Asian Legal Business — A Question of Trust - .PDF file.
he Asia-Pacific region is home to the highest number of millionaires in the world, with an estimated 2.6 million high networth individuals holding assets worth $10.6 trillion. But assets under management by bank wealth services in the region flattened in 2011, according to a Private Banker survey released in October 2012, dropping to $1.099 trillion from $1.105 trillion. This shrank a pool of funds being fought over by discreet Swiss advisers and heavyweight U.S. and European banks as well as regional banks such as Singapore's DBS and Hong Kong's Hang Seng Bank.
A key reason for the drop was that the wealthiest wanted more than just asset allocation and a tick box of plans, offshore law firms say. There are legacy considerations, including charitable foundations, and a personal view of families and business that takes time to get coaxed out of clients considering how inter-generational wealth should be transferred.
Private trusts are a key way to get those results, offshore firms interviewed by Asian Legal Business said, describing a variety of available tools that are being tapped by the growing number of wealthy in Asia, from cash-rich market investors, family-owned businesses that want to redeploy tied up capital to inherited and real estate derived fortunes that need to be adjusted with the changing times…

In 1935, from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, 22-year-old Clark Byers began painting "Visit Rock City" on barns along U. S. Highways.
When Byers retired in 1968, he had some nine hundred barns in nineteen states to his credit. There are now fewer than one hundred remaining.
The property owner was usually compensated with free passes to Rock City, and a sack full of promotional items such as a thermometer. Those not needing a thermometer were paid $3.00.
The highway beautification act in the mid 1960s, or the Ladybird Act as it was nicknamed, required many of the Rock City messages painted on barns to be removed. Byers was nearly electrocuted in 1968 during a thunderstorm while painting over a barn message. Afterward, he retired from barn painting to work his farm in Falling Water, Georgia where he died in 2004.

This is for the fragrance "A is for ALDO" (blue). It is different - strong and confident. Different from the classic feminine scent, but still very vibrant and young. For .3 ounces this costs $15 - one ounce of Ralph Lauren Polo is $40 so technically A is for Aldo for one ounce would be $45. You would expect RL to be more expensive but that is not the case. Even so this product is nice. It isn't common like J'Adore or the other mainstream biggies. It's nice to be different

Stocks held most of their gains in late trading Tuesday, with the Dow Jones industrial average and the S&P 500 at new record highs amid generally positive earnings reports.
The Dow was up 0.5%, the S&P 500 0.4% and the Nasdaq rose a fraction. Volume was running 14% higher on the Nasdaq and 6% higher on the NYSE compared with the same time Monday.
In the stock market today, MercadoLibre (MELI) was a big winner, soaring 18% to a new high in massive volume after a mixed first-quarter earnings report. The Latin American e-commerce website is extended after a rebound from its 10-week moving average.
Nationstar Mortgage (NSM) gapped up and rose 6% in triple-paced trade after reporting that its Q1 profit rose 52% from a year earlier to 85 cents a share, easily beating expectations. Sales jumped 163%, the fourth straight quarter of triple-digit gains.
Packaging Corp. of America (PKG) climbed 2% to a new high in fast trade. It's extended from a follow-on buy area after rebounding off its 10-week moving average.
The stock boasts a best-possible Composite Rating of 99, tops in the highly rated Paper & Paper Product industry group.
On the downside, Generac (GNRC) fell 4% in torrid volume after the maker of portable generators priced a secondary offering of 9 million shares at 37.17 per share, a 3% discount to Monday's closing price of 38.17.
The stock has been working on a cup-type base, but most of it has formed below the 10-week line, a sign of weakness.
Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) fell 2% from Monday's record high. Turnover is brisk but far lower than the 163% volume surge seen Monday, as Qihoo broke out. The Chinese security-software Web portal and search engine is 5% past a 35 buy point in a cup base, putting it at the upper end of a buy range.
The company said Tuesday it will announce first-quarter earnings May 20 before the market opens. Wall Street analysts expect profit to fall 32% from the year-earlier period to 14 cents a share. Revenue is expected to rise 53% to $106.3 million.

Hi there...pain in the posterior aspect of thighs as you are describing could be due to number of reasons like sciatica, muscle strain, meralgia parasthetica, any nerve injuries. Also sensations and movements in those areas will also have to checked. So kindly consult a neurologist or an orthopedic for further evaluation. Till then it is best to take rest and do not over strain the muscles. You can take a painkiller if the pain is severe and you don't have any gastritis or drug allergies

Small dark bug - Lygaeidae
Observed: 13th November 2011 By: Dluogs
Added: 19th November 2011
Small black bug sheltering on a White Dead-nettle. Sorry about the poor photos - not much light.
Small dark bug - ID notes
19 November 2011 - 4:11pm Dluogs
Probably Lygaeidae - because some Lygaeidae have thicker front femur.
Miridae, Saldidae and others usually have thicker hind femur or equal.
Looking at dark Lygaeidae about the right shape on the British Bugs website:
Not Megalonotus - last antennae segment too short on my bug
Not Stygnocoris rusticus - antennae OK but end of wing cases gently curved
Stygnocoris fuligineus & S. sabulosus too small
Plinthisus brevipennis - pronotum wrong shape
Possibly Drymus -
Length 4-5mm
Heavy front femur
Antennae segments with second slightly longer
Pronotum with slight transverse grooves in the middle
Probably not brown enough for D. brunneus
The light patch in the apex of the triangle behind the place where the wing cases meet looks like D. ryei
D. sylvaticus often has browner wing cases
However, I think it unlikely these photos are good enough to take it to species level. I'm hopeful of having Drymus confirmed but I haven't been able to compare it with species not yet illustrated by British Bugs.

About the Owner
About Steve Tobbell
We are a working family and resident in the UK. We all love to travel to interesting worldwide locations but always see Turkey as our preferred holiday destination. We enjoyed family holidays in many Turkish resorts where we have met many people who have become lifelong friends. While on holiday in Kalkan in 2014 we decided that we loved it that much we decided to buy a property which we could enjoy with our family & friends.
Steve Tobbell purchased this apartment in 2014
Why Steve Tobbell chose Lycian & Turquoise Coast
We had holidays in Kalkan previously and decided it was the place for us, the resort has a laid back atmosphere and has a mature feel mixed with modern outlook. There never seems to be too many people in the resort or surrounding areas which makes it perfect for us to relax and just forget about the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
What makes this apartment unique
Azure is situated in Kalamar Bay which is approximately 20 minutes walk from the centre of Kalkan. Kalamar Bay is quiet as indeed is the Azure apartment which is situated on Meltem Boutique Apartment complex.

Fabulous apartment in amazing locatiom
I found Azure apartment to be a perfect location, with the best panoramic views I could of wished for, the apartment itself had everything I could of needed and was spotless and tastefully decorated. Azure is located within a beautiful private complex with communal areas and a beautiful swimming pool set over 3 levels.
I found the owners discription of the property and surrounding areas to be detailed and extremely helpful, I received updated information from the owner as my holiday date approached, as assured my transport was arranged for me and waiting when I arrived and also prompt for my return trip.
Azure is close by bars, restaurants the beach (amazing scenery) and only 20 minutes walk from the town centre, a taxi would only cost £3 and can be called from apartment on the free phone in the communal area. I found the town to have a huge variety of bars, shops, many restaurants including roof top dining, boat rides, weekly market and much more.
There Is so much to see and do, a holiday here can meet the needs of any person, it can be as quiet or as entertaining as the individual makes it.
I met some lovely friendly people and found the locals to be extremely helpful and cheerful.
I have already recommended Azure and Kalkan to my friends and family and I am already planning return visit.
Beautiful locataion for a perfect stay in Kalkan!
We had a great time at the apartment - with everything as described! And the communication with the owner was also perfect and very friendly - we absolutely recommend this apartment for a great stay in Kalkan!
Peaceful solitude in the sun
This was our first visit to Turkey and we were not sure what to expect, we were not disappointed In either the country or this particular apartment.
Kalkan is a real find, it has the great restaurants and bars and the people are very warm and friendly, the views are spectacular and the whole area is surprisingly inexpensive.
Azure Apartment is just perfect, it was spotlessly clean and it has all that you need, there was nothing better than to sit out on the balcony with a glass of wine watching the sun go down, and the roof terrace was also perfect. the swimming pools are some of the best that I have seen for what is a small complex, on many occasions we had them both to ourselves.
In conclusion If you are looking for a quiet holiday in a stunning location then the Azure apartment at Kalcan is for you.

Stunning Views and a Great location
My husband and myself stayed at this apartment for 10 days in June. It is a perfect secure base with a just a short walk into town but also has everything you need to enjoy days and nights in. The apartment is nicely furnished and brightly decorated so does not feel cramped. The kitchen had plenty of appliances, the bedrooms are comfortable with ample wardrobe and drawer space. The balcony areas were spacious and ideal for enjoying both the morning and afternoon sun.The pool and surrounding area was very clean, well maintained and so peaceful. There is a beautiful beach area just a short walk down the bank. Overall we had a brilliant time here and will definitely be returning.
Upmarket and great views, 100% recommended
Myself and my partner stayed here for one week in the height of the holiday season (July) and were blown away. The views over the Mediterranean are second to none and just what you would expect to wake up to on a morning in your dream location. The apartment is fully furnished with everything we needed and the decor is truly authentic. We found it easy to navigate and the hill to take you up to town is welcome exercise but also found taxis easy when using the Meltem Apartment free phone in B Block.
We did a few trips (jeep safari and day at Kaputas beach) and enjoyed some days around the relaxing and quiet pool at Meltem apartments.
I will definitely be going back to this apartment and hope to visit more of the beautiful restaurants and bars with the fresh cuisine and breathtaking views.
Thank you to the Tobbell family for making our stay so easy and enjoyable :)

Swimming pool is big enough to have a really good swim with a fantastic view . We had a very good meal fresh excellent produce every meal not over played with ,the service was just perfect with a charming smile the photos do not do it justice
Beautiful, peaceful location but with easy access to major routes. Family run hotel with friendly helpful staff. Excellent room and bathroom. Rather expensive overall and no obvious reception - perhaps because they are still renovating after a fire. We were not affected by the renovations.
High-class countryside hotel/farmhouse with all facilities. Very friendly staff. Excellent dinner and good breakfast. Quiet location.
The location is charming, in a rural setting. The room and bathroom were excellent in any respect. Comfort parking. Breakfast was basic and overcharged.
The room was magnificent
Quiet, beautiful gardens, private sitting area no hospitality tray provided
Excellent food in the restaurant with the hotel in a quiet and peaceful location - exactly what we wanted ! We were fortunate to be ungraded to a suite which was delightful. We would recommend La Cardinale without hesitation.
although it seems like a former formule1 it was much cleanier and brighter the direction for this hotel could be misleading as the hotel is situated on the village outskirts unfortunatly we did not approach from that direction the satnav took us to centre ville there were no signs as expected from other chains
Very clean, stylish hotel - a little on the minimalistic side. Room rather hot.
Ligging in het oude dorp Mirmande, dat is geklassificeerd als een van de mooiste dorpen in Frankrijk. Prima restaurant naast het hotel.
rustic and rural setting. Back to basics. Received a friendly reception and make very welcome. No bar / eating facility. Used the restaurant nearby
The hotel decor was tasteful, minimalist and very definitely for those that are looking for peace and tranquility. The room was excellent, the bed comfortable and the bathroom luxurious. Breakfast was simple but all very fresh.
excellent hotel
Lovely location in an old building with character, in a charming 'village perche'. Very efficient staff who found us a room even though our internet booking had been lost. Good breakfast None with the hotel. Our Internet booking appeard to have not got through but this was not a problem as their was a room available.
Very kind and helpfull staff - special thanks for help in reservation of tables in very nice restaurants. Nice, quiet, clean and warm rooms in a charming old village. No wardrobe in the room.This was ok for two nights but could be inconvenient if you stayed longer.
Very peaceful and lovely views - wonderful to have a room that is not a box on top of a box! Would go again.
Good atmosphere. Lovely views. Charming village.
On our way to the cote d'azur is was a marvelous location to relax .It is a very quiet village and very romantic. The dinner in the garden was very cosy.The view from the room was really marvelous. .
Breakfast was OK. We were not charged for booking out early. Hotel was shut until 3pm when we arrived despite the confirmation stating we could check in at 1pm. No apology offered.Room was very small and bathroom was so small you could barely stand up. Bed uncomfortable, TV not working on many channels, restaurant menu sounded nice but was badly delivered. We checked out a day early.
Very comfortable, nice ambience, very quiet and felt welcome.The food was excellent.
Charming village location excellent friendly staff Bathroom could have been a little better
Beautiful location but still convenient for autoroute Restaurant not open on Monday evenings !!
Quite hard to find especially in the dark website said it was only 5 mins from motorway but it was much further than that Very pretty on arrival restaurant was busy which is always a good sign When we arrived we were told our room had been upgraded but what they did not tell us was a lampost outside our bedroom window was on all night and we had muslin for curtains pretty but useless.

The Department of Environmental Protections announced Thursday that it won't fund Rainbow, Silver, Ichetucknee and Wakulla springs for the 2011-12 fiscal year.
The Florida Department of Environmental Protection announced Thursday that it will not fund springs restoration working groups for the Rainbow, Silver, Ichetucknee and Wakulla springs during the 2011-12 fiscal year.
The working groups were established so local residents could play a part in designing restoration goals and standards for the water bodies and making recommendations to FDEP. The working groups, made up mostly of local volunteers, would have given area communities some say as to how the rivers and springs should be used. The projects were slated for three years. They have been under way for one year.
The Rainbow River has suffered a more than 20-fold increase in nitrate levels during the past 40 years, according to a recent Southwest Florida Water Management District report. The nutrient causes algae to grow uncontrollably, changing the chemistry, wildlife and vegetation in and around the water.
The Rainbow Spring is a first-magnitude spring, pumping out nearly 500 million gallons of water per day. It is one of 33 first-magnitude spring systems in Florida.
The Silver River isn't any better off when it comes to pollution. Unwanted nitrate and nitrogen levels in the spring are 25 times higher than they were during the early 1900s. The Rainbow and Silver river restoration groups, made up of about 80 volunteers, have been meeting for the past year during the workshops in collaboration with Gainesville-based Normandeau Associates, formally Pandion.
The company was being paid $67,500 annually by FDEP for its work on each of the Rainbow and Silver rivers. The Wakulla and Ichetucknee working groups were overseen by other firms.
"We were obviously saddened," said Normandeau spokesman and working group organizer Pete Colverson. "But given all the upheaval in the state budgeting … I'm not certain I was at all surprised."
The FDEP blamed budget cuts.
"Due to reductions in the state budget brought on by hard economic times, springs initiative funding was not allocated by the legislature for fiscal year 2011/2012," according to a letter from FDEP.
FDEP said it will continue its efforts toward restoring the water bodies through its Watershed Restoration Program, adding it will incorporate the information and recommendations collected thus far from its working groups.
The FDEP said in its letter that part of its current plan is to develop maximum daily loads of the pollutants allowable in the rivers.
But Colverson said the Silver and Rainbow springs working groups were doing more than simply addressing what the acceptable maximum loads of pollutants should be set.
The springs working groups were addressing issues such as the changing flow levels of the Silver and Rainbow rivers, intended recreational goals of the two springs, and issues of fish species and populations along the Silver River, Colverson said.
Meanwhile, Colverson said he was trying to finish his working group's draft recommendations and will send them to FDEP.
Another problem is that even if funding were restored next year or the following year, it would be difficult, if not nearly impossible, to reassemble the participants who have worked on the project to date, Colverson said.
Colverson said he will begin looking for other potential funding sources, including private ones.
Colverson said the project employed one person in Gainesville to assist Normandeau, and that person would likely not keep the job now that funding is gone.
As for what the cuts would mean for Normandeau and its 20 employees, Colverson said the company was not planning any layoffs as a result of the funding change.
"But when you lose a fairly large contract, it does have an impact," he said.

"Hall Pass" on track to win weekend box office
By Pamela McClintock
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - The Farrelly brothers' R-rated comedy "Hall Pass" is on track to win the weekend box office race, while Paramount's Insurge Pictures releases an updated version of "Justin Bieber: Never Say Never" in a maverick move designed to encourage repeat viewing.
"Justin Bieber: Never Say Never Director's Fan Cut," boasting 40 minutes of new footage, will only play in 3D theaters. Movie's gross ticket sales are a healthy $52.9 million as it heads into its third weekend in U.S. and Canadian theaters. The original version will continue to play in regular theaters.
Box office tracking figures show "Hall Pass," starring Owen Wilson and Jason Sudeikis, opening in the mid- to high-teens, a solid start for the siblings. Warner Bros. debuts the New Line film in 2,950 theaters.
There's less interest in Nicolas Cage's supernatural action picture "Drive Angry 3D."
Summit Entertainment is releasing "Drive Angry" in the U.S. for Avi Lerner's Nu Image/Millennium Films. The film goes out in 2,061 locations in the U.S., of which 2012 are 3D runs.
Both "Hall Pass" and "Drive Angry" should draw a heavily male audience, although "Hall Pass" is showing some traction among younger females.
"Hall Pass" also starring Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate and Richard Jenkins is the Farrellys' first movie since "The Heartbreak Kid" in 2007 and tells the story of two men whose wives give them permission to go on vacation from their marriage for one week.
Also starring Amber Heard, "Drive Angry" stars Cage as a man who breaks out of hell to prevent the cult that murdered his daughter from sacrificing his infant granddaughter. Continued...

A Home-Grown Spam Filter
Even if you do not have a mail server of your own, SpamAssassin can help you filter out unsolicited junk mail. This article describes how SpamAssassin collaborates with Evolution and KMail. Thunderbird, on the other hand, has its own simple spam-detection feature.
Spammers invent more perfidious tricks every day to confuse spam detection software. For example, they modify the text and subject line to leave just a minimum of legible information. They also add punctuation between the individual letters within a word to prevent simple tests for text strings: for example, V.a.l.i.u.m is not the same as Valium. SpamAssassin gives you the weapons you need to fight spam. SpamAssassin checks for gappy brand names and detects a whole range of suspicious products. Spammers who use tricks to slip brand names into your inbox are actually shooting themselves in the foot, because brand names of the types typically used by spammers are unlikely to occur in normal email messages.

Most universities have announced their fees for 2012, and it hasn't worked out quite the way the government planned it: last December the coalition was anticipating blithely that the majority of institutions would charge £6,000, and only in "exceptional circumstances" would the full £9,000 be levied. All their calculations were based on average fees of £7,500. The University and College Union then said this was a bit optimistic, since even at conservative estimates most courses needed £7,000 to break even.
Unfortunately there was so much going on: students were kicking in windows and burning effigies of Nick Clegg. All the talk was of equality and social mobility and higher education as a social good. We were all too busy for actual maths. Now that the maths is in, and the average fees will be £8,678, this will leave the government with a shortfall (or, in their language, irresponsible deficit) of £450m by 2014. This, by the way, is based on the estimate that 30% of students will default on their loans, which is also a bit optimistic.
The university system was not suited to the clean, simple lines of an unfettered marketplace. There are numerous practical problems. First, that UCU estimate of £7k as a bare minimum was based on courses with no clinical requirement. More expensive courses can cost £15,000 – so given the cap, institutions have a choice between not providing expensive courses or cross-subsidising them with cheaper ones. It would be institutional suicide to charge the lowest fees you possibly could.
There's also the looming impact of Theresa May's promised 80,000 reduction in non-EU foreign students, who have always cross-subsidised UK undergraduates. So even if, as an institution, you were managing right now to educate students for less than £9,000, you couldn't bank on that continuing.
Furthermore, the expectation was that Million+ universities (newer institutions, many of which used to be polys) would charge the least, while the Russell group would charge most. But this ignores the financial history of these institutions. Established universities have property portfolios, research grants, endowments – capital to keep them afloat before they start milking students. The same is not true of newer universities, where students are the beginning and end of the funding stream.
There seems to have been an expectation of meekness from universities, where the newer ones, with very few students from Eton and with almost no celebrated drinking clubs, would charge less, mindful of their low status. Instead vice-chancellors have put their self-esteem aside and calculated how much they need to charge if they are to thrive.
Beyond these practical considerations there is the obvious problem that market forces work OK when they evolve, and they work lopsidedly – if at all – when they are introduced suddenly, especially to a field whose values are quite hard to monetise.
You can't run a university like a fruit and veg stall, trying to shave small percentages off teaching hours to be cheaper than the guy down the road. There is a lot riding on confidence and pride, and just as transparency in the FTSE 100 has forced bosses' salaries upwards as companies battle to create the impression of success, so transparency of fees has amounted to a race to the top. If you're not at the top, you declare yourself second rate, as the vice-chancellor of Teesside was the first openly to admit.
Vince Cable made the tetchy assertion this month that "the biggest mistake a university could make is to underestimate its consumers. Students will search for value for money and compare the offers of different universities." This is plainly incorrect: a bigger mistake would be for a university to underestimate itself, which everybody realised immediately – and sure enough, as students do compare offers, they all turn out to be roughly the same. It's weird that Cable, being business secretary, did not see that coming.
He also should have seen coming the dissonance between what the government is saying to universities – keep it lean, keep it competitive – and what they've been saying to students: this is toy money. Don't even think of it as money, think of it as a loan on such preferable terms that it would be a shame not to take it. They can't have it both ways. If students do think carefully about value for money, many of them will be forced out of higher education as they struggle to see a clear pay-off for a humanities degree. If they don't think about value for money, there is less incentive still for the universities to try to keep their prices down.
Even if some universities did turn out to be demonstrably bad value and were undercut by an emergent private sector, you would still be left with the fact that education is not a straightforward commodity. There is supply, there is demand, but the suppliers have demands of their own, and they choose you as much as you choose them.
It's another one of those coalition head-scratchers: is it possible that it didn't occur to them how unlikely it was that universities would shuffle neatly into a sliding scale, based on how much less good than Cambridge they thought they were? Or was it always the intention for the policy to be a disaster? Are we looking at some nefarious long game, in which access to education is rolled back to postwar levels, with no deliberate government measures, just a series of regrettable, unforeseen events?


text: Chapter 9 – Designing Classes Chapter Goals Discovering and learning to Design classes Preconditions and postconditions for methods In depth on static/class methods and fields 9.1 Choosing Classes Division of labor: Methods = functions Classes/objects = entities A class represents a single concept from the problem domain Name for a class should be a noun that describes concept Good classes Concepts from mathematics: Point Rectangle Ellipse Concepts from real life BankAccount CashRegister Good Classes Actors (end in -er, -or)–objects do some kinds of work for you Scanner Random // better name: RandomNumberGenerator Utility classes–no objects, only static methods and constants Math Degenerate case of a class: only main() method Bad Classes Don't turn actions into classes: Paycheck is better name than ComputePaycheck The name can tip you off when you are on wrong track Represented a PayCheck more useful than only designing a class that seems to computer a pay check OOP Class Diagram The name of the class appears at the top ClassName -private data +public data -private constructors +public constructors -private methods +public methods fields constructors and methods Practice Question class Die What are the operations needed to use the die? What data are needed to represent the concept of a die? class Die Die -numSides:int -currentValue:int +roll():void +getValue():int 9.2 Cohesion A class should represent a single concept The public interface of a class is cohesive if all of its features are related to the concept that the class represents methods and public constants/variables should all relate to the central idea of the class Cohesion This class lacks cohesion: public class CashRegister{ public void enterPayment(int dollars, int quarters, int dimes, int nickels, int pennies) . . . public static final double NICKEL_VALUE = 0.05; public static final double DIME_VALUE = 0.1; public static final double QUARTER_VALUE = 0.25; . . . } What is the problem with this lack of cohesion? More confusion Ties the role of a cash register to the value of the coins What if we wanted to sell this cash register to other countries? Solution CashRegister, as described above, involves two concepts: cash register and coin Solution: Make two classes: public class Coin{ public Coin(double aValue, String aName){ . . . } public double getValue(){ . . . } . . . } public class CashRegister{ public void enterPayment(int coinCount, Coin coinType) { . . . } . . . } Coupling A class depends on another if it uses objects of that class CashRegister Coin High Coupling = many class dependencies depends on Coin to determine the value of the payment does not depend on CashRegister Minimize coupling to minimize the impact of interface changes To visualize relationships draw class diagrams UML: Unified Modeling Language. Notation for object-oriented analysis and design 9.3 Immutable Classes Recall that accessor methods only retrieve information They do not change the state of the object Calling them multiple times in a row will yield same results Immutable Classes are classes that only have accessor methods Example: String Class Advantages Do not have to worry about the dangers of handing off references in methods 9.4 Side Effects Mutators are designed to change the internal data of the implicit parameter Side effect of a method: modifying externally observable data (explicit parameters) public void transfer(double amount, BankAccount other) { balance = balance - amount; other.balance = other.balance + amount; // Modifies explicit parameter } Updating explicit parameter can be surprising to programmers; it is best to avoid it if possible Other Side Effects Why don't we add a printBalance() method to BankAccount? public void printBalance() // Not recommended { System.out.println("The balance is now $" + balance); } Makes potentially dangerous assumptions The BankAccount class will only be used in English speaking country The machine using the program has a System.out association An instance of too much coupling How to minimize Side Effects? Never modify explicit parameters to a method Treat them as constants public void deposit(double amount) { amount = amount + balance; } Pass By Value Two ways to pass parameters Pass by reference – the memory location is sent, meaning that the data can be changed Pass by value – a copy of the memory location is created Java only uses pass by value Even objects are passed by value, since the reference is copied Won't work! public class BankAccount{ public void trasnfer(double amount, BankAccount other) { balance = balance – amount; double newBalance = other.balance + amount; other = new BankAccount(newBalance); } } 9.5 Preconditions Precondition: Requirement that the caller of a method must meet Publish preconditions so the caller won't call methods with bad parameters /** Deposits money into this account. @param amount the amount of money to deposit (Precondition: amount >= 0) */ Preconditions Typical use: To restrict the parameters of a method To require that a method is only called when the object is in an appropriate state If precondition is violated, method is not responsible for computing the correct result. It is free to do anything. Handling Violations Method does not have to behave correctly when preconditions are violated But what should be done? Assume data is correct. Only a corruption/crashes to happen at fault of user Throw an exception if a condition is violated. The control is shifted to an exception handler Runtime error messages are all exceptions Handling Violations Both have their disadvantages Exceptions slow down the program Doing nothing can be very dangerous Best of both worlds: assertions that can be turned on or off Method can do an assertion check assert amount >= 0; balance = balance + amount; To enable assertion checking: java -enableassertions MyProg You can turn assertions off after you have tested your program, so that it runs at maximum speed Common error Returning silently on error is hard to detect and debug if (amount < 0) return; // Not recommended; hard to debug balance = balance + amount; Postconditions Condition that is true after a method has completed. This is the designers duties (as opposed to preconditions being the users duty) If method call is in accordance with preconditions, it must ensure that postconditions are valid There are two kinds of postconditions: The return value is computed correctly The object is in a certain state after the method call is completed (mutators) /** Deposits money into this account. @param amount the amount of money to deposit (Precondition: amount >= 0) (Postcondition: getBalance() >= 0) */ Don't document trivial postconditions that repeat the @return clause Formulate pre- and postconditions only in terms of the interface of the class amount <= getBalance() // this is the way to state a postcondition amount <= balance // wrong postcondition formulation Contract Think of pre and postconditions as a contract If caller fulfills precondition, method must fulfill postcondition. Static Fields (Class Fields) Stores a field outside of any particular instance (object) Only one copy of a field that is shared by all instances of a class Minimize use of static for OO programs Static Methods (Class Methods) Can be invoked without creating an instance. Can only access explicit parameters, class fields, class methods and constructors. main method must be static Field Modifier choices For each field: 1. 2. 3. Choose identifier and data type. is it a constant? if so, add final modifier does it require a different value for each instance? 4. is it safe to be directly accessible to methods in other classes? 5. if not, add static modifier if so, public else private is the value known? if so, initialize to that value Method Modifier choices For each method: 1. 2. Choose identifier, return type, and parameters does it access any instance (non-static) fields or instance methods? 3. Must it be called from methods in other classes? 4. if not, add static modifier if so, must be public else make it private is it safe to be overridden? (chapter 13) if not, add final modifier Why make fields static? so that only one copy of the value is stored (all instances share the same copy) Why make methods static? so that the method is accessible without creating an instance Note: Can only do this if the method only requires explicit parameters or static fields. Why write a method that does not operate on an object? Common reason: encapsulate some computation that involves only numbers. Numbers aren't objects, you can't invoke methods on them. E.g., x.sqrt() can never be legal in Java public class Financial { public static double percentOf(double p, double a) { return (p / 100) * a; } // Other methods can be added } Call with class name instead of object: double tax = Financial.percentOf(taxRate, total); main is static–there aren't any objects yet public class Financial { public static double percentOf(double p, double a) { return (p / 100) * a; } public static void main(String[] args) { double percent = percentOf(20.0,10.0); System.out.println(percent+" is 20% of 10"); } } Static Fields Three ways to initialize: Do nothing. Field is with 0 (for numbers), false (for boolean values), or null (for objects) Use an explicit initializer BankAccount { . . . private static int lastAssignedNumber = 1000; // Executed once, when class is loaded } Use a static initialization block in a method Scope Of Local Variables Scope of variable: Region of program in which the variable can be accessed Scope of a local variable extends from its declaration to end of the block that encloses it Sometimes the same variable name is used in two methods: public class RectangleTester { public static double area(Rectangle rect) { double r = rect.getWidth() * rect.getHeight(); return r; } public static void main(String[] args) { Rectangle r = new Rectangle(5, 10, 20, 30); double a = area(r); System.out.println(r); } } Scope of a local variable cannot contain the definition of another variable with the same name Rectangle r = new Rectangle(5, 10, 20, 30); if (x >= 0) { double r = Math.sqrt(x); // Error–can't declare another variable //called r here . . . } However, can have local variables with identical names if scopes do not overlap if (x >= 0) { double r = Math.sqrt(x); . . . } // Scope of r ends here else { Rectangle r = new Rectangle(5, 10, 20, 30); // OK–it is legal to declare another r here . . . } Private members have class scope: You can access all members in any method of the class Must qualify public members outside scope Math.PI harrysChecking.BANK_FEE Inside a method, no need to qualify fields or methods that belong to the same class An unqualified instance field or method name refers to the this parameter public class BankAccount { public void transfer(double amount, BankAccount other) { withdraw(amount); //same as: this.withdraw(amount); other.deposit(amount); } . . . } A local variable can shadow a field with the same name Local scope wins over class scope public class Coin { . . . public double getExchangeValue(double exchangeRate) { double value; // Local variable . . . return value; } private String name; private double value; // Field with the same //name } Access shadowed fields by qualifying them with the this reference value = this.value * exchangeRate; Packages Package: Set of related classes To put classes in a package, you must place a line package packageName; as the first instruction in the source file containing the classes Package name consists of one or more identifiers separated by periods For example, to put the Financial class introduced into a package named com.horstmann.bigjava, the Financial.java file must start as follows: package com.horstmann.bigjava; public class Financial { . . . } Default Default package has no name, no package statement

I love to read any type of genre as long as there is romance laced into the plot.
Favorite romantic moment in a book...
Will: "I will love you forever, whatever happens, till I die and after I die, and when I find my way out of the land of the dead, I'll drift about forever, all my atoms, till I find you again..."
Lara: I'll be looking for you, Will, every moment, every single moment. And when we do find each other, we'll cling together so tight that nothing and no one'll ever tear us apart. Every atom of me and every atom of you... We'll live in birds and flowers and dragonflies and pine trees and clouds and in those little specks of light you see floating in sunbeams... And when they use our atoms to make new lives, they won't be able to take one, they'll have to take two, one of you and one of me, we'll be joined so tight..."

I couldn't be more excited to be a returning Wildcat, just in a different fashion. As a native of Forsyth County, I attended Big Creek Elementary as a student from Kindergarten through Fifth Grade and continued through the Forsyth County School System. I graduated from Georgia Southern University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in 3D Studio and received my teaching certificate from University of North Georgia. On the weekends I love spending time with my husband and our dog Beaux, making my own art and cheering on my Georgia Southern Eagles!

|My name is Adam Duncan, but most people just call me "Coach." I was born in Atlanta, and have lived in Forsyth county since 1998. I am married to another incredible Forsyth county teacher, Kayla, who is at Piney Grove Middle. This is my 6th year at Big Creek and I could be more excited!
|Erika McGowan
My name is Erika McGowan. This is my 16th year at Big Creek. I live with my husband and two kids that are at Lakeside Middle and Haw Creek respectively. I was extremely active with every sport I could play growing up and continue to stay active. I play tennis in local leagues, run on my own as well as local 5k's, and now avidly follow my kids sporting activities. I love seeing our students SWEAT and learn to love physical activity while discovering the benefits that go along with it.

Hi there! I am the music teacher at Big Creek elementary. I have the best job in the building because I get to make music with children all day long. I hold three music degrees from around the country; B.M. in piano performance from Cal State Fullerton, B.S. in music education from UNG (formerly NGCSU) and a M.M. from Boston University (on line).
I have been married 29 years to my best friend, Mike Hackney. We have three wonderful, fun, funny boys; Justin (24), Mikey (22), and Frederic (18). All of them are in college and holding down jobs. We moved here from California in 1995 and have been in Forsyth county ever since. I enjoyed the school system so much that I wanted to become a part of it. I went back to school when Frederic started Kindergarten, finished my education degree and started teaching 10 years ago at Matt Elementary. I have been at Big Creek for 7 years and enjoy every day watching our students grow in creativity and musicality.

Famously known as The Island of the Gods, Bali births flourishing artists. Arts displayed on almost in any corner of Bali, paintings, carvings, silvers even garments. From the rice paddies to the pristine beaches, the scenery in this lush green paradise is a true inspiration to all artists that ever visit Bali. Local artist has enormous advantages living in Bali, enjoying the daily lives, savoring its cultures and ceremonies that can only happen in this small but rich island.
Margi House of Fine Art is located in Jimbaran, midway between the famous Kuta Beach and Nusa Dua. Only fifteen minutes drive from Ngurah Rai Airport. This painting gallery housed a local painter collection by the name of Nyoman Sukadana, the name Margi was taken after his late aunty. His paintings ranged from naturals, impressions to abstracts. Most of his paintings are portrayals of the Balinese common life. The canvas becomes the medium of his passionate imagination and creativity.
The Bali Painting is categorized into the following eight categories :
1. Bali Painting Abstract.
2. Bali Painting Action Painting.
3. Bali Painting Animals.
4. Bali Painting Dances.
5. Bali Painting Flowers.
6. Bali Painting Others.

text: Spinal Cord CompressionWhat is spinal cord compression?Spinal cord compression is caused by any condition that puts pressure on your spinal cord. Your spinal cord is the bundle of nerves that carries messages back and forth from your brain to your muscles and other soft tissues. As your spinal cord travels down your back, it is protected by a stack of backbones called vertebrae. They also hold your body upright. The nerves of your spinal cord run through the openings between the vertebrae and out to your muscles.Spinal cord compression can occur anywhere from your neck (cervical spine) down to your lower back (lumbar spine). Symptoms include numbness, pain, and weakness. Depending on the cause of the compression, symptoms may develop suddenly or gradually, and they may require anything from supportive care to emergency surgery.What causes spinal cord compression? One of the most common causes of spinal cord compression is the gradual wear and tear on the bones of the spine, known as osteoarthritis. People who develop spinal cord compression from this are usually older than 50.Other conditions that may cause spinal cord compression can develop more quickly, even very suddenly, and can occur at any age:Abnormal spine alignment (scoliosis)Injury to the spineSpinal tumorCertain bone diseasesRheumatoid arthritisInfection What are the symptoms of spinal cord compression? Symptoms of spinal cord compression can develop quickly or slowly, depending on the cause. Injuries may cause immediate symptoms. Tumors or infections may cause symptoms that develop over days or weeks. Wear and tear of the spine may take years to cause symptoms.These are common symptoms:Pain and stiffness in the neck, back, or lower backBurning pain that spreads to the arms, buttocks, or down into the legs (sciatica)Numbness, cramping, or weakness in the arms, hands, or legsLoss of sensation in the feetTrouble with hand coordination"Foot drop," weakness in a foot that causes a limpLoss of sexual abilityPressure on nerves in the lumbar region (lower back) can also cause more serious symptoms known as cauda equina syndrome. If you have any of these symptoms, you need to get medical attention right away, typically in the emergency room:Loss of bowel or bladder controlSevere or increasing numbness between the legs, inner thighs, and back of the legsSevere pain and weakness that spreads into one or both legs, making it hard to walk or get out of a chairHow is spinal cord compression diagnosed? To diagnose spinal cord compression, your healthcare provider will ask you questions about your symptoms and do a complete physical exam. During the exam, he or she will look for signs of spinal compression, such as loss of sensation, weakness, and abnormal reflexes. Tests that help with your diagnosis may include:X-rays of your spine. These may show bone growths called spurs that push against spinal nerves. X-rays may also show an abnormal alignment of your spine.Special imaging tests of your spine. A CT or MRI scan will give a more detailed look at the spinal cord and the structures surrounding it.Other studies. These may include a bone scan, myelogram (a special X-ray or CT scan taken after injecting dye into the spinal column), and electromyography, or EMG, an electrical test of muscle activity.How is spinal cord compression treated? The medical team involved in treating your spinal cord compression may include arthritis specialists, bone surgeons, nerve specialists, and physical therapists. Treatment depends on the cause and your symptoms and may involve medication, physical therapy, injections, and surgery. Except in cases of emergency, such as cauda equina syndrome or a broken back, surgery is usually the last resort.Medicines may include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that relieve pain and swelling, and steroid injections that reduce swelling.Physical therapy may include exercises to strengthen your back, abdominal, and leg muscles. You may learn how to do activities more safely. Braces to support your back or a cervical collar may also be helpful.Surgical treatments include removing bone spurs and widening the space between vertebrae. Other procedures may be done to relieve pressure on the spine or repair fractured vertebrae. The back may also be stabilized by fusing some of the vertebrae together.Some other treatments that may be helpful for some people include acupuncture and chiropractic care.Can spinal cord compression be prevented? Many causes of spinal cord compression can't be prevented. You can help prevent symptoms of spinal cord compression caused by gradual wear and tear by keeping your back as strong and healthy as possible.Get regular exercise. Exercise strengthens the muscles that support your back and helps keep your spine flexible.Maintain good posture and learn how to safely lift heavy objects. Other good body mechanics include sleeping on a firm mattress and sitting in a chair that supports the natural curves of your back.Maintain a healthy weight. Excess weight puts more stress on your back and can contribute to developing symptoms of spinal compression.How is spinal cord compression managed?The best way to manage spinal cord compression is to learn as much as you can about your condition, work closely with your healthcare providers and caregivers, and take an active role in your treatment.Keep your back as healthy as possible by maintaining a healthy weight, practicing good body mechanics, and getting regular exercise.Simple home remedies like an ice bag, heating pad, massage, or a long hot shower can help reduce pain.The nutritional supplements glucosamine and chondroitin have been recommended as nutritional supplements for people with osteoarthritis, but recent studies have been disappointing. Ask your health care provider if he or she recommends any supplements for you and always discuss any alternative treatments or medicines you'd like to try.When should I call my healthcare provider? Spinal cord compression can cause cauda equina syndrome, which needs medical attention right away. Call your healthcare provider or go to the emergency room if you have:Sudden loss of bowel or bladder controlSevere or increasing numbness between your legs, inner thighs, or back of your legsSevere pain and weakness that spreads into one or both legs, making it hard to walk or get out of a chairKey pointsSpinal cord compression is caused by a condition that puts pressure on your spinal cord.Symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet can come on gradually or more suddenly, depending on the cause.Spinal cord compression can often be helped with medicines, physical therapy, or other treatments. Except in emergencies, surgery is usually a last resort.Next stepsTips to help you get the most from a visit to your healthcare provider:Know the reason for your visit and what you want to happen.Before your visit, write down questions you want answered.Bring someone with you to help you ask questions and remember what your provider tells you.At the visit, write down the name of a new diagnosis, and any new medicines, treatments, or tests. Also write down any new instructions your provider gives you.Know why a new medicine or treatment is prescribed, and how it will help you. Also know what the side effects are.Ask if your condition can be treated in other ways.Know why a test or procedure is recommended and what the results could mean.Know what to expect if you do not take the medicine or have the test or procedure.If you have a follow-up appointment, write down the date, time, and purpose for that visit.Know how you can contact your provider if you have questions.

Wie's Wrists Will Never Be 100%
By Kickntrue on 2/20/08
Michelle Wie is teeing off this weekend on a sponsor's exemption in Hawaii and has come to the conclusion that her wrists will never be the same as they were before her injury last year. "Obviously, it's not 110%, but I feel pretty healthy," said Wie. I think the real issue is that she doesn't understand math. I'm not sure her wrists can ever be 110%...? (Story)

mbills1015 says:
Michelle Wie plain and simple is a mess. Why not tell everyone before the year starts why your going to be bad... Its not b/c you were never as good as everyone said you were, its b/c your wrists hurt. I can't wait till Michelle Wie isn't news anymore b/c she working as the cart girl on a local muni after she couldn't hack it in the professional ranks.
golfgirl says:
There's nothing I'd like to see more than for Michelle Wie to do well this weekend, because if she did start playing well she'd be more exciting to watch than anyone else. Can she do it? it's doubtful, but I, for one, would welcome it. I hate to say this but I find Annika Sorenstam excruciatingly boring. Though I acknowledge that she's an extraordinary player, she just has no magnetism, IMHO.
chipotle mg says:
she made the cut and played well until the final round.
