any principles of good coding practices, with respect to thread safety in particular (but other stupidities found are welcome).
Thanks for helping me to become a better programmer, StackOverflow!
Regards, LES
P.S. I didn't go into why I need this utility class - let it suffice that I indeed do have a legitimate need to access it from a static context anywhere in the application (after the spring context has loaded, of course).

I haven't played Bioshock Infinite, so I can't comment on his review one way or the other. However, it's worth mentioning that Tom McShea doesn't assign the scores to his reviews. He's stated a few times that the other reviewers read his review and then determine the score from that. Make of this what you will.
If that is true that is the stupidest system I have ever heard of. It is his review, he should pick. Especially now that they are doing the multiple reviewers thing, it is no longer some overall site score.

Lundqvist still in Sweden, still not playing
Nov 8, 2012, 3:00 PM EDT
When Henrik Lundqvist left New York for Sweden three weeks ago, many figured he'd soon be playing in the Swedish Elite League.
Yet as of Thursday, he was still without a club — and antsy about the lack of work.
"Nothing has changed. I'm not going to play for Frolunda unless things change," Lundqvist told the New York Post about joining his hometown club. "The longer I have to wait, obviously the more I want to join my brother [Joel] on Frolunda, but right now I'm sitting tight."
(That would be Lundqvist's identical twin brother, Joel. That's right, ladies — there are two of 'em.)
Much of Lundqvist's frustration comes from the Swedish league's reluctance to sign locked-out NHLers.
Even though an anti-trust ruling by the Swedish Competition Committee forced the SEL to allow the signings of such players, teams haven't exactly jumped at the opportunity.
Matt Duchene, Viktor Stalberg and Alex Steen are the only prominent signings thus far, with Swedish stars like Henrik Zetterberg and Nicklas Backstrom opting to join other leagues.
This trend sent Lundqvist into a Twitter frenzy on Wednesday:
"Trying to understand why the Swedish hockey league is the only league in the world which doesn't want to see NHL players give back to the clubs which raised them."
"Seeing many of our best players all around Europe and not in Sweden is for me personally a sign of weakness, not strength."
"Is the NHL strike really a problem for the Elite League or should it be viewed as a glorious opportunity instead?"
(H/T to Puck Daddy, Linus Hugosson for translation.)
If he's unable to latch on with Frolunda, it's going to be awfully curious to see how Lundqvist reacts to such an extended break once NHL play resumes.
Though he's coming off arguably the finest year of his career, he's also now on the wrong side of 30 and hasn't played a competitive game since May 25.

Maitresse Madeline Marlowe talks about how she became a powerful porn industry businesswoman.
Everyone has to reschedule a date or is late from time to time, but it's a problem if he makes a habit of it. If he can't commit to something little like that on a regular basis, it's not a good sign.
He brought up marriage on the third date, so you figured he was ready for a long-term thing. Now, he's avoiding you. What gives? He's not mature enough to actually make a commitment if he comes on really strong at first, but then loses interest. That's a sign he's just in it for the thrill of the chase.

In the 1940s and 50s, five of their shows- Oklahoma!, Carousel, South Pacific, The King and I and The Sound of Music were mega hits. In February 1960, the CBC's Tony Thomas traveled to New York to interview both men separately. The result was the program you're about to hear, which aired on Project 60.

Sales Associate Interview
I applied online – interviewed at Old Navy.
I applied online, and a few days later one of the managers called to set up my interview, which turned into a brief phone interview. I wasn't expecting it at all, even though they were pretty typical questions. The standout question that made me laugh was "what makes you YOU?" because it was so out of the blue. They also asked about previous work experiences, something cool that I was involved in, and they typical why do we want to work at Old Navy?
A few days after that I went for an in-person interview, which turned out to be in a group. I thought it was going to be one-on-one so this confused me. We also had to bring an object that "represents us" (I brought in a travel book), as well as get to know the other candidates. We all had to pair up and find something that we had in common, which was nice but also strange. Then we had to run around the store and pick out an outfit that fit the current Old Navy look. The group interview ended with us folding a table. I'm not even joking.
Again, a few days later, I came in for a one-on-one with the store manager where he basically just walked me around the store and told me all the information that I already knew. I could ask questions, but at this point I knew I pretty much had the job. A day or two after that I got the official "we want you" call, where they told me my wage and when I could start training.
Overall, it was a nice and pretty painless interview process, but it was a little unorganized and the group thing threw me for a few seconds.

Sales Associate InterviewAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at Old Navy (Wheaton, IL) in May 2015.
I enjoyed the interview process at old navy very much. I applied through the Gap Inc. website and received a call within a few days. The woman on the phone asked me a few questions such as: Why do you want to work for Old Navy? How did you hear about the job? What makes you awesome? What was a time when you interacted with someone different than yourself? What is the best team you have ever been apart of? What was a time when you disagreed with someone and how did you resolve the conflict? What is your availability? And maybe a few others. We talked for 5 minutes so it was actually pretty quick but I was nervous so it felt a lot longer. After asking me questions she invited me to join in a group "audition" a few days later. She asked me to come dresses as if I was already working at Old Navy and to bring an item that represents me. When I got to the group interview there were 7 of us total standing awkwardly in the men's section of the store where not many customers go. After waiting a few minutes the asst. manager and another employee came out and greeted us. The first thing we did was find a partner, introduce ourselves and find three things in common. Then we shared the three things we had found. Next, they gave us a tour of the store. Once we were in the back room, the manager asked if we knew anything about Old Navy and then told us a little of the history. Next they both told us why they enjoy working at old navy and it seemed like they genuinely enjoy it. After that we presented the items we brought with us. Make sure the item you bring shows some good qualities you have that are easily applicable to the job and explain what those are. After that they told us to go around the store and put together an outfit and when we came back we explained why we put the items together, why we like it, where it could be worn, etc. Nothing complicated, just pick a cute outfit that you genuinely like. The last thing we did was ask questions of the employee without the manager there. It was a good opportunity to ask questions without feeling stupid in front of the manager. About a week later I received a call from a different manager asking me to come in for the second part of the interview. To me, it seemed like the third part of a long process but they can call it whatever they want. I went in for a typical one on one interview with a manager where she asked a few questions like: What did you learn from the group audition? Did you learn anything about the company? What made you want to apply to old navy? Why do you think old navy would be a good fit for you? What was a time you went above and beyond without being asked to? What activities are you involved in (I had no previous job experience, or she probably would have asked about that) What 3 things do you hope to gain by working here? What would someone who knows you well say about you? What can your future boss do to motivate you? What kind of people do you like? There were probably a few more that I am forgetting. Then we talked about my availability again and she informed me that all employees are expected to work at least some part of all the major holidays and days like Black Friday. Then she offered me the job! Yay! I had a great experience and I am so excited to start working.

I applied online. The process took 4 days – interviewed at Old Navy.
It was supposed to be a "group interview" of two, the other person not showing up. I got to the store and was sent to the manager's office where we were introduced and then led out to the store. I was asked to bring in something I was passionate about and we just discussed that and then asked the act out an employee-customer situation where I would have to help a costumer choose an outfit, simple.

I applied online. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Old Navy (Greensboro, NC) in April 2015.
I applied online and got a call back several months later. Honestly, I had forgot I had even applied there. The manager was really nice. My interview was only with one other person because someone didn't show up. However, the manager had a lot of interviews that she was doing. She asked some questions then made us go pick out an outfit for someone. For example she made me pick out an outfit for my mom. We then had to show her and another lady the outfit. The other lady was not very friendly. Afterwords the manager said she would call us in two weeks to let us know whether we got the job or not. After about a week I got a call wanting me to do an interview. When I said I had already been to one she apologized and said she meant to call someone else. She said she would call me back the next week with an answer. She never called back.

Experimental vessel meets service's vision of a new class of bold ships
"Arthur K. Cebrowski, 1942-2005 "
Editor's Note: This story was corrected at 4:40 p.m. Feb. 15, 2006. The previous version's headline, "Navy shows off light, fast Stiletto," was incorrect.
The Defense Department's Office of Force Transformation has unveiled a high-speed, lightweight ship that adheres to a vision articulated a year ago by Vice Adm. Arthur Cebrowski, the pioneering leader of the office who died in November 2005.
In his final public speech, Cebrowski told AFCEA International and the U.S. Naval Institute in February 2005 that the Navy should build a fleet of fast ships and unmanned vehicles that rely on advanced networked systems. He said the cost of such relatively small vessels would be low enough that hundreds of them could be built for the price of one conventional aircraft carrier.
"This is the age of the small, the fast and the many," Cebrowski said. "We should get with it."
The Stiletto achieves much of Cebrowski's vision, said Cmdr. Gregory Glaros, the office's program manager for the ship. The Navy displayed the Stiletto to attendees of the West 2006 conference co-sponsored by AFCEA and the Naval Institute in January.
The Stiletto's M-shaped design converts wave energy to lift the hull out of the water and help the ship attain a speed of at least 50 knots. It derives its networking power from rackmount computers that run on high-speed Intel processors, Glaros said. M Ship Co. of San Diego developed the Stiletto.
Even the cost of the 80-foot-long, 40-foot-wide vessel meets Cebrowski's vision, Glaros said. The Navy spent about $6 million for the ship and another $6 million for systems and testing, a small sum when compared to multibillion-dollar aircraft carriers.
The Stiletto's network, which Glaros referred to as the ship's electronic keel, allows for quick installation of a variety of programs through commercial data connections, said Kevin Poe, a program manager at Azimuth Systems, which developed the ship's computer and network systems.
Poe said the Stiletto's rackmount computer system can accommodate as many as 12 computers running 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium 4 processors. That setup provides the ship's system with power that Glaros said rivals supercomputing speed.
The Stiletto's Craft Integrated Electronic Suite melds a variety of functions handled by disparate systems and networks on conventional ships, Poe said. Those functions include radar, navigation and charting systems, crew intercoms, and satellite systems.
The network is designed to accommodate changes, Poe said. For example, the Stiletto uses a commercial Global Positioning System receiver, but he said a secure military receiver could replace it.
The systems display all the complex information the three-man Stiletto crew needs to run the vessel and perform its mission, Poe said.
During upcoming exercises, the Stiletto will support the Naval Special Clearance Team 1, which performs mine-clearance operations in harbors and on beaches as part of the Navy's Special Operations Command, Glaros said.
Chief Quartermaster Scott Keogh said the team plans to carry sensor systems, including inexpensive and lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), on the Stiletto to scan for mines and other obstacles.
The UAVs can send visible and infrared imagery to the ship's networked systems from as far away as 20 miles, Keogh said. Onboard software will help the team and crew identify mines and other hazards, and the team can launch a high-speed boat from the Stiletto to complete its mission.
Glaros said the flexibility of the Stiletto's plug-and-play network means users can easily configure it to support other teams and missions. The ship's power comes from its network capabilities, just as Cebrowski had envisioned, Glaros said.
"We don't need to build expensive capital ships," Glaros said. "We just build capital potential into networked hulls."

Vancouver on the Cheap: Free Warhol Exhibit
|If you were to create a Venn diagram where one circle was labeled "cheap" and the other labeled "awesome", the middle point where they cross over could be labeled "Vancouver on the Cheap". In other words, this is a weekly series on things to do and places to go in Vancouver that fall into that magical category of being both cheap and awesome.
Got a cheap-living tip you'd like to share? Send it in here or tweet it to @andreaxuaxua (#cheapthing)!
This month you have free access to something never before seen in our city: 80 original Andy Warhol paintings, all in one place. This exhibit focuses mainly on Warhol's celebrity portraits – everyone from Marilyn Monroe to Wayne Gretzky to Truman Capote – and it is interesting to note that perhaps his personal fame was directly tied to his obsession with celebrity culture (just a little art interpretation to get you started). Regardless of your insights into Warhol's fame, right in the heart of Yaletown, you can walk in for free and check out a good portion of his work at Warhol Vancouver. And if the free admission has you feeling flush, you can always buy a painting to take home with you! (Be warned: this will not be cheap.)

Brokers, don't even think about franchising. Buying into a top heavy franchise requiring a major upfront investment, costly facilities, stifling month-to-month overhead, over-whelming management responsibilities and reliance on others to grow your business, income and wealth, especially at the "Top" or high-end of the market, is a risky proposition. It is for these reasons that hundreds of franchisees drop their franchise affiliation with all the majors every year. Instead, consider The Top Job in Real Estateand work with broker/mentor Al Lewis under a regional program licensee agreement to go straight to the top and stay there. You'll always be glad you took action on this.

Josh Hansen and Lucy Parsonson may know how to speak French but they want to understand France.
Early next month the North Shore pair and 11 other French-speaking students are going there to commemorate our countries' shared wartime experience.
While on the Young Ambassadors Tour, Hansen from Westlake Boys High School, and Parsonson from Birkenhead College, will research soldiers who fought there.
On August 3, 1914, Germany declared war on France. The next day New Zealand joined England and the rest of the British Empire helping to defend France.
By war's end thousands of our soldiers had fought and died alongside French troops on the Western Front.
The year 13 students, who've raised thousands of dollars to travel, will visit battlefields where New Zealanders fell, such as the town of Le Quesnoy. Parsonson is researching her great-grandfather's experiences as well as a Beach Haven man's relative.
Meanwhile, Hansen is working more broadly.
"We all got asked to create our own projects. I'm looking at the evolution of recognition of the war," he says.
Sharing a Parisian Bastille Day experience with the other students is going to be "very cool", Parsonson says.
They will watch France's national day parade from the Champs Elysees and meet New Zealand's French ambassador and France's minister of education.
Parsonson's French language teacher at Birkenhead College, Aaron Nolan, says France's wartime experience seared itself into the nation's cultural memory and people need to understand that.
"This ties into the very large cultural diplomacy programme the French embassy runs," Nolan says.
France's ambassador to New Zealand is sponsoring the students' two-week journey through Belgium and France.
The trip is about "creating lasting relationships between youth in both countries and we will help spread that back home in our schools", Hansen says.

Jami Masjid, Delhi
43 Reviews
43 Reviews
There is a broad flights of steps which lead up to the impressive gateways in the north and the south. In the heat of the day, this seems to be a popular place to sleep or at least rest. Ustad Khalil was the architect of the mosque. He was a great sculpture during his time.
The name Masjid-i-Jahan Numa means "The mosque commanding a view of the world". That might have almost been the case even back then being elevated high above the surrounding bustling congested streets.
The design of Jama Masjid is very similar to the smaller and less imposing Moti Masjid in Agra and faces the west.
Soaring 40 metre high minarets can be seen from afar standing at each end of the façade of the mosque. There are 130 steps winding their way up the inside. Like the large roof domes, the smaller domes on the minarets also have stripes on the outside.
At the back of the mosque there are also four small minarets with crowns like the bigger ones.
Three large bulbous white domes act as a cover over the mosque and these are decorated with thin vertical black stripes with a gold covering on the very top. Under these domes is a hall with seven arched entrances. These entrances face the west. Beyond these entrances are the prayer
Jama Masjid - One of the Architectural gift given by Shah Jahan, Jama Masjid is one of the largest mosques not only in Delhi but in India. Completed in 1658 this Mosque has three gateways, Four angle towers and two 40 m high minarets. You can enter the mosque but take precaution to take off your shoes and make sure that you are properly dressed before entering. One can also go to the top of minarets. From here you can have a birds eye view of Delhi.
Entrans Free Camera Rs 150
The Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India holding up to 25.000 persons. Built around 1650 there are two minarets and three large bulbous domes. When we were walking around the mosque it was prayer time so we weren't allowed in by the numerous police and army presence at the gates. Very close to Chandni Chowk bazaar and the Red Fort the nearest metro is Chawri market.
Entrance is free, even for non-Muslims but photography costs 200 INR.
The Masjid-i-Jahan Numa, commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the principal mosque of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, and completed in the year 1656 AD, it is one of the largest and best-known mosques in India. It is also at the beginning of a very busy and popular street/center in Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk.
Masjid-i-Jahan Numa means "the mosque commanding a view of the world", and the name Jama Masjid is a reference to the weekly congregation observed on Friday (the yaum al-jum`a) at the mosque. The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshippers. The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including a copy of the Qur'an written on deer skin.
The courtyard of the mosque can be reached from the east, north and south by three flights of steps, all built of red sandstone. The northern gate of the mosque has 39 steps. The southern side of the mosque has 33 steps. The eastern gate of the mosque was the royal entrance and it has 35 steps. These steps used to house food stalls, shops and street entertainers. In the evening, the eastern side of the mosque used to be converted into a bazaar for poultry and birds in general. Prior to the 1857 War of Indian Independence, there was a madrassah near the southern side of the mosque, which was pulled down after the mutiny.
The mosque faces west. Its three sides are covered with open arched colonnades, each having a lofty tower-like gateway in the centre. The mosque is about 261 feet (80 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide, and its roof is covered with three domes with alternate stripes of black and white marble, with its topmost parts covered with gold. Two lofty minarets, 130 feet (41 m) high, and containing 130 steps, longitudinally striped with white marble and red sandstone, flank the domes on either side. The minarets are divided by three projecting galleries and are surmounted by open twelve-sided domed pavilions. On the back of the mosque, there are four small minarets crowned like those in the front.
nder the domes of the mosque, is a hall with seven arched entrances facing the west and the walls of the mosque, up to the height of the waist, are covered with marble. Beyond this is a prayer hall, which is about 61 meters X 27.5 meters, with eleven arched entrances, of which the centre arch is wide and lofty, and in the form of a massive gateway, with slim minarets in each corner, with the usual octagonal pavilion surmounting it. Over these arched entrances there are tablets of white marble, four feet (1.2 m) long and 2.5 feet (760 mm) wide, inlaid with inscriptions in black marble. These inscriptions give the history of the building of the mosque, and glorify the reign and virtues of Shah Jahan. The slab over the centre arch contains simply the words "The Guide!"
The mosque stands on a platform of about five feet (1.5 m) from the pavement of the terrace, and three flight of steps lead to the interior of the mosque from the east, north, and the south. The floor of the mosque is covered with white and black marble ornamented to imitate the Muslim prayer mat; a thin black marble border is marked for the worshippers, which is three feet long and 1 ½ feet wide. In total there are 899 such spaces marked in the floor of the mosque. The back of the mosque is cased over to the height of the rock on which the mosque stands with large hewn stones.
This mosque was constructed by Shah Jahan and is one of the largest mosques in the country. It has 4 towers and two 40m monuments which give a great view of the city. Dress conservatively with covered shoulders and knees. Sarongs can be hired for 50 rupees if you forget. Leave your shoes at the entrance for 10 rupees or carry them with you. Entrance is free but a camera charge of 200 rupees is applicable. Non Muslims can enter the mosque from 8am until 30 mins before sunset. There is an extra small charge for going up the tower of the mosque.
The Jama Masjid is a magnificent mosque, situated in the heart of Old Delhi. It is supposed to be the biggest mosque in India offering an incredible architecture of a mix of red sandstone and white marble. You can climb up a minarett to have a beautiful, maybe the best 360-degrees view over Old Delhi!
The Jama Masjid (also called the Masjid-I-Jahanuma or the 'mosque commanding view of the world') of Delhi, built by the Mughal emperor and architectural genius Shah Jahan in 1656 in his walled capital of Shahjahanabad, is the largest and most well known mosque in India. The design of the mosque is similar to many other mosques built by Shah Jahan but the beauty of it lies in the hugeness of the structure and at the same time the alternating stripes of red sandstone and white marble, makes it exceptionally beautiful and architecturally, a thing of wonder. The courtyard is built of red sandstone and there are three different set of stairs in three directions by which you can reach it. The complex outside the main mosque houses thoudands of temporary stalls selling articles starting from toys to blankets during the day time and quite impliedly the area is quite crowded. Inside the mosque, there are certain things to watch, like the Quran written on deer skin, a red beard-hair of Prophet Mohammad, his sandals and his footprint in a marble slab. The mosque was designed by Mughal architect Ostad Khalil and costed a very high amount of Rs. 10 crores, a huge figure for the 17th century. People of all religions are allowed to enter the mosque except during the prayer times and must take off shoes before entering.
The Jama Masjid (or to give it its proper name, the Masjid-i-Jahan Numa meaning "the mosque commanding a view of the world"), is Old Delhi's main mosque. It was built between 1644 and 1656 for Emperor Shah Jahan of Taj Mahal fame and is one of India's largest. The mosque is about 261 feet (80 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide, and its roof is covered with three domes with alternate stripes of black and white marble, with its topmost parts covered with gold. Two minarets, 130 feet (40 m) high and containing 130 steps, flank the domes on either side.
For me, the mosque was my first tourist sight on my 4-month tour around India so it was particularly interesting. My rickshaw driver dropped me off at the southern entrance and I entered through a security bag check and climbed up the large, wide set of steps and entered into the large courtyard through a gatehouse where I was asked by a chap sitting on a chair for a Rs200 entrance fee which I paid not knowing any better till later when I realised that its actually free to enter. So please bear this in mind. I got conned visiting my first Indian tourist sight! After taking a few photo's, I sat on the edge of the courtyard to take it all in and watch the general goings on before climbing up the left minaret.
We took a rickshaw for the crowded way leading to Jama Masjid. All the shops and people around and the Jama Masjid in front - nice sight.
We didn't paid an entrance fee. I don't know if this is the rule or they don't take entrance fee from muslims, because the guy at the front door asked us whether we want to pray or not.
Anyway, you will have to pay 150 Rs to make photos inside.
Shahjahan built this mosque in 1658. Situated near the red fort in old Delhi, Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India with a seating capacity of more than 20,000 people. This mosque with bulbous domes and tapering minarets those were built with marble and slate is an architectural beauty
This great mosque of Old Delhi is the largest in India, with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees. It was begun in 1644 and ended up being the final architectural extravagance of Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor who built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort.Shah Jahan built several important mosques in Delhi, Agra, Ajmer and Lahore. The Jama Masjid's floor plan is very similar to the Jama Masjid, Fatehpur Sikri near Agra, but the Jama Masjid in Delhi is the bigger and more imposing of the two. Its Badshahi Mosque of Lahore built by Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb in 1673 is closely related to the Jama Masjid at Raipur
The highly decorative mosque has three great gates, four towers and two 40 m-high minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone and The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including an antique copy of the Qur'an written on deer skin
