Instance Creation. Chapter

1 Chapter 5 Instance Creation We've now covered enough material to look more closely at creating instances of a class. The basic instance creation message is new, which returns a new instance of the class. For example, employee := Employee new. collection := OrderedCollection new. If you send new to a collection class, it will return a new collection 1. The size will always be zero since the collection is empty, but the capacity will be the default capacity for that class. The capacity is the number of items you can put in the collection before it has to grow. For example, printing the following expressions gives the capacity shown on the right. Array new capacity. 0 Bag new capacity. 0 Dictionary new capacity. 3 Set new capacity. 3 List new capacity. 5 OrderedCollection new capacity. 5 Growing a collection is quite expensive because the growing code creates a new collection with a larger capacity, copies over all the elements of the collection, then becomes the new collection. If you know how big the collection should be, or have an idea for the starting capacity, it's more efficient to create the collection by sending the message new: with the starting capacity as a parameter. Some collections, such as instances of Array, don't grow automatically, so it's important to specify their capacity (for collections that don't automatically grow, the size and capacity are the same). For example, array := Array new: 10. collection := OrderedCollection new: 20. stream := (String new: 100) writestream. The new and new: methods are implemented by Behavior, although they are overridden by many other classes. Because your class will inherit new and new:, you don't need to override them unless your class has Copyright 1997 by Alec Sharp Download more free Smalltalk-Books at: - The University of Berne: - European Smalltalk Users Group:
2 Instance Creation 2 data that needs to be set when an instance is created. There are two types of data setting that can be done: setting variables to a default initialized value, and setting variables to data that is specific to the instance. Let's take a look at each of these. Setting default values Suppose we have an Employee object that tracks the number of hours of vacation and sick time allowed and taken. When an instance of Employee is created, we want to initialize these instance variables to the appropriate values, regardless of the name or salary of the employee. There are two ways of doing this. We can use lazy initialization as we saw in Chapter 4, Variables. For example, Employee>>sickHoursUsed ^sickhoursused isnil iftrue: [sickhoursused := 0] iffalse: [sickhoursused] Alternatively, we could initialize all the data in a single initialize method. Lazy initialization is useful if you have objects where the data may never be accessed and where it's expensive to initialize the data, but it has a cost of an extra message send each time the data is accessed. If you will be accessing the data a lot, it's worth doing the initialization in an initialize method. For example, for our Employee object we might have the following (although we wouldn't have hard coded values for the allowed variables). Employee>>initialize self sickhoursused: 0. self vacationhoursused: 0. self sickhoursallowed: 80. self vacationhoursallowed: 80. To invoke the initialize method you'll have to override new since the inherited new doesn't invoke initialize (at least if Employee is subclassed off Object). The usual way to override new is as follows (one of the most common errors of beginning Smalltalk programmers is to leave off the ^, which means that the class itself will be returned, rather than the newly created instance). ^super new initialize Before you override new like this, you need to be aware of what super new does. If the new method in the superclass sends initialize, your initialize method will be invoked twice, first by the superclass new method, then by the Employee new method. In this situation you don't need to override new since you can inherit it from your superclass. Since the superclass has an initialize method that presumably initializes superclass data, your initialize method should start with super initialize. For example, suppose we have an Employee class, with subclasses of HourlyEmployee and SalariedEmployee. Let's assume that hourly employees get two weeks of vacation while salaried employees get three weeks. We might have the following: ^super new initialize 1 Sending new: to a class that is not variable sized will generate an exception.
3 Instance Creation 3 Employee>>initialize self sickhoursused: 0. self vacationhoursused: 0. HourlyEmployee>>initialize super initialize. self sickhoursallowed: 80. self vacationhoursallowed: 80. SalariedEmployee>>initialize super initialize. self sickhoursallowed: 120. self vacationhoursallowed: 120. While overriding new to be ^super new initialize is the common way of doing it, some people prefer to use the basicnew message. ^self basicnew initialize Methods that start with basic, such as basicnew and basicat:, should not be overridden. Their purpose is to provide the basic functionality, and programmers should be able to rely on this. If you want to override the functionality, override new and at:. By using basicnew, you don't have to worry about any superclass sending initialize and thus causing your initialize method to be invoked more than once. However, you still need to determine whether you should send super initialize in your initialize method. Overriding new It gets frustrating to have to override new just so you can invoke initialize. One solution is to have all your application classes subclassed of MyApplicationObject, which is subclassed off Object. In MyApplicationObject, you override new on the class side, and write a default initialize on the instance side. Now you can override initialize in your class without having to override new. MyApplicationObject class>>new ^self basicnew initialize MyApplicationObject >>initialize "do nothing" Setting instance specific values Often when you create a new instance you want to give it some information. In our employee example, we need at least a name. We may also need to provide a social security number, a salary, and information about gender, marital status, and number of dependents. There are two choices: to create the instance then set the variables, and to set the variables as part of instance creation. For the sake of example, let's assume that when creating an employee object, two pieces of information are absolutely required: a name and a social security number. If we create the instance then set the variables, we might have something like: employee := Employee new. employee name: aname.
4 Instance Creation 4 employee socialsecurityno: asocialsecurityno. The problem with this approach is that you are relying on all programmers to remember to set the required variables after creating the instance. This is okay if the variables are optional, but dangerous if they are required. If you need to guarantee that the data is set, you are better off writing a instance creation method that forces programmers to provide the required information. For example, if we write our own instance creation method, we can create an employee like this: employee := Employee name: aname socialsecurityno: asocialsecurityno. What would the name:socialsecurityno: method look like? One option would be to simply pass on to an initialization method the information that needs to be set. ^super new initializename: aname socialsecurityno: asocialsecurityno This is a reasonable approach if you need an initialization method to initialize other data, such as the vacationhoursused variable shown above. However, if the initialization method does nothing except set the variables passed in, you might set the data directly. For example, you could use one of the following techniques; the second one dispenses with the temporary variable. instance instance := super new. instance name: aname. instance socialsecurityno: asocialsecurityno. ^instance ^super new name: aname; socialsecurityno: asocialsecurityno; yourself Overriding new to avoid it being used If you require programmers to use name:socialsecurityno: to create instances of Employee, you could override new to raise an exception. Doing this is not very common, but it does make it easier for programmers to discover that they are creating employee objects in the wrong way. self error: 'Please use name:socialsecurityno: to create Employee instances' Avoiding the use of new: If only the employee name is required, you might be tempted to use new: aname. Resist the temptation. The instance creation message new: is used to specify the size of a collection, and programmers reading code should be able to assume that a collection is being created when they see new:. Instead, use name: or newnamed: or newwithname:. I tend to like method names that tell me both that they are creating a new instance and what the parameter is.
5 Instance Creation 5 Sole instances of a class Some classes have but a single instance. Examples in the system classes are true, which is the sole instance of True, false, which is the sole instance of False, nil, which is the sole instance of UndefinedObject, and Processor, which is the sole instance of ProcessorScheduler. The classes UndefinedObject, Boolean, and ProcessorScheduler override new to prevent new instances being created. In your own code, if you have a class that should have only one instance, the easiest way to handle this is to have a class variable that contains the sole instance. When someone tries to create a new instance after the first one, you can either raise an error or return the sole instance. For example, Instance isnil iffalse: [self error: 'You can only have one instance of MyClass']. Instance := self basicnew. ^Instance ^Instance isnil iftrue: [Instance := self basicnew] iffalse: [Instance]

While it may not be difficult to find replacement parts for Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to fix your car or truck. You purchased your C300 because its performance and European styling agreed with your nature; so why would you be okay with anything but the best when it comes to great quality auto parts? Your Mercedes-Benz dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality parts to repair your C300. Make no mistake, you didn't buy your C300 unless you knew that you wanted long-lasting quality and a trusted brand both rolled up into one vehicle.
While the wheel dates back about 10,000 years, using it for transportation wasn't possible until a few more components were invented. You may not know this, but your Mercedes-Benz C300 has a suspension and drive train that is built upon ideas and inventions that are millennia old; including the axle and wheel hub. The wheels are bolted to the wheel hub assembly; providing them with a flat surface that rotates with as little friction as possible. Since half of your Mercedes-Benz C300 wheel hub bolts to the wheel carrier while the other half rotates, a wheel bearing is usually pressed into the center. Depending on your vehicle options or the complexity of the wheel hub assembly, your ABS ring and sensor may be included with it as well.
Ordering new Mercedes-Benz parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are paying the lowest prices for the most superior original and aftermarket replacement C300 parts on the internet. Bring your C300 back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Make all your future car parts purchases at carpartsdiscount.com and save time and money on all your upcoming repairs. Just choose your year from the list below to find the right Mercedes-Benz C300 Wheel Hub & Bearing for your 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 model.

Registration for the 2015 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium opened last week. As with last year, I'm a member of the organizing team. One of my roles is to write content, such as the text below, for our newsletter. We sent similar content via e-mail in yesterday's edition.
The 2015 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium is just around the corner: May 20, 2015 at the MIT Kresge Auditorium, Cambridge MA. This global event helps CIOs and senior IT executives become better business leaders.
Last year, Lindsey Anderson, event chair, told us in his opening remarks that we should all be thinking about the digital revolution because of two concepts: exponential growth of technology and convergence of global markets. Here are ten highlights from the 2014 Symposium (download the program pdf) to remember:
- Thaddeus Arroyo, Chief Information Officer of AT&T Services, received the MIT Sloan CIO Leadership Award.
- During the morning's academic panel, Erik Brynjolfsson, co-author of The Second Machine Age, set the scene for the day saying that, "We are at an inflection point where technology continues its ever rapid pace . . . and as a result is having a profound impact on society." See the video.
- All day networking was highlighted by the 2014 Innovation Showcase and Evening Reception. Dell's Karaboutis said, "Data is the new currency in the digital world," a sentiment that Jeff Boehm observed as he visited vendors such as CloudPhysics, Cambridge Semantics, Luminoso, and RapidMiner that were showing new ways to gain insights from data.
- "Every company is now a software company," says Mendix CEO Derek Roos while summarizing the digital disruption. The issue facing every business is that the world is becoming programmable, so software is critical for customer satisfaction and brand differentiation.
- To cope with this second machine age, "culture, laws, ethics, and economics all matter." CIOs can no longer focus on technology alone; they must work closely with business owners.
- "Fear vs. fear" has replaced "hope vs. fear." Narinder Singh, chief strategy officer for Appirio, says, "It's now fear of disruption versus fear that we can't screw something up because I don't want to get fired."
- Collective intelligence is the new frontier. Professor Thomas Malone tells us that the team's strength depends on team members having high social intelligence, as well as a willingness to have everyone participate. Andrew McAfee explained how collective intelligence is expanding to include combinations of humans and machines.
- "IT doesn't support the business; it is the business," this is one of many great quotes from Adriana Karaboutis, the Dell CIO. Another was when she explained how she ditched the company's IT steering committee, "I'm not a ship; I don't need to be steered."
- After the event, Sheila Lahar's take away from the event was that modern CIOs are agile, customer-focused, visible, and innovative. Laura Aberle's take away was that CIOs need to help enterprises stay ahead of the customer empowerment curve.
- Matt Haney identified the one overarching theme to sum up the Symposium: "evolve or perish." This was the theme of the afternoon's general session about becoming the CIO of the future.
Are you looking forward to the 2015 MIT Sloan CIO Symposium?

I just checked in to the Dunkin Donuts near my office for my regular liquid-energy replenishment and was pretty surprised that I earned a foursquare Fresh Brew badge for the check-in!
Apparently, this new badge only requires 30 coffee shop check-ins- Not a steep requirement for us caffeine-addicts.
Heck, a lot of the people I know could earn it in one week!


text: Just days before it is launched across most of the networks in the UK, the HTC Sensation has allegedly been suffering iPhone-like antenna problems.The Nordic Hardware site claims the antenna design used in the new Sensation does make it prone to 'death grip' when the handset is held in a certain way, with the signal strength over Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and mobile dropping dramatically. The site even has videos showing it happen. Not good at all.However, HTC doesn't see it as a problem, primarily because the problem only occurs when you hold it in a less-than-natural way. Speaking to TechRadar, a company spokesperson said: 'No. Every phone experiences a slight variation in signal strength when the antenna is covered in its entirety by a palm or fingers, however under normal circumstances this does not affect the performance of the phone.'So it all depends on how you hold the phone. If a significant number of people hold it that way, it's likely to be a problem. This might be the case when the Vodafone exclusive ends and the rest of the networks are offering the phone. On the flipside, no such problem was found when we reviewed the phone recently - and it was given a thorough going over for the review.

New Delhi: Delhi Daredevils were on the verge of a Champions League elimination, but their captain Sehwag found form at the right time and powered his side to a 50 run over Sri Lanka's Wayamba XI at the Kotla on Sunday.
Batting first, Sehwag (66) and Karthik (61) blazed half-centuries to help Devils to post a respectable total of 170/5 in 20 overs.
Champions League Fixture | Points
Karthik slammed Ajantha Mendis for three consecutive sixes en route to a destructive 61 from 41 deliveries. Karthik found good support in Owais Shah, who made 18 from 10 balls.
Later Delhi bowlers lead by veteran Glenn McGrath(2/20) and Nannes (4/24) demolished Wayamba batting line-up to restrict them to 120/7.
Former Sri Lankan captain Jayawardene fought a lone battle and had made 53 when Nannes returned to claim his scalp, on the way to figures of four for 24.
Mahela Jayawardene was the lone bright spot in Wayamba batting chart, scoring 53 off 40 balls, while Sameera de Zoysa (21) was the other notable run-getter for them.
With this victory, the Delhi finished their group proceedings with a net run rate of +0.700 and winner of the Tuesday match between Victoria Bushrangers and Wayamba would now join Delhi in the next stage from Group D.
Delhi Daredevils 170-5 (V Sehwag 66, K D Karthik 61) v Wayamba 120-7 (D P M D Jayawardene 53, D P Nannes 4-24)
Delhi Daredevils beat Wayamba by 50 runs

|Bower Lake Gypsy Camp
| Thag
Hero of Bowerstone (If she is not set free)
|First Appearance
|Fable II
|Last Appearance
|Fable II
Regina is a gypsy that the Hero of Bowerstone can rescue or condemn to slavery after defeating the bandit leader Thag. She is locked in a cage with a random male gypsy. Upon exiting Thag's Cabin the hero meets the bandit Dick. The hero then has the choice of killing Dick and/or releasing the two, which results in them exiting the cage and the male talking about being free, which leads to the two to start bickering, and then thank you and run off into the wilderness. Handing the Key over to Dick results in them yelling in distress and Dick will tell them to shut it. They will disappear upon you leaving the area. Releasing them without killing Dick results in the same bickering, but with Dick standing there insulting you.
Trivia Edit
- This is the first moral choice for the character after Childhood.
- Both Regina and the random male gypsy have random skin sets.
- If you set Regina and her friend free, then they can be found living in the Gypsy Camp in Bower Lake. They are not married to each other, so they are eligible.

Tracy Morgan Collapse
January 24, 2012 by staff
Tracy Morgan Collapse, Actor and comedian Tracy Morgan collapsed Sunday night and was taken to the Park City Medical Center. Morgan was escorted from the Creative Coalition Spotlight Awards ceremony Sunday night at the Sundance Film Festival.
The "30 Rock" star sought medical attention due to "a combination of exhaustion and altitude," according to his publicist Lewis Kay.
Morgan was released from the hospital Monday. Morgan' was "grateful" for the care he has received, Kay said.
Kay said hospital officials reported no drugs or alcohol were found in Morgan's system, despite reports he was acting drunk at the ceremony.
"Any reports of Tracy consuming alcohol are 100 percent false," Kay said.
Morgan suffers from diabetes and had a kidney transplant two years ago.

Project DescriptionFROM THE ARCHITECTS:
Located at the nexus of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, 100 Light was a classic 1960's modernist office tower, rising 35 stories above a monolithic 1.3 acre granite plinth. The outdated building was 70% vacant, with a leaky underground parking garage, facing new competition from the next generation of Class-A office buildings. The client sought to reaffirm 100 Light as the center of downtown Baltimore. The design team took an innovative approach to reposition the building, leverage available resources and transform the barren plaza and lobby of Baltimore's tallest building into a vibrant urban garden. With sustainability informing all decisions, the design team set out to create unique solutions that not only celebrate the sense of place at 100 Light but also showcase how greening urban spaces can also serve as a model for stormwater retention and run-off quality.

By Susanne Kappler, Fort Jackson LeaderNovember 4, 2010
FORT JACKSON, S.C. -- Members of the Fort Jackson community who did not have a chance to attend Tuesday's installation town hall meeting will not have to wonder what they missed.
A video of the meeting will be available online no later than Nov. 17, said Lewis Kellam, supervisor operations officer with the Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security. In addition, the format of the meeting has been expanded so that community members can e-mail questions in advance.
Col. James Love, garrison commander, said the format changes are part of a continuous effort to improve and expand community forums. The purpose is to provide information about garrison developments to as many people as possible and to garner feedback from the community, Love said.
"As a garrison team, as an installation staff, we have but one voice we listen to, and that's our customer," he said to those in attendance. "It is our job to provide you all with a level of service commensurate with your level of sacrifice to a nation at war."
Traditionally, community members have had the opportunity to raise questions during the meetings, some of which could be answered immediately; others were answered at the following town hall meeting. Although questions are still accepted during the meeting, Kellam said he hopes that more people will get involved by being able to e-mail questions in advance.
"We try to make the process as simple as possible and also use some of the available resources ... to get to as many people as we can," he said. "It is the opportunity for those living on the installation or working on the installation to share with us those things that we don't see, things that affect them that maybe we could provide them a solution to."
Although the main focus of Tuesday's meeting was holiday safety, Love took the opportunity to remind the community about the importance of energy conservation. He said Fort Jackson's electricity bill averages about $1 million each month.
"We have to do a better job as an installation," Love said. "We're going in the wrong way. We're supposed to be saving energy. We're actually consuming more energy than we did last year, and that's a bad trend."
Love urged Fort Jackson employees to be mindful of their energy use and to turn off office lights, monitors, computer speakers and printers at the end of the work day.
"A little effort on your part can save us money," he said. "And that money is something I can then put back into the community and do things like build new roads (or) put it back into other programs that eventually will help Soldiers."
The next town hall meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m., Feb. 1 at the Solomon Center.
To view the video of Tuesday's town hall meeting, visit www.jackson.army.mil, scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the Vimeo link. To send in questions for the next town hall meeting, e-mail email@example.com.
Town hall topics:
-- Holiday safety tips
-- Dealing with stress
-- Housing updates
-- AAFES updates

- Details & Specs
Nothing can hide! Gain the upper hand in any hunting or tactical situation with the powerful target detecting ability of the Armasight® Helios 640 2-16x42mm (30Hz) Thermal Imaging Bi-Ocular. Based on the latest FLIR Tau 2 VOx microbolometer core, the Helios detects targets through snow, rain, dust, smoke, fog, haze and other obscurants to give you the targeting advantage in any environment. The Helios 640 is effective day or night, delivering true 24/7 performance for hunting and tactical ops.
The Helios is the lightest and most compact thermal imaging bi-ocular in its class, and is ideal for sustained viewing and improved depth perception in the field. Operation is simple, thanks to an easy and intuitive drop-down user interface and smartly engineered controls.
Rapid start-up gets the Helios up and running in less than 3 seconds, and a full compliment of color modes and special, user-adjustable imaging tools allows for fine tuning images to the situation and operator preference. Brightness is adjustable to 8 levels, and a video out jack allows for recording and playback with the optional Armasight® DVR (sold separately).
Special User-Adjustable Imaging Tools provide ultimate versatility and customization.
Active Contrast Enhancement (ACE) - a digital "Contrast" correction that allows for a smart scene optimization based on dynamic adjustments where a variety of contrast levels occur depending on relative scene temperature.
Second Generation Digital Detail Enhancement (DDE) - a "Sharpness" correction that is digitally enhances the picture to present clearer imagery, significantly improves edge sharpening and further reduces image noise.
Smart Scene Optimization (SSO) - a fine-tuning computational correction that significantly improves an overall visual acuity for targets that have thermal signatures similar to a surrounding background.
Automatic Gain Control (AGC) - a "Gain" correction that used to automatically adjust the gain to an appropriate range, the weaker the image signal, the stronger the gain.
User-Controlled Manual Non-Uniformity Correction / Flat-Field Correction (UCMNUC / FFC). There is a mechanical shutter between the camera sensor and the lens. This shutter is used to perform a non-uniformity correction (NUC) also known as flat-field correction (FFC. During FFC, the shutter presents a uniform temperature source to each detector element in the array. While imaging the flat-field source, the camera updates the offset correction coefficients, resulting in a more uniform image after the process is complete. All Helios models allow for user to manually trigger or interrupt scheduled UCMNUC / FFC function.
Silent Shutterless NUCTM (SSN) - In addition to user controlled manual NUC / FFC all Helios models employ a digital supplemental non-mechanical flat-field correction that allows to extend the periods between mechanical shutter events and to further reduce image noise. SSN is always ON enhancement.

The widening Atlantic
Q: How do we know the Atlantic Ocean is widening and
by how much?
A: The Atlantic Ocean is getting wider at about the same rate as your fingernails
are getting longer-an inch a year, averaged worldwide. We know this through
a blend of theory and direct measurement, each supporting the other.
Continental drift and plate tectonics provide the theory. We measure the widening
ocean in various ways including measuring distances between matched magnetic
landmarks on either side of a widening gap on the ocean floor.
Continental drift states that a long, long time ago all the continents we
know were one super continent, called Pangaea. Figure 1. About 180 million years
ago, Pangaea broke into smaller continents, which then drifted to their present
positions. In so doing, the landmasses of the Western and Eastern hemispheres
separated and opened the Atlantic Ocean basin from a tiny inlet of water to
the vast ocean we know today.
Plate tectonics tells us how such an unlikely event could occur: The outer
hard crust of Earth that seems so fixed and continuous to we short-lived beings
on the surface consists actually of a dozen or so distinct, hard plates that
drift individually on hot, deformable rock like huge ice floes on a polar sea.
An unequal distribution of heat within Earth moves the plates much like floating
parsley drifts about the surface of simmering soup.
Each plate moves as a distinct block. For example, New York and Denver both
are on the North American plate and London is on the Eurasian plate. As the
two plates move apart, the distance between New York and Denver always stays
the same because they are on the same plate. The distance between New York and
London, however, continually widens as the North American and Eurasian plates
All major interactions between plates must occur at their boundaries
since each plate moves as a unit. Here's where the action takes place:
earthquakes shaking, volcanoes exploding, and mountains building. The boundary
between the plates forming the Atlantic Ocean is smack down the middle along
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, shown as a red line in the figure to the right, and
the dashed black line in the figure below. The ridge is where we must look to
find a widening gap, which accounts for the widening ocean. That is where we
measure the rate of separation.
Where the plates separate, white-hot soft mantle (colored orange in Figure
3) oozes up from great depths within the Earth to fill the gap. The molten rock
cools slowly into new slivers of sea floor. This happened over and over again
through the eons, as illustrated by the white and bronze-colored strips in the
figure: lighter bronze indicates older slivers. That's how the Atlantic Ocean
widened-by a spreading sea floor.
We measure the gap rate in various ways (including direct measurements of
plate movement using space technology). One method capitalizes on the fact that
the Earth's magnetic poles reverse polarity every million years or so. The North
Pole becomes the South Pole and vice versa.
Iron-rich rock has a peculiar property: heat it above 580 degrees Centigrade
(the Curie point) and it loses its magnetism. When it cools below 580 degrees
the rock gets re-magnetized in the direction of the existing Earth's magnetic
field. So it's a magnet whose poles align with the poles of the Earth at the
time of the cooling. The neat thing about this is: the magnetic field of the
rock, once cooled, stays frozen in this orientation. It becomes a record of
the Earth's field at the time of its cooling.
To measure the rate of separation, we identify two slivers of sea floor on
opposite sides of the ridge that have the same magnetic polarities frozen at
the same time, for example, at 80 million years ago. We measure the distance
between them (say, 8,000 kilometers). Then the rate of spreading across the
ridge is 8,000 km / 80 my, or 10 cm/yr.
Using this method and others, we estimate the Atlantic Ocean widens at a rate
of about 0.4 inch to a maximum of 4 inches (1 to 10 centimeters) per year. The
worldwide average is 1 inch a year-the same rate your fingernails grow.

Article X, Section 8
of the Louisiana Constitution provides that any person employed in the state classified service who has attained permanent
employment status may only be disciplined for cause set forth in writing. A permanent employee who has been disciplined
has the right to appeal that disciplinary action to the State Civil Service Commission. Separately, the Constitution also
guarantees that no one employed in the state classified service may be discriminated against because of his or her political
or religious beliefs, sex, or race. A classified employee who believes that he or she has been subjected to these types
of prohibited discrimination has the right to appeal to the State Civil Service Commission.
The Appeals Division helps the State Civil Service Commission hear and decide these appeals. The Appeals Division serves
as the Clerk of Court's Office for the Commission. It receives appeals, maintains appeal files, schedules hearings, issues
subpoenas, mails decisions, and compiles the appellate record if judicial review is sought. The Appeals Division also provides a staff of Referees
who hear and decide cases for the Commission.
After the Commission or a Referee hears an appeal, a written decision is issued. If a Referee issues the decision, the employee
and the agency have the right to ask the Commission to review the Referee's decision or to appeal the Referee's decision
directly to the First Circuit Court of Appeal. If the Commission issues the decision, or takes action on an application
for review, the employee and the agency have the right to appeal the Commission's decision to the First Circuit. Any party
dissatisfied with the First Circuit's decision may ask the Louisiana Supreme Court to review the Court of Appeal's decision.
The Louisiana Supreme Court, in its discretion, may or may not grant that request for review.
This service provides a monthly memorandum listing the decisions rendered the previous month by the State Civil Service
Commission and its Referees, which includes hyperlinks to the decisions themselves.
It also provides an update memorandum regarding the status of decisions that were not final when they were initially reported.

text: Investors in Wabash National Corp. ( WNC) saw new options begin trading this week, for the May 17th expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the WNC options chain for the new May 17th contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.The put contract at the $12.50 strike price has a current bid of 15 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $12.50, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $12.35 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of WNC, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $14.28/share today. Because the $12.50 strike represents an approximate 12% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 82%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 1.20% return on the cash commitment, or 8.26% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

Public Cloud (and) (or) Private Cloud
A recent article in the Financial Times, Private cloud reporting for duty, by Aydin Kurt-Elli makes several interesting points regarding cloud computing.
- (A) Scalability and costs favor public clouds – or at least application outsourcing
- (B) Compliance laws mean that companies are hesitant to adopt public clouds
- (C) Private clouds address issues of A while providing the benefits of B
The article continues and makes several other good points about access from anywhere improving efficiency while reducing costs and overhead.
No one size fits all
Perhaps the best reference is to the fact that no one-size fits all when it comes to deploying applications – public clouds will work for some, private clouds for others.
Conjunctions are interchangeable
Software today is being developed so that instead of public OR private, your application can be public AND private. Data can reside in different places than your application, or you can switch where your application runs. Modern software applications (Acumatica for example), advertise that users can switch between a private cloud deployment and a public cloud as their business changes. This means that you can start out on a public cloud while capital and resources are scarce and switch to a private cloud if required by regulations.

Dear Pope Francis
Pope Francis;
My account
My account
If you could ask Pope Francis one question, what would it be?
Children have questions and struggles just like adults, but rarely are they given the chance to voice their concerns and ask the big questions resting deep in their hearts. In Dear Pope Francis, Pope Francis gives them that chance and celebrates their spiritual depth by directly answering questions from children around the world. Some are fun. Some are serious. And some will quietly break your heart. But all of them are from children who deserve to know and feel God's unconditional love.
Pope Francis, formerly Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, S.J., served the Jesuits as novice master, lecturer, provincial, confessor, and spiritual director before Pope John Paul II named him Archbishop of Buenos Aires. He was elected to the papacy on March 13, 2013. He is the first pope from the Americas and the first pope to choose the name Francis, in honor of St. Francis of Assisi.
