In past months (though not for several weeks now) I have been posting up chapters from a currently unpublished book of mine (composed back in late 99/early 2000) wherein I work out a progressing synthetic metaphysic, arriving at orthodox Christian belief; and I find I am at a paradoxical point. If I proceed to the end of the section of chapters, I would probably have to continue along with a whole other section of entries concerning redemption and the Incarnation. But while the material has some apologetic value, it doesn't stand without all the previous argumentation I've done in the book--only some of which is reflected in this series of entries. Nor does the further, fifth section involve a historical analysis--a topic far beyond the scope of my work.
Meanwhile, there are many other entries I want to be focusing on contributing, including a series building on the progression of points from my first section of chapters (and then eventually on to the second and third, arriving back at the beginning of this series of entries eventually.)
Consequently, I have decided to sum up some pertinent points established in this series, and leave it at that--for now.
1.) Ethical systems based on appeals to realities that are not themselves intrinsically 'ethical', do not succeed as ethical systems per se. They do well enough as explanatory systems of other types, but not of that sort; which, I think, most of their own adherents frankly admit, when it comes down to brass tacks. The reason they are appealed to anyway for such purposes, or pseudo-purposes, is because they require (or seem to require) only entities broadly admitted by all (or most) sides, including oppositional sides, to exist and function in a relatively undisputed fashion. In order for these systems to compete against purportedly objectively ethical systems, the proponents must level tu quoque arguments: okay, so, these systems actually don't work very well (I would say at all) at really providing ethical grounding, but neither do any other systems, including those that appeal to God (for instance). Since the explanations do meanwhile work for other purposes, we might as well employ them as if they worked for this purpose, too. It may be a convenient illusion, but at least the illusion is based on relatively uncontroversially accepted realities.
2.) This position is inadvertently strengthened by the fact that monotheism--the option typically proposed as a system for providing objectively ethical grounding (for logical reasons I won't summarize here)--doesn't work either on close analysis! This leaves disputants toiling away in ultimately fruitless fields trying to make the best of situations which (as each side can clearly enough see) don't hold up to scrutiny. And so criticisms and countercriticisms pile up all around, some of them quite pertinently accurate on all sides.
3.) It can be discerned, from all this, that what is required in order to field-goal between the horns of the Euthyphro Dilemma (so to speak!), is a system where the ethical grounding is: a.) the ultimate ground of reality; and also b.) an interpersonal relationship while remaining a single ultimate ground. (No cosmological dualism or infinite regression or that sort of thing.) Mere monotheism doesn't provide this. But orthodox Christian binitarian theism (at the least) does. Moreover, binitarian theism can be argued for acceptance as true on grounds prior to the question of ethics; so that in a developing synthetic argument we would discover we have the solution to our ethical-grounding dilemmas already in place and ready to be applied.
4.) Ironically, even most Christian apologists don't appeal to the actual strengths of our own position when discussing ethics and God. Instead, mere monotheism is routinely presented--and promptly fails, sometimes in a spectacular fashion.
5.) Relatedly, even most Christian apologists routinely advocate what is known as privative aseity--the notion that God's own self-existence is sheerly ungrounded; when orthodox Christian theism actually involves positive aseity--the notion that God's own self-existence is actively self-grounded. This becomes a principle handicap in several fashions, including here in the discussion of ethical grounding.
6.) A subtle but important problem involving personal relationships between entities, where at least one entity is not the positively self-grounding Independent Fact, leads to the inferred discovery of a 3rd Person of God, distinctly proceeding from the self-begetting/self-begotten (i.e. Father/Son) unity of the first two Persons while still being the same singular substance as the first two Persons. (Incidentally this answers the millennia-old dispute between Eastern and Western churches concerning the filioque, in favor of Western churches: the Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, not from the Father only.) This Person of God is directly concerned with coherent interpersonal relationships between ourselves and God and so also between ourselves and each other (as not-God entities). Thus, incidentally, providing the title of my section of chapters ("Ethics and the Third Person").
7.) The Holy Spirit routinely prompts normally functioning derivative sentient entities (i.e. persons like us), at least at a minimum basic level of knowing we should refuse to accept contradictions, to do what is ethically right; even when due to misunderstandings and/or lack of data on our own part we can't always tell what is the ethically best (or even right) thing to do. Any sin, as it happens, is a sin against the Holy Spirit; and as such is not in itself forgivable. The person however remains forgivable, if only the person will repent and resolve to try to do what is right and true.
8.) The operations of the 3rd Person of God are primarily aimed at fulfilling "fair-togetherness", so to speak (the Greek term often Englished as "righteousness" in Christian scriptures) between persons, whether between God and derivative persons or between derivative persons and each other.
9.) We can expect these operations to continue, and to keep on continuing, even when we rebel against this reality--including in whatever mode of existence we are brought into by God (which we can expect to happen in some way) after we finish dying naturally. Where necessary, the operations will take the form of punishment against us; but the punishment is always directed toward helping us reconcile with God and with each other, either now or later. (It should be noted that this position would be strongly objected to, by most Christian theologians throughout history, including today. My point is that this is a corollary from following out the implications of orthodox trintiarian theism, though.)
10.) All of humanity seems to be in much the same boat together, in regard to sin; and this has been true throughout discoverable human history (so far). But we can infer that God would not have created a sentient species originally in this condition. Therefore we may infer some kind of primordial Fall of Man has occurred; and based on the existence of apparently hereditable results, compared to a reasonably expected handicap of breeding-success with unfallen members of our species, the prevalence of the condition indicates most probably (though not certainly) that an original mated pair of the species 'fell' at about the same time.
This brings us up to date with where the series of entries is at. Now for some personal reflections on having done the exercise--by which I mean the whole book, not just the chapters represented by the entries in this series.
I find that the exercise was extremely helpful to me in the matter of discipline and coherency. When I am slowly and carefully tracing out positions and their implications, and eliminating impossibilities, I can see better why various notions should go together and be affirmed.
Also, the exercise allows me to approach the topic of religious beliefs from grounds actually shared by a majority of opponents; even if those grounds are so far back in the stages of argumentation that I cannot easily point to them at any given time. Relatedly, this prepares me to be watching for good sceptical argumentation and criticisms as I continue along; what I normally find is that these criticisms where accepted on their own merits slot in fairly well with a development to orthodox Christian theism.
This was a little surprising to me. What was more surprising, though, was how far I was able to get in directly developing an inferred theology; especially since I began with a few hundred pages of no theology per se at all! Of course, I had some idea when I began of what I thought I might be able to accomplish, but it was limited to deducing that I ought to accept not-atheism instead of atheism, and maybe something to do with ethics and with supernaturalism--and even that expectation was restricted by a resolve in advance not to affirm something I thought I couldn't arrive at on grounds I would be willing to accept as a sceptic myself.
I was unsatisfied with the salad-bar apologetics I was typically familiar with, where topics are addressed perhaps in some fullness but without any developing connections to each other; but I wasn't expecting anything more than to discover I could establish a basic theism (if that much!)
Instead, I not only went the distance in developing orthodox trinitarian theism, I actually arrived at an expectation of what God would be doing to save us from our sins via an Incarnation, and even through a 'chosen nation' (though that material is not specifically represented in the current entries). And all without appealing to 'scriptural authority'; indeed, all of it was developed on grounds I would still be prepared to accept as a sceptic, even on grounds I would be prepared to insist upon as a responsible thinker of any belief.
When I can arrive at a highly articulated and wide-ranging metaphysical belief, while leaving nothing behind that I would be prepared to grant or even to insist upon as either an agnostic or as some other kind of believer--then I think I have correspondingly good reason to say that I am going to be exceedingly difficult to 'root out' of my belief; not out of obstinacy but because there is nowhere to root me to that would not lead me back here eventually--not in opposition of that belief but in actual respect and critical appreciation of that oppositional belief.
And when that metaphysic points toward a story already told across millennia in a set of religious texts where the authors can be seen to be arriving at the same story but as an interpretation of history and of claimed-revelation, then I find independent confirmation in those sources--and am prepared to treat them (even if critically so) as being specially authoritative, too.
(Note: the first entry in the series can be found here. A sort of topical prequel to the series, "The Heart of Freedom", can be found here.)

In past months (though not for several weeks now) I have been posting up chapters from a currently unpublished book of mine (composed back in late 99/early 2000) wherein I work out a progressing synthetic metaphysic, arriving at orthodox Christian belief; and I find I am at a paradoxical point. If I proceed to the end of the section of chapters, I would probably have to continue along with a whole other section of entries concerning redemption and the Incarnation. But while the material has some apologetic value, it doesn't stand without all the previous argumentation I've done in the book--only some of which is reflected in this series of entries. Nor does the further, fifth section involve a historical analysis--a topic far beyond the scope of my work.

Drake Pays $100k In Settlement For "Borrowing" Lyrics From 90s Track
The opening of Drake's verse on YG's "Who Do Ya Love" starts with a few bars from Bay Area artist 4-Tay's 1994 track "Playaz Club." Rapping the words line for line, it's clearly an homage to the track, though Drizzy didn't follow proper protocol in doing so – crediting and/or clearing the lines before using them. Luckily for him, though, he didn't have to go through a long drawn out court process. Instead, Drake and 4-Tay settled outside of the courtroom for a cool $100k. Needless to say, 4-Tay has no more gripes.

Our backstage spy braves the flying stilettos to report all...A more rousing start to day two, as Luke Hersheson blasted Bruno Mars behind the scenes at Daks and cast a critical eye over the hair, which was blunt, perfectly straight and expensive-looking. He'd obviously missed the 'dishevelled tresses' memo that the other designers received that day.At the Antipodium run-through, models practiced walking in towering velvet boots, looking like drunk giraffes, before being herded backstage and given chignons so shabby even Patsy Stone would have had a hard time pulling one off. And later at Todd Lynn, an ENTIRE can of mousse was used per girl, to get ponytails suitably crispy.Backstage at John Rocha felt like the set of Les Mis, as cheekbones were hollowed out with smears of putty-coloured blush, and stylists sweated over the number of extensions needed for the long, messy, dragged-through-a-bush-backward hairdos. Moschino was a bit of a muddle (not helped by some rather tardy models and a lack of phone signal in the Savoy basement) and there was a slightly sticky moment at Issa, when a certain badger was reprimanded for scoffing grapes from a model's plate (an easy mistake to make with all those fruit platters lying around).Award for the most bonkers concept of the day goes to House of Holland, where the term 'granny rave' was used to explain the pink glittery eyes and leopard-print nails (cleverly matched to the shoes). It nearly made up for the venue - a multi-storey car park in Soho. Nearly.IF YOU LIKED THIS, YOU'LL LOVE...

Directed, Edited & Produced | Bryan Bisordi
Drummer Bryan Bisordi is known for his dynamic approach to the instrument and ability to fit into any playing situation. Throughout his performing career he's accompanied artists in all genres, blended acoustics and electronics with Ableton Live and SPD-S, and doubled on drum set and electric bass. These experiences have taken him all over the US, Europe, Japan and the Middle East, led to television and radio appearances on NBC, BBC (UK) and RTE (Ireland), and include performances at Lincoln Center, Terminal 5 and Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, Blue Note Jazz Clubs, and hundreds of other venues in NYC and around the country.
Bryan had the privilege of playing on ten records in the last two years, and performed with numerous live acts all over the world. These include a national tour with Ron Pope and European tours with Great Elk and Hesta Prynn. Bryan also performs with Liptalk, Janita (Engine House Records), Cosimicide, Jetlag, Twintapes, Bonsai, Zach Berkman, Nell Bryden (Cooked Vinyl), Lizzie and the Makers, Gyroscone, Danny Ross (Ammul Records), Big Plastic, Simone Stevens, and Speedbuggy.
In 2009 and 2010 Bryan had the honor of accompanying Nell Bryden on two USO tours performing in Iraq. Not only was this a valuable musical opportunity, it was also a life changing experience meeting and performing for the US troops overseas. Bryden's 2009 release "Live in Iraq" is comprised of recordings from the first tour, and footage from the second tour provided the basis for Susan Rockefeller Cohen's documentary "Striking A Chord."
Bryan endorses and loves Canopus Drums.
Along with drums, Bryan can be seen playing electric bass. In 2006 the neighbors grew weary of Bryan practicing drums, so after some nasty threats and a few tense visits by the local law enforcement, Bryan decided to try an instrument with a volume knob.
Bryan studied with master drummer Michael Carvin, and graduated from his school of drumming. He has also studied with Kevin Norton, Bill Goodwin, Amy Putnam, and Scott Ketron.
Studying with great teachers instilled an early desire in Bryan to pass his knowledge and experience along to aspiring drummers, which led to the formation of the Bryan Bisordi School of Drums and has now encompassed hundreds of students over eight years. Current and previous students have gone on to continue their studies at Julliard, Berklee College of Music, Queens College, City College, and William Paterson University.
Bryan is currently working on his drum set method book, with completion planned for 2016.

South Pole Station closes for the winter
The U.S. Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station "closed"
for the winter on Feb. 16 and the 50 men and women there won't be able to leave
or see anyone else until the first flight of the 2001-02 season arrives in October.
The South Pole Station Web site is
available only when a satellite is within range. This is from about 2
p.m. to 2 a.m. . New Zealand time, or 10 p.m. to 10 a.m. U.S. EST. Even
then it's not always available.
A new satellite system and power place are both in operation,
reports Jerry "Mac" Macala, the station's winter site manager. "We've
had the usual kinks you might expect from new equipment but overall they are
functioning well," he reports via e-mail. "Life at the pole is slowly
becoming more in touch with the rest of the world. Some see this as progress
but others lament the loss of the last frontier on planet earth. I'm one of
the latter."
After a New York Air National Guard LC-130 took off on
Feb. 16, "We were expecting two more flights, but they were canceled due
to weather, and the station was officially closed," Macala says.
The 50 people spending the winter at the pole include 11
scientists and 39 support and construction personnel, he says. Winter construction
will focus mainly on finishing the inside of the first pod of the new station.

Up to 100 people were involved in the street fights with Greater Manchester Police officers at Manchester's Old Trafford football ground.
Police dog units and mounted officers became involved with a series of scuffles with supporters close to the stadium's front entrance on Sir Matt Busby Way. Fans are understood to have hurled bottles and missiles at police lines outside the ground.
A group of around 1,000 mostly AS Roma supporters gathered around the main entranceway, although it is believed only 100 were involved in violence. Some fans suffered cuts and other injuries.
The violence appeared to last only a few minutes and was quickly brought under control by officers.
A stand-off ensued outside the front entrance of Old Trafford as a heavy police presence created a no mans land of about 30 metres between the Roma fans waiting to get into the stadium and the United fans who were congregating outside the United Megastore.
Police were steadily gaining control of the situation but the odd bottle still continued to be thrown into the Roma section.

The Stratosphere Girl is about that rarified subculture of young white women (preferably blonde) who live in Tokyo and work as "hostesses" in upscale nightclubs. It's a fine line between waitress and hooker, and its a world in which Angela (newcomer Chloé Winkel) finds herself thrown.

FINALLY I figured it out - PAPER CUPS!! These work PERFECTLY!! It is easy for the kids to cut the strips themselves AND they are surprisingly very durable.
When cutting out the spokes/warp strips, it is extremely important to remember to cut out an odd number of strips so that when you are weaving your AB pattern, the pattern alternates each consecutive time around. I found that with the 9oz cups my kids were using, 9 strips turned out to be the perfect number.
**If you'd like my template for this (5oz and 9oz cups), follow this link!
Once the strips were cut, students double-knotted a piece of yarn to one of the strips, then began weaving!
This particular class worked for 5 days straight on this (they really are a wonderful group).. and I had a few students who even completed 3 very well done cups in this amount of time (a couple even got pulled for our county art show)! :) The 4th grade teacher whose class did these wonderful weavings also has her own blog too - so if you're a classroom teacher, you may be interested to check it out!

Red, White, and Doom
Just a taste of reality for the people living in the U.S. Yeah, this is what your country has come to.
Fill your lungs with ice-cold air,
Taste the hatred burning there,
Feel the hate's growing power,
Blooming like a death-bound flower.
Greed, greed, evermore,
Even with the street's new whore,
Lustful, sinful needs are served
No one quite meets the curve.
Lying cheating, nothing's true,
Not even the baby new,
With three fathers he's got luck,
Baby has a face his mother struck.
Gambling, drinking lives away
All for keeps, not for play.
Watch our leaders, so empowered
As they turn our country sour,
Red's for the blood, blue's for the true
No it's black for the lies they spew,
White's for the innocence we once knew,
All is gone in our minds askew.
Now we burn, our screams devoured
As you play in above-ground flowers,
So watch your back, we now scorn,
You're next in line, in hell we burn.

The Journey
A woman is driving along a quiet country road late at night. She has her young baby in the car with her. She is running away from a problem. Her car gives trouble and she is forced to stop on the lonely road. This is a collaborative story and anyone can add their reasons for her fear and her flight.
This time there could be no mistake: that flashing red light on the dashboard was not going to go away and it could only mean one thing - engine trouble. I felt my heart beat quicken and my mouth went dry. What was I going to do? To carry on driving could mean total disaster, but to stop on the side of the road could be equally dangerous.
I glanced in the rear view mirror to check on my baby daughter asleep on the back seat. She was bundled up in the two blankets which is all I had been able to snatch up before running out of the house. She looked warm and secure but, I wondered distractedly, for how long?
When I had first noticed the red light, I had instinctively slowed down and now I decided to pull off onto the side of the road. Perhaps, I thought optimistically, once the engine had a chance to cool down, that little red light would magically disappear.
It was dark and bitterly cold - no moon or stars were visible and the whole world seemed to consist of a vast, black void. Once I'd turned the engine off the silence was oppressive. My daughter gave a little cry as if she was aware that we had stopped. Luckily she didn't wake up, for which I was grateful as I had no bottle with which to comfort her.
I tugged my coat more securely around my shoulders, wishing the heater in the old car still worked. I put my feet on the seat and drew my legs up to try and generate some warmth. I was terribly frightened, here I was, at midnight, on a lonely country road, in a car which was causing trouble and with no idea what was going to happen next. It was not likely that many cars would be travelling on that stretch of road at that time of night and even if they were, would it be safe to accept help, if, indeed, it was even offered?
Time crawled by - the cold seemed to intensify as did the silence. Once I heard the snapping of twigs nearby and terrified, I peered through the window but could see nothing but the intense blackness surrounding the car. I had time enough to relect on my situation and the reasons behind it. I know it had been madness to flee but what else could I have done? He was after me and would have taken the baby - I had no option but to run. Would he come after me? Would he know where I was heading?
I forced myself to stay awake - I had to keep alert - I daren't risk falling asleep but it was difficult and the desire to close my eyes was hard to resist. I sang softly to myself, recalling old songs and nursery rhymes from my childhood, anything to keep awake. I glanced frequently in the rear view mirror to check on the baby, wanting to snuggle up to her in the back seat but afraid that it would disturb her.
Just as I had decided that maybe I could risk closing my eyes, I looked in the mirror and saw in the distance, on the road behind me, the lights of a car travelling in my direction. My first reaction was one of heartfelt expectation - I put on my hazard lights and decided that when the car was closer, I would shout out for help. Then I had a paralysing thought! What if it was him - that he'd worked out what road I'd taken and had follwed me? Although I'd had a good start, the engine trouble had forced me to stop and thus would've allowed him plenty of time to catch up with me.
I watched the headlights draw closer and closer and then I heard the motor switched off as the car rolled to a quiet standstill behind me. I heard the car door open and slam, then the sound of footsteps crunching on the frost-bitten earth. I ducked down and pulled my coat over my ears. I heard the rapping of impatient knuckles on my window and then a voice, quiet but ominous, say, 'Open up!'

Great Value
Stylish, well constructed, excellent price, and made in America. I would highly recommend this sink to anyone who wants a quality sink (16 gauge stainless) without paying an exuberant price. Its nice and deep, the racks on the bottom are a real plus. Sturdy packaging, prompt delivery. If Kraus keeps this up they are going to be around along time.

Two Republican candidates are running for the nomination in the district Senator Mark Herring will vacate if he wins the recount for Attorney General. Voters in the 33rd Senate district will make their choice in a Mass Meeting to be held on Monday, December 16th, at Park View High School, 400 W. Laurel Avenue, Sterling, VA 20164, with registration from 6:30 PM until 7:30 PM. You must be at the high school prior to 7:30 to register to vote. The meeting will begin promptly at 7:30. Since several hundred people are expected to attend so getting to the school early would be a good idea. If you are unsure of your state Senate district, click here.
Two candidates, John Whitbeck and Ron Meyer Jr., are running to face democrat Jennifer Wexton in a special election; the date has not yet been set.
Ron Meyer Jr. is 23 years old and without a regular job. He has been a young spokesman on Fox News on a few occasions but was fired from his most recent job when he said John Boehner would resign as Speaker. Admitting this rather large mistake, Meyer said " Look, I'm a 23-year-old activist who's just starting". He's right, he's just a kid starting out. He may well make a good candidate in 10 or 20 years. He's just not ready yet.
Ron rents an apartment in Herndon with his girlfriend. He's never had a mortgage or a business or even a regular job. After deciding to run for State Senate Ron proposed to his girlfriend in a rather opportunistic move on Thanksgiving. Until a few weeks ago Ron Meyer was running for Congress in the 11th district. He has refused to return money that donors gave him for the 11 district race while he uses their money in this current race for State Senate. Many donors are extremely angry about Meyer using money that they donated for one purpose only to see their money used for a completely different purpose in a district that doesn't even represent them. Is that even legal? I can find no endorsements for Ron Meyer Jr on his website or anyplace else.
John Whitbeck is 35 years old, married for 10 years, with two little girls and another due next month. He is a well respected attorney in Leesburg having run his own business for years. As Chairman of Virginia's 10th Republican District, John has been a solid conservative who has been able to join together all factions of the party. In 2008 Virginia's 10th district voted for Obama. Under John's guidance the 10th district voted for Romney in 2012. John owns a home in Landsdowne and has been President of their Home Owner's Association. He is a solid conservative who will not raise taxes, he supports the Second Amendment, and is pro Life. He knows how to beat democrats and he has proven it as the leader in the 10th Congressional district. John has been endorsed by an overwhelming majority of the elected officials in Loudoun County.
Please visit John Whitbeck's website and learn more him and his ideas for our future. I think you will agree that John is by far the best candidate to represent us in the special election for Mark Herring's seat, should such an election become necessary. Republicans need to take back this seat to control the State Senate and stop McAuliffe from expanding Obamacare into Virginia and raising our taxes. John is the candidate who can do that. If you are a voter in the 33rd State Senate district please vote on Monday for our future and the future of our children.
<<<Cross posted at The Bull Elephant>>>
UPDATE: The Meyer campaign has contacted Virtucon with corrections that they would like to make to this post:
1) Ron is 24, not 23.
2) Ron does have a regular job as a PR professional.
3) Ron has not been on Fox on a few occasions, but has made over 100 appearances on national cable news.
4) He was not fired from his job after the "Fire Boehner" incident. Ron left American Majority Action more than 2 months after this incident on his own accord because he was announcing his candidacy.
5) Ron has run a business and held a regular job.
6) As a personal friend to Ron, I know that proposing to Celia is something that he has had planned for months leading up to Thanksgiving and was unrelated to his candidacy.
7) Ron has not refused to return money to donors that have requested this sort of action. You will be able to see in his upcoming FEC and SBE filing reports that Ron has refunded thousands of dollars to donors that have requested refunds.
8) The only money that Ron has transferred from his Congressional account to the state level account is money from donors that have given Ron the approval to do so. Not a single cent from a donor has been transferred over against their wishes.


text: Introduction to Character Encodings, Java and You Agenda Defining the problem – – Where webMethods products encounter character set problems. What the symptoms look like. Understand core concepts – – What is a character set? What's an encoding? What is Unicode, really? Code Examples to avoid problems 2 Private and Confidential Confusion Reigns Generally, the most confusing aspect of internationalization. 1. 2. 3. – 3 Many, many standards to choose from. Arcane terminology American programmers rarely (seem) to encounter it head-on. We're presenting this because many of our products are encountering this problem now. Private and Confidential Problem Domain webMethods products interface with: – – 4 non-Java systems (for example, in the adapters) non-Java environments (file systems, databases, libraries, email, ftp, http, etc.). Private and Confidential Java's Text Representation Java provides a convenient text processing architecture centered on the Java String object. – 5 A Java String is basically an array of Java Character Objects. Private and Confidential Java Characters Each Java Character object represents a Unicode character. – – (Currently) a 16-bit unsigned integer value between 0 and 65,535. Character class provides access to character properties. 6 Private and Confidential UPPER, lower, and Titlecase mapping Comparison Directionality Compatibility C-TYPE values such as 'alpha-ness', 'digit-ness', 'alphanumericness' Non-Java Text Non-Java files, applications, filesystems, database, et.al. typically do not use Unicode. Java sees them as an array of bytes (byte[]). 7 Private and Confidential Three Problems ? Bad Conversion No glyph ƒÃƒ\ǂكÃ\ǂÙ 8 Private and Confidential Random-seeming trash characters Bad Conversion Target character set doesn't have this character in it. Java replaces each character with a "?" Input String: 日本語 Output String: ??? Typically: – – 9 Using the default encoding when we meant to specify one. Writing on a device (such as System.out) whose legacy encoding doesn't support the characters. Private and Confidential "No Glyph" Java knows what the character is and is handling it properly, but doesn't have a picture of it to show you (in the current Font selected). Input String: 日本語 Output String: Typically: – 10 Nothing is wrong, just using the wrong Font. Private and Confidential Random Trash A byte[] was converted using the wrong character encoding. Bytes were mapped to the wrong characters. Input String: 日本語 Output String: ú " {–ê Œ Typically: – 11 Using the wrong encoding, the underlying bytes are mapped to different, random-seeming characters. Private and Confidential Examples Same byte sequences, different results: Shift JIS byte[] = 0xE0, 0x41, 0x83, 0x70 = "漓パ" Latin-1 byte[] = 0xE0, 0x41, 0x83, 0x70 = "àA p" Java String = 0xE0, 0x41, 0x83, 0x70 = " 荰" Java String = "漓パ" = U+6F13 U+30D1 12 Private and Confidential Character Set Terminology What is a Character? A character is a single, atomic unit of text. The definition has a different meaning according to the writing system and context. 14 Private and Confidential Abstract characters Some abstract characters include: A Roman Letter Capital A ` Combining Accent Grave に Hiragana character "ni" 語 CJK Ideograph يArabic letter 앚 Hangul syllable A Fullwidth compatibility letter A 15 Private and Confidential What is a Character Set? A character set is a "set"--- a collection of characters, usually organized in some fashion. You're probably most familiar with ASCII: – – – 16 0x41 'A' 0x42 'B' Etc. Private and Confidential What is a Character Encoding? Character set: a collection of characters, basically, a bucket. Character encoding: the specific ones and zeroes assigned to a character set. Character Set: 'A' == 0x41 Character Encoding: 'A' == 0x41 17 Private and Confidential Eight Bit Encodings 8-bit encodings allow for 256 characters. 128 ASCII 32 'C1' controls 96 extended 18 Private and Confidential Latin-1 The standard for Western Europe is generally ISO-8859-1 AKA "Latin-1" Used by UNIX systems and the Web. Extended version used by Microsoft for Windows. 19 Private and Confidential Let a Thousand Encodings Bloom… Each language has it's own character set… – – – – 20 Everywhere: ASCII* Western European (like German or French): Latin-1 Eastern European (like Polish or Slovak): Latin-2 Simplified Chinese: GB2312 Private and Confidential Actually, many for each language… 21 Private and Confidential Other Writing Systems Writing systems vary around the world (in order of increasing complexity, more or less): – Latin-based alphabets – Cyrillic and Greek-based alphabets – (... )זוהדגבאHebrew Complex scripts (everything else): 22 (一丁勺両亀困...) Japanese Bi-directional (RTL) languages go right to left – (АБВГДЕЖЩ...) Russian Ideographic writing systems have thousands of characters – (ABCDEFG…) English Private and Confidential (ऋऌऍऎ )Devanagari Expanded Character Sets Most languages have alphabetic or phonetic writing systems: – – – Russian, Greek, Slavic, (many) Native American, Bahasa, Hebrew, Arabic, Semitic, etc.: alphabetic Indian (subcontinent), Thai, Japanese kana, Korean: phonetic writing systems 8 bits is enough for all of the above (with some tricks) Some languages use scripts based on Chinese ideographic writing ("Han" or "Hanja"): – – – 23 – Chinese Korean Vietnamese (traditional) Japanese Kanji Private and Confidential "Double-Byte" 8-bit character encodings use eight bits per character. – 28 = 255 characters "Double-byte" character sets must be 2 bytes per character ? – 216 = 65,535 characters Should actually be called "multi-byte" (MBCS). – – 24 Each character can be ONE, TWO, THREE and sometimes FOUR bytes in length. MAY involve shift states. Private and Confidential Multibyte Encodings A typical Japanese Character Set: JIS X 208 (漢字) Character Encodings of JIS X 208: Shift-JIS (CP932): 0x8A 0xBF 0x8E 0x9A EUC-JP: 0xB4 0xC1 0xBB 0xFA ISO 2022-JP: 0x1B, 0x24, 0x42, 0x34 0x41 0x3B 0x7A 0x1B 0x28 0x4A Non-Legacy: UTF-16: 25 Private and Confidential (0x6F22 0x5B57) An MBCS Example: Shift-JIS Character set used by DOS, Windows, Macs, and a few UNIX-like systems for Japanese. – Code Page 932 – JIS X 208:1997 26 Private and Confidential Shift-JIS In order to reach more characters, double byte values start with a limited range of "lead bytes" These can be followed by any character value > 0x40 ("trail byte") 27 Private and Confidential Shift-JIS Each "lead byte" provides a "window" onto additional characters. 28 Private and Confidential Shift-JIS Problems: – Lead byte values are also valid as trail bytes. – Common special characters ("\"!!) are valid trail bytes. 29 Private and Confidential Han CJK scripts require up to 100,000 unique characters for complete representation. – Four major variants: 30 Private and Confidential Traditional Chinese Simplified Chinese Japanese Kanji Korean (non-Hangul) "Kanji" Sometimes you hear Japanese called "kanji" – – Kanji is actually one of four writing systems used in Japan. Kanji should be avoided as a generic term for DBCS. Kanji ("Han" or Chinese writing): 日本語 Hiragana (phonetic for Japanese words): にほんご Katakana (phonetic for "foreign" words): ニホンゴ Romanji ("Roman script"): nihongo 31 Private and Confidential Chinese Upper two are Traditional. Lower character is the Simplified variant. 32 Private and Confidential Hangul Korean Hangul is a syllabic phonetic system, which has thousands of combinations. – 33 Hangul is not related to Han ideographic writing. Private and Confidential Code Page Hell With hundreds of encodings and character sets to choose from, making internationalized code work in the late 1980's and early 1990's was "hellish". Internationalization folks referred to this as "code page hell" 34 Private and Confidential Unicode and Java To the Rescue Unicode (ISO 10646-2) Unicode is a character set that supports all of the world's languages and writing systems.* Originally designed as a "wide character set"--every character was represented by 16-bits. This allowed for 65,535 potential characters. Extended to allow 1.1 million characters. Unicode is maintained by an industry consortium. ISO 10646-2 is maintained by WG2. The two are exactly identical. 36 Private and Confidential It's a character set? Unicode is a character set. It has these encodings: – UTF-32. (BE/LE) – UTF-16. (BE/LE) – A 16-bit encoding. All characters are 16-bits. Characters above 0xFFFF (the "Basic Multilingual Plane") require two special "surrogate" characters. UTF-8. 37 A 32-bit encoding. All characters 32 bits. Private and Confidential An 8-bit variable width encoding. Characters are 1, 2, 3 or 4 bytes long. Always non-endian. ASCII == ASCII All other characters have a special bit pattern UTF-8 Bit Pattern ASCII == ASCII – 0x41 == 'A' All other characters are multibyte. – 110xxxxx == two bytes 1110xxxx == three bytes 11110xxx == four bytes 10xxxxxx == trail byte – U+00C0 == À == 0xC3 0x80 (11000011 10000000) – – – 38 Private and Confidential Convenience Method for UTF8 Almost True: readUTF and writeUTF allow direct access to UTF-8 DataInput/DataOutputStreams. – – 39 This is not really UTF-8, but a Sun specialized version. Use InputStreamReader/OutputStreamWriter to do proper conversions. Private and Confidential Java Uses Unicode Every character in every Java String object is encoded as UTF-16 Unicode. – – Every string is converted from a legacy encoding, either by the compiler or by the String class. This is the reason for native2ascii and –encoding switches. Once you have a String object, everything is Unicode UTF-16. 40 Private and Confidential "Special" encodings There are two encodings that the system treats as special: – – file.encoding ISO-8859-1 All basic conversion functions use your system default encoding. Most servlet conversion functions use ISO-8859-1 as the default. 41 Private and Confidential Two File Encodings Windows systems generally have two different file encodings: – – 42 "ANSI" encoding is the Windows default code page for GUI applications. "OEM" encoding is the code page used by the 'cmd' or 'command' interpreter shells. Private and Confidential Stream Readers and Writers InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter classes perform controlled conversion between byte[] and String. – – – 43 Always pass the encoding as a variable. Use the IANA preferred name for the encoding, if possible (see ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/) Prefer UTF8 for on-the-wire transport. Private and Confidential Code Sample // use with any type of InputStream class InputStream is = new FileInputStream(file); InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(is, encoding); // use Buffered Reader for efficiency BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr); StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); int chr; while ((chr = br.read() > -1) { sb.append(chr); } * Note: Try blocks eliminated for clarity. 44 Private and Confidential OutputStreamWriter Code Sample // use with any type of OutputStream class OutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream(file); OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter((OutputStream)os, encoding); osw.write(myString, 0, myString.length()); osw.flush(); * Note: Try blocks eliminated for clarity. 45 Private and Confidential Character Class Provides access to Unicode character properties. – – – – – – – – – 46 UnicodeBlock inside class Character getType (defined types) isDigit isLetter isLetterOrDigit isUpperCase/isLowerCase/isTitleCase toUpperCase/toLowerCase/toTitleCase isSpace/isWhitespace isISOControl/isJavaIdentifierStart/isJavaIdentiferPart Private and Confidential Normalization Many characters have two (or more) representations in Unicode. – – 47 Normalization makes the sequences the same. Simplifies user input parsing and validation. Private and Confidential ICUj Normalizer Class Four forms of Normalization: – – – – – – 48 Form C (composed) Form D (decomposed) Form KC (canonical composed) Form KD (canonical decomposed) Special handling for Hangul characters! Note that there is a private class java.text.Normalizer in the JDK. Private and Confidential Demo Programs UnicodeDemo – a Java program that demonstrates the byte sequences of different encodings and also provides some code that shows ISR and OSW in action. Charsets – a Windows program by my buddy Bill Hall for playing with encodings. http://www.inter-locale.com -- my personal website, with examples and demos of certain Java I18n things. 49 Private and Confidential Questions?

The Walking Dead is an episodic graphic adventure based on Robert Kirkman's The Walking Dead comic book series. The game was developed by Telltale Games and was initially slated for release in the last months of 2011, but was held back until early 2012 to allow further time for development.
In this application, several levels of difficulty. You start with the most simple level, will be increased further. Once you assemble the picture, you can select it in the gallery as your wallpaper or pass again this puzzle.
This app will add a few search access points on your device. If you do not want to use this new search page, you can either ignore it or delete it. If you do use it, we get a few cents and it will help us a lot to keep developing more apps. If you don't, you can delete it and no harm is done (our app remains the same, no need to uninstall it!). Thank you.
