Hi so I actually had cramping and pains on my right side and an ultrasound showed a "mass" on my right ovary so I freaked!! Then I saw the OB and they told me that's the corpus luteum and it's possible that it could cause discomfort even early on.

Opinion & Analysis
Special offer, two days only, 202 million Trade Me shares. Buy now price, $3.80 each.
OPINION: Even at $767 million, the deal was more popular than a Tana Umaga memorial handbag and the shares were snapped up by eager buyers.
Part of the attraction was no doubt the discount to the market price, then about $4.05, but it's also apparent Trade Me has plenty of investor support - selling 51 per cent of the company over a long weekend is no mean feat.
In fact, it is probably the biggest deal of its kind in more than a decade.
Given the size of the deal it's significant that Fairfax, owner of www.stuff.co.nz and seller of the 51 per cent, chose not to flog its controlling stake to a single buyer.
Ordinarily, a vendor might seek a premium for such a strategic holding by selling it to a trade or private equity buyer. Why would Fairfax not do so in this case?
Maybe it considered the idea, but the fact that the shares went to a multitude of institutions suggests it was not the optimum approach this time.
Among the issues with a trade sale a single buyer - perhaps a competitor - might require a period of due diligence and a conditional deal, extending the transaction time and correspondingly the risk of something going awry.
And if a trade deal falls over there is the risk of a competitor potentially gaining useful intelligence from the due diligence process.
Instead, Fairfax went for a quick sell-down to institutions, with the minimum price guaranteed through an underwrite with investment bank UBS. Clearly, although UBS would have made a tasty fee for the underwrite, it would take on the obligation only if it was confident it wouldn't be left holding surplus stock.
That the whole thing was executed between last Saturday and Monday shows there is plenty of money looking for a home and that Trade Me is seen as a good place to put it.
It shows something else too, but first, what does it mean for existing Trade Me shareholders?
Analyst Arie Dekker of Craigs Investment Partners started covering Trade Me in January and in his first research note rated the stock a hold reflecting ''comfort in the investment thesis and near-term earnings outlook for the company, and a [valuation] multiple that we think is sustainable if Trade Me continues to execute well in the core auctions and classifieds businesses''.
In hindsight his 12-month price target was conservative at $2.94 - within two months the shares topped $3.50 and kept climbing.
Last week Dekker was still conservative, suggesting a 12-month price target of $3.78, below the price of the Fairfax sale and well below the market price.
Still, he was not saying Trade Me was overvalued. ''It's been trading at a premium,'' he said, ''but it's still not really out of line with where its Australian peers have been trading.''
In August, Trade Me announced its first result as a listed company was net profit of $75m, well ahead of the prospectus forecast of $65m. The dividend of 7.8c was also up on the 6.8c foreshadowed in the prospectus.
At the October 30 annual meeting it said the outlook was stable, but the broader economic upturn forecast at IPO time has not emerged.
As it turns out, the shares peaked at $4.45 on October 29 and fell sharply to $4.24 on the day of the AGM, so it looks like the remarks may have had an effect.
It's also possible that efforts to assess demand for the Fairfax stake immediately prior to the deal, a process some bankers call seasoning, affected share trading.
Since the Fairfax sale, Trade Me shares have fallen slightly on high volume, easing to $3.99 within a couple of days. That's 10 per cent down on the October peak.
With the release of the Fairfax shares onto the market, it seems likely the shares could take some time to touch previous heights again. Nevertheless, Trade Me has been a good performer since its IPO at $2.70 a share last year and the level of investor support should give confidence to other companies thinking of going public.
And that is possibly the wider significance of the Fairfax deal.
This time next year we could be assessing the performance of several new listed companies on the NZX. Let's hope for a happy new year.
Merry Christmas.
Tim Hunter is deputy editor of the Fairfax Business Bureau. He owns shares in Trade Me.

Im tired of all you rich stupid snotty fokes telling us our home is bad we just grow up in differnt standards then you. here there are differnt races there are white mexicans african americans and watch one day we are going to be running it all amigos and your gonna see us working together and haveing a good time you just cant enjoy the great things in life. thanks for reading this

If you think Compton is bad then go to the midwest to Gary, East St Louis ILL, Detroit, Cleveland, Toledo, Pittsburg, Ft Wayne, South Bend (unemployed capital besides El central), and the other rust belt cities of no jobs and no hope.
What am I am saying, Compton, El Central, Richmond, and Stockton is another rust belt city of the west coast....
Another victory for the elites. Hi-Five!!!
#8 Jun 14, 2010
Compton is one of the worst cities to live in.... The houses are ugly need a lots of remoldling, the schools sucks, the people are rude drug addicts!!! Not safe for the kids to grow up!!! I used to live in Lynwood, when I met my husband!!! We moved out to Santa clarita where I was raised,,,,, high class area!!! My kids are safe, white lovely people!!! My husband thank me every night!!! People in Compton need to live a better life!!! Not worry about gang bangers and drugs!!!

What a stupid question. I'm a 60 year old guy and sure thought this kinds of stupid questions would have ended a long time ago. Talk about a reason for racism... sheesh
#10 Jul 5, 2010
People who make such broad statements shouldn't it shows teir ignorance. Although Santa clarita is a decent area its only the new construction areas that are ok, the rest is full of trailer parks (been there quite a few times) there are alot of meth heads in that city and there is alot of domestic violence that occurs in that city. Also all the people in Compton are not drug addicts thats just a ridiculous statement. It amazes me that we still have people such as yourself that are racist towards your own people. Thank you and your husband for moving away the city is better off with out you.

It's ghetto!!!!!!!!!! You and I both know it's not safe for kids..... Well atleast my kids..... I've seen it all...... Every night I hear ambulance going toward Compton. It's my opinion and I was raised to live a better life than Lynwood/Compton especially now that I have two precious kids........
#16 Feb 7, 2011
#17 Feb 8, 2011
You dont think that the ambulances, "going toward Compton" are not going to the surrounding hospitals? There are other reasons, why they would be going toward, through, and possibly around Compton. I lived in Ontario. I heard sirens every night. Why you might ask? There was a hospital nearby!!

The post mortem of a pilot who died after falling ill at the controls of his plane is expected to take place tomorrow afternoon, Humberside Police have said.
Police are not treating his death as suspicious "at this time" and the results of the post mortem will determine whether an inquest is necessary.
"In accordance with the wishes of the family of the deceased, police will not be confirming the identity of the pilot nor releasing any video footage of the incident," a spokesperson added.

Draft and Trade Talk Message Board
Advice on new team
Newly drafted team. Any advice on my strengths/weaknesses? People/positions to target in trades?
It's 12 team h2h scoring standard 9 plus fgm, ftm, 3%.
PG-Nash, Westbrook
SG-Mayo, Harden
SF-Deng, Kleiza
C-Kaman, Hibbert
Util-Brooks, Conley
BN-Charlie Villanueva, Amir Johnson, Spencer Hawes, Sonny Weems
I'm a raptors fan in case anyone is wondering why I have three of themSort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I'm also a huge Raps fan.
My advice: Don't take any Raptors for your team(s). Emotion will cloud reason. Play to win.
seems to me your rebounding and blks cats are going to be weak so id punt them entirely and trade horford/kaman/hibbert for big men that can hit the 3 like bargnani/murphy/frye.
also your raptor homerdom is going to cost you games. amir and weems are worthless and so is hawes for that matter. stick with raptors that will actually help you win like calderon/jack could also fit into your team nicely.

I think you should try to trade into a higher ranked center in this year's rankings. I'm not huge on some of the rankings, but I think they affect owners' perceptions and so, therefore, affect how much owners are likely to expect to trade a player. Honestly, I would not trade out of Nash, Nowitzki if at all possible, but maybe Tim Duncan would be a good target for you. I would be thinking of moving Mayo, Harden, Horford, and Brooks. Don't think Brooks will back up his numbers from last year, anyhow. You could consider including Hawes or Hibbert, but I would definitely try to keep all your centers. As for SG, I wouldn't worry too much about it. This USC stuff with Mayo is really getting deep, and it will surely suck him down. USC has forfeited every game he played in if you can imagine it. I think R. Bush is finished in the NFL. It's not being explained what a huge mess this is to fans, but I don't think Mayo will survive it as a professional athlete, either. Anyway, that doesn't make it wrong to trade him in my mind. The biggest problem to me is that I think this mess could affect even his peers in the game like Westbrook and Harden, the guys who played against him in colege. I think you could also be considering trading Westbrook for SG if you get really strung for one. The wire might also have some surprises there this year...almost always has some...

yea u have alot of unproven players.. so i think waiting for season to start would be a good option.. trade value for ur players should go up. then look for a package deal for good center and maybe a sg/sf
thanks, anyone elese?

A new mouthpiece, worn at night over the two front teeth, may ease migraine pain in children. The Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Tension Suppression System (NTI-tss) device, showed a 77 percent reduction in migraine events within the first eight weeks of use among 82 percent of sufferers in trials. The device works on the concept that nocturnal teeth clenching (TMJ and even grinding your teeth) is a significant trigger for a migraine headache. The plastic mouth guard fits over the two front teeth — effectively preventing the back teeth from clenching. When we clench our back teeth, it excites the muscles around your temples; it is these muscles (specifically the trigeminal nerve) that have been found to be a significant cause of migraine headaches. San Diego dentist and long-time migraine sufferer Dr. James Boyd, who developed the product, says, "Medication simply addresses the symptoms. I felt it was important to disrupt the activity that was causing the symptoms, which meant suppressing the clenching during sleep." The device must be fitted by a dentist and costs $500-$600. For a list of dentists who carry the device, go to: www.headacheprevention.com.

Dido and Aeneas, Manitoba
Winnipeg music lovers were willingly transported back several centuries as Daniel Taylor and Montreal-based Theatre of Early Music graced Westminster United Church with a program of infrequently heard music.
Last week an audience of 50 assembled in the kitchen of a luxurious West Village townhouse for a performance of Marriage of Figaro.
In a recent article in BBC Music Magazine tenor James Gilchrist reflected on the reason why early-nineteenth-century England produced no corpus of art song to match the German lieder of Schumann, Schubert and others, despite the great flowering of English Romantic poetry during this period.
With the New York Premiere of Florencia en el Amazonas, the New York City Opera Steps Out of the Shadows of the Past
Opportunities to see Idomeneo are not so frequent as they might be, certainly not so frequent as they should be.
Not merely Don Carlo, but the five-act Don Carlo in the 1886 Modena version! The welcomed esotericism of San Francisco Opera's extraordinary spring season.
The early summer San Francisco Opera season has the feel of a classy festival. There is an introduction of Spanish director Calixto Bieito to American audiences, a five-act Don Carlo and two awaited, inevitable role debuts, Karita Mattila as Kostelnička and Malin Bystrom as Janacek's Jenůfa.
Now that the curtain has long fallen on the third and last performance of the Ring cycle at the Washington National Opera (WNO), it is safe to say that the long-anticipated production has been an unqualified success for the company, director Francesca Zambello, and conductor Philippe Auguin.
Most of the attention during this revival of Daniele Abbado's 2013 production of Nabucco has been directed at Plácido Domingo's reprise of the title role, with the critical reception somewhat mixed.
Four years ago, almost to the day (13th to 12th), I saw Melly Still's production of The Cunning Little Vixen during its first Glyndebourne run. I found myself surprised how much more warmly I responded to it this time.
This recital celebrated both the work of the Park Lane Group, which has been supporting the careers of outstanding young artists for 60 years, and the 90th birthday of Joseph Horovitz, who was born in Vienna in 1926 and emigrated to England aged 12.
Headed by General Director Luana DeVol, a world-renowned dramatic soprano, Opera Las Vegas is a relatively new company that presents opera with first-rate casts at the University of Las Vegas's Judy Bayley Theater. In 2014 they presented Rossini's The Barber of Seville and in 2015, Puccini's Madama Butterfly. This year they offered a blazing rendition of Georges Bizet's Carmen.
Ever since a friend was reported as having said he would like something in return for modern-dress Shakespeare (how quaint that term seems now, as if anyone would bat an eyelid!), namely an Elizabethan-dress staging of Look Back in Anger, I have been curious about the possibilities of 'down-dating', as I suppose we might call it. Rarely, if ever, do we see it, though.
Leading a very muscular Dutch Radio Philharmonic, Principal Conductor Markus Stenz brilliantly delivered Alban Berg's Wozzeck with a superb Florian Boesch in the lead and a mesmerising Asmik Grigorian as Marie his wife.
There can't be that many operas that start with an extended solo for double bass. At Holland Park, the eerie, angular melody for lone bass player which opens Pietro Mascagni's Iris immediately unsettled the relaxed mood of the summer evening.
George Souglides' set for Will Tuckett's new production of Rossini's L'italiana in Algeri at Garsington would surely have delighted Liberace.
Calixto Bieito is always news, Carmen with a good cast is always news. So here is the news.
Distinguished theatre director Michael Boyd's first operatic outing was his brilliant re-invention of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo for the Royal Opera at the Roundhouse in 2015, so what he did next was always going to rouse interest.
Although Bohuslav Martinů's short operas Ariane and Alexandre bis date from 1958 and 1937 respectively, there was a distinct tint of 1920s Parisian surrealism about director Rodula Gaitanou's double bill, as presented by the postgraduate students of the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
The eyes of the opera world turned recently to Dresden—the city where Wagner premiered his Rienzi, Fliegende Holländer, and Tannhäuser—for an important performance of Lohengrin. For once in Germany it was not about the staging.
Having been privileged already to see in little over two months two great productions of Die Meistersinger, one in Paris (Stefan Herheim) and one in Munich (David Bösch), I was unable to resist the prospect of a third staging, at Glyndebourne.
Winnipeg music lovers were willingly transported back several centuries as Daniel Taylor and Montreal-based Theatre of Early Music graced Westminster United Church with a program of infrequently heard music.
This co-production by the Manitoba Chamber Orchestra and Manitoba Opera brought 17th century English baroque composer Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas to the stage, along with a selection of his other solo works and with works by Tallis and Handel.
The 50-minute Dido and Aeneas is heralded by many as the very first English language opera and, despite the lack of costumes or sets, it leapt to life before our eyes. This matchless ensemble was a joy from beginning to end. It was incredible to discover that while each splendid soloist was truly unique, possessing a timbre, expression and tone all their own, they combined as a chorus into a superbly blended unit. Taylor moved seamlessly from conductor to countertenor soloist (in the role of the evil Sorceress.) He led an accomplished seven-piece baroque orchestra (including lute) with a subtle touch, resulting in an impressively authentic rendition.
Soprano Noemi Kiss as Dido, Queen of Carthage, was in fine voice, sculpting deep feeling into her phrases, with the lightest of vibrato — suited to the era. We truly believed her when she sang of her predicament, her growing love for Aeneas. The famous aria/lament, "When I am laid in earth" was positively heart-wrenching as "remember me" hung in the air hauntingly, ensuring that we would.
Grace Davidson as Belinda, in whom Dido confides, brought a refreshing innocence to her role, with a lovely clarity of voice only curiously tinged with a somewhat lisping "s," most noticeable in "Thanks to these lonesome vales "
Aeneas was fittingly tall, dark and handsome with British-Canadian baritone Alexander Dobson truly living the part. Moving with dramatic conviction, he wooed Dido with his impressive range — a delightfully rich low register and surprisingly sweet ease up top as well. His flawless enunciation made the lyrics jump off the stage.
Taylor transformed himself from conductor to Sorceress by unleashing his mop of wavy hair and adopting a wild-eyed facial expression. With deliberation and intense audacity, he put forth his distinctive voice in a spotless soprano range, with timbre and texture that are purely Taylor. His divinely voiced cohorts, witches Meara Conway, soprano and Meg Bragle, mezzo were deliciously conniving, chuckling over their conspiracy.
Agnes Zsigovics as the Second Woman brought the same ringing tone she employed in her earlier solo, "Pilgrim's Home" from Handel's Theodora. Her clean, assertive style sets her apart.
Tenor Benjamin Butterfield had but a cameo role as the sailor in the production, but how he milked it! With true nautical spirit, he urged his colleagues on with smiling singing and plenty of hand rubbing. Fortunately, we had another opportunity to hear this peerless artist in "Total Eclipse" from Handel's Samson in the first half of the program. We were immediately struck by the ease and passion of his delivery and the dazzling tone purity.
The epitome of control, the chorus ended this mesmerizing performance with a gossamer sadness that left the audience silent — until they erupted into a much-deserved standing ovation.

Are the Rolling Stones music's most photographed band? With the plethora of photo exhibits and books popping up around the band, one must wonder just how many times Mick Jagger's famous mug has been captured on film.
The latest Stones photo news: Band members will spend the 50th anniversary of their first gig at a special photo exhibit set to open in their honor on Thursday (July 12) in London.
London's Somerset House will showcase photographs of the Rolling Stones – concert shots, studio footage, outtakes – taken throughout the band's history. The exhibit will open to the public Friday (July 13), closing one month later on August 12th. Indeed, July 12th marks 50 years to the day since the band's first show as "The Rollin' Stones" at London's Marquee Club.
"This is our story of 50 fantastic years," the Stones said in a release. "We started out as a blues band playing the clubs and more recently we've filled the largest stadiums in the world with the kind of show that none of us could have imagined all those years ago."
Across the pond in New York City, an exhibit showcasing Stones pictures from famed rock photographer Jim Marshall opened last week (July 5) at the Steven Kasher Gallery. The show, titled Jim Marshall: The Rolling Stones and Beyond, runs through September 8 and accompanies a new book of previously unseen Marshall photographs, The Rolling Stones 1972.
Additionally, another Rolling Stones photo show, Rolling Stones 50 Years in Photography, opened at New York's Morrison Hotel this spring.
Also on the visual front, the Stones recently debuted a refreshed take on their iconic tongue logo, in celebration of their 50th anniversary.

myDropWizard.com: Drupal 6 security update for Secure Password Hashes!
As you may know, Drupal 6 has reached End-of-Life (EOL) which means the Drupal Security Team is no longer doing Security Advisories or working on security patches for Drupal 6 core or contrib modules - but the Drupal 6 LTS vendors are and we're one of them!
Today, there is a security release for Secure Password Hashes to fix a security bug.
By default in Drupal 6, all of a user's existing login sessions will be closed and the current session regenerated when a user changes their password. There was a bug in the Secure Password Hashes module that prevented this from happening.
With the help of the D6LTS vendors, a new version was released.
You can also download the patch the patch.
If you have a Drupal 6 site using the Views module, we recommend you update immediately! We have already deployed the patch for all of our Drupal 6 Long-Term Support clients. :-)
If you'd like all your Drupal 6 modules to receive security updates and have the fixes deployed the same day they're released, please check out our D6LTS plans.
Note: if you use the myDropWizard module (totally free!), you'll be alerted to these and any future security updates, and will be able to use drush to install them (even though they won't necessarily have a release on Drupal.org).

A Question of Ethics (3.0)
Rating: 5
Here's a bit of a delight: an adventure where there isn't a Bad Guy to defeat, rather there are two contending forces, neither of which is particularly good or particularly bad... and the party will have to decide which, if any, they are willing to help!
The background notes for the DM explain everything - it's a territorial dispute over an area that includes a wizard's tomb, with one lot wanting to turn the tomb into a base and t'other lot not being interested in the tomb at all, they're after a mineral nearby. But they won't talk, let alone share. A nearby town is holding a festival, which is assumed to be what gets the party into the area (although ther are other hooks if your lot aren't great festival-goers), and the module sets out to provide you with all the resources you need to let the party loose in the area and moderate whatever they decide to do... a neat way of handling a very 'open' plot.
These resources include notes on the town and the festival, which as well as the usual elements of a mediaeval fair includes an Arcane Challenge with a series of events for spell-slingers to test their prowess against each other. Naturally, a party wizard or sorcerer might like to try his hand... and others may be more interested in archery or fencing contests or even a cooking competition! Several NPC spellcasters are provided as opposition, along with notes on how they intend to address the challenges of the contest. If nobody from the party joins in, it can still make for an entertaining spectacle.
Just to add to the fun, there's another group of adventurers there, who are concerned by some encroaching stone giants and are trying to stir the town up to do something about them, and there is also a nasty disease spreading through the region. And, of course, there is the dispute that is at the heart of the plot. Everyone involved is detailed, along with what they are likely to do, how they will react to any interference, and what they are likely to be willing to negotiate about.
Finally, there's the wizard's tomb itself. This is mapped out (using a map from the Map-a-Week series on the Wizards of the Coast website, reproduced here although the original link still works at the time of writing) and is full of interesting things... and traps to guard them. Plenty of fun for those looking for a more traditional delve.
Ending with some notes on the consequences of some of the more likely party actions, this is a real gem of an adventure, with a lot packed into 11 pages!
Lullabot: Using the Template Method pattern in Drupal 8
Software design patterns are a very good way to standardize on known implementation strategies. By following design patterns you create expectations and get comfortable with the best practices. Even if you read about a design pattern and realize you have been using it for a long time, learning the formal definition will help you avoid eventual edge cases. Additionally, labeling the pattern will enhance communication, making it clearer and more effective. If you told someone about a foldable computer that you can carry around that contains an integrated trackpad, etc, you could have been more efficient by calling that a laptop.
I have already talked about design patterns in general and the decorator pattern in particular, and today I will tell you about the Template Method pattern. These templates have nothing to do with Drupal's templates in the theme system.
Imagine that we are implementing a social media platform, and we want to support posting messages to different networks. The algorithm has several common parts for posting, but the authentication and sending of actual data are specific to each social network. This is a very good candidate for the template pattern, so we decide to create an abstract base class, Network, and several specialized subclasses, Facebook, Twitter, …
In the Template Method pattern, the abstract class contains the logic for the algorithm. In this case we have several steps that are easily identifiable:
- Authentication. Before we can do any operation in the social network we need to identify the user making the post.
- Sending the data. After we have a successful authentication with the social network, we need to be able to send the array of values that the social network will turn into a post.
- Storing the proof of reception. When the social network responds to the publication request, we store the results in an entity.
The first two steps of the algorithm are very specific to each network. Facebook and Instagram may have a different authentication scheme. At the same time, Twitter and Google+ will probably have different requirements when sending data. Luckily, storing the proof of reception is going to be generic to all networks. In summary, we will have two abstract methods that will authenticate the request and send the data plus a method that will store the result of the request in an entity. More importantly, we will have the posting method that will do all the orchestration and call all these other methods.
One possible implementation of this (simplified for the sake of the example) could be:<?php namespace Drupal\template; use Drupal\Component\Serialization\Json; /** * Class Network. * * @package Drupal\template */ abstract class Network implements NetworkInterface { /** * The entity type manager. * * @var \Drupal\Core\Entity\EntityTypeManagerInterface. */ protected $entityTypeManager; /** * Publish the data to whatever network. * * @param PostInterface $post * A made up post object. * * @return bool * TRUE if the post was posted correctly. */ public function post(PostInterface $post) { // Authenticate before posting. Every network uses a different // authentication method. $this->authenticate(); // Send the post data and keep the receipt. $receipt = $this->sendData($post->getData()); // Save the receipt in the database. $saved = $this->storeReceipt($receipt); return $saved == SAVED_NEW || $saved == SAVED_UPDATED; } /** * Authenticates on the request before sending the post. * * @throws NetworkException * If the request cannot be authenticated. */ abstract protected function authenticate(); /** * Send the data to the social network. * * @param array $values * The values for the publication in the network. * * @return array * A receipt indicating the status of the publication in the social network. */ abstract protected function sendData(array $values); /** * Store the receipt data from the publication call. * * @return int * Either SAVED_NEW or SAVED_UPDATED (core constants), depending on the operation performed. * * @throws NetworkException * If the data was not accepted. */ protected function storeReceipt($receipt) { if ($receipt['status'] > 399) { // There was an error sending the data. throw new NetworkException(sprintf( '%s could not process the data. Receipt: %s', get_called_class(), Json::encode($receipt) )); } return $this->entityTypeManager->getStorage('network_receipts') ->create($receipt) ->save(); } }
The post public method shows how you can structure your posting algorithm in a very readable way, while keeping the extensibility needed to accommodate the differences between different classes. The specialized class will implement the steps (abstract methods) that make it different.<?php namespace Drupal\template; /** * Class Facebook. * * @package Drupal\template */ class Facebook extends Network { /** * {@inheritdoc} */ protected function authenticate() { // Do the actual work to do the authentication. } /** * {@inheritdoc} */ protected function sendData(array $values) { // Do the actual work to send the data. } }
After implementing the abstract methods, you are done. You have successfully implemented the template method pattern! Now you are ready to start posting to all the social networks.// Build the message. $message = 'I like the new article about design patterns in the Lullabot blog!'; $post = new Post($message); // Instantiate the network objects and publish. $network = new \Drupal\template\Facebook(); $network->post($post); $network = new \Drupal\template\Twitter(); $network->post($post);
As you can see, this is a behavioral pattern very useful to deal with specialization in a subclass for a generic algorithm.
To summarize, this pattern involves a parent class, the abstract class, and a subclass, called the specialized class. The abstract class implements an algorithm by calling both abstract and non-abstract methods.
- The non-abstract methods are implemented in the abstract class, and the abstract methods are the specialized steps that are subsequently handled by the subclasses. The main reason why they are declared abstract in the parent class is because the subclass handles the specialization, and the generic parent class knows nothing about how. Another reason is because PHP won't let you instantiate an abstract class (the parent) or a class with abstract methods (the specialized classes before implementing the methods), thus forcing you to provide an implementation for the missing steps in the algorithm.
- The design pattern doesn't define the visibility of these methods, you can declare them public or protected. If you declare these methods public, then you can surface them in an interface to make the base class abstract.
In one typical variation of the template pattern, one or more of the abstract methods are not declared abstract. Instead they are implemented in the base class to provide a sensible default. This is done when there is a shared implementation among several of the specialized classes. This is called a hook method (note that this has nothing to do with Drupal's hooks).
Coming back to our example, we know that most of the Networks use OAuth 2 as their authentication method. Therefore we can turn our abstract authenticate method into an OAuth 2 implementation. All of the classes that use OAuth 2 will not need to worry about authentication since that will be the default. The authenticate method will only be implemented in the specialized subclasses that differ from the common case. When we provide a default implementation for one of the (previously) abstract methods, we call that a hook method.
At this point you may be thinking that this is just OOP or basic subclassing. This is because the template pattern is very common. Quoting Wikipedia's words:
The Template Method pattern occurs frequently, at least in its simplest case, where a method calls only one abstract method, with object oriented languages. If a software writer uses a polymorphic method at all, this design pattern may be a rather natural consequence. This is because a method calling an abstract or polymorphic function is simply the reason for being of the abstract or polymorphic method.
You will find yourself in many situations when writing Drupal 8 applications and modules where the Template Method pattern will be useful. The classic example would be annotated plugins, where you have a base class, and every plugin contains the bit of logic that is specific for it.
I like the Template Method pattern because it forces you to structure your algorithm in a very clean way. At the same time it allows you to compare the subclasses very easily, since the common algorithm is contained in the parent (and abstract) class. All in all it's a good way to have variability and keep common features clean and organized.

This invention relates to a watercraft and more particularly to an improved watercraft powered by a pair of jet propulsion units.
It is well known that jet propulsion units have a number of advantages for use in watercraft, particularly for certain types of applications and environments. However, like conventional propeller units, there is a practical limit to the size which a jet propulsion can be constructed. Said another way, there are certain advantages in providing pairs of propulsion units rather than a single large propulsion unit. However, watercraft of the type previously proposed have not lent themselves to propulsion by a pair of jet propulsion units.
It is, therefore, a principal object of this invention to provide an improved watercraft construction that permits propulsion by a plurality of jet propulsion units.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a watercraft propelled by a plurality of jet propulsion units.
This invention is adapted to be embodied in a watercraft having a hull and a pair of jet propulsion units each mounted in the hull in generally parallel relationship to each other. Each of the jet propulsion units has an inlet for receiving water from a body of water in which the watercraft is operating, an impeller section and a discharge nozzle for discharging water from the jet propulsion unit for propelling the hull.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of a watercraft constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is an enlarged rear elevational view of the watercraft.
FIG. 3 is a top front perspective view of the lower hull portion with a part removed to more clearly show the configuration of the lower part thereof.
FIG. 4 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken generally along the line 4--4 but showing the full hull.
FIG. 5 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken along the line 5--5 in FIG. 3, again showing the full hull.
FIG. 6 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken through one of the jet propulsion units showing the unit in its normal position in solid lines and in its service or non propulsion position as shown in phantom lines and having portions of the jet propulsion unit broken away and shown in section.
FIG. 7 is an enlarged exploded perspective view of one of the jet propulsion units.
FIG. 8 is a cross sectional view taken along a plane corresponding to the plane of FIG. 4 and showing another embodiment of the invention.
Referring first to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 7, and initially to FIGS. 1 through 5, a jet propelled watercraft constructed in accordance with a first embodiment of the invention is identified generally by the reference numeral 11.
The watercraft 11 is comprised of a hull which may be formed from molded fiberglass reinforced resin or the like and which is comprised of a lower hull portion 12 and a deck 13. The hull 12 and deck 13 are conveniently affixed to each other in a suitable manner, as by means of an interlocking flange 14 formed around the periphery thereof. There is provided to the rear of the watercraft 11 a rider's area indicated generally at 15 in FIG. 1 which has a steering wheel 16 and other appropriate controls located on the dash thereof.
The hull 12 has generally a V configuration with a generally flat central portion 17 from which a pair of inclined side portions 18 extend. The side portions 18 are provided with one or more chines 19 so as to assist in stability. In addition, a chine or ledge 21 is formed at the outer periphery of the portions 18 where they join the upstanding sides of the hull. The deck portion 13 has a downwardly depressed area 22 which defines in part the rider's are 15 and which terminates at its lower end in a floor board 23.
In accordance with the invention, the watercraft 11 is propelled by a pair of jet propulsion units that are mounted in a tunnel 24 formed at the rear portion of the hull. The tunnel 24 is formed by a pair of upstanding side walls 25 that extend generally perpendicularly to the inclined hull portions 18 and an upper area 26 that has a configuration which is generally parallel to the lower portion of the hull. The tunnel 24, accordingly, provides an area that extends upwardly into the rider's area as may be readily apparent from the drawings and particularly FIG. 3.
A pair of jet propulsion units, each indicated generally by the reference numeral 27 is mounted in side by side in a parallel extending relationship within the tunnel 24. The jet propulsion units 27 are mounted outwardly adjacent the side walls 25 and have a configuration and operation as generally described in my copending application entitled "Water Jet Propulsion Unit", Ser. No. 489,361, filed Mar. 6, 1990 and assigned to the Assignee hereof. Specifically, each of the jet propulsion units 27 has a construction and operation as described and illustrated in the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 4 thereof. Reference may be had to that copending application, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference, for the details of the construction.
Each jet propulsion unit 27 is positioned to the rear of a vertically extending wall 28 that defines the forward end of the tunnel 24. A single internal combustion engine or a pair of internal combustion engines are supported forwardly of the wall 28 in an appropriate manner and drive drive shafts 29 (FIG. 6) that extend through openings in the walls 28. Referring now primarily to FIGS. 6 and 7, it will be noted that each jet propulsion unit 27 is comprised primarily of an outer housing 41 which may be of a unitary or fabricated construction. The outer housing 41 defines a water inlet portion 45 that terminates in a downwardly extending water inlet opening 46 that is defined by a peripheral flange 47. In the normal operating condition, the opening 46 and a portion of the inlet, 45 is disposed beneath the normal operating water level.
Rearwardly of the inlet portion 45, the housing 41 defines an impeller housing portion 48 in which an impeller 49 (FIG. 7) is supported for rotation in a suitable manner. The impeller 49 is affixed to an impeller shaft 51 which, in turn, extends forwardly through the water inlet portion 45 and through a cylindrical projection 52 of the housing 44. A pair of water seals 53 ar interposed between the impeller shaft 51 and the housing portion 52 so as to prevent leakage.
The impeller housing 48 terminates at its rearward end in a convergent section 54 to which a pivotally supported steering discharge nozzle 55 is journaled about a pair of vertically extending pivot pins 56. The steering nozzles 55 are steered from the steering wheel 16 by a suitable linkage system (not shown).
A support plate 59 is affixed to the rear side of the bulkhead 28 by threaded fasteners 61 and has a cylindrical flange 62 that is telescoped around the drive shaft 29.
At its rear end, the drive shaft 58 is connected by means of a universal joint, indicated generally by the reference numeral 63 to the impeller shaft 51. A yoke member 64 has a connection to the forward end of the impeller housing portion 52 and has a pair of bifurcated arms 65 that are pivoted to a pair of rearwardly extending arms 66 of the plate 59 by means of pivot pins 67. As a result of this connection, the entire jet propulsion units 27 may be pivoted about a transverse horizontally extending axis defined by the pivot pins 67 relative to the hull of the watercraft, for a reason which will be described. An elastic sealing boot 68 encircles the universal joint 63 and provides a watertight seal in this area.
A further flexible sealing boot 69 is provided around the jet propulsion unit portion 52 and the yoke 64 so as to provide good watertight construction while permitting relative rotation of the jet propulsion unit 27 about the axis of the impeller shaft 51 in a manner as will be described. The boots 68 and 69, therefore, act together so as to provide a good watertight seal and so as to permit the movements which will be described.
As should be readily apparent, the jet propulsion units 27 provide good power sources for the watercraft and nevertheless provides a very neat and clean appearance. When the watercraft 11 is in its normal operating mode, the water inlet portions 45 and inlet openings 46 of the jet propulsion units 27 will be submerged at least partially below the normal water level in which the watercraft is operating, which water level is shown in the drawings by the line 71. However, as a result of this submersion, foreign material and encrustation can occur on the jet propulsion unit such as barnacle formation. This is not at all desireable. Therefore, an arrangement is provided for pivoting the jet propulsion units 27 upwardly about the pivot axes described by the pivot pins 67 during periods of time when the watercraft is not in use. This mechanism is the same for each jet propulsion unit 27 and includes a plate 72 that is affixed to the rear of the hull 12 beneath the respective portion of the tunnel 24 and rearwardly of the water inlet opening 46 of the jet propulsion unit 27.
It should be noted that a seal arrangement 73 is carried by the peripheral flange 47 of the jet propulsion unit housing around the inlet opening 46 for sealing with the hull, the plate 72 and a horizontally extending flange when the unit is in its normal drive position, as shown in the solid line view of FIG. 6. This is important for insuring good efficiency of the jet propulsion unit 27.
The plate 72 has a pair of upwardly extending arcuate arms 74 that have flanges 75 at their upper end which are secured to the underside of the surface 26 of the hull which defines the tunnel 24. The arms 74 have arcuately shaped slots 77 which extend along a radius defined by the pivot points defined by the pins 67 that pivotally journal the jet propulsion unit 27. A support ring 78 encircles the jet propulsion unit and specifically the impeller housing portion 48 and journals it for rotation about an axis that is coincident with the rotational axis of the impeller shaft 51. The support ring 78 has a bracket portion 79 affixed to its upper end and which receives a pair of pins 81 for slidably supporting the support ring 78 in the slots 77 of the arms 74. In addition, a pair of hydraulic cylinders 82 are pivotally connected at one end to the pins 81 and at their opposite ends, by means of further pins 83 to a pair of lugs 84 formed on the plate 72.
When the cylinders 82 are extended or retracted, the respective jet propulsion unit 27 will be pivoted about the first axis defined by the pins 67 which are aligned with the universal joint 63 between its lower normal position as shown in the solid line view of FIG. 3 to a raised or out of the water storage, service position as shown in the phantom line view of this figure. When so raised, the unit opening 46 will be disposed above the water level 71 and hence the jet propulsion unit 27 will be raised out of the water and the problems as aforenoted will not occur. In addition, all water will drain out of the jet propulsion unit 27 and this will provide assurance against any problems.
In order to provide further assurance against water damage when the watercraft is not being operated and also so as to afford access for servicing, each jet propulsion unit 27 may be rotated about the aforedescribed pivotal axis defined by the support ring 78. To this end, an electric or hydraulic motor 85 is supported on the support ring 78 and has a driven gear 86 that is enmeshed with a ring gear 87 formed on the jet propulsion unit 31. When the motor 85 is operated, the entire jet propulsion unit 27 will rotate about the axis of the impeller shaft 51 while the boot 69 torsionally deflects so that the unit 27 may be positioned so that the water inlet portion 45 and inlet opening 46 instead of facing downwardly face upwardly. This will place the inlet opening 45 in such a direction that water cannot inadvertently enter the jet propulsion unit when it has been elevated.
This rotation also gives rise to the ability to service the jet propulsion units 27 by removing foreign particles from the impeller housing through the opening 46. To accomplish this, there are provided access openings 89 in the hull portion 26 that have access doors 91 (FIGS. 4 and 6) for servicing. The access doors 91 have a construction as best shown in FIG. 6 and the associated opening 89 has a hinge 93 for pivotally supporting a closure plate 94 for movement between a closed position as shown and an open or service position as shown in phantom in FIG. 6. A turnbuckle type fastener 95 cooperates with the hull for holding the closure plate 94 in its closed position.
An operator may conveniently open either of the access doors 91 and obtain access to the respective jet propulsion unit 27 when it has been pivoted about the pivot axis defined by the pivot pins 67 through actuation of the cylinder assemblies 82 by a suitable control and when the motor 85 has been rotated so as to swing the jet propulsion unit 27 to its service position as shown in phantom in FIG. 6. The operator may easily reach into the inlet opening 46 and clear any entrapped material from the impeller housing. In addition to permitting the jet propulsion units 27 to be swung up for servicing as aforedescribed and for protection when not in use, the hydraulic motors 82 may be operated so as to provide trim adjustment for the units 27.
The arms 74 in addition to providing a path of movement for the jet propulsion units 27 as they pivot about the axis defined by the pivot pins 67, also serve to take side thrusts from the jet propulsion unit during its operation. Thus, the assembly is quite rigid even though the jet propulsion units 27 may pivot both about a horizontally extending transverse axis and a longitudinally extending horizontal axis. It should be noted that it is desirable to effect pivotal movement about the transverse pivot axis before rotation of the jet propulsion unit 27 about the longitudinal axis is accomplished in order to minimize wear on the seal 73. In the illustrated embodiment, the seal 73 is being described as being carried by the flange 47 of the jet propulsion unit 27. It is to be understood, of course, that the seal ca be fixed to the hull of the watercraft rather than the jet propulsion unit. In addition, various other types of seal arrangements can be employed without deviating from the invention.
It should be readily apparent the that use of the dual jet propulsion units 2 provides strong propulsion for the watercraft 11 and a neat overall watercraft appearance. In addition, since each of the jet propulsion units 27 is both rotatable and pivotal, the jet propulsion units can be easily serviced and also can be tilted and rotated up out of the water when the watercraft is not being operated so as to avoid encrustation. Although in the described embodiment the jet propulsion units are both pivotal and rotatable, in some instances it may be possible merely to have the units pivotal or only rotatable only so as to achieve the aforenoted results.
In the embodiment of FIGS. 1 through 7 a single tunnel 24 was provided in the lower hull portion 12 for housing both of the jet propulsion units 27. In some instances, it may be desirable to provide separate tunnel portions so that the area between them will be filled. FIG. 8 shows such an embodiment. Since this embodiment is generally the same as the previously described embodiment, only a cross sectional view corresponding to the view of FIG. 4 is believed necessary to permit those skilled in the art to understand the construction and operation of this embodiment. Also, since the jet propulsion units for this watercraft may be identical to those of the previously described embodiments or the variations mentioned therein, they have not been illustrated. Also, components of the watercraft which are the same or substantially the same as the previously described embodiment have been identified by the same reference numerals.
Referring now specifically to FIG. 8, it should be noted that the interior configuration of the watercraft in the area where the tunnel is formed is the same as the previously described embodiment. That is, the passenger compartment has extending into it a raised portion formed by the inclined surfaces 26 and side walls 25. However, these constructions provide a pair of separate tunnel portions 101 that are separated by a generally pie shaped segment formed by the lower flat portion 17 of the hull and a pair of upstanding walls 102 that extend from the adjacent sides of the inclined portions 18 u to the upper wall 26. Hence, the open center of the tunnel of the previously described embodiment is avoided with this construction. In all other regards, this embodiment is the same. Further description of it is not believed to be necessary.
It should be readily apparent from the foregoing description that the embodiments of the invention are particularly useful in providing a watercraft hull that has a neat and smooth appearance and yet one which can transmit high driving thrusts through the use of the two jet propulsion units. In addition, the moveable support for the jet propulsion units permits their servicing as well as their being brought up out of the water when the watercraft is not in use to avoid encrustation. Although several embodiments of the invention have been illustrated and described, various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, as defined by the appended claims.

The Nile Cruise we had booked was cancelled due to the political situation in Egypt. We were offered a partial refund plus a credit note for the remainder of the deposit we had paid. We found a short Madeira break the same day and used the refund and credit note plus some extra cash to pay for the new trip. So far, so good. The only downside to these transactions was that Qwertytravel's computer could not keep up with what had taken place and we were invoiced in error for £550. A quick email to the Administration Department pointing out that the "high speed idiot" had got it wrong resolved the situation. A classic case of "Garbage in, garbage out". Overall I guess we're happy so far.
