Wall Mounted Heat Pump Water Heater - A new range of flat-panel LCD and Plasma tv universal wall-mount options have been brought into the industry by Sanus Systems. These flat-panel TV mounts are of state-of-the-art technologies and therefore are elegantly designed being compatible together with the FDMI, VESA- TV viewing experience more pleasurable, significantly safer and comfortable would be made by MIS standards. Tilting kind wall mounts are always helpful when there's undesirable reflections of light or an issue of glare onto the TV set.
It's universally accepted that Tilting kind Wall Mounts bring out smooth and elegance to the drawing room. One should keep in mind that weight and the dimensions of the flat-panel TV set need to be taken into account while choosing the best wall mount since the expensive TV set right down onto the floor might be dropped by selecting a mount that is wrong. Sanus Techniques, as as part of of Tilting Wall Mounts, gives wall mounting options extensively under different classes.
They have been designed particularly for various weight-tilt-security mixtures. You will find specific versions here for TVs that are stubby. The Medium Tilting Wall Mount is designed for 26"-42" flat-panel TV up to 100 lbs. The only one product in Little Tilting Wall-Mount matches 13"-23" flatpanel TV up to 50 lbs.
The Adjustable Digital Axis technologies of Sanus Systems was exclusively designed so the shift in the middle of mass of the Mount-TV while tilting is compensated. To tilt the TV, simply pulling the top of the TV forward to produce a spring-loaded latch, then tightening the adjustment knob to support the it in spot is enough. The Click- Stand function eases cable installation and maintenance by keeping the TV far from the wall.

NPWS closed out this action-packed weekend Sunday afternoon October 14th with a trip down to Christiana, DE and their Delaware affiliate Funkdafied Wrestling Federation, as FWF celebrated their 10th anniversary with "Funk-A-Mania X", and one of the largest crowds FWF has ever seen packed the Christiana Fire Company Hall.
The show opened with FWF General Manager "Mr. Entertainment" J.D. Smoothie greeting the fans and thanking them for supporting FWF these ten years.
The opening contest was a battle of big men, as Lumberjack Monroe took on
"Mr. Varsity" Jeff Noyze. The two big men pounded on each other from
the opening bell, with Noyze supplying most of the offense but could
not pin Lumberjack. In the end, Noyze missed a giant elbow drop, and
that was enough for Lumberjack to flatten him with a splash and get the
Winner: Lumberjack Monroe
The second match was
a Fatal Four-Way contest for the FWF Cruiserweight Championship, as the
champion "Black Atlas" Cocky Johnson took on challengers Eddie
"Spaghetti" Franken & "Too Hot" Steve Scott & "The White Urkel"
B. Fehrm. At first, former tag-team partners Johnson and Fehrm worked
together to ward off the challenge of Eddie and Steve, but when one
went for the pin, the other stopped him, and the partnership broke down
quickly into a final fight. Fehrm took down Johnson with a Nerd Cutter,
then Steve Scott superkicked
Fehrm and took him down with a back suplex, but Eddie broke up the pin.
Eddie hit a Spaghetti Neckbreaker on Scott, but Johnson broke up the
pin and took down both Fehrm and Eddie with a double DDT, then took
down all three opponents in succession with RKO's, then covered Scott
for the pin.
Winner and still FWF Cruiserweight Champion: "Black Atlas" Cocky Johnson
third match was a special challenge match as Chris "Boom Boom" Powers
took on the new co-holder of the NPWS Tag-Team Titles, "Retro Rocker"
Rikki Roxx. The two young stars put on a high-flying and hard-hitting
back and forth battle. In the end, Powers blocked a Crisis Kick from
Roxx and took him down with a powerbomb, then crushed him into the mat
with a flying stomp and got the 1-2-3.
Winner: Chris "Boom Boom" Powers
fourth match was a Tag-Team Contenders Match as the team of Phat And
Funky ("Phat Daddy" Mack Williams & The Funky White Boy) took
the team of Jersey Splash (NPWS Jersey Shore Champion "The Love
Machine" Nicky Oceans & Jeff "Cannonball" Guerrero) who were
accompanied by their manager "The Alpha Dog" Mike Manning and FWF
Tag-Team Champions The 2 Rude
Dudes ("Corrupted" Corey Havoc & Rampage Rogers). Phat Daddy
Funky wanted a manager of their own, and they noticed WWE Hall
The Iron Sheik sitting in the back signing autographs, and asked him if
he would be their manager for the night, and he happily accepted and
came to ringside. The Dudes were not contracted to be at ringside at
all, so referee Ruff Ryder ejected them. Funky and Phat Daddy dominated
Oceans early on, but a trip of Phat Daddy from Mike Manning on the
outside turned
the tide in favor of Oceans and Cannonball. At one point, Oceans
slapped a Camel Clutch on Phat Daddy, but an enraged Iron Sheik whacked
Oceans in the head with his cane to break that up. Phat Daddy endured
more double-teaming from Oceans and Cannonball until he knocked
Cannonball down with a dropkick, and tagged in Funky. Funky cleaned
house on Oceans and tossed him out of the ring, then hit a flying
bulldog on Cannonball and covered him for the 1-2-3.
Winners: Phat And Funky ("Phat Daddy" Mack Williams & The Funky White Boy)
The 2 Rude Dudes returned to the ring and joined Oceans and Cannonball in attacking Phat Daddy and Funky, until former ECW stars Tommy Dreamer and Balls Mahoney ran out from the back and chased the attackers away.
The fifth match was an Over-The-Top-Rope Battle Royal
featuring Private Julio Jackson,
Jeff "Cannonball" Guerrero, Ole Skool, Mikey D, "Retro Rocker" Rikki
Roxx, Eddie "Spaghetti" Franken, Lightnig X, "Phat Daddy" Mack
Williams, "The Love Machine" Nicky Oceans, and Kanus. After eliminating
most of his competition, the seemingly unstoppable Kanus eliminated
Mikey D. for the victory.
Winner: Kanus
sixth match was for the NPWS Heavyweight Title, as champion The Atomic
Dog defended the belt against Mikey D. Atomic Dog dominated at the
start and took the fight to the outside, where Mikey was able to
reverse a whip by Dog into the ringpost and gain the upper hand. But
Dog powered back up and regained the upper hand, and after a series of
JYD-style headbutts, Dog hit a Thumpin' Powerslam on Mikey and pinned
him 1-2-3.
Winner and still FWF Heavyweight Champion: The Atomic Dog
seventh match was the first of the two main event matches, a special
challenge match issued at the last FWF show, as "Mr. Entertainment"
J.D. Smoothie took on TNA/Impact Wrestling star "Jersey Shore" Robbie
E. Robbie informed the crowd that even though the Impact Wrestling
"Bound For Glory"
Pay-Per-View was occurring tonight, he chose to be part of FWF's tenth
anniversary, which brought cheers from the crowd. But then Robbie said
that when he saw all the "hamsters" in the crowd, and the one standing
across from him in the ring, he realized he had made a terrible
mistake. This brought loud boo's from the crowd, and Robbie charged at
Smoothie. Anxious to defend the honor of his promotion and the fans,
Smoothie took the fight to Robbie, and the two battled all the way
across the Fire Company Hall, and even outside to the equipment trucks
before finally returning to the ring. Robbie dominated most of the
offense but was unable to put away the tenacious Smoothie. Then after
escaping a sleeper hold, Smoothie went on the offensive and leveled
Robbie with a series of kicks and clotheslines. Robbie tried to
interrupt the momentum with a trip-up and pin attempt with his feet on
the ropes, but referee Ruff Ryder caught him. An enraged Robbie shoved
Ryder, who shoved him right back. Robbie lifted Smoothie onto the top
turnbuckle and went for a superplex, but Smoothie shoved him off and
hit his Leg Drop Across The Delaware on Robbie, and Ryder counted a
quick 1-2-3 for Smoothie.
Winner: "Mr. Entertainment" J.D. Smoothie
Smoothie once again thanked the fans for their support these past ten years.
The final match of the afternoon was the other main event
match, a Non-Title Hardcore Tag-Team Grudge Match, as FWF Tag-Team
Champions The 2 Rude Dudes ("Corrupted" Corey Havoc & Rampage
Rogers), with their
manager "The Alpha Dog" Mike Manning and their "personal trainer" Nicky
Oceans, took on Team Extreme (former ECW hardcore icons Balls Mahoney
& "The Innovator Of Violence" Tommy Dreamer). Balls and Havoc
started off with an exchange of wrestling holds which Balls dominated
(it should be noted that although Balls' following is mainly for
hardcore wrestling, he is a skilled mat technician as well). Balls and
Dreamer worked over Rogers, until a missed elbow drop by Dreamer
enabled Havoc and Rampage to go on the offensive against Dreamer.
Dreamer withstood the assault, and when Rogers went for a huge elbow
drop from the top rope, Dreamer rolled out of the way and tagged in
Balls who cleaned house on Havoc and Rampage. All four men brawled in
the ring, and Mike Manning attempted to jump up on the ring apron and
break up the momentum, but Balls knocked him off the apron with a right
hand. Dreamer leveled Havoc with a DDT, but Nicky Oceans jumped into
the ring and interrupted the count. Oceans seized Dreamer's kendo stick
and swung it at Dreamer, but Dreamer kicked Oceans in the gut and
retrieved the kendo stick and slugged Oceans and Rogers with it, then
he and Balls gave Rogers a double-DDT and pinned him 1-2-3.
Winners: Team Extreme (Balls Mahoney & "The Innovator Of Violence" Tommy Dreamer)

Steven DeLuca's two-year tenure as publisher of Rolling Stone ended yesterday after what magazine executives described a flare-up with Jann Wenner, the magazine's founder.
Mr. DeLuca "will exit his position at Wenner Media effective today," a company statement said, noting that his two-year contract was up. "Wenner Media and DeLuca have mutually decided not to renew his agreement."
The precipitating event in Mr. DeLuca's departure, according to people who know both him and Mr. Wenner, was a dispute over the magazine's coming celebration of its 1,000th issue in May. Neither Mr. Wenner nor Mr. DeLuca was available for comment.
The magazine had been planning a lavish party at Rockefeller Center for the occasion, the kind of showy affair that many believe builds confidence among advertisers in a magazine's brand. Mr. DeLuca, who was associate publisher of Vanity Fair before moving to Rolling Stone, had been promoting the party and drumming up excitement.
But Mr. Wenner, according to current and former officials of Wenner Media, decided that Rockefeller Center would be too costly and switched the event to a lower-profile venue. Mr. DeLuca objected to the move, they argued and Mr. Wenner fired him, these officials said. The magazine's circulation has been flat since 2000, though it enjoyed a recent uptick last year to about 1.3 million subscribers. But the advertising environment is choppy for all magazines and the outlook uncertain.
The magazine, long identified with baby boomers, has struggled to stay relevant to a younger audience. Officials said that the most recent cover, featuring aging rock star Neil Young, proved to be a poor seller at the newsstand.
The magazine has been eclipsed within the Wenner Media firmament by US Weekly, the celebrity and gossip magazine that is less central to Mr. Wenner's identity than Rolling Stone. US Weekly is more profitable than Rolling Stone and its circulation has climbed to about 1.6 million.Continue reading the main story
Since he founded Rolling Stone in 1967, Mr. Wenner, who is 60 and a very hands-on manager, has outlasted virtually everyone else associated with it, including five publishers over the last quarter-century.Continue reading the main story

Ryder Wright earns back-to-back Calgary Stampede saddle bronc wins
American Ryder Wright has taken control of Pool B with just one run remaining for the last group of saddle bronc riders.
The Milford, Utah, native shot to the top on Thursday at the Calgary Stampede with back-to-back winning rides. His second-run score of 92.00 and third-run score of 90.00 were the best of the week so far from both pools.
Ryder leads with $14,500 in earnings, followed by his older brother Rusty Wright in second with $9,000.
Rusty has put down three consistently strong rides (86.50, 84.50, 87.50) to put himself in good standing to advance to the final on Showdown Sunday.
He tied for second on Thursday with Wade Sundell of Boxholm, Iowa, who currently sits in third place with $8,500.
Top-ranked rider Jacobs Crawley of Boerne, Texas dropped one spot to fourth after posting a disappointing score of 79.00 to bring his total earnings to $5,000.
Pool B wraps up Friday, with the top-four competitors punching their tickets directly to Showdown Sunday. The remaining riders will compete on Wild Card Saturday for a second chance to advance.

The Tomos Sprint
I was in a local bicycle shop the other day and was surprised to see a couple of Tomos mopeds on the showroom floor. Not only are they still importing mopeds into this country, they're still making a quality moped of the sort that flooded the US in the 1970s- right down to the 2-stroke 50cc engine. Thanks to a new A55 engine design and a tiny catalytic converter in the exhaust, Tomos engines still meet emissions requirements in every state except California.
The most basic Tomnos model, and the one that most resembles the Puch (and other) mopeds of the 1970s is the Sprint, seen above. And just like on those 1970s mopeds, the Sprint owner has to mix oil and gas in the proper ratio when fueling up- no fancy oil injection here. But for around $1050, it's hard to fault these machines. The quality is much better than the typical cheap Chinese moped of the sort that are now flooding the market, and it costs half or a third what a good Japanese, Italian, or Taiwanese moped would run. And like those great Italian mopeds of the past, there are a lot of aftermarket tweaks and mods available to turn this 28mph commuter into a 40+mph screamer.

Best vehicle I have owned
By Steve on Monday, December 28, 2015Great luxury sedan value. I compared this vehicle to the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-class. All had their advantages. I liked the BMW styling the best, the Mercedes had a fantastic interior but the Audi did well in all categories. What finally sold me was the value. For several thousand less, I was able to get a sun roof, NAV, and heated leather seats. Other standard features were options on the other two cars. The ride in the Audi A4 is very luxurious and it sticks to the road in any weather conditions. It is an absolute pleasure to drive and I look forward to any trip. I haven't owned it long enough to comment on reliability or cost of ownership but I did get the maintenance package ($800) which pays for the first four major checkups--good deal. Love this car.

I would buy it again
By Ash on Wednesday, November 02, 2011I absolutely love my car. I moved to the city, so I need to sell it, but I hate parting with it. It drives amazing in the snow and rain and I would recommend it to anyone. Comfortable, great sound system and quick pick up.

Are you up for some local theatre, right in your backyard, where you weren't expecting it? Grab some tea and a biscuit at a local teahouse, or even book dinner for two at any of the local restaurants in Ajax's quaint Pickering Village, and then take a stroll down Church Street. You'll soon arrive upon the newly renovated modern live theatre, the St. Francis Centre, now home to Ajax Community Theatre and prepare to be entertained! The Centre, formally the site of St. Francis de Sales Catholic church, will debut ACT's exciting 10th season lineup which promises to delight, from the comedy thriller The Game's Afoot (Nov 16-25), to the classic drama of 12 Angry Men (Feb 15 – 24, 2018) and closing out with the popular comedy Calendar Girls (Apr 19 – 28, 2018).
From its humble beginnings many years ago rehearsing and performing at the Village Community Centre to its debut at the St. Francis Centre, ACT has come a long way from its local roots. Part of ACT's success continues to be its strong ties to the community while nurturing the relationships that helped get them started, especially with the Town of Ajax, which continues to support ACT's many endeavors, including the popular annual Spirit Walk. As well, their recent participation in Pumpkinville gave the group a good opportunity to meet the many residents who have attended the ACT shows, along with introducing themselves to a whole new potential audience.
As an emerging GTA arts scene theatre company, with the long-held philosophy of 'theatre for everyone', ACT's choice for its new lineup is no surprise with a mélange of theatrical genres. President Mark Salonius anticipates drawing not only new audiences to such a diverse mix of entertainment but also hopefully many new local actors. Each production calls for bigger casts than previous seasons. Not only will actors be enticed to the many new on-stage opportunities at the St. Francis Centre this year, but they will be thrilled to learn that ACT will debut its participation in the well-known ACTCO Festival, bringing their local status to a whole new level. The festival will allow actors to experience the adjudication process with their winter production of 12 Angry Men, along with a bit of friendly competition with other GTA community theatres, and a bit of networking to boot at the annual gala held in Spring 2018.
And getting the word out that ACT in Ajax is open for great entertainment, not only for local audiences but throughout the GTA, has been front and centre for this year's new Board providing some strong ideas on exposure and marketing. Getting theatre to everyone with a focus on increasing audiences and continuing to liaise with the community through opening night galas, volunteer appreciation events, and increasing their digital and online presence was the main focus after their recent annual general meeting. "It's a great fun group" Salonius added when talking about the camaraderie of the ACT Board and many volunteers who comprise this theatre group motivated towards another successful season, which will also include a Youth Group portion to their 2017/2018 lineup. With the hopes of taking on full scale musicals in future seasons, ACT's first Youth Group startup will, on a smaller scale engage younger talent while exposing local audiences to musical theatre with cabaret style productions, as part of their entertainment lineup for years to come.
With so many great changes, and a new and exciting team energizing Ajax Community Theatre, the 2017/2018 season promises to be an exciting one, with a commitment to provide the caliber of entertainment Ajax and Durham residents have come to know. Check out their website for more information and tickets.

Have a Holly Jolly Wednesday..
It's the best day of the week..
I don't know if there'll be shipping woes..
But here's your last Poyo spec of the year..
Seriously, what did I say a few weeks back.. song writer in my blood. Should of been a song writer. Maybe in a past life. We should really get on with the picks of the week though.
DC/Vertigo Pick
Batgirl #18 Middleton Variant is my DC pick of the week. This is just a great cover with Harley Quinn on the cover. Middleton has his fan followers now so this one is a must for most fans. This is already selling out online so it could be hard to come by for some who don't have shops near them.
Also out this week is DC's Doomsday Clock #2 which should not be overlooked. This is the crossover event of the Watchmen into the DC universe.
Another book we should pay attention to is Hawkman Found #1 which is a Dark Nights Metal tie-in book. DC has a lot going on right now within their universe so we find new characters introduced and old characters coming back to life, which can impact past, present and future books potential on the spec market.
Marvel Pick
Phoenix Resurrection Artgerm Variant is this weeks Marvel pick of the week. This will be very easy to get as most shops order enough for the Artgerm demand. What will be more challenging is finding the virgin variant of this cover (see my avoids).
Amazing Spider-Man #793 is also on my radar. Spider-Man appears to have been compromised by Maniac. These could be key issues for future events and or movies.
I also can't go without mentioning the new Star Wars The Last Jedi Storms of Crait #1 book that hits stands this week as well. If I dropped all Marvel books, Star Wars books would be the one book I likely still continue to pick up for the personal collection. Now that Disney is pumping out movies, any book and any title from the comics could turn key.
Indie Pick
Black Eyed Kids #15 is my Indie pick this week.
This is a really slow week for independent and small publisher books but here's to hoping for a strong 2018 that is upon us.
Black Eyed Kids is one of those books that's just been a great read though. I've been binge reading these (I wait for 4-5 issues to read more at a time).
You can't also beat the fact that Francesco Francavilla does the covers for these, well, most of them.
Small Publisher Pick
X-O Manowar #10 is my small publisher pick because well, if you're not reading this book then you are just missing out.
Matt Kindt is nailing this new series and volume. The artwork is amazing as well from Renato Guedes.
This is one of Valiants best series and characters. Now we just need a movie? Where's our X-O Manowar movie? Are you reading this Valiant? Movie + X-O Manowar = Awesomeness.
Now on with the dreaded "avoid" pick, every writer and artist worst nightmare when it comes to selling their hard work.
This week I'm gonna tell you to avoid the Phoenix Resurrection Artgerm Virgin Variant. Unless you actually find this at cover price, do not spend a dime more on this. Think about it, let's say you pay Midtown's price of $212.50 after their discount on this virgin cover. From their $4.24 price tag on the regular cover, you're paying almost 5000% premium on essentially the same cover, minus the title, barcode and price details along with Jean wearing a green outfit.
Now, not all shops are gonna try and swing $200+ for this cover but seriously. If one were to spend 5000% premium, it'd be like buying a $30k red car for 1.5 million dollars that gets you a green paint job instead of red and the shop removes the car emblems and pin stripes from it. That's a great deal right? Wrong.
Hope everyone's holidays were good to them. I'm happy with a few new vinyl records for the collection and some books (not comic books) to read.

Once you begin to program Java for a while, you'll discover that making all your classes, methods, and variables public can become quite annoying. The larger your program becomes, and the more you reuse your classes for new projects, the more you will want some sort of control over their visibility. One of the large-scale solutions to this problem, packages, must wait until tomorrow, but today you'll explore what you can do within a class.
Today, you'll learn how to create and use the following:
Modifiers are prefixes that can be applied in various combinations to the methods and variables within a class and, some, to the class itself.
There is a long and varied list of modifiers. The order of modifiers is irrelevant to their meaningyour order can vary and is really a matter of taste. Pick a style and then be consistent with it throughout all your classes. Here is the recommended order:
<access> static abstract synchronized <unusual> final native
where <access> can be public, protected, or private, and <unusual> can be volatile or transient.
All the modifiers are essentially optional; none have to appear in a declaration. Good style suggests adding as many as are needed to best describe the intended use of, and restrictions on, what you're declaring. In some special situations (inside an interface, for example, as described tomorrow), certain modifiers are implicitly defined for you, and you needn't type themthey will be assumed to be there.
The synchronized modifier is covered on Day 18; it has to do with multithreaded methods. The native modifier is covered on Day 20; it specifies that a method is implemented in the native language of your computer (usually C), rather than in Java. How <access> modifiers apply to classes is covered tomorrow.
Access control is about controlling visibility. When a method or variable is visible to another class, its methods can reference (call or modify) that method or variable. To "protect" a method or variable from such references, you use the four levels of visibility described in the next sections. Each, in turn, is more restrictive, and thus provides more protection than the one before it.
Learning your four P's (public, package, protected, and private) comes down to understanding the fundamental relationships that a method or variable within a class can have to the other classes in the system.
Because any class is an island unto itself, the first of these relationships builds on the distinction between the inside and the outside of the class. Any method or variable is visible to the class in which it is defined, but what if you want to make it visible to all the classes outside this class?
The answer is obvious: simply declare the method or variable to have public access. Almost every method and variable defined this week will be declared, for simplicity's sake, public. When you use any of the examples provided in your own code, you'll probably decide to restrict this access further. Because you're just learning now, it's not a bad idea to begin with the widest possible access you can imagine (public or package) and then narrow it down as you gain design experience, until the access that each of your variables and methods should have becomes second nature. Here are some examples of public declarations:
public class APublicClass { public int aPublicInt; public String aPublicString; public float aPublicMethod() { . . . } }
A variable or method with public access has the widest possible visibility. Anyone can see it. Anyone can use it. Of course, this may not always be what you wantwhich brings us to the next level of protection.
In C, there is the notion of hiding a name so that only the functions within a given source file can see it. In Java, source files are replaced by the more explicit notion of packages, which can group classes (you learn about these tomorrow). For now, all you need to know is that the relationship you want to support is of a class to its fellow implementors of one piece of a system, library, or program (or to any other grouping of related classes). This defines the next level of increased protection and narrowed visibility.
Due to an idiosyncrasy of the Java language, this next level of access has no precise name. It is indicated by the lack of any access modifier in a declaration. Historically, it has been called various suggestive names, including "friendly" and "package." The latter usage seems most appropriate and is the one used here. Perhaps in a later release of the system, it will be possible to say package explicitly, but for now it is simply the default protection when none has been specified.
Most of the declarations you've seen in the past two weeks have used this default level of protection. Here's a reminder of what they look like:
public class ALessPublicClass { int aPackageInt = 2; String aPackageString = "a 1 and a "; float aPackageMethod() { // no access modifier means "package" . . . } } public class AClassInTheSamePackage { public void testUse() { ALessPublicClass aLPC = new ALessPublicClass(); System.out.println(aLPC.aPackageString + aLPC.aPackageInt); aLPC.aPackageMethod(); // all of these are A.O.K. } }
Why was package made a default? When you're designing a large system and you partition your classes into work groups to implement smaller pieces of that system, the classes often need to share a lot more with one another than with the outside world. The need for this level of sharing is common enough that it was made the default level of protection.
What if you have some details of your implementation that you don't want to share with these "friends"? The answer to this question leads us naturally to the next level of protection.
The third relationship is between a class and its present and future subclasses. These subclasses are much closer to a parent class than to any other "outside" classes for the following reasons:
No one else is allowed the privilege of this level of access; they must be content with the public (inter)face that the class presents. To support the level of intimacy reserved for subclasses, modern programming languages have invented an intermediate level of access between the previous two levels and full privacy. This level gives more protection and narrows visibility still further, but still allows subclasses full access. In Java, this level of protection is called, appropriately enough, protected:
public class AProtectedClass { private protected int aProtectedInt = 4; private protected String aProtectedString = "and a 3 and a "; private protected float aProtectedMethod() { . . . } } public class AProtectedClassSubclass extends AProtectedClass { public void testUse() { AProtectedClassSubclass aPCs = new AProtectedClassSubclass(); System.out.println(aPCs.aProtectedString + aPCs.aProtectedInt); aPCs.aProtectedMethod(); // all of these are A.O.K. } } public class AnyClassInTheSamePackage { public void testUse() { AProtectedClassSubclass aPCs = new AProtectedClassSubclass(); System.out.println(aPCs.aProtectedString + aPCs.aProtectedInt); aPCs.aProtectedMethod(); // NONE of these are legal } }
Even though AnyClassInTheSamePackage is in the same package as AProtectedClass, it is not a subclass of it (it's a subclass of Object). Only subclasses are allowed to see, and use, private protected variables and methods. The declarations in AProtectedClass are prefixed by private protected because in 1.0 adding private is required to get the behavior described here. protected alone allows both subclasses and classes in the same package access, thus providing a combined (fifth) level of protection.
One of the most striking examples of the need for this special level of access is when you are supporting a public abstraction with your class. As far as the outside world is concerned, you have a simple, public interface (via methods) to whatever abstraction you've built for your users. A more complex representation, and the implementation that depends on it, is hidden inside. When subclasses extend and modify this representation, or even just your implementation of it, they need to get to the underlying, concrete representation and not simply to the abstraction:
public class SortedList { private protected BinaryTree theBinaryTree; . . . public Object[] theList() { return theBinaryTree.asArray(); } public void add(Object o) { theBinaryTree.addObject(o); } } public class InsertSortedList extends SortedList { public void insert(Object o, int position) { theBinaryTree.insertObject(o, position); } }
Without being able to access theBinaryTree directly, the insert() method would have had to get the list as an array of Objects, via the public method theList(), allocate a new, bigger array, and insert the new object by hand. By "seeing" that its parent is using a BinaryTree to implement the sorted list, it can call upon BinaryTree's built-in method insertObject() to get the job done.
Some languages, such as CLU, have experimented with more explicit ways of "raising" and "lowering" your level of abstraction to solve this same problem in a more general way. In Java, protected solves only a part of the problem, by allowing you to separate the concrete from the abstract; the rest is up to you.
The final relationship comes full circle, back to the distinction between the inside and outside of the class. private is the most narrowly visible, highest level of protection that you can getthe diametric opposite of public. private methods and variables cannot be seen by any class other than the one in which they are defined:
public class APrivateClass { private int aPrivateInt; private String aPrivateString; private float aPrivateMethod() { . . . } }
This may seem extremely restrictive, but it is, in fact, a commonly used level of protection. Any private data, internal state, or representations unique to your implementationanything that shouldn't be directly shared with subclassesis private. Remember that an an object's primary job is to encapsulate its datato hide it from the world's sight and limit its manipulation. The best way to do that is to make as much data as private as possible. Your methods can always be less restrictive, as you'll see below, but keeping a tight rein on your internal representation is important. It separates design from implementation, minimizes the amount of information one class needs to know about another to get its job done, and reduces the extent of the code changes you need when your representation changes.
A good rule of thumb is that unless an instance variable is constant (you'll soon see how to specify this), it should almost certainly be private. If you don't do this, you have the following problem:
public class AFoolishClass { public String aUsefulString; . . . // set up the useful value of the string }
This class may have thought of setting up aUsefulString for the use of other classes, expecting them to (only) read it. Because it isn't private, however, they can say:
AFoolishClass aFC = new AFoolishClass(); aFC.aUsefulString = "oops!";
Because there is no way to specify separately the level of protection for reading from and writing to instance variables, they should almost always be private.
If instance variables are private, how do you give access to them to the outside world? The answer is to write "accessor" methods:
public class ACorrectClass { private String aUsefulString; public String aUsefulString() { // "get" the value return aUsefulString; } private protected void aUsefulString(String s) { // "set" the value aUsefulString = s; } }
Using methods to access an instance variable is one of the most frequently used idioms in object-oriented programs. Applying it liberally throughout all your classes repays you numerous times over with more robust and reusable programs. Notice how separating the reading and writing of the instance variable allows you to specify a public method to return its value and a protected method to set it. This is often a useful pattern of protections, because everyone probably needs to be able to ask for the value, but only you (and your subclasses) should be able to change it. If it is a particularly private piece of data, you could make its "set" method private and its "get" method protected, or any other combination that suits the data's sensitivity to the light of the outside world.
Whenever you want to append to your own instance variable, try writing this:
aUsefulString(aUsefulString() + " some appended text");
Just like someone outside the class, you're using accessor methods to change aUsefulString. Why do this?
You protected the variable in the first place so that changes to your representation would not affect the use of your class by others, but it still will affect the use of your class by you! You should be protected from knowing too much about your own representation, except in those few places that actually need to know about it. Then, if you must change something about aUsefulString, it will not affect every use of that variable in your class (as it would without accessor methods); rather, it affects only the implementations of its accessor methods.
One of the powerful side effects of maintaining this level of indirection in accessing your own instance variables is that if, at some later date, some special code needs to be performed each time aUsefulString is accessed, you can put that code in one place, and all the other methods in your class (and in everyone else's) will correctly call that special code. Here's an example:
private protected void aUsefulString(String s) { // the "set" method aUsefulString = s; performSomeImportantBookkeepingOn(s); }
It may seem a little difficult to get used to saying this:
x(12 + 5 * x());
rather than this:
x = 12 + 5 * x;
but the minor inconvenience will reward you with a rosy future of reusability and easy maintenance.
What if you want to create a shared variable that all your instances can see and use? If you use an instance variable, each instance has its own copy of the variable, defeating its whole purpose. If you place it in the class itself, however, there is only one copy, and all the instances of the class share it. This is called a class variable:
public class Circle { public static float pi = 3.14159265F; public float area(float r) { return pi * r * r; } }
Instances can refer to their own class variables as though they were instance variables, as in the last example. Because it's public, methods in other classes can also refer to pi:
float circumference = 2 * Circle.pi * r;
Class methods are defined analogously. They can be accessed in the same two ways by instances of their class, but only via the full class name by instances of other classes. Here's a class that defines class methods to help it count its own instances:
public class InstanceCounter { private static int instanceCount = 0; // a class variable private protected static int instanceCount() { // a class method return instanceCount; } private static void incrementCount() { ++instanceCount; } InstanceCounter() { InstanceCounter.incrementCount(); } }
In this example, an explicit use of the class name calls the method incrementCount(). Though this may seem verbose, in a larger program it immediately tells the reader which object (the class, rather than the instance) is expected to handle the method. This is especially useful if the reader needs to find where that method is declared in a large class that places all its class methods at the top (the recommended practice, by the way).
Note the initialization of instanceCount to 0. Just as an instance variable is initialized when its instance is created, a class variable is initialized when its class is created. This class initialization happens essentially before anything else can happen to that class, or its instances, so the class in the example will work as planned.
Finally, the conventions you learned for accessing an instance variable are applied in this example to access a class variable. The accessor methods are therefore class methods. (There is no "set" method here, just an increment method, because no one is allowed to set instanceCount directly.) Note that only subclasses are allowed to ask what the instanceCount is, because that is a (relatively) intimate detail. Here's a test of InstanceCounter in action:
public class InstanceCounterTester extends InstanceCounter { public static void main(String arg[]) { // argv. a little UNIX nostagia for (int i = 0; i < 10; ++i) new InstanceCounter(); System.out.println("made " + InstanceCounter.instanceCount()); } }
Not shockingly, this example prints the following:
made 10
Although it's not the final modifier discussed, the final modifier is very versatile:
Here's a final class declaration:
public final class AFinalClass { . . . }
You declare a class final for only two reasons. The first is security. You expect to use its instances as unforgeable capabilities, and you don't want anyone else to be able to subclass and create new and different instances of them. The second is efficiency. You want to count on instances of only that one class (and no subclasses) being around in the system so that you can optimize for them.
It will be a rare event for you to create a final class yourself, although you'll have plenty of opportunity to be upset at certain system classes being final (thus making extending them annoyingly difficult). Oh well, such is the price of security and efficiency. Let's hope that efficiency will be less of an issue soon, and some of these classes will become public once again.
To declare constants in Java, use final variables:
public class AnotherFinalClass { public static final int aConstantInt = 123; public final String aConstantString = "Hello world!"; }
final class and instance variables can be used in expressions just like normal class and instance variables, but they cannot be modified. As a result, final variables must be given their (constant) value at the time of declaration. These variables function like a better, typed version of the #define constants of C. Classes can provide useful constants to other classes via final class variables such as aConstantInt in the last example. Other classes reference them just as before: AnotherFinalClass.aConstantInt.
Local variables (those inside blocks of code surrounded by braces, for example, in while or for loops) can't be declared final. (This would be just a convenience, really, because final instance variables work almost as well in this case.) In fact, local variables can have no modifiers in front of them at all:
{ int aLocalVariable; // I'm so sad without my modifiers... . . . }
Here's an example of using final methods:
public class MyPenultimateFinalClass { public static final void aUniqueAndReallyUsefulMethod() { . . . } public final void noOneGetsToDoThisButMe() { . . . } }
final methods cannot be overridden by subclasses. It is a rare thing that a method truly wants to declare itself the final word on its own implementation, so why does this modifier apply to methods?
The answer is efficiency. If you declare a method final, the compiler can then "in-line" it right in the middle of methods that call it, because it "knows" that no one else can ever subclass and override the method to change its meaning. Although you might not use final right away when writing a class, as you tune the system later, you may discover that a few methods have to be final to make your class fast enough. Almost all your methods will be fine, however, just as they are.
The Java class library declares a lot of commonly used methods final so that you'll benefit from the speed-up. In the case of classes that are already final, this makes perfect sense and is a wise choice. The few final methods declared in non-final classes will annoy youyour subclasses can no longer override them. When efficiency becomes less of an issue for the Java environment, many of these final methods can be "unfrozen" again, restoring this lost flexibility to the system.
If you use accessor methods a lot (as recommended) and are worried about efficiency, here's a rewrite of ACorrectClass that's much faster:
public class ACorrectFinalClass { private String aUsefulString; public final String aUsefulString() { // now faster to use return aUsefulString; } private protected final void aUsefulString(String s) { // also faster aUsefulString = s; } }
Whenever you arrange classes into an inheritance hierarchy, the presumption is that "higher" classes are more abstract and general, whereas "lower" subclasses are more concrete and specific. Often, as you design a set of classes, you factor out common design and implementation into a shared superclass. If the primary reason that a superclass exists is to act as this common, shared repository, and if only its subclasses expect to be used, that superclass is called an abstract class.
abstract classes can create no instances, but they can contain anything a normal class can contain and, in addition, are allowed to prefix any of their methods with the modifier abstract. Non-abstract classes are not allowed to use this modifier; using it on even one of your methods requires that your whole class be declared abstract. Here's an example:
public abstract class MyFirstAbstractClass { int anInstanceVariable; public abstract int aMethodMyNonAbstractSubclassesMustImplement(); public void doSomething() { . . . // a normal method } } public class AConcreteSubClass extends MyFirstAbstractClass { public int aMethodMyNonAbstractSubclassesMustImplement() { . . . // we *must* implement this method } }
and some attempted uses of these classes:
Object a = new MyFirstAbstractClass(); // illegal, is abstract Object c = new AConcreteSubClass(); // OK, a concrete subclass
Notice that abstract methods need no implementation; it is required that non-abstract subclasses provide an implementation. The abstract class simply provides the template for the methods, which are implemented by others later. In fact, in the Java class library, there are several abstract classes that have no documented subclasses in the system, but simply provide a base from which you can subclass in your own programs. If you look at the diagrams in Appendix B, abstract classes are shaded darker than final classes, and are quite common in the library.
Using an abstract class to embody a pure designthat is, nothing but abstract methodsis better accomplished in Java by using an interface (discussed tomorrow). Whenever a design calls for an abstraction that includes instance state and/or a partial implementation, however, an abstract class is your only choice. In previous object-oriented languages, abstract classes were simply a convention. They proved so valuable that Java supports them not only in the form described here, but in the purer, richer form of interfaces, which will be described tomorrow.
Today, you learned how variables and methods can control their visibility and access by other classes via the four P's of protection: public, package, protected, and private. You also learned that, although instance variables are most often declared private, declaring accessor methods allows you to control the reading and writing of them separately. Protection levels allow you, for example, to separate cleanly your public abstractions from their concrete representations.
You also learned how to create class variables and methods, which are associated with the class itself, and how to declare final variables, methods, and classes to represent constants and fast or secure methods and classes.
Finally, you discovered how to declare and use abstract classes, which cannot be instantiated, and abstract methods, which have no implementation and must be overridden in subclasses. Together, they provide a template for subclasses to fill in and act as a variant of the powerful interfaces of Java that you'll study tomorrow.
Q: Why are there so many different levels of protection in Java?
A: Each level of protection, or visibility, provides a different view of your class to the outside world. One view is tailored for everyone, one for classes in your own package, another for your class and its subclasses only, one combining these last two and the final one for just within your class. Each is a logically well-defined and useful separation that Java supports directly in the language (as opposed to, for example, accessor methods, which are a convention you must follow).
Q: Won't using accessor methods everywhere slow down my Java code?
A: Not always. Soon, Java compilers will be smart enough to make them fast automatically, but if you're concerned about speed, you can always declare accessor methods to be final, and they'll be just as fast as direct instance variable accesses.
Q: Are class (static) methods inherited just like instance methods?
A: No. static (class) methods are now final by default. How, then, can you ever declare a non-final class method? The answer is that you can't! Inheritance of class methods is not allowed, breaking the symmetry with instance methods. Because this goes against a part of Java's philosophy (of making everything as simple as possible) perhaps it will be reversed in a later release.
Q: Based on what I've learned, it seems like private abstract methods and final abstract methods or classes don't make sense. Are they legal?
A: Nope, they're compile-time errors, as you have guessed. To be useful, abstract methods must be overridden, and abstract classes must be subclassed, but neither of those two operations would be legal if they were also private or final.
Q: What about static transient, final transient, or final volatile?
A: Those are also compile-time errors. Because a "transient" part of an object's state is assumed to be changing within each instance, it can not be static or final. Similarly, a "volatile" variable cannot be final (constant).This restriction matters only in the future, though, when transient and volatile are actually used by Java.

IPCC sea-level rise scenarios not fit for purpose for high-risk coastal areas
The sea-level rise scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) do not necessarily provide the right information for high-risk coastal decision-making and management, according to new research involving scientists from the Global Climate Forum in Berlin.
A commentary, published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, warns that the IPCC scenarios are often inappropriate or incomplete for the management of high-risk coastal areas as they exclude the potential for extreme sea-level rises. This missing information is also crucial for a number of policy processes, such as discussions by G7 countries to establish climate insurance policies and allocations of adaptation funding by the Green Climate Funds.
"Although the IPCC scenarios are a big step forward in understanding how the climate system works, these scenarios are not designed from the perspective of coastal risk management and, unfortunately, this is not spelled out clearly both within and beyond the IPCC reports," says lead author Dr Jochen Hinkel from the Global Climate Forum. Dr Hinkel is also Lead Author of the coastal chapter of the Working Group 2 contribution to the latest IPCC report.
The IPCC sea-level rise scenarios are developed for the purpose of understanding the physics of the earth system through so called process-based models, which are models based on the laws of physics. As a consequence, these scenarios cover only the central range of possible sea-level rise. For example, the scenarios of IPCC Fifth Assessment Report estimate that by 2100 global mean sea-level is likely to rise by 0.28–0.98m relative to 1986–2005. The probability of staying within this range is, however, estimated to be only at least 66 per cent.
Knowing the central range is, however, generally not sufficient for coastal risk management. This is because inhabitants of densely populated coastal zones generally prefer to avoid major damage under all circumstances and hence coastal planers are particularly interested in possible high-end sea-level rise scenarios beyond the IPCC range.
"Consider, for example, the situation of London," explains Dr Hinkel, "which is protected against coastal floods through the Thames Estuary Barrier. There was concern that rapid sea-level rise would not allow sufficient time to upgrade or replace the Thames Estuary Barrier because such large engineering tasks require 25–30 years for planning and implementation." For such a situation, the IPCC scenario range is not the right piece of information, because there is a 0–33 per cent probability of sea-level rise lying outside of this range. Such a high residual risk is not tolerable from the perspective of protecting major cities from sea-level rise. These situations require high-end scenarios in order to make sure that there are options available that can be realised even in the worst case to come.
Co-author Professor Carlo Jaeger from the Beijing Normal University says: "Ongoing work on projecting the central range of sea-level rise should be complemented with the development of high-end scenarios for different time horizons that correspond to different real-world coastal management decisions."
"Such scenarios should also consider all the information on future sea levels including semi-empirical models, physical constraints on ice-sheet dynamics and paleo-records of sea-level change, because coastal high-risk management requires an analysis of decisions against all available knowledge, including all uncertainties and also ambiguities amongst expert opinions and their distinct approaches," says Dr Hinkel.
The researchers say that the current subdivision of the IPCC is an area that needs to be addressed.
Professor Jaeger adds: "Dividing the IPCC into Working Groups by disciplines with sea-level science sitting in Working Group 1 and coastal risk management in Working Group 2 hinders a stronger focus on better understanding of the high-end tail of sea-level rise in support of risk management. Given that the mandate of the IPCC is to be policy-relevant, a more effective organisation of its assessment would be by policy questions. One of these questions should link sea-level rise information to the needs of coastal risk management."

More Congressional Republicans are on Facebook than Democrats and GOP lawmakers tweet more often than their counterparts across the political aisle.
According to a survey conducted by the Associated Press, 86 percent of House Republicans tweet compared to just 75 percent of Democrats. Forty-one of the 47 Senate Republicans and 41 of the 51 Senate Democrats tweet. Eight of 10 members in both the House and Senate use Facebook and Twitter.
Not surprisingly, congressional tweeting has its skeptics. Some social media experts say lawmakers miss the point of this interactive space by trying to push messages instead of engaging with people, especially millennials — young adults between 18 and 29 whom AP says "practically live online." The Pew Internet and American Life Project says one third of Americans in the millennial age group seek to connect with their governmental officials online.
"I want it to be something that's going to be valid to me as an 18-year-old, as a new voter," says Emily Bartone, a student at George Mason University in Northern Virginia. "They can talk and talk and talk about whatever their agenda is, but if they don't personalize it to their views and their audience, then they're not going to get anywhere with it."
Heather Smith of Rock the Vote tells AP, "Have a real conversation. Talk about the issues and engage them in authentic ways. Be yourself, use the technology and people will write back."
The shadow of former Congressman Andrew Wiener getting way too personal in his tweets still looms over the Capitol, but federal lawmakers seem to be opening up to the possibilities afforded online. Some are holding online townhall meetings. The House Republican caucus held an online group townhall called "America Speaking Out."
Others are sparking conversations about serious issues, even issues pertaining to the gridlock in Congress that has discouraged many Americans and possibly eroded consumer confidence, weakening the economic recovery.
AP, with the aid of Northwestern University Medill School of Journalism students, profiled social media use by four federal lawmakers. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) sends her own messages that range from comments on the debt ceiling debate to how to make funnel cake. Senator John Boozman (R-Ark) sends out 5-minute YouTube clips, often accompanied by tweets and Facebook status updates.
Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wis), who generated lots of heat over his GOP budget plan, tweets an average of 2.3 per day and has accumulated 72,000 Twitter followers. His office says he manages his own Twitter account and follows just one other Twitter user, NationalDebt. Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) hosted a "Speed Geeking" event at which House members could try out different social media platforms. Pelosi says she likes Twitter because it gives her real-time feedback.
Andrew Foxwell of iConstituent told AP, "Social media should be a catalyst for political dialogue. It's what I call a 360-degree conversations. Somebody gets an email or e-letter from their representative. Then they start following that representative on Facebook or Twitter. They ask a question and the representative responds. Then you are having a real experience with a person."
Of course, nobody seems more plugged into social media than Barack Obama who has held a a Twitter Townhall and recently did a group chat on LinkedIn.
